Mini Explorers on an Adventure
2012-06-05 13:00:00
I normally wait until the end of the week for my blog post but so much happened over the long weekend that I thought it best to fill you in now. As I mentioned on Friday our Sales & Marketing team were out in Dublin Zoo and Fota Wildlife Park at the weekend promoting our Mini Explorers family breaks for the Summer. Although the weather was a bit temperamental over the weekend there was still a great turn out at both attractions and our Mini Explorers team were kept busy all weekend. Along with the goodies on the day, there were also competitions for family breaks in Carlton Hotels. The winners have yet to be announced so if you've entered, best of luck you could still be in with a chance!
We got great feedback from the parents on our children's club because we focus on healthy eating and outdoor activities. From what I've heard there was a lot of interest in our Mini Explorer's Break which includes a family activity so I'm sure there will be plenty of those packages booked over the next few days. All in all the weekend was a great success and it really helped gain awareness of our Mini Explorers Club and what we offer for families in our hotels.
Also at the weekend there were a few celebrities staying in the Carlton Millrace Hotel over the weekend. The world famous rock band Status Quo were in the hotel on Friday night as they were playing in a festival in Enniscorthy, I'm sure there were a few fans in the hotel bar that night. Also on Friday the hotel accommodated celebrity gardener Dermot O'Neill who travelled to the hotel with a gardening group.
I'll be back with my usual weekly post on Friday, until then hope you all enjoy the short week!

Described in the Rough Guide as "Original, hands-on and ethical", we bring together travelers and country in a way that is beneficial to both. Through our tours you will have the opportunity to spend time with local people and absorb yourself in their cultures, while providing support for local projects, including wildlife and conservation. The company is run by Kumar, a British-based Indian/Sri Lankan. Kumar spent his childhood working on the family homestead. A love of agriculture led him to study his B.Sc. in agriculture in India and his Masters degree in Sustainable Agriculture, took him to England. It is Kumars passion for community-based development led him to set up the company. All our tours are tailor-made and all guides and drivers are local to the country.
Rough Guide to India described our tours as The most original, hands-on and ethical itineraries on the market - were proud of this and like to think that the quote sums up our ethos neatly. When you take a tour with us, around 70% of your money stays in India - supporting the social/environmental work of our partners and the projects they support.
We feel particularly strong that guides should be local, giving you the opportunity to spend time with people local to the country, supporting their livelihoods and assimilating the local culture. All tour partners, tour guides and hosts involved in the South India Food Tour come from the host country. In most cases, your guide is from the specific village in which you are staying (usually the owners, or an employee of the owner). This may mean that your host has imperfect English but we like to think that the benefits are worthwhile.
Most of the food in this tour is cooked specifically by your hosts and is grown locally, thereby benefiting the local community. Home stays create local employment to work on the farm and to help in manage the home stays. An example is Spice Plantation homestay, based on a farm and forest gardens using traditional organic farming methods. Plants and spices grown on the farm supply the vegetarian cuisine prepared for the homestay - coconut, pineapple, bananas, different types of yam, tapioca, spices such as pepper, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla and other tropical fruit trees and medicinal herbs.
In terms of transport - youll see from the itinerary that were keen to cut the driving and encourage guests to stay several days in any one place with a local guide (rather than continuously driving from one place to another), guests will participate in lifestyles that are themselves sustainable - you'll eat locally produced food, use local transport, cook dinner with your host, and visit local environmental projects.
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.

A big part of planning
for retirement is getting a handle on medical
expenses. And a major part of that is knowing
what Medicare can or cannot do for you --
physically and financially.
You'll automatically be enrolled
in Medicare if you already collect Social
Security or receive benefits from the Railroad
Retirement Board when you turn 65, or if you've
been collecting disability for more than two
years. If you're working and not collecting
government pension benefits, you need to sign
up three months before your 65th birthday.
First of all, understand clearly
that Medicare is not free health care. You'll
have to pay deductibles and co-payments out-of-pocket,
and certain services aren't covered at all.
What you'll ultimately pay will
depend on the type of Medicare plan you choose:
whether you'll have additional health insurance
coverage from a former employer; whether you
purchase so-called "supplemental coverage";
and how often you make use of the medical
services your doctor or hospital offer.
Medicare summary
Listing here everything that Medicare covers
and doesn't cover would take volumes. But
following is a brief overview to provide a
basic understanding. For more details, visit
the Medicare
Web site and download the 'Medicare
& You 2008' handbook
The original plan: Parts A & B
The original plan helps pay for many medical
services and supplies provided in hospitals,
doctors' offices and other health care settings.
Part A focuses on hospital insurance, while
Part B is the program's medical insurance
component. All U.S. citizens and legal residents
of the United States who have paid Medicare
payroll taxes for 10 years or more are eligible
for both Part A and Part B coverage upon reaching
age 65.
Part A helps with the cost of
inpatient care in hospitals (including inpatient
rehabilitation facilities), inpatient stays
in a skilled nursing facility (but not custodial
or long-term care), inpatient mental health
care in a psychiatric hospital (limited to
190 days in a lifetime), as well as hospice
care services and home health care services.
Medicare Part A will completely cover some
of the costs associated with these services
and procedures. Others will require out-of-pocket
co-payments or the satisfaction of annual

Officers discover three tethered dogs; man charged
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 1:52 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 1:52 p.m.
A Lexington man was arrested Tuesday on four animal-related charges.
Ronald Lee Harvell, 52, of 1148 Brown St., Lot 3, was charged with felony cruelty to animals, felony animal abuse, failure to confine an animal within the proper limits and abandonment of an animal.
Capt. William Scarboro of the Lexington Police Department said officers received a call from a concerned citizen about the animals. When they arrived on the scene, they found three dogs tethered to a tree. The animals were infested with fleas and ticks, and one animal was emaciated to the point of near death.
Scarboro said Harvell had been staying with a relative and coming back occasionally to feed and water the animals. The dogs were turned over to the Lexington Police Department and are being kept at the Ginger's Fund of Davidson County.
Harvell was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $10,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 15.

By Melissa O'Neil Perdue, WSU Tri-Cities
Ground was broken at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2011, to start construction of the EnergySolutions Engineering Laboratory, a $3 million building being donated to Washington State University Tri-Cities.
The public was invited to the outdoor ceremony, held at the construction site off George Washington Way across from the WSU Tri-Cities campus.
EnergySolutions will be constructing the 13,000-square-foot laboratory on 7 acres of land owned by WSU — and then donating the building to WSU Tri-Cities. This long-term partnership between EnergySolutions, NuVision Engineering, and WSU Tri-Cities will include collaborative research, engineering scholarships, and internships.
The building is 10,000 square feet of laboratory space and 3,000 square feet of office space. Construction is to begin in October by Fowler Construction of Richland and is expected to be complete by summer 2012. EnergySolutions will lease it back for 18 months for $10, and then will have the option to extend the lease for one year at fair market value. The site is part of the Tri-Cities Research District.
EnergySolutions Federal EPC of Richland recently was awarded a subcontract from Bechtel National to conduct large-scale testing of the Hanford vitrification plant's waste-mixing system. The building features a high bay that can accommodate large tanks. The testing will use non-radioactive waste simulants.
Dignitaries at the groundbreaking included Alan Parker, EnergySolutions president of the government group; WSU Tri-Cities Chancellor Vicky Carwein, and representatives from Bechtel, the U.S. Department of Energy, NuVision Engineering, DesignWest, the Port of Benton, and the City of Richland.

EnergySolutions to build, donate, then lease $3 million laboratory to WSU Tri-Cities
by Melissa O'Neil Perdue, WSU Tri-Cities
EnergySolutions will be constructing a $3 million, 13,000-square-foot laboratory on 7 acres of land in Richland that is owned by Washington State University — and then donating the building to WSU Tri-Cities.
The building is 10,000 square feet of laboratory space and 3,000 square feet of office space. Construction is to begin in October — built by Fowler Construction of Richland to WSU requirements — and expected to be complete by summer 2012. The site is across George Washington Way from the WSU Tri-Cities campus and is part of the Tri-Cities Research District. EnergySolutions will lease it back for 18 months for $10, then will have the option to extend the lease for one year at fair market value.

The building features a high-bay that can accommodate large tanks. The testing will use non-radioactive waste simulants
"This is a large-scale testing a facility for large-scale equipment," EnergySolutions CEO Val Christensen of Salt Lake City announced last week in Richland.
"A lot of the expertise we have to deal with such challenges around the world comes from here," he said. "We expect this partnership will create value for our customer, a long-term asset for the University, and a platform for University professors and students to experience a real-life STEM learning environment."
"We have a successful track record of building partnerships with universities and public-private businesses in creative commercial ventures," Christensen said. "In this instance, we also have a minority partner with this gift to Washington State University — a long-time partner of ours, NuVision Engineering."
Donating the laboratory building was inspired by Tom Yount, EnergySolutions executive vice president of Richland operations and a WSU Pullman graduate in construction management.
WSU President Elson S. Floyd said he appreciates the opportunity for faculty and students to gain hands-on science, technology, engineering, and mathematical experiences with private industry. "We need creative solutions to confront the global workplace," Floyd said. "This will benefit the region and impact the nation and, if we do it properly, it will have global influence."
WSU Regent Scott Carson, a retired Boeing executive and a passionate proponent of sustainable energy and biofuels, lauded the unique collaboration resulting in what's been named the Energy Solutions Engineering Laboratory.
"I look at WSU Tri-Cities and see a critical link to the economy of the world, with some of the greatest minds and greatest opportunities," Carson said. "The WSU Tri-Cities campus holds a special place inside the WSU system. It's unique because of its location. It's at the heart of one of the intellectual centers in the world. We need to excite young people about the opportunities the future holds for them, so we don't miss a single mind, a single intellect, who could change the world."

GeeWhiz®IMD here
As presented on Moving America Forward:
No More Adult Diapers!™
GeeWhiz video explanation below, click on arrow to play instantly
The Gee Whiz catheter is an ideal catheter for men who have male urinary incontinence. It eliminates the need for adult diapers and the regular condom catheter which has a high failure rate.
Male Incontinence products for men are used for collection of urine, and include such products as condom catheters, external condom catheter, as well as collection pads. The GeeWhiz catheters for men provides security for men to regain activities for daily living without embarrassment.
The condom catheters for men are considered an external urinary catheter and the GeeWhiz catheter provides many advantages over the regular condom catheter. The male condom catheter such as the GeeWhiz catheter for men comes in 3 sizes. The condom catheter sizes are easily measured with a sizing chart which can be down loaded from our site.
The condom catheter sizes when measured correctly will assure that the GeeWhiz catheter will fit properly and stay on without falling off or leaking. Urinary incontinence in men can be controlled with the GeeWhiz since the urine is collected in an air tight collection bag which will conceal any urine odor.
There are many men's incontinence products, and the GeeWhiz will provide many advantages over other incontinence products for men, which include the patented silicone gel seal, and the quick connect disconnect connector. There are many male urinary incontinence products for men, and the GeeWhiz has solved many of the reported problems with the regular condom catheters.
Male urinary incontinence products are designed to give the man the confidence that there will be no embarrassment when in public. The GeeWhiz catheter for men is just the answer. It is one of the few men's incontinence products that is also covered by Medicare and most insurance plans.

As a general rule, there are very few workers who believe that they are over-paid. Asking for a pay rise is a tricky issue that requires tact and thought.
Bide your time and keep an eye on your boss. Never ask during busy or stressful times, before a holiday, after a failed project or after any redundancies.
Even with open-plan offices, always book a meeting. You can then be assured some face-to-face time and privacy.
Think about your achievements and goals. Why do you deserve more money?
Research the market and see what you could earn in a similar position at other companies, but never threaten to leave as it may backfire on you.
Give persuasive reasoning as to why a raise is deserved and ensure you give the impression of have plenty of career satisfaction.

The Big Timber Evangelical Church traces its beginning back to 1925 when a small group of Christians began to pray about founding a church to better minister to the community. By 1929 this group had purchased a small piece of property on the corner of 3rd and Bramble Street and began laying the foundation for a facility to house the church. Initially, the church family met in the basement until enough money was saved to complete the main floor sanctuary.
Over nearly 90 years the church has had an ongoing ministry in the community which came as a result of great sacrifice on the part of those early church founders. This church has always held as its core values a strong Biblical focus, prayer, a deep love for each other, and ongoing ministry in its community and world.
Today, these core values can still be seen in the church family. What began with a handful of people stepping out in faith is now a church family of nearly 200 individuals gathering together for worship and spiritual growth each Sunday morning.
Our prayer is that we will honor God in what we do and say, and that we will faithfully serve Him by serving others through caring ministry and a powerful life witness.

Alex Gibney (Enron:The Smartest Guys in the Room, Casino Jack and the United States of Money) delivers a visually arresting look at the crumbling facade of Sumo wrestling and exposes searing and violent truths about this ancient and revered sport. Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) offers up a buoyant and revealing angle on the repercussions of baby names. Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp) balance levity and candor with their eye-opening profile of underachieving kids incentivized to learn with cold hard cash. Finally, Eugene Jarecki, who brought us the unforgettably powerful Why We Fight, investigates an unsettling theory to explain why crime rates dramatically dropped in the early 90s. Seth Gordon (The King of Kong) weaves the pieces together with brisk interludes, providing context and commentary from the authors. Freakonomics exposes the hidden side of everything, debunking conventional wisdom, and revealing what answers may come if one just asks the right questions.

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Topic: Invasive Plants, Managing Roadsides, Non-Natives
Title: Mowing wildflower concerns from Lockhart TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I went to the Texas Highway Department (Texas Department of Transportation) web site and sent them a concern or complaint about them or independent contractors shredding the roadsides before the bluebonnets and other wild flowers have �gone to seed�. They have been doing this for a number of years�.I finally got around to trying to do something about it! I pointed out that this is obviously the case because now all that we see in many, many, many places are small strips of bluebonnets where they were missed or places where they couldn�t shred. At the same time we will see bluebonnets across the fence lines, more proof that they are causing the wildflower decline. When I look around in our general area (Central Texas) there are very few wildflowers where they had been abundant before they started this illogical practice. Maybe if more folks would elevate this as a concern, they would change the practice! I also asked whether they had plans for re-seeding the wildflowers. I'd like a good email address so that we can set up lines of communication whereby I can forward their response as well as mine to them. I tried wildflowers.org but it doesn't work. This is the only way I could communicate with your organization. Thanks!
We appreciate your concern, but the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, home of Mr. Smarty Plants, focuses on the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the areas in which they grow naturally. Please read this related recent Mr. Smarty Plants answer. TxDOT (Texas Department of Transportation) is the responsible party concerned with these matters. We cannot function as a go-between or a forum in this discussion. You will note that some of the people we hear from are opposed (as you seem to be) to the mowing and others, perhaps because of the infection of non-native invasive Bastard Cabbage, want much more mowing. It would appear that interceding on this matter is unwelcome, out of our jurisdiction and none of our business.
We are, however, constantly interested in the control of invasives like Bastard Cabbage. Please read our Invasives webpage for some of the ongoing effort. Please also read this website from Texas Invasives.org, in which we are an active partner, for more facets of the effort. And see this film clip from KXAN news, which includes the advice to get a shovel that is sturdier than the root of the invasive.
However, insofar as interceding on this matter, or trying to get a dialog going with TxDot, this is not something Mr. Smarty Plants can do. We do understand and share your concern.

Product Description
Your quality of sleep is central to your quality of life. Zeo is designed to help you analyze your sleep and improve it, so you can be your best every day. Zeo tells you how you really sleep, and helps you find ways to improve your sleep. It's composed of a lightweight wireless headband, a bedside display, a set of analytical online tools, and an email-based personalized coaching program.
The Zeo Bedside Display puts last night's sleep data at your fingertips and will store up to two weeks of data for easy viewing.
Sleep With Zeo
Step 1: Wear the Zeo Headband
You begin by wearing the Zeo Headband each night. The headband uses our patent-pending SoftWave sensor technology to accurately and safely measure your unique sleep patterns through the electrical signals naturally produced by the brain. As you pass through different levels of sleep--lighter to deeper and back again--the Zeo Headband tracks how you are sleeping.
Step 2: Review Your Sleep Data on the Bedside Display
The Zeo Bedside Display puts last night's sleep data at your fingertips and will store up to two weeks of data for easy viewing. When you wake up, it gives you a personal sleep score - your ZQ - and shows a graph of your Light, Deep and REM sleep over the course of the night. The bedside display will also present you with information about last night's sleep and how it compares to previous nights. The optional SmartWake alarm feature will look for a "natural awakening point" based on your sleep patterns to decrease the grogginess associated with waking from Deep sleep. When SmartWake is selected, Zeo will find a time to wake you within a half-hour of your set time, never later. The result should be a slightly easier way to wake up
The Zeo Headband accurately and safely measured your unique sleep patterns.
Easily upload all of your sleep information to the myZeo Personal Coaching website, and begin to spot trends in your sleep that you have never been able to see before.
Using Zeo's online tools, you can begin to understand how your ZQ and morning feel scores change from night to night.
See Sleep Data
Step 3: Upload and View Your Sleep Data
Your personal sleep discovery doesn't stop with the bedside display! The Zeo Bedside Display allows you to store your sleep information on an SD memory card (like the memory cards used with digital cameras). With your SD card and its USB adapter, you can easily upload all of your sleep information to the myZeo Personal Coaching website, and begin to spot trends in your sleep that you have never been able to see before.
Sleep Journal
Uncover the links between how you live--including exercise, diet, stress, and environment--and how you sleep. Available both online and on paper, your Zeo Sleep Journal allows you to record lifestyle, environmental, and consumption factors that can disrupt your sleep. You'll learn about the 7 Sleep Stealers and how much they can affect your sleep data each night. You can also define your own lifestyle factors to record. The more sleep stealers you track, the more insights you'll find about how your actions may be affecting your Sleep Fitness.
Sleep Tools
Using Zeo's online tools, you can begin to understand how your ZQ and morning feel scores change from night to night. You'll also spot any connections between your daily lifestyle choices and your nightly sleep and find out for yourself some of the cause and effect patterns in your sleep.
A sleep graph shows how much time you spent in Deep sleep, in Light sleep, in REM sleep, and awake.
The Cause & Effect Tool helps you explore how your lifestyle may be affecting your sleep quality.
Sleep Fitness Assessments help you track your progress in each step.
Personal Coach
Step 4: Start Your 7 Step Sleep Fitness Program, Your Personal Guide to a Better Night's Sleep
The 7 Step Sleep Fitness Program is a guided self-discovery process for your sleep. This personalized sleep coaching program asks you to set goals for your sleep and then provides you with customized strategies to help you to achieve these goals. In addition, you can learn more about the latest sleep research, and receive recommendations on how to track the items that are most beneficial for you. Through this program, you'll experience the power of seeing your own sleep data and learn about which factors may be affecting your sleep. You will have full control over the program to skip, repeat or start-over any step you wish. Special features of the program include:
* A series of personalized e-mails that incorporate effective sleep tips and advice, customized to your sleep data, lifestyle and goals.
* A customized action plan to deal with each of the 7 Sleep Stealers as they relate to you and your sleep.
* Goal-oriented assignments that are realistic and achievable, and will not require you to drastically rearrange your lifestyle or even your sleep style.
* Positive, supportive, and easy to understand suggestions and exercises, in everyday language that is easy to follow.
* The Zeo Sleep Information Center is an online library for sleep information and science. In addition to offering another kind of self-guided, personal coaching tool, you can use the Sleep Information Center to discover what sleep is, and why it's important.
Zeo Reveals How You Really Sleep.
Without Zeo, sleep is a mystery.
Are you getting the restorative Deep and REM sleep you need to be your best? How long does it really take you to fall asleep? It's practically impossible to accurately gauge your sleep quality and pinpoint which factors affect it. Everyone's sleep is different, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution for getting a better night's rest.
Zeo scores your sleep quantity and quality.
Imagine knowing both the quality of your sleep and the reasons behind it. Every morning, Zeo will tell you your ZQ--a number that summarizes your sleep's quantity and quality--and lots of other information about your sleep. If you can measure it, you can improve it.
For the first time, you can visualize your sleep.
Using Zeo's included web-based tools, you can easily see exactly how--or whether--you slept through the night.
Zeo Helps You Improve Your Sleep.
See what's stealing your sleep.
Zeo Personal Sleep Coach will help you understand and minimize the factors that negatively affect sleep, so you can take control of your nights. You can use the visual web-based tools to see trends and cause-and-effect patterns.
Get personalized sleep coaching.
Sign up for the 7 Step Sleep Fitness Program to receive recommendations and actions plans tailored to you and your sleep. Zeo will help you get the most from your sleep so you can be your best.

I seem to remember posting links to YouTube videos and having Facebook show it as an embedded video. Recently, when I tried the same, it displayed the link without embedding the video. Is there a way to have Facebook display YouTube videos as embedded videos?
You must be doing something wrong, here's the right way to share YouTube videos on Facebook wall, go to that video page on YouTube that you want to share, then click on Share button, you'll see a Facebook icon there, click on that icon, a small pop up window will open, Facebook will ask your login details, if you are already logged in Facebook then you'll see your video embedded in a post, just give a title to your post and then you'll see your video posted on your wall rather than links :)

Solar panel manufacturer Siliken Manufacturing USA Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Siliken USA Inc., based in Carlsbad, filed concurrent petitions Tuesday for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the companies have announced.
The petitions were filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California. The Siliken Companies are represented by Cooley LLP.
The companies released a joint statement, noting a still-weak U.S. economy, a lack of outside investment sources and downward price pressures for solar energy products as primary reasons for the filing.
"It has become increasingly clear that the Siliken Companies will not have the capital resources they need to move forward with their business strategy," said Scott Sporrer, vice president and general manager of Siliken USA.
The companies began looking at restructuring options in October 2012, engaging Richard Kipperman of Corporate Management Inc. as chief restructuring officer.
Kipperman said in a release that utilizing the protections of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code will best serve the interests of the Siliken Companies' creditors and other constituencies, and ensure that assets of the Siliken Companies' estates are maximized. The companies had already employed cost-reduction measures through 2012, including the elimination of the balance of their work forces, the release said.
They will now seek to monetize the remaining inventory and equipment during the Chapter 11 proceedings, and to equitably distribute the proceeds.
Siliken Manufacturing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Siliken S.A., Valencia, Spain, which has itself sought relief from creditors and is pursuing restructuring alternatives under the laws of Spain.

Looking Good in Glasses
Dear Readers,
This month we're going to tackle eyewear and overstuffed closets that make every morning into a fashion crisis. Learn how you can zero in on your own personal style and lay the foundation for real wardrobe development.
Please keep your wonderful questions coming to me at email@example.com.
Best regards,Annie
Annie Brumbaugh, AICI, CIPwww.abwardrobeworks.com
Q. I am a woman of 54 who must wear glasses. My daughter is getting married this fall, and facial recognition and response would definitely improve the event. I check the society pages, and is it me, or do I hardly ever see women wearing eyeglasses at formal events? How does one look fashionable with glasses? Is it possible to create a signature look with glasses? How can one create an eyeglass wardrobe? I never seem to be happy with my glasses. I did try contacts but they wouldn't go in or wouldn't stay in, and I need bifocals (though I do wear the invisible type). — Lydia
A. Dorothy Parker made the famous remark, "Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses." There is more rhyme than reason in this. The challenge is to take a perceived liability and turn it into an asset. You yourself came up with the strategy: create a signature look with your specs. If you wear glasses all the time and your prescription is stable, it is great to develop a wardrobe of different options.
You may have noticed that Diane Keaton is wearing glasses on the cover of the February issue of MORE. These glasses are very simple and have a saddle bridge (no nose pads). They are classic, even old fashioned, but modern at the same time. Something minimal like this frame from Lunor would be a great choice for your daughter's wedding. It is just barely there, but when you focus on it, it is beautiful. The sleek Silhouette rimless frames would work too. They may seem delicate, but I have road-tested them and have been amazed at their durability. There are metals in various colors and finishes available in both types. Pay close attention to the lens shape. Rimless frames can take a variety of lens shapes, so there is no need to limit yourself to the choice in the sample.
Above all else, try on lots of glasses! Like clothes, eyeglasses need to fit. It is important to get the width of the bridge (the part that goes over the nose) and the length of the temple (sidepiece) right. Make sure that the frames sit comfortably at the bridge and that your eyes are centered in the lenses. For bifocals (preferably the progressive type that you wear), you need enough depth in the frames. Antireflective coating is a must for all your glasses. This eliminates glare, and that is crucial when you are being photographed.
For an eyeglass wardrobe, I suggest one minimal option and something graphic and more dramatic, maybe in a great color. Work to enhance your coloring (eyes, skin, and hair), and in turn, that should complement your wardrobe. A smashing pair of prescription sunglasses is a plus too. Fashion is moving in the direction of larger frames, but remember to stay in scale with your face and stature. Another option is transition lenses, which get darker as you move into the light.
Diane Keaton has made the Lunor frames her signature look. I go for a more varied approach, but my eyeglasses are always an important part of my look. For the wedding, I recommend something minimal. Enjoy! You will look beautiful and stylish in glasses.
Editing a Wardrobe
Q. I feel as though I have been in a fashion crisis all my life. Even though I have been told I was "attractive" or that I "have the cutest clothes," every day when I go to my closet to get dressed, I feel like I'm looking through the wardrobe of 10 different women that I don't know! So while I may emerge looking good, it's a struggle every day. Any thoughts? — Cyndie
A. You have an unruly bunch of clothes, and what you need is a wardrobe. Right now you can't see the forest for the trees. You probably have too much stuff. Don't worry, you are not alone.
The contents of your closet are not an accident; they are a history lesson. Our goal is to edit what you have. Then we can plan what you need.
The first step is to systematically assess yourself and your current holdings. I want you to take a day to focus on this. Send everyone away, even the cat. (Cats love to nest in piles of clothes.) Make sure you have adequate light and a full-length mirror. Check your issues at the door, and really look at yourself with new, kind eyes. Remember your younger self and all the styles and trials you've been through. Who are those women whose clothes are in you closet? Ask yourself, Who am I now, where am I going, how do I want to look?
Go through your wardrobe piece by piece, trying on most things. This may sound painstaking, but trust me, it will be worth the effort. I recommend approaching this by category: jackets, pants, skirts, blouses and shirts, shoes, bags, scarves, belts, and jewelry. Create areas for keepers, recycling, cleaning, and alterations.
Start with the things you like, and try to figure out what makes them a success. Is it the cut, the color, the fabric, the styling, the fit? Work your way through to those orphans in the back of the closet. In order to be a keeper, a piece must fit, look good and current, feel comfortable, and tell your story of today. It must also have friends (things that go with it).
It's off to the giveaway pile for anything that doesn't fit. (No, you're not going to be a size 6 again, and if you were, you wouldn't want to wear this.) Likewise if it is out of date. (No, shoulder pads of the '80s are not coming back.) Sometimes exceptions can be made for real couture clothes or collector's items like the dress you wore to your second wedding. These things go in "archives," housed separately from your current wardrobe. Get rid of anything worn or spotted. "I'm tired of it" and/or "I just don't feel good in it," are perfectly legitimate grounds for dismissal.
And then there are the items with the price tags still attached. These are the heartbreakers. Be assured that everyone has some. They may have been bought on sale, but they did add up! And you feel bad every time to look at them. Assess how and why you bought each thing and why it was a mistake. Now let it go.
Recycle! Let's give your rejects a chance to see the light of day in someone else's life. Sometimes you can offer specific pieces to people you know; i.e., the sweater that is too small for you but would look perfect on your friend. Do this only in a very targeted way. Everything else, give to a local charity. The sooner the better.
Now that you've routed the underbrush, arrange your clothes by category and color. Separate out obvious fall/winter and spring/summer things. Now you can better see what you have and what you need. Relationships between pieces will become apparent, and you'll be able to make outfits you never dreamed of just from what you have in your closet! You will feel like a new woman when everything in your closet is wearable and visible and you know how to work with it.
For help answering your toughest clothing-related questions, e-mail Annie at firstname.lastname@example.com and your question might be featured in an upcoming column.

The Barclay School held the City's first STEM Recongition Event. Take a closer look!
Dear Barclay Elementary School Friends & Family:
Welcome back to another
great year at Barclay EMS! We are extremely excited about all the places we
will go this year! As you know our school is getting a major renovation, that
will spring us forward with achieving our vision of developing the whole child
through our STEAM focused instruction. This year every student at Barclay
will be provided highly engaging STEM lessons! Our middle school grades will be
implementing the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) curriculum, preparing them to be the
engineers of the future.
As we continue to make strides academically, we still need your support with increasing student attendance by ensuring your student is in school every day, on time and prepared for learning. Their attendance and your involvement are vital to their success. We will also be seeking parent volunteers as we implement Project Lift this year. More information will be highlighted in the September newsletter.
I am looking forward to our continued collaborations and communication because here in the "Barclay Village, It Takes us All!"

A nice little house in a charming village. A few negative things to mention: Not enough kops and plates for 4 persons, nearly no toilet-paper on arrival and we never suceeded in making the TV work. Since none of us are spanish speaking it would have been nice with some written information in the house.
...but nvertheless: We enjoyed our stay on the wonderful Island, away from the main tourist spots.
Alojamiento 100% recomendable. En muy buenas condiciones, instalaciones inmejorables y una atención excelente por parte del propietario. Relación calidad-precio muy buena. Repetiríamos sin dudar!
Accommodation 100% advisable. Thanks very much to our host for such a wonderful stay. We loved the quality of the rooms and all the spaces in the house. Markt Josef was very kind and warm since our arrival. We really felt confortable and happy with our choice. We definitely recommend your accommodation to others.
Great stay in a very pleasant apartment.
This place is a ripoff please be careful before clinking book on there are massive terrible extra charges and these interhome people are the wrosre people in the entire world fuck them
Nice, little cosy house! The only downside was, that it was hard to find and the second bedroom is separated on the ground floor (description/pictures didn´t match). Also there were a couple of additional costs, that weren`t mentioned in the description. We loved the view and the typical small italian village! The communication with the host was great and he was super helpful.
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)
Perfect camping, very clean, modern houses! Improvement suggestion is the outdated wifi useage. Helpfull people, clean toilet buildings. Would like to come back when the wifi is multi useable. Good french fries / chips available.
Clean and comfortable. Friendly hostess. Handy for the Circumvesuviana train station for Napoli, Sorrento and Vesuvius sites. Friendly little neighbourhood shop very handy. Our apartment did not have balcony as claimed - others in the complex did. Some noise from neighbouring flat. Very much enjoyed our stay.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

That's what we're here for: we want to win your case. You don't want to stand next to you, like many lawyers do, and allow you to plead guilty without even investigating the case and determining whether or not you have a defense.
What we want to do is get all of the information we need from you through the questionnaire, through our investigation of the case, reviewing police reports and video tapes. Also actually looking at the place where the arrest occurred, and determining what we can do to defend your case. We want to try to minimize the impact this will have on you. If we can we will win it all together, make it go away. Make it as if it never happened.
If we can't do that, then of course we want to try to put you in a position where you can receive the best possible sentence from the judge.

Is it harder to redesign an icon like the Mustang than to design a completely new car?
J Mays, Ford's chief of design, told The Associated Press: "No. It's an absolute joy. You get people lining up at your office door ready to work on Mustang, so this is an absolute honor. We started doing the planning in late 2009, and you can imagine the sketches were already starting to come across my desk about three minutes after we kicked the program off. So we've been thinking about this, and thinking about really what are the essential elements of this car, for a long time. The biggest trick, I think, on this car was editing down all of the Mustang cues, because we could have put more on there. You need just enough to tell the story, and you want to leave just enough off that it allows the customer to participate and fill in the blanks. And I think that mystery is part of what makes a good car work really well."
What's your favorite part of the car?
Mays: "Tri-bar tail lamps. But I'm just a sucker for history."

With only a few weeks until the launch of the McLaren P1, the supercar and Formula One constructor has begun to release a few images and snippets of information about the new car. The latest images give us a drivers and passengers' view of the supercar that McLaren are hoping will be known as "the best driver's car in the world".
The interior is focused on the driver so there's a glass canopy and a deep wide windscreen for greater visibility than the ride height should offer. The dashboard is minimalist and made from carbon fibre. The material has also been used on the floor, the headlining, the centre console and the doors. None of the carbon is lacquered, which McLaren say gives a 1.5kg weight saving. There's no interior sound insulation, which also saves weight and allows the sound of the 3.8-litre twin-turbo engine to enter the cabin as it would in a racing car. Even the floor mats have been designed to be as lightweight as possible, although you don't have to option them.
Carbon fibre seats come as standard and of course the P1's chassis is all carbon. Even the steering wheel has been handed over to the carbon fibre fabricators. The lack of luxury is traded for race bred sophistication but there's no substituting the cost. It's expected to be £800,000 for 220 mph and an engine that includes KERS-style motor that adds 100 hp to the 750 hp generated by the twin-turbo powerplant.
The McLaren P1 is set for launch at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show in March. But between then and now we expect to be drip-fed a few more images of the MP4-12C's stable mate.

Not too long ago, we announced that Rovio had opened a publishing studio to help new game studios get started. Rovio Stars' first game to be published is Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage. From the trailer, it appears to include aspects of Cut the Rope and Slice It! Take a look for yourself:
The game is available for $0.99 on the iPhone and $2.99 on the iPad. It looks like it could be a fun game, though I haven't yet gotten a chance to try it out for myself. One of the best parts of the game is that it features a variety of different puzzles through featuring different obstacles.

To the Editor:
A 12-year-old boy from north India with a history of ventricular septal defect repair at 1 year of age was diagnosed as having chronic hepatitis C, genotype 3. After initial evaluation and a liver biopsy, he started taking pegylated interferon α-2b (PEGIFNα-2b) at a dose of 60 μg/m2 subcutaneously weekly and ribavarin at a dose of 15 mg · kg−1 · day−1(1,2). At 12 weeks of therapy, his hepatitis C virus RNA was below detectable limits but had again appeared at 24 weeks, so he was continued on the said treatment. He was tolerating the treatment well; however, in the 28th week of the PEGIFNα-2b, after 3 hours of the injection, while playing in the field, he fell unconscious and was brought to the hospital after 15 minutes in cardiorespiratory arrest. He was revived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There were no features of acute hypersensitivity; electrolytes, calcium, and blood sugar were normal. Computed tomography scan of brain was normal. His electrocardiogram taken later on was normal. After 1 month of the event, he is still in the hospital, on ventilator. Magnetic resonance imaging of brain showed features of severe hypoxia.
We consider this whole event as a possible adverse effect of PEGIFN administration, although we do not have clarity about the nature of the terminal event, possibly seizure or arrhythmia. Seizures have been reported with PEGIFN in adults, but all of them had comorbidities to explain seizures (3). Arrhythmias have not been reported with PEGIFNα in children and it has been used successfully in patients with coexisting heart disease (4). No deaths have been reported in children.

What undrafted rookie can make the Miami Dolphins' 53?
Every year since 2006 an undrafted rookie has rise up the depth chart like a phoenix and make the 53-man roster.Each year at least one player following in Davone Bess, Dan Carpenter, Jonathon Amaya, Pat Devlin Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore's footsteps, risen from the ranks of the overlooked and carves out a role, and an NFL career for himself.
There will be two dozen undrafted rookies – either signed or on a tryout – participating in the Dolphins' three day rookie camp, and history says someone will make the 53-man roster.
The journey for these overlooked rookies begins today at 4 p.m., and @IzzyGould will be your eyes and ears.
Why would the trend stop this year with a rebuilding roster? Even though I won't be attending rookie camp, these are the players I'd have my eye on.
Texas A&M receiver Jeff Fuller already knows Mike Sherman's offense from their time together at Texas A&M, and he's a very talented player. Many expected Fuller to be be an early selection in the 2012 draft based on his junior season, but a hamstring injury hindered him, and inconsistent play tanked his draft stock.
Utah pass rusher Derrick Shelby is solidly built, athletic, and has a sizable wing span. He'll compete for a reserve role as a pass rusher and special teams contributor. The biggest knock on Shelby is his production was average, and he lacks weight room strength. But there is upside.
Portland State offensive guard Dustin Waldron consistently overpowered inferior talent in college. He's supposedly quick into his blocks and maneuvers to sustain them. However, he lacks the ideal arm length and agility you need to be an NFL starter. However, Waldron might benefit from being in a zone blocking scheme.
Temple offensive guard Derek Dennis has battled injuries throughout his collegiate career, but he's the type of pulling guard the Dolphins desperately need to wash away defenders. At 6-foot-3, 315 pounds he possesses a good frame, but will need to be a short area mauler to catch the attention of the coaches.
Notre Dame tailback Jonas Gray, a former Parade All-American, was on the rise before a torn ACL injury curbed his ascent. He could turn into as surprise value pick if he can stay healthy, proves he's versatile, and shows good vision during training camp.
Penn State receiver Derek Moye led all Penn State receivers for three straight seasons. At 6-foot-4 he's a big target, but is an average athlete that has stiff hips. He'll need to be more sudden off the line to survive in the NFL.
These might be the five players I've singled out, but that doesn't mean others won't scratch and claw their way up the depth chart just like Moore and Wallace did in 2010, when the Dolphins coaches saw more value in them than Patrick Turner.
The only way to rise up the depth chart is with consistently strong practice performances, and the journey begins this weekend.

College Hockey:Trotman won't return to Lake Superior, signs with Boston
Though no official announcement has been made, it appears Lake Superior State junior defenseman Zach Trotman has given up his senior season with the Lakers and has signed an entry-level deal with the Boston Bruins.
Boston drafted Trotman with the very last pick (210th overall) of the 2010 NHL draft.
Trotman confirmed the signing Saturday to the New England Hockey Journal.
After an eight-point freshman season at LSSU, Trotman scored 41 points in the next two years, posting a career-best 11 goals this past season

Meet Adam Whobrey, aka Hoobs, (right) and Steve Hoppenfeld, aka Hops (left). Bona fide stars of the glass community, Hoobs & Hops maintain separate businesses, but collaborate on a regular basis. They revel in creating hot rod cars, rat fink-style figures and other conceptual sculptures out of glass.
Adam says glass art requires an "all in" mentality — dedication that far surpasses what's necessary to perform a typical day job. It's only been 10 years since he undertook the artist's path, but he's watched a new American art movement take root. As for his role in it, he says "There's no better feeling than pulling off that next-level piece for the first time."
Steve, who began blowing glass 11 years ago in Vermont, grew tired of creating the same, old down-stem pipes. Still, he wasn't sure how to take things to the next level. Then, while attending a soccer game, he had his "light bulb moment."
He saw a PVC pipe that had been fashioned into a communal water fountain. All the way down the pipe, holes allowed water to flow out the same rate. Hops realized he could do the same thing with smoke. He took a piece of glass tubing, popped it with holes down its length and sealed it sideways into another tube. Thus, the inline diffuser was born! The Jagito bubbler, created by Hops, is now the industry standard.
Late last year, Hoobs & Hops opened Cobra Kai Glass Studios in Southern California to further their partnership. And HIGH TIMES called upon them to create Snoop Lion's Lifetime Achievement Award, an outlandishly ornate piece featuring horns and a glass chain. The world of functional glass art awaits more greatness from this dynamic duo.
"Tire Shredder"
A shark with a surfboard riding in a dune buggy is emblematic of Hoobs & Hops imaginative, fantastical collaborations. In fact, this was their first collaboration.
"End of the Beginning"
This apocalyptic piece by Hoobs features a pyramid, an alien, a Third Eye -- even hieroglyphics to help keep your focus on the otherworld. It was completed the day before the end of the Mayan Calendar.
"Gypsy Warrior"
This motorcycle (a flame-worked borosilicate glass creation) is a collaboration between Hops and Doshworld, last month's Glass Artist of the Month.
Snoop Lion's Lifetime Achievement Award
At the recent HIGH TIMES U.S. Cannabis Cup in Denver, Snoop Lion was honored with the Lester Grinspoon Lifetime Achievement Award. Hoobs & Hops created this wearable trophy featuring horns and a massive glass-link chain.
More sharks -- this time Jaws is on a skateboard, with a fishhook as an arm!
"Osiris Diamonds in the Mind"
Hoobs is responsible for this thoughtful piece, It represents creative expression through music and art. It also asks the deep question: "Do we come from beyond?"
"Ancient Technology Series"
Once again, Hoobs demonstrates his obsession with other dimensions with this alien companion to your smoking pleasure.
"Tire Chopper"
Hops collaborated on this motorcycle with Doc. The tires are sandblasted and free-spinning, ensuring that smoking this pipe is a smooth ride.
"El Diablo Hielo" (The Ice Devil)
Another far out vehicle courtesy of Hops and Hoobs, another top artist. It was produced with flame-worked borosilicate glass. The tires are sandblasted and rubber-coated, mounted with skateboard bearings.
Original Inline Ashcatcher
Hops was inspired to create this piece after observing a BVC pipe fashioned into a water fountain.
