Excellent, Affordable, Sport Trim SUV w. 7 Seats!
By Guy Who Loves Fords on Monday, June 04, 2018Purchased this as my first SUV for the family; originally having come from a Honda Accord as a child, a Saab 900 SE Turbo as a young adult, and a 2013 Mustang GT that has been supercharged in recent years (now the garage queen next to this truck). Never have I had this level of space, comfort, and versatility in my vehicles listed above. The vehicle is quiet across all corridors, offers an excellent surround sound system, XM Satellite Radio, WiFI connectivity for regular updates, and more. I opted for the twin moon roof option, as well as the captains chairs to give it that next level of functional comfort, and have not regretted it for a second. The engine, while small, runs strong with the twin turbos - regularly edging out lesser vehicles in head to head match ups and overall the vehicle sits sleek among the SUV pack with exterior black trim, and some upgraded wheels to match. I love this truck - while my boosted Mustang gives me the feel of a sports car, this truck does not necessarily take away from that feeling, all while providing every creature comfort imaginable.

Great vehicle for a small family
By Rob on Saturday, January 04, 2014After owning my 2013 Explorer XLT for the past 12 months here are my reviews; OUTSIDE: PROS: The body style, though three years old now, still surprises some people when they find out it's a Ford Explorer. Great design upgrade Ford! The ride is smooth and the wind noise is kept to a minimum for an SUV. CONS: The seemingly wider body can be a challenge to park in narrow parking lot spaces. The body panels are rounded to where you aren't sure if you are going to hit a vehicle while parking. I've gotten use to it but my wife absolutely hates it. The door panels are large and allow road grime and water inside them but the seals keep it out of the cabin. It's more of a cosmetic thing since the only thing it affects is the appearance when you open the doors. Doesn't offer power folding mirrors. These are becoming popular here in the United States (have been STANDARD on all vehicles manufactured in Japan since 1996) and are very nice when parking in parking lots or "two car" garages (since we all know that two car garages will only fit two compact cars). ELECTRICAL: PROS: I really like the My Ford Touch system and have not had any issues with it. There have been two upgrades that have come out this year but I've never had any issues with my system. (Note that I do NOT own the Navigation system that seems to give others issues) I really enjoy the touch screen and the touch responses are pretty quick. There is a lot there, in particular with the Climate controls, but what touch system now a days isn't. The ability to keep the dash readout clean by allowing you to scroll though different gauge settings and views is a plus as well. Rear view camera is a blessing since the field of view outside the back window isn't very large. CONS: The headlights tend to cause other drivers to flash their lights at you because they think you have your brights on. I'm not a big fan of these type of lights because they concentrate the light and therefore either you can see whats there or you can't. There is a defined line of light that limits your night vision. Inside the line of light you see what's there. Outside the line, you don't! In my opinion, this can be very dangerous. Power driver and passenger seats are nice but a bit on the slow side. Speed these up a bit. With the XLT model there are no seat memory settings offered. INTERIOR ROOM: PROS: The seating is nice and offers room for seven. The third row seat is a nice addition as well. CONS: The third row seating takes away leg room from the back seat passengers and the third row seating is really meant for young children so "technically" you can fit seven, but five of those seven better be young children for comfort reasons. The third row is accessible via a flip up back seat on the passenger side only since the back seat is a 60/40 bench (unless you opt for the captain chairs). In my case, I have two young children in forward facing booster seats and a baby in a rear facing car seat. Because of the third row seating moving the back seats forward, YOU CAN NOT PUT A REAR FACING CHILD SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEATS WITHOUT HAVING THOSE SEATS IN A MORE FORWARD POSITION THAN WHAT WOULD BE COMFORTABLE. To help you picture this, I am 5'9" and my daughter's rear facing car seat would not fit behind my seat without my knees hugging the dashboard. A rear facing seat will however fit in the middle of the bench seat just fine with both front seats in a normal position. If you have two children (twins maybe) this would not be a good fit for you. The XLT trim level does NOT offer power adjustable gas and brake pedals. However it does try to compensate for this by offering a manual adjustable steering wheel that you can extend or retract based on your arm length needs. Not a big fan of this limitation since my wife's Expedition has power adjustable pedals and she is rather a bit height challenged. POWER: PROS: The 3.5L V-6 is very adequate for everyday driving duties however I wouldn't want to tow much with it. According to my system checks, I average 19.5 MPG which is pleasantly nice for an SUV. CONS: If you are going to offer a tow package, offer a V-8 OR make the 3.5L Twin-Turbo V-6 an option for every trim level and NOT JUST the Explorer Sport trim.

By Strauss on Tuesday, November 12, 2013Awesome car! This is my first SUV I've had and i love it. I feel the right height is perfect. Not too low, and not to high. I dont feel like i'm going to rip my pants when trying to get in like I feel when i'm getting in my buddy's F-150 (no step), yet its high enough to see the road and feel confident while driving. the interior provides options for different interior configurations and it seemed to work perfectly for the one road trip i've had so far. when i first bought the car i though it was a big sluggish than expected. However, I have about 4,000 miles on it now and it seems to be getting quicker everyday and its now about the level i expected it to be. (love hovering around 40mph then punching it!) also, i feel confident in quick cornering, i dont feel like i'm going to tip over. i've even taken the circle exit ramps at 50mph no problem as i would in my mustang also. overall i'm happy with it 100%.. no regrets. i love the look of the sport amd i wouldnt have it any other way. One downside is by having a white explorer with a black grill many people think i'm a cop from a distance so i've seen may car in front of me slow down when i'm coming up on them! (but its also funny). i love the car and i wouldnt trade it for anything. but there a just a couple con's i've came up with: 1. myford touch doesnt recognize pandora 2. i cant get lane keep assist in the sport model 3. i cant get park assist in the sport model 4. no HID lights w/ LED license plte light 5. no automatic wipers.... for 50k i'd expect automatic wipers and HID's to make it look like its worth every bit of that 50,000 i have everything fully loaded besides the screens in the headrest and my sticker price was 49,700. however i'm leasing the car on the Z-plan. 2,000 down 466/month for 24months. 15k miles/yr. hope this helps!

Now that the Oscars are over, L.A.'s real fashion show is about to begin.
VIPS from the worlds of retail, media and showbiz are converging on Los Angeles this weekend for the launch of Style Fashion Week at L.A. Live: five days of runway shows, product launches and installations, all spotlighting dozens of designers, brands and local businesses.
The March 9-13 event's 20,000 attendees bring a ton of business into the city's hotels, restaurants, stores and nightlife. And the shows highlight an industry that contributes more than $40 billion to the Los Angeles and Orange County economies.
Still, L.A. is the runt of Fashion Week compared with other cities — New York, Paris, London and Milan — for a reason, said Ilse Metchek, president of the California Fashion Association.
Angelenos find it hard to earn haute couture cred in part because here, the industry is dominated by denim, casual ready-to-wear and children's garment manufacturers. It's not driven by sophisticated, complicated pieces.
And the style icons here don't hail from the world of high fashion.
"Ours is not an industry based on fashion shows," Metchek said. "Our fashion comes from the street — what the Kardashians are wearing, what we see on TV, what Miley Cyrus is doing. That's what we do."
While the other cities produce over-the-top shows around cutting-edge designers in pursuit of endorsement deals and a page in Vogue, L.A. is about fashion-forward trends. A buyer's market if you will.
"What you'll see at L.A. Fashion Week is hundreds of buyers taking notes and looking at what will be in stores for fall," Metchek said. "At Style Fashion Week, you'll see bloggers who will get media exposure for the exhibitors rather than orders."
But this year's Style Fashion Week — the single biggest event in L.A.'s overall Fashion Week — is a symbol of how hard the city has worked to overcome its off-the-rack reputation.
Back in 2008, the local industry took a serious blow when Mercedes-Benz — which sponsors prestigious Fashion Weeks in New York, Berlin and other cities worldwide — pulled its backing of L.A.'s event. That sent a signal to the entire industry and dimmed the fashion spotlight on Los Angeles.
Enter Veronica Welch.
A PR professional, Welch came up with a plan to put Los Angeles Fashion Week on the map once and for all. Insiders scoffed at her vision, calling it a lost cause. But to her, creating what would become Style Fashion Week by 2011 seemed like the solution to a mystery that had long baffled her.
"It still doesn't make sense to me how L.A., which has so many designers, so many manufacturers, so many celebrities that live there, didn't have a legitimate fashion week," she says.
Now Welch's pipe dream opens its 7th biannual season Sunday as the city's biggest, star-studded fashion party around.
Part of Style Fashion Week's vision, for example, is expecting its young designers to "look like they're already established although they're new" if they want to be part of the show.
"I think we all know after you've seen two or three fashion shows, you've pretty much seen it," Welch said. "The challenge is really how do we create an entire week of day-to-night performances, celebrities, musicians and shows that keep editors and guests coming back for more."
And even though Los Angeles is still in the shadow of New York and the others, it is gradually earning respect.
"I think when designers are striving for that (high fashion) they tend to take their shows to New York," said Leslie Fremar, the stylist behind Charlize Theron's '50s silhouette on Oscar night and an Ask.com contributor. "I can see why it would be hard, but I think L.A. has really come into its own and broken down a lot of those stereotypes and is doing interesting things."
Style Fashion Week was also honored at City Hall on Wednesday and Mayor Eric Garcetti plans to attend opening night.
In part, that's also a recognition of how much the industry itself contributes to Los Angeles.
"L.A. is the creative capital of the world, and the fashion industry is a key element of our creative ecosystem and economy," Garcetti said. "I want L.A. to not just be the place that sets the trends, but the place that puts people to work creating and manufacturing them."
According to the Fashion Industry Association, the industry provides jobs to more than 73,000 people in Los Angeles. That's second only to New York City, which has 121,000 employed in the industry. Apparel and textiles are the second largest commodity sector coming through the Port of Los Angeles, trailing automobiles.
Fashion steppingstone
Among one of the more popular events during L.A. Fashion Week is Project Ethos, a showcase of emerging talents in fashion, music and art. The show at the Avalon Hollywood on March 18 is open to the public with tickets priced $20 to $100, plus fees. Tickets can be purchased online at http://projectethos.tv.
Think "hunky, hot men" wearing eco-friendly Wood Underwear, models sashaying down the catwalk in gowns by "Project Runway" alum Layana Aguilar in her West Coast debut and bikini-clad bods showcasing designs by the brand Indah Clothing, which just made a splash in Sports Illustrated. The event also features DJ sets and live music by electro-soul duo Denitia and Sene. Upstairs, attendees can explore a henna tattooing exhibit by Mehndi artist Neha Assar, the gun violence messages in the art of 11-year-old artist Charles Gitnick of Woodland Hills and a creation in progress by street artist Paige Smith.
"Everyone always wants to hype up the fashion but it's a whole experience for people that night," said Brianne Bear, chief operating officer of Project Ethos. "It's about curating events with different types of art mediums — DJ acts as well as live bands, different kinds of fashion from ready-to-wear to couture, swimwear, street wear because at the end of the day we're trying to excite the crowd and make sure there are elements that buyers and art gallery dealers are going to be pleased with as well."
For participants, L.A. Fashion Week is a steppingstone.
Style Fashion Week alum Skingraft just showcased its latest creations at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York and its line is worn by Justin Bieber. Alternative Apparel's collection of ready-to-wear basics attracted international buyers after its show.
"All of these opportunities are wonderful; unfortunately, these opportunities are only available to someone with a huge backing; and that's the problem," said Elisa Randazzo, designer of Cameo Clothing, an ethical, sustainable line made in L.A. from fabric that's mostly milled locally and has been seen around town on stars like Heidi Klum, Kate Hudson and Rachel Bilson.
While she's never showcased her wears at L.A. Fashion Week, Randazzo has attended the shows both as a stylist and an observer over the years.
"I started out my line with $5,000," she said. "What shows can I do? And can I get into Fashion Week? That's a different and very expensive road to take."
Depending on the show, participating in Fashion Week can cost a designer upwards of $50,000.
While it's still in its infancy, Style Fashion Week is growing. In October, the event moved its platform from Vibiana to a 42,000-square-foot tent at L.A. Live and "quadrupled" in size. That spring show saw famous faces like Lindsay Lohan, Adam Lambert and Dita Von Teese in the crowd. This time around is expected to be bigger given the show's growing roster of designers from all over the world, including "Project Runway" alumni Michael Costello, who designed the sheer floral lace gown that Beyonce wore to the Grammys.
Fashion icon Betsey Johnson, up-and-comer Quyhn Paris and more will also send their latest creations down the catwalk.
Yes, in L.A.
"People always talk about how we'll never be Milan, we'll never be New York — and that's absolutely correct, we actually don't want to be," Welch said, chuckling. "We're L.A., where people are beautiful and the styles are amazing. It's definitely different than everything else.
"Yet, it is very fashionable."

|Defunct (July 8, 2013[2])
AltaVista was an early web search engine. It was once one of the most popular search engines, but it lost ground to Google and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, which retained the brand but based all AltaVista searches on its own search engine. On July 8, 2013, the service was shut down by Yahoo! and since then, the domain redirects to Yahoo!'s own search site.[2]
AltaVista was created by researchers at Digital Equipment Corporation's Network Systems Laboratory and Western Research Laboratory who were trying to provide services to make finding files on the public network easier.[3] Paul Flaherty came up with the original idea,[4] [5] along with Louis Monier and Michael Burrows, who wrote the crawler and indexer, respectively. The name "AltaVista" was chosen in relation to the surroundings of their company at Palo Alto, California. AltaVista publicly launched as an internet search engine on December 15, 1995 at altavista.digital.com.[6][7]
At launch, the service had two innovations that put it ahead of other search engines available at the time: it used a fast, multi-threaded crawler (Scooter) that could cover many more webpages than were believed to exist at the time, and it had an efficient back-end search, running on advanced hardware.
- Email from early January, 1996:
Thank you for your comments. As we are starting up the Beta phase of the Alta Vista project, we are trying to respond individually to some of the messages we have received. We are putting the following hardware information on the site. Alta Vista is a very large project, requiring the cooperation of at least 5 servers, configured for searching huge indices and handling a huge Internet traffic load. The initial hardware configuration for Alta Vista is as follows: Alta Vista -- AlphaStation 250 4/266 4 GB disk 196 MB memory Primary web server for gotcha.com Queries directed to WebIndexer or NewsIndexer NewsServer -- AlphaStation 400 4/233 24 GB of RAID disks 160 MB memory News spool from which news index is generated Serves articles (via http) to those without news server NewsIndexer -- AlphaStation 250 4/266 13 GB disk 196 MB memory Builds news index using articles from NewsServer Answers news index queries from Alta Vista Spider -- DEC 3000 Model 900 (replacement for Model 500) 30 GB of RAID disk 1GB memory Collects pages from the web for WebIndexer WebIndexer -- Alpha Server 8400 5/300 210 GB RAID disk (expandable) 4 GB memory (expandable) 4 processors (expandable) Builds the web index using pages sent by Spider. Answers web index queries from Alta Vista Thank you, Alta Vista Technical Support
As of 1998, it used 20 multi-processor machines using DEC's 64-bit Alpha processor. Together, the back-end machines had 130 GB of RAM and 500 GB of hard disk space, and received 13 million queries every day.[8] This made AltaVista the first searchable, full-text database of a large part of the World Wide Web.[citation needed] Another distinguishing feature of AltaVista was its minimalistic interface, which was lost when it became a portal, but regained when it refocused its efforts on its search function. It also allowed the user to limit search results from a domain, reducing the likelihood of multiple results from the same source.
AltaVista's site was an immediate success. Traffic increased steadily from 300,000 hits on the first day to more than 80 million hits per day two years later. The ability to search the web, and AltaVista's service in particular, became the subject of numerous articles and even some books.[3] AltaVista itself became one of the top destinations on the web, and in 1997 it earned US$50 million in sponsorship revenue.[9]
By using the data collected by the crawler, employees from AltaVista, together with others from IBM and Compaq, were the first to analyze the strength of connections within the budding World Wide Web in a seminal study in 2000.[10]
Business transactions
In 1996, AltaVista became the exclusive provider of search results for Yahoo!. In 1998, Digital was sold to Compaq and in 1999, Compaq redesigned AltaVista as a web portal, hoping to compete with Yahoo!. Under CEO Rod Schrock, AltaVista abandoned its streamlined search page, and focused on adding features such as shopping and free e-mail.[11] In June 1998, Compaq paid AltaVista Technology Incorporated ("ATI") $3.3 million for the domain name altavista.com – Jack Marshall, cofounder of ATI, had registered the name in 1994.
In June 1999, Compaq sold a majority stake in AltaVista to CMGI, an internet investment company.[12] CMGI filed for an initial public offering for AltaVista to take place in April 2000, but when the internet bubble collapsed, the IPO was cancelled.[13] Meanwhile, it became clear that AltaVista's portal strategy was unsuccessful, and the search service began losing market share, especially to Google. After a series of layoffs and several management changes, AltaVista gradually shed its portal features and refocused on search. By 2002, AltaVista had improved the quality and freshness of its results and redesigned its user interface.[14]
In February 2003, AltaVista was bought by Overture Services, Inc.[15] In July 2003, Overture was taken over by Yahoo!.[16]
In December 2010, a Yahoo! employee leaked PowerPoint slides indicating that the search engine would shut down as part of a consolidation at Yahoo!.[17] In May 2011, the shutdown commenced, and all results began to be returned on a Yahoo! page.
Free services
AltaVista provided Babel Fish, a web-based machine translation application that translates text or web pages from one of several languages into another. It was later superseded by Yahoo! Babel Fish and now redirects to Bing's translation service. They also provided free email.
On June 28, 2013, Yahoo announced that AltaVista would be closed on July 8, 2013.[18] Since that day, visits to AltaVista's home page are redirected to Yahoo!'s main page. The decision to close AltaVista was announced on Yahoo!'s Tumblr page.[19][20]

::begin light-hearted humor::
On August 8th, 2007, a date that seems like an eternity ago, you made a comment about making ramen. Well, I must say "Where's my ramen?"
I must request that, after you finish your rough draft (or the book, whichever it may be) that you do indeed tackle ramen. Run at it flat out and clothesline it.
There are various other websites on the tubes that have pretty trashy instructions. Some, are just plain wrong. Most of the quality ones that I have seen are actually in Japanese, and engrish instructions from a translator are no good.
With the winter months (or perhaps different depending on where you are currently living, which also seems seasonal) approaching here in the states, what better time than to make ramen? Tonkotsu variety in particular!
Pork bones can be found at any butcher, and many asian grocers stock fresh yaki-soba noodles and kamaboko. So apart from the broth, perhaps the chashu?
Thanks for a great website and good luck with your book!
Well umm, don't hold your breath for a ramen posting anytime soon. Besides the book, I have Major House/Kitchen issues at the moment. Check back in oh, 6 months maybe. ^_^;
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Have you actually found a place to settle yet Maki?
My blog is Food and Shoes
No...I'm still a homeless nomad. Long story.... :(
I don't think I can handle that. I was planning on making ramen this weekend, but I ended up having a niece instead. The pits, I know.
Perhaps you know some tips off the back of your hand. I have been reading many websites about it and for the tonkotsu ramen everything tells me to boil the pig bones and parts (longer the better.) However, watching Tampopo for some inspiration (and the sex scenes that are nearly uncomfortable enough to watch alone, haha) they are saying that you should never let it boil. But perhaps this is only for the shoyu base?
Oh well. Find a house! Get cracking, or cooking?
Maybe you are supposed to simmer it for hours and hours but not let it boil?

Dossier Disclaimer
The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered.

Important Notes
Costa Rica will not be allowing anyone to enter the country without proof of a departure ticket (bus, airplane, boat, etc.).

Please print the itinerary and voucher and bring it with you.
Group Leader Description
Chief Experience Officer (CEO) throughout, local guides
Group Size Notes
Max 16, avg 10.
Meals Included
4 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 4 dinners
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. For Independent trips please check the itinerary for details of meals included. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Local bus, pickup truck, private vehicle, raft, hiking.
Solo Travellers
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hotels (5 nts twin-share, 2 nts triple-share), jungle homestay (3 nts, multi-share), cave camping (1 nt, sleeping bags, no electricity).
About Accommodation
You will be provided with a sleeping mat and sleeping bag for the cave camping so it is not required you bring your own. You will need to prepare a day bag for this overnight as your main luggage will be stored safely while you hike up to the cave. It's very important to bring plastic bags or dry bags for waterproofing your items.

Visas and Entry Requirements
All countries require a valid passport (with a minimum 6 months validity). Contact your local embassy, or consulate for the most up-to-date visa requirements, or see your travel agent.
As of November 1st, 2007, the Costa Rica government, requires those entering Costa Rica from certain countries in South America and Sub-Sahara Africa, to have an International Certificate of Vaccination against Yellow Fever. Those affected countries are: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, French Guiana and Venezuela.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure.
Spending Money
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange
The currency in Costa Rica is the Colon (CRC).
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances. Visa cards are the most widely accepted cards. While ATMs are widely available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Latin America. Check with your bank.
You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of US dollars cash and cards is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
We do not recommend you bring travellers cheques, as it is very difficult to exchange them in Costa Rica.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE TIP: Please be advised that slightly torn notes, notes that have been heavily marked or are faded may be difficult to exchange. It is best to bring notes in fairly good condition, in denominations lower than 100USD (or equivalent).
As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com
Emergency Fund
Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Departure Tax
Costa Rica airport exit tax: $29USD

Safety and Security
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure.
Petty theft, bag snatching and muggings have been on the rise in San Jose. Though not common, there are certain precautions you should take when visiting the city. Although the cities visited on our tours are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions, as they are the safest and easiest way to avoid any issues one might encounter on the streets after dark. In addition, always leave your passport (It's better to carry a photocopy of it instead), credit cards and money that you won't be using in the hotel. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes in the room, or a general one at reception, this is always the safest method of storing your valuables. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Remember that like in any other city, you should never leave your bags unattended, nor flaunt jewellery, cameras etc . A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your CEO has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns.
Your CEO will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgment when selecting an activity in your free time. Stick to the main streets only during the day, and after sundown, please take a taxi. Taxis can be organized from reception of your hotel. Also, take the address of the hotel with you.
Protests and Demonstrations- Protests and demonstrations, even those that are well intended, have the potential to turn violent with no warning. Counter protests can also turn violent. Action by security forces to disperse demonstrators and protesters may occur at any time. If you are in an area where demonstrators or protesters are gathering, avoid the temptation of staying for a good photo opportunity and leave the area immediately.
Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards) have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s).
Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk.
We take all prudent measures in relation to your safety. For ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling, please visit:
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

The central plaza is a good place to people-watch. A mime, juggler, marimba band, magician, or storyteller may be performing for whatever is collected when the hat is passed. Artisan booths are common, creating a regular arts and crafts fair atmosphere.

Additional Notes:
Twin 85-foot waterfalls cascade over the cave accommodation. Don't think tight spaces – this is what we call an open cave and you will have no trouble enjoying the surroundings. There are hand-crafted stone beds to sleep on, composting toilets and a fully working kitchen inside the cave itself.

It's a long time from now until winter wheat harvest next May and June. And wheat farmers may need every one of those eight months to find an opportunity to market their crops at better prices.
Although growers planted fewer acres of wheat in 2004-05 — normally a positive sign for prices — the market is sending out contradictory signals because of production increases outside the United States, says Kurt M. Guidry, an agricultural economist with the LSU AgCenter.
Plantings of all classes of wheat fell by 2 million acres in 2004 to 59.7 million, the lowest level in the United States over the past 20 years, he said. Along with fewer acres, slightly lower yields are expected to decrease total production by 214 million bushels to 2.12 billion.
"While production has not been an overwhelmingly negative factor in this market, continued struggles on the demand side of the equation have limited price potential," says Guidry, a speaker at the 2004 Southern Region Agricultural Outlook Conference in Atlanta.
The real culprit on the demand side, says Guidry, has been export sales. "Despite improved export sales during the 2003-04 marketing year, larger world stocks and increased competition are expected to place wheat exports below 1 billion bushels for only the third time in the past 15 years.
"U.S. exports are expected to fall by 209 million bushels from the previous year to 950 million bushels. While domestic demand is expected to improve moderately, the pessimistic outlook for exports is a real concern for this market."
Although U.S. production has declined, the world wheat crop is expected to reach a record 610 million metric tons for 2004-05. Increased yield prospects in the Ukraine, Romania and several countries of the European Union will mean more competition for U.S. wheat exports.
Growing world consumption could help offset much of that increased production, but world ending stocks are forecast to be up by more than 7 percent from the previous year.
"While increasing stocks is never a positive for a market, world stocks are still relatively tight," says Guidry. "During the 2003-04 year, world wheat stocks fell to the lowest level since the 1982-83 marketing year. That tight stock situation has helped provide support to prices over the past year.
"Stocks are expected to increase, but 142 million metric tons is still the second lowest in the past 20 years."
The wheat market gained some support from delays in harvesting the spring wheat crop. Farmers in the upper Midwest and Northwest had gathered 81 percent of the crop as of Sept. 20, compared to 100 percent of it at the same time last year and an average of 94 percent over the last five years. Minnesota and North Dakota, two of the major spring wheat-producing states, were only 70 percent through — nearly three weeks behind their normal pace.
"The delay in harvest brought questions about spring wheat quality and quantity," says Guidry.
Wheat prices, he says, have also drawn support from the surprising performance of export sales through the first four months of the marketing year (May-April). Sales have been matching the pace set last year.
Winter wheat plantings, meanwhile, will likely start pressuring wheat prices. This year's unusually dry September weather allowed farmers to get a jump start on the 2004-05 winter wheat crop.
"The quick start to planting, along with generally favorable moisture levels in major wheat-producing areas, left little concern regarding winter wheat production," Guidry notes. "A continuation of favorable planting and growing conditions would likely add pressure to prices."
The potential for good crops in other parts of the world and the potential for lower export demand longer term could put a damper on prices into next spring, he says.
"With new crop futures currently trading in the $3.40 per bushel range, it is highly unlikely winter wheat acres in 2005 will decline sufficiently enough to bring concerns about production shortfalls," he notes.
Long-term trends are not favorable either. Over the past five years, the new crop July wheat futures contract has fallen an average 46 cents per bushel from the first week in October to the last week in June.
"With the pressures of record world production, reduced export demand and the progression of the winter wheat crop, it is highly unlikely this market will see appreciable price improvement by the time the winter wheat crop reaches the market next summer," Guidry says.
"For prices to improve substantially, production shortfalls likely would be needed. With world stocks still relatively tight, the potential for price strengthening on any such production shortfalls would be magnified."

Well, her mom was when she talked about it with her, though leaving out all the magic. Her parents knew that was something she decided for herself and needed to do. In order for her to follow through, they had to let her go. Of course, I doubt they knew how dangerous the task was, and if they did, would they have still let her go? That is still up in the air.

They had to of figured out at some point. You wouldnt think the TSAB would employ her without her mothers consent, but they always were sketchy. And it's still the mother and fathers duty to see what their daughter is up to. The way I see it, they wanted her to make her own choices, regardless how dangerous they may have been.

Note: In Osaka, it seems Reinforce was 3rd instead. ("Although many people liked Hayate's Kansai dialect, it appears in Kansai people were very moved by Reinforce, therefore she was ranked higher than Hayate there")
Favorite scene poll.
1) Garden of Time (?)
2) Final Battle
3) Reinforce's departure (When she dies I guess)
4) Nanoha's fight against the Book of Darkness
5) Transformation scene
Notable mention: Nanoha vs. Vita, Nanoha and Fate's reunion

Much appreciated Mow_Yun <3
"1) Garden of Time (?)"
It's the dream scene where Fate meets Precia, Alicia and Linith.
@Keroko: My Japanese is minimal at best, so I wasn't able to pick up on that. I recall a few scenes with Yuuno where he was talking about something, prior to seeing him again during the final battle. Outside of the Defense Program being shown killing the Knights rather than the Lieze Twins who disguised themselves as Nanoha and Fate, it all seemed very similar to me in execution.

Left for TFF
Anime movies are almost universally non-canon.
Very few exceptions to that rule.
The Nanoha movies do not fall into the exceptions.

Since movie differences to the original series were brought up, I thought I'd clarify that the book coming to life in the A's series, wasn't random at all. It activated at midnight of her birthday. That can't be coincidence. Thus, Hayate probably reached some trigger threshold within the book's programming, that caused it to hold off until the new master was old enough (although it had begun to consume her much earlier).
I won't comment on much else, other than to say Yuuno's contribution was fairly important. Graham was fairly critical as well, as he was the one funding Hayate's expenses, and thus allowed her to live on her own. I don't know how the movie plans to address this, or whether it plans to just ignore it and hope we won't be paying attention.
But then again, we knew the movie would have to cut too much (especially to give Fate more pointless fluff time). The first movie did the same, cutting important stuff about Nanoha that they could have expanded upon.

MIDDLEBURY — During a typical August, Addison County Community Action Group's (ACCAG) food shelf is usually as bare as Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
But this is no typical August.
Thanks to a dream deal through which ACCAG was able to buy the inventory of two area discount food stores, many needy families in Addison County won't have to worry about going hungry — at least through next spring.
"This means that when people come to us, we will have the confidence that we'll be able to feed them," ACCAG Executive Director Jeanne Montross said, as she gestured to some of the dozens of grocery-laden shopping carts that are still waiting to be unloaded in the agency's Community Services Building on Boardman Street.

VERGENNES — Vergennes Day, which lures thousands of visitors to the Little City every August, will celebrate its 25th anniversary next week with an expanded menu of activities, especially at Vergennes Union High School.
There, a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter is set to land at 10 a.m., after which that aircraft and National Guard equipment will be on display at VUHS most of Saturday, Aug. 26 — Vergennes Day. Guard personnel will also set up an inflatable obstacle course behind the high school.
Organizer Marguerite Senecal said the obstacle course is weather-dependent, as are two hot-air balloon launches (one at 6 a.m. and another at 6 p.m.) scheduled for VUHS. There also remains a chance the helicopter won't show up if there is a military emergency.

A British culinary institution loved by expat Poms is disappearing from Kiwi shelves after a legal row over the name.
Supplies of Weetabix, long regarded as a staple of the British breakfast, are running out after Sanitarium wrote to the manufacturers saying it had New Zealand copyright on the terms Weetabix and Weet-Bix.
Sanitarium spokeswoman Kim Stirling said importing Weetabix to New Zealand was a trademark infringement on the company's brand.
"We're quite a big brand in New Zealand and they're quite a big brand in the UK. We feel it's quite an important thing just because we've built up the intellectual property [of Weet-Bix] here."
Sanitarium has been trading in New Zealand since 1900 and started making Weet-Bix in 1932.
Weetabix was introduced to Britain by two South Africans who formed the Weetabix Food Company in 1932. The company declined to comment.
Update 8 August 2011: John Baskerville Bagnall, Arthur Shannon's nephew, enters the feay in favour of his uncle as Wett-Bix originator with a lengthy page on the story, here.
There is utter confusion in a string of entries in Timespanner: A journey through Avondale, Auckland and NZ history. It reproduces an article said to be from the Auckland Sun, 21 December 1921 – note the date! The article has Weet-Bix as a New Zealand product, invented 2 or 3 years ago, i.e. 1918 or 1919. The truth is that the Auckland Sun was only published for a short period from 1927 to 1930, after which it was incorporated into the Auckland Star. So, the article in the Auckland Sun cannot have been published in 1921 and Weet-Bix was not a New Zealand creation.I agree. I reckon I mis-recorded the date on the article copy as 1927, not 1921. The earliest Weet-bix competitions here in NZ seems to be from late 1926. But, for such a simple brekky food -- the story does seem to have a lot of convolutions. I hope Mr. Bagnall has updated that Wiki page and made corrections!
But why did the article I found refer to Weet-bix as a "New Zealand concern"? Ah, well, at least more information has been brought to light.

Dolly on new video on CMT
There it was one hour and twenty minutes into CMTs 5 hour block I haven't seen a Dolly video on CMT or GAC for the longest time so, I made a bet with myself a while back if I ever see another Dolly Parton video on I would stop what I was doing at the time no matter what it was and dress up like Dolly, we'll lets just say it was interesting, dressing up so early and I did it all the long blond wig, all the make up, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, eyeshadow, bright red lipstick wth a light clear coat on top so it looks just like Dolly, lucky my toes were done two nights before bright red of course, so the only thing I was missing was the two inch long red nails so I had to wait until the nail salons opened up so I waited around got my nails done, and headed out went to get a bite to eat, you should have seen the looks I got, its like the never seen a guy dressed up like Dolly Parton, I didn't explain my bet to them, after went to the mall, and about 10 hours later, yes 10+ hours in six inch open toed, of course open toed so every one can see my fabulous red toe nails, but back to 10 hours in heels ouch! I am once again glad to see Dolly on TV even though I have to do this every time its worth it for the one we all love Dolly!!!!!!!!!(by the way this was on Sat.3/14)

Fire Restrictions Lifted at Mount Rushmore
KEYSTONE, S.D. (AP) - Fire restrictions have been lifted at Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota.
Superintendent Cheryl Schreier says recent moisture in the central and southern Black Hills has reduced the fire danger to "moderate." That means wildfires can still start but normally can be contained.
Visitors still are urged to use caution, especially on windy days or when hiking or climbing in backcountry areas.

And still no smart-assed Tweets from David Frum mocking the idea that many Americans use guns in self defense?
A 72-year-old homeowner immediately retrieved his handgun when he heard several home intruders attempting to gain entry to his Las Vegas residence early Monday morning. And when the criminals entered his bedroom, he opened fire, killing one of the suspects and sending the rest fleeing, KLAS-TV reports.
"Several intruders, had gotten into the home, entered his bedroom and he fired at least one shot, and they fled," Metro Police Officer Bill Cassell said. "It is unusual, first of all, to have multiple people burglarizing a residence, especially when they are carrying weapons."
When police eventually arrived at the Las Vegas home, they found one of the intruders trying to escape in a car. The car hit a patrol car and then the suspect attempted to flee on foot, however, police were able to take the man into custody.
A second suspect, described as a Latin male, was last seen running from the neighborhood where the attempted robbery took place. He remains at large. Police found a third male, armed with a handgun, dead in the homeowner's backyard. The cause of death was determined to be a gunshot wound.
Glad this did not happen in David Frum's America

hey all
this is the next eventcoming up through chch trackdays. im not getting paid to do this plug, i just think with a few cars getting finished/ wof'd........ recently we could take advantage of not having to hire the track ourselves, it seems pricey but after the first run you stop caring. and its $2k to get ruapuna for a day.
i went out and had fun last time out and the wednesdays tend to only get around 25-30 cars. good for finding out what "that rattle" is /finding out handling issues. all that fun stuff.
its run in 3-4 groups and 10min timeslots with a warm up lap and a warm down lap. bit short imo but its all in good fun.
REQUIREMENTS......that i can remember......itl be on the website surely. Here
$110 and sign a waiver form so if you go down in flames after hitting a wall or something they dont get in trouble. this can be paid on the day like i did incase weather was shit. read/google website probably for proper stuff.
some fuel
cotton overalls
fire extinguisher bolted somewhere in cabin. (i didnt have this last time, they were understanding/1 off chance as i said the car absorbs moisture faster than the average car, but still, safety first etc)
battery bolted down
overtake on straights only
drifting is a no no (leafsprung cars are forgiven to a degree)
dont leak fuel ......
you do NOT require a wof, it is however up to the organisers descretion, maybe ring them or something. no drilled bungs etc like bikes need. just dont be leaking anything basically and have brakes that work.
first in first serve for garages along pitlane, they are free.
first run at 9am and final run at 4.30ish.
anything else google the website, this is a vague idea based on memory.

Reviewed by AA (age 8) and BD (age 7)
We liked this book because it has a lot of detail, which helped us understand what the book is about. If it didn't have pictures, we would not understand what the story was about. We loved the illustrations because they look real. Our favorite part was when the boy found out what happened to the puppy, because it was really cute.
We think that kids who like animals would like to read this book because it has a lot of characters, and some of them are a puppy, a hamster, and a gerbil. Second graders could easily read this book, but younger students might want their teacher to read it to them. Adults would also like this book because it has a lot of illustrations, and they could read it to their kids.

Tailgate Hinges & Related at 1A Auto
What are Tailgate Hinges and where are they Located?
Tailgate hinges are the pivot point on which your truck or SUV's tailgate rotates when being opened and closed. They are found at the bottom of the tailgate, at the back of the vehicle. The hinge will consist of two parts, one connected to the frame of the truck bed and one connected to the tailgate itself. One side will fit into the other and move within it. In this way, it holds the tailgate in place while allowing it to open and close when loading or unloading cargo. If your vehicle has an upper glass liftgate, the liftgate will have its own hinges mounted at the top of the glass.
How do I Know if my Tailgate Hinges Need to be Replaced?
Since they are almost always exposed to the elements, these hinges have a tendency to rust out, bind up, or elongate from use. Dirt or moisture can corrode the hinges or they can simply wear out and become loose from the weight of the tailgate. Loose hinges might make your tailgate or liftgate rattle as you're driving down bumpy roads. In a worst case scenario, a worn tailgate hinge could eventually give way and let the tailgate open up. This is bad news for your cargo and worse for anyone with the bad luck to be driving behind you.
Conversely, a rusty or dirty tailgate hinge may become stuck, making it difficult to open the tailgate. This is less of a danger than a loose tailgate hinge, but could still be a major annoyance.
Can I Replace a Tailgate Hinge Myself?
Replacing the tailgate hinges won't prove too complicated, but it is a job that's easier to do with the help of an assistant. You will have to remove the tailgate. It may help to have an assistant hold it up as you disconnect it, or you will have to find some way to prop it up. The same will be true of putting it back on. Once the tailgate is off the truck, replacing the hinges is a simple matter of unscrewing them from either side of the tailgate and from either side of the truck bed, and screwing on the new parts.
Need Replacement Tailgate Hinges?
A properly working tailgate is heavily dependent upon the condition of the tailgate hinges; if these have failed, the ability to raise and lower the tailgate will be compromised. Worse yet, it is also a disaster waiting to happen as it is possible for your tailgate to open up while driving with cargo in tow. This would not be a good outcome for your cargo, or for anyone who happens to be behind your vehicle, so get those hinges replaced immediately. If you are in need of replacing rusted, rotted, or missing tailgate hinges, then you have come to the right place! At 1A Auto, we carry a large selection of aftermarket tailgate hinges for many makes and models, and at great prices. Get your truck or SUV's tailgate back in working order and get your replacement hinges today!
At 1A Auto, we make shopping for replacement tailgate hinges for your truck or SUV easy - we're here to help you select the right part for your vehicle! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our aftermarket tailgate hinges, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.

While there are so many great chocolatiers to choose from, we celebrate those who brought a new vision to the industry either in recipe development, decorating techniques or production techniques. Their contribution is now a best practice or common product. For example Norman Love was the first to use color on chocolate and look where that has gone - with many chocolatiers expanding on his techniques.
The following chocolatiers are considered to be innovators in the artisanal chocolate industry:
