- Study: Oil and gas waste, enhanced recovery wells linked to quakes
Gov. John Hickenlooper's administration has joined a lawsuit, filed by an oil and gas trade association, seeking to invalidate Longmont's voter-adopted citywide ban on a key drilling technology.
In December, the Colorado Oil and Gas Association filed a lawsuit opposing the ban on hydrofracturing, or "fracking," in Longmont.
Based on a motion by the association, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has been added to the suit in Boulder County District Court.
"The COGCC did not initiate this lawsuit or this process," Matt Lepore, executive director of the commission, said in a statement.
"That said, the COGCC does believe Longmont's ban on hydraulic fracturing is contrary to state law, and we believe clarity from the courts on this matter is important," Lepore said.
Fracking pumps large volumes of water, sand and trace chemicals into a well under pressure to crack rock and release oil and gas.
Longmont voters passed a resolution last November, with a 60 percent yes vote, to change the city charter to prohibit fracking.
Nearly all wells in Colorado are fracked, according to state data.
The state is already suing the city for its oil and gas regulations, which include limits on fracking, contending that only the state can regulate drilling siting and operations.
The suit challenging the rules was filed last July. At the time, Hickenlooper said Longmont's action would create pressure for other local governments to adopt their own regulations and "stir up a hornet's nest."
"It is consistent," said Bruce Baizell, energy program director at the environmental group Earthworks. "I am surprised that the governor would go after a democratically voted-on resolution."
Rigo Leal, a spokesman for Longmont, said the city "does not comment on ongoing litigation."
COGA also declined to comment on pending litigation, Doug Flanders, the association's polic director, said in an e-mail.

Cake pops are usually made by mixing up cake and frosting together, into a dense and truffle-like ball. The frosting helps the cake pops hold their shape, while the cake gives them body, and everything is simply blended together in a bowl before the cake pops are shaped by hand.

Tourism bureau's marketing campaign focuses on S.D.'s hidden gems in bid to lure travelers from the West
San Diego surfing legend Rob Machado says he's a big fan of Swami's. Celebrity chef Marcela Valladolid raves about the city's street food. Self-described "beer geek" and Stone Brewing CEO Greg Koch shares his passion for local craft breweries.
They're among the stars of a new San Diego marketing campaign that the city's Tourism Authority hopes will persuade out-of-towners from around the Western states to pay a visit.
Dubbed "Guides to the Good Stuff," the digital campaign showcases San Diego attractions, from golf courses and local theater to craft breweries and the zoo, through the eyes of the experts.
In addition to Machado, Valladolid and Koch, the short video clips also feature photographer Aaron Chang, San Diego Symphony Director Jahja Ling, "golf ambassador" Tina Mickelson and San Diego Zoo Animal Care Supervisor Rick Schwartz. Each of them were asked in interviews to reveal their favorite local spots or hidden gems.
The videos will appear on websites such as TripAdvisor and Lonely Planet and can also be seen on the Tourism Authority's own website, sandiego.org.
In all, there are more than 15 video interviews, with more to be added in April and May.
The insider tips will also be incorporated into the Tourism Authority's vacation planning guide and in inserts placed in newspapers such as The Orange County Register and Los Angeles Times, said Kerri Verbeke Kapich, a senior vice president with the tourism bureau.
The "Good Stuff" campaign will supplement the television advertising that the agency is also undertaking in key markets.
"All the research we've done show people really like the television ads but you have to do more than a 30-second TV spot," she said. "The guide is really about people who can give you a new idea or a new insight as to why San Diego is unique or what they enjoy about San Diego. The TV ads get the awareness up and then these ideas give people a reason to stay longer and come back again."
The digital ads will be seen through late April in key markets, including Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Seattle and Portland. A second round of the campaign, in partnership with SeaWorld San Diego, will run from late April through June.
The $670,000 first phase of the digital initiative is part of the Tourism Authority's $12 million spring "Happiness is Calling" marketing campaign.
The advertising effort marks a sharp turnaround from last year, when the agency had to lay off a sizable percentage of it staff and cut back on much of its TV commercials following a dispute with then-Mayor Bob Filner over the financing mechanism for tourism marketing.
A hotelier-run Tourism Marketing District relies on a 2 percent surcharge on hotel room bills to finance most of the city's advertising efforts. Much of that money had been frozen because of city liability concerns related to ongoing litigation challenging the levy.

Ways to Design an efficient Website in a simple manner
When you think about a website, the first thing that comes to your mind would be the compilation of correlated and interconnected web pages, images, videos or other digital resources which is addressed relation to a general or same Uniform Resource Locator or URL as it's known to be. You can also say that a website is a collected works of information in relation to some particular topic. And how is this arrangement or compilation of a website happens? The process of arranging or formulating a web page is known to be as designing a website. Web pages are nothing but the basic component of a website.
Important element of a good website design are few but very important in making the website rank high and reaches more people effectively. Web site designing is like an art that needs to draw the attention of viewers and must come out naturally from the web designers.
Text and the content in the website are the fundamental parts of a high-quality website designing. People don't like to see those jazzy over bright colors to dazzle out of their screens and hence make the work look decent with big clear fonts on a vague or mat-finish looking background to give the website a chic look. Web designers must be able to develop web pages in away that they cane be downloaded as quickly as possible as late downloads will annoy patrons. Web designers must make sure that the home page looks very clear, easy to understand note recounting what is the theme of the website and about what it has inside it in simple form. A good Web designer makes sure to give importance to three fundamental qualities, that is- simplicity, clarity and speed. In other words, you can say that, a good website is something that is nice-looking, easy to navigate and has a great download speed.
If web designers have to design such kind of a web site with great appeal visually, then it has to have basic uncomplicated graphics, color as well as some extra graphical text. Web designers has to make sure that the text labels indicate frankly what the user will be seeing when he/she clicks it. Usage of margins or padding around headings looks smarter and same ways a lot of White space sis something that can keep things looks simple and cool.
Uniformity is one among the most essential instrument for the website designers who plan to give out a quality website. Web designers are expected to be exceptionally reliable. Website designers use colors simply to follow the users who feel extremely happy. What ever color you may choose according to the theme of the website is even important in deciding the look and mood of the website. If you try using a background which is light and the object that is place on top of the back ground is of some kind of dark shade then the contrast between the colors shows out so obviously. It is always advisable to employ a trained person instead of a newbie to give a start to your website coz, they may charge more but still can give you a quality finish as you expected.

Kanger ProTank II - Clear Glass
The Kanger ProTank II offers the same great features and performance as the Kanger ProTank but now has removable parts and a removable drip tip.
The Protank II is 510 threaded and will work on all 510 threaded devices and Mod's without the need for an adapter.
Replaceable Atomizer Heads (can be used with eVod coils or vice versa see note below)
Bottom Coil for better performance from your eliquid
Removable and replacable Pyrex Glass Tank for protection from harsh liquids
Capacity is 2.5ml but it can hold up to 3ml if you fill it at less of an angle.
Included coil ohms are dependant on what Kanger ends, it's usually 2.5 or 1.8ohms, if you need different ohms replacement coils in 2.5, 2.2ohms and 1.8ohms are available here
Uses the same coils and base as the original ProTank
Please Note: This is the NEW Protank that comes completely apart, please see the pictures for a parts list.
Also, let the ProTank sit for a moment after filling, a minute first to let the liquid get to the coil. Not allowing it to sit can cause a burned coil.
1 ProTank II
1 ProTank Base (uses the same base as the original protank)
2 ProTank Coils (uses the same coils as the original protank)
1 Drip Tip
1 Cardboard/plastic box to store the tank.
Please note: Kanger is now putting stickers on the outside of the shrinkwrap for more authenticity.
Dimensions: 49.55mm Height (without drip tip) x 18.35mm Diameter
Eric's Notes:
Please be careful with this tank, it is made of glass and can shatter and break if dropped. Breakage of the tank is not warrantied, the glass tops can be purchased (soon)
Also, the eVod and ProTank coils are interchangable Also, Kanger has shipped these as 2.5ohms and they should both be 2.5ohm coils, but occasionally Kanger swaps them without the vendor knowing. Please also note that there have been varying reports that the ProTank II (and I) sometimes have issues when tightened down too far on certain devices (like mods, ZMax, Vamo, ProVari etc). This isn't something covered, if it's not making a good connection, back off on the device, or use an adpater to raise it up. If you need a new base, they are for sale.
The coils are not warrantied, ohms are not exchangable.
Eric's Review:
LOVE It. Great improvement with the removable drip tip and the ability to fix a broken glass tank, I will also have the replacement glass shortly. That said, if you do not wish to fiddle with the parts and do not mind the original ProTank tip, then this isn't an "upgrade" for you, I prefer the original because the drip tip is permanent, but now you have the option! :) It uses the same base as the original so be carefull with this, it is top heavy and needs to be handled with care, there have been a lot of ProTank bases that have snapped. Do not keep it attached to your battery when not in use, do not store it in a pocket or purse attached to the battery.

I loved this tank at first, but now I'm looking into other tanks. After about a week, it started leaking like crazy, I kept getting juice in my mouth. Myself and my friend (he recommended this tank to me) have taken this tank apart and cleaned everything, and it still leaks. And now I can't even get the bottom off to refill the tank. I am new to vaping, and maybe I got a bad tank (which is why I'm willing to give 3 stars...), but I'm definitely done with this one.
Posted by cliffsideberndt on 29th May 2015
I've had mine over a year and has never leaked or any other problems. As far as(in description) "Eric's Notes:Please be careful with this tank, it is made of glass and can shatter and break if dropped." it should be noted that it is Pyrex not normal glass. I've dropped mine dozens of times on concrete and not a scratch. Though it did break rolling off my car seat in my Jeep onto the metal floorboard and did shatter, the replacement glass is inexpensive. I'm surprised at the few negative ratings, perhaps they got the random duds.

Bought a second for a number of reasons: found a good deal here, less wear and tear on one unit, I have multiple flavors going at once, etc. Love this tank. Keep the coils good and it's excellent!

Happy with the Pro tank II. Works great for my specific use!! Love it. Tastes clean and works great. Reliable. Great price and you can get replacement parts!!! JUST wish you guys would get a shipment in so I can order a second one!! Been out of stock for a while now!!!

I love it. I've had it for two months and had no problems. I am a klutz and have dropped it many times with no problems. It's all I use now.
Posted by Dylan Shackelton on 11th Jan 2015
Mine came with 1.8 ohm coils not 2.5 like the web site says. You get a really good amount of vape out of it, but it has a really tight draw. It also uses a lot of juice. I fill this way more often then I do my aspire tanks.
After a month of use, it's pretty much fallen apart... The center tube that is supposed thread into bottom came loose at the top, and falls out. If I stick it back in, when I go to tighten the tank together it just spins at the top and wont tighten. And as you can imagine that causes it to leak like crazy. So if you're thinking about buying this, I'd recommend you buy an Aspire Nautilus Mini instead.

I was really excited to purchase this tank. When I got it in the mail and started using it, it was the best tank I've ever had. By the next day, the tank was gurgling and the vapor tasted weird, so I replaced the head and cleaned out the tank. The problem has persisted since I got it last week and now its leaking constantly and often won't give me a draw at all. When it does draw, the vape tastes weird. No amount of cleaning of putting new heads in has solved the problem. I would give it one star if it weren't for the first day of use, which was fantastic. Extremely disappointing.

Posted by Brent on 27th Feb 2014
Not sure why my previous review never got posted so I am trying again. This tank is terrible. No, wait...The tank is great. The base is awful! I don't know what's with all these reviews giving this tank 5 stars but I bought 3 different bases for this tank and they all smoke like I'm puffing on a bic pen. Barely any airflow! The best base I have used is the one from the kanger protank mini. It vapes like a champ with that base! The base it comes with has only 2 airflow channels jammed way down at the base of the connector. How do they expect to get air in such a tight area? Then I bought the "new improved" base that has 3 holes but the holes are half the size of the 2 small ones on the original base. Kanger needs to get it together with these tanks.
Posted by Wulf on 27th Feb 2014
Great tank for flavor and vapor. Only problem I have with these tanks is the fact the atomizer might last a day or a week, sometimes don't even get a day out of them. Still waiting for the ultimate tank. Maybe someone will make one someday, but for now Kanger is the best tank on the market.

Even with shipping cost you all were about 20% cheaper than anyone else. Won't be buying from anyone but you....

Doesn't leak and is also the less messy tank I've had to deal with (messy as in oil leaking all over the threading where you unscrew it to fill it up)
Posted by Kyle on 22nd Feb 2014
well, I've been vaping for about three months and only on plastic tanks, especially the EVOD, so this was my first glass tank and certainly the most complex in terms of removable parts. i had problems with leaking, but the team at discount vapers went out of their way to help, including sending a replacement piece of glass which I apparently didn't even need. vapes great now that it's not screwed on so tight. really good service, i'll absolutely be back, thanks again guys!

Mercer Island native and The Soup host Joel McHale is on Bill Simmons' podcast today. (Listen on Simmons' page or download.)
The two discuss the evolution of McHale's show (from daily to weekly, from a focus on talk-shows to a focus on reality-shows), McHale's stint as a walk-on with the UW football team, his upcoming movie with Matt Damon, the worst reality shows ever (The Dina Lohan Show, Big Brother, and Britney and Kevin all receive votes), great moments in reality TV (Bobby Brown saying he's dug "doodie bubbles" out of Whitney Houston's butt), and the Sonics' move (McHale blames Schultz and Stern, but says lay off OKC). It's an entertaining listen.
Also, check out this interview of McHale by SW's Suzie Rugh. And an amusing note: If Bill Simmons uses the words Oklahoma City or Thunder on his broadcast, he has his producer bleep them out, out of respect for the city of Seattle. Thanks to Dan for the tip.

As part of the Senior Retreat, we are asking each parent to write a love letter to your son or daughter, to be read at some point during the retreat weekend. The letter is confidential. NO ONE BUT YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER WILL READ THE LETTER!
The letter is nothing more than an expression of your sentiments, i.e. the love you have for your child.
Our experience has shown us that students tend to get upset while reading letters that relate new, never-before-revealed information. This tends to detract from the student's retreat experience.
Other family members, grandparents, and siblings may also write letters.
Although there is a strong likelihood that your son or daughter already knows about the letters, PLEASE KEEP CONFIDENTIAL the fact that you are writing them.
Please send or deliver your letters by September 11, 2015 to Kristie Wainwright, firstname.lastname@example.com at Bishop Lynch High School.

Since the NuVal food-scoring system was introduced at all Hy-Vee stores in January 2009, my family – both consciously and subconsciously – has changed the way it buys and eats.
There are times when we've discussed whether to buy this yogurt or that yogurt, and the decision was based on nothing more than the higher NuVal score. (Sometimes, we look at the nutrition panel to try to figure out why a certain score was higher. Sometimes, we succeed.) And I'm certain there have been times when, without thinking about it, we've grabbed one food item instead of the lower-scoring version right next to it.
The funny thing is that until I began researching this article, we took it on faith that NuVal scores meaningfully and accurately reflected the nutritional content of the food we were buying.
Conceptually, the system is intuitively understood. It's a number from 1 to 100 (on top of NuVal's joined-hexagon logo) on the shelf tags of a vast majority of edible items in Hy-Vee. The higher the score, the better the food is nutritionally. Fresh blueberries get a 100, and nearly all fresh fruits and vegetables score in the 90s. Scores for hot dogs generally range from 6 to 16, while sugared sodas get a 1.
Of course, you already know that fresh fruits and vegetables are good for you, and hot dogs and sugared sodas aren't. Where NuVal is most instructive – and fascinating – is within a given food group. In its simplest form, NuVal is about deciding between two or three or 10 products jostling for your attention on the same supermarket shelf. As Dr. David L. Katz – the chief architect of NuVal and director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center – said in an interview last month: "Any aisle of the supermarket where you were already going to buy something, go ahead, but try to buy the most nutritious version that satisfies your wallet and your palate."

When Jodee O'Tool's son entered kindergarten in the Bettendorf Community School District in 2008, she was troubled by the meals the school offered.
"I started looking at the menu," she said. "I am in the field of nutrition, so that's something that's important to me.
"It's mostly processed food," she said. "Not much fresh food. ... A lot of it is hot dogs. ... A lot of chicken nuggets. Fried food ... ."
The Bettendorf elementary menu for May is a good illustration. The 20 lunches include three meals anchored by chicken nuggets, one with popcorn chicken, and one with a breaded chicken patty. One entrée is a hot dog; another is breaded mozzarella sticks.
On the fresh side are days with orange wedges, bananas, apple slices, watermelon wedges, grapes, celery sticks, "carroteenies," and freshly made salads.
While these meals meet federal nutrition standards, O'Tool said they're not particularly good for students overall. And she's trying to change the way the Bettendorf Community School District feeds its children.

Driving home life lessons with golf
March 4, 2011
By Mr. Kevin Stabinsky (IMCOM)
Story Highlights
- Fort McPherson
- First Tee
- Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR)
- confidence, courtesy, good sportsmanship
The school week might have been over, but Feb. 26, from 9:30 until 11 a.m., First Tee of Atlanta (First Tee) turned the golfing greens on The Commons at Fort McPherson into a classroom for 29 children seeking to learn more about the sport.
In partnership with the U.S. Army Garrison Directorate of Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation (DFMWR), First Tee held the first session of their five-week program that uses golf as a vehicle to teach children skills, such as confidence, courtesy, good sportsmanship and other positive character qualities they can apply throughout their lives, said Mary Scott, First Tee coach.
One reason golf is a good means to teach these lessons is because it's is a gentleman's sport, Scott said, explaining the game requires learning how to respect others by sharing the course and a great deal of self-discipline.
Tondia Reese, program analyst for the Environmental Protection Agency, said she was glad to see her two children, Jason, 8, and Summer, 5, socializing with the other children in the program. "It was definitely time well spent," she said, adding besides the socialization, the session exposed her kids to a new sporting experience.
"I try to introduce them to different activities to see if they have an interest," said Reese, who said she found out about the program through a DFMWR e-mail message. Jason, who said he already plays baseball, soccer and jiujitsu, said he enjoyed his first exposure to golf. "It's good," he said.
"They teach us good things like how to hold the club and hit the ball." While life skills are the focus of the course, the children will also be exposed to plenty of golf, Scott said. Skills taught will include proper grip, putting and driving skills, and course etiquette. The children will put all those skills together during the final class by actually playing a few holes on the Fort McPherson golf course, she said.
Because lessons build upon one another, it is important for children not to miss lessons, Scott said. Although exceptions will be made for children who missed the first week, children who miss the first two lessons should wait until the next session is offered, she added.
Chris Hawkins, First Tee head coach, said classes will be offered until the base closes, with about a two-week break between classes. Thus, the next class will start in mid-March or early April, Hawkins said. "Hopefully, they'll acquire some learning, develop a desire to play golf, and most importantly, have fun," Hawkins said of the children.

Tkay think of the end game. It is to create a one world system. The system is making you do this process with your own money. They are even making money on the learning materials.

American Classics: a Guide to Ducks and Geese
Here's a look at the breeds of ducks and geese which are best for small farmsteads.
March/April 1989
By the MOTHER EARTH NEWS editors
Ducks and geese suitable for use as livestock come in so many varieties there isn't space here to show all of them. Pictured from L to R are the Pekin duck, Sebastopol goose, and Rouen duck.
So you're thinking about raising ducks, or raising geese, or ducks and geese? Good for you! You're doing your part to revive a tradition that was fairly common at the turn of the 20th century but has since waned. Our grandparents and great-grandparents would have known a lot about the practice, notably what duck breeds and goose breeds were tolerant of cold weather or matured quickly or produced an abundance of eggs. To help you along, we've compiled an
Illustrated Guide to Ducks and Geese
with all of that baseline information.

Nomura, Top Japan Brokerages to Boost Graduate Hires by 13%
Nomura Holdings Inc., Japan's largest brokerage, and its biggest domestic rivals plan to boost hiring of college graduates by about 13 percent next year in anticipation of a global market recovery.
The firms aim to take on a total of 1,580 college recruits for the year starting April 1, 2013, with Nomura hiring more than 600, Daiwa Securities Group Inc. 500, SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. 300 and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co. 180, according to spokesmen at the brokerages. The four companies have 1,402 graduates starting work today.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average has returned to levels seen before a record earthquake and tsunami triggered a nuclear disaster in March last year, surpassing 10,000 last month. The country's gross domestic product may have expanded an annualized 1.7 percent last quarter after a 0.7 percent contraction in the final three months of last year, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of analysts.
"Last year was a severe one for the Japanese economy and brokerages working against the earthquake, the crisis in Europe, floods in Thailand and a strong yen," Fumio Yoshimatsu, a senior executive officer at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley responsible for hiring at the company, said in an interview. "This year, circumstances are allowing us to hire graduates as we expect a V-shape recovery in Japan helped by a steady U.S. economy, stabilization in Europe and a stock market recovery."
Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley plans an almost four-fold increase in graduate hiring next year, and it will mainly allocate recruits to its retail business, Yoshimatsu said. The firm hired 47 graduates for the year started April 1, spokesman Hiroaki Konishi said.
Foreign Freeze
Nomura Securities Co., the brokerage unit of Nomura in Japan, hired 615 graduates for fiscal 2012, spokeswoman Keiko Sugai said. Daiwa hired 354 for the period, according to spokeswoman Misato Kinoshita and SMBC Nikko spokesman Tadataka Ishida said his firm's recruitment will decline from 386.
"It's remarkable to see Japanese brokerages boosting hiring on demand for stocks and cross-border acquisitions, while foreign banks are still in a hiring freeze," said Katsunobu Komizo, chief executive officer at Executive Search Partners Co., the country's biggest recruitment company focusing on investment banks. "Overseas banks are conservative and they see the recovery and business demands as one-time phenomena."
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp. and Deutsche Bank AG are among overseas financial firms that have cut about 2,000 jobs in Japan since June 2010. About 200 overseas banks, hedge funds and buyout firms reduced their Japan staff to 22,000 as of Dec. 31 from 24,000, according to Executive Search.
Elite Recruits
Nomura in anticipation of increasing demand for cross-border deals plans to post as many as 15 top recruits to its mergers and acquisitions team this month, two people familiar with the plan said in March.
The college graduates are among 50 hired through a two-year-old elite recruiting program promising triple Nomura's normal starting salary in an effort to raise the firm's global investment banking and trading competitiveness, the people said on the condition of anonymity, citing confidentiality. The M&A team has 140 members in Japan.
Nomura hired 604 graduates last year, 40 of them under the new program, and allocated about five to its M&A team.

The Medical Examiner is trying to identify human remains found in an Eastern Carolina city.
The Goldsboro Police Department says a body was discovered in an abandoned house at 201-C Feldon Trail in Goldsboro on July 4. The house is behind Affordable Storage off N. William St.
So far, the Medical Examiner has determined the man was at least 50 years old and between 5'8" and 5'10" tall. Police also say there were indications the man's left ankle and left arm were injured.
The Medical Examiner believes the body was in the house for two or three weeks before it was discovered. The victim was wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and an unhemmed pair of jeans.
Anyone with information on the possible identity of the man is asked to contact Investigator Dwayne Bevell at (919) 580-4218.

- Sold Date: Nov 05, 2006
- Channel: Auction House
Presented for sale is an exquisite carved ivory easel back picture frame. This frame was made in China between 1850 - 1900 for export to the western market. The front of the frame is beautifully carved with a floral motif. The carving is very fine and quite deeply done.
The easel back consists of a carved piece of ivory attached with a metal hinge. The picture is held in place with four metal tabs which swivel on metal posts. T is a round finial with a sterling silver ring at the top of the frame so that the frame may also be hung on a wall.
The frame is in excellent condition. Everything seems to be entirely original. The metal tabs on the back are tight and secure. The hinge mechanism that attaches the easel to the frame works well. T is some natural shrinkage of the ivory on either side of the interior oval which has resulted in some minor cracking. T are also some very minor chips on the front of the frame consistent with age and light use. However, these are hardly noticeable and do not detract in any way from the exceptional appearance of this piece. Otherwise, t are no problems of any kind.
The frame is 3 7/8 inches tall and 3 3/8 wide.

When it is cloudy and rainy and you have no energy? I'm huge on outdoor play, I'm terribly non-crafty, and I really struggle to stay motivated to do things with my kiddos on days like today. We've done next to nothing. :) Although right now we are drinking homemade hot chocolate in an attempt to stave off boredom (and in my case, sleepiness. I think I am about to cave and make a cup of coffee).
How do you stay motivated?
Comments (8)
How about trying some indoor active play? Do you have a big enough room or room with less breakable things? DH & BIL used to play "soft" ball indoors on rainy days - foam bat with blow up ball & make shift bases...this is when they were about 7 & 4, respectively, until they were, I think 13 & 10.
If your LOs are younger, how about a homemade music & dance class? Head-shoulders-knees&toes; hokey-pokey; wheels on the bus...or get some Glad/ziplock containers w/ lids & fill them with rice, beans, pasta to shake out the beat of songs? Or build a fort from pillows? Or use the dining room table & make a secret room...once it's built or sectioned off by sheets, kids seem to play inside it for quite some time. Or, even if you're not craft-y, how giving your kids some paper & crayons, then telling them parts of a story & asking them to draw what they think it looks like?
Hope that helps!
Happy wife to my Superman since 6/10, happy mama to my Gladiator DS 2/11
We're also very outdoorsy so rainy days are tough. My ODS likes crafts and art but my LO doesn't seem to really be into it :(. Plus ODS is at an age where he entertains himself pretty well.
We play music and dance. Music always boosts my mood and seems to be a good "pick me up" for me. Both my kids love to be read to so we'll read books. We have a couple of large floor jigsaw puzzles so sometimes we pull those out. If worse comes to worse, I get them involved in helping me with chores or cooking or baking something.
And hey, sometimes rainy days are good for popping in a movie and curling up on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn :)
I wish I would do MORE out doors. It is finally beautiful in GA, But we have only been to the park once in 2 weeks. (The park is right across the street.) I am thinking about making a playdate at the park. That would at least get me there.
What about throwing a huge blanket over the dining room table and letting them play inside it? Or somone on here suggested turning a pack n play on its side to make it into a cave. I did that for Drew one day he loved it. What about playin simon says?
Are your rainy days cold? If temp wise it's not bad and it's not down pour we go outside, even if it's for a bit. I have to for my sanity! REI has waterproof rain pants for kids and I've even seen whole suits for muddy, wet outdoor play.

I think it's perfectly understandable to have no motivation on days like that! Sometimes it's good for everyone to just have a relaxing day with a movie or board game.

The library or museums are great places to go on a rainy day. Also a play-date at someone else's house. Other people's toys are always fun.

We live in the pacific northwest, so it is pretty cold when it is rainy, and it is rainy for the majority of October through June. It is typically in the 40s or so and lighter rain. But the kids get chilled when they get wet, so I think the rain pants would be a great idea. DD doesn't like to get out in the rain and get wet. DS isn't old enough to realize why he doesn't like to be outside, he just gets cranky when he is cold. :)
I agree, it is no biggie to have some down days. Its just the weather is like this the majority of the year so I can't use that excuse most of the time!
The biggest thing is really sleep. We don't get enough of it, and everyone gets thrown off this time of year when it starts to get dark early. They get thrown off at the beginning of summer too when it gets dark really late.
I'm gonna get some rain pants and get out and exercise with the kiddos!

Three Hits: N.C. State squanders big lead, falls to SLU in OT
It was a gut-wrenching night for North Carolina State, which fell to Saint Louis in overtime, 83-80 -- in what might have been T.J. Warren's last game as a college star.
Here are three things we gleaned from No. 5 Saint Louis's overtime victory over 12th-seeded North Carolina State on Thursday -- a surreal classic that was equal parts exhilarating and frustrating ... for both cheering sections:
1. It was a tale of two (second) halves for an N.C. State club that had been enigmatic all season
With 8:13 left in the second half, sophomore star T.J. Warren (28 points on 11-of-22 shooting) converted a seemingly innocuous layup for N.C. State, boosting the club's lead to 16 points (55-39).
At the time, no one could have guessed that bucket would indirectly trigger a dispiriting downfall for the Wolfpack, the result of sloppy ball-handling and porous free-throw shooting (20 of 37 for the night).
Not that Saint Louis fared any better from the charity stripe, hitting only 12 of 26 free throws -- making the Billikens' comeback victory (or the Wolfpack's come-from-ahead defeat) all the more vexing:
To wit, even when Saint Louis trimmed its deficit to two or three points in the final two minutes, the club kept pressing and fouling (ignoring the 35-second shot clock), as if the Billikens were completely unaware of the altered circumstances on the scoreboard.
Who does that? It was an odd sight to see Saint Louis so oblivious to the situation.
And yet, N.C. State still couldn't close the deal, committing one turnover and sinking only 3 of 7 free throws in the final 78 seconds of regulation.
In overtime, the Wolfpack could muster only three field goals against a fatigued Billikens defense that completely sold out on the premise of not allowing Warren to touch the ball in half-court sets (courtesy of SLU guard Jordair Jett -- 18 points, five rebounds).
A brilliant move, in hindsight.
Which brings us to this ...
2. If only T.J. Warren hadn't fouled out prior to the Wolfpack's final two possessions
With Saint Louis leading by one and inbounding the ball from its own backcourt (from the side), North Carolina State had plenty of time (:29 seconds on the clock) to attempt a steal and then foul the Billikens (Plan B).
By extension, Wolfpack head coach Mark Gottfried really had nothing to lose by inserting a defensive replacement for Warren during that foul-or-steal sequence, allowing the team's best player to rest up and avoid getting a fifth foul.
Instead, Gottfried left Warren in the game; and when the Billikens' Rob Loe (22 points, 15 rebounds) caught a simple horizontal inbounds, Warren immediately fouled him -- possibly unaware of his own fouls tally.
Can you imagine the Raleigh-based media querying Gottfried after the game? When trailing by one ... the last thing any Wolfpack fan wanted to see was Warren commit a foul that anyone on the N.C. State bench could have executed, without consequence.
Fast forward two seconds of game action: After Saint Louis converted just one of two free throws, N.C. State -- now down two -- had a golden chance to force overtime or perhaps go for the win with 27 seconds left.
With no timeout called and with Warren watching from the bench, the Wolfpack set out for the game-tying score. At first, guard Tyler Lewis (eight points, seven turnovers) tried to get the ball from Desmond Lee, but SLU's pressure defense along the perimeter was too tight.
So, after a few zig-zag dribbles, Lee then made a beeline to the basket, only to miss on his off-balance jumper from the right side. After the Billikens added another free throw, Ralston Turner's long three-pointer fell short, ending the Wolfpack's season on a sour note.
Reading the tea leaves for N.C. State, this was most likely Warren's final game in red and white, as he's slated to be a Round 1 pick in the upcoming draft (NBADraft.net slots him at No. 16 overall).
Warren would certainly go out on a personal high note, though, scoring 20-plus points in his final 21 collegiate outings -- including back-to-back 40-plus games against Pittsburgh (March 3) and Boston College (March 9).
3. Louisville might have caught a break in avoiding N.C. State on Saturday
Saint Louis (27-6 overall) plays a little faster in the Jim Crews era than it did a few years ago, under the defensive-minded, possession-squeezing Rick Majerus (who passed away a few months ago).
But the Billikens still aren't a run-and-gun club, like Louisville, meaning it would have to immediately control the tempo to foster any chance of pulling the upset.
It's an interesting contrast between Louisville and Saint Louis:
The Cardinals garnered plenty of national attention for being "under-seeded" at No. 4, the result of claiming their first five March victories by a staggering average of 29.6 points.
The Billikens, in turn, were panned as perhaps the worst No. 5 seed of any region, partly due to a pair of bad losses to Duquesne and St. Bonaventure in recent weeks.
And yet, in the eyes of the NCAA tournament committee, the schools have razor-thin differences.
As for N.C. State, which was just seconds away from reaching the Round of 32 in four straight NCAA berths as a double-digit seed (2005, 2006, 2012), the Wolfpack can only look forward to playing the Cardinals next year ... as ACC brothers-in-arms.

Exploitation of Wild Plants by the Early Neolithic Hunter-Gatherers of the Western Desert, Egypt: Nabta Playa as a Case-Study
Wasylikowa, Krystyna, Mitka, Jozef, Wendorf, Fred, Schild, Romuald, Antiquity
The role of plants in the subsistence economy of pre-agricultural societies of the eastern Sahara is poorly known because vegetal remains, except for wood charcoal, are seldom found in archaeological sites. Site E-75-6 at Nabta Playa, with rich assemblages of charred seeds and fruits, is exceptional. Around 8000 b.p. the inhabitants of this site collected a wide spectrum of wild food plants. Wild sorghum was of special interest and its occasional cultivation cannot be excluded.
Many of the species identified at Nabta Playa belong to edible plants which have been gathered for food across northern Africa until recent times. Their utilization by people living at that site seems highly probable, even if no direct evidence was found in the form of one-species accumulations. The occurrence of plant remains, in several huts and pits of almost the same age of around 8000 b.p., created the opportunity to examine their in-site distribution, and to discover how plants were exploited. A multivariate method of correspondence analysis was used, with the results that are the subject of this article.
The site
Nabta Playa is a large internal drainage basin, in the driest part of the Egyptian Western Desert. During wet episodes of the early Holocene the basin was inhabited several times by early Neolithic nomadic populations (Wendorf & Schild 1980). At site E-75-6 three archaeological levels were discovered; the plant material discussed here comes from the middle level (Wasylikowa et al. 1995).
Settlement traces include remnants of huts, pits and wells, distributed along the former lake shore in a belt about 70 m long and 20 m broad [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. In the huts, there were one to five hearths and several small and shallow pits interpreted as pot-holes, i.e. places where containers with food were placed for cooking in hot ashes. Eleven AMS dates, based on individual seeds from different huts, gave ages between 8025[+ or -]120 (Oxa-3220) and 7950[+ or -]90 (Oxa-3484) b.p. (Wasylikowa et al. 1993; Wendorf et al. 1992).
At earlier stages of the early Neolithic, the site was inundated by summer rains; it was probably inhabited in the fall and winter. Later, habitation could have lasted the whole year, as it is indicated by walk-in wells connected with the middle level (Wendorf et al. in press). Food procurement was based on hunting (mainly of gazelle and hare), cattle-keeping, and wild-plant gathering. Occasional cultivation of wild sorghum was possible, although this cannot be proven.
Plant remains
Seeds and fruits were recovered by dry-sieving soil samples of known volume. All were preserved in a charred condition. For each sample the exact location on the excavation grid [TABULAR DATA FOR TABLE 1 OMITTED] was recorded as well as the context: hearth, pot-hole, post-hole, house fill (lower level), house fill top (upper level). For each identified taxon or morphological type, the number of specimens was recorded for each sample.
The accumulation of plant remains resulted from human activity with various purposes: wood for fuel; seeds, fruits, tubers and rhizomes for food; other uses - medicinal and magic? Charring could have taken place only near the hearths, or possibly near pot-holes; there is no evidence that any of the houses were burned. Charred material was scattered all over the surface of the house floor when the house was occupied; in addition, there may have been secondary mixing after the houses were abandoned. The abandoned site was covered by sands and silts which preserved the charred plant remains. The generally uniform appearance of all charred remains, indicating similar conditions of preservation throughout the site, suggests the composition of the archaeobotanical samples not having been changed selectively by post-depositional processes.
Seeds, fruits, tubers and rhizomes found in the huts probably represent residues of cooking and wastes of plant-processing for food or other purposes. …
