Hurricane Sandy left many memorable images along the East Coast that included changed or displaced lives, ruined businesses, and miles of damaged beaches, docks, and private waterfronts. One image that illustrated the power of the October storm was of the abandoned oil tanker John B. Caddell after she ran aground on Front Street on Staten Island's north shore. After a distinguished career with the United States Navy during World War II, and as a commercial vessel after the war, she was sold at auction on June 6, 2013, for $25,000 to be dismantled and used for scrap and recyclable metal.
This 185-foot-long, 72-year-old tanker was one of two remaining American made coastal oil tankers left in the United States. She was built in 1941, by RTC Shipbuilding in Camden, New Jersey, and named after the owner of the Caddell Dry Dock company on Staten Island. She was acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1942 and commissioned as yard oiler YO-140. She served from 1942 to 1946, fueling war ships. After WWII, she returned to commercial service under her original name and spent over six decades sailing the waterways of New York's metropolitan area, delivering heating oil and gasoline. A Nigerian group purchased her in 2009 with the intention of having her sail to Africa, but the U. S. Coast Guard felt the ship wouldn't be able to make the voyage. The oil tanker was abandoned after that and remained moored at a Staten Island pier until October 29, 2012, when tides from Sandy pushed the ship up on land.
Before this unclaimed shipwreck could be auctioned, the city conducted a detailed search for the latest owners. When they could not be found, the issue went before a New York State Supreme Court Justice, Philip G. Minardo, who declared the oil tanker John B. Caddell abandoned. He then instructed the city sheriff to set a minimum bid of $25,000. Proceeds would be used to pay for storage, advertising, and sheriff's costs. Any money left after expenses would be put in an escrow account for one year, after which it would go into the city's general treasury. This sheriff's auction was based on a New York State Navigation Law which took effect July 1st, 1941. The only company that placed a bid was the Donjon Marine Co. Inc., based in New Jersey. They offered the minimum of $25,000. The dismantling will begin around June 20th and will take place over a period of two months.
A team of ship historians visited the tanker on the day of the auction to film and take photos for a documentary about the tanker. They were also there to see about salvaging parts for future use on the only other coastal oil tanker in the United States, Mary A. Whalen, built in 1938 and undergoing restoration. She has already been a venue for several arts events and programs related to maritime history. In addition, she serves as the headquarters for the nonprofit PortSide New York, in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, under the direction of Carolina Salguero. Not only would the proposed documentary tell the story of John B. Caddell, but would also help tell the story of Mary A. Whalen.

Go for flowers that are in season.
Don't be all set with a certain type of flower or with a certain type of setting that you would like to get for the wedding day. For example, peonies are almost never in season. They are almost always imported from somewhere else and this is why they can cost triple or even quadruple the cost of roses in general. Knowing this ahead of time will save you from so much pain and even financial burdens further down the road and this is something that you ought to go ahead and take into account as much as you possibly can. You can go ahead and do a little bit of research about this especially when you have the time. On the other hand, you can also try to just go ahead and talk to your florist about this while you are at it. If you don't, you might end up with fewer blooms that are overpriced because they had to be ordered off from somewhere and most of the amount that you will be paying for will turn out to be labor and shipment fees which might cost so much more than the actual flowers alone. When you go for flowers that are in season during the time of the wedding, you get them in volume for a very minimal cost and this can turn out to make all of the difference in the world when it all comes down to it.
Go for wild wedding flowers. They are relatively for free. Most people or brides in general are quick to frown upon the thought of checking out wild flowers for the wedding but the truth of the matter is that wild wedding flowers can turn out to save you a whole lot of money at the end of the day. Wild flowers can be colourful and interesting and altogether full of substance and whimsy at the same time. If you are lucky or if you are nearby any open spaces, you get to actually play around with the possibility of picking out your own wedding flowers and getting them for free if they happen to be wild wedding flowers. They are for free and they are fairly natural so try to see if this is something that you can look into when it all comes down to it.
Pick a florist who is flexible with the rates.
There are a lot of florists out there in your local area but when you are picking yours out, what you need to go ahead and make sure of as much as possible is that your florist is someone who specializes in wedding setups in the first place. Look into what they have done in the past and try to see if this is something you can use for when you are picking someone out from a crowd of florists. Determine a budget and try to stick to that no matter what happens.
Go for more greens and larger blooms.
They look just as nice without costing you as much. A great florist can work this out for you. Plus, green can be really refreshing on the eyes and this is what you can leverage on for your wedding flowers.

Why do we bother to create a positive customer service experience?
All buying habits are psychological in nature. Sure, people need or want to buy something because of the product, but where they buy and if they return are based on their customer service experience during and after the transaction. We want to be able to control the loyalty of our customers. So how does that happen?
Excellent customer service LEADS TO Customer Satisfaction, which ultimately drives loyalty, sales, and the bottom line.
You probably remember a time when you experienced good customer service. That is because every customer service experience is just that - an experience. I could give you a textbook definition of customer service, but you would likely forget it and just remember an experience you had and how it made you feel. The good news is that you can control the experiences your customers have and therefore create a positive one that will likely bring them back. Remember ALL customer experiences are experiences. Even the good, the bad, the ugly, and the neutral. Let's explore a little.
Bad-Bad experiences are really just experiences that are below the expectations the customer had when they walked in, but still may be somewhat acceptable. This happens when only a small portion of the experience goes awry. You may not lose the customer for good, but for them to return there will need to be another factor to draw them in, possibly location, or more likely price. Really bad experiences will cost you that customer and will damage your reputation. In the world of Social Media, this is disastrous. People have on average 230 friends on Facebook alone and if they post something about you, you're done.
Ugly- The difference between BAD and UGLY is that in BAD, there is no real attempt by the company to rectify the situation. In an UGLY experience, you will not see this person again unless you are able to rectify the situation and make it right. This however, does not guarantee the return of the customer, it might save your reputation in the sphere of the customer and they may refrain from telling all their friends about their poor experience. An ugly experience, if handled properly, may end up turning into a great experience if the customer is open. You won't know until it is all over.
Neutral-This is a very dangerous experience because the business will never know if the customer had a good enough experience to make them come back. A neutral experience is what the customer expected or it was satisfactory. This will not win you loyal customers. If you do not create a compelling reason for them to return, there is a good chance that next time they will go somewhere based on another factor, maybe location or price. Neutral experiences are damaging because there is no added value to their experience that will make you stand out over your competition.
Good-people may or may not share their experiences, but you have created an experience that their subconscious will remember the next time they need or want to buy something you offer. There will need to be a compelling reason for them to not return. Good, positive experiences even allow for small future mistakes.
What memorable customer experiences have you had? How did they affect your future buying decisions.
As mentioned in my podcast, communication is the real driving factor behind customer service and satisfaction. Tune in to hear the rest of the discussion and visit Leap Year Marketing or Marketing Mojo Radio Facebook pages to tell us about your own experiences.

Mr. X has a pattern of seizures leading up to the tragic May crash. This is not the first time Mr. X seized while driving. Weeks earlier Mr. X, crashed his car in a parking lot after seizing.
Mr. X has a driver's license on May 29, 2010 because he lied to his neurologist conceding the timing scope and nature of the seizures. He did so he could keep his driving privileges. Richard Rizk represented the decedent's injured father. The case settled late October 2013

Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," USA Today Washington bureau chief Susan Page, said of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump that the Republican presidential nomination was his to lose.
Partial transcript as follows:
DICKERSON: And we're back with our panel. Susan Page is the Washington bureau chief for USA Today, Ron Brownstein is senior editor at The Atlantic, Reihan Salam is the editor of The National Review and also a policy fellow at the National Review Institute, and Mark Leibovich is the chief national correspondent for The New York Times magazine.
I want to start with you Susan. Donald Trump insulted George W. Bush. He got booed at two consecutive debates, got into a fight with the Pope was in a fight with Ted Cruz for a month back and forth and he still won South Carolina. Is this — is it? Is that it? Is he going to get the nomination?
SUSAN PAGE, USA TODAY: I think history is on his side. You wouldn't want to say that its point that it's his — it's — you wouldn't want to say that he's won it, but I think the nomination is now his to lose and we can't figure out a way in which he would manage to lose it given the things he's done that haven't even cost him. You know, he won South Carolina by ten points. He won New Hampshire by nearly 20 points. No Republican has ever won both those contests and failed to then get the nomination. And two of the three who did that won the White House.
DICKERSON: Right.
RON BROWNSTEIN, "THE ATLANTIC": You know, I would say, as I — as I've said since the fall, I think the Republican race can still be summarized in two sentences, Donald Trump has consolidated the blue collar wing of the party and the white collar wing of the party remains fragmented. He won in South Carolina an incredible 42 percent of Republican voters without a college education. Exactly the same number as he had in New Hampshire, and as much as Rubio and Cruz combined. He's less imposing among college educated Republicans. He was only at 25 percent among them. He was only low 20s in Iowa as well. But the problem — Cruz and Rubio have kind of a mirror image problem. Cruz's coalition is to narrow, overly dependent on evangelicals, and Rubio is too shallow. He's got a little bit of everything, but he's not dominant anywhere. And until one of them shows that they can broaden more effectively, you'd have to agree, Trump is in the driver's seat.

I hope that they will take in what we try to help them learn. I have definitely learned to trust and rely on my leaders on this mission of mine.
Anywho, this week was a good one. We were able to go to sister chan s house and teach them how to make cookies while we talked about baptism interview questions. then we just prayed and prayed all week for her. She is so ready and so cute :) love her.
what else happened? hmmm we found and taught some more. all my days and weeks are morphing together i don't really remember what happened this week. I went on some exchanges and OH i went to MLC with president and sister hawks :) it is the leadership training meeting. and guess what... sister hawks made enchiladas!!!!!! REALLY SHE DID! i almost cried :) and then president Hawks talked to us about something that i thought was really cool. He was talking about missionaries going home and about how people always tell them, "awe don't worry about it la. You will do well with adjusting back into the world. Out of the missionary life and back into the real life." then president hawks said, "why draw back?". this is the best time of your life. the most righteous you have ever been. The best at keeping commandments and listening to the spirit! WHY DRAW BACK!? why would you ever just go back to what and who you were? why would you want to? isn't your mission supposed to CHANGE you? well i love that so much! i am not going to just come back and fall back into the world. I want to stay where I am an keep on progressing. Yeah, things will change. I can listen to music and watch movies again and that kind of stuff, but I am not drawing back. ever.
Dad, i hope you can think back on your mission and really think about where and how far you have come. You are such an amazing example to me and I know that your mission changed you.
and mom, just listening to your testimony growing up and reading your testimony now has strengthened mine so much.
please mom and dad, don't draw back! keep moving forward and keep progressing to the celestial kingdom. I will do my best and think about the eternal family that we will have later on.
I love you all so much. keep it up. Don't quit. Remember the reason for the season, and keep on keeping on.

What do you think if you are boarding a bus driven by a lady? You feel the fear? The insecurity? Doubtful and unconfident?
I can tell you, you can just forget about the above feeling. Just sit back and relax! Women can also do the job as good as men! Trust me!
As I told you previously about my trip to Bintulu (Click here to read), on my way back, I was boarding a bus that's driven by a lady driver. I was shocked when I first saw her. I thought she was a bus conductor when she first walked into the bus. But then she walked to the bus driver seat, wear the driver uniform, then start the bus engine. At that moment, I still a bit doubt if she is really the driver. But when she sat onto the driver seat and reversed the bus, I knew and confirmed she is the one. She is the one that would drive me from Bintulu to Sibu.
I was anxious, anxious about how good her driving skills is. As there were only 3 passengers including me in the bus, I moved from 2nd row seat to the 1st row, the one just behind the bus driver. I wanted to see how good this lady can control this big vehicle.
Surprisingly she did a great job! I could see her seated steadily while controling the big round bus steering. I like her style, she was driving with full confidence! I tried to observe how good is her overtaking skills on the small and narrow 2-way road (bear in mind, this is Sarawak, no highway even it's a long distance journey). She was doing extremely well in overtaking. She sounded the horn lightly twice everytime she tried to overtake the car in front of her to signal and alert them. I think this is a good practice in driving.
Her driving speed is not too rude, just like a typical man's driver speed. I forgot to take a look at the speed meter. Should be around 80-100km/h.
One thing I have to mention, about her attitude towards her job. As we all know, bus driver usually pick up passengers along the journey to the destination. She also did the same thing. There were 2 passengers boarded the bus in Selangau. So, as usual, she collected the money, then issued 2 tickets to them. Most of the bus drivers didn't do so. They will just collect the money without issuing tickets. So you all know where the money goes to. Of course masuk poket sendiri la.. (into their own pocket). Her honesty should become an example to follow.
When the bus reached the bus terminal at about 1.30pm, she parked the bus with care. When walked down the bus, I was thinking to say thank you and told her how great she is. But I am a shy guy, so didn't have the courage to do so. But in my heart, I thanked her with full admiration.
I salute her for her courage, her attitude towards job and her driving ethics. She had prove to us that a woman can do men's job as good as men or sometimes even better than them!
Oh ya, forgot to mention, I think she is a chinese because I heard she talked mandarin and some foochow too...

What do you think about March Madness? Exciting, isn't it? Do you dream about playing college basketball? Can you imagine what it feel like to actually be a March Madness Player? Take a second, think about your team gathering around for the tournament bracket annoucements, wonder which region your team will be chosen to play in, what will that arena be like, will the rims be loose or tight, will you have your best game ever, will you be so nervous that the sweat from your fingers doesn't allow a good grip on the ball?
Is this something that would interest you? Is this something that you want to be a part of? There are many steps you can take to dramatically increase your chances of playing collegiate basketball and getting a basketball recruiting scholarship. To be successful, you must take control of this process and you must learn how to maximize your chances of obtaining the athletic scholarship you are seeking.
Today, the recruiting process is highly sophisticated; and, in most cases, demands that student/athletes know how to market themselves. Many well-intentioned coaches, parents, and high school guidance counselors, who are advising student-athletes today, do not understand the steps in the recruiting process.
Experts agree that the most prized commodity in the "game" of athletic recruiting is information. College coaches and prospective college athletes both succeed or fail by information or the lack of information. Athletes need to know where they can receive a scholarship, and how to go about getting one; college coaches need to know about athletes who will best fit their programs.
As a student athlete, you can help your chances of "winning" an athletic scholarship by following the Top 10 Tips listed below.
1) Demonstrate superior athletic ability----You don't have to be an absolute superstar, but you must have talent.
2) Get in the best physical condition you possibly can. Obtain a great conditioning program and STICK WITH IT. Playing at your optimal potential is only possible when you are in top physical form.
3) Become a student of the game. Know your position inside and out.
4) Become fundamentally sound. Work on your shooting hand mechanics, free throws, jump shots, dribbling, etc.. as often as possible.
5) In the off-season stay focused on your strength training and vertical jump and you will see drastic improvement.
6) Learn about the mental game of basketball and how it impacts your success.
7) Play pick-up games as often as possible and vary your pick-up game competition as much as possible.
8) Get and keep yourself eligible by passing the required academic courses with a satisfactory GPA. Score the required entrance score on the SAT or ACT.
9) Conduct yourself in a manner that calls positive attention to yourself. Coaches shy away from possible problem athletes who might bring negative attention and disgrace to their programs.
10) Undoubtedly, it is imperative to learn how to promote yourself to college coaches.
The sooner a college coach knows about you, the better your chances are of getting a scholarship.

Welcome to the second issue of Found. This week I have not spent anywhere near as much time traveling the web. I have been absorbed in reading Patrick Holford's Optimum Nutrition Bible, this has been causing many gasps and moments of astonishment - better than a crime novel! I finally took the time to check out the you tube channel of a friend of mine (admittedly initially at his house), but the work is so beautiful - I keep taking guests hostage and playing clips for them, so to break the habit I share the address with you. Then I capped the week off with a day of learning more about whole-foods with the Koanga Gardens class on Nutrient Dense Food incluing Weston A. Price's practices of fermentation.
Therefore, this week the global world of wellness, whole-food and inspiration is a pleasure to share with you.
Patrick Holford's New Optimum Nutrition Bible. (wellness)
I have been so inspired by this man I have added him to my "Health Heroes" list on Twitter! This book is amazing, it explains the intricacies of health, eating and living well in a way that is easy to understand, but certainly not dumbed down. There is no skimping on research paper references, pictures, diagrams and analogies. If you have a body that you want to run at the OPTIMUM - feel brilliant and bursting, then this is a great book. It may make strange bedtime reading to anyone else, but Patrick Holford has a secure place on my bedside table.
You Tube Channel: mozely1 (inspirational)
This is 5 short clips, kids on skateboards, a guy with a camera, a great song or two. Simple, serene and stylish, produced solely for pleasure and inspiration. I watched this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIfr1HOyeu0 with an 8 year old friend of mine who was propped up at my kitchen bench this week. We both felt compelled to watch the lot. Enjoy..
Koanga Gardens Nutrient Dense Food Workshop (whole-food)
I have to admit I need to do some reading on Weston A Price. I can share with you that he was a dents from Ohio who in the 1930's began the research into the cultural and community differences in diet. He specialized in communities that had been untouched by civilization and many of his theories are very influential in healthy eating practices now. His book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration" is a record of his study, although I can not personally recommend the book at this stage I can recommend the day course that I attended at Koanga. The following link will take you to their course information page (they are located just North of Auckland in Kaiwaka).

Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute to them, few of them willed or determined by the will --whatever we may think......Lawrence Durrell
Come Sunday and I was out on a one day trek to Rajgad Fort situated approx 45 kms from Pune. Saving on the efforts to type an epic on this mighty fort in my own words, wikipedia makes the job easier and you can read about Rajgad HERE.
Getting back to the trip, I was supposed to leave at 5 in the morning, got up late and finally rolled out at 9.30.
Reached the base village and started the trek at 1 in the noon and the sun was sapping every bit of energy. Was carrying Glucon-D and Electral dissolved solution to counter the fatigue. The way I was getting tired taking halts every 10 mins
The view getting better with altitude.
Once I got to the rocky sections- it was easier and with the shade of the mountain- it was a lot less tiring. I thought it would take me 4 hours to get on top- but in the the end I was there in 2 hours 15 mins.
Localites on their return.
Entrance to the Chor Darwaza was fun- though it was surprising.
An absolute cracker of a Fort and stands true to its name RAJGAD- the spread of the this mighty structure is simply mind-boggling.
So here started my site seeing starting off with the Padmavati Talao.
The Samadhi of Sayeebai- the first wife of Shri Shivaji Maharaj.
The Padmavati temple- its more of a place for an overnight halt.
The Sadar (meeting hall) and the Talghar (underground room).
One of the best and thrilling experiences was making my way down to the Gunjanwan Darwaza. The path was covered with tall grass and shrubs giving me a scare of a snake-bite, plus the stunning silence was too much for my liking- was thrilled to the core.
And here comes the best sight of the trek...the view from Chilkhati Buruj...felt like I was on the Great Wall of China.
The Mahadarwaza, Balle Killa and the view from the top were icing on the cake.
Rajgad Deepotsav organised by a trekker group from Pune.
As it usually happens I got late on departure- the Pune trekker group mentioned they too would be trekking down. Assured by their words I waited back to click their pics and that was the biggest mistake. Their descend was only till Padmavati Machi and not to the base village. Feeling disgusted I started hurrying and by the time I even reached the exit, the sun had gone down.
Got through the difficult sections as fast I could, but after that it was a nightmare- I could see nothing, absolutely nothing. Was walking purely on judgment- stones and pebbles under my feet meant I was on the right track- a grassy section and I knew I went off the way- had numerous falls and crashes on the way- my every 3rd or 4th step was a fall, never crashed so much on my bike in 6 years. Reached a small hut kind of a hotel on the way and asked a localite to help me reach the village- he was not at all ready to do so. Got frustrated and just carried on walking as I had till there, but this time I got tensed- I knew I had landed in trouble and stopped walking. The hotel was at least a saving grace- didnt want to land up where I could neither reach the village and nor the hotel. Returned back and luckily there was a group returning and best part equipped with a torch. Joined them and in 15 mins I was at the base village. Resolved never to trek without a torch.
My watch had stopped working in the crashing process so didnt have an idea as to what time I started riding back- reached home at 1.30 in the night- but not before coming across a couple of terrible accidents on the way.
My route and distance: Mira Road-Thane-Panvel-Khopoli-Lonavla-Pune-Nasrapur-Gunjavne and back: 486 kms.
Minus the injuries- it was one of the best treks I had. Memorable enough to go back to the mighty Rajgad, and this time I'll be basking in the warmth of the sunrise next morning.
HERE is the complete set of pics clicked through my mobile phone.

Tick Tock ..Tick Tock ..... It's Christmas!!
The month of december, even though cold or freezing, there is a warmth that it brings in with it. That warmth is that of the rendezvous with the entire family , friends and neighbors . It is almost such that hard work and studies, and every stress that you undergo in your day to day life can take a back set. This time or moment is for you to sit back and relax with friends and family. There are christmas gift shopping which most people during black friday due to the great sales that retail stores offer and then there is cyber Monday's . There is so much around you ,to put a smile on your friends and family's faces.
Let's put a smile on that face!
25th December marks a joyous day for many to celebrate christmas. Many families keep the christmas spirit alive by decorating their houses by some really nice festive lights and decorations, for many passer by to witness such a beauty and to make their day beautiful and special. It really is a day to "share" and to "forgive , once you forgive someone it is much easier for you to share the true self with others and in return making you feel good . So, go on buy some gifts , wrap them nicely, there are many innovative and cool presents one can buy online or go to the mall for some great deals. If you are a guy like me who is not great at wrapping persents, no worries! you can still get it wrapped by going to mall or places where they have salvation army " gift wrapping tables" , for that you can gonate some charity for a good a cause and in return you can get your presents wrapped. Now that's what I call a win win offer.
Many students who are in college and are struggling with finances and have too much going on to find presents, wrap and be around their families physically, don't worry;we all go through those phases and it's totally normal. At this point all you need to do is give a call, Skype or face time and just let your loved ones know that you are there for them and you care . It's not the gift or what you do for anyone that really counts but your intentions. So, honesty is the best policy just share your self with honesty and your family and friends will recognize that and appreciate you for doing that.

Tasmania's premier Will Hodgman has committed his Liberal government to run its full four-year term, ruling out an early election.
Voters in the island state are due to go to the polls in March 2018 but there has been growing talk of a trip to the ballot boxes a year early amid Mr Hodgman's steady approval ratings and a change in the Labor opposition leader.
"We're committed to delivering our plan, delivering four years of government. We've never wanted anyone to expect an early election because I think it's the last thing anyone would want. The election is due next year, that's when we plan to hold the election," the premier told ABC radio on Friday.

May 25, 2012 – According to The Lane Report, Kentucky will take part in a $90 million civil lawsuit in the United States District Court against Healthpoint, Ltd. Healthpoint allegedly sold Xenaderm, considered to be a "less than effective" drug, to nursing homes to treat patients with bedsores.
Kentucky is one of 13 states involved in the lawsuit, claiming that Healthpoint caused Medicaid to pay for the drug, even though it was ineligible for coverage. Medicaid paid $90 million in claims for the drug, with the state of Kentucky paying more than $1 million alone. Kentucky regulations prevent it from being covered because it is classified as "less than effective" by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Healthpoint also allegedly illegally marketed Xenaderm to nursing homes, claiming it was Medicaid-eligible.
Bedsores may be considered nursing home abuse. In addition, forcing nursing home residents to take unnecessary or ineffective drugs may be considered nursing home abuse. If you or a loved one has suffered from nursing home abuse or neglect, you may have a valid case. Get help from Louisville nursing home abuse attorney firm Gray & White. They are highly knowledgeable of Kentucky nursing home laws. Contact them today at 1-502-210-8942.

Troubles in the U.S. subprime mortgages spilled over into the credit market earlier this year sapping liquidity and pushing major central banks to intervene to keep the wheels of the global economy running smoothly.
The DJ STOXX banking sector index ended the year nearly 17 percent lower -- its worst performance since 2002.

In fact, he's quite the opposite. Haunted by a crippling shyness and the tragic events of his past, Levi spends his days with his head buried in his books, or training hard for his college football team. Too timid to talk to girls, Levi stays as far away as possible and completely on his own… until he saves the life of a troubled pretty blonde, a troubled pretty blonde that might just be the exception to his rule.

How did you know the way I make maps?
Just take my overlord map for example. It started out as me trying to make a circle, then I was like "I think I'll make a base here". Then I was gonna make it a multiplayer map and put another base on the other side, but since I really couldn't be bothered I had to think of something different to do, so in the meantime I made a base in the middle, then I added some trees and grass for fun, then I finally decided that the player would control only one unit, and I slowly built up from there
Ablast3 wrote:I have an Idea. It would be pretty hard to do but we could try a Percy Jackson & The Olympians: Battle For New York City. For any of you guys who have read the books i know its not any of the books but for people who have never heard of this... The Battle For New York City is when Percy and Friends defend New York City from the many monsters attacking. As the game progresses it would follow the same story line from the book. This would be an awesome group project because this is in modern day and as we pass it along we would get many buildings and ideas. This would be a long shot but together it could be one of the best single player scenarios.
P.S.Read the Percy Jackson books. The Battle for New York is in the last one.
P.S.S. Percy Jackson kicks Harry Potters but.

The hand holding the flaming hook of Maui's Adventures
The snowy pick of Victory from Nepal
A destructive army of souls trying to escape
The sound of the pacific island drums banging in my ear
I will put into the box …
The unlucky tribe of humans living in a cursed valley
A loud scream of war from a sacred tapa
The sight of victory after completing that impossible phrase.
As my first steps on this earth.
I will put into the box …
A platinum statue without a name
The taste of death sprinting to the infinity
A sense of false hope from a gruesome ring
The bright red & white patterned flag of the majestic flag of tonga.
My box is fashioned from Time and Space and the infinite, with a chocolate zombie on the lid and the infinite stars of our universe in the corners.
Its hinges are torn apart like the heart of break ups
I shall lock the nightmare and dreams of billions in my box

Ricoh WG-M2 action camera
Ricoh WG-M2 heavy-duty action camera :
Breathtaking 4K resolution, with four times more pixels than the Full HD video format. Ricoh proudly presents the WG-M2 heavy-duty action camera. The Ricoh WG-M2's 4K video format assures astonishingly high-resolution movies at 3840 x 2160 pixels - twice more pixels horizontally and vertically than the Full HD format (1920 x 1080 pixels). The robust action camera records thrilling experiences in spectacular, vibrant and crisp clear movies. The Ricoh WG-M2 action camera also offers Full HD 60p and HD 120p movie formats, allowing you to effortlessly capture beautiful, flawless movies of fast-action sports and lively pets.
Ricoh 4K action camera
The Ricoh WG-M2 action cam records movies at the amazingly high rate of approximately 100 megabits per second. Recording movies at this average bit rate of approximately 100Mbps provides more image data to each frame, allowing you to produce beautiful, exciting and lively works of art. The camera signals the start and end of movie recording by camera body vibrations, eliminating the worry of missed recording opportunities. The WG-M2's Movie SR (Shake Reduction) function minimizes camera shake when recording a movie on the move. It allows you to capture sharp, blur-free movies even under demanding, blur-prone conditions. Thanks to its heavy-duty, housing-free design and wind suppression mode, the WG-M2 records crystal-clear sound even outdoors. The 4k action camera also records stereo sound to recreate the true-to-life ambience of memorable scenes.
Waterproof action camera
Despite its compact design, the 4K action camera is shockproof against a fall from two meters, freeze-proof against temperatures down to -10°C, and waterproof to a depth of 20 meters without a housing. It also provides simplified operation and the recording of crystal-clear stereo sound. The WG-M2's new underwater white-balance mode faithfully reproduces the clear, vibrant atmosphere of underwater scenes, by eliminating reddish casts in shallows waters near the surface or bluish and greenish casts in deep waters around the depth of 15 meters. Waterproof performance equivalent to IPX8 or JIS Class 8; Dustproof performance equivalent to IP6X or JIS Class 6; Shockproof performance measured under Ricoh original testing standards (from a height of two meters, onto a surface of 5cm-thick plywood), conforming to Method 516.5-Shock of the MIL-Standard 810F.
Ricoh WG-M2 features
• High-resolution 4K/30p movie, 100Mbps high bit rate
• 204° Ultra-wide lens, F2.0 Bright lens, A wide ISO-sensitivity range

Smartphone app
The Ricoh WG-M2 action cam provides the choice of metering systems: multi-segment or spot. When spot metering is selected, the camera's AE (Auto Exposure) system is locked at the start of a shooting session to stabilize the exposure level throughout the recording, regardless of the fluctuations in the illumination level of surrounding areas. The Ricoh action camera provides a range of creative Image Effect modes, such as Monochrome, Shading, Bleach Bypass, Bold Monochrome, and High Contrast. Apply the desired visual effect to movie recording for greater flexibility of creative expression. By installing this dedicated app in your smartphone or tablet computer, you can control movie and still-image recording operation from a distance, transfer captured movies / images to your mobile device, play back saved movies/images on the device's monitor, and even upload favorite content to social networking and other websites.

It is not often that I get out of a spanking, nor do I usually try to. This time however, if I hadn't gotten out of it I was going to be one hurting little girl.
My husband very recently got his CDL. He has always worked around trucks, but he was never able to drive them until now. So congratulations to my husband for graduating truck driving school ❤ Anyways, once he graduated he immediately wanted to start looking for a new job. So we took a few copies of his resume and went riding around to a few well-known trucking jobs. He was putting the baby in the car so I had his resumes and once we got in the car I placed them in the middle. Once we got up the road a ways he realized where they were and yelled at me for "wrinkling them."
Normally I am pretty submissive and obedient, but every now and again I get competitive. Sometimes I just need to have the last word and WIN! I'm not sure why I get like this, and I should really know better because it never ends well for me, but this was one of those times. The resumes were not wrinkled, they really weren't, and his yelling about it pissed me off. I was going to even the score. I had a bad attitude from that moment on and I was looking for any reason to start a fight. I continued to ask him to bring me home because I didn't want to ride around with him while he was going to be an "ass hole." There I go with the name calling again.
Well I kept it up for a good 20 minutes and my husband was furious. He yelled at me, really yelled at me, and turned the car around. He told me he was going to bring me home to spank my ass raw and then he was going to continue his job search the next day by himself. I have never been that scared of a spanking. I knew if I let him spank me while he was that mad, he was going to hurt me. So I very quickly apologized and begged him to turn back around. I told him I would behave myself and he didn't have to spank me. After a few minutes of begging, he calmed down and we were able to continue his job search.
We really could have skipped all of that if I had just apologized for "wrinkling" his resumes in the first place, but no. . .I have to open my big mouth and start a fight. I don't know what goes on in my head sometimes. See why I need my husband to take control and punish me? Sometimes I am just a brat.
I am very lucky that I got out of it and I still haven't been spanked since. I don't think my luck will last though. We have been busy so he hasn't really had the time to spank me thoroughly, but we don't have much going on for the remainder of the weekend so I doubt I will get through it without a spanking. Why is it so hard to just behave?

|Today's hike was on the Beech Creek Trail near Tate City, GA in the edge of North Carolina. We did an out and back hike of about 6 miles.
HIKERS - John Bellamy, June Bellamy, Karen Brown, Chuck Crisp, Greta Driggers, Dan Euliss, Pam Euliss, Dave Hinson, Bill Hunt, Jack Jacobi, Deena Johns, Dick Metzgar, Bruce O'Connor, Jeanne O'Connor, Donna Presley, Tony Presley, Joe Raguckas, Dan Ross, Doug Russell, Lynne Saporito, Pom Sinnock, Bob Thomnpson, David Whitaker, Geri Whitaker, Carole Wintle and Jack Wintle.
TRAIL INFO. - The Beech Creek Trail is a beautiful trail in the southern edge of Western North Carolina. It is a much less traveled trail and could use some trail maintenance. The trail starts off with a steep climb for the first quarter mile or so. The trail follows closely along Beech creek and crosses the creek a couple of times requiring careful rock hopping to avoid getting wet feet. You will walk along the ridge of beautiful Beech Creek Gorge as you work your way up the back side of Big Scaly Mountain. The historic feature of the hike is the old abandoned Tate Corundum mine ore crusher/loader area. The mine was built in 1900. Hiking difficulty is rated strenuous due to elevation change.
Directions: Travel west on U.S. Highway 76 from Clayton, Georgia for 8 miles. Turn right on Persimmon Valley Road. Continue down Persimmon Valley Road to Tallulah River Road on the left which is marked with a sign. Take this beautiful drive up the Tallulah River all the way to Tate City, GA continuing past the NC state line. Look for the parking area on the left side of the road for the Beech Creek Trail. It is less than a mile from the end of the road.
Another great day for a hike! Cloudy, breezy, off and on drizzle. Temperatures ranged from the low to upper 40's F. Hiking distance - 6 miles.

BIRDS IDENTIFIED: Crow

Blazers fold
The Brandon Roy Game 4 miracle was the Blazers' finest moment -- but it was also the beginning of the end. Another lackluster game plan has sent them packing for the summer after a first-round exit. And with two more years of Coach Nate to look forward to, frankly there's no end of this in sight.
With that, it's time to start talking about "how well they did despite the injuries" and "if only Greg Oden were healthy." That will go on for another two years, too. Anyway, here's to the great moments that the Blazers gave us this year. They were wonderful, though not plentiful.

The researchers found that no genes in H7N9 were traceable to pigs, thus
excluding pigs as intermediate hosts for the deadly new strain of bird
flu, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Key Laboratory of Pathogenic
Microbiology and Immunology said on Wednesday.
According to the
researchers, the genetic reassortment is likely to have occurred in east
China's Yangtze River Delta areas covering Shanghai, Zhejiang and
Jiangsu. They found that a virus carried by wild birds from the Republic
of Korea and other east Asian regions mingled with the avian influenza
virus carried by ducks and chickens in the Yangtze River Delta during
The lab's research shows the H7 and N9 gene segments
in H7N9 are similar to those in avian influenza samples collected from
wild birds from east Asia, while the other six genes are traceable to
chickens in China's Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

Hi Linda,
My opponent's second shot landed on the green 15 yards away from the hole. My ball landed about 2 feet before the green but just about 8 yards away from the hole. Who will play his next stroke first? The "book" states that during play of hole, the ball farther from the hole is played first but my opponent insisted that since I'm still off the green, I should play first. Can you please clarify?
Thank you,
Lou from The Philippines
Dear Lou,
The ball farther from the hole is played first [Rule 10-1b]. The Rule does not change when the ball closer to the hole is off the green and the ball further from the hole is on the green. Your opponent, who was further from the hole, should have played first.
In match play, there is no penalty for playing out of turn. However, your opponent may require you to cancel and replay your stroke in the proper order [Rule 10-1c].
In stroke play, there is no penalty and no option to recall the stroke. However, if it is determined that the players have intentionally played out of turn to give one of them an advantage, both players are disqualified [Rule 10-2c].
In stroke play, players will often play out of turn near the green to speed up the pace of play. There is less fiddling with the flagstick if all players are on the green before putting commences. And you will often see players tap the ball in when their first putt stops near the hole, rather than marking and waiting for their turn.
In match play, you will lose both a psychological and a strategic advantage by agreeing to play out of order – psychological in that the pressure shifts to your opponent if he has to hit first; strategic in that you will have more knowledge about the putting green by observing your opponent's putt.
You can ignore order of play in stroke play in order to speed up the pace; you should always play in the correct order in match play.
