Our radiation monitoring teams have discovered high levels of contamination in crops grown on the outskirts of Minamisoma city in Japan. The data was collected from the gardens of Minamisoma city residents, and registered well over the official limits for spinach and other vegetables. This is bad news amid already serious concerns over the health risks to residents and a lack of official information from Japanese government.
"In several Minamisoma gardens, the vegetables were too contaminated for consumption," reports Rianne Teule, who is leading our food testing team. "The owner of one garden with contaminated spinach told us that she had received no information from authorities on the radiation risks to her crops, despite reports that government tests on plants in Minamisoma have been underway since March 18."
The government has been publishing raw data from its own field monitoring. However, its assessment is far from comprehensive. Measurements taken by our radiation team in several parts of Minamisoma city show levels of up to 4.5 microSievert per hour, as opposed to the relatively low levels of 0.7 microSievert per hour recorded at the only official monitoring point in Minamisoma City.
While the Japanese government's data might not be incorrect, it doesn't actually give the public the full picture, nor does it adequately protect the health of people in Minamisoma. The people in Minamisoma have been advised to stay indoors or told they can leave on a voluntary basis. However, our measurements, which were taken between government monitoring points, show levels of contamination that indicate a risk to health and safety.
Our field monitoring team met with the Mayor of Minamisoma, Katsunobu Sakurai. He expressed his frustration, citing a lack of reliable information or clear advice from TEPCO and the authorities regarding risks this crisis poses to his community.
"TEPCO has been irresponsible. This was clearly demonstrated when it took 11 days for it to speak to us after the accident. The government has also not supplied us with any kind of report that we can understand," said Sakurai. "We are asking the government to not only supply enough information about what has happened, but also that it guarantee that it will respond responsibly to possible future risks."
But inconsistencies with the goverments measurements are not just in Minamisoma. The field radiation team recorded data near the village of Tsushima, outside the 30km voluntary evacuation zone, and also found contamination levels of up to 47 microsieverts per hour, compared to the 32.7 reported by the authorities. This means the people of Tsushima could achieve maximum allowable dose for a year in under 24 hours.
There continues to be an urgent need not only for reliable data from Japan's government, but also meaningful interpretation and advice about the risks of radioactive contamination in food and the environment. The people affected by this disaster must be able to protect both their health and their livelihoods the best they can.
We are calling on the authorities to re-evaluate the evacuation zone around the Fukushima nuclear plant.
We are commited to providing independant data, and will continue to collect radiation data outside of the evacuation zone near Fukushima and report those findings publically.
Have a look at the map of locations and radiation readings compiled by the radiation team, and keep an eye on our main Fukushima page for updates.

Advice to that woman's daughter about returning to Japan: DON'T. The authorities here and in Japan are NOT telling people the truth because the truth would make people act hysterically and what blame the government? Can't imagine why.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to protect oneself from ad infinitum nuclear leaks into the ocean by the millions of gallons of radio active water and waste. The water will ultimately foul the air and then the wind will take it from there.
This disaster in my opinion is WORSE than Chernobyl by yards. There are at least one if not three or more core meltdowns. I cannot tell you which reactors but those in the know are saying there are nuclear core meltdowns without a doubt. Take a good look at these destroyed plants and you would have to be in imbecile to think it is not melted to the core.
We are in an entirely new theater of disaster. This is UNPRECEDENTED. This is by far the worst human caused disaster in the history of this planet because man does not account for the unthinkable being thinkable.
If your daughter were mine I would hog tie her and handcuff her rather than let her return to Japan. At LEAST 1/3 of northern Japan is rendered UNINHABITABLE probably for CENTURIES if not forever.
Worse not only is the ground water contaminated with uranium it is contaminated with Plutonium one of the most lethal substances known to man. A milimicrometer can kill you. Beyond that there is cesium leakage another lethal biproduct and also a mixture of MOX yet another horrific substance.
It is my opinion after doing extensive reading on this nuclear holocaust the the whole of Japan will be impacted by this catastrophe and worse than even that the rest of the world will be impacted too most especially north America and beyond. And there is a risk of more hydrogen explosions.
THIS is the legacy and LUNACY of the gd nuclear power industry that environmentalists like Helen Caldicott have been screaming against for years. When it comes to the almighty buck humanity is on the losing end. And we WILL lose. The substance is odorless, colorless but it may as well be a gallons of lead -- the poison will kill adults, the elderly and most especially children. Be prepared in Japan and everywhere else to notice cancers of the thyroid, bone, leukemia and other forms of cancer over years or decades.
Even nuclear power corporatist's children will die. I guess that is what they want as they vie to shut down the US government because they do not like the EPA. Nuclear power CEO's: when your kid dies before his/her time from cancer don't come crying to us because all I would say is we told you so. If only the rest of us were not pulled into the hell you have made. Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here says Dante Inferno. Do not ask for whom the bell tolls it tolls for the!

I wrote a post yesterday in comment to the mother asking if her daughter should return to Japan. I perhaps should have said I am not an expert nor am I an authority in Greenpeace. I DO, however, have my opinions which Greenpeace thought NOT to publish. I do not know why. The mother's question WAS important. I'll try again and hope even Greenpeace is not ignoring this terrible scenario.
In my opinion if I had a daughter wanting to go to Japan I would do just about anything to IMPLORE her NOT to go. The northern part of Japan is UNINHABITABLE and will remain so for decades if not centuries.
I believe after reading so much on the disaster that the governments and media corps attached to them all over the world have either have taken this issue off the media purview OR still continue, as impossible as it is to understand, minimize it.
The contamination is ENDLESS. I believe one if not even three reactors are in a full meltdown as is the spent nuclear fuel rod. The reactors if one looks at them are destroyed and more explosions are possible.
That means not only is radiation poisoning not only in the soil it is massively in the water too -- ALL water ground and sea. You cannot see it, feel it or smell it but it's there to ultimately kill with all forms of toxins and ultimately cancers and many of them. It is not only uranium as if that would not be enough but it is poisons such as cesium, the worst of the worst plutonium and a horrible mixture called MOX highly toxic that have leaked profusely.
In short I HOPE you prevail upon your daughter NOT to go. This situation is NOT going away but is getting every day DECIDEDLY WORSE! Just MY opinion. Wonder if Greenpeace will sanction it.

This is a very unfortunate event. We've had 50 years of history showing us severe catastrophes that nuclear radiation can cause. I've even heard that some brave Japanese workers have given their lives to help clean up the mess. I salute them for their bravery in a toxic situation. I am also praying for this mess to be dissipated quickly and not harm many people. I hope people do take some precautions so they don't get sick though. Like using some simple and common Herbs for Radiation exposure and protection.
We all need to help each other and knowledge is one of the greatest gifts.

I am staying in the Ryukyu islands of Amami Oshima and I am concerned about the rainfalls from April 5 and 6th as the wind was blowing straight from the North for 2 consecutive days. People here, when asked about the risk of radiation will say "koko wa zenzen kankenai", which means we are not concerned at all here. Basically people are kept completely uninformed about radiation spreading in the entire northern hemisphere and the risk associated with radioactive rain.
It is almost upsetting to witness this lack of education considering fish contamination was high in the region during the bikini islands nuclear bomb tests. The official Japanese radiation readings by prefecture show none in all prefectures in the south, even though China and Korea report fallouts from the rain.
Could Greenpeace monitor radiation fallouts in the Ryukyu islands (okinawa, amami) and show the Japanese that Fukushima is not an isolated event, and that radiation do spread out... Amazingly no one seems to be aware of these basic facts here.

Thank you for watching out for Japanese people. I'm so frustrated with Tepco, Japanese government, and Japanese media. I worry about all my family and friends living in Japan. They are not getting accurate information in a timely manner. One of my friends is depending on the news from overseas since she doesn't trust what's been broadcasted in Japan.

I am highly suspious of what both TEPCO and the government is saying and not saying. If it could be possible I would like to see what you guys can find south of the disaster. Because when this whole thing began the winds were blowing towards Tokyo. I have some friends in Tokyo who believe the media reports so I would like to see what you can come up with because I believe the radiation levels are higher that what the government and the media reports.

Does it work with siri
Hi will this headset work with Siri, e.g be able to talk to the phone without touching it just by pressing button on the headset itself?
- Asked by Alex S
Jabra WAVE Bluetooth headset
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes. I just bought this and it works fine with Siri. You simply have to hold the answer/end button for about a half second to activate Siri.
If you hold it for a shorter period (what Jabra calls a "tap") then it will only activate the phone and say "connected".
If you hold for 5 seconds it will reset the headset.
So remember, just a press for about 1/2 second.

An Artist Visits the White House Past
Paintings by Peter Waddell
From its construction in 1792, until the 1902 renovation that shaped the modern identity and functions of the interior of the White House, the fourteen paintings of this series examine the history of a national icon. Through meticulous research and tireless attention to detail, numerous sources inspired the brush of Peter Waddell to create a vision of the White House as it was, and to gain an appreciation of the nineteenth-century house and the men and women who lived and worked within its walls.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – A community came together to grant a homeless man his last wish. That dying wish was to see his dog one more time. It was a simple request, but one that meant the world to him in his final days.
People involved with the man's last wish describe it as something they'll never forget. Now that he's gone, they'll always cherish the memories of the man and his best friend.
"She is full of energy and just brings so much love and energy into the home," said the dog's new owner, Kate Ungs. Meet Yurtie, also known as Yurt. She is getting used to her new home, adopted by Kate and Eric Ungs of Marion. "When we first saw her online in the bio it said, has a very compelling story, but you know, at the time those were just words," said Eric Ungs.
Yurt used to live with a homeless Cedar Rapids man, 57-year-old Kevin McClain, in his car. But a month ago he became ill with lung cancer.
Paramedics rushed him to Mercy Medical Center and later to Hospice House. Yurt went to the animal shelter.
"In the transition of moving him over from our ambulance cot to the bed, he told me, 'I have a dog,'" said Area Ambulance Service Paramedic Specialist Jan Erceg.
Yurt's shelter was the same shelter where Kevin's paramedic, Erceg, also volunteered.
"He said her name is Yurt and at that moment, that was my Aha! moment," Erceg said.
From the day Yurt and Kevin were separated, he asked to see her.
It was his dying wish.
The Hospice Home, Ambulance Service and shelter teamed up to make it happen.
"And the moment he opened those eyes and saw that dog there was instant recognition and with Yurtie, she licked his arms, she licked his face," Erceg said.
"It was a couple days later that Kevin did pass away here at the Hospice House. So it just really seemed to work so perfect," said Dennis & Donna Oldorf Hospice House Patient Care Coordinator Brandi Garrett.
In the end, this companion was there for his owner, even in death. That's a true companion that the Ungs know they're now lucky to have.
"She's our family and we're her family, just a tight knit group," Eric Ungs said.

It's been a high-profile day for Alamedans.
At 6:30 a.m., Channel 5, the Bay Area's CBS affiliate, filmed part of its Early Edition by helicopter over Alameda Avenue.
Supporters of tomorrow's breast cancer fundraiser, Dance for a Cure, formed a pink ribbon and gave the Bay Area a "hi five," waving pink ballons and reminding the community to come out tomorrow from 5 p.m. to midnight at Eagles Hall.
"They're going nuts waving!" said one of the broadcasters. "See how creative our Hi Fives are — they are jumping up and down!"
"The tickets are really selling out," said DJ Alex Mejia, an Alameda native. "We should have at least 400 people."
Around the corner on Central Avenue, the area around the Alameda Theatre was closed off by police so that GMC could film a commercial for one of its new SUVs.
Watch out for those cameras and film crews as you move around town!

Tonight is a tribute to Michael Jackson's "Bad" and the show starts with pros and the troupe performing to two of the album's "monster hits" — "Smooth Criminal" and "The Way You Make Me Feel." I wish we were getting a "Thriller? tribute instead of a "Bad" tribute, but "Bad's" the one that's turning 25 and getting a Spike Lee-directed special on this same network later this week.
We're calling the remaining couples "semi-finalists." Whatever. The first round is going to be those weirdo made-up themes/styles and the second round is going to be the Michael Jackson music.
Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani
"Caveman Hustle"
Based on the theme/style, I'm guessing their music is going to be Was (Not Was)'s "Walk the Dinosaur. Melissa reminds us this is not a "traditional ballroom dance." Then they're trying to work out the motivations of the cavemen doing the hustle. I am not making one bit of this up. I love it when they parody themselves.
Sunday during "camera blocking" Tony fell to the floor with a back injury, but the doctors have cleared him to dance tonight.
This routine starts with a terribly bad CGI dinosaur in the ballroom. Because this show has completely gone off the rails this season. Shoe watch: they're both barefoot. Because cavemen didn't have shoes, don't you know? But apparently they did have false eyelashes, spray tan, and tooth bleach.
Oh, hey! Look at that, I was right about the song. I'm so smrt, sometimes. Since this routine is weird and lame, let's talk about how this album, What Up, Dog?, turns 25 next year. If you haven't heard it in a while give it a re-listen - it holds up well. If you've never heard it, remedy that immediately.
Len says Melissa never disappoints. Bruno points out that she lost her footing in a couple of the turns. Melissa liked the "caveman" sections better than the "Hustle" sections.
Tom quips, "You gotta love the prehistoric dental work." I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 9; Len: 9.5; Bruno: 9
Shawn Johnson & Derek Hough
"Knight Rider Bhangra"
So, it's an "Indian folk dance" - go ask the kids from "So You Think You Can Dance" how well those "folk dances" tend to go over.
Does Shawn know what Knight Rider is any more than she knows what "banghra" is? Given that it went off the air six years before she was born? Yeah, take a moment if you need to realize how old that makes you.
I'm not sure I see what the difference is between Bhangra and Bollywood, at least the way it's being presented here. There are a couple of great lifts - not sure whether they're forbidden. Oh, and shoe watch: Derek gets to wear them, Shawn doesn't. Wimmen don't need shoes.
Carrie's impressed that Shawn is actually out of breath. Len says, "Shut up. Close the door. Call me Mary." All of that apparently adds up to, "he liked it."
Scores: Carrie Ann: 10; Len: 10; Bruno: 10
Tomorrow night Paula Abdul will perform "four of her biggest hits" - if there's no MC Skat Kat I'm leading a revolt.

I could get to Tavistock by public transport (without needing a bank loan ) but as I live 6 miles from any bus route it would mean a taxi into Launceston. Bus to Plymouth (or possibly Callington via Gunnislake ), bus out of Plymouth to Tavistock and I'd have to get to Tavie around 5pm and kick my heels for a couple of hours.
However this is totally moot since there's no late bus back to Plymouth/Callington or from there back to Launceston so the housemate would have to pick me up anyway...
Or I could hitch-hike I suppose
Glad you are going to see it, Jan.
There is no direct bus route from where I live to Tavi either. Here to Plymouth, then Plymouth to Tavi.
Thank goodness for a daughter who drives. I hope she enjoys it after me twisting her arm to take me. She isn't into Terry Pratchett at all.
It'll take us about half an hour to get to Tavi, we go regularly for the fleamarket, we are going early & will have something to eat in Morrisons, their café doesn't close until 8 p.m. Thursday's, which is very handy.

Like many kids my age (15, nearly 16) I have an interest in piercings. Out of what I have done my most beloved of them all is my monroe piercing (simulated beauty mark above upper lip). While most girls get their bellybuttons pierced I have an interest in piercings that are not so common, which is why I got my monroe piercing two months ago.
It all started about one month before Christmas. I was getting the itch for a new piercing. First I wanted my tongue done, but that was a DEFINATE NO. So I opted for a less mainstream one and asked for a monroe piercing. My parents said no at first but after four weeks of asking over and over again they broke down and said yes. Two days after Christmas my mom said we could go after my dentist appointment and get my piercing. While at the dentist I was having second thoughts about my piercing. What if it hurts really bad? What if the piercer messes up and has to do it again? After these worries I chickened out and asked the dentist to numb the area of the future hole, and he did.
Flash forward an hour and I'm standing at the counter picking out my labret. I picked a plain surgical steel one with a small purple stud in the ball. Following that I had a 15 minute wait, but finally my moment arrived. I was led into a small room with a window by the chair so other customers can watch piercings if you don't mind. The piercer, who looked like Alec Baldwin, carefully picked out a needle and made sure it was the right side. After cleaning everything he said "Ok, lean back a little(so he could get a better angle) and close your eyes." I thought I'd hear a sort of pop noise after the needle went through my skin (inserted the needle from inside mouth to exit outside of face), but I didn't. After opening my eyes wondering if it was over I looked straight into the mirror and saw my beauty mark. I opened and closed my mouth a few times, feeling the flat back by my gum. It felt really weird, but cool.
After receiving a cleaning sheet and some salt to mix into water for rinsing with the piercer told me what kind of soap to use (anti-bacterial like Dial or Softsoap) and told me I could use any kind of mouthwash so long it doesn't have alcohol in it. Also he told me I would want to pick up some ibuprofen for the swelling.
After debuting my piercing initially I got weird looks and comments, which I still do. My piercing healed really good and finished healing within 3-4 weeks. I have yet to order a specially made labret for my monroe but I have fun changing the balls so my monroe is different then most peoples'. I've only seen one other girl in my town with one, so I feel very unique since the piercing isn't very popular around here.
The only thing I still hate since getting my piercing is when people ask stupid questions like: "Do you know you have a piece of metal above your lip?" I would recommend this piercing to anyone who wants to get one. It's really pretty and it makes you more unique. Also, anytime anyone is in the area of Ames, Iowa, stop at The Asylum in campus town. The workers are professional and cool, plus the setting is VERY sterile.

The garden is meant to be decorated. While you don't have to string lights from the trees (although that can also look nice at the right time of year), the backyard is always going to look better with a bit of decor. Resin garden statues add character and can let you decorate the yard with everything from Greek garden statues to highly detailed animal garden statues and stunning stone garden angels. However, if you would rather stick to a more contemporary touch when it comes to garden decor, you may want to consider using certain Asian garden statues.
While a large Buddha sculpture can add a majestic, timeless touch to the garden, Basho the Sumo Wrestler provides a more modern look. As he squats in classic Sumo fashion Basho gets ready to wrestle any of your garden gnomes and gives the garden a unique east Asian touch. To add depth to your contemporary garden sculptures, pair Basho with a Far East Garden Fighters Sumo Gnome Statue. The Sumo Gnome is also dressed for a wrestling match but looks far too happy and cute to actually do any wrestling. On the other hand, the Far East Garden Fighter Ninja looks more than ready to defend your backyard from squirrels, rabbits, and other intruders. To round out your display of contemporary Asian garden sculptures, you can't go wrong with the beautiful and musical Cascading Bamboo Sculptural Fountain.

Inside the locker room: Ben RoethlisbergerPosted by on December 26, 2012 – 5:16 pm
Have the last few weeks given you cause to think about the offseason and the changes the team may make? Also, what has the problem been with the failed comeback attempts?
In the past, I've prided myself and our team in the fourth quarter comebacks. We've always said you don't want to have them because then you're usually not doing so well early-on in the games. But we've always been good at it. This year just wasn't. I don't think there is a rhyme or reason why. Just was a year where I wasn't [good]. I don't think there's any reason to go panic. I've been pretty good for eight years doing it. I had one not-so-good year at it. I felt like I played pretty good football though, other than those situations. There's not going to be any panic. I know that this offseason, when it gets here, will be a focus on really striving to get better.
Have you found a little perspective in the days since the Bengals game?
A little bit. It's still pretty tough. I still go over a lot of things in my head but that's the competitor in me.
Were you still dealing with injury-issues down the stretch here?
I'll never make excuses. We can talk about that in the offseason maybe. I feel good enough to play.
How do you prepare for a game that has no bearing on the season?
Well, we want to finish strong. I want to finish strong. I'm going to go out there and give it my all. I'm not going to quit on this team or this franchise or the fans. They're going to get everything I've got and I think everyone in the locker room feels the same way.
How disruptive was the three-game layoff?
It's unfortunate. Injuries are never fun. But you know me, I won't make excuses. I've got to be able to step-up and perform afterwards just as well as I did before.
Have you felt the same since you came back as you did before the injury?
Obviously, as you progress throughout a season everyone is a little injured and everyone is a little banged up. Every week you get a little more banged up. But no excuses from me.
How important is it to avoid a sub-.500 season? Or is it playoffs and Super Bowl or bust for you guys?
Obviously the playoffs and Super Bowl are always our goal. One of my goals coming in was to never be below .500. I know we want to try to avoid a losing season at all costs.
What are the chances that if we were to talk to you a week from today that you will have had surgery already?
I have no clue. Hopefully nothing happens this week. [Laughs]
Have you thought about who may or may not be here next year?
No, because, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm not looking past this game. This game means a lot to me. It means a lot to a lot of the guys in here. I'm not going to quit on this team or the fans because we at least owe that to them, to fight all the way to the finish.
Can you put something on film this week to convince the team to bring certain guys back?
We hope so. We would love to put a good showing out there. I think everyone wants to go out and play their best. Obviously, every year we want to have everybody back. We know that never happens. I think we've got a great group of guys and I know who you're talking about. I hope he's back.
Why did this team not finish strong this year?
I don't know. If I knew I think we would have fixed it. I think a lot of it has to do with my play, not playing well down the stretch and fourth quarter drives or last minute throws, just not making it happen. I guess my best is answer to you is probably because I didn't play well enough.
Are injuries just sometimes an explanation and not an excuse as to why things snowball and pile up?
They can be. It just depends on who says injuries were an issue. We have a lot. We've dealt with it in the past. I'm proud of the way guys have stepped-up this year and fought through injuries. We've had other guys step in spite of injuries. It is what it is. We have a lot of them and we just have to hope that we don't have as many next year.
Re: The possibility that a number of guys are playing their last games as Steelers:
I don't like to think negative because to me that's negative thought. You never want to lose anybody and you don't want to think about it being the last game. I'm just not going to think about it. I'm going to cherish the time I get with these guys and go forward from there.
Are you looking forward to working with Todd Haley and this offense next year?
Yeah, we need to continue to grow. We need to get better every week. I know in the offseason it's not like every week is a game week but we need to continue get better and grow in all aspects – our run game, our pass game and every position needs to get a little bit better.
Are you happy with the offensive system?
Yeah, I think it works for us. When we're executing I think it works.
What gives you belief in the core group of the team?
I know the competitiveness in myself. I know it in a lot of the guys around here. I think that we know what we have and what we can have and how good we can be. It's hard for us to really sit here and look at next year because we have a game but we're going to try and start next year, next season, this week, if that makes sense.
Do you want to play the whole game, and do you think all the starters should?
Everyone has their different perspective and they have injuries and whatever. But, I want to play. I want to be out there. I would love to only play a half because we're up so much, but I don't think that's going to happen in an AFC North game because it's always going to be a fight. But, yes, I want to be out there.

Advocates for poor say politicians and enviro groups are waging "War On The Poor"
More than 100 state and federal elected officials and 50 environmental groups targeted for "public outing," leaders say
Leaders from the civil rights, African American, evangelical, agriculture and consumer advocacy communities have launched a national campaign to publicly unmask more than 100 politicians and 50 environmental extremist groups that are waging an immoral "war on the poor" by pushing policies that limit America's ability to produce more America energy and drive energy prices skyward.
The United States Forest Service (USFS) is under fire from both fiscal conservatives and liberal environmentalists - two groups not often on the same side of issues. Fiscal conservatives decry the agency´s spendthrift ways and money-losing programs. Environmentalists claim that its logging, mining and grazing programs damage the natural world. Both groups are correct. Despite bipartisan criticism of current national forest management, year after year passes with no changes made to failed USFS programs. To improve the economic performance and the ecological conditions of public forests, Congress must move beyond its interminable debate and take an entirely new direction - one which builds on the successful forest manag-ment experiments under way in state forests.

Comedy, Romance
High school senior, Sam Montgomery, lives at the beck and call of her self-obsessed step-mother, Fiona, and her sinfully wicked step-sisters, who treat her more like a servant than a member of the family. With her sights set on attending Princeton, Sam finds her less-than-sparkling social life wonderfully complicated when she meets her prince charming online. However, when her anonymous cyber soul mate turns out to be her high school's über-popular quarterback Austin Ames, Sam makes a mad dash back to reality, leaving her cell phone behind just before the clock strikes midnight. Fearing rejection if her secret is revealed, Sam dodges Austin's relentless efforts to discover the identity of his princess. Will Sam let fear hold her back, or will she find the courage to be herself and claim the life she's always wanted? Her chance at "happily ever after" depends on it.

We didn't have "splash pads" when I was a child in Chamblee, Ga., but we had a municipal swimming pool, and we were frequent visitors. I remember afternoons filled with games like "sharks and minnows" that are probably a legal liability these days — at least the way we played — and having enough money from my mom to cover the 50-cent entrance fee, with some left over for a couple of snow cones.
In more recent years, although there's a small community pool where we live, we've traveled over the bridge to Panama City Beach's Aquatic Center for a number of reasons. The facility has a pool, a big one with actual diving boards, along with a smaller pool for children filled with the things kids like, which is to say things that squirt water and allow them to splash.
Water makes kids happy. Parents like happy kids, particularly ones that are occupied enough with other kids and splashy things to give the parents a break for reading a book or just tanning.
Parents like safe kids, and facilities with spongy surfaces and lifeguards and attendants and fences provide that.
And that's why this parent smiled at the news of the opening last Friday of the Martin Luther King Splash Pad at the MLK Recreation Center, 705 E. 14th St. My son often scans the paper on our way to school in the morning to tell me the news he finds interesting, and that story caught his attention.
"We're going, right?" he declared more than asked.
And we are. But I wasn't smiling just because there's a splash pad; I smiled as I thought about what might be as the Panama City Marina redevelopment unfolds.
Any lighthouse controversy aside, we are staring at another opportunity.
The hope here is that whatever the finalized plans end up being for the marina and surrounding properties, it includes some sort of water-oriented activities for kids and their families, like a splash park, as well as recreational opportunities on the bayfront property beside the marina.
I realize my perspective is shaped because I have a child, we enjoy the outdoors and we live in Panama City. We don't need a lighthouse to get us to the marina but appreciate that an attraction like that might draw others.
But at the end of the day, doesn't the success or failure of the project rely not just on tourists, but the back-and-forth traffic from locals? And aren't families the holy grail of most attractions?
We're certainly not jetsetters at the Cazalas household, but we get around the Panhandle, and a couple of weekends ago a soccer tournament took us to Navarre. It was the first travel tournament for us, and it put before my eyes what we've heard so many Panama City Beach officials say: Families that travel for sports spend lots of money.
I knew that, but being a part of it somewhere else drove it home.
For a two-day tournament in Navarre we spent a couple hundred dollars. That included a night in a hotel, the incidentals that come with having a child — snacks, the Band-Aids you forgot to pack, the bathing suit he lost — gas and some food. If, as a group, we hadn't brought our own grill and hotdogs, burgers and deer sausage to eat, the total would've been higher.
And we were one small family of two in a sea of families that traveled from Florida, Alabama and Louisiana. It adds up.
After the last game we wanted a place for the kids to play while the adults unwound before the trip back. Someone remembered seeing a park near the foot of the bridge to Navarre Island, so off we went. It was beautiful, on the water, but it wasn't fancy. It had swings and stuff for the kids to climb on, a basketball court, a visitor's center and, most importantly, a pavilion and benches and an open, grassy area along the water's edge for the kids to play.
I couldn't help but visualize that same thing along the vastly more beautiful and spacious parcel of land next to the Panama City Marina. From there could spring walking trails, perhaps a nice spot to launch non-motorized craft like canoes and kayaks. There are many possibilities.
And it would only be a short walk to downtown — or another splash pad, for that matter.

I got a breach of contract from my rental agency. Grrr. Downstairs needs to be tidy and clean. Breaking WAS tidy and clean. It's all paved under the house and it's where my laundry and garage is along with another "entertainment" area. Though we don't go down there... its not sealed so mozzies come in... let's not talk about rats and vicious possums ...OR the snake.
I live in a stilt house ...
So I spent the day downstairs moving the storage boxes and a few tables... looked exactly the same but different... the agent came by ... popped his head in... said "Looks great!" and left!!!!
But it's the same !
I am left wondering if they are just issuing a breach to break my lease so they can sell the house empty. You can only have so many breaches before the lease is broken. Sooooo annoying. I have taken pics. Dumb. I should have taken pics before.

Bo'ness, properly Borrowstounness, is a town in the Falkirk council area of Scotland, lying on a hillside on the south bank of the Firth of Forth. Prior to 1975 it was in the former county of West Lothian: the postal address, however, is still BO'NESS, West Lothian. Formerly a centre of heavy industry and a major port, it is now primarily a commuter town.
In the Roman period, it lay at the eastern end of the Antonine Wall. The end of the wall probably lay in modern Carriden, the eastern part of the town, where Roman inscriptions have been found. It appears that the fort there was named Veluniate. Other Roman sites have been identified at Muirhouses (pronounced "Murrays") and Kinglass on the south-east side of the town. Kinneil, in the western part of Bo'ness, was mentioned by Bede, who wrote that it was named Pennfahel ("Wall's end") in Pictish and Penneltun in Old English . It was also Pengwawl in old Welsh. The Antonine Wall was named as an extension to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site by UNESCO in July 2007. A Roman fortlet can be seen at Kinneil Estate.
The town was a recognised port from the 16th century; a harbour was authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1707. The harbour, constructed progressively during the 18th century, was extended and complemented by a dry dock in 1881 (works designed by civil engineers Thomas Meik and Patrick Meik). The commercial port (heavily used for the transport of coal and pit props) eventually closed in 1959, badly affected by silting and the gradual downturn of the Scottish coal mining industry. Plans exist to reopen the port.
Bo'ness was a site for coal mining from medieval times. Clay mining was carried out on a smaller scale. The shore was the site of industrial salt making, evaporating sea water over coal fires. The town was home to several sizable potteries , one product being the black wally dogs which sat in pairs over many fireplaces.
Metalworking is still carried out, and the Bo'ness Iron Company's drain covers are to be found in many far flung places.
Present-day attractions in the town include the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway and the Birkhill Fireclay Mine. Kinneil House, built by the powerful Hamilton family in the 15th century, lies on the west edge of the town. In the grounds are a cottage where James Watt worked on his experimental steam engine and the steam cylinder of a Newcomen engine. The remains of an engine house are located in Kinningars Park, off Harbour Road.
Bo'ness has a single secondary school, Bo'ness Academy, and five primary schools, from west to east, Deanburn (previously burnt to the ground, then rebuilt), Kinneil, Bo'ness Public School, St Mary's, and the Grange School. There are a number of churches, including Bo'ness Old Kirk, Carriden, St Andrew's Parish Church, Craigmailen UFC, St. Catharine's Episcopal Church, Bo'ness Apostolic Church, Bo'ness Baptist Church, The Bo'ness Salvation Army and St. Mary's RC, a modernist design of 1962 by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia.
Bo'ness is set for major regeneration with the announcement in November 2004 of a £150m investment by Dutch company ING to transform the harbour, docks and foreshore with a marina, shopping and housing development. The town centre is also set for a 're-vamp' through the THI (Townscape Heritage Initiative) with a £5m investment funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Falkirk Council, Scottish Enterprise Forth Valley together with Euro funding. The plans have also been given a boost through independent research by the National Economic Foundation which showed Bo'ness in third place in a "top 10" of towns which had managed to retain their individual character. Only Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and Peebles in the Scottish Borders were ahead of Bo'ness in the table. The Hippodrome Cinema, Bo'ness in the town centre is undergoing renovation and refurbishment and is due to open in mid/late 2008.

Midwest Living Review
When you drive down the lane leading to the farm where Bill and Jeanne Magaw create their kinetic art, you'll probably hear their Angus cattle lowing and see goats playfully scampering in the barnyard. Known to the international art world as the Magaws of Boston (a tiny country village near Richmond, Indiana), the couple has lived and worked on the farm where Bill was born for more than 40 years. Their yard actually doubles as a gallery for their larger metal sculptures, and one of their outbuildings serves as the atelier where they weld fountains, sculptures and other pieces that use the forces of wind and water to create movement. Although the Magaws have an international reputation, you can buy many of their colorful works for a few hundred dollars. "We want to do things that people in our Midwest can afford to buy and live with," Jeanne says. Visitors are welcome at the couple's farm, but do call ahead to make sure they are at home. The Magaws' works exhibit internationally, sometimes as far away as Russia, and five of their wind machines were recently installed in a new garden in China.

- Advanced Features
User management/group management
Proper data and user management is key to a successful business. With My Cloud Business Series, it is easy to grant users access to the NAS, create groups and give access to those groups, and manage the amount of storage users/groups have access to.
Microsoft Active Directory support
Take advantage of centralized account management to reduce overhead and IT spending. Add My Cloud Business Series to your Active Directory (AD) server for simplified and centralized management, as well as easy access for employees with one set of domain accounts. Employees can use a single account to access various services with ease.
Distributed File System (DFS)
Connect My Cloud Business Series NAS to a Microsoft Windows server to organize many distributed SMB file shares into a DFS for improved data availability in the event of failure or heavy workloads.
Volume virtualization using iSCSI targets
Manage storage over long distances and transfer data over LANs, WANs or the Internet by creating a Storage Area Network (SAN). My Cloud Business Series NAS allow you to create and manage iSCSI targets, similar to a local hard drive, that is accessed over a network rather than locally. The iSCSI target is protected by the underlying RAID structure of the My Cloud Business Series NAS.
Jumbo frame support
My Cloud Business Series support jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes. These large IP frames are used to increase performance over supported networks. Increases in data transfer speeds only occur if every device on your network supports jumbo frames.
Link aggregation and failover support
Combine multiple network connections to increase data transfer past a single connection and provide redundancy in the event of a failed connection. This is also known as bonding, and refers to the use of two LAN NICs present in your NAS and two cables connected to your router simultaneously, improving reliability.
iPv6 ready
My Cloud Business Series support iPv6, keeping your NAS up-to-date with the latest Internet Protocol.
UPS support (USB and network)
USB UPS: A supported UPS device that is connected to a My Cloud Business Series NAS via USB cable can detect a power loss and gracefully shut down power.
Network UPS: Network UPS devices can be used when there is a single UPS device and multiple My Cloud Business Series units. One My Cloud Business Series NAS can act as a "Network UPS server" and connect to the UPS device via USB or network (depending on the device). The network UPS server obtains UPS information and relays it to the other "client" Business Series NAS.
Simple Network Management Protocol, a protocol for managing devices on a network, allows My Cloud Business Series NAS to be used in a managed environment. IT administrators who need to monitor multiple network devices, including My Cloud Business Series via SNMP should download the document available here.
Real-time resource monitors
Provide up-to-date information on My Cloud Business Series resources, including CPU percentage, network utilization and RAM usage.
Virtual volumes
Virtual volumes simplify scalability by allowing you to map iSCSI targets on other network storage devices and present them as shares on your My Cloud Business Series device.My Cloud Business Series provides comprehensive data protection options to secure your data from loss.
Backup that's right for your business
Automatically backup all the computers on your network and get flexible restore points for file version recovery. PC users, WD SmartWare™ Pro offers options for how, when and where your files get backed up.
Mac users, utilize all the features of Apple Time Machine backup software to protect your data.Back up to integrated cloud solutions

Amazon S3
Amazon S3 Backup and Restore feature allows you to back up data directly to your Amazon S3 account. Amazon S3 gives you peace of mind when used as an offsite backup, should anything happen to the data stored on your My Cloud Business Series NAS.Learn more
RAID 0 - Speed
RAID 0 mode provides disk striping across all drives in the RAID drive group. RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy but does provide the best performance of any RAID levels. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller segments and stripes the data segments across each drive in the drive group.
RAID 1 - Data protection
Set the system to data protection mode (also known as mirrored mode or RAID 1) and the capacity is divided in half. Half of the capacity is used to store your data and half is used for a duplicate copy. If one drive goes down your data is protected because it's duplicated.
RAID 5 - Data protection and speed (available on 4-bay NAS)
In systems with three or more drives we recommend that you set the system to RAID 5. This gives you the best of both worlds: fast performance by striping data across all drives; data protection by dedicating a quarter of each drive to fault tolerance leaving three quarters of the system capacity available for data storage.
RAID 10 or RAID 1+0 - High reliability with high performance (available on 4-bay NAS)
RAID 10 delivers very high I/O rates by striping RAID 1 (mirrored) segments. This RAID mode is good for business critical database management solutions that require maximum performance and high fault tolerance. A system set to RAID 10 yields half the total capacity of all the drives in the array.
JBOD & spanning
JBOD is the use of one or more drives not in a RAID configuration but managed as separate logical volumes. Spanning is the combination of drives in a linear fashion to create one large logical volume. The advantage of using this mode is that you can add more drive without having to reformat the system.
Energy-Saving FeaturesDisk spin-down
Set disk spin-down after as little as 10 minutes, saving runtime energy.
Use WD Quick View to wake My Cloud Business Series NAS without having to physically push a button.Automatic power recovery
This feature automatically restarts the My Cloud Business Series NAS from an unexpected power-failure shutdown.
Scheduled power on/off
Set your own customized schedule to power on your My Cloud Business Series NAS on a daily basis to save power when not in use.Advanced ServingFile server
Get shared storage for PC and Mac computer files that can be accessed from other workstations that are on the same network.

Speed Week: Fiesta ST vs Formula Ford
The Fiesta ST and Formula Ford: two cars emphatically made from The Right Stuff...
Posted: 13 Dec 2013
What we have here are a pair of have-a-go heroes. Good, honest, blue-collar worker bees, never happier than when putting 100 per cent effort in. There are other parallels here, too. Both are Fords, for instance, with four wheels outside and a steering wheel inside. I'm being facetious, of course, but there is a bit of genuine overlap - both use small-capacity turboed EcoBoost engines.
The Fiesta ST 1.6's is, or rather was, familiar. It used to have 175bhp and snick under the seven-seconds-to-60mph barrier. Now, thanks to Mountune's ministrations, it has 212bhp and a more liberal approach to acceleration. But the Formula Ford has one cylinder and 600cc less swept volume and produces very nearly as much: 202bhp. It also weighs less than half as much.
Equipped with a set of sticky tyres at the end of spindly, spidery suspension, a cockpit full of unmarked toggle switches and a seat padded with some folded cardboard and someone's fleece, it has none of the self-conscious beautification of the BAC Mono. But, once you've got it rolling, got past the slow-speed chunter and whine, you discover just how little you have to do in here to make yourself go tremendously fast. Everything is on top of everything else (including, most disconcertingly, the brake and accelerator), the gearlever nestles by your right forearm and requires just a clutch-free jab or punch, and if I had to add more than half a turn of steering at any point, I wasn't aware of it.
What I was aware of were the cornering speeds. They were dizzying. Sat wide in your vision, the front wheels dance to your tune, and you feel like a mosquito, buzzing around, irritating the bigger cars with your whine and your reactions. And entirely unsplattable, no matter how mighty the swat. In Stig's hands, the Formula Ford posted a faster lap time than anything else, and the fold of his arms indicated he'd have gone faster still if he'd been allowed to warm the tyres properly first.
The Fiesta was less fleet around Charade - the least fleet of all, in fact - and so was entirely splattable, but that never, ever got it down. It never wearied or lost heart. Instead, it tucked itself into the next available corner, cocked a wheel in the air and tried its very, very hardest to do better. It rolled a bit, of course, but this was friendly, lurch-free roll, allowing the ST to take up a heavily loaded stance through corners before naffing off down the next straight.
And there was adjustability on offer, too. Small lifts on the throttle meant you could nip tighter into the apex, while larger ones would cock a wheel, and brutal ones (accompanied by some steering savagery) would get the rear end moving. You're thinking you'd never drive like that, but, trust me, in a Fiesta ST, you would. You might even have a jab at the handbrake.
You might also be thinking that you wouldn't go near the Formula Ford. Too intimidating. Well, it was for all of us initially, too. But overcome that (and the cockpit discomfort), and you're into something that's just pure fun. Until you hit brake and accelerator together. That's a bit of a heart-stopper. And the brakes do get a bit soft after a while.
But this pair of Fords, our two tiddly lap-time brackets, were universally loved. What locked them together and proved the closeness of their relationship wasn't the speed or ability they exhibited, but the pert, fun-loving way they communicated with their drivers. The Fiesta ST and Formula Ford: two cars emphatically made from The Right Stuff.
