- a greedy thief,
- my own stupidity for not locking it down on the roof rack for the hour I was swimming,
- a greedy thief
True, I'd grown complacent after having survived hippy zombies and hammocks and eerie cemeteries on my trek around the island. But it SUCKS to feel like a victim. It sucks even more when one starts to play the mind game of "I should have..., could have..., WHY DIDN'T I...?" So, when that kind of inner dialogue starts I find it easier to just move on and accept that mean people inhabit this same stretch of earth, therefore I should do my best to cancel out that blackness with what delights and revitalizes me. Of course, that's usually a happy paddle on my (now missing) paddleboard so I was back to accepting the loss, until .....
At 8:30 AM my friend Joan informs me via Facebook: "Your board is in Paia and posted on Craigslist yesterday. What scumbags."
Sure enough, there it was, complete with cell number naming "Dillon" as contact. I send "Dillon" a message: "Still have SUP for sale?"
And immediately he responds:
And immediately he responds:
"Yessssss!" (apparently Dillon was in Slytherin House while at Hogwarts)
Encouraged, I race to the Hana divison of Maui Police Department (MPD) to see what law enforcement recommends in situations where stolen goods are offered for sale. There I'm interviewed by a handsome (really, it bears mentioning) Hawaiian officer who offers many observations about how hard it is to recover something as easily concealed as a surf or paddle board when every other vehicle on the island has a board rack. To his credit, Officer Gorgeous gave me his cell number so that I could text photos of the board and takes his own screenshots of my Facebook posts from Nov '14 after I bought it. He advises me:
If the seller contacts you again, try to stall him to give you time so Wailuku police* have time to set up a meeting.
And right then, another message arrives from Dillon:
"I'm in Paia, can you meet me here?!" Officer EasyOnTheEyes gives me raised eyebrows and a shoulder shrug.
Okey dokey - I'm primed for SUP search and rescue now! I wave goodbye to Hana and its handsome peace officer, and respond to "Dillon" who I've now added to contacts as "SUP Thief":
I'm at work, on the West Side (a lie, obviously) and can't get to Paia before noon & have to borrow a truck from a friend, could be a while." (all lies, please forgive me).
I'm at work, on the West Side (a lie, obviously) and can't get to Paia before noon & have to borrow a truck from a friend, could be a while." (all lies, please forgive me).
To which Sup Thief responds:
Ok, great!" I figure I must be dealing with the happiest thief ever. He uses exclamation marks with EVERY text.
Here's where we are to date:
Board stolen from Hamoa Bay in Hana
Posted on CraigsList for sale in Paia
Hana PD recommends heading straight to Wailuku PD to set up apprehension of SUP Thief
It's now 9:30 AM and I'm on the road out of Hana to Paia. Have you ever driven this road? It's crazy curvy, right? Imagine it in a Honda minivan, with a drippy egg salad sandwich in one hand and a twitchy SUP Thief buzzing the phone with "How long before you're in Paia?! texts every time there's a stray cell signal. Oh, and you have to pee really, really badly. Got that image? That was my drive. There was a certain urgency to the experience.
I arrive Wailuku Police Departement at 11:15 AM and tell the story all over again: Board stolen in Hana/on CraigsList in Paia/Contacted seller who wants to meet ... and in the middle of all this comes new text from SUP Thief:
"Can meet you at Wailuku Coffee Company!" **
The Wailuku officers (I'll call them A, B and C because that's what their last names started with) became quite energized by this information. They know the location because it's across the street from a municipal parking lot and they all enjoy coffee there. They develop a plan that involves me parking a block away from the coffee shop (in attempt to ensure the 4-wheeled crime scene that is Hobo isn't recognized), walking up to the SUP Thief and engaging him in conversation about the board, verifying that it's indeed mine, signalling Officer A when verification occurs and then stepping aside while the MPD confronts the dude. Great plan, right?
I text SUP Thief:
"Be there in 10. Who should I ask for?"
SUP Thief:
"I'll b out front ... standing ... black shirt jeans!...."
It's a "go". I drive, park, walk, and approach a man who fits the description, introducing myself as the CraigsList responder. There's no board in sight. I ask where it was and SUP Thief says he parked down the street, behind some buildings and I could check out the board if I walked there with him. Uhhhhh.... this wasn't covered in the ABC's plan. I tel SUP Thief that I'm uncomfortable leaving a public area to walk behind some buildings with a man I don't know.
I'd just finished saying this when my phone rings and I see Officer A's name on caller ID. I say the first thing that came to mind:
"Hi, honey! I'm here with the man I told you about who has a board for sale but he wants me to walk with him behind some buildings to see it. What do you think I should do?"
On the other end I can hear Officer A begin to tell his Superintendent there may be a change in plans. I hold the phone away from my face and say to SUP Thief:
"I want to buy this board and I have cash on hand but I'm not going behind any buildings with you. I'll save this parking space for you (and I step into a just-vacated spot) Why don't you bring the board back here for me to check out."
Meanwhile, Officer A, still on the phone, is asking me to describe what SUP Thief looks like and I'm doing all I can to keep from shouting back: "Just step around the corner and see for yourself"! when SUP Thief begins walking away from me, down the street.
I hang up on Officer A.
SUP Thief doesn't come back with the board.
I hang up on Officer A.
SUP Thief doesn't come back with the board.
I spent the next 15 minutes doing several things while the cops are presumably doing their own pursuit, questioning, investigating. I ask the coffee shop workers if they knew who SUP Thief was - though I called him Dillon. Then, I compose a suitably PO'd text to him about how he wasted my day since I'd had to drive over from the fictitious West Side and how'd I might STILL be interested even though I wasn't happy about being dumped.
Officer A got over being hung up on and calls me back, instructing me to meet the rest of the ABCs behind the First Hawaiian Bank building across the street from the coffee shop. There I am introduced to the Superintendent and we debrief. No one but me got a good look at SUP Thief even though there were four officers within shouting distance. There was some commiseration, more shoulder shrugs, and the suggestion that I wait a day or two before having a friend contact SUP Thief, using a different number, to try for a better result.
And then, right on cue, another message from the dude:

And then, right on cue, another message from the dude:
OK...at coffee store Kehei...Azeka mauka plaza. Have board in parking lot outside next to Peggy Sues. Can you call me! ...
The ABC's inform me that's out of their jurisdiction and that I'd need to enlist the services of Kihei PD in order to set up another meet, verify and nab activity at that location. I thank them for their time, tell them I'll head to Kihei and return to my car where I ponder the psychology of a SUP Thief who uses exclamation marks in every text message.
So I call him. And I say:
"Tell me about this board. How long have you had it. Why are you selling it."
His responses had to have sounded lame, even to himself.
I follow up with:
"You've got to know that this board was stolen from me yesterday. There's a police report filed with photos and serial number on record. The police have your phone number, your CraigsList account info, photos of you and your truck (I made up that last part) It's only a matter of time before they find you. Why don't you just turn the board over to me and I'll call the cops off."
SUP Thief tells me he'll call me back.
I immediately send him the following text message:
Please consider what the board is worth vs a felony arrest. Why don't you take it to Maui Ocean Center and leave it on the grass parking strip at the corner closest to Carl's JR. No cops will be around, you can drop it, leave and the theft report will go away.
No response.
I drive to Maui Ocean Center and wait. It's 1:45 PM. I use the time to catch up on emails and Facebook. I post the board "Stolen - Reward Offered" on CraigsList, incorporating the SUP Thief's own posting with my images, showing his contact data, stating there's a police report filed with current action to apprehend. I call Greg and tell him it was a good try but the board is gone for good. After waiting an hour, I begin driving toward West Maui and the next stage of my island exploration.
At 3:05 PM I receive the following from SUP Thief:
Board is in Kihei...at beach parking lot...it's up against a fence...on the grass...I didn't steal it!"
It takes me another 45 minutes to find the right beach park and sure enough, there against a rock wall rests my tricky, dinged-up, fantastically fun Bill Foote board. I deconstruct my carrying harness in order to have sufficient straps to secure it to the roof racks because the original straps were cut in the theft. And I drive to Safeway to buy a bottle of champagne.
*Why Wailuku PD instead of Hana PD (where the board was stolen). Because Hana is the backside of the island (and what a beautiful backside it is). Any criminal activity that occurs outside of Hana has to be handled by other divisions because of the travel logistics.
**Wailuku Coffee Company is hands down the STUPIDEST place for criminal activity to occur as it's directly across the street from a bank and next door to a pawn shop - both with surveillance cameras in place at streetside.

, the oldest physical science, is the study of motion of objects. It is applied in calculation of the path of an artillery shell, a space probe sent from earth to Mars, etc.
Everything in the universe is in motion, from the tiny electrons to the giant galaxies.
The study of motion can be broadly classified into two categories.
It deals with the path of a moving body. This branch is only concerned with describing motion (with the help of mathematics) and not with the cause of motion.
This is derived from the Greek word 'dynamis', meaning power. Dynamics involves the study of the cause of motion, which is force. When we relate motion of an object to the forces associated with it and to the properties of the moving objects, we are dealing with dynamics.
In this chapter, however, we shall define some kinematical quantities and study them for the case of motion in one, two and briefly in three dimensions. Statics is the branch of mechanics that deals with the study of motion of objects under the effect of forces in equilibrium.
Kinematics is the science of describing the motion of objects using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs, and equations. Kinematics is a branch of mechanics. The goal of any study of kinematics is to develop sophisticated mental models which serve to describe (and ultimately, explain) the motion of real-world objects. In this lesson, we will investigate the words used to describe the motion of objects. That is, we will focus on the
of kinematics. The hope is to gain a comfortable foundation with the the language which is used throughout the study of mechanics. The words listed below are used with regularity to describe the motion of objects. Your goal should be to become very familiar with their meaning.
Our study of physics begins with the concepts of mechanics: the study of motion. We will first be concerned with kinematics, or how we describe motion. From there we will move on to the causes of motion.Finally, we will apply the tools we have learned to some physiological systems.and the . The concepts in this chapter will be used throughout the rest of the course, for they are the basis for our descriptions of motion, and what is physics if not the study of moving systems?

Day 1 Setting off at last
This morning was interesting as there was more to do than we thought. I should really have put the bacon on earlier but there you go.
It was really nice to get a real send off from Gravels Bank which included a full size Italian flag and wonderful friends.
As we approached Stapeley Hill the snow became deeper than I had expected, although not much more than ankle deep for much of the hill.
The difficulties started shortly after another couple, coming in the opposite direction, said "You might have a problem in the track from Mitchell's Fold to Weston Bank!". We blundered confidently onwards until both Jnet and I ended up to our waists in snow drifts. Seeing Janet rolling about and swimming through the snow was certainly diverting.
The deep snow took longer to get through than I thought it would and we started to panic as it looked as though the pub might be shut before we got to it. The Court House Pub at Churchstoke was very welcoming and open and after a glass or two we were able to continue to the Drewin B&B and a great welcome.

Forever Young With PRP Blood Facial & Facelift
The PRP Blood Facial and Facelift is a cosmetic treatment that involves the drawing of a small amount of your own blood, refining it to constitute platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and then injecting your own PRP back into your skin to look young again.
PRP is a powerful blend of growth factors and stem cells which is injected to stimulate your body's natural healing process to slow the course of your skin's aging. This provocative therapy restores your skin as we inject growth factors in the areas of your face where your skin needs to be repaired and rejuvenated.
The PRP Blood Facial & Facelift also dramatically boosts collagen production. Collagen is key when it comes to keeping your skin youthful and wrinkle-free. Collagen is a protein produced by the cells that hold your skin together, giving it firmness and elasticity. When we're young, our skin stays plump and smooth because it constantly regenerates itself. But as we age, collagen production slows – and existing collagen can be damaged from free radicals, UV exposure, and poor skincare habits. The results? Wrinkles and sagging skin.
Fortunately, you can preserve your collagen and even boost its production with the PRP Blood Facial & Facelift. To boost collagen and rejuvenate your skin, you can choose from the following powerful anti aging treatment options at National Laser Institute Med Spa:
PRP Blood Injection: Your own PRP is injected into your skin in areas that are damaged and need to be restored.
PRP Blood Facial: Your own PRP is placed over your skin after Microneedling to smooth out wrinkles and maximize collagen production.
PRP Blood Facelift: We inject your own PRP into your skin along with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler to smooth out your wrinkles and supercharge your collagen production as well as fill in and lift facial hollows.
Ian, Marketing Director at National Laser Institute Med Spa, just had his first PRP Blood Facelift last week and says, "I'm done healing from my treatment and seriously LOVE the way my skin feels!" You're going to love the way your skin feels, too.
The PRP Blood Facial & Facelift treatments at other luxury med spa's can cost up to $1,225. National Laser Institute Med Spa is unveiling the PRP Blood Treatments starting at only $675 per treatment. We invite you to call 800.574.8377 or click here for your complimentary skin care consultation to determine which treatment is best for your skin.
Louis J. Silberman is the CEO and Co-Founder of National Laser Institute, the pioneer of the medical aesthetics training industry and one of the largest educators in the country.

Map for the route (ED50)
GPS waypoints for download (WGS84, gpx)
Distance: 1h30min/5km
There are two lookout spots before the tunnnel. You can see the bay
of Altea,
Sierra Helada, la isla de Benidorm, Villajoyosa, Alicante and the cape
of Santa Pola (south); Sierra de Aitana, Cometa, Oltà, Mascarat, and in
the front Morro de Toix (west);
Montgó and the cape of Moraira (north);
and when the weather is clear Ibiza (east). Naturally you have fine
views also over the the town of Calpe,
its harbour and beach.
The 30 meters long tunnel
(10min) (200 m) crosses the wall from west
to east. Vines, flowers and grass pop out from the cracks of the
entrance wall.
When the path forks (20min) (235 m), go right, if you want to
continue to the top (40min) (332 m), where the panorama encompasses all
the great peaks and the coastline all the way to Alicante.
Bear left, if you want to visit a projection of the east face of
Ifach. It takes five minutes to reach the tip of the projection with
views to the cape of San Antonio behind the tip of Moraira and to the
last foothills of the Peñon. Here you can observe the sea gulls from a
short distance. Large colonies breed and raise their young on the rocks.
You can watch them resting on the
cliffs, gliding low on the sea and
swooping down into the water.

French Potato Salad with Dijon Mustard and Fines Herbes
If fresh chervil isn't available, substitute an additional 1/2 tablespoon of minced parsley and an additional 1/2 teaspoon of tarragon. For best flavor, serve the salad warm, but to make ahead, follow the recipe through step 2, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Before serving, bring the salad to room temperature, then add the shallots and herbs.
Serves 6 as a side dish
2 pounds small red potatoes (about 2-inch diameter), unpeeled, scrubbed, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons table salt
1 medium clove garlic , peeled and threaded on skewer
1 1/2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small shallot , minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon minced fresh chervil leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
1. Place potatoes, 6 cups cold tap water, and salt in large saucepan; bring to boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Lower skewered garlic into simmering water and partially blanch, about 45 seconds. Immediately run garlic under cold tap water to stop cooking; remove garlic from skewer and set aside. Continue to simmer potatoes, uncovered, until tender but still firm (thin-bladed paring knife can be slipped into and out of center of potato slice with no resistance), about 5 minutes. Drain potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Arrange hot potatoes close together in single layer on rimmed baking sheet.
2. Press garlic through garlic press or mince by hand. Whisk garlic, reserved potato cooking water, vinegar, mustard, oil, and pepper in small bowl until combined. Drizzle dressing evenly over warm potatoes; let stand 10 minutes.
3. Toss shallot and herbs in small bowl. Transfer potatoes to large serving bowl; add shallot/herb mixture and mix gently with rubber spatula to combine. Serve immediately.

People who have experienced homelessness need more than just a roof.
They need help to overcome the difficulties they face, and opportunities to develop their confidence and skills.
To maintain this, they need to find a safe place within a community, with positive and supportive relationships. Last year we helped more than 3,500 people in over 100 projects by funding training, group activities, travel expenses, clothing and other bespoke support.
Church Homeless Trust helps people without a home to rebuild their lives. It takes a huge amount of support to make the journey from sleeping rough to establishing a home.
We fund peer-led support and outreach to help rough sleepers off the streets, and pay for essentials when people arrive in hostels for the first time.
Being homeless robs people of their self-esteem and hopes for the future. Our support helps them to gain confidence and build positive relationships.
To break the cycle of homelessness people need to feel that they have something worthwhile to offer. Our funding helps them to develop skills.
It can take a long time for someone to be able to move into a home of their own. When they are ready, our funding helps them turn a bare flat into a home.

Heat Guy J is very unrealistic. It is a ridiculous background to show off some bland, sympathetic characters. Even I like these characters, and I hate just about everything.
Why do I like this show so much more than so many other anime shows?
Because the characters have responsibilities.
The protagonist is probably 15 or 16; his tsundere love interest is similarly young. But both of them do grown-up jobs as police. If they were in high school, I would not have bothered to watch their slow but inevitable romance.
Conversely, Tatami Galaxy is critically acclaimed and artistically beautiful, and it doesn't engage me. The characters are essentially infantilized, even though they are in college. Likewise, Shaft's very popular Nisemonogatari did not win my loyalty, because the hero is infantilized and useless, but still gets to hang out with pretty girls despite his tremendous uselessness.
A lot of shows for teenage audiences suck because they show an unrealistic transition from infantilized passivity to responsible action. For boys, this often means, "You were stuck in a boring high school, but now you've been handed the keys to a mech, and the bad guys are invading in even bigger mechs." For girls, this often means, "You were stuck in a boring high school, but now you've been handed a magical girl's wand, and the bad guys are teleporting in from the Negaverse." Two noteworthy shows that bring realism to infantilized passivity are Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou and Tonari no Seki-kun. The first confronts the passivity with humor and the second goes from passivity to active goofing off. Those two shows are watchable because they are entirely humor-based.
Note that "responsibilities" are sometimes more interesting when they are not confronted. Welcome to the NHK features a protagonist who fails to engage with his responsibilities. It's a very interesting and engaging show, because it shows a realistic failure to behave like an adult. A much more cheerful show is Arslan Senki, in which the protagonist realistically fails to be a hero because he is a 14-year-old boy surrounded by highly competent adults. An example of Arslan's failure is his misguided attempt to free slaves who are not psychologically prepared for freedom. Arslan fails for the right reasons, but he never fails too badly, and his companions always take care of him. Arslan also has the initiative to take action and act like an adult in many respects (e.g. basic riding and sword-fighting), so he's not an entirely useless waste of space like Araragi Koyomi.

The number of people entering religious life has tripled over the last eight years, according to revised figures from the National Office for Vocation. Last year 64 people joined religious orders, compared to just 19 in 2004. It seems like the long decline in vocations has been reversed.
In much of Europe, the decline continues. In France, for instance, the total number of novices fell by a third from 2004 to 2011 (from 311 to 204). So what's the secret – what is Britain doing differently?
1. Pope Benedict XVI's visit
Vocations officials say they owe a lot to Benedict XVI's visit to Britain in 2010. Sister Cathy Jones, religious life promoter of the National Office for Vocation, says it strengthened people's faith and pride at being Catholic. "People who had been discerning a good number of years thought, 'I'll give this a go'," she says.
2. A culture of vocation
Fr Christopher Jamison, director of the National Office for Vocation, says that, in the early 2000s, "lots of different people woke up to the same idea" – that is, that everyone had a vocation, whether that's to be a priest, a religious, a single or married person. "Vocation" simply means to live out the baptismal call to holiness. A "culture of vocation" is what Catholic culture ideally should be.
This is the idea that vocations ministry is built on. And it leads directly to numbers three and four…
3. Discernment groups
Discernment groups have sprung up all over the country. These help people decide what their particular path to holiness will be. They come in various forms, from the national Invocation festival to the Compass programme, run by religious orders, to local Samuel groups. Many religious orders also run their own "come and see" weekends, where interested people can get a taste of religious life.
Fr Stephen Langridge, vocations director at Southwark, says: "It's not about trying to recruit people – it's about making people better disciples."
The Church used to act like a recruitment agency, with adverts on posters and beer mats. That seems to be a thing of the past.
4. Vocations directors
Vocations ministry has expanded enormously in recent years. Fr Langridge says that when he was thinking about becoming a priest years ago he saw his vocations director just once. Now, he says, "I wouldn't let someone apply if I haven't spent 100 hours with them".
Fr Jamison says religious orders used to have the idea that they should only pray for vocations. "If you did more than that it showed a lack of faith in God," he says. Now, he explains, a "significant number" of religious orders have full-time vocations directors. That means they can engage much more with people who are interested in religious life.

About Diabetes
Diabetes now affects 7% of the US population. As blood sugar levels continue to rise, so does research into natural ways to help regulate glucose levels. Studies show that minerals such as chromium, bitotin, and zinc help regulate glucose levels and may even support insulin production.
Featured Reviews for Diabetes
After taking Diamaxol for only 12 days my blood sugar was averaging around 103. It was a pleasant surprise to see how quickly my body responded to Diamaxol. My wife, who is a medical doctor, was even more surprised. I took only 1 capsule at breakfast and 1 at dinner, after a few days I added 1 to my lunch.

Bitter Melon
This is a secret I learned while studying in India: Bitter Melon, one of the six tastes (sweet, bitter, astringent, salty, sour, spicy) is missing in the Western Diet. Missing this taste is often why we overeat the salty and sweet foods in life. I often recommend a source of bitter tastes and Bitter Gourd is a great supplement for this.

There's a lot of talk these days about world leaders who never leave their posts. Some in America question whether that could happen here.
After World War I, Germany lost its military superiority. The country was defeated and downhearted. German crowds listened when Adolph Hitler spoke to them in Munich beer halls. Although his speeches were rants, he gained such a large following, his party gained a majority in the German parliament (the Reichstag), and Hitler rose to became Germany's prime minister. Then, Germany's president died. Upon President von Hindenburg's death, as prime minister, Hitler slipped into the role of Germany's head of state. There was no election. Hitler was never elected president. The rest is history. A very bad history. One that must never be repeated. Suellen Ocean is the author of The Steinberg Conspiracy Series. Available here:

Puerto Rican-American television actor Esai Morales who played a Latino President on an HBO series told TMZ that he is considering a vote for Donald Trump. Morales' reason? Trump's suggestion that autism is caused by vaccinations, which Morales had spoken passionately about at an autism summit that was held last year.
At Give Autism A Chance 2015, Morales participated in a panel discussion that included former GOP congressman Dave Weldon and which was moderated by much-maligned British doctor Andrew Wakefield. There Morales took a very strong position both that vaccines cause autism and that this fact continues to be covered up by the federal government. He was also fully aware of the government scientist Dr. William Thompson who has spoken out about his colleagues hiding data, which Donald Trump has tweeted about.
Crooked Hillary Clinton, in stark contrast, takes the position that questioning vaccines is akin to questioning the color of the sky and the shape of the earth. Her running mate signed into law the mandate of an STD shot for sixth-graders and the now-disgraced chair of the Democratic National Committee said "any risk" from childhood vaccines has been "disproven". She's now an "honorary chair" of Crooked Hillary's campaign. On vaccines, Crooked Hillary's position could not be more different than Donald Trump's.
Esai Morales told TMZ he was initially resistant to the idea of a Trump presidency, but would reconsider "because of his stance on vaccines". The actor even hinted at a possible future endorsement, despite stopping short of one during the interview. Morales' reconsideration would come as no surprise to anyone in attendance at the 2015 autism summit he expressed his outrage to, although he agreed with his interviewer that being Latino and supporting Trump was "odd".
Nonetheless, polls and rally turnout both suggest otherwise. In fact, Trump outperforms the two previous GOP nominees for support among Latinos in the latest polls. And in the Republican National Convention which Autism Investigated live-streamed, signs reading "LATINOS PARA TRUMP" were common among the audience. Autism Investigated also witnessed firsthand numerous Latinos among the large crowd of supporters who showed up at a recent Trump rally in The Woodlands, TX. By all indicators, Trump appears to have attracted Latino supporters rather than alienate them.
In the brief TMZ interview, Esai Morales did acknowledge one strength of Trump's that knows no party lines and that may help him more generally with Latinos: "He's a showman, and we like our entertainment." Like showmanship, Trump's stance on vaccine safety has been yet another way for him to reach across the party divide to people who otherwise would not support him. Autism Investigated hopes Morales hops on the Trump Train to better the chances that the people behind the crooked vaccine program will soon hear those two well-deserved words: "You're fired!"

I awoke Wednesday morning on day 5 of my 8 day bike tour of coastal central California, greeted by the sound of the waves crashing on the cliffs below my tent at Kirk Creek campground. The morning weather was very damp fog, classic Big Sur, so my gear was pretty wet but manageable.
I was on a schedule that day. I would ride up to the closure on Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) at Gorda, closed due to the Mud Creek slide, and meet a shuttle that would take me around the closure and drop me off on the other side. It would take me about an hour to ride to Gorda. The shuttle ride would take 3 hours, then I had 45 miles of riding to finish the day. It would be fast with a big descent followed by flat roads and a good tailwind. I needed to stop in the biggest town of the day, Cambria, for supplies. My schedule would be tight but I refused to stress about it and just take it as it happened. I packed up and said good-bye to the few fellow campers that were awake that early and I was on my way.
My shuttle passed me a couple of miles before Gorda. The driver, Mandy recognized me from my description and pulled over. We introduced ourselves and I had her drive ahead as I rode the rest of the way. I was not going to miss the chance to ride PCH as an abandoned road.
Mandy was a friendly and knowledgeable host. I tried to help as much as I could but she insisted on lifting my bike onto the roof of her car, and she remarked on how light my bike was for a touring bike. She had shuttled many touring bikes as a tour guide, but she said mine was among the lightest. She probably says that to all the bikers. We agreed that we liked the lighter style better.
Whenever I stop in Gorda I take a picture of gas prices at the pump for fun. I usually post it to Facebook and freak people out. It may be the highest price gas in the country, but I have no problem with this. Getting gas there would be expensive. And you don't need to fill up. A few gallons will get you to more affordable gas. And simple supply and demand is a great thing. The gas station there could lower prices and people might buy more, but they may just not want to hassle with getting more gas. It is up to the vendor how they want to manage supply, and prices are a natural, bureaucracy free and easy way to control it.
No one else signed up for the shuttle so it was just Mandy and me for the ride. I learned that Mandy was in the process of stepping down from a leadership role of an environmental organization. I never got around to asking her which organization, I was too interested in hearing her talk about the various birds, deer and fish in the area and the efforts of the organization to restore and protect wildlife.
We got delayed by the traffic at the "Lightning in a Bottle" music festival. Had I known that The Glitch Mob and Emancipator were there I might have considered checking it out. Mandy eventually cut around the traffic that had backed up onto the main road. But with the delay, the longish ride ahead of me, and the need to get supplies, I made the decision to have her drop me off in the lovely coastal town of Cambria rather than drive back up the coast to the other side of the slide. It cut out about 20 miles of riding, and my body was telling me that it needed an easy ride that day. The next day would be my longest day with the most climbing and didn't want to push it. I missed part of PCH with low traffic, but I did not regret the decision to take it easy that day.
While in Cambria I needed to find another fuel canister for my stove and I wanted to stock up for dinner. I got recommendations from Mandy about where to get what I needed.
The food was easy. I got the biggest deli sandwich ever at Sandy's Deli and stashed it away for later. The fuel was another matter. I needed an isobutane canister, which have many advantages, but ease of finding replacements is not one of them. You pretty much have to go to a dedicated camping store. Though you might find one at a hardware store that has a few camping supplies, like the Cambria True Value store. It was a large canister but I could hardly be choosy in my situation.
I came upon the tiny village of Harmony just a few miles down the road. I took Mandy's advice and stopped there. I have passed it many times, laughing at the posted population of 18 and never thinking about stopping. It is worth it for the stunning glass shop alone. On a weekend you could also check out the dairy and ice cream truck, a pottery shop and a "visitors center" with free coffee.
I continued south. The scenery was rolling grassy hills and ocean views. Morro Rock was visible most of the time, and I featured it in many of my pictures.
Like Harmony, I had driven by Cayucos many times and not stopped. Staying with my plan, I pedaled slowly through the lovely little town. It had a pier, a beach and a quaint downtown area. I stopped at the local liquor store. It can be hard to find the right size bottle of Jack Daniels when you are riding, but Paul's Liquor Store, while simply named, had what I needed.
Morro Strand was an interesting campground. It did not have Hike or Bike sites, so I reserved a tent site for full price. The spot I selected was as close to the ocean as I could get, with just a low bluff between me and the bay. It gave me some awesome scenery but it was not without issues. My campsite was 100% sand. So it was hard to pitch my tent and keep my gear clean. And many people thought this was a nice view, including the neighborhood that was only a few hundred yards away, perched above the campground. They looked over the campground as part of their ocean view. And many of the homes were all windows on the side facing the us. I just pretended they weren't there. The campground had no showers, but they did have an enclosed bathroom with flush toilets and sinks. Omitting showers seemed odd. The campground seemed to be designed for RVs with tent sites being an afterthought.
After setting up camp I rode around the area for yet more supplies and sightseeing. The summer days were long, and I found myself going down with the sun. I feel asleep early and slept well once again, ready for the next day of my tour.

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in Mexico MO
Who has the best Mexico debt consolidation services?
Mexico consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Mexico loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Mexico debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Mexico loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Mexico consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in Missouri to find Mexico credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Mexico MO. The reason the best place to find Mexico debt consolidation lenders in Missouri is because you will be able to find the right Mexico lender for you. Your local Mexico banks may not specialize in the right Mexico consolidation loans for you or have Missouri lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best Missouri debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Mexico loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in Mexico MO
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Mexico banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in Missouri with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Mexico debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Mexico credit counseling programs. These Mexico loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Mexico loan. Your Missouri credit rating, your ability to repay the Mexico loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Mexico bank policies on Missouri lending will determine if you get a Mexico consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Mexico Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Mexico loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard Missouri loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Mexico monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Mexico loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Mexico Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Mexico debt consolidation lenders may give you Mexico loan consolidation. Unsecured Mexico loans are the riskiest loans to give by a Missouri lender. This is because if the Mexico loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Mexico banks do for Mexico debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Mexico loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Mexico loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Mexico credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Mexico bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBS 2) — A man claims he was the victim of a training mission – the target of a 12-year-old boy being taught by older kids how to steal.
The victim recounted the gunpoint attack in an exclusive interview with CBS 2's Derricke Dennis on Tuesday.
It was frightening encounter at gunpoint. A 27-year-old man said he was followed down the street last Friday, confronted, held up and patted down.
"He was just holding the gun right here," the victim said, demonstrating. "He was just checking my front pockets, my back pockets, and front pockets."
The man said he was robbed of everything — by a trio of teenagers. Flyers described the youngest as being around 12 and the oldest around 17.
"It looked like as if the two older guys was teaching the younger kid how to rob people, you know, like gang or something," the victim said.
CBS 2 protected his identity, but he talked about the disturbing attack on 5th Street between Erie and Jersey avenues. He retraced his steps, outraged at how young, how bold, and how armed the teenagers were.
"Two of them had guns, yes, so, yeah, it was pretty scary I would say," the victim said.
He said his wallet with cash, a cell phone, his bank card, student ID, and work authorization card, costing close to $400, were all swiped.
"More than the cash, I'm more worried about the cards, because it's really a long process to get the driver's license back, and the work authorization card back and everything," the victim said.
After the late-night attack, the victim said he got in touch with the neighborhood association, which posted the flyers all around, hoping someone saw the attack or might have surveillance video of the young thugs.
"There was a risk that it could have ended badly, so I didn't take any chances," the victim said.
So, there was no fighting back and not even a look at the trio of robbers. A gun to the temple showed how threatening a robbery can be, at any age.
Jersey City police are looking for robbers, and have officers patrolling the area.

When a brand represents a story, the consumer is invested in its success. Brand success is reliant upon the story.
The 4 E's become possible for brands presented in a storytelling framework. The brevity restrictions placed upon marketers by the social media matrix only enhance the longevity of brand storytelling impression.
Marketers will Excite the customer, educate the customer, create opportunity for the customer to experience the product or service, and engage the customer through brand storytelling via the on-line and social media experience.
Marketing motivations of hitting the 4 E's are highlighted in this video from D&AD.
The included PodTech.net video is packed with statistics supporting brand storytelling and focuses marketers on the disposition to become conscientious of cost per engagement. This is a transition from a cost per click focus.
Brand storytelling becomes engagement most quickly where–in the virtual world–related conversations are already happening. This is a transition from the traditional marketing thought of organically creating the conversation and the environment where–physically and virtually–that conversation will happen.
This PodTech.net video offers a demonstration on marketing strategies achieved through valuable brand storytelling content.
In the article "The Art of Corporate Storytelling," Stavros Papagianneas discusses the importance and seamless application of traditional journalism standards in the realm of on-line media and social media. This wise–olfactory-driven–beagle knows how to sniff out a good story in the traditional world. Hi can alter his storytelling modality for the on-line and social media world, while utilizing his traditional narrative principles
Shanna Mallon succinctly points out in her, "Digital Storytelling Techniques, " article that brand storytelling through on-line and the social media matrix can show consumers the "human side" of a brand.

Avanti Ultra Review: Wet to Dry Flat IronWednesday, October 13th, 2010
Frizzy hair has been OUT since the 80's, and sometimes you just want ultra smooth hair. That's where the genius of a hair straightener comes in. Before these were popular, I knew a girl in high school who would literally take an iron to her hair! (Which I guess is creative, but also seems like it was dangerous.)
The Flat Iron Experts sent me the Avanti Ultra, Wet to Dry Nano-Titanium, Nano-Silver and Nano-Ceramic Digital Flat Iron (1″ inch) AV-TITAN Nano Croc. For short, we just call it the Avanti Ultra Wet to Dry Flat Iron. Easy, peasy. And using it was equally as easy…and…peasy? Sure!
I love the idea of not needing to wait for completely dry hair. With this, you can use it on wet hair, and they say you can even expect some steam to happen. But you aren't supposed to use it on straight-from-the-shower hair that's dripping wet. No, no, no! You should let your hair dry a bit first, especially near your roots.
I don't think the straightening process really begins until your hair IS kinda dry, so if you spend a lot of time using it to dry your hair R ... Read More

Betty White and Rap: Together At Last
Like us on Facebook:The current article you are reading does not reflect the views of the current editors and contributors of the new Ecorazzi
Betty White is quickly approaching 90, but that hasn't stopped her from shaking her "cheesecake" and starring a new rap video thing with British singer Luciana. It's all part of a promo for "The Lifeline Program", which helps those seniors interested in making some cash through the sale of their unwanted insurance policies. Proceeds from sales of the song (which I can't imagine will be tremendous) will benefit White's beloved Los Angeles Zoo.

Ayn Rand and Austrian Economics
I left a comment today at the Mises Economics Blog, in response to Stefan Karlsson's post, "Randians Go From Mises to Supply-Side Economics." In it, I refer to a forthcoming symposium in The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, highlighting the relationship between Ayn Rand and Austrian economics. Larry J. Sechrest and I have written an introduction to this symposium (part two of our Centenary tribute), which examines the "anti-Austrian turn" among some Randian writers.

Save the Children U.S. Programs
April 13, 2017
Dayla is in the 1st grade and participates in our sponsorship and in-school literacy programs in her town in Mississippi. Dayla is normally quiet but gets very excited when she hears from her sponsors. Reading the letters and drafting her replies have helped to expand her vocabulary and improve her reading skills. She loves that her sponsor encourages her to do well in school.
This is Dayla's first year being enrolled in school and Save the Children programs have been a big help with that transition. Since participating, she's became more eager to go to school and especially to attend the programs. She has begun talking and participating more in class. Dayla has also been paired with a Foster Grandparent which provides another supportive relationship. And we all know how important supportive, caring relationships are to children's development. Dayla is excited to improve her reading skills and has made many new friends in the programs.
Dayla's self-esteem has improved dramatically since she began school. She has become much more confident and has a positive outlook about school. Her mom is pleased with her progress. Her mom shared, "Save the Children has really been a great help for my child. My child used to be very quiet and not eager to read, but now she's participating more in class and improving her reading skills." Dayla has had a successful first year of school thanks to the support of sponsorship and in-school literacy programs.

Yesterday morning was still quite windy with intermittent drizzle, so we waited it out and by 11 the wind had died down and we decided to leave Catalina Spa to make our way towards Death Valley. Concerned that it might be too hot in Death Valley to dry camp and leave the cats in the Lazy Daze while we go off sightseeing and hiking all day, a couple weeks ago I began checking recreation.gov multiple times a day, and finally lucked into a three night cancelation at Furnace Creek campground for a full hookup site beginning today, March 8. We didn't want to make the 283 mile drive in one day, so yesterday we drove about 190 miles to Silurian Dry Lake, BLM land about 20 miles north of Baker, CA.
There is absolutely nothing here but us, which means it's amazingly quiet. We found a few flowers and creosote bushes on our walk through the dry lake bed.
And watched the sunset over the Avawatz Mountains.
The ground is hard and level enough that we didn't have to disconnect the car so it's a great place to overnight. And we have good Verizon 4G, which we will be losing as we enter Death Valley today. I hope to be able to post a few photos using the wifi at the visitor center. We would like to stay beyond our three night reservation, depending on the weather, so we may be out of touch for awhile. That is if Jim can stand being away from the internet. We'll see.

Many members of our Creighton Community have embarked on Spring Break service trips across the country. I am actually stranded due to a snowstorm at a McDonald's in the middle of Nebraska. But, we'll get to Denver, never fear!
As we anticipate our time hanging out with people living on the streets of Denver, I am thinking of this quote from Parker Palmer's "To Know as We Are Known." It is a beautifully worded reminder to be open to everything–especially the difficult–and to respond with our lives. Travel safely friends, and know that if we encounter things well, we'll be changed:
"Hospitality is a central virtue of the…biblical tradition itself, where God is always using the stranger to introduce us to strangeness of truth. To be inhospitable to strangers or strange ideas, however unsettling they may be, is to be hostile to the possibility of truth; hospitality is not only an ethical virtue but an epistemological one as well…Hospitality is not an end in itself. It is offered for the sake of what it can allow, permit, encourage, and yield. A learning space needs to be hospitable not to make learning painless, but to make the painful things possible, things without which no learning can occur—things like exposing ignorance, testing tentative hypotheses, challenging false or partial information, and mutual criticism of thought. Each of these is essential to obedience to truth. But none of them can happen in an atmosphere where people feel threatened and judged."
-Parker J. Palmer, To Know as We Are Known

The webinar will be staged April 25 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and hosted by attorney Kimberly A. Klimczuk of Skoler, Abbott & Presser, P.C., in conjunction with BLR. A live Q&A will follow the presentation.
"Organizations that don't strictly follow the rules regarding compensation for work-related travel, on-call time or training that could be at legal risk," said Klimczuk.
Topics covered during the webinar will include:

- When training programs are considered compensable — and whether they qualify for overtime;
- What to consider when determining an employee's overtime rate;
- Compensation for non-exempt employees who work beyond their regular shift and perform legitimate work activities;
- When pay for on-call time is required (and how much), and when it's not; and
- Best practices for drafting effective travel/overtime/on-call policies.
Those interested in registering for the course can do so online at HR Hero® Store or by calling (800) 274-6774.
Klimczuk concentrates her practice on labor law and employment litigation including negotiating collective bargaining agreements and advising on contract interpretation; representing clients in labor arbitration; and successfully defending clients in state and federal court and before administrative agencies in a variety of areas of employment law, including wage/hour law, discrimination, harassment, wrongful discharge and breach of contract.

10 Inspirational Quotes from Functional Rustic. Follow Functional Rustic and see all that Functional Rustic has to offer. Handcrafted Décor, Quotations, Tutorials and so much more.
- I got my own back.
2. Trust you struggle.
3. I trust the universe to bring me everything I need in the right time.
4. I thought I was pretty cool until I realized that plants can eat the sun and poop out air.
5. Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.
Wooden Thank You Card PURPLE
Measures 3.5 in x 3.5 in x 5/8 in. The handmade Wooden Thank You Card by Functional Rustic is the unique thank you gift you didn't know you were looking for until now. The Functional Rustic Wooden Thank You Card is small enough to fit in your pocket and durable enough to take with you wherever you go. PLUS, the Wooden Thank You Card is made from a salvaged wood shipping pallet and then hand painted with oil paints. Every single Wooden Thank You Card is unique making each card a truly one-of-a-kind expression of gratitude.
6. Together we can achieve more.
7. Trust the overthinker who tells you they love you. They have, most assuredly, thought of every reason not to.
8. I know the easy option is to keep waiting until you are 'ready' but it's going to get to a point where you realise that 'someday' is today and that there is no right time. Ignore the fear of failure and jump when you need to. It's better to fail than to not try at all.
9. I walk around like everything is fine, but deep down, inside my shoe, my sock is falling off.
10. "Trauma permanently changes us." This is the big, scary truth about trauma: there is no such thing as "getting over it." The five stages of grief model marks universal stages in learning to accept loss, but the reality is in fact much bigger: a major life disruption leaves a new normal in its wake. There is no "back to the old me." You are different now, full stop.
This is not a wholly negative thing. Healing from trauma can also mean finding new strength and joy. The goal of healing is not a papering-over of changes in an effort to preserve or present things as normal. It is to acknowledge and wear your life – warts, wisdom, and all – with courage.

ORANGE PARK, Fla. – An apparent real estate scheme has an Orange Park man fed up and unable to move.
Don Rammon is on a fixed income and recently divorced. He needed a smaller place to cut down on his bills. He thought his home was sold and he could finally move.
Rammon said the buyer was nice and wanted to help, so he signed some papers.
"He says, 'Yeah, we'll do a contract.' So he did this contract for me to agree to the sale," Rammon said.
The contract first had the house at $220,000. Then the buyer said he wanted it for $180,000; then $166,000. Rammon said when he refused to sell at that price, the buyer and an escrow company put a lien on his home so he can't sell it to anyone else for 10 years.
"I can't even (get it) listed. And I have a contract on another home and I'm supposed to take the money from that move over there," Rammon said. "He is holding my house hostage."
Experts said this same thing happens all over. Someone offers to buy your home, you sign the papers, and then find out if you don't sell it to them, you legally can't sell it to anyone else.
"I don't think it's illegal but I don't think it's very moral," said real estate attorney John Moss who looked over the case and is familiar with the tactics.
Moss said the prospective buyer likely took a real estate course that promises quick easy money. An investor buys the property, ties it up legally and then tries to sell it for more without putting any money in.
"They go out and find a buyer, they get him to sign up all the documents and record them as public records resulting in that property not being able to be sold to anyone else for a certain amount of time, in this case, 10 years," Moss said.
Moss said it's taking advantage of unsuspecting people.
The investor behind Rammon's home said this was no scam -- it's a legitimate investment. He did admit he learned the technique from a real estate investors class.
"I think if he does it here, he is going to do it in another place," Rammon said. "He probably took the weekend course (on) how to flip a house and turning around and he's got me really handcuffed since March."
The escrow company behind the tactics did not answer or return calls about this transaction. Rammon said he thinks a lawsuit is his only option.
Experts recommend only using a licensed Realtor or real estate attorney when buying or selling.

Dear Tashi,
Apparently you may have missed several of the great posts made by myself and by many other users that have already clearly established that Spybot is in fact not the cause of this problem. Obviously, the problem is with Zonemap handling in Outlook, and of course Spybot is a contributor due to its Immunization feature. I think you would be doing this message board a great service is you would review its posts a bit more thoroughly before attempting to question them.
I have done a tremendous job of isolating the causes of this problem and sharing them with the rest of this message board. I do not appreciate your attempt to negate everything that I have worked for by reiterating facts that have already been established. Perhaps if you were more attentive and thorough, this would not be an issue.
Furthermore, I do not appreciate your attempt to regulate my opinions, as what I posted was both fair and necessary. Your lack of professionalism, the pusillanimous nature of some of your posters (although not all, I am sure), and your inability to tolerate my candor are suspect and infuriating. As such, I will immediately resign my account with the Spybot forums, and I will leave the responsibility of dissecting and solving this issue to your team. Seeing as how you have made absolutely no progress until this thread was formed, I expect no results.
The readers of this thread may thank you for prolonging this problem, Tashi.
-Ronald Reagan
