We walked back to the hotel around 3am but trust me, the street was still happening as it was just 8pm, time to start party. And the thing i liked the most about Phuket as i said, it's so safe. No one disturbed us, flirted around even taxi drivers also didn't bother us that much unless you ask for their service. Perhaps, that time, we were the one who worn more cloths than other gals, so we weren't attractive enough, lolz....
*Random photo: Taken at the swiming pool of the hotel at 3.30am, lolz....Camwhoring on the bus before we left! I was wearing the pinky flowerish long dress which i bought the night before. It costed me RM15, ^_^ So cheap and definitely matching with my earings and bangles, ;)
. . .
Next morning, i had to wake up at 7am sharp for the next tour to James Bond island. God, that means 2 days i only had 4 hours to sleep. Thank God, I didn't have panda eyes, did i? ;)
Ok, the first stop of the day was the GEMS FACTORY. Phuket is very famous of real pearl all types, and some natural stones....This is some pure stones: ruby, etc...
Inside the factory where all the workers were so hardworking and focusing on their work. They didn't seem to be bothered by our appearance. Perhaps, there are so many people come everyday to visit so they just used to it :D Outside factory, it was a gallery where they served you free wine and drink. Leaving the Gems factory, we quickly went to the 2nd destination which all of us couldn't wait for it. The PhangNga island and James bond island. The weather outside could be 40 degree Celsius i swear, it was bloody hot and humid. Luckily we went by boat! So yeah, i could enjoy the wind.
Camwhoring again on the way, how nice when surrounding you were rocky, watery and windy feelings ;) This was the place that we stopped for our lunch on the way. Yah, it stated there seafood restaurant, but we only tried few dishes of fished, prawn, squid...Hmm, i don't really like it coz it was too hot and spicy. So i purposely didn't upload any photo about food here. It's all about sight seeing, ok?
We couldn't miss a good chance for out photoshooting after the lunch as all of us here are heavy camwhorers, lolz....See this! So artistic huh?
I love this pix the most! The most wanted girl! Yeah, it's me!Why does it name so funny? Because the movie James Bond was casted here before (*if any of you have watched*)
The outside view of the restaurant! It was so nice!
Good bye, seafood! We gotta continue our journey! Yeah, here we are! The James Bond island!
The outside view of the restaurant! It was so nice!
Good bye, seafood! We gotta continue our journey! Yeah, here we are! The James Bond island!
Hmm, sleeping beauty! I love this photo the most. When i first saw it, i came out with the idea of this pose! Many people were passing by and looking at me one kind, hahaha.....My boss said "Oh My God!" Hahahha.... Monkeys loved me, I loved monkey! This little monkey was not at the island, he was at the Monkey temple that we came to next after the island. Sorry taking photo was prohibited inside the temple (*it was a cave built temple actually with a very huge Buddha sleeping inside, so i could just take photo with monkey only :0(
HERE YOU GO! THIS IS WHAT PHUKET IS ALL ABOUT!Sexy girl-boys dancing on the street and inviting people. Damn, I hate them so much because they are damn pretty and sexy can? The legs are damn long and the all are soooooooooo pretty! Wondering how much money they have to pay for that face.
They were still dancing! *Yuck*! Sorry to say, if i was to stand there to dance, i could dance so much better and more attractive and sexier than them even though i'm short and not pretty enough. They'd better not dance to save the impression of others to them. I got rid out of that environment very quickly as going with me were 2 Malays ladies and my bosses, they didn't really get interested so much in this. So we just went away and looked for MASSAGE~ Yeah! That was all i was looking for!
Am not sure how old is this girl but she is so experienced for God's sake! She massaged for me very well until i got dozzed off. Perhaps because i lacked of sleep these 2 days. Only one thing, my muscules are so painful due to some dancing practices few days back, so whenever she pressed, aiya, damn painful, until i was about to kick her away, lolz...... Oh yah, this massage duration was 60mins plus some body massage. It costed us BAHT200 equals to RM20. And bosses footed the bill! *thumb up*! Massage done! We reached hotel around 2am something.... I really needed to get some sleep
Day 3: The whole day was Free and Easy plan so i made myself available for swimming in the early morning around 7am. Just perfect! This is a MUST for me everytime i go to the beach, i have to swim and i want to swim badly! I want to enjoy the sand, the waves...
YEAH!!! OCEAN HERE I CAME!There was still not many people yet as it was still early! I could cam whore more!
Let's see my PHOTOSHOOTING SESSION ON THE BEACH!
Doggies also wanted to swim with me, lolz! This must be a rich dog huh? Here you go, my photographer! :D Nirah, my gal *kiss to you*!
She was influenced by my posing, I think, so i had to snap for her one, lolz.... 2 hours for us to swim was more than enough. We got back to our hotel as breakfast was waiting for us. I couldn't get my shower done, just quickly got something to eat then i had to get ready for my last shopping session coming up next ;) *Super busy*This is not shopping, lolz! I just wanted to try to ice cream that they sell along the road, RM2 only
We mainly walked along the road and stopped by any store that we saw, from the shoes shop to the slutty shop (* i should have taken the photo of trying some slutty cloths for you all to see :D
Those AQUAs love to wear this I couldn't count how many kilometers that we walked, but it was quite a long distance, from a very big and modern shopping mall....to the cheap and small market which offered 70% of the price. I personally love to shop here, coz things are very cheap and very unique that sometimes u couldn't find in the shopping mall at all.
Ok, last stop! Having luch before the we left Phuket. It was 4pm that time we only had our lunch, lolz...My friend, the photographer gal kept telling me that "God! I don't want to leave". Arrggg, she made me feel like staying too, lolzzz...But we couldn't. So yah, we enjoyed the last meal, the coffee and some Thai cuisine before we left.
P/s: For more photos, you can click HERE or more HERE
P/p/s: Updated! One of my friends after read this entry told me that, his friend (a male) comment that Phuket is boring. Lolz! I know why he said so! Because, MEN CANT WEAR BIKINI TO THE BEACH AND CAN'T SHOP THAT MUCH COZ ALL STUFFS THERE ARE SLUTTY AND SEXY FOR AQUA ONLY. HAHAHAHHA

Handel and Haydn Society Holds 2012 Annual Meeting
At the annual meeting held in Boston on September 24, the Handel and Haydn Society (H&H) presented its audited financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2012 and announced that it had balanced its budget in addition to reaching key organizational accomplishments for the 2011–2012 Season. Also discussed was the undertaking a strategic planning process and development of a five-year Strategic Plan set to guide the organization through its 2015 Bicentennial and beyond.
Executive Director and CEO Marie-Hélène Bernard commented, "As we continue the journey towards the 2015 Bicentennial, it is critical that we both listen and respond to the members of our community. The Strategic Plan has given us an opportunity to do just that, and the response was overwhelming. H&H is in wonderful position to remain strong as we approach this landmark event."
Ambitious plans are already in place for the celebration, including a commission, free concerts for the Boston community, expanded educational outreach initiatives, special lectures and exhibitions, and recording projects.
At the meeting, it was announced that H&H ended its FY12 fiscal year on June 30, 2012, with a surplus of $42,663. The Society balanced its budget with unrestricted revenue of $3.30 million and total expenses of $3.26 million. Total revenues for 2012 were up 4.4%. Unrestricted contributions from individuals and grants, representing more than half of operating revenues, remainEd Strong, with a record-breaking Society Ball, H&H's annual gala fundraiser. Handel and Haydn Society generated $1,400,069 in ticket revenue, consisting of $726,346 in subscriptions and $673,723 in single tickets.
The Handel and Haydn Society's 2011–2012 Season, the third under Harry Christophers' artistic leadership, was greeted with acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Highlights included performances by exceptional international and local talent, with the debut of newly appointed Concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky in January with Vivaldi The Four Seasons and guest artists including fortepianist Kristian Bezuidenhout opening the season and Jean-Marie Zeitouni conducting Beethoven's groundbreaking Eroica symphony. Soprano Teresa Wakim, mezzo-soprano Paula Murrihy, tenor Thomas Cooley, and baritone Sumner Thompson, were featured in Mozart's Coronation Mass, which was recorded live in April and released on CD September 11, 2012.
"It continues to be a pleasure and a privilege to lead the Handel and Haydn Society's talented and passionate musicians. Last season saw a big development in what my thinking and my vision for H&H is, as we continued to reach new levels artistically with works including the Bach St. Matthew Passion. We are working to develop an orchestra and chorus that can stand in its own right and stand high amongst the early music in Boston and across the globe," said Harry Christophers.
Collaborations with educational and arts institutions in the Greater Boston area remain important to Handel and Haydn. H&H musicians provided in-class performances at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); demonstrated period instrument equipment and performance technique; and lent their expertise to the singers of MIT's Chamber Chorus and Concert Choir. H&H's partnership with the New England Conservatory (NEC) continued with the Conducting Apprenticeship Program in which three NEC Master's candidates in Orchestral Conducting spent a week with Harry Christophers and Jean-Marie Zeitouni. Other partnerships resulted in special events, lectures, and performances at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Boston Public Library branches; Massachusetts College of Art; Concord Museum; Cambridge Center for Adult Education; and Boston Children's Museum.
Chairman of the Board Nicholas Gleysteen remarked, "Handel and Haydn continues to focus on its commitment to full participation, community partnerships, education and to artistic excellence in the field of historically informed performance. The path to the Bicentennial is an exciting one, and I look forward to seeing H&H deepen it's relationships with the community and expand it's footprint locally, nationally, and internationally as we approach this momentous occasion."
H&H was heard on the radio both locally on WGBH/Classical New England and nationally on NPR's SymphonyCast over the course of the season. Four concerts, including Mozart in Vienna and Handel Messiah, were aired.
The Handel and Haydn Society celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Collaborative Youth Concerts, a component of the Karen S. and George D. Levy Educational Outreach Program. Since 1987, high school choirs from Belmont, Boston, Brockton, Danvers, Lawrence, Lynn, New Bedford, Newton, and North Quincy have performed choral masterpieces by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Purcell, Schubert, and Vivaldi with our Period Instrument Orchestra and vocal soloists. To mark the anniversary, in February 2012 students from Boston, Brockton, Lawrence, and Roxbury joined Associate Conductor John Finney and Society musicians on stage at Symphony Hall to perform the "Gloria" from Mozart's Coronation Mass.
Nicholas Gleysteen was re-elected Chairman of the Board by the Board of Governors and Overseers. Gleysteen, a lawyer and CPA, is a Portfolio Manager at Hellman, Jordan Management Co., and also serves on the boards of the Weston Land Trust, Somerset Club Executive Committee, Fort Ticonderoga, National Trust for Scotland USA, Handel House USA, and the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club.

The University of Maryland is a national power that last year landed one of the best players in the country, who just so happened to play in Ohio.
Malina Howard, who helped the Twinsburg Tigers win back-to-back state championships, is now playing post for the 10th-ranked Terrapins.
Tina Langley, the associate head coach of Maryland, was in Holmes County last week with hopes of landing another top Ohio player.
Although NCAA regulations would not allow her to talk about the purpose of her visit to West Holmes High School for the Knights' game against Ashland, it was fairly obvious who she was there to see.
And although her stop in Holmes County also included a visit with Classic in the Country coordinator Tom Jenkins, I don't think she came all this way to make a personal reservation for this year's Classic.
Laina Snyder picked a bad night not to play her best game of the year. She managed only 6-of-17 shots from the field and merely finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds, to go with three assists and four steals.
Too bad Coach Langley couldn't stick around for Saturday's game when Snyder turned in a 29-point, 18-rebound effort in helping the Knights knock off Orrville. She hit 9-of-16 shots and was unstoppable around the bucket, yanking down six offensive rebounds.
If Snyder continues to perform like she did against the Red Riders, there will be many more visits from coaches and programs as impressive as the 2006 National Champion Maryland Terrapins.
If she continues to work and improve her game, this kid will pretty much be able to pick and choose from any college she wants. She gained plenty of notoriety last season in leading the Lady Knights to the state runner-up spot as a sophomore.
With the way things are going so far this year for Snyder, averaging close to 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, and leading West Holmes to a win over four-time defending champion Hathaway Brown, could she be on a path similar to the Twinsburg star?
Howard, by the way, has made an immediate impact at Maryland, averaging 7 points and 5 rebounds in 25 minutes per game, coming off the bench for coach Brenda Freese.
The Terrapins are 7-2 so far this season and have had eight straight 20-win seasons and have four 30-win seasons in a row.

Wishing all my faithful readers the best of wishes for the holidays.

Our GPS track looks like a plate of spaghetti. That's because we've been all over this lake with David Kilgore.
He's frustrated. Big keepers keep swiping at the umbrella rig, but none get hooked. That's not supposed to happen with this rig, right?
He's not too concerned, though. The best bite for him has been later in the day.
We're leaving him with three fish. There's a photo gallery to publish and a drive to Birmingham and Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World.
Over and out.

I buy meat there all the time--- I've never had an issue with it. . . . just as good as any other grocery. I've heard that the quality depends on the particular store - - so you might buy just a little bit and see what you think.02-08-2007, 10:14 PM #3

I buy the frozen salmon and orange roughy fillets all the time. I have purchased the ground beef a time or two. Beware the produce, though.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements02-08-2007, 11:47 PM #4
When I've bought the big tubes of ground beef, I have sometimes noticed that there seems to be little pieces of hard white things...I wondered if they were bone or plastic? Anyway, I haven't noticed this with the smaller tubes. I've tried other frozen meats and have been happy with them. I agree about the produce, though. Seems to go bad sooner.02-09-2007, 12:40 AM #5

I don't usually buy meats from Aldi's because I buy from a few local groceries only when they have sales. I have used their frozen meats... 3 lb ground beef chubs, 1# ground turkey chubs, frozen fish fillets, boxed chicken, stuffed chicken breasts (cordon bleu and broccoli cheese). Ialso buy their lunch meats. I have never had a problem.
As far as the produce, I have never had a problem there either... in fact up till about 2 weeks ago have bought all my oranges (now discontinued) and my red delicious apples there (unless they were on sale somewhere else).02-09-2007, 07:56 AM #6

I buy their meat all the time and have never had a problem with it. I especially like their ground turkey. Tastes great and it's an awesome price compared to the other grocery stores around me.02-09-2007, 09:18 AM #7
~I only buy their fresh ground sirloin at $2.99lb. That's a good deal in our area and it's yummy. I hate all their frozen meats because they add a salty broth to everything. I HATE additives. I discovered over the last year that I could get better tasting meat at better prices at grocery stores by stocking up when they were on sale. I used to buy 2 packs of $1.99lb chicken breast and thought I got a good deal. Now I stock up 10-20 lbs of $1.69lb chicken breast. Makes a huge difference over the year. As far as safe goes, we've never gotton sick from Aldi food. And my sister loves the frozen ground turkey too. She buys it all the time. I hate the texture of ground turkey;feels like I'm eating rough paper.~02-09-2007, 10:18 AM #8
I buy their ground beef, I have also bought their frozen chicken breasts, thinking I could take portions that I happen to need that night. But I prefer smaller breasts and I have noticed some of them in the package are rather large.02-09-2007, 10:20 AM #9

Well I went to Aldis and got some chicken, turkey, pork chops, a few avocados {they looked ok-ish} beef and assorted cheeses. That is as far as Im willing to go for now. Lol.
At this moment in time I am cooking all the chicken with two bags of peppers and a bunch of seasonings for fajitas. I intend to freeze this.
And I am also making a big pot of sticky rice for vegetarian avocado sushi. Im going to make a bunch of that to eat for the next few days. Does sushi freeze?02-15-2007, 04:04 AM #13

sahmwannbe Aldi is a grocery store
I have bought meat there before, though I have found I can get better prices if I stocked up when on sale at other places. Now out of mostly convience I buy my meat in bulk at sams club. As for the produce I have never had an issue with that. Though I have bought milk there on 2 seperate occasions that was spoiled, even though the expiration date hadn't passed.

At 76, Jo New's mother had been ill and depressed and, over the last five years, they had had many rows. "I think she resented the fact that I was busy living my own life, bringing up my two kids. I think she would have liked me to have had more time for her ... only it wouldn't have stopped her killing herself. Nothing I said or did would have made any difference to that. I actually felt a huge relief. I thought, 'Thank God she's dead, because I don't have to go through this any more; I don't have to watch her suffering.' It was awful to see her suffer."
The next six months were spent numbly trying to help her father come to terms with the shock of what had happened. "Then, suddenly, the shock got to me. It was a weekend, I think. I can't even remember a lot about it, except that something upset me and I flew into a rage and spent two days in tears. It was the first time I had cried. I felt totally out of balance. The acupuncturist I went to was very helpful and listened, then she put me in touch with a therapist. I also started doing yoga. The yoga restored my balance, and the therapist had to listen to me being angry and crying."
Two years later, on the anniversary of her mother's funeral, Jo's father gassed himself in his car. At 76, he felt he had nothing left to live for. "He'd had a busy job, always travelled a lot," says Jo, a cheerful woman with pink cheeks and ready smile, "and when, at 60, he retired, he missed that terribly. He aged almost the week he stopped work. Most of his retirement was spent looking after my mother, who was becoming physically ill and whose depression was getting worse.
"After she died, we got the occasional spark out of him, but how we dreaded it when he came round for meals! The children particularly hated it, but, bless them, they stayed in and did their best to cheer him up. He felt so isolated, you see. Most of his friends had died or drifted away. And suicide really does isolate you. There's so much shame and guilt attached. So he just tended to push people away."
Then, after his death, she, too, found it hard to face people, even those she knew well. Even some of her oldest friends found it hard to talk about her parents. "If I said something like, 'Do you remember when ...?' they'd shy away. Some people find the word 'suicide' incredibly difficult, and I now realise it is because, deep down, they think it is wrong. They think, 'God gave you life, you shouldn't take it away, it's self-murder.' Which it is. Others say, 'Of course people have the right to take their own lives', but I can tell you it's a very different matter when they happen to know that person. They are then forced to realise they didn't know that person after all. I mean, how can someone accept you had the energy or the strength - no, courage is the right word - to take your own life?"
Before he died, her father wrote her a letter. "I didn't even have to open it. I knew. I dashed round to his house straight away and found him in the garage. He looked so comfortable, dignified almost. I remember thinking it was nice he chose that way because he loved his car.
"I wasn't in the least surprised. He repeatedly told me he was thinking of ending his life. Suicide was always an option for him. When he was eight years old, a woman had walked into the sea and, later, he had seen the body on the beach. Whether or not it was as a result of this experience, I don't know, but he always felt suicide was a perfectly reasonable option. If you've had enough of your life, you can always end it. He really was that matter-of-fact about it."
Jo had been a Samaritan for eight years and thought she could handle all of this. "I'd listened to people on the phone saying they felt suicidal, but of course it was totally different listening to someone you love. At first he'd just say things like, 'Oh, I don't suppose I'll be around for much longer', and I thought, 'So you're going to do it, too', and I didn't ask, I didn't want to hear...
"He made one attempt - I think it failed because he wasn't ready to die. But, increasingly, he needed to talk - and the only person he would talk to was me. At first, he spoke of his feelings and about people he met. I must say, for a bloke, he was a talker; men don't usually talk about their feelings, do they? Later, he wanted to sort out things like bank accounts so that I could deal with his funeral. He was trying to make it as easy as possible ... and I sort of cringed.
"I didn't want to know how he was going to do it, I couldn't handle that, and I certainly couldn't handle knowing when - but later on, he couldn't hold back on how despairing he felt. It was terrible listening to him. I knew he would do it, I just knew."
She decided she would cope with his possible death very differently from the way she had coped with her mother's: "There was so much anger between her and me." This time, she would prepare herself. "So I shut myself in my office for two days and made myself really face the pain. Eventually I thought, 'Just suppose he had cancer, I would be able to cope because I could say all the things I wanted to say and then let go. It won't make his death any easier, but at least I will have said goodbye.'
"As a result I was able to say to him, 'OK, tell me what you're feeling and what your fears are.' I didn't do it brilliantly - I found it very sad, and I cried - but I actually did manage to ask those questions and listen to his answers. Before, when he had said, 'I am so despairing', I would just switch off because I couldn't bear it.
Now that I was able to listen to how he felt, I was able to tell him how I felt: like, I hate what you're doing but, if you really have to do this, then I will accept it, it is your life - but I can't endure the thought that you will kill yourself."
Her husband, Ivor, was, she says, extremely supportive. "Yet all this time I was pushing him away, I don't know why." And did he understand? "Sort of. Only because he knew my parents and what they were like."
Her parents' deaths were, she says, "like a knife in my guts. It was a huge rejection that neither of them thought my children were worth living for. Or that I, their only child, was worth living for. The kids were very angry. So was my husband. Not just because of the effect on me, but on our marriage, all of us, and I suddenly realised I was livid."
Three years on, she has come to terms with the fact that her parents chose to die and that it was their right to do so. "That's when the healing begins. I suppose it was easier to forgive my father because I was closer to him and knew more about his feelings. It was much harder to forgive my mother because of the anger that existed between us. But, yes, I've forgiven her too - I actually loved her very much. I now know that anyone who is that depressed, that intent on dying, cannot think beyond their own pain."

Hal Lindsey, the false rapture, other false prophets
Let's take a look into why Hal Lindsey is a false prophet, why the Pretribulation rapture, is false and other false prophets.
Hal Lindsey has written many books concerning prophecy.
* The Late, Great Planet Earth
* Satan is Alive and Well On Planet Earth
* The Liberation of Planet Earth
* There's a New World Coming
* The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon
* The Final Battle
* The Terminal Generation
* Planet Earth: The Final Chapter
* Rapture
* ''Planet Earth - 2000 A.D.
* Apocalypse Code''
* Blood Moon
* Vanished into Thin Air: the Hope of Every Believer
* The Everlasting Hatred: The Roots of Jihad
The Late Great Planet Earth was written in the 1970s.
In this book he made many predictions of what was to come concerning the end time. Since then many of his predictions have been shown to be false.
"The book was packed full with Lindseys interpretations of scripture, and many of his predictions and explanations seemed plausible. But as global events have worked through history in the past forty years, many of Lindseys predictions have fallen and he earned accusations of being a false prophet.
Perhaps the most obvious of these was his prediction that the European Common Market would grow to a league of ten nations, at which time it would represent the revived Roman Empire. This ten-nation economic entity would then be subdued and ruled by a diabolical future fuehrer or antichrist. The number ten was based on a scripture from the seventh chapter of Daniel that describes a beast with ten horns. At that point there were only six countries in the Common Market; today it is known as the European Union and has twenty-seven member countries. Clearly, the ten kings of Daniels vision who arise from a single kingdom do not match with Lindseys interpretation of that chapter."
"And Moses gave the answer -- the true test of a prophet: When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the LORD has not spoken (Dueteronomy 18:22).
Hal Lindsey, The Late Great Planet Earth, p. 20
He also admitted that if it turned out he was wrong that he would be a bum.
So shall it be!"
What about the Rapture? He is well known for teaching that there will be a pre tribulation rapture.
My Bible says that Jesus will not come till "the last trump"
The best chapter IMO, for debunking the pretrib rapture is
Matthew 24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
There are many verses like this one that plainly state that Jesus will come after the tribulation.
Most verses that I have seen that people used to support the rapture, were in the midst of passages that either included phrases like last trump, etc. They ignore that part.
Below is only one example of many that I could give. I took it off of a website that claims to be able to support the rapture with Bible verses.
I will bold the parts in red to show my point.
"There is no debate that 1 Thessalonians 4, and 1 Corinthians 15 teach on the rapture. Both chapters also teach the resurrection and of the trumpet blast. Neither chapter mentions anything about having to endure the tribulation before the rapture comes. There is no debate that Revelation 19 and Zechariah 14 teach on the physical return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power after the tribulation. Neither of those chapters speak of the rapture, nor of a resurrection, nor of a trumpet blast."
1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thess 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Cor 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cor 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Cor 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

I have to say the premis for this is BS
I would need time to look at all your claims but we know this.....Hal has never stated he is a prophet from the Lord.[far as i know]
2 no ones perfectand 3 you would have to be God to know if the rapture is false.....It has not happened yet....may not....but your claim goes way way beyond that. What if it does.....whos the false one then?
Just saying.....
Well, If he made prophecies of things to come then he would be a prophet. He made many prophecies that are not in the Bible that did not come true. Wrote many books on these.
One does not have to be God to find many passages in the Bible that debunk the Pretrib rapture theory.
I have given research for my claims. I have read Late Great Planet Earth.
I could say that the Bible says that pigs will fly in 2 years and just because it has not happened yet does not mean that it is a possible prophecy.
Just saying...
Biblical literalists are very deceived and in turn deceive many
although I find Hal Lindsey fascinating to listen to. You just need to sift what he says. There is some good info.
You can say anything you want....
As i understand Hals claims it was based on His understanding....thats all.
I read his book too, He makes a convincing case and still does for many things. Others....not so, buts Just His take AS i see it, nothing more.

Deu 18:20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deu 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
Deu 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Yah's standards are 100%...no wiggle room!
Hal Lindsey's program is not so much about biblical prophecy TEACHING, but current events and martyrdom and how it is 'near the end'. Bible prophecy is thrown in, ofcourse..but, it isn't like a 'teaching' program.
I look forward to his program (I've only seen 3 in the last 4 months or so) because it is a good news program from a Bible believers perspective.
Do I agree with him all the time? Nope.
Take his show for what it is, a show about current events with some Bible messages thrown in.
I think it is entirely possible to not agree with his philosophy and still appreciate his show.
An example of this would be Glen Beck. I am no longer a fan, but I know that many people are. He is LDS, which has doctrines just as 'crazy' as the pre-trib rapture theory Hal has.
You can separate the two.
Please show where hal has ever claimed to be one....no wiggle room now...
This is the description of his website for one. "A news site dedicated to news analysis of current events from the perspective of
Bible prophecy with Hal Lindsey."
This quote says it better then I can myself.
"You are sure correct in saying that Hal Lindsey is NOT a prophet. But he does claim to be an expert in prophecy. Who could be an expert in prophecy except a prophet. Prophecy is the testimony of The Spirit of Jesus and who knows that except Jesus. A prophet is one who Jesus speaks to about these things. When man tries to understand the things of God without bothering to seek God about them, you get the error of these men. Read Hal Lindsey's book "Late Great Planet earth" today, it is a joke, many of these things did not come true. Lindsey did imply that these things would come true by quoting scripture and allowing others to claim him an expert. Those area all signs of a false prophet. Lou "
Satan and his henchmen don't usually stand up and say, "I am Satan or I am satanic. On the contrary, many times satanic people deny that they are.
Of course Hal Lindsey isn't claiming to be a prophet and neither are many others who claim to be experts in prophecy. They know that people would go through their statements with a fine tooth comb if they did.
No he chooses to stay on the fence on that. It makes it easier for him to wiggle out of his false teachings.
Satanic people and false teachers lie. That is what they do. Hal Lindsey probably knows the Bible better then you and I. This being said, how could he possibly believe in the false pre trib rapture?
He has great intelligence concerning world affairs. He is not a stupid man. He is crafty. He has covered his butt well. That is why so many people still listen to him.
Just because he does not call himself a prophet does not mean that he is not a false prophet. He is just covering his butt.
This does not change the fact that he deceives many by teaching false prophecies in the name of God.
I cannot thing of a better description of a false prophet then someone who does that.

Prophesy is not always necessarily telling the events of the future. It is also telling the TRUTH. Someone who defends a pre-tribulation rapture against all odds, is NOT telling the truth.
1 Cor. 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort [...] 14:26 How is it [with you] then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying [...] 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge [...] 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

Do you honestly believe people claim this stuff without believing it? I mean, call me naive - but I think very few people spend their whole lives proclaiming something they know to be false.
To me it is just a doctrinal difference, not something that makes me think every word out of their mouth is akin to Satan.
Is holding a pre-trib rapture belief a salvation issue?
Now, I think it will be scary for those who do when SHTF, and I think they will be confused and possibly more at risk for losing faith - but I don't think it is a salvation issue.
This is just my opinion.

It's just like an old deacon friend of mine used to say:
"You know, as humans, we tend to major on the minor things, and minor on the major things..."
Doctrinal issues are the main reason we have so many denominations... and most of the issues are really minor... relative to THE major issue...
THE major issue is salvation... accepting Christ's totally unselfish sacrifice... Without salvation, all the other is just meaningless...

2 Thessalonians 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
I cannot tell you if Hal Lindsey believes what he teaches. Only God knows that. I can tell you that the pre- trib Rapture is false so it can only be 2 things. He doesn't believe it and it is a lie or he does believe it and is deceived.
It is way more then a doctrinal error. I have given scriptural proof that the pre Trib Rapture is false. It is not a matter of misinterpretation. There are passages in the Bible that are hard to understand but not all scripture is hard to understand.
When God says he will not return till after the tribulation, what is so haed to understand about that?
For those who are defending the pre tribulation rapture, I say give me proof that it exist. God's chosen will be caught up in heaven but not til after the tribulation.
There are passages that God will protect some during this time but they will not be taken out.
Satan will make war with the Saints. If that is so, how can Satan do that if they are not here.
Revelation 13:7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

It is also important to not be deceived. The only way to keep from being deceived is to study the Bible like never before.
Satan is after God's people. He does not have to worry about the others because he already has them. He is crafty and deception is his main skill.
False doctrines, (especially the pre trib rapture are dangerous.
If masses amounts of Christians think they are not going to be in the tribulation, and they are, will they still be waiting for Jesus to come when it is time for the mark of the beast? They will think it is not the tribulation yeat so they will take the mark, thinking it isn't the mark because they will no be here during that time.
The rapture makes no sense. Why would Satan need the mark if the Christian's are gone?
Plus why would God warn the Saints about the mark of the beast if it will not concern them.
"8And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13
4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
:10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Eschatology is only as hard as the mind's reception of the truth beyond the devil's schemes.
A long time ago, I once asked my pastor why Matthew 24 seems to contradict what we believed as Baptists, and his answer did not sit well with me. It still does not to this day. How can anyone believe in a pre-trib rapture when Jesus clearly states otherwise in Matt. 24? It is all laid out chronologically for anyone to read and comprehend what it says:
Matt 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Does he mince words?

One thing that I keep noticing that will precede Christ's return. That is the sun will darken.
I am not exactly sure why this will happen. It sounds like possible nuclear fallout. What ever it will be, it will probably be a catastrophic event.
Acts 2:18And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
Blood, fire, vapour of smoke and the sun turning to darkness? Also God's people will prophesy. "In those days" When are "those days"? In context, Jeuse explains when "those days" are. The only time the Bible speaks of the sun being darkened is during Tribulation and it even pin points the time during tribulation when this will happen.
Revelation6:12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

A lot of people believe the Rapture will be a secret one.
Matthew 24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Also what trumpet is he referring to?
I Corinthians 15:52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

I actually have Hal Lindsey to thank for my current spiritual beliefs! After reading a couple of his books I studied with the Kingdom Hall and even had a private tutor trying to learn more about the Bible. Hal was so fascinating that I was totaly absorbed in what he was saying. But after a while a lot of things just didn't make sense and I started seeing a lot of hypocracy in the members of the church. And when the church caused a division in my family, I decided to search for a different path to take! My new path led to contentment! Hal has a way of sucking you in with his eloquent writing but you can only find the right path for yourself. While I'm sure many folks have found solace in his writing but I now look at his writing with great disappointment when I think of how many folks were led down the wrong path by him.

The 2004 Presidential campaign brought politics Internet fundraising, 529s and "swift-boating."
You ain't seen nothing yet.
For a taste of what's to come this time, go to YouTube and see the "Hillary 1984" ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWvHbOoG3tI.
It's clever, creative and cutting. It goes right to the heart of Hillary's weakness with younger, Blog Democrats. To them, she's Microsoft. Obama is Apple.
The ad echoes the "Mac versus PC" ads Apple is running, featuring Steve Jobs and Bill Gates look-a-likes.
Obama's campaign says it had nothing to do with the 1984 ad. The creator, for now, is unknown.
But it's the second time an Obama supporter has put a hole in Hillary's battleship – without Obama getting wet. First it was David Geffen's criticism of Bill and Hill. Now it's somebody with enough money and savvy to make an impressive attack ad.
The ad is running "only" on the Internet. But it's been viewed over 600,000 times (as of this morning).

I was always pulling for mechanic anyway. I hope he wises up this time
And yeah....I'm not dating bday guy. He still texts....wants to be friends....still thinks something is gonna happen even though I was pretty up front with him.
No news on cop. I think she's looking thru her friends....and friends friends. I'm texting the great kisser again. The one I met on pof ages ago....when we finally went out he was like the best kisser in the world but had issue with my religion. He's been texting again, said he thought I was a card carrying, hexing, witch. When I said I wasn't....he relaxed. So who knows. I guess I'm just gonna chill for now ...at least with my surgery coming up.
And my cyst surgery and endometrial ablation are on the 26. I'll have some time off work to just relax and I'm gonna try not to worry abt men! Lol
Back on Cones,so now my routine is,wash with Deva No-Poo every other day or so. Occasionally use 365 sulfate free,maybe use low sulfate shampoo mixed with conditioner once every two weeks are longer. I condition with Aussie Moist or HEHH. I style with a little GF TN,and finish up with tons of GN Pure Clean Smoothing Cream. No frizz...slippy, happy hair.

Otherwise the brake system will be TRW and will have two bolts with standard hex heads to hold the caliper on.
Whether pin or bolt, lubrication of those is necessary for smooth operation. The torque specs on those is 26 ft.lbs.
Torque for banjo bolt is 35 ft.lbs., for caliper bracket is 125 ft.lbs.
The guides on the caliper bracket, for the pads (backing plates) to slide on, build up with rust scale. They should be cleaned up with a good filing, and lubricated so the pads can slide freely on them. The very ends of the pads fit into these guides.
Anti rattle springs, on the Teves system, hook into the caliper. For the TRW system, I don't know, but their purpose is to put some pressure on the backing plates for the pads to keep them from rattling around. The inboard pads will likely have anti rattle springs that push ito the piston cavity.
Sounds like you are using old pads with some anti rattle pieces missing. Any cracks in the pads? Loose pieces of pad (unbonded areas) will cause squeaking.
The contact area where the piston contacts the pad backing plate is where the lube or anti squeak compound is needed.

Recognize This! – To sustain high employee engagement over time requires intervention to ensure employees have what they need to do good work in an environment that is conducive to doing so.
Yesterday I wrote about the findings of multiple recent global employee engagement research reports, including Towers Watson's latest Global Workforce Study. Today, I want to look more closely at Towers Watson's new idea of "Sustainable Employee Engagement."
I've written about this idea before, but in summary, here is a graphic from the Towers Watson report explaining Sustainable Engagement:
There are three key points here to understanding sustainable engagement:
1) Engagement is not satisfaction or happiness at work. Employees can be quite satisfied with their work and happy to come in every day because the love the Starbucks in the café or spending time with their friends at work. That doesn't mean they're truly engaged – willing to give additional discretionary effort (above and beyond job specs) because they want to.
2) Sustained engagement requires you change the game. You cannot continue to do the same things ad nauseum and expect continued strong results. What engages people today will change as the people themselves and their work also change. That's the key part of the "enablement" portion of the sustained engagement equation. Are you continuing to give your employees what they need so they want to deliver the discretionary effort you need?
3) Energy matters – and so does attitude. Well-being, a key component of Towers Watson's definition of "energy," is another topic I've written on before that is too easily discounted. Do you want to come to work and do your best in a miserable environment of grumpy, mean or even abusive people? I know that's not conducive to me doing my best work. Creating a positive work environment is fundamental to sustained engagement.
What does your organization do to create an energized environment and enable you to do the work?

A Few Notes from the Triangle Coalition
Here are a few notes from my visit to Washington, D.C., as a member of the 21st Century Leadership Academy and the Triangle Coalition.
Dr. Goldstien (the first speaker of the conference) reported that we are born with the need and desire to be on a journey (he's an astrophysicist). He suggested that life is about satisfying the journey. Concerning this he said, "The journey and dream (of it) is written in us, in our genes; the body of knowledge(BOK) (things we learn in life) is not; therefore let's journey – bc it's through the journeying that we obtain the BOK." He continued, suggesting that to be human is to explore, "Sadly, we're beating this out of them (students) in the institutions (schools) where this (promotion of exploration) should be happening." He suggested that classrooms should start with a journey and expectation that students will be taken on a journey where they will be exploring new and exciting events, people, things, and so forth. In addition he said that teachers should create, support, and promote student journeying and exploration – where inquiry based instruction is essential. He used Toto from the Wizard of Oz as a metaphor, saying that we should (and our students should) always try and pull back the curtain on things – to see the phenomenological perspective of things. He recognized that this is often done in classrooms by teaching the scientific method or engineering design process – however, he argued that both of those methods are too rigid. He said that as a scientist/engineer he likes to "poke things, and just see what happens" – where curiosity and exploration leads his inquiry. He ended with two quotes that summarized his slant on learning: 1.) "Knowledge is not power, it's what you do with knowledge." 2.) "Joyful education should (and will) lead to joyful employment."
A panel of government and business officials were the second to speak. Susan Traiman, who was involved in writing "A Nation at Risk" among many other related reports, said that "Innovation is the life blood of business" (obviously I will be using this quote a lot in my research). She also shared some data regarding what students are studying at the top universities. She said that of the top 32 universities, only 9 of them offered technology and related majors. She suggested that we should use this data as a proxy to see/understand where people are studying and choosing careers in; suggesting that if our top universities are not even offering technology and engineering majors, it's no wonder the American economy is behind in technology and engineering domains. What was so interesting about this panel, was that the second panelist was from 3M, and she shared a data point that was very interesting to me: "15 of the 20 fastest growing jobs require technology and engineering." In light of this, she reported, 3M gives over $20 million to supporting education annually. She ended her words by sharing that 3M so highly believes in innovation that they give (or rather require) their employees (all 750 Ph.D. and 10,000 technicians) time to innovate (15% of their work hours are supposed to be spent working on their own "innovations").
While in DC I also spent a significant amount of time listening to various STEM related initiatives, and meeting with various US Senators. Needless to say, it was very educational.
Sounds like you had a good trip!
Here's my second tech find for the week:
I follow a blog called The Burning House. It is a collection of what people would grab if their house was on fire. Almost everyone would grab their laptop, camera, cellphone, ipod…etc. I think it is interesting because it shows how truly dependent we are on technology.
I like the first post, I think she's really good with lighting I wish I knew how to do this.
Ps I like the quote "Knowledge is not power, it's what you do with knowledge."
An interesting interactive website:
Atlantis Visualized with CGI
In honor of Steve Jobs I thought this was interesting. I have always known that he was a genius with all of his innovations, but I want to know more specifically after reading this article. After all, it's true, what if there had never been a Steve Jobs?
This is an interesting article about Steve Jobs spiritual side.

Les Trois Vallees consists of La Tania, Meribel and Courcheval (although I sometimes hear differences of opinion as to exactly what they include). My parents own a place in La Tania so I've been there numerous times and it's fantastic.
In terms of skiing, if you are a beginner a simple lift pass (eg just a La Tania pass if you're based in La Tania or just Courcheval if you're in Courcheval) is definitely enough, but if you're a very experienced skier you will probably want to pay the extra bit and get a 3 valley pass. While some ski resorts are mainly just good for beginners or just good for advanced skiers, I think the 3 valleys is good for everyone - a decent amount of green runs for complete beginners, lots and lots of blue and red runs, and then some blacks too and a ski park for those more adventurous who want to start jumping. There are definitely enough runs to keep even the more advanced skiers busy and to make you want to go back year after year
The conditions are normally great from around January once the first snow has settled, until April when the season ends, although January and Febuary are probably the best times to go for snow as it can melt towards the end of the season. Even in Jan/Feb you will get lovely blue skys and sunshine so it's my favourite time to go.
Regarding the nightlife, La Tania is small with a friendly atmosphere and only really 4 bars + a hotel bar. The main pub is called Le Ski Lodge and has live music both sometimes at apres-ski and in the evening. The bands are normally regulars, such as Bring Your Sisters who are fantastic and will do really popular covers and get the place buzzing. There are also a few different restaurants to choose from as well as eating pub grub in the ski lodge which after a long days skiing is normally what we go for and it fills a big space and is very satisfying. Meribel I don't know that much about but Courcheval is the place most people have heard of and has a lot more nightlife and clubs but is more expensive.
All-round it's a great holiday and I could go into a lot more detail but it would then become a brochure rather than a brief overview!
Les Trois Vallees resort, in the French Alps is accessible from Chambery airport, for skiers. However, the airport should be avoided on Saturdays if at all possible (usual day for ski changeover) - the luggage carousel simply isn't designed for 300 pairs of skis and boots as well as suitcases to arrive in a two hour slot - you'll spend an hour searching for your stuff!!
However, the misleadingly named 3 Valleys (it's actually eight resorts now!) is the largest interconnected ski area in the world - you can ski over 600km worth of pistes.
In recent memory, the snow has been reasonably reliable, although the lowest resort, St-Martin isn't always so great, and there have been days in the coldest part of the season when runs/lifts have been closed due to adverse weather.
That said, it's an amazing place to ski. There's huge variety in the type of skiing you can do - powder, groomed/ungroomed, glacier, off-piste, etc, and you'll never be bored. The lift pass covers all eight resorts, and it is possible to do the "3 Valleys Challenge" - skiing to 13 points in the 8 resorts in one day!
There are snow-parks for snowboarders (if only they'd stay thee...) and great apres-ski, including the highest pub in Europe - the Frog and Roastbeef, and a club whose name we never discovered, but which we affectionately named "The Sweatbox".
Recommended for fun, younger crowd, beginner-intermediate.

A sunny June evening, lots of vistors - including the Portuguese Ambassador, Bernardo Futscher Pereira and his engaging wife, who I wish I'd had more time to chat to - attended the VISUAL Carlow Materialisation: Mapping the Making opening.
Only hours before, I'd been primping and puffing the last few bits of the installation. The very weight of the cape means it has to be sewn shut to stop it slipping off the dummy.
I know it's my own insanity played out in public, but every stitch and shell and fringe must be in exactly the right place for me to feel balanced.
The backdrop makes the perfect setting of calm and serenity.
A short film plays at the entrance to the gallery documenting each of our progressions through the project.
Alongside my sculpture, a vitrine shows examples of my practice and materials - how I dye, spin, throw, fire and make every element of my work. (One friend joked that she wouldn't put it past me to know the sheeps' names. That is taking it a bit far....although I could name each of the Alpapcas I've met if I tried hard to remember...)
When I'm working, I feel like an alchemist, adding a little of this and a little of that to make the perfect potion combination. So I put all my base materials in little apothecary jars.
The opening was a great success, with 400 visitors, and many more set to stream through the gallery during its run.
It's open until the 31st August, is free, and is well worth a visit. Vasconcelos' work is AMAZING!

A customs offcer in Malawi skimmed at least 2000K off me when I did not know that you can only leave the country with 3000K. As my flight was already boarding I just gave her the money. So if you are leaving Malawi make sure you do not have an exxcess of 3000k with you or you'll find it in the hands of a greedy customs officer. The country as a whole was wonderful but this one person tainted the experience for me. The woman made sure I did not have time to go back upstairs and get some duty free stuff, Disgraceful.

Thanks for the tip! Our self-drive through Botswana and Zambia ends in Lilongwe, so this is great info. I have seen no reference to the limit and, since we will be without a guide, I have done much research. Robin

Was that K in USD, GBP, Euro or local currency?
Wonder why you had that much of whichever currency when departing the country. How much did you bring in the first place? For how long a stay in Malawi/other country/ies? To pay for what? Rooming, sightseeing, park fees, meals, souvenirs, other?
I've never even had USD$1,000 on any visit to Africa or anywhere!
Report Abuse
I'm guessing the K is for kwacha, the Malawian currency. 3000K is equal to about $US 20.
I've found from personal experience that time-limited situations like this are where I'm most likely to get ripped off. For example, at 3:30 AM it's kind of hard to argue with a Saigon cab driver that's just jacked up the price for a ride to the airport compared to the price he quoted you the night before. He was the only ride in town, if we wanted to make the flight.
I finished a book written by a South African guy who bicycled the circumference of Africa--he said he never once paid a bribe. I suppose that if he were in the situation mentioned, he probably would refuse to get on the plane and figure out some other way to get to where he's going.
Report Abuse
I got caught crossing from Malawi into Zambia like that many years ago. Turned around and went into the market several kilometres back. Bought some supplies in the market. Changed the rest on the black market - quite illegal, but no other viable options and drove back to the border.
Report Abuse
Btw Robin. You will be required to buy 3rd party insurance at the border if you didn't get a Yellow Card - COMESA- insurance. They have a reputation for overcharging, so be sure to check the details. Twice they tried to charge me for a commercial truck instead of a passenger vehicle.
Report Abuse
We've been warned about the 3rd party insurance. Here is what we are expecting to pay to get the Land Rover (UK registered) from Botswana to Zambia and then from Zambia to Malawi:
Kazungula ferry fee US$20
Toll office: US$30
Consul levy fee/district council: 10,000K or 20 pula
Carbon tax 150,000 to 200,000K
We will have a carnet for customs.
From Zambia to Malawi:
3rd party insurance MK5500 for 1 month
US$20 road tax
Anything else? Robin
Report Abuse
Well shoot! USD$20 if Kwacha! That's a racket for sure and a shame!

Reminds me of my stopover in Cairo last August, flying wiht Egypt Air. The official who was checking the monitor scanning the handbags, told be to open my bag. He found there a cable from a plug extension, and he showed me I couldn't board with it. His English was bad so he just grabbed the cable and made a gesture to show me that it could be used to strangle someone!
Before I had time to react he said ok, and told me to put it back in the bag. As I was packing my bag he kept tapping me on the hand saying "zamani, zamami". After a while, seeing his extended palm, I understood that what he meant was "some money, some money". He wanted me to give him money for allowing me to board with the cable. Seeing as he wasn't getting anything, he told me to go. I seriously contemplated to return and demonstrate on his neck that the cable could indeed be used for strangling. But alas, the stopover was short and the next flight was about to leave.
Report Abuse
I know its a bit late, but there has ALWAYS been a limit on the amount of currency that can be taken out, consider yourself lucky they increased the amount to MK3000 early last year, it used to to be MK200! Note that the UK FO travel advice does inform of this. At one time they didnt seem to be too concerned, I have always left with quite a bit more than the limit, but in recent times they have become concerned with forex smuggling, which has become a major problem, particularly with nationals of two certain countries, so searches are now more thorough. Also be advised that if you have a substantial amount of foreign currency on entry, this should be declared,a large sum on leaving could be construed as forex smuggling if you cannot account for the amount, and it could at least be confiscated, or at worse you could be prosecuted. At the end of the day MK2000 is only $13
Report Abuse
Crikey, $13? I'd not even have thought twice about it for $13! A minor irritant, yes, since the money will line the guard's pocket but hardly worth stressing over.
$2000 would be another thing entirely, but then, if carrying that kind of cash on one's person, worth making the effort to know the limits in advance!

700R4 transmission
I have a 700R4 from an 84 S10 2wd that I need to put in my old 82 S10. Didn't realize it was not the 200C when I bought it. Both trucks have the 2.8 liter engines. No computers. I am concerned about the electrical hookup of the 84 to the 82 wiring system. Any suggestions? Any suggestion reference the shifters: 3 speed in the 82, 4speed OD with the 700R4. Any way to modify the exising set up that would just bypass the ability to select LO as an individually selected gear as I would still have Lo as the first gear ratio for startout in the 2,3,D selectors? Need answers ASAP, please. Must get 82 on the road. It's a high miler (266K) so don't want to put too much $ into the project. It is a parts runner and engine/tranny hauler. Thanks for any help U may offer.
dont worry about the plug its for the lock up converter 2.8 donot like lock up it lugges them down u can use the factory shifter with a little adjustment u may not get man. also the drive shaft is longer on a 700
Hi Joshp. Thanks for the reply. There is an electrical connection on my82 that I think was for a locking converter. Are you saying that this connector and or the connector that is on the 84 700R4 are not necessary to use? That all aspects of either the old 200 or the 700R4 would be used but the converter would not go into lockup? That is, the shift selections and the shift patterns would remain the same if the electrical connections were just disabled? Assuming the TV cable is correctly adjusted, of course. I guess I'm a little confused/unknowledgeable. Thanks very much. Bill
700 R4 transmission
I am installing a 700R4 into an 82 S10 that previously had a 200C. Both trannys were attached to a 2.8 liter engine. The 200 had a single wire in a 4prong fitting attached on the drivers side and the 700R4 has 2 wires. I believe these were to activate locking converters. Must I reattach the 2 wires to the 700R4 or can I run this tranny as a nonlocking type? Will that do any harm to the tranny? I understand the 2.8 is very doggy with a locking converter. Need some technical advice about whether to wire or not to wire the tranny. Would really appreciate some knowledgable advice. Thanks very much.
I merged your new thread on the same vehicle with your original thread on the same problems.

One of the year's best movies has only one special effect: An astonishing performance by a 7-year-old.
That kid is Onata Aprile, and she's at the center of "What Maisie Knew," a searing drama set in modern-day Manhattan, but adapted from a Henry James novel published in 1897. Aprile plays Maisie, a normal kid who observes what happens when her self-centered parents, a rock star (Julianne Moore) and an art dealer (Steve Coogan), go through an acrimonious divorce. Maisie gets shuttled between the two, but ends up mostly being cared for by the people her parents married, a frazzled nanny (Joanna Vanderham) and a laidback bartender (Alexander Skarsgard). Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel let the drama unfold naturally, taking Maisie's wide-eyed view of the shortcomings of the adults in her life.
The big studio movie this weekend is "After Earth," a dimly conceived and weakly executed science-fiction survival story. Will Smith and his son Jaden star, as a military man and his rebellious son, living about 1000 years from now on a human colony until an interstellar trip that ends with their ship crashing on Earth, which has turned wild in the millenium since humans left it. The story, dreamt up by Smith and fleshed out by Gary Whitta ("The Book of Eli") and director M. Night Shyamalan, is dull and drawn out with too much ridiculous mythology and overwrought psychology.
The other wide opening is "Now You See Me," an exciting but ultimately not-so-bright heist thriller revolving around four master magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco). They devise an illusion that looks like they're robbing a Paris bank all the way from Las Vegas. But when a Paris bank really gets robbed, an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) and an Interpol cop (Mélanie Laurent) are put on the case. It's action-packed, but the last half hour reveals the holes in the plot.
For LDS audience, there's "Ephraim's Rescue," which focuses on Ephraim Hanks (Darin Southam), a lieutenant of Brigham Young who was dispatched to rescue the Willie-Martin Handcart Company, Mormon settlers caught in a Wyoming snowstorm in 1856. Director T.C. Christensen covered the same ground in last year's film "17 Miracles," which focused on the settlers' plight, and this one feels more like a Sunday School lesson than a compelling drama.
Now to the rest of the art-house slate. "Frances Ha" is an engaging comedy-drama, starring Greta Gerwig (who wrote with director/boyfriend Noah Baumbach) as a 27-year-old New Yorker who's realizing that her childhood dreams aren't turning out as planned. Gerwig gives a full-bodied performance as a woman frantically dealing with late-onset adulthood.
"Blancanieves" is a visually arresting take on the Snow White tale, as director Pablo Berger transforms it into an homage to '20s silent movies. His heroine, Carmencita (Macarena Garcia) grows up to become a bullfighter, but is pursued by her evil stepmother (Maribel Verdu). It's inventive, and a little whacked out.
"Kon-Tiki" was nominated for an Oscar in the foreign-language category, but this version of the Norwegian adventure drama is in English. (Dialogue scenes were shot twice, to appease international investors.) It recounts the journey launched by Thor Heyerdahl (Pål Sverre Hagen), who helmed a balsa-wood raft 5,000 miles across the Pacific to prove that ancient sailors made the same trip from Peru to Polynesia. The ocean scenes are breathtaking (though similar to those in "Life of Pi"), but the drama seems oddly truncated.
Lastly, there's "Something in the Air," in which director Olivier Assayas ("Carlos," "Summer Hours") tells a semi-autobiographical tale set amid the student turmoil in France in the late '60s and early '70s. It centers on students torn between political activism, artistic expression and sexual awakening. It's a tad rambling, but emotionally heartfelt.

Linking to Image or File
MediaWiki allows us to upload a file. In that page, there are some information for how to link to file after upload. But this guide will split that into some more cases, depending on what you want users to see.
I will use a file named "Example.jpg" as an example. Make sure you use correct file name ;)
- If the link to a file comes from inside this wiki (or from Wikimedia Commons)
- If you want to show the image directly in a page
- Use [[File:Example.jpg]] or you could use some other options from mediawiki help
- But if the file isn't an image, such as a pdf or odt file, using this syntax will give you a link to the file description page instead. (Click for a preview) Users may download the file there.
- If you want a direct link to file. That is, users clicking it will instantly get the file. No file description page.
- Use [[Media:Example.jpg]] or [[Media:Example.jpg|text to show]] for piping link. MediaWiki will automatically generate direct links for you. (Click for a preview)
- Please, DO NOT hard-code direct link which copy-and-paste from browser like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Example.jpg. It might cause some problems when upgrading MediaWiki. (It has been causing problems when upgraded from MediaWiki 1.16 to 1.17)
- If you want a link to the file description page, that is, images won't show in any case
- Use [[:File:Example.jpg]]. Note there are two colons here. Piping link also available.
- If you want to show the image directly in a page
- If the link to a file comes from outside the wiki
- Currently, MediaWiki doesn't allow using a direct link from external page, like http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Media:Example.jpg. Accessing via this link will bahave like using File:Example.jpg method. That is, it will go to the file description page.[1]
- For example, use http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Example.jpg
- It's safe when upgrading MediaWiki, and a link will be accessible forever, or at least if this wiki doesn't down ;)
- Although users might get confused what to do next when getting there.
- So, using copy-and-paste direct link might be better in some cases.
- But these links need some love when upgrading MediaWiki.
- Currently, MediaWiki doesn't allow using a direct link from external page, like http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Media:Example.jpg. Accessing via this link will bahave like using File:Example.jpg method. That is, it will go to the file description page.[1]

AUDIO: Missing persons initiative unveiled
(Cleveland) - Cuyahoga County leaders have discussed details of a new "missing persons initiative" intended to help locate those who have disappeared and offer help for residents and law enforcement in that process.
The announcement by Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald and Sheriff Frank Bova comes 10 days after 911 calls led police to a home where they found three missing Cleveland women.
FitzGerald says there will be a missing persons page on the county website that will be updated on a regular basis. The county also plans to hire a missing persons liason to work with families with missing loved ones.
FitzGerald says they'd also like to add two sheriff's deputies to work solely on missing persons cases.
The county administration says coordinating with the community is key in missing-person cases.
In Cleveland from 2006 though 2012, more than 19,000 people went missing. FitzGerald says 99% of them were found in a short period of time. As of now, he says there are about 110 missing persons cases unresolved in the city of Cleveland.
In recent years, Cleveland police have overhauled how they handle missing-person and sex crime investigations based on recommendations issued after the remains of 11 women were found at the Imperial Avenue home of serial killer Anthony Sowell.

Luxury Madrid Cooking Experience
Madrid is home to one of the most interesting culinary and society personalities in Spain- Pilar Latorre. Pilar is famous in the gastro-scene in Madrid's already ample selection of top chefs. Featured in Departures magazine, Gourmet and Habitania, along with a flurry of TV shows, Pilar (a Barcelona transplant who has only been in Madrid a few years) has taken the city by storm. Trained at the Cordon Bleu in Paris, with cooking courses taken in Tuscany and Zurich, Pilar has also travelled around the world for her gastronomic inspiration. Apart from Europe and The States, which Pilar has travelled extensively, she has also cooked and travelled from Bali, India, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, New Zealand, Bora Bora, Hong Kong, Morocco, Madagascar, Guatemala, to Brazil. Needless to say, she returned to Spain with enormous experience and new culinary ideas. Apart from being an avid chef, Pilar is an art collector and enthusiastic photographer and regularly showcases her photography in Spain. You will have your own private cooking class with Pilar, as well as a gourmet walking tour of the Alonso Martinez and Chueca quarters of Madrid, tasting sublime hot chocolate enroute. This gourmet day experience in Madrid is designed for food and wine lovers who are also interested in art, travel and fine living. Contact us for more information!
Below is a suggested Day By Day Itinerary for your private Madrid Cooking Experience
Private Cooking Experience Madrid
Pilar La Torre
Your day begins in the morning when your your private chauffeured Mercedes and your private guide meet you at your hotel to sweep you off your feet for an entertaining gourmet day experience.
Your chauffeur will drop you and your guide in the trendy Chueca/ Alonso Martinez quarter where you will enjoy a walking tour with a gourmet focus. Breakfast will be Aztec Hot Chocolate and Spanish pastries at a stylish choco shop. Carry on to visit a variety of shops including Olive Oil, cheese, organic honeys, wine and even a little culinary shops selling gourmet sea salts. Your walk will conclude at the beautiful private home of local high society personality Pilar Latorre, where she has a professional compact kitchen, separate cooking classroom, and lovely dining room where you will lunch with the chef herself and her charming Swiss husband, Rene.
You will begin with a glass of a delicious white wine from Rueda, using the delightful Verdejo grape variety. While you are setting up the class, enjoy a nibble of some marinated Spanish olives and the delicious "pan con tomate" (country bread drenched in extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and fresh tomatoes, divine!). Your cooking class with Pilar will consist of an appetizer, a main course and dessert. Pilar´s signature dishes include Foie Pyramid on apple with dash of smoked sea salt, her famous salads and dessert with edible flowers, Watermelon Gazpacho, and Citrus Sea Bass. The menu will depend on the time of year as Pilar themes her classes using ingredients that are fresh in season, such as wild mushrooms and truffles in autumn.
After your class (where you will learn some practical techniques and also have fun in this friendly, informal environment), you´ll sit down for lunch with Pilar, tasting your dishes paired with a superb wine from the very hot Bierzo wine region.Following lunch, your chauffeur will pick you up and you will say good bye to Pilar, but not before receiving a very special gourmet gift to take away with you, along with a keepsake booklet of recipes and a top Spanish cookbook. Your chauffeur will drop you back off at your hotel or at your preferred drop off point in Madrid. This is an unforgettable "taste" of Madrid!
Customer Feedback:
"As to the cooking lesson. I have nothing but good words (and a few comments). We were very impressed with both Pilar and Rene. It was wonderful being in their home, we felt extremely comfortable. The conversation was interesting and it was terrific to be able to get a feel for Spanish life. Pilar is incredibly talented (her photography is spectacular). They have set up their home to make the cooking lessons work especially well. The cameras are a wonderful addition."

Thorvalla - Update #5 & #6, Engine and Characters

Mr. Guedo must have taken lessons from the Shaker project. One of the mistakes he made was starting the campaign without specific knowledge. According to what I have seen in Kickstarter yet, updates afterwards can't save the projects. I think many people wants clarified information about certain aspects of the game (gameplay, setting, etc) at the very beginning. "We haven't decided yet" isn't a phrase that seems popular among potential pledgers.
