1933 Ford Low Boy Roadster Some say nightmare, some say dream, either this 1933 Ford Low Boy Roadster is a result of vivid imagination and dedication to build only the best possible low boy around. The result of many years of building, tweaking, fitting, all the while keeping focus, resulted in what is shown here. The 1933 Ford body is finished in Purple Pearl Hot Rod Flatz paint color, channeled 4in over a hand fabricated stainless steel frame. Sitting in front of the body is an eye popping 353 Chrysler HEMI w/392 valves, solid lifter cam topped with a beautiful set of four (4) 97 Stromberg's sitting on a Crager intake that were fine tuned by Greg Gillaspy. The engine is finished and fine tuned by none other than Jim Marrone, Crew Chief of the 1964-69 era Don Big Daddy Garlits. That substantial power is transferred through a 5 speed Mercury transmission then to the Halibrand quick-change rear with a Ford 9in splined axle. Out front, the Elco tank is actually functional with a hand-pump under the dash. Other features that compose this build are Vertex magneto, custom fabricated stainless steel exhaust, F-dropped beam axle w/transverse spring, 1942 Lincoln backing plates & Buick drums, bright red finished bench seat, 1940 Ford dash, 1939 Ford column and 1940 steering wheel, 1952 Buick taillights, 16x6 steel wheels wrapped with F-6.00-16 Cocker/Firestone; R-7.50-16 Cocker/Firestone. Truly unique to the car is the absence of a fan belt driven water pump and alternator... The water pump is NASCAR style cam driven and alternator is rear mounted driven by the driveshaft. Radiator is mounted in the rear. This could be your dream too $ 89,900.00 obo GIVE US A CALL @ 909-596-5700 OR EMAIL US @ email@example.com WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE

Sandra Dee, a student at Miskatonic University in the New England town of Arkham, is assisting visiting professor Ed Begley, who has been working with the Necronomicon, a rare and ancient book of evil rites which resides in a glass case in the library. An intense-looking young man (Dean Stockwell) tries to borrow it for some research of his own. Begley is loath to let it go, but Dee takes a shine to the guy, and when they find out that he is a descendent of a local "warlock" who had some tragic dealings with the book long ago, they decide to let him have a look. Stockwell winds up getting a ride back to his home in the nearby town of Dunwich from Dee, who, under the influence of a drug he puts in her tea, falls asleep and spends the night. There is a nightmare rape/orgy scene filled with "Hair" rejects and filmed in trippy 60's jump cuts, and we're not quite sure if it really happened or not, but the next morning, Dee wakes up refreshed and spends a lovely day with Stockwell, who takes her to the Devil's Hopyard, an ancient stone altar on a picturesque cliff overlooking the sea, where Dee once again conks out and undergoes another nightmare rape scene in which we see that Stockwell has arcane symbols tattooed all over his torso. It soon becomes clear that Stockwell is trying to impregnate Dee with his own brand of demon seed in order to conjure up some of the ancient gods (primarily Yog-Sothoth, whose name he chants frequently). Meanwhile, a friend of Dee's (Donna Baccala) comes looking for her, and winds up confronting a horrible tentacled monster which has been locked away in Stockwell's house. That semi-invisible beast/force which, it turns out, is actually a relative of Stockwell's, escapes and ravages the countryside, leading to a drawn-out climax at the Devil's Hopyard. The ancient gods are defeated, though a last shot suggests that they are down but not out.
I think I can safely say that, to date, no moviemakers have gotten H. P. Lovecraft right. Some point to Stuart Gordon's RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND as solid Lovecraft films; they are good movies but they ultimately wind up taking very little from Lovecraft. The movie that comes closest to the Lovecraft spirit is John Carpenter's IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, which wasn't based directly on Lovecraft at all but uses his concepts of indescribable, otherworldly gods trying to break through to this world, and the damage they do to those humans unlucky enough to be a witness to their attempts. DUNWICH HORROR, based on a Lovecraft short story, gets some of the trappings right, but can't overcome a low budget and some miscast actors. Stockwell, in a very 70's perm, is good once you get used to him, though I couldn't help but think that Anthony Perkins would have been ideal. Dee is ho-hum, but she isn't really called on to do much more than look pretty, sleep, and writhe half-naked on beds and altars. Begley and Sam Jaffe (as Stockwell's crazed grandfather) were probably hired to bring some respectability to the project, but neither one seems to have his heart in his performance. The 70's vibe dates the movie, though the sets and effects are fine, a notch above the typical American International film of the era. In fact, the scene in which the beast attacks Baccala is perhaps the most Lovecraftian in the movie; presented in short, fast edits and filmed in solarized psychedelic colors, we don't really see the creature, just an impression of slime, tentacles, and a face as it batters away at the girl. Unfortunately, we see a little too much of the creature in the climax, though it is a decent attempt at a Cthulian-type creature and not as laughable as it could have been. Les Baxter's main theme is pretty but not especially atmospheric; it kept taking me out of the movie until I realized halfway through that it sounds a lot like an Al Stewart song from the Time Passages album. I saw this years ago on a pan-and-scanned tape; it fares much better on the cleaned-up, letterboxed DVD from MGM. In fact, it was like watching a whole different movie. [DVD]

I always like to update you on the weather as I know I have a lot of Northern readers!! This weekend we were in the mid 50's at night (freezing to me!) but warming up beautifully, high 70's, low 80's in the middle of the day! This week, however, its only supposed to get in the mid 60's during the day and mid 40's at night!! Yikes---takes me a while to get used to those COLD temps!!!!
This time of year, though, it changes weekly----could be back up in the 80's the following week! (I'm hoping!).
Don't forget to turn your clocks BACK this coming Sunday, November 2.
I understand the rationale---school kids waiting for the bus in the dark-----but, man-0-man, I don't like it when it gets dark at 5:00 in the afternoon!!! I'm the type of person who requires a lot of sunlight! I think its time to go to bed when it gets dark!!!
As for real estate:
It seems that for the first time in 3 years, existing home sales in Florida rose 24% in September!!!! Of course, this is due to the declining prices. Florida's median sales price is $175,1,00, a year ago it was $224,700. The interesting thing is that in Sept of 2003, the median sale price was $158,800---meaning there has been a 10.3% INCREASE in that 5 year period. Proving my point that real estate is a LONG TERM INVESTMENT!!!! That being said, that is the case in a normal market. The year when we hit this "abnormal" high, selling old mobile homes for $300,000+ might be different. I'm not sure that you will have a normal rate of appreciation in 5 years in that case, maybe 10 years???
I will have more stats on the local real estate sales in my newsletter which I will be sending out next week. I can tell you that we are pretty much in line with the state wide stats though.
The Appalachicola Seafood Festival is this weekend. www.floridaseafoodfestival.com
Port St. Joe has its downtown trick or treating this Friday. It's sooooo much fun to see all the kids in their costumes!
I pray everyone has a wonderful week. Don't forget to vote November 2nd!

The freerice.com word exercise is pretty fun. I only got up to like 500 grains though. :[
I wonder how they know that they're donating 11 billion. How many grains are in one sac of rice? :O

I'm having one of those weeks.
I feel very removed from God.
I'm not connecting with my husband the way I like too.
I'm snappish with my children.
The house is a mess.
The laundry needs done.
It feels like EVERYTHING needs organized.
My work? I totally forgot an appointment this week. My schedule is filling up, and I'm wondering if I'll have time to prep for all the classes.
I feel like I'm swimming laps. Making a lot of splashes, but never really getting anywhere.
And to worried about getting to the non-existent finish to come up for air.
I felt this way last fall, when we were moving, trying to get things ready for birthdays, holidays and all the other crap we had going on. I have a really hard time saying "no" to things, and it just seemed like we went from one thing to the other. I remember thinking: "ok, today is: **** I'm supposed to be happy." I hate not being able to plan things properly, and I love anticipating events. Lately, both have been missing in my life. And then, yesterday I read McMama's post, "I'm gonna miss this" I had a little cry. at my desk. at work. no kleenex. I looked fantastic for my meeting.
My goal for this weekend: take time to organize something, and STOP, take time to enjoy the ride.

Taking a quick break from the movies (but I did watch a great movie that I'm going to do a review of soon), I want to share with all of you this piece that I wrote. It's technically a college essay (maybe, it might not quite fit the genre), but I think it's too adorable. I don't meant to toot my own horn, and I've never really been one to do that, but I just think it is too cute! Usually my writing is dark, depressing and all-together upsetting to most, but this? Nuh-uh! So here we go. A tribute to Scott:
Over the years, I have been involved with many literary men. I contemplated whether or not "to be" with an Englishman, some New Yorker tried to tell me repeatedly how much of a phony I was, I've even been through the nine levels of hell with some crazy Italian! But the true man for me is F. Scott Fitzgerald. He truly speaks to me, and we understand each other. Often I have sat with him, and without myself saying a word, he has expressed his innermost desires and passions. Sometimes, I find that he is a little wealth-obsessed, and although this is a little upsetting, I understand–it's hard not to be in these days. It's not exactly he that wants the wealth of others, he simply has a small fascination with the wealthy and their lives. And of course, who doesn't? His drinking is a little heavy at times, but he makes up for it with his elaborate sentences and lavish prose. Often times, when I sit down with him, I find myself getting lost in what he's saying, myself becoming part of the world he describes. His verbs are so vivid, and his descriptions so clear and full of imagery that it's impossible not to picture his words forming scenes. Sometimes I worry about him though. He holds on so to his youth, and as the years pass I can see it slipping from him. I heard from Budd Shulberg that he was really having a hard time out in Hollywood, and that his once bountiful promise was slipping from him with his age. He really was one to revel and exceed in his youth. It's the American Dream instilled in him. I understand it, but he simply can't get it past that silly, talented head of his.
You know, I was there when they found that Gatsby character in the pool, and I had attended each and every one of his parties. And you know Bernice? Well, I helped her decide to bob her hair! When Scottie told me that in fact I was the other woman, and not Zelda, I was simply devastated. But, I still was faithful to him true and true, in my own way. I have to admit that I did wander off and experiment with some other men. After Fitzgerald, I took a long drive to California with the Joads, and then after, decided to visit Hester Prynne to ask her about how she was dealing with her pain. This one man told me a dreadfully long and convoluted story about some whale, and I quickly moved on to work on a mystery involving Leonardo Da Vinci. I took a trip to see elves and hobbits and dwarves, but it was quite dirty down in Middle Earth so I moved on to spend Tuesdays with a man named Morrie. When I found myself with nothing to do in between Tuesdays, I visited Tara for a few moments, but the atmosphere there was a little too hectic for my liking. Likewise when I visited the Overlook Hotel, and his child kept repeating "redrum, redrum". It took me ages to figure out he was trying to say murder, and by then I was far too terrified to stay. I even lived in a slaughter-house for a while and got abducted by aliens, but that nonsense was beyond my comprehension.
Although I wander to and fro, book to book, author to author, searching for a replacement for my dear F. Scott, I find that no one can truly match him in my heart. I revisit his stories about Gatsby and Nick, turning back to his anecdotes about Bernice and his ice castle, and then move on to his own more personal material, such of that of Zelda and himself, the two of them so beautiful, and yet damned. I look upon his later life, the life that I am not a part of, but wish I could be with him, while he lost his way in Hollywood. I read his letters, and wish they were to me. I turn to others for their views–Budd Shulberg, Matthew J. Bruccoli–men who like me can't seem to let go of the legend, our love. Although I share F. Scott with many others, and find myself wandering from him at times, I always return to the man I love, the writing I love, immersing myself in his stories, his prose, his beauty.
Well, thanks for reading, and even if you didn't, thanks for pretending! We'll get back to movies shortly, and in the meantime, go read a book!

I was looking forward to my skipping rope. I still haven't been able to use it. You are supposed to cut the rope to suit your height, that's easy. However, they suggest you reuse the metal stopper that it comes with. It's impossible to use it. It'll be better if they provide you with another one, so you can use your pliers and adjust it.Brand's answer :
Thanks a lot to give us your opinion on Skipping Rope + Weights. I m sorry to hear your issue adjusting the rope length, we know that could be difficult to move the steel buckle and we are suggesting to make a classic knot to adjust the length. Your feedback is really helpful to speed up our product manager in order to find a better solution for that.

Title: The Land of the Silver Apples
Author: Nancy Farmer
What it's about: When a midwinter ceremony goes wrong, Jack, his sister, and the Bard head for a monastery in order to find a way to drive out the evil spirits. However, there's more than meets the eye there, and Jack is soon drawn into another quest in a fantastic land. Accompanied by friends new and old, he must rescue those trapped in the land of the silver apples and lead his company back to freedom.
What I thought: Another gripping tale mixing mythologies into an exciting adventure. Characters from the first book get more development, and the characters newly introduced in this book can't be found lacking in development and personality either. Same good quality of writing and descriptions, nice mix of humor and seriousness, and the way the story flows is interesting, with danger and unexpected occurrences.
Overall: A worthy sequel to The Sea of Trolls.
Last book in this series apparently comes out some time this year, too. Rawk.

A Life in Pictures
Head full of paintings all week - he's well-and-truly back, and feeding on brainflots like a catchy refrain - it is one of those tired clichés, surely, a conditioned response, to answer "Rembrandt" when asked one's favorite artist? How easily it trips off the tongue. As thoughtlessly as "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" or filthy Mozart, as Lucky Jim would have it, are all of them flung carelessly into everyman's desert island napsack?
To admit of such is foolish: it is, on one hand, a confession of ignorance - it says you wouldn't recognize a Rembrandt if it bit right through your stretchpants? And on the other, which at least presumes you might, you are the despised bourgeoise catamite of imperialist hegemony, and likely closet racist necrophiliac. On yet a third hand - for here in the Xenoverse we are alien as Skandar jugglers, remember - we recall our past lives on another world, where any actual interest was pretentious, suspicious? Frowned upon. Art was for fairies, and fairies themselves - faeries no longer - as emasculated as The Lion and The Unicorn.
So: Ssshhh! Keep it quiet, so no-one finds out?
I hate to draw rank - so many favorites to choose from? So let's just say that Rembrandt is primus inter pares - first among equals - in my little world of Vermeers, Dürers, Botticellis, and Bruegels? There are more, many more, but they won't come to me until tonight, as I lie on the brink on sleep. Rembrandt comes first for no other reason than his were the first I saw, for real, with eyes that could? I'd walked the Louvre years before, it's true, but that was as a schoolboy: when I looked at all at paintings there, it was only for recognition with any I'd seen in books or encyclopaedias. La Giaconda was too small, her encasement too oppressive.
My first Rembrandt remains among my favorites. It is a self-portrait - the one above - which hangs in the National Gallery in Edinburgh. First gallery I visited of my own volition, too. Two crimes right there! Nobody visited galleries unless they'd been dragged by a teacher? But I was out of school, apprenticed to a shipyard - I was supposed to be bumming around second-hand record stores, Cockburn St and Greyfriars, looking for weirdo LP's. I was not supposed to be flouncing around an art gallery. But worse: a self-portrait was anathema to my kind, to the kind I once was. A self-portrait is a self-glorification, a blowing of one's own trumpet. A piece of flash immodesty and self-promotion. A portrait of someone a bit too full o' himself? To have been ensnared and captured by such a thing, to have fallen under its enchantment, such condition could not be spoken of. It meant that, given genuine passions would be instantly detected and jumped upon, I had to change my stock answer to Bosch, who was always considered cool and permissable.
But look at it! Look at the pain, look at the regret?
At this point I ought to quote Pope John Cleese I, annunciating ex-cathedra at the Secret Policeman's Ball... "I don't know much about art, but I knows what I likes!" Any formal education that I may have received in Art began, and ended, with related lines in Miss Noble's class - the same Miss Noble, Head of Culross House, who hovered hawklike at the stairs, ripping earrings out of passing schoolgirl's with a stern "See Me!" rebuke. Paintings to me are like books: I may know that there are multiple layers, hidden metaphors and allusions, but I'm too thick to read them, and need to be drawn by the topspiece?
Still, I was riveted. Stood before a painting as I never had before. Forget the craft - who needs to know or care that they made their paints with earwax? eeeeww - look at the way he melts out of blackness, and look, again and again, at that face.
Rembrandt Van Rijn, it transpires, was a serial offender, an obsessive self-portraitist. He painted other subjects too - all of them stunning - but his portraits of himself, which paint the series of his life, those attract me most. He was cursed with an interesting life, and it all of it shows:
I've said before I'm lucky to live so close to Los Angeles, with its plethora of musea. Very nearly all of them have something by Rembrandt - the Norton-Simon in particular has, I'm sure I recall, a half-finished portrait of his son, or is it a little girl (I'm not sure now?) which jolted me again. But I'm luckier even than that. I've made two trips to the Metropolitan in New York, and last time I was there, back in November during the World Series, we walked down the eastern edge of Central Park to the diminutive Frick. This, despite it's small size, proved to be a treasure trove of Rembrandts and Holbeins. I looked Cromwell and Sir Thomas More in the face, strode between them thusly, for indeed, were you ever to ask my mirror you'd discover I'm 'Enery the Eighth I am. I am.

A day before Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar skipped a Cabinet meeting to register his protest against the Congress ignoring the NCPs views in policy matters,he had found himself waging a lone battle against a revised proposal of the national food security Bill.
The new proposal seeks to have a blanket provision to provide 25 kg highly subsidised foodgrain to a family of five per month,covering 67 per cent of the population. Pawar was the lone voice to argue that not only was this bad economics,but regressive as well as it did not entail concomitant investment in farm infrastructure.
The new proposal seeks to meet the suggestions by some current and a few former members of the National Advisory Council headed by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.
Pawar,who had flagged off his reservations over the food guarantee law in a letter to PM Manmohan Singh in July last year,reiterated the same at the high-level meeting of the Cabinet that was attended by Defence Minister A K Antony,Home Minister P Chidambaram and Food Minister K V Thomas.
Pawar talked about the sustainability of the subsidy burden as well as the legally binding requirement of annual procurement of over 62 million tonnes,and its adverse impact on the domestic grain market. The legally binding annual food subsidy burden would be over Rs 1.18 lakh crore.
Thomas,however,was learnt to have brushed aside his concerns,instead saying that the revisions needed to procure over 62 million tonnes of annual foodgrain could be pushed through. Then we do not even need a PDS, Thomas retorted at one point,sources said.
Pawar reportedly did not find any help from the politicians present either. Chidambaram raised the governments political commitment to enact a food guarantee law,while Antony backed the revisions proposed by Thomas.
Sources,however,said Wednesdays meeting had nothing to do with Pawars absence from the Cabinet on Thursday,and that the NCPs sense of feeling ignored had been festering for long.
BJP takes dig at Cong
The BJP seized on the strains between the Congress and the NCP as an opportunity to hit out at the ruling party,accusing it of being arrogant and not paying attention to the voters. The Congress does not listen to the voters,does not listen to its own ministers,or its allies or even the Opposition. It has betrayed and let down everybody, said BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar.

Marburg is an interesting city. It is in the southern part of Germany, about 3 hours south of us so not completely at the bottom. It is however kind of out of the way of civilization. There is no Autobahn that reaches Marburg and Patrick tells me that it has a large student popluation which is aparent from the vast presence of the university. My two favorite things about the city are its location, on a hill and its history, aparent. Basicaly, you take an elevator to either the first or second landing and there are shops and other city center happenings on both levels completely independent of each other. There are also hidden stairways to transport between the levels. From the ground you cannot see the inner happenings of each level above. We arrived an hour early and did not know exactly how to find Patrick's friends so we figured we would check out the city and its Christmas market. We were ultimately disapointed but we didn't know about the elevator until later. Once I found out about the other levels, the city became much more loveable. Unfortunately, we just arrived on the top level when I began to not feel well so we were not really able to enjoy it. The top of the hill is home to a castle and only accessible by stairs and cobblestone road. Marburg is home to a very old University and aparently the guy that founded the University did so by stealing knowledge. He was also the builder/owner of the castle. It is also said that he has a cannon at his castle and he built a wall directly in front of the cannon which led to firing cannon balls and making holes in his own wall (the guy can found a University but can't think his defense system out). Aside from being on a hill, Marburg managed to survive the war. Basicaly the University is the only thing that was there during the war and since it is not an easily accessible town, no one wanted to capture it. The buildings were saved and the town looks as I pictured Germany. I also learned that there was a movement in the 1970's to knock down all of the buildings and replace them with "new construction" think concrete high rise buildings. This happened to some areas outside of the town center but someone came to their senses and put an end to that. The cement 70's buildings are so ugly, one was even green with pink balconies and not in a cute preppy way, more in an I would be embarrassed to live there sort of way. If you are looking for a random place to visit, I would reccomend Marburg! I also have more photos of this exucrsion on Facebook as I can only post 5 here.

Lately Lily has been humoring me with her pronounciations of wheat thins. I don't know if she is just being silly or is really having a problem saying it. She calls them tumble wheats. I correct her, but, also think it is kind of cute so I laugh. Today I caught her with the box and she looked at me and said "I was just getting me some A -twins". Confused, I asked her to tell me again what they were called and after thinking for a second she said "uummm, bumble beets".
I thought this was cute enough to share so I ran and got the camera to take her picture with the wheat thins. She was very excited about this.
Of course, you know Sean had to get in on the action so he wanted some food to take a picture with too. I offered him the wheat thin box but he would not have it. He wanted something better he said. He got a container out of the refrigerator and held it up. When he saw that it was spinach wraps he was very disappointed. You know me, I had to take the picture of his disappointment cause it was just too funny not to share.....
Laughter IS good medicine and I needed some today!

The Hindu Jagaran Sammukhya (HJS), a frontal organisation of the RSS, on Wednesday blamed Congress Rajya Sabha member and World Vision chief Radhakanta Nayak for the violence in Kandhamal and demanded immediate action against him.
Addressing a Press conference here, HJS joint organising secretary Basudev Barik, Sampark pramukha SP Acharya, State spokesman Simanchal Khatua and joint secretary Ajit Patnaik condemned the attack on Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati and threatened of a mass agitation over the issue. "World Vision NGO and it chief Nayak, who is also a Rajya Sabha member of the Congress was the main conspirator in the issue and attack on Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, was a pre-planned effort by Nayak and his men," they said. State Government should impose ban on the NGO, working for religious conversion, the Sammukhya demanded.
Asked about legal action against MP Nayak, they said that Sammukhya is exploring options to take legal action against those who are conspiring against the Hindus in Phulbani district. Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati also accused the Congress MP for the violence and attack on him. "Their attack was aimed at eliminating me," he said, adding this was for the seventh time that they failed to kill him. Saraswati, who is a member of the VHP's margadarshak mandali, was attacked by a mob while he was on his way to Brahmanigaom. His driver and personal security guard were seriously injured in the incident and his car badly damaged.
While Saraswati was initially admitted at Darinigibadi Government Hospital, his security guard was rushed to M KCG Medical College Hospital at Berhampur. Sources said that the district administration of Kandhamal preferred to shift Saraswati to SCB Medical College Hospital in Cuttack apprehending more danger due to presence of the VHP leader in Daringibadi. VHP sources informed The Pioneer that the Swami's health condition is improving.

Time to start spamming my blog with photos from the latest trip. The trip to Scotland!
When I decided to join the trip t felt like this was way in to the future but suddenly it was time to get ready to get going! This time we all left the bikes at home and the plan was to hire the bikes at location, that meant that the amount of stuff that had to be carried along was way less than usual. The packing was done in a heartbeat, liberating! :)
Only bike related parts I brought with me was my Time Z-pedals, rest was bike clothes, camera gear and some regular clothes. Got some extra space in the luggage tobbe had payed for, the rest I stuffed in to my carry-on luggage. Ryan air knows how to charge for all extra luggage. =)
The flight was to lift off around 7 pm so I decided to work on the morning at Wednesday and take a half day off on the afternoon. This way I saved a precious vacation day!
Had some troubble filling up my car with petrol before picking up Tobbe, thought there was something wrong with the gas-pump, turned out that the tank was full, couldn't belive that the consumption had been so low! =)
Well, after getting slightly behind schedule I got to T&A:s house, loaded the car with Tobbes stuff and we were on our way! Untill Tobbe relised he had forget his passport on the kitchen table! Luckily we hadn't manage to get too far by then!
After thinking we had a comfortable time margin to get to the airport we suddenly had a slight hurry, but we made it in time!
Think Tobbe told me that he checked in the baggage after the Ryanair 'dead line' but there were apparently no major problems.
Waiting for the plain to get ready for next flight.
Now in the air, somewhere over the North sea.
Nice reflections from the sun hitting the sea.
We made it to the Edinburgh Airport!
Looking for our car outside the rental center.
On our way to Innerleithen!
Sorry about all sky shots, couldn't resist! =)
On the A703(?) to Peebles.
After settling in to the rented apartment we went out for a bite, Volcano Takeaway got the honors to deliver our food, mostly because it was the only place still open. ;)
After downing a huge Ham & Pineapple Pizza it was time to get some sleep, managed to get some sleepd despite the great expectations for the next day!

Nelson Muntz to Rasheed Wallace: "Ha-ha! You overextended yourself!" (LeBron James, Anderson Varejao and Co. make Purina Piston Chow out of Detroit!)
That's the only thing you can say as a Cleveland sports fan, isn't it-?
LeBron James is "the James Bond of the NBA." Somehow, someway, despite all the odds - against ALL the odds - he finds a way to get the job done. And nobody does it better.
How can this be happening in Cleveland-? Has my own personal Oceanic Flight 815 somehow strayed off course from Cuyahoga County and crashed on some eerie sports-purgatory island where dreams become reality-? Where LeBron flies through the Cleveland skyline like Superman soars high above Metropolis-?
In a town inhabited by so many shameless wannabes - isn't it refreshing to rejoice about a homegrown Ohio kid who actually has ...talent. "So dark the con of Cleveland man." But to say LeBron James has "talent" is like saying that Albert Einstein was "a great patent clerk who was really good at math."
The Cleveland Cavaliers have DEFIED all the odds - and the national media - by winning 3 games against the dominating Detroit Pistons. Can these scrappy, swashbuckling b-ballers make it 4 games to swipe the series away from The Motor City Mad Men-?
Well, when a Superman like LeBron James is watching over your hometown of Cleveland, anything is possible...
Chris McVetta is a blogger who dabbles in sports commentary like Dan Brown dabbles in Da Vinci: Completely half-assed, yet oddly engaging!

What a peach of a wallpaper don't you think? I suppose you what to know how to get it on the desktop now. Getting the wallpaper onto your desktop background can be done in a number of ways. One way is to right click the wallpaper below and then select 'save target as...' (IE & Opera) or 'save link as...' (Firefox). If you do this - don't forget where you saved it! Then set the desktop background using your computers OS's desktop or display control panel and select the image you just saved.
Instead you could, when the full screen version has loaded up, right click it and select 'save image as...' or 'set as Desktop Background' or 'Set as Background'.When the time comes - you'll know what to do. I believe in you. You probably already know in fact. I'll keep a lid on it now.

This article was just published today, it states the following:
Spina bifida affects 1 in every 1,500 babies each year while CDH occurs in 1 of every 2,500. In the U.S., $230 million each year is spent due to CDH4. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), $636,000 is spent for each baby born with spina bifida during their lifetime5. This is only a small fraction of the costs associated with the various diseases children can be born with. If the possibilities for stem and gene therapy come to fruition as many scientists believe they will, these costs can be reduced for both the families affected as well as the government.

This hot mistress is going to tell her slave exactly what she expects of him, and he better not give her any lip back. Her slave is actually very scared of her and knows that he is in deep shit if he plans on talking back to her. All he wants to do is obey all of her commands and wishes, and keep her happy at all times.
Some slaves have to find out the hard way when it comes time to get kicked in the balls. Obviously, this slave is not seasoned because he is making all sorts of noise as he is being tortured by his mistress. Ladies do not like this type of noise, in fact they actually despise it. The slave may end up getting dropped because he was so loud and obnoxious.
Two ladies are ready to pimp out their slaves, even though the slaves have voiced their opinions and they do not want to be used and abused by anyone. These ladies do not care and their plans are for total domination and humiliation, plus they plan on making some money off of all of these idiots that are before them on their hands and knees begging for any mercy.
Princess Jenny is very controlling, even as she is in her bathroom. She likes to invite her slaves over, because most of the time she has an idea of what she wants her slaves to do. No matter what it is going to be very dominating and humiliating, but she does not care. Her goal is to have a clean toilet at the slave's expense even if he does not want to.
This mistress is looking forward to her first domination session. She plans to do all sorts of things to her slave such as trample him with her high heels, strangle him and even use him as an ashtray
Cassandra knows how to torture slaves. She likes to wear provocatively and then when they are vulnerable, she will trample on their balls and body with her high heels and make them beg for forgiveness
This mistress loves to use her high heels to inflict pain. She enjoys trampling guys all over their body and stomping over them. She sometimes likes to smother their faces with her ass
Amelia's feet are stinking. Her socks are even worse. And the soles of her shoes are very dirty. But her slave has to lick them up or he will be trampled and tortured like he never has been
This mistress likes to brain fuck her slaves. She likes to hypnotize them and make them useless. She then does whatever she wants with them like trample them or get money from them
Lisa Jordan is one hot mistress. She has killer looks and is very naughty. And she likes to flirt and make her pay pigs jerk off to the sight of her nice ass and big boobs as well as lovely figure
Isabella likes wearing racy clothes and teasing and flirting with her pay pigs. She likes to make them do a lot of stuff for her, but in the end, they have to pay her for it all
Goddess Kim is a sadist. She invested in a pair of spiked high heels which she likes to use to trample and ballbust her slaves with. She loves making them feel a lot of pain and seeing them cry
Herrin Amy shows some skin and calls the slave names but still wants him to jerk off. And he has no choice because she will trample him and do all sorts of things on him if he does not
Mistress BlackDiamoond and her friend are cruel. When they realised that they did not have an ashtray, they did not bother getting one. They got a slave and used him as a human ashtray
Lady Nivia is drinking wine while trying to come up with what he wants to do to her slave. And she tells him what options she has and he cringes at the things she thinks about doing to him
Candy is a sexy mistress. She's beautiful and has a cute face. But she's not as innocent as she looks as she likes to torture slaves and make them cry. Smothering their faces with her ass is what she likes to do
Mandy Flores likes using all manner of dominating and degrading acts to torture her slaves. This time round, it was farting. She put her ass on the slave's face and farted on him and he was supposed to smell it
Cybill Troy is turned on by a man's cry. And she likes to torture slaves and make them cry. She tied this slave and then whipped him mercilessly then spanked his ass and hit him in the head too
Emily, Gia, Kourtney and Nancy are sadosisters. They like to make guys cry and beg for mercy. It makes them feel great and powerful. They took a slave and enjoyed slapping him hard and laughing at his cries of pain
Sweetbaby, Chantal and Jane had never dominated a slave together. So they wanted to try it. They got a slave and then enjoyed making him lick the soles of their shoes and spitting on him

|This was the 4th day of your life
Sophee, It has been 16 weeks since the last time I help your warm body. I can still remember the smell, and feel the wrinkles on your skin..you were so skinny after all. I just adore those memories. You snuggled in mommy's chest, so natural. I was so difficult to hold you while you were intubated. I was so fearful of the tube becoming dialoged becasue when I put you against my chest you trying digging yourself deeper and deeper. I am not sure where the time has gone. I can recall the details of the day you died like it just happened but then it feels like forever since I was able to touch you! I spent 6 1/2 months doing nothing but caring for you and holding you. We spent so much time in the rocking chair it was almost as if you knew when we were not in it. I tried putting you in the bed with me several times but that wasn't what you wanted. And boy did you have an opinion. You knew up until that least breath who you wanted and how you wanted it! I miss you...You are a picture of God's perfection and a story of His grace...I can't believe this amount of time has come and gone.

I know Myst fans tend to love museums, and LA has LACMA, The Page Museum by the infamous La Brea Tar Pits, The Getty, The Natural History Museum, and lots of other interesting little compendiums of knowledge tucked away in its many corners. There's also The Bradbury Building, renowned for the sheer steampunkery of its interior, so that's a lot of things to think about.
I'd also love to invite everyone over to my house for one of the nights; as I posted here quite a while back, the new house that my parents acquired in stunningly Myst-esque, complete with metal sconces, tons of detail, and hidden compartments... It would be fun to finally get some more Myst fans to check it out.
I was also considering suggesting some hiking ideas, if people were interested. Vasquez Rocks are always a fun and otherworldly place to check out, and there are plenty of caves and forests around to satisfy one's exploratory needs.
So! There's a start. As I know that I'd really like to invite people over to my place one of the nights for general lounging about, snacks, and sharing in Myst geekery, here are the directions to my house using the all-powerful GoogleMaps. I'm thinking Saturday night might be best for that, as I'm going to be a bit preoccupied late Friday night purchasing the latest Harry Potter book... Speaking of which, actually, if anyone wants to join me, I'll be the one dressed as a Death Eater at my local bookstore. But anyway.
I don't know what people are interested in doing in terms of sightseeing, so I'd love to get some feedback on that- I enjoy hiking and museums, but that doesn't necessarily mean everyone does, so I want to be flexible and make sure that everyone has as good a time as is possible. Also, if anyone is interested in doing mini presentations, theyre more than welcome to make the best f my house and show off their creativity and wares.
That's all I've got for now- I hope I get some responses, if only even to set up a time and place to initially meet up and winging it from there, or, alternatively, exchanging cell numbers.

(KMOV.com) - The Pattonville Schools District is asking Republic Services to take a break from its work on the Bridgeton landfill.
The next phase of the project to stop the odor coming from the landfill is supposed to begin May 20. School is in session until May 23, and the district wants the next phase of the project to be delayed until school lets out for the summer.
The district said it can reduce the amount of outside air that is brought into the high school, which may help alleviate the problem.
"All the filters at the high school are charcoal based, so we have the ability to filter some of that air," said Ron Orr of the Pattonville School District. "We've also worked with Republic already, they will have an air monitoring station near the high school so they'll able to verify anything in the atmosphere is not harmful for us."
A spokesman for Republic Services said the start date for the next phase of the project was agreed upon with the Missouri Attorney General's Office. Talks to move the start date are ongoing.

A rainy, cloudy, crappy day.
No sunshine in sight. Only the rumble of distant thunder.
And I am thankful for it.
I don't know why I take comfort in days like this (In January I'm sure I'll be whistling a different tune). Maybe because I won't feel guilty staying in my pajamas all day, picking up the house, and just generally doing nothing.
Except thinking about Will.
The last day it stormed here was the night before he was born...if only we would have known what exactly was to come. It was such a beautiful storm front that the picture above I took from my hospital room. Our friends were visiting from CA, but of course they were up at Mackinac Island this night, and were so disappointed they missed the storm. Hmm.
What is that saying?
"The calm before the storm"
Yeah, well, those 8 weeks in the hospital were anything but calm.
Physically, yes, because I was a prisoner in a tiny room and leaving it meant I was in a wheelchair.
But emotionally and spiritually, the storm was already raging (just ask my nurses).
Now its just been a hurricane since. Full force.
But at least yesterday was calm. I could function and think without feeling an anxiety attack coming on. I have moments when I think of Will and my throat feels like its closing and my chest hurts and my nose and eyes sting with tears. Those are my least favorite times...
Yesterday was different though.
I woke up and read my devotional and started a new routine. Every morning I write to Will in a journal. I don't care if that sounds crazy or what...it helps. And I have found that I have a lot to say to him...and I realized that I have been beating myself up with a lot of regrets and feeling of guilt about so many things.
When I write it out to him, it eases those feelings.
And by letting myself get it all out, first thing, means the volcano won't blow later in the day.
I'm not fighting it any more. I know I will cry. So I let it come. No more stuffing it deep down and hoping I can make it through one day without shedding a tear.
By doing this, I found the last two days I have actually felt okay...
I was able to meet a new friend and talk about Will and her loses, all without completely breaking down.
And I was able to sign up for a yoga class that is going to start on Will's due date...and not get a deep bitter feeling.
And I was able to set some personal work goals for myself and actually feel a twinge of motivation when I thought about what I could achieve...and not get that feeling of not caring at all.
Through it all, life and everything else has to continue. Even if I don't want it to without Will here. So I can either fight it or take a deep breath and learn how to adapt to this new life I've been given.
Small steps. Steps of faith...that I have to trust there is a purpose.
A plan.
A reason...

Sir Walter Armstrong, Lawrence, London, 1913, p. 180.
Lord Ronald Sutherland Gower, Sir Thomas Lawrence, London 1900, p. 123.
London, British Institution, 1830, no. 65.
Contrary to the traditional identification of the sitter as Mary, Countess Grey, we are grateful to Kenneth Garlick for pointing out that the sitter should in fact be identified as Elizabeth, Duchess of Devonshire, the second wife of the 5th Duke.
In his catalogue raisonné Garlick records a pencil, black and red chalk drawing (10½ x 8¼ in.) of the Duchess at Chatsworth and a replica at Windsor but further research has indicated that these are both engravings and that the present drawing is in fact the original version, after which the engravings were made. Garlick also records a repetition of the work at the Musée Bonnat in Bayonne but this is a watercolour of questionable attribution (see K. Garlick, 'A Catalogue of the Paintings, Drawings and Pastels of Sir Thomas Lawrence', Walpole Society, 1962-4, vol XXXIX, p. 224).
It has not been possible to identify the writer of the inscription on the reverse of the frame which identifies the sitter incorrectly as 'Mary Countess Grey', but we are grateful to Charles Noble, Deputy Keeper at Chatsworth, for suggesting that the drawing was probably lent or given to the Greys. There was certainly a strong friendship between the Greys and the Duke, and Chatsworth hold a number of letters between them, Mary Grey was a Ponsonby, so was also related to the Cavendish family. In addition the Duke was known to be a generous man, and even gave some of his Raphael drawings to Lawrence, so it is quite possible that he gave this drawing to the Greys and that with the descent of the drawing through generations of Greys, the identity of the sitter also changed to one of their own family and in spite of the large label on the reverse about the 6th Duke's ownership - the link to the Devonshires would ultimately have been lost.
Elizabeth Duchess of Devonshire was the 2nd daughter of the 4th Earl of Bristol. Her first husband was John Thomas Foster of Dunleer who she married in 1776, but she was widowed at an early age; she met Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire while travelling on the continent following her husband's death. Georgiana and Elizabeth became close friends and on their return to London, Elizabeth also formed a liaison with the Duke, the three then lived together in London in a notorious ménage à trois. Elizabeth or 'Bess' as she was commonly known was much admired as a great beauty, Edward Gibbon, the distinguished historian, wrote of her looks in relation to the first Duchess 'Bess is much nearer the level of a mortal but a mortal for whom the wisest man, historic or medical, would throw away two or three worlds if he had them in possession.' In 1809 Elizabeth became the second wife of the 5th Duke of Devonshire, and after his death in 1811, she moved to Rome. There she befriended some of the most distinguished Italians and foreigners alike and her house became a magnet for the international artistic community gathered in Rome. The writer George Ticknor related that he went to her 'conversaziones as to a great exchange to see who is in Rome, and to meet what is called the world' (Letters and Journals, I, p. 180). He also commented that the Duchess though 'a good respectable woman in her way', yet 'attempts to play the Maecenas a little too much'. Elizabeth was a generous patron of the fine arts and numbered Canova and Thorwaldsen among her close friends. She also arranged for the printing of a number of special editions of books from Horace to Virgil which she presented to various European royalty.
The present drawing was probably executed in Rome in 1819 as in that year the Duchess met frequently with Lawrence there. At the time of her first marriage she was also painted by Reynolds, Gainsborough and Kauffmann . The Gainsborough portrait is now in the Pierpont Morgan Library, New York.
We are grateful to Dr Kenneth Garlick for his help

DRUGS, robberies and assaults are on the rise in Donegal. Latest figures from the Central Statistics Office show thefts from shops have shot up by 56 per cent compared to the same period last year, while handling stolen property has soared by over 31 per cent. The figures are for the third quarter of the year.
While headline crime is down, the rise in burglaries across rural parts of Donegal is a source of major concern. Thefts from shops, people and vehicles have shot up from 219 to 291-a rise of 32 per cent year-on-year.
Controlled drug offences are also up for the period by around 20 per cent (43 to 55) while personal use cases are also up from 36 to 44 in the comparative period.
The figures released by the Central Statistics Office show assaults are down significantly from 159 to 118 for the third quarter of the year, representing a drop of just over 25 per cent. Drink driving cases are also down from 94 to 80 in the same four months from last year.
Burglary and related offences have seen a notable drop of over 31 per cent from 116 to 79- although this does appear to fly in the face of a spate of such offences across rural parts of Donegal in recent times. Public Order offences are also down by over 27 per cent from 437 to 319 for the third quarter of the year.
The figures will again give rise to concerns as Garda management plan to close over half of the garda stations. This has included the recent downgrading of Glenties as a district headquarters and growing fears recent Milford is to face the same fate.
If this arises a huge swathe of north Donegal from Milford to the Rosses, including the Fanad and Rosguill peninsulas will be patrolled by garda personnel from Letterkenny. As part of the government's garda station 'consolidation' programme five garda stations closed in January.
They were Malin, Annagry, Glencolmcille, Brockagh and Churchill. Policing responsibility for the areas affected transferred to Carndonagh, Bunbeg, Carrick, Ballybofey and Kilmacrennan respectively.
There are fears up to half of the 45 garda stations in Donegal will be closed.
A Garda spokesperson said the station closures will result in: more effective use of limited resources; increased Garda visibility and patrol hours; better mobility and flexibility and improved policing service to the public.
Dublin too strong in Croker.

Question about 2005 Dodge Durango
05 Dodge Durango, The front ac won't blow cold. the back seems to be working great just not the front. I charged the system through the low pressure service port. It took a whole can and brought the pressure up to about 35 PSI... The air blew colder for about a day and now back to warm air. Any ideas? I have the same problem. I had a mechanic tell me he thought I had a door that was not completely open to allow the cold air to come through. He said he would need to take the dash apart to open that door up. So i took it to the dealership and they replaced a hose and re calibrated the computer system. 500 dollars later. It still was not fixed. I wish i had the original mechanic fix it. I am taking it back to the dealership to fix the problem i actually had. I wish they would have listened to me in regards to the rear had always worked and it was the front having the problems.
Posted by jhumphrey331 on
Could be the front door for the front air needs to be propped open so that is blows cold, could also be the a/c compressor or a clog somewhere up front in the vents... it could be numerous things, but i would say try propping the door open, if that doesn't work try replacing the compressor... haynes makes the repair manuals for the truck, goto auto zone, pep boys, etc. and pick up the book they have step by step instructions on how to fix the most common problems and all the different systems of the durango... the book will be very helpful, cause if you do your own work you can find everything easily..... hope this helps you...

SOURCE: 2005 Dodge Durango won't blow cold in front!! Rear air works fine
you are bodging it and as you dont know anything about the A/C system then leave well alone and get it done with a machine.the whole system needs to be evacuated oil drain needs to be measured then refilled with the correct grade of oil and then regassed with the correct WEIGHT of gas and possibly a leak sealer added using special equipment.If it still doesnt work properly then it needs draining again and the venturi valve removing and checking out on the front unit.This is a specialised job for highly skilled operatives with the right equipment

We're not really over the top when it comes down to Valentine's Day, however we do generally make or buy each other a cute card or gift. This year I bought my valentines a original vintage card, I'm not sure what year it was printed but I'm guessing it's fifties. It's not really PC but I loved the cuteness.
I received a home made one:
