Lost Sounds
Two years ago, you couldn't turn a corner without running into a garage-rock band. Any group that came close to a "garage" description jumped on the bandwagon, but while those bands fell after the fad bottomed out, Memphis' Lost Sounds remained hidden, and released three albums of what's better described as bomb-shelter rock. Now that the garage-rock clouds have cleared, the members of LS poke their heads out of the shelter with a self-titled album that casts some catchy sunshine on their post-apocalyptic new wave. Granted, the synth-driven quartet still relies on a fusion of the B-52's and Marilyn Manson that would better fit a zombie flick than a Hives album, but this time, the B-52's influence tilts the scale with a new stress on danceable singles. "I Get Nervous" is a smart, complex mesh of poppy hooks, while "And You Dance" and "Clones Don't Love" are flat-out rockers that make similar new-wavers theSTART sound like a folk band. A few tracks wear thin quickly, as do the "dark" lyrics that are neither tough nor cheeky, but lead shouters Jay Lindsey and Alicja Trout trade off in spastic fashion and make even the worst moments on Lost Sounds worth finding.

One of the best hundreds by a New Zealander in one-day international cricket has fittingly led to history being made in South Africa today.
Kane Williamson crafted as good an innings as we have seen by a New Zealand batsman in the last decade, finishing unbeaten on 145 from 136 balls before New Zealand fielded their way to a 27-run victory over South Africa in Kimberley.
Having now won the first two matches in the three-match series, New Zealand secured their first series victory in any format in 60 years of playing international cricket in South Africa.
"I'm not going to underplay it," captain Brendon McCullum said.
"It's a phenomenal effort, really, to come over here as the No 9 ranked team in the world up against the (No 3) team in their own conditions and be 2-0 up is incredibly satisfying. It will probably go down as one of our biggest ever wins in the limited overs game.
"We're very pleased, and it's a nice way to finish off the tour after a pretty tough time."
McCullum praised the team's character and fighting spirit, which "allowed us to get through", though he obviously made special mention of Williamson's knock.
"Kane Williamson's innings was as good as I've ever seen from a New Zealander in one-day cricket and a few guys backed it up around him as well.
"The way we were in the field, the guys were outstanding. I'm very proud of the boys, they've shown a lot of character.
"Hopefully all the fans back home who have stuck by us, this is a little bit of love for them."
Admittedly, South Africa were under-strength, but New Zealand deserve much credit for the way they've fought back from losing positions in both matches, particularly after what transpired in the test series. Their fielding today, effecting a record-equalling five run outs, was exceptional.
But it was Williamson who gave his team every chance of wrapping up the series.
He strode to the crease with New Zealand still without a run on the board into the third over and built a magnificent innings.
The diminutive right-hander was still there at the end, leading a late surge. His third ODI hundred included 17 fours and one six, struck off the final ball of the innings when he lofted Morne Morkel over long on to get New Zealand to 279-8.
The 22-year-old struggled with cramp in the latter stages but he still regularly found the boundary as he posted the equal sixth highest score by a New Zealander in ODIs.
"It was obviously nice to contribute like that to a win in such an important game," he said, before modestly deflecting praise onto his batting partners and the fielding effort in the second innings.
"The second half of the match was the key, with all those run-outs."
South Africa looked in control of the chase when Graeme Smith (66) and Colin Ingram (79) were at the crease. Ones and twos came easily, the bad balls were disposed of and New Zealand were powerless to stop the run-a-ball scoring rate.
The pair put on 129 from 132 balls for the second wicket before Smith was run out after an excellent throw from the deep by James Franklin, which sparked a huge collapse.
Stand-in skipper Faf du Plessis also ran himself out, after a direct hit by Nathan McCullum, and when Ingram holed out to BJ Watling at mid off from McCullum's bowling, the hosts had lost 3-13 in four overs.
South Africa's inexperienced middle order was exposed and New Zealand capitalised. McCullum, Franklin and Mitchell McClenaghan put the squeeze on - Farhaan Behardien and David Miller scored 20 runs from the five-over powerplay - and McCullum's day got even better when he deflected a drive onto the wickets at the non-strikers end to run out Miller.
By this stage the rate was close to 10 an over and when Franklin chipped out Ryan McClaren, then Martin Guptill's direct hit found Rory Kleinveldt short, the fourth run out of five, South Africa had lost 6-49 in 14 overs and the match was gone.
Kyle Mills was outstanding with the ball, taking 2-29 from nine as South Africa were bowled out for 252 in the final over.
Du Plessis was livid with the running between the wickets, labelling it "unacceptable".
"We didn't play well again. I thought they got 20 runs too many and then after a fantastic start with the bat, to have five run-outs is unacceptable," he said.
"When you get into that situation (167-1) you should win the game so we as the batting unit will accept that responsibility.
"It was an important one-day series for us, we want to be up there in the rankings as well, but we didn't play well. Hopefully the younger guys can learn from this."
Du Plessis, too, heaped the plaudits on Williamson's knock.
"He showed what to do on this wicket. He took his time up front and played brilliantly. You could see he was cramping but he didn't throw his wicket away. It was a great knock."
Williamson found an ally in Grant Elliott and the pair repaired the innings superbly with a 127-run partnership for the third wicket, from 130 balls.
Williamson was the dominant partner but the recalled Elliott's contribution of 48 from 63 balls was vital.
The middle order didn't fire, though, and wickets tumbled regularly. At 211-7 in the 42nd over, the Kiwis were in danger of being bowled out.
Enter two of the senior pros, Nathan McCullum (19) and Mills (15 not out), who each combined with Williamson to put on 34 runs, from 38 and 15 balls respectively.
New Zealand slammed 54 runs from the final five overs, and 31 from the last two.
Morkel, in for the rested Dale Steyn, suffered in the onslaught and ended with 3-71.
Already missing the likes of Jacques Kallis (rested) and AB de Villiers (suspended), South Africa were robbed of Hashim Amla's services after the classy batsman was ruled out through injury, while Colin Munro made his ODI debut for New Zealand as Rob Nicol was dropped.

No hunger strike by soldiers of Rajputana Rifles: MoD
Jammu: Denying reports of soldiers of Rajputana Rifles going on "hunger strike" in protest against the killing of two Army jawans by Pakistani troops, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) on Friday claimed such incidents do not "demoralise" the force.
"The Indian Army is totally professional, disciplined and highly motivated force, which handles all situations in a professional manner at all times, including in Jammu and Kashmir," Public Relation Officer (PRO), MoD, Jammu, Col R K Palta said here today.
"Ours is a highly disciplined and motivated Army, and such incidents do not demoralise our men," he said.
Rejecting local media reports that the soldiers of Rajputana Rifles went on a hunger strike against the killing of their two colleagues on LoC in Poonch, Col Palta said "the morale of the personnel is absolutely high, as at all times".
"The report is factually incorrect and totally baseless. There is no such incident of jawans going on hunger strike in protest against the killing of two soldiers," the PRO said.

Reaching all modalities for student learning can be tricky in an online environment, where student engagement is difficult to measure and extrinsic motivation harder to instill. Choosing appropriate course tools goes a long way toward providing enough varied activities to match multiple learning styles, and maximize the chance that your students have mastered the material.
A major component of face-to-face classes that needs translation to the online environment is the social and interpersonal element, which some learning theories argue is crucial to learning. If a subset of students learn better collaboratively, how might their interactions be approximated in the online environment?
One common answer is to use discussion boards in Webcourses. This becomes particularly valuable when students are required to make discussion postings, since otherwise there may be little activity. Likewise, some instructors require students not only to make initial posts, but also to comment on the posts by other students as well. To guarantee substantive postings, it may be advisable to grade each post and response, though this might require additional work by the instructor.
Also available are tools for live chat, a "who's online" notification, and email within Webcourses. If student to student communication is woven tightly enough into a curriculum, one or more of these tools may be worthwhile pursuing.

It is still unclear how many people were injured on Monday's accident involving two cranes on a pontoon in Alphen an den Rijn, town officials said on Monday evening. Earlier, officials said 20 people had been injured when the cranes, which were carrying part of a new bridge, toppled over, hitting the buildings in the town centre. That total now appears to have been an over-estimation, news agency ANP said. So far one man has been freed from under the rubble and emergency service workers are searching for other victims. In total, the residents of 51 properties have been told they cannot sleep at home on Monday night, broadcaster Nos said. In addition, a number of properties are without gas supplies because the gas has been switched off following a leak. [banner] Alphen aan den Rijn mayor Liesbeth Spies has returned from holiday to deal with the crisis. The accident happened at the Juliana bridge, which is undergoing extensive renovation, broadcaster Nos said. The piece of bridge and the cranes hit a shop selling second hand goods and a shop selling artists supplies as well as other properties. More >
Dutch beaches are again safe
Red flags along some of the Netherlands most popular North Sea beaches were taken down on Monday afternoon after government officials said the algae bloom had disappeared. A stretch of beach between Scheveningen and Katwijk was closed on Sunday while experts tried to determine what had caused the red clouds in the sea. Long jams developed on some Dutch coastal roads in Zeeland and Noord-Holland on Monday as holidaymakers tried to avoid beaches where swimming had been banned. [banner] The algae was later identified as Noctiluca scintillans, commonly known as the sea sparkle. Although not toxic, this large single cell plankton can cause skin irritations. Monday was one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures expected to reach 28 degrees on the coast. More >
Police industrial action continues
Dutch police unions on Monday began a new round of industrial action in support of their pay claim, this time by only dealing with emergency calls. This means officers will respond to calls involving serious physical violence, armed robberies and murder but not less urgent cases such as vandalism and noise nuisance, news agency ANP says. The new campaign will last seven weeks, unless justice minister Ard van der Steur comes up with what the unions say is a 'reasonable offer'. The unions are taking action on Monday this week and Monday and Tuesday next week, adding a full day until the entire seven days are covered. [banner] The government has reached a deal with civil service unions for an offer which it says is worth 5.05% plus a €500 bonus. The police unions, however, say the deal is made up of a 2.85% rise over two years plus 2.2% from changes in the pension policy which may affect eventual pension payouts. The police unions said last week they also plan to disrupt the start of the Dutch football season by striking during the coming weekend's matches. The only match which will not be affected is the Feyenoord-Utrecht tie in Rotterdam on August 8. However, on Monday The Hague city council said it was cancelling Saturday's match between ADO Den Haag and PSV because of the lack of policing and risk to public order. More >
UN criticises Dutch detention monitoring
The Netherlands needs to do more to make the official body that monitors prisons and detention centres fully independent, effective and in line with the country's international obligations, UN experts said at the end of an official visit. The NPM was set up in 2011 following the approval of a UN charter on detainee rights. The Dutch ombudsman left the NPM last year, saying he feared inspectors were too close to ministers and that this was threatening their independence. That warning triggered the UN visit, news agency ANP says. [banner] 'The fight against inhuman or degrading treatment is a continuous process and the designation of a national monitoring body is not the end but the beginning,' said Mari Amos, head of a three-member delegation from the UN which visited the Netherlands at the end of July. The delegation said more work needs to be done to make the NPM fully independent and effective in line with the UN anti-torture convention and other relevant international standards. In particular, there needs to be more political support and a solid legal base for the monitoring body, Amos said.

The coming days will offer great conditions to watch the Perseids meteor shower, the Dutch astronomers' association said on Monday. The best night to see the shower will be on Thursday, August 13, when up to 60 shooting stars will be seen an hour, the astronomers said. The meteors are best seen in a dark sky and a new moon on August 14 will create perfect conditions for watching. The Perseids meteor shower occurs every year between July 17 and August 24. The Perseids are made up of tiny space debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle. [banner] More >

Middle East
A once unimaginable movement is emerging from within Israel's insular Orthodox Jewish community: homosexuals demanding to be accepted and embraced, no matter what the Bible says.
Living alongside a secular majority that has largely embraced the Western gay rights movement, Israel's religious gays are increasingly rejecting age-old dictates to ignore their attraction, abstain from sex or undergo therapy that supposedly will make them straight.
A decade ago, says Yuval Cherlow, a heterosexual Orthodox rabbi, he would have dismissed the phenomenon as "two or four crazy people that are assimilating into Western world culture."
Then he was invited to a meeting of Orthodox homosexuals. More than 50 people turned up, nearly all graduates of Orthodox religious seminaries. Cherlow said he began to realize the issue had to be addressed, and he now advises religious gay groups.
In Orthodox Judaism, as with traditional streams of Islam and Christianity, homosexuality is generally frowned upon. Gay observant Jews may be ostracized by their families, while in the Muslim world, gays can face violence. In Iran, for instance, homosexuality is punishable by death.
Yet in Israel, homosexuals openly serve in the army, same-sex couples get some benefits, the country markets itself as a gay-friendly tourist destination, and Jerusalem has an annual gay parade. More liberal streams of Judaism embrace gay couples and even gay rabbis.
Now, the idea that one can be both gay and religious is catching on even at the fringes of Orthodoxy, a socially conservative, entrenched culture that prides itself on its differences from the modern secular world. Today, there are gay Orthodox prayer groups, support services and a large web presence.
In March, a religious gay group called Havruta celebrated Purim at a gay-friendly nightclub in central Jerusalem with a reading of the Megillah, the traditional scroll read on this Jewish religious holiday, drawing implicit parallels between the persecution of Jews in ancient Persia and the struggle of Jewish gays against intolerance today.
The event attracted about 40 yarmulke-clad men, mostly in their 20s and early 30s, and a handful of women. Like secular Israelis who celebrate Purim by dressing up, they donned elaborate costumes and sipped beer.
But religious gays know that to be taken seriously by rabbinical authorities, they must carefully frame their demands within the boundaries of Halacha, or traditional Jewish law. Most steer clear of asking for religious recognition for their relationships.
As a result, the movement is fractured and bogged down by internal clashes over where to draw the line between respecting tradition and appeasing intolerance.
Most conservative is decade-old Atzat Nefesh, "soul counselling," the first Israeli group to openly address same-sex attraction within the religious world. The group operates a hotline and website, and believes same-sex attraction can be overcome by so-called conversion therapy.
Its CEO, Rabbi Shlomo Goldreich, claims it works for more than 80 percent of those the group refers to therapists. But critics note that not all of its providers are licensed or trained, and that all major medical and psychological associations reject conversion therapy.
"We know of three people who tried, and eventually took their lives," said Ron Yosef, an openly gay Orthodox rabbi from the coastal city of Netanya.
In 2008 Yosef created Hod, a Hebrew acronym meaning "religious homosexuals," and compiled a referral list of therapists who are religious, licensed and compliant with modern mental health guidelines. The group's principles say gays shouldn't be blamed, ostracized, forced to marry women, or discouraged from observing other Jewish laws.
Yosef said Hod has received 3,700 phone and email inquiries - the vast majority from people 25 or younger. He added that no one left his congregation when he declared his sexuality in April 2009.
Although Yosef fervently rejects the notion that gays should be "cured" or ostracized, he also insists that Jewish laws be respected and that gays abstain from biblically forbidden sex acts and same-sex marriage.
That approach has gained praise from some conservatives who previously avoided addressing homosexuality, and support from of Aharon Feldman, a prominent ultra-Orthodox rabbi. But it also stirs criticism from liberals that Yosef is caving in to homophobic rabbis.
A third group is Havruta ("fellowship"), which is trying to create a more pluralistic sense of community by holding social, cultural and religious events for Orthodox gays such as the Purim event.
"We stay religious because that's who we are, the way we were raised and want to raise our children," said Daniel Jonas, a 29-year-old board member. "But we won't stay in the closet, because we want to live."
Havruta considers itself a religious organization, but accepts all who respect Orthodoxy. It says more than 400 people subscribe to its email list.
Some, however, think Havruta goes too far. One of its founders recently broke away and founded a group called Kamoha ("like you").
The man, requesting anonymity, said that although Havruta was his home for years, he felt estranged once it started pushing Orthodox Judaism's boundaries by participating in a mixed-gender prayer group and Jerusalem's gay parade.
"I don't say that you need to stay in the closet and hide it all your life, but there is nothing to be proud of," he said.
Kamoha has about 100 members on its email list and is averaging 25 attendees at events.
In March it launched a therapy fund to help young Jews identify if they can become straight - and if not, to help them cope with their homosexuality. It also hopes to offer a matchmaking service for gay men and lesbians seeking a normative family.
Havruta and other groups consider those types of services to be potentially harmful to the cause and bordering on self-hating.
One factor common to all the groups navigating the intersection between homosexuality and Orthodox Judaism in Israel is a robust Internet presence, with web forums, email lists and online libraries. The rise of the Internet has offered an inexpensive, uncensored and anonymous tool to organize a population that knows that being publicly outed could lead to rejection by their families or communities.
"These are people in our society who are really in trouble," Cherlow said. "This is a new question. We didn't face it before, and as rabbis, we are searching for the real thing to say."

text: Daddy's Gone to War: The Second World War in the Lives of America's Children By William M. Tuttle Jr. No cover image Daddy's Gone to War: The Second World War in the Lives of America's Children By William M. Tuttle Jr. Read preview Synopsis Looking out a second-story window of her family's quarters at the Pearl Harbor naval base on December 7, 1941, eleven-year-old Jackie Smith could see not only the Rising Sun insignias on the wings of attacking Japanese bombers, but the faces of the pilots inside. Most American children on the home front during the Second World War saw the enemy only in newsreels and the pages of Life Magazine, but from Pearl Harbor on, "the war"--with its blackouts, air raids, and government rationing--became a dramatic presence in all of their lives. Thirty million Americans relocated, 3,700,000 homemakers entered the labor force, sparking a national debate over working mothers and latchkey children, and millions of enlisted fathers and older brothers suddenly disappeared overseas or to far-off army bases. By the end of the war, 180,000 American children had lost their fathers. In "Daddy's Gone to War", William M. Tuttle, Jr., offers a fascinating and often poignant exploration of wartime America, and one of generation's odyssey from childhood to middle age. The voices of the home front children are vividly present in excerpts from the 2,500 letters Tuttle solicited from men and women across the country who are now in their fifties and sixties. From scrap-collection drives and Saturday matinees to the atomic bomb and V-J Day, here is the Second World War through the eyes of America's children. Women relive the frustration of always having to play nurses in neighborhood war games, and men remember being both afraid and eager to grow up and go to war themselves. (Not all were willing to wait. Tuttle tells of one twelve year old boy who strode into an Arizona recruiting office and declared, "I don't need my mother's consent...I'm a midget.") Former home front children recall as though it were yesterday the pain of saying good-bye, perhaps forever, to an enlisting father posted overseas and the sometimes equally unsettling experience of a long-absent father's return. A pioneering effort to reinvent the way we look at history and childhood, "Daddy's Gone to War" views the experiences of ordinary children through the lens of developmental psychology. Tuttle argues that the Second World War left an indelible imprint on the dreams and nightmares of an American generation, not only in childhood, but in adulthood as well. Drawing on his wide-ranging research, he makes the case that America's wartime belief in democracy and its rightful leadership of the Free World, as well as its assumptions about marriage and the family and the need to get ahead, remained largely unchallenged until the tumultuous years of the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam and Watergate. As the hopes and expectations of the home front children changed, so did their country's. In telling the story of a generation, Tuttle provides a vital missing piece of American cultural history.

Tips for a Seamless Hand Applique
Try these simple steps to reduce background fabric pucker and wrinkle in hand-applique projects.
Use these techniques to combat problems with background fabric puckering and wrinkling around hand applique:
- Don't pull stitches too tightly when hand stitching. Stitching should be taut but not so tight that it causes the background fabric to pucker.
- Try using a paper foundation instead of traditional needle turn applique.
- Press the applique motif face down on a thick towel to avoid pressing in creases and wrinkles.
- When it comes to trimming away the background fabric in applique, there is no right or wrong answer. One way is to leave the backing on smaller or narrower designs and remove it for larger designs. If planning to hand quilt the design, cut away the backing fabric to alleviate the bulk.

- Here is a second on Texas State Parks allowing
I have "hung out" in several without any problem - in
fact I have asked and been told it was fine.
Among the parks that were no problem were Enchanted
Rock, Pedernales Falls, McKinney Falls, Tejas,
Sommerville, and Goliad. Because of the wide variety
of terrain, it made sense to me to call ahead and ask
about trees - some farther west have very few.
I hope that helps!

Gateway FX6803 Core i7 930 Gaming Desktop PC - Benchmarks - Super PiThe Spotted Cow returns, offering a mid-range gaming system for under $1500.
Super Pi
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.5 Mod XS
Developer Homepage: http://pw1.netcom.com/~hjsmith/Pi/Super_Pi.html
Product Homepage: http://pw1.netcom.com/~hjsmith/Pi/Super_Pi.html
Developed by some folks from the University of Tokyo, Super PI is a small utility that does just as the name implies. It figures PI to a set number of decimal places. Since PI is an infinite number to the right of the decimal point, the utility measures the time it takes to figure a set number of places. It runs the calculations a set number of times and gives a time for the completion of the task. This is a simple and effective way to measure the raw number crunching power of the processor being used to compile the results.
The box calculated pi out to the 1 millionth digit in 13.6 seconds.

Loud & NoisyPosted Jul 17, 2015
Pros: location was ideal for area.
Cons: fixing bathroom drain, and relocating the a/c unit away from beds
Location: restaurants, beach, all in walking distance.
Hotel was loud and noisy construction outside, side stair doors was always open could hear noise in our room. Bathtub didn't drain was standing in a pond of water. Hotel bar was always asking to close out tab seem like they didn't us to leave it open while we relaxed outside. Air condition unit points right are your face with cold air couldn't get a comfortable sleep, we had to have unit on as it was hot. Refrigerator didn't close correctly.

A follow up to the critically acclaimed II, Brooklyn's Nude Beach will release their third studio full-length as a double-LP titled 77 our October 21 on Don Giovanni Records. Known for their 70s flecked bangers and epic guitar riffs, Nude Beach evoke summertime basement party euphoria.
Call their brand of rock 'n' roll whatever you like, but it's nothing short of eloquent, ingeniously performed and classically constructed. Lead by driving percussion and bouncing guitar licks, "For You" is an irresistibly catchy track perfect for driving with the windows down on a warm summer day. "Can't Get Enough" is an anthemic track strapped with psychedelic guitar and a relentlessly catchy chorus.
Wailing guitar over emotive soulful vocals burst open "I Can't Keep The Tears From Falling," a razor-edged rock 'n roll jam. The track which premiered with SPIN is out now at iTunes and available to stream HERE. We encourage you to post & share.
Dominating any room with their electrifying live show, the band has shared stages with The Men, Dinosaur Jr., Mac DeMarco, Speedy Ortiz and many more. Stay tuned for tour details and more news coming soon.

Apple to publish App Store Review Guidelines and relax developer restrictions
It's been a constant bone of contention for app developers worldwide, what exactly does Apple look for when it's deciding on an application's suitability for official distribution? Or, more likely, why has Apple turned down an app?
Obviously, sauciness or violence are two points that stick in Steve Jobs' craw, but those are merely the most obvious barriers for the Apple stamp of approval. Many other apps have been turned away, often with confusing reasoning.
Therefore, Apple is to publish its official App Store Review Guidelines; a document that reveals each part of the process undertaken before accepting an app or not. It will list all the dos and don'ts for developers and programmers when creating Apple device-compatible software.
"For the first time we are publishing the App Store Review Guidelines to help developers understand how we review submitted apps," says the Apple press website. "We hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store".
Additionally, the company is relaxing certain developers' restrictions to help the creation process: "In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need".
So far, there are over 250,000 apps available, and iTunes has been host to 6.5billion app downloads. The App Store has given out over $1 billion in royalties to developers.
Are you a developer who has has an app turned down? If so, let us know more in the comments below...

Recent USVI/St. Croix reviews
"We have been back three times to St. Croix. We stay at this condo each time and it's very nice. The beach is all ours and never has more than a few people at any one time. This condo steps right onto the sand and is right in front of the ocean. Not all condos have this access. The enclosed patio is secure and you will spend a lot of time here! The breeze off of the ocean is perfect and you can sleep with the doors open at night and hear the ocean. The King size beds are lovely with a very high quality mattress and the pillows are so nice! I want to buy some for my house! Staff is very nice and helpful and will check in with you to see what you may need when you arrive. The pool is so clean and beautiful. The condo association cleans the beach up daily. Snorkeling area is right there! With a reef just beyond for scuba diving. A nice grocery store, Food Town, is a very short distance to this condo, as well as some great restaurants on the North Shore. Downtown Christiansted is a short ride."Guest: smilesofec Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 7, 2015View listing
"We just returned from a wonderful week at Lime Tree Villa. This was our first visit to St. Croix and it was very helpful that they arrange for someone to meet us at the airport and a Jeep rental with Centerline. Villa Madeleine is located on the East End of St. Croix and it was very quiet (especially in June). Our family was looking for a place to relax and enjoy each other - Lime Tree Villa provided! The location of this unit is perfect - being at the top and having Buck Island views. I think the location also provided for amazing breezes 24 hours a day. We spent almost our whole week at the pool - it was very private and pool floats and toys are provided! Our son LOVED having the separate bedroom area and of course his parents did too! I'm not sure the separate bedroom layout would work with small children, but with a teenager or another couple it truly is perfect. The bedrooms had AC which we ran at night. Villa Madeleine provides night security and we would see them walking around at night checking on things with a flashlight. This is a plus! Pack light - there is a washer and dryer and we spent most days in our swimsuits. My husband and 15 year old son played golf at The Reef twice - they loved how quick it was to get to the course ad the friendliest of the staff. We also spent a day at the Buccaneer Resort - I enjoyed the beach while the boys golfed. We did our grocery shopping at Seaside Market and were able to prepare most of our meals at the villa. Yes the kitchen is small, but it is adequate! TLC restaurant at the Villa entrance has yummy homemade bread and great sandwiches and salads. What a wonderful Island escape for our family! We loved our visit to St. Croix and our stay at Lime Tree."Guest: William G. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 28, 2015View listing
"We looked at several rentals on Home Away as well as other popular sites, and decided that C303 Colony Cove looked great on line and had everything we needed for our week long stay. We were absolutely thrilled. This unit is all we could have wanted and more. The view was beautiful, the pool close by, the beach right there and everyone was so nice. We knew that the bedrooms had air conditioning but we were a little concerned about there not being an AC unit in the living/kitchen area, but it was not a problem. Open the huge sliding glass doors, close the screens and open the bedroom windows both top and bottom, and the breeze through the unit was wonderful and you spend all of your time sitting outside looking at the beautiful landscaping and the sea so there not being an AC unit in the front of the condo was not a problem for us. We have stayed in many different places on St. Croix and can honestly say that the owners have made sure all of the comforts and items you need for a wonderful vacation are in the unit. From the dishes and kitchen utensils and appliances to the towels and bedding, to the small coolers for your take along picnic lunches, the unit is perfect! We will definitely stay here again and if you are not sure about renting this unit, please don't hesitate. You could not do better for the location, amenities or views and the price was also a plus. These owners do a great job. If we could give it more than 5 stars, we would."Guest: Susan R. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 5, 2015View listing
"We were looking for something with a waterfront view with a little beach. The condo is on the third level overlooking the bay with Christiansted in the view off to the East. It is a little hard to find as the streets are not marked. With the help of a smart phone and the address you will get there. Upon arrival the complimentary bottle of rum was well received. The front door has a cast iron screen that locks so we opened both sets of sliding doors to the Lanai and left the front door open with the screen closed. The sea breeze was wonderful and never rested while we were there. We left the doors and windows open from the time we arrived until we left and just enjoyed the breeze. Not once getting warm enough to warrant the AC. The condo was well furnished, clean and very comfortable. The BBQ grills and pool area were an added bonus. The location was such that it was only minutes from any where on the island. You can snorkel in front of the condo but the better snorkel areas were on the south side of the island only a short drive. This condo came with all the snorkel gear we needed."Guest: robert m.

Can Marijuana Help Keep Diabetes in Check?
Joseph Adams / Flickr
Of all the good things marijuana can do for you -- enhance your hearing at reggae concerts, make you fall in love with otherwise unattractive people, inspire you say profound things while sitting in a hot tub -- this one is pretty amazing.
Researchers using five years worth of National Health and Nutrition Survey data compared 579 regular cannabis users to thousands of non-users:
Researchers out of Boston compared insulin and glucose levels in the subjects and found that those who had used weed in the past month "had lower levels of fasting insulin and ... higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)," according to a summary.
(HDL is known as "good cholesterol").
Wow. The implication is that marijuana could be used to control blood sugar levels in diabetics:
Current users had 16% lower fasting insulin levels than participants who reported never having used marijuana in their lifetimes.
The study also found correlations between thinner people and marijuana use -- an attribute that has been noted in previous research.
The academics aren't sure how pot helps control insulin, but they want to know more. Joseph S. Alpert, MD, professor of medicine at the University of Arizona College of
Medicine, Tucson:
We desperately need a great deal more basic and clinical research into the short- and long-term effects of marijuana in a variety of clinical settings such as cancer, diabetes, and frailty of the elderly.
