Family turns vacation into musical history lesson
Dan Bates / The Herald
The title Calvin's brothers and sisters gave him for playing "Che'" in the History of Washington video was "Star."

Trinity, a soft-spoken sixth-grader liked the sound of her title, which was director of sound.

The Klomparens family is back home in Arlington after a working vacation, of sorts, that included driving 2,000 miles around the state, tent camping every night and making a video about Washington state history. Pictured, from left front, are Caleb, 17, Sophie, 15, and Charity, 4. From left back is their dad, Joe, Trinity, 11, Calvin, 13, Christian, 8, their mom, Amy, and Ransom, 10.

Caleb, 17, produced the movie, although he gave his dad, Joe, the title of executive producer, he said, because that's the person who must come up with the financing to make the movie.
The nine-member Klomparens family made a music video about Washington state history.
The video has been up on YouTube for less than two weeks and already has nearly 600 views. It's all original material, based on a book by a Western Washington University history professor.
In August, the Klomparens family loaded up "Moby," their white, commercial-sized van, and headed out from their home northeast of town for a two-week, 2,000-mile camping trip around the state, filming on location at such places as Grand Coulee Dam, Olympia and Cape Flattery on the coast.
The lyrics of the hard-driving rock chorus of the video's song are, "Listen, and I will bring you up to date on the long, proud history of Washington state. The story doesn't take too long to tell, but it's a high school requirement, so listen well."
The video and all the research behind it fulfills the state history requirement for high school graduation for the three oldest Klomparens kids, composer and singer Caleb, 17, lyricist and director Sophie, 15, and actor Calvin, 13. While Trinity, 11, can't count her work on the video for graduation, she is proud of her job as the sound director.
"It was a great project," she said.
All the Klomparenses, a wholesome bunch that includes Ransom, 10, Christian, 8, and Charity, 4, are educated at home, taught by their parents, Amy, 40, and Joe, 41.
In his day job, Joe Klomparens teaches Latin in the International School of Communications at Marysville Getchell High School. He and Amy also teach classes at the Damascus Road Church home-school cooperative in Marysville.
The music video isn't the first such project by the family. The endearingly nerdy group loves musical theater and has produced a variety of plays, a parody of the "Wizard of Oz" and others based on Shakespeare and Greek mythology. They even have an online blog called History for Ninnies.
The state history music video includes all the major events in the Evergreen state's past, narrated in song.
Before they set out on their journey, Caleb and Sophie had to write and record the song. It was a time-consuming effort that included a lot of reading. When Sophie's rhyming lyrics were ready, Caleb set them to music, using an Apple computer program. They put it on a disc, planned out the storyboard and set out with their camera, an iPod Touch, their tents and, for the drive, a nine-disc recorded book, Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
It got to the point where, with teamwork, the family could set up a campsite in about 10 minutes, leaving plenty of time during the day for filming.
They rolled through Eastern Washington, filming at the Stevens County Historical Museum, Fort Spokane, Palouse Falls, Walla Walla, the Whitman Mission and Hanford.
"There was one time we drove by a giant fry pan in front of a restaurant," Sophie said. "And Dad yelled out, 'Do we have any need for a shot of a frying pan?' Other times we would get to a museum or a visitors center and stay until they had to kick us out."
Fort Vancouver, Mount St. Helens, Ilwaco, Satsop, the state capitol, the state history museum in Tacoma, Pioneer Square in Seattle, Whidbey Island and the Hibulb Cultural Center at Tulalip. Lots of stops and a blur of camera footage.
Calvin, the 13-year-old, is the narrator of the story.
In the video, he wears a costume similar to the one worn by Antonio Banderas' Che Guevara in "Evita": a puffy white shirt, dress pants, a vest and a neckerchief. The whole outfit was much too warm for the 100-degree temperatures of Eastern Washington.
"I wanted to take my shirt off or film everything in the shade," Calvin said. "I just hung in there."
Calvin lipsyncs to Caleb's vocal on the recorded track.
"Most of the time, I just sang along out loud," Calvin said. "We all have the song memorized."
When they arrived home, Caleb sat down and numbered all 126 video takes. It took about 10 days to rerecord a couple of spots, edit all the material down, synch it all up and render a final version, he said.
"We added the credits later and Sophie and Mom made a 'making of' video," Caleb said. "We're pretty proud of it and, most of all, I get to graduate."
Sophie said she knows full well that being home-schooled lends itself to unusual opportunities, such as the making of the music video.
"I feel bad for all the public school kids who have to just plod through a chapter book," she said.
Was it worth the vacation time?
"I don't think I would want to live on the east side," Sophie said. "But Washington is a great state."

Springbok kicking coach Louis Koen thinks pressure and fatigue could be the primary reasons for Morne Steyn's goal-kicking struggles, but said he will recover and he could play a pivotal role on the year-end tour.
Steyn has battled this year but was backed by Heyneke Meyer on the basis of his match-winning ability with the boot. However, he crashed in Dunedin with the All Blacks on the ropes, missing a string of kicks that would have altered the result.
Koen was lost for an absolute explanation on Steyn's form, but speculated that he was feeling the heat.
'It is difficult to pin-point the exact reasons. We've been logging every single kick in training since before the England series, and for example, Morne has kicked around 620 kicks from all over the field since then and averaged about 88%, by far the best of the kickers,' Koen said.
'Technique-wise we've done a lot of analysis and I haven't changed anything. So when it comes down to performance in a match, it is probably due to pressure and expectation. However, outside of the 2010 Tri-Nations, Morne has never achieved above an 80% success rate in any series he has been involved in. There's a perception that he achieves 95% every time he is involved. The expectations were high and the pressure built on him. It became a question of handling pressure and he found that tough.
'Also, a guy like Dave Alred (widely regarded as the world's best kicking coach) believes the kicking game is as much mental as it is technical, so fatigue could be an issue. In Morne's case he has played a lot of rugby in the last three years. [Fatigue] certainly could have been a factor.'
The Springboks' coaching staff have, however, consistently stressed that Steyn's Test career is far from over. Koen echoed that sentiment, suggesting that he may be re-installed at flyhalf sooner than some expect.
'I believe with my whole heart that he'll be back,' he said. 'He needs to regain his confidence in the Currie Cup. He still has a lot to offer South African rugby. If you look ahead at the year-end tour to Europe, where a more tactical approach is needed, I can't speak for the coach but he can be very effective in that environment.'
The Springboks' goal-kicking woes have extended to their other kickers as well, with Frans Steyn, Ruan Pienaar and Johan Goosen, who kicked at 86% in Super Rugby but missed with two from two attempts at Loftus, all failing to consistently hit the mark. Steyn and Goosen have, admittedly, tried a number of long-range pots, while Goosen also battled severe bruising on his planting foot at the weekend. Koen says Pienaar is likely to take the kicks against the Blacks at Soccer City.
He is also confident their success in this facet of play will improve over time.
'[The goal-kicking] has been more disappointing than worrying,' he said. 'But it gives me confidence that a guy like Peter Grant, whom I've been working with since 2005 at the Stormers, was consistently one of the best in Super Rugby. It says I'm on the right track, but it is a process. It will take time to establish a relationship of trust. I want to get to the place where if one of our goal-kickers is struggling, I'll be able to make immediate changes. I'm not there yet.'

Rocky Mountain Bicycles are only sold out of our Corona,CA retail store (2410 Wardlow Road, Suite 109, Corona, CA, 92880). This item cannot be purchased online or at our Riverside, CA location. If you are interested in a Rocky Mountain, please contact our Corona Store team at (951) 736-0700.
Rocky Mountain is a semi- custom bike manufacturer, that is based (and builds bikes) out of Vancouver, British Columbia. Since they are not pumping out hundreds of thousands of bikes a year, they are able to take their time and ensure that every Rocky Mountain is the best it can be. The original version of the Element was released in 1996. Due to the great design, it has remained relatively unchanged. New to the Element lineup is the Element 930 29". This 29" full suspension crosscountry bike will guide you through the trails easily.
Rocky Mountain designed the Element 930 around the frame. The frame is FORM custom hydroformed alloy with ABC pivots, tapered head tube, and a press fit BB30. Rocky Mountain added in style as well. Rocky Mountain has perfected internally routed cabling by adding in a special plug under the bottom bracket which allows for easier cable installation. The RockShox Recon TK Gold Solo Air 100mm fork up front and the RockShox Monarch RL rear shock make up the smooth riding suspension on the Element 930. The shock paired with the straight up geometry allows for maximum pedal efficiency while being plush enough to absorb bigger hits. The 142mm rear drop out keeps the back of your bike stiff when you're riding hard.
The Rocky Mountain Element 930 utilizes Shimano components to make up the drivetrain, which consists of Shimano Deore shifters and the XT rear derailleur. Braking power is provided by the Shimano M505 brake set, paired with 180mm rotors. The Inferno rims and Shimano Deore hubs are able to take a beating of whatever technical rock section you put them up against.

Bernaceteen Beauchamp Edwards
Bernaceteen Beauchamp Edwards, age 72, passed away Sunday, Jan. 15, 2012, at her home near Maben.
She was born April 17, 1939, in Attala County to Ruby Lee Adams and Walter Mitchell Beauchamp. Mrs. Edwards was a Nursing Home Aide and a member of Maben Church of God. Bernaceteen Beauchamp Edwards married Bobby Henry Edwards Feb. 6, 1955, in West Point.
MADDEN -The drought continued for the Oak Hill Raiders Saturday afternoon as they dropped their fourth game in a row, falling to Leake Academy 63-56 in overtime.
Leake outscored the Raiders, who had two players foul out in the extra period 10-3.
AJ Jones led the team in scoring with 28-points and had a chance to snap the skid with eight seconds left in the ball game, only converting on one of two from the line.
ABERDEEN - West Point had four players finish in double figures Saturday, and despite a tough effort the second time around, Aberdeen still came out on top, 86-83.
ŌĆ£We did a lot of things very well,ŌĆØ head coach Brad Cox said.
The Green Wave (8-12, 1-1) were solid at the line, shooting 23-of-28 and had only 14 turnovers which Cox said was remarkable for a high school game considering Aberdeen was pressing on almost every possession.

The Oak Hill Raiders have dropped four in a row after their 63-56 overtime loss to Leake on Saturday in District 2AA play. The Lady Raiders were handed their first loss in the district, falling to the Lady Rebels 52-44. The girls dropped to 5-1 in the district.
West Point lost in a heartbreaker to Aberdeen, 86-82 in the final of the aberdeen tournament.
Oak Hill once showed why defense is their bread and butter. They can shoot pretty good too.
Friday night, the Lady Raiders had one of their best defensive performances of the season with a 62-19 win over Canton. The victory moves them to 18-5 on the year, but more importantly 5-0 in MAIS District 2AA.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve tried to convince this bunch that thatŌĆÖs our identity,ŌĆØ head coach Stan Hughey said. ŌĆ£Our ability to guard people.ŌĆØ
In the two games prior, especially against Marshall, the girls were able to shut down the opponents top offensive weapon.
ABERDEEN - West PointŌĆÖs recent success has come from a lot of factors, but head coach Brad Cox points to his defense.
The Green Wave picked up their third win in four games Thursday, 85-62 over West Oktibbeha.
ŌĆ£Our defense has been getting better over the last few games,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Just the effort and intensity has been better and the guys are buying into that. TheyŌĆÖre starting to see when you play defense well, we can get things in transition and open some things up.ŌĆØ
Hebron continued to move up the district tables on Friday with a 44-23 win over Winona.
The victory, their fourth in a row, moved them to 4-1 in the standings, second to only Kemper.
The Lady Eagles, 15-7, jumped out to a 15-2 lead after the first quarter, really keeping the Stars on their heels offensively.
Winona clamped down in the second quarter, forcing several turnovers with a 3-2 half court trap and scored nine points. They still trailed by double digits at the half, 23-11.
Looking to stay in the hunt for a first place position in the district, Oak Hill needed to defeat Canton, time simply ran out.
AJ Jones drove to the lane with seconds remaining to cut the lead to two, but time ran out before head coach Brian Middleton could call a time-out as Canton Academy held on for a 62-60 win.
It was the third consecutive loss for Oak Hill since their season long seven game winning streak in December.
In a second half that had 12 lead changes, Canton took the lead, 53-51 with less than four minutes left to play and held on for the rough ride.

I traded a 2010 Hyundai Sonata for my 2013 F-150 XLT 5.0 and I am amazed by the smooth ride, power, and the solid feeling. It is used as a daily driver and has been used on several road trips. I am very impressed so far
Traded in nmy 2010 for a 2013, so many new features just love ride and size of interior. More then I expected in new truck.To many up dates to list. Very smooth ride. 16.8 combined city and highwy MPG.
Test drove Tundra, Chevy and Ford today. I've had a 2500 HD for 7 years now and was in the market for a new truck. I was flat out speechless when I drove the Ford XLT 6 cy Eco Boost. Salesman let me drive it home...about 20 miles one-way to show the wife. When I got back to the Ford dealership I had registered 24 mpg over the 40 miles of mostly highway, but some stop and go traffic. Between the incentives and discounts, great mileage and handling and great looks of the truck I'm a Ford believer.

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time(Unknown - Jan 30, 2007)
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin
List price: $15.00
Number of Pages: 349
Anyone who despairs of the individual's power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan's treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson's quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.
Greg Mortenson was born Dec. 27, 1957 to Lutheran missionary parents in St. Cloud, Minnesota (USA). Through the leadership of the Lutheran Church, Mortenson's father was a fundraiser for and development director of the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center, Tanzania's first teaching hospital. Mortenson's mother was the founding principal of International School Moshi. Greg spent his early childhood and adolescence in Tanzania, East Africa, where he learned to speak Swahili fluently. In the early 1970s, when Greg was 15 years old, the family left Tanzania and moved back to Minnesota. Greg attended high school in Roseville, Minnesota, and after high school served in the United States Army in Germany from 1975 to 1977 as a Medic and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. Following his discharge, Greg attended Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota from 1977 to 1979 on an athletic (football) scholarship. Greg graduated from the Univ. of South Dakota in 1993 with a Bachelor's Degree in liberal studies and an associate's degree in nursing. Greg is co-founder and executive director of the non-profit Central Asia Institute as well as the founder of the educational charity Pennies for Peace. He is co-author of Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace...One School at a Time which remained on the New York Times non-fiction best seller list for four years. He also is author of Stones into Schools: Promoting Peace with Books, Not Bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Wow. What terrible news. First Muldraugh and now OCP. That's a big hit to us. How long has that park been in the ground? Looking at my calendar I won't be able to play it again before it closes.
Jeremy, have you talked to anyone about pulling the baskets? There could be some positives with them: Fund raisers, new course, etc. What terrible, terrible news.
Jason Van Over
that is gay if people still want to go in the park they should be able to. enter at own risk
Is this closed forever or temporarily? I can't tell.
that's the worst news I've heard today. SUCKS

Somebody needs to "SMACK" the "MAYOR 4 LIFE". If he wouldn't have spent zillions on the waterfront the city wouldn't be making budget cuts like this.
This is total crap and I honestly can't see how he can do this.
I hope this is only a temp thing. Sucks pretty bad if it's not. I havn't played OCP in a very long time and I won't get to before it closes. I had been talking to a buddy about camping there when the weather gets better but now it's not going to happen. He got me back into this sport and has never thrown there. He was interested but prob won't get to make it out there either. I hope none of the others get shut down. If OCP is gone for good I hope we are able to pull the baskets like Jason mentioned. Any idea how Metro Parks picked what was going to close?

From talking to Jack West today it's a done deal. The only hope is that someone buys it. The course will remain in the ground for now but they're going to gate the entrance so no one can go in.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
That's awful to hear. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it down there for one last round. This could lead the club into getting a new course or something in the future since the city knows that they took away one of original courses in Kentucky.
All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.
I backhand as a hobby, I putt to pay the bills.
yep, from what I understand, it was the FIRST course put in the state of kentucky. But I could be wrong. Sad to see it go

Norway is a constitutional monarchy in Northern Europe that occupies the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The majority of the country shares a border to the east with Sweden; its northernmost region is bordered by Finland to the south and Russia to the east.

Piano superstar Hiromi's powerful Trio Project returns to the SFJAZZ Center following their triumphant run of sold-out shows last season. An utterly original improviser and composer, the Japanese-born pianist creates kinetic soundscapes in which through-composed passages segue seamlessly into open-ended improvisation. What's most impressive isn't her commanding technique. It's her cohesive group approach in which no instrument is confined to its traditional role. She introduced this hi-octane ensemble on 2011's Voice and its 2013 follow-up, Move, featuring electric bass master Anthony Jackson and British drummer Simon Phillips, whose gaudy resume includes stints with Brian Eno, Jeff Beck, Stanley Clarke, and The Who. "I want to treat the three instruments as three pieces of an orchestra, and extend the sound," says Hiromi, 34. She worked with Jackson on her first two albums and had long thought about bringing him into the studio again. After playing several shows as a trio, she knew Phillips was the right man for her latest power trio. "He has an amazing understanding of all kinds of music, the same as Anthony, and that's what I was looking for." Without doubt, these shows will be some of the most exciting of Season 2.

Then it's time to replace it with a new one!

The tack cloth grabs whatever it touches. Using this cloth is a great way to fully clean an object before making a cast of it.

New Online PR Master's Program Launches SuccessfullyPosted Jan. 14, 2011
JMC launched its first fully online public relations master's degree program Jan. 10, 2011. The program is one of just a few of its kind in the world.
The online master's degree with a concentration in public relations is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in communication ranging from managerial situations in agencies, to corporate director or other strategic public relations or marketing communications positions. The program found success identifying, reaching and attracting its target demographics.
"We realized that busy professionals need options for gaining the advanced education that will make them more successful," said Bob Batchelor, Ph.D., JMC assistant professor and program director. "We designed the online program to help students maximize their potential, regardless of location. What prospective students will find as they investigate the program is a deep commitment to providing students with meaningful, intellectually rigorous learning opportunities delivered by world-class faculty members."
Journalists and social media professionals will find the program offerings valuable as they re-qualify themselves with advanced study in public relations specialty areas, management, crisis communications, branding, internal communications and strategic campaigns.
"The response to our initial marketing efforts has been very encouraging," said Gene Sasso, JMC PR online program coordinator and faculty member. "The initial cohort is populated with extremely well-qualified public relations, marketing and other communications professionals."
Whether transitioning into public relations careers from other communications roles, or building on current expertise in journalism or marketing, Kent State's online graduate degree offers the flexibility, convenience and learning community needed to reach personal ambitions and professional goals including:
• Increased career satisfaction, income and opportunity for promotion
• Making significant and meaningful contributions to the success of current organizations or future positions
• Developing skills required to transition to new communication roles, including social media, marketing and advertising

Drills buying guide
The drill is the most popular and versatile of all power tools and has become an essential in every DIY tool kit. Not only useful for drilling holes into a variety of materials, they can also be used to drive home screws (with the correct bit attached).
Consider whether you will be looking for a drill with a 'hammer' action - Not only can these drills rotate a drill bit, but they can also apply a 'hammering' action. Switch to hammer (or impact) mode, and the drill bit is vibrated and shunted forwards rapidly as it turns. This makes for quick work, especially through harder wall surfaces or materials. Fit a specialist chisel bit, and you can use your hammer drill for 'chasing' - making a channel in walls to hide wires and cables.
This guide will help you to choose the right drill for your needs - and explain the function of some of the most popular accessories.

Jake White will give Jake Boer a chance to show he can dance on the biggest stage when the Springboks play the World XV in Johannesburg.
But Boer, South African born and consistently one of Gloucester's stars for the last five years, won't be playing for the Springboks. He will be in the World XV team.
White explained the selection to Keo.co.za: "His is a name I hear a lot of. Players speak highly of him. Coaches applaud his efforts, but all I have to go on is his Premiership form. There is no doubt he is a quality loose-forward, but is he as good or better than what I have got. Would he make the side ahead of Schalk Burger, Juan Smith, AJ Venter, Joe van Niekerk, Pedrie Wannenburg, Solly Tyibilika … Wikus van Heerden. I can't give you that answer. The best way is to compare apples with apples and put him against these guys and the World XV game gives me that opportunity.
"I was called to find out whether I had any specific player I wanted to be involved in the World XV and I said I wanted Jake Boer to play against us. It will be an opportunity for him to push for greater recognition when it comes to determining the make-up of the World Cup squad, which will be played in northern hemisphere conditions. It is a chance for him and not a guarantee of anything. But as I have said all along I will explore every avenue to get the right squad for France 2007."
Boer was initially a target of Rudolf Straeuli prior to the 2003 World Cup but negotiations fell through without Straeuli and Boer ever meeting.
White also confirmed he would consider Breyton Paulse for the 2006 international season.
"I believe he will be signing for Western Province again in June and he will be a part of our plans. He has test experience I won't overlook and he's always produced for me. He will feature in the squad, but again it is not a guarantee that he will start."

Andrew Stephenson became a regular in the Class 3-A state tournament as a doubles participant. So it was difficult for him to bow out Friday morning at Burlington Tennis Center.
"I was glad I could make it my senior year," Stephenson said. "We had a tough road to get here."
Stephenson and Ben Lowe, a senior classmate, couldn't maintain their mid-match momentum in the first round, falling 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 to Hickory's Luke Kessel and Bailey Poston.
In singles, Western Alamance sophomore Drew Pittard also was a victim of a drastic momentum shift, losing to Paul Hogan of Hibriten by 1-6, 6-3, 6-1 in the first round.
Lowe returned to the tennis courts as a senior and made it to the last event on the boys' tennis schedule, so for that he was thankful for the opportunity.
"I really had no idea (I could make it this far), I wasn't the greatest tennis player to start with," Lowe said.
At times at the start tournament, the Stephenson / Lowe combination appeared formidable. The duo strung together an impressive string that catapulted them to a 2-0 lead in the third set before fading.
"When you get to this level, everybody you play is going to be good," first-year Williams coach Rob Wooten said. "You show (the other team) a little daylight and that can come back and hurt you."
Stephenson and Lowe were aware of how to dig out of a jam because the tandem did so a week earlier in order to reach the Mideast Regional semifinals and qualify for a berth in the states.
"It's a team that fights well and fights back," Wooten said, before noting that the states result wasn't indicative of the doubles team's overall season. Stephenson and Lowe finished 13-4.
Once the Bulldogs got rolling against the Hickory entry, they looked invincible.
"We were moving really well, playing well at the net and making them make errors," said Stephenson. who reached the second round in doubles the previous two years. "We got nervous and just tightened up."
The final point created more misery for the Williams pair, with a return from the Bulldogs striking the net cord and falling on the Hickory side only to be returned by quick reaction that led to the clinching point.
Lowe's appearance in the states would be categorized as unlikely. He was on the Williams tennis team as a freshman, but didn't crack the varsity lineup. Then he concentrated on another sport because he was on his way to being a soccer standout for the Bulldogs.
Lowe played club soccer the past couple of springs. This year, he held the Bulldogs' No. 2 spot in the singles lineup.
"After my senior year (of soccer), I didn't feel any need to play club soccer anymore, so I decided to play tennis again," he said, pointing out a close friendship with Stephenson. "It was great to be able to play with him and to be able to go out after school and hang out with these guys."
On the singles side, Pittard said he's hoping his first state-tournament appearance will springboard him to more success in future years. He said it was a good foundation despite an undesirable result.
Hogan, the West Region champion, was too strong once he fell into a groove. The efficiency that he developed in the second set carried through the third set.
"He started playing better in the second and third sets," Pittard said. "His serve is strong."
Pittard defeated Hogan in a third-set tiebreaker in last summer's Olde Forest Junior Open in their previous meeting.
The two-day event concludes today with semifinals and finals.

Midwest Living Review
You're almost guaranteed to have a good time shopping for a friend at Tangerine, a colorful, whimsical shop brimming with quirky gifts. Better yet, bring a friend along. Then you can share the fun as you snicker at the silly merchandise: dental floss that tastes like cake frosting, sunglasses that would do Elton John proud, "Happy Gum for Your Crappy Life," and pens that say things like "Nudist Camp" and "Center for Sex Addiction" so no one will swipe them from you. Prices may not be a bargain, but where else are you going to find things like squirrel underpants? (Don't ask.) It's probably not coincidence that Tangerine Is just a few blocks from Mayo Clinic. If laughter is indeed the best medicine, there couldn't be a better spot to stop for a get-well gift.

Chiropractic adjustments are performed to relieve pain and improve your overall function, the Mayo Clinic states.
The adjustments involve a chiropractor moving a joint past its typical range of motion, but not too far as to cause damage to the joint, according to the Mayo Clinic.
During an adjustment, you might hear cracking and popping as the chiropractor works on the joint.
You and your chiropractor will set up a treatment to discuss how often you will need adjustments.

Some cars exemplify luxury; some stand for fuel efficiency and perhaps no vehicle is tied more closely to budget-watching fuel economy than the Honda Civic. The new Civic was introduced last week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and early reviews are strong, noting that Honda has made a series of cosmetic updates to the interior and exterior... Dan Gearino from the Columbus Dispatch says the car has a less choppy ride and less road noise too. The vehicle is getting positive reviews for a quick turnaround redesign that Honda launched after the 2012 model, despite strong sales, was deemed less than impressive by most auto experts. Perhaps the greatest criticism of the 2012 model, Gearino says, is that its interior felt cheap...

Women's Lacrosse
Women's Lacrosse Coaching Staff
Kerstin Kimel
Head Coach
The only head coach in Duke women's lacrosse history, Kerstin Kimel has led the program from its inception in 1996, molding the Blue Devils into one of the nation's elite teams.
In Kimel's 19 seasons at the helm of Duke women's lacrosse, she has guided the Blue Devils to six national semifinals, four ACC regular season titles, an ACC Tournament Championship and 17 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances - the third longest current streak in the nation.
A five-time ACC Coach of the Year, Kimel has overseen 55 All-America selections, 69 all-region honorees and 59 All-ACC picks. Six of her former players have competed on the U.S. National Team, representing the United States at the 2009 and 2013 World Cups. The Blue Devils have achieved equal success in the classroom during Kimel's tenure, collecting 19 Academic All-America accolades since 1997.
Kimel registered her 200th career victory March 16, 2011 in a win over Virginia Tech. She is one of just 12 active Division I coaches with 200 or more wins.
Duke enjoyed another successful season under Kimel's direction in 2014, compiling an 11-8 ledger to go along with the program's 10th straight trip to the NCAA quarterfinals. The Blue Devils had two or more players earn All-America honors for the 16th consecutive year as defender Taylor Virden was selected to the first team and Kerrin Maurer earned a spot on the second team after pacing the attack in points, goals and assists. An All-South Region and All-ACC first team selection, Virden concluded her career at Duke ranked second all-time in draw controls, and was joined on the all-conference teams by Maurer, Maddy Morrissey and Taylor Trimble.
The Blue Devils recorded 14 or more wins four times from 2009 to 2013, advancing to the national quarterfinals on four occasions and the semifinals in 2011. Under Kimel's watch, Duke produced 11 All-American selections during that time, while Emma Hamm (2011) and Carolyn Davis (2009) were named finalists for the Tewaaraton Trophy. Led by Davis and Caroline Cryer, the 2009 squad rewrote the program's offensive record book, totaling team highs in goals scored (313), assists (150) and points (463). In 2013, Kelsey Duryea became the first goalkeeper in program history to receive All-America recognition as a rookie, rounding out the season ranked top-10 nationally in save percentage and saves per game.
From 2004 to 2008, Duke put together one of the most successful stretches in program history, advancing to four consecutive national semifinals from 2005 to 2008 and earning at least a share of four-straight ACC regular season titles from 2004 to 2007. During that span, the Blue Devils placed 21 players on both All-America and all-region lists, in addition to posting three Tewaaraton finalists. Kimel led Duke to a 13-8 overall record and the Blue Devils' fourth-straight NCAA semifinal appearance in 2008, earning womenslax.com Coach of the Year honors for her efforts.
Led by Tewaaraton Trophy recipient and two-time ACC Player of the Year Katie Chrest, the 2005 and 2006 Duke squads combined for a 35-7 overall record, including a program-best 18 victories in 2006, a 7-2 mark in the ACC and two conference regular season titles. After seven consecutive NCAA Tournaments bids, the 2005 installment earned a trip to the national semifinals for the second time in program history to ignite Duke's string of four straight appearances.
From 2000 to 2002, the Blue Devils advanced to three consecutive NCAA Tournament quarterfinals, and in 2001, made the program's first ACC Championship game. However, success did not always come easy, as Duke's 12th women's varsity program began its inaugural season in 1996 with four-straight losses before earning the Devils' first win -- a 10-6 victory over UMBC on March 18, 1996. The Blue Devils would finish the season at 3-12, marking the first and only year Duke women's lacrosse has posted a losing record. Duke began its rapid ascension the following season, recording an 8-8 mark before breaking through in 1998 with the program's first NCAA Tournament bid. The 1999 season took Duke to new heights as the Blue Devils achieved the program's first trip to the NCAA semifinals.
Kimel's Early Years
Prior to her arrival at Duke, Kimel was the head coach at Davidson College, leading the newly-created Wildcats program to a 4-8 record in 1994 as one of the nation's youngest head coaches in her first and only season at Davidson.
Kimel was no stranger to NCAA Division I women's lacrosse before her time at Davidson, having played at the University of Maryland from 1990-93. During her career, she led the Terrapins to four consecutive national semifinal appearances and the 1992 NCAA National Championship. The Havertown, Pa., native was a two-time All-America selection and the 1993 NCAA National Defensive Player of the Year, appearing in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd." Kimel graduated from Maryland in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in speech communications.
Prior to her collegiate career, Kimel was a standout at Haverford High School, earning first team All-Central League, All-Delaware County and USWLA All-America honors. Her numerous accomplishments have landed her in both the Haverford Hall of Fame and the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame - Delaware County.
Kimel has also been a prominent figure on the international level as a member of the U.S. Elite Team from 1992-96 and as an alternate for the U.S. national team that captured a gold medal at the 1993 World Cup.

Ever encountered bedbugs? Most know that one DIY method to get rid of the pesky critters is to use heat, such as putting clothes and garments in a dryer on high heat.
Well, one man found out the hard way that there are certain ways to NOT use heat to kill bedbugs.
According to Newsday, a man set his rental car on fire and was burned after he tried to kill bedbugs that were inside with alcohol. Scott Kemery, of Bridgehampton, was outside a supermarket in Eastport, New York when he poured alcohol in the car and lit a cigarette. The car caught ablaze and the heat caused damage to two nearby cars, as well.
Kemery was able to escape the car but not without injury. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital with first- and second-degree burns.
If you prefer to get rid of any bedbugs in safe and controlled manner, try the ThermalStrike Ranger, which is designed to prevent the spread of bedbugs by surrounding luggage or items such as a backpack, with heat on all sides to destroy all stages of bedbugs.
For a demonstration on how to use the Ranger, check out this video.

Nearly a month has passed since the sale of beer and light wine became legal in New Albany.
So, what has happened during that time? Not a whole lot, according to police and city officials.
Well, literally thousands and thousands of cases of beer have been sold in grocery and convenience stores and the city expects to see a significant increase in sales tax when the April numbers come in about mid June.
That was money that New was going to other counties before voters approved beer and light wine sales in New Albany.
And Monday, Union Station restaurant became the first local eatery to offer beer or light wine with its menu. It all happened without fanfare.
The Pizza Pit expects to do the same when it opens its New Albany location in the next several days. The pizza place moved from the West Union area to take advantage of New Albany's new beer-and-light wine sales ordinance.
But life goes on pretty much as normal as it did before. Predictions of rampant public drunkenness, driving while intoxicated and increased domestic violence have not come to pass. We never thought they would.
Someone did spread a false rumor that we had more than a hundred drunk driving arrests the first weekend, a report that was so ludicrous that it's difficult for us to believe anyone would have taken it seriously.
According to city officials, the only difference that anyone has noticed is there are fewer beer cans littering our roads.
New Albany is making progress and making our businesses and restaurants more successful is part of that progress.
Voters demonstrated good business savvy with the approval of beer and light wine sales.
And our city officials and businesses have implemented it in a reasonable way.

6712 West Pines Road
Mt. Morris, IL 61054
Today the park provides
the perfect recipe for family getaways. There are plenty of outdoor recreation
activities, such as hiking, fishing, camping and picnicking. With lots
of serene, picturesque beauty, and modern lodge facilities amidst a beautiful
forest, there is no better way to retreat from the everyday routine than
to re-discover yourself and your family among the open spaces at White
the meandering banks of Spring and Pine creeks, this scenic haven has
magnificent trees that share moss-covered cliffs, strung with trailing
vines. In season, colorful beds of blossoming trout lily, solomons seal,
bloodroot, blue-eyed grass, spring beauty and hepatica are everywhere.
Small mammals, including
squirrels, raccoons and chipmunks, thrive in the luxuriant undergrowth,
and the spreading branches above are filled with pine thrush, warblers
and, in winter, flocks of migratory northern birds.
Among the parks
most interesting features are the concrete fords that span the creeks,
allowing the visitor, quite literally, to drive through the flowing streams. Also, a newly added benefit for those physically challenged are four concrete sidewalks leading up to the stream bank for viewing or angling.
White Pines Forest
lies in the heart of Black Hawk Indian country and is rich in historic
accounts of the warriors who resisted the efforts of settlers to drive
them from the beloved Rock River valley. Eventually, however, the Black
Hawk War forced them out and Warrior Black Hawk himself was sent into exile
in the custody of his rival, Keokuk.
When early settlers
arrived, they found this 700-acre forest of untouched pine extending for
1/4 mile along the east bank of Pine Creek.
With a view to preserving
one of Illinois last stands of native white pines and one of the southernmost
stands of white pines in the United States, a movement was started in the
early part of the 20th Century to set the area aside as a state park.
Through efforts of Ogle County nature lovers, a bill appropriating $30,000
for purchase of land was passed by the legislature in 1903, but the measure
was vetoed. In 1927, however, they had more success, and the forest was
A perfect place for
a family outing, there are several shaded picnic areas along Pine Creek
with water, fireplaces, tables and childrens playgrounds. Of the
four shelters in these areas, two can be reserved on-line starting July 7th, 2010 using the ReserveAmerica website, and two are first-come,
first-served. Reservations will no longer be taken through the park office.
Looking to spend a night under the stars? White Pines has 103 class B/S campsites with vehicular access and a shower/flush toilet building. There are 3 electric hook-up sites which are non-reservable. There are also sites available for the physically challenged. Soft ground conditions may sometimes close campgrounds during the months of March and April. Call ahead during those times to check the status. Campsites may be reserved by visiting the ReserveAmerica website. Availability is generally not a problem aside from holiday weekends.There is an alcohol ban in the campground all year around. Camping rates are $10 a night per site. Limitations on a site are 4 adults or 1 family per site, 2 tents per site and 2 vehicles per site. Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table.
There are also youth group campgrounds available. Reservations will no longer be accepted through the park office, but are available using the ReserveAmerica website. While pets are allowed in the park you're required to have proof of current rabies vaccination with you, keep the pet leashed at all times and not to be left unattended. Excessive barking will not be allowed. It is required that firewood be purchased locally as most counties to our east fall into the quarantine areas for the non transportation of firewood outside your county due to the Emerald Ash Borer. For more information visit www.illinoisEAB.com. All laws and regulations are strictly enforced.
Whether you choose
an easy walking trail or a more difficult path, three of the seven marked
trails are less than a mile long and provide ample opportunity to see
the beautiful vine-covered limestone bluffs, blossoming spring flowers
and whispering pines. The trails have color-coded markers to aid the hiker
in orienteering. A nature trail with a limestone-screened path is accessible
for the physically challenged.
Archery deer and firearm deer hunting are allowed in season as part of the site's deer reduction program. Hunting is allowed on 300 acres. Refer to the hunter fact sheet for specific information.
When snow covers the
ground, be sure to bring your skis, as the White Pines trails are ideal
for cross-country skiing. Two trails are specially marked for cross-country skiing totaling 4.5 miles of trails when weather permits.

[1] The episodes can begin anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes (or more) after contact with water and typically lasts 10 to 120 minutes (average: 40 minutes).[2] The cause of aquagenic pruritus is unknown; however, familial cases have been described.[1][2] Although the condition occurs more commonly in middle-aged and elderly males, aquagenic pruritus has also been observed in women and children. The symptoms of the condition are similar to those seen in patients with other conditions; therefore, a thorough evaluation should be performed to rule out other more serious conditions. Overall, treatment for aquagenic pruritus has been disappointing.[1]Aquagenic pruritus is a condition in which contact with water of any temperature causes intense itching without any visible skin changes.
