Transform A Dress You Already Have Into A Prom-Worthy Look For Under $25!
You don't need to spend major cash to get a major prom look. Prom Committee member Isabella tells you four ways to transform a dress you already own into a prom-worthy look for less than $25!
By Prom Committee Member Isabella
A Statement Necklace
A glam necklace can transform any look and make a dress you already own look totally new. To amp up an LBD look for a sparkly silver-toned necklace decked out with crystals, while gold will go best with a white or light-colored frock. For a metallic dress, funk things up with a bold neon necklace, or go glam with a jeweled bib.
Since statement necklaces are big and flashy, you want to keep everything else you're wearing more understated and make sure the rest of your jewelry compliments the metals and styles. Simple studs and light gold or silver bangles will add an extra does of glam without looking over the top.

They are comfortable. Sooooooo comfortable. I was never sure on how to use them because to be honest how many sales people know how to use them? I was told by one sales person, "it's too difficult to show, here's a pouch". So, I was left with that impression.
Birdies Room sent me a wonderful wrap to review through Didymos. I highly recommend shopping with Birdies Room as they have a great selection for all your babywearing needs and other goodies that are essential once you become a parent or if you need to buy a special gift. If you need a gift, get a Didymos wrap and introduce the new mom to something essential in parenting.
Learning to wrap is wonderful and for new babywearers give it a try! The value of wrap is invaluable, you'll have a new appreciation for this style of babywearing. Once you invest in a wrap and are done with wrapping there are loads of for sale or trade groups and forums. You can even convert your beautiful wrap into a SSC or ring sling too!
Didymos is a company from Germany that started in 1972! Read the story {here} How serious is Didymos about quality? Check out their criteria {here}
|Hip Carry position picture from Didymos
|This position is a The Wrap Cross Carry
So what are some the advantages of a Didymos wrap? Here's a few examples:
- Your hands are free(yes I know like most baby carriers)
- Babies who are carried regularly do not develop fear of loss, they cry less and become independent earlier.
- The sling is suitable for all sizes and you can carry your baby from birth to the age of three years. I have carried my 3 1/2 yr old in a back carry.
- The wraparound sling is lightweight and handy,and, when not needed, it folds and fits easily in a bag.
- DIDYMOS- slings are made from pure organic cotton and the colours are free fom heavy metals.
- I love this one! I have yet to make this a hammok for my son. He'd love it! When the Didymos is no longer needed for carrying, it will serve as a hammock, a comforter, a swing , sun-sail, a scarf, etc
|I have this one! I love it! picture from Didymos
- The ease in using them. I found the DVD very helpful.
- So COMFORTABLE!
- You don't have to wash it right away necessarily. If you want it softer than go for it but I loved the feel of it and strength of the wrap. Who new a piece of cloth could be so amazing for babywearing. I am new to wrapping and love it.
- The use only 100% organic cotton
- I had the Jacquard in Waves Elder which is fine, elastic and soft for a woven.
- Practice, practice, practice. With anything new, it can take a little time or a long time to get it right.
- Proper support all the way around. For me and my son.
- Can be used year round
- Can easily breast feed in it
- Various tying methods so you never get bored with the same old, same old and grow with your baby's needs.
- Safe & magical. I love wrapping and wish I started earlier.
- I really liked the support on the Didymos site as well, such as pictures of their tying methods. I like the company a lot. Friendly and good energy.
- They have a Free App that is super helpful and takes you through the steps of tying methods and I downloaded it to my iPad.
- Fits all sizes, from petite to plus size as they come in different measurements.
Too be honest I can't find anything to say. For some it's the learning curve. For me not so much. I loved practicing and feeling the support of the wrap and here's my son using it as a blanket!
|This picture angle makes him look freakishly long!

You may also be interested in CAT's adoption policies.
Kittens for adoption from foster. Check out our current foster Kitten List (pdf)
To ensure happy, successful life-long adoptions for cats and adopters alike, CAT adopts according to the policies below.
Indoor-Only: Because cats live much longer, safer lives indoors, CAT adopts to indoor-only homes.
In rare cases (typically when cats have persistent behavioral problems, such as inappropriate elimination, for which CAT veterinary staff have found no physical cause), cats may be approved to go to an indoor/outdoor home. Those adopting cats designated for possible indoor/outdoor homes go through CAT's normal adoption process and sign a contract specific to indoor/outdoor situations.
Declawing: CAT asks adopters not to declaw adopted cats. Your adoption counselor can provide information about the detriments of declawing, humane alternatives, and how to train a cat to use a scratching post.
For adopters looking for declawed cats, there are almost always previously declawed cats at CAT awaiting adoption.
Kittens: Kittens must be 8-10 weeks old before they are available for adoption. This ensures that kittens receive a strong, healthy start in life and minimizes behavior problems because they are fully weaned and litter box trained. All kittens are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
Kittens under six weeks of age are listed on CAT's foster care list but are not available for viewing.
FIV+ Cats: CAT has a small number of FIV+ cats available for adoption. These cats can live relatively long and healthy lives in an indoor, stress-free environment. Because there is a risk of FIV transmission to other cats, FIV-positive cats must be adopted as only cats or share homes with cats who are also FIV-positive. (FIV is contagious only between cats; humans, dogs, and other pets cannot contract the disease.)
Renting with Cats: Since we want to make lifelong placements for our cats, we ask that adopters make sure their landlord allows cats and to pay any pet deposits in advance of adopting.
Cats as Gifts: CAT has gift certificates available for those wishing to give a gift adoption. Please note that adopters (the adult or adults with whom the cat will live) must meet with a cat or kitten prior to adoption; choosing a cat is a very personal decision and plays an important role in making a lifelong commitment to a new family member.
Shipping of Cats: We ask adopters to meet with and get to know the cats or kittens prior to adoption. Therefore, we do not ship cats or kittens.
Adoption of Black Cats around Halloween: For the several years, the Cat Adoption Team has not put a halt to the adoption of black cats on Halloween. CAT's adoption counselors are just as vigilant and informative with potential adopters, as they always are, up to and through Halloween. Black or mostly black cats make up the majority of felines available for adoption at the shelter so it doesn't make sense to exclude the shelter's largest population from a chance at a home. There has been no evidence that black cats adopted from shelters are used for mischief in the Portland area over Halloween. From the Oregon Humane Society web site: "Up to and through Halloween, the Oregon Humane Society will be adopting out black cats, black dogs, and even black rats (along with all the other color mixes pets). OHS Humane Investigators assure us that there are no problems for black cats during this time of year and OHS's adoption procedures and policies are in place to make sure all animals go to loving families." CAT joins with other animal shelters in the Portland area and across the country by offering an opportunity for folks to fall in love with black cats any time of the year, including Halloween.
*Kittens on our Foster Kitten list who are 6 weeks and older can be "pre-adopted" and go home after he/she is spayed/neutered.
Because adopting a cat or kitten, or any other pet, is a serious family decision, CAT has a team of adoption counselors trained to assist you with finding the perfect lifetime companion. They will help you get to know your prospective new feline friend, answer questions, and provide information about cat behavior and care.
To adopt a cat or kitten:
Click here for shelter location and hours. If you plan on adopting a cat the same day, please plan to visit the shelter 1-2 hours prior to closing. You can always put a 24-hour hold on a cat if you would like to bring back the rest of your family, or need a little extra time to think about your decision.

HOPKINS COUNTY, Ky. (11/14/13) - A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to close KY 1069/Stagecoach Road in Hopkins County on Friday, Nov. 15, 2013, as part of ongoing work on the new Brown Badgett Loop Connector Bridge Project.
This closure on KY 1069/Stagecoach Road from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., CST, Friday, is to allow additional improvements to a dip near the intersection with the new connector.
By allowing the contractor to close the road to traffic the work can be completed quicker and with a greater level of safety for both workers and the driving public. Additionally, lane restrictions may be required in this area as work continues in coming weeks.
Work to raise the dip in the roadway is to provide better sight-distance at the new intersection.
During the design of the project, engineers carefully examined the dip in KY 1069 near the intersection. An analysis determined that an acceptable line of sight existed. However, as the new intersection started to take shape, KYTC engineers determined that additional improvements were warranted. Raising a small portion of the roadway in the low spot will provide an additional margin of safety at this location.
The closure on KY 1069/Stagecoach Road is at mile point 1.632 between Robert Lane and J.D. Buchanan Road. Message boards have been placed at the site to alert motorists to the planned closure.
Work on the New Brown Badgett Loop Connector Overpass started April 8. It is expected to be ready for traffic around December 1st.

Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods & Kings
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
Customer notes
"Gods and Kings enhances the base game immensely, so much so that I can't imagine playing Civilization V without it." - IGN.com
"Civilization V: Gods and Kings is an eminently worthwhile collection of big and small changes that enhance an already amazing game." - Gamespot.com
Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods and Kings is the first expansion pack for Civilization V - the critically acclaimed 2010 PC Game of the Year. This robust expansion covers the entire scope of time from founding your first Pantheon of the Gods and spreading religion across the world, to deploying your spies in enemy cities in order to steal information and technology.
As you move through the ages, you'll interact with new types of city-states, engage in new city-state quests and global competitions, and master exciting new systems for land and naval combat. Civilization V: Gods and Kings will also include nine new civilizations, nine new wonders, three original scenarios, and dozens of new units, buildings, and techs that will offer even more ways for players to expand their empire and dominate the world.
Key Features:
Expanded Epic Game: The core game experience has been greatly expanded. Additionally, there are even more new units and buildings included in the four new Scenarios for modders to use.
New Civilizations: The expansion will deliver 9 new civilizations, such as Carthage, the Dutch, the Celts, and the Maya (it is 2012, after all), along with their unique traits, units and buildings. The expansion also includes 9 new leaders including William I, Prince of Orange, Boudicca and Pacal the Great.
Religion: A righteous people will seek out Faith to found a Pantheon of the Gods. As your Faith becomes stronger, you can cultivate Great Prophets who build on these simple beliefs to create a religion that you can customize and enhance as desired.
Enhanced Diplomacy and Espionage: Establish embassies at foreign courts for closer ties (or clandestine operations). As the religions of the world start settling in, and the world moves into the Renaissance, you unlock your first spy (with more to come).
City-States: Two new city-state types have been added (Mercantile and Religious) to bring all new advantages to the table. The city-state quest system has received a complete overhaul to decrease the importance of gold and add a whole range of new quests that further the narrative of the game.
World Domination: The fight for world domination is now more dynamic than ever before. The Gods and Kings expansion features a reworked combat system and AI that puts more emphasis on a balanced army composition.
Naval Combat: Your navy is now split into two different ship types, melee and ranged. This means that no coastal city should be considered safe, and can now fall to a surprise naval attack.
New Wonders: There will be 9 new Wonders with all new effects including Neuschwanstein, the Great Mosque of Djenne, the Terracotta Army, the Great Firewall, and the Hubble Space Telescope.
Three new Scenarios: Medieval, Fall of Rome and Empires of the Smoky Skies
Customer reviews
Great expansionpash1k | Oct. 30, 2013 | See all pash1k's reviews »
I love this expansion pack for Civilization V. Religion and espionage are very welcome additions that give you variety and additional strategies.
Religion gives bonuses specific bonuses to your civ, but also another set of bonuses to anybody that follows this religion. This is a nice balancing act of wanting to get something nice for yourself, but also trying to keep from doing anything too nice for your neighbors. Religions will also give you bonuses when it comes to diplomacy.
Espionage lets you see the other cities, and might even let you steal a technology from another civ. You also have a chance to uncover plots against you or against other civs, which gives you leverage. It's nothing huge, but it rounds out the political gameplay nicely.
This is a welcome addition to Civ V, and I highly recommend you pick this up.
A great additionnightassassin1 | Aug. 28, 2013 | See all nightassassin1's reviews »
This DLC expands Civilization V in a good way that fixes some of the old issues and does not cause new ones. It adds some cool new features and city-states as well as religion. Religion was integrated into the Civilization franchise in Civilization IV, which had some big problems concerning religion. This re-integration of it into the franchise is much smoother and is over all better, however it does not do very much. If you spend your time working only on religion you are going to lose and on top of that, it does very little for you. The best strategy is to not even work towards religion. It is useless for the most part, but does add small bonuses. The best bonuses seem to come from happiness modifiers, giving more happiness for religious buildings, amount of citizens following a religion, or any number of other possibilities, however if you were fine without religion before the integration, you will be fine without it still. I just find it a waste of time.
I liked all of the additions from this expansion, but the religion is still not what it needs to be. I expect they will be improving on it soon.
Add a new layer of strategygravekeeper867 | Aug. 21, 2013 | See all gravekeeper867's reviews »
Gods and Kings adds on to an already great game by giving you more options for domination. This add-on gives you the strategic ability to weaken your foes and gain influence in their cities passively, which is great since before the only way you could do this was with money. Now you can turn you nation into a religious society sending priests to enemy nations to sway their people into submission. This add-on allows for more options when trying a cultural or economic victory.
Very Enjoyable, yet not Game-ChangingFearlessHobo | Aug. 4, 2013 | See all FearlessHobo's reviews »
This DLC breathed some new life into a game that was already great, and made it greater. The addition of spies and religion added another tool to build your empire with, and they were implemented well.
Religion, in my opinion, is pretty much perfect. It is respectably important to your empires strength in that the benefits included are fairly significant and missing your chance to found your own religion is a tough hit, but not a crippling one. The religion aspect fits quite snug in the game's dynamics; not making other mechanisms significantly more or less important than they already were.
Espionage however, does not have as great an impact on the course of a game. I enjoy how spying and it's intricacies now take place in it's own menu rather than having to move spies across the map as a land unit. In my experience however, they don't have much of an effect on the outcome of a game. Stealing a technology is fairly significant, however, this normally takes a large amount of turns and doesn't happen to frequently in a game. Sharing intrigue with other Civs and discovering who is plotting against who is the biggest, and most rewarding part about espionage in my opinion.
Overall, this add-on is a great one. The added Civs, mechanics, wonders and units all add to your game-play experience while staying true to the foundations of the game. You'll still be playing for hours!

Nature is your skin's best friend, and its worst enemy. We get a dose of vitamin D just by being outside, but environmental toxins, the sun's ultra violet rays, and allergies can send your beauty regime into overdrive. Brand name beauty products can be expensive, and they don't always do what they promise.
Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett says you can save money with drugstore beauty creams and let mother nature take care of the rest.
Wipe Out Wrinkles
Drugstore creams with antioxidants such as soy or green tea extract, vitamins A, B3, C and E, offer affordable options for beautiful skin. Work from the inside out by eating a half cup of raw red bell peppers, they have twice as much free-radical fighting vitamin C, and a third less calories than a medium orange.
Allies For Puffy Eyes
Besides exercise and diet, there isn't much you can do about puffy eyes. Aging eye ligaments weaken and cause fat to slip down. Combine that with thinning skin and you get bulging under-eye circles. A gentle face massage will drain excess fluid, and a generic antihistamine will reduce swelling due to allergies. Baby shampoo contains lauric acid, which is non-toxic, making it safe for eye-makeup removal.
Bright Hair Brew
Bring out highlights in dyed or natural hair with a tea rinse. Chamomile polishes blond hair, black tea brightens brunettes, and red tea restores red hair's natural luster. Saturate your locks with 8 ounces of cool tea, leave in for 15 to 30 minutes, and then rinse with water.
Lighten Up Dark Spots
Sunscreen is the most affordable and effective way to protect your skin from dark spots. Lycopene, an antioxidant found in orange and red produce, is a natural sunscreen. Half of a pink grapefruit is a rich source, and it's all you need for added sun protection. To diminish spots and protect your skin from environmental damage, make a mask with yogurt, strawberries and lemon juice.
Banish Bothersome Blemishes
Yogurt contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy that gently exfoliates your skin. Applying a thin layer for 10 minutes will help clear clogged pours. Collard greens are a rich source of vitamin A, which normalizes oil production and keeps glands free of debris. Capers contain quercetin, and just two tablespoons a week will calm inflammation and act as an antihistamine.
Bolster your body with these fiscal friendly tips, and your beauty will see a positive return on investment.

White Opal Arts & Crafts Ring
Art Nouveau sensibilities show up through a rhythmic harmony of form and gentle curve of line to combine with an Arts and Crafts aesthetic in the fabrication of this 14k yellow gold brooch transformed into a smashing finger ring. A natural white opal oval cabochon 19 mm by 10 mm and with an estimated weight of 4.8 carats incorporates lively flecks of pastels of purple, blue, green, pink, orange within a lozenge shaped framework of simple design with a focus on craftsmanship.

Adding "Green" to the Kitchen
"The taste of the kitchen is better than the smell." – Thomas Fuller
A kitchen is the heart of a home. A home's kitchen represents connecting with family over meals or gathering with friends. It's where smells and tastes are born which stick with a person throughout their life. Creating memories in a kitchen can be as effortless as making toast but creating the kitchen those memories are born in is a where it all begins.
The first and most important step is the design. Having the ability to incorporate green building elements while maintaining an even flow and energy within the kitchen can be a tall order. To remain as green as possible while achieving a positive chi to a dream kitchen, the right designer is key. The Rocky River Green Home found the right designer in Cleveland's Hall Design Group and owner, David Hall. Interior designer David Hall has specialized in creating elegant kitchens for over 27 years, impressing peers and clients alike.
Hall's previous work caught the eye of the RRGH crew and his eco-minded approach to designing is what really stood out. Being a long-time Yogi, Hall instills balance and life into soul of the home without compromising character. While it's virtually impossible to make a kitchen 100% green and include all of the modern conveniences, David Hall worked with the homeowners and the Krill team to reach the perfect blend of green and grand.
We'll be spending the next few weeks looking at the specific green elements of the Rocky River Green Home kitchen. Here are some of the elements that define the RRGH's modern, green kitchen:
- Quartz countertops (instead of other traditional counter top materials)
- 5 Star Energy star-rated appliances
- Eco friendly plumbing fixtures
- Grey water system for Dishwasher water
- Whole house water purification system
- Bamboo flooring
- Recycled or FSC wood cabinets
- Repurposing the existing cabinets for new kitchen table
- Built in Recycling bins
- Energy monitoring system for appliances and electrical outlets.

NightlifeGreece is well known for its nightlife. The fun doesn't start until ten or eleven in the evening and only ends when the sun rises, or sometimes even later. Greeks are real party animals – they love music, drinking and going out.
Some Greek islands, such as Santorini and Mykonos, turn into proper party islands in the summer. Here you will find streets full of bars and clubs that stay open all night and offer top entertainment. The nightlife on these islands is so intense that the islands are often regarded as one big nightclub that attracts people from all over the world.

Order in the next 5 hours 20 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
The Philips Avent Airflex Newborn Flow Teat has a soft wide shape which encourages your baby to open the mouth wide when feeding and to literally 'latch on' to the teat. He or she can then suckle, using the same movements of their tongue and jaw as they do when breastfeeding.
The Airflex Teat your baby controls milk flow more like breastfeeding, which can help reduce overeating and spit-up. A unique skirt system flexes to allow air into the bottle and promotes healthy, active feeding and reduces colic.
Cannot see that there is any adverse comment that can be made. As an advance on the original 0-3 months teats they feel softer and more encouraging for the baby, to make feeding easier.

A Vending Machine—for Bikes
Click here to see how it works.
Photos courtesy of Chad DeBaker
It's easy to see why Bicycling magazine named Minneapolis "Best Bicycling City" last year. The City of Lakes is also a bike-friendly urban landscape.
The most popular route for cyclists and pedestrians is the Midtown Greenway, which now has a handy self-service bike repair kiosk thanks to local inventors Chad DeBaker and Alex Anderson.
The Bike Fixtation kiosk at the Greenway transit shelter, open from 6 a.m. to midnight, offers an elevated repair stand equipped with eight essential tools, a free air compressor, and a vending machine stocked with energy drinks, snacks, bike accessories, patch kits, and even hand warmers for chilly rides. The kiosk also has tutorials for the novice mechanic on how to use the tools to fix a flat.
The inventors plan to open a second kiosk, and eventually hope to sell Bike Fixtation kiosks in other cities, keeping cyclists across the country cruising after a breakdown.

America's Secret Empire of Drone Bases: Its Full Extent Revealed for the First Time
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
They increasingly dot the planet. There's a facility outside Las Vegas where "pilots" work in climate-controlledtrailers, another at a dusty camp in Africa formerly used by the French Foreign Legion, a third at a big air base in Afghanistan where Air Force personnel sit in front of multiple computer screens, and a fourth that almost no one talks about at an air base in the United Arab Emirates.
And that leaves at least 56 more such facilities to mention in an expanding American empire of unmanned drone bases being set up worldwide. Despite frequent news reports on the drone assassination campaign launched in support of America's ever-widening undeclared wars and a spate of stories on drone bases in Africa and the Middle East, most of these facilities have remained unnoted, uncounted, and remarkably anonymous -- until now.
Run by the military, the Central Intelligence Agency, and their proxies, these bases -- some little more than desolate airstrips, others sophisticated command and control centers filled with computer screens and high-tech electronic equipment -- are the backbone of a new American robotic way of war. They are also the latest development in a long-evolving saga of American power projection abroad -- in this case, remote-controlled strikes anywhere on the planet with a minimal foreign "footprint" and little accountability.
Using military documents, press accounts and other open source information, an in-depth analysis by AlterNet has identified at least 60 bases integral to U.S. military and CIA drone operations. There may, however, be more, since a cloak of secrecy about drone warfare leaves the full size and scope of these bases distinctly in the shadows.
A Galaxy of Bases
Over the last decade, the American use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has expanded exponentially as has media coverage of their use. On September 21st, the Wall Street Journal reportedthat the military has deployed missile-armed MQ-9 Reaper drones on the "island nation of Seychelles to intensify attacks on al Qaeda affiliates, particularly in Somalia." A day earlier, a Washington Post piece also mentioned the same base on the tiny Indian Ocean archipelago, as well as one in the African nation of Djibouti, another under construction in Ethiopia, and a secret CIA airstrip being built for drones in an unnamed Middle Eastern country (suspected of being Saudi Arabia).
Postjournalists Greg Miller and Craig Whitlock reportedthat the "Obama administration is assembling a constellation of secret drone bases for counterterrorism operations in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula as part of a newly aggressive campaign to attack al-Qaeda affiliates in Somalia and Yemen." Within days, the Post also reportedthat a drone from the new CIA base in that unidentified Middle Eastern country had carried out the assassination of radical al-Qaeda preacher and American citizen Anwar al-Aulaqi in Yemen.
With the killing of al-Aulaqi, the Obama Administration has expanded its armed drone campaign to no fewer than six countries, though the CIA, which killed al-Aulaqi, refuses to officially acknowledgeits drone assassination program. The Air Force is less coy about its drone operations, yet there are many aspects of those, too, that remain in the shadows. Air Force spokesman Lieutenant Colonel John Haynes recently told AlterNet that, "for operational security reasons, we do not discuss worldwide operating locations of Remotely Piloted Aircraft, to include numbers of locations around the world."
Still, those 60 military and CIA bases around the world, directly connected to the drone program, tell us a lot about America's war-making future. From command and control and piloting to maintenance and arming, these facilities perform key functions that allow drone campaigns to continued expanding as they have for more than a decade. Other bases are already under construction or in the planning stages. When presented with our list of Air Force sites within America's galaxy of drone bases, Lieutenant Colonel Haynes responded, "I have nothing further to add to what I've already said."

Editor's note: Douglas Mogle is one of six CNN viewers selected to be a part of the Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge program. Follow the "6-pack" on Twitter and Facebook as they train to race the Nautica Malibu Triathlon with Dr. Sanjay Gupta on September 8.
(CNN) -- You can tell a lot about a person by the T-shirts they wear. Each T-shirt has a story to tell -- a story that, in some cases, can span decades.
Where did they go to college? What sports did they play in high school? Do they run 5Ks or marathons?
I, myself, have a favorite T-shirt -- size medium. It's navy blue, and I received it for attending a baseball camp when I was 11.
Attending that camp was one of the highlights of my youth. I wore that T-shirt more than I should have. In high school, I would wear it underneath my soccer and baseball jerseys. In college, it served as my personal pick-up basketball uniform.
I still have that T-shirt. Today, it's resting safely in a drawer at home. The sleeves are missing, and it's a tad tight, but I still have the tee and everything it represents. To me, it stands for countless hours of hard work and sweat. It stands for my love of sports that was second to none.
What would I find if I were to go through your stack of T-shirts? What T-shirts would you be proud of? Which ones would define you?
Getting fit for the family I love
As you know, my goal is to complete the Nautica Malibu Triathlon in September with my fellow Fit Nation teammates. At the end of the race we will undoubtedly be handed an official race T-shirt. (Last year's T-shirt was black and looked really cool.)
Now, I'm not implying that I am running the race solely to inherit another T-shirt, but it will surely be a great reminder of the experience. Needless to say, the T-shirt will be one that I cherish.
When I die, I want the people packing up my belongings to find my collection of old T-shirts. Hopefully, after sifting through the stacks, they'll find my 2013 Malibu triathlon shirt and wonder, "How did he get this? Did he really run a triathlon?"
If only they knew. If only they knew about the hard work that went into earning that T-shirt. That T-shirt will have a story to tell, too. One that began on a cold day in January 2013, and hopefully, one that will never end.
Do you have a favorite T-shirt you'll never give away? Share a photo of it on iReport or Instagram using the hashtag #TshirtTales.

This 2008 GMC Envoy is setup with the Ultimate kayak system.
We started by using the Thule 460 Podium footpack paired with Fitkit 3101 and 65″ Thule Load Bars to attach into the factory siderails on the Envoy.
From here we added a Hullavator on each side of the system. The Hullavator is a load assist kayak rack that will lift the boats from waist height to the top of the vehicle with little effort on the users part.
The Hullavator is capable of carrying/loading boats up to 36″ wide and 75lbs. The Hullavator portion is easily removable when not in use as to not interfere with low clearances.
The base system is also capable of accepting any Thule Ski, Bike or Cargo accessories as well as many Yakima and Inno products. Just another little creation from Rack Attack.
Stay tuned to see what other fun systems we have come up with.

|My Dad loved anything with shrimp, and this Spicy Broiled Shrimp was something I made for him many times.
Quick and Easy Spicy Broiled Shrimp
(Makes 2 servings but can easily be adapted to serve a larger group; recipe inspired by many dinners of "Barbecued Shrimp" devoured during visits to New Orleans and Spicy Shrimp from The Pioneer Woman Cooks.)
1/2 lb. frozen shrimp peeled and deveined with tails left on, thawed overnight in refrigerator
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil (use your best olive oil for this)
1 lemon, cut in half
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 - 1 tsp. Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, or make your own Creole Seasoning Blend
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste (don't add salt if you're using Tony Chachere's seasoning that has salt)
Thaw shrimp overnight in the refrigerator (or thaw in the bag in lukewarm water if you forget to plan ahead.) I used 31-40 count shrimp, so if you're lucky enough to find larger shrimp, increase the cooking time a tiny bit.
Once shrimp are arranged in a single layer, add seasonings in this order:
~drizzle shrimp with olive oil
~squeeze lemon juice over the shrimp (I used a squeezer that catches the seeds)
~sprinkle Worchestershire sauce over the shrimp
~sprinkle Creole Seasoning over the shrimp
~season with salt and fresh ground black pepper (skip the salt if you use Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning which has salt)
Put shrimp under the broiler and cook for 7-8 minutes, or just until the shrimp turn pink and feel barely firm to the touch. Don't overcook. If your shrimp are larger than 31-40 count they may take a minute or two longer to cook, but not much.
Serve hot, with 100% whole wheat bread to mop up the juices if desired.

The TV cable-news network MSNBC runs sermonettes from its anchors during commercial breaks. They are like public-service announcements illuminating the progressive mind, and perhaps none has ever been as revealing and remarkable as the one cut by weekend host Melissa Harris-Perry.
Harris-Perry set out to explain what is, by her lights, the failure to invest adequately in public education. She located the source of the problem in the insidious idea of parental responsibility for children.
"We've always had kind of a private notion of children," she said, in the tone of an anthropologist explaining a strange practice she discovered when out doing far-flung fieldwork. "Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility." So long as this retrograde conception prevails, according to Harris-Perry, we will never spend enough money on children.
"We have to break through," she urged, "our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families."
Her statement wasn't an aside on live television. She didn't misspeak. The spot was shot, produced and aired without, apparently, raising any alarm bells. No one with influence raised his or her hand and said, "Should we really broadcast something that sounds so outlandish?"
The foundation of the Harris-Perry view is that society is a large-scale kibbutz. The title of Hillary Clinton's best-seller in the 1990s expressed the same point in comforting folk wisdom: "It Takes a Village."
As the ultimate private institution, the family is a stubborn obstacle to the great collective effort. Insofar as people invest in their own families, they are holding out on the state and unacceptably privileging their own kids over the children of others. These parents are selfish, small-minded and backward.
"Once it's everybody's responsibility," Harris-Perry said of child-rearing, "and not just the households, then we start making better investments."
This impulse toward the state as uber-parent is based on a profound fallacy and a profound truth. The fallacy is that anyone can care about someone else's children as much as his own. The former Texas Republican Sen. Phil Gramm liked to illustrate the hollowness of professions to the contrary with a story. He told a woman, "My educational policies are based on the fact that I care more about my children than you do." She said, "No, you don't." Gramm replied, "OK: What are their names?"
The truth is that parents are one of society's most incorrigible sources of inequality. If you have two of them who stay married and are invested in your upbringing, you have hit life's lottery. You will reap untold benefits denied to children who aren't so lucky. That the family is so essential to the well-being of children has to be a constant source of frustration to the egalitarian statist, a reminder of the limits of his power.
If the left wants to equalize the investments in children that matter most, it should promote intact families and engaged parents, even if it means embracing shockingly old-fashioned private child-rearing.

'Children of Eden' Is Steven Haines' Swan Song
College-Community Summer Theatre Director Retiring after 40 Years
July 12, 2012
Steven Haines poses on the set of "Children of Eden."
Steven F. Haines recalls directing the College-Community Summer Theatre's early 1980s production of Jesus Christ Superstar as a milestone in his lifelong career in local theatre.
"Superstar turned out the way I saw it in my head," he said while remembering the strong acting and musical performances, and the memorable set featuring scaffolding and a rolling platform. "That was the first show where I thought, 'OK, maybe I am a director.' We deliberately and intentionally decided to break all our own rules. I learned so much about directing from that show."
Flashbacks from 40 years of directing summer theatre offer a nostalgic and usually pleasant diversion from the often-hectic, daily intensity of producing this summer's musical, Children of Eden — his final.
It will run July 19, 20 and 21, at 7:30 p.m., and July 22, at 2:30 p.m., at Wilmington College's Hugh G. Heiland Theatre. Reservations can be made by calling the Theatre Box Office at (937) 382-6661 ext. 267 weekdays, from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
Haines announced his retirement as summer theatre director following the 2012 production.
"I strongly feel it's time that somebody else get involved from the directorial standpoint," he said. "I want to see this summer program continue and still be here in another 20 years. It's time to start transitioning that."
Haines retired in 2008 after 34-plus years with Wilmington City Schools, the latter of which he served as the high school's director of speech and theatre. He said there is no heir apparent ready to be announced, but there are qualified persons in the community that could step into the role of summer theatre director.
"We were 21, 22 years old when we started doing this," he said. "It's unusual to have twenty-somethings start something like this and stay with it as long as we have."
Haines and a group of his Wilmington College theatre contemporaries — Becky Heiland, Anne Carr, David Raizk, John Borrowman and Doug Hinckley — founded the summer theatre in 1972.
A native of Wilmington, the first plays Haines ever saw on stage were the local summer theatre's productions of The Happy Time, Bus Stop and The Matchmaker when he was a seven-year-old in 1958.
"I can tell you what those shows looked like and even exactly where I sat," he said in stressing their profound affect on him.
(LEFT) Steven Haines directs during a sneak preview of several numbers in June during a WC alumni and friends ice cream social at Cape May Retirement Village.
In those days, Wilmington College faculty members Hugh G. Heiland, Lewis Marcuson and Marty Gilbert headed a vital summer theatre program. Summer seasons featured a blend of Wilmington College and community theatre and, during some years, equity professionals with a mix of college students, but, by 1965 or '66, that iteration of the summer program had run its course.
After a few "false starts" in the late 1960s, summer theatre returned when Haines and the stalwarts literally willed it to happen in 1972. They produced five plays on a $250 budget that featured "some modest stuff," a one act by Tennessee Williams and several Harold Pinter review sketches.
"We were young and foolish," he said. "We asked parents and friends of parents for donations — I remember how excited we would get when someone gave us $50."
Haines spoke about how they were "extraordinarily nurtured" by the community, and that community support continues to this day.
"We had grown up in this community and we felt like we were doing something important that the community enjoyed. They have been very faithful to us. As we have grown, some have they," he added. "We had some clunkers early on, but that didn't stop people from coming to see us."
After two years of producing shows that didn't require elaborate sets and properties, they produced an ambitious Hello Dolly in 1974.
"That was one when we thought, 'Are we ready for this?' That summer for me was when things really took off. We did real theatre that summer," he said, noting that Hello Dolly was a major cog in his evolution as a director.
"You learn with every step you take," he said, adding that many other shows from the last 40 years come to mind as part of that process.
There's South Pacific, Haines' favorite Rodgers and Hammerstein show. However, he's purposely steered clear of their classic musicals like Oklahoma! and The King and I in favor of shows he finds more challenging and interesting to the actors, audience and himself.
"I've been directing for 40 years and part of the choice of shows is to keep oneself interested," he said.
Jason Robert Brown's musical, Parade, was certainly one of those. Titanic: The Musical "turned into its own event," he said, and Stephen Sondheim musicals obviously hold a special place in Haines' heart.
"Into the Woods, A Little Night Music, Follies, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Sunday in the Park with George, the whole set of Sondheim shows we've done has been very important to me," he said. "I think they were fine shows."
Include this year's Children of Eden among that preferred list too. Haines said the musical was "much loved" when they produced it in 2000 so doing an updated staging of it makes perfect sense as the 40th anniversary show.
"We knew we needed to give the community something they would recognize that was family friendly," he said, noting the cast of nearly 50 includes a dozen persons new to the summer experience, in addition to the many veterans and summer theatre regulars.
"We're not doing it the way we did it 12 years ago. It will be different. But that's the ephemeral nature of theatre — it's a one of kind experience."
Whether it's Hello Dolly in 1974 or Children of Eden this summer, Haines cited the "wonderful performers" as a constant of the past 40 years.
"We've had terrific performers from the outset," he said in praising a community rich with talented actors, musicians and others interested in various aspects of musical theatre.
He added that the evolution of summer theatre also has achieved technical and visual capabilities never fathomed as possible years ago.
The founders of summer theatre can look back upon the last 40 years with a sense of pride for what they started and sustained — and have accomplished.
While most have moved on since that summer of '72, Haines and his wife, Becky Heiland Haines, have been the mainstays of summer theatre with Raizk also having a summer theatre continuity that has included directing and acting every few years.
One gains an even greater appreciation for what Haines and company have created over the last four decades when considering that live theatre does not include an instruction manual and canned recordings with an accompanying crate of costumes and unfolding, fully assembled sets pulled off trucks that pull up to the stage door.
"I get the biggest kick out of that," he said. "I still get asked, 'Where do you buy your sets and costumes?
"We get a book and there are words and music in that book — that's all. Everything else comes out of our collective, creative imaginations. We think it up!
"But that's one of the things I love about theatre — to watch ideas and energy turn into something tangible for two hours on stage."
