Hope you all had a marvelous Thanksgiving yesterday! I had family in town, including my niece and brother-in-law. Steve, the bro-in-law in question, has a kind of genius for synthesizing down P.D.

Human food that's OK for dogs to eat
Published On: Jul 31 2013 10:43:18 AM CDT
When you sit down for dinner, some dogs will casually sit under the table just hoping for a table scrap to fall, or for his or her owner to give in and offer him a morsel.
While it's OK to occasionally give your dog human food, just make sure that it's a food that's OK for dogs to eat, as many foods that are safe for humans can be dangerous to dogs.
According to dog expert Cesar Millan, here are some human foods that are OK for dogs to eat:
- Peanut butter
- Cheese
- Cooked chicken
- Baby carrots
- Yogurt
- Salmon
- Pumpkin
- Eggs
- Green beans
- Apples (cut into slices)
- Cooked oatmeal

BBC NEWS | England | Eco-sailors rescued by oil tanker
An expedition team which set sail from Plymouth on a 5,000-mile carbon emission-free trip to Greenland have been rescued by an oil tanker.
The team, which left Mount Batten Marina in Plymouth on 19 April in a boat named the Fleur, aimed to rely on sail, solar and man power on a 580-mile (933km/h) journey to and from the highest point of the Greenland ice cap.
The expedition was followed by up to 40 schools across the UK to promote climate change awareness.
But atrocious weather dogged their journey...

See also part I - white, sweet and sparkling wines
Prices are given in pounds sterling (£5=$8). The tasting was not blind.
Guigal (France, Rhône) Rosé Côte-du-Rhône 1997 - £6.49
Quite a stalky note to the nose of this, a bit of sulphur too, then earth and smokiness. Reasonable red fruit on the palate, but a bit dull.
Couly-Dutheil (France, Loire) Chinon Rouge "Les Garous" 1997 - £5.99
Beautifully creamy nose of ripe red berries, earth and spice. Palate is very dry and has lean, sinewy tannins. There is firm-edged blackcurrant fruit. Better on nose than palate, but might benefit if drunk with food.
Château de Meursault (France, Burgundy) Marsannay Rouge 1996 - £9.99
Vegetal, damp, undergrowth aromas then some minty, ripe red fruit. Palate is silky textured and light with a good quality of raspberry and strawberry fruit. Tannins and acidity are noticeable but in balance. Good.
Melbourne Wine Company (Australia) Pinot Noir 1998 - £7.99
Very light, jammy fruit (carbonic maceration?). Lots of strawberry and sweet rasberry. Palate is soft and fruity, though there are good background tannins to support. Good.
Merlot VdP de la Haute Vallee de l'Aude (France) 1998 - £3.49
Ripe, forward nose of black fruits and an earthy note. Quite a juicy, serious palate with an earthy, charcoally edge to blackcurrant fruit. Good balance with a decent finish. Very good value for money, and good with casseroles or grilled meats.
Château Guiot (France) Costičres de Nîmes 1998 - £4.99
Lovely smoky, gravelly, earth and spice-box nose. Fruit on the palate is cool and creamy, if a little thin. Quite good.
Château Guiot (France) Mas de Guiot 1998 - £5.99
High, creamy, blackcurrant and mint nose. A smoky, mineral note adds a lot of interest. Good quality of ripe plum and blackberry fruit. Very good.
Alain Brumont (France) Madiran "Meinjarre" 1997 - £5.99
Vegetal nose with plummy fruit, some sweeter blackberry notes and again a smoky quality. Palate has dusty black fruit restrained by drying tannins. Quite long, this is growing on me. Good balance and quite a serious style. Very good.
Château de Haute Serre (France) Cahors 1998 - £8.99
Deep mulberry fruit on the nose. A little bit dank and weedy perhaps, but then there's a minty, sasparilla top-note too. Palate is very grippy and lean but there's a core of blackcurrant fruit that persists. Finish is clean and long. Good.
Château de Nardon (France) Bordeaux Supérieur 1997 - £5.49
Smoke, charcoal and a little dill-like note. Palate is quite juicy, with decent fruit and balance.
Château Tour Saint Paul (France) Bordeaux Supérieur 1997 - £5.99
A little lean and green with modest fruit. Palate is tannic, there's some creamy red fruit, but unexciting.
Château l'Abbaye de St-Ferme (France) Bordeaux Supérieur 1998 - £5.99
Creamy and cool on the nose with sweet, ripe black fruit. Quite restrained and classy on the palate, nicely balanced with a good quality of fruit. Nice.
Château Lamartine (France, Bordeaux) Côtes de Castillon 1997 - £6.49
Old wood and stalky black fruit, a little vegetal. Palate is better, showing reasonable fruit and moderate tannins/acidity. Not a great package all-round.
Vieux Château Champs de Mars (France, Bordeaux) Côtes de Castillon 1997 - £8.99
Lean, slightly green, but good cherry and plum fruit on the nose. Medium-bodied with a savoury palate showing a seam of blackcurranty fruit, fresh tannins and good balancing acidity. A nice food wine.
Château Morin (France, Bordeaux) St-Estčphe 1997 - £9.99
Light red berry fruit of raspberry and cherries. A nice gravelly edge. Palate is quite serious and chewy with fine blackcurrant fruit and a sense of density. Flavoursome and balanced, quite long too. Good.
Heritage de Château Le Boscq (France, Bordeaux) St-Estčphe 1996 - £11.49
Juicy, ripe blackcurrant fruit - quite sweet and aromatic. Very pure. Palate is a little disappointing, with highish acidity and firm tannins outweighing fruit. Might come round with a couple of years cellaring.
Château Rose La Biche (France, Bordeaux) Haut-Médoc 1996 - £12.99
Weedy nose, jammy fruit and tomato aromas. Weak and rather non-descript.
Château Haut Lavallade (France, Bordeaux) St-Emilion Grand Cru 1996 - £13.99
Bright, focused berry fruit. Blackberries and damsons, but light and creamy. Palate is dry and savoury and although there's good balance, the fruit is a little disappointing. Another that might be a little dumb and could come round.
Connétable de Château Talbot (France, Bordeaux) St-Julien 1996 - £14.99
Smoky and savoury with a vegetal quality, earthy and animal aromas over spicy cherry fruit. Palate is balanced if a little lightweight, but quite elegant fruit and fine, silky tannins as well as some sweet oak in the finish. Good.
Château Le Crock (France, Bordeaux) St-Estčphe 1995 - £16.49
Sweet, ripe and aromatic blue/black fruits. Juicy cherries and plenty of acidity, with tart cherry-skin flavours and a nice chewy personality. Rather good.
Château Jordi (France, Bordeaux) Haut-Médoc 1989 - £17.99
Vanilla-infused red berry nose with sweet oak and hints of tobacco and earth. Palate has plenty of sweet fruit too, but also a leathery appeal and mature, fine tannins. A nice, juicy mouthful of claret that is drinking well. Ideal for Christmas dinner?
Château de Sales (France, Bordeaux) Pomerol 1996 - £21.99
Very creamy and rich with firm black fruits, currants and plums. Very firm and classy palate has spice, oak and blackberry fruit, good tannins and a long, firm finish. Very good and will cellar.
Guigal (France, Rhône) Gigondas 1996 - £9.99
A neighbour of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and made from a very similar blend of grapes. This has a lovely creamy, ripe sweet black fruit of blueberries and blackcurrants. Plenty of sweet oak on the palate, nicely balanced fruit and acidity and fine tannins. Good.
Domaine Cailloux (France, Rhône) Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1997 - £13.49
Ripe black fruits and bags of cracked black pepper on the nose, spice and caramel. Highly extracted with plenty of dusty black fruit, rich, earthy tannins and good balance. Very good.
Sigilo Primo (Italy) Primitivo de Salento 1998 - £4.99
Big, meaty, vegetal nose. Loads of dark fruit, but leathery and dense with a spice and pepper edge. Packed with similar fruit in the mouth, rustic and chewy with crunchy berries and a solid, tannic finish. Good length. Very good indeed.
Wynns (Australia) Coonawarra Shiraz 1997 - £6.99
(down to £4.99 when you buy two until January)
Dense chocolate, pepper and spice on the nose as well as plenty of juicy black fruit. Rich palate, lots of intense, minty berry fruit that is full, long and persistant. Very good - great at the discounted price.
Mount Langi Ghiran (Australia) Shiraz Grenache 1997 - £8.99
Sweet, high, mint and vanilla nose with blueberry fruit. Aromatic, with a kirsch quality. Terrific cedary character on the palate with charcoal and black fruits. This is savoury, long and spicy. Very good.
Kangarilla Road (Australia) Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc/Malbec 1997 - £8.99
Quite herbaceous and leafy with a tomato edge to red berry flavours, but not unpleasant. Dense, creamy berries on the palate held up by fine tannins, but soft and deliciously quaffable.
Kangarilla Road (Australia) Shiraz 1997 - £8.99
High, charcoally quality with a toffeed edge to sweet blackberry fruit. Some white pepper. Palate is a little underpowered perhaps, but is quite refined and cool with a lemony acidity keeping it fresh. Might be more food-friendly than some Ozzy Shiraz.
Bethany (Australia) Barossa Valley Grenache 1998 - £6.49
Big, typically grenache nose, sweet and fruity with an almost burnt quality, plenty of savoury nuances. Broad acid base to spicy fruit and a little caramel note. Good balance. Good.
Bethany (Australia) Barossa Valley Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 - £7.99
A touch stalky, but mint, charcoal, then deep chocolate and spice notes. Nice palate is concentrated and fruity, plenty of vanillin oak and plenty of spiciness into the long finish. Very good.
Bethany (Australia) Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 1997 - £9.99
Slightly vegetal, leafy, modest fruit on the nose. Blackcurrant and subtle, creamy oak. Palate again is quite restrained with plum and blackberry fruit and a firm edge from acidity and grippy tannins. Chewy, savoury and well balanced.
Taylors (Portugal) "First Estate" - £7.99
Black cherries, charcoal and bitter-sweet chocolate on the nose. Palate is quite rich and dense, plenty of sweet chocolaty fruit then good tannins keeping it fresh. Good.
Taylors LBV Port 1992 - £10.99
Old wood, blackcurrant and wood-smoke nose. Palate is medium-sweet, with firm tannins, vanilla and ripe black fruits. Quite high-toned, with tongue-tingling acidity. Rather good.
Taylors 10 Year Old Tawny Port - £16.49
Nutty element to sweet black fruit on the nose, nuances of caramel and dark chocolate. There are nice aromatic notes of violets and exotic spice. Good fruit on palate too, firm tannins and highish acidity, though not unbalanced. Good plus.
Taylors Quinta de Terra Feita Port 1986 - £17.99
Better than the '82 of this tasted recently. Restrained black fruit nose with charcoally edge to blackberry and spice. Palate is just a little raw, but there is plenty of good red berry fruit and a creamy roundness that keeps it sweet into the long finish. Good.
Croft Quinta da Roeda Port 1983 - £12.99
Sweet violet and aromatic rose-hip fruit. Nice muscavado sugar richness too. Slinky, sweet black fruit on the palate with a mollasses richness and firm black cherry and blackcurrant edge. There's an orange note in there too. Nice balance and an excellent Port at the price. Drinking well.
Dow's Quinta do Bonfim 1986 - £19.99
Raisins, black fruit and cherry-cola nose. Modest fruit on the palate, plenty of fresh acidity, but lacks any sexiness.

Death Valley
It takes about two and half hours to drive from Las Vegas to Furnace Creek Visitor Center at Death Valley, where we stopped to check out the museum and buy souvenirs. Our day was supposed to be easy one with no hikes, just sightseeing. We head to Devi's Golf Course, a vast expanse of jagged formations with salt deposits formed by drying up of lakes. We next stopped at Bad Water Basin, which is known for the one of the toughest ultra marathons. It's one of those lower than the sea level places like Dead Sea, Sabkhat Ghuzayyil, Turpan Pendi etc. A wide white trail is formed in Bad Water Basin due to people walking on it. Apparently the water there is so salty that even the ass, I mean donkey, of some bloke refused to drink the water and that bloke called it Bad Water and hence the name. We then head to Artist's palate after which we wanted to be Zabriskie Point for sunset, but the sun ended up setting right while we were somewhere on Artist's drive. Artist's drive's got mountains made of vivid coloured earth which brought back to me the memories of Lamayuru in Ladakh. It was twilight when we went to Zabriskie Point, where I put my tripod to use for the first time in the trip. Zabriskie point has got a breathtaking panoramic vista of erosional landscape formed by dried up Furnace Creek Lake millions of years ago. We then drove to a small little town called Beatty and checked into a motel.
The next day we stopped at the sand dunes before heading to Telescope peak trail head at Mahogany flat. The drive to Mahogany Flat is a meandering one both horizontally and vertically which I so loved, the last stretch is not asphalted and has boulders on it, an SUV is definitely recommended. We stopped at Charcoal Kilns for few clicks which is a couple of miles before the trail head and it has a restroom. Mahogany Flat has a campground as well and the trail to Telescope peak which is about 7.1 miles long starts there. The trail is quite rocky, picturesque, lot less crowded, not too tough and has no toilets or any other touristic amenities. Despite the pain in my left knee, I loved this hike for its desolation and views. The last stretch of Telescope peak had traces of snow and it was very cold, it took us about 3 hours to reach the summit. Summit is windy and cold and it offers a 360 degree panoramic view of Death Valley, for telescope peak is the highest peak with an elevation of 11000 feet. After finishing the sandwich, signing the guest book, clicking few pictures we started our descent back which was harder on my knees. One last pint of beer was waiting for me in the car which helped me to recover quicker from my pain.
Death Valley, geographically and geologically, is a very special place. Colourful mountains, eroded landscape, dried up salt lakes, weird formations, smooth silky sand dunes and many more geographical features are in store here. It's definitely not known for landscapes that Grand Canyon or Yosemite or Lassen offers, it may cause disappointment in some with such expectations. However, I liked it for what it is.

A wedding cruise is a spectacular way to celebrate your wedding, honeymoon or a special anniversary. Getting married on a cruise allows you to combine your ceremony and reception with a cruise honeymoon and offers the option of your family and friends joining you on the holiday.
A wedding cruise is a blissfully romantic experience and has all the ingredients necessary for sheer indulgence, including excellent facilities, fantastic cuisine, five-star service and great entertainment. Plus, you can leave all the planning to the ship's staff. Getting married on a cruise really is the perfect option when it comes to taking care of all the arrangements in a hassle-free way.
Honeymoons at sea are growing in popularity and during a wedding voyage, cruise lines often offer a range of additional extras. If you are getting married on a cruise, the bonuses include a reception hosted by the Captain, commemorative formal photographs, bathrobes to take home, spa treatments, cabin upgrades, champagne and honeymoon cruise certificates.
Weddings & Vow Renewals
If you are looking for a wedding cruise, then it's reassuring to know that most cruise lines offer full service weddings. Some have chapels on-board their ships where the ceremony can be held, or alternatively, the wedding can be organised ashore at one of your ports of call. The cruise line will cut through all the red-tape and arrange such details as musicians, cakes, flowers, confetti and even wedding photos. Getting married on a cruise is not only totally romantic, but completely hassle-free.
Whatever you choose, you can be sure that your life's journey together will begin in luxurious style and you will take home memories that will last a lifetime. Generally, a wedding package will include:
- A personalized ceremony
- Wedding coordinator services
- Flowers, cake, champagne, a photo album and a keepsake wedding certificate
- Services such as photography, live music, receptions and pampering appointments, which can also be added to customize your wedding cruise package
It's important to know that regulations require that the ship has to be either in port, or less than three miles from land for the wedding licence to be valid. Only Azamara Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises and Cunard offer weddings at sea with legal, captain-led wedding ceremonies.
Whatever the anniversary, cruise lines will do their utmost to help mark the occasion and recreate the romance of the special day. Some cruise lines offer packages to commemorate special anniversaries such as silver or golden weddings. Packages include gifts, a cake or champagne to your cabin, or complimentary first-class transfers from home to the departure port. These can be booked prior to sailing or when on-board.

"There was a young woman named BrightFaster-Than-Light Travel is a staple of Space Opera that allows an "out" to the unfortunate fact that space is honking big, making it impossible (within physics as we understand it now) to get anywhere remotely interesting within the average lifetime of a civilization. This has been an issue for writers since The Fifties or so; before then you could get away with having your aliens come from Neptune without totally losing the audience. Today, it is widely understood that in order for the protagonists to be able to plausibly visit a new Planet of Hats every week, they need to travel through space at speeds faster than that of light itself. The problem is that as far as present-day science is concerned, going faster than — or even just as fast as — the speed of light is, for all human intents and purposes, impossible. See Analysis for more of this. Of course, writers may wave away the issues surrounding FTL travel by invoking incredible advances in future technology, or they may simply not worry about the complications too much at all. In either case, explaining how people may travel from Earth to the edge of the Galaxy in less than an hour will generally involve equipping a Cool Starship with some kind of "exotic" propulsion system, which, approximately, holds the normal laws of physics in abatement. This is the Faster Than Light Drive. The exact mechanism varies, but more detailed works may explain how the system avoids the lightspeed limitation. There are three broad favorites:
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night."

'Flame' virus strikes computers in Middle East
Don Hankins/Flickr
The Flame computer virus rivals Stuxnet in size and complexity. It is believed to be a cyber espionage tool that steals information from computers.
Move over Stuxnet. There's a new super virus spreading through computers in the Middle East. It's been dubbed "Flame," by the Russian security firm Kaspersky.
In addition to Iran, Flame has shown up in Egypt, Israel, Syria and Sudan. It is unclear where the virus came from but it shows patterns similar to the Stuxnet virus.
Flame is able to steal private information by reading e-mails, recording keystrokes and even turning on a computer's internal microphone to secretly record conversations in the room.

Oman warns on military confrontation with Iran
March 18, 2012 04:29 PMBy Martina Fuchs
MUSCAT: Oman, located strategically on the opposite side of the Strait of Hormuz from Iran, said the risk of military conflict between Tehran and the West was rising but there was still plenty of opportunity to negotiate peace.
Iran has repeatedly denied charges by Western nations it is developing the capability to build nuclear weapons, but the United States and European Union have recently imposed tougher sanctions in an effort to convince Tehran to curb its nuclear program.
"It is in the interest of both sides to come to the middle road," Yousuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah, the sultanate's minister responsible for foreign affairs, told Reuters at the Foreign Ministry in Muscat.
"We can see that the threat of an unfortunate flash of military confrontation is more possible rather than it is remote."
Oman on several occasions has acted as an intermediary between Iran and the West.
Last year, Oman's Sultan Qaboos bin Said facilitated the release of two U.S. hikers held by Tehran for spying, and three French aid workers held hostage by Yemeni tribesmen were freed in November after Oman negotiated their release.
Speculation has grown in recent months that Israel, with or without U.S. support, may launch some form of preemptive military strike against Iranian nuclear installations, which the Jewish state sees as a threat to its existence.
'Mossad, CIA agree Iran has yet to decide to build nuclear weapon'
New York Times report quotes senior American officials who believe there is little disagreement between Israeli and U.S. intelligence over Iran's nuclear program, despite calls for a strike by Israeli officials.
Israel's intelligence services agree with American intelligence assessments that there is not enough proof to determine whether Iran is building a nuclear bomb, according to a report published Sunday in the New York Times.
The newspaper said that senior American officials believe there is little disagreement between the Mossad and U.S. intelligence agencies over Iran's nuclear program, despite the fact that Israeli political leaders have been pushing for quick action to block Iran from becoming what they describe as an existential threat.
The report further quoted one former senior American intelligence official who states that the Mossad "does not disagree with the U.S. on the weapons program," adding that there is "not a lot of dispute between the U.S. and Israeli intelligence communities on the facts."
According to the New York Times, the extent of the evidence the spy agencies have collected is unclear since most of their findings are classified. However, intelligence officials say they have been throwing everything they have at the Iranian program.
The United States and Israel share intelligence on Iran, American officials said. For its spying efforts, Israel relies in part on an Iranian exile group that is labeled a terrorist organization by the United States, the Mujahedeen Khalq, or M.E.K., which is based in Iraq, says the report.
Iraq approves Hormuz oil exports contingency plan [Reuters]
Sun Mar 18, 2012 9:57am EDT By Ahmed Rasheed
BAGHDAD, March 18 (Reuters) – Iraq has approved a plan to expand its oil export routes by adding capacity from its northern fields and building a pipeline to ship oil from southern fields to Ceyhan in Turkey, a government spokesman said. The contingency plan was set by the government's energy and economic committee to deal with any potential crisis should Iran close the Strait of Hormuz, which would halt about 80 percent of Iraq's oil exports. Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, used for a third of the world's seaborne oil trade, if Western moves to ban Iranian crude exports crippled its energy sector. "Short and mid-term plans will be through boosting crude pumping and upgrading export capacity via Ceyhan port in Turkey. Also to increase the number of trucks that are shipping crude," government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said on Sunday. Iraq exported 2.014 million barrels per day in February, including 1.711 million bpd from its southern oil hub of Basra and via exports terminal in the Gulf, and 375,000 bpd from its northern fields around Kirkuk to Ceyhan. Dabbagh said plans approved by the government were a short-term measure based on recommendations from the oil ministry, and said stepping up efforts to convince Iran and the United States of the need to avoid closing the Strait of Hormuz. "The oil ministry suggested accelerating work to complete building the north strategic pipeline and connect it to the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to export oil from Basra via Ceyhan port," Dabbagh said. Iraq has also been moving ahead with building a 680 kilometre pipeline able to transport 1 million bpd of crude from southern oilfields around Basra to a main pumping station in Haditha in the west, an oil ministry spokesman said. "We managed to complete constructing 200 km of the pipeline with plans to finish all work in 2013. We will have the flexibility of shipping Basra crude to various destinations, including towards Ceyhan port," Asim Jihad said. The Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline has come under sabotage attacks many times since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, and frequently breaks down due to technical faults.
Iran, USA reinforce Hormuz Strait defence with minehunters [AGI]
(AGI) Washington- The US navy has strengthened its flotilla in the Persian Gulf's Strait of Hormuz with four more minehunters.
Alongside the fifth fleet in Bahrain, the Pentagon has readied the vessels and four CH-53 Sea Stallion with mine-detecting equipment for departure. The aim, admiral Jonathan W. Greenert explained, is to reinforce security in the narrow Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman, through which 20% of the world's oil passes; a strategic point which Iran has repeatedly threatened to blockade in case of an attack on its nuclear facilities. In January Iran's chief military official warned the U.S. to not send any more aircraft carriers to the Persian Gulf after the USS John C. Stennis traversed Hormuz.
Navy says it will add ships to Persian Gulf amid Iran threats [World Now]
by Tony Perry
REPORTING FROM SAN DIEGO — The U.S. Navy is upgrading its defensive and offensive capabilities in the Persian Gulf to counter threats from Iran to seize the Strait of Hormuz and block the flow of oil, the chief of naval operations said Friday.
Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert told reporters in Washington that the Navy will add four more mine-sweeping ships and four more CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters with mine-detection capability. The Navy is also sending more underwater unmanned mine-neutralization units to the region.
Greenert said he plans to assign more patrol craft to the gulf, possibly armed with Mark 38 Gatling guns. The same kind of guns might be placed on ships that provide protection for U.S. aircraft carriers or perhaps on the carriers themselves.
U.S. ships have excellent long-range defenses but could use weapons for closer combat, Greenert said.
"It's like being in an alley with a rifle and maybe what you need is a sawed-off shotgun," he said.
The Iranians have boasted that they could "swarm" large U.S. ships with their smaller, fast-moving craft. They have also reportedly been laying mines along their coastline.
The narrow Strait of Hormuz is a key transit way for oil tankers. Any closure of the strait could send oil prices skyrocketing, officials say.
In January, the chief of the Iranian army warned the U.S. not to send another ship to the Persian Gulf after the aircraft carrier John C. Stennis departed. Another carrier, the Abraham Lincoln, entered the gulf weeks later without incident.
Greenert told reporters at the Defense Writers Group that he was aboard the John C. Stennis as it left the gulf through the Strait of Hormuz.

In 1989, Young At Art began as a small, 3,200-square-foot children's museum dedicated to shaping young minds and enriching the community through the transformative power of art. Since then, the tiny workshop has grown into a 55,000-square-foot collection of activities celebrating the diverse influences of art on our lives and imaginations, garnering a rare accreditation by the American Association of Museums for its efforts. At ArtScapes—one of the four main exhibits—kids and their parents travel through The Cave, a frantic slideshow of images conveying 5,000 years of human history, step into a replica of a New York City subway car, and view examples of graffiti as a means of creative expression against the oppressive forces of aluminum spray cans.
Elsewhere, WonderScapes transports children up to 4 years old to a world inspired by the illustrations of DeLoss McGraw, whose version of Alice in Wonderland won the Society of Illustrators Book of the Year award in 2002, and GreenScapes demonstrates the immutable intersection of art and the environment as visitors build sculptures from natural materials. Never ones to ignore their creativity, teenagers can find refuge in the Teen Center, where a graphic design lab with Mac computers and a recording studio let them convert their pre-calc homework into digital form before it's too late.
For 17 years, Flamingo Gardens has gathered plant experts, landscapers, and other gardening connoisseurs to its annual festival. This year, the Broward Bonsai Society joins in the fun with an exhibition of the varied shapes and levels of perfection its miniature trees can hold. Displays from Alexander Farms, Greenhouse Orchids, and other vendors entice the eyes while guests wander about, taking in colorful performances from butterfly stilt-walkers and West African drummers. At the Butterfly Encounter, guests learn lepidopterist lore from expert Mike Rich while feeding live butterflies and teaching them about the updated food pyramid.
Wee ones, meanwhile, can head to the Kids Gardening Zone to decorate their own pots and plant a seed or romp through the gardens on a scavenger hunt. Plant experts also hold classes and demonstrations, including "Mounting Orchids & Basic Orchid Culture," and take guests on guided tours through the botanical gardens.
At the Art Institute of Weston, master artist Conchita Firgau and her associate professors lead students of all ages in learning the classic style of European painting. Drawing on traditions of color, light, and composition practiced by Renaissance painters, Conchita and her staff give students the confidence and skill to develop their own style. But painting is not the only activity that goes on here. Photography classes help shutterbugs master digital cameras, and guitar classes use fun, easily digestible techniques to give more credibility to students' air-guitar performances. The friendly studio also hosts after-school programs and camps to hone kids' artistic talents.
Arthur Stone spent six decades assembling the collection of classic Packard autos that makes up the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum. His love for the Packard's combination of engineering and elegance has resulted in the United States' largest Packard collection, containing one model from each year of the company's 58-year existence. The museum's 30,000-square-foot space mirrors the look of a 1920s Packard showroom, with heraldic-style gas-station signs hanging above gleaming specimens of auto history, all restored to full working order.
Models such as the 2201 Woodie wagon from 1948 demonstrate the manufacturer's innovation amid changing times, and the 1909 18 Speedster evokes an era when saddled cheetahs shared roads with cars. Original concept-design drawings line the walls, and an expansive library contains shelves laden with periodicals and fascinating reading materials.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places and located in the heart of the city, Stranahan House stands as one of the few remaining shadows of Fort Lauderdale's pioneer heritage. The house was constructed in 1901 by the eponymous Frank Stranahan as a trading post for early settlers, native Seminole Indians, and the now-extinct verbose alligator. After the burgeoning town appropriated it for use as a post office, town hall, and more through the decades, historians painstakingly restored it to its 1913–1915 glory. On three daily tours lasting 45 to 60 minutes, expert guides lead local history buffs through its rooms, detailing the house's multitudinous uses, showing off its Victorian furniture, and offering a glimpse into the vernacular architecture of the bygone era.
The ISHOF Museum houses the world's largest collection of aquatic memorabilia and is the single-largest source of aquatic books, manuscripts, and literature.

Brutus has been adopted!
Brutus is a short-legged Cocker mix who came to us as if he were going on a day trip. The last thing he expected was to be left behind. He is sad and confused. Brutus is almost two years old, housetrained and really, really cute ... well, at least he was when he thought he was just visiting. Now he hangs his head and cowers in the corner. He doesn't know what to expect.
If you are considering adopting a dog, please think about how much your new pet will depend on you and how hard it will be for him if you decide you just don't want him anymore.
We wlll be sitting with Brutus as much as we can and our volunteers will also do what they can to help him feel safe and loved until we can find a new home for this sensitive little guy.

How Did We Spend Our Summer Vacation?
A Seasonal Story of Success and Thanks
October 2013
Summer is the time of year when many people take a break from everyday life and get involved with a wide assortment of activities that make them smile and feel satisfied. Some spend a week at the shore, go mountain biking, take a cruise, go to camp, visit friends, read books, learn something new, and so many other exciting and fulfilling options.
At Vieques Humane Society we don't really have a chance to take a summer break. The work continues no matter what the season, but that doesn't mean the things we do aren't exciting and fulfilling. During the summer of 2013 this is what we accomplished: (Click here to read more).
UPDATE: Val's Swim for the Satos
October, 2013
On August 30, 2013, VHS supporter Val McDyer set out to swim the Dardanelles Strait between Turkey and Europe for the benefit of the VHS satos. Weather conditions were the worst ever, and only 197 swimmers out of 530 met success. After giving it her all, Val was forced out of the water to avoid the risk of being swept out to sea. Her efforts raised $3,070 in sponsorships for VHS. Knowing Val, she is already thinking of the challenge she'll try next year to support a worthy cause...we're all very proud of her.

The annual Hellespont Swim takes place in the Dardanelles Strait, Hellespont, Turkey

Lucky Joe Was Adopted!......................March 2013
So often shelters choose to euthanize dogs who have been around for a while. They are getting older. They just don't appear to be likely adoption candidates. And more dogs, new dogs, come in every day. That might have been the scenario for Lucky Joe who arrived at VHS as a yearling in 2008. But they say that every dog has his day, and Lucky Joe finally got his! After five years of waiting, he was discovered by Anne and Jay Bryant from Seattle Washington. Now he now has the forever home he's waited for so long. We're thrilled!
Read Lucky Joe's story… [Click Here]
Our volunteer Mary Anne Mather, who wrote this piece in the winter of 2011, always had a soft spot for Lucky Joe. She couldn't have been happier when she got the call that he's "going home."
Aleida and Dr. Pedro Watlington ready to help you and your pets
The Vieques Humane Society site is here to provide you with a place to search for and adopt a new best friend, and to keep you posted on upcoming events and new developments at the shelter.
We are a private non-profit humane agency caring for more than 1,000 animals each year and we rely solely on private donations. We are an open admission shelter with no time limit on hope. The Vieques Humane Society is much more than a shelter...it is a shelter with unconditional love just waiting for you.
We strive to assure a better life for companion animals by providing shelter, veterinary care, finding loving homes, and promoting respect for their place in our lives.
"Begging for Blocks"
We want to build a wall around the Animal Shelter compound so that we can care for young horses without fear of their theft in the night. We need about 2100 cinder blocks to construct the wall. If you have extra blocks please drop them off at the shelter, or contribute to our Wall Building Fund so we can buy them.
VHS Thrift Store - Wed, Thur, Sat 10 til 3
Because of the generosity of Rick Gallup and Honor Stanley, the Vieques Humane Society holds their weekly garage sales in the building that is located just east of the Vieques Air Link office. Because we now have a larger building, we are now welcoming donations of furniture and appliances as well as clothes and household items.
You may drop donations off at the Store during our operating hours - Please do not leave donations outside the building or at the Vieques Humane Society Shelter in Santa Maria.

The neurotechnology lab works at the interface between brain and computer. They aim to create a closed loop brain-computer interface system that manipulates the communication between a human operator and the computer system. There are many potential applications for this approach, ranging from developing systems that use brain signals (such as EEG) to modify the computer task difficulty in order to maximize task performance, to the development of brain-computer interfaces that allow control of a computer program without an input device such as a touch screen, joystick, or mouse. The BME neurotechnology lab focuses on leveraging the strengths of both the human visual system and current machine learning and signal processing technology to maximize performance.

Marvellous condo
Our family (from 5-45) had a great stay at the home- the condo was spotlessly clean and exactly as described- or even better! The owners were extremely helpful and their service exceeded all of our expectations. I must admit at first I was wondering if this home would be too far from Disney - no need to worry, this home is only 10 minutes away from Disney, we could not have chosen any better home away from home. Many thanks to Clement!
Apartamento incrível!
Excelente apartamento! Completo! Limpo, com máquina de lavar louças, lavadora de roupas, secadora de roupas, ferro de passar, secador de cabelo, roupas de cama e de banho, tudo que pudesse ser preciso. Sem falar que a proprietária foi sempre muito atenciosa, deixando inclusive mimos na nossa chegada. Localização ótima: perto de bons restaurantes e praticamente do lado da Disney! Voltaremos certamente. (3 adultos) Recomendo muito!
Great location and good price.
The property was very clean, spacious and offered many extras: pool, hot tub, poot table and secure parking. We were very comfortable with six people. More variety of cooking pots and pans would have nice when we made Thanksgiving dinner, but we were able to cook a full meal with what was in the unit. We were very happy with this stay.

T.F. co-op's Nicole Vega (right) charges downfield as Reavis' Ewelina Kmin chases. | John Smierciak~For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: May 13, 2013 6:39AM
Entering her first season with the T.F. co-op soccer team after transferring from Marian Catholic, Debo Akinsanya wasn't quite sure how she'd fit in.
What she knew she could bring to the squad, though, was hustle and heart.
Those attributes paid off Thursday as Akinsanya tracked down a loose ball to score off a rebound for the match's only goal as the United earned a key 1-0 win over Reavis in a South Suburban crossover at T.F. North.
"I've always been taught to go hard after every ball," Akinsanya said. "I knew that had to be in the back of the net. I was nervous at first to meet all the girls, but I've got a feel for how the team plays and we've all just connected really well."
Akinsanya's goal was set up by a free kick taken by Monica Munoz just outside the box. Munoz's shot was knocked down by Reavis goalie Makayla Spielman (9 saves), but Akinsanya pounced on the rebound and scored to give the United (11-2, 5-1) the lead 21 minutes in.
"One thing I love about Debo is she's a hustler," T.F. co-op coach Alejandro Lagunas said.
Both teams fought through sloppy field conditions on a rainy day to create plenty of chances, but both goalies loomed large.
Hillary Chadare, making her third start in goal for the United, made five saves to shut out Reavis (7-4, 5-1).
"I'm starting to get more comfortable in goal," Chadare said. "It feels good to get a shutout, but I feel like I could play even better."
The Rams earned seven first-half corner kicks, but could not find the equalizer.
Chadare made a strong save on Priscilla Solorzano's shot just a minute after Akinsanya's goal.
Reavis' best scoring chance came with 27 minutes left in the match when Perla Ruiz chipped a ball into the box. Karina Lopez beat Chadare to the loose ball, but her shot rolled just wide.
The Rams managed to keep T.F. co-op freshman Nicole Vega, who has 36 goals, off the scoreboard.

Further Details
Known as the Rias Baixas, the region enjoys a micro-climate with temperatures well into the 30s during the summer months. Known for its Albariño and O Rosal, quality white wines, it is possible to visit various vineyards and enjoy tasting the different wines. Many cultural events take place throughout the year including a very popular wine fair in July. Eating out is much cheaper than other parts of Spain and there are excellent local family owned restaurants who take great pride in their cuisine, an area also famous for its seafood dishes. Several of the villages have their own gastronomic fiestas.
This is always something to do at any time of the year. In spring and autumn, the temperatures are perfect for walking in the hills and mountains, or by the sea or river. The cooler temperatures at these times of year are also better for enjoying cycling and riding in this very beautiful and natural area. Summer months are great for enjoying being by the sea and taking full advantage of water sports, lazing by the pool, splashing about in nearby waterfalls and enjoying al fresco meals. Summer evenings are usually cool enough to enjoy a relaxed stroll to the village or on surrounding woodland tracks. Historic places of interest such as the towns of Tui and Valenca, the celtic site of Monte Tecla with incredible views of the Atlantic ocean and River Mino mouth, are great to visit any time of year.
