Regular caffeine consumption reduces sensitivity to caffeine. When caffeine intake is reduced, the body becomes oversensitive to adenosine. In response to this oversensitiveness, blood pressure drops dramatically, causing an excess of blood in the head (though not necessarily on the brain), leading to a headache.
This headache, well known among coffee drinkers, usually lasts from one to five days, and can be alleviated with analgesics such as aspirin. It is also alleviated with caffeine intake (in fact several analgesics contain caffeine dosages).
Often, people who are reducing caffeine intake report being irritable, unable to work, nervous, restless, and feeling sleepy, as well as having a headache. In extreme cases, nausea and vomiting has also been reported.

I'm 15 and I've been drinking coke for a while. Two to three cans a day, and they're small cans. But I got sick and I knew I shouldn't be drinking coke while being sick, so I started to drink orange juice and water.. Well, for a few nights now, I've been feeling like I can't breathe and my heart races and I can't sleep. I went to the doctor and he said everything was fine with me.. So, could I be feeling this way simply because I haven't been drinking coke?
I have been off all caffeine for 6 days now. After a few days of slight headache, I thought that was it, now I am going through other symptoms. Aches and pains and restlessness but I am determined not to give up as I've come this far. I just want everyone to know that milk has been of great help to me. Plain old full cream milk just heated in the microwave and sipped slowly has given me some relief from the symptoms. I have also taken 2 paracetamol when things get really bad. I hope this is of some help to fellow sufferers. Best wishes for Christmas from the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Tanya, don't give up. Feeling like a completely new person is around the corner. Took me 2 weeks. It is amazing how much better you will feel. I'm starting caffeine free again. Was doing great for 4 months than just had one Mt. Dew and fell into the habit again. :( One Mt Dew is great for a little pick me up to do my chores, than I need more and more to get the same lift and to not feel run down. THAN 1 month later I am chugging the stuff to not go through withdrawels and get headaches!!!!!!!! A great book to read is "Caffeine Blues" It goes into detail of the effects of caffeine on your mind and body. I'm here cheering you on!!
I wanted to know if anybody else feels like they've had long term withdrawal problems. Over about 10 years I went from very little caffeine to needing about 4 cups, or a full dark french press worth in the morning just to avoid a headache. Another at lunch. If I needed to feel up, I'd have several more equivalent shots. I had to quit because I could not sleep if I had any after lunch and if I did that then I'd be a complete bear in the evenings around my family and wake up with a headache in the morning (early withdrawal). My vision would also get blurry if I got stressed out and i got generally sensitive to lights and sound. I finally succeeded in quiting about 3 years ago, after going through terrible acute withdrawal. I get massive migraines (which as a guy, I'd never had before) between days 3-5 of cold turkey. I can get through that because I know it goes away after that. My problem was that I'd feel dumb and slow and had no motivation to do anything. I now know this as mild depression, which I was OK with as long as I could just mope around the house. But I felt that my family needed me to get stuff stuff done, or my wife would complain about low sex drive, and I'd fall off the wagon. To get off completely, I had to quit work and lay low. I'd use what little energy I had to get basic housework done. The depression has lifted verrrrrrry slowly, but worse, I seem to have worse sleep problems than before (I used to lay awake and think too much but now I've developed sleep apnea instead). Also, my nose is dry and swells shut at night, which did not happen when I was obeying my addiction. The apnea literature says that caffeine can help, so I'm trying to figure out what affect coming off of a big addiction has had on the tissues around my throat and nose. If I have a little caffeine, it seems to help a little. But i dont want to have a bunch to see if it clears up completely. In the meantime, I've been trying to take up chamomile, meditation and yoga, but I was raised red neck and its been really hard to get all hippy like this.
Advice welcome,
Hi Ed,
LOL on your comment about "getting all hippy" with chamomile, yoga and meditation, but I just want to let you know that (at least based on my experience) what you are going through is definitely part of withdrawing from the caffeine drug. Having a little caffeine WILL ease some of the symptoms, but it's kind of like paying one credit card with another.
I once read that it takes A FULL YEAR for your body to completely return/heal from a caffeine addiction and I believe it. The longest I could go was four months.
It sucks. I hope you hang in there.
Hi Everyone. In response to the previous two posts, I would like to offer an update. I was a frequent contributor to this forum, along with someone named Dave, about a year ago. Like you, I had gone through the physical agony of caffeine withdrawal including the nightmare headaches, body aches, pain around my heart and shakes. After four months I felt like a new person! I slept deeply and soundly, had tons of energy and FINALLY had no more tinnitus (ringing in my ears). I stopped coming here to post and everything was going well.
UNTIL one Sunday morning when I smelled that wonderful coffee aroma as my husband brewed a pot and I grabbed a cup. I clearly remember saying to him "Oh, it's been 16 weeks - what harm can one cup do?"
And just like that, I was once again addicted. That cup led to one more that Sunday, one on Tuesday morning, blah blah blah. I sleep like crap again, my ears ring and in all, I'm disgusted with myself. Guess what my New Year's resolution is? :) (Love you guys!)
Hi, Denise :) Long time, no see. I can only assume that I'm the Dave you were talking about, because I don't remember another Dave posting on here. I'm ashamed to admit that I too am back on caffeine, heavily. After going over one month of being caffeine free, I started to feel great. I was calmer, happier, and had the same steady energy throughout the day. However, I also developed bad sleep issues, like waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. Long story short, I"m back on caffeine. I've also decided to pursue my dream of being a medical doctor, so I'm back in school. I'm going to try to quit again this Summer, when things will be more relaxed and, hopefully I will be more successful. But until then, things will be (and have been) way too hectic.
I'm sorry to see that you too have fallen back in. It's tough because when you start using caffeine again, you feel incredible for the first few weeks. It truly is a drug! I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your quest to again kick the habit. Happy New Year to you and everyone here,
Now I have to get back that damn CAPTCHA. Why must it be so difficult?!?
Hi Dave - yes, my friend, you are the Dave to whom I was referring. :-)
And here we are, both back under the influence of our Dark Master. UG! I'm so sorry to see a fellow poster fall as hard as I have. Congratulations on your medical field pursuit - what a wonderful goal you have! As for the sleep issues, you are absolutely correct - I found that the first two months of being clean were the worst as far as my sleep patterns - I would fall off to sleep almost instantly, sleep deeply for about two hours and then sleep fitfully for the rest of the night. My God, I can't imagine what caffeine is really, truly doing to our bodies.
I always come back to this board for support, including this morning when I saw your post - thank you! Now that the holidays are over, my traveling is behind me and I am thoroughly disgusted with myself for once again having to face a new and horrible withdrawal, I am making "THE VOW" once again, LOL.
My birthday is May 5th, which is 17 weeks from tomorrow. I'm going to drink coffee all day today and then that's it!!!!! A 17-week detox. Please wish me luck and I hope you, too, will succeed at some point in getting clean and de-caffeinated. Cyber hug! :-) Denise
Great to see on here again! As for me, the sad part is that I never made the connection between the sleep problems and continued caffeine withdrawal. I had been free of caffeine for over a month and felt great, so it did not occur to me that my problems were caffeine-related. Now, after reading your story and the stories of others, I strongly believe that caffeine withdrawal was the culprit. Since being on caffeine, I have not had one experience of waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to go back to sleep. If these problems occur next time, I'm going straight to the doctor, and hopefully he can help.
I've taken the last few days off of caffeine in an attempt to lower my tolerance, as I was drinking way too much. My head is killing me and I threw up several times, and was also up for quite awhile last night. Thankfully, the worst seems to be over. I truly hope your latest attempt at withdrawal goes well. Please post and let us all know that you are okay :) You have my total e-support.
It is good to read that others have the same experience with regards to caffeine addiction. My husband doesn't understand that it's "all or nothing" for me, and that I can't just have some every once in awhile. I don't remember it having such impacts in my early 20s, but definitely since I was 25 or 26 (I'm 31 now).
Caffeine strongly affects my mood (providing a very effective upper), energy levels, and I always crave more after I've had even a few sips. I detox about once a year, usually, and this time I want it to stick (even though I will miss the taste of coffee).
I have recently been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease and am trying to support my adrenal glands (meaning NO caffeine!).
Happy New Year to you and here's to a caffeine-free 2011!

Le Creuset Le Creuset Cast Iron 10.75" Crepe Pan
About the ManufacturerFrom start to finish, Le Creuset is the ingredient that brings every meal together. In kitchens around the world, Le Creuset has been trusted for over 80 years for its legacy of style and quality. Their brilliant colors and user-friendly cookware have created an unforgettable dining experience. Trusted by those who appreciate every flavor's subtle complexities, Le Creuset invites you to enjoy food and life to the fullest. Since 1925, Le Creuset has designed and manufactured Enameled Cast Iron cookware at their foundry in Fresnoy-Le-Grand, Northern France. It began by hand-casting molten cast iron in sand molds, still the most delicate stage of the production process. After casting, each piece of cookware is polished, sanded by hand, and scrutinized for imperfections. Once declared suitable for enameling, the items are sprayed with two separate coats of enamel and fired at a temperature of 1472F. The enamel then becomes extremely hard and durable, making it almost completely resistant to damage during normal use. Since much of the finishing is done by hand, each piece of Enameled Cast Iron cookware is completely unique.

A little smaller than I expected (that's on me of course for not measuring), but as with all things Le Creuset, wonderful quality. I love the beautiful blue color. The package also includes a wooden spatula (in addition to the batter spreader) to aid with removal of the finished crepe and booklet of recipes in a number of different languages. Fast shipping - arrived several days ahead of schedule, which is always a delightful surprise.
Susan from westminster, CO– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
I have always struggled trying to make crepes in a saute pan...without much luck. This pan is perfect and the spreader and spatula that come with it allow me to spread the batter evenly and lift the crepe out with tearing...and Le Creuset quality can't be beat!
Great crepes!
Vivian from Portland`, OR– Verified Buyer
Cast iron holds the heat and the spreader tool makes thin crepes. Love it.

Great Crepe pan! Easy to make crepes with authentic French tools.
Hoped for lighter weight.
Marianne from Burlington, NC– Verified Buyer
Lave how cooks creeps! But for such a thin cast iron pan it is extremely heavy and I have a :5 year old cast iron pan , which is wider and deeper and it weights the same size. Also I would have hoped the handle would have been wider to be better able to get better handle with pot holder.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Simply sensational
Some of the best dishes in the city are served at little, easily overlooked spots
Not all the great foods are found in grand establishments. Many delicious dishes are overlooked because they are served in simpler or smaller spaces, and the following list is a reminder of some of the outstanding ones of the past year.
The most typical pub meal I had was J.FOX'S fabulously flavourful cottage pie, which comes in a heat-conserving ceramic crock -- juicy, perfectly seasoned ground beef layered with mashed potatoes and glazed with cheddar.
There's also Irish stew with Guinness-spiked gravy, great salmon cakes to start with and a Guinness-spiked chocolate cake to finish with (sounds odd but it's delicious). 414 Academy Rd., 487-3035.
The choices at THE GROVE PUB are less typically pubby, but equally delicious. Pork belly is popping up everywhere but I've yet to find a version that equals these near-caramelized slices, perched on a bed of pureed sweet potatoes and served with house-made pickles. They also make one of the town's better burgers -- super thick and oozing beefy juices, a great prime rib sandwich, and oh lord yes, a glorious sticky toffee pudding. 164 Stafford St., 415-3262.
PRAIRIE INK's three-tiered tray offers any three appetizers of your choice. In my case, chicken livers with wild mushrooms in a dark, winey sauce on creamy polenta; gingery and truly crabby crab cakes with lime aioli, and three massive samosas. Alternately you could dine a la carte on the pickerel tower with portobellos entrée, or snack on a superb crumbly scone. 1120 Grant Ave., 975-2659
There's no decor at BARAKA PITA but whether they come to eat in or take out, the devotees of its savoury Lebanese specialties pack the place. Big, billowy house-made pitas are stuffed with chicken shwarma doused in garlic sauce or with ground lamb kabob and tahini. There's a great selection of appetizers, notable among them the roasted red pepper hummus, and a selection of exquisite little middle eastern pastries. 1783 Main St., 334-2004.
We have only one Persian restaurant, and we have to drive out of town to get to it. At present DARAKEH offers only a few specialties (possibly more, eventually) but among them are minty mashed eggplant, as well as chunks of marinated chicken and ground beef kabobs enlivened by sumac, and glorious, buttery rice. 445 Main St., St. Adolphe, 883-2807.
Under its new owners, VIENTIANE still dishes up a marvellous tom kao peak noodle-chicken soup, fragrant with lime juice, roasted garlic and chilis. Also worth trying are the steamed calamari salad, a matsuman chicken curry and two fish dishes -- basa stir-fried with veggies in a subtle sweet-and-sour sauce, and a coconut-creamy red curry of cobbler fish. 208 Marion Street, 235-1576.
My best pizza of the year? The one at A LITTLE PIZZA HEAVEN, on a crust of perfect medium thickness, with a fine spongy texture and a glaze of garlic butter -- so good you'll eat the unadorned edges. The toppings are generous and good, and the calzone -- a one pound monster with your choice of fillings -- is a stunner. 120 Osborne Street, 777-5255.
Some of EUROPEAN MEATS' cured products are Hungarian, some are generically East European, most are garlicky and all are good. One great delight for me was the corned beef -- not the dry, commercially packaged round of beef that turns up in deli sandwiches everywhere, but the genuine old-fashioned kind, from a fat-streaked brisket with all the juice and flavour of that noble cut of beef. 533 Burrows Ave., 586-2728.
Add two superb new ones to our city's many fine bakeries. LAKOMKA is as much deli as bakery, offering such Russian delicacies as pelmeni dumplings, garlicky cholodetz aspic, pork-stuffed potato pancakes, and assorted blini.
The breads are wonderful -- garlic, olive, multigrains and baguettes among them -- and there are such sweets as cream-filled cakes, peach Danishes, a superb apple strudel and irresistible shortbread and pecan cookies. 5606 Roblin Blvd., 885-2253.
You can enjoy a pork schnitzel sandwich in the sunny little cafe, but the CRUSTY BUN's soul is in its eponymous crusty buns -- either the white or the multigrain strewn with sunflower seeds -- and in its sourdough German ryes, whole grain loaves and dense, dark pumpernickels. Also in the luscious apple cake or bee-sting cake layered with pastry cream, and the fabulous jam-busters. And don't miss the pretzels twisted with ham and cheese. 1026 St. Mary's Rd., 257-7311.
You have to be really sociable to eat at one of BOON BURGER's two long communal tables but everything is available for take-out. You also have to like vegan food, since vegan burgers are all they serve, tucked into thick, whole-grain buns. The Buddha Burger -- a curried chickpea patty with peach chutney -- was my favourite but I also liked the tapenade-tangy Greek burger and the maple-glazed yam and cranberry sauce "turkey" patty. 79 Sherbrook St., 415-1391.
Love coffee? In which case, have you ever tried Ethiopian coffee? It's been good wherever I've had it, but the best ever was at HARMAN'S -- an improbably named Ethiopian restaurant (honouring the fabled drugstore food counter where the owner worked for years). The aroma of the roasting-to-order beans fills the restaurant, and the fabulously rich, velvety brew is served in tiny cups. The Ethiopian food is delicious too. 570 Sargent Ave., 774-6997.

The King Khan & BBQ Show Return With Bad News Boys, Share "Alone Again"
By Evan Minsker on January 6, 2015 at 12:17 p.m. EST
The King Khan & BBQ Show : "Alone Again" (via SoundCloud)
A few years ago, it seemed that there was trouble in paradise between the King Khan & BBQ Show. It appears that's all in the past, as the duo, fresh off a recent tour with the Black Lips, have announced their new album Bad News Boys. King Khan and Mark Sultan's follow-up to 2009's Invisible Girl is out February 24 via In the Red. That's "Alone Again" above.
Mark Sultan Collaborates With Black Lips, Prepares Two New Albums, and More
By Marc Hogan on August 25, 2011 at 4:05 p.m. EDT
With a barrage of planned new releases, Mark Sultan embodies the word "prolific." First off, the Canadian garage-rocker (also known as the "BBQ" half of the King Khan & BBQ Show) has two new LPs on the way. Whatever I Want and Whenever I Want are set to arrive in a limited color vinyl run this October on In the Red. A CD called Whatever/Whenever, culling tracks from both, will follow. Among the collaborators on the albums are members of Black Lips and the Gories.

Premiere: Almighty Defenders (Black Lips/King Khan/BBQ): "Cone of Light"
By Ryan Dombal on August 10, 2009 at 3:35 p.m. EDT
Photo by David Waldman
The Almighty Defenders are a new garage-rocking dream band made up of Black Lips, King Khan, and Mark Sultan (aka BBQ). The crew's self-titled debut LP is due September 22 on Vice, and the first leaked track-- wily howler "Bow Down and Die"-- is already leading questionably sober sing-alongs all over the internet.
Now we get trickle number two in the form of a song called "Cone of Light", which shimmies with some Sam Cooke-y gospel swagger. Stream and/or download it after the jump:
The King Khan & BBQ Show Announce New Album in Typically Wacky Fashion
By Tom Breihan on July 31, 2009 at 8:00 a.m. EDT
The King Khan & BBQ Show, wacky motherfuckers that they are, don't announce new albums via press release, the way sane people do. Instead, the dynamic garage rock duo jump on their MySpace page and post an alternately informative and annoying "KKBBQ Infomercial" featuring tons of song clips and goofy voices. (Whoever does the Snaggletooth impression should really consider never doing a Snaggletooth impression again.)
So here's the pertinent information: The new album will be called Invisible Girl. It's out on November 3. The infomercial promises "12 songs loaded with kicks", and someone describes it as "a love story of hate."
The duo's publicist has also filled in some blanks. Garage powerhouse In the Red will release the album in the U.S. (Paper Bag will release it in Canada), which Khan and BBQ recorded last year in Brooklyn and Berlin. The tracklist is after the jump.
Hear an Almighty Defenders (Black Lips/King Khan/BBQ) Track
By Tom Breihan on July 7, 2009 at 2:45 p.m. EDT
Last month, we reported on the formation of the Almighty Defenders, the new supergroup comprised of the Black Lips and hedonistic garage-rock compatriots King Khan and BBQ (aka Mark Sultan). After the Lips escaped arrest in India earlier this year, they jetted to Berlin and recorded the Almighty Defenders' self-titled debut album, which is due September 22 from Vice Records. That's the cover above.
And now you can hear a song from that LP, the adorably titled "Bow Down and Die". It's pretty much what you'd expect from this lot: A drunken mass singalong over a reverbed-out swamp-rock guitar riff, the sort of thing that goes just right with vast quantities of cheap beer.
Black Lips + King Khan + Mark Sultan = Almighty Defenders
By Amy Phillips on June 19, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. EDT
Hey remember back in January when Black Lips had all that drama in India and they ended up getting the hell out of the country as quickly as possible? Well, as we reported, they ended up safely in Berlin, where they hung out with their buddies King Khan and BBQ (aka Mark Sultan).
While everybody was in town, they formed a big ol' supergroup together and recorded an album. The Lips/Khan/BBQ teamup has been given the name the Almighty Defenders, and they'll release their self-titled debut September 22 on Vice Records.
The Almighty Defenders played their first show June 17 at NXNE. Apparently, they wore choir robes. Black Lips are on tour now; they'll hit the Pitchfork Music Festival on July 18. The King Khan & BBQ Show is also on the road.

News in Brief: Devo, Mark Sultan, Daedelus, the Soft Pack, Thieves Like Us
By Ryan Dombal on March 6, 2009 at 5:05 p.m. EST
Photo by Kathryn Yu
-- For the first time in the history of this earth, new wave nutballs Devo will perform their classic 1978 Brian Eno-produced debut, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! , in its entirety live in concert. Front to back, "Mongoloid", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Jocko Homo" and the rest. The Don't Look Back show goes down at London's Kentish Town Forum May 6. The yellow-jumpsuited crew will hit SXSW this month and ATP's Fans Strike Back fest at Butlins Holiday Centre in Minehead, England May 8.
-- When people talk about the "BBQ Show" part of the King Khan & BBQ Show , they're talking about garage rock mainstay Mark Sultan. The singer/songwriter/shaman releases new single "Hold On" (featuring a Joe Meek cover on the flip) on Sub Pop this Tuesday, March 10. Sultan is also touring with and without King Khan this spring, starting with a run of shows at SXSW.
-- Busy days for pastiche DJ-producer Daedelus. The L.A. artist has a couple new projects out now: the self-titled debut from the Long Lost (aka Daedelus and wife Laura Darlington) on Ninja Tune and an EP, split with L.A. duo Jogger, for the new Friends of Friends series, which promotes socially and environmentally progressive music industry practices. And the Friends of Friends release comes with a dippy t-shirt and remixes! Daedelus and his beloved are gigging through Europe as the Long Lost right now.
-- Lo-fi indie rockers the Soft Pack are ready to release a digital EP, The Muslims, March 10 via Kemado. You see, the band used to be called the Muslims, so they're cutting their losses and making an attempt at cleverness with the title of the new EP. Good on them. They're also playing a ton of shows right now.
-- Hipster-porn dance band Thieves Like Us , known for their addictive track "Drugs in My Body", come out with their first album, Play Music , this Tuesday, March 10 April 7 in the U.S. Fantasy Memory will release the CD, while Shelf Life will release the vinyl and the CD. Get it? Play Music ? They play music. They tour, too.

I'm in the middle of Peak Producers and absolutely love the training. This app and Referralmaker in general isn't flexible enough. Tasks and appointments don't sync with other programs. Names of clients are not attached to the tasks you create so you don't know "who" you're supposed to call to set up a coffee with. Wish it were better as I want to use Buffini training after the class.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Long-term Treasury prices rose on Tuesday, while short-term debt was little changed, as traders have the distraction of the 3-year note auction TMUBMUSD03Y, +0.00% while waiting for the outcome of the U.S. presidential election. The first of three auctions this week is expected to garner sufficient foreign demand undeterred by uncertainty about the U.S. election. "I do not think election dynamics will have much of an impact" on the auction, said Bill O'Donnell, a bond strategist at RBS Securities. Benchmark 10-year yields TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.00% which move inversely to prices, fell 2 basis points to 1.70%.

What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Smile is arguably the longest awaited album in modern pop history. It's been more than 37 years since the title first appeared on a label release schedule, intended as the January, 1967, follow-up to The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. But Smile never made its initial release date, and rabid fans ever since have taken to assembling their own compiled versions of what the album might have been.
In 2003 a rejuvenated Wilson, encouraged by performing Pet Sounds live, decided to revive Smile, at least in concert form. Fans from around the world gathered at London's Royal Festival Hall on February 20, 2004, for the momentous event, fearing it might be their only opportunity to hear the completed piece. The show was a triumph.
Buoyed by the experience, Wilson returned with his live band to Sunset Sound in Hollywood, where he'd originally cut portions of "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes And Villains," to create the definitive studio recording of Smile. This September, 2004, release is the stunning result of those efforts.

There is a plethora of information and recent studies supporting the positive impact of an active father figure. I will point out that "father figure" can be a dad, an uncle, a grandfather, a family friend or guardian who has a major influence on a child's life.
A major impact on developing boys and girls, arguably more than what you say is what you do and how you do it. It happens to every parent at some point, your kid does or says something exactly the way you do it. They are using mimicry or modeling to develop social cues and understand this complex world that they're in. Yes, they're watching you and taking notes, they look to us to see how we deal with things, how we express ourselves and how we show (or not show) our emotions.
I'm not saying that these activities are explicitly about modeling, but I want to frame this list with the idea of how your kids pay attention to you and your actions and maybe plant a seed about how dads can have fun with their kids, get to know them and potentially have a positive impact on their development.
1. Learn to Cook with them. If you have never cooked in the kitchen, you are the best candidate for this activity. You can use this as an opportunity to show your kids how to learn, how to take on challenges, how to take yourself lightly. And if you do know you way around the food processor, pick up a new recipe but keep it simple. Understand, in their eyes you are The Man with all the answers, showing that you don't know anything - is a good thing. I am willing to bet, you will see them bond with you quickly as you both try and figure things out. Just think of the fond memories they will have "that time Dad and I tried to make pancakes!" 2. Play Sports or Activity with them. Much like the cooking lesson scenario, try choosing something you have never done. Be playful about it and play on their terms. Most of their life is spent wading through lots of rules, rules at school, mom and dad's rules, etc. Guide them with love and affection and let them call the shots within the framework of the sport or activity, and listen to what they're saying. This is really an opportunity to shower them with your attention. Choose something age appropriate and something that does not necessarily give you a natural advantage and with young kids - the sillier the better! See who can hop the longest, this kind of thing. And lastly, whatever the sport is - suck at it! Let them win! Show them how to lose properly, not to take it too seriously and to have a sense of humor. 3. Learn a Hobby Together. Maybe you've always wanted to learn chess, or how to play the guitar, or maybe find time to plant that herb garden, there are a ton of things that you can do, but make sure you choose something that your child is enthusiastic about. Remember, it's not about spending money on the kid, it is about spending time. If you have multiple kids, I suggest choosing different hobbies for each kid. Again, this is their hobby, something that you can both plan on and look forward to doing. 4. Include Them in the Things You Love. Chances are if you are a jogger, your son or daughter may express some type of curiosity/interest in it at some point, if they're young enough - through them in a jogging stroller (don't have one, find a neighbor with one and take it for a test ride). Maybe you like to work on the house, car, motorcycle or even garden on the weekends. Make them your helper. I got my oldest son (he's 4 yrs.) a tool belt and toolbox filled with toy tools, he "helps" me on the weekend whenever I have a "project". He takes it very seriously, and I love him for it. 5. Take a Trip Together. This sounds like a big ticket item, but it doesn't have to be. When I was a kid, I used to go grocery shopping (I was in charge of the coupons) with my mother and afterward we would go someplace for dinner, good memories. Younger kids are easy in this department, taking them to a car wash can be a super adventure. It can also be as simple as including them in one of your weekly rituals - maybe it is that weekly trip to get those good bagels on Saturday morning (maybe the best part of the trip is letting them place the order when you finally get to the front of the line). One of my favorite things to do with the kids is stop at the grocery store and by a cheap loaf of bread and either go to the park and feed the ducks or go to the beach and feed the birds. No need to mention the look on their face when they go to their first ball game and stuff their face with hot dogs and ice cream bars.
Whatever you do, remember you are helping to build positive memories with them. Take a backwards approach, and think of how you would want to remember these moments ("dad would always let me eat the first hot bagel on the way home") and most importantly have fun with them.

Utah Jazz defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves, 106-84, snap 3-game losing skid (+video)
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
The Utah Jazz came into tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a three-game losing streak, but the streak is now over.
Utah's defense accentuated a 106-84 win inside EnergySolutions Arena. The Jazz had 12 blocked shots and seven steals. The Jazz also forced Minnesota into 2-for-17 shooting from behind the 3-point line, a miserable 12 percent. Things were better overall for the Timberwolves, but not by much. They shot 35 percent from the field overall.
Wednesday's game was over when an Alec Burks jumpshot capped off a 13-4 run with 4:22 remaining in the third quarter, giving the Jazz a 97-75 lead. Twenty-two points proved to be too much for the Timberwolves to overcome, and they never came within 10 points of the Jazz for the remainder of the game.
Six different Jazz players scored in double figures, led by Gordon Hayward with his game-high 17 points. Perhaps no Jazzman was more influential on the floor in this game than any other player. Kanter took 10 shots and made half of them, made 5-of-6 free throws, grabbed eight rebounds, and threw in an assist and a steal for good measure.
Kanter's steal was remarkable for a big man. He cut into Derrick Williams' passing lane and took the ball the distance for an easy dunk near the 8-minute mark of the second quarter.
Jamaal Tinsley also had a very strong game for the Jazz as the starting point guard. In nearly 24 minutes, Tinsley shot 75 percent and had six rebounds, three assists and 12 points for Utah. Backup guard Earl Watson didn't have Tinsley's shooting or rebounding stats, but did notch a game-high nine assists.
Surprisingly, Paul Millsap didn't register a single rebound in this game. He did, however, make 7 of his 8 shots and scored 14 points. He also notched three assists and three steals.
Wednesday's game saw the return of Andrei Kirilenko to the home of his former team. He was widely cheered during his pregame introduction. Kirilenko scored 12 points on seven shots, grabbed seven rebounds, dished two assists and blocked two shots in 30 minutes.
Despite the dominating win, the Jazz trailed 24-23 after the first quarter. This was the 12th game of the last 13 in which the Jazz trailed after the first quarter. Of those games, stretching back to Dec. 7, 2012, the Jazz are 6-7.

Latest is that it has been fixed. The problem was with the view mode. It may have been in another mode rather than Normal, although it didn't appear to be. At any rate when I clicked on Normal the menu options returned.

Travel Blogs from Auckland
Gisteren om 15 uur plaatselijke tijd aangekomen in Auckland. Op het vliegveld was het nogal hektisch. Er was een groot vliegtuig voor ons aangekomen en er stond een lange file voor ons aan de immigration. Pas daarna konden we onze bagage ophalen. De band stond stil want niemand kwam zijn bagage ophalen en de band lag vol. Dan werd de bagage nog …
The beauty of New Zealand
... to use the breaks effectively, since this is supposed to be the slow course, however both Vaughan and I were really surprised at how fast this one was!
Not to be deterred (especially when kids were already on the intermediate course) Vaughan and I forced our way down the intermediate course, with Vaughan flying past me on the first turn. This proved to be the theme of the day where Vaughan would patiently wait for me at the bottom of the course before ...
Exploring and goodbye NZ
Today was my alone day to do whatever it wanted. I had a lie in and then leisurely got ready. Around 11 I decided to visit the Sky tower and used my student discount to get a cheap ticket to go up it. First stop was floor 51 - 164 metres up and then floor 61 - 220 metres up. My ears popped going up in the lift! The views were amazing and I was also fortunate enough to see the sky walkers - people who walk around an outside deck and also a bungy jumper. They also had the clear flooring ...
Kiwi Experience
... stopping off at a town on the way called Paeroa where the 'famous' New Zealand drink L&P comes from. Got to Waitomo and we signed up for the 5 hour abyss cave tour. Started off with a 35m abseil down into the cave, pretty tight space and pitch black it was very exciting! A couple of zip lines in the caves as well and we then got our first glimpse of the famous glow worms in the caves which was very magical to see. The tour then included some tubing underground - ...

Question about subfloor under bathroom
My house was built in 1960. I have 2 1/4 oak wood floors.
The subfloor is planks. I have a sheet of linolium for the bathroom floor and it is the same height as the oak floors.
The oak boards are 3/4 inch thick on top of the plank subfloor. I was wondering what was used to get the linolium to the same height as the oak floors. Since plywood was not around then, did they just lay extra pine boards on top of the original subfloor to make the bathroom the same height of the other rooms in the house?
Actually, plywood was used in PT boat construction during WWll.
It was used in building construction til the raw materials necessary were depleted and chipboard was developed was a substitute---but was not widely used until after the 50's.
The builder of your house may well have used boards(technically planks are wider than the 4"-6" boards) since that was the method that was used for many years before WWll.
Machines called planers or surfacers have been used for decades to adjust the thickness of lumber. I have one in my shop that can take an 8" by 13" beam and make it 1/2" by 13" is enough passes were made. In thousands of an inch and up increments.
So, by figuring what thickness was necessary for the boards, it was relatively easy to have a saw mill or wood processor machine the correct thickness.
Today, there are several different thicknesses of plywood, OSB(Oriented Strand Board),or underlayment available at lumberyards/home improvement stores. 1/8". 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 5/16", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" are all easily found. Thicker ply/OSB is available by special order.
Using ply/OSB is much less expensive, much less labor intensive, and the wood does not move like solid wood boards. So, those are actually much better.
A method for the production of plywood was patented in 1797, but plywood has been found in ancient Egypt (even 200 years ago patent examiners missed prior art). The now-standard 4x8 sheet was introduced in the 1920's, but I frequently see plywood used in organs I restore dating from the late 1800's.
There are lots of ways to build up floor height, you need to look and see how yours was done. 3/4" plywood is a good bet.
My 1940 vintage kitchen had linoleum that appeared to match the height of the dining room hardwood floor next to it. When we pulled up the linoleum to replace it we found pine tongue and groove flooring that was the same width and thickness as the hardwood.

That wasn't a fair statement at all.
There is someone that I have a lot of respect for. That man truly honors his career and his pledge to take care of the public, not like most doctors and hospitals, who refuse to treat you unless you are willing to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars.

A resource created generations ago to help insurance companies assess risks has found a new purpose in genealogy.
Insurers of the late-19th and early-20th centuries ordered special maps showing individual buildings and the changing character of neighborhoods to help them determine the level of fire and other kinds of hazard risk before writing policies. For today's genealogists, they are in the words of one expert "a snapshot of what the community looked like over time."
Hank Loftus recently spoke about the old maps to an audience at the Genealogical Research Society of Northeast Pennsylvania in Peckville.
"Many times you don't have photographs," he said of our ancestors' towns. "You can get a lot of clues about your family. (The maps) will put them in the context of the larger community. They're a great resource."
The maps, he said, were often called Sanborn maps, after the company that made them. They described the construction materials of individual buildings in a community and plotted locations of fire stations, hydrants, industrial buildings and oil refineries. That was all important information to someone about to issue a policy in the days of slower transportation, rapid urban growth and primitive (if any) building codes.
Over a century, Sanborn made about 1.2 million maps covering some 12,000 towns, with insurance companies subscribing to them. "I came across Sanborn maps four or five years ago, and they are treasures," said Loftus, an avid genealogist.
Loftus lives at White Mills and is the curator and project coordinator for the Dorflinger-Suydam Wildlife Sanctuary there.
How do you get your hands on a Sanborn map today? Because they were copyrighted when produced, the Library of Congress acquired many of them and now has "probably as complete a collection as Sanborn's own collection," he said.
Pro Quest (www.proquest.com) has put a lot of them online, and some libraries have subscriptions. Pre-1923 maps, which are no longer under copyright, may be downloaded, Loftus said.
Some big research universities, such as Penn State (www.libraries.psu.edu), have Sanborn maps for their states, accessible through their websites. Also, go to www.oldhouseonline.com for a list of some sources. While I don't often mention Wikipedia, their Sanborn map site has a clickable list of sources. Beyond that, there's no telling where scattered local maps might turn up in libraries or historical societies.
Sanborn (www.sanborn.com) is still in business as a major provider of mapping products.
Shutdown News: Because of the federal government shutdown, some resources genealogists have depended upon are entirely or partially unavailable. The National Archives website (www.archives.gov), for instance, explains what it can and cannot provide. The U.S. Census Bureau site (www.census.gov) tells visitors that no services are available. Visitors to some other federal websites are told that the website itself is not operating and will not resume until the shutdown ends. What else is unavailable? There are many federal government websites. You'll just have to try them and find out.
News Notes: Don't forget the October meeting of the Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society on the 22nd at 7 p.m. It's in Room 104 of the McGowan Building, King's College, North River and West Union streets. It's free and open to the public. John and Bert Stevenson will discuss their book "Our Back Mountain Families." You can help out the society by buying a book because the Stevensons will donate the proceeds from the first 20 book sales to the society. The group also will elect officers to serve for the next two years.

I love New York in June...but in March...brr!!!Posted Mar 27, 2015
Pros: the location
Cons: a coffee maker in the room
Location: Central Park, the mall on Columbus Circle, conveniently located to the subway, very nice staff and extremely accommodating, within walking distance
The hotel was fantastic and in the best location ever right on 58th and Columbus Circle - close to Central Park, convenient to the subway, plenty of cabs in the vicinity and within walking distance of Bergdorf's! I was in a small suite which was perfect - very modern and comfortable. Two flat screen TV's and able to have company because the sitting area was large enough - love what they did in the bathrooms stark white. I wish the rooms did offer a coffee maker as I did have to run down the street to Starbucks and it was 32 degrees.

Do not stay here if you want some nice quite sleepPosted Mar 24, 2015
I have stayed here before and it was never like this. At 3am there was a drunk girl running around on the 6th floor yelling and screaming that someone in her room had stollen her wallet, it took security over 30 minutes to handle the situation. If that was not bad enough, due to the cold weather we turned on the heater and it more noise then the titanic. The next morning I asked them kindly to attend to the heater and they had all day to fix it but when we came back into the room the same problem occurred. And my request to talk to the manager fell on deaf ears. I usually never comment on anything, but i was really upset and disappointed that such a nice hotel with such facilities would yield such poor customer service to a valid complaint. NYC is a great city and there are tons of other hotels, if you can not provide a good experience for your guests, I will make sure to take my business some where else next time.

Un joli hôtel en dégradation depuis 4ansPosted Mar 23, 2015
Hotel fréquenté régulièrement depuis 4 ans et en régression permanente. Devenu un dortoir pour groupe avec en fin de semaine des soirées night club dans le hall de l'hôtel gênant l'accès aux ascenseurs et montant et descendant dans les étages. Dans les chambres les accessoires, lampes de bureau ect défaillants ne sont plus renouvellés. Connexion wifi payante ou impossible . Quel dommage!!! C'était si bien

Like a train stationPosted Mar 16, 2015
Pros: nothing
Location: Location ok - at least at the Time Warner Tower we found a great restaurant for having many breakfast selections
The rooms are tiny - even the bathroom door is smaller ! We couldn't adjust the air condition/heater - and it was blowing 24/7. There are no double windows - so the street noise was terrible. We had the feeling the window was open. The room looked bigger online. No decent storage - only open shelves , hangers were dusty. The lobby area felt like a train station - and the "restaurant" annoying: you have to order at a window - very limited options . The library was the only decent place!

The Northern California Study Abroad Consortium (of which the Los Rios Community College District is a member) teaches our own academic program abroad, using our own faculty, curriculum and style. The AIFS Partnership works closely with us to coordinate support arrangements leaving students and faculty free to enjoy their overseas experience without concern for the complex, time-consuming practical arrangements that a successful study abroad program demands.
Semester Term
Northern California Study Abroad Consortium (NCSAC)
AIFS Partnership Programs are a division of the American Institute For Foreign Study (AIFS). AIFS was founded in 1964. Since then, over 1.5 million students have participated in our educational and cultural exchange programs. Over 6,000 American college students study abroad each year with the AIFS College Division—approximately 2,000 of these are on customized, faculty-led programs organized through the Partnership Programs Division.
