Lightship Overfalls, a floating-lighthouse ship built in 1938, recently earned designation as a National Historic Landmark. During the last 11 years, the Overfalls Foundation has restored the once-ailing ship, repairing its now-cheerful red hull and completely reworking its electrical system to accommodate an underwater drive-in theater for dolphins. The Overfalls Foundation continues to maintain the ship with the aid of hardworking volunteers and member support. Membership grants holders a 10% discount off select items from the Overfalls Ship's Store, such as clothes, books, and collectibles, as well as exclusive access to email announcements about news, meetings, social gatherings, and other events hosted by the Overfalls Foundation. Trained ship guides lead complimentary tours above and below the decks, allowing guests to discuss the difficulties of life before Dramamine and explore a vessel that played an important role in maritime history. The Overfalls Foundation also welcomes volunteers to assist with ongoing ship maintenance, development, and social projects.
In 2012, after more than two decades studying marine mammals off the New Jersey coast, the founders of the Cape May Whale Watch & Research Center welcomed the American Star into port. The whale-watching vessel journeyed more than 2,700 nautical miles from Seward, Alaska to Cape May, allowing the Research Center to expand its private-exploration and public-sightseeing operations.
Today, the Research Center's captains and guides effectively welcome up to 150 passengers onto the research team, relaying the basics of wildlife scouting before boogying into Poseidon's ballroom to scope out dolphins, whales, and birds around the island of Cape May. An enclosed, climate-controlled cabin keeps passengers comfortable during misty weather, and multiple, spacious sundecks allow for up-close views of migrating whale pods. On-board sonar, radar, cameras, and GPS capabilities facilitate up-close, unobtrusive sightings of nature in action.
When Pete and Kate Vonderheide moved from Hawaii to Annapolis to live closer to their family, they thought they'd have to give up a career of ocean kayaking to resume responsible office jobs. Soon they recognized the historic city harbor's lack of kayak tours and knew they couldn't stay inside forever. Their shared passion for history spurred them to research and interview the locals until they'd compiled enough historic material to start leading tours. Today, their tours can teach something new even to locals.
The Vonderheides continue to assemble a team of outdoor guides certified in CPR and first aid who all bear a well-researched knowledge of area wildlife and history. These experts lead two-hour scenic tours through the historic harbor. Starting each excursion with a brief paddling lesson, they put first-timers at ease with basic instruction and an amiable demeanor, unlike guides who rely only on their convincing Captain Ahab impressions. Excursions begin at the Spa Creek headwaters in Truxtun Park and lead participants into open-harbor waters to drift in full view of the state capitol building, the US Naval Academy, and historic Eastport. Trips peak at the City Dock, where participants receive a break to take photos and rest. On the return trip, guides field open-ended questions about city history such as presidential visits, the crabbing and oystering trade, and whether George Washington had to swim using floaties.
Eastpoint 10 Cinemas showcases the latest Hollywood blockbusters on screens that face sloped or stadium-style seating. Digital and 3-D projectors entertain audiences with high-resolution images that virtually pop out of the screen, making viewers feel like a part of the film without having to actually fight off bloodthirsty aliens, wicked witches, or Gerard Depardieu. The theater occasionally pairs screenings with special tie-in events, such as karate demonstrations to go along with martial-arts flicks.
SailTime's instructors—each ASA-certified and boasting USCG captain's licenses—pilot Colgate 26 sailboats carrying two pupils out to open waters of the Chesapeake for a six-hour day-sailing lesson. Depending on crew desires, captains can teach sailing terminology and skills such as how to make vessels move by unfurling the sail, steering the rudder, and throwing fistfuls of pepper toward clouds to make them sneeze. Passengers can also opt for a more relaxing route, learning basic boat operations while lounging and gazing out on the city skyline and the bay's verdant shores. Captains may reschedule voyages in case of unsafe boating conditions such as rough winds, storms, or turf wars between rival wakeboarding clans.
Atlantic Edge Dive Center's dive-masters might technically be classified as land mammals, but they spend enough time under water to earn the honorary title of amphibian. They spend days and nights teaching and leading dives, whether they're arming curious beginners with basic skills in one of their on-site swimming pools, or conducting open water certification tests off the coast. They go beyond simply certifying students for adventure: they provide rescue diving, dive master, and instructor training as well.
Their passion for the aquatic pastime draws them to all kinds of watery outposts. They lead excursions to the Florida keys to help rehabilitate the coral reefs surrounding the islands, and dive into the relatively calm waters of the tanks in the Baltimore National Aquarium, where they have a chance to see 53 species of fish feed in the secret underwater cafeteria.

Confessions of an Evolving Baptist
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
The language of a collapsing universe is related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order."
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Speaking in parables is indeed similar to an artist's craft. They create impressions, whole new worlds of meaning intended to turn old worlds on their heads.
Classical Christian orthodoxy as expressed in the Creeds begins at the beginning: nature owes its existence to and is sustained by Jesus Christ. One implication is that the best way of finding out about nature is to look at nature.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
A combination of observation and interpretation can help us better appreciate the way the whole world speaks of the glory of its Creator, including those parts we are inclined to find supremely inglorious.

Google Nexus 4 Review: The Phone You Should Buy This Black Friday
It's probably the best smartphone on the market, period.
The Nexus 4 is the first Android phone that combines all the disparate parts of a phone--interface, options, ease of use, speed and smoothness, depth of features, quality and number of apps--in the right way. It is the best Android phone I've ever used, sure, but it's the only Android phone I've ever used that feels as intentional as the iPhone. It feels like it was put together with a vision of how this phone should work as a whole--not just "add this feature, add this feature." It's probably the best smartphone on the market, period.
What's New
It's the newest Nexus phone. The Nexus line is the ideal of Android--it's what Google wants Android to look like, without the skins and app bundles and rearranged buttons and all kinds of garbage that, left to their own devices, Samsung and HTC and Motorola and LG just can't stay away from. This particular Nexus is made by LG, a riff on the older Optimus G, with a 4.7-inch screen, a very fast quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, NFC (read more about that here and here), and wireless charging. It also has the newest version of Android, 4.2, which is mostly a refinement in terms of feel rather than a full overhaul. (This is mostly obvious in the smoothness of the OS, the speed, and lots of little touches.) But the camera has been re-done, and Google Now (this year's Innovation of the Year in our Best of What's New package) has some new features.
What's Good
Well, pretty much everything. But most important, I think, is that everything works in concert, and that everything feels right, and that's largely due to the smoothness of the operating system on this obscenely powerful hardware. The Nexus 4 is the very first Android tablet that responds to touch as well as an iPhone. It's kind of crazy it's taken that long, but it was a little shocking when I first used it--no more lag, no more trouble tracking, no more weird swipes or unexpected virtual friction. It is, at long last, correct. This is a huge step forward for Android.
The key Android features are finally ones that I think most people will use, and that are both exciting and totally unmatched on other platforms. Google Maps on Android is so far ahead of the competition it's not even fair; this isn't new, but it bears repeating, because a location app is one of the most important tools on your phone. It has offline caching, public transit, traffic, and bike directions, overlays with information from Wikipedia, turn-by-turn navigation, coupons, and the best search of any maps app (meaning, it hardly ever steers you wrong). It is outrageously good.
Google Now has gotten a little boost as well. I was very excited to name Google Now our Innovation of the Year; it's gone almost completely under the radar, compared to something like Siri, but, here's the comparison. Google Now is more innovative, more capable, and more useful--most importantly, the thing actually works. Tap on the search bar to bring up your "cards," which are little snippets of information tailored specifically to you, what you want to know right now and right here. Right now, mine is telling me the weather, subway closings for the train nearest me, that a thing I bought from Amazon is shipped and in transit to my apartment, and when I need to catch the subway to get to my next appointment. I didn't ask it to do any of that; it looked through my email to snag the tracking number from Amazon, and found weather for my location. The appointment thing is even crazier: it looked through my calendar for the appointment, routed me based on my current location (using the subway schedule), and learned that I take public transit rather than drive. Complicated! But all I see when I go to Google Now is "hey Dan, you should leave in 12 minutes to catch the C train to get to your appointment on time." That is amazing.
The app selection is finally up to par; iOS has better games and some apps will always go to iOS first, but there certainly aren't any major apps available on other platforms that aren't available here. And Android has always had an excellent selection of stuff for tinkerers--power management tools, alternate browsers and media apps, easy ways to take back your data plan by tethering or totally change the way your phone looks and behaves. But that's all expert stuff, not stuff for most people, and Android has finally gotten pretty much everything normal people would want.
I love love love the way Android 4.2 helps you get things done. It makes iOS and Windows Phone seem incredibly inefficient. Switching between apps is done by hitting one of the three permanent "soft" buttons on the screen, which presents you with a list of open apps. Tap on them to go there, or swipe it off the page to close. Same thing for the pull-down notification shade--tap to go, swipe to close. It's such a fast and intuitive way to manage everything that's going on with your phone, especially compared to iOS's tricky little notification shade, with its tiny "clear" buttons and no way to clear individual items. Oh, and the power controls are great, too--pull down the shade, tap one button in the upper right, and there's your key settings (brightness, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, battery, signal strength, and a link to the full settings). It's a really fast and clean way to change frequently adjusted settings without going into some dumb settings app.
The camera's been overhauled, too: the camera on the Nexus 4 I found to be pretty decent in low-light and very bright and colorful and detailed with good light. And the way you control it is new, too--you tap and hold your finger on the screen, and a ring of options (HDR, flash toggle, white balance, ISO) blossoms around your finger. It's super convenient and smart; I wonder why nobody's ever thought of it before. The coolest other new feature of the camera is called "Photo Sphere," which is like a hyper-panorama. You move your phone not just in a straight line in front of you, but above you as well, like you're moving it along an invisible giant hamster ball. It's great for showing your parents your new apartment.
What's Bad
The hardware is not attractive. I don't mean it's unattractive, I just mean it is not attractive. It is blah. It's a rounded black rectangle of, mostly, cheap plastic. (It is nicely thin and light, though.) The back is some kind of clear panel that has a slight glitter to it in the right light--it is, thankfully, not gaudy, but I also am not particularly enamored of it. Worse is that it's kind of slippery.
The Nexus does not have an SD slot. That wouldn't normally be a big deal, but it's only available in 8GB and 16GB models, so you might find yourself wanting some extra space.
The screen is really bright and clear and crisp, but only indoors--I found it much too reflective in direct sunlight. I've tested worse screens; the Nexus 4 isn't unreadable outside, but I'd prefer it was less reflective.
Battery life is only adequate. It'll make it through a day with light use, at most. Others have been reporting that extensive use of the camera will slaughter battery life, which is too bad, because the camera's very nice.
And it's curious that battery life is a problem, because it lacks 4G LTE, which is typically the feature that kills battery life fastest. The Verge said a modern LTE-less phone is like a "muscle car with no wheels," but I think that's an overreaction. The Nexus still supports T-Mobile's very fast HSPA+ network, and it worked fine on 3G with an AT&T SIM card. Like, yes, 4G would be good, and I am not really sure why it was left out, but not one time did I ever find myself demanding a webpage load 0.75 seconds faster. Not a dealbreaker for me, at least.
The Price
Here's something interesting: phones are typically sold subsidized, with a contract. Your $199 iPhone actually costs a whopping $700; you're just getting a deal because you've agreed to pay Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint a few thousand bucks for the next two years. But the Nexus 4 is being sold contract-free: the 8GB model costs $300, and the 16GB costs $350. That's surprisingly cheap, considering you're not locked into a contract, though you may not care about being locked into a contract. Or you can grab it for the usual $200 at T-Mobile.
The Verdict
If the Nexus 4 worked on Verizon, I'd probably drop my iPhone and grab it. That's how good this phone is. Android has never been so put-together, so thoughtful. Many of its best points are completely unmatched on any other platform--the one-two punch of Google Maps and Google Now is unbeatable. The hardware is above average--I like the inclusion of wireless charging and NFC, and it's a nice size for your pocket (unlike some phones). If you're in the market for a new phone, and looking for something on T-Mobile or AT&T, this is pretty much the tops.
Nice write up. I agree that it'd definitely be a great phone to get, if it were in fact on Verizon. unfortunately, Google & Verizon are going to be in a stalemate for quite some time. Those who are not sucked in their grasp(contracts), I also recommend jumping on this phone asap :).
Um, I hate to burst the bubble for anyone who takes the advice of this article, but you won't be picking this up on Black Friday unless you want to pay double-price on eBay.
For those who have been living under a rock for the last couple weeks, the phone sold out internationally in minutes, and is not expected to go back on sale until mid-December. Combined with shipping times (during Christmas), no one is expected to hold one in their hands until 2013 (through Google, at least... for those willing to lock in a contract to save $150, and embrace the joys of pre-installed carrier software, the situation at T-Mobile may be different).
To elaborate on what st4t3x posted. the back is made of Cornings new gorilla glass 2 and the "glitter" is a 3D design made using a LG patented process. Nothing is cheap about this phone except the price, which has been subsidised by Google otherwise the it would be at the $500 dollar mark given the hardware it has, and the fact that LG is trying to sell it at 599 euros in European countries that don't have access to the Google play store.
Nexus 4 is undoubtedly one of the, or probably the best phone overall considering the build, aesthetics, power, large super high definition screen and so on.
But more importantly it is a game changing device strategically being rolled out by Google to level the playing field. The unlocked no-contract nature with a low price for such a high end device will shake up mobile phone service in the world, except may be in US. In USA as all other things, mobile industry is controlled by the Telecom mafia. That combined with uninformed/lazy to research population will line up to buy a high end phone like S3/Note 2/iPhone 5 etc with a 2-year contract paying hundreds per month. But of course these morons will snatch the great deals hawked at them during this holiday season: $0 for the device with a contract.
People don't get it that over the two year period they will be paying thousands to the Telecom mafia.
Of course the whole mortgage crisis happened due to such stupidity: zero down, interest only mortgage with no paperwork needed to move into the mac mansion for people earning next to nothing.
The Nexus 4 appears to be a phenomenal phone, and I can't wait to get one for myself. I use Pandora for music and Netflix for movies, so I don't need a big micro-SD card. And now that I've got a truly unlimited service plan (including 4G data), this unlocked GSM phone is exactly the hardware upgrade that I need! Here's a quick 1-min video of the no-contract plan that I'm enjoying - and hope to use the Nexus 4 on soon! www.PenniesOverDollars.com
wait what?
The Nexus 4 DOES have LTE, it takes only 5mins of your life to enable it, thats all
and reading this feels like you're comparing this phone to android 2.1! 4.2 and the nexus 4 aren't that big of an improvement over the previous nexus phone (GNex), in fact the screen is an astounding 0,05" larger!!! and the design is almost identical with the GNex, well except for the backside.
Regarding the touch lag, I haven't experienced any such thing since the release of 4.1 on the Gnex
Also there are a couple of issues that could be added to the "What's bad" section, such as the bolted on battery, that isn't meant to be removed by the end user, this means also that an extended battery will probably not be available and if it is, it means voiding your warranty. The Nex4 also uses spring antenna connections, which are much more likely to fail that those that are soldered on. Since the device is made by LG and not Samsung, there is a lack of "impact zones" on the motherboard, meaning that there is a higher risk for hardware failure if the device is dropped. The phone is also held together by tape on the inside, I personally would consider a device that is taped together to be "unfinished".
oh, you also refer to the device as a "tablet" in this article

Equipment: KOHA has sets of basic protective equipment available for rent, first come - first served. Skaters must have a certified hockey helmet, skates & winter gloves or mittens. Knee and elbow protection is strongly suggested.
What your child will learn: KOHA begins with teaching skaters how to stand up and fall down. Skaters are divided into groups of about 10, with an adult volunteer assisting KOHA's program leader. Over the 8 to 10 one-hour sessions of the program, skaters will learn forward gliding and skating, backwards skating, hockey stops, left to right and right to left turns and front to back and back to front turns. Proper (efficient) skating technique is emphasized.
LEARN TO SKATE SESSION 1 (Saturdays and Sundays; Wings Stadium)
OCTOBER 19TH THROUGH NOVEMBER 17TH (Sat & Sun - 10 sessions total)
Cost: $100
LEARN TO SKATE SESSION 2 (Saturdays ONLY; 11am Wings Stadium Complex)
JANUARY 11TH - MARCH 1ST (Sat ONLY - 8 sessions total)
Cost: $80
Players must register on line with USA Hockey (Free for skaters 6 and under) prior to registering with KOHA for either Learn To Skate or Beginning Hockey.
KOHA Beginning Hockey Program is the second part of a two-part program designed to teach your child the basic skills of ICE HOCKEY. In Beginning Hockey, your child can continue to improve upon skating skills and learn hockey basics. Beginning Hockey runs from December through March.
This program generally follows the Learn to Skate Program and is recommended before entering our House League or Travel Hockey programs. Over 80 boys and girls annually participate in this program.
Why should your child participate? Skating is fun and easy; it improves balance, hand-to-eye coordination and strength. Skating compliments other sports, and is beneficial to girls and boys alike. The program is designed to allow children to develop skills and self-confidence at their own pace in an atmosphere of positive encouragement.
Recommended to be five (5) years old by December 31, 2014; younger players may participate with advanced approval by the program director.
BOTH Saturdays and Sundays. 2013/14 DATES: DECEMBER 7TH THROUGH MARCH 8TH. One 60-minute session both days. Due to the size of our program in recent years and the limited ice availability, we have to limit our program to skaters 11 and younger. Older players are recommended to join House C.
(Beginning Hockey sessions/ice times will vary according to team assignments.)
Wings Stadium Complex
Beginning Hockey:
Hockey skaters will need the following equipment by their first practice in December 2014.

Patti McGill Peterson Center for International and Intercultural Studies
I have always had a passion for history and knew that I would study it here at St. Lawrence. It wasn't until my sophomore year, however, that I found my specialization: the Middle East. After taking Dr. Eissenstat's "Introduction to the Islamic World: 600-1500," I started exploring this vast, new world. I began Arabic, and in the spring of my junior year I went abroad to Jordan. With a grant from the History Department, I stayed in Jerusalem for two weeks to do archival research in the Central Zionist Archives. I went there with the intent to discover the topic of my Honors project. There I stumbled upon the world of Amir Abdul Aziz, or Ibn Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia. While I had a compelling topic, I did not have enough information to write my senior thesis.
With guidance from my advisors and the professors in the History Department, as well as assistance from the generous Sol Feinstone International Study Prize, I spent a week in London. At the British National Archives I continued my research on Saudi Arabia and its early history. In the months before I went, I looked through the National Archives' website to get an idea of what documents I could use as well as how the archives worked. Though I'd been in archives before, each one is different in its procedures and availability. The National Archives was the most efficient and extensive archive I've ever been to, helping me to make the most of my time there.
What I found were extensive records of the renegotiation of the Treaty of Jeddah – the original treaty with Britain that established Saudi Arabia as an independent and sovereign state. It was amazing. I was holding documents that had been handwritten more than 80 years ago, documents that determined the future of a country and a people. Text books make history far removed and a thing to be scrutinized and analyzed. But what I heard wasn't the dry voice of an old man recounting the borders of the state or the lineage of the Amir. Instead, they were the voices of people – diplomats, kings, advisors – real people who had feelings, ambitions, and a sense of duty to their people. They told gossip, they made guesses; it was messy, but it was real life.
I am now in the spring semester of my senior year and at the midpoint of my Honors project. As I continue to read and reread these documents, I hope to gain a better understanding of what these people were thinking and what they were hoping to achieve. By understanding this, I can make history come alive.

No foul fowl
Question: I hope you can answer my question about cleaning birds. My friends and I went quail hunting a few weeks ago, and it took us 45 minutes to hike into the area where we hunt. We flushed a large covey of birds, shot two and then continued to hunt singles for several hours. We picked up a few more birds for the day and hiked back out.
By the time I was able to clean my birds, several hours had passed. The birds had been in my vest. Are they still safe to eat after being shot several hours before and then not cleaned right away? If not, how do you clean a bird and continue to hunt when you are so far from the truck and any ice chests? My friend says you can also freeze the birds before cleaning them, then thaw and clean them all at once. Is this safe? Can I do this with all birds such as pheasants, too?

Interested in Volunteering?
Volunteers are an important part of the National Park Service and help us fulfill our mission and goals for conservation of our nation's precious resources for generations to come. Many unique volunteer opportunities are available at Padre Island National Seashore.You can start by contacting the park's volunteer coordinator (see Contact Information below) to fill out an application. Things to Consider The current limitation on volunteers needing RV sites is that there are only four campsites. The other challenge to consider is that the majority of applicants want to be here during the same time period from December to March or April. To increase your chances of obtaining a volunteer position, consider working during the spring, summer or fall. Also be aware that our humid, salty climate can take its toll on equipment. Volunteers at our campsite are asked to provide a minimum of 32 hours of volunteer service per week. Volunteers who reside in the nearby community are especially valuable since they can assist us year-round. We ask that you commit to at least 15 hours per month in order to maintain active volunteer status. Contact Information The first step toward a rewarding volunteer career at Padre Island National Seashore is to contact Suzy Murray, Volunteer Coordinator, at email@example.com. If you are interested in volunteering with the Sea Turtle Science and Recovery Division, you can e-mail directly to firstname.lastname@example.com. To apply to become a volunteer, you will need to fill out a VIP application and an addendum to the VIP application. Upon completion, e-mail these files to email@example.com or mail it to: Volunteer Coordinator Padre Island National Seashore P.O. Box 181300 Corpus Christi, TX 78480-1300 |

I don't know about anyone else but this sounds pretty good to me.
Michael Crichton's final novel, 'Pirate Latitudes,' runs ridiculously aground
By Chad Roedemeier (CP) 3 hours ago
"Pirate Latitudes"
Michael Crichton (HarperCollins)
It's pointless to complain about the cardboard characters, dreadful action-movie dialogue and wildly improbable plot points in Michael Crichton's latest - and last - book, published posthumously.
Sure, "Pirate Latitudes" has all that, in spades, but you don't buy a Crichton book for psychological acuity and dramatic realism. It's supposed to be disposable fun, a book that sits out front in bookstores and attracts readers with the author's name printed larger than the title.
And certainly, the book manages to be entertaining, but it still reads like a cheap novelization of a movie that hasn't been made yet. It's cinematic, but only in the same way that PG-13 popcorn movies are cinematic. It's visual, it's compelling and it's confidently ridiculous.
You could sum up most of Crichton's previous best-selling titles with a word or phrase and an exclamation point: dinosaurs! ("Jurassic Park"); time travel! ("Timeline"); sexual harassment! ("Disclosure"). This one is just as straightforward: Pirates!
It's set in 1665 in Jamaica and the Caribbean islands and it concerns exactly what you would expect: high-seas adventure, a treasure galleon and a whole boatload of swashbuckling. It's only a little disappointing not to find any one walking a plank or singing a sea shanty.
No, our main character, Captain Charles Hunter may not have a parrot on his shoulder or mutter anything about his hearties, but he's certainly a pirate. He's commanding, imperious, irresistible to various lasses and wenches, and singularly determined to capture a Spanish galleon loaded down with treasure.
Crichton, who usually takes some scientific research or historical fact as a jumping-off point, probably has some solid stuff in this book about sailing, piracy and 17th-century mores. Maybe English gentlemen of the time actually used ground earthworms to keep their hair from turning white, or used powdered rabbit's head as toothpaste, or treated gout with the oil of a red-haired dog. (How does one oil a dog anyway?)
Once the main story sets sail, Crichton jumps from one spectacular adventure to another without pause, drawing a straight line from the crew's capture and escape to the theft of the treasure ship, the ensuing chase and the sea battle - followed, of course, by the requisite hurricane, then cannibals and sea monsters. Or, rather, Sea Monsters!
The rapid-fire adventure is also salted generously with sex and violence. Sailors get shot in the head, blood gushes, brains splatter. Eager maidens are disrobed and bedded down without much effort. There's a gruesome killfest extravaganza near the conclusion that neatly ties up all the loose ends. But it's action-movie sex and violence: flashy, without repercussions or remorse. These aren't people getting killed; they're just pirates.
In all, there's a lot of pirating stuffed into 320 fast-moving pages, a little bit like the frenzied doctoring that went on in Crichton's hit TV show "ER," and it's hard after a while to swallow all that dying and dramatic rescuing in such a short space. We're not looking for realism, of course, but all the nick-of-time escapes and rescues strain belief, even by the looser standards of an adventure novel.
Take the climactic scene, maybe the most ludicrous invention in the whole book. Not to give away any surprises, but it entails a bit of trickery involving a makeshift scarecrow and an enthusiastic prostitute. (Scarecrows!) Consider that for a moment, me hearties, and you'll get a sense of just how loopy a pirate's life can be.

I love that this recipe does NOT contain potato starch, tapioca starch, white rice flour and all the other refined fillers and binders many gluten-free recipes call for! Just 100% whole foods.
Is this the case with all recipes on this site? I am new and thinking this will be an amazing resource for my clients and participants in cooking classes. My next cooking class is a gluten free one, so THANKS!!
Helping people heal is an amazing path to walk!

Not sure why so many want egg replacements. Eggs have protein and are healthy, haven't tried yet but may substitute the quinoa flask with almond flour, which I lone. I think I would turn the temp down bad cook longer. Sounds like a great recipe,

I made this a couple weeks ago and it turned out horribly (partly due to something I did), but I wanted to try again so I made it again last night. This time, I grinded the dry quinoa until it was a fine flour and used that for the quinoa flour and quinoa flakes. I used egg beaters instead of eggs and I replaced half of the honey with stevia. I also added some chocolate chips for fun. This time it turned out so much better! They are super moist and fluffy. Also, because the quinoa was ground up so much, you can't even tell that they are made from quinoa flour. They look and taste just like they're made with normal white flour. Will definitely be making these again!

I made this bread last night and I have to say it was terrible. I'll never use the quinoa flour again to bake with. I just ate a piece of bread a little while ago and I have a terrible after taste in my mouth. yuk

Uncooked. Unless a recipes specifies "cooked," always use raw or uncooked. - Moderator

My grains booklet tells me if we do not rinse quinoa under running water before cooking, that it will taste bitter. Quinoa kernels have a waxy protect coating called saponin. It's this coating that gets rinsed off. For myself, I soak it in 2 or 3 changes of water, whatever I have time for, before rinsed off.
Moderator, could you please tell us if we are to use raw quinoa or cooked quinoa. Thank you, Tina

This is a very good recipe. I am using it for the 4th time. I really like the texture with the quinoa flakes, and it also works well with cranberry sauce instead of bananas. I think 400 degrees is too high for this heavy a bread. 350 degrees for 1 hour makes a beautiful loaf.

I tried this bread. It did take longer that directions said to bake - like 30 minutes. It looked beautiful when I cut into it and tasted good at first, but it had a very bitter aftertaste. Why is that. I follow the directions exactly (except for the baking time).

Followed the recipe, but it began to burn on the outside and was not cooked on the inside. Epic fail.

I'm not sure what is meant by "egg replacer" and what that sort of item contains, who manufactures it, where to get it, etc. Overall, I think whole eggs are pretty healthy eating, but when I need to limit the fat from the yolk, I use egg white protein (the straight stuff) which I get online from a couple of reputable sources, in bulk at a great savings. I'm thinking that approach to eliminating the whole eggs might work for solving the above problems. What do you think? The amount could be easily adjusted: 1 small scoop equals about 30 grams of protein, and it's all egg white and only that.

Since eggs only have several functions (adding fat, leavening, protein, moisture or binding) it's easy to figure out which one will be the best. First look at the substitutes for eggs. They are (for this recipe) silken tofu, egg replacer and applesauce. Silken tofu adds protein and texture (not something that we need for this recipe since it calls for quinoa, which already has a significant amount of protein). Egg replacer provides leavening, which is normally fantastic for baked goods but we already have baking powder and baking soda so we don't need it here (However, if the breads are coming out too moist, this would be a good substitute since it doesn't provide much extra moisture). That leaves us with applesauce which provides us with moisture (something we don't need because we have the bananas, BUT the pectin from the apples will provide the binding that we need for the bread to set. In order to avoid the bread being too sweet try using an applesauce that has no added sugar. TLDR: try applesauce

Regarding flax gel substitute for eggs: flax does have a distinct flavor that is magnified by the flavor of bananas. It might not be the best choice of replacer for eggs in this recipe. I think silken tofu or unsweetened applesauce plus 1 teaspoon additional baking powder might be better.

You can grind quinoa flakes in the food processor to make quinoa flour. Otherwise, you could substitute sorghum, amaranth, or chickpea flour. Happy Baking, Beth Hillson, Food Editor, Living Without

I found the quinoa flakes but not the flour, is there another flour substitute that would taste good with this recipe?

I agree with Jude's comment -- I followed the instructions for the egg-less flax gel substitute version and it was pretty awful. I wasn't bothered by the texture, but the aftertaste was really unpleasant and I ended up eating only a few slices and throwing the rest away. It made me wonder if anyone had tested this recipe with the suggested egg substitution. I otherwise really like the flavor of quinoa flour and flakes in baked goods.

I made this bread. I thought it was very good. The quinoa definitely gives it a different flavor, but not an unpleasant one. My bread came out looking like the picture. I modified it slightly by adding some GF vanilla extract and a bit of cinnamon. I will make it again. I also like that it is low in calories yet very moist. I've found most GF recipes for some reason are extremely high in calories and fat. I really wish they'd start making them more healthful. Just because I'm eating GF doesn't mean I want to gain 30 lbs.

I made this bread, but substituted flax meal for the egg. My loaf looked NOTHING like the picture. The taste was "unfavourable" to say the least. It was dense, and had an unpleasant taste, and aftertaste. My daughter will eat it, as she is desperate, however I will not be adding this one to my recipe collection. I'm having trouble finding "healthy" baking that actually tastes good, and has a texture that isn't "gummy". Any suggestions - my daughter is gluten, dairy, and egg free.

Use "raw" flakes...just like you'd use "raw oatmeal" in an oatmeal cookie recipe. Unless it says "cooked" - which this doesn't. Enjoy!

I have found banana breads to be kind of finicky to fool with--they get gummy pretty easily...this probably relies on eggs for structure. If I were using any kind of replacement I'd try flax gel (see website substitutions page if you aren't familiar with it) or maybe silken tofu, or even applesauce.

(IT) TREBANTIQUA 2013 (20 Jul-17 Aug 2013)
The fascinating historical village of Trevi nel Lazio (Italy, Latium) will host the second edition of Trebantiqua, international early music festival, from July 20 to August 17. A series of 6 concerts with internationally acclaimed artists will be offered at both the Collegiate Curch of St. Maria Assunta, with the celebrated 1634 Bonifazi organ, and at the main hall of the Caetani Castle under the artistic direction of Giuseppe Schinaia.
Trevi nel Lazio offers several tourist and art attractions all year round, but it is in the summer that it shows its most appealing side with a cooler climate in the luscious setting of the river Aniene's high valley, the various art events at the Caetani Castle, its narrow medieval streets of its tiny center and the other many points of interest of its territory.
Trebantiqua this year provides the usual variety of concert programs, ranging from late renaissance to the mature baroque style of the XVIII century, with a large offer of instrument sounds, from flutes to violins, harp and natural trumpet, with a special attention to the majestic historical Bonifazi organ built in 1634. A special program is dedicated to women composers on August 4.

I... guess the last one I saw is Inception, which was a 10/10 easily... although that would mean I haven't watched a movie in several weeks. That's unusual. I guess what little free time I have nowadays is spent gaming.
The last movie I saw was Salt. It was pretty confusing for me to tell which side Salt was on, but the action made up for it. I'll rate it 4.5/5 stars.
The last one I saw was The Karate Kid, with a 9/10.
Does it have to be theater/

It kept me laughing a lot and I loved the spider pig/Harry Plopper
Death at a Funeral (the original British one)
Omigosh! Best comedy film EVAR! You can't list all of the good things about it... It'd be easier to list the things bad about it! Despite that massive amount of gay jokes, they were all tasteful (yes, there is such a thing as a tasteful gay joke), believe it or not. And by the way... on this site EV'RYTHIN'S SO FUCKIN' GREEN!

Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors
Watching Larry pre-'The Matrix' is a treat in itself, but the concept of a team of teenagers with dream induced powers taking the fight to the main protaganist,Freddy Kruger, is what gets the blood going for me. As much as I enjoy horror films for what they are often, fear of the unknown, it's enjoyable to see characters not laying around for the main horror to overcome them in some way. The acting though, couldn't sound any hammier unless the traveling ham salesman knocked on your door. Three Tasty Zebra Cakes.
I saw Cats and Dogs 2: Revenge of Kitty Galore last night. I give it a 5/5 for it having the right balance of comedy and action.
I saw The Breakfast Club last night. Eh. I found it to be average for the most part. Three things though.
I can't remember the names of people...
I don't understand why it's called "The Breakfast Club."

The good: The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G has a sleek, attractive design with a gorgeous display, tactile controls, and an easy-to-use, customizable interface. Stereo Bluetooth and Outlook e-mail syncing are standard features, and call and data performance are excellent.
The bad: The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G lacks important features like a standard 3.5-millimeter headset jack, a file manager, and camera-editing options. Video quality is uneven, and the HTML browser interface and virtual keyboard have their flaws. Also, it doesn't support Outlook calendar and contacts syncing.
The bottom line: With the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G, the Google Android OS gets a much-needed boost. A few complaints remain, and some users may bemoan the lack of a physical keyboard, but we approve of its eye-catching design and interface, improved features, and satisfying performance.

Converted from BlackBerry and Love it!
by CindyYZ on August 8, 2009
Pros: Screen resolution, Android, Call Quality, Personalization, Design, 3g, WiFi.
Cons: No direct outlook contact and calendar activesync, but Google-Outlook Calendar sync was a breeze to set up. Bluetooth capabilities terrible, no flash on camera.
Summary: I was a die-hard crackberry fan and faithfully used my curve for 2+ years, but I show the MyTouch and fell in love. Going through the BES server for work ...
Summary: I was a die-hard crackberry fan and faithfully used my curve for 2+ years, but I show the MyTouch and fell in love. Going through the BES server for work email, calendar, and contacts is rock solid and I was nervous on how it will work on the MyTouch. It took my IT Manager less than a minute to get my work email setup. Yes, there is no direct ActiveSync integration for calendar and contacts, but I downloaded the Google Calendar-Outlook Sync and it works great! Contacts are a little more tricky, had to export a .csv file then import it into my gmail contacts. The phone itself has a gorgeous screen resolution/display and I love all the personalization options. I was able to use my old microSD card from the BB and once inserted, all of my ringtones, music and pictures transferred with no issues. I'm still trying to get used to the touchscreen keyboard, but the response rate is good. Love the trackball, which isn't available on the iphone, and it makes navigating through webpages a breeze. The amount of apps on the android market is impressive and I've downloaded some nifty widges already. One of the downsides for me is their convoluted bluetooth process. I was able to pair my motorola headset easily, but unlike the blackberry, you have to dial the keypad then hit menu and the bluetooth button each time you make a call. I used to just be able to press the button on my headset and it would launch the BB voice command dial. I called tmobile about this and unfortunately, there's no voicedial-bluetooth integration on the MyTouch. Bottom line: I took off 1/2 star for some of the drawbacks, but I'm a fan of the MyTouch!

Summary: I loved the iphone but after 3 years and no real innovative change in design or OS the thrill just died off and i wanted the newest and best phone so i moved to the palm pre and it was okay but i didnt understand all of the hype. Sprint kills any chance of a phone to be favorable by not supporting it and it failed with this phone again by only have 40 apps in the app store (no support) but it had a great web OS and it multi tasked. So i switched carriers again and went to the mytouch and i am more than pleased i no longer feel regret for leaving the iphone. The applications are of a higher quality than that of the iphone and they dont plague the store with thousands of crappy freeware like the app store for iphone does. I also pay 58 dollars a month for 600 any time min and unlimited data and messaging and the myfaves plan. I was paying 125 with ATT and 104 with sprint. I am more than happy with this phone and i recommend this phone to anyone looking for a phone that pleases. I know tmobile sucks when it comes to coverage areas in some areas but where i live it is awesome . Save your money and get the mytouch and if anyone thinks i am bluffing i can answer any question about the iphone or pre or the mytouch 3g and that is because i have owned them all and this is the best.

Blackberry to Treo to Storm to this... Outstanding!
by ashtona74 on September 1, 2009
Pros: Screen resolution, application organization, on screen keyboard actualy well designed. Fantastic call quality, seamless e-mail, Google Talk, Android Market.
Cons: Nothing worth noting as a con just yet.

Summary: I have been through them all. I have been a loyal subscriber of Verizon for over 9 years and I never even thought of leaving. I have had Treo's, Blackberry's, flip phones, you name it, I have owned it and none, not a single one did what I wanted it to do. One usually did one thing well and the rest poorly, which left me in search of a decent phone.
So after 6 months of use, I do want to add some cons. Still, this device is amazing. However, I am experiencing severe lag with this device. I have even done a factory reset to clear all apps and pics hanging around out of memory. Still, the device has moderate to severe response issues at times. For instance, I have on several occasions been in a text and typed a full message only to see it popping up 2 or 3 characters at a time. Since my fiancee is a T-Mobile employee, I have had them check the device out and it is still in flawless condition. No drops, damage or anything of that sort. I wouldn't knock it down a star for this because I know the Android team are constantly making imrpovements. But I think this should be a top priority.
My fiancee got a myTouch as she is a T-mobile employee and after seeing it in action, I was hooked. It did everything I needed amazingly well. Texting using SMS or Google Talk is smooth and easy, Gmail is flawless and I now even have my Comcast account forwarding directly to my Gmail account. Internet browsing is fast and the web pages render amazingly well as opposed to the Storm which was terrible.
I have had the phone for 5 days and find it difficult to stay away from the Android Market. There is always something I want to download an try out.
Nice touch with the notifications. Now if I am in an app, I can see the texts roll in without having to close the app. Especially handy for when someone is just saying "K" or "ttyl" which drives me nuts, even moreso when I had to close an app just to read that. Now that is solved.

better than the iPhone
by leppyaxp on August 17, 2009

Summary: My gf has the iphone and i held out as long as possible until my blackberry died. I didn't want an iphone b/c it is just not that user friendly. Mytouch allows you to personalize almost every program. Long press and menu gives you options to do everything with only a few clicks. Typing is easier than iphone due to the phone being a tad bit thicker but smaller. Its super sleek design. Music player is great, along w/ picture gallery and videos. Def helps if you have a gmail account as it syncs right away. All this talk about flash, but seriously, if you're in a situation where you need a flash like at a birthday party, bring a 10 mpixel camera why would you use your phone. As a user of blackberry, my gf's iPhone and now my very own mytouch, i was blown away and very impressed. I'll leave the iPhone to the older generation I see on the train using them b/c they just dont know any better.

No Outlook Calendar is a deal breaker.

Summary: I have simple bare minimums: Decent call quality (doesnt have to be perfect), speakerphone, syncing to my Outlook Calendar so i dont have to use my Palm Pilot, a good MP3 Player so i dont have to have a different device for the gym, easy to fit in my pants pocket, at least average battery life so it can get through a day with tinkling of a few of the settings, a easy to navigate browser, ability to plug in my own earbuds without an adapter that protrudes out of the phone, and a camera for emergencies. So far the only phone that meets all of these are the iPhone except that even that annoys me because it doesnt have a flash for the night. If this phone ever supports Outlook Calendar, it would be the almost perfect alternative to the iPhone minus the annoying jack issue. Why is it so hard for a company to let us use our own jacks? Regardless, the phone has a l lot of strong points, especially call quality.

BEST PHONE EVER! This is an amazing device

Pros: The sleek look is easy to carry . The speed is perfect for any generation going from a 13 year old to a 130 year old. With theses apps you can get your moneys worth by day one of your purchase. I recomend it to anyone who is thinking to buy it.
Cons: NONE what so ever
Summary: This is one of those phones where you enjoy having for 3 or 4 years and still wont be out of style.

Great Phone!!

Cons: doesn't support WMA music files, once you put a shortcut on one of your 3 home screens you can't remove it without removing the entire program from the phone. Battery life is bad, bad, bad if you surf the internet alot.

Summary: I absolutely love this phone!!!! I have the Fender Special Edition and it has the 3.5" headphone jack that the regular one lacks. Browsing the internet is great on this phone if you use the Dolphin browser available free from the market. Everything that this phone lacks in the software dept. is available on the market, most of it for free. I've had a Iphone and while its not quite as good as an Iphone, its really close and I actually like it better. the only thing better with the Iphone is the available apps and games you can download, but android market is getting there slowly but surly. All in all I would highly recommend this phone especially since the price has gone down to $149.00 for the regular version and $169.00 for the Fender special edition. I would get the Fender just because it has a 3.5" headphone jack and it ships with a 16GB micro SD card already installed

Not the greatest phone ever, but the best one I've had
by EliotR on January 14, 2010
Pros: Quick 3G connection; clear call quality; multitude of Android apps available; satisfying OS performance; easy to use nature; Android's widget based home screen
Cons: Some occasional sluggishness; poor low-light camera; no 3.5mm headphone jack.

Summary: Unlike some, I don't like to review a product until I've used it for a while. During this time, however, Google launched the Nexus One which changes things a little bit for the myTouch 3G.
Instead of nickle-and-diming every feature of the phone, let me just say that this phone is very, very satisfying to use. It isn't going to blaze the doors off of other phones with its performance or litany of features. Instead, this phone has been what I always wanted out of a phone: it works, consistently.
I never have any problems with web browsing and multitasking. I don't need to reset my phone every night or after I use certain apps like I did with my past Windows Mobile phone. Instead, it runs reliably and does everything I've ever asked it do. I've yet to find an app that didn't perform well on the device. Now, I'm sure there are 3D games that will give it the gitters and its video player isn't a fan of high-bitrate SD video. But I don't need or want that from my phone (that's what my Zune HD is for).
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to buy this phone is pretty simple. Either you can qualify for the 179 Nexus One price, or you can't. If you can, there is absolutely zero reason to buy this phone. However, if you are stuck decided whether or not to throw 530 bucks at the Nexus One, just don't do it. I was talking to a friend about the Nexus One and saying how I would have liked the phone. But then my friend asked, "So what can the Nexus One do that your phone can't?" And the answer is not that much. T-Mobile will update the OS to 2.1 and nearly all the features the Nexus One has, the myTouch will have. It just won't be able to fly through high-res games and video.
Am I disappointed to not have a Nexus One? No, not really. And that really says it all. The myTouch won't dazzle you with any over-the-top, extraordinary features but it's so satisfying at everything it does do, it just doesn't matter.
One last note... only other decision you could make is to go with the QWERTY keyboard equipped Moto Cliq. Personally, I wouldn't go that route. I used to have an HTC Touch Pro, so I know the apprehension in giving up a physical keyboard. But after a couple days of acclimation, I have no problem typing on the phone (if not faster than before since tapping a screen requires less effort than pushing a small, stiff button). Since the myTouch is a remarkably compact and light device, the sacrifice with a big, clunky phone doesn't seem worth it to gain an unnecessary keyboard. Just my opinion, though...2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.
This is my first non-windows mobile phone. Way better!
by jparsons1984 on September 2, 2009
Pros: I am able to add applications to my phone that allow for a vast variety of function, which changing over from windows mobile has been a new adventure for me. I am enjoying the touch interface instead of constant scrolling and screen resizing.
Cons: If the battery could last for multiple days without needing to be charged. But it seems that most phones these days struggle with battery life. We will just have to wait for wireless phone charging I guess.

Summary: After dealing with horrible customer service from AT&T and then getting the Gestapo treatment from Apple (remember kids, they know better than you, what you really want), I decided to jump ship. I dumped both AT&T and Apple and moved to T-Mobile and the new Android phone.
The design is great. The trackball is very useful, along with the home, back, and search buttons. The touch screen works wonderfully and the feedback vibrations you get from the keyboard are great! Customizing the phone is nice and being able to add folders and move your icons and widgets anywhere on the desktop is awesome.
While the keyboard isn't as good as the iPhone, I really have no complaints. The web browser is fast but is definitely behind Safari in functionality. I can honestly say that I don't miss my iPhone or AT&T one bit!2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

text: A lot of research before buying into how the iPads work and just what they will work with and won't work with is helpful. If one thinks an iPad is going to be just like a computer, it's not. There is many things an iPad can do and do very well, but there are some things it just will not do in really replacing your computer. Making a trip to your local Apple store if you can, and getting some real first hand information is my advice.

Meet Cindy Ferguson
Making Memories is full of talented design team members. Cindy is no exception. She is a papercutting genius. I was so impressed when I saw her work so I thought it would be fun to post it on the Making Memories' blog.
Her love for papercutting began when she saw some papercutting art at her grandparent's farm in Germany. She gave it a try and has been doing it since.
Cindy gets her inspiration from books and stories that she reads. These stories help her to visualize the project in her mind. Then Cindy sketches them in her notebook or on the back of origami paper before she begins. She cuts with a craft knife and a self-healing mat. She does not use a glass mat because it is too slippery for her delicate cutting.
Her artwork takes anywhere from two hours to three days. Cindy's tip for anyone who is interested in trying this is to have LOTS of sharp blades. She goes through 3-5 blades for an 8 1/2 x 11" project.
Cindy started this in September of 1996 and created a blog to showcase her work. Check out her blog to see more of her work.
Cindy works on the product design team at Making Memories. She has been working on new lines that will be released this fall.

Inquiry in Guinea
The U.N. set up an international inquiry into a bloody crackdown on protesters in Guinea last month. Gunmen used live rounds against anti-government protesters on Sept. 28 in a stadium in Guinea's capital Conakry. The violence killed 157 people and wounded more than a thousand, according to a local rights group. Tensions after the violence have led France to advise its citizens to leave the West African country and the United States to withdraw diplomats' families.

Diabetes - foot care - self-care
Diabetes can damage the nerves and blood vessels in your feet. This damage can cause numbness and reduce feeling in your feet. As a result, your feet may not heal well if they are injured. If you get a blister, you may not notice, and it may get worse.
Check your feet every day. Inspect the top, sides, soles, heels, and between the toes. Look for:
If you cannot see well, ask someone else to check your feet.
Call your doctor right way about any foot problems. Do not try to treat them yourself first. Even small sores or blisters can become big problems if infection develops or they do not heal.
Wash your feet every day with lukewarm water and mild soap. Strong soaps may damage the skin.
Ask your health care provider to show you how to trim your toenails.
Most people with diabetes should have corns or calluses treated by a foot doctor. If your doctor has given you permission to treat corns or calluses on your own:
If you smoke, stop. Smoking decreases blood flow to your feet. Talk with your doctor or nurse if you need help quitting.
Do not use a heating pad or hot water bottle on your feet. Do not walk barefoot, especially on hot pavement or hot sandy beaches. Remove your shoes and socks during visits to your health care provider so that they can check your feet.
Wear shoes at all times to protect your feet from injury. Before you put them on, always check the inside of your shoes for stones, nails, or rough areas that may hurt your feet.
Wear shoes that are comfortable and fit well when you buy them. Never buy shoes that are tight, hoping they will stretch as you wear them. You may not feel pressure from shoes that do not fit well. Blisters and sores can develop when your foot presses against your shoe.
Ask your doctor about special shoes that can give your feet more room. When you get new shoes, break them in slowly. Wear them 1 or 2 hours a day for the first 1 or 2 weeks.
Change your broken-in shoes after 5 hours during the day to change the pressure points on your feet. Do not wear flip-flop sandals or stockings with seams. Both can cause pressure points.
Wear clean, dry socks or non-binding panty hose every day. They will help protect your feet. Holes in socks or stockings can put damaging pressure on your toes.
You may want special socks with extra padding. Socks that move moisture away from your feet will keep your feet drier. In cold weather, wear warm socks, and do not stay out in the cold for very long. Wear clean, dry socks to bed if your feet are cold.
