Very useful information and very easy to read.
Thank you very much.
Gianyar Regency is located at central Bali , with Ubud as one of the district in Gianyar regency became a famoust tourist destination in the world. Until the fourteen century Bali was ruled Bali by the Warmadewa dynasty. The Buddhist ruling kingdoms is centralized in Bedulu, five kilometres west of Gianyar town. After Javanese conquered Bali the capital move to Samprangan, north of the present Gianyar town before it moved again to Gelgel and Klungkung in the east. During the Dutch conquering in early nineteen hundreds, Gianyar was rebuilt.
Are famous with its spectacular Barong and Keris dance. At least there are four stages setup for regular Barong and keris dances within this stone carving village. There are hundreds or maybe even thousands of stone carving are offered in the workshops along the village to the local or foreign consumers. The price of the stone carving maybe not the biggest consideration for foreign consumers but the shipment cost will.Celuk
The center of silver and gold making. A minutes stop to see how the process of silver by talent Balinese man and woman create a beautiful and unique style of this part. Celuk just located next from Singapdu, Batubulan.Goa Gajah
Literally means 'Elephant Cave". Although named by 'elephant' it doesn't mean there is any real elephant live or ever live here. The name Goa Gajah derived from 'Lwa Gajah' which is mentioned in the manuscripts found in this site. This temple complex was built for the first time around 11 century based on epigraph found in this site.A seven-metre deep cave with a shape of T-letter is the major attraction of this Bedulu village's local temple. The cave it self is carved in a solid stone hill of the river valley. The main figure of the carving at the cave entrance is 'boma', a barong face, accompanied with big clapping fingers on its side. Leaf, flower, and some horror figures can be noticed if you give more attention look to the rest of the carving. Some holes that are considered to be used as meditation or sleeping quarters can be found in the wall of the cave. Nowdays, those holes are used to placed offerings whenever there is ceremonies taking place.
On the left end side of the cave is Ganesha statue, believe it as 'the God of knowledge'. Meanwhile on the right end side can be found three 'linggas', that each of them dedicated to the three common God manifestations in Bali, Brahma, Wisnu, and Siwa. There are other three stone carvings in the centre wall, one of them figuring head and face.
Three other statues of Ganesha, demons and Men Brayut, a legendary lady with her beloved children, are placed on a high building located on the left side of cave entrance. It is considered that these statues are 1000 years old. In the middle of the complex, in front of the cave, there is bathing place that is not any longer used by the local people. The angle figures within the bathing complex are about similar to common figures found in India.
On the south part of the complex, there are along flight of step leads down the lower part of the valley. After crossing a bridge above a small creek and follow another flight of steps up to eastern side of the valley, a headless sitting Buddha
Gunung Kawi Tampaksiring
An archaeological complex lies on gorge of Pakerisan River. To reach the complex visitors must walk about 600 metres from the parking area to the ticket counter than walked down on 315 stone steps. Before take a cross on the bridge at the bottom of the valley make a turn to the left to see the first stone monument. Another group of stone monument is located on the left side of the main temple across of the river.The monuments are hewn in relief on a solid rock hill commonly call candi. There are shaped like burial towers found all over Central and East Java. However, there are many theories telling identity of the royal personages honoured here. One very credible theory suggests the five 'candi' in the main group were built for King Udayana, his Javanese queen Gunapriya, his concubine, his illustrious eldest son Airlangga who ruled over East Java, and his youngest son Anak Wungsu. Reigning over Bali from AD 1050 to 1077, Anak Wungsu is believed to have given up his kingdom to become a religious hermit.
In the right of the main ensemble of temples is a cloister with five cells carved out of rock. The cloister inmates most likely were caretakers of the 'candi'. There's a second hermitage near the main cloister, consisting of niches around a central courtyard, which might have served as sleeping quarters for visiting pilgrims. To get into this part of the temple visitors must take of their shoes.
Should you have a spare time, a walk up north of the temple complex could be a short nice walking along the rice field and river stream. The path leads to a small waterfall after 800 meters away and about 1,5 kilometers to Mengening Temple.
Gunung Kawi Sebatu
This temple differs to Gunung Kawi Temple nor Tirta Empul Temple in Tampaksiring, even though they are not located very far away to each other. Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple is located northwest of the other two temples in a village of Sebatu, 40 kilometres from Denpasar or only 20 minutes drive north of Ubud. Sebatu Village is also known for the creativity of the villagers in creating woodcarving and handicraft as seen in all the shop along the villageMas
Well known for special quality of wood carving and other handicrafts. The football field and the big banyan tree within the village notes the center of Mas village. However, since it become a known tourist stop for fine wood carving, galleries and workshop building are stretched starting from intersection of Sakah, where a huge baby statue stand in the middle, until another intersection up north at Teges Village. Small lanes on the left or right side of the main road are the houses of the woodcarvers and mask makers. Visitors can enter any houses with sign at front gates to see the artist at work and get a better price than the galleries on the main road.Peliatan
Many Bali's most gamelan orchestra and dancing groups inhibit the village that located 2 kilometres east of Ubud town. The groups have performed in many Western countries. It is also the origin of one kind of Legong dance.Petulu Village
A white heron village located in the north of Ubud. The best time to visit this natural bird sanctuary is around 5 to 6 PM when the sacred birds flew back home after a day of ill or fish hunting.Sukawati
It is known for its art market that become 'a must see' place by tourists especially the local ones from Jakarta or other area in Java. Huge number of small stalls occupied the two stories building offer a lot of cheap souvenirs. Almost any kind of Bali's souvenirs can be found in here either painting, woodcarving, clothes, temple umbrellas and other temple accessories, leather puppet, wind chime, jewelleries and others. It is better for you to prepare a list of souvenirs that you want to bring back home since you may be stuck in a confusion situation of too overwhelmed by the huge quantity of souvenirs and finally bring home nothing.Two hundred metres toward west from the Sukawati Art Market, on the right side of the road, there is another market called 'Pasar Seni Pagi' of 'The morning Art Market' which only open very early in the morning until around 7 AM. The crowd of souvenirs retailers from other part of Bali will come here to get semi-finished product with a very low price.
Many of Bali's most established puppeteers live in Sukawati. In line with this fact, Sukawati is also the center of Shadow puppets production center. The leather puppet, 'wayang kulit' are made either of cow or buffalo hide.
Bona Village
One time in 1980s Bona village is the most well known place to see the Kecak and Fire. Now, it is more known for its bamboo furniture and handicraft, together with the nearby Belega village.Tegalalang
And endless handicraft stalls located about 20 kilometers along the main road of this district. The craftsmen are too creative as they can make almost any thing that tourist have in mind with various art materials.Ubud's Monkey Forest
Inhibited by up to 125 monkeys divided into 3 major groups. Comparing other sanctuaries in Bali, the mammals in here are tame. There are three local temples settle within the sacred sanctuary.The Pejeng Area
The finding of many archeological sites within and beyond this area become one of the reason for the local government to built an archeological museum on the southern part of the village. Two most visited sites by tourist are Pura Penataran Sasih, the temple of a moon faced bronze drum, and Pura Kebo Edan, the temple of three meters high ancient stone statue.Tirta Empul
Tampaksiring is the name of a small village 36 Km from Denpasar on the road to Kintamani. The temple Pura Tirta Empul, bequeathed to the people by ancient Rajadom, is perhaps the most fascinating spot in the area. On the west side of this temple, high on the hill, can be found a Presidential palace that was built during Sukarno's time. The name " Tirta Empul" derives from large spring in the centre of the temple "Tirta" means holy water and "Tirta Empul" is holy spring water. This water originates from the Pakerisan river to the East of the temple, that flows through the entire valleys past relies of ancient time. The temple was built around 960 AD, during the rule of Raja Candra Bhayasingha from the Warmadewa dynasty. Conforming with the structure of most Balinese temple, it is devided into three main court yard, the middle, and the inner sanctum.Backing the outer courtyard can be found two rectangular pools, each fed by a line of 15 fountains. Stretching from East to West and to the south. Each fountain has its own name and function according to tradition. For example there is fountain for spiritual purification, another for cleansing from evils, another supposed to be an antidote for poison. The "Pancoran Cetik" or "Fountain for poison" is connected to the mytological battle between Mayadanawa raja Batu Anyar, of Bedahulu, and Bhatara Indra. In the ancient tale the Raja Mayadanawa was such a tyrant he forbade the people to carry out their religiond ceremonies the request the blessing of God. The gods heard about this tyranny, and led by Indra they attacked Mayadanawa. In the end lost the battle and ran away to hide in the forest to the north of the village of Tampaksiring. With his magic powers, created a spring of poison, which caused many deaths amongst Indra's troops who drank from the spring. In fury Bhatara Indra drove his spear into the ground at the poin where the spring was bubbling up, rerouting it to come out through the centre of Tirta Empul. This holy water was used to splash upon the afflicted Gods and revive them from the grasps of death. This mythology is possible connected to the influence of the Majapahit Kingdom of East Java. The expedition of Patih (Minister) Gajah Mada and members of the Majapahit court to Bali in 1343 is symbolized as Bhatara Indra, and the Evil Raja Mayadanawa as Bhatara Sri Astasura Bhumi Bante. According to the belief of the Balinese people this myth is also connected to the Galungan holy dart that is celebrated every 6 moths (210 days) according to the Balinese calendar, on a day known as 'Hari Rebo Keliwon Wuku Dungulan".
Attributed by its natural and cultural atmosphere, Ubud has attracted many foreigners to visit or even live in this artisan's village since 1930's. Many expatriates especially foreign or local artists fall in love and decide to settle in this international village. The achievement of Ubud as a tourist destination cannot be separated from the effort of those artists who display Ubud to the world through their work.Its location in the central of Bali makes Ubud become a good base for visitors to visit other places all over Bali. Nusa Dua, Kintamani, Lovina, Amed or Jembrana can be reach by just doing a day tour without so much tiring of driving. Many beautiful landscapes, interesting historical sites and not to mentioned art villages can easily reach even by walking.
Ayung river that stretch on the west part of Ubud offer a fascinating view of river gorge is the spot of several most luxurious hotels on the island. Attracted by the beauty of river valley at least five rafting companies run their trip on this part of the Bali's longest river. Other river hill that used as hotel nest are Campuhan river in the middle and Petanu on the eastern part. Most tourist accommodation are located in the center of Ubud. The center would be noted by former Ubud palace that is located across the art and traditional market of Ubud. The accommodation available suit to any budget and most of them will offer you a stay at charming cottages or a stay within a family house.
Instead of visiting it on the daily sightseeing tour, the best way to get the real atmosphere of Ubud is by spending couple of night within the area. Besides regularly dancing performance or permanent art exhibition on many fine art galleries, there are dozen of things can be explored. People preparing ceremonies, temple festivals, colourful celebration, dance, and traditional 'gamelan' rehearsals, occasional cremation are rarely unseen. It is not surprising anymore if you see foreigners in their complete Balinese dress involve in these local activities. There are some courses of Balinese dance and music, cooking classes, wood carving, mask making, batik painting or even learn the skill to be puppet masters are available for those who eager to have some of the local skills.

Both captivating in its revealing acknowledgement of spiritual warfare and readily accessible as a resource for churches, this book provides the biblical theology of the city and offers direction and support for urban missions.
Download - Audio, Unabridged$24.99
Why is the city a battleground of hostile principalities and powers? What is the mission of the church in the city? How can the church be supported in accomplishing that mission? These are the questions that Robert Linthicum treats in his comprehensive and probing biblical theology of the city. In the Bible the city is depicted both as a dwelling place of God and his people and as a center of power for Satan and his minions. The city is one primary stage on which the drama of salvation is played out. And that is no less the case at the end of this pivotal century as megacities become the focal point of most human activity and aspirations around the world. This is a timely theology of the city that weaves the theological images of the Bible and the social realities of the contemporary world into a revealing tapestry of truths about the urban experience. Its purpose is to define clearly the mission of the church in the midst of the urban realities and to support well the work of the church in the urban world.

Wellington's diverse and traditionally transient population, of more than 300,000, consists of an eclectic mix of colourful suburbanites and chic inner-city apartment dwellers. Many of the central and city-fringe suburbs were rejuvenated in the 1990s. This period of rejuvenation created a vibrancy and positive spirit that is reflected in the region.
Courtenay Place
Courtenay Place is the center of local theatrical activity and the favored destination for those seeking entertainment into the small hours. Restaurants, cafes, wine bars and pubs line both sides of this long, wide strip. A good spread of ethnic tastes is evident in their many and varied menus.
Cuba Street
For the young urban dweller, Cuba Street and Manners Mall are the locations of choice in which to see and be seen. Street theatre and busking are common, especially during the Fringe Festival and the Wellington Festival of the Arts . This area also boasts innovative sculptures and water features that impart a colorful sense of creativity. Contributing further to this vibrant atmosphere is the phenomenal concentration of cafes on Cuba Street. There is something to suit every mood and palate!
The Golden Mile
For the sophisticated shopper, Wellington's so-called "Golden Mile" shopping district provides endless opportunities for spending. The entire length of Lambton Quay and the Willis Street area is home to a number of shopping malls. Some of the more popular ones include Lambton Square , Capital on the Quay , the BNZ Centre and the tasteful Old Bank Arcade . You will find Wellington's answer to Harrod's, Kirkcaldie & Stains , on Lambton Quay as well.
There are plenty of eating options here too, including the always crowded Caffe Astoria and Paris Watch out for the suit brigade as you pound the pavements, particularly between noon and 2pm when the surrounding office blocks, affectionately known as Wellington's filing cabinets, empty their drawers for lunch.
Civic Square
Civic Square was developed in the early 1990s and forms a natural boundary between the Cuba Street and Lambton Quay shopping precincts. A marvelous open area that incorporates clever landscaping, it is popular with the lunch time crowds in summer and is a regular venue for outdoor festivals and markets. Also, the square is surrounded by cultural institutions. These include the Wellington City Library , the City Gallery and the Wellington Festival and Convention Centre that incorporates the Town Hall and Michael Fowler Centre. The nearby waterfront is easily accessible from the square via the architecturally designed City to Sea Bridge .
Wellington's waterfront is one of the most accessible in the country—cycle paths and numerous parks span the full length of the inner-city harbor from Queen's Wharf to Oriental Parade . The area is a popular weekend destination for families and young people with activities and attractions to cater for all interests. Museum buffs are spoilt for choice—the Wellington Museum of City & Sea reopened in the late 1990s on Queen's Wharf. There is also the jewel in the museum crown, the majestic Te Papa Tongarewa that gracefully stands on the water's edge. A fantastic way to enjoy this area is on skates or by kayak, both forms of transport can be hired from Ferg's Rock 'n' Kayak . If you are fancy a meal or drink while enjoying a waterside jaunt both Dockside and Shed 5 have excellent reputations.
Mt Victoria & Oriental Bay
Mt Victoria's colorful Victorian villas present a picture of island elegance perched precariously on the edge of this bush-clad hillside. The city's hilly terrain, unfamiliar to the original surveyors, has resulted in some eccentric yet delightful streetscapes. Keep an eye out for footpaths that are, in fact, narrow-winding streets, and for private cable cars that provide access to some of the more remote hilltop homes. The Southern Walkway rambles through the bush to emerge at the top of Mt Victoria for spectacular 360-degree views of the city. At its foot, tree-lined streets frame the pleasant inner-city suburbs of Mt Victoria and Oriental Bay . Several excellent guest houses can be found here including Dunrobin House , as can some of the finest restaurants that are subtly located in nooks and crannies throughout the area. Try the Roxburgh Bistro , or for something a little different Theo's Greek Taverna . The award-winning Parade Cafe is a popular place for brunch, particularly with bathers that swim at the adjacent Freyberg Pool .
A quaint mix of old and new characterises this up-market inner-city suburb. One of the oldest areas of the city, it was divided by a motorway extension in the 1970s that ripped through the middle of the Bolton Street Cemetery . Although the motorway has changed the landscape, the colonial charm of Thordon survives in the narrow backstreets that can be explored on foot. Ascot Street and Sydney Street West are two streets that provide the finest examples of colonial cottages but there are numerous other architectural gems to be found along the main suburban axis, Tinakori Road.
Historic Thorndon is rich in architectural and cultural attractions. Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace can be visited on Tinakori Road and the magnificent Old St Paul's should not be missed. Do not confuse it with its newer and larger neighbor, St Paul's Cathedral .
Just across the water from the city center lies the pleasant waterside settlement of Eastbourne—it is only a short crossing by ferry. Days Bay is a popular destination for families and sun seekers in summer. This area is also conveniently located near several excellent reserves and walking areas including Butterfly Creek and the Pencarrow Lighthouse . The unrestricted views from the lighthouse across Wellington City and the harbor entrance are truly magnificent.
As home to the New Zealand government, Wellington offers a delightful mix of tradition and modernity. Visitors will enjoy discovering its treasures.
Wellington is a small capital city by international standards but you would not necessarily guess given the outstanding choice of bars and restaurants that are squeezed into the downtown area. A vibrant assortment of ethnic and European cuisine and the local fusion fare, "Pacific Rim," cater to every taste and wallet size.
Courtenay Place
Courtenay Place is one of several distinct restaurant quarters in the city and is renowned for its lively nightlife. Restaurants, bars, theaters, cinemas and street musicians vie for attention day and night. For a superb meal treat yourself at contemporary favorite Cafe Bastille , which attracts a lively crowd who love fine food with a kiwi twist. For those who like a quirky, low light, lounge bar feel visit Castro's on Majoribanks Street. It is famous for its cocktails and original food. For a world-class menu with Pacific Rim and French provincial influences Icon at Te Papa Tongarewa has a wonderful balcony and fine sea views is unsurpassed.
If you are looking for value for money then head to the multiple Courtenay Place Turkish, Thai, Malaysian, Mexican, Indian or Chinese restaurants. Enjoy yum cha at King Wah or try the murtabak at Satay Kampong located on the restaurant-lined Allen Street. Both ensure culinary pleasure that will not break the bank. Little India on Blair Street comes highly recommended by Wellington's own galloping gourmand Des Britten. For gourmet pizza the popular One Red Dog is recommended—wash down a Thai Chili Chicken pizza with a naturally brewed beer before a show or movie.
If you want neon dance rhythms and a party then this is the district to start cruising. Check out Molly Malones , an Irish pub that has live bands playing most nights. For drinking, dancing and playing pool try The Grand or the Big Easy for late night drinking and a techno beat.
Cuba Street
The Cuba Street area is another treasure chest of eateries and the center of Wellington's alternative scene. For a taste of the variety the city has to offer in clothes, art, music and food stroll up Cuba Street and back down again. On the way, those seeking impeccable coffee and inexpensive snacks will be drawn to the popular Krazy Lounge . With its funky decor, crazy sculpture's, half moon-shaped booths and music, it attracts those who like fast, friendly, reasonably priced all-day dining. The popular Logan Brown , one of Wellington's leading restaurants, is the haunt for lovers and bankers. Located in a 1920s banking chamber it offers fine dining in elegant surroundings.
The Waterfront
Yes, Wellington is hip, it is cultured, and it is lively, but it is also a city that is dedicated to, and surrounded by, the sea. Reflecting this love for the water, many of the city's restaurants specialize in fresh local seafood. The best place to find a taste of the ocean is the waterfront. Located here is Shed 5 a stylish up-market seafood restaurant in a painstakingly restored wharf woolshed built in 1888. There is a formal dining section excellent for a business lunch or dinner, a more casual cafe, bar and alfresco seating. Next door is the popular Dockside Restaurant and Bar that provides quality seafood in a converted wooden warehouse. This spot is always crowded on Friday nights with after-work drinkers and throughout lunch hours particularly when the sun shines.
Central Business District
The central business district, with Lambton Quay and Willis Street at its heart, is popular with business people and locals. The area is not renowned for its nightlife but there is a range of quality restaurants that are especially suited to a corporate lunch or quiet dinner for two. Try Copita on Featherston Street which serves Spanish/New Zealand cuisine in classic white tablecloth surroundings or the famous Boulcott Street Bistro which mixes top of the line wine and food with an historic and relaxed ambience. Petit Lyon offers truly exclusive dining in a small two-story colonial building on upper Willis Street. Frequented by food lovers of all persuasions, this is a great place for an extra special dinner for two. It is not cheap, especially for a meal poetically titled "I must go down to the sea again." For quality daytime eating in this area, you cannot pass up the Nikau Gallery Cafe . It is attached to the City Gallery in the heart of Civic Square , one of Wellington's favorite places to relax on a fine afternoon. Alternatively there is Caffe Astoria , or Revive Sandwich & Espresso Bar or The CD Store Cafe , or Wholly Bagels or… The list could go on and on.
And that is why Wellington has become something of a haven for those who love to eat and drink well, or even just linger with friends over coffee. Some say Wellington has more restaurants, cafes and bars per capita then the sprawling metropolis of New York. It is certainly your duty, as a visitor, to meet the drinking and dining challenge that is Wellington City. It will allow you to experience, as nothing else can, some of the diversity that makes Wellington tick.
Confined by the boundaries of hills and harbor, Wellington is a compact city with a streetscape ideally suited to a pleasant day's exploration. All of the city's attractions can be reached on foot within the central city confines, however there are excellent bus routes if you prefer to travel in comfort. The City Circular Bus Route is especially recommended with stops by many of the major landmarks, running every 10 minutes through the central city.
Tour One: Walk the Waterfront
Wellington's waterfront is one of the most beautiful and accessible in New Zealand and a stroll along its fringe is a pleasant way to spend a sunny summer's afternoon. Start your walk under the sails at Queen's Wharf, a tastefully landscaped area sheltering several excellent cafes and restaurants. Nearby, Ferg's Rock 'n' Kayak hires out in-line skates and kayaks as a fun means of transport. Continuing around the inner harbor basin, you will pass Circa Theatre , one of three professional theatres in the city. Te Papa Tongarewa , Museum of New Zealand stands majestically before you round the headland. If you have time to spare, it is worth exploring the museum's excellent displays.
As you join Oriental Parade , Wellington's small boat marina and Overseas Terminal are on your left. Take a seat under the Pohutakawas (native trees) and watch the activity. If it is hot enough you may enjoy a swim at Oriental Bay or relax over a long cold lemonade at the aptly named Vista Cafe & Bar . If out with kids, Parade Cafe is a child-friendly alternative. For those who are especially keen walkers, the waterline walk can be continued as far as the Eastern suburbs.
Tour Two: Coastal Cruise
If you have access to a car, a far greater proportion of Wellington's coastline is accessible to you. Beginning your car cruise at Oriental Parade , wind your way around the foot of Mt Victoria to the Eastern suburbs. Following the coastline closely you will discover bays of individual charm and character. If it is a nice day, make sure to stop for a swim at Scorching Bay and have a coffee.
The Peninsula round trip is complete when you return to the airport. The road crosses the southern end of the runway so do not be surprised if a 747 roars in overhead.
If you have time keep following the coastline past the popular surfing beach at Lyall Bay , the colorful beachside suburb of Island Bay and on to wild Owhiro Bay . Take a break and watch the ferries that travel the Cook Strait. Alternatively, spend a couple of hours following the coastal walk to see the seals at Red Rocks . From Owhiro Bay the road climbs back through Brooklyn to the central city.
Tour Three: Political Wellington
It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but in terms of the New Zealand political scene, Wellington is where it all happens. Begin your day by scanning the local paper The Dominion over breakfast at a local cafe. Popular breakfast haunts for the city's movers and shakers are the Lido , Paris , and Caffe Astoria . Refreshed and ready for business, begin your political tour at the National Archives where the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document is held.
Returning to Lambton Quay, visit the Old Government Buildings . The first governments were run from the Northland town of Russell, but when the parliament later moved to Wellington it was housed for many years in these purpose-built wooden buildings. You can visit the inside on your own and there are many interesting photos and explanatory notes displayed. The building now houses the University's Law Faculty and the Department of Conservation information center.
Time for lunch and where better than the Backbencher Pub , famous for the political caricatures which grace its walls and for a menu based on current politicians. If you are lucky, you may even catch some of them dining here when the House is in session.
Across the road is the magnificent and newly refurbished complex of buildings which make up the current Parliament . Guided hour-long tours run throughout the day and will give you an excellent view of the interior of the complex including the Parliamentary Library, the Maori Select Committee rooms and, of course, the debating chamber.
Tour Four: Town and Gown
This walking tour will take you from the historic Thorndon Quarter at the foot of bush-clad Tinakori Hill to the lofty academic heights of Kelburn, home to Wellington's Victoria University. Beginning your walk at the base of Molesworth Street head towards Tinakori Road—on the left you will pass the majestic Parliament Buildings and the recently refurbished Wellington Cathedral of St Paul .
At the top of Molesworth Street, the Northern Motorway cuts a swathe through Wellington's oldest suburb—Thorndon. Despite its intrusion, much of the original charm has been retained and as you wander up Tinakori Road you will see the mark of colonial New Zealand in the wooden cottages and villas nestled into the hillside.
Continuing south on Tinakori Road, Thorndon Village is your next stop and provides plenty of options for dining. Tinakori Bistro is good for a long lunch and the adjacent deli for a quick bite or takeaway en route. Another option is the Shepherds Arms Cottage & Hotel for a perfect pub meal around the fire on a winter's day.
After lunch take a short detour down Ascot Street and back up Sydney Street West. These delightful 19th century streets are classic remnants of the colonial heritage. Your tour continues through the Botanic Gardens with several entrances on Glenmore Street. Climb the maze of tracks to the Carter Observatory and the peak of the hill. From here, return on foot to Lambton Quay via Kelburn Parade and Victoria University Campus or take the Cable Car , which descends to the central city in three short stops.
And if you have the time, a visit to Wellington's famous Karori Wildlife Sanctuary is well-worth the 10 minute drive. This urban sanctuary, the first of its kind, hosts an array of native flora and fauna, including New Zealand's renowned natives the kiwi and the tuatara.

In mid-2010, Brother Sister Records traveled to Nairobi, Kenya and set up a mobile recording studio in the slum township of Kibera in the offices of the Pamoja Youth Foundation. Word of the studio quickly spread amongst young local Kiberan MCs for an opportunity to lend their talents to BrotherSister's makeshift recording sessions. The recordings were then flown back to Australia and disseminated amongst Melbourne producers for the second phase of production.
The result is an astounding 12-track compilation in which dynamic Kenyan rap sub-genres such as Rocco Hip-Hop, Genge, Bongo, and Swahili-Jah are routed through a range of styles ranging from R&B, Bass, Experimental Pop to Minimal Techno. This album marks the first of a projected series aimed at remapping local audio-geographies cross a global terrain.
Artists include local dub veteran Jackie Zebraz to more raw and emerging artists, such as Madcat (a market rastaman otherwise known as Fred Odemba), X-Cute (his friend, Hilary Otiendo) and Whipstar (a dedicated local MC still at high school).
Download these great selections from the album right here on the FMA, or stream the album in its entirety here.
If you'd like to learn more about the project, be sure to check out the BSR blog, where you'll find some thoughtful reflections on the project as well as pictures of all of the artists, Kibera, and the makeshift studio.

For many, myself included, the upcoming holidays mean decorating, cleaning, shopping and entertaining. But the festive season can also motivate people to tackle maintenance and decor tasks before family and friends come to visit (read up on how to create the perfect guest room here).
In last week's poll, 13 per cent of Yourhome readers said they planned to complete some repairs around the house before the holidays, while 32 per cent said they aim to complete renovations and an ambitious 10 per cent said they would be doing both. The remaining 45 per cent said they have no pre-holiday home improvement plans.
Personally, I'll be doing some repairs — fixing things like my drippy sink, which probably should be done anyway — before I go away for the holidays, but I'll be saving any painting or other work for a less stressful time of year.
For inspiration on working to a deadline, check out our Room For Improvement series, where writer Denise Holtby and her husband are documenting their efforts to complete a full bathroom renovation in two months.
And, be sure to vote in this week's poll, which asks when you start decorating for the holidays. Do you take a cue from the shops and pin up your holly besides ghouls and goblins? Or do you wait for December to polish up the ornaments?

Detecting system changes with Dnotify
We'll show you how you can avoid the tragedy of lost files with a transparent, Perl-based version control system.
During early phases of a project, developers tend to experiment with various options, and sometimes it is too early to save prototypes in the version control system. If you haven't set up a repository, or if you haven't been able to agree on its structure, you might find yourself working without a safety net. In this case, good code might fall victim to an over-zealous rm * or your editor's delete command. This month's Perl script, noworries, can give you automatic version control. Whenever you save a file with your editor, and whenever you use the shell to manipulate files using commands like rm or mv, a daemon hidden in the background receives a message. When it does, it picks up the new or modified file, and uses RCS to version the file. All of this is transparent to the user. Figure 1 shows a user creating and then deleting a new file in the Shell. Without some Perl wizardry, the file, myfile would have been gone for good, but calling noworries -l myfile tells us that the versioner created a backup copy just 17 seconds earlier. noworries -r 1.1 myfile retrieves the file and writes its content to STDOUT.

Series: The Faith of a Great Scientist: Robert Boyle's Religious Life, Attitudes, and Vocation (8 entries)
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Evolution and Faith in Latin America, Part 2
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Francis Collins by the Book
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Belief in God in an Age of Science: John Polkinghorne, Part 4
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Science and Scientism in Biology: The Origin of Morality
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.

A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.

Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling (3 entries)
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.

Game changer
By Ian Chung The department store market and Hyundai Department Store's earnings and stock price all appear to be bottoming out. We see consumer spending and the market passing through a cyclical trough between late 2011 and early 2012. The company's first quarter and full-year earnings are forecast to beat our expectations. Hyundai Department Store will likely outshine its retail peers as its newly opened stores are normalizing quickly and an earnings forecast upgrade will follow. The share price looks primed for a breakout out from the current boxed range. Double-digit profit growth continues Earnings concerns grew in the first quarter this year due to the slowdown in the department store market, but Hyundai Department Store is forecast to register double-digit earnings growth in the quarter with sales and operating profit expanding 16.7 percent and 14.4 percent year-on-year, respectively, driven by positive contributions from stores in Ulsan (merged in the second half of 2011), Ilsan Kintex (opened in 2010) and Daegu (opened in 2011). Though the market consensus looks a bit high, investors' expectations have been lowered due to poor same store sales growth at nearly zero percent for the past two months. Pre-tax and net profits are expected to edge down in the first quarter from a year ago due to the high comparison base of the first quarter in 2011 which was boosted by one-off gains from the Hyundai Merchant Marine stake sale. Rebound expectations Amid challenging market conditions in the first quarter, Hyundai Department Store is expected to register solid numbers. Going into the second quarter, earnings will strengthen on the back of improving conditions and investor sentiment. Consumer spending and the department store business cycle are passing through the bottom. Same store growth stalled in the past couple of months, the worst showing ever except for the credit card debt crisis in 2003 and the global financial crisis in 2008. Inflation is moderating, fueling rebound expectations. Hyundai Department Store shows superior earnings momentum and a stronger long-term growth potential with support from newly opened stores. Sales at the Ilsan Kintex and the Daegu stores are picking up rapidly. The Ilsan Kintex store is estimated to have made approximately 7 to 10 billion won in operating profits last year, less than a year after its opening. That is an impressive feat because it typically takes two to three years for a new department store to turn a profit. The Daegu store is also seen churning out a quarterly profit. The combined department store sales floor space is projected to expand more than 80 percent by 2016 with continued store openings and renewals. With inflation and consumer preferences for department store shopping taken into account, we forecast sales and operating profit will double by 2016 from 2010 levels. The Chungcheong store, to be opened in August 2012, will add another chapter to Hyundai Department Store's growth history, and the completion of the Korea World Trade Center (KWTC) store renewal in October this year is another reason why the company deserves a growth premium. The KWTC store is the most efficient money maker for Hyundai Department Store. 2012 forecast upgrades We are revising up our 2012 earnings forecast to reflect a market recovery and faster-than-expected sales normalization at new stores. Sales estimates are little changed, but operating profit and earnings per share forecasts are revised up by 2.8 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively. Much of the increase comes from new stores. Previously, we had forecast the Daegu store would just about break even in 2012, but we now see it making 20 billion won in operating profit. Profit growth at the Ilsan store, KWTC store renewal effects and a further Hyundai Merchant Marine stake sale could provide an added boost to earnings. Following Hyundai Department Store's first quarter earnings release, forecast upgrades by more analysts will follow. Ian Chung is a retail analyst at Daishin Securities. |

Thea Mediterranean Cuisine
Online Reservations
I have reviewed this before. I like this restaurant very much. The food is great, the portions generous, and it is a wonderful airy atmosphere.
Thea's is always a fun place for group dining. The food and ambiance are great! Went out with girlfriends and ordered a lot! We particularly like the Dates wrapped in bacon and the Scallops dish. We definitely will be returning! Thanks for a wonderful evening!
The food and service was great! Loved it for the second time. Well worth going. Two things caught me offguard: 1) Someone in the party had a b'day and we told the waitress and although we got a candle on a desert, we were charged for it. Also, we were charged $6 for a hot tea which was luke warm and $8 for a not-so tasty double expresso. The "cheap" nature of the management put a damper on an otherwise wonderful experience.
One of my favorite places to go for lunch in Santana Row. I especially enjoy the sampler platter although I have learned to order extra pita as the order never seems to have enough to share. I've had most of the items on the menu, and all are good. When I've had a complaint about my order it has been dealt with in a professional manner. Love it.
This place is so vibrant on Friday nights...the halibut and the calamari were both succulent!!
Excellent service. Great food but limited bar for mixed drinks.
Went here for lunch with a friend I haven't seen for years. The server spoiled us with great service. She didn't rush us to leave the table, gave us signals to use when we needed her so she wouldn't interrupt our reunion, and gave helpful insight into the menu. The food was mouth-watering delicious. Grilled salmon was perfectly done--moist with a subtle, delicious sauce. The noise level was quiet enough that we could hear our conversation, I love that. Will most definitely be going back.
Delicious food and super friendly service. The room is bright and nicely decorated. But what makes it a real gem is that you can hear each other talk.
Great lamb mixed grill prepared in a very palatable way & tapas sampler was more than what you asked for, a total surprise!
Given the outdated reviews of Thea, I was skeptical about our upcoming dining experience. As usual, I'm glad we didn't pay any attention to those review. The restaruant has a great atmosphere, is nicely decorated and clean, and the wait staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was varied and delicious. The belly dancer was cute and entertaining. All in all, it was a fun evening & we're sure to return to Thea for another fun filled evening.
This is the 2nd time that my coworkers and I had a small gathering here for a special occasion. There were 13 of us this time for happy hour and appetizers. The manager was so accommodating and attentive. He even ran across the street to get tomato juice for someone's Bloody Mary drink order and apologized for taking so long. The appetizer assortment was so delicious--the sampler platter was a perfect way to satisfy the cravings of so many different palates. The drinks were on the pricey side considering that some were nonalcoholic but the happy hour drinks were a good deal and very yummy. I would definitely return, whether it was for a lunch with a friend or another special get together.
Our waitress, Michaela, was most helpful and fun. We've eaten at Thea's a few times and the food is always good. Love the atmosphere and the staff. I think this is a good place to celebrate a special occasion.
We went to this restaurant at 6:30pm because there was supposed to be outdoor jazz musicians from 6:30-8:00pm; however, they didn't start playing until after 7:30pm…sadly, we only heard one song. Sitting outside is always nice, but their location on Santana Row is not on the main street. Rather, it is on a side street with a lot of car traffic…so outdoor seating wasn't so quaint. The food was very good as well as the service. I will go back because the food was very good…but next time I won't plan around music and I'll just sit inside and see what the interior atmosphere is like.
Thea does Greek food very well. They have a wide variety and continually update the menu. We go there early (6 pm) so it is never very noisy until about the time we leave.
For the most part this is a very consistent restaurant and they have lovely meals. The filet is especially good. However, this particular evening the Baklava was pretty terrible ... normally it is terrific so it was a disappointing end to an overall great meal.
We were not told that food that we ordering is very spicy to the level that I could not eat it. It was not marked on the menu as spicy. Regardless, I have to admit that waitress offered to me to replace my plate. It would be nice to know how spicy is food before ordering it. When we ordered second dish, knowing how spicy it is we asked not to add any spices. The food was absolutely fantastic and very tasty. I know what to order next time if we will visit this place again. We ordered glass of wine, but we were not shown a bottle to make sure that what we ordered and paid for is actually what we were drinking. For the price and location of the restaurant this is a BIG mistake.
The food and wine choices are very good. We really liked the outdoor eating, but found the the restaurant to be slightly overpriced.
Loved both the flaming cheese appetizer and really lived the scallop entree. It was perfectly seared, and delicious.
We ate early on a Sunday night. Place was not crowded so service was superb and noise level non-existent. I had the mousaka dish, which was delicious. My husband had the lamb shank but was extremely disappointed. Said he'd not order it again - a lot of fat with very little meat for a lofty price! Love the high ceilings and lots of light through large window areas. Food a bit pricey but we went for the ambiance with out-of-town guests whom we wanted to impress. Not a place I'd go very often, though, as its more pricey than the places I generally frequent.
This is the 2nd time I visited Thea and as with the 1st visit, the service and food was great. They were very helpful in helping us choose our meals and the service was perfect. Nice outdoor seating for when the weather cooperates. I highly recommend Thea.
Jessica was our server and has been there for two years. Excellent food service and hospitality. I found her friendly, knowlegeable, and went out of her way to accommodate us with some special requests. Food was served promtly and nice taste and presence.
We've always had great food at Thea & this experience was no different. The hubby & I shared the tzatziki appetizer (which is the best tzatziki ever!), the Greek Goddess salad (my very favorite!), & the sampler appetizer platter (5 or 6 bacon wrapped dates, a bunch of greek fries, 3 spanikopita, 3 falafel, 3 dolmas, & stuffed mushrooms) which was so amazing & such a great value for how much food was on it! And they have a great kids menu too (their pizzas are made on their delicious flatbread, & on this visit my son had chicken strips & fries which were tasty & fresh).
Food was good. Ambiance was really good - loved the Olive tree. Service is the definite area of improvement, especially for larger groups. Great place for a fun Friday evening t unwind with your friends. Enjoy the belly dancing while you are there...
Great food and entertainment! Drinks were great as the bartender went the extra mile in creating the drink we wanted. Also later in the evening he blew fire with the 151 bottle which was cool. I guess we left too early as I was walking past the restaurant an hour later they had a belly dancer there too. The food was good as well as we enjoyed the different dishes we tried. It was quiet at 5, but got more lively at 6pm.
Thea is always a good choice. We dove into the watermelon salad and it was yummy. The filet and the lamb were delicious too. The bread and dip they serve was so good that we asked to take the last slice home with us and they gave us a whole other loaf - so dang good the day after too!
I had a business dinner here with 5 guests. We had the two appetizer samplers (tapas and hummus). Both were great. Both were perfect for a party of 5. I had the fish special with eggplant. I would recommend this! Our server was a lovely woman with a fantastic accent. We dined on Thursday night and the restaurant was not full. I gave the noise level a moderate rating, however, it is possible it could be energetic if the restaurant was filled to capacity. The ambiance was very nice. I loved the high ceilings. I will go back there again!
Wonderful: Hummus, The Greek Emerald, the chicken dish, our waitress Awkward: Belly dancer while we were eating, a waitress (not ours) being groped while drinking in the back of the house, the Red Sox game playing during a romantic evening with loud high fives in the bar
The service was excellent , and the belly dancer made my night out fun and special. I thought the food was just ok. Like the ambiance , although could be cold at times . Kid friendly and nice decor. The belly dancer and service is what would make me want to return. The fried items seemed greasy., so I would avoid them next time.
Best part of this romantic restaurant was BELLY DANCE PERFORMANCE by Maria! She was very beautiful, talented, friendly, and she made our night very memorable and special. Thank you!
Food is great. Service is perfect. Mihala was friendly, informative, helpful, and there when needed. Since the call themselves a Greek restaurant, you would think that they would have some decent Greek wines; all their competitors do.

Philadelphia Flyers Schedule |
Another season of Philadelphia Flyers hockey is upon us and tickets are going fast. The team got off to a rough start and fired Peter Laviolette and assistant coach Kevin McCarthy just three games into the season and replaced them with assistant coach Craig Berube. Berube is going to have his hands full with the roster in 2013, and the team needs your support! Berube will rely on Fly Guys Captain Claude Giroux to keep the team motivated. The starting rotation of center Claude Giroux, leftwing Scott Hatnell and rightwing Jakub Voracek is going to be tought to beat. The Wells Fargo Center is going to be nuts when the Fly Guys take the ice, so make sure you get out there! Get your tickets now and cheer the Philadelphia Flyers on to victory! On defense Kimmo Timonen and Braydon Coburn are going to be counted on to help keep games manageable. Goaltender Ray Emery has to step it up to keep the Flyers in the game. With Ray Emery as well as Kimmo Timonen and Braydon Coburn stopping the opposition from scoring, Philadelphia hockey should be in good shape this season. Don't delay, get your Philadelphia Flyers tickets now and see all the action in person. Playing in the Eastern Conference's new-look Atlantic Division won't be easy, so the Flyers need to be ready. Rivals the New York Rangers is always a big game. Don't pass up a chance to watch the Flyers vs New York Rangers game so get your tickets early. And in the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia hockey has another tough opponent. No off days on the Philadelphia Flyers schedule, so find the game you want to see! The Flyers have a well rounded team so they should be able to hang with anyone in the league. The team's strength is its ability to score, so it should be a thrilling game night in and night out in Flyerland. The one concern is the defense, which allowed a ton of goals last year. If the defense can step it up a bit and goalie Michael Leighton can keep the puck out of the net, it could be a long game for whoever is playing the Flyers. If all else fails, the Flyers can just go nuts and score score score, however you need defense to win in the post season. Regular or post-season, we've got all you need for NHL tickets right here on TL. You don't want to miss the Flyers take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, as both team look to prove they are Pennsylvania's best. These matchups are always some of the most exiting games of the year, and this season promises to be more of the same. Flyers vs NY Rangers tickets will also be a hot item, as both teams look to have good teams and will be looking to pummel whoever gets in their way. Flyers info:

Yale Journal of Biology & Medicine
Research and clinical ethics raise many questions that cannot easily be answered but that provide a platform for interesting and important discussions among research scientists, clinicians, and ethicists alike. Of the many ethical themes that run through both basic and clinical research, many of which are covered in this issue, one is the ethics surrounding organ donation, which is the focus of Robey and Marcolini's paper, "Organ Donation after Acute Brain Death: Addressing Limitations of Time and Resources in the Emergency Department." The cover image depicts the donation of one of our most crucial organs: the heart. As with many issues in research and clinical ethics, organ donation may first seem free of such ethical complexities, but upon a more careful analysis, the true complexities of the situation become apparent. Original cover design by Karen Tian, Yale University.
The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine is a quarterly journal reviewed and edited by Yale biomedical faculty and students. The journal aims to showcase outstanding research articles from all areas of biology and medicine, to publish significant case reviews, and to provide both perspectives on personal experiences in medicine and reviews of the current state of biology and medicine.

12/16/1999: Move Food Aid to the Hungry in Southern Sudan |
Contact: The U. S. Commission on International Religious Freedom today decried the Sudanese government's use of food aid as a weapon of war and called on the U.S. government to take a series of actions to ensure food aid reaches all hungry people in Sudan's war-torn southern region. Civil war has raged in Sudan for more than 16 years between an Islamist regime in Khartoum and mostly Christian and animist rebels in the south, at a cost of about 2 million lives. A major cause of the war has been repeated attempts by the central government to impose Islamic law on the south. Food aid has been organized under the United Nations World Food Programme's "Operation Lifeline Sudan," but that aid has been subject to repeated Sudanese government bans on flights to distressed regions when they are under rebel control, effectively cutting off aid. Such flight bans are currently in effect. "This is clearly a war with a religious-persecution dimension," said Rabbi David Saperstein, the Commission's chairman. "The Sudanese government is deliberately starving people for religious, as well as political, military, and ethnic reasons." In order to ensure that hungry people of all religious and ethnic backgrounds get food, the Commission recommended that:
"We strongly condemn the Sudanese government's ongoing policy of politicizing food aid in the south, affecting thousands of innocent civilians," Chairman Saperstein said. "What's important is that religious persecution stop and that hungry people get the food they need."

verdict on red loctite?
thought I'd follow up here rather than start a new thread. capita sent me some binding screws that have red loctite on them. I'm a bit hesitant to use them because I've read multiple times to ONLY use blue loctite,but capita wouldnt send me bad hardware, would they? should i use these screws anyways or get new ones wihout the red?
Thanks in advance |

I'm surprised they'd put red loctite on the threads and let it dry, seems kinda useless?!? |

Dude there's no reason to need to remove it unless its gunked all over and looks bad. Itll keep them from backing out on you. The difference between Red and Blue is the red is used on screws for a more permanent bond, where as the blue will release easier. Don't sweat it though because the red removes easy enough.

well the internet said so.....
craziness. if its dry. its not even loctite anyways. because loctite uses an anaerobic reaction. so it wouldnt ever dry. i even helped with the hard part. HERE if you gooped on all over hell. than yeah you dont want it on plastics. a drop or two. so its not dripping and oozing.

Anybody who understands that there are different types of Loc-tite with different characteristics. Some of these characteristics make certain kinds of Loc-Tite not suitable for some applications - e.g., red Loc-tite to secure binding screw is generally not a a good idea.

Folks who believe that money can do anything don't have any. One day, many years ago, on Uptown Avenue, the main thoroughfare of Pace, Mississippi, a friend of mine didn't have a cent, and was certain money could do anything … especially buy him an All-Day Sucker at Peach-Eye's Grocery.
My friend's name is John Bassie. Today, he's an upstanding citizen of his hometown, but back then he had a streak in him that didn't always run parallel to the straight and narrow.
About nine years old at the time, John and his pals were meandering up and down Uptown when Billy Clyde Rakestraw, known by all as Mr. B.C., blared his truck horn, scattering them from a spot near the bank where he intended to park.
Rakestraw was a scowling, ill-tempered old farmer. Rumor had it he once was a happy, fun-loving guy until Billie Beth, his raven-haired, blue-eyed bride ran off with a city slicker.
"Bet y'all won't let the air out of one of Mr. B.C.'s tires," some older boys dared.
Instantly John shot back, "Put yo' loot where yo' lips is." Twenty-five cents sealed the wicked wager.
John peeked in the bank, saw Mr. B.C. haggling with a teller and calculated he had enough time to do the deed. The old rattletrap truck was easing down when John heard what sounded like Judgment Day thunder.
"Gotcha, you little rat!" Mr. B.C.'s vitriolic visage was so close that John could smell his chew tobacco. The quarter in his pocket weighed a ton.
As luck would have it, John's aunt Murleen happened by and, seeing her nephew dangling from the handful of shirt collar Rakestraw had hold of, screeched, "B.C., put that boy down rat now!" The old reprobate obeyed.
A small crowd materialized, gawking and whispering, and the pint-sized perpetrator agonized as Murleen and Billy Clyde stepped off a little ways to discuss his fate, their heads nodding vigorously as they came to an agreement. When the adults parted, Rakestraw did something no one had seen him do in years: He laughed.
"John, B.C.'s got a few errands to run … says you better have that tire blown back up before he returns," Auntie said.
"But I ain't got no pump," John moaned.
"Don't need one, boy," she replied, struggling to maintain her composure. "Don't you know you can blow tires up with yo' mouth?"
Directly, Rakestraw ambled back and looked down at John, on his all fours, blue in the face, puffing with all his might.
A toothless grin broke across the old man's unshaven, leathery face as he reached behind the truck seat and fetched a hand pump.
"Here, boy," he guffawed, "I ain't got time to wait all day while you blow up that tire with yo' mouth."
Sitting on Peach-Eye's front porch, John studied the ill-gotten piece of candy.
"Shoot, I can't eat this," he mumbled, handing it to one of his pals. "Reminds me of what I am … an all-day sucker."
