Improve Your Focus Everywhere You Go
Improve Your Focus Everywhere You Go
Do you struggle to pay attention at work? Is your child often caught daydreaming in the classroom? Inattention and trouble focusing are among the hallmarks of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition that can make it harder for you or your child to get things done.
ADHD is one of the most common developmental problems in childhood. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 10 kids in the United States live with ADHD. Many of them continue to deal with ADHD as they get older.
If your child is having trouble getting through homework or you can't seem to focus at work or around the house, find help right on your smartphone. These 14 apps do everything from set reminders and create to-do lists to improve concentration.
iPhone – 4.5 stars with 1,613 ratings – $4.99
You probably juggle dozens of different tasks on any given day. A to-do list might help you keep track of them, but only if you remember to look at it. Written notes can't sound an alarm when it's time to walk the dog or go to your next meeting, but the Due app can.
This easy, fast app lets you set up reminders in a matter of seconds. Schedule one-time alerts, as well as regular notifications for repeated tasks. With 12 distinct alert sounds, you'll know right away when it's time to take your medicine, go to the gym, or do the laundry. Sync your alerts across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you'll be reminded of to-do items wherever you are.
iPhone – 4 stars with 1,388 ratings – $2.99
Is your daily routine a little humdrum? Turn it into an adventure with EpicWin, the app that makes boring, everyday chores like dusting and laundry into an exciting game!
Here's how it works: Enter your to-do list into the app's easy-to-use interface and choose your avatar. Each time you "destroy" a chore in animated battles, you'll be rewarded with points that increase your character's stats and help you level-up. You'll never think of housework or homework in the same way again!

Have you ever gone on a frantic search for an important note or to-do list that you left lying around? With Evernote, you'll never lose track of your notes again. This app will organize and sync them across your devices, and incorporate photos and audio notes so you don't have to write everything down.
See a recipe in a library book that you'd like to try at home? Take a photo of it and save it for later. Suddenly remember that you need to take the dog to the vet? Record a voice reminder so you won't forget to make the appointment.
Evernote lets you organize all your documents by tags, so you can easily search for them when you need them. You can also share your notes with friends and family via Facebook and Twitter.
iPhone – 4 stars with 5,657 ratings – $4.99
More than 2 million people have simplified their daily routine with Clear, the app that Gizmodo calls "perfect for busy people." Clear's interface is a collection of intuitive and easy-to-search lists. It's simple enough for anyone to use, yet powerful enough to organize even the most hectic schedule.
Create a list to remind you when it's time to watch your favorite TV show or buy your friend a birthday present. Build another list to remind you that you have to mow the lawn or wash the car. Organize your lists by theme, and then access them across your devices by syncing them up on iCloud.

Bogged down by all the time it takes to write emails and texts? Slay slow typing with the Dragon app. A voice recognition system lets you send messages or post online to Facebook or Twitter without having to type a single letter.
No matter how quick you are on the keyboard, Dragon is probably quicker. It can transcribe voice to text about five times faster than typing. Plus, it's completely hands-free so you can use it on the go. And if you make a mistake, you can easily fix it with the app's voice-driven editing interface.

How many times have you come home from a trip to the supermarket, only to realize that you've forgotten to buy one all-important item? Avoid those "oops!" moments with Remember the Milk, an organizational tool that will help you keep track of all your lists and tasks.
Despite its name, Remember the Milk does a lot more than just organize your grocery lists. Use it to set project due dates, prioritize tasks by importance, estimate how much time it will take to complete them, and then plan the best way to get them done. Remember the Milk also lets you back up your lists online, so there's no risk of misplacing them.

Have you ever thought about keeping a journal, but couldn't invest the time it takes to write your whole life story? Momento makes memory keeping easy, by using your existing social media pages to create a complete personal history.
Momento records important memories as they happen. You can then incorporate those moments with photos and events you've already collected in your social media timeline. Weaving together your daily musings and social media history creates a much more complete record of your life than could ever be captured in a paper book. You can also tag events so you can easily find them later.

When a teacher drones on or a meeting seems never-ending, you may find yourself easing the boring moments by doodling. Whether drawing hearts, rainbows, or just nameless designs, these simple sketches can be powerful boredom busters.
Recently, research has found that doodling isn't just a time-filler. It can actually focus your attention and help you remember, which is good news if you've got ADHD. Exercises in this app, like simultaneously drawing a circle with your left hand and a vertical line with your right, harness the power of the pen (or stylus) and increase your attention span by improving your focus.
iPhone – 4 stars with 775 ratings – $9.99
The road from idea to execution is often paved with mistakes and struggles. If you have trouble seeing projects to the end, check out MindNode, an app that organizes your thoughts for you, so you can focus on that all-important idea generation.
You start by writing down your thoughts into branching units called nodes, then connecting the dots to create a visual map of those ideas. Color-code the nodes to quickly identify similar themes. Drag and drop them into various patterns until a clear direction appears. You can cross-reference all your mind maps from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or publish them for everyone to see with the new MyMindNode service.

Do you still keep all your important photos, videos, and documents on your computer's hard drive? If you need one of those documents while you're away from your computer, you could be out of luck. Or worse, your computer could crash and wipe out everything you've painstakingly saved.
With Dropbox, you never have to worry about missing or losing your most important files. This free app stores your documents, photos, and videos to all your devices. You can instantly share your files with anyone you choose, and they can share their files with you—without space-consuming attachments! Plus, Dropbox offers 2 GB of free space, just for signing up.
iPhone – 4 stars with 1,291 ratings – $4.99
Do you forget when to mop the kitchen floor or dust the curtains? HomeRoutines organizes your chores for you and breaks them up into manageable room-by-room chunks, so you never feel overwhelmed.
This app makes the mundane more fun by awarding you a gold star for each job you complete. Test yourself by setting the timer and seeing how much cleaning you can get done in 10 or 15 minutes. Once the house is sparkling, review your list of completed jobs and pat yourself on the back—or send it to your housemate as a reminder of just how hard you've worked to tidy up the place.
iPhone – 4.5 stars with 3,289 ratings – Free
Whether it's waxing your car, reading through emails, or finishing up a report for your boss, it's easy to get distracted when you've got a job to do. Put an end to procrastination with an app that's designed to keep you on task.
With 30/30, enter a list of jobs you need to complete. Then assign each job a set time. The app will keep track of how much of the task still needs to get done as you work, and how much time you have left to do it. When time is up, 30/30 will tell you to move on to the next task. Finish within the allotted time to complete the job, and feel a great sense of satisfaction in the process.

Convincing most kids to make the bed, do their homework, or take out the trash can quickly turn into a battle. But what if you could turn boring chores into a fun and rewarding game?
iReward Chart encourages kids to do more around the house by making them feel like they're in control. Even though parents choose the tasks, kids get to pick their own rewards. Whether you want your kids to do the dishes, say "please" more often, or be nicer to their siblings, this app can help you accomplish it with minimal arguing. What parent wouldn't want that?
Android – 4.4 stars with 822 ratings – Free
Have you ever wished that you could bring your favorite adventure video game to life? With TaskHammer, you can transform yourself into a fantasy hero while also getting a lot done around the house.
Create a character to start. Then enter a series of tasks (you can call them "quests") to complete. For every "quest" you finish, your character's stats increase like they would in a real role-playing game. In the end, you win and everything gets done.

London, Mar 3 : Apple's much-awaited gadget, iWatch, which would be a wearable version of the iPhone, is at least three years away, one of the suppliers of the tech giant has said.
The makers of Willow glass, a flexible material expected to be used in the Apple iWatch, said that their product is not ready for use in such a complex design.
Apple supplier Corning, developer of the glass, which can be made in a roll similar to newsprint, said the technology should be in use on simple products within a year, but not for anything as complicated as a wearable smartphone, the Telegraph reports.
The news is contrary to earlier reports, which suggested that the iWatch was an advanced stage of development and not far off heading into production.
Last month, unnamed insiders were cited as saying that a team of 100 Apple staff - headed by senior executives, had been assembled to work on the product, implying that the iWatch was "beyond the experimentation phase". (ANI)

Door bottom trim failed ruster Gary N. • Massena, NY • October 18, 2014 My Repair & Advice An easy repair. Hardest part was getting the rusted screws free. WD40 and time fixed that. Was this review helpful to you?
Broken plastic on dryer air duct Chris Z. • Princeton, IN • January 06, 2015 Appliance: Maytag Dryer-Ele MDET236AYW My Repair & Advice I watched the video on the dryer air duct assembly page, and followed it. It was almost exactly like my machine! Pop open the top cover of the dryer, disconnect the wires from the door switch, remove the screws from the front panel, then swap out the air duct. Easy! I scraped excess lint out of a fan that the dryer duct dumps the air to for exhaust, so it added some time there, but it was a very easy fix! Probably saved at least $100 in labor fees if I would have paid somebody to do it. Was this review helpful to you?
Certain buttons were'not working Brent T. • Easton, MD • November 17, 2014 Appliance: Maytag 27" Built-in Electric Oven Self-Clean MEW5527DDW16 My Repair & Advice One day my wife went to bake something and the bake/broil buttons as well as #3, #9, and oven light ceased to work. Local repair guy came by and wanted to charge $500 to fix it....YEAH RIGHT! Did a little homework and found this website, spoke with knowledgable staff who pointed me in the right direction. Took me all of about 20 minutes to install new control panel..everything works perfect...THANKS! p.s. In doing my research come to find Maytag did little to insulate control panel from oven heat and that using the "oven clean" function can cause so much heat it damages the internals of control panel...figures as I remember my wife using the cleaning mode for the first time not long before everything went haywire. Suggest you stay away from that mode and just be careful when in broil mode as well... Was this review helpful to you?
The lower burner element on my jenn aire oven was broken Ken K. • Portola Valley, CA • December 29, 2014 Appliance: Jenn-Air Range-F/s Std Ddraft Ele 88370 My Repair & Advice Tried to get a part 3 days before Christmas at my local appliance parts store, but they said they would need to order it and it would take several days, probably after Christmas. I logged on to AppliancePartsPros.com and they had the part in stock at a much better price, so I ordered it with 3 - 5 day delivery thinking the delivery couldn't be any worse than my local retailer. The part came the next day, just before Christmas. My wife's cooking and baking problem was solved with the right part delivered early at a great price. I'm sold on the service and performance of AppliancePartsPros.com. Was this review helpful to you?

I have a small deck in the front of my house, that serves as a porch. The person who lived here before me stained it, and I see where there was some stain, but most of it is worn off. I am seeking advice on what to do to make it look better and preserve it. It is some sort of pressure treated wood, not sure what. Someone said to paint it to improve the look, but I mentioned it to a neighbor and he said don't do it, that it will always peel. I don't want to create a maintenance nightmare, I just want to improve its look. Thank you in advance for your advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
As long as the material is sound without any serious splintering and checking you can either give the deck a wash with oxyacilic acid or a dilute bleach wash to clean the deck and remove any previous finish. You could also just sand it to remove the finish and clean up the surface. From there you need to apply an oil finish. Oils penetrate into the wood and deepen the color and luster. They will also provide a modicum of UV protection while allowing the wood to "breathe" as the seasons change. Do not apply a film finish like paint or polyurethane as this will inevitably crack and peel (like your neighbor said) and end up adding a lot of maintenance. |
- Posted by katrina_ellen (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 12:40
mcilvain, thank you. I'm so glad I mentioned it to my neighbor - I was on the verge of painting it without realizing what I was getting into!!! Can you recommend products that work well? Thanks again for your help. |
Well we really like Ipe Oil by the DeckWise/IpeClip people as well as Messmers. Then again I have only used them on tropical hardwood decks. I doubt there would be any difference using it on a pressure treated deck if that is indeed what you have. These are hard to get at big box stores though. I have had good experience with Cabot Oils too. Avoid the Thompson's Water Seal line. Expect to pay $60+ a gallon or your are probably getting a lesser product. |

I found these hand embroidered wool animals when I was in Mexico on vacation. I think that they are so charming I just couldn't resist having them in my life. One of ours seems to be missing, and when I was back in Mexico recently, I knew I had to get two more. So now we have three of these amazing creatures and they just make me happy every time I stumble across one.
I love buying little treasures like this when I am away in different cities and especially different countries. It always reminds me of a memory from that place.

Wake up to light with the NatureBright Per3 Three-Way Wake Up Light. This multifunctional lamp functions as an alarm clock, wake up light, and a reading lamp.

Swivel arm and pivot head allow you to easily adjust the direction of the lamp. View larger.
Multifunctional lamp functions as an alarm clock, wake up light, and a reading lamp. View larger.
LED lamp simulates natural light by increasing light in the morning, and decreasing at night. View larger.
The NatureBright Per3 Three-Way Wake Up Light simulates the natural light of dawn by gradually increasing the intensity of light prior to wake-up time. It also eases you into a peaceful night's sleep at bedtime. The programmable sunrise simulator brightens light from zero to full intensity to help you awake gently, while the sunset simulator fades it out to ease you into sleep.
The Per3 works to subtly reset your internal cycles by affecting melatonin production. This results in more balanced and restful sleep cycles, even in instances of night-shift work or travel. Useful for insomnia, fitful sleep, and difficulties waking in the morning, the Per3's natural dawn simulation therapy has no negative side effects.
The light's compact design means it can be used in any location, including by your bed, on your breakfast table, or on your desk at work. The swivel arm and pivot head allow you to easily adjust the direction of the lamp to backlight your cubicle, light your table top, or softly brighten your bedside as you read.
The Per3 measures 20 by 5 by 7 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 4 pounds.
The glare-free design of the Per3 makes it an ideal bedside reading lamp. The bright white LEDs and clear view lens make reading effortless and help prevent eyestrain. The Per3 features brightness adjustments, an easy-to-read digital display showing day, time, and weekday, on/off buttons, and a snooze feature.
The Per3's bright light is produced solely by non-invasive technology and contains no UV rays. The energy-efficient LED lamp lasts up to 100,000 hours, consuming 1/10 the power of incandescent lights. Wake up to light and improve your sleep with the Per3 Wake Up Light.

SHANKSVILLE — As the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks approaches, a video shot just minutes after the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 has surfaced.
While the video does not show the moment of impact, it clearly shows a mushroom cloud rising from the site of the crash at an abandoned strip mine near Shanksville.
The voice of Berlin resident Dave Berkebile, now deceased, can be heard speaking calmly in the background.
"This is the remains of an airplane crash over on Lambertsville Road," he said. "Probably a terrorist bomb on board that blew up."
Berkebile said the crash "shook the heck out of the house … A great, big, black cloud just mushroomed right up into the air."
Then he added: "I wonder if there is anything left of Lambertsville."
Donna Glessner, who is collecting oral histories for the National Park Service, saw the video and said she believes it is the earliest known video of the crash.

How Do You Think We Stay So Happy?*Final Thoughts & Farewells* 10/7 p100
Here's the Story Welcome to Our Trip Report. A Trip We Started Planning last September. Funny how these things come together on the Dis Boards. Some of us had met prior to this trip and some of us hadn't. But we felt like we all knew each other. Our dates came together relatively easy. An impromptu girls trip blossomed almost over night.Of Six Lovely Ladies Who met right here on the DIS boards. Each of Them had a Vision That Could not be Ignored So they Planned and they Schemed and they Knew that it was Much More than a Hunch that this Group Would Somehow Come Together The East Meets West Bunch East Meets West Down South We Go To the Land of Mickey We All Know Yes, East Meets West Down South We Go There's a Trip Report starting.....Here We Go! First Came Melissa, then Mary Ellen then Jen Who Arrived Quite Late at Night, Cynthia caught the Red Eye, A Really Hard Core Flight Last But Not Least, Christine and Tracy Arrived to Head Right to the Slushy Stand This Group Had Finally Come Together The East Meets West Clan East Meets West Down South We Go To the Land of Mickey We All Know East Meets West Down South We Go There's a Trip Report starting.....Here We Go! Insert these words to the Brady Bunch Tune! Now each of the ladies promised me they would do an introduction. I, however, have been nominated as the primary narrator. So let me take a moment to introduce myself: My name is Mary Ellen and I was actually the oldest member of the group. So old in fact that our youngest member could be my daughter. But that's OK. Age is just a number, right? RIGHT??????? That's me on the right - with the sunglasses - and all the bags. That picture earned me quite a reputation as a sherpa. I tried to downsize this trip. But by our last night I had earned sherpa status yet again. This trip was actually my 14th trip to Disney World. Hard to believe for a gal who took her kids for the first time in 1st and 3rd grade and swore it was "one and done". Now that I am a DVC member (into my fourth year) I insist on visiting the world at least twice a year. If I had my way I would be visiting three times a year. I am fortunate enough to live in Delaware so in a quick 2 hours I can arrive at the World! I have two boys - Brian and Nicholas. Nicholas is finishing his sophomore year and Brian is graduating this year. I am a nurse practitioner and I am a church musician and a marching band geek. I also love taking pictures. I filled up a whole 8 gb memory card this trip and was forced to buy a new one. So how did this trip come to be???? As I recall, I had originally planned to visit in May with two or three of my soccer mom friends. When it came time to book the stay, they dropped....like flies. One mom was very worried that she would miss the State Track & Field Championship. When she dropped out, a second mom did. And the third mom - I don't think she ever committed at all. So one night I was commiserating on this DIS. I mentioned that even though my friends dropped out, I was still going to visit the world. As luck would have it, Christine said she was also mulling around a May trip. In about 48 hours our group had grown to 5 when Tracy, Melissa, and Cynthia also said that they would love to join the party. With a little finagling, Jen was able to work around her school testing schedule and escape for a long weekend. A trip was born. I won't go into the tedious pre trip details. I will just say that our dates were April 28th - May 6th. Well, not all of us where there on all those dates, but that was the general time frame. Melissa (mickeysmyboy) 4/28 - 5/4 Mary Ellen (mek) 4/29 - 5/5 Jen (jenjolt) 4/29 - 5/3 Cynthia (eandesmom) 4/30 - 5/5 Tracy (manntra) 4/30 - 5/6 Christine (2xcited2sleep) 4/30 - 5/6 In the weeks that led up to this trip we were all getting quite excited. We had ADRs planned for months and a special tour planned. We were down to our final countdown when one intrepid member got sick - Yeah - that would be me! I started a hard core diet and exercise regimen about a month before the trip. That, combined with the fact that I don't sleep enough at night, helped me come down with strep throat and a cold to boot! There were several days where I thought I might have to cancel, or at the very least, change my flight by a few days. But even though I wasn't perfect, I still managed to leave as planned. Crisis averted. Phew! I woke up bright and early on D-Day (which was also the Royal Wedding Day) and finished all my last minute packing. I had originally planned to work half a day, but because I had been so sick, I just took the whole day off. Here's a picture of my Max baby that I took right before leaving for the airport: Oh yeah - and here's my first drink picture of the trip. A berry smoothy from Costco! I really didn't take too many travel pictures, but I took this one at the Philly airport because I liked the hot air balloon in the distance, My chariot awaits I had an uneventful flight. I sat next to the nicest college student who told me all about Haverford College. She was traveling home to Orlando for the weekend to attend her cousin's wedding. To my right was another nice lady who I think was traveling for business. I couldn't help telling them all about my upcoming girl's trip. I did take a few pics with my iphone. These are familiar sites to all of you. LOL! I don't really have the whole iphone picture thing down yet! It's funny how comfortable I feel at MCO. It's like coming home to me. As soon as I get there I think, "Wow. I feel like I was just here." It's deja vu to me. So What Resort Was I Heading to?????? Well, I was actually going to two of the four resorts on that DME sign. I had two nights booked at POR and 4 nights at the Beach Club Villas (my dream resort). I would have loved to spend all 6 nights at BCV, but I didn't quite have enough points to pay the Easter week point tab. So I decided POR would be nice. I think the landscaping there is fabulous. And, as luck would have it, POR was the first DME stop! My flight landed about 5pm and I arrived at POR shortly after 6pm. It doesn't get any better than that! I tried to take the infamous Welcome to Disney World Picture with my phone, but as you can see the Love Bugs obscured my view. Yuck! Oh Yeah...... Do you think the driver was out of wiper fluid or did he just give up? Arriving at POR I did the regular check-in. I waited 5 minutes. I was quick to request a room in the mansion section. My conversation went something like this.... "My room mate is coming in on the red eye. She will be REALLY disappointed if we don't have a mansion room. Any chance?" Well, I did get a mansion room and it looked a bit like this..... So I am gonna tell the other ladies to get on over here for introductions. Hope you will join us for the fun!!!!!!!

What a GREAT job with the intro, Mary Ellen! I knew there was a reason we nominated you the narrator... and the trip photographer... and the sherpa.
As you said, this trip really did come together with remarkable ease. I think the hardest part was waiting for arrival day to come! You asked for an intro and so here is mine: I'm Christine (obviously). I celebrate my 29th birthday in July (and have been celebrating # 29 for -ahem- quite a few years now, if you catch my drift...). I am a confirmed Disney addict. For me, I think I most look forward to the escape from reality, high caliber of customer service, overall magic and atmosphere, sunshine, and food/drink. I am not a big thrill ride lover, in fact I'm a wimp. I'm definitely not a commando park tourer. I tend to take things as they come. That's not to say I don't do any research/planning before I go, because I do... quite a bit (mostly around ADRs). But when I get there I tend to go with the flow. Or at least try to.....As far as travel goes, I arrived a few days later than the rest of the ladies on Saturday morning. So I guess I'll wait until we come upon Saturday in our tale to share my travel story - not that it is at all exciting. Love all your pictures of MCO, Mary Ellen and I agree with you completely on how at home I feel there. I will confess that, yes, as Mary Ellen's intro song goes, I did pretty much check-in and head right for the slushie stand. Although to be fair, I ordered champagne... this time. |

See my post below.
You can also taste the mead as you are adding sweetener to get it the way you want. 250 ml gives me enough sweetness to balance the alcohol but your preference will likely be different.
got it. Thanks for the info
Give a man a beer, he'll drink for the day.Teach a man to brew, he'll be drunk the rest of his life.
personally I'd only boil 4 gallons of water and then stir in the honey. Check the volume after combining to try and get to 5 to 5.5 gallons with the honey - adding water if needed. I trust my water so the real reason I'd heat water is to mix the honey in. If you add 15 lb of honey ot 5 gallons of water, you will have about 6+gallons of must (must is the name for unfermented wine/mead). Granted boiling the 5 gallons reduce the water volume because you boil off some, but I doubt 1 gallons worth off a boil. I've also airlocked at the beginning, and then do a couple of other steps that help the ferment (like some more yeast nutrient, and 'thumping' the fermentor to help degas in the early ferment. I do this by hitting the fermentor with the side of my fist. The goal is to vibrate the wine a little and encourage some CO2 to exit and ease yeast stress.) BUT neither of those 2 things is needed.
thank you that is also very helpful. How much water would you boil then? I only have a 5 gal carboy available for mead as my other 6 gal ones are currently fermenting beer. Would 4 gal of water and 15lbs of honey be alright?
If you're planning on making carboy size batches of mead regularly, just invest in one of those double wing wine aerators. Oh that thing saves so much time in mixing honey into water and aerating the ?$$%@ out of it. I use that on a 1/2" cheapie Harbor Freight variable speed drill and within maybe 30 seconds it mixes the honey so well nothing dissolves out. Crystallized honey is always a challenge, if you can heat it to like 110F in the container you want to pour it from a funnel into the carboy it is easiest. My rough estimates seem to be that honey takes roughly roughly 1/6 to 1/4 of the volume of the carboy.
12lb of honey is roughly 1 gallon of liquid, so 15lb should be about 1.25 gallons (5 quarts) I'd look to initially mix that with about 3 to 3.5 gallons of water and then topoff after it was all in the carboy

Live Commentary
Match Preview
Mair: Thistle will come good Defender Lee Mair claims it is only the press who are interested in Partick's failure to win a home Scottish Premiership game so far this season. The Jags are second-bottom of the table, with their 16-point lead over Hearts helped by the 15-point deduction the Jambos received for falling into administration last year. Alan Archibald's men will try for the 13th time in this campaign to pick up three home points when Dundee United visit on Saturday. However, Mair, who joined the Maryhill club just over a week ago after leaving St Mirren, insists the Jags' unwanted record is not a topic of conversation in the home dressing room. "The only people who talk about that is the press," the 33-year-old said. "We haven't mentioned it at all, that we haven't won at home all season. "People just dig up a story to get a story for something. "With the three performances we put in since I came here, I can't believe that statistic. "We done really well, so hopefully we can win at home soon. "If we weren't playing well then maybe we would be concerned. "But in the games I played in we created chances. "If we weren't creating chances then maybe there would be a problem but it is just a matter of time until we get that win and hopefully it is sooner rather than later. "We have nothing to fear from teams so hopefully we can put that (record) to bed soon." Mair will not be fooled by the poor form of United, who have failed to win any of their last six matches. The former Tannadice player said: "Before that they had won six or seven in the trot, so that is what you are going to get because they are a bunch of kids. But they are probably the best kids in the country, so they could turn it on any time. "So we have to be at the top of our game." New loan signings Prince Buaben and George Moncur go straight into the squad for the clash at Firhill. Both players are midfielders which will make up for the absence of fellow loanee Chris Erskine, who is unable to play against his parent club while Mark Kerr and Ross Forbes left the Maryhill outfit. Long-term absentees Isaac Osbourne (ankle) and Sean Welsh (groin) will miss out but Kallum Higginbotham is expected to make the squad despite getting six stitches in a knee injury last weekend. Meanwhile, Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara was delighted to get some much-needed defensive cover in ahead of the trip after signing Curtis Good on loan from Newcastle. McNamara admitted on Thursday he was looking for cover for left-sided defender Gavin Gunning, whose knee injury might keep him out for another month. And he succeeded in signing 20-year-old Good on a deal until the end of the season. The Australian-born player, who arrived at Newcastle from Melbourn Heart, goes straight into the squad for the Firhill trip. McNamara said: "Curtis comes to us highly recommended and from a well-respected club. "He is left-footed and can play as either a central defender or left-back. These are areas that require cover and it was important this was addressed during the window. "He is 6ft 1in and strong and should give a different option to the defenders already at the club. "I am very happy to have this deal completed - it offers Curtis the opportunity to get some game time whilst enhancing our squad for the latter part of the season." Good is in the squad for the game. The 20-year-old joined United on loan until the end of the season on the final day of the transfer window. Fellow central defender Gavin Gunning is still out with a knee injury while Brian Graham could miss out again for the same reason.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Amsterdam Dinner Canal Cruise. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
First visit to Amsterdam and did not have enough time to do everything. The Dinner cruise was first class, food excellent and not rushed in any way. The guide was also excellent as were the rest of the crew. Evening passed very quickly and something I would definately do again. Excellent value.
Excellent Food and Wine
From start to finish this experience is quality and offers the very best of both worlds - sight seeing of the beautiful city Amsterdam and good food, service and commentary. MY partner and I would recommend this to anyone considering it.
wonderfull trip great staff food just perfect sat with two strangers ended up best of friends in fact see them on our trip to England we were so involved with our table companions that we went the next night to see the views highly recommended Gerrit
The trip down the canals were wonderful and the value for the meal, drinks and tour was well worth it. We got some great picture opportunities and the Dutch food base was good.
This was the highlight of our short break.The food was delicious the service was excellent and the beer and wine kept flowing.The cruise itself is very good,we saw parts of Amsterdam we would never have seen.The houseboats in particular are well worth a view.All in all very good value and highly recommended.
This was a very enjoyable cruise, and the food was also good. Would recommend this cruise.
Food was great and the waitresses and waiters were very friendly. The captain gave a good commentary. All in all well worth doing on our first evening in Amsterdam.
Best dinner cruise we've been on. Great food. Beautiful.
It was great fun and we really enjoyed everything, the company, food and ambience. Would definitely recommend.
The river cruise was phenomenal! We got the 3 course meal and it seemed so much more than that. There was free champagne upon arrival, unlimited wine/beer/softdrinks/water, a little pate type hourdouirve, bread (the spread that went with this was one of the best I've ever tasted!), my friend and I ordered this salmon appetizer that was huge!, I ordered chicken/my friend fish that both came with snap peas,potatoes and a salad. Dessert was a mousse (not the best honestly) and then followed by coffee and chocolates. It was a great meal. My friend and I are still talking about it! My only complaint was that my friend and I got a little lost trying to find the cruise because the street isn't well marked. Also, the company on the voucher said Linburgh tours or something as the point of contact but it was the Blue Boat Canal Cruises (or something like that). The voucher also said we'd get free entrance to the Casino near there but no one made mention of this, so I felt like that was mis-representation of the voucher. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone going to Amsterdam and I would definitely go again!
Brian S
United Kingdom
No this was a great trip, our host for the evening "Bo" was great, some very witty one liners and good banter all the way. Again glorious evening trip in the sun, food was very tasty and the drink kept flowing the whole time as well.
You get a great trip round the city and views that you might not get to see otherwise so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Food was good, the waiter was kind enough to explain what we were looking at, and in the evening the city becomes magic! An experience i will hold in my heart forever.
We decided to take this dinner cruise to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. Although it may seem a little expensive, the cruise itself was excellent with interesting commentary at times from the skipper without it being a constant barrage.
The cruise lasted for around two hours, just about right and it's surprising how much can be seen in that time.
Finally, the meal (with wine, beer and soft drinks included) was excellent, all three courses were imaginitive and served very well by the friendly and attentive staff.
The food was excellent, as was the service. It was great in that we had a beginning in daylight to observe along the canal, and then when it was dark, we had a totally different (and wonderful) view of things. If there was any negative, it was that the launching point on the canal was a fair distance from the town center. We'd had another tour (to Delft) earlier and had to use a cab to be sure to get to the dock in time as the earlier tour was running a bit late. This is a wonder way to view the city and the cost was worth every sent. This was my first use of Viator and will surely use them in the future.

Amazing amount of advocacy from such a small organization. They may be small but are widely respected in the foster care advocacy community.
Wonderful organization.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Washington DC watching their speakers in action.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
its ability to articulate the distinct needs of foster kids.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
all positive and filled with energy.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
change foster care in this country for the better.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

I got this little stuffed "Shamu" at Sea World a few years ago. Sasha doesn't ever try to bite at it, but she does cuddle with it often during her day naps. When I walked by the landing where she normally snoozes and saw this, I had to grab the camera!! Lori :-) |

Oh Lori that is SO adorable! What a sweet picture. Makes me want to reach out and give her a pat! Their eyes and even their colourings are similar. You caught a really good photo! |
So sweet and so innocent looking! I love Sasha's blanket ;-) |
I just love the look on Sasha's face. So content. Is that one of your crocheted creations under the two? My sister has a cat that has a stuffed animal, but he uses it for other things. I keep trying to get her to videotape it. |

just too precious. what a little lovebug. |
It looks like Shamu makes the perfect pillow for Sasha, so very comfy and cuddly on the lovely blankie. All ready for her nap. She has a wonderfully sweet expression on her face too. |
Oh my goodness - what a cutie! |
Mat I snuggle with them? Just tooooo cute!! Nancy |
Lori, that puppy is so sweet. Snuggle her up for me, will ya? And snuggle her lots. Annie |
Oh, that is just too darned cute! Gotta love puppies! Linda |
OH cute! Shasha looks so comfy!! Hey we have a Shamu too but his name is Otter. I dont' know, my husband and I both thought it was an otter. So that's what he's called. My son has slept with him for 9 yrs now. Poor Otter looks like he has cataracts due to the dryer chipping off his brown eyes. And his whiskers are all curled up. I'd say your Shamu looks a lot better than our Otter. haha! |

'Anna' Review: A Strong Cast Is No Match For a Forgettable Script
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on June 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentA woman alone at home hears a noise in the other room and goes to investigate. She finds a window open that she thought she had closed and soon discovers why — an intruder is in the house and armed with a knife and malicious intent. But as she's races in fear from one room to the next another man becomes visible to us while she runs right past him. What the what? John Washington (Mark Strong) is a memory detective. With a combination of hand-holding and a little bit of coaxing he can enter a person's memories, whether they be formative or traumatic, and while he can't interact with them his observations reveal information that can be used later in therapy or criminal trials. It's a good gig if you can get it, but John is forced onto sabbatical after his latest trip down someone else's memory lane finds his own recollections leaking in resulting in him having a seizure. He returns after a months-long sabbatical to take on the case of a potentially disturbed teenage girl named Anna (Taissa Farmiga). He probably should have taken a longer sabbatical.
'Blood' Review: Well Acted, Beautifully Shot, Often Uninteresting
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on August 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentCrime-related dramas usually do one of two things well. They're either interested solely in the mystery itself, or they're more focused on the characters and their journey into darkness. In rare cases, like David Fincher's Zodiac or Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder, a movie can nail both halves with equal skill and effect. Blood takes the second path, eschewing any real mystery or suspense to focus on two brothers, both in blood and in blue, whose investigation into a teenage girl's murder leads to a crime of their own. They're soon tasked with solving the very crime they committed, and as the pressure to close the case mounts the fragility of the two men's lives begins to crack. Unfortunately they crack and crumble in the ways viewers will most likely expect.
Casting Couch: Jackie Chan Becomes 'Expendable,' Noomi Rapace May Join Tom Hardy in 'Animal Rescue,' and More
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on December 17, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Casting Couch? It's a column that has a lot of new casting news today, so settle in. Even after only two movies, the number of aged action stars who have yet to appear in Sylvester Stallone's Expendables series has dwindled down to a select few. So, given his age, his lengthy resume, and the way he's linked almost exclusively to the action genre, Jackie Chan has to be seen as one of the biggest fish out there that Stallone has yet to catch. It looks like that's going to change in The Expendables 3, however, as Chan has told Cinema Online [via Coming Soon] that Stallone has invited him to join the cast of the film, and he has agreed to appear as long as it's in a featured part and not just a cameo. Looks like we might finally get our chance to see Dolph Lundgren get beat up with a ladder.
Review: 'Coriolanus' Is An Accomplishment Worthy of Its Shakespearean Bloodline
Movie Reviews By Robin Ruinsky on December 9, 2011 | Comments (1)Let me start by confessing that I was a Theater and English major and have spent much of my academic career studying the works of the bard. William Shakespeare's plays were written as entertainment for the everyman and perhaps it does say quite a bit for the dumbing down of human civilization that work once enjoyed by the average Elizabethan "Joe" is now considered incomprehensible – but that doesn't mean they are incomprehensible. Shakespeare's been ruined for too many people who sat through interminable high school classes listening to their peers try to read it out loud. Director and star Ralph Fiennes has made his Coriolanus, one of Shakespeare's lesser known plays, very accessible and very relevant. Maybe because I live in the land of Occupy Wall street, but scenes of heavily armed police ready to bash citizen protesters are chilling for me. There's nothing really foreign about the language of the film (lifted straight from the stage play); it is still English for goodness sakes. Sometimes, it is a good thing for people to stretch their brains and challenge their minds. Yet, even so, the poetry of the film is used in a very natural way, making it very accessible to an audience not familiar with it. The story is hardly tough to follow, and the updating of the setting is not only effective, but really makes knowledge of Roman history unnecessary. The rise and fall of a stubborn, powerful man who seeks revenge against those who betrayed him […]
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 2, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on December 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr walks around his apartment naked, rents out hookers of various shapes and sizes then tries to pick up married women on a subway. He figures if it's good enough for Michael Fassbender in Steve McQueen's Shame, then it's good enough for anyone. Of course, this leads Kevin to spending most of the rest of the day weeping in his birthday suit. Shaking off the humiliation, he decides to take in some culture and give Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus a gander, being one of them Shakespeare pictures and all. Unfortunately, he never stops giggling about the name of the movie long enough to decipher all of the fancy Elizabethan language, and Kevin ends up weeping again, curled up naked in his shower.
Movie News After Dark: Clash of the Sequels, Counting Bayhem, Breaking Bad Kicks and Yuletide Jamz
Movie News By Neil Miller on November 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? Like Lexus, it's relentless in its pursuit of perfection. Unlike Lexus, it's a movie news column. It also won't cost you anything. Take that, Lexus. Pop quiz, hot shot. How many Clash of the Titans movies does this modern world need? One? No. Two? Not even close. How about three Clash of the Titans movies, ah-ha-ha. Yes, Warner Bros. is already prepping a third Clash of the Titans film, which will most likely come complete with a terribly muted, dark and blurry 3D post-conversion. You know, for the kids.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: August 5, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on August 5, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr heads into a lab to liberate some apes, but they rise up, beat him down and fling their poo all over him. He washes up and heads home to his family, secretly longing for the swinging lifestyle of fellow FSR staffers like Neil Miller, Robert Fure and Rob Hunter. But since he doesn't get a chance to pee in a fountain with any of them, he doesn't get a chance to switch bodies with them, a la The Change-Up. This is probably a good thing because few people can take the awesomessness of his body.
International 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Trailer is Caesar's Show
Movie News By Jack Giroux on June 17, 2011 | Comments (2)While everyone else on the web continues to lose their marbles over the new Harry Potter trailer, which I still haven't seen, a far more surprising and interesting trailer has hit the web: a 60-second international ad for Rise of the Planet of the Apes. What's so damn cool about this trailer is that it mostly focuses on Caesar's perspective. You'd think Fox would stick to James Franco's point of view, but thankfully they've put out something a little more ambitious.
Interview: Brian Cox on The Bloody 'Ironclad' and Different Directing Methods
Features By Jack Giroux on June 9, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIf you're interested in seeing veteran actor Brian Cox slit a few throats and chop off a few heads, then Ironclad is definitely the film for you. It's got fantastically gory kills, Paul Giamatti looking angry in every frame and chewing apart every inch of scenery with each glare, and blood hitting every inch of the screen imaginable. Sound promising? Director Jonathan English has captured a tone that revels in both gore and laughs. Brian Cox, thankfully, gets to partake in English's bloodbath. I knew within the first few seconds of speaking with Cox that I was going to enjoy the chat. Cox got a hearty laugh from the site's name right from the start and had a few questions about its origin, a part I desperately wish I recorded. It was a nice icebreaker, to say the least. Calm and thoughtful, the actor made for a quick and pleasant interview. We discussed the fun tone of Ironclad and, mainly, the different directors he's collaborated with, including the likes of Bryan Singer, Doug Liman, and Rupert Wyatt.
All this Summer, Movies We Love is transforming itself (by getting into a bikini) to celebrate the movies we love that came out in the hottest months. This week, we fall in love all over again with X2. "Have you ever tried…not being a mutant?" Synopsis After a solitary mutant who can teleport attacks the President, a secret military squad led by a man named Stryker (Brian Cox) is given carte blanche to find and capture the students and teachers at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. But the mutants, especially Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), recently returned from his trip to the North, aren't going to go quietly. Instead, the team made up of Storm (Halle Berry), Jean Gray (Famke Janssen), Rogue (Anna Paquin), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), and Pyro (Aaron Stanford) work to seek out the squad's base where they are holding the captured Professor X (Patrick Stewart). But the X-Men aren't alone. Joining in the hunt is the telaporting assassin, Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), Magneto (Ian McKellan) and Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), who have called a truce with the team in what may be an inevitable war with the human race.
First 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Trailer Rises On the Planet of the Humans
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 14, 2011 | Comments (10)"This is wrong, Will." Stunning commentary on the state of medical testing? Seething critique of prequel/rebooting a beloved sci-fi franchise? Straightforward reaction to the new title of the movie? It's probably all of the above, but it's also one of two lines Freida Pinto has in the first trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes. It looks like a throwback to Robin Cook-style science thrillers. A modern-day Frankenstein tale where the patched-together man comes in the form of hundreds of primates swinging in the tree tops of your neighborhood. Seriously, it feels like The Birds for a second, but much, much hairier. Check out the trailer for yourself:
Action Fest Review: 'Ironclad' Leaves a Trail of Bloody Corpses in its Wake
Action Fest By Luke Mullen on April 13, 2011 | Comments (3)While they've always been fairly popular, there seems to be a renewed surge of interest in medieval epics. Films like Valhalla Rising, Season of the Witch and Black Death as well as the impending premiere of HBO's new Game of Thrones series are proof enough of that. Movie audiences love the mix of broadswords and blood, and Jonathan English's new film Ironclad certainly provides both in more than ample quantities. Setting its sights on the real life siege of Rochester Castle in 1215, Ironclad is essentially a 13th century men on a mission film complete with Templars, misfits and enough carnage to sate even the most jaded genre fans.
'Rise of the Apes' Will Rise Sooner Than Expected
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 23, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhen I first read the title Rise of the Apes I was hoping that it was going to be a big budget prequel of one of my favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 subjects of scrutiny 1987's Time of the Apes. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have a direct connection. Rise of the Apes is going to be one of those humans versus talking apes movies made famous by the legendary Planet of the Apes though. This one seems to be set on modern day Earth and it tells the story of a science experiment gone wrong. In this movie James Franco plays a geneticist that accidentally creates a race of super intelligent monkeys who revolt against their human overlords and try to take over our society. It just sounds like something James Franco would do. Freida Pinto is also set to star, and Andy Serkis will be playing some sort of monkey character. And toss in a little Brian Cox and John Lithgow for good measure. None of this is new news though. The big development when it comes to this monkey movie is that Fox is moving up its release date. Originally it was scheduled to come out on Thanksgiving, but now it will join the end of summer blockbuster hopefuls with an August 5th release. I imagine that we should take this as good news. Moving a film from the fall to the summer must mean that somebody at the studio has watched a cut of this thing […]
SXSW Exclusive First Look: 'The Key Man' Poster
Movie News By Jack Giroux on March 10, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe idea of Hugo Weaving and Brian Cox sharing the screen together is basically a total nerd's wet dream. In one corner you got Agent Smith, V, Megatron, Elron the elf, and Red Skull. In the other corner you got William Stryker, Ward Abbot, Robert McKee, and the original Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Could two leads get any cooler than this? Most likely not. The Key Man is making its premiere here at SXSW this week, so lets hope the film delivers as well as it should. In anticipation of its debut, we've got an exclusive first look at the film's poster.
Dimension Films Will Release Geriatric Horror Flick 'The Home'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 5, 2011 | Be the First To CommentLike most films, The Home has had a rocky road to getting made, but it looks like the sailing through Cthulu-infested waters will be smoother now that Dimension Films has agreed to release the film. As reported before, the film puts Ed Asner, Cloris Leachman, Brian Cox, Fionnula Flanagan, Louise Fletcher and Louis Gossett, Jr (and whatever young leads are announced) into an old folks home and tortures them with KNB-designed practical monsters until their screams and uneaten no-sugar-added apple sauce cups are used for the building's fuel. Calls to filmmaker Kristoffer Aaron Morgan went unanswered, which I'll assume means, "we want to have the film done by Fantastic Fest." Morgan most recently had his short, yet hilariously nutritious, take on zombies hit said fest as one of the infamous bumpers. You can watch it after the jump.
An Oscar-Worthy AARP Cast Moves Into Horror Film 'The Home'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on October 20, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWe've reported on The Home before because of the shiver-inducing concept art created by WETA, and it looks like the show might finally be on the road to getting off the road at a secure location where they can start filming frightening things attacking senior citizens. The list of senior citizens now includes Oscar winner (and film nerd favorite) Louise Fletcher, Oscar winner Louis Gossett Jr, Ed Asner, and Fionnula Flanagan (a veteran of stage, screen, and the creepiest character on Lost). Plus, the production is in talks to secure both Brian Cox and Cloris Leachman.
It's been a long time since a single film has featured the acting talent assembled in RED. But if there's one thing this halfhearted action-comedy proves, it's this: even Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich (not to mention Mary-Louise Parker, Brian Cox and Ernest Borgnine) can't enliven a story as deadly as that crafted by screenwriters Jon and Erich Hoeber, based on the Warren Ellis/Cully Hamner graphic novel. Co-opting the age old, out of retirement for one last fling blueprint, the film follows retired CIA agent Frank Moses (Willis) as he and his former colleagues are forced back into the game when government spooks try to rub them out. Heavily armed and dangerous geriatrics Joe Matheson (Freeman), the wiry and paranoid Marvin Boggs (Malkovich) and the distinguished Victoria (Mirren) assist Frank in some serious butt kicking, supplemented by quirky quips and knowing, wizened back and forth banter.
There's a world out there where people get shot more than they get paper cuts. It's a world where alliances change, people might be out to kill you, but nothing's ever all that big a deal. It's just a Tuesday, and the black ops have busted into your home to end your life. Red might just be the best romantic comedy of the year featuring Helen Mirren on a piece of heavy artillery. Frank (Bruce Willis) is a former CIA agent who's attacked in his home just when he's close to asking out Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a woman he calls the Federal Pension Program help line to speak with on a regular basis. The retired don't know about Facebook yet. He draws her into a world of former spooks who are also being targeted, including a suave gentleman (played by Morgan Freeman), a paranoid stuffed pig enthusiast (John Malkovich) and a gorgeous lady with a penchant for wet work (Helen Mirren).
'Apes' Will Rise Up To Claw Brian Cox's Eyes Out
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on July 13, 2010 | Comments (2)I have to assume that our simian friends attack the eyes first, and Planet of the Rise of the Apes promises to do the same at some point in the near future. The remake/sequel/prequel seems to be rolling along unhindered and just got its villain in the form of veteran actor Brian Cox. According to The Wrap: Hollywood, the actor has signed on as a man who keeps a sanctuary but mistreats all the animal inhabitants – meaning that Cox can finally add "Evil Ape Sanctuary Owner" to his list of roles. We'll do the honorable thing and avoid the monkey-slapping jokes (because there will be plenty of time for them later) and instead simply report that the actor's talent will be paired up with Andy Serkis, James Franco, Freida Pinto, and John Lithgow. A formidable cast, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an unnecessary remake/prequel to a decade's old franchise that already got the remake treatment earlier in the decade.
Can a single performance save a film? Can an otherwise mediocre movie be made watchable and even enjoyable due to a solitary actor or actress nailing their character so perfectly? The short answer is yes. The somewhat longer answer is within.
