Where I stayed
The first day back on land after living on a boat for four days is a bit strange. It still feels like the ground is moving up and down. Lying down to try to fall asleep was much the same, "are you sure the room isn't rocking back and forth?" we asked each other. Perhaps it should have been less shocking when at 4am we both bolted upright out of a deep sleep. The walls were rattling and the mosquito net was rocking side to side. The next morning we learned that a 6.3 earthquake had struck about 125km out to sea from Labuan Bajo. There was no tsunami or any real damage, just a lot of surprised people at four in the morning.
While we had enjoyed near perfect weather while on our dive safari, it is the monsoon season. Within three hours of our return to shore, the storms started coming. Back at Golo Hilltop Hotel, we are able to enjoy watching the storms come in across the sea and try to predict when they will hit. It is really fun to lie in the sun and watch a deep dark cloud out on the horizon slowly and steadily move towards you. Lounging in the pool, while waiting for the storm to hit, has become one of our favourite past times.
When the storms do finally reach town they are all fairly uniform. First, we are hit with high winds that knock over anything smaller than a chair, and then hit secondly with a monsoon downpour. The first few times the storms hit we were not really prepared. I lost half my lunch one day as the wind howled through the open-air restaurant and I foolishly did not wrap my body around it. We also watched as our drying laundry was thrown into the dirt if left on the drying rack in front of our bungalow. After the first two storms, however, we would join the staff in running around and helping to close the shutters around the restaurant, or pull in laundry. Once we had the hang of it, we started to have a lot of fun watching the stairs turn into a waterfall, and see new guests arriving who had not noticed the dark lurking clouds in the horizon and looked as if they had been swimming with all their clothes on. While the storms seem to come once a day, it is usually only for about 20-30 minutes and so, as long as you do not get caught out in the open, they are not really too big an inconvenience.
Sukhia and I were invited to visit one of the local schools to help with an English class that ranged in ages from 4-12. The school was attached to the largest church in Labuan Bajo and run by local missionaries. While Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world, the island of Flores is more than 90% Roman Catholic. We started the lesson by being led through a prayer by the teacher and making a cross on our chests. Most of the lesson revolved around us asking the students questions and them asking the same questions back. Knowing that we had started with a Catholic prayer, were sitting in a room next to a huge Church that had a huge Christmas tree painted on the wall, in a school run by missionaries, I asked the question "Who likes Christmas?!?!?!?". Out of the 12 students, 10 enthusiastically shouted "ME!!!!" The other two students vigorously shook their heads 'NO'.
Our last adventure in Labuan Bajo was to some limestone cliffs that feature a place called "Mirror Cave". We had read in Lonely Planet that the caves were "hardly spectacular" and so perhaps it was because of our lowered expectations that we really enjoyed our visit there. The highlight (or lowlight for Sukhia) was going deep into the cave and crawling through a little passage that brought us into a large open area that featured bats, crickets and a rare type of large spider that has pincers like a scorpion. Something about the large spider and bat infested pitch-black cave just did not agree with Sukhia, who knew?
- Sacha
Next stop – Sanur
Sukhia's Thoughts:
Just for the record, I was not scared of the bats or the dark cave but when coming face to face with a spider that looks like he is eating a scorpion, and wearing cricket legs as a kill trophy, I was not going to become his best friend.
Labuan Bajo was a wonderful town, filled with local Indonesian restaurants and a few very nice foreign places that you could get a fix of pizza or sandwiches if you so desired. Our hotel, Golo Hilltop, became our home and it was wonderful to be situated in one place for more than a few days.
Our schedule mainly consisted of laying by the pool or sitting on our veranda reading and watching the storms come and go. Our main concern each day was deciding where we wanted to have lunch or dinner. But, we made sure to walk into town once a day for a meal which was a 15-minute walk from the hotel and to be fair there was a hill involved. Two weeks passed in bliss and it was very hard to pack up and leave.
At least the next stop is Sanur and the beauty of Bali or I might have refused to leave Flores.

Located immediately before you enter the historic tunnel on the east entrance of Zion national Park, this one mile trail (round trip) provides spectacular views of the canyon, the tunnel "windows" and the winding switchbacks of the road. We pretty much had the trail and overlook to ourselves when we arrived early morning.

A hidden jewel in the middle of the desert! The park itself is not very big and the drive throughout the park can easily be made in a few hours. But I would strongly recommend getting out and exploring some of these incredible arches. We took the 3 mile hike up to Delicate Arch (and yes it is somewhat up), one of the most popular arches in the park. Be sure to take plenty of water as this is out in the open and does gain some elevation. You will be rewarded with an incredibly huge arch that you can walk right up to for some great photo opportunities. Be sure to stop at the side trail near the parking lot either on the way up or down to see some incredible petroglyphs. Then make the drive into the cool little town of Moab for lunch or dinner! For more pictures of our visit to Arches, please check out our blog for pictures of our trip:

We usually stay in Springdale when visiting Zion NP ,
which is handy enough because of the park shuttle.
No driving in your National Parks frees up a lot of
wilderness instead of parking lots . Steve`s suggestion
of staying in the Park Lodge seems worth waiting for
through reservation system . Thanks.

It's usually more expensive than motels/hotels in Springdale and reservations are not always easy to get, but the lodge inside the park gives one extra solemnity, since you're sleeping in a park setting in the canyon, and pretty much have the place to yourselves after the day's last shuttle to Springdale leaves and before the first one arrives in the morning.

The "Left Hand" pool just outside Moab town. Its a small trail that you follow on the outskirts of Moab that leads to a wonderful waterhole ..surrounded by horseshoe shaped stone around 30 ft tall.

A completely fantastic guide available in Moab is Matt Moore's Desert Highlights. He can take the novice and athlete alike to canyons that will stretch you but not endanger you. It is a safe and fun way to do a slot canyon.

I heavily recommend that you get off Highway 12 - which is easily the most beautiful route I've ever travelled on - and that you hike to Calf Creek Falls. It's a rather lenghty hike, perhaps 2 hours each way, but if you like waterfalls, this is truly one of the most spectacular you'll see. Make sure not to miss this incredibly wonderful and peaceful spot. Andy

Nowhere in your 4/12/09 article or slides titled America's "Outback: Southern Utah" do you mention Angel Canyon, which is home to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Our nation's largest haven for animals is seconds outside of Kanab. Readers might know the sanctuary, which has splendid views of southern Utah, from the National Geographic program Dogtown.

If you're on Highway 89 heading north to Bryce, or south to the Grand Canyon, or to Zion, stop at the historic home of western artist Maynard Dixon between Orderville and Mt. Carmel. (It's 5 miles north of Hwy 9 - the turnoff to Zion.) They have daily tours of the home and studio built by Dixon who died in 1946. They have artist retreats, too - I loved it! It's run by The Thunderbird Foundation; they have a website. There's also a terrific gallery adjacent to the Dixon home with outstanding landscapes, native american pottery and baskets. I was floored to find this little gem in the middle of nowhere! Not only that, they have good coffee - which is pretty hard to get in Utah. With luck, you might get there in time for a cup. It's easy to find, it's right on the highway. I'm going there again as soon as my next vacation starts this summer.

Dream Theater
I work in a large theater at the lightning Division, and know how it works.
But it looks like I'm a whole lot older (56) than you and I think that is the difference.
After all, it's the music, and I don't criticize.
I have the dvd and it's very good, but i have some things about it.
I don't like the light design, it's non Dream Theater.....
The light is far too restless and popular.
The moving led spots are annoying on the display.
And I will find the ever fade audience sounds disturbing.
Okay, so far my criticism.
Dream Theater is and remains one of my favorite bands, and the quality of the musicians varicose of the screen.
All admiration goes to Mike, he's doing really great, which is certainly evident in the latest cd.
I find the 5.1 DVD very good mixed......i prefer it.
And it becomes better and better the more you listen to it.
Mike M did a very good job, he fits in DT.
Just new album received, great........
Back to heave stuff.....
Thanks guys!

The third floor of the Cherokee County Courthouse was evacuated Tuesday afternoon after a suspicious letter was received containing a "white powdery substance."
It happened around 3 p.m. Tuesday when the letter was received in the offices of the Cherokee County District Court on the third floor. The courthouse is located in Tahlequah.
According to the release from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, the letter was opened by a courthouse employee and was intended for a District 15 judge. The letter also appeared to be threatening in nature.
Upon receiving the letter, employees notified the Sheriff's Office and deputies proceeded to evacuate the third floor of the courthouse. All afternoon proceedings were postponed during the investigation.
During the investigation, firefighters and emergency management tested the white substance and determined it to be talcum powder.
Following their determination, deputies notified the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. OSBI and the Violent Crime and Drug Task Force are currently investigating the threat.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My husband and I are extremely pleased with our decision to move our two children from public school to American Heritage. Aside from the wonderful teachers, broad class selection in academics and the arts, we are extremely impressed with the technology taught to our children. They use iPads daily in their classrooms and have learned to easily navigate through the latest programs and academic sites. We also love having an assistant supporting the teacher in the lower school classes. We feel that this allows the teacher to focus on truly teaching and meeting individual needs. Guidance is also tremendous. The individual attention you receive as a parent is wonderful. We feel our children are safe, receiving top notch education, and will be more than prepared for college. We couldn't be happier with our decision.
I am an alumni (class of 1988) with three elementary age children who attend American Heritage. My family could not be happier. We love that our children are getting the best possible education in a diverse family friendly environment. My children enjoy going to school; I love seeing all of the alumni who work at the school and alumni who send their children to the school. My wife and I know that being exposed to so many different programs (engineering/robotics, marine biology, medicine, math, law, television production, newspaper, theatre, dance, orchestra, visual arts, 70+ clubs, etc.), will help our children find their passion and we know the teachers and guidance counselors will help nurture the passions. We could not be happier and would recommend the school to anyone who asks.
This school motivates without threatening. The teachers are really connected to the students. If you want you're child to be thriving, not to be afraid of making a mistake, this is the school for you're child. The school is open minded (very important for us) where the child still can be a child. Yes, it is expensive, but you as parent and you're child will receive so much. This is a wonderful school.
American Heritage School is AMAZING! There's definitely something for everyone here, and not only are the academics superior but the opportunities available to the students to pursue their passions are unlike any other school in Florida for sure. My children are thriving here and we feel so lucky to be part of the AHS family.
You don't want your child here. The administration smiles to your face and tells you what you want to hear while passing your child along and doing nothing to assist them with being prepared for college. Myself and other parents are trying to have an investigation launched into this program. It feels like we have been taken advantage of and defrauded.
I can't say enough about this school. The teachers are amazing and my son has developed into a truly excellent student. Yes its expensive but work every penny.
The core subjects are in small class sizes and their electives are mainstream which helps them assimilate and get ready for the real world where environment cannot always be accommodated . They have over 60 after school clubs and sports and everyone is included, they can try new things and decide what they or not. The teachers are available after school got tutoring one day a week, and their school website is excellent for teachers and students. You can email teachers easily, see all assignments, grades are posted weekly as they progress, very organized!there are many social and fun events your child can see or participate in.
My children have attended American Heritage since lower school. They had a wonderful experience and now as upper school students are well prepared for college.
As a parent of two graduates of AHS, I could not be happier with the school. My girls learned responsibility, organization in addition to having been exposed to the a rigorous curriculum. The extra-curricular activities are beyond what you will find at any other high school in the area.
American Heritage School is a very unique place. Both of my children are happy there and they are very different children. It is nice to find one place where they can both be challenged and where they can both participate in the activities they love. The school provides students with so many opportunities. The only problem is choosing which things to do!
It is all about money at this school. Not worth the money. The student/teacher ratio is too high for the thousands of dollars that it cost.
Notice March 7th that is when the new Headmaster told her staff to give great ratings. I would ask to see teachers' certifications, the school claims everyone is ESE certified. In the Reading Lab no one is Reading certified yet the teachers are concerned "reading specialist". Unfortunately parents of different learners feel there is no where else to turn and we believe that our children will be successful in this non threatening environment, when really we are putting our children in a place where they feel separated from the "normal" kids at Heritage. Educate yourself parents!
As a parent of two children at AHS (grades 6 and 4), I have found the teachers and staff to be both firm and fair. My children's teachers have been understanding of children in general while encouraging them to continue to grow as students and as people. I am confident that by the time my children graduate from AHS they will be prepared for the rigors of college.
This school is extremely pregidous... They are extremely selective... And, will soon be sued for DISCRIMINATION.
I am a parent of an American Heritage graduate and a member of the faculty. I can honestly say I could never find a better place to work and you will never find a better school for your child. Where else could you find a school that is outstanding in academics, fine arts, and athletics; all three areas are tops. Everyone who works here truly cares about the best for every child. My child was a success in college and is a success as an adult, and I can attribute much of that success to American Heritage. Enrolling in this school is like joining a family.
Having three children, it is difficult to find a school that can meet the needs of three very different personalities with very different strengths and challenges. We chose American Heritage for our children because they promised they could meet the needs of all of our children, and they have made good on their promise! Our children are happy and well-rounded. We are very pleased with American Heritage and would recommend this school without reservation.
I have been a parent at American Heritage for 10 years . My experience as well as my children's has been phenomenal. The level of academics and fine arts that the children are not only exposed to,but encourage to participate in are exceptional. We feel very blessed to be part of the Heritage family and look forward to many more successful years with this school.
I have been a parent at AHS for the last 10 years. AHS's excellent teachers, strong academics, and challenging curriculum have provided my children with an outstanding top education. Their superior program in the arts, such as the orchestra has given my children the opportunity to belong to an award winning fine arts program, while developing strong leadership qualities. My children look forward to joining the Pre-Med and Pre-Engineering Pre-Professional programs, to continue with their community service organizations, and many of their wonderful clubs. As a parent you want to give your children the best. There is no doubt in my mind that AHS is the best school for my children. We are truly happy and very proud to belong to such an amazing and wonderful school.
The Academy has a new Headmaster. She is about as knowledgeable and caring as they come. The children come first.
I am a graduate of AHS and I can honestly say that my experience at the school was amazing. I started in 6th grade and graduated in 2006. The teachers were phenomenal. I believe that this school pushes its students to do their best and really nurtures talent and a love for academics. I felt incredibly well prepared for college. I wish I could've started earlier and had my elementary education here. I definitely preferred my private school education, than my public school experience. I was never an athletic student, but I made the best of my time at school by getting involved with yearbook and various clubs. The student body was diverse and friendly. I love this school, the teachers definitely inspired me, and always remember my years here fondly.

Sixty Years Since the Discovery of the Dead Seas Scrolls
In honor of the sixtieth anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Israel Antiquities Authority is convening an international committee of experts to offer advice on the Digitization of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls is regarded as one of the most significant archaeological finds of the 20th century. These ancient Hebrew scrolls were accidentally discovered by a Bedouin shepherd in November 1947, having been hidden for almost 2000 years in remote caves in the Judean Desert.
The Dead Sea Scrolls reveal a wealth of information about the history of the Second Temple period, a time of crucial developments in the crystallization of the monotheistic religions. Some of the scrolls, biblical and sectarian, were written as early as the end of the third century BCE but most of them date to the first century BCE and the first century CE. They contain fragments of all of the books of the Bible (with the exception of the Book of Esther) as well as a complete text of Isaiah. Especially significant are the fragments of the Apocrypha, previously known only in Greek and Latin. The scrolls preserve the original Hebrew and Aramaic versions. The sectarian texts reflect the beliefs and apocalyptic expectations of the community that wrote them.
During the first forty years since their discovery only a very small number of the c. 900 texts known to us today were published. In the beginning of the 1990's, shortly after the founding of the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), the Authority initiated the establishment of a committee of scholars for the advancement of the publication of the scrolls and appointed Professor Emmanuel Tov of the Hebrew University to head it. The publication project, which included dozens of scholars from all over the world, was completed in 2001 and was celebrated in a festive ceremony that took place at the residence of the President of Israel.
The conservation and preservation of the Dead Sea Scrolls have concerned both scholars and conservators since their discovery. Conservation measures to preserve the scrolls were first taken by researchers during the early 1950's. In the ensuing years it has become clear the scrolls suffered extensive damage due to inappropriate conservation measures that stemmed primarily from a lack of knowledge. Therefore, concurrent with the establishment of the committee of scholars, the IAA set up a unique conservation laboratory dedicated solely to the preservation of the scrolls. The laboratory's treatments are accompanied by constant research and professional consultation with experts from all over the world. The conservation work is ongoing; the task is extremely complicated and time consuming. However, in light of past experience the IAA is collaborating through the Italian Ministry of Culture with Italian experts in conservation and preservation of ancient manuscripts to re-examine the current methods of treatment and to research conservation problems that have yet to be solved.
In addition, since many of the thousands of fragments of scrolls were only photographed once, close to the time of their discovery in the 1950's, the IAA has decided to convene an international committee of experts to evaluate innovative techniques and methods of documentation. The committee will assist the Authority in selecting the most appropriate means of digitizing the scrolls for publication, research and conservation purposes. Invited experts will include, among others: Prof. Yaacov Choueka - The Friedberg Genizah Project; Dr. Greg Bearman - JPL - NASA; Prof. Ferruccio Petrucci - Image Spectroscopy, Uni. of Ferrara; Simon Tanner - King's Digital Consultancy Services, London; Orly Simon - Head IT Department, JNUL. All together we will have ten experts from various fields of photographic technologies and managing of digital projects databases.
The conference will take place in Jerusalem from November 4 -7, 2007.

Quick Fix: Use Toothpicks in Stripped Screw Hole
The door on the cabinet where I installed my slide-out shelves has been loose for a few months. Every month or so I tighten the screw on the little door hinge and then within a week — it's loose again. I was grumbling about this to my father one day when he suggested using toothpicks to solve the problem.
It turns out that the screw hole for this hinge was stripped and a little stretched, which is why tightening the screw helped only briefly. Taking my father's advice, I unscrewed the hinge and placed a few pieces of toothpick in the screw hole. As I reinstalled the screw, I could feel that the toothpick pieces were doing their job. Basically the screw is able to grip onto the soft wood of the toothpick pieces, which creates a tight fit that couldn't be achieved in the stretched and stripped hole.
This solution may not last forever — and it definitely wouldn't be ideal for every stripped screw hole (you wouldn't want to do this for a screw being used to hang something on a wall, for instance) — but it has kept the door on my cabinet tight since Christmas, so I'm happy!

Matchsticks (with the striking heads broken off) work just as well and, being wood, are greener...
My husband tells me there is a wood filler product out there made just for this purpose. Same principle, though. :)
Toothpicks and blue painters tape can fix most common household problems. My Dad taught me this toothpick tip years and years ago. It works like a charm.
Perfect! I have to reassemble Burke Industries table that currently has a stripped screw hole. Will be trying this trick this evening. Thanks!
that is great!
For larger holes golf tees work too.
A guy at my local hardware store suggested this (over wood filler) to repair a wobbly chair leg with a stripped-out screw hole. Toothpicks and wood glue, actually.
as mentioned above, glue is a good addition. three flat toothpicks work even better -- surrounding the screw for even insertion.
That's the most useful and clever tip I've heard in a long time. Thanks!
@heslod: I think these are wooden toothpicks that are dyed colors. For parties and whatnots.
Wooden chopsticks work well too.
I am completely ignoring your advice to not use this trick w/ things that hang on the wall, & am going to try it w/ my paper towel holder that is driving me batsh*t.
Weird - I was going to Google this same topic yesterday! Good to hear it works :)
In a pinch, I've used pencils, too.
Nice. Thanks!
The process for collecting sulfur makes matches not so green, unless you consider it is a byproduct of oil refining and natural gas extraction, but it still provides income to these companies, who will continue to make sulfur for your green matches so you can sit smug and light stuff on fire.
My hubby suggested this for our bathroom door hinge...I thought he made it up...guess I get to apologize now!
Used this trick for years, rather than toothpicks I have used match sticks, or even wooden plugs whittled from scrap wood. For extra holding power I recommend gluing them in with any type of wood glue, it makes a more permanent fix.
This works, but toothpicks are too soft to work very well. Staples are harder, but the best fix is epoxy glue. Rub the screw on the side of your nose to get some oil on the threads, fill the hole with epoxy, and insert the screw, holding it with tape if necessary. You can always pull the tape away from the epoxy after it hardens.
For any larger job of patching wood, use Bondo. Yes, the stuff from the auto parts store. Best wood filler there is. Follow instructions on the can EXACTLY!
Oh my gosh - pure genius!
This works great, fixed a door that stripped at the hinges this morning. Total life saver!
As for the comment above, I have found that wood filler isn't strong enough and wont hold for very long, seems to work better for appearance but not strength.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin will finish 2012 with its highest number of whooping cough cases in years.
State health officials said there were almost 5,700 confirmed and probable instances of whooping cough as of December 14th. That's almost five times as many cases as the previous year, when 1,200 were reported.
Back in 2004, the Badger State had 5,600 pertussis cases – and none of the following years were even close until this year.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control said 93 of every 100,000 Wisconsinites had whooping cough this year through November 23rd. That's the highest rate in the nation – and it's more than eight times the national average.
Pertussis, the medical name for whooping cough, is a highly contagious respiratory condition. It can appear as a bad cold in adults – but it can be a deadly disease for young children.

MACOMB, Il. (WGEM) -- It's still early in the practice schedule on the campus of Western Illinois University, but things are beginning to take form for first year head coach Bob Nielson and the Leathernecks.
Nielson isn't new to stepping into a program with a recent history of struggles, most notably in 2008 when his Minnesota-Duluth squad won the Division-2 National Championship after a sub .500 record the previous season.
While Nielson is pleased with the early progress at Hanson Field, he continues to be humble about expectations for his young team.
"We're an exceptionally young football team," he expressed.
"I can tell you from 20 plus years of being a head coach, the one good thing about being a young team is that young football teams can improve very rapidly."
One area where Western should be in good shape is at offensive tackle, and running back, where Jimmy Holtschlag will returns to anchor the right tackle position, and Nikko Watson will start in the backfield coming off of a 1,000-yard season.
Holtschlag says adapting to a new system has been a mostly smooth transition, and completion has added an extra element to the early practices.
"Right now we've got a lot of competition, and that's getting everybody to work harder than I've ever seen," said Holtschlag.
"So it's just about coming together full circle as a really powerful offense."
Monday was the first padded practice of the fall for the Leathernecks, who still have position battles on-going, especially at the quarterback position with six on the roster.
Nielson and his staff should have plenty of time to sort out the depth chart, leading up to Western's season opening game on August 29th against Hampton at Hanson Field in Macomb.

The information does not reflect data regarding individual campuses unless only one campus had students to report. The reporting period used to obtain this data was 7/1/2012-6/30/2013. If there were less than 10 graduates in a program, median loan debt and on-time completion data were not disclosed for that program to protect the privacy of those students.

Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
The Bachelor of Science in Accounting program at Herzing University does not fulfill all of the requirements for a graduate to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam or apply for licensure as a CPA in most states/jurisdictions. Most states/jurisdictions require a specific amount of study beyond a bachelor's degree (typically, a total of 150 semester credit hours, but this varies by jurisdiction) as well as several years of professional experience working in accounting to be eligible to apply for licensure. Some states (including, but not necessarily limited to, Texas) require the program to have a specific programmatic accreditation for graduates to apply for licensure as a CPA, which this program does not have at this time, and no representation has been made as to when or if such an accreditation will be obtained. Applicants interested in becoming a CPA should check with their state board of accountancy regarding CPA eligibility requirements prior to enrolling in any accounting program. Students planning to pursue certifications other than the CPA exam should also contact the respective certifying organization to confirm requirements for certification prior to enrolling in any accounting program.

Here we are two days off of the announced Apple event due September 12th, 2012 anticipating what might be another addition to the iPhone family. As with all prior Apple announced events, there will be an unveiling of the newest iPhone to join the generation that seems to be called, iPhone 5.
Apple will demo the new version of the iPhone at the event with its rumored thinner design accompanied by a more elongated four-inch screen. As to be expected, internal refreshments will be cooking underneath the covers of the new iPhone. Included in the event, Apple will most likely shed light on the conclusive specifics on iOS 6 that will be paired with the new iPhone.
As known thus far, we know a few goodies already included in developer previews of iOS 6 that will include tighter Facebook integration, Siri assistant for iPad, Passbook, and more candies that will be shared in the next 48 hours. Brace yourselves; it will be another Apple event to be remembered.

Two dogs are alive after an incredible rescue by Hanover firefighters. The desperate scenario unfolded off Mountain Road, Saturday afternoon. The labs fell into an icy pond, barely able to keep their heads above water.
Firefighters acted on instinct, heading right into the frigid pond. The crew from Hanover Fire Station 8 is part of the tactical rescue team, especially trained in water rescues.
"You could see (the dog's) feet. They were trying to grasp for the edge of ice to get out," described Hanover firefighter Bobby Drake.
Drake and crew members extended a ladder on top of the ice. Two firefighters anchored it from the edge of the pond, while Drake made his way across the ladder- hovering over the freezing pond. A rope secured Drake to his fellow firefighters.
"I was scooting along on the ice with the ladder, and just making sure I kept an eye on (the dog) to figure out if she was going to go under, or if she was going to come toward me… so I could be prepared to react," continued Drake. "When I got out to the dog, she put her paws out on the edge of the ladder. When she did, it pulled the front of the ladder, and me, into the water."
Drake and the dog were submerged in frigid water. Drake held tightly to the dog, as firefighters helped pull both Drake and the lab through the icy water to safety. Meanwhile, the other lab made it out on the other side of the pond.
The dogs were grateful.
"The female dog…came directly up to me, and sat at my feet. She was kind of whining and whimpering, and wanted to be held. You could tell she was cold," added Drake.
Drake had only one option, at that point.
"I held her. I got a blanket off of the ambulance… and wrapped it around her," said Drake.
Both pups are now warm and safe, after firefighters didn't hesitate to bear the stinging cold, to save their lives.

5 Ideas For Fun Food Making Parties
With Spring coming to a close and Summer knocking at the door, it's a great time to throw a get together. Although we all know food brings us together and is a caloric form of love, it can be a great thing make together instead of just eating. Try your hand at throwing one of these fun food making parties!
1. Taffy Pull: Taffy isn't super difficult to make, but it does usually require more than one person. There are recipes all over the internet and we're betting if you ask your grandparents, they still remember how it's done. Cut up wrappers from parchment or wax paper and send everyone home with a year's supply!
2. Sausage Making: A great way to make a variety of sausage is to invite lots of friends and have them bring all different ingredients. Assign some people seafood, red meat, poultry, pork or even beans and vegetables. Sorting out what you have and dividing it up between recipes can be a fun way to spend an evening... even if it gets a little messy.
3. Frozen Pizzas: Dough is a super easy thing to supply and literally costs a few dollars for 50+ crusts. Make some up ahead of time and have guests bring all sorts of toppings. Wrap them in a double layer of plastic wrap before heading home (separate with cardboard) and everyone will have a freezer full of good frozen pizza for quite sometime! You can also make them in the shape of rectangular breadsticks if it makes them easier to transport. Who doesn't like a gourmet breadstick?
4. Smoothie Party: When the days are long and hot, gather a group together and have them bring all the fixin's for smoothies. It might even be a good excuse to show off that new Vitamix blender you've recently acquired! You can mix them and freeze in individual portions to blend up later, or enjoy them on the spot and share with neighbors as well.
5. Cookie Dough: It doesn't matter what season it is, it's always time for cookies. Get the gang together (have them bring a mixer or two) and mix up batch after batch of your favorite dough. Divide things out and send everyone home with baking instructions for each variety. Next time you're ready for a snack, things will already be mixed without any dishes to do when all is said and done!

If I may ask, what in the world are those things in the picture?
deep dish pizza?
It never occurred to me to make deep-dish pizza in a springform pan. Perhaps because I'm a New Yorker and we make ours cracker-thin on hot ceramic tiles :)
If you scroll to the bottom of the post you'll see a link to the flickr set the pic comes from. A picture tutorial on mini-stuffed pizzas - they look delicious!
I went to a cooking class about pickling and canning--we made pickled carrots--and the teacher recommended having a canning party. I can see that being fun.
Here's how the stuffed mini pizzas are made: http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/StuffedPizza
HUH? A sausage making party? I don't know about that one.
Every spring, a friend and I pick strawberries and then go back to one of our houses and make jam. I always have more fun making jam with someone than alone.
I've been to some fun sushi making parties.
Spring rolls are super easy to do with friends. Get spring roll wrappers (the round, transparent rice wrappers) and cook up rice vermicilli noodles. Put these out on the table with a big bowl of water or two for dipping the spring roll wrappers (rest on plates to soften).
You can also lay out the filling: One component is some kind of protein, like chicken, shrimp, or tofu (all of which are good marinated in satay sauce); I also add scrambled eggs sliced up in ribbons.
The other component is a set of herbs. Mint, basil, and cilantro are musts for me. Besides those, you could do sliced up tomatoes, ribbons of carrot, bean sprouts, green onions, and lettuce for crunch.
Finally, have some dipping sauce, like store-bought peanut sauce, sweet chili sauce, or you can make a sauce by combining (in descending proportions) sugar, water, lime juice, fish sauce, and chili peppers.
Everyone should have her own plate for wrapping. We eat as we go, fill/wrap a spring roll, eat, fill/wrap a spring roll, eat, etc. :)
Dumpling/wonton making parties! I had one a few weeks ago, and my guests went a little crazy making pretty/weird/creative shapes.
make your own sushi night! host pre-cuts nori sheets and makes sushi rice -- guests bring sliced ingredients -- pickled daikon, egg, roe, avocado, eel, cucumber... etc... everyone has fun mixing and matching their own hand rolls!

Science to Service: State Implementation of Evidence-Based Practices
Requests for Applications (RFA): MH-03-007
Release date: August 16, 2002
Letter of Intent Receipt date: September 29, 2002
Application Receipt date: October 29, 2002
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have entered into a partnership to promote and support implementation of evidence-based mental health treatment practices into state mental health systems. NIMH seeks to enhance the research agenda of state mental health systems by focusing on activities that yield knowledge about the most effective and feasible methods for implementing evidence-based practices into state clinical practice settings. SAMHSA seeks to provide direct support to states and localities that are ready and committed to adopting evidence-based practices. This Request for Applications (RFA) is designed to accomplish both objectives.
Funds Available
NIMH and SAMHSA intend to commit approximately $1 million in FY 2003 to fund 10 to 15 new and/or competitive continuation grants in response to this RFA. An applicant may request a project period of up to 1 year and a budget for direct costs of up to $100,000 per year. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. Although the financial plans of NIMH and SAMHSA provide support for this program, awards pursuant to this RFA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the receipt of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. At this time, it is not known if this RFA will be reissued.
Who Can Apply?
You may submit (an) application(s) if your institution is a unit of State
Additional Information:
The RFA process is being administered by the National Institutes of Health. For complete information about it, please check the RFA announcement at:

To be honest, I'm suprised that Allison didn't even mention the Argent Tournament as a way to grind both mounts AND city rep for more mounts.

He could live off of his wealthy son, but decides to wake up at 3:15 and go to work everyday. What would you do?
Seattle Seahawks star Richard Sherman grew up in Compton, California, and had two hardworking parents. In fact, his dad, Kevin Sherman, still wakes up at the crack of dawn to drive a garbage truck and refuses to live off his son.
Kevin has been driving a trash truck for 26 years. He wakes up at 3:45 a.m. and works holidays because of the overtime.
The older Sherman said: "It's a job that I don't too much like, but I've done it all my life. The only goal for my son was education, so that he got more education than I got."
He also admitted he's too close to retirement, so he won't his son pay for anything.
He said: "People say, 'Let your son take care of you.' Yeah, but I've got a few years left until I retire. Why would I mess up my own retirement? Why should my son have to foot everything? I have a medical plan that will cover me. Why should my son have to pay my medical bills? It doesn't make sense to me."

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Bouquet is still quite closed, but beginning to develop a very wide aromatic range - ripe fruit, complex notes, mineral and floral hints combine with spicier aromas.
This outstanding vintage has lavish substance and is dense, fleshy and bursting with strength. The balance and elegance of the tannins on the finish are superb.
Very long keeping. Do not open for at least another 4 or 5 years.
"As usual, the 2005 Branaire-Ducru is one of the more distinctive wines of St.-Julien. Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux has turned out another classic. While not as opulent or fleshy as the 2003, and it remains to be seen if it will eclipse the 2000, the 2005 is a big, structured, intensely rich effort with raspberry, blueberry, and spring flower garden characteristics, stunning purity, full-bodied power, and good underlying acidity as well as harmony. The hard tannins suggest 8-9 years of cellaring will be beneficial; it should last for three decades. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+."
95 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Dark red-ruby. Plum, chocolate and some exotic smoky oak on the nose. Lush, smooth and sweet but not at all over the top; offers unusual volume and breadth for Branaire. The exotic aspect carries through on the palate, and yet this wine is holding plenty of material in reserve. Finishes with building tannins and excellent length. Offers superb potential for aging."
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Very floral, showing blueberry, licorice and mineral on the nose. Full and very silky, with beautifully polished tannins. Long and caressing. This is always very well done and good value for the quality. Best after 2010."
92 Points
Wine Spectator
"Unabashed in its ripeness and conveying plenty of extract, the Branaire-Ducru is among the weightier workings of the Saint-Julien class of 2005. Its frontal fleshiness reminds a bit of a fine Pomerol, but its ample tannins are those of Left Bank Bordeaux. A deep and sturdy and ageworthy wine, it could do with slightly longer aging than its mates, and eight to ten years in the cellar should do the trick."
