Quanhua Temple is established in the Qing Dynasty (1897) and is one of the earliest built temples in Taiwan. In addition, it is also the biggest temple out of all three "Holy Buddhist Temples" in the west side of Lion's Head Mountains. The structure includes ancient-Chinese lion and dragon style craving on pillars or walls. The orange and red paint on the temple is surrounded by green mountains which made a great contrast of the view.
The Lion's Head Mountain Visitor Center was opened in 2001. It was built over the former Shishan Elementary School and designed to retain the Hakka style. In addition to the facilities, the restaurant, Xixin Tea House is appended to the Visitor Center, offering dining and refreshment services to the public.

Yer right Jo I gotta ease up some and pace myself…kinda got over done this summer past.
Well hope you 2 are fine and ready for winter, I'll try and pop back more often…I hardly even go on Spacebook ………………see ya's later
Still am in Niagara . . . will be heading south to Florida near end of November . . .
Are you in Florida yet? or in Niagra Falls area? Going to get a rude awakening either starting tonite or tomorrow….Air cond. is all covered up and going to have temps go down to 29 deg tonite and have furnace on ! Chiropractor is helping me to get better I hope!! Been a long haul but might be hope on horizon and if not will have to go to regular doc(ugh) and see if he can figure what is going on and I get walking real good again..that would mean therapy and not fond of it at all but do like the ice packs but dont think they can get one thin enough for groin area so can get area cold enough so swelling go down inside bone???So gonna help chiro out with ice packs of own that I had with back many yrs ago…and pray they work as good as did yrs ago!! Hope the cool ones are Mt Dew, Pepsi, coke cola, ice tea, ice coffee!! and not icky Beer…
Have a good weekend and we will see what happens here!!
Yikes Jo, hopeya not be in too much pain . . . Wouldn't wish that stuff on my worstest enemy if eye had one! . . .

Dunno where Sandy be or what doing? . . .
Sorry !! I figured if noone came in cept me I would get tired of talking to self !

I too wonder about Sandy and if got the job and cant get away and tell us about it..
Mikey:Dont over do on the wood as you dont want to be in hosp from over stressing your heart or some other thing…U be careful…
All for now!

Hey all! . . . Too much stuff going on here to visit NB this year Mikey, maybe next summer . . . Wondering how Sandy made-out with that interview? . . . Now's the time to plant some garlic Jolene so they say . . . Apparently it grows during the winter-months . . . All our garlic in the supermarkets is grown in China and eye won't eat it . . . get it from local growers ifya can find it . . .
Hi : I check in every few days but no type…rof
We are having a nice late summer so firewood is on the mind along with harvest and jam making…yum yum
Anyone home? Been having charley horses and then sleeping late in mornings a few times…And appreciating not being bothered by cats of wanting attention..LOL…Supposed to rain tomorrow…we will see…oh yeah, I planted some tulips the other day and a few other plants I had planed on May…so we will see if come up in Spring or not..Check in once in a while..ok???
Eye would've made a helluva mess too Mikey (mostly beer bottles) . . . Well why didja call it a 'Messtival'? . . .
Jo : I sent in a bill for all the clean-up and stuff I did for em BIG TIME and they paid right up and even got gifts and stuff for me…lol…Actually I was so stressed trying to get ready for the event cuz we all had too much on our plates…If we do another we learned a lot on what to do so it will go better.
MESStival was just nominated for Venue/Festival of the year at Music NB !!! woooo whooo !!!.
Thats what I saw on Facebook earlier today. So I guess I can't punish myself and those kids for the mess any longer …It was something we all forgot about so I'm as guilty as anyone. We have to put that all behind us and move forward.
So I hope everyone here is fine and well.
Yo Jo! . . . Eye not care what colors the rooms be in the new place across town . . .
Right now am in Gloucester, Massachusetts for a few days . . . heading back early Fri. morning . . . 517 miles from Niagara, an 8-1/2 hr drive . . . Needed a break from my boring routine at home . . .
Hi all! Sorry, life interfears I reckon…Hope you got the job Sandy!! My 2 cats I was babysitting went home to another person altogether!! Cousin had problems with the big cat but got it done without getting scratched!! Helps to have them in room along with the carriers in order to get them !! White one was very strong and nasty teeth..I do not miss them at all..Am cleaning up and washing things they sat on while here. Also let the cats have the beds they had here so is something familiar to them..in a strang place..Is here in town somewhere…Washed up some dishes and bottles(not boose!) and thot I would see if anyone was here…
Mikey: you have a good place for the music and they better darn well pony up the clean up next yr..dig a hole and burn whatever they left cept the bottles, maybe get huge refund from bottles and go on vacation with it…Just a thought for you!!
Fant: how is the moving coming? Did you have to paint every room?? What are the colors ya having?
Courious here!
Thanks Fant for the offer but I should be OK. Mikey lad, I rekon they'll come good with the clean up next year as I don't think they will want to lose the venue.
On the subject of Photobucket, Fant, I have always had issues with it. Sometimes I've had to exit the page because of freeze.
Hi JB, Fant and Mikey thanks for the best wishes. Only three hours to the interviev and believe it or not I'm actually nervous. The business is run by two women who belong to the Gilbert family. The Gilberts own two petrol stations, a car wash, two motor dealerships, two bakeries and a bunch of properties around Mount Barker, Littlehampton and Nairne.
I'll only be disclosing information that they want to hear, I won't be elaborating. My clothes are pressed, shoes polished, got a hair cut (number two comb) and I'm showered fresh as a daisy.
It's now 11.30 so two and a half hours to go………………hehehe
Fant I have the Pro PB so I pay by the year so wouldn't be the same.
Best of luck to ya Sandy…let us know how it goes mate.
I went to our Messtival meeting and told em how disapointed I was with the clean up and wasn't going to go through that again…so left em hanging about next year…I gotta think on it myself but at least they made money this year. They came out 5 or 6 grand ahead…not bad for city kids…ha ha
Anyone having trouble navigating the Photobucket website? . . . Nothing there is working for me anymore . . . Maybe something simple eye'm doing wrong? . . .
Always good to have a fantastic reference Sandy . . . Just tell 'em to e-mail me! . . . Good luck! . . .
Hello JB, looks like I'm having a good day. This morning I got a call asking me to come in for an interview. So, tomorrow at 2pm (24/8/2012) which is Friday here in OZ I'll be selling myself the best I can.
If I'm lucky enough to get the job then that's where I'll be staying. No more travelling down town and spending a fortune on petrol and car maintenance.
Wish me luck.
Hi Sandy; I know how ya feel about that ole spray painting,did my 11 years of that (seasonal) so now I only do outside stuff if any…ha ha
I know the young folks didn't mean ta stick me with the trash but they gonna get a piece of my mind at the next meeting Tue, I'll scare em good.
I was great to have the whole thing filmed in one way but who wants 5 cameramen in yer face for 2 days. Next year we'll be more laid back I hope.
Mikey lad, now is the time to start campaigning for next years sponsorship. I'd be asking the waste management peeps for their support in exchange for free advertising. Corporate sponsorship. Put together the up coming video footage of the event you just had and approach businesses with an offer. Pay or donate and you get their names up in lights, on posters, on programmes, on T-shirts whatever. The bigger the contribution, the bigger the exposure.
Mikey, if I was a little closer than 15 hours by flight then I could have been your manager…..hehehe
Hi Jo, I've mentioned before that I was diagnosed with the ONSET of diabetes 2 so I no longer indulge in the sugary crap my darling brings home from work. Yep, she is still working at the grocery clearance store as the 2IC. She has resigned herself to the fact that she will remain in retail unless she seeks work downtown.
If she found work in the city CBD then public transport would be necessary as driving and paying for parking would be cost prohibitive. As it stands she works 10 Km from home and it takes her 10-15 minutes to get home as opposed to travelling by bus from the city which takes almost 1½ hours.
Howdy JB. I dropped off my resume this morning and I'll be visiting other places after the weekend. Whatever the outcome I'll keep plodding along until something becomes available. I really don't want to go back to my trade as a spray painter.
There are always jobs going for painters/blasters down town and they usually pay good money. The distance and travelling time plus the adverse effects of chemical and dust exposure is enough to make me want to change my career path.
We need more trash drums and better labeling on em to get things sorted in the first place.
Hi folks…Oh we recycled over 5000 containers. but we wern't ready for the amount of food waste that was generated. It took 4 days to burn it all,we didn't want to attract the bears and other vermin. Everyone was tired and I didn't get the help I needed so was left holding the trash bags…lol
Oh I'll fix those kids…I got ways, I told em I'll block the gates till it's clean next time or leave me a big deposit and I'll hire peeps to clean up. They are truly sorry but sorry didn't pick up any trash!
Hi all, Mikey that is some song there! Hope you didnt get the rain but bet you did!!
You did good for the attendence! Now, how much garbage did they leave behind? Remember, can take some cans back to be redeemed? Hope so…if not give them for recycling? or just dig a big hole and put them in and cover up and mash with big tractor!
Fant: Thought you were moving to Florida where warmer for the winter and bake in summer…never know…Is it a big house or like my dads house 5 rooms total and basement.??Was a grand ole house, it was!!! My childhood house until I moved out in 1987 to my Uncle's house he left me…Alot of good and bad memories at Dad's house when growing up..
Sandy: So glad to see ya posting again!! Tell us the secret for losing wt here…Is wife still working at the grocery place? Hope so and you get the job at the quick shop and you can check out the goods to the people..Lots of good wishes your way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice and cool here lately and feels like fall…birdies are quiet so ya wonder if have left or are molting and hiding in the bushes??? They are saying Indian Summer will come yet so not worry abt furnances going on quite yet…Take care ya all!
Good luck Sandy….Hope ya find something ya like.
Hi. Well the clean-up is still ongoing at the Messtival site. Got a crew comming down today to help try finish it up. But rain is on the way so ??? on that…rof
So I'm playing Adham Shaikh's piece Water Prayer; He's a Canadian that does sound tracks for Doc films etc.
G'day Fant and Mikey and Jo. I pick up my resume tomorrow (Thursday) and start to cold canvas and pass them out to businesses. It won't be easy to find someone who will take me on and give me work experience. Old folk like me are usually overlooked in favour of the young'ns.
My strong points will be the fact that I no longer have the need to party on Thursday, Friday or Saturday nights and my punctuality and attendance is without fault. One place that I'll be applying at is open 24/7 and I've spoken with a few of the console operators there and they have totally different backgrounds to their current position. One lad in his mid twenties is a carpenter by trade and he will be returning to his trade which is day work only, no nights or shift work.
This lad worked four shifts straight because they can't find anyone who wants to work on weekends. He is also handing in his notice this week because he found work down town. I'll be handing in a resume there tomorrow. Wish me luck.
To get a pay check after all these years would be fantastic. Imagine that, what would I spend my first pay on? I know, two thirds would be spent on hookers and beer and the rest I'll just squander.
Whoa!!!!!!!!!! . . . Whatz happening Sandy . . . You doing OK? . . .
Nice ta see ya back Sandy…I'll update soon…gotta go mate.
Hi folks,just a note to let ya know the Messtival was a success beyond our hopes. Our limit was 500 but we had 504 peeps over the weekend. You can search on Facebook under Messtival and get more. The Video will take 18 weeks to edit I'm told…more later, I'm in recovery…rof
Howdy Folks, it has been a while since I've visited so I thought I would say HELLO. I'm not at the computer like I used to be, spending more time outside trying to maintain my house.
I finally found a doc that could help me with pain management and with that came weight loss and mobility. The sciatica is now under control and I can function "normally", like walking and standing for long periods, things that we take for granted.
All's well on the home front and there's plenty to do outside. T-Rex turned 6 last month and he's coming along very nicely at school. His reading and understanding of words is well ahead of his age, something I credit his mother with since she has read to him every single night since birth. He went to a school disco last Saturday night, yep, a disco. The little ones had their session first from 5pm till 6.45pm then the older kids had their time to dance. It was well supervised so we dropped him off and one of the mum's that stayed said that Alexander danced on the stage the entire time! I wonder who taught him the Travolta moves?……..hehe.
I'll pop back in tomorrow as I've got some stuff to do right now. I'm organising a resume so I'll let you know how it's coming along. Got my eye on a possible job opening in the next town so I need to weave some magic with the application form.
I'll catch you all tomorrow. xx
Has cooled-off some here too Jolene, is nice, 73F the high today . . .
No have just also bought a house here in Niagara Falls too! . . . Been living in this place (dump) for 21 years now and is time to make-a-move to a better place . . . The landlord here doesn't do a darn thing unless it's critical, except collect the rent on time . . . Am tired of it all! . . .
Hi all , it sure cooled off nicely and can leave doors and windows open at night and might even put on a blanket or 2 on for sleeping! Hope you all get cooled off also…
Fant: Now where ya moving to? there where ya are down to Florida at that yellow house you showed???
or was the yellow house for just show…???

Mikey send the rain to Iowa, will ya? we did get some Sat. but not enough…need it to rain gentle all day and night and all day again..dont know it is enough to save crops tho but will save my grass so wont need to resow next year! Take care all!
Hi-a …we only got rain 3 times in July and it wasn't much. The third time is today and a real heavy thunder shower hit …we needed it bad for the gardens and lawns. Less than 2 weeks till the Messtival. Sure am bust…the reason I got on here is the rain shower…oh the sun is comming out now…bye/rof
Guess I will have to try to do a rain dance again to get some more needed rain..we only got about 1 in…we need more for our corn and soybeans for harvest so we all dont have to pay such high prices for things this winter…loll…
Walked 3 miles in the rain at 6am today at the local track . . . They was all doing it! . . . Was nice! . . .
We were at 105 today…later on we got some rain and it poured for 10 min.and have done some off and on …bet it is going onwards and out of state…to ILL. and I hope to Indiana..Is to be 88 and on Fri 82…will be nice and on Sat and Sun is to be 90…well is better than 105 anyday…Jacknapes were scared, I was out in porch watching it come down!!!
We were 102 today and 115 deg felt like, but got where I wanted early morn and then in house for rest of the day..Neighbor came over with 3yr old and were going swimming around 6 , I told her I sure wouldnt at that temp above as the water would be boiling and to lay down on cement with towel? No way! Will take shower downstairs and get cooled off…tomorrow to have 70% humidity and close to 100 again or more…Hey Fant, why dont we go out and do rain dance and maybe it will show up??? LOL.
Have a good one. How is the new house thing coming along? Heard ya got it…now when moving in it?? Let us know…
110F here with the humidity, gasp! . . .
Our cool front is gone and hello HEAT again…
A surprise party I went to came out real good and honoree was surprised…Was supposed to grill you own food but got lucky and someone else grilled chicken for me..another gal had chicken also and gave me the bones she had for the outside cats so they were very happy with me last night…
Hey, where are all of you's?
Hi we got a cool front last night when went out to water flowers and it extended into today..high is 85 and was nice when driving to next town for some groceries I forgot… lol
have a good one! Starting tomorrow is to be 92 –ugg…
It was 98 instead of 94, the weathermen cant get it right but the Hundreds are coming for the weekend into next week again…Hope the a/c 's freon doesnt run out..hasnt run this long since last yr when had heat wave for 2 wks…and when she broke , boy oh boy did it pour buckets…and now poor New York is complaining of the rain they had…send our way and see if we complain…Got to the store and got some things and hope it is enough to get thru the hot hot hot stuff again…would be nice to be where really cool right now, just for a few days!!Will have to just lower the numbers on the a/c and will get artic cold??
Keep cool or go swimming …see ya's….
Hi ! Can I say hot? 1 degree from hitting 100 deg today and is to be around 94 tomorrow(ha!) and for Friday thru Tues is to be 97 constantly…so water flowers at night if heat dont kill them off!!
Dont do much lately..did defrost a neighbor and friend refrigerator freezer..was old kind where you defrosted them–Got that done only 4 inch thick on each side so not much room but has lots of room now but is full of her things I took out..I bet she doesnt have problems with things freezing now either.oh yeah, did her dishes as has 3yr old and very active child she is …So when she got home and saw what I did I got cell phone message of Thanks!
Her cats are so laid back and these jacknapes are at me every 5 min of wanting attention so I show them the sprayer and they go and lay down again..I told relative she is going to take them when they are almost out of this new cat food and way are eating , wont be long and she will have to do something..I do not want them! I did not pick them out and are hers.
sorry for the rant with cats! You all have a great day!

Ya gotta call ahead fer reservations? . . . How far from Saint Johns? . . . What time does it start? . . . Ya gotz beer there? . . .
What day is Messtival? . . .
Hmm! . . . Maybe can garnish burgers or dogs with 'em Mikey? . . .
I'm hanging about at the puter; just too warm out to do anything till later.
Oh; Jo ya must mean those Lasers,we have those in the light show with 200 dots on em…some dogs go wild at outside events.
I did see one leach on a Bullfrog, but in 37 years down in the country I only got em on me twice,so they don't hurt anyway but are slimey critters just the same….he he …salt or heat will make em let go/ the water is 77 F last time I checked. Today's air temp is 30 C or 86 F and the day ain't over for heating yet!
Some rain here earlier, was outside dancing in it without umbrella . . . Heat is back now, gasp! . . .
Eye ate out last night too Jolene . . . Very seldom eye do eat out but splurged a little and had a hot-dog outside in backyard . . .
Don't thinkya can train a cat, they know everything already, hic! . . .
Hi from Ia! Had been cooling down for a few days and now are ramping up to 95 tomorrow! Wont find me out and about for nothing…might take nap again like I did today..the jacknapes dont try to sleep with me anymore as I am lethal when they try to jump up on recliner and I do it in my sleep!
ate out last nite and stayed home today..will have left over chix and some corn for dinner! Yum!
Relative came to see jacknapes and they paid maybe 10 min attention to them and rest of time tried to get me to use those red lights you buy to entertain them…Dont know what regular toys are other than the red light thing…dont understand why? Other than relative dumb in not educating the cats in play of things and not that dumb red light thing…
Mikey: think I would use a hose hooked up to the house and get sprayed down and forget the dirty river!! Ugg!
Ya all take care in this heat!!
Watchout fer them blood-sucking leeches in yer river Mikey! . . . Saw some peeps on a reality TV show eating handfuls of them suckers, YUK!!!!!!!!!!!! . . . Wear a tight-fitting cup down below just in case, teehee! . . .
Howdy: Now we over on the East Coast are getting your heat Fant. I was in the river 3 times yesterday,even the Bullfrogs were just lazing about; lol
Less than 4 weeks till the Messtival so almost every day I keep slugging away at stuff to be done…we have a bit of a work crew every week but WX is slowing us down.
I hope every one is well and yall take care.
Temperature in Tokyo 85F at the moment . . .

Think eye gotz the house in Florida, just waiting fer the deed and the keys . . . unless eye been scammed, gasp! . . .
July 4th–100, July 5 –99 with heat indexs up to 115 and this has been going on for a few days and am ready for some all day rain for 2-3days to soak everything up …and rain can go to everywhere it is needed so would not have problems of fire like out West…Pipe dreams I believe or illusions I am having due to the heat…lol.
Hope everyone had a nice 4th of July even if it was steaming hot…
all for now…

Hi ! sorry for being away so much but I get myself into too much. We have cool weather and rain so I finally get some puter time.
Been working on the Messtival site and have 4 bookings for June ( which I call Juneuary cuz of the cold and rain) . We have a sound and projection booth 12 X 12 feet 2 story's high to build that is about half done and then some flushes to put in before it all come down in Aug.
What have we created? ha ha Some filmmaker is gonna do a Doc on our festival because we do a light show set to sound.
I hope everyone here is well and I do look at the "E's" I get from ya's Jo and Fant….
Had company of friend Bev today and had the 2 cats out for her to pet and make over and by 9 pm tonite were more than ready to go into the laundry room and crash , I think..She moved the cat carriers out to front porch and the insulation I had behind the couch out there also…then we starrted on the overgrown begonias and now have to grow out again…I hope!!!!
Going to have to get some more toys for them to play with and maybe wont be meowing and bothering me…I do give them attention but have never had them talking back to me and being like needy kids wanting attention all underlined all the time!!! Will be a good day when their MOM can take them back to new place to live…or if dont want I will try to find homes for them–good ones…
Going to bed early too…bye!
Tell old landlord, you are paying for using water so can use anyway you want!!!
Don't think squirrels hoist leg to pee! Besides I dont watch, Im a lady!
Babysitting 2 cats and let them out in my house for 3-4 hrs to get used to it and are worse than kids for getting on top of things they shouldn't!!! So when time is up I lure then back in laundry room and close door…All in all they are quiet but have jackrabbit legs, so tall they are…compared to my little Missymou when alive…Maybe they tired themselves out snooping around and me saying no and off!
Fant, did you get another kitty yet? curious, I am…
Landlord frowns upon me using his water to feed my plants . . .
All my squirrels in back yard trained to pee on veggie plants to keep 'em growing nice during heatwave . . . Told 'em all "No Pee = No Nuts" . . .
Fant: get your water sprinkler out and garden hose and hook them up and give the lawn a drink!!! We are getting a million Dollar rain last nite and today again!!! Yay!
Yes you can play the spoons on staples!! If all healed can take out the staples that wont stay in!!! with drs. permission that is….
Mikey: Have everyone come to the japan board instead of spacebook!! I just read and comment on facebook and not put anything on social stuff of what am doing…Play game called Farkle on there and I like it alot..Went actually to a theatre in next town to see a movie called Lucky One and it was good …so go see if comes near a town near you! the bad guy at end gets his comeuppance big time!!
All for now…take care
No rain here for 23 days now . . . Sometimes can hear the plants gasping for water when it's quiet . . .
Hi Everyone.. I posted this on Facebook the other day, but I don't think anyone saw it.
I received this from the server support techs:
We have maintenance planned for your server(s) on May 30th between 10pm-2am Central time to upgrade this server to 8G of RAM. This will help with the recent instabilities that have occured. The expected downtime for this procedure is around 30 minutes.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
Yikes …the pain here…lol
Sorry for not getting on much but crazy busy around my place these daze! Everyone has gone to Spacebook… I'll try and get on tonight.
Can play my staples like a xylophone with a coupla spoons, maybe will keep 'em in! . . .
Eye always exaggerate a bit, thanks! . . .
Fant: only slight pain???? No dont think they know how to stitch someone shut anymore!! Only staple , staple..Had gallbladder surg. in 81 and so had 12 inch slice with all staples so know what going thru..Keep those ice bags handy!! and take your pain pills too..might get a few more naps that way!!!
Yest it was around 95 and very humid and today is cooler and very very windy..due for more rain is my guess as tomorrow in 70′s or 60′s…Might have to get my stuff off the cemetery tomorrow–have to have it off in 7 days time from the holiday…which is stupid in my book!! Way they mow is criminal, wonder they dont bulldose the stones down way they wing ding around cemetery…will step down from vent box…take care FAnt…will keep ya in my prayers..
Oh the horror of it all . . . Had my double-hernia op on Tuesday and been in slight pain since . . . Been resting on my back with a 1-lb. bag of frozen peas on my manly-parts since then . . . Felt like eye've been kicked between the legs by a 7-ton angry African bull-elephant . . . Looks like they attacked me with a staple-gun just under my navel, don't they teach 'em how to sew in med-school anymore? . . . Be back on the skateboard soon eye hope . . . Howze everyone doing? . . .
Hi! After we took battery out , that night around 2-3 am it started beeping again and saying low battery..is hard wired in so got battery and Kenny came over and put in the battery..Now peace and quiet cept for the fan noise of fan going and a/c going….got very hot Sat and woke up drenched this morn so was able to move the queen sz couch/sleeper and got stuff off a/c and turned it on…ahhhhhh…….so much cooler and fan in corner oscilliating the coolness around…
Cemeteries are pretty here in town…have markers and flags of veteran's that served in the service..A big Thank You to the Vets for serving…. Drive safely home from whereever you are!!
I am feeling better Fant, thank you for your concern…slept with ice packs and then ate Tylenol and more ice and finally remembered I had me 3-4 pills that were muscle relaxers so took 1 and what a difference!! So last night I took another and feel gooder today …Last nite around 11:45 got a scare, the fire alarm went off and then said low battery all night long and a beep!! Neighbor came later this afternoon to help me with the dang thing..didnt trust ladder and I tried to read the directions to him and didnt make sense so he read them and gave up too so made phone call to local guy who is fireman and said to call an electrician ..some guy he is!! So neighbor had read book again and something clicked and he got it open and battery out..takes a 9Volt battery…so needless to say will be awhile before I buy one…so will be putting the ladder in porch again tomorrow..he also helped me with screwing in the light bulbs in the porch as again cant get on ladder cuz it is aluminum–lightwt and with me would tip over…now can use front porch light again inside and outside…am short, what can I say?
Mikey: you get in touch with Janet? Hope she is home!! how ya coming on the festival stuff?
Sandy: Where are you? Can you get here from there??
Fant: thought you heard from Sandy, what is going on? Or is it not fit for printing?
It poured here late afternoon, hope we got at least 1 inch of rain…up at cemetery cant put flowers(silk) in ground unless you drill the ground with drill then maybe can get them in….lol…put the flowers in the cracks by tombstones of relatives…but at least I think of them and honor them rest of cousins dont even put stuff on own grandparents grave which drives me nuts!! Say they are too busy , not an excuse to me..Will scoot out of here and get off the podium or soapbox…
Think eye found her email addy Jolene . . . will forward it to Mikey . . .
Hope back be better soonly! . . . Take good care of it meantime . . .
Hi all!
Dont know Janet's addy or would send her a note you were looking for her and you could get set up…
Yeah, dont know when to quit when doing things and feeling good…Is 2 or 3 rd week being nasty??? Cant keep track but what did this one is washing blankets, going to 5-6 garage sales…twisting in and out of the car and my naughty disc said…nope you arent going to get away with it and I didnt …and then going to grad. party sitting on picnic tables benches and gettin in them to sit down is another story…oh yeah, ole spotty car didnt wait till next month when would have her paid off in car bill, oh no…had to have muffler drag and was stopped by relatives at party and they pulled it rest of way off so If it rolled off the back of car on way home, so be it..but it didnt…darn! Have new one on as of Mon afternoon…going to go to recliner and put some ice packs on back and see what morning brings…
that music was not my thing on sound cloud…give me old rock and roll and western music…but not at same time…ok? take care
Jo thanks for the pic's …some amazing ones .
Or is that the 6 th one down…rof
I checked and the whole page of tracks came up (ha ha ) but it's the 5 th one down "Studio Sorcery"
One of the dudes we are getting from Montreal…speakeasy swing withan electro twist…Kormac Studio Sorcery ….I hope this link works My first try at Soundcloud.
Good morning: It's getting Crazy Busy around my place these daze..he he
Property clean-up (got my bro collecting scrap metal from 35 years of junk around the land) then there is getting the stage ready for the messtival in Aug. and we wanna get 4 flush toilets installed for folks.
I was wondering is anyone on here had Janet's in Maine eMail….I believe her and hubby wanted to come to the Messtival on Aug 10 and 11th this year. Gonna be a good lineup (I'll post a link to all the music soon as it's available on the Messtival.ca link .
I hope everyone is well and easy on the back Jolene…
Hope back be better Jolene andya not be in too much pain? . . .
Awesome pics Mikey! . . .
Happy Mama's Day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZoun8mdLX0&feature=related
Idly wondering ifya saw any paint on that iceberg Mikey? . . . Might've been the same one that sunk that ship years ago, course be a little smaller now though coz of global warming . . .
Nice pictures Mike!! More please…ok? how was the weather there? now that day might be a fluke so what was the other days were there??
Did something withmy back and get to sit with ice on it off and on…and fight sleep during the day but now when feel tired will take ice to bed in recliner with me…hope everyone fine..
My cousin is standing on the far side below.
Oh this is called the Dungeon (sea cave with 2 entrances but the top fell in long ago…kinda creepy, the old days the root crops were stored in caves.
Next 4 pix are around Trinity NFLD…the name say it all, the big guns are from mid 1700′s
A bigger one wit some background,no wonder they call the place "The Rock"…rof
A small one with some puffins in the water nearby.
When you do that aquarium stuff, and when they come out of chylsas(sp)do the swallowtails dry out to be the size we see in late summer? I am finding the red admiral butterflies that are flying around here are way small likewings 1-2 inches long not the 3to 3 1/2 inches in later summer.. I hope they grow or is the smallness because of the sprayin of lawns and fields for weeds?
Neat that you are growing parsley and dill for the flutterbys…keep on doing it!
Accidentally killed a friendly garden spider but he was big and scared me so no more spider…LOL.
Yes Jolene . . . Just planted a bunch more parsley coz they attract the butterflies who lay eggs on 'em . . . When they hatch into caterpillars eye pick 'em off and place 'em into a 10-gal aquarium with some mesh on top and watch 'em morph into butterflies (takes about 2 weeks), then release 'em . . . Fascinating it is! . . .
Hey Fant! That you taking the pictures of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly and the woodpecker??? did a good job with the camera!!
Last week we had warm and rain and now this week so far is wind and lower 60′s for temps.This Easter thing is sure a jinx on Spring every yr!!!
Bet ole Mikey forgot abt us and had to get right to work again on that festival !!! He'll come when ready or not at all as my Dad would say to me when so and so was supposed to come and get me for church or something and I was impatient…lol…
Take care all…
Sat outside most of yesterday, was around 70F . . . Had a steak BBQ with friend . . . watched the critters do their thing, butterflies, squirrels, birds, etc. . . .
Where's the iceberg pics Mikey? . . . Idly wondering ifya caught a glimpse of the BIG rogue one that sunk that ship that they made a movie about . . .
Hello everyone,
This is the hardest thing I've ever encountered in my entire life!
I know that God will bring me though it! He sure has given me tremendous strength through out the entire process so far.
Hi…well made it back home in one piece with 500 pics. We got to a little fishing village (Kings Cove) and tried to get info from an older fisherman , after 2 minutes all we got was the ending….."Goes right goes right ya's can'ts go wrong"
I'll post some iceburg pic's and others later.
Yep heard that Gwen's hubby passed away . . . bad news indeed! . . . Hope she is doing OK . . .

First of all I am really sorry if few of the post written here doesn't make much sense. The thing is right now I am quite busy with lot of stuff and it is not possible to write a coherent article. So what I am going to do is just put up a fast written article and when time permits I will modify it to make it more readable.
Recently I have started reading a blog by Ben called Make Money Online with SEO. Ben has started with the 100 hubs in a month challenge but midway upped his ante and started with 200 hubs in a month. He has chronicled his journey on his blog and reading it from start to finish I am also tempted to start with such an activity. Ben is claiming that he has started making more than $1k through adsense income which is quite good for an activity started 2 months back. As such I will be making 200 hubs this month and I would be happy if I just make 10th of it. So please don't mind the quality of post on this blog for time being as I prepare myself to write about varied topics. I will be posting my results for the 200 hubs experiment here. Wish me Good Luck.

If you have a computer and like giving
your opinion, you might want to try doing online surveys
from home to make a little extra cash while trying new
products. There are hundreds of companies that enlist
research panels of average consumers to complete surveys
You can't expect to earn a full salary from taking online surveys, but it is possible to earn $50 to $100 a month in cash and free products if you take several short surveys, according to experienced online survey site members. The key is to sign up with several survey sites (which are all free to join) to increase your chances of being selected for the surveys.

To the Editor:
Cass R. Sunstein (Op-Ed, Jan. 22) argues that product libel laws will improve the marketplace of ideas by discouraging sensational media reports like Oprah Winfrey's 1996 show on meat safety.
But there is no ''scrupulous and careful'' clause in the First Amendment, nor is there any preference given to a newspaper over a talk show as a member of the news media.
What Mr. Sunstein fails to realize is that discussions of food safety are a political issue entitled to all First Amendment protections. Unlike product claims or attacks from competitors, the public debate about food must remain free of restrictive laws.
Rather than leveling the field in the marketplace of ideas, Mr. Sunstein's theory tilts it toward industry. Commercial enterprises already have an advantage since their power as advertisers makes the media leery of offending them. Mr. Sunstein now wants to give industry an extra advantage by insuring that people who say nice things about beef are free to speak, but people who say bad things must meet a heavy burden of proof. Not in my Constitution.

Also known as the colon the colon is the portion of the digestive system which separates water and salts from the body. Once this process is complete solid waste expelled. As in a pipe system the food that is eaten will help keep waste moving through the colon making it important to follow a healthy diet to prevent conditions such as constipation and diarrhea
You need:.
Will Power.
Start with dietary fiber
Proper intake of dietary fiber is crucial to a healthy diet for colon. Fiber is not absorbed by the body but instead binds with waste in the body and helps them to be quickly eliminated.
The National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine provides the following recommendations for fiber intake:
?? Men 50 and under: 38g
?? men 51 and over: 30g
?? Women 50 years and under: 25g
?? Women 51 and over: 21g
Finding the Right Sources
There are two types of fiber which can be used in the body: soluble (dissolved in water) and insoluble (does not dissolve in water). Both are important for body function but insoluble fiber is particularly useful for relieving constipation or irregularities.
The best sources of insoluble fiber comes from whole-wheat flour wheat bran nuts and some fruits. Some of the highest sources of fiber are yellow peas (1 cup: 16. 3g) kidney beans (1 cup: 13. 1g) and raw raspberries (1 cup: 8. 0g).
Boost Nutrients
The colon also require certain nutrients and even healthy bacteria such as lactobacilli which can increase colon health by destroying harmful bacteria in the colon such as E. coli and salmonella. Foods that raise healthy bacteria include asparagus onion garlic and yogurt
Try to incorporate these and other high-fiber foods in your diet by :.
?? eat a serving of low-fat yogurt every day
?? snacking on fresh fruits and raw vegetables
?? eating a cereal that contains five or more grams of fiber
Foods to Avoid
When you enter more high-fiber foods in your diet try to avoid certain foods that can affect the colon function. Foods high in trans fats such as pre-packaged desserts potato chips and fast-food meals may slow colon function. Coffee black tea and soft drinks also can affect the colon function and should be avoided.

A proposal by Chicagos mayor that all taxi drivers be required to accept credit and debit cards has not thrilled the citys cabbies who may have to pay the interchange fees, and who prefer cash but has gladdened card industry executives who are working to make plastic more pervasive.
Mayor Richard M. Daley announced in a Jan. 31 press conference that the citys Department of Consumer Services, which regulates taxicabs, was considering a regulation that would require all of them to have wireless payment terminals for card acceptance. He was responding to a spate of taxi driver robberies, and arguing that hacks would be safer if they carried less cash.

Is this your own arrangement? This is really good. Have you thought of composing and making your own songs? :3
Extreme Kill Warfare

Wow! This is really good! It's so different from your previous voices. It's been more than a year since you've uploaded different voices. More! :3
All I am is me
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love songs like this. Simple and clean and the lyrics has meaning unlike those songs out there right now which have lyrics so rubbish and lines are quite repetitive. >,< Hey, can you do a second voice (I'm not quite sure if that's the correct term)? I think it would be more dramatic if there is a second voice on the last chorus perhaps? Well, that's just my opinion... Overall, Good job! (so don't hate your voice, okay?) :3
Good idea! I had thought it would sound best if it was simple, but some harmony would do it some good.
I'll add that this evening!
The Spelling Bee
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I believe the script isn't crap but it does make me feel... Awkward.. Hahaha! This is the WORST thing you've ever done?! Ok, you're making me hate you! The voices are distinct, with the exception on Patrick and Johnny though. They seemed to sound very similar except that Johnny has a bit of a certain accent. For some reason, Emma reminds me of SpongeBob. I really like Ricky Jackson's voice, it justifies its role perfectly. Yeah, perhaps it would be better that the background music is a bit louder and the script longer but, what the hell... It is still pretty good. Thumbs up!
Yeah, the issue with Patrick and Johnny is that they're both young boys at a spelling bee - so you can't really make them too different.
But I did what I could. If you heard them back to back it would be easy to tell them apart, so that's good enough for me! Haha
Thanks for the review. <3
Inspired - Update 2
Rated 3 / 5 stars
I'm not a professional musician but I love to hear classical music pieces. Hmm.. Let's see...
My Impression
1st Listen - It was created for a horror scene though the melody doesn't fit the genre anymore later on
2nd to 5th listen - The scene was in a windy or stormy scenario or perhaps at a sea side?
The thing is, I'm not quite sure what story you are trying to tell here. The drums are good but the windy effects (I don't know what the instruments are) don't quite ride on with your melody; the melody (for me, that is) is either inducing you to reminsce or to be inspired but your said effects sound a little bit menacing. Unless you would tell me what's the story behind it and I might understand the use of such effects...
This is an unfinished piece, so the background noise is just some random noises for now. The overall story is something along the lines of the first spring rains, slowly trickling and then building to a storm... At least, thats what im planning for it, so far... Thanks for the review!

What?! Seriously? You better finish this, man! I'm dying to hear the rest of this very well played musical piece. It's like watching a love story which gets to the climax then, out of nowhere, a black out hits.. O,o
Of course I will! But in the meantime, turn on looping, it makes it almost feel finished!

JUST off Oak Street, the main drag of Hood River, Ore., there's a block of multistory town houses, each with an ordinary-looking garage door at street level. But look close, and you'll notice something odd. There are no accompanying curb cuts — no breaks in the concrete at the street to allow driving in.
Cars are parked on the street. The garages are filled with sports equipment — in particular, the boards, sails, masts and attendant paraphernalia of windsurfing.
"These were built with second-home owners in mind," said Greg Colt, a local real estate agent. And in Hood River, second homes are owned by windsurfers.
Hood River, in the Columbia River Gorge on the border of Oregon and Washington, is a windsurfer's paradise. Steady winds funnel up through the Cascade Mountains from cooler climes on the Pacific coast toward the warm inland desert to the east, whipping the wide Columbia River into a froth of wind-driven waves.
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Hood River's usual population of 6,500 doubles as the windsurfers crowd into town. And as the gorge area's second-home market has grown, builders have figured out that luring buyers is easier if they are given a place to keep their sailboards and other stuff.Continue reading the main story
Whether vacation homes are new town houses, old downtown bungalows, or McMansions marching up the ordered pear orchards of the Hood River Valley — the garage "is a key component to every house," said Steve Gates, a local builder who also owns a windsurfing shop. "And it's not for cars."
Even in condominium buildings where there are no personal garages, some place for the gear has to be found, as Frank Bosl and Pam Sheets can tell you. They live primarily in Seattle but are longtime Hood River windsurfers, and bought a condo in a four-story building in downtown Hood River in 2005. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, black granite countertops or a view of the Columbia through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
But ask them what sold them on it, and Mr. Bosl won't point to the cherry floors or the awe-inspiring views. Instead he will grab his keys, pull you into the elevator and press "P" for parking. Down in the bowels of the building, he'll walk by his 1979 Ford pickup, loaded with windsurfing gear, and open the door to a nearby locker large enough to swallow not only all of their windsurfing boards, sails and wetsuits, but also their bicycles.
"We wouldn't have bought this unless we had the storage locker," Mr. Bosl said.
Sean Aiken, a former professional windsurfer who now sells homes to other windsurfers, agrees. "Storage is key around here, for sure," he said, because vacation residents don't want to haul heavy boards, masts and sails every time they visit.
Solutions to the problem have become easier in recent years as the development of two-piece masts and the popularity of smaller boards have made windsurfing equipment easier to store. In the past, some attempts to satisfy gear-laden residents resulted in structures that were not only large but ungainly.
In one of Hood River's older second-home developments, the Timbercrest condominiums, built in 1990, stands what looks like a tight grouping of four octagonal grain silos. Inside these strange-looking contrivances, tall masts and boards can be stored upright.
Another condo development, the Lodge, has rows of skinny, two-story gear lockers that could double as changing rooms for Yao Ming.
The locker that belongs to Mr. Bosl and Dr. Sheets is not much taller than head-high, but it has 550 cubic feet of storage. Their living space, meanwhile, is a compact 1,000 square feet.
Downsized homes and upsized storage areas aren't unique to second homes in the Columbia gorge. According to a study completed in January by the National Association of Home Builders, "The Home of the Future," future buyers will want more storage of all kinds, from linen closets to mud rooms.
"Across the U.S., developers and builders are becoming more cognizant of and including all kinds of storage," said Margaret Wylde, president of ProMatura, a market research company.
For physically active baby boomers now driving much of the condo market, many of them downsizing from large homes where they raised families, storage also means places for their gear — frequently for water sports. One nationwide survey found that more than half of the owners cited an interest in water sports as one reason they bought their second homes.
IN the Columbia River Gorge, whose vistas are protected by the 85-mile-long Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, water is the main attraction.
When the region first became synonymous with American windsurfing in the 1980s, trucks bearing logs from the nearby Mount Hood National Forest were still common on the roads. Discover Bicycles, a road and mountain biking shop on Oak Street, was still a hardware store. And there were no gas stations off Interstate 84 advertising sail repairs in their windows.
Vacation accommodations were scant. Many a longtime visitor has stories about sleeping in a van in a pullout by the river or pitching a tent at the Wind Ranch, a rowdy private campground that was on the Washington side of the Columbia.
The ratty vans are still around, but accommodations have gone upscale. A 2005 survey of the 25 agents at Don Nunamaker Realtors in Hood River found that almost a fourth of 177 buyers from the previous 16 months had bought second homes rather than primary residences.
In the off season, Hood River neighborhoods are dotted with closed-up vacation properties, which locals call ghost houses.
Mr. Aiken estimates that he sells about 25 second homes a year. "And every one of them probably windsurfs or kiteboards," he said.
THREE years ago, Jim Adams, 48, a chiropractor from Santa Barbara, Calif., bought a house in Hood River in part because of its large garage. He lives in an attached studio when he comes to town to windsurf, and he rents out the main residence.
He plans to subdivide the garage to share the storage space with his tenants.
"That's the baby boomer generation," he said. "We don't need as much room to be living in because we live outside. We just use our houses to sleep in."
Corbin Shays, a developer, tucked 800-square-foot garages under a row of 1,500-square-foot town homes just west of downtown that he finished this winter.
"I don't want to build something where people have their stuff stacked up outside for everybody to look at because we didn't provide enough storage," he said.
Joe Alexander and Gail Karvonen of Portland, Ore., bought one of the units to rent out in the summer, keeping in mind their potential tenants' likely reason for coming to the area. "We thought it would be helpful for them to keep their kiteboarding equipment inside," Mr. Alexander said.
The gear-friendly mindset along the Columbia isn't confined to Hood River. Across the Columbia in Washington, a lumber company wants to turn a derelict waterfront mill into a 60-acre destination resort marketed specifically to windsurfers. The resort, Broughton Landing, is expected to sell about a third of the planned 255 homes and condos as seasonal residences.
The project faces several permitting hurdles, but if built, it will have a private beach on the Columbia with storage lockers for guests and residents, said Mike Usen, the project's designer.
Speaking of windsurfers, he said, "Instead of having to drive your rig down to a launch site somewhere, you can just walk across this pedestrian bridge and your rig will be ready to go."
But new winds are also blowing in the Columbia Gorge. Woe to the builder who considers only the wind riders.
Hood River now attracts mountain bikers interested in the free riding terrain at Post Canyon and whitewater kayakers drawn to the drops of the White Salmon River, a tributary that enters the Columbia across from Hood River.
Now, said Mr. Gates, the builder who doubles as a windsurf shop owner, "we really have to provide space for windsurf boards, kayaks and bikes."Continue reading the main story

"Up to this point Sunday School at our church has been the main spiritual discussion starter for me and my son. We started BRAVE and he has shown so much enthusiasm for learning more of the Bible! Also, it's amazed me how much easier applying the Bible has been for both of us. I really appreciate the work that's been put into this content and how much the weekly emails have inspired me to be intentional about discussing biblical things with my son. I'll forever be grateful."
"I know it is my job and my desire to point my son towards God and to make sure he builds the right relationship with our Father. The problem is I am often intimidated by how to go about it. I am not sure how to find verses that apply or how to package them to impact my son. BRAVE provides a great framework and helps steer me to what I should be introducing to my son and on what timeline. Because it is you partnering with other dads you are not alone in the process. This team approach also helps as it allows the dads to feed off one another and support one another. Lastly it seems to have the right mix of fun and message. Over the last 2 years my son cannot wait for each one of our sessions to happen."

If we dump road signs, do we
Now traffic experts from around the world are hotfooting it to these seven cities where the 'no-signals' traffic experiment has drastically reduced the number of accidents.india Updated: Dec 26, 2007 22:36 IST
At first look, it would seem that seven cities in five countries of the European Union have thrown all caution to the winds. But motorists in these cities have become even more cautious by simply binning traffic signals and signs altogether.
Now traffic experts from around the world are hotfooting it to these seven cities where the 'no-signals' traffic experiment has drastically reduced the number of accidents.
The rationale of doing away with signals and signages as a means to regulate traffic is something that Dutch traffic guru Hans Monderman has always prescribed. "The greater the number of prescriptions, the more people's sense of personal responsibility dwindles," he states sagely. The latest town to taste success by conducting this experiment is Bohmte in Germany, whose mayor had this interesting brief, "We want to confuse people. When they're confused, they'll be more alert and drive carefully."
Will this work in India's towns? Will it work on the roads of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, whose traffic nightmares make road rage a behavourial trait? Here in India we don't bother with traffic signals or symbols. We are as comfortable hauling the motorcycle across the 8-inch-high divider as we are swinging like chimps over railings. And our cities are replete with traffic signs that flash while signifying little if nothing. Even the traffic police retire to their kiosks, their whistling and waving adding to the confusion.
So, shall we also do away with these signs that come in the way of our natural confusion — and anarchic nature. We say no. How else will we taste the thrill of breaking order and embracing chaos?

America, Arrival, Assisted, Canada, Castle, Departure, Ellis, Emigrants, Emigration, Garden, Grosse, Island, Kilkenny, List, Newfoundland, North, Passenger, Port, Ship, Tipperary, Waterford, Wexford
Early emigrants to North America were mainly protestants or presbyterians. This changed dramatically after 1846; the majority were destitute and desperate Catholics, many of whom spoke only Irish or a poor english. They were mainly illiterate, unskilled and isolated, forming ghetto groups for refuge among their own kind in their adopted land North America
As the Great Hunger took hold in Ireland (late 1840's ~ early 1850's), Irish immigration to America came via the Atlantic to the East Coast Ports (Boston, New York, Philadelphia) and over land/sea from Canada, then known as British North America
Emigration Exceptions
There is one main exception to this claim where emigration was sustained over a much longer period and concentrated from a small area. Emigration occurred from the south-east of Ireland – counties, Waterford, Tipperary, Kilkenny, Wexford and to a lesser degree Carlow from as early as the late 1600's of mostly Catholics. Initially, this was seasonal migration to work on the fishing boats and in the fish processing works on the Grand Banks and in Talamh on Éisc (Newfoundland). Permanent settlement became more the norm from the late 1700's. View an archived video of those who made this land their permanent home.

It was decent.. I can't give you much more than a 5, for these reasons; 1) You lacked originality. It's a huge thing these days... But seeing as you are the first one to do this, in this manner, I could give you 1 or 2 points.. 2) Where's the fun in looping? Still, no originality. I know how you could think it would be flat out enjoyable because it was Tetris, but personally, as a critic, _I_ would have enjoyed more than just the same thing twice. Maybe a jump to the left.. Or a skip off scene where you act a little less... serious.. I could only deduct another 1 or 2 points from the total. 3) (Big one.) Timing. It got very annoying when it started getting a little off near the end.. If looping wasn't bad enough, this undoubtedly finished it off. I had to get rid of some points... It was needed, badly.

I wonder if Ceefus..
.. was actually trying to get his ass kicked. This is way too good to be dissed like that. Seriously, give this some points! This is 100% originality.

You thought wrong.. Any real artist could do THIS in something that would take 2 minutes.
You're wrong. The shading is shit.
You're wrong. It's not the perfect face, and I think you know what it really is.
Do things you're good at. Make sure everything you submit to Newgrounds is something good. Or else people will troll you. People will hate your work, or you just wont get scouted.
You suck, dude.
dude it was a test jesus, it took a minute to talk

Free hand?
This is great! And I see no reason why it shouldn't deserve an A in my book.
But, seriously, did you draw this with just a pen/pencil? Cause, that's pretty damned cool.
Yes, I drew it with a pencil only.
