More Details
Available only from Stromberg Carburetor. A brand new carburetor with Stromberg on one side. A big 97 on the other. And on this model, a specially developed fitting to provide 'ported vacuum' for your modern vacuum advance distributor.
Please note: 'Ported vacuum' is taken from just above the throttle plate and therefore provides no additional advance at idle or higher revs - only at light load/part throttle conditions (cruising). Please check your distributor specification. Simple ported vacuum is not compatible with distributors designed and tuned to work with manifold vacuum. And not with the 1949-53 Ford flathead Loadamatic distributor, which has no static mechanical advance and needs a special, compatible carburetor.
In our part throttle/light load dyno tests, we set the RPM at 1800 and locked the throttle position with the vacuum advance disconnected. Connecting it raised the RPM to 2000 and the torque by 3 to 4ft-lbs. The exhaust sound changed considerably, making it obvious that the engine appreciated the extra timing, and throttle response was noticeably better.
The ported vacuum 97 base is also available separately if you already have a suitable Stromberg 97. See part No. 9514-VP, under Service & Restoration parts.
Here are the highlights:
Super-accurate pressure die-castings from new dies, CNC-machined for a blue-print parts fit. So no oversize screw threads. No mystery parts from previous rebuilds. No problems.
An early style cast iron base with stock size - not second-best oversize - throttle shaft. Parkerized and black lacquered just like they used to be.
Brass ported vacuum fitting hidden in behind the kicker linkage can be blanked off and plugged with set screw provided.
A reinforced air horn casting with extra material around the float bowl lid to eliminate warping and leaks.
Stock original (sea level) Stromberg jetting – 0.045 main jets and a Number 65 power valve.
162cfm out of the box (independently verified) measured at 1.5inch Hg (same as they measure 4-bbl carbs).
A new brass float, made in USA on original Stromberg dies.
A specially developed S-Jet twin-ball inlet valve.
Modern, high-tech, reinforced gaskets. Sorry, no leaks.
Stainless steel linkage throughout. Who needs rust? Not us. Our springs are stainless. So is the accelerator pump rod, the throttle linkage, choke plate, lever and more.
Beautiful investment cast stainless steel throttle and accelerator pump levers.
Correct pale chromate zinc treatment using the original Ford Service Bulletin process.
Original-style riveted throttle and choke shafts.
Extensive dyno and road tests have proved that it matches or exceeds original spec.
Also available with cable choke and/or LZ-push throttle options - to special order.
Remember, like any carburetor, the Genuine Stromberg 97 needs proper installation and tuning for optimum performance. Every 97 comes with full installation instructions and further help is available at the Stromberg online Tech Center. Please remember to set your timing with the ported vacuum temporarily disconnected.
Note: Original hand throttle parts are not included. If you need them, email us, as we can probably find you good used parts.

The Passion of Patrick MacNeill (The MacNeills, #1)
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
"A former Marine fighter pilot battling to help his young son recover from burns suffered in the accident that killed his wife finds new life when he meets a beautiful new surgeon. This is the kind of book every reader hopes to find: full of wonderful characters, exciting passion and tender love. A joy, indeed." –RT Book Reviews

Golden Heart Finalist
Dedicated burn surgeon Kate Sinclair shields her tender heart behind a white coat and a coolly professional manner. But something about the little patient the nurses dub "Iron Man" and his vital flyboy father challenges her as a doctor and a woman.
Since the car crash that killed his wife and almost took his son, pilot Patrick MacNeill's life has revolved around his little boy. No one—no woman and certainly no interfering doctor—can intrude on their bond, forged in love and pain.
When little Jack's care brings these two together, it ignites a passion they can't ignore. But their growing involvement threatens Patrick's emotional barriers and Kate's professional future. With so much at stake, will she trust her judgment...or her heart?

Cursing ruined an otherwise decent story.
A strong, Alpha hero with an equally strong heroine passionately working together to help the hero's young son, who has been seriously burned in an auto accident. Kate is a driven surgeon who doesn't have time for love and Patrick's sole focus is his son, but in the course of caring for the boy's injuries, they come together to find a life and love with each other. Based on a true story, "The Passion of Patrick MacNeill" was my introduction to Virginia Kantra's books and to this day, remains one of my favorite books of all time. I can't count the number of times I've re-read this story!! Virginia has a tremendous gift writing relationships and family dynamics – she always pulls me into the story with lush, believable characters and powerful, intense feelings. And, honestly, if you don't have a lump in your throat and/or tears in your eyes at the prologue of this book, you have NO soul!!
A hero meets his match! Virginia Kantra's The Passion of Patrick MacNeill is a lyrical, heartwarming, and divine story. Marine hero, Patrick MacNeill struggles with trying to make right his son's life; after the child suffers burn injuries from accident that also claims the life of the child's mother and Patrick's. Patrick is used to doing things his way. Enter surgeon Dr. Kate Sinclair, passionate, strong; and confident in her advocacy for her patients. She's always depended on herself. She too is a "fixer" of all things. When these two clash over Patrick's son's treatment sparks fly – especially, as they try to figure out a way forward to a real, happy ever after. Add in two meddling and hunky brothers and a sweet, lovable, and rough-and-tumble little boy – and it's magic as only Virginia Kantra can weave! Keep the tissues close by. This story is a keeper.
This book should have been called the indecision of patrick macneil or the insecurity of kate sinclair. Calling it the passion of.....makes one belive it will be passionate and disappoints one when it is not. I felt like the story drags character development felt drug out and overly dramatic. By the end I didn't care if Kate and Patrick got together anymore I just wanted them to hurry up and do it so the book would be over.
I got this book for free and desided to read it to get it off my nook, well I couldn't put the book down or delete it from my nook. I liked the story and the characters. I will buy the others in the series.
The author, Virginia Kantra, builds quite a nice story with a unique Romance triangle-- doctor/patient/patient's parent -- That loses some of its believeability, but not it's believeableness, along the way. But aside from that, all facets are used to create a most interesting 190 page of entertainment ... until the reader gets to the conclusion which wraps up so quickly, I thought I had skipped past three or four pages. That was disappointing, although it was the right conclusion for an otherwise very nice story. Liked it very much.
I enjoyed the development of the characters. The way they found each other and their hearts. This is no cliff hanger!!
This was an okay novel. Not much suspense to really get me iinto it. The author spent far too much time getting into gooey and mushy detail about eroticism of her fickle feelings. There really wasnt much of a plot to the story. 217 pages
You can't go wrong with a Virginia Kantra book. If you missed this series the first time around, jump on it this time. You won't be sorry!
Even though my paper copy of this book is with all my treasured keepers, I still pounced on it as soon as it was released as an ebook. This book gave me a respite when I was going through a very tough time. It's well-written, thoughtful and moving. I'm pretty sure Virginia Kantra went on my auto-buy list in the strength of this book alone. (If not, it was after the next book. She remains an author I buy on name alone.)
The Passion of Patrick McNeill is an amazing story that's at times heart-wrenching, often heart-warming & touches the soul. I've lost count of how many times I've read this book. It NEVER, ever gets old. Beautifully written, with wonderful characters, The Passion of Patrick McNeill is everything a romance novel should be - and more! Don't miss this one but beware - the prologue will leave you in tears; have tissues at hand!
Kantra has a lush writing style that I really admire and characters who are well-rounded and believable. Not to mention that her MacNeill heroes are luscious enough to eat.
This is a really great story, a must read.
Good story but predictable romance.
I liked the book. It was a little slow but a good book
What a series! Love how dedicated Patrick was to his son. Reading about Kate and Patrick's second chance at love - pure bliss! My new favorite author
I really enjoyed this book & I cried some also. I read this was based a true story & I'm sure it is. I admire doctors & nurses that could deal with burn patients. I did think it ended a little abruptly & could have used an epilogue. 197 pages. GJRA
Great reading
I enjoyed this story about a little boy who had been in a car accident as a baby and was badly burned. His father, Patrick, had cared for him, neglecting his own life for years. When young Jack connected with burn surgeon, Dr. Kate Sinclair, and she offered a different opinion on Jack's treatment, Patrick admired her skills. While Kate was an exceptional surgeon, her personal life sucked. She grew up with a beautiful sister so she always felt unattractive. Between that and having one relationship with a jerk made her swear off relationships. After losing his wife in the car accident, Patrick thought of nothing but his son's recovery. He never even considered a relationship. This could have been a sad story but it wasn't. With the help of a little boy, this couple found hope and love.
Author VIRGINIA KANTRA, sweeps you into a love story that is filled with emparhy and passion and even himor.this talented writer brings her characters to life. L.M.A.
Loved this book.
This has been one of my best reads for a while and to think I had it in my library the hold time. Anyway great read heartfelt highly recommend
Look forward to next book.
Really Enjoyed!
This sounds like a very great book to read but i think i will cry just by reading it :(

These whimsical lights by Lieux have hooked me. Line and sinker.
The delicate twists and seemingly fragile turns of steel concoct a magical little piece of constructed perfection. Not to mention the woodland menagerie that's along for the ride.
I'm giddy with love over these lights, but what makes me even giddier is imagining that somewhere in the world there is one of these lamps on a tiny person's bedside table.
Please, someone write to me and tell me that it's true.

Peter from MX-5 Unleashed and his DIY Autocross Miata
Torco products used: Engine: SR-5R 20w50 • Trans and Diff: SGO 75w90 Other: Brake Cleaner, PL-50, and Accelerator
MX5 Unleashed Website • Cool Car T-shirts Website • Cool Car Video Website
Since the car was finished, we have been attending Autocross meets. The drive train is doing fantastic on Torco fluids! The engine is strong, though we wish the turbo lag was not as noticeable. In the future, we may switch to an air-to-water intercooler to shorten the intake. The transmission and rear-end are as smooth as butter.
We are thinking about putting on a thicker sway bar or an adjustable one. The car feels like it leans a bit too much in the front on turns, making the car especially wobbly on the slalom sections.
Also, you can see a quick video of one of the runs that did not go so well.
Thanks Torco for all the support!

Fly & Climb Combo
Soar down the World's Most Spectacular Ziplines then float through Whistler's rainforest canopy on a treetop adventure course packed with challenge and discovery. The Fly & Climb Combo includes both Superfly Ziplines and The Treetop Adventure Course for those who want to see the forest from an elevated perspective.
Prepare for Takeoff
Our longest lines are 1.3 km loooooooooooooooooooooooooong.
(That's the longest in Canada.)
(That's the longest in Canada.)
Zipline & Treetop tours will run rain or shine.
We provide a complimentary shuttle service from Whistler Village, Fairmont Chateau and the Four Seasons Hotel.
Kids must be 7 years old and all guests must weigh between 60-250 lbs (27-113 kgs). Treetops participants must be able to reach 180cm / 5' 11".
Kids aged 7-11 must be supervised by an individual adult at all times. Youth aged 12-15 must have adult supervision, either from the trees or the ground.
A safer way to fly.
While we'll never have the privilege of knowing, we'd like to think the early pioneers of aviation would have loved to give Superfly a go.
Superfly is located on Cougar Mountain, just 8 minutes north of Whistler Village.
Respect the Eagles.
Before Superfly came along, the eagles were the kings of the sky. So please refrain from gloating as you whip past at speeds up to 102km/h. It hurts their feelings.
Waivers must be signed prior to tour.


text: Altan 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2010 I'm sure this has happened to many of you, but you're going about your day, say walking along a foot path, and you happen to see a coin on the ground. What would you do? (Or what have you done?) From the very few times that I've happened to come across a random coin on the ground, I end up picking it up and putting it in my wallet (then again it depends how much it is, if it's 5cents I won't bother, a 50c, dollar or $2 coin, I would). Now I'm not sure if this topic has already been discussed (I did a quick search which didn't return anything directly related), but is this immoral? Have I stolen someone elses money? Should I have left it there? But then again, someone else would have most likely taken it, so it would have been in my interest. Plus you can't exactly 'report' it to the police. I'm mainly talking about small sums of money that are just coins. But what if you were to find a large sum of money? I wouldn't take it, but rather report it to say the police(?).

A report from the first 'Informal-Informal' negotiations on Rio+20 draft text
Monday 18 June, 15.30 – 17.00
Room: T-9, Rio Centro
Climate change is a key global challenge and national, sub-national, and local actors are responding in the political, social, and economic spheres. Forests are a key part of the international mitigation agenda. Transformational change is required to realize the forest sector's mitigation potential through avoided deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). Dense webs of economic interests, political realities, and local needs come to the forefront as countries become "ready for REDD+" and start to develop national REDD+ strategies and policies.
For the past four years, CIFOR and partners have been conducting a Global Comparative Study on REDD+ on policy development and the early stages of implementation. In this side event we presented the results of this work that are pertinent to the objectives of the CSD and the development of a green economy.
Detailed programme
REDD+ offers the opportunity to transform the forest sector in a manner consistent with the vision of a green economy. However, following the decisions in Durban, there does not yet exist a policy environment capable of support robust growth of forest carbon markets, and REDD+ in the foreseeable future is likely to be funded mainly from bilateral/multilateral sources (partly as aid), smaller regional carbon markets, and voluntary efforts. As efforts around REDD+ intensify at the international level, global economic turbulence relegates attention to climate change further down on the list of national priorities. Contributing further to this relegation are food price spikes and land shortages. These also put pressure on forest conversion for food production, biofuels and valuable cash crops to spur economic development, even though the basis for these choices are in many ways not yet substantiated. As a consequence, REDD+ is getting off the ground more slowly than expected at the national level, but some countries are initiating reforms that were unthinkable pre-REDD+.
In this session we explored how REDD+ is shaping the forest sector for a green economy, and also how REDD+ is being shaped by institutional path dependencies, interests, ideas and the power and politics of data and information.

CSA stands for community-supported agriculture.
This partnership is mutually beneficial and rewarding method for you to directly connect with our farm.
Our CSA members commit up front to buy meat shares that assist our farm with the capital we need to bring our animals from our fields to your kitchen.
Shares in our meat CSA are available through different packages and pricing tiers and can be purchased for three, six or twelve month periods.
Shares are available for purchase year round, and we offer four different starting points: January, April, July and October. You can join our year round meat CSA anytime for a pro-rated price assuming we have shares available.
Shares are pre-assembled at the farm and distributed at the farm or at designated drop off locations once a month. Please see pick up schedule page.
Our farm offers humanely raised, certified organic, grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, eggs and poultry. We focus on breeds that are known for their gourmet qualities and slow growth. They are superior in flavor and texture, leaving you with a tremendous dining experience and optimal nutrition.
Our sustainable and holistic approach is essential to building healthy thriving soils, animals and people that creates a symbiotic relationship.

Why Certified Organic?
Better health: Since organic food is not prepared using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it does not contain any traces of these strong chemicals and might not affect the human body.
Better taste: People strongly believe that organic food tastes better than non organic food. The prominent reason for this belief is that it is produced using organic means of production. Further organic food is often sold locally resulting in availability of fresh produce in the market.
Environment safety: As harmful chemicals are not used in organic farming, there is minimal soil, air and water pollution; thus ensuring a safe world for future generations to live in.

BINTULU: Individuals who waste their rubbish will be subject to immediate compound action under the Bintulu Development Authority (BDA) Anti-Litter Campaign, effective today.
The action is in accordance with the By-Law 18 (1) (f) The Local Authorities (Cleanliness) By Laws 1999, and BDA enforcement members will patrol from time to time to identified locations or any focal area of the person crowded.
Individuals who have been found to be in breach of the offense will be subject to a compound of RM15 under the relevant law or according to the rate and frequency of the offense.
BDA also takes a serious look at the case of grave offense involving illegal rubbish removal in Bintulu and a maximum penalty of RM1,000 will be imposed on any offender arrested or offenders may be prosecuted in court.
Any inquiries may be made at the Municipal Service Office (PERBINDA) at 086-332662 for sending short message service (SMS) to hotline at 013-8362277.
BDA's General Manager, Rodziah Morshidi said BDA spent unnecessary costs for cleaning work at all times and if the money was not used in that direction, it could carry out many other activities of social interaction with the community, including helping the poor and needy.
"The main reason why we did this walking event was to inform the community that we are serious about the anti-litter campaign and we will enforce the Clean Law 1999 beginning today.
"The hard work will be done by the BDA management to ensure that the key performance indicators (KPIs) for each compound and notice are resolved accordingly," she said when launching the Anti-Litter Campaign at Bintulu Sentral after the walk from Taman Tumbina, today.
Also present were Bintulu Resident Jack Aman Luat; Bintulu District Officer, Mataip Sayu; Chief Minister's Political Secretary, Soo Li Ching as well as senior deputy general manager and senior managers of BDA.
He said the BDA would charge or compound the individuals who dumped the garbage on the floor (not in the trash can) while ensuring that Bintulu's environment was at its best in the hope that such campaigns would create a community of concern and responsible for environmental hygiene.

Cowboys receiver Terrance Williams was challenged to a sprint outside XTC Cabaret in Dallas Monday morning ... and TMZ Sports has the crazy footage!!
Here's what we know -- T-Will was leaving the strip club around 5 AM Monday after a birthday party for a pal when his best friend started feeling all Usain Bolt and asked him to race!
Not only was Williams down for a little sprint action, he REALLY got into it -- ripping his shoes and shirt off to get comfortable.
Williams tells TMZ Sports the whole thing was in good fun -- and even though he SMOKED his pal, there was nothing but love between everyone.
Bottom line ... Williams will race anyone, any time, any place -- and win.

Since "Sons of Anarchy's" Charlie Hunnam dropped out as Christian Grey in the upcoming movie "Fifty Shades of Grey," the internet has been abuzz with who is going to take over the roll. Former "Once Upon a Time" lawman Jamie Dornan's name has been tossed around and now it sounds as though he might be in good shape for the role.
A source tells E! News that the Irish actor had an audition for the role and that he "had a really good read [Friday]."
The source adds that right now the studio and producers are more worrying about getting the part of Grey filled than they are about the actor having chemistry with co-star Dakota Johnson.
"The studio isn't worried about Dakota. They think she could handle whoever the guy is," says the source.
It seems like chemistry between the two leads would be a key part in casting the role, but apparently not.
Who do you think should play Christian Grey?

A battle is raging for the soul of America, and it is of critical interest to the survival of true freedom worldwide. Conceived in liberty, this nation of still-free men and women totters on the brink of surrendering its fundamental values of individual responsibility and self determination.
On the domestic side we exchange our privacy and personal autonomy for the chimerical security of a cradle-to-grave society; internationally we abdicate our ability to act autonomously in our national interest, and in accordance with our most cherished principles.
Why are we squandering the precious jewels of the greatest political experiment in human history? How, and by whom, are we being seduced into ceding that which we should treasure above all else our most fundamental liberties? Finally: what actions can thoughtful citizens take to protect and regain their personal freedoms?
In his most controversialbook, James Wasserman examines these urgent questions, presenting a cogent, intelligent, and often-alarming picture of our nation's situation both nationally and globally. This revealing collection of essays, the product of ten years of study and contemplation, is supplemented with lengthy appendices of the primary reference materials that underlie the author's bold assertions.
Readers will fearlessly explore the modern plague of collectivism, especially as embodied by the United Nations; learn the true political, historical, and spiritual roots of the September 11th attacks; revisit the Waco massacre without averting their glance; witness the cynical manipulations of the civilian disarmament movement; and be invited to contemplate the role of transcendent values in the battle to preserve and maintain personal freedoms. In terms that are lucid, passionate, balanced, scholarly, and often witty, the author shares his idealism, his outrage and his hope.
"They who would give up essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."
— Benjamin Franklin
I wonder if the brilliant Franklin could even have imagined our modern political discourse and its apparent goal of transforming society into both a nursery and a nursing home under the dual mantra of "Education and Healthcare." This collection of essays, written over the last ten years, attempts to presage the consequences of such a philosophy. It is written from the point of view of an unabashed individualist who believes the freest society will bring forth the greatest good for the greatest number. If you are looking for a government plan to save your life or ease your burden, you might wish to seek elsewhere.
The book is divided in two parts. The first half is a series of my essays on Liberty and Tyranny. The second half presents the reference material for my assertions in the first.
Steps Along the Way discusses some of the personal transformative experiences that brought about my own passionate interest in government and political ideology.
An Introduction to Politics is an overall look at the competing ideologies at work in the modern world. Statism and collectivism are defined and contrasted with libertarianism and individualism.
Waco: A Modern Tragedy highlights the quintessential modern embodiment of America's embrace of statism. Eighty-six people died in the name of a $200 tax stamp, while the world's media endlessly parroted its government-written script.
September 11, 2001 Remembered is a very topical follow up to my earlier book The Templars and the Assassins: The Militia of Heaven, which studied the concept of religious murder in both Islam and Christianity during the Crusades.
Pulling Liberty's Teeth further analyses the efforts of modern collectivists to overturn the unique freedoms on which America is based. It focuses on the campaign to strip American citizens of our unalienable right to defend life and property.
Goddesses, Guns and Guts presents my understanding of the need to embrace transcendent values as a means of enforcing the self disciple required to function as a free person. Its title implies its universality and open ended possibilities.
Suggested Actions offers some ideas to expand your personal freedom, communicate the importance of freedom to others, and asks some questions designed to stimulate thought beyond the confines of the modern media trance.
Liber Oz, a statement published by the English master Aleister Crowley during World War II, presents what I consider to be the ideal statement of the political rights of any individual courageous enough to live up to the responsibilities freedom entails.
The three appendices are divided between source materials of alternate political visions. I call appendix one
The Language of Freedom. It includes the most important American founding documents as well as all amendments to the Constitution.
Appendix two is called The Language of Tyranny and provides a comprehensive look at the U.N.'s founding materials and treaties. I guarantee you will be amazed at both the sheer hubris and banality of what you will be reading. I have typographically highlighted or lightly annotated the most egregious examples.
Appendix three is called The Language of Treason. It publishes a Kennedy administration policy paper presented by the president to the U.N. in 1962. It unambiguously exposes the goals of those who seek greater involvement with the U.N.
Finally I include a lightly annotated list of the 50 best books I recommend to any reader who cares to further his or her studies of these issues.
My fondest hope for this book is that the ideas expressed may find points of resonance within readers sufficient to encourage each to meditate on the personal value he or she places on freedom.
About the Author

My problem is that I am unable to directly look into people's eyes when I am trying to converse with them. Embarrassingly, I find my eyes tend to indirectly look at people's sexual parts, for example, breasts, thighs, penis and so on. This condition occurs with whoever I am having a conversation with, i.e., men, women, young, old, work colleagues friends and relatives. I have no real control over this and I have suffered from this condition for the past 8-9 years. It has generally got worse over time. I am 41 and in a stable and happy marriage and I do not believe that I have a sexual problem. I have, however, suffered from anxiety/stress/worry since I was about 28 or so. I am gradually bringing my anxiety under control but I would very much like to treat this problem as it would help treat my anxiety and enable me to socialize with people without fear. I would like to know what the problem is and how it can be treated. Thank you.

In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), in the chapter on Anxiety Disorders, there is a subcategory for "Social Phobia". Social phobia essentially involves painful symptoms of anxiety that occur in relation to particular social events. Common forms of social phobia have to do with anxiety around dating, or anxiety around public speaking, but there are many people who qualify for the diagnosis with a more general report of anxiety in diverse social interactions. I can't know that this is your specific problem, but I can say that it's something you might want to ask a psychologist or psychiatrist to consider when evaluating you for this difficulty. Your choice of visiting a psychologist or psychiatrist is significant in regard to the treatment for this problem. Social Phobia is very treatable in general, but a psychiatrist will most likely treat with anti-anxiety medications and a psychologist with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety. In choosing between the two, I'd say the average person is better off with CBT as it has no side-effects, uses no drugs you could get addicted to, and tends to have a longer lasting effect when the therapy ends. Good luck.

This article sent to me by a reader of my blog, speaks for itself aboout the state of the healthcare crisis in Venezuela
Oil money, where art thou? by Maritza Ramirez de Agena
in the oil rich Venezuela
have no medicine!� These were the words of a Norwegian reporter from TV2, who
visited Vargas Hospital
in Venezuela.
persistent reporter and his crew managed, after three days of resistance by
President Chavez�s bodyguards, to get close enough to the president during a
public event, where he promptly said: Mr. President �I visited a hospital with
a lack of medicine, I don�t understand that�.
Chavez�s response reflected clearly not only his incompetence; but also a
premeditated attempt to lie about the chaotic situation faced by the health
care institutions in Venezuela:
�I do not know to what you are referring� What hospital did you visit? Well,
what is important for you to know is that independently of what you found in a
particular site, my government has developed a strategic plan that has been
already put into place� you know, social programs� for example��
reporter proceeded to explain that the president started talking about
something else, and turned away allowing his bodyguards to finally push, the
TV2 Norwegian news crew, away from President Chavez.
Venezuelans, in my opinion, the vast majority of my fellow citizens, are in a
survival mode while the president spends millions of dollars on worldwide
tours; helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans (while Vargas�
�reconstruction� is still in blue print, if so) and financing the spread of his
�social revolution� in South and Central America. Meanwhile his own
people are dying in hospitals because of a lack of resources.
Not long
ago, my family called me from Venezuela
to inform me that one of my cousins was seriously ill. Apparently, she had a
brain aneurysm. To confirm the diagnosis, my cousin and her closest family
members had to make arrangements to travel to a different state, because the
hospital in Merida city, did not count with the medical equipment necessary to
perform the CT Angiography (a noninvasive way of seeing brain blood vessels), required
by the neurologist.
When my
cousin got the CT angiography, she returned to Merida where the neurologist confirmed she,
indeed, had a brain aneurysm. She had to undergo surgery. Unfortunately,
she could not be operated on immediately, as it is required in such critical
situations; she had to wait indefinitely — while hospitalized– for her turn
to use the surgery room. One, two and up to three months can pass by while a
Venezuelan citizen awaits for his/her chance to receive the appropriate medical
treatment because of lack of surgical materials, medicines, medical equipment
and ultimately the lack of availability of beds and surgical rooms due to high
weeks of anguish, frustration and desperation, my cousin went to the surgical
room. Unfortunately, my cousin�s operation had been delayed so long that
her brain blood vessel was under too much stress. She died of a brain
hemorrhage during the surgical procedure. She leaves behind two children and a
family who will never understand why in oil rich Venezuela, a country where there is
supposedly a �strategic plan� to save us all; she could not do anything but to
wait for her death on a hospital bed.
Chavez said to the TV2 reporter that his government had a �strategic plan�,
when asked why there were no medicines in the hospital the reported visited. I
am thinking, well, it is possible that the only two hospitals with lack of
medicine and resources are the �Hospital Universitario de Merida�, where my
cousin died, and the hospital visited by the TV2 reporter. The other
possibility is that the �strategic plan� conceived by the Chavez administration
has taken SIX YEARS to be designed and implemented� Six years to send the
hospitals around the country the necessary budget for them to function
properly. Let us see, there is no excuse uh? Skyrocketing oil prices! Would not
it be great if the president did a �tour� of the hospitals around the country,
instead of going to so many exotic places?
hospitals cannot satisfy the high demand of low- income citizens that cannot
afford private clinics. Is not this ironic? So much love for the poor,
proclaimed by Chavez, and they are the ones abandoned to their luck in the
�free Venezuelan hospitals�.
As the
doctor interviewed by the TV2 reporter said:
�Someone (else) is keeping the money,
because it is obvious the money is coming to Venezuela�.

Miami Springs family and friends celebrate transplant anniversary of 2-year-old girl
While many of us were observing Valentine's Day with our sweethearts last Saturday, there was a particularly heartfelt, different kind of celebration going on at Prince Field in Miami Springs, and all on account of one very special little girl.
On that morning, a crowd of nearly 50 people gathered for a balloon release to celebrate not only love, but also a young life given a second chance thanks to organ donation. It was the one-year anniversary of little Makinley Edwards' successful liver transplant.
The chilly, blustery weather did not deter friends, family and supporters from coming out for the cherubic 20-month-old who, in true toddler form, seemed blissfully unaware of the hullaballoo in her honor. Makinley ran and played throughout the park as bouquets of green helium-inflated balloons waved in the wind. Guests arrived in anticipation of their 11 a.m. release.
"Green is for liver cancer and organ donation," explained Nicki Edwards, Makinley's mother. "We wanted to do this as a way to say thanks to Makinley's donor and to raise awareness for organ donation."
It's been a harrowing roller coaster of a ride this past year and a half as Nicki and husband Mike have dealt with the crisis surrounding their daughter. Makinley was just 2 months old when she was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a form of pediatric liver cancer.
What followed was a whirlwind for the Edwards family, their lives thrust into a sudden frenzy of doctor visits, medical tests, and lots of questions. It was a foreign world to Nicki and Mike, third-generation Miami Springs residents who have always been healthy.
"She had many rounds of chemo," explained Mike Edwards, Makinley's father. "There were many failed surgeries to resect the tumor off the liver. In the end it was unsuccessful, with a lot of complications. By December 2013 she had already done four months of treatments. On Dec. 31 of that year, she was placed on the liver transplant list, and she was top priority. She was supposed to receive it within two or three days, but it ended up being about two months."
The long wait and their desperation to save their daughter prompted the Edwardses to seek out alternatives to a deceased donor and began looking into living donors, starting with themselves. But they ran into a hitch.
"We were surprised to learn that organ donations from living donors are no longer done in Florida," said Mike. "They quit doing them in South Florida because a while back there were lots of cadavers from people who had signed up for the organ donation program, so live donations weren't needed. But the number of (registered deceased) donors has dropped off considerably in recent years."
Mike attributes the reduction of deceased donors to a lack of public awareness.
"There is an organ donation program in Florida, but we just don't hear about it," Mike said. "Awareness is lacking in schools, churches and homes. It is still offered with the driver's license registration, but there's no education behind it.
"If a family is in the unfortunate situation of having a loved one on life support, you don't want this to be the first time you discuss this. You want this to be something you've already talked about. If people have a conversation about the importance of organ donation, it wouldn't be an out-of-the-ordinary thing during a time of stress."
Without the option of a local live organ transfer, they went to the nearest place that does offer this procedure — Pittsburgh. Just as Mike and Makinley were cleared for the procedure, the call they had been waiting for came: a liver was available in Miami for Makinley!
The transplant took place successfully Feb. 14, 2014 at Jackson Memorial Hospital. While there have been a few bumps in the road and weekly doctor visits to stay on top of any recurrence, Makinley appears overall to be the picture of health.
Looking at her today, one would never guess the journey she has been on in her short life. By all observations, she is a typical, active toddler with rosy cheeks and an inquisitive nature. Makinley has all of this today thanks to an organ donor.
"We don't know too many details about the donor," said Mike. "It was a 4-year-old drowning victim in another part of the country. This one child saved at least nine others in the Southeast part of the U.S. There are families at their wit's end right now waiting for that call."
So it was for this young donor that, after a few words of thanks and a shared prayer, a bevy of green, dancing balloons were released into a picture-perfect blue Florida sky. And a little girl, just like any other, ran, played and ate a cupcake.

My Monday was...typical to say the least. It's not always easy to motivate students on Mondays. Then after class, sweet Zoey handed me this poem she had written. She wanted me to have it. Right then and there my day turned right around. I hope you can find some joy in reading her words, too!
Smile my friends, for you have God's favor
Isn't that something to savor?
Thank the Lord for all He has done
But remember you aren't the only one.
Jesus was sent to save us all
So that we may raise and not fall.
Be courageous and remember His word
For He is our shepherd, and we are His herd.
Remember to always be kind
Keep this mission in your mind.
Remember the Lord
For He will be your shield and sword.
Smile my friends, for you have God's favor
Isn't that something you ought to savor?
Isn't the faith of our little ones amazing? What really gets me is that this was written on Zoey's "free time." Time that's hard to come by in 6th grade. {happy tear}
Hope you are having a sweet Monday!

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is backing President Barack Obama's call for limited military strikes in Syria.
"Secretary Clinton supports the President's effort to enlist the Congress in pursuing a strong and targeted response to the Assad regime's horrific use of chemical weapons," a Clinton aide said in an email. The aide's comments were first reported by Politico's Maggie Haberman.
The comments served as the Clinton camp's first on the developments in Syria, after she had been roundly criticized for not offering any comment on the situation recently.
As Secretary of State, Clinton advocated diplomatic efforts to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from office. And she also pushed a plan, along with Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, to arm and train Syrian rebels. That proposal was scuttled by the White House last year.

2014 CSN Boat of the Year: Flying Phantom
Image: Outteridge & MV by Nicolas Felix. Video: Billy Besson & Matthieu Vandame by Jeremie Eloy / Wanaii Films (If any doubt on why boat of the year just see this video...) In 2013 the Nacra 17 was definitely the boat of the year on the impact generated in the Multihull World plus the great lively performance the 17 provide to the new breed of Olympic Mixed crews.
Some asked why not the FP, and I remarked that it was still in the proto / pre poduction phase.
In May I had the chance to see and sail the FP at Carnac, seeing this boat flying along the Goldfish super tender was a truly surreal experience, in the sense of it was too perfect, too stable , too good be true, it looked like a smooth rendering.
Early in the year Americas Cup teams started to test the beast and later ordered a pair of FP of their own. Philippe Presti (Oracle sailing coach) sailed it at St Lunaire, and at Carnac it was Nathan Outteridge & Loick Peyron turn (Artemis). These guys had the experience to determine how good and stable the FP was, and just seeing Loick's face after his flight plus his comments were a reassurance of what we all have seen in videos and I was seeing live at the moment.
Then the most indicated and experienced pilot of them all, Nathan Outteridge (who else has AC72 /AC45 Flight
hours, a Moth World Title and a Master degree in A-Class foiling as he showed at Takapuna?) went for a sail, and his face also denoted a a huge grin. At the end of the day I jumped over the FP and with Nathan at the helm for a 24knots in 8-9?knots true wind.
If seeing it was great, flying the beast was out of the scale. But the surprise was how easy (in those perfect 8-9knots flat conditions) was to maintain the boat airborne. You may say that having Outteridge at the helm was the reason, but when some 12-14 years old kids got the helm , it was clear our impression was correct, it was literally too easy.
Long sitance Racing +17knots and waves it is another story of course.
The Flying Phantom project was conceived by Martin Fischer and Alex Udin in 2011 as a contender for Santander Olympic trials in parallel with a new F18, but the flying part of the project was not an 'easy ride', several design iterations and feedback with Groupama Team C-Class were needed to found the right foils to provide the rides described above.
The FP project first post , path and history since the first renders can be found right here in csn on the Flying Phantom Label.
Along the FP, Fischer designed a bigger sister 32' Flying Cat, the GC32, that had a low start and went to a similar design process phase to finally achieve some spectacular rides in 2014.
Today the FP is in full production schedule with Oralce & Artemis already sailing theirs.
So which is the best way to close 2014 for this project? Nothing better than getting the current Nr 1 Catsailor, Billy Besson , who will be flying and racing the FP in 2015 along F18 World Champ and frequent FP flyer Mathieu Vandame, and shoot best video so far of the new foiling beachcat breed.
The intention of Phantom International is to create a OD racing circuit , but is going to be interesting to see the production FP at the major long distance Raids like Carnac & Round Texel along the boat from Nacra that followed the FP, the Nacra 20FCS with plenty more hours & tuning in the bag for both camps.

Brewery Creates 'Walking Dead'-Inspired Beer Made With Real Brains – New York Daily News
Would you like some brains in your beer?
Philadelphia's Dock Street Brewing Company will release a zombie-friendly brew in honor of AMC's "The Walking Dead."
The American Pale Stout, which has been dubbed Dock Street Walker, is made with malted wheat, oats, flaked barley, cranberry and an extra-special ingredient – smoked goat brains.
"The pre-sparge-brain-addition provides this beer with intriguing, subtle smoke notes," the brewery says in a press release. "In true walker fashion, don't be surprised if its head doesn't hang around forever.
The beverage, which Dock Street Brewing Company is calling "quite possibly the smartest beer you'll ever drink," will be released on Sunday before "The Walking Dead" season finale.
This isn't the first time a brewery has crafted a beer in honor of an AMC drama.
Marble Brewery in Albuquerque, N.M., made two "Breaking Bad" brews in honor of the series' finale in August. However, those didn't contain any unusual show-related ingredients.

About ArcShapeR
Our Authors
Story-Arc Authors
The story-arc process gives our readers the chance to influence the creation of their favorite novels or short stories, via a unique polling process. The polls are broken down into segments, each of which is tied to a storyline. Once all the polls are complete, the story gets written. In this way, readers can help shape the stories they want to read, and writers can rest assured they are writing stories that will captivate their audience.
At ArcShapeR we are big supporters of self-publishing, so when an author places something in our marketplace they retain total control. No pre-order requirements. No mandatory draft submissions. No publishing agreements. All we ask is that any story-arc content be kept exclusively in our marketplace for the first three months.

- It helps me make sense of the world. I know a lot of people say that writers write to escape from reality. I don't know about you, but this is completely untrue in my case. I write to help make sense of reality. It gives me a new perspective on the world, it reminds me of the important parts of this life, and helps me see more clearly. I can be in a lot of pain, not understanding why life seems to suck so much. Then I'll write and all the pieces will fall together. It helps give me that "Oh, so that's what it does" moment. I'm not anywhere close to an 'enlightened soul,' but at least writing helps me from being a dark one.
- Problem solving. There's nothing more awesome than being able to fix a plot hole or get a story out of a rough spot. You know when you have those "ah-ha" moments while doing a cross word puzzle or trying to put together a piece of furniture? It's like that, only ten-fold and with a cherry on top.
- Being weird. I
have a desk littered with Little Mermaid toys, but that's just a writer's quirk,
Just...don't ask.
- Knowing that this is what I should be doing. Some people are called to be public speakers, to be doctors, to raise children. Me? I'm supposed to help people see God through story-telling. Nothing is cooler than having somebody leave me a comment or message me through Facebook, telling me that something I wrote helped and encouraged them. It's amazing. It helps me see that this is truly what I am meant to do. As someone who used to struggle with finding my purpose (something I got to blog about here), it's nice to know that writing is what I've been put here to do.
- Character creation. This is one of my absolute favorite parts of being a writer. I get to create characters that not only inspire and encourage others, but that I know will stay with me and continue to teach me long after I've stopped writing them.
- Research. As a fantasy writer who also dabbles in science fiction, I've gotten to do lots of interesting bits of research. For example: did you know that scientists have developed a new microparticle filled with oxygen that can be injected into the blood stream, keeping you alive even if you can't intake air into your lungs? Yeah, pretty cool, right? Also, fun fact: in Turkish mythology there is a creature called a Şüräle that lures its prey into a thicket and tickles it to death. Basically: a Turkish tickle monster. Now while this may or may not be useless information, I think it's pretty cool.
- The writing community. This is probably one of the biggest perks. The writing community is made up of the coolest people around. Everyone is very supportive, encouraging, and awesomely weird. See point two.
- Endless points of view. To me, there is never just one way to look at things. I can see the world through the eyes of many different people and understand why certain people act or say the things they do. This one goes both ways, since there are often points of view that you don't want to understand. But I think that being able to look at the world in such a different way has its advantages, especially when it comes to writing characters.
- Plotting. As much as I love the actual act of writing, plotting is a close second. It's fun to be able to start planning out a storyline and then sit back and watch the plot unfold.
- Feeling fulfilled. When I know that I've written something beautiful and true…well, that makes the ache in my hands and the moments of mental anguish all worth it. Even watching my word count go up and knowing that I'm getting closer and closer to achieving my goal is an awesome feeling.
- Reading. The fact that reading counts as inspiration, research, and forming potential marketing plans is awesome. I've always loved reading. Now I have extra reasons for doing so.
- Connecting with people. Writing on this blog has allowed me to connect with so many amazing people, both writers and non-writers. And writing my book has deepened already existing relationships by giving me a passion in common with my writer/reader friends. If I didn't write, I would have missed out on so many cool conversations and new friends.
- Imagination. Story writing doesn't always happen on paper. It's a continual process. I can appear to be doing absolutely nothing when I am, in fact, creating world and crafting stories. I might look like I'm washing dishes, but I'm actually fighting demons or swimming with mermaids. I'd hate to live in a world where a spoon is simply a spoon and not a wand. How depressing would that be?
- Cool supplies. Leather journals, awesome-looking pens, mini journals, voice recognition software, character journals. I have a thing for journals, in case you couldn't tell.
- Dreaming. Writing is my dream. Sure, being a published author is ambitious, especially for a young girl with Lyme disease. But by writing each day, I work slowly but surely towards my goal. I know I can make it because if writing has taught me anything, it's taught me how to fight for my dreams.
- Caroline Reinhart at Emoji's, Corn, and Survival Tips for Teens. She's been guest blogging here on a series called Tumor Troubles. Her blog is super cool, her story is amazing, and it's been awesome to get to know her and her writing style. Plus, she's a very sweet person and I think you'd all benefit from getting to know her.
- Miranda Kulig at Dreams and Dandelions. This girl has some seriously wonderful blog posts going on. It's impossible to leave her site without feeling happy and inspired. I think Abby already tagged her, but I'm tagging her again because I like her stuff.
- Alyssa Hollingsworth at Alyssa Hollingsworth. Fellow writer, geek, and spoonie, not only is she a talented writer, but one that inspires and encourages. She's been working on an anthology called Beautiful Lies that looks amazing.
- Emma at My Crazy Writing Obsession. Her blog is just getting off the ground and she has some good tips and tricks to offer, so go check it out.
- Rae Elliott at Barely Hare Blog. I recently got to do a guest post on her blog, a proud moment for me because my writing got to be side by side with her own amazing posts. Go read some of her writing. It's great!
- You at your blog. There are so many other talented bloggers I want to mention, but I don't have room. So if this is a tag you want to participate in, feel free. Just leave a comment on my blog when it's up. I'd love to read what you come up with!

More of Dynamite's big, big, BIG bodybuilding boys sporting impressively big members, which they're proud to display for muscle-and-priapic size fans everywhere. Once again you can see in close-up the big tools these 4 bodybuilders hide (and never very successfully) in their posing trunks as they flex and pose for their fans! Back for round 2 is Dynamite's great 2012 discovery Gianluigi Volti, the Italian bad boy of stunning muscle proportions and bulging male girth; Norman Cox, the big and hung heavyweight bodybuilder boy from up north; Paulo Maneros, fresh from competition, deeply tanned, ripped and golden, handling his big tool for your viewing pleasure; and Rico Cane, a former Powerman model who exploded onto the MuscleHunks scene this year with his amazingly pumped big new muscles, which somehow don't quite overcome the looming, pendulous bulge in his shorts.

So You Want to Start a Book Club, Part 2 - Starting Your Own Group
So You Want to Start a Book Club, Part 3 - You First Meeting
I'm going to share a secret with you that all members of book clubs know...not all "good," or even "great," books make for good discussions. It's true. There will be times when your discussion won't last past much everyone saying they liked the book. And that's okay...it gives you all time to visit about other things and just enjoy time together.
There are also times when your club will read a book that will be universally hated. Honestly, these meetings can actually be quite fun! But, you wouldn't want every book club meeting to centered around a disappointing book.
To help you all get started, here are 11 books that have led to some fabulous discussions in groups I have been in. To be honest, I had a horribly difficult time narrowing down this list and, I could probably recommend dozens more...but here you go. The links for each book will go to the GoodReads page, unless I've previously reviewed it on my blog--in which case it will go to my review.
|The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker
|The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
|The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
|Life of Pi by Yann Martel
|Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
|Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
|Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
This is one of those books that is incredibly original, a bit creepy, and great fodder for discussion. I won't say more about it than that...
|Quiet by Susan Cain
|The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
|The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
|To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Tomorrow, I'll finish up this series with some fun ideas for your book club.

Official State of Alaska Vacation and Travel Information
by: Michael DeYoung
Open All [+]Close All [+]
Astronauts say they can see it from space, but visitors to Alaska don't have to go that far to see one of engineering's modern marvels, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
Winding from the Arctic region of Prudhoe Bay to the ice-free port of Valdez, the pipeline is visible near Fairbanks, Glennallen, Delta Junction, Valdez and along the Dalton Highway. The Dalton, which is known in Alaska at the North Slope Haul Road, is a 414-mile road built during construction of the pipeline to provide access to remote construction camps. The highway begins at milepost 73.1 on the Elliott Highway north of Fairbanks and ends at Deadhorse.
Permits are no longer required to drive the gravel highway. Services are very limited and are only available at milepost 56 and milepost 175 at Coldfoot. Travelers should be prepared to drive slowly as the gravel road is very rough. There are four designated campgrounds along the Dalton Highway, and several informal campsites.
