We boast when our little ones acquire the skill early and fret when they pick it up late, or, worse, not at all.But for millions of kids, reading does not come easy. In fact, 15-20 percent of children suffer from a language-based learning disability, according to the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC).Take Hunter, who is now 14. He was diagnosed with dyslexia, the most common cause of reading, writing and spelling difficulties, in second grade. His mom, Sara Bridges, says, despite special education, Hunter has never passed the math portion of the TAKS test, and barely eeked by on the other sections. He would write without a break between words and insert the wrong punctuation. He'd pick up magazines but only to look at the pictures.

Fortify Your Immune System
February 4th 2014 07:32
Try These Immune-Boosting Berries
by: Rachael Anderson
Try These Immune-Boosting Berries
The next time you start feeling a sniffly, sneezy cold or the dreaded flu coming on, pop some blueberries or grapes. They may help you feel better faster.
Researchers from Oregon State University analyzed hundreds of compounds and found that resveratrol, found in red grapes, and pterostilbene, found in blueberries, may give your immune system a boost. These compounds work with vitamin D to increase the expression of the CAMP gene, which has been shown to play a key role in the bodys immune system.
This was just a lab study, but there are lots of good reasons to eat grapes and blueberries:
Grapes may help protect your blood pressure from salty and fatty foods, as well as help keep your blood vessels relaxed and blood flowing freely. Grape juice is an immune system booster, too.
Blueberries have been found to improve memory in older adults at risk for dementia, as well as ward off varicose veins, ulcers, hemorrhoids, heart disease and cancer.
Not a fan of grapes or blueberries? Here are more ways to strengthen your immune system:
Eat an apple a day to keep the doctor away. Studies reveal that soluble fiber, found in oat bran, seeds, apples and other fruits, may boost levels of immune-supportive proteins.
Turn that frown upside down. Researchers found that people who are optimistic have a stronger immune response.
Take a cue from Eastern culture. A study found that people who practiced the meditative art of qi gongdaily for a month experienced significant improvements in their immune system function.

5 Best Online Backup for Linux – 2014 Edition
Time was when Linux was only reserved for geeks who were super bright- and for good reason. One had to be very familiar with the OS. You had to compile the kernel, hardware drives and modules you'd want to use. These included those that the system required and difficult to remember names and terms. Important, too, was a good knowledge of command line commands. Not an easy task.
That was the history. But Linux is not just meant for the few who can deal with the complicated. In fact, it is one of the most important operating systems that most end users aren't familiar with. Why? Because most of the internet is running on Linux or a derivative thereof. It matters little that Windows and Mac OS X are successful ,reliable and good for end users and companies. It is Linux that is running the show as it relates to the infrastructure behind the internet and telecom worldwide.
Linux For Desktop
Fast forward to the present. Today, Linux is not just for geeks and servers. Indeed, Linux has moved into desktops. Before Ubuntu there were Linux distributors like Fedora, CentOS and SuSE Linux for desktop users. They didn't exactly rewrite history in the industry as Canonical did with Ubuntu even though they were good distributors. Creators of Ubuntu concentrated on easy usability for desktop users. They also were interested in compatibility with most hardware. This included drivers of all popular hardware. Important, too, were initial system support and good marketing.
As a result, Linux desktops have grown in popularity. There are alternatives to Ubuntu. A host of Linux distributions based on Ubuntu or other distributions exist; but they're created for the desktop experience.
Does Linux Need Backup?
How many sysadmins know about backup and use it effectively? You'd be surprised. Advanced users of Linux know about the importance of backups. And they are proficient and possess the technical knowledge to perform it. However what they really do in most cases is Local Backup. That is to say they backup to NAS external hard drives or some other home office file servers.
But it really depends a lot on individual experience for desktop Linux users. Some Linux users are not as competent as sysadmins. While their knowledge may be increasing, they may not know about the importance of having proper backups. Even so, they are probably doing local backups we think.
Local Backups Ain't Enough?
In a word, no! We can't emphasize enough that local backups are not the definitive answer for protecting your data. We reiterate our previous posts: local backups can be good solutions except that they almost always use hard drives. According to Google, 6% of hard drives can fail without warning in their first year. Not so safe.
A real fool proof and fail-proof solution is to use what we refer to as a "3-2-1 backup plan". It is a strategy everyone should use. How effective is it? It can endure any kind of apocalypse including zombie outbreaks. And that's good!
We won't reprise the whole plan but part of it includes using online backups or cloud backups. But without further discussion, here are our 5 best cloud backup services.

Winner – CrashPlan – From $2.5/mo
Hands down, CrashPlan is the best in this list. It has awesome software which enables you to do much more than online backups. And its cloud backup service is equally impressive.
All other cloud backup platforms' software let you backup online only. Crashplan is different. Its desktop client software allows you to backup your files to external hard drives without any costs. This includes NAS other computers you own or your friends. That's amazing. Cross-platform compatibility isn't a problem as the software runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. And it's free. It runs on Java but it doesn't eat much system resources. We've heard that their developing native applications for both Linux and Mac. Thus it's a good way to get some off-site backup if you have remote PCs.
For added safety you can buy their cloud storage service called CrashPlan+. There are currently three plans. First, CrashPlan+10GB will give you 10GB storage for $2.50/month per computer. Then ther is CrashPlan+ Unlimited which permits backup data without any limit on the number of gigabytes you can store. The cost for limitless storage is $5 a month per computer. Next is CrashPlan+ Family Unlimited which is the best among its offers if you have more than one computer. For only $10 a month you can backup between 2 and 10 computers. And there's no limit on storage. So even if you have 5TB worth of data on each you are protected. Buying the plan for 4 years will enable you to the lowest price for all three plans.
CrashPlan also stands out for its versioning system. Some providers keep your files' previous versions for 30 days or 90 days. But unless you specify the duration for them, CrashPlan will keep them forever. You can set purging parameters, too. What's really super is even if you're subscribed to the 10GB plan, old versions will not count against your quota.
This is not the only reason Crashplan is outstanding. Its fine-tuned controls on bandwidth usage and CPU utilization will astound you. Most online backup providers offer certain amounts of such control, but CrashPlan outdoes them. It allows you to set precise usage maximums for bandwidth over WAN,LAN and CPU utilization. You control how much to use whether your computer is in use or is idle.
The software interface is very tidy and attractive. Settings, configuration and all are accessible. You don't have to fiddle, fret or use Google for answers. Some other features are neat as well. There's advanced scheduling and multiple backup destination. This is for your own off-site remote backup as well as CrashPlan storage.
When it's time to restore you can do it either via the software or by request for hard drive with your data. Expect to pay $125-$165 based on how fast you need it.
2. JungleDisk – From $2/mo
You'll flip over JungleDisk if you like ala carte pricing. Their software will process all that needs to be backed up. This includes encryption and navigation through their infrastructure. But JD doesn't touch the storage part. All data storage will be on either AmazonS3 or Rackspace Cloud. For complete control you can choose where you want your data stored. In fact, JungleDisk is a subsidiary of Rackspace.
For a personal user, you can select the pretty good Simply Backup Plan for $2 a month. But it doesn't do anything but backup your files. On the other hand, the Desktop Edition for $3 a month will provide features similar to Dropbox. This option will mount your online storage as a virtual drive on your computer. This is okay if settle for a traditional backup plan plus a form of online storage similar to a drive. However, the fees cover just 5GB of free storage and use of the desktop client software.. Above the initial 5GB free storage you will have to pay for what you use. It costs 14 cents per GB for AmazonS3 and 15 cents per GB for storage space at Rackspace. But before choosing, be aware that AmazoS3 charges for bandwidth and data requests too. And at a few cents per 1000 requests it can be a hassle to just calculate your true cost. Rackspace doesn't charge for those things so their storage is actually cheaper.
Platform compatibility is not an issue as JD will work with Windows, Mac and Linux. There is also an app for iOS.
Another good thing about JungleDisk is you can back up unlimited numbers of computers. And if versioning is critical for you, you can even determine how long you want to keep older files. Naturally you will have to pay for that.
3. Dropbox – From Free
Everyone knows Dropbox. It's one of the best online data storage and syncing services around. It is the essence of ease and simplicity. That and its awesome syncing features make it one of the best, if not the best backup choice. DB client software operates across platforms and is available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Dropbox 's client software has similar features across all platforms- unlike some of the other contenders on our list.
Notable is that with Dropbox you get 2GB for free. By inviting friends/referrals through links to your account you get an additional 500MB per invitee. You can also acquire additional bonus space by doing things like downloading a mobile app and linking it to your account. In total, you can accumulate up to 16GB of free space from referrals and completing DB "quests". Or you can purchase space. 50GB will cost you $9.99 and 100GB will set you back $19.99 per month.
Upon installation Dropbox will create sort of a "magic folder" in your computer. Simply drop files into it and it will upload and sync to all other devices you own and have linked to the same DB account. Another thing, the cross-platform option doesn't stop with computers. Native applications for several mobile platforms such as Android, iOS, BlackBerry and even Windows Phone are available. Thus you can access your files on your mobile devices as well as through its web-based client.
4. Ubuntu One – From Free
Ubuntu One is Ubuntu's answer to Dropbox. If you are a Linux user you will be familiar with them. Similar to Dropbox as it contains all of the syncing functions, it also features a music streaming service if you are a paying user.
Originally only developed for Ubuntu, now it can be used on Windows, too. It also can be used on any Linux distributions that are based on Ubuntu- such as Linux mint. If you want your Ubuntu One data to be available on mobile, there are apps on Android and iOS. Both of them also have music streaming capabilities. Presently you can get 5GB of storage with the free account. With that come most of the standard features you'd expect from an online syncing service like Dropbox. For just $3.99 per month you can get 20GB storage and music streaming capability. The music will be cached to your mobile which allows for offline listening enjoyment. Additional service is available for $2.99 a month for each 20GB block. And you can add as many as you want. What's more, if you buy any songs from the Ubuntu Music Store, you will be entitled to 20GB storage and free music streaming for 6 months. Pretty cool!
Ubuntu One like Dropbox is not a complete backup solution. However it is a darn good data syncing service. It could be a lifesaver should you need it as it will protect your important data from all the devices you use.
5. SpiderOak – From Free
We treasure our privacy yet on the web we are giving away a lot of our private information to corporations and governments. Online backup doesn't except us from this as companies and governments can have access to our data. The only way to protect ourselves from prying eyes is to encrypt data before backing up. And, of course, not let anyone have the key for decryption. This requires much work and many folks don't want to go to the trouble. Plus, it doesn't make for very smooth backup workflow. So it's less than ideal in our opinion.
If you identify with this scenario, then you will love SpiderOak. Their motto is "zero knowledge privacy". This basically means that no one from SO or anyone else apart from you can have access to your data. Even if a government agency came to SpiderOak with a warrant asking for your data, they wouldn't be able to decrypt it. The reason is because SO is unlike other cloud storage and backup solutions. They will not store the key to decrypting the data- your password. It never leaves your computer. All your data gets encrypted even before it is uploaded. There is double security as your data gets encrypted again once it's on their servers.
SpiderOak offers a free 2GB account forever. There's no issue with using it on Linux as its desktop app will work on Mac OS X, windows and Linux. While it may seem to be syncing software, it is in fact a bundle of syncing and backup. There are also apps for iOS, Android and Nokia N900 Macmo!
Personal plans are either the free 2GB plan or Plus+ which offers 100GB storage for $10 per month. Each 100GB increment will cost an additional $10. And you can backup unlimited computers and hard drives.
Linux is superb OS. And chances of you losing data because of system error are slim. But you should always have an appropriate backup setup for hardware issues. Hard drives can still crash. But you can rest easy if you've a good backup solution in place.

The siege of Charleston began in early April, 1863. The most powerful armada of the Civil War — or indeed of any war to that date — had assembled at Port Royal, and when it arrived in Charleston, it consisted of the deadliest ships of the Union Navy: seven ironclad monitors, flat ships with "cheese box" turrets on top (the Passaic, Montauk, Patapsco, Weehawken, Nantucket, Catskill, and Nahant); the experimental Keokuk; the New Ironsides, a large armored frigate; and other vessels. The New Ironsides weighed 3,500 tons; it carried 16 Dahlgren guns and two Parrott rifles. It was the heaviest artillery afloat — indeed, "the most powerful battleship in the world." The Keokuk was an ironclad but had five feet of slanting hull above the water. The Courier reported that "the Abolitionists [have] been gradually marshalling their naval forces in front of the harbor." John Johnson wrote in "The Defense of Charleston Harbor": "In point of both armament and power of resistance, it was to be the most formidable naval attack hitherto made in this or any other country." In the great naval battle at Sebastopol in 1854-55, during the Crimean War, the British fleet had less firepower.
Major Gen. Pierre G.T. Beauregard had established excellent defenses for the city: obstructions in the harbor, 77 guns and cannons of various sizes, mines, torpedoes and well-placed fortifications described by one Union officer as "a porcupine's quills turned outside in." (Two of the Columbian cannons, which constituted the bulk of Sumter's artillery firepower in 1863, are today at White Point Gardens.)
The harbor was full of rope obstructions designed to catch the propellers of the Union ships and mines to blow them up. The Confederate command had taken full advantage of the peculiar geography of Charleston Harbor. The Palmetto State and the Chicora, two ironclad steam rams similar to the famous Merrimac, were on hand. Beauregard had even given the order for the creation of the first submarines to be used successfully in warfare.
The Confederacy did not have much of a navy; torpedo boats and submarine warfare were its only real hope on the sea. The first submarine-type vessel, David, was semi-submersible with a torpedo attached to a pole 30 feet in length. It was to be used successfully against the New Ironsides in October. Similar boats, called Little Davids (because they were designed to fight the Union Goliaths), were soon in production.
The Union fleet's attack on Fort Sumter began 150 years ago, on the afternoon of April 7, 1863, when Rear Adm. Samuel DuPont, nephew of the illustrious Delaware powder maker, ordered his powerful fleet to enter Charleston harbor. DuPont had grave doubts about the siege. Unlike others, who admired the monitors, DuPont was a sailor of the old wooden navy. He had little faith in the newfangled monitors, doubting their ability to win a decisive battle with a fort.
The Navy Department, DuPont said, had a "morbid appetite" to capture Charleston, and he was threatened with being relieved of his command if he did not attack. The armada was led by the monitor Weehawken, pushing a large raft to explode torpedoes, followed by three other monitors, the New Ironsides, and then four more monitors. The Passaic was under the command of Percival Drayton, the Charleston native whose brother was a Confederate officer.
They sailed into the harbor believing they could successfully storm one of the great fortresses of the South.
Robert N. Rosen, an attorney, is the author of "A Short History of Charleston" and "Confederate Charleston."

The Kings have taken a 3-0 series lead, steamrolling the Devils by a score of 4-0.
The first period was actually a pretty well played period from both teams, and there was no scoring from either end. The first goal was scored 5 minutes into the second period by Alec Martinez. Originally it was given to Dwight King, but it was changed to Martinez, and this was his first career playoff goal. Ten minutes later, Anze Kopitar netted his 8th goal of the playoffs to make it 2-0. The wheels would come off around this time, and the Kings would score twice more in the third, by Jeff Carter and Justin Williams, both on the powerplay, and the scoring would be capped. The Kings now have a 3-0 lead in the series.
This was a disgusting effort from the Devils. They were 0-6 on the powerplay, and they failed to really garner any momentum. Marty Brodeur had a pathetic .810 save percentage. The Devils needed to show composure and really had to come up on top, but they did the complete opposite. They took stupid penalties, and the two of them turned into powerplay goals. They became extremely frustrated, which is fair seeing as Jonathan Quick is clearly from another planet. They needed to bounce back, and they failed to do so. It's hard to say that the Devils have a chance to win the next game, but it's also hard to imagine that the Devils will get swept.
What do you think will happen in Game 4? Let me know in the comments below.

ORONO, Maine – Sophomores Allison Letourneau (Kingston, Nova Scotia) and Sydney Fitzpatrick (Billerica, Mass.) finished first and third, respectively, but it was not enough, as the University of New Hampshire women's cross country team fell to the University of Maine Friday afternoon at the Beckett Family Track Complex.
New Hampshire finished with 27 points, just five points behind the Black Bears (32).
Letourneau led the pack with her most impressive performance this season as she ran the course in just 18 minutes, 10 seconds. Fitzpatrick wasn't too far behind as she crossed the finish line in 18:26.
Sophomore Mackenzie Ferreira (Westerly, R.I.) also placed inside the top-five as she finished fifth with a time of 18:59. In addition, Freshman Megan Murane (Andover, N.J.) had a strong showing as she finished 14th, crossing the finish line at 19:38.
The Wildcats return to action Saturday, Oct. 4 when they return to Orono to take part in the Murray Keatinge Invitational at the Maine Cross Country Course.

Good enough for me. As long as they're not made in USA, I don't give a shit... Asking as they are made right! I know that sounds bad, but it's the way if the way of the world, and Samsung, HTC, et all look no better if they are assembled in a foreign country without child labor laws (like the us), but it is what it is... Just make sure they tighten my screws and screw it!!!

Brandon Johnson, son of Sen. Tim Johnson , discusses his dad's recovery on Monday afternoon. Sen. Johnson suffered stroke-like symptoms and underwent brain surgery. / Lloyd B. Cunningham / Argus Leader
The news media might spend time talking about successors to Sen. Tim Johnson, but a son of the South Dakota Democrat is confident his dad will go back to work.
"That's the easiest question for me to answer," said Brendan Johnson, the second-oldest child of Tim and Barbara Johnson. "From my conversations with the doctors and based on the progress he has been making, I feel very confident that he is going to be getting back to work sooner rather than later."
It was the first interview given by a Johnson family member since the senator was hospitalized Dec. 13 with stroke-like symptoms followed by brain surgery at George Washington University Medical Center in Washington.
Brendan Johnson says his conclusions come from talking with doctors and also seeing how his father has done in neurological exams.
"It is also knowing my father and the idea to him of missing a single day of work - let alone weeks of work - is going to be very difficult for him to swallow," he said. "Like many other people in South Dakota, as soon as he can be back, he will be."
At first, he says that might require someone driving his father to the Capitol and having some physical assistance until he gains his strength.
"But the encouraging thing from what we understand is that his mental functioning and his brain functioning - so far, all the signs are that there is no reason to believe that he will have anything less than a full recovery," he said.
Johnson, a Sioux Falls lawyer, returned home briefly this week and plans to go back to Washington in a few days.
People back home have often been asking if Johnson is conscious. But Brendan Johnson says he must be heavily sedated much of the time to help the healing process.
"What they do several times during the day is ease up on the sedation so they can do neurological tests such as checking his pupils, seeing if he can wiggle his toes, seeing if he can hold my mother's hand. What has been most effective is when my mother actually asks him to do things," Johnson said.
Brendan Johnson says his brother, Brooks, sister, Kelsey, and he spend their time reading and talking to him.
"But he is under so much sedation that you can't say it is a true conversation, being able to respond. But nonetheless, we communicate with him," Brendan Johnson said.
The senator remained in critical but stable condition late Monday, and his spokeswoman, Julianne Fisher, noted that, "We've made it through the first 72 hours, which we consider promising."
Those first 24 hours were "extremely difficult," Brendan Johnson said.
"The positive was visiting with the doctors after the surgery. Their optimism has been helping. The family spent the night with my father in the hospital. And all of us were scared. That fear and anxiety didn't diminish at all until his first neurological test he had, and that was very comforting."
One of the reasons for upbeat assessments has been Johnson's good health.
"Knowing my father was in good physical health when he went in, doctors think that is a tremendous asset. Right now, my family has a realistic hope, and that is a 100 percent recovery. Recovery is a long road, and there is obviously going to be some ups and downs," he said.
Every time family members first went to his room, Brendan Johnson said, it was difficult.
"I think the toughest part initially was just seeing someone you love so much laying in a hospital bed the way he was, seeing his condition. That was extremely difficult," he said.
The Johnson children get a lot of support from their mother as they work their way through the test their father faces.
"This is a little embarrassing, but she was the strength for her kids when it should have been the other way around," Brendan Johnson said. "She is a great source of strength for us."
One of the most comforting things for the Johnson family is frequent visits from former Sen. Tom Daschle and Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid.
"They are always there giving us support. You often see Tom there in the waiting room waiting to see my father. It is good for us to have them there," Brendan Johnson said.
The Johnson family has had its share of medical issues. Barbara Johnson has battled breast cancer. Tim Johnson was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and now this.
But as a whole, Brendan Johnson says the family has been incredibly blessed.
"My father having the opportunity to serve South Dakota in the Congress and U.S. Senate. The friends we made, the good will, the kindness we have received. I can't imagine thinking we as a family are unlucky or unfortunate. I think just the opposite. I think we were incredibly blessed," he said.
Some of Johnson's constituents have been critical of the way the media has covered the senator's health crisis, saying they often focus on the possible succession process if Johnson cannot serve.
Brendan Johnson looks beyond the criticism.
"It hasn't been a problem for us. In all fairness, we haven't been watching the national media very closely. Seeing the articles from South Dakota, the stories I have seen have lifted our spirits," he said.
One item recently in the media hangs on the hospital room wall, an Argus Leader cartoon by Jason Folkerts. It shows George Washington's face on Mount Rushmore with the caption, "Watch over him, Lord."
"That was uplifting," Brendan Johnson said.
David Kranz's column appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Call him at 331-2302 or write to him at the Argus Leader, Box 5034, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5034.

Q & A with Jake Locker
Jake Locker is a popular guy these days, receiving an extraordinary amount of media attention during the past year for his football talents, as well as committing to play college football next fall at Washington. That attention continued after he passed for 1,603 yards and 27 touchdowns with only three interceptions, and rushed for 1,338 yards and 24 touchdowns on 127 carries to lead Ferndale to the Class 3A state football title last fall in Tacoma. It followed him through basketball season, and magnified this spring because he's also an outstanding baseball player with the potential to play professionally.

Of the many things one might be fearful that one's one-night stand might suddenly whip out during sex — an oversize anal plug, a hamster, an extra sex organ, a volume of self-penned poetry, put yours in the comments — the thing one Hell's Kitchen resident found brandished in their face during a recent casual encounter may be the scariest.
From this morning's crime log:
The 34-year-old victim and the assailant, in his 30s, were engaged in sex in the apartment on West 43rd Street near Ninth Avenue at 7:15 p.m. Sunday, cops said.
Suddenly, the assailant pulled a knife and robbed the victim of a BlackBerry and $40.
Not least because if they were already "engaged in sex," where was the guy hiding the knife?

If you've got a large forehead that you're embarrassed about, you're not alone. Some of the biggest names in
The key to making your large forehead work for you are to add bangs, bangs, bangs! Having bangs can make or break your look so be sure not to just get any cut or style of bangs. Your hairstyle should fit your overall face shape, not just suit your high forehead. In this case, turning to the skills of a professional hair stylist is going to be your best bet. Get pictures of celebrities with large foreheads that are similar in face shape to yours to use for reference.
If you want to go for the easiest style, get eyebrow length fringe bangs that go straight across your forehead (Naomi Campbell sported these types of bangs for a while). In addition to getting straight bangs, also add gradual tapering to the sides so that your bangs easily blend in with the rest of your hair and doesn't end up looking like a bad wig.
If that style doesn't suit you, then you can opt for soft-layered bangs that are brow and chin length to frame your face and forehead. This type of style allows you to pull our shorter, wispy bangs that you can scatter along your forehead, whether your hair is down or pulled back in a ponytail.
For those of you who'd rather not cut your hair at all, you can try this simple hair trick at home:
· Drop a pea-sized amount of pomade onto your hand and rub between your palms and run your hands over your hair to smooth it down.
· Create a low side part and sweep your hair across your forehead and secure it into a ponytail using an elastic band at the nape of your neck. This style creates the illusion of bangs without having to cut your hair.
Depending on what type of hair you have, as well as your face shape and cut will determine what style of bangs will work for you. Bangs look great on people with straight hair. If you have curly hair, going about getting bangs may be a little trickier. Often curly hair with bangs can look messy but that doesn't mean you can't still make it work. You may want a messy look to make your hair and face stand out so go with what works for you. One alternative for curly haired gals who want bangs is to straighten only your bangs so that they fall across your forehead properly while keeping the rest of your hair curly. When done right, this style rocks! You can even pull your curly locks back into a ponytail or half ponytail and let your straightened bangs take the spotlight. Talk about instant sex appeal without much effort!
The best thing about adding bangs to your look is that they are low-maintenance. You won't have to constantly go to the salon to get them trimmed or styled. If you have a steady hand, you can even learn to trim your own bangs at home once you get used to the style.

Your staff on the trip was terrific and the routes selected provided some of the most beautiful vistas I have ever experienced.- Belvedere, CA
We would never have experienced the behind-the-scenes culture in the same manner nor learned as much about the fascinating history of this part of the world. We received great suggestions and direction for non-group-sponsored activities during and after the week. I believe the guides were as much a reason for this as anything, which is indirectly a reflection of Backroads as a company and my feeling is that there are probably very few other organizations which could provide as satisfying of an experience for us.
This trip exceeded my expectations in many respects: the organization and leadership, the compatibility of the riders, the "Croatian" experience. It was the experience of a lifetime.- Hastings on Hudson, NY
I had high expectations going into this trip, so I was prepared to be a little underwhelmed. In fact, the opposite was true. It far exceeded my expectations. Everything was so well organized, having the chartered boat was a big surprise, and the islands were incredibly beautiful. It was just incredibly fun. I hesitate to say this, but I think it was the best vacation we have ever gone on.- Salt Lake City, UT
This was my first Backroads trip and it did not disappoint! Thanks for a fabulous vacation in magical Croatia. Great itinerary...loved the opportunity to experience the country with personal touches from the locals, amazing scenery and epic bike rides. I am sad to be back home :(- Littleton, CO
Croatia is a fabulous place. The cycling was beautiful. Our yacht was incredibly luxurious and comfortable and a real treat. It's a great idea to cycle and sail on the same day. The leaders were top-notch and lots of fun. We had a great time.- San Francisco, CA
This was one of the best trips if not the best I have ever taken. Croatia was so beautiful and the routes were great.- Lone Tree, CO
As soon as we arrived and viewed the incredible landscape we knew we would be traveling through the pages of National Geographic, everyday. The countryside holds outstanding beauty and you can hear the rhythm of the land. Spectacular villages, old-world seaport towns, and fantastic views, warm people.- Philadelphia, PA
It exceeded my expectations... The leaders, hotels, restaurants/food, yacht elements (and captain) vistas and daily schedules were all extraordinary. I have been raving about it to everyone who will listen.- New York, NY
I have done a number of minimally supported (reservations, luggage transfer, and maps/directions) trips in the past, but this was my first fully supported trip. I do not know how it could be made better - it was that good.- London, England
Just awesome - I was so struck by the views - so breathtaking, unreal. The boat added so much to the trip. I love the water and having the boat was just great and really made the trip for me - and the swim stops we made. Nice weather, super crew and great views!- Oakhurst, NJ
Even though this was one of the most challenging trips we have taken with you, we loved it! The leaders were the best, the scenery was spectacular and we liked how the trip was set up with the boat and biking.- Edwards, CO
We spent a month in Croatia including the Backroads trip and a trip of Istria with one of your competitors. Your trip was superior. The logistics of your trip were quite challenging and the three guides really made it seamless. The bike routes were very enjoyable and had minimal traffic. The boat was excellent and the crew on the boat was very accommodating.- Boston, MA
This turned out to be one of my best trips! I was worried about the hills, but the van support was great, and I handled the hills much better than I expected. This trip exemplifies why I am a huge Backroads fan.- Merion Station, PA
This was a trip of a lifetime! Backroads made everything so easy and we loved every minute.- Anchorage, AK
This was an amazing trip for all of my family. There was a warm connection between the trip leaders and the 21 people on our trip from the get-go. We had a blast with everyone! The Dalmatian Coast is glorious. The food was healthy and refreshing. The leaders were so kind and made all the transitions seem effortless. There were a lot of logistical moves to get from island to island and back and the leaders just smiled through all of them and they worked very hard. We were relaxing and enjoying the ride, be it on cycles or boats!!- New Hope, PA
We had a fantastic group, great guides and most importantly did and saw things that I could not have done by myself. The special access that Backroads opened into local homes, communities, restaurants made it a great value in my book.- Laredo, TX
We love Backroads! You guys have this bike trip thing perfected... We celebrated our 25th anniversary on this trip and could not have had a better time.- Hillsborough, CA
Trip of a lifetime! Experiencing Croatia on a bicycle along with a diverse and interesting group of people far exceeded what I was anticipating. This was our third Backroads trip with the first two being over 20 years ago. We experienced the same enthusiasm from Backroads and the leaders today as back then. Backroads does it right! Every aspect seems well thought-out - the hotels, meals, bicycle routes, events put on by the locals specifically for us (wine tasting, lunches, dinners, the "lavender lady", the "olive oil lady"), snacks, wines...the list goes on and on! This trip will go down in our memory books as first-rate in all aspects!!- Minden, NV

It is perhaps no small sin of writing to open any piece—poetry, prose, wide-eyed and red-faced Internet posting—with an appropriated wisdom. But this one, courtesy of Christopher Hitchens, deserves a good sharp read: "Everybody does have a book in them, but in most cases that's where it should stay."
I don't necessarily dispute this: All literature is a war against cliché, and these primate brains of ours teem with plastic aphorisms, Tumblr- and tabloid-borne typecasts. Still, I can't shake the sense that we confiscate a great deal from ourselves, cheat our minds, and impound our full capacities when we keep from putting pen to page for fear of inadequacy. All too often, we find the good stuff falling short before it manages to reach a page.
We are children of the Core. Like it or not, the written word is in our blood (at the very least it's in our bile). And it's a very sad thing indeed, at an institution like this one, with vast poetic reservoirs behind every office door, inside each sleepy classroom, that there isn't more writing going on for the simple sake of writing. True, a large chunk of the Columbia population does write. But for each amateur wordsmith, there are innumerable would-be's who keen, "Christ, I just wouldn't be any good," who find themselves "just too swamped," who lament the craft as a gallant, but ultimately ill-advised, diversion from the job-jihad, the Butler grind, the soundless existential panic, so on and so forth.
"Writing," here, does not refer to the few dry, factory-fresh papers per semester that we are all forced to crank out. For the most part these works are lifeless and impersonal. No matter how spectacularly the facts are marshalled, the theses argued are—association permitting—to recreational forms of writing as vice-lipped pity sex is to love-making.
No one can claim themselves immune to the author's impulse—the "throb," as Nabokov puts it. At some point we all have that experience (you know the one I'm talking about): the peering inward, the commune with the inner voice, and then the urge to put what we find onto paper. But how many actually make the leap nowadays? I know, at least, for those of us in the hard sciences, that reflective or inspired writing is always swept aside in favor of more pressing matters. After a while, the pressures of vocation, of research, of grade point survival, can start to look like steel bars through which one has to watch all the creative license—and thus all the fun—drift by. We get caught up in our B-cells and our T-cells, our oxymercurations, our Born-Oppenheimer approximations, and rarely do we foster the drive to create. Life becomes deficient of the creative element. And in this deficiency we lose a certain limb of the post-academic experience.
Authorship, especially outside of the Courseworks Dropbox, provokes us to examine ourselves in a way that is both healthy and rewarding. Under the loose air and tight lid of the paperless mind, a lot of rationally unfounded, morally absurd nonsense can fester unchallenged. Writing has a way of forcing us to clear the grimy lenses through which we register and collate our worlds. One finds that the most non-negotiable convictions, when strained out of the head and slapped onto paper, can seem either unforgivably stupid or unbelievably poignant.
Martin Amis famously divides the author's existence into three domains: reading, living, and writing. Under this architecture, the vast majority of us are already two-thirds of our way to being writers. We read and engage even if we don't always want to. The Core makes sure that we do. I mean really, what's the point of reading Nietzsche, Marx, Ovid, Homer, if you're not going to do anything with the information or lyrical insight? These classics are important not just because of their history or resonant ideology, but because they make us think about what constitutes radiant prose and beautiful poetry. They make us think—period. The written word, in its freer forms, without all the nasty shackles of propriety, gives us a way of inspecting and screening out the junk thoughts and then cultivating the good ones.
Perhaps a pitch from another angle. This writing thing—it's a fantastic beneficiary of our oldest and greatest chemical recreation: the consumption of alcohol, ad libitum. After a slurred Saturday night concourse with friends, or in the foggy reverberations of a really memorable hookup (good or bad, all the same, little judgment here), no better nightcap than a few seriously smashed sentences and piss-faced paragraphs.

holy fuck. this is like an example in how not to write. luckily for you you're biochem not english. each paragraph begins more terribly than the last. "I don't necessarily dispute this" "We are children of the Core. Like it or not, the written word is in our blood" "No one can claim themselves immune to the author's impulse"
And this is like an example of how not to comment—cruel, inaccurate, and badly punctuated.
Yes, it's a bit pretentious, but he's writing about writing. That's almost inevitable. Anyways, if it's engaging and interesting enough for even someone who despised it to read through, he clearly did fine.
Post an actual critique next time, will you?
Not everyone (even at Ivy League schools) is familiar with the works of Nietsche, Marx, Plato, etc. In any case, you are still missing the Easterns, such as Vivekananda, Confucius, Buddha, etc. So, since you clearly have the inclination, if you have also the time, you may wish to create a blog with links to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Direct your readers to one specific entry there and have them respond to it on your blog, 25 to 100 words. I wonder if you will do this and, if you do, how many at Columbia and/or other educational institutions, worldwide, will respond.
Not everyone, even at Ivy League schools, is familiar with the works of Nietzsche, Marx, Plato, etc. In any case, you are still missing the Easterns -- Confucius, Buddha, Vivekananda, etc. Clearly, you have the inclination to write. I wonder if you have the time to create a blog to see how many students are truly familiar with great thinkers and also whether they like to write. You could have a link to a different entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, every day. Ask your blog-viewers to read the entry and respond to it in 25 to 100 words. It will be interesting to see how many responses you get, each day, from Columbia and/or other universities, worldwide.

Alonso sees Mercedes as favorites for Monaco
May 14, 2013, 10:55 AM EDT
Mercedes are the favorites to win next week's prestigious Monaco Grand Prix according to Fernando Alonso.
"They will arrive as favorites. They've been on pole the last three races," said the Spanish Grand Prix winner.
"It's more difficult to overtake in Monaco so maybe they can keep good positions for longer."
In addition to setting pole position in the last three races Mercedes have set the fastest single lap by a team in each of the last four Grand Prix weekends, underlining their status as the team to beat in qualifying.
That has previously been the key to winning in Monaco, where the narrow circuit makes overtaking virtually impossible.
But as this year's tires wear out more quickly than last year's, it may not be the case next weekend. Pirelli have allocated their softest tires for next week's race – the soft and super-soft tires.
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton started first and second for Sunday's race but slipped to sixth and twelfth respectively by the chequered flag.
Mercedes set the fastest time during qualifying for last year's Monaco Grand Prix but Michael Schumacher was moved back to sixth on the grid for a penalty incurred in the previous race.
- icemanpjn - May 14, 2013 at 5:30 PM
I've been suggesting that Lewis and Nico lock out the front row and then just slowly drive side-by-side, preserving tires enough that they don't need to pit for tires and holding everyone else back.
- techmeister1 - May 15, 2013 at 1:56 AM
Mercedes is likely to win Monaco by default if they can qualify on the pole. It's a shame because Monaco is a cool race but tough to really do much passing. Mercedes may get blown off in the tunnel, we'll see.

'A Patent Lie' By Paul Goldstein: Legal Thriller Is A Rewarding Read
John Grisham made the contemporary legal thriller into a best-selling genre. Paul Goldstein has transformed the genre into an art form.
Mr. Goldstein's protagonist is an intellectual property lawyer named Michael Seeley, a reformed alcoholic and former high-powered New York City corporate attorney. After the adventures he experienced in Mr. Goldstein's first novel, Errors and Omissions, he has retreated to his native Buffalo, N.Y., and the consolation of a small legal practice. Then his only sibling, a doctor and medical adviser to a Northern California biotech firm, shows up at his office to hire him as main counsel for a federal patent law case. The former lead counsel has somewhat inconveniently committed suicide, so Seeley puts his solitude and his doubts about the case behind him and flies west.

"Chatting with the Ghost of Dr. Freud"
Short fiction - Paranormal
By Gayla Chaney
I appreciate you seeing me on such short notice, Doc. This couch is soft, and your photograph looks nice taped to the ceiling like that. I can't remember what we're supposed to do. Delve into my subconscious? Scour the bottom of my dark, hidden heart? Play word association games? Call me attention-span deficit, but I'm easily bored. My Id craves stimuli. I lose focus if I stare at something too long. Hey, that cigar you're holding…is it a real cigar or a symbol from some future dream I'm going to have?
By way of introduction, consider me a Woody Guthrie song in the flesh. I reject hobo, bum, or transient, though I will confess to having migratory tendencies. But I am not lazy. It's just that settling down seems dangerously close to rigor mortis in my book. Versatility is my strongest virtue. So, I'm a dishwasher, farmhand, cabdriver, and part-time landscaper who sometimes heads south in winter to drill for oil on offshore rigs. I can lay pipeline or cable, concrete or brick, and when necessary, I sleep in my truck. Mimicry makes all things possible.
My relationship with my mother? Oh, Doc, she gave me my nomadic soul. My name is not recorded in any family bible handed down from generation to generation. I think of myself as the product of selective breeding, a hybrid deposited like a cowbird's egg in a robin's nest. Wanderlust is my inheritance.
Routine affects me like an itch that I can't reach. But I'll be alright. I'm neither criminal nor insane. I just can't remain in one place too long. A tank of gas and some cash in my wallet, that's all I need. In motion, I come to life.
Maybe I am just redefining rugged individualism for the twenty-first century, carving out my own version of the American Dream. It's not the Horatio Alger version, but it's the only version I can stomach. Family and community? Chains and shackles. A picket fence or barbed wire? Any distinction is lost on me.
So, I live in this new, fluid frontier because I need diversity, plain and simple. My actions got nothing to do with repressed desires or symbolic dreams. Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, right? By rejecting the tethers of kinship in favor of a loner's lifestyle, I am simply expressing my individuality. Thank God I live in a country where it's perfectly legal to do so. Tomayto, tomahto, and to each his own, I guess.
What do you think of my analysis, Doc? It works for me, mostly. Except for running into your ghost from time to time, in town after town, I'd probably never question why I dream of empty boots.

Mangotic truly a General for AW soccerWritten by Scott Calhoun | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In his final high school season, Tommy Mangotic is a phoenix risen from virtual obscurity.
After silently starring on an Anthony Wayne soccer team largely unrecognized in the middle of the Northern Lakes League pack during his first three high school seasons, the senior midfielder is the widely touted General on a squad relishing statewide recognition. With rankings as high as 7th, but currently 14th in Ohio's prestigious Division I state polls. Mangotic's team enters the district playoffs as the area's number one seed.
The Generals enter the postseason with a 13-2-1 mark, one loss coming to state-ranked Gahanna Lincoln and the other against an under-appreciated Sylvania Northview squad.
"In the last four years I really didn't feel like we had the talent, but this year is easily the best team I've played on. In the off-season we played together all the time, and now we are so focused on soccer," Mangotic said.
A third-team All-State honoree during his junior stint, Mangotic statistically trailed the conference's other talented players in regular season goals with 10, including his high-scoring teammate, junior forward Brandon Bucher. But the team co-captain led the conference in assists with 12. He plays the pitch like a quarterback on the gridiron. His teammates look to him to make things happen every time the ball touches his cleats. Mangotic delivers far more often than not.
"Tommy's just an outstanding player going both ways. He works hard on both ends of the field, and passes the ball well, shoots the ball well. He's just been a great senior leader this year," said head coach Tom Shook of his prized midfielder.
The open space Mangotic creates from his movement with the ball allows him to deliver pinpoint passes to his teammates giving them ample opportunities to put the tethered sphere past opposing goalies.
Mangotic's maternal grandfather, the late Ferenc Gal, played professional soccer in Hungary as a nine-year member of their national select team up to the mid-1930s. Gal migrated to Toledo in 1971.
Mangotic credits his grandfather for playing a major role in encouraging him to pursue the game. "I got my passion for playing soccer from my grandpa," he said, "all of my motivation came

Latin Roots: Oscar D'León
By editor
For this installment of Latin Roots from World Cafe, The Latin Alternative's Ernesto Lechner discusses one of his favorite artists, the Venezuelan salsa singer Oscar D'León. Now in his 70s, D'León is still going strong with a demanding style of improvisational salsa. As Lechner tells us, D'León directs his band using hand gestures and directions contained in the lyrics for a set without a net.
Check out Ernesto Lechner's Oscar D'León Spotify playlist.

I came across this website thru my friend Prince who had one of the Cast of Vices necklaces of a cocaine jar (correct me if I'm wrong) I've never seen one in person so I wasn't sure what he was talking about, but after he showed me the website and told me they have different jewelry pieces of "Vices" including weed baggies, pills and miscellaneous things like club bracelet and a leather 'I <3 NY' bag, I kind of fell in love.
I wouldn't mind these drugs, in the name of fashion.
