The Duesenberg Tour - a fleet of some of the country's most rare classic automobiles will tour Greater Hampton Roads on October 19-25 and they will come through Smithfield on Tuesday, October 21st! Duesenbergs, usually seen only at classic car shows or on screen, are hard to miss – especially when 21 of them travel together.
In recent years some of those fortunate few who own Duesenbergs have driven them together on week-long tours, usually in the western part of the country. Dwight Schaubach, a Suffolk businessman and Duesie owner, wanted to bring the vintage cars from all across the county to their first tour in Virginia and North Carolina in the "Duesenberg Tour 2014 – Southern Style." The tour will take the luxury autos from their tour base in Williamsburg to North Carolina as well as the Eastern Shore.
Glamour and quality define the Duesenbergs. One of the luxury car's most recent screen roles was in "The Great Gatsby" with Leonardo DiCaprio driving a 1929 Duesenberg Model J. Inaccurate, perhaps, because the movie was set in 1922 but the car radiated an aura of wealth and class that was all Gatsby – and is all Duesenberg.
On Tuesday, October 21, the Duesies will cruise down VA10 from Surry and make a morning coffee stop at Smithfield Station.
"This is a really big thing for Smithfield," said Ron Pack who is also a classic car aficionado and plans to roll out the welcome mat for the Duesies.
After enjoying the Pack family's hospitality, the tour will continue down VA10 to Suffolk and on to Hertford, Edenton and Duck in North Carolina. Their return to Williamsburg on Wednesday will bring them back up VA 10 in the late afternoon to the ferry in Surry.
The 80+ year old Duesenbergs are the creation of two German brothers, August and Frederick Duesenberg, self-taught engineers who specialized in experimental and sports cars. In 1920 the brothers opened a plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, to produce top-of-the-line passenger cars. Their innovative Model A's came with straight eight engines, single overhead camshafts and four wheel hydraulic brakes.
Tom Mix and Rudolph Valentino were among their celebrity customers but production lagged, sales struggled and the company went bankrupt in two years. In 1925 Cord Automobile bought the company - and the brothers' expertise - to build luxury cars with the Duesenberg name. The company produced probably fewer than 800 vehicles, priced from $15,000 up and sold to the rich and famous including The Duke of Windsor and Clark Cable as well as other well-to-do. But in 1937, as the country sunk into the Depression, the factory closed. Only an estimated half of those fabulous cars may still exist. Retired late night talk show host Jay Leno reported owns several of those – Schaubach owns two.

GuruFocus has created two new model portfolios to track the performances of overvalued stocks. These two model portfolios are Overvalued Predictable Companies and Historical High P/S Ratio Companies.
The portfolio of Overvalued Predictable Companies consists of the top 25 stocks that have high predictability rank, but are most overvalued as measured by their intrinsic values. The intrinsic values are calculated from the DCF model. Therefore, this portfolio is in the opposite of the model portfolio of Undervalued Predictable companies. The performances of these two model portfolios will be compared. We expect that the model portfolio of Overvalued Stocks will underperform both the market average and the undervalued stocks.
If one runs a portfolio by being long on the undervalued stocks and being short the same amount of overvalued stocks, the performance of the portfolio will be decided by the difference in the performances of the undervalued stocks and overvalued stocks. The shorted stocks serve as the market hedge, and the portfolio will be market neutral. The performances of the general market will not affect the returns of the portfolio. If the undervalued stocks gain more than the overvalued stocks when the broad market goes up, and lose less when the broad market goes down, this portfolio should deliver relative steady gains regardless how market goes.
As one can see, this portfolio may well underperform in an up market, and outperform in down market. The daily market fluctuations are smoothed out. We expect that this strategy outperform the market over a full market cycle when the broad market is overvalued, and positioned for slim returns.
Similarly, we created the model portfolio of stocks that are traded at historical high P/S ratios. This portfolio is in the opposite of the model portfolio of historical low P/S stocks, which gained 19.1% in 2010.
We created these model portfolios to observe the long term performances of overvalued stocks relative to undervalued stocks. As the market is overvalued, investors may need a way to hedge the market risk.
A number of gurus we track hedge their portfolios. John Hussman hedges his portfolio through the combination of index options. When fully hedged, the performances of his portfolio is equal to the difference between the performances his stocks and the general market. This strategy helped him avoid deep losses in 2008 but dragged his performance in 2009 and 2010, when the market goes up in double digits.
A lot of hedge fund gurus in our List of Gurus hedge their portfolios by shorting the stocks they think will underperform the market. These stocks are overvalued to them. This strategy is widely used by Julian Robertson and his Tiger cubs.
The details of the portfolios are for Premium Members only. If you are not a premium member, we invite you for a Free 7-day Trial.

In 1941, the fortunes of war improved slightly for Britain.
In late 1940, the RAF had narrowly won the Battle of Britain, buying the country some time.
The Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe were still just 25 miles away across the Strait of Dover but at least they were no longer banging on the door.
What the British badly needed was a way to take the fight to the enemy.
The de Havilland Aircraft Company had a revolutionary idea — a lightning fast unarmed bomber.
But with the German navy prowling the Atlantic and merchant shipping being lost at a terrible rate, the steel and aluminum to build such an aircraft were hard to come by.
The concept of a bomber that was so fast it didn't need to carry cannon or machine guns made sense in theory.
The weight of armaments took away from an aircraft's ability to carry a larger bomb load on the same amount of fuel.
As a theory it was all very well, but this was the era of the heavily armed B17 Flying Fortress.
Even if the theory proved correct, it didn't solve the practical problem of how to obtain enough material to build an aircraft in large numbers.
The project was in jeopardy but de Havilland proposed a radical solution.
They would build the aircraft out of wood.
Not surprisingly the idea of an unarmed bomber with a wooden airframe and doped fabric skin didn't convince everyone.
Surely wood simply wasn't strong enough for a modern combat aircraft.
The Minister of Aircraft Production, Lord Beaverbrook tried to close the project down more than once.
But de Havilland was a privately owned company and the project had support from Air Marshal Freeman who had flown de Havillands during the First World War and strongly believed in the idea.
And fortunately wood was not deemed an essential wartime supply.
As a result, in October 1941, a small group of onlookers gathered at RAF Boscombe Down in Wiltshire to see a prototype W4050, equipped with the latest Rolls Royce Merlin 61 engines go through its paces.
The sleek twin engine aircraft recorded a maximum speed of 437 mph and the Mosquito was on its way into production and aviation history.
For over 2 years it would be the fastest operational aircraft in the world with the added bonus of a range long enough to reach Berlin.
Its wooden construction meant piano makers, furniture manufacturers and cabinet makers could quickly be re-trained as sub-contractors.
While spruce, birch ply and balsa wood were plentiful enough that over 6,700 Mosquitoes were built during the war.
Over 30 different variants of the aircraft were produced including many armed as fighters.
But it was as a marauding raider, bombing targets like the Gestapo's Oslo headquarters with pinpoint accuracy that the Mosquito gained its reputation.
On January 30th, 1943, the commander of the Luftwaffe Herman Göring, was about to speak on the radio in Berlin.
At precisely 11am as he was introduced, three Mosquitoes from 105 Squadron dropped bombs nearby.
The sound of the explosions could clearly be heard on air disrupting the broadcast which had to be postponed..
Göring had once boasted to Berliners "If one enemy bomb falls on Berlin, you can call me Meyer."
Now the city had been bombed in broad daylight.
And its inhabitants began referring to air-raid sirens as Meyer's Trumpets.

Sketchbook Project Comes to Los Angeles
The traveling art exhibit "The Sketchbook Project" that I was a part of finally made it's stop in Los Angeles the weekend of August 2-4 at Iam8Bit Gallery. It was really cool to see my book again after it has been traveling for 8 months. They even give you a library card and you can check out the sketchbooks. Such a cool exhibit. It will live on permanently in Brooklyn, NY so if you are ever out there, you can check out my book by name! Here are a couple of shots from when I went....

The ballot language says "increase," but, in fact, this proposal is for a millage renewal. The term "increase" must be used in the ballot language because the current library tax expires on December 31, 2014, and the millage rate reverts to zero.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property with the Kalamazoo Public Library District be increased in an amount not to exceed 1.1801 mills ($1.1801 on each $1,000.00 of taxable value) for a period of 20 years, beginning in the year 2014 and ending in the year 2033, inclusive, as a renewal of that portion of 1.1926 mills previously authorized by the electors of the Library District in 1995, which has been reduced by the Headlee Amendment to 1.1801 mills, for the purpose of providing funds for Library purposes? It is estimated that 1.1801 mills would raise approximately $3,128,641 when first levied in 2014.

Operation Uphold Democracy (19 September 1994 – 31 March 1995) was an intervention designed to remove the military regime installed by the 1991 Haitian coup d'état that overthrew the elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The operation was effectively authorized by the 31 July 1994 United Nations Security Council Resolution 940.
The operation began with the alert of United States and its allies for a forced entry into the island nation of Haiti. U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Air Force elements staged to Puerto Rico and southern Florida to prepare to support the airborne invasion, spearheaded by elements of the Joint Special Operations Command[1](HQ, 75th Ranger Rgmt), followed by 3rd Special Forces Group, the US Army 7th Transportation Group (Army watercraft and terminal elements) and the 10th Mountain Division. These elements were staged out of Hunter Army Airfield (JSOC) and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The operation was directed by Commander, Joint Task Force 120 (JTF-120), provided by Commander, Carrier Group Two.[2]
As these forces prepared to invade, including elements of the 82nd Airborne already in the air, a diplomatic element led by former President Jimmy Carter, U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell persuaded the leaders of Haiti to step down and allow the elected officials to return to power. The main leader holding power was General Joseph Raoul Cédras and was the key focus of the delegation. It was only through General Powell's personal relationship with Cédras from when Cédras was a student in the "School of the Americas" as a young officer that the delegation convinced Cédras to relinquish power, even as the invasion had already been launched.
This effort was successful due in part because the U.S. delegation was able to point to the massed forces poised to enter the country. The military mission changed from a combat operation to a peace-keeping and nation-building operation at that point with the deployment of the U.S.-led multinational force in Haiti. This force was made up primarily of members of the 3rd Special Forces Group, but also included members of the 101st Military Police Company, and 101st Aviation Brigade (Ft. Campbell, KY),3/2 ACR from Ft. Polk LA and Marine Forces Caribbean. Teams were deployed throughout the country to establish order and humanitarian services. Regular Army forces consisting of units from the 10th Mountain Division occupied Port-au-Prince with 3rd Bn (Airborne) 73rd Armor Regiment (82nd Airborne Division) and elements from the U.S. Army Materiel Command provided logistical support in the form of the Joint Logistics Support Command (JLSC) which provided oversight and direct control over all Multinational Force and U.S. deployed logistics units. This included the 46th Support Group, the Joint Material Management Center, JMMC and the follow on civilian contractor LOGCAP. Additionally, the 28th CASH (Combat Support Hospital) provided medical care for service members and Haitians alike.
The U.S. Coast Guard played a significant role in the operation, providing command, control and communications services from the CGC Chase(WHEC-718) a 378' high endurance cutters anchored in Port-au-Prince Harbor. Numerous 210' and 270' medium endurance cutters, as well as 110' patrol boats worked with Navy SEAL gunboats to provide security for forces entering and exiting the twelve-mile exclusion zone and Port-au-Prince Harbor. The 10th Mountain Division was relieved in place by units of the 25th Infantry Division (Light) under command of Major General George Fisher. The 25th Infantry Division deployed on 4 January 1995 from their home station of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii and officially assumed command authority from the 10th Division on 9 January 1995. General Fisher and the 25th Infantry Division were the headquarters element of what is officially known as the Multinational Forces, Combined Task Force 190, Republic of Haiti.
The U.S. Army Reserve unit, 458th Transportation Detachment (ATMCT), Belleville, Illinois, was activated and reported to Fort Bragg, North Carolina within 48 hours of notification.[citation needed] This was the fastest a Reserve unit has ever been deployed.[citation needed] The 458th manned the 18th Corps Joint Movement Control Center (JMCC) in support of the mission.
Father Jean Bertrand Aristide returned to Haiti in October of 1994 after 3 years of forced exile.[3] Operation Uphold Democracy officially ended on 31 March 1995 when it was replaced by the U.N. Mission in Haiti (UNMIH). U.S. President Bill Clinton and Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide presided over the change of authority ceremony. From the March 1995 until March 1996, 2,400 U.S. personnel from the original Operation Uphold Democracy remained as a support group commanded by UNMIH under a new operation called Operation New Horizons.[4] A large contingent of U.S. troops (USFORHAITI) participated as peacekeepers in the UNMIH until 1996 (and the U.S. forces commander was also the commander of the U.N. forces). U.N. forces under various mission names were in Haiti from 1995 through 2000. During the operation, one U.S. service member was killed by hostile fire. He was a U.S. special forces staff sergeant shot during a roadside check.
Three Argentine Navy corvettes of the Drummond class joined the mission to force the commercial embargo of Haiti.[5]

Rather, for feature/handling triggering. Say you want the sizing resolution of floats to go with the CSS2.0 instead of the CSS2.1 model, for instance? You could trigger it by any of these methods. Say you want backgrounds to attach according to CSS1 instead of CSS2? You could trigger it this way. Say you don't want version triggering browsers to apply a later CSS version selector, but want non-version-trigering browsers to do so - you could do that. This would put a serious limit on the CSS parser, though - it needs to know what properties belong with what version, and whether the handling differs. Suggested mechanisms 1 & 2 would both be parsed as whatever version the browser supports if it doesn't support the version triggering. Suggested mechanism 3 would hide the contents from non-version-triggering browsers, thus giving the possibility of both exlusion and inclusion of properties and rules depending on the version supported and the support for the version triggering mechanism.. So, I like it. -- David "liorean" Andersson ViewStyles, ViewScripts, SwitchStyles and GraphicsInfo bookmarklets: <http://liorean.web-graphics.com/> Hangouts: <http://codingforums.com/> <http://yourmusicforums.com/>Received on Thursday, 25 March 2004 19:59:47 UTC

I've seen the following trip up a couple people when trying to manage an OCS 2007 R2 server installed on Windows 2008 remotely.
The solution is simple. You need to allow Remote Administration in the Windows Firewall on your OCS 2007 R2 servers.
Once you do that, you'll be able to manage them remotely.

One day John was complaining to his friend "my elbow hurts. I better
see a doctor". His friend said, Don't do that. There is a computer in
the drug store that can diagnose anything. It's quicker and cheaper
than visiting a doctor. Simply put a urine sample in the machine and
it will diagnose your problem and tell you what to do about it. It
only costs $10.00.
John figured he had nothing to lose so he filled a jar with a urine
sample. He went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in
the sample and deposited $10.00. The computer started to make a weird
nose and various lights began to flash. After a brief pause, a small
slip of paper printed. It said:
You have tennis elbow.
Soak your arm in warm water,
avoid heavy labor,
it will be better in two weeks.
Later that evening, while thinking how amazing that computer was, John
began to wonder if it could be fooled. He decided to give it a try.
He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from
his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masterbated into the brew.
He went back to the drug store, poured the sample into the machine and
deposited $10.00. The machine again made the usual noise and printed out
the following analysis:
Your water is hard,
get a softener.
Your dog has worms,
get him shots.
Your daughter is using cocaine,
get her into a rehab clinic.
Your wife is pregnant,
it's not yours, get a lawyer.
If you don't stop jerking off,
your tennis elbow will never get better! But we doubt facebook will share anything more on this

There is a special tone reserved for the bio-pic of some major historical figure. Such films tend to be stately, respectful, almost in awe of their subject. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a textbook example of the genre. Despite the obligatory disclaimer that it will show us the hero as we have never seen him before, there is nothing in this film to force a reassessment of Nelson Mandela, his personality or achievements.
Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982) is probably the gold standard for such films, and British director, Justin Chadwick, has pitched Mandela in a very similar vein. As a scriptwriter he has employed William Nicholson, who has worked with Attenborough and knows how to squeeze a life's story into a span of 2-3 hours.
Perhaps the single most important ingredient for success is an outstanding actor in the title role. Ben Kingsley produced the performance of his life as Gandhi, and Idris Elba does the same as Mandela. Elba is the same height as Mandela but doesn't resemble him physically. The strength of his performance comes from his mastery of Mandela's manner of speaking, and the sense of conviction he brings to the part.
It's the kind of role that can propell an actor into the top tier of stardom. The same applies, to a lesser extent, to Naomie Harris, as Winnie Mandela. It's a big step-up from being the James Bond dollybird in Skyfall (2012).
The movie takes us from Mandela's childhood in a Xhosa village to his early career as a lawyer, and maturity as a political activist. We follows his anti-apartheid activities; his trial and long years of imprisonment; and his final ascent to power as leader of a democratic South Africa.
There are very few aspects of this story that provide any surprises. The first 'shock horror' discovery is that Mandela had an eye for the girls. This culminated in his affair with Winnie Madikizela, who became his second wife in 1958. By this stage his marriage with his first wife, Evelyn, had already broken down – a casualty of his extramarital adventures and the pressures of an activist's existence.
The other faintly controversial observation is that, unlike Gandhi, Mandela did not renounce the use of violence. On the contrary, he felt compelled to participate in acts of sabotage and terrorism when it became clear the white government would respond to dissent in the most brutal manner. The flashpoint was the Sharpeville massacre of 21 March 1960, in which the police fired on an unarmed crowd of 5,000 to 7,000 protestors, killing 69 people.
One awaits the Sharpeville incident in this film, aware of its significance as a catalyst for South Africa's political isolation. It drew a resolution from the United Nations Security Council condemning the apartheid system, and led to the foundation of at least two armed resistance groups.
This sense of inevitability is an unavoidable problem in the big bio-pic. We always know what's going to happen so the only interest lies in how the story is told. With Mandela's arrest and trial in 1962 we are brought up hard against one of the political highlights of the story, but it is a scenario to put any director to the test. During proceedings Mandela made an acclaimed three hour speech. In the movie we get little more than the last paragraph, in which he calls for a democratic and free society and ends with the words: "it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
Then we have the problem of the 27 years in prison that followed the trial. Chadwick's solution is to give a detailed account of the brutal conditions that confronted Mandela and his comrades when they arrived at the Rodden Island penitentiary. From this point the years slip by quickly, with Mandela getting progressively greyer. In the outside world the violence is escalating, with Winnie now in the forefront of the armed struggle, growing more estranged from her husband. He becomes a kind of sage while she resembles a member of the Black Panthers.
There can be no doubt that Mandela is one of the great political figures of the twentieth century. The problem for a film-maker is how to convey that sense of greatness without falling for all the bombastic, sentimental clichés that Hollywood has indulged for generations.
Mandela's most remarkable achievement may have been to prevent a bloodbath when majority rule was finally accomplished. There were so many scars, so many injustices, so many scores to settle that only someone who had suffered as much as Mandela could exercise the moral authority required to quell the rising tide of violence. He argued that instead of seeking revenge, the citizens of the new South Africa had to demonstrate their moral superiority to the barbarous regime they had deposed. He showed, contrary to every colonialist prejudice, that blacks could be more civilised than whites. In place of the firing squad there was the Truth Commission.
Mandela is an ambitious project for a director better known for TV work and a minor historical romance, The Other Boleyn Girl (2008). Although the film has the slightly ponderous feeling common to almost every major bio-pic it is a more successful proposition that I had anticipated. Mandela's image is already 'larger than life', and Chadwick adds no emphasis where none is required. If it is impossible to avoid sentimentality altogether this is because we are dealing with an emotional journey that engulfed a nation, and indeed, the world. Perhaps the corniest moment in the film is when the U2 song, Ordinary Love, swells up over the closing credits.
As a corollary the dreadful Bozo, sorry Bonzo, from U2, got to make a speech at this year's Grammies in which he announced that his feelings about Mandela were "personal, very very personal." In this world there are figures like Nelson Mandela whom history will forever celebrate, and those who grab every opportunity to celebrate themselves.

Santa Cruz council gives final OK for water rationing
Daily-use limits for residential customers begins May 1
By J.M. Brown, Santa Cruz Sentinel, 4/23/14
The Santa Cruz City Council unanimously affirmed Tuesday a February decision to enact water rationing for residential customers beginning May 1, thus finalizing the first mandatory cuts in nearly 25 years.
The Water Department seeks to trim overall consumption by 25 percent and may ask to deepen drought-driven restrictions in coming months depending on how well customers conserve and how much water is lost to evaporation at Loch Lomond Reservoir this summer.
The city hopes to keep the lake around the halfway mark by October, when it's historically possible to receive significant rain again. Without the impending restrictions, the reservoir would drop to a third of capacity, which would place the city in peril during a fourth consecutive dry year, said Toby Goddard, administrative services manager for the Water Department.
Runoff on the city's largest water supply source, the San Lorenzo River, is at historically low levels after rainfall reached just 43 percent of long-term averages. The river resembles what "it would ordinarily look like in August," Goddard said.
Beginning next month, single-family households will be allotted 249 gallons of water per day based on a four-person household, though customers can request more. Condominiums, apartment buildings and duplexes will get from 124 to 174 gallons per residence per day, depending on the number of units.
Consumption exceeding those limits by 10 percent will cost $25 per unit of water. Using more than 10 percent of a household's water budget will cost $50 per unit of water.
"Customers won't feel the true affect from rationing until they receive a utility bill," Goddard said.
In a talk with the Democratic Women's Club of Santa Cruz County earlier Tuesday, Water Director Rosemary Menard said the point of rationing is not revenue generation. She told an audience of about 50 that the first violation for excess use can be forgiven if residents attend "water school," a weekly three-hour class akin to traffic school designed to educate on conservation.
"We don't need your money," she said. "We want you to save the water."
Menard and Kim Adamson, general manager of the neighboring Soquel Creek Water District, fielded a number of questions during the gathering, including the potential for direct reuse of recycled water, which the state has yet to approve. A citizen-led Water Supply Advisory Committee will meet for the first time next week to begin exploring such options amid a pause in the city's joint plans with the district to construct a seawater desalination plant.
"We are seeing much less support for recycled water, and we have very high support for desal," Adamson said of recent customer polling within her district, which faces overdraft in the groundwater basin. The district is considering a proposed regional desal project in Moss Landing or building its own plant, and in the meantime will initiate mandatory reductions this fall and in June will mull a moratorium on new hookups.
Santa Cruz resident Carol Fuller, a women's club leader, said Tuesday's talk reinforced that "nothing is easy and nothing is quick" when it comes to establishing a reliable water supply.
Adamson, who headed a water agency in Washington state, was appointed last year, and Menard, a former Nevada water official, took her post three months ago. Four of the county's water agencies are now run by women.

Very relevant notes from comrades in Venezeula on their pre-insurrectionary moment.
"There is a desire for change in the air, and there are as many proposals as there are mobilized people… However, and this must be stressed, the relationship between the people and political parties has changed, and there is no longer the security that existed before, under the blackmail of 'anti-Chavista unity'. If there are no factors that can maintain and increase this tension until it explodes, the politicians will be able to recover their leading roles."

We play togetherPosted by Everyday Healy on May 12, 2008
Wonder what have we done in this past Mother's Day? As my FIL had to come to Penang to attend a Malay friend's wedding, we decided to spend time together on this special day.
So, both my parents in law came to our place together with my 2 little niece and nephew. As usual, we ladies (my MIL, my mum and me) were talking. The children were playing on their own. It's good to see them playing together as they seldom meet. 😛
And, looks like little Elizabeth has learned to fight for own rights now! LOL!
Don't aim my baby, please… It's mine! 😯
This is mine! But, I want to play, please… Oh! Poor Justin "Koko".
Oh, I better quickly grab it and run away! So lucky! Elizabeth never come after me. 😛
As hubby finally came back from appointment, then we went out for dinner. So, there are 3 mothers together celebrating this simple mother's day with the 3 little toddlers and 2 daddies. 😛

Our last posting was pictures of our motorhome to help sell it. After 12 years of "full timing" the time has come to hang up the keys. We are grateful and for the years we played "gypsies"
We have so many wonderful memories. And are so lucky to have traveled so far and wide. Once we sell our Foretravel we hope to use our car or train or plane to keep moving when we feel the urge.
Since we last posted (these days we post more as a "diary" for us as well as sharing with friends ;o) there are memories we want to catch and record before they slip from our mind.
Our last post was about a short visit to Yosemite NP. Big Bend is our all time favorite NP, but Yosemite is more like family. Many a Sunday (when the kids were still young) we'd take off to spend a few hours in Yosemite Valley.
We sort of reenacted that little trick last summer when we took grandson Parker from Sonora (where we parked our Foretravel) to Yosemite.
Not content with that, we drove him over Tioga Pass (another favorite route), down to the Whoa Nellie Dellie (one of our all-time favorite places to eat in the Mobile gas station on Hwy 120 right before CA 395) and then up CA-395 and over Sonora Pass and back to Sonora. It was a day Parker recalls with amazement. Lots of car time for him but great sights to see.
We call it the "Full Treatment" ;o)
Last February we started 3 months in one of the most beautiful RV parks in the US: Park of the Sierras (SKP Park), just South of Coarsegold, CA on US-41
We left Coarsegold and headed back to the Bay Area (and the campground in Pleasanton, CA) to support our son Paul and daughter-in law Miriam care for Miriam's mother We've stayed at the Fairgrounds several times in the past, and were pleased at the improvements.
We've been friends with Miriam's parents for over 40 years. Before we went to Coarsegold, we'd spent several afternoons a week with Bill and Louise. We believe Louise was comfortable with our presence, and we were happy to help.
Louise's health went up and down, and we had some nice conversations with her during the time we spent with her. But slowly, slowly, her condition began to deteriorate, and we were told that her time here was drawing to a close. She was a good patient, and she seemed to appreciate all the back rubs, foot massages and our little acts of solace for her. Miriam and Paul were her mainstays, although Miriam's brother Joe came often during dinnertime and Joe was able to induce Louise to eat something. Another "son" visited nearly on a daily basis, and we knew JohnJohn was a visitor we were all happy to see. He was a foster child of Louise and Bill's about 20 years ago, and there was a special bond between JohnJohn and the family, so we all feel and appreciate that familial role he plays in our family. Then Paul learned that his only brother had a stroke and was in a rehabilitation house, not doing well. Paul flew to Ohio the next day and spent a few days with Ed and his wife, Jan.
Ed was glad to see Paul and did get better - slowly, day by day. Jan was able to get Ed home, and Ed continues to make progress slowly. Paul was glad he was able to spend time with his brother and sister-in-law.
One morning early, a phone call from Miriam who got us all moving quickly. Time was running out, and son Paul drove (flew?) us to the hospital in no time flat so we'd all be there for Louise.
As a little girl Kathleen remembers part of our prayers was a petition for a "happy death." I'm not sure why that prayer was part of our Morning Prayer ritual at school, but it was.
Kathleen was privileged to be present at a real "happy death" that morning. Louise knew we were all there. Bill was next to his wife of 51 years, and Miriam and Paul Jr, Joe and John John were all close by. Louise's grandchildren, Paul III, his girlfriend, Amanda and Juliana and her boyfriend, Georgie encircled her bed – so that we sort of formed a loving circle surrounding her bed.
We watched the life slowly go out of her eyes, and with gentle and loving words, she was escorted into another world. It happened softly and sweetly, all of us mentally lifting her up to begin her new journey into eternity. It was truly a scene of a "happy death." Louise died at 10:21 on May 29.
The family was grateful for Wisconsin relatives who flew to the Bay Area to be present for Mass of Resurrection celebrated at Corpus Christi church. The liturgy, during which her many friends bade her goodbye, was held early in the evening. The Mass was followed by a time for visitors to enjoy and chat with one another in the parish hall, where we renewed friendship with many of the friends we shared over the years with Bill and Louise. A few days later the family met again to break bread together at a lovely meal.

Here's Kathy Ann, Gregg and Bill enjoying the delicious meal.
PaPa, Becky (on Christina's lap), Miriam, Michelle and Kathy Ann enjoy themselves too.
Then Kathleen's sister Barbara and her husband Bill drove from Nashville, TN to Sacramento, bringing the household effects of a good friend from TN to CA. We met them at the friend's house then drove over to the hospital where their good friend, Bob, was recuperating.
The following morning Bill, Barbara and the two of us paid a visit to the famous Train Museum located in "Old Town" Sacramento. We enjoy visiting the museum and they did, too. This is a mural of he arduous work done on digging tunnels by the Chinese laborers. What a gigantic job they did!
After a quick go around at the museum we drove Bill to the airport for his return to TN. We were sorry to say goodbye to our brother-in-law. However, we were fortunate to have Barbara stick around for a few days.
Sisters, Kathleen and Barbara
Not many days later the two of us made a big decision. We'd planned to move into one of our apartments. However, we'd not made any serious plans at changing our life style so quickly or so dramatically. "Let's drive down to Nacogdoches, Texas where we can get a few things done to the motor home and maybe even sell it." Sez Mr Smith.
"OK" replies Kathleen, andin a very few days we packed up what we can use once we move into the apartment, keep what we feel we will need for the trip to Texas and back, and off we were! I am talking about 6 days travel California to Nacogdoches, Texas! Each time we pass the windmills along the Altamont Pass, it seems the windmill population keeps growing!
Driving down I-5 is always an experience – lots of trucks and cars keep driver and "co-pilot" awake and sometimes nervous! But the day was amazing the day we began! No one who's traveled on I-5 will believe this, but it was like an old fashioned Sunday drive! Few trucks and fewer cars. Can we say it was a "piece of cake?" It was!
We actually enjoyed the drive all the way to CA 223 where we turned east and went through the charming town of Arvin and on to the connection to CA-58 that took us all the way to Barstow where, after 354 miles, we spent the night at the Shady Lane RV Park. We've stopped there before, and enjoy the banter with the owners (two brothers)
The following morning we headed east again. We tried to follow the map given us by Shady Lane owners, but misread it, and realized we were going the wrong way! Paul was able to make a legal U-Turn, and in short order we were through Barstow and flying down CA-247 to Lucerne Valley and eventually Yucca Valley. Route 247 is usually a fairly quiet road, and one we've taken many times. We noticed a few more trucks on the road, but it was still a pleasant trip to Yucca Valley where we picked up CA-62 down to the Palm Springs area and I-10. For anyone who loves hills, the ride on CA-62 between Yucca Valley and Palm Springs is a series of hair-raising thrills! This writer is always grateful to descend this road safely. It is a ride not to be missed.
I-10 is always a road race – so many cars and trucks. Today was not an exception, but we stayed in the right lane and were okay with the traffic. We did miss the sign to the Flying J (where we purchase our diesel) but we think there was only a Flying J sign that read, "stop now" --- and there was no off ramp, so we did not "stop now." We knew we'd come up to many more stations before we grew too low on fuel, so we continued east…through Blythe and on past Quartzsite (where we'd spent many good times camping with Foretravel friends.)
We crossed into Arizona and decided to go to Benson (our old camping ground for several years.) There are several campgrounds in Benson where we stayed in past trips. However, we elected to spend our time in Benson at the Escapee RV Park. We visited this nice park several times in the past but never stayed overnight. Since our last visit to the park, much has been done by way of improvements. Such wide roads and more park models that we remember from 5 years ago! On this final trip driving the motor home, we thought that stopping at an Escapee Park was in order. Lucky for us, they had one pull through long enough for a 40-footer!
I was feeling I needed a shower, and the building where we believed the showers were, was close to our parked motorhome. So off I went to the Club House – only to learn on arrival there, that the showers were down at the office. It was still light out and the office didn't seem too far away. Had I turned in the right direction, I would have reached the showers in 5 minutes or so. Instead I turned the wrong way and ended up walking almost the entire perimeter of the park! Once I found it, I wondered if Paul was wondering why I was gone so long, but, I reasoned, he's probably napping! So without further ado, I enjoyed a wonderful shower. As I left the office area and began walking in the correct direction, a golf cart with 3 people in it drove up and offered to give me a "lift." They'd seen my wandering along on the side of the park not close to the office. They suspected I was new and lost. I accepted their gracious invitation and was told they had seen me earlier and figured I was lost. How friendly and helpful they were! (That's one reason why we love the Escapee Family – friendly and helpful people!) They deposited me at our motor home and wished us well. We have belonged to the SKP (Escapee) organization since 2003 and have much affection for all Escapee members and have visited and stayed at most all of the SKP parks in the US.
One of the true boasts of the folks at this SKP Park is that one can almost always enjoy a great sunset. Here's the shot I took with my little camera…. It was a beautiful sunset though!
The following morning we bade farewell to Saguaro Co-Op. This was our final visit at an SKP Park, and we were glad it was this one.
Still on I-10 we marveled again at the light traffic. We drove along sights at which, in earlier times, we had stopped and enjoyed ourselves. What a nostalgic feeling! As we neared Deming, NM and headed out of New Mexico and into Texas, we discussed whether we wanted to take the "mountain route" that goes around El Paso (but takes longer) or, with the light traffic, ought we to keep on I-10?
We opted for going the shorter way – on I-10. Ha! Well actually, it wasn't "Ha" at all. It was a 'Zoo" – it was a "race track" – it was going through a nightmarish area of "road construction"
Our idea turned out to be a poor choice, but it was too late to turn around and try the mountain pass --- reasoning that it too, was probably full of traffic trying to evade I-10 around El Paso! So we drove on. No, Paul drove on. I prayed, worried, and grew 2 years older during that trip through El Paso! What a relief to be on the outskirts of the city where we began to see less and less traffic. We still drove along with more cars and truck than we did earlier in the day, and were ever so grateful that the horror of El Paso was past!
We had several destinations in mind for today's adventure, and ended up going driving the farthest than we had envisioned! Paul managed to go 600 miles before stopping at Pecos, TX. Here we found a most unusual RV park. It was not easy to find the Park, but we finally did, and to our surprise, we found it was an SKP park! Neither of us has ever heard about this place, and to be honest, it doesn't look like a typical SKP park. It is both a commercial park and an Escapee Park. The owners were in the office when we arrived and it must be said that they were Escapees! We were warmly welcomed and given all the information they had. We found our site (a pull through suitable for our 40' motor home and Honda!) Looking around the park, it was clear that many of the residents had trucks on which we saw heavy tools and equipment. We didn't have an opportunity to meet anyone. Paul was "dead" from his long drive, and I had more packing and cleaning to do. I suspect some SKPers, who are used to SKP members "only" at their parks. However, the owners of this park have been members since 1998 and when they first began, I suppose it was more like an SKP park. As the needs, in this area, for more and larger parks developed, and the owners were able to add acreage to the park, then it changed. However, for us, receiving the traditional warm hug from the owners along with their gracious welcome, we felt lucky to find this rare and unique SKP Park!
The following morning we were up and out on the way! Someone on the Foretravel Forum had posted the route they took from the west to Nacogdoches. Paul thinks it was the "fastest" route. So we took it. Yes, on our final log to Nacogdoches, we took the fastest route. And guess what? El Paso was a kid's game to going through Dallas (IMHO.) I was not the "brave" one this time. I moved out of the passenger seat and sat behind the driver until my conscience got the better of me, and I sat on the passenger side in the passenger seat (to my horror …lost another two years of my life, and maybe more.) By the time we reached 259, that took us to Henderson, the traffic had lessened. We both set our phone's navigation systems to see how much they agree or disagree. Today they disagreed. My phone directed us to stay on 259 and continue south onto 59 (a straight shot) and right to Xtreme Paints where we would spend a week and a day. Paul's navigation directed us to take the circumferential west and south around the town and then go east a bit to where 59 take motorists north to Xtreme! We saved time by going my phone's way! And indeed, what a relief it was to see the much-respected plant. The owners had a spot reserved for us so we were able to have electricity right away!
Several years ago, when we owned a 36' Foretravel, we had Xtreme do a full body paint job. What a fantastic job they did and we felt and looked as though we were driving a new Foretravel. Others made many comments on what a beautiful rig we had. Why did we sell it? Well, that's another story...
Our reason for stopping at Xtreme this year was to have some minor repair done to the back and side of the rig and to have the rear ladder fixed/replaced. Here's a picture of the side of the rig being made to look like new.
See the new ladder!
And here's the finished rig. Looking great!
We surely appreciated the hospitality offered by Jennifer and James Stallings.
Once the rig was finished at Xtreme, we drove it over to Bernd's place where new air conditioner units were installed and a few minor adjustments were completed.
Bernd has very generously offered to allow us to park our motor home on his business property. There's a "For Sale" sign in the front window and we hope that folks will stop to see the rig. She is road ready and looking for a new owner.
Paul has a cystoscopy waiting for him in the Bay Area, so we need to "get on the road" with our little Honda. What a difference in crossing the country sans the motor home. We will miss her, having been "full timers" for 12 years. We look back on those years with much appreciation and fondness. It's been a great ride, but we know other vistas will open and new adventures await! (written on July 3rd – posted on July 28!)

FOXBOROUGH -- Rodney Harrison's face betrayed no emotion, which was reason for euphoria. The last time he'd officially stepped on an NFL gridiron -- or been carted off one -- he had been a portrait of agony. (Full article: 546 words)

About the Project
Thoughts of a Stranger is a project I started that co-exists with the webseries Brett & Abbey. In mid 2017 Brett & Abbey began vlogging to try to make sense of the events that happen in their lives. Brett's vlogs feature voice overs that needed to be accompanied by music, so I thought… Why not record an original instrumental song once a week and release them as an album! So that's what I'm doing! There's no limit to how long or short this album is going to be. The only rule is: I have to release a song a week. I hope you enjoy what I come up with, because I'm very excited about this new project!

In case you didn't know, I simply love vintage and antique lace. It's so delicate, so feminine, so beautiful, and so inspiring! I found this lace at an antique mall for next to nothing. I couldn't pass it up not only for the price but because I have nothing like it. I have lots of project ideas but I'm a little bit afraid of using it. What if I ruin it and then it's gone!? I have to get past this fear because my muse is whispering in my ear. If I ignore her, she might leave again!
This beautiful lace came from one of my favorite Etsy shops, Strange Notions. Kathy, the shop owner, also included some vintage hankies, buttons, and a book of sweet embroidery transfers. Talk about happy mail!
I'm really hoping to start on a project this week. It's time. :)

When conducting any final, ideally the scores from each shot should be announced as soon as the last shot is fired. At the very least, shots should be announced within a very short time period. Due to the time it takes to scan and score the targets, we believe it is better to have the range officer (or announcer) give an estimated score value as the targets are turned in, then scored by Orion during the next shot. The procedure goes as follows. It assumes you are shooting one shot per bull.

Hello there gurls here is my Benefit Coralista Blush Review!
All of benefits powder blushes and bronzer's have excellent pigmentation and they always look beautiful on the skin and they are soft and easily blended to give a natural finish because they don't look like they are just sitting on top of the skin. This blush gives a gorgeous flush of healthy colour and gives the cheeks that natural dewy glow that most of us crave. I can imagine getting lots of use out of this during the summer.
I think this blush would suit all complexions but those with paler skin would need to go light with this because you only need to dab the brush into this to achieve the full pigmentation. This blush would look lovely with a tan or used together with a bronzer.
I cant wait to start wearing this in the summer!
What's your favourite summer blush?
