Stingray Divers: Fun Diving Super Day (Shark Point / Anenome Reef / King Cruiser Wreck)
- Three dive, full day trip

- Explore the atmospheric King Cruiser Wreck.
- Enjoy the multi-coloured corals and wildlife at Anenome Reef.
- Equipment available to hire for small additional fee.
- Exciting and challenging dives for certified divers.
Dive Tour Description
The waters that surround Krabi are notorious for their stunning underwater flora and fauna. Join diving experts Stingray Divers for a unique, thrilling day spent exploring the sights under the sea!
The scuba diving sites of Shark Point, Anemone Reef and King Cruiser Wreck, located between Krabi, Koh Phi Phi and Phuket, are among some of the most celebrated in the region. The sheer diversity of marine-life and the excitement of the challenging underwater terrain make them highly appealing for advanced divers who are looking for a real challenge and some breath-taking scenery.
Shark Point, which consists of three soaring pinnacles, inherited its name from the impressive numbers of leopard sharks that stealthily patrol the area; though other creatures that you can expect to see include secretive moray eels that lurk in the coral, and often turtles passing through the area.
2 kilometres to the north lies Anemone Reef; which offers a stark contrast to Shark Point. Divers can expect the colours to be bold, bright and beautiful in this stunning location, and it is here that you are likely to see impressive lion fish, butterfly fish, and if you are really lucky, a whale shark or two.
Our final dive spot is the eerie King Cruiser Wreck; the remains of a cruiser boat that sunk in 1997. Nowadays, the rusted carcass of the ship is home to large schools of Barracuda, Snappers and Fusilliers; and octopuses and hawksbill turtles are also common visitors to this mysterious site.
The three dives are known collectively as a 'superday', and that is exactly what you can expect; an unforgettable, diverse scuba diving adventure that is guaranteed to please!

2. Riverview Fresh Market. Riverview, FL.
If you want some delicious, fresh, Spanish/Caribbean food please check this place out. It is a diamond in the ruff!

Defiance Games Help Get Your Kit Transported Off World
July 2, 2013 by brennon
Defiance Games have recently released their Chinese Troopers but they are also looking to release some Shipping Containers as terrain pieces come July 15th...
The standard kit comes with enough components to make two containers in three variants. While they are based in their own Sci-Fi world they look modern enough to fit into a contemporary setting too.
Maybe you want to relive the final fight scene from Iron Man 3? You will need a lot of containers for that one. This is a set of relatively simple terrain, it's essentially boxes, but they could be an easy way of making a good urban battleground.
Will you pick some up?

Addiction Treatment; What are the Right Elements?
It is extremely important for those struggling with addiction to get the right help right away. Early intervention with the right medical and mental assessments and treatment can make a dramatic difference between recovery and continued addiction. When reviewing clinical outcome studies data relating to all mental health diseases it is evident that making the right diagnosis and establish the right modalities of treatment inclusive of pharmacological therapy with the appropriate dose coupled with the right mental health counseling will yield the best results. Also numerous mental health studies show that treating patients with counseling alone will yield a certain level of success. When treating with pharmacological therapy alone a certain level of success is achieved. But when combining these two treatment modalities there is a synergistic outcome that is greater in combination than either treatment modality used alone can achieve. Also when including alternative therapies for addiction treatment (i.e. acupuncture, physical exercise etc.) all these elements combined can help increase a positive clinical outcome. One final note on some interesting data that is very revealing when dealing with success rates with patients with any mental health disease in which addiction treatment would obviously be included. That all the right components of diagnosis and treatment must be made and implemented within the first six weeks of treatment and if this is not accomplished the addiction treatment plan is doomed to fail.
Addiction treatment needs to be based on each individual's needs. Even though the disease of addiction usually presents with many of the same commonalities from person to person, the causes for the disease of addiction are many and varied and based on the individual's needs so should the addiction treatment.

Identify Your Pest >>
You might have noticed that, with the exception of the kitchen, you find more pests in your bathroom than in the rest of your home. This is because insects and rodents see the bathroom as a convenient watering hole. Pests love leaky pipes and standing water because these offer them a hydrating oasis in the otherwise dry biome that is your house or apartment. And if your bathroom develops mold, all the better for pests, who may eat fungus or use it to lay their eggs.
Thankfully, by following just a few tips, you can keep pests out for good. However, if you feel like your problem has gotten out of control, you may want to consider calling a professional pest control service that can use environmentally safe methods to remove the infestation.
Deep clean your bathroom once every two months
The exact amount of time between deep cleanings will depend on how many people use your bathroom, with what regularity they use it and how humid the air is - but for most homes, two months is a good figure. Deep cleaning means doing more than a simple wipe-down of surfaces, it means getting into the little nooks and crannies and cleaning out anything that might growing there. Put on your rubber gloves, grab a fresh sponge, and use a spray bottle of bathroom cleaner to get into those hard-to-reach places.
Quick clean your bathroom once a week
Every week, give your bathroom a quick cleaning to remove any dampness that may have built up. During this cleaning, pay special attention to the floor around your tub, toilet and sink. Hair and pet dander can build up in corners, so give these a sweep with a damp cloth. Wipe down surfaces such as the bathtub, toilet seat and tank, as well as the vanity counter top. Alexandra Churchill, writing for Martha Stewart Living, recommended scrubbing your shower liners with a solution of one part bleach to ten parts water.
Check for leaky pipes
This tip is especially important if you plan on going for a long trip. Before you even start packing for your vacation, do a quick check of all the pipes in the house. This will only take you a few minutes, but it will ensure you don't come home to any surprises. Popular Mechanics even suggested turning off the main water supply during long absences. Small leaks can usually be fixed with a few parts from the local hardware store, but larger problems may necessitate a professional.
Abell Pest Control is a family owned Canadian company dedicated to providing effective, professional and courteous service in pest management.Started in 1924 with one office, Abell now employs several hundred people with branch offices across Canada and the United States.
Say goodbye to ants, spiders, mice or any other pest in your home or business. Guaranteed!

My seemingly unobtainable desire was always for creating abstract art when all I ever seemed to produce was realism. I began my art career trying a bit of everything: I explored pastels (chalk and oil), drawing, oil paints and finally settled on my favourite medium: acrylic. I tried a vast array of subject matter from portraits to landscapes and everything in between.
I really enjoy painting poppies with intricate spiral backgrounds (which is what I'm most 'known' for) but, as I mentioned before, my real passion is for abstract art. I could never quite figure out how to express myself in this way until I embarked on my 'Rocking Art' series (2012 – 2016) which explored intuitive painting to music (my favourite rock bands). I'm a bass guitarist for an indie rock band, so music is a big part of who I am and what keeps me going. With this series I wanted to subliminally tap into why we like and are drawn to certain types of music — why some people love or hate different genres and musicians/bands. My findings were quite incredible and I not only took start-to-finish photographs of the process but also captured the emotions of what I was feeling (here is the link to my series: https://cherieroedirksen.com/the-rock-art-series/).
This started the ball rolling for me as I took my first steps into the world of contemporary art. My latest projects are about probing the subconscious and the void of existence. Pretty heavy, right? It's been a real voyage of discovery for me. My painting called 'Panspermia' (origins of life), which I've entered into this competition, saw me stumble into a realm that I'm not quite sure about. Every person who has seen this piece brings a different interpretation of what it means to them or what they see in it (which is what art is about, I know) – but this piece tends to take the average person deeper (either into fear, fascination or deep contemplation). This intrigues me because I believe everyone has their own Truth and brings their own meaning to life itself. I want to explore this 'quantum soup' type of art more and tap into this unseen realm of all possibility. I am also a self-empowerment author and columnist (for Conscious Life News and Odyssey magazine), so this is a field that I'm greatly committed to.
What I hope to achieve from this is way out of my own comfort zone (but that's good) and I want to facilitate the viewer to explore their own limitations and/or expansion — it feels like an adventure I can't say no to. In a nutshell (I'm going to try and put it in words): I want every soul who sees the representations — of what I'm literally plucking out of the ether/matrix (or whatever else you want to call it) — to glean some sort of remembrance of who they really are; what their soul imprint is. I think we're a species with amnesia (meaning we come into this life oblivious as to our past incarnations) and I want to ignite a sense of inner self exploration with my work — I want people to dig deep into their own psyche or akash and remember who they really are (which is, in my opinion, an immortal spirit with infinite capabilities stuck in a corporeal body). I know it's possible and I hope I get the funds to take this concept further than even I could imagine and to a much broader audience. I believe if we (humanity) are given a chance, we can unlock all our inherent capabilities and the mysteries of our own existence beyond this earthly realm. The scope is broad but the passion is lit!

Authoress's Note: Okay, this idea had been ghosting around my mind for a year. Now I'm writing it! This is a Christmas fic, hope you guys will enjoy it as much I do… T.T (Hopefully) This is a one-shot fic! Hehe. –shudders- it's getting so cold…
Disclaimer: Not mine!
Summary: How much does Sasuke care for Sakura? She didn't know… until that Christmas Party night.
Pairings: SasuSaku
White Light
Written By: CherryArrow
"I'm cold…" Sakura commented, rubbing her hands together. Her face looked flushed from the cold. She glanced at her friends, who were sitting across her. Ino raised an eyebrow. "Sakura, you're wearing two sets of clothes!" Sakura coughed. "I don't like cold weathers… you know that." She said, and looked through the misted glass, she could see the flakes falling from the sky. Sakura invited her friends to her Holiday house for a Christmas party. She told Sasuke to come; he at first didn't want to come. Too many people, he doesn't like too many people Sakura knew. He began to smile often now, but only in front of Sakura. She told him to open others as well, Sasuke frowned, and it was a hard work for him.
Sasuke sighed beside her, and took off his scarf and threw it over her head. She yelped in surprise, she took it off her head, turning around and gave him a look. "Wear it." He said. Sakura smiled, she liked how he showed his affections to her. He watched her from afar, caring for her. But it was enough for Sakura. She "Thanks." She grinned and wrapped it around her neck. Hmm, smells like Sasuke-kun. I'm going to ask him if I can have this scarf. With that thought, she giggled out loud.
"Naruto is late." Shikamaru said. Sakura rolled her eyes. To everyone's surprise, they heard the door swung open and shut again. Naruto burst into the room, with snowflakes on his hair. He panted, "Er… am I late?"
"Yes dobe." Sasuke drawled. Naruto send him a glare. "I told you not to call me that, bastard!" Sakura smiled to herself as she stood up, walking towards the kitchen table, bring the food over. Sasuke's eyes followed her as she moved. "Do I care?" He replied sarcastically. Naruto's vein appeared. "Teme…"
"No fighting in my house." Sakura's voice rang cheerily. Naruto's expression disappeared, and turned into a sheepish smile. "Yes, Sakura-chan!" He ran to the kitchen to help Sakura. Sasuke cursed under his breath. Naruto disliked Sasuke more when he found out Sakura and him were dating. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked into the kitchen. He won't allow Naruto spend time alone with his girlfriend.
Finally food was set onto the table. The party had begun. After thirty minutes. Naruto stood on the table and cleared his throat. Sakura winced at the sight. "Sasuke! Let's play a game!" Sasuke arched a dark brow. All the people's attention set on those two. Sakura groaned with frustration. She quickly tugged his sleeve slightly. Sasuke lowered his head to look at her. "I have something- Never mind, Naruto wants to play a game with you." Sasuke nodded and turned back. Sakura sighed heavily; she knew her and Sasuke are dating. They kissed, once. He told he liked her, once. They never hold hands. They've been on a date, only once. She wondered if she wasn't sweet enough. Some girls crowded around Sakura. "So… how's Sasuke-kun?"
"How's what?" Sakura asked.
"Is he good?" They asked, giggling.
"Er… I don't know what you're talking about." Sakura said, blushing slightly. The girls looked disappointed and went.
"Oh, big forehead girl, you know exactly what's going on!" Ino smirked, her blue eyes twinkling. "But, doesn't matter. I'm not into Sasuke anymore. Getting too old." Sakura forced a small smile.
"Actually I don't know he truly likes me or not." Sakura confessed.
"Why? He told you he likes you." Tenten suddenly appeared next to her. She made Sakura jump.
"Yeah, he did… But he seemed not care for me, we did everything only once…" Her voice trailed off.
"Well, he is Uchiha Sasuke." Ino said. "What do you expect him to be like? Lee?" Sakura slowly turn her gaze at Lee across the table. He was dancing madly, drunk, forcing Neji to dance; he gave him a disgusted look. Tenten looked frustrated. "Um, I need to go… LEE!"
"No…" Sakura replied truthfully. "Even though he is gentle. Sasuke-kun isn't!" Sakura took a sip of her drink. Ino shook her head. "Well, I know he really likes you. It's so obvious… And I thought you're the smart one!"
"Oi." She glared.
Ino laughed. "Don't worry, he probably is having hard time to show feelings in public. I mean, before he's just a cold-hearted bastard who wants to kill his brother for killing their family. Now he's changed. Because of you, Sakura." She patted her pink-haired on the head, treating her like a small child.
Sakura blushed. "I didn't do anything… it was…"
"Who?" Ino teased.
"Nothing…" She mumbled, her face nearly pink as her hair.
"…Take off your shirt!" Naruto said to Sasuke, grinning. The girls gushed through the crowd. Sakura frowned at Sasuke. Sasuke-kun is doing it… "Sakura-chan doesn't deserve you! I'm here to prove it to her!"
"Oh please…" Sasuke said impatiently, he took off his shirt, wincing a bit of the cold. Some girls nearly fainted. Sasuke ignored the fact. "There, you happy? Now, stop annoying me."
Ino appeared into the crowd. "Um… excuse me… But, er, where's Sakura? I couldn't find her." Sasuke blinked and rushed out of the crowd, ignoring everyone's shouts.
"Sasuke! You shouldn't go out! It's snowing pretty hard!" Ino shouted through the wind. Sasuke ignored her. Ino sighed. "Well, you got your answer, Sakura." With a smile, she ran into the house. Naruto looked confused.
"Here you are!" Sakura said happily, pointing at the large Christmas tree, smiling broadly. Her dad and her planted the tree when she was around three years old. She liked the tree very much. She had the little box behind her back. She sighed, "I wanted to decorate the tree with Sasuke-kun. Oh well… He is probably fighting with Naruto…" Not caring about me at all. She gasped as the big heavy snow fell on her. She rolled over, a pain struck her ankle; she tried to stand up. "Ow!" She cried out painfully. Her hand pressed onto her ankle, cursing under her breath.
This is the most stupid Christmas I've ever had! It's only me who still love him so much. He probably doesn't even know I'm gone! Why did he agree to date me anyway? Stupid Sasuke!
Stupid asshole!
She tried to kick the tree, completely forgotten about her ankle. She yelped in pain as her foot made contact with the hard object. She felt wet, hot tears running down her cheeks. I hate Christmas!
It couldn't be… Sakura turned around, forgot to wipe away her tears. "Sasuke-kun!"
He sighed and lies on the ground, looking tired. "Finally found you… You don't know how long I've been looking for you…" Sakura swallowed. She gasped as his fingers wiped away her tears. "You've been crying? Scared?" He smirked.
"N-No… I sprained my ankle…"
He sighed and got up. "What is it you want to ask me?"
"D-Decorating the tree…" She asked, blushing. Sasuke bent down and placed a hand on her head. "You should ask me earlier… I thought you like to tell me everything." That caused her to blush even more.
"Before…" Sakura started.
Sasuke turned around and looked at her.
"You're looking for me because… they told you to look for me?" Sakura bit her lower lip as the words escaped from her lips. He sighed and embraced her, resting her head against his chest. She gasped a little. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even bother look for you…" He looked at her with his dark eyes, bending down; he kissed her on the lips. His arms around her waist; her arms around his neck, she kissed him back in passion. As they broke up, both panting, she smiled and rested her head onto her shoulder. Ino, I finally understand now… you're right. His face buried into her hair. "We should go back. It's getting cold." Sakura took his hand and kissed him onto the cheek. "Merry Christmas, Sasuke-kun."Owari

Dealing with a Spouse's Constant Unfrugal Behavior
In a perfect world, you and your spouse would have the exact same habits and ideals when it comes to spending and saving money. However, this is not a perfect world and so if you fell in love with someone who spends money freely, and you tend to be a saver, you are not the only one. It can be incredibly frustrating knowing that while you work hard to save your money, your spouse is off buying the latest accessory or gadget. However, the good news is that there are several ways you can get a handle on an unfrugal spouse so that you do not have to lose anymore sleep over their overspending. Altering the spending habits of your spouse may seem like too big a task to handle. However, by following these tips, you can minimize the intimidating factor of reigning in your partner's splurging.
Talk to Your Spouse with Love
Don't start a conversation with your spouse by pointing out all of their faults or accusing them of overspending. Even if their behavior makes you angry, doing so will only drive you two apart and make it trickier to properly communicate. Instead, delicately bring up the topic of your spouse's spending habits. For instance, you may want to suggest watching your spending as a couple to begin the conversation. You could also mention that you would like to start saving for something big like a house or retirement. Make sure that your spouse knows you want to be a team in regards to your finances.
Get Rid of Credit Cards
Convince your spouse to put away their credit card and use cash instead to make all of their purchases. Often, you will find that over spenders tend to not think about credit as real money, and so they do not think about what happens when they run up their credit card until they get their bill. Talk to your spouse about becoming a debit-only family so that you can only spend money that you have. You may just find that his or her spending goes way down once he or she no longer feels they are not spending "real money."
Create a Budget
If you and your spouse have not yet created a budget, then now is a better time than ever to create one together as it can help to reign in his or her spending habits. On the other hand, if you do already have one, then it may be a good time to look it over and possibly revise it. Sit down with your unfrugal spouse to determine what your combined income is and how much your expense are. If you show your wife or husband how their frivolous spending is driving your family into debt, they may be willing to get on the right spending track.
Create Goals That Are Realistic
Once you have had a heart to heart with your spouse and have created a budget, it is time to think about your financial goals in the long-term. In order to stick to your budget and work towards something, creating a long-term goal will keep both of you motivated to save instead of spend. If your family is currently in debt, then a good place to start is to establish a goal to get out of debt. Once you have done that, create a goal to build an emergency fund, save for retirement, etc.
Figure Out a Way for Your Spouse to Control Spending
If you are able to get your spouse to see that they have been overspending, then that is only the half it, as you must then also help them to get control of their spending habits. One means of doing this is to allocate a certain amount of spending money for both of you each week. It's a good idea to put these funds into an envelope so that once you run out, you run out.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'R4 DS' started by r3gR3t, Dec 12, 2010.
Does anybody know if there's some kind of patch to translate Golden Sun Dark Dwan (J) to english??
the only english patch out there just changes some items text and other misc. that i don't remember.
besides, the (U) has been fixed for wood and ysmenu. (if you can use them...)
ugh great...
Wood runs totally fine on my r4 sdhc, but it doesn't load Golden Sun... Nor Alice In Wonderland...
Any other suggestions that don't involve buying the game or a new flash cart??

Adam Levine was left apologizing to a fan at a Maroon 5 concert in Canada on Monday (16Mar15) when a microphone he hurled in a rage over sound issues bounced off the stage and into her face.
During the gig at Toronto's Air Canada Center, the Moves Like Jagger hitmaker became frustrated after a short power outage and in video obtained by TMZ.com, the singer throws the mic to the ground and watched as it hit fan Stephanie Green, who was seated in the front row.
Levine immediate ran over to check on Green and apologized for causing injury to her forehead.
He told the crowd, "In my flustered state, I might have thrown my microphone on the ground and then it might have bounced off of the ground, into poor, sweet Stephanie's face. I felt so utterly terribly that I had perhaps wounded this young fan."
However, Green, who is now sporting a large bump where she was hit by the mic, is surprisingly upbeat after the incident, calling it "the best day".
In an interview with Toronto's CityNews, Green says, "My dream come true. I never thought in a million years this would happen to me.
"I was on stage, back and forth, freaking out," Green said. "He (Levine) hugged me… grabbed my face, held my hands! He kept apologizing. I said, 'I love you, I'm happy, I'm OK!'"
And Green isn't letting the injury deter her from going to future Maroon 5 shows, adding, "Once they announce the next concert, first thing... front row... anything can happen!"

Bottle enjoying the pretty lights at #LightTonightSG.

Plastic pollution is real, we see it everywhere yet a lot of us don't do anything about it. A lot of us then question – what can I do about it? The simple answer to that is – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
While travelling, we realised we were buying bottled water all the time. Moreover, you see these plastic bottles everywhere across several destination carelessly strewn across beaches, mountains, streams and cities. No part of our planet is spared of this plastic menace.
We decided to do something about it, to do our part and be more responsible towards our planet and everything in it, including us humans as a species.
The next time we travelled, we brought along a plastic pet bottle that we had purchased from IKEA Singapore for 90 cents. Till the time we reached the gates at the airport we had consumed the content. Instead of throwing it away, we saved it. During the length of our trip we filled it with tap water and brought it along whenever we stepped out. In fact, we still had the same bottle while flying back home. This first happened on our trip to UK. By following something as simple, we had avoided buying at least 10 new bottles of water and even saved some moolah. Bottled water is pricey in London and if we remember correctly, the price ranged from 4-8 pounds. That's insane! Why would you spend that when tap water is absolutely safe to drink.
On subsequent travels, we followed the same practice and brought along the very same bottle. Overtime we grew attached to that very pet bottle who by now, had become our travel buddy. We named her 'bottle' 😀
Bottle has had amazing adventures and travelled far and wide with us. Along with UK, she has been to New Zealand, South Africa and more recently to Japan. We post about her travels with #PetBottleTales on Instagram.
Bottle plans to join us on many more adventures and do her part in saving planet Earth.
See this fantastic video by The Story of Stuff Project and you will understand why you need to reduce, reuse and recycle.

(That building on the left is where I stayed.)
A view from the bridge!
*Wikipedia doesn't necessarily think the dressing was invented in the Thousand Islands. But who cares what Wikipedia thinks?
Wait, stop. Before I actually begin, I have to make a few things clear. 1. I was six when this happened. If the writing sounds like someone who's six, that's why. 2. Since I was six, I may not remember every little detail exactly as it happened. I think most of it's pretty close (if not totally accurate) but if it isn't, I'm sorry. I tried. 3. The pictures are scans of slides, hence the not-so-good quality. Also, some may be backwards. Also, some may not be Yosemite. Again, um, I tried. 4. Due to a request from my brother, this post has been edited.
See the waterfall? It's backwards, I think. On the left (should be right?)
Except that last part never happened. My short, six year-old self looked up, and up, and up, hoping to see the terrific force of nature of a thundering waterfall and instead seeing a small stream of water falling lazily over a rock. But the point of this post is not Yosemite Falls or even the lack of it. No, what I remember most about Yosemite involves the fires.
By reading about the 1990 fires at Yosemite I've learned that, as a park visitor, I was never in any actual danger. I wish someone had told me that then. Views of the park's famous mountains and valleys that summer often included an unexpected sight: there were apparently several large fires in addition to many smaller ones that announced their location with plumes of gray smoke. Although the fires were very real and obvious, the didn't ruin our trip. *In fact, my brother noticed and reported a fire which was a great thing to do and a definite positive memory. Way to go, my brother!* (Ah, that sounds silly. Oh well.)
I don't remember how many days we spent in Yosemite but I do remember driving in each morning and out each night, spending the days in a nature center and walking along trails. Well, that's how it was until our final (planned) day there. I think that last day was really only supposed to be half a day. In fact, my parents debated whether or not to go in that day at all. They decided that since we were there, we might as well make the most of it and go. Maybe that was a mistake.
I think my brother and I attended some kind of children's nature program that day. I know I spent some time coloring, only going out of the lines twice! In my (possibly not accurate) memory, that's where I was when I heard the news: all roads in and out of the park had been closed. All the people inside the park were stuck there.
What happened next is slightly blurry in my memory. I know my family split up; I went with my father to try to arrange some cot-sleeping situation for the night while my brother went with my mother with the hope of getting a room at The Ahwahnee Hotel*. More on that later.
Although I was an impatient six year-old at the time, I don't really remember the waiting that must have come next. Instead, my memory jumps forward to my father discussing some sort of lodging arrangement (I think cots, emergency style, or so I've been told) with someone official. It was at that moment that my brother ran up to us and told us not to bother with that: we had gotten a room at The Ahwahnee.
The Ahwahnee, in case you're not familiar with it, is Yosemite's very luxurious, very expensive hotel. Back then, rooms were about $200 per night (now they're about $500) which was, well, slightly more money and slightly more luxury than a family that often stayed at the Holiday Inn was used to. I think the available rooms were due to cancellations and, although staying there wasn't exactly the greatest experience ever, we were lucky to get the room. I just learned that the room-getting situation was a bit more complicated than that and made possible by a helpful stranger. Thanks, stranger, twenty years later.
Once again, my memory jumps forward a bit. Suddenly it was dinnertime and our option was the hotel's fancy restaurant. Thinking about it years later, I realize the restaurant's patrons probably weren't wearing tuxedos and ball gowns and we probably weren't the only family wearing jeans and t-shirts. And yet, I remember feeling awfully out of place--not to mention grubby--walking into that dining room.
Other than that, dinner is mostly a blur as is the evening. What I do remember is that there was a fruit basket in the room; I'd never seen that before (or since?) and, I don't know, I may have thought it was, like, for decoration or something. It wasn't. In my memory, that night didn't involve much sleep. For one thing, I was just a bit scared (I'm the scaredest of scaredy-cats) and I know I wasn't the only one.
When we went to bed that night, we didn't know how long we'd be stuck in the park. At about 6 the next morning, the phone rang and we found out: the park was being evacuated. I remember sitting in the backseat of the rental car as we inched our way out of the park in a long line of traffic. I think I was sitting on the right side, behind the passenger seat. There were brush fires and ash by the side of the road and, even though we were leaving the park, there was still an eerie feeling about the whole situation. I think parts of this story may have been embellished in the many tellings since it actually occurred; I don't know if there were really scarred and scared animals watching the cars leave or if there was just sympathy for all the creatures in danger.
Oddly enough, that's where my memory ends: driving out of Yosemite. I don't even remember exactly where we went next (Fresno?**) although I remember a whole lot more about that trip. But, again, we'll get there.
*The capitalization of "The" is theirs, not mine. I'm willing to go with it but I do think it looks a little weird.
**Confirmed. It was Fresno.
I recently purchased a book called Trails with Tales (I think? I don't have it with me) which consists of walking/hiking trails with neat stuff either geologically or historically or both. The book is published by a company near where I live and as far as I know, they publish a few similar books that I believe are all focused on this area (upstate NY). Perfect for me. I'm hoping to cover a lot of the "trails" both in person and on this here blog.
So far, I've done a couple including the place featured above. I don't remember the name of the park; it's in central NY and it's somehow connected with a school. The park is absolutely beautiful: it consists of several easily walked trails leading to streams, caves, and waterfalls. Of the places I've been, this area reminds me most of a place in Israel called Tel Dan. I'll be writing about that some day. Cool even in the hottest weather, fresh-smelling, full of rushing water and soft breezes. The waterfalls are especially beautiful, but maybe that's just because I love waterfalls.
This picture was taken at Petra, in Jordan. While I do plan to write a whole post on Petra, I'm much too tired for that now. And I have better pictures. So what can I say about this one? Well, not much actually. It's a ruin. It's very cool. It was disgustingly hot when I was there.
Okay, I'll talk about it just a little. If this post ends up not making sense, bear in mind I'm writing it at two in the morning. Petra, for anyone who might not know, is an ancient city in Jordan. It consists of sort of buildings built into rock (including this most famous one, the Treasury, which actually has nothing to do with money):
Recognize that from Indiana Jones?
There are also some more freestanding buildings (like the one above). Um, Petra is in a valley but it's mostly pretty open, if that makes sense. It's very sunny and someone got a bit sunburned and quite dehydrated there.
So, moral of the story? Don't go to Petra in July, if you can help it. If you do, wear a hat. And bring water. Be careful though, water does not stay cold.
Petra is, however, a really neat place to go. I really must try harder.

Botulinum toxin spread after intra detrusor injection. About two cases
Ms Morgane LE BERREa, Dr Hichem KHENIOUIa
a Groupement Hospitalier de l'Institut Catholique de Lille
It's in the wake of Brigitte Schurch's work that the indication of Botulinum Toxin (BoNT) developed in the treatment of Detrusor Hyperactivity (DH).
DH treatment by BoNT injection is considered to be well-tolerated.
However, in two patients treated with intradetrusor BoNT injections, a motor deficit located at the root of lower limbs was noticed. That observation raises questions about its diffusion beyond the injection site.
Observations :
They are two women with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) receiving BoNT as a treatment for DH.
On several occasions in post injection, an aggravation of the proximal motor deficit on the hip flexors was observed, which justified the realization of a SOLUMEDROL bolus in the event of relapses.
Discussion :
Ramirez-Castaneda et al(1) describe three means of dissemination of the BoNT : migration by systemic or neuronal transport, propagation and diffusion.
Migration by systemic transport: it has been established by electromyography (EMG) analysis. These subclinical manifestations are not correlated by EMG (2). This mechanism can't account for an isolated motor deficit.
Migration by axonal transport:animal experiments confirm the axonal transport of BoNT. On human subjects, Marchand-Pauvert et al, suggest its existence: reduction of the reciprocal inhibition exercised by Renshaw cells after BoNT injections (4).
Local dissemination of BoNT by diffusion and propagation :In the absence of direct connection between the iliopsoas and the bladder, this hypothesis looks compromised.
Synthesis:a retrograde migration of BoNT via hypogastric nerves seems to prevail. It could be followed by axonal anterograde transport causing a deficit on the hip flexors via the L2 nerve root.

Lake Sebu, the country's hidden gem, has long been set apart from the rest of the country's popular destinations. But this year, this "Summer Capital of the Southern Philippines" has made sure that travelers would re-discover its picture-perfect paradise!
In this episode, Sports Unlimited celebrated its passion for an active lifestyle by showing different sports for all ages. Starting off with a 12-hour multi-sports celebration for charity, Marc and Dyan joined fellow athletes and sports enthusiasts in the 8th Gabriel's Symphony Multi-Sport Celebration, a fundraiser organized by triathlete and Senator Pia Cayetano.
1.9-kilometer swim! 90-kilometer bike! 21.1-kilometer run! Sounds impossible to conquer in one day? Not really!
Sports Unlimited discovered more of Bukidnon's adventure mecca - Dahilayan Adventure Park! August 21, 2010
Sports Unlimited went all the way to the cool mountains of Bukidnon to try out Asia's longest dual zipline!
Dyan Castillejo revisits her high school alma mater- Colegio San Agustin (CSA) Makati. It's a stroll down memory lane where Dyan and her siblings spent their high school years, a very crucial period during their time as budding elite athletes.
MANILA, Philippines - There's a new place in town where adventure-seekers can go up in the air and fly like Superman.
MANILA, Philippines -- Knowing Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao, you can bet he will work very hard to make his campaign promises come true for the people of Sarangani. One of Manny's goals is to make Sarangani known all over the world as a haven for scuba diving.
MANILA, Philippines - The energy of athletes getting together, gearing up for a race is inspiring. These days, the whole family is part of the action--kids, moms and dads-- helping each other or doing the race together. I love the scene!

On Oct 24 we had great time in Paris with Soundinitiative collective playing Regnum animale in St Merri church, coorganised by La muse en circuit. Some pics here, a couple of videos by Soundinitiative here and here.
On 20-22 October 2014, I'll be in Rome for the XX CIM – Colloquio di Informatica Musicale, organised by AIMI. I'll present three papers:
And we'll also present the new book I co-edited with Stefano Bassanese: "Enore Zaffiri. Saggi e materiali".
See AIMI site for proceedings and Zaffiri page.
We will present a talk at SMC|ICMC joint conference about our project SoDA – Sound Design Accelerator, that is aimed at the automatic generation of soundscape from an annotated sound library as an aid to sound designer. The project is funded by Regione Piemonte on its Multimedia innovation programme. SoDA is lead by me at CIRMA, and includes Machiavelli, Celi, ZerodB. Marinos Koutsomichalis will present the talk. Special thanks also to my partner Paolo Armao.
My new project with Mauro Lanza, "Regnum vegetabile", for sextet and electro-mechanical objects, has been performed in Darmstadt, at Ferienkurse, and in Berlin, at Berghain. Commissioned and wonderfully played by Ensemble Mosaik. Looking forward to playing new concerts.
Some shots here, and a live recording here.
As SMET (School of Electronic Music of Conservatorio of Torino) and CIRMA/DAMS we organised a concert for disklavier and various setups. I participated with Orologio da rote (2014) for disklavier and 3 radios, a piece-installation dedicated to the notion of clocks and hours signals. Here some pics.
A piece from my album Vedute della Luna scritte in Braille has been broadcast on France Musique's Electromania show by David Jisse, Christian Zanesi, Christophe Bourseiller. C'est magnifique! Thanks to Nephogram/Franz Rosati.
With Simone Pappalardo we designed and create the Otosimbionte installation, a feedback system with some computational elements, mostly based on DYI analog electronics. Otosimbionte keeps changing and singing while going.

I'm very happy to see my new (old) album "Vedute della Luna scritte in braille" (rec in 2009) out for Nephogram editions. Inspired by Galileo's Sidereus nuncius, it's computer music without any digital sound in it, as it features only a rumentarium setup. Special thanks due to Franz Rosati, Paolo Armao, Francesco "Guru" Richiardi, Hairi Vogel.
The new Organised Sound issue dedicated to "Re-wiring electronic music" contains my article "Making Acoustic Computer Music: The Rumentarium project" that sums up four years of research with the Rumentarium setup. To be precise: Andrea Valle (2013). Making Acoustic Computer Music: The Rumentarium project. Organised Sound, 18, pp 242-254. doi:10.1017/S1355771813000216.

Uncle Ted slams our hands in the door on his way out

Well said, Josh. I certainly agree that the prison system in Oregon is broken and needs to be fixed. Hopefully, when the problems are considered, the disfunctional jail systems will also be included. It seems silly that in the 21st Century, we have a federal, state and local incarcaration system where none of the players pay attention to the other players. There is no good reason why the state prison system and the 36 or so local jails cannot be combined into a single system. In fact, prison systems are one of the few governmental functions that cry for centralization. Centralization would ensure that professional corrections officials are in charge of all people incarcerated and that all facilities are appropriately utilized. Now we have some facilities that are full while others lay idle and the officials in charge simply whine about not having "enough money". I would appreciate you pressing this reorganization.ReplyDelete

The idea of a $15 minimum wage is an ostensibly alluring one, but reality tells a different story about what such a policy creates.
Advertisement - story continues below
Minimum wage laws are essentially a price floor, meaning that for the cost of a person's labor, the government places a mandatory minimum value on that labor, regardless of what the labor is actually worth.
The job could be sharpening pencils, or anything you so desire; is pencil sharpening worth $15 an hour? Heck no!
Advertisement - story continues below
So, with our silly pencil-sharpener employee, let's make a hypothetical situation to explain the issue.
Pencil-sharpener gets paid $5.00 an hour to sharpen as many pencils as he can. He doesn't make much money, but he has a job for which he does get paid, and one where he will make important employer connections.
Advertisement - story continues below
Then along come Bernie and his ilk, saying that he deserves $15 an hour. Let's say that the minimum wage is increased to that amount. What happens to Mr. pencil-sharpener?
He gets fired, and the work which he was previously doing is farmed out to another employee who is lucky enough to remain with the company.
Businesses are not exempt from the laws of economics, no matter what law the government passes. A law governing the minimum wage will always be overridden by the law of supply and demand.
Advertisement - story continues below
As Henry Hazlitt writes in Economics in One Lesson,
You cannot make a man worth a given amount by making it illegal for anyone to offer him anything less. You merely deprive him of the right to earn the amount that his abilities and situation would permit him to earn, while you deprive the community even of the moderate services that he is capable of rendering. In brief, for a low wage you substitute unemployment.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders' supporters do not understand economics, not one bit. And they are trying to make economic policy based off of ignorance. And that is what is so dangerous about these economic illiterates.

There is a number – 72 – that I can't get out of my mind. It's the percent of airline loyalty programs ‑ 72% – that claim to have been victims of fraud.
I've used this number before, most recently in an article in which I shared a few thoughts about loyalty program fraud. The number came to mind again this week during a crisis communications webinar hosted by the Loyalty Fraud Prevention Association (LFPA).
Airlines and other industries are actively addressing fraud issues – and there is no better evidence than the 2016 formation of the LFPA. The association is working on several fronts, including sharing information about technology and business practices that will defend airlines and other industries from fraud, hacking and the theft of valuable points and miles.
I tend to think that program managers and their IT and risk management partners will eventually win the war against fraud, but in the meantime there is enormous pressure on all companies to develop, maintain and effectively implement crisis communications plans that will protect their brand as well as loyalty program members.
An example I used during the webinar was the late 2016 communications fiasco triggered by Yahoo when it divulged a security breach that may have involved more than one billion accounts. It turned out that the breach had been discovered in 2013 but went unreported and, worse still, followed a separate 2016 cybersecurity incident involving 500 million accounts.
At the time, Yahoo had reached an agreement to sell the company to Verizon for $4.8 billion. That price was quickly negotiated downward, presumably to the dismay of Yahoo equity owners. The brand was in tatters. But of course the real victims were Yahoo's users.
Quite apart from the security shortcomings, Yahoo broke major rules in the PR handbook, starting with its inexplicable delay in notifying users. But if its clumsy handling of the episode was of historic scope, the battlefield is littered with many examples of crisis PR failures – and some successes – in wake of data breaches.
In the LFPA webinar, I laid out a few guidelines that bear repeating:
I think the last two points were well illustrated earlier this week when Wells Fargo's new CEO followed up on last year's scandal involving an incentive program that prompted some employees to defraud many of the bank's customers. CEO Tim Sloan published an open letter thanking customers for their loyalty and to share progress on reforming its sales practices.
"As we work toward rebuilding the trust of our customers, team members, community partners, and shareholders," Sloan wrote, "we are committed to keeping our stakeholders informed. This is why we are not only thanking them, but also sharing the significant progress we have made to make things right, fix problems, and build a better Wells Fargo, recognizing much work remains that we are committed to do."
Given the mess in which Wells Fargo found itself, I think Sloan took a significant step to repair some of the damage to the battered brand. Importantly, his letter sounded as if it came from a thoughtful and engaged human being. This type of action illustrates the importance of not just working with a plan, but also having an authentic voice and tone that will connect on an emotional level with customers affected by – or appalled by – egregious corporate shortcomings.

One Fat Guy on a Big Orange Bike riding and loving it. Here I talk about biking and everything related to it.

Getting Twitchy
For the last two and half weeks I haven't been able to ride my bike and I have to tell you, I'm getting twitchy. By the looks of things it will be another couple days before I will be back on the bike.
The good news (if there can be any) is that I can really feel my shoulder starting to heal up so no doubt I will undo all that good work once I get back on the bike. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be back to my normal posting schedule (mon-fri) and will have something of interest for you all. I have several Ideas brewing from my long hiatus from riding so finding material should not be a problem.
One thing I want to say, I spent a little time in NYC in and around times square and I have to say that I never realized how few people in Pittsburgh Pa (where I am from) ride bikes. I was stunned at the number of, and varied style of the many many times many bikes I saw, not to mention the sheer amount of bike parking, bikes were locked up everywhere. It made me understand just how far we have to go in Pittsburgh, as well as just how far we have come.

I love these Easter eggs. Such beautiful decorations and a craft activity the kids can get involved in.
This was orignally posted in Bored Panda with a link to a foreign website for the explanations. I could not understand it so I improvised!
You will need some eggs, small fresh flowers, leaves etc…, sewing thread, old nylon socks/tights, a big pan and some colours (see below).
1) Decide on a pattern and slight wet your flowers, leaves, grass etc… so you can stick them around the eggs.
2) Once the foliage is in place put each egg in an old nylon socks/tights secured on each end with some sewing thread.
3) Boil the eggs in a large pan of boiling water. Add 1 to 2 tbs of white vinegar and the colour of your choice (see below). Cook until you get the desired colour.
For the colour you can experiment with adding to the boiling water in your pan:
- Brown: Black Tea bags
- Brown/Orange: Onions peels
- Orange: Paprika
- Violet: Red Onions
- Red/Pink: Juiced raw beetroot
- Yellow: Turmeric
- Green: Juiced spinach or liquid chlorophyll
- Purple/Blue: Red cabbage cooked until the water is very coloured (add some baking soda for more blue)

Chapter One: Small town for Small Minded People.
I sighed as I walked to the address written on my little crumpled piece of note paper. I looked up at the house numbers, then back at the paper, and continued walking, mumbled things about my stupid parents not coming to pick me up and all.
"1994, 1996, 1999, ah- what the hell? Where's 1998?" I looked around the area, then back at the paper. I blinked, then slowly turned the little crumpled up piece of paper.
I twitched, and glared at the smudged writing that was written with ink. I sighed heavily, then started walking the other way.
"Greeaaaat... I was supposed to be at home along time ago, and now i'm supposed to be in class... This is just awesome..." I mumbled to myself, "It's bad enough that I had the Address upside down... AND I mistaken that seven for a stupid six..." I glared at the ground, walking a bit faster.
After a long time of searching, I finally found my home. I knocked on the door, and got no answer. I shrugged and picked the lock, and walked in.
"HelllloooOoOo?" I called, looking around the house.
No one in sight.
I blinked, then noticed a note on the table. I walked over to it, and grabbed it. After reading it once, twice, and a third time, I crumpled it.
"I don't believe it, Fuck!" I swore, throwing it on the ground, then walking up to my room that I would have to share with my brother.
I sighed as I dropped my bags on the ground, and sat on the bed. I looked over to the clock. 'It's almost lunch...' I thought, staring at the clock, listening to it tick. I got up, and made my way down stairs and into the kitchen.
I randomly helped myself, and made a sandwich. I put the things back to their rightful place, and just ignored the signs as to where they should be put and stuff.
I grabbed my bag and put my notebook and pens in it, chewing on a piece of the bread. I swung it over my shoulder and walked to the door.
After a while, I found my school, and it is currently lunch time, 'Score! I made it just in time!' I thought, smirking, and wiping the crumbs from around my mouth. I walked inside and down to the cafeteria, hoping my brother would be there.
I opened the doors, and scanned the area, and saw no sign of him. I sighed, and turned around, about to leave.
"Hey!," I heard a voice call, I turned too see who it was, "Butters! Wh-.." the "big" boy stared, eyes wide. Then he started laughing loudly, getting the attention of the many people in the cafeteria. I blinked, then arched an eyebrow at him.
"Bu-Butters! Why are you dressed like that?" he laughed, holding his stomach. I blinked, "Butters?..." I stared at him.
"Hahah-.. wait, what?" he laughed, but was slowly stopping.
"I'm not 'Butters'..." I said, then looked at my nails, "And by 'Butters', Do you mean Leopold?" I stared blankly at him.
He stared at me, "Wh- who the hell are you, then? His twin?" he glared at me.
I smirked slightly, "Well, you could say that..." I was amused by his shocked expression. I turned when I heard the door open, I blinked as I watched my beloved brother walk in, almost tripping.
"O- Oh, hey fella's! Wha-... Li- Liira?" Leopold stared at me with wide eyes.
"Yo, Leo." I said, waving at him.
He rushed over, then grabbed me, and dragged me out the lunch area.
"Wahh!" I got pulled quickly.
I could tell that the cafeteria was silent, because I am standing behind the closed doors with my brother. I sighed, and stared at my brother, bringing my hand up and resting it on my hip.
"What, Leo?" I arched an eyebrow, tilting my head at him.
"Liira, your here!" he exclaimed, hugging me.
"A- ah!" I blushed slightly and looked around, making sure no one saw. "You weird, weird boy!" I said, pushing him away.
"Bu- But! I missed you! You said that you weren't gonna come back!" he said, crossing his arms, attempting to look mad, but failing.
I rolled my eyes, "Please, Leo, That was when I was what?... 4? 5?..." I looked at the ceiling in thought, then shook my head.
"It's not my fault that mum and dad didn't like me when I was younger and decided to put me into a brat camp." I used the air quotes, rolling my eyes yet again. "Anyways!, that doesn't matter, what matters now is that i'm here, right?" I smiled slightly.
He brightened up, and hugged me again.
"Okay, seriously, stop doing that, it's getting creepy..." I said, pushing him away for the second time in at least five minutes.
"Sorry.." he mumbled, but was still smiling anyways.
I smiled back, and turned to go back into the cafeteria, but bumped into someone. "Ouch.." I held my nose, glaring up at the person. "Do you mind?" I sighed, annoyed.
"Out of my way, Cock sucker!" A dude glared down at me.
I raised an eyebrow, "Oh, it's you again," I mumbled, suddenly disinterested in everything around me.
"So, what do you want?" I smiled at him.
He blinked, then glared at me, "To get out of my way.
"You don't know how to simply move?" I questioned, staring at my nails.
"Whatever, you bi-"
"Well look, if it isn't Cartman." A girl said from behind him.
I leaned over to see the girl.
She was standing there, her arms on her hips, standing next to a shorter boy.
I blinked, "Christophe?"
"Hmm?" He looked at me.
I bit my lip, and started laughing, "Yo- You sound Frenchier than ever!" I laughed again, wiping tears away from my eyes.
"Ahh, I haven't seen you in over 4 years, or something." I said, then looked at the taller girl standing beside him.
"Oh, helloOoOo Are you his girlfriendOoOo?" I paused, and stood on the tip of my toes, "Dude, your tall." I said, failing and giving up,
"We've been in a relationship for two years, now." She said, giving me the bird. I blinked at her,
"Sorry, it became a habbit..." She said, putting her hand by her side.
I made an 'Oh' face, "I see." I laughed slightly.
I turned to Christophe, and glared at him, "Why didn't you tell me that your hooked up?" I huffed at Christophe.
"I accidently lost your email." He said, sighing.
"Pffft, it was written on your wall, remember?" I rolled my eyes at him.
He blinked, "It.. was?..."
".. Oh, yes, now I remember." He said, looking at the ceiling. He paused, then looked at me. "You know, I hate attack dogs."
I arched an eyebrow, "Umm, did you hit your head or something? Because I already know that, and mostly everything about you." I said.
By now, most of the people in the hall had left, because they wanted to see a fight, but alas, they didn't get one.
I looked behind me, Even Cartman was gone.
I shrugged, and casually continued talking with the two.
"Oh, I should most likely go to my English class..." I mumbles, staring at the clock.
"Alright, we're gonna skip, see yaOoOo" Angel said, walking away, holding hands with Christophe.
I smiled lightly, then left for class.
"Let's see... Room 109, 109... 106, 7, 8, and Ni- Ahn!" I crashed into someone, and fell to the ground.
"Gawddammit!" I cursed, standing and dusted myself off. "Stupid freaking floor and bumps..." I mumbled under my breath, glaring at the ground.
"Sorry." I mumbled, then looked up,
I blinked, and stared at the girls face.
"Ah, i'm really sorry!" She said, rubbing the back of her head.
"Oh, it's okay..." I blinked again, then shook my head.
"Stupid girl, you should watch where your going! Running into my girlfriend like that!" I heard a familiar voice behind her.
I took a step aside from her, and stared at the face, that i've seen for the third time this day.
"Oh, Cartman, was it?" I stared at him.
"Eric, your supposed to be nice, remember!" She said, grabbing his hand and kissing him on the cheek quickly.
I blinked, "Awww, how cuteOoOo" I smiled innocently.
He glared at me, but with a tinge of red on his cheeks. "Let's go, Dorothy." He mumbled, grabbing her hand again, and walking past me.
I walked into class, thinking about how people like to travel in 'pairs' or 'groups'.
I saw in an avalable seat, and pulled out my notebook out of my backpack.
I glaced up at the board, and copied down the notes the teacher gave us. I paused, then looked back up quickly.
I raised my hand in the air.
"Oh, yes? The answer is?" She smiled at me.
"Huh? Oh, wait, what? Uhh, Megan Fox? Anyways, Aren't you Dorothy's mother? You two look alike."
She blinked, "Oh yes, I am." She smiled again.
"Oh, it's nice to meet you." I smiled back, casually shaking her hand.
"Haha, okay, getting back to the lesson." She laughed and continued talking about whatever.
I leaned by cheek against my palm, and continued writing down notes.
I paused, and glared down at my mistake, I took my horrid eraser, and tried to erase it, but it just smudged it.
I sighed, "Oi, could I borrow your eraser thingy?" I asked the dude sitting beside me.
He turned and gave me the finger.
I stared at his middle finger, then glanced up at his face, then back down at his finger.
I bit down on it, hard.
"Ow, What the fuck!" He swore, pulling his finger away.
"That's what you get, now give me the eraser." I said, grabbing it and erasing what I needed to do. I tossed it back on his desk, and continued doing work.
