So yesterday whilst Basel-ing in the heart of Wynwood off of 23rd st and 2nd ave, I stumbled upon a foodies all time favorite sighting, a new food truck. Food trucks have been running Wynwood for some time. I know I don't speak for myself when I say that they are a blessing when walking out of any bar, club, event or your average getty with intense munchies and a gag reflex at the mention of a fast food menu.
Lone Wolfe has only been on the Wynwood streets for about 2 weeks. I had the pleasure of meeting the cool and talented chefs that run this creative habitat on wheels. First of all, who doesn't love burritos and tacos? Lone Wolfe takes on Mexican classics with a twist. Last night some of the food fusion was Asian inspired, but these guys just have fun with it so I wouldn't be surprised to see other combos whipped up.
Additions like the peanut sauce, or the pineapple mango chutney (my personal fave) are different and delicious. Try the jerk tacos too, trust me.

Have you lately seen top 10 ranking in women's tennis? If you haven't let me refresh your mind? You got two girls from Serbia, Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic, sisters Serena and Venus from USA and the rest of the pack are all Russians: Svetlana Kuznetsova, Maria Sharapova, Elena Dementieva, Dinara Safina, and Anna Chakvetadze. These three nations (especially Russia) are dominating world's tennis circuits, while other countries (apparently) lack adequate tennis force to challenge them.
What is the reason for this situation? It is not like quality tennis schools are only in these countries, tennis is played in many other countries, and if we take a look at the men's ranking two dominant players are from Spain (Nadal), and Switzerland (Federer), so there has to be some other reason for this situation. But what reason is this? Beats the heck out of me. Russia and USA are traditional tennis countries, while Serbia is currently having best time in its history due to extremely talented young players that have appeared from almost nowhere.
Is there any country ready to sent out a worthy challenger, capable to break the dominance of these three countries? My pick for future would definitely be Caroline Wozniacki because she's finally started showing her amazing talent for tennis game. Slovakian girls Hantuchova and Cibulkova, Szavay from Hungary, perhaps Radwanska from Poland, and Penetta from Italy also have what it takes to break into top ten and end this domination. But is not only the question of getting there, what really counts is staying there and fight for that priceless top spot. Who can get there? Tell us your opinion.

We haven't done any traveling yet, but I have always envisioned us being free to roam about the country taking our lessons with us. Although there is this little problem with cash flow, and B being able to take off work. Still, I think I've narrowed it down to a handful of "must-do" trips before Robotson is off on his own. One of the first ones I'd really like to take is with Robotson to the World Science Festival in NYC. I'd love to take the girls one day too, but they are still a bit young. I think if I could work it out, Robotson would be able to get a lot out of it already.
One of the co-founders of the festival is Brian Greene. He's pretty awesome. Seriously, if you want to know anything about theoretical physics and string theory, he's the guy to check out. From his TED talk (see below), to his NOVA documentary, to his books: The Elegant Universe, The Fabric of the Cosmos, and The Hidden Reality.
It was through keeping up with Brian Greene, and what he was up to, that I learned about the WSF. I've wanted to go ever since. Check out some of their past events aimed at kids and families. Unfortunately, it's not going to work out again this year, but maybe next year.
How about you? Got any trips plans that you dream about, or are making a reality?

On October 1, 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that the ��traditional�� and the ��RIR�� permanent foreign labor certification program's backlog has been eliminated, with nearly 99 percent of cases completed and the remainder awaiting responses from employers.
For almost three years, more than 300 workers in two processing centers at Dallas and Philadelphia reviewed approximately 363,000 pending labor applications, a backlog created as a result of legislative changes in 1997 and 2000.
The Permanent Labor Certification Program processes employer requests for foreign workers when U.S. workers are not available, willing and able to fill job openings. Statutory changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1997 and 2000 led to a dramatic increase in paper applications to this employment-based program. Attempts to curb the growing backlog culminated with the November 2004 opening of temporary facilities in Dallas and Philadelphia dedicated solely to eliminating the backlog.
From the beginning, the DOL pledged that the backlog would be eliminated by September 30, 2007. Both of the Backlog Elimination Centers have started a transition and shutdown phase that will continue through December.
With the elimination of the backlog, the Department will have more manpower to review the current PERM applications. In the past two years, most of the PERM cases are approved without being audited. With the reviewing heightened, the possibility of a case facing auditing will be higher. Petitioners will need to have an experienced attorney to guide them through the complicate procedure. We at Lin & Valdez have successfully handled numberless PERM applications. Please contact us immediately. The best help you need in PERM application is just a click away!

Crossing Places - Valletta SENSI
Four artists from Thessaloniki in Greece and two from Catania arrived on Wednesday 11 July to take part in the "Valletta SENSI" Workshop and Performance project which is part of the "Crossing Places - Al Buio" international project part-funded by the Culture 2000 programme of the EU and led by ARCI in Italy. The visit ended with a collective performance on Monday 17 July at 8.00pm at the Auberge d'Italie in Valletta. (Photo by Adrian Grima)
A series of five workshops in different spaces in Valletta were inspired by
the experience of visually impaired people from Greece and Malta who were
the protagonists of this week of events. "Not being able to see is not a
misfortune but can be an asset, in the sense that blindness is a different
way of seeing and expressing things and the world."
The Valletta SENSI project was coordinated by Inizjamed with support from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture and the St. James Cavalier Centre for Creativity.
The performance and multi-sensory experience was then performed by the artists from the three participating countries at the Mercati Generali in Catania on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 July.

03/02/2016 Try this! Today's run with a twist
216, 217, 218,...
It is only about 40 degrees outside today, and in seriously gusting winds that drop the wind chill to around....raw. So sorry, wrong answer. I decided to wuss out and stay inside and run on my indoor track (as pictured in a previous post). I did, however, spice up the run today to make up for the fact that I am running flat and slowing to turn a lot. I ran around 5.5 miles today in 50 minutes. Each 10 minute interval, I stopped and did a set of pull ups to fail. The first 3 times I stopped, I did 10 each time. The final 2 times I stopped, I did 8 each set. Consequently, today's run equalled 50 minutes of running and 46 pull ups. I am much happier about the run and this is the way I prefer to add strength stuff. A little here and there. Oh, and sorry about the picture. It was the only one I had of me doing pull ups :)

Well it happened to me sometime ago and if you've ever experienced such, I'm sure you'll comprehend this post.
I had it all planned and figured out but now, I'm not so sure any more. At first, I decided to stick to my plan and oppose the direction the wind was steering me, but it was useless. I remained stagnant in one spot and could do nothing to move on. So, I decided to maybe let the wind direct me. I decided to feel free and wait, maybe let fate lead the way.
Now I know a lot of people dont believe in fate (and if i'm to be honest, i never really believed in it until now), but we sometimes need to see what life has planned for us. It could be way better than that which is firmly rooted in our hearts.
I don't want to go into the details/history of the decision I've had to change in my life or the direction fate is drawing me, but I'll try to explain myself for better understanding.
For about 2years now, I have made an unwavering decision in my head that I refused to let go of. I made my plans around the decision, searched for substitutes (a.k.a, the next best things), and went outta my way to hide from myself. I had made my decision, and nothing could change it! I thought to myself, 'I don't have to go in that direction, I could take another route (longer) to a less attractive location and still love it there'. I set my plans in motion, while ignoring the rocky obstacles on the way. No way I was changing direction, I was determined! So, I conquered obstacles and fresh ones arose. I tried, wanting to achieve what I had set out to do but it's tiring as well as discouraging when you have too many things blocking your way. I gave it a rest, decided to slow down and really look outside the box. Then I saw it, the route I had been so adamant to stay clear of. And to my surprise, it looked so smooth with flowers and sunshine. Yes it was my first choice and most obvious route, but I stayed clear because of a pine I came across. I then set on a longer route filled with obstacles, and so much dirt that it seemed like a sin to change my mind along the way.
When life has something planned for you, you cannot escape it. It might take longer to realise and unfold, but be sure that it will. If you don't go with life's plan, it will go with yours but only until it draws you nearer to what it had planned for you. So, now that I see beyond my nose and just how beautiful that route is, I'm picking up the pieces and moving with the wind. It so peaceful here, and less stressful. I've had a smile on my face since I ventured on this path; I'm content, now that I don't have to oppose the wind again...

Researchers Create 3D Images that Shed New Light on the Activity Below the Earth's Surface
The idea of large devastating earthquakes may be hard to fathom for those living outside of California, but for the residents of "Earthquake Country," ground rumbles are the norm. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, California has about 10,000 earthquakes each year, but most are too small to be felt.
Natural phenomena like these have always fascinated Patricia Persaud. An accomplished seismologist and the newest faculty addition to the Department of Geology & Geophysics at LSU, she is helping to shed new light on the movements below the Earth's surface.
Persaud is one of the researchers contributing to the Salton Seismic Imaging Project (SSIP), a collaborative effort between U.S. and Mexican institutions, and the U.S. Geological Survey funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Geological Survey. This project has provided detailed, subsurface 3D images of the Salton Trough of southern California and northern Mexico and gives geoscientists a better understanding of the Earth's structure close to the San Andreas fault.
"The surface of the Earth is made up of many pieces called plates that fit together like a puzzle," Persaud said. "The plates are constantly moving though very slowly, maybe just a couple of centimeters each year. Over geologic time, this slow and constant motion adds up; mountains grow and ocean basins form and almost all of the action is occurring at the edge of plates. Coincidentally, that's where humans like to live too."
In 2011, the SSIP strategically placed 4,000 seismometers in the ground in southern California and New Mexico. The overall goal of the project was to measure the speed and amplitude of seismic waves that traveled from a set of 126 shallow underground explosions to the seismometers, which measure ground motions due to the passage of seismic waves. Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other seismic sources. After three weeks, the results were retrieved from the seismometers and processed in a computer program to create an image much like the x-ray of a bone. The dataset allowed the SSIP team to identify important unmapped faults or buried interfaces and will help refine the seismic hazard for parts of Imperial County, California, where the population is projected to almost double by 2060.
"California is earthquake country and the San Andreas Fault is long overdue for a large earthquake, something like a 7.8 in magnitude," Persaud said.
To put this into perspective, the Sumatra earthquake in 2004, with a moment magnitude of 9.1 to 9.3, is considered one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. This quake triggered a series of deadly tsunamis killing approximately 280,000 people in 14 countries.
Persaud said scientists do not know exactly when the next big earthquake will happen, but they can predict which areas may feel the greatest impact by producing computer models of scenario earthquakes. "There is certainly an earthquake hazard component to this project," Persaud said. "An estimate of the hazard of an earthquake is related to how much strong ground shaking is going to occur. So, if you have an area of soft sediments, this area is going to shake more than those areas overlying hard rock. Our data will help identify particular areas and this information will help to improve hazard estimates."
Shake maps are real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity after significant earthquakes. Federal, state and local organizations use these maps for post-earthquake response and recovery and for disaster planning.
The next phase of the SSIP will include an analysis of the data collected to the north in the Coachella Valley.
"We know for sure that when the San Andreas fault produces another major earthquake that the Coachella Valley will receive pronounced shaking because it is just north of where the San Andreas is predicted to rupture," Persaud said.

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B'Gosh. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. #ImagineSpring
I remember when preparing for travel was easy. I used to put little thought into my trips or what I needed to bring. Sometimes I wouldn't even be completely sure where I was going, I was just happy to be along for the ride. Then when I had kids, things changed for me. I would get easily overwhelmed at the simple thought of preparing for travel. I would over pack and worry for weeks about what I needed to do and bring. Over the years as my kids and I started to become accustomed to traveling together, we've learned to created our own rhythm of preparation. Being prepared ahead of time has helped everyone (especially me) relax and enjoy the process of travel even more.
Below are a few of the things that we do to prepare as a family for traveling.
1. Shop Early – Find the best deals.
Preparing for travel, especially spring travels after the long winter, usually means that new clothing is needed for the kids. At their age, they tend to sprout through sizes quickly and we often find that last years clothing doesn't fit when we bring it back out of winter storage. Waiting until the last minute to find clothing to pack is just an added hassle. I like to watch ahead of time for spring sales to pop up and take my time to find clothes that my kids actually like and will wear again after the trip. Plus, shopping the sales ahead of time helps me save a lot of money, which is welcomed with the cost of traveling itself.
One of my favorite places to shop spring break fashions for my kids is OshKosh B'Gosh. I've found their clothes are comfortable for my kids, which is important if you've ever listened to a child scream hysterically in the back seat of a car because their shirt is itching them. We also love OshKosh B'Gosh because their clothing is fashionable, cheery and bright colored; perfect for a fun day in the sun. Plus, right now OshKosh B'Gosh has some amazing deals going! Just be sure to print this coupon and take it with you to your local OshKosh B'Gosh store to get extra savings on top of their already great spring break deals!
2. Don't procrastinate packing.
It goes without saying that waiting until the last minute to pack means taking the chance of forgetting something important, like a favorite stuffed sleeping buddy. I like to start early on preparing to pack by setting aside things I know we want to take or making a list of everyone's must have's. By making a checklist I can cross things off as they enter the suitcase or car. Also by doing this I am able to enjoy heading out on our trip instead of mentally going through everything I "think" we forgot to pack.
3. Create a mini first aid kit.
One of the reasons preparing for traveling with kids scared me in the past was because I feared being away from home and having one of my kids get sick or hurt. What would I do? While no one can prevent kids from getting sick or hurt during travel, I can help ease my own worry by preparing ahead of time in case something does happens. To do this I have created a small first aid kit that I bring with me on every trip. The kit includes things such as bandages, antibacterial ointments, over the counter medicines and past medicines prescribed by their doctors for re-occurring issues. It's funny how now when people get a small cut on a trip, they come to me because they know that I will be prepared.

4. Let the kids help.
Involving the kids in travel preparation has become liberating for me. While before I would spend my time negotiating with my kids about what they could and could not bring (which if they had their choice would be everything they owned because they NEED it all), now I give each child their own bag and allow them to take responsibility for what they want to take on the trip. They are only allowed to bring what will fit into their bags, so I have found that they make more conscious decisions about what they really want with them and what can stay at home. Plus, my kids enjoy having their own bags to carry and finding things to pack in it keeps them busy for awhile as I make sure other things are ready to go.
5. Find destination books.
This is a cute new idea that we are starting to adopt for our trips. Ahead of time, when we decide upon a travel destination, I like to search for kids books that include that destination. It could be an educational book about the particular location or a book with a story set in the same location as we are going. Reading it to the kids before we leave helps to create a sense of familiarity and excitement about our travels.
6. Set a spending limit before leaving.
Being prepared for souvenir buying ahead of time has helped my family create a reasonable spending budget for our trips. Plus, especially with my young children, they seem to want to buy something at every stop we make. Since running into an issue with this we have adopted the idea of giving each child a small amount of money which they can use to buy their own souvenir's during our travels. Once the money is gone, it's gone. This has helped them make better choices about what they really like and has cut down on the cases of "I want's" during our trip.
|Girls Clothing from OshKosh B'Gosh Spring Line
7. Research ahead of time.
There are several things to consider about a destination before traveling there with kids. If it is a specific attraction we are traveling to, do they allow outside food and beverage? Will I need a stroller for the younger child? When making a road trip, can I find fun stops to make along the way? Are there attractions nearby that are educational or fun? Being prepared to know the area ahead of time has helped me pack appropriately and saved us from wasting time searching for options in the hotel room.
8. Preparing for home.
While it is never fun to come home, being prepared ahead of time for all of the dirty laundry can help. One of my favorite road trip travel hacks is to purchase a cheap pop up hamper ahead of time and use it to store dirty laundry in at the hotel. This keeps the room less messy during our stay and separates the dirty clothes from the leftover clean clothes in our suitcases. Then I can simply pack the hamper in the car and it can go straight into the laundry when we get home. The rest of the suitcases can go back to our individual rooms for un-packing.
Do you have a useful tip for preparing to travel with kids? We'd love to hear it! Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

I 'm a birdwatcher since 1993 ,but i start to recording birds since a couple of years. Now I'm using a Edirol r-09hr ,previously a Sony MZ RH-1 minidisc recorder, and a Sennheiser ME 67 mic.
I know nothing about birds scientifically. I have always been inspired by Simurgh, the mythical flying creature described in poetry of Attar of Nishapur. In one of his greatest literary works: Manṭiq-uṭ-Ṭayr meaning "Conference of the Birds" or The seven Valleys of Spirituality, Attar describes the seven stages of spirituality in "Conference of the birds":
The Valley of Quest The Valley of Love The Valley of Understanding The Valley of Independence and Detachment The Valley of Unity The Valley of Astonishment and Bewilderment The Valley of Deprivation and Death
In classical and modern Persian literature the Simorḡ is frequently mentioned, particularly as a metaphor for God in Sufi mysticism.

I am a birder from a little town in the west from Frankfurt am Main in Germany. Since 1998 I have a bird sound website: http://www.vogelstimmen-wehr.de/ and want to get all birds from europe with fotos and birdsounds. Many years I used minidisc from Sony: MZ-R30, NH700 and last MZ-RH1. Microphones were whole the time Sennheiser ME80 and ME88 (80cm long), last one I cut in the middle to put it in my bag. The recorded sound was ok and I used it on all my tours. On Minidisc I recorded only in pcm without compression. Since a half year I use the digital wav-recorder Olympus-DM550. In PC I work only with audacity 1.3.12.

I am a nature enthusiast from Calcutta, India. An amateur in the field of birding - photographing and recording the sounds, mostly around my city and sometimes in rest of India. From October 2014 onwards my recording equipment is mostly Marantz PMD661 Mk II mated to a Sennheiser K6/ME66. Prior to that my equipment was Roland Edirol R09HR sometimes mated to a Rode Videomic Pro microphone. I record mostly in 24/96 mode and the original recording can be made available for research purposes. Unless specifically mentioned, I hardly ever modify my bird sound recordings except for some amplification. On some rare occasions I might delete a short man made noise if it is in an interval, without affecting the main vocalization.

text: I'll be the first to admit that I never seem to have enough time – I find myself running to or from work, doing the Cubs run, or the Scouts run, dropping off at life-guarding, doing the shopping, stacking and unstacking the dishwasher, making packed lunches, cleaning, cooking tea, eating tea, planning and assessing for school…and at some point in all of that actually sitting down for a moment or two to catch my breath! Life never seems to stop. So I've adopted a few little 'life hacks' to try and make things a little simpler!


text:
Although the hoodlums fled on sighting the police, three corpses, a motorcycle and 24 expended shells of 7.62mm ammunition were recovered from the scene.
Northern City News could, however, not ascertain if the dead bodies were those of the commuters or victims of the incessant attacks by the herdsmen from previous incidents.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Plateau State Police Command, Matthias Tyopev, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident, on Tuesday.
He told our correspondent that investigation into the crime had commenced, noting, however, that no suspect had been arrested yet.
Tyopev said, "On Saturday, at about 20:00 hours, the Divisional Police Officer in Bassa Division got information that at about 19:45 hours of the same day that a gang of unknown gunmen laid ambush on the road between DTV and Jamraf settlement in Jebu Miango Village, Bassa LGA. They were attacking unsuspecting commuters.
"After receiving the information, the DPO led a patrol team to the scene. But on sighting the police vehicle, the armed men took to their heels and disappeared into the nearby bushes.
"The police combed the area, but the bandits were not found since they spotted the police from a far distance and ran very fast. At the scene, three corpses were recovered who were killed by the gunmen. A motorcycle was also recovered from the scene.
"Also recovered from the scene were 24 expended shells of 7.62mm ammunitions. Photographs of the dead bodies were taken. No suspect has been arrested yet, while investigation is in progress."
Northern City News had reported the claim by Berom Youth Moulders Association that Fulani herdsmen had sacked and 'conquered' over 54 communities in Plateau State between 2001 and 2018 and renamed them their settlement.

With Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Manic Monday all reaching new sales heights this year, you would be forgiven for assuming customers might be less than enthusiastic about another Boxing Day sale. However, if predications are anything to go by, this Boxing Day is set to be the biggest yet, with retailers expecting to profit £2.9bn, £75m more than in 2013.
RetailMeNot, the world's first choice, 'to save some money' commissioned the market research that was conducted by the Centre for Retail Research. By studying 50 major retailers and over 1,000 UK consumers, RetailMeNot found that the British public will be out in full form this Christmas, as Giulio Montemagno, Senior Vice President of international RetailMeNot, quoted that the sales are set to, "rise to nearly £3 billion this year, which is the second highest spend in Europe". Britain is expected to fall behind Germany which is predicted to accumulate £4bn, with France falling slightly behind with a total spend of 2.5bn.
According to research presented by RetailMeNot, the 'selfie generation' is set to spend most of its money on clothing and footwear, household goods and consumer electronics. Clothing and footwear are set to profit £599m, while consumer electronics will profit £538m, as customers are expected to buy more goods for themselves this year. Giulio Montemagno stated, "After having spent a lot to please their loved ones for Christmas, the post-Christmas sales are for many the occasion to give themselves a treat. The 'Selfie Generation' is fast becoming a gift for retailers."
Though customers will be buying gifts to pamper themselves, they will also be preparing for New Year's celebrations, as the biggest riser for sales this year is set to be alcohol and confectionary. This will include an increase of 18% from 2013, with an overall profit of 133m, as consumer tastes have become more sophisticated. Customers now prefer quality over quantity.
Shopping is expected to move away from toys and consumer electronics as sales for these items are set to fall by 1.5% to £472m and 0.6% to £538m. However, this isn't expected to put customers off spending over Christmas, as Amazon will be beginning its sale December 24th in a hope to draw in cash careful consumers earlier.
Online sales are expected to have an impact on Boxing Day with Christmas and Boxing Day sales set to reach £1.3bn, £636m on Christmas Day and £748m on Boxing Day. Dan Wagner, founder and CEO of Powa Technologies said, "This has already been a truly watershed year for mobile commerce, and the vast amount of sales expected to take place online over Christmas and Boxing Day will truly cement 2014 as a turning point in retail".
Wagner also highlights how many consumers now see hunting for goods online as a hobby, allowing customers to, "avoid crowds and long lines at the tills", as he describes how queuing at traditional checkout systems can be 'tedious'. With more pressure on creating the perfect shopping experience, retailers will have to put more focus on in store sales to draw customers away from the comfort of their couches. Wagner went on to add, "Retailers must explore ways to combine their bricks-and-mortar" in order to provide an easy, flexible shopping experience in store.
Retailers are expecting to bring in 2.7% more profit than in 2013, when revenue reached £2.7 bn. Expectations are high and retailers will have to be prepared for the mass demand that has spread across the festive period this year.
Rather than being focused on Boxing Day sales, this year has seen an overall success for festive sales, whether they fall before Christmas, with Black Friday reaching £810m or whether it is the post Christmas sales starting earlier. Regardless of which event profits the most, this Christmas has seen an increasing confidence in retailers providing gifts before Christmas and increasing demand for stores to make sales s

Digital Video Memo
Making reminders or memos for yourself (as well as others) often come in many forms – some of us use Post It notes, while others leave a handwritten note using a piece of recycled paper or an envelope. Others stick reminders via fridge magnets, but how about one with both visual and audio cues? The Digital Video Memo fits the bill nicely here.
Designed with pen-dodging dummies in mind, this idiot-proof magnetic gizmo allows anyone who can press a button to record a single 30 second video message. It's a doddle – no pens or scraps of paper required. Once you've recorded your message a flashing LED alerts passers by. All they have to do is press the 'play' button – easy! Think of it as a high tech sticky note with a 1.5" LCD screen, built-in vid cam and USB rechargeable battery.
Of course, it might end up as something negative for this £29.99 device considering moms who would love to find another avenue to nag their kids as well as husbands. Good thing there is no auto-play loop here…

Yesterville Toy Room - Coming Soon!
8 comments:
Looking forward to this blog - I had a similar Evel Knieval set but as I recall the Evel figure was plastic and molded in the crouching/riding position.ReplyDelete
Regardless, the sound of that wheel revving up is forever ingrained in my mind.
Thanks, Bubba. I can't wait to get started once I find a spare moment.ReplyDelete
I remember a European version of this set having a posed, plastic figure. Are you from Europe?
The only toy that I can remember living up to the commercials.ReplyDelete
Our Evel figure was bendy. Like Gumby.
He could ride standing on one foot or in a headstand.
Cool, cool toy.
I'm not from Europe so I have no idea why mine was not like the norm - I did have relatives who traveled often to Europe at the time though and it may have been a gift from them.ReplyDelete
Okay a quick Google search reveals that Ideal dropped Evel Knievel in 1977 after he attacked an author with a baseball bat over something written that Knievel didn't approve of. The toys were altered into a new line called "Team America" - I'm pretty sure I had the "Knievel look alike" from that line-up.ReplyDelete
Mystery solved!
Bubba, I remember the Team America stuff now. There was a comic book that went with that stuff. The one I'm thinking of was a European release that used the same box art but not the Knievel name. I wonder if that came out "post convict" Evel, as well.ReplyDelete
Are you going to do anything on the 1970s GI Joe Adventure team line? I'm an 80s man myself but even I thought that was a pretty cool lineReplyDelete
I'd like to do some Adventure Team stuff. Currently, I don't have any vintage AT toys but have quite a few of the re-releases and Gi Joe Collectors club replicas. I'm sure I'll do some posts on those in the future....maybe soon.ReplyDelete

Officially known as French Polynesia, Tahiti and her Islands are comprised of more than a hundred volcanic islands and atolls sprinkled over four million square kilometres of ocean in the South Pacific.
Tahiti, Queen of the South Pacific. Tahiti, the largest island in French Polynesia towers over the ocean like a proud and royal Queen and is appropriately crowned by a circle of majestic peaks.
The mountainous interior is adorned with deep valleys, clear streams, and high waterfalls, all bathed in green iridescence of Mother Nature's light. The coastal lands, edged with a rugged coastline, are home to fields of tropical flowers and most of the island's population.
Papeete, meaning the "water basket" was once a gathering place where Tahitians came to fill their calabashes with fresh water. Now the invigorating capital city and gateway of the country, boasts world-class resorts, spas, fine dining and unique restaurants, nightclubs, vibrant markets, pearl shops, and boutiques.
Bora Bora, The Romantic Island. Under a one hour flight from the island of Tahiti or Moorea, the island of Bora Bora, with a lagoon resembling an artist's palette of blues and greens, is love at first sight. Romantics from around the world have laid claim to this island where the castle-like Mount Otemanu pierces the sky. Lush tropical slopes and valleys blossom with hibiscus, while palm-covered motu circle the illuminated lagoon like a delicate necklace. Perfect white-sand beaches give way to emerald waters where colored fish animate the coral gardens as they greet the giant manta rays. This could be easily be described as the center of the romantic universe, where luxury resorts and spas dot the island with overwater bungalows, thatched roof villas, and fabled ambience.
Simply said, Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
Moorea, the Magical Island. A few minutes from the island of Tahiti by plane, and only thirty minutes by high-speed catamaran, Moorea soars magically out of the ocean in an explosion of green velvet – what you would imagine a South Seas island to be. A wide, shallow lagoon surrounds the island's vertical mountains where poetic threads of waterfalls tumble down fern-softened cliffs. Peaceful meadows flanked by pinnacles of green will fill your senses and renew your belief in the majesty of nature. Pastel-painted houses surrounded by gardens of hibiscus and birds of paradise, circle the island in a fantasy of happy, yet simple villages.
Huahine casts a spell over you from the moment you arrive. Only a 40-minute flight from the island of Tahiti, the enchanted Huahine, with its lush forests, untamed landscape and quaint villages, is one of Tahiti's best-kept secrets, a place where you can live like a local. Less tourist infrastructure, plenty of beaches and a picture perfect waterfront village make Huahine the best island for those looking for warm Polynesian bliss without the hype.
Rangiroa, a place that is simply beyond human imagination, where land and sea form an unexpected truce. One of the world's greatest destinations for scuba diving, boasting the world's second largest atoll, Rangiroa has a deep lagoon so vast that it could fit the entire island of Tahiti inside of it. Visitors may find Rangiroa to be a low-key, but with paved roads, a few stores, a couple of resorts, plentiful internet and gourmet restaurants, there's really everything here you need.
