My mother always told me that you should never hate anything or anyone. Then she would whisper to herself "except laundry and Shirley down the street." I was never sure of why she hated Shirley, but the laundry made perfect sense. I was the oldest of 14 kids – my mom had plenty of reasons to hate laundry.
Now that I'm older, and a mother of one, laundry still isn't my favorite thing. So, I did some research to find out how often I really needed to wash my stuff. I discovered that I was hurting the majority of my clothes and wasting money by washing them after every use.
The amount of laundry detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets I use could all be cut in half if I would wash my clothes less often. Not to mention my utility bills are bound to drop if I start washing certain things only once a week. On top of that, my clothes were getting ruined by my constant washing and drying, so I could make them last even longer.
So here are some guidelines on how often you should really wash your clothes:
Jeans can be expensive, so you definitely want to make them last as long as possible. As a rule of thumb, wash your jeans after you've worn them three to four times, unless you've gotten them noticeably dirty, and always let them air dry. That means if you're baby's diaper just gave out all over your pants, you should wash them. But, if you wear them to the grocery store or just around the house, you've got a few more rounds to go. For more info on your jeans, check here.
Dress Pants/Khakis don't need to be washed but every four to five times, especially if you only wore them to work. Also, all of your dress clothes should be washed with their matching pieces. For example, if you wore your dress pants to work, but not the matching jacket, have them cleaned together so they won't fade as much.
Skirts can go several wears without being washed, especially fuller skirts that don't touch much of your body. Tight fitting skirts or pencil skirts should be washed every other wear. If that seems confusing, here's an article that breaks similar clothes down into different categories to help you remember.
Bras, underwear, and socks are different. Bras should be washed every other wear because they don't come in direct contact with your underarms. However, I wash mine after every use unless I only had it on for a very short period of time. Another tip is to wash your bras in a gallon sized bucket to keep them from getting tattered or torn in the washing and drying machine. If you don't have the time for that, buy one of those bra holders in the laundry section at Walmart. They work just as well and keep your bras safe. Obviously, underwear and socks should be washed after every use.
Pajamas should be washed twice as often as you wash your sheets. You might not think they get dirty because you're just sleeping in them, but actually, you shed your skin cells in your pajamas, so they need to get washed often.
Blouses and dresses can last longer than any other item. As long as they don't have any stains or odors, you can keep wearing them over and over.
Tank tops and T-shirts should be treated like bras and underwear because they come in direct contact with your body. Therefore, they should be washed at least after every other wear, if not more.
Bed sheets and pillowcases may seem clean, but they should be washed at least once a week. Like pajamas, you sweat in your sheets and your skin cells come off on them. Not to mention all the dust and dander that can get into your bed. For other bedroom items like comforters and bed skirts you can find some great info here.
Towels should be washed after every other use. While you are drying off a "clean" body, all those dead skin cells and soap scum are coming off on your towel, too. Don't wait until they stink; wash them. An additional tip is to wash in hot water unless noted differently on the towel. In addition, using detergent, fabric softener, and dryer sheets don't help. You should wash your towels in vinegar or water alone. Want to know a cool fact? If your towels stink, it's not always because you haven't been washing them as often as you should. It's usually because you're using too much detergent and the soap builds up on them. Using vinegar will give them some of their absorbency back as well as keep that musty smell away. You can find a recipe here.
Remember, these are just suggestions to help make your clothes last longer and to get even more money out of all that dirt cheap laundry detergent you get as a Krazy Coupon Lady. While these tips are semi-specific, use them as guidelines. Only you know how dirty your clothes really are, so if you feel like they need to be washed, go ahead and wash them.

I LOVE this! Which one of you was the oldest of 14? BTW: I'm not so good about those sheets. It's easy to take them off, but it's a battle to get them back on those b-i-g mattresses when a padded mattress cover is involved.
lol…my family LOVES clean clothes. I grew up without a dryer. We washed our clothes (some on a washboard) and hung dry everything. A few years ago when my elderly parents decided to get a new washing machine and their first dryer, I found out that they put the clothes to wash through EVERY cycle! I wondered why it took so long for 2 loads of laundry the whole day to complete. lol I laughed so hard when I figured out they put it through every single cycle.
Yes. Absolutely this. I've also discovered that if I make my own powdered laundry detergent (1 bar ivory soap, grated, 2 cups borax, 2 cups washing soda (not baking soda)) then my clothes come out feeling cleaner and they smell like fresh line-dryed laundry because they don't smell of artificial fragrance. In a year, I've gone through 2 $5 boxes of borax (and I use borax for cleaning sinks and tubs and other things, as well) for a household of two humans, a great dane and three cats. I haven't used an entire box of washing soda yet and I think I've used two or three bars of ivory. If you've got a really greasy stain, just rub a little dish soap into it. Artificial fragrance+sweat=STINK.
This sounds like something I would like to try, Tay. How do you grate your Ivory bar soap and what is Washing Soda?
I just recently stepped back from washing clothes as often as I was (we have six and they often use the laundry as the way to clean their room! ugh!) to save money and be a better steward (water).
Will tweak the list, but it's handy! THanks!
(do you want a large family? from having 13 siblings to only 1 child make me very curious? If you do want more and haven't been able to, I'll pray (I know that sounds cheesy, but I really will)
Not at all cheesy. Prayer works and God listens.
Yes He does! Everytime! Many answered prayers and miracles for our family! Love the Lord!
Here is another tip too! Save money when you dry your clothes by throwing in a large fluffly dry towel and cut down on half the drying time! It really works! God bless you! Lisa
I've made a habit of wearing to work on Monday the outfit that I wore to church on Sunday. If you have a steam fresh cycle on your washer, you can pop your clothes in there to help them snap back into shape and give them a slight cleaning.
Also, cardigans…those don't come into contact with your body much and they can go a few wears before washing.
However, I don't wear anything 3-4 times. I feel like things really lose its shape after two wearings and needs to be restored with a good washing.
Another tip for helping your clothes last longer is not to dry them. I hang dry pretty much all of my clothes because the heat of the dryer breaks down the fibers faster
Apparently the mother of the author hated birth control, too. But the tip about the towels is a new one to me, very interesting. May have to try that.
Apparently..you have learned much about etiquette and manners in your life so far..the comment about the author's mother is uncalled for and totally off topic..and actually downright rude.
It's not off topic, it was at the beginning of the article so I made an observation about it. Sorry you think it's rude.
I don't think this mother hated birth control but maybe just loved children and life in general.
I sweat alot so I have to wash all my clothes after I wear them. I do wear my jeans at least twice if they don't get stains but nothing else. Wish I could alot of items more than once.
I was already following many of these suggestions after my family doctor recommended we stop trying to be so germ-a-phobic. In general, many people are so uptight about it, but really are cleaner than they believe. He taught me to remind myself that "a little dirt won't hurt". However, having twin 3-year-old boys means what I don't wash of my own clothing, I make up for in theirs!
Interesting article, but I doubt I could follow these suggestions. This just sounds filthy to let clothes go 2, 3, or even 4 wearings without a wash! Wash my pajamas only twice a week!? Yuk!
Pajamas hahaha yeah yuk especially if you have night sweats/hot flashes..lol

Move to make farming practices green and greener
Environmentalists would like Minnesota farmers to plant more cover crops that enrich the soil as alternatives to corn and soy beans. Farmers want to run profitable operations. State funding is being proposed for the University of Minnesota to make those two aims compatible rather than mutually exclusive.
Rep. David Bly (DFL-Northfield) sponsors HF2619, which would appropriate nearly $1.4 million from the General Fund for the university's Forever Green Agriculture Initiative.
The House Agriculture Policy Committee on Thursday approved the bill and referred it to the House Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Finance Committee.
For most of the year, Minnesota's 27 million acres of farmland lacks plants with active roots in the soil, except during the summer growing season, according to slides presented to the committee by Donald Wyse, a University of Minnesota agriculture professor. Water quality is affected because nitrogen runs off into surface water without enough plants to absorb it, Wyse said. On the economic side, farmers incur large expense applying nitrogen to their fields.
"How do we reduce that [runoff of nitrogen]?" Wyse said. "And how do we reduce that in a way that contributes to the efficiency of agriculture and increases the profitability?"
The Forever Green Initiative is working on several types of perennials and winter-annuals like field pennycress and winter barley that could be commercially successful for farmers.
Wyse said the projects at the institute are "designed to develop new enterprises. Those ecosystem services, water quality enhancement with an economic pull so farmers have a reason to plant them on the landscape."
A companion, SF2304, sponsored by Sen. Kevin Dahle (DFL-Northfield), has been laid over for possible inclusion in an omnibus bill by the Senate Environment, Economic Development and Agriculture Division.

Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Troy Brown, Deion Branch; needless to say, Tom Brady has worked with some talented receivers in his career. Some, as is the case with Welker, Brady trained himself, working with his receivers until they progressed from mediocrity to stardom. Now, 36 years old and having lost Welker to free agency and Rob Gronkowski to injury, Brady has been handed an entirely new cast of catchers, and after an entire preseason and training camp to work, we'll see if they can repeat the old Patriots magic today at 1:00 in Buffalo.
Danny Almendola is set to slot in as the number one receiver, replacing Welker, who left to free agency. He is by far the most talented receiver on the team, but, injury is a constant concern. The 27 year old former Texas Tech standout has only managed to start 9 games over the past two years, but has been phenomenal in that short span, managing 674 yards from scrimmage and 3 TDs in just half a season last year. Against a weak Bills secondary, Almendola has a chance to put up Welker-esque numbers, with 10+ catches and 120+ yards.
Julian Edelman is one of the only returning players from 2012′s Patriots receiving core, but this will be his first year in a premier role. After years of being the football version of a utility man, receiving, returning punts, and even appearing on defense, Edelman will be handed the job of no. 2 receiver in 2013. He's certainly athletic, with a chance for big plays and deep yardage against the Bills, but like Almendola, staying healthy will remain key; Edelman has missed 14 of 64 possible games over his short, four year career.
The wild card on this team is undrafted free agent, Kenbrell Thompkins. After being passed on by every team in the draft, and signing for just $2,500 guaranteed, the 25 year old receiver broke out in the preseason. After grabbing 4 catches for 23 yards in the preseason opener against the Eagles, Thompkins led the team with 8 receptions and 116 yards in game three against the Lions. Tall, fast, athletic, with excellent route running and one-on-one skills, Thompkins was only passed on in the draft due to a troubled, jail-riddled past. Bellicheck and Brady, as seen with Randy Moss, have a history of ignoring arrest records when the talent is ripe, and Thompkins just might join the ranks of Brady's limitless receivers.
With the news that tight end Rob Gronkowski is hurt and won't even make the trip to buffalo, and with Aaron Hernandez obviously in prison, no name Michael Hoomanawanui has found himself as the Patriots number 1 tight end. Just 25, Hoomanawanui has historically been a blocking tight end, receiving for only 109 yards over six starts last season for the Patriots. The loss of Gronk signals the end of the Patriot's tight end heavy offense as they will likely rely on their receivers to outmatch the Bills porous secondary, but Hoomanawanui may still get some shots to prove himself as a receiver. He did manage to catch three TD passes for St. Louis in his rookie year, and he'll look to channel that ability today against the Bills.

Many churches across the Santa Clarita Valley make their homes in rented spaces belonging to businesses, often setting up and taking down adornments within a few hours on Sunday mornings. The Santa Clarita Center for Spiritual Living was one of those churches, until its move in September 2012.

On Dec. 21 a small group, based out of the St. Kateri Tekakwitha Catholic Church on Copper Hill, hosted a Christmas Ball. The second annual ball was a formal event sponsored by the Young Beloved group.
With only a few days left until Christmas, much of the Santa Clarita Valley hurries around finishing last-minute shopping. Last weekend, instead of rushing around malls or checking gifts off Christmas lists, nearly 3,000 people attended the fifth annual Christmas production at the Valencia stake Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on McBean Parkway.

As Hanukkah comes to a close tonight, the eighth and final night of the holiday, local synagogues use dreidels, menorahs and latkes to observe the festivities. In the midst of traditions that play an important role in the observances of Hanukkah, many Jews will also turn to music.
For the past seven years, Faith Community Church volunteers have come together to host an annual event known as "Festividad for Christ," an outreach event benefiting the surrounding community of Newhall.

Hanukkah, known as the Jewish festival of lights, is commonly known as a time to remember the ancient struggle for religious freedom and a time of community outreach.
With the Thanksgiving holiday now over, Santa Clarita Valley residents began preparing for the Christmas holiday. Several local churches started preparing months ago as they began planning and rehearsing for Christmas concerts.

Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger was born in Bamburg, Germany, in 1958. The son of a highly decorated Nazi officer spoke about his life of family, secrets, curiosity and eventual conversion to Judaism to attendees of the Ghosts of the Third Reich lecture at Chabad of SCV on Oct. 21.

The Village Church hosted the first Project J: Rocktoberfest, a festival attended by nearly 500 local residents and teens Sunday.
Ivan Del Cid was a victim of a violent crime and was shot in the back five times. He lost the use of his legs and was confined to a wheelchair. He became depressed and saddened by his prognosis, until he began to attend Vida Real.
Last month parishioners of Our Lady of Perpetual Help welcomed a new senior pastor to lead the congregation.
Next Sunday, more than 2,000 children and their parents will flock to Iglesia Vida Real to receive backpacks and school supplies in preparation for the start of the school year.
Fireworks and barbecues are all part of traditions for the Fourth of July holiday in Santa Clarita. Churches around the valley decided the holiday could be more than that for churchgoers and community members alike.
This summer thousands of children will laugh, dance, throw water balloons, make crafts and sing, all while learning about God's love for them.

HILLSBOROUGH: Inquests told how 96 victims identified through thousands of photographs and videos
Updated 3:21pm Tuesday 20th May 2014 in News
THE detective overseeing the criminal investigation into the events that led to the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans in the Hillsborough disaster has told a jury of the painstaking work investigators have carried out to identify victims.
The new inquest into Britain's worst sporting disaster began on March 31 and resumed today, Tuesday, after a three week adjournment to allow legal teams to examine pathology evidence.
Proceedings began with evidence from Detective Superintendent Neil Malkin, senior investigation manager for Operation Resolve – the criminal investigation into the events on April 15, 1989 and the planning and preparation beforehand.
The court heard how the 191 officers working for Operation Resolve have search through 2,000 videos and 7,000 photographs to identify victims. This includes extensive footage from the BBC.
DS Malkin also said his team has looked at 500,000 documents and it has been "extremely beneficial" to speak to 1,500 people, including the families of those killed.
Friday will see the jury visit the Hillsborough stadium before the topic of stadium safety becomes the key focus for about a month.
The original verdicts of accidental death in 1991 were quashed in the High Court in 2012 after a long campaign by the Hillsborough families.
The fresh inquests are taking place at Birchwood Park in Warrington and are being heard by Court of Appeal judge Lord Justice Goldring, who has been made an assistant coroner for the purpose.

Are there some frontend/skeleton-like html templates with a nice web2 flavor ready to be used with python/django?
I know it could be any html and probably nothing specifically for python/django, but my question is, maybe the python/django community is using something in contrib already available in this sense ... something to have a nice output in terms of html/css, for example similar to the nice html/css output of Databrowse contrib module. (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/databrowse/)
Another example in this sense: many are using sphinx for documentation, that is giving a "common and nice" look and feel to the frontend compared with raw html. So, something like that but not for docs, for data :)
I hope the question is clear, thanks in advance.

Not content with only the S-Class receiving the Maybach treatment for a potential shout-out in Lorde's next jam, Mercedes-Benz wants to take the Maybach trim line to the next level: The GL-Class.
Though Daimler shuttered its Maybach ultra-luxury brand, it isn't giving up on selling cars in the $200,000+ price range. With the $470,000 Maybach, Mercedes-Benz tried to compete with ne plus ultra cars like the Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls Royce Phantom. In the ten years that the Maybach was produced, Daimler sold about 3,000 of them, about how many Phantoms Rolls-Royce sells in a year.
Fans of the Maybach brand are suffering through a dark day today; the brand was officially taken off Mercedes' press website this week, with the word "discontinued" slapped next to the venerable re-badged W140 cars.
Let's be clear about one thing: racism sucks. Be it the recent, tragic temple shooting or some BS you experienced when doing/not doing what your culture demands, this is a fact of life. That said, geo-cultural influences are everywhere, including the car design biz. Take my time at CCS: one of my classmates was a South Korean lawyer who wanted to style cars for Hyundai. His work was unique amongst all studio creations, reflecting a culture that's borderline impossible to understand by the uninitiated. Which is damn near every college kid.
This person's work reminded me how culture influences design, and how people can negatively react to it. Which leads us to a flagship Mercedes heavily(?) influenced by a Mercedes design studio in Japan. Yes, Japan. So let's get to it. (Read More…)
Jay-Z may have been the biggest celebrity booster (certainly TTAC wasn't) of the Maybach line, but the brand's demise is going to leave Hov high and dry for new wheels. So will Hov go back to the Lexus GS that he started out with? Probably not. It's up to the Best and Brightest to determine what will take Maybach's place in the whip game. Perhaps something British?
Are you the King of Spain, the Sultan of Brunai, Jay-Z, or the Russian oil billionaire Roman Abramovich? Check your mailbox. Volkswagen's Bentley has sent you mail. Bentley wants to grieve with you over the passing of your beloved Maybach brand, and then, in a tasteful way, hopes will be expressed that your next car will be a Bentley.
In November, Daimler announced that it will bury Maybach (for an eulogy fittingly written by Jack Baruth, click here). This allegedly caused tears amongst the über-rich. (Read More…)
Whenever I mention Daimler's Über-Benz Maybach, even people in the know often remark: "Haven't they stopped making them a while ago?" No, they have not. But they might. Or not. (Read More…)
Having already informed the motor press that its Maybach brand will be making a long-overdue exit from the retail market, Daimler is getting all Weekend At Bernies about the failed super-premium marque. Instead of selling the Maybach name to an upstart Chinese firm, or developing an all-new model, Daimler has decided to keep the brand on life support in a more cynical fashion than even we could have anticipated: hiring an outside firm to develop a two-door version of its 57S sedan.
We all knew this day was coming. We knew that Maybach would receive one final facelift before disappearing in a puff of garish pretentiousness. And really, we should have been prepared for this last aesthetic update to live up to the Maybach brand's already-high standards for tastelessness. But could anything have prepared us for this Hyundai Equus-grille'd monstrosity? All of a sudden, the new Phaeton's terminal subtlety is looking a lot better. After all, would you rather your plutocrat's chariot be mistaken for a Passat, or a pimp-my-ride nightmare? [via automotorundsport.de]
Despite rumors of Maybach's imminent demise, or, even more shocking, a sell-off to China's BYD (a rumor that had been debunked the next day) Maybach is alive and well. Why, we don't know. But anyway, Maybach will introduce a facelifted model at the upcoming Beijing Auto Show. The car is already in town. (Read More…)

Cass' Maupin set toplay hoops at Hanover
WALTON — Lewis Cass senior point guard Maci Maupin will continue her basketball career at the next level.
Maupin committed to play at Hanover College last Friday. Maupin will play for Hanover coach Molly Jones, who just completed her 15th year at the Division III school located in Hanover near the banks of the Ohio River.
"I'm really excited about it. I really like their coaches and they have a successful program," Maupin said. "Their campus is really nice. It just felt like that was where I was supposed to go."
Maupin, a 5-5 point guard, averaged 15.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 steals and 2.8 assists to lead the Kings this season. She earned All-Mid-Indiana Conference honors.
The Kings went 8-12 this year under first-year coach Meranda Burnett. It was their best season since 2008.
"It was a great senior year. I couldn't have asked for a better one," Maupin said. "Everyone helped make it be special. I was glad to end my career with the people I did and the coaches I had."
Hanover posted a 17-10 overall record and finished second in the Heartland Conference with a 14-4 mark. The Panthers reeled off 10 straight wins during the season and later advanced to the championship game of the league tournament for the sixth consecutive season.
Maupin plans to study psychology at Hanover.

Lobdell... you totally blew it. I was on board with this whole event, Superboy and even Supergirl were improving, as was Superman but it wouldn't take much to improve this series, but the ending of this massive event was a complete and utter mess of a ridiculous magnitude. Aside from the art. Kenneth Rocafort made this finale gorgeous and quite epic in combat.
First off, there's the significantly hyped Oracle, with ties all the way back to Superman and Stormwatch #1, constantly built up across this event, destroying ships with mere thoughts; and it just...... watches. And leaves. The cover for this issue, as well as the rest of the crossover, implied he would be a grand cosmic threat that would potentially create a temporary truce with H'el himself. And yet The Oracle did NOTHING. It would've been ok, had the thing not been set up with such grandiose efforts.
Then there's the even bigger elephant in the room, H'el backstory wasn't explained one bit. This arc has raised massive questions about this character. What EXACTLY are his powers? Why does he have such ridiculous over-the-top powers? What's his relation to the House of El? Why does he have an El-Crest scar, and why did he hide it from Kara? How much of what he said was the truth? It's clear that in the end he truly believed in his own words, and his love for Kara which is a powerful touch of emotion and uniqueness to his character, but he's still such an excessive enigma. Furthermore, he succeeded! We clearly see that at the end, he's managed to go back in time without destroying the Earth. HOW THE HELL DID THAT WORK? He had all this time and he never once considered that? Just... overall this makes no sense and undermines the entire massive arc. And there's no way he could've laid plans years back that used Superboy to his advantage, Superboy is barely a few moths old if that.
And if all that wasn't enough, the whole issue is just weakly written. The writing's not outright bad, but it's practically chocking itself with all the excessive exposition. Everyone over explains EVERYTHING, and the narration is deeply insightful at times, but other times just feels like more unnecessary words bogging things down.
Ok, it wasn't ALL bad. I loved Supergirl's part in this arc, and her role in the finale here was intense, touching, and absolutely perfect. She's really come far as a character, and I'm super happy to see her given such a vital role in H'el's defeat. Not only that, but this entire event has definitely changed the status quo of the Superman Family, brining these loosely tied heroes into a closer group.
In Conclusion: 2/5
It looked good, the action was awesome, the impact was sufficient to merit the crossover, and Supergirl was amazing. But this final has more holes than a chunk of swiss cheese that's been used for target practice on a shotgun range. After all this mystery and intrigue, H'el isn't explained in any way whatsoever, the much hyped Oracle adds such a minimal effect to the story when all the information suggested he'd basically hijack the storyline from H'el, and there's the massive gaping plot hole of H'el technically succeeding without the need for massive destruction, but also apparently his time travel efforts didn't prevent the destruction of Krypton because everyone's still here on Earth. It's extremely unfortunate, but this seemingly smooth arc that had thus far been raising the quality of all the Super-Titles crashed, burned, flopped around, and hung itself in it's big finale. I had high hopes but was severely disappointed.

La Valencia Review
This pink Spanish-Mediterranean confection drew Hollywood film stars in the 1930s and '40s with its setting and views of La Jolla Cove; now it draws the Kardashians. Rooms are small but elegant; most suites have balconies and whirlpool tubs. The personal attention provided by the staff, as well as the plush robes and grand bathrooms, guarantee a pleasurable stay. The hotel sits amid the shops and restaurants of La Jolla village. Be sure to have a cocktail while gazing at the ocean in Le Sala Lobby Lounge, and stroll the tiered gardens in back.

For special gifts, check out this handicrafts shop featuring a selection of the highest-quality products from all over Peru; it's even on the radar of Sotheby's. Ring the bell if the gate is closed during opening hours.
Located in the LarcoMar shopping mall, Lima's most exclusive club is minimalist chic, featuring house and guest DJs who spin a mix of house, hip-hop, electronica and Latin. Dress to the nines or you're not getting in.
With a full bar, this atmospheric fusion house is a lively place for sushi that doesn't break the bank. But it's not for purists. Maki acevichado and butter rolls made with fried rice are playful nods to Peruvian influence.
Visit South America and travel through three of the continent's most remarkable countries. Tour through Peru, Bolivia and Argentina as you travel from Lima to Buenos Aires. Be enchanted by the colonial grandeur of Lima before heading off to the mysterious Nazca Lines and the dazzling white city of Arequipa.
On your marks, get set, go! This incredible Overland adventure from Lima to Rio will blow your mind. Enjoy the cosmopolitan cool vibe of Buenos Aires, trek along an ancient Inca trail to marvellous Machu Picchu and experience life on Lake Titicaca.
From the cosmopolitan flair of Lima to Incan culture high in the Andes, this two-week adventure provides a panoramic view of Peru and a glimpse of Bolivia. Embrace cultures past and present in Cusco and La Paz and interact with locals from the region's communities for an immersive experience that few rarely get to know.
Fútbol is the national obsession, and Peru's Estadio Nacional, off cuadras 7 to 9 of Paseo de la República, is the venue for the most important matches and other events. Teleticket has listings and sales.
A magnificent two-story casona is home to Lima's most prestigious contemporary art gallery. Look for works by cutting-edge painters such as Fernando Gutiérrez, whose canvases often skewer Peruvian culture.
A frumpy spot with a grumpy counterman that serves strong, inky cortados (espresso with a dollop of steamed milk) made with coffee grown in Chanchamayo. Bagged, whole-bean coffee is available to take home.
Have a refreshing pisco sour at the long wooden cocktail bar then select a table for gastronomic treats that range from Argentinean beef to ceviche to lobster to pasta. This is a very atmospheric place for lunch.
Explore pre-Incan ruins dating back to 200 BC right in downtown Lima! Long before stones were laid down to build Machu Picchu, the indigenous people of what is now Peru were constructing huacas (pyramid-like structures) for ceremonial purposes.
If you have the time and can't decide between Peru and Brazil, then see them both—and pretty much everything in between—on this 51-day extravaganza. Trek the legendary Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, cross the Bolivian Salt Flats, sip wine in Argentina and hit the beach in Brazil.
Just north of MALI, the Museo de Arte Italiano exhibits a tepid collection of 19th- and 20th-century Italian academic art. Its best attribute is the glittering Venetian mosaics on the exterior walls.
A well-to-do outdoor mall wedged into the cliff top beneath the Parque Salazar, full of high-end clothing shops, trendy discotheques and a wide range of eateries. There's also a bowling alley.
This all-hours corner sandwich shop is the perfect fix for the midnight munchies. Lechon a la leña (roasted pork) is their specialty, but there's also roast chicken or ham served in fluffy rolls.
Locals park their designer dogs out front of this roasting house with the finest lattes in town, well matched with fresh pastries or bitter chocolate pie. Check out the courses on roasting and tasting.

I'm gonna start this off by saying that my knowledge of genetics and blood types and such are a laymen's knowledge at best. I didn't even take high school bio.
Also, this is a mixed fantasy/sci-fi setting, so I'm trying to account for both those ideas.
From a purely sci-fi point of view, I'm pretty sure different races would not be able to share blood through transfusions - they would simply be incompatible. However, some species are able to interbreed and produce viable offspring. (Nobody has ever said that half-elves and half-orcs are sterile.) To me this means that, at minimum, orcs and humans, and elves and humans should be able to share blood, since they share enough genetic similarities to produce offspring.
And from a fantasy point of view, polymorphing magic can make a dragon into a human to produce a child. So magic must change genetic structures and gamite cells enough to once again produce offspring. To me this means that polymorphing magic could change one's blood type, for example.
Vai's blood is neither that of a half-elf nor a dragon, but some twisted middle-grou d wrought by dark science and magic.
This is where my conundrum comes from.
I'm honestly fine either way with this problem being resolved quickly. I'm just trying to be as medically realistic as possible.

Public, Catholic boards partner to provide service
It will instead be co-ordinated by the Rainbow District School Board.
Sudbury Catholic director of education Catherine McCullough said her board has administered English-language CTC education programs for about a decade. It provides the service in partnership with Rainbow.
There's also a French-language class at CTC administered through a partnership between the local French public and French Catholic school boards.
Although the changeover was prompted in part by the impending retirement of the Sudbury Catholic teacher who runs the program, the board just thought it was time Rainbow had a turn administering the service, said McCullough.
She said the changeover is not related to Sudbury Catholic's accumulated deficit, which stood at $2 million as of the end of August. The board looks to balance its books by August 2015.
It's yet to be decided which board will supply the teacher to take over for the retiring staff member.
Student services will not be affected, McCullough said.
Rainbow director of education Norm Blaseg said the board is happy to take on the administrative role.
"Any time we can provide services for kids, I think we put ourselves in a great position, and our parents and students are benefactors," he said.

Mauritania travel info wanted
Looking to travel from Sierra Leone to Germany in the spring of 2013. After poring over maps and guide books the route through Mali to eastern Mauritania looks interesting and off the beaten path.
Anyone have any recent travel info? My thought was come up through Bamako to Nara, into Mauritania through Ayoun el Atrous and then on towards Nouadhibou and into Morocco.
Is that a reasonable route? Too risky given the situation in Mali?
You'll find out when you get there, but I would say Nara is perhaps too far east and close to {former?) AQIM areas. Before the takeover of north Mali there were skirmishes here in the 'Forest of Wagadou' (or something like that) and lately reports suggest they're spreading out.
Better to plan to head into Mori via Nioro. The rest of your route looks fine, either via the road or including a few pistes.
I traveled about a year ago from Nouakchott east as far as Ayoun then south to Diema, Didieni , and Bamako.
No problems, roads are under construction, or in Bad shape. You will be stopped a lot ( 49 times ) by police road blocks, so be sure and have your " fish " .
Mali has changed in the north , from what friends in Bamako have said.
Fuel up every chance you get in Mauritania !
I have collect some links of people who was on the west this year - or are currently on the way.
Trans-Africa: Gerade Unterwegs...
Have a look, when you have enough time for.
Feel free to add some in a comment - you may have meet some more :thumbup1:
why do you need a fish......i actualy remember being on a overland truck out there and we did have a dryed out blowfish straped to the frount of the truck
He means 'fiche' - French for form.
A pre-printed batch of them filled out with your details (download here and adapt as you like) can speed up checkpoints.
So how many copies of this information sheet do I need? Is 100 copies reasonable? Am I correct in assuming that photocopiers are available at least at border crossings as they were in Latin America?
I have not been down there lately but would have thought 40 (10 pages) will be plenty.
Cant imagine you can rely on photocopiers at Mali/Mori border posts as they're not part of the immigration process like in C Am.
So fill out all but the date of entry bit at any cybercafe with a printer, then do the DoE by hand, as and when.
They may also want a visa#
These forms aren't essential - they just save time and make the job easier for checkpointman. If you're not rushed and like to talk football, don't bother ;-)
i still want to take a fish

Video game review: New Nintendo DS game features the fun and wonder of 'Finding Nemo'
Game cover
The bright colors and wonder of the undersea world are the stars in a new video game for the Nintendo 3DS system: "Finding Nemo: Escape to the Big Blue Special Edition."
Kids can relive the Disney Pixar classic about a timid clown fish who sets out on a journey to bring his son home. The game's release was timed perfectly with the release of the 3-D version of the beloved movie.
The game includes more than 30 mini-games and allows kids to choose to play as one of the film's key "Finding Nemo" characters: Nemo, Dory and Marlin. During game play, kids can watch "Finding Nemo 3D" movie clips right on their Nintendo 3DS systems.
Kids will find three different game modes: Baggy mode, where the characters are in a "baggy" and need help rolling out to sea; Mini-games, where players can earn sea tokens; and Interactive Reef, where kids can redeem their sea tokens to "purchase" items to personalize their very own reef or aquarium.
Kids with a wide variety in age can enjoy this game. It's recommended for ages 6-12. The mini-games can be played by the very young set in a simple way, and older kids playing the same mini-game can go for higher points and pile up the tokens. The possibility to buy accessories for the Interactive Reef follows a huge trend in kids' online gaming, and parents will appreciate the fact that tokens can be earned by gameplay rather than having to fork out more money.
Even a 13-year-old tester, while skeptical at first that it would be only fun for little kids, found the mini-games "surprisingly fun" and "addictive." The addition of clips from the actual "Finding Nemo" movie adds to the appeal of the game. One tester couldn't wait to rewatch the classic movie after playing the game.
Families in search of fun, clean games for the kids will love this new addition to the Nintendo 3DS catalog.

Andrew Bird, Live In Concert: Newport Folk 2013
Hear this
This text will be replaced
Explore this
Reported by
Stephen Thompson
Andrew Bird's records have grown quieter and more intimate in recent years, but he remains a remarkably dynamic live performer: Last year's Break It Yourself wouldn't seem to be the stuff of blockbuster live shows, and yet when he took it to the stage, he injected its characteristically smart, brooding songs with surprising intensity. Of course, it helps that, 12 albums into an unpredictable career, Bird has become a cult superstar whose fans clearly fuel him onstage.
Hear Andrew Bird dump out his bag of tricks — including a formidable vocabulary, classically trained violin chops and the best whistling in the business — as part of the 2013 Newport Folk Festival, recorded live on Sunday, July 28 in Newport, R.I.

Investigators believe the couple collected about a half-million dollars after faking the husband's death in Mexico.
SANTA ANA – A local couple is accused of conspiring to fake the husband's death in order to collect Social Security and insurance benefits, authorities said.
The man was working as a truck a driver when he was taken into custody Monday in Fontana, officials said. The couple have collected at least $500,000 from the fake death over the past seven years.
"They did admit to paying Mexican officials to obtain a death certificate," said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators on Monday took Lucio Rodriguez, 52, and his wife, Rosa Carrasco, 53, into custody on suspicion of fraud, grand theft, theft of Social Security benefits and burglary. The two are accused of conspiring seven years ago to fake his death so they could claim Social Security benefits as well as union benefits from his previous job as a truck driver, Amormino said.
For the past seven years, Rodriguez had been living as Santiago Carrasco, he said.
The two are believed to have pulled off the scam after obtaining a death certificate from Michoacan, Mexico, stating that he died of heart failure there.
Investigators believe Rosa Carrasco was the beneficiary of the death benefits and that the two began collecting the money shortly after the death was reported. She is believed to have been collecting death insurance money as well, Amormino said, though investigators are still trying to determine what type of policies the couple held at the time.
After the fake death, Rodriguez was able to obtain a driver's license and continued to work as a truck driver in Fontana, Amormino said.
It is believed the couple continued living together in Santa Ana after faking the death, though Rodriguez later moved to Fontana, closer to his new job.
Authorities believe he obtained a residence there, through traffic tickets show he was regularly at his wife's home in Santa Ana, Amormino said.
Carrasco was taken into custody while she was working at a Macy's store at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Amormino said.

Ugh that's horrible news, I was really looking forward to their set.
Type: Posts; User: Taylor
Ugh that's horrible news, I was really looking forward to their set.
I really wanted to drive back up to see Beck this week but with Disclosure in Vegas last weekend and FYF coming up in a couple weeks there was just no way. have so much fun though i'm super jealous.
I happened to be in Salt Lake for Wu so I went, and to be honest the crowd wasn't so bad. I guess what I'm saying here is I think my previous statements were over the top.
Fucked Up, please!
I spent a night at the Bonaventure last month. It was awesome. Its like a small city in that hotel and the elevators are a blast. Ask for a high room when you get there and you might end up with an...
Yep I was there with my wife. It was a lot of fun and we were able to make it down on the floor for the last few songs.
Four Points by Shereton. Its about 4 miles from the train station so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks for the input everyone. Booked a room in Culver city for $100.
Im looking for some advice here. Me and two of my friends are driving over from Utah for FYF. None of us have spent very much time in LA and we are unfamiliar with the city and the public...
Did anybody else watch Fargo? just finished it last night.
It's like that anti-fyf.
well that was quick and painless.
And also some of those bands are no longer bands.
Or sometimes people get hit by her because that elevator jay z thing you know guys?
Aaaand the lineup just got better.
Welp now im sad that Fucked Up isn't there and then that reminded me that Fuck Buttons aren't there either. You'd think there would be at least one
Fuck band at fuck yeah fest.
^i wouldn't even be mad
Called over and over for about 10 minutes and finally got through. On hold now. I'll report back how it went.
Update: It worked. Held for about a half hour. They said Coachella has authorized them...
I've been trying to get ahold of FG all day and have only gotten a busy signal :(
Same thing happened to me. There was no option anywhere for a payment plan. Huge inconvenience for me to have to drop $400 right now. This pretty much erases my hopes of getting to FYF this year. I'm...
Wait people that go to edc still give a shit about the lineup?
I don't know has anybody threatened to off themself yet?
That's from 3 days ago.
I really want the lineup to come out before Coachella goes on sale tomorrow. If its good enough I might just skip Coachella next year. Don't really have the cash for both right now..
I'm not very familiar with Built to Spill. What albums should I start with?
Was watching weekend 2 on TV over at my parents house and my mom asked the same exact question.
Just a warning for anyone thinking about driving from far away for any of these. The crowd is absolutely terrible. There were bros moshing to the Decemberists a few years ago. The performers are...
One of the best lineups we've ever had for this!
This would make me very happy.
I saw them at the US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach last year. They played almost exclusively off of their first few albums, didn't speak to the crowd once, didn't play Float On and no encore. I...
Prepaid Visa?
I use Google Music All Access because it works fantastic with my Nexus 7. It's the same price as everyone else but I like it because its not tied to any social networking at all. I dont have to see...
1. The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
2. Future Islands - Singles
3. Sun Kil Moon - Benji
4. Todd Terje - It's Album Time
5. Beck - Morning Phase
6. St. Vincent - St. Vincent
Yesss! thank you. Work is gonna be fun tomorrow.
I'll admit I found this guy because of the pitchfork review but I have been absolutley loving this album too.
Saw him during Goat. I just shook my head and tried to pretend he wasn't right next to me.
I saw them last year. front row, smashed up against the barrier at a free show in the park in downtown Salt Lake City. It was incredible, they played pretty much everything you'd want to hear, they...
1. Arcade Fire
2. Bonobo
3. Future Islands
4. Queens of the Stone Age (was gonna miss them for The Magician but The Pixies got me in the mood for rock)
5. OutKast
Gonna break from the format a little here. Now that Coachella is over I feel more free to spend my time listening to whatever I want rather than solely listening to Coachella artists. I saved a few...
Our group showed up at 930am and got stuck I'm lot 4. I drove all night for nothing..
Here was my logic. James Mercer is annoying. I'll get my NicJar fix at Darkside. and Woodkid will make my legs hurt because while it will most likely sound amazing I will still just be standing there...
Sound issues the whole time, barely anyone in the crowd, the band seemed really pissed off about the sound problems. They never spoke to the crowd once, didn't even wave or say thanks when they were...
Walked up near the end and they were just starting their 1chord-wall-of-sound-for-10-minutes. I wasn't getting it at all so I walked over to James Vincent. I wish I would have gotten there earlier.
I really wish Bicep would have played earlier in the day. One of the smallest names on the lineup and they close out the tent..
I had a prime location for this set right in front of the sound booth. Best sounding set on the main that I saw. They were tight, crisp, clear, professional. Great set list, wasn't bored for a...
The first year I went in 2009, I was 18, camped alone and it was the greatest thing in the world. My mind was opened up to so much great music, I was exposed to electronic music for thhe first time...
I went with Bonobo and it was one of my top 5 sets of the whole weekend.
He sounded great! Laid down in the grass for his set. It was a nice break after getting my ears blown off at Bo Ningen.
Thanks! I always use yours.

Per the Indians Twitter account (@Indians), the first arbitration domino has fallen, as the Tribe has reached an agreement with recently acquired relief pitcher Josh Outman.
Outman, acquired from the Rockies in the Drew Stubbs deal, spent two years with the Rockies, going 3-0 with a 4.33 ERA in 2013. That was also his first year as solely a reliever, having started in 32 games prior between Colorado and Oakland. He was used in 61 games and finished with a WHIP of 1.463

Going Public to Grow? Evidence from a Panel of Italian Firms
AbstractThis paper investigates the consequences of the decision to go public for the growth of Italian firms using US firms as a benchmark for comparison. We find Italian firms conducting IPOs are larger than US firms, but raise fewer funds from the IPO and grow more slowly afterwards. We also compare Italian IPOs across time. Firms going public in the 1990s display features that are more similar to US IPOs. We describe changes to the Italian economy and financial markets that are potentially responsible for the change. We compare firms of different size and with different governance structures, and we find that they behave differently after going public. Our results suggest that going public does not guarantee faster growth or more jobs. As such, public policies that simply increase access to equity markets may not be effective unless they provide incentives for the firms' decision-makers to use the new capital to grow.
