Small Ship Cruise, Zodiac Excursions, Hiking, Sea Kayaking, and Snorkeling
Explore the spectacular waters off the coast of Baja, Mexico by zodiak, kayak and on foot. Our small ships visit the hidden gems where big ships never go. See whales, dolphins, sea lions, and clouds of colorful fish all along Baja's magical and unspoiled desert wilderness.
Arrive in La Paz and transfer across the Baja Peninsula to San Carlos where we board our ship.
Our whale watching takes place in Bahia Magdalena on the Pacific coast of Baja, a vast wilderness of sculpted sand dunes, mangrove channels and protected waters. This is one of the main breeding and calving areas for 17,000 California gray whales. We observe these enormous yet gentle animals from the ship but also at water level from our Zodiacs. While we would never presume to predict Nature's behavior, it is highly likely that you will have the privilege of a "touching" up-close encounter. We also take our kayaks and Zodiacs through the mangrove swamps to discover magnificent frigate birds, pelicans, cormorants, terns, great blue herons, and ibis.
We cruise past spectacular Friars Rocks at Land's End. For those who wish, we arrange a visit to the historic town center of San Jose del Cabo. The afternoon is spent at the Gorda Banks sea mount, a gathering place for whales and dolphins. Humpback whales are often sighted here at this time of the year. Their variety of behaviors is of great interest as we watch them tail lobbing, flipper slapping and breaching.
With deeply indented shorelines and dramatically eroded cliffs, Islas Los Islotes and Espiritu Santo are two of the most beautiful islands in the Sea of Cortez. We enjoy them to the fullest with a leisurely afternoon of swimming and snorkeling. You soon experience a thrill not soon forgotten: swimming with the curious and friendly sea lions. Another great way to observe the impressive geology of these islands is by kayak. Or opt for long walks or lazy beachcombing, finishing the day with a relaxing beach barbecue complete with campfire and a star-spangled sky.
Today is a day with the luxury of no specific plan. We may spend the morning whale watching in the waters around Isla Danzante, an area that has proven to be one of the best for finding blue whales and bottlenose and common dolphins. When diving or snorkeling in the clear waters of our anchorage, observe the tropical fish flitting along the reef as they come and go in waves of brilliant color. There is also time to explore one of the many lovely, uninhabited islands such as Isla San Jose or Isla Santa Catalina, famous for the 12-foot wavy barrel cactus and other desert plants that grow along the canyon. Stay alert for the great diversity of bird life--ladder-backed woodpeckers, Costa's hummingbirds, Gila woodpeckers and verdin.
We disembark in La Paz after breakfast.
The above describes the Among the Great Whales departures. See the drop down menu above for the "Whales and Wildlands: Spring in the Sea of Cortez" departure dates and prices. The itineraries for both itineraries are also available from the Detailed Itineraries link.
The M.V. Sea Bird accommodates up to 62 guests in 31 outside cabins and can reach places larger ships could never go. This air conditioned ship features a library, full-service bar, an observation deck, Internet access, onboard video chronicler and a ship doctor. It is equipped with a bow camera, hydrophone, underwater video camera and video microscope.

A sanitation emergency forced City Hall to close early Monday after a blocked sewer pipe leaked inside the former school building, but Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr. expects to be open for business as usual Tuesday morning.
"They managed to contain it for the most part," Hoye said. "There was a leakage into the basement of the building that had to be cleaned out."
The Building Department had to shut off the building's water to work on the problem.
"At that point it becomes a health and safety issue," Hoye said.
The city government has been operating out of the former Maxham Elementary School building at 141 Oak St. ever since a 2010 arson fire damaged the historic City Hall Building.
Offices at the interim City Hall were closed at 3 p.m. to allow workers to repair the damaged pipe and clean up the mess.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- With the snip of a ribbon, Manhattan school district officials unveiled a newly expanded and revamped high school Thursday.
A ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony was held at the West campus Thursday night.
The $42 million project added 80,000 square feet to the school. Extensive renovations were done to the existing structure.
"Essentially we took the school completely apart, back to the studs, section by section and built it back up and now it's almost a completely new high school. We essentially a new high school on the bones of the old school," said Pete Paukstelis, member of the USD 383 Board Of Education.
"We've added a whole set of new dynamic science classrooms. We've created spaces for kids that we feel really respects them as young adults, brand new cafeteria, brand new courtyards for kids to sit in, brand new library, the gymnasiums have been touched with new floors and new bleachers, it's technologically equipped, it's all wireless for students. Students can bring their own devices to school now," explained MHS principal Terry McCarty.
The construction at Manhattan High School is part of a $97.5 million bond package voters approved in the fall of 2008- money that's being used to make improvements at schools across the Manhattan, Ogden school district.
"That allowed the school board to go ahead and move forward with projects in all of our schools, expanding our capacity and updating essentially all of the aspects of the school," Paukstelis told WIBW.
McCarty says students and staff are lucky to have the support of a community that values education. Through the addition and expansion, he says every aspect of the high school as been touched.
The community has not just endorsed education but higher education and our students respond to that. Our students have achieved and performed very well not just at the state level but at the national level. We really feel now that we have a building that enhances that. It creates a whole different aspect of pride that our students have felt, they've bought into, they've supported, they've been behind and they've been involved in the entire process. So they feel a part of this school just as much and they feel like it's been a huge investment into them and their education and we really look forward to them taking their achievements to a higher level," he added.

After being fed up with the way major labels did business, the indie hip-hop movement began around 1995, kicked into high gear in 1997, and still lives on today, though numerous labels and artists. It did begin to wane after several years, capping off around 2007, and with numerous labels folding and / or disappearing completely. This movement was driven by the sale of the 12″ single, with many unsigned artists making a name for themselves via this method, with labels like Stones Throw, Def Jux, Rawkus, Fat Beats, ABB, and others pioneering this new era of hip-hop music. Artists that came out of this scene are legion, including Eminem, Mos Def, Royce Da 5'9, Little Brother, RJD2, Madlib, Kardinal Offishal, LMFAO, and many more.
This list represents the best 12″ singles to come out of this era – records that helped change the face of hip-hop music by defying the major label system (and ironically, in some cases, eventually becoming a part of it). Here are our picks for the top 50 12″ singles of the indie hip-hop movement. Best Indie EP's and albums lists are coming later.
50. Saukrates – "Father Time" – Knee Deep Records (1995) – One of the integral pieces to kick off the indie hip-hop movement, Sox generated a nice buzz with this single and later released The Underground Tapes EP's, before signing to Redman's GillaHouse imprint. And then, nothing. Father time, indeed.
49. Louis Logic – "General Principle" / "Factotum" – Superegular (2000) – People checked for this 12″ because of the elusive Indelible MC's J-Treds' appearance, but Lou stole the show on the b-side with his ode to alcohol, "Facotum". Released on Jedi Mind Tricks' original label, Superegular Recordings.
48. Termanology – "Watch How It Go Down" – Brick Records (2006) – The latest entry on this list, by 2006, the 12″ scene was either producing stale records or simply tracks that you could find on the respective artists' albums. Term managed to get everyone's attention with the M.O.P. sampled, DJ Premier produced "Watch How It Go Down", kicking off his career and later landing a remix with Lil' Fame himself. The B-Side also is one of the first notable appearances of super-producer Statik Selektah.
47. Missin' Linx – "M.I.A." – Linx Inc. (1998) – Before Dr. Dre got a hold of this David Axelrod sample for "The Next Episode", buzzing indie artists Problemz and Black Attack joined with former Beatnut Al' Tariq for the group's debut single, leading to deal with Stimulated Recordings. We all thought this was the second coming of The Beatnuts at the time.
46. Red Foo & Dre Kroon – The Freshest" – Bubonic (1997) – Before they were LMFAO, they were RFDK and they were making dope music. Make no mistake, we actually really dig what they are doing these days, but the origins of the Party Rock crew start here, alongside Evidence and DJ Revolution.
45. Company Flow / Cannibal Ox – Double 12″ – Def Jux (2000) - This was the first release from a post-Rawkus Company Flow, which would jump start the Def Jux imprint. More importantly, it also introduced the world to Cannibal Ox, who would deliver one indie classic LP, before breaking up and fading off into obscurity.
44. Edan – "Rapperfection / You Suck" – Lewis (2000) – Boston's Edan got a late start creating music in the new millennium, that sounded as if it was produced twenty years earlier. This eventually paved the way for his stellar debut Primitive Plus. Speaking of which, isn't it time for a new LP, Edan?
43. Natural Resource – "They Lied / Negroe League Baseball" – Ekapa – (1996) - Everyone seemed to think that this group was called Negro League at the time, but that was actually the name of their stellar b-side track, which likened the industry to an unfriendly game of baseball. The show was stolen by the group's lone female member, Jean Grae.
42. Rasco – "The Unassisted" – Stones Throw (1996) – Super Duck Breaks really did it for Stones Throw as far as the deejay's were concerned, but Rasco's no-nonsense flow and delivery got the general listeners' attention, while they slept on Homeliss Derilex, Encore, Fanatik, and Charizma.
41. R.A. The Rugged Man – "Hey" / "Stanley Kubrick" (1996) – Listen up, people. Anytime you saw a white label 12″ come out of the indie hip-hop movement, 9 times out of 10, the artist was bootlegging it himself. Artists like R.A. The Rugged Man do not allow people in NYC to bootleg their shit, without catching a beatdown. We're guessing he still had some major label fallout to deal with, hence the white label. Truly your favorite rapper's favorite rapper, if there ever was one.
40. Shabaam Sahdeeq – "Soundclash / 5 Star Generals (feat. Eminem, Skam, AL, Kwest) – (1998) – Rawkus - We're not quite sure why Shabaam Sahdeeq never took off like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and just about everyone else among that first generation of Rawkus rappers. Maybe people confused him with Raphael Saadiq and wanted no part of it, or perhaps nobody could spell his damn name to Google Yahoo it. Talent was not the issue. Spinna beats and Eminem guest appearances certainly didn't hurt his career either. Eventually "S-Double" would catch a prison bid, of which Sandbox Automatic would use as a sales ploy warning potential customers that this could be their "last chance" to get his autograph when they pre-ordered his too little, too late 2001 debut, Never Say Never. Classy.
39. Necro – "Get On Your Knees / Underground" – Fat Beats (1997) – Even from the jump, we knew there was something wrong with him. Necro was at his best as a hungry guerrilla film maker / rapper / producer in the late 90′s.
38. Apathy – "Compatible / The Smackdown" (feat. Celph Titled, Rise, C-Rayz Walz) – Bronx Science (2000) – The Demigodz were born right here, on the posse cut "The Smackdown", which introduced us to core members Celph Titled, Rise, and Apathy – who made sure none of them murdered him on his own shit.
37. Shadez of Brooklyn – "Change" / "When It Rainz It Pours (Survival Warz)" – Tape Kingz (1996) – Another record that helped jump-start movement, found Da Beatminerz backing this unknown BK group, recorded in the legendary D&D Studios during it's heyday. "Change" was a gorgeous rainy day record that still sends chills down the spine fourteen years later.
36. Peanut Butter Wolf with Planet Asia + Madlib – "Definition Of Ill (Remix)" – Stones Throw – Stones Throw (1999) – Early on, Planet Asia positioned himself next to a wealth of west coast talent, which saw him release a string of classic 12″ singles, suggesting he might be the next great emcee to emerge from the state of CA. After signing a major label deal that went sour, it unfortunately interrupted this short stint of greatness. Wolf and Madlib's remix to the lead single from My Vinyl Weighs A Ton was exclusive to this 12″, and arguably one of Asia's greatest works ever.
35. Natural Elements – "Bust Mine / Paper Chase" – Dolo (1997)
This promising NYC crew, backed the production of the unstoppable (at least, in theory), Charlemagne, seemed like they could do no wrong, with this 12″ being their greatest achievement (and arguably that of Stretch Armstrong's Dolo Records). Both sides resonated with fans, but unfortunately the group never excelled past a short lived stint on Tommy Boy's Black Label imprint, disappearing for a good decade before releasing a haphazard "greatest hits" collection.
34. Swollen Members – "Shatter Proof / Consumption / Paradise Lost" – Battle Axe Records (1998) - One could argue that the "S&M On The Rocks" was the group's stronger 12″ single, but this one set off the entire Battle Axe Records movement, as the group from the "west coast of Canada" teamed with various defenders of the underworld from our west coast, including Aceyalone, Evidence of Dilated Peoples, Tony Da Skitzo & Mr. Brady (who's "Who You Talkin' To" 12″ was a near miss for this list), and Mix Master Mike. We knew this was something special from the cover art alone.
33. Non-Phixion – "Legacy / No Tomorrow" – Fat Beats / Serchlight Music (1996) – The conspiracy theories started here, as Ill Bill and his crew jump started their careers via MC Serch's publishing company, also responsible in part for a record called Illmatic.
32. The Arsonists – "The Session" / "Halloween" – Fondle Em (1996) – The once seven-man squad released a series of early classics on Fondle Em, manifesting into their only full-length LP for Matador a few years later. This 12″ might as well have been a double A-side, as both tracks got play all year long, even if it wasn't even close to Halloween.
31. Mike Zoot – "High Drama Pt 3: The Search For 2″ (feat. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Consequence) Guesswhyld – (1998)
Matt Fingaz's Guesswhyld imprint was easily one of the strongest independent labels to come out of NYC at the time, responsible for a number of classic, now forgotten indie 12″ singles, led by Mike Zoot. Always known for bringing aboard A-List talent, "High Drama Pt.3: The Search For 2″ was the pinnacle, when a heavily buzzed Black Star and Consequence validated Zoot's short-lived career.
30. Defari – "Bionic / Change & Switch" – ABB Records (1997)
We knew Defari from a few years earlier on the Immortal Records Next Chapter compilation, but alongside E-Swift he made his mark as a solo artist on the this dark and lovely solo single. This 12″ also jump started ABB Records, who also introduced the world to Dilated Peoples and Little Brother.
29. The Lootpack – "The Anthem / Lost Art / Likwit Fusion (feat. The Alkaholiks + Defari)" – Stones Throw (1998) – Not only did this 12″ solidify Stones Throw's platform in the game, but it also helped realize the potential of Madlib's small time group from Oxnard who's previous credits only included some work on The Alkaholiks' first two records. "The Anthem" was strong enough to stand on it's own, but "Likwit Fusion" helped solidify the idea of The Likwit Crew, consisting of King Tee, The Liks, Defari, and Xzibit. We'd still take a full-length from the crew, by the way.
28. L-Fudge – "Liquid" / "What If" (feat. Kweli, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mike Zoot, Skam) / "Show Me Your Gratitude" – Rawkus (1998)
The strengths of this record aren't really about L-Fudge at all, but instead the movement that was being forged at the time. Behind the production of DJ Spinna, alongside an all-star cast of nobodies named Talib Kweli, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mike Zoot, and Skam, we saw the beginnings of a sound and style on a pensive track called "What If?".
27. Hieroglyphics – "You Never Knew" (Hiero Imperium) (1998) – Hiero's careers as major label rappers were long over by this time, but they managed to remain relevant through Stinke's original Hieroglyphics.Com website. The indie hip-hop 12″ movement was all they needed to reinvent themselves, and this 12″ – along with the Third Eye Vision LP – reinvigorated the crew, uniting them for the first time for one LP.
26. RJD2 – "June" (feat. Copywrite) – Def Jux (2001) – Sure, Fondle 'Em's MHz 12″ singles introduced the world to each Camu Tao, RJD2, Jakki, and Copywrite, but nobody knew who was who or who did what in the group. The crew's two most popular members RJD2 and Copywrite stood on their own with the heavy "June" 12″, an emotional letter to Copy's father, that allowed both the emcee and producer to define their roles and express themselves in different ways.
25. Mad Skillz – "Lick The Balls / Conceited Bastard" – Eastern Conference (1998) – Hip-Hop cover records are never good, except in the rare case of Mad Skillz "Lick The Balls", courtesy of High & Mighty's E.C. Records. This was before he dropped the Mad, just coming off a sour Big Beat deal. This showed us artists thought dead by their former labels could still live on and make great music without them.
24. The Last Emperor – "Bums / Monumental / Secret Wars" – White Label (1997) – Emp's self-released white label had two so-so tracks, but the real gem here was nerd-gasm "Secret Wars Part 1″, which found Emp rhyming in the voices of his favorite rappers, who incidentally were battling against Marvel Super Heroes, thanks to The Beyonder, and Last Emperor's vivid imagination. We're still puzzled how Dr. Dre thought this kind of thing could fit in over at Aftermath, but this 12″ is what scored him the deal in the first place.
23. Krumb Snatcha – "Gettin' Closer To God" (prod. DJ Premier) (1997) – M.I.A. Recordings – What more can be said about Snatcha's true-to-life tale about being shot and bleeding out, fighting back death itself, over luscious production from DJ Premier? Simply classic.
22. 7L & Esoteric – "Protocol / Touch The Mic / Be Alert" – Brick Records (1997) – It doesn't matter how good your other songs were, when your previously released B-Side cut samples the beloved Transformers cartoon theme song that was held so dearly in the childhoods of the aspiring deejays of this generation.
21. Jay Dee – "Fuck The Police" – Up Above (2001) – Dilla had a few records prior to this one as a solo artist, but this is the record that took his sound in a completely new direction, and would define it for the latter parts of his career. The Slum Village / A Tribe Called Quest sound was done, this was the new style.
20. Street Smartz – "Problemz / Metal Thangz" (feat. O.C. & Pharoahe Monch) – Tru Criminal (1996) - FT could brag that his A-Side was produced by Buckwild, but what really put this 12″ over the top was the sinister b-side track, "Metal Thangz". While the spotlight was stolen by his guests O.C. and Pharoahe Monch, Monch's verse was so outstanding it managed to nab the then relevant Hip-Hop Quotable in The Source Magazine – a huge feat for an indie record.
19. Latyrix – "Lady Don't Tek No" – Solesides (1997) – Ironically, this 12″ made noise overseas first, before the Bay Area's Solesides crew re-released it one year later in the U.S. Take Lateef and Lyrics Born, and put them trading rhymes over a funky classic hip-hop breakbeat with the added atmospherics of DJ Shadow, and you had the anthethis to what Puffy was trying to achieve with 112′s "Only You" just one year earlier. This record set off the Solesides movement, which would eventually evolve into Quannum Projects.
18. Common feat. Sadat X – "1-9-9-9 / Like They Used To Say" – Rawkus (1999) - The lead single to Rawkus' Soundbombing 2 compilation paired Com over a Hi-Tek beat, along with one of Sadat X's most powerful, memorable verses ever. Couple that with an equally dope B-Side track, "Like They Used To Say", and not many will argue against the fact that this was one of the era's defining moments.
17. Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek) – "Fortified Live (feat. Mos Def + Mr. Man) / 2000 Seasons" – Rawkus (1999) – Another 12″ that got our attention because of the Mos Def appearance, incidentally launching the careers of both Hi-Tek and Talib Kweli right under our noses. Both sides were requisite precursors to what we'd eventually find on Train of Thought.
16. Bad Meets Evil (Eminem + Royce Da 5'9) – "Scary Movies / Nuttin' To Do" – Game (1998) – Em and Royce's collaboration on The Slim Shady LP paved the way for this rare occurrence in which Em met his match lyrically. This groundbreaking single fueled hopes of an eventual collaborative LP, and would lead to Slaughterhouse's on-the-table Shady Records deal. We're still waiting on that Bad Meets Evil LP, guys.
15. Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth – "Back On Da Block" – Handcuts (2000) – Before Gang Starr broke up, there was no greater prospect to hip-hop heads than a Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth reunion. We saw the duo pair up occasionally from time to time, but their Japanese 12″ "Back On Da Block" – later licensed for release in the U.S. by Rawkus – was very quickly one of the most sought after singles within days of it's release, as it showed that even after a long hiatus, the two could pick up right where they left off and make musical magic. It's not too late, guys – think about Gang Starr.
14. Mos Def – "Universal Magnetic / If You Can Huh, You Can Hear" – Rawkus (1997) - De La Soul fans knew of Mos Def from the Stakes Is High album, while others might have recognized him from the little heard Urban Thermo Dynamics days. This 12″ introduced him to the world as a solo artist, where Def takes hold of Shawn J. Period's production and proceeds to tear it to shreds, proving he could stand on his own – in a b-boy stance, of course.
13. All Natural – "Writer's Block" / "50 Years" – All Natural Inc (1997) - Another pioneering record from the movement, which set off the entire All Natural Inc label. The Chicago crew's prophetic "50 Years" gets better and more poignant with time. We're sure we'll be ready to kill ourselves when we hear this record again in 2047.
12. Cage – "Agent Orange / Radiohead" – Fondle Em (1997) - There's a lot of history surrounding this 12″ single. Some of it's merits include: 1) Cage's mouthful-of-toothpicks photo op in The Source's Singles File. 2) Debut production from Necro, who later took Eastern Conference to court over royalties from the use of said tracks for the Movies For The Blind LP. 3) Accusations that Eminem bit his style from this 12″ single and an impending beef with Cage to follow. 4) The brilliance of Necro's sampling A Clockwork Orange. 5) The first appearance of Cage. Oh, and the music was incredibly dope. And so kiddies……
11. High & Mighty – "B-Boy Document" (feat. Mos Def, El-P, Mike Zoot) – Eastern Conference (1998) – Eastern Conference had a few 12″ singles prior to this one, but "B-Boy Document" really defined the idea of The High & Mighty. The Skillz featured "jiggy backpack" remix of this track is what you saw on Rap City and heard on Soundboming 2, but it's origins lie in this more raw 12″ version, with appearances by El-P and Mike Zoot. Bonus points for having one of the freshest 12″ covers ever.
10. Old World Disorder- "Shyhalude / 3hree6ix5ive" (feat. Eminem) - Beyond Real (1998) - One can probably guess that this is among DJ Spinna's proudest moments. While the Slim Shady EP was responsible for getting Em his deal with Aftermath, this 12″ found him perfecting the style he would use to propel the rest of the full-length album, and is one of his greatest verses of his early career. This is the fabled "underground shit (he) did with Skam", as mentioned on "Stan".
9. MF Doom – "Dead Bent" / "Gas Drawls" / "Hey" – Fondle 'Em (1997) – KMD's Zev Luv X reinvented himself, after the death of DJ Subroc and the shelving of their second LP, Black Bastards. Like Dr. Doom himself, he covered his face in shame with a metal mask, and became one of hip-hop's most enigmatic figures. His second life began here.
8. Royce Da 5'9 – "Boom" (prod. DJ Premier) – Game (2000) – Although Royce had been holding his own for a few years before this, this 12″ proved that he did not need to stand in Eminem's shadow to shine on his own. DJ Premier saw this, giving him one of his hottest beats that year, while Royce lyrically exploded on the track.
7. D.I.T.C. – "Day One" – D.I.T.C. (1997)
This record found the entire DITC crew uniting for a single, every bit as dope as we would imagined it to be. A beat so butter that Puffy jacked it for his No Way Out LP that same year – not a coincidence. Thank you, Diamond D.
6. J-Live – "Longevity / Braggin' Writes" – Raw Shack (1995) – Easily one of the most game-changing records of the era, which proved the cream would rise to the top, even without a major label deal. The crown jewel of this 12″ is "Braggin' Writes" – a simplified track that featured J rhyming over a cut up break – one that he would perform live on the mic AND the turntables. YouTube it.
5. Black Star (Mos Def +Kweli) – "Definition" – Rawkus (1998) - Mos Def and Talib Kweli's entire movement really begins here – while the other 12″ singles on this list remain relevant, this BDP inspired track was the duo's breakthrough single, and foundation for their collaborative Black Star LP. Speaking of which, it's time for a second LP, fellas.
4. Dilated Peoples – "Work The Angles" – ABB (1998) While this is Dilated's only entry on the list, make no mistake, virtually all of their early ABB singles (and subsequent guest appearances) were classics, leading up to their stellar full-length, The Platform. This sharp and precise 12″ helped enter the dragon that was Evidence, Rakka, and Babu, setting off a long career of success and respect.
3. Phaorahe Monch – "Simon Says" – Rawkus (1999) – GET THE FUCK UP! This single was literally the Godzilla of indie rap 12″'s, as no other single received this amount of critical and commercial success, earning Monch respect in the streets and on the internet. This was evidently clear when each Method Man, Redman, and Busta Rhymes showed up for the remix. To add to it's mystique, it was eventually banned due to an uncleared sample.
2. Big L – "Ebonics" – Flamboyant (1998) - At the time, Big L was being courted by Roc-A-Fella Records, thanks to the strengths of his cleverly written ode to street slang, "Ebonics", and arguably the best song he'd ever done. Sadly, he was killed the following year.
1. East Flatbush Project – "Tried By 12″ – Uproar – (1996) - This 12″ pretty much represents everything the indie hip-hop movement was about. These guys delivered this one, memorable single, and then disappeared forever. Propelled by paper-thin drums and Asian chords, rapper Des presented his argument for the right to bear arms. This endlessly played cut never had a follow-up, nor did it need one.
Realism is a faggot.
what about foreign legion full time b-boy???
This is what I'm talking, got most of these records& they still bang till this day, it us sad looking at all those records, knowing the thrill of picking up a record in a store no longer exists. That shot was an actual hobby for me, you don't get the same emotion fro
downloading some mp3 or mixtape with some annoying dj screaming over the track.Nothing like slicing thy plastic off the 12″ and putting the needle on the record& checking for the production credits. R.I.P to that thrill
I would really like to be able to buy the complete list of these jamz, as it would take forever to find them individually (if we even could). Pizzo…any chance of putting this together?

To celebrate the 20th edition, this year's Amateur Golf Challenge will also assume a social and environmental role: for each participant of our tournament we will give a 50€ donation to the support of the private institution D. Francisco Gomes – Casa dos Rapazes, which assists children that were deprived of a supporting family setting, and we will gift 30 trees to help the reforestation of Cachopo, on the Algarve's countryside, which in 2012 suffered extensive fires that destroyed 25.000 hectares of land, to be planted by children in an activity in partnership with the Cachopo Cultural Center, with the hotel ensuring that at least 600 trees are gifted in total.
As always, prizes will be awarded during the closing gala dinner to overall winner, best overall gross score and both men and ladies players with most net stableford points over the 3 competition rounds, as well as other small challenges throughout the competition. If a player beats the odds and scores a hole in one, a very special award is awaiting and the traditional round of drinks for everyone at the clubhouse bar is on the hotel!

Often I have a lot of stuff open and don't feel like shutting down my laptop, so I just use sleep mode when I'm transferring it. But I have no idea if this might have any disadvantages.
So my question is: is it bad to put your computer in sleep mode every time?
Things I'm wondering:
- Should I turn off my computer every once in a while?
- Will continuous use of sleep mode slow down my system in any way?
- Are there any bad side effects (in the long term)?
Any thoughts?
FYI I'm using Windows 7 on a laptop

I am currently using Ubuntu 10.04. I know there is a 10.10 release, but can I upgrade directly to 11.04? Could you walk me through the steps please?
Ubuntu only supports upgrading from one version to the next version, or from one LTS version to the next LTS version. So you need to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, and only then to 11.04.
There are technical reasons for this restriction. When a new version of an existing package is installed it sometimes has to perform conversions, e.g., it may have to import existing settings into a new database format. In performing such conversions the packaging scripts have to make assumptions about the old format. If upgrades from all previous versions of Ubuntu were supported then this would quickly become a maintenance nightmare, as packaging scripts would have to be able to convert from all previously used formats to the current format. To avoid the nightmare, packaging scripts only in general support upgrading from the version of the package included in the previous Ubuntu release (and from the previous LTS release, in the case of a package included in an LTS release).
Upgrading directly from the penultimate, or earlier, version to the current version (called a "skip upgrade) is possible, but is liable to result in a misconfigured system.
To update from an older version (very old in this case) than the previous version to the current version is highly not recommended. You are better off downloading the new release, doing a backup and then installing the new release.
If you are using Ubuntu 10.04 and REALLY REALLY want to update from that version up to the latest version then keep reading, if you are using Ubuntu 10.10 and also want to update from that version up to the latest version go to the second part. I should warn at least users from 10.10 that this involves downloading more than 2GB of data and will take you around a whole day. And even at the end it might be slower, give you errors, your connection will drop at some point or the computer will go crazy. This means that I do not give a guarantee that it will work flawlessly on every PC. So really think about it if you want to upgrade this way. I recommend reading this link: How do I upgrade from 10.04 or 11.10 to 12.04?
Here is an image that shows what 10.04 users should see after 12.04 was released:
UPDATE - if you are reading this after 12.04 came out, there should be an option in the Update Manager in 10.04 that says to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. This is the way to go since 12.04 came out.
For historical reasons I will leave the information below for users that wanted to know how to do it before 12.04 came out but if you are still in 10.04 please read here: How do I upgrade from 10.04 or 11.10 to 12.04? since fossfreedom created a very good and complete answer about upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04.
If you are in Ubuntu 10.04 first you need to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 then from 10.10 to 11.04.The reason is that 10.04 is a LTS Version (Long Term Support) and as such it upgrades itself from one LTS to the other. So the next LTS would be 12.04. When 12.04 comes you will see an upgrade noticed on your 10.04. But if you still want to upgrade to 11.04 then do the following:
Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10
Menu Way
Keyboard Way
When the Update manager opens and it does NOT show the "New Ubuntu Release Available" message in the upper part do the following steps:
2- Click on the SETTINGS button in the Update Manager on the lower left part of it. After the Software Sources Windows opens it should have you in the Update Tab where you will change the option Release Upgrade at the bottom. Change it from the one that it has to Normal Releases then close. What you did here was tell Ubuntu not to check for LTS versions but to check for normal version instead. Normal versions are the ones that come out every 6 months. LTS come out every 2 years. For example 8.04, 10.04, 12.04..
2.1 Open The Update Manager again following the Steps in 1a or 1b.
2.2. Click on the UPGRADE button that should appear there in the upper part. After finishing the upgrade reboot the PC and you should be in 10.10. Test it a little and then if you are 100% sure to go to 11.04 do the following:
Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04
IMPORTANT - Make sure you have ALREADY updated everything in Ubuntu 10.10. So you are ready for a clean upgrade to 11.04.
NOTE - From LTS to LTS you can actually update. For example 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. But for any other like 10.10 you need to actually update from one release to the other until you get to the final one. In your case, before 12.04 came out you could update from 10.04 to 10.10 and then 10.10 to 11.04 and so on until 11.10. After 12.04 came out you can update directly to 12.04 since it is the next LTS released.
No it's not possible.
using standard upgrade methods.
The only "point to point" release upgrades which work outside of the standard release to release upgrades, are LTS release upgrades. In other words you can upgrade from 8.04 -> 10.04 and 10.04 -> 12.04 without having to upgrade to each of the three other non-LTS versions in between. Otherwise you'll need to go next to 10.10 then to 11.04. Since you're not too far behind it shouldn't take long. Simply run the update manager as you normally would and follow the chain to 11.04.
If you were to try, you could simply pop in an 11.04 disk and install over the 10.10 installation. This should keep all of your home folder contents intact but will result in you having to re-install all of the software you had prior to the "re-installation"
You cannot skip versions between upgrades. The version between Jaunty and Lucid is Karmic. I suggest you do backup important data and do a complete reinstall as many things has changed, including the boot loader.
If you do not like a fresh install, you can upgrade using an Alternate CD.
The upgrade using the alternate CD is described below:
After this upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, proceed with the upgrade to 10.04 using:
Yes and No!
Yes it is possible - and I've seen a few people try a force upgrade via sudo do-release-upgrade/or manually changing their sources.list - But...
dont do it...
Canonical only support an upgrade from LTS to LTS (i.e. 10.04 to 12.04), or from each intermediate version (10.04 - 10.10 - 11.04 - 11.10 - 12.04 - 12.10 etc.)
If you try to force an upgrade you could most likely break your system - files may not be upgraded or updated and most likely you will have a very strangely behaving system or even a system that wont boot.
I've also seen various people try to backup the /home and restore it on a fresh install. This does usually work - however - I personally prefer to do a clean fresh install a copy specific files from backup. The advantage of just copying specific files is that you clean out all the rubbish you've accumulated over the years.
You'll need to upgrade to 10.10 and then to 11.04. You can use update-manager, but you can also use
You might need to upgrade update-manager-core first, in which case the entire sequence will look like this :
You can repeat the upgrade process to get to 11.04.
You can not skip a release when upgrading Ubuntu. So you will need to first upgrade to 9.10 and then from 9.10 to 10.04.
Jaunty went out of support sometime back. The next version up from Jaunty (Karmic) is also out of support.
You also, cannot jump intermediate versions i.e. not 9.04 to 10.4 - you have to go via 9.10.
Since both Jaunty and Karmic have been removed from the main repositories, you best upgrade route is to download the desktop ISO of 10.04 and do a fresh install.
You should of course, backup any non-hidden files in /home before the install. You can restore these after.
You can do the method above without having to install apache or changing /etc/hosts. Just save the meta-release file from wget somewhere (except on top of /etc/update-manager/meta-release) and edit it as described. Then, in /etc/update-manager/meta-release, change the "URI = http://....." line to "URI = file:///path/to/my/edited/meta-release/file"
Also, for do_release_upgrade to work, in your edited meta-release file, you have to change the archive in the URLs for Release-File, Upgrade-Tool and UpgradeToolSignature from
Thanks this solved problems I was having with upgrading an old system. However, there one enhancement that I used that will make this a lot easier - you don't need to install apache.
Simply use a
So the process is thus (my username is fozzy):
Edit meta-release file in your home directory with your favourite editor so that the "Supported: 0" line in the karmic block now reads: "Supported: 1".
Edit /etc/update-manager/meta-release and make the URIs thus (note the three slashes in a row):
Perform the release upgrade.
The nice thing about this is that there's no need to install apache and everything it pulls in - I was using it on a minimal system and I didn't want all those things pulled in. It also means you can edit the meta-release file without being root.
You only need root for editing the
For those who are planning to clean install, follow the steps below.
What you will need: Separate disk, external HDD recommended.
This is all. Ofcourse this is not error free and it works just if the system has 1 user, etc.
I've found a simple way to by-pass this problem and still upgrade online without the CD.
Quick Summary
Note: (updated 2014-07-25) see also Rubo77 answer here. It avoids installing Apache.
Detailed information
1) Install Apache (skip if its already installed):
2) Get the file locally
3) Update the file
Remove all version after Karmic, and change the line
4) Tweak some system files:
Edit /etc/update-manager/meta-release and modify:
(yes, drop the '-lts' part for URI_LTS)
5) Activate apache default server:
5.1) Intermediate state, check that this is working
5.2) If error, try restarting Apache2:
6) Upgrade: check the detailed instructions in the Ubuntu Community Doc. Here is a quick summary:
6.1) Please make sure you have the following sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list).
6.2) Update the package list and upgrade all the installed packages
6.3) Perform the release upgrade
Alternative path
For step 4) do the following instead:
And then modify /etc/hosts to change changelogs.ubuntu.com to your own server IP. Add a new line with:
After the upgrade, you can remove apache2, restore the system files (/etc/update-manager/meta-release and possibly /etc/hosts).
but based on your error message, I doubt you will get any different results. I've been getting the same error, and I've yet to find a solution.
Automatic, remote, incremental updating to latest version
I will not repeat the answers of others, but I do know how to achieve the effect of going from one old release to the latest. This requires access to another machine with a terminal and ssh installed so that you can automate the process by using ssh and a loop in the shell. See this answer for how to incrementally upgrade from your current version to the latest version.
Open a terminal, run

The 5 Creepiest Foreign Versions of Disney Fairy Tales
When Disney turns an old fairy tale like "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" into a movie, you can probably guess that they water down and dress up the original story to make it more friendly to modern audiences. What you may not realize is that stories like "Snow White" and "Beauty and the Beast" are actually ancient tales that have traveled across cultures and languages like a game of telephone. Or that along the way, the tellers put their own little twists on the tale.
Their insane, gut-wrenching, nightmarish twists.
#5. In Germany's "The Tortoise and the Hare," the Hare Dies Horribly
The Version You've Heard
In "The Tortoise and the Hare," which some of you may only know from one of its many cartoon adaptations, a humble tortoise and a pompous hare have a race. The tortoise is so slow that the hare decides to taunt him by showing off and fucking around for the entire race, but he ultimately gets too distracted by his own dickitry and ends up losing.
The moral of the story: A steady, diligent, hard worker beats a naturally talented asshole every time.
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
"Woooh, diligence!"
But when the German authors Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm adapted the tale, they decided it should take a darker turn.
But in the German Version
First off, it's a hedgehog instead of a tortoise, and the pair agree that whoever wins the race gets a bottle of brandy and a gold coin. So right out of the gate, the writers decided that both of these woodland creatures needed to have reached the stage of alcoholism where they treat liquor as currency. SPOILER: All of this is going to culminate in the hare bleeding profusely from the neck. This is not a joke.
After the bet, the hedgehog runs home to his wife and dresses her up so that they look exactly alike, which says all sorts of things about their marriage, and then takes her with him down to the racetrack. Mrs. Hedgehog hides herself at the finish line, while her husband lines up on the starting point next to the hare. When the race starts, the hare easily dusts Mr. Hedgehog, but when Mrs. Hedgehog hears him approaching the finish line, she hops out and crosses it before him, presumably while asking what the hell took him so long.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Her love life had been good prep for lying about finishing.
Naturally, the hare's bullshit meter starts buzzing, so he insists that they run the race again. She heartily agrees (remember, Mr. Hedgehog is still back at the beginning of the course), and they restart the race from the finish line. The same trick works again, since when the hare rounds the track, there's his opponent apparently waiting for him. The hare demands that they race yet again, to the same result. And again. This process repeats itself more than 70 fucking times, until finally, on the 74th lap, a blood vessel bursts in the hare's throat and he collapses in the middle of the racetrack, gurgling out his last confused breaths as he drowns in his own blood:
"In the middle of the field, with blood flowing from his neck, he fell dead to the ground."
The real victims were the 327 kids he left behind.
The Moral
So instead of "Slow and steady wins the race," the moral becomes "You can overcome any disadvantage with the magical power of lies!" Or maybe it's just "The best way to deal with arrogant bullies is to lure them into a forest under false pretenses and murder them."
#4. Russia's "Beauty and the Beast" Has a Suicidal Snake Monster
Walter Crane
The Version You've Heard
You've probably seen the Disney movie: In Beauty and the Beast, a beautiful girl is held captive by a moody goat-horned werewolf lord, but is ultimately able to soften his stony heart and transform him back into a handsome prince. Love conquers all!
Love means never having to say you're sorry ...
for attacking someone's father, mental abuse, and imprisoning them against their will.
But in the Russian Version
In the Russian adaptation of the tale, called "The Enchanted Tsarevich," the prince is a three-headed winged snake demon, because if there's going to be a beast in this story, bitter Russian tradition demands that it be as bleak and horrific as the vodka-pickled depths of a Siberian winter. It starts when a merchant gets caught trespassing on the snake's land while picking a flower for his daughter, despite the fact that no part of that sentence makes any sense. The snake is furious, so the merchant agrees to send his daughter to live in the creature's magical castle, because what else could he do? He was trespassing.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Snakes take property lines very seriously.
The girl dutifully goes to live with Cobra Commander and finds that her every need is met. However, she is miserably lonely, because there's nobody else in the entire castle except for her and the snake, and snakes are notoriously bad hosts. To make matters worse, each night the snake monster gradually moves his bed closer to hers, like a vicious bonershark circling a capsized yacht.
Finally, the snake cuts the bullshit and slithers into her bed. The next morning, he allows her to go home to visit her family, but tells her that if she doesn't return to his castle by nightfall, he will kill himself. (Note to captors: This is not actually a good strategy for getting hostages to stay with you.)
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
"It seemed like such a good idea at the time."
The girl stays out past the snake monster's deadline, but does in fact return, inexplicably. However, she finds that, true to his word, the snake has leaped to his doom. It's then that she kisses one of his dead heads (remember, he has three), and he magically transforms into a handsome prince.
The Moral
"The Enchanted Tsarevich" seems to have been written to make young girls resign themselves to arranged marriages, under the guise that even the most horrible cold-blooded monster will become a prince if you just succumb to his sexual will. Also, threats of suicide are in fact a valid and genuine expression of love.
#3. Scottish Hansel and Gretel Make the Monster Murder His Own Family
The Version You've Heard
Hansel and Gretel are two young siblings who stumble upon a wondrous house made of gingerbread and candy. But inside the house is a flesh-eating witch who uses her gumdrop cottage to lure dumbass children to their doom. Hansel and Gretel manage to trick the witch into crawling into the oven, then slam it shut and roast her alive, because to be perfectly honest, she goddamn deserved it.
There are a bunch of stories like this, all probably variations of the same ancient tales of lost/curious children outsmarting and killing monsters ("Jack and the Beanstalk" is another one). These are already pretty gruesome stories -- cautionary tales warning kids about strangers without having to explain to them what pedophilia is. It's going to be hard to make this darker, considering it already involves a cannibalistic witch getting burned alive.
Theodor Hosemann
"I call dark meat."
But in the Scottish Version
In the Scottish tale "Molly Whuppie," a family decides that they have too many children and leave three of the daughters out in the middle of the woods to die. The three girls wander around until they discover a house where, instead of a witch, a family of ogres lives. The mother ogre tells them they are welcome to come in, but that her husband will be home soon and will probably kill them all if they stay. The three agree to roll the dice on Ogre Dad, even though the house is not made of candy. And here is where things take a turn for the traumatic.
You see, the ogres have three children of their own. Knowing that Ogre Dad is probably going to murder them in the night, the human girls trick the dad into thinking his own children are the visitors. That's right -- Ogre Dad slips into the room in the middle of the night and, due to the human girls' ploy, inadvertently strangles his own daughters to death like a shriekingly blood-hungry Shrek.
Considering how bad this franchise got, it would have been a mercy killing.
Are you picturing your mother reading this story to you at your bedside from a pop-up book? Anyway, now the human kids escape, which you will note they could have done before they sacrificed three innocent children, but Molly herself is recaptured by the ogre. And at this point, you know that you should be more worried for the ogre.
He asks his captive what kind of punishment she deserves, and she tells him to put her in a bag and beat her to death with the biggest stick he can find. Ignoring how oddly specific this is, he tosses her into a bag and leaves to find a girl-jellying club. While he's gone, Molly convinces the ogre's wife to get into the bag. When Ogre Dad returns with his giant murder stick, he bludgeons the bag into a soup rag, having once again been tricked into killing a loved one.
"We should try to keep this going. I heard he has a sister down the road."
The Moral
Where the original stories all seem to be about stranger danger, this one seems to be teaching children that in dangerous situations, mass collateral damage is far better than retreat.

Dear Editor:
During the losing phase of the Vietnam War an attempt was made to impeach the President of the U.S. He was harassed into resigning to avoid impeachment. Today no one quite remembers what for. Had something to do with a Watergate. A few years ago Willie Clinton almost got forced out of office. It had something to do with his being a whoremonger. There has never been a successful impeachment of an American head of state. It is time there was.
Our country was founded - at least in theory - on Christian principles by men who believed in God and tried to live by His laws. The incumbent government has departed so far from God as to be compared to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sandy Sets New Agenda for Christie
TRENTON—Gov. Chris Christie spent his first three years in office pushing through a fiscal and education agenda that has made him a polarizing figure here in the capital and a rising Republican star nationally.
Now, the 50-year-old governor is embarking on the final year of his first term from a different posture—managing the hand dealt to him.
In an interview ahead of his State of the State address Tuesday, Mr. Christie said rebuilding New Jersey in the wake of superstorm Sandy would be his primary focus this year as he faces re-election.
More accustomed to charging toward a goal than reacting to events, the strident governor said it is his job to help bring back the state and that he hopes to do so within two years.
"It's much different stylistically for me. I'm not necessarily a reactive type of person," said Mr. Christie, during a half-an-hour interview in the Statehouse on Friday. "But I'm looking forward to the challenge. Even if I wasn't, it's my responsibility. You just got to get to work."
Helping the state rebuild is a more bipartisan task for a governor known for advancing core conservative policies such as cutting taxes and fighting public-employee unions. But, political analysts said, the recovery from the Oct. 29 storm will still involve political decisions—including how far the state goes to protect itself from future storms and how it involves counties and townships in the rebuilding.
Mr. Christie is frequently discussed as a possible Republican presidential candidate for 2016, but he denied in the interview any plans to run for the White House. He said he intends to serve four years if re-elected in November.
Still, his recovery efforts will likely be viewed under a microscope, said Ben Dworkin, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University.
"Every misstep will be highlighted. That's the natural way of national politics," Mr. Dworkin said.
Mr. Christie is known for laying out an agenda at the beginning of each year, and then entering hard negotiations with the Democrat-controlled Legislature. This tactic has largely worked: He counted seven major legislative achievements in his first term, including bills to increase benefit contributions among state workers, change tenure rules for public schoolteachers and merge several state universities.
But Sandy has already caused Mr. Christie to alter course. Despite being a prominent surrogate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Mr. Christie embraced President Barack Obama after the storm caused an estimated $37 billion in damage to the state.
Last week, Mr. Christie again bucked his party in publicly excoriating House Speaker John Boehner for not allowing a vote on a $60 billion Sandy relief aid package. Hours after Mr. Christie's statements Wednesday, Mr. Boehner pledged votes on two aid bills.
Mr. Christie demurred when asked if his tough talk helped get the bills posted. He said he discussed his comments beforehand with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo—who supported them—and Mr. Christie since hasn't gotten pushback from important Republicans.
"We got a few stray emails out-of-state in the office but certainly not from …leaders in the party," said Mr. Christie.
The governor said he will be counting on "friends from around the country" as he raises money for his re-election campaign this year. Mr. Christie wouldn't say whether he would seek public matching funds, as he did in his 2009 race against former Gov. Jon Corzine.
State Sen. Barbara Buono is the only Democrat who has declared a candidacy for governor, and Mr. Christie has nearly nine times as much campaign cash as she does, according to campaign reports last week.
Mr. Christie said he isn't taking the race for granted but expects to have fewer campaign events this time because of the demands of being governor. In 2008, Mr. Christie resigned as the U.S. attorney for the state before he filed his candidacy.
"I have the job of being governor in the midst of the rebuilding and recovery of the biggest storm that's ever hit the state," Mr. Christie said about the campaign. "It's challenging in a different way."
Bill Palatucci, a longtime adviser to Mr. Christie, said he wasn't worried about going into the campaign with the governor playing a more managerial role in New Jersey instead of driving an agenda.
"It boils down to leadership, whether he's proactive and reactive," Mr. Palatucci said about Mr. Christie's governance. "People want someone who is clear-headed and communicative and moving the state forward. That's his appeal."
In the coming weeks, Mr. Christie said he intends to propose regulations to help towns rebuild to withstand inevitable future storms, including abiding by revised flood advisory maps released last month by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
But Mr. Christie—who has generally fought against stringent state regulations—said he wants Jersey Shore towns to maintain their charm by keeping much of the rebuilding process on the local level.
"If I mandate a one-size-fits-all, homogenized view from Trenton, we're going to have a shore that looks all the same. I don't want that," said Mr. Christie, who grew up going to the shore.
By July 4, Mr. Christie hopes to have some of the shore's summer properties, amusement rides and businesses up and running.
But some of the hardest-hit towns won't fully come back until 2014, Mr. Christie said, and he's anticipating New Jersey will suffer a loss in tourism revenue. Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno is preparing an advertising campaign to promote the shore in response, he said.
Citing a proverb from his mother, Mr. Christie said he focuses on the job at hand and lets the future come as it will.
"You never know where life is going," said Mr. Christie, with a mix of Bruce Springsteen and classic rock playing in the background in his office. "You just do the best job you can…your future will take care of itself."

Charter operator LyddAir has introduced Airshare, a fractional-ownership program offering pre-owned twin-engine piston and turboprop aircraft. At present, the fleet includes a pair of Piper PA31 Chieftains and a Beech Baron B58. The company, headquartered at Lydd Airport in southeastern England, is preparing to add a Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200.

When you're sitting in the back of a business jet, you're entrusting the aircraft and its pilots to deliver you safely to your destination. One big reason you can count on them to do that is because Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) govern your flight.

Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has announced that it is seeking a buyer for a division of Landmark Aviation called Airport Services Group. The group consists of 33 FBOs, an aircraft sales division, a charter management business, six maintenance shops and six Hawker Beechcraft authorized service centers.

Simply put, air charter is the front door for all things at the business aircraft level in general aviation. It precedes fractional ownership. It stimulates full aircraft ownership. The jet card programs couldn't exist without it. And for the manufacturers it represents a free "demo" program for their products.

When Gulfstream purchased Galaxy Aerospace in 2001 for $330 million, the deal was sort of the aviation equivalent of the reality television show Flip This House.

With the LS600hL, Lexus has given the hybrid propulsion system popularized by the Toyota Prius some serious muscle and cloaked it in luxury robes.

When French airframer EADS Socata unveiled a souped-up version of its venerable TBM 700 single-engine turboprop in 2005, it billed the aircraft as the "anti-very light jet." Indeed, the TBM 850 will carry more payload, fly farther and typically complete a 500-mile trip about as quickly as a twinjet VLJ. It will also burn only about half the fuel and climb like a rocket.

Edgar Cayce's Deep Meditation Method By John Van Auken
Of all the meditation techniques I've learned and practiced over these many years, none has been as effective as Edgar Cayce's passage-in-consciousness technique. Our free online meditation course has diagrams of some of the steps, and links to those pages are included. With a little practice we can deeply attune ourselves to God and retain that essence, energy, and vibration in our daily lives.
You'll want to watch your dreams and intuitions. This practice will ignite dreaming. It will also generate intuitive glimpses from your deeper mind and the great collective mind that all souls are connected to. It's a good idea to carry a small note pad in which you can record insights and ideas that come—because, your outer, conscious mind (if it's anything like mine) will not be able to remember these. Like dreams, they are knowings of the deeper mind that creep through the veil to consciousness but are hard to hold onto. A note pad and dream journal help keep them in this dimension, this outer life.
This technique does require some time. Cayce advised setting aside an hour for the practice. In the first year that I practiced this, it would take me about 30 minutes to see, feel, and know the first 9 steps; now it takes about 5 minutes, leaving the rest of the time to be in the universal, infinite condition. Rebalancing also used to take much longer than it does now. The more you practice, the more you develop your body, mind, and spirit to know and understand the finite condition and the infinite condition, and the transition from one to the other. The overall experience is quite natural and normal when balanced and integrated into our lives and the whole of our being. One can be here, projected into individualness; or there, expanded into universalness. After a while, even when in individualness you feel the universalness. It's wonderful but much more natural and normal than I expected. Cayce always taught that that's how it would be, saying that we were in the infinite, universal condition prior to incarnating. Therefore, returning to the other condition will not feel supernatural but natural and familiar.
This meditation method allows the "magic silence" to better imbue us with the vitality, peace, and clarity of God's spirit and mind. It also brings out our better selves, which Cayce identified as one of the main goals of meditation: "let your better self come through." Cayce's readings often instructed us to let God come through us into this dimension and into the lives of people around us.
John Van Auken, a director at the Association for Research and Enlightenment, is an acknowledged expert on the Cayce readings, the Bible, ancient prophecies, world religions, meditation, and ancient Egypt. John conducts seminars in the U.S. and abroad, and is a tour guide to the many sacred sites around the world with A.R.E. Travel. He is the author of numerous books, including Toward a Deeper Meditation, Edgar Cayce and the Kabbalah, Ancient Egyptian Mysticism and From Karma to Grace.
Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. blog offers opinion pieces from contributors with a wide variety of backgrounds. These opinions are valued and create points of discussion. Opinions expressed in our blog may not necessarily represent the opinion of A.R.E.

Just a quick post tonight because I today has been absolutely insane. It was my busiest day for the bakery so far: 8 baguettes, 6 loaves of whole wheat bread, two trays of lemon currant rolls, and 2 loaves of rye bread. To make things even busier, I had a baby shower to attend for a colleague, and Son #1 had a birthday party to go to. And, since the birthday party was at the bowling alley, and since the bowling alley staff doesn't even know what vegan means, I had to make a parallel meal for him to take. He requested the corn doggies from Happy Herbivore's new e-cookbook (you should buy it). I made them on a bamboo skewer, included some ketchup and mustard for dipping, and he was off. It is great that he now doesn't care that he has to take a different meal to parties, and great dishes like this make it easy for him to be the odd one out. Thanks, Happy Herbivore!

that's so cool....my oldest still has trouble being the "odd" kid. She's almost the only kid that brings a sack luch to school every day (the cafeteria staff have no idea what vegan is). And, birthday parties are always a battle. I hope that she comes to accept and enjoy it as your son has.
congrats on your busy bakery day....I wish I lived close enough to order!

You're very welcome! & I'm so touched that son#1 actually requested them! I feel... cool.
I've had a few people recently email me saying the corndogs also reheat nicely and also hold up in school lunches. :)
One buyer even said she took them to a ball game and people asked her where in the park she'd bought them! Another person said her co-worker mistakenly thought they were twinkies and asked her why she was heating her twinkies up in the micro. oh my.

Oh, I keep wanting to try those! I bought the book but haven't made any of the recipes yet. These (or the mojito cupcakes) may be my first!

Those look great! You inspired me to buy the e-book, but how did you get the corn dogs to look so perfect? Mine were delicious, but looked like corn dog pancakes!

I used less liquid so I could form the batter around the dog.

Very nice, wellplanned, clean and nice villa. Big and well equipted kitchen.
Apartment was nice, very clean, spacious, quiet even though located on a big street and generally up to standard. Overground and Bus Stops very close, Underground stop can be reached by bus or walking easily. Few small issues (key for one of the windows missing, toilet seat broken, plastic bit of toilet flush falling down, bathroom pipe slightly leaking) but overall this apartment can definitely be recommended. HOWEVER, be aware that the key has to be picked up somewhere else (close to Camden Road Overground Station - so not far from the apartment) and you can't get the keys for the apartment at the apartment itself.
The apartment isn't bad, but it's impossible to stay in 6 persons, max 5.
The clear isn' good. So it's very strategic position in the town.
the apartment is really well placed, right in the centre of Prague; you need just a minute to reach the old town square by walk, passing through one of the most turistic street of the city.
The guys at the reception did a good job, letting us enter our rooms some hours before the check-in time.
The apartment was really nice and well furnished, with everything necessary (i think more than necessary!!) for the trip: tiny but complete kitchen, living room with big tv, internet connection and so on...
We just had some troubles to sleep at night dued to some drunk hooligans lodged in our building that passed whole nights ringing every door bell in the palace, shouting, slamming doors and elevator cabin, from 4 to 6 a.m.; unfortunately non-smart people is everywhere...but this has nothing to do with the accomodation that has been really comfortable.
Everything was Great Perfect Location, Really Clean only reason i give it 4 Stars is the wifi in our room.. Well there wasn't any. Other then that it was Greeat Would Def stay here again
Everything was perfect! Really nice apartment and the location was really good. the aprtment was very clean and fresh and it included all things that you needed. Good kitchen-equipment, free internet and nice furnishing.
Nice little house with everything you need. There's a sandbeach nearby, you can walk to it in 5 minutes. With the cab or bus it's easy to go to the city of Zadar. The host was very sweet and willing to arrange anything. We had a good time!
I chose the appartment because of low price and good location. I payed the amount of 160€ for 3 nights which was on the receipt I got from windu. After that I realized that the flat was sold by a company called interhome which sent me a second receipt for a cleaning few of 58€. So the inital low price increased by 35%.
I could have seen this clicking on an extra button in the description in advance. Very poor strategy to make money, sorry guys....
The flat itself was very good, clean and recomendable.
Had a pleasant stay here for 4 days. Very centrally located apartment with restaurants, a bakery, a slaughter and an Metro right outside the door.
Some street noise and the apartment could need a major cleaning.
1-very dear(expensive) by report(relationship) quality / prices(prizes)
2-aftre the reservation a great surprise in supplement bond 100€ payment for (cleaning +draps+taxes)
3 - impossible of sat(based) in the garden or to open windows because of big mosquitoes (in spite of the precautions were all pricked by mosquito
4 - walked out of order
5-full of dust, in private individuals under mattresses
6-paying internet
7-lack of playroom(gaming room) (children and adults) and fitness gym
8-I never return and I do not advise(recommend) it to my friends
