80-minute man: Nathan Peats is thriving at Parramatta. Photo: Getty Images
Their former club may be struggling but Nathan Peats hopes a bit of old South Sydney magic will help his combination with Chris Sandow.
Much has changed for the pair since their first appearance together in 2011. Back then, Sandow was the dominant half while Nathan Peats was in his debut season.
At Parramatta, Peats has been an automatic selection at hooker, while Sandow was forced to reclaim his spot in the top squad via the NSW Cup this year.

"That 2011 season ... that was his best season before he came over here," Peats said. "I know what he is capable of. If he can get back to that form it'll be good for us.
"Hopefully he can."
Sandow was strong in his comeback to the top grade in the Eels 32-16 victory over Penrith. While the pair played 20 games together at South Sydney, Peats started all his games from the bench and played regularly at lock.

"He is still the same Chrissy," Peats said. "He loves a joke and a good time. He is a confidence player and the more confidence he gets the better he'll be for us.
"[Saturday] was the first time we played nine and seven alongside each other. Hopefully we can get a few more games together and our combinations get better and better. You like to play with someone you've played with before and you know what they've got and what you have to offer each other."
Peats has settled into the full-time hooking role, playing his third consecutive 80-minute game last Saturday. He went the distance just once last year – playing lock.
"It's what I want to do," Peats said. "The body pulls up sore but that's what our jobs are at hooker. I love playing 80 minutes and in the middle of the field with all the rough stuff.
"That's one of the main reasons I came here. In 2011 and 2012 I was playing a lot of minutes and full games.
"Last year was a bit frantic, some weeks I'd get 30 or 40 minutes and then I'd get 10 minutes. I would be a little bit frantic coming on like a headless chook. You've got to be more composed [when you play 80 minutes].
"I've played a fair few games and I know – not so much to pace yourself – but you've got to know what you have to do."
After a 52-point round two drubbing to the Roosters, Parramatta bounced back with a heartbreaking loss to Manly before beating the high-flying Panthers.
Peats said coach Brad Arthur had reserved his praise.
"He gives you praise when you deserve it but like the rest of us you don't want to give praise and blow our heads up too big," Peats said.

If you want to design, maintain, and troubleshoot networks, an MCSE plus CCNA will be somewhat helpful, but adding a CCDA and one or more of the professional level Cisco certs (CCNP, CCDP, CCSP, or CCIP--more or less in that order, unless you want to work at an ISP, in which case put CCIP after CCNP or CCDP, depending on your design interests). If you want to design and build networking hardware (which I suspect you don't, but that's indeed a valid interpretation of the job "network engineer," you'd probably be better served by getting into a graduate level engineering program and using that to pursue those interests).

Any thoughts on quality/price?
The Craigslist posting was deleted by its owner. What did the Burley look like?
Burley stopped production of their recumbents to concentrate on their core products, which they believe are their trailers. The rights to the recumbent designs have been sold and the new owners are currently re-introducing some of the models. You can probably get more info from the BicycleMan in Alfred NY, but here is their page on Burley, which should help identify whatever you saw.
The company that bought the Burley designs and tooling is Razor's Edge Recumbents. They are in Tennessee, and are working to make the bikes entirely domestically, mostly in Tennessee. Here is a link to the LWB design they are currently producing:

Girl Scouts Heart of the South Council has launched a council-specific mobile
app, the first of its kind among national Girl Scout councils. The app boasts
information such as calendar events, local council news, Safety Activity
Checkpoints, and blog posts, as well as a link to the council's mobile site.
app includes customizable settings that allow the user to tailor the available
information specific to Girl Scouts, families, and volunteers. Users can also
personalize the calendar by starring individual events they find interesting.
These types of features make it simple for anyone who is involved with or
interested in the Heart of the South council to stay up-to-date.
Jenny Jones, Director of Marketing and Communications for
the Girl Scouts Heart of the South, said they are very excited to bring the
council into the mobile age.
"The app is very intuitive and chock-full of useful
information for the girls and for anyone who wants to learn about our council,"
Jones said. "We are thrilled to open up a new and more convenient communication
channel to get the word out about all the good things going on locally with
Girls Scouts."
Although the app is designed around the Heart of the
South council in particular, many of its features, such as the Safety Activity
Checkpoints lists, can be useful at a national level as well. The app release
comes as the National Girl Scouts are gearing up to celebrate their 100 year
anniversary on March 12, 2012. The council looks forward to the app being
instrumental in garnering support and excitement for the many events they have
planned to commemorate this milestone.
Girl Scouts Heart of the South app is free and is currently live on the Apple
mobile market. An Android version is expected to go live later this month. To

Nobody at the Vancouver Organizing Committee is to blame for the weather that has beset Cypress "Mountain," the disastrous freestyle ski and snowboard venue that's quickly becoming the Official Black Eye of the 2010 Winter Games.
But they certainly are responsible for everything else going wrong up there.
The rest, we began to learn today, included fans stranded at the venue, shortages of food and shelter, and just basic organization for a large-scale event.
"I went to the women's moguls event at Cypress and I can say from start to finish it
was the worst -organized event i've ever attended, including college
keggers," a reader from Kirkland e-mailed today.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport
Most Read Stories
The reader said VANOC sold out bus tickets to the mountain, and failed to match bus tickets to event tickets, while at the same time preventing people from driving up on their own.
At the mountain, fans found a half-mile walk to the actual venue, and faced concession lines of 90 minutes or more.
"We paid face value for the tickets and left after the prelims, skipping the finals altogether," this fan said. "So did many many others who paid upwards of $350 per ticket. People were absolutely livid!"
And this doesn't even include the thousands of fans whose "standing-room" tickets to Monday's snowboard cross were summarily canceled because of unsuitable conditions at the course.
For that, we quote the Vancouver Sun, which reports:
This is the latest round of weather-related problems for Cypress. Snow hauled up the mountain by truck and helicopter was used to build up the runs where the athletes compete, as well as to cover bails of straw to bolster the area where general-admission spectators stand to watch the events. But heavy rain on the weekend washed the snow away, leaving sink holes around the straw that officials deemed unsafe.
VANOC's response? Sorry. But CEO John Furlong went so far as to say the organization doesn't regret choosing Cypress as a venue.
Really? Any sane person would.
VANOC had plenty of warnings about the potential for warm-weather problems at Cypress, which sits at about the same soggy altitude as Snoqualmie Pass, but lies much closer to a marine climate. Two years ago, World Cup test events there were canceled by rain and fog. Same thing last year.
How many warning signs does one organization get?
It's an embarrassment for Vancouver. And for the Games themselves.
Because lest there be any doubt, Cypress's top-shelf food service "does meet Olympic Games standards," The Sun quotes VANOC officials as saying.
Little doubt there. But here's guessing it doesn't meet Olympic Family standards.
VANOC also noted that it had placed the maximum number of food and drink facilities it could jam into the "relatively small venue."
Far as we know, the venue did not get smaller after VANOC made the mistake of picking it in the first place.
You can't blame that on the weather. Shrinkage doesn't apply to ski resorts.

Green Salons That Aim To Match the Real Thing
A good facial, new highlights and a professional manicure can leave you looking and feeling great. But the harsh and even toxic chemicals found in many salon products can make the experience smelly and unpleasant. And the impact they might have on your body, the environment and the health of the staff is another cause for concern.
Now, more salons are using products that eschew some controversial ingredients, including toluene in nail products, ammonia and p-Phenylenediamine in hair colorants, and chemical fragrances and parabens, a class of preservatives, in a variety of substances.
We decided to check out salons and day spas that claim to use more earth-friendly products and practices. The services often don't cost more than their conventional counterparts, and the results can last as long. And if you have to sit in a salon waiting for your nails to dry, it's more pleasant if the place smells like herbs instead of chemicals. Another bonus: Eco-oriented beauty salons often focus on overall well-being and sometimes throw in a hand, foot or temple massage along with your facial or highlights.
Finding a spa or salon that's as earth friendly as it says it is can be tricky. Standards like the U.S. Department of Agriculture's organic seal are only beginning to emerge for the health-and-beauty industry. You often have to do your own homework to make sure a salon's products are as "natural" as it claims. It helps to find salons and brands that you trust and hope that if they are falling short of their claims of being safer and greener, you'll be able to find out about it online.
Some people also want their salons to recycle, use sustainable flooring and eco-friendly paints in their shops, use alternative power sources and water reclamation systems, or just use less water and power. These kinds of tweaks aren't always obvious. Some places point out these practices. But if you really want to know about a spa's green cred, it's best to ask about the responsible practices you care about.
We tried the services at five different salons and spas around the country. Overall, we were happy with the quality of the services and the products. Some places did a better job than others at being all-around green.
Wink, in Brooklyn, N.Y., bills itself as an "Eco Beauty Bar" and at $40 its manicure/pedicure is in line with other nearby mid-priced nail salons. Salon Echo in Chicago charged $60 for its "organic" mani-pedi, 50% more than most walk-in nail places around the city.
At both places we were surprised that our nails didn't smell different than conventional polish. Wink smelled of nail polish when we walked in, too, which owner Heidi Chambers said afterward that she was working to eliminate.
Wink, used acetone-free polish remover while Salon Echo didn't. Apparently, that isn't so important, according to the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog organization, which in its cosmetics safety database gives acetone and acetone-free polish removers similar safety ratings.
Both Wink and Salon Echo used Zoya nail polish, and Wink also offered Sparitual. Both companies bill their polishes as "vegan." But Ms. Chambers, of Wink, said: "The most important thing is what's been taken out," including toluene and formaldehyde. Both places used copper foot basins, kept the water level low and skipped the usual massage loungers, which Ms. Chambers said use too much electricity.
We were happy with the pampering we got at Salon Echo, especially the organic butter they used to soften cuticles. At Wink, the manicure, which was water-free except for some homemade antiseptic green tea spray, left our hands feeling softer for several days. But the Wink pedicure left our heels rougher than other pedicures we've had. We chose the Zoya nail polish, which felt softer on our nails than other polishes and held up well, even after a week tapping on a keyboard at work.
For hair services we had a single process hair color done at the upscale John Masters in Manhattan, N.Y., which also sells its own Organics line of hair products. We had highlights and toning done at Mode Organic Salon in Seattle, which uses Organic Color Systems and Kevin Murphy products. At $150 and $136, respectively, they were in line with mid-to-higher-priced salons in their areas.
Both salons had a more pleasant smell than the typical hair salon. Our John Masters tester, who was pregnant and sensitive to odors, appreciated scents of citrus, vinegar and molasses instead of ammonia. Both shops' services left our hair feeling healthy rather than fried, so we didn't feel the need to douse it with conditioner the way we often have to after using conventional hair dyes.
The highlights looked much more natural than others we've had in the past. The John Masters stylist warned that the color, which he was careful to describe as "low in chemicals," might not fully cover our gray hairs, but it did the trick and looks as natural as other salon color we've had. The salons told us the color should last as long as conventional treatments and they both still look good after several washings.
Mode owner Jeff Carling says the salon uses a sustainable cleaning service and sends its hair clippings to the nonprofit Matter of Trust, which converts hair scraps to material used in cleaning oil spills. John Masters says it offsets the salon's energy usage by making wind-power purchases. Another nice touch is a garden with an earth-friendly ambiance where customers can sit while their hair color takes.
Finally, we went to Natural Look, a salon located in a mall in Queens, N.Y., that offers Aveda-branded products and services. We asked for a "Green Science skin renewing facial" which is supposed to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and smooth and tone skin. The products are plant-based (and because plants replace some fish- and sheep-derived ingredients in other brands they're considered vegan) and the aesthetician used a steam machine and massage techniques instead of relying on synthetic ingredients to help them penetrate the skin.
Our face, which tends to be dry, did look noticeably more moisturized and healthier and our lines were less visible afterward. Up to a week later friends were complimenting us on our skin looking good. The massage techniques made the hour-long process relaxing, something we can't say about all the facials we've had.

| Wink

|Signature manicure- pedicure / $40
|The salon had the same nail-polish smell as conventional places, and we wish they'd done a better job pumicing our rough heels. But we liked the water-free manicure, homemade products and focus on reuse and recycling.
|The skin on our hands felt softer for several days, which isn't typical for us. The nail polish seemed softer than other polishes, but it held up surprisingly well through the workweek.
| Salon Echo
|Organic manicure -pedicure / $60
|Bikes outside the store, repurposed furniture and a bin for recycling inside made us feel the staff was committed to working in a greener way. We liked the pampering we got, but wish our nails didn't smell like nail polish afterward.
|The nail polish on our hands and feet still looked good five days later, minus one chip on a fingernail.

|Single-process hair color / $150*
|We liked smelling fruity, natural aromas while our hair was being done and donning a comfy cotton T-shirt instead of a synthetic smock. Still, the overall feel of the salon was NYC luxury, not earthy crunchy.
|The color covered our gray better than the staff said it would, looks natural and has held up well through several washings.
| Mode Organic Salon
|Highlights / $121* Toning / $15*
|The process took longer than other hair services we had but a free hand massage helped to pass the time. We liked that the staff volunteered information and answered questions about the hair products without overselling them.
|Our hair looked closer to our natural color and felt healthier than after other color treatments, and it's held up well through several shampoos.

Whether you're putting food away in the refrigerator or freezer, you need to take caution to prevent foodborne illnesses. These illnesses are caused by microorganisms such as Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and C. botulinum. Keeping foods chilled at proper temps is the best way to prevent or slow the growth of these bacteria.
Basic Food Storage Tips
1. Keep appliances at the proper temperatures.
2. Make sure you are checking your appliances temps regularly and that they fall in the desired range.
Refrigerator temperature should be at or below 40° F (4° C)
Freezer temperature should be 0° F (-18° C).
3. Check storage directions on labels.
4. Most people think that only dairy or meats need to be kept cold, but don't forget about condiments (i.e. mayo and ketchup) because most of these need to be placed in the fridge after opening. If in doubt that you haven't stored an item properly, it's usually best to throw it out. Don't chance it, you could get really sick!
4. Perishables need to be placed in the fridge or freezer right away. Stick to the "two-hour rule".
5. Foods should not be left out at room temperature for any longer than two hours, or if the air temperature is above 90° F, it's recommended to only have the food out for one hour. This rule applies to all food, even take-out!
6. Don't crowd the refrigerator or freezer. When putting food away, it is important to leave space for air to circulate.
7. Use ready-to-eat foods as soon as possible. Refrigerated ready-to-eat foods (i.e. lunch meats) need to be eaten as soon as possible. This is because the longer they're stored in the fridge, the more likely bacterium that causes food borne illness can grow.
8. Keep an eye on your food, throw out spoiled food. If it looks or smells different and suspicious don't take a chance, go ahead and throw it out.
Food safety is in your hands. Practice these simple rules and help keep yourself safe and minimize your exposure to potential harmful and life-threatening illnesses.

My server running Debian lenny has just had a power cut recently and its come back up with the root partition in read only mode. I tried to remount the filesystem in read write mode with
mount -n -o remount,rw / which then gave the output
mount: block device /dev/hda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only.
But now the root filesystem isn't mounted at all so I can't run anything to mount the partition again or any other command for that matter such as shutdown because /bin/ isn't there.

By Samantha ArroyoSame Sky creates beauty from ashes. In 1994, one million Rwandan people were brutally murdered in roughly 100 days and 250,000 women were raped. Of those who survived, 70 percent contracted HIV/AIDS and were left widowed and alone, having been used as weapons... [More]

At Simple Changes Therapeutic Riding Center, 15 year-old Lia Winnard is in control.
"I'm in charge and I sometimes like to be like that," Winnard said.
The Lorton Ranch helps children with disabilities and their families reach simple goals.
"I had lots of volunteers help me out. Later I progressed into trotting. Recently I learned to canter," Winnard said.
Lia was diagnosed with mild Cerebral Palsy at birth. Doctors gave her a grim prognosis, but at just four years old, she started riding at Simple Changes.
"It makes me happy for the time I'm riding and it just cheers me up," Winnard said.
She can ride independently and is making remarkable progress in school. Winnard is just one of dozens of kids who have made great strides at Simple Changes.
"We've seen kids that couldn't walk before...walkbecause, riding the horse simulates that movement," said Emily Billey, a Simple Changes volunteer.
"We've seen kids who were nonverbal who actually start to speak a little bit with the horses," Billey said.
Riders also gain social skills, and improved sequencing and body control.
Ashleigh Tootle, 6, was diagnosed with autism at three years old. Her mother says that Simple Changes has made huge changes in her daughter's life.
"It just makes me so happy that she has this. She's really excited about this," said Allynne Tootle, Ashleigh's mother.
"You just sometimes wonder about what they'll have, qualities of life and opportunities. This is giving her the opportunity to be a little kid and do something she's passionate about...that's priceless," Tootle said about Ashleigh.

Photo of the Week: A Sustainable Social Enterprise in India
October 11, 2013
After receiving support from TechnoServe, a crafts business in southern India is creating meaningful economic opportunities for disabled people in the community.
In a bright workshop in southern India, Kiran, a 23-year-old with Down syndrome, methodically folds and glues paper to create a packet that his employer, Chetana, will sell to a local buyer. Clinical psychologist Mala Giridhar started Chetana in order to give people like Kiran an opportunity to earn an income, practice a skill and gain a sense of independence.
Mala saw how a routine and social interaction could benefit people with mental disabilities, who are otherwise stigmatized in Indian society. "We wanted to do business and generate revenue so we could create employment opportunities for these people," she says. "But we didn't know how."
Soon after launching Chetana in 2009, Mala entered a TechnoServe business plan competition that aimed to support promising social enterprises. She received training on business fundamentals and was selected as one of five winners to receive seed capital to put her business plan into action.
Today, Chetana employs 20 people in the workshop and an additional 40 women who work from their homes. Mala is amazed by the engagement and growth she has seen in employees like Kiran. "They share the thrill of a new product," she says. "They share the completion of a big order. We go out together and celebrate when we have passed certain milestones. And then, there is no limit to their growth. They become part of something much bigger."
Learn more about Chetana.

BSP Approves Standards for Bank Risk Management
Byline: FIL C. SIONIL
The Monetary Board, the policy making body of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), has approved a set of qualitative and quantitative standards designed to improve the market risk management of banks.
Also approved was the amended guidelines on the computation on the lowering of the capital adequacy requirements under the risk-based framework recommended by the Basel Committee.
According to BSP Governor Rafael Carlos B. Buenaventura, the issuance of the market risk management standards and the capital adequacy are part of the series of prudent measures the monetary authorities want to institute to protect the banks' balance sheet from any possible further erosion.
As approved, banks can assign lower risk weight depending on the issuer and the type of collateral backing-up the securities or debt instruments.
In particular, a zero risk weight will be assigned on securities issued by multilateral development banks (MDBs) such as the Asian Development Bank (ADB) from the previous 20 percent.
"MDBs were assigned a zero percent risk weight since they are normally triple A rate entities," Buenaventura explained.
The new risk weight ruling also include the expanded list of qualified MDBs. …

With the goal of renewing their cash supplies, the group members decided to join the microfinance institution Soro Yiriwaso and are now on their fourth solidarity loan.
Ms. Aminata (the woman sitting at the far right in the photo) is famous for selling clothing (used) of all qualities. She intends to use this loan to purchase 3 bales of secondhand clothing wholesale in Médine. By hawking, her sales are made to a customer base composed mostly of women paying with cash or credit in Sabalibougou.
With this loan, Ms. Aminata plans on making an average monthly profit of 100,000 francs CFA that will be used for reinvesting in her work and ensuring her children's care at home.
Madame Aminata (femme assise à l'extrême droite sur la photo) a une grande réputation dans la vente des habits (Friperies) de toutes qualités. Elle compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter 3 balles de friperies en gros à Médine ; la revente se fait au comptant et à crédits à Sabalibougou et en ambulant à une clientèle composée majoritairement de femmes. Madame Aminata espère réaliser avec ce prêt un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 100 000 FCFA qui sera utilisé, pour être réinvesti dans l'activité et assurer l'entretien de mes enfants du foyer.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Shopping is so cool! Generic manufacturer pics of bikes are even cooler!
Who says shopping, I decided on the bike and the spec already. I'll just order the frame when I'm ready to at work in the future.
bored of the Fisher?
The fisher is actually really beat to hell, plus I want a bike with a slacker geometry.
Surprised Profail doesn't tell you to get a gray saddle.
But yes, very nice bike.
Also, get a gray saddle.
Generic Joke
Nope, going to probably just throw on my trusty old Selle Italia Flite.
Yea, you passed English class....
Whats with the triple Crank? That's different seeing a triple crank on a freeride type bike.
My build's not going to have a triple.
Probably just going to take the drivetrain from the fisher.

I always thought they removed them for clearence? Don't DH bikes have low BB?
Yes, relatively speaking.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 106 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sizzily Pool float This pool float is the most comfortable float I have ever had. The small styrofoam beads make the float form fit your body. It is made with quality material and the mesh underside make it easy to dry out and not hold water. I have a small pool and it is perfect but I wish I had room for the king size one. This is good for 1 person and maybe a couple grandkids crawling up with you. When I want to relax this is my place of comfort. June 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lambo Heavenly We just purchased the single, double and drink caddy. LOVE, these are the best floats ever. Its like lying on a bean bag, it just molds to your body and is the most relaxing feeling ever. I use the single one, my husband uses the double one and we both fall sound asleep! Single size is plenty big for adults, and the double one is great for tall or large men or an adult and child. It can fit 2 adults but might not be real comfortable. Easy to get on, and very well constructed. June 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Golferlady Awesome float This is a great float. Extremely buoyant and fun to relax on in the pool. Our Golden Retriever loves it too!! We actually bought a second one because we loved the first one so much. May 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by TexasMomof2 Worth every penny! This float is like a floating bed. Conforms to your body perfectly. Biggest danger is sleeping too long in the sun! Looking forward to LOTS of use this summer. It's a little bulky getting out of the pool, but worth it for the comfort! April 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ohio Kia floats GREAT PURCHASE! I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a quality float. September 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Debbierun Best Floats ever These floats are awesome and your dog won't want to try and pop them. August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BocaBabs Great floats Very large and accommodates large persons. Also good for 2 small persons. Dries quickly for continuous activity. Handle on top makes it easy to take out of pool with one hand as other holds a drink. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HollywoodDavid Great fun pool toy The Luxe Edition King Kai Float is the most relaxing pool float ever; relaxing on it in the warm water of my pool is like a return to the womb. July 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Efonq Super Floats My guests find these floats the most comfortable. I originally only had two (which they fought over) so I purchased two more for this season. Without a doubt 5 stars !!!!!!!! July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dwright No Complaints We received our float a few weeks ago and really love it. The fabric is very soft and I love the color. It is the most comfortable float I have ever used. It is always cool to the touch and sinks just enough into the pool to keep you cool while in the sun. I got the smaller size and its not heavy at all. So far no complaints. I do wonder why the backside is so see through. I would have preferred a solid back rather than see all the bean bag materials but its not that big of a deal. Actually considering ordering a second one. As far as durability, I haven't had it long enough to comment. July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PattiC Luxe Edition King Kai Float Just purchased my seventh float. I had three and purchased four for my Palm Springs vacation home. They are great and make the pool a great place to relax. July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Notoptimistic very comfortable float I sent the first float back as it was several inches shorter than the stated dimensions on both the width and length. The second float was several inches larger so the sizes vary. I am tall, 6'4" and 230 lbs. and lying on the float I am out of the water so it's accurate on supporting 400 lbs. If your looking to be in the water slightly you'll have to take some beads out but it's a sealed unit. Seems well constructed. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jprice Love this float! This is the most comfortable float hands down. We ordered a second one and they are always in use. We highly recommend them for lazy lounging pool days. July 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by annawtb King Kai float We love this float. Have used it now for several months with 10 & 8 year old boys horse playing and jumping onto it. It hasn't lost a single "white ball". Some reviews state that they find them in their pool, the little ball filling, but we have not had a single one. I think they may have a hole in theirs or something. My boys run and jump onto it from the pool deck, and not a single piece of filling. My husband is 6'1" and it's still a little short, his feet hang off. But he loves this float. It is very sturdy and comfy. We got the striped color, very pretty. Only issue we have is storage. Trying to figure a way to store it, you have to leave it out to dry out completely.

Luxe Edition Kai Float
1 answerBest float for lake, reading?
Additional information about Lakehill could not be loaded.
I am looking for the best float for a fresh water lake (so no chlorine, but fish and lake-weed and other natural ingredients). I want to be able to read a paperback novel (drink is not required) but do not object to getting wet (why, after all, am I in the lake?). I therefore want a little back support so I am not lying flat and a place to lay the book for a second. I want a good float but not necessarily the most expensive. Is the Kai the one?

Answer:Thank you for your interest in the Luxe Edition Kai Float. This float is made with Sunbrella fabric which will hold up to fresh water. It does have a sewn-in pillow provides comfortable head and neck support; however this will not provide full back support. For more back support you may wish to consider the Kai Eternity Chair (69344).

If you're looking for anime similar to AD Police Files, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
In the year 2808, criminals are no longer just wasting space in prison cells. The Cyber Police have turned to using these "patrons" by giving them a choice. Their sentence, or to work with them to catch other criminals and knock some years off their sentence. But getting off easy isn't, as each criminal is fitted with booby trapped collar that operates on a 24 hour cycle, stopped ONLY if they capture their intended targets. As time runs out on each case, someone's head must roll... the target's, or their own!

Cyber City Oedo is about criminals upholding the law in the future, while AD Police Files is about the police doing their jobs; both have good stories and action. AD Police Files gives rise to a few more recommendations as well (Bubblegum Crash, Crisis etc) but, being a bloke, AD Police is the one to go for - forget about 'feelings', we're here for the action.
Vintage cyberpunk never gets too old to hard-core rabid fans :P!
Thought the graphical appeal and the scientific side could have gotten a tad rusty, they still have plot more complex than most modern show, not to mention they at least deserve to be watched as documents.
Either anime will fill your taste buds if you're into hunting down cyber punks with little to nothing to loose in a futuristic setting that seems more complex than that of those anime that are shown today. Both tell a somewhat similar tale, but A.D. Police Files deals more in the action side of things rather than the psychological side. Either way you'll have your fill with either anime.
When freelance reporter Sybel finds out about a potentially hot scoop involving a crashed military plane, she has no idea what she is about to get herself into. The plane, she discovers, was carrying two top-secret prototype robots known as M-66. The problem? The mission of these programmed killers is to assassinate the granddaughter of their creator. Now, Sybel must race against the clock to help save this innocent girl's life, while protecting her own...

There are dangerous robots on the loose. We're talking, fighting, blood, explosions, scary cyborg chicks, existential ponderings (kinda) and classy 80s music. Black Magic and A.D. Police are both punk ass and a lot of fun... not suitable for little sisters though.
Action packed, non stop blood and explosions both anime will keep you on the edge of your seat. Each bringing their own flavor of violence in a futuristic world that will sure to bring hard core Mecha fans to tears.
It is the year 2029, and as many rush to embrace the changes that cybernetic technology bring to mankind, the seedier side of humanity is even quicker to take advantage of it. This series follows Public Peace Section 9, a government organization that plays behind the scenes to stop the worst of these criminals. Join Major Motoko Kusanagi and her team as they take you through an incredibly vivid world filled with plots of such depth and intrigue as is seldom seen.

At there core, AD Police Files and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex share a similar setting. A future where the lines between man and machine begin to blur, a new law enforcement agency is created to handle situations involving cyborgs and androids. In AD Police Files, this force is the AD Police. In GitS: SAC, this force is Section 9. Both series contain their fair share of action. If you enjoyed one of the shows, be sure to try the other.
In a dystopic city of the future, there has been a rash of killings at the hands of prototype robots. These anomalies from the company Locus Solus are making headlines, and have caught the attention of the cyborg Batou and the crew of the Section 9 special forces. Yet beneath the random violence, a sinister plot is unfolding -- a situation so dangerous that it threatens not only Batou, but innocent humans and cyborgs alike. Can the team of Section 9 unravel the mystery of these murders before they suffer the same fate as the victims?

Many years in the future, crime is out of hand. In order keep the city safe, the Tank Police were created. The Tank Police are an elite unit that uses massive tanks to bring criminals to justice, yet many feel they do more damage than they are worth.

[ MLP ] Celestia Humanization by FoxmiWatch
©2013-2016 Foxmi
I most like the hair and her face beautiful
Except for the wings (which are beautiful!) and the horn, she looks like Palutena from the game Kid Icarus: Uprising!
ho-ho-ho holy Celestia! incredible artwork!
oh wow! this is beautiful work!
Very pretty!!!
omg! its all fantastic! The hair, the body, the skin, the shading of her lipstick! Just plain majestic!
very beautiful
Finally, after a LONG TIME!
I found this picture!!
It always strikes me how beautiful she looks in this picture :3
I found this picture!!
It always strikes me how beautiful she looks in this picture :3
you look so beautiful princess Celestia *blushes*
So beautiful :///)
Stunning! Represents her strong, confident character so well.
oh my make a princess luna and princess cadence
Beautiful and very well done!
So pretty! ^^
Her whole face looks glowy~It's perfect.
Only criticism I have...maybe adjust the angle of the horn so that it seems like it's perpendicular to the surface of the skull rather than simply going forward. Also the shading kinda tells me it's jutting out over her left eye. But other than that it's wonderful! And maybe it's just me. If not, I think it could be fixed in photoshop because the rest of the image...I have no issues, and it'd take me weeks to rig, light, and render this.
She's beautiful! <3
you are really good n creative at the humanization of ponies
then draw it without the horn, ITS AMAZING
She's cute) But the horn is not needed, without it she would be better
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Looks Incredible! ^^
This is one of the best celestia humanizations I've seen yet >v<! And that hair!
Pretty, Lovely, Cute, Sexy and Beautiful. <3
Good Work, Foxmi
Good Work, Foxmi
she looks very pretty

Sexy and regal at the same time. Excellent.
Magnificent! I love the way you did her! The outfit is perfect and the wing size I love!
Woooooooooooooooooo! Pretty pic!!

So lovely, your coloring is really awesome, and you are right, it feels like a different style from before!

Get a Fresh Start: DIY Backpacks For Kids

I feel lucky that my kids still have a few weeks of summer left, since they don't return to school until after Labor Day. But I know lots of kids have already hit the books and headed back to the classroom. To make the transition back to school more crafty, how about making your own backpack? I know, it's excessive, but dang, some of these backpacks are super cute.
10 Kids Lunchboxes That Make Packing Less of a Chore
Back to School
I admit it: packing the kids' lunches is not my favorite thing to do — especially after a summer of preparing light meals or warming up leftovers and sitting down to eat all together. But as with many of the more mundane things in life, good design makes a sometimes tedious task more pleasant. These adorable lunch bags make the thought of lunch-packing (almost) fun.

Carrie's List: Baby Items I'm Glad I Bought and Ones I Wish I Hadn't
Faced with the thousands of baby products on the market today, it's easy to lose your bearings, doubt yourself, overbuy or become paralyzed by decision-making. Conflicting online reviews ("a must buy!"; "don't waste your money!") further muddy the waters of your consumer mind. Being exposed to baby goods has been a part of my day-to-day work life for the past seven years, yet I still made some missteps. However, the good news is I've developed a short-list of items I heartily recommend to friends and, now, to you. Below are my hits and misses as well as what I hope is a bit of general wisdom to guide you as you navigate the baby goods marketplace.

I tried ****** them like scones as suggested. They were ok. I think they are heavy and moist because of the brown sugar, applesauce and whole wheat flour. I think next time I make them I will substitute in some white flour. I think raisins and walnuts would help them too. They are ok
very heavy and did not rise. Not sure what I did wrong. they smelled good but the taste was awful.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Amazon.com Inc. plans to open a warehouse and distribution center in southern Indiana for what will be its fifth large facility in the state.
Seattle-based Amazon announced Tuesday it would spend about $150 million on the center in Jeffersonville and that it could have some 1,000 employees there by 2015.
Construction began last month at the site just north of Louisville, Ky., and the center is expected to open this fall.
Amazon's announcement follows a deal it made with Gov. Mitch Daniels in January to begin collecting Indiana's 7 percent sales tax from customers in the state in 2014. Many Indiana retailers objected to the deal, saying it put them at a price disadvantage.
Amazon currently has similar facilities in Indianapolis and the suburban communities of Whitestown and Plainfield.
