Chariots of Fire
This interfaith Olympic film is fondly remembered by nearly everyone who has seen it, from it's uplifting plotline to the heroic theme. The movie follows a Christian and a Jewish runner who are competing in the 1924 Summer Olympics. The two men have an interesting and competitive relationship, and the movie does an interesting job of exploring their faith along with their running. If you haven't seen it yet, then what are you waiting for?

...Avatar, according to the Vatican. Both L'Osservatore Romano and Vatacan Radio have passed critical judgement on director James Cameron's futuristic film about human attempts to colonise the fictional planet Pandora, calling it sentimental, bland and facile.
"It has a great deal of enchanting, stunning technology, but few genuine or human emotions," wrote the paper. Vatican Radio accused the film of "being a wink towards the pseudo-doctrines which have made ecology the religion of the millennium."
They're dead right. There's no question that the film, with its universe peopled by ten-feet tall blue humanoids, is visually hugely accomplished. But at its heart it's as dead as a dodo.
Avatar will be loved by those who tend to refer to themselves as Citizens of the World, the kind who take their political and cultural references from old Coca-Cola ads and their mantras about teaching the world to sing. The sort who, no longer believing in God, now believe in almost anything. And there are enough such people around; the film has taken more than a billion dollars at the box office.
You could say that this is harmless enough - that the film is just a silly bit of juvenile fantasy. But it also carries a strong whiff of naive 'anti-imperialism', i.e a good dose of self-hatred dressed up as anti-militarism. Completely predictable in a Hollywood film perhaps, but ultimately damaging to the culture that produced it.

Carrie Bickmore SLAMMED For Her Comments Last Night
Carrie Bickmore has been slammed by viewers of The Project after she called her co-host Steve Price a 'w*****' during a live broadcast on Monday.
#TheProjectTV— Wookiee (@WookieJon) August 22, 2016
Can Carrie please explain "wanker" to my kids who just heard her say it?
Way to go Carrie! 😡
The TV presenter shocked fans of the show when she hit out at the journalist when he said spending $3,000 on a truffle would 'not be a problem' for him.
One viewer said on Twitter 'Can Carrie please explain 'w*****' to my kids.''
Disappointed with the professionalism of @BickmoreCarrie calling co-host "a wanker" on air. My jaw dropped! #TheProjectTV— Lauren Ridgway (@laurenridgway) August 22, 2016
Other social media user said they were 'disappointed' in Carrie's behaviour in the the hosting seat with another saying 'my jaw dropped.''
Not a Price fan, but not impressed with Carrie calling him a wanker. #TheProjectTV— Roddlez (@Roddlez1) August 22, 2016

'@BickmoreCarrie perfectly sums up my thoughts about @StevePriceMedia - 'w*****'. Love you, Carrie,' an account published on Twitter.
Another wrote: 'LOVE LOVE LOVE when @BickmoreCarrie put 'w*****' @StevePriceMedia in his place. Hope he doesn't get #hysterical'.

COLUMBUS, Ga. - An early 9-1 lead wasn't enough, as the No. 24 Georgia College baseball team (25-11, 12-7 PBC) fell 13-9 Friday night Columbus State University (21-16, 14-7 PBC).
The Bobcats got home runs from Cody Maas (Alpharetta, Ga.) and Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) in the loss.
Georgia College picked up eight runs in the first two innings off CSU starter Zach Helewski, but would manage just one run off reliever Martin Castro (2-1) over the final seven frames, allowing just three hits.
Columbus State took the lead for good in the fourth, scoring a run each on a groundout and a single.
Maas finished 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run and while the home run was Ardeeser's lone hit, he had two RBI and a pair of runs as well. Leftfielder Rob Hogenkamp (St. Louis, Mo.) has now posted multi-hit games in each of his last three, adding a 2-for-4 effort tonight, with two doubles, an RBI and a run.
Bobcat reliever Daniel Szathmary (Suwanee, Ga.) took the loss, evening his record out at 1-1 in a four-inning stint.
The Cougar victory also gives them another point in the "Battle for the Pickle Barrel" rivalry challenge, putting them up five at 9-4.
The Bobcats are back in action tomorrow, April 12, finishing the three-game set with a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

"Flame of Divinity": A cold connections, sterling silver, fine silver, Rhyolite, fresh water pearls necklace
If you want to see the image enlarged, click on it. This piece is based on the spiritual journey of a beautiful person I met online. She said she felt she was asleep for a long time spiritually, but has awakened now. She has been having beautiful spiritual experiences...her words glide like poetry...gently...as she expresses her thoughts to me in emails. I see this piece as the flame of re-awakened spirituality or Divinity in her...burning steadily, brightly. The old, battered feel of the antiqued silver around it, cold connected with brass tubes represents her human journey so far. Often even the most gentle human journey can be quite hard on the free Spirit that is used to no limits. The fresh water pearls are wrapped up with fine silver which has not been antiqued, to represent the pure glory of the awakened soul pouring out of this steadily burning flame. The pearls have different hues of earth and gold tones....very soft and gentle...very softly divine...very pure in their feeling. This piece represents you dear Cynthia.
I still have to make the clasp. But I am leaving for the weekend...be back on Sunday and will complete it then :-).
I had this Rhyolite Cabochon with me for sometime. It looks like a perfect flame. When I saw it I loved it...it looked like the perfect flame of Divinity. Each time I had tried to pick it up, it said, "No, not now" to me. But when I heard Cynthia's story, I knew the Rhyolite was for her. This time when I picked up the Rhyolite, it did not refuse.
An interesting thing happened in the meantime. The stone disappeared while I was working with the other orders. I looked everywhere. Made my hubby look too. Finally I asked the supplier if he could cut a stone exactly like this. He did his best to help. And he did cut an excellent Rhyolite cab...only, it didn't have the flame. So then I was gong to email Cynthia and apologize that I lost her stone..when I heard very clearly within my mind to go look in my dresser. I thought, "Yeah well, I have looked. So has hubby. So many times. It wasn't there". But the voice was firm, and yet gentle that I looked once more over there before I emailed Cynthia. I thought it didn't hurt to look. So I did. And to my utter surprise...it was right there!!! Not even hidden under things. It was right there in plain sight in the middle drawer where I had looked so many times before. Hubby had looked too. We were both mystified....but I was very very very thankful!!! I guess the stone was truly meant for you Cynthia! :-)))

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. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes
Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
2. Japan Rail Pass
Only foreigners travelling in Japan as a tourist are able to use a Japan Rail Pass and that you will not receive the pass until the trip begins. If you are a Japanese citizen/resident or travelling on a student/business visa please advise us at time of booking as you will not be able to take advantage of the Rail Pass.
3. Tattoos
Tattoos are not common or widely accepted in Japan. There is no cause for concern, but do your best to cover your tattoos when possible and note that you may not be permitted to enter public spas or onsens (hot springs).
Group Leader Description
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officers (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting – we think it's the best of both worlds.
Group Size Notes
Max 15, avg 12
Meals Included
3 breakfasts, 2 dinners
Eating is a big part of traveling. G Adventures knows that worldwide, local cuisines define the cultures. We think sampling regional delicacies are intrinsic to truly experiencing the country. We want you to be able to try foods according to your individual tastes, comforts, and budgets.
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. At times, meals will be taken together as a group. Other times, your CEO will point you in the direction of several delicious options, and you will have free time to pick and choose at will. Often in Japan it is fun to get some snacks and beverages with the salarymen in the evenings at small restaurants, and other times it is fun to sit with a few friends at a sushi train.
Your CEO will always strive to cater for all dietary requirements/preferences, but please keep in mind that Vegetarianism/Veganism is very uncommon in Japan so this may mean a more limited selection for you.
Please refer to the Meals Included and Budget Information for information regarding included meals on your trip. Japan's kitchen is at your fingertips!
Bullet train, tram, ferry, public bus, walking.
About our Transportation
Japan's reliable public transportation is the best option for both the environment and for experiencing Japan like a local! We will ride several forms of transportation throughout the country, from Shinkansen bullet trains, to subways, funiculars, local trains, and buses. Note that often times we will have to carry our luggage from one mode of transport to another, so please consider this whilst packing.
Local Flights
All local flights are included in the cost of your tour unless otherwise noted. It is important that we have your passport information at the time of booking in order to process these tickets. Internal flight tickets are issued locally and will be given to you prior to the flight departure.
Solo Travellers
We believe single 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 single travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Hotels (6 nts), mountain monastery (1 nt, shared facilities), traditional inn (1 nt, shared facilities).
About Accommodation
Japan is one of the most populous countries in the world and space is at a premium. Therefore, hotels rooms are small! Additionally, most Japanese hotels do not have designated non-smoking rooms. Therefore, we ask hotels to deoderise rooms before check in.
Ryokan are traditional inns found across Japan. Featuring tatami floors (soft mats of woven straw), futon beds, Japanese-style baths, cotton kimono (casual robe worn to lounge around or to head to the bath), and elaborate meals (often served in the comfort of your own room), a ryokan is the perfect place to experience traditional customs and hospitality. As ryokan are usually top tier accommodations, most guests stay only one night, often to celebrate a special occasion or holiday. Don't be intimidated by the formalities inherent to a stay at a ryokan, your hosts will welcome you the same way they do all their guests. Have fun and enjoy this relaxing opportunity to learn more about Japan's unique customs.
Minshuku are Japan's answer to the Western bed and breakfast. Similar to ryokan, they have traditional features like tatami floors, futon beds, and Japanese-style baths. Minshuku are often family-run, and as such they offer a great opportunity to interact with local people and learn more about the nation's customs. More affordable and simpler than ryokan, minshuku tend to have smaller guestrooms, shared bathroom facilities, and any included meals (traditional, local, and delicious) are served in a communal dining room.
Please note that some of the traditional Japanese inns used on this tour only offer shared bathing facilities. This means that individual shower stalls will not be available, instead several shower stations are available in an open, same-sex bathing area. Shared bathhouses and onsen (hot springs) are an essential part of Japan's culture, traditionally serving as a place for men or women to gather, relax, and discuss the days happenings.

What to Take
We suggest that you pack as lightly as possible as you are expected to carry your own luggage. Our trips in Japan use public transport and most transport has limited luggage storage space. You will also be walking with your luggage in busy public train stations to catch connecting trains, so it is highly recommended that you travel light and have easy to handle luggage and are capable of walking up and down the stairs with your luggage without any assistance.
We recommend keeping the weight of your bags between 10-15kg/22-30lb. Suitcases are not recommended for G Adventures trips. Most travellers carry a backpack or rolling bag of small to medium size. A large bag will be an inconvenience to you and will slow you down!
Takuhaibin – Japan's takuhaibin service is a convenient and reliable way to transfer luggage from one location to another throughout the country. Pick-up/drop-off/delivery dates and times can be easily scheduled (usually overnight) and costs are moderate. Service can be arranged at most hotels and airports. Using Takuhaibin to send your luggage between hotels, or from hotel to airport, is a great way to travel light and avoid hauling large bags on crowded trains or up and down stairs – just be sure to pack an overnight bag with everything you'll need until you're reunited with your luggage the following day.

JAPAN: Most nationalities receive A 90-DAY PERMIT ON ARRIVAL,
Detailed Trip Notes
Travel in Japan is easy, clean, fast and efficient, however please be aware that English is still not widely spoken, however a lot of patience, a sense of humour and a respect for the local culture goes a long way in any Asian country and will greatly enrich your experience.
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
As currency exchange rates in Asia fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com.
Every Post Office and 7-11 Convenience store has an ATM machine that accepts Visa, Mastercard and Debit Cards. At times, Maestro/Master Card/Cirrus have been problematic at these machines, so please bring a back-up card.
Credit Cards should not be relied upon for purchases as they are not widely accepted, except in some restaurants and department stores. Money can be exchanged at Post Offices and some banks and hotels in major cities, however it can be a very slow process.
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
Departure tax is included in all international and domestic flight tickets.
Tipping is not practiced in Japan. Leaving money at restaurants, in taxis etc will simply cause confusion!
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is highly appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline $5 USD per person, per day can be used.
Optional Activities
- Mt. Misen Visit (Free-1800JPY per person)
- Zen Gardens of Ryōan-ji (500JPY per person)
- Philosopher's Walk (Free)
- Akihabara Visit (Free)

Please note inoculations may be required for the country visited. It is your responsibility to consult with your travel doctor for up to date medical travel information well before departure.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical information pertaining to the country you are travelling to well before departure. We recommend that you carry a First Aid kit and hand sanitizers / antibacterial wipes as well as a full supply of any personal medical requirements. In Asia, you will not find the same drugs as you get at home. Please be aware that sometimes we are in remote areas and away from medical facilities. Also note that for legal reasons our Leaders are prohibited from administering any type of drug including headache tablets, antibiotics, etc. When selecting your trip please carefully read the brochure and itinerary and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please refer to the Physical and Culture Shock ratings for trip specific information. G Adventures reserves the right to exclude any traveller from all or part of a trip without refund if, in the reasonable opinion of the CEO, they are unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group.
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. 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. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. 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. Although the cities visited on tour 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.
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:
Trip Specific Safety
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. Leave your valuable jewellery at home – you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.
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: 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 CEO, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy please bear in mind that all clients must have medical coverage and that we require a minimum coverage of USD 200,000 for repatriation and emergency rescue. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. 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.

Local Dress
In Asia the dress standard is more conservative than it is back home. When packing try to pick loose, lightweight, long clothing that will keep you cool in the usually hot and humid climate of Asian summers. In predominately Buddhist countries we ask that you dress respectfully and avoid very short shorts/skirts and singlets/tanktops when visiting temples or other holy sites.
After your travels, we want to hear from you! Your feedback information is so important to us that we'll give you 5% off the price of your next G Adventures trip if your feedback is completed on-line within 30 days of finishing your trip.

A Fondue Night Out
Four couples enjoy the full course as the fondue craze bubbles back.
July 30, 2007
Saturday evening at the HotPot fondue restaurant, waitress Melanie de Melt served four married couples during the first seating. Each couple sat in one of four adjacent booths numbered 1-4 left-to-right as served by Melanie; and each ordered a different salad, entree, and chocolate dessert course from the menu. Given the clues below, you should be able to determine the full names of the couple who sat in each booth, as well as the complete meal they enjoyed on their Fondue Night Out.
Mike and his wife sat in the booth between those of the Prices and the couple who ordered East Is East as their entree selection.
Lonny and his wife chose HotPot HodgePodge as their main course.
The couple who had Darkly Delicious for dessert sat in the booth between those of the couple who shared a Waldorf Salad and the couple who picked the Caesar Salad.
Ken and his wife aren't the couple who picked The Ocean as their main course.
Jack and his wife and Anne and her husband had coffee with their dessert fondue.
Cheryl and her husband had the booth between those of the couple who had Steak-Out as their entree and the couple who shared the House Salad.
The couple who shared a Caesar Salad didn't have The Ocean as an entree.
Neither the Rymans nor the Stones is the pair who enjoyed a Chef's Salad.
Diana and her husband weren't seated next to the couple who shared a Waldorf Salad.
Ken and his wife commented on the Berry Berry Good and the S'Mores desserts as they were served by Melanie to other couples.
The Stones' booth was next to that of the couple who chose Chocolate Ripple, a combination of white and milk chocolate, for dessert.
Mr. Price, who isn't Lonny, was glad his wife talked him out of ordering Steak-Out as a main course.
Beth and her husband didn't choose Berry Berry Good for dessert.
The Queens aren't the couple who sat in booth #3.

For the extension... look up the wheel base of those models. The cab (engine, trans, etc.) might have been the same. But did they have the rear wheels moved to keep the whole thing balanced?From a mechanics perspective on extending the frame, don't just weld 3' of beams to what is there. For structural safety, remove the frame extensions they welded on and replace with C or I beams 3' longer. Use 1/4" minimum plates to sandwich the joint. Do NOT skimp on the welding job!! This is the foundation of your house! If the beams bend or welds crack you lose everything!
Any competent lawyer would have me throw this in here: I am not giving certified mechanical advice. What I'm saying is worth every penny you are paying for it.($0.00)
From my three decades of shade-tree mechanicking. <-(new word there) As long as you don't put any of the tanks, bathroom fixtures, gun safe, or any other heavy junk in the very back, (new 3 feet) it should work just fine. I'm hearing that you basically want 3 more feet of room for the bed area?? Did I get that right?
You know, it's probably not too late to re-think this project. Kev
Hey All - I updated our blog with current pics. I have to resize them to post here which is a pain so if for some reason you can't see them on the blog, let me know and I will edit one or two to post here.Thoughts? Suggestions?Today we will be talking to another RV repair shop about our ideas and will show them the existing 'C' bracket extension that is on the RV and see what they say about that 3'. Keep your fingers crossed. Also need to find a welder and the metal for the repairs/reinforcement of the frame. Really hoping we don't need to replace the sheet aluminum at the very base of everything.Thanks! Hello, download photo shrink from the app store. It is really easy and it shrinks photos to the perfect size for posting here, just a couple of steps😁https://randallgypsycaravan.wordpress.com/2017/07/17/deconstruction-almost-complete/
Wa_mermayd,Here are some pics your requested.Click on the picture.Love your pet bears. Where are you located that you have bears helping with your project?Tom,
You need to look at the tongue weight rating to see what weight you can actually carry. The 5000 Lb. towing capacity is the weight of the trailer which a lot of is carried on the trailer tires. I am guessing the tongue weight rating is only about 500 or 600 lbs.
I agree with Kevin's suggestion of rethinking this. From the pics you posted and the information provided, it would be best to take the entire house off and junk everything but cabinets and reusable hardware. To do anything less would be putting cash into something that has a negative value. If the walls were rebuilt and a new roof put on, (all new stuff except the aluminum framing) you might have something to show for all of your hard work and $$.JMO and good luck
wow, talk about a total gut.....and doing it out in the weather too.What an awesome chance to make some changes!

honky / hunky / hunyak / honyock
These are all contemptuous terms for white people, usually used by African Americans.
These terms are originally references to Eastern European immigrants. The origin may a blend of Hun + Polack. From the Chicago Daily Tribune of 14 May 1906:
Hun, Pole, Austrian, Bulgarian, Bohemian—the "Hunkies" of Illinois Steel colloquialism—indifferent to pain of shattered, burned, mangled body, grow frantic as the stretcher bearers near this fortress hospital.
From Upton Sinclair's 1909 The Second-Story Man:
I've seen a man there get caught in one of the cranes. They stopped the machinery, but they couldn't get him out. They'd have had to take the crane apart, and that would have cost several days, and it was rush time, and the man was only a poor Hunkie, and there was no one to know or care. So they started up the crane, and cut his leg off.1
And from Abstracts of Reports of the [Dillingham] Immigration Commision, Vol. 1, 1910:
MAGYAR (pron. Mä-jár), Hungarian, Hun, or Hunyak in popular language [...] "Huns" and "Hunkies" are names still more incorrectly applied to this race and to Slavs indiscriminately in some parts of America.2
Honyocker makes its appearance in 1912. From Jan Brunvand's Readings in Folklore:
Don't ask me my name, a honyocker I am.3
The modern spelling and pronunciation honky comes a bit later. From Mezzrow & Wolfe's Really the Blues of 1946 (in a reference to the 1930s):
Man, I'm down with it, stickin' like a honky.4
But in the glossary to their book, Mezzrow & Wolfe define honky as a "factory hand."5
There are various false origins based on the form honky, which we have seen isn't the original. One that is commonly touted is that the term comes from white men driving through African-American neighborhoods looking for prostitutes. They would drive slowly, honking their horns to get the attention of the streetwalkers. Another is that the honk comes from the "nasal" qualities of white accents.

He is certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support as well as IV Sedation by the Pennsylvania State Board of Dentistry. He has been awarded a Mastership from the Academy of General Dentistry.

Following dental school, he received further training in a General Practice Residency at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center where he served as Chief Resident. Dr. Shulman is married and has two sons.
Dear Dr. Shulman,
For as long as I can remember, I was afraid of the dentist. My usual visits to the dentist were for emergencies; an abscess, severe toothache or a much needed filling. I was loosing a tooth here and there and my smile was always with my lips sealed or my hand covering my mouth.
Family photos with my daughters and wife never revealed teeth and as my teeth, or lack of teeth worsened, my self consciousness reached its peak.
I saw commercials about implants and I started to do research. In January of 2006, I had my first consultation with you. My wife encouraged me to make the commitment to finally restore my teeth and smile.
My daughters' wedding day was May 11th and for the first time in over 25 years, I laughed freely and smiled as the photographer did his job and I was truly in the moment and enjoyed myself without being self-conscious.
I'd like to thank you Dr. Shulman, for your expertise and for the friendliness and professionalism of you and your staff. The kindness, understanding and just being nice people helped me persevere.
Mike Diringer
Dear Doctor Shulman and Staff,
I wanted to send you a letter to express my gratitude for the wonderful job you performed on my teeth. I like many people had a dental phobia that would not allow me the courage to see a dentist unless I had pain that mostly required tooth extraction. Every time I would go to the dentist in these times of need, I would hear the same remarks, "Oh my you know your teeth need a major cleaning and x-rays to determine if you have cavities." I would always agree and go thru the process only to never see that particular dentist ever again. Because of this constant denial and ostrich treatment I lived with, my my teeth continued to deteriorate and caused me to feel inferior in many situations. At family functions I would try not to smile to broadly as to create a reason for people to look at my teeth. In situations that made me feel uncomfortable, while in the company of others, I would simply leave. My wife would try to talk to me about it and I would not follow thru on any "solution" we thought would be appropriate. I know family, friends and work colleagues had opinions about my teeth and it ate at me constantly. This became an obsession for me, this feeling that no matter what I said or how important the issue, everybody in the room was looking at my teeth. I lost sleep because of it, it affected my job, it affected my closest relationships because I was simply ashamed of what I allowed to happen to my teeth. I sat in my basement going thru website after website because I came to the conclusion that something, anything had to be better than living with this shame. I found three dentists that I thought were possible "solutions" to my dilemma and I scheduled appointments with all of them. Putting aside my feelings for being scolded by various people I never met before, I went to all three appointments. As expected each dentist gave me "solutions" after a very brief visit and was very adamant that I schedule my next appointment immediately before I leave the office and get this problem solved now. You however, Dr. Shulman were very realistic and honest after my visit to your office. We sat and discussed options, you promised nothing except your best and we discussed my fear of pain that put me in this position in the first place. I felt comfortable immediately and did in fact schedule a major cleaning before I left your office, not because you told me it had to be done, but because I knew and felt like you were the guy to help me move towards my goal of solving this problem. That was May of 2008 when this began and has included many visits and consultations to determine my personal best solution. I decided that a porcelain bridge to correct my smile was the appropriate fix for me. I told you my son was going to graduate from school in June and you told me that while the job will not be completed that quickly, I could rest assured that a temporary fix would be in place before then. I cannot explain to you in words how wonderful it felt to me at that party when as promised my temporary bridge was in place and my self confidence was also in place. It took many months and many visits to complete this process. But there are no words to express my gratitude to you and your unbelievable staff for having changed my life with something as simple as a smile.
You are my Dentist for life and I also count all of you as my friends. You are the most incredible staff I could have hoped to have met. It was truly a lucky day for me when I found you on the web!!!
Tom Benefeld
Dear Dr. Shulman
I just wanted to say that dental sedation has been a great experience for me. I have had a fear of going to the dentist for many years. I would just get nervous at the thoughts of even making an appointment. Since I have found Dr. Shulman, I now am over my fear. The experience was very pleasant and he and his staff made me feel so comfortable. I have had eight hours of dental work done under sedation at two seperate times and each time passed by so quickly. I am very pleased with all the work that was done. I still have a long way to go, since I let things get so bad, but I now know that I found a dentist that I could trust and feel very comfortable and confident with him and his wonderful staff.
I would like to thank everyone for being patient with me and taking the time to make me feel at home. I would highly recommend your services to all my friends and family. Thank you agian for understanding my fears and putting them to rest.
Thank You Dear Dr. Shulman:
I just would like to take a minute and say thank you for a job well done.
You are the first dentist including your staff that took away all my fear and concerns that I had about visiting the dentist.
I have been in this country for 30 plus years, and visited about 6 dentists all together. I stopped going, because it always ended up in a nightmare. Mostly because I did not speak English too well and I trusted that the dentist knew his trade. A lot of my teeth were removed; I had three root canals on one tooth, and a batch of partials that didn't fit.
It was not until I found your office on the internet, I just could not believe how kind and professional you and your staff were. You listened to my wishes and fears, and understood just how much I would like to be able to chew my food properly and smile once again.
During my treatments for dental implants, you and your staff never once got impatient with me. You even provided me with pillows and breaks for my back and neck problems. Your state of the art office environment, your incredible staff and your expertise turned me into a lifetime patient. I never thought this could happen to me.
The only way I can show you how grateful I am is to recommend you to as many people that I can. I hope you will give me permission to mention this in a short letter in the "Northeast Times."
Thank you and your great staff,
Ellen Savage
Dear Dr. Drew,
Thank you for putting a smile on my face (literally). I am impressed with the outcome of my treatment. You are a fabulous dentist, compassionate and very talented. Your family is blessed to have you. I thank God that you are a perfectionist. I know I received the very best care. I appreciate you taking time with my case. I felt cared for by you and your staff. My treatment and my new smile exceeded my expectations. When I meet people looking for a dental care, I will send them to you. I hope for you the best life can offer.
Michelle Everett
Dear Dr. Shulman,
I just wanted to drop a line to thank you for all that you have done to make me "whole" again.
A few months ago I would never have imagined that a process was available that would restore my ability to eat and enjoy anything of my choosing with no discomfort at all, and that the end result would be an appearance so natural as to be virtually indistinguishable from my original teeth.
Dental implants have literally changed my life. I have regained my winning smile and the confidence that goes with it. And, as alluded to before, I can tear into the crustiest bread or the thickest steak with no problem whatsoever.
I should mention too that the entire procedure, form start to finish, was absolutely pain free; a fact that astounds everyone I talk to.
Finally, I just want to add that you and your entire staff are among the friendliest and most courteous people that I have ever encountered in all my 62 years. You make dental care a walk in the park.
Very truly yours,
Bob Leonardo
Dr. Shulman and Staff,
I would just like to thank everyone for being so patient and kind to me. I never leave your office feeling bad. If anything, I always leave smiling. There should be more doctor offices like yours. You and your staff know how to make someone feel at ease. Well, thank you again for all the great care.
Lisa Breeding
Dear Dr. Shulman & Staff,
Dr Shulman, you and your team are EXCEPTIONAL! Not only do you go over and above what anyone could ever expect, the compassion, thoughtfulness, and support that is displayed is extremely unique.
The kindness and warmth that was expressed by all of you during my sedation made our dental experiece more then what we could have ever anticipated.
We are so fortunate to have found you. Thank you so much for the best dental experience we have ever encountered.
Dear Dr. Shulman,
Thank you for providing excellent dental care to me and my family!
But most of all, thank you for all of the personal sacrifices you have make to become the caring and competent health care professional that you are. I for one am grateful.
Marie Ann Fitti
Dear Dr. Drew and Staff,
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I love my beautiful smile! All your knowledge and special care gave me total confidence in having you all put your fingers into my mouth. The results are wonderful!
Thank you!!! You are all fantastic!
Much Appreciation,
Rosey Oringer
Dear Dr Shulman,
Many thanks to you and your staff for restoring my dental health. As a retired research scientist, I admired the fact that several dental specialties were practiced at your office. My patience was rewarded when a friend said "You have an unbelievable smile." Whatever the procedure was, I never had discomfort during or after my visit.
Thanks Again,
Sam Serota

Gum disease and gingivitis are among the most prevalent of dental problems. It begins with bad breath and can lead to tooth loss and other more serious health problems. Dr. Drew Shulman can help you keep periodontal disease at bay, or better yet, avoided altogether.
There are two types of gum disease. The first, which is reversible, is common gingivitis. With gingivitis, the gums are inflamed but a rigorous program of brushing, flossing and regular dental care can often cure the problem. However, left untreated, gingivitis can lead to the more serious problem of periodontitis. Studies have found that infected gum tissues can lead to heart problems and other serious health conditions.
If you're looking for Philadelphia gingivitis dentistry, call us today at (215) 969-8080. Or fill out our online form for easy scheduling. At Drew A. Shulman, DMD, MAGD, we have several payment options and we're available when it's convenient for you.

Choose your Muralchange product
Every mural is made to measure. Customise your size, crop and your choice of standard or premium, textured, wall coverings.
– Satin smooth
– Just Stick It Up™ (satin)
– Linen textured
– Oriental style
View mural details and options
Each made-to-measure mural is customised to your exact specifications; select your size, crop and finish, then we'll make it for you. You can choose between our standard mural, our handy Just Stick It Up option or from a choice of premium textured finishes. There's no limit to the size of your mural, as it comes supplied in manageable 'drops' of up to 1200mm (48").
Available from 1000 x 1000mm.
Installation is not included within the price; see 'how to' section to find out more.
Choose between:
– Satin smooth (standard)
Supplied in easy to apply sections, these standard murals boast a satin smooth finish on durable heavy gauge paper, and are ready for installation using the 'paste the wall' method.
– Just Stick It Up™ (standard)
Our self-adhesive options use Just Stick It Up technology, featuring 'forgiving' adhesive qualities which allow the less confident installer a chance to reposition the mural to get it perfect.
– Linen textured (premium)
A favourite with interior designers, these textured wallcoverings feature a woven finish reminiscent of printed fabric, for a warm and soft effect. Ready for installation using the 'paste the wall' method.
– Oriental style (premium)
Oriental textured papers offer a subtle texture reminiscent of handmade papers, to create a luxurious effect. Ready for installation using the 'paste the wall' method.
All our prints retain the character of the original image. Each print is sealed and designed to remain vibrant throughout its lifetime. Approved to class 0 and Class 1 rating.
Our made-to-measure wall murals are supplied within 12 working days, in sections, rolled and packed in tubes. We supply full installation guides, soft squeegees and plastic strips to protect your wall when you trim your mural to fit.
Worldwide shipping is FREE for all orders over £150. For orders under £150, shipping is £15.
To help track the progress of your Surface View product we provide an
email receipt with your order, personal confirmation, estimated delivery date and tracking details of your dispatched product.
All our murals are straight forward to install if you're handy with DIY. They are produced in sections up to 1200mm wide to make the sections of your mural more manageable. Both our 'paste the wall' method or the self- adhesive Just Stick It Up option are designed to avoid the 'wallpapering nightmare' scenario.
You'll need a tape measure, spirit level or plumb line and a sharp knife. If you've chosen one of our 'paste the wall' products then you'll need a heavy duty wallpaper paste and a wallpaper brush or roller. Your wall should be in good condition with an emulsion finish. For our Just Stick It Up murals, we recommend that your wall has an acrylic egg shell finish - no paste required.
Your mural is supplied with 50mm bleed all round and 25mm overlaps in between sections that are designed to be cut back to the perfect butt join and trimmed to your exact wall size.
For more detailed instructions on how to install either our 'paste the wall' or Just Stick It Up murals visit our Support section, or you can download the PDF below.

Drawing a Lion
Update: Hey, the sound's back! Unfortunately, the lion's still not doing anything but sitting on a stage. Sorry about that, but it's still an improvement.

My son says: "Wow, your drawing of the lion is cool. I lov eyour lion drawing"
I say: "Needs music."

For some reason I am feeling inspired to borrow the stage, curtain, and spotlight and put a different character in it. "more fish anyone?"
Love this of course.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Since it's on youtube you could try the "audio swap" option and see if you can put some freebie music on it. Though I don't know if that works for silent videos.

Love your drawings ... all of them. So long did it take you to finish the whole drawing?
- November 24, 2009

Wow.... you draw fast!

This is actually how I found out about your blog! I searched how to draw a cartoon on youtube and got "how to draw a flying pig" as one of the results. b
Been semi-legally stalking ya ever since! even got a few dozen friends to read your stuff as well ;)

This video has this hypnotic magical pull that every child in this room has gravitated towards. Well done indeed!
- November 27, 2009
- Marine said...
I never get how to change the color of the clean-up...! :S and it's a shame since it really can modify the feeling about a drawing, and make it look "lighter"!
by the way people, come over heeeeere pliz http://maydmayd.blogspot.com/ (yes I'm making my own advert, shame on me... XD)

I'm amazed at the stuff you come up with. A simple lion becomes something grander with the stroke of your pencil. I'm tearing up... gotta run.
Incredible work Shane!

ECHL Game Night: 3/12/11
Greenville Road Warriors 3 @ Florida Everblades 4 (OT)
C Mitch Fadden: Did not play (out until at least April - blood clot).
Season totals: 37 GP, 15-36-51, -2, 34 PIM
LW Alex Hutchings: 1-0-1, E, 0 PIM, 4 SOG, *Third Star*
Season totals: 40 GP, 11-12-23, -10, 31 PIM
G Jaroslav Janus: Did not play (backup)
Season totals: 25 GP, 11-12-0-0, 3.03 GAA, .913 sv%, 0 SO
Hutchings' 11th goal of the season, scored shorthanded, gave Florida a brief 2-1 lead midway through the third period. Greenville scored just 14 seconds later to make it 2-2. Greenville fought back from a 3-2 deficit with the game-tying goal with under two minutes to go, but the Everblades got a goal from Matt Beca in overtime for the win. Jaroslav Janus watched from the bench in his first game back from AHL Norfolk. Former Lightning draftee Dusty Collins, who started the game on a line with Hutchings, was scoreless in his Everblades debut. Florida sits in fifth in the Eastern Conference, two points back of South Carolina for fourth, but just five points ahead of Cincinnati, who is ninth.

Reflections from Day 1 (John Buck)
Wow, where to begin? My first day here in Bahrain and I have to admit I woke up before the alarm went off in anticipation of seeing and spending time with the troops. Our first stop was at a highly classified location which was amazing and proved to be an eye opener to see what they entail on a daily basis. At our second stop, we visited the airbase and had the opportunity to have lunch with Army, Navy, and Air Force personnel. This allowed me to have personal conversations with the troops and learn more about their roles in the military. I met a gentleman from Kentucky who basically does overall maintenance on computers and electronics. I also met some pilots from New Jersey and yes I did get them to do a fist pump! After lunch, we were able to check out their living arrangements. I don't know what I was expecting, but it happen to be a much smaller and confined than I had anticipated. It is hard to believe how they cram that many guys into a small community tent. Plus all they had were sheets separating them for individual privacy. As they were taking us through the tent, they said the temperature can get up to 120 degrees during the height of the summer and the AC unit did not look big enough to pump out a lot of air conditioning. Just one more humbling reminder of what the men and women go through to protect us and make our lives comfortable and safe in the United States and around the world. After a 45 minute autograph session at the same base, we headed over to see the world famous Tree of Life. For as much significance as this tree possesses, it definitely did not seem to be well preserved for being a national landmark. Other than a small iron fence around the base of the tree, it appeared vandalized with name carvings, dates, and other stuff you can imagine. From there we went to a military base and hosted a baseball clinic for kids ranging from the ages of 7 through 13. The camp came with good timing as it gave me a second boost of energy due to the long day. The kids had a great time and of course we ended up getting more out of those kids than they got out of us. It was one of those experiences that I will never forget. As I write this blog before I shower up and prepare to hit the town of Bahrain for a good dinner, I can only imagine what tomorrow is going to entail for us. We start bright and early training with the Marines and it should be a good one if I survive. Rumor has it they are the best of the best.

John, on behalf of my son Trenton (age 7), a big thanks to you, Logan, Jeff, and Andre for taking the time to visit our baseball team on our humble sandlot and spending individual time with the kids. They had a great time and I know they learned something as well. You guys seemed to have some fun too 🙂 FYI, now I have to go get some Marlins gear next time back in the states as both my kids are now calling themselves Marlins 🙂 And thanks for visiting our troops!…Craig Wilson
John, as Mr. Samson stated, you are a natural teacher and future coach! Thanks for the time with the kids today. My son Tanner is still walking around the flat "squishing the bug". Safe travels and rest assured you guys left a lasting impression on the youth players today. Tanner is a big fan now and can't wait to see you on the armed forces network this year.
Paul Flusche
Thank you for visiting us in Bahrain. Yeah the tents aren't that comfortable, but after a long day of work, I love saying "I can't wait to get back to the tent". It's home! I also want to thank you for pushing me in the back as I was about to dunk on you (not really but it could happen). Shot were wayyyy off and on behalf of my Chief, he was shooting with his eyes closed and that's why the ball went over the fence 🙂 . LOL! But anyways, we really appreciate you all taking the time out to come visit!
Have a good one,
Zae Belcher

Hi everyone. it's been quite a while since there's been much activity on the forums…basically because, well, I broke the new member registration function and haven't gotten around to fixing it.
The good news is, I am finally working on the background stuff and hope to have the forum up and running soonish. Although we have an active Facebook Page now, and I've finally gotten around to establishing a presence on Google+ I know that a lot of people would like a place to interact with fellow bento fans away from the usual big sites. So the forums will be back, although I'll have to see how much stress they will place on the servers. (Full disclosure: I'm struggling a bit to keep up with the running costs of the site, especially since I'm trying to catch up from my long absence.)
However, in order to reduce the time needed to maintain the sites, I've decided to get rid of the individual member blogs feature. There are plenty of places where you can set up a free or very inexpensive blog, and only a few people were using the feature anyway.
So - if you do have a blog on this site, you have until May 15, 2013 to get down any content you have on them. After that they will be gone from the site.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Sounds like a good idea to me. There are plenty of other places for blogs and there's really no need in you having to deal with maintaining that side of the site, too.
I want to register for this site because it has been helping me a lot on starting to make my own bentos especially that school is starting up and I wanted a healthier alternative to buying from the options on campus since it is mostly junk food.
So I'm going to follow your format that you posted back in 2011 and hopefully you do get the site up and running again for people who have experience and people who really want to start in something as awesome as this.
Your desired username - carochan, carogueva, c-chan
A short paragraph describing yourself, why you're interested in bentos: I find it funny how long I've seen bento boxes in animes and mangas and it had never occurred to me that I could make one myself. I recently started actually searching and reading about how and where to make and get supplies and found this site. There aren't many sites that are dedicated to this subject which is why I hope it stays especially since it has helped many people starting out like me. A little about me, I'm a sophomore in college starting this fall semester and I just love Japanese culture like many other people have found it is cute, interesting, sometimes strange, but overall a lot of fun. For me it all started when I found manga in my schools' middle school library and here I am going to anime conventions, still watching "cartoons" as my parents call it, and now I'm buying bento supplies to "make lunch for a 5 year old" as my dad put it. I wish you guys the best on the site and that you get it up and running for all the bento loving folk out there ^_^
Your email address: well I had to write it to post the comment, well my email is the second username and its a yahoo email so that should be enough right? :)
Hope I don't get in too much trouble for posting this on the wrong one...
