Hibbard, Wauge Win Southern Oregon Speedway Features
White City, Oregon...May 5...David Hibbard won the 25 lap Kendall Oil Winged Sprint Car Main Event Saturday night as Southern Oregon Speedway opened the 2018 season. Hibbard chased down early leader Enrique Jaime and passed him on lap six as they were lapping a slower car. Hibbard sped from there to an impressive win. Tanner Holmes won a late race duel with Jaime for second as Jeffrey Hudson and Blaine Cory rounded out the Top 5.
Seven time IMCA Modified champion Mark Wauge won that division's 25 lap Main Event. James Welshonse took the lead from Dave Duste Jr. on lap five and led until mechanical issues sent him into the infield on lap 11. Nick Trenchard held the lead at that point with Wauge in close pursuit. A Turn 3 pass on lap 19 gained Wauge the lead, and he took it to the checkered flag. Trenchard settled for second ahead of reigning champion Jesse Bailey, Duste and Duane Orsburn.
David Marble won his first career 20 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. Marble set a rapid pace and was never seriously threatened in victory. Willie McFall was a solid second as Tony Duste, Danny Rule and Joby Shields completed the Top 5.
David Steele won the 20 lap Mini Stock Main Event. Steele picked up where he left of from last year as he won the final three features. Steele held off constant pressure from Steve Goetz to take the victory. Reigning champion Kristopher Mix outran Hunter Magnan for third as Garrett Fredrickson was a career best fifth.
Brandon Wonsyld won his first 15 lap JOAT Labs Hornets Main Event. Wonsyld led from the start. Despite constant pressure from reigning champion Jason Stoutenburgh, Wonsyld persevered for the victory. Dylan Irving finished third ahead of Zach Nelson and Bree Trictchler.
Racing returns next Week with Late Models, Valley Stor-All Late Model Lites, Mini Stocks, JOAT Labs Hornets, Pro 4 West Modifieds and a Silva Painting Destruction Derby. For further information, go to www.southernoregonspeedway.com.

Product Description
Modernist Bread is a sumptuous and indulgent work for those wanting to know everything about the baking of bread, and what is behind some of the myths and received wisdom - if anything. Using his extensive laboratory in Seattle, Nathan has scientifically tested various notions, such as using raisins to start sourdough, testing the theory that the shards of bran in wholemeal flour prevents it from rising as much as a white loaf (by trying a bake containing glass!) through to finding that a little kiwi juice improves bread volume. This is an extremely weighty work over 5 volumes, full of amazing photography and insights.

Hello Yutaka,
Thank you for your reply!
It seems however, that
doesn't really achieve anything.
Probably this is what you meant with "not available for keyboard shortcut assignment".
It would be nice to have something analogous to:
editor.ExecuteCommandByID (4609 + i); // i is an integer from 0 through 63 (List of Recent Documents command)
EEID_FILE_MRU_FILE1 through EEID_FILE_MRU_FILE1 + 63 (from 4609 through 4609 + 63)
Just with removing the file from the list instead of opening the file.
Best regards,

beware the ides of march
I have no idea who tips off Flying Talking Donkey or LATOC to the latest ASPO newsletter before they get posted on ASPO itself - however it may happen I sure do appreciate the (pdf) link!
And the March 2005 edition is an absolute must read, for the discussion on nuclear energy, (more on that shortly) but also the DOE sent in a study they did on how mitigation strategies would affect liquid fuel shortages in a peak oil scenario. I found their results sobering in light of the fact that some experts think we will peak this year. They put in the twenty year to peak scenario to keep the pointy haired ones happy, methinks.
Indeed, general peak oil news is cresting so fast lately, I may be forced to come up with a new name for this blog, like, "Oh Crap!" or "Tips for hoarding beans in declining oil world".
There is great ASPO essay on nuclear energy, also online:
"The lower the ore grade, the more energy is consumed in the fuel processing, so that the amount of the carbon dioxide released in the fuel cycle depends on the ore grade. Only Canada and Australia have ores of a sufficiently high grade to avoid excessive carbon releases and to provide an adequate energy gain. At ore grades below 0.01 per cent for "soft" ores and 0.02 per cent for "hard" ores more CO2 than an equivalent gas-fired station is released and more energy is absorbed in the cycle than is gained in it. Ores of a grade approaching the "crossover" point such as those in India of 0.03 per cent, if used, risk going into negative energy gain if there are a few "hiccups" in the cycle."
A few weeks ago I posted on the viability of nuclear power here and here. I felt I needed more and better information. Searching the Internet for valid data left me incredibly frustrated, due to the polarizing nature of the issue and the contradictory information. I still want to corral a real expert, and we don't run nukes for energy in Washington State. I think Busby's article goes a long way towards focusing my research.
The essence of his arguments confirms some suspicions of mine. Namely, that energy returned over the life of a reactor is much lower than advertised, often negative, except maybe in the case where you don't clean up after yourself. He also points out that we are running up against a uranium peak.
Is it a coincidence that I turn thirty and everything starts peaking? I think not.

Beautiful Monday!!
We had awesome weather here today! It was 72 and sunny! The only downfall was it was pretty breezy. I decided that I should do a longer run today since I have plans all week long! I tried to talk myself into a short run since it was so windy but then I decided to stop being a baby and do my long run!! I did 4 miles like I had planned but it was a killer. Mostly because I went out too fast! I started off feeling great, running about a 9:30 min/mile for the 1st 2 miles. I kept thinking I probably should slow down but I was feeling so good so I didn't! Well after my halfway point, I started feeling very winded and tired. I kept pushing myself and finished the 4 miles without having to stop! Don't remember my exact time and I can't check my Garmin since I left it at my mom's house, but I do remember the final pace ended up being 10:14 min/mile! My last 4 miler last week was 10:45 min/ mile so that's quite a bit faster! And I was much more tired today than I was last week! I'm glad I went ahead and did it though!!
I can't wait for this weekend because I get to go to my lake house!! Yay! We have a lake house in Kentucky on Lake Cumberland and it is just beautiful!! Not sure if I will get to wake board or not, the water is still kinda cold in May. But I will definitely be working on my tan! Does anyone else have any fun plans for Memorial Day weekend??
PS: Who is excited about The Bachelorette tonight?!? I am!!

In the banking business, software development is complex as projects are becoming ever more extensive and, at the same time, technology is undergoing rapid change. Conventional, phase-oriented process models are increasingly unable to offer satisfactory solutions. Agile software development, however, offers new ways to address these challenges.
Scrum? Yes, of course!
For the most part, agile software development at s IT Solutions Austria is based on Scrum.
The advantage of Scrum is that it is a relatively simple model but at the same time provides the necessary foundation for a safe launch. Moreover, it is well-known.
Scrum. But properly!
However, in large organisations like ours, Scrum 'by the book' leaves many questions unanswered. How should a customer that does not represent a single company but a whole consortium of banks be integrated? How can agile and conventional approaches be combined in a project? How can agile principles be implemented if the team are working on several sites on two different continents? In this respect, we can already look back on a lot of experience.
"Agile software development means more than to just mark a project as Scrum. We have to change our perspective and take our bank customers with us on that path."
Hubert Rosicka, Projektleiter und Scrum Master
Real teamwork
We demand a certain amount of openness and flexibility from our employees. This is because agile software development requires a great deal of openness to change and even more teamwork. In turn, completely new opportunities for excellent products arise.

"I believe that the success or failure of a state hinges on this point more than anything else: Where the law is subject to some other authority and has none of its own, the collapse of the state, in my view, is not far off; but if law is the master of the government and the government is its slave, then the situation is full of promise and men enjoy all the blessings that the gods shower on a state."
— Plato, The Laws, Book IV
Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is marching on in his quest to hold Hillary Clinton accountable for her misuse of classified material while serving as secretary of state in the Obama administration.
On his website, Paul has launched a petition to "Hold Hillary Accountable."
"If you still believe that no American — even a Clinton — should be exempt from our justice system, sign the petition demanding that Hillary Clinton be held accountable for all her violations," Paul writes, explaining the purpose of the petition.
"There should not be a different set of rules for Hillary and people like us," he adds.
Paul's mission to make the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee answer for her violation of laws regulating the handling of classified documents is not new.
In a video embedded on the web page, Paul says that "if the FBI's decision to not prosecute Hillary Clinton is accepted, we will have become a nation of two sets of laws: one for the Clintons, and one for everyone else."
As quoted above, the classical Greek philisopher Plato agreed. In fact, earlier in the dialogue written in Book IV of The Laws, Plato explains that if a government is to be stable and a people are to be happy and free, "the highest office … must be allocated to the man that is best at obeying the established laws."
There is no question that Hillary Clinton violated the "established laws" governing the transmission of material classified as critical to the national security of the United States.
Even FBI Director James Comey, the man who recommended that no charges be filed against Clinton, admitted under direct questioning from Representative Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) that Clinton ignored legal limits on her ability to transmit classified material.
On the day Comey announced that, despite having threatened national security over 100 times in her reckless handling of classified material, Hillary Clinton would not be held responsible, Paul posted the following message on his Facebook page:
Today the FBI announced Hillary Clinton violated classified procedures, carelessly and recklessly endangered national security — and had done so repeatedly, over 100 times.
The FBI then announced she would face no charges. This is an outrage and the rule of law has been turned upside down.
This weekend, we learned former President Clinton met with the Obama Administration Attorney General — the FBI director's boss — in private.
Three days later the FBI director announces no charges are being brought against Hillary Clinton.
The appearance is terrible. The decision is astounding. People have gone to jail for less severe breaches of classified information and national security.
Today Director Comey and the Obama Administration Department of Justice made it clear to the American people, and all those being unfairly prosecuted by the DOJ, that there is no accountability, no justice, and the Clintons are allowed to live by a different set of rules.
This is a loss for the rule of law and further degrades Americans' faith in the justice system.
Paul's railing against Comey's decision is not without merit. Here for your consideration are the exact words said by Comey in justifying his recommendation that Clinton face no charges: "To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions. But that is not what we are deciding now."
Other people would face charges for the same actions — just not this person. It is on this point, then, that we see the emergence of a tyrant, and Rand Paul is having none of it.
Curiously, it is illuminating to remember that back in July of 2013, Senator Paul was the only member of that body to vote against the confirmation of James Comey as FBI director.
It is not, however, James Comey that is the target of Paul's efforts to force a federal officer's feet into the fire.
Nor should he be.
Comey is dutifully playing his role as courtier to the monarchical Mrs. Clinton, just as Plato said he (or someone like him) would during the reign of tyrants.
In an eerily timely description of a tyrant's ability to retain power by relying on the cooperation of courtiers, Plato wrote, "These are the new citizens whom he has called into existence, who admire him and are his companions, while the good hate and avoid him.… But they will … attract mobs, and hire voices fair and loud and persuasive, and draw the cities over to tyrannies."
Plato's prescience aside, Senator Paul is not a new thorn in the side of the former secretary of state.
In 2013 during a hearing into the death of U.S. ambassador Stevens at Benghazi, Libya, Senator Paul told Hillary Clinton, "Had I been president at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post."
The stakes are higher now. Rather than simply being able to refuse to send American military personnel into harm's way to defend American representatives from attack, should she be elected president, Hillary Clinton will be able to send American military personnel into harm's way whenever she wants and the casualties will be much higher — on both sides of the conflicts — than those at Benghazi.
Returning briefly to Plato, he warned that it is precisely this tactic that all tyrants use in order to maintain their power over the people and their exemption from the laws.
"The tyrant must be always getting up a war.… He is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader," Plato wrote.
Senator Paul's effort to hold Hillary Clinton accountable to the rule of law may be one of the country's last chances to avoid the bloodshed that already seems to occur when Hillary Clinton — or any tyrant — is in charge and unaccountable.

Angel's Rest
About This Cottage
Every once in a while, we come across a cottage that defines pride of ownership. Angel's Rest is just such a place. Built by the original owners 40 years ago, it has witnessed the special times of a family growing together. Now under new ownership, and after a short absence from the pages of CLRM, the cottage has been updated by the new owners who are ready to share it with another generation of families looking to discover cottage country and Muskoka.
Angel's Rest is located on pretty McLean Lake, located just 90 minutes from the GTA. This makes it a great choice for people who want a true cottage getaway within an easy driving distance.
The first thing you will notice is that, unlike most cottages, Angel's Rest is of brick construction - so whether it's the big bad wolf or just inclement weather, you will always be safe and cosy inside! You will notice next that the lawn between the cottage and the lake is expansive - picturesque and a great place for the family to share a game of badminton or tag. Mom and Dad can watch from the comfort of the deck if they want to leave strenuous activity to the younger set. There is a nice shallow entry to the lake, good for wading in or those who like to take it slow when dipping their toes in the water. Within a few yards, you are into deeper water and enjoying good swimming.
Let's go inside and have a look at where you'll be staying. The main floor houses a spacious open-concept living and dining room, with seating for 8 around the formal dining room table. Beside that, comfy seating provides a relaxing area for games or a movie, with the kitchen close by to feed those famous cottage appetites! The kitchen has all you need, including a dishwasher.
There are 2 bedrooms on the main level, as well as a 4-piece bathroom, so it sounds like this level houses everyone comfortably. Indeed, this is the case, but don't stop here...downstairs there is more. Another bedroom with 2 beds overlooks the waterfront, with a den without pullout couch for extra sleeping and a wood stove is at the ready to warm a family room should nights turn cool. A great feature at Angel's is that there is another kitchen and dining table on the lower level. This makes Angel's Rest the choice for multi-generational or extended family groups wanting to retain some privacy between couples while spending a vacation together.
The area is centrally located on Muskoka's door step so there are ample activities of interest should you decide to venture out for a day or two. The Midland-Penetanguishene area awaits the history and museum buffs in your group. Golfers will want to play a round at Bonaire, a nice course just 20 km down the road in Coldwater (which is also the place you will find your grocery and shopping needs). Boaters will be delighted to discover that you can access the Trent-Severn system from Maclean Lake, and are just one lock away from Georgian Bay - although canoeists and kayakers may want to rent a craft and spend some time exploring the islands in Gloucester Pool.
If you want a cottage that is well suited to medium to large families, you will definitely want to consider Angel's Rest.

What a week it's was.....I had to get ready for the Woman's Holiday lunch on Saturday and the craft fair that was to immediately follow....lots to make....:-)
The week started off great, my head full of ideas as to what to do and I had it all planned out for each day.....well you know how that works....at least for me....whenever I plan anything it never happens to go quite as smoothly as planned.....does that happen to anyone else but me....VBG!
Well, all was well until Tuesday night at my ladies bible study....I tripped over someones purse and almost crashed into the wall, where behind was another group study going on....now wouldn't that have been a surprise....me crashing in on them! So to stop myself from doing so and falling, I stiffened up my body and twisted it in such a way that I can't believe I did it and then came down so hard on my right foot....it was like I stopped dead in mid crash......not a smart thing to do......I was in so much pain from my shoulders to my foot and down my spine.....but I stuck it out for the study and came home and soaked in a nice hot eucalyptus bath....soothing until I tried to get up.....wasn't happening and Shayla was no help...she kept eating the bubbles and wanting to jump in the water with me. Well, I managed to get out and went right to bed.....pretty much was laid up on Wednesday...........now there is all that time lost to get my projects done.
I felt better on Wednesday night which I later found out that my friend lifted me up in prayer at service for healing in my body.....I just love the power of prayer!
Worked my fanny off and got things done....but didn't sell but three little ornaments.......made $10.00.....but it was all worth it! I met some wonderful Christian ladies that I would not of had the chance to prior and to see all their lovely work....we have some very talented women in our church group.
Always look for the rainbow in every situation not matter what it is!!

Open Letter to Ms. Sandra McKenzie: LMST Drop-off Loop Puts Young Children at Risk/
(Update: As described the March 2018 article titled LMST Open Space and School Construction, a favorable decision was made in late 2017 regarding providing a pedestrian-oriented site design and construction moved ahead in the Spring of 2018.)
To: Ms. Sandra McKenzie, Deputy Minister, Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
Dear Ms. McKenzie-
I am writing to express concern that the drop-off loop planned for LMST creates hazardous and unhealthy conditions for school children. Recently, the Department of Education and Childhood Development and the Halifax Regional School Board advocated for and approved a plan that does not abide by the health and safety guidelines specified by the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers and other professional and non-governmental organizations. Additionally, the site plan is inconsistent with recommendations published in the Journal of Traffic Injury Prevention.
As the father of a child who attends LMST, I am asking for a thoughtful response to three legitimate questions asked below.
1. What are your plans to deal with the aftermath of any accidents involving children and vehicles entering and existing the drop-off loop? Keep in mind: LMST is one of a handful of "walking schools" left in Nova Scotia, and that more than 260 LMST students walk to school. Twice a day, my own daughter will be passing through the collision zone shown above. All it takes is single driver crossing the sidewalk exhibiting dangerous, distracted behavior and a child could pay an unacceptably heavy price. Given the concerns illustrated above, who should be liable, the driver, HRSB, or the province?
The site plan creates precisely the kind of child pedestrian motor vehicle collision zone the Canadian Institute of Traffic Engineers (Canadian ITE) seeks to avoid through appropriate site design. Taken as a whole, the ITE publication titled, "Promoting Sustainable Transportation through Site Design", supports the relevance of pedestrian-oriented site design.
Within this document, I would like to draw your attention to Section 3.4.2 (Passenger Pickup and Drop-off Areas) which states the following:
"Ensure vehicle circulation routes to and from pickup and drop-off areas do not pass in front of main entrances and where possible do not cross major sidewalks or other pedestrian facilities."
As shown in the illustration below, the drop-off loop violates this recommendation by creating a continuous area of conflict between children and motor vehicles.
2. Can you provide evidence to support the claim that a loop will reduce congestion in our urban context? You have claimed that this new automobile-centric infrastructure—in the form of a traffic/drop-off loop in front of the school will "calm traffic" on adjacent streets. To date no-one has provided evidence to support such a claim.
This visible piece of infrastructure will, in fact, induce traffic demand. Principles of induced traffic demand are well understood and documented. Similar to widening a road, the loop is a visible piece of infrastructure that will serve as a magnet for parents who might not otherwise drive. Keeping in mind, this is one of Halifax's best examples of a "walking school" in the middle of a pedestrian-oriented community, we should be encouraging more walking to school – not less.
There is no infrastructure solution for traffic congestion in this kind of urban context. In walkable urban environments, reducing congestion can be achieved only by altering the modal split through active transportation and improved public transport.
3. Why have you chosen a site plan that works against providing a healthy and welcoming space front of the school where children and parents alike can play, gather, and enjoy fresh air before and after school?
The Canadian Medical Association Journal speaks to a growing body of epidemiological evidence linking car exhaust and the development of asthma and cardiovascular disease in children. Car exhaust—which is laden with NO2 (nitric oxide) and other chemicals—is particularly damaging to young lungs. A UK-based study examined 1,700 children over four years and found that pollutants from cars significantly impact a child's health by reducing the size and strength of their lungs.
I assume we'd agree that children at the school have a right to breath clean air. Unfortunately, the site plan undermines this right by encouraging increasing numbers of parents to drive rather than opt for active transportation.
As shown below, the drop-off loop will encourage the parents of ~120 students to bring their vehicles in close proximity to the ~260 students who arrive by foot each day. Regardless of whether the loop runs efficiently (i.e. heavy throughput) or inefficiently (i.e., excessive idling), concentrations of NO2 and other particulate matter will remain high throughout the period when children are in front of the school.
In other jurisdictions, we see the provincial government partnering with school districts to reduce the number of parents driving in urban areas with well thought out active transportation planning. The Province of Ontario and the Toronto District School Board provide one of several visible examples of leadership focusing on student safety and health through active transportation planning and implementation.
Thank you for the taking the time to review these concerns. It is my sincere hope that you and HRSB understand that the responsible course of action is to reduce congestion with an active transportation program and accommodate parents who actually must drive with defined drop off areas (different than the loop) in suitable locations. I look forward to your response.
Patrick Moan

The mood at the Occupy London camp outside St Paul's Cathedral seems defiant as one protester sips coffee and the talk is of what to do next.
The group have been ordered out of the camp they set up on 15 October now that the Court of Appeal has prevented them appealing against the eviction order obtained by City of London Corporation.
Catherine Powell, who has been teaching meditation at the camp, said: "This is a sad day. It's a big blow. But I don't feel despondent. It's Occupy phase two now."
Some of the protesters busy themselves putting up a patchwork, slightly frayed banner to replace an older one - a continued sign of defiance.
Although some said the decision had been expected, they do not want to pack their bags.
One of the group, who has been at the camp for the past four months, said: "The occupy movement is much bigger than one campsite."
As the varied group - many of whom spent Christmas and the New Year in rain and cold - talk about the future, a group of 10 students from Holland come to shake hands and take photos with the campers.
Seradal Yeterosa said: "We didn't know it was here but when we saw it we wanted to photograph it. They gave up a lot for what they did."
But his friend, Mehmet Ali Kocamenos, takes another view, saying: "It's pointless, they are wasting their time."
Another passerby, Rebecca Smith-Daniel, shouted to them: "Don't give up guys. What you are doing is amazing."
The hacker group Anonymous has a presence at the camp too. One member, who did not want to be named, disputes the Corporation's argument made in court that the camp could have been there indefinitely.
He said: "We did have an end in sight. None of us wanted to be here indefinitely.
"Maybe staying here means the camp's been defeated but not the cause.
"We arrived here peacefully and we'd like to leave peacefully too."
He said that after many nights sleeping in the shadow of the historic building, among the most enduring memories would be the sound of the cathedral's bells.
"The bells, they ring every hour and during the course of the hour. That's what I'll miss most."

Broken: 2.75 RC1 bff8b5d
Short description of error
When you try to render animation and set render output path with diacritic signs, Blender is rendering the video frame by frame, notifies that it's finished work, but in the end it produces no video file.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Open attached blend file
- render output path is set to "//renderó/" (ó is an example of diacritic sign in Polish language)
- Render animation using Animation button or Ctrl F12
- In the //renderó/ folder you end up with no file in the end.
- Change output path from "renderó/" to "render/"
- Render again.
- Now everything works and you end up with video file.
Maybe something changed about Blender's language coding? It's not UTF-8 anymore?

'Well, that was a pleasant drive', says our youngest daughter, who has clearly mastered the art of understatement, when we return to the main lodge of the Gondwana Private Game reserve after a two-hour game drive. It's now around 8.30 am and we're perfectly on time for breakfast. The terrace offers splendid views of one of the most stunning landscapes we have ever seen. The Langeberg mountain range and the Outeniqua mountains are just becoming visible when the last bits of fog disappear from around the mountain tops and we can now see the indigenous 'Fynbos' (fine-leaved plants) in every direction of our gaze. Almost at once, we spot a giraffe near the farthest row of fourteen suites built in a style clearly inspired by the traditional Khoi-San style of architecture.
It's only 6 am when we climb aboard an impressive game vehicle. It's still rather chilly, but after we wrap ourselves in special thermo ponchos, we hardly notice the cold. Our children are ecstatic. Ready for a big adventure, each has a pair of binoculars around her neck. And a big adventure it is! Travelling at a rapid pace, we try to spot the Big Five, the legendary safari animals: the lion, the elephant, the rhinoceros, the buffalo and the leopard. But the absolute highlight is a quest that leads us through myriad of overgrown paths and ends with us looking straight at a newborn baby elephant. The bumpy ride takes us across more than 11,000 hectares of private game reserve. It is soon evident that this is serious game spotting: our guide is very friendly, but also strives to make every effort to ensure that we will be able to see all the wonders of the African landscape. His efforts are rewarded: we encounter steppe buzzards, hippos, waterbucks, zebras and, as a highlight, we enjoy a coffee break against the backdrop of a herd of elephants having their breakfast.
With mugs of hot chocolate and a big piece of African 'grandmother's cake' in their hands, our daughters can't take their eyes off the impressive creatures just a few hundred metres away. 'They will never believe us at school, Dad!', they say, giving us a big hug. Lions and rhinos we will leave for another day.
Gondwana Private Game Reserve is located only five hours' drive from Cape Town and just under half an hour from the charming village of Mossel Bay. The 5-star game reserve has been presented numerous awards, all of which are well-deserved. We have almost never visited such versatile holiday accommodations. Gondwana is a paradise for families. When we arrive we are immediately served a glass of sparkling wine, and our children some special lemonade. While we register, they are presented a Junior Ranger Passport, fingerprint-taking including.
These 'passports' gives children aged 6 - 12 admission to the Junior Rangers Programme. During our stay, our daughters learned to identify paw prints, they made botanical discoveries during a special Leaf Hunt and actively studied the life of the dung beetle. Every day, their last spark of energy was spent swimming in the beautifully situated infinity pool. However, the absolute highlight was realising that Gondwana is truly a 'free roaming reserve'. The few hundred metres from the lodge to our accommodations must be travelled in your rental car or on foot under supervision of a ranger. This was to ensure that guests do not run into any prey animals. Although chances are small that this will happen and the main lodge is well fenced off, this gave us a tremendous kick. 'Does that means that the animals aren't kept in cages, like in the zoo?' 'Cool!' Returning to our accommodations after dinner on our first evening at Gondwana, we ran into a huge herd of wildebeest foraging for food right in front of our door!
Of course, being restricted to your accommodations or the lodge is no punishment, since both are truly breathtaking. The lodge has a lounge and bar, as well as a terrace and restaurant, furnished in the traditional safari style. On chilly evenings, the guests are welcome to enjoy a gin & tonic or a mug of steaming tea sitting in front of the enormous open fireplaces, in armchairs that are so comfortable that you never want to get up again.
Couples and families with only one young child generally stay in one of the fourteen suites grouped around the lodge mentioned earlier, while bigger families or groups are accommodated in the comfortable 240m2 bush villas. An impressive double-volume thatch roof covers an open-plan lounge, a dining and kitchen area and two to four bedrooms. Although all meals are included in the price of a stay at Gondwana, every villa features a fully equipped kitchen. Guests are also invited to fire up the barbecue on the veranda that spans the entire length of the impressive bush villa.
For the ultimate safari experience, Gondwana also offers a special five-night conservation experience that includes sleeping in an ecological tent camp and in which the guests actively participate in conservation work on the game reserve and contribute to the local community as a volunteer.
# One of the most stunning landscapes imaginable. Not only are you continually astounded by everything you see during the day, on clear evenings you will be enchanted by the countless stars twinkling overhead.
# Thanks to the 'all inclusive' concept, you don't have to think about catering at all. Guests are assigned a ranger who will set up a programme with you. After that, all you have to do is kick back and relax! No stress trying to decide how to spend the next day. All you and your family need to do is enjoy all the adventures that have been planned for you.
# Stand eye to eye with the Big Five at a relatively short distance from Cape Town. The safaris here are a serious matter, even if children are welcome to participate. This makes them all the more adventurous.

Explore Possibilities: Pet Photography 52 Week Project - Week 48
Explore Possibilities is the subject of our week 48 Pet Photography 52 Week Project and our author David DuChemin says the two words "what if" are the two of the most useful words for the creative soul. He said they open possibilities and pave the way for creative thinking. He also quoted Scott Adams. "Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep." That is usually a pretty easy process for me. The mistakes are pretty obvious! :)
For our assignment this week we were to photograph a scene 12 different ways in significantly different ways. Here is where I am taking liberties with the assignment. I photographed this scene at least 12 times but they were different because I had different subjects in this spot over the last 2 weeks.
Freedom Park is a pretty park close to where I live. The photo of Moose on my home page where he is looking at the lake (click here) is Freedom Park. It's the 3rd photo that scrolls through. There is a bridge at the lake that they've recently re-constructed. It is gorgeous but there are all kinds of leading lines that have really intimidated me when I've thought about trying to photograph a dog here. I've always opted for less busy, serene locations that are quite frankly easier to photograph.
I was photographing a golden retriever at the park two weeks ago and I decided to ask Kappy's owners to place him on the bridge. It's a tricky spot to photograph for a couple of reasons.
- Lots of people walk across the bridge so you have to move a lot to let them across and people walking behind the bridge don't realize they're in the shot.
- If the dog is on leash and in all of my photos the dogs are, the person holding the leash needs to try and stand to the side and hold the leash just so otherwise the editing is a nightmare. :)
Kappy was the first dog I photographed in this spot. His owner is using this shot on her Christmas card this year. In this photo, the leaves on the trees in the background are just starting to turn. The leash removal in this one was a big challenge.
I tried mastering this location with 5 dogs I photographed at the park over the last two weeks. Some of the results worked and some didn't. Here are a few more of the images from those attempts. I learned that to even try and attempt this location, the dog needs to have a decent stay command while the person holding the leash can move several feet away from the dog (while the dog holds the stay command.) That proved to be a little difficult for a couple of the dogs I attempted to place here. :o
For anyone who follows my blog and has read about all of our photo attempts using Moose as the model, my photography assistant actually made this comment: "It is actually easier photographing Moose than Willow." I had to laugh but she is right. He is easier in that we can get good expressions from him whereas Willow on the other hand can be really stubborn and won't look at the camera.

Quiet Title Actions
Real Estate Lawyers in Miami, FL
In Florida and across the U.S., property owners and those looking to buy or sell real estate are encountering title issues that impact their ability to transfer or identify title ownership.

To discuss your needs and whether a quiet title action is the right approach, call (305) 712-6097. Your initial consultation is free.
Understanding Quiet Title Lawsuits
Clear title to real estate in Florida is often necessary to convey marketable real property. At times you can accomplish a clear and marketable title by filing a quiet title action in court. Quiet title actions involve notifying all interested persons of the petitioner's claim of title. This civil lawsuit is filed in a Florida circuit court and is used by property owners to cut off or clear any other rights, claims, encumbrances or interests to the title of the property.
In some cases, you may want to clear easements or other negative covenants that adjacent property owners may have on your property. If this is the case, a quiet title action can be filed to accomplish a clear and marketable title.
Parties that may cloud the title may include:
- Construction lienholders
- Neighboring landowners
- Leaseholders
- Deceased prior owners.
As a property owner, you may find it beneficial to file a quiet title lawsuit so your title to your property is clear, definite and marketable.
To prevail in a quiet title lawsuit, you must be able to show with clarity and certainty that:
- Your own title is valid;
- The defendant's claim to the title is invalid, unauthorized, or inferior; and
- That any and all clouds on title have been cleared or settled.

Today's Reading: 1 Kings 8:6-13
Daily Lectionary: Ezekiel 18:1-4,19-32; Romans 2:17-29
And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord. (1 Kings 8:10-11)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD. God's glory. God's Word. The pre-incarnate Jesus filled the house of the LORD. He flooded the holy place with His presence. On the other hand, if men try to fill the house of the LORD with anything else other than His glory, His Word, they're attempting to build a cathedral to their own glory out of dirt and ash.
Therefore, Jesus says, "Take no thought for your life" (look at the fowls of the air, the lilies of the field), "but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" (Matthew 6:24-34). You aren't called to know, or be clever, or proficient, or energetic, or talented, or well-adjusted. Your vocation is simply to be faithful to the mystery of God's glory who always abides with us. This Jesus, who comes to you through earthly words, water, bread, and wine.
What the world needs to hear isn't any of your ideas, clever or simple; none of those can comfort a single troubled soul. It needs to hear—and above all see—your commitment to waiting for the glory of the LORD to fill the house of the LORD: the only Lord who has the keys of death (Revelation 1:18).
And after all the years the Church has suffered under nice preachers, winning orators, compelling pulpiteers, clerical bigmouths, young punks, and pompous old men, how good to hear that God sends His pastors to preach only about His promises in Jesus Christ. Better yet, He doesn't fill His house with clouds of smoke anymore. This is the God who now sets out a heavenly feast every time the true Church gathers in His Name. This is His glory. When He pours Himself down your mouth. The New Testament in His Blood. Two hundred-proof Gospel. The glory of the LORD, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ given and shed for you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
King of kings yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords in human vesture, In the body and the blood, He will give to all the faithful His own self for heav'nly food. (Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence, LSB 621:2)

The common market for eastern and southern Africa (COMESA) and government have signed an implementation agreement on the zambia-tanziania-kenya (ZTK) power interconnector project worth 4million Euros.
The project will address issues of reducing the cost of doing business in the region in order to enhance competitiveness in trade through energy service availability, accessibility and affordability.
The short and medium term intention of the Z-T-K is to supply energy from Zambia or southern African power pool (SAPP) to Tanzania and Kenya and the long term is to provide opportunities to conduct power trade in the region and facilitate the creation of a pan African power market from cape town in south Africa to Cairo in Egypt and Tripoli in Libya.
The project is under the regional integration support programme, a European union funded programme under the 10th European fund and the implementation agreement is specifically for the financing activities to establish and maintain a project implementation unit for the Z-T-K interconnector projector.
The Z-T-K interconnector project which is a 1,600kilometer, 400megawatts, bi directional 400killovolts power interconnector linking Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya and the SAPP has confirms power availability of minimum 400mega watts by the time Z-T-K will be commissioned
The objective of the power interconnector is to facilitate trade in power, offer improved reliability and security of power supply to both southern and eastern Africa.
It will also encourage investment in new generation by linking generation and customers through provision of power transmission capacityIn addition the power interconnector will promote economic development in eastern and southern Africa through closer regional integration and meet the immediate and future power demand in eastern and southern Africa by providing transmission capacity

text: For the last couple of weeks in composition class I have been taking melodies from some of my compositions and setting them to different instruments e.g clarinet, harp and percussion to clarinet and percussion . I have also done an arrangement for harp, flute and subtle percussion. This has been interesting and I am hoping to carry on this week with much the same thing with other instruments. The one challenge was making the percussion passages fit the clarinet passages, this was because the dynamics were quite difficult to control, however I managed to achieve an even balance.

RELDATA Inc. (www.RELDATA.com), the innovation leader in unified block and file storage solutions over iSCSI, announced today that new research from Storage Strategies NOW (SSG-NOW) confirms RELDATA is well positioned to continue its technology leadership and market growth in cloud storage. Storage Strategies NOW, a specialist storage analysis and research organization, recently released "Cloud Storage: Adoption, Practice and Deployment," a report co-sponsored by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA).
The report defines cloud storage, outlines the explosive growth in cloud storage and details how small and enterprise-size businesses are adopting and deploying cloud storage services for backup, archive, email and bulk storage data. Also included in the report are the results of an IT Professionals Cloud Adoption Survey, co-sponsored by the Storage Networking Industry Association.
Key findings of the report and survey include:
- More than 57 percent of respondents expect to adopt cloud storage;
- They will store e-mail, front office application data and backup data in the cloud, in that order; and,
- Standards are viewed as more important for public cloud implementations than private clouds.
"The report's key findings coincide with our experience of the market and customers' cloud needs over the past year," said Victor Walker, CEO, RELDATA. "We've seen very healthy sales growth of our Unified Storage Solutions, which enable IT organizations to control their storage resources by improving performance and reducing costs."
The report wrote that RELDATA's "9400 Series delivers the high performance and throughput required for hypervisor and cloud computing environments, all while maintaining a low total cost of ownership."
"RELDATA's Unified Storage Systems enable private, hybrid and business application cloud service providers, hosting eDiscovery or other similar applications, to deliver on their customers' expectations of affordable, flexible, and reliable on-demand storage," said Walker. "We applaud SNIA's CDMI (API) standards initiative. It is a solid step towards simplification, rapid application integration and delivery of our advanced storage features to cloud service providers who are dealing with and managing virtualized environments and multi-vender storage infrastructures."

Todays look is inspired by Diane Von Fürstenberg. I have a certain appreciation for designers; my background obviously plays a huge role in that. As a design student I've always had to study the history of fashion, going back as far as the 1800's so it goes without saying that designers are my celebrities, they're my style icons, my source of inspiration and I owe my love of fashion to all those who created before me.
It goes without saying that todays look is inspired by the iconic wrap dress; the dress for the woman on-the-go, the dress that gets you out the house in less than 5 minutes, every woman and their mother should own one. Fashion fact: The wrap dress was created in 1974 and by 1976 over a million had already been sold.
A classic dress with a classic lip, that's the look that I was going for today. Everything about this look is timeless from the sleek hair, to the houndstooth print, to the earrings that scream 'Old Hollywood Glamour'. It's the perfect look for the holiday season.
"Feel like a woman, wear a dress." - Diane Von Fürstenberg

Earrings: Fifth Avenue Collection
Shoes: Zara

Bobby Messano has a long and well travelled career where he has worked with the likes of Steve Winwood, Jimmy Wayne, Rodney Atkins, Joe Lynn Turner, Fiona, Clarence Clemons, and Lou Gramm. He served as the Music Director for Steve Windwood on his UK and European tour, and has made every bit a name of his own carving through the years!
Touring with his Broken Toys, you get the fun and personal experience of someone who has not only seen some great musical history, but has helped create it along the way as well!
One of my favorite parts of live shows is when we are gifted with stories that might not otherwise make it to the light of day. Especially when it involves the passion and influences that helped shape the artist and their style. For example, getting to see Hendrix for less than $2.00 a ticket!
A New Jersey native, Bobby has toured the world bringing great live music to 1000's with his intensly rocking guitar and soulful voice.
Backing Bobby are The Broken Toys! And these guys are anything but broken!
Edmond Canova, bass/vocals, has recorded with Bobby, Todd Wolfe, and Leslie West. And he has also toured with a who's who list of artists. Bringing the bass alive across the beat and the funk, he brings his full heart into the music. His rendition of The Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" will raise the hair on your neck. All the more powerful when you know that he himself is a Vietnam Vet. That experience surely has put the fire into his performance of this iconic song.
Brad Clancy, on drums and vocals, is originally from the DC and Baltimore area. Having cut his teeth in the club circuit he then began to reap the benefits of paying those dues. Working with The Drifters, Steve Allen, Marvelettes, and Little Anthony & The Imperials; his work continued to progress until an auto accident interrupted his career. After a lengthy recovery and a stint in Nashville working the Country Music scene, including appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, he returned to the Blues. (And I, for one, am glad to have him back!)
One of the things that people sometimes don't realize is that when these great bands tour and travel, there are no giant buses or roadies. The band are their own drivers and roadies.
Coming into Chan's on the first night I was privileged to see these artists, it was a sight to see that amongst the patrons already in the venue and eating...these guys were hauling their equipment in and setting up with practiced speed and skill. A quick sound check right there in front of the room, and they were off and running!
At both Chan's and 9 Wallis the sets were started with an acoustic treat moving through stirring ballads and fun acoustic rock. For me, it all fell into perfect groove with the start of the "electric set". I'm slightly biased as I'm more of an electric junky.
Breaking into their hit, Bad Movie, it was something truly wonderful to hear and see. I'd heard the song through a lot of radio play on XM, but for some reason I'd never made the connection to the artist, and I was surprised when I heard it kick off, which I quickly followed up with a big silly grin of happiness.
It was truly studio quality with live passion and freestyle improvisation. A combination you don't always get to enjoy at the same time. Especially when all you've heard leading up to it has been the studio CD version.
Bobby and the guys spent a good part of each show workin' the music, and making each other laugh. Something that belies a calm and comfortable state when up in front of a room full of people. And that energy hits the audience which makes the night all the more fun for everyone!
The only downside that I noticed, and it was of no fault of the bands or the venues, was that at one show... the audience was rather small. Now part of that just happened to be the date and what all was going on around it with other summer events too. But in a way it also lead to one of the most enjoyable nights I've had. The guys got to just kind of do things that they might not have normally done in front of a larger (and more appropriately filled) room.
They took something that could have been rather disconcerting for themselves and the audience and made it truly into an intimate and professional experience all the way through.
This is one of those things where it really shows through that no matter where they play or what size venue they play, Blues musicians give it their all for every single person in the room. It doesn't seem to matter if it's 20 or 2000 or more. It's a respect for the audience and for the music, and it comes through loud and clear.
Honestly, one of the most unexpected and wonderful moments was when Bobby told the story of wanting to write a song for his father who fought in WWII. And that in a round about sort of way he did just that without intending to. (I'll leave that story for Bobby to tell.)
Pride of The Cockney Rebels is one of those songs that if you've any sense of history, and especially if you've family who served in the military and saw active duty during combat, it will give you chills. I found myself transfixed and in tears. A song that you honestly wouldn't expect to hit you that way in the middle of an electric blues set, just walked up and slapped me right upside the feelings.
It's hard for me to overstate this, but Pride of The Cockney Rebels may well be one of the finest songs for our family members who've served and are serving to protect us. Not just in the US military, but all of those militaries that are fighting for freedom and human rights, equality and safety, and so that the world is a place where civility can be the norm.
Bobby Messano and The Broken Toys brought their A game to both shows where I had the delightful chance to see them perform. One of the reasons I like to try and see a band multiple times, even in a short date span, before I review is that I like to see how consistent they are and to determine if it's just a one off instance. And in both cases here, there was consistency without complacency with style and talent on full magnificent display.
Make sure you check out the tour dates and go out for a delightful evening of traditional acoustic and rock Blues with contemporary Blues mixed in for good measure!
I also highly recommend the Bad Movie album. There's a reason it's won awards!
