Rental Cars
Renting a Car in San Jose del Cabo can be a great experience!
Renting a Car in San Jose del Cabo
Renting a car in San Jose del Cabo can be a great way to explore the San Jose del Cabo area and the Baja California Sur. While the actual town is mostly walkable, its sister town of Cabo San Lucas is about 30 minutes away. There are plenty of side-trips from San Jose del Cabo that you can explore by car.
Rental Cars in San Jose del Cabo are usually around $50 a day.
Tips for your San Jose del Cabo Car Rental Experience
- Book your San Jose del Cabo car ahead of time. Rental cars are unusually expensive if booked in México. Companies like Travelocity take the confusion out of booking your trip by searching many airlines, hotels and rental car companies to get you the best price.
- Make sure to bring a map with you.
- Use your car rental as transportation to and from the airport. Taxis can be expensive. If you are staying a short while in San Jose del Cabo, it might be worth it to rent a car as the taxi ride from the airport to San Jose del Cabo can be the same as a day's Car Rental.

Just had a quick session - it ended with the guardsmen having some…"Unscheduled Unarmed Combat Drills" in a local hostelry. One of the things that came up was the inability of comrades to protect their friends.
The guardsmen were facing two hacked-off civvies each - and were confident in their ability to pummel their first respective opponents into the ground, without needing an assist in the form of a Close Quarters action from their comrades.
However, they say, whilst we don't need help hitting, we really need help not getting hit. Since their comrades don't attack for them, and don't get attacked back (directly, anyway), they take two attacks a turn, and can't try and dodge both without using defensive stance - which means no return blows. They can make a guarded action then a standard attack rather than aim then standard attack, but it still doesn't help against two opponents.
The WS boost from close quarters is only really an offensive thing, and they'd prefer the option to say "watch my back" and have said comrade somehow prevent or at least reduce the effectiveness of opponent A whilst the PC concentrates on whaling on opponent B, which, to me, doesn't seem unreasonable.
I'd suggest either one or the other of the benefits of Defensive Stance (extra reaction or -20 WS) but not both, and making it a full action so you can't do both it and a Close Quarters action in the same round.

Former Jacksonville Navy Sailor Sentenced to Six Years in Federal Prison For Receiving Child Pornography over the Internet
Jacksonville, FL - United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announced today that Senior United States District Judge Harvey E. Schlesinger sentenced Demetrius Richardo Galloway (28, Jacksonville) to 6 years in federal prison and a 10-year term of supervised release on a federal child pornography charge. On October 14, 2011, Galloway pleaded guilty to receiving videos depicting child pornography over the internet. Galloway was enlisted in the U.S. Navy prior to his arrest in this case. After his guilty plea, Galloway was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service.
According to court documents, a detective with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office searched the internet in an undercover capacity in an attempt to identify individuals sharing images and videos containing child pornography. During the investigation, the detective identified a host computer using a particular internet protocol ("IP") address as having downloaded 20 files depicting child pornography. Documents from the internet service provider revealed that this IP address was located in Galloway's residence in Jacksonville.
On October 18, 2010, a search warrant was executed at the residence, where Galloway was present and interviewed. Among other things, Galloway advised that he used a file sharing program to download music, adult pornography, and child pornography from the internet. Officers seized several computers and other electronic media from the residence. Subsequent forensic analysis revealed that Galloway's computer media contained a total of 97 videos depicting child pornography, including videos of very young children being sexually assaulted.
This case was investigated by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, the former Child Predator Cybercrime Unit of the Florida Attorney General's Office, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys D. Rodney Brown and Kevin C. Frein.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.

Leal more than kept her word. Following the original presentation, aired November 25, she contacted Tony Lopez, a reporter/anchor at Channel 4, which has a loose partnership with Univision; shortly thereafter, Lopez shared Oscar's circumstances with his station's viewers. Leal also reached out to Dan Spicer, an attorney known for doing pro bono work for members of the area's Latino community. (The Post identified him as a Univision producer, but he's not on staff. Instead, he's an independent who frequently contributes public-service announcements and news stories.) After agreeing to come aboard, Spicer asked attorney Ed Naylor, of Moyes, Giles, O'Keefe, Vermeire and Gorrell, to aid him by writing a trust agreement, thus ensuring that any past and future donations were handled in a responsible way. Naylor passed matters on to a colleague, Guadalupe Sisneros, who later became the Hernandezes' lawyer before passing the reins to Ralph Torres, their current attorney.
Sisneros brought in another player: Liz Giordano, who heads Garden of Hope, a nonprofit service that she says is devoted to "assisting individuals in need of lifesaving medical treatment." Because Oscar fit this bill, Giordano and her colleagues threw themselves into the chore of finding a hospital that would lend a hand without regard to cost. According to Leal, Children's Hospital of Denver wasn't even in the picture at that point. "They were not very helpful, either for interviews or for anything else," she notes. "They just said, 'You have to have the money, and if you don't have the money, we can't do anything.'" Contacted for last week's column, Children's Hospital spokeswoman Rachel Robinson referred all questions about Oscar to the Hernandez family. Torres, their attorney, has failed to return a bushel of phone calls from Westword.
On December 11, one day after the Post checked in with the first of its stories on the Hernandezes, most of the principals -- with the exception of Giordano, who was in Washington, D.C., working contacts on Oscar's behalf -- met at Univision to discuss the trust. At the time, Spicer and Leal were tabbed to serve as trustees, with Giordano named an alternate. But Leal eventually had to take herself out of the running for this post.
"I got too personal on the story, and I had to back up," Leal concedes. "As a reporter, you're not supposed to get too personal, and when I talked to my general manager about it, she told me not to get involved, because you never know how things are going to turn out. It wasn't just my name involved, but the whole station. And I didn't want to hurt the station if anything happened."
A few days later, Giordano was out, too, despite lining up a free-transplant deal with the Oakland hospital that was spelled out plainly in several e-mails to Children's in Denver. (This proposal was first publicized on Univision on December 19, a full six days before it appeared in the Post -- a fact that makes the boast in the January 31 article about the offer having been "leaked to the Denver Post" seem considerably less impressive.) Still, Giordano prefers to look ahead rather than back. "Our organization has identified several other individuals in need of bone-marrow transplants," she says, adding her hope that some or all of them will be able to take advantage of the same free treatment in Oakland that the Hernandezes ultimately turned down.
As for Spicer, he found out he wouldn't be a trustee after returning from a brief Christmas vacation. He continued to do what he could to help, offering to fly a family member to Oakland for a tour of the hospital and even lining up a promised job for Oscar's father, Pedro Hernandez, an unemployed carpenter. In the end, neither of these gifts was accepted.
"It's truly a shame that the facts were distorted time and time again," Spicer says about the events as a whole. "This was a purely humanitarian effort by the people in this city and the people closest to this case, including Nancy Leal and Liz Giordano. What they did was unique and miraculous -- so to have this distorted in the many ways it's been is most unfortunate for everyone, including all Mexican-Americans living in Colorado."
And Leal? Although she hasn't been in touch with the Hernandezes for well over a month, she's pleased that Oscar is set to receive a transplant. But she feels unsettled by much of went on. "Think about the people who gave jewelry, who gave fur coats, to help pay for something another hospital was offering to do for free," she says. "I ask myself, 'How did that happen?' And I think anybody would be asking the same things I am."
Challenger redux: The explosion of the space shuttle Columbia on Saturday, February 1, prompted the sort of unremitting TV coverage to which members of this catastrophe-obsessed age have sadly grown accustomed -- the possible exception to this group being CBS anchor Dan Rather, who spent countless hours seemingly on the brink of cracking once and for all. It also provided cable-news junkies a temporary respite from "Target: Iraq" drumbeating, which has already gone on for months more than even war-happy network executives might have predicted.

Jack Straus – Treetop – Poker Player
• Name: Jack Straus
• Nickname: Treetop
• Current Residence: Deceased
• Birth Date: 1930
• Birth Place: San Antonio, Texas
Once, Jack Straus said, " they would have made money with handles on, every time they wished you to hold it."
Straus's was a betting enthusiast and a gambler, and above approach towards life in general allows him making big sums.
With nicknamed "Treetop" Straus, born in Texas in 1930, imposed 6'6″ stature.
Ever since his young age, Jack was a basketball actor, while present at Texas A&M for an eventual graduation in business administration.
Straus starts the profession of teacher, however, it doesn't take long time to move to gambling which make a complete diversion in his professional career.
Jack Straus, as most traditional gamblers, perfect his gambling talents on the road, before endorsing betings and casinos.
With the coming years, The "Treetop" played against some of the best U.S. poker online performers and acquired the respect of a lot of them, such Doyle Brunson, Johnny Moss and Amarillo Slim Preston.
Jack Straus had undeniably gambling as passion. During his moderately diminutive profession, he uses beting on anything , everything and at any time. Straus wages each cent, he possesses on the 1970 Super Bowl and won finally.
After the Texas/Oklahoma road game circuit have been relocated to Las Vegas, as the greatest location to host an event for expert poker performers to take home a living, Straus completed the progress.
At this moment, he was obliged to do another evolution. He moves from cash games to play-offs. The "Treetop", had a strong moment regulating to the more traditional technique of play needed to conquer the great competition fields since he was a courageous bluffer and ultra-aggressive performer.
Straus knew his approach was better customized to short-handed cash games, in spite of winning his first WORLD SERIES OF POKER (WSOP) bracelet in 1973.
However, Straus continued to play competitions and won the World Series Main Event in 1982. It seems that winning this important incident didn't remarkably satisfies Straus enough.
Jack Straus plays it in a manner that famed one of the most prototypical poker performer of our moment.
Even though, there is few inquiries as to the precise series of trials that led to Jack being left with only one chip: It is commonly acknowledged that a few variations of the story is accurate.
Being the aggressive performer, Straus was always discovering himself moving in, on competitors at the least sign of failing.
It is not surprising, this show the way to Straus being broken out of competitions regularly.
During the Main Event of 1982, As Jack was assigning to leave, he become aware of that there was one delinquent chip that had not made it into the middle with the rest of his load.
After all, he had been all-in on the preceding hand and the chip, concealed or not, would fairly fit in to the winner of their all-in conflicts.
In spite of all this, the competition staff allows him continue playing and, to the disappointment of the rest of the performers in the incident, he came back from that solo chip and won the championship.
Jack Straus, a quite new poker performer, leaves his initial profession after the huge winning at the WPT Caribbean Adventure in 2005 and starts professional poker.
Since this decision, he did'nt stop racking up millions of dollars in winnings and picking up a WORLD SERIES OF POKER (WSOP) bracelet with five cashes and a runner-up finish.
Jack Straus, with his mug of bear constantly on standby, is the most celebrant figure on the UK poker panorama.
Those performers, we have talked about are just the little poker specialists, since we are not able to enumerate many more with excellent competition's achievements, as well as many others who collaborate to the British poker fields through commentary, writing and promotions business.
We don't have even to forget multitude of experts cash game performers who are winning millions of pounds with no instant TV coverage.
Poker is boosting incredibly, and it is promising stronger future.
Exhibiting his autograph hostility, Straus pressed in a large gamble, wishing to take down the pan then and there.
While the other performer reflect the circumstances, Jack was becoming more and more perturbed that his antagonist would make the call and have him conquered going to the river.
It's unfeasible to be acquainted with what was going throughout Treetop's mind at that time, however nevertheless he did something then that was both radiant and approximately entire useless of: He presents to demonstrate one of his cards previous to the other competitor had made his assessment.
Jack convince him that for $25 he could select one of his gap cards and he would turn it over. Unbelieving, his antagonist acknowledged the propose and after flipping him a $25 chip, pointed to the card he desired to observe.
Straus spinned over the two which stimulate the other competitor to go back in the boiler again, irritating to recognize why Straus would do such a thing.
Straus took a large risk by allowing his antagonist to choose a card since there was a fifty-fifty chance, he would have selected the seven.
Evidently, the move would have worked exactly the same method if he had selected the seven. considering the seven on the panel would have put him to the similar question;
Does Treetop have an agitated pair which would make him a full house? Even so, it took a single mind to create such a bizarre strategy and an flatten formation to perform it.
Jack Straus was a threat-user and a excitement-hunter both on and off the sense.
Having appreciated the work of Ernest Hemingway, Straus had a attachment for hunting and marksmanship.
When traveling to Africa, Straus was triumphant in taking down a lion and took the beast's hand as a prize. He had the reminder emblazoned with the motto, "Better a day as a lion than a hundred years as a mutton," and carry it as a chain around his neck.
Jack Straus suffered a heart attack in 1988 while doing what he loved most, playing poker. He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame later that year and will always be remembered as one of the greats.
• Graduated from Texas A&M in Business Administration
• Inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 1988
• 1982 World Series of Poker Champion
• Coined the term "a chip and a chair" when he won the 1982 WORLD SERIES OF POKER (WSOP) Main Incident after his bet was whittled down to one $500 chip
• Nicknamed "Treetop" since of his 6'6″ frame
• Deceased after a heart attack at a high- bets poker competitor in 1988

Early effort for change, when luck or planning has "early" included, is often a lot of discussion about "what if's". Not the what if's of imagining and looking toward end states, but the disillusioning what if's about people. So and so pushed back last time, will they do it again? She refuses to team with anyone, forcing her expectations on everyone else… will that happen again? Sale won't like this. HR will push back. Finance is stingy. Choose your chosen label, assumptions and disillusioned resistance fighting.
I sometimes get one of those uncomfortable smiles in these types of meetings. Not because I am happy and looking to laugh, but because my body is signaling discomfort-disillusionment.
The meetings are essential and the assumptions are probably to be expected. It is a people thing.
Many times after this initial, "this is going to be so hard", wave passes over, end state descriptions get created and solid stakeholder connection begins, something shows up.
Most of us, in some way, have chosen our roles, our jobs, our careers.
And it turns out a lot of us are dedicated.
Dedicated to moving things forward.
Dedicated to learning.
Dedicated to trying hard.
To participating.
And, yes, to helping with changes and change.
For this fantastic human trait I say I am wonderfully disillusioned.
The wonderful comes when the change path opens up and people start working on the list of tasks. That is when you (I on engagements) get to see people doing what they do best. I get to see talent reaffirmed. I get to see those competencies that we listed early on as important for the change, being used. I get to see people dig in to their work. We all get to see the interaction of multiple specialties and talents combining for something bigger than the sum of the individuals.

Run Diva Tests Athletic Clothing
I recently had a chance to test out some clothing by Champion Athletic Wear. I was contacted by their marketing department to inquire if I would be interested in testing out any of their clothing for one or more of my blogs.
I received a tank top with built in sports bra, a high support sports bra, and a pair of capri length running pants. I have been using these items during the past few weeks while doing strength training and core work at the gym, outdoor running workouts and even during a recent 5k race, and have been very pleased with their performance.
Above: Women's double dry 1/4 zip workout tank with built-in medium support bra in the seaport blue and white print color scheme. Although the built-in sports bra is listed as being medium support, at 150 pounds, I found the bra to have adequate support for me while running. In the past I have worn a separate sports bra underneath this type of top of with a built-in bra but that wasn't necessary with Champion's design.
Above: Double dry spot comfort high-support sports bra in the guava and black color scheme. A high support sports bra which can be worn under regular running t-shirts and tank tops which don't have a built in bra. Wide, comfortable, gel-filled straps, hook and eye back closure. Available in a variety of color schemes.
Above: Double dry sprint fitted women's knee pants in black. Comfortable yet secure drawstring waistband. Reflective trim on the sides of the legs makes for safe running in the dark for those early morning and/or evening runs.
Above: Bike Diva showing off Champion's double dry 1/4 zip workout tank with built-in medium support bra in the ocean blue and white color scheme, and the double dry sprint fitted women's knee pants in black, before heading off to the 10th annual Race for the Arts 5k. The race took place on May 7 at John Prince Park in Lake Worth, Florida. She placed 8 out of 20 women 45-49 and finished in 27:01, a new 5k PR for her.

A monk asked a master, "I just became a monk and would like to know how to enter Buddhahood."
I am curious about people who wanted to have a child or children but decided to have none or fewer because of concerns over population growth. I'm *not* interested in hearing from people who condemn the choice to have chidren but rather from people actually feel and understand the tug towards parenthood but have chosen not to.
Have you had feelings of loss? What ways have you found to satisfy the tug without actually having children?
I'm asking because there obviously needs to be a real cultural conversation about population growth and how many kids we should all have. But I don't think that a conversation about how much damage more children would cause is the answer. I don't think guilting and shaming each other helps.
For one, I personally find it a downer. And for two, I don't think it helps people who are struggling with the choice.
What would help people who are struggling with the choice is stories of others who have struggled with it before them. Aspirational stories of struggling with the choice and finding ways of resolving the struggle happily. Perhaps in creative ways that made your life or the life of someone else better.
If you have a story like that, perhaps you'd be willing to share it with us in the comments?
I will hope you will join me on September 24 in the No Impact Project's mini-march from the George Washington Statue in New York City's Union Square up Broadway and then across town the Dag Hhammarskjold Plaza for a rally in front of the United Nations.
This is part of 350.orgs Moving Planet event which is taking place in over 168 countries. All across the planet citizens will move by foot, bike, skateboard or scooter to demonstrate to world leaders that citizens demand a solution to the world Climate Crisis.
And if you can't join me, look for your local Moving Planet action here.
But if you can join me, come to
Where: The George Washington Statue, south side of Union Square, NYC
When: 11:30 AM
Bring: A garbage bag because we'll be collecting street litter along the way
You'll find our Facebook event page here.
See you there!
I spent much of this morning on the phone with a friend who is one of the top leaders in corporate sustainability. He wanted to know my thoughts on "innovation" and "progress."
Did I think they were good or bad? Did I think the drive for both helped or hindered the quest for a life that is both happier for the people and happier for the planet?
After a long long conversation, I realized that the whole thing could be summed up so simply. I wrote:
The question is over the use of the innovative, simple or techno. Does that use cause aspiration (the filling up with spirit--see etymology) or desperation (the emptying out of spirit). No matter where you stand on the sustainability scale, by the measure I've just described, where does a brand fit that attempts to frighten a women into believing she is not a good mother if her child's shirt is not as white as the next child's? Love,Colin
And also for the organizations that partnered with New York's finest to make this happen, like Transportation Alternatives (of which I am a proud board member).
Hip hip hurray!
Biking, where we can do it, is better for the planet and better for the people.

Some of you will have seen this before, but it's Spring and a lot of people have been asking me about worm composting. So here, for your delectation, via the Lower East Side Ecology Center (LESEC), are directions for keeping your own worm bin. If you live in New York, you can get worms from LESEC. If not, you can get them here.
Why Compost With Worms Indoors? Worm composting is a method for recycling food waste into rich compost right in your apartment, basement or garage. In a nutshell, worm compost is made in a container filled with moistened bedding and red worms. You will need one pound of red wiggler worms to handle up to 3 pounds of kitchen scraps per week in a bin that should be at least 16" (wide) x 19" (long) x 12"(deep).
If you are feeling adventurous, you can also make your own bin! Some basic instructions for building a worm bin can be found at the end of this text.
Choose a binBuild a bin out of wood or use a plastic storage container and adopt it for composting. The bin should be at least 12" deep, around 16" wide and 19" long, have a tight lid and holes on the bottom and sides for drainage and ventilation.
Pick a PlaceLocate your bin where it will not freeze or overheat, temperature range should be between 40∞F to 85∞F. A good place could be a pantry, kitchen corner, garage or basement. Do not place the worm-bin next to a radiator. The worm-bin can be kept in a shady place outdoors from May through October, but needs to be inside for the winter.
Bedding Down the WormsWorms like to live under lots of moist paper or leaves, which helps them stay cool and moist, giving them fiber to eat. Use regular newsprint black or color ink paper, but no glossy inserts, and shred to make 1 inch-wide strips. To moisten the paper, soak it in a bucket filled with water. Squeeze out paper so it is not dripping wet, and fluff to fill the bin 3/4 of the way – that is 9" of fluffy, moist newspaper. Now, you can add your red wiggler worms. Put them on top of the bedding and watch them disappear, as they will naturally disperse into their new home.
Maintaining Your Worm BinFeed worms by always burying the kitchen-scraps underneath the newspaper. Add moist newspaper as needed to keep a 4" to 6" layer of bedding over the food.
DO Feed Your Worms:
DON'T Feed Your Worms:
All organic matter is broken down initially by naturally occurring microorganisms. To speed up this process kitchen scraps should be cut into small one-inch pieces. This initial 'rotting' process allows the worms to digest the organic materials.
Keep Bedding Moist, but avoid wet conditions. If your bin has too much moisture, add dry bedding, such as paper-towels, to absorb excess moisture and/or keep lid ajar. If bedding dries out on edges, spray to remoisten it.
If more and more worms are in your box, you might want to remove some. Red wigglers make great gifts and can be put in outdoor compost piles. If no worms are removed, the population will self-regulate.
Harvesting and Using Worm CastingsCongratulations! You have produced your own natural fertilizer to top-dress your houseplants or to line planting holes in you garden. Street tree pits will also benefit from the vermin-compost. Worm-castings are full of beneficial microbes and nutrients to power new plant growth instead of wasting away in a landfill. Harvest worm castings every two to three months to keep the worm population healthy, since castings become toxic to the worms over time. Start the harvesting process by not feeding your worms for two weeks. Then pile all the crumbly, dark worm-castings in one half of your bin, and place fresh bedding together with undigested paper, etc. in the other half. Resume feeding your worms, but add all food to the fresh bedding. Within two weeks worms will migrate to the new food and finished castings can be removed almost worm-free!!
The federal government today came out with a report saying that the southwest is going to get much dryer in the coming decades. That means:
According to the New York Times:
... the places that are feeling water stress now are going to feel more in the future because snow will melt faster, bringing a decline in summertime stream flows. And as Mr. Salazar observed on Monday, this reordering of natural water supplies "will mean significant potential dislocations to the economy and the environment."
Furthermore, federal officials, in releasing the report, hoped:
to create or bolster a sense of urgency among Western water managers who are planning for the future.
Now to the point of this post. The cause of this coming shortage of water, according to the federal report, is climate change.
In other words, if you don't believe in climate change, then you wouldn't believe the conclusions of this report. You wouldn't believe that it would be necessary to prepare for water shortage in your region, if you're from the southwest.
So my honest question for you is this:
Are you prepared to put your money where your mouth is and not prepare for the water shortage--since you don't believe in climate change? Are you prepared to risk your crops, livestock, economy and drinking water?
Just wondering.
I think a lot about the place of desire. An incorrect relationship to desire, I believe, has got us in this mess. Certainly an incorrect relationship to desire has often got me in a mess!
On the other hand, I don't believe desires are meant to be eradicated. Desires are part of the grand scheme.
The problem comes, however, when mistake desires for the grand scheme. As though desires are the be all and end all. They are not. They are indeed part of the grand scheme. But they are only a part.
The middle way, I think--the challenge--is to find a way to align our desires with the needs of the world. So that the two come together.
If we can do this, then we help ourselves to help the world and help the world to help ourselves.
Here is a note I just sent out to friends and since you are my friend, too:
Hi Folks--
Sorry for group email. I'm just writing to a group of friends who have, at one time or another, expressed interest in my Zen school.
This Friday, April 15, we have a very unusual event happening. Zen Master Soeng Hyang (Bobby Rhodes), who is the guiding teacher of the entire Kwan Um School of Zen, will be visiting and giving a dharma talk along side our resident NYC Zen Master Wu Kwang (Richard Shrobe).
Bobby has a charismatic every day feel and Richard is very deeply steeped in Buddhist history and tradition (he has authored several compelling books on Zen). The combination of the two of them will be amazing (their bios are below the sign off).
[UPDATE: It turns out that ZM Soeng Hyang has been detained by the untimely death of a dharma brother and so won't be there. But the inimitable ZM Wu Kwang will be. So come just the same!]
I certainly will be there and I hope you can come too. The talk starts at 7:45 PM on Friday and is at 400 E 14th St, Apt 2D/E (just east of 1st Ave). Don't be confused: the building offers no outward appearance that there is a Zen center inside, but there is!
Hope to see you there!
All the best,
Zen Master Soeng Hyang (Barbara Rhodes) is the School Zen Master and Guiding Dharma Teacher of the Kwan Um School of Zen. She received dharma transmission from Zen Master Seung Sahn on October 10, 1992. She was one of Zen Master Seung Sahn's first American students and studied with him since 1972. She was given inka in 1977. A registered nurse since 1969, she works for Hospice Care of Rhode Island. She helped found Providence Zen Center, and lived there for seventeen years, serving in a number of administrative capacities. Zen Master Soeng Hyang has a daughter and lives with her partner, Mary, in Massachusetts.
Zen Master Wu Kwang, (Richard Shrobe) is guiding teacher of the Chogye International Zen Center of New York and lives in New York with his family. Before he began practicing Zen he studied intensively with Swami Satchidananda, living with his wife and children for four years at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York. He has a Master's degree in Social Work and did six years of postgraduate study in Gestalt, including training with Laura Perls. He has been director of a drug program, and has served as an instructor in psychiatry and Gestalt therapy. He started practicing with Zen Master Seung Sahn in 1975 and was given inka in 1984. He received dharma transmission on August 1, 1993. A former professional musician, his undergraduate training was in music theory, and he also studied with jazz pianist, Barry Harris. Currently he has a private practice in psychotherapy specializing in the Gestalt approach. He has written three books: Open Mouth Already a Mistake, Don't Know Mind: The Spirit of Korean Zen, and Elegant Failure: A Guide to Zen Koans, all available from from Amazon.com.

RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing
100% Online Degree
Transforming the art of caring through nursing science
The BSN online program offered by UofL's School of Nursing is recognized nationwide for its high academic quality and post-graduation educational value. Currently, our program prepares the most licensed nurses in the state of Kentucky.
The bachelor's in nursing program is specifically developed for the returning RN student who wishes to gain advanced knowledge in nursing and to provide leadership in a changing health care system.
We strive to provide registered nurses who have earned an associate degree or a diploma in nursing the opportunity to learn from the best and complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) while maintaining work, familial and social commitments by taking courses online, anytime and from anywhere.
RN-BSN Online - Program Details
The BSN online courses focus on advanced knowledge in nursing and the skills needed for leadership in a changing health care system and feature forums, chat sessions and discussion boards to facilitate easy interaction with instructors and other students.
Our expert faculty bring to the classroom a wealth of knowledge and experience that spans from palliative care, smoking cessation and hypertension in women, to community and underserved population engagement and research, family caregiving in Alzheimer's disease and post-partum depression care.
Health care providers in the 21st century must be prepared to work in a variety of settings. They will need to be proficient in critical thinking, communication, political activism, case managements and the economics of health care. The RN-BSN online option was created in response to these needs. Coursework is completed online to allow for flexible schedules, while giving students access to IT support and faculty members who are experts in their field.
By enrolling in our RN-BSN online, you too can be part of the research and practice projects, participate in professional meetings or present on nursing topics in the community.
See RN-BSN online degree courses.
The professional nursing portfolio is a valuable career tool that includes a C.V., a career goals outline, a resume and an evaluation of professional credits. Typically, our BSN students build their portfolio during or prior the first semester in their online program under the direct supervision and guidance of expert faculty. The School of Nursing awards 25 Tuition-Free credit hours for the completion of a portfolio, which equates to over $12,000 in tuition savings. Equivalency credit hours may be also awarded for previous education and work experience upon completion of a portfolio.
KCTCS Credit Transfer
Students may complete general education requirements through the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) online or in the classroom then transfer to the University of Louisville to complete their bachelor's degree. UofL Academic Advisers are available to assist with your degree planning.
Career Opportunities
By continuing your education and completing the RN-BSN online degree, you are making an investment in your future which will make you the perfect candidate for future promotions and earning more money. Now is the time to make yourself more marketable in the rapidly growing healthcare industry.
As of April 2011, PayScale.com reported that, overall, RNs with a BSN degree earned more than RNs with an associate degree in nursing (ADN). This trend holds true across various nursing positions, including registered nurse, director of nursing, nurse case manager and clinical nurse manager. The salary variance may span from $2,000 to $10,000 per year depending on the various nursing roles and levels of experience.

You won't find such poetry at this year's Queer Prom, the tenth sponsored by Rainbow Alley, where the theme is more empowerment than classic romance. Superstar will set the tone for GLBT students from across the state -- and as far away as Montana and Texas -- shaking things up at the Tivoli on Saturday night. The intergenerational (meaning those older hipsters who never made their own scene are welcome, too) prom offers traditions with a twist. For example, a prom king and queen will be crowned, but a Drag King and Drag Queen will also don tiaras. Before that, though, they'll rally 'round the State Capitol promoting peace, and they'll picnic in Cheesman Park. And there's an after-prom party at Rainbow Alley, Denver's drop-in center for GLBT youth.
Considering the theme, we can only guess that the fashions will be fab -- none of those bland Neiman Marcus dresses for this crowd. "It's pretty varied," says Julie Voyles, youth-services director at the center. "Anywhere from people in drag to street clothes to full-on tuxedos. Just keep your clothes on -- that's our only guideline."
Hey, no one remembered to mention that rule at the Mr. DU contest at the University of Denver on April 30. About halfway through the show, an unidentified male lifted the curtains and exposed himself to the 300-plus people in the crowd. No arrests were made, and the show did go on; Max Goldberg eventually won with a drag performance.
Maybe he could make an encore appearance at the Queer Prom.
Ice, ice baby: While publicly, sports talk is still yapping about Rockies pitcher Todd Jones saying that he wouldn't want gays in the locker room next to him, someone has been sneaking the Avs' secrets out of the Pepsi Center and onto the Internet. One alert reader visiting the Denver chat room on gay.com was surprised to find rather descriptive postings describing the genitals of Peter Forsberg and Joe Sakic -- with details only their loved ones or nosy team members might know. The chatter claimed he'd gotten access to the Avs locker room and revealed that one team member is so "friggin' long he swings when he walks."
The Avs claim to know nothing of our spy guy. "We strictly, strictly limit access to our locker room," says Jean Martineau, director of media relations.
Lip service: If you're still living in the Cherry Poppin' Daddies-scooter-rockabilly culture, you're so fin. Now it's all about '70s trucker/ rock star. The mullet is deck, a John Deere cap is the ultimate status symbol, and an old Camaro or Trans Am the wheels of choice (note the word "old"; the new ones were never sexy).
Which means the mustache is back -- right after poor Tom Martino finally shaved his, and Jo Farrell be damned. She's the image consultant who told Penfield Tate III to shave his before his mayoral run and convinced Don Mares to banish his back in 1996. The revelation that Mares used city funds to pay Farrell's consulting fee inspired the best joke of the campaign: Sue Casey quipped that one of the reasons she didn't use an image consultant was that she liked her mustache.
Do you? See if you can match these five Denverites -- Ari Zavaras, Wellington Webb, Martino, Casey and Ron Zappolo -- with their stiff (and, in some cases, stripped) upper lips.

The shopping metaphor
by Joe Gillespie — Dec 1, 1999
Let's look first at the online shopping metaphor:
- You go into a store and pick up a basket.
- You walk round the store and put whatever you need into the basket.
- You take the basket to the checkout and pay for your purchases.
There's nothing difficult about that.
Here's another metaphor as used by some of the catalog stores:
- You go into the store and find a catalog and order slip.
- You go through the catalog and write down the reference number of items you want on the order slip.
- You take the order slip to the checkout and pay.
- You pick-up your goods from the collection point.
So, why is it that, with the 'help' of a computer and dedicated programs, it is so much more difficult?
What has happened is that the programmers have analysed the processes and broken them down into steps - and left them broken down. The result is that you get one step per screen, a tedious wait, and then another step and another wait. If you are buying just one item, it is bad enough. If you are buying a list of items it gets extremely annoying.

I've got black bees with dark red hind ends that are flying very close to the gound. Lots of them!! I've seen them in my butterfly bush & in my tomato plants, but, mostly just flying close to the ground. Any ideas what they are??? I don't think they are wasps or hornets, they're too fast for that! Thanks! |

This sounds like some kind of a bumble bee, perhaps you can post a picture? |
They have black wings, head, & the front of the body is black. The back side is dark red or brown with one yellow dot on each side. My picture turned out to be a big blurr. Will keep trying, though! I think it's too slender & fast to be a bumble bee. Thanks! |
Well, our Black Bees turned out to be Scoliid Wasps! Because they were so fast moving, I didn't think they were wasps. Also found out how benificial they are! We have lots of Japanese beetles & these wasps feed on the grubs! Good deal! Thanks!!! |

Interesting compost pile size observations I came up with. At least to me. :)
I have a cyclone fence compost pile. It's in the shape of a 12' diameter circle, 4' high. It contains mostly leaves although I put as many greens in it as I can find. Being that it is mostly leaves it takes a long time to decompose. I was thinking of adding a second pile so I could alternate piles year by year. I wanted to find how big a 50' section of fence would give me in diameter and while I was doing that I decided to see what the volume of the piles was. Being that they are a cylinder it was easy to find volume but I was somewhat surprised at the results. Using the formula v=3.14 X radius squared X height divided by 27, I came up with the following. All of the sizes listed are rounded off slightly, either up or down. A 10' diameter pile will contain an unfinished volume of 11.6 cubic yards.
A 50' length of chain link fence will yield a 16' diameter pile, 4' high.
Probably more than many folks need but I use all I can get. I still buy some. Hope it helps someone. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Large piles can be fun but one has to be aware of the potential for anaerobic conditions developing especially in a hot pile. This bin has a twenty four foot circumference and holds about 7 cubic yards if filled to heaping. Fresh air entrainment to the centre is unlikely so either frequent turning, or some means to get air into the pile is almost a necessity. Once one gets into that kind of volumes it may be best to think of windrows. Lloyd |

Lloyd, went to your flickr page. Amazing pictures. Is that your own operation? If so, where do you get the compostables? And you had mentioned before that you don't garden. What do you do with the compost? |
Hi Kim, Ya that's my hobby. My brother is the mechanic/welder guy, I'm the doofus coming up with the ideas and doing the composting. I posted a brief summary over in this thread (towards the end). I used to have a garden when DW was more able but haven't in a few years. Lloyd |
Me personally, I use a tractor to turn my pile. It have a 8' gate on one side to allow access. Even if you didn't turn, there is nothing wrong with the pile going anarobic. It still makes compost. Your ideas of winrows are just that, your ideas. I was mearly giving people ideas on volumes of cylinder containment. |
"there is nothing wrong with the pile going anarobic" I disagree. "Your ideas of winrows are just that, your ideas." Well, not exactly my idea, but, okay. Lloyd |

The oldest school in the McAllen school district will officially close it's doors in a few weeks.
In a unanimous vote the school board officially decided to close David Crockett Elementary school on Tuesday night. Students will finish out the school year and will be transferred to either Wilson or Navarro elementary next year. Board officials say the school could no longer provide the best learning environment for it's students, but the building will continue to be used for administrative purposes.

Vickroy: From Haiti to the Southland: Thank you
BY DONNA VICKROY email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy October 24, 2012 4:04PM
Haiti: there and back
I was touring Respond Now, a Chicago Heights social service organization that helps the poor, when the subject of Haiti came up for the first time. It was a few weeks before Christmas 2009, and I was chatting with volunteer Elizabeth Wisnasky about the growing need for food and warm clothing across the Southland. One thing led to another, and she said, at last, "There's a priest in Haiti who wants us to start making burial palls for the dead."
Back then, I knew that Haiti was somewhere in the Caribbean and that it was desperately poor, but I didn't think much more of Wisnasky's new assignment. Not until the following month.
In January 2010, a devastating earthquake leveled much of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital city. The disaster piled on to the misery that the people of Haiti already knew too well, and it catapulted the Western Hemisphere's poorest country onto an international stage.
Remembering Wisnasky's statement, I called her the day after the quake. Was anyone in these parts doing anything to help Haiti? She told me her burial pall group was set to meet the very next day. She also told me to contact John Shattuck, a parishioner at St. Elizabeth Seton Church in Orland Hills.
"He is collecting water bottles and other things to send there," she said.
Shattuck promptly told me he was not interested in being interviewed for a story. It took some persuading, but finally, the Frankfort businessman began to share information about the work he was doing on behalf of Haiti and children in other poor countries through a Christian mission, Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos.
Thus began a two-year newspaper/source relationship that culminated in the SouthtownStar's series, "Haiti: Two Years Later."
As many of you know, photographer Matt Marton and I traveled to Haiti with Shattuck in February. Our intent was to follow the trail of compassion from the Southland to the very people it was destined to help. After writing about local humanitarian efforts to help Haiti, we wanted to see for ourselves where all the shoes, clothes, money, medical supplies and, of course, burial palls that originated in these parts ended up.
Our series introduced readers to the work of Father Rick Frechette, as well as many others who tirelessly attend to the medical, spiritual, social and educational needs of the Haitian people. If you haven't yet read it, please visit southtownstar.suntimes.com/news/HaitiTwoYearsLater/index.html and check it out.

All they needed to know was that a priest in Haiti needed their help.
For more than two years, devoted volunteers have gathered regularly in church meeting rooms across the Southland to create shrouds for people they've never met and whose names may never be known.
Sue D'Amore, of Lockport, Marion Walles, of Mokena, and Dee Radgowski, of Frankfort, are among the many who give time, talent and precious storage space in their own homes to the burial pall ministry.
Organized by Elizabeth Wisnasky, of Tinley Park, the volunteers apply ribbons, pictures and other decorations to sheets and pillowcases. They write loving phrases in permanent marker. They sprinkle glitter and dab with paint.
They do their best to give Haiti's poor, unclaimed dead what they so often could not get in life: dignity.
On Saturday, the 1,800-mile gap between the Southland and Port-au-Prince was bridged when the Rev. Rick Frechette, a priest and doctor who serves in Haiti, came to Orland Hills to say "thank you."
Frechette was in Chicago to attend the annual meeting of the Friends of the Orphans Midwest, a funding arm of Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos. He made a special trip to the southland to say Mass at St. Elizabeth Seton Church. Afterward, he attended a reception in the church gathering room, where he met with many of the people who have supplied him with more than 40,000 burial palls since he began asking for them more than two years ago.
Frechette was accompanied by Marie Esther Desir and Antoine Jean, Haitians who grew up in orphanages run by Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos. Desir sings a capella at the funerals Frechette oversees. She also sings each week at the morgue. Jean works as an interpreter for American visitors and runs his own school. Both are devoted to helping their people. Both pray for better times for Haiti.
During the service, Frechette told the crowd of about 70 people that the highest charity on Earth is to give to the dead.
"Because the dead have no way to repay you," he said. "I am pleased to be here and thank you in person for the ministry on behalf of the people who have died."
Once a week, Frechette and a band of volunteers enter the city morgue in Port-au-Prince and begin the gut-wrenching job of burying the unclaimed dead. They take as many rotting bodies as officials will allow. They wrap them, bless them, cover them with handmade palls and transport them to a seaside cemetery with a name that translates to "Less Than Nothing."
"To say you need a lot of guts to do it is the understatement of the year," Frechette told the congregation. "The dead in Haiti are so different from the dead we see. They are rotting, naked, piled one on top of the other. You can easily think they are garbage."
To keep from throwing up or breaking down, the burial crew — who call themselves "The Grateful Dead" — sing, dance, sip rum and smoke cigars.
Though most are nameless, Frechette insists "the dead that we take care of in Port-au-Prince are absolutely worthy dead. They are the sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, nieces and nephews of someone," he said.
The fact that they lie neglected and unclaimed, he said, is further proof that poverty continues to humiliate into death.
"That's wrong. We believe, and rightly so, that life is sacred through the passage of death," he said. "To honor them and thank God for their lives is to take them out of the humiliation of poverty and bury them with dignity."
During Communion, Desir sang a song she wrote called "Misery." After the service, she told me how she hopes that one day the world will hear her singing and learn about the struggles of her people.
Soon after the earthquake in January 2010, Andrea Bocelli heard a tape of Desir's singing and flew her to Rome to sing with him. She's still waiting for the next big break.
After the service, Jackie Grider, of Lockport, said the sermon "was just breathtaking. So simple, but right to the heart. What touched me most was when he said you cannot be rewarded for helping the dead.
"It was such a joy to meet Antoine and Esther," she said. "It makes everything so much more real."
The volunteers were able to hug and applaud Desir, who speaks Creole. Through interpretation, they learned that she is married, has three children and in addition to helping Frechette, she has a job cleaning bodies at the morgue.
Christen Morrison, who helps run the pall burial ministry at St. Dennis Church in Lockport, said, through tears, "Father Rick is the man on Earth behind the magic. God's hands are in all of this, but he is carrying on God's work here on Earth."
Dolores Kowski, of Tinley Park, said, "We are such a small part of what he does. And here he is, thanking us."
The Rev. Bill Gubbins, of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish, said Frechette's visit meant much to the volunteers.
"He's their hero, a man they truly admire," he said.
For Wisnasky, who has watched the ministry she began blossom into a movement that has volunteers now making pants, shirts, dresses and diapers for children in Haiti as well as other Third World countries, the opportunity to meet the man behind her calling was "powerful," she said.
Wisnasky played piano while Desir sang during the service.
"I cried the first time I heard her sing, even before I knew what the song was about," she said.
When they met, Wisnasky said, Desir told her, "I love you, I love you. Your mission brings love and peace and dignity to my people."
While she was in town, Desir was invited to record some of her songs at Axes Music in Frankfort.
Richard and Darlene Edelmann, of Calumet City, learned about the burial pall program through Respond Now, a social service organization in Chicago Heights.
"The mission shows a deep appreciation for humanity and of those who are less capable of dealing with life's struggles," Richard said.
Because of his work, Frechette is a finalist for the prestigious "Opus Prize," given annually to unsung heroes of any faith tradition, anywhere in the world, who are solving today's most persistent social problems.
Speaking about Frechette, Darlene Edelmann said, "It was wonderful to see someone that just luminates, he shines so brightly, like God. His work is so precious and he does it with such grace and dignity. He's a beautiful soul. I thank God for him."

The aim of this game is to reach the top of a level in the shortest time, while collecting as many diamonds as possible.
You move by making platforms from which the ball is deflected. Depending on the location and angle of the platform you can direct the ball in different directions.
To make a platform just pass your finger over the screen. The platform will appear between first and last point of touch.
But be careful! The number of platforms is limited. You can increase it by collecting diamonds. During the game you have two possibilities of using 4 extra platforms. However, each time you use it, you lose 150 points.
On your way remember to avoid different types of obstacles, which prevent you from reaching the target, and to keep your ball from falling to low.
• Game contains 10 levels of varying difficulty
• Thanks to the publication of scores in Game Center you can compete with players from all over the world.
• Obtaining highest point value in all levels earns you the highest score of 3 stars.

Maybe it would be worth improving the init system to do so? Or maybe it wouldn't because using an initramfs is easier and has no drawbacks, but see above.

It is permissible for a man to divorce his wife with whom he has not consummated the marriage when she was menstruating, because she will not be harmed by this divorce as she is not obliged to observe the âiddah. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
âO you who believe! When you marry believing women, and then divorce them before you have sexual intercourse with them, no âIddah divorce prescribed period have you to count in respect of themâ
al-Ahzaab 33:49.
Shaykh Ibn âUthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The innovated divorce (talaaq al-bidâah) refers to number and time, i.e., it is innovated either because it happens at a time when issuing a divorce is haraam, or because the number is haraam. So the innovation has to do with time, such as if he divorces a woman who is obliged to observe the âiddah by counting menstrual cycles when she was menstruating; or during a period of purity in which he had intercourse with her, and she is a woman who menstruates and she does not appear to be pregnant. But if it becomes clear that she is pregnant, it is permissible for him to divorce her, even if he had intercourse with her during that period of purity. The same applies if she is not obliged to observe the âiddah, such as a wife with whom he has not consummated the marriage; if he divorces her when she is menstruating, the divorce is valid; or if she does not menstruate, such as a minor or an old lady, there is nothing wrong with him divorcing her.
End quote from al-Sharh al-Mumtiâ, 13/13
If a man divorces his wife before consummating the marriage with her, he does not have the right to take her back, because taking her back can only be done during the âiddah period, and the woman who is divorced before the marriage is consummated does not have to observe the âiddah.
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (7/397):
The scholars are unanimously agreed that a woman with whom the marriage has not been consummated becomes irrevocably divorced with one talaaq, and the one who divorced her does not have the right to take her back. That is because taking back can only be done during the âiddah, and there is no âiddah before consummation of the marriage, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
al-Ahzaab 33:49. End quote.
Based on this, if a man divorced his wife before consummation of the marriage, then he wants to take her back, he has to do a new marriage contract with her, with a new mahr.
For more information please see the answer to question no. 99597
And Allah knows best.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bitty!
Facts about Bitty
- Breed: Pit Bull Terrier
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Bitty's Info...
I am already spayed, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Meet Bitty! This sweet and social girl is absolutely lovely in every way. She is easy going and loves meeting new people, and she'll lean up against you to get all the love and ear-scratches she can! This beautiful girl is also good with other dogs and loves to play. Bitty is gentle and knows how to sit when asked - and she takes treats very politely as well! Can you give this lovable dog a happy home? She is waiting to meet you! For more information, please call Kathy at 858-205-9974.
To meet Bitty, please go to the County Animal Shelter at 2481 Palomar Airport Rd in Carlsbad.
When looking to add a new member to your family, please consider one of the homeless dogs at the county shelter. Open your heart and your home - you will be glad you did.
Other Pets at Friends of County Animal Shelters - Encinitas
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bitty, a Encinitas Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Encinitas, or seeking a Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Encinitas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Encinitas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Encinitas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Encinitas paves the way for another one to be saved.

Kid-Friendly Board Games You Should Know (Card Games, Too!)
Earlier this month at Dust or Magic AppCamp, we spent part of an afternoon with a panel of kid gamers, aged 4 to 13. They passed the mic around, and were asked to say what their favorite game was. The 4 year old said "Ladybug," and we adults in the audience pressed her for more information about it, because no one had heard of it. She said it was a board game. Everyone laughed. Poor kid.
We Americans don't take board games very seriously. Video games are at the forefront of consumers' minds these days. A recent article in Wired magazine suggested board games lack popularity in the US because most American board games don't ask players to strategize very much, and the winner is generally determined early on in the game. That leaves the other players to painfully and politely play along until the game is complete, which in the case of Monopoly, could take hours. But not all board games are this boring.
As a game designer, I feel playing board games gives me an edge, because board game mechanics are more obvious than those in video games. For example, if a game is 4 rounds of 3 turns for each player, you can think about why the designer made it that way, why he chose all of the elements the game includes, and how the game would be different if you changed any one of those things. You can see all the parts of the game right in front of you at once. In fact, many video game designers build paper prototypes of their games and playtest them with friends before they begin investing time developing a computer version.
Here are some kid-friendly board games I think any children's game designer would find interesting:
Aquarius: Ages 5+ This game operates much like dominoes. Cards have colorful illustrations of air, earth, fire, water, and ether on them. On your turn, you lay one card down on the table, the next player must attach a card that connects to one of the elements already in play. The goal is to connect seven cards of your goal element together. I confess that part of the appeal of this game for me is that the rules state the player with the longest hair goes first, and with waist-length hair, that is usually me. There isn't much strategy in this one, other than trying to fool your fellow players into thinking your goal element is something other than what it is. If you're too obvious with your moves, your friends may try to block you.
Fluxx: Ages 8+ This card game is very simple. Each player starts with 3 cards and on your turn, you draw one card from the deck, and play one card from your hand. Pretty soon, it becomes more complicated because cards in the deck allow you to modify the rules. Certain cards allow you to set a goal for the game that determines how to win. But of course that can change too, if you play a card with a different goal. It's very silly, and it appeals to kids because who hasn't wanted to change the rules now and then? It's also a good exercise in reading directions and following them, which is something kids we all have trouble with sometimes.
Guillotine: Ages 8+ Another card game. This one's a bit morbid, but in a comic way. In Guillotine, you play an executioner, and your goal is to kill only the people the public despise in order to get the highest score. One set of cards forms a line to the cardboard stand-up guillotine, and on your turn, you collect the person at the front of the line. Action cards in your hand allow you to strategically change the order of the line. Not super educational, but you do have to strategize when the right time is to play each action card in your hand, and the French Revolution theme may expose a child to people he didn't know about before, like Robespierre, and Marie Antoinette.
Blokus: Ages 8+ A visual strategy game where each player has an identical set of polyomino pieces, which is just a fancy word that says all the pieces are made out of different arrangements of squares, like Tetris pieces. Unlike Tetris though, the pieces are made out of different numbers of squares. Your goal is to use as many of your pieces as you can, and the winner is the player who finishes with the least number of pieces left over. A great visual math game. The manufacturer says this game is for ages 5 and up, and while young kids may be able to play, you need a level of sophistication in thinking to really plan a strategy. Without that ability, young children may get bored.
Chrononauts: Ages 12+ In Chrononauts, you play a secret agent with a mission that you must travel back in time to achieve. It's another card game, but in this one you create a sort of board by laying out many of the cards in a timeline that goes back to the assassination of President Lincoln in 1865, and has a card for many significant events through 1999, the year the game was published. If playing this with children, I highly recommend also purchasing the recently published "Gore Years" expansion so you'll be playing with recent history she'll be able to remember. This expansion continues the timeline through the election of President Obama in 2008. The game is very interesting, because actions players take reverse events in history, which cause 'ripple' effects that alter other historical events. A great game to play with kids studying history.
Settlers of Catan: Ages 12+ A classic that is recently gaining fame in the United States. It's a good strategy game to start with because it appeals to a lot of people. It's a crowd-pleaser. The game features a board of hexagonal tiles that you layout, and can thus alter in subsequent games. Each player settles cities on different areas of the board, and you win by building roads and increasing the size and number of your cities (not unlike trading up from houses to hotels in Monopoly). Settling in different locations gives you different resources. Forests mean you'll have wood, meadows mean you can raise sheep, fields mean you'll have wheat and so on. It's difficult to get all the resources you'll need on your own, and so you'll have to negotiate with other players to get the resources you'll need. The game is so popular that it's been released in video game form on XBox Live, and iPhone. It'll be released in mid-June on the PS3.

Every young masochist – feverish with a desire for pain – wishes he (or she) could self-inflict corporal punishment.
This cartoon features the Whackomatic 2000. Tie your guy up and walk away while he gets his due.
This enterprising schematic drawing shows a device by which a man can literally kick himself. Since the masochist has to supply the power with his arms it is easy to see how this might appeal to a nicely nasty sadist.
From 1900 comes two patent drawings for a Lifting and Spanking Machine.
Given the vintage of the drawing I thought it might be yet another scheme to prevent masturbation. But a precis of the patent says:
This invention relates to devices employed in initiating applicants for menbership in secret organizations, and it has for its objective to provide a device of this class which is known as a spanking-machine, the construction being such that the applicant will be struck with a paddle and at the same time will be given an electric shock, the mechanism being thrown into operation by the applicant himself.
Fraternity and sorority hazing fantasies are pretty common. Maybe masochists of earlier days had lodge joining fantasies.
Yeah, I know: there are no women operating any of these spanking devices. Sorry about that.

Thank you, thank you for some real info on mattresses! Through another retailer, I am in the process of a warranty exchange for a S&F Alnwick luxury plush euro-pillowtop w/major body impression problems 3yrs old(pd$1900),v. uncomfortable and v. disappointed. The offered replacement choices are Princes St, Robson St, or Wethersfield models. After our experience and reading your blog, we do not want another pillowtop and lean towards something firmer. I am shopping local retailers to try different models but can't figure what is what. Do you know the "letter grade" of the above models and any equivalent names? Also, do you feel I am getting a comparable value mattress? FYI hubby 5'10" 210, me 5'5" 115, both back to mostly side sleepers with current lower back and shoulder pain for me. Any advice? Next mattress purchase for the family is with you guys!
Hi Kerri. The store you are dealing with does not carry the Estate line, which is what your replacement should be. The Alnwick was a level 6, when it was current. To get a fair replacement, it should be an Estate model. My personal favorite is the P grade. Even though they don't carry it, it's a S&F warranty issue, so the factory should be able to ship you one anyway. If you have a hard time, contact the manufacturer directly.

Our Andersen sliders of 12 years are delaminating. We plan to replace 3 sets each eight foot wide. The house is on the water facing north/northeast South Jersey coast. I am disappointed the Andersens did not last longer. What other sliding deck doors can anyone suggest that are built of better material. Perhaps vinyl or fiberglass? Any experience with them in similar environment? Thanks for all replies. |
