Her grandchildren are playing together in the back yard. "Fool's Gold takes care of our own, and sure enough, our friends and neighbors stepped in to occupy the boys so Ralph could stay with me." The boys settled on different names every fifteen minutes, constantly changing their minds, as children do. Rose, Lily, Petunia. Bert, Ernie, Grover. Vanilla, chocolate, The Hendrix family has been in Fool's Gold since the beginning � they are one of the founding families of the Land of Happy Endings. So with their roots firmly planted in California soil, how did the Hendrix triplets wind up with names like Dakota, Montana, and Nevada? t was Christmas 1982, and Denise Hendrix, then 26 years old, was in the hospital. She had given birth that morning to triplets. Girls. But no one was celebrating because complications with the birth had left Denise hovering on the brink of death. "Ralph was beside himself, rest his soul," Denise says now, 28 years later, the picture I of health. "He didn't know whether I was going to live or die. He was so scared, he couldn't think straight. A nurse kept coming in, pressing him to name the girls, if you can imagine that. Meanwhile, the boys were hounding him, asking him why Mommy wouldn't wake up." Ethan, the oldest, was five, Kent was three, and Ford was two. "Ralph said, `Let the boys name their sisters. It'll give them something to do,'" Denise says. "We can laugh about it now, but he always said that was the best and the worst day of his life." She's ensconced on a sofa in her sunny family room, surrounded by her three daughters, Ethan, and his new wife, Liz. Her two younger sons no longer live in Fool's Gold. Kent teaches school near Dakota, Montana, and Nevada Hendrix Join the Members Only area at susanmallery.com for a free sneak peek of Dakota's story, Only Mine (Aug. 2011)! NOW Chunky Monkey. Montana, the youngest by minutes, punches Ethan in the arm. "You were going to name me Chunky Monkey?" "Hey, don't blame me," he says. "Who gives a five-yearold that much power?" "The one that really boggles my mind is Oceania," Denise says. "You came up with that one, Ethan. You were always watching nature shows with your dad." As the day wore on, the boys grew tired, but they refused to leave the hospital without their mom and dad. So the people of Fool's Gold took turns reading every book in the waiting room to Ethan, Kent, and Ford. "Apparently, someone had left a Rand McNally Atlas at the hospital. By the time I came to, it was settled. The girls were named Nevada, Dakota, and Montana. I think everyone in town knew my daughters' names before I did. They're unusual, but honestly, I was just happy to be alive, and that all my children were healthy. You can't ask for more than that." "Even so," Nevada says, "as soon as the new hospital is finished, I'm donating 100 children's books to the pediatrics ward with characters who have normal names." Although the triplets have visited their namesake states, all three say they hope to live in Fool's Gold the rest of their lives. "It's home," says Dakota. "Mom didn't tell you the whole story. After we came home from the hospital, Dad had to buy a new freezer to hold all the food that people brought. Mom didn't have to cook anything from scratch until we were around eleven months old. Fool's Gold is a very special place."

Purchase Park 2 FlyRead MoreDuring his frequent travels, entrepreneurship professor Bill Guerro noticed both the high cost of airport parking and the congested drop-off area at the local terminal. Noticing a vacant lot on campus, Bill wanted to marry available resources to the situation, and brought his idea to one of his classes. Students crafted a business plan for a discount airport parking service that would also benefit the community by returning profits to the students and campus of the university. Offering short- and long-term service at reasonable rates, Purchase Park 2 Fly remains an extension of the university, and Phil Sanford—one of the students in Bill's initial entrepreneurship class—continues to serve the project as marketing coordinator. Profits help support Purchase College through scholarships and capital enhancements to roadways, facilities, and gold-plated foam fingers.735 Anderson Hill RoadPurchase, NY US

Splash Car WashRead MoreIn 1981, lifelong Greenwich residents Mark Curtis and Chris Fisher traded in their business suits for sudsy sponges when they purchased Greenwich Car Wash. 13 years later, they renamed their business Splash to coincide with an innovative idea developed by the duo: wash the cars by hand while also using a conveyor to keep them moving rather than trying to coax them forward with candy. That approach was a huge hit, and soon, Splash began spinning off into additional locations. Today, more than 15 Splash locations are peppered across the East Coast. What started as a humble two-man operation has grown into a franchise that employs more than 500 people and washes more than a million cars per year. At each location, cars receive the ultimate in pampering thanks to a list of services that includes hand washes, express washes, detailings, and oil changes. Despite such impressive growth, though, Splash remains true to its community-driven roots, working with more than 400 charitable organizations on an annual basis.170 S Kensico AveWhite Plains, NY US

Amazing healer for gut, skin, candida, sleep...!
7 people found the following review helpful
Posted by vitality on Apr 17, 2012
This is the best aloe I've tried. I prefer freeze-dried as it doesn't contain the preservatives that are in the liquids. I gradually built up to taking three a day on an empty stomach. It kills candida, helps the gut heal, strengthens digestion and has even seemed to help my sleep a little. It's a yin tonic; cooling. These are very concentrated.
Really Great

I just reordered. I love this. It's great for the stomach, very soothing. I also notice if I have one before a meal I eat less and it keeps the bowels moving in a gentle way. You'll feel cleaner if you take it for a while.
Another quality product from New Chapter!

A noticeable improvement is that the stomach is calmer and I do not react as much to food that I otherwise are allergic to. Good! Aloe Vera is said to improve the absorption of nutrients, which means that I get more benefit from dietary supplements. You may want to consider taking two capsules/day. Recommendations for daily dose of Aloe Vera juice varies between different sources.

I've been using Aloe for about 10 years now. I had been using a much more expensive aloe product. I'm thrilled to find this one. It has the same quality but about half the price.
Easy to take

I'm not sure if this is doing anything specific, but my food allergies have gotten a lot better even though I "accidentally" eat the offending foods most of the time. Seems like I don't have as many eczema breakouts and dry skin much anymore from my food allergies. It's REALLY easy to take as well because I don't have to take an insane amount a day, just ONE in the morning. :)

Table of Contents
Cooperation and conflict go hand-in-hand. Conflicts among group members are inevitable once cooperative learning is established in the classroom and faculty collegial support groups have been established in the school (see Chapter 10). The absence of conflict is often a sign of apathy and indifference, not harmony. The more group members care about achieving the group's goals and about each other, the more likely conflicts are to arise. Managed constructively, conflicts are an essential and valuable source of creativity, fun, higher-level reasoning, and effective decision making. Managed destructively, however, they are a source of divisiveness, anger, frustration, and failure. Students and faculty need to learn procedures for effectively managing conflicts and to become skillful in their use.
Students often have procedures for managing conflicts, but the procedures are not always constructive or shared among all classmates. One student may use physical violence, another may use verbal violence, another may withdraw, and a fourth may try to persuade. The presence of multiple procedures creates some chaos. This is especially evident with students from different cultural, ethnic, social class, and language backgrounds. Thus, it is important that all students (and staff members) learn to use the same set of conflict management procedures. Teaching these procedures involves establishing a cooperative context, showing students how to engage in academic controversies constructively, and establishing a peer mediation program in the classroom and school (see Johnson and Johnson 1989a, 1991b, 1992d).

Israel celebrates its 63rd Independence Day
Israel's somber memorial day for fallen soldiers gave way to Independence Day celebrations at nightfall on Monday in a sudden, stark annual transition ceremony.
At Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, Israel's national cemetery, Israelis kindled 12 huge torches to signify the start of the holiday marking Israel's 63rd birthday. Soldiers marched in formation, and fireworks lit up skies across the nation on a mild spring evening.
Speaking at the ceremony, Israeli Parliament Speaker Reuven Rivlin noted that deep divisions exist within Israeli society over political and social issues. He complained that over the past year, there have been many attempts by groups to silence their opponents. "Neither side, right or left, is deserving of boycott," he said. "No ethnic group is deserving of shunning." ..........

You've ever seen a newborn baby kill a grown man
That's an analogy for the way the world make me react
from Kendrick Lamar (Ft. Ab-Soul) – Ab-Soul's Outro Lyrics on Genius
This analogy means that Kendrick is witnessing something he can't comprehend in this world:
A small powerful elite, the ruling 0,1%, killing the freedom of the masses. If the masses (man) used the power they know they have, the elite (a baby) would never be able to kill them.
This meaning is also in line with the outro. Kendrick believes that his generation (named Section.80/HiiiPower) notices that there's a fire which burns inside of them which is similar to the fire that's inside of others. This generation is ready to unite and 'kill the baby'. Kendrick wants you to know that you represent something that's bigger than all of us.
You represent humanity.
Also in a sense Kendrick still feels like a baby when compared to the older men that are in power, but he's not afraid to challenge them and their ideals. This is also reminiscent of a line in Hol' Up, Kendrick is also referencing himself as this newborn baby.

On Friday Bargain Bin: The Leftovers
My mom is really easy to shop for but my dad is tricky. I often go with item-of-the-month type things for him. For his birthday I did 3-month subscription to a men's Birchbox, but usually some type of alcohol or food. He's found new favorites and those can then become the "special" things that I get for him for later gifts. My parents also appreciate upgraded versions of things they already love, like Tanqueray Ten and a sampler of fancier-than-Schweppes tonic waters to upgrade their regular gin and tonics. Experience tickets are also cool. If they both love golf maybe purchase a round of golf from a local place other than their usual. For things like that I usually check in with my parent's friends for references.

Audi "coup" by Thjnk
Rating: 5.0
By Anne Cassidy, mediaweek.co.uk, Friday, 22 January 2010 12:10PM
No date has been confirmed for when Abraham, who is understood to have informed UKTV shareholders Virgin Media and BBC Worldwide of his move today, will join the broadcaster.
Channel 4 acting chief executive Anne Bulford will lead the management team until Abraham's arrival.
The broadcaster has been on the hunt for a new chief executive since former boss Andy Duncan stepped down in November last year. Abraham was among the contenders tipped for the job, along with Jane Root, the former controller of BBC Two, and Lorraine Heggessy, the chief executive of Talkback Thames.
The switch may reignite speculation about the involvement of UKTV in the potential tie-up between Channel 4 and BBC Worldwide.
Lord Burns, Channel 4 chairman, said: "The board spoke to a number of other candidates and considered many more as part of a very thorough process and we're convinced that, in David, we have identified a creative manager of the highest quality.
"He has a track record of success as a chief executive and the right mix of skills to get all parts of Channel 4 working together to unlock our full creative and commercial potential and complete our transition into digital."
Abraham was appointed chief executive of UKTV in April 2007 and was behind the rebrand of UKTV channel G2 to Dave in the same year.
He joined UKTV from Discovery Networks USA where he was president and general manager for TLC.

Twin Palms Bed and Breakfast was awesome! Tara was very sweet. She provided fresh fruit, yogurt, and croissants for breakfast each morning. We loved the location! My husband and I walked to the ocean every morning to watch the surfers. We also used Tara's bikes and rode to Capitola. The room was very private and had everything we needed, even a private deck to relax on.
Tara was a lovely host. The room and terrace was spectacular and it was an absolute pleasure to stay in this comfortable home in a great location. We made great use of the bikes that Tara kindly provided. The breakfast provided was a really nice touch. We would definitely stay again.
Tara was a warm, welcoming and very accommodating host. We loved staying in her beautiful master suite, with beautiful light, a garden balcony, a delicious breakfast and coffee and bikes to rent. Her family was extremely helpful, and we would book again in a second.
The neighborhood is very residential and quiet. It's less than five minutes to the beach where we watched surfers and enjoyed the view. We spent three nights here and found the room to be nice and clean, the pvt deck was a great place to drink our morning coffee. We loved all the different succulents arranged in pots. To get to the second floor space, we had to walk thru Tara's living room and past her dog Lily who barked. Tara was pleasant and easy to talk with.
Was a great place to stay. Beautiful private room and deck in a great location. Tara was a great host. We look forward to staying here again.
Everything was wonderful and so quiet we slept so well! The room is beautiful and Tara very warm and welcoming.
Tara's place is very special. Stayed here two years ago and also last week and it's just getting better. Tara is very sweet and accommodating, the room is luxurious, modern and clean. It's a real treat I would stay here again for sure.
About the Host, Tara
I love living in the Pleasure Point neighborhood of Santa Cruz; people are friendly, and walk in the neighborhood. My dogs go to the beach every day to explore and play with other people with their dogs, kids building sand castles, and watch the many surfers taking advantage of the breaks.
I teach yoga, practice myself, and work privately with individuals, encouraging them to slow down, breathe, and occupy our bodies
My son, Peter, lives in the house; he is a chef at a well know Hotel/Restaurant in Santa Cruz..
I'm happy to help you find your way around town and visit a bit, and also like my space so am happy to give you yours. We don't like surprises (don't bring guests we haven't been told about, or ?)...We like clear communication.

Nuon Team wins World Solar Challenge
October 10, 2013
Delft University's Nuon Solar Team has won the Challenger class of the World Solar Challenge. Its solar-powered Nuna 7 vehicle arrived in Adelaide at 10:03 a.m. on the morning of the fifth day of the event, having led from the front for the full 3,021 km from Darwin, crossing Australia from north coast to south in a total of a little over 33 hours. That puts its average speed at an impressive 91 km/h (57 mph).
Nuon Team was closely trailed by Team Tokai from Tokai University in Japan. Winners of both the 2009 and 2011 Challenger classes (the event is biennial), Team Tokai ran into difficulty after the final checkpoint, where only minutes had separated the two teams, at once point being forced to stop due to being unable to sustain a safe speed in traffic. At the close of day 5, Nuon Team is the only one to have made it to the finish.
The result is a return to form for the Nuon Solar Team, which won the event in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2007 with Nunas 1 through 4.
Challenger is the elite class of the event, in which vehicles race from between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. each day. Apart from a starting allowance of 5 kWh of energy, competing vehicles must make the trip using only solar energy, or energy recovered from the movement of the vehicle itself. The 5 kWh is estimated to be about 10 percent of the total required to make it the entire way.
Nuon Solar Team's overall time was a little behind its 2005 pace, when it completed the trip in 29 hours and 11 minutes achieving an average speed of 102.8 km/h (63.9 mph).

I expected at least one technical detail to account for the win. I wasted my time, but at least the article avoids teaching errors.Bob Stuart
I know that technology makes its way to everyday devices, but a biennial tit-for-tat between two coffee tables can get a little boring. Some reporting on entries in the solar challenge that could provide actual transportation for people larger than jockeys would be nice.Bruce H. Anderson
Beautiful vehicle!
With the long thin fairings it is now evident that 8 wheels can be used in a bogied configuration.
Someone will do it and roll away from all the rest.
bIsland Architect
Bruce H. Anderson - your "two coffee tables ... a little boring" - is easily rebutted by the publicly available material on the development\assembly of e.g. Nuna 7, the 2013 Tokai Challenger or the race itself. WSC isn't Formula 1 by any measure and it shouldn't be, thanks goodness. Your "people larger than jockeys" - read first the WSC rules or have a look at the Cruiser Class entries.
I've followed the race closely and enjoyed it a lot. It's not very green (lots of accompanying cars/tracks), the teams aren't on par financially and technologically, there are lots of seemingly confusing tricks to charge the batteries, but these guys do advance our view of mobility without much public funds wasted and fossil fuels burnt. The tech behind the Challenger Class is just amazing and it's being applied to what we see as an ordinary car in the Cruiser Class.
Many thanks to the WSC organisers, sponsors and teams of course for a great alternative to ICE races!YuraG
to YuraG : Nicely answered. And I agree that ICE racing is more than a "little" boring. Like watching penny farthing bike races - good stuff for the nostalgic.duh3000

Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), the leader in email encryption services, announces the launch of ZixDLP to address business's greatest source of data loss – email. ZixDLP is an email-specific data loss prevention solution. By focusing strictly on email, ZixCorp provides a straightforward DLP approach that decreases the cost and reduces deployment time from months to hours. ZixDLP is also designed to have minimal impact on customer resources and workflow.
"ZixCorp is recognized for our dedication to easy to use, innovative email encryption. As we explored opportunities to take advantage of our expertise and grow our business, we saw DLP as a natural extension," said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited to introduce an email-specific DLP solution that provides our customers with a convenient solution to a complex problem and minimizes the risk of the greatest data loss problem in their company."
Leveraging the company's leadership and expertise in email encryption, ZixDLP was developed to use ZixCorp's proven policy and content scanning capabilities with new quarantine functionality. The quarantine system and its intuitive interface allow administrators to:
- Easily define policies and create custom lexicons for quarantining email messages
- Conveniently manage quarantined messages using flexible searching and filtering options
- Release or delete individual or multiple quarantined messages with one click
- Review reports that monitor quarantine activities and trends
- Automate custom notifications informing employees of quarantined messages
In addition to an easy to use administrator interface, ZixDLP provides a convenient employee experience. When an employee uses the company email system to send an email to a recipient outside the company, the message and attachments are scanned by ZixDLP. If a policy is triggered, the email is sent to a quarantine system, and the employee receives a notification message. Embedded in the notification is a link to where the user can easily review the quarantined email message. Administrators can enable employees the capability to review, release the email with justification noted or delete the email and draft a new version.

The Kok River
The Kok River is the main river of Chiangrai province. The river originates from the top of mountain in Burma coming in at the Thai border town of Thaton. It passes through Chiangrai province and flows to the Mae Kong River at Sop Kok Village in Chiang Saen district covering the area of 130 kilometers. This river is significant to Lanna culture since there has been cities found locating along the river. The name, Kok, might have come from the reed trees (Ton Kok) growing along the riverside. Nowadays, the Kok River offers an amazing view: the ultimate place for relaxing.
The highlight when visiting the Kok River is the boat trip along the river to admire the beautiful view from both sides. Starting from Mae Fah Luang Bridge Port in the city to Karen Village; the village has become a touristic location. One of the activities is to ride on an elephants and learn more about hill tribes' daily life such as E Kor tribe, Lee Sor tribe, La Hu tribe, and Hmong tribe; there are also cultural performances from each hill tribe. Homestay and souvenir shops are available. If you come in group, you should book in advance at least 3 days at Mae Yao District Administration Organization. Tel. 05-373-7359-11 .The elephant ride's fee depends on the distance. Boat fee is 900-1,000 baht for one chartered boat offering 8 seats. The trip takes about 1 hour ride.
Other activities include boat rafting for those who like the adventures and kayaking freely along the river stream. Another highlight is mineral water–hot spring bath. Along the Kok River, there are so many bath services available such as Huay Mak Liam Hot Spa, Pong Phra Bat Hot Spring and Pa Sert Hot Spring which is near Karen Village.
The Kok River is then perfect for visiting as it offers fun, exciting and adventurous boat trips, beautiful sightseeing along the river, cultural visit at each marvelous hill tribe and a great and healthy natural hot spring bath.

Tables were turned on the host of 'Aap Ki Adalat' show, Rajat Sharma, on Friday as he was subjected to a lot of difficult questions by the audience of 'Bhaskar Utsav' comprising people from different strata of society.
However, the veteran journalist didn't bat an eyelid and answered every question with great ease winning him admiration and applause of every person present in the auditorium.
Sharma, who was around an hour late for the seminar, apologised for keeping people waiting but the reason he gave for the delay pleased everyone.
"I have come across a lot of complaints for not getting Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on my talk show — Aap Ki Adalat. Before coming here, I was with him and invited him to my show. Thankfully, he has accepted the invitation," said Sharma.
"The TRP of our news channel increases by more than 60 per cent when Narendra Modi is there on TV," he added.
The 57-year-old also expressed his condolence for the Uttarakhand victims and appreciated media efforts for bringing continuous news and updates about the incident and happenings.
Talking about his career, Sharma said becoming a journalist was not on his cards for the first two decades of his life.
"I belonged to a poor family and the main priority was to earn a decent living. Televisions were recently launched and our neighbour was the only one who had a TV set. We used to gather at his place to watch various programmes until one day he decided to shut the door on our face," said Sharma.
He added: "At that moment my father said something I can never forget and that has helped me in becoming who I am now. He had said: 'You go to a second person's house to watch a third person on TV. Why don't you do something which gets you on TV and people watch you'."
Sharma was also accused of being soft on film stars while behaving strictly with politicians.
Explaining the reason behind his soft stance, he said: "The reason I am hard with politicians is that they have the power to control whereas an actor doesn't even has his own dialogues to speak."
