This elegant brand new (2009) rental villa was designed with tropical living in mind to create an ambiance that makes you feel at one with nature. The pool enters into the open, garden-like living area. Only the bedrooms have doors and windows.
Casa Manana is unique, eclectically decorated with imported antique furnishings from Bali, Thailand, China, Tibet and Africa. One-of-a-kind art pieces and furniture were designed especially for Casa Manana by a French artist/designer who lives locally.
KITCHEN: Is fully equipped with a 19-cubic-foot refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, large sink w/garbage disposal. Microwave, toaster oven, toaster, Cuisinart blender/food processor, mini-chopper, coffee maker, rice cooker, hand mixer, pots, pans, bowls, all cooking utensils, everything you'll need for gourmet cooking and for setting a beautiful table for fine dining. A gas BBQ for casual cookouts.
Joyce's house was absolutely fantastic in every way. As soon as we entered the house, we knew we couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay. Just being at the house you feel as if you are in the middle of the jungle- but with all the comforts of a 5 star hotel. Our favorite experience at the house was drinking our coffee in the morning and listening to the sounds of the birds and monkeys in the trees!
Joyce was a wonderful host and very helpful when planning our trip. She was very responsive with all questions I had and was there to greet us when we arrived. She had also stocked the house for us with a bottle of wine, fresh fruit, homemade banana bread, eggs, milk and some other goodies!
It was also helpful that Joyce has a daughter in the area that books great excursions. We signed up for a tour of Corcovado and a boat tour down the Sierpe River which were both wonderful. We had the most wonderful time at Joyce's and can't wait to come back someday!
La maison est encore plus belle que sur les photos, c'est un vrai petit bijou et un havre de paix au milieu de la végétation. Un grand merci à joyce la propriétaire pour sa gentillesse, sa générosité, qui a su tout mettre en œuvre pour nous faciliter le séjour. Malgré l'isolement, il n'y a aucun sentiment d'insécurité (c'était un peu ma crainte à priori), bien au contraire. La présence à proximité d'une employée (adorable) est très appréciable. Bref tout était parfait pour un séjour inoubliable.
We spent a long weekend in Casa Mañana and it was a beautiful experience. Being a Costarican and a nature lover this place was great for a living experience in the forest and yet close to grocery stores and most of the tours including the whale watching (this is one of the best places in the world to see them). Joyce the owner has her home beautifully decorated and she was there to welcome us and even had for us flower arrangements coffee, fruit, and beer. The house is very confortable with a pool that is integrated with the living room, terrace, and kitchen/bar. The bedrooms are big as well as the bathrooms Every thing was very nice. I fully recommend it.
We stayed 6 + our dog, the place is really near the national park Marino Ballena, and Uvita, which is great for going to lunch or dinner not far from the house.
The house is even better than in the photos; it is an open concept house, has really spacious rooms and bathrooms. The decoration of Casa Mañana is unique and wonderful.
The pool is one of the best features of the house; we went to the beach in the mornings and stayed at the pool in the afternoons and evenings.
The property is really dog friendly, we had a great vacation in Casa Mañana, and all the family enjoyed it and didn't want to leave.
The housekeeper is awesome, she welcomed us at the property, gave us nice suggestions on where to go nearby, and her daughter provided good information about the tours that were available.
The only bad thing is leaving the house, we had excellent vacations. We miss it already.
Casa Manana is absolutely like living in a dream! The property is full of gorgeous lush tropical plants and no matter which room you are in, the serenity envelopes you.
If you decide to connect back with the "real world," there's a TV and wifi, but honestly my boyfriend and I spent most of our time lounging in the pool!
The kitchen is fully equipped if you want to stay in and cook a 5 star meal or just whip up some snacks and margaritas to drink by the pool.
The owner Joyce is extremely helpful and friendly, and does everything she can to ensure your stay is fantastic.
Casa Manana is absolutely perfect and you'll honestly never want to leave!
We had 2 families, four adults and four teenagers stay in this villa and we really loved it. It is very conveniently located in Uvita which is a beautiful, quiet town with load of activities. We especially liked the bedroom configuration, which, because of trundle beds, was very flexible. The owner provided all linens, many of the kitchen condiments, as well as some treats for our arrival. Her daughter also was very helpful in recommending and assisting with booking our activities.
I would highly recommend Casa Manana, which has a beautiful pool and is surrounded by wonderful natural gardens and foliage.
The exotic colorful tropical gardens surrounding this property are an ongoing passion of mine. Palms, ferns, cordylines, crotons, gingers, torch gingers, shampoo gingers and many verities of ornamental. Including my prized collection of over 40 different heliconias.
Casa Manana is very secluded, surrounded by jungle but only ½ mile off the main highway. White face and howler monkeys frequent the property plus sloths, coatimundis, toucans, a variety of birds and whatever else happens by. And is a short distance from the beach.
Other Activities: Shelling, Wildlife viewing, boating, kayaking

I always have some batiste dry shampoo in stock though I rarely use it as my hair dousnt often tend to go greasy/dirty. However on the days when it does and there is no time to wash and blow dry then a spritz of batiste at the roots can freshen it up and will make the hair appear thicker at the roots and not dirty. Both hairdressers I've had have said this is the best dry shampoo out there which is why I purchased. I would not recommend for everyday use but occasionally on the roots only (can make ends quite frizzy if used on them) this is great in making lifeless looking hair last an extra day! Also, be warned if you spray it too close to the hair it will look white and will take a lot of rubbing in to get rid of!

I've tried a few dry shampoos before, but this is easily my favourite. It doesn't make my roots shiny (which would just defeat the purpose of dry shampoo IMO), and it makes my hair feel a lot cleaner in no time. I have only used the "blush" one before, but I have repurchased quite a few times. It smells amazing.
My natural colour worked well with this because it's an ashy light brown/dark blonde colour. I went red (cool toned, auburn) about a month ago and tried another product (which was completely colourless/clear), but it wasn't as good so I switched back to this one. I was hesitant because my hair is no longer ashy and it is much darker than before, but I managed to make this product work. I cannot get the red version of this product where I live, so I continue to use the "blush" (white) dry shampoo, and from what I've seen of the red one it's the completely wrong tone of red for my hair.
Tip: Spray it in your hair the night before. It'll settle into your hair better and absorb the oil well, and it won't make your hair have that grey/white tinge to it. And if I find my hair looks dull or ashy in the morning I just put some Moroccan-oil through the ends and it fixes the problem.

I really love this dry shampoo over the regular ones (drugstore). This one does not make my hair gray or static, it actually looks very natural and it has a really nice fragrance.

I got this in cool & crisp fresh. It smells very strong, but pleasant. For the life of me, I cannot comprehend this brand's cult following. No matter whether I use my fingers to muss my hair or brush it, the white chalky look never goes away, and I'm blond so I can't imagine how it works on darker hair. Useless.

This is my new Holy Grail. I didn't have to dump on a pound of this to make my hair feel just washed- only a little and it felt brand new! I can wear third day hair down now??
This is really incredible. I love the "Wild" scent & packaging.
My second-choice dry shampoo is Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo, and that one is nice as well and acts similarly. The big difference between Batiste and NYM's is that Batiste's really sucks up grease with just a little product whereas NYM's took a lot of product for the same result. Also I like the "Wild" scent a little bit better than the lysol scent of Not Your Mother's.

This is my second brand of dry shampoo I used and its awesome. Not only does it smells good but it gives my hair volume. The one I'm using is 'Blush', at first you may find the smell quite too much but throughout the day, it stays on and I've receive compliments about my hair after PE lessons at school.

Absolutely a HG dry shampoo! The store I went to had two verisons to choose from,original or floral scent. I chose the original, the floral was a bit too strong. This does take care of any oiliness and gives u great volume. The original scent is pleasant and not overwhelming. Best dry shampoo I've tried,definitely recommend.

This seems to be the only dry shampoo that actually works for me! I have pretty greasy hair, and some days I don't have time to re-wash and style (something comes up, etc) and this is a great option for me. The only reason I took one star off is because it's white, and I mean WHITE. I have (dyed) dark chocolate brown hair and wherever you spray, it's like a little dusting of white powder on your hair. This can make the hair look ashy, although I find that combing well and or using a cool blow dryer helps eliminate the remaining white colour. If I could find the dark coloured version, I would use it, but I'm not overly bummed out about the white at the end of the day. This stuff honestly makes my hair feel fresh all day, and the smell isn't too terrible in my opinion. Didn't aggravate my Seborrheic Dermatitis on my scalp either. Overall I really like this product, and it seems to be the best thing on the market for my hair right now.

Who's Sanctioning Whom?
Is the United States really upping the pressure on Iran, or just hurting itself?
- By Robin Mills<p> Robin M. Mills is a Dubai-based energy economist and consultant, columnist for The National, and author of The Myth of the Oil Crisis and Capturing Carbon. Follow him on Twitter @robinenergy. </p>
As the country that gave the world chess, it is only appropriate that Iran's current sanctions standoff with the United States resembles a game between two inept players. Tehran repeatedly makes bad moves; Washington plays better but has no path to checkmate.
Events this week gave encouragement that steadily tightening Western oil sanctions on Iran, imposed over its alleged nuclear weapons program, were having an effect.
Britain and France are working on a European Union-wide ban on importing oil from Iran, while an amendment to the 2012 U.S. defense authorization bill would try to close down transactions with Iran's Central Bank. China's leading refiner, Sinopec, halved its January purchases of Iranian crude on a dispute over credit terms, while Saudi supplies surged by a third. This is exactly the intention of the amendment: to narrow the circle of Iran's customers to China and a few others, giving them the ability to extract discounts and thus starving the Islamic Republic of revenue.
This follows the stunning effectiveness of sanctions on Syria, where oil exports have fallen almost to nothing, and Shell, Total and other Western operators have withdrawn. (Of course, this has not stopped the killing, and Syria is but a bit player in global oil markets.)
Iran's response was surprisingly panic-stricken. It's hardly as if the tightening of sanctions has come as a surprise — they have been in the works for months, and the Islamic Republic has lived under some kind of oil sanctions ever since its birth 30 years ago.
One sign of panic is Iran's escalating rhetoric about the energy reserves it shares with its neighbors. In November, Iran oil minister Rostam Ghassemi, a Sepah (Revolutionary Guards) commander, announced that development of the "shared fields" would be accelerated. Then, on Dec. 22, the spokesman for the majlis's energy committee, Emad Hosseini, said that Arab countries were cooperating to steal oil and gas from fields that cross into Iranian territory. He specifically accused Qatar, with whom Iran shares the world's largest gas field, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Iraq's coveted Block 9 on the Iranian frontier, to be auctioned in March, is another spot to watch, after Iran occupied a border oil well in 2009. The issue of the shared fields has surfaced episodically for years, but highlighting it now in inflammatory terms puts pressure on Iran's Arab neighbors.
On the same day as Hosseini's comments, a Revolutionary Guards admiral announced a war game in the Strait of Hormuz, through which some 40 percent of international oil trade passes. Blocking Hormuz is widely seen as a possible Iranian response to further sanctions or military attacks — but in practice the United States could probably quickly reopen the waterway, and would be supported by Europe, India, China and every other major oil importer. (It's also worth noting that virtually all of Iran's own exports go through the strait.)
On Dec. 20, semi-official news agency Mehr News announced that Iran had blocked imports from the UAE, with which it did $15 billion in trade in 2011, to punish it for supporting U.S. sanctions. The Iranian foreign minister quickly backed away from this suggestion, but the damage was done: The Iranian riyal plunged by 10 percent against the dollar as traders hurried to offload the currency, and has now lost half its value in the past few months.
The declining riyal is also part of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's policy to help fill the government's budget deficit ahead of parliamentary elections in 2012. This comes at the cost of worsening inflation, already boosted by the removal of fuel and electricity subsidies in late 2010 (officially 19 percent, but unofficial estimates put it as high as 28 percent).
Iran's own mismanagement of its economy and oil sector does it more damage than sanctions. It has oddly failed to use its massive energy resources strategically — by exporting gas to Gulf neighbors, by offering Europe a real alternative to Russian gas, or by making Chinese companies an offer they could not refuse to develop its oil fields.
Iran's economy is in bad shape, and the country has not been more isolated diplomatically since the early years of the revolution. But Washington should not congratulate itself just yet.
Oil sanctions are a bad idea if they work, and a bad idea if they fail. If they work, American allies will be punished and some economically vulnerable countries, such as Greece, will suffer a cutoff of oil just at the time they can least afford it.
Or, if they "succeed" more dramatically, and Iran's exports are really interrupted, oil prices will soar, plunging the world back into renewed recession. Tehran can also respond by sabotaging oil facilities in its Gulf neighbors and fomenting trouble via its proxies in Iraq's oil hub of Basra. An isolated Iran can afford to play such a dangerous game with the global economy.
But most likely, oil sanctions would fail, and a great deal of diplomatic capital will have been expended to no avail. Japan and South Korea, for instance, both rely on Iran for 10 percent of their crude imports, and waived oil sanctions. Turkey renewed its long-standing crude contract last Wednesday. And despite its incompetent response so far, Iran should be able to find ways round tightened oil sanctions — barter trade, for example, or smuggling via Iraq and Pakistan — with the assistance of ingenious sanctions-busters lured by lucrative deals. What it loses in discounts to China is largely made up by the higher prices these geopolitical tensions bring. The United States' last secret weapon — embargoing gasoline shipments to Iran — inspired Tehran to make its long-overdue subsidy reform and step up domestic refining capacity. In a way, the U.S. Congress did Iran a favor.
As for the shared fields — with production potential of 1.1 million barrels per day — these are largely to be developed by domestic Iranian companies linked to the Revolutionary Guards, enormously enriched by smuggling, corruption, and sanctions evasion. Meanwhile the middle class, historically the driver of democratization, is being decimated by inflation and economic malaise.
The geopolitics of the proposed sanctions make even less sense. In the United States' interminable confrontation with Iran, a country with 2 percent of its GDP and 1.5 percent of its military budget, it is handing gifts to two real rivals: China and Russia. China benefits, as noted, from discounts on its oil purchases. If the Central Bank sanctions work as intended, a China hooked on cheap Iranian oil is hardly going to work for any resolution to the standoff.
Meanwhile, Russia's Urals grade is, unusually, fetching higher prices than better-quality Brent oil as European refiners scramble for alternatives to Iran. And the Kremlin is glad to see the neutering of its greatest potential rival in the EU gas market.
The lengths to which the United States will go to shoot itself in the foot are sometimes astounding. Despite a supposed cooling of relations, U.S. officials visited Saudi Arabia to persuade it to overcome its reluctance to help bear the "costs" of sanctions, "costs" which for Riyadh amount to selling more oil at higher prices. The cost to the U.S. economy of expensive oil, quite plausibly half a trillion dollars, caused by decades of sanctions on investment in Iran, Iraq, and Libya is never mentioned.
Still unanswered is the rather important question of how the U.S. plans to turn any tactical gains from sanctions into strategic success — or, indeed, even to define what realistic "success" looks like.
Veterans of the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranian hard-liners have seen their country survive even tougher times than today, and emerge, in their view, with revolutionary fervor strengthened. For them to bow to sanctions by making significant concessions on the nuclear issue would be political suicide.
So, is Washington trying to delay Tehran's obtaining nuclear weapons for long enough for the situation to change in some undefined but favorable way? That would fit with the covert campaign of sabotage and assassination currently taking place. Does it hope that economic pressure will bring about the ascendancy of pragmatic conservatives such as former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani or Ahmadinejad opponent Ali Larijani? Or is it gambling on a total collapse of the regime?
Success thus requires a diplomatic finesse and an understanding of Iranian politics notably absent to date. To open up real fissures in the regime, the West needs to make an offer capable of acceptance — acknowledgement of Iran's legitimate interests, with removal of some sanctions as carrots for cooperation. Inevitably, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the hard-liners would regard such a deal, probably correctly, as a Trojan horse engineered for their downfall.
My advice? Ignore all the crowing coming from Washington this week. Iran's position may have weakened, but despite dangerous brinkmanship with the world economy at stake, the game is still essentially in stalemate.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Lost Magic was one of those games that tried to make a game based around the touch screen and nearly succeeded.

+ The magic system is very good and combining the runes gives you access to a plethora of spells... which, after having used them at least once, can be reviewed in the spellbook.
- The timer. You lost? Nine out of ten the timer will be the cause. It's absurd how little time they give, barely enough to finish the battle and preventing you from capturing monsters or experimenting with spells.
- Your monster's AI is horrible. I honestly believe they never heard of pathfinding...

Best Uses
The fabric the shirt is made of feels like it would've done just what I am looking for in hot, hot weather as an alternative to a shirt made by another company that had been my standby for years till that company changed the cut of the garment. But the fit here is not for my body shape unless it's tucked in, which would defeat my purpose. I need something to wear untucked in very hot, humid weather. The shirt tails are longer than I thought, going by the Internet photos, and the shirt itself was far too long for me and it's cut very straight. I'm 5 feet 2 inches and pear shaped. I could not button the last button of the shirt if left untucked. Which sometimes looks okay and I'll leave a shirt that way but couldn't pull it off with this one. It looked great on another woman trying on the shirt--she tall and had a straight build through the hips. Duluth Trading, it would be awesome if your designers would do a style without shirttails in a length for shorter women with hips.
Best Uses
I was really excited about receiving these shirts (I bought 3 of them). I love the plaids - they are beautiful! The fit and the way they flatter the body are amazing. BUT I wore it to do work around the house on a warm day and the shirt did nothing to wick perspiration. In fact, I felt as if I were wearing a plastic bag instead of a shirt. It was terrible! I couldn't wait to get the shirt off!
Best Uses
I love the idea of this shirt, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Unless you are extremely short in the body and as thin as a stick, the shirt won't look great. And the pockets? Please, who puts undersized pockets on a woman's chest? The pockets are not big enough to be useful and so detract from the look. And watch out groundhogs, when we lean over to garden, we will be mooning you! Overall, while the shirt feels cool to the touch, it is waaaaay too short and too narrow in the shoulders, bust, and body. As long as you don't care if you look oddly like a woman in a too-small mens' shirt, go ahead and buy it. But if Duluth wants my advice, they'll go back to the drawing board with a full-sized dress form!
Best Uses
I bought this shirt to wear with the dry on the fly pants. I like to fish but I have very fair skin. This shirt keeps the sun off of me and still lets me be cool and dry. I mainly use these shirts to fish and hike and sightsee, any activity where I will be exposed to the sun for long periods of time. The shirt does wrinkle when washed. They are very small ripples that give the shirt a little texture. If you are looking for crisp, look elsewhere. I haven't tried to iron it. For the activities I use the shirt for, a little texture does not matter.
Best Uses
Love this shirt, I wore it all day in the Florida heat and any sweat evaporated away and it was actually cooling!!! It was great that I didn't look like I was rolling around in the dirt by the end of the day.
The flip up collar was great and it stayed up and I didn't even notice it. Wonderful to keep the sun off my neck.
Although most of the reviews said it ran small I found it about true to size. The cost is high but I have paid around the same for other high end cooling riding shirts.
Best Uses
Cool, light, and nice colors but looks terrible after it's washed. Even when ironed, it puckers and looks frumpy and disheveled. Cooler than the Sidewinder, but you pay for that in wrinkles that will not come out. It's comfortable, but it won't do as a multi-purpose shirt.
Best Uses
I have sensitive skin so have to wear long sleeves when I work in the garden. This shirt is perfect to protect my arms without roasting me alive. I love the way it moves with me, allows my body to breathe, and covers my hind end while I bend over my plants. And I like that the shirt is attractive! I have the blue check and will buy another when they go on sale.
Best Uses
It's comfortable, looks great out of the dryer, and I love the plaids. The negatives are that the shirt pockets aren't deep enough to button over my iphone, and the labels at the back of the neck are terribly scratchy. They drove me crazy until I could get home to remove the shirt and cut the labels out. But after wearing the first shirt I ordered, I ordered another one so the negatives are very minor!
Best Uses
Finally, an every day shirt with style and comfort. It's light weight and feels so good on.
Best Uses
I didn't think I'd like this shirt--I'm a longtime wearer of natural fabrics. But this is quickly becoming my go-to shirt this spring for lounging indoors and out, gardening, hiking, and camping.
It's comfy, attractive enough to pass at the grocery store or a pub, and I just *love* the added features that others have already mentioned in detail. I have a medium build and am proportional in the chest, and the fit is perfect for me. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I think it's a perfect spring/summer shirt for this climate.
I do wish the colors were a bit more neutral; I never got why women's clothing and shoes) seem to have to be pink, purple, "sherbert" colors like teal instead of blue, and other stereotypical "feminine" colors.
I also concede that it's a bit pricey, but I think it's durable, it's easy to wash and dry, and if you are a little wrinkle tolerant, you'll love its cool, silky feeling.
I totally hear others who complain about the wrinkling. This is not ever going to be a crisp shirt. I am lucky that I can wear it to work, and I consider the crinkly texture of it a feature, not a bug.
Read what others say--there are loads of great comments about humidity, the fit for anyone who's not slim/medium build, or anyone with biceps. If you're a person with real upper arms, I am not sure how this shirt would work. It's a bit tight in that area even for those of us with less juicy/muscular parts.
All in all, for the right climate and build, if the cost doesn't put you off, I think this is a terrific shirt. The amount of time that I wear and rewear it is proof enough for me. It's well made and comfortable.

Stocks sink further in late trading; Amazon dropsBy KEN SWEET | April 26,2014ap file photo
Traders Daniel Leporin, left, and Michael Urkonis work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Global stocks tumbled Friday, after tensions over Ukraine mounted and Standard & Poors cut Russias credit rating, warning of capital flight and risks to investment due to the crisis.NEW YORK Stocks were sharply lower in afternoon trading Friday, dragged down by disappointing results from retail giant Amazon and Ford. Escalating tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine also weighed on the market. In addition to Amazon, other major tech names including Facebook also fell sharply.
KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poors 500 index fell 15 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,864 as of 1:25 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 159 points, or 1 percent, to 16,343 and the Nasdaq composite fell 76 points, or 1.8 percent, to 4,072. All three indexes are now lower for the week.
FORD STALLS: Ford fell 56 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $15.80 after the company reported earnings that fell short of Wall Streets expectations. Worldwide sales rose 6 percent in the first quarter, but the company reported a sales drop in North America that cut into the companys profit. General Motors fell 23 cents, or 1 percent, to $33.94.
AMAZON PRICE CUT: Amazon, the worlds largest online store, sank $32.40, or 10 percent, to $304.61. Amazon reported late Thursday an increase in first-quarter profit, but the company also said that spending on investments will likely lead to an operating loss in the second quarter. Other tech names also lost ground including Facebook, which gave up $2.74, or 4.5 percent, to $58.06.
VOLATILITY: Investors have had little patience for companies missing their forecasts this quarter, said Scott Clemons, chief investment strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.
The market is in a precarious position at the moment, and overreacts to bad news far more than it did last year, he said, noting as an example the 10 percent drop in Amazons stock price, even though the company meet analysts forecasts. This volatility doesnt have to be the enemy, because it allows you to pick up companies on the cheap.
RUSSIA: Secretary of State John Kerry accused Russia on Thursday of failing to live up to commitments it made to ease the crisis in Ukraine. In blunt language, Kerry said that unless Moscow takes immediate steps to de-escalate the situation, Washington will have no choice but to impose additional sanctions.
SANCTIONS FALLOUT: The sanctions already in place are starting to impact the profits of some U.S. companies, notably the payment processors Visa and MasterCard. Visa fell $9.42, or 5 percent, to $199.99 after it warned that the U.S. sanctions against Russia were causing Russian banks to use other companies to process payments. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country will create its own payment processing system. MasterCard was also hurt by the news. Its stock fell $3.51, or 5 percent, to $70.84.
OTHER MARKETS: Prices for U.S. government bonds rose, pushing the yield on the 10-year note down to 2.66 percent from 2.68 percent late Thursday. Yields fall when bond prices rise. The price of oil slipped $1.34, or 1.3 percent, to $100.60 a barrel. Gold rose $10, or 0.8 percent, to $1,300.60 an ounce.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Diversity will get an extra push at this weeks BookCon and BookExpo America.

Important questions about school management and board rights and responsibilities are regularly being decided in court and by administrative agencies. The IASB Legal Service Fund (LSF) was developed to assist school districts, area education agencies and community colleges in legal cases that have statewide significance. The IASB Legal Service Fund Committee is made up of nine board members representing the nine IASB director districts. The Committee is responsible for determining when IASB will either get involved in cases of statewide significance or assist LSF members in cases of statewide significance. If the Committee approves assistance the assistance can be in the form of research, working as a special counsel with the local attorney, support through an amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief, becoming directly involved as an intervening party, or financial assistance to help defray legal costs.
For more information, click here for the current brochure or contact Mary Gannon, IASB attorney (800) 795-4272 x229.
"Take advantage of as many IASB training opportunities as you can. It is an invaluable way to become more knowledgeable and competent within your school board member role."

Reviews of new series on NBC and ABC.
"All Good Things" is based on one of those true stories like Dominick Dunne used to tell so intriguingly in Vanity Fair. Let me begin with a brief summary, based on the film because I know nothing about the reality. It involves David Marks, the son of a New York family that owned valuable 42nd Street real estate in the 1970s. The property at that time was rented to strip clubs, porno shops, massage parlors and so on. The family, wealthy and private, moved in the best circles and the nature of its holdings was not widely known.
The patriarch, Sanford Marks (Frank Langella), is a commanding man who is hands-on. He often collects the rent in cash. He expects his son to enter the family business. David (Ryan Gosling) wants nothing to do with it. A free spirit of the Woodstock era, he meets Katie (Kirsten Dunst), and together they escape from New York and open a twee Vermont health foods and organic products store named, yes, All Good Things.
Sanford ratchets up the pressure. David caves in and returns to Manhattan, where his wife enjoys a luxurious but unhappy existence. She eventually discovers the nature of the family business. David, meanwhile, begins to change from the loving hippie she fell in love with. Their marriage comes apart. Katie disappears. She is never found again. David is suspected of being involved, but never charged, because he appears to have an unquestionable alibi.
And I will not reveal more. The film is the work of Andrew Jarecki, who in 2003 made the remarkable, Sundance-winning documentary "Capturing the Friedmans," about a family and its secrets; the father and one son were charged with child molestation. It's easy to see why this story appealed to him.
The key to the film is in the character of David. One can imagine a scenario in which an overbearing father drives the son to rebellion, but what happens here is more complex and sinister. David seemingly adapts to the lifestyle forced upon him. He plays a role like his father played among Manhattan power brokers and establishment members. He and Katie live in an expensive condo, attend charity events and so on. Perhaps it is self-hatred that drives him to insist they have an abortion.
Kirsten Dunst is so good here as a woman at a loss to understand who her husband really is, and what the true nature of his family involves. The man she married and trusted has undergone the transformation of a Dr. Jekyll. What happens is the sort of thing that develops only in fantastical horror stories, but this story apparently did happen in one form or another, and the most incredible details of David's transformation are specifically based on facts revealed during two murder investigations.
I choose not to reveal how or where David meets the wonderfully named Malvern Bump (Philip Baker Hall). The nature of their relationship goes along with where they meet — the place both their lives have bottomed. Hall is one of those actors who seem to have inhabited their characters for years. He needs no explanation, because he just exists.
Jarecki offers a possible solution for the enigma of Katie's disappearance and David's alibi. It involves his enigmatic friendship with Janice Rizzo (Diane Venora), and that's enough about that. This film reminded me of Barbet Schroeder's "Reversal of Fortune" (1990), based on the Dominick Dunne-able Claus von Bulow case. In both stories, there is every reason to focus on the obvious suspect, except the impossibility of explaining how he could have committed the crime: Indeed, if there even was a crime.
I don't understand David Marks after seeing this film, and I don't know if Andrew Jarecki does. It occurs to me that on my first visits to New York of course I was drawn to 42nd Street, the port of entry for many a young man from the provinces, and I might even have laid eyes on Sanford or David Marks. Little would I have known.

He's Sir Stan with curls..
The blond curls stream in the wind as he sways his hips, glides past an opponent and lays on a goalscoring chance.
Sound familiar? Take away the curls and it could be a description of the Stanley Matthews method.
The approach that made Matthews the first football knight has served McManaman well on his own way to the top thirty years after Sir Stan finally called it a day. Matthews himself was first to make the comparison.
After watching McManaman produce a mesmeric Wembley display, the wizard of dribble said: "He reminds me of me when I was playing."
Surely there could be no higher praise for a current footballer?
McManaman is like Sir Stan to the point that he, too, is no great goalscorer.
Just 31 League goals in seven seasons is a meagre return for a player of his immense talents. He, like Sir Stan, is maker rather than a taker of goals.

A very very low priority request
I realise this is a very petty thing but still, it drives me crazy.
When one enters the bridge on their Federation ship (I don't know if the Klingons have this problem), could we please spawn inside a turbolift (like we do with the engineering deck and so on) to present the illusion of stepping on to the bridge rather tha just inexplicably beaming onto it?
Thank you! I have always thought that "beaming down" to your bridge *MAKES NO SENSE!* It is one of the many minor annoyances in this game.
I can't imagine that it would take very long to fix this. You can even keep the spawn location the same, just get rid of the damn teleporter animation.
If I were going to make a change to this, I'd like to spawn sitting in the captain's chair.
I don't see this as much of a priority, either.

That sense is enhanced considerably, now, by Joe Mantello's production, a fulfilled work for which the downtown run was only a rough sketch. Along with the cut and reshaped text come sharper details and a tighter emotional focus. With the larger stage come bolder actions, stronger tensions, and more sense of the game. Sunjata's found the trajectory of his role; Huff's found ways to sneak an extra sense of jitters into his. Weller's Shane seems haunted by even darker demons. Even if we've only started to grasp the quicksilver structure of this troubling, complex play, it seems preposterous for anyone to complain about an evening that offers so much. And O'Hare's performance is one for the record books.
Radiant Baby, the Public Theater's musical about Keith Haring, has a vivid presentness too, but of a considerably lesser kind. Sculpted masterfully by George C. Wolfe's directorial eye, its easy flow is often eloquently beautiful to gaze at. But inside this visual wonderland, there's little to perceive except the same mopey old tropes, as another idealistic young artist gets chewed up by the fame machine. Stuart Ross's book keeps dropping hints that there's more to Haring's story, and Ira Gasman's lyrics, at their best, are so stingingly exact that you wish they would grapple with the bigger issues. The writers get little help from Debra Barsha's music, drably repetitive filler waiting for someone else's tunes. Even Wolfe's lush compositions are sometimes sandbagged by Fatima Robinson's choreography, which mistakenly tries to evoke a club scene by literal reproduction, a sure way to make audiences wish they weren't sitting down. Praise to Robinson, though, if she invented Daniel Reichard's goofy, broken-legged dancing style as Haring when he finally takes the floor: It tells you more about Haring than anything else in the show.
Radiant Baby
By Stuart Ross, Ira Gasman, and Debra Barsha
Joseph Papp Public Theater
425 Lafayette Street
What drove Haring, to what extent he hastened his own downfall, where his vision and his imagery sprang fromthe show slides across these questions but hardly explores them. A big deal is made of his veneration for Andy Warhol, but only linked to Haring's marketing, not his art. There's no sense of his un-Andyish enthusiasm for the forbidden, of the link between his drawing in subways under threat of arrest and his exploring the homosexual nightworld (the sexually graphic nature of some of his work goes unmentioned). Nor, despite the title, do we ever hear anything about the significance to him of his most familiar and heavily marketed image. The insufficiency's maddening because, when Radiant Baby's on, it's spot-on, with beautiful work particularly by Reichard and Kate Jennings Grant. When it's off, which is frequently, it's just an overdecorated case of the blahs in hip-hop drag. And when Wolfe's designers capture Haring's work most successfully, you feel his magical presence under this pile of noise and clichés, desperate to get out. And that really hurts.

Rear Adm. Mat Winter, Naval Air Systems Command
The Navy has made an important step in advancing its aerial strike and surveillance technology. It's found a way to blend unmanned and manned jets on the same aircraft carrier. Aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt off of the Virginia coast, the Navy successfully completed a test. A self-guided plane took off, landed and then maneuvered out of the way for a manned jet to land. Rear Adm. Mat Winter is the program executive for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons at Naval Air Systems Command. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain why the test runs are important to the Navy.

Fairfax, Virginia -
Phil Schreier likes to make a splash when standing before the bright lights of NRANews. As Senior Curator for the National Firearms Museum, we've come to expect the same. A beautiful gun. A powerful gun. An unorthodox rarity that few have seldom seen. Something like the E.A. Prescott revolver.
"It's a .38 revolver," started Schreier. "Most would not guess that it is a Civil War period gun because there are no telltale percussion cones on the cylinder."
There are no percussion cones because the Prescott fires self contained metallic cartridges. After taking off the ejection rod, the cylinder comes out allowing for a quick and easy reload. So why didn't this particular pistol take off? Patents.
"Smith & Wesson (along with Roland White) owned a patent on cylinders where you dropped in a cartridge with a rim on it. As long as they owned the patent on the gun, no one was allowed to make a firearm that worked that way."
As only 400 of the Prescotts were ever made, that means there are probably only three places where you can see them: at the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, Virginia, the National Firearms Museum website or tonight exclusively on NRA News.
Choose wisely my friends.

The Fish Pond
Likes # 0
Posted June 25, 2013 at 11:53AM
Well my patience ran out over the weekend regarding restocking my pond after the massed die off a few weeks ago.
I was waiting for the tadpoles to get too big to be eaten, so I bought small goldfish (1.5"max) that were a bargain at 10 for a tenner and are too small to eat the tadpoles!
So now it's all treated and netted up with anti-herron netting, but while I was preparing it, I discovered that I have froglets that I knew about, toadlets that I thought the late frost had killed off and, I believe that I now have newts that I've never had before, or maybe I did, but they got eaten. So as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.

Quickbeam ... [cue harp music] and let's go back in time ...
Like Alpine strawberry seeds and in a similar vein 'The Cooler King' in 'The Great Escape' ... played by Steve McQueen, I'm sure that those little embrionic tadpoles will be laughing all the way to the river bank at what nature dishes out... when the sun comes out to melt the snow and ice away for good.
You must have 'a way' with amphibians!

I stocked my pond many years ago with 5 little goldfish from the local fairground - in the days when you could get them as prizes. I have given away about two dozen to people stocking ponds and every year I find a few more little black baby goldfish that turn gold in the fist winter. The biggest is now about 6 inches long and I have a good range of colours and fin types.

I am not enjoying my koi pond at the moment, the cost of replacement foams, uv lamps and fittings cost me over £80 this year and it was such a fiddly job (had to cut the 3 pipe holes out in the foams myself) that have decided to convert it to a wildlife pond! Getting older, as we all do, performing the annual maintenance was becoming harder to perform and to enjoy crystal clear water and healthy fish this is a necessity. I shall make sure my koi go to a happy home!!
I shall flog all the gear, pumps, Xtreme combi pro filter, air stones etc and hopefully get a little back from my initial investment. OK, I know converting a straight sided quite large pond will be no easy task but come March/April next year, with help, that is what I shall be doing. I shall contact one of the many pond conservation schemes for advice and hopefully enjoy a pond, without worrying about the factors which were paramount in running my old set-up, yet still provide a source of interest throughout the seasons.

My name is Amanda, I am a 31yr. old mother of one almost 17yr. old girl(Brianna) and Umma(grandma) to a beautiful 18month old girl named Izsadora.
I have fought with mental illness; depression and anxiety most of my life-I am diagnosed with PTSD, Panic Disorder and Major Depression with Anxiety.
I am a survivor of sexual abuse and assault, in addition to growing up in a physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive home.
For a very long time I was able to cope with the aid of medication. I had a nervous breakdown two years ago in Feb. and was pretty much out of commision, not able to work, eat, sleep, sometimes move for almost two months. After that I started to do pretty well, but recently started having major panic attacks, and an increase in depression.
I am so glad that I found this group. I have honestly been looking for a positive forum to discuss and support and find support from other who struggle each day to break free from the grasp of mental health issues for quite some time. And truly hope this will be an added outlet for me.
I look forward to chatting with you all soon.

6 Simple Ways to Lead a Happier Life>>

Once reserved for sailors and rock stars, tattoos have become so mainstream, you may soon be seeing them in hospitals.
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created high-tech temporary tattoos that can measure heartbeats, brainwaves and muscle activity with the goal of transmitting the information wirelessly to health-care practitioners. The key breakthrough is the development of ultrathin flexible microchips that cling to the skin so naturally that they feel invisible, says lead researcher John Rogers. Premature babies will be among the first beneficiaries once the technology is approved, Rogers says, since they are often too small for the bulky electrodes and wires currently needed to monitor their vital signs. The tattoos will also allow for less intrusive monitoring of sleeping patients. The team is currently fine-tuning prototypes to enable fully wireless data transmission.
Though the project is exciting, the long-term goal is grander: "It's really to blur the distinction between man-made electronics and the body," Rogers says. "We think that's the future."

My 30 Day Challenge -- Day 16: The second half of the month
View HEALTHY-SPARK's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from HEALTHY-SPARK
Monday, October 01, 2012
The first two weeks using the SP tools have been so inspiring -- 6 pounds gone -- now I'm just hoping to keep up a certain amount of momentum through the next two weeks!
Today I went for a morning hike -- that's three days in a row! My goal with hiking (my main cardio venue) has always been to hike at least every other day. So if I hike one day, then I'm "allowed" to take the following day off from hiking. I find it kind of helpful actually, so that when it's a tough hiking day (trying to get back to the hiking shape I was in a year and a half ago has been a little rough) -- I promise that if I want to, I can take the following day off. Although I find that oftentimes when I get up -- I'm ready to go for another hike! Although tomorrow I might give my knee a break and work on something else for exercise.
Goals for this week.
1. Eat at least three fruits/veggie servings per day. Originally I thought I'd do one per meal, but I think I can stick with it easier if it is just 'for the whole day' goal.
2. Exercise -- still mainly working on cardio, although I need to start getting strength training up and going -- having a tough time getting motivated for str training. But the cardio goal is the same as before at least 3-4 times per week.
3. Track EVERYTHING. Even on days when I've gone a little crazy with eating -- it's actually helpful to do that, even if I know I've eaten more than I should have or made not so great choices. At least it's out there, and I'm being honest with myself.
4. My one week weight goals is at least one pound -- that will put me under 160 -- woohoo!.
5. Continue with the daily blogs -- it's been quite helpful to keep me on track and express my goals/victories/challenges via this blog.
This week might be a bit of a challenge because I'm flying to NM for two days to find a place to live -- and there are so many YUM restaurants there. So here's to front-loading on the exercise this week and keeping on track with the calorie goals. Hopefully if I do this, those two days won't send me too far off track!
Thanks for reading!
14 more days to go!

That does indeed explain car rentals! There will be balloons out all week - just not like the fiesta. There is an added trick to driving in ABQ during the Fiesta and days leading up to it - looky loos in the morning (and occasionally evening). Drivers need to pay special attention to people who are also driving and not. (That is indeed in addition to our regular bad driving habits!)
Report Inappropriate Comment
I can't wait to live there and be able to go check out the balloon fiesta each year -- sounds like such a neat thing to see! That also explains why the car rentals are about three times higher than the last time I was there and needed to rent a car! hah.
Congratulations on your weekly average! I figured the 1 pound goal should be attainable, and if it's better -- then great!
Report Inappropriate Comment
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta begins on Oct 6th. It is well worth checking out.
I have averaged about 1.7 pounds a week over the past 31 weeks. One pound a week is a good goal.
Have fun in NM

Ty Pennington and his gang from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition pounced on the Friday family of Lincolnton while they were shopping at a Christmas tree farm on Sunday.
Congratulations, they were told. In a week, you'll have a new house, compliments of the ABC network show and volunteer donations from the community.
Devona Friday and her husband, James, have served as foster parents to more than 30 children over the years. When she formerly worked as a police officer, she saw the effects of child abuse and wanted to become a foster parent to provide stable situations for kids in need, she said Sunday.
In May 2010, a teenager named Chris was placed with the Fridays and their three children. On his first night, Chris showed the Fridays a video of his four brothers and sisters, separated in the foster-care system. He asked whether the Fridays would consider taking them in, too, so they could live as a family again.
There was never a question we'd take in the whole sibling group, said James Friday, 39, an inspector for a fiber optic company. We made Chris that promise.
But authorities said the Fridays' three-bedroom ranch home at 105 Moore St., which they bought in 2005, was too small for all of them. So they sold their van to help with expenses and renovated their carport to put in two additional bedrooms. In April 2011, they got approval to adopt all five of the children.
We've sacrificed a great deal, but because of God we've never been in need, James Friday said.
Nominated for show
Someone unknown to the Fridays nominated them for the show and they were interviewed by producers. In recent weeks, they had been told that location scouts would be checking out their property at certain times and they could not be home then.
Neighbors were told someone nearby might be featured on the program and to expect a week's worth of disruption.
Colby Setzer, 27, bought the house across the street last Monday and moved in with his wife and two young children. Then they learned their home was going to be the set for a TV show. On his lawn, right outside his bedroom window, is a tent that will serve as Pennington's woodworking shop.
He was told to brace for power tools whining at all hours - they intend to work around the clock until the new house is done. If it got too annoying, Setzer was told, the production company would put his family up in a nearby motel.
We're going to try to stay and wing it out, he said.
By midday Sunday, production trailers and construction equipment clogged the neighborhood, power generators growled and the signature Makeover bus was being taped pulling up with the family.
Sunday night, the family departed to Jamaica, where they will stay in a resort until they return and get to see their new home on Saturday.
Bigger house
Frank Hereda and Wade Miller, co-owners of Bellamy Homes and the lead contractors on the project, said the new two-story home will have eight bedrooms and about 4,000 feet of heated space, more than double the existing home.
Still, they said it should fit with the scale of the neighborhood, mostly brick ranch homes built in the 1990s on large wooded lots on the edge of Lincolnton.
While they did not file demolition or building permits in advance, inspectors have reviewed the plans and given approval, he said.
When the old house is knocked down this morning, Miller said, they hope to save materials like bricks that can be recycled into new projects.
They said they hope to finish the project late Thursday or Friday. Extreme Makeover's move-that-bus ceremony will be held Saturday, no matter what.
It will be a year until the program will be seen, airing as the series' two-hour Christmas special in 2012.
