turn your daily driver into BOV!
There are some caveats though, I'm appreciating the idea of Grey Man a bit more as I get older. My last SUV was rhino lined with big bumpers and stuff. and while that looked cool, stood out like a sore thumb.
Now I have a Lexus GX460, which is pretty much a Toyota Land cruiser with nicer seats. full time 4x4 with locker, 300hp, 350 ft pounds of torque, standard armor (though light) on the bottom, etc.
I'm building an ~4" tall shelf/drawer for the cargo area. this is where I could keep a rifle and mags in a case, and whatever else needs to be kept. Already have a battery jump box, some tow straps, 2 water bottles, and small set of hand tools. also this guy in a spare compartment:
I have a trailer rack that I can throw on and stack with nato cans. if I need to get out of town. I'm going to buy some sort of roof rack so I can use a cargo carrier as well.
so with that, what do I add or do? what modifications/additions/supplies have you added to your vehicle or found that makes life a bit better?
A shovel, chainsaw, come-along.
A few magazines to read while stuck in traffic gridlock. Just so you can keep up with what's going on with the Kardashians.
I drive a Lincoln Towncar. It does have a HUGE trunk that would probably hold 6 months worth of supplies. Other than that it is worthless as a BOV. At least I can die comfortably
Like you I'm a suburbanite who appreciates the gray man approach. My DD is a Toyota Tacoma 4X4 double cab short bed. It's competent enough to hop a curb, cross a median or go in the snow while still being small enough to be nimble in traffic. These are some of the things I've done that are in my truck every day, not everything I'd do or carry if I had time to load up for a bugout.
A flat tire will stop you in your tracks. You know that saying "two is one and one is none"? How many spare tires do you carry? It doesn't take much of a storm to put a lot of debris on the roads and this gets exponentially worse as the event gets more serious. Obviously it's not practical to ride around with multiple spare tires. I carry an air pump (Viair P88), plug kit and a couple of bottles of Slime. I've used the air pump with this truck and I've used the plug kit on vehicles I've had in the past so I'm comfortable with both. I've never used the Slime but by all accounts it works as advertised. Together with the air pump it's probably faster to use the Slime then change the tire, if time were an issue. The fact that you can fix the tire without dismounting it may be of benefit all by itself. Carrying a couple of bottles of Slime is certainly NOT the equivalent of having multiple real spare tires but it may be good enough to keep you mobile in an emergency.
I also feel it important to get out and actually change a tire. Use the tools you have in the truck and see how they work. Where are the jack points and can you get the lug nuts off the wheels? How long does it really take? I learned a lot doing this on my Tacoma and while the factory tools work, I now carry several other things to make the job easier. Reading the manual about how to change a tire is a good thing, going out and changing a tire is much, much better.
My Tacoma has 13 cup holders and I keep a liter bottle of water in six of them. These are all in the doors and for the most part out of sight and out of mind until I need it. It's not just for drinking, I've used it for washing up before getting back in the truck as well.
There are major drive train components (front and rear pumpkin, transmission and probably others) that have breathers installed in them. Lots of 4 wheel drive guys will route these higher up in the vehicle using fuel line. This gets them up and out of any high water you may need to cross. I don't think a little bit of water in the gear oil or transmission fluid would stop you in your tracks but then we don't know how far you might need to go in an emergency. Better safe than sorry and it doesn't cost much to do.
You've already got the jump box (good idea!) but I also keep a spare charger cable for my phone and an AA battery charger with 12 volt adaptor (all my SHTF stuff will run on Eneloops). If you're running the engine anyway there's no reason you shouldn't be topping off every battery powered gadget you might have a use for (including your jump box). Speaking of which, just because you have a USB port in your vehicle doesn't mean it's going to be useful for charging. USB ports charge at various rates (older being slower, generally) and it's cheap as chips to buy one of those 12 volt to USB adaptors built to the latest (and fastest) USB standard. The difference in charging can be HUGE. Pretty much any car audio place should be able to install additional ports in your truck if you want more than the truck originally came with.
If your vehicle hasn't got blue tooth for your phone see if you can get it. Being able to make and take phone calls without taking your eyes off the road is a safety issue in normal times. Being able to do it during an emergency is just that much more important. It came standard with my Tacoma and I'll never buy another car or truck without it.
A come-along as a useful tool and worth the weight. A bumper mounted winch isn't exactly gray man. Sometimes it doesn't take much to get unstuck and it's not always going to be about your vehicle. Maybe that car that's blocking the road is two or three cars in front of you. A come-along might not be as good as a winch but it does allow you to take the tool to the problem. A shovel, a saw and an axe should at least give you a chance with a debris blocked road.
Be aware of the cost of weight. Find a balance in the all the stuff you pack or the mods you do vs the cost in fuel economy. Big tires and a lift may be great in the mud but they don't really do anything for you on the road and they're going to knock miles and miles off your range on a tank of gas. May be worth it but it may not.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.-H.L. Mencken
Since youre looking for more of a low visability approach , first- tires. Not oversized mudders that require 6" of lift, but capable, durable rubber that fits the stock truck- I'm partial to Goodyear Duratracs, they don't stand out as super aggressive, yet quite capable, and available in heavy duty E load ratings. You have to work to puncture one...
Spares. As mentioned, 2 is one, and one is none. However, this would require some external (and visabie) carrier, which increases visability- however, anything "non OEM" will probably stand out with Lexus badging.
A little body armor; front and rear bumpers, and fender protection. Talking abot pushing a car out of the way is one thing- until doing so crumples a fender into a wheelwell and shreds a tire. Yet not really low visability...
Winches are great- IF you know how to use one safely and effectively. They're also both the least likely to be needed piece of kit, and by far the most dangerous. And they don't help with"inconspicuous".... that said, a come along (with about a 2k working load) is NOT a substitute...
FWIW, I'm not sure I'd say that a GX is "pretty much" a Landcruiser... differnent engines, transmissions, xfer cases, gearing, brakes, fuel tanks, fuel requierments, weight, reare access, wheelbase and track, tire size, interior room, towing capacity ... even differnent bodywork... and a $30k price difference; surprisingly, the "luxury" branded offering is less expensive.
They didn't just change the trim level and rebadge the truck... they're quite differnent.
"Landcruiser" is a model that has varying, current, premutations....
Regardless, you can probably increase mobility and survivability of your GX without sacrificing too much "grey man"... tires, front and rear body armor, maybe a second spare on the rear end... not over the top, hard core offroader machine, but enhanced capabilities if needed.
My daily beater is a simple jeep WJ with a .300 blackout and 300 rounds of ammo and the usual medical gear and tools/food. Nothing overly fancy but it is capable enough off road and is adequate for many uses. Gun doesn't stay in the car btw since so many here get triggered by that.....

I like the Grey Man approach as well. My daily driver is a 2018 RAM 1500 4x4 Limited crew cab with the RAM box bed storage. For storing a LOT of "extras", the RAM box, which is a compartment built into each side of the bed, is awesome! I have one side dedicated to emergency equipment. First Aid, tow rope, tools, air pump, come along, ropes, tire repair kits, extra oil, KelTec Sub2000 Glock with extra ammo and magazines, small BOB, water, hatchet, saw, you name it and I probably have it all neatly stowed inside that box. The other side is clear, but able to accommodate a few long guns with ammo and extra mags as well as other stuff if needed. All completely out of sight.
The truck itself has the largest fuel tank available from RAM at 34 gallons, and I have the bed management system that allows me to safely secure additional cans of fuel without having them slide around. Of course the 4x4 combined with a Hemi is an awesome combo, but I also have the air lift option that allows me to, at the push of a button, lift the truck an additional few inches for added ground clearance when needed. Slightly oversize BFG ATs (the latest version with aggressive mud shoulders) give me excellent on and off road traction. On the highway, at reasonable speeds, I can get 21-23mpg for a max range of over 700 miles under optimum conditions, but my real average is around 18.5mpg combined even with my lead foot, which still allows me a more conservative 600 miles on one tank of fuel if I can stay on the pavement. Even when making a trip down to the Mansfield Cut from Padre Island, about 70 miles each way in DEEP sand and locked in 4-wheel drive, I was able to average around 13mpg, which is pretty dang good under those conditions.
Downside is I have a lot of electronics in the vehicle since it is the most luxurious trim level available, so that is a vulnerability, but that's just the reality of today's vehicles anyway. I've come to have confidence in the RAM off road, having had a 2014 and a 2012 before that. With the air suspension lift on this current one it is even more capable, something I've been able to test on my hunting lease with some VERY trying conditions. If it has a weakness it is in soupy mud, but I've been pretty impressed in its ability to crawl up and over rocky terrain without any real issues. Even in mud, if there is a bottom to it, is not too big a problem. Not bad for a cushy ride that has all the comforts of my wife's loaded out SUV and that blends with the crowd as just a nice vehicle, but nothing overtly outstanding.
Back in my youth, when I'd hunt the deep Cascades, I'd start out with 4-6 spares in the bed of the truck... when I got down to 2 (it happened) the hunting was done and we headed out. It was a 1-3 day walk out of the mountains, depending on location.
Tires are subject to all sorts of abuse and road hazards. Belts on decently maintained and serviced vehicles don't break- and the modern-day serpentine belt isn't a user freindly roadside fix....
As for the "two is one, one is none" concept, it originated in the military, to emphasize and stress, to the lowest level, the importance of redundant systems to accomplish a mission. If there's a single point of failure in a system, the entire system is failure prone.from the strategic all the way down to the operational level, no plan is executed without some redundancy and contingency. To do so is to invite failure.
I typically avoid cliches; they tend to over simplify things if one doesn't understand the context... however, in this case knowing the context, the concept is valid.
I carry an extra Crankshaft for my Special Purpose SHTFBOVMRAP. If you need one, it will be invaluable.
I am not a BOV Expert (I had to look up BOV, to see what it meant). I don't think I would ever BO, but I think more likely need to get home. So I guess, I am more interested in BIV... or, GGMSTW (go get my staranded wife vehicle). For those situations I will likely use my daily driver. My truck...
I liked the earlier post... Good tires and reenforced bumpers (stuff I already got) along with reenforced step sides, and I am thinking - good maintenance.
Season and terrain matters... Carry some extras depending on the situation you are most likely gonna need. I hope to hear some new ideas. I got a Weathergaurd Truck Box that has about 4 cubic inches of space still available. Look forward to hearing more comments.
Scotch Brite pad---takes bugs off your windshield. If you'll be driving all night bugs can get thick enough to cut down visibility.
2-meter---handheld shortwave radio for commo. CB is pretty near obsolete.
oxy acetylene tanks, including a small cutting torch---for the same reason you'd want a chainsaw, only a chain saw won't cut through steel obstacles.

> gridlock
This is the elephant in the room that too many people try to handwave away. After the attempted evacuation of Houston last year, we have video of how swiftly roads can turn into parking lots.
If you have to evacuate a whole family, you're pretty much stuck with some sort of car or SUV. If it's just you, or perhaps you and a spouse... you can move right around the lines of stalled cars if you're on a motorcycle. Some of the "adventure" style machines have impressive range for a motorcycle, and if you have to, you can get one over Jersey barrier blockades.
For a family... plain old pedal-type bicycles are a tremendous mobility extender. You can even get trailers (for motorcycles too) to extend your cargo capability. And the whole herd of you can pedal around practicing your SHTF chops without exciting any comment from neighbors.
Gridlock is one of the reasons why I often take back roads, or alternate routes to see what I may have to deal with, or how to get around main traffic areas.
When Matthew turned I95 into a parking lot, and created flooding and washouts throught tbe region, being able to find workarounds (and a capable vehicle) were essential to movement. No truck in the world will traverse a 6 foot wide, 4 foot deep cut in the road...
(in millions of miles, I've never broke or threw one that wasn't caused by failed pulley)
but the ones I've changed didn't get much easier.
(certainly compared to loosening bolts and sliding things)
a 3/8 ratchet and short extension into the spot provided on the tensioner pulley bracket is all it takes.(on the few I've changed anyway)
and the belt routing diagram is under the hood too
easier and faster than changing a tire
to the subject....
what to carry...
water, tools and toilet paper
Basically then, keep your vehicle serviced and fueled up with all the rubber (hoses, belts and tires) in excellent shape plus a spare, jack and lug wrench, flashlight, block, something to cut seatbelts/break out a window, tow chain, quart of motor oil, roll of bailing wire, duct tape, pliers, screw drivers and highway flares. Blankets, shovel and traction chains/cables in the winter, extra water and coolant in the summer.
No different than what any prudent motorist would consider necessary for the road.
I have some good info on essential gear you need to keep on you in your Bug Out Vehicle. Check out my video and let me know what y'all think, or if I need to add anything or take anything out. https://youtu.be/dbiDy91nO1k

*Treme's* Sonny Went To *Nashville!*
And Nashville took him to their heart, as bad-boy music producer Liam McGuinnis.
Knowing Nashville as I used to know the town and the people who made it there, one way and another,, somehow, this seems the perfect trajectory for Sonny the musician -- if he isn't going to be Sonny the Gulf Environmental Activist. :) Which is what I've been going for ....
The funny thing is a while back I was trying to explain to el V that Simon and Co.'s influence upon television, while hardly ever given the visible awards such emmys and so on, are seen all over. Nashville was, I said (without having watched it yet -- had just read articles about it and re-caps ), taking a central theme of Treme and making it safe for white people. Make it music (though in Treme, it's all of the culture that music holds together) and making it specific to a place. Simon and Co., and his mentors, have been doing the culture specific to place, since Homicide. But they don't get credit for it, just like with Deadwood's attitude for language, which you see that oratorical rhetoric showing up everywhere these days from Justified to BBC America's Copper, doesn't get ur-credit, just cheaper rip-offs.
Nashville, centering the most white music there is, and situating it in this totally White Music City, that is the most nostalgic status quo conservative music there is (it's been decades since there was any edge in Country -- and when there was I loved it -- I grew up with Country). And it's all about who makes it and who doesn't, loaded with more graphic sex and more sex, and all white people. Did I mention white people?
And that's where Sonny went. Though it does seem perfect, I never thought that of him. My respect for his respect for the music of New Orleans was higher than that. p)
This is what matters: people / actors who work in a David Simon production keep getting work. I see these actors everywhere, just starting with The Good Wife.. They get good resume and great training.
Even more to the point, without Treme there would never have been a Nashville.

OMG this is so much the perfect statement!!
I was considering Nashville, but I may now have to reconsider.

Well, an actor's got to work, and has the right to work!
So it's not about the actor, let me make clear.
But still, Sonny and his musician trajectory -- Nashville is all about the no--name on-call, fill-in to be sure its as generic as you can get!
Hey, they accused el V of -- and I quote in the papers -- "tearing down the very fabic of country," because -- he had horns in the band.
Not to mention, ah-hem, majorly beautiful dancing latinas ....
Love, C.

Hello, I'm still learning how to "fine tune" things to work with my setup. The one biggie that I'm not digging is the sensitivity of BFD with my V Drum set. My vdrum react very well when I adjust sensitivity of the pads when using the TD-15 brain's internal sounds but the response I'm getting from BFD is off. If I audition the individual drum instruments by clicking over them(especially more towards the "right" side) with my mouse, the sound/impact/quality is fantastic! I'm just not getting that same sound/impact when triggering them from my vdrum pads.
Which settings need to be changed to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!

Every year in July, thousands of hikers and pilgrims climb the summit of the legendary Mt. Croagh Patrick near the town of Westport in County Galway. The annual pilgrimage is undertaken to pay homage to Saint Patrick, and some still follow tradition and walk it barefoot. According to legend, St. Patrick fasted at the summit for 40 days in 441 AD and then banished all the snakes and demons from Ireland.
The 2,500-ft. Croagh Patrick is undoubtedly an inspiring trek, but I opted to keep my boots on while discovering more leisurely hiking routes… read full story in WalkAbout Magazine.

The team opened with a 5-0 win over the Whitecourt Wolverines, and followed that up with a 6-0 win over the West Yellowhead Rockies.
The Trackers opened the game strong out of the gate with two goals in the first period, and followed that up with another two in the second.
With the game well in hand they didn't let up as the Trackers found the back of the net for a fifth time less than three minutes into the period, and rounded out the scoring with 11:53 left in the game.
Scoring in order for the Trackers were Alex Hanson, Wes Shipton, Wes Shipton, Ricky Bateman, Wes Shipton, and Wyatt Gale.
Tavis Veins got the shutout in goal. He stopped all of the 26 shots he faced in the game.
The Trackers will be looking to carry the momentum forward from the past two games into next weekend against Slave Lake on the road when they take on the Thunder for two games.

Benefits of Evidence-Based Treatment
Evidence-based treatments are not as highly-regarded as they are because they have been studied, but they are revered for several different reasons, including the benefits that they can offer.
There is no doubt that addiction is an extremely complex disease. When attempting to treat a disease like this, it is critical that the right treatments are provided in order to prevent a person from going back to their use or worse. Evidence-based treatments, because they have been studied and exercised, have proven to be the safest forms of therapeutic and pharmacological care for the treatment of addiction. Therefore, those who are both obtaining and providing evidence-based treatments can feel confident that their therapy will keep them safe and away from risk.
Evidence-based treatments have proven to be effective in treating addiction — we know that. But that effectiveness is beneficial for a few reasons:
- Patients receiving evidence-based treatments are less likely to require other therapeutic interventions because these treatments are capable of providing the specific care they need to address different aspects of their disease
- The cost of treatment is much less when evidence-based treatments are utilized because patients do not need to keep trying different, unstudied therapies and providers do not need to continually administer various therapeutic services to determine which works best for the patient

Libra Dohko (天秤座の童虎, Raibura no Dōko) is one of the Gold Saints. He is one of the oldest characters in the manga next to Aries Shion, as they both appear in the previous Holy War, and is most known as Dragon Shiryu's mentor. He is also referred to as the Old Master (老師, Rōshi) by all the Saints of Athena, as a sign of respect, even though his only true student is Shiryu.

Personality and background
After the XVII Century war, Dohko lives at the Five Peaks of Mount Lu in China, alone with Shunrei, an orphan girl he took on his care. Dohko is also the master of Dragon Shiryu and Ohko, who is an anime-only character. Dohko represents a father figure to Shiryu, who often recalls his wise teachings whenever facing difficulty in battle. He is often seen as an adviser of the main characters and a good friend of Aries Mu, Shion's disciple.
When Dohko was young, he was much more vivid and rather impulsive. After regaining his young form during the Hades chapter, he retains the behavior of his youth, albeit much more circumspect and mindful, as a result of his almost three centuries of experience as a Saint. Gemini Saga said that he is the strongest Saint (manga volume 7)
Saint Seiya: Next Dimension
In Saint Seiya: The Next Dimension (a sequel of Saint Seiya manga) Dokho is portrayed as a young Libra Saint.
Being a teenager Dohko trained to become a Bronze Saint along with his friends Aries Shion and Crateris Suikyo. Having achieved the status of a Bronze Saint, he is further promoted to a Gold Saint status and dons the Libra Cloth in the face of the upcoming Holy War against Hades.
When a Sanctuary soldier reports that Hades may be staying in the place called Elysium, Dohko wants to rush there immediately but is stopped by Shion, who reminds him that he should first get a clearance from the Pope. After a short argument, Shion decides to accompany Dohko. Once there they find a young man named Alone, sitting in a beautiful field of flowers. This leaves of the young cosmos paralyzed until he sees and speaks to them. Shion tries to behead Alone but is stopped by a young Japanese man called Tenma, who delivers an unsuccessful attack on both Gold Saints, using Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken. Finally, Tenma and Alone flee with their horse without realizing that the horse drops a barrel containing the Pandora Box of Pegasus, Tenma returns moments later to find the box, saw the cloth and attacks Shion. The Gold Saints explain to Tenma the work of Saints and his duty to Athena, so all three are directed to find Alone, but are too late. Pandora had taken the boy to the castle of Hades. When they get near the castle Tenma is attacked by a group of Specters who Shion and Dohko easily overcome.
They are interrupted by Celestial Star of the Nobility, Gryphon Vermeer, who attacks the Saints which can do nothing due to his Cosmic Marionettion. The moment that Vermeer was about to use the final blow he is interrupted by the Judge of the Garuda, Dohko recognizes the voice of Suikyō, now a Judge of Hell. At the time the judge was about to kill them with Infernal, but is then Pandora with Vermeer, leaving it to the other Specters to deal with the Saints
Pegasus Tenma's horse comes and kills a skeleton spectrum, revealing that also brought the Crateris Cloth which is able to heal wounds. When Tenma wakes up, he is surprised because he saw reflected in the water a strange figure. Shion says that watching the water one is able to observe their own future. Dohko looks in the water and sees an old man which is his future self. He gets scared and doesn't want to believe that is him in the future. Subsequently, the three decide to return to the Sanctuary to the Pope to report on the situation, but on reaching the Temple of Taurus the three are stopped by Taurus Ox, who threatens to kill them for having acted without authorization from their superiors.
Then Capricorn Izo shows up saying that he should be the one to punish the three, by which he cuts off the floor with a blow of Excalibur making Shion, Tenma, and Dohko fall off a cliff. Upon awakening, Shion tells others to train hard to become true Gold Saints and thus leave a legacy for the future and to be in optimal conditions provided to restrain the army of Hades. Chased, while Dohko is in the seventh house of Libra, he sees something falling from the sky which turns out to be Dragon Shiryu (his future pupil in the twentieth century), who tells him of his "time travel" and his mission to help Athena. It turns out that the tattoo of the Tiger, which Dohko has on his back, is the symbol for which he was destined to become the gold saint of Libra, which among all the saints, is what it is perfectly capable of judging what is good and evil. Dohko allows his student to continue and entrusted him with the mission to protect Athena. Meanwhile, his old friend Garuda Suikyo reaches the seventh house and both begin a violent duel. Eventually the two fighters clash with their most powerful techniques, and in the end, it seems, Suikyo is dead. In honor of the death of his friend, Dohko recites a poem (Like the flowers bear rains and winds of Yu Wuling, poet Chinese sec.dc IX).
Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas
- Training
Dohko was a former member of the Taonia, a legendary order of warriors originating in the fabled land of Lushan, whose center was Senkyo. They were renowned protectors of peace through the use of the power of the forces of nature. They are only to protect and never to attack. The members of this sect have tattooed on their back one of the beasts that China refers to the sacred. Dohko (As the Taonia Tiger) was a young boy when he trained with his master, who proved to be a huge dragon, who was once a human who became a monster with time after losing a loved one and not being able to stand, filled with hatred and losing his human side. When thought fit, his teacher rose to space disappearing in the stars (hence Dohko learned the Rozan Kōryūha trained alongside Hui, who sought revenge later). Dohko then fulfilled his destiny to go to Greece and become a Saint of Athena.
- The First Mission to Italy
With reports of Spectres showing up in Italy, Dohko heads to Italy to investigate and eradicate any existing Spectres. There he first meets Cyclops Gigant and two others. Dohko has no problems eliminating the three with one move. After the fight, he continues to search for more Spectres. Throughout his search, rain becomes to fall heavily, flooding a nearby river. He then senses a cosmo nearby and investigates. There he sees a young Tenma attempting to break a rock barrier in order to redirect water flow. Dohko saves Tenma from being swept away by the current of the river. The next day, he convinces Tenma to go back with him to Sanctuary to train and become a Saint of Athena. Thus, Tenma becomes Dohko's first student (in theory).
- The Second Mission to Italy
When Silver Saints Cerberus Saint, Auriga Saint, and Sagitta Saint return from Italy to report of Spectres, Dohko and Aries Shion are also present in Athena's chamber. As the three begin to report their findings, they reveal that everyone was killed after finding a castle in the forest. This draws immediate suspicion of the three Saints. At that moment, all three Silver Saints attempt to attack Athena but only to be stopped by Dohko and Shion. Dohko and Aries Shion kill the three in the process. However, before the Cerebus dies, he reveals that the three of them only accepted Hades's resurrection in order to see Athena one last time. Shion and Dohko are both saddened and angered by this and request to the Pope to form a small contingent of Saints to head back to Italy to investigate the castle and eliminate all Spectres. Dohko and Shion choose a few Silver Saints and two Bronze Saints, specifically Pegasus Tenma and Unicorn Yato to accompany them.
When the group arrives in Italy, Tenma's hometown is completely destroyed. Moments later, the now possessed Alone reveals himself as the new Hades. The Saints attempt to fight back but are defeated, only leaving Shion, Dohko, and Yato alive. However, to Shion's and Dohko's knowledge, only the two of them survived whereas Yato was buried in the rubble.
- Invasion of Sanctuary
After the fight enters Virgo Asmita and Tenma in the Underworld, the Saint returns to Sanctuary. Virgo talks with Dohko and says "You know, your younger brother is too energetic but never loses value" and has a strong reaction from Dohko asking "How do you know Tenma?" Later, he witnesses the fight between Bennu Kagaho and Taurus Rasgado. Kagaho had come looking to avenge the fight they had in Italy because the shock waves of the Rozan Hyakuryū Ha had slightly wounded Alone (TLC). However, the Taurus was Saint who received Kagaho and finished beating him, not without being seriously injured himself.
When Alone invaded the sanctuary, Sasha first met Dohko and Shion, who is stopped by Alone.
- Invasion of Hades Castle
Shion and Yuzuriha have fallen by the power of Hades. Tenma and Dohko come hastily to save them. Alone who had been ignoring, has moved his sword to the side to attack and just then, teacher and pupil have joined their powers. Pegasus Meteor and Rozan Hyakuryū Ha have combined efficiently. Alone has been unfazed, with only a flick of his sword to not only stop the attacks but to defeat the Saints. Dohko then sacrifices himself to give Aries Shion (TLC) and the others, a chance to escape.
The top of the pound has dropped armor, the golden aura Dohko body has begun to grow. Libra has made the art Flying Dragon to Alone, a golden dragon appears and it brought the Trident Pound hidden Hades stopped a few inches away.
The plan worked, after all, they were hoping that brief moment to escape with teleportation. The Saints have teleported out of the castle leaving only Dohko. Hades Castle has begun to break down, Alone has dissolved the barrier and out of the place his cosmos. Inside, in the living room, lies the body of Dohko, pierced by the sword right in the heart.
- Athena Cloth
Libra is pierced by the sword of Hades and is believed dead. Kagaho Dohko body leads to Kanon Island to recover. There, the Demon of Kanon Island, Gemini Deuteros helps awaken Dohko, who was unconscious on the island of Kanon, due to injury from Hades, the "Flame of soul wound." Deuteros fingers soaked with the blood of Athena and Dohko pierces the heart, then he wakes up. Deuteros informs Dohko is at Kanon Island where saints wounded heal their bodies and who was in it for a month after he was attacked by Hades.
Dohko Deuteros communicates to Athena's army goes to the Lost Canvas, to which Dohko decides to help, but Deuteros stops him and tells him that if you do not help anything. Deuteros owns a small jar with Athena's blood, where it took a bit to wake Libra. Gives it to Dohko and tells him to go through the 12 temples and deliver blood to the statue of Athena. Dohko asks for if he knew the importance of this secret did nothing, and this tells the time just waiting. The British part of the Shrine.
In their way, is intercepted by Minotauros Gordon, Alraune Queen, and Basilisk Sylphid after overcomes tough battles, but could not prevent Alraune break the vessel containing the blood of Athena. Then Dohko must face Bennu Kagaho, who knows the secret of Athena's armor. Kagaho uses his " Crucify Ankh, "which makes their blood Dohko release (which also has Blood of Athena) in the Statue of Goddess Athena, awakening the Divine Cloth.
Dohko manages to snatch the armor Kagaho hands, just then Gemini Deuteros comes to his aid. Deuteros alters memory Dohko, as the secret of the armor is known exclusively by the Pope.
- Sun Temple
Pegasus Tenma, Sasha, and Leo Regulus have reached the third temple malignant and have encountered Bennu Kagaho. He attacked them head on. But thanks to the cosmos that guided Tenma, Dohko has moved out of Another Dimension and prepare for the rematch. Dohko has reached the third Evil Temple with the intention of confronting Kagaho, but before he has given the Athena Cloth to Sasha. And again we have created a means of
escape to his friends to stand and fight, but now their power has increased thanks to the blood of Athena wearing inside. The others have escaped while Dohko sealed the Corona Blast with his own power, but once again, demonstrated his power Kagaho using a new technique: Rising Darkness, leaving Dohko to death by the terrible dehydration caused by sun black.
When was dehydrated, Dohko reminded his former master, and with that memory, Libra cosmos formed a dragon as if from inside and crushed black sun. Kagaho is being consumed by hatred and is gradually ceasing to be human, but it feels Dohko ever felt Aldebaran and was determined to fight to bring back the human who still lives inside the enemy. Kagaho has finally expelled all the power. The beating of the saint has been terrible but its cosmos Treves, Dohko have seen the image of the enemy lost your brother so long. Now known to Kagaho not quite a monster and that his anger and resentment are due to the loss of a loved one. Raising his cosmos to the maximum, Dohko has dodged the last attack to take Kagaho behind and apply the technique deadliest repertoire: the Rozan Kōryūha.
Kagaho taken Dohko to the back, and together they have raised skyward. Through the flames of his enemy, saw the image of the brother he lost, and his eyes remind him of his teacher and therefore, will do everything to bring him back. If they can not live together on Earth, then both disappear. In those words, Kagaho has mocked him for that sacrifice in vain, but firs,t it has been questioned whether it would be good to be a human instead of a demon that burns everything. Both bodies have come out of the stratosphere and have begun to feel the effects on their bodies and in their armor. Finally, bathed in sunlight, Kagaho has changed his mind and therefore its flames as their wings have changed color, about to die, he sees the light that both were looking for.
Kagaho wings finally changed to the Phoenix original and heart has changed thanks to the sacrifice of his rival and the memory of his brother. The "Last Dragon" Dohko has propelled toward the heavens but, having regained humanity still lived in it, it has taken Kagaho by the neck and saved her life thanks to an explosion Corona Blast who has returned to Earth. It's the end for the Phoenix, and in his last moments have thought of Athena and her saints like Alone in his master whom he believed. Someday will return to this earth and protect him. Alone (TLC) has fired him and asked him to return to his true color.
- Last battle
When Tenma and Shion are fighting Mephistopheles Yōma, Shion is pulled into the Marvelous Room of God/ Spectrum but appears Gemini Aspros him out of the place they sent Youma technique, Aspros Dohko also appears in his arms. When he finally wakes up, barely alive and with her delicate heart, and is taking the battle between Tenma, Alone and Sasha, so with Shion decides to invoke the souls of the twelve Gold Saints to launch the attack Golden Light, which causes Hades to exit Alone's body. Athena decides to give a little of her blood to the heart of Dohko, giving the ability Real Marvelous. Athena decides to carry him, Shion and the other saints wounded back to Earth.
After the defeat of Hades, Shion is shocked to see that there are other survivors, plus Bronze Saints. Finally, the five peaks appear in the constellation Pegasus seeing, speaking of that Tenma has something to tell, noting that in the constellation are Athena, Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga, Shun, and like a shadowed Ikki.
Lost Canvas Anecdotes: Libra Chapter
- Return to Rozan
It has been twelve years in the Holy War, a man named Hao Yin takes his daughter to bring food to Dohko who does not feel the passage of time in the five peaks. Dohko tells about his mission and the secret of his heart. Hao tells disaster in China for all the years that have passed (scores according Hao) and this may be celestial fury of the dragon, then attacking soldiers Dohko appear. Sees in them a few tattoos Senkyou (fairyland) and from that kingdom sent to assassinate former survivor holy war. These warriors are Taonia led by a masked warrior called Liu-Xing . These warriors get into trouble Dohko who still does not know how to manage their heart and interferes Yin not hurt him.

Dohko feel exhausted, still not used to fight with the heart and will demand an explanation-Xing Liu who is very similar to Tenma, by what they say in the world for 3 persons equal and whose age could not be Tenma because if this were alive was older. Dohko Liu wants to take senkyou path that changes every year between the two worlds: Dohko addresses his second home. Dohko has tied all of Liu Xing soldiers but he has escaped. Liu Xing flees swearing Dohko defeat next time and come back for his soldiers, but is very sore from the attack Dohko dragon and falls but is saved by Dohko. Liu Xing explains that all calamities falls in Senkyou have been because it was supposedly the star Dohko misfortune.
Dohko want to help your second home, Liu Xing account that Mr. White Dragon, Hakuryu , died of an illness and a guy named Fei-Yan has taken over. Upon returning, Liu Xing soldiers have been burned by the power of Hui . Hui claimed to Dohko to leave senkyou years of training at the ground with his teacher and apparently has given back to the shrine. The nine-tailed fox with the tiger.

Liu Xing and Dohko enter the temple, but some Sparrows around him and listening to how they plan Dohko kill Liu Xing. These sparrows are actually warriors Sparrow Mǔdān . Mudan Dohko immediately attacks with its destruction of sparrow that several high-power sound waves directly to the body.

He is Feyan who got that great power of nature and watch the shadows on the paper where Hakutaku Dohko called useless Holy War orchestrated by the gods and how he will correct all such failures.
- XX Century
Mu tells Dohko on suspicions that Kido Saori is the Athens of today. Saints talk about how for 13 years the attitude of the Pope has changed and has become malignant, something that could not apply to Shion and Dohko know the current Pope is Aries Shion and evil that has been hidden for 13 years the sanctuary.Dohko be confident Sori that Athena will to light evil and reminds holy war where fought, and Mu tells his students this galaxy in that tournament. Finally says Saori Kido has either already at current Pegasus,Seiya .
Saint Seiya: Episode G
Apart from being mentioned by Taurus Aldebaran in the meeting golden Dohko so far has had a moderate participation. First appeared in a vision of the future where it shows next to Shunrei and Dragon Shiryu at Rozan. In Gaiden, stars alongside Aries Shion, one in which shows the end of the previous Holy War.
His biggest turnout was in a fight with Leo Aiolia against Pontos, God does not understand how Aioria exceeded the speed of light, as this can only be achieved if the divine power, but this makes Aioria effort reaches its limit, right time for Titans to end Saint Leo once and for all. When the Titan was going to end the holy Libra Shield protects you and the great master of Libra Dohko five peaks appeared with his young appearance. Aioria Dohko explains that he can not really move but if you send five peaks cosmos with an illusion of your body to fight against the Titan. The illusion could Aioria protected while and made him remember to trust the great strength of his companions, after that we see in Aries Mu Jamir who raises their cosmos and use his powers to teleport to other Leo Aioria.
Saint Seiya, part I: The Sanctuary
As he became one of the survivors of the ancient Hades War, after the war, Shion was assigned to be the pope of the Sanctuary while Dohko was assigned to guard the seal of Hades. (see Suspended animation) Dohko on the other hand, received a miraculous ability known as Misopetha-Menos, a way to preserve youth indefinitely (some animals are capable of doing this for a short time, in Dohko's case it was the Misopetha-Menos spell). As a normal person has about 100,000 heartbeats per day, Dohko has about 100,000 heartbeats per year with the help of the Misopetha-Menos. Relatively speaking, the 243 years was a mere 243 days for Dohko. This enabled Dohko to live a long life, shrunk from his normal average human size to the one of an old purple man. The condition was that Dohko must stay in the Mount Lu as a watchguard. As the time Hades will be unsealed, Dohko can be prepared to fight off Hades and his Spectres with his youthful body. This divine gift is a secret that even Shion, the former Pope, was unaware of. It is also for this reason that he is exempted from mandatory meetings in the Sanctuary.
Dohko is Dragon Shiryu's Teacher, but Shiryu didn't know about Dohko's past, until Cancer Deathmask came to Mount Lu in an attempt to take the Libra Gold Cloth from him, revealing that he is one of the 12 Gold Saints of Sanctuary. It was implied that Dohko distanced himself from Sanctuary due to his suspicion that his old friend Aries Shion, the Pope of the Sanctuary, has been replaced. During the incoming fight, Dohko wasn't able to help directly the Bronze Saints, but sent his Gold Cloth to Shiryu so he could free Cygnus Hyoga from Aquarius Camus' Freezing Coffin. He also saved Shunrei from drowning when Cancer Deathmask struck her with a telekinetic attack as a gesture to taunt Shiryu.
Saint Seiya, part II: Poseidon
During Athena's departure from Sanctuary, Dohko, acting as the highest command aside from Athena and the Pope, ordered all of the Gold Saints to remain in Sanctuary to prepare for a greater battle that is ahead. However, his spiritual guidance has helped Shiryu overcome many enemies, especially against Megrez Delta Alberich, in the anime-only Asgard saga. To aid the Bronze Saints in the battle against Poseidon, he also ordered Kiki to deliver the Libra Gold Cloth to them, which helped them destroy the Pillars of the Seven Oceans.
Saint Seiya, part III: Hades arc
His most prominent appearance is in the Hades chapter, when he felt that the Hades seal finally broke, so he goes to the Sanctuary to fight against Hades, and then turns on the fire clock. Hades revives some dead Saints, including Aries Shion, the former pope. Shion and Dokho meet again, and eventually the two fight. During the fight Dohko attempts to use his supreme attack, the Mount Lu One Hundred Dragons Wave to defeat Shion, but it failed to defeat him. Shion stated that Dohko, being 243 years older, could not possibly stand a chance against him, having his youth restored by Hades. He proceeds to defeat Dohko, but just the moment Dohko want to die with Shiryu together, the Libra Cloth appears before Dohko and defends him. Unlocking the memories of wearing the Libra Cloth, he then breaks the power of longevity and turns back to his original young form to be able to fight properly. His purple skin has gone. The tiger image reappears on Dohko's back and is now evenly matched with his former friend. Dohko wants Shiryu to go to join the Gold Saints and apologizes to Athena for the coming because she had not allowed Bronze Saints to come to Sanctuary. Dohko's Mount Lu One Hundred Dragons Force collides with Shion's Stardust Revolution. Both are vanished. Later on, it would be Dohko who tells the Bronze Saints (except for Seiya and Ikki) before they entered Hell, that they had to acquire the Eighth Sense in order to advance in this realm without losing their lives.
Athough it had not mentioned, Dohko killed many Specters along the way from the entrance of Hell to the Wailing Wall and he was familiar with them since he had fought against them 243 years ago (see Lost Canvas and Next Dimension). His final appearance was along with his fellow Gold Saints to break the Wailing Wall, as only the combined powers of the Twelve Gold Saints can break the wall because the Gold Cloths were being bathed in the sunlight for a long time. He told the Bronze Saints that Hades' true body was hiding in the Elysion. Upon the gathering of the combined powers of the 12 Gold Saints, the Wall of Lament was destroyed and opened the gateway to Elysion Field, but doing so cost the lives of all of the Gold Saints.
Heaven Chapter: Overture
In the Heaven Chapter: Overture his soul is sealed with the other Gold Saints when they talk to the gods and say they always be loyal to Athena. Although being sealed he would encourage Phoenix Ikki and Andromeda Shun to fight against the angel of Artemis.
Saint Seiya Omega
- This section is a stub.
Power and abilities
As a Gold Saint, Dohko has mastered the 7th sense, giving him great strength and the ability to move at the speed of light. He also achieved the 8th sense so he could go to the Tartarus.
Dohko has shown some telekinetic/psychokinesis abilities as well as telepathy. Although he only showed a few techniques during the story, it is implied that he can use all the techniques that Dragon Shiryu can (except Excalibur), since he taught him those techniques.
- Rozan Hyakuryu Ha : Mount Lu One Hundred Dragons Force (廬山百龍覇, Rozanhyakuryūha): Dohko's ultimate attack. It takes the form of one hundred dragons.
- Note: in the Anime-only Asgard arc, he was shown using the Shoryuha in a flashback to his youth. As the Asgard arc doesn't exist in Kurumada's manga, Dohko's appearance in it differs from Kurumada's official design.
- Rozan Shō Ryū Ha (Rising Dragon Punch): Dohko maximum intensifies his cosmos and gives a blow with his fist or kick, the upward energy is comparable to the image of a majestic dragon which rises in the sky.
- Rozan Ryuu Hi Shou: Unlike the Shou Ryuu Ha, which summons dragon energy to uppercut an opponent vertically, the Ryuu Hi Shou dragon energy lunges at its target horizontally.
- Rozan Kou Ryuu Ha: This is basically a suicidal attack, embodied in a dragon energy which sends Libra flying higher and higher through the planet's atmosphere and ultimately blasting through it into space. He can, however, drag someone else along for the ride to suffer the same fate.
- Misopheta-menos: A gift from Athena herself. It slows down Dohko's metabolism in order to extend his life span for various generations.
Dohko's armor, the Gold Libra Cloth, contains 6 pairs of weapons to be used by the Gold Saints. Despite this, those weapons should not be used freely and it is up to the Libra Gold Saint to determine when they are needed. The weapons of Libra are 2 Swords, 2 Tonfas, 2 Lances, 2 Nunchuks, 2 Sansetsukons and 2 Shields. Each weapon is highly powerful, able to do things that even the combined power of several Gold Saints could not do.
Other media
In the games for PS2 Dohko is an available character and he can use the same techniques of his pupil Shiryu.
Cloth, constellation and Temple
Dohko's guardian constellation is Libra, and his Gold Cloth represents it and its associated myth: The scales held by the goddess of justice Astraea. The temple he once guarded was known both in manga and the anime adaptation as Ten Bin Kyuu (天秤宮), the "Temple of the Scales."
As Masami Kurumada revealed in his sidestory prequel Saint Seiya Next Dimension, Dohko was originally a Bronze Saint and was awarded the Gold Saint status and the Libra constellation later. Thus, the original guardian constellation Dohko bore is yet to be revealed. He is also one of the main characters in the Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas sidestory prequel. Since the two prequel exclude each other, which one is canon is unknown.
Unlike most of the Saints, none of the attacks he uses takes the form of his constellation, but instead take on the form of a dragon, similar to Shiryu. Even more unusual is that his symbolic creature, seen when his draws his full power, is neither the Libra nor a dragon, but a tiger.
Masami Kurumada used in his manga the Chinese concept of the duality of the tiger and dragon, in his characters Dohko and Shiryu. That's the reason for tiger and dragon images that appear on their backs when they burn their Cosmo.
- Masami Kurumada took some creative liberty when designing the Libra Gold Cloth, as it includes weapons that did not exist in the time of the ancient Greeks. The swords, shields and the spears were commonplace in Greece. The tonfas, nunchaku and the setsukons originated in Asia, specifically Japan and China, a long time after Hellenic civilization had decayed, and thus were unknown to the ancient Greeks. As Kurumada has practiced martial arts since his youth, these Asian weapons mark an instance where the influence this has exerted in his various works is evident, as related elements and techniques can be found throughout them.
- In some translations of Kurumada's manga, the Chinese reading of the kanji that form Dohko's name, Tóng-Hǔ, is used instead of the Japanese reading, to relate the character to his country of origin.
- Also, Masami Kurumada added the tiger-dragon duality motif to the Libra Gold Cloth. The helmet of the Libra Gold Cloth closely resembles a tiger's head when the Cloth is not being worn (shaped in the style of Chinese and Japanese tigers found in old paintings).
- In the anime adaptation, Dohko's black hair color was modified to auburn.
- The experience of Dohko's rejuvenation can be concluded from Greek myth stories too which Heracles beat Geras(old age) and married Hebe(youth), if these deeds were assembled.
- Dohko has been accurately depicted in the anime "Soul of Gold" as the shortest Gold Saint of the current generation (170cm).

BRITONS will spend an estimated £1.7bn on health and fitness clubs this year even though one in five visit less than once a month.
The fitness market has grown from £682m in 1996 to almost £1.4bn last year. Using industry estimates it is expected to generate £1.667bn this year.
Despite this increase, the survey from Mintel shows that the number of people visiting their gym has dropped in the past two years.
In November 1999, 35pc of fit-ness club users went three times a week or more, compared with 34pc in August this year.
Only 3pc of users went every day and those who said they worked out once a week had dropped by 4pc.
The survey found that sunbeds were one of the most popular attractions.
The survey holds a warning for fitness club owners, with almost half of users saying their memberships are overpriced, an 8pc rise on 1999.
Those most likely to resent paying the prices were 20- to 24-year-olds.
Richard Bowyer, leisure consultant at Mintel, said clubs should concentrate more than ever on helping users to fight obesity.
"The implications for health club chains are that they are going to have to focus more on the provision of weight-management programmes than ever before," he said.
Mr Bowyer also advised clubs to offer users an alternative to simply pumping iron in the gym or running on a treadmill.
"In general, a more holistic approach is being taken towards health and fitness. Consumers are interested in a wide range of exercise activities, explaining the popularity of tai chi and Pilates, and alternative therapies such as reflexology and aromatherapy,"

Photo R-L: Oscar Onyema, Chief Executive Officer, The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and Karim Hajji, Chief Executive Officer of Casablanca Stock Exchange signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate with each other for the growth and development of the two exchanges, in the presence of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari and the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI in Abuja at the weekend.
The equities market closed flat on Monday as sustained rally in Oil & Gas stocks offset sell-offs in Industrial Goods and Banking equities. Consequently, the All Share Index gained a marginal 1bp to close at 25,743.03 points while market capitalisation added N758.6m to settle at N8.9tn; thus ensuring the rebound in equities which began last week after a prolonged period of intense sell pressure was sustained. The major buffers to the broadly neutral performance were FORTE (+10.2%), ZENITH (+2.3%) and NIGERIAN BREWERIES (+1.4%). Activity level was mixed as volume traded fell 69.6% to 175.1m units while value traded rose 133.2% to N3.1bn.
Mixed Performance across Sectors
Performance across sectors was also mixed as two indices appreciated while three declined. The Oil & Gas index chaired sector gainers, improving 3.6% on account of gains in TOTAL (+10.1%) and FORTE (+10.2%) while the Consumer Goods index trended 5bps northwards due to positive sentiment toward NIGERIAN BREWERIES (+1.4%). On the flipside, the Industrial Goods index depreciated the most, sliding 1.5% following sell-offs in WAPCO (-4.2%). The Insurance and Banking indices also followed suit, losing 1.2% and 0.5% respectively.
Sentiment Weakens
Bearish sentiment prevailed as market breadth stood at 0.7x - 15 stocks advanced against 23 decliners. The top gainers were FORTE (+10.2%), TOTAL (+10.2%) and OANDO (+7.8%) while GUINESS (-9.7%), VITAFOAM (-5.0%) and REDSTAREX (-4.9%) declined the most. The weak sentiment amidst flattish performance of the broader index highlights investors' apathy for equities despite attractive valuation. We expect this to continue until the "Santa rally" begins to usher in a new year as investment managers reposition portfolios.

As my birthday approaches in the next hour I'm reflecting over this past year. Twenty-five was really good to me. I am a caterpillar in a cocoon. I will soon be a beautiful butterfly, but I'm not in any rush. I don't know how long my metamorphosis will take, but I am going to continue to enjoy this journey of becoming this beautiful butterfly. I can't wait to see all of the beautiful vibrant colors and show them off to the world. Until I break out of my cocoon, I will not allow anyone to disturb my cocooning stage. Even in nature, if you disturb the process of the caterpillar in the cocoon, you risk botching the transformation. I've grown a lot and learned so many things about myself. I learned how to let go of things that no longer serve me or aids in my growth. I learned how to get out of complacency and choose the things that are best for me. I allowed myself to live life freely without hesitating. I found my inner peace and learned how to center myself in that peace. I am continuously enjoying my own company while learning and understanding things about myself that I never know.
Twenty-five was a beautiful year for me. A year that I will always remember. If twenty-six tops twenty-five I am ready for the ride. Thank you twenty-five for all the lessons and all the memories. I thank God for allowing me to have such a blessed year and allowing me to reach twenty-six.
Happy New Year to me! Alright, twenty-six… let's get it poppin'!

Gettin` Hot In Here!
Comments : 0
Weather has changed. Getting warm and supposed to be blazin` come the weekend. Fishing was really good for a bit, but has since slowed way down. Focusing on finishing up the fall salmon season bookings, on call sheets, and the house. Have a ton of projects going on around here, and also at moms place. Have some time, might as well bust ass and get things put back together, and ready for autumn.
Sara`s new job is going well. Nice to see some people who are attentive, kind, have some integrity. That other place? Well, they can pretty much rot as far as we are concerned. Positive, and a family atmosphere is much more pleasant. Good to see her happy.

Material: This super-soft, baby-knit t-shirt looks great on both men and women – it fits like a well-loved favorite. Made from 100% cotton, except for heather colors, which contain polyester.

Max Leokov has watched the people around him find love.
At one point in life, he not only wanted that, but lived for it.
He loved once. He loved with all his heart.
His heart broken, he was left to care for his young daughter.
He deserves a second chance.
Helena Kovac has spent years studying.
She has worked her ass off to get her degree.
She doesn't have time for love. Hell, she doesn't have time to mess around, even.
Books and work are her life. Everything else comes second.
When Max and Helena join forces to help his daughter, Ceecee, they are shocked at the spark between them.
A cynic.
A workaholic.
When love hits, it hits hard.
And sometimes, love hurts.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars
Oh, how I love this series!! I hope that Belle Aurora writes about 10 more of these. Such great characters, but….
I did not love Helena in the beginning of this book. She was very judgmental of Max and it quite frankly pissed me off!! However, as the book progressed, I really did love her, but not at first.
So Helena is Nat's (book 2) sister. She gets a job in New York and moves into Nat's old apartment. She has been attracted to Max since Nat's wedding, but Max totally blew her off that night. They spend time together, and Helena decides she doesn't like Max, and tells Nat. Nat then tells Max, and he makes it his mission to get Helena to like him.
Helena is also a Physical Therapist, and starts to work with CeeCee, Max's daughter, who suffered a spinal cord injury and was in a wheel chair. I loved the relationship Helena developed with CeeCee. It was very sweet and seemed very genuine. The end of this book though…I'm still thinking about it.
If you like great people, funny dialogue and steamy sex scenes, then this is the series for you. I hope there are 10 more:)

About GenghisQuan
Cool Cruiser
Recent Profile Visitors
The recent visitors block is disabled and is not being shown to other users.
Doc reverted. Looks like someone needed to double check the header name before editing the worksheet.
For sure. I just felt it needed to be pointed out because most status match programs with other industries/services just give you the status but not the corresponding nights. For example, I have Marriott Gold via the credit card, but it doesn't give me the corresponding total elite nights for that status, so if I want to make Lifetime Gold or Platinum, I still need to accrue those normally.
TBH giving you the points to get you to the status is much better than just giving you that status, as it makes it much easier for you to get to the next level of status. Only problem with MSC's program is that you need to cruise with them once every...3 years, was it? Because your status will expire otherwise.
Carnival Cruise Line stock
GenghisQuan replied to Runaway Parent's topic in Carnival Cruise LinesWelp, it's down again to 44.5/share, likely due to overall market uncertainty shenanigans.
Bringing Liquor into China
GenghisQuan replied to zukecruiser's topic in AsiaSurely you meant "also partake in the local "baijiu". Some of them will make Granny's moonshine smooth as a glass of cool water "
Jeez, did someone at MSC have a horrible experience at a Marriott property or something?
On which itineraries are balconies worth it?
GenghisQuan replied to GenghisQuan's topic in Cabin Selection TipsThe blurry residue obscuring the window from about 0:04 of that video seems like the biggest argument against an OV for Alaska unless it's significantly cheaper than going balcony.
Is it the waters between Cabo and LA, or between LA and SF as seems to be implied by other posts?
No, but the flights themselves aren't too different from each other. Ooh, posturing, how fun! Seriously though, your favorite lines include high-end luxury lines like Windstar, Oceania, and Seabourn. Clearly you do expect expect the cruise line to do much more than provide you with transportation, food, and board.
On which itineraries are balconies worth it?
GenghisQuan replied to GenghisQuan's topic in Cabin Selection TipsDo people generally find balconies necessary for Caribbean, Mediterranean, Mexican Riviera, or Panama Canal itineraries?
I was kind of considering LA/Long Beach/SD to be the same area, as they're not too far from each other. Hmm, might need to look into Southwest, then.
I'm sure that sounded a lot more worldly and sophisticated in your head, rather than "I like throwing away money for no reason". Don't know about you, but my money on a cruise goes towards an enjoyable vacation. The cruise lines are hardly doing me a favor by granting me the privilege of cruising; they're providing a service that I pay money for, and if a specific itinerary doesn't offer as much value as another one, why would I pick the former over the latter? Now if I were to lower myself into the mud pit of generational mudslinging, I could point out how the Boomers turned American dynamism into stagnation, inequality, and bipartisan fiasco...but that's neither here nor there. Instead I'll simply point out that the NY Post article seems to treat the Boomers' formative experience of railing against their parents' lack of understanding about drugs and premarital sex and rock and roll, as well as their later divorce rates, as somehow less worthy of contempt compared to what's ultimately merely some perceived immaturity caused in large part by the vividness fallacy. Then what do you expect from the cruise line? A mere three square meals and a cot?
CCL stock gets hit this morning on earnings news:
GenghisQuan replied to DaveOKC's topic in Holland America LineWelp, looks like it's holding steady for the past 2 days. Just went in on 100 shares in my Roth so I can enjoy delicious tax free dividends and eventual onboard credit.
Best loyalty program?
GenghisQuan replied to GenghisQuan's topic in Ask a Cruise QuestionSo just so I'm understanding correctly, it's 5% off whatever price paid, regardless of whether it's booked directly or through a third party vendor? If you book third party, do you need to then contact MSC for this or is it automatic as long as your loyalty ID is provided?
So if I'm understanding correctly: Going southbound from Bay all the way to Cabo is fine. Going from Cabo to LA is fine. Going from LA further north is chop?

Broncos' Fangio: 'I don't see racism at all in NFL'
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio called George Floyd's death a "societal issue that we all have to join in to correct," but said he doesn't see discrimination or racism as problems overall in the NFL.
"I think our problems in the NFL along those lines are minimal. We're a league of meritocracy, you earn what you get, you get what you earn. I don't see racism at all in the NFL, I don't see discrimination in the NFL," Fangio told reporters Tuesday when asked about his experiences in the league over the past four decades. "We all live together, joined as one, for one common goal, and we all intermingle and mix tremendously. If society reflected an NFL team, we'd all be great."
Floyd, a black man, died last week in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes. Fangio opened Tuesday's call by saying he was outraged by what happened.
"I was shocked, sad and angry when I saw what the policeman do to a handcuffed George Floyd on his stomach that led to his death," Fangio said. "He should be punished to the full extent of the law of the crimes he was charged with in addition to being charged with treason for failing to uphold the badge and uniform he was entrusted with … It's a societal issue that we all have to join in to correct."
Fangio has publicly supported the Rooney Rule in the past, which is designed to increase the number of minority candidates interviewed for head-coaching jobs, and the league is trying to expand the rule's scope, but his "no racism" comments Tuesday brought reaction on social media. Some of the responses noted that Colin Kaepernick has remained unsigned since protesting in 2016 about the excessive use of force by police and social injustice.
During the 16-minute session Fangio said he has encouraged his players to protest, and singled out Broncos safety Justin Simmons' efforts on a recent day in Simmons' hometown of Stuart, Florida.
"I thought it was great, Justin is a great person, a great leader, got his head screwed on correctly, he sees the problems and how they need to be solved," Fangio said. "He's searching for solutions and it's easy for everybody to identify the problems … we need to search for solutions and I think Justin is one of those guys who will find solutions."
Broncos CEO Joe Ellis had a virtual meeting with the players and coaches Tuesday about what the team could do, and what the players wanted to do, in moving forward in social justice initiatives. Fangio said he would speak to the players about the same topics on Thursday.

The Nature of Oman's Relations with Iran
Relations between the Sultanate of Oman and the Islamic Republic of Iran extend back to the ancient civilisations that inhabited both regions. At first, trade was the only connection between the two countries. This later evolved into the Persian occupation of Oman which ended in the first century BC after the battle of Saloot. However, these ancient relations are irrelevant to this paper which seeks to examine the nature of the relations between the two states in current times. Oman recognizes Iran as an ancient civilization, not just a new or modernized state. Oman does not ignore the role of Iran in the region and gives it its deserved attention. This is because Oman understands Iran's significant contemporary and historical position in the Middle East.It is undoubted that Omani influence reached the Iranian territories through the message of Islam. This was the result of Omani merchants and travelers who sailed through the golden strait (Hormuz) to the Iranian border. Moreover, some Persian and Arab tribes settled in the north cost of Oman and lived peacefully together till the modern days. Oman-Iran's relationship is based on reciprocal respect and not interfering in the internal affairs of both states. The security and logistic cooperation between the two states was very strong in the 1970s and reached its peak in 1977, when the Shah of Iran visited Oman. In the 1970s, Oman signed several agreements, many of which were with Iran, to secure itself from communist threats.

As usual, there are plenty of new and thrilling laptops at CES 2018, with Acer's efficient Swift 7 one of the majorities moving off the lot. It's the world's thinnest laptop, thrashing its own evidence with a few upgrades thrown in for good quantify and it was such an awesome laptop.
Acer invents the best generation in comparison to the previous generation, the new Swift 7 steps up the game with an even slimmer framework, influential performance and always-on 4G LTE connectivity for professionals on the go."
Many products at CES will never reach the market, but we already know that the new Swift 7 (SF714-51T) will be available in Europe starting in April.
Price of Acer Swift 7 will start at £1,599/$1,699 – that's a reasonable price for their, which was available for around or less than £1,000.
As you might expect, a design is a key element here. The Swift 7 was by now very slim at just 10.16mm but the solid has managed to cut off the framework down to 8.98mm.
That's attractive and amazing, especially when you consider it means the Swift 7 is actually slim than a number of recent and new smartphones.
A slim side view also equates to insubstantial manufactured goods and the Swift 7 is a true featherweight at approximately 1.2kg – the preceding model was 1.12kg. This is because of a few things but mostly the calculation of a touchscreen.
So it's slim and light but it also looks the fraction with Acer doing a great job of creation it modish and sleek. It's partly down to the tin shape but also a few tiny touched like a beveled border of the aluminum remains.
That aluminum uni-body is smooth to touch and also gives the Swift 7 plenty of rigidity.
It might not come in handy very often, but the screen can fold back 180 degrees from the shut position. That means it's not a 2-in-1 but is certainly flexible, we just can't think of many situations where the screen needs to be flat on a desk.
However, there are some downsides to having such a thin design and that starts with ports. You won't find any traditional USB ports here and certainly nothing like HDMI or Ethernet.
Instead, you'll find a pair of USB-C ports, headphone jack and on the other side is a power button and a nano-SIM slot.
Acer also has some adapters will be incorporated though, potentially one for HDMI and one for Ethernet.
The other issue is the keyboard as really, the best experience requires lots of space. The keyboard is backlit and there's some travel, but not much. Depending on what you're used to, the change could take some acclimation.
It's a shame that despite being a few hundred pounds more expensive, the Swift 7 for 2018 comes with a 7th-generation Intel processor. We'd expect 8th-gen now they have been announced and available for a while.
That said, it is a Core i7 chip which is an upgrade from the Core i5 in the previous Swift 7. There won't be a variety of dissimilar configurations of the processor so you'll have to be content with 256GB of storage space and 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM. We'd wait for a small additional at this cost top actually.
There are upgrades in other areas through which do somewhat account for the price rise. For starters, the screen is larger at 14in – up from 13.3in within the same size frame.
So bezels are smaller and the Full HD IPS display is now touch sensitive, which these days we find far more useful than when laptops first started getting a touch.
During our hands-on time, the display showed good color, brightness and was also responsive.
The webcam has been moved to below the screen to allow for the size jump and Acer has also added a fingerprint scanner to the left of the keyboard for Windows Hello log in.
Earlier we mentioned the nanoSIM slot but there's also an embedded eSIM. Acer says the Swift 7 ships with a Transatel profile provisioned with up to 1GB of free data valid for one month in 48 countries, including the UK.
4G LTE connectivity on a laptop will be very handy for some users and the Swift 7 also has 802.11ac Wi-Fi with a 2×2 MIMO mast at the underside of the cover.
Acer claims battery life at a decent 10 hours, via Mobile Mark 2014. That's more than its precursor and inspiring when you believe how little room there is for the battery is a laptop this slim, for more details contact us at our Acer Customer Service Number.
