"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move." – Robert Louis Stevenson
Day 1, Tuesday: Meeting my Host
The bullet train to Beijing took about 6 hours from Shanghai, this, more than anything else, made me realize how enormous china is, giving how close the two cities look on a map. At "Beijing South railway" station I took the subway to "Jinsong" station where I waited for my host. Sitting on my backpack while watching people in a rush back from work, it was around 5 pm, I took another look at my host picture just to see if I could spot her before she would, and yes I did, going for the hug I had to take of the smaller backpack on my front first. I was her first guest, a risk not so many couchsurfers are willing to take.
After the first 30 minutes, I could see how she was acting like it was a job, a mission, checking every 5 min if I was ok, It was a bit funny actually, "-You are VERY organized",was the only phrase I could think of to let her know to calm down. We hopped on a double-decker bus, the only one I saw in China, no way I would confuse it with another.
So more about Bowen, a Chinese girl, my age, living in her university campus, and no I didn't stay in her dorm, I stayed in her aunt's appartment who was out of the country. How lucky! I got to stay in my own bedroom, in a pretty nice condo. It felt good to have a closet for a change, and to take out everything from my backpack was quite a special moment.
With tired legs I followed Bowen to a nearby market. I immediately attacked a food stand, my empty stomach craved those grilled chicken sticks, but Bowen was worried I would get sick, so I listened to her advice, I knew I would be coming back to this night market anyway. Vegetables left and right, some I never seen before. Yet My biggest surprise was to spot a kind of pancake I thought was 100% Moroccan. It was both a disappointment and a happy discovery. "Msaman" in Morocco was called "Bing" in China. A bite here and there trying to save some for later. Around me were staring faces I already got used to.
Back home, dinner was served, two bowls of white rice, tofu, chicken, and some vegetables I tried to eat out of courtesy. We talked about our lives, my plans for the next week, and where would I go the next day. Bowen had a translating app in hand which she used pretty often, I encouraged her to put it aside. and to spit out words until I understand.
Day 2, Wednesday: The forbidden City
After a good night sleep, I got up and cooked my breakfast, three eggs, a couple of toasts, a banana, and an expired lemon juice, apparently in China if it is not 1 or 2 months past the expiration date, it is alright, and my rule is, do as the locals do. So was I risking it ? Maybe. On the table, a blueprint Bowen left me to not get lost on the way back home from the metro Station. There was no WiFi home, only a USB stick I could use in my computer, so I had to go almost every morning to Starbucks to find some dates through my Iphone apps.
To get to the Forbidden city, I had to take a bus then the metro to "Tian'anmen east station", taking the bus was the challenging part. Understand: Adventure doesn't have to be jumping out of airplanes or cliffs, it can just be hopping on a bus, taking a chance and following your guts. Taking the metro in Beijing was a pain in the ass, because you go through the same security measures as taking a flight, so I had to scan my backpack every time. At "Tian'anmen" square, I headed to the main Gate of the forbidden city a huge portrait of "Mao Tse-tung" to remind locals of hard old times. This place was where emperors lived it was called the forbidden city because you would get your head chopped of if you tried to go inside back then. Talk about an amazing time to be alive. Travel has got much easier than before, yet most people are afraid of leaving their comfortable homes.
Once I got inside it felt exactly like Gyeongbokgung palace in Seoul, only with different colors, orange instead of black roofs, besides the fake guides approaching me from time to time. The ticket was quite expensive, so I didn't bother taking any guide, I entered from the south Gate and got out from the north one to Jingshan Park where I went up to see the view of city. At the top, I was asked to put on a traditional Chinese outfit, the view from up there was pretty amazing. then to the beautiful Beihai park, with its huge lake that had raft teams of ducks.
I spent the whole day going from parks to temples to museums, then through a Hutong where you cannot walk without getting asked repeatedly to hop on a rickshaw, I could easily feel I would be skammed since I was alone, so no thank you. I did not like that you had to purchase a ticket for each park or temple. Wandering around, in no pre-planned direction, I found myself way too far to go back to the same metro station I got off from that morning, so I started asking people for the nearest subway station, most couldn't answer me in English, until one person stopped and was more than happy to help me, he walked me all the way to the station, then asked to take a picture with me, we talked for a bit, he was the kindest stranger I met. I told him about my trip, It made his day and he made mine.
On my way back home, I got off at the wrong bus stop, it was written in mandarin so I had to count until I would get to stop #12 and that was supposed to be the right one, but I when I saw unfamiliar buildings, I knew I messed up, Bowen's phone didn't work well, so I had to rely on myself and since I was the one who had the keys to the apartment. I had to come back before she does because I promised her I would be back before 10pm. and here I was at 9:45 pm and I was still lost, thankfully I had the address written in mandarin so it wasn't difficult to have someone show where to go.
Day 3 Thursday: 798 art district and Cs meet up.
Upon checking Trip Advisor that morning, I was kind of disappointed having been everywhere in the previous two days. It was time to get creative, I messaged a girl from Couchsurfing to show me around, I told her to meet me at the Beijing art expo, thinking that we'll find some cool galleries, but when we went inside, We were asked for a ticket before we could even have a glimpse of what it was all about, so we left, the art expo was not far from "Tienanmen" square, once we were out, there was a huge crowd protesting in front of a line of nonreactive guards. "This is very usual", Len chin explained.
We moved to the 798 art district, this place was really awesome. Many cool artsy shops, hand made sculptures, paintings, and more. I tried to not buy any souvenirs but this place was the exception to the rule. For lunch, we had a huge fish dumped in a mixtures of hot vegetables, heated on a stove while we were eating.
Day 4, Friday: The Great Wall, "Samantai"
I am not an early riser, If it weren't for my disciplined host, who insisted that, to be able to come at home the same day, we have to wake up early. Bowen was in charge of everything, she planned it all the previous night, she explained to me that there is several spots where you can see the great wall, and that the closest one to Beijing is so crowded that you cannot even take a picture without having people on the background. she added that to go to a less crowded place, it would take us all day. I didn't think much about it, and setup my alarm clock to 7am.
In the morning, we first went to a supermarket for snacks, Then to the bus station. 2 hours later we got dropped off at the last stop. dozens of locals almost blocking the door shouting words that seem to be nearby towns. they all used their own cars as taxis. Many approached us particularly because ,well, I was the tourist in their eyes. Bowen ignored them and their ridiculous suggestions. She was looking for a bus, she talked to the only driver who didn't approach us, he already had people inside his car/minivan, but needed three more people. they were negotiating the price to get us to the great wall (Samantai). She waived at me to get in, I wasn't very comfortable about it because I preferred to wait for the bus to show up.
The car was already packed, yet, not moving because the driver was waiting for passenger number 10. the seats were old wooden benches, I had to sit on my jacket. Bowen got along with the driver, 30 minutes of decoding mandarin words and laughter here and there. The car stopped and we had to get off thinking it will only take us a 10-15 minute walk to get to our final destination. 45 minutes until we saw the first village where we asked some old women sitting under the sun if there is any bus stop nearby. "It's here" they pointed to a sign, few minutes later the bus we were supposed to get in at the bus station was coming. The ticket was not even a dollar.
Off the bus, we first walked though this small village still in construction. it was redesigned after the original that was back when the wall actually had a purpose. The hike was not intense but when we were up there, the view was breathtaking, it got better and better as we rose higher. 2 pm already, Bowen said that we could stay for about an hour. I couldn't stop taking pictures, Contemplating the view and trying to take it in as much as I could, I would stop for about two minutes and observe with continued attention to every detail.
On the way back, we took the 2 buses back then a taxi once in Beijing because the public transportation ends around 10 pm. home found us at 11 pm, what a day!
This was another time I felt a sense of accomplishment since I started my trip, besides setting foot in Tokyo
Day5, Saturday: Heaven's Temple, an acrobatic show and discovering the city's nightlife.
Bowen, being the great host insisted on showing me a place before she leaves Beijing later that day. she said it was a park/temple, I was not particularly excited to get up early for that, but I was being a good traveler and taking chances is what it is all about. it took a ticket to get inside,again. First I could see old people from a distance, others playing chess. groups in circles playing with their feet not letting this feathered thing fall in the ground, I did that for years in my neighborhood, in Morrocco, but with a proper ball. Bowen talked to a lady, then came to tell me they wanted me to try it. I didn't hesitate to join them. What blew my mind was this old women of at least 80 years old passing the thing with a little trick or a jump. it was great to see how happy these people were, not to mention how fit they were.
We moved to the temple of heaven. and suddenly too many tourist appeared, big groups, those tours just remind me how awesome my solo trip is. While looking at the roofs I noticed some typography that looked exactly like arabic, only it did not make sense. Bowen explained that during a dynasty when an emperor was from a north part of china where people spoke a different language than mandarin or cantonese, this led the conversation to religion, Bowen had no idea was muslim, she was surprised, she confessed that if she knew that before, she would not probably host me. I was happy I could enlighten her a bit about my religion. She explained to me how the government do not want people to be Buddhist anymore because it is against their interest.
We had lunch together at a japanese fast food restaurant, she left to her university and I met lea, a Chinese girl I messaged on an online app, she was cute. we met in "dongdan" metro station which was just a bus ride from my place. she said we have to wait for her friend. she explained she was afraid I wouldn't understand her, and that her friend spoke better English. another awkward day, I thought. Her vibe, movements and the way she looked at me when she talked showed me immediately that she was attracted to me.
When her friend came We tried to take a selfie with my camera but I realized I left my SIM card in my computer so we had to go back home, the funny thing was taking the bus with the girls, they told me they never do that and they always take taxis to move from place to place, ironically I was being the local, and then it hit me how the same scenario would happen in Morocco, girls would not want to take the bus because it is not fancy, we got off at the wrong bus stop, and we had to walk a lot, both girl had high heels, they were talking most of the time in mandarin, at one point I could feel their concern even if I did not understand the language. Each minute they would ask if we're we close yet, when we got to the building I asked them to go up with me but they refused, I expected that, I got the memory card and we took a taxi this time, but only to get stuck in traffic for 30 min or so, we didn't get to our destination, not even halfway, and the ride costed us a lot, we were 3 so it wasn't that bad.
They took me to Nanluoguxiang, it was an old neighborhood with traditional shops restaurants, the place we chose to eat was really cool. The girls ordered too much food, with a full belly I had to go back home to move from my place to a hostel, because I wanted to discover Beijing night life, Sanlitun youth hostel was downtown for only 40 yuan a night, less than 10 dollars, it was very tricky to find the place, it had no sign and I almost went crazy before finding it. After settling my backpack, I took a quick shower and I went to meet Lea to see an acrobatic show, her friend didn't come even if she already purchased 3 tickets, before the show started I tried to pay lea my ticket, but she refused. How awesome!! Chaoyang Theatre Acrobatics Show was amazing, definitely one of the craziest things I've ever seen. It was far better than I could ever expect. 2 hours felt really short.
Back to my hostel, I put my bag camera, and get out to discover the nightlife. Sanlitun was full of these bars where a girl would sing and or dance and people would be at their tables watching the show. I was looking for clubs. For the first two, I couldn't stay inside for more than a minute because of the smoke. I had another name of a club recommended to me by a Chinese girl I use to go out with back in Canada, the club was called Mix. It seemed fancy, the ticket was 50 yuan, crazy expensive but It was one night so I decided I wouldn't drink to balance it out. The vibe wasn't that good, girls were basically unapproachable. They would always get weirded out by my straight forwardness. it was not the best night but it was still interesting.
Day 6 sunday: Houhai
I met up with a new girl from Couchsurfing, waiting for her at a subway station, having no clue if I would recognize her. Zhenni was pretty different from her pictures, less cute than what I expected. A bit disappointed but it's okay, no big deal. We went to Nanluguoxiang, I was sure she sensed my unenthusiasm towards what was supposed to be interesting for a foreigner. It was because I've seen it all before, the same shops selling the same traditional Chinese souvenirs. we moved to Houhai by subway,where I got stopped by the stupid security, for what? a deoderant in my bag, I've had it for the past week and never faced any problem, I explained that to a cluless Chinese guard, I told Zhenni let's try another exit, and it worked.
While we were walking we were asked to have a ride on these rickshaws, some were more persistant than others, I would have been more into it if I was slightly interested in the girl, this one particular old man, kept pushing to almost begging us to get on his ride, Zhenni was polite with him but my firm no, at the end, sent him away. I tried the candy strawberry stick for the first time, it was extremely sugary. Houhai seemed quite cool, and has exactly the laid back vibe I enjoy. A River and bars and restaurant from each side. Zhenni suggested to sit in one, I declined, it was midday, what for? I thought. we saw a few street shows, but one got my attention, an old guy playing with sticks and throwing them to his friend, Zhenni felt how curious I was, so she asked the man if I could try. He gave me the sticks, and they engaged in conversation. a while later, a ring of people started to form, it felt amazing to bring the crowd to this man. I was a street performer for few minutes. The man even asked for my picture.
I was hungry so we went to for some noodles after that, a Chinese menu meant delicious food.I enjoyed listening to Zhenni crazy stories in Sri lanka. She was also planing a trip to Kenya, which I had no idea it was as expensive as a 300$ per night hotels.
Day 7 Monday: Saying goodbye
My last day in a city is always a lazy one, it's the day you don't want to get up from bed until you starve, same breakfast different day. My phone in hands asking Lea to get some coffee with me, she was busy so she asked me to go to the closest subway station to her campus, which was at least an hour ride, I liked this girl so It didn't matter, getting to know her better made me fall for her more, she was telling me about her classes, she wanted to be a movie director, was it destiny reminding me to follow my dreams and continue taking acting classes. We made a deal: to cast me when she makes a movie, sounds unrealistic right? Well so was leaving everything behind and going for a trip to Asia.
Everything starts with an idea, 2 years ago I've put a picture on my facebook cover, of a beach, I didn't even know its name then when my brother commented asking where it is. I didn't want to seem lame, so I did my research and it was phi phi island, thailand, then my bestfriend asked me when are we going there, not in a serious, but rather in a day dreaming way. I replied with the same light mindset. One day.That day came to being when I landed in Thailand after China, Korea and Japan.

Pittsfield Licensing Board asks for updates on inactive liquor licenses
PITTSFIELD — The city Licensing Board on Monday asked for updates from the holders of four currently inactive liquor licenses and set a deadline for a sales agreement concerning one all-alcohol license.
The board also approved raising the city's official temporary population figure from 50,000 to 75,000, which will allow the issuance of up to five additional seasonal package store liquor licenses.
Meeting with the board Monday were representatives of holders of liquor licenses associated with the Polish Community Club on Linden Street, the former Chameleons nightspot on East Street, the former Baba Louie's Sourdough Pizza on Depot Street, and the former Debbie Wong Restaurant & Lounge on Dalton Avenue.
John Herbert, holder of the license for the Debbie Wong restaurant at 315 Dalton Ave., told the board in providing an update, "I have nothing new to say; it is in the hands of the Realtor."
However, board members noted that efforts to sell the building and/or the liquor license separately have now dragged on for well over a year. After some debate they decided to set a deadline after which the license will be revoked.
Herbert was given until the June board meeting to produce a signed purchase and sale agreement.
Previously, board member Diane Pero and others suggested a 30- to 60-day time limit, but Richard Stockwell's proposal to allow a 90-day grace period was ultimately accepted unanimously.
Pero questioned how aggressively the property was being marketed, saying the former restaurant site is listed online for more than the assessed value, and that the facility seems too large for the needs of most restaurants opening today.
She and other board members also pressed Herbert on why he wasn't more aggressively marketing the all-alcohol license separately.
"I can't believe there is not interest in an all-alcohol license in this city," Chairman Carmen C. Massimiano said.
"You can do what you have to do," Herbert said at one point. "I've done all I can do."
He said he believes the economy could be to blame for a lack of interest in the Dalton Avenue property.
John Kerwood, representing the Polish Community Club, said he has notified more than 200 club members and set a membership meeting for April 24, during which time a new slate of club officers and a manager for the bar liquor license will be selected.
The club has struggled for more than a year to find a permanent replacement for the late Stella Spence as manager.
Kerwood said the club also is prepared to pay $1,100 the club owes to update its license, but the bank won't release the funds until there is a new board and officers in place to sign off on the funds withdrawal.
The board continued the matter to May, when Kerwood said the outstanding issues should be resolved.
"It has been a long struggle for you, but the end may be at hand," Massimiano said.
Attorney Anthony Doyle updated the board on efforts to sell the liquor license for the former Chameleons at 1350 East St. He said it is being "actively marketed," and while one deal fell through, there are several other parties showing interest, and a resolution is possible by the board's May meeting.
Doyle said there had been attempts to sell the property and the license, but now selling the license for use elsewhere in the city is being considered.
The liquor license is in the name of Melissa Drumm-Sweener, who operated the nightspot as a tenant in the building, which is owned by the Pamela Rice family. Doyle said Drumm-Sweener has signed off on a potential sale of the license.
Paul Masiero, of Richmond, owner of the former Baba Louie's at 34 Depot St., told the board six or seven parties have expressed an interest in opening a business at the site. He said he is working with the building owner, George Whaling of Whaling Properties, and believes a new establishment will be in place within eight months.
He closed his restaurant in November, saying it was taking up too much of his time to operate restaurants in Great Barrington, Hudson, N.Y., and Pittsfield, and he would reluctantly close the city operation.
The board asked for an update on progress at its September meeting and for a letter updating the board in June.
The board also approved an official figure for the temporary population of Pittsfield at 75,000, an increase of 25,000.
For each 5,000 increase, the board will be allowed to approve another seasonal package store liquor license.
"That sounds great to me," said board member Thomas Campoli, who added that the current number of seasonal package store licenses is now at the maximum under the 50,000 figure.
Massimiano said the state Alcohol Beverages Control Commission had informed the board Pittsfield was using "a very low ball estimate" for the number of visitors that annually swell the temporary population.

When you think about German food, what comes to mind? Probably a pretzel, schnitzel, or sausage of some kind? One very popular street food and fast food item that has conquered German hearts in the past decades is the döner (pronounced sort of like dew-nah, or doo-nah).
In the 1960s, Turkish workers arrived in Germany to fill the demand for labor in a booming post-war economy. Many never left, started families and shared their traditions, one of which is döner. The döner, meaning 'turning meat', is a traditional rotisserie Turkish meat dish served with rice on a platter.
The German version of the döner was allegedly developed in Berlin by Turkish guest workers in the early 1970s by stuffing the döner meat into baked pita bread. It is typically eaten hand-held, burrito style, wrapped in aluminum foil to keep the contents warm. The pita bread is filled with roasted chicken (sometimes turkey or beef) meat, topped with your choice of lettuce, tomato, onions, cabbage, spicy chili flakes, and usually a garlic-yogurt sauce, which is to die for! This simple and quickly made sandwich is available for lunch, dinner, and after last call, making it popular with the party crowd that leaves the clubs right before the sun rises.

What Time Are the Olympics Closing Ceremonies?
With the closing ceremonies less than 24 hours away, the only questions remaining are: Will there be Spice Girls? Will the Queen smile this time? And most importantly, well, when do they actually start?
NBC will broadcast the closing ceremonies on tape-delay at 7 p.m. Eastern Sunday. The network said Saturday that it will also live-stream the ceremonies online.

Yeah this year has been harder. I'm a university student who has to support himself as well. I managed to get a really great job offer. Will be working as an engineer drafter at the end of spring semester. Pays really well and I'll be working in my field so I'm stoked about that. This year is just going to have to be a struggle though.11|00|0

Yep. I was doing alright (well, working two jobs at 65 hours a week) but then I ended my long term relationship, which led to me having to move cities to live with my parents, so I had to quit my jobs and then spent about a month unemployed while my ex was trying to convince me to come back (and I was actually considering it), and now I work part time for a nonprofit. So yeah, I'm having a bit of struggles lol. Currently looking for a second job but dreading the thought of going back into waitressing.00|00|0
It seems like you are going through a rough time. :(
Mind if I PM you?
It's not that bad :) I adore my job, and my parents have been nice enough to not charge me rent yet. But you are welcome to pm me!

Hey yall,
This is your last guranteed release for the week. It's a few hours late because the wife and I went to go watch Captain America: Civil War last night. Pretty disappointed with how they chose to portray the message of the movie, but that's an argument for another time. Instead of my pointless ramblings, here's Chapter 228: Prince of Devils? instead. I'm gunna read it just to wash the nasty taste out of my mouth.

This novel is the definition of perfection. 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
I can't wait for the movie!

The Largest Home in Pasadena!Nov 12th, 2008 | By Lindsay | Category: TV Locations
If you thought the Benson mansion was huge, you ain't seen nothing yet! 🙂 Just down the street is another immense property – one that actually has the distinction of being the LARGEST home in Pasadena!!! The 31,415-square-foot home has 15 bedrooms, 19 bathrooms!!!!!, and sits on close to five acres. I mean, come on, does any one person honestly need that much room???? 19 bathrooms???? When I first moved to Southern California, in the year 2000, this mansion was actually under construction. The building was finally completed about two years ago and has sat empty ever since. So strange! Sadly, the original residence that sat on this site, which was featured featured as the Clampett's new upscale digs in the 1993 movie The Beverly Hillbillies, burned to the ground in a massive fire in 1998. The monstrosity pictured above is what was built in its place.
However, all is not lost, as the newly built mansion has a Hollywood resume of its own. Besides being featured in an LG commercial, the property showed up in a 2006 episode of CSI: Miami. I am fairly certain that the episode which filmed on the property was Season 4's "Driven", in which a group of rich women are robbed at gunpoint at an upscale hotel spa. I think the mansion's indoor pool and spa stood in for the hotel and spa in the episode. It's easy to see why producers chose to use this home as the hotel, as the mansion and surrounding property are so unbelievably huge and ornate that they could easily pass for a resort.
From what I understand the mansion has never been lived in and has been on the market for the past two years for the meager asking price of $52 million. You can take a look at its now-defunt real estate website here. According to this article, the mansion is one of the ten most expensive homes in the United States! And this article has some great pics of the unbelievable dwelling and its five acre property.
Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂
Stalk It: The largest home in Pasadena is located at 1288 South Oakland Avenue.

After the Berlin Wall came down, how long did it take for East Germany to catch up with West Germany?
- print Print

Expert Answers
pohnpei397 | Certified Educator
The parts of Germany that used to be East Germany have still not caught up to what used to be West Germany. That means that more than 20 years have not been enough to get East Germany caught up to the west.
There are at least two reasons for this. First, the East German economy was devastated by its decades as a communist economy. It lacked the kind of experience with capitalism that was needed. Second, knowing that the west was much better off than the East, many of the most talented Easterners moved to the West once this was possible.
For these reasons and others, the former East Germany has not caught up to the West.
Koihbbgfdf | Student
Actually what used to be east Germany has still not caught up with what west Germany was to this very day.

The Estonians are not quite so bad but basically those people in the Baltic States are fucking retards. I don't know what went wrong along the line for them to turn out like that. Russia did right to step on them hard and should do so again.

12 volumes, comprising 72 consecutive monthly issues, 8vo
1792 · Philadelphia
by CAREY, Mathew (1760-1839)
Philadelphia: Carey [and Carey, Stewart and Co.], 1792. 12 volumes, comprising 72 consecutive monthly issues, 8vo. (8 x 4 3/4 inches). Collations as below. Some leaves lacking or supplied. Contemporary sheep, flat spines in six compartments divided by gilt roll tool, black morocco lettering piece in the second compartment. Provenance: Beverly Public Library (bookplates and inked stamps) America's first literary magazine, including early printings of the Federalist Papers, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Hamilton's Report on Manufactures. A mostly-complete run of The American Museum , America's first literary magazine, and a pioneering effort on the part of its publisher, Mathew Carey, to bring news to a national audience, and to develop and promote an indigenous literary culture. Carey began The American Museum on the heels of a failed partnership with other printers called the Columbian Magazine . Carey's original goal in his solo venture was to cull from other sources the best essays on political, economic, and cultural subjects, as well as poetry and prose, and offer it to a national audience. Despite the note to the reader in his first issue apologizing for his journal being "destitute as it is of originality," he soon began to publish original work. A favorable opinion of the Museum from George Washington, often reprinted in advertisements, enhanced its reputation. Carey cast a wide net in soliciting writers and topics for his periodical. Among the distinguished contributors are Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine, James Bowdoin, David Rittenhouse, Benjamin West, Jeremy Belknap, Ezra Stiles, Noah Webster, H.M. Brackenridge, Joel Barlow, Timothy Dwight, Benjamin Rush, Joel Dickinson, and Tench Coxe. All of the major issues of the day, as well as scientific and cultural events, found a place in its pages. Not the least of these are the debates surrounding the Constitution, but also internal improvements, manufactures, agriculture, and the general state of the nation, as well as poetry and varied prose. The appearance of the Federal Constitution in the September 1787 issue is one of the first contemporary printings of the document, and the inclusion in the same issue of a "Letter Relative to the Hessian Fly" shows the range of the journal's interests. The American Museum became a vital source for information about the activities of the federal government, as Carey printed reports from cabinet departments, the proceedings of Congress, state constitutions, treaties with foreign nations, and foreign intelligence. Authors contributing literary essays and poetry include Francis Hopkinson, Philip Freneau, David Humphreys, Timothy Dwight, and John Trumbull. The success of The American Museum helped establish Mathew Carey as the leading printer of his generation. Through the publication of the periodical he was able to develop a distribution network which greatly aided him in coming years as he became a leading book publisher. A congressional change in postal rates for magazines in 1792 forced Carey to end The American Museum in order "to have recourse to some other object that might afford a better reward to industry." Complete sets with all volumes and all plates are extremely scarce. The present set collates as follows: Volume 1: iv, [5]-408, 421-492pp, with errors in pagination [i.e. pp. 409-420 not issued].

I tried to start my Pontiac Grand Prix 02 it sputtered died turn the again. No power to car at all. Think I blown a fuse. Not sure which one though.
4 Answers
Check fuse box under the hood. Your battery could just be toast also. Put a volt meter on it and see if it's even close to 12 volts. If you are seeing 10 or 11 range, replace the battery. Post back with results.
The ignition locks so the key won't come out either.
Once the car starts again, the steering wheel will unlock and you should be able to remove the key. Did you check your fuses yet?
I know that. Ha ha. Just got off work. Checked fuses. Had an idea to Disconnected the battery reconnected it. Fired right up. Thank you for helping me out with my questions.

Bad Ass Presidents: America's Military Leaders from Washington to Roosevelt

Availability: unspecified
Product Description
* * * * This book is FREE for Kindle Unlimited Users - Download your copy now * * * *Do you like history, but hate all of the boring stuff you have to slug through to get to the good stuff?Bad Ass Presidents follows the life of America's warrior Presidents. Forget Bush, forget Obama - They're a bunch of pussies compared to these guys. And, just so you know - we took out all of the boring crap, and left just what you need to know.George Washington rode fearlessly at the head of his troops. During the French and Indian wars he had two horses shot from under him, and four bullet holes blasted through his coat. None of that discouraged him.Andrew Jackson has the dubious honor of being the first President to have an assassination attempt made upon his life. What did the old warrior do? He charged the son-of-a-bitch with his cane and went on with his day. William Henry Harrison defeated the Indian chief Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames. At the Battle of Tippecanoe he had two horses shot from under him and kept fighting. Zachary Taylor, hero of the War of 1812 and Mexican War, was propelled into office through his military fame. Because of religious beliefs he refused to be inaugurated on Sunday. As a result this was the only day in history America had neither a President nor Vice-President. Abraham Lincoln fought in the Black Hawk War; physically tossed an agitator out of the audience at his first political rally; in the Civil War he often visited battlefields, walking here and there, with no regard for the dangers involved. General Ulysses S. Grant was a hard drinking, rough and tumble fighter who moved from one battle to the next not stopping to rest in between. Of him all Lincoln could say was - "I can't spare him, he fights." Theodore Roosevelt was a gentleman, a scholar, and one of the hardest fighting Presidents we have ever had. He was a frontiersman with his own ranch in the Dakotas; he raised his own regiment, the Rough Riders, to fight in the Spanish American War.

|Subject: Nepal
|Simona, I have a folder with about 40 different bookmarks for websites with some relevance to Nepal (from general info. to personal travelogues) as well as a number of quotes from travellers who have been to Nepal. This is all in very raw form, waiting for me to have time to go through each of them, annotate, and put up as Nepal pages on our site. If your brother would like, I can send you the Favourites folder and then, when he's narrowed down his travel a bit, I'd be happy to send the relevant quotes to him. Send me a note by private email, please. Judy in HK

Already tried v1.3R2... no go.. some help please..
just let it update it only has 3.2 in it the worst thing that can happen is you'll end up with duplicate news and weather chans like i did. they can easily be removed.
Or you could install Preloader, and enable the "skip disc update"
Are you sure you have the correct version? You know there's a totally broken release around that was ripped with an usb loader?
make sure you have the OneUp release.

Office Manager/Administrator - Resurrection Brooklyn
Private Profile
Brooklyn, New York, United States
(24 hrs/week – 8 hrs/ day Monday, Tuesday, Thursday)
About Our Ministry:
Resurrection Brooklyn began worship in Park Slope in March 2004 with the hope of becoming the first of many new neighborhood congregations to serve the growing and ever-changing population of New York City's largest borough. We started with a small group of "Brooklynites", many of whom were attending Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, who wanted a local congregation to which they could invite their friends and neighbors.
As the Park Slope congregation grew, we began making plans for another worshipping community in Williamsburg, which took root in 2005 and also began to grow. Over time, these two congregations attracted many people from neighborhoods in between and we have now started our third congregation in Clinton Hill. Together, and alongside many other churches and ministries in Brooklyn, we intend to be a faithful presence that displays God's renewing work in Jesus Christ. And we hope God will continue to bless our efforts in starting many more new congregations in Brooklyn.
While our network and our congregations are still fairly new, our beliefs and practices are not. Resurrection Brooklyn wholeheartedly embraces the historic Christian faith expressed in all the ecumenical creeds of the universal
church (e.g., the Apostles and Nicene Creeds). Secondarily, we are committed to the theological heritage of the Protestant Reformation seen in our commitment to the faith as it is expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith and our affiliation with the
Evangelical Presbyterian denomination. Because we are rooted in these theological commitments, we are able to partner with churches across the theological spectrum and celebrate any work that is done in the name of Jesus.

text: Oceana Group, home of the Lucky Star fish brand, yesterday reported a 27 percent jump in revenue to R4.65 billion for the year to September. The firm, owned by Tiger Brands, Brimstone Investment Corporation and Khula Trust, said its canned fish business had performed well with a turnaround in the fishmeal operation. The division was the main contributor to the rise in profit. Operating profit grew 29 percent to R663.1 million, while profit to ordinary shareholders rose 33 percent to R443.8m. Local fishing conditions off the coast were poor during the second half. Catch volumes fell while labour and fuel costs rose, increasing the cost per ton of fish caught, the firm said. Abnormal items consisted of an administrative penalty paid to the Competition Commission (R34.7m) and impairment of the Glenryck trademark in the UK (R13.2 m). Headline earnings a share grew 37 percent to 445.7c. The dividend surged 37 percent to R3.01 a share for the year. Shares gained 1.67 percent to close at R61. – Asha Speckman

Storefronts are being painted or pressure washed and crosswalks touched up along Broughton Street in preparation for filming live action scenes for the animated "SpongeBob SquarePants 2" movie scheduled to begin Oct. 9 in downtown Savannah.
"They're trying to make it look like it's right at the seaside," said Jay Self, director of the city of Savannah film office.
The changes are temporary, Self said, with all buildings scheduled to be restored to their original colors after filming is complete.
The SpongeBob film will be the second featuring the Nickelodeon cable network favorite. The first SpongeBob movie, released in 2004, grossed more than $140 million.

Politics has become Red Sox vs Yankees/
By Bill Kerig
Although I've followed every up, down and sideways move of this historic presidential campaign, I'm sad to say now, at the end of all the ugliness, it's all Red Sox vs Yankees.
Let me explain. I grew up in Boston and went to opening day at Fenway every spring, for all of my formative years. And if there were two things that the drunks in the bleachers and the swells in the seats behind the plate had in common they were: love of the Sox and hatred of the Yankees. And why not, we all consumed a steady diet of The Boston Globe and the Boston Herald, WSBK and WBZ. Any baseball player in pinstripes was surely the spawn of Satan.
Over the years I've moved a dozen times, lived all over the country, and in truth don't even follow baseball any more. I now get my news from many, many sources, and have subscriptions to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. I haven't read The Globe in eons. Yet I still have Red Sox hats in the closet, and I still instinctively hate the Yankees.
So you might think that you could talk me out of my Sox loyalty. You could tell me that the Sox cheat in the game, and on their taxes, and on their wives, and I might voice criticism, and maybe I'd even leave the hat in the closet for a few years, but I'd never, ever, start wearing a Yankees hat.
And you know what? It's absolutely all right. It's good, and it's cool, and it's fun because it's a game! Joe Giradi might stack the line up, but he's not going to staff the Supreme Court or push the nuclear button or change the tax code. David Ortiz might crank a grand slam over the green monster, but he's not going to build a wall between nations or blow up NATO. The same is not true for the future president of the United States.
Blind loyalty is fun in sports; at the end of the day, watching sports is just a way to pass time. It's fun, it's harmless, and it gives Dads and their sons a way to talk to each other. But mirroring the same unthinking fealty to a political party, regardless of how terrible its candidates are is NOT a game. Who becomes the president of the United States of America really, really matters. Yet it's treated just like Red Sox vs Yankees. And that is a loser for everyone.

Sometimes I wish I had more talent in drawing or sculpting or even in knitting. I am terrible at following patterns and even after many attempts, I am hopeless at socks. Turning heels? I just don't get it. And worse than that I am reluctant to take the time to either figure it out or have someone more knowledgeable explain it to me. I dig in my heels.
But writing writing writing all the time…
The act of writing already takes a scary amount of focus. I don't know about you but I become a little obsessive. All I think about is the book I am working on. And for the most part it is a lovely feeling. Like being naked and fully submerged in warm waters, cradled by the movement of the waves. You don't even realize you haven't taken a breath for hours, until someone (usually it's one of my children or someone at the door or on the phone) pulls you up by your hair. I love living in my books.
But I do think it might be a good idea to do something else as well. Something creative. Find another outlet for when writing is not going well, or feeling a little stale. A way to recharge, look at things in a different creative way, project outward rather than inward.
We certainly need distractions in our lives. It can't all be mental. If there was no actual life being lived (from the mediocre to the sublime) we'd have nothing to write about. And if we didn't interact with normal everyday people we'd run out of characters. I only have so many facets of my own personality to draw on.;)
I used to paint. I was never very good but I had ideas. Now I would take it up again but I feel as if I've used up all my ideas in my books.
I knit. But there's a limit to how many mittens, hats, baby clothes, smallish sweaters, and scarves I want to make. Plus I can only knit in the winter (and although it is hanging on like a very scared cat), winter is almost done for the year.
I take photos. And it's something I enjoy a lot. I'm an observer by nature in any case. I like to look and notice and admire and marvel. I trip over my feet, my nose skyward or grazing the ground. There are striped caterpillars on the trail right now, making their ponderous way along the leftover ice and in imminent danger of being stepped on. I pick each up and move it to someplace safe. Surely another sign of spring?
There is something that feels like cheating with digital cameras though. I am certainly capable of taking a bad picture (many bad pictures) but I can just delete it on the spot. I can focus in a heartbeat. I can enhance and brighten and sharpen and frame it in the blink of an eye and I can toss the ones that cannot be saved with effects into my virtual trashcan. It's so easy. Not like writing at all. Or using an old Nikon and inhaling toxic fumes in the darkroom.
Or working with oil paints.(I used to suck on the end of my brush which no doubt caused all kinds of interesting changes in my brain).
There is no danger or risk in it. It feels almost temporary. Check out Instagram. There are a lot of people taking some damn good photographs. When you're inundated with so much that is above average good, it starts to blend together. It loses the punch. You think, well MyopicOwl sure knows her way around the camera, but does it make you want to keep looking or do you think, "well I'm done now" and file the information away with all the other information we collect during the day.
Or maybe I am only capable of taking perfectly good, average photos, that move with the herd but don't poke their heads up often.
I want to do something that matters as much to me as writing does. That I will work hard at. That will fill my life with something meaningful when I need some breathing space.
But maybe writing fills all but a tiny space, and maybe I need that space, merely to slow down and breathe. And flood my eyes and senses with everything else that is in the world. Perhaps that is living artfully and it is enough.

Here's something I see pretty commonly with folks that come into the training studio, frustrated with the results they are getting from their fitness program.
They lose a bunch of weight, on some kind of diet and exercise regime … only to find themselves right back to where they started a few short months later.
Has this ever happened to you?
A big reason this happens is because the average diet shuts down your metabolism. It slows your calorie burning down and puts your body into starvation mode. A body in starvation mode, stops burning fat and looks for every opportunity to store body fat.
As soon as you stop your restrictive diet and start eating normally again, your body quickly shuttles those calories into your body fat until you end up back where you started.
Good news is, this "dieting nightmare" CAN be avoided. Make sure your diet doesn't include any of these 3 dieting pit-falls!
1 – Prolonged Low Calories
Your body is an amazing machine that will respond to any consistent message you are giving it, by putting you in the best position to survive. The amount of calories you are eating on a daily basis will effect your metabolic rate or the amount of calories your body burns on a daily basis. Going long periods with low calories will lead to your body down-regulating your metabolism and putting the brakes on fat burning. This is all done in an effort to prevent you from starvation.
The Solution: Allow for some higher calorie days at strategic intervals during your diet phase. This will avoid the dreaded "Starvation Mode" as it sends the message that there is an abundance of calories available and there is no fear of starvation.
2 – Low Protein
Lean muscle tissue is the biggest regulator of your metabolic rate. The more muscle you have the more calories (and fat) you will burn in a day/week/month. It is critically important that you preserve muscle mass to keep your metabolic rate high.
The problem is that many diets lead to not only fat loss but also significant lean muscle tissue loss. As you come off your diet with less muscle, your metabolism has slowed and you will quickly put weight back on as you resume a normal eating plan.
The Solution: Protein is the main building block of muscle tissue. Your fat loss diet needs to have optimal levels of protein to prevent muscle loss. And when your calories are low, protein requirements are higher. A simple rule of thumb – (although probably on the high side, it keeps it simple, and still works great) is to shoot for a daily protein intake of 1 gram per pound of body weight.
3 – No Strategy to Transition from the Diet back to Real Life
No matter the diet if you immediately jump back into a higher calorie eating plan you are bound to gain weight back. Your metabolism needs some time to adjust and get used to your new levels of low body fat.
The Solution: A successful diet plan will include a strategy to slowly get you back to a normal healthy eating plan without a rebound weight gain. Beyond that your diet plan should also provide a blueprint for your new "Lean Lifestyle" etc.
To sum up, if you're looking to lose body fat, and KEEP it off, avoid the three "dieters pitfalls" outlined in this article. These three strategies are key to your long – term success!!
Thanks, enjoy your weekend, and talk soon -

Today we're going to introduce you to something a bit different. We're going to incorporate the beloved potato into a pizza recipe. I'm sure you're going to love this.
Before we get started, first a few words about the beloved potato.
The history of the potato has its roots in the beautiful Andes Mountains of South America. It is an austere region that is marked by fluctuating temperatures and relatively poor soil conditions.
It's quite amazing that the tough and durable potato evolved in the thin air (elevations up to 15,000 feet) of this region. The potato is tough, just like like the people who first settled the region.
The tough pre-Columbian farmers first discovered and cultivated the potato some 7,000 years ago. They were impressed by the ruggedness, storage quality and its nutritional value of the potato.
Western man did not come in contact with the potato until as late as 1537 when the Conquistadors tramped through Peru. And it was even later, about 1570, that the first potato made its way across the Atlantic to make a start in the soil of Europe.
Though the tuber was productive and hardy, the Spanish didn't initially recognize these qualitites and put it to very limited use. In the Spanish Colonies potatoes were considered food for the underclasses; when brought to the Old World they would be used primarily to feed hospital inmates. Wow…the potato has surely evolved since those days.
It would take three decades for the potato to spread to the rest of Europe. Even so the potato was cultivated primarily as a curiosity by amateur botanists. Resistance was due to ingrained eating habits. The potato's popularity was somewhat hampered by it's reputation as a food for the underprivileged and perhaps most importantly its relationship to poisonous plants.
That was then, but this is now and I'm going to show you how we're going to incorporate the beloved potato into a pizza dish that you can enjoy whenever you like.
Let's get started shall we…
What you're going to need…
* 1 pound ground beef
* 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (or you can use potato halves)
* 1 med. onion (sliced thin)
* 1 can Cheddar cheese soup
* 1 soup can milk
* 1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1/2 teaspoon oregano
* 1/2 teaspoon sugar
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 6 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
* 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Easy Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Cook ground beef in skillet until it loses redness. Place potatoes and onions in buttered 9×13″ pan. Add meat to mixture. Mix cheese soup and milk until smooth and add to meat and potatoes; mix together.
Combine tomato sauce, salt, pepper, oregano and sugar. Pour sauce over the top, but do not mix. Dot with butter. Cover pan with foil. Bake at 375 F for 1 hour.
Remove cover and arrange sliced cheese on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Return to oven, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until cheese bubbles.
There you have it, ni9ce and easy and more importantly super deliciuos. I hope you enjoy adding a pizza twist to one of our favorite foods… the potato.

New Chair of the Coach Tourism Association Ltd
Denise Bridges, managing director of Albatross Travel, has been elected Chair of the Coach Tourism Association Limited. Denise, the first woman to hold the office of chair in its 26 years, succeeds Sean Taggart, who stepped down as chairman after 10 years in the role at the CTA AGM at the Best Western Plus Windmill Village Hotel, Coventry, earlier in June.
The appointment was made at the first meeting of the newly elected Board of the CTA when directors unanimously chose Denise to take on the role. "It is a great honour for me to be appointed the first woman Chair of the CTA," said Denise. "In my new role I look forward to very much maintaining the Association as the successful organisation that it has become and continuing its focus to promote coach holidays to the consumer and as the leading industry body for the coach tourism industry.
"My extensive background in both hotels and attractions is going to stand me in good stead. I am keen to support the operator members by promoting the Hotel Charter and intend to implement a similar scheme for attractions, making it easier for operators to choose. Having spent over 30 years in the travel and tourism industry I will bring a fresh viewpoint from the perspective of multiple sectors across the industry. It is a new role that I shall relish quite independently of my day to day position with Albatross Travel."
Re-elected as Vice Chair is Jane Duffelen of Shaws Coaches with Steve Lee of Anderson Travel re-elected as Treasurer. With Denise they will all serve three year terms as officers.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Harry strutted on stage in the banana suit and the pics are amazing - look at Hazza's little head poking through the costume's face hole. It's like we're dreaming but the pics prove it actually happened.
We're still hoping some amazing fan captured video of the whole thing because frankly we can't get enough. In fact, we'd love it if the guys could dress up in fruit costumes at every show: we're thinking Nialler in a grape outfit, Liam as an apple, Zayn sporting a pear suit, and Louis as a strawberry.
Update: Now there's video of Harry as a dancing banana, OMG.
Whatcha think?
