I am writing an article for a class that I am taking geared toward children ages 6-11. I would like any insight that you can provide on how my dog was taken 150 miles away and jumped out of our truck and showed up at our house 1 month later. Another situation happened to a friend of mine who had a squirrel living in his attic. He got a have-a-heart trap and carried it away. It kept returning time and time again, since he had painted its tail, he knew it was the same squirrel. No matter how many miles away he drove the darn squirrel it kept coming back.
Scientists are still confused on how exactly a dog or cat can find its way home from far away, however, here are some ideas they have that are known to exist:

A document revealed by Radio Globo has shown that Santos earned just over €9m from Neymar's transfer to Barcelona.
According to the minutes of a Santos board meeting on June 18, the Spanish giants paid €17m to obtain 100 per cent ownership of the Brazilian international, with his club receiving €9.35m of this amount.
The rest was divided between two companies that owned part of the player's rights – DIS, which owned 40 per cent and Teisa, with a 5 per cent stake in him.
According to Globoesporte, Barca's initial offer for the 21-year-old was €16.5m, to be paid in instalments up to 2016, yet the deal was eventually rubber-stamped with the Catalans agreeing to pay the administrative costs, a figure of €171,000.
However, as the Barcelona board announced, Neymar's transfer cost a total €57m with €40m allegedly going to the player's father in commission, of which €10m was reported to have been paid in advance in 2012.
In terms of bonuses, La Blaugrana will pay an extra €2m if Neymar is voted one of the top three players in the world at the Ballon d'Or awards within the next five years.
Santos will also get first refusal on the player if at any time in the future he decides to leave Barcelona.

NEW ORLEANS -- I don't know what kind of game this is going to be, but this Super Bowl really has it all.John versus Jim; Harbaughs dueling at 53 yards. Ray Lewis versus Colin Kaepernick: A retiring all-time linebacker in his last game against the well-tattooed 25-year-old passer who might be the future of the position. Dean Pees versus Greg Roman: A Belichick-trained veteran defensive coach against a kid with lots of new ideas. Two terrific deep-throwers. Two running games that, at times, have dominated in a season full of passing records. Two defenses that, at times, have dominated too.That's where I want to start, on defense. Twelve days ago, when I picked the Ravens to win 27-23, I knew I was picking a little bit against the grain. The 49ers">49ers are a great team with a potentially transcendent quarterback. (I mean, who plays like Kaepernick? One week, 181 rushing yards. The next week, he leaves the pocket to run on purpose one time -- for minus-two yards. Classic team guy. Takes what the defense gives him, and against Atlanta, the defense wasn't going to let him run, so he lets Frank Gore win the game.) And that quarterback, in his 10th NFL start, could put the Niners on his back and carry them to their first Super Bowl win in 18 years. I know that. We all do.But I'm not sure the San Francisco defense can do its part. In the last five games, here's what the Niners defense -- the one we all talk about as being so dominant -- has put on the board: Points allowed per game: 28.8. Yards allowed per game: 391.4. Sacks per game: 1.6. Sacks by Aldon Smith and Justin Smith: 0. So that's five ignominious weeks for a proud defense. And if we eliminate the Brian Hoyer start for toothless Arizona in the season finale, we're talking about a defense giving up 32 points a game over four games. And that, folks, can't be just wiped away under the gauzy storylines of a Super Bowl. Especially when that defense is going against a quarterback, Joe Flacco, who, in his last five games, hasn't thrown an interception. I just re-watched the second half of the Niners' win at New England in Week 15. The 19-minute destruction of the San Francisco defense by Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady was so thorough, so stunning. And I know -- Tom Brady makes lots of teams look bad. But touchdown drives of 73, 86, 66 and 92 yards in 19 minutes? Brady no-huddled on at least half the snaps, and that's become more and more of a Flacco staple since Jim Caldwell replaced Cam Cameron as offensive coordinator. Brady owned the Niners linebacker underneath, taking an endless string of nine yards here, seven there. Brady hit Brandon Lloyd over the top of Chris Culliver. Brady piled up 317 yards in a little more than a quarter, and never looked more in control of a game than he did for those 19 minutes. The next week, Russell Wilson put up 42 points on the Niners. And in the playoffs, Green Bay and Atlanta put up 829 yards. The only bright light for San Francisco was recovering in the second half of the NFC title game and shutting out the Falcons -- but imagine how things might have been different if Matt Ryan saw a wide-open Tony Gonzalez streaking for the end zone on the potential last-minute game-winning drive. On Sunday night, I expect a composed Joe Flacco to use that Brady tape against San Francisco. Caldwell has lots of experience against the Patriots from his Colts days. He has figured out that, like Brady, Flacco loves to command the offense in, at times, hurry-up mode and sometimes just as an effort to keep the defense from subbing. There is no doubt Flacco is going to be under pressure Sunday, and not just from a rested defense that will be desperate to regain its dominance. Flacco knows he's going to have to score in the high 20s, at least, to win, because the quarterback on the other side is not going to be stopped either. I think it'll be a terrific game, and when I pressed the button on Baltimore 27, San Francisco 23 on the night of the conference title games, I thought to myself, I could have picked San Francisco just as easily and been just as confident. But I'm not going back. In Flacco I trust. Player You Need to Watch This Weekend David Akers, kicker, San Francisco (No. 2). It's become a cliché now, the skepticism over the best kicker in the league in 2011. He missed eight field goals out of 52 in 2011. He's missed five in the last five weeks, doinking one off the upright in weather-less Atlanta in the championship game. In a desperate attempt to boost Akers' confidence, Jim Harbaugh's been talking about Akers like he's some clutch Adam Vinatieri, looking so great in practice and kicking peerlessly. Maybe the words will help Sunday, but I doubt it. Everyone from Sonoma to Santa Cruz hopes this game doesn't come down to a late San Francisco field goal. Five Things I'll Be Watching This Weekend 1. The final Baltimore game of a couple of legends. Ray Lewis, you know. Ed Reed, you figure. Very hard to imagine any way the Ravens -- who will be severely cash-strapped after the season with free agents Flacco, Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger to sign -- will invest a dime in the return of the 34-year-old Reed. Enjoy the last dance for both. 2. Aldon Smith trying to break a 20-quarter slump. He did have a good game in Atlanta, and sacks are overrated. But five games in a row without one is glaring for the man who once looked like a lock to break Michael Strahan's all-time single season record. 3. The Hall of Fame class of 2013. As unpredictable a year as there's been in a while, because there is not one sure thing on the 15-man list of modern-era finalists. Of the new guys, I sense Larry Allen is the strongest candidate. Of the returning candidates, Charles Haley. But I'm surprised by the process and the outcome every year. If I had to pick five logical enshrinees, I'd probably go Haley, Allen, Jonathan Ogden, Bill Parcells and Cris Carter. 4. Art Modell, Eddie DeBartolo. The Ravens and Niners being in the game, I keep hearing how nice it would be to see one or both get in. I can't speak for the other 45 voters, but if there were 100 factors, pro and con, on the cases of Modell and DeBartolo, the fact that the teams they once owned are in the Super Bowl would be 108. Of the two men, I sense more sentiment for DeBartolo. 5. Don't forget the senior candidates. This year, Green Bay linebacker Dave Robinson and Houston defensive tackle Curley Culp are the nominees. The senior candidates are discussed in the voting room first, and then voted on yes or no. If either gets 80 percent of the vote from the 46 voters, he's in. Obviously, then, it's easier to get in as a Senior nominee than in the modern-era process, in which 15 candidates are winnowed down to five.

The first-ever Pangea Day was a monumental success, and your participation played a big part.
People from everywhere tuned in to watch the live broadcast in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro and grassroots events flourished in cities, communities, and private homes.
The response has been tremendous. Here's a sampling of the voices we've heard from so far:
"This has been my dream to have such day for years, and today I see it come to reality!"
Farsheed, an Iranian-Canadian 'global citizen'
"I just stumbled onto the last half hour of the Pangea Day show here in Toronto and am so happy I did...I'm 48 yrs old and got the most wonderful feeling of finally belonging to a community that speaks to and for me...I'm going to check out the web site and find a drum to bang and some people to hug and love!
Ursula of Toronto, formerly of Kircubbin, Northern Ireland
"It's 4:00 am here and I couldn't go to bed without writing to you and telling you how beautiful, thought-provoking and deeply moving the experience was."
Rhea from Chandigarh, India
"Next year - and there MUST be a next year and many years thereafter - please have sponsors everywhere on our planet promoting and advertising this great event and making sure the world watches..."
Barbara, South Africa
"I did not intend to spend hours in front of the TV today but I could not turn it off. You have re-introduced hope in my life, and probably to millions of others today. You gave a gift to the world!"
Lisa, Victoria, BC
"Watching the different stories of people, I see that there is hope and will to come together, to unite. I hope to see Pangea Day every year."
Nabeel in Karachi, Pakistan.
"We are Islamic people. We're from Bangladesh. The Pangea Day event was great. We have to say, that was one of the greatest 4 hours of our lives!"
The Khan Family in Quebec, Canada
"I was touched, moved, and inspired. Coming from a third world country, which has a terrible reputation worldwide, where there is an extreme political unrest, suicide bombings all over the town...the events...made me feel a lot better. That maybe there is some hope."
Fizza in Pakistan
"We started watching the event with the intention to go for dinner at some point... But... we couldn't leave!"
Ana & Martin in Spain

Missense mutations of human fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) result in several skeletal dysplasias, including hypochondroplasia, achondroplasia and thanatophoric dysplasia. To study the function of FGFR3 in bone growth and to create animal models for the FGFR3-related inherited skeletal disorders, we introduced a point mutation (Lys644Glu) into the murine FGFR3 genome using a knock-in approach. We found that the Lys644Glu mutation resulted in retarded endochondral bone growth with severity directly linked to the expression level of the mutated Fgfr3. Mice heterozygous for the mutation ( Fgfr3(TD/+) ) expressed the mutant allele at approximately 20% of the wild-type level and exhibited a mild bone dysplasia. However, when the copy number of the mutant allele increased from one (Fgfr3(TD/+) to two (Fgfr3(TD/TD), the retardation of bone growth became more severe and showed phenotypes resembling those of achondroplasia patients, characterized by a dramatically reduced proliferation of growth plate cartilage, macrocephaly and shortening of the long bones, which was most pronounced in the femur. Molecular analysis revealed that expression of the mutant receptor caused the activation of Stat1, Stat5a and Stat5b, and the up-regulation of p16, p18 and p19 cell cycle inhibitors, leading to dramatic expansion of the resting zone of chondrocytes at the expense of the proliferating chondrocytes. The mutant growth plates consequently were in a less active state and generated fewer maturing and hypertrophic chondrocytes. These data provide direct genetic evidence that the point mutations in FGFR3 cause human skeletal dysplasias and uncover a mechanism through which the FGFR3 signals regulate bone growth by modulating expression of Stats and ink4 cell cycle inhibitors.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Skell, as a stereotypical or archetypal designation, refers to a person who is homeless, vagrant or derelict. It is often used to connote such a person who is habitually engaged in small-time criminal activity, especially by one working as a con artist or panhandler.
In its modern form, the use of skell as a slang term in the United States appears to date only from the 1960s, most especially from New York City. The word has sometimes been used by the police officer characters on the TV shows NYPD Blue, Third Watch, and Law and Order: SVU. It also appears in the 1964 novel Last Exit to Brooklyn by American author Hubert Selby, Jr.
Possible origins for the word include:
The term is used several times in the film Miller's Crossing, especially in regard to the character Bernie Bernbaum.
Crow T. Robot refers to Michael J. Nelson as a skell in a sketch performed in episode 905 of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Ed Burns (Mickey) refers to Mike McGlone (Francis) as a skell in the movie She's the One.
Joe Pesci (Nicky Santoro) uses the term skell in his rant to Robert De Niro (Sam Rothstein) in the movie Casino.
Police Officer Smitty refers to Bender as a skell when he and his partner, URL, are undercover in Little Bitaly in the second-season episode of Futurama entitled Bender Gets Made.
Within the Law & Order television series, the term has been casually used by leading characters such as Det. Lennie Briscoe, Det. Elliot Stabler and Det. Mike Logan.
In the Third Watch television series, the term has been frequently used in casual conversation between the leading NYPD characters such as John 'Sully' Sullivan, Maurice 'Bosco' Boscorelli and others.

The 10 Principles of Recovery
Topic Overview
Recovery means finding your path to a meaningful life. It puts you in control of your life and helps you gain self-confidence and respect for yourself. You can use recovery for substance abuse and mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
There are 10 principles of recovery. Place this list where you will see it every day, such as on the bathroom mirror.
- Your recovery is self-directed. You find your way to recovery through personal control, good decision-making, and independence. The choices you make are yours and yours alone.
- Your path is based on your personal needs, likes, and experiences. If you see your recovery as an ongoing journey, you'll be able to find the best physical and mental health.
- Your recovery empowers you. You're the only person who can turn your decisions into actions.
- Your recovery includes your mental, physical, and spiritual needs. It includes your family, friends, job, and community.
- Your recovery will have ups and downs. It's not a step-by-step process. It's a long-term process where you grow and build on your successes and setbacks.
- Your recovery is based on your ability to bounce back, cope, and make use of other talents. Value yourself and build on these strengths.
- Your recovery includes support from others. Make friends and build relationships. Join groups where you can help others and find purpose for yourself.
- Your recovery lets you respect yourself. Believe in yourself and meet your goals. Accept and take pride in what you can do.
- Your recovery shows that you take responsibility for yourself. Find the courage to work toward your goals.
- Your recovery gives you hope. You can overcome your problems.

Dr Stark is a Medical Eye Specialist practising as a Paediatric Ophthalmologist in Brisbane,Queensland. He specialises in the diagnosis and management of all eye disorders of children and also strabismus in adults.
A Paediatric Ophthalmologist is a medical and surgical eye specialist who has undertaken special training in eye disorders of children and who has a special interest in treating these disorders.
This involves firstly general medical training and graduation as a medical practitioner. Several years of general training completes this basic medical experience before several more years of intense study, training and further examination must be undertaken before qualification as a medical and surgical eye specialist.
Even further training, experience and expertise is then needed to practice as an eye specialist dealing with the special eye problems of childhood.
As a result of this extensive training and experience the paediatric Eye Specialist can manage both disorders specific to the eye and general medical conditions affecting the visual system.
This form of practice results in special expertise in managing all patients with Strabismus (Squint, Turned or Cross eyes). For this reason adult patients are often referred for management of these conditions as well as children.
The Visual Electro Diagnostic Clinic
In this clinic tests and examinations are performed to assist in the accurate diagnosis and management of many disorders of the Retina and the optic Nerve.This clinic is unique in Queensland. All tests are performed under the direction of Dr Stark who interprets the findings and forwards the results to the referring eye specialists.

One of the nicest parts of this so-called "Job" are the products I get to use and review that are not the stuff you find at your everyday Best Buy. One of the missions of a site like Mobilitysite, I feel, is to help smaller vendors reach their target audience with what they have to offer, just as we strive to connect our readers with products and information that they may not find elsewhere, or at least report the same stuff as everybody else in our own way.
A prime example of a vendor that most people would overlook when looking for an iPad case is Aligata. They are a small company in Eastern Europe, producing leather book style cases for only one device, the iPad. However, what they are producing are on a completely different level then the book style cases you will find in a mall-bound electronics store. Each case is handmade, each one is unique. I recently had the privilege of being challenged by Tom from Aligata to review one of his cases, and I took him up on it. I have been using Aligata's Black Espresso case for about a week now on my iPad.
Do I regret taking up the challenge? Read on.
The first advantage of working with a small, artisan vendor like Aligata was apparent as I opened up the FedEx envelope (which arrived on the exact day Aligata had said it would)…the attention to details. Inside the FedEx packaging was a second envelope holding the case, then INSIDE that envelope, the Black Espresso case itself was in a soft linen bag. It was clear this was not only to protect the leather but also to present the case properly. That is the kind of thing you expect from a craftsman more than a "vendor". That is not to say anything against cases made by large companies. Many are of exceptionally high quality, I have reviewed them and know. However, the feel is different when working with a good mid-sized company like Waterfield, Tom Bihn or Proporta which give a lot of personal attention, or the small shops like Saddleback or Aligata, where it is clear they view what they sell not as products, but as practical art. It was clear as I slipped the case out of the linen bag, that Aligata viewed this case as art they were passing on to me. That is a marvelous feeling.
The case itself was actually of higher quality than I was expected. Aligata tends to stress how raw and somewhat unfinished their cases are in their publicity material, but I didn't find this to be true. Maybe they have to deal with people who are only used to mass produced cases, and so have to warn them that they do not produce "cookie cutter perfect" items. As someone who is used to dealing with and enjoys hand made leather (in many different forms), I found the Black Espresso case to be very polished and well made. The leather is smooth and beautiful, cut and matched very professionally, and the stitching is strong and even.
In the picture to the left you can clearly see the pure grain of the leather. Leather of this quality doesn't get old, it ages and matures, only getting better as long as you care for it properly. This is another case for the ages, at least based on the materials…but what about the design?
Aligata takes a different design approach than your average case vendors. Most book style case vendors go for protection based on how snugly and securely the case fits the device, limiting it's motion…and by and large this works just fine. Aligata however goes the opposite way, and designs their cases to fit the iPad loosely, allowing for natural motion to act as a cushion. Since the device can move slightly away from the impact, it lets the leather more effectively absorb the shock. This would seem to make sense, but I am not eager to try it out.
Therefore, the iPad fits a bit loosely in the sturdy leather frame. At first that made me a bit nervous, but after I got used to it, this stopped bothering me. In fact I have come to like it, as it accentuates the handmade nature of the case.
An Aligata case doesn't fit the device down to the last micron, the same way that your clothing doesn't fit your body that way (well, assuming you stay away from the spandex)…however it fits the iPad more than well enough. All the required ports are accessible, it just may take a little effort to find the power button for example since the case is not skin tight on the iPad and the device may move around a bit. Again, once I got used to that, it stopped bothering me.
Another great advantage of a vendor like Aligata is how responsive they are to customers. Apparently some of the early cases had trouble with the device sliding out the side, and the frame covered the sensor that checks the light level in the room (for automatic brightness control).
Therefore, Aligata revised their designs based on feedback. They added a hole on the frame to let the light sensor operate, and also but a small plastic circle on the inside of the case, fitting just under the Apple logo on the iPad's back. It is subtle, and low tech, and can't harm the device or mar the lines of the case, but it does provide just enough friction and pressure to keep the case from moving in and out of the frame quite so easily to help avoid accidents
In fact, Aligata is careful to remind people who by the case that there are no closure devices on the case (as well as to explain why), and the inner edge of the frame is kept open to allow the iPad to be easily slipped in and out. That also means it can unfortunately slide out accidentally. Of course, all that is really required to prevent that to be careful with the device and to stay aware of it. However, many people assume that once they put a valuable and delicate piece of technology into a case, they don't need to take care when using or moving it.
Of course, that is nonsense, but it is also true that the Aligata case requires a little more care than most. That is especially true if you should fold the cover back when you hold the device (as I tend to do), since that will expose the open edge of the frame. Because the case is loose fitting, and there are no snaps or closures holding it closed you simply need to be conscious of not letting the iPad slip out. If you are the kind who will not be able to do that, or would prefer not to, then this is not a case for you.
At the end of the day, the Aligata case is definitely one of the finest I have reviewed. The leather is very high quality, the craftsmanship is superb and the design is intelligent and carefully thought out. While I may not agree with ALL the choices, the fact that each was carefully weighed and considered makes all the difference and you can feel it. That is the difference between a mass produced case and a hand made item. With an Aligata case you can feel the love and care put into it's creation, from perfecting the design to selecting the leather to constructing each individual case. No machine can infuse that sort of soul into leather….that requires art. I have had the privilege to work with very few companies that can do that…Aligata is one of them.
I strongly recommend Aligata cases and would love to see them expand their range beyond the iPad. If you are looking for a beautiful, functional book style case that will only get better as it ages and is a little bit different, then the Aligata Black Espresso is it.
You can order Aligata cases HERE for $69.96 ($59.95 if you hurry and get your order in before July 1st, so don't dawdle..and tell them Mobilitysite sent you).

The 2014 Women's History Month Project's (NWHP) national theme celebrates "Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment. The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park embraces the national theme in Estes Park by showcasing women in the arts and the individual contributions they make through educational and the national art scene. We invite you to experience this year's art created by women inspired by beauty and the human experience creating art from their hearts throughout the 2014 collection. For twenty seven years the Women?s History Exhibition in Estes Park has presented a diverse mix of visual arts in 2 and 3-dimensional work. From its humble beginning in a private home, to all of the different locations the women's art has been displayed, the spirit of the show has remained the same. The quality of the work has grown, and the Cultural Arts Council has and will be committed to represent all facets of the women's art movement through this exhibition annually. Arts patrons can experience quiet mountain scenes, classical still life, pensive portraiture, as well as, bold contemporary design and color. "Art from the Heart" celebrates the artist's inter beauty, passion, and the work they love to create. Artists are invited to select a work of art that best represents them. "Art from the Heart" embraces art mediums and techniques that are centuries old, and those representing a 21st century flare. The exhibition premieres emerging artists and celebrates renowned artists of the national art scene. Media includes oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, bronze, mixed media, pencil, photography, fiber, ceramics, glass and precious metals. The 27th annual Women's History Month Art Show, Art from the Heart, will feature work created by 50 women from Texas, Montana, New Mexico, and Colorado.

About the National Women?s History Project (NWHP) National Women's History Project 2014 March is National Women's History Month. 2014 National Women's History Month Theme & Honorees This year's theme, Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment, honors the extraordinary and often unrecognized determination and tenacity of women. Against social convention and often legal restraints, women have created a legacy that expands the frontiers of possibility for generations to come. They have demonstrated their character, courage and commitment as mothers, educators, institution builders, business, labor, political and community leaders, relief workers, women religious, and CEOs. Their lives and their work inspire girls and women to achieve their full potential and encourage boys and men to respect the diversity and depth of women?s experience. These role models along with countless others demonstrate the importance of writing women back into history.

Let's get this out of the way first: Whatever type of pattern you want for your home, whatever pattern makes you happy or suits your existing décor or fits into the new design you're planning, is appropriate – for you. But let's face it – the trendiest patterns are the ones you're going to find most easily, and hot patterns come and go with the seasons. Whether you want to be inside or outside of the box is up to you, but here's a closer look at the patterns that have had their heyday and up-and-coming alternatives.

You don't have to live in an apartment to appreciate apartment-size furniture. After all, homes come with rooms of all sizes, and some have tight spaces that may seem impossible to furnish or decorate. Until now. Apartment-size furniture (yes, it's actually called that), can give your bedroom, office, family room, or any small space plenty of personality on a smaller scale without making you feel like you live in a miniature world or that you're being swallowed up by oversized furniture.
Using words as décor has become a very powerful way to create visual appeal.
Nurseries are meant for babies, but who's going to be spending just as much time in there as them? Mama! Baby isn't going to have that big of an opinion on his or her surroundings until at least toddlerhood, which is why you should keep yourself and your needs in mind too as you design a nursery. It's not called nesting for nothing! Here are some ideas to help you feather the space.
Household organizational methods are crucial during the school year, with designated spots for backpacks, equipment, and more. Summertime is more relaxed when it comes to where a kid tosses his sneakers, but décor still matters, even more so now that your kids are home full-time. Here are 10 ways to make your home especially kid-friendly before school comes calling again.
When you're having your first child, it's easy to be swayed by the adorable bedding and décor sets featuring monkeys playing guitars or smiling butterflies. But if you're not into the matchy-matchy look, and you're really hoping for something more original for your child, whether you have babies, little kids, or tweens, here's a round-up of eclectic ideas to keep your kid's room cool and unique.
Neon is upbeat, exhilarating and festive, but using it to decorate your home can be a tricky task. The wrong implementation can create chaos, potentially look tacky and you are sure to be bored with it by the end of the season. Alternatively, the right neon can help establish a classic and long-lasting look that is far more than just a fad.
If you have been avoiding adding color to your home's current décor, maybe it's time to ask yourself, "Why?" Many times fears reside in the back of our minds. I fear color won't complement my current décor. I fear I will choose the wrong color combinations. I fear I will not love my chosen colors in the future. All these fears leave us sticking to a neutral palette, and although neutrals can be very beautiful and sophisticated, most of us would love to add a little "spice" to our life.
Have you set your New Year's resolutions for 2014? Do they involve redecorating your home or office? We know the importance of every minute detail along the road to a new or revamped interior design and we would like to ring in 2014 with 10 interior decorating resolutions to assist in your creation of inviting and comfortable spaces.
If you're the kind of person who changes the color of their walls to match the season, to ring in the New Year, to satisfy your whims, or just to have the most up-to-the-minuteroom décor in your neighborhood, you'll be delighted to know that Benjamin Moore has already announced the color trends for 2014.

21 Day Sugar Detox Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The 21-Day Sugar Detox is an eating plan designed to reduce or eliminate hunger and sugar cravings. The diet focuses on giving dieters a clear list of foods they can eat and foods they must avoid. Everything you need to kick the sugar habit is included in the virtual plan available for download after you purchase access for just $21. There are tons of testimonials on the official website, but most of the raving statements are from professionals who focus on clean eating or paleo dieting. Paleo dieting is essentially sugar free to begin with so having these testimonials on the website is a bit confusing.
List of Ingredients
- Sugar elimination diet.
Product Features
On the 21-Day Sugar Detox you will replace simple and complex sugars with lean proteins, vegetables and healthy fats. Pictures of food on the website include fish, avocado, greens and mashed cauliflower that look a lot like mashed potatoes. But, there are no potatoes or other carbohydrates allowed on this plan. The idea is to eliminate the carbohydrates that cause cravings and replace them with clean foods with low carbohydrate content. If the plan sounds a lot like Atkins and other low carbohydrate diets it's because the idea is similar.
While there's not much information on the main portion of the page about the 21-Day Sugar Detox there is a huge amount of information in the FAQs section. You must eliminate ALL sweeteners, even sugar-free varieties, ALL alcohol and tons of other foods and drinks.
In addition to radically changing your diet and drink intake, it is also suggested that you take supplements. The supplements suggested on the diet are not revealed unless you purchase the plan but we can guarantee they will not contain caffeine or other stimulants.
- The 21-Day Sugar Detox will reduce sugar cravings.
- Few dieters report weight loss while on the plan.
- May be too strict for some dieters.
- Few of the approved foods are revealed before purchase.
- Supplements are suggested, but the dieter must pay to find out which ones.
We are not sold on the 21-Day Sugar Detox as a weight loss plan, but we are sold on the science of the plan. If you eliminate sugar and processed food intake for 21 days you will stop craving those foods. However, the fat content of the diet is crucial to feeling full while reducing carbohydrate intake. The diet feels like a detox form of the Atkins diet.

Foothills Church of Christ is now at the tail-end of a project to upgrade the projector and provide a whole new infrastructure for all its audiovisual needs. If you're interested in video setups for churches you may find this of interest – particularly if you currently use or are considering EasyWorship as your presentation software.
This post will comprise an overview of the features, some design notes and a final point-to-point diagram of the video setup. In my next post I describe the important components in more detail, including some issues and how we've mitigated them.
Adrian Ward created this design in 2010 according to the requirements specified by Jeffrey Kemp, Joshua Pitman and Neil Ward.
- Ceiling-mounted widescreen projector with remote control
- Ceiling-mounted motorised retractable screen
- Vocal monitors (to show song words to backing singers)
- Free-standing pulpit with builtin monitor (for worship leader)
- Video send from PC on sound desk ("sound desk PC")
- Video send from visiting speaker's laptop, hidden in pulpit
During a typical worship service, all kinds of media are projected on the screen, under the control of the sound desk PC, including:
- song lyrics
- scripture portions
- welcome and announcement slides
- powerpoints
- video files
- DVDs
- other media
EasyWorship 2009 is used to provide a library of song lyrics, plan and schedule all items for the service, and present all the above media types. This software provides a second "vocal foldback" view which adds a clock, a "next slide" indicator, and a video "time remaining" counter, which in this setup is sent to one or more vocal monitors as well as the pulpit monitor.
The sound desk PC has a single 22" LCD monitor, with a VGA 4-way switch which allows the operator to easily switch between the PC primary display, and the two secondary outgoing video feeds. The EasyWorship software does have preview modes for the secondary feeds, but this does not show videos being played, so the switch makes it possible to see exactly what is being sent out to FOH. The sound desk PC only has two VGA outputs, but the second output is a double-wide widescreen display which is split into two feeds by a Matrox DualHead2Go.
The pulpit has a builtin 16" WS LCD monitor, and a VGA 4-way switch which allows the leader to switch between the projector feed, the vocal monitor feed, and a local feed (e.g. from a visiting speaker's laptop). The visitor's laptop is hidden inside the pulpit (pictured here is a small Eee PC), and in addition to a powerboard for power, has the following connectors available for it:
- VGA out (gets sent to the pulpit monitor input #3 as well as the projector's input #2)
- USB cable to the USB DI box (for audio, gets sent to the sound desk)
- USB dongles for a wireless keyboard and trackpad (not pictured)
This setup means that the leader can see the song lyrics that are being projected behind him, and switch to see what his laptop is sending. He can see what his laptop is sending, even if it is not actually being displayed on the screen behind him. The sound desk PC operator can access the projector's web control interface to switch the input between EasyWorship and the pulpit.
The complete point-to-point installation is illustrated here. This does not include the audio connections. Some components are not installed (potential for future expansion) – shown in grey.
So far the setup has worked really well, and the feedback has been very positive. We've had a few minor glitches, but it's looking like a keeper.
In my next post I describe the important components (including the projector, screen, PC and VGA extenders) in more detail, including some issues and how we've mitigated them.

Best Picture Breakdown: Captain Phillips
POSTED: Sunday, March 2, 2014 - 12:00pm
UPDATED: Sunday, March 2, 2014 - 12:14pm
It's award season in Hollywood and one of the most sought after awards is an Oscar. This year several deserving figures have received nominations. From Leonardo DiCaprio's nomination for Best Actor, to the team of Gravity receiving a nomination for their achievement in visual effects. While these nominations are great, none are more coveted than that of Best Picture. Just a few years ago the Best Picture category increase from 5 nominations to 10, but was soon changed to where each year up to 10 films can receive a nomination. This year 9 films made the cut; American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, 12 Years A Slave, The Wolf Of Wall Street.
Though it is a moment in history that is still somewhat fresh, Captain Phillips is an entertaining and intense look at the 2009 hijacking of the American cargo ship MV Maersk Alabama.
While shipping cargo off the coast of Africa, Captain Richard Phillips, played by Tom Hanks, and his crew are put to the test when a small group of Somalia pirates board their ship. After negotiations go sour, the pirates take Phillips hostage.
The film starts out several days before the hijacking, providing time for character development. It not only gives us a look at life for Phillips but it also shows us a bit of what drove the pirates to hijack the ship. From there it goes into the events leading up to the actual hijacking.
Pacing the story very well, Director Paul Greengrass does a fantastic job at telling an incredible story, while staying true to the real-life events. There are several directors out there who could have made the film over the top, but that wasn't the case. He took his time, slowly building upon what the public already knew about the events and used it to his advantage. Another thing Greengrass did really well was cast unknown actors to play the role of the pirates. This created an almost real sense of danger. It would have been less effective if Denzel Washington played the antagonist.
The acting by all involved is great throughout the entire movie, but how everyone acted and how everything was executed in the last 30 minutes of the movie was the most notable. Even when no dialogue was used, the fear and confusion can be felt just from the expression on each actor's face.
Now this film was extremely good, but one problem I had with it was it missed an opportunity to explain why exactly the pirates took over the ship. The film touches on it by saying it's because they were left with no other choice. The film could have elaborated and given the audience a look at the motivation of those who have to resort to extreme measures in order to survive Africa.
All in all Captain Phillips is a fantastic movie with minor flaws. It is worth the two hours and 13 minutes of your life.
Though it's a strong film, it's going up against so heavy hitters this year, and unfortunantly I don't think it had the lasting impression on audiences and critics to win Best Picture.

Days 76-79: Twelve Saigon Memories
Trip Start
May 20, 2008
Trip End
Aug 19, 2008
Where I stayed
Ngoc Thao Guesthouse
1. $6 martinis in the top floor bar of the Sheraton Saigon, looking down over the neon city below with a murky overcast sunrise. I was silent through most of it, entranced by this one really trippy LG sign in the distance, near what I think was Ben Thanh market. Jeff jokingly tried to zap me out of the trance it put me in. "No Charles, no! Don't stare into the light!"
2. Mr. Bao, a nutty motorcycle driver who befriended us on our way to a jazz club one of the earlier nights. We were happy to make a sincere friend at first, but it soon became clear Mr Bao's social skills were not the greatest as he'd steer our conversation in endless circles, never pausing for a breath (or allowing us a non-rude escape.) We chatted deeply about China, the US, relations between Vietnam and the US, Vietnam's (bad) history with China, etc... Then he looped around and started talking about it again:
"We know! We know! My government know China government. That why they be America friend. America better than China. We know China, we not like China. My government know. They know! We try to be Europe's friend, America's friend. China bad. (he didn't much like China)" As I kept egging him on, trying to be social... little did I know that the hour was passing 11 and poor Jeff was no longer amused by this funny guy's nonstop yammering. The interaction somehow ended and our nightlife plans largely foiled. I told Jeff to nudge me on the shoulder the next time a conversation needed to end. We promised to call Bao and invite him to some beer and pool, we never called him.
One of the two final Saigon nights, we were enroute to the Apocalypse Now club and guess who rolls on up? Bao!
"Heeeyy friend, why you no call me for beer?"
Jeff and I exchanged "you've gotta be kidding me" glances and returned Mr Bao's greeting. He again started ranting about the evils of China when I received an expected nudge on my shoulder. I rammed my way into his ranting, asked if he could drive us to the club on his bike, and so he did. That was the last time we bumped into silly Mr Bao.
3. The Love Park. After getting off at the wrong bus stop enroute to the Jade Pagoda (it wouldn't be until Thursday that we'd make it there), we stopped in a local bakery to buy some pastries and sat down in the adjacent park. It seemed like this park was the only place in the city where PDA wasn't taboo, because every bench was occupied by young couples making out with each other. Where there wasn't love, there were late middle aged or elderly Saigonese men and women doing the same bizarre aerobics we saw in the Bangkok park. Jeff snapped a video of the funniest, a guy hopping along the pavement like a kangaroo, squatted as far as his legs would go. Some sort of hip-building exercise? Who knows.
4. Apocalypse Now. A thumping, raving, if not terribly large nightclub housing the most expensive beer of the trip. I had my best dancing-with-ladies luck in Charles History here, though none resulted in anything beyond dancing. Jeff also had similar luck, and also did not go beyond dancing due to no longer being "on the market." Have I mentioned how beautiful Vietnamese girls are? They are HOT. I must marry one. So let it be written, so let it be done...
5. The motorcycle ride back from the club, at the hands of two crazy college kids who decided this would be a good time to start racing each other to our hotel. My guy nearly scraped a corner curb at what must have been 60+ mph, almost killing both of us, and I'm sure the same or similar happened on Jeff's bike. Damn college kids.
6. The crazy demon old guy motorbike driver. We got caught in rain enroute to the riverfront and hired a motorcycle taxi to take us the rest of the way. The driver was a skinny old man who seemed sane at first, but as soon as he revved up that bike... wow. The bike zoomed at breakneck speed through the intersections, as this old guy literally cackled with sadistic glee and shouted at any other bike drivers getting in his way. Judging by the amount of yelling going on between bike drivers at the intersections, whole relationships must be born and burned while waiting for that red light to turn green...
7. Green tea milkshakes from Fannies... I think I gave Jeff a bazillion headaches each time I insisted we go back to this store.
8. The coffee house above our traffic circle and its server. At this coffee house, you were provided with a constant supply of some sort of cheap watery iced tea while you waited on or drank the drink you actually ordered. Think of it like the free glasses of tap water at American restaurants. After two glasses of this free tea, the server came along again to refill my cup. No longer wanting any, I gave him a very clear "no thanks," waving my hands around over the cup.
Long awkward silence.
The server slowly, silently tilted his pitcher, and without saying anything served me a third cup and walked away, still awkward.
9. The poster. Posted along one of the main streets near our guesthouse was an advertisement featuring the single hottest Asian model either of us had ever seen in our lives, clad in gym wear. We made sure to pass this poster at least twice a day and took a picture of it the final time to pass on to posterity.
10. The intrigued marijuana dealer. On a walk back from the club area late at night, we rejected yet another of the countless offers of weed we received. Upon rejecting, the tout stroked his chin and in an almost Samurai voice said to himself:
"White men tourist who do not want marijuana? Velly interestiiing..."
11. The t-shirt sellers try to trick Jeff again. Back in Ben Thanh market, Jeff was buying some t-shirts and needed a medium of a particular size. She, the seller, took the large he was holding out of view, and returned same shirt in hand, except the tag had been cut off and sloppily replaced with an "M" sticker. Jeff held the shirt up, noticed the huge size, and called her on her antics. So ensued another "Noooo it's the same size! ARGH!", half-joking argument which ended in Jeff not buying the shirt and the girl spanking him with a rolled up newspaper for being too smart. A slap on the shoulder or spank with an inanimate object is a usual sorta-flirty-but-not-really thing women of all ages here will do when interacting with you. It makes me snicker.
12. Whiskey Night. Anyone who needs to know this story probably already does. Heh.
HCMC overall: Bustling with tangible energy like no city I've ever seen, save for maybe NYC, filled with the quirkiest, funniest of people... Yet in all its chaos, it still manages to have this cozy, French Colonial air about it. Very few spots on the trip managed to make me feel at home at all, but this was one of those rare few. I missed it anytime we ventured out into the boondocks, and got that relaxed feeling one only gets at home almost right off the bat. I'll be back one day to meet my wife, just wait and see.
