Just one visit down the Weed Hatch revealed this collection.
Waiting under a bridge at the top of the Aston Lock Flight.
The Aston flight locks were more widely spaced but less well-maintained than the Farmer's Bridge locks. Also the canal was much shallower leading to considerable difficulties for us in the two bottom pounds in which we ran aground several times.
Along the next reach we observed amongst the mass of floating rubbish two (unmatched) armchairs and a sofa all appearing to have been in good condition before recently entering the water.
Discarded Chesterfield sofa.
We ran aground on this stretch a couple of times and in Minworth Middle Lock our propeller became entangled with a tyre that took considerable effort to dislodge. We were very happy to reach Curdworth and after mooring up took a lengthy stroll through a new secure business park to find an attractive pub alongside a very busy road. The meal there could best be described as 'OK' but was reasonably priced and the beer was good.

It was my first trip to Singapore and the hotel I chose was actually not the right option.The Receptionist was rude and could not speak nicely even once.The little old guys was still nice and helpful.I would not like to talk about the room as it was really sad specially the location of the room.Bedding was great but Air conditioning could not reach.But Kudos to that sweet Houskeeping lady.Washrooms were decent.But over all not value for money !
My experience counted service issues. if these guys would have dealt with me nicely , I would have not thought about the product.After all we are in service industry and a positive apprach towards a foreigner is very important.

Griffith ObservatoryRead MoreGriffith Jenkins Griffith earned his fortune mining silver in Mexico and selling real estate in southern California, but his passion for establishing Los Angeles as a great world city inspired him to donate more than 3,000 acres for use as a public park. He developed yet another plan for this land after the Southern California Academy of Sciences presented him with a chance encounter to gaze through the lens of a 60-inch telescope, which reportedly led him to remark, "if all mankind could look through that telescope, it would change the world!" Griffith Observatory embraces its founder's passion for astronomy as well as civic responsibility, presenting the public with the opportunity to observe and better comprehend the cosmos. The iconic Observatory's exhibits help explain the immeasurable vastness of space by examining the tools and methods that humans historically used to track the stars. It even allows visitors to interact with some of these tools. A 9,000-pound, 12-inch Zeiss refractor telescope juts forth into the nighttime sky and gives patrons a new perspective on common celestial sights, such as the Moon and the trail of bread crumbs that rockets leave on their way to the Moon. The Observatory's three solar telescopes accomplish a similar feat by providing real-time images of the Sun, complete with visible sunspots and solar flares. In the 300-seat Samuel Oschin Planetarium, audiences gaze at a seamless display of star fields while a presenter shares invaluable astronomical knowledge. The 200-seat Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon multimedia theater hosts a variety of lectures and educational films.2800 E Observatory RdLos Angeles, CA US
Cabrillo Marine AquariumRead MoreA giant forest stretches across most of California—but its impossible to hike there. Submerged just off of the state's rocky coast, large kelp forests make a home to diverse animal and plant life. Moray eels, leopard sharks, and giant sea bass all swim beneath the water, while sea otters splash at the surface. That's just one of the habitats on display inside the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. The 21,000-square-foot aquarium showcases Southern California's rich marine life, making it the largest aquarium of its kind in the world. The Susanne Lawrenz-Miller Exhibit Hall charts a journey through different regions, from the open ocean, to the mudflats, to the sandy shores. Other areas present a more immersive experience. The tide pool lets visitors touch a starfish, while the exploration center lets them crawl into a tunnel, where they find themselves surrounded by octopuses, sting rays, and other creatures that have signed contracts to make public appearances. Cabrillo Marine Aquarium wants to keep all of these creatures around for the long term. Case and point: the aquarium houses a research library and an aquatic nursery, where the team raises young sea animals and trains young scientists.3720 Stephen M White Dr.San Pedro, CA US
Ripley's Believe It Or Not! OdditoriumRead MoreRipley's has enthralled audiences for more than nine decades with its dedication to revealing odd and unexplainable rarities from around the globe. But it all began with one man: Robert Ripley, a wildly successful and eccentric character who rose to fame during the first half of the 20th century. After selling his first cartoon to Life magazine at age 14, he set out on a quick-paced career of drawing sports cartoons for the New York Globe. During a slow day at the office, he sketched nine unusual sporting events and finished his work with a title: "Believe It or Not!" It became immensely popular, allowing Ripley to travel the world in search of more bizarre stories to put into his comic strips. While visiting relatively unknown areas in locales such as India, China, and the inside of his neighbor's chimney, he picked up a slew of unbelievable souvenirs that later became fixtures in several of Ripley's museums, or as they're affectionately called today, Odditoriums. Ripley's now encompasses publications, attractions, a television show, and a blog, all of which carry Ripley's tradition of reporting on the world's curiosities.6780 Hollywood BoulevardLos Angeles, CA US
Zimmer Children's MuseumRead MoreFor the staff of Zimmer Children's Museum, teaching kids to express themselves goes hand-in-hand with teaching social values, like community responsibility, cultural sensitivity, and environmental sustainability. The museum sprawls across two floors filled with interactive exhibits, including Rhythms of the World, where kids can explore the sounds of instruments from foreign countries, and the S. Mark Taper Aid and Rescue Center, where they can learn disaster-response skills and climb aboard an authentic Coast Guard raft. At Discovery Airport, they can take the helm of a private plane. In addition to exhibits, the museum engages small visitors with free programs ranging from story time and open art-studio sessions to the Culture Club: a gathering that introduces kids to international music and food. Seasonal classes taught by arts educators and early-childhood-development specialists promote multi-sensory learning, and the bilingual Jugando Grande program teaches kids how to giggle and play in English and Spanish.6505 Wilshire Blvd.Los Angeles, CA US

@nascarcasm dreams up what friends and foes texted 'Smoke' RELATED: All content from @nascarcasm " Follow @nascarcasm So, Tony Stewart is stepping away from full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition following the 2016 season? Good thing @nascarcasm is here to dream up some fake texts to 'Smoke' after last week's news.
MORE: Stewart announces that 2016 will be final season in NASCAR's top series KANNAPOLIS, N.C. -- Stewart -Haas Racing unveiled Clint Bowyer as Tony Stewart 's successor Wednesday, shedding light on the plan to replace the three-time NASCAR premier-series champion upon his retirement at the end of next season. Bowyer said when it became evident that there was a vacancy at Stewart's No. 14 ride, he didn't hesitate. "They didn't have to call me," Bowyer said with his patented grin. Though the spotlight shone brightest Wednesday on Stewart , one of NASCAR's most popular drivers and a surefire bet for first-ballot induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Bowyer's piece of the puzzle provided an extra source of intrigue for the four-car organization's future. The news also provided Bowyer with an opportune landing place after rocky recent weeks with his current team, Michael Waltrip Racing . "I don't think I got fired; it just went away, and somehow you landed in a way better situation," Bowyer said to laughter in Wednesday's news conference at HaasF1's sprawling new headquarters. "Do you ever hear that term when you fall in a pile of cow manure and come out smelling like roses? That's exactly what this is for me." Bowyer's timetable for inheriting the No. 14 Chevrolet ride in 2017 includes a one-year gap in his driving duties. He shied away from giving specifics regarding his 2016 plans, despite speculation he would shift to the two-car HScott Motorsports outfit for a one-year stint in the interim. Bowyer hinted that next season's part of the equation could become clearer by this weekend at Dover International Speedway . "Yeah, there's going to be some more announcements later in the week as far as where we're going for next year," Bowyer said. "But for this announcement, why I'm here today is to announce the long‑term future plan for me." Stewart initially joked that his handpicked selection for the No. 14 Chevy was retired driver "Handsome" Harry Gant, the 75-year-old veteran whose last season in NASCAR was 1994. Besides a tongue-in-cheek comment about Gant's and Bowyer's common thread with "immaculate hair," Stewart applauded the team's newest driver, saying that his hero and friend -- racing legend A.J. Foyt -- would approve of the hire. "You know, everything in racing is timing, and the opportunity to get somebody like Clint Bowyer , I mean, that's when you know you seize the opportunity. We're probably going to have a hard time working together and communicating with each other. We probably won't have any fun racing," Stewart said with trademark sarcasm. "It's the right time, it's the right opportunity, and when somebody in a scenario like Clint's this year came about, you jump on those opportunities, and you know that timing is everything." In a compelling contrast, the details for Bowyer's future emerged as the fate of his campaign in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs simultaneously faced a crossroads just six miles away, where Michael Waltrip Racing was appealing P4-grade penalties against Bowyer's No. 15 team at the NASCAR Research & Development Center. RELATED: MWR penalty upheld in appeal Bowyer qualified for this year's Chase on the basis of his rank in the Sprint Cup driver standings, but the team opened with a thud in the Chicagoland opener. Penalties stemming from a pre-race infraction for improper track-bar and suspension mountings essentially negated the team's 19th-place finish, digging a large deficit in the opening three-race Challenger Round. The 25-point penalty was upheld Wednesday by a three-member panel, keeping Bowyer last in the 16-driver postseason field with bleak odds of advancing from the Chase's opening round this weekend at Dover International Speedway . The appeal is another tipping point in Bowyer's final days with MWR. The team announced Aug. 19 that it would shut its doors at the end of the season, granting Bowyer his release and freeing him to seek employment elsewhere. That freedom resulted in landing nicely on his feet, claiming what he called "one of the best rides ever in the history of the sport." "I mean, this is a champion's seat that I'm filling, so that being said, this is an unbelievable opportunity," Bowyer said. "Just like I said earlier, to think of that door opening, and holy cow, the timing couldn't have been any better for myself. Just somebody was looking after me." Bowyer has eight victories in NASCAR's premier series -- five with Richard Childress Racing , where he drove from 2006-2011, and three with Michael Waltrip Racing (2012-2015), all coming in his first year with the team. Bowyer's 2012 campaign remains his most successful with a second-place result in the final Sprint Cup standings. But besides the performance and accomplishments, Bowyer also brings an affable, cooperative element to the mix of personnel and personalities at Stewart -Haas. Though Bowyer said Wednesday that he would miss racing against Stewart -- his future boss, but also his friend -- he also looked forward to building chemistry in the next stage of his stock-car racing career. "That being said, damn, I'm glad that you decided to retire and open this seat up for me," Bowyer said to Stewart , "but you know, it's just all about people, it's all about culture for me, and I think the fit factor couldn't be any better."
RELATED: Watch live at 1 p.m. ET " Sources: Stewart to step away after '16 Stewart -Haas Racing has called a news conference Wednesday with driver and team co-owner Tony Stewart at 1 p.m. ET, the team announced Sunday night. Multiple sources confirmed to NASCAR.com that the driver will announce he is stepping away from NASCAR at the end of the 2016 season. The event will have video live-streamed -- bookmark NASCAR.com/presspass to tune in. Stewart , a three-time champion and 48-time winner in NASCAR's premier series, currently ranks 25th in the Sprint Cup driver standings. He placed 11th Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway , just missing his third top-10 finish of the season. Stewart became a team owner through a partnership with Gene Haas starting in 2009; since then, the Stewart -Haas team has grown from a two-car to a four-car operation. Two of the team's drivers -- defending series champion Kevin Harvick and former series champ Kurt Busch -- qualified for this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup playoffs.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 30, 2015) -- "When I think of Tony Stewart , unmatched passion and a pure love of the sport come to mind. He has won championships and millions of fans. But he has given back so much more, and that's what I admire most. Today's news was bittersweet for all, but we know Tony will continue to be a big part of our sport in his roles as a team and track owner. On behalf of the entire NASCAR family, I thank Tony for his many years of excellence and competitiveness, and wish him nothing but the best in his final season as a driver in the Sprint Cup Series."
RELATED: Photos of Stewart through the years " Bowyer tabbed as replacement Three-time premier series champion Tony Stewart smiled and conceded it was a "formality at this point" in announcing Wednesday afternoon that he would step away from full-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition following the 2016 season. "It was a choice that is 100 percent mine, no pressure from anybody," Stewart said of his decision not to compete full-time anymore. "If anything, it's been the opposite, more people trying to talk me out of it. "Everyone in their career makes a decision when it's time for a change. I think deep down you know when it's time to do something different and make a change like this." Appearing jovial and without a hint of second-thought about his career decision, Stewart joked he was bringing Harry Gant out of retirement to drive the the Stewart -Haas Racing No. 14 Chevy in 2017, then confirmed that actually Clint Bowyer would be taking over his seat. The news confirmed months of speculation and rumor about Stewart's future and solidified Bowyer's career path as well with Bowyer's Michael Waltrip Racing team closing operations at the end of 2015. "It's all about people, all about culture for me, and I don't think the fit factor could be any better," said Bowyer, acknowledging the SHR ride was "one of the biggest powerhouses in the sport" and said an announcement is coming later this week about his 2016 plans. Wednesday was clearly more about "the people's champion" as Stewart is often referred. One of the most popular and accomplished champions to ever compete in NASCAR's marquee series, Stewart , 44, has won three premier series titles as a driver (2002, 2005, 2011) and two as an owner (2011, 2014), accumulated 48 victories and won over countless hearts as a kind of extreme throw-back talent garnering comparisons to racing's all-time greats such as A.J. Foyt and Dale Earnhardt. Quite simply, Stewart won in every car he drove. And NASCAR fans always appreciated that about the driver known by his nickname, "Smoke." RELATED: Drivers react to Stewart's announcement Stewart won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in 15 straight seasons from his 1999 rookie year through 2013, and he has 11 NASCAR XFINITY Series wins in 94 starts -- roughly winning once every 10 times he tried. He won twice in six NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts and had five top-10 finishes. "When I think of Tony Stewart , unmatched passion and a pure love of the sport come to mind," NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said in a release. "He has won championships and millions of fans. But he has given back so much more, and that's what I admire most. Today's news was bittersweet for all, but we know Tony will continue to be a big part of our sport in his roles as a team and track owner. On behalf of the entire NASCAR family, I thank Tony for his many years of excellence and competitiveness, and wish him nothing but the best in his final season as a driver in the Sprint Cup Series." The 1997 IndyCar champion -- and 1996 Indy 500 Rookie of the Race -- proved his mettle against motorsports' best drivers, winning four times in IROC competition, earning the 2006 IROC championship and finishing runner-up in 2001. In 1999 he completed racing's Memorial Day "Double," finishing ninth in the Indianapolis 500 and fourth in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 later that same day in North Carolina. Stewart was the first driver in history to win all three major United States Auto Club national championships -- Midget, Sprint and Silver Crown -- in a single season. So after essentially four decades behind the wheel fulltime, Stewart said he contemplated this decision for a while and said this week, he is completely at peace. "I've learned a lot about myself," Stewart said. You run through the range of emotions. There's days you're like, I can't wait, and then there's days that are like, man, do I ‑‑ you battle back and forth. "I'm not leaving the sport I love. I'm not walking away from something I'm passionate about, I'm just changing roles, which it's like just moving to a different position in a company. "I'm not really retiring, I'm just changing positions." RELATED: Best quotes from Stewart's press conference It's been an admittedly uphill climb for the champ after the last three seasons of horrible injury and extreme heartbreak. He missed the last 15 races in the 2013 season after suffering a compound leg fracture while competing in a sprint car race. Then last year, while still mending from that injury, Stewart was involved in another sprint car accident. This time, another competitor, Kevin Ward Jr., was killed when, after approaching Stewart's car on track during a caution period, the car struck Ward. Stewart sat out three Sprint Cup races immediately after. No criminal charges were found to be justified against Stewart ; the Ward family filed a civil lawsuit against him a year later. On Wednesday Stewart stressed that his decision to stop driving in the Cup series full-time had "zero percent to with (the Ward situation)" and that physically, "my leg feels fine, there's nothing wrong with my leg." He said he may even compete in Sprint cars again. He listed the Rolex 24 at Daytona as a possibility and mentioned racing modifieds and making sporadic starts in the XFINITY and Camping World Truck Series -- all things he plans to do without the stress and full schedule of racing full-time in the Sprint Cup ranks. RELATED: Tony talks toll on leg, life In the past two seasons, Stewart has struggled to post the kind of top-shelf results both he and his fans had grown accustomed to seeing. But he has consistently insisted that was more to do with the current rules package than his off-track distractions. He said earlier this year that NASCAR's new high downforce, low horsepower car does not suit his style and is actually "the opposite of everything I've ever driven. "It's like I'm in the middle of a calculus equation and I didn't take pre-calculus,'' Stewart told NASCAR.com this May. He is currently 25th in the Sprint Cup Series driver standings with a sub-standard two top-10 finishes in his No. 14 Bass Pro Shops/Mobil 1 Chevrolet this year. But he was adamant that he would not be coasting in his final season and that this decision was not "performance based." Stepping away from his NASCAR driving duties, Stewart's focus shifts to running his beloved Eldora Speedway in Ohio and to being a team owner. His resume out of the car is already as impressive as his work behind the steering wheel. "It's just time to do what we're doing," Stewart said. "I still fully anticipate we're going to get things turned around. If I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't waste my time next year for anybody. I'm not a guy that's going to get in a car and ride. We're full steam ahead. "We're going to keep working and try to win as many races as we can next year, and that goal is going to be ‑‑ when you guys get to February, go ahead and write this down, what our goals are for the year, we're going to try to win races, try to win the Daytona 500 , then the Brickyard 400, the Southern 500, and try to win a championship." Ultimately, stepping away from his NASCAR driving duties, Stewart's focus shifts to running his beloved Eldora Speedway in Ohio and to being a team owner. His effort out of the car is already as impressive as his work behind the steering wheel. His namesake Stewart -Haas Racing No. 4 team is the reigning Sprint Cup owner champion thanks to Kevin Harvick 's 2014 championship run, and two of his team's four drivers -- Harvick and Kurt Busch -- are in this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup . This summer Stewart collected his 10th Knoxville Nationals trophy in the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series fielding a car for driver Donny Schatz, who has also delivered five World of Outlaw championships for Stewart . He has 23 national titles as a team owner. "I've won more car championships as an owner than a driver," Stewart said "I'm definitely as competitive as an owner as I am a driver. …That fire's still there and that's what makes this transition easier." While his success driving and fielding cars is partly responsible for Stewart's incredible popularity over the years, he is also one of the sport's most robust personalities. RELATED: 'Smoke' still the people's champion He's not afraid to express his displeasure at his competitors' blunders, and the other drivers have come to expect either face time or bumper time with him after on track run-ins. And Stewart's "no-fools" tolerance policy extends to the media covering his career. There are highlight reels devoted to showcasing him sparring with reporters in press conferences and on pit road -- his wit and sarcasm legendary with the media corps. He grinned broadly and warned the room of reporters on Wednesday that he will not follow the guide of four-time champ Jeff Gordon who has met with the press nearly every week during this -- his last -- year of NASCAR competition. "Let's establish this right now: I will not be coming to the media center every week to talk about it,'" Stewart said smiling and shaking his head. "You can save your gifts. I've got enough rocking chairs at home as it is. I bought those when I wanted to go sit on my own rocking chair. You don't have to give me one. "I'm content to go race and be around the racing community and the racing family and be around our fans," he continued. "They can just send me a note from the track president and say, hey, thank you, and that'll be sufficient for me. "I think it's been very fitting for Jeff [Gordon]. I don't think I'm worthy of that kind of admiration because I think Jeff has really done so much for the sport that nobody will ever be able to do again. I think that kind of celebration is reserved for somebody like Jeff." One thing Stewart has across the board is respect -- from his competitors, to the fans and to the media who will be watching closely to see how this next chapter in his career and life plays out. He gave a couple hints on Wednesday afternoon. When it's time to drop the green flag for the 2017 Daytona 500 – the first one run without Tony Stewart on the grid since 1999 – the champ says he hasn't figured out quite yet where he'll be, but spoke about one possibility. "I'll probably be on some fan's motor home on the back stretch promoting our sponsors," Stewart said laughing. "I have no idea where I'm supposed to be yet. I've got a whole year to figure that out."
MORE: Stewart announces that 2016 is final Cup season KANNAPOLIS, N.C. -- He was loose and smiling, joking and what, jovial? Has Tony Stewart ever been described as jovial? We've seen him laugh and cut up. Have fun from time to time. We've also seen him drive the wheels off a race car. Sadly, we've seen too little of those recently. The smile was there Wednesday though, no doubt about it. RELATED: Bowyer tabbed for No. 14 duty in 2017 It was there when he and co-team owner Gene Haas stepped out from behind the Carolina blue curtains and took their seats on the stage. And it was still there when Stewart , Haas and fellow driver Clint Bowyer departed approximately 50 minutes later. On Wednesday, Stewart announced that the 2016 season would be his last as a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver. Bowyer is his handpicked replacement for Stewart -Haas Racing 's No. 14 Chevrolet. It isn't a retirement, Stewart was quick to note, explaining that "I'm not walking away from something I'm passionate about; I'm just changing roles. … I'm not really retiring, I'm just changing positions." RELATED: Best quotes from Stewart press conferences He expects to bring the same intensity to his ownership role as he has displayed on the track. He'll be actively involved, probably to the displeasure of more than one NASCAR official, he added. There have been plenty of opportunities of late for the 44-year-old to step aside. The broken leg suffered in a sprint car crash in 2013; his involvement in an on-track fatality during a sprint car race last summer; a 2015 season that's shaping up to be the worst of his 17-year career in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. But none of those were a factor, he said. "It's all about timing. There was not one thing that led to this other than I just felt like it was the right time." The opportunity to bring Bowyer in house played a huge role. "You jump on those opportunities," Stewart said. "It just all meshed." It wasn't a knee-jerk decision. No "woe is me" tale of self-pity. Stewart looked and sounded as if it was a decision he had begun formulating long before his career suddenly became tabloid fodder. He has nothing left to prove on the track. There are races Stewart would like to win -- the Daytona 500 and Southern 500 have managed to elude him thus far. A fourth championship wouldn't be a bad way to leave, either. But with three titles (2002, '05, '11) and 48 career victories, Stewart's NASCAR resume needs no padding. RELATED: Stewart through the years He was already well down the path to a successful career as a racer long before NASCAR became an option in the mid '90s. And his career as a driver was nearly a decade old when Haas reached out with an offer to become partners prior to 2009. Along the way, numerous enterprises have sprouted up -- from track and team ownership to real estate and public relations companies. Piece by piece, an empire has been built. Opportunities became realities. "Everything happens for a reason, and you look at my career and you look at all the different entities that we have, nothing was ever part of a master plan," Stewart said. "It all just came about with opportunities coming at the right time and I think this was one of those as well." WATCH: Memorable moments from Stewart's announcement Other racing opportunities, in a variety of series, are out there, so Stewart's '16 season likely won't be the last time fans see him behind the wheel. The when and where won't be determined until later. The Sprint Cup effort -- SHR fields entries for defending series champion Kevin Harvick , Danica Patrick and '04 champ Kurt Busch as well as Stewart -- will be his focus beyond '16, though. "You know, it's kind of a bittersweet day," he said. "I'm excited about it, but at the same time I'm sad about it as well. I love what I do with NASCAR and I love what I do as a driver, and the great thing is I'm not going anywhere." Folks that step away from the sport for any length of time will tell you that it's the people that they miss most, and Stewart's no different. He hasn't forgotten the people that called or texted when he was injured; those that reached out last summer, and those that contacted him when word of his announcement broke earlier this week. "It's all the guys in NASCAR," he said. "It's all the guys at SHR, and it's co‑owners and other owners in the series, other drivers, crew chiefs. Those are the people that I'm -- that's the reason I'm not going anywhere. I couldn't stand to be away from that family." The 2016 season will be different as the end of his Sprint Cup career draws nearer, but in many ways it will be the same. There are still races to be run, to be won and a title to be decided. And Stewart's not one to back down from an opportunity. "I mean I still want to win races," he said. "I can't think of a better way to go out than to go out on top and to win races and win a championship. "We're going to continue to put all of our effort toward that. … I can promise you, next year is not a coast and collect year."
Debating 'Smoke's' reported retirement after 2016, No. 4 team's strategy RELATED: Subscribe to NASCAR Illustrated " Harvick shoves Johnson post-race MORE: Stewart to retire from Sprint Cup action after '16 " Bowyer tabbed for No. 14 Tony Stewart 's reported retirement following the 2016 season was big news this week. Jimmie Johnson heading back to Dover, where the No. 48 team has been dominant in recent years, will headline the weekend. And come next Monday, four drivers will have fallen out of the Chase. Will defending champion Kevin Harvick be among them? We cover all of that and more in this week's installment of Herman Unplugged. NASCAR ILLUSTRATED: Tony Stewart 's retirement after next season means two of our biggest champions will be gone from the competitive landscape in the span of a year. How will losing that amount of star power impact the sport and should NASCAR be concerned? HERMAN: "I think from the standpoint that Dale Jr. is gonna be 41 here in no time. We're looking at our sport's biggest stars by far and we're in that time where these drivers are not racing into their 50s no more. I see the new era of drivers quit in their mid-40s, because all these guys like Jeff, Tony and Dale, started as teenagers. Look at a Harry Gant or drivers back in the day that started in their 20s. It makes sense that these current guys who started young and came in at the right time making millions of dollars a year are leaving earlier. Their bodies have a lot of wear and tear. NASCAR knows we have to put a really big emphasis on Joey Logano now and guys like Brad Keselowski . Whether we like it or not, these guys are our next big superstars." NI: Speaking of Keselowski, his comment about NASCAR being an entertainment sport and not a fair sport after getting black-flagged on the restart was entertaining itself. Was it a case of sour grapes or did he have a beef there? HERMAN: "We always have conspiracy theories. I like Richard Buck, I've talked to him and he's invited me into the NASCAR trailer. I truly believe that Brad was just the first one; I don't believe that NASCAR made an example out of him. He was just the first one. If that's being made an example of, so be it. But that had major implications. This was not a normal race; it had championship implications. That's not an easy one to swallow. And when you get out of the race car like that, I think NASCAR recognized that you can't take what he said wholeheartedly even if he meant it. You gotta give that guy a break. It hurt and he was able to overcome it somewhat but he probably lost 5-8 points and that's a lot." NI: Kevin Harvick now faces a must-win scenario at Dover to advance in the Chase. Point blank: Should Rodney Childers have taken a more conservative approach at New Hampshire? HERMAN: "Because I'm a racer, I'm never gonna second guess. All I'm gonna say is this: They ran him out of gas at Watkins Glen and at New Hampshire and that could have meant bonus points. It is true that he shouldn't have run out of gas at either place. But I think what I've learned is why cut it so close because he's so fast and can pass people at will? I'm sure that they've learned that we'll never do this again." NI: Jimmie Johnson has won seven of the last 13 races at Dover. Does he get another victory in his 500th career start on Sunday? HERMAN: "I'm going on the record and picking Harvick to win Dover right now. He did a walkoff twice last year. He had to win Phoenix and he did. Then he went to Homestead and he won again. They're gonna lose a lot of sleep between now and Dover but I think he wins it. I'm going out on a limb. If Kevin Harvick does not move out of the first round, this will be one of the biggest upsets in the new modern era Chase format. I think Harvick will put the bumper to Jimmie to get it. If you look at the last two races there, Harvick should have won this fall race last year and then he ran second earlier this year. The one race he was dominating he lost a valve stem in the wheel. I just see Harvick doing whatever it takes." SUBSCRIBE NOW!

Podcast highlights three-time Cup champion's accomplishments The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is upon us. This week, however, it was made clear that NASCAR's silly season might be upon us as well. The news that Tony Stewart will no longer be piloting the No. 14 Stewart -Haas Racing Chevrolet after the 2016 season was yet another shock to the system for NASCAR fans who will see two icons of the sport, Stewart and Jeff Gordon , retire in subsequent years. The Dirty Air Podcast crew, along with special guest Chris Rice of NTS Motorsports, were among those coming to grips with the retirement of a fan favorite. The NASCAR landscape will soon be without any drivers that ran in the Cup Series full time in the 90s, which may come as a harsh realization to those of us who think they are much younger than they are.

BOSTON, Nov. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers studied the treatment of pregnant women with hepatitis B virus (HBV) with Telbivudine in their second to third trimesters. The study concluded that both the mothers benefited from treatment and no transmission of HBV to newborns was detected at 28 weeks postbirth.
The study presenter and co-investigator Calvin Pan, MD, anticipates a "very powerful impact in the field, as hepatitis B is difficult to eradicate and currently there is no treatment modality that can cure the disease. Blocking the vertical transmission from mother to infant will eventually decrease the disease burden in the future generations with the hope to eradicate HBV from the earth."
Current vaccines and HBIG given to a newborn do not work well when the mother has a high viral load and is HBeAg positive. According to Dr. Pan, "Transmission rate to the newborn in this population is about 15 to 30 percent, resulting in a newborn with lifelong HBV infection 90 percent of the time."
For this study, pregnant women with high levels of HBVDNA enrolled in the treatment arm of the study were given 600 mg daily of Telbivudine. All newborns received three doses of hepatitis B vaccine. Patients in the treatment arm achieved sustained virologic response rate (SVR) of 53 percent prior to delivery and 62 percent four weeks after delivery. None of the patients in the control arm achieved SVR at either point.
Only four percent of newborns in the treatment arm tested positive for hepatitis B, whereas 23 percent of newborns from the control group tested positive. None of the patients treated with Telbivudine had to stop treatment due to adverse events. No congenital deformities were observed up to 28 weeks after birth. There were no measurable differences in postpartum health issues for mothers and newborns between the treatment and control groups.
Dr. Pan realizes the limitations of this study: "The infant follow up is limi

Sorry, JT!
Amanda Seyfried may have starred in two films with former *NSYNC singer Justin Timberlake, but the 26-year-old actress is opening up about the fact that he never wowed her during his boy band years.
"I was obsessed with *NSYNC," she tells Conan O'Brien. "Who wasn't?!"
But while millions of teenage fans fawned over Timberlake, Seyfried -- who would go on to costar with the now 31-year-old in "Alpha Dog" and "In Time" -- couldn't be bothered.
PHOTOS: Sexy 90s celebs then and now
"[Justin] wasn't my favorite -- I didn't even find him attractive in fact!" she told O'Brien, instead pledging her allegiance to JC Chasez.
That's not to say that Seyfried doesn't think highly of Timberlake, who appeared as her love interest in In Time.
PHOTOS: Justin's hottest film and TV roles
"He's a very respectful, intuitive man and in some ways, just the perfect guy for a woman," Seyfried has said of Timberlake, who proposed to girlfriend of four years Jessica Biel in December 2011. "He treats his mother really well. He's really funny. He has a lot of humility. He's just very aware."

We have always had a passion for cars and driving. Now Traffic offers us an exceptionally rich understanding of that passion. Vanderbilt explains why traffic jams form, outlines the unintended consequences of our attempts to engineer safety, and even identifies the most common mistakes drivers make in parking lots. Based on exhaustive research and interviews with driving experts and traffic officials around the globe, Traffic gets under the hood of the quotidian activity of driving to uncover the surprisingly complex web of physical, psychological and technical factors that explain how traffic works.
©2008 Tom Vanderbilt; (P)2008 Books on Tape
mostly nonfiction listener
"Driving Towards Traffic"
"Traffic" freaked me out. I knew that 40,000 people died each year on our roads. And I knew that a car accident was the most likely way that trauma would encroach into my world. Vanderbilt gives me lots more things to worry about (like Dr's have the 2nd highest accident rate, pick-up trucks are dangerous to everyone else, new cars have higher accident rates then older cars, and intersections are bad news for bikers, runners, and drivers.
This is a book I'd like my girls to read as a prerequisite to getting their license (and I'll install the driver cam that Vanderbilt writes about being effective in teaching young drivers defensive skills).
Read the book. Slow down on the roads.
"Thumbs up. May not be for everyone."
You know, I'd have to disagree with the first member review.
I purchased this audio book to take a break from science fiction and I blazed through this book while... listening to traffic. Yes, the author does present a lot of various studies and data, but he manages to put everything into a sort of context that progresses smoothly. Heck - he's even able to make a joke every once in a while.
He presents different aspects of traffic: psychology, sociology, traffic engineering, safety devices, etc. All these various topics seem to merge together in the final conclusion, no pun intended. So, I think in the end, you have to be able to tolerate through a lot of numbers, so to speak, otherwise I'm sure you might get kind of lost in the presentation of the material. If you don't care about understanding the various mechanisms in traffic, you're not going to get anything out of this book.
I did really enjoy this book - a lot of the topics I found personally interesting and I walked away with a slightly different perspective of the world around me.
"Interesting Content, Well Narrated"
While this book may not have all of the answers, it is far more thoughtful and thorough than some of the reviewers let on. I read/listen to mostly science books and biographies, but I got this book on a whim and was pleasantly surprised.
The author is philosophical and witty, and is rarely patronizing or redundant. The content flows nicely and the narration is spot on - making it well suited for the audio format. If you are looking for a good audiobook that is a change of pace from your typical genre, give this book a try.
"Kept me enthralled for a 13 hour car ride"
Well written, filled with fascinating statistics and information. I was hooked the entire time. This is the rare audiobook I will listen to twice, then buy the hard copy. I'm thinking seriously about requiring my kids to read it before they begin driving.
"Interesting Read"
This book does have a lot of statistics but it organizes them around certain themes to make them more comprehensible. I found it very interesting. It made me look at driving differently. Hopefully it made me a better driver. Certainty a better educated one. I thought the narration was very good.
This is a book about human nature wrapped in the bacon strips of purposeful motion. You do need to be interested in how and why things work, but if you are, this book is chock full of delicious tidbits that make you really want to send it to your local DoT. Regardless, there are a multitude of those moments when you either see yourself or someone you know (or if you're listening on the road, someone you're watching). This book should be mandatory reading in every drivers' ed class.
This book drew my attention to all sorts of aspects of traffic that I had never thought of: most dangerous moves at an intersection, when to merge, why straight roads should have some curves, etc.
Vanderbilt does a great job of tying together a bunch of distinct studies and aspects of traffic. Also, Vanderbilt does a great job of defining technical terms so the reader can keep up with the engineering.
The narrator is easy to understand, and is easy to listen to.
I don't write book reports.
"Bus Drivers"
This book could had been better if there was illustrations on the different types of traffic. Diagrams with traffic patterns would had been nice. I like the information that was presented, but let's face it, most drivers seems to get their license out of a Cracker Jack box, including most public bus drivers, which I encounter daily because I take the bus.
"Traffic" was okay to listen to. I needed an informational book. Should they sell this book at the DMV, probably not, but they should print some of the tips and facts that Tom Vanderbilt covers.
"great listen with good narraration"
this is one of those books where you expect to know a lot of the answers ahead of time and then the author delivers a lot of information that you didn't realize you cared about until he says it.
lots of examples that are research driven.
Marc Cashman does an excellent job, i never got bored with his narration style and look forward to more books with his narration.
yes, it was very captivating and much more interesting than i was anticipating. i listened to it as a recommendation from a friend and it exceeded my expectations.
Addicted to Audible since 2009
"Just Okay"
I was really excited about this listen but to my disappointment this book did not live up the expectations. With that said, while it didn't wow me, it was good and there were several interesting points that I did take out of it. Not bad but nothing special either.

The idle directory, idlelib, has over 60 xyz.py files. The idle_test
subdirectory should contain a test_xyy.py for each one. (For test modules,
make 'xyz' lower case.) Each should start with the following cut-paste
template, with the blanks after after '.'. 'as', and '_' filled in.
import unittest
import idlelib. as
class Test_(unittest.TestCase):
def test_(self):
if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main(verbosity=2, exit=2)
Idle tests are run with unittest; do not use regrtest's test_main.
Once test_xyy is written, the following should go at the end of xyy.py,
with xyz (lowercased) added after 'test_'.
if __name__ == "__main__":
import unittest
unittest.main('idlelib.idle_test.test_', verbosity=2, exit=False)
In Idle, pressing F5 in an editor window with either xyz.py or test_xyz.py
loaded will then run the test with the version of Python running Idle and
tracebacks will appear in the Shell window. The options are appropriate for
developers running (as opposed to importing) either type of file during
development: verbosity=2 lists all test_y methods; exit=False avoids a
spurious sys.exit traceback when running in Idle. The following command
lines also run test_xyz.py
python -m idlelib.xyz # With the capitalization of the xyz module
python -m unittest -v idlelib.idle_test.test_xyz
To run all idle tests either interactively ('>>>', with unittest imported)
or from a command line, use one of the following.
>>> unittest.main('idlelib.idle_test', verbosity=2, exit=False)
python -m unittest -v idlelib.idle_test
python -m test.test_idle
python -m test test_idle
The idle tests are 'discovered' in idlelib.idle_test.__init__.load_tests,
which is also imported into test.test_idle. Normally, neither file should be
changed when working on individual test modules. The last command runs runs
unittest indirectly through regrtest. The same happens when the entire test
suite is run with 'python -m test'. So it must work for buildbots to stay green.
To run an individual Testcase or test method, extend the
dotted name given to unittest on the command line.
python -m unittest -v idlelib.idle_test.text_xyz.Test_case.test_meth
To disable test/test_idle.py, there are at least two choices.
a. Comment out 'load_tests' line, no no tests are discovered (simple and safe);
Running no tests passes, so there is no indication that nothing was run.
b.Before that line, make module an unexpected skip for regrtest with
import unittest; raise unittest.SkipTest('skip for buildbots')
When run directly with unittest, this causes a normal exit and traceback.

A handful of well-chosen tools will help you take on almost any job around the house. Here's how to begin stocking your toolbox.
Here's an assortment of tools that will see you through simple projects, such as hanging window coverings or filling nail holes in drywall.
If storage is tight, buy a screwdriver with interchangeable tips. Otherwise, opt for a set of separate screwdrivers in sizes you'll use most: three sizes of slotted-screw drivers and three Phillips-head screwdrivers in #1, #2, and #3 sizes.
A 16-ounce claw-style hammer will handle most jobs around the house. The more you use one, the more you'll appreciate a cushioned grip.
Buy a 25-ft. model with a blade lock. The blade should be at least 1-in. wide to keep it from collapsing when extended beyond a few feet.
Two must-have models: 8 in. needle-nose pliers and 10 in. groove-joint pliers. Groove-joint pliers are particularly useful for plumbing projects because of their wide-opening jaws. Your hands will thank you for getting pliers with padded grips.
Also, a pair of locking pliers works almost like a portable vise, letting you focus more strength on turning jammed screws or pulling out bent nails.
A basic model with a retracting blade will work. Options include non-slip handles and tool-free blade changes. Buy a supply of replacement blades and avoid using a dull blade.
You'll find a use for these even if you eventually add a set of combination wrenches or a socket set to your tool bag. Buying added quality in these tools will yield jaws less likely to slip and damage your fasteners.
A 9-in. "torpedo" level comes in handy for leveling everything from pictures to a new clothes dryer. Before you drop one in your cart, double-check the bubble accuracy by centering it on one of the professional-quality 3-ft. or 4-ft. box-beam levels in the store.
A model with a 2-in.-wide blade can handle everything from applying wall patching compound to scraping away loose paint.
Start with a 3-ft. version and add longer ones as your projects require. The wider the body, the less it will flex during use.
Whether you're setting up tools or marking lines to cut, you'll need an accurate square. Popular types include a try square (also called a "miter square") and the triangular squares such as the Swanson Speed Square. The type doesn't matter as much as its accuracy, so check it before leaving the store using the tips below.
Any sturdy flashlight will do for starters, but you'll soon wish you had one you don't have to hold while you work. Options include flashlights that can be tilted and aimed where you need light and ones with a headband for hands-free aiming.
Eventually, you'll come across some dangerously sharp metal edges that need to be dulled or dull edges that need to be sharpened (such as a lawnmower blade). A 6-in. mill file offers two flat faces. To keep them in good shape, clean them with a stiff-bristle or brass-bristle brush.
Accidents do happen. To keep them from happening to you, make a habit of wearing safety gear. Even if you wear eyeglasses with impact-resistant lenses, flying debris could damage them and even find its way to your eyes. If you don't wear glasses, today's safety glasses can protect you in style. If you do wear glasses, consider a pair of goggles large enough to slip around them. As you add power tools, such as circular saws, you'll want either in-ear or muff-style hearing protection. When working in dusty conditions, a respirator provides a more comfortable way to protect your lungs than paper masks.
You can find both corded and cordless drills to fit any budget, so which should you choose? If you're thinking of dozens of projects where you'll regularly drill holes or drive fasteners, choose a cordless model between 12 volts (for small jobs) and 18 volts (for pretty much anything). If you only use a drill infrequently, pick up a corded drill and a heavy-duty extension cord. You'll get more power at a lower cost and won't have to wait for a battery to charge. A little extra money will buy you even more power and a 1/2-in.-capacity chuck—the part that expands and contracts to grip drill bits and accessories of different diameters—that handles larger bits than a 3/8-in. chuck.
Someday, you may add a miter saw or table saw to your workshop, but you'll always find uses for a 7-1/4-in. circular saw. Add to its versatility by equipping it with blades suited to specific projects: a 24-tooth blade for rough carpentry, a 40-tooth blade for finer cuts in hardwoods (and with less splintering), and 180-tooth blade for smooth cuts in plywood and MDF (medium density fiberboard).
After a few projects, you'll soon get tired of working on the ground or on a tipsy card table. A simple pair of sawhorses can provide a steady surface at a comfortable level.
Sets come in two types: SAE (or standard) wrenches are sized in inches (1/4 in. and 1/2 in., for example) and metric wrenches sized in millimeters. Choose SAE wrenches if you'll be working on fasteners around the house. For automotive repairs, though, you may need a metric set (or both). By the way, they are called combination wrenches because one end is enclosed and studded with "points" that grip the corners of a bolt or nut. The other end is open and useful when you can't slip the closed end in place.
Woodworkers have a saying: You can't be too rich or have too many clamps. Start your collection with ones sized for the types of repairs you'll do the most. A couple of 24 in. bar clamps that you can tighten with one hand will handle many medium-size projects. If most of your repairs are minor, pick up some smaller versions.
Your best bet for most projects is a random-orbit sander with a 5-in. pad. For most work, you'll need sanding pads ranging from 80-grit (for coarse sanding or paint removal) to 220-grit sandpaper (for fine woodwork).
The more tools you own, the more sawdust you tend to make. Choose a model that can be fitted with a collection bag that traps fine dust particles − a handy feature for cleaning up after drywall repairs.
The more you use your basic tools, the more uses you find for them. Soon, you'll need tools that do more than drive fasteners and patch walls.

Could use a better draft control
I really love my VC Montpelier. It is my first stove so I had to learn a few tricks such a stop down fire building to get the most out of it. It burns very clean and can heat almost my entire home when I supplement warm air flow to the second floor with a couple of small fans. The draft control really could use more air flow on startup to reduce time to get a hot fire going. Once the fore is started and I have a bed of coals this insert pretty much runs itself. On Long Island oil is crazy expensive and I expect savings to be $1000-$1200 per year. This is my first year so I had to buy wood to get started. However there is an abundance of free Red Oak available in pre-cut rounds so I just have to do the splitting and wait a year to have free fuel.

The Gothenburg Times had a great article about Joe Shifflett that can be read here.
Nebraska just pulled off the sweep of the Scratch Poker Drawing and Perfect Attendance Drawing. Matt Heron from the MVP Lounge in Omaha, NE got his name drawn for the perfect attendance drawing. Living only a shade over 100 miles from Matt, Shane Guill from Wakefield, NE was lucky enough to get his card drawn for the Scratch Poker Drawing. Both are the first players qualified for the 100 WSOP National Championship end of June beginning of July 2013.
It had been three years since the last visit to North Platte, Nebraska for a state championship. The west side of the state was happy to showcase what they had to offer starting with a tag team freeroll on Friday night for people that drove up early. It was a beautiful Saturday unlike three years previous when 17 inches of snow was dumped on North Platte. Everyone was settled in for a long day of poker. All the usual faces were there.
Joseph Shifflett from Maxwell, Nebraska is the latest two pair or better winner from the monthly drawing. Joe scratched off a pair of jacks and nines to get qualified. Joe plays out of Walkers Steakhouse in Gothenburg, Nebraska. Joe is now qualified for the National Championship in Las Vegas at the Mirage on December 10th.
Recently David Kalet from Norfolk, Nebraska won the FPN Online spring regional championship to qualify for the Golden Ticket National Championship. The regional championships are held every three months online and to qualify you must win your regional in the playoffs. It is an exclusive tournament with less than 30 players. David qualified from the Depot in Norfolk and went on to win the North Nebraska regional to qualify for the spring regional championship online. David not only won his spot in the Golden Ticket National Championship, he will also be receiving airfare allowance and a hotel stay at Harrah's in December. Don't miss out on the upcoming summer quarter regionals and go for first to join David in Vegas! Play FPNonline

"Beautiful complex."
Stayed in this beautiful complex with my husband and 2 children in July 2014. The apartment is a spacious 2 bed/2 bath with separate kitchen and utility. There is a large balcony which is perfect for eating outside. Location is great as it is only a 5 min walk to all the local bars and restaurants. We had a lovely holiday here and would highly recommend a stay here.... perfect for any family.
Thank you for the lovely review on the property, much appreciated. Hope you holiday again with us in the future. Regards Sharon and Noel.

Image of the Day: iPhone Screen Hadoken
Mobile 293 Views
A broken iPhone screen is no bueno. It's a plight on your status as you know it in the world of smartphone ownership. One clear and obvious, yet some what expensive option is to replace the iPhone screen (or you can do it yourself). The other is to download this Street Fighter Hadoken screensaver. Sure, your phone will ideally have to be cracked in the direction of Ryu's fireball, but I'm sure there are other screens out there to complement a wide variety of mishaps.

New NCAR-Developed Holographic Imaging Sees Inside The Microscopic Lives Of Clouds
Clouds aren't always what appear to be: Two clouds that look the same on the outside might indicate a dry day or a rainstorm, all depending on where they are. Cloud scientists have begun peering into what's happening inside at a microscopic level, and they've found that the particles in clouds aren't nearly as homogenous as they thought. Scott Spuler, a research engineer at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, developed the holography technology in the study, "an instrument that could see and make a picture of roughly a thousand particles." The three-dimensional imaging technique would allow the researchers to examine a few cubic centimeters of cloud, rather than cubic meters. "We were never able to make measurements about clouds on these scales before," says Spuler.

Rhonda C. Poynter & Friends
RE: Hi Rhonda
Dear Vikki,
I am so, so sorry to hear your sad news...I am on here so hit and miss right now that I cannot recall whether anybody let me know before now, or not. I want to tell you something, Friend - Terrie's wonderful tribute has really helped me to try to reach out to what few surviving family members I have, and hopefully some peace will be made, some bridges will be mended - I have felt for a very long time that as death and dysfunction pulled our tiny group of walking wounded apart, there was no reason to pursue any type of relationships...Terrie, and your sweet words really got me thinking that I might be wrong about that, and for this, I thank you. Do Take Care and remember people are thinking of you, and sending Love and Light your way. Hugs, RCP and Gannon Blue

Thinking of you Vikki
Shall I wither and fall like an autumn leaf,
From this deep sorrow - from this painful grief?
How can I go on or find a way to be strong?
Will I ever again enjoy life's sweet song?
Sometimes a warm memory sheds light in the dark
And eases the pain like the song of a Meadow Lark.
Then it flits away on silent wings and I'm alone;
Hungering for more of the light it had shone.
Shall grief's bitter cold sadness consume me,
Like a winter storm on the vast angry sea?
How can I fill the void and deep desperate need
To replant my heart with hope's lovely seed?
Then I look at a photo of your playful smiling face
And for a moment I escape to a serene happy place;
Remembering the laughter and all you would do,
Cherishing the honest, caring, loving spirit of you.
Shall spring's cheerful flowers bring life anew
And allow me to forget the agony of missing you?
Will spring's burst of new life bring fresh hope
And teach my grieving soul how to cope?
Sometimes I'll read a treasured card you had given me
And each word's special meaning makes me see,
The precious gift of love I was fortunate to receive,
And I realize you'd never want to see me grieve.
Shall summer's warm brilliant sun bring new light,
And free my anguished mind of its terrible plight?
Will its gentle breezes chase grief's dark clouds away,
And show me a clear path towards a better day?
When I visit the grave where you lie in eternal peace,
I know that death and heaven brought you release;
I try to envision your joy on that shore across the sea,
And, until I join you, that will have to be enough for me.
For all the remaining seasons of my life on earth,
There will be days I'll miss your merriment and mirth,
And sometimes I'll sadly long for all the yesterdays;
Missing our chats and your gentle understanding ways.
Yet, the lessons of kindness and love you taught me,
And the good things in life you've helped me to see;
Linger as lasting gifts that comfort and will sustain,
Until I journey to that peaceful shore and see you again.

find a grave
Her courage and effort to beat this horrible disease will be an inspiration to all who will have to someday face the same thing. She was a brave and strong person and will be forever missed.
