Some South Georgia children spent the summer learning about their hometown. Many parents and kids say the club showed them places in Albany that they never knew existed.
It's called the Albany Explorer's Club. The Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau hosted an end of the summer party for the members and their parents today, and each member received a free bag with school supplies.
The club allows kids to visit several businesses and agencies in the city to help broaden their horizons.
"We hear over and over that there's nothing here in Albany for people to do in the summer and we just want to show that there is something to do, says Richard Bivins, Vice-President of Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"I have learned from this club that if you go to different places you can experience different things," says thirteen year old, Jalisa Richardson.
Many parents agree. They say not only are there kids learning more about what's in Albany, but they are too. Kim Buckhalter says, "We've found out things that we didn't even know were in Albany."
She says her sons have learned so much this summer, and they will have a lot to talk about with their friends at school.
She adds, "It just gives them something they can take back to school to school and tell. Eleven year old Michael Richardson, says his favorite place this summer has been the Albany Civic Center, and if you ask him a question about it, he says he will have the answer.
Richardson adds, "When I go back to school, if they ask me about something, I'll know." There are about 1500 members of the Explorers Club.
They have been learning more about places like the Albany Herald, Chehaw Park, and the Civil Rights Museum all summer, and many say they are already looking forward to next summer's exploration.
Explorer's Club members also visited Jimmie's Hot Dogs, CiCi's Pizza and Putt Putt Golf and Games.

About Lake Champlain ChocolatesChocolate has always been special. To the ancient Mayans it was the nectar of the gods. Europeans revered it as a symbol of wealth and power. African cultures believed it an aphrodisiac. One of the world's greatest expressions of taste and rapture, chocolate is enjoyed by millions, yet few have successfully combined the oldest traditions of confection-making with the purest natural ingredients. At Lake Champlain Chocolates, their goal has always been the creation of something special. The union of the rich history of making fine chocolate, the heritage of craftsmanship, and the wonderful flavors of Vermont is accomplished every day at our factory, producing sweet indulgences with pride that goes into each bite. Perhaps that's why The New York Times reveres it as "some of the best chocolate in the country."

LAKESIDE (CNS) - A wildfire spread over rugged open terrain near El Capitan Reservoir Tuesday, scorching scores of acres but causing no reported structural damage or injuries.
The blaze erupted for unknown reasons off the 15800 block of El Monte Road in the Lakeside area shortly before 1:30 p.m., according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Ground and airborne crews worked to contain the flames, which blackened roughly 110 acres by early evening, the federal agency reported.
The blaze moved away from developed areas as it spread through the outskirts of Cleveland National Forest, authorities said.

I was hung up on the bloody saving for far too long. I spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong with the save system, but it turned out it was working just fine, I had just told it to save the wrong data Not a lot of progress, but that's a checkmark on the list.

I haven't played many games with Star in the title, but is this a sort of long-form version of Strange Adventures In Infinite Space? I quite liked that game.
You could say that, yeah. I'm going in a bit of a different direction but those games were definitely a big influence.
The cards: Those cards, or something like them will be in the game. Definitely.
The look: The battles will be more colourful, but the basic look probably won't change much.

Rep. Elton Gallegly, whose ultimate goal is the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, and his former colleague, JD Watts, continue their misleading cheerleading for E-Verify. They've got similar talking points, but both failed to mention the rotting fields in Georgia, thanks to a state E-Verify law.

As it turns out, undocumented workers aren't really big fans of being targeted while they're doing their job, and farmers aren't so keen on having their workers picked on either. As a result of anti-immigrant legislators passing legislation that scares off undocumented workers, farmers are suffering, and a multi-billion dollar industry is at a significant loss.

Rep. Lamar Smith claims E-Verify "is not an immigration bill, it's a jobs bill." But, Smith's definition of a "jobs bill" is one that kills 770,000 jobs, forces millions into an administrative quagmire, destroys America's agriculture industry and imposes new taxes and red tape on small business.

Holling Grange Cottages - Self-catering in Herefordshire
Holling Grange, Abbey Dore,
England, United Kingdom
Cédric and Dawn returned to Britain from France, and found a listed tithe barn in need of some love. Now it houses three beautifully crafted hideaways, each restored with an understated elegance by your delightful hosts (she a florist, he a French chef).

Cédric has planned the beamed kitchen to perfection, with all the latest mod cons; their enthusiasm for their surroundings is clear and plans for a vegetable garden and an orchard are afoot. Relax on the paved deck with a glass of wine, dine in their restaurant, take a dip in the heated indoor pool (June to September), or plan a narrow boat cruise and a divine picnic lunch – with or without your hosts. For the bookish, Hay-on-Wye is a 20-minute drive – but you may find you never want to leave!

Sony's Rumoured QX1 Lens Could Turn Your Smartphone Into a DSLR

These things live on the same planet as us. That's a fact that can mess with your brain a little bit.

The brighter picture softens features and makes people look cheery, the darker picture makes shadows more dramatic and features more harsh.

The HTC ONE will be the biggest laptop shaming device the world has ever seen
Two characteristics in particular that are likely better on the HTC ONE than most low end to middling pc notebooks are screen quality/resolution and speaker volume/quality.
At 1080p, the HTC ONEs screen essentially eclipse the vast majority of notebook computers sold. Not just the budget machines either, machines costing upwards of 700 or 800 dollars often come loaded with 1366x768 screen resolutions, with washed out color and abominable viewing angles.
A phone with a 4.7" screen is somehow able to field a higher res screen than most 15" laptops. That, is an embarrassment to all pc makers who stuff those crappy screens in notebooks.
Worse yet, many laptops have really REALLY bad speakers. I would not be surprised if the HTC ONEs speakers were better than a large chunk of laptops on the market that are orders of magnitude larger in size.
Again, embarrassment, shameful to the extreme. And the HTC ONE will be the first device to highlight both of these abject failures in a single device so dramatically.

Going into this series, I considered a series split to be a victory for the Rays. It got a bit hairy after losing the first two games, but the Rays pulled it out, winning last night in a 10-3 thrashing. Neither David Price or CC Sabathia looked as sharp as they did in their match-up a week prior, with each pitcher allowing over 10 baserunners (12 for Price, 13 for Sabathia) and getting into a fair number of jams. The main difference between the two: Price managed to escape those jams with minimal damage, while Sabathia imploded in the sixth inning.
It may not get a lot of attention due to the offensive outburst that followed in the sixth inning, but Price's performance in the fifth inning was huge. The Yankees started the inning by scoring a run on a double by Greg Dolson, a single by Derek Jeter, and a single by Nick Swisher, making it 3-1 and putting them in a position to break the game open. Mark Teixiera struck out and Alex Rodriguez then walked, loading the bases (with only one out, mind you) and bringing Robinson Cano to the plate. With the way Price had been throwing - walking lots of batters, giving up plenty of hits - I figured that's it, game over. So much for our hopes at the division.
But Price, in all his sneakiness, managed to wiggle his way free. Cano popped up in the infield and then Marcum Thames followed with a strikeout. Crisis averted, and the Rays went on to score seven runs off the Yankees in the top of the next inning. Price certainly wasn't outstanding last night - only 10 swinging strikes and he had trouble locating his curveball - but he got the job done.
On the offensive side, I'd love to highlight one at bat from the sixth inning that was clutch, but it's so tough to choose just one. Carl Crawford started things off with a single. Rocco Baldelli brought in the first run with a swinging safety squeeze. Willy Aybar brought in the tying run on a rope to centerfield. And then BJ Upton rips into deep left-centerfield, bouncing over the wall for a ground-rule double and giving the Rays a big lead. It was one heck of an inning.
Now that we've split this series with the Yankees, it means the Rays can ride their easy schedule (Seattle, Baltimore, and Kansas City) while hopefully making up ground on the Yankees (who face Boston, Toronto, and Boston). The Rays have now won the season series again the Yanks, meaning that if we end up tied at the end of the season, the Rays will be declared the division winners. Given that the Rays are only down a half game and face a considerably easier schedule, the odds are quite good that we touch out the Yankees by the end. Could the Rays possibly win two AL East division titles in three years? That's something that no team outside the Yankees (even the Red Sox) have done in recent memory.
- Ah, I love good schadenfreude. Not going to lie, I got a perverse pleasure out of watching Javier Vazquez implode during the seventh inning. Check out this play-by-play: BB, HBP, HBP, HBP, BB, sacrifice fly, BB. He tied the major league record for most hit batters in a row. Ouch.
- Talk about mailing it in. Anyone that was attacking Joe Maddon for giving up on games earlier in this series, take a look at what Joe Girardi did late in this game. First of all, he went to Javier Vazquez in the seventh and stuck with him through his troubles, and then he replaces nearly every one of his position players in the eighth inning.

Debunking the Tucked Pelvis
Bad News Ballet
If ballet is bad for you, why imitate it?
Why is the tucked pelvis of ballet so pervasive in other forms of exercise?
In the last two decades, the exercise culture has blossomed into many different forms. Now there are classes in running, aerobics, weight lifting, spinning, swimming, dancing, and yoga. But in the aerobics and yoga worlds, the teachers are still predominately from a dance background. Many yoga teachers are dancers who do yoga to heal themselves, and they retain the visceral memories of their ballet teachers constantly yelling at them to tuck their pelvises. So these teachers repeat the same to their students. The irony of it is that old ballet teachers walk with a limp because overdoing the pelvic tuck has given them sciatica or arthritic hips.
Flat spine or curved spine?
Constantly arching the spine is unhealthy. Constantly tucking the spine is unhealthy. So should we live our lives in a timid neutrality of spine position, neither tucking nor tilting the pelvis? The answer is an emphatic "No!" The neutral spine position is how office workers live their lives, and statistics show that 80 percent of them will suffer serious back problems.

Keep your chin up Paula. You need to ask food network since they announced a condition that exists to work there if they have finished asking every person associated with them if they have ever done what u did (& everybody else) & fired them immediately without using any common sense.

I tried it and I had to add a lot more pinapple and ice. For my taste, it had too much banana. My mom loved it though.
By Brenda on March 06, 2013
I love the article its superb! Thumbup!!!thanx alot
By Aisha W Baffa on January 05, 2013
I have to say I was NOT that fond of this recipe. Specifically, while there was nothing "bad" about it, it did NOT taste like a true "pina colada" flavor. In fact, I don't believe any pina colada I've ever had even contained a BANANA. I think that was the part that rather turned me off. It's more of a "tropical" smoothie than a true pina colada. As I said, nothing inherently wrong, just not the taste I was expecting.
By Beth on August 06, 2012
Tasted like banana and kind of pineapple, no coconut taste.
By Titties on August 04, 2012
This is great. My daughter- in- law makes smoothies for the twins and they would love this. Like the boys say" juice momma"! lol

Reviews for
AudioFile Reviews 2002 June/July
Greg "Slam" Harris's life revolves around basketball. His game, which is formidable, is the only thing he has control over. Everything outside of the court is a struggle: His marks are slipping; the basketball coach in his new school benches him for his attitude; and he's afraid his friend, Ice, is dealing drugs. Myers's book reflects difficulties faced by young kids when their dreams are all they have to hold onto, and they're forced to grow up too soon. Thomas Penny's narration ably presents the voices of Slam's teachers, with their snide, preaching, and ultimately hopeful messages, and shines when Slam goes after his dream. E.J.F. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
School Library Journal Reviews 2001 March
Gr 8 Up-"Basketball is my thing. I can hoop. Case closed." So begins Walter Dean Myers' novel (Scholastic, 1996) which lends itself perfectly to an audio presentation for young adults. Male reluctant readers as well as basketball fans will be captivated with this realistic story in which 17-year-old Greg Harris tells of the year in which he transfers to a magnet school for the arts, a more academically challenging, mostly white school. After being the hot shot star of his Harlem high school team, he has to learn to fit in and be a team player at his new school. He may not be able to do anything about the rest of his life his relationships with his family and friends, his grandmother's illness, his scholastic difficulties, or what goes on in his Harlem neighborhood but when he gets onto the basketball court, "Slam" feels in control. Listeners will enjoy this fast-paced, energetic story following Slam's progress as he tries to deal with basketball and life. Myers has created a character and a story that have great appeal for teens, and narrator Thomas Penny skillfully captures this young urban black man's voice. A valuable addition for teen audio collections.-Marilyn Higgins, Metuchen High School, NJ Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

What's wrong with Stupid in America: How We Cheat Our Kids:
1) John Stossel did it.
2) The students were goofing off because finals were over.
3) The teacher being overriden is clearly lecturing only because the cameras were watching, which is why no one's paying attention.
4) The scene is heavily edited.
5) The Belgian-American comparison only shows how little our government values education, whereas the segment clearly wants to blame the teachers.
6) The clip actually uses hyperbolic scenes from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" and Jay Leno to make its points, when both are comic pieces.
7) Why ask the students what they need, except to make them look dumber? Ask the question of someone whose responsibility it is to make school better.
8) The studies focus exclusively on public schools, when it should have taken into account the failures of private schools as well.
9) It claims that, since one school's extravagance failed to produce higher test scores, that all public schools deserve to languish in poverty.
10) Jay Greene, the expert interviewed for the funding segment, works for the right-wing Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and is a regular contributor to the National Review. None of this is mentioned in the report.
11) The school that supposedly saves money relies on the students to do constant janitorial duties and other duties that could possibly constitute illegal child labor.
12) That same school benefits from low teacher-student ratios and increased principal involvement. What a revelation.
13) That principal bribes students for perfect attendance. Stossel paints this as a good thing.
14) The "independent" schools are seen as being better than public schools. Of course they appear that way; like private schools, they can choose their students and have smaller class sizes. You can't blame public schools for that.
15) One public-school student, an 18-year-old reading at a fourth-grade level, is profiled. Surely every student at his school is not such an extreme case.
16) Sylvan helped the illiterate student faster than the public-school group that had tried to help him. Stossel says it was only because Sylvan was private, ignoring any other mitigating factors.
17) Stossel credits vouchers as the reason schools are better in Belgium, whereas his sources' quotes, edited as they are, seem to suggest that many other factors are at play.
18) He also contradicts himself by saying schools in Belgium thrive because vouchers cause more variety in schools, whereas he decries similar facilities in America as being frivolous.
19) "Here in Belgium, [good schools] are all over the place" would seem to undermine the argument that vouchers are helping much there. Vouchers supposedly help students in bad schools go to good ones.
20) Stossel interviews Kevin Chavous of the Center for Education Reform. Unmentioned in the interview is that Chavous is a pro-voucher activist and that the CER is also a conservative, pro-voucher organization.
21) The interviews with the Belgian children suggest that they have been given very leading questions about a loose concept of "choice": "Is it bad that American students don't have as many choices?" "Wow, they don't? Yeah!"
22) Indeed, the Belgian kids seemed to have been whipped into a frenzy, in the spirit of the title, "Stupid in America." "Beat that, Americans!" Great dialogue.
23) Stossel's one-channel TV/public school analogy is so flawed that I won't even get into it.
24) The voucher issue is painted as an equalizing issue, when in reality it only increases the division between rich and poor schools.
25) Stossel's outrage at people having to go to schools in their own area, when many of the same people who support vouchers support "neighborhood schools" (a code word for segregation).
26) Almost all of Stossel's voucher segment focuses on a single district in South Carolina, a bottom-ranking state, as representative of the entire country.
27) In South Carolina, Stossel relies too much on parental allegations, while quoting kids whose own words are rarely heard on camera.
28) Stossel actually equates public schools to government repression in the Soviet Union!
29) Nowhere in the segment does anyone speak more than one sentence at a time, suggesting that some quotes might have been taken out of context.
30) Stossel repeatedly suggests that schools will not improve until they can be marketed like cell phones, sampling 1980s footage of Moscow and an SNL sketch (?!!) to prove it.
31) He suggests that an open educational marketplace would lead to specialized schools such as "Longer-hour schools, sports schools and virtual online schools." And these are good ideas?
32) Stossel derisively lumps teachers with politicians and unions when they don't agree with his ideas.
33) Stossel clearly sees public schools as institutions to ignore and abandon, and expresses mock surprise when a public-school superintendent (and the SC state legislature) disagrees with him.
34) Stossel speaks the word "union" with extreme contempt, over a clip of a woman in African garb bellowing, "The teachers...united!"
35) He offers a union rally in New York City as proof that all teachers are as corrupt as mobsters, even while that (atypical) union gathering shows no signs of such.
36) He offers one extreme case of sexual offense as cause to break down tenure (and later admits that the process to fire the offender had long since been changed).
37) At the 31-minute point, the segment becomes drippingly anti-union and one-sided, failing to explain the regulations it decries, not citing a single one nor offering any reason why they might exist.
38) Several clips of picketing teachers and commercial clips from earlier are repeated, without a new point being made, except to continue the anti-teacher baiting.
39) Stossel actually accuses teachers of being lazy, based on the official hours they work. He also sneers at a 15-percent raise he blames (blames!) on the unions.
40) He selectively quotes teachers to make the point that tenure is the reason that students don't learn, and that only teachers who must fight to survive can make a difference.
41) Hallways full of black students generally punctuate statements about "poor" and "dangerous" schools.
42) Charter schools can choose students; that is why they do better. It isn't because the teachers are happier because they lack tenure, as Stossel suggests.
43) Should students really stay in school until 5 p.m.? And requiring the tenure-free teachers to be available at all hours by phone would seem to debunk Stossel's earlier accusation that teachers are lazy.
44) The lottery to get into the profiled charter school suggests the opposite of Stossel's point: ALL schools need to be improved, rather than concentrate all the good students into one place.
45) With just one minute left in the segment, Stossel mentions that vouchers have opponents. They are presented as fist-thumping, scraggly bearded protesters, and only one is given so much as a sentence, which is promptly dismissed and discarded.
46) At no time is this obvious editorial presented as such; indeed, it is presented as an investigative news piece, which is the saddest thing of all.
Stossel concludes his "report" by saying, "We hope it starts a debate." Count on it!

A little news item from my neck of the woods..... These shameless parasites will stop at nothing, even if it means causing a blood shortage.
CLEVELAND, Ohio --Blood collection workers ended a four-month strike Monday centered on health care and working conditions at the American Red Cross, Red Cross officials said.
Teamsters Local 507 could return to work as early as Wednesday after ratifying a four-year contract Monday, said Christy Sabaka, communications manager at the Red Cross.
She said it could take several days to resume blood drives, which have dwindled since the strike began Feb. 14.
The union represents 236 blood collection employees in the American Red Cross Northern Ohio Blood Services Region, which covers Cuyahoga and 18 other counties in Northeast Ohio.
David White, spokesman for the national Teamsters headquarters in Washington, DC, would not confirm that the contract had been ratified.
"The union has no comment at this point," he said.
The local Red Cross usually holds 20 to 25 drives daily, but that has fallen to an average of five during the strike. The Red Cross was able to supply local hospitals by tapping into the organization's national inventory system to make up the difference.
Sabaka said the new contract is fair.
"The new agreement is equitable and balanced in achieving the needs of both the Red Cross and Teamsters members, and is sensitive to the financial pressures that health care providers are experiencing in today's economic environment," Sabaka said in a news release.
Union members this year were added to the health care plan given to all Red Cross workers nationally, regardless of whether they are unionized. Union members said the plan wasn't as good as their previous one.
For example, the union said the annual family deductibles in the old plan ranged from $500 to $1,000. The new ranges are from zero to $6,000. The union said out-of-pocket annual maximums used to range from $3,000 to $7,000. Now they range from $6,000 to $22,000.
Sabaka said the new contract allows for "some guarantees" limiting employees' future health care costs, but she declined to be specific. She said the union also has been granted a "seat at table" with the national Red Cross on issues relating to health care costs.
In complaints filed with the National Labor Relations Board, the union had complained the Red Cross was seeking to eliminate members' rights to bargain for health care.
Working conditions became a major issue in the strike. The blood collection employees said they often were forced to work 12 hours or more without breaks. They said management didn't alert them that more donors would be showing up at blood drives than expected. Since the Red Cross wouldn't send more workers, those staffing the drives often had to skip breaks and lunches to accommodate the additional donors, the union said.
Red Cross officials questioned whether this happened as often as the union said.
The new contract sets-up a labor-management committee, in conjunction with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, to discuss workplace issues, including those relating to breaks and lunches, Sabaka said.
She said the new contract also includes wage increases, but she declined to be specific.
In a memo to the local board of directors, David Plate, the Northeast Ohio chief executive officer, said returning workers must complete training that had been scheduled before the strike and held while it progressed.
"Required training must be completed before employees can return to their jobs collecting blood, and the Red Cross will work with union leaders to bring all employees back as quickly as possible once the contract has been ratified," he wrote. "The Red Cross will continue to run a limited schedule of blood drives until all employees are fully trained and able to return to work."
The Northeast Ohio blood collection workers were among more than 20 unions nationally that have gone on strike against the Red Cross in the past few years. For many, rising health care costs for employees had been a major issue.
Strikes continue against only two Red Cross regions, Plate said in his memo. Those regions are Western Lake Erie, which includes northwest Ohio and southeastern Michigan, and the Great Lakes, which includes the Lansing, Mich., area.

Turning the Unit On:
On/Off and Speed Settings:
Cleaning and Maintenance:
HoMedics recommends that the air cleaner be cleaned at least once a month and before storage.
Do not use water, wax, polish, or any chemical solution.
Clean Filter Indicator
The air cleaner is equipped with a CLEAN FILTER indicator to let the user know when it is time to clean the HEPA filter, about every 2,800 hours of use. When the HEPA filter is ready to be cleaned, the LED CLEAN FILTER indicator will light up on the control panel. Once the HEPA filter has been cleaned, press and hold the CLEAN FILTER button to reset the Indicator until it beeps.
Cleaning the HEPA Filter
Make sure that the air cleaner is turned OFF and unplugged from the outlet before cleaning.
When using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed. Read all instructions before using.
To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock:
CAUTION: It is normal for the plug to feel warm to the touch; however, a loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.
To Reduce the Risk of Burns, Fire, Electric Shock or Injury to Persons:
Caution: Avoid the use of an extension cord because the extension cord may overheat and cause a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord should be No. 14 AWG minimum size and rated not less than 1875 watts.
Caution: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of shock, this plug in intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature. To do so could result in an electric shock hazard.
