23rd November 2013 Left Cape Town and headed north to the Namaqua National Park. I thought I must have missed the last left turn and ended up at Oodnadatta. It was a bit basic on first impression, however after settling in had a nice braai in front of a rural panorama.
24th November 2013 In the morning we took the back road to the town of Springbok and practiced our orienteering in the remote parts of Namaqua, which has a sparse beauty. This was practice for Mongolia. We reached Namibia mid afternoon with brief formalities. Small anecdote coming up. We had received our visa and had the Carnet stamped and were informed that we had to pay a road levy. Small problem. No money. “That’s OK,” said the customs man, “I will come with you to the garage down the road to an ATM”. He wanted to get his lunch and so we drove to the garage to find the ATM. “Out of order” on the screen. No money available at the checkout and the cashier informed me that the nearest ATM was 300 kilometres away. “Oh no”. My customs man stepped in and it turned out that the aforementioned ATM was in fact 300 metres away. Got the money. He got his lunch.
We and continued to Ai-Ais National Park. The temperature was 50 degrees centigrade outside but by 8.30pm had decreased to a cool 36 degrees. Judy fainted into my arms in the restaurant from heat exhaustion, but came around quickly just as I was about to clear her airway, recovered, and we continued the meal as if nothing had happened.
29th November 2013 I am now sitting looking out across the desert of the Skeleton Coast. We arrived at the gates of the Skeleton Coast National Park half an hour after they closed for the day, 3pm. The officer who mans this outpost has allowed us to camp here, thanks to Judy’s powers of persuasion, next to his house overnight, until the gates open tomorrow at 7.30am.
Backtracking now just a little. We have been to the Fish River Canyon, which was spectacular, being the second biggest canyon in the world, I always thought it was Glen Davis near Newnes back in NSW.
The Hollywood of Namibia. At Luderitz we tried to see the abandoned German town but could not even get out of the car due to the sand storm. I wonder why they abandoned it?
Limped into Walvis Bay having experienced a really bad stretch of 800 Ks. One tyre almost bald at 6000 K’s of its life and a flat on the other side. The basic wage here is 5 Nabimian dollars per hour or 50 cents in our money, so to fix a puncture and change another wheel cost me 55 cents.
The last 230 K’s to get up here to the Skeleton coast has been sand and a grey, green Atlantic ocean with a constant haze which sometimes makes it hard to discern the horizon, and, it is only about 20 degrees. Surprising to me, as we are quite a way north of the Tropic of Capricorn. This stretch is bleak and I can imagine a shipwreck survivor would have had no chance. There are many shipwrecks here.
We came upon a colony of seals at Cape Cross during birthing season with lots of young already flopping about. You could walk along a fenced boardwalk where the seals were all around, literally at our feet. There was even a seal on the boardwalk but I think it was dead, didn’t want to get too close to it though, in case it woke up. In fact there were quite a few dead ones amongst the 100,000 or more of them. The stench was stupendous and I could only take it for a few minutes. Sitting here in the warm afternoon sun has turned into quite a chill now at 6pm:        that’s a desert for you.

5th November 2013 We had arrived back in South Africa and were on our way to Queenstown for the night when we came upon a roadblock 30K’s south of the town of Craddock. We waited and waited but there was no movement and the queue behind us ever increasing when a road construction vehicle came along and told us that the road would be closed for at least another three hours. This is a major highway were talking about. Rather than wait we decided to take an alternative route, what could possibly go wrong? We spent four hours and used quite a bit of diesel to end up catching up to the truck that had been parked in front of us in the queue. We did see some nice backcountry though.
Finally arriving at Queenstown there were no camping areas to be found and we drove around and around trying to find some accommodation when Judy spotted a well-hidden sign to Roydon camping.  This turned out to be a nature reserve and as we had booked in quite late, the owner upgraded our accommodation to a luxury cabin, which gave us unexpected R&R break to a long day.
6th November 2013 Stayed at The Aardvark Guesthouse/Camping area, which we would recommend. It had an organic restaurant next door, Hazels, which promoted permaculture but also served many kinds of carnivorous delights such as antelope, ostrich and other meats. I had springbok and wildebeest and Judy had springbok and kudu. I seem to remember when Judy was a vegetarian. It also had a talking menu in the form of Hazel’s partner, a large Canadian who repeated the unique and intricate daily menu to each diner. What a memory!
7th November 2013 Arrived at Tsitskamma National Park, which is on the southern coast about 700k’s east of Cape Town. There was a very strong wind at the spot we were allocated, right next to the ocean, and it would have been great on a calmer day. Judy reconnoitred and found a cosy spot out of the wind on a cliff top overlooking the ocean, perfect. We had a Braai, read barbeque, of kudu sausage (kudu is a kind of antelope) with wine to wash it down. I serenaded Judy with my guitar, much to her delight  $^&%@! and we watched the waves crash down spectacularly on to the crags below. We were also treated to a lightshow courtesy of the local fireflies or at least that’s what I think they were, and no, it wasn’t after six Castle lagers.
8th November 2013 South Africans speak several languages i.e. Afrikaans, English and a local indigenous language such as,say, Zulu, that seem to be interchangeable, even mid sentence. A good example of this was when we stayed at the Wilderness National Park. We were sitting, relaxing by the river when along came two men paddling upstream in their canoes speaking loudly in Afrikaans. Twenty minutes later they returned speaking loudly in English. I admire their linguistics as I myself can have trouble with just one langidge. (My little joke)
Winding our way along the garden route, it truly is it’s name, we ended up at the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas, not as many people think, the Cape of Good Hope. It is where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic, though in all truth I could not make out where one started and the other finished. We camped at the local camping area in town and before too long a lady came along and invited us for a wine at her house across the road. Alana and Christian entertained us with stories and local history and some kudu boerewors braai. We also sampled some wine, made by their son, which was exceptional.
9th November 2013 Alana and Christian bade us farewell at 8am and helped me with my flat battery. Thank you for that.
10th November 2013 We have arrived in Cape Town and already have a good impression. Table Mountain is a spectacular backdrop to a beautiful city. Still have some chores to do here such as replace a windscreen, yep the little stone chip from Durban turned into a huge crack which I could have lived with except that I have to get a roadworthy certificate locally to reregister our car back in OZ, and a new battery.
17th November 2013 The roadworthy certificate that we needed to reregister the car is harder to obtain than we thought, as we are not on the South African system. All we could obtain was a full mechanical inspection by a government approved testing station. In Australia this is called “going over the pits” and it really is the pits as any minute problem is picked up. In our case it was a blessing as some damaged and missing bolts, holding the rear bumper on, were detected. I was also astonished to find that the steering and brakes also needed some serious attention as I had had a full, “pre major trip”, service done on the car just before we left.
All of this is a bit boring as we have to wait for parts to come from Johannesburg and we are itching to get going. We will have been here well over a week by the time we restart, but can’t think of a better place to be stuck in.
We have now seen a lot of Cape Town and have really enjoyed our stay here. We took ourselves on a self drive tour of the coast south west of Cape Town and this shoreline is magnificent, reminiscent of Big Sur in California, with very winding, cliff edge, roads and rustic villages such as Simon’s Town as we plied our way to the Cape of Good Hope.
One regret was missing our trip to Robben Island, the prison Nelson Mandela was held in for many years. We had purchased our tickets the day before, at the wharf, and set out early the next day to ensure that we arrived at the wharf by 11am. We are staying at a camping area about 25k’s north of the city and we set off at 8am thinking that three hours would be sufficient time to get there, WRONG. We arrived at the wharf ten minutes after the ferry left, and no refunds. Ouch!
I have now discovered that the Cape Town bus timetable is in fact a work of fiction. Apart from this the bus service is very good.                       The ferries run on time.
It has been raining heavily for the last few days with maybe a slight improvement today so we will drive along the west coast as we are “bussed out” at the minute.
18th November 2013 Visited the West Coast National Park, which consists of mostly coastal heath and saw many ostrich, flamingos and snakes. Had a long lunch at an old farmhouse and the sun came out as we took the long way home via Cape Langebaan, famous for kite surfing. A perfect day.             “Oh well”, somebody’s got to do it.
21st November 2013 Over the last few days we have been true tourists, catching four buses to and from the city, walking about and generally getting a feel for the place. We also caught the city Red Bus tour that has a commentary in several languages and took us up to Table Mountain where we caught the cable car to the summit. Here we had magnificent views of the city and surrounds and were literally walking amongst the clouds.
Nearly every day we have gravitated to the Victoria and Alfred, yes Alfred not Albert, wharf area, which has a huge retail area, and restaurants of which we have made good use of, as prices for meals are very reasonable. A nice place to finish off the day before setting back on our long bus trip, which, with good connections, may take us two hours. Our reasoning for taking the bus is that we don’t have to search out secure parking which will fit a car of our height, 2400mm, and it also a good way to mingle with the locals who are always willing to help with directions, even unasked, or just have a chat.
Still waiting for the parts to arrive so we may have to do a tour of the surrounding wine country.

31st October 2013 Sani Pass. Started early and it was a beautiful clear morning. As we wound our way up the pass the scenery became more and more spectacular, absolutely stunning. The pass itself was good dirt, very steep and circuitious but no challenge for the Troopy.
On reaching the top we had a coffee at the highest pub in Africa  and were
treated to a musical performance by two boys sitting on a high crag just in front of the viewing platform. One boy played a petrol can guitar, strung with fishing line and no frets, and the other played drums. After Tara, our daughter, returned to Australia after working in Africa some years before, she  brought back such a guitar as a present for myself. I thought at the time, that it was just a tourist souvenir but they actually do work and, when I get back home, I’m going to spend some time on it.
Lesotho is a high altitude country and has a sparse beauty with sheepherders reminiscent of the Massi wandering the plains. We pass the odd rustic village with stone rondavels, round abodes and miniature donkeys.
We had stopped for lunch at a scenic and serene spot when we heard a huge explosion in the next valley the explanation of which was apparent a little way down the track. There was a major road building work in progress and they had blown up the existing road. I thought we would be there for a day or two but the workman we got talking to said it would be ready for us to drive in about an hour, and he was right. In fact we got talking to quite a few people, a bus driver, a Backpacker from Canada and others. The workman told us the road building was a Chinese initiative and that they were hard taskmasters.
At about five pm we entered the large town of Mokhotlong, arranged to stay at the back of the local Mokhotlong Hilton and walked down the road to the market that had very basic products for the locals. Things such as second hand clothing, shoe repairs, horse accessories and coffins that were sold from corrugated iron huts.
Lesotho is a peaceful country with little crime, no electric fencing or barbed wire and the locals are proud of this. They often asked what we thought of their country and always delivered a broad smile when we gave the correct answer.
1st November 2013 Today we will motor on but before this we will visit the hospital, just across the road and see if we can have a look at their X ray Department as we are both Radiographers.
3rd November A beautiful country from the green lowlands to the spectacular highlands. Hours of winding roads brought us to the Katse Dam which is huge, one of the tenth biggest of its kind in the world and then hours of winding road brought us back to the university town of Roma. The university buildings are all of sandstone and are a contrast to the rest of the town. We saw a uni student wearing platform shoes, walking on the rocky main street, balancing text books on her head whilst messaging on her mobile phone.

2 How do I market myself as a physical therapist?
4 What is the turnover rate for physical therapists?
5 Can a DPT call themselves a Doctor?
6 How do you address a professional email with no name?
The most common way to address a personal trainer in an email is “Dear PT.” You can also use their name if you know it. For example, “Dear John” or “Hi PT Smith.”
If you’re not sure of the personal trainer’s name, you can use their title and last name. For example, “Dear Mr. Smith” or “Hi PT.”
How do I market myself as a physical therapist?
So, the answer to the question “Can a DPT call themselves a Doctor?”
third option is to use a generic salutation such as “Hello” or “Dear Sir/Madam.”

With the wind in your face and civilization behind you, there is nothing like riding a motorcycle across this country. There are places in the USA that are worth every minute it takes to ride the highways and byways.
Here the 5 top motorcycle touring locations picked for beauty, remoteness and the thrill of the ride:
Figure 1: Peak To Peak Motorcycle Tour through Estes Park, Colorado
This ride follows US highway 212 starting at Red Lodge, Mont. (officially opened in 1936) and ends a Cooke City, Montana. This highway is only open to the public from May to October due to heavy snowfall. The Beartooth Highway can be dangerous with steep inclines, and hairpin turns that make the bravest of riders nervous. The road is not in good condition and daytime only passage is recommended, and you are on a motorcycle, so use due caution.
Due to the high elevation the weather can be a bit cool in these high mountains, so don't forget to bring along your Motorcycle Mesh Jacket.
Figure 3: Blue Ridge Parkway Motorcycle Tour of a lifetime
If you are serious about touring the U. S. by motorcycle this ride is at the top of your bucket list. This is a non-stop ride that will dazzle your every sense. The parkway is lined with stone markers at every mile and increases in number as you travel south. Using guide maps, every point of interest matches the number of stone markers along the route, this makes it easy to plan your ride. The weather can be a little on the cool side because of the mountain terrain so throw in your Men’s Motorcycle Leather Vest.
New England in Autumn is the best time for this ride from Brunswick to Machias with all the fall colors to greet your senses, it's incredible. You will follow a two-lane paved road for 167 miles through quaint villages and past historic lighthouses. Keep two fingers on the brake just in case a moose shows up in front of you around the next bend. Riding the coastal route can be a bit cool, so throw in your Men Motorcycle Mesh Pants to make your ride more comfortable.

“The reason why sweet potato and cassava were chosen is that those types of bread have been made in other countries across the region and the recipe that we are using have been used and tested and have been successful in other countries in the Caribbean. Once we have gotten people to start using the sweet potato and cassava bread, then we could manipulate the products we make as well as other ingredients that we put in; for example pumpkin is another crop that we could use, but we want to establish the sweet potato and cassava bread as alternatives to the wheat flour that people use.”

20 Best Destination Wedding Ideas And Hotels
By Aly Walansky — Written on Jun 13, 2019
Destination weddings arethis option to keep a wedding more intimate, perhaps in a spot exceptionally meaningful to the couple or their family. But there's a lot of work and consideration that goes into this type of wedding.
First, you need to choose a destination that is easy to access while considering your guests' locations. Says Mary Angelini of Key Moment Films, "I filmed a wedding recentlyey married in Orlando; it was a meeting in the middle. Plus, it was easy to access, and there were plenty of flights from both sides of the world."
Before you nix this as one of your wedding ideas, there are perks to having a destination wedding. It gives the couple an excuse to plan a wedding weekend, where guests and the couple can spend additional time exploring the destination together.
"We had a couple from Miami marry in Porto Vallarta, Mexico. They had their rehearsal dinner on a catamaran where they dined while watching the sunset, and then danced the night away on the deck just like they were in a club in Miami," says Angelini.
If you want a destination wedding, here are some hot spots to consider tying the knot.

Is HDMI2USB a complete video capture solution?
HDMI2USB is part of the TimVideos project, which aims to provide a complete ecosystem of hardware, software and know-how to do conference, meeting and user group recordings.
What makes HDMI2USB different to a HDMI capture box, or other existing solutions?
There are a number of commercial HDMI capture boxes available, that record video to an SD card or similar for later post-production in a non-linear editor. This isn’t what HDMI2USB aims to solve.
HDMI2USB does not require proprietary capture drivers for most basic capture; the stream is a standard USB UVC stream (i.e. like a webcam, it plugs in and “just works”).
HDMI2USB is an ‘open’ project - why is this a good thing?
HDMI2USB was born after some existing conferences doing SD capture were reliant on a VGA scan converter which stopped being manufactured, leaving us in limbo. We then located some vendors that made HDMI capture equipment but found many use varied capture standards (making automation difficult) and it proved impossible to find a USB capture solution that fit our criteria which we knew would be available for many years to come.
The hardware and firmware for HDMI2USB are open and will remain open, with firmware available for common prototyping boards. This means the community can get involved in developing new features (including those not available on existing commercial solutions), and we’re not reliant on a third party video capture specific vendor to keep producing consistent hardware.
Additionally, hardware schematics are available for the Numato Opsis board meaning even if the board is ever no longer available from TimVideos, these can still be manufactured by anybody wanting to do so.
Does HDMI2USB work reliably? How hard is it to get HDMI2USB working?
HDMI2USB is still in heavily development; use at this stage should be considered experimental.
HDMI2USB is not currently a ‘plug and play’ solution; you need to flash firmware onto a board to get it operational. We do provide easy to follow instructions if you’re comfortable typing commands in and encourage people to contact us if you want assistance - we want to make this accessible to everyone.
What do I need to do to use HDMI2USB?
You’ll need to do the following to do capture from 2 sources:
Buy some suitable capture hardware. See the Hardware page.
Flash the firmware onto the device. See the Firmware page.
Make sure you’ve got HDMI/Displayport cables and other equipment required to hook all your sources in. See the TimVideos site.
Get some capture/mixing software that supports HDMI2USB. This is still under heavy development. See the TimVideos site.
If you need help, look at the [Getting Help] page.
How can the capture hardware interface to my computer?
USB2.0 is currently supported.
Gigabit Ethernet is currently under development.
The firmware is currently targeted at supporting two operating resolutions;
16:9 - 720p60 mode
4:3 - [email protected]
Other resolutions can be used but are less tested and may not work.
Support depends on the type of capture hardware being used.
Detailed information about the resolutions that can be used on the Numato Opsis are found on the Video FAQ page.
Other resolutions can work such as 1080p30, 1080i60 and on Xilinx Series 7 FPGAs 1080p60.
The resolution limit are imposed by the speed at which the FPGA pins are able to operate. The DisplayPort functionality of the Numato Opsis board and newer Xilinx Series 7 FPGAs (such as the Digilent Nexys Video and Digilent Zybo will increase the supported resolutions.
Does it produce compressed video or raw video?
mjpeg compressed video - Best for capture from a continuous source such as a camera.
raw video - Best for capture of non-continuous or text heavy sources, such as a presenter’s slides.
Both are full 1024x768 or 720p resolution (depending on if the input is DVI or HDMI).
The problem is that USB2.0 doesn’t have enough bandwidth for raw video at 30fps, so if you want the higher frame rate you have to use the mjpeg compression mode.
At the moment raw mode is about 10-15fps while the MJPEG mode runs at 30fps or 25fps (dependent on capture source frequency).
The MJPEG compression quality is controlled via a setting.
What kind of USB device does it present to the host?
The device appears as:
UVC Webcam - This device is very common (pretty much every web-cam under the sun uses this format) and well supported under Linux.
CDC Serial Port - This device allows you to control the various options of the HDMI2USB and get status about which ports have active inputs, get hot plug events and such.

(KHNL) - Officials at Hawaiian Electric face frustrated residents over the lengthy island-wide power outage.
Every electric company in the state answered tough questions from the community.
But Hawaiian Electric got the most heat from many customers who say they still don't have answers.
HECO officials back on the hot seat answering questions about the day the lights went out across Oahu.
Late last week they faced the Public Utilities Commission.
Monday night customers wanted the answers.
"We all make mistakes, we can learn from those mistakes, we should be learning from those mistakes, but if we don't acknowledge those mistakes, we don't learn from them," said Roger Wickenden, a Kailua Resident.
Wickenden was in the dark for 12 hours.
He said, "What we have seen is the sequence of events, but we haven't seen is any analysis of what could have prevented the way it did."
HECO officials say they're working on answers.
They hope to get them by conducting an investigation.
Lynne Unemori with Hawaiian Electric Company said, "We wanted to present the facts that we have today because we know the public had questions."
Doug Carlson questioned HECO's abilities to communicate with its 291,000 customers.
He asked, "What about the communication that can be improved, to keep people informed so we're not all in an information blackout as well."
Tough questions with answers that may not come until the end of the year.
Unemori explained, "We wanted to be able to address their concerns, so we invited them today, so we can hear them and address them when we put together a final report."


Last week, consumer bodies from various EU members including France, uo take action against Chinese online giant Alibaba; more specifically its online portal for e-commerce and shopping.
The company’s terms and conditions allegedly set terms that breach EU Directives. The complaints against AliExpress, a subsidiary, resonated a comparable criticism by Luxembourg consumer body earlier this year who requested that the issues were to be resolved in EU Courts that would fight for consumer rights.


"My dad has always been a top player," said Fink. "He taught me how to play when I was 3 and taught me ever since."
Now, the 31-year-old is back with a vengeance, sort of the Roy Hobbs of handball. In the movie, "The Natural," when asked why he didn't start playing when he was younger, Hobbs says something like, "I sort of got sidetracked, but my heart was always in the game, so I decided to give it another try."
This try is working out extremely well for Fink, who lives in Greenfield and has ceased all other activity to focus on the pro handball tour. He recently won his first Pro Stop tournament, beating the top two ranked players, and is ranked No. 6 himself. All of this begs the question: What's a nice Jewish boy playing a sport like handball?
"It's not something that's talked about too much, but I feel that," he said. "A lot of the greatest champions were Jewish. I'm actually the only Jewish player in the top 20."
"He loves it; it's great for him," Fink said. "It's great for me, having been able to learn from him and take it to a level he never got to. Having his support and having him watch me has been great."
"I'm really excited," Fink said. "I've hosted about four tournaments, but this is my first big one with all the pros. It's an official Pro Stop tournament with the top six men and women coming to play."
"My goal the last couple years has been to win nationals," he said. "That's why I handball. It's what I've working for my whole life, really, but especially in the last year."

Some months had passed since Coco Martin and Matteo Guidicelli had their conflict during the Star Magic Ball.
People are wondering why Coco is no longer visible in Star Magic events like concert tours or any event with the group of Maja Salvador and Matteo Guidicelli.
Coco admitted that although he and Matteo had already buried the rift between them, he persoally asked the management of the Star Magic not to cast him again with Maja Salvador.
He imposes no-duet rule with the actress, who was his leading lady in ‘Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin’.
It can be recalled that Coco’s alleged ‘extra sweetness’ to Maja led to Matteo’s jealousy. Maja is Matteo’s girlfriend off-cam.
Meanwhile, Coco was given a ‘Best Actor’ award by KBP Golden Dove Awards in his performance in the teleserye, ‘Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin’.
Coco is the lead star of Star Cinema’s ‘You Light Up My Life’ with Angeline Quinto.
He is also part of ABS-CBN’s ‘Walang Hanggan’ with Richard Gomez and Susan Roces.


.
Katie shrugged and grinned, looking up at her friend. Maybe she was taking on too much, but an opportunity had come up, and she hadn't been able to resist.
Clarinda arched a doubtful brow, set down a glass of water with lime on the small table at Katie's side and shook her head. "I'll help you, of course," she said. "And, you know, Danny Zigler will be delighted to come and work for you. He was heartbroken when the place shut down years ago. People say that it's haunted, of course. You know that, right?"
"Yeah, well, I wish I were the karaoke hostess and not the waitress," Clarinda said.
"He's going to get the round on top of his head," Clarinda promised and strode toward the bar.
Katie heard the question, but she didn't even look over at the speaker. Bartholomew knew that he irritated her when he decided to converse in the company of others.
"Of course, Marty," she said.
He handed her his disc and she slid it into her system. "No words can come up on the screen, Marty. But you don't need them, right?"
"Marty, it's not a wax museum. It's full of robotics."
"I want to open it, Marty. I loved the place when I was a little kid," she told him.
"It was very sad, and a long time ago, Marty.  I'll be all right, Marty."
She lowered her head and spoke in an intense whisper. "Bartholomew, if you wish to maintain a mortal friend, I entreat you to cease and desist—shut up!
Katie knew that thus far in her life, only she seemed to be blessed by Bartholomew's presence.
"Lovely," Katie said.
"That it's finally near closing time. Marty is about to come up. Oh, and it's thinning out, so…ah! I know what we'll do."
"Katie, I do not sing—"
Of course, what she could possibly do to him—how to really threaten a ghost—she didn't know herself. She'd been plagued for years and years by…whatever it was that allowed her to see those who had "crossed the veil into the light," as many seemed to term it.
Bartholomew sniffed indignantly and went to lean against the bar, his sense of humor returning as he crossed his arms over his chest and indulged in eavesdropping on everyone around him.
When the crowd finally began to thin around 3:00 a.m., Katie and Clarinda did a song together from Jekyll and Hyde, despite Clarinda's objections. Her friend had a lovely, strong voice but didn't believe it; she would only go up late at night and when it was fairly quiet, and only with Katie.
"We actually get gangs down here now, you know," Clarinda said firmly.
Clarinda remained unhappy, but Katie had no intention of being swayed. Her uncle was up in St. Augustine, and Jon Merrillo was managing the bar, so she intended to slip out without being stopped by anyone. On Saturday, she would officially take ownership of the Beckett family's myth-and-legends museum, and she was tense and wanted to be anywhere but at work. "You watch yourself with those drunks!" she warned.
"Oh, honey, if there's one thing I learned while you were away at school, it's how to handle drunks. Oh, wait! We both knew how to manage that before you left. Go. I'll be fine. And Jonas will be here soon."
Waving and clutching her carryall, Katie left the bar.
Start reading Ghost Shadow (The Bone IslandI would advise of reading all the books to come in The Bone Trilogy.
I had absolutely no idea who the bad guy was until he was about to be revealed. The characters are all well developed, including the ghosts! I'm hoping to catch up with them all in future books.
4.0 out of 5 stars Mystery full of ghosts and key island craziness.
Lots of twists and turns on Florida's Key Island. The ghosts try to help guide their friends to the answers,but easier said than done. Fairly easy read.
After a long day I can't wait to get to "my" time. I pick up my kindle find my book and forget about everything but the story. I am fairly new to Heather Graham, but I keep going back to her books. This one is part of a trilogy, and I can't wait to get to the next book. This is a can't put it down read. I love the way she has woven the history of key west into the story. It makes you want to travel there just to be part of it. I loves stories with the supernatural, and romance. I especially like her strong female characters. This is a great read and will be hard to put down.
I got the abridged version of this book on CD- pretty good story, but not very well written, bad dialog- "he said, she said, he said, she said" and I didn't like the narrator. This is from a series of three, all written in the same year- and it shows. Maybe the unabridged version in book form was better- otherwise I can't figure out how the author got on the NY Best Seller List.
I enjoyed this story. Even the ghosts were lovable. Strange things are happening in Key West where a body is found in a museum similar to a murder ten years before. Several former residents have returned home after ten years away so suspicion falls on them. There is a love story as well and a surprise ending.
I liked the story line. But there were issues with a smooth read. Many times the scene changed, but there was no break or space in between. I had to stop, go back and re-read only to realize the scene changed. I will read her more of her books.
A great storyline, a gripping tale of murder and mayhem and ghosts. Loved Bartholomew the ghost talking to katie, so funny. The romance between Katie and David was lovely, David being a suspect in his ex fiancées murder. I guessed the murderer half way through the book, but not the reasons why that came nearer the end. A nail biting, couldn’t put down book well recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful privateer.
All 3books of the trilogy, are marvellous. Especially the privateer who is in all of them. These I have read over the years again and again. Really recommend this trilogy of books. They are a good read.
Excellent story involving ghosts (who have no more idea about the afterlife than we do) and the evil humans do. Well wriiten and very enjoyable read.

Does anyone have lung problems? I was diagnosed with RA at the age of 8 and am now above 50. I am having a vague heavy feeling in my chest. No cough, but it seems I'm not getting enough oxygen. No sharp pains, although sometimes I do feel a burning sensation. None of this seems to be associated with my heart. Anyway, none of my symptoms seem to follow the lung diseases associated with RA. I was curious if anyone else was troubled with these issues.
I too have RA, and lung problems.. Out of no where, I get light headed, the air seems to become thick, and I feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen, but my oxygen levels in my blood are in the normal range, and my lung capacity tests came out normal as well. But of course, I'm not having the symptoms when I have my appointments, and the testing is done. My doctor still put me on Montelukast (Singulair), and Proair HFA. I had been on the Proair for a few years, and only use it when I I get symptoms. When my doctor felt I was using the Proair more often than she was comfortable, is when she added Montelukast oral one a day. It worked great for about two weeks, then I was back to using the proair 2-6 times a day. The latest recommendation from my doctor was to get a humidifier. I haven't yet, because we just recently moved from dry Las Vegas, to humid West Virginia, and I am still adjusting to that humidity. One thing I have noticed, is that my symptoms seem to be worse after I eat. I also have IBS, and GERD, so it could be the GERD causing the low oxygen feeling as well. Have you been tested for GERD (Acid Reflux)? If so, try gas-x, and Gaviscon next time you feel symptoms, and if it helps releave the not enough air symptoms, then you might need to see a gastroenterologist.
I’m 60 and just last week diagnosed with RA. I’ve been told I’ve had it for much longer, but it was never checked because my pain wasn’t bad and I never talked about it. Last May, I started getting just a bit short of breath and my O2 level would go down. I’d already been on oxygen for over a year because for some reason, my levels would drop when I slept. But in may I had to start using it during the day at times. Within 3 weeks it was low almost all of the time. So in the long run, I was diagnosed with pneumonia: no fever or coughing, and overall not that short of breath except on exertion. But after that cleared up, I still had problems with low sats. My dr found inflammation in my lungs that still hasn’t gone away. And now there’s a spot in one of my lungs. All this said, he looked, with blood tests, an inflammatory disease. RA was a possibility. Finally 8 months later I was diagnosed. We don’t know yet if my lung issues are caused by RA, but my pulmonary dr seems very familiar with it. So please take away one thing here. And that is it’s possible to have atypical pneumonia. By the time I found out about it, (I was still at home), in less than an hour I couldn’t breathe and 911 had to be called. So if nothing else, ask your dr for a CT chest scan. If it’s not pneumonia it will show something like inflammation, which can be a complication of RA as well as pneumonia. I don’t know how old this post is, but if not you, maybe it will help another down the road.


Sunday afternoon I pieced and trimmed the HSTs, then after dinner I gave the blocks to Megan and let her pick the layout for the pillows. She asked for my help a couple of times, but all-in-all, the layout was all her doing... and I think she did a great job! I backed them in some random dot fabric from my stash (probably purchased back in my clothing sewing days when Megan was an infant)... a well-stocked stash is great for last-minute projects!

Back again! I've been staying with my mum for a few days to keep her company and to celebrate my birthday with her. She's so completely epic...she made me a wonderful garland -
I'd already decided to use birds for my image, so I found a picture I'd saved on Pinterest that fitted the bill and used it as a handy reference -
I used the same technique on the background, then added swirls with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze once the page had dried. I added detail to the birds with black and white Uni Ball Impact gel pens, splattered some more glaze to bring a more random, haphazard look to the image as a whole. Last touch was a helping of Treasure Gold (in 'Classic Gold' shade) and the words '
I hope you like my picture. I hope you can find a way to journal the love you have in your life, from family and friends - and pets too!

Thanks for visiting! I'll be back with a new post REALLY soon so please keep coming back, and if you like my posts please follow my blog or add me to circles so that I can send you details of my latest work.

ry! It is one of those ingrained movement patterns that can often decide if we made it or we did not. Sometimes when we need to get somewhere, we just need to do it fast. Read on for salvation from such a terrible and untimely fate.
A recent study by Mendiguchia et al (2020) focussed on the fact that in soccer, most hamstring injuries occur during sprinting activities. A group of elite level soccer players were observed doing their regular soccer training only, soccer training plus the Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) or soccer training plus a comprehensive sprint acceleration program. All three groups were then measured before and after a 6-week training period with respect to sprint performance/mechanics and hamstring muscle architecture. They referenced the NHE as a proven and effective exercise that prevents hamstring injury.
The results of the study showed that both the “Sprint Group” and the “NHE Group” gained improved hamstring muscle morphology than the “Soccer Group” and the “Sprint Group” showed more pronounced improvements in sprint performance than the other two groups. The take-home message is that both sprinting and NHE provided more injury prevention benefits than only regular soccer training and the sprint training provided the added benefits of improved sprint performance. Although this study was specific to soccer players, it can be reasonably assumed that the potential for a combination of specific hamstring strengthening (the NHE for example) and a sprinting program could be useful for any human that may be required to put the pedal to the proverbial metal from time to time.
? It may keep your hammies happier and get you across the finish line or to that bus with time to spare.

In Stuart Smalley’s words….uh….I mean Al Franken’s words:
For some people, this bad situation spirals into an even worse nightmare. The problems in the debt collection industry first came to my attention in June, when my hometown newspaper, the Star Tribune, began a series on this subject with a story about the Minnesotans who have landed in jail because debt collectors were pursuing them for a debt.
One woman who told her story, a Minneapolis resident, spent a full day in jail over a $250 credit card debt. During that day, she was treated like a criminal, groped by one inmate and offered drugs by another, and slept in a room with a dozen other women, sharing a toilet with no privacy.
And here was what she told the newspaper: “We hear every day about how there’s no money for public services. But it seems like the collectors have found a way to get the police to do their work.” And she’s right. These rogue debt collectors are gaming the system and using corporate profit.

Time is overdue for a bailout of the PEOPLE who put their sweat equity into this American enterprise.
If we do otherwise, we risk half our country plummeting into third world status and we already know the implications of that. Disastrous. Ten times worse than any stale real estate market. What recourse will there be for us to get back on our feet when there are no jobs and no loans and no homes with clear title? Everyone rents from the government, ten people to a house?
Granting us our homes is a cheap price to pay in the long run. Without all our hard-earned funds going toward mortgage payments on bogus loans, we could sustain and build a strong class and stimulate the economy with our new-found purchase power…and maybe even get ahead in this country…that is supposed to be so darn wonderful!
Plus, it would go a LONG way toward restoring good will.
They tell us to go back to school….borrow more money from the Feds!
We shouldn’t have to condone criminal behavior in this country in order to get ahead. Wall Street sets the example that you have to be clever and crafty if you want to succeed. Only a handful get caught and used as token examples of what not to do. No wonder our jails are full of people just trying get their bills paid or feed their families. We are punished for trying to help ourselves! In this purportedly rich nation, we can’t even feed our own people, yet we spend trillions on nonsense and bailouts and overseas. It’s just absurd.

It is worth mentioning that the cost of the contractor should not go unmentioned. Find a roofing contractor who fits your budget. Consequently find a roofing contractor who is reasonably priced and with a promise of quality work. Let the roof that you have be worth your money. It is essential to have an average cost of everything that would be needed for the roofing job. These would include roofing materials and equipment and also the wages of the contractors. Other times, the roofing contractor would avail the approximate cost of everything that would be needed. This enables you to adjust your budget accordingly. Put into consideration the timing of the job. Let the contractor be aware of the time limits he has to complete the job. A contractor would be pushed to work more and more with the presence of deadlines. All in all, make sure that you get the best quality roofing contractor that you can afford.Why not learn more about Roofs?

Troyzan Robertson (One World): Look! If you push me in the corner, you wake up the lion. Don’t piss me off if I’m helping you out, because then I’ll scrap for everything. I’ll do anything. I’ll look for some sh— you don’t even know is out there to look for. I’ll make up four super idols and start giving them out to whoever I want, and I have some special whatever!
Read on for what the others think about Troyzan.
Jeff Probst (Executive Producer and Host): Of everyone on this season, I think I’m probably happiest for Troyzan. He’s been so loyal to us in his enthusiasm. He started asking to come back the minute he was voted out. We constantly said, for four years, “Troyzan, it will happen. You just have to have faith. It’s just not right yet.” When he said yes to Second Chance and knew he was risking not making it in front of a live audience, and I knew he was terrified of it not happening… but he wanted it, and this is what I have to do? He really earned a lot of respect from us, as did all of the people who did that.
Zeke Smith (Millennials vs Gen X): Troyzan won’t put his f–king shirt on. I mean, Ozzy wears a shirt, dude. Put your shirt on!
Malcolm Freberg (Philippines, Caramoan): Do I have to call him Troyzan? Anybody who nicknames themselves, I have a bone to pick with.
Debbie Wanner (Kaoh Rong): Bad back. Not physically fit. Just watch the way he walks. He’s not playing hard. Doesn’t understand it’s already going on. Might make the merge because he’s still a guy with some muscle tone. But when it comes to the long haul? Not going to make it.
Zeke Smith (Millennials vs Gen X): Troyzan is exactly what you think Troyzan is going to be. Troyzan and Culpepper are sort of grouped together as two guys who have massive egos, and maybe don’t have the strategic chops to back them up. But I sort of like the idea of the older guy who you just need to prop up their ego. If you tell them they’re right all the time, those people can be easily manipulated.
Ciera Eastin (Blood vs Water, Cambodia): I actually really like him. But I didn’t at first! But as I’ve been dissecting my game, I think we would be a very unlikely duo. I see him getting along well with people. Then again, I’m saying this and he could make a total ass out of himself once we’re out there. But I do like him.
Jeff Varner (Australian Outback, Cambodia): I love Troyzan. I would want to sit in the end with Troy. In Cambodia, I felt like I needed to partner with people I could beat in the end, like Abi. That’s what drew me to Abi. But I’ve sincI’m sitting next to in the end. I’m good! I can beat all of them! I’m not coming at it that way anymore. I’m coming at it a different way. Troyzan is trustworthy. He was loyal to his group of people. He’s challenge strong, but also a little narcissistic. I think he’s strong enough that he’ll help me get to a part in the merge, and weak enough that he’ll need melove Troyzan. I think he’s awesome. The fact that those girls did him dirty at the end? He’s another one who knows what it’s like to fight fight fight and be just inches away. I could help him.
PREVIOUSLY: Brad Culpepper is Playing For Monica. </s> Conscious Out-of-Body Experiences (Astral Travel / Projection)
- When we fall asleep our monad (self) exits through the solar plexus or heart chakra, depending on whether it is going to the lower or upper emotional world. Exiting through either of these chakras causes the consciousness thread (which links the monad to the physical-etheric body) to become detached, hence the physical body loses consciousness. The physical brain plays no part in the out-of-body experience, so has no recollection the event. The memories are, however, stored in our emotional permanent atom, which is part of our subconscious and has a powerful influence on our dreams.
- For a conscious out-of-body experience the monad (self) must exit through the crown chakra. This allows the consciousness thread to remain attached so the physical body does not fall asleep. The physical brain remains connected to the remote monad, which provides real-time conscious awareness of the out-of-body experience and full recall afterwards. When out-of-body, our waking consciousness is no longer restricted by the etheric web or censored by the physical brain, so we can perceive non-physical beings and environments.
