About the author:
Richard Bauman has been writing articles for 30 years and has been published in more than 300 national and international publications. He enjoys writing about little-known nuggets of history, lesser-known historical places, and the people involved in them. He's part detective, part trivia hound, and part amateur historian.
On December 6, 1884, with rain falling and wind gusting to 55 mph, a steam hoist lifted the two-ton pyramidion marble capstone to the top of the Washington Monument, thus bringing it nearly to its full height of 555.5 feet. Despite its simple grandeur, taking the monument from artist's concept to this completion took more than 50 torturous years.
The Washington National Monument Society
In the early 1800s, efforts by U.S. government agencies to build a monument honoring George Washington suffered several false starts. In September 1833, the Washington National Monument Society was founded in another attempt to build a monument, led by then Chief Justice John Marshall.
The society's first major task was fundraising. It wanted everyone in the country to have an equal opportunity to help build the monument. Thus, contributions were restricted to one dollar per year per person – a noble idea, but impractical. By 1836, only $28,000 had trickled in.
However, that was enough to hold a design competition. The winner: South Carolinian Robert Mills, one of the most renowned contemporary American architects.
Mills envisioned the world's largest and grandest monument honoring one person: an imposing circular colonnaded building 100 feet high with an obelisk shaft in the center 600 feet tall.

Banjo, Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Percussion, Songwriting, Upright Bass
I am an accomplished performing musician that has experience playing many different instruments in multiple styles. I believe first and foremost that learning music should be fun and exciting with an emphasis on self exploration and communication. It's these qualities in my own musicianship that have helped me grow a true love of music and have pushed my career forward as a performer.
*** Lesson Details ***
In lessons I use a shifting curriculum that is made to work with the needs of each individual student. I firmly believe in the importance of learning to read music and learning some basic music theory, in my experience this helps the student grow from being able to reproduce the music of others to eventually developing a unique style and sound. After three to six months my beginning level students typically feel comfortable enough to play with other musicians confidently.
*** Studio Equipment ***
The In-Studio lessons take place in the living room seating and a guitar are available. 1 cat and 1 small dog kept separate during lessons.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide all of the necessary educational tools such as listening samples, and printed off hand outs. The student needs to have their own instrument, staff paper and a pencil.
Accordion, Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Theory, Piano, Trombone, Tuba, Ukulele
I am a music educator. I received my Bachelor's in Music Education from the University of Central Florida in 2011.
My higher education started in the Fall of 2006 when I began attending Daytona Beach Community College. My two years there were spent fully engaged in all activities. I finished my GED requirements while participating in many ensembles like the Ormond Beach Symphony Orchestra, Daytona Beach Community College Concert Band, Brass Ensemble, Falcon Pans (steel drum ensemble), Pit Orchestra for musicals, and Choir. All of these ensembles helped me increase my awareness of many different teaching and directing styles. I enjoyed participating in the college's annual Medieval Yuletide Feast while playing the trombone, tuba, and singing in the choir. These experiences augmented my ability to manage my time while having the opportunity to go to school.
Almost every summer since 2005 my church has help send me to Port-du-paix, Haiti, for two weeks at a time. There we are encouraged to do many things involving teaching children, feeding the elderly and needy, and meeting new people that have made a difference in each of our lives. One of the opportunities I had during the summer of 2006 was helping teach two rehearsals of a small brass ensemble. The teacher who was heading the project had brought many donated instruments with her from Kentucky, and distributed them to the students prior to my arrival. She didn't know much about brass instruments (saxophonist), so I got to step in and take the players aside to teach the basics. Even though there was a language barrier, I was able to communicate using hand gestures, my little knowledge of Creole, and the universal language of music. This was one of the best times I have had in my life.
Another great accomplishment I have had is being a contra player in the Teal Sound Drum and Bugle Corps for the 2008 season. This opportunity ensured my discipline to tough through hard. The sole act of carrying a brass instrument that weighs over 25 lbs around all summer is a difficult task, but I had a lot of fun doing it. I also got to meet many people all over the United States that play the same instrument I do and have a similar life as mine. We had the overall score of fifth place, but our hard work and perseverance is obvious in our finals performance video.
I am a proud sister of Sigma Alpha Iota. I have held important positions including Corresponding Secretary and have headed many chair positions. The sisters of Zeta Tau are a very supportive group full of diversity. Having our weekly meetings and formal business meetings keep me up to date with Robert's Rules of Order. I have transferred the things I have learned from these meetings to other organizations like CMENC. At the time when I was leaving the college level, I receive the Sword of Honor from our province officer. Every Spring I attend FMEA in Tampa. I made many very important connections with other educators and soon to be educators.
I also taught three years at a Title I elementary school in Osceola County, FL. It was a very tough three years, but I am grateful for all of the strategies and steps I've learned to make me a better teacher. In my second year at the school, I received the honor of being voted Teacher of the Year for our school. That was such a humbling time in my career.

Ben wants to start exercising regularly, but feels dumb asking how. He knows that in order to run or ride a bike he can't just start sprinting or pedaling like a maniac. He needs to prepare his body for these activities, but has heard mixed things about stretching before working out.
Here are the cold, hard facts on warming up, stretching, and cooling down.
It's important to warm up your body before any physical activity. Warming up for about 5-10 minutes goes a long way toward preparing the body for exercising, both physically and mentally. It also helps prevent injuries.
The term "warm-up" describes many light-aerobic and cardiovascular activities. When you warm up, you are literally warming up the temperature of both your body and your muscles.
Warming up also:
You can use many types of warm-up activities to prepare your body for intense physical exercise. Often a warm-up activity is simply the activity you are about to do but at a slower pace. For example, if you're about to go for a brisk run, warm up with a light jog, and if you're going to go for a swim, do a couple of slow freestyle warm-up laps. If you play a sport, focus on the muscles that are used for your particular sport. For instance, if you play baseball, you might focus on your shoulder for throwing.
Dynamic stretching uses many muscle groups in a sport specific manner and can be incorporated in your warm-up. In addition to warming up the body and preparing muscles that will be used in the activity, dynamic stretching allows for full range of motion of the joints.
Stretching used to be considered the main activity before a workout. Recent studies have called into question the benefits of stretching before working out. Traditional, or "static," stretching may lead to decreased muscle strength and performance. Consider doing dynamic stretches before and static stretching after a workout.
Stretching still can be a beneficial activity after you have sufficiently warmed up. The reason for this is that stretching cold muscles can directly contribute to pulled or injured muscles.
Stretching properly may reduce muscle injuries and improve athletic performance. In addition, stretching provides increased:
Stretching has to be done right to have benefits, though. Here are some tips on stretching properly:
Stop if it hurts. Stretching should never hurt. If you have reached a point in your stretch where it hurts, relax to where it feels comfortable and hold the stretch.
Maintain each stretch for 10-30 seconds. Holding a stretch for any less won't sufficiently lengthen the muscle. Holding a stretch for longer may have negative effects on performance. Stretch the muscles gradually and don't force it. Avoid bobbing. Bobbing or bouncing while stretching may insure the muscle you are stretching. This damage may even cause scar tissue to form. Scar tissue tightens muscles and can get in the way of flexibility.
Remember to breathe. Breathing is a necessary part of any workout, including stretching.
Practice equality. Even if you are a righty, it doesn't mean that you should neglect the left side of your body. Make sure you stretch both sides equally, so all of your muscles are evenly ready for action.
If you play a sport, you should do-warm ups that go with that sport. The same is true for stretching. These types of stretches are known as sports-specific stretches, and they focus on the muscles that are used for your particular sport. For instance, if you play baseball you might focus on your shoulder for throwing or your forearm for batting.
Stretch regularly. To maintain flexibility, you should stretch at least 3 days a week.
The most efficient way of slowing down a car or bike isn't by riding straight into a brick wall. The same way you have to gradually slow down either your bike or your car, you need to slow down your body after a workout or exercise: 5-10 minutes of slowed-down, easy activities will go a long way in helping your body recover from a workout.
Your cool-down routine can vary from workout to workout. It should include light aerobic activity and stretching. If you're running at a quick pace, you can slow down to a steady walk to cool down. Cooling down and stretching at the end of a workout help to:
Whether you are new to working out or have been playing a sport your entire life, adding a good before-and-after routine to your workout will give you the best chance of avoiding injuries and may even help improve your performance.

What is the most important information I should know about theophylline?
If there are any changes in the brand, strength, or type of theophylline you use, your dosage needs may change. Always check your medicine when it is refilled to make sure you have received the correct brand and type as prescribed by your doctor. Ask the pharmacist if you have any questions about the medicine you receive at the pharmacy.
Do not start or stop smoking without first talking to your doctor. Smoking changes the way your body uses theophylline, and you may need to use a different dose.
Avoid drinks or foods that contain caffeine, such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate. Caffeine may increase some of the side effects of theophylline.
There are many other medicines that can interact with theophylline. Tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list with you of all the medicines you use and show this list to any doctor or other healthcare provider who treats you.

Bella kissed him back.
Edward-I started to deepen our kiss more
Bella wrapped her arms around his neck.
Edward-I slowly walked us over to the edge of the bed, and continued
Bella slid her hands down to his chest and gripped his shirt pulling him closer before she heard the baby cry. She sighed and walked over to her and picked her up.She gently placed her before walking downstairs.
Edward-I watched her holding the baby. I didn't know whether to wait here or go downstairs with her
Bella warmed up a bottle for her and walked upstairs holding the bottle for her daughter. She walked over to the rocking chair slightly rocking as she feed her.
Edward-I went over to them, "She has your eyes."
Bella looked up at him and smiled a bit."Well of course she does." She sighed and placed the bottle down, placing her over her shoulder lightly patting her back.
Edward-I smiled lightly at her. I watched her as she held them and kissed her cheek.
Bella giggled a bit and smiled back at him just as the baby burped. She put her in a cradle position in her arms. She rocked her lightly and cooed at her.
Edward-I smiled a little at him and looked at them being together.

5 Reasons Gas Prices Keep Rising
Gas today was $3.84 a gallon. The real reason they tell us that the gas prices are going up is because of the conflict in Libya. Isn't it wonderful that the most volatile and unstable region of the world is always where we get our crude oil? Here's my 5 reasons that gas prices keep rising.

This is an idea I had I hope you enjoy it as much as I write it (:
What if Bella had an older brother when she was human? What if her older brother was Emmett? What if Emmett one day went for a hunting trip and never came back? Bella receives the news that her older brother died in a bear attack. Or she thinks............
Chapter 1: Goodbye for know...
"Emmett?" I asked. Emmett is my older brother. He's the only thing I have. My parents died in a car accident when I was 14 years old. At that time Emmett was 18 and because he was my older brother and 18 he had taken in charge. I'm 17 my Emmy is 21.
I don't know what I would have ever done without him. Just then Emmett appeared. "Hey Bells" he said while he gave me a bone crushing hug. I laughed "What's that for Emmy?" I said while using the nickname he hates being called. "Nothing's wrong squirt I just have to go on another hunting trip" he while he put me down. I frowned "Another one did you not come from one a couple of days ago?". Emmett noticed my frown "Bells I know how much you hate when I'm away but you know that we need the money" he pleaded for my understanding. I crossed my arms across my chest. "So? You do realize that I can just get a job end of problem." I said. "Bells you're my little sister I'm supposed to be the one taking care of you not the other way around." He said. I smiled my Emmy always the caring one he always put my needs in front of his. I sighed, "Fine but hurry back Emmy". "You're the best Bells" he said while coming to give me a big hug. "One last thing, here I bought you this one it's of a kind" he said, pulling out a Silver necklace that has half a heart that says "Emmy". "I bought 2 silver ones each one holding half a heart and when untied it has one whole heart. Yours has Emmy and my half heart says Bells. We won't ever be separated Bells" I rushed and gave him a hug. "Hurry back" was the last thing I told him before he went out. "Goodbye Emmett" I whispered.
Emmett's POV
On my way out I grabbed my gun. I walked out to the forest. The fresh air came to me at once I love the nature. I would have stayed here all day but I know bells would get mad I know how she worries for me. I thought as I smiled. I was caught off guard when I heard something behind me grab me and start to claw their way through me the agony was huge. Bella was my last thought while I fell to the darkness………….
Bella's POV
It was getting late where was Emmett I was going to kill him when he got home he know how worried I get when he goes hunting for a long time. At that second I felt pain go through my heart. Emmett something went wrong something had to my heart just doesn't hurt unless something bad happened to Emmett. Oh no. I held the silver necklace that he gave me. "Emmy it said. " Emmett please come back safe and sound I don't want to lose you like I lost mom and dad……."
thats the first chapter i hope u liked it please post your comment on what you thought thnx ;)

Wow its been so long! Well I wont give up on this story! For the people who messaged me on taking over my story, I say no. I have worked hard on the plot, but now I will keep a regular update! :)
well I re-read my chapters and wow! I had horrible grammar, well im better at it now, enjoy!!`~ Gina Rose <3
I looked behind me, it was Alec's voice... I closed my eyes tightly, this was a nightmare, this couldn't be happening. "Alec my dear, sadly if you chose that then I will have to kill you" Aro said loudly, I opened my eyes and glared at him. It was all his fault, "No, Aro-" I was cut off by Star, "Look pops, leave Bella and Alec go, you can keep me here and kill me if you wish" She said with determination. My frozen heart broke, I stood frozen. My brain finally processing what she had said.
"Star, don't you dare" I growled at her, she shook her hear, and smiled at me and Alec. "Look its been fun these past century but the fun ends here, I've already lived a long time. Its your turn go be happy." with that she flicked her hands and Emmett, Alec and myself were pulled outside the castle doors by a powerful force. I heard a heart pitching scream and a loud rip. Then it was deadly quiet...
I don't remember anything after than I just remember being in the state of shock, then I snapped. I quickly used all of my powers and pushed the castle doors, I saw Aro had a evil gleam in his eyes. I lost it, I let loose everything, my force was at its ultimate, I was breathing hard. At this same second Aro lost his gleam and had a terrified look in his eyes. I didn't care, star my creator was dead all because of him. My powers shock everything and then the castle shook 5 times each time with a bigger thud. I was filled with rage, I heard faint voices calling out my name.
I didn't focus on there voice I wanted to kill Aro for what he did, "ARO" I screamed and then I blew it, I flung everyone with my force, then it stopped. Everything looked stilled as if time had stopped. I felt someones hand on my shoulder I turned my head and saw star, I felt like crying or hugging her or punching her for scaring me- "Bella, stop and listen don't go this road I'm gone, its OK, I'll be back someday somehow. Trust me.." and with those last words she disappeared, no. NO NO NO! I dropped to my knees, she was gone, she was the only one who's always been there for me. "Isabella, I'm very disappointed" I heard Aro's voice and something ticked and I smiled, I flicked one finger and slowly his right arm started to get on fire, and I smiled wider it grew he panicked. I could smell death already in the air, I was going for the kill and then someone hugged me tightly from behind, "Bella boo, no your not a killer, don't kill him. Don't get your hands dirty with these vampires. Don't do it baby sister" Emmett... I instantly stopped, I nodded. He carried me and I felt someone beside me , I smelled Alec, I also heard Aro breathing hard. I shut down all my powers, I was drained and darkness consumed me.
sorry its short, hope to hear from yu guyz
i loved it. please keep going. please keep me updated!

Joy's Beach Lovers Bedroom
My Bedroom Retreat Contest
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Joy
- Location:
- Fairfax, VA
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- My husband and I are avid beach-lovers and design enthusiasts, so I love that our room is a moody blend of both. Rustic beach house meets sophisticated comfort. Some of my favorite things are the gray linen headboard which I DIY'ed when I was 9 months pregnant (I don't recommend this...) and the pallet wood frame I built for the Wyeth print hanging above the dresser. We also picked out the piece of driftwood from a little roadside shop on one of our vacations. These things make the room feel like it is actually ours and not just a pretty space. I love how the layered textures and graphic, monochromatic patterns combine to create an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?
- We have two kids, ages three and one, so having a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom is challenging, to say the least. A few rules make it a little easier. This is a no brainer, but the bed gets made every morningâthis is huge in keeping order for the rest of the day. Another priority I have is for everything to have a home, so that stray stuff can be put away easily. We have a large hamper for unsightly laundry, and our bedding is easy to clean. White duvets and bleach are great friends!
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?
- I started seriously assembling our room a few months before our second child was born. Since he would be sharing our room, I knew that I needed a pleasant environment to help me stay sane. Our room is one of the most used rooms in the house, and I love that my husband can work from home, we can rock the baby to sleep, and read to my daughter all in the same space.

I'm also a beach lover and I'm getting ready to paint and decorate my bedroom and this is very similar to what I have in mind, even down to the bedding. Love it!
I love the textures in this room and the color combination is just beautiful! Great job! Oh, and the headboard...also beautiful and wow..you did it while 9 months pregnant?! :) That's awesome!
Love the paint. What color is it?
Lovely colour palette. Very restful.
That color is beautiful. What is it called?
The color is Martha Stewart "Hosta". But we had them mix it at 60 or 70% pigment, because the original was a bit too dark. Thanks for your comments!
I thought I wanted to go dark when I paint our master bedroom, but I'm saving pictures of your room as inspiration for a lighter alternative. Lovely, just really beautiful and relaxing!
You're not that far from me (Sterling!) & have almost the exact look I'm aspiring to in my own room! I'm leaning more toward gray walls & blue everywhere else, but I may change my mind now. Gorgeous!

I think that,
I think that,
1 you miss your welfare epics,
2 you don't know your facts, most of the un-subs in wotlk we due to content being too easy.
3 judging by the down rating of your comment the the majority of people believe that, that Cata heroics > wrath heroics because you actually have to do something, not just stand there and press one button.
I will be sad when 4.1 hits and welfare epics are returned :'(

Motherhood has changed Beyonce , but it certainly hasn't stopped her whirlwind pace. The singer was in the midst of a commercial shoot for L'Oreal when she stepped away from the wind machines and cameras to do an interview for Vogue 's March 2013 cover story, while just down the hall Bey's baby girl, Blue Ivy , was being lulled to sleep.
"She's my road dog," Beyonce tells the magazine. "She's my homey, my best friend."
Instead of leaving Blue with a sitter or hubby, Jay-Z , when she's working on her music, Beyonce has been known to bring her little one to the recording studio. Gwyneth Paltrow has seen it firsthand, peeking in on her pal Beyonce at work, and witnessing the mother-daughter collaborations up close. "Blue was sleeping in her arms, across her body, and B was listening back to what she had been working on," Paltrow tells Vogue . "I thought, 'This is how you do it. You do what you love with who you love included.'"
Kelly Rowland tells Vogue that Beyonce's motherly instinct goes back to their childhood together in Houston. But according to Bey, she began feeling "very maternal around eight months," in her pregnancy.
That connection to Blue became even deeper during labor, Beyonce explains. "I felt like when I was having contractions, I envisioned my child pushing through a very heavy door. And I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn't think about my own pain.... We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication," Bey tells Vogue .
The singer gives fans an intimate look at her life, including Blue's sonogram, in her upcoming HBO documentary Life Is but a Dream , airing this weekend. In the special, Bey talks about rumors that her pregnancy was fake -- a theory that she can't quite wrap her head around. "That was very odd," Beyoncé says to Vogue . "Who even thinks that? Like, who would make that up.... You can't take it too seriously."
Still, when Beyonce stumbles across a story about herself on the Internet, she reads it. As a rule, though, she stops before she gets to the comments section, where opinions can be full-on personal attacks. "Don't scroll down!" Beyonce says. "You're definitely going to get your feelings hurt."
The singer will tell her own story when she appears on Oprah's Next Chapter this Saturday. The interview with Oprah Winfrey will be Beyonce's first interview since she performed at this year's Super Bowl halftime show. Immediately following that television premiere, Beyonce will unveil her Life Is but a Dream special on HBO at 9 p.m. E.T.

The first thing you hear from the guides on arrival at AÏT BENHADDOU, 190km from Marrakesh and just 34km from Ouarzazate, is a list of its film credits. Though this is a feature of much of the Moroccan south, the Benhaddou ksar has a definite edge over the competition. Lawrence of Arabia was filmed here, of course; Orson Welles used it as a location for Sodom and Gomorrah; and for Jesus of Nazareth the whole lower part of the village was rebuilt. In recent years, more controlled restoration has been carried out under UNESCO auspices, while film crews have been involved in some "re-modelling".
With its souvenir shops and constant stream of tour groups, Aït Benhaddou is not really the place to catch a glimpse of fading ksar life, but it is one of the most spectacular sights of the Atlas, piled upon a low hillock above a shallow, reed-strewn river. Its buildings are among the most elaborately decorated and best preserved in the south; they are less fortified than is usually the case along the Drâa or the Dadès, but, towered and crenellated, and with high, sheer walls of dark red pisé, they must have been near impregnable in this remote, hillside site.Read More
The ksar
The ksar
As ever, it's impossible to determine exactly how old the ksar of Aït Benhaddou is, though there seem to have been buildings here since at least the eleventh century. The importance of the site, which commands the area for miles around, was its position on the trans-Saharan trade route from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate and the south. In the twentieth century, the significance of this route disappeared with the creation of the Tizi n'Tichka, which has led to severe depopulation – there are now only half a dozen families inhabiting the kasbahs, earning a sparse living from the valley's agriculture and rather more from the tourists who pass through.
Follow the network of lanes uphill and you'll eventually arrive at the ruins of a vast and imposing agadir, or fortified granary, from where there are great views over the surrounding desert.

Production of raw steel in the United States is expected to have increased about 3 percent in 2012 from a year earlier, according to early estimates from the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Thomas Gibson, president and CEO of the Washington-based trade association representing the interests of the North American steel industry, said steel production last year is expected to grow for the fourth consecutive year. Domestic mills produced 95.2 million tons of raw steel in 2011.
Apparent U.S. steel consumption is expected to have risen 3.7 percent to 110 million tons in 2012.
"Steel is doing a little bit better than the economy as a whole, but it's still a fragile recovery," Gibson said.
However, the 2012 level remains less than the 100 million-ton mark exceeded in each year between 2002 and 2008. During those seven years, the average capacity utilization rate was 87.4 percent.
Finished steel imports represented about 24 percent of the domestic steel market, according to an AISI analysis of U.S. Department of Commerce steel import permit applications. Total steel imports based on permit applications in 2012 was about 33.3 million tons, which was about 17 percent from a year earlier.
Gibson said producers are concerned that import levels are rising faster than steel production to support the small growth in steel consumption.
"We are very concerned that in a still fragile, recovering economy, imports, especially unfairly trade imports from places like China, are penetrating this market" at the expense of domestic producers, Gibson said.
David Phelps, president of the American Institute for International Steel, a trade association supporting free trade, said in a statement that the higher level of imports reflect the improvement in the U.S. steel market.
In order to boost activity within the steel industry, Gibson said it's up to Congress and the Obama administration to adopt pro-growth policies and enforce trade laws.
Raw steel production in the country's Great Lakes region was 683,000 tons in the week that ended Dec. 29, according to estimates from the American Iron and Steel Institute.
Production was up 4,000 tons from the week prior. The majority of raw steel production in the Great Lakes region occurs in Indiana and the Chicago area.
Production in the Southern District was estimated at 612,000 tons during the period that ended Dec. 29, down from about 635,000 tons a week earlier.
Domestic mills produced about 1.83 million tons of steel last week, down 1.9 percent from the same period in 2011.
U.S. steel mills had a capacity utilization rate of 73.9 percent last week, which is down from a 74.5 percent production rate a week earlier.

I eat a lot. A whole lot of f Thai food that is. I have an obsession with Thai dishes. If I was on death row for committing a capital crime, my last meal would be Kra-pow gai. That's basil leaf chicken for non kon-thais (thai people)
A long time ago my ex and I would always giggle whenever we heard people say "Can we order the FAT Thai. I know sometimes the menu reads FAT thai, but really you should pronounce it phut thai or pad thai.

Bauer's Canyon Ranch RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
A great little park with owner/operator very friendly people. Very quiet park with nice gravel sites with grass between. Convenient to Bryce Canyon (40 minutes) and Zion National Park (20 minutes) and about 2 hours north of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Nice creek adjacent to the park. Didn't catch any fish though. We would definitely go back.
San Antonio, Texas
Admiralty RV Resort
[ 5/10 ]
The Park is 25 years old, therefore longest site is 60 ft. Width is tight but there are concrete pads, brick patios, and a small picnic table. We put out our awning and were about 5 ft. away from the neighbor's sewer hook up. It is very convenient to Seaworld. About 18 miles from downtown San Antonio. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Some sites have a significant downward exit slope. Others are flat.There are clean restrooms and a large pool. There is a small playground and an air conditioned clean laundry.

My only issue with this is that Batman isn't on top. Notice how everyone else looks really focused except for Aquaman who seems to be pissing himself at something Green Lantern said - I assume it had something to do with how hot Batgirl looks ;)
Well, I wasn't around in 1976, but if I was I probably would have begged my parents to take me to see the DC Comic's characters in a water skiing show at Seaworld.
I'm glad to see Mera there, considering the character literally became popular 33 years later…

Edible Books!
Published on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 9:52am
As part of the Read In this year, the Takoma Park Library is hosting an edible books contest. What, you ask, is an edible book? It is the most delicious of literary creations! Simply think of your favorite book or author to get you started, and then decide how to make an edible version of that story. It could be a cake frosted to look just like the cover of a book, or it could be more abstract. Check out the examples below, or just Google images for "edible books."
As you can see, you can use any food to construct your "book," although cake is a very popular format for this project. Bring your literary confection to the library on the day of the Read In, Saturday, March 10, at 1 p.m. Please bring a place card with your name, the title of the book that inspired your creation and a list of ingredients. We will display the edible books on a table for patrons to admire. And then, we will feast!
Questions? Please call us at 202-576-7252.
Happy book cooking!

Utah is receiving an estimated $171 million in money, reductions in mortgage principals and loan modifications as its portion of a sweeping $25 billion deal struck by 49 states and the federal government with five of the largest U.S. banks.
Many Utah homeowners who lost their homes to foreclosure over the past four years will get about $2,000 apiece in compensation. Those who are being foreclosed on or whose loan is for more than their home is worth (known as being underwater) could receive reductions in principals of their loans, modifications of the terms or forgiveness of penalties.
How the deal will affect individuals
» Five major banks will reduce loans for nearly 1 million U.S. households.
» The settlement applies only to privately held mortgages issued from 2008 through 2011
» The banks will also send checks of $2,000 to about 750,000 Americans who were improperly foreclosed upon.
» The accord will make it easier for those at risk of foreclosure to make payments and keep their homes

Others who can't afford payments even with a modification could be allowed short sales for less than the worth of their loans or "cash for keys" deals that allow them to walk away.
At a Thursday morning news conference to announce the Utah portion of the settlement, Gov. Gary Herbert and Attorney General Mark Shurtleff called the deal "historic" and second only to the state's portion of the 1998 settlement with tobacco companies over health care costs that was to bring Utah $1 billion over 25 years.
"It's not a good day from the standpoint we have victims out there, people who are hurting, and people have been unethical in behavior and fraudulent in behavior," the governor said. "But the good news here is we've taken action to remedy the problem."
The state will get about $23 million in cash from the deal, a portion of which Herbert said he wanted the Legislature to allocate to homeowner education and counseling. Only Oklahoma held out among states in signing on to the $25 billion deal to settle abusive foreclosure practices.
The settlement is being ratified through a lawsuit in the District of Columbia over fraudulent and improper foreclosure practices that in Utah included foreclosing on properties after inducing a homeowner to miss payments in order to try to qualify for a loan modification. Thousands of Utah homeowners also have been frustrated because banks that service loans have been highly dysfunctional and disorganized when working with homeowners.
The five banks are Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial (previously GMAC).
The $2,000 payments are for the loan customers of the banks who lost their homes to foreclosure from Jan. 1, 2008, to Dec. 31, 2011. They and others who are facing foreclosure or are underwater — about 23 percent of Utah homeowners now owe more than the worth of their dwelling — should contact one of the five banks that serviced their mortgage in order to find out details and get the process rolling for their part of the settlement.
More than 50,300 Utah homes were auctioned off in foreclosures from 2008 through 2011, according to RealtyTrac, a real estate information company.
Shurtleff said the settlement avoided years of uncertain litigation but does not preclude homeowners from seeking their own remedies through courts or the state from pursuing criminal prosecutions. The settlement was balanced in sanctioning the banks but not hurting the country financially, he said.
"If you take [banks] down, it would be economically disastrous. What we want to do is reach that balance where it does hurt, it does sting and where they are being held accountable."
Afton January, foreclosure prevention coordinator for the Utah Housing Coalition, praised the deal but said some homeowners will be disappointed.
"If you lost your home, your school, your church, your credit score, $2,000 is going to feel a little bit disappointing," she said. "I can understand that. But to those folks who are underwater or facing foreclosure who want a modification or to refinance, this is a great day."
The Legislature should appropriate some of the money for HUD-approved housing counselors, said January.
Despite the billions of dollars involved in the settlement, it doesn't come close to addressing the holes in the U.S. economy caused by the bursting of the housing bubble, said Chris Peterson, a University of Utah law professor who is a legal expert on foreclosures.
"The thing I think is important to understand is the size of this is nowhere big enough to fill in the hole in our national economy, where consumers owe more on their homes than they're worth," he said. "That's at least $700 billion."
Lindon resident Melvin Olsen, who has been trying for months to reach a loan modification agreement with Bank of America, agreed.
"I think this agreement is extremely small compared to the trillions of dollars' damage to counties, homeowners, investors and, indeed, the entire economy of not only the United States but to the world caused by the housing collapse," he said in an email.
Olsen also said he was frustrated with the Attorney General's Office for failing to enforce a 2010 agreement with Countrywide (now owned by Bank of America) that called for loan modifications for Utahns.
Thursday's big nationwide settlement came about after months of negotiations between state attorneys general and federal agencies and the banks.Next Page >

While still serving as the district's interim leader last month, Alfano made the decision based on leftover federal categorical money in the district's accounts.
Ruben Piña, the president of the Patterson Joint Unified School District board of trustees, said he was glad the district could keep those jobs.
"There's more flexibility with Title 1 money, because we have a big percentage of low-economic families in our schools, so we qualify for Title 1 money, which supports instructional programs," Piña said. "And so we carry those funds from year to year."
The employees whose jobs were reinstated will be paid using the district's categorical funds, which mostly come from federal sources, said Steve Menge, the school district's assistant superintendent of administrative services. The state has allowed school districts financial flexibility during the next five fiscal years to use categorical funds for any educational purpose, he said.
Trustees voted March 5 to send 12 pink slips to preschool teachers and coaches for English-language learners.
Time was short, as school workers throughout the state must be notified of potential layoffs by March 15 and planned layoffs cannot be canceled after May 15, Menge explained.
Like many districts throughout California, Patterson schools faced budget cuts as the state legislature worked with a $16 billion budget shortfall that trickled down to the local level.
Pink slips were based on seniority, with the exception of employees who were needed to teach a specific course of study or who had special training and experience that others with more seniority lacked, Menge said.
However, several teachers and district employees said former Superintendent Esther Corral-Carlson made the decision to eliminate all English-learner coaching positions.
While those positions could be funded with federal categorical dollars, which were not threatened by the state's deficits, Menge said an unnamed district official incorrectly thought money salvaged from those layoffs could go into the district's general fund. Critics have named Corral-Carlson as that employee.
School staff members, teachers and parents of children in the district's nine schools packed the March and April board meetings, imploring the trustees to keep the teachers and teachers' aides who worked with children each day in the classroom. Aides, including English-learner coaches, help teachers by setting up testing rooms, administering tests and checking on newly enrolled students who are learning English, among other duties.

Fears of a "double dip" recession are in the air.
Obviously, this isn't particularly good news.
We'd all like to feel that the economy is growing robustly.
At the same time, however, you'll want to avoid making hasty, ill-advised investment decisions based on the mere threat of a slide into another recession.
Instead, you'll want to keep your long-term investment plan intact - in all economic environments.
The possibility of a double dip recession makes great headlines.
But such events have been rare. In fact, we've seen only one double dip recession in the past 77 years.
However, this history hasn't stopped gloomy forecasters from predicting a double dip, as in 1991 (It didn't happen.) and in 2003, when it didn't happen again.
Will we again avoid the double dip recession this time?
It's dangerous to make predictions, but it seems more likely that what we're really experiencing is a "soft patch" in the economic recovery as retail sales remain weak, consumer confidence is low and unemployment remains high.
But on the positive side, manufacturing activity has been strong, corporate earnings have rebounded to pre-recession levels and profit margins are near all-time highs.
And yet, many investors are focusing strictly on the negative reports - and they're acting on their fears by moving money from stocks to fixed-income vehicles, such as bonds.
During the period from July 2008 through June 2010, investors pulled more than $200 billion out of stock-based mutual funds and put more than $475 billion into bond funds, according the Investment Company Institute.
Bonds can provide a source of regular income and will return your principal when they mature, providing the issuers don't default.
They're an important part of most investors' portfolios.
But if you're joining the crowd and over-concentrating on bonds, you risk losing the following:
. Growth opportunities - According to Ibbotson, a leading investment research organization, stocks have done particularly well following 10-year periods in which the stock market hasn't performed strongly - and the past 10 years were one of the worst periods we've ever seen for stocks.
And right now, many quality stocks are trading at some of the most attractive values in 15 years, as measured by price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E.
. Portfolio balance - Ideally, you want your portfolio to contain a mix of investments - stocks, bonds, international and cash - designed to reflect your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals.
You'll need to adjust your investment mix over time to reflect changes in your life, and regular portfolio reviews will prompt you to rebalance back to your target mix and determine whether any other changes are needed.
A double dip recession might sound scary, but it may well never come to pass - so don't let the mere prospect throw you off your investment strategy.
Good investment opportunities are out there - so dip into them.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Before investing in stocks, you should understand the risks.
Stocks are subject to market risks, including loss of principal invested.

Medicinal Uses of Honey
Honey and Wound Care
Manuka honey is sometimes used to treat chronic leg ulcers and pressure sores.
Manuka honey is made in New Zealand from the nectar of Leptospermum scoparium. It's the basis of Medihoney, which the FDA approved in 2007 for use in treating wounds and skin ulcers. It works very well to stimulate healing, says wound care specialist Frank Bongiorno, MD, of Ann Arbor, Mich.
"Medihoney has been our standard for healing wounds in the past year, since it started coming on the market," Bongiorno says. A healing wound, whether chronic or acute, is a clean, granulating wound that is absent of bacteria and swelling. Bongiorno doesn't use Medihoney for burns because it can cause pain.
Bongiorno has visited Haiti, where people use ordinary honey for wounds, and although it isn't harmful, it doesn't have the impact of Medihoney, which is purified with ultraviolet light rather than heat. Its antibacterial action is better preserved, he says.
That, of course, is useful in treating wounds, but it is Manuka honey's pH content, which leans toward acidic, that helps the healing process, says Bongiorno, who has no ties to Medihoney's maker. "It is soothing and feels good to the wound.''
Honey and Allergies
Some laboratory studies suggest honey has the potential to clear up stuffy noses and ease allergies triggered by pollen. But it's a bit of a stretch to apply that to patients, says New Jersey allergist Corinna Bowser, MD.
Bowser says she doesn't consider the studies on honey and congestion to be adequate, for a few reasons: most allergy sufferers are sensitive to wind-carried pollens like grass and ragweed -- the kind not carried by bees and transformed into honey.
"If you want to treat someone for common allergies, it's not commonly found in bee honey," Bowser says.
"Even if there are allergens in the honey, it wouldn't make a difference, because it gets broken down by stomach acids and doesn't trigger an immunological response," Bowser says. In contrast, "The pills we take for allergies are coated so they don't get broken down," she says.
Honey and the Common Cold
Maryland family doctor Ariane Cometa, MD, who describes herself as a holistic practitioner, likes to use a buckwheat honey-based syrup to ease early symptoms of a cold. She says it calms inflamed membranes and eases a cough -- the latter claim supported by a few studies.
In a study that involved 139 children, honey beat out dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant) and diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) in easing nighttime cough in children and improving their sleep.
Another study involving 105 children found that buckwheat honey trumped dextromethorphan in suppressing nighttime coughs.
"If you're suffering from a cold or something going on in the throat or upper airways, getting on board with honey syrup will help fight infection and soothe membranes," says Cometa, who also recommends a buckwheat honey-based allergy medicine.

5 Key Bets Made By This Billionaire's Subsidiary Hedge Fund
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Hedge funds are often thought of as solely being an investment tool for elite investors capable of risking millions, but there are also ways for the general public to piggyback off of their picks. We track 450 of the world's top-tier hedge fund managers, and for more than a decade in our back tests, our small-cap strategy beat the market by 18% a year. Since we've started sharing these picks with the public, it has outpaced the S&P 500 by more than 20 percentage points (learn how here), indicating that ardent investors pay attention to the smart money.
With this in mind, it's important to analyze each of the funds we track individually, and by using the latest round of fourth quarter 13F data from the SEC, we can see how they were preparing for 2013. Let's take a look at one fund in particular: Catapult Capital Management, a subsidiary hedge fund of Israel Englander's Millennium Management.
Sitting at No. 1 in Catapult's equity portfolio is RPM International (NYSE: RPM). The Rust-Oleum maker outperformed the S&P 500 and DJIA at the start of the year but has since been lagging both indices after tumbling 7% on February 21st following a disappointing earnings report. The company reported EPS of $0.31 a share versus a 38-cent total for the same quarter last year. Although RPM is slowly climbing off the $29.50 mark, it continues to underperform the major indices. Fortunately, shares should benefit from the overall good will being poured onto paint manufacturers—Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and Valspar (VAL), for example—as the home-improvement segment shows very respectable growth.
Coming in at No. 2 in Catapult's top five is PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG). Better-than-expected earnings have been a boost to Mr. Market's perception of this stock, and the company's product and geographical diversity enables it to be well positioned for continued growth. The sell-side expects EPS growth to flirt with 15% next year before settling into an 8-9% average through at least 2017. This is worth noting because bottom line expansion averaged just above 3% a year over the past half-decade. PPG has certainly had a bumpy start to the year and is currently underperforming the S&P 500 and DJIA, but there is general expectation among analysts that this gap will start to tighten by the third quarter.
Considering the growth potential of this stock, it's hard to believe that Monsanto (NYSE: MON) is third in Catapult's top five instead of first. Although the past year or two have been somewhat eventful—and not in a good way—for the agriculture-biotechnology behemoth, it continues its steady and consistent climb over the $100 per share mark.
A recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court protecting Monsanto's second-generation seeds as intellectual property clears the path for continued dominance over competitors such as DuPont (DD), for example. DuPont, by the way, lost a $1 billion settlement to Monsanto for producing genetically altered soybeans that were protected by Monsanto's technology—a key point investors should be aware of. The only other serious competitor in this market besides DuPont is Syngenta (SYT), which has been plagued by investigations into the safety of its pesticides and herbicides.
Next up at No. 4 we have CF Industries Holdings (NYSE: CF). It would seem that anything related to agriculture couldn't lose this year, but CF had its nose bloodied following recent downgrades from Dahlman Rose and Feltl & Co. Now, other fertilizer producers Potash Corp (POT) and Rentech Nitogen (RNF) have also seen analyst pressure of late, and CF's downgrade may simply be guilt by association—it still has very strong fundamentals and has managed to control its production costs. Still, the latest selloff was so severe that CF is now trading more than 8% below the S&P 500 on the year.
Rounding out this hedge fund's equity "fab five" at No. 5 is Eastman Chemical (NYSE: EMN). Eastman Chemical manufactures many of the chemicals used in packaging, fibers and even disposable diapers. Of the major players in this market, including Dow Chemical (DOW), PPG, and Celanese Corp (CE), Eastman has continually outperformed all three as well as the S&P 500 when we stretch this time frame to at least three months in the past. After the market-wide selloff in late February, a buying opportunity for Eastman looks to have emerged, and the stock has been showing sizable, albeit uneven, gains. Catapult's bullishness—it upped its stake in Eastman by 194% last quarter—is an important point to consider when analyzing the company's investment prospects.
In short, it's easy to see that this subsidiary-structured hedgie is very optimistic about all things chemical-related. Eastman, PPG and RPM offer coverage of a diverse group of chemical products, while Monsanto and CF Industries are focused on agriculture chemicals. By holding this mixture, Catapult Capital can gain exposure to Ag's generally bullish long-term outlook, while using the remaining trio as a way to protect against any potential downside.
