...The risk of pre-eclampsia was 4.1% in the first pregnancy and 1.7% in later pregnancies overall. However, the risk was 14.7% in the second pregnancy for women who had had pre-eclampsia in their first pregnancy and 31.9% for women who had had pre-eclampsia in the previous two pregnancies. The risk for multiparous women without a history of pre-eclampsia was around 1%. The incidence of pre-eclampsia associated with delivery before 34 weeks' gestation was 0.42% in primiparous women, 0.11% in multiparous women without a history of pre-eclampsia, and 6.8% and 12.5% in women who had had one or two previous pregnancies affected, respectively. The proportion of women who went on to have a further pregnancy was 4-5% lower after having a pregnancy with any pre-eclampsia but over 10% lower if pre-eclampsia was associated with very preterm delivery... Findings are consistent with the existence of two distinct conditions: a severe recurrent early onset type affected by chronic factors, genetic or environmental, and a milder sporadic form affected by transient factors.
So if you delivered before 34 weeks, you're one in about two hundred, and you're 10% less likely to have another pregnancy than someone without that history. That last bit is probably both because you and your partner are scared sh*tless *and* because some preeclamptics develop immune responses to subsequent pregnancies that interfere with placentation enough that subsequent pregnancies miscarry.

Comfy Beanie
This is a pretty sweet beanie, especially if you are looking for the throwback pom-beanie look. This is super comfy and really warm. It is pretty long, so if thats not what you are looking for you can either fold up the bottom or look elsewhere. It still looks pretty sweet with the bottom folded. I am a big fan of the colors and design, its classic.

well, it works with the same concept as Loosewire; SOE Operative's slide action gun. though this gun does not have a slide it has the "mag in handle" idea.
instead of shooting white rods like loosewire's mine shoots bullet type things, and they work a lot better, if you pull the ram back far enough it never jams.
i hope you like it! please rate!
the third and forth are of the 1.5 version.
Step 1: Barrel
Step 2: Handle
Step 3: Top part of barrel
Step 5: Put it all together
i almost forgot the mag pusher. just make that first.
otherwise, perfect! 4.5**!

I'm a klutz!
I accidently spilt lemonade on my Macbook Air keyboard. As it is part of a student-school program I cannot fix it or pay for someone not advised by the school to fix it. When I tipped over my glass, it spilt over the lower half of my keyboard. I immediately turned it off and tipped it upside down, before patting it down with paper towel. Even though the battery or inner hardware of my laptop are still working, some of the keys are sticky when I press down on them (space bar, N, V, F, G and H). The keys are backlit and I'm not sure the school warranty covers spills. Is there any way I can fix this safely? Any help is massively appreciated. Thanks.
This seems to be a bit of a grey area to advise on if it's part of a school program. Anything I can suggest means opening up the laptop and getting a good clean of it done, but if that voids the warranty it's probably best to go to whoever is in charge of the program and explaining the situation..
Wish you the best with it
- Simon
Given that this is part of a school program I think Simon is spot on. Even if it were your personal computer liquid spills, particularly sticky liquids, tend to lead to problems later. It's difficult to remove the results of the spill without there being some damage to the logic board
1. Build a time machine
2. Go back in time to before you spilled your drink
3. Never have open containers near electronics!
You really ought to start backing up your data now as well in case that juice starts to wreak havoc on your machine. Not only did you spill juice (which is sugary) but it was a lemon based juice which I also imagine is more acidic than most. I'm willing to bet that more damage is coming. The answer here is simple - back everything up right now and bring it in to the school.
I looked at a couple of YouTube videos on how to remove the keys without breaking the mechanism and did it very carefully before cleaning away the sticky residue. The keys work much better now and I haven't had any other problems.
Thanks a lot for all the advice guys. I really appreciate it.
Hold your horses.
Sometimes problems do not appear for a week or longer. The sugar takes time to react with the logic board and cause corrosion. Fingers crossed.

Excellent upgrade from 25-year-old dryer
Date:October 30, 2011
Best Features: Reasonable price, quiet, wisely adjusts timing to dry
"My wife and I decided to purchase this dryer after reviewing Best Buy's own reviews as well as over at LG.com and various other places over the Internet. Some of my colleagues at work have had great experiences with the LG brand in general, so we decided to give it a shot.
So far, it's been an excellent investment. We originally had a 25-year-old Kenmore dryer that simply stopped heating. The difference really is night and day. The sensors in the dryer are able to tell both humidity and temperature, so you can set, for example, Permanent Press to be default or "More Dry" if you have thick fabric without having to worry about heating it too much. And it's true -- whatever it thinks it needs to start out at in terms of length of time to dry, it will adjust this based on what's actually in the dryer. Therefore, if you're used to waiting for an hour for clothes to dry, get ready -- they'll legitimately be done in 15 - 20 minutes.
We've only had the unit over the weekend, but we've already been able to cut our washing time by two-thirds. We still have a 6-year-old GE washer that's still going strong. So, maybe in another 6 months are so, if the LG continues to perform well, we might get the matching washer."

Absolutely Amazing!
Date:October 29, 2011
"Easily and instantly one of the absolute best purchases that I have ever had the pleasure to make!
I do not ordinarily review products all that much, but man, I really love this machine and its accompanying washer. It is excellently priced and gets my laundry done in HALF the time that it took my old machines to do. I swear, it uses so little water, it is amazing. You will see the results on your energy bill at the end of the month; HUGE difference when you go High Efficiency.
Looks great in my apartment and is incredibly easy to use. I have had no problems whatsoever. I even recommended these machines to my parents when their old ones finally bit the dust and after taking a few spins with my new LGs, they went straight to BestBuy and picked up their own!
Best of all? This dryer and its accompanying washer are SO FRIENDLY!!! They greet you with a little tune when you turn them on and they even sing to you when they are finished with your clothes. Otherwise, you would never even know they were in your house as quietly as they run.
Way to go, LG! I will be looking for more products from you to put in my home. :D"

Couldn't be happier
Date:October 26, 2011
Best Features: Performance, Style/Design, easy to use, Features/Settings, Quality, "happy song"
"When we moved into our new house, my husband wanted to go "high end" for a new washer and dryer. I did an extensive search to find a compromise that prioritized high quality, low cost, super high energy efficiency, and style. This dryer (and matching washer) certainly fits the bill on all counts. It dries clothes in half the time; really moves stuff around so less bunching = less wrinkles; super quiet and sometimes have to check to see if it is running. Of course when the load is finished it plays a happy little tune to let you know, which still makes me smile every time I hear it!"

GamePron News this week is teased by the somewhat unexpected confirmation and reveal of Modern Warfare 3.
Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad has been re-built inside Counter-Strike Source, the United States Navy has created an MMO to help the war against Somali pirates, and Australia's push for an R18+ rating was in the headlines as a key player resigned from Parliament.
Bungie will not be at E3 this year, and neither will Blizzard, but we're promised a playable Diablo 3 beta before the end of the year anyway. In other news: Microsoft's Kinect is being used as a virtual fitting room in a Russian dress shop!
Everybody has a voice, but everybody's talking about the same thing. There's a lot of noise out there, but Player Attack aims to cut through the fluff - or, sometimes, fill you in on the fluff you might have missed. We like indie releases, breathtaking concept art, and tie-in book launches. We love cheap thrills, a good soundtrack and finding innovative uses for gaming technology. All of that is reflected on the site, updated each day with stories and details about what is going on in the games industry, always paying attention to stories other outlets ignore.

Dr. Mae Jean Englee said that theres a science to beauty.
The local physician has established a new office, Inner Beauty MD Wellness and Aesthetics, in Downtown Aiken. The grand opening of the business is today.
This facility offers a variety of services that focus on both the well-being and healthy appearance of a person, Englee said.
We want to treat people as a whole here, Englee said.

Ontario Hockey League Game Day Previews for Sunday March 18 2012
Looks like we made it ... final game day of the regular season here folks.
I only predicted 5 of 9 decisions correctly in yesterday's action – I did predict that SSM would win but didn't see the 10-9 potential there at all. Some exciting action in the league last night – interesting that all the pieces fell into place with the standings so the league has announced all of the playoff matchups and schedules. Some great rivalries in the first round! Interesting that the schedule makers have only one game in the Western Conference today.
Pictured is Brampton's Captain and points leader Sam Carrick. He would add 2 more goals (to his 66 point season total) last night in his team's 5-2 victory over the Barrie Colts.
Ottawa at Brampton
Ottawa continues it's road trip with a stop in at the Bunker. Last night Ottawa was in Niagara where the hosts were not very gracious and handed them a 7-3 defeat. #1 Goalies for both teams did not play – Mrazek was not even dressed. Ottawa had some good pressure at times, but the Icedogs were more resilient in their forechecking and defensive coverage. The 67's would capitalize once on a 5-3 powerplay but did not score on their 5 other chances. Tyler Toffoli would tally an assist to lead the individual scoring race by 1 point. Ottawa is locked into second place in the conference and will play the Belleville Bulls in the first round of the playoffs on Thursday.
Brampton comes off a big 5-2 win at Barrie last night. Captain Carrick would pot 2 goals – including a nifty shorthanded marker to tie the game at 2 goals apiece. They were able to outshoot the Colts by 45-17 so their defensive stance is intact once again. The Battalion will host the Sudbury Wolves in first round action Friday night in Brampton.
My prediction: Ottawa 2 Brampton 4
Sudbury at Kingston
Sudbury is locked into their position as the #5 seed in the Eastern Conference and will start their playoff push this Friday at Brampton. Last night in Belleville they were shutout 2-0. Both teams had good chances on their powerplays but both goaltenders would have solid nights. Vienneau would stop 34 of 36 shots sent his way. Silk, Kuchin and Kantor did not dress for this game.
Kingston is ready for this season to finish – they have struggled with most teams but should have better fortunes next season. They were one of 2 teams that did not play on Saturday. On Friday night they would host the Belleville Bulls and tie the game up late in the third. Unfortunately they would give up a powerplay goal with 1:51 remaining to send things to overtime. The extra frame did not solve anything so they went to the shootout. Neither Greenaway, Alcock or Kujawinski could solve Malcolm Subban so they earned only one point in dropping this contest. Billy Jenkins would score twice (25th point in 30 games with the Fronts) and Mazurek would add the other goal.
My prediction: Sudbury 3 Kingston 1
Niagara at Mississauga
The Icedogs were flying again last night as they paid tribute to their three overage players (Freisen, Agozzino and Pacan). Early penalty trouble would give the 67's a 1-0 lead before the Icedogs would rattle off three straight goals. In the 7-2 victory, Freisen and Pacan would each score twice and Steven Shipley would notch a goal and an assist. The Icedogs have locked up first place in the East – extending their lead to 7 points over the Ottawa 67's.
Last night the Majors were in Oshawa where they bring their 'defence first' mentality to the GM Centre.
The Generals would only muster 25 shots on goal – and the Majors would only fire 20 shots towards Kevin Baille but would score 3 times (on the powerplay). Partanen, DeMelo and Cobbold were the 'lamp lighters'. Brandon Maxwell would earn his third shutout in the past 5 games. Last time these teams hooked up Goalie Maxwell would shut them out 2-0 in Niagara. The Majors will start their playoff run in Barrie this Thursday.
My prediction: Niagara 2 Mississauga 1
Peterborough at Oshawa
The Petes are a full 10 points behind Oshawa for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Petes have really tailed off with 6 losses in a row and only 1 win in their last 10 games. Their last game was on Thursday night when they were dismantled at Niagara 8-1. Nosad had the only goal for the Petes near the halfway mark of the match. Morrison would allow 8 goals on 42 shots.
Oshawa has played steady hockey with some close losses and a few convincing wins – they have a record of 5-3-2-0 in their past 10 games. Oshawa is coming off a 3-0 loss at home vs. the Mississauga Majors. Three powerplay goals from the visitors and a solid defensive game shut down the Generals this time. The Generals have won the previous 7 meetings of these two teams this season. Last time these teams met was last Tuesday where the Generals would outlast the Petes 4-3. The Generals will start their playoff run on Thursday at Niagara.
My prediction: Peterborough 2 Oshawa 4
Kitchener at Sault Ste Marie
Last night in Saginaw, MI the Spirit were able to edge past the visiting Rangers 4-3. Goals were scored by Iafrate, Sterk and Randell (PP). Reider had an assist to add to his 15 points this month and Faksa also added an assist to his impressive 66 point rookie season. The Rangers will be resting up many of their top players to refresh them for the 'second season' (ie. playoffs) – goaltender Jack Moylan will get the start today. They will hook up with the Owen Sound Attack in the first round of the playoffs starting Friday night.
The Greyhounds hosted the Windsor Spitfires last night in a very eventful game. The Greyhounds are out of the playoff picture and the Spits have claimed the last spot, so there was a great deal of animosity in the game – the referees were very busy with all the goals and the penalties that were called – 5 fights and numerous misconducts. Dubchak and Alderson would score twice, Cousins would notch a goal and an assist and Schwindt would tally 3 assists to push the home side to the 10-9 victory. Sault Ste Marie's powerplay would score 3 times on 5 opportunities. If the Greyhounds win this game, then they will finish 1 point out of the final playoff spot.
My prediction: Kitchener 5 Sault Ste Marie 2

it seems people like putting their $250 piece of equipment on the line by modding it with stuff they have no idea the purpose of. good grief.
My Wii System
GC2-DMS Chipset - Wasabi Dx/Zero
3.2u Firmware - HB Channel - Bootmii as Boot2
Cios R14 - Neogamma R8B7
LG GDR 8163b for backups
Hit the "Thanks" if im useful.
Last edited by ero_sennin; 08-01-2009 at 09:59 AM. Reason: my apology... wrong button..anyway, i tried eject 3x, i cant get into the drivekey menu, but i was able to play a burned game
In the main screen of the Wii system menu, press EJECT three times quickly after eachother, and the disc channel image should change to a gamecube logo.
I think it only works when you don't have a game inserted in the Wii disc drive.
hi all,
i installed my drivekey no problems atall, and my backup games and originals all play, happy days, the one thing i am having trouble with however is loading up the drivekey config menu, i have tried several times, firstly pressing eject 3tims slowly, or quickly in the main menu, and also the same, slowly, or quickly in the disc channel, but even after waiting more than 10 sometimes 20seconds, the drivekey config menu is still not loading, i am assuming its working as i can play my backups, and also the discs are being read. I thought that if there was a problem with the drivekey this would prevent anything being read by the processor seeing as the drivekey sits on the bus between it?
any ideas?
thanks guys
The GameCube logo comes up after just a few seconds.
Hmmm, perhaps you have one of the first DriveKeys from the very first batch, which were called back by the DriveKey team and then sold under a different brand ("Xenowii" IIRC). They don't have the built in config menu and they don't have the update blocker feature, either (very dangerous - you risk blocking your Wii when playing out of region games). They also lack the JTAG update feature, so you should be able to recognize this version of the chip by looking at the chip itself.
i thought that after reading some of the previous posts, but my chip came in the sealed bag, with the sticker and also the JTAG cable to attach, seems to be the newer version of the chip as they mine looks the same as the ones on all website sdvertising the drivekey, well there is no noticable cosmetic difference to it, ill email the website just to check
thanks matt

I have the same problem as Shaker had where the wii remote just locks up once the drivekey config screen loads. The remote just flashes all 4 blue lights at the bottom. I updated my wii to v4.1 and no luck. I just bought the DriveKey so it should be the latest version.
Also, original games play fine, but none of my backup games will play. Just get a black screen with some error message telling me to turn the wii off and on.
Any idea's?
The Wii remote does not work in the config menu! You navigate in the menu by using the reset button on the Wii console itself.
Wrt your backups not playing, it can be anything. Try this with a few games to test: Get a backup .iso with a game of the same region as your Wii (e.g. an NTSC-USA game if you have an NTSC-USA Wii). Make sure it's a full, unscrubbed version of the game. Burn on DVD-R media (use Verbatim if you have any) using IMGBurn at 4x burn speed.
Since you have updated your Wii to the latest firmware, and assuming that you don't have any softmods installed AND that you have installed the DriveKey chip correctly, all games should work for you now. If not, contact your dealer and ask for an RMA.
In reference to the config menu once I have installed my drive key do I need to change some settings in this menu inorder to get the drive key to work. I have tried 5 backups with a error coming up each time. This is my first time modding something and am interesting in learning how to do this properly.
Thanks in advance

Guatemala is the Heart of the Maya World and the country where the Maya civilization reached its maximum splendor, making it the ideal place to experience the culmination of the Maya calendar cycle 13 Bak´tun and the start of a new era for humanity. To commemorate this important historical event, we've designed The Bak´tun Route.
This route allows you to visit 11 ancient Maya cities that were important witnesses of historical events associated with the Maya Calendar, similar to what will happen on December 21, 2012 with the completion of the 13 Bak´tun.
In The Bak´tun Route you'll find monuments, stelae and structures related to the Long Count and / or the Solar Calendar, as well as sites that are still considered sacred places and where Maya people perform religious ceremonies.
Guatemala is the ideal place to understand this concept of time and the perfect setting in which you can LIVE the beginning of this new era. Its ancient ceremonial plazas, impressive archaeological sites and complex texts carved in stone, bear witness to the importance that calendars had during the grandeur of those kingdoms and dominions. In addition, the Maya population of Guatemala has kept alive its Cosmology with many religious manifestations that are practiced daily in various regions and ceremonial sites.
This 2012, the Mayan give us a great lesson that can be transmitted around the world: We need changes in society and human nature, to reach balance and harmony between human beings.
Visit Guatemala and live the change!
Deep in the Maya lowlands' tropical rainforest in southern Petén, on the banks of La Pasión River, you will find Ceibal, one of the most important and monumental cities in the region. This city was named after the numerous kapok trees found there (called Ceiba in Spanish) and one can still admire very fine and well-preserved temples and stelae at the site.
To get to Ceibal, you can embark on a boat ride through La Pasión River, peacefully admiring the tranquility and majesty of the Petén rainforest. If you're lucky, you could also observe herons, crocodiles, turtles, and even hawks.
At the site, you'll find pyramids, ceremonial temples, dwelling complexes, and an Astronomical Observation Complex, also called "Grupo E" (E Group), all surrounded by the breathtaking rainforest, and the singing of birds and howler monkeys.
The main attractions in Ceibal are the five stelae commemorating the end of the Bak´tun 9 and beginning of the Bak´tun 10. These five stelae are located in a pyramidal temple (A-3 structure) on the city's main square, and they are the finest and best preserved from the Late Maya Classic Period (600-900 AD). Four of these stelae are pointing towards the cardinal points, and the fifth is in the center, referencing the end of the Bak´tun 9 and the beginning of the Bak´tun 10 (829 AD).
Getting there
Ceibal Archaeological Park is located in Petén, 18 km away from Sayaxché (a 45 minute ride by dirt road). To get there, you can take a direct bus from Guatemala City to the Island of Flores in Petén with several bus companies. In Flores, take the road to Sayaxché heading towards Raxruhá (2 hours). Ceibal is just a few minutes away from Sayaxché, through a dirt road that's accessible for most of the year (it is advisable to check the accessibility in advance during rainy season).You can also take a boat in Sayaxché and navigate through La Pasión River (1 hour) until you reach the Ceibal pier. Walk uphill for 30 minutes until you reach the visitors' center and the main plaza.
The Kaqchiquel people from the Guatemalan highlands consider Iximche Archaeological Park sacred. Its name comes from the kaqchiquel words Ixim (corn) and Chée (tree), meaning "corn tree" and referring to the breadnut or Maya nut tree (Brosimumalicastrum) that was the basis of the daily diet of the prehispanic Maya people.
The Maya rulers Junton and Vukubatz founded Iximche in 1470, after the alliance between the Kaqchiquel and the K´iche was broken. Moreover, it was the last Kaqchichel capital, as it was set on fire by the Spaniards during the conquest, and then, became the first Spanish capital of the Mesoamerican region (in 1524).
One of the four plazas found at Iximche is used as a ceremonial center. Since many spiritual guides and priests from different ethnic groups in Guatemala come here to perform contemporary Maya ceremonies, the city is known as a place of pilgrimage and Maya rituals.
Getting there
Iximche Archaeological Park is located in Tecpán Guatemala, Chimaltenango, 56 km away from Antigua Guatemala and 91 km from Guatemala City (1 hour). Take the CA-1 road heading west for 88 km. Then, take the detour to the left that takes you to the town of Tecpán, and follow the paved road for 3 km until you reach the archaeological site.
Within Guatemala City lies Kaminaljuyu Archaeological Park. This city was a very important trading center for the Mesoamerican region from the Preclassic (1200 BC) to the Postclassic period (900 AD). While a great portion of this ancient k´iche city has been destroyed by the urbanization of modern Guatemala City, one can still find a fraction of this site in the city's zone 7.
Kaminaljuyu was inhabited by the k´iche from the Preclassic (2000 BC – 250 AD) until the Late Classic Period (600-900 AD), when the population began to divide into the K'iche, Tz'utujil and Kaqchikel groups. This city had great control over the production and export of obsidian in the region, given its proximity to different mines, making it a very important city since obsidian is a type of volcanic glass that was used to produce defense artifacts and everyday tools.
The majesty and importance of this city is also revealed by its complex water supply system, called "Montículo de la Culebra" (The Snake Mound), which consisted of an elevated 5 km long channel that supplied water to the entire city, making it the largest construction in Mesoamerica.
To this day, Kaminaljuyu is still of great importance to the indigenous groups of Guatemala, who continue performing Maya ceremonies in the main plaza, and in a special area designated for this purpose.
Getting there
Kaminaljuyu Archaeological Park is located in Guatemala City, at 11th street and 24th avenue, zone 7.
You can also visit the Miraflores Museum, where you will find archaeological remains found in Kaminaljuyu and in Miraflores. This museum is at 7th street, 21-55 zone 11.
Quirigua is not only recognized for having the largest and best-preserved stelae of the Maya World, it also shelters a great diversity of species, native to the tropical rainforest north of the Motagua River. Because of its great cultural and natural significance, Quirigua was declared by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage Sitein 1981.
In the ballgame plaza of Quirigua, a zoomorphic figure (a stone figure in the shape of an animal) narrates the city's founding under the supervision of Mo´ K´inich Yax K´uk, founder of Copán. Initially, the city shared its power with Copán, but during the Classic period (250 – 900 AD), after defeating and sacrificing the ruler of Copán, 18 Conejo or Uaxac Laun Ubac Cauil, Quirigua became one of the most important cities. It was then when the ruler Kawak Cielo or K´ak´-Tiliw Chan Yopaat, started the project of sculpting zoomorphic monoliths and stelae.
Stelae C at Quirigua has Long Count inscriptions referring to August 13th, 3114 BC. This date is known in Maya culture as "year zero" or "era date", which is considered the date in which the gods set the stones of creation, and is used as the beginning of the Long Count Calendar.
Getting there
Quirigua is located on the eastern region of Guatemala, in Los Amates, Izabal, 57.5 km from Rio Dulce and 208 km from Guatemala City. To get there, drive on the CA-9 North highway from Guatemala to Los Amates for 204 km. Turn right at the park's entrance sign and take the paved road for approximately 5 km, driving through banana plantations, until you reach Quirigua Archaeological Park.
Located in the Maya Highlands of Guatemala, Q´umarka´aj is surrounded by the stunning natural and cultural beauty of Santa Cruz del Quiché. Walking though the site's paths, among cypress and pine trees, you'll be able to enjoy the tranquility only nature can provide.
Q´umarka´aj, one of the largest cities in its time, was the birthplace of prince Tekum, who is thought to be Tecun Uman, Guatemala's national hero who died in battle against the Spaniards. This city, inhabited from approximately 1250 AD, was also the last capital of the K'iche kingdom, which dominated most of the highlands at the time. Despite its long occupation period and great power, Q´umarka´aj was destroyed when it was set on fire by Pedro De Alvarado after learning of a plot against him in 1524.
The city was located on a plateau formed by three architectural complexes divided by ravines. Each of these complexes was inhabited by members of different lineages and where separated according to their power. Four temples commemorating the four founding gods of Q´umarka´aj are found in the main plaza: the temple to Tohil (god of the sky) is located to the East, to the West is the temple to Awilix (god of the moon), the circular temple of the feathered serpent Q´uq´umatz in the center, and to the South, the temple to Jakawitz (the god related to the mountain). A cave system forming a series of tunnels is found on the northern end of the site. It is thought that these caves might represent the "Place of the Seven Caves", TulánZuyuá, described in the legend of the Popol Vuh.
Although the city was looted during colonial times and the structures' materials were used for the construction of buildings in Santa Cruz del Quiché, Q´umarka´aj continues to be a place of great importance to the Maya K´iche people. The site is visited daily for the celebration of religious ceremonies in front of the central plaza and in the caves where it is allowed.
Getting there
Q'umarka'aj is located in Santa Cruz del Quiché, 30 km from Chichicastenango (approx. 30 min), and 167 km from Guatemala City. To get there, take the Inter-American Highway (CA-1) toward Los Encuentros, and turn right on the National Road 15 that leads to Chichicastenango. Continue on for 19 km until you reach Santa Cruz del Quiché. The site is 2.5 km from the town (approx. 10 min by bus). You can also take a bus from Guatemala City straight to Santa Cruz del Quiché, and once you're there, ask for directions to the archaeological park.
Located in the municipality of Retalhuleu, among the slopes of volcanoes and mountains of the Pacific, Tak´alikAb´aj is unique and interesting both for the natural beauty of its surroundings, and for its archeology and history.
Tak´alikAb´aj was inhabited from the Mid Preclassic (800 BC) until the Late Classic Period (900 AD), and played a very important role in the region's trade before it was later dominated by the K´iche in the Postclassic Period (900 – 1200 AD). Because of its long period of occupation, its monuments have depictions of Olmec culture as well as trends of the beginning of traditional Maya style. Among these, there's evidence of the origins of the Maya Calendar and its relation to astronomy.
While most of the monuments in the site have been dated by using the style in which they were carved or made as a time reference, dynastic stelae (portraying rulers or governors) with Long Count dates have also been found. Stela 2 at Tak´alikAb´ajis one of the earliest Bak´tun monuments found in the Maya World, with an inscription dating back to the Bak´tun 8.
Tak´alikAb´aj continues to be of great importance as a ceremonial site to the Mam and K´iche, who still visit the site to perform rituals and ceremonies to bless their crops, family and for important dates such as the Maya New Year.
Getting there
Tak´alikAb´aj is located 199 km from Guatemala City, in the municipality of El Asintal in Retalhuleu. To get there, take the CA-2 road towards the Mexican Border until the detour to El Asintal (km 190.5), which also leads to Tak´alikAb´aj Archaeological Park. Follow this paved road for 4 km until you reach the entrance to the park.
Uaxactun Archaeological Park is located close to Tikal, in Petén, and is surrounded by 47 hectares of dense tropical rainforest. In addition to its unique natural beauty, this city was an important center for the development of monumental art during the Preclassic Period (2000 BC – 250 AD).
Uaxactun, meaning "eight stone", was named after a stelae with an inscription of the Bak´tun 8 in the Long Count Calendar, which was the earliest known date in the Maya World at the time it was discovered.
This city's importance lies in the development of monumental art, evident by the presence of the largest masks in the Maya area.
The Astronomical Observation Complex found in Uaxactun is still very important for the celebration of Maya ceremonies and rituals. Equinoxes and solstices are celebrated every year during the Uaxactun Festival.
Getting there
Uaxactun is located 23 km away from Tikal. To get there, you can take a direct bus from Guatemala City to the Island of Flores in Petén with several bus companies. In Flores, take the CA-13 road towards Melchor de Mencos, taking the detour on the left in the village of Ixlu towards El Remate, until you reach the entrance to Tikal National Park. Then, follow the dirt road for 23 km until you arrive at Uaxactun. Collective buses are available daily from Flores to Uaxactun.
Declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Tikal National Park shelters the remains of one of the largest and most important cities in the Pre-Hispanic history of the Maya Civilization as well as 550 square kilometers of exuberant rainforest, home to a great diversity of flora and fauna.
The city of Tikal was inhabited for nearly 1,500 years, starting in the Mid Preclassic (800 BC), until it was abandoned during the ninth century. The structures and monuments found at this site relate the important role Tikal played in measuring time with the Long Count Calendar, and the commemoration of the beginning of various K´atun periods and of the Bak´tun 9.
To this day, Tikal has the oldest Long Count date recorded in the Maya Lowlands (Stelae 29, 292 AD), indicating that it was the first or one of the first cities to establish a dynastic government that recorded its rulers in stone stelae with hieroglyphic inscriptions. Therefore Tikal recorded a dynastic sequence of 33 successive kings.
One of the few commemorations of the beginning of the Bak´tun 9 is found in Stelae 31 of Tikal, which narrates the story of its first 15 rulers. Other stelae found here also show reference to the celebration of the end of several periods of 20 Tuns (almost 20 years) called K´atuns.
Getting there
Tikal National Park is located north of Guatemala in Petén, 495 km away from Guatemala City (9 hours) and only 64 km from the Island of Flores, Petén (1 hour). To get there, you can take a direct bus from Guatemala City to the Island of Flores with several bus companies. In Flores, take the CA-13 road towards Melchor de Mencos, taking the detour on the left in the village of Ixlu towards El Remate, until you reach the entrance to Tikal National Park. Collective buses from Flores are available daily.
Yaxha-Nakum-Naranjo is an extensive park that shelters four different Maya cities–Yaxha, Nakum, Naranjo and the Island of Topoxte-. The park is also declared as a wetland of global significance and is home to a great variety of migratory birds. The ancient city of Yaxha, located on the banks of the Sacnab and Yaxha lagoons, presents a very unique landscape.
Yaxha is one of the largest Maya cities in Petén, and together with the other cities located in this park, played an important role in the social and political organization of the Central Maya Lowlands. This city was in habited from the Middle Preclassic (1000 - 350 BC) to the Postclassic (900 - 1200 AD) and reached its highest development during the Early Classic, maintaining an important role in the Maya World for over1,500 years. Much of its political history is known from carved monuments found at the site.
In Yaxha there's evidence of the use of the Solar Calendar or Haab as there are architectural complexes, known as E Group, that were used to mark the solar cycle (solstices and equinoxes). There is also a Twin Pyramids Complex, similar to the one in Tikal, which was used to mark and celebrate K´atun cycles (approximately 20 years) of the Long Count Calendar.
The four cities within this park are still of great importance and are visited by several Maya groups for the celebration of religious ceremonies.
Getting there
Yaxha is located approximately 70 km from the Island of Flores in Petén. To get there, you can take a bus from Guatemala City to the Island of Flores with several bus. In Flores, take the CA-13 road towards Melchor de Mencos for 62 km until the village "La Máquina". Turn left and continue on a dirt road for about 11 km until you reach the entrance to the park. There are buses that can drive you to La Maquina village daily.
At El Mirador-Río Azul National Park, located within a world lost in miles of rainforest you'll find the ancient Maya city of El Mirador, five times larger than Tikal, with thousands of mounds still waiting to be explored. El Mirador is a spectacular site where you'll see great diversity of natural resources as well as the largest pyramid in the world.
El Mirador, a city 1,000 years older than Tikal, is the oldest and largest city known to this day for the Preclassic period (2000 BC - 250 AD). It is believed that this city was the capital of the Kan Kingdom, which according to legend is where the Maya culture originated, and was inhabited at the same time the Olmecs flourished in the South Coast. The Maya who lived in El Mirador developed systems for writing, astronomy, mathematics, and agriculture, among others, making them a very sophisticated culture a thousand years earlier than previously thought.
Among the temples and monuments of this site is the tallest pyramid in the Maya region and largest in the world, the Danta Pyramid (300 m wide by 800 m long and 72 m high). There are also astronomical observatories and triadic groups characterized by having one main pyramid and two smaller ones symbolizing creation according to Maya mythology. These triadic groups are associated with the beginning of the Long Count Calendar.
Getting there
Mirador-Río Azul National Park is located in northern Petén, 160 km from Flores, at the heart of the Maya Biosphere Reserve. To get there, you can venture on a three-day trek from the nearest village, Carmelita (60 km away), or you can take a 30-minute helicopter ride from Mundo Maya Airport in Santa Elena.
This archaeological site is located within the former sugar mill called "El Baúl", in Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa. This ancient city used a very special style for art and sculpture known as "Cotzumalguapa art style", which is unique in the Maya World and is very different from other regions.
The earliest date ever recorded in the entire Maya World was found at El Baúl! Stelae 1 from El Baúl is a monument from the Bak´tun 7. This stelae, dated to the year 36 AD, shows one of the first records of the Long Count Calendar and it portrays a ruler who has decapitated a person and planted his head on either a stake or a throne.
Because of its unique style of writing, art, architecture, economics and politics, it is very difficult to determine who lived in this region. However, there is evidence that after the city was abandoned during the Terminal Classic Period (900 BC - 100 AD), Pipil groups settled at the site.
To this day, El Baúl is still an important site for several Maya groups who perform religious ceremonies at a prehispanic altar known as the "Dios Mundo" (World God), which is at the highest point on one of the structures.
Getting there
El Baúl Archaeological Site is located in Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa, in the department of Escuintla.
El Baúl Museum is located within the premises of the former El Baúl sugar mill in Santa Lucía Cotzumalguapa, 3 km from the village and 2 km from the archaeological site.
The Bak´tun Route
Guatemala is the Heart of the Maya World and the country where the Maya civilization reached its maximum splendor, making it the ideal place to experience the culmination of the Maya calendar cycle 13 Bak´tun and the start of a new era for humanity. To commemorate this important historical event, we've designed The Bak´tun Route.

What's worse than flashing your underwear while getting out of a limo? Flashing your lack of underwear while getting out of a limo! We can now definitively say that Anne Hathaway went commando under the Tom Ford gown she wore to the Les Miserables premiere last night at New York's Ziegfeld Theater. It's not the first time she's gone all scando-town on the red carpet (remember this see-through top from 2006?), but this latest wardrobe malfunction makes us nostalgic for the Paris Hilton-Britney Spears train wrecks of yore! Although to be fair to Anne, it's got to be hard to navigate in those funky bondage heals. All in all, she definitely rocked the black widow femme fatale look to the hilt. Potential Catwoman redux, anyone? In an outfit like that, we're thinking yes. Maybe with panties next time, though. Take it down to the gallery below for more!

KNOXVILLE — Our girl from tiny Oliver Springs, Janelle Arthur, got beat up a bit by one of the divas on American Idol on Wednesday night, but she wowed another with her rendition of "You Keep Me Hangin' On."
Nicki Minaj's snipes about Arthur, whom she calls her "Little Marshmallow," visibly upset the East Tennessee singer. Of a duet with Kree Harrison, Minaj said, "Kreedom (Kree Harrison) almost made it look like she flew in to do a duet with an Idol contestant today."
However, after her "You Keep Me Hangin' On" performance, Mariah Carey said: "Janelle at her finest! "Anything that anybody said earlier, she just proved them wrong."

My name is Tuesday F. and I have my opinion to share with the world about divorced parents with children. So, here it goes.
When my parents got divorced, I was totally sad, but I also had many questions. For instance, where is Devlin (my dog) gonna go? How am I gonna split my clothes between two houses? My most important question: how is Mama and Daddy gonna split up the days?
I soon found out that my parents had a court meeting thing discussing everything that had to be done with me and my sister or even finances. Now this is where my opinion comes in, that the children, if old enough to understand the situation,can have a say in the amount of days and when they are gonna be with each parent. It may not have to be exactly what the child suggests, but it sure would make them feel important in the very hard transition. Think about it.

The Libra cat is a people person and her personality is motivated towards establishing good relationships with others. The single life is an incomplete one to Libra and so she needs to relate. The first six signs of the zodiac focused on the individual, while the second half turns their attention outward. Such a pussy cat needs to live in a harmonious environment, and is immediately aware of any imbalance. Libra has a natural charm that is instantly inviting, and you will feel that this kitty really likes you, and she really does see something positive and lovable in everybody.
Pussy galore may flutter her eyelashes at you because she loves flattery, and is usually very aware of her appearance. This is also another Venusian cat that likes to be surrounded by beautiful things, whether its art, fabrics, luxurious floral displays, she is not fond of rough, ugly or dirty conditions. The Librian kitty is very sociable and companionable and feels happiest in the company of others. The liking for the opposite sex is usually very noticeable in this sign.
Just because the Librian cat is quite attractive to have around this doesn't mean that she lacks intelligence, she is not just some piece of fluffy bundle of fur, Libra is an active sign intellectually and it is believed that she possesses both opposite sexes within her. This kitty is comfortable with both her femininity and her cat-like intelligence.
Libra also likes sitting on the garden fence, and may not choose one side over the other. You have one of the more civilised and elegant cats on your hands, and she is unlikely to be deliberately cruel and injure another. Libra has an inability to deal with unpleasant situations, and negative emotions in the environment. However, just having her around makes people want to come together in harmony and she knows how to bridge opposites and smooth any household conflict over, turning her place of residence into a sanctuary of beauty, peace and a generally pleasant atmosphere.
Scorpio is a deeply emotional cat, so don't be afraid of real relating. There is nothing superficial about this moggy, and she does not take intimacy lightly. The Scorpio cat is intense about life and people, and looks for deep meaning in all her interactions.
The Principles of Astrology
The Scorpio cat is monogamous and loyal and if you are the lucky chosen one she wants to share her life with, she will put you above all other relationships. This is how much you mean to her, but mock her sensitivity and feelings for intimacy, you may never see her again, and expect her to withdraw completely. All the famous possessiveness, pride and intensity also exist within her profound nature. This kitty will share in your pain and will be there in the most traumatic times of your life. Scorpio is unflinching about the raw emotional aspects of relating, and where others signs will not be able to deal with the horrors of life, her strength of will, courage and loyalty are second to none.
Sagittarius is also incredibly lucky so get him to kiss your lottery ticket, or even better, get him to help you choose the numbers. Sagittarius may also be very religious, so a nice devout family may suit him well. We may even find many a Sagiitarian cat living in churches or travelling with gypsies, he needs to feel that he is moving all the time. Sagittarius likes to feel like the whole world is an open door, and he is very independent, and many a cat is often jealous of his fun and interesting lifestyle.
Sagittarius is the most volatile of the fire signs and is forever pushing the boundaries, seeing just what he can get away with. Being larger than life he tends to miss what is right under his little button nose, and may even bump into things. However, being so far sighted he can see long off into the horizon towards the next big adventure in his life.
Though you may sometimes feel as if he is giving you a judgmental look, he does have the tendency to be blunt and certainly isn't opinionless. Sometimes he is pretty right about what he intuits. Sagittarius has a belief in life, and never loses hope for the future, and he will bring more expansiveness and luck into your home, as long as you always keep the back door open for him to explore the world outside, so he knows he can come and go as he pleases.
This kitty values hard-work, persistence, and reliability, and she may set herself goals like climbing the top of a mountain, exploring barren, stony slopes. Each and every step is evaluated, calculated, and cleverly contemplated before she has even stepped on to her path. It is not always easy to get to know her straight away, she has learned to keep a part of herself guarded, and has a certain level of mistrust. Sometimes there are complex issues with authority figures early on, and she may have had caretakers who tried to control or dominate her, but sometimes they provide too much for her.
The Capricorn cat needs to learn to stand on her own four feet, rely on her own strengths through her own efforts; she is self-disciplined with a realistic head. It is hard to fool this cat; she's knows a lot about the real world out there. There is a preoccupation in this sign for survival, struggle and testing. The Capricorn kitty is a most reliable companion and she has the enormous strength and power of the earth.
The Aquarian is a little genius, but she may appear as if she is living in the future and
not really grounded in the here and now, and is not always realistic. Perhaps she likes gazing at the night sky for astronomical or astrological purposes, she may like sitting next to the computer and looks genuinely interested about the workings of many systems – technological and universal.
Aquarius is the water bearer who represents the bringing of knowledge, so she needs to be around people who share this vision, but she doesn't usually like getting her own paws wet (a cat being a far-sighted visionary is a hard thing to believe, but just play along). The Aquarius cat may sometimes give the impression of being a touch impersonal and detached, she might even appear unconventional, and she is usually independent, expressing herself in a calm, civilised and removed manner.
Aquarius is capable of immense loyalty and dedication, but she may find it hard to express her personal needs and may possess a sort of rigid pride. Your promethean cat is filled with both mind and spirit and she is quite a liberal cat to have around, she is an inspiring companion in any household, and is quite fond of observing human behaviour. Aquarius enjoys the company of others, and are friendly and she may choose or be drawn to interesting, unusual or slightly eccentric owners.
The Piscean feline is a dreamy looking creature, and she may come across as a complex and otherworldly being. The Pisceans characteristics involve hidden watery depths, sudden storms, and strong shifting currents. She lives in the deepest waters of the human psyche (don't roll your eyes, a cat can be deep and mysterious) and she is a very compassionate, feeling and sensitive kitty. Often very misunderstood, her motivations are not always clearly seen by others.
On the surface she may seem helpless and weak and her owner may feel they have to protect this vulnerable kitty because she doesn't appear be all that worldly. Watch out she doesn't play on her ability to attract sympathy, but she can generally feel victimized in life, and get herself into some terrible scrapes, and she can't always claw her way out, so she is always needs some form of rescuing. Sometimes she lets out a pitiful meow that melts even the hardest of hearts, and there is a softness about her that is completely enchanting. Pisces whirlpool eyes express the inner yearnings of her soul (she is one bottomless kitty) and she has an unusual, but demonstrative silence. There is a great mystery behind her quietness, and elusive charm.
A Pisces cat doesn't cope well with limitations, and at times it may appear as if she has transformed into many different characters, and slips into other roles rather too easily. Our Piscean feline may also disappear frequently, so she can be quite unfathomable, but usually she is evasive in spirit, but sometimes disappears physically for a while to refresh herself. Pisces will make a devoted, gentle and tender companion, so treat her fragility with care.

The nice thing about Mr. Lewis is he's not from Jackson so he offers a fresh perspective.
It's very important that we take our time to select a candidate that has experience in developing and growing a city. It doesn't matter if they are local or from out of state. My preference would be that we find someone who's been to other cities through out the country because they'll bring new ideas, etc.
In these tough economic times, we need experienced candidates. We need to find candidates that have taken a city that was declining in population to a city that is now thriving and growing.
It makes sense to consider using a national organization to help us find a qualified candidate from a larger pool of candidates. The Jonesville search organization that has handled the process to this point has not been serving Jackson well. It's time to look elsewhere.
This is a great idea! I am in favor of year round school. It could potentially save on child care cost and helps students retain the things they've learned.
The best thing we can give our children is a great education. I'd like to see the number of people in Jackson with a college degree increase from 16.4% to 50% but we need our parents to encourage our students to attend school and get a better education.
The schools can't do it on their own. Paren't need to do their part too.
Great job, keep the trail going Scott! Having such a resource attracts more people and businesses which in turn create jobs in Michigan. It encourages people to get outside and exercise which means they become more fit and reduce their health expenses. But all of this takes time to happen.
People that complain, just don't get it. You can sit around and complain all you want but I will be out enjoy the trail, meeting people and getting things done to make Jackson a welcome stop on the trail!
So let me understand....You purposely recommended that business go elsewhere because you don't like someone? How does that help Jackson?
It's time you become part of the solution and not part of the problem. It's time to put your emotions or feelings for someone aside and find a way towork together to attract business to Jackson.
What's your plan for getting Jackson more business?
What have you done to make the community a better place?
At least there is a group out there trying to help make Jackson a great place to live and work.
If we continue to say every idea is bad and won't work, we'll end up being in the same place as we are now.
Jackson offers affordable living compared to Ann Arbor. We offer a parks and recreation, higher education, and culture through museums, performance halls and festivals.
When a company explores areas to devlop, they look for a good quality of life for their employees and they look for easy acces via roads, airports and trains.
The commuter rail is an economic development tool that will be used to attract companies wanting to expand to Jackson. As more companies expand and locate in Jackson, you will see the number of commuters increase. It's that simple folks.
