One of the most basic planning chores during a pilot's preparation for a flight between two airports is to become familiar with terrain elevation on and around the route. Then you scan your navigation chart to locate individual obstructions along your course—both to ensure safe passage and possibly to use one or more of the objects as visual checkpoints.
Give careful study to the chart depictions of those obstructions. There may be more—or less—to them than what meets the eye on a chart. Or their descriptions may warn of incomplete or unverified information.
An aircraft flying between Watford City (N.D.) Municipal Airport and Sloulin International Airport to the northwest flies over an area of terrain approximately 2,000 feet mean sea level with charted maximum-elevation figures of 3,100 feet to 3,400 feet msl.
Several towers are charted obstructions west and northwest of Watford City; the highest one, south of Lake Sakakawea, rises to 2,720 feet msl. Symbols indicate that they are single (not group) obstructions that rise to less than 1,000 feet agl.
Note that one of those towers, identified as rising to 2,699 feet msl, or 310 feet agl (shown in parentheses) has the letters UC adjacent to the symbol. UC may indicate that the obstruction is under construction, but may also mean that the reported position and elevation are unverified, according to the legend of the Billings, Mont., sectional aeronautical chart.
Are there other sources of information about that obstruction?
A pilot conducting a recent preflight planning session for the Watford City-to-Sloulin flight would have found this notice to airmen: !GFK 12/015 S25 OBST TOWER 2698 (310 AGL) 9.5 WNW LGTS OTS (ASR 1058685) TIL 1212201806.
It would be worth knowing about those out-of-service lights that would lower the tower's value as a visual checkpoint, and also for safety in reduced visibility.
As you gain cross-country flying experience, you will discover that not all obstructions are as easily spotted as their chart symbols would suggest—a good reason to build a generous safety margin into your selection of a VFR cruise altitude for flight through an obstacle-filled area.
Test your knowledge of obstruction avoidance with this Air Safety Institute Obstacle Clearance Safety Quiz.
If the cost of a panel-mounted GPS were close to that of a handheld, would you upgrade? If new equipment for certified aircraft cost a fraction more than the experimental version, instead of an order of magnitude, would pilots keep more safety-enhancing tools at their fingertips? Read more >>
This week, AOPA e-Newsletter and Social Media Editor Benét J. Wilson takes a look at apps that help with weight and balance. Those who submitted the apps—WnB Pro, Weight & Balance By NextGenSystems, iFly Weight and Balance for iPad, Sporty's Aviation Weight & Balance iPad/iPhone App, and Appventive Weight and Balance Calculator—felt very strongly about their effectiveness.

The National Air Transportation Foundation has announced the Richard L. Taylor Flight Training Scholarship, the newest addition to the foundation's scholarship program. This scholarship is offered to a college or university student continuing his or her education in the aviation industry. The scholarship is named after professor emeritus Richard L. Taylor, who for 22 years was the director of flight operations and education at The Ohio State University.
The National Aviation Exploring Committee recently awarded scholarships to 10 explorers based on criteria including aviation career goals, community service, and leadership, reports General Aviation News . AOPA is among the organizations that donate to the committee to help fund the scholarships.
Once the sun has set and the night sky illuminates you're in for a mostly magical and peaceful time aloft. And with the winter season's short days and long nights, you may find an afternoon flight spill into the night rather quickly, so why not enjoy this opportunity? First review the Air Safety Institute's Night VFR Flight Safety Spotlight, which offers plenty of night flying resources all in one convenient place. Read more >>
Frank Gallagher, founder of Florida's Aero Club Valkaria, decided on a different strategy when he created the flying club in October 2010—he formed it as a limited liability company in the state. "I looked at different flying club business models. They are either very successful or they flop," he said. Read more >>

Boeing set a record for year-to-date 737 deliveries with its Dec. 3 delivery of the 377th Next-Generation 737. Delivery of the airplane, a 737-900ER for United Airlines, topped the previous record of 376 deliveries set in 2010. In October, the 737 also broke its own record for net orders in a single year when it surpassed the 2007 record of 846 orders. Boeing said net year-to-date orders for the Next-Generation 737 and 737 MAX total 1,031 airplanes.
The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) announced Nov. 30 that federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protections will be extended to flight attendants' work aboard commercial aircraft. The union said the FAA and OSHA worked collaboratively "to reach the policy statement released today that will correct a nearly four-decade-old exclusion of OSHA in the passenger cabin."

The hangar doors rumble open. At the end of a towbar, a low-wing, canopied single rolls into view, twin vertical stabilizers eye-catching at the tips of the horizontal tail. "Look, a Fornair," says a pilot observing through the cafe window. "That's an Aircoupe," states a companion. "It's pronounced Ercoupe," counters another. Sensing imminent controversy, the resident plane spotter seated within earshot praises all the speculations as reflective of the meandering history of this aircraft famously built without rudder pedals on its debut in 1939. This one is a 1946 415-C Ercoupe.

Most of the world is pretty much on board with electronic communications, and email is now a very convenient way to transmit medical records—unless it is going to the FAA's Aerospace Medical Certification Division in Oklahoma City. The office is working toward that goal, but is not there yet. For now, overnight mail, snail mail, and fax are the only acceptable means of providing medical records to the FAA. Read more >>

When Chip Wright of the Flight Training blog was working on his instrument rating, one of the first skills he learned was how to enter and fly a holding pattern. He sometimes had a devil of a time figuring out the proper entry—and at that time, there really was a requirement to get the proper entry and enter the hold properly. Sometimes he had bit of (or a lot of) trouble figuring out the best time or wind correction angle for the outbound leg. Read more >>
Tennessee's Higher Education Commission—Post Secondary Schools Division is regulating VA Approved, Part 141 flight schools under its administrative rules, Chapter 1540-01-02. AOPA Southern Region Manager Bob Minter submitted comments/objections in March, saying in part "this rule discriminates against FAR Part 141 flight schools who have invested extraordinary amounts of money into facilities, equipment and aircraft that now must meet the rules and pay the fees of the THEC at even more expense, thus their customers/students will have to pay more."

Question: What is the retesting procedure for the airline transport pilot (ATP) knowledge test? I know I don't need an instructor endorsement to take the original test, but what if I score below 70 percent?
Answer: The answer is found in FAA Order 8080.6F. If you receive a grade lower than 70 percent and wish to retest, you must present the following to the testing center personnel: the failed Airman Test Report and a written endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying that additional instruction has been given and that the instructor finds you competent to pass the test. If you decide to retake the test in anticipation of a better score, you may retake the test 30 days after the date that your last test was accomplished. The FAA will not allow you to retake a passed test before the 30-day period has lapsed. Prior to retesting, you must give your current Airman Test Report to the test proctor. Be aware that your official score will be the last test taken.

The Use of Spiritualism
by S. C. Hall
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
In 1876 I print it again; and I again add to it. My motive in referring to previous editions is to show that my belief in Spiritualism has undergone no change. I have as entire conviction of its truth as I had thirteen years ago. But I have far less joy in it now than I had then. It is, at this time, not only enveloped in mystery, not only confused, and conflicting, and contradictory; but many of its public professors subject it to the vilest influences, while some of the spiritual publications uphold the filthiest doctrines: taught to them, as they say and probably say truly by Spirits who have lived in earth-life. Spiritualism is none the less a fact a solemn, impressive, and instructive fact. I attribute the decadence in spirit, while the number of believers is largely increasing, to this: Those who might guide it, and ought to guide it, keep aloof from it, and leave the workers for its propagation to their own often wicked devices. They are not encountered, or are insufficiently encountered, by the good and able men who are public advocates of the Spiritualism that upholds the cause of God and promotes the welfare and happiness of man. There are comparatively few ministers of the Gospel who take up the cause: few who enquire, and the few who do lack the courage to avow belief. Yet Spiritualism progresses, and will progress. There are now millions where, twenty-five years ago, there were scores. To stop it is impossible: as easy would it be to stay the inflow of Ocean by a wall of shingles. Our pastors and teachers leave the mighty power for good or for evil in the hands of those who will use, to abuse, it who do use, and do abuse, it. I solemnly warn, therefore, such as are enquirers, neophytes, or acolytes, to avoid, as they would contact with a plague-spot, fellowship and communing with mediums who, under the sway, influence, and dictation of spirits, low or base, or evil, inculcate principles repugnant to natures that are good, and sometimes teach Doctrines of Devils. The purpose of this letter-is first to prove that Spiritualism is reasonably, rationally, and scripturally True; and next, that it is intended to be, and may be, a holy safeguard a whole armour a source of incalculable happiness, a powerful means of strengthening and disseminating the teachings of the New Testament that is to say, Christianity.S. C.Hall. 50 Holland St., Kensington, 1876.

Comments about Comme Des Garcons Perfume:
Years ago I dated a man that wore this scent. I looked for it on-line for quite a few years. I am very pleased that Fragrance X has this product on-line.
This is a mans scent but I highly recommend it to any woman-especially if you are artistic. Why artistic? I find it sums up an artistic personality or at least my personality-strong, playful, and in your face. I use this scent daily. I love how powerful it is! It wakes up all of the senses-especially when you put it on before heading out to work. I would however advise that if you work in food & beverage to not wear this scent as it would interfere with diners experience as it is strong.

They were quite a pair. Juan Jose Palomino was appointed Deputy for Andalucia in 1933 by the II Republic, and was also owner of the Diario de Jerez newspaper. Juan Vergara was also a bit of a businessman, having established a pair of factories, one for pencils and the other for ice. They took over the now lost firm of Jose Bertemati. The Vergara family owned a beautiful mansion called the Atalaya, now the Jerez Museum. They owned 300 hectares of vineyard, and their impressive bodega formed a complex known as the 12 Disciples, but unfortunately only three remain; La Cruce, Pio XII and Dios Baco. The latter, built in 1848, was named after a statue of Bacchus on the facade, one of quite a few embellishments. It contained 2,000 butts and a cooperage.

Tintype takes your mobile photography back in time
Erin Lodi | Published: Jun 14, 2013 at 17:23 UTC4
There's another app on the market that will help take your mobile photography back in time — way back.
Tintype mimics the photographic process of the 1850s, giving the appearance of a very narrow depth of field and heavy textures.
It seems we're seeing a trend toward this new old-school look. We also just told you about Koloid, an app inspired by 19th century wet plate collodion photography. But Hipstamatic did it first with their Tintype SnapPak released in December.
Tintype is free with a $0.99 upgrade option. Learn more about the wet plate collodian tintype process in the video below.

Toyota, Chrysler See Big April Sales Gains
Automakers reported their sales Tuesday. Toyota and Chrysler saw big U.S. sales gains in April, but they came at the expense of General Motors and Ford.
Automakers reported their sales Tuesday. Toyota and Chrysler saw big U.S. sales gains in April, but they came at the expense of General Motors and Ford.
Americans stepped up spending on retail goods in February, evidence that a stronger job market is boosting the economy. Consumers bought more autos, clothes and appliances. They also paid higher prices for gas. Retail sales increased 1.1 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. It was the biggest gain since September.
U.S. factories boosted output last month and December ended up being their best month of growth in five years. Strong auto sales and growing business investment in machinery and other equipment are keeping factories busy and helping the economy grow.
U.S. auto sales are off to a strong start this year, continuing the brisk pace from late 2011. Chrysler had its best January in four years while Ford got a boost from small cars and SUVs. Volkswagen, which wants to aggressively expand in the U.S., reported much higher sales. One sour note was GM, where sales fell.
The U.S. economy grew at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the final three months of last year, the fastest growth in 2011. Americans spent more on cars and trucks, and companies restocked their shelves at the strongest pace in nearly two years. But growth in the October-December quarter -- and all of last year -- was held back by the biggest annual government spending cuts in four decades.
Somebody forgot to tell the automakers that the economy is going downhill: Auto sales in September were up 10% over last year's numbers, with all of Detroit's Big Three posting solid gains. Imports, however, did not fare as well. Can Toyota, once unstoppable, win back its former primacy, post-tsunami and accelerator debacle?
Fears that car buyers would stay away from dealerships in August never materialized. Instead, Americans were lured by new models, cheaper financing and the need to replace aging cars, boost August sales by 7.5%.
Toyota (TM) took the spot as the world's No.1 car company in 2009, replacing GM (GM) which held the honor for decades. Now, GM has taken the position...
Estimates of what will happen to consumer borrowing rates if the government defaults on August 2 are wildly divergent, but some expect that interests on loans could move at least .5% higher. That would certainly hurt the housing market, and could ding the new car market as well.
Gas prices have hit a sweet spot for U.S.-based automakers. They've fallen enough to spur pickup truck sales, yet remain so high that newer small...
Toyota will announce Friday that by September, it expects to have all of its North American plants back to their normal production levels. Then, it can begin attempting to recoup the U.S. market share it lost due to shortages related to the Japan earthquake and tsunami, as well as a slew of recalls.
The first trading day of the month is usually good to equities, but after a two-day respite, stocks went back back to suffering broad-based declines. The sharp rise in oil prices overshadowed some encouraging corporate and economic news.
After reporting a $4.3 billion loss during the last half of 2009, General Motors saw two positive quarters during the first half of the the year and is expected to report a third profitable quarter Wednesday.
Despite pleas by two members of Congress, General Motors said it would proceed with plans to close hundreds of dealerships across the U.S.
General Motors reported Friday that overall vehicle sales in September 2010 climbed 10.5% on a year-over-year basis, based on strong demand for its new generation of crossover vehicles. Among its four core brands -- Buick, Cadillac, GMC and Chevrolet -- GM sales rose 22%.
The recession is squeezing sales of bikes and cars in the first quarter of 2009, but auto makers are being squeezed a bit harder, with more bikes...

How old is your child? Is he/she eating and drinking enough liquids. When the child IS awake is he/she alert, active or is the child lazy and eager to sleep more. if our child is active during awake periods he/she may just be growing. If not, then our child may be sick. Especially if he/she isn't eating/drinking as often as normal. This is especially dangerous if you child is young (under the age of 2-3) because they become dehydrated quickly. If this is the case, I would make a doctor appt as soon as possible.posted 06/06/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Mokane The South Callaway Lady Bulldogs gave themselves a chance with a deliberate offensive approach.
In the end, Miranda Brandt and Allison Mehmert both scored 13 points and state-ranked Chamois outlasted South Callaway in a 30-27 Show-Me Conference victory over the Lady Bulldogs on Tuesday night.
South Callaway (4-3, 1-2 Show-Me) had an opportunity to tie the game and force overtime, but missed a pair of 3-point attempts in the last 10 seconds. The loss stopped the Lady Bulldogs' three-game winning streak.

Do Braxton Hicks feel like menstrual cramps?
I'm getting a variety of information about BH. I'm 39 weeks and up til 3 days ago felt no contractions whatsoever. Then I started to feel several irregular periods of what feels like menstrual pain (lower belly cramping with lower back pain). This has been happening several times a day (sometimes 4 in an hour and then an hour without and then again). I was told that these are BH by friends, but these cramping episodes last at least 4 or 5 minutes and without any hardening of my uterus that I could feel in my abdomen. I thought BH are supposed to be like labor pains with that "hard belly" feeling and only for half a minute. Mine just feel exactly like I'm going to get my period. It's blunt cramping pain that lasts for several minutes. They're not regular anyway. I'm just sick of waiting and want true labor to take over. Can anybody tell me what this menstrual like cramping is?

Every woman is different so it could be BH or it could be real contractions. I had contractions like that for a week before I went into hard labor. Although that sounds discouraging by the time I went into hard labor I was already 6cm dilated and quickly moved to 10cm. Overall from being of hard labor to when my son was born was less then 6 hours. So if you are having contractions that is not a bad thing!!!posted 09/04/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador
-- The U.S. ambassador to El Salvador expressed appreciation to the New Hampshire National Guard for their contribution to the State Partnership Program during a recent trip made by guardsmen here.
Ambassador Mari Carmen Aponte explains that building connections with the Salvadoran community has been an important factor of the State Partnership Program, which is centered around a mutually beneficial exchange of military, business, and educational expertise.
"The fact that the New Hampshire National Guard has taken a special interest in El Salvador has been wonderful for our bilateral relationship," said the Ambassador. "Regular visits of New Hampshire National Guard personnel to the country -- often to the same locations year after year-- provide a sense of continuity in terms of people-to-people relations."
Ambassador Aponte and her staff visit Salvadorans in the community regularly and they have had the opportunity to see the impact of the State Partnership Program firsthand.
"I know that U.S. Embassy personnel in San Salvador do our best to visit people and projects and neighborhoods in the course of our regular duties," said Ambassador Aponte. "But when groups of guard personnel come down on a regular basis and present gifts or construct schools or bring messages from the people of New Hampshire, it adds a unique connection with that community that makes residents there feel especially appreciated. That connection, in turn, helps to spread the message that Americans care about this country in a way that official embassy-sponsored donation events could never do."
Ambassador Aponte identifies the value of the NHNG's relationship with El Salvador.
"El Salvador is a country that is vulnerable to severe natural disasters resulting from hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides and volcanic activity," Aponte said. "I know that the guard has responded superbly to similar emergencies in their home state and in neighboring states, such as in the case of Hurricane Sandy. I would love to see you continue to share your experiences about disaster response with the Salvadoran institutions responsible for responding to such events in this country."
She points out the importance of the relationship building that takes place during the visits to El Salvador.
"We welcome any person-to-person interactions that can help to further our good relations with the citizens of this country," said Aponte. "For all it's beautiful mountains and pristine beaches, El Salvador is not without its problems. It is the people-to-people interactions, like those fostered by the State Partnership Program, that inspire people to find new and creative ways to improve the world around them."
Ambassador Aponte expressed her gratitude to the New Hampshire National Guard in their continued partnership with El Salvador.
"Thank you for your interest in this small but wonderful country," said Ambassador Aponte. "You picked a magnificent corner of the world in which to invest your time and attention. I can assure you with absolute confidence that Salvadorans maintain very positive views of the United States and appreciate the work that is done here."
The ambassador encourages members of the Guard to continue to participate in this important state partnership.
"Please continue to return and share your experiences with the people of this great country," said Aponte. "If you need any assistance in your outreach, I guarantee that our U.S. Embassy mission here in San Salvador will be always happy to help."
The State Partnership Program with El Salvador has been active since 2000 and has produced eighty-four mutually beneficial exchanges with New Hampshire. More than twenty events are planned for 2013.

SEO refers to Search Engine Optimisation. SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a Website from search engines. SEO can also be referred to as SEF, or Search Engine Friendly.
See also:
- Beginners: Address Search Engine Optimisation
- Making your site Search Engine Friendly
- How do you implement Search Engine Friendly URLs (SEF)?
Joomla specific SEO / SEF tricks:
Fixing Broken Site When SEF is Enabled
Situation: Joomla template missing. Pages displayed with no templates.
To correct the problem when enabling Search Engine Friendly URLs in the Global Configuration, edit the configuration.php file variable $live_site.
The default $live_site variable in configuration.php is
var $live_site = ''
If Joomla is not in the root, then you need to include the folder path
var $live_site = 'http://www.mysite.com/myjoomlafolder'
See also Why does your site get messed up when you turn on SEF (Search Engine Friendly URLs)?
Add a static text in the <title>
See also: Customize the dynamic page title
Add Heading Tags in the Titles for More Relevance
Search engines give a special relevance to the sentences between a "H" tag like
,
 or
.
I you want put a "H" tag to joomla 1.5 you need edit some files:
Override components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog.php
search for this piece of code (Line 5):
<div class="componentheading<?php echo $this->params->get('pageclass_sfx');?>"> <?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?>

add your "H" tags between the title like this:
<div class="componentheading<?php echo $this->params->get('pageclass_sfx');?>">
<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('page_title')); ?>

If you add more "H" tags between the joomla titles search into the tmpl directories for the code:
And add the "H" tags.
Remember to normalize the font-size of the "H" tags using CSS. For example, edit your template css and add something like:
.componentheading h1 { font-size: 16px; }
To override the output of a component or module see: How to override the output from the Joomla! core
Utilize RSS Feeds for Search Engines
Some search engines allow you to submit feeds to them for utilization in their search capabilities. Yahoo! Site Explorer [siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com] is one such service. This is a powerful way for sites that regularly update their content to get relevant search placement. It can also be used for simpler sites that have fairly static pages. This procedure will explain how to create feeds for pages within your site, be it static or not.
In Joomla! 1.5.3: If you are not using sections and categories for your static pages, create a generic section for these static pages, such as "website content". Create separate categories for each static page. Change your menu items from, for instance, Article Layout to Category Blog Layout. Under the advanced parameters for the menu item, make sure that the show a feed link item is set to show. Make sure the syndicate module is published. If it isn't go to the Extensions Menu, select Module Manager, select the new icon, select Syndicate and publish the module in the desired position. You can then view the site and copy the URLs for each feed to submit to each search engine.
NOTE: You should have SEF enabled for this to work well.
Dynamic MetaDesc in a list of articles by category
When you view a list of articles by category, joomla put into the page the default configuration metadescription, but perhaps we want write the category description into the metatag for SEO reasons.
For this we need open the file includes/application.php.
Search for this piece of code in the function &getParams:
$params->def( 'page_title' , $title ); $params->def( 'page_description', $description );
Add this code before:
if (strcasecmp($_GET['view'],'category')==0) { $description = $database->GetOne("SELECT description FROM #__categories WHERE id={$_GET['id']}"); }
Now the metadescription is more dynamic when you view a list of articles by category.
Change default SEF suffix from .html to .htm
If you need to change default article SEF suffix from .html to .htm (for example, if you need to move static site to Joomla and keep existing urls with .htm extensions), you need apply following patch to includes/router.php (working on Joomla 1.5.9, should work on other 1.5.x versions):
Index: includes/router.php =================================================================== --- includes/router.php (revision 13023) +++ includes/router.php (working copy) @@ -57,8 +57,13 @@ { if($suffix = pathinfo($path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION)) { - $path = str_replace('.'.$suffix, '', $path); - $vars['format'] = $suffix; + if ($suffix == 'htm') { + $path = str_replace('.'.$suffix, '', $path); + $vars['format'] = 'html'; + } else { + $path = str_replace('.'.$suffix, '', $path); + $vars['format'] = $suffix; + } } } } @@ -93,7 +98,8 @@ { if($format = $uri->getVar('format', 'html')) { - $route .= '.'.$format; + //$route .= '.'.$format; + $route .= '.htm'; $uri->delVar('format'); } }
Note: This patch only for bundled SEF plugin

My eleven year old son hasn't worn shorts for about two years - ever since his legs started growing hair. He wears long pants during PE, and we're heading out to a hot climate for vacation where he will have his legs covered. And mind you, the hair is a very light brown, straight, isn't that thick - in fact, it barely shows. I feel bad for him that he is embarrassed and I would like to help him feel better about himself and his body. I've bought cool looking shorts, long pants where the bottoms zip off to make shorts, given him hand-me-downs from his beloved older cousin, and he won't bite. Will he outgrow it? Concerned mom
Think of the ways that you dress that could be more practical, and have some empathy for him. I still have vestiges of my SF outfits that seem a little silly here in Davis. I still refuse to wear sleeveless shirts because my upper arms are flabby. We all have our vanity. maybe this year I'll go sleeveless...maybe not
He made this preference know to me when he was about 8 or 9, ''I would rather just wear long pants.'' As simple as that. When I asked him about it, he stated he was just more comfortable. We travel quite a lot and occasionally he will wear cropped cargos, sort of surfer style, that go past the knees or those lightweight zip offs you talked about. Most of the time he prefers jeans, but he'll wear lite cargos if it is very hot.
If your son did not state he was uncomfortable with his legs, maybe it just that he prefers to have them covered. Here's another thought: My middle child was playing in shorts in the driveway the other day and tripped over a toy, skinning his knee. His older brother was going past him into the the house, and in the derisive tone that only a teen can possess said to him, ''you should really wear long pants...'' East Bay Mom
My daughter wore a bathing suit in winter, too. Been There Too
In most of the hotter places in the world people cover their bodies. There are good reasons for this. Keeping direct sun off the skin lessens the risk of skin cancer, and keeps the skin cooler. Wearing light colored clothing reflects light, also providing a cooling affect.
Instead of trying to make him wear shorts, get him some summer-weight long pants made of cotton, linen, or some new miracle fabric. He'll be comfortable, and he'll be appropriately dressed in case your trip includes visits to churches or other places where shorts are not permissible attire. In fact, he'll be better prepared as a respectful tourist than are most Americans, who think they should be able to wear whatever they want, wherever, whenever. Don't need shorts to be cool
My son received a My Little Pony T-shirt for Christmas from his friend and wants to wear it to Berkeley High. My Little Pony consists of very feminine drawings of ponies in girly colors (pink, lavender, etc.) that for some reason is popular with young guys. The pony on the shirt features pink and my worry is that kids will gay-bash and bully him for wearing a pink & white pony. This link shows it: http://www.welovefine.com/1802-sweetie-bell-derailed-pullover.html http://www.welovefine.com/1361-rainbow-dash-paint.html People say ''It's Berkeley, that won't happen. It's too liberal.'' I say gay-bashing is everywhere, and teen boys are extremely insecure of their masculinity. It isn't worth getting beaten to a bloody pulp just to show off your taste in cartoons. In middle school there was lots of gay-bashing and those kids are now at Berkeley High. I want to hear of experience with this, not just opinions & speculation. Anyone know of boys wearing such shirts at Berkeley High? Concerned
We've had discussions (re: other 'style' and choice of acoutrements) about what is the message you're trying to get across, what is the potential fallout and is it worth it, what other options are there, what specifically are the risks both physically and in the conclusions other kids draw, how will he deal with various responses, is there someone (friend or teacher) who 'has your back'. As they get older, these are the conversations they need to be having internally because we won't be there to decide for them and they need to be learning to assess the situation and make decisions. anon
Now, if your problem is that your son is gay, or you suspect he's gay, you've got a problem you need to wrestle with - and it isn't Bronies. Bronies aren't gay or straight or trans - just good fun.
Your son has a right to his own sexual identity and privacy. If he's told you he's gay, your fear of bullies and alienation will not lead to greater acceptance and esteem - rather the contrary. He must *own* his identity proudly. And you should be proud of him as well and not be afraid. Would you hide your religion? Your gender? Your intellect? Your feelings?
This is giving into fear. Fear has to be faced. Yes, he may be teased. And yes, there may be an idiot who tries to bully him. But bullies prey on the weak. Fear makes one weak, but pride and awareness of one's own genuine identity makes for a man or woman strong enough to endure - and capable of fighting for others who need his or her strength. And if he hasn't said he's gay, back off mom. It's not really any of your business. A T-shirt is a T-shirt and nothing more. Good Luck

5 Yoga Poses to Relieve Stress at Work
No matter whether you're the most easy-going gal around, stress can get to all of us. Your back tenses up. Maybe you get a headache. You might snap at your loved ones. Stress is unavoidable; we're only human after all. And when it comes to work, even the most organized of people can get stressed out. But there are ways to combat stress and yoga is a wonderful option.
Before we get into how yoga can help relieve stress, let's discuss a few other quick ways to relax — especially during the work day when you maybe can't get to the gym or pop off for a yoga class, which you may only get to do before or after work.
Quick Stress Relievers
- Walk Around: Take a quick walk around the block or do a few flights of stairs at a comfortable pace. Getting up and moving helps keep your blood flowing, sending oxygen to your brain. You'll clear your mind and recharge yourself.
- Take Deep Breaths: When you feel tension building, push back from your desk, close your eyes, visualize a "happy place" and take five to 10 deep, relaxing breaths to bring yourself back to a calm place and again focus your mind. This also works if you're stuck in traffic — just keep your eyes on the road!
- Stretch it Out : Your body always benefits from movement and stretching . Stand up, shake off (literally just shake out your arms, hands, legs, head, etc.) and do some easy stretches at your desk or in the break room. Bend over, touch your toes and hold that pose for 30 seconds. Raise your arms over your head, clasp your hands and stretch up and from side to side. Raise and lower your shoulders. Stand up and sit down without using your hands to assist (this will help activate your core).
- Listen to Music : Not all music calms us down. You may love dance music or heavy metal, but it's stimulating. Classical music works to calm the mind. We like to listen to this fantastic mix of the "100 Most Beautiful Songs" and have found it helps us get more centered.
5 Yoga Poses to Relieve Stress
Now if you do find that you have time to get in a yoga class or two per week, great. If not, below are five easy poses you can do at home before or after work — or even at your desk if you have some space. Why yoga? In general, the ancient practice is a great stress reducer. When you have high stress, your brain releases a large amount of the hormone cortisol , which helps you deal with physical and emotional emergencies, into your body. This can lead to ulcers, weight gain and illness. So when you do yoga, you focus on your breathing, which helps to calm your mind and racing thoughts and brings those false emergencies into check. If you practice yoga, even a few minutes a day, using the following poses, you should be able to help reduce stress in your daily life.
Seated Cat/Cow is a chest and collar bone opener and warms up your spine
Standing Half Moon with one hand on desk lengthens the spine and stretches the side of your body
Eagle Arms relieves tension at base of the neck and shoulder
Twisted Chair Pose (left) helps to wring out and lengthen the spine while detoxifying organs (you can do a variation on this — a chair twist ( right)— and stretch your spine while seated at your desk)
And for a little animated fun ... the finger roll (first gif), forearm stretch (not shown), wrist roll (2nd gif) and shake (just shake out your hands and arms) all help to prevent carpal tunnel.

Blunt, existential reminders, like Robert Herrick's poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time," have been around for ages, always providing a tap on the shoulder that, dear mortal, the clock is ticking.
PHOTOS: Mouth-Watering Maps Continue to Map Big Data
For a more literal interpretation of this carpe diem theme, there's Tikker, a watch that not only tells time, but counts down the years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds until your death. Sure, it's a morbid accessory, but like Herrick, Tikker's creator wants to remind people to lead a more vibrant life.
"I think we can have a better life, and make better choices, if we are more aware of our upcoming expiration, Fredrik Colting told Mashable. "It gives us perspective — the little stuff suddenly doesn't seem so important anymore. That's why I see Tikker as a happiness watch."
The watch comes with a questionnaire designed to help wearer's estimate their remaining years. Once programmed, the liquid crystal display starts the count down. Launched as a now-funded Kickstarter campaign, the black and white time piece can be yours for $39.
BLOG: Smart Smoke Alarm Is A Hot Commodity
"Tikker isn't really about the technology, because what it is, in its most basic form, is an advanced egg timer," Colting said in an interview with All Things D. "But the point we are trying to make is that the wearer should in some way be conscious of their own expiration, and that in turn will make you better appreciate life. Like people who've had near-death experiences, or lived through diseases."

Aysha Hidayatullah presents the first comprehensive analysis of contemporary feminist interpretations of the Qur'an. Synthesizing prominent feminist readings of the Qur'an in the United States since the late twentieth century, she provides an essential introduction to this nascent field of Qur'anic scholarship and engages in a deep investigation-as well as a radical critique-of its methods and approaches. With a particular focus on feminist "impasses" in the Qur'anic text, she argues that many feminist interpretations rely on claims about feminist justice that are not fully supported by the text, and she proposes a major revision to their exegetical foundations. A provocative work of Muslim feminist theology, Feminist Edges of the Qur'an is a vital intervention in urgent conversations about women and the Qur'an.

Packaging the Future: The Road to Greener Packaging at Ben & Jerry's
Posted By Starre Vartan On January 8, 2011 @ 12:45 pm In Green Graphics & Packaging,Green Products,Innovation,packaging-the-future | 1 Comment
Despite the fact that Ben & Jerry's [1] was bought by Unilever a while back, it has still engaged in some pioneering work — from encouraging customers to oppose GMOs [2] to donating thousands each year to local charities, to buying brownies from a bakery that helps ex-cons get back on their feet by providing their first job outside jail. Most recently they've committed to sourcing all of their ingredients through Fair Trade programs [3] by 2012 (considering the quantities of chocolate, vanilla, coffee nuts, and more, this is a pretty big deal to farmers in developing countries where this stuff is grown). All of these initiatives took time to implement, and their packaging story is even longer — it has been evolving over the past 20+ years. Read on for an in-depth look at the company's packaging and production process – complete with an exclusive interview with Andrea Asch, Ben & Jerry's manager of natural resources!
This is the story of how the best of green intentions can go bad. Or if not bad, then at least not as well as had been hoped. Many consumers (and plenty of environmentalists) get frustrated by how slowly most companies respond to new developments; Why can't we have biodegradable plastic bags everywhere, now? When are we going to have plugs for electric cars so they're really easy to recharge? WHEN is somebody going to create delicious, edible packaging? (Unfortunately, this column is not about the latter, but it is about how quickly- and easily- change can happen inside a company.) But the (boring) truth is that even the most progressive companies can't change overnight.
When I recently had the chance to spend the day up at Ben & Jerry's headquarters near Burlington, Vermont, I had organized a raft of questions, one of my biggest centering around why the company had abandoned their unbleached cartons [5](which I thought were almost as important a visual statement about rejecting the American obsession with bleached whiteness as the actual reduction in chlorine effluent with such packaging is). As you can tell from the fact that I write this column, I'm totally fascinated with packaging and assume most companies don't spend nearly enough time thinking about it as they should.
I spoke at length with Andrea Asch, the Manager of Natural Resources for Ben & Jerry's, who has been with the company for over 20 years, so she really knows her stuff about how to keep ice cream, froyo and other frozen treats cold and fresh, including rules and regs I had no concept about (the FDA says you can't package food in recycled containers, who knew?).
Andrea told the me the (very) long story about how the company had tried a number of packages, why they abandoned the brown eco pints [5], and where they were headed next. Her knowledge of the past and future of packaging at the company was totally fascinating to me; check out her (edited) tour of how tough it actually IS to package products responsibly.
Hear more from Andrea and how Ben and Jerry's uses their waste ice cream to create energy here. [6]

A former Wayne County resident has been arrested for killing two people in Iowa over the weekend.
Atiba Spellman was arrested Monday in Pikeville after deputies spotted him driving down a highway. Deputies had been alerted that Spellman was wanted in a double murder that happened Saturday in Ames, Iowa and that he might have returned to Pikeville.
Spellman is in jail without bond, awaiting his return to Iowa to face the two murder charges.
The NBC station in Des Moines says Spellman is accused of killing Michael Odikro and Shakena Varnell, both of Ames. WHO-TV says Odikro's body was discovered outside of an apartment building on Saturday morning, and Varnell's body was located inside an apartment.

50/52 | God Save The Queen: Fett Pistols
52 Weeks of Star Wars is a weekly photo project starring various characters from the Star Wars franchise. This photo project is a continuation of sorts to my original series; 365 Days of Clones, specially my Cloned Photos mini-series.
Today marks the Fiftieth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be album covers, some will be film posters and others will be famous or well known images of the 20th century. There may even be the odd recreation of a painting!
"God Save The Queen: Fett Pistols" is my recreation of the Sex Pistols' second single called; God Save The Queen and was originally released during Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo base upon this particular album cover. This one seems a little obvious, Queen Elizabeth has simply been replaced by Queen Amidala. The hard part here was figuring out what the name of the band would be. The Max Rebo Band and Cantina Band came to mind, but they were from the original trilogy and I didn't like how that felt. I ended up with "Fett Pistols" as it sounded similar to "Sex Pistols" and I figured only the Fetts (Jango and Boba) would have the guts to pull a stunt like the Sex Pistols had.

About World Imports Lighting
Lighting for the home is designed to provide brightness, and it should also add visual appeal. If you prefer lighting that's more on the decorative side, then World Imports lighting is for you.WorldImports indoor and outdoor lighting is available at LightingShowplace.com.
Since 1967, World Imports has been providing its customers with lighting placed at a higher standard of beauty and functionality. World Imports has remained committed to offering sophistication in its interior and exterior lighting, and homeowners and professional designers have helped to make this brand an industry favorite. Whether it's French countryside beauty, English Manor elegance, or modern European style, World Imports offers interior and exterior lighting to upgrade any location. Choose from bathroom lighting, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, island fixtures, pendants, wall lights, and a host of complementary outdoor lighting.
Indoor Lighting
Bathroom lighting should be fun and functional. World Imports bathroom lighting provides flattering light to begin and end your day by. These fixtures are available with one, two, three, and four lights. The smaller lights are ideal for placement on the wall of the bathroom, and larger fixtures provide the perfect light over the bathroom mirror. Look for many World Imports bathroom fixtures to be reversible, for up- and down-lighting capabilities.
Ceiling fixtures are found in just about every room, and a World Imports ceiling fixture is a true upgrade. These flushmount and semi-flushmount ceiling fixtures are perfect for placement throughout the home, including the hallway, guest room, kitchen, laundry room, entryway, and home office.
If you're searching for a light fixture that provides the best brightness for a larger space, it has to be the chandelier. World Imports chandeliers feature design elements that add a huge amount of visual appeal, and they can easily become a focal point in any room. Chandeliers from World Imports are available in a number of sizes, as large as three tiers and 21 lights (perfect in a great room or entryway) and as small as a three-light mini chandelier (ideal over a breakfast nook).
Island fixtures add a distinct look and style wherever they're placed. World Imports island fixtures are perfect when placed over a longer setting, like a dining room table, kitchen island, or billiard table (these lights are also called billiard fixtures). A few island fixtures from World Imports are also available as functioning pot racks, allowing you to hang the pots and pans you use the most where they're most convenient.
Choose a World Imports pendant, and you're choosing a light that instantly upgrades any room. Whether it's the single-light mini pendant for task lighting, or a bowl pendant for more light in a larger space, these fixtures feature design elements that offer sophistication and elegance.
A World Imports wall sconce is perhaps the perfect light. When it's placed in a hallway, it provides just the right amount of light so you don't always have to use a ceiling light.

Outdoor Lighting
World Imports outdoor lighting accomplishes many things for the home. The brightness it provides increases visibility around the home, which offers higher security. It can also add beauty to the home's exterior, and boost the home's curb appeal and overall value.
Outdoor wall sconces are the most popular outdoor lights, and their brightness is the ideal way to make an unforgettable first impression. Outdoor pendants and outdoor ceiling fixtures provide the ideal complementary light, and outdoor post lights illuminate any possible trouble spots around your front yard while welcoming your guests.
An interior or exterior light should provide more than just illumination. World Imports lighting adds style and amazing beauty through its choice of European-inspired design elements. You can find World Imports lighting at LightingShowplace.com.
