Henrico trails state averages in SATs, ACTs
Henrico County high school seniors scored above the federal average but below the state average during the 2011-12 school year on the two most prominent college admissions tests, according to results released recently.
Henrico students averaged a composite score of 21.9 out of a possible 36 on the four-part ACT (compared with a state average score of 22.4) and 1501 on the SAT (compared with the state average of 1517).
While expressing their disappointment with the results, school officials offered School Board members several explanations and detailed efforts to improve both sets of scores this year and in the future.
"Certainly we are not happy with the performances, and we know that we have some work to do," Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Eric Jones told the board during its Oct. 11 work session.
Jones suggested, though, that since the scores reflect only the final tests given during the school year – and not earlier ones – they may not present a completely accurate representation of student knowledge. Some students, for example, may only be focused on one particular section of a test, if they have already attained high scores in other sections during earlier testing.
But, he conceded, the same would hold true for all students whose scores are reflected in the latest numbers statewide and nationally.
To remedy the disappointing scores, high school principals have initiated a variety of efforts.
Godwin Principal Elizabeth Armbruster told the board that her school has implemented lunch study "boot camps" for students taking the SAT, while math teachers have incorporated SAT-style questions into lessons during the two weeks prior to the test. The school also has marketed SAT resources and events to students and parents more strongly than in the past, she said.
At Varina High, teachers have provided more timed writing exercises for students, Principal Tracie Omohundro said. (Jones had suggested that the lack of such exercises district-wide could have contributed to lower scores on the writing portion of the SAT, which is timed.)
Varina also is encouraging juniors to take the SAT to become familiar with the test, Omohundro said, and the school became a testing site, which she said may have helped relieve stress for students who previously had to take the test at unfamiliar schools.
At Hermitage, students have been exposed to an SAT word and question of the day on the school's TV network, Principal Omega Wilson said. Teachers also offer bonus credit in some classes for students who included that information in some way during class participation.
Several Hermitage teachers also have provided before- and after-school tutoring in English and math, and the school offered a Princeton Review course for students, Wilson said.
Jones suggested that the district needed to focus more on increasing daily academic rigor to develop students who could think analytically, understand broad concepts and solve problems – not just learn how to take standardized tests.
"In many ways, I think we've fallen victim to an SOL culture of doing well on a minimal-level competency multiple-choice test," Jones said.
Though SAT math scores did improve from the previous year, the school system is forming a math advisory board, composed of parents, teachers, administrators, university officials and others, to help review current lessons and recommend possible changes, he said.
School administrators are encouraging students to take the ACT, Jones said, which officials believe is a better evaluation of student knowledge than the SAT. The ACT is now accepted by all Virginia colleges, he said.
Jones suggested that restoring funding to allow all ninth- and tenth-graders to take the PSAT could help boost SAT and ACT scores (by providing students with exposure in advance) and that adding funding for prep courses for students – or training sessions for teachers – also would be helpful.
School Board members asked Jones to return next month with a "wish-list" of several items that they might consider adding to the 2012-13 fiscal year budget.
Local couple wins wedding at Lewis Ginter
Richmonders Jim Morgan and Dan Stackhouse were married at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Lakeside Mar. 7 month after winning the Say I Do! With OutRVA wedding contest in February. The contest was open to LGBT couples in recognition of Virginia's marriage equality law, which took effect last fall. The wedding included a package valued at $25,000.
Morgan and Stackhouse, who became engaged last fall on the day marriage equality became the law in Virginia, have been together for 16 years. They were selected from among 40 couples who registered for the contest. The winners were announced at the Say I Do! Dessert Soiree at the Renaissance in Richmond in February. > Read more.

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

"i enjoyed"
it is a toss up. somethings were noticed while listening that i did not notice while reading and vice versa. they were both very good
the whole story was a little different from many of the other paranormal reads/listens. It kept my interest by moving.
the voice did not sound flat as if she was just reading out loud.
no particular moment that i remember, but it has been a while since i listened to the book.
as this book was the last in what you would call a series, i was disappointed that the brothers and sister from prior books were not more evident in the retake of the castle, what their actions were. But like i said the book was well done and as a stand alone book, you would not think that much about the other siblings. In the end, the author did let you know what the other siblings ended up doing with their lives after the castle was retaken which was good. If you like paranormal and are getting a little jaded on the normal were animals, vampires, shape shifters, etc., this will be a refreshing change with suspense filled moments but a sweetness portrayed in the characters too. Try it, i liked it.
"book OK, performance awful"
i liked least all the details of ingredients going into what she was making. Get on with the story. Hard to identify what i liked best, Maybe the lack of arrogance on the part of the characters.
I liked the prince best. He was in a lousy position as well as Cindy but he helped with the work, he tried to cope with the situation and he was not an arrogant male.
The voice pitch was too high, tried to portray too much emotion which came out like an excited child trying to tell you a story. You just wanted her to calm down some.
Maybe. Not a fair question as i do not go to many movies.
The story was easy to follow but a suggestion would be for the author to pick names for her characters that are very different sounding. Sometimes and it may have been due to the performer i would question who was whom.
"ok if you like a spoiled little bitch"
Not my favorite type of character. I listen for escape from the disagreeable people in the present world and entertainment. I did not finish the book due to the author's choice of personality given to the main female character, which was a spoiled brat taking her disappointment out on the male character. I tire of such persons and wish to slap them upside their head. The story line is a little different and interesting and i would have finished the book if the main female had not been so dedicated to being a brat.
i would try one more but no more if the character creation is the same.
I believe she did well for what little i listen to.
I am just tired of books that feature women in the role of creating misery for someone else. Either she is taking out her disappointment in not achieving her expectations or she is lying to another woman thus making her life miserable, in other words a "bitch". No insult to the female gender of the canine family is intended; nor do i wish to offend anyone by the term used.
yes i would recommend this book to anyone who loves a romance with something more. The book is just amazing.
one moment was when Ivy was able to see how the em-paths linked to others and of course the relationship between Vasic and Ivy running through the whole book.
She does an outstanding job by not intruding on the book. Meaning her performance is so flawless you are focused on the story not her presentation.
So many moments in the book that even now i am not totally disengaged from the story.
This is the last book in this series and i have read and listened to them all. Each book will stand on it own but they have more meaning if all have been read/listened. I just hope Ms .Singh continues with this world she has created. Her talent is outstanding.
"another great book from Feehan"
On top with all the other wonderful books I have enjoyed. But no matter how wonderful the book or story if the performance is not good it takes away from the story. That was not an issue. The performance was outstanding and thus enhanced the listening experience.
Josef understanding he was loved and valued. Another wonderful moment was Skyler accepting her bio father,Razvan. There were many wonderful scenes in the book as it moves right along so it is hard to choose.
Skyler rescue of Dimitri with the help of Josef and Paul. Another was the gift from Ivory and Razvan to Skyler and Dimitri.
This book is a stand alone but it will be more rewarding if you read Dark Lycan first. This series of 3, I feel, should have been one big book. I am waiting with anticipation for the last book, Dark Blood, to be released later this year.
"more like slap stick comedy"
it was funny but the main female character was almost too much for me. She seems to be lacking common sense and i have a low tolerance for people with this problem
it ended as it should
I had not listen to Alison Larkin before. She was very good. If i was hesitating on a book due to the story but if she was the performer, i would probably buy it.
When the Nob takes a wife
"great story, lots of humor"
the story is good, full of humor and some of how we relate to each other as human beings. Set in the past middle ages in the Scottish Highlands. It also has some mystery and suspense to it. A good read or listen. I read the book and also purchased it on audio as I liked it so well.
a little more life in her reading would have improved things considerably. interactions between characters was good but in between could have had more life to it.
I laughed a lot throughout the book.
different and interesting
this is the best of the 3 in this series. It is not like many of the other books, so it would not be fair to compare. I would say to anyone if you like Irish and the legends, you will enjoy this series.
no, i could walk away from it and pick it up again. the book is interesting but not riveting. It pulls your emotions. there are actually 2 stories within the books. the background story does not end with his book and it leaves you wanting to know how it also ends.
I have read this series. I rate this book the best because i was the least frustrated the characters. There are people with certain character traits that annoy you in real life and i find they annoy me in books also. Darcy the sister highly annoyed me.
"I like"
It was different from many of the books I have.
There are quite a few moments in the book that come to mind. The love story running through the book was good, even if I had moments of wanting to shake a few characters but they are guys and I am female, so what can I say. The Fae prince is an interesting character along with the gremlin. There is suspense, love, cute moments, humor in the book. It is much more than a love story.
how to pronounce some words. To be fair I listened to the book last month. Nothing negative sticks in my mind, so performance must have been ok.
Unknown Valor.
I plan on getting the whole series. It has caught my interest. Now I need to know what happens next.
it caught my attention, it had me holding my breath on what would happen next. The love story was good.
Unsure what I liked best. It is a good story and if you like this type of book, I would recommend getting it. The author has done a very good job with the book.
unsure if I have listen to Antony before or not, but this was good
yes. I found myself doing other things just so I could finish the book. I also caught myself so wrapped in the story I was doing nothing at times
cannot wait to get the next book.
A great listen
the whole book was memorable. I really enjoyed it
Angus and Lachlan were favorites. Lachlan, i would like to watch his character on the screen. Both of them, you will not forget.
Not laugh or cry but interesting that i did not want to quit listening.
i like books that if set in Scotland, the narrator uses the appropriate accent as was done in this book. Really makes you feel you are there.

GF man advocates for cancer screening
GRAND FORKS — Terry Harmon took some good-natured ribbing when he turned 50 in January 2013.
"Now that you're in this '50s club' you know what you've gotta do," his older brother Tom told him, Harmon said.
But Harmon was feeling "strong and healthy," and not inclined to heed Tom's advice to get screened for colorectal cancer.

Straight legged, relaxed fit. True to size.
What if my inseam is 30″ or 34″?
We're a small business, so we offer only a couple of lengths right now. Lucky for you, these pants look great with the cuffs turned up — perfect if you're in between sizes.
How do I care for them?
Machine wash cold, tumble dry low. (They're pre-washed.)
Vital Statistics
- Slightly stretchier fabric and a more generous cut in the thighs for riding comfort.
- Reflective cuffs and rear pullout.
- Reinforced crotch for durability.
- Varsity signature "Pedal Less OIl" patch in back.
Black Cotton-Twill Pants With Crude-Oil Liner
Bike Shop Collaboration #1
Bike pants make for silly work pants, and vice versa. So we created handsome hybrid Bike to Work Pants to perform equally well on the road or in the office.
Recently, we began working on a super-limited-edition series inspired by independent, community-minded bike shops around the country. First up: Minneapolis-based Varsity Bike & Transit .
The folks at Varsity aren't such huge fans of the internal combustion engine. So their signature Bike to Work Pants feature a rear patch with the bike shop's "Pedal Less Oil" slogan, complete with images of gooey, dripping crude. And just in case that message was too subtle, they asked us to add a black, oil-slick liner.
Like all our Bike to Work Pants, Varsity Pants sport a secret inner brilliance: cuffs that roll up to reveal super-bright reflective material, plus an equally blinding pullout that deploys from a rear pocket. The result: radical reflectivity that lets motorists and pedestrians know you mean business.
We also added cyclist-friendly features like a reinforced crotch, raised back cut for crack coverage, and a slight stretchiness in the fabric. The result: A two-wheeled commute that's safe and comfy, not to mention pretty darn stylish. (Roll over the Design Specs button for more product details.)
We made just a very small batch of these bike-shop Bike to Work Pants, so order your pair today.

I'm very much a firm believer that life keeps throwing you lessons and signs until you heed them. I've been in variations of the same situation in the past and have learned to start questioning whether there's something different that I need to be doing. This isn't so that I can change other people's behaviour (waste of frickin time) but more so that I don't create unnecessary pain for myself by ignoring my own habits of thinking and behaviour, and that I ultimately continue to grow. Things pop into my head. In fact messages pop into my head, like when I had tinnitus and vertigo a couple of years back and from time to time the thought, Do I need to listen to myself and destress? would zoom by my mind like Roadrunner. Meep meep. Turned out that I did .
Since then, the occasional bouts of tinnitus have become my little nagging friend. Tinnitus has taught me to practice being mindful. If it's ticking, focusing or paying attention to what appears to be a passing thought – but is actually important and needs my attention – seems to quieten it. When I get loud rushing tinnitus like crackling, water rushing through my ear and vague dizziness, it's a sign that I'm overtired, overdoing it and need to halt. This is when I should see Whoopi Goldberg's character in Ghost, Oda Mae Brown, saying, Natalie, you in danger girl.
I've known for months that I need to take a break. I do take breaks and wind down somewhat when the kids are on holiday but I've basically been writing new 'material' for BR most weeks even through a maternity leave and a wedding – I can't believe it's already over a year since we got married!
Anyway, the message of needing a break has got louder and louder and life has thrown me various signs and then in the past few days, it's just loaded them up one after another. I need to step back and know my own boundaries.
It's always important to remember that we can always gripe about how people 'should' know better than to do such and such but we do often have to examine where we're busting our own boundaries.
Prime example: if I don't want to be stressing about something at dinner time or just before the kids bedtime, it would probably help if I wasn't looking at email at that time in the first place…
Yesterday morning I experienced a Oh HELLLLLL No moment before it was even 7am and then I got a couple of texts that changed the plan for the morning and this was all before 7.30am. My life is so drama free in comparison to the me of old pre BR days that when I find myself experiencing similar types of OH HELL NO within a matter of hours and all about similar things, I have to cut the BS.
I am not superwoman. For any of you out there that are trying to be all things to all people or stretching yourself to the limit, don't BS yourself into all sorts of stress. I'll load myself up periodically but I know when I'm going too far and when I need to come back to base. That time is now.
I'm not superwoman and you're not superhuman. People will ask or expect things of you, but you know what? You're under no obligation. They can ask, but you're free to say yay, nay, or 'Let me come back to you on that one'.
The sky will not fall down. I promise you. I guarantee it.
Sometimes we get too caught up in worrying too much about what somebody else might think, feel or do if we don't do or say something. Our imaginations exceed what will actually happen 95% of the time. We have to be careful with our self-esteem fish tank where we may overfeed the fear, insecurity and worry fish, who are greedy and don't know when they're full and forget to feed our self-esteem.
So in this last summer of having a preschooler (Nia graduated from preschool today), I'm going to take a break until September when BR will be turning 8 years old. What does that mean? BR will still be updated but I will be primarily putting out some of your favourite posts that are buried in the archives as well as the annual birthday post – I can't believe I'm 36 next week! Facebook (and Twitter) will still be updated with bursts of inspiration.
I say I'm going to be on a break but with both girls on holiday and oodles of things to do, it's going to be a busy but relaxing break.
But ultimately, I'm going to give me permission to chill and know myself before I wreck myself.
Have a great weekend and 'see' you over the summer!
Big squeezy hugs, Nat xxx
PS If you'd like to suggest an old favourite / topic from the archives that you'd like to see appear over the summer, mention it in the comments.
PPS Before anyone asks, yes of course comments will still be being approved so don't panic! And the shop is still open so queries and orders will go out as normal.

The Oculus Rift DK2: In-Depth Review (and Comparison To DK1) 54
from the here-put-this-on-your-face dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Enough talk. Let's shit or get off the pot here.
When they get sufficient consumer feedback from this beta version to identify what still needs to change to appeal to the average consumer, go through several internal iterations and they implement those changes in prototypes, and ramp up mass-production, determine sales methods, and actually ship the things?
What? It's not as simple as taking a shit? Oh my.
Not trying to troll or anything
Should I simply forget that Occulus has been assimilated by the privacy-nightmare-that-is-facebook? You know
Or do I simply cheer about the technological achievement and hope for a competitor to set up camp soon?
I don't want a Zuckerberg product in my household unless the Slashdot community approves of it!

There are lots of charting and data feed products on the market. Call us at 770-382-9656 during market hours to find out if what you have will work. If you're new to trading, call us at 770-382-9656 during market hours to discuss our current recommendation.
If you have any questions about data feeds and charting software, please call me at 770-382-9656 (Eastern Time Zone) or email us
I'll do all of the setup for you so all you have to do is use the software, which is easy. This will save you lots of time and frustration.
For daytrading you'll need fast Internet access such as Fiber, Cable or DSL. Ask around and find out which one is more reliable in your area. Our main concern is reliability.
If you can't get a good high-speed Internet connection in your area, such as Fiber, Cable or DSL, try cellular internet. It has higher latency than Fiber, Cable or DSL, but lower latency than satellite. So if you can't get Fiber, Cable or DSL, try cellular internet first. Compare several because the gotcha is the bandwidth cost. Also, if I were going this route, I'd make sure it had an ethernet jack, as ethernet is preferable to wifi. Make sure they have a return policy just in case it doesn't work at your location.
Another alternative if you can't get Fiber, Cable, DSL, or cellular internet, is satellite internet. You can now live where there's no Cable or where you're too far from the phone company's central office to get DSL, or where there's no nearby cell towers, and still get high speed internet access. Three vendors are: www.StarBand.com, www.WildBlue.com, and www.HughesNet.com. Of the three, my current preference is HughesNet.
As you can see there are several choices for internet access. If you have any questions about internet access please pick up the phone and call Paul at 770-382-9656 (Eastern Time Zone) or email us.
If you take your initial 5 days of training at your instructor's home, it's important to bring your trading computer, as we'll be setting it up for you, training you on the software, and ensuring it is functioning properly for trading. You will actually learn on your computer, so there are comfortable with it when you return home. Whether you will be trading with a desktop, laptop, or both, bring them and we will set up all your trading computers during your training week. If you bring a desktop, all we need is the box. No monitor, no keyboard, no mouse, no cords...we have all that.
If you're training online or with the bite-size videos, we'll still configure your computer via gotomeeting.com.
To make sure your computer meets the minimum specifications or if you're interested in getting a new computer for trading, see our specification pages: www.daytradingcourse.com/computer and www.daytradingcourse.com/laptop.
When looking at monitors, see Monitor specs and our list of Common Display Resolutions to help you decipher the codes.
Again, we'll install the charting software you bought and set up your data-feed for you on your computer. Many people never get their computer set up correctly, but yours will be set up perfectly. If you want a new computer and get it from my local dealer, they will bring it to me and it will be here waiting for your arrival.
If you have any questions about your trading computer, please pick up the phone and call me at 770-382-9656 (Eastern Time Zone) or email us.

I asked my UM student....where do you want to eat today. I was shocked to hear I'm craving the Bistro at Nordstrom. There is something for everyone here, and it doesn't hurt that it's in a beautiful mall, in a great store. I've been there three times now, and each time it was relish, consistent quality and service. I'd recommend going at slightly off lunch hour times, and you stand in line to place your order before being seated and served by wait staff, but the line moves quickly.
Bread pudding is great. Rosemary fries, too.

And my favorite flavor and aroma hops are Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, amarillo, mosaic and Nelson Sauvin.
I'll usually use a fruity citrusy combo of like nelson, amarillo and or citra and balance them out a bit with simcoe.
I just dryhopped a beer with nelson, citra, amarillo, and apollo. Smells awesome

Niseko is a town located in Abuta District, Shiribeshi, Hokkaidō, Japan. Although in Japanese, Niseko principally refers to a municipal area, overseas, the name has come to refer to a wider area of ski resorts encompassing Hokkaido's Mount Yōtei, often referred to as the "Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido", and Annupuri ranges. The name Niseko derives from the Ainu language and means "a cliff jutting over a riverbank deep in the mountains". Its main industries are agriculture and tourism.
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.

This hotel was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I am a frequent traveller. For it being called a Hilton I would certainly expect a higher level of standards. The only employee I ever saw was rude and the rooms were uncalled for for such a high price. I definitely expected more for what I paid and for the name of the Hotel. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone ever going into the Boca Raton area. ...

Foreign relations of Jamaica
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Jamaica has diplomatic relations with most nations and is a member of the United Nations and the Organization of American States. Jamaica chairs the Working Group on smaller Economies.
Jamaica is an active member of the Commonwealth of Nations and the Non-Aligned Movement (G-77). Jamaica is a beneficiary of the Lome Conventions, through which the European Union (EU) grants trade preferences to selected states in Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific, and has played a leading role in the negotiations of the successor agreement in Fiji in 2000.
Disputes - international: none
Illicit drugs: Transshipment point for cocaine from Central and South America to North America and Europe; illicit cultivation of cannabis; government has an active manual cannabis eradication program
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade is the government ministry responsible for handling the Jamaica's external relations and foreign trade.
Historically, Jamaica has had close ties with the UK. Trade, financial, and cultural relations with the United States are now predominant. Jamaica is linked with the other countries of the English-speaking Caribbean through the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), and more broadly through the Association of Caribbean States (ACS). Jamaica has served two 2-year terms on the United Nations Security Council, in 1979-80 and in 2000-2001.
In the follow-on meetings to the December 1994 Summit of the Americas, Jamaica—together with Uruguay--was given the responsibility of coordinating discussions on invigorating society.
Bilateral Relations[edit]
Jamaica and Brazil established diplomatic relations on October 14, 1962. Both countries are full members of the Group of 15.
Both countries established diplomatic relations in 1962. Since March 4, 1963, Canada has a high commission in Kingston. Jamaica has a high commission in Ottawa. On April 15, 2009, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper became the first Canadian head of government to address the Jamaican parliament. There are 231,000 people of Jamaican descent living in Canada. Jamaican-Canadians celebrate their island heritage through festivals held in major cities across Canada, the most recognized of which is Caribana. Caribana is held in Toronto, Ontario every year and attracts over one million visitors to the region, many of whom fly all the way from Jamaica.

The UK's main exports to Jamaica are chemicals, manufactured goods, machinery, pharmaceuticals and food products. There are opportunities for UK companies in the following sectors: Education, Information Communications Technology, Agriculture, Health, Water and Renewable Energy.
United States[edit]
The United States maintains close and productive relations with the Government of Jamaica. Former Prime Minister Patterson visited Washington, DC, several times after assuming office in 1992. In April 2001, Prime Minister Patterson and other Caribbean leaders met with President George W. Bush during the Summit of the Americas in Quebec, Canada, at which a "Third Border Initiative" was launched to deepen U.S. cooperation with Caribbean nations and enhance economic development and integration of the Caribbean nations. Then-Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller attended the "Conference on the Caribbean--A 20/20 Vision" in Washington in June 2007.
The United States is Jamaica's most important trading partner: bilateral trade in goods in 2005 was over $2 billion. Jamaica is a popular destination for American tourists; more than 1.2 million Americans visited in 2006. In addition, some 10,000 American citizens, including many dual-nationals born on the island, permanently reside in Jamaica.

C-narioâs Digital Signage Platform Selected to Display Jackpot Meter at Casino da Madeira and Nearby Hotels
Tel Aviv, Israel, October 6, 2008 â C-nario, a global provider of digital signage software solutions, today announced that the companyâs digital signage platform has been implemented in Casino da Madeira, located in Funchal, capital of the Madeira Islands of Portugal. C-narioâs solution enables displaying the jackpot amount throughout the casino gaming floor and in nearby hotels.
Casino da Madeira is a well-known casino with more than 200 slot machines. The project was conducted by Sign4U, a company specializing in building and installing signs for casinos, and by Sign4Uâs Portuguese partner, Trade Game, a provider of casino equipment.
C-narioâs platform displays the jackpot meter on five LCD screens inside the casino, in a unique graphical design with special effects, along with commercial messages and movie clips. When someone wins at a slot machine, preconfigured video, audio and text content (called âhit showâ?) is displayed, according to predefined rules.

Natta's Condo is incredible cozy with a stunning view over Toronto (this pic is not a fake, all real!!)! Unfortunately we didn't met Natta personally, but her very friendly boyfriend consigned us the keys and all needed information about the apartment. Natta left some great tips about the city, to do's as well as some great restaurants. Everything is easy reachable.
It was really lovely from her that we could leave our stuff in her apartment till we had to catch our flight.
Thanks Natta for the great host=)
Definitely to recommend @ your stay in Toronto!
It was a very nice place to stay if you want to visit Toronto, great location near to everywhere and the room is outstandingly cozy, plus Natta is such a nice person provided us a tremendous travelling experience
A lovely location. Easy walk to everything. Natta was (email hidden)ry friendly and she took care of all the details. The views are breathtaking !
Natta was a great host. The condo is exactly as it appears in the pictures and we loved the amenities in the building. Natta took the time to show us around and prepared everything (towels, directions, labels around the house). She was a pleasure to deal with.
We stayed 3 nights at Natta in August 2014. We were 4 adults and a toddler and the apartment was great: there was a double bed and enough space to fit a crib on the bedroom, and a comfortable futon on the living room. The views were spectacular and the neighborhood was well located and really quiet! She was a great host: prepared a welcome package with maps and handy info about the neighborhood, including her favorite spots (cafes, restaurants and such). I definitely recommend her place :)
Natta and her friend were totally pleasant and a pleasure to host. Polite and interested in everything in the area to see and do. I would hope all my guests were as nice as these two!
It was a very short stay but we had a nice and positive experience with Natalie and her boyfriend, what an interesting couple ! Have fun guys in your travel and take care !
Natalie was a very nice and polite guest.. we couldn't share a lot with her because she was having a bad cold...however.. she was still smiling and keeping the spirit up!!
we hope she will come back and next time dive with us and be in a better shape health wise..
Hosting her has been a pleasure. She behaves kindly, she has been really respectful. She is so quiet that it's hard to distinguish when she is at home from when she is not. She is a sunny nature. I highly recommend her.
Natalie was a pleasure to host. Very clean, quiet guests, they were really nice people. Enjoyed meeting them.
Natalie and her 3 friends stayed one night, left the suite in great shape. This was a last minute booking and they showed up when they said they would, reliable with their information.
Would host again if requested.
Natalie was a great guest who left the place spic and span. I would host her again for sure!
Natalie was a wonderful guest and even survived NY's monsoon season. Thanks for staying!
Natalie is a very friendly and tidy girl.
She let us know her schedule very in detail so that we could be very well noticed and prepared accordingly. We feel she like our friend and she could gave us idea and good suggestion honestly.
We definitely welcome her to come back.
Natalie was a great guest. She only stayed with us for one night and spent most of her time out exploring the city. We never even met Natalie! But she was clean and tidy and we had no problem communicating prior to her stay. We'd love to host her again, and maybe get a a chance to meet her!
Natalie is is a good friend and one of the most amazingly talented people I've ever met on this planet! We've been on a few day and overnight trips together and its always been a great pleasure. She is always a wonderful guest as well as a host and is most welcome at our house day or night! Highly recommended! :)
I could say that Natalia is one of my closest friends. She is one of the very gifted people in our world. She is passionate, sensitive individual. She is a spirit of kindness, humor and grace. I could entrust her my own soul, if it would come to the cause.

My idea of a small quaint cottage home~ A painter's vision!
I have been collecting photos I found on the web, for the purpose of re-aquainting myself with the smaller home, especially in cottage colors, which I tend to love! At the present time I am a renter. I have a cute (but way too small), 1 room cottage. It sits on 1 acre. I don't think I will ever do this again. The weeds, too much yard, not enough privacy, etc. I am also lacking the picket fence, which is something I would love to have. I am in CA. Does anyone know of any remaining small CA towns, still close enough to shopping areas, that perhaps, have small homes like these?
Here is a link that might be useful: Old style cottage homes in pretty colors!
Yes, I love the green house with the garden, as Alexr pointed out. That one is my favorite! While I wouldn't turn down a pink one, (but my interior decor is shabby chic, country cottage, blended in, rustic here and there), I would opt for a green house. I DO love yellow ones like your picture Teresa. I have fond memories of my one Aunt living twice in homes that were that style, and yellow!
Now where in CA do I find a home like that, is my next question?
What cute homes.
If you are serious about buying what worked for me was getting a real estate agent. I had wanted to buy for awhile but didn't know how to pull it together. I had a roommate move out on me with no notice. I was so mad at the situation I drove to the grocery store the second after I read the note. I picked up one of those free "Why Rent When You Can Buy" magazines and began calling. I hooked up with a great realtor who got me through the process. Before that, I would get packets from Fannie Mae and begin filling them out, until I would quit in frustration. A realtor pulls together all the paperwork, and the banking and insurance issues for you. That roommate was a blessing in disguise 8 years ago.
If you contacted a realtor with your pictures, they could set you on your path. If it ends up that your area doesn't have the type of housing you are looking for, they will refer you to a colleague. They are the experts in geography and housing. Find a realtor in a nationwide company, not a local small agent. Good Luck.
doxies: That's a good question that deserves an answer, but in California such a big State, so much depends on two things, what general area, and how much money are you willing to spend. In general, older out of the way communities are more likely to have resonablely priced small homes with quaint surroundings. But if you can't make a living in an out of the way area, it gets harder to find and expensive. A friend of mine bought a small home near Clearlake, as an example, but he had such a long commute to San Francisco, he rented a small apartment during the week.
Mrsmuggleton, that is definately one gorgeous cottage dream home.
Hi all,
I haven't had a chance to post my reply to
your posts. Alexr: I don't know what your
friend does for a living, but when you buy
in the rural, for instance, you should think
of changing careers. Many people in business,
for instance, are not willing to give up their
suits and ties to become a rancher or work
in the local county. Sometimes you have to change
careers. I have been an office manager and accountant
for many years. Rather than commute, I would
(and I am in the process), of changing careers to
something else. You only live once, and I for one do not
live for my job.
I have read in Business Week, where a fortune 500 business
man left his upscale corner office job, to own and operate
a ranch. Sometimes we have to change.
Ok, I have been searching and found some neat
small towns inland from the coast, here in CA, and 1/4 the
price of what they charge to live on the CA coast, now that
it has been ruined by politicians and celebrities living here.
A couple of the neighboring towns that intrigue me, are
not only 2 hours from where I am now, and significantly cheaper,
but rather rural. One thing concerns me and that is that
a major men's prison is in one of the cities. Not a city I would
choose, but with that sometimes comes the family members that move
to those areas to be closer to the prisoners. Not something I like,
but would have to really check everything out.
If you simply want to take a tour of a place with a lot (and I mean probably a few thousand dating from the 1880's to mid-century modern)-cute little cottages, then you must visit Eureka CA. I also recommend Arcata, about six miles north on 101. I live in this area, I don't intend to retire here, the cost of living is like San Francisco, there's few choices when it comes to a job, property is outrageeous; your basic tourist town. A lot of people recommend Ferndale, about 15 miles south of Eureka on 101, it is a small dairy community with a fraction of what you would see just driving around Eureka neighborhoods, it's also at sea-level on confluence of earthquake faults. I'm planning on retiring in the upper central valley of CA myself, although meanwhile I plan to sell my current cottage and build a small alternative home somewhere locally for the rest of my job career.

where are these stains coming from?
drcindyFebruary 22, 2009
I have a king sized down comforter, 12 years old, that has always been kept in a comforter cover. So why are there nasty yellow stains all over it on each side? It just grosses me out every time I clean the comforter cover. I'm pretty sure I can wash the stains out in a commercial front loading washer but just haven't found the time to do it. Has anyone else had similar experiences? TIA!

my dream cottage
take a look a the cob house..
Here is a link that might be useful: cob cottage
Thanks for that link - I'd love a house like that and have enjoyed looking at all the pics as I've followed the various links. The book 'A Pattern Language' by Alexander et al is one of my favorites. I bought it about 25 years ago when we were planning our current house. Unfortunately we were intimidated into building a conventional house at that time due to building codes, lack of personal time, and lack of unconventional tradespersons in the area.
I've always liked those bed alcoves which are seen throughout Scandinavian countries (altho different style from shown on the FB page). My Grands would love them!
luckygal, Isn't it just fun to have such a house.. a bit like a hobbit house?
stick to that natural home website.. there's so many examples there to see.

When they say dark, they mean DARK. This is basically pure cocoa pressed in a chocolate bar shape. It tastes nice if it is together with something, and most kids will leave it for their parents. Fairly healthy also. I only wish it was organic.
Good quality chocolate

Easiest way to make your own sugarfree chocolate. Trying to get the best balanse between stevia and other sweetners
Posted by opheart on Jul 25, 2012
It's very oily, not dry, a little bitter. But after a small bit it leaves a wonderful mouthfeel - deeply sweety and creamy. An amazing product. Wanna buy it again and again.
Great product
Posted by Reviewer1304601 on Aug 16, 2012
Great for making our own chocolates using coconut sugar in place of normal sugar, to avoid getting migraines etc that come from sugar
good quality
Posted by Diana87 on Jun 04, 2012
too bitter, not for everyone, good for baking only. amara foarte :) serios, s-o maninci asa simplu nu poti, ciocolata e mai mult pentru gatit. poti minca cite o farmitura sau cind iti vine cheful de ceva amar.

RECIPE: Sweetend, unsweetend coconut question..
My cookie recipe calls for unsweetend coconut. Three stores in my area didn't have, so hubby gotten sweetend coconut. Can I use this? What if any difference would it make in the cookies. Help!!!!! Thanks.
I agree with Lori it probably won't make much of a difference. According to the site below they suggest soaking the sweetened coconut in 1/2 water & 1/2 milk in the refrigerator to remove the sugar.
Here is a link that might be useful: Scroll down to Substitutions
I am just making coconut butter cookies, my recipe calls for 3/4 C sugar. If I have to reduce sugar what would be your or anyone else's suggestions in the reduction? Or would I not need to reduce the sugar amount? The recipe also says (toasted coconut) but I was thinking if I toast the coconut first and then bake the cookies, the coconut would just get darker. What are your thoughts on that? It's been awhile since I made these and can't remember if I toasted the coconut first or not. I would prefer to cut out that step since I have so much to do with other things.
Thanks for the link you provided, I have it bookmarked. If it really matters that the coconut be unsweetend then I will do as your link suggested.
Thanks to both of you, anxiously awaiting your replies.
I have bought unsweetened coconut at health food stores - don't think regular stores carry it, probably for good reason. Unsweetened coconut tastes terrible, in my opinion. It needs all the sugar, butter and flavorings of a recipe to make it palatable. After trying unsweetened, you will notice that 'regular' coconut is very, very sugary. ~ Suzie
My guess would be for a cookie or other sweet it probably won't make a lot of difference but in a savory dish using sweetened coconut rather than unsweetened might make the taste come out wrong.
Sapphires, can't you soak the coconut for a while or at least rinse it then dry it? Toasting it only takes a brief time, too.
Sapphires, I'd go ahead and follow the recipe as written using the sweetened coconut. The sweetened coconut will probably toast a little quicker, so keep an eye on it (the sugar will make it toast quicker - that may be why the recipe recommends unsweetened). I'm sure it will be fine. Let us know!

Drums in the Dark
Last Friday I had the privilege of interacting with an AMAZING group of artists at the Kenya Society for the Blind.
I met Santiago, a volunteer from Argentina who came to Kenya and found himself at home with disability. He begun the Drums in the Dark project after sending months in Kangudo working with blind and visually impaired children.
Drums in the Dark aims to offer alternative employment opportunities for disabled persons, it seeks to showcase the skill and high levels of creativity and professionalism amongst the artists.
I was lucky to sit in during a practice session, and it was mind blowing!
Santiago and the 6 percussionists, Winnie, Joseph, Mike, and the rest are working hard to showcase their talent at a charity event at the Italian Cultural Centre, and I for one, plan on attending! The monies raised will enable the group purchase drum sets that they so desperately need.
It will be a show with a cause for show.
See you there!
