This times are long over now, but Where your a thing to love or eat. Recover her full Power Suit and clear your name for good takes place after Metroid Fusion! Written in the second person.
I tried to complete one of the possible paths of the story, but had to cut it short ad mid-time. I am trying at least. Maybe you can keep this symmetry ; its fun. Especially when there's vore involved. All is soft vore and no sexual shit. It will rock yo socks off! I won't shy away from sex or gore. Feel free to add to it I left sections open deliberately just as long as you follow the original pirit of the tale. Otherwise I do believe anything goes. Oh, I reserve the right to delete horrific grammar as well.
And, if you like this interactive, please let me know! Even more so if you're smaller than usual. You want to see the animals, and boy, are they glad to see you. But can she, when there are so many hungry predators? This time the poor girl ends up shrunken and trying desperately to escape a mansion full of unusually hungry and horny predators! Don't say I didn't warn you. Feel free to add other fetishy stuff if you like, but I will delete any blatant Scat or underage-ism I find, as well as not-up-to-par writing.
As long as your pages are true to the spirit of the original storyline you should be okay. Can you describe it well? Add it in and make the rest of the community very happy.
The layout of the mansion will remain the same regardless of your initial choice though. Will contain UB, AV, soft vore and some scattish scenes " 41 pages. Nobody knows it but you rule this medievil country, lets see how you do. Feel free to add anything you want, especially if the Pokemon you like aren't in there.
My first Eka int. How long cn you live without beign digested, and what sort of fun will you have along the way? Soft vore, no sex and preferably live vore!!! Will she slay the Werewolf King, or will she end up a meal for one of the sinister creatures that roam the forests at night?
What happened to you? Explore the mysterious castle and try to find your way out, as a girl or as a boy. However every business has its dark secrets. Pick a character and see what becomes of you.
Also, I don't mind a few sex scenes, but please keep it to a minimum, 'kay? More details on first page. He also recently developed a liking for fancy cakes.
At every turn, however, you find yourself surrounded by hungry predators who have other plans for you This story is about you, in a mansion filled with maids of all kinds, and two busty overseers.
But I have moved on and I frankly am no longer interested in this story. May or may not be deleted later. Just a moment of your time May include - Soft vore, sex, unbirth, digestion.
Please do not include - gore, hard vore, scat. Thanks " 4 pages. Please add, everyone loves Krystal. But don't go too heavy on a storyline please. Told from the third person choose wich lady adveturer will brave the Goblin infested wood, The foul Blightwater Swamp and the ruins themselves.
Will they survive or become dinner for the beasties that stand in their way. Currently there are four girls to pick from. Feel free to add and I'll be trying to add at least a chapter a day. As for rules just no scat or unbirthing or Anal Vore. That should do it welcome and enjoy; " 53 pages. Also I will be adding a storyso that you can experience first hand of what my characters are like.
You must Survive this Here you get to play three very glutoness Dragontaurs of Laven where every monster is on the list. See start page for details.
What he failed to realize, however, was that dragons are not very high on Ianmear's food chain. An interactive story for all you full tour fans out there! All of them have vore too. Will he escape alive or will he become prey? Katrin's unwanted Vore Adventure. It's an exciting read, but the real adventure begins when you find yourself sucked into the pages, and living out the shrunken stories. Be carefule what you pick. The choices arent always what they seem!
No toilet fetishes, or death, everying else is a go. Can you help her escape to safety? Given that she's being held against her will, almost everything that happens is non-consensual. She's a cute girl, but none the less, no one seems to talk to her. One day, after yet another bad day from school while walking home, she sees something wrapped in a paper bag on the side of the road.
Hoping its something to drink, she grabs, it only to find out it is a gun. She has no plan to kill herself, or anyone else like this until she find it doesn't shoot bullets it just shrinks things. Also if you do want to use an animal which I han't listed or start your own place follow my options first. You are a human male or female, finding yourself alone you start looking around in chat rooms and find another person like yourself. You learn that they are ether a furry or taur foxtaur, wolftaur, etc male, female or herm and are larger then normal, coz of this they are out casts.
You pay them a vest, too find that your ether knee or belly high. The two of you ether hit it off as friends or you become their meal. Options you should keep in mind: You will embark as the leader of your people, whether you lead your faction to glory with full bellies or you lead them to utter defeat, nothing more than chow for your competitors is based upon you.
Take up arms whether it be of crudely crafted stones or pristine teeth and claws and fight for glory, fame, and most importantly, the means of life, food.
Life had been pretty dull thus far, until you suddenly shrink to half an inch in size. Suddenly, your normal surrounding have become pretty dangerous, and no one knows you are there.
So will you survive? Things start out at the university where you studied together with your friends, some of them female and quite good- looking. You are not exactly the virtuous type, so you just may try to take advantage of that new situation. Here lurks many a dangerous predator, here resides hordes of the most succulent prey you could get your hands on.
And there is so much to explore here, traveler - but are you up to the challenge? Her fate is determine by your decisions.
Find out the past of the women becoming a hybrid. Take revenge or accept The following story will have just about all aspects of vore in it with a hint of violence in it as well. Each chapter has a choice you can make but its up to you to decide how Amber gets out of this alive. This is my first project so any feedback will be good.
Two hundred years later the war ended, and the winning nation became corrupted by greed and power, while the defeated slunk away to there destroyed home.

Henry Cavill: 'Man of Steel' Mexico City Photo Call!
Henry Cavill poses at a photo call to promote his new film Man of Steel on Friday (June 7) at the St. Regis Hotel in Mexico City, Mex.
The 30-year-old actor is also pictured inside posing with personal trainer Eric Fleishman after a workout earlier in the week. "Even Superman loves a massive workout #Kabooom," Eric tweeted.
Henry just appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he talked about initially ignoring the call from Man of Steel director Zack Snyder… because of his gaming addiction.
"I'm a big PC gamer, and I was playing an online game called World of Warcraft," Henry said. "I was playing this game, and you can't save it. You can't pause or anything, and other people are relying on you to play certain roles on a team. And it was a highpoint of the game. And so the phone's ringing, and I'm ignoring it and ignoring it, because I'm not going to bail on these guys. And I look down and it's Zack Snyder calling, so I dive for the phone, and I missed the call from Zack Snyder, the one I'd been waiting for, for Man Of Steel."

Skip to comments.Report: New York City may allow amnestied illegal immigrants to vote
Posted on 05/11/2013 12:57:02 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
New York City may soon allow non-citizens, including illegal immigrants who would be granted amnesty if the Senate's immigration reform bill passes Congress, to vote in elections.
According to Talking Points Memo, the New York City Council is currently considering a proposal that would allow non-citizens to vote in local elections. Even though Mayor Michael Bloomberg reportedly opposes the proposal, TPM reports that the New York City Council appears to have a veto-proof majority so it could make the proposal law without Bloombergs support.
Queens College professor Ron Hayduk, a supporter of the proposal who helped craft it, told TPM that this proposal is likely to influence the national immigration debate, too, as pro-amnesty factions are likely to support it.
It would send a big message to the rest of the country and embolden campaigns which are ongoing in other places like San Francisco, and Portland, Maine, and Washington, D.C., and other places, Hayduk said. It would certainly be viewed favorably by immigrants rights advocates and be seen by other policy makers as another level of discussion about the whole business of the role of immigrants in the United States.
If the Senate immigration bill passes Congress and the New York City Council passes its proposal, illegal immigrants in the city would likely be allowed to vote because the immigration reform bill makes illegal immigrants legal almost immediately upon passage.
Protecting American citizens votes is a major concern of many in this debate. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) made secure the vote one of his top three priorities in any immigration package.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
I expect this will have the opposite effect on pending legislation that Herr Doktor Professor Haydek says.....
The Big Apple will become the Rotten Apple and will be worse than Detroit.
NYC = Frisco East
NO AMNESTY!! TRAITORS MCCAIN, GRAHAM, RUBIO, FLAKE, et al, blow it out your ear!!
There seems to be a growing number of mentally ill officials in government with each passing day.
only if they vote for THE RIGHT PEOPLE
Not sure if there ia anyone or anything to stop them.
Who cares what NYC does? 80% of New Yorkers are complete idiots and a good portion of the rest are immoral scum.
New York may not like the results...let them do it.
I'M SHOCKED! /s Isn't that why the Dems are pushing amnesty and the reason why 0bama is allowing illegal aliens to storm across our borders as we speak?
Let the Catholic Church go full-turbo now on getting Latino Catholics back into the church. Let's see how fast the locals jump to erase this measure. The Catholic Church is the wildcard in this whole thing...if they'd just recruit and bring young Latino priests into the inner city area....they'd change the whole dynamic.
Dems foster voter fraud in elections
Dems want illegals to vote in elections
Dems want felons to vote in elections
Anyone see a pattern here?
Someone could file suit when and if this happens to throw out ALL the lawless NYC ballots.
Thank an Amnesty Liberal Republican for this nonsense
Just use the word Yankee or even better: damn Yankee, it is cleaner and quicker.

Prince Harry Has Topped His Grandmother's Royal Photobomb

Report from Australian investigators suggests MH370 was a 'zombie plane'
Buried in the lengthy report released last week by Australia's MH370 investigators is one crucial revelation: the aircraft suffered a serious technical problem triggered by a power outage.
The Australian Defense Science and Technology report officially acknowledges the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight suffered a sudden electrical failure before its disappearance on March 8 last year, the Daily Beast found. This backs the popular "zombie plane" theory, whereby the missing plane's avionic systems are ravaged, rendering the flight crew helpless, and the aircraft continued flying on autopilot until it ran out of fuel.
A grim timeline reveals the power blackout occurred in a 56-minute window between the final scheduled contact from the jet's Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System and a failed attempt from dispatchers to contact the crew.
The report provides four possible explanations for the outage, which place blame either on human intervention or a technical fault: crew action in the cockpit using overhead switches, a sudden error requiring an Auxiliary Power Unit to start emergency power, somebody pulling out and resetting circuit breakers in the equipment bay, or intermittent technical failures.
Whether one of these scenarios is correct can only be confirmed if the search for the lost plane is successful.
The power loss is said to have led to two of the Boeing 777's automatic reporting systems and other vital functions to shutdown, likely causing panic in the cockpit as pilots tried to save the plane.
The timeline shows that after the electrical failure, at least one technological system managed to regain power 60 seconds later and kept operating, sending a series of hourly satellite pings for the remainder of the flight. Its final ping was sent 10 minutes before the jet crashed into the ocean.
In the end, a flight that should have taken just over five hours came to a halt over the southern Indian Ocean, seven hours and 38 minutes after takeoff.
The report explains "fuel exhaustion was probable" and it is believed "the right engine flamed-out (shutdown) first followed by the left engine" about 15 minutes later.
It is suggested the "uncontrolled but stable" aircraft then circled downwards and hit the water.
In this time, the run-down engines prompt the Auxiliary Power Unit to kick into gear, and it manages to complete a last transmission within seconds of the crash.
The evidence is described as "inconsistent with a controlled ditching scenario".

As the 2014-15 girls basketball season began, it was no secret Bethlehem Catholic was the area team that was the overwhelming favorite to continue its season the longest when the calendar flipped to March.
Despite naming a new coach, Jose Medina, just 11 days before the start of the season, the Golden Hawks were able to fulfill the predictions.
For the third straight season, the Golden Hawks finished their league schedule undefeated. They also won the inaugural Eastern Pennsylvania Conference championship, picked up their third straight District 11 Class 3A championship and qualified for the PIAA playoffs earning them the honor of being The Morning Call's girls basketball team of the year.
"It was great to be associated with the program," said Medina. "From the very beginning to the very end I got to see how hard girls worked. Collectively with the seniors, how hard the team worked, with the passion they displayed each and every day in practice. They had high goals and worked tirelessly toward achieving those goals. … That was remarkable in itself to see up close and personal. I thought there was a lot of growth from where we began to where we ended up ultimately."
Becahi didn't exactly start its season off on the right foot, beginning with a 54-52 loss to Scranton Prep, which was ranked the third-best team in the state in Class 3A at the time, in the Yasso-Rothrock Christmas City Classic Basketball Tournament.
Medina wouldn't entertain the thought that having more time to prepare may have resulted in a different outcome — he believes in learning from experiences and gave a lot of credit to Scranton Prep — although he did acknowledge obstacles he and his team had to overcome.
"Trust is a huge one," said Medina. "Getting the girls to trust you as their coach, but I would say that began to cultivate and develop as the season [went on]."
It didn't take long for Becahi to turn things around. It followed up the loss with a win 64-51 win over West Chester Rustin the very next day, which began a stretch of 27 straight wins.
What may have been most impressive was how dominant Becahi was during the stretch. The Golden Hawks won 25 of those 27 games by at least 12 points, the biggest margin being a 57-point win coming Dec. 23 against Pleasant Valley.
Their average margin of victory, excluding a four-point win over Nazareth Jan. 9 and the 45-42 EPC final win over Central Catholic, was 28.24 points.
Until that final loss, Bethlehem Catholic was ranked in the top four in the state 3A rankings from the first preseason list on.
While the team was definitely disappointed following the early exit from the state playoffs — the third time in four years they fell in the second round — the season was still obviously deemed a success.
"We won leagues and districts," said senior Kalista Walters. "We won it last year too, so that's definitely a success. I think our team hates losing so much that in the moment that's all we could think about. We still looked back at everything and realized how grateful we were."
Even though Becahi is graduating a number of key players, Medina expects the area's best team this past season to pick up where it left off next year.
"The sky is the limit," said Medina. "For us, we're very thankful for the seniors — Kalista, Maggie [Melhem], Nicole [Lacherza] — they laid the foundation for program. It's up to younger girls to keep that going, the standards are high. We're not going to deviate, losing key players, or buy into that. Our outlook is bright, we're excited. It's a great time to be a part of the program. A lot of young girls are eager to prove themselves."

High dose sildenafil citrate as a salvage therapy for severe erectile dysfunction.
© 2018 The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of high dose sildenafil as a salvage therapy for patients refractory to the maximum recommended dose of sildenafil. Fifty four fully evaluated patients with chronic erectile failure (ED) who had previously failed to respond to a home trial of sildenafil (100 mg) with erections suitable for sexual intercourse were studied. Each man was treated at home with sildenafil at escalating doses of up to 200 mg until either maximal response or intolerable adverse effects occurred. Erectile function was quantified using the erectile function domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) before treatment, with sildenafil 100 mg and with maximal dose of sildenafil and a global efficacy question after 4 weeks of treatment. The mean age of the study group was 59.6+/-11.2 y. 13/54 (24%) had arteriogenic ED, 16/54 (30%) had mixed vasculogenic ED, 9/54 (17%) had cavernosal veno-occlusive dysfunction, 11/54 (20%) had post radical retropubic prostatectomy ED and 5/54 (9%) had psychogenic ED. 13/54 (24.1%) responded to sildenafil at a median maximal dose of 200 mg, 4/13 required 150 mg and 9/13 required 200 mg. 41/54 (76%) failed to respond to sildenafil. Mean IIEF question 3 and 4 scores were 1.5 and 1.4 at baseline, 2.2 and 1.9 with sildenafil 100 mg, 2.8 and 2.5 with sildenafil 150 mg and 3.0 and 2.9 with sildenafil 200 mg, respectively. After 4 weeks, treatment was regarded as having improved their erections by 37%, 46.3% and 68% of patients with sildenafil 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg, respectively. 34/54 (63%) reported adverse effects with maximal dose sildenafil comprising headache (19), facial flushing (32), dyspepsia (14), nasal congestion (11), dizziness (5) and visual disturbances (5). 4/13 (31%) responders refused to continue treatment due to adverse effects.In conclusion, sildenafil at doses of up to 200 mg is an effective salvage therapy for 24.1% of previous sildenafil non-responders but is limited by a significantly higher incidence of adverse effects and a 31% treatment discontinuation rate.

The 17th Annual Sports and Education Dinner is to be held at Portage College on April 1st, 2017. On March 7th, the College was notified that speaker Lanny McDonald cancelled his appearance because of an unspecified family commitment.

It's been a slow recovery for restaurants since the recession. Average profit margins are slim, ranging from three to five percent. Recent growth in the industry has come mainly from what's known as off-premises sales -- food going from their door to yours.
"When one looks at all restaurant industry traffic today, three-quarters of that traffic is off premises," says Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the National Restaurant Association's Research and Knowledge Group.
If you're craving a Chili's Southwestern BLT or Santa Fe chicken quesadillas, the restaurant chain now has hundreds of locations across the country that will bring that meal directly to you.
Riehle says takeout and delivery is growing mostly because consumers have more money to spend on meals. And they're busy.
"So there really is a confluence of events in that consumers have a heightened demand for convenience," he says.
The drive-thru doesn't quite cut it anymore. Burger King, for example, is expanding delivery service. Company officials say smartphones have completely changed the notion of "having it your way."
Burger King has a $10 minimum for delivery. Chili's minimum? $150.
That's because people usually skip high-profit items like soft drinks and alcohol. But the company is making up for it, says Edithann Ramey vice president of brand marketing for Chili's.
"So it's the alcohol we miss, but again, we're making it up because it's, I mean these orders are much larger than even the $150 minimum, so it still becomes a nice sales jack," she says.
Still, so many things can go wrong
"You may drive 20 minutes before you get to the house, and that food's just been sitting for 20 minutes," says Todd Barrios, who teaches hospitality management at Stephen F. Austin State University and previously worked in restaurant management.
For one thing, he says, delivery drivers need more insurance. And then there's the issue of food quality.
"The freshness and heat may not be there as it is if you were to go to that place in a sit-down environment."
Barrios says all it takes is one bad experience with a restaurant, and customers can be turned off for good.

We've all heard various stories about Jimi's mgr Michael Jeffery. Some good, some bad, depending on if you worked for him or not(such as the women in his office for ex.).
My overall impression is that he was too greedy and worked Hendrix to death(pun intended). Obviously Hendrix had a somewhat difficult and traumatic life esp. in his younger years. Maye Jeffery did not know Jimi's personal history, few did but imo, he should have been more nurturing towards Jimi: giving him extended periods of rest and relaxation, necessary for any creative artist esp. of Jimi's caliber.
Eric Burdon was quoted as saying about Jimi's demise, "The business killed him and I just can't put it any better."
I agree and point more diectly to Michael Jeffery.
Your thoughts on Jeffery?

Crashes With Animals
Cars + Deer = Trouble - Smart Motorist
Each year there are approximately 500,000 deer/auto collisions resulting in over 100 deaths and thousands of injuries. Each deer/auto collisions cost the auto insurance industry about $2,000 according to the Insurance Information Institute. The recent explosion in the deer population has lead to a dramatic increase in deer/car collisions. In the 1980's the deer population was approximately 10 million. Today, there are more than 25 million. Losses due to deer and car encounters will only increase as the deer population continues to grow and urban habitats encroach upon rural environments.
The following are defensive driving tips to avoid hitting a deer:
- Be vigilant in early morning and evening hours, the most active time for deer.
- Use your high-beam headlights, which reflect in the deer's eyes, to see the deer better.
- Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away.
- Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path. Do not swerve. It can confuse the deer as to where to run. It can also cause you to lose control and hit a tree or another car.
- Be alert and drive with caution when you are moving through a deer crossing zone.
- Always wear your seat belt. Most people injured in car/deer crashes were not wearing their seat belt.
- Look for other deer after one has crossed the road. Deer seldom run alone.
If your vehicle strikes a deer, do not touch the animal. The frightened animal, in attempting to move, could hurt you or itself. The best procedure is to get your car off the road, if possible, and call the police. When you get home, contact your insurance agent or company representative and report the incident. Collision with an animal is normally covered under the comprehensive portion of your auto insurance policy.
Hornet Deer Avoidance Device
The XP3 Corporation of Oregon manufactures the Hornet product line of deer avoidance devices that they claim may help reduce the risk of animal/vehicle collision by more than 70%. They state: "The use of the Hornet, along with driver awareness [emphasis added], has been proven to reduce the risk of animal/vehicle collision by more than 70%. The Hornet is a precision-tuned sonic generator which produces a high-pitched, directional sonic wave. When this wave is reflected from the road surface of a moving vehicle, a virtual sonic echo effect is produced. This sonic wave has proven its ability to alert deer and most other animals to approaching vehicles with sufficient warning to avoid costly accidents."
Crashes With Animals
What can you do to avoid hitting an animal? - Collisions with animals, particularly deer, represent more than four percent of all crashes in the United States and killed 111 people in 1995 according to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS), so the Foundation decided to look into this issue further. An analysis of state data from Alabama showed that the most dangerous times of day for deer-related crashes are in the early evening and early morning -- the most active time for deer. The most dangerous time of year is during the mating season, in November and December. While FARS reported 275,000 collisions with animals in 1995, the Insurance Information Institute, a New York based group that looks into various insurance-related issues, estimates that there are 500,000 collisions each year with deer alone, each costing the insurance industry approximately $2,000 per claim. According to the I.I.I., the deer population has swelled from approximately 10 million in the 1980s to more than 20 million today.
So, what can you do to avoid hitting an animal yourself? First, pay attention to animal crossing signs. They're probably there because other motorists have had crashes in the area. Also, obey the speed limit and keep a close watch for deer around dusk and at dawn. Don't over-drive your headlights at night -- i.e., control your speed so that you will have time to react to something when it appears in your headlights. If you see a deer in the road, honk your horn -- flashing your lights might cause the animal to further fixate on your vehicle. Keep in mind that if you think you are going to hit the animal, it's often better to brake than to swerve. Swerving can confuse the animal as to which way to run and possibly result in a worse collision with a fixed object such as a tree or an oncoming vehicle.
What kind of vehicles are most often involved in animal-related crashes? According to statistics culled from the University of Albama's Crash Analysis Reporting Environment (CARE), automobiles are involved in about 61 percent of the crashes followed by pickup trucks, which are involved in 26 percent of crashes. Vans are involved in 7 percent, while tractor trailers are involved in only two percent.
|Reported Crashes Involving Animals in Alabama, 1995, by Month of Crash

| Percentage
Research compiled by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 1996
Most important (not in your list):
1. REDUCE SPEED when driving near forested areas and unharvested cornfields, as this is where deer roam, and hide..
2. Watch for deer near bridges, as they cross deep ditches and rivers on them; also they follow creeks in their wanderings.
3. Drivers who hit deer often say ' I didn't see it until I hit it.' I have seen deer jump over 8-ft. fences and land, running, in the center of the road. This is why speed versus reaction time is a factor in deer collisions.
4. people living in 'der country' are aware of these deer habits, but city-folk driving in
the country do not know the dangers. How many city people are the ones most involved in deer-car collisions?
I've lived in an area with a high deer population for 30 years and have never ever hit one. I have learned the best way to avoid hitting them is to not only go the speed limit or below this, but to use high beams- look out for their reflecting eyes, and to honk the horn every few minutes in areas where you suspect wildlife(you may want to do this during the day as well-they're still about), they have amazing hearing and through the sound of the car horn, can track the direction and motion of your car from great distances. I noticed areas where I do not travel regularly doing this, I often see deer carcasses and other dead wildlife beside the road.
On the night of 29th July, 2011, I alongwith my family was coming from Islamabad Pakistan through my car and when reached near Sambrial, suddenly one donkey came on the road and stood up. I was confused. However, I put pressure upon the break and ultimatley the car collided with the donkey who fell down while his legs upwards. This collusion damaged front side of my car. It was our good luck that we could escape unhurt. This could be a graver accident. We inform all the concerned not allow to stray animals on the roads, so that accidents may be avoided.

A Yank Back to England: The Prodigal Tourist Returns
I have to say, I loved it and I just know that all of the anglophiles, travellers and expats among you will love it too.
So, if you'd like to read my review and watch Denis reading an excerpt from the book, rush on over my newly renamed and rebranded entertainment blog Addicted to Media and I have also posted an interview with Denis over at BlogCritics. Or you can just go straight to Amazon and buy the book! (That is a non-affiliate link and the only payment I received for posting this was the enjoyment of the book!!)
8 comments
Don't know the book, but small typo in your post heading; thought it was going to be a 'bash the bankers' post.ReplyDelete
Hi Emm I did a piece on Denis on British Expats Directory last year. Great bloke and the book is good too.ReplyDelete
Now all you need is a title and you could do the same.....something connected to Liverpool?
I notice that all the reviews on Amazon are from Americans. I'd like to read the book and see what it's like from a "native" perspective. The books written by British expats in France are frequently either patronising or largely divorced from the reality of day to day life. Sometimes both. :)ReplyDelete
Emm, I love all your comments!!! I'd also love to hear about how you were saved by angels sometime. :)ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read this book. I'm realizing now how very little I saw of England while I was there. I look forward to wandering off the tourist path and seeing more upon my next visit to the UK (I will go back someday! I will!).
I've never heard of the author or the book, but I thank you for letting me know. I haven't had time to actually sit down and enjoy a book for quite some time, but I really like the look of this one.ReplyDelete
What a life! Traveling, blogging, and photographing! Thanks for letting us know about the book.ReplyDelete
It sounds like a fantastic book! Thanks for letting us know about that. I 'll love it. I'm an anglophile, you know!ReplyDelete
Betty xx
@ John: Oh! Thanks for letting me know!! Silly me.ReplyDelete
@ Mike: Ha! I'm not sure if I could ever write a whole book. Maybe... then again, I have always been passionate about Liverpool and would need little convincing to tour it.
@ Sheila: Do read it! I'd love to hear your views on it. In terms of my own family and their quirks and prejudices, I found the book to be absolutely authentic. And Denis is English so this is a book about England by and English person.
@ Claire: I would certainly recommend stepping off the tourist path occasionally but I do think the tourist sites are mostly worth it. Especially the free ones!!
@ Lauren: I didn't read for years and then had a bit of a renewal starting about four years ago. Been a phenomenal four years!
@ AVCr8teur: Oh, I forgot to mention that I work full time too!
@ Betty: I would certainly recommend it to you then!!

N.D. oil production up, but not 1 million barrels yet
WILLISTON, N.D. - North Dakota oil production increased 2.6 percent in March to 977,051 barrels of oil per day, the Department of Mineral Resources said Tuesday.
The preliminary figure represents another all-time high for North Dakota as the state climbs toward the milestone of producing 1 million barrels of oil per day.
Weather continued to affect oil production in March, with some temperatures well below zero, several days with winds too high for some crews to operate and a snowstorm on the final day of the month, Director Lynn Helms said in his monthly update.
Natural gas flaring fell from 36 percent to 33 percent in March, largely because the Hess Corp. gas plant in Tioga was beginning to come online that month, Helms said. About 50 wells continued to be shut down in March to minimize flaring as the gas plant transitioned to an expanded plant.

International visitor spend up for June 2014 year
14 August 2014
International visitor spend up for June 2014 year
Total visitor spend in New Zealand continues to grow, to $7.1 billion, up by 11 per cent for the year ending June 2014, according to the latest quarterly International Visitor Survey released by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
The Ministry's Sector Performance Manager Peter Ellis says the growth is driven by holiday / vacation visitors who increased their spending by $800 million from the previous year.
"This latest data shows the continued recovery of the tourism sector, and confirms what we have been seeing in other data sources and what we hear from the industry."
The survey results showed there was a significant increase in total spending by visitors from the USA, up an estimated 53 per cent from the previous year, and Germany, up 63 per cent. Spending by visitors from China rose 26 per cent, further contributing to the growth.
In contrast to holiday / vacation visitors, spending by business travellers went down by 22 per cent.
A table with a summary of statistics is available on the Ministry's website, with statistically significant changes highlighted in red/blue font. Additional data tables are available on NZ.Stat.
The International Visitor Survey is based on results from approximately 8,900 visitors departing New Zealand airports, with data released quarterly.

Starting my WWOOFing Experience in Australia
Friday 11th March 2011 – Somewhere in Noosa, Australia
As the next part of my journey was about to begin, I started to feel as though my Australian adventure was really in full swing. I was about to partake in some unpaid work in exchange for free food and accommodation, whilst spending time in the home of some locals, working in their property. Surely this would be the way to really get a taste of Australian life, although it was very different to how I imagined.
I checked out of my Noosa hostel – Flashpackers – and spent the day relaxing in and around the hostel until the afternoon when I was to be picked up by my host and taken to the guy's property where my next adventure would begin. 4pm came and I was kindly given a free ride into town from the guys in the hostel. I love this hostel, and will definitely be back.
I waited a short while in town until my host arrived, and was a little taken aback to see the guy's Ute, all decorated in a striking paint job. I imagined the guy to be quite wealthy, yet I was equally taken aback again once I met the guy in person. He had the appearance of a biker, or a pirate, and looked to have a prosthetic leg. The initial greeting was short and sweet, as my bag was dumped in the back of the Ute, then we both got in the car and we were off.
It was a fair drive to the property, and we stopped off at a pizza take away along the way. We spoke and got to know one another a little better. He is in fact a biker, and actually works in his own Harley Davidson shop. I didn't ask about his leg but I can only hazard a guess as to how it happened. A motorbike-related injury I would presume. The guy is initially from Germany, and still had a strong accent, and upon talking further, he seems like a decent guy.
The guy wasn't the type of guy I expected to meet on this experience, and I wondered if it would be quite the authentic experience I was looking for. Yet, I learnt more about Australia in that drive to his home than I have done so far on my Australian trip. Money is not great in OZ, much like anywhere else in the world. Property is far more expensive than it used to be, even surpassing UK prices by the sound of it. Much of the rise in prices has happened over the past few years, and sales in his shop have all but dried up, leaving him with a fast-approaching decision as to whether to carry on or not. I often fanaticised about the beauty of a life down under, and the easy lifestyle, cheap prices etc. I realise now how false this image is.
We eventually arrived at the guy's property and I could see he was well off for money. His house was large and his land plentiful. He had cattle and chickens, as well as two dogs that ran to greet us as we pulled up. I am not the biggest fan of larger dogs, but these were relatively well behaved. We entered the property and I was a little surprised at the tidiness of the place, and how many nice things there were scattered about the place. I could live happily in a place like this, minus the cattle of course.
After we had eaten I was shown to a smaller cottage located down a short track from the house. This was to be my home for the next few days, and it looked cosy from the outside. I wondered if I might get a bit lonely down here on my own, but it is all part of the experience I am sure. As we stood outside looking at the cottage, with me getting a brief explanation of its purpose, we noticed a car driving up the road in the field below. Apparently this was the cottage's new permanent tenant, after I had gone. The girl took one look at the building from the outside and agreed a price with the guy. I just looked on trying to take it all in.
A brief tour of the cottage revealed not a lot, as all the furniture had been expelled from the rooms inside, making way for the new tenant. Unluckily for me, just one week prior to my arrival, all furniture was still in its place, making it infinitely more homely. As it stood, the white walls and tin roof housed nothing but empty space and a feeling of cold that didn't reflect the warm outside temperature. After inflating a double mattress for me to sleep on, it was placed in the centre of the main room, looking largely out of place. I put my things around the bed and made it my circle of comfort. My feeling of loneliness grew by the second.
I was given the evening to settle in and sort my things out before starting work tomorrow, and I began to feel more at ease. It is a completely new experience for me, but one I am glad I am having. I had to laugh to myself as I sat in the kitchen that evening watching all the flies dancing about the ceiling and the light, hoping they wouldn't migrate into the main room. As I switched off the light and made my way into the main room and to my bed, I felt confident the insects had not followed, and I could sleep without fear. Once all the lights had gone out though, and the darkness set in, that's when the fun began.
For most of the night I sat listening to the sound of animals outside, and the scraping of the trees against the tin roof. The building creaked and squeaked to the rhythm of the wind, and a sound from the kitchen played tricks on me, making me think someone or something was in there. I had to get up and look at one point when I felt most convinced, yet nothing was there. A strange sound in the roof was audible for much of the night as something was clawing and moving about. I thought rats possibly, or some other native Australian creature. I didn't like to think.
All in all it was not the best night sleep I have ever had, and the thought of more nights like this brought on a sense of dread. I had to keep telling myself this was Australia, and this is what I came here to experience. I would try to enjoy myself from here on in, and maybe I might learn to actually like it here. We'll see.
WWOOFing appears to be quite popular among travellers, and many that I have met have used one of the many Australian holiday packages available to get themselves out here to try it for themselves, and I would have to say I would certainly recommend this to anybody interested in seeing the real Australia, or any country for that matter.

LTB Q-Bean U
Over the years, there have been many great innovations in personal audio. The revolution began with the Walkman, and then the portable CD player was introduced. Followed by the MiniDisc (which never caught on in the US), and most recently, the popular iPod and Zune. But for those of us audio/videophiles whose collection of media is so extensive that it cannot fit into one device, where do we turn? Our computer of course! Like most of you, no matter how much hard drive space I have, I can always find new movies and music to fill it to capacity. So how would it be possible for us to enjoy all that wonderful media without being confined to one room? Or listen to our music and movies at night without having to keep it down? Looks like LTB Audio thought the same thing and has produced a product that will help set you free. That product is called the Q-Bean. "The LTB Q-Bean Wireless 2.0 Headphone link system lets you move in your world so your music and media can follow."

Closer Look:
Immediately upon removing the plastic wrap from the package, you discover a very unique style of box. The wings of the box swing open, revealing the main components of the package. As you can see in the first couple of photos, the Q-Bean, the earphones, and the puck transmitter are placed on trays that rest over the top of the remaining items.
The package includes the Q-Bean, a puck transmitter, a pair of noise-canceling earphones, a USB charge cord (Q-Bean), a neck strap, the product guide, and a pouch for transportation.
The product guide is very simple and easy to understand, although it is only printed in English. It details all the features, multi-key functions, technical specifications, and the necessary info needed for getting started.

COSTA MESA – For the past several months, Costa Mesa officials have been looking at ways to address residents' complaints about sober living facilities in residential areas, and Tuesday night, council members will discuss new city regulations aimed at curbing certain activity at those facilities.
The proposed nuisance ordinance is the city's attempt to punish activity that has been associated with the sober living homes, as well as certain motels and properties with recurring problems, Assistant CEO Rick Francis said earlier this year. It classifies nuisances as activity such as noise, large groups of people gathering to smoke outside or multiple vehicles parked along the street.
In June, the council reviewed a draft ordinance but sent city staff back to the drawing board, saying that version was unclear on how existing city code would be changed and that the proposed rules might be overly broad.
The city now has 115 sober living homes listed in Costa Mesa, a figure that changes continuously as staff members learn about more of the facilities, said Mike Tucker, a code enforcement officer who tracks the number of sober living homes. Many of the facilities aren't required to register with the city or state, he said.
Mayor Jim Righeimer has held two community meetings in recent months to hear residents' concerns about sober living homes, ranging from petty theft to late-night noise. Righeimer said in those meetings that the city was working on the ordinance but also was trying to steer clear of legal pitfalls.
Also tonight, the council is slated to address two Fairview Park issues. A $2 million plan to add 10 parking spaces, a playground and entryway in the southwest quadrant of the park was approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission last month. But residents around the park have slammed the plan, saying it could draw too much traffic and noise to the area. Councilwoman Sandy Genis has appealed the commission's decision, citing residents' concerns. The council will review that appeal tonight.
Another Fairview Park item is a proposal to renew the agreement for the Orange County Model Engineers to use land in the east side of the park. The hobbyist club operates a model train that people can ride through the park along a five-mile system of track, train station and maintenance yard. The club's 25-year agreement with the city will expire this month, and though they'd asked for another 25-year agreement, the council is slated to consider extending their pact with the city only to the end of 2014.
A resident group is planning a show of support for Costa Mesa police on Tuesday before the City Council meeting begins.
At 5 p.m., while the City Council is in its closed-session meeting, the group Costa Mesans for Responsible Government will gather outside council chambers to draw attention to crime statistics in Costa Mesa and press for the city to hire more police officers.
A recent tally by the FBI showed that property crime in Costa Mesa and other Orange County cities rose last year, an increase local police suspected was linked to the state's prison realignment program that shifts lower-level state prisoners to local supervision.
Group members say the number of police officers in Costa Mesa has fallen to a dangerous level and an acrimonious relationship between city leadership and the police officers is deterring qualified officer job candidates.

I think my teeth move faster than most peoples because they're in the new position in just a couple of days. But my dentist is insisting that I wait two weeks before getting a new aligner. I feel like this is slowing down my treatment. I want to finish as quickly as possible. What's the point of making me wait?
Audra T. – Maryland
Believe it or not, your dentist has a very important reason for making you wait the full two weeks. Most people's teeth move into the new position very quickly, generally within a few days. The remainder of the time is designed to allow the bone that surrounds your tooth root time to move into position, so it can stabilize your tooth.
If you don't wait the full two weeks between your Invisalign aligners, the bone won't have time to adjust to the new position. That will lead to your teeth coming loose and even falling out.
What you felt like was your dentist holding you back, was actually him protecting you from losing your teeth. Even with you having to wait the full two weeks between your aligners, Invisalign is still twice as fast as traditional braces.

Once again for the Hawks and their opponent, all the scoring was done in the first half and the second half was a defensive stalemate as Hartnell held off the Hawks.
Preston Magonigal scored the lone goal for CRC on a penalty kick to end the first half scoring. The goal was Magonigal's third of the season, his second on a penalty kick, one of two he had on the evening. Magonigal has scored three times this year on just five shots.
Alexander Mercado was in goal for the Hawks saving five of the seven shots he faced from the Panthers. Mercado's record is now 1-1 on the season with a save percentage of .714 and a goals against average of 2.00.
The Hawks drop to 3-2 on the year with their three game winning streak snapped
Next up for the Hawks is a 1pm match against Antelope Valley College on the road this coming Saturday.

My newest (visible) scar. Amazing that they can do neck surgery through this little incision. Pretty soon, you'll barely be able to see it at all. So I thought I'd better document it now! Plus, this is what I do when I can't go out shooting: I take pictures of myself! :)

Essential Tips for Your Car and the Winter Weather
The holidays are fast approaching and the traffic will steadily increase. The weather doesn't help either. Here are just a few things you can do to help protect yourself and your family while traveling.
Check Your Battery
Your battery is crucial in pretty much every aspect of the operation of your automobile. Without it, you can't start you engine or run any auxiliary components. You should have it checked to ensure it is producing enough power to crank the motor, even in the coldest conditions. Also, have your alternator checked to make sure it is producing the correct voltage. If it stops working, you only have a little battery power left and then you're out of luck.
Equip with the Proper Tires
The most overlooked part of winterizing a vehicle. Those 4 little patches of rubber are solely responsible for holding you and you loved ones on the road. If you live in a climate that is frequented by snow, or plan on traveling into one, make sure you have the proper tires on your vehicle. Another important thing to keep in mind is proper inflation. Under-inflating or over-inflating can reduce overall traction.
Proper Maintenance
Engine - Seems obvious, but many people think that a small problem will stay small until the weather gets better. (If it were only so easy) If your motor is idling unevenly, or has problems starting, get it taken care of immediately, it isn't worth it to wait.
Keep Your Windshield Clean
Windshield wipers, another little piece of equipment that doesn't usually get much TLC. Snow can get heavy after only a small amount has accumulated and everyday windshield wipers don't always offer the needed strength to remove such weight. A heavier duty pair of snow and ice wipers can really make you life a little easier.
Check your Anti-Freeze
Anti-Freeze - When you park your car for the night, the engine block will eventually reach the same temperature as the surrounding air. If that is below freezing and your anti-freeze isn't rated to a low enough temperature, that could easily result in a cracked block. Something like that isn't cheap to replace.
Keep Your Lights Bright
If you have to drive at night, your lights need to be bright and aimed correctly. More importantly, they have to be clean and functioning properly. Replace any dulling or broken bulbs and make sure the lens covers are clean and not cracked. Cracks can let in moisture and cause failures.
Watch Your Fuel Gauge
You should always keep your fuel level above half a tank when traveling. In the unfortunate event that you get stuck, you can turn the vehicle on every hour or so to keep the battery charged and the hot air flowing. It also adds a little weight for some added traction.
Have an Emergency Kit On-Hand
If the worst case scenario does happen and you do end up in an accident, you will want to be prepared. You should have an emergency kit somewhere in the car. Some things you may want to include are a blanket, bottled water, non-perishable snacks, flares, first-aid kit and a small shovel.
Test Your Heater
The HVAC system is you best defense against foggy windows and the only real way to provide heat for you and your passengers. If it isn't working properly, it may impair your ability to see and make for a very cold ride.
Do Proper Planning
No matter how many times it is said, planning ahead is always the best way to help prevent accidents. Tell a few different people where you are going, the route you will be using and what time you expect to arrive. Look at the weather and try to avoid heavy snow and ice. Stick to the main-roads as much as possible and leave plenty of time so you can concentrate on driving carefully.
The winter can be beautiful and provide some breath-taking scenery. On the other hand, it can make travel and general day-to-day activities very difficult. As long as you recognize that a small threat is present, you shouldn't have a problem. Drive safe and Happy Holidays.

Small number of people have chance in becoming millionaires. The reason is that they don't know that the chance for acquiring millions depends only on their mentality.
In 2013 there were 12 million millionaires in the world, and most of them has created their wealth by themselves.
For example, Oprah, whose fortune is estimated at 3 billion dollars comes from poor, rural area. Howard Schultz, president and CEO of Starbucks has grew up in Brooklyn. His net worth is now 2.5 billion.
It is not possible, not to ask a question "How did they do it?". What differs them from many other people in the world?
Here are a few examples of how millionaires think differently then the other people.
1. Millionaires believe that you have to be somebody who will get rich. Average people think they have to do something in order to get rich. Regular folks focus on results of their actions. Rich people are focused on learning and growth from every experience. Founder of IKEA has pointed out that only those who sleep don't make mistakes.
2. In order for you to be comfortable, you have to be uncomfortable at times. That is a small price to pay in order to live the dream. Physical, psychological and emotional comfort is the primary goal of middle class, while world class realizes early that it isn't easy to become a millionaire.
3. Rich people focus to earn more, while average people focus on keeping the money they earned.
4. Millionaires see money as a positive thing, while average people see it as a root of all evil. Rich people believe that money can solve problems, while middle class thinks money is only a necessary part of life.
5. Low expectations aren't on a daily plan of a millionaire.
7. Rich people follow their passion. One of the smartest strategies of world class is do what you love, and find a way to get payed for that.
8. Millionaires believe that being rich is their god given right. Middle class thinks that being rich is based on privilege and luck. Millionaires believe in forging their own luck. They know whether they have something to offer to the world.

Continued from part I –
So we were off onto a broken dirt track that supposedly led (in the wrong direction) towards Kempakerai and supposedly would return to blacktop within a few hundred meters. The latter was true and soon we found ourselves climbing a mountainside, deeper and deeper into the jungle. Within a couple of kilometers, we climbed to a ridgeline and came to a fork in the road. There was a stone sign, presumingly giving directions and distances. Unfortunately it was in Tamil and nobody in the car could read the Tamil script, so it was no help. Both directions seemed equally jungly and we were certainly not where we planned to go, so we randomly went left. Within a few minutes, we came to a bridge over a dry riverbed. We parked the car and started exploring up the riverbed.
It was easy walking and we could look for animal tracks if any were to be found. They were to be found in abundance, but were all cows and goats. There might possibly have been deer among them. I find the tracks difficult to discern, but there were at least three types of spoor in the river bed. There were the usual cow patties, the tiny balls usually associated with goats and deer and a third kind. It consisted of small, elongated cylinders, about one centimeter in diameter and three centimeters long. These were in turn woven into logs. I'd seen them before while hiking in the Western Ghats and there were no goats of cows in that area. Might they have been sambar or chital?
Eventually, we stopped and had a lunch of bread and hard boiled eggs brought from home. We were at a bend in the riverbed, just below a peak. As we ate lunch, we watched a small jungle fire slowly spread. We photographed it, listened to its crackle and eventually decided to clear out of that area lest we get caught in a spreading forest fire. That was the first of several such jungle fires we saw. None of them seemed to be in any hurry to start a conflagration the way fires in the Pine Barrens do. We need not have been concerned.
So we went back to the car and made our way back to the work in the road, so that we would not be caught on the wrong side of the ridge if the fire reached there. As the fire was far from the fork, we quickly forgot about it and went to explore the other way. We wound our way down switchbacks with spectacular views of a large valley between two rocky ridge lines. Eventually the way came down to the valley floor and as we drove along, passing tribals collecting sacks and sacks of tamarind. We also started seeing elephant dung. We reached a washed out bridge over a dry river bed (the same creek as before, only downstream) and rather than risking getting the Innova caught in the sand, we stopped there and started exploring the riverbed and the trails in the area. We found the usual signs of domestic animals as well as old, dried up elephant spoor and what appeared to by a deep footprint left when the earth on the riverbank was last soft.
Taking a break back at the car after one of the exploratory forays, we shared our cookes with some villagers heading home after collecting tamarind. They were delighted to have our cookies and the eldest man among them divided them up very carefully, ensuring that every man and woman received the same number of cookies. After they finished, rather than simply tossing the bag aside, they took it with them. Can I infer that tribals don't litter? If so, I'm delighted. Wrenzo informed us that they had told him that we should not be around after dark as elephants regularly came through there and you never knew what mood they might be in.
We still had time though, so we set out to use our last hour before we had to leave. We followed a trail uphill through the scrub jungle. Sammy was loudly announcing that we were in the scrub jungle and that there were elephants and leopards around; ensuring that there would in fact be no leopards or elephants within a one kilometer radius. Near the top, we saw a group of large, dark, rounded shapes? Elephants or boulders? If they were elephants, they would likely bolt if we approached. If they felt that the young had to be protected, it could turn ugly, so I held the kids at a safe distance while Hanna and the Daniela's sisters cautiously approached. I brought the kids up when it was determined that they were boulders. We did find lots of dried up spoor in the area of the boulders. There were no recent signs or tracks however, leading me to believe that the pachyderms have moved to wetter areas –possibly to the banks of the Cauvery – for the dry season.
We also found large, ground based spider webs everywhere. Notably, they seemed strewn and clumped among the rocks of the riverbed as well; seemingly washed there. Given that the riverbed has been dry for weeks or months, this is a testament to the durability of the spiders' work.
When we got back to the car, Wrenzo informed us that some of the jungle dwellers had told him that there was one lone elephant in the area with an injury. It was ill tempered and had overturned a vehicle a couple of days earlier. I'm not certain about the authenticity to embellishment ratio of the story was (especially given that the signs of elephant activity were old), but I'm certainly glad that we did not see any lone, irritable elephants.
Reluctantly, we returned to Bangalore. This is exactly the kind of place that I had been looking for this past year and I've already started formulating plans for the next trip. Interestingly, during the trip, I recorded our various places in my GPS. It is a Garmin Forerunner and not really intended for navigation, but rather as an advanced training device. It is a useful tool for marking locations and recording paths. After arriving home, I put them into Google Earth to see just how far off we were and what landmarks we should keep an eye out for next time. I now believe that we were actually in "spider valley".
Astonishingly, we ate lunch a mere mile downstream from Kempakerai. Had we continued up the river bed, instead of turning back due to the jungle fire, we'd have shortly reached Kempakerai. Had we driven another few minutes instead of stopping at the bridge, we'd have reached the same by road. The directions had been correct; despite not mentioning the fork in the road. We had thought that we were north of where we were, on the main Anchetti-Pennagaram road, when in fact we were south of that on a road that was not on the map. Where we parked the car the second time was about 4km from the banks of the Chinar river and a mere 12km from Hogenakal Falls as the crow flies. The other option for spider valley has a road running through it. The valley we were in has a paved road, but it is only a single lane track; not a proper road and it seems to fit Anderson's description quite well..
In any case, I plan to return.
