George Williams was the Founder of the YMCA. In 1844, after becoming a devout Christian, he gathered a group of young men together for prayer and reflection. This simple act developed into the worldwide YMCA movement. By 1845 the YMCA was holding public lectures in rented halls and Sunday afternoon teas at Hotel Radley in London. By 1851 the YMCA had spread to 16 other cities in England, Scotland and Ireland. The YMCA movement reached the American shores in 1851, with the first YMCA established in Montreal on November 25 and the second in Boston December 29. By the time George Williams was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1894, the 50th anniversary of the YMCA, there were 5, 000 YMCAs in 24 countries with 500, 000 members. He died in 1905.

Smart Swaps for Fall's Unhealthiest Foods
'Tis the season for dropping temperatures and (fat-filled) comfort foods. Before you start packing on the cold-weather pounds, learn how to indulge the healthy way with lighter versions of your favorite fall fare.
By JuJu Kim
Autumn beverages
Dont let the produce in seasonal drinks deceive you. Seemingly innocuous beverages such as pumpkin spice lattes and apple cider can squeeze fat and sugar into a liquid form. Whipped cream, alcohol, and added sweeteners can bump the calorie total of one drink to more than 500 calories, says Joan Salge Blake, MS, RD, LDN, author of the Nutrition and You series.
Swap: Sip a glass of red wine with your meal to avoid extra calories from fat- and sugar-laden additions to beverages like hot toddies and boozy ciders, says Keri Gans, RDN, author of The Small Change Diet. To satisfy a hot chocolate fix at home, heat up chocolate milk, which contains numerous vitamins and minerals and fewer calories. If you indulge at a cafe, order the smallest beverage size available, opt for nonfat over whole milk, and just say no to the whipped cream.

Average 30-year US mortgage rate up to 4.37 pct.February 27, 2014 @ 7:44 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose for a third straight week as new data showed a surprisingly strong pace of new-home sales last month. Rates still remain near historically low levels.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for the 30-year loan increased to 4.37 percent from 4.33 percent last week. The average for the 15-year mortgage rose to 3.39 percent from 3.35 percent.
A report Wednesday from the Commerce Department boosted expectations that the spring home buying season will be solid enough to lift the overall economy.
Sales of new homes rebounded in January to the fastest rate in more than five years. The strength in purchases followed a slowdown that had been linked to higher mortgage rates and severe winter weather.
Mortgage rates have risen about a full percentage point since hitting record lows roughly a year ago. The increase was driven by speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce its $85 billion-a-month bond purchases. Deeming the economy to be gaining strength, the Fed proceeded last month with planned reductions of its bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term interest rates low.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country between Monday and Wednesday each week. The average doesn't include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.
The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged at 0.7 point. The fee for a 15-year loan also remained at 0.7 point.
The average rate on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage fell to 2.52 percent from 2.57 percent. The average fee increased to 0.4 point from 0.3 point.
The average rate on a five-year adjustable mortgage declined to 3.05 percent from 3.08 percent. The fee held at 0.5 point.

The Braves, Cardinals, Orioles and Rangers all have a one-game shot to continue playing meaningful baseball games this weekend.
Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig got his wish this season: Several MLB teams in both leagues, beyond the division leaders, had a chance to reach the postseason. That means, as the quest to play in the World Series continues, the number of teams still in contention bodes well for keeping enthusiasm, as well as the TV ratings, high.

Clad in black rough sawn timber that makes the home fit in so beautifully with its bucolic surroundings, the Storm Cottage by Fearon Hay Architects has operable metal screens that are perforated. These permit both natural light and ventilation and can be shut all the way when necessary. The internal walls and floors are clad with sustainably-sourced oak boards.
The home features two en-suite bedrooms organized around a living area, all of which face the sea. Furnishings are simple but fresh, and energy to power the home is derived from solar panels. Rainwater is harvested and stored for use, and wastewater is treated on-site. We find this home simple but gentle on the earth and still welcoming enough that the neighbors will want to stop by for a visit!

This Great barrier Island is in New Zealand not Australia. Quite different places especially if you talk to a New Zealander. Perhaps Australia does have a Great Barrier island but then the link you provide takes you to Great Barrier New Zealand and the Architects are also from new Zealand. Nice cottage though.

Socklings is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by destron from not knee highs, but great nonetheless If you're looking for knee-high socks, these are not a good choice for you. Even when I was skinny, these barely reached my knees and only if I tugged on them constantly. But they work great as longish midcalves. I bought a pair of these...wow, it must have been ten years ago now. They sprouted a few small holes after seven or eight years of wear but I still wear them. Basically, they're just really nice, smooth, stretchy, basic socks that last forever, stay up really well (as long as you don't try to force them to stay at knee height), and feel nice on your feet. Also, I have big ankles and calves and I have never had a problem with these fitting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kalieris from So comfortable and pretty! Finally got to wear these - they don't bind anywhere, but also don't slide down, and the texture and color are fabulous. Substantial and cushiony, but not bulky. Love these, and want to own a pair in every color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mattsaug from Very happy with these I bought 5 pairs of these and may actually get a few more. I wasn't sure how the size would work for me(I'm size 11), but they're just fine. Basically for a guy, they are between crew length and ankle. I also appreciate that they slouch well or stay up if you want. Sweeeeet colors, too!
Date published: 2014-06-12
Rated 4 out of 5 by Yuriko from Socklings I bought these in Navy, and found that they look a lot less vibrant than the ones in the photo. They stretch up to my knees and are fairly sturdy, but they're really bad at staying up. I usually have to wear them scrunched near my ankles.
Date published: 2013-10-02
Are these a similar yet shorter version of the EG Smith OTKs? Also, What is their length? Thanks!
The Socklings and the Solid Over the Knee Stockings are made with similar fiber amounts and have the same silky-soft feel. They measure about 10 inches from heel to cuff, though they can stretch higher than that when worn.

do you carry size 5 or less? Love the shorty's and socklings but do they come in thin material like trouser socks?
This is the only size and weight that we carry these in, I'm afraid. We do have lots of trouser socks though (you can find them here: http://www.sockdreams.com/search/query:trouser+socks ) and they all have tube-style feet, so you won't have any problem with them being too big!
Date published: 2013-11-19
Are these socks in burgundy whch is closest to the color in the bar or RUST like the color in the picture..the picture of the socks being worn..The RUST color is the color I am looking for NOT the burgundy....so if I order these socks will they be RUST?
It sounds like your monitor might be adjusted a bit on the warm side. The burgundy socks are a dark red, as implied by the name. If you're looking for more of a rusty orange shade, the paprika color would probably be more to your liking.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS is a new introduction to the Chevrolet lineup and is also based upon the latest Holden Commodore, which debuted in late 2012. The vehicle is an entirely new design, although its 6.2-liter V-8 carries over essentially unchanged...Read more
Fourteen years have passed since the demise of the Impala SS, but at long last, Chevrolet is ready to introduce another rear-wheel-drive, performance-oriented sedan that evokes memories of the muscle-bound Chevelles and Impalas of the 1960s. The 2014 Chevrolet SS -- yes, just "SS" -- may be sold as a slice of four-wheeled Americana, but its roots, along with its assembly plant, are firmly in Australia, as the car was designed, engineered, and built by General Motors' Holden division. Early production cars are expected to arrive in dealer showrooms by December of 2013.
We always thought that the discontinued Pontiac G8 would make for a fine performance-oriented four-door Chevy. After years of whispers, rumors, and (occasionally public) executive in-fighting, GM finally agrees.
Like the G8, the 2014 Chevrolet SS is little more than a badge-engineered version of the Holden Commodore sedan sold in Australia, although the SS is based on the new VF-series Commodore, which debuted Down Under in 2012. In theory, the SS is much like the police-only Chevrolet Caprice but newer, smaller, and a little sexier. The look is very much Holden-esque -- a bit like the Caprice, G8, and even the modern-era Pontiac GTO -- but the new SS is a little more curvaceous and less constrained than its relatives.
The initial specs are enough to make muscle-car enthusiasts salivate: a 6.2-liter V-8, with 415 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque on tap. That power purportedly pushes the SS along to an estimated 0-to-60-mph time of roughly five seconds.
Although it's certainly something to excite the Chevy crew, we have a few reservations. To start with, it trails the 2014 Dodge Charger SRT8 by 65 hp and 65 lb-ft of torque. Another gaffe: the only transmission available is a six-speed automatic. GM claims that manual gearboxes appeal only to a small niche of buyers, but we think that niche is the very same performance-oriented bunch interested in the 2014 Chevrolet SS in the first place. Seeing as Holden sells a six-speed manual transmission Down Under -- and Pontiac had offered one in the short-lived G8 GXP -- we hope that GM is just holding it for a special-edition model down the road. Care for an SS SS, anyone?

Redesigns that worked and flopped determined by new Cars.com index
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Nov 15th, 2012 at 3:31PM
The 2013 Ford Fusion is probably the latest, greatest example of a completely redesigned car that has evoked widespread calls of "Look at that!" Above its buzzworthy looks, though, Ford will be concerned about how the 2013 Fusion sells and by how much – if at all – it beats sales of the previous version. Cars.com has run the sales numbers on 61 models that have been redesigned in the past four years, ranking them as Winners, Underperformers and Losers depending on how a new-generation model is selling compared to the one it replaces. The rankings are sorted by sales class... Read More

text: 4 good gamedjhardstyling | 26/11/2008 | See all djhardstyling's reviews (6)I was a bit bored at first but i stuck with it and after my first few challenges i became hooked. This game has good graphics. Each world has loads of details and is visually stunning. The aim of the game is to collect jiggys by doing each task. The more jiggys you get the more the game is unlocked. The tasks involve racing, trying to gain the greatest distance off a ramp, knoking heavy objects off a platform, protecting people, scoring goals with a giant football. The list goes on and on. Youre constantly wondering what the next task is. You have to design vehicles to do each challenge. You can save your vehicles so you dont need to keep making them. You can modify saved ones. You find vehicle parts around the map or buy parts. They can fly, swim, glide etc. The game is big so will last awile. Their is other things to do aswell like play bingo?, play arcade games and upgrade your character at the gym. The map is great to explore. You really feel like you want to explore because their is so much detail and you are wondering what is round the corner. The game keeps you hooked. Buy it.

Energy Saving Showerhead
Item# 46-1004
Shower your home with energy and water savings
Our best-selling Energy-Saving Showerhead delivers satisfying showers without wasting precious (and costly) resources. A chrome-plated solid brass design cuts water use by 50% to 70% while delivering a vigorous 2.25 gpm flow at 80 psi (most homes average 1.2 to 1.4 gpm). It saves a four-person family up to $250 a year! USA.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Erik Great showerhead This is a great product! I like the simple, solid switch to turn off the flow and save even more water. The spray is as good as or even better than a traditional style, and I feel good knowing I am saving water and money each month - and the price is right! I recommend this showerhead. December 19, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by ramp27 Best Purchase Ever I bought this showerhead for water conservation and healthier air quality. My old showerhead smelled of mold and mildew and was plastic. A metal showerhead was recommended and the less tubing, the better. I expected this showerhead to perform as others of its design by creating a spray that encircled my body instead of saturating it. To my surprise, this is the most effective and sanitary shower I have ever had! It does not feel like a water-saving showerhead at all! I even felt a little guilty. The spray is full and the head pivots well for easy shower cleaning. It is the best showerhead I have ever used! My family of five agrees. November 21, 2009

My shower handle does not have an adjustable flow, it it either on or off. Would this still work to save water?

Answer:You can not attach another shower head to this unit. If you wanted to use this shower head on it's own it would work. You would have to replace your handled shower head with this.
