Rayna, thank you for opening my eyes to the spectacular beauty of dandelions. May dandelions be a reminder to you and Garrett and Allison that I will ALWAYS love you and that my love will go with you ALWAYS❤ The gardens of your hearts are beautiful bouquets,my precious children.
Love Mom
Dancing in the Dandelions
What's been happening in my life lately is simply spectacular. My physical energy has been fantastic and even this last round of chemo hasn't knocked me down like usual. And I am compelled to believe that my physical well-being is tightly linked to my spiritual well-being.
I feel "like myself", granted a new me. I am worn down from my chemo; but despite this I have a sense of feeling healthier than I've been for a very long while. And the "new me" is the one surfacing with the twins growing up a wee bit and me feeling like I'm starting to grasp what it means to be well and how to truly immerse myself in my source of strength and energy, my Father God. But I set aside my family dynamics here to focus on me. (Since it is healthy, in fact, to focus on myself as a mother, so I can refuel to love these kids which just take so very much out of Ryan and I - and I know there's many who relate to this.)
Let me focus.
In my last post I spoke of how God is teaching me to rest (and that I'm NO natural in being a student of rest). But as I trust in Him, He continues to guide me. And I truly believe that it is only by resting in God, that I will find healing (physical, emotional, spiritual).
It is a battle to find this peaceful rest. Our pastor brought to my attention the story of Jesus in the boat sleeping while a storm raged. He rested amidst the storm. And then chastises his disciples for having fear instead of faith. Jesus gives rest akin to providing sleep in a rocky boat.
This is a process. It's a major overhaul for a person who likes to cling to control. So I am patient and I trust.
One day I got thinking. (okay, so I think alot about alot of different things these days). But these thoughts started to help me uncover changes I need to introduce. Thank you Holy Spirit for giving me some practical pieces to chew on! I have a tendency to want to makes moments shiny and spectacular, especially if I feel there's a general expectation to have a shiny and spectacular moment like a birthday, anniversary, trip, etc. It doesn't sit well with me that even birthday's can bomb and anniversaries can feel dull. So when presented with a life-threatening illness the expectation I placed upon myself to make moments shiny and spectacular, was HUGE. And yes, I continue to absolutely love celebrating life and celebrating within life; but, not ever single moment can be a momentous celebration. That simply is not life. Ordinary life is where life is really lived – at least in its majority. So, I am freed from the expectation of creating something grand, so that I can LIVE.
I felt Jesus say, "I AM, so just be."
It's simple, it's beautiful, it's what I needed to hear. It's back to the Martha story in Luke 10. She's flitting about and ticked at her sister for not helping but instead sitting at Jesus' feet. I remember still as a teen reading this and being like, "really Mary just sitting there is doing the right thing?!" (I guess this should have given me a clue to where I could work on myself, but really didn't until now)
"I am, so just be."
And then I read the quote (In that crazy sexy cancer survivor book) that "during the time of the darkest night act as if the morning has already come." That sounds like…. faith. So my secular book is telling me to have FAITH. And I've been reading in Luke and Luke 18 has all this talk of faith and faith like a child and persistent faith. And then verse 27 says, "What is impossible from a human perspective is possible with God." This whole 'faith' topic gets a little confusing to me because I am just not capturing this, it feels mind boggling.
Then Luke 18 resurfaces and I am reminded to have faith like a child. Children who believe anything is possible. Children who rest well as they know they are cared for, loved, nurtured and safe. Children who believe they can do anything if they believe.
It's like a billboard: Faith like a child is how we find rest.
So my journey continues and I seek out faith like a child.
Today Rayna came home from a walk with the nanny and she had a crown of dandelions on her head. I am stopped. Read my blog from last May about being stuck in the dandelions, aptly titled Stuck in the Dandelion Field to see, here is an excerpt to help you capture my perspective:
You see my life right now is a dandelion field. Rayna loves to stop and pick dandelions when we're out for a walk and right now there are fields of them. My Dad commented about our dandelions when he was visiting here, "you have such a beautiful province; but you sure don't like to get rid of your dandelions do you?" They are an eyesore to him and he can't believe our city doesn't spray them. It doesn't aesthetically bother me that there is an overgrowth of dandelions along the sidewalks and in the fields and on unkempt lawns. But they have certainly annoyed me. When we go to the playground or to the river for a walk it takes FOREVER because Rayna stops for all the seeding flowers. And when I tell her, "no more dandelions" I can see her writhing inside that she has to resist the almost uncontrollable urge to pick and blow them. Sometimes we do need to get going so we can get home before the twins have a melt-down; but often it's just me. I feel the need to get to the playground if that's where we've said we're going, to get "unstuck", if you will. However, it is in the dandelions that Rayna is having fun and experiencing the simple joys of a flower that others call a weed. It is more fun to her than going down a slide or actually making it to the scenic river trail.
(May 2016)
Oh to see a crown of dandelions on Rayna's head! (for I called it a headband and was promptly corrected; and indeed a crown is perfect.)
Dandelions: Isn't the naked beauty of life most present in the blessings that just pop up. Not planted, not tended. Most call them weeds and rush, oh how we rush, to get through them, past them, out of this season that has our city blossoming in brilliant, radiant, carefree yellow. This year I pause. I smile. I celebrate. The crown atop my gorgeous daughter's head befits my little queen and my breath becomes intentional because I am deeply present in this moment. My life is in blossoming with dandelions and for that, I praise God.
Indeed, in the dandelions is where life is lived. And I'm finally starting to see it's beauty. As I release my adult notions and expectations and broken expectations. And this is exactly where Jesus wants me. Enjoying the simple pleasures of life, not needing them to be grand, and believing with faith like a child.
From here the journey is one step at a time. I'm always expecting (wanting) a point by point 5 year plan, but here God speaks, "the future looks bright, ah it's looks spectacular if you just walk with me moment by moment, day by day, year by year." And I feel like I can breathe, because all that is asked of me in this moment is what this moment demands: my presence.

Christian mysticism
My spiritual counselor (highly recommended by friends I deeply trust) roots herself in Christian mysticism. I'll be honest this term 'Christian mystic' had me feeling uneasy. So I went reading more about it to ease my mind and soul. I came across this gem of a quote by CS Lewis that I'd like to share:
Discovering spirituality is like discovering you are in a boat. Mysticism is like pushing off from the dock. Since many leave safe mooring and perish in the waves, this is not to be done in a cavalier fashion - even though it can be exciting to push off into the deep.
The issue is not of whether we should push off, for Christians must do so as well if they intend to get anywhere (and that is what boats are for), but rather of where you are going...The Christian casts off from this world as well, but with clear intent to where he is headed, with the best of maps, circumspectly, deliberately.
The Christian Mystic arrives, against all dangers and odds. Thus we launch out with fear and trembling, but trust that He who commanded us to do so can calm the waves, and see us through to His real, safe port.
- C.S. Lewis

Update - April 21, 2017
It has been a long while since I've provided a basic update of how I am doing.
Chemo Round 3 is complete (on Easter Monday)! This means I am halfway through my chemo. My chemo was delayed one week this last round due to low platelets. In round 2 they increased my dose 30%; but put it back down for round 3 and going forward. The lower dose seems to prevent my mind from feeling so fuzzy that I can't think clearly, so I am certainly ok with the lower dose. AND I don't want any future delays as that will push my chemo treatments further into summer (originally last chemo was scheduled July 3, now will be July 10) as vacation starts July 16!!!
The 2 weeks preceding this last round I felt really fantastic. I've formulated a plan to play soccer in fall and am (slowly) working to get there and it seems feasible!
I greatly appreciate the HUGE outpouring of support through the meal/helping hands train my friend set up. I was feeling really good since my chemo was delayed; but this allowed me to really focus on being fully well – body, mind, and spirit, as well as to simply enjoy family time without fretting over dinner. And I didn't feel anxious about our nanny being away that week. Thank you so much, I feel so hugely blessed!!!! And on that note, here's a HUGE shout out of thanks, envision balloons and streamers and flowers of thanks, to my GP, Cameron Ross and all the doctors at Crossroads Family Practice. They have paid for one month of meals for my family from Elevated Meals, a local healthy meal delivery service!!! Isn't this just the most fantastic outpouring of health-giving support? Thank you docs for caring about all facets of my health, I am blessed to be your patient!
As I mentioned in a previous post my last MRI showed a small enhancement. What this means is questionable and only my next scan (at the end of May) will tell us more. But as my oncologist says, the MRI only tells you part of the story, the other part is how I am feeling – and overall, I am feeling great!
My Aunt has been praying that Garrett "sleep in" --- you know past . This is a huge piece in our family's life. For the most part my wake-ups are being pushed back to and usually a couple times a week a bit later! Keep praying for sleep for this family! Oh, what a difference sleep makes! As I seek out soulful rest, pray that there would also be physical rest in our house this spring as we round out of cough and cold season.

Cards of Thanks - part 1
Praise be to God for my comrades and co-survivors:
My husband, Ryan. My brilliant, wise, and optimistic partner. It's been hard, for you, for me, for us. It must have been tempting to run away, our family was crazy, crazy, crazy. Thank you for sticking it out, learning by my side, and championing bringing humor and celebration into my life. I love you dearly.
My kids. They keep me going, both literally (exhaustingly), and emotionally, praise God for Rayna's complements, Garrett's smiles, and Allison's snuggles.
My Mom. There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for my Mom, a cancer survivor, twice over, herself. I continue to have much to learn from my Mom and thank God for a first-hand role model of mothering well. I want to write a book of the women of impact in my life, my Mom is top of that list!
My Dad. Seeing and knowing and hearing how much my Dad loves me, respects me, and believes in me is exactly what a daughter longs for. Thank you, Dad. I love you too and appreciate your visits and watching you play right on the floor with your grandkids. You inspire me to keep giving you reasons to proudly say, "that's my girl!"
My mother in law, Phyllis. I think particularly to those initial days of diagnosis and how much you did for my twins. And you continue to love and support me and our kids. Thank you. Your willingness to help and watch the kids and love on the kids is evident in the unparalleled relationship you have with our kids and is absolutely a major reason our family is able to thrive even in difficulty. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My Father in law, Gerry. Thank you for being willing to enable Ryan and I time away, by helping with the kids. And for being a major support to Ryan.
Josh and Cassie (my Brother in law and Sister in law) . Thank you for your compassionate, genuine concern. It's palpable that you care about us deeply and that has blessed us. Thank you for loving our kids, we are so grateful our children have you for auntie and uncle. Thank you Cassie for making time to make Rayna feel so special by doing her hair fancy. It means a lot to me that you take that time and I know no matter my energy level, my girls have an auntie able to help them see their beauty inside and out.
Jason and Carmen (my sister and Brother-in-law). Thank you for your visiting, and Jason, for enabling Carmen to come out for a couple of days without your kids. There's nothing quite like a sister to visit and do whatever comes up that needs to be done. Thank you for praying. Thank you for calling. Thank you for showing me what calm within chaos looks like!
Connect Group through
Phenomenal Support network here. These
couples as (mostly) strangers sought us out to give us support and then
embraced us. We are really learning what
living in community means through these relationships. It's incredible. Thank you: Chris &
Vicky, Dave & Crystal, Shawn & Andrea, Gavin & Rebecca, Kelly &
Karina. First
Ave Church
Girls Group: My like-minded friends committed to Jesus and to supporting one another whatever that looks like at that particular time. Carmen, Vicky, Sarah, Rachel, Jocelyn : you girls are absolutely my comrades and co-survivors and never forget it!!!!!
Learning to rest and a note for my comrades - YOU!
I enter my retreat zone and immediately the tension that was wound within me begins to unravel and I feel the call to prayer. I've been restless. I feel God telling me that this is a season to learn how to really rest in Him, and at the same time I feel an increasing restlessness. This restlessness crosses through out many aspects of my life: restless feelings of thinking of my career again, restless feelings regarding being a demanded upon mom of small kids, restless feelings about my treatment plan and my chemo plan – its so hard to put this chemical into my body when I know it is so toxic.
I am antsy. I am getting bored, I'll be honest. And I think this is partly because I feel God prepping something so big within and through me. My powerful and mighty and awesome God has a spectacular plan for me.
And right now, in that plan is to learn to
s l o w
d o w n.
To learn to rest. And it is hard.
Because I am learning that to really rest, to really have true health in all capacities (spiritual, physical, mental, emotional) so I can rest requires me to open up my fists that are clenched so tight in control of whatever I can possibly grasp to control. My husband saw it before I did. I demand a lot of myself and hence of others. It is hard to release this. To open up my fists and cup my hands to be able to receive. To raise my arms in true surrender. Oh, it is not natural.
I want to learn to breathe.
I want to learn the unforced rhythms of grace
I want to be free as Jesus promises.
And I have so much to learn. So much sin that entangles me that I have to learn how to throw off so I can run and dance and prance as God intended.
Matthew 19:24New Living Translation (NLT)
24 I'll say it again—it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the
!" Kingdom of God
I've been reading Deuteronomy and God warns over and over to the Israelites that once they enter the promised land not to forget, not to forget, not to forget what God has done for them. How? Intentionally remembering.
Oh how rich I am. (And this is not necessarily bad – but does absolutely require generosity and responsibility of me). And oh how easily I forget.
I have so much to learn. And yet the beautiful thing is that this wisdom of Jesus' is both unparalleled and it is open to everyone. In fact, it's inclusivity is a large part of what defines it.
Cancer has thrust me into ugly places. It has forced me to question and evaluate – everything. It has searched out my dark corners, my rotten garbage, and given glorious insight along the way. I am empowered (you had better believe that I am a cancer SURVIVOR!!!) and at the same time humbled.
Trust me that I am taking EVERY gift that cancer is giving me. And trust me, there are indeed many. I browsed through a book called "Crazy, Sexy Cancer Survivor." In this book the author calls her support, her "posse", her co-survivors. YOU, are my co-survivors, though I prefer to call you comrades (as it reflects the battle we are in which I spoke of last post). None of us ought ever to live in homes, secluded from those around us. We are created and meant to live in community. It's the only way we can truly survive and thrive. And it is exemplified in the enormity of the support network I have garnered through YOU my comrades. YOU are supporting me so I am free to learn how to rest, so I am able to regain all aspects of my health (which I believe are completely intertwined as purposely designed by our Creator).
I am beginning to write out those who have blessed me, to publicly acknowledge my comrades. I am abundantly thankful. Yet in initiating this task I am floored by the enormity of the list and realize this is not a simple project. So here again, I am simply brought to reiterate, THANK YOU.
Its a battlefield
I'm bubbling over here, my friends! What a few weeks I've had. God is speaking. God is moving. God is mighty. And thank God, because it's a battlefield out there. As you read my words remember that I struggle daily, just like you. Indeed, my personal battle is waged daily in my heart and in my mind just as much as in my body.
This past week I've been feeling top-notch. We've had so much support that I can just focus on being WELL even with our nanny away. Thank you!!! (Insert jazzy hands right here). I am in a season where God is speaking to me that I need to learn how to rest. Like really rest. I am still clinging, grasping, clenching onto the control of what is left in my control. I need to release it. It is biblical and it is good for my health in all capacities to do so. I am fighting this notion of rest. I will share what I journalled this morning; but, I also want to let you know some background turmoil in my soul. I had my MRI Monday, saw my oncologist Tuesday. His impression, though he clearly stated he was awaiting the radiologist's report, was no tumor growth. Then today I got the call back: a small area of "enhancement". My doctor's impression is that this enhancement is residual swelling from the radiation, particularly given my fantastic well-being. (My friend's impression is that 'enhancement' means I now have a superpower! ;) I knew this scan could give ambiguous results since swelling can't be differentiated from tumor growth; however, it was still unnerving to hear these results.
After hearing the results emotion ensued, a conversation with Ryan occurred, Ryan prayed and followed it up with a "chin-up, live life fully no matter what it throws at you" pep talk. And here I am evermore empowered and emboldened to share my heart, my life, my learning.
It's a battlefield out there people. It's a war zone. Satan is trying to steal our joy. I firmly believe he is and he is waging the war starting in our minds. Our minds are a powerhouse when properly fitted for battle. So let's fit them properly!
Ephesians 6:10-18New Living Translation (NLT)
The Whole Armor of God
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we[a] are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.[b] 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.[c] 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.[
Put on your armor!!!! My friends, you who love Jesus, PUT ON YOUR ARMOR! Put this armor on so you can be equipped to really love as we are called to do. My comrades, its going to be a hard battle. The battle for a fulfilled life is not an easy one. I get it. At least I'm starting to. In Matthew 7 Jesus tells us, 13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a]that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few."
I let Jesus' words speak for themselves because they are clear and wise. I exhort you to seek out their wisdom. You see, we all have numbered days. Cancer clarifies and highlights this in my life. (I hope you don't have to have cancer to clearly see this.) I remind you again that we're in a battle. We have numbered days. We need to make them count. We need to throw off the junk. That's the sin that so easily entangles us that Hebrews 12 talks about: pride, control, fear etc. (those are my life examples). Throw them off and claim truth! Say truth outloud (mine right now is from Joshua 1:9 – through out the day I say outloud "I am strong, I am courageous, God is with me wherever I go.") Say it outloud so you believe it. Say it outloud so Satan can know he can scram! (There's a cotton patch version of Matthew and it has Jesus say "Scram satan" when Satan is tempting him. I love it.)
I believe right now I am to be in a season of rest. It is a training ground allowing space for passions to incubate. You are my comrades here. I encourage you to join me. My friend stated the other night that he wished for the personal, internal, spiritual growth he hears me speak of, without the cancer part. I hear you! And that is why I embrace you all in my journey. That is why I fight the notion that I don't necessarily have anything profoundly new to say; and rather share with you my experiences. That is why I say: "Lean into Jesus with me like you have never done before. Throw off the junk and let's see God move spectacularly, profoundly, majestically, supernaturally – (there's not one word to describe it)!!!"

Book Review from the February 1996 issue of the Socialist Standard
William Morris in Manchester and Salford by Edmund and Ruth Frow, Working Class Movement Library, Salford. £2.50.
William Morris was an indefatigable speaker and writer for Socialism over the last thirteen or so years of his life. Many of his speeches were reproduced as articles or pamphlets, and essays such as Useful Work vs. Useless Toil and How We Live and How We Might Live (the latter republished by the Socialist Party) are well worth reading today. Manchester was one of many towns he visited as a speaker for the Social Democratic Federation and Socialist League.
Morris's first visit to Manchester was in 1882, but as a businessman not a Socialist. His first furnishing and designing company took part in an exhibition, and this was successful enough for them to open a shop, first in John Dalton Street and later in Albert Square, though this did not last long. By the time he came in 1883 to speak at the Manchester Royal Institution, Morris was a Socialist, and his theme, that riches meant corresponding poverty and slavery, was not popular among the local capitalists. His subsequent visits were to speak to working-class audiences, especially in Ancoats, the world's first industrial suburb. From 1884 to 1894, Morris spoke almost every year at the Ancoats Brotherhood, an institution founded to provide leisure and educational opportunities for working people. He spoke out of doors too, in Albert Square, and, on what was almost his last visit, to a crowd of two thousand at Trafford Bridge in Salford. His favourite talk, apparently, was on "Monopoly", an explanation r of the labour theory of value.
This pamphlet, though expensive at 28 pages (9p a page!), is well illustrated, and gives a useful and vivid account of Morris's activities in the north-west.

Strong bidding, low yields at auction
This building at 60-62 Mokoia Rd, Birkenhead, occupied by a stationery shop and a laundromat at street level, sold for $2.3m. Photo / Supplied
Properties offering future development or add-value opportunities generated strong competition at Bayleys' latest Total Property auction in Auckland.
Low yields also continue to be a feature of the market with seven out of nine tenanted properties selling at capitalisation rates of less than five per cent.
Attracting some of the strongest bidding were two adjoining properties in Lake Rd, Takapuna, which sold to separate purchasers at a total value of $7.65m.
A 321sq m two-level building on an 888sq m site at 398 Lake Rd sold for $4.04m at a 4.08 per cent yield through Ranjan Unka, Tonia Robertson and Ashton Geissler of Bayleys North Shore Commercial. The Skin Institute has occupied the premises since 1994 and recently renewed its lease until September 2023, with three further three-year rights of renewal.
The neighouring property at 400 Lake Rd, Takapuna, encompassing a 272sq m split-level character residential building converted for commercial use on an 890sq m site, sold for $3.61m at a 2.65 per cent yield through Robertson, Unka and Bayleys North Shore colleague Terry Kim. It is fully leased to well established law firm Turner Hopkins with 5.5 years to run on its lease term.
Unka says both properties have flexible Mixed Use zonings under the Unitary Plan which enhances their future development appeal.
"The property at 398 Lake Rd has the potential to add residential accommodation with sea views on top of its commercial base, while the next-door property has longer term potential for multi-level redevelopment."
Another Takapuna property described as having future development and rental growth upside, also sold at a sub 5 per cent yield. At 58-60 Jutland Rd, it has a 398sq m two-level building with a mixture of commercial and residential tenancies on a 371sq m site zoned Neighbourhood Centre which provides potential to increase the lettable area by taking advantage of the 13m height limit.
With three ground floor retail units, anchored by a superette, and two flats above, it sold for $2.09m at a 4.79 per cent yield through Adam Curtis, Damian Stephen and Nick Howe-Smith of Bayleys North Shore Commercial.
Leased to Pine Harbour Motorsport Museum, this 40 Ninth View Ave, Beachlands, showroom building, sold for $1.65m. Photo / Supplied
Also selling on the Shore for $2.3m at a 5.65 per cent yield, was a fully leased 744sq m building on 405sq m site at 60-62 Mokoia Rd, Birkenhead. Occupied by a stationery shop and a laundromat at street level and a kickboxing gym in basement area, it was sold shortly after auction by Michael Nees and Nick Howe-Smith, Bayleys North Shore Commercial.
Nees says the site's Town Centre zoning allowing buildings up to 21m offers potential to make the most of the property's sought after ridgeline location which provides panoramic views of the CBD and harbour.
Two properties zoned Terrace Housing & Apartment Building, the most intensive residential development zone under the Auckland Unitary Plan, also sold under the hammer at the Total Property auction.
A 538sq m site at 360 Onehunga Mall, Onehunga with a 341sq m building constructed in 2010 including a ground floor liquor store and four-bedroom residential accommodation above sold for $1.96m at a 4.78 per cent yield through Ken Lu, Damien Bullick and Alan Haydock, Bayleys Auckland.
A 1416sq m site at 40 Ninth View Ave, Beachlands, opposite the entranceway to Pine Harbour marina, with a modern 640sq m single-level showroom building, sold for $1.65m through Nick Bayley, Dave Stanley, Bayleys Auckland. It is leased to the Pine Harbour Motorsport Museum and is producing net annual holding income of $36,443.
A high-stud warehouse and office building at 25 Walls Rd, Penrose sold for $2,305,000. Photo / Supplied
Other properties to sell at the Auckland auction included:
- A 702sq m high stud warehouse and office building on a 1037sq m Light Industry zoned site at 25 Walls Rd, Penrose, sold for $2,305,000 at a 4.61 per cent yield through Mike Adams and Phil Haydock of Bayleys Auckland. There is a new six-year lease to a well-established import and distribution tenant.
- Two adjoining clearspan warehouse and office units totaling 1012 sq m on a 2100sq m site at 46 Neilpark Drive, East Tamaki sold for $2.65m through Katie Wu, John Bolton and Roy Rudolph of Bayleys South Auckland. A short-term leaseback of both units to the vendor will provide holding income of $110,000pa net.
- A 30 sq m single-level medical clinic on a 998sq m site at 766 Great South Rd, Penrose, sold for $1,650,000 at a 6.11 per cent yield through Tony Chaudhary and Janak Darji of Bayleys South Auckland; and James Hill and James Chan of Bayleys Auckland. Tenants include a GP, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and accountant.
- Two units totalling 280sq m in a retail complex off Lincoln Rd at 42 Paramount Drive, Henderson, sold with vacant possession for $1,408,000 through David Han and Terry Kim of Bayleys North Shore Commercial; and Matt Lee of Bayleys Auckland. The premises are consented for restaurant use.

Spiritual Laugh? What? Yeah I said it. I am a deeply spiritually person. I believe that people are meant to come into your life to show you things. But really universe? You're gonna do this now. Now at the end of all my trials and tribulations this year, you are going to throw me a man that absolutely loves me and throw me a man that absolutely GETS me. Hardy Har Har!
We all want something. I want to walk into a restaurant and see people having an actual conversation without looking at their phones ONCE. I want 8 track tapes back. I want Betamax back. I want kids to play with a stick and a rock in the yard in the damn mud. I want to make a mix tape. Yes hold a tape recorder up to the radio and confess my love with some sappy love songs. I want Saturday morning cartoons with Looney Tunes. Good ole Bugs going to Alburquerque outsmarting WILE E. COYOTE SUPER GENIUS. I want to chat online without seeing a penis. Have you tried online dating? Omg what a mess that is.
You know Jesus wouldn't have gotten very far if he didn't crack a smile. BUDDY CHRIST! How YOU doin? You know I am a free spirit. Sexually, intellectually, emotionally. Mostly sexually. Yeah I SAID it. There was a quote that comes to mind when I think about my current relationship. It comes from Lord of the Rings. When Aragorn asks Eowyn what she is afraid of. "A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire." I do not want to be that. I fear that. I told my friend I was bipolar. I am so extreme beyond the poles with my mood shifts. He said. "are you really? What you call extreme I call spiritually free. When you get really low it is your spirit, your being, your essence telling you something is wrong. And when you get high you fly, fly higher beyond anything in this universe. What most people consider "extreme" is normal for you. You are beyond what society views as "balance". What most people consider is balance doesn't apply to people like us because we are free."
I thought about this greatly. And asked myself what it all means. Was he right? Or is this just one big joke. Is my spiritual self sitting back looking at me laughing going "YOU IDIOT!!" Universe are you laughing at me. Are you showing me that I need to not restrain myself because of my insecurities. To settle for one foot in the grave at the age of 35, or experience what I have waited my whole life for. I dabbled in polygamy a while back. Was I on the right track? Can I love more than one man? Or am I just bipolarly confused? Was this a test? Who gets all the answers. What if there are no guarantees. Just spiritual laughs. Hmm something to ponder.
Stay tuned.

His mother tongue is Marathi but he has authored and significantly contributed t0 54 books in Kannada language. Dr Sarju Katkar needs no introduction to the people of Belgaum. He is one of the celebrated journalists in the city who brought the first English daily to Belgaum through Indian Express. He was born in Hubli and pursued PHD in Kannada, Marathi and Dalit literature from Dharwad University. He joined Samyukta Karnataka as a first staff reporter, also the first Staff Reporter for Indian Express in 1981 in Belgaum. For journalists, it's a dream come true to break stories that shake the govt. He has been fortunate enough to have lived many such experiences. He recollects his bygone by narrating the KPCC President, Koujalgi's bribery case story (where he had managed to get hold of a CD that documented the President's taking bribe from a person) which he followed until the President was made to quit from his post. Interestingly, he is also a poet who has written 12 poems and translated poems from Gujarati, Malayalam and Urdu. In fact, one of his poems was taught in MA, "One of my Professors was teaching my poem to me only," he quipped. He also considers himself very fortunate to have got the opportunity to get his books published by Lohiya Prakashan from Bellary. Shivaji moola kannada nela, Sakshi, Vruthanta, Helalagada kathe are some of his books that have been well received and widely sold. He is currently serving Indian Express as a Principal Correspondent.
Excerpts from the interview:
1) Do you believe in God?
I don't believe in God. Work is worship for me. I see God in nature, in a flower, in the flowing water… Basvanna is God for me. I remember how there were ten Lingayats in the class but only my friend Ramzan and I had chosen Veerashaiva literature. I am proud that I have read Basvanna literature. Recently, I have also started believing in Shirdi Sai Baba due to some personal experiences.
2) Do you peform pooja?
I worship my parents. At our house we do pooja of our parents and seek their blessings. After I wake up in the morning and before I sleep I join hands to my parents and pray. My wife performs pooja and I don't object. I also visit temples with her.
3) How were you as a child?
As a kid, I was very God fearing. It was when I started reading a lot. I believed that God is created by man. In most of my poems, the nucleus has always been a human which explains how we have named everything like, Krishna, the sun, and the moon.
4) Which is your favorite festival?
Everyday is a festival for me. What I understand from the significance of the festivals is that, it's either the celebration of the victory of Aryans or Dravidians.
5) What is your opinion on other religions?
I have friends who are Muslims, Christians and I have never experienced any discrimination. I believe that, in India we Hindus should protect the Muslims and in Pakistan, the Muslims should protect the Hindus. We should understand that the one who is dying due to terrorism is a human being and not a Muslim or a Hindu.
6) What do you have to say about the Kannada-Marathi conflict in Belgaum?
The Kannada and Marathi culture are the same. Both Maratha and a Kannadiga bring home a Ganesha in Belgaum. Even the food habits are similar. The differences are created by the two states, it's a political issue. I am a Maratha and I have not experienced any discrimination here


text: Hi, greetings from the freshest newbie here (I suppose). Ok, first I'd like to provide you guys with some of my background info: I'm definitely one of the ultimate noobs out there in the Wii modding and homebrew scene, hence my virtually nonexistent knowledge of the whole thing. Though, as expected, I still managed to softmod my Wii by thoroughly following the most obvious and helpful CompleteSoftmodGuide and so far I have not encountered any problem installing anything. Until now. I've been trying to get VBAGX installed but to no avail. I downloaded and tried the official package from the site. Apparently the homebrew did get installed (using HBC), and a new channel popped up in the channel grid. Upon opening that the installer came up again saying (sort of) 'apparently VBAGX is already installed, do you want to uninstall it?'. Due to my limited knowledge, it went nowhere after this despite many trial and error. My guess is that the installation did not really procede when I actually tried to install the thing, it just kind of added a new hollow channel into the grid. Further inspection revealed that indeed no new file was added into the VBAGX folder. I tried googling and surprisingly found only one guy who encountered the same problem. The suggested solution was to 'install IOS58'. That bit once again confused me since I already checked: my HBC version is 1.1.2 running on IOS58 v24.32 (what is shown in the upper right corner of the HBC menu), so I suppose I must indeed already have a suitable IOS version... Right? So yeah, any help would be much appreciated. I'd love to get the problem solved as soon as possible, as heroes cannot wait any further to battle the final big boss on my huge ass CRT screen. Just please spare me the most sophisticated jargon as much as possible. Huge thanks! EDIT: would anybody recommend putting the folder of a properly installed version of VBAGX that I'd theoretically be able to snatch from somebody else? Since technically the homebrew is already 'installed', would that work? I'm also fiddling around with RetroArch. Could somebody please enlighten me on how good it actually is compared to VBAGX?

Times Record: Aug 27? (July 17, 2013)
August 27?
We're sure there must be good reasons at the state level for rushing the date of a special election for the open Senate District 19 seat so it occurs on a nondescript Tuesday at the end of August.
But those reasons allow only two weeks for party-nominated candidates to register with the state, then only four weeks to run a campaign in which they boast their qualifications to represent one of Maine's most diverse districts in a closely divided, partisan chamber.
Is it to save money? No, this is a standalone election. Dovetailing it with the traditional November poll would have saved money, by reducing the costs municipalities must bear to stage an election.
Is it to expedite attendance in a key committee or panel at the State House? Obviously not. The Legislature adjourned last week.
We've been to midsummer Town Meetings and seen their dwindling attendance. It's a place where government is at its most direct, and where budgets and social issues are often decided by a few votes. These meetings are always swung by an impassioned citizen and a few of his or her friends who dare to hold out through the entire warrant in a sweltering school gym, usually on a Saturday in the summer.
Is this what we want for Senate District 19? The campaign is too important to take place over four weeks. We'll barely hear a peep out of those who work day jobs (and those are invariably the people we want to see serving). Money will flood in in a cacaphony of ads and lawn signs and jammed into a timeframe so short most voters may not be able to discern — or care — who said what.
The debunked allegations of voter fraud and the temporary abolition of same-day registration aside, Maine prides itself on its voter conduct. Its turnout for midterm elections — 55 percent in 2012 — was the nation's highest, according to the United State Election Project.
But four weeks? For a key state Senate race with at least four eminently qualified candidates? Seems like a disservice to the voters of Dresden and Sagadahoc County — and perhaps to Republicans.
Why Republicans? Recall 2012, down the coast a ways, to Senate District 20, where Democrat Chris Johnson beat Republican Dana Dow in a traditionally Republican district after a campaign that lasted … four weeks. Dow said he didn't hit the trail until Jan. 11 — four weeks before the Feb. 14 election — and blamed his defeat, at lest in part, on the short campaign.
Only 27 percent of eligible Massachusetts voters cast a ballot in a recent special election for U.S. Senate — a record low that shows how voters feel about midterm and special elections, even in high-stakes races like that one.
We'll certainly do our part to educate voters, beginning with Monday's profile by reporter Larry Grard of Democratic candidate Eloise Vitelli and continuing this week and next with profiles of David Sinclair, Will Neilson, Paula Benoit and whomever is selected as the Green Independent.
But it looks like only a handful of us is going to choose our next state senator, sending them to Augusta to join one of the most cantankerous sessions in recent years.
That's not our idea of democracy. The right move would have been to set the date on traditional Election Day, in November.

A favorite meal for the kiddos is making there own pizza! They love being able to decorate it! Plus it takes about 20-30 minutes to put together then 20-25 minutes to cook, so it's a great quick meal!
Pizza Dough Recipe (old Betty Crocker recipe)
1 Tablespoon active dry Yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil (I use canola or olive, whichever of the two I have on hand)
2 1/2 cups Flour
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in remaining ingredients; beat vigorously 20 strokes. Let rest 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
I then broke the dough into 4 pieces and pressed them into 4 good sized personal pizzas.
I topped them with spaghetti sauce, then let the kids put on some mozzarella, pepperoni, black olives and a little Colby jack cheese. Then I sprinkled on some Italian seasoning and a little parmesan.
Pop the pizzas in the oven for 20-30 minutes depending on how done you like your pizzas and voila! You have delectable homemade pizza!

Child porn video, made in australia, search for child, help..
by blackout 9 Replies latest watchtower child-abuse
this is her picture if anyone recognises her they should call the phone number.
here is the story:
Australian police have uncovered video footage through UK authorities showing a young girl being sexually and physically assaulted by a middle-aged man.
The identities of the girl, believed to be aged between nine and ten with dark hair, or the man are unknown, but police called for public assistance in tracking down the pair.
Background scenery of the Australian bush and a magazine captured in the footage had led police to believe the film was made somewhere in NSW or Victoria.
NSW Police Child Protection Squad Detective Sergeant Peter Yeomans told Channel Nine's A Current Affair police were desperate to find the girl who could be in extreme danger.
"This has came about from an incident in the UK and it absolutely is just a terrible situation where a child is being abused both physically and sexually and even to a point I would say torturing," Det Yeomans said.
He also said it appeared the girl and the man were quite familiar with each other, indicating they may be related.
"From the audio from the video clips it appears that they are related or at least well known to each other," Det Yeomans said.
"He may be a father or a step father or could be just a relative but it appears they know each other quite well."
He said the magazine was dated in the year 2000 but did not indicate that was when the video was shot.
Det Yeomans described the video as the worst thing he had seen in his policing career.
"With viewing the video tapes you can see that she really needs to be taken away from that situation so that we can ensure her safety," he said.
"Our concerns are that this matter is continuing and it is paramount that we find this little girl so that we can get her away from what's happening to her and make her safe.
"... I have never seen anything as bad as this."
The videotape was uncovered after English police arrested a paedophile in the UK and the Australian accents of the two had prompted authorities to contact Australian police.
"This child is very recognisable, someone out there - a teacher or a fellow student - would be able to recognise this child and contact us urgently," he said.
NSW Police said the investigation was being done by the Child Exploitation Internet Unit and asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Hope someone finds her soon
well done blackout. good idea to put it on this forum, every bit of exposure means more chance of her being recognised.
i saw the story last night on 'a current affair'................i hope they get this animal out of society and the poor little girl out of his clutches. it's very disturbing to say the least.
let's keep positive thoughts for her, that she'll soon be recognised and safe from him.
Really sad, I hope they catch this creep, and get her some help.
Big Tex
I feel physically ill.
Apparently they have found her safe with her mother who apparently knew nothing about it and will be able to help them find the guy.
So thank goodness for that.
will update with further info.
I hope when they find the guy, it turns out to be the bastard who keeps spamming me with ads for porn sites!
Glad the girl is safe.
The girl is safe, and the video is a few years old, apparently.
Abused child found safe with her mother
A young girl featured in a video showing her being sexually abused has been found safe in central Victoria.
The girl was in the care of her mother, a Victorian police spokeswoman said.
She said investigations were continuing into allegations of sexual abuse arising from video footage showing the girl being sexually and physically assaulted by a man aged in his 40s.
Hundreds of people called a hotline with information last night after the footage was aired on the national television show A Current Affair.
Australian police uncovered the video footage through UK authorities.
Earlier, a caller to talkback radio in Melbourne said the girl had been safe with her mother in a small country town in central Victoria for about six weeks.
"I know that the mother was watching television last night and discovered the child (featured) was actually hers," the caller, identified only as Janet, told 3AW.
"She was shell-shocked by the whole thing ... and called police last night."
According to the caller, the girl had travelled extensively through central Australia with "this person in question".
She said the child was now aged 10.
"My understanding is that (the video) is a couple of years old," she said.
"What I know is the child has gone with this person and another person for some periods of time over the past few years."
Meanwhile, Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon said police from three states were working together on the case.
"But given it is an investigation, I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment much further on that," Ms Nixon told reporters.
Here it is:
Man charged over child sex tape
Queensland Police have charged a man with five counts of indecently dealing with a child after he was allegedly filmed sexually abusing a young girl.
Police said the 52-year-old man was located at Mt Carbine in North Queensland on Thursday night.
He was charged with five counts of indecently dealing with a child under 12 years of age whilst in his care, and one count of making an objectionable computer game.
Police confirmed the charges in a statement this morning.
The man will face Cairns Magistrates Court later today.
A police spokeswoman said his arrest came after a three-month investigation.
Hundreds of people flooded the police CrimeStoppers hotline after footage of a middle-aged man sexually and physically abusing a young girl was aired on national television.
UK authorities uncovered the footage, which contained background scenery of the Australian bush and showed a magazine.
The footage led them to believe the film was made somewhere in NSW or Victoria.
The girl was on Thursday located safe with her mother in a central Victorian town.

Sleep On! I THINK NOT!
Today I got an email for the first time from an online spiritual information source called--beliefnet. I thought, how cool --until I opened the email. I was informed that I had a spiritual horoscope waiting for me. And that if I was interested I could contact an oracle on line. My first inclination was to ask them to stop sending me emails--but by clicking that link of course it took me to their site. How can I explain the anger that rose in my stomach as I saw Christianity placed right alongside all the religions of this world. Take your pick ----see which one will work for you. People are searching. And here i (we) sit comfortable in the fact that we've got our ticket. I know --people are hurting and they are being deceived. And I guess I wonder whether most of us would even think we have anything worthy to offer them. I mean does this Christianity thing really work?
Almost ten years ago, after being raised in a Christian family I walked away from the Lord because I figured I was so miserable that it all must be a lie. Now in my heart I knew the truth , but you know I could just not make it work. No peace or joy, My marriage was over as far as I was concerned. I had success in the working world but the rest just brought misery. My solution-- walk away from it all. And for seven years I did. I told God I did not want to have anything to do with Him and lived the way I wanted.
And then one day after I realized I was still miserable and lonely, I thought I would give God one last try. I asked Him to prove to me that what the Bible said, was truth. If I could know Him then I asked Him to reveal Himself to me. I was not prepared for the whirlwind that began. He turned my life and my heart upside down. In a good way. I began to realize that I was a lot like a certain woman in the Bible and I had been going about the whole Christian thing in the wrong way.
Does the name Martha ring a bell with anyone? That was me. I was all about being busy about doing the Christian thing. I knew so much about serving and quite a bit about the Bible. How could I help but have a lot of knowledge--my parents were in the ministry, I went to a Christian school and then went to a Christian liberal arts college. I was stuffed with Biblical knowledge. And I did love the Lord. As much as I knew I could. I had my ticket to heaven, was working for the Lord and when I got to heaven I was going to get to know Him. Wow--what a mess. I was totally missing out on the whole relationship thing.
And then one day Jesus started revealing His love to me. Oh, what a wonderful, painful day!
I was not used to the intimacy that He was asking of me. In my mind when I tried to imagine His face while i was talking to Him--I never could look Him in the eyes. I don't know if you can understand that. Now, I could picture God sitting on His throne and me as a little child running up the steps to Him and jumping in the lap of my Daddy God in Heaven. But Jesus was another thing. I could love Him so deeply but, I had a hard time receiving it. Really it was about opening myself up to Him. Would He really Love me just the way I was? What if I failed Him and hurt Him again? He was my groom --what if He was not happy with His bride? What if all the effects that this world had had on me had taken me to a place that had destroyed His love for me?
I am now almost ten years past those days. They have not been easy. But do you know that without a shadow of a doubt I Know- ---HE LOVES ME, HE REALLY LOVES ME! And most importantly I now receive that love with open arms.Sometimes the thought makes me blush. It is a little overwhelming. After all what if you found out that the most sought after being(man) in the entire universe loved you and was pursuing you! And that even in the morning when you have gotten on the scale and it says bad things about you and you look in the mirror and it says even worse things about you--He thinks you are beautiful just the way you are. He really does! He thanked God for giving you to Him as a gift. And He is standing in heaven waiting for the day the God says, Go get your bride.
Well, long winded as usual. We have been all around and back again. Is there something inside of you that a lonely person need sto know about? Then share it with a smile. Show concern for the aggravated cashier. You know what---just talk to her period. Let her know that you see her as a person. Tell her you like her hair, voice or that she is really fast at what she does and you are glad you got in her line. And ask God if he would open a door for you to talk to her. It may be nothing more than, "yeah, I know life is hard but remember God loves you". Plant the seed.
God is pursuing her to--she needs to know it.
And if you want to talk, feel free to contact me through my email address. email@example.com

Oh, girl, I am wrapping you in a big warm hug! Thank you so much for baring your soul like that...how so many women need to hear your words! I was a Martha to the Max until my dear, sweet husband began to teach me what God's unconditional love was all about. God used this man in so many, many ways in my life, and then He guided me to the greatest group of friends I could have ever asked for.
They loved me as I was, celebrated my unique qualities and taught me to be all that God made me to be, and to rejoice in the simple, yet oh, so complex fact that He loves me.
I could just squeeze the stuffins out of you, I'm so proud and puffed up to call myself your sis in Christ....
Wishin' we were neighbors, so we could do a Beth Moore study together...you'd be SO Much fun to break open the word with!!

Thank you for your sweet comments.There are so many times I wanted to talk about these things but all I had was my journals--and my pastor. That God for Godly pastors who are not afraid of a Christian woman who knows what she knows and wants to talk about it. I know some times I push his brain to the brink--but it is nice to have someone who is willing to go there.
You sound like someone I would also love to have around. Beth more she's my girl. Yesterday in group I had the girls and I fill out little questionaires on ourselves. The purpose was to have some info about yourself to give to your prayer partner. One of the questions was, Who is your heroine. They all laughed because they knew who I had put down without even seeing it. She is the mentor I prayed for for years.
It is neat that you had such a great group of women around you. My story is a little different--but God used that to bring us where we are today.
Now it is my goal to let my girls know they have a safe place to go to open their hearts up to Jesus.

Francis "Bing" Lorenzo, 82, passed away early Sunday morning (Nov. 20, 2011) in Tarpon Springs, Fla.
Francis "Bing" Lorenzo, 82, passed away early Sunday morning (Nov. 20, 2011) in Tarpon Springs, Fla.
Bing was born June 9, 1929 in Wayland, the son of Frank and Rosa (Cacciotti) Lorenzo. He grew up in Wayland and graduated from Wayland Central School.
Bing and Esther (Colegrove) were married May 7, 1949 at the home of Esther's parents in Springwater. Soon after their marriage, Bing and Esther moved to Springwater where they resided together before Esther passed away July 11, 2006. Subsequent to her passing away, Bing remained in Springwater for a few years then moved to Dansville and eventually to Florida for the past year and a half or so.
Bing's employment career was predominantly spent at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester. He was a draftsman within the engineering department retiring in 1984. Bing was a communicant of St. Joseph's Church in Wayland for many years and upon his move to Florida he was a communicant of St. Ignatius Church in Tarpon Springs. As a volunteer for the church and a skilled draftsman, he was instrumental in the design and plotting of the new St. Joseph's Cemetery.
He also loved to sing. His beautiful voice was heard by many, especially in several nursing homes and healthcare facilities in Florida. Bing and friends would travel to those facilities and perform for the residents. He also enjoyed dancing and playing golf throughout the years.
Bing was pre-deceased by his wife Esther Lorenzo; his sisters, Mary, Sarah and Christina; and his twin infant brothers, Vincent and Victor.
He is survived by his children, Ralph (Beverley) Lorenzo of DeCatur, Ga., Ronald (Bessie) Lorenzo of Rochester, Paula (Richard) Bill of Dansville, and Cindy (Michael) Saxton of Avoca; 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; brother, Lawrence (Edwina) Lorenzo of Penfield; sisters, Bettina Rinz of New Jersey, and Olga Hoag of North Carolina; along with several nieces and nephews.

Perhaps the main reason for the response in #2 ie "You Are Too Kind to the BN Government" is that most of my readers come from malaysiakini and people who read it tend to be anti-BN?
That could also explain the low score for #5.
Maybe if readers suggest what they would like me to write about, I will try to oblige!

This is the photo that started it all.
I posted this to my Facebook wall (using Instagram, of course) to show the cute pillow that Lindsey made for Dax. She made it at her after-school program, and he actually uses it.
A high school classmate that I'm Facebook friends with immediately commented that she wanted one for her dog, also a Boston Terrier. She offered to pay Lindsey to make it.
Lindsey already had more material from her program to work on another pillow. "She doesn't have to pay me," Lindsey said, "Have her make a donation."
"To where?" I asked.
"To Gillette, of course."
Lindsey's generous spirit continues to amaze me.
My friend sent me her postal address, and away Lindsey went.
The pillow was complete in just a few short days, and as of today it will be in the mail.
Of course I had to tweet this photo, which was retweeted by Gillette. Who knows who will see it and be inspired to do something like this to benefit Gillette or their favorite charity.
In conclusion, a high school classmate of mine whom I would ordinarily never be in touch with will be receiving a puppy pillow made by a girl she's never met, and will make a donation to a hospital she otherwise would have never heard of. What are the next good deeds that will come out of this chain of events?

I have been a bit negligent and not provided a whole bunch of information about the Louisiades so before I go further with our trip here is a bit of background info.
The Louisiades is a chain of islands lying 100 nautical miles east of 'mainland' PNG with the Solomon Islands lying to the east. The Louisiades comprise sand cays, lagoon reefs, limestone outcrops (uplifted coral reefs) and continental islands. With abundant coral reefs there is snorkelling, diving and fishing galore. There are skull caves. hills to climb, coral cays to explore, mangrove lined creeks, coconut shaded trees to sit under.
The people of Louisiades are Melanesian and are very warm and friendly. They are exceptionally welcoming to yachts and will paddle out to say a welcoming hello and of course to trade their local produce and crafts for other items not readily available in the Louisiades.
The locals look similar to the folk of the rest of PNG (and for that matter the Solomons, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and to some extent Fiji!). There are three main languages spoken by people in different areas in the Louisiades, Misima-Paneati, Nimoa and Sudest. Whilst Pidgin is often spoken throughout PNG in the Louisiades the majority of people speak their local language and English.
Life in the Louisiades is simple and unburdened by the ownership of many material possessions. Many place are completely self sufficient and have little need for money. The economy of many islands is not based on cash and the only use for such would be a long trip on a sailing canoe to a trade store
Many folk live in villages, which are home to any number of families from a few to a few hundred. The villages have no formal or traditional chiefly system, but every island has a Councilor, who forms part of the local government. Most villages have a church where the locals practice Christianity.
The sailing canoe (Sailau) is the main form of transport for locals to get around the Louisiades. These are hand crafted from trees growing on Paneati.
5 & 6 October
Since we had such a nice stay in Bagaman last time we decided that it would be a good place to spend a few more nights before moving on to Misima. After some discussions with the other rally yachts anchored in Bagaman we headed off on a walk firstly up to hill to the north east of the anchorage which s the place of worship for the local villages. It was a pretty windy morning and even more so once we got to the top of the hill but the views up there made it all worthwhile. We then made our way across to the other side of the island which has another village (sorry cannot remember the name of this one) and we went for a long stroll along the beach before heading back to the yacht for an afternoon of some serious R&R. Team Leyla joined us for sundowners at five on the aft deck and after some high power bartering we ended up with an excellent trade where we ended up with a very nice bottle of red in exchange for a 6 pack of Gordon's G&T
|View of anchorage at Bagaman from Worship Hill
|Sailau Ride
After the sail we were all so full of beans we decided to go for one last snorkel at Bagaman and headed over to the east side of the bay and found some lovely coral and plenty of fish which kept us entertained for a good hour or more. Amazing how much time one can spend with one's head under the water looking at fish and coral especially when the water is a balmy 28oC
7 October
|Misima Market
Today is when we head for the big smoke of Misima. As it is a fair hike (~30NM) all the yachts had the same idea and got up early for the trip across. As it was a good sailing breeze we all made good time and ended up having to slow down to give Guy on Sanctuary enough time to arrange things before the fleet arrived. Misima is where we finally get to clear customs and quarantine. As we can't get off the boat until clearing we get to entertain ourselves on-board for a while until we get clearance at around 6pm but finally we get to put pull down the Quarantine Flag and officially put up the PNG flag (despite the fact that we have had both up for the duration of the rally to date).

The local kids were keen to help us get our load of Pem Pewa gifts back to the boat so we ended up with a what must have looked like a scene from the Pied Piper as we all wandered back down the main street to the dinghy wharf. After much sorting and negotiations we eventually made it back to the boat for a clean up and also a sorting of the Pem Pewa gifts - you wont imagine how much fresh fruit and how many baskets we ended up with and were lucky enough to be able to give some of these goodies to some locals as we were never going to get through it all. After a bit of a break we are on the move again and this time off to the Guest House for a yummy dinner and auction. As with many of the activities on the program they are aimed at raising funds for the Nimowa clinic and other worthwhile causes (there are plenty of them!). We ended up with the highest bid on many items with some of the stand outs being a really lovely Bagi, Bundy Bear Wind Sock, and a bottle of marmalade which ended up costing 60Kina (~$30AUD) .
|MV Reliance Crew
|The Local Drop
After the fun of Misima we were still keen to move on and took the opportunity to depart from Misima once we had finished our morning tasks. We decided to head for Robinson's anchorage for the night (~30NM) which proved to be a great spot for the night before we head over to Sabira in the morning. We followed Little One over to the anchorage and we ended up being the only 2 yachts here for the night. Mark and Lisa from 'Little One' were kind enough to donate some of their HUMUNGOUS Mackerel that they had caught on the trip over. Mark was even kind enough to fillet them for us. We decided the best thing to do was wrap the fillets in foil with some herbs and chuck them on the BBQ - this was all pretty YUMMY - especially as fish hasn't exactly been a staple food in our diet so far On the fishing front Mustang Sally hasn't been doing all that flash and seem to have developed a reputation for losing lures and being fish lovers not killers!. So far the score is fish = 4 and Mustang Sally Dim Dims = 0.
10 October
Up early again as we have about 20NM to do today on our way to Sabira and are keen to get there as we have heard that it is a really beautiful spot surrounded with small limestone islets. We arrived just before lunch and were not disappointed with the beauty of the place, crystal clear water and sandy bottom – YAY – no bommies to worry about here. Chief George was pretty keen to come out on his dug out to greet the yachts as they arrive and in most cases hoped on board to lead you through to the best anchoring spot
|Village at Sabira Island
After lots of swimming and snorkelling in the arvo we head to the shore to participate in the five o'clock drinkies with the five or so other yachts that have decided to come to Sabira.

She stood tall and proud, an heiress of uncounted riches
Bred to perfection, overly confident and well kept.
She walks like the queen that she is
As if everything bows down to her passing.
She acts as if the world was made for her,
Gears grinding in her every whim,
The world, bending to her favor.
He has his shoulders hunched, humbled by the weather
Calloused hands and torn out shoes,
Hair in disarray, a reflection of his disposition.
Doubt shadows his every move, uncertainty in his soul.
He walks like he carries the world,
And paves the road for someone great to pass.
He is oblivious of the existence of equality
For he was raised at the bottom
And he never knew there was a top.
She is the epitome of an empowered individual,
Conquering the world, commanding the storms
And engineering the paths.
He is the reflection of a broken soul, spineless,
Conquered before he was born, bows down to all things passing,
He is more familiar with the image of his toes
Than that of the world around him.
She stands tall,
He cowers.
She speaks in thunderstorms,
He shouts in whispers.
She leads,
He tails.
She commands,
He follows.
She is a force to be reckoned,
He is negligible.
While she is necessary and essential,
He is worthless.
As she conquers,
He surrenders.
What a sight it is, I tell you,
To see such extreme of a spectrum
Fit each other like a glove
As if those born in the stars
And born in the dust
Were, after all this time,
Meant to be the oddest,
Unlikely but sensible pair.

Using MM540 axles in CJ340
While the CJ340 enjoys definite advantage over MM540/550 in off-roading, but there are times when I am envious of MM540/550 owners. The MM5xx definitely has better ride comfort and better handling on road.
Since traveling to off-road venues involves lot of on-road driving, I want to improve the handling aspect of CJ340. The curving roads in my area that can be easily managed at 80Kmph on GV, is scary on CJ340 even at 50Kmph. And this on a soft top. Jammy, the previous owner of the Jeep tried compensating by switching to wider tyres. While that helps, I like to have some more.
I have noticed that many SWB Jeepers have switched to MM550 axles to get a little wider track there by gaining better handling characteristics.
I want understand the pros and cons of using MM5xx axle and axle housing on a CJ340/CL340. I understand the pros, but what is the downside?

Easiest way to widen the track is to use very negative offset alloy rims.
And for a 4x4,these are commonly available.

But i was going the -ve offset + spacer + stock size tyres route. Did some maths(and physics) on the stress to be borne by the axle due to the widening of the track. And it seemed on paper that i need to strengthen the suspension too. The project never took off though. Will try and dig up those figures. Had created an excel sheet to calculate the optimal track size for a particular GAWR(considering its equal on each side) on the stock axles. Cant find that excel too :( will have to put it together again.
You do get better quality lugs. Or can get them made.
Also if you are increasing the track only for handling on sharp turns, not recommended. If not done properly can but a lot of stress on the suspension and even the Chassis of the Jeep. I have seen bolting points on the chasis broken off due to a bad job when taking such a modified jeep offroad.

So, it will effect your steering. My further question correlative to Samurai's is can you solve hard or "vague" steering in a jeep by adding power steering?

Spacers create complications on-road.
So, barring spacers, how much difference in the offset(in mm) would the aftermarket rim and stock figure be?
This could help in figuring out the difference in stress levels.
Let me add something important here.
Even with the track modification, please keep in mind that the ultra-short wheelbase and the high CG of the CJ3B is inherently a dicey vehicle when it comes to handling and you've got to keep the speeds in control.
Once, I've had a sudden braking situation in a CJ3B shod with Pirelli 215mm wide AT tyres. Scary would be an understatement.

Samurai, as you know my rear axle packed up due to all the mods of diesel -> petrol -> diesel conversion. Behram & Ferdi STRICTLY recommended sticking to a stock Classic axle. Which is still produced by Mahindra BTW.
That's enough for me.

Just my guess, with reference to Headers post regarding tyre size.
If you reduce/ change the tyre size (w.r.t. Radius) will it help?
Since main problem could be because of length of the Jeep. (its wheelbase is 80" na?)
So before chassis or suspension alteration I think giving a try to different tyre size might help a little.

Going anymore wider will just make it look like those show-off GPWs in the north.
Moreover, have you checked the prices of tyres to think about experimenting?

There will be LESS stress on spindles and lugs if spindles and lugs are also from the mm5** (why wouldn't they be?) since the SWB jeep weighs considerably less than the mm5**. There will be differences in spring loads between the 2 jeeps. I would wonder if the SWB springs can hold the heavier mm5** axles adequately. Or, if you also install mm5** springs (too big?), I wonder if you then would have to make adjustments for the lighter SWB jeep weight...else, harsh ride. Do the axle housing/chassis attachment points line up vertically? The steering linkage to the front wheels is another issue. New mm5** steering box etc?
The above is just sheer speculation on my part. I have no experience with this whatsoever. Seems complex.

Well, that's enough to scare me away. I guess I'll stay stock. I am not capable of managing such complex mods. And I never do mods that I don't understand or consider unreliable.

Hello Sir,
not to be confused by all the above posts.
All the jeeps (not SUVs) made by Mahindra have almost the same knuckle, spring, spindle,etc.
Once you put the 3 inches wider MM540 axles, your 340 get the specs of the Mahindra Classic. Rest is all well known to Classic owners, about stress, stability, strength etc.
Go ahead and simply swap the differentials for wider track. If possible try and source them off a MM550, you will get disc brakes in front and limited slip rear crown/tail assy.
For fat tyres get a steering box of 'Ranee', the ones used in 550s and Armadas, it sits straight into the old position.
If you have to opt for disc brakes in front, then it is better you instal a servo assisted brake unit, which again will call for a suspended pedals setup and a modified alternator with inhouse pump.
Very few minor things to keep in mind during such an upgrade, and right now I am in a hurry, so will not able to point them, we will seek the advise of experts on this issue. The emergency brake, the shock absorber lower point and a few are there
We have many upgraded CJ3B, Kaisers and some WWII jeeps with 540 and even FC differentials (with matching axle ratio as per the power train and wheel dia.) in our club Jeep Thrills, where offroading is at the A+ level, still there is no fear in the most difficult terrains, just that we always prefer going full floating at the rear too due the massive beating to our jeeps. "The key to success is the 'feather' weight SWB jeeps."
BTW, if you use MM550 rear, I am told ( not very sure) that it is difficult to convert to full floating, as the 550 axle shaft's outer dia is higher than the standard Dana 44 axles, causing mismatch with the spindles' inner bore. Please check on this issue and report to the forum.
Good topic taken up, let the knowledge flow in.
With all my wishes,

Oscar And Lucinda
Oscar And Lucinda
Honestly I had low hopes for this movie before watching, but it surprised me. This movie deserves top 1 on imdb. It left me with nice energy inside of me. I am going to do my review a little bit different from how everyone else is doing it. It is a movie with serious, original story, it will surprise you. It was clear, Oscar And Lucinda will be a good movie, I knew that after first trailer. This movie should be much more popular than it is now. I feel better after watching Oscar And Lucinda Play the movie right now, don't waste your time.
