Where Saratoga Ave. meets the ocean is also homeless hangout

YAY! The burm is down in OB!! We get to hear and look at the beautiful ocean again!
hey sunny, doesn't it feel like summer is right around the corner? Oh yeah, it is!!
Everyone in OB has been talking about who the man was on the boogie board who surfers rescued on Sunday at North OB. Looks like they know who it is now. Maybe he had left his car in the beach parking lot & when it wasn't moved for some length of time, they figured it belonged to him?
during farmers market last night i visited the new theater on Newport Ave (in the hallway toward the former VFW). as soon as i can get my dropped jaw to close I'll tell you about it. it was AMAZING!!!!!! watch for the film festival at frequencyfilmfestival.com
That theatre IS amazing! I saw a play there a few months ago, and during our Street Fair in June, I saw a band play in there. It is jaw dropping! Looks like you stepped into a theatre in Moracco, right?
the ambiance is so enrapturing ! I would love to throw a private birthday party (or perhaps an unbirthday party) there.
Gale promotes some rockin' shows around OB, gotta ck them out!
Leonard Poma – who started "Poma's" on Bacon Street – passed last Wednesday, March 6th. Leonard was only 62 and passed after a long battle with cancer. His son Nicholas now runs Pomas. RIP Leonard. We sure love your sammies!!
shortly after the lifeguard tower received "improvements" & an intended new statue there is now fencing around the property at Abbott & Saratoga that INCLUDES the public easeway to the beach. Did the deal include selling us out of our public land?
you may think, "it's only a few yards" or "what's the big deal?" It may not seem like much to encroach on public land for private profit. Yet, think about the frog placed in room temp water. turning the heat up slowly and you will have frog legs for dinner.
We, the community of OB, need to take a stand for our public land. we will not go quietly into the night...
I think that is all part of the plan to tear down and build condos at those properties on the corner of Saratoga and Abbott. And they are also tearing down the old Hodad's building still standing there. Not sure if that is what you are talking about SOBG. Weird that it's including a public easement. I need to go check that out. Bring it up at the next planning board mtg if you like.
do you happen to know who is that District's Planning Board Member now that the elections have closed?
Just met a cool guy, Gregg Sullivan, a local surfer, that opened a new biz here in OB called, Gregg's Art & Surf Co. He's got some great artwork on the walls and on surfboards too, some clothing and even some munchies, He's having an art exhibition on March 29th. He's talking about having surf films nights and doing some events all featuring local artists. and musicians too. He's at 4827 Voltaire St. 619-523-4754. Come check it out, very OB.
Mayor Filner showed up at the Ocean Beach Historical Society's Annual Wisteria Garden Party and presented President Pat James with with a Proclamation, claiming it to be OB Historical Society Day. It was a fun filled day with live music, raffles, auctions and good food and good people.

We have a new police captain in SD, Capt, Andy Mills.I haven't met him yet, but some local friends have. He walked a beat with these same locals and 6 other cops and wants this town to be safe as we do.
At the suggestion of the VP of the OBMA, Julie Klein, and I'm sure many others, Capt. Mills has promised to put some cops on the street walking a beat here. This is what we need. Especially plainclothes ones.
We love this town who live here, and we want to keep on making it better for locals and tourists alike.
Please come to the next OB Citizen's Patrol Meeting. Your input is valued. We will meet in May, more details to follow.
Anyone heard something lately from the Town Council on what they're doing with the entryway sign? They covered it up quite a while ago: http://instagram.com/p/YN-V78l2QT/ and said it needed to be either refurbished or replaced due to wood damage...then they released 5 different ideas for what to do: http://www.obtowncouncil.org/ob-entry-sign-finalists
Their website said that council members would get to vote on a new design between April 1-8...curious as to what was chosen and hoping it's not that metal/concrete-looking monstrosity.
You're right Dave...thought I'd hear about it by now. And I was just at the OB Main Street Assoc offices, I could have asked them. I'll look into it.
People, PLEASE slow down on our streets. There was a fatal accident last night on West Point Loma Blvd, just west of Bacon. Head on. Neighbors say peeps are always speeding down that street. AND she wasn't wearing a seat belt. 32 yrs old, so sad.
This is OBChuck. I discovered an excellent hike/walk recently for those in the 92107. This works best on a low tide! I recommend good walking shoes as there are a couple of tricky parts and a camera or camera phone as well. Start at OB Pier by the stairs and walk south (to the left as facing the sea) along the reef. Continue south along the reef as far as you can.
There are some amazing semi-secret beaches and coves to check out, too. At some point take the stairs up the street, and stay as close to the water as possible. You may end up walking down an alley, just follow the bike route during this part. Eventually work your way to Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and make a right turn.
Continue south on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. You will go past a gas station on the left and a small restaurant on the right . Continue on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard until you reach Sunset Cliffs Natural Park..There are ports-potties in the Sunset Cliffs Natural Park (about a 35 minute on way walk or 70 minutes for the round trip.) .
This is actually related to one of the snippets I'm working up for our upcoming summer activities issue - watch for it in a few weeks! Also, watch out for slippery wet rocks, narrow trails at spots, and some unsavory activity in the few hundred yards immediately south of the pier (since the Prop D beach alcohol ban went into effect it seems SDPD has allowed a free-for-all zone down there to flourish).
Still, this is a great walk, one I frequently take with my daughter on our way home from school - she's got me beat pretty handily in our ongoing crab-spotting competition in the tide pools between the pier and the cove beaches at Santa Cruz...
Actually slipped on the wet rocks a few years ago. Beware. But it is a very cool walk, and is reasonably secluded.
New restaurant, Wonderland on Abbott & Santa Monica Aves (where Nick's By The Pier used to be) has been hiring front and back of house all week. Tomorrow is last day, 10-5 pm. They plan to open in June. Beachfront!
If they can keep the cool vibe of Nick's and eliminate the stomach bugs/straw wrappers/loose hairs that always came out of the kitchen, color me excited.
Another rally today for Ian, who was fried from Sprouts...or Doubts as I'm now calling it! 6 pm, wear black in support!
Looking forward to this new resto opening next month where Nick's By The Pier used to be. Great sign!

Please, People of Ocean Beach and Visitors. DO NOT FEED THE WILDLIFE! This also includes dogs waiting for their owners outside a building. I can not tell you how many times I stop in to do my errands to find a well intended passer by swooping down to give my dog a treat. PLEASE DON'T TREAT A DOG UNLESS YOU ASK THE OWNER. As fast as I can hurry out to snatch it away they are gone or offended. These treats are usually harmful for my dog and he gets very very sick. (yes I have thought about making him a shirt or vest to ward off, but he is a dog, and he wont wear clothes for anybody) On one occasion a female was trying to feed him scrambled eggs from her breakfast on Newport, he was sick for a week out of both ends and almost needed vet assistance for hydration. If you are not educated about dogs, please keep your distance. I know they are cute, but they can also be dangerous to strangers and strangers can be a big danger to them. Also regarding dogs, if you see a YELLOW RIBBON anywhere on the leash or collar: DO NOT TOUCH! This color means the dog may be behaviorally aggressive in public situations. As for the 'other' wildlife being fed in OB please don't. It causes problems for business owners and patrons alike. Thank you!
Wow Kittycat, didn't know that about the yellow ribbon. Thanks for the info!! I also would never give any of animals any human food at all and just like a kid, you don't give them anything without asking their parents first!
Padre had the tastiest of treats on his beach walk the other day. The Grunions had their run and left all sorts of delicious eggs buried under the sand. He had the best time digging for them, munching down, and protecting his find from the other nosy dogs. It's good to know he has those awesome survival techniques just in case we ever really need to call upon them. The last run ended on Monday and was observation only, but the next run will be June 8-11, and is open season if you too would like a snack. Be sure to bring your dog down to dog beach in Ocean Beach during the Grunion season and utilize one of natures miracles.
Someone has seen a neighbor put these signs up so peeps won't get tickets on street sweeping day. How cool is this?!
Welcome summer at OB.. Street Fair this Saturday.. yea!
Been a resident for over 30 years. OB is the most "local centric" of any other beach in SD County that I know. If we could just get them to move that airport ;O)
Ok 76 Gas Station on the corner of Sunset Cliffs and WPL. Nothing like taking advantage of first day of summer and day before our big street fair by going up 15 cents overnight! Boooooo!!!!!
My partner, Alan, and I moved to Ocean Beach from New York a little over six months ago, and we have enjoyed every minute of our stay in this wonderful area of San Diego tremendously! Thanks to all the people who keep this neighborhood clean, quiet, safe and beautiful!
Thank you. Alan & I feel very welcome and very happy to be here.
With the Supreme Court Decisions made yesterday, Alan & I are one step closer to say: "I Do" in Ocean Beach. We feel really excited!
With the beautiful beach a few steps from our house, Ocean Beach is the best place to be -- any day! Alan DeValle
If OB aint da chillest Beach spot in SD Then i just dont know where is... Dog Beach is where you'll find me...;)
This is one of the best known landmarks in Ocean Beach. And this T-shirt depicts it very well. I Want ONE Of Them! Alan DeValle
Anyone can fit into Ocean Beach coculture! Very free; anything goes.
Well, it is Monday, July 1st, 2013 and guess what? Alan & I GOT MARRIED first thing in the morning. It was a very happy event. Everybody who walked by congratulated us and were sincerely happy for us -- Aaah what a great feeling! Afterwards we went to celebrate to our favorite eatery, Old Townhouse in Ocean Beach, and we got our breakfast complimented by the owner of the restaurant and we were given two mimosas to celebrate. Various people on the nearby tables also congratulated us. What a Country the USA is; so free and so ready to share their happiness. Love you back San Diego. Love you back Ocean Beach. Peter & Alan
Congrats Alan and Peter! Awesome!! Many more happy years together!!
Thank You, Mercy Barton. San Diego is the BEST place to get married. We were congratulated by so many people who didn't know us, they were all happy for us. San Diego really IS the BEST!
From James Gang video. WANTED: PUNK who thought it was cool to tag our building along with others in OB last Thursday. If you recognize this guy please let us know so we can bring some James Gang justice to OB!!
Even on a cloudy day, Ocean Beach is the most beautiful place to be.
OB has been my favorite place since 1962. In my opinion, it is the last great small beach town left on the west coast. I Love it here, I Love OB and I don't ever want to live any where else <3 XOxo~A
Are Californians too stupid for freedom? This is a very serious question. It seems those in California are willing to let go of their rights at a drop of a hat. The lack of organization, the excess of imposing on other people, the indoctrination and the complacency.... it's getting a little difficult to stick up for the people of this state. Once upon a time the Californian coast was sought after for being the place where freedom could live, the place where business could boom and inventions could take hold. Now we have to watch our step everywhere we go so that normal citizens aren't mistakenly turned into criminals. Instead of officers doing their job, we have changed the laws to accommodate the wishes of a few (no drinking on the beach, no smoking on the grass, no fires at the beach or in the beach home areas) little by little we are turning into a socialist community. And while I know that there are many in the town that love this idea, in the long run it is going to be bad, very very bad. we are literally steps away from having designated human routes in which if we were to veer off and 'harm' wildlife (step on grass) we would be subject to penalties. Please people open your eyes! Freedom isn't about what you can prevent, it's about what you can create. I think everyone needs to think about this and what freedom is just a little bit more.
I am VERY open to continuing this conversation and getting insight from others in the neighborhood.
You make some very valid points kittycat. We are becoming more and more of a regulated society. Some laws seem like they are good for us, others seems quite intrusive. I've heard that California has more laws, rules and regulations than most other states. Do you find this to be true?
I (Peter) have been away frm "Holler" since July 24rt due to surgery on the brain. The doctors removrd a benign tumor from the top of my head. I'm home now and Alan is taking excelene care of me -- he is an unfatigable angel, and I am very grateful for his lve and support. I am extremelly w eak on the side of my body i am typing with my feft hand until I get directiond fron a Phis. Therapist. That's my story. I'll post again as soon as I can do it with more ease.
Peter, best wishes for a rapid recovery. I post frequently on the La Mesa Holler page and visit the pages for other neighborhoods. I enjoy your posts and the perspectives of newcomers to the area. When you're better, you and Alan should visit La Mesa http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/la-mesa/holler/ Liz
Peter, strongest wishes for a rapid recovery...sending healing vibes your way! Yay for the great hubby!!
First a big Thank You from Alan & me for all your well wishes througout my ordeal: my third brain tumor removed from my brain in the past 5 years. Surgery on July 24th, 3 days in the hospital after surgery, 11 days at home, 2 falls and an ankle twist latter and I found myself back for another 3 days in the hospital. But with my biggest and best Angel by my side, Alan Treviño DeValle (as he's called since the day we married, July 1st, 2013 -- and I am called Peter Treviño DeValle) it's been a rather easy ride.
Nice and caring friends like you have been essential for my recuperation and I am so grateful for all your friendships.
Thank you for all your well wishes and your love and care.
Alan & Peter on our first outing to the Ocean on August 8th, 2013.
Faboo gentlemen! So great to see you up and around! Keep on healing!!
Ocean Beach is such a great small town area with the feeling of a big modern town... Well almost. Alan (the taller guy in the picture) & I like the variety of shops and events that are along and on either side of Newport Ave. but we miss a few shops, i.e. a bookstore, a fully supplied market, a small movie house, like "The Strand" where they would show one or two new movies, an office supply store, a linen store where you can buy pillows and sheets and towels, etc. Plus a few other stores I can't remember at the moment. The OB Town Council, the Ocean Beach Mainstreet Association, the OB Planning Board, plus a few other organizations are very good at keeping OB in very good shape, perhaps these, and other, organizations could help bring some of these small businesses into the area and improve the life of the residents of such a rare Paradise.
We got our Reader Holler T-shirts and we, Alan (tall) & Peter (short) love them. We had to go to the Ocean Beach Pier gate to take our picture there. Thank you Reader and Stephen Marchesi for a great design that really represents Ocean Beach.
Why is the weather ALWAYS lousy on Labor Day?? I go to a party every year and it's always cold and overcast!
How come nobody ever mentions the beautiful sculpture in the parking lot at the end of Newport Ave: "King Neptune"? I find it fascinating!
After my brain surgery last July I am on Rehabilitation/Physical Therapy and I need a stationary bike to exercise myself back to walking. If you live in Ocean Beach of close enough and you have a stationary bike for free or at a very low cost, please contact me here by "Reply," or e-mail me at [email protected] I will really appreciate it. Thank You.
Today's walk to the Cliffs from Santa Cruz Ave. was, as always, a pleasure and a gorgeous view.
Hey neighbors, I've found a surprising number of Hawks fans in the area and we've been getting together to watch games. If you're interested, join this FB page for info on our get togethers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/60791667 Go Hawks! :)
A Big Thank You to the folks at the Reader for posting my comment in the magazine. And a Bigger Thank You to NM Drew from Normal Heights for answering so promptly. Thanks to them I started today with a 1/2 an hour of stationery bike exercise to help me gain my balance and strength on my legs to learn to walk again as I used to before a tumor was removed from my brain last July 24th. Thank You great and generous people; Alan, my husband, & I love you and you are forever in our hearts for your kindness. Peter
Please bring the "Holler" back to the opening page index. I thought it had been removed forever, but I e-mailed the "Reader" folks and they told me to look under "Neighborhoods." I did and it took me about 7 to 10 clicks, going back and forth, in over 10 minutes to find it.
Why not leave it in the index and we'll get there with ONE click of the mouse!?
Please! Peter
PS: WOW! I just tried to upload a picture with my post and, Guess what? I couldn't find the place to upload it. Why try to 'improve' something that was working perfectly? Please leave "HOLLER" the way it was.
Today, November 6, 2013, marks the 1st Anniversary of Alan & me living in Ocean Beach. And Oh, Boy! What a wonderful year has it been: new places, new climate, new people, new friends, new Ocean, new cliffs... and the Holler! Alan & I have been very happy in OB even I've been in and out of the hospital twice, but, thanks to the Reader and the generosity of Ms. Drew, a Reader reader, I am recuperating well and doing fine, and enjoying Ocean Beach more than ever. (I only wish the Holler would go back to the front page index... but... C'est la vie).
One of the best places Alan & I have found for comfort food or just plain comfort is the Old Townhouse Restaurant, on Newport, where this morning we had breakfast and took this picture with our favorite waitress, Chris, and our favorite helper Alfonso. Thanks to them our year in Ocean Beach has been twice as happy as it would have otherwise been.
We thank the Reader and the Reader readers for always being here to share our adventures in the new Wonderland. Peter & Alan
A beautiful view of "Pedro's Rock" and the Cliffs and houses behind it, as well as all the algae in front of it, in cove #1, that the tides brought in last night and this morning, Nov, 16, 2013. Water respect "Pedro's Rock" and roam all around it. The Cliffs always amaze me.
Yesterday was my birthday (Don't ask how many). My husband and I celebrated it with our friend Donna at out favorite eatery in Ocean Beach: the Old Townhouse Restaurant. We had a great breakfast.
On my birthday yesterday, Dec. 19, 2013, the sunset from the Santa Cruz Ave. cliffs' look out, was amazingly unique, cloudy, mysterious, elegant and, as always, beautiful.
To All the Reader's readers in all the Neighborhoods a Great, Great evening and a wonderful 2014 ! from the ever surprising Ocean Beach, just check the next two pictures:
Today (Jan. 21, 2014) has been a spectacular day in Ocean Beach -- and more to come for the rest of the week. Photos from a video provided by cutie Dan Haggerty (picture below) on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgi-dt...

Quik wok - fast and friendly in the city
Having a child with very plain tastes in food is tricky when eating out. Chefs and cafes just want to wow you with their combinations of flavours. Sylvia decided she wanted yellow noodles. I asked the young woman behind the counter. She was very accommodating and even made some suggestions. Sylvia turned up her nose at fried rice and spring rolls. I checked if they had any plain tofu. They didn't. Sylvia got a plate of boiled hokkien noodles and fried tofu. She ate quite a few noodles. Some days just having any food in her belly (that isn't chips or sugar) is an achievement.
As well as being child friendly, the place was very vegetarian friendly. Many of the dishes were available with a vegetarian version. I liked the above message on the wall, extolling the virtues of hawker food. These meals were indeed quick and cheap. I chose a vegetarian pad thai. The serving was huge, filled with vegetables, tofu and noodles - and delicious. It was exactly what I wanted. E was very happy with his lemon chicken too. Free tea was available and the smiles also came easily.
At the end of the meal, Sylvia was fascinated to look at this lucky cat (Maneki Neko) and the food in the bain marie. We really enjoyed our meal. It was just right for a quick meal on the run. I was pleased to discover another lunch place for our infrequent trips to the city. We will be back!

I remember my parents having similar trouble finding food for my younger brother to eat when out, when we were growing up. Chips were pretty much it! Sometimes pasta. The funny thing is, these days he eats anything and everything. So there's probably hope for Sylvia :)
It's always nice to discover a new option for eating out though, and one that offers free tea is good indeed.Thanks Lorraine - it is fascinating to see what sylvia likes and dislikes but she usually manages to eat something
Thanks Kari - my niece ate quite similar plain food to sylvia and now she eats really well - so I hope it this is just a phase (ans she eats better at home)
Thanks Chele
Thanks Ricki - there are times I don't feel comfortable enough to bring out my camera but I do try and take it with me when we go out and mostly manage to

Shockingly good news from Senior Center
The El Dorado Hills Rotary Club has teamed up with firefighters and a local CPR trainer to put an Automated External Defibrillator in the El Dorado Hills Senior Center.
The AED allows any laymen Good Samaritan to shock a heart attack victim back to life within the first critical three minutes, before paramedics arrive. The AED measures the victim's heart rhythms to confirm a shock is appropriate, orders everyone to stand back, then delivers life restoring voltage to the victim's chest.
Longtime El Dorado Hills Rotarian Cathy Statham owns and operates Heartline Safe, which provides CPR training and equipment. She discounted the AED and provided training on its use.
Former El Dorado Hills Fire Chief Brian Veerkamp, an active Rotarian (first in El Dorado Hills, now in Placerville), asked John Johnson, president of the local Firefighters Foundation, the charitable arm of the Firefighters Association, to help the Rotary Club of El Dorado Hills, led by Jeff England, fund the AED. Thursday, all that work paid off with the AED finding its place in the Senior Center.

Cost Cutting offsets more than 80 percent of a $48M Cut in State Support, but Financial Aid is increased
June 21, 2011
Concord, NH—The University System of New Hampshire (USNH) Board of Trustees approved a budget for the upcoming fiscal year that included significant cuts across the entire system to address very substantial reductions in state support. The state appropriations reductions total $48.4 million, of which more than 80 percent will be offset through expense savings. Despite the unprecedented budget challenges faced by this 48 percent reduction in support in a single year, the overall cost of attendance (i.e., the "sticker price" for all tuition and fees for a typical student living on campus) increases for in-state students will be held to 8.7 percent at the University of New Hampshire and 9.7 percent at Plymouth State University and Keene State College. The cost of attendance includes tuition, room, board, assessments and mandatory fees. The increase at Granite State College, which is a commuter college with no room and board, will be 5.8 percent.
"This will be the most challenging year in the history of the University System in light of the State's fiscal situation and resulting cuts in funding for public higher education. The presidents, the Board, and the staff have responded in a swift and effective manner to cut spending to address this shortfall, while minimizing the impact on students and their families as much as possible," said Board of Trustees Chair Ed Dupont. "Our challenges do not go away with the passage of this budget, however, as we face a challenge in year two of this biennium and into the future. We truly want to be a partner with the state in terms of providing a quality educational experience for the tens of thousands of students we serve each year that will positively impact workforce and economic development across the state. As a result, we plan to continue an active dialogue in Concord and across New Hampshire to demonstrate the value and importance of investing in public higher education."
At the meeting, the Board approved a $419 million operating budget for "education and general" purposes in fiscal year 2011-12. The budget includes the elimination of upwards of 200 positions, reductions in employee benefits, deferral of facility repairs and other capital investments, cost cutting across the campuses and use of substantial reserves.
Despite the 48 percent decrease in state funding, the USNH budget includes a 16 percent increase for financial aid. The neediest NH students continue to face escalating challenges to cover the cost of higher education in a very difficult economic climate, and more than 30 percent are currently eligible for the federal Pell grants program, which is based on family income. In response to the increased need, USNH will spend nearly $90 million for student financial aid next year. Over the past 10 years, USNH institutional grant/scholarship dollars for in-state undergraduate students has increased by more than five times.
For out-of-state students, who do not have their costs subsidized by the State, cost of attendance percentage increases will range from 3.6 percent to 4.1 percent in the coming year.
The following chart shows the total cost of attendance for in-state and out-of-state students at each of the four institutions for the 2011-12 academic year:
UNH | In-State | Out-of-State |
Tuition | $12,060 | $25,380 |
Fees/Room/Board* | $12,642 | $12,642 |
Total | $24,702 | $38,022 |
PSU | In-State | Out-of-State |
Tuition | $9,110 | $16,570 |
Fees/Room/Board* | $11,248 | $11,248 |
Total | $20,358 | $27,818 |
KSC | In-State | Out-of-State |

Arguably the most anticipated sequel on the GBA to date, Golden Sun: The Lost Age is a puzzler's dream. It takes the best aspects of the original Golden Sun and improves upon them - enemies are tougher, spells are more varied and unique, and the puzzles have been made considerably more difficult. It pushes the GBA to heights of graphic style not seen before now. The Lost Age also does a decent job of characterization and character development, a section which the original Golden Sun could have used a great deal of work. Of course, it's far from perfect, with a slow, near meaningless plot and unnecessary Djinn system.
Although the turn-based system is still basically the same as it was, small changes go some way towards refreshing a system so, er, well used. Combinations of different elemental Djinni now produce multi-elemental summons such as Eclipse and Charon. Also available are a host of new Djinni - a whopping 72. However, the whole Djinni system comes off as being an unnecessary appendix to a system that was already fairly complex. Most normal battles only last one or two rounds, the foes being easily dispatched by physical attacks and Psynergy, and in more serious battles, unleashing enough Djinni to summon anything very powerful is a serious mistake because of the stat losses unleashing a Djinn temporarily saddles the character with. The use of Djinni to implement a Class system was intriguing and quite original, but the designer's acceptance of such low difficulty in normal fights means the Djinni are almost useless in battle.
The inclusion of the four main characters from Golden Sun in addition to the four from The Lost Age must have posed something of a challenge for the designers. How does one have an eight person party in combat without overwhelming the player? Apparently taking a page from Final Fantasy X, characters can be switched in and out of battle almost at a whim. Control in general is very solid, with no part of the interface falling into insensibility. It would have been nice to separate the 'Confirm' and 'Menu' buttons, but that's the only real problem to be found.
With a composer like Motoi Sakuraba (Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean 3: 'Till the End of Time), Golden Sun had a real gem of a soundtrack. The Lost Age has an almost entirely new soundtrack, with a few choice tracks returning from the original. Standout tracks like the Gold Temple and Doom Dragon help set a sophisticated, energetic tone for The Lost Age. It's definitely a good idea to listen to The Lost Age through a pair of headphones, though - like the original, the GBA's little speaker just doesn't do justice for the work of this fine composer.
Points have to be given to Golden Sun: The Lost Age for a unique (if somewhat unnecessary) Djinn system, its solid feel, and entertaining music. However, nothing in The Lost Age is particularly original. From the traditional turn-based combat system to a number of age-old clichés embedded in the story, The Lost Age doesn't do anything really new.
Luckily, it does the old well. While the plot does contain a number of old clichés, its overall execution is such that the plot is quite enjoyable. There is a problem or two, however...the plot has a serious tendency to leave the player dangling with little or no direction as to where they should be heading. It also feels a little light in meaning and depth, and although I found the characters both very human and quite likable, I couldn't really find very much of a theme running through the plot. It did seem like one theme that wasn't quite followed through with enough was that of the huge part misunderstanding plays in human interaction. Misunderstanding and errors in translation play a big part in the side conflicts of The Lost Age, but nothing to do with the main one - Alex vs. Felix, and the proper use of Alchemy. Luckily, actual errors in Japanese-English translation are kept to a minimum, but in general, the plot could have used some work. It's an odd feeling coming from a game so deep in every other respect.
The challenging puzzles of Golden Sun: The Lost Age will find wide appeal. Gamers who liked the Lufia and Wild Arms series in particular will enjoy the combination of Psynergy tools and unique natural puzzles. However, despite the inclusion of a handful of mini games, there's not much reason to replay The Lost Age through more than once or twice.
The original Golden Sun was lauded for its advanced and realistic graphics, and The Lost Age pushes this even further. With some interesting new lighting and layering effects, The Lost Age pushes the GBA farther than it's ever been before. The graphics also have a serious style to them, cartoonish but not very, realistic but not really. From the earthy colors to the beautiful lighting effects, The Lost Age just oozes style and adult grace.
Aside from a few very tricky puzzles, the difficulty for Golden Sun: The Lost Age is Easy. Despite this, players will probably need an FAQ or a Player's Guide to get through it, due to the aforementioned lack of direction and puzzles that could stump Deep Blue. Its length isn't anything overly long, coming in at 35 to 45 hours.
Despite a plot mired in bizarre pacing and stagnating losses of direction, Golden Sun: The Lost Age manages to be a very deep and satisfying RPG, something the Game Boy Advance has been missing of late. An RPG with wide appeal and an ending almost as aggravating as Golden Sun's, The Lost Age is sure to please the current fan base and newcomers to the series alike. I desperately wanted Golden Sun: The Lost Age to be a truly great RPG, but I'll settle for the damn good one it is.

All eyes are on Capitol Hill's fiscal cliff negotiations and America continues to be held hostage. You can almost hear the countdown from the TV show "24". The last few weeks have not been pretty for the fiscal cliff negotiations, yet the stock market continues to be resilient in what could have easily been a major sell-off of hundreds of points. The failure of the market to go down on this horrific news leads makes me to believe that once a deal is in place, a strong rally will follow. However, both sides could use a wake-up call from Mr. Jack Bauer.
Given all the obstacles in the market's path, two positives stand out: First, over the last four to five years, over $500 billion has poured out of equity mutual funds, while over $1.2 trillion has flooded into bond funds. In the first 10 months of the year alone, investors poured $272 billion into bond funds, while liquidating almost $100 billion in equity funds. October marked the 17th time in the past 18 months of equity outflows and bond inflows, the highest since February.
The second is the continued sea of liquidity cast by Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve. This is a market fully addicted to continued Fed easing, and although this positive trend is definitely diminishing, it still has legs.
For the most part, investors remain fearful. The headline news only reinforces that fear: fiscal cliff, stubbornly high unemployment, sovereign debt problems in Europe, civil war in Syria, conflicts between Israel and Palestine, Iran seeking nuclear weapons, etc. It is no wonder they remain largely under-invested in stocks. Equity exposure is at historic lows. As I have said, markets don't crash when everybody expects them to, and right now, everybody expects them to. Any reversal of this trend would be massive.
The longer term picture is easy to forecast, however, as the demographic trends are crystal clear. As our 80 million baby boomers retire, they will be followed by only 65 million from generation "X" who earn half as much. When you add in the tax increases along with spending cuts, on top of these Baby Boomers aggressively saving for retirement and paying down their debts, you take huge swaths of money that might have been spent in America's malls out of circulation. This forces businesses to have less reason to borrow to expand their operations in a period of lukewarm economic growth. These issues are well discussed in my book, Facing Goliath - How to Triumph in the Dangerous Market Ahead, and it is critical that investors fully understand these concepts.
Investor Strategy
Once an announcement is made that the fiscal cliff has been avoided, stocks will surge. More aggressive investors should position themselves for a strong rally and buy high quality tech companies with a strong brand. These would include: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO), and VMware Inc. (NYSE:VMW). The funds with more diversification and less individual company risk are also the ones to buy, like the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY), PowerShares QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ), and iShares Russell 2000 (NYSEARCA:IWM). Commodities are still screaming buys with continued stimulus, such as Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE:GG), Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:ABX), SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD), Power Shares Double Gold (NYSEARCA:DGP), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSEARCA:GDX), Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE:NEM), Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (NYSE:FCX), plus Silver Wheaton Corp. (NYSE:SLW), ProShares Ultra Silver (NYSEARCA:AGQ), and Fortuna Silver Mines (NYSE:FSM).
As I mention above, things look a little more precarious for the longer term. I expect a sell-off and likely bear market sometime in 2013, and we will be transitioning to defensive bear market portfolios over the next few months. Naturally, investors cannot be passive just waiting for the sky to fall. They should focus on yield with MLPs, preferred stocks and especially real estate investment trusts known as REITs in the health care industry that will benefit from the aging baby boomers, as well as the higher risk mortgage REITs that are taking advantage of low interest rates. For example, HCP (NYSE:HCP) and Senior Housing Properties (NYSE:SNH) are the largest REITs focusing on healthcare real estate primarily for seniors. They provide retired living, hospital facilities, medical office buildings, and pay almost a 5% and 7% dividend, respectively. For mortgage REITs, look at Hatteras Financial (NYSE:HTS) and Annaly Capital (NYSE:NLY).

I wish I had pictures to show, but between the periods of waiting and running around, the thought of snapping shots slipped my mind. This is one of those days where a lot is happening, but can only really be said to be interesting to me.
Suffice to say: the writers whose trips I booked for Taboan all arrived safely. A few of them backed out at the last minute, but I already expected as much, and that number was actually lower than what I thought it would be.
Over the past few months, I've been corresponding with these folks. I fear that sometimes I might have come across as abrasive (not something I want to be as many of these writers are senior and venerable.) But for all that, it feels really good to finally get some faces to those names and email addresses.
And yeah, I can now go to any part of the Philippines and be assured of friends and acquaintances. That's a fine exchange to all this hard work.

The Look
It was a cold and wet autumn afternoon. As I was driving down Topeka Boulevard, I looked over and saw a woman in great distress. She was sitting under a tree dressed in only her nightgown. As her head bobbed up and down, she tried her best to stay upright. Regardless of her best efforts, she kept toppling over. As I pulled the car closer to see what I could do, I recognized that the woman was a former guest of the Topeka Rescue Mission.
Linda had suffered from chronic mental illness and alcohol abuse for as long as I had known her. On this particular day, she was extremely intoxicated, had lost control of her bodily functions and required immediate medical attention. I called for an ambulance. Within minutes she was transported to the hospital. As they drove away, I wondered if I would ever see Linda alive again. In the work of the rescue ministry, we strive to help people in many different ways. Sometimes that involves literally saving their lives but, unfortunately that is not always possible.
Two weeks after nearly dying under that tree, Linda had miraculously recovered and was being released from the hospital. Without finances or a home to return to, Linda came back to the Topeka Rescue Mission. I stood in the doorway of Linda's room at the Mission that morning and looked into the face of an individual whose eyes told the story of a long and challenging life. Without finances or a home to return to, Linda came back to the Topeka Rescue Mission. After several months, she completed a program designed to help her get back on her feet. She moved out of the Mission and into her new home. While I wish I could say I was more optimistic, my expectation was that I would see Linda again someday soon. I feared it would be either as a result of a return to homelessness or worse, a premature trip to the mortuary.
After a significant time had passed, I received a call from Linda asking to meet. A woman whom I barely recognized walked through my door the day of our meeting. The broken woman near death that I remembered and expected to see had changed. In front of me stood Linda; a vibrant and healthy woman. She had a sparkle in her eye and looked at least ten years younger than seemed possible for her near sixty years.
We briefly caught up and then Linda asked me if I remembered the last time we had visited. I recalled the visit I had made to her, after she was discharged from the hospital, but could not recall how long ago it had been. Citing the day, month and year, Linda smiled and told me that it had been ten years since that fateful day Ten years since we had last spoken.Ten years that she had now been sober.
She asked me if I recalled the details of our conversation that day. Working with so many individuals throughout the years, I had to admit that I could not recall. Linda surprised me when she admitted she could not remember the conversation either. "But," she said, "I remember the way that you looked." By now I was puzzled. Why did this woman who had changed so dramatically over the course of ten years choose to come to my office and inquire about a conversation that neither of us recalled? Linda interrupted my thoughts and said, "It was your look." She went on to say that she couldn't describe it but, as she was lying on her bed at death's doorstep, "the look you gave me told me that I was going to be okay.Since that day," she continued, "I have never had a craving for alcohol."
Linda said that she had come to thank me for what I had done that day so many years back. I knew I could not take any credit and told her to praise and thank the Lord for what He had done. She said that she had anddoes but, today she wanted to thank me. I attempted to redirect her once again and told her that it was the Lord working through the staff and volunteers at the Mission who really helped her. Politely interrupting me she continued, "Yes, but I'm here to thank you for the look that was on your face that day." I was confused. No one had ever made that kind of statement to me before.
Without hesitation, Linda then leaned forward in her chair and, with all sincerity, said, "I'm still smoking. Can you give me that look again?" I smiled and we both enjoyed a good laugh. Linda went on that day to share with me about what had happened over the past ten years of her life and of the remarkable recovery that was taking place. In addition to her sobriety, Linda had reunited with family and come to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
As I was driving home that night, I was reflecting on my day and talking to God. I can still remember asking Him about my meeting with Linda, "What was that all about?" Though I have never heard an audible voice of God, He spoke to my heart and told me that this was what He had been trying to tell me all along: "It is not up to you to solve all the problems of the people that I have put into your care. It is not up to you to bring in all of the provision of money, food and shelter. All I ask of you is that you remain faithful to what I have called you to do. I will then use whatever means I choose to provide for and heal those who are broken. I mighteven use a simple look on your face." I sat in awe at the revelation penetrating my heart. This was one of the most profound spiritual experiences I had ever experienced in my life. The enormity of the responsibilities of sheltering thousands, feeding hundreds of thousands, and encountering the brokenness of humanity on a daily basis is unbelievably overwhelming. My peace is His peace. It now comes from knowing that we have an incredibly loving Savior who desires not only to demonstrate His love through us, but also then accepts complete responsibility for the results. It'i not up to me, you or us.It is up to Him.
At the Topeka Rescue Mission, every day we encounter many people who are mentally and physically broken. Their problems and complicated lives are way beyond our ability to solve or fix. We work extensively with and are grateful for the professionals in the areas of medical, mental health and social services. However, collectively we fully recognize that the complex issues in the lives of those who come through our doors often require solutions way beyond all of our capabilities. Sometimes the challenges and problems are just too difficult to solve. It is in those times that we must rest in the confidence of our Heavenly Father and His love for us and for those who are afflicted. As we rest in Him and remain faithful to His call to the broken, we stand assured that we are not only ministering to those in need, but also serving Him as well.
"… I was sick and you visited Me…" (Matthew 25:36).
When the issues in the lives of people around us seem too complex and the problems too great, remember that the main thing God calls each of us to do is to simply reach out in love. It is when we are faithful in this call that we find the peace we seek, His peace, as we place our trust in the Lord to do the rest.
In Him,
Barry Feaker
Executive Director

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2 Beta
Red Hat came out with its own virtualization product at the end of 2009 and is now driving development of its Enterprise Virtualization for Servers.
The version 2.2 beta is available exclusively for customers. The U.S. Linux provider is basing the hypervisor on KVM technology and appending its virtualization solution with a variety of tools. The 2.2 release should increase maximum memory per VM from 64 GBytes to 256 GBytes. Virtual servers and desktops can also be managed from the same management platform. Import and export of VM images and templates can also be over the industry-standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF).
The hypervisor itself is based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 kernel, which means new hardware support. Red Hat mentions the Nehalem-EX CPU from Intel and AMD's Opteron 6000 series as examples.

As a catcher, Megan Cox knows she'll take many thankless lumps during any game or practice.
Hey, it beats being bored in the outfield.
Like most brave souls who man the catching backstop, Cox, a senior-to-be for Nazareth Academy's hugely successful softball program, ended up behind the plate because nobody volunteered to catch when she was a youngster.
She took to the position immediately, despite the bumps, bruises, bat thumps and deflected foul tips that serve as an often painful occupational hazard. One perk of being a catcher, according to Cox, is that you're always directly in the middle of the action.
"I started out in the outfield, but when you're little, nobody hits it out there," she said. "I was bored out there. Then I tried the infield, but I was kind of bored there, too. At the time, nobody really wanted to catch, so I decided to give it a try. I've loved it ever since."
Even with all of the punishment that it puts her body through?
"You definitely take a beating, and you always have bruises," she said with a laugh. "It's your job to make the pitcher look good, and also to protect the umpire, because if you don't, then you won't get the calls if they're the ones who keep getting hit. To catch, you've got to be fearless … and be ready to be really sore after a long game."
For Cox, the strategic challenges catching presents far outweigh taking a stray foul ball off the shoulder or foot. From her crouch, she gets to be the liaison between the mound and the dugout, relaying pitching signs and ensuring the team's defensive alignment is where it needs to be.
She also enjoys catching pitchers with different styles, as she did this past season. For example, the recently graduated Emily Shellenberger was armed with a deadly fastball, while incoming senior Taylor Lichtenhahn is a finesse pitcher who relies on movement and her offspeed pitches. Every pitch is different, meaning Cox has to be constantly adapting out on the field.
"You have to have communication skills, especially with your pitcher and the coaches," she said. "It takes a lot of work, but it's something we're always focusing on in practice so that we're ready for game situations. The catcher doesn't get the same amount of credit as a pitcher, but what I love is that while a catcher might not win you a game, they can definitely lose it. You have to have the mindset where you're ready for everything, especially playing at the level it takes to play for Nazareth."
The Panda softball program, led by head coach Bob Keating and assistants Ray Keough and Brian Kalesse, always seems to be one of the top ranked in the city each year. This past season, Nazareth topped all past teams, going 23-3 and embarking on the deepest postseason run in school history, advancing all the way to the state semifinals, where they lost to eventual champion Valley View, from the Scranton area.
Of course, Cox was right in the middle of it all. After serving as a backup her freshman season, she's been the starter the last two years, handling up to a half dozen pitchers in that time. Shellenberger was one of the most successful pitchers of the bunch, as she graduated with her fellow seniors having won 81 out of a possible 89 games the past four seasons.
It means that Cox must always be on her toes, and playing alongside such talented players keeps her sharp. And while she may not garner the headlines that some of her teammates have gotten, Cox's tireless work ethic hasn't gone unnoticed. She was awarded the Nazareth Coaches Award this past season.
"She's in a position with no glory," Kalesse said. "When you play on a good softball team, the pitcher or the player with the most hits tends to get the ink. She handled three different pitchers this season, all with different styles. Her job isn't as simple as just catching a ball thrown down the middle. If Meg couldn't handle all that her job entails, then Nazareth simply doesn't go that far in states. And even if she was sick, she still stayed in school just so she wouldn't let the team down. She sees the pitches better than anyone else, and more importantly, knows her pitchers better than anyone else."
Winning the award is not something Cox takes lightly.
"I can say I wasn't expecting it," she said. "It was a great honor given all the talented players we have. I think any one of them deserved that award, but it's nice to know my coaches saw how tremendously hard I've worked to get to where I am."
Though the 2014 season is still months away, Cox already can't wait to get started. She's looking forward to being a senior leader, and hopes that the remaining Nazareth roster can win the district title again, which would ensure the Pandas another shot at a state title.
This time around, they want to win the whole thing.
"Everybody expects us to win, including ourselves," Cox said. "If we don't, it will be a disappointment. I think if we all work on getting better, that we can get back and win."
Despite all the pressures of senior year, Cox is hoping to soak it all up, because she knows it will come and go in the blink of an eye. She's more than just a softball player at the school, too — last year she played on Nazareth's inaugural volleyball team; she's also a yearbook editor, and participates in community service, the International Club and the Chemistry Club.
Once she graduates, Cox would like to find a college where she can study forensic science, mainly because she "likes the mystery of it."
"I just hope it doesn't go by too fast, even though I know it probably will," she said. "Nazareth has had such a huge part of making me who I am. It really prepares you for whatever comes next. You meet friends who become your sisters, so it's kind of sad that you only get four years together.
"This year, we didn't want the season to end. I hope it's like that for senior year. I'm expecting it to be, and I wonder how I'll adjust to it, but at the end of the day I just want everyone here to know that I love them all so much." ••

I no. 9 december 1975 Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape Susan Brownmiller (Simon & Schuster; $10.95) In the beginning of her book, Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape, Susan Brownmiller states "Man's discovery that his genitalia could serve as a weapon to generate fear must rank as one of the most important discoveries of prehistoric times, along with the use of fire and the first crude stone axe." She goes on to document rape--its role in different cultures and civilizations (e.g. as a means of procuring a wife); a review of the psychological and sociological studies and theories accounting for rape; a profile of rape in our society. Brownmiller does pretend to approach the subject with the objectivity of a Martian observer, as is the usual practice in sociological studies. This )v is not another book about "women," it is a book about us, as Brownmiller emphasized throughout the book, by interjecting her own personal experiences and realizations. Her style is a refreshing change. It makes the book human and honest. V^^^ Many women will buy this book out of curiosity only to set it aside after a few pages, because it is immediately and throughout a frightening book, frightening in a very horrifying, personal way. This is because Brownmiller's main point is that rape is not a freakish, isolated crime of an oversexed pervert or a mentally distorted psycho against a foolish, unwary woman. Instead she convincingly argues that rape is "a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear." Before you decide unpleasantness is reason enough to avoid the book, consider that until we have the courage to understand, in all its overwhelming brutality, the phenomenon described by Brownmiller, we will have to take the first step 50* OUT OF STATE towards our own liberation. The problem must be confronted before it can be solved. Read this book, and through the rougher passages, hold a friend's hand and consider how much harder it would be to read it while living with a man. It is a book that will bring women together, first for comfort, and then to express and hopefully act on our anger and outrage and take some action on our own behalf. Brownmiller feels that the most often proposed course of action for women, i.e. more locks on the door, male escort after dark, initials in the phone book, etc., is an attempt to provide a private solution where there is none. While conceding that all people should be alert and on guard in potentially hazardous situations, she says that for women "to accept a special burden of self-protection is to reinforce the concept that women must live and move about in fear and can never expect to achieve the personal freedom, independence and self-assurance of men." One of the many changes in society she sees as necessary to eradicate rape is teaching women to fight back. Men have a psychological advantage in a physical confrontation with a woman because from childhood, men have been encouraged to fight. Little girls, however, learn to cry, plead, and look for a male protector. This imbalance has left women with a victim complex that must be overcome if women are to learn to defend themselves. Beyond strongly recommending self- defense courses for women, which is still on the level of a personal solution, Brownmiller points to deep-rooted and broad areas of our culture which need to be made over. Our fairy tales, television shows, movie idols, pornography, and newspaper stories all reinforce the violent, macho male stereotype which is epitomized in the rapist, and the submissive role of women. Rape is an outrage with a long history, and we need to think in terms of long-range solutions. For many people, this book will be a beginning. 1 Ellen and Barbara |

Veterans tame wolf-dogs at rescue center
LOS ANGELES (AP) It's been three months since a California animal rescue center retrieved 29 wolf-dogs from an Alaska tourist attraction that had fought the state over owning, breeding and selling the wolf-hybrids.
Chains were so deeply embedded in the necks of two of the animals that they had to be surgically removed.
Many developed limps because they'd never used the pads of their feet.
Now the task of taming the wolf-dogs has been given to three U.S. military veterans who say they can relate to the stress of trying to transition to a normal life. The program is called "Warriors and Wolves."
"I get along with the wolves," said one of the three, Stanley McDonald, a 10-year Navy vet who has been foreman of the Lockwood Animal Rescue Center in Frazier Park, about 75 miles northwest of Los Angeles, for 4 1/2 years.
McDonald said he knows what it is like to be homeless, alone and lost. "They've been in a bad situation, which I've been in most of my life. Most of them are afraid, taken away from the only thing they knew," he said.
"A great number of people are coming back from a combat environment and that's as stressful as can be. It's difficult to transition from that to civilian life," said William "Buzz" Varley, a Lockwood volunteer and retired Navy man who works for the California Department of Transportation.
The wolf-dogs are now thriving in small packs of two to six animals after joining 12 wolf-dogs already at the shelter, according to Lorin Lindner, who founded Lockwood with her husband, Navy veteran Matthew Simmons, in 2008.
Lindner said the wolf-dogs, who normally travel up to 40 miles a day, had been tethered in Alaska. Once they had room to run at Lockwood, they went lame because their muscles were not acclimated to the exercise.
"It's taken three months, but we are just now noticing them running without limps," Lindner said.
The animals are fed high-priced, high-quality kibble made of buffalo, venison and game birds, in addition to five to 10 pounds of meat each day. As part of a landfill diversion program, markets in the area give the rescue group their expired meats "so we are not killing any additional animals to feed the wolf-dogs," Lindner said.
In Alaska, they had been fed raw moosemeat to keep them looking good so tourists could get close enough to the animals to take their pictures for a $5 fee.
Before the wolf-dogs arrived, Lindner and Simmons were running the sanctuary on $10,700 a month. But with the new arrivals, that's jumped to $15,500 a month, including salaries for the three veterans. To help pay the bills, Lindner and Simmons are inviting supporters of the sanctuary to volunteer, donate or sponsor a veteran or a wolf-dog or plant a fruit tree (it helps feed birds) in honor of a loved one.
Lindner, Simmons, the vets and volunteers built enclosures for the animals on their 20-acre sanctuary. Standing 10 feet tall, the enclosures include dig guards that are buried 5 feet deep.
Because some of the animals have bad hips and arthritis, Simmons is building soft-webbed trundle beds so they can sleep off the ground. They've put out a plea to firehouses since old fire hose makes the best webbing.
Lindner's veterinarian took the sickest wolf-dog (she has another hybrid) and four of the animals have gone to other rescues.
Eight others will be placed with other sanctuaries if those centers can build the proper enclosures.
Besides the wolf-dogs, Lockwood has four rescued horses, 16 parrots, six peacocks and a duck. "We rescued 33 koi fish from a house that was in foreclosure. My husband made a 200,000-gallon pond and now we have thousands of fish," Lindner said.
Lindner and Simmons also built a parrot sanctuary at the Greater Los Angeles Veteran's Administration Healthcare System complex, where Lindner worked as clinical director of New Directions, a program serving homeless veterans with drug or alcohol problems.
McDonald, 48, is the wolf program's biggest booster. He says he has been an alcoholic since he was 18. He spent 10 years in the Navy and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. "I wasn't a mean or angry drunk," he said. "I would just take everything we had to buy alcohol."
Lindner met McDonald at New Directions, before "Warriors and Wolves." McDonald says he's learned from the animals and knew if he could help them, he could help himself. "I made a wonderful change," he said.
Since working with the animals, he's begun reconciling with his ex-wife and reconnected with a son, now 19, whom he'd lost touch with. His son didn't trust him at first, McDonald said.
"It took some work by both of us. It took a lot of forgiving," said McDonald. "I'm back with my family doing things I love to do."

I love meatballs and I love my slow cookers. Combine the two for a fabulous slow cooker meatball dinner that comes together in a few minutes and then cooks while you do other important things. Add rice and a vegetable for an easy and quick dinner.
I am a big fan of keeping a bag of frozen meatballs in my freezer at all times because they are so versatile. You can use them with pasta, of course, but you can also make things like slow cooker barbecue meatballs or in soup like Italian Wedding Soup or Meatball Minetsrone. These fabulous meatball sandwiches from Brandie at Homecooking Memories look amazing, too. Most of the time I don't even need to defrost the meatballs so if I forget about dinner – we have meatballs!
I will admit though that making meatballs is not exactly my favorite kitchen task and I can't wait until my kids are old enough so I can delegate meatball making to them. So in order to avoid having to make meatballs a lot, I usually make up a huge batch – like 5 pounds worth of ground beef. When making that large of a batch, I bake the meatballs in the oven at around 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the tops are nice and brown. I throw them in freezer bags in 1 pound allotments and I'm set for a good 3-5 meals.
I use a Hamilton Beach Programmable Slow Cooker to make a big batch of pineapple meatballs. But I've also made them in a smaller Crock Pot Slow Cooker especially if I'm making them as an appetizer. You want to make sure your slow cooker is roughly 2/3 full for the best cooking results and adjust your slow cooker as such.
Slow cooker pineapple meatballs are another delicious and easy way to make a quick meatball themed meal. I loved the sweetness of the dish paired with rice and a little soy sauce. These would also be great as side dish or appetizer for a buffet or even the Super Bowl!
- 1 batch homemade meatballs , cooked (or 1 pound store bought)
- 1 20 oz can crushed pineapple
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons arrowroot powder or corn starch
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
- Chopped carrots, onions or green peppers (optional)
- Put meatballs and any vegetables in a 2 quart slow cooker.
- In a bowl, mix together pineapple, sugar, vinegar, corn starch and soy sauce.
- Pour sauce over meatballs.
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours.
- Remove lid and allow to cook for another 30 minutes (this helps the sauce thicken a bit).
- Serve over rice.

Very tasty — thank you!
Nice easy recipe.
Oh yum. That does look good!
I have a lot of frozen pineapples I bought on sale and I have been looking for a recipe to use them. This looks yummy! I think I will make these this weekend. Crossing fingers my Step Son will love them, since he doesn't usually like warm fruit.
Oh my….David would LOVE these! Thanks for sharing them and for mentioning my meatball sandwiches!
This really sounds great and I intend to try it this weekend. Do you drain the Pineapple before mixing the other ingredients? Thanks; will let you know how they come out. Angelo

PSU SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply CPU Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) SSD Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe MOBO ASRock Z77 Extreme4 GPU SAPPHIRE 100352-2L Radeon HD 7950 RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB Sorry for the crappy cell pics, better than nothing! HEATSINK COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO MONITOR ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" PICS COMING SOON
Never skimp on a good PSU, it is one part that doesn't have to be replaced in time. I would also go with 16GB of ram. It is pretty cheap these days, and will take care of you for a while. Also, unless you are a mac user and only look at things surface-deep, I would look into a non-glossy monitor.
I was looking into 16g but from my research 8g is enough. Ill probably add another 8 in time its not too big of a deal
OHHHHHH HELL NO!! Some silver and gold rated PSUs are in reality worse than bronze rated one. A sticker on a PSU does not mean that a PSU is good. To know if a PSU is good you should read reviews. If you can't read reviews (like at a shop), take a known brand and verify the weight. A light PSU is an empty PSU . BTW, the SeaSonic M12II 620 is a very good PSU. PS: I really like the SSD chosen.
You mean reviews where they send the reviewer cherry picked caps and the consumer version is vastly different?
Well, yes. If all reviewers PSUs are cherry picked caps, we can still see which PSU is better than others...
IMO dual rail is not a problem since a dual rail PSU can be very good and the majority of PSU are dual rail so... There is also single rail PSU that sux so anyways...
Here's a good deal on this PSU SeaSonic SS-660XP 660W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS PLA... Dunno your budget though

Koban Kato is a high school student with no friends, family, or social presence. However, he does have the ability to "teleport" by suddenly vanishing whenever he's not being noticed by people around him. In addition to this skill being inherently insulting to Koban, it's also relatively useless because it strips him of all his clothes.
One day, Koban uses his ability after being kicked out of his house and meets a woman named Sheena who also has no place to live. Sheena is quite impressed with Koban's teleporting, and quickly devises a plan to put it to good use. Soon, their antics cause the town to start believing there's a kappa on the loose.

Journal Journal: More info from Nissan LEAF Tour 1
Nissan's national tour of their new electric vehicle offering, the LEAF, recently completed its last stop at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey. Nissan representatives were on hand answering questions about the car and their plans to bring it to market, and I was able to collect a lot of good information which the Slashdot community might find interesting and useful. Below is a fact-dense summary of everything I was able to tease out of them.

"Love doesn't walk away, people do."
Michaela D.
"I think nostalgia takes over when we think about people we once loved, and we tend to pick out all of the good parts. I could very easily sit here and say I still think about the one that got away, but the truth of the matter is that he didn't get away, he walked away...and I'm the girl he walked away from."
Joy Maniscalco
"The quickest way to find love is to give love. If you want it too badly, you will not find it. The most secure way to keep love is to give it space and care to grow. If you hold it too tightly, you will lose it."
Leif Ericsson Leo Veness
"I can't let you go, I worked so hard for you I can't just let someone else enjoy my hard work"
Deicy Zuleica Gonzalez
"Girls look at me up and down and have nothing to say. But its funny how the words come out when i walk away."
"When nothing is left from love, you pass the back of your hand over your eyes and walk away... There was nothing..."
Mariana Fulger
"When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over"
