It is true when they say "It's not just the cars, it's the people." The KCRPCA routinely gathers to celebrate the friendships we have made along the way. And, in doing so we have a full calendar throughout the year. Spring brings our formal salute to our board members with the Changing of the Guard, and beers with friends as we watch the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Summer is full of bar-b-que dinners, ice cream socials, and exploring new restaurants. Fall can find us gathering at museums, celebrating Oktoberfest, or awarding trophies at the All German Car Show. Not even winter stops us, as we gather for the annual Holiday Party. We have something for everyone, no matter what the season.

The Exponential Life
The Exponential Life
"There's got to be something more than this."
These were the words that would show up again and again in my life.
I was successful, people admired my success, but it didn't matter. It meant nothing because "there's got to be something more than this."
It was a recurring thought, a recurring pattern.
I did things that looked impossible to most people.
At the age of 25 I managed an $18 million budget in a company where I didn't have a title. Except that I was a leader, enrolling people in projects bigger than they could have imagined or thought possible at one of the top corporations on the planet.
I was the right-hand person to a family of billionaires. I organized their team, I ran their family office, I coordinated and liaised with extraordinarily successful professionals, highly accomplished in their field, and I lead them with a sense of confidence. I was a trusted advisor for 6.5 years.
I worked for an asset management company in the City of London, setting up a new part of the company. I took that company from $5 billion of assets under management to over $6 billion of assets under management in under 15 months.
I can count many experiences as my accomplishments, because the theme is that I create things that don't exist. It's what I do.
These are the stories that people might know about me, but what most people don't know about me is that I don't have a high school diploma.
Most people don't know that my childhood was so traumatic that I was never told by anybody (because no one cared enough to literally sit down and tell me) that these things are impossible.
Jenny Calcoen
The Exponential Life
Is this you:
You feel that so much more is possible for you, especially "impossible" goals.
You are not lonely, but you frequently feel alone, even though you are surrounded by people.
Your success is admired but secretly you are bored.
You are very successful in some areas of your life, and struggle in others.
You have turned your light down (or off), because you have learned to "fit in".
You crave being surrounded by other high achievers.
When you think in terms of
, not
, you stand out, you fly, you accomplish things that look impossible to most people.
I think in impossibles.
I'm not intimidated by people or circumstances.
It's my gift.
I have done it my entire life and I help other people do the same thing.
It is a way of being that can be learned and it can be taught.
I work with people who live a default life and help them live an exponential life.
You have done incredible things in your life, and yet you take them for granted, despite the admiration of people around you.
Inside of you, deep down, lives a pain that goes back many years, an emptiness of "never enough" a sense of "there's got to be something more than this."
If that's you, we should talk.

Did you recently get married and are on the lookout for a good honeymoon getaway? Looking out for your next vacation destination with your special someone? If you are looking out for the perfect romantic place to do all these, then Italy just might be your best bet. Deemed as one of the most romantic places in the world, Italy is the most perfect spot for your honeymoon or romantic vacation. This country has always impressed people with its culture and history along with its dreamy and quixotic sights and sounds.
Otherwise known as the Eternal City, Rome is one of the many places in the country that is teeming with history, heritage, and romance. Check into a small bed and breakfast accommodation, go for coffee breaks together, look for treasures in their markets, and stroll through their clean streets.
There are also so many opportunities to wine and dine in posh restaurants in the city. During the evening, dress up and enjoy food courses of only the finest dishes and wines. Afterwards, you can walk hand in hand through the city or grab a ride and enjoy the beautiful landmarks and ambience of Rome during the hours of the evening.
With its winding canals, narrow streets, and lovely gondolas, Venice sure is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. This small but beautiful city is nothing but a lovers' paradise. One of the biggest attractions in this city is the Marco Cathedral. Along with this stunning structure are a multitude of piazzas, churches, and squares.
Venice offers lovers with dreamy restaurants where they can have a tasty dinner for two along with romantic cafes where they can have cups of coffee in the afternoon. For a little more fun and excitement, couples can also visit this city for the annual Carnecvale or Mardi gras festivals.
A charming village that amazingly takes the shape of a half-moon, the city of Portofino is best known for its pastel-colored houses, restaurants, and cafes. This city is thought to be the place for the rich and famous but Portofino is so much more than this. Shops, cafes, restaurants, and hotels fill the place up along with avenues for hiking, boating, and diving.
It is located beside the sea so couples can enjoy the pristine waters that house its aquatic life that is teeming with plants and fishes. A romantic castle that sits at the top of a village right next to a tiny church, this fairy tale-like scene would be the perfect place for a romantic stroll. Scenic pathways lead the way to the lighthouse.
The scenic town of Positano is built on the face of a cliff, giving visitors breathtaking views of the sea. This city started out as a small fishing village that was a very famous destination for artists and writers. It growing popularity has made it into the fashionable resort that it is now.
Positano is a pedestrian town which means that it is teeming with lots of stairs that surround avenues of beautiful pastel-colored houses along with colorful flowers and vegetation. There are a lot of romantic restaurants in the area that offers the tastiest seafood dishes as lovers dine with the picture-perfect views of the town and sea.

The stability of your home's structure is directly dependent on the stability of the soil beneath it. Sadly, the soil on which homes are built is not always stable. When the soil begins to shift, the foundation of your home can become compromised. There are many factors that can contribute to a shifting foundation. The most common of these factors are unstable soils, poor drainage and plumbing leaks, poor grading or compaction and tree roots.
As anyone who has ever tried to plant a garden here knows, the southeast is full of clay-rich soils. These soils may be good for hot peppers and peanuts, but they are very damaging to foundations. Clay-rich soils expand and contract when the moisture changes. You may find that cracks in your home become more prominent before or after it rains or when the weather changes. This is because clay-rich soils are "elastic" in nature. In other words, they expand and contract as moisture is absorbed or evaporated. When the soil around your home becomes saturated with water, the clay expands and loses density. This condition allows the foundation to sink much the same as you would standing in wet mud… read more

MacKenzie Peck Exhibition at the Creative Alliance
I will be in a two-person exhibition, "Time Bandits", at The Creative Alliance at the Patterson in Baltimore, Maryland this May. This is a major opportunity for me because it is my first large exhibition since graduating from Maryland Institute College of Art. As a recent graduate, I must often make compromises in the production of my artwork due to a lack of funds. For this reason, it is unlikely that I will be able to execute this exhibition as I imagine it. However, with your help I will be able to accomplish my ideas as they were meant to be.
Your generous contribution will fund various aspects of my creative process for this exhibition. With your funds I will be able to frame and print photographs that have never been shown because I could never afford it. The raw materials for my sculptures are costly and not easily acquired. Your pledge will allow me to purchase more raw materials and therefore make more work. As an arts professional I am aware of the implications and nuances of how works of art are typically displayed. For this reason I will be constructing pedestals and other methods of display that are custom made for my sculptures.
Keep up with my progress on my blog where I have a weekly update called "Studio Notes." Click here.
And view my artwork, resume and bio on my website. Click here.
For a basic understanding of my artistic goals I've included my artist statement below:
1. Use technology to facilitate the discovery of the self through a hallowed relationship with nature.
3. Create objects, provoked by an innate fear of death, that possess and perpetuate small memories not preserved in books. These small memories, which I believe are what make us unique, are fragile and vanish with us in death.
4. Collage together experiences, memories and histories as a way to emphasize the deficiencies of human perception, the shortcomings of technology, and the inadequacy of art making.
5. Sustain a sincere, albeit delusional, pursuit to achieve enlightenment and posses the sublime.
6. Essay a doomed ambition to reproduce excerpts of the human experience with identical vividness and complexity.
Below are some examples of what your contribution will go toward:
Improvements for "The Power Of Twenty-Seven," 2011, 60x36x6x.5" including adding a layer of sand and layers of glass. I would also like to reproduce and frame all twenty-seven 4x6" photos in a long row to be displayed on a wall nearby this floor installation.
Printing and framing a photographs such as the one below in two sizes: 43x66" and 5x3".
The production and display of another "Star Mask," similar to this one:
Printing and framing of six 32x23" images from my "Cyanotype Print Series."

The PN-11 extension tube is a companion accessory to the amazing, popular and very long-lived Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Ai-S lens. This lens was introduced in the early '80s but it's still in production up to this day. Having said that, the PN-11 is obviously in-production as well. You have to buy the PN-11 separately which doesn't make sense since it is so vital to the Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Ai-S's performance and it is needed for the lens to achieve a 1:1 (almost) reproductive ratio. Why Nikon sold these separately, I don't know.
Here are pictures of the PN-11.
The difference between this one and the other extension tubes like the M rings is this one has a rotating tripod collar. It is very well-built and can definitely take a lot of abuse. The collar is finished in rubberised crinkle-finish and It can be easily damaged to be careful.
The PN-11 can still be nought new around the world and is being sold for around $90 here in Japan. I find that price ridiculous so I looked for one from the junk section. I got this one after a couple of days' of searching and sure enough, it is as advertised – a junk. The inside was mouldy and the aperture coupling tab is not returning to it's position when pressed. I was not even sure if this should have a spring action so I didn't really take this seriously. I got this for a bargain price anyway so I am not going to complain much.
Before We Begin:
If this is the first attempt at opening a lens then I suggest that you read my previous posts regarding screws & drivers, grease and other things. Also read regarding the tools that you will need in order to fix your Nikkors.
I highly suggest that you read these primers before you begin (for beginners):
- Essential tools
- Best practices 1
- Best practices 2
- Best practices 3
- Ai conversion
- Working with Helicoids
Reading these primers should lessen the chance of ruining your lens if you are a beginner. Also before opening up any lens, always look for other people who have done so in Youtube and the internet. Information is scarce, vague and scattered (that is why I started this) but you can still find some information if you search carefully.
I highly recommend that you also read my working with helicoids post because this is very important and getting it wrong can ruin your day. If I can force you to read this, I would. It is that important!
For more advanced topics, you can read my fungus removal post as a start. This post has a lot of useful information here and there and it will be beneficial for you to read this.
About Me:
I am a photographer based in Tokyo who scours the junk section of the camera shops here on a regular basis. I started this hobby of fixing old lenses and cameras because I kept on getting scammed before when I purchase online. This turned out to be a blessing because I now buy junk lenses for a fraction of the price and then fix them to add to my growing now collection. This allowed me to buy gear that were otherwise off-limits to me if I were to get them in better condition.
I was a scale modeller before who built models for other collectors for a very longtime, got an education as a dental prosthodontist (but didn't pursue dentistry) and growing up in a watch repair shop gave me the useful skills that would help me in this craft. Fixing my car also contributed some know-how.
Having mentioned the above, I will tell you now that I am not a professional repairman! So please take what I do with a grain of salt and I will never be held responsible for anything wrong that will happen to you and your project. I hope that the pros would guide and teach us but nobody is writing anything.
As my collection of repair notes grew, I get requests from people with similar interests and from professionals who just needed some notes just in case. Now, I am sharing my library with you for your entertainment and reference. I hope that you find my work useful.
IMPORTANT! Before I begin, I would like to warn you that I opened this thing up from the wrong side. This is best opened from the front instead of the back like what I did, I did not have anything to read so I am clueless as to how I should go about opening this thing. With that said, please DO NOT follow my steps but only use these as a guide so that to help you go about dismantling this thing. Remember, begin working on this thing from the front!
After reading my caveat, I will assure you that this thing is not complicated at all, you only have to be careful with the spring on the front.
The rear bayonet can be removed by getting rid of these screws. Mine came off easily but if yours are glued then you would need to place a drop of solvent first.
There's nothing connected to the rear bayonet mount so you do not have to worry about it pulling anything while you pull it from the barrel.
The notch on this ring should be mated to this pin. Be careful when you put this back later because you might damage these if you force the bayonet in while these aren't properly set in place.
The outer barrel comes off with the rotating collar. Dirt and grime gets collected under the seams and edges so clean it properly with alcohol and some Q-tips.
The inner barrel is the one responsible for coupling what's connected on both ends of the PN-11. Be careful when you remove this because the spring is connected to this part. If you started from the front then you should be able to remove the spring before you even get to this part. Remember, I opened this from the wrong end!
OK, I ruined the spring. I would not have known about it anyway since this barrel was not moving when I got this and I never thought that there's a spring in there. Now, It may be that somebody else opened this thing before and ruined the spring and not me, but at this point, who knows? It's too late to care about it anyway. Besides, this was being peddled as junk.
It's now time to clean the rotating collar! This part is usually the thing that collects dirt so we must clean this properly so that this ring rotates smoothly. Make sure that the knob is not tightened and pull the collar from the barrel.
On one side (bottom) of the collar you will find these small parts, a bearing ball and a cap. This mechanism is responsible for the clicks when you turn the tube. Be careful not to lose any part when you pull the collar from the barrel.
The cap is at the top, followed by the bearing ball and finally to the spring inside the hole in the collar. This is delicate to be patient when you reassemble this part, it actually took me a couple of tries to get this right when I put the inner barrel back.
There is another way of putting the spring mechanism back and that is through this screw underneath. I do not want to bother with it so I skipped this.
The knob itself doesn't require cleaning in most instances but mine was dirty underneath so I decided to clean this thing anyway. I grabbed the screw securing it with a nejisaurus plier and twisted the knob until it came off.
I am not sure if you can see it from this picture but the hole for the knob is dirty and that's the reason why the knob felt "gummy".
The innermost barrel where the stop-down lever is situated is secured by 3 screws and this is one of them.
Removing the said screws will free this assembly from the front assembly. The stop-down lever goes into the slot over there in case you do not know where it should go. Just look at that spring, I definitely ruined it.
The front bayonet mount can be removed by getting rid of these screws. This should be the first step if you want to open the PN-11 correctly.
The front assembly comes in 3 parts, the bayonet mount, the front ring and the inner ring.
OK, I hope that you are not confused at this point. I could've written this in reverse order but that would confuse you even more since you are seeing parts of the PN-11 that should not even be there. You can choose to follow my guide from the last step up to the first step if you prefer it that way.
This isn't really a difficult thing to take apart if you start from the front since this is really simple and consists of less than 10 major parts. The only thing that you should be careful of is the spring and how things should line-up under the front assembly.
This is how the spring should be laid out with the rotating barrel and the inner part of the front assembly. If you opened this from the front then this will be the first thing that you should see.
This is one of the more unusual articles that I have written. I am sure that somebody will find this useful. Somewhere in this world, somebody else probably bought a stuck PN-11 so he would definitely want to take it apart and for that person alone I would spend my night writing this.
Next week, we will be looking into another Nikkor. So please check out the next article, Ric.

Becoming An Effective IT Coach
In the new book, Coaching Agile Teams (Addison-Wesley/available now), author Lyssa Adkins provides several guidelines to explain how IT project managers can transform themselves into "Agile Coaches" for their teams – and get optimal outcomes as a result. A useful quote from General Dwight D. Eisenhower: "In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless but planning is indispensable." Translation? "Controlling" a team through a pre-determined blueprint is not possible. Coaching a team to be effectively agile in light of change is not only possible, it's necessary. But what defines success? It means more than delivering on time, within budget, and on scope. The true measure of success lies in getting clients the business value they. The differences between a "tech project lead" and an "agile coach" are important to understand. A tech project lead knows about programming and development and such, and can teach those things, while an agile coach pays equal attention to organizational goals, and cultivates the understanding and value of these things within the team.

What causes scars?
Scar tissue is composed of collagen that forms as the body begins to heal from a trauma. It serves an important function, similar to that of stitches to close a large wound. The scar reconnects damaged or broken tissues, allowing them to heal. It becomes problematic when excess scar tissue is formed, or remains after it has served its purpose. Like stitches, scar tissue is no longer needed when the healing process is complete.
Most scars occur on the skin, and they may extend deep into the tissue if the injury was deep. Genetics, skin type, and the location of the wound also have an effect on the amount of scarring. The most common cause of scars is injury, though they can also be caused by surgery, burns, or even skin conditions such as acne or chicken pox.
Types of scars
Just as each person's skin is unique, each scar is a little different. However, there are four main classifications:
- Keloid scars are formed as part of the healing process. They may occur following events such as surgery, injury, body piercing, skin eruptions, or insect bites. Occasionally they seem to appear spontaneously, with no known triggering factor. Keloids are raised above the surface level of the skin, and they feel firm to the touch. They often extend beyond the initial injury.This type of scar may be red, dark brown, or pink in color. They appear most commonly on the ear lobes, chest, or back, but they can develop in other areas. Keloid scars do not pose a risk to your overall health but at times they can be painful and itchy. For many people they can be a serious cosmetic concern as well.
- Hypertrophic scars occur when the healing process is overactive. They are typically red in color and raised. Unlike keloid scars, they do not extend beyond the area of the initial wound. Most hypertrophic scars respond to treatment very well, and some may even fade away naturally.
- Contracture scars most commonly occur where the skin has been burned. They are made of hard tissue, and tend to cause surrounding tissue to contract. These scars can sometimes inhibit movement, depending on the location and size of the scar. They may affect the nerves, tendons, or muscles as well as the skin. Incorporating exercise as part of burn therapy can help prevent the formation of contracture scars.
- Acne scars often occur in individuals with severe, untreated acne, particularly if they pop or pick at their pimples. The scars remain long after the acne breakout clears up, although they may diminish or disappear over time. There are several types of acne scarring: Atrophic scars are recessed, hypertrophic scars are raised, and pitted scars are narrow holes punched into the skin similar to those from an ice pick.
Scar treatment at Dr. W Dermatology
There are several methods of treating scars. The best choice depends on the type, size, location, and severity of the scar. It is important to understand that some scars are permanent, at least to an extent. Treatment can alter the size, color, and extent of a scar, making it less noticeable and easier to disguise with cosmetics. We will begin by evaluating your condition, and then recommend the most effective treatment options. If necessary, we will refer you to a skilled plastic surgeon, when an extensive scar revision procedure is required.
The sooner you visit us, the better. Scars can be treated at any stage, but the best results can be achieved by beginning treatment while the injured area is still healing.
Scar treatments include:
- Surgery – Several different surgical options are available, depending on the scar, including Z-plasty (surgical removal). Triangular incisions are made to surrounding skin, and carefully closed for a more natural appearance.
- Laser resurfacing – This procedure may reduce the size and improve the coloring of some scars. The procedure is comfortable, and relatively fast to perform.
- Steroids – The tough collagen fibers in scar tissue break down when injected with steroid-containing formulas, which softens the scar. A series of injections is scheduled, usually every four to six weeks. The duration of treatment is different for each person, but it is usually somewhat long-term. Due to the nature of scar tissue, very little, if any of the solution enters the bloodstream, it does not pose a risk.
- Skin grafting – In this procedure, the doctor moves healthy skin from one area of the body (the donor site) to another area (the recipient site). This technique may be used to improve severe scarring; however, it is important to note that there is a risk the grafted skin will differ from the surrounding area in color or texture.
We understand that prominent scars can cause embarrassment, often attracting curious glances and unwanted questions. Although a scar is a sign that physical healing has occurred, many people need scar revision to facilitate emotional healing. Let us help. Call Dr. W Dermatology at (281) 771-0494 and schedule an appointment today.

Sailing Amongst the StarsImage and description courtesy NASA
Making the stuff of science fiction into reality, NASA engineers are testing solar sails--a unique propulsion technology that one day could enable deep space missions. Much like the wind pushing a sailboat through water, solar sails rely on sunlight to propel vehicles through space. The sail captures constantly streaming solar particles, called photons, with giant sails built from a lightweight material. Over time, the buildup of these particles provides enough thrust for a small spacecraft to travel in space.
This image is of a four-quadrant solar sail system, measuring 66 feet on each side that is being tested in the world's largest vacuum chamber at NASA's Glenn Research Center at Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio.
If they can figure out how to power multi-ton space vehicles, then surely, tiny Earth cars can be done, too!

A clear distinction exists among pet owners who invest in professional care for their animals and those that prefer a do-it-yourself approach to save money. You can buy shampoo and cleaning supplies to groom your dog at home. However, you and your pet experience several important benefits when you invest in professional dog grooming.
Proper Equipment, Supplies and Cleaning Processes
To achieve the same beautiful look and pleasant smell that you get from a professional groomer, a pet owner must buy expensive equipment and cleaning supplies.
A quality pet groomer has all the resources and trained staff to give your dog the best visual appearance and smell. A DIY approach does not get the deep cleaning results, so your dog still has hidden dirt and briefly masked smells.
Safety and Protection for Everyone
Novice grooming may lead to scrapes, scratches and bruises for your dog, which contributes to a lack of trust. The professional makes safety a top priority during hair and nail grooming.
If you do not trim nails well, your dog may scratch you or your furniture. Expert grooms trim nails to the right level, which improves your pet's health and protects you and your stuff.
A Happier Dog
Dogs have emotional states just as humans do. When people get professional grooming at the salon, they feel refreshed and confident. Dogs experience similar mental benefits after a professional grooming service. A dog with long hair also feels relief from the hot sun with a quality hair cut. A pet owner is more likely to play with a dog that looks good and smells great as well.
Preventative Health Maintenance
In the course of grooming your dog, an expert pet care provider recognizes diseases and illnesses. A skin condition may signal an emerging problem. A less qualified owner may miss these signals, which leads to delays in getting treatment and protecting against major illnesses or fatality.
Regular expert pet grooming may save you money in the long-term if it leads to improved mental and physical health for your animal. More importantly, a professional groomer has the resources and abilities to give your dog its best appearance. Experts put safety first and ensure nails get trimmed to the appropriate length for safety purposes.
A happy dog makes for a happier home. An investment in professional grooming is modest compared to the returns you get from a cuddly companion.

What lay beneath is still off limits at New Melones, other dwindling lakes
For decades, bits and pieces of local history and the ghosts that guard them remained deep beneath the murky waters of New Melones Reservoir, Lake Don Pedro, Folsom Lake and other man-made drowners of artifacts.
And now that the water levels are way down – courtesy of, among other things, the drought and trout – there's an opportunity to go relic hunting, right? Get out the metal detector and see what lies beneath the layers of silt? Trowel an old metal button out of the mud and jump around in a over-the-top, well-rehearsed glee like the guys in the up-the-dial cable TV show, "Diggers"?
Wrong – at least not on publicly owned lands, and the reservoirs are all publicly owned. In fact, it is strictly prohibited. People can stroll through places like the old town of Melones, part of which already is exposed with more and more each day as the surface of the lake drains its way down to the old Highway 49 bridge. It should surface later this month or early in October.
North of Columbia State Park, they can walk down to the old Parrotts Ferry Bridge, which has been out of the water for more than two months and draws dozens of visitors daily. And you might find archaeological artifacts while you're there, including remnants from the days when ferries crossed the Stanislaus River at Parrotts and Melones, the latter also known as Robinson's Ferry.
But digging them up and taking them with you is strictly prohibited, said Laurie Perry, regional program lead for the Bureau of Reclamation in Sacramento, which controls the land at New Melones, wet or dry. This week, the department issued a warning in the form of a press release telling people to leave the relics and archaeological finds behind when they visit. And metal detectors are not allowed and many of these places. Getting caught can be expensive: fines up to $25,000 and officials could seize your detector or digging tools.
The good news, she said, is that this hasn't been much of a problem yet at New Melones – certainly not to the extent of what officials experienced when the remains of an old Mormon settlement surfaced last year at Folsom Lake. Visitors swarmed the old foundations and some took home whatever relics they could find. Hence, the warning is to make sure it doesn't happen at New Melones as well.
Why can't collectors or visitors take home trinkets and treasures that normally would be under 300 feet of water, you wonder? Because the ruins at Melones and Parrotts Ferry are considered historic sites remnant of the Gold Rush Era. And before that, many of these places also were home to Native Americans, she said. These sites are equivalent of outdoor museums.
Some of the sites where structures were 50 years or older were recorded as historic preservation sites when the new dam filled in the late 1970s into the early 1980s. The Parrotts Ferry Bridge, built in 1939, was not among them at the time and therefore didn't show up on the list. It qualifies now, though. Thus, disturbing, taking or damaging the artifacts is banned there as well.
And there's a safety issue, Perry said. The slopes can be unstable because they've been under water for so long.
"There's been lots of sedimentation," she said. "Things have moved as the reservoir level has risen and fallen. (The soil) is beaten up by the wave action."
That can bury some prehistoric artifacts and expose others. Either way, leave them alone, she said.
At Lake Don Pedro reservoir, the old stamp mill foundation from the Eagle-Shawmut Mine near Chinese Camp has been out of the water for more than a year and traipsed over by many. But the rules are the same as on federal land, Modesto Irrigation District's Melissa Williams said.
"Don Pedro Recreation Agency's regulations and ordinances (Section 5.3.4) note that no person shall disturb the soils, archaeological, historical or geological resources within the Recreation Area," she said. And the places within the area that have the most relics – old townsites of Jacksonville and the community site near the old dam downstream – are expected to remain under water.
All that stated, you own a nifty metal detector and enjoy a day out looking for treasures. Where can you use it? Chris Davis of Modesto has one and makes good use, going to historic towns including Knights Ferry and Chinese Camp, where he asks permission to hunt on private property owners.
"I'll go up and knock on their doors and explain, 'this is what I want do do.' I'll offer 'em a fifty-fifty split or offer to give 'em first crack on whatever."
Most allow him to use his detector and few have asked for a cut of the take, he said.
"I typically search for an old location where lots of people would have hung out or traveled through," he said. "For me, it's not about finding something that is worth a lot of money but finding something that was from that time era."
As long as it's on private ground and not from land that usually is under water and always government owned.

Note that the contents of the user's Home folder can be saved in a disk image in the Deleted Users folder (just in case you need to retrieve something). Alternatively, you can choose to leave the deleted user's home folder as is, without removing it.
If you're absolutely sure you won't be dating that person again, click the Delete the Home Folder option (which doesn't save anything in the Deleted Users folder). You regain all the hard drive space that was being occupied by the contents of the deleted user's home folder. As an extra measure of protection, you can also choose to securely erase the contents of the deleted user's Home folder.

Mountain top experiences. As Christians, most of us have experienced such moments whether it was a camp, retreat, revival, or church service (etc). We have all had these mountain top moments where we have felt the closest to God. Moments we often wish we never had to leave. But like most good things in life, there usually comes an end, a time in which we must climb down from these mountains.
I want to take a look at Exodus 34:29:
"Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him."
So here is Moses coming down from Mount Sinai (for a second time because the first time he got angry and touchdown spiked the Ten Commandments) after a pretty incredible (if you can consider 40 days with no food "incredible") mountain top experience with God. As he climbs down, he begins to come into contact with others, and they begin to notice something, Moses' face was glowing. It was obvious to those gathered around that Moses had an encounter with God! As I was reading this passage, God made it clear to me that once we have an encounter with Him, it should be obvious to those around us. There should be something different about us.
My favorite part of this is the fact that Moses had absolutely no clue that his appearance had changed! The change of his appearance was a direct result of the time he had spent with God. When we spend time with God, we too will begin to change and we may not even realize it. I tell my students often "you become who you hangout with. If you want to know what you'll be like tomorrow, look at who your friends are today." This is true no matter who you are. The change may be slow, and you typically don't even realize it is happening, but trust me, it is. The best way to become more like God is to spend time with Him.
Others would have never seen the glow on Moses' face, thus never having the opportunity to hear about his encounter with God had he never come down from the mountain. As Christians, we sometimes get so comfortable on the mountain top, that we don't want to come down. But what happens on the mountain isn't supposed to stay on the mountain. We must climb down from our mountain tops and share the encounter we had with God with others! From mountain tops to the valleys, we are the messengers equipped to share the gospel with the rest of the world.
The mountain top is not our destination, it's just part of our journey.

text: Breathe Easier After an Indoor Air Quality Audit When you get home after a stressful day, you shouldn't have to think about your air cleanliness and quality. You expect it to be fresh and clean – just like (if not more than) the air outdoors. However, it's not uncommon for the air outdoors to be cleaner than the air inside your home. The only way to ensure that you're breathing healthy air inside is to have an indoor air quality audit done by Daniel's Heating & Refrigeration Corp. in Midlothian. We'll test all the components that affect air quality, including temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, particulates (dust) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We'll run tests to find your home's weaknesses, whether that's letting in dust and allergens or not enabling enough ventilation. After analyzing results from the tests, our team will talk through the issues we found and your options for improving. We'll show you the potential indoor air quality snags and help you take the next steps to a healthier home. Book your appointment online or by phone at 804-372-0313 today. Daniel's Heating & Refrigeration Corp. is your partner for an indoor air quality audit in Midlothian.

Healthy Weight Loss Meals2 min read
Kinovelax Eating regimen Plan is created by a world known licensed nutritionist and train specialist, that helped over 25,000 individuals all over the world. Each meal should add fresh vegetables and eat a few fruits half-hour before a meal to create false satiety, and gives nutritional vitamins and fiber for the body. With these options 6 Errors in food regimen of girls talked about above provides you with the experience to eat a balanced weight loss plan, science and rationality to be able to ensure good well being, and produce a good condition for as you want. An appropriate diet mixed with particular training plan would be the finest weight loss strategies, the simplest jog.
And although you may think you've got heard or tried all of it, relating to weight reduction I promise you've by no means seen something like this earlier than… and I assure you're about to be utterly amazed! Natural meals are all the time to be most popular, however a properly treated (washed and probably peeled) fruit or vegetable that has been uncovered to chemical compounds is going to be much more nutritious eaten uncooked or frivolously cooked than the same food after it has gone via a processing line. That sugary syrup they float in is filled with preservatives and is clearly excessive in sugar content – excellent for adding a large number of energy to your meal.
My as soon as-a-day meal plan has actually been causing me to gain weight, slightly than lose it. No marvel I all the time feel drained by the time evening comes round. You can go fully in the other way by consuming extra often, however making your meal dimension correspondingly smaller, so that you absorb no more energy day by day than you would have if you happen to had been eating three times a day, or even simply once. One of the great issues about this e book is that it covers almost every part of eating and weight issues, including way of life, exercise and the necessary position of your thoughts and consuming.
This e book won't give you the general well being and nutritional information like the excellent The Evolution Weight loss plan: All-Pure and Allergy Free or the You: On a Diet predecessor, but this quick learn offers the reader tips for shedding pounds particularly. Included is a pattern two-week eating plan with recipes (together with a tasty breakfast smoothie recipe) and a fat-blasting exercise regimen. It is not even particularly difficult; making nutritious diet decisions turns into pure and rewarding.
The authors notice the aim is troublesome: help individuals drop some weight they usually acknowledge that throughout the ebook: THIS ISN'T A GET-THIN QUICK BOOK! This ebook was really easy to learn and understand, the recipes are also straightforward for those of us who do not cook dinner very properly. Apples: This scrumptious fruit, when eaten uncooked, is a superb technique to hold your weight down.

From spending time at the beautiful and popular Watchung Lake and Twin Brooks Golf Course to enjoying town-wide activities, Watchung residents like to get outdoors and come together to enjoy their community. Events like the Tree Lighting ceremony, Harvest Festival, and other annual get-togethers encourage people to meet their neighbors and enjoy all the Central New Jersey community has to offer!
"I love to run around Watchung Lake. It is particularly beautiful in the springtime when the trees are just blooming. When the kids were little we also loved to take the kids to the park at the lake... So I guess you can say that the lake is a family fav." -Jen M.
"We have a wonderful library, with a great summer reading program and a fantastic collection of movies and DVDs. One can go hiking in the nearby Watchung Reservation. We have a wonderful tree lighting ceremony each December complete with signing, hot chocolate and fireworks. We have Boy Scout and Girl Scouts. And EVERYBODY enjoys walks around the lake!" - Watchung Mom
"Amazing community feeling. It's such a small town that annual gatherings like the Ice Cream Social, Harvest Festival, Tree Lighting community picnic attract everyone!" -Amy D.
"Walking around the lake is great exercise. The park is nice. The town offers seasonal town events where you can take the kids and meet your neighbors." - Alys T.
"In the future, hopefully some of the meadows and other strengths of Watchung's natural beauty will be preserved as public spaces. Currently, many natural places can be seen between the more graceful homes that celebrate and fit into the landscape, and wildlife preserves and parks are 10-15 drives from Watchung. There are also two man-made lakes in town (originally built to produce ice to sell in Cuba, before freezers existed!), around which residents like to walk. Sidewalks have been constructed for this purpose. There is also a non-profit arts center which seems to be quite active, and a library that promises to be rebuilt to become more of a community center. A community center in a safe building would be a much needed and much used selling point of the town, along with homes that respect the natural world, and Watchung's history and draw to more woodsy people." -JJ
"Watchung Lake [is] very popular with walkers/runners [and for] fishing." - Roseann S
"I'm a huge fan of the seasonal colors of the town. I've never seen such gorgeous Dogwood in Spring time and the fall colors around the lake are spectacular. Residents are very friendly and always watch out for one another." -Jen M.
"I love that Watchung is just a bit rural, yet there is access to anything and everything—restaurants, museums, theater, parks, the ocean—you name it! Did you know that we have several horse farms in Watchung? And residents can spot deer, turkeys, and foxes in their own yards!" -Watchung Mom
"Love how beautiful it is and how close it is to the Jersey Shore and NYC. The schools are great and have met very dear friends through the schools." - Kristy
"Community is great. People are friendly. Atmosphere beautiful. Close to shopping and easy commute to the shore, city or mountains." -Alys T.
"Easy access to shopping, travel and city. A relaxing environment. Friendly people. Great schools!"
"The back streets are quiet, the trees are beautiful, it is convenient in many ways, and close to Lifetime Fitness and a new Hilton Hotel. Some town leaders (politically) push to prevent the town from turning into just another NJ town filled with badly built McMansions, blue, rolled-out lawns, and residents who never get out of their SUVs except to pull into their house. They celebrate big, flowering trees and the history of Watchung, starting with the natives who cherished this area for centuries. I love that there are a lot of Indian and Chinese families moving into an area that previously had been quite homogeneous, often multi-generational. Anything to draw newcomers into 'the community,' stay in the local schools, and improve them according to their expectations, and share their cultures with the rest of the town, i.e. build roots, would be most welcome." -JJ
"Small town feel but close to everything you need. Quiet, relaxed." -Roseann S.
"Mixture of nature and humanity. Close enough to be convenient, although far enough from all the hustle." -Paul M.
"Everyone is friendly. Stores, pharmacy, Costco, BJs, Walmart, churches and synagogues are within 3 to 5 miles." -Lenore

Skeletal muscles have tone and strength. The two are often confused because in normal parlance we say that someone who has built their muscle strength, by say, weight lifting or physical activity, is 'toned'. This is not what we are referring to when pointing to muscle function.
'Muscle tone' refers to the work the muscle is doing when it is at rest, while the work that muscles do while working, or exerting force, is called 'strength'.
All muscles maintain some working fibers, even while at rest. This reflects a certain amount of electrical and chemical communication that constantly happens in order to maintain basic functions such as proprioception, balance or just structure. Those muscles that have some responsibility for posture have more slow-twitch fibers and will have greater resting tone. Slow-twitch fibers are the "white meat" of muscle. Like birds who must fly hundreds of miles to migrate, they are working much of the time to keep up some tone for endurance. The need for postural and structural support never sleeps. When some fibers need to rest, others jump in to take over. The pelvic floor is postural and is prone to hypertonicity. Hypertonic fibers are those that do too much work while at rest. A muscle that doesn't rest can't work as well and can produce pain. Most patients who show up at American pelvic pain clinics or complain of urinary symptoms present with hypertonic pelvic floors.
Muscles at work are characterised as strong or weak. Both can be hypertonic (or hypotonic, for that matter--meaning too flaccid at rest). When women are given a vaginal digital exam by a urologist in order to assess for strength, it can be difficult to accurately assess the strength of a hypertonic pelvic floor. If the muscle contracts but doesn't adequately relax afterwards, the physician will feel little difference in tension and proclaim the muscle group to be weak. What the practitioner actually felt was the result of hypertonicity and the jury is still out on the strength or weakness.
A female urologist (one who is trained on female anatomy & physiology) is more likely to be aware of this issue than the more traditional male urologist. Nearly all urologists are male urologists.
I have had patients who become concerned that exercise will worsen hypertonicity. This could not be further from the truth. When we work a muscle, we contract and relax it, over and over. In working the muscle we train the relaxation part of the cycle as much as the contraction. In fact, working the muscle is one way of treating hypertonicity.
For the pelvic floor, there are two more ways that we can aid relaxation of the muscles. One is to give a slight push out, like giving a little push to get a tampon out. It should never be a forceful or strained push; use very little effort and don't expect to feel anything different from doing it. The other way to relax the pelvic floor is to lie in rest pose--on one's back, with knees bent and soles of the feet touching each other. This minimizes the electrical activity from the large muscles of the thighs and buttocks that tends to spill into the pelvic floor. This electrical activity is normal, but too much of it promotes hypertonicity.

Kissing Jakob just seems like a funny joke, but the joke quickly gets out of hand. Worse, Jakob seems to enjoy it. As Leo battles his growing curiosity, he shies away from the big question: should the two of them remain best friends, or should he let his body lead them into something more?

Homeopathy is ideal for babies and children as it is a gentle yet highly effective system of medicine.
The mildly sweet pills, powders or liquids are easy to dispense and are more palatable than many conventional medicines. The highly diluted natural substances that form homeopathic remedies mean that they are safe to use in the very young, including newborn babies. More than that, homeopathy can raise the immunity of your children to help deal with illness throughout their childhood (1).
Homeopathy not only helps when your child is ill, It can also help prevent illness and give support through difficult periods of their life.
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that has been practised all over the world for almost 250 years. Homeopathic remedies are made from plants, animal substances, minerals and salts and are diluted to such a high extent that few or no molecules remain in the medicine. They work at an energetic level, stimulating the body's own healing abilities – rather like a message to the immune system – and are prescribed on the principle of 'like cures like'. A good example is where the remedy Allium cepa (onion) is prescribed for hayfever when the eyes are stinging and hot, which is similar to what happens when you cut up an onion!
What complaints can you safely treat at home?
Homeopathy works fast with children because they are usually full of vitality. Acute conditions such as ear infections, tonsillitis and flu, can be resolved rapidly using the right remedies, often avoiding the need for conventional medicines. Babies also tend to respond quickly to homeopathic treatment – there are remedies for colic, teething and nappy rash, for example.
Childhood vaccination
Healthy children bounce back from acute illnesses and may even experience a growth spurt or developmental leap immediately after an illness. Homeopathy can help boost your child's natural immunity. Homeopaths work with a different health model from the bio-medical one, which aims to increase "herd immunity". Every child is special and has their own physical and emotional way of dealing with disease. This knowledge requires individual treatment tailored to your child's needs, which homeopathy provides.
The Society acknowledges that there is much anecdotal and scientific evidence to support the arguments presented for and against vaccination. Our members aim to support parents in making rational, informed decisions on the short and long-term implications of vaccination. Whether you decide to opt for the jabs or not, homeopathic treatment can improve natural immunity or lessen the chance of side effects from vaccination.

Wedding has been always a significant milestone in everyone's life, whether you are rich or poor, tall or short, hold a corporate 9-to-6 job or dwell in the creative land. Over the years, we have seen weddings evolved and changed from a mere traditional ceremony to more of a visual avenue self-expression. Especially here in Asia where weddings are often view as a family affair in lieu of pleasing the parents. This trend has been led by the meteoric rise of wedding blogs and the couple themselves being more inspired to have a personalized beautiful wedding. Pinterest and visual social media such as Instagram, heightened the visibility of creative event. With inspiration so readily available, couples are far more informed and aesthetically inclined than ever before.
While this trend, originally spurred by designer couples getting married (they took this opportunity as a creative outlet to show off their personality and talent.. at least I speak for myself), now it has caught up with everyone else. More and more we see unconventional weddings in Singapore with special theme and look. If you would like to jump in the bandwagon, here are some of the inspiration and tips:
How to be original when everything has been done under the sun? The answer is within yourself! You and your partner are unique. Although maybe you really like those rustic vintage wedding you have seen in Green Wedding Shoes , please inject your own flavor into the design. Think what inspires you. What do you like, what does your partner like? We always start our first design session, by asking these question.
Jessica really likes butterfly and burst of colors. So we designed a whole stationery set and decor based on this idea. Butterfly garland at the couple's chair.
Or you love music? What kind of music? Madeline & Surinder grew up in the 70's, so we proposed to have a retro music theme. It was a blast!
or are you the only "G" & " S" there is?
or Aldo & Sean?
For this Thai & Singaporean couple, we created an elephant icon as their main design & brought in tuk tuk as the photobooth!
Or are you a cat lover? We created a cat icon for this lovely couple and incorporate them in the whole decor theme including the giant photobooth backdrop
Best if you could consider the theme before deciding on the venue. If you love to have a nautical theme, have it somewhere related. Go for yacht wedding, boat wedding or go for One Degree 15 Marina.
Beach wedding via Pinterest
Below is the wedding in Raffles House, Fort Canning Park, Singapore
Garden wedding via Pinterest
Tiffany garden wedding in Singapore (our own wedding!).
Or why not invite only the most important people and get married in the City of Love, Paris?
Start creating a moodboard with your favorite colors and cataloguing them, either in Pinterest or in your computer. It's also easy to browse through the gorgeous images through Instagram. If you haven't own your Pinterest account, this is the best time to capitalise it. You can add "Pin It" button on your browser so whenever you found inspiration you can add it to your board.
If you don't know what I am talking about, please consider signing up to our Rosette One: Design & Decor package (haha..)
Unless you decided to have rainbow wedding, stick to two colors or three.
via Burnett's Board
You can use color as the main theme.
or three color combination, yellow-blue-pink, for doze of youthful bash?
This fuschia & grey are the main colors of the blogger Ju Ann & Peter's wedding that we styled last year.
These are the basic ingredient to create a unique wedding experience that reflects your taste. This is just the beginning! We will unfold more practical tips in Part 2 !
Stay tuned!
