Beverage Lobbyists Killed Soda Tax
The health freaks had much less money to spend on ineffective advertising.
Successful lobbying by the beverage industry is what killed the soda tax, the Times explains in an analysis of Governor David Paterson's failed campaign. "The health message resonated with public-spirited groups like the New York Academy of Medicine and editorial writers," says the public-spirited Times. "Enter New Yorkers Against Unfair Taxes, set up by beverage companies, grocers, Teamsters who represent drivers and production workers and others." The American Beverage Association spent $9.4 million on its opposition campaign in just the first four months of 2010. The Alliance for a Healthy New York, a group the supported the tax, spent about half that. Where was the tobacco lobby when we needed them?

A European web site, oapen.org, in cooperation with Leiden University Press, is offering a free e-book on the history of book publishing in the Middle Ages.
Striving to be as period as possible, the SCA has renamed its upcoming anniversary event from "50 Year" to "L Year".
The National Library of Wales has ghosts - but not the scary kind. These ghosts are images, seen only by using ultraviolet lighting, in the 750-year-old Black Book of Carmarthen, "the first Welsh text to include medieval figures such as King Arthur and Merlin," and the images are doodles and poetry added throughout the ages.

December 10, 1998
Hon. Donna Shalala, Secretary
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
200 Independence Ave. SW
Washington, DC 20201
Dear Secretary Shalala:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a unit of the World Health Organization, reviews the safety of many significant chemicals to which humans may be exposed. IARC, which is funded in part by the National Cancer Institute, has enjoyed an excellent reputation due to the credibility of scientists who served on IARCs review committee and the objectivity of its reports. Unfortunately, IARC apparently has lost its objectivity.
IARC has just completed a review of the artificial sweetener saccharin. The committees conclusion -- that saccharin does not pose a cancer risk -- was virtually predetermined by the composition of the committee. The 26-person committee (two additional people could not attend) was dominated by industry representatives and industry consultants. Those people include:
Two additional members -- J. Whysner and G.C. Hard -- work at the American Health Foundation, an organization whose board of directors includes IARC-committee-member R.H. Adamson from the National Soft Drink Association and executives of Pepsi-Cola and Procter & Gamble. Whysner has published papers stating that saccharin does not pose a risk to humans, and Hard was a co-author and colleague at the NCI of J. Rice, the organizer of IARC evaluations.
Thus, fully half of the people on the committee are affiliated with the food and chemical industries and/or had previously concluded that saccharin does not pose a cancer risk. By contrast, the committee did not include any members, such as ones nominated by consumer or environmental organizations, who might have balanced the lopsided industry representation. In fact, IARC specifically rejected CSPIs request to nominate a scientist to participate as a non-voting member of the committee. Frankly, it appears that the review was carefully rigged to exonerate saccharin.
Aside from the extraordinary conflicts of interest, IARCs evaluation was completely inadequate from a scientific standpoint (see enclosed):
The IARC committee was so biased and its evaluation of saccharin so unscientific that DHHS (and the WHO) should demand that IARC withdraw its report. The WHO should appoint a new director for its chemical evaluation process, appoint a new and balanced committee of unquestioned integrity, and then reevaluate saccharin. Failing that, DHHS should cease funding IARC. Also, DHHS should postpone any further deliberations related to saccharins status in the governments Report on Carcinogens (a year ago the National Toxicology Programs Board of Scientific Counselors voted to leave saccharin in that report; the NTPs executive committee is scheduled to vote next week).

JDK 6 Update 6 Performance Release is here!
By dagastine on Jul 07, 2008
Where are the x64 bits? We believe in reliable performance, not just top line performance on targeted workloads. To achieve this we run a lot of tests, and our testing back end is often much longer than the development cycle for any given release. Long story short we found an issue that needed another build, so the x64 binaries will be delivered at a slight delay. Since the performance of an unreliable JDK is zero, we thought you'd understand. I'll update everyone once the x64 binaries are posted.
Finally, I'd like to thank the Apache Harmony project for their JDK optimizations efforts. No, you're not seeing things, I'm thanking Apache Harmony. More details to come in my next blog posting.

Ethan Couch, the Texas teenager whose drunken joyride left four people dead and another paralyzed, was recently given a sentence of 10-years of probation. The presiding judge, according to reports, apparently based her verdict on a defense psychologist's diagnosis of "affluenza."
The premise seems to be that Couch, 16, is too rich, too privileged, and too overindulged to know right from wrong, therefore a fancy rehab, paid for by the parents to the tune of $450,000 per year, would serve him better than a jail sentence would.
According to this report, Couch had a blood alcohol level of 0.23 (three times the Texas legal limit) at the time of the accident, in which the Ford F-350 he was driving plowed into a group of four people all gathered on the side of the road at the scene of a breakdown. Couch had been driving 70 mph and had seven passengers, two of whom, allegedly, were riding, unsecured, in the truck bed. Valium was also detected in Couch's system.
Though prosecutors were shooting for a sentence of 20 years in prison, Judge Jean Boyd sentenced Couch to 10 years of probation as well as ordering a long-term stint at a rehab, and a forced isolation from his parents.
But it was the defense psychologist's testimony that got most of the attention: The psychologist, Gary Miller, allegedly told the judge he found Couch's emotional age to be 12. He also allegedly attributed the boy's arrested development to "affluenza," Affluenza is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "a psychological malaise supposedly affecting wealthy young people, symptoms of which include a lack of motivation, feelings of guilt, and a sense of isolation."
Miller claimed Couch, a child of contentious divorce, basically raised himself. He also claimed the child had no first-hand experience with dealing with the consequences of one's actions.
"His parents never taught him the things that good parents teach children," Miller said. "He never learned that sometimes you don't get your way. He had the cars and he had the money. He had freedoms that no young man would be able to handle."
Can a child be so spoiled by wealth and lax parenting, he has zero understanding of appropriate, responsible behavior? And, if wealth, privilege and overindulgence has contributed to the failure to raise a socially and morally responsible child, why reward that wealth, privilege and overindulgence with more seeming privilege?
Many have pointed out that a teen who was raised by a middle class family, or an impoverished single parent, would more than likely have been given the jail sentence for committing a similar, or even lesser, crime. The message is, if you are rich enough, even if you prove to be criminally inclined– Couch allegedly stole the alcohol before getting super drunk and driving – the consequences of your actions will be far less unpleasant than they would be for someone who is not rich.
Justice, or the lack thereof in our society, is depressing sometimes. I don't doubt this boy has already been served a life sentence of guilt and misery and he most likely needs psychological help, but so do a gazillion other messed up kids who get jail instead.
What is this teaching anyone? Does this sentence sound like justice to you?

The Carlsbad Desalination Infographic: Clean Water in San Diego
Share this Image On Your Site
Please include attribution to DripsWater.com with this graphic.
For information on environmentally responsible filtration solutions for any need or location click HERE.
This infographic of the Carlsbad Desalination plant was to help individuals visualize exactly how this process is completed as well as how it will affect San Diego's clean drinking water. This is a large scaled plan, that will affect both Southern Californian's potable water as well as their wallet.
A combination of natural flowing water, pumps, reverse osmosis and dilution are all needed in order for the salty ocean water to become drinkable for San Diego residents. As mentioned in the flow chart, when this desalination plant comes online in 2016, it will be the largest, most technologically advanced and energy efficient desalination process in the western hemisphere.
EDIT 8/28/2013: The team at Energy Recovery helped to provide some more information regarding the energy saving aspects of this plant and some more about what happens to some of the water after flowing through the membrane. You can use the image below to help see a zoomed in portion of the flowchart:
During the RO process, salt water flows sideways to the membrane, and 60% of this salt water flushes right past membrane. 40% passes through the membrane and is drinkable, moving on to the public. This 60% reject water still has a lot of pressure and still contains salts. If there were not energy recovery devices, the discharge would go right back to ocean with the ocean water unchanged. You can actually recycle this water though and use it again. A pipe goes past the membrane to harness the 60% discharge. The PX Pressure Exchanger® is put in that pipe and its is then recycled to the beginning part of process, all of this done with 98% efficiency. Due to this process, not only is CO2 reduced, but the power bill goes down by 60%.
Feel free to leave any questions or concerns about this process in the comment section below.

The sickness has arrived and I am frustrated
Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Well there is a virus going around my house. So far I haven't got it yet, but I am worried. The bf is very sick, with what I am hoping is not the H1N1 virus. Today I have been trying to convince the bf that when I get home we will go to the hospital because this is not just a plain cold. He has a fever, chills, body aches, a cough.. in his chest I might add, a runny nose and a sore throat. So I am worried and I don't want him to get sicker, but he is being stubborn. I know even if I left here right now, we wouldn't get to the hospital for another few hours because if would take me forever to convince him he needs to go. I am hoping that by the time I get home he is better and his fever has gone down. We don't have the money to go to the hospital as we have so many other hospital bills from other ER trips, but sometimes you just need to go. I really just need to see if he has swine flu. Why it is so frustrating when women are sick we plow through the day, taking care of everything and everyone else and still manage to be fairly pleasant. Yet when men are sick they turn grumpy and mean?! Please give me the strength to deal with this sick man and take deep breaths and don't take anything personally!
**UPDATE** Well guess I don't have to worry about dragging him to the hospital, as he took himself apparently. I just got a call from his dad saying that my bf called him to let him know he was going to the hospital. I guess he went to the Dr's office and they wouldn't take him, so they sent him over to the ER. While I am a bit ticked that he didn't call me, I know he didn't because I am at work and he didn't want me taking off to go get him and drive there. But I am leaving work early anyway and heading up there. Whether he likes it or not.

I'm so glad your BF went to the hospital. H1N1 is nothing to fool around with. It sounds like he has all the symptoms. I got it the middle of December and it turned into pneumonia. I'm still coughing from it. The coughing for so long caused the muscles in my sides to cramp up and I went to a chiropractor who worked wonders on all those overworked sore muscles.
Please post again and let us know how he's doing.
God bless,

Hey, so glad to hear he went to the ER, and hope he doesn't have to wait for hours to be seen; I used to work in an ER and never understood why people had to wait around for so long esp when staff seemed to not be all that busy; was difficult to console families and patients waiting anxious and/or in pain hearing staff laughing and visiting. Sorry..had a venting moment there..
where I am there is a lot of that kind of flu going around; it sometimes sounds as though it's h1n1 but is not; they can do a test to determine if it is; the best thing for any flu is rest rest rest..another thing men are not good at.
hope the news is good for your bf and hope he is seen quickly by someone in the ER!

Good Luck! I live with 4 men...so I know how you feel! I hope it's not the H1N1 virus, it seems to have died down a bit in the news.
Just a little comment about why we women plow through and men become babies... apparently it hits them harder than us, cuz usually men have more muscle than women and the virus attacks the muscle....I think that's a man's excuse but just thought I'd share!
Hope things get better soon!

Napa Valley well-represented in The Bon Appétit Awards 2009 'Hot 10'
Another day, another prestigious awards list with the Napa Valley well represented.
The Bon Appétit Awards 2009 were recently unveiled and included a 'Hot 10' list, which aims to recognize the "…people, companies, and products setting new standards of culinary excellence in food, drinks, travel, and design."
Two of the 'Hot 10' are from the Napa Valley.
First off, Steve Sando of Rancho Gordo (who we met this weekend and enjoyed his heirloom beans) was recognized for "…his commitment to the preservation of rare and heirloom beans." Here's an excerpt from the Bon Appétit write-up:
A search for disappearing native food ingredients led Rancho Gordo founder Steve Sando to sow his own seeds for heirloom beans and tomatoes. Soon Thomas Keller was scooping up rare varieties of legumes from Sando's stand at a Napa Valley farmers' market to serve at his restaurants Per Se and The French Laundry. But unlike pricey, rarefied ingredients accessible only to top chefs, beans have long been the people's protein.
Napa's other representative was Ubuntu's Jeremy Fox for "…creating innovative, inspired vegetarian food." Here's an excerpt:
Nestled in the rich culinary and agricultural traditions of Napa Valley, the vegetable-glorious plates turned out of Jeremy Fox's kitchen bring farm-to-table fare to inspired new heights. Wild fennel bucatini and a coulis of shiitakes and baby radishes are exhibits of locavore cooking at its finest. Morning deliveries from area growers shape each day's menu, and most dishes feature vegetables and herbs from Ubuntu's biodynamic farm. With a dining room crafted out of reclaimed wood, staff members who bike to work, and a yoga studio upstairs, Ubuntu embodies Northern California's reputation for community-focused living.

New Berlin - In a few weeks, New Berlin school officials could know how many students are physically fit enough to be considered in good health.
This fall, the schools started a testing program with seven measures of fitness, most important of which is aerobic capacity, considered the biggest single indicator of whether heart attacks, diabetes and other common serious conditions can be avoided, Eisenhower Middle/High School physical education teacher Kevin Sowinski told the New Berlin School Board on Monday.
The other tests measure such factors as strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition.
The testing shows students their current state of fitness so new goals can be set to achieve a health-enhancing fitness level. The program is designed to help students establish physical activity as part of their daily lives.
Parents are being informed of the test results and of all fitness goals and plans.
Retesting will take place in spring.
The fitness testing program known as Fitnessgram is a battery of health-related fitness tests developed by the Dallas-based Cooper Institute. The institute, established in 1970, is a nonprofit research and education organization dedicated to preventive medicine. The institute's founder, Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, is regarded as the "Father of Aerobics."
Fitnessgram is the only nationally recognized fitness program and was recently adopted by the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness, said Katie Mulloy, elementary school physical fitness teacher who is mainly at Elmwood Elementary School.
So far, testing has been completed at Ronald Reagan and Poplar Creek elementary schools and testing is almost done at Orchard Lane and Elmwood elementary schools, Mulloy said. Testing has started at both the middle and high schools, Sowinski said.
Information is confidential
The only concern school officials have heard is from just a few parents who want to be sure their children's weight and body mass index be kept confidential. That information is kept strictly confidential, Sowinski assured. He even makes sure other students cannot see the scale when he weighs the students, he said.
Board member Tom David said he can understand the parents' concern.
"Parents must be sure the information does not leave the school district," David said.
The teachers' report received plenty of School Board support.
"Knowing what we can work on will be great," School Board President David Maxey said of the parent involvement part of the program.
"It's important for our students to know where they stand fitnesswise," said board member Art Marquardt.

Rules of Civility
It begins with our New Yorker heroine, the marvellously named Katey Kontent, at an exhibition in the 1960s, examining two photos of dashing, wealthy Theodore 'Tinker' Grey.
In the first he is rich and serious; in the second trampy and happy – but which came first? Rewind to 1938 for a year in the life of Katey, a beautiful, smart, if poverty-stricken legal secretary, tearing Manhattan up with her thrillingly rebellious best friend Eve. Then they meet Tinker, a rich socialite who becomes the object of both of their affections, who takes to Katey immediately. At first, the trio's lives are pure high-glam Jazz Age stuff, all cocktails, heavy smoking and heavier flirting, fine fashion and high-speed verbal sparring. But the ladies' subtle one-upmanship is inverted when Eve and Tinker are involved in a serious car accident, and their lives are suddenly forced on to a different track.
If the premise of Towles' debut novel sounds lightweight (it's not) or pastichey (it is, but wonderfully so) then who cares – this is one of the most outright entertaining novels of the year so far.
Towles' elegant prose is honed to absolute precision, his mixture of quotable lines and sharp, characterful observation as addictive and pure as an unadulterated Martini. Rules of Civility exists in a middle ground between the stratified social playground of Edith Wharton and the Manhattan-centred, pre-Mad Men world of Colm Toibin's Brooklyn or Rona Jaffe's The Best of Everything. And at the story's heart is the familiar but always fascinating frisson created by Gatsby/Draper-style secrets.
If there is a criticism, it's that the sections in which Eve and Katey are apart, including much of the middle of the book, lose a snip of the spark of the electrifying moments when they are together. For this book is – surprisingly, perhaps, for a book by a man – almost exclusively about women's relationships with each other: the support they give each other in a male-dominated environment, and how they simultaneously denigrate each other to win over those men.
Katey, refreshingly, seems to stand outside this system, though she is by no means a straightforward heroine, and is quite capable of being bitchy or snide, retaining special contempt for, as she wittily points out, those who earn just a dollar more or a dollar less. It's questionable whether women really had as much freedom in pre-World War II New York as portrayed here, but regardless, this stunningly presented book (all lush art deco) is one that should be read and read this summer.
This might be the first you've heard of Rules of Civility, but should you know someone who's picks it up, it undoubtedly won't be the last.

This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head" (Revelation 12:1).
Reflection: Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of the unborn. Her image shows her as pregnant, carrying God himself. That image converted millions of Aztecs. Today, this image is taken to abortion clinics, where human sacrifice is practiced, and turns the despair of those mothers and fathers into the hope that brings new life.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you continue the miracles of the past and turn death into life. Through Our Lady of Guadalupe may we spread that hope everywhere. Amen.

The models for my photographs and the fashion show are of all backgrounds and walks of life – each bringing a uniqueness and beauty to my work. All of the dresses that the models wear are made from trash bags – with each dress being carefully designed to fit the style, flair and personality of each model. Although I am not a fashion designer or have any prior experience in fashion designing, I hope that you will enjoy the dresses and appreciate the immeasurable time and effort that I have put into it. This project had its many challenges, but I am greatly for the many rewards that have grown from this experience.

Contents of Duxbury Vital Records
Caveat Emptor: Although every effort has been made to provide an accurate transcription of this volume the HTML version should be used with caution. If you are preparing lineage papers for a genealogical society or citing references for publication online or in print you should verify this information using a printed copy or a microform or electronic image of the book. If you do find errors please send me email so that I can correct them.
In HTML it is not always possible to provide an exact visual reproduction of a printed page. I have tried to do so within certain limits. I have used bold face, italics and SMALL CAPITALS when these are used in print. (Note that italics are not used as consistently in this volume as they are in other NEHGS VR volumes. This is probably due to multiple typesetters or multiple proofreaders. I have not tried to correct these inconsistencies.) Superscipt in abbreviations such as 20th are rare in these pages (found only within quotation marks) but are followed when used. The em dash "" was used in print to indicate information that is missing and is so used here. I have not tried to copy the line breaks from print but have used hanging indents as the printed text does - when an entry occupies more than one line the remainder of the line is indented.
Not all browsers support all of the features described above. Users of Firefox, Netscape Navigator/Communicator Version 4 and later or Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4 and later should see these pages as I intended them to be seen. Users of other graphical browsers such as Mosaic and Opera may not see all of the features but should find these pages quite usable.
In the printed version references to sources other than the town vital records are listed in small capitals, including Church, graveyard and private records, as well as Civil War (rebellion) records . The same convention has been followed here, and these references are linked to the explanations of them in the abbreviations pages.
Quotation marks used in print have different forms for the opening and closing of a quotation. These are formally known as typesetter's quotes, and informally as "curly quotes." The computer keyboard has only one form. In an effort to maintain cross-platform compatability I have substituted the computer form of quotation marks for the print forms.
Blank pages around the section title pages are skipped, so that, for example, the "Next" link on page 13 points to page 15, skipping the blank page. For an explanation of my surname indexing see the index page.
The few typographical errors that I have found in the printed volume usually do not affect the accuracy of the information found therein. A typical error is the repetition of part of an entry. I have not added any indication of most errors, but when I have corrected a typo I have done so [in red and in square brackets]. In a very few cases I have (from other sources) added a correction <in red and in angle brackets>.
In a few instances an entry is carried across two pages, so when you are checking an entry at the bottom of a page you should check the top of the following page by using the "Next" link provided.

Writer-director Scott Derrickson attempts to combine the disturbingly frightening supernatural crime-thriller and honey-I-think-we need-a-priest elements of his previous films "Sinister" and "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" in his latest horror piece "Deliver Us From Evil." The result is a very intense and loud though less than curious jumble of a story. It's also easy to see that it was largely adapted from a book as there is simply too much squeezed into it. Some of it works, some of it doesn't and its lack of focus fails to frighten and makes you work to keep up.
Real-life retired NYPD officer Ralph Sarchie wrote a 2001 book titled "Beware the Night" which tells of a particularly ugly case of demonic possession he encountered on the job in the Bronx. The movie updates the story opening with a been there, seen that prologue in 2010 Iraq showing three soldiers finding something bad in a cave. We then jump to 2013 New York where we meet Sarchie (Eric Bana) and follow him through several vague police incidents before reconnecting with our Iraq vets and some violence and weirdness associated with them.
There's also a hard drinking, chain smoking and very rough around the edges priest named Mendoza (Edgar Ramirez) who shows up. Sarchie tiredly dismisses him before realizing he desperately needs his help. In addition, we get a lot of pointless cop buddy interaction with his partner (an energetic Joel McHale from "The Soup") and several hackneyed scenes with Sarchie's wife (Olivia Munn) that bring things to a halt. One scene with his daughter's stuffed toy at bedtime is initially creepy but it was revealed in the trailer and disappointing fizzles without purpose.
Bana's performance is mostly one note as a job weary cop and lapsed faith Catholic made dead inside from the daily pain and suffering he's also addicted to. Munn is relegated to yet another victim wife role with nothing to do but complain that he's never there. Ramirez offers some interest but suffers from the unavoidable recollection of Jason Miller's classic troubled, smoking and drinking priest Father Karras in "The Exorcist."

The place was good not so long away from the town and beach. we would love to once again play together occasion. it was a good holidaying in Krwotiean I will never forget it.
It was a really nice place to stay. Barbara was really nice and so was her father, who lived also in the house (but other floor). I would recommend to bring a car to drive around and visit all the beautiful places. The house was clean and everything as perfect. :)
excellent quality / price ratio and friendly hospitality
ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo e cordiale ospitalità
Super Wohnung.Ein large newly fitted bathroom with a shower at home I also want ^^ ... 500 to the beach, quiet and if you want action, it is not far to Medulin or pulse.

The owner is very friendly and helpful. The apartment on arrival was clean and tidy, kitchen utensils, soap and toilet paper. The nearest beach is approximately 600 meters. Within 100 meters there are a small supermarket, a bus stop and a bar.
In addition, from Pomer you can reach several other beaches (Medulin, Stoja, Premantura - the latter the most beautiful) that are within a few kilometers.
Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
La proprietaria è molto gentile e disponibile. L'appartamento al nostro arrivo era pulito e ordinato, con stoviglie, sapone e carta igienica. La spiaggia più vicina si trova a circa 600 metri. A meno di 100 metri ci sono invece un piccolo supermercato, una fermata dell'autobus e un bar.
Inoltre, da Pomer si possono raggiungere diverse altre spiagge (Medulin, Stoja, Premantura - quest'ultima la più bella) che distano pochi chilometri.
Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Consigliatissimo.
Kellemes környezet. Rendes tulajdonosok. Tiszta ház. Negatívum az internet/wifi macerás. A közös tér csak a teraszon kialakítható érdemes vinni napernyőt. Ajánlani tudom baráti pároknak. 4 Főrészére nagyon kellemes.

Doing one thing as a way of not doing something else is an effective tool for habitual procrastinators, and creating the To-Do list is a good way to go about it, says John Perry, Stanford philosopher and winner of the 2011 Ig Nobel prize for literature. An excerpt from his latest book on the art of procastrination
If you are a structured procrastinator, you likely have vaguely in mind, or perhaps even written down somewhere, the things you ought to be accomplishing in the days, weeks, months, and perhaps even years ahead. And at the top, motivating you to do seemingly less important things will be something that seems of paramount importance but, really, for one reason or another, isn't all that crucial after all. This is what I'll call your priority list. It's a long-term list; the projects on it will occupy you for a day or a week or a month or longer, perhaps your whole life, if you have something like "Learn Chinese" at the top.
This chapter is about a different sort of list: a daily to-do list. Many procrastinators use such a list. You might think the purpose of a to-do list is to remind you what to do. And it can be useful in that way. But that is not its primary purpose. The main function of the daily-to-do list is to give the procrastinator the experience of checking off tasks as they are finished. Putting a check in the box next to the item, or crossing it out with a flourish, gives one a little psychological lift. It helps us to think of ourselves as doers, accomplishers, and not just lazy slugs. It gives us psychological momentum.
You can use your computer to make your to-do list. In fact various programs and websites — for example, Outlook, Gmail, and LazyMeter.com — will generate nice lists for you. But they are not optimal because usually the task simply disappears when you check it off. It would be much more satisfying if a big red line were drawn through the task, accompanied by a little noise of triumph, but I haven't found a program that does this.
I try to make a to-do list before I go to bed and then leave it by the clock. It starts like this;
By the time I sit down with my first cup of coffee, I can check off seven items. This feels good and looks impressive. My day of accomplishment is off to a flying start. I don't need reminders to do any of these things. But I do need a little pat on the back for doing them. The only likely way of getting that pat is by having a to-do list, so I can cross off completed tasks.
The system of breaking tasks down into small increments, and giving yourself a good pat on the back for achieving each of them, has solid credentials. The Tao Te Ching tells us to "accomplish the great task by a series of small acts." I found this quote in Robert Maurer's book One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way. Kaizen is a Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement through small, implementable steps. If you say you are adopting the Kaizen Way, rather than simply that you are trying to procrastinate less, you will sound like you have adopted a martial arts regimen. That's kind of cool. …
Easy tasks at the beginning will help you get the feelings of accomplishment flowing. The list should include do-nots along with the dos. For example:
This is my list for today. I made it through "Open Word" successfully. Then I came to "Dummett Review." Michael Dummett was a very important philosopher who wrote a little book on a big topic with the title Thought and Reality. I have agreed to review it for Mind, a fine British philosophy journal. I've read the book through several times, and I've even started the review. But it's hard finishing it. Reviewing an important book by an important philosopher for a top journal is pretty daunting. It's high on my priority list. It's way overdue — but in the philosophy business, the top journals seem to be used to missed deadlines. Philosophers are a pretty flaky crowd, I'm afraid. I'm definitely not the only structured procrastinator the journal has to deal with. At any rate, I couldn't finish it again today. So instead I am working on this chapter — structured procrastination at work.
Practice defensive to-do list making — spend a little time thinking about how your day could get derailed in the early stages and put in safeguards to circumvent that. Last night I saw When Harry Met Sally on TV. I knew there would be a good chance I'd want to start off this morning by googling "Meg Ryan," to see if there are some other movies of hers that I'd forgotten about and would like to see. Once I start googling, I seldom stop simply because I find what I was originally looking for:
I see Meg was married to Dennis now which Quaid brother is that? I'll check "Dennis Quaid" on Wikipedia. Ah, the handsome one. I should have guessed. Look at that, his father was a cousin of Gene Autry! Haven't thought about Gene Autry in a long time. Remember "Tumbling Tumbleweeds"? Great song. I wonder If I can get it on iTunes…
And on and on. It's best to short-circuit this whole waste of time by putting "Don't google Meg Ryan" on the to-do list, along with other reminders not to get derailed. ...
Follow this advice, and to-do lists can be helpful. They won't cure procrastination, but they are part of the strategy of self-manipulation that can help make the procrastinator into a productive human being.

The following is a bio and slideshow of hot photos of WNBA basketball star Skylar Diggins. As you can see in the photos, Skylar Diggins is pretty hot.
Hot photos of WNBA basketball star Skylar Diggins in 2014
Skylar Diggins was born on August 2, 1990, in South Bend, Indiana. Skylar attended Washington High School in South Bend, where she led the girls basketball team to state title games every year, and to a state championship in 2007.
After averaging 25.9 points per game in high school, Skylar Diggins was one of the most sought after college recruits in the country. In a move that probably shocked no one, Skylar chose to play college basketball at Notre Dame, which is in her hometown of South Bend, Indiana.
At Notre Dame, Skylar Diggins was a four-year starter and she averaged 15.7 points and just under 5.0 assists per game. Notre Dame had a combined record of 130-20, and made three Final Fours and two championship games during Skylar Diggins' career there.
After college, Skylar Diggins was taken with the third overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft by the Tulsa Shock. After averaging 8.5 points and 3.8 assists per game as a rookie, Skylar Diggins is averaging over 19 points and 7 assists per game in her second season in the WNBA in 2014.
Skylar Diggins made news when she chose Roc Nation Sports to represent her. Skylar became the first female client of Roc Nation Sports, which is owned by Jay-Z.
In 2014, Skylar Diggins posed in a hot swimsuit photo in Sports Illustrated. Hope you enjoy the hot photos of Skylar Diggins in the slideshow. Watch for Skylar at Tulsa Shock WNBA basketball games this year.

Van Wylen Library Faculty FAQ
What kinds of instruction and services are available to my students?
All incoming first-year students complete a library component as part of their First Year Seminar course. Additionally, all English 113 classes include approximately three hours of library instruction, usually in the Library Teaching Lab (LTL)
Many upper level classes in various disciplines have in-library class sessions for learning more advanced, discipline-specific research. Students are also encouraged to set up appointments with librarians for in-depth consultation.
I want to develop a class assignment that will challenge my students to search for information in thoughtful and creative ways. How can the Library help?
Faculty are encouraged to share assignments in the planning stage with librarians. Sometimes a brief discussion can help ensure that an assignment is as effective as possible--and students benefit as a result.
Librarians will also develop web based course guides to help point your students to the most important resources in a specific subject area.
What assistance can the Library provide if I suspect student plagiarism?
Librarians often can track down plagiarized sources, especially if the original source is available electronically. We work confidentially with faculty and can point you to good sources to use to educate students about plagiarism. If you suspect plagiarism has occured, please contact one of the Reference Librarians.
I want to know what databases are available at Hope College.
A quick tour of the menu on the Van Wylen Library home page will introduce you to online databases such as FirstSearch, LexisNexis, and HopeCAT. Librarians are happy to show you the variety of resources available.
I want to make some readings available to my entire class. How do I put items on Reserve in the Library?
Faculty may place many types of items on reserve for their students to use in the library (photocopies of articles, books, videos, sample exams, etc.). The Closed Reserves Request Form (PDF) is available online or at the Reserve Desk (1st floor of the Library). Other information about Reserves can be found at the Reserves Desk Information web page.
The Library does not have some materials I think it should. How do I order them?
Each academic department appoints one person from the department to serve as the Library Liaison. Orders should be coordinated through this individual. The library liaison oversees the development of the library collection in that department or discipline and coordinates the department's budget allocation. You can find your Liaison on the Departmental Liaisons and Library Representatives page.
Are all the periodicals kept on the first floor display shelves?
No. The Library subscribes to over 900 periodicals in print and more than 30,000 online. The print periodical collection is arranged by call number and housed according to format: current issues on the first floor display shelves, in microform cabinets on the second floor, and in the stacks.

Dyeing your hair is an intimidating activity. Everyone sees your hair. When you walk down the street or sit at your desk, your hair is on display. For a long time, you had two options when it came time to color your hair: learn how to dye your hair at home and display amateur results, or spend lots of money on a salon visit where a professional stylist can color your hair for you. Della Ricca is changing this perception with professional-level results while still dyeing your hair at home.
With the home hair coloring kits from Della Ricca, you will have step-by-step instructions that will walk you through everything you need to do – from start to finish – to color your hair. Learning how to dye your hair at home has never been easier. You will have beautiful, natural-looking results without having to leave your home. Even the best at home hair dye that you find in the store could leave you with dry, damaged hair, or even the embarrassing brassy hair. You can avoid all of this and have healthy, luxurious hair with the home hair dye kits from Della Ricca.
Even better, Della Ricca also takes care of one of the biggest problems and stresses of buying home hair dye – what color to choose. In the past, you looked at the different boxes on the shelf to see which color you think would look good on you. But sadly, this often results in a hair color that looks completely unnatural, and is noticeable for all the wrong reasons. Just like makeup, a good hair dye should look like it has not been dyed at all. Della Ricca helps you with this problem by having you answer a few questions about the rest of you: your skin tone, your hair texture, your hair style, your eye color, and so on. Della Ricca takes these answers and turns them into a carefully-selected custom hair color that is blended especially for you.
If you are interested in learning how to dye your hair at home with the best home hair dye kits available to you, contact Della Ricca today for a consultation.
Nervous about Learning How to Dye Your Hair at Home? Get Help from Della Ricca
[Posted on May 21 by Karen Anne Vinson]

In doing so you'll do more than just save yourself some money. You'll also end up saving yourself a lot of valuable time.
The first thing that you need to do when it comes to using hair dye at home is choose the right product.

Cylax looked at Slate and Syana with a rather confused look. He didn't know assassin's could have hearts but what was he to say on that. He wasn't sure why an assasin would befriend for a sith or why a sith would accept this but one thing he did know was it was surprisingly nice. For a split second, Cylax felt happiness and warmth. For a split second his faith in people was restored. However, he quickly let the moment disappear.
"Well, I think we should head for Cade's ship, Syana, Sir Cylax, he might just leave us behind if we dawdle,"
"I'll make sure Skywalker doesn't leave without us. You and Syana should take your time getting there just incase any of her wounds reopen." he said to Slate giving him a slight nod.
With that he left the room and started making his way to the ship. He turned around a corner and nearly ran into the helmeted jedi from earlier.
"My apologies jedi, I did not see you there. We should make our way to Skywalker's ship before he leaves everyone behind."

Nancy's grandparents traveled to Egypt in 1922, on the same ship as Lord Carnarvon, soon after the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings. They documented their trip with photographs, in the form of 3.25" x 4.25" glass Magic Lantern slides. In 2006 Nancy fulfilled a dream when she visited Egypt, following in her grandparents' footsteps, searching out locations they had photographed and documenting her own trip by posing for photos as they had done in 1922. This book is a gift for Nancy from her husband, John. It contains scans of some of her grandparents' original glass slides plus a selection of photographs from Nancy's trip to Egypt with John, some 84 years later.
Julia Maudlin is a photographer and traveller, most happy when setting out yet again with a bag on her back and a dog-eared Baedeker in her pocket. Since 1998 she has organized and led garden tours to England, Scotland and Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland, France, Italy and South Africa.

This is Texas and tacos are on every corner, or so it seems. So, when I am looking for something unique to eat, I don't generally think of food trucks with "taco" in their name. Big mistake on my part. BIG, BIG mistake and one for which I owe 3 Men and a Taco my deepest apologies.
This truck is unique, in so many ways:
First, it has to be the most colorful truck in DFW, in terms of number of colors on the truck.
Second, the menu is incredible. Their definition of taco and mine are no where near the same. 3 Men's tacos are African influenced, along with the rest of their menu. As flavorful as these were, it is almost a shame to lump them under the generic "taco" label.
I had the Jerk Chicken taco, which was made up of shredded chicken with jerk seasoning, potatoes, quince, pear, and parsnips, dazzled with yogurt sauce and served on a flour tortilla. At the recommendation of the woman taking orders, I added on the lime sauce. The seasonings on the meat were amazing. I don't think I have ever had so many flavors hitting my tongue at the same time before.
Next up was the Doro Watt, an Ethiopian chicken taco made with slow cooked onions, homemade Niter Kebbeh and Berberé.(spice mixtures) Again, amazing flavor with the meat. The Doro Watt was spicy but not burn your mouth spicy but enough to let you know this wasn't any Texas chicken taco. It also left me wishing I had ordered a second one.
My only negative with these tacos is that the flour tortilla left much to be desired in terms of a wrap. I will even go so far as to say the tortilla took away from the taco, like it was an after thought of, "oh, we need something to tone down this amazing meat,we should the blandest thing we can find". The tortillas being cold didn't really help me be convinced that they should be part of the experience.
But cold tortillas aside, I cannot wait to try any of the many unique, African inspired items on 3 Men's menu. It wasn't until after I ordered that I saw they have fried plantains on the menu. I am especially anxious to try those.
You can follow 3 Men on Facebook and Twitter. Be sure to visit them soon and remember, they aren't serving what you would probably define as a "taco" and I for one am glad.

Growing Concerns in China about Inequality, Corruption
While China prepares for a leadership change, the Chinese people believe their country is facing growing challenges, including rising prices, inequality, corruption, and consumer safety. The Chinese public is also increasingly expressing reservations about relations with the U.S.
Chapter 2. China and the World
Overall, the Chinese public holds mixed or negative views of other major countries and international institutions such as the United States, United Nations and European Union. And while a plurality of Chinese describe their country's relationship with India and the U.S., two of its major trading partners, as one of cooperation, that view has become […]
Russians Have Their Own Ideas of Democracy
The Kremlin's demand that the U.S. Agency for International Development cease its activities in Russia follows months of accusations by Vladimir Putin that recent anti-government protests in Russia are the result of meddling by the U.S. and other Western governments. However, many Russians may not be convinced that such meddling is a fact.
Wait, You Still Don't Like Us?
While the image of the United States has improved throughout many parts of the world during Barack Obama's presidency, negative views of America remain stubbornly persistent in key Muslim countries. Much of this animosity is due to continuing concerns about U.S. power and widespread opposition to major elements of American foreign policy.
Muslims Want Democracy
Since the beginning of the Arab Spring, analysts, policymakers, and pundits have debated whether democracy will actually take root in the Middle East. One thing, however, is clear: People in Arab nations want democracy, and they don't just support a vague notion of democracy – they want to live in a country that has specific rights and institutions.
The Missing Piece In Arab Democracy
More than a year after the 2011 uprisings, Arab publics are concerned about the economy, but hopeful about democracy.
Most Muslims Want Democracy, Personal Freedoms, and Islam in Political Life
More than a year after the first stirrings of the Arab Spring, there continues to be a strong desire for democracy in Arab and other predominantly Muslim nations. A substantial number in key Muslim countries also want a large role for Islam in political life. Meanwhile, few think the U.S. favors democracy in the Middle East.
Chapter 1. Public Mood After the Arab Spring
Reviews of the economy are generally negative in the predominantly Muslim countries surveyed. Despite the grim economic situation, however, many in Egypt and Tunisia are optimistic about the future, and majorities in the four Arab nations surveyed are hopeful the 2011 popular uprisings will lead to more democracy in the Middle East.2 Turkey and Saudi […]
Chapter 2. Views of Democracy
Following a politically turbulent year in much of the Arab world, democracy continues to be the preferred form of government in the four Arab nations surveyed, as well as in Turkey and Pakistan. Moreover, there is widespread support for specific democratic rights and institutions, such as multiparty elections and freedom of expression. Still, significant minorities […]
Chapter 2. Attitudes Toward American Culture and Ideas
In countries across the globe, people continue to embrace American popular culture and to admire the U.S. for its science and technology. Attitudes toward American ideas about democracy and ways of doing business are more mixed, but global publics are more positive toward both than in the final years of the Bush administration. This is […]
Egypt on the Eve of Elections: Economy, Democracy Are Both Priorities
On the eve of the first presidential election of the post-Mubarak era, Egyptians remain hopeful about the future of their country, and they strongly desire both an improved economy and the democratic freedoms they were denied under the previous regime.
Russians Back Protests, Political Freedoms
A solid majority of Russians see attending protests as an opportunity to speak out about how the government is run, and more than half specifically approve of the mass demonstrations that followed the December 2011 parliamentary vote, which was marred by fraud allegations. Nonetheless, 72% of Russians voice a favorable opinion of Vladimir Putin.
Chapter 3. Attitudes Toward Democracy
Most Russians continue to express discontent about the way democracy is working in their country. And there is a continued clear lack of confidence in the capacity of democracy to solve the country's problems – nearly six-in-ten say a strong leader is better suited for dealing with the nation's challenges than a democratic government. Moreover, […]
Egyptians Remain Optimistic, Embrace Democracy and Religion in Political Life
A year after the ouster of Hosni Mubarak, a new nationwide survey finds that Egyptians remain upbeat about the course of the nation and prospects for progress. Most Egyptians continue to support democracy, and most also want Islam to play a major role in society.
Chapter 3. Attitudes Toward Democracy
As their country grapples with a difficult political transition, Egyptians continue to believe democracy is the best form of government and most trust it more than a strong leader to solve the nation's problems. Moreover, Egyptians not only value democracy in a general sense – they also value specific features of a democratic society. For […]
Chapter 1. Views of Democracy
Two decades after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, publics in Russia, Ukraine and Lithuania are far less enthusiastic about the political changes in their countries. In Lithuania and Russia, more still approve than disapprove of the switch to a multiparty system, but the level of support trails the level seen in 1991, when solid […]
Confidence in Democracy and Capitalism Wanes in Former Soviet Union
Two decades after the Soviet Union's collapse, Russians, Ukrainians, and Lithuanians are unhappy with the direction of their countries and disillusioned with the state of their politics. Enthusiasm for democracy and capitalism has waned considerably over the past 20 years, and most believe the changes that have taken place since 1991 have had a […]
Chapter 3. Evaluating Societal Change
Across the three former Soviet nations surveyed in 2011, there is a widespread view that ordinary citizens have reaped few rewards from the political and economic changes of the past 20 years. Indeed, clear majorities in Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine agree that average citizens have benefited "not too much" or "not at all." By contrast, […]
Chapter 1. The Rift Between Muslims and the West
Westerners and Muslims generally agree that relations between them are poor. On balance, the Western publics polled tend to say relations are bad, and the same is true among the Muslim publics in the survey, with the exception of Indonesia, where views are divided. However, Westerners are less likely to believe relations are poor today […]
Muslim-Western Tensions Persist
Muslim and Western publics continue to largely agree that relations between them are poor, and disagree about who is at fault – Muslims largely blame Westerners, while those in the West generally blame Muslims. However, in both Western and predominantly Muslim nations, there is a shared concern about the threat posed by Islamic extremism.
Chapter 2. Protests in the Middle East
The popular uprisings in Egypt, Tunisia and other Middle Eastern countries captured the attention of publics both inside and outside the region. Impressive majorities in Arab countries report following news about the political demonstrations. Turks also paid close attention to the uprisings. Indonesians and Pakistanis, however, focused less on the dramatic political changes. Most people […]
Chapter 3. Views of Democracy and the Role of Islam
Support for democracy is widespread in the predominantly Muslim countries surveyed. Majorities or pluralities in the seven nations say democracy is preferable to any other kind of government, and many increasingly believe that a democratic government, rather than a strong leader, can best solve national problems. When asked to choose between a good democracy and […]
Arab Spring Fails to Improve U.S. Image
Support for democracy is high throughout much of the Middle East, but the Arab Spring has not led to an improvement in America's image in the region. Instead, in key Arab nations and in other predominantly Muslim countries, views of the U.S. remain negative. On balance, extremist groups also viewed negatively, although they receive significant levels of support in some countries.
Chapter 3. Country Direction and Priorities for the Future
Egyptians are optimistic about the future of their country. More than twice as many say they are satisfied with the way things are going in Egypt as did so a year ago; and while ratings of economic conditions remain negative, most now say they expect the economy to improve over the next 12 months. When […]
Egyptians Embrace Revolt Leaders, Religious Parties and Military, As Well
Egyptians of all ages, from all walks of life, and parts of the country continue to celebrate the dramatic political changes their nation has undergone. Overwhelmingly, they say it is good that former president Hosni Mubarak is gone. Nearly two-in-three are satisfied with the way things are going in Egypt, and most are optimistic about their country's future.
Will Enthusiasm for Democracy Endure in Egypt and Elsewhere?
Pro-democracy movements in Tunisia and Egypt recall the wave of democratization that took place two decades ago in Eastern Europe. The experience of Eastern Europe is a useful reminder that public enthusiasm for democracy is not guaranteed as political change extends over years and decades.
Egypt, Democracy and Islam
Majorities of Egyptian Muslims believe that democracy is preferable to any other kind of government, and by wide margins, Muslims in Egypt say that Islam plays a positive role in their country's politics.
Muslim Publics Divided on Hamas and Hezbollah
Extremist groups Hamas and Hezbollah continue to receive mixed ratings from Muslim publics. However, opinions of al Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden, are consistently negative; only in Nigeria do Muslims offer views that are, on balance, positive toward al Qaeda and bin Laden.
Czechs' Commitment to Free Markets and Democracy Stays Strong Amidst Troubled Economic and Political Waters
With an election approaching, Czechs are unhappy with conditions in their country and frustrated with the way democracy is working, but are committed to free market economics and democratic values.
Hungary Dissatisfied with Democracy, but Not Its Ideals
With parliamentary elections approaching, Hungarians are dissatisfied with their economy and with the current state of democracy in their country. However, they still value democratic rights and institutions.

King Alexander pushes federal scorecard for colleges Advocate staff report Aug. 25, 2014; 8:22 a.m. Comments LSU President F. King Alexander continues to draw attention for his support of a proposed federal scorecard that would reward colleges and universities for providing better value to students. Bloomberg News describes Alexander as one of the most vocal proponents of President Barack Obama's proposal, which would rank based schools on tuition, student debt, graduation rates and the percentage of low-income students enrolled. Alexander and other supporters say the scorecard would mean more student-aid dollars would go to public schools and universities and away from lower-performing for-profit institutions. "Student aid won't be around in 10 years if we don't do something to distinguish the good guys from bad guys," Alexander told Bloomberg. Alexander has spoken out in favor of the proposal at national conferenced and has also met with legislators in Washington, D.C., since the proposal's announcement a year ago. In an Aug. 25, 2013, story in The Advocate, Alexander said the U.S. needs to make schools demonstrate their value. "If we do that, "LSU is going to come out on top. We're well below the average on student indebtedness, we're well below the average on tuition and student loan default," Alexander said. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Teacher Training
The year 2001 saw the start of a co-operation between the Partial Agreement Division in the Social and Public Health Field, Directorate General III – Social Cohesion, and the Programme for the In-service training of Educational Staff Directorate General IV : Education, Culture and Heritage, Youth and Sport, concerning the training of teachers for children with special educational needs.
The European Seminar "Children with disabilities: the role of the school in social education and preparation for an independent life" took place at the Staatliche Akademie für Lehrerfortbildung ("State Academy for Teacher Training") in Donaueschingen from 15-17 October 2001.
The seminar was attended by some 40 educational staff from Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia,Germany, Greece, Hungary and Poland, many of them school headmasters. The working language was German. The trainers came from Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
The European Seminar "Teaching without exclusion" ("Unterrichten ohne auszugrenzen") took place at the same Academy from 18-22 November 2002. It was attended by 45 teachers, headmasters, school inspectors and other educational staff from 15 European countries. The working language was German. Teacher trainers came from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Hungary.
The seminar addressed the situation of pupils who are excluded or susceptible to exclusion due to cultural barriers, social disadvantages, or disability, in particular street children, young offenders, Roma/Gypsy children, and children with disabilities.
The overall aim was to provide teachers with practical tools and readily applicable instruments for use in their daily work, in order to enable them to (re)integrate children living in marginal situations into mainstream society.
Further details on the Council of Europe DG IV teacher training programme are available on the web site:
The complete seminar material of the European Seminar is available at the web site of the Donaueschingen Academy:

At Marty's Musings, Marty had a kitchen backsplash that had seen better days and no longer suited her kitchen decor. Outside, she had a pile of wood salvaged from a neighbors old fence. Marty and her husband figured out a way to transform both.
And here's where things get amazing: the resourceful pair covered up the unsightly backsplash with the weathered wood boards. The color variations in the old wood are perfect for tying together the colors of the existing countertops and cabinets in Marty's kitchen. It's an unbelievably cool makeover that cost next to nothing!
You can find out how to achieve a similar look for your kitchen at Marty's Musings.

The 1970s were a time when you were either rocking out to bands like KISS or dancing to disco and Soul Train. Every decade is remembered by its music and fashion, and that's why our 70s wigs are key to looking like you're living in this time. From Afros to feathered hair, we have it all right here! Afros were popular among African Americans during the late 60s into the 70s. This hairdo can be achieved by teasing out Afro-textured or curly hair into a large round shape. It became popular after the Civil Rights Movement when people wanted to honor their African roots and rebel against the pressure to wear hairstyles the way that Caucasians did. That makes them a signature 70s look!
Whether you were a man or a woman during the 70s, a totally rad haircut to have was the shag. This short, unevenly layered hairdo was worn by everyone from the glamorous Jane Fonda to the rebellious rock star Mick Jagger. If you were dancing to Gloria Gaynor and Donna Summer's music in the discos, then you typically would've had a feathered hairstyle. Charlie's Angels actress Farrah Fawcett possibly had the most popular feathered hair of all time. Men and women alike would mimic this style by brushing their hair upwards so that a feathery effect would frame either side of their face.

Dine With Shamu is a MUST When Traveling to Orlando
September 24, 2012 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Featured, Jen's Journal, Orlando
This past Saturday my family and I got the opportunity to try out something new. Now for anyone that knows us knows that we have pretty much raised our two oldest kids at SeaWorld, my husband and I used to go to SeaWorld when we were dating and we always had so much fun, so we have pretty much done everything there is to do in the park. Dine With Shamu however is something that we have never done before and we were all excited to be there. We checked in at the front and were taken to our seats which were right along the glass wall. We were then welcomed very warmly by our server whose name just happened to be Jennifer We placed our drink orders and went to get our food. I loved that it was set up buffet style, there were so many delicious looking items to choose from.
My youngest daughter wanted some of everything and boy did she dig in when we got back to the table. One of the managers came over and talked to her about her liking her chicken, and he did something that always pleases me when I see it. He got down on her level to talk to her, which always makes my daughter feel special and make me happy to see that someone will go out of there way to acknowledge that she is there. I too got a little bit of everything, and even went back for chocolate cake, everything was very good!
The trainers came over with the whales and the show began. From where I was sitting I got some really great pictures of the whales with their trainers and them flipping through the air and all sorts of fun stuff.
The pictures below are my favorites of the day and I was so surprised that they came out this good, as they were taken with my phone. Being this up close and personal with the whales made my daughters smile and they were both excited to see them in the water so close to us. The wonderment when my five year old saw the whales jump out of the water was priceless. And watching the show made my older daughter interested in what it is like to be a trainer.
One of the funny things that I snapped a picture of was a bird stealing a fish out of the food container for the whales. I think he got three or four in total before they came back to close the lid. Dine With Shamu was so much fun and I will be doing it again and I HIGHLY recommend that if you are headed to Orlando and SeaWorld that you make reservations for this dinner, you will love it! I do want to give a special shout out to the staff, especially our server Jennifer who was the friendliest person and really made our time there fun!
My daughter after her fun day at SeaWorld!

Jillian Michaels is looking fabulous for almost 40. The trainer for the show "The Biggest Loser" doesn't mind showing off her figure and she is happy to give people advice for training to be physically solid. Yet, even the famous personal trainers have problem areas they want to transform. On Monday during the "Wendy Williams Show," the entertainer shared that she wants her butt to be transformed this year into a tight bottom.
"I have never fully loved it. It fits into clothes nicely," said Jillian Michaels on the Wendy Williams Show. "For 40, I really want to give myself the best butt I can possibly have." The star was quick to point out that she does look good in a pair of jeans, but she still feels she needs to work on the area for her own satisfaction.
Don't expect Michaels to be buying butt enhancements though. The entertainer plans on making it happen with hard work, dedication and lots of lunges. The star was quick to point out that she hasn't seen any fake butts that made her excited, so 2014 is the year she is going to make it happen naturally.
Take a look at the video clip of Jillian Michaels showing off her butt to the audience. Does she need to work on her backside? From first impression the viewers don't think so!
