I did not like this DVD that much
By Tety
from Calgary, AB, Canada
Comments about Human Footprint DVD-Old:
I did not like this DVD that much. The content was not like what I was expected! Well, the problem with NATGeo DVD's is that when they sell their DVD's they do not really tell you what is inside it! and does not tell you or give you a preview of the DVD. If I knew the content from the beginning (when I wanted to buy it online) I would not buy it since this is not the one that I was expecting and looking for. Thanks

My students couldn't get over how much was wasted making the video. Many of the examples of how much we use could have been computer generated. Alot of fuel, man hours, etc wasted!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good video, but some problems
By Jeff
from Missouri
This is a good resource if you want to look at how much a person uses in their lifetime. How it was presented was interesting, going from birth to death. I like to use this in my classroom to talk about our impact on the environment.I have two complaints. One, the visuals are a bit overly drawn out. They could be shorted a bit and still have an impact. Maybe by zooming our or panning faster.My other complaint is that the packaging has the "CC" label indicating that it is closed captioning. An interpreter in my classroom and I spent five minutes trying to figure out where we could turn on the subtitles, but there was no option to do so. If you are going to advertise closed captioning, then actually put it in. This isn't the first National Geographic video I've seen that has been produced in the last ten years that doesn't included subtitles. Quite disappointing for such valuable educational tools.
Jaw-dropping visuals with a message

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
small home, small home living, homesteading, modern homesteading, homesteader's cabin, how to live in a small space, tips for living in a small space, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
"Fancy homes are lovely, but absolutely not necessary," Victoria Gazeley says—and she walks her talk.
Victoria and her 5-year-old son, Jonah, were living in a 1,300-square-foot townhouse in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2009 when she made a conscious and well-researched decision to move into a 650-square-foot heritage cabin on 7 wooded acres. "It seemed a logical choice for a home as we began our foray back to a rural lifestyle," she says. "Not only did smaller make sense for us—I'm not a great fan of spending hours every week on housework—but it actually turned out to be an almost perfect amount of space."
Built by a Polish homesteader from old-growth fir and hand-hewn cedar in the late 1930s, Victoria's cabin was decrepit—falling down and covered in moss—when she and her father came across it in the late 1990s. After she convinced the owner to sell it to her for $150, she and her parents took it apart, numbered each log and moved it piece by piece to her parents' property a few hundred feet north. "With a lot of ingenuity on the part of my dad, we managed to bring it back to life," Victoria says.
The original homesteader cabin, built in the late 1930s, was falling down and covered in moss when Victoria discovered it.
Before reassembling, Victoria and her family removed rot from the logs with a chainsaw. "Remarkably, there were few of these spots to remove–a testament to the amazing resiliency of our native western red cedar," Victoria writes in her blog, Modern Homesteading. "We had to replace only the very bottom logs that essentially had been sitting on the dirt in the original building–the rest of the logs were almost entirely sound." They rebuilt the cabin on a platform, which allows a crawl space for storage and creates air circulation that keeps the cabin cool in summer—but can be problematic in winter.
The home is heated with a woodstove and fueled by wood—mostly alder and maple blown down by wind—gathered on site. "We can keep ourselves more than warm enough even in the coldest winter, strictly from fuel from our own property," Victoria says. "That's a great feeling." The home's location in a small hollow and its square-hewn logs keep it cool in summer without air conditioning. Doors on either end of the cabin and windows in the loft keep air moving.
While she and her family were restoring the cabin's structure, Victoria got smart about homesteading. She spent nearly a decade participating in hands-on gardening and self-sufficiency workshops, interviewing experts and reading books late into the night. Her goal: "a tiny haven of style and self-sufficiency." She's well on her way.
With help from family and friends, Victoria has built a greenhouse, temporary cold storage for harvested fruits and vegetables, and a raised-bed vegetable garden. She's planted a small blueberry patch, refurbished a raspberry patch and cleared the way for food-bearing trees and shrubs. This season she plans to add an underground root cellar, more raised beds for vegetables, a fruit orchard and chickens. (All the while, Victoria has kept her homestead-based business, Peace of Mind Web Design, thriving.)
"We've had to be efficient with the space, not collecting things we don't need and only having the things we really use on hand," Victoria says. "There are no closets in this antique house, so we utilize armoires and trunks to store all of our things. Living in a small house really forces you to get real about how much 'stuff' you really need. We've got a few things in storage (like all of our big furniture, which wouldn't fit through the doors!), but not a whole lot."
Lack of storage space and real bedrooms are the only drawbacks to Victoria's small home. This year she plans to add a small addition that will create two small bedrooms, and she uses baskets and built-in storage units to contain clutter. These are small issues, Victoria adds, compared with the satisfaction and joy the cabin brings.
"It's been an incredible gift for our entire family, our friends, and everyone who sees it," she says. "There's just something about this building that exudes 'cozy' and a whole lotta love. Maybe it's all the handwork that went into it, both originally and in the rebuild. Maybe it's the location. I don't know. All I know is that it's a blessing, and I absolutely love living here."
To learn more about Victoria's journey, check out her blog, Modern Homesteading.
Victoria and her family took apart, moved and reassembled the cabin on its current site.
Victoria repurposed the original cabin's front door, complete with the owner's initials, as the bathroom door. "I love the additional sense of history it brings," she says. "The whole building is a conversation piece, but that door is in a whole other category. I simply adore it."
Victoria describes her bathroom, with its clawfoot tub and nickel rainshower showerhead as "a tiny oasis of heritage and modern convenience."
The cabinets in the galley kitchen were built using scrap wood and old louvered doors.
The kitchen has a hand-built spruce countertop and an antique cast iron sink and drainboard.
Victoria painted a dark oak table with glossy white paint and installed white tabbed curtains that she found at a thrift store in the living room.
Because the antique home has no closets, Victoria relies on armoires and chests. She painted this one black to match the curtain rods, dark beams and metal.
A small woodstove heats the entire home. Victoria plans to replace it with a more efficient model soon.
Victoria makes use of every inch of space. This stairway landing also serves as a gallery for her art and family photos.
Victoria and Jonah love modern homesteading.

Price: $14.99
Developed by renowned marine archaeologist and accomplished author Don Shomette and designed by award-winning cartographer Robert Pratt, "Shipwrecks of the Northeast" is a stunning new map illustrating more than 5,400 known shipwrecks on the untamed Atlantic coast of New England (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island).
From Rhode Islands' Narragansett Bay to Maine's St. Croix River, the shipwrecks are clearly marked atop beautiful bathymetric and coastal detail. Each wreck site is symbolized to define the class, type, and name of vessel accompanied by the date of sinking. Icons also indicate whether a ship was lost due to conflict or natural causes.
Locations of lifesaving stations and lighthouses, along with navigational beacons are also marked. Bathymetric and coastal features are clearly labeled, accompanied by inset maps for Nantucket Sound, Cape Cod Bay, and Martha's Vineyard, Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay and the Boston Harbor Islands.
Captions and drawings are used to highlight unique historical events such as the infamous sinking of the Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria on July 25, 1956 when it collided with the M/V Stockholm in the fog off Nantucket. The first fully authenticated pirate ship, Whydah, is also highlighted in the Pirates of New England section of the map.
Wrecks featured on this map span from mid-1600s galleons to 20th-century naval ships, those lost in military conflict, foul weather, mutinies, unseen rocks, treacherous shoals, mechanical failures, and a myriad of other events. Whether a naval buff, educator, amateur historian, mariner, or someone simply enamored with the captivating power of the seaShipwrecks of the Northeast is a great gift and a perfect addition to your map collection.
Robert E. Pratt is a 28-year, award-winning veteran of countless NGS map products, which include magazine page maps and supplements, wall maps, and atlas maps. In addition, he has worked for organizations such as The Conservation International, The Wilderness Society, Wildlife Management Institute, The U.S. Naval Academy, The Baltimore Museum of Industry, The Mariners' Museum, and Maryland Historical Society.
Donald G. Shomette has worked with the U.S. Navy in providing the largest federal historic shipwreck inventory to date and has surveyed some of the oldest shipwreck fleets along the Atlantic coast. A well-known maritime archaeologist of Western Europe and the Western Hemisphere, he has been sponsored by the National Geographic Society and the National Park Service. Don has been the recipient of numerous honors, including the twice winner of the John Lyman Book Award for Best Maritime History.

ZF-12487: Zend_Config_Yaml does not parse embedded PHP
In using {{sfYaml::load($fileUri)}} I have become accustomed to embedding PHP code, specifically constants, within my Yaml files. Running {{sfYaml::load}} natively handles the embedded PHP fine, but when I attempt to use Zend_Config_Yaml with 'decoder' passed in as an option, the embedded PHP code gets treated as a string of text.
After looking at the source code, it appears that line: 169 is the culprit. The file_get_contents call parses the yaml file as a string with no regard to embedded php code, instead it should use output buffering like {{sfYaml::load()}} does.
$config = new Zend_Config_Yaml($fileUri, 'nav', array('yaml_decoder' => array('sfYaml', 'load')));
$nav = new Zend_Navigation($config);
array (size=1)
'nav' =>
array (size=2)
'Admin' =>
array (size=5)
'groups' => string '<?php echo UserPlugin_Api_Group::ID_ADMIN . PHP_EOL ?>' (length=54)
'render_if' => string 'logged_in' (length=9)
'label' => string 'Admin' (length=5)
'uri' => string '@fakeUri' (length=8)
'pages' =>
Notice the 'groups' line, instead of: {{'groups' => string '<?php echo UserPlugin_Api_Group::ID_ADMIN . PHP_EOL ?>'}}, it should read: {{'groups' => int '1'}}
To maintain the ability to parse embedded PHP code, I'd suggest adding a check to see if the {{yamlDecoder === array(CLASS, 'decode')}}, if so, then use file_get_contents, if not let the passed in callback handle the parsing of the yaml file.
This issue has been closed on Jira and moved to GitHub for issue tracking. To continue following the resolution of this issues, please visit: https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/issues/42

Chemotherapy works by attacking cells at different stages in their reproduction cycle. Cancer cells are rapidly dividing cells, so certain drugs can target them. But unfortunately, they also attack normal cells that rapidly divide. That means chemotherapy can have an effect on healthy cells as well as on cancer cells.
Not everyone will get the same drugs or receive them the same way. Your treatment will be individualized for you. Before treatment starts, you will meet with a medical oncologist. This is a doctor who specializes in treating cancer with drugs. The doctor will talk with you about your treatment and explain what you might expect. The actual treatment the doctor prescribes will be based on an evaluation of these factors:
The kind of cancer you have--whether it is colon or rectal cancer
The stage of the cancer
The goal of the treatment--for instance, to shrink a tumor before surgery or to relieve symptoms from an advanced cancer
Your general health
Your age
Concerns you have about side effects
What treatments you have had in the past (if any)
Your doctor will work with you on a plan for the appropriate drug or combination of drugs, as well as how you will receive the drugs and how long you should take them.
Most people have chemotherapy as an outpatient at a hospital or clinic, at the doctor's office, or at home. Sometimes, though, depending on the drugs and your health, you may need to stay in the hospital during treatment.
You may receive drugs by pill, by injection, or through a combination of the two. You usually receive them over a period of time. For instance, you may go to the hospital and receive drugs once a week for four weeks. Then you may have two weeks when you don't receive any drugs. At the end of the six weeks, the cycle starts over. If your doctor doesn't tell you, you should ask how long this pattern will last. Knowing when it will end can make the routine easier to stay with.
One common way people receive drugs for colorectal cancer is intravenously--as a bolus, as a longer IV infusion, or as a continuous infusion. A bolus (or IV push) is a dose of drug that's given intravenously (IV) all at once over a short period of time (usually a few minutes). An IV infusion can last from 30 minutes to a few hours. A continuous infusion is given continuously by an electric pump that you wear all day, usually for one to seven days. With this approach, the drug goes into your system more slowly, so you may be able to tolerate it better. That means you may have fewer side effects.
Here is a list of common drugs used for colorectal cancer:
5-FU (fluorouracil)
Wellcovorin (leucovorin)
Xeloda (capecitabine)
Camptosar (irinotecan, CPT-11)
Eloxatin (oxaliplatin)
These drugs are often given along with targeted therapies.

It's been years since pregnancy hormones coursed through my veins. So how to explain the fact that lately I'm acting like someone in the grip of a sudden oxytocin rush? Me, a casual cook at best, and yet I've been hauling out the slow cooker and standing at the stove to make soups, stews and casseroles — anything in the comfort food or healthy/convenient category. Then I go on a "freezing frenzy," stockpiling these carefully labeled meals as if I'm expecting a famine. It's not that. It's that my daughter is expecting a baby, a first grandchild.
And it all feels very familiar, a faint yet potent echo of the "nesting" instincts that took hold just before my own two children were born. I think back with amusement — picturing my 20-something self, nine months pregnant, standing on the kitchen counter (yikes!) feverishly relining shelves. Who knew compulsions like this were going to resurface?
My husband hasn't escaped this mysterious pull, either. For the first time in recent memory, he's taking a proactive role in seeding the lawn, clearing the attic, tasks he usually hates and postpones. It's as if both of us are responding to some primitive biological cue, the need to clear out old debris and make a warm, unsullied place for a new life to take root.
Since this is a spring baby, rebirth metaphors are hard to resist — even the ones that sound trite and sentimental to our usual snarky selves. Because that's the other thing about this whole amazing process: nature takes over. These days, we find ourselves acting less likeourselves, and more like (grand) parents-to-beeverywhere. As my daughter got closer to her due date, it felt like I had a once-removed version of Pregnancy Brain, both foggy and hyper-vigilant. I jumped whenever the phone rang (how did we do this before cell phones?) and felt vaguely uneasy if I didn't know exactly where my daughter was. Anytime I did have her safely under my watch — a womb metaphor if ever there was one — I was calmer. Nothing bad can happen as long asI'm here. That maternal conceit has nothing to do with reality, but my reptilian brain doesn't seem to get the message.
I once had to write a detailed explanation of the fight-or-flight syndrome. Up till then, I had no real idea how it worked, how nature knows exactly which mind/body resources to amp up — and which to click off — when a challenge arises. (For instance, a sudden output of adrenalin helps you react fast and move quickly; hunger becomes less urgent—in fact, a nervous loss of appetite can be the body's way of staying "light," a holdover from the days our ancestors had to be physically agile to confront primitive dangers.)
Right before a baby comes, it can feel like this whole fight-or-flight preparedness system is stuck inthrottle mode, like an idling engine. You know that any time now…wham! A whole new life is about to burst into the world. But, unless it's a scheduled birth, there's no controlling the when or how. That fact alone has an unaccustomed feel to it, in this modern world where so much can be pre-programmed and micromanaged. (Occasionally, when my daughter and her husband discuss some aspect of pregnancy or breastfeeding, I catch myself saying, "Is it still done it that way?"… momentarily forgetting that dealing with a natural process is nothing like making the switch from Blackberry to iPhone, or from DVDs to on-demand streaming.)
As it turned out, my daughter and I spent the night before the birth in the delivery room together. Once she was out of pain (I could feel my own self becoming unclenched as the epidural brought its welcome numbness), we were left with the sweetest blend of calm and excitement. The room was dimly lit and cozy; everything felt hushed and safe, and we were lulled to sleep by the steady whoosh-whoosh sounds of the fetal monitor transmitting my soon-to-be-born grandson's heartbeat.

"There's a message" Paul said sounding more than a bit perplexed.
It was 8 a.m., and I had just crash landed on the bed in our hotel room and was busy testing which pillow was most nap friendly after our overnight, no-sleep, transatlantic flight to Rome.
Four days and nights of childless abandon in The Eternal City with my husband, brother, and sister-‐in-law had just begun. Paul and I had honeymooned in Italy 14 years prior, but our 10-‐day excursion was spread far too thin across five locations, including a hectic two‐day stop in Rome.
My memory of Rome had unfortunately mostly faded. The Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum had all been right in front of me. Yet, 14 years later my most vivid memory was of the gypsies I had been forewarned would target me, the naïve, lost looking, blond tourist with the fanny pack. A wrinkled old woman shrouded in a long black robe approached me along with a swarm of tattered-‐looking children who surrounded and scared the life out me.
"I don't!," I nervously snapped at them when they asked if I had any change to spare.
"Buongiorno! Welcome to Roma! I'm waiting in the lobby so come on down as soon as you're ready. Ciao!" announced Father John in a message over the telephone speaker.
We had agreed to meet up with an acquaintance from home, a young Catholic priest we had met a handful of times through family. Since we last saw him, he had ventured back to Rome to study for an advanced degree in Canon Law. He was 30-something, gregarious, tall, handsome and clearly an early riser and very eager tour guide. We splashed water on our faces and rushed down to the lobby.
It's worth noting that brother Andy, sister-in-law Tracey and I are not Catholic. But my husband Paul is a devout Catholic and was immediately drawn in by Father John's welcome to "Disneyland for Catholics."
When in Rome, I highly recommend spending as much time as possible with a Catholic priest by your side. It is the equivalent of walking through a New Jersey town with Bruce Springsteen in tow; a priest is a rock star in Rome. Crowds part as you walk the sidewalks, lines disappear at cafes and gelatarias, and no restaurant reservation is out of reach. Despite his Polish descent, Father John spoke beautiful Italian and proved to be an expert in all things Roma. He expedited our way through the cobblestone streets with purpose and efficiency. At each stop we were fussed and catered to as if paparazzi would be arriving at any moment. Day one was complete and not a gypsy in sight.
The Basilica of St. Peter awaited us on the second day and specifically, the Scavi Tour. The Scavi is an underground tour of the Necropolis, something very sacred and very difficult to arrange. Most visitors have applied for their tour more than a year in advance.

Excellent ProductI have extremely thick, course hair. I have so much hair that it costs over $600 for me to get a chocolate treatment. As a result, I get them twice a year instead of every four months. This cap is great for refreshing my treatment at a fraction of the cost. I have used it both with a keratin masque and with my regular conditioner, and both ways my hair comes out soft and shiny. It comes with one processing package, I bought a pack of 30 for approximately $4. This was the best price I found anywhere on the internet. This is a good deal on an excellent product.Apr 12, 2013Sarah K. / United StatesHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Try Something ElseThe little blue plastic cap that comes with the hood is cheap and the elastic broke within a few weeks. The hood itself is uncomfortable when you tie it under your chin, but doesnt quite fit snugly if you dont tie it under your chin. Im not sure if this is a flaw in my cap or if this is normal, but the cap does not get warm at the nape of the neck, which means the conditioner I put it is still cold after an hour under this thing! Lastly, the cap can easily burn your ears if youre not careful. Try a heat cap that inflates instead.Mar 10, 2009A.p.

UkI brought this product and used it, I am from the UK and although the product heated up okay, i left it for a minute only to find it burnt itself away i dont know if that is because the current is different!

House passes Border Patrol bill
Sponsor says it will improve accountability
A bill that would make the U.S. Customs and Border Protection an official part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was approved by the House of Representatives this week.
Currently, CBP is a federal agency, but it was never formally authorized into law. The United States Customs and Border Protection Authorization Act would authorize border, maritime, and transportation security responsibilities and functions in DHS.
The bipartisan bill was introduced by Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman Candice Miller (R-MI) and co-sponsored by Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) and Subcommittee Ranking Member Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX).
When presenting the bill in May, Rep. Miller said, if passed, the bill would improve the accountability, transparency and overall function of the DHS. Without formal authorization CBP has been operating without statutory mandates from Congress or the American public.
In the last year, CBP has found itself in the center of multiple controversies.
In a report submitted to the White House last October, the federal Office of Special Counsel estimates misuse of overtime pay in six DHS offices, including CBP, cost taxpayers $8.7 million a year.
One whistleblower told E.W. Scripps Company reporters his attempts to address the problem 30 years ago went unanswered.
Click here to read the complete investigation.
In early March, the border patrol announced new rules for agents in the field, reiterating how the agents should respond to fleeing vehicles and threats of violence. The directive from Border Patrol Chief Mike Fisher limits agents from shooting at moving vehicles or people throwing rocks at the them.
A recent independent review of border patrol shootings criticized the agency for "lack of diligence" in investigations. The review looked at 67 shooting incidents, resulting in at least 19 deaths, along the U.S. borders from 2010 to 2012.
CBP is one of the world's largest law enforcement agencies with more than 60,000 employees.
"It is critical that Congress provide greater transparency, accountability and oversight to CBP on a routine basis," Congressman McCaul said in a press release.
This bill passed in the House Monday by voice vote and now moves to the Senate for consideration. It amends the Homeland Security of Act of 2002 which created DHS and brought 22 other federal agencies together.
According to the website Govtrack.us, the bill has a 37% chance of being enacted.

Capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur was built in the 18C by Jai Singh II, according to a checkerboard plan inspired by astronomy. This precise layout takes nothing away from the charms of the "pink city", which is enlivened by numerous bazaars selling local arts and crafts: precious and semi-precious stones, pottery, fabrics etc. In the heart of the old city stands the City Palace complex, surrounded by a crenellated wall and home to the extraordinary Palace of the Winds. Its screened windows were the favourite observation point for women living in the palace.

The Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Toolkit is designed to help local jurisdictions identify and explore the kinds of actions and programs they can undertake to reduce vehicle emissions, as well as meet other community goals, such as spur economic development, increase biking and walking, support downtowns, create healthy livable communities, and more. Each Strategy Report describes an action, program or policy which can be implemented by a jurisdiction. The report gives an overview of what it is, how it can benefit a community, how costly it is implement (and how long it takes to see results), and gives examples of where it has been used. The reports are an entry point to a topic, and intended as a tool for planners to explore and communicate about the strategies described. The Case Studies in the Toolkit explore the strategies more deeply and show on the ground examples within Oregon where they have been used. They illustrate the benefit of multiple strategies used together, and show how collaboration and patience are used to achieve results. To use the Toolkit, using the menu box on the right, you can browse by categories that group the strategies into common community goals and objectives, or search alphabetically.
We are happy to offer a free email subscription service which allows you to be notified by email when new information is available. When you subscribe, you'll be notified automatically whenever new information is available on this site. If you have suggestions for additions or changes to any of the Toolkit components, we welcome your input. Please send your comments or questions to: Stephanie Millar503-986-4224

|Soccer announces awards
MOSCOW, Idaho – Head coach Pete Showler and the University of Idaho women's soccer team hosted its season-ending awards banquet alongside Vandal volleyball Sunday afternoon and celebrated a season of another step forward.
The Vandal women went 8-11-3 overall, 3-3-1 in the Western Athletic Conference and reached the WAC Tournament semifinal round for the first time in school history in 2011 and posted a .500 or better conference record for the second-consecutive season – also a program first.
Junior midfielder Jill Flockhart (Salmon Arm, B.C.), who started all 22 games, scored two goals and led the team with six assists in 2011, was voted Players' Player of the Year by her teammates to lead the awards. Flockhart was selected to the All-WAC First Team for the second year in a row this season.
Also in a player vote, junior defender Lauren Layton (Spokane, Wash.), a defender with three assists this season, was voted Most Inspirational Player. With her three assists this season, the outside back now has 14 career assists – the second-highest total in school history.
For the third year in a row, junior forward Chelsea Small (Solana Beach, Calif.) earned the Golden Boot Award as the team's leading scorer. Small led Idaho with 10 goals and 24 total points this season. Small was a First-Team All-WAC selection for the third year in a row and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-West Region pick for the second year in a row.
Junior defender Christine Leathem (Surrey, B.C.) graded out as the team's top defensive player and earned the Golden Shinnie Award. Leathem was honored on the WAC All-Tournament Team in November after her standout play in helping lead Idaho to its first conference tournament victory.
Junior midfielder Megan Lopez (Oceanside, Calif.) was honored with the Kathy Clark Scholar-Athlete Award, which is given each year to the one player from each team at Idaho who exemplifies scholarship, leadership and citizenship, in addition to athletic exploits. Lopez started every game at center mid for Idaho, scored one goal and sent two assists. She is a two-time WAC All-Academic honoree who is also active in Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Idaho soccer also honored fifth-year senior Alison "Larry" Page at the event. Page, the lone senior from the 2011 squad, was the first commit for Showler when he became Idaho's head coach in 2005. The defender from Horsham, England, has been a team captain for the last two seasons.

Park land hot topic at Topsail Beach candidate forum
Published: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 10:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 1:40 p.m.
This story was corrected at 1:39 p.m. Oct. 23, 2013, to accurately reflect candidate priorities.
Land the town of Topsail Beach bought to turn into a park remains a contentious subject and one heavily debated during a Topsail Beach commissioner candidate forum Tuesday night.
The six men running for three seats on the town's board of commissioners answered questions pertaining to everything from property taxes to bike lanes throughout the two-hour forum sponsored by the Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism.
More than 50 people gathered to listen to six candidates in the Historic Assembly Building.
A majority of the current board voted late last year to allocate $500,000 from the town's general fund reserve to pay for about a 1-acre lot at the corner of Anderson and Davis streets to develop a multi-purpose park.
Commissioners and incumbent Julian Bone voted against the plan, which seeks a state parks and recreation grant to pay for about half the cost of the park.
Bone reiterated Tuesday that he has been against the park "from day one."
"It's a want, not a need," he said.
Fellow commissioner and incumbent Grier Fleischhauer defended his decision in supporting the park.
"The park fits right in with the family values of this town," he said.
Bone and Fleischhauer are vying to hold their seats, filling four-year terms on the board. They are up against Morton Blanchard, Tom Eggleston, Steve Smith, and Buck Taylor.
Blanchard said he is "not crazy about the park at all."
"But, it's there," he said. "I think we've got to find some other use for it."
Eggleston agreed. "I'm opposed to the park mainly because of the cost," he said.
Smith said he supports the current board's decision to seek a state parks and recreation grant.
Taylor, who lost in the town's mayoral race two years ago after a term as town commissioner, said he was opposed to the park.
Maintaining the New River Inlet, which has been closed off and on because of heavy shoaling, and beach nourishment are among the top priorities of all candidates.
Voters will decide who will take the three open seats on the board Nov. 5.

"Cookies for Grown-ups" is commendable for so many reasons. The recipes are not too sweet, and I love the combinations of flavors. The photography is gorgeous!

Cutting Remarks
In "Find Your Perfect Cut," I was disappointed to see that the photos were small and all were front views of professionally styled famous women. How about some options for those of us who can't afford glamorous stylists? We need real ideas for women who do their own hair each morning!

The Truth about Celiac
As a celiac disease sufferer, I was thrilled to read about the importance of understanding the disorder in "The Newest Denial Diet." I eat out often, and it's difficult to find restaurants that meet my needs. Also, most women I know with the disease would love a diet program; I'm carrying an extra 15 pounds. More scientific research is needed to find the cause and a cure. Keep the articles coming.

My name is angel i saw your profile today and became interested in you,i will also like to know you more, and i want you to send an email to my email address so i can give you my picture for you to know whom i am.
Here is my email address(email@example.com )
I believe we can move from here !and remember that distance or colour doesn't matter anything but love matters allot in life.
I am waiting for your mail to my privet email address above.
see your reply soon.
I see you Michele. You should reach out in a couple of weeks before we start school. I work at the gym there so if you come down on a day I work, I can give you a tour of the facilities, and the rest of the campus maybe. Anyway, you have been a blessing to connect with thus far, and much more is to come.
He/She who is like God..Michael and Michel(l)e....whenever you see a name that has an El in it think of the Elohim...I am not sure of your religious/spiritual beliefs but along with many other names and stories about the creation of mankind, The Elohim are thought by some to be the creators of mankind
Thank you!!! To answer your question it is with two L's, but I do know one girl who has it with one :-) either way it's a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning
You and your daughter are gorgeous!!!! I appreciate the response as well and I guess I was drawn to your page because you have the same name as my mother. Wishing you and your family health and happiness. Take care :-)
LOL LOL I was over here tripping at your comment!!! and you are not slow....That was a Mayan greeting which means "I am another you" and when you say that you put your hand over your heart. It shows commonalty and is similar to saying "Namaste" or I respect the divinity in you. But how do you do....I guess a simple hello woulda suffice!!! lol
take care
I don't have myspace or twitter but I have a facebook, so you can find me there
Sorry for the delayed response. I made this profile and I almost forgot about it. Ummmm, I could only tell you that I can try. I am not an instructer, so I can't teach you properly. I can teach you jiu-jitsu and muay thai as those are arts I am comfortable with. Either way, I will be checking back every now and then. Peace!

Tony Sparano worries about delays to NFL season
Tony Sparano's a football coach at his core. That's why the Miami Dolphins' head coach doesn't have ANYTHING to say about the labor dispute the NFL's owners and the now decertified NFLPA is present having.
That's not his area of expertise, and he'd rather say nothing to avoid offending anyone.
Like most coaches and fans, all Sparano cares about is when the lockout will end, giving him and his coaches the permission to have contact with his present players, workout his draftees, and when the Dolphins will be able to add new ones through free agency.
At this point Sparano's pouring all of his focus on the draft, and hints that might not be a totally good thing. He's worried about overdoing it, and compares this process to when a team have two weeks to prepare for a game. When that happens teams generally begin to over-think the process, and second-guess themselves.
The same might be the case for the creating and installation of Brian Daboll's offense. The coaches have plenty of time to work on it, drawing plays up, altering language. But they'll likely very little time to install it so there's some thought that simplicity might be better if OTAs are skipped, training camp is pushed back, and the exhibition season is cut down.
The Dolphins have already been fined for having inappropriate contact with players during the offseason's dead period. The longer a lockout lasts the harder it's going to be to get the offense – new quarterbacks, new running backs, rebuilt offensive line – up to speed.
How much does that concern you?
We've got more video and topics from Sparano coming today so stay tuned and press F5 to refresh the blog.

Price: $19.95
Circle the globe with National Geographic on an underwater voyage powered by earth's great ocean currents, the incredible superhighways of marine life. You'll plunge into an alien world where millions of sea creatures, from tiny seahorses to enormous sharks, spend their entire lives adrift, circling the planet on currents that can carry them 100 miles a day. Some of the animals are familiar, like the fragile, just-hatched loggerhead turtle you'll follow as she swims for her life to avoid the deadly dolphin fish. Others are almost too strange to believe, like the Portuguese Man-o-War. This strange creature raises its own sail to catch the wind "trawls" for fish with its venomous 50 foot-long tentacles. You'll drive into the eerie darkness at 3,000 feet in a high-tech sub as scientists study the strange, glow-in-the-dark phenomenon called bioluminescence. Animals like the sea cucumber somehow turn on their own lights-sometimes brightly enough to illuminate the inside of the sub-in what is thought to be a form of deep sea communication. Join National Geographic for this extraordinary odyssey into the unknown world of Ocean Drifters.
Not available for shipment outside of the U.S. and Canada.

Post subject: My Library is dropping Overdrive
Our state library system is dropping Overdrive due to a price increase of 700% over the next 3 years. They will be using a system called EZ Library (One Click Digital), hopefully soon, for digital downloads of e books. They don't have a contract yet with Amazon for Kindle downloads. I was so excited to finally be reading library books on my Kindle and now its gone. Is anyone else noticing changes at their library?

My library just started with Overdrive this summer.
I felt sorry for the librarians as none of them really knew the difference between Kindle, ePub, etc. They were scheduled for a half-day seminar in August and that's all the training they received. So their advice consisted of, "click on the home page and follow the steps"
They've got a pretty good mix of romance, YA, non-fiction, mystery, etc. They add a few hundred books every month so the digital title selection is steadily growing.

Sorry to hear about that. My library used to have NetLibrary in addition to Overdrive, but it sucked eggs, so I was glad when they stopped wasting money on it.

That's tragic! I don't know what I'd do without Overdrive. My mother's library has NetLibrary and it was so awful that this summer I took her to my library (an hour away from her home but within the same state) so she could get a card to enable her to use Overdrive on her Nook. Is there another library you can get a card to? My country library in Ohio allows anyone who is a legal resident of the state to get a card. Or there are libraries you can pay a fee to for a card. Good luck.

I think publishers are starting to flex their muscles about loaning ebooks. I own a Kindle and Overdrive has just recently started offering books to us. I am not overly impressed with the Kindle selection as of yet but I am hoping it improves.
BUT, I just read that Penguin pulled all of its books from any loaning program due to a dispute w/Amazon about its new policy of loaning 1 book a month to Prime members. Shades of the pricing war about control of what a retailer does with the books it purchases. I keep reading that publishers are not interested in readers but in selling books to retailers. This is another example of that attitude IMHO. Sheesh!
So many books; so little time!

Thanks for your comments and ideas. It looks like the EZ ebook service will be up mid January for the Ipad so I will try that and hope that the Kindle comes back up soon after. If not, as Charlotte suggested, I might use my other possible library connections. Enjoy those free reads!

Kings Tire & Lube recently presented a $715 donation in funds and equipment to Harrington Parks and Recreation's soccer program.
The business at 955 Bay Road in Milford made the donation, and a similar grant to Milford Parks and Recreation's soccer program, as part of the Michelin Soccer Program, which partners tire dealers with local youth soccer organizations.
The program sends soccer leagues certificates that can be redeemed at the dealer's store for a free soccer ball during a 30-day promotional period. After a 60-day tire rebate promotion included on the certificate, Michelin donates $2 to the soccer organization for each tire sold during the program.
