A lot goes into planning a trip, much less a road trip. When I originally planned this epic road trip, I did not consider that before I left, the world would shut down (damn virus).
That has made this trip a lot more exciting and more epic!
Since leaving CA is on a modified lockdown, I can’t find drinking water anywhere, don’t get me started on TP. Going out to eat has been impressive, and there’re many more people out here than I would have imagined.
Below is a picture of my solution to using a bathroom when you are in the middle of nowhere. Totally worth it!
Then there are the fun stories, like the car fire on the side of the road. Or a few nights ago, a lady got her RV stuck in the mud. Long story short, a few of us helped her out, and she is okay.
This got me thinking, what if none of us were there?
She would have just kept digging herself more in the mud. It took four of us, and two ropes to get the RV out.
But all of this is part of the adventure.
Part of my plan was to write a few posts regarding my experience. But, coffee shops, libraries, and other areas to have WiFi are not available.
Making it a bit more complicated, but better late than never. Well, see where this post goes, I make no promises.
This brings us to the first part that I’ve been thinking about.
Contact and Communication
Up to this point, I have done most of my camping on BLM and public lands.
It’s been great until last night when I saw much of the BLM land being shut down due to the virus. WTF?!?! Everyone out there is nowhere near each other.
I am writing this about 20 miles outside of Arches National Park (and I have cell coverage)!
The sun is setting behind me, and I’m looking at a beautiful mountain range in front of me. The only down part is typing this in my car because it’s about 30 MPH winds outside.
I just wanted to get something out there that I’m alive and well.
Thanks to those of you that have texted and checked in.
It makes me laugh how many people think I’m crazy for going on a road trip with the current status of the nation. But life is an adventure, and we need to get out there.
I think one of the best things we can do is get fresh air and be in the sun right now, but that’s just me.
Going back to cell coverage, it has been pretty terrible. That is until my current location in BLM land. The cool part is that most everyone is super friendly and cool. And this is even though I have CA license plates.
Yes, getting lost happens to all of us (maybe some more than others).
Like last night, I had a few options on what to do, and nothing was open. Then it was 10 pm, and I finally found a camping spot (the place I’m at now).
I decided a changed mindset is a better way to go. Instead of I’m lost, which, if you think about it, you are truly never lost. You change your mindset and say that you are, just “Temporary Misplaced.” It’s all how you look at it.
Along with not no cell reception, I’m noticing my phone doesn’t always like to work as it should.
I made sure I downloaded maps before leaving, but sometimes my phone wants to act like it does not understand anything.
Trying to select something on the phone and it does its own thing, for example.
Technology can be super frustrating. I wonder if it has to do with everyone being online and on their cell phones, and maybe that bogs down the internet overall.
One application I downloaded that has proven to be one of the best, I think I’ve mentioned it before, is AllTrails.
One of the best apps I have, and when I get on a hike, I haven’t gotten lost once. I even go off-trail to get a picture or two, and the app gets me right back on track.
Today, at Arches, there were two paths to take. I started walking on one of them, looked at AllTrails, and realized I needed to go the other way.
That was so cool and helped me know where I was. It’s nice knowing the app will tell me where to go and even has information on where the trailhead is. There are always some excellent comments others have left that are worth reading.
I have also found that being temporarily misplaced allows me to explore more of the areas I’m in.
You can find some cool things off the beaten path. Even today, I sat down under one of the fantastic arches and didn’t do anything. I just listened to the crazy wind and looked at the tremendous views. It was perfect.
It just reminded me that no matter your situation, sometimes you need just to stop and take a few breaths.
Where I Have Been So Far
The weather has been fun during this excursion. It was snowing when I was packing up my car, getting ready to leave. But I managed to get everything in, and I’m one of those over-packer folks.
I then drove to the Grand Canyon, I had never been there before, and it was terrific.
Not sure if I mentioned it was snowing! Yep, I even woke up in my car with a few fresh inches of snow on top (and the road covered on what I drove down was fun too).
I walked around and ended up driving to the other side of the park. The best part of not having any solid plans or payments anywhere to stay is I just kept driving.
I ended up going straight to Zion and stayed for a few days. I love it out there, and it’s defiantly one of my happy places.
Zion was super cold, my second morning it got down to about 23 degrees. Then there was rain in the forecast.
This led me to look up a few places (hotels, motels, Airbnb, etc.) and find a nice hotel for a reasonable price.
So the next day, as it was raining, I sat in a relaxing room, did my laundry in the sink, and charged my batteries.
My next day was visiting several National Parks, including Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef. Both of these parks are amazing and beautiful.
There was still a lot of snow, but it was beautiful. I planned on camping near Capital Reef, but sometimes you can only do so much research.
The spots I picked out were not the best. So I decided to move on and head to Moab and Arches National Park.
The sun was setting, and I could find a rest stop (another excellent place to crash for the night, helps that I have my Rav set up to sleep inside of it, with curtains).
The downside of rest stops is that they can be loud. Someone decided to have their generator on for the entire time, so I ended up leaving.
The sad thing is I have found out that a lot of the BLM land has been closed, at least in Utah.
I was happy to find one of the BLM roads did not have any postings. I also realized that everyone seemed to be there.
I drove a few miles, found a place where I could barely see anyone, and set up for the night. It was one of the best places I had found. The cherry on top is that I have cell reception! Game changer and score!
So I woke up very close to Moab last night. I played around today and think I will tomorrow as well. I even ordered food at the Moab Brewery and had a tasty beverage. Their burgers are amazing!
Now, sadly to say, my laptop is about to die. I have a remarkable power station called Jackery in the back (I have the Explorer 240), but I think I will finish this up tomorrow.
I am so amazed at this world we live in. There are so many amazing things to get outside and see.
Having this opportunity has been a blessing and treat (even though I can’t do everything I planned, damn virus).
I am very thankful for this opportunity and want to thank everyone for their support, thoughts, and prayers.
Most importantly, thanks to my Mum.
Thanks for all your support over the years, even more so during this crazy crossroads in my life. Being able to pack up and go is super exciting, and it’s nice to know I have the support.
I think the best part of the last week has been focused on the present. It’s crazy to me how many times we wish our lives away.
Or if you happen to get a week or two off of work, you hurry and go on a vacation just to go back to the job.
I think no matter what, we are always thinking about or helping out our employers. Having this time to focus on the NOW has been amazing. It’s also the first trip that I can do what I want and go where I want.
I have to remember to head back to CA at some point.
There is always something for us to do. Even if we are stuck in our homes and not doing what we want, I have found when you are doing things solo, you can make all the decisions.
There is also a lot of time to reflect and read. It has helped me to slow down and focus on the now. Not to mention reading is excellent, and I’ve wanted to do more of it.
That’s All For Now
Thanks for reading this post! At first, I thought about staying on one topic, but then it turned into this. I did say at the beginning I make no promises. I guess that happens.
If you have been to this area and want to know some cool places, let me know in the comments below. Also, let me know if you want me to post or write about anything specific. I’m all ears (assuming I can get on my computer).
I will write this as the sunset (now it’s dark) is pretty rad.
I can see some stars coming out of what I would give to have a job working remotely. I think that might be what I’m truly made for. Then this could be every day!

Dr. Tom Cucuzza has granted me permission to post this sampling of his wonderful pamphlet, The Permanence of Salvation. Although a scholarly and eloquent treatise, it is easy to read, simple to comprehend and one of the best I have ever seen detailing God’s Grace in Salvation. It effectively destroys all the “isms,” like Calvinism, Arminianism, Lordship Salvationism, Catholicism, etc. Below are some of my favorite quotes from the article. Tom has included a plethora of Scripture references to illustrate the Truth he presents:
“Salvation is permanent because the Eternal God does not give birth to temporary children.” Priceless!!
“If everlasting life could cease, then it would not be everlasting! It would be temporary.”
“Salvation is an event that happens only once in a person’s lifetime.”
“Jesus said, ‘Ye must be born again.’ He did not say, ‘Ye must be born again, and again, and again.’ Once you become a child of God, you are henceforth and forevermore a child of God!”
“This is an amazing fact! The believer is already seen [by God] as being in Heaven with the Lord.”
A believer “Being ‘sealed’ with the Holy Spirit can best be illustrated by examining the historical function of a king’s signet ring. …..”
“So it is evident that the entire Trinity is involved in keeping the believer saved. He is held in the Son’s hand, enclosed by the Father’s hand, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.”
“The thought of [The Body of Christ] parts ‘coming and going’ is inconceivable and even preposterous”
“[E]verlasting life is a gift–not a reward.”
“[I]t is God who keeps us saved.”
“And so it is clear that when you put your faith in Jesus Christ you are saved forever. You are safe and secure for all eternity. This is God’s way of salvation and His promise to you. “
“[I]f it were up to each of us to keep ourselves ‘preserved’ for Heaven, then we are in very feeble–even impossible hands”
You may obtain the entire pamphlet when you go to the link below. Download the PDF file, read it and print it out. Give it to your friends so they may see how simple and permanent God’s Salvation in Jesus Christ really is. Tom will be using this as a bound pamphlet handout for his church members.By Dr. Thomas M.

This is a wonderful expose’ of “Lordship Salvation,” by my friend Bruce Bauer. He exposes the lie and strips the false teaching down to its barren roots. [Excerpt]: “Some Christians live in a constant state of tension and dread, always ill at ease, restless, uncertain, never knowing when they’ve done enough; they’re never quite able to get a grasp on assurance.” Read on and be enlightened.
By: Bruce Bauer, Lancaster, CA
Recently I attended the funeral of an elderly Mormon lady, a dear friend of mine and of my family’s for several decades. I’ll refer to her as “Jane.” In one of the eulogies given the speaker commented that in her dying days Jane had expressed fears that her church tithes might not have been paid up to date. As I pondered what had just been said, I thought, how tragic, how sad that a person should have to live in such bondage, doubt and fear right up to the point of death. I silently felt grateful to God that at least we, as evangelical Christians, don’t have to live our lives in such enslavement to duty shrouded by panic and uncertainty of salvation. My thoughts raced to John 10:27-30: “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” [NIV as are all refs.][i] I rejoiced in the warm snuggling grasp of our Lord’s hands, saving and preserving each and every person who comes to salvation by faith in Christ alone. But, I reflected, don’t many Christians live out their lives under precisely the same cloud of insecurity, apprehension and angst experienced by Jane? Do all evangelicals really act so differently than she?
What, then, is the defining distinctive hallmark that sets evangelical Christianity apart from Mormonism, the JWs, Roman Catholicism, and indeed, every other religious belief system? Free Grace theology states it best: “We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Every other religious structure has a works-based salvation plan at its core. But aren’t many evangelical writers and pastors guilty of promoting a similar type of works-for-salvation system of their own? Certainly, proponents of Lordship Salvation have been accused of teaching just such a salvation plan despite their vehement denials. Much has been written on this debate. I will not rehash it here; however, this paper will describe some of the pernicious fallout of Lordship Salvation teaching on the lives of believers especially and on some unbelievers as well. For additional study of the Lordship debate, I refer the reader to some of the best works that I have read on the subject: 1. Charles C. Bing, Lordship Salvation: A Biblical Evaluation and Response, GraceLife Edition (Burleson, TX: GraceLife Ministries, 1992, 1997). 2. Fred Chay and John P. Correia, The Faith that Saves: The Nature of Faith in the New Testament (Phoenix, AZ: Grace Line, Inc., 2008). 3. Charles C. Ryrie, So Great Salvation (Chicago: Moody Press, SP Publications, 1989, 1997). 4. Fred R. Lybrand, Back to Faith: Reclaiming Gospel Clarity in an Age of Incongruence (San Antonio, TX: Fred R. Lybrand, Xulon Press, 2009). 5. Thomas M. Cucuzza, Secure Forever! God’s Promise or Our Perseverance? (St. Cloud, MN: Thomas M. Cucuzza, Xulon Press, 2007). 6. Lou Martuneac, In Defense of the Gospel: Biblical Answers to Lordship Salvation (LaVergne, TN: Lou Martuneac, Xulon Press, 2006, 2010).
The Fallout of Lordship Faith Teaching
Battered! The Father Serra Syndrome
Father Junipero Serra was an 18th century Franciscan priest who is famous for founding the Roman Catholic mission system throughout western Mexico and California. He is known to have been a flagelist, that is, one who would regularly pummel himself with a whip in order to exorcise his personal demons (sinful thoughts and attitudes). In a California history course in college, I learned that on more than one occasion Father Serra had to be physically restrained by his assistants to prevent him from flogging himself to death.
Do some Christians today beat themselves up as Father Serra did? Oh, maybe they don’t do so physically, but do they torment themselves mentally and emotionally over their struggles with sin? Listen to the following composite of one who is caught up in such a pattern of conflicted self-deprecating thinking: “James is a young man with a different set of problems, the greatest one being lust. Though he has never actually committed fornication, James struggles continually with impure thoughts. He lives in dread that his Christian friends will discover what is happening inside his brain. Attached to this mental impurity is a sense of deep shame, a shame that permeates his feelings about himself and his position before God.”[ii] James desperately needs a regular healthy dosage of the preaching of God’s abundant awesome gift of grace in the believer’s life. He also would benefit tremendously by the warm understanding embrace of fellow Christian brothers and sisters.
The teaching and preaching of Lordship Salvation can foster a tremendous state of anxiety and doubt for some believers because its precepts demand a high level of purity of thought and lifestyle undergirded by the constant threat of not having been blameless enough or virtuous enough to merit salvation. Recently I witnessed a heart-wrenching testimony from a young Christian man whose assurance of salvation was decimated by the reading of a best-selling book which promulgates a very condemning form of Lordship Salvation doctrine. Out of respect for the young man I’ll share just a brief portion of what he said without giving his name: “there is no hope for most of us to ever be like the one who is not lukewarm. There is no hope for me anymore, for I thought I was a Christian for over 15 years, but I am according to the scriptures ‘lukewarm’ and will not be accepted into heaven . . . . May God have mercy on us all . . . .” Hearing a sad profession such as this reminds me of why it is so crucial for Free Grace teachers and writers to proclaim strongly the message of God’s grace and to counter the harmful repercussions of Lordship Faith preaching. I wonder if any of these popular Lordship pastors and writers ever pause to consider the fallout, the damage and pain that they might potentially inflict through preaching and publishing their judgmental diatribes. Who will pick up the broken pieces of shattered lives?
Driven! When is Enough Enough?
Some Christians live in a constant state of tension and dread, always ill at ease, restless, uncertain, never knowing when they’ve done enough; they’re never quite able to get a grasp on assurance. One of the consistent marks of Lordship Faith teaching is that it sets very lofty (some would say unattainable) standards of normative Christian achievement. After all, their teachers might say, didn’t Jesus establish the ideals for us in the Sermon on the Mount? Pity the average churchgoer who may not appear to be very dedicated to God or to be very active in serving him. She might find herself listed among the ranks of the half-hearted or, dare I say, the “lukewarm”; if so, certain Lordship Faith leaders would almost certainly brand her as unsaved. But who sets the criteria for Christian attainment and who gauges the hearts and motivations of the congregation? How many years must one actively serve God? Ten, twenty, thirty, fifty? Must good works be obvious to men or can they be quietly noticeable before God? Are any periods of failing allowed? For how long? Is working in a secular job acceptable or must one quit her job and go to the mission field? Do true “on-fire” believers have to sell their fancy cars and houses and live like paupers? The questions are endless and the answers are few. And, one of the saddest questions of all is, how many unbelievers are put off by Lordship teachers’ unreasonable up-front demands of commitment, surrender and change of lifestyle in order for one to be allowed into the kingdom? Rather, shouldn’t Christians be giving them the good news, the grace news of John 3:16, Acts 16:30-31 and Ephesians 2:8-9?
Listen to the story of a driven believer: “Betty is as reliable as Mother Teresa, as dedicated to Christ as one can be. . . . But no matter how much Betty does, she always feels she’s not doing enough, because she also feels that somehow she isn’t quite pleasing God. This haunting sense of God’s disapproval drives her from Bible study to prayer group, from buying each ‘New and Improved System for Personal Devotions’ at her local Christian bookstore and joining every church outreach program to standing at every opportunity to recommit her life to Christ. In spite of her ‘gold-medal performance’ as a Christian, Betty continues to feel that God considers her a failure.”[iii] Is this really the way that God wants Christians to live? Wouldn’t God want us to live lives characterized by confidence, freedom and grace?….

Yesterday a very damaging false news has been published by ANI, claiming that Nithyananda's medical test reports confirm that he is impotent, and that the rape charges are false! There are several false, defamatory and misleading statements, which are clarified below.
I assume that a reputed and responsible media like ANI will NOT intentionally mislead the public with some vested interest or hidden motive. But it appears from the news article that your office has not verified with the CID re. the (false) informations given by Nithyananda. Here are the facts for your information:
1. Medical test results of Nithyananda have NOT yet been released by the CID. They have been submitted in sealed cover and CID is likely to submit it to the court along with the final charge sheet, which is the normal procedure.
2. According to CID (you can clarify with DGP, CID, 080-22256963) the news that medical test reports have found Nithyananda to be incapable of sexual acts is absolutely false & malicious.
3. As per Supreme Court orders, identity of Rape victims must NOT be exposed in media. It is quite shocking to see a reputed media like ANI mentioning the victim's name and blatantly assassinating her character.
It is deplorable to see ANI becoming a tool in the hands of rape accused & publicly attacking a rape victim, at a time when the entire nation is standing against rapes and rape laws have been strengthened to help victims to find speedy justice. In this very Nithyananda case, even the Hon'ble Supreme Court had ordered Nithyananda to stop delaying the case, and instead to go to trial soon and come out clean.
4. Please see attached FSL report. Topmost forensic lab in the country, Central Forensic Science Lab has confirmed in 2010 itself that sex video of Nithyananda is authentic, it is NOT morphed. Nithyananda's alleged US forensic reports are questionable as he does not have the original video.
5. Nithyananda made all the victims and close disciples to sign a sex-contract. Please see attached sex-contract (Non-Disclosure Agreement), refer underlined sections in pages 8, 9 and also pages 4 & 5.
6. Nithyananda confessed to whistle blower Lenin in 2010 about his sexual acts. See attached Audio confession between Nithyananda& whistle blower Lenin. In 2010, Nithyananda himself confessed to several witnesses that he had relationship with several women.
ANI has done great disservice not only to the victims in the case, but has tremendously misled the trusting public to repose faith in a fake Godman, a rape accused, a cult leader, even before tile court has examined the case in detail in a trial and even before Court can give a just verdict.
It is absolutely essential and expected that as a responsible media you immediately withdraw the article with completely false & misleading information. Further ANI is obligated to the public to clarify the facts with accurate information from the real source such as CID and based on actual documents in the chargesheet.
Please do the needful without further delay to undo the great damage done to the public and to Hindus.

Though its smartphone division may have reached its peak, Huawei’s wearables division is still doing strong. The Chinese company has capitalized on the advantages of its wearables—simplistic looks, lengthy battery life, and accurate fitness tracking—since the debut of the first Huawei Watch in 2015. While opting for huawei smart watch sale, you must know which smart watch is best for you? The smart bands and watches from Huawei come with a 12-month warranty. If the product has a factory issue, they also offer a 7-day replacement.
Purchase the best Huawei smartwatch for your needs
Huawei’s wearables are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of users. Its products offer something slightly distinct even if many of them have round watch faces and similar looks.
In light of this, you can choose any of the items listed below if you’re seeking for a device with a polished appearance. Huawei is skilled at creating fashionable watches. However, there are a few factors to take into account if you’re searching for a lightweight fitness tracker, a gym buddy, a running trainer, or a general smartwatch.
Running enthusiasts should look for GPS built-ins. Fortunately, the majority of the Huawei watches below have just that. Notably, gym users might want to prioritize how they feel and fit, sport monitoring settings for particular workouts, and a variety of fitness sensors, from SpO2 tracking to an accurate heart rate sensor. Last but not least, all Huawei watches provide standard smartwatch functionality, such as built-in alarms and internal audio playback.
The top smartwatches from Huawei
- The best Huawei wristwatch is the Watch 3 Pro. The company’s recently released flagship model features Harmony OS and a redesigned and polished look.
- For the majority of consumers, the Huawei Watch GT 3 is the greatest smartwatch. Although it lacks the creature comfort features of its Apple and Samsung competitors, it has plenty of battery life. It is also quite reasonably priced.
- Due to its excellent GPS and heart rate monitoring accuracy as well as additional coaching capabilities, the Huawei Watch GT Runner is the ideal Huawei watch for runners.
- The best affordable Huawei wristwatch for recreational sports is the Huawei Watch GT 2e. This mid-range watch has a few design improvements over the GT 2 that make it a better gym purchase.
- The top Huawei fitness tracker is the Band 6. It is affordable, small, and packed with tools for keeping track of one’s health.
Huawei- A Good Smartwatch Brand?
Over the past few years, Huawei has had tremendous success. They were among the brands with the quickest growth, and they now outpace the majority of their Chinese rivals. Other Asian manufacturers outside Samsung have not accomplished this feat, although they were also able to pass Apple in the yearly smartphone race in 2019. Huawei has improved its smartphones to the point that they can now legitimately compete with premium models. They did the same on their smartwatches as well. Some of the greatest smartwatches on the Android market right now are among their current offerings. Most online shops, including Amazon, still carry Huawei smartwatches right now. Their smartwatches also don’t have any hardware or software limitations, unlike their cellphones, because they don’t have access to web services.

Q. I saw your Problem Clinic regarding too much bond breaker being used on tilt-up panels (January 1996, pp. 76-82). We have this problem on a job. Do you know how to get the bond breaker off the panels so they can be successfully painted?
A. Many manufacturers of curing compounds, sealers, and bond breakers also make strippers that can remove their products. We suggest asking the bond-breaker manufacturer for advice on the best chemical stripper and cleaning method. Stripper effectiveness varies with bond-breaker composition. Chemicals that have been used in strippers include D-limonene (a citrus-peel-based stripper) and methylene chloride.

It was 30 going on 15 for many of L.A.’s boy band faithful Thursday night.
More than a decade since first stepping foot in Inglewood’s Fabulous Forum, Backstreet Boys were back in a huge way, making it OK for their fans to act like the adoring teens who catapulted them to stardom in the mid-’90s.
“Just act like you’re 15 years old tonight,” Brian Littrell said early on. “That means don’t go home and tell your parents what happened tonight, because what happens at a Backstreet Boys concert stays at a Backstreet Boys concert.”
The group’s middle child, age-wise, was joined once again by the rest of his cohorts here – A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, youngest member Nick Carter (34) and oldest Boy Kevin Richardson, 42, who returned to the fold in 2012 after six years away. Together, they delivered a strong two-hour set that showed the One Directions of the world how it’s done.
“I’ve gotta say, this is amazing,” Littrell told the crowd. “This place is filled to the rim. You guys still have that mad love for the Backstreet Boys after all of these years? Some people might call us out of date.”
Not to the thousands screeching approval inside the remodeled arena, where the quintet helped them relive the turn of the millennium as if it were yesterday. “I’ve been a fan since I was a teenager,” said one 30-year-old fan, Los Angeles resident Laura Knapp, who danced to every tune. “It kind of reminds me of my childhood. I even Instagrammed my friend a photo of ‘remember when.’”
The guys couldn’t have been more engaging with their mostly female admirers, from Dorough’s demonstration of the proper way to shake “what our mamas gave us” to McLean’s close proximity to a few ladies during “In a World Like This,” the title track of their latest album. But no one got the star treatment quite like the devotees who got to enjoy part of the concert from onstage. Others made do with handshakes from their heartthrobs.
Taking it “way back” to the beginning with their first single, “We’ve Got It Goin’ On,” the group also ventured at various points in the performance to the opposite end of their career arc – notably with their interpretation of “Breathe,” one of several tracks from their current disc, the crowd illuminating the venue “like the night sky.”
Two other fresh ones, “Madeleine” and “Show ’Em (What You’re Made Of),” the latter co-written by McLean and Richardson for their kids, further displayed their tender sides.
“Backstreet Boys has been together for 21 years,” McLean noted. “That’s a long damn time. Hopefully, we still look good.”
Beyond showing off musical talents on instruments to complement their still-sharp choreography and fit physiques, they really haven’t changed much at all. The obvious exception is McLean’s full head of hair, thanks to a transplant treatment he is openly proud of.
Though they rose out of Orlando’s once-thriving boy band scene, this gig also was a homecoming of sorts, given the location: They hadn’t played the Forum since 1999.
Richardson recalled getting stuck singing from the top of a surfboard for two songs during a stop at the iconic Inglewood arena during the Into the Millennium Tour that year. (“That was embarrassing as hell,” he said.) McLean’s memory was a “bittersweet” one he shared with his wife after seeing Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose here sing “November Rain,” the song they first danced to as a married couple.
After wrapping the main set with two huge hits, “Shape of My Heart” and “I Want It That Way,” the fivesome closed with a pairing of two more popular favorites, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and “Larger than Life,” leaving fans cheering wildly.
In 1996, the group wished to “turn back time.” In 2014, with 130 million records sold and counting, the best-selling boy band in history has done just that.
“I think we’re like fine wine,” Dorough concluded. “We get better with age.“
Avril Lavigne didn’t need much to rev up the crowd as a special guest, only her crew and skater style.
The Canadian rocker, still dressed like a rebel in a black getup with garters, provided roughly a half-hour of fun action with the likes of “Girlfriend,” “Sk8er Boi” and her biggest smash, “Complicated,” which stirred the loudest reaction out of the crowd.
One attendee, Ruby Mascorro, made the trek from McAllen, Texas, not to see Backstreet Boys but “more for her.”
“She was awesome,” the 32-year-old said, reiterating that superlative four more times as her expression perked up talking about the singer.
Then she pointed to her Avril T-shirt: “She’s awesome,” she repeated.

After work I had to drive up to Butler to accompany my mother to my cousinís funeral viewing. On the way I wanted to find a moment of peace and fresh air and also to get a shot of something.
As I walked slowly along a pond, I heard brush snap close to me. Iím beginning to get a bit faster at getting my lens up and snapping away. I was able to focus and compose a series of shots of this deer tearing off through the brush.
For those of you not from around here, this is a white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus, so named for obvious reasons.

High-speed charging systems have evolved by leaps and bounds in the past few years. and we cannot deny that สล็อตทดลองเล่นฟรี Chinese smartphone brands are very important to the development of the fast charging system to this point. However, at present there is still one problem. There is no standard included for these fast charging systems.
Recently, news came out that Chinese smartphone giants Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei and Honor will work together to develop a Universal fast charging standard.
One of the problems from different parties developing their own fast charging system is about the cost of research Because each will have to order to produce their own specific materials. causing a high production cost And there are also problems that cause e-waste.
Because all five companies and other technology companies think that setting international fast charging standards will help reduce such problems. Therefore, we decided to work together to create this standard.

A Journey Through Teddy Roosevelt's Wilderness
Earlier this summer we saw the removal of a statue of Theodore Roosevelt in front of New York City’s American Museum of Natural History. It put our 26th president back in the spotlight, but then again, he never really left it.
In a new book, nature writer David Gessner looks at the life of Roosevelt as a conservationist and naturalist. Roosevelt, Gessner says, understood something no president before him had comprehended, that “there are worlds behind the human world.” He gave us our first national monument and gave the budding environmental movement its rallying cry when he proclaimed, from the rim of the Grand Canyon, “Leave it as it is.” But, Gessner reminds us, Roosevelt also was inclined to respond to natural beauty by killing it. In his book, Leave It As It Is, Gessner tracks Roosevelt’s journey from the badlands in the Dakotas to Utah’s Bears Ears, questioning along the way Roosevelt’s role as a champion of the natural world and assessing how his vision for our wilderness has played out.
David Gessner's book is Leave It As It Is: A Journey Through Theadore Roosevelt's American Wilderness. [IndieBound|Amazon|Bookshop|Audible].

Luanda — Angolan writer, Francisco Paulo, said Thursday in Luanda that the new generation should seek to focus their writings on unity and national reconciliation issues and the Angolan culture.
Speaking to Angop on the state of the national literature, Francisco Paulo said that by so doing the young generation of writers would be contributing to the civic and moral education of the society.
He added that a book gives much more than one can perceive, hence its being considered as a world of words and images in which the reader travels.
The writer highlighted the importance of students to read books on the widest range of subjects.
He also appealed to the youth to research into other cultures through reading.

Fine art print of original piece ‘Aurora On Tour’.
This print is a concert poster for the 1979 Aurora World Tour Chicago Stadium show. The poster features a scannable QR code that pulls up a spotify playlist with curated songs, a record with all the song titles and band members listed, the record label "Runner Records" and a printed texture to give the poster a vintage look.
- 19x13” or 8.5x11
-Printed onto matte high quality paper
- All orders are packaged by me with care.


- Performed well with our test configuration, has HDCP-compliant HDMI audio/video output, integrated design makes it suitable for a silent PC or a media centre
- SATA ports are awkward to use
It's small, it's neat, it's very affordable and it has good features. It isn't an ideal choice for a gaming PC (never say never!), but the MA69GM-S2H is worth considering if you're thinking about building a silent PC or a media centre.
Price$ 115.00 (AUD)
For a quiet media centre or a silent PC, an inexpensive AMD-based system is still an attractive option and Gigabyte's MA69GM-S2H motherboard reinforces that fact. It has a micro-ATX form factor, so it can be installed in a mini-tower ATX case or even in some home-theatre-style cases, and it has all the functionality that's required of a media centre PC.
It can be furnished with an AM2 socket-based AMD CPU and DDR2 RAM, and it has a PCI Express slot for a graphics card. However, it comes with an integrated ATI Radeon X1250 graphics chip, which relies on 128MB of main memory to store graphics data. This solution is ideal if a quiet system is sought, but it may not be a powerful enough option for everyone's needs.
We tested the board using an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU, 1GB of DDR2 800MHz RAM and a 500GB Western Digital Hard drive. WorldBench 6 recorded a score of 79, which is better than we expected considering the integrated graphics. For watching movies and ripping and listening to music, the configuration we used was more than ample, but it struggled to display a free-to-air high definition digital TV signal; stuttering was evident when we maximised the window on our 22in LCD screen (at a resolution of 1680 x 1050) -- standard definition channels didn't stutter. Once we installed a GeForce 7600GT-based graphics card, we were able to watch high definition shows smoothly in full-screen mode.
As for installation, the board has a simple layout, with one PCI Express x4 slot located above the PCI Express x16 slots, and two PCI slots underneath that. There's plenty of room between these slots, the CPU socket and the memory slots. The board's AMD690 chipset (which houses the Radeon graphics chip, too) is passively cooled, but it does get very hot when the integrated graphics are in use. The only problem we have with the board is with its Serial ATA ports, which are located right on the edge of the board and face forward, rather than upward. It makes it tricky to plug in drives once they're installed, especially if drives are placed near these ports. These ports may also prohibit the board from being used in some home theatre-style cases.
Those of you after a silent system will appreciate the integrated graphics and the dynamic fan control for the CPU. The board kept our CPU fan spinning at an inaudible level except when the processing load was full.
For connectivity, the HDMI port on the rear panel can be used to neatly hook up a video and audio signal, but DVI and D-Sub video and optical and analogue audio ports are also available (it also comes with a TV-Out bracket for Component and S-Video connections). The rear port cluster lacks legacy ports apart from PS/2, which makes it look rather sparse. It has gigabit Ethernet, four USB 2.0 ports and a FireWire port, and more of the latter two types of ports reside as pin-headers on the motherboard (for connecting to the ports at the front of a case, for example).

Ultimately this laptop has achieved everything I would hope for in a laptop for work, while fitting that into a form factor and weight that is remarkable.
This smart laptop was enjoyable to use and great to work on – creating content was super simple.
It really doesn’t get more “gaming laptop” than this.
As the Maserati or BMW of laptops, it would fit perfectly in the hands of a professional needing firepower under the hood, sophistication and class on the surface, and gaming prowess (sports mode if you will) in between.
The MSI PS63 is an amazing laptop and I would definitely consider buying one in the future.
This small mobile printer is exactly what I need for invoicing and other jobs such as sending fellow tradesman details or step-by-step instructions that I can easily print off from my phone or the Web.

Despite the market being stacked with several streaming devices, we wouldn’t mind persisting with the Amazon Fire TV Stick. Unlike other relevant gadgets in the market, the Fire TV Stick or any other Fire TV streaming device from Amazon offers an insane level of customization.
But then, the reasons for purchasing one from the extensive streamer range aren’t only restricted to flexibility.
Here are some of the most obvious reasons for investing in a Fire TV Stick, as your streamer of choice:
- The Voice Remote
What works best for the Amazon Fire TV Stick is the availability of an Alexa-powered remote control. While voice support in streaming devices isn’t new, the ability to bring out a remote control that responds to commands is unique and functional.
For those who plan on scaling beyond the monotony of regular scrolling, the Fire TV Stick with the remote bundle comes forth as an inventive solution. But, that’s not it!
You can even link the Fire TV remote to the TV-based controls, precisely for accessing the volume buttons, playback, and other attributes. Also, the ability of this remote to pair with other connected audio hardware, like AV receivers and soundbars also qualifies it as an impactful gadget.
2. HDR Format
If you are more interested in the quality of content as compared to the quantity, the Amazon Fire TV Stick is the best streaming device to purchase for the given price point. Firstly, even the HD devices paired with the TV Stick, are open to HDR support.
The exceptional color gamut, pertaining to the display, is at par with some of the more premium streamers. Most importantly, even the more premium and pricey streaming options like the Shield TV Pro are only restricted to the Dolby Vision support. This attribute readily qualifies the TV Stick as the preferred streaming device, especially for users invested in HDR10+ quality, which is the gold standard for the Prime Video platform.
3. App Compatibility
If you are wondering as to why app compatibility is even one of the many decision-making metrics, consider Roku as a comparable device. Despite being platform-agnostic, Roku doesn’t allow you to install applications and resources at will, especially the third-party ones.
However, things are different with the Fire TV stick. The Amazon Fire TV Stick supports a number of apps that do not come with the device or aren’t even a part of the Amazon ecosystem. While you would still need to jailbreak the Stick and sideload the apps via workarounds, the final experience is pretty rewarding.
Plus, if you are a gamer or a TV freak, Fire TV Stick allows you to pair a wide range of retro games, IPTV applications, and more, at no additional cost. Not just that, you can install and play almost every OTT application, provided you have subscribed to the same.
4. Perfect for Family Viewing
If you want a streaming device that is capable of catering to the entire family, there aren’t many better options in the market as compared to the Fire TV Stick. Unlike some of the other streamers, which lack parental control, Fire TV stick takes productivity to a whole new level by ensuring discretion and better control over the existing pieces of content.
5. VPN Compatible
The Fire TV Stick is one of the few streamers in the market that allow you to pair premium VPNs for improving content accessibility. While a VPN might not be required if you plan on going by the books and viewing content options that come loaded with the Fire TV Stick, side-loading one shouldn’t be a lot of trouble for someone interested in accessing international or region-restricted content.
Also, there are quite a few internet service providers who might throttle the internet speeds when streaming is encountered. A VPN, however, keeps these issues at bay by helping with IP masking.
6. Dedicated Menu
Amazon Fire TV Stick comes equipped with a pretty exhaustive settings menu. However, do not consider this as a bad thing as you get a wide range of options and personalization traits by accessing the menu at length.
Our favorite has to be the minor adjustment that can stop the Autoplay functionality and ensure that trailers and video start playing only when you want them to.
7. The HDMI Extender
If you look at the package closely, you would notice that Amazon makes the HDMI extender available. But then, if you plan on skipping it, consider again. The HDMI extender is a good option for homes where the TV sets aren’t exactly in line with the routers.
Therefore, if you plan on connecting the Fire TV Stick to the HDMI port, you might find it hard to access the wireless network and even the charger for that matter. An HDMI extender allows you to plug the stick into the TV via the cable, which improves the proximity concerning television sets, wireless network, and the charging point.
8. Supports Music Streaming
If you are an audiophile, the Amazon Fire TV Stick comes across as a dependable streaming device by offering access to Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and more. Plus, you can even install Open source media modules like Kodi to further amplify the audio and video-specific indulgences.
9. Supports Mirroring
While some other devices like the Apple TV 4K and Chromecast also offer screen mirroring support, we were most impressed by the ability of the Fire TV Stick that allows you to play Smartphone videos on the television screen. Better termed as Miracast, this functionality makes the Fire TV Stick an excellent family entertainer as you can easily share memories with other members, sans cords.
10. Competitive Pricing
Lastly, if you are looking for a streaming device with the best cost-to-ownership ratio, there isn’t anything better than the Fire TV Stick. At close to 40 dollars, the Fire TV Stick is a deal to beat, especially with HDR vision, Dolby Atmos audio support, and the intuitive Alexa-powered remote control.
As per the mentioned perks, the Amazon Fire TV Stick seems like an excellent buying option, even in 2021 when there are quite a few loaded streaming devices in the market along with the more conspicuous Smart TVs. However, if we had to nitpick, the adverts can often be way more aggressive and definitely the potential deal-breaker.
But then, if you are ready to ignore the same, the Fire TV Stick from Amazon, despite its inclination towards the Amazon Prime streaming platform, is the best and most inclusive streaming device available in the market.

02.09.2009 | News
NEFCO has approved a loan for the development of manure treatment for a pig farm located in Nurma Village in the Leningrad Region. Situated near Saint Petersburg, the farm is owned by JSC Rurik Agro, a subsidiary of the Danish enterprise Rurik AS and the Lithuanian company, UAB Bekoniukas.
The manure project is aimed at modernizing the processing of pig waste by installing lagoons lined with membrane layers.
These measures will prevent leakage of liquid manure into the surrounding environment, and radically reduce the current discharge of nutrients into the Igolinka stream, which flows into the Gulf of Finland.
Discharges of phosphorous from the pig farm are expected to decrease by 129 tonnes per year, a target that is in line with the objectives set by the Helsinki Commission’s Baltic Sea Action Plan. The project will also reduce water consumption at the pig farm by some 230, 000 cubic metres per year.
“The project is clearly a win-win case, with benefits both accruing to the Baltic Sea and the climate, mainly, as a result of the instalment of new equipment, which will reduce the pig farm’s electricity consumption by more than 60 per cent”, says Elisabet Paulig-Tönnes, Senior Manager at NEFCO.
Three lagoons, with a capacity of 20, 000 cubic metres each, will be installed on the farm this year. Part of the pig waste will be also composted and used as manure for parks and gardens in the region. The construction of the lagoons will be based on EU criteria.
NEFCO’s loan for the project was granted from the facility for Eco Efficiency Credits. Under the terms of the facility, NEFCO may finance up to 90 per cent, or a maximum sum of EUR 400,000, of the investment costs in projects which receive funds from this facility. The repayment of the loan is directly tied to the savings of the investment. The annual savings of the project should be at least 12 per cent of the total investment costs.
