Telephone services to Niue have been restored after links were cut by the massive destruction caused by Cyclone Heta.
But on Niue not all numbers are operating because of cable damage.
The services were restored using equipment supplied through NZAid and Telecom New Zealand.
There are more appeals to be held in the Cook Islands to help cyclone victims in Niue.
By the end of last week, an appeal in Rarotonga had raised more than 100-thousand New Zealand dollars.
The head of the appeal committee, Norman George, says more is to follow.
"We are planning to hold a special one for the northern islands and there are individual groups affiliated to Niue that want to do the same thing."
The governor of American Samoa, Togiola Tulafono, says the damage caused by cyclone Heta nearly two weeks ago is in excess of 150 million US dollars.
Togiola says it is beyond the means of the territorial government to pay for the damage caused to the infrastructure.
He is not said whether he will ask the territorial assembly to appropriate money for the recovery efforts.

So, despite all your comments I am in work today. I spoke to the midwife and she said that there is not too much to worry about. If I get flu I need to rest and keep hydrated but its not likely to cause problems or harm baby.
The real issue is how stressed its making me. I am confident that I am doing the right thing and it wouldn't sit right to phone in sick when there is nothing wrong with me. The problem is that most of my colleagues (barring senior staff, my boss and personnel) think I shouldn't be here and keep telling me so. This is stressing me out a lot. Am I being irresponsible? (No because I have taken medical advice). Am I a bad mother? Should I really be here? What if I get swine flu and something happens to my baby? Will it be my fault?
Ultimately, I am doing what Mr WF and I have agreed is the right thing. I guess that we have got to get used to people disagreeing with or disapproving of our parenting. Doesn't make it any easier though.
However, I do have a nice day with a group of pupils who are practising a performance with a comedian. I don't have to be involved at all so I have brought a good book and my knitting and am looking forward to a gentle day.

Hmong funeral ceremonies are a time of mourning and celebrating the deceased's life. Funerals vary and can range from three to twelve days, depending on the individual and other variables. For traditional Hmong families, the funeral process is longer and more complex than the Hmong families who have converted into Christianity.
Traditional Hmong funeral process consists of:
· The sacrificial animal ceremony
· The beating of the Hmong drum
· Playing of the Hmong flute
· The sacred song
· The deceased dressed in traditional Hmong attire
· Burning of incenses and paper money
All are used to help guide the deceased to his/her ancestors in the spirit world. The descendants of the deceased usually prepare the sacrificial animal ceremony, as they provide enough to feasts the guests who come to pay homage towards the decease. As the funeral is taking place, the descendants are called upon to take incense and bow to the deceased. The incense bowing is used to help send the deceased off to the other world and reflect on when the deceased was still alive with them. Descendants hold many responsibilities, as they also are to fold paper money that would later be lit for the deceased. The burning of the paper money is so the deceased would have money to take care of him/herself in the spirit world.
During the ceremonial process, an immediate female family member is alongside guarding the deceased's casket at all times to ensure that nothing happens. Because there have been stories of people attending funerals to go and take the soul or bodily parts of the deceased, a family member is stationed as a watch guard of guests that go to view the deceased in the open casket.
On the final day before the burial has taken place, the shaman along with an individual who plays the Hmong flute known as the "qeej" will lead the deceased's spirit out of the funeral home to join his/her ancestors. The shaman tosses two horns against the wall to determine whether or not the deceased will leave for the spirit world, this process must be repeated until the two horns both face up, indicating that the deceased's spirit is leaving on its journey to the spirit world. The deceased is usually said to be riding a black horse to join his/her relative in the after-life. The truth is that the black horse that the deceased rides to join his/her ancestors is the horse of death that sends the decease, as some describe it, into the pits of hell.
The adopted Christian Hmong funerals are much simpler when compared to the traditional ones. Not only is it simpler, but also the representation of the process sends a different meaning. In a Christian Hmong funeral, the ceremony also takes three days, but does not last the full 24 hours a day and the deceased is dressed in all white or the color of the family's preference. Each day is broken up into sessions of church services that are dedicated to remembering the deceased. Unlike traditional funerals, the doors are locked up each night as family and guests leave and reopened the following morning. The process is to hope and be wishful that the deceased is led to the gates of heaven rather than down into hell.
The beliefs of the Hmong people have varied among families, causing the customs and traditions to change. Hmong funerals are construed differently, being polar opposites from traditional to Christian adaptation.

addendum: learn to answer laterCategories productivity, Working smart
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.
– Douglas Adams
When asking somebody a question, assuming that they are even listening, you can expect them to either:
- know the answer
- don't know what you're talking about
If they know the answer they're going to give it to you right away, and that's fine… because they know what they're talking about.
If they're in the clueless gang, they're either going to give you a "sort of correct in their own opinion" answer or they're going to recognize the fact that they don't know, honestly. I just hate it when people give me "their correct answer"… and I'm not the only one.
Most people don't realize that the choice they make in that exact instance is a make it or break it deal, especially if it's a first impression.
Appearances do matter, and somebody jumping directly to conclusions even if their knowledge of the situation or problem at hand is close to nothing will automatically get tagged as either "clueless" or just plain stupid.
On the other hand, being thorough and wanting to give the correct answer (not the first one) is highly prized, because… it's more productive to work on facts rather than fantasy.
So, if somebody asks you a question that you should be able to answer but you can't:
- honestly say that you can't answer at this time and that you'll get back to them in a very short time
- find the right answer and validate it – if you're going to take your time, make sure that you are right
- get back to them as quickly as possible – never over-promise and under-deliver
This is really important for anything related to costs (such as licensing issues and estimates), compatibility or interoperability questions (most of them are tricky anyway) and client-facing issue.
Ensuring that your answers are correct and that you had time to think things through will help you do your job better and I've never seen a manager say "I don't want the right answer in 10 minutes, I want the wrong one now!".
So don't just get things done, start getting things right.

Newspaper article International New York Times
Too Quick to Cut the Cable Cord
Article excerpt
A comparison of cable replacement services popular in the United States finds annoyances, like restrictions on content and missing channels.
This year, Michael Gartenberg, a former technology analyst, took the brave step of canceling his cable subscription. After six months of tinkering with alternatives, he went running back.
Mr. Gartenberg had subscribed to PlayStation Vue, Sony's online video service that offers a slimmer bundle of TV channels than a traditional cable subscription for about half the price. But many of his favorite channels were missing. And after a power failure, he got locked out of his Vue account because his internet address was reset and Sony thought he had switched locations.
Mr. Gartenberg eventually wondered whether Vue was worth the money he was saving. "At that point, there had to be better alternatives than this, and it turned out there was," he said. "It was cable."
Mr. Gartenberg's return to cable is antithetical to the accelerating growth of so-called cord-cutters, the people who have parted ways with cable in favor of streaming video services like Netflix and Hulu. Last year, there were 4.9 million cord-cutters in the United States, up 11 percent from the year before, according to the research firm eMarketer. Yet the overwhelming majority of Americans -- about 100 million homes -- still cling to cable.
What could be getting in the way of cutting the cord? To assess this, I tried Sony's Vue and Dish Network's similar streaming service, Sling TV, which also offers a slimmer bundle of TV channels than traditional cable.
After testing the two for a week, I had an answer: Neither streaming service felt like an adequate substitute for a cable package, largely because of content restrictions, broadcast delays and the difficulty of using a game controller with one of the services.
Comparing the bundles Vue's starter bundle has more than 55 channels, including ESPN, NBC and Disney, for $30 a month. The higher-tier bundles have 70 channels a month for $35 a month and 100 channels for $45 a month.
Sling TV's base bundle of about 25 channels, which includes ESPN, AMC and CNN, starts at $20 a month. …

On April 25th, MEI Jianping, Deputy Director of the High-tech Development and Industrialization Division of China's Ministry of Science and Technology, accompanied by the Provincial Science and Technology Department Zone Director Wang Xilin. came to HEU to conduct on-site research on the work of the National University Science Park and the development of HEU's student innovation and entrepreneurship. Deputy director MEI also heard reports on related work. Deputy Secretary of the Party committee XIA Guihua accompanied the investigation and participated in the discussion.
Deputy Secretary XIA introduced the overall situation of HEU's student innovation and entrepreneurship work. He said that HEU attached great importance to students' innovation and entrepreneurship work and formed an inner-school linkage mechanism which includes the Youth League Committee, the Ministry of Learning and Industry, and the National University Science Park to provide students with innovative training. The entire chain of training and protection, including the consciousness to form a technological company for entrepreneurship, creates an ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship.
After on-site research and hearing reports, Deputy director MEI stated that the innovative and entrepreneurial work of students in HEU is very distinctive. It has become a system, connotation, and achievement full of vitality. The experience is worth promoting; the construction of the National University Science Park is very prominent. Reasonable planning and effective organization of service guarantees to provide a model for the development of university science parks. He pointed out that relying on the scientific and technological achievements of universities to transform and establish technology-based companies can help companies quickly adapt to the market. It is a very good exploration of the implementation of the double-creation work.
The assets management company and the relevant members of the Youth League Committee accompanied the visit.

Anti-native DNA antibodies and DNA are present in cryopreClpItates from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and some other cryoglob- ulinemic states. The data suggest that these antibodies may be bound in immune complexes. The demonstration of native DNA in these precipitates raises the likelihood that they represent specific antigen in these complexes. Whether or not these complexes play a pathogenetic role in nonlupus inflammatory diseases remains to be demonstrated. References Aarden, L. A., de Groot, E. R., and Feltkamp, T. E.

Introverts and the Office.
Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted August 05, 2013
As long as I've been alive, I've been told that I'm a big talker/big feeler and in many ways that made alot of sense. The MBTI told me I was an ENFP which definitely made alot of sense in my younger years. I was always the idiot bringing donuts on someone's birthday, planning nights out with colleagues, or trying to recover emotionally from some failed effort toward an outcome that was never really in my hands anyway.
But the last few years I've been feeling something else. I think...I'm...an I. As in...I think I'm actually an INTROVERT. I've been reading Susan Cain's Quiet book and following her website The Power of Introverts and...it's really kind of me. I do need to recover after social outings. I hate small talk. I prefer social events that involve very small groups. I don't like conflict. I love working on my own. I love weekends with absolutely nothing scheduled.
It's not to say I'm completely anti-social. Of course not. But there's been some freedom in realizing that I enjoy the small stuff. Perhaps all those years of planning events were about something else - wanting to make sure a person felt cared for - which can be done in many different ways. I'd like to re-take the MBTI and see what it comes up with.
Finding quiet space in an office environment is a real challenge for anyone, but it exhausts the introvert on an entirely different level. Really, the origin of the aromatherapy mood sprays I sell came from my own work-related stresses. So when I came across this article today, An Introvert's Guide to Surviving (and Thriving) in the Workplace by Carolyn Gregoire I thought I'd share it. For all the introverts who may be out there...
And by the way, you can purchase the famous Ostrich Pillow right here.

Six Ways to Last in Ministry
I created this FREE one-page pdf that includes my top six strategies to:
- Energize your ministry day to day and long-term.
- Find more resources for ministry
- Create more space in your life and work
Enter your email address to get Six Ways to Last in Ministry and I'll email you right away.
What Are You Reading This Spring?
Have you read anything this spring? Spring and fall seem like the hardest times to get chunks of reading done. I've got a shorter list, too, but here's the latest.
1. Oliver Twist, for my reading group (I never would have read it on my own). Even in this, his second book, Dickens is a terrific storyteller, his characters are unforgettable, and his social commentary (with a dash of sarcasm) fascinating. Not simply for junior English class.
2. Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation. I've been reading this book devotionally, about a paragraph at a time, for months. It's rich, like spiritual chocolate.
3. Patsy Rodenburg, The Second Circle: How to Use Positive Energy for Success in Every Situation. I like the British title much better: simply, Presence. This is not just another self-help book. The author is a vocal coach for actors, one of the best. The book is really about paying attention to our presence with others and in the world.
4. Deer Drink the Moon: Poems of Oregon, edited by Liz Nakazawa. I met Liz at a publishing event recently. I'm not much of a poetry reader: I read too fast. So it's a good discipline for me to slow down. I've been trying to read a poem every day or so. These poems cover the geography of Oregon, and they are wonderful.
5. The Girl of His Dreams, by Donna Leon. I've already mentioned before that her Venetian mysteries are fantastic, and this is the most recent.
Are You Breathing?
One of the best resources for church leaders is constantly available, and free. It's your breath. Using breath consciously can help us slow down and pay better attention to ourselves and others. Our brains need oxygen to work well. In a difficult meeting or conversation we can find ourselves breathing rapidly and shallowly, which can keep us from thinking clearly, just when we need to most.
Here are some ways to use breathing to help your ministry:
1. In prayer. Sit still and breathe, in awareness of God's presence, for five minutes. Or one.
2. In meetings. When you notice your heart pounding, start breathing more deeply. Take at least five breaths. No one will notice, but you will calm down.
3. Before worship. Stand in the worship space before anyone gets there, and breathe to the back of the room. You'll be more present in the pulpit. (This exercise comes from the great vocal coach for actors, Patsy Rodenburg.)
How are you breathing?
Are You Too Focused?
How focused are you? Too much can be as problematic as too little, and widening our horizons can benefit our leadership. I recently led a clergy retreat in Hoquiam, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. Before I headed home, I asked how far we were from the ocean. "About fifteen minutes," someone said. I am not one to meander home; typically I drive straight through with minimal breaks. But I thought to myself, it's ridiculous to be this close to the beach and not go. I could feel the pull of the many things I had to do, but I made myself take the little trip. I didn't spend all afternoon there, but I did find that even a short glimpse of waves and sand, and especially the long ocean horizon, gave me a much-needed sense of perspective.
Widening our perspective and taking a break are about more than stress relief. When we have some new experiences, we can begin to see our leadership context in a new light. And when our perspective is different, we lead differently, and others have the chance to respond to our wider view.
Here are some things that help me keep my focus from becoming too narrow:
1. Nature. In addition to the ocean, there's a park near my house with old, tall trees. I lean against a tree, and it reminds me that it's been around a lot longer than I have. My anxiety of the moment is just for a moment, not for a lifetime. I'm really an indoor person, but getting outside is a gift to myself and those I work with.
2. Art. Music, art and fiction feed my own creativity in writing, speaking and leading. I do better work when I keep my creative vision fresh by staying in touch with those who are creative in the arts.
3. Other leaders. In my own arena of church leadership, and in others, it's easy to connect only with others in my field. I find when I connect, in person and by reading, with leaders in other fields, I discover the gifts of my own area, and that my struggles are not unique to the church. I'm challenged to learn some things I need to know. And I'm more gracious and less whiny when I stay in touch more widely. And beyond collegial relationships, making friends who are not clergy keeps me fresher and makes my life more interesting.
How's your focus? What do you do to keep it broad enough? What might you try? Who might you connect with who brings a different perspective?
What Do You Tell Your Spouse?
I lived in a parsonage next to the church for thirteen years, a situation that is becoming less and less common. But wherever the pastor lives, the question of managing the intersection of family and church life is almost always an issue.
For church leaders who are married, it's important to be thoughtful about how much to share about the ministry with our spouses. It's tempting to vent, particularly when challenges arise: when we have a difficult pastoral encounter or come home furious from a board meeting. Clergy are automatically in an emotional triangle with their spouse and their congregation, and we often want to pull the spouse in more intensely when things get difficult. This response is probably inevitable at times, but there are reasons to avoid doing it automatically.
Here are some reasons not to vent to a spouse:
1. He or she often has a relationship with the people we are venting about. Our venting causes the tension that properly belongs in our relationship with the church member can spill over into that other relationship. And it may keep us from directly addressing the issue appropriately with the parishioner.
2. Our spouse will find it hard to be neutral. They are probably going to automatically take our side (which is what we want when we're upset). But counsel they give us may not be the most helpful. It may be more useful to find someone outside the congregation, a calm and trusted colleague, mentor or coach, to work through the issues.
3. If we're talking about church all the time with our spouse, we are not working on our relationship. Ministry even at the best of times is not enough to support a marriage. And when anxiety is high, we may lose sight of the other person altogether.
4. Boundaries are critical in ministry. Ministry marriages need boundaries, between the church and the marriage, and between the pastor and spouse. True intimacy requires appropriate boundaries. As a pastor, I found that if I could keep from blowing off steam about church to my husband I could manage myself better when I had to go back to church. Getting outraged just seemed to feed my outrage, and didn't help me face the challenges at hand.
This week, consider: what do you tell your spouse, and why?
What Leaders Inspire You, 2
Teresa of Avila is another leader who inspires me. Like Shackleton, I've been considering her work for nearly a decade, and I never get tired of her story. Teresa became a leader in 15th century Spain, a time when women were expected to know their place. She was a mystic in a time when mysticism was suspect. Yet through savvy, charm and sheer determination, she reformed her Carmelite order, navigated the challenges of the Inquisition, and wrote books about the spiritual life which are still read today. She was the first woman declared a Doctor of the Catholic Church.
Here's a beautiful image of Teresa by Robert Lentz. I have this picture in my office, and I look at it every day.
What Leaders Inspire You?
Who are your favorite leaders? One of mine is Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton. I've been intrigued by his story for the last decade.
In 1914, Shackleton set out on an expedition to cross the Antarctic continent for the first time, but disaster struck. His ship, The Endurance became frozen into the ice. When the ice began to melt, further disaster struck. The pressure of the ice began to break up The Endurance, and they had to abandon ship. After a couple of attempts to haul the lifeboats and their supplies, Shackleton ordered a halt. They camped out on the ice to wait for the movement of the pack ice to bring them to open water.
Months later, they were finally able to launch the boats. After seven days, they landed on Elephant Island—nothing but barren rock and seals. Shackleton knew he had to go on. With the largest of the lifeboats and five key men, he headed back to South Georgia Island, 800 miles over the roughest ocean on the planet, in winter. Through incredible navigation and sheer luck they landed 16 days later—but on the wrong side of the island. Shackleton and two of his men had to cross the mountainous island which had never been charted. After 36 hours of continuous walking they reached the whaling station on the other side. Then they returned to rescue the men on Elephant Island. Unbelievably, no one was lost from this expedition.
Shackleton showed tremendous courage, and the willingness to attempt the impossible. He knew exactly what he was after. After the disaster, his goal became survival for all, and he never lost sight of that goal. He was able to tolerate the loneliness of being in charge, of being responsible for his men. He could deal with the challenges of the environment, and also with the challenge of dealing with a diverse group with varying needs, even facing down a potential mutiny.
At the same time, Shackleton was always connected to his men. He was always aware of what was going on with them. He pushed them hard, challenging them to do more than they ever thought possible. He coddled them, at times, and made sure they had as much fun and entertainment as possible.
Most of us don't face life or death choices, or an Antarctic climate. Shackleton's story gives me perspective on my own challenges, and shows me that the impossible can be possible.

How Do We Handle Succession?
Are you thinking about succession? What will happen when you leave? Churches frequently don't pay much attention to planning for future leadership. Sometimes a long-term pastor is understandably dependent on his or her role, and finds it too difficult to discuss the future. "Who am I if I'm not the pastor of this church?" may be a very real question. Another may be, "Who is this church without Pastor X?" Considering these questions over time as a transition approaches, or even before, personally and with key leaders, can be good for everyone's growth. Pastoral leaders can feel vulnerable discussing this. We can wonder, what if they say, we'd be better off without you? But helping the church grapple with difficult questions about the future is part of leadership.
Churches are not the only organizations who struggle with succession. Here's a fascinating article from the New York Times Magazine about the New York Yankees: "Oedipus Bronx". And check out the story of King David's sons to see how intense it can get (II Samuel 12-I Kings 2). It makes church life look easy.
Thanks for Reading My Blog This Year
I've been blogging about church leadership for just over a year now. I hope it's been helpful to you as you've read it. Here's what it's done for me:
1) Provided a structure for me to write down my thoughts about leadership at least a couple of times a week.
2) Given me access to the thoughts and reflections of others on topics that I value. Thanks so much to all you who have commented. Keep it up!
3) The discipline of writing regularly led me to write a book proposal for my new book, Leaders Who Last: Sustaining Yourself and Your Ministry, which was accepted by Church Publishing and will come out early next year.
4) Gave me the delight of seeing people at speaking engagements around the country who say, "I'm reading your blog."
Thanks for reading. I look forward to more in the next year.

It's the first event of its kind in Kershaw County.
Jackson School will host its first IGA LEGO Invitational Feb. 19, a competition that will allow LEGO Robotics teams to collaborate with each other about robot designs and programming skills.
"Every year, LEGO teams have the opportunity to compete in regionals, but this year, our team did not win. The kids were just devastated. So we wanted to give them and all of the other teams at regionals another chance to compete," said Jackson School Principal Dr. Gerald Gary. "And from there, we decided to hold the first annual IGA LEGO Invitational."
Gary said the competition for elementary and middle schools, which is sponsored by the Camden IGA, will allow regional winners one final opportunity to prepare for the state LEGO robotics tournament.
Additionally, it will give schools that did not qualify for the state tournament an opportunity to compete and share what they have learned since their regional competition.
"So once we got the idea, we had to think about, 'Now how could we make this attractive?'" Gary said. "We talked with IGA about making it a community event, and they were really supportive about it. They liked the idea and we went with it."
And since getting the word out, as many as 14 schools have signed up for the competition, far exceeding Gary's expectations.
"It's funny, because when we started planning we said that if we get 10 teams to sign up then we'll be happy," he said, laughing.
Next year, Gary said he hopes to have 25 to 30 teams signed up for the annual competition. And after five years, he said, he hopes that as many as 40 teams sign up for the competition.
"Our goal is to be the designated stop between the regional and the state competition. Our goal is that five years from now, that this competition will be a pretty big boom for the economy in Kershaw County," he said, adding that several teams plan to stay at hotels in Kershaw County before the competition.
And what's really great about this competition, Gary said, is that it's located right in the county and won't require students to travel to another city.
Thursday, Camden IGA Manager Trey Williams said his store is always willing to partner with Jackson School anytime it needs help.
"We try to help out as much as we can," Williams said, adding that the competition for the students sounded like a really great community event. "It's a win-win for everybody."
The first IGA LEGO Invitational will be Feb. 19 at Jackson School, 1730 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Camden. Registration begins at 8 a.m.

Edmunds' Expert Review
The 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe deserves strong consideration if you're shopping for a large, traditional SUV with impressive towing capacity. But for pure passenger use, a large crossover might work out better.
vehicle overview
Full-size, truck-based SUVs are becoming an increasingly rare sight in showrooms, and understandably so. Not many folks really need the immense capabilities of a pure utility vehicle and are thus better served by more space- and fuel-efficient crossovers. However, there are still those who have horse trailers, boats, campers and other heavy things to lug around, plus they often have snow, mud or slippery boat ramps in their lives. And for them, the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe makes perfect sense.
A smaller sibling to the massive Suburban, the Tahoe manages to combine broad-shouldered toughness with a refined demeanor, making it a good choice for those who take long road trips with their toys in tow. But even when nothing is hooked up to the trailer hitch, the Tahoe makes for a pleasant way to get around, thanks to its high seating position, excellent outward visibility and quiet, comfortable cabin that can seat up to nine passengers.
Within its segment, the 2013 Chevy Tahoe compares well to the Ford Expedition and Toyota Sequoia. The Expedition offers a more practical stow-away third seat but has less towing capacity. The Sequoia is the Tahoe's most serious competitor, with a similar mix of performance and utility.
However, if carrying passengers is more important than towing, a large crossover SUV such as the Chevy Traverse or Ford Flex could be a more practical choice. These vehicles promise better on-road handling, superior fuel economy and more flexible interior arrangements.
2013 Chevrolet Tahoe configurations
The 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe is available in three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ. The Tahoe Hybrid is reviewed separately. Eight seats are standard, but there are two optional seating arrangements: second-row captain's chairs drop the count to seven and an available 40/20/40 front bench seat increases it to nine.
The base Tahoe LS comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, tri-zone manual climate control, six-way power front seats (with driver lumbar adjustment), a 60/40-split second-row seat and 50/50-split removable third-row seat. Also standard are Bluetooth, OnStar and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, rear audio controls, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod/USB audio interface. An optional Convenience package includes power-adjustable pedals, remote ignition, rear parking assist and a rearview camera system.
LT models include most available LS equipment plus foglamps, a locking rear differential, tri-zone automatic climate control, driver memory functions, leather upholstery and a nine-speaker Bose sound system. Available options for the LT include second-row captain's chairs and a Luxury package with heated front and second-row seats (with power release), power-folding mirrors and a power rear liftgate. An optional Z71 Off-Road package adds specially tuned springs and shocks, 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, skid plates and unique front and rear fascias.
LTZ-trimmed Tahoes include the LT Luxury package content with the captain's chairs as standard equipment and add 20-inch wheels, an upgraded air suspension, heated and ventilated 12-way power front seats, a heated steering wheel, power flip-and-fold second-row seats, a navigation system and a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system with digital music storage. The second-row split bench seat is still optional. LTZ options include power-retractable assist steps and a blind-spot warning system.
Optional on the LT and LTZ is the Sun, Entertainment and Destinations package, which includes a sunroof and a rear-seat entertainment system. On the LT, it also includes the navigation system. A Trailering package and a variety of 20- and 22-inch wheels are also optional on the Tahoe.
2013 Highlights
Performance & mpg
All 2013 Chevrolet Tahoes come with a 5.3-liter V8 generating 320 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission transmits power through the rear wheels on 2WD models or all four wheels on 4WD models. The 4WD Tahoe is offered with a choice of either a traditional two-speed transfer case or a single-speed unit without low-range gearing (not available on LTZ).
In Edmunds testing a Tahoe hit 60 mph in about 8.5 seconds -- average for a full-size SUV. EPA-estimated fuel economy is respectable, with 15 mpg city/21 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined. A properly equipped Tahoe can tow up to 8,500 pounds.
Standard safety equipment on the 2013 Chevy Tahoe includes antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags and side curtain airbags. Also standard is OnStar, which includes automatic crash notification, on-demand roadside assistance, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle assistance and turn-by-turn navigation. Rear parking sensors and a rearview camera are available on every Tahoe, while the Tahoe LTZ can be had with a blind-spot warning system.
In government crash safety tests, the Tahoe earned an overall rating of four stars (out of five), with five stars for overall frontal-impact crash protection and five stars for overall side-impact crash protection. Its three-star rollover rating contributed to its lower overall score. In Edmunds brake testing, a Tahoe came to a stop from 60 mph in 134 feet, an average distance for a vehicle in this class.
Fully loaded with cargo and passengers, the 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe weighs more than 3 tons. But the spirited V8 engine provides energetic acceleration, and the suspension is supple enough to yield a compliant and cushioned ride. LTZ buyers get the Autoride suspension that features variable shock damping and air-assisted load-leveling, which is quite useful when towing. The steering isn't particularly responsive in terms of handling, but on the plus side, the Tahoe's tight 39-foot turning circle makes it reasonably maneuverable in town.
While some large crossovers and minivans can seat up to eight people, the Tahoe's main attraction for a vehicle this size is its towing and off-road ability. Family boats, extra cars and small horse trailers easily fall within the Tahoe's maximum towing capacity when it's properly equipped. Also, the Z71 off-road package includes upgraded shocks, more aggressive tires, skid plates and an automatic locking rear differential, all of which increase driver confidence in off-pavement situations such as ski roads, muddy rodeo grounds or campground trails.
The Tahoe's cabin features an attractive design supported with high-quality fit and finish, including wood trim on the LTZ model. The control layout is straightforward and the switchgear operation is intuitive. Large front seats provide comfort and support for long drives, though the lack of a telescoping steering wheel might be a drawback for some drivers.
One of the Tahoe's advantages over its competition is the ability to accommodate nine occupants with the LS's available front split bench seat. However, the Tahoe lacks a convenient flat-folding third-row seat. The 50/50 split rear bench seats are heavy, awkward to remove and must be stored elsewhere to open up the cargo area to its full 109 cubic feet of storage capacity. With the third seat in place, there's barely 17 cubic feet of cargo space behind the seat. If maximum passenger space isn't a priority, the Tahoe can be had with bucket seats in the middle row.

More About This Model
This time of year, the air dripping from the snow-capped San Gabriel Mountains is cold and clean, and this early in the morning it brings an unnatural silence to the industrial heart of Fontana, California. It's lovely, but fleeting. This town's new alarm clock is a tick-tock from detonation.
Idling near-silently at the edge of 3,300 feet of arrow-straight pavement, a 701-horsepower, 7.0-liter 2013 SLP Chevy Tahoe 700hp Supercharged Sport Edition is about to rip this day a new one.
Complicate and Add Displacement
At first blush the 2013 Chevy Tahoe is an odd place to start a tuner project. According to the specs, the stock seven-passenger Tahoe stands 6.5 feet tall, weighs nearly 3 tons and evokes all of the sportiness of a Hometown Buffet. But enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes, and have all manner of interests that extend beyond the sphere of straight-up performance cars.
Neither Porsche, AMG nor BMW's M Division think the guy who has everything is going to settle for a stock family hauler or a weak-sauce boat puller. New Jersey-based GM performance specialists SLP doesn't either. The 2013 SLP Chevy Tahoe 700hp Supercharged Sport Edition isn't meant to replace anyone's Camaro, Chevelle or SLP ZL610 Corvette. Rather, it's meant to sit beside them.
From the factory, the 2013 Chevy Tahoe comes with a stout 5.3-liter V8 making a respectable 320 hp and 335 pound-feet of torque. But 300 hp isn't cool. You know what is cool? 700 hp. In this case, such gratuity starts with an all-aluminum big-block LS7.
SLP then hand-builds each one with forged internals and ditches the Z06's dry-sump lubrication system for a traditional oil pan. And because a built LS7 barely moves the insane-o-meter, SLP tops it off with a TVS 2300 high-output supercharger for a total output of 701 hp at 5,900 rpm and 678 lb-ft of torque at 5,170 rpm.
The LS7, SLP says, is not only more affordable than the factory-blown LSA or LS9, but is a proven workhorse that responds well to supercharging in terms of both output and reliability. Also, it's bigger.
Power. Weight, Too
The 7.0-liter starts and idles with all of the fuss of the truck's original engine. The 295/40R22 Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires are bigger than stock, sure. But they're simple, off-the-shelf rubber that doesn't break the bank. The transmission is a six-speed automatic. And the loud pedal is on the right.
Drop the hammer and, sonically, the world ends. The noise is part gear whine, part belt whir and part raucous honk of SLP's optional exhaust. From the outside the sound is shocking, terrifying, abrasive and unpleasant. And it wouldn't pass sound regs at any track in the country.
There's no arguing with the results, though. Flat-foot it and 60 mph arrives in 4.8 seconds (4.5 with 1 foot of rollout as on a drag strip). That's a tenth slower than the mighty Chevy Camaro ZL1 convertible and twice as easy to achieve. Wheelspin is only an issue if you want it to be. Beyond that, this is an exercise in sacking up and letting the transmission do its business.
Keep the pedal down through the auditory assault and the 5,781-pound SLP Tahoe crosses the quarter-mile mark in 13.1 seconds at 105 mph. The Russian meteor had less kinetic energy.
Brembo to the Rescue
While that speed-to-mass ratio is impressive, acceleration is the easiest performance nut to crack. Getting back to a safe zero mph is a different story. Playing Sisyphus to the 7.0-liter's boulder are a pair of 15-inch Brembo brake rotors with six-piston fixed calipers up front and four-pot units in back.
While this $9,995 expenditure may seem spendy, we assure you it's cheaper than trying to fish a Tahoe out of the Pacific. Like all GM trucks, the pedal travel is long to assist with the rigors of towing (the truck's 8,200-pound factory tow rating remains), but the fade resistance is incredible. The Tahoe stopped from 60 mph in 123 feet on our test track and felt like it would do that number for hours on our favorite mountain roads.
Turning, however, is a different story. Even with the Sport Suspension package ($1,595), which drops ride height by 2 inches, the SLP Tahoe still drives like, well, a Tahoe. It turns both left and right, but isn't enthusiastic about either. Its 60.5-mph slalom pass makes it slightly faster than the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL450. And at 0.81g around the skid pad it's considerably better than the last Mercedes-Benz GL550 we tested (0.76g).
The Subtle, Safe Choice
Unlike so many tuner cars, the SLP Tahoe distinctly lacks desperate cosmetic bids for attention. Save for a few badges, optional side skirts and some embroidered headrests, which we're sure SLP would gladly eliminate, the SLP Tahoe is cosmetically bone-stock.
So is its warranty. Almost.
The $33,495 700hp Sport package (in addition to the cost of the Tahoe) comes with a three-year/36,000-mile engine/supercharger warranty, and the non-powertrain components installed by SLP also carry a three/36,000. Thanks to SLP's close and long-standing relationship with GM, warranty issues are addressed by your local GM dealer and not in Jersey. Anything not touched by SLP is still covered by GM.
Who says gratuity can't come with a safety margin?
And while SLP's warranty oversees your personal liability, any measure of social responsibility is wholly ignored. During 700 test miles we averaged 11.7 mpg, with a worst tank of 10.4 mpg (city driving) and a best of 16.4 mpg (mixed). Thankfully, there's a 26-gallon tank.
The $100,000 Understatement
Probably the only truly gaudy feature of the 2013 SLP Chevy Tahoe 700hp Sport Edition, besides its ridiculously long name, is its optional 22-inch chrome wheels. Given its power and performance, even the as-tested price of $105,360 feels tolerable.
While the premise of a 700-hp SUV is silly, the demand is real. There's no shortage of six-figure, high-power offerings from full-line manufacturers, and the list just keeps growing. This much power in a family hauler isn't strictly necessary, mind you, but like any power tool, it makes the job easier and more fun.
Which six-figure SUV do you want in your driveway?
The choices are plenty: There's a host of powerful-if-sterile Germans, a buttoned-up Brit or this blown, ear-crushing American thunderwagon.
Don't fall in line. Bring the noise.
The manufacturer provided Edmunds this vehicle for the purposes of evaluation.

Should I lease or buy a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.

Corona Familiar Upcycled Bottle Pendant Light made from a beer bottle
This Upcycled Corona Familiar hanging pendant lamp is truly awesome! The globe is made from a 32 ounce Corona Familiar beer bottle. The bottom of the bottle has been removed to allow access to the light bulb without having to disassemble the lamp. This light accepts up to a 60 watt standard light bulb and can use a fluorescent or LED bulb. This light fixture is made to be hard wired into an existing electrical box in your ceiling. The cord is adjustable from 1 inch to 50 inches in length accommodating different ceiling heights. The light fixture is an oil rubbed bronze finish and is UL listed. The bottom edge of the globe has been professionally finished to remove any sharp edges. This light will make a wonderful addition to any game room, bar, den, man cave, poker room, or for accent over a pool table.
The rim of the glass has been carefully smoothed and polished to remove any sharp edges. The quality of this glass can only be achieved by years of practice with this art. Do not be fooled by others that are less expensive and lack the attention to detail that my glasses have. The label is a silk screened print on the bottle and hand washing is highly recommended.
I also make a 3 globe pendant lamp fixture (3 globes hanging from the same light bar) which makes a great light for hanging over a pool table, kitchen island, or bar. Please message me if you have any other questions.
I can also make lamps out of other bottles 1 liter in size or larger such as Grey Goose, Captain Morgan, Absolut, Jameson, and other large wine bottles. Please message me if you have one in mind you would like made.

Although the official limit is 20kg per person in this part of the world, the rule of thumb is that if you dont exceed 30kg each you're safe. The only problem is I have a backpack full of photographic equipment and a trolley with two notebooks (one powerbook for personal use and a Dell for the office) so the hand carry is already at least 20kg!

This month, I'm co-hosting the Blogger to Blogger Book Club founded by Kelly of Love, Kelly Lorene. We're reading Open House by Elizabeth Berg. This is how it works if you want to play along:
1. Read the book
2. On Friday, May 29, choose some discussion questions from the link below and post the answers on your blog.
3. Then, share your thoughts using the #blog2blogbc hashtag and discuss the book.
4. At the end of the month, come back here and link up your discussion post.
In this superb novel by the beloved author of Talk Before Sleep, The Pull of the Moon, and Until the Real Thing Comes Along, a woman re-creates her life after divorce by opening up her house and her heart.
Samantha's husband has left her, and after a spree of overcharging at Tiffany's, she settles down to reconstruct a life for herself and her eleven-year-old son. Her eccentric mother tries to help by fixing her up with dates, but a more pressing problem is money. To meet her mortgage payments, Sam decides to take in boarders. The first is an older woman who offers sage advice and sorely needed comfort; the second, a maladjusted student, is not quite so helpful. A new friend, King, an untraditional man, suggests that Samantha get out, get going, get work. But her real work is this: In order to emerge from grief and the past, she has to learn how to make her own happiness.
In order to really see people, she has to look within her heart. And in order to know who she is, she has to remember–and reclaim–the person she used to be, long before she became someone else in an effort to save her marriage. Open House is a love story about what can blossom between a man and a woman, and within a woman herself.
Choose 3-5 questions from this link to include with your Blogger 2 Blogger Book Club review post on Friday, May 29th.
Don't forget to share your links, thoughts, and opinions throughout the month on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using #Blog2BlogBC.

As well as Hamlet, our acclaimed production of Matilda The Musical will also embark on its first UK and Ireland tour, and our First Encounters with Shakespeare production of Julius Caesar will visit schools and theatres between January -March.\u201dPaapa Essiedu\u00a0won Best Performance in a Play at the UK Theatre Awards in 2016 for his role as Hamlet.\u00a0 Paapa\u2019s other RSC credits include Edmund in King Lear, Fenton in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and The Mouse and his Child.\u00a0 Additional theatre credits include King Lear (National Theatre) and Romeo and Juliet (Tobacco Factory).\u00a0 He played Demetrius in Russell T Davies\u2019 adaptation of A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream for BBC1 (2016), and appeared in Kenneth Branagh\u2019s 2017 film adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express.

When Paapa and I talked about the production, I realised how radical it might be to see Denmark through the lens of a completely different culture, a culture that Paapa himself had experienced.\u00a0 I began to imagine a Denmark re-conceived as a modern state influenced by the ritual, traditions and beauty of west Africa.\u00a0 So, our setting is full of the colour, emotional intensity and passion associated with that part of the world.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cAs Hamlet, Paapa is intelligent, youthful and charismatic, with a contemporary wit.\u00a0 But Paapa\u2019s portrayal is also mercurial with an element of danger.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cPart ghost story, part family tragedy, part dark comedy, Hamlet is an urgent and gripping thriller.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to see how audiences respond to it around the country.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHamlet is directed by\u00a0Simon Godwin\u00a0and designed by\u00a0Paul Wills\u00a0with lighting by\u00a0Paul Anderson.\u00a0Music for the production is composed by Jamiroquai percussionist\u00a0Sola Akingbola.\u00a0Sound is by\u00a0Christopher Shutt.

In Japan, marriage between first cousins are legal. This most likely stems from the traditions of rich and powerful daimyo lords during the feudal era. Much like the Hapsburgs and Victorian Europe, many Japanese daimyo lords would "strengthen alliances and blood" by marrying into distant relatives. To Japanese, "first cousins" are "far enough" not cause any distinctive genetic anomolies. Hence, first-cousin relationships are not considered to be incestuous here. Although the number of such relationships have been declining in the past 100 years, there are many people in Japan who will say that their great-grandparents were actually first cousins.
And yes, like anywhere else, incest is considered to be a social taboo in Japan. We fear the genetic, social and emotional consequences that arise from incest.
But there is a certain fascination about [older-brother/younger-sister] incestual relationships among Japanese hardcore otakus. To cater to such fans, there are numerous games and stories that have been created for such matters...with a twist. You are introduced to yourself being an older brother and falling in love with your younger sister. However, the twist is that "you two are not actually blood-related." The most notable example is the "Sister Princess" game:
"The more you and your favorite younger sister spend time together, the less you two become blood related."
In actual Japanese law however, is that even if two siblings are not related-by-blood, they still stand in the family registry as being siblings so their relationships are deemed incestuous and illegal.
Sadly, therefore, no matter how much Junichi and Nemu falls in love with each other in "D.C.~da capo~" their relationship is null by decree of Japanese national law.
