- AKFAvatar
- AKFAvatar is a fancy graphical user interface for applications, where an avatar appears on the screen and tells things to the user via a speech bubble. There can also be recorded audio files, so that the user even can hear what it is saying. It can be used for infotainment systems.
With AKFAvatar you can easily write cross platform applications in Lua. Lua scripts don't even need to be compiled for the target platform. It has an interface for C programs. Furthermore there is a binding for Free Pascal.
- AKFQuiz
- 'AKFQuiz' lets you make your own quiz games, learning exercises or psychotests. These can be used with grquiz in a graphical environment, or with scrquiz on the text-console. There is also a line oriented variant, linequiz, which can be used as a backend. A CGI-variant, cgiquiz, can be installed on a Web server to offer exercises via Internet or a local network. Or you can use mkquiz, which generates an HTML-file for to use with JavaScript. Those can then be published using any web-space provider.
- Abs
- Learn how to program shell scripts using bash, the command interpreter from the GNU project. Start from the basics and become and advanced programmer.
- Aetherspace
- 'Aetherspace' is a project to produce multiplayer game that blends several different game genres. It is being developed by gamers as a way to learn programming. These games are currently under development and, while fun to look at, are not considered playable yet.
- Airtime
- Think of a radio station. Airtime is software that allows multiple people to run it over the internet. Airtime helps them manage the audio archive, upload files, create shows, manage staff, edit the programme calendar and cue playout. Designed specifically for independent media, it's free software.
- Anki
- Anki is a flashcard program which makes remembering things easy. Because it is a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.
Anyone who needs to remember things in their daily life can benefit from Anki. Since it is content-agnostic and supports images, audio, videos and scientific markup (via LaTeX), the possibilities are endless. For example:
- learning a language - studying for medical and law exams - memorizing people's names and faces - brushing up on geography - mastering long poems - even practicing guitar chords!
- Asymptopia Blackjack
- Asymptopia Blackjack (aka: Motorcycle Blackjack) teaches kids to gamble without losing their allowance.
- Avaneya: Viking Lander Remastered DVD
- Whether you are a fan of science fiction, a space–science enthusiast, hobbyist, photographer, gamer or a patron of grass–roots libre arts and technology, you are sure to find the first successful images from the surface of Mars highly captivating. These mind blowing images were taken by NASA's Viking landers during the highly ambitious, billion–dollar mission first launched in 1975. However, many images were nearly lost to history due to magnetic tape deterioration and archaic proprietary technology.
With NASA's blessing, our team developed the technology to recover many of these images. This research tool was part of the design phase of our parent project, Avaneya — our upcoming libre cerebral science fiction game for the GNU operating system set on Mars, described in the words of Richard Stallman as an exciting, pioneering project.
Originally an internal research tool, overwhelming public interest compelled us to release the technology on this DVD for all. Now everyone can relive the original breathtaking experience that captured the world's attention and marked the first successful moment in history that humanity saw Mars — not as a distant, impersonal, celestial body, beheld through a telescope for centuries, but as a tangible and alien world well within its reach.
- BASM is a user friendly and easy to use assembler for The Basic Computer, capable of creating the object, list and hex file and giving detailed error reports. It's more of academic use for students who wish to understand how does The Basic Computer actually work.
- Bibfilex
- Bibfilex is a free bibliographic manager for GNU/Linux and Windows. It's useful to create and to manage archives of bibliographical items (books, articles, etc.) with possible attachments of any kind according to Biblatex structure and rules, but it can be used also with a wordprocessor like Writer or Word. Bibfilex may create and manage files which are catalogs of many items – also thousands of them. A file of Bibfilex is a database of SQLite (www.sqlite.org), a popular software whose data can be easily read and exported through different tools available on the Internet. In a Bibfilex file data are not stored according to Biblatex format, so it cannot be used as a bibliographic file in a Latex document. Anyway, Biblatex may export with a one-click functionality all or part of its content in Biblatex format file; this can be read directly with JabRef or used in a Latex document. At the same time, Bibfilex may import directly a JabRef database. The main features of the software are: store the items according to each one of the entry types described in the Biblatex manual (book, article, etc.); import the content of a file in Biblatex format (like a JabRef database); export data in a Biblatex file (like a JabRef database); import and export data from a Bibfilex file to another along with possible attachments; locate an item just typing its author name, title, etc.; filter the items selecting a keyword in a list; filter the items by the BibTex keys contained within a \cite{} or similar command in a Latex document; filter the items according to three different conditions, or modify manually the SQL statement of the filter to make it more suitable or complex; replace the citation commands (\cite, etc.) and \printbibliography command in a Latex document with extended citations and bibliography, which are composed according to a user defined pattern, and convert the resulting file in other formats with Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc); associate various attachments (files of every kind) to each item; the attachments are zipped and stored in a directory with the same name and path of the Bibfilex file in use, and automatically managed by the software; the number of attachments is limited only by the available disk space; activate autocompletion of data in each field with "Ctrl + Space"; create automatically unique BibTex keys according to a pattern defined by the user; specify the fields (columns) shown in the grid view of the data; forms to insert easily special characters and keywords; bookmarks, to go easily to a specified item; copy in the current item the content of some fields of another item referenced by the crossref field. Bibfilex has also the possibility to compose the citation of an item according to a user defined pattern and copy it in the clipboard in Latex or HTML format; in the last case, the citation may be pasted in a word processor like LibreOffice Writer mantaining font formatting (italic, small caps, etc.). This makes Bibfilex useful also for those who do not use Latex, but a word processor instead.

The Super is designed specifically for aggressive MTB riding. No longer do you need to choose between burly, heavy full-face helmets and wispy light XC helmets. Bell took inspiration from modern full-face helmets frequently used in DH/FR riding and adapted the design for the rider that needs to go up as well as he/she goes down. The moto-inspired form factor makes this helmet perfect for All-Mountain, and Enduro / Super D-style racing. The Super's half-shell design offers unequalled protection from impacts with proper full rear coverage, temple protection and an oversized, moto-style visor.
Venting is accomplished with 25 total vents, with 4 Overbrow ventilation ports that funnel air in through the front of the helmet over your head, cooling from the inside out. No more roasting your head in a brain bucket of a full face helmet.
The Super doesn't stop there. GoPro worked with Bell to create a helmet that integrated perfectly with their line of action cameras. Featuring an integrated, removable GoPro mount that plugs directly into one of the central vents, filming your adventures is easier than ever, without having to deal with dorky helmet mounting straps. The helmet also is eyeglass and goggle friendly. Bell's GoggleGuide™ technology positions the goggle straps neatly around the back of the helmet, and allows the goggles to be moved out of the way to under the visor when not in use without the goggles falling off the helmet or interfering with the visor. You can then move the goggles back into place and put the visor back down with a single hand. Never will you have to bother with your eyewear not working properly with your helmet again. Finally, you can remove the visor completely and replace it with the included GoggleGuide guide arms that will keep your goggles in the right place.

Oxford's Rosamond Posey balances law and music
OXFORD TOWN – Local attorney and musician Rosamond Posey and The Posey Family Band will be rocking at Proud Larry's on Wednesday evenings from 6-8 for the next two weeks where crawfish and rock 'n' roll will rule the night. Business suits, cowboy boots and center stages – Posey is, without a doubt, one of the hardest working (and playing) women in Oxford. See Page 9 of Oxford Town this week and read how the multi-talented lawyer pulls off the ultimate juggling act. (March 25, 2010, Page 9)

|Mindy Duren, RN is the October 2013 DAISY Award Recipient
Mindy Duren, RN is the October 2013 DAISY Award recipient. She is a nurse on 7-South. The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
Mindy was nominated by a parent who wrote:
Mindy has been a blessing to both myself and my son, who was recently diagnosed with Pre B ALL. Since diagnosed three weeks ago, we have spent about 20 days in the hospital and Mindy, whether she is my son's nurse for the day or not, stops by to see how he is doing and to see if he needs anything. She has been so very helpful in explaining the different treatments and medications that he has to take. From the first day he met Mindy, he has declared that she is his favorite female nurse on the floor. Whenever he sees her, she brightens his day with her kindness. She is attentive, caring, listens to him and always makes sure that he knows that he will be okay. Whether she know it or not, she has calmed me down many times when I am scared. She is amazing and someone that I believe should be recognized for her over and above duties she does on the Hem/Onc floor. We know that we have a long, hard road ahead of us. But knowing that ACH has such amazing nurses and knowing we will see Mindy's smiling face and great attitude makes it a lot easier.
Mindy's supervisor added:
Mindy exemplifies her nomination with every patient every day, says Debbie Del Favero, RN, MSN/ED, CPN, NE-BC, Director Hematology-Oncology-HSCT, Vascular Access Team. Mindy always personalizes her care and catches every IV before it beeps. She has been a nurse with All Children's Hospital for three years and is a graduate of our nurse residency program. Since that time, Mindy has become a charge nurse, a member of the 7-South practice council and leads the unit's patient education council. Mindy has been an advocate for cancer care and assisted with our Cancer Survivor's program in June. She also participated in our annual walks for CureSearch. She recently served as one of the awesome chaperones for the ACH homecoming dance. In addition to all these activities, Mindy serves as a preceptor and is currently attending USF to become an ARNP.
Thank you, Mindy, for the compassionate care you provide our patients.

Local chefs, farmer work together to present fanciful meal
Outstanding in the Field is described as "a roving culinary adventure," a kind of restaurant without walls. The founders of this moveable feast promote the use of local produce in local meals prepared by local chefs to be enjoyed by local foodies.
Roughly 150 people took part in the special $180-per-ticket dinner which celebrated not just the chef who prepared the meal, but also the farmer and the fields that helped produce the meal.
As people drank a glass of Riesling, they watched as chef John Currence walked through the garden, selecting peppers, radishes and other vegetables to help add to the meal. (October 8, 2010, Page 1B)

West Point was highly represented on the 2011 5-A Region 1 squads recently selected by the coaches from each school.
In all, the Green Wave had 17 players honored including 10 on the offensive side of the football, the most of any team in the district.
Senior QB Dequinten Spraggins was named Offensive MVP after putting up stellar offensive numbers with his legs and arm. On the year, Spraggins threw 67-of-141 for 1,023-yards and seven touchdowns. He also reached the century mark on the ground, rushing for 1,130-yards and 14 touchdowns on 110 carries. Defensively, he finished with eight tackles and two picks.
Junior Tez Lane and sophomore Aries Williams were named to the First and Second -Team at running back respectively. Lane finished second in rushing behind Spraggins with 1,089-yards on 137 carries and 11 touchdowns while grabbing 11 receptions for 117-yards. Williams finished just shy of 800-yards and 12 touchdowns. Mario Virges, who had 203-yards and three scores, rounded out the backfield honors with a Second -Team selection.
TJ Minor was a Second Team selection at tight end after grabbing half a dozen catches for 131-yards and William Harrell was tabbed a First-Team honoree with a team-best 346 yards on 23 catches and three TD. On the line, Alex Hall (Second-center), Romia Wilson (First-guard), Jonathan Jones (First-tackle) and Carson Miller (Second-tackle) rounded out the offensive unit.

Antrean Bennett and Ed Brown were named Second-Team selections at defensive end. Brown led the team with seven sacks and had 62 tackles. Bennett finished with 58 including three sacks.
Several West Point players will suit for the final time in their high school careers this month. Wilson and Edwards were selected to represent Mississippi in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic set to play Dec. 10 in Montgomery, Alabama.
Spraggins, Miller and linebacker Charles Heard will represent the North in the Bernard Blackwell Game scheduled for Dec. 17 in Biloxi.View more articles in:

Widespread reports of flu may be part of the reason blood donation are down this month.
"We're down by 50 percent in Carteret and Craven alone," said Katrina Willis, a representative of the American Red Cross Mid-Atlantic Region, said. "Since the beginning of January, there has been a dip. I really feel like the flu has a lot to do with it.
Willis — who covers Onslow, Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico counties — said collections have decreased this month, especially during the first two weeks of January.
"The holidays have something to do with it and people just getting back on their regular routines," she said. "That may be a big part, but the biggest part is the flu and the viruses that are going around our different communities.
"I'm sure everybody is being affected with it."
However, Willis said the need for blood products at area hospitals is constant and vital.
"It's very important," she said. "We do have a lot of sickness going on right now. That's more of a reason to get out and donate the blood that our hospitals need. The number of people that need blood products may increase this month because of the sickness."
She said donations of all blood types are needed, but concern is especially high for O negative and B negative. And especially, she said, since January is National Blood Donor Month.
"That's even more of a reason for people to come out and donate and ensure that the Red Cross has a stable blood supply for our patients in need," Willis said.

Stellar concerts on tap for spring
Likely highlights include Dos Los (Los Alacranes & Los Lobos) at Adams Avenue Unplugged, plus gigs by Os Mutantes,Tony Bennett, Steve Miller, John Lee Hooker, Jr., The Gerald Clayton Trio, Juanes
From blues, jazz and Mexican corridos to prog-rock and Brazilian psychedelia, the coming spring concert season promises treat for almost any musical taste.
True, some of the most promising shows are already sold-out, including those by Merle Haggard, Alt-J, The Mavericks and Pierce The Veil. And only a handful of unsold tickets remain for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' April 16 Balboa Theatre concert, which falls between Cave and company's performances two performances at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival.
But that still leaves a tempting array of musical options, beginning with...
The Scorpions and The Wolves are getting back together, at last!
More specifically, San Diego's Los Alacranes and two key members of East L.A.'s Los Lobos — David Hidalgo and Louie Perez — are reuniting for two free April 28 concerts here. Their joint performances, open to all ages, are part of the second and concluding day of the 2013 Adams Avenue Unplugged festival, which will feature a wealth of local and national talent.
For fans of Los Alacranes and Los Lobos, it's a rare opportunity to hear the members of the two groups share a stage again. In the mid-1970s, both bands helped introduce a new generation of rock-oriented listeners to vibrant Mexican folkloric music traditions.
Los Lobos' first San Diego shows were under the auspices of Los Alacranes. The mutual admiration society between the two has held steady ever since, and rare is a Los Lobos concert here that doesn't include a shout-out from the stage to Los Alacranes leader Chunky Sanchez and the vibrant quartet he has tirelessly led for 38 years.
"One of the greatest things about (Los Alacranes) is they never lost sight of their beliefs, their culture, their family, the whole cause of Chicano people and the struggle of what was once a Chicano movement," Los Lobos guitarist-singer Cesar Rosas said in a 1998 U-T San Diego interview. "I give them a lot of credit."
Since its inception in 1975, the socially conscious Los Alacranes has provided the musical heart and soul for much of San Diego's Mexican-American community and beyond. Hidalgo and Perez are flying in directly from a Los Lobos concert in Texas. Their guest appearance with Los Alacranes — Dos Los! — should be memorable, if not at least a bit historic.

Where Are They Now?

Status update: Sold!
Jason Shah has received a great deal of press for his company, I Need a Pencil, a free online SAT prep program. From CNN to People magazine, INeedAPencil.com now has a sleeker website and has gained more than 12,000 new students and handfuls of partner organizations since last year. Now, he's found a buyer. "I am still completing the paperwork and transition," he says "but with graduation [from Harvard University] on the horizon, I have found a larger organization to acquire and grow INeedAPencil.com from this year forward." Shah plans to move to Silicon Valley, where he'll be launching a new tech start-up he says is "focused on making businesses more productive and the average employee much happier."
Status update: Moving on.
Since last year, Jessica Mah and Andy Su both graduated college, moving on from their Coolest College Start-up, InternshipIN. These days, the duo is working full-time with six employees, who are also their friends from college, on inDinero. "It really feels like we're just working on a big class project with each other," Mah says. The team recently moved into a new office five minutes away from the house that Mah shares with three of her employees. InDinero's customer base has grown from 6,000 to more than 10,000 and is set to launch its second version of the product in July. By the end of the year, Mah wants to double her number of customers.
Status update: Growing fast.
A lot has changed for Brent Skoda, founder of CollegeFitness.com. In addition to developing partnerships with colleges such as University of Oklahoma, University of Oregon, and the University of Utah, Skoda has expanded his business in a major way. He won first place in the 2010 Global Student Entrepreneurs of the Year competition. But that's not all. "We developed the world's largest database of restaurant menu nutrition," he says. "It's pretty much changed our life." Skoda has been working his new business, Yumee, for four years. His parent company, Ahkeo, has 15 employees and last year's revenue of about $3.5 million. "I'd like to get to $10 million in revenue…maybe even $15 million," Skoda says.
Status update: Seeking new relationships.
The business life is good for Brian Laoruangroch, CEO and founder of Green Mobile. "Since [Inc.com's] article, we were contacted by many readers to open one of our stores," he says. Green Mobile now has three franchise locations and Laorangroch is looking to expand. "I have spent the last two years converting our business model into a franchise that I will be able to grow like McDonalds, Subway, and Cartridge World," he says. Two more franchises are on schedule to open this summer and Laoruangroch hopes to open 10 more across the Midwest by the end of the year.
Status update: Hitting refresh.
Whitney Williams is all about change. Her jewelry collection, Tramonti, is now known as The Whitney Williams Collection. "I have re-structured my business model and now design and make pieces for two of my collections but I am also acting as a buyer, selling jewelry on my site that I get from market," she says. Williams graduated from Texas Christian University in December and is currently working at a start-up public relations firm called Reverse Gravity Marketing while continuing to manage her jewelry collection.
Status update: in a new relationship.
Although the men of GXStudios have split up their old venture, that doesn't mean they've stopped creating. Two of the partners, Matthew Brimer and Brad Hargreaves, have recently launched a new company called General Assembly, an urban campus in New York City for technology, design, and entrepreneurship. Brimer and Hargreaves, along with co-founders Adam Pritzker and Jake Schwartz, received a $200,000 grant from the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
Status update: It's complicated.
A lot has changed for Chris Varenhorst and Justin Cannon, co-founders of Lingt Classroom, an online tool for teaching foreign language. Varenhorst says that "growth has been slow but pretty steady over its two-year life span. It's currently used by [about] 1,500 students and teachers every day." Recently the company announced that its gaming platform has been acquired by Dictionary.com, which will reconstruct the technology into a flashcard product. Varenhorst, who's currently pursuing a masters in computer science at MIT, is running Lingt Classoom, the rebranded product of Lingt Lanuage.
Status update: Hitting refresh. Caroline Rooney's The Bearon is still set on spreading the love. After celebrating her company's third anniversary, Rooney is focused on expanding and reconstructing her T-shirt line. "I want [The Bearon] to become a fashion and lifestyle company," she says, which is why she decided to reconstruct her website, grow her blog and launch her new jewelry line, Shine.
Status update: Comfy.
Ryan Dickerson, founder of the Rylaxer, the bed-transforming pillow, reached his goals for 2010. Not only has he continued to sell his product and expanded into the college market but also he's preparing to introduce a few more products. "We have started partnering with a couple student storage and move-in services," he says. "We are also unveiling a new product in a month or two called the Quarterback…a more refined, smaller, and more efficient product designed for one user." Dickerson decided to stay at Syracuse University to pursue a master's degree in entrepreneurship. "Since we have been doing so well, the school has offered four of us free tuition to stay and grow the business," he says. —Gabrielle Blue

Runners know the miles they log on the pavement, trails, and the treadmill are great for keeping them fit and healthy. High on the list of the sport's many virtues? It is an amazing tool for weight control. But weight loss is a different story. Because you run, you may think you can eat whatever you want and still drop pounds. Unfortunately, that's not true. Running is only half of the equation. You have to look hard at what and how you eat, too.
Leslie Bonci, M.P.H., R.D., pinpoints eight crucial nutrition rules of weight loss in Run Your Butt Off!, a new Runner's World book for beginning runners who are coming to the sport to lose weight. (The book also includes a sensible beginner's training plan and tips for runners of all abilities from Runner's World coach Budd Coates, M.S.) Bonci's advice can help any runner who wants to lose weight—whether it's five pounds or 25. She'll show you how to track your food intake, space meals to ward off hunger, and honestly reckon with the calories you consume in a day (brace yourself). These methods were tested by real runners who overhauled their eating habits and shed dozens of pounds over 12 weeks. And if they can do it, so can you.
Writing down everything you eat may sound tedious, but it pays off: Studies have shown that people who log their food intake regularly keep more weight off than those who don't take notes. Bonci recommends recording everything you eat for at least one week (and then doing so again every few weeks after that), making sure to include important details, such as when, where, why, and how much you eat. "Reviewing these details will help you glean important information about your habits," says Bonci, "and highlight ways you can make healthier choices."
Make It Work
"My clients have different systems for keeping a food log," says Bonci. A notebook will do the trick, as will an Excel sheet, or storing details in your iPhone. Bonci suggests recording whether or not you're hungry when you eat and grading the day from 1 to 5 ("1" is a day with unhealthy food, and "5" is a superhealthy day). "This can be a reality check," says Bonci, "like, I'm not doing so badly after all, or My diet is worse than I thought."
To get an idea of what your log might reveal, review the entries below from test panelist DORENE HELTON. She recorded the first at the program's outset and the second after making changes that added up to a 20-pound weight loss in 12 weeks.
7:30 a.m., In front of computer
• Bowl of Special K with 1% milk (173 calories)
• 2 cups of coffee with 1/4 cup 1% milk (31)
11:45, Kitchen table
• Tuna sandwich with mayo, relish, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices wheat bread (470)
• 1 glass 1% milk (105)
2:30 p.m., In car
• Starbucks medium caramel latte with whipped cream (420)
3:30, Kitchen table
• 1/2 apple and water (47)
7:00, Kitchen table
• 8-ounce steak, 1/2 cup mushrooms, 6 asparagus spears (452)
• 6 strawberries (23)
• 1 glass 1% milk (105)
9:00, In front of TV
• 5 crackers (88)
Total: 1,914 calories
Helton used to get a caffeine fix from sugary drinks. Now she has coffee for a fraction of the calories.
Helton realized she was mindlessly eating (and taking in unnecessary calories) watching the tube.
7:30 a.m., Kitchen table
• Kashi Go Lean Crunch with blueberries (200)
• Cup of coffee with fat-free milk (14)
10:00, Kitchen table
• Medium coffee with fat-free milk (28)
12:30 p.m., Kitchen table
• Turkey sandwich with 2 oz turkey, thin layer of mayo, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices whole-wheat bread (380)
• 4 celery sticks, 4 cherry tomatoes (21)
• 1 banana (105)
4:15, Kitchen table
• Balance Bar and apple (295)
8:45, Kitchen table
• 6-inch Subway sweet onion chicken teriyaki sandwich with lettuce, onion, and sweet peppers (380)
• 1 cup fat-free milk (91)
Total: 1,514 calories
Helton adds antioxidant-rich blueberries to her filling, high-fiber cereal.
On days she doesn't get home until late, she has a high-protein afternoon snack so she doesn't overeat at dinner.
Get out a cereal bowl. Fill it as you normally would with your favorite brand. Read the label to find out the serving size and the calories per serving. Look at what's in your bowl. Is it more than a serving? Less? Chances are it's more than you think. Pour it into a measuring cup to find out.
"We measure with our eyes," says Bonci, "and our eyes are terrible judges of portions." Case in point: A study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found people serve themselves up to 53 percent more ice cream when simply given a larger scooper and bowl. And since research shows people eat about 92 percent of whatever is in front of them, it pays to know what an appropriate serving should look like. The only way to know that is to measure what you're eating.
Make It Work
While it may seem like a hassle at first, measuring out food can quickly become part of your daily routine. And after a few weeks of practice, you'll begin to train your eyes and brain to recognize what a serving should look like without having to actually measure. But first, you need the right tools to get started.
Leave a set of measuring cups and spoons on your kitchen counter so you remember to use them.
Put a collapsible measuring cup in your favorite breakfast cereal so it's easy to measure during your morning rush.
Read the label on snack foods, and divide cookies, crackers, pretzels, and chips into individual servings. Store each in an airtight bag or container.
Read the label on block cheese to find out how many servings are in the package, then score the cheese appropriately.
Protein is essential for a healthy body; it builds muscle and preserves lean body mass. Every day, runners need at least a half gram of protein per pound of weight. For a 150-pound person, that's 75 grams. Protein also plays a key role in weight loss, says Bonci. It takes longer to digest, so you feel fuller longer, and it helps keep blood-sugar levels steady, so you don't get ravenously hungry and feel the need to overeat.
But it's not just how much protein you consume, but when you consume it that's important: Studies show you should spread your protein intake throughout the day, eating some at each meal. "Doing so is better for bone health, muscle mass, and satiety—feeling full," Bonci says. "It's more beneficial than eating very little protein during the day, then at night sitting down to a huge piece of meat."
Make It Work
Even if you add protein to every meal, it can still be hard to meet your daily needs. Bonci suggests getting more by adding it to your snacks. "Many snack foods are high in simple carbohydrates that digest quickly and are low in protein," says Bonci, "so they don't keep you full for long." These weight-loss friendly options offer a dose of protein to satisfy your hunger.
• Smoothie with low-fat chocolate milk and whey protein isolate (27 g protein)
• 5.3-ounce container of fat-free Greek yogurt (15 g protein)
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese with vegetables to dip (14 g protein)
• 1/4 cup roasted soy nuts (13 g protein)
• 1/2 cup edamame (11 g protein)
• 1 cup Raisin Bran cereal and 1/2 cup skim milk (9 g protein)
• 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on a banana (9 g protein)
• 2 slices reduced-fat cheese with an apple (7 g protein)
Eat red, yellow, orange, green, or purple food—and Bonci doesn't mean red wine and Lucky Charms. She's talking about packing your diet with fruits and vegetables. They're low-calorie and loaded with vitamins and minerals your body needs to function, keep your immune system up, and maintain strong bones and muscles. They're also rich in fiber, which is key for slimming down. Tufts University researchers have found that people who eat high-fiber diets are less hungry and lose more weight than people who eat less fiber. "It takes longer to process fiber," says Bonci, "so you're full longer."
Make It Work
"Many people have good intentions and buy a bunch of fresh produce," says Bonci. "Then they forget to use it, and find it later rotting in the bottom of their fridge." While fresh is great, it's not the only way to work in fruits and vegetables.
"Frozen, canned, dried, jarred—those are all fine, too," says Bonci, who suggests filling at least one-third of your plate with vegetables. Use these ideas to color every meal, and you'll be on the path toward good health and weight loss.
• Add a sliced banana to cereal.
• Add frozen, defrosted berries to yogurt.
• Have a glass of tomato juice.
• Add jarred salsa to scrambled eggs.
• Top a waffle with canned peaches.
• Put extra vegetables like cucumber or shredded carrots on sandwiches.
• Use hummus or refried beans as a spread, instead of mayo or mustard.
• Have raw vegetables in place of chips or pretzels.
• Blend frozen fruit with seltzer for a peppy drink.
• Grill vegetable kebabs as well as meat.
• Add dried apricots or golden raisins to rice pilaf.
• Roast vegetables on the weekend and add to salads all week.
• Add frozen vegetables or canned white beans to spaghetti sauce.

Eight Breast Cancer Symptoms: When To Worry
Sep 27, 2012 (updated Dec 16, 2014)
1 of 11
1 of 11
Not all breast cancer symptoms are cause for alarm. Learn which symptoms demand immediate attention and which are probably no cause for alarm.
2 of 11
Breast lump
You're in the shower and feel a lump in your breast. First step: Don't panic! Most abnormalities that are felt in the breast are totally benign (i.e. a cycst) and have many causes. If you are pre-menopausal, wait through a menstrual cycle to see if the lump is hormone-related. If not, it's best to call the doctor right away to have it checked.
3 of 11
Armpit lump
A lump in the armpit is almost always a swollen lymph node. However, since the armpit is quite close to the breast so treat an armpit lump the same as you would a lump in your breast. If you're pre-menopausal, wait a menstrual cycle and see if it goes away. If your post-menopausal, see a doctor right away.
4 of 11
Breast rash
In very rare cases, a rash on the breast may indicate Inflammatory breast cancer, a very serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. In most cases, however, a rash is nothing more than a skin problem of some kind, especially if it's on both breasts. Consider any recent changes in shower gell or laundry detergent before you worry.
5 of 11
Breast itchiness
If you experience an itchy breast and it feels like a surface itch, it is probably some kind of skin irritation. If it is a more internal itch that you cannot scratch it may be caused by nerve issues or hormones related to your menstrual cycle. If the itching persists, see a doctor as it could be due to mastitis or inflammatory breast cancer.
6 of 11
Nipple discharge
Hormonal changes may cause a discharge from one or both nipples. If you notice the discharge when you squeeze your nipples; and if it's milky, light green or light yellow, it is most likely hormonal. If the discharge is only in one nipple and happens without squeezing your nipple; and if it's sticky and clear or brown/red, then get it checked by a doctor.
7 of 11
Nipple pain, redness, scaliness, oozing
If both nipples are irritated, you probably have a skin condition, such as eczema. If the symptoms are in just one nipple, it could be a very rare type of breast cancer called Paget's Disease of the Breast. Get your condition checked and do not allow your doctor to dismiss the possibility if your "eczema" does not respond to treatment, and ask for further tests to rule out cancer.
8 of 11
Breast pain
General breast pain is very rarely related to breast cancer. Breast pain will come and go throughout the course of a menstrual cycle as hormones change. Breast size may also change and is no cause for alarm. If the pain is steady or comes and goes without any pattern, it should be checked by a doctor, especially if accompanied by obvious breast changes, redness, rash and itching.
9 of 11
Vibrating or tingling breast
One of the more perplexing sensations women feel is a vibrating or tingling in their breast. Some women describe it as feeling like the vibrate mode on a cell phone, while others describe it as the sensation of an arm or leg going to sleep. The good news is, that sensation is almost never associated with breast cancer.
10 of 11
Still worried?
When you see a change in your breast, it can be difficult to separate normal concern for your health from unwarranted panic about cancer. Remember, your risk of getting breast cancer is very low. Breast cancer fear is real, but can be broken down and dealt with. Get to know your breasts and understand the changes you might see. Knowledge is power.

This review is from White Sticker Project Paper 3383:
I use the sticker project paper for a variety of projects. I've used it for large mailing labels, sticky name tags, shape stickers, accents for scrapbooking, miscellaneous odd shaped labels, file cabinet drawer contents, to label tool drawers in my shop, miniature labels for my model railroading buildings and signs, etc. It is a versatile product with many uses. The paper takes color well. It works much like Avery #8255.
This review is from White Sticker Paper 53202:
My family calls me the Craft Queen as I am always working at something. I use the White Sticker Paper for everything! I stamp on it and apply it to home-made cards, I let the grandkids decorate it and we make magnets, I use whole sheets for placing on the front of file folders to inventory what is inside and many, many other things. One box goes a long way!
This review is from Magnet Sheets 3270:
The magnets are excellent for labeling a lot of things. I use them in a warehouse to label locations and product. Very easy!
This review is from White Sticker Paper 53202:
I love these! Simply scan in your child's original artwork and you can make stickers. Simply resize the artwork to use on cards, gift tags, bookmarks, postcards, envelopes, thank you cards and so much more.
This review is from Magnet Sheets 3270:
I wanted to make coffee airpot labels that we could update with the date and the time the coffee was brewed. The solutions online were expensive and unattractive. So I created my own design in Microsoft Publisher and printed it on these Avery 3270 Magnet Sheets and laminated the front with Avery 73601 Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets. I bought some China marking pencils (used to be called grease pencils) to write the date and time on the labels. The labels look great, and are easy to update (just wipe off the old date and time with a paper towel).

By Debbie Emery – Radar Reporter
Terminally ill, tethered to breathing tubes and paralyzed from the neck down, Manhattan bank manager Grace Sung Eun Lee has finally gotten her one wish granted.
"I want to die," struggled out the 28-year-old, who is at the center of a moral and legal battle between her devoutly religious parents who believe suicide would condemn her to hell and doctors trying to fulfill her request, reported the New York Daily News.
After the emotional stand-off that pitched religious beliefs of Korean Christian church against the right to die, a judge on Friday ruled that Lee can pass on peacefully and have her life support machine turned off.
As her lawyers battled in court over recent months, the subject of their wrangling who had moved from Seoul as an eighth-grader could barely blink her eyes after being diagnosed with brain cancer last fall.

Before then she was a vibrant, successful, professional working as a financial manager at Bank of America and training to run the New York City Marathon, when a month before the race she was struck down by a deadly tumor that doctors found in her brain stem.
Radiation and chemotherapy helped her regain her strength but then she took a downturn and in September suffered a seizure and was put on a ventilator with a breathing tube – given months or even weeks to live.
Thus began the tug of war between her parents, who wanted her to be sent to a nursing home and their daughter desperate to die.

Judge Thomas Phelan finally decided that Lee is competent to make her own decisions despite being on several medications, including morphine for pain and Ativan for anxiety. "My heart goes out to the family," Phelan said in court.
"I feel your sorrow, I feel your pain, and I wish certainly that your daughter will recover and should recover, although that is unlikely… I need to vacate the temporary restraining order and let the things move through their other natural course and put Miss Lee in the hands of God."
The Lees appealed right away, and the Appellate Division reinstated the temporary restraining order. The tubes will remain in place until a panel of judges weighs in.
"We earned some extra days," said her mother, Jin-ah Lee, 58. "Some extra time."
Terry Lynam, a spokesman for North Shore-LIJ Hospital Systems, said the hospital couldn't comment on the case, citing patient confidentiality.
But he added, "In all end-of-life cases, we abide by the patient's wishes."

technically we did agree on a deal but you didn't wanna pull the trigger until the deadline, a.k.a seeing what else you could get for those two players.
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
technically we did agree on a deal but you didn't wanna pull the trigger until the deadline, a.k.a seeing what else you could get for those two players.
CP3 needs to come back quickly for the league's sake.....there's pretty much nothing for us to do except make trades and take potshots at each other.
e-beef is delicious and less dangerous than the crap the FDA approves.
Honestly, most leagues are way worse than this, as long as Nolaslim isn't here this league will hopefully remain enjoyable for everyone
My apologies here is the NBA example that makes this trade legal
But here's the thing... if Walsh can acquire a 2012 first-round pick, he re-gains the option of including his 2011 or 2013 picks in a deal. Many thought the 2011 wouldn't be an option because the Knicks had no first-rounder in 2010, but the Stepien Rule doesn't apply to drafts that have already occurred.
And that's the loophole.
Well I guess you've learned the consequence of intruding someone's trade thread
You'll never trade baron now and he probably hates you because i've leaked the trade negotiations. MWAHAHHAHA
Ceballos and Vladmir have death threats on my life for essentially giving them away or scraps... THEY ARE STILL AVAILABLE! (assuming my trade falls through)
I can't believe I missed all of this action!! I had to work out, y'all should've waited till I got back lol
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
Yeah, oh. Political Rap. Yo yo. Demon apathy, yo zappity.
I think it's a fair loophole. IMO if a team is dumb enough to trade away all their 1st rounders then they should be free to do so.

If ABC cancels The River (which they almost surely will), it seems that the TV series might still have a chance for a second season.
Netflix and ABC Studios (which co-produces The River) have had early discussions about possibly producing some TV shows for Netflix and their streaming service. The River apparently came up as a contender as part of those discussions.
Once known only for their DVD rental by mail services, Netflix has been offering streaming services for more than five years and TV shows have become very popular with subscribers. We often hear from readers who've only recently discovered serial TV series like The Event, FlashForward and The Gates; shows that were broadcast and cancelled more than a year ago.
Netflix has made a deal to produce a fourth season of cult-favorite Arrested Development some six years after it was cancelled by FOX. The company has recently discussed the possibility of producing a second season of another canned FOX show, Terra Nova.
While The River has amassed a devoted following, the ratings for the ABC series have been poor almost from the start. It premiered on ABC with a mediocre 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 8.35 million total viewers. Those numbers quickly dwindled downward and the season (likely seres) finale came in at a 1.4 in the demo with 3.99 million.
Deadline sites that The River picks up a healthy percentage of viewers from DVR viewing but that's essentially true of any show. If a show has relatively low viewership, picking up 36% (3.99 million to 5.43 million) still doesn't amount to much by network standards.
Could that size of an audience be enough for Netflix to justify the cost of producing a second season of The River? We'll have to wait and see but at least there's a bit more hope for fans than there was before.
What do you think? Is there a realistic chance that Netflix or someone else will save The River? Is it worth being saved?

(Managua, Granada)
Experience Nicaragua and visit two of the most vivid cities. See Nicaragua's history come to life while exploring Managua and Granada with the help of private tours. Managua has plenty to offer. From galleries, promenades and boat tours on Lake Nicaragua to extraordinary culinary experiences. Managua enjoys an array of local and international cuisine. For example a popular 'fast food' known as "quesillo" it consists of cheese wrapped in a corn tortilla with cream, onions, and salt. Nacatamales, the Nicaraguan version of the tamale, is a local delicacy. Steak preparation is one of the strong points of the local cuisine. It is often accompanied by a special sauce known as Chimichurri, composed of oil, garlic and herbs. After your visit in Managua you will transfer to Granada. Granada was established in 1524 and has a rich colonial heritage. While in Granada, be sure to admire the unique architecture, or better yet, do so while taking in a tour of the city by a horse drawn carriage. Conclude your tour with some time relaxing in Nicaragua Lake. Jicaro is the best place to find the perfect combination of relaxation and exploration. After a day of adventure in one of our signature tours, you might want to indulge in a special massage in one of our open air treatment rooms in our wellness center. By consultation, our therapist will determine the best combination of techniques according to your requirements or awaken the senses and let serenity and tranquility inspire you. Sign up for a yoga session on the floating deck and experience something extraordinary. In the end of the trip you will return safely to Managua for your departure flight.
Upon your arrival you will be met by a local representative who will help you locate your vehicle.
Enjoy a private airport transfer with private vehicle and English speaking driver.
Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua means, "Where the water extends" in the Nahuatl language. The rise of the lake dates back to prehistoric times. Evidence of early civilizations includes the "Footprints of Acahualinca"—dated back more than 10,000 years. We begin our city tour here. After a visit to the Plaza de la Republica and the National Palace, we visit the old cathedral (almost totally destroyed by the Earthquake of 1972.) We continue to a "mirador" (or overlook) near what was once the central city. Here we see the bunker of Somoza, now marked by a statue of A.C. Sandino—arguably the most famous person in Nicaraguan history. From this vantage, we enjoy a magnificent view of the capital and the impressive Lake Managua. Later, we visit the new cathedral and the Ruben Dario fountain. Lunch will be at an excellent restaurant featuring typical Nicaraguan foods. In the afternoon, we visit the Roberto Huembes Market and will see and be able to select from an extensive variety of local art and objects. Here guests will be able to engage in the time-honoured custom of bargaining prices. We return to the hotel and prepare for an evening of relaxation.
Depart on an early flight from Managua to Corn Island. Upon arrival, you will tour around the island by open-air jeep. On the white sand beach, enjoy palm trees resting beside crystal turquoise coloured water. After a lunch (included) of lobster and other local delicious plates, there are excellent opportunities for snorkelling, diving, fishing, water bikes, and horse riding. Return to Managua on an afternoon flight. The tour is ideal for all ages.
You will be picked up and transferred to Marina Cocibolca (Granada) by private vehicle/driver. From here you will take a boat (shared) to the Jicaro Island Lodge.
Although secluded on an island we want to give our guests a memorable culinary experience. All of your meals and non-alcoholic beverages are included. Breakfast and lunch are served a la carte and dinner is a choice of fresh daily specials created by our chef. Jicaro has an open kitchen right next to the restaurant, so it is a real treat to watch the chef prepare your dinner. The menu has plenty of options and prides itself on the selection of fresh fish from the lake and nearby ocean, local vegetables and fruit, and locally farmed chicken and beef. We believe that when you have fresh, tasty ingredients you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary.
Jicaro is a place where you can find the perfect combination of relaxation and exploration. After a day of lounging in your private hammock or indulging in a rejuvenating massage in our wellness center, you might want to adventure out on one of our signature tours. Our tours offer varied activities ranging from easy to challenging, and are all accompanied by a private guide who will teach you about local flora and fauna, as well as Nicaraguan history, culture and day-to-day living. Bird watching, Tropical Forest & Hot Springs, Kayaking, Hiking, Fishing and more!
Tours listed above will be at an additional cost
Jicaro is the ideal location for people who want to reconnect with themselves and leave their hectic lives behind for a few days. Besides Yoga sessions and a variety of massage and wellness treatments, a visitor to the island will be enticed by the fresh and healthy local cuisine, the warmth of the local staff and the authenticity of the overall experience. Our Yoga deck looks out over the lake and towards the Mombacho volcano; it is a spot that inspires serenity and tranquility. Yoga classes are available for guests on a daily basis. The wellness center is located right on the lake and offers two spectacular open air treatment rooms with private showers. Massages range from Swedish to Shiatsu to Hot Stone treatments and are available on a daily basis for our guests. Additional cost will apply to yoga and wellness services.
You will transfer by boat (shared) to the Marina Cocibolca (Granada) from there you will be met and transferred by private vehicle and driver to Managua.
Enjoy an urban oasis at this award-winning, luxury hotel in Managua. The Intercontinental Metrocentro is ideally placed in the centre of the entertainment and business district, adjacent to the country's largest shopping mall featuring more than 120 stores. Indulge yourself at Factory Streak & Lobster, enjoy a trendy ambience at NAU lounge bar or unwind in the tranquil surrounding at the terrace next to the pool and exotic gardens. Explore the city; visit Managua's famous Cathedral and its historic downtown area.
Jicaro Island Ecolodge is Nicaragua's top nature eco resort, located on a private island in the Granada Isletas of Lake Nicaragua. One of Nicaragua's best hotels, the ecolodge is located just a short boat ride from the colonial town of Granada with spectacular views of the Mombacho Volcano across the lake. Immerse yourself in a magical island experience filled with peace and tranquility. At Jicaro ecolodge hotel you stay in your own luxury two storey house, a 'casita', raised up above the ground like a treehouse. The nine casitas on the island all have lake views and are only a short walk from the pool, restaurant, and wellness center. You can relax in the private space of your casita with its views of Lake Nicaragua or join other guests in the communal areas.

"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.

"I would highly recommend this company for overseas travel. We had personal drivers that spoke perfect English and were also very knowledgeable in conversation pertaining to their country. Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"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.

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.

No man is an island, but Larry Ellison comes close.
Last year, Ellison bought 98 percent of Lanai for more than $500 million. Despite a wispy beard and penchant for black outfits that make him look like a devil, he's mostly being hailed as a white knight by an island still struggling to find its post-pineapple identity.
Ellison wants to double down on the previous owners' bet that luxury tourism can be an economic driver on the 141-square-mile island.
Good for him, though I'm probably not the kind of visitor he is courting for his future luxury playground.
Ellison wants to upgrade the two existing Four Seasons resorts, build an upscale eco-bungalow "Club Lanai" retreat on the east side of the island, improve the airport and harbor and upgrade roads and waterworks. As part of his go-green development, solar will become a big part of the mix on the island. It's all a shot of adrenaline for the island of just over 3,000 residents who have had to muddle along with previous owner David Murdock's unrealized dreams of turning the island into a top retreat for rich visitors.
While Ellison is aiming at that same market, his ventures in wind and solar are ways to save and make money. While the effect may be more jobs and services for Lanai's residents, Ellison is not running a charity. The plan is to make the island more valuable and add a little coin to Ellison's already bulging $41 billion portfolio. A rising tide lifts all boats, including Ellison's 288-foot yacht Musashi, which shares its name with the largest Japanese battleship of World War II.
I favor a different side of Lanai. I stay at the old Hotel Lanai, far from the beaches and spas and golf courses. I drive around in a battered, red, dirt-stained rented Jeep instead of taking one of the fleet of white minibuses that shuttle people from shop to beach to restaurant to town. My favorite spots on Lanai are down rutted unpaved roads that rattle the kidneys and jangle the nerves. I seek the spots where cellphone service drops.
If you want to truly enjoy Lanai, kick up gravel on a wild ride out to the Garden of the Gods, passing through the tunnel of trees that is caked with dust, forming a monochromatic tube to speed through. The "garden," is a stark treeless landscape of red stone smoothed by eons of wind and rain. It feels as if you are traveling through a slot canyon on the surface of Mars.
But that isn't the end of the road. It gets steeper and bumpier descending to Polihua Beach, where a sign warns you of wasps, then loose sand. Avoiding both, I park and walk out onto a beach with only two pairs of footprints, which disappear off toward the horizon. The sand is warm and soft, the sky a cloudless blue. I want to take a swim, but the lack of anyone around gives me the feeling that the slightest leg cramp would have me swept off to sea, with nary a trace. Just when it feels as if I am the only soul, the growl of a four-wheeled ATV comes up the beach. Civilization's noisier creations do exist, even here. But there is plenty of beach for both of us and he roars off to find his own alone spot.
The other great trip on Lanai is to Shipwreck Beach, just beyond a winding road to the north side of the island. There's a World War II-era cargo ship made of concrete beached on a sandbar. The plan after World War II was to sink the unwanted tub, creating an underwater reef. But the ship didn't want to go down and wandered across the channel until coming to rest.
It's a different kind of backdrop to a day at the beach than you get in Southern California. There are a few more curiosity seekers than at Polihua Beach, but it's just a handful on hundreds of yards of beach, with Maui rising green and cloud-topped across the channel.
Doubling back, I head to Keomoku Village, the old fishing town that was the center of island life before Mr. Dole and his pineapples came and all the people – including eventually the pastor — headed upcountry for jobs and services. The 109-year-old Ka Lanakila Church, once a bustling house of worship, is being restored – for a second time. The first time, the work stalled because of a lack of hands and money, and the boards rotted out. This time, with the help of a grant, the work is nearing completion. Special services are being held, though it is a long drive for anyone coming over from Lanai City.

"The truth shall set you free."
1 Corinthians 13
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
"One man's trash is another man's TREASURE!"
Still Breathing...
I want the man who nevah said, "I love you"...but I nevah felt more loved than when I was with Him. It was in His kiss...for me.For Him...The kiss was just a kiss. The sigh was just a sigh. We smiled...only for a little while. But oh goddddddd! We danced! And He took my breath away!!! There are no words to describe ...what it was like...with us.There nevah were.But I WILL tell you this. He made me feel...Truly beautiful...and I would do it all again...for just ONE kiss...from His lips.It's His kiss...I miss. I can't breathe without Him.
Even now...to this day...this very moment in time...
I would have rather been a crystal glass held tenderly and caressingly in His hand...
His eyes gazing intently and lovingly upon my many facets...admiring the brilliance of His fire reflecting off me...feel the softness of His smiling lips sipping the sweetest nectar from me...and then...when He's savored His fill...be dashed against the fireplace, shattered and scattered into a thousand glorious pieces...left shimmering in the dying flames...
than I would to have been...a diamond solitaire.........anywhere.~Breathe~

I would like to dedicate the song below to my parents...still in love...together in God...and forever in my heart. Not even death could part them.
You Touched It ...You were shopping today, you said . . . when you came across something with angels on it and I crossed your mind.
You almost bought it for me, but you didn't want to think about me, so instead . . . you passed it by and pushed the thought away.
I told you, jokingly, an almost thought didn't count and... next time to go with it!
But don't you know, my Angel . . .?
The fact that you thought of me today means more than any gift you could ever give me.
And yet . . . even the smallest token of that thought would be treasured always, only because...
You touched it. ~Breathe~ Copyright ©2003
