The GRAPHISOFT BIMx is an innovative, interactive, 3D presentation tool for architects, which sets new standards for design communication and presentation. |
What's new in BIMx Update
Mobile Application
The updates to BIMx for iOS and Android devices are already available at the App Store and Play Store.
The latest major BIMx update includes the following new features and bug fixes:
Real-time 3D Cutaway function
With the 3D Cutaway function, you can dynamically cut the BIMx model with a horizontal cutting plane. The cut surfaces are highlighted with an orange color and the cutting plane can be moved along in the vertical direction. This way, you can get a floor plan-like overview of the entire model and locate internal model parts that are hard to find with the explore method. So the 3D Cutaway provides an easy-to-understand view also for non-professional viewers.
Please note that only construction elements will be cut; objects remain intact.
Improved rendering technology
A new rendering engine technology is implemented in the updated version of BIMx for mobile devices for both IOs and Android platforms. The development results in:
Black and White shading mode
A new Black and White shading mode based on Global Illumination is introduced in this BIMx update. More about shading modes in BIMx: http://archicadwiki.com/BIMx/Settings#Shading
Parallel Projection Setting
BIMx can now display parallel (axonometric) projections and perspectives. Axonometric projections automatically show the entire model in the center of your view. Perspectives are defined by a viewpoint and a specific target.
The new Projection item in the Settings menu allows you to choose between the two 3d display modes.
Increased performance
Shorter model loading time
BIMx models can be loaded faster as in the previous BIMx versions.
Significantly better user experience
As a result of an increased FPS (frame per second) rate, model navigation is two to three times faster on average.
Less memory usage
BIMx uses slightly less memory, which means that a bigger model can be opened.
Give feedback with an ease
To give us feedback, the easiest and best way is now to use the built in message sender tool. The feedback button is available from the upper right corner of the BIMx model list.
Recent fixes in update 2.5.1224
- Models created with older versions might have shown up with wrong scale
- The application could crash if a file was opened while another load process was still in progress
- Downloaded models were not showing up on project list
BIMx provides 3D environment to explore full BIM models with game-like navigation on mobile devices or on desktop computers.

Ken Block Hot Wheels Car
Hot Wheels – Ken Block RC Gymkhana.
Ken Block's Ford Fiesta hits Venice Beach, CA, only it's an RC stunt car instead of a full sized vehicle that takes on Venice Beach Skate Park. The short video reminds us of Ken Block's ad for DiRT 3 tilt-shift edition. We also found Traxxis' version of Ken Block's Fiesta which is a much more realistic 4 wheel drive RC car.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<................< 18 of May, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. This clip introduces Ella Kros,a lifestyle Mistress from Isreal. She walks into the room in a breathtaking skintight latex dress and matching unltra high heeled sandals. Her strong slave is already waiting, masked and his hands tied up on his back with a black rubber harness.
With an arrogant attitude Ella lights up a cigarette and starts teasing the slave. She pulls his head very close to her lips and blows the smoke in his mouth. The slave wants to kiss her red lips but there is no chance for him. Instead he is ordered to open his mouth and the mean lady drops the ash on his tongue. With a warm and soft voice she orders him to swallow the ash. The slave is so much attracted by her body and her dominant aura that there is no need for more commands. A short nod is enough and he opens his mouth again for the Mistress in rubber... Visit Sado Ladies - 14 of May, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. The mean Mistress Akella has a new game for her slave. She will not only use her favourite bullwhips on him, he is also ordered not to move while the painful Whips bite into his skin! Akella looks so stunning in her skin tight jodhpurs, combined with breathtaking designer boots and a dominant corset. She walks around the slave, whose arms are chained to the ceiling, and tells him her perfidious idea. She is going to whip him now and everytime move he makes will extend the whipping. Of course, the pain from the whipping is so hard and he tries to move away from the sadistic lady who extend the beating with a cruel smile. This will become a very long nightmare for her victim... Visit Sado Ladies - 11 of May, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. A rich business lady returns from a shopping trip, her private slave is awaiting her at her house, ready to serve her. He opens the door of the car for her and the first thing he sees are the expensive designer boots he spend his life under. The black leather boots are decorated with several chains of diamonds. As usual, Lady Pascal clicks the chain into his collar and pulls him behind her to a steel stair that leed directly to her relaxing area. But the boots of this arrogant lady needs a polish. No, not the boots, rather the sole and the heels. And that's what this lower creature is living for. His Mistress stands high above him and he crawls under her heels and starts licking and cleaning them with his tongue now. He does his best but as always the sadistic boot lady is not satisfied. She orders him to put out his tongue as far as he can and to put it on a step. With much cruel pleasure she then steps on his tongue with her sharp heel. He moans and cries a lot... music in Lady Pascal's ears. Visit Sado Ladies - 07 of May, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. This is probably the most severe clip we ever filmed with Lori and Chanel! Everything starts rather harmless. Walking through the femdom club, Chanel and Lori find a hidden room. In the corner there is a cage with a strong slave inside. Both young ladies decide to have some fun with him.
Chanel looks so stunning in her skin tight and shine leggins and also Lori has a very dominant style, she wears joghpurs and black leather boots. They order the slave to stay between two wooden posts and to keep position. Each of the mean girls chooses a whip and they start to give him a good beating. But somehow the situation changes. Especially Chanel seems to be in a much more severe mood. She walks around him and starts a heavy faceslapping. She spits into his face and continues to slap his face until it's really red. With a very arrogant attitude she presents the whip to him and then both girls double whip him. But again, Chanel breaks the whipping to continue the hard face slapping... Visit Sado Ladies - 04 of May, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. Lady Ezada is such a devilish woman! Dressed in skin tight, black leather she appears in the room where her slave is already bound to a net op ropes. She sees her and his cock grows up within a few seconds. Ezada loves to make such an impression and she enjoys her sexual power ofer slaves, in fact it arouses her.
But she also loves to bring pain and frustration to her slaves and what is better than a ruined orgasm? She starts teasing the slave with her leather clad body, with her red lips and her expensive perfume. With her leather gloves hand she starts wanking his cock, telling him that she will start a countdown now from 10 and if he will not cum until the countdown ends, she will ruin his orgasm. She starts slowly to count down, wanking his cock with expert fingers and the slave is ready to cum in time. But the devilish lady was lying. As she sees that he will cum now, she stops wanking and unhands his cock, what is very frustrating for the slave. He cums, but without pleasure. Instead, this way of cuming is very painful... what a fun for Lady Ezada who just watches and laughts at him...Visit Sado Ladies - 01 of May, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. Mistress Akella is very disappointed because her working slave has done a very bad job. And that means a corporal punishment right here, outside, on the cross. The slaves starts a discussion because he worked really hard but i simply was too much work for one man. But who is interested in his opinion? He is being chained to the cross and Mistress Akella starts to beat him with her riding crop. By the way: The mean lady looks so stunning in her black overall, full leather, black boots. Her leather gloves match the color of her red painted lips and her long blond hair drives every man crazy. After whipping the slave, Akella comes to the conclusion that this slave need much more punishments in the next days. And it's unbelievable, but he says: "Are you sure?" He really asks the Mistress a question without permission. You can imagine what now happens... Visit Sado Ladies - 28 of April, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. They are young, they are spoiled, they are cruel and they love to dominate men, no matter how old they are. Lady Chanel and Lady Faye are a dangerous duo, especially if they want to enjoy a nice evening. Every slave knows what that means by now. Dressed in their skin tight leather leggings and high boots, the yound goddesses are sitting at the bar, enjoying a glas of champagne. All they need for a perfect evening is a slave and so Chanel calls her old private slave. He is ordered to greet her properly by licking her boots and then he may light up the cigarettes for the mean girls. The fun can start now. He is ordered to lay down on the floor. The cruel ladies start to step on his hands and feet with their sharp heels and all the time they use his mouth as their ashtray. If they drop ash to the dirty ground, he must lick it away and in the end, they lay the hot cigarette on his butt and stamp it out with their boots. Visit Sado Ladies - 24 of April, 2013 : 10:56 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. This clip has its own story: We wanted to start with the last shooting in 2012 at 11am that day but we got a phone call from Madame Charlotte: She and her driver were caught up in a traffic jam because there was a lot of snow overnight. Usually she needs 2 hours but today she needed 5 hours for the journey. You can imagine her mood when she arrived and her glance at our slaves did not promise good things!
She immediately went to the checkroom and when she returned, totally dressed in tight black leather, it was so clear that one of the slaves will suffer now, really suffer! She pointed out her victim and the slave was bound to a rack. "Are you ready for the cane, slave?", the cruel lady asked him, not really interested in his answer. What followed was the most severe caning we ever filmed with Madame Charlotte!... Visit Sado Ladies - 21 of April, 2013 : 10:54 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. Mistress Ezada sits in a big chair in the lounge of a very luxury femdom club. In front of her is the slave chained to a wooden post. That's the position Mistress Ezada loves to see such strong slaves. She orders him to light up her cigarette, what is impossible for him because of the chains he can't move his hand Close enough to the cigarette and of course, the arrogant Mistress does not help him. What a welcom excuse for her to humiliate and affront him. As she finally takes the lighter in her hand, it is quite hot because the flame was already burning for a while. That makes her so angry that she presses the hot metal against his nipples after she lightet up her cigarette. His pain helps her to calm down and s... Visit Sado Ladies - 18 of April, 2013 : 10:54 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. A slave of Mistress Blackdiamoond was caged for a long day and ordered to clean several pairs of her shoes. The arrogant young lady returns and wants to check his work. But to say the truth: She just want to humiliate that strong man! With a mean voice she tells him that she unfortunately forgot the shoes she is just wearing. Of course she wants him to clean them now but she gives him a serious warning: He only has to lick the thin leather. He is not allowed to touch her skin with his tongue. While he does his work, the mean girl does not stop to humiliate that strong man. She tells him that he is worthless, ugly and nothing more th... Visit Sado Ladies - 15 of April, 2013 : 10:54 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. Miss Leni is still angry with her slave because he was lazy and spent the time with smelling her expensive leather boots although he was told to clean up the dungeon. 12 of April, 2013 : 10:54 : info about femdom updates : Sado Ladies updated. Lady Chanel Returns from a walk outside. Before she enters the Club the mean girl stops at a muddy place and makes sure that the soles of her boots gets really dirty. She knows that two of her slaves are awaiting her inside the club and that will be really funny to use them for cleaning the boots.

After almost five months of holding kidnapped American/German Michael Scott Moore without results, his kidnappers are getting impatient. Somalia Report has obtained exclusive video footage of Moore filmed by his captors on Friday May 18, 2012. Two local journalists from Galkayo were driven to the spot in a Toyota Hilux blindfolded. One journalist was ordered to videotape the staged event while the other took still photos. His kidnappers have been demanding a ransom but without any luck. The three dozen kidnappers are living under the daily fear of attack by U.S. Special Operations based in nearby Camp Lemonnier.
Mr. Moore went to Somalia in early January of 2012 to write about Somalia and pirates. Now he has a front row seat. He had met a former resident of central Somalia in Germany who had invited him to Galmadug to write about the idea of developing a port to handle World Food Programme deliveries in Hobyo. Moore knew that Somalia was a dangerous place for foreigners having written about the region since 2008. Today Somalia has just under 300 international hostages currently being held for ransom.
Two weeks into his trip he was scheduled to take the African Express flight to Nairobi via Mogadishu. Although the trip to the airport from his hotel in Galkayo didn't seem that dangerous, the risk factors were there. Western journalists kidnapped by their own or government-provided security guards include Canadian Amanda Lindhout, Australian Nigel Brennan, Brit Colin Freeman and Spaniard José Cendon. Three months earlier Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted had just wrapped up a class on demining safety and were also on the road to the Galkayo airport. They were kidnapped by their security detail who had secretly colluded with pirates.
Assured of security by forces in Galkayo even after that kidnapping, Moore thought he was safe when he left to catch the flight in Galkayo. They lied. His kidnappers knew he was worth much more in ransom than any publicity he would provide on the plight of the Somali people.
Just Another Journalist Kidnapped In Somalia
Moore lived in Berlin and wrote for the German media company Der Spiegel . He was best known for writing "Sweetness and Blood", an adventurous travelogue about the origins of surfing. The Manhattan Beach, California resident was also known as writer for alternative weeklies.
Based on the immersive style of his book and perhaps the frigid weather in Berlin, it wouldn't be unusual for Moore to take someone up on their offer to visit Somalia to write about pirates and its people.
On the way to the airport in Galkayo, he was kidnapped. The modus operandi was identical to the previous kidnapping in which an American and Dane from the Danish Demining Group (DDG) were kidnapped.
The kidnap of the aid workers were to feature in Moore's future when on January 25, 2012, a week after he was kidnapped U.S. Special Operations troops locked down Galkayo, HALO'd SEALS from the sky, silently executed suprised Somali guards and then successfully loaded the two hostages on to waiting helicopters.
The U.S. military planning required to rescue the DDG employees had taken weeks. Intel gathering using phone intercepts, visual confirmation via persistent surveillance linked to commandos' timing the rescue to coincide with the guards crashing from their late night bouts of chewing qat. Just to be sure there were no surprises, each armed Somalia either sleeping or awake was killed with the well practiced double tap. In all nine kidnappers were killed during the 3:30am blacked out rescue.
There was not enough time to locate or include Moore in the tightly coordinated and timed rescue. While the grateful NGO's were whisked back to Camp Lemonnier, the rescuers knew the fate of the other kidnapped American would be adversely affected by their success.
A Dangerous Business
The rescue changed the dynamics of Somali kidnapping. Now criminals could no longer calmly wait out the machinations of hostage negotiators or inure themselves to the pleas of family as they waited for a final ransom payment. The rescue also put pressure on the kidnappers who are from the Sa'ad clan of Hawiye sub-clan since the clan members of the Saleban clan who were killed in the DDG rescue now wanted to grab Moore in revenge. The kidnappers had demanded $10 million for the NGO pair and demanded the same for Moore. The difference is that the pirates have added more men to guard Moore which drives up their daily cost and logistics. Moore's kidnappers are now asking for $20 million, about 20 times what a hostage ransom normally brings.
When Moore was kidnapped he was first taken to the Hobyo area. Initially politicians, elders and businessmen tried to negotiate with the kidnappers. Under pressure from locals who did not want to be under attack, the kidnappers immediately called for reinforcements and Moore was quickly moved to Ceel Huur, a pirate launching point near Harardhere. Rumors of Moore moved aboard ships abounded and then the American was taken to the traditional hostage holding area around Wisil.
The same kidnap group is also holding two Seychellois fishermen, Songoire Marc and Rolly Tambara as well as the crew of the fishing vessel Aride. The two female MSF employees, the crew of the MV Leopard and other victims are also in the vicinity.
Censorship and Blackout
It appears that Moore may have also have been on assignment for Der Spiegel. After hearing of Moore's kidnap, the German media organization immediately began a campaign to hide their relationship with Moore, sending out emails to censor any media coverage. Emails were sent to Somalia Report and other publications demanding that they cease any coverage of his kidnap. Some publications complied, some did not. There were no inquiries as to his health or safety. His blog has been shut down and Moore's articles on Somalia that date back to 2008 have been removed and can only be found from sources other than Der Spiegel's website.
Attempts at news blackouts and censor ship by the affected media are standard practice when corporations and aId groups hire professional security companies to manage kidnaps and reduce their corporate liability. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other high level corporations have attempted Is also is bad news for the victim because it means that corporate interests will be overriding all others. It also means that the pirates know they are dealing with someone with insurance and will attempt threatening and often theatrical stunts to gain traction. This corporate strategy of protecting corporate assets over insuring the speedy release of hostages has extended time held in captivity in the maritime sector as well. The average time for a mariner in captivity has extended from 30 days in 2008 to half a year. Non corporate hostages have spend between a year and two years in captivity.
Moore holds both a U.S. and German passport and it is not clear which country or corporation is taking the lead in his rescue or welfare. Germany currently does not have any anti terrorism resources in the region but the United States maintains significant intelligence and surveillance assets in Djibouti, Kenya and in the Indian Ocean.
Video Of Moore Filmed Last Week
Somalia Report has been checking on the health and status of Moore since he was kidnapped. We have maintained an open door policy for any photos, video or reports. A video was sent to us on Sunday, May 20th, 2012 that was recorded two days earlier.
The video is carefully staged and is similar to recordings of the MV Leopard crew in which they even pull out hankies and pretend to cry. Although the plight of the kidnapped foreigners is serious and proof of life is critical, it must be made clear that the video has been released to Somalia Report in a direct attempt to put pressure on negotiators.
The translator requests that Moore ask the German government to pay the ransom and to give an answer in three days. Moore tries to remember his lines. "The kidnappers will sell me to al-Shabaab," he says on cue.
The kidnappers then ask Moore to repeat and make sure he adds the U.S. government will pay the ransom.
"Both of them," he answers clumsily.
The kidnapper asks, "What are you feeling now, for your health?"
"My life is terrible," Moore says several times.
"How much food do you get per day?"
Moore insists, with off camera prompting, that he has not eaten for two days and that his health is bad without adding any specifics. During the filming, the English-speaking Somali kidnapper is frustrated with the Somali cameraman's command of English and begins asking the questions directly.
Moore is also being held with two men captured from the Aride, a boat hijacked off the Seychelles, but they did not appear in the video. Pirates told Somalia Report that the "white man" is tied to a tree and that the "black man" named "Lorry" is fine. There was no information provided on the condition of the Aride crew.
The journalist who filmed this video did not work for Somalia Reportand were blindfolded when taken to the location near Wisil outside of Hobyo. He was compensated for the exclusive use of the video. The other journalist is selling the still photos taken at the same time.
Historically Somali kidnappers do not harm their captives and are known for these type of stunts. But other pirate groups have beaten, starved and in one case amputated a hand to force payments. This kidnap group has not harmed a hostage in the past.
As a minor note of consolation, almost all of the western journalists who have been kidnapped have written books on their ordeal.

Kristen Stewart, who shot to fame as Bella Swan in "The Twilight Saga" films and has a starring role in "Snow White and the Huntsman", jumped to the top of Forbes.com's annual list of highest-paid actresses on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old earned an estimated $34.5 million from May 2011 to May 2012 and pushed Angelina Jolie into fourth place.
Cameron Diaz, who had a surprise hit with "Bad Teacher", came in second with $34 million.
"She (Stewart) is an up-and-coming star. She is earning a lot of money from one of the most successful franchises of all time. This is who you would expect to see right now," said Dorothy Pomerantz, Forbes Los Angeles bureau chief.
"This year you are seeing somebody young and at the brink of potentially great stardom sitting on the top of the list."
Forbes.com compiled the list and estimated salaries by talking to agents, managers and lawyers and based earnings on pay, profits, residuals, endorsements and advertising work.
Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, who largely took a break from filming after 2009's "The Blind Side", came third with $25 million.
Jolie, who topped last year's list along with Sarah Jessica Parker, dropped to the fourth spot with earnings of $20 million while Charlize Theron, Stewart's co-star in "Snow White and the Huntsman" who also appears in "Prometheus", trailed at $18 million, and rounded out the top five places.
Parker, whose 2011 film "I Don't Know How She Does It" brought in a disappointing $30 million at the worldwide box office, slipped to seventh place with a $15 million salary.
"She is almost earning more from her perfume and endorsement deals right now than from entertainment. That is true of a lot of women.
They have these outside deals that are very lucrative. Angelina Jolie earns a lot from residuals, as does Sarah Jessica Parker," Pomerantz said.

Agulhas National Park
Did you know?
There are about 9000 species of fynbos, with new species discovered almost every year.
Most people drive through the Agulhas National Park on their way to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa. There's a glamour, an explorer's thrill, that lies in visiting such a place.
The second oldest lighthouse in South Africa was built here in 1848, an exclamation mark at the continent's tip. (The oldest is the Green Point lighthouse in Cape Town, erected in 1824). The Agulhas lighthouse offers stunning views of this gently rounded coastal peninsula.
There is so much more to see. Even though this area is still in the process of being developed as a national park, it already attracts birders, beach-lovers, amateur botanists interested in the pristine fynbos, and anyone who loves a good shipwreck story. There's a shipwreck for every kilometre of coastline here.
Agulhas means 'needles' in Portuguese. The peninsula was named by navigators in 1500 because true north and magnetic north coincided here. The needle-sharp rocks may also have been a factor.
The weather at Cape Agulhas is quite mild, but every now and then mad winds whip up the sea, threatening ships with 30 metre-high waves. The dozens of ships that have foundered along this spectacular coastline are a source of tragic and comic tales of castaways, stowaways and, some say, ghosts.
Here you'll also find ancient Khoi middens and primitive stone fish traps, traces of life stretching back many thousands of years.
You may want to just succumb quietly to the rhythms of the sea. The Agulhas National Park protects a 56km coastline - white beaches from which to watch whales, giant dunes covered in strandveld, and fascinating tidal pools patrolled by black oystercatchers. Inland you'll walk through fragrant fynbos, fussed by long-tailed sugarbirds. It's ever so easy to imagine yourself a castaway in an untouched land.

text: We all love the freedom of coming and going as we please: most of the time that means hopping in the car. We take our cars pretty much anywhere from short hops to the supermarket to cross country family vacations. But there are times when car travel isnt always practical. For those times, Local Taxi Services are a great alternative for getting where you need to go. There are a number of reasons why you would want to rely on Local Taxi Services. For example, they are a convenient and economical way to get to the airport, especially if youre going to be away for an extended period of time. While driving to an airport may be less costly up front, when you consider that a week's worth of parking at an airport could cost you upwards of one hundred dollars, you begin to realize that it pays to use Local Taxi Services that cost only a fraction of that. Local Taxi Services also take the stress out of driving at times of heavy traffic volume or when parking might present a problem. If you're planning on attending an event where there might be thousands of people in attendance, relying on Local Taxi Services to get you there and bring you home means that you don't have to deal with the inevitable traffic snarls that accompany such events. It also means that you can enjoy the event without worrying about limiting your alcohol consumption. This is especially important if you're attending the event alone and have no one else with you to act as a designated driver. If youre ill and need medical attention, but dont feel its serious enough to call an ambulance, Local Taxi Services can bring you to your physician or to the local hospital quickly and conveniently. You can even arrange to have the driver wait for you if your visit will be for a short duration.

Q&A with Michelle Rhee: Part III
Institute for Education high school journalism interns Christina Valentine, Georgie Milanovic and Jenny Shore collaborated with me in this lively, informative Q-and-A. Enjoy our capital city's transformational chancellor, Michelle Rhee. We thought she rocked! Part III
How do you stay fit? What do you do to relax?
I run on the treadmill after my daughters go to bed.
If you were to recommend one book to a D.C. high school student, what would it be?
Dream City: Race, Power, and the Decline of Washington, D.C., by Harry S. Jaffe and Tom Sherwood.
Who has been your role model?
I have been fortunate to have a few strong role models. Personally, my parents are my role models. Professionally, Joel Klein, the chancellor of New York's school system, has been a great mentor to me, and so has Kati Haycock, president of the Education Trust.
What is your favorite quote on education?
I believe in the idea that public schools can be the "great equalizer" in this country, where if you do the right thing and go to school, do the work assigned, etc., you will have the same shot at the most competitive careers out there as any other kid in this country. This idea has been around since Horace Mann founded public education over 150 years ago. But in this country, it's not happening yet. It's starting to, but students can tell that the neighborhood they live in still very much determines the quality of education that a child receives. This is just so old and unfair, and not what I think America is about at all. We have to change it.
What inspired you to name your daughter Starr?
It's a family name on her dad's side.
What is it like being engaged to a former NBA player? Some people have speculated that you may leave your job to overcome the distance — are you considering this?
We don't talk about basketball very much, actually! Kevin [Johnson] is doing incredibly important things as the mayor of Sacramento, and I got to know him through our work in education. He has a lot to accomplish in Sacramento and I have a lot to do here, so we're going to stick to the bi-coastal relationship. The distance is not going to stop me from staying in D.C.!
How is DCPS addressing Mrs. Obama's concerns about fighting childhood obesity? Are changes being made in the cafeterias or PE classes?
We are definitely on the same page as Mrs. Obama. In addition to the health risk that obesity poses for students, poor eating and exercise habits also present a learning risk. They both affect behavior and performance in school ─ not to mention the ways that people are discriminated against in the work world if they are obese. We actually started to work on this back in 2007, when we found that high school students weren't eating the food in the cafeteria and were going to McDonald's or other fast food chains instead. When I tried the food, I couldn't blame them! So we decided to change food vendors and had students taste-test the food and help us pick the vendor, and now students are starting to choose our food more often. We also have some terrific pilot programs going on to bring freshly cooked food into schools and to give students healthy breakfasts — students who don't eat breakfast are actually more likely to be overweight. Some of these initiatives have been covered in The Washington Post recently if you'd like more details.
Kathy Kemper is founder and CEO of the Institute for Education, a nonprofit foundation that recognizes and promotes leadership and civility locally, nationally and in the world community.

It's because of children like you that I don't talk to people. I had a similar thing happen to me yesterday.
- Russian kid shows up on my shore (yes I'm next to a river. Thought I'd set myself challenging gameplay)
- someone steals his boat.
- he asks to take my only one, promising to return it in 2 mins.
- I say no.
- he cuts down all my trees and taunts me with obscenities.
- he wanders off.
- later, I find a second boat. I pm him that it's on my coast and that he can have it, unclaimed, if he wants to come fetch it.
- he continues obscenities at me.
True asshole, and you sound just like him. Not saying you are him, but nobody is going to "LOL YOU'RE SO COOL FOR TROLLING THESE GUYS LOLOL" at you for what you're doing, people will just label you as a butthurt 11 year ill and avoid you.

Filed under: Hawaii, rain, travel | Tags: garden, Hawaii, Honolulu, memorial, Oahu, rain, water
OK, so after three trips to the island of O'ahu, and several people asking me what they thought should be seen, I decided to put together a top picks list. All of these are on any major tourist map of the island, but few of these are "commercial" tourist stops. Most require a fee to enter or at least park, but not all. Note, finding places in Hawaii is not always easy. Roads are narrow, traffic is a mess, and many really good sites are on the end of dead end roads.
Since many of these are from past trips I did not include photos. Check back to earlier posts. I did not feel I needed to cover all of them again.
Many place names seem the same. Wai, in any name means fresh water, Kai, means salt water. With water being such a large part of Hawaiian culture it is no wonder that it figures into so many place names.
Yes, I have ranked them according to the ones you MUST see and those you should see. There are many other wonderful places to visit, not all of them famous, spend some time and explore. Get off of the beach.
10) Makapu'u Point – On the eastern end of the Island of O'ahu, this overlook could be a place to see whales in season. When the weather is nice you can see several of the islands to the east of O'ahu. There is a parking lot and a paved trail to the overlook. I've been past here, but not to the top. It's a reason I need to go back.
9) Lanikai and Kailua Beaches – On the north east side of the island, this is a really great beach. It has none of the hype of Waikiki, and is not easy to get to, but worth the trip. This is where the locals go.
Take a jacket and hang on to your hat. When the ocean breeze meets the mountains you can have a real wind here. The over look can be reached from the Pali Highway as you cross the island from Honolulu to Kailua and Lanikai. I've visited this site every trip to the island.
The site of a famous battle for the union of the Kingdom of Hawaii under one ruler, the cliff face looks north towards the side of O'ahu that many tourists never see.
7) Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. If you want to snorkel with the fishes, this is the place. Sorry, I've never been here, I'm just going on reports of those who have been here. Another reason I need to make another trip.
6) Iolani Palace -
The only royal palace in the United States, come here to find out how this noble Victorian Era Kingdom was run and prospered until some of the influential Anglos decided to take over. At one time this palace looked out over the harbor, now buildings and fill have moved it far inland and hide the sea from its windows. After the death of the queen it was used for government offices, but it has now been restored and has many of the original furnishings and artwork. Check out some of the other buildings in the area, you may see some you recognize from movies and TV shows.
5) The National Cemetery of the Pacific, aka The Punch Bowl
You've seen this statue if you ever saw a commercial for the TV series Hawaii 5-0. Situated in an old volcanic crater, this memorial to the dead of WWII and the Korean Conflict is a place that needs some time.
The stunning mosaics of the major battles of the Pacific are worth the trip alone. Do wander around and see all of the sights. Don't miss the walkway to the Honolulu overlook.
4) Diamond Head – The first travelers here saw the reflection of light off of this extinct volcano and thought it was covered in Diamonds. Do find your way around to the tunnel and parking lot inside. It's a bit of a hike to the top, but the view of the city and the reefs out in the ocean are worth it. Don't stop at the first view port, crawl through and continue the trail to the top.
3) The Bishop Museum – You'll need time to explore this place. Just the museum of Polynesian artifacts can take the whole day. Displays include a whale hanging in the main hall, and displays of everything from flowers to clothing making. There are five buildings here, try to make at least two.
2) Waimea Valley – For flower lovers everywhere, you need to visit here. On the north west side of the island, this one is about as far from Honolulu as you can get. While Honolulu gets only inches of rainfall, this valley gets feet. Bring a raincoat, umbrella and perhaps a swimsuit to swim in the pool at the top of the valley. You will wander through an amazing amount of Pacific Island flora. There is a wide variety of birds flitting and walking around the grounds. You'll need hours to get just an overview of the place. The restaurant has an interesting menu, enjoy.
1) Pearl Harbor Historic Sites – Everyone knows about the USS Arizona Memorial. It's a free tour out to the memorial for which you need to pick up your tickets in advance. If you are not on a guided tour, you should be there early in the morning to be sure of a shuttle time. While you wait for your shuttle you can visit the memorial to submarines, look at old rockets and torpedoes or visit the USS Bowfin, a WWII sub. There is also a new visitors center where you can learn all about the attack on Pearl Harbor. On nearby Ford Island you can visit the USS Missouri where the war with Japan ended.
Well, there you have it, my top ten. This is by no means a complete list of places to visit on the island. I did not include Calvary by the Sea Lutheran Church where my daughter acquired her Hawaiian family, or Waikiki beach, where the tourists usually outnumber the locals at all hours of the day. There are any number of commercial enterprises that want to take your money for "once in a lifetime" events. I could have told you about the convention center or the shopping malls or any of a number of parks, the aquarium or the zoo. I did not include such eating places as the north shore shrimp and seafood shacks, the mac nut farm, or the ranch. I could have told you about the highest grossing restaurant in the islands, Duke's, or the neighborhood BBQ's where most Hawaiians go for a quick meal. There are hiking trails and climbing areas, mountains and forests, hunting and farming. There is so much more here than Waikiki. I hope you get out and see some of it.

My recent trip to Honolulu for the American Farm Bureau Federation Convention was my third trip in the last three years. With a daughter living there I have a local tour guide to show me around. Although I have seen some of the usual sights, I've also been able to visit some out-of-the-way places too. You see, the locals do not spend their time at Waikiki beach. It is far from the best beach on the island of Oahu, much less the whole state, and yet many come to Hawaii and never see anything more than Waikiki. A beach in Hawaii cannot be owned, it is public property. Even in the most expensive housing areas, openings must be left so that anyone can walk down to the Pacific to surf, fish or sit in the sun. If you have a multi-million dollar home, you will usually have a fence between you and the beach. I'm going to show you a few of the places I visited this last trip, some beaches, some not, some famous, some not, but all Oahu, Hawaii.
First of all you have to realize that Honolulu is squeezed between the mountains and the sea. There is not a lot of place to put the city. It has a good harbor which is what helped the city grow in this place. The Kings of Hawaii had their favorite spot here, but it is now so overfilled that there is no sign of the wonderful beaches that kings and their families once played on.
All of these hotels are built on fill. Even the sand is hauled in, they were bringing in more when I was there. Waikiki is almost all artificial these days. The waves are gentle and the temperatures are great, hotels and marinas crowd the edge of the Pacific.
This is a sight many come to Waikiki for, sundown on the beach, this one is from the terrace of one of the more famous watering holes, Duke's. The beach was crowded, the music was loud and the wait for a table was about an hour and a half.
The next night we snapped this one from a eatery in the marina area called the Shorelander. Again a beautiful tropical sunset. Fewer people because there was no sand.
Here's a small neighborhood park that is hard to find. It's on a dead-end street, there is no parking, it's difficult to walk to, but it is no less spectacular. Getting to the ocean is not the plan here. Spending time surf side is the reason, and when the waves are right….
The waves this day were mere three footers. It would be interesting to be here when the surf was really up.
Here's my guide at another out-of-the-way park. There are hiking trailheads all over the place. Most are way back in the neighborhoods with no parking. This popular hiking trail was busy with families and young singles. The views were excellent.
Here's the beginning of the hike. It's not very promising is it. It's steep, it's rough, and it is not well maintained, but look at what comes once you get above the trees.
Stop and catch your breath, this is the first pillbox, it is not our destination. It's straight down if you go left, and a long tumble if you go right. This is considered an easy hike by the young ladies who were showing me the path.
Rare flowers can be hiding where you least expect them.
Do you blame these young ladies for making the hike, the view is wonderful, and a breeze takes away the sweat from your hike. It only took about 20 minutes to get here. That's Lanikai down on the beach, and Kaneohe off in the distance.
Here's a nice little beach that doesn't get much traffic. It is a favorite of ours since you access it from Calvary by the Sea Lutheran Church.
The view towards the mountains from the beach here is not as well known as the one the other way.
Most of the beaches on the windward (northeast) side have a long ways out to the reef. The area from Chinaman's Hat to Kaneohe is a large bay that is a local playground.
This picture from the Pali Overlook shows much more open land on the Windward side (north) than you see near Honolulu (south). There are even larger areas of open space on the west side of the island where all of the pineapple and sugarcane fields used to be.
On the right side of the picture you can see the island where they filmed the TV series Gilligan's Island. It's easy to walk to the island, not at all a remote place.
There are many more beaches on Oahu than the kiddie pool that is Waikiki. Next time you are in the islands check out a few. Most have a lot more sand and a lot fewer people than Waikiki. Do look for notices of danger spots. There are beaches here that only daredevils use. Stop awhile to appreciate the natural beauty. Ask about local eating spots and seafood shacks. Check out Shave Ice. Perhaps you can even get your Shave Ice at President Obama's favorite spot. Perhaps one of the locals will show you the real Hawaii that is so near yet so far from Waikiki.

Treating the Whole Body
Chiropractic physicians believe in treating the whole body, not just specific symptoms. Chiropractic physicians believe their ears are one of the most important tools as a health care provider.
Chiropractic physicians believe that the human body is the most powerful medical tool of all. By listening to the body and the patient, Chiropractic care addresses the overall health of the patient.
Chiropractic care is safe and natural way of healing the body with a belief in the fact that the body has its own restorative capabilities to heal and can draw on these capabilities whenever in need. It helps patients to avoid chronic pain and can prevent physical problems before they start or get worse.
Chiropractic care involves the whole health of the body. Treatments involve using the internal healing systems in the body to relieve the spinal problems that can interfere with the nerves and cells. Therefore, receiving chiropractic treatments is a way of ensuring that every part of body is functioning as it should.
Chiropractic care is the most recommended form of alternative medicine. It is based on the belief that certain conditions are caused by impairment of your nervous system due to problems in your joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones. While chiropractors do not use drugs or surgery, they sometimes do refer patients for medical care when they believe it is necessary.

Here's the portion of the article that was online - the Thomas part wasn't.
This book features beautiful writing, honest memories and some very funny astronaut stories. At 544 pages, it's long, but we bet many readers won't be able to put down this real-life adventure story.

Of interest to the younger readers, Mike Collins also wrote "Flying To The Moon," which is essentially a condensed "Carrying the Fire." I found a fairly recent paperback copy in a used bookstore a year or so back. (I believe the book is also known as "Flying To The Moon and Other Strange Places.")

I was a space fiend growing up in the 60's. But when college rolled around (early 1970's) aerospace was tanking so I decided to go study the (then) burgeoning nuclear power field. One summer day when I was working construction on a nuclear power plant, we got rained out. I went into town to the local bookstore where I found a paperback of Carrying the Fire. I bought it and couldn't put it down. That book convinced me that I really needed to be in the space biz, so I changed majors as soon as I got back to school that fall.
Fortuitous decision - Three Mile Island happened a month before I graduated, and stalled the nuclear power industry for the last 30 years...
Thanks Mike Collins!

And you know, I think this was a book, a hard cover, probably a first edition, that I paid absolute full retail price for in a mall near my home. As a broke, college student at the time, that was a lot of money!
Now I am a broke, 55-year old and am always looking for a bargain! Cheers!
You know, a good Apollo 11 40th anniversary project might be to read some of these classics again... and, hey, maybe even do a few "lectures" in the public library/school systems in the area!

It's a wonderfully wry and eloquent piece by him - reminding us, as if we needed any reminder, of what a great writer he is. He takes us up to date with his life and thoughts in a few succinct words - the few new pages alone are better than many full-length books... I'd recommend browsing it too.

I have nothing, really, to add to other posters' praise of General Collins' wonderful memoir. I will say that in my own (sort of) humble opinion, any short list of essential books chronicling the Gemini-Apollo era begins with Chaikin's "A Man on the Moon" and Murray and Cox's "Apollo." "Carrying the Fire" would be my next choice.
I also recall reading it the first time through and thinking on numerous occasions, "There's NO WAY that this wasn't ghost-written." At the time (I couldn't have been more than 12 or 13), I still bought into the stereotype of astronauts as being quite uncomfortable communicators outside of the technical arcana of their profession. General Collins definitely opened my eyes, and mind, on that score.

On edit: Video time-cued here, and the transcript —
I actually was inspired to pursue becoming an astronaut because of a book that I read when I was about 13 or 14 years old by an astronaut named Michael Collins, who was part of the Apollo 11 crew. It was called "Carrying the Fire." It was a fantastic account of his early life as a pilot and test pilot and I just really fell in love with that profession because of that book. And of course, what he did was one of the most magical things that has happened in the course of human history as far as I am concerned, with the trip he took to the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. So that is what inspired me, that particular book. After that, I read lots and lots more that just inspired me further, but that was really the one that set it all off.
