If you're looking for a stylish family carrier, smooth ride, comfortable interior and optimum levels of safety, you'll love the 2018 Kia Sedona. It's also solid value, with a cavernous interior, a powerful V6 engine, A leader in his class and an initial price of about $ 28,000. If you're looking for an AWD minivan, you're in the wrong place. Only the Toyota Sienna is all wheel drive in this class. In addition, 2018 Kia Sedona is not available in hybrids. The only hybrid in the minivans category is the Chrysler Pacifica hybrid, and it's the most fuel efficient MPV available.
Kia's design has become a global leader, regardless of price, and the new 2018 Kia Sedona is attractive, especially on SX Limited models with its 19 inch chrome wheels. Kia decided to make this family vehicle look more like an SUV and less like a van. The key elements are a hood with less slope, side panels with a minimum of folds and a waist line that rises from the windshield pillar to the back of the truck. The front fascia features Kia's distinctive "tiger nose" grille and light emitting LED accents for the headlamps, while the rear features a roof spoiler and LED tail lights.
Like its competitors, the new 2018 Kia Sedona has three rows of seats and seats for eight or seven passengers, the latter being reserved for high-end seats with seats sought after in the second row. Although more cavernous inside and more spacious than most 3 row SUVs, the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Chrysler Pacifica are larger and offer more space for passengers and more cargo capacity behind the seats of the 3rd. row. The comfort of the seat is excellent, especially with the option of first class seats in the lounge, which equips a Sedona SX Limited with second row reclining seats worthy of a lounge. We also appreciate the contemporary design of the 2018 Kia Sedona cabin. It looks great and the controls are intuitive and easy to reach.
It is likely that the 2018 Kia Sedona has a standard 6 speed automatic transmission. The engine is a 3.3 liter V6 with up to 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. Customers will be surprised at the diversity of the fuel economy system. Improved fuel consumption is highly anticipated. It is believed that the korean made van will have about 24 miles per gallon for road trips and 18 mph urban roads.
It is very likely that the 2018 Kia Sedona will be available sometime in the fourth quarter of 2017. The 2018 Sedona model prices will not vary between them and those of 2017. The different style packages will be offered at different prices which will be consumer friendly models include models EX, L, LX and SXL. The most affordable model will be the L model, while the SXL model will be the highest in price, around $ 43,000. The other two, the EX and the LX, will cost about $ 28,000 and $ 43,000 respectively.

You may have been tricked by a recent Facebook post that showed a dog with what some believed to be a horrible burn on his face. The photo was captioned, "This poor dog was badly burned and disfigured trying to save his family from a house fire." Many offered prayers and condolences for the poor pup. But if you bother to take a look at the picture, you'll notice that the dog's face isn't burned at all. It's just covered with a slice of ham.
The trick worked, as supportive comments poured in. The photo has been shared over 100,000 times and has been liked by over 65,000 people. Of course, not everyone was fooled, and plenty of people joined in on the laugh. It's great that people are so quick to offer support when they hear of a dog in trouble, but the hardest thing this pup had to go through was probably waiting to devour the ham on his face.
"Ham Dog," as some are now calling him, has inspired plenty of memes and artwork from people who want to join in the fun. Take a look at some of the hilarious photos people have been posting if you want a laugh today.
Were you fooled by Ham Dog? Or did you find the whole thing funny? Let us know in the comments below.

Corey Lewandowski will be a fierce surrogate on CNN for Donald Trump — if his first appearances are any indicator.
During a Monday-morning interview on the network, Trump's former campaign manager exchanged rhetorical barbs with former New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn over the United Kingdom's vote last week to leave the European Union. Lewandowski said Hillary Clinton's opposition to the so-called Brexit demonstrated that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee fundamentally misread the desires of the UK electorate.
"This is Hillary Clinton, who is the secretary of state, who says she has a better understanding of world political affairs than anybody else, and she couldn't see this vote coming?" Lewandowski said.
"This is a person who prides herself on international affairs and couldn't understand what was actually taking place? It truly calls into question her ability to understand what's going on in other geopolitical areas around the world."
Quinn countered that leaders should promote outcomes that benefit constituents, rather than simply identify the politically popular position.
"Elected officials are supposed to be leaders, not people who put their finger in the air and say what they believe voters are gonna say," Quinn said. "And what have we not heard from Donald Trump? What would his plan be if he was president to save American 401(k)s? We haven't heard that because that's not his concern."
But Lewandowski didn't back off his attacks, saying that Clinton and President Barack Obama were attempting to unfairly influence British voters.
"He didn't weigh in like Hillary Clinton did, like Barack Obama did, saying that, 'You can't do this,'" Lewandowski said.
"Because he didn't know what it was," Quinn interjected, alluding to a Hollywood Reporter article indicating that Trump wasn't familiar with the term "Brexit," the shorthand description for the British exit from the EU.
"He said, 'You can do it because you decide on your own what the right thing to do is,'" Lewandowski said. "And Hillary Clinton had this so wrong that the people rejected her."
While just a week ago Trump's children were pushing Lewandowski out of the campaign, the two side's arguments were virtually identical on Monday's morning shows.
Appearing on "Fox and Friends" on Monday, Eric Trump said it was neither Clinton nor Obama's business to weigh in on the vote at all.
"She's supposed to be have her finger on the pulse of what's going on, and once again she got it wrong," Trump said of Clinton.
He added: "She's always gotten the foreign policy of our country wrong. Why did she even need to opine on this issue?"
The Clinton campaign has maintained that the vote has wide-ranging economic consequences for the US.
Addressing a conference of mayors in Indianapolis on Sunday, Clinton slammed Trump's response to the Brexit, claiming that the results of the vote took a $100 billion toll on American retirement savings accounts on Friday.
"We are resilient, and we will bounce back from this and from all of the other shocks that are in the system," Clinton said. "But it is a reminder that what happens around the world has consequences that can hit home quickly and affect our lives and our livelihoods."
"We need leaders like yourselves at the local and state and federal level, who understand how to work with other leaders to manage risks; who understand that bombastic comments in turbulent times can actually cause more turbulence; and who put the interests of the American people ahead of their personal business interests."

Processed foods & Pollutants in the body
If you are in normal health, simplfying your diet and avoiding all processed commercial foods will increase your energy dramatically. If you are seriously ill, avoiding all processed foods COMPLETELY and their pollutants is REQUIRED in order to recover your health. Too often, gravely ill people just don't seem to realize the importance of that last statement.
Many successful, alternative therapies, like The Gerson Therapy, offered for serious dieseases have CLEAN, natural vegetative food as the mainstay of the therapy. In this issue, we won't spend time on the substantial topic of the qualitative nutritive loss caused by the commercial processing of food. Instead, we'll just focus on the contaminants and pollutants that accompanies this divitalized, life-robbing food.
In order to heal, it's not enough to just detoxify. With serious illness, you have to stop ingesting new pollutants in order to give the body a chance to build up strength and fight the disease, rather than squander its energy removing pollutants from the body.
There are many more pollutants in supermarket food than most people are aware of. If you are the sort of person who's even reading a newsletter like this, you probably know about pesticides, preservatives, food colorings, fertilizer residues, fumigants, depleted soils, bioengineered seeds, BGH growth hormones, antibiotics added to animal feed, irradiated foods, excess sugar, excess salt, excess phosphates, hydrogenated products, solvent residues in de-caffienated coffee, etc. etc.
You may be carefully reading labels , but what about the pollutants that aren't printed on the label? For openers, the FDA permits food processesors to omit many pollutants that fall below a certain concentration level in the product. The FDA (with a little encouragement from food industry lobbyists) has decided that these low levels of pollutants "are generally safe for human consumption", This is an erroneous assumption because even the smallest amounts of pollutants permit the oganisms which cause disease conditions to proliferate.
In other cases, not all the ingredients (and their hidden pollutants) for some products have to be listed because of grandfather clauses. Ice cream and Coca Cola comes to mind.
Some of the most worrisome unlisted pollutants, however, are petroleum-based SOLVENTS which the FDA MANDATES that food manufacturers use in order to meet FDA antiseptic requirements! Other solvents are introduced by distributors, handlers, food processing machinery, or are the by-product of an extraction process. Regardless of their origin, solvent pollutants encourage the development of disease and most importantly -SOLVENTS ALLOW MANY TYPES OF PARASITES TO PROLIFERATE AND COMPLETE THEIR ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE WITHIN THE HUMAN BODY. You don't have any parasites you think? Think again.
Any person reading these words has at least a dozen parasites or stages of parasites in their body at this very moment. If you live with a pet, you probably have double that number. You can't avoid them in modern America. These parasites, along with their associated bacteria and viruses, cause most disease conditions! When you rid the body of (1) solvents (which supports parasite growth) and (2) other toxic pollutants, the (3) associated bacteria and viruses, and finally (4) the parasites-you no longer have disease. Healing is spontaneous and automatic. The human body is inherently designed to heal itself and be healthy-if given the chance.
The solvents that I'm referring to include: benzene, iso-propyl alcohol (propanol), toluene, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, methyl ethyl keytone, decane, xylene, pentane, hexane, mineral oil, Trichloroethylene (TCE) and many, many others.
(This information can be read in far greater depth and detail in the books of Dr. Hulda Clark.)

Natural Therapies
Georges Lakhovsky and The Multi-Wave Oscillator (MWO)
In the last newsletter, I discussed Lakhovsky's discovery that all living cells oscillate. In addition, his research established that all living cells can both receive and radiate these oscillations. He found that plants and people could be healed by capturing cosmic rays with simple wire 'antennaes' which caused resonance or amplification of the oscillating frequencies of the host cells. The improved oscillation of hosts' cells would 'swamp' or over-ride the oscillations (different frequencies) of the disease-causing organisms that was afflicting the host. This caused the disease organism to die off, while the hosts' cells recovered their immunity and health.
Lakhovsky later realized that he could accelerate the healing process by creating his own waves, instead of relying on the very weak cosmic radiations as the source of resonance stimulation. He refined a machine that could produce a very broad band of high frequency signals. He created a unique antennae design to radiate these frequencies: imagine taking a length of soft copper tubing and bending it into a perfect circular coil of about 3 feet in diameter, but leaving an inch gap where the ends meet. Attach small, round metallic knobs to the ends of the coil. Now make another similar circle, but a little smaller in diameter so it could fit inside the first coil you made, but without touching it. Leave this next coil open-ended as well. Continue this process until you have a very small diameter copper coil at the center. Now, hold it all together with silk thread. It almost looks like a copper spider web. Power it with a Tesla Coil and you have the Multi-Wave Oscillator.
The patient sat on a wooden stool between two opposing antennae (or resonators as Lakhovsky called them) which were seperated by approximetely 5 feet. The treatment lasted about 15 minutes and was completely painless. Most patients felt no sensations whatsoever. Less severe disease conditions frequently required just one tretment to sufficiently stimulate the body to heal. Other, more serius conditions, required multiple visits spread out over some weeks.
Lakhovsky initially enjoyed great success with his MWO for the treatment of cancers and many other difficult-to-cure conditions in Italy, Spain , and France during the late 1930's. He moved to New York in 1941 and was invited to open a special clinic at a well known NY hospital where his machine and techniques were applied to many patients with remarkable and unexpected success.
It all ended suddenly and tragically, however, when Lakhovsky died in a mysterious 'accident' in 1942. The clinic was abruptly closed, and the Multi-Wave Oscillator placed in storage in the basement of that hospital for 22 years until Dr Bob Beck tracked it down in 1963. He got permission to examine the MWO and took it apart. Bob figured out how it worked, and began writing about the MWO and its inventor for Borderlands Magazine and (thankfully) rescued the MWO design and the Lakhovsky story from certain obscurity. The MWO is buildable and can be made available to researchers who wish to explore its capabilities, but don't feel the need to rush out and buy one for personal use. There's a simpler and far charper way to cure ALL diseases! You'll read about it right here over the next few issues.
We have available a limited number of spiral-bound reprint copies of the two most important books that explore the full extent of Lakhovsky's research and the Multi-Wave Oscillator: This is MUST Reading for alternative health researchers.
1. The Secret of Life by Georges Lakhovsky . This is Lakhovsky's definitive opus. It was published in English in 1939. ($25 donation)
2. The Waves That Heal by Mark Clement. Clement was both Lakhovsky's English translator and dedicated biographer. He carefully annotated and filed all of Lakhovsky's notes and research journals, except the NY journals which mysteriously 'disappeared' immediately after Lakhovsky's death.

How the Body Works
Kinesiology Allergy Muscle Test
It is not necessary to ingest foods or medicines in order to determine how your body will react to them. Any two people can perform a simple Kinesiology Allergy Muscle Test to find out what substances agree with you and what you should avoid. All substances including food, medicines, clothing, beverages, plants, etc. project an an ethereal energy field. If a substance's energy field agrees with you, you will get a strengthening effect in your muscles. You'll get a weakening effect from those things that your body doesn't want. You should also know that the substance being tested is having a similar effect on your immune system. If your muscle goes weak, it means that your immune system is also going downhill.
The test is easy. It's usually most convenient to do the test standing up, but it's also possible to do it while sitting, or even laying down.
This is how to perform the Kinesiology Allergy Muscle Test.
If standing, the tester places his left hand on the right shoulder of the person being tested. The tester is usually standing at an oblique right angle to the front of the testee. The tester places his right hand on the extended (straight out in front, parallel to the floor) left hand wrist of the person being tested. The testee holds the substance that he wants to test in his right hand held close to his solar plexus (stomach). Held in this location, the vibrational energy of the substance being tested will interact with the testee's solar plexus chakra's energy field. The change in muscle resistance occurs instantly when you hold the test substance within the body's auric energy field.
In executing the test, the tester will try to push the testee's arm down. The testee attempts to offer MODERATE muscular resistance to the LIGHT downward thrust of the tester. It's not necessary to push the arm all the way down. An inch or two movement will tell you everything that you want to know. It also doesn't require using a lot of strength or exertion. It takes a little practice to sensitize yourself to the degree of exertion needed, but once you get the hang of it, you will notice just how easily the arm moves down in reaction to an offensive substance (the more offensive, the greater the weakness). Conversely, you will notice a marked increase in resistance (more muscle strength) to a substance that the testee's body needs (mineral, vitamin, food, etc.).
The most accurate way you can perform this test is to have the testee stand in sunlight, wearing only natural fabrics (E.g. cotton or silk), natural shoes (rubber or leather, or no shoes), without wearing a digital watch or sunglasses. If you do the test inside the house, don't stand under fluorescent lights. Only use lighting from incandescent bulbs or natural indoor light. Again, the results are more accurate if the testee only wears natural fabrics, including underwear and socks.
Synthetic fabrics, fluorescent lights, digital watches, pink colors, strong magnetic fields ( turned on TV, computers, etc.), etc., all interfere with your ethereal (auric) energy field and weaken you. It's more difficult to notice a slight difference in muscle resistance when you are contaminating the test with so many muscle-weakening influences.
Test Samples
You can assemble a large variety of food test samples by putting a little piece of various food samples in a small brown or clear glass half ounce bottle with a screw-on bakelight cap (Chem labs, some drug stores), or in a plastic bag. You can start with 25 bottles or so, but if you want to get serious about doing this, buy 75 or 100 bottles. For long-term use, some items, like meat, has to be preseved by adding a teaspoon of a 50/50 mix of 50% grain alcohol (100 proof vodka) and filtered (or distilled) water. Lable the bottle and note that it's in a base of grain alcohol and water. For non-meat samples, just lable each bottle with the name of the food item (E.g corn, sugar, white bread, etc.).You can build up an impressive testing sample set in short order by including a sample of the most common food and beverage items found in the house. You can also put samples of various types of fabrics, chemicals, soaps, detergents, paints, nail polish, drugs, animal fur, etc. in your sample bottles. Use your imagination. People can have an allergic reaction to practically everything under the sun, including other people!
Lable everything clearly. Be sure to test for a negative reaction to pure grain alcohol first before using those test samples that have a base of alcohol and water, otherwise your testee might be reacting to the alcohol instead of the protein in the sample bottle. Of course, the testee can hold the raw food item directly in his hand, but assembling the sample bottles is much neater, cleaner, and faster. The 50/50 grain alcohol and water mixture will preserve a decayable substance indefinitely.
I usually test for 10 or 15 items, take a 10 minute break, and try another 10-15 items. Some people don't break, but I find the rest period helps. Anybody can learn to do this. It's not necessary to see a doctor or spend money. With this simple test you will glean more information than a lab test offers, without the hassle or expense. We have other tricks in our bag for home allergy testing, but this one is fast and very convenient. Try it.
Emerging Diseases
A recent article from Reuters news...
9-18-98 LONDON (Reuters) - British, American and French doctors warned Wednesday "it's only a matter of time" before tuberculosis in Russia spreads to the rest of the world. "It is only a matter of time before drug-resistant tuberculosis of Russian origin becomes a reality in other countries worldwide," Dr. Nicholas Banatvala, of Medical Emergency Relief International (MERLIN), said. In a statement issued jointly with Medicins Sans Frontieres and the New York Health Research Institute, the British charity called for the world community to provide funds to combat the crisis. All three organizations are piloting modern TB treatments in Russia.
"Current levels of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Russia are alarming and the economic crisis will exacerbate the problem many times over. In our view, this local humanitarian disaster has reached the proportions of a direct global public health threat," Banatvala added. MERLIN estimates that the emergency program for Russia would cost about $100 million, adding that the sum is small in comparison to the number of deaths that will occur if the problem is not addressed. Tuberculosis is an airborne infection that kills three million people each year. New drug-resistant strains are emerging and the disease has reached epidemic proportions in many poor countries.After nearly being wiped out, it is also re-emerging in some rich countries. MERLIN said the shortage of anti-TB drugs in Russia will lead to substandard antibiotic treatment that will increase drug-resistant strains.
News articles abound on the subject of emerging diseases. The danger is real, but the only solution offered in these stories is the use of newer and "better" drugs. You can't depend on this. When major epidemics break out, there will surely be problems of availability, accessibility, and affordability. Beyond that, it's far wiser in my opinion, to prepare against epidemics and bio-terror attacks with natural, non-pharmaceutical methods of immune boosting and prophylactic protection. This should be your first line of defense. Consider antibiotics as a backup system, not vice-versa. .
Remember, you always pay a price for using drugs.
If you haven't noticed, weather conditions are worsening around the globe. We're having more severe storms, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions than in the past. In early 1996, Educate-Yourself wrote a 22 page synopsis which included our thoughts on the reasons for these weather changes and titled it "Coming Attractions". Elsewhere on our web site, you can find a link to that document. Weather anomalies will continue to escalate and worsen over the next few years. We will experience unprecedented flooding in many parts of the United States in the near future. A repeated caution: Prepare
Millions are being affected by the flooding that continues to devastate the Chiapas region of Mexico; along China's rivers; in Bangladesh ; and from hurricane Georges in the Caribbean region. Flood waters bring disease. This water is not clean. Flood waters almost always contains fecal matter from overflowed sewage systems. Sewage waters always harbor bacterium such as E-Coli, Typhus, etc. This is what spreads disease after a major flood. Within the near future, such large scale floods will be common HERE in the USA. Take precautions NOW to be prepared if you are caught in flood waters. Obtain a Colloidal Silver Generator and make your own colloidal silver (or buy it ready made from us or others. We make CS available at $1 per ounce). Drink CS daily and carry a small CS atomizer in your pocket wherever you go. It may save your life when times get tough.
The Mind-Body Connection
Dowsing, Part I
We can access the higher, vibrational (spiritual) realms of our consciousness through varied means: Meditation, psychidelic drugs, Clairvoyance, the Ouija board, mediumship, Remote Viewing, etc. Some means may be harmful or dangerous for some people, while other techniques require natural gifts, and yet others require a lot of training to become competent. Dowsing, on the other hand, is one of the easiest ways to access the collective unconscious and your Higher Self with the least amount of time invested in study and training. Most people think that dowsing is just used to find water. That's the popular perception, but dowsing can be used to get ANSWERS to just about anything you can think of, providing you frame the question correctly.
I was pushed to attend a Dowser's meeting a few years ago by a friend and I thought that I was going to be bored out of my mind, but I couldn't have been more mistaken. It was the best move that I was ever 'forced' to make.
At Dowsers' meetings, we ocassionally talk about dowsing, but more often the subject is Radionics, Bio-medicine, the Kaballah, Psychic Development, Color Therapy, or similar topics. But I digress... Let's talk Dowsing 101.
Anyone who's ever seen someone dowse for water, will typically see a dowser walking along the land with a "Y" shaped thin branch or flexible plastic rod firmly grapsed in both hands. When the pointer of the "Y" rod suddenly points downs (or up), that is suppose to indicate where the water is.
Does it really work? You bet it does!
What you don't see, or more accurately 'hear', is what's going on inside the dowser's mind. He's repeatedly saying to himself as he walks along: "indicate if there is water here" or ""point down when I walk over a water vein" or "respond when I reach water", or something close to that. Who's he talking to? He's communicating with a boundless information source known as the "superconscious" which is connected with all living things though the subconscious. Dowsing instruments, such as thependulum , the aura meter, "L" rods, or the "Y" rod cited above provide a communication interface with our subconscious. Some prefer to think of it as a dialog with the Higher Self or Spirit Guides.
To be continued...
(I have about 15 books on dowsing, but the best dowsing "course"
that I've ever read was a 24 page booklet called Letter to Robin
by Walt Woods, probably the finest dowser alive today. This incredible
booklet can teach anyone to be an accomplished dowser. Highly recommended

Article by Michael Shillito
Round 2 saw all games played on Saturday; an unseasonably warm day with the mercury nudging 30 degrees, unheard of for mid-April, with a stiff wind blowing through the city. A wind that fanned the flames in the south-west; and an ill wind of discontent for two of last year's finallists, who are yet to taste victory this season.
St George have been a fixture in the finals for several years in a row, but the Dragons are yet to open their account in 2018. After an opening round where they were well beaten by East Coast, their first home game also promised to be a tough one, up against defending champions Pennant Hills. And it didn't get any easier for the Dragons when they found themselves kicking into the wind in the first term.
The Demons were also coming off an opening-round loss. But, helped by the wind, they wasted little time in asserting themselves into this contest. The Demons were looking good early, winning most of the contested possessions and not allowing the Dragons any opportunities to work their way into attack. Some inaccurate finishing would work against the Demons, but four unanswered goals opened their lead up to 28 points at quarter time.
St George had some work to do to get back into the contest, but the Dragons came out breathing fire and lifted their work rate around the ground. It wasn't always the easiest of conditions, with the inconsistent wind picking up some kicks and blowing them over their targets while other passes failed to reach their mark. But with an increased resolve in the second term, the Dragons found opportunities opening up. And with five goals to one for the quarter, the Pennant Hills' lead had been reduced to six points at the long break.
The Demons were easily the better side during the premiership quarter; but some wasteful finishing would hold them back. A return of 3.8 for the quarter was a reflection of the weight of scoring chances they were building, but also a reflection of opportunities lost. Some of the shots were from tight angles or a long way out, and the conditions weren't helpful; but there were some chances that had the Demons faithful shaking their heads in disbelief. But, despite the wayward finishing, the Demons held the Dragons to two goals and held a 20-point lead at the last change.
In the last quarter, the Dragons were coming home to the scoring end. But they were unable to make anything of their attempted comeback in the last quarter. A team with plenty of young players still inexperienced at this level, the Dragons had been under the pump all day and the relentless Demon pressure and the stress of playing from behind all day took its toll. The Demons were in control, and the Dragons were unable to get enough of the ball to compete. It was all Pennant Hills in the final term, with six goals to two, turning the game into a comfortable 48-point win.
With 34 scoring shots to 11 for the day, the margin could easily have been even more. But it was a comfortable return to the winning list for the defending champions and one that sends a message to the Sydney footy world that the Demons will again be genuine contenders when we get to the business end of the season. Alex Goodall was superb for the Demons, kicking four goals in a best-on-ground performance, while Tom Angel and Ranga Ediriwickrama were ball magnets all day.
Tim Coenen, Dom Michalak and Ben Jones were tireless workers for the Dragons on a day when too many of their number were unable to make a significant impact on the game. The draw hasn't been kind to the Dragons, having to play East Coast and Pennant Hills in the first two rounds; but the results so far have seen the Dragons come well short against quality opposition.
North Shore hosted UNSW-ES at Kanebridge Oval in what would be a wind-affected game that would go down to the wire.
The Bulldogs were kicking with the stiff wind at their backs in the first term, but the pressure the Bombers applied would make it hard for the Bulldogs to capitalise on their advantage. The Bombers were getting more of the ball, preventing the Bulldogs from creating the opportunities they were looking for. The Bulldogs would manage four goals, but the Bombers' hard work in the opening quarter was rewarded with three goals into the wind, and the Bulldogs led by five points at the first change.
But the run of play changed significantly when the second quarter started. While in the first term the Bombers had looked the stronger side while going into the wind, in the second term they failed to make anything of their advantage. It wasn't the style of football the Bombers were looking for, as they turned the ball over too often and struggled to hit their targets. The Bombers would manage just two goals in the second term; while the Bulldogs scored three into the wind. And against expectations, the Bulldogs won the quarter, stretching their lead to 11 points at half time.
A scrappy third quarter saw the Bulldogs extend their advantage. The Bombers had to fight to hold the Bulldogs back, but were able to achieve this with some dogged defence and hard work to maintain possession. But despite the Bombers' efforts, it didn't look to be enough as the Bulldogs managed three goals to one in the third term, leading by 21 points at three quarter time.
The Bombers were coming home with the wind, but they were coming from a long way behind. Tired legs were struggling to maintain the pace; but the Bombers looked fitter. And the combination of stamina and the kicking wind would see them slowly but surely peel back the deficit. The Bulldogs struggled to get the ball anywhere near their forward 50, while the Bombers were full of running and every time they propelled the ball forward, their hopes began to rise. The Bulldogs did not add another goal during the final term; while the Bombers' fourth saw them take the lead for the first time in the game, with one more in the dying seconds being the icing on the cake.
A stirring comeback win for the Bombers maintains a share of the competition lead; pulling off a remarkable win in a game that had looked out of their reach for much of the afternoon. Wayd Blackburne was again unstoppable up forward to finish with four goals; while James Cubis, Jono Marsh and Erol Sertbas featured prominently around the ground.
Johnny Pawle, Jason McAnespie and Jesse Aish were best for the Bulldogs. But after looking to have this game under control for most of the day, the Bulldogs will be disappointed that this was one that got away. They've had two close games so far, but the search for the first win of 2018 will have to wait another week.
Premier Division newcomers Camden made the long drive to Weldon Oval buoyed by a first-up win against Wests. But the Cats were handed a lesson in tough away travel when they were never in the hunt against Manly, with the Wolves prevailing by 56 points.
The Wolves were coming off a heavy defeat in the opening round; and knew they had to hit back hard in this game. And from the start they wasted no time in asserting their dominance, tackling and dispossessing the cats out of the contest. A stiff swirling wind going across the ground made converting scoring opportunities difficult, and the Wolves sprayed several chances wide of the big sticks. But with the Wolves managing four goals and keeping the Cats scoreless, the home side was leading by 32 points at quarter time.
The Cats broke their scoring drought early in the second term, but they never looked like getting back into the contest. The Wolves' pressure was relentless, and with their confidence returning they were getting the bulk of possession and the Cats were denied the opportunity to build any form of coherent attack. It was another quarter of vintage Manly footy, as they added six goals to three and went into the rooms at half time with a 52-point lead.
Camden were more competitive in the second half, but the damage was done. It had been a tough test for the competition newcomers against a team who had themselves only come into Premier Division a few years ago but had already twice lifted the premiership cup. The Wolves were on their turf and playing their brand of footy, piling on the pressure and forcing the Cats into unforced errors. The third term yielded four goals to two in favour of the Wolves, and the home side had a lead of 68 points at three quarter time.
To Camden's credit, although well beaten, they refused to capitulate; and salvaged something from the contest by winning the last quarter. Much of the sting had gone out of the contest, but the Cats kept fighting hard with the odds stacked against them, and recovered some of the damage to their percentage with a return of five goals to three in the final term.
Hayden Washington took control of the forward line to finish with five goals for the Wolves; while Eric Burke, Aidan Butler and Kyle Martin were Manly's best around the ground. After a heavy defeat in the opening round, this was a much-needed morale-booster for the Wolves; and important in developing momentum for the season as it develops.
Ben Yakimov, Josiah Ayling and Flynn fielding never gave up for the Cats. But it wasn't enough to prevent a significant margin in Camden's first defeat in Premier Division. It was a learning experience for a team not used to being at this level; and there are lessons they will take on board for the future.
UTS took a share of the competition lead when the Bats completed their second win on the trot, a 19-point win over Wests in a scrappy, low-scoring contest at Picken Oval on Saturday afternoon.
The first quarter was an arm-wrestle as two desperate teams looked for an advantage over each other but came out blank. After going down to Camden in the opening round, the Magpies were at home for the first time, and enjoyed the challenge of being back on familiar turf. It was a tight and tough quarter of football that would see two goals apiece being scored, and the Magpies leading by two points at the first change.
The Bats took the upper hand in the second quarter with three unanswered goals. It wasn't easy to score in a tight, physical contest where bodies were on the line with every possession and loose touches were hard to find. The cross-wind, blowing the ball towards the wings, also made it difficult to kick long and straight. But with a 19-point advantage at half time, the Bats were well set.
Wests had their chances to get back into the game in the third quarter. They emerged from the rooms at half time looking stronger around the ground, and winning the fights for possession more often than not. But when the scoring chances came, too often they were squandered. An inaccurate return of 2.5 for the quarter would frustrate the Magpies, when better conversion of their opportunities could have placed the Bats under scoreboard pressure. But as it was, although the Bats managed just three scoring shots for the quarter, they were all goals; and for all the efforts of the home side, the Bats won the quarter and led by 20 points at the last change.
The Magpies still had a chance to steal the game, but the Bats' defences tightened and the Magpies were unable to bridge the gap. The game wasn't one that reached any great heights, the last quarter especially so. Just one goal apiece was scored in the last quarter, as the Magpies pressed desperately to find the scores to snatch the contest but the UTS defence held firm and inpenetrable.
Daniel Crouch, Rawson Kirkhope and Scott Jansen were best for the Bats in a game where they had to scrap and battle for every possession but got the job done. After missing out on the finals last year, the Bats have got off to the ideal start in 2018 with two wins to kick-start their campaign; and hopes are rising in the black and green camp that they can make a significant impact this year.
Callan Dell, Tyler Blake and Daniel O'Connell kept putting in for Wests, doing everything they could to keep the Magpies in the contest. The Magpies had gone down fighting, and although looking outgunned, their effort could not be faulted. They finished with more scoring shots than the Bats; but their third quarter misses in particular cost them a shot at victory. But the Magpies, a team with several new players this season, are yet to break through for their first win; and their best football will likely come as the season unfolds and their numerous new names have had more time to form themselves into a coherent unit.
Two opening-round winners in blue and gold faced off at Henson Park on Saturday afternoon when Sydney Uni hosted East Coast Eagles. And it would be the Students who would prevail to join North Shore and UTS with a share of the ladder leadership but not before a contest of fluctuating fortunes.
The Eagles were kicking with the wind in the first quarter, but their inaccurate finishing would come back to haunt them and would put them up against the odds for the rest of the afternoon. The Eagles created plenty of chances, but their scoreline of 1.5 would cost them dearly. Against the run of play, the Students would pick up two goals at the other end to lead by two points at quarter time; but the Eagles had the better of play for much of the quarter.
The Students made better use of the wind in the second quarter, kicking three goals to one to lead by 15 points at the long break. But the Students had plenty more opportunities, only to cough the ball up in the forward 50 in the face of some desperate Eagle defending. Conditions weren't helpful, with an inconsistent wind making it difficult to move the ball long with confidence or certainty; and both sides found themselves playing a short-passing game more often than they would have preferred.
When the Eagles had their second chance with the wind, they needed to lift and convert their opportunities better than they had in the first term. To some extent they were able to achieve that, as they won the quarter by three goals to one. But too few chances were created, as the Uni defence stood their ground. Time and again the Eagles would get the ball inside the 50 only to see it immediately rebound out again. For all their efforts, the Eagles were unable to take the lead during the third term. Seven points ahead and coming home with the wind, there was a spring in the step of the Students players as they went into the three quarter time huddle.
But the game wasn't over yet. The Eagles found another gear, one they really could have used when they had the wind. But they kept fighting, and kept themselves within striking distance. It was a quarter that yielded three goals apiece, as the Eagles threatened to steal the game from the Students' grasp only for the Uni team to come up with the answering goals when they were needed. The Eagles had fought hard, but the clock would run down with the Students maintaining the lead.
It was a 10-point win for the Students. Close, but enough to get over the line and remain undefeated. Monty Krochmal, Tom Ayton and Michael Nettheim featured prominently for the Students, standing tall when the pressure was on and getting the team over the line. They were put under genuine pressure in this contest, but got the job done.
Trent Stubbs was magnificent in his fight for the Eagles, kicking four goals on a day when scoring was at a premium; while Roger Haupt and Jamie Vlatko also put in key contributions for the Eagles. In the context of a season when the Eagles are hoping to return to the finals, it was disappointing for them to lose this contest; but they showed they can compete against one of the competition heavyweights. Had they kicked straight in the first quarter and put some scoreboard pressure on, they may even have won it.

Is The Tesla Model X The Hummer Of Electric Cars?
Another Tesla goes up in smoke. I've written about some of the other incidents here and here.
When I built my electric bicycle back in 2007, I had been waiting for a battery that was less volatile than what had been available. I didn't want to risk having a fireball under my seat. Tesla traded volatility for power density.
I think electric cars are great for all kinds of reasons, which is why I bought one in 2011. But like any car, they are not created equal, and as marketers begin the process of differentiating them to get us to buy them, that inequality will grow and diversify as it has for conventional cars. And for any fellow electric car enthusiasts out there who think electric cars are going to make a significant dent in carbon emissions in the foreseeable future, read Robert Rapier's article on that subject. Even a strongly biased study by the UCS shows that electric cars, on average, presently produce about half of the emissions of conventional cars in a cradle-to-grave analysis. Eliminating fossil fuels instead of nuclear from our energy mix will improve that over time. CONTINUE»
Update on the Progress of the Electrification of Transportation
I found this study on Nature Energy, which I subscribe to: Moving beyond alternative fuel hype to decarbonize transportation.
Although I disagree with the study's main conclusion, the above chart they put together (which I have modified) was of interest to me because it suggests that things are finally starting to happen when it comes to electrification of transportation. CONTINUE»
EV Update: Chevy Bolt, Tesla's Ludicrous Mode, Speed Record
The July announcement from Chevy of its upcoming $38K, 200-mile range Bolt electric car may be of similar historical importance to Nissan's announcement back in 2011 of the Leaf.
Did Tesla Just Kill Hydro Electric Power?
Thanks to Tesla's new battery packs, Russ Finley asks if we can not only stop building more hydro electric dams, but also remove the existing ones to save what remains of the last river ecosystems, restore the world's salmon runs.
Update on the Tesla Model S
Has anyone else noticed how much a Tesla Model S looks like a Jaguar XF (pictured below)? One of my neighbors drives a Tesla Model S. I was following him down the street a few weeks ago and heard his tires squeak three times in two blocks. Adequate acceleration to maneuver in traffic can enhance overall safety but too much acceleration potential can be dangerous, especially in the wrong hands. Not sure I'd want that temptation.

Fast Chargers
Tesla is dead on with their promotion of fast charging stations. The ubiquitous 240 volt chargers are next to worthless simply because they take too long. A high voltage fast charger can provide a significant charge in a matter of minutes. I recently deliberately drove my Leaf beyond its range because we needed two cars to get supplies to a wedding. My plan was to stop at a charge station on the way home for a few hours to get enough charge to finish the trip. The rest of the family came home in our Prius.
Nissan Leaf Replacement Battery for $5,500
Provision of an after-market battery pack is another electric car first and an all important step for electric cars to gain greater market share. Leaf owners now have the option to upgrade to a new battery (with new, more heat resistant chemistry) when the old one wears out, or of selling their car and letting someone else put a new battery in it. An electric car with a worn out battery wouldn't have much resale value if you couldn't replace the battery. The existence of a reasonably priced battery replacement might stimulate sales by putting at ease any prospective customers concerned about how they would sell their electric car once its battery wore out.
Are EVs More Prone to Fires Than Gasoline Cars?
Concerns Prompted by Tesla Fires
Several vehicle fires involving Tesla's new high-end Model S sedan have attracted a great deal of media scrutiny. Two of the three reported incidents are now under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Yet while the company's founder, Elon Musk, is certainly correct in indicating that gasoline vehicles are involved in the overwhelming majority of vehicle fires, including most of those resulting in fatalities, the statistical comparison he has provided in interviews got me curious enough to track down the data for myself.
How Often Do Gasoline-Powered Cars Catch Fire?
The statistic that caught my attention was that Tesla suffers an average of one fire per 6,333 cars, versus a rate of one fire per 1,350 gasoline-powered cars. I've been driving for four decades and have probably observed several million cars on the road in that time, yet I've only seen a handful that were burned-out following accidents to the extent of the recent Tesla fires. I sensed something wrong, or at least counter-intuitive about the figures cited by Tesla.
Some Thoughts on the Second Tesla Model S Fire
Like the Hummer once was, the Tesla is a status symbol (but for a different crowd). Considering its outrageous price tag, one would be hard-pressed to argue that it is a practical car for the masses. But that's OK with me, because the Tesla is an ambassador for all electric cars through a process called "status by association" (which is what name dropping is all about). We are social primates… like it or not, status seeking is built into our genes.
On the flip side, it could harm the image of electric cars if this latest trend of catching on fire continues, or accelerates. I've looked into the statistics and have concluded that, to date, a significantly smaller percentage of Tesla's catch on fire than conventional cars. Although, that could change with time. Two spectacular fires in almost as many weeks is not a good thing. A lithium fire with exploding batteries is something to behold and makes good copy. It's also dangerous if the driver should be incapacitated. To date, no Nissan Leaf has caught fire. 35,000 Leafs have been sold in the U.S. compared to 15,000 Tesla Model S sedans. But that might change as well.
Perspectives on the Tesla Fire
All conventional cars have the potential to catch on fire. A few years ago I ran over some bricks in the road that did $2,300 worth of damage to my car's undercarriage and spilled gasoline all over the road. This Tesla caught fire a few weeks ago a few miles from my office. Just thought I'd share some differing perspectives I found on the subject:
From Tesla:
"… a Model S collided with a large metallic object in the middle of the road, causing significant damage to the vehicle. The car's alert system signaled a problem and instructed the driver to pull over safely, which he did."
From the Kent Regional Fire Authority crash report:
"Driver stated that he hit an object in the HOV lanes of SB 167. The car started to run poorly and he pulled off the freeway."
The Tesla-Broder Debate and What It Says About Decarbonizing Transportation
The Electric Highway
The New York Times reporter John Broder recently published his account of an East Coast road trip he took with the Tesla Model S electric vehicle (EV). It marked an important development: Tesla has opened two new public "supercharging" stations some 200 miles apart in Delaware and Connecticut that can fully replenish the Model S battery in an hour and potentially provide consumers the ability to drive the well-traveled Interstate 95 corridor at near-zero carbon emissions. Unfortunately, Broder's test results came up short, showing the limitations of existing EV technology, the need for more innovation, and the division of opinions on how the United States should decarbonize transportation.
(Read More: Putting Some Emphasis on Electric Vehicle Charging Technology)
The set-up was simple: Broder was to travel from Washington D.C. to Milford, Connecticut in the souped-up Model S. But according to Broder, he faced a host of inconveniences as the Model S fell short of its projected 300 mile range, resulting in the car losing charge mid-drive and the need to re-route to find additional charging stations. Since then, he and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have traded accusatory statements, (Musk, Broder, Musk, Broder), with even the New York Times Public Editor chiming in with an investigation.
The back and forth ignited a mini-Internet firestorm. The Atlantic Wire, for example, heavily scrutinized Musk's rebuttal while Chelsea Sexton at Wired defended Tesla by characterizing EVs as being different from gas cars and thus deserving of different expectations. "The day-to-day experience EVs offer is so much better than gas cars for 95% of driving. Long-distance road trips are among the last 5% of usage scenarios," Sexton writes, before concluding that "it's ridiculous to expect EVs to deliver the same experience as the incumbent product."

Spring has arrived almost overnight and the domestic tiger cat is lured out by the sounds of small rodents eagerly searching for food.
He stealthily makes his way to known chipmunk holes.
Where he will patiently wait for one to emerge.
or perhaps try this one down here.
His winter coat helps him to blend seamlessly into his surroundings.
That and his uncanny ability to remain motionless for hours gives the
domestic tiger cat the upper hand for many an unsuspecting mouse.
Now imagine David Attenborough is narrating ;)

This is what I woke up to this morning… hail! I actually woke up because the wind was so loud about 6:30 this morning.
Then about 7:15 this morning we had about 4 or 5 hail storms roll through.
The dogs didn't even want to go out. They ran out and turned around and came right back in.
Aren't they cute!
Friday night on my way home I made a quick stop in at The Yarn Corner to pick up yarn for my first scarf. I have seen this Sirdar Denim Ultra on the shelf for some time and have always wanted to make something with it. Now I can say I have! I made a super simple scarf for myself.
Make knots… In the first stitch (K1,P1,K1,P1,K1), then pass 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th sts, one at a time, over the first st, then slip first st onto left-hand needle and purl.
In the second stitch do the same as the first stitch, when it is completed take the first stitch on the right hand needle and pass it over to bind off one stitch.
Continue making a knot in each stitch and Binding Off until you have completed all stitches. Then weave in the ends.
I was going to just BO and leave the scarf as is, but then decided to make knots on the end. I'm not sure if they'll stay or not yet. I used to not like bobbles and knots so much, but now I'm starting to like them more and more.
For Christmas I finished a pair of Fuzzyfeet for myself. I started them on Sunday and as able to wear them for Christmas. They really are like making a giant pair of socks.
It's hard to see how beautiful this yarn is. It's JJ's Specialty Yarns Montage 10-ply – I got it at The Yarn Corner last year sometime. It was a huge skein, I think 320 yards. I would have liked to felt them one more time but then they would be too small I think. I tried them on after 2 washes and they shaped to my foot just right.
It seems my feet are always cold these days, and these are wonderful to slip on. I saw another pattern for simple sock/slippers on Ravelry and I think I might try to make them too. They are called Fireside Footies.
This is a brief account of some of my knitting time for the last week. I also started a Koolhaus hat for my brother and it is now in the frog pile. I some how dropped a stitch and didn't realize it until the end of a round. My heart wasn't in it. So maybe I'll try again later. I was only on round 5 of the pattern repeat.
Lucky me, I get to go to work tomorrow and it's pay day! We have Tuesday off so I think I'll spend the day knitting on either a block for my afghan or one of the many projects that are in resting mode next to the sofa!
Stay warm and safe!

The latest from YOUCAT Foundation.
This CAT is out to change the world. What is this cat? Where is this cat? Why is this cat now? The book, DOCAT, is here!
DOCAT (du:kæt) is a popular adaptation of the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, a summary of the Social Teachings of the Church: "DO" comes from the verb to do whereas "CAT" stands or Catechism.
Apart from the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, insights from the two social encyclicals of Benedict XVI (Deus Caritas Est and Caritas in Veritate) and the encyclical of Pope Francis (Laudato Si') have been incorporated in this Youth-friendly Catechism. The DOCAT has been published by the Austrian Bishops' Conference and approved by the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of the New Evangelisation.

The ancient history of mankind
The oldest stories on Earth tell us that humanity originated in one place and settled on the planet after happy lost his ancestral home. Different cultures call it differently: Hellenistic biblical Paradise or Eden. Modern scientists arguing about where was the first center of civilization, from stretched filaments of consanguinity linking the most remote peoples. Called Central Africa, and even Asia. To The Extreme North. However, in the main, researchers agree that the culture of antiquity is similar to the flames, as if blown by the wind to different parts of the Earth from one fire.
The main part of time in history every civilization has focused its attention on the development of certain areas of culture. So, the Romans created the most perfect law, which formed the basis of modern law. None of the administrative apparatus in the world could not compete with the extensive bureaucratic hierarchy of China. For a long time, astronomical calculations of the Maya had no equal among the peoples of the Old world. The nomadic tribes of the great steppe has created an outstanding movement system, allowing in the shortest possible time to throw masses of people and livestock over long distances. No civilization has tried to cover all areas of life at once. But it was not always so. Continue reading
Cathedral of Milan
Grandiose and carefully designed Gothic Cathedral on the main square of Milan, Duomo di Milano, or simply Milan Cathedral — one of the most famous buildings in Europe. This is one of the biggest Gothic, and the second largest Catholic Cathedral in the world.
As often happens, the Milan Cathedral was built on the place where before him for several centuries has housed two of the Basilica. In 1075 year they were both destroyed by fire, in their place, it was decided to build the Duomo
The work has just begun in 1386, work continued for several centuries. The main spire was topped in 1762 with a statue of the Madonna, which was devoted to construction. The main volume of construction works was largely completed in 1880 Continue reading
Famous Catholic churches of Ukraine
Despite the fact that Ukraine is mostly an Orthodox country, digging deeper, you can see that its Catholic heritage and not so poor. In Ukraine there are more than 800 churches, which divided between the six Catholic dioceses, namely: Lutsk, Mukachevo, Kamyanets-Podilsky, Kyiv-Zhytomyr, Kharkiv and Zaporizhia and Odessa-Simferopol.
The word "Church" comes from the Polish castellum (strengthening). In Ukrainian, Polish, Belarusian, Slovak, and Silesian languages (Polish-Czech dialect) the word "Church" means a Christian Church, but is not used in Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches. In Czech language word used in respect to churches of all Christian denominations. Continue reading
