(Panama City, Gamboa, Playa Blanca)
Your kids will love hearing the stories of real-life pirate Henry Morgan who looted and destroyed Old Panama in 1671 as they recreate his swashbuckling swordsmanship among the ruins of the ransacked city.
This family-friendly trip will keep your kids engaged as you travel to Miraflores to watch the huge ships passing through the Panama Canal and amazingly lowered 16 meters down two distinct steps at Miraflores Locks. You'll also take a historic train journey through the jungle from Panama City to Colon; board dugout canoes to an authentic village of the Embera tribe; observe the rainforest canopy from an aerial tram; sail to Monkey Island where your captain will hand feed wild white-face capuchin and howler monkeys; spot sloths, turtles and crocodiles in their natural habitat; and much more.
The fun doesn't stop on this great family trip, however there's also plenty of educational value on offer too. From experiencing traditional Embera cultural rituals in an authentic jungle village to learning about the engineering feats of Miraflores Locks, your kids will be exposed to valuable world lessons they can't find in a classroom. And there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy quality family time at the range of child-friendly hotels and rainforest resorts that make for relaxing evenings.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
You will be met and greeted at the Airport by an English speaking guide and transferred by private vehicle and driver.
Your English speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel and take you on a private tour to Panama City and the Miraflores Locks. You will start the tour with a 30 minute drive to Miraflores to see the huge vessels passing the Panama Canal. The busiest hours are from 9am to 10am and from 2pm to 5pm, so you will be able to see many ships getting lifted or lowered 16 meters in two distinct steps. Enjoy the view on the locks from a sheltered terrace and listen to the explanations from your guide. To complete the visit of the Canal you will visit the Museum and Visitor Center at Miraflores which gives you a good idea on the construction of the Canal – a masterpiece of engineering. You will also learn about the history of the canal and its significance for Panama and the entire world trade as well as on the current expansion project.
After the visit to the Canal, continue with your guide to the Amador Causeway, a road that connects three Islands in the Pacific Ocean and offers magnificent views on the Canal on one side and on the skyline of Panama City on the other side. Lunch will be served in a Panamanian restaurant on the causeway. After lunch, the tour continues to the Casco Viejo, Panama City's colonial quarter. Take in the lovely colonial houses, the narrow roads and the impressive churches in this part of the city which may well remind you of bygone days. You will get a good idea about Panama's history by driving or walking through the main attractions of this quarter. Continue on to Panama Viejo, the Old Panama. Panama Viejo was the first European settlement on the Pacific coast of the Americas and unfortunately, was looted and destroyed by the notorious English bucaneer Henry Morgan in 1671 and therefore abandoned. Today there are only ruins left, however the tower of the ancient cathedral is standing and has become a landmark of the town. After the tour you will be taken back to your hotel.
Please note: Depending on ship traffic in the locks the order of the tour might be inverted to try to ensure that you will see ships in the locks.
Early in the morning a Panama Trails representative will pick you up at the hotel and bring you to the local train station (Corozal). Undertake a train trip on the historical and original railway course from Panama City to Colón. This 1-hour travel leads you through the jungle and along the Panama Canal. This course was finished in 1855. The French Panama Canal company had acquired the railway line in 1880, as an assistance to build the Canal. In 1904 the Americans bought the Canal and the railway line and were operating it line until 1979. In 1998, Panama privatized the railway line and renewed it completely. Since 2001, the course is again passable and a unique attraction.
After the beautiful train trip, you will continue with your guide from Colón to the port of Portobelo. This port was the gathering point of the Peruvian treasures in the 15th century. The gold and silver was shipped from here towards the metropolis of the empire, and in addition, Portobelo was the center of control and inspection of the goods, which arrived from Spain. The ruin complex is built and set up in the middle of the tropical jungle and covers a set of fortresses, castles and military bases.
After this historical excursion, you will continue to an Embera Indian Village on Gatun River. A fascinating and dense jungle will accompany you on a short boat trip to the village. Downriver you will step out of the dugout canoes and enter the village of the Embera Indians, one of seven indigenous tribes in Panama. The people of the Embera tribe will welcome you at the pier and gladly give you an idea on how they still live today. The village's chief will give you a brief explication on the history of the tribe, its traditions, cultures, believes and handicrafts. Then, a traditional lunch of fish and plantains prepared by the Embera women will be served to you. In the afternoon you will experience a traditional Embera dance and have the opportunity to shop for handicrafts. The sale of local products directly benefits the village and helps to pay the school fees for the children. You can also get a temporary Embera tattoo painted on your arm or leg.
After the tour, transportation to Gamboa Rainforest will be provided.
Get ready for some excitement today as you strap in and fly along an aerial tramway which traverses a mile long tract of Humid Forest that lies within the Gamboa Resort's boundaries! The aerial tram ride traverses a mile long tract of Humid Forest that lies within the Gamboa Resort's boundaries. You will observe the forest canopy in some areas in which you'll probably find birds and hear the howler monkeys. The tram ascends 280 feet over half a mile and ends atop a hill.On the following boat tour, you will pass by the Panama Canal right beside the huge tankers and container ships.The White-Face Capuchin and Howler Monkeys are the main attractions of this tour. Usually the Captain of your boat brings them some fruit so you can watch them coming down from their trees to get it. If you are attentive you will spot a sloth, always so lazy sleeping in their trees. You will see turtles, timid but brave at the same time, along with the proud caiman and crocodiles that live in the lake. To complete the tour, a delicious lunch will be served at Los Lagartos restaurant overlooking the Chagres River.tour is approximately 6 hours in duration and transportation to and from the Gamboa resort as well as an English speaking guide, drinking water and packed lunch are included.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"Very prompt at getting information back to us and very helpful with any changes we wanted.
This trip was as good as the last trip we did with Kensington, could'nt have been any better. Our guides were excellent, especially Gerald.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

For Immediate Release
Ware (September 13, 2013) The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May, most commonly the flu peaks in the U.S. in January or February. To maintain optimal protection from the flu, Dr. Scott Siege, Medical Director of BMP-Quabbin Pediatrics is recommending that adults and children older than 6 months receive an influenza (flu) vaccination this fall.
"Children in particular are great germ spreaders and are vulnerable to colds, flu and other viruses since they come into contact with so many other children at daycare and school," said Dr. Siege who notes that annually millions of people suffer from the cough, fever, aches, and pains caused by the flu, a highly contagious infection. "While it may seem too early to think about flu season, now is the time to get vaccinated against this highly contagious respiratory illness. We recommend getting it as soon as the vaccine is available, because it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to provide protection against the virus. Additionally, we now know that protection lasts through the whole flu season even when given as early as August," Dr. Siege said.
For the past several months, U.S. public health officials including the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), and pharmaceutical companies have been busy making and planning for the distribution of millions of doses of the flu vaccine to protect Americans in the upcoming season.
According to the CDC, each year an average of 20,000 children under the age of 5 are hospitalized because of influenza complications. "The flu vaccine saves lives and spares millions of people days, and sometimes weeks, of misery", notes Dr. Siege, who notes that according to the CDC, between 5 and 20 percent of Americans get the flu each year, leading to 200,000 hospitalizations.
Among the two dozen vaccine-preventable diseases, including measles, mumps, polio, and whooping cough, seasonal influenza is the only one for which a new vaccine is required every year for proper protection. "Even if your child received the vaccine last year, that will not protect them from getting the flu this year," said Dr. Siege. "The flu vaccine protection wears off and flu viruses constantly change. That is why the vaccine is updated each year to include the most current strains of the virus."
"Children age 8 and younger who are receiving the flu vaccine for the first time need two doses of this year's flu vaccine given at least four weeks apart," said Dr. Siege. "One dose is adequate for children age 9 and older and younger children who've been adequately vaccinated before. Children who need two doses of flu vaccine but only get one might not be protected from the flu."
"Keep in mind that yearly flu vaccines are also important for family members and caregivers that are in close contact with children younger than age 5," notes Dr. Siege. "Getting the vaccine not only helps protect against the flu, but it keeps those who are vaccinated from being a carrier of influenza and infecting others."
"In addition to an annual flu shot, you can help to protect your children and family from the flu and other illnesses by avoiding large crowds whenever possible, practicing good hand washing, never picking up used tissues, never sharing cups and eating utensils, covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and staying home from work or school when someone is sick with the flu," said Dr. Siege.
The Physician's at Baystate Medical Practices - Quabbin Pediatric Practice include Dr. Scott Siege, Dr. Jeannette Tokarz and Dr. Kirti Nagpal. Located on the campus of Baystate Mary Lane Hospital in Ware, office hours are scheduled to accommodate the needs of working families, including evening hours Monday through Wednesday, and priority is given to same-day "sick visits". For more information or to schedule an appointment with one of the pediatricians at Baystate Medical Practice – Quabbin Pediatrics please call 413-967-2040.

As a general rule, once an action figure has been created in your likeness and shipped to toy stores around the globe, any claims of regular-guy status pretty much go straight out the window. But the five members of the British boy band One Direction—that's, from left, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Harry Styles, for those of you who were literally raised by wolves—tend to insist, quite convincingly, that they're still the same lads who first auditioned for the U.K. version of The X Factor more than two years back. "What we do isn't normal," allows Niall, nineteen, in an interview conducted on the London set of the group's Teen Vogue cover shoot. "But we're normal."
Harry, eighteen, agrees. "One time, a girl dropped her phone in my pocket," he recalls, "and I found it and was like, 'There you go.' And she said, 'If you'd had my phone, you'd have had to meet up with me to give it back.'" Hearing this story, one can't help but be struck by the girl's optimism—and cheek—but Harry seems more astounded by the idea that she deemed him worthy of such a ploy in the first place. "It's nice to have people go to these lengths for you," he says, "but sometimes it's hard to understand, because we're just guys. We're guys who would be at your school, who got this amazing opportunity."
Of course, it's true. And thanks to the fact that the band was formed while cameras were rolling, anyone who wants to see what their favorite member of 1D was like pre-fame is able to do so simply by entering a few keywords on YouTube. (We recommend Zayn refuses to dance at boot camp for a combination of shyness, stage fright, and stubbornness that's almost as crush-inspiring, at least in retrospect, as any of the slick videos that came afterward.)
Now, the guys are hard at work promoting their just-released second album, Take Me Home, and prepping for a world tour that begins in February. "We're playing the Staples Center in Los Angeles," announces Zayn, nineteen. "One of the first concerts I saw in America was there—Britney Spears—and I remember thinking, 'This place is massive.' Now we're going to be playing there? I can't wait." Their schedule is intense enough that Liam, nineteen, has to think long and hard to come up with a single thing about his life that hasn't changed in the past year. "I still put on underwear every day," he offers, at last. But according to Louis, who is about to turn 21, the boys continue to have plenty of time to be boys, so to speak. "There's quite a lot of waiting around," he explains, "so we often find the need to be a little mischievous. Like today, for example, Liam and I managed to get on the roof of [the photo studio], and we were hiding from everyone. We just try to keep ourselves entertained." Luckily, they're doing a pretty good job of keeping everyone else entertained while they're at it.
One Direction Dream Giveaway! Enter for a chance to win a trip to L.A. to see 1D live with your BFF, a personalized video message from your favorite band member, must-have autographed goodies, plus beauty products from Rimmel.

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
The ASPCA is national, but they have groups all over the country. I donated to help the displaced animals after the horrific tornadoes in OK and after Hurricane Sandy. We have a local chapter here in Augusta, GA. Find your local group and help out there and adopt from them. I don't believe they euthanize when they can save....contrary to an earlier post I read. They are humane and help all over the country!
I love seeing these animals becoming the beautiful soft caring fur babies they were always meant to be!
If you live near a breeder its your job to keep an eye on it and report any abuse you see. Until all of these places are shut down, as most only care about the profit and not the animals, the abuse will continue. Always speak up for the voiceless, even if you just suspect abuse, there just aren't enough agents to keep tabs on all the places they hide these poor animals. We all have to speak up always!And do what you can to support these agencys so they can rescue and rehome these dogs!
Beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. The little darling hope all the others got the same results, I take my hat off to the lovely people who spare the time to give hope to all the animals mistreated.
A large number came to the Kent County Animal shelter in Grand Rapids, Michigan and were adopted almost immediately. The ASPCA, American Humane and HSUS who do these puppy mill rescues deal with local facilities for their adoption.
In 2008 I adopted an English Toy Spaniel and a Maltepoo from a local small dog rescue - both had been pulled from pounds where they had been "dumped." Each was about a year old and five years later they are my "velcro" companions and wonderful furkids. There are a lot more out there like Bella and Nicky - my two cats are also shelter rescue !! Best family to have !!
We adopted a JRT mix from our local shelter 4 years ago. He was in foster care at the time...very timid, but snappy. He still has moderate health probs. Took awhile to warm up to our other dogs, but made quick friends with the cat. I would be lost without my little Jackie Jack. Don't be discouraged by distance or medical issues with these babies.
I am vehemently opposed to breeding dogs. These puppy mills and most independent breeders use dogs as a cash crop. I'd love to see large licensing fees for all breeders. They are part of the problem that causes so many homeless and neglected pets. It's very upsetting to see understand why it matters so much to have a full breed or designer dog.
If you love dogs, please look at the many mix breeds that are out there. In the last 17 yrs , I have found 11 dogs on the streets of Cleveland . I found homes for 6 and have kept those that I couldn't place. They have all become great and loyal friends, albeit most have been a bit quirky. Therein lies their real beauty. I still have Wiley, found 14 yrs. ago. Much more fearful than the dog in this video. I trust him completely. I and any of our grand kids could take a bone from his mouth. Maggie , my only adopted dog, had a ton of issues, including her age, cancer, orthopedic injuries, food aggression. She loves attention and is now quite mellow. We found Cali on a freeway exit last yr. not a beauty, but a such a sweet girl. Please think about a real designer dog, a mix breed.
I believe it is absolutely amazing how much trust an animal can put in to a human. For a human to be cruel to an animal and then believe they have the right to use animals as financial gain or to use them for their sick and twisted anger is wrong. I believe in animal rights, regardless if an animal is "vicious" or not. All animals, even the human kind, deserve second chances. Thanks for the update on Zack.
This is such a great story! I love that animals put so much trust in their owners. However, so many put their trust into the wrong person. It's a shame that when an animal is defending themselves and they attack a person, they are put down and wrongfully not given justice. Humans should be treated the same way. Animals should not be the only source of income for a person. Zack is an incredible story, and I love the outcome! When an animal can trust a person, it is an awesome feeling. #helpinganimals

Karma Kagyu is about direct transmission.
Good to hear from you.
I spent about 15 years with Trungpa Rinpoche, if you're familiar with his work. His work! Your signature lines describe it perfectly.
So at this point I'm a refugee from Shambhala, and yet Trungpa is still, in some ways, my guru.
Looking forward to hearing more from you in this rather bracing atmosphere of the Sam Harris Forum.

The controversial response came up when Cary was asked about her position on the use marijuana during the Q&A portion of the contest. A tongue tied Cary, who initially wanted to point out her acceptance for the medical use of marijuana, ended up giving this confusing response.
"I think that depends on the situation," she began. "I personally know people who have had to go to medical marijuana for their last resort, for their health care and I completely agree with that."
Later on adding, "I don't think it should be used for anything but recreational use and health care."

In Irvine, the imam listens to underground hip-hop.
In Garden Grove, at the Islamic Society of Orange County, Southern California's largest mosque, the assistant imam wears jeans and winds down from a stressful day with Run DMC and LL Cool J.
In Anaheim, at the recently opened College of Islamic Studies, the founding imam plays video games and once dreamed of owning a Ferrari.
Polls indicate that Islam is America's youngest and fastest growing faith. And, as the faith grows, Islam in America is doing something else – it's becoming American.
In less than a decade, Leadership at several of Orange County's largest and most influential mosques has begun passing from an older generation of foreign-born, nonnative-English-speaking imams to a new, young cohort of rap-listening, jeans-wearing, basketball-playing, American-born Muslims.
"I think within five to seven years, half the mosques (in Southern California) will be headed by (imams) who are local or American-born or raised," said Suhail Mulla, assistant imam at the Garden Grove mosque. "That's a huge shift. Five years ago, there was not even one."
There are no national statistics showing the birth origins of imams at American mosques. But roughly a fifth of Southern California's 110 mosques are led by native-born imams, said Shakeel Syed, executive director of the Shura Council of Southern California, a Muslim umbrella organization covering Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
Mulla, 41, said he knows of at least a dozen more young Southern California Muslims training to become imams.
Until recently, mosques in Southern California and the rest of America served a mostly foreign-born population of immigrants anxious about their place in a new world and yearning for reminders of home.
Worshippers looked abroad for religious leadership, importing bearded, robe-wearing imams whose Training at Middle Eastern universities and conservative cultural bearing provided reassuring gravitas.
Now, as immigrants' children grow up, needs are changing rapidly.
"I get calls from around the country, emails," said Mustafa Umar, the 31-year-old Ferrari-loving educational director at the Islamic Institute of Orange County mosque in Anaheim.
"(They say,) 'Please, find me anyone who somewhat resembles you. Someone born here with a degree in Islamic studies. Someone who finished High School in America. We'll pay whatever it is. We'll give them whatever incentive.'"
Umar was lured to the Anaheim mosque with promises that he could found a college of Islamic studies to train more young men and women like him.
Umar was raised in Tustin and educated at UC Irvine and at Islamic studies institutes in India, Egypt and France. He felt spurred to pursue a career in religious leadership by childhood memories of barely intelligible sermons and mind-numbing religious classes that nearly drove him away from faith.
"These imams from abroad just can't speak to the American context," he said. "They don't understand the issues and the challenges and the doubts people go through here."
The inaugural semester of Umar's College of Islamic Studies in Anaheim last fall included 350 students. Another 250 enrolled in spring. Three classes begin this fall, along with another six offered online. All are taught by Umar and attended mostly by young, professional Muslims looking to expand their knowledge of the faith and explore a possible second career in religious leadership.
Nowhere is the youth boom in contemporary Islam more evident than at the Islamic Center of Irvine, known throughout Southern California as "the youth mosque," according to Yasmine El Haj Ibrahim, a 19-year-old co-leader of the mosque's thriving youth program.
Two hundred teenage and preteen Muslims, some from as far away as Bakersfield and San Diego, gather at the mosque every Friday evening for classes, socializing and a basketball game with the mosque's 30-year-old imam, Jamaal Diwan.
Diwan, raised in Torrance and a graduate of UC San Diego, played varsity basketball in high school. He didn't become a Muslim until he read "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" in college.

NEWORLEANS- It was an ALS summit unlike any that had been done before. Former NFL player Steve Gleason invited scientists and doctors from around the world to put their minds together and collaborate on a direction to treat, and one day cure, ALS.
It's another challenge from Steve Gleason, who is asking others to change the future.
'There are so many different people working on so many and different things, but there's not, they haven't found anything that will link everything together so that they can maybe make more progress,' said Paul Varisco.
Varisco is Gleason's father-in-lawand the executive director of Team Gleason, and he says along with the 45 medical and science experts at the recent two-day summit in downtown New Orleans, were 80 people with ALS,their caretakers, ALS organizationsand advocates who could challenge the top minds.But so could others in their homes from around the globe.
'We actually had online, we 'webcasted' and we had 1,500 people from 37 states and 9 countries also listening. And they were able to ask questions as well,' said Varisco.
WhatGleason wants to come out of this summit, is cutting edge research, thinking out of the box, and to challenge the scientists and cliniciansto look in a brand new direction.
'Steve's encouragement to the group, in fact, he used the words to 'think like a beginner' tryto, you know, you can't throw out everything that you've done, but let's try to think out of the box, think like a beginner, and start to look at thisin a different way, because in spite of all the great things that have happened and what they're doing, there still is no cure,' he added.
Gleasonhas already made a difference by challenging people to do more with communications technology at the United Nations. And soon, the first ALS patient will move into what's called 'a neighborhood' in St. Margaret's skilled nursing residence. It's outfitted to let residents be more independent, using eye-activated technology to do everyday things.
Now Gleason is at it again.
'Steve's challenge can bring them together for one common goal and with that one voice. Wethink we will have made great progress,'Varisco said.
Team Gleason hopes to identify the scientific area it wants to focus on by the end of the year.
The one thing scientists agreed upon was the recent discovery of biomarkersthat cangive insight toa prognosis.
Team Gleason recently completed an epic adventure to Peru. You can see the inspirational video here:

They were all students of the Xavier Institute following the destruction of Genosha and the employment of Emma Frost. Because of their personalities, appearance, and telepathy, Emma took special notice to them and they were known as "her girls" (at this time no one knew they were her genetically engineered "daughters").Riot At Xaviers 2They were the top of their class with their only serious rival being Quentin Quire. Sophie was also the object of Quentin's affections (he referred to her as the 'pretty one' despite their obvious identical nature).Sophie, however, loathed Quentin and during the Riot of Xavier Institute's opening day, Sophie convinced her sisters to battle Quentin. She lead the assault, amplifying her power with Cerebra and won the battle but at the cost of her life.Kid OmegaQuentin then evolved into a sentient collective of psionic energy. When the Phoenix returned to earth, her reconstituted himself into a more physical form and sought out the Phoenix in order to resurrect Sophie.He went to far as to exhume her body and restructure it partially, flying it all the way to Phoenix on an icy glacier.

I was told that I can do a lollipop lift without getting a reduction. I like the size of my breast but want them an inch or so higher. I've had 3 consultations here in Chicago and decided to go with Dr. Ross. Taking these pics my boobs look... more
"43 Years Old, an 11 Year Old Child,..."
For years I was unhappy with my breasts, the droopiness, how deflated they were, and how uneven they were. I knew I didn't want implants but wasn't sure what I wanted. After my first consultation with Dr. Casas, I then knew I wanted a lift with a reduction on one of my breasts, which is what she recommend to me. The procedure was very smooth and somewhat easy, relatively speaking. Dr.... more
"BL No Implants - Chicago, IL"
I am starting my review after my pre op today. I had a breast reduction in my early 20s and after two kids wanted to be able to go braless, feel more comfortable in a bathing suit and just feel lighter. I decided to go without an implant because I have enough tissue and don't want to be larger at all. I know I'll have stretch marks and no upper pole fullness but I don't like the idea of... more
"Breast Lift Two Years After Removing..."
I've finally decided to move forward with my breast lift. Dec 2011 I had my implants removed. Best decision ever! After many hours of research, talking to doctors, looking thru pics, and reading reviews the date is scheduled. I'm nervous and excited. I believe I've found a great doctor for the procedure; in Highland Park, IL.I'll post before pics in a few days. I'm 42, 2 children, breastfed... more

"Scars Are Horrible - Des Plaines, IL"
After loosing 15 lb and being size d since 16, I was not happy with the way I look without bra. In a bra - everything was perfect. I decided to undergo breast lift and added 275 cc implants for some fullness. Recovery was fast, only crazy itching after anesthesia. I applied silicon sheets for a year, was using different scar removing lotions, didn't wear be a with wires for 6 months, slept in... more
"Breast Lift...Finally Did It!! - La..."
Breast Lift done yesterday. Surgery was not bad at all compared to my tummy tuck 2 years ago. I didn't have to stay overnight this time which was great. Surgery was at 1pm and I was back home by 9pm. I took one dose of pain meds last night, but haven't needed them at all today. I was able to shower today and I am up and moving around with no problems. I was a little shocked to see my new... more
"Breast Lift + Silicone Implants =..."
I had a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) and Breast Augmentation (Silicone 500cc's) done April 4, 2013. I am now 2 weeks post-op, and I am having my stitches removed from my incisions today. I removed the surgical strips that covered my incisions, and I was shocked to see how well they are healing. I can tell my scarring will be minimal. The asymmetry I had prior to this procedure has been... more
I am a 26 y/o female and have been told by another PS that I would likely need a breast lift. I have a consult scheduled with Dr. Geldner in April to discuss a lift + implants. I was wondering what the approximate cost of a lift + silicone implants looks like? I would like to do the implants submuscular, if possible. Thanks! more
"Amazing Experience So Far! - Chicago, IL"
I am 43 years old and finally decided that this was the right time for me to go ahead with the breast lift I have wanted for years, but had not wanted the trauma or down time. Finally after years of ill-fitting bras and difficulty working out (running, boxing, Pilates) I went in for a consultation and was told my right breast was larger than my left, by more than the usual amount most women... more
"Utterly Disappointed - Skokie, IL"
I had saline implants put in and liposuction done a few years ago. The lipo turned out really bumpy. I went back in for surgery a few years later to get the bumps corrected and to get a breast lift with silicone implants instead of saline. 1. My lipo ended up even bumpier than it was originally. 2. A lot of my natural breast tissue was taken out, which we had never talked about. 3. The... more
I had the anchor breastlift last Sept. and wear a bra even to sleep in. I'm very disappointed. My breasts look like someones breasts who's just going in to get them done. They are sagging with the exception that they are sagging from a higher position on my chest. I've had a 'tweek' surgery in Feb. to correct a fold in my skin in my cleavage, which is still there. The self-confidence I was... more

The mix of students within my program brings a lot of different experiences and interests to the classroom environment. The professors are great and bring their real-world work experience into lessons to make learning more enjoyable and relatable. Being able to get a feel for the corporate work environment and working with other professionals through co-op is an added bonus!
I love how hands-on the program is! The professors are also all passionate about teaching which really encourages you to work hard. We get real experience with equipment used in industry, we are ready to go out in to industry with a lot of experience, just from being in our classes!
I really like the small, hands-on lab classes. The professors know your name and they bring world experiences to the lectures. I enjoyed my co-op experiences because they allowed me to find out where I wanted to be once I graduated. Also, within the College of Applied Science and Technology, there are many clubs; like Society of Manufacturing Engineers, and the Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology/Packaging Science Department supports and encourages its activities!
Thanks to the fantastic resources here at RIT, I was very fortunate to find a wonderful co-op with H.J. Heinz company. During my co-op, I learned far more than I had ever expected to. Not only was I able to begin to collect valuable work experience, but also learned a great deal about my chosen field, packaging science. My co-op experience was also very useful once I returned to the classroom. I am very thankful for all the opportunities that I have been afforded and I look forward to moving forward in my career with the confidence I have gained here.
I love my major and the faculty in the department! They are always there to help--and because of that, I know I will do well and succeed in any field I choose!
No matter what you need, there is always somebody ready and willing to help you. My program really prepares you for industry. You get a lot of hands-on experience to reinforce what you learn in the classroom. You come out with a confidence that you can really apply what you've been taught in the real world. The BS/MS program allows you to get a MS degree in the same amount of time as a BS...saving money and time!
MET is a great program! It not only develops you educationally, but intellectually as well while preparing you for industry.
Since my first class at RIT, I knew I was at the right school. A combination of the major I selected as well as the faculty and staff has helped me get the most out of my time at RIT. The school offers students a wide array of programs and organizations to get involved with, as well as opportunities to grow personally and technically. I have met many students from different areas of the world in different majors, and I will have the opportunity to grow my relationships with each of them, even after we graduate. One of the strongest points of my education at RIT has been the ability to have many different co-op opportunities. Not only does RIT value education, but they also work very diligently with students to find co-ops prior to graduating. While on co-op I was able to apply what I learned in class to my work while learning more about the packaging industry. I am very proud to be graduating from RIT...opportunities are always available to students, and that is a huge advantage being at RIT. As always...GO TIGERS!
Take advantage of all that RIT has to offer--there's a program for everyone!

Non-stop "you smell so gooood" comments from the ladies.
To me it's what Polo Blue could only hope to be.
Is it just me or does Bleu De Chanel garner a crazy amount of compliments from the opposite sex? Just bought it yesterday and when I sniffed it out a few months ago it didn't really impress me too much but now its really growing on me. Good safe reliable scent from Chanel. What are your guys thoughts on the this fragrance.

BdC's top notes snaps necks as you walk by! To bad they don't last long enough on my skin.
Last edited by peake1; 14th September 2012 at 03:55 PM.
I'm really loving this stuff right now 2 hour since app and still going strong
Sampled BDC several times and wasn't impressed or thought it smelled great. I can see why some popular fragrances are so popular but I don't see why this one is. I guess I will have to try again.
Yep, I've had numerous compliments from women when I wear this, whereas many other fragrances barely register with them.
It definitely has *something*.
Thanks for the reminder. Time to get another bottle.
The hunt for a Signature Fragrance is not an easy one! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Edit: 2015... I've given up and given in
Want to buy or swap: A*men Ultra Zest, Bentley Intense, Mont Blanc Legend Intense, Paco Rabanne Invictus,
Hmm, I think there's a lot of Chanel reps planted here on BN sent to hype up Bleu sales?? (j/k)
I just tested this one, interesting....
"If you enjoy the fragrance of a rose, you must accept the thorns which it bears."
-Isaac Hayes
The sillage has a nice ginger-cardamom "vibration" to it -- it's dynamic in a way.
I prefer Declaration Bois Bleu though. The sweetness of BdC gets to me.
For me doesn't get any more or less than any other scent I wear.
I bought a fake and THAT smelled good as well...
For some reason this scent just does not agree with my skin chemistry. It goes really sour on me.
I tried it, and was impressed. Couldn't justify purchasing it at it's price tag, at the time. I'll have to run down to macy's to see what the deal is now.
I wanted to like this fragrance but after a few wearings I find it bland and cannot detect it myself. I really do not see the appeal in this fragrance at all. I think it's the fact that it just soaks into my pores and leaves no trail!
La vita è breve, la morte vien.
Wanted!!! Rectoverso Tea Tobacco by Ulric de Varens. PM Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's my Scent Of The Day. No Compliments whatsoever.
- - - Updated - - -
Smells good but like others say it is bland. Plenty of other designers I prefer and know are compliment getters
Yes...most females that I know love Bleu. It's one of my wife's favorites that I've tried.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
I haven't sampled it yet but I am looking to pick one up in the future just to see what all the hype, both good and bad are about.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
I like it, but not smelled like putting my nose to my skin - but from some distance, as sillage. It's one of the rare "modern" frags i can wear. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be a classic.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
I think it is superb, I really didn't think it was too special when I first tested it out, but after a few wears I realized the genius of it. Really pleasant, great compliment getter and long lasting and refreshing.

I've tried Blue and knew she would like it, but to me its just like Polo Blue: generic, bland, sporty and sour.. Didnt tell her offcouse.. I only wear Polo now sometimes for her, don't need Blue in my collection.
Whats it with woman and these types of fragrances..
I once received Polo Blue as a Christmas gift from my brother and wore it for a whole year. I only received a few compliments with it. BdC gets me a little more attention from women, especially the non-verbal kind. Lots of smiles and stares with BdC for me. If they are in range, I can tell if they like it or not.
BdC is the only one from my lot my wife compliments me on. The other one is, wait... Bogart PH. Unreal!
It does garner a lot of compliments from the opposite sex but I regularly waffle on this scent. Sometimes I wear it and love it, other times it starts to bother me after about an hour. One I do have to commit to wearing well ahead of time just for my own sake.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
I just tested this one, interesting....
I think Blue is a very interesting scent. It gets a lot of criticism here but it really is a wonderful fragrance which garners many compliments. It can make an excellent signature fragrance.
the juice has amazing properties..in the same line Midnight In Paris by VC&A....
It smells like sweet and sour candy. Not sweet in a good way. It started off actually quite pleasant but, it gets annoying and cloying very quickly. The linear sweet/sour fruitiness is just a bit too much.
When I wore it, Bleu got more than an average number of compliments. But I stopped wearing it after the second woman told me an ex-boyfriend wore it and it brought back bad memories. It's that popular in my neck of the woods.
And I grew to vaguely dislike its synthetic notes. Don't hate it, just don't much care for it any more.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
I don't see the appeal of this fragrance. It's rather generic, boring and bland imo. It has something in it, that sorta nags me as well.
I sprayed on some La Buoy De La Homme while at a girls house the other day and she recommended Bleu. will have to check this out now.
I received it as a gift. It does garner a lot of positive attention. I also don't fully understand why.
To my nose, it's a boring scent cliche, executed really well.
Not bad at all, but also not new or challenging to the nose of a fragrance enthusiast.
I actually do wear it once in a while. When I don't want to smell edgy or unusual.
Approaching it on its own terms, my only criticism is that the composition borders on 'too dense to feel fresh'
Make of that what you will.
- - - Updated - - -
Get over yourself.
Say no to mass market over popular scents. Needless to say won't bother to order this one now.
For the record I don't own 1 Million either.
Personally, I can't stand the stuff... but that's no reflection on Bleu. I just don't like ginger.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
Definitely picking this up this weekend!
Smells great. Is it generic? Yes, if the quality and refinements that Chanel brings to Bleu aren't enough for you. It's not niche. But then Chanel specializes in creating highly polished exemplars of familiar genres. Bleu is no exception.
I tried but alas, I don't enjoy wearing it. I never took to it.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?

"good for puupies"
We buys these and give them to the new owners when they pick their puppy up.
"Can't Believe it !"
I have a very large Bloodhound that has been getting these little guys for a years. He does NOT shred them. He chews(or is it sucks) on them for long long periods of time. He is not a gentle dog, but for some unknown reason- he does not hurt his bears. The only time they get destroyed is if one of his friends takes an interest, or the lawn mower finds one. A six pack lasts a good long time.
"Great value"
These are great - I've bought them many times. Best if you have a dog over 2 to 3 y/o. Most of my dogs have used them for squeaking, security totem, pillow, and attention-getters. If your dog likes to rip into things and tear them apart, these will not last 5 min. Still, at a low price, it might be worth it to you for your toy-killer to have 5 min. of fun.
"Perfect for a Bichon!"
My Bichon loves her baby bears. Our Lab would love them too but he would eat them in one bite!
"Not very sturdy..."
These are so cute and soft that we bought a pack to give at Christmas. I can see them doing well for a small dog who doesn't like to chew, but they're really not too sturdy. My husky, who never destroys her toys, licked her bear a few times and the fleece was coming off in clumps from then on until I had to toss it. It didn't quite work for me, but its still a great value for gifts.

Why do people constantly refer to older religions (that are not christian) as pagan religions?
The word "pagan" actually derives from the latin word "paganus" (which means country dweller, or someone that resides outside the boundaries of rome that chooses not to worship the god or gods of rome).
That's interesting, because rome wasn't always christian. In fact, maybe people should actually go back to worshipping the gods of ancient rome. Mithras, I'm sure would like to get some of his followers back.

Friday's basketball skills competition wasn't about which kids shot the most buckets. No one cared about who had the most pristine handles. It was a simple chance for special needs students to be comfortable in their own skin among peers.
Kinston's Fairfield Recreation Center hosted the fall Kinston-Lenoir County Special Olympics, which has been running over 25 years.
Eighty athletes from areas schools — including Frink Middle School, Kinston High School, Rochelle Middle School and Woodington Middle School — filled the gym at Fairfield to showcase their passing, shooting and dribbling skills.
"A lot of the kids practiced, so a lot of them are competitive with their games," said Jenny Inabinet of the Kinston/Lenoir County Parks and Recreation Department. "But it's about them having a day just for them to have fun."
Another important feature during Friday's event was the social opportunity for the children.
"It's about the special needs kids really coming out and having fun," Rochelle Middle teacher's assistant Margie Cannon said. "(They are) the kids who can't do the regular activities and can come out, be their own self and no one (would) make fun of them."
She supervised a heat of students from the middle school as they participated in shooting exercise.
Annya Coward, a seventh grader from Rochelle who is multi-handicapped, couldn't stop glowing as she went up for multiple shots.
A few dozen spectators watched the event, including volunteers, teachers and parents.
Deidre Cox sat in the stands to support her sixth grade son, KiAntay Merrit, who she said was mildly autistic.
Merrit read the oath before the games began, not knowing his mom was mouthing the words right along with him like they'd practiced.
"I was very happy. I am very proud of him," Cox said, staying two steps behind her son with a disposable camera as he competed.
She said the students "are special and they can be anything that they put in their minds to accomplish."
Special Olympic Games are hosted each fall and spring and are coordinated by volunteers and the recreation department.
Several Walgreen's store managers from Lenoir and neighboring counties supported Monday's event.
"This is probably the best event of the year," said Joe McHugh, a Walgreen's manager from Wallace. "We do a ton of community events, and you just feel so good about yourself to come help them. I think it's important that the community does their part."
Other than facilitating athletic events — which included keeping score and ball management — the Special Olympics also provided temporary tattoos, a Christmas decoration station and Flimsy the Clown.
Students between the ages of 8 and 16 competed and winners were given ribbons at the conclusion of the ceremony.
Lisa Barefoot brought her son, Drew, to the games even though he wasn't old enough to compete.
"We're getting ready to see what he'll be able to do," she said of her 5-year-old son who has Down syndrome. "He's enjoyed himself."
