HOLIDAZE!!! I could be a bit of a small jealous.

OMG greek islands! paradise!

Looks like a more luxurious version of a holiday I took in my youth with four friends; started in Athens too, then via Piraeus to Naxos, Ios, Paros, Syros, and Mykonos. We opted for the sleep out under the stars method because we weren't rich Norwegians. I imagine you'll have a wonderful time.
- Mark H
It was kind of tough to choose islands- Santorini (Thira) was our primary destination, Eivind wanted to see Rhodes, I wanted to see Crete, Eivind discovered something nerdy about Naxos and wanted to visit, and Ios and I have a special history (http://taoofcoffee.com/...). Sinfos was picked because of its natural beauty. As far as fancy digs- two nights will be spent on...

Have been to Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Santorini, Skiathos and Kefalonia. Not heard of Sinfos! Santorini is fabulous. Sure you will have a great time.
- Son of Groucho
If you visit Naxos, you can consider Amorgos too. And another (less known but just beautiful) island in Northern Greece is Thassos. Enjoy your greek holidays, Kalimera from Greece :)

Banff motorcyclist pursued by ‘massive’ grey wolf | Canada | News | National Post - http://news.nationalpost.com/2013...

"Last Saturday, Banff mechanic Tim Bartlett was christening a new motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains when he had a rare wildlife encounter that was equal parts terrifying and enchanting. On a stretch of British Columbia’s Highway 93, a massive grey wolf emerged from the trees, lunged at his speeding ride and chased after him at full speed as he pulled away. The story would have become little more than another legend clanging around the roadhouses of Western Canada if Mr. Bartlett had not whipped a camera out of his top pocket to record the event for posterity; capturing a series of rare snapshots that have since been beamed around the world. The Post’s Tristin Hopper reached him by phone on Friday morning."

- Spidra Webster
I know, right? I've been chased by dogs but never by something that could actually eat me. O.O

I applaud this guy's presence of mind to slow down and take pictures. I think I would have just hit the gas and run off crying.

I saw a _giant_ dog on a Calgary bus one day. Looked like a husky, I guess, but was so big I still think to this day that it was at least part wolf.
- Andrew C (✓)
It's possible - I think huskies usually have shorter legs and a barrel chest, right? I saw a wolf-husky hybrid in a parking lot in LA a couple of years ago and even though the owner had him *very* well-trained it was intimidating just to stand next to him.

I have avoided the stage 4 cancer talk, for the brain they use a different term. If the tumor started in the brain, is normally does not spread. if it developed elsewhere then there is a problem. They think it is glioblastoma tumor. I have this period of time where I can type. I do not think I will have this in the next few days. this is the 4th room 2nd hospital since Friday. thank you for your prayers and support. I miss ff.

Still not official, but the team at csc believe it to be glioblastoma grade 4. The dr who talked to us today warned us about googling it. We may try something in addition to the radiation and chemo. It returns. Not sure yet what we will do. My wife is starting to use my name, and initiate sentences, she is short with me,which is better than silence. Hopefully her brain can rewire itself. I love her.

((hugs)) Glad she is responding to you, that is good. Once they have a firm diagnosis you can see what your options are, and what you might want to do. Try and get some rest, you need to take care of yourself, too. And if you have questions, write them down so you can remember to ask them. All the best, Mike, and let us know if you need anything.

I remember a while ago someone posted an animated gif which was apparently coming from an external host and my (and some other people's) anti virus system started showing that as a treat. The worse part is that, there are many Iranian activists here and for the Ciber Army of Islamic Republic this was the easiest way to find their IP's. We have chosen FF because it's the most free and secure environment in the net. FF didn't do anything about the spammers, at least this was a good move.

Redwood forests are pretty tough, so as long as they didn't mess with the trees and cleaned up, it's hard to imagine them doing much damage. Nothing grows under the trees anyway.

Actually there's an entire understory structure to redwood forests that includes multiple types of evergreen and deciduous tree types, ferns, shrubs, grasses, forbs, etc. Not to mention the wildlife, insects, and birds that are indigenous to understory and midstory habitat within redwood groves. Additionally, they removed the leaf litter prior to construction which of course leads to...

"I removed (or covered) all the black asphalt (which I found appalling) using either bulldozers or just by spreading dirt and forest brush around the area." Followed by: " I didn't want to disrupt the natural habitat." THAN WHY DID YOU BULLDOZE THE FRACKING FOREST!
- Heather
My understanding was that the forest was already fairly altered before he screwed with it.
- Victor Ganata
I get that he's saying it was a camping area that was fairly altered, but if you don't want to "disrupt" nature, you don't bulldoze it and you don't do construction on the level of building a fake pond. Also, I was really confused if the campground was supposed to reopen or not, but if it's supposed to reopen, he destroyed what was put there so it will likely have to be reworked, again....

Yeah, it does seem like the Ventana Inn reneged on its deal with the CCC to keep the campground and the parking lot open to the public. But it also sounds like the site Parker picked was already a parking lot, so all those issues probably already existed, and, based on the CCC report, he made things worse.
- Victor Ganata
Yeah, that site was already problematic even before Parker showed up: "Upon staff investigation, it was determined that the public campground has in fact been closed since September 2007 as a result of a Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board Order to replace the property’s failed septic systems, and an order to close the campground and limit Inn capacity issued the County...

- Victor Ganata
So clearly Parker was in the right to just show up and potentially make things worse. Man, the human condition needs to get over itself already. I have a real problem with people who profess to love nature and then go out of their way to fuck with nature. If you love nature so goddamned much, then your wedding shouldn't have been much more than a bride, a groom, an officiant, and two witnesses in that forest. Period.

Also, I call absolute shenanigans on him saying that the Save the Redwoods League basically sanctioned his actions. I am a long-time member of SRL and a part of their Redwood Leadership Society, and there is no way on God's green earth that the League would have been OK with what he did. I'm guessing they provided him with suggestions of where would be a place to hold a wedding that...

So is it a requirment that Facebook top brass be assholes or is it just coincidence? #inquiringminds
- WarLord
I agree that Parker's motives still seem pretty dubious, and, yeah, he definitely seems to have made things worse, but on the bright side, now that he's on the hook for a couple of million of dollars, the CCC might actually be able to do something to fix the site that the Ventana Inn basically abandoned and made inaccessible to the public. I guess my only point is that there were more assholes than just Parker who made this debacle even possible.
- Victor Ganata
Parker was definitely long in training to be Facebook asshole royalty. I had the misfortune of partying with him and Shawn Fanning back in the earlier Napster days (my cousin ran in that circle and dragged me to a series of parties with her) and while Fanning was infinitely less douchey than Parker, the entire experience was one of those "Oh my god I can't believe I wasted makeup on this" situations. Parker spent a lot of time bragging about himself. Good luck to his wife.

Marathon Runner Has Unexpected Baby While Training - http://www.sportsgrid.com/video...

"Don’t you hate it when you’re training for a big race and you unexpectedly have a baby? So annoying. Trish Staine of Duluth, MN, says she had no idea she was pregnant while she was training for the Grandma’s Half Marathon recently. But after one training run she began having back pain, and so took a trip to the doctor. They found a second heartbeat. The call is coming from inside the house!"

- DB, Just DB #TeamMonique
Y'know. I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree and all. But...I'm pretty sure I'd be able to figure out if I'm pregnant. At least one symptom has to be showing up at some point. Y'know, like a belly. Or no period. Or morning sickness. Or water retention. Or the baby moving. Or the baby kicking. Or the random weird cravings. Or the sore nipples. Or the growing boobs. Or. Yeah.
- Hookuh Tinypants
"The call is coming from inside the house!" did make me laughsnort though.
- holly #ravingfangirl
That's the thing. She says in the story that she didn't miss a period, didn't experience weight gain, etc. I guess it does happen.

And the baby never moved once? Yeah. I'm calling stupidity on this one.

First hand accounts with pregnant people not knowing they were pregnant. At some point most were told they would never ever conceive. With that in the mindset the next avenue is "gastric distress", when the baby is moving. Each instance the patient was sent to ultrasound for large abdominal tumor. I love when the patient denies any chance of pregnancy too.

Basic question: Assuming I don't wish to acquire a man-purse, how the hell do you carry around reading glasses? The case is too big to fit comfortably in my pocket.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Get a smaller case? Or, if you don't mind the old nerd look, get a rubber tube thingie so it hangs on your neck?
- Arlan K.
Word of advice from my uncle the optician: nevernever lay your glasses on the table "right side up". Place them with the ear hooks pointing up. It helps prevent strain on the frame and keeps the glasses from warping.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
We had mini readers that fit in a pen, fat pen but a pen!

Get a more flat slip case with a pocket clip. But get a semi-hard, leather case because frameless glasses need protection.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
fwiw, likely you'll only need to deal with this problem for awhile - give it a few years - might graduate to wearing them all the time. #guywithglassesjustsayin Oh, and I vote for a chain for hanging them around your neck.
