I just found out that Windows Live Writer doesn't save posts automatically. So the long post I wrote has disappeared and I have started afresh. This will be a very different post. Will the full story be told someday? I am too sleepy right now to even think of that
This is the story of seven hour car ride made for a three hour visit.
We stopping opposite Jaipur's Hawa Mahal in the morning just after we set off from the hotel. Our driver, Govind, had to repair the car's broken number plate. Broken during the floods and the rains the previous night.
Rains? In the 'desert state'? So much for geography lessons in school.
Well, I got to soak in a bit of the lazy morning mood before the local markets opened as I walked around languorously. I chatted with Shafiq and his brother, fifth generation shoe shop owners who offered to click my snaps and offered me a welcome hot chai off the streets. A pleasant twenty minutes spent taking in the atmosphere though I was sore at Govind for my loss of a few extra minutes of sleep.
I was headed to Pushkar on the super helpful @pathfyynder's suggestion. A Jaipur tweep whom @PBNair connected me with earlier in response to my tweet asking about Rajasthan.
The plan was to get a feel of the desert with just a day at hand. @pathfyynder also spoke of the 70s hippy'ish feel to the Holy Town thanks to the Sadhus who float around and the foreign tourists. 'Will remind you of Goa'.
We drove down highways smooth as the proverbial cheeks of Hema Malini. An analogy fathered by Lalu Yadav sometime back. A mini traffic jam caused by a million sheep before the highway ended. I was tempted to whisper 'lal maas' (meat curry) in their ears to speed them up.
@pathfyynder's contact Satish at Pushkar Valley Resort provided a welcome pit stop as I used the facilities. A shower is just what one needs before and after the desert.
I got on a camel and much to my apprehensions wasn't bent double like Lal Mohan Babu in the movie Sonar Kella. The camel was the slowest camel in the world and I later found out that the poor thing had fever as it was stuck in the previous day's rain. I got off apologetically and patted its head and got onto a younger, fitter and more uncomfortable camel.
The slow camel ride and a stop for lunch put paid to my desert plans as we had to head back the moment we reached the desert as I had a flight to catch. The rains had made the fringes green. I had seen the desert. Or at least some sand. Why quibble over the fine print?
In the process I had lunch at Mamta Restaurant outside the Brahma Temple recommended to me by local shopkeepers. I went for the daal baati churma recommended by the waiters. Unlike Santosh at Jaipur, the DBC at Mamta was different. The Baati here had a hard shell and had ghee streaked over it. I knew now that you had to shred it now.
The daal was yellower, hotter and more flavourful. There was the classic gatte ke sabji with gram flour dumplings instead of potato curry. The gravy piquant and memorable.
The churma here was served as a laddoo and had coconut in it and didn't work for me and I preferred the one at Santosh.
Overall the DBC at the 20 year old Mamta at Pushkar came at twice the price (Rs 120 vs the Rs 60) of the forty year old at Santosh at Jaipur but clearly trumped the big city one in terms of taste.
Folks on twitter kept asking me to have the malpua at Pushkar so on the way back the guy chaperoning my camel, the English speaking, mobile toting, Sodan, parked the camel at a sweet shop and got me a malpua (Rs 15) while I was perched on top. The malpua was thin, sweet and just right, crisp and tasted out of the world, especially when had on camel back.
Pushkar is a Holy City where alcohol and meat is not allowed. So my dreams of eating a sheep roasted under the desert sand would have to wait till I one day met the Bedouins of Arab. Due to the lack of time I didn't get to see the only Brahma Temple in the world. I saw the Pushkar lake with Hindu Temples at its banks from far much to the consternation of young men who said they were Brahmins and offered to do a prayer for me for twenty Rupees…the cost of salvation.
They didn't know that Mamta was more my sort of temple.
We headed back to Jaipur down the highway, stopped for a super spicy and yet beautifully flavoured, deep fried yet pleasant to bite alu paratha at a local dhaba before catching my flight out after a last minute traffic jam caused panic attack and then home to Mumbai.
So a seven hour trip for a three hour visit. A trip where I got to just see the desert which I had actually wanted to journey in to. A town I saw perched on top of a camel missing the local attractions of the Brahma Temple and the Holy Lake. Where I did not find the Bhaang shop that a Wikitravel search had promised. A trip where I ate some great locally recommended food and met some kind people on the way. A trip where I suffered a traffic induced scare on the way home and reached home late at night. Welcomed by the crashing rains of Mumbai.
The story of a day which had a life and mind of its own. A day which didn't go entirely as planned, which challenged my preconceptions and led to new experiences.
Was the mad mad trip to Pushkar worth it?
'I am listening' as Frasier would say.
According to a story I heard this evening it turns out that my grandparents and my aunt went to Pushkar and Ajmer too from Jaipur. Dadu took a dip in the holy lake and aunt pointed out that there were little baby turtles. Didu said that water got into his ears and years later he became deaf

My boys have some plain vinyl beanbag chairs they really love to sit in. The blue didn't match our new space and they were a little loud and cold so I decided to dress them up a bit for our new basement.
I began by measuring for a pattern. Two 36 inch circles and one long strip measuring 110 x 12 inches:
I cut a 36" circle from brown craft paper. I made a perfect circle by going old school and looping an 18 inch piece of string around two pencils. I held one pencil in place in the center and made a compass out of it, letting the outside pencil draw the circle. (if that is confusing see how to draw a circle.)
I needed a few pieces of fabric to make up the 110 inch length. Once I had a long strip, I turned right sides together and sewed the short ends, making a big loop:
Next, pin then sew the edges of the first circle to the edges of the loop with right sides together. You will be sewing the edges of the looped 110" piece to the edges of the circle like this:
Repeat with the bottom circle, leaving about an 18 inch gap un-sewn so you can slip your bean bag into the the cover.
*Tip* I found it easiest to pin the circle to the loop methodically to avoid a bunch of puckering at the end. I pinned it in quarters first then filled in the pins in each quarter, to help spread out the fabric evenly - making a pleat with any extra fabric.
I stuffed the bean bag into the open side then whip stitched it closed. I had intended to use a Velcro closure but decided against it.
Not perfect, but perfect enough... Warm and cozy, too!
Come back tomorrow to link up your own tutorials for Tutorial Tuesday!

Ahhh - I have been needing to do this also - but had no clue what the measurements would be. Thanks for the tutorial and inspirationReplyDelete
Nice job!ReplyDelete
If you did go with velcro, you could swap em out for the holidays or summer/winter colors.

Dave Wilson, a long-time opponent of gay candidates and causes, has sent out hundreds of letters to political party precinct chairs across the county asking them to help him recruit a candidate to challenge Mayor Annise Parker because she is lesbian.
Wilson, who insisted, "I'm not anti-homosexual, I'm pro-heterosexual," said he also wrote to hundreds of Parker's campaign contributors with the same pitch.
- Parker appointed Phyllis Frye, a transgender attorney born as Phillip Frye, as a muncipal court judge.
- Parker signed an executive order that prohibits city employees from blocking any employee or member of the public's access to a city restroom "that is consistent with and appropriate to that person's expression of gender identity." Wilson described the order in his letter as one that "allows men dressed as women to use the women's restroom."
- Parker has, in Wilson's words, "carved out a new council district for homosexuals (District C)."
Sue Davis, spokesperson for the Reelect Mayor Annise Parker Campaign, emailed a response:
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. We're going to continue our campaign focusing on issues of importance to Houstonians: economic development and job creation while holding the line on taxes.
Wilson sent out thousands of flyers opposing Parker's candidacy in 2009 in part because of her sexual orientation. He once led a successful effort to deny benefits to the partners of gay and lesbian city employees.
When asked if he himself might challenge Parker, he said, "Hell, no!" Wilson still has a lawsuit in the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals over what he considers the county Democratic Party's wrongful removal of him from the 2010 ballot. Wilson filed to run as the Democratic challenger to Precinct 4 Commissioner Jerry Eversole. No other Democrats filed, and Eversole ran unopposed.

Debbie is frightened just thinking about it. Ed and Lorraine are there and want to hear her story. The Annabelle Case, 1968. A doll keeps moving around their apartment. Debbie and Camilla are roommates, both nurses.
A seven-year old girl named Annabella Higgins died in the apartment. Debbie and Camilla gave Annabelle permission to inhabit their doll. They went out and left the doll in the spare room. upon returning, the doll was sitting in the hall and the apt was trashed. "Miss me?" wrote on the ceiling in red crayon.
Debbie tossed the porcelain-faced doll in the outside dumpster. That evening, a knock on the door. "Miss me?" wrote on a piece of paper in red crayon outside the door, in the hall. The doll was back in their cushioned chair.
Ed and Lorraine agree to help. They deny the existence of Annabelle. An inhuman spirit lives within the doll, something that has never walked the Earth in human form. Demonic. The doll is a conduit to possess them.
A priest blessed the apt and occupants. Thus ending the demonic event, according to Ed and Lorraine. They hid the doll someplace safe. They are Demonologists. Ghost hunters, paranormal researchers. Kooks. Wackos. Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Since the 1960's, Ed and Lorraine have been known as the world's most renowned paranormal investigators. Lorraine is a gifted clairvoyant, while Ed is the only non-ordained Demonologists recognized by the Catholic Church.
Out of the thousands of cases throughout their controversial careers, there is one case so malevolent, they've kept it locked away until now. Based on a true story.
1971- Harrisville, Rhode Island. Roger Perron is an over the road truck driver. Kenworth. He and his family move into an old country home on a swampy lake. Wife Carolyn, and girls, Andrea, Nancy, Cindy, Christine, and April. Sadie the dog. Just moved from New Jersey.
Everyone enters the home except Sadie. She stays on the front porch and barks. Afraid to go inside.
While playing hide and clap, the girl's find a hidden cellar. Roger investigates. The lights don't work. Lots of old furniture and spiders.
Sadie stays outside for the night, refusing to come in. Roger puts her on a chain.
The next morning, the clocks all stopped at 3:07a.m. Sadie is dead!
Monroe, Connecticut, Warren's home. Ed and Lorraine keep artifacts from cases. Everything is haunted, cursed, or used in a ritualistic practice. They have a priest bless the room every month. The Annabelle doll is there.
Georgiana, their younger daughter sneaks into the archives room as Ed talks to a reporter who is writing a story on the Warren's. Ed rushes her out immediately for her safety. "You didn't touch anything, did you?"
At Roger's home, the next night, the clocks stop at 3:07a.m., again.
Cindy sleepwalks. Carolyn, mom, is getting unexplainable bruises.
When sleeping, something grabs Christine's foot. A voice told her, "That it wants her family dead." She wakes crying.
Carolyn is becoming covered in bruises. She's prescribed Iron Polysaccharin for iron deficiency.
Roger is gone for a week, on a Florida run.
At 3 a.m. the family pictures are knocked off the staircase wall. Most broken. Carolyn is awake and hears noises, clapping, piano playing in the cellar. She looks and falls into the cellar. She hears girl's voices down there.
Cindy is sleep walking again. Noises are everywhere in the house. Andrea is attacked by a girl spirit.
Massachusetts Western University, Wakefield. Ed and Lorraine are speaking about an exorcism and showing a film. Maurice killed himself, the exorcism failed. Three phases of demonic activity; infestation, oppression, and possession.
Carolyn is there. She wants Ed and Lorraine to see her house. They agree. The next day. They meet they family. Report that, everyone is sleeping in the living room. Feels safer and warmer. A smell of rotting meat moves around the house. The house is always cold, no matter how warm Roger sets the t-stat. Birds fly into the sides of the house and kill themselves. Clocks always stop at 3:07a.m., all of them. Always hear three bangs on the doors and walls, an insult to the trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Rancid smells indicate demonic activity. The family pictures kept falling off the stair walls so they left them down.
In the cellar, "Something awful happened here, Ed," Lorraine said. She hears the screams.
Ed and Lorraine begin their work. November 1, 1971. Roger and Nancy record the events on tape.
Lorraine talks to April about Rory, her imaginary friend. He's sad. Something bad happened to him. He lives in her music box she found on the property on the first day. Lorraine saw Rory in the box, he's a boy about 12.
Lorraine sees a corpse hanging by its neck from a tree in the yard, for a moment. A woman.
Ed and Lorraine feel the house needs a cleansing, an exorcism. This dark spirit, entity, has latched itself to your family and it's feeding off you. Ed suggests the entire family gets baptized.
Lorraine learns through research, the farmhouse was built in 1863 by Jedson Sherman. Bathsheba was his wife, related to Mary Towne Estye accused of witchcraft in Salem. Hung during the trials. After Bathsheba married Jedson, they had a baby. At seven days old, Jedson caught her sacrificing it in front of the fireplace. She ran out to the tree by the dock, climbed up, proclaimed her love to Satan, cursed anyone who tried to take her land, and hung herself. Time of death, 3:07a.m.
Last name is Walker, lived there in the 1930's. She had a boy named Rory who mysteriously disappeared in the woods. Then she killed herself in the cellar.
This property has been sub-divided, the new owners committed suicide and drowned.
At 3:07a.m., screaming and moaning is recorded in a woman's voice on Ed's recorder.
Officer Brad Hamilton, Harrisville, Rhode Island P.D. is at Roger and Carolyn's home, helping with the exorcism. Ed sets up a camera at the tree where Bathsheba hung herself, in the back yard.
Carolyn hung the family photos back up. Later as she takes an afternoon nap, Bathsheba possesses her, by vomiting in her mouth.
Each case Ed and Loraine work on takes a little of Lorraine's soul. The last case she saw something so horrible that took an awful toile on her. She didn't eat or drink for eight days, locked in her room.
Ed, Lorraine, and Officer Brad are seeing and hearing things in the house, girl's voices, doors slamming, footsteps …
Bathsheba hid Cindy in the wall behind the bedroom closet. Cindy doesn't remember a thing. Rory hides in the same place when he's scared.
Lorraine falls through the floor, rotten boards, all the way to the cellar, Rory's mother is there, in ghost form. After seeing the ghost. Lorraine tells everyone. "I know what she did! She possessed the mother to kill the child. She visits Carolyn every night. That's what the bruise marks are! She's feeding off of her!" Hysterically!
The spirit begins dragging several of them around the room by the hair and feet. Everything is being recorded. Ed sends the footage to Father Gordon. He's expecting a fast response. Ed leaves but will be back with the exorcist.
Lorraine sees Judy's spirit in the water, at the dock, her older daughter. In a panic, she calls home. Her mom says Judy is fine.
Father Gordon is uncomfortable that the kids are not baptized. The family is not members of the church. The approval would need to come directly from the Vatican. He will push it through himself.
At Ed and Lorraine's home, Judy is awakened during a thunderstorm. She's frightened by ghostly noises, voices, doors banging… A spirit was rocking in the chair with Annabelle.
Roger's family is staying at a motel. Carolyn drove away with Christine and April. She smells like rotting meat. She's taking the girl's back to the house.
Everyone drives speedily back to the house.
Carolyn has the girls in the cellar. She's been possessed by Bathsheba and trying to kill her daughters with scissors. They try to take Carolyn to the priest for an exorcism but are unsuccessful. Bathsheba will kill Carolyn if she leaves the house.
Ed and Lorraine perform the exorcism. They tie Carolyn to a chair, cover her with a blanket, as she screams.
"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit… He begins in Latin…
She breaks free but the wild exorcism continues as Carolyn tries to kill April.
She fought Bathsheba and finally vomited her out. Carolyn is freed from the possession.
At Ed and Lorraine's home, Ed puts April's toy marry-go-round that Rory hides in, in his room of archives.
The Vadican approved the exorcism. The priest wants to meet with them tomorrow. There's a case in Long Island he'd like to discuss.
"Diabolical forces are formidable. These forces are eternal, and they exist today. The fairy tale is true! The devil exists. God exists. And for us, as people, our very destiny hinges upon which one we elect to follow." Ed Warren
The Perron Family, The Warren Family, both real families.
The End
According to the story, this really happened. You decide. It was very creepy and frightening. Good movie, overall.
My rating: 4 stars
May good fortune guide your path,
J.A. Ireland

Rusty Dunn, a real estate investor, has bought a 0.73-acre property right off Rosa L. Parks Boulevard. The site has given him more space to help pitch an idea for a multifamily project.
The site has a service station-style building that's occupied by car repair shop P.O. Slim Frame Alignment. Dunn paid $500,000 for the area located at 1729 Rosa L. Parks.
Dunn controls 1.84 acres in Historic Buena Vista. Before this purchase Dunn owned an acre of vacant land at 1715 Rosa L. Parks where a plan for condos fell through.
"This will be the first potential good-size project for Buena Vista," Dunn said. The addition of the 1.84 acres can accommodate a 250-unit apartment development.
Buena Vista is cheaper to build on than Germantown, allowing developers to design a great project and charge less rent!

23 February 2016 Cruise
Despite the Ocean Voyager's initial encounter with a very energetic competition pod (see above photo), the most interesting part of this day's cruise was the antics of one particularly active Humpback whale calf. But first things first…
The participants of the aforementioned competition pod became so violent and spread out at the surface, the SeaEscape III's pilot decided to steer clear of them lest their brawling smash into and swamp the tiny boat.
When they realized the female they were fighting over had left the scene, the males of the competition pod abruptly broke off their struggles with one another and gave chase to the fleeing object of their affections.
Prior to boarding the Ocean Odyssey, I took the following shots of what I assumed was a solitary mature Humpback whale performing a long series of noisy and very spectacular fluke slaps in the near-shore shallows. It's unusual for solitary whales to exhibit this behavior so close to shore (note the boulders of the harbor breakwater in the foreground), so I broke out the 300 mm zoom lens and began snapping away.
After blasting through about 30 shots and just as I was losing interest in this whale's antics, a small whale's head broke the surface a short distance to its left. So this was a mother-calf pair, and it appeared that Mom was teaching her offspring the fine art of fluke-slapping.
About a half-hour into the cruise, we came upon another mother-and-calf pair making their way slowly out into the channel between Ma'alaea Bay and Molokini Island. Junior was performing a continuous series of splashy fluke slaps while Mom cruised slowly nearby, staying very close to her newborn the entire time we spent with this pair. Female Humpback whales with newborns in tow are very protective and stick close to their offspring throughout the first year of their lives. This mother-child relationship is the only close bond that the otherwise purposely solitary Humpbacks form during their lives. After it is weened (usually after the return to Hawaiian waters), the female abandons the yearling to fend for itself.
Just when I thought this playful newborn couldn't get any cuter, it abruptly switched to performing a long series of awkward (but very energetic) partial breaches. During the first weeks of life, most newborn calves lack the strength to jump completely out of the water (a "full" breach). It is believed that the youngsters "practice" this behavior to strengthen their peduncle muscles in preparation for the long journey with Mom back to the Alaskan feeding grounds. To be honest, I believe they do it just because it's so damned fun!

The Opinion Pages | OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
Return of the Myanmar Military?
By MIN ZIN
YANGON, Myanmar — During his visit to Myanmar last week, President Obama sounded a word of caution, saying the process of reform was "by no means complete or irreversible." His tone was decidedly less enthusiastic than during his previous visit, in 2012. Back then, the recent inauguration of the pseudo-civilian government of President Thein Sein seemed to signal the advent of liberalization after almost half a century of military rule. Many political dissidents were then released from jail or house arrest, notably the democracy icon Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
But now progress has stalled on almost all major issues: power sharing with the opposition, peace talks with armed ethnic groups, Buddhist-Muslim relations, minority rights, media freedom. Progress has stalled because the military is tightening its grip once again.
The Tatmadaw, as the armed forces are called, has grown increasingly assertive in recent months, even as the country prepares for a historic general election next year, the first since the military junta's formal dissolution in 2011. Not only is the Tatmadaw increasingly exercising the expansive prerogatives it gave itself in the 2008 Constitution; it is trying to extend its powers further.
Jacob Stead
The recent killing of the freelance journalist Par Gyi, a former bodyguard of Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi, is just one glaring example. Mr. Par Gyi was allegedly shot while in army custody in early October. At first the army tried to hide his death, only to claim three weeks after it occurred that he was shot by soldiers while trying to escape. After the authorities exhumed Mr. Par Gyi, images of his mutilated body circulated on Facebook and outraged the general public, confirming suspicions that he had been tortured.
But the episode seems only to have revived the military's siege mentality. The army is unlikely to allow any civilian court to look into the case; it will rather prosecute its own commanders if necessary to protect the institution's credibility overall. And under the 2008 Constitution, "in the adjudication of military justice," the decision of the commander in chief is final.
Submitting to civilian oversight would be risky. A recent report by Harvard Law School names three senior generals in connection with crimes against humanity and war crimes suffered by ethnic Karen between 2005 and 2008. Transitional justice is a threat to the army's unity, and in the past would have been just the kind of threat to justify a coup. The issue today isn't so much whether the military would consider a takeover — times have changed — but rather how far it will go to protect its narrow interests in the face of public opposition, just a year before a general election.
Another gauge of its resolve is constitutional reform. Throughout 2013, a special committee appointed by Parliament solicited views from the public about whether, and how, the 2008 Constitution might be improved. In a separate petition, the main opposition party gathered five million signatures from people asking for a relaxation of the amendment clause. Modifying major provisions of the Constitution, including the amendment clause itself, requires a 75 percent majority in Parliament — which gives the military veto power since by law it holds 25 percent of parliamentary seats — and then a majority of votes in a national referendum. This exceedingly high threshold blocks any fundamental constitutional reform, including of the provision prohibiting Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi's candidacy for the presidency and of clauses governing taxation and the appointment of provincial authorities in ethnic areas.
Yet during debates in Parliament last week, the military's representatives declared that the amendment clause should be maintained. The Tatmadaw may never have considered allowing Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi to run for president. For a time, however, it did seem to want to increase the autonomy of ethnic regions, if only to curry support among ethnic political parties and armed groups. Its recent inflexibility is a notable change, and a sign of its growing insecurity.
This is especially ominous because the military's hardening risks causing friction with the Thein Sein government: Last December, the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party, an offshoot of the old military junta, had granted its conditional approval for amending the Constitution's amendment clause.
In the initial phase of liberalization, the military tended to follow Mr. Thein Sein's reform initiatives. The generals rarely defied the political agenda of the president, himself a career army bureaucrat, except to defend their economic and tactical interests. But according to several senior aides to Mr. Thein Sein, relations between the president and the commander in chief, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, are increasingly out of sync. Several sources close to both men told me that General Min Aung Hlaing's tougher tactics of late were reminiscent of the style of Senior Gen. Than Shwe, Myanmar's military leader from 1992 to 2011, suggesting that General Than Shwe may still be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Lately, the military leadership has called for expanding the role of the National Defense and Security Council, a military-dominated 11-member body that holds wide-ranging powers, including the right to take over from the civilian government in a state of emergency. During the parliamentary debates last week, military representatives argued that the N.D.S.C. should be able to dissolve Parliament if one-third of the seats become vacant.
Were this proposal an isolated case, it might simply be a maneuver by the military to increase its leverage. But like one of several such moves recently, it is evidence that the generals are hardening their stance with little regard for international opinion, the will of the voters, or even relations with Mr. Thein Sein. After a brief moment of promise, the new Myanmar is increasingly starting to look like the old.
Min Zin is a contributor to Foreign Policy's blog Democracy Lab, and serves as a Myanmar expert for think tanks and NGOs like Freedom House.
A version of this op-ed appears in print on November 18, 2014, in The International New York Times.

Dog killed in heatwave had no access to water
THE RSPCA are "lost for words" after a dog died in extreme heat condition after being tethered with no shelter or water, with another two dogs were seized.
Two dogs were seized from a property at Boronia Heights today - both were tethered on heavy chains with no shelter or water, and one of them had died.
"Words fail us," RSPCA's Michael Beatty said.
"Despite the warnings and despite the help of the media to relay the warnings, some people still aren't listening."
Shockingly, another dog in Marsden [pictured below] was found on a very short tether with its mouth taped shut, meaning it was unable to pant or drink and could have died.
Mr Beatty said it boils down to "unbelievable stupidity and callous indifference as temperatures skyrocket".
"If it's thirty degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can potentially rise to well over forty degrees in less than five minutes," he said.
"A dog can survive for days without food, but in these temperatures, if they don't have shade or can't reach water they'll die."
He said a rope or a chain can easily become entangled in furniture or plants and that can also become fatal.
"It's far better to make the yard or courtyard secure and then it won't be necessary to tether the dog in the first place," he said.
"We would also recommend that there are at least two to three containers of water in case one gets knocked over."
In 2018, RSPCA QLD received a nearly 1500 calls about dogs being left in hot cars and well over 2000 calls about animals being left with no shade and in some cases no water either.
They urge Queenslanders who see animals in distress to contact the RSPCA's 24/7 Animal Emergency Hotline 1300 ANIMAL.

Sara Evans:
Sara Evans recently emerged from her hiatus at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3, 2011 where she performed her recent hit, "A Little Bit Stronger" to a standing ovation. She cited the emotional performance as a highlight of her career and the first standing ovation of her lifetime. Sara Evans tour dates are currently scheduled nationally in support of her comeback album, "Stronger".
The missouri native moved to Nashville in 1991 in the hopes of making country gold. She recorded a demo in 1995 for veteran songwriter, Harlan Howard, who was impressed by her rendition of his song "Tiger by the Tail". She was soon signed to RCA Nashville who released her first album, "Three Chords and The Truth" in 1997. The album released three singles to tepid rotation on country radio, however, her video for the title track was nominated for a Country Music Television award and the stunning beauty with the soulful voice was quickly garnering attention in the music world.
Evans' sophomore follow-up proved to be more successful. "No Place That Far", was released in 1998 and featured the #1 smash title-track duet with Vince Gill, which pushed sales of the album to Gold status. Evans reached multi-platinum success with "Born To Fly". The album featured the title-track #1 single, and the pop-crossover hit "I Could Not Ask For More" and she solidified herself as the next country female superstar. She was nominated for five awards at the Country Music Association ceremony and her album was certified double-platinum. Evans returned in 2003 with the album, "Restless" which featured the biggest single of career, thus far, "Suds in the Bucket". The album received a nomination for Album of the Year at the 2005 Academy of Country Music Awards.
In 2005, the country star released her fifth album, "A Real Fine Place to Start" and it became her first #1 album on Billboard's Country Albums survey. It also hit #3 on the Billboard 200, becoming her highest charting entry to-date. She released a Greatest Hits album in 2007 and then went on a long hiatus to focus on her personal life. She became embroiled in a highly publicized divorce which forced her off the hit ABC show "Dancing With the Stars" in 2006. She made a huge comeback in 2010 with the release of her current single, "A Little Bit Stronger". The track was co-written by Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum who had Evans in mind when she wrote the lyrics. Her performance at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 2011 was a bold statement that she was back. The album was released in March, 2011 and hit #1 on the Country Albums charts and #6 on the Billboard 200.
In support of the album, Sara Evans tour dates are currently scheduled nationally. In addition to being an opening act on the Rascal Flatts summer tour, Sara Evans concert dates are booked periodically throughout 2011. The country diva is back and stronger than ever.

Mean pet people
As some of you know, my hubby & I have to move to a new place. We are having to find new homes for 2 of our 4 cats. So I've been emailing some of the local shelters asking for help placing them. Some have been at least helpful, but some have just been HATEFUL! So I'm venting here to see if I want to bother emailing them back...
Petunia showed up on my doorstep about 8 years ago. Should I have taken her to the pound then? She doesn't like any of the other cats, but she instantly adores all people. Will she really be 'traumatized' if I find a new home for her without cats that fight with her?
Buddy & Precious were strays that my husband took in prior to our meeting. Should he have taken them to the pound then? Should I have found a different husband since I know I plan to rent and most rentals limit the number of pets? These are the 2 we are keeping and I'm giving up the opportunity to live on the water because that option only allowed ONE pet. These cats are quite bonded to each other and my husband, so that's the other reason we decided they would be the ones to stay.
Skippy showed up at my work as a kitten. I work right on 192, so should I have just left him wandering the streets to get run over? I had my husband take the kitten home while we called all the shelters in the area. Should we have taken him to the pound immediately? Perhaps, but after a day at my home he was playing with Cat 3 and my husband didn't want him to go to possibly euthanasia.
Maybe all six of us should just live on the streets. We are not in a position to buy a house and all the rentals limit the number of pets. The place we live is a condo that's being sold. Even if we bought it, it's been brought to our attention that condo rules limit pets to one. I'm still trying to sell my house from when I moved here 2 years ago, I doubt anyone is going to give me a mortgage to buy a house here and I don't want to end up with TWO mortgages, especially since I never know from year to year where I'll be working!
Thanks for letting me vent. It's hard enough moving & finding homes for 2 cats without the people I ask for help castigating me for what I'm trying to do. I am just SO frustrated. Then there's my husband saying "we are NOT taking them to be killed" (which I agree with) but he's not offering any other options.
Should I bother sending the explanation part back to the nasty people who hollered at me for "abandoning" my pets? BTW, the picture is Buddy, Skippy & Precious.

Nope - I think they qualify as the Proverbs description of 'fools' and aren't worth your time to argue with them and prove yourself a fool by doing so.

SAN FRANCISCO — EBay Inc., which has been aggressively expanding in Asia, plans to increase its stake in South Korea's largest online auction company.
The Internet auction giant said Tuesday night that it would purchase nearly 3 million publicly held shares of Internet Auction Co. from institutional investors, mainly venture capitalists, to boost its ownership stake from 62 percent to 86 percent.
The $325.6 million cash purchase is expected to be completed as soon as the Seoul-based company's stock hits a target price of 125,000 Korean won, or $108.85, and clears local securities regulations.
Internet Auction Co. traded Wednesday at 115,100 Korean won, or $100.23, up 12 percent from Tuesday. Shares in eBay inched up 42 cents to $86.96 in midday trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
San Jose, Calif.-based eBay said it hopes to increase its stake further in the upcoming weeks. Spokesman Chris Donlay said Wednesday the company is "willing to buy any and all shares from anyone who wants to sell them."
EBay said the purchase would not affect its financial results. Executives said in July they expected 2004 sales as high as $3.185 billion, $35 million higher than they previously predicted.
Although South Korea slipped into a recession in 2003, its 48 million residents present a potentially lucrative e-commerce market. South Korea has the world's highest percentage of households using broadband Internet connections, with nearly three-quarters logging in from home at high speed. It's the world's 12th largest economy, and the third largest in Asia.
Internet Auction is the most recent target of eBay's Asian expansion. Although eBay pulled out of Japan in 2002 because it couldn't compete against homegrown sites, the company has rapidly expanded elsewhere in Asia, opening offices and advertising in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea and India.
In June, eBay announced a $50 million acquisition of Baazee.com, India's most popular online shopping site. And last year, eBay completed its purchase of EachNet for $150 million, after an initial investment of $30 million. EachNet, China's largest e-commerce site with 5.5 million registered users, competes against Alibaba.com. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo Inc. also plans to open a Chinese auction site later this year.

An expansion is additional software (usually made available for retail sale) that adds new content and features to a game.
The content of an expansion is usually not available to anyone who does not own the expansion, however World of Warcraft has broken this pattern partially by allowing all players to experience some previously exclusive expansion content (professions are the biggest example). Most expansions will not install or run as stand-alone products.
For example, the Frozen Throne expansion for Warcraft III added new campaigns, units, maps, and other content to the game.
It was stated on an interview before the first World of Warcraft expansion (possibly by Rob Pardo) that "We have made concepts for this expansion, and we already have enough ideas for 5-6 more".
Blizzard has stated it planned to release one expansion per year for World of Warcraft. Yet development of new expansions has taken significantly longer.

Gainesville Concussions Injury Lawyers
Concussion Injuries in Gainesville
Many people think of a concussion as a minor head injury. This might or might not be the case. Brain injuries, especially mild to moderate brain injuries caused by concussions, are often slow to onset in terms of how the injury affects a person's day-to-day living. One or two mild concussions in a lifetime might not leave a person with noticeable, long-term effects. However, the opposite is very often true. Mild to moderate concussion victims often have lingering symptoms that are difficult to detect, and that are often incorrectly diagnosed as merely the symptoms of "getting old" or being stressed. These symptoms include forgetting where you put your keys, having frequent headaches or vivid nightmares, or committing errors on simple, everyday mathematical calculations in the months following a concussion injury. A concussion, which medical literature calls a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), can result in post-concussion syndrome effects including:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Attention deficit
- Short-term memory loss
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability
- Depression
After a car crash, truck accident or workplace accident involving a head injury, beware of settling your case prematurely. Insurance claims adjusters may urge you to accept a settlement before you and your doctor have a good grasp of the long-term effects of your head injury. You might need additional therapy or need additional, expensive evaluation by a brain injury specialist like a neurologist or a neuropsychiatrist. You may be unable to work full time or you might need to change your job or get vocational training to cope with your closed head injury. Our law firm can guide you and represent you after a Gainesville concussion injury. Attorneys of Fine, Farkash & Parlapiano, P.A., have tried and won numerous cases before juries. We prepare every brain injury claim as if for trial.
If we represent you, we will charge no attorneys' fees or other costs unless and until we recover money for you. After-hours and weekend appointments are available as needed. Our Florida attorneys are willing to make home and hospital visits if you are unable to come to our law office, located in the historic Stevens-Wrench House in the Northeast Historic District, Gainesville, Florida.

Living Healthy
Fitness … Fitness… Fitness… Everyone talks about it now a days. It seems people are now getting more health conscious and the term doesn't mean Just to reduce weight, It has gone beyond that. But soul obesity and overweight has turned out to be a global issue both in developed and underdeveloped countries and this represents large percentage of those who are not health conscious. Every year in U. S. About 400,000 deaths take place due to obesity according to research. This means that more Is needed to be done to reduce this figure and to give awareness to the people f the affects of this deadly cause.
Although, there has been many programs and development centers that are carrying out the task but, this should be further expanded on much more strategic levels. Coming back to the point as what actually fitness means? It means to be In shape and healthy both mentally and physically. To have a healthy life style one must be fit. How a million dollar question? The answer Is quite simple to that, however, a bit difficult when carrying out. To remain fit one must take balanced diet I. E. Daily intake of fruits and vegetables, essential proteins and reverberates. Malignantly water level is also an essential part of overall fitness program.
According to research an average person's required water from three sources beverages 60%, food 30% metabolism 10% and in the same way it loses water in four ways I. E. Urine 60%, skin & lungs 30%, sweat 5%, feces 5%. Make sure that water that's being used for drinking is not contaminated and clean and hygienically fit to drink. Because In many places tap water Is not clean or Its PH level is not up the mark that causes diseases like hepatitis, malaria, and Jaundice etc. So o need to be careful when you drink water, use boiled water for both drinking and nasal cleaning.
Individuals, should drink sufficient amount of water prior to exercise, they should also drink approximately mall of fluids about 2 hours before exercise. Add oat meal to your diet as well it's a good source of fiber. Avoid all kinds of junk food and fast food, this would add calories. Make a habit of daily exercise. Do any type of exercise that suits you. Either Join gym, or go for walk, Jogging, play any game or sport anything that results In exertion. A bleak forecast research has found that overweight or obese children have a substantial risk of growing up to be an overweight or obese adult.
This finding is particularly alarming, giving the dramatic rise in childhood overweight and obesity rates. Adding to these suggestions, if one has gone over weight then he/she can go for detoxification programs such as fasting this would make you relax both mentally and physically. Meal replacement Is another good option, where you can go for salad or something light in calories. Replace your snacks with dry fruits bowl or with some fresh fruit Juice. Again, as said above election of food Is Important. Are you taking Junk food or high calorie diet then Immediately stop taking It.
Otherwise, you might get In a big trouble. As this, might lead to several diseases like heart attacks, diabetes, strokes and many others. Here for an effective detoxification program regular exercise is a must and it plays a vital exercise shouldn't be exempted when carrying out this program. Research has also shown that, obesity and overweight causes sleep disorder too. Especially, in people who smoke as well. They experience a feeling of restlessness after a night's sleep Han non-smokers. A proper full night sleep should be taken say from app. M. At night to AAA. M. In the morning.
Try to use blue night flubs as they give calmness. Another, major cause of being unfit is stress. This affects the whole body especially brain and nervous system, which then further causes several other diseases like depression, insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, lethargy etc. That not only disturbs you mentally but physically too. Avoid such things that causes stress, opt those things that bring calmness in you. Add banana as part of your regular diet plan. Keep a small fish aquarium as this would reduce your stress and blood pressure, it also helps in controlling your diabetes as well.
Furthermore, avoid excessive use of electronic items like mobile phones, PC's, microwaves as they spread harmful rays. Go for greenery- means go for gardening. Do home plantation as much as you can and try to keep your surrounding green and natural. Ornamental plants are one of the good examples for home and workplace. These plants increase memory retention and concentration. When working under such environment performance rose with high quality and accuracy rate than when this kind of environment was absent. Living with plants improves memory up to twenty percent said by a recent study at University of Michigan (Sewage).
In a much similar way planting flowers around your home and workplace greatly reduces a person's stress level. Ornamental flower are said to be great way of lowering stress levels and anxiety. People who tend to keep flowers in their homes and offices are more relaxed and secured. The positive energy that is being derived there by reduces the stress related problems like depression. In a nut shell flowers or perhaps the nature makes one to look at the optimistic side of his/her fife, brings one to the visual simulation and increase the happiness.
Nevertheless, it's high time to take some measures to come up the above mentioned problems. As said earlier, people are now getting health conscious but they are few in number. It's everyone's responsibility to create awareness as much as one can and help people understand how they can overcome this deadly phenomenon. Although, there had been much research and work done in past and it is still in progress, many institutions are working day and night to find a way out. But, as an individual it's our responsibility how far we contribute in it.

I recently started playing an online game with an old friend from my teenage years. Although we have always intermittently been in touch, as the years have passed contact has been sketchy.
We were talking how enjoyable it was to catch up. It can be comfortable to fall back into an old friendship with someone who has known you for so long where you have complete confidence to be yourself, secure that you won't be judged.
When I expressed this they agreed. "Good people in your life are always the good people no matter how long it's been" they said, "true friends are islands in the sea of life".
This statement really struck a chord with me. I believe people come into our lives for many reasons. It's only natural that as we progress and develop there are those we grow apart from and new friendships are formed which suit our mutual needs.
But there are however, those precious friends, those 'can call with a crisis at 3am' friends, who are unwavering in their love and support whether it's been six hours or six years since you last spoke to them. As Oprah famously said "there are plenty of people who want to ride in the Limo with you but what you really need is someone who will ride the bus with you when the limo breaks down".
If you have someone like this in your life and it has been a while why not give them a call? It really can make someones day to know they have been thought of.
Share this with your friends.

Thoughts on the "terror threat" at Harvard
When I was at Cal, one of the great inconveniences was bomb threats against Sproul Hall, which was then (and I presume is now) Cal's administrative building. From my point of view, the scenario was unchanging: I'd stand in an endless line in order to get or return some piece of paper that was essential to my academic career. Sometimes I'd be waiting an hour or more. And then, just as I got within spitting distance of the clerk's window, the clerk would announce, "Sorry, there's been a bomb threat. Everyone needs to evacuate the building." Nobody panicked; everybody grumbled. These bomb threats all had a "been there, done that" feeling about them. As far as I know, no one has ever detonated a bomb at Berkeley, at least not since I first arrived there in 1979.
Not only was the bomb threat boring (although inconvenient) to me, it was to everyone else too, including the media. These things never made news.
Now, though, in our internet society, a bomb threat anywhere is big news everywhere. Today's Drudge headline is that there was a bomb scare at Harvard, and there's a story at the WSJ about it. While it used to take an actual explosion to make the media care, now all it takes is a phone call.
We all have the sense that we live in very scary times. Indeed, I think that 9/11 shows that we do live in dangerous times, with determined enemies. Islamists want to kill us, and they'll do so with big attacks (9/11) or comparatively small ones (Fort Hood).
Having acknowledged that reality, though, it's also necessary to acknowledge that a world-wide, 24-hour, instantly accessible media cycle means that things that we used to ignore or treat solely as local news are now presented to the public as immediate, imminent concerns in everybody's back yard. For once, I don't blame the media for this. They're just doing their job in a reconfigured landscape. I do wish, though, that there was some countervailing force or belief system that would quell the fear and panic we feel when we view a headline that, in the past, the media would probably have ignored.

# 1 Voluptuous Highlighted Top
This is an imperfect version of the shape up hairstyle only given to the sides. The sides have a nice skin fade that creates a great contrast with the highlighted blonde top.
The top hair is longer and grows outward to create more flavor in this style.
# 2 Mild Bald Fade
The bald fade on the temple gives this haircut an irresistible look. It sports an elegant pomade at the top that is styled using pomade wax to give it a silky smooth appeal. It is an amazing style that will definitely make your day.
# 3 Shape Up for Textured Crop
Creating the perfect look in junk cuts can be quite a challenge. This crop haircut is given some texture with a clean razor cut at the temple making it turn out pretty okay.
# 4 Razor Part Shape Up
A surgical razor part creates a unique and elegant look in this pomp-style haircut. A bald fade from the temple to the occipital bone disconnects the beard to give you more swag.
# 5 Shape Up for Wavy Top
You can actually spice up your looks by styling the top hair into nice waves with a pretty sweet skin fade on the sides. The fade extends some inches down the beard lineup.
# 6 Sharp Fade with Pomp
This is an excellent option for men who want something unique and elegant in a shape up style. The temple is given a sharp fade. The haircut sports a razor part that borders a sleek pomp that adorns the top.
# 7 Different
You don't have to achieve a streamlined look in a shape up hairstyle. You can incorporate different styles in different sections to achieve a trendy master haircut.
A high fade on the sides transitions into a bald fade at the temple. A pomp style sits on the top to make a bold statement.
# 8 Bold Street Trim
This is a haircut for the bold. It sports a skin fade on the sides and back. The top and crown are left longer and given some texture to create a more classic appeal.
The hair is cropped at the mid-section of the forehead to give you a cool look.
# 9 Blow Dried
This is a very cool style that brings the elegance and sleek look of blow dried hair into play. The sides and back are faded to completely isolate the beard.
# 10 Front Flip
Adding the sleek top to this haircut seems a good idea. However, more elegance and drama is created by flipping up the front hair to blend well with the faded sides.
A tapered cut sits perfectly on the nape making this style even hotter.
# 11 Recess
Men with recessed hairline might find this style a complete match. The top is textured and given a classic touch.
The sides sport a fade cut stretching from the temple to the occipital bone. A pair of glasses come in handy to give a formal look.
# 12 Curly and Wavy Top
Curls and waves are the best ways of adding more style to your hair. Elegance gel is used to style this straight pompadour into lovely curls and waves. A sharp fade for the sides and back adds more edge to this style.
# 13 Shape Up for Thinned Hair
Volume should not be a hindrance to achieving the perfect shape up style. Here is how you can incorporate it into short thinned hair. The faded sides connect well to the beard lineup to add to the classic look of this style.
# 14 Blunt Crop
This blunt crop haircut sports a textured shiny top slicked to the front and sides to create the illusion of a capped top. The sides and nape are cut down to the skin. This style is a perfect match for young boys.
# 15 Faded Nape
This style gives you an edgy vintage look that is both elegant and inspiring. The temple and the nape are given a faded cut that creates more of a military look.
# 16 Fresh Taper & Beard
The textured spiky top and the tapered sides do much to create more flavor in this style. The temple sports a bald fade that disconnects the hair from the tapered beard.
# 17 Shape Up for Pressed Pomp
Here, the hair is blow-dried and styled into a pomp that is pressed down to give it more edge. A skin fade for the sides cements the whole look. This haircut creates the illusion of an elongated face.
# 18 Shape Up for Crew Cut
Here, you get a style that is clean and provides the convenience of hassle-free maintenance. The hair is textured and given a short buzz cut on top.
Faded sides with neat outlines create a formal style that is a perfect match for students.
# 19 Creative Shape Up
You can try to expand your skills a mile further and come up with something that will intrigue many. This haircut sports long side flipped locks on top.
The sides are given a skin fade that matches well with a nice artistic interpretation at the nape.
# 20 Neat and Classic
This is a perfect way of achieving that "wow" look that will earn you lots of compliments. The hair is given tons of texture with neat well-defined outlines.
A surgical razor part separates the cool textured pomp from the skin fade sides. The beard is trimmed to perfection to create a nice match for the hair.
# 21 African-American Style
Here is how you can incorporate a shape up hairstyle in black African hair. A fade cut is given on the sides and back extending way down to the beard. A mustache and small beard around the chin add some creativity in this style.
# 22 Perfect Shape Up
This style provides a refined look that is absolutely stunning. The top hair is textured and styled into a classic pomp that is given a little lift at the front.
The back and sides are given a skin fade cut that transitions into a bald fade on the temple to the occipital bone.
# 23 Spiky Shape Up
The spiky textured top transitions into tapered sides with a surgical half razor part that adds more swag to the haircut. A bald fade is given some few inches from the temple to allow a perfect connection to the beard lineup.
# 24 Party at the Back
This is a classic shape up that sports some creativity in the nape of the neck. A surgical V-shape line sits well at the nape to create a statement. The faded sides are disconnected from the beard. The hair is textured to provide a shiny look.
# 25 Parted with Sleek Pomp
This is definitely a "wow" look in the world of shape up hairstyles. The hair has lots of texture with a part style that separates the top from the sides to create the perfect preppy haircut. The sides are tapered and allowed to extend a few inches into the beard lineup.
Now that you have known the best ideas for the shape up haircut, it is high time that you consult your stylist and see what he can do to give you that perfect, elegant haircut. You surely won't be disappointed!

Sydney FC focus is Perth not Premiership trophy
Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold has put the rest of the A-League on notice, believing his record-breakers can get even better as they focus on accruing three points in WA this weekend.
After a dominant season, the Sky Blues will claim the Premiers Plate with three games to spare if they beat Glory in Perth on Sunday night.
But Arnold says they're not the finished product.
Editors' Picks
- 'Never stop believing!' - Henderson, Klopp & Liverpool bask in Premier League glory
- Back Arteta, Kroenke out: Arsenal's transfer situation is not so straightforward
- Ramos still 'the f*cking boss' as Real Madrid prepare to wrap up La Liga title
- 'Best target man in the world' - Giroud showing Pulisic why Hazard loved playing with Chelsea forward
"I still believe we've got improvement left in us - a lot of improvement," he told reporters as the side prepared to jet out to Western Australia.
"We know we've got six weeks to go, six weeks that we're pushing to win all six games.
"There's a huge amount of belief in the squad.
"The players believe enormously in each other which is crucial, so I expect our form to pick up over the next six weeks to finish this off," he said.
Sydney FC could claim the Premiers Plate as early as Saturday night if Melbourne Victory fails to beat the Roar in Brisbane, but Arnold insists he's not thinking about silverware at this stage of the season.
"Until we get the three points on Sunday and perform to the best of our ability, there's no trophies being handed out yet.
"I don't want to think about those things until we actually achieve it.
"It's about preparation for the Perth game.
"We enjoy the trip to Perth; we've had a lot of good success over there in the past.
"We expect to do that again on Sunday," said Arnold.
The Sky Blues will be without first-time Caltex Socceroos Danny Vukovic and Rhyan Grant, but Arnold believes they have the depth to cover their absences.
"I have absolute 100 percent faith in anyone I put out on the field.
"Obviously Andrew Redmayne will come in for Danny Vukovic.
"Redmayne has trained exceptionally well - he's back working with [goalkeeping coach] John Crawley who's pretty much developed his career for him.
"I expect all the players I put on the pitch to perform at 100 percent of their ability."

Tasmania in its isolation from the Australian mainland remains one of those parts of the country where some working holiday visa holders always seem to miss out on. Arguably, this is the best part of Australia. Cooler climates, more wilderness and some ridiculously cool sights to check out make Tasmania a backpacker's dream.
Arrival into Tasmania is often by the famous "Spirit of Tasmania" ferry from Melbourne to Devonport, but flights to Hobartare also reasonable prices.These are the top 5 places to tour when backpacking in Tasmania.
1.The Nut at Stanley
The Nut is incredible, it's a hill formed by a volcanic reaction many years ago and it sits high on the north coast of Tasmania. Just underneath the Nut sits the village of Stanley. The climb to the top is brilliant and it offers good views. The town itself can also be a viewing place for penguins in the winter months.
2.West Coast Wilderness Railway
The incredible journey across Tasmania's coolest railway track is one you will never forget. Starting off in Queenstown, the train raises itself to the famous Rinadeena station (the highest train station on the island) before making a descent via a honey farm all the way to charming Strahan. Also on route you can hunt for gold in the village of Lynchford.
3.Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake
For hiking experts, the overland hike to Cradle Mountain is highly recommended. This mountain has a twin jagged peak and sits loftily above the pretty Dove Lake. For those not keen to hike high up, you can circle the lake on the lower ground and check out wildlife and natural trails along the way.
4.Bruny Island
Imagine going to an island (Australia) and then getting a boat to a smaller island (Tasmania) and then getting an even smaller boat to an even smaller island (Bruny Island). That's exactly what you should do if you want to tour Bruny Island. There are some really notable sights here – Cape Bruny's lighthouse is one of the southernmost lighthouses to be constantly manned, here they have Australia's southernmost pub and you can the rare white wallabies if you know where to spot them. This is a dream spot for any backpacker.
5.Wineglass Bay
It might be textbook photography to get your phot taken over looking Wineglass Bay with a glass of wine in your hand, but everyone does it anyway. Hiking to the top of Mount Amos is a good idea to get the best viewpoint. But you can also visit Wineglass Bay itself on a short trail, and go for a swim in the cool blue waters here.
I hope these tips help when you go backpacking in Tasmania, and I haven't even mentioned Tasmanian Devils, or the cities Hobart, Launceston or Devonport yet!

Becoming an E-Patient-An Elder's Path From Cyber Games to Health Gains
At first it was all about the games for Jerry King, 77. A dozen years ago, her friends from church would tell her about the fun games she could play on the Internet, specifically a website called Pogo.
I'm fascinated by word games, she said. It was just for fun for me. But the Internet soon played a grander role in her life "a purpose that has transformed the lives of many seniors. In 1999, when her husband Jim was diagnosed with colon cancer, she and Jim played Internet games together to pass the time.

Baptist Health International Center of Miami Supports Jamaican Communities
Baptist Health International Center of Miami and South Miami Hospital, both divisions of Baptist Health South Florida, continued their efforts to support communities throughout Jamaica last week by presenting major donations in Montego Bay and Kingston.
A team of Baptist Health representatives was on hand at SOS Children's Village near Montego Bay July 20 to host the hospital's annual Jamaica Children's Fun Day Picnic and present children living at the home with much-needed personal supplies. Through South Miami Hospital's Caribbean Charity for Children program, each of the 110 children at the home received a customized care package containing essential personal hygiene products, school supplies, shoes and clothing.

Robert Altman's Nashville 1975

I always hated this movie, a rather condescendng piece of crap if there ever was, the real story can be found in Daryl Duke's Payday w/Rip Torn, released two years before and ignored by most.

I saw Payday on your recommendation. What a Sleazefest that was!

I've heard the argument that Nashville is condescending before, but I've never understood to whom Altman is supposed to be expressing contempt. The Hollywood types portrayed in the film are hardly given any more respect than the Nashville citizens, and I don't think he was trying to do an exposé or serious representation of the country music industry. But then again, it's one of my absolute favorite movies, so I am very biased. Not for nothing was my old radio show called The Replacement Party. I am also down with Payday. Cool movie, but no Nashville.

When they met, love was the last thing they were looking to discover…
Local bar owner Cali Tate has always been trendy, easy-going, and impulsive. She isn't afraid to take chances, but her carefree attitude may have put her restaurant in jeopardy. Her failing business is beginning to take a toll on her, both mentally and financially. When her best friend asks her to do a favor and take some books to the town's reclusive professor Cali welcomes the distraction. To her surprise, the sexy professor is nothing like she had pictured him.
Dr. Carter Stavros wants to be left alone. He's set in his ways and doesn't want to be bothered with the outside world. Wanting to escape the demons of his recent past, he moved to Steeple, taking a sabbatical from his teaching job to write a book. He wasn't prepared for the spunky, persistent bar owner to invade his life. But the more she pushes, the more intrigued he becomes.
Neither one of them expected to find any common ground, much less fall in love. What happens when an OCD professor collides with a risk-taking woman who won't take 'no' for an answer?

US, here we come!
August 4, 2008 Leave a comment
Passport, credit card, ticket, some clothes, camera, mic… It seems that I'm set to start one of the most interesting trips in my career as a New Media entrepeneur. First I fly to New York where I participate in a small expert group discussion of one of our clients to brainstorm about the use of new (social) media in the marketing of one of their products. They have collected a truly remarkable group of people and it is the intention to come up with some innovative concepts. The session will be moderated by CScout, a company specialized in trendwatching. Google is one of the participants as well, and to create a 'stimulating' environment we're going to have one day of the session in the Google office… (I wanna have a step too!)
Next I stay a few days in New York to buy some hardware …I mean, do some sightseeing.
On Monday I fly to Vegas for the annual Podcast and New Media Expo. René will arrive the next day and before Mieke arrives on Wednesday we've already been in all the exciting attractions (sorry Mieke, but we'll go twice if we have to).
The big thing starts on Thursday, all the way through Saturday. The program really looks compelling and we claim sponge Bob our hero again (yes, we do absorb the most knowledge when we're sitting on the first row).
After the New Media Expo René hurries home to dive into the dipers again, and Mieke and I are heading East to visit some of the most beautiful places on Earth (apart from Boxmeer, that is). This however has nothing to do with new media, so we just call it 'holiday'…
Keep an eye on our blog since we intend to post a lot, or follow me on Twitter.
Bye for now!

Heuer Regatta – Automatic Yacht Timer
Excellent condition Heuer automatic yacht timer wristwatch. This watch is used for timing yacht races with its unique countdown dial. It is an automatic wristwatch that can be used as any regular wristwatch, telling the time with hours, minutes and seconds. The button at the 2 position starts and stops the countdown timer and the crown at the 4 position winds the movement. The 15 minute countdown is viewed through the apertures in the top centre of the dial. A rotating plate under the dial turns the colours from blue, slowly to red, then the read and then back to the dial colour. When the countdown timer turns to the dial colour, that is when the yacht race begins and you can cross the start line. The purpose of this function is so that yachts have got 15 minutes to manouvre themselves to the start line, the skilled yachtsman will be able to do so and cross the line as the hooter sounds. The case is stainless steel and is a high sided sturdy case in the style of the Autavia wristwatches, it has got a 60 minute bezel which appears to be a fixed bezel, the case has got some marks on it as it has probably been used for yachting purposes.

IV Hydration Therapy in New Orleans
Nutritional deficiency occurs when either the body is unable to absorb the necessary amounts of a nutrient, or there are insufficient nutrients found in the foods we eat.
IV nutrient therapy supports:
- Immune Deficiency
- Allergies
- Detox Therapy
- Food Sensitivities
- Over-Indulgence
- Neurological Disorders
- Chronic Fatigue
- Muscle Pain
- Headaches/Migraines
- Heart Disease
- High Blood Pressure
- Skin Conditions
Intravenous IV treatments are exceptionally powerful because they bypass issues with oral administration, including upset stomach, absorption issues, and potency loss. In addition, very large doses can be administered via IV without gastrointestinal side effects, which can limit dosing.
Providing these nutrients intravenously (IV) is the most effective way of correcting the essential vitamin and mineral intracellular deficits. They will be delivered directly to the bloodstream; bypassing any obstacles in our digestive system that would block direct absorption.
At Superior Healthcare in Metairie, we offer an assortment of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, chelating agents, and trace elements that can help treat a variety of conditions. Intravenous nutrients serve as a tune-up for your body to perform better.
What to expect during your visit:
- IV hydration therapy is usually broken into 15 – 60-minute sessions that involve administering nutrients tailored for your specific needs.
- The number of sessions can range. Sometimes, a single session is all that is needed for conditions like fatigue; or your doctor may feel that you can benefit from multiple sessions for conditions like muscle pain, neurological disorders, chronic health conditions, and heavy metal detoxification.
- At each session, an IV line will be administered into your arm. At this time, you feel a small pinch. In addition, there are a few, minor complications a person may encounter during IV hydration therapy. There may be some tenderness around the injection site, slight swelling of the vein, or fatigue.
An energizing combination of essential B vitamins, Magnesium, Vitamin C and a blend of minerals for that energy boost that your body needs; great for fatigue and stress.
Skin Rejuvenation Treatment – $145
Restore the glow and health of your hair, skin, and nails with this powerful infused antioxidant, vitamin C, Zinc and Glutathione combination. These infused nutrients help the skin, hair, and nails heal from the inside out and reverse signs of free radical damage to the skin.
Superior Immune Boost – $135
Increases your natural defenses to prevent illness by allowing your body to have the tools that are needed to fight off those pesky viruses. This IV therapy infusion will enhance your immune system, reducing fatigue, helps with seasonal allergies, aids in the recovery of injured muscles, reduces symptoms of fibromyalgia, and pain.
Superior Headache/ Migraine – $125
This IV hydration therapy utilizes the healing properties of Magnesium and Vitamin B6, to decrease inflammation and blood pressure, relaxes muscles, and reduces anxiety naturally.
Superior Super-Immune – $145
Already feeling sick? We have you covered. Super-Immune IV therapy utilizes high levels of Vitamin C with essential trace minerals to decrease the time spent fighting off the nasty little bugs or infections.
Superior Ultimate Hangover – $135
Had a little too much fun the night before? No problem, this IV hydration therapy is packed with all the essential vitamins and minerals you need to recover. Additionally, the added power-packed Glutathione for detoxification, and anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory needs are included.
Superior Cellular Energy – $100
When dealing with chronic conditions of the body, the cells of our body become energy deprived and start to lose energy. This loss in energy results in the body's inability to heal, thus chronic disease can take over. This powerful IV mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide and Magnesium will energize your cells from the inside out. Reclaiming vital cellular energy aiding in the body's ability to heal and recover.
Superior Neurological – $145
This powerful IV infusion utilizes the power of Alpha Lipoic Acid to aid in the body's ability to help prevent certain kinds of cell damage. Has been shown to enhance the body's ability to use its own insulin to lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes and reduce the symptoms of peripheral nerve damage.
Superior Drip Optional Additions:
Lipo-MIC Injection w/ B12 – $25
These shots contain high doses of the fat-blasting compounds Methionine, Inositol, Choline, and a potent dose of vitamin B12. Lipotropic nutrients are a class of agents that play an important role in the body's use of fat. They help your liver process fats at peak efficiency, making your weight loss easier to maintain. Lipotropic nutrients promote or encourage the export of fat from the liver. Lipotropics are necessary for the maintenance of a healthy liver, and for burning the exported fat for additional energy.
During a period of losing weight or inches Lipo-MIC would be recommended twice a week for 4 weeks.

With rising rates, is 2019 going to be the right time to rent?
It truly comes down to your lifestyle needs. To build wealth a property needs to appreciate, have tax advantages and an offset to expenses for the duration. But you knew this already.
Building your home wealth over time, owning is the stable, typically tax beneficial strategy to earn while you sleep. Combine your efforts in a suitable duplex or multifamily property, and the discussion for you is that of being suited as an investor. Denver continues to have a growing population that wants to call the state and capitol city home.
When and what to rent?
If only here for 2 years or less, rentals typically make the most sense for the desired duration. As rates rise, you will want to ensure your calculations assume the right rate of interest and annual home appreciation. These 2 factors amongst others are essential to your decision. Use your accountant or an online calculator to assist with your decision.
Assume for a moment that you are a budding entrepreneur. Keeping focused and on budget is going to be a concern. Your company is your baby and on the surface the home is likely a secondary goal. Renting is likely best – as long as the property, the owner and amenities are well maintained. Consider a lock and leave environment. Denver Doorman and concierge buildings in downtown like at Denver's Windsor, The Spire or near Union Station can fit your short term objectives.
One unit currently available is a 2 Bed 2 Bath with mountain and Union Station views. Located on the 8th floor of the recently remodeled Windsor Tower, this home lives large. It also puts you in the pulse of Denver's revival. Unit 808 has over 1900 square feet, an incredible kitchen and essentials for both your needs and that of your existing or planned family. As a privately owned unit, your advantage is dealing with the owner directly vs a corporate call center.
Reach a MASONmodern specialist who can guide you for available rentals. Looking for a suitable investment property? MASONmodern is able to provide insight and trends where other agents and firms simply will miss. Call 303-331-6779 or contact an agent today.
