Cannabis May Improve Attention And Memory
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, December, 4th 2013 by THCFinder
A new study published and funded by the National Institute of Health has found that poor working memory and attention control is associated with a lower efficiency of the endocannabinoid system, indicating that cannabis could improve these functions as it activates and positively regulates this system.
"Our results suggest that.. a lower efficiency of the endocannabinoid system, probably due to a lowered expression of CB1R, produced a reduction in the performance of these subjects when attentional control and working memory processing is challenged."

Marijuana On (And Off) The Job
Category: Culture | Posted on Wed, December, 4th 2013 by THCFinder
Finding a job in his economy is extremely tough. Even people with college degrees and tons of experience are having trouble finding work. People still need to pay the bills though and are searching for jobs anywhere that they can. For stoners, finding some cash may be more difficult than some, considering the high risk of getting a job that drug tests... Or possibly even fired because you smoke at home.
Drugs tests are one of the biggest enemies of the stoner. They're difficult to pass and extremely hindering. Plus, why should what you do at home have a say in what job you have? People that don't smoke could be even more dangerous than those that do! No one can really ever truly know another person and while I may be watching too much Dexter, it's possible for anyone to be something they're not. But just because a person likes to smoke a bowl before bed, they don't deserve employment? Avoiding a drug test is a number one goal for most stoners looking for work, which is the reason that a lot of stoners populate the service industry, bartenders, waiters, waitresses, etc.
On the other hand, there are places that will fire employees if they are suspected or found out to be using drugs outside of the workplace. This scenario is even more ridiculous than trying to pass a drug test. Seeing as how the employee has already been working and has proved themselves (providing that they are already a good employee), it is completely unfair that someone will lose their source of income because of weed. There have been numerous college and high school students that have been barred from proms, school fairs, and graduations because of silly marijuana charges, in addition to losing their jobs. Not only is that on their record but they have to say on new applications that they were fired because of it. Double whammy.
Someone who smokes shouldn't lose everything because of what they do at home. There are alcoholics and pill heads that have jobs yet they are never at risk as long as they can pull it together for a few hours of work. People who use marijuana sometimes use it to better their function. If firing people that use marijuana is allowed, then people who drink and take prescription pills should be tested for too. If that's the case, no one will be able to work. Doesn't seem right does it?

I constantly have the problem of the Launcher opening when I want to do something in an application; I also want Launcher to appear as quickly as possible to e.g. switch or boot up new applications. How can this be solved? Do I re-size windows so that the left edge is always to right of the Launcher? Thanks!
You can press the "Windows" button on the lower left of your keyboard to bring up the Dash without complication, although it can take a couple of seconds to come up sometimes on my computer.
You can use the gear at the top right of your screen, go to settings, appearance, and then the behavior tab. From there you can turn off "Autohide". If you want to keep autohide on you can also press Alt-F1 to bring the Launcher up.
Keyboard shortcuts can be very helpful when using Unity. Please see What are Unity's keyboard and mouse shortcuts?.

One in Five Children Impoverished in U.S.
Posted on Sep 12, 2012
New numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau report a steady decline in median household income for Americans, a yawning inequality gap and more than one in five children under age 18 living in poverty.
Real median household income dropped 1.5 percent in 2011 to $50,054 from 2010 levels. It is the second consecutive year in which median income has dropped for Americans.

Hey there - I'm a music lover, cinema fan, athletics nut, and an all round fun loving person. I've done a fair amount of travelling throughout my life and have lived in Central America and Europe in the last few years. Because of my love of meeting and mingling with people from different places and cultures, I've been a user and host on airbnb since 2010.

Well with the 2010 seasons over and the holidays gone I've turned my attention to a little fishing and planning my 2011 hunts. In early Dec I tore a muscle in my upper back and was laid up for a week or so then on light duty at work. Now that I'm feeling a heck of a lot better I've hit the river a few times for some steelhead( caught 2). The past few days I've been researching new areas to hunt this bow season. still also planning my back packing trip in sept. looks more like its gonna be a solo wilderness hunt as my dad and brother have backed out. What have the rest of you been up to?

It may seem like a backhanded compliment, but what Keira Knightley has to say about costar Adam Levine's acting debut is genuine praise delivered with British dry wit.
"He did play a d–head very well," Knightley tells Glamour for its July issue.
"Actually, I admire him being so willing. To play a d–head is quite a big thing when you are trying to break into film and you want to be likable," she says of PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive.
"With a feel-good film you are always risking going way too cheesy but maybe I can have a little holiday where I'm not playing a character who is being destroyed," she says.
Knightley sings and plays guitar in the film, which makes her admitted stage fright seem even more surprising.
"I have really suffered from stage fright, or actually camera fright," she says. "[Because] you are presenting layers and layers of pretending, and it's not just you but other people in charge of your face or your body or your hair."
Levine has said he was also nervous while filming.
"I was worried, but I had to pretend like I wasn't," Maroon 5's lead singer told PEOPLE in April. "I kept thinking, 'I'm an actor. For this next two weeks, I am an actor.' I crossed my fingers and hoped it turned out fine."

If yours is to settle for the familiarity of your mind informancy on a moment by moment basis, then yours will be to continue on in the same manner that you are already doing - even should you find something better. The mind informancy drive is not a giver, it is a taker.

It is all so very simple but this simplicity will not be seen via your familiar vision of looking at everything via the running commentary of your mind informancy. Awakening to the state of the natural man will only come about through you consciously choosing to move from this, that already is - and this you are very capable of.
The very heart of existence itself is what is looking out through the very eyes of this mindbody that you find yourself so intimately involved with. You think that you are this mindbody- it is what you are unconsciously trying to be from moment to moment...
There is never the possibility of satiating desire. It is in the beingness of this one ...that you are freed from the attempts of satiating the bottomless well of desire.
There is nothing wrong with anything in manifestation; all manifestation is a movement of the divine one gearing up for the very purposes of this divine one entering its own creation with the fullness and purity of itself.

Joe Dante Talks Merging Horror, Humor & Social Commentary in 'Burying the Ex'
The filmmaker, screenwriter and stars discuss filming their horror/humor zombie flick on a tight schedule and even tighter budget.
The filmmaker, screenwriter and stars discuss filming their horror/humor zombie flick on a tight schedule and even tighter budget.
The horror comedy stars Anton Yelchin as a nice guy who discovers breaking up his hard to do — even when is girlfriend is dead.
The director of Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch explains the trouble with resurrecting the franchise.
Warner Bros. is courting Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment in hopes of bringing Gremlins back into theaters with a reboot or remake of the 1984 horror comedy.
When the news hits late last week that veteran horror filmmaker Joe Dante was preparing a new feature called Monster Love, comic book readers immediately took note of the movie's screenwriter: Greg Pak. And today, the Incredible Hulk scribe shares his thoughts on the screenplay along with exclusive concept art.
Joe Dante goes into pre-production on his next film, the werewolf/vampire love story Monster Love, penned by comics writer Greg Pak.
Think that Paris is a city of love, surreally beautiful and stylish people and heartbreak? Well, it is, but it's so much more… Something that Joe Dante and the other directors behind Paris, I'll Kill You want to share.
Will there be a third Gremlins movie… and in 3D? The answer might not necessarily be no, according to director Joe Dante.

RENO, Nev. - The University of Nevada swimming and diving team was picked to finish eighth in its inaugural season in the Mountain West on Tuesday by the conference's head coaches.
The Wolf Pack earned 17 points, finishing one spot ahead of Air Force (11) and one spot behind Fresno State (22).
San Diego State was selected as the favorite to win the Mountain West in 2012-13, one point ahead of defending champion Boise State. The Aztecs collected four first-place votes and 60 total points, while Boise State was selected to finish second with 59 points and claimed five first-place votes. One point also separates third and fourth place as UNLV collected 48 points for third place, just ahead of Wyoming in fourth with 47 points.

I have lived in many different countries: Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Italy and Afghanistan. I love to teach kids and adults English. I like to use games and songs and lots of handouts. I think teaching ESL is an important responsibility. It is a way to help people integrate into American culture and to acquire a crucial life skill; one that improves lives, creates opportunities for individuals and enriches our shared culture.
I believe education should be transformative not merely informative. Teaching for me, is more than simply relating information, it is about creating relationships with students that allow the student to be a 'co-creator of knowledge'. It is about context based content with careful consideration of each student's unique experiences.
I have a bachelor's degree from Evergreen State College, a progressive, non-traditional college in the Pacific Northwest where I studied education and humanities. I have tutored SAT and ESL English in Olympia, WA and I have lived and taught in Thailand.
I look forward to meeting many new students here in the greatest city in the world, NYC!

The significance of the win was not lost on the Riders.
"It's amazing," Riders quarterback Ryan Rodocker said of Friday's win at Sequim High School.
"We haven't done it since I was nine."
Rodocker, a sophomore making his second varsity start at quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in the third quarter as Port Angeles outscored Sequim 22-6 in the second half after the game was tied 15-15 at halftime.
"This is our championship game. This is what we really wanted all season," senior Nick Lasorsa said.
"It feels great, it feels great. All the years I've been playing, we lost to them, and we lost to them a few years before that, so it feels great to go out as a senior, breaking that losing streak against Sequim."
Lasorsa and Miki Andrus both surpassed 100 yards rushing. Lasorsa carried 15 times for 137 yards while Andrus had 17 carries for 120 yards.
They ran behind an offensive line that played one of its best games.
"We played with more intensity and our line was just doing great on the runs," Andrus said.
"I've never seen them play this good. Their holes . . . anybody can fit through. A train can fit through that."
Added Lasorsa, "Our linemen really got it done. Every hole I ran through was huge."
Perhaps no hole was bigger than the one Lasorsa had on the first play from scrimmage after Sequim tied the game at 8-8 on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Miguel Moroles to Josiah Anastasi.
Lasorsa blasted through a hole on the right side of the line and ran untouched for a 60-yard touchdown to make it 15-7.
Matt Robbins — who left the game after sustaining an injury on the second-half kickoff — opened the scoring with a 4-yard run earlier in the second quarter.
After an offside penalty moved the ball inside the 2-yard line on the point-after kick, the Riders attempt a two-point conversion that succeed when sophomore lineman Billy Minks picked up a fumble and fell into the end zone.
Last in the first half, the Riders threatened to extend their 15-8 lead, advancing to the Sequim 12, but Wright intercepted Rodocker's pass in the end zone.
Moroles then marched the Wolves 80 yards in less than two minutes, tying the game with a 23-yard pass that Ian Dennis caught in the end zone on a fourth-and-13 play.
The teams exchanged punts to open the third quarter.
Andrus returned Sequim's second punt of the quarter 68 yards inside the Wolves 20-yard line.
Two plays later, on third down, a diving Andrus hauled in a Rodocker pass in the end zone.
Andrus finished with two catches for 46 yards.
"Miki had an outstanding game," Sequim coach Erik Wiker said.
"I mean, both of his catches could have easily been dropped. They were lay-out, stretch-out catches. Those are wonderful. Those were outstanding plays, those are big, huge differences. His kick returns and punt returns were big, huge differences."
Andrus made a big play on defense to end the Wolves' next drive.
On fourth-and-1, Sequim running back Chris Whitaker took a handoff and was stuffed at the line by Andrus.
The Riders went 44 yards in four plays, scoring on a 25-yard pass from Rodocker to Steven Lauderback on a third-down play.
Filling in for injured starter Nate Angevine, Rodocker completed 3 of 8 passes for 71 yards and two touchdowns.
All three of Rodocker's completions came on third down-and-long plays.
"Ryan Rodocker . . . I don't even know what to say. He stepped up," Lasorsa said.
"Honestly, we had confidence in him, but no one expected him to step up that much. He stepped right in and got it done."
Moroles ran for an 8-yard touchdown with seven minutes left in the game.
An unsportsmanlike penalty moved the ball back, and the extra point was blocked, meaning the Wolves still trailed by two scores.
The Riders put the game away with a seven-play drive — all runs by either Andrus or Lasorsa — that concluded with an Andrus 8-yard touchdown run.
Port Angeles' defense was as impressive as its offense.
Roberto Coronel, Paul VanRossen, Kyle LaFritz, Caleb West and the rest of the Riders' defensive front seven kept Moroles on the run throughout the game.
Moroles' runs ended up being Sequim's best plays — he picked up 124 yards on 24 carries — but he was limited to only 17 pass attempts, completing 10 for 107 yards.
"He's got the go-ahead to run any time he feels good because he usually makes something pretty good," Wiker said.
"They caught him a couple times, but more than often, they didn't. It's usually a good thing when he's running."
Equally important, the Riders were able to limit Wright's touches and prevent him from making big plays for the Sequim offense.
As the Roughriders (2-4, 2-6) passed around the Rainshadow Rumble trophy after the game, coach Tom Wahl told a Port Angeles supporter that he didn't even know a trophy was awarded to the winner.
The win was Wahl's first over the Wolves in four tries, and he didn't downplay its significance.
"I would be lying if I didn't say it was exciting," Wahl said.
"Rivalries are important. This game means a lot to the kids. We talked to them about respect this week, and it's such a big part of respect when you have rivalries, whether it's a rivalry with your brother or a rivalry with the cross-town team."
Wiker, too, recognizes the significance of the rivalry, even though the teams entered the game with a combined total of one victory this season.
He also acknowledged that losing the game stings more than the winless Wolves' (0-6, 0-8) other seven losses.
"Oh, for sure. These are the ones that make the season," he said.
"I don't care if we're undefeated in league, or they're at the top and we're at the bottom, we're at the top, we're at the bottom, we're both at the bottom, it's still a big game.
"It's one of those things that can make or break a season. Even with wins or no wins, if we win this one, it would definitely help our season quite a bit."
Wiker should know. Last year, Sequim won two games, including a 34-7 victory over Port Angeles.
"We won homecoming [against Klahowya] and P.A.," Wiker said. "The sting wasn't as bad for such a tough year."
On the other side, Wahl is all too familiar with what the Wolves are experiencing this season, as the Roughriders finished 0-9 in 2012.
"My hats off to Sequim. Sequim was very gracious and they played a great game," Wahl said.
"We've been where they are right now quite a few times, and so my heart goes out to them, for sure, because I know this is a tough season for them.
"They've got a great program and coach Wiker's an excellent coach. He does a good job, and I know that they'll come back next year and they're going to be a better team. They're a young team this year."
Port Angeles and Sequim both face teams that have clinched postseason berths this Friday.
The Riders host Kingston (5-1, 6-2) in their homecoming game at Civic Field. The Buccaneers are coming their first Olympic League loss of the season to North Kitsap (6-0, 6-2) in the de facto league championship game 37-30.
Sequim is also at home, facing North Mason (4-2, 6-2), which wrapped up a playoff spot by beating Klahowya (2-4, 4-4) 28-17.
The Wolves will finish their season with a crossover game at Foster on Friday, Nov. 8, at 7 p.m.
Port Angeles is still attempting to set up a Week 10 game.

I LOVE this duvet cover. I am a fan of upscale hotels, and this cover makes me feel like Im sleeping in a *** every night! It is seriously chic and stylish, soft and high quality. I have other *** covers that cost the same as this and they are only 300 threadcount, and for the same price you can get this 1000 threadcount set. I LOVE IT. The only complaint is that it doesnt have internal ties to keep the duvet in place, so I just sewed some shoelaces in each inside corner and it works like a charm! I am IN LOVE WITH MY BED. YOU MUST BUY THIS!!
This duvet is very thick and beautiful. I ordered the king sized ivory. However, it only reaches about three inches on each side of the bed so I was constantly pulling at it in the middle of the night. I had to take it off. It would be a better fit for a queen sized bed.
No need to iron. Here is the tip. You spray with orange water or just pure water from a spray bottle and smooth over with a hand. Perfect. I am ordering a second set.
I always say, "if you're gonna do, do it right!" Well, this was first my Eygptian cotton ANYTHING ... and I have to say I'm extremely impressedt! It feels and looks like something you'd see in a 5 star hotel. I"m not lying when I say I find any excuse to lie in bed ... Way to go O!!!!
I ordered the "gold" color duvet cover. While the material is very sturdy, and of good quality, the color was not at all as it appears in the "group" pix of the covers online. In reality, the color is more like the online one designated as "taupe". Its actual color is definitely a cafe au lait kind of "gold," but because of the online pix, I envisioned a more yellow-orange gold. I decided to keep the cover to use in another room, because it was of such good quality and the color isn't bad, just doesn't go where I planned for it to go!
I love how soft my duvet is and how well it has washed up. It looks fabulous on my bed. I use it under another duvet because I have animals. Which leads me to my only complaint , since I have animals, their fur seems to stick to this duvet worse than any other duvets/sheets that I own. I am going to try not to use fabric softener and see if that helps... Overall, I would purchase this duvet again and would recommend it to others.
It's a decent set, but I ordered white and it's too sheer, You can see right thru it, which makes it look cheap and not something for a master bedroom. It's very soft and I ended up keeping mine, but I will replace it with something thicker and of better quality. I may use it in a spare room as I hate to have it sit in the closet.
I am always reluctant to write a review before I have actually laundered an item. In the case of the Egyptian Cotton 1000 thread count Duvet I came right to my computer after pulling it out of the dryer and making my bed! It was gorgeous when I opened it and it is even more to my liking now. It had a bit of sheen to it brand new but after laundering (no bleach and medium heat only!) it took on a nice matte finish. I am actually going to order another set right now!
I ordered ALL the bedclothes! The order consisted of full sets of both burgundy and espresso sheets, both standard and king pillowcases, duvet and shams for a king-sized bed. I had hoped to interchange the colors for one bed. However, sheets didn't match the color of the pillowcases or shams or duvet, etc. Burgundy duvet was a deep burgundy but the burgundy sheets were more on the fire-engine red side. Espresso duvet and one set of the espresso pillowcases were a rich dark brown but the espresso sheets and the other set of espresso pillowcases looked almost dark olive brown. I cannot testify to the quality of the sheets as I was unable to get past the color issue to even wash them to put them on the bed. I can say that they felt a little scratchy to the hand. I would have liked to think that that wouldn't have been an issue once washed. Sending them ALL back for a refund.
I got this duvet cover in ivory. It's lovely! Excellent quality. It's thick and soft, and the ivory color is a true ivory. It comes out of the dryer looking very nice and it doesn't wrinkle too much on the bed. I would recommend it!
Looks great feels even better. Arrived on time. Pillow covers are for the big kind.
I purchased the 1,000 thread count sheet set and after loving them, had to complete the set with the duvet cover and I love it just as much...Stitching amazing and the feel is excellent! It even comes with two shams that I didn't see in the overview - a bonus. Only suggestion is to be a little careful of the color of the one we got which was labeled taupe - sort of looked like coffee in the picture - is a little more on the gold side...but other than that - amazing.
I love the duvet set. we chose taupe & love the color, sheen & weight of the material. Our dogs lie on our bed as well & this duvet is very dog friendly. This was my first shopping experience on Overstock.com & it was a great one.
Thick feeling cotton. Lovely. Luxurious. I hate Jersey, microfiber or other "silky" linens. Love a thick cotton flannel or real linen. Wish I knew which sheet set pairs with this duvet cover.
The duvet cover is nice, but, like others have said, it really wrinkles. Unfortunately you have to iron it. Not really satisfied with it.
Very impressed with the quality duvet cover and pillow cases that went along with them. I am a sheet snob, and these rate very high in my opinion. The cotton is a heavy duty, sateen fabric that holds up nicely in the wash. Think these are even better than the Frette sheets I have.
Beautiful fabric! Love this duvet, but pay attention to wash/dry instructions- it wrinkles like linnen if you don't remove immediately from dryer-I hung on clothesline to cool and it came out nice and crisp.
I love this Duvet Set, I now have 3 of the colors. I love to mix and match with my Sheet Sets, also from Overstock. These are true 1000 thread count quality linens. I have the White, Burgandy and now the Gold; they are beautiful in color, rich in feel and wash great. You can't go wrong with this set, it is well worth the price. Don't even hesitate about purchasing these linens, you can't even compare them to those offered in the retail stores, the same would be twice or more the cost. Being quality Egyptian cotton, the more you wash them the softer they get without any of the usual problems like pilling that you get with cheaper linens. My one weakness is great linens; I feel we all have such hectic lives that to sink into luxury at night to sleep is an absolute necessity! The only way to get better quality linens is to buy Egyptian cotton that has been woven in Italy; now that's luxury!!! (But at $1000 to $1500 a set is too steep for my budget) These are a great middle ground at a wonderful price I can live with.
very beautiful but definitely more brown than the picture. The picture makes it look more pink but it is definitely brown. Very happy with it
Beautiful, soft, heavy weight cotton. The duvet cover gets a bit warm and so we save it for winters- but otherwise we have had for several years and it has held up to frequent hot water washes and bleachings.worth every penny

For the last few days my sciatic nerve has been killing me and cramping my right butt/thigh. It gets worse by the hour, i have stretched, drank water, took tylenol, rested it. I just wanna chop it off.
On top of that my kids are acting up and seem to think its okay to ignore me. 2 1/2 more hours, then bed for them. If i put them to bed to early they will just wake up 2 hours later til me and my husband go to bed. I have disciplined them, tried to entertain them, all failed.
The baby is getting his head nice and comfy really low down, which means pain and discomfort for me.
And too boot i have a frickin headache. I want this day to be over already.
If i wasn't pregnant, a few nice cold beers would take the edge off. I'm irritated, tired, and sore. I have lost all patience for today. I wanna curl up in a ball and cry.
Anyone else having a bad day? Feel free to let it out.

We've been coming to Vallarta for over 20 years and have owned timeshares all over. We first visited Paradise Village in a trade, but ended up purchasing second-hand because of the family atmosphere. First let me say, this is not a luxurious 4-5 star hotel on American standards - no pillowtops, robes, ultra swank furnishings, down pillows - but it is a very good hotel.
Rooms are spacious and comfortable with all kitchen amenities. We've stayed in studios and bedrooms, and it's really about what you're looking for and price point. The great thing about PV is that it's located so close to the beach that your ocean views are magnificent. The rooms have been updated with granite countertops and stainless appliances. The beds are average with firm mattress and regular pillows. If you upgrade to 1-2 bedroom units, you do have multiple bathrooms which is nice for a family.
You can basically do as much or as little as you want while at the resort. The staff and clientele are friendly, and you'll be making fast friends if you choose to. There are 2 pools - activity and quiet pool. The activity pool is quite crowded with slides, pool games, etc. Bar and food service poolside is good if you make a relationship with your waiter and tip in the beginning. The beach is magnificent with plenty of palapas. There is something for everyone be it beach volleyball, golf, tennis, etc. We've used the kids club many, many times, and our kids have had lots of fun. We love, love the spa. It is showing it's age now that new resorts are popping up nearby, but it is still the best. We spa often, and the Palenique provides some of the best services we've had worldwide.
PV can be a one stop destination if you want, or you can travel into Vallarta or neighboring towns. We love dinner in Bucerias more so than Vallarta because of proximity. Because there is a full kitchen and outdoor grills downstairs, we often stay and cook in which is lovely! Markets and grocery stores are nearby which makes shopping easy.
Paradise Village is a great place for families. It's very secure and safe which we love. You can do as much or as little as you want. Stay on property or adventure out. It's not the newest, latest and greatest in Nuevo. But if you're looking for a room with all amenities of a condo and nice resort, look no further! It's a second home to us.

Virginia and Dennis Johns
Wed Feb 3
As we mentioned in our prior blog post, the Atlantic Odyssey rally had arranged a Rum tasting tour for the group on Wed, which we missed having only arrived that morning. But late in the day a group of locals paraded down the pontoon where all the Odyssey boats were moored with one of the colorful and musical parades that were happening all over the island for the start of Carnaval.
Thu Feb 4
We were able to participate in the Discovery Day activities the following Thursday. We took a bus to Trois Ilets, a museum site that depicted a typical slave savanna. A slave savanna was a small residence that was established by former slaves after slavery was abolished in 1848. We then went back to Le Marin and had a typical Creole lunch at a small restaurant on the beach. Following that we were invited to participate in sailing traditional Yoles - big wooden canoe style hull with a brightly colored square sail which is steered by humans shifting their weight from one side to the other and some sitting on poles extending about 6 feet out the side of the boat. There wasn't much wind, but the locals got two of the yoles going - each full of willing participants of all ages. Our crew, Steve and Jim, represented Libertad.
Thursday night, the rally organizers and the Martinique Office of Tourism provided a farewell party at the Mango Bay Restaurant, a short walk from the marina. A sumptuous, three course meal was served followed by speeches and an awards presentation to every rally participant. Virginia received a special award for becoming the single, default SSB net controller as all other controllers travelled faster and moved out of range of most of the SSB net participants. Her sweet voice over the radio waves enticed other Atlantic crossers who were not in our official group to join our net after tuning in each morning. We finally met some of them after arriving in Martinique.
Sun Feb 7
was the start of Carnaval. Colin on Persevere arranged for a bus to pick us up at the marina and take us to the ferry where they then took us across the bay to Fort du France for the opening ceremonial parade. Unfortunately our crew had left on a flight very early that morning so they missed out on the fun. The parade went on forever. They had several floats, lots of bands - mostly drums, lots of dancers. It was very colorful and festive. The parade was so long we had to work our way back along the route (towards the ferry dock) to see the bulk of it and avoid missing our return ferry. There were costume shops all along the street and many in the crowd were decked out in Carnaval dress. The big thing was neon colored items -net ballet skirts and gloves, leg warmers, hats, and ties - all being worn by women and men alike, including the ballet skirts. Virginia had recently purchased some of these same neon items for an 80's theme party back in Santa Barbara and was wishing she had them along. As we worked our way towards the end of the parade, it became clear that all those who were previously sidewalk-anchored spectators, were collapsing into the street and dancing along with drum bands either ahead or behind them. It rained, but very lightly and very briefly. We took the ferry back in the evening and the bus was waiting to deliver us back to the marina.
Mon Feb 8
For the next few days we prepared for our trip south to Grenada, emailing Spice Island Marina Services to confirm our reservation, doing a bit of provisioning, catching up on bill paying while we had internet, checking the weather. We had several group dinners aboard Libertad, saying farewell to friends - some of whom we hope to catch up with next season.
Thu Feb 11
We left the marina around 0930 heading south to Grenada. We originally developed a route with just three legs of 50-60 nm each. But for some reason the first leg really exhausted us. We sailed the windward side of St. Lucia to an anchorage on the south end and had good wind for sailing, but also a lot of those confused Atlantic swells. We might have been missing our extra crew to help with the sail changes and such as we were both exhausted and Virginia had gotten a bit nauseous - a rare occurrence these days. Also, we departed a little late for a 60 mile leg and arrived at the anchorage just after sunset. The anchorage was a little rolly with a strong wind blowing through, so we weren't guaranteed an uninterrupted evening. We actually re-anchored at midnight and Dennis was up a few more times during the night on anchor watch. So in the morning we revised our plan and designed a route with shorter legs. We posted a position and short blog post at each anchorage so we won't repeat them all here.
The trip south to Grenada gave us a feeling for what sailing in the Caribbean will be like next year. On the windward side of the islands you are in the Atlantic and since the trade winds are generally coming from the east you get consistent wind to sail and swell. On the leeward side of the islands you have variable wind. We had nice steady sailing winds when making a passage between islands, some gusting and change of wind direction at the ends of islands, and no wind at all if it was a tall mountainous island and was blocking all the wind. While there might be some chop, we had no swells to speak of on the leeward side.
Mon Feb 15
we arrived in Prickly Bay. We spent two nights at the small Prickly Bay Marina preparing the boat to be hauled. The first night we ate ashore at the marina restaurant as they were having pizza night and had good free wifi. We took a taxi to a bank in town to get the local currency EC$ (eastern Caribbean) and to drop by the boatyard to get a better idea of the location of the lift. We primarily are on the boat doing all our 'storage' chores, making lists of what we need to take home and what equipment we need to order and bring back with us, and using the internet to arrange flights home. We'll have to tour Grenada and all the islands we anchored at enroute here next season when we return.
Wed Feb 17
We are hauling out Libertad at Spice Island Marine Services yard this morning at 10:00.
Fri Feb 19
We will be flying back to California (Grenada to Trinidad to Miami to Houston to LAX).

Virginia and Dennis Johns
Sunday, Jan 3
We did an overnight run from Lanzarote to Tenerife - no wind, motored the whole way. When we checked into the marina (5 days free stay for Odyssey participants) we immediately ordered fuel and they said they would deliver it right to our slip. Virginia had a moment of panic when she returned from an errand to see no boat in our berth, but quickly discovered that Dennis had been asked to move Libertad as the fuel truck's hose would not reach to our berth. Silver Lining: Libertad was now in quite a convenient location for our crew's arrival and provisioning as we were side-tied at the bottom of the entrance ramp. Virginia was impressed by the apparent skill it took to maneuver into the berth now occupied but Dennis insisted it was easy. The hard part, departure, was yet to come. We filled the tank but Dennis forgot to get our two new jerry cans filled (hidden in the engine compartment) so he had to chase the fuel truck down the dock and stand by until he finished with other boats and then had to lug the filled cans back to the boat. We immediately got busy with boat projects -Dennis installing items he had bought and brought from home and Virginia refining her provisioning list. That evening we attended a welcoming party at the Real Club Nautico de Tenerife (local yacht club). Open bar and appetizers in vast quantities were served, eliminating any need for dinner. By the next day we were exhausted from preparation projects, but planned to clean up a bit and go ashore for dinner as it was Jan 5th, our 41st wedding anniversary. It started to rain and we were rethinking our plans when our friends Bill and Judy came over and invited us to dinner aboard BeBe. What a wonderful gift - and they didn't even know it was a special day for us. We grabbed the box of Sees candy Dennis had gotten for Christmas and headed over for a very enjoyable meal and visit with our friends. Plans were made for Virginia and Judy to make a provisioning run the next day to the best supermarket in town. Dennis wrapped up a few more projects while Virginia came back carrying only a small bag of items as the rest were to be delivered to the boat that night....so convenient!
Thu Jan 7
Our crew arrived as planned. Jim arrived in the early evening, around 7:30pm in time to have dinner with us. We saved Steve's dinner and warmed it up when he arrived around 10pm. We spent the next two days making the final preparations, including two provisioning runs primarily to the excellent open produce market for fresh vegetables and fruit (they are well-prepared for the cruising community). We had emptied out some cupboards for the crew in the V-berth and moved all the loose items we normally store there (we use it like a garage) to other hiding spots throughout the boat. Steve set up in the starboard bunk of the V-berth. With the leeboards installed, the port side was used to store our crates of produce -that worked very well but Steve had to live the next three weeks amongst the aroma of a produce market -he didn't complain. Jim was assigned to the salon berth, the most comfortable spot on the boat but also the least private. At the large open air market, after reviewing all the merchants, we selected one that seemed to have everything we wanted. It was an advantageous selection as they were very accommodating. When we selected an item and stated our quantity, they personally picked out the freshest and in some cases the greenest (tomatoes for instance) -they were obviously very familiar with provisioning for sailors who have minimal refrigeration. They also delivered all ten crates of produce to the boat -fabulous! The captain did not contest the quantities Virginia ordering -as provisioning was her job and she had a detailed spreadsheet worked out. He did look a bit surprised when she said she wanted 200 pieces of fruit and the count after the crates were delivered and stored was short. He made a second trip with the crew to find a bit more variety and augment the count for us. As might be expected, we had to toss some which went bad, such as a c was ouple yellow peppers and a few cucumbers. But for the most part we were good about using the right things first and even had a few fresh items left when we arrived in Martinique. We used some of our dried and canned fruit to give us some variety near the end. No case of scurvy was suffered.
Fri Jan 8
The day before we leave. There was a communications meeting where they discussed the procedures for using the tracking devices and establishing a radio net. Virginia agreed to be one of the radio net controllers as she loves having that connection at sea and wanted to make sure they had enough controllers to make it a 'go'. Next was the skippers meeting which the captain and crew attended. The first mate was back on the boat awaiting the produce delivery. Later that evening was the farewell party hosted by the Office of Tourism at the Yacht Club. It was to be another cocktail party with an open bar and nibbles, but they served us so many delectable items in such quantity that it was really dinner. Each boat was called forward to receive a plaque in remembrance of their participation along with three bottles of Spanish wine. It was suggested that at least one bottle be opened at the halfway point in the Atlantic. The children were each given a special gift. Among the 17 boats in our rally, only two had children - three older boys and one young girl on s/v Baloo and three girls on s/v Perseverance. The girls became fast friends. There happened to be a big cruise ship in port and the captain came in full uniform to wish us all well.
Sat Jan 9
The rally departed from Tenerife, Canary Islands at noon. We were asked to head towards the start line about 11:00am and have a mass start -for a good photo op. We had relocated for fueling and later the marina staff had subsequently positioned a very big catamaran close behind us. There was minimal maneuvering room. We had to move the boat by hand with extra lines deployed to help angle our departure and even then Libertad (with no bow thruster struggles to turn any direction) was having a hard time getting out. Dennis was doing a remarkable job moving us forward, then back, then forward, then back...making a little progress each time -the opposing breeze was not helping. Finally several folks on the docks came down and positioned themselves to help guide us away from the docks, out into the fairway. What a frantic time -not the way we wanted to start our voyage. We joined the 17 boat procession out of the harbor (locals shouting encouragement from the end of the breakwater as we passed) and made it to the starting area with plenty of time to spare, circling around with the others. This is not a race, but some were jockeying to be the first over the line. We moved to the outside to stay out of their way. Jimmy Cornell and staff were out in a boat taking pictures and wanted sails flying if possible. There were very light winds, but as we crossed the starting line we hoisted our orange, green, and white drifter to give him a good shot. Just ahead of us we saw a whale blowing his goodbye to the fleet. It was a lovely coincidence.
We were told to expect very light winds until we got close to the Cape Verde Islands. We only had 7-8 knots of wind but were able to sail for a few hours at about 5 knots with four sails flying. That afternoon we saw a pod of pilot whales cruising along on both sides of our boat. The following morning we encountered a very large pod of dolphins racing from a long ways out to the bow of our boat. You could see their track as they were constantly jumping and putting on a show. We saw the most wildlife on the trip in that first 24 hours. A few birds, a single dolphin now and then, and the fish we caught were all we saw the rest of the trip.
We were all assigned tracking equipment to be used for the crossing so that rally control could keep an eye on our progress and post to the Odyssey website for family and friends. We had a daily radio net at 1200UTC on SSB channel 4A. Bill on s/v BeBe, David on s/v Amokura, and Virginia rotated as the net controllers. First order of business was to ask if there are any medical or other emergencies to report. Then we went through a rollcall of the boats that were equipped with SSB (only 7 of the 17-but another group of boats held a net on Iridium satphone). We each gave our position, course, boat speed, wind conditions, and barometer reading. Then we shared stories of fish caught, sea life encountered, broken parts, and life aboard. A north Atlantic storm produced northwesterly swell that intersected the normal easterly swell making the seas to Cape Verdes quite confused and uncomfortable -especially in light wind. Things got even more exciting as Tropical Storm/Hurricane Alex approached Cape Verdes from the southwest. We shared opinions on the best course to take to steer clear of Alex's path. As we approached the Cape Verdes some discussed stopping to fix parts, fuel up (we had motored for 100 hours at that point due to the light wind) and wait for the truant NE tradewinds to fill in. Shortly after departure, we thought we had an issue with our batteries and were planning to make the stop for that reason in addition to the others. But even after Dennis fixed the battery problem at sea, we decided we'd make the stop and get a short break and hope for better wind. About 8 boats in the fleet decided to stop; the rest turned west hoping the trades would fill in sooner -especially those with more fuel. We had some days of sailing, but had motored about four of the seven days on this first leg of the crossing. We made our first timezone change in Mindelo, Cape Verdes.
Sat Jan 16
We arrived at the Marina Mindelo, Sao Vicente, Cape Verdes. We had motored a lot since leaving the Canaries and we weren't sure how much motoring was ahead; as it turned out we wouldn't have needed any more fuel, but filling up removed one potential point of anxiety for the longer leg of the crossing. It was a very restful 2 day stop. On Sunday many of us from the rally took a bus across the island to the fishing village of Calhou where the lone restaurant there had a special buffet every Sunday. We cruisers were outnumbered by the locals and it was so much fun. The locals mixed with us. There was a band playing local music and a young couple danced so beautifully and encouraged us to join them. The buffet was unbelievable. The variety and quantities of local dishes offered was amazing and delicious. Then the food was cleared and a second buffet of desserts was set up. It was so much fun. The bus trip over and back gave us a nice tour of the interior of the island and revealed how desolate is the landscape. It's a wonder that anyone can make a living there outside tourism. We had a very nice relaxing two night stay in Mindelo.
Mon Jan 18
we were off again for the last and longest leg of the passage. s/v BeBe did not stop in Cape Verdes and were so far ahead of our group that did, we could only hear them very lightly so Bill chose to opt out of the net from that point on. Amokura left Cape Verdes one day ahead of the rest of us and were also hard to hear, but they checked in every day. Virginia was able to run the net with relay help from Fenicia and others. It was really a team effort as we all wanted to stay connected. After the SSB net, each of us would make a call out on VHF channel 69 to others in the fleet within our range to share positions and information. Those of us with email capability (most of us) were receiving a daily text weather report from Pascal at rally control. Pascal also informed us at one point about a fleet of 20-30 small boats that were rowing across the Atlantic in our area. We believe we had actually seen one a few days before hearing about them. On his watch Dennis saw a small boat with just one small white light near us - exactly the description of these rowers. We were informed that they did not want to be rescued, just avoided. As we reported in one of our enroute daily posts, we did see other boats quite frequently on this crossing - other sailboats, cruise ships, freighters. This was quite different from our experience crossing the Pacific a few years ago where we did not see one single boat of any type from the time we left the Galapagos until about 3,000 miles later when we were approaching the Marquesas and s/v Solstice - one of the boats in our small radio net - came out of the mist just ahead of us.
The seas were quite confused for much of the crossing so we did a lot of rocking and rolling, especially when the winds were light. When the winds increased to the point where we were heeling a bit, things would calm down. Dennis plotted a course that had us tacking back and forth downwind to keep our speed up to reduce the rolling but that added miles to our passage and kept us in the back of the pack. The firstmate appreciated this tactic as she never got seasick. We did have wind and sailed 99% of the way from Cape Verdes Islands to Martinique. We caught some fish, but only two that were large enough to keep; Jim made sushi for us with the wahoo; we had some of the dorado (mahi mahi) fresh the day we caught it, but froze the rest to have for our farewell dinner with our crew in Martinique. Having two extra crew really made the watches easy. We did 2 hour watches so we all got one 6 hour sleeping time slot. Even if you were the 0100 or 0300 watch, it was manageable to get up after a few hours rest and be alert for 2 hours. During the day, we would of course be making sail changes, putting up the spinnaker most mornings, sometimes wing on wing with a poled out jib. We discovered that having a telescoping spinnaker pole might have been a great addition to our boat's equipment for this voyage. We may have to look into that when we get back in November. We did a lot of reading, soduko, crossword puzzles, fishing, sharing stories, and Jim entertained us with his guitar and singalongs. All went well with our crew - it worked out very nicely. Every evening was a thrill to see what amazing meal Virginia had managed to create in the unruly seas. We crossed three more time zones, our fourth and final one at Martinique. Although we thought we had a problem with our batteries on the way to Cape Verdes, that proved to be an easy fix and we didn't have any other failure during the entire trip. Few other boats in the fleet could make that claim. Broken spinnaker poles and rigging issues were not uncommon as boats ran their full sail sets throughout the night (speed kept the uncomfortable seas minimized) and got surprised by squalls.
Wed Feb 3
Our timing for finishing was terrible. If we had had more wind the prior two days we were planning to arrive on Tuesday afternoon but the closer we got the less the wind would blow. Proceeding into the channel in the dark was highly discouraged. The winds were giving us at barely 5 knots of speed and it was clear that we would not arrive until after dark, so we took down all sails except a double reefed main and drifted at 2.5 knots for about 12 hours, crossing the finish line in Martinique at 0800 just as calculated. Since many of the boats had arrived before us, they were all on the dock waiting to greet us, but the marina staff was especially busy that day and we had to circle for over an hour before being guided to our berth. In the meantime the Rum tour bus was leaving, so our friends had to greet us later. But the tourism office and Pascal were there to welcome us with the traditional Rum punch celebration drink and Igal - the captain of Baloo who took our lines, said his hello and dashed off to the tour bus.
What a sense of accomplishment...and what a great crew!

We arrived in southern Grenada this afternoon. Our boat insurance requires that we be at least this far south for the Hurricane season. We already have the main off and folded. We are berthed at the Prickly Bay Marina (very small place) for two days to do some of our prep work and then will be hauled out likely on Wednesday or Thursday. Should be flying home within a week!

Virginia and Dennis Johns
Yesterday, Valentine's Day, we sailed to Tyrrel Bay on Carricou Island.
Next stop is Grenada. Spice Island Marine Services is closed on the weekend, but we seem to have intermittent phone service here and so we will try and call them this morning to see if they are ready for us. We will need a berth in the water for a few days to do prep and then be hauled out. We haven't had internet since leaving Martinique. Got a few email messages through on our phone yesterday, but looking forward to internet in Grenada to arrange a flight home and catch up news from family and friends.
All's well.

Canouan Island

Virginia and Dennis Johns
Made another relatively short hop today to Charlestown Bay on the island of Canouan. This is a larger bay with a town and a number of other anchored boats - nice and calm. We sailed all day which was quite pleasant. It's warmer - tempted to jump in for a swim...maybe tomorrow.
Doing these shorter legs each day will get us to Grenada probably mid week next week and then we'll need some time to prepare the boat for the hurricane season haulout - pickling water maker, taking off all sails to stow below, etc. etc.
All's well aboard.

St. Vincent

Virginia and Dennis Johns
We were wiped out last night from our long day sail from Martinique to St. Lucia. We were watching a movie with our dinner but neither of us made it to the end of the movie. We were considering spending a second night at the Laborie Bay, but it was too rolly. Also, since two other boats had come in and anchored close to us (given there wasn't a lot of room between the two shoals) Dennis felt he needed to set an alarm and check the anchor several times last night. So we headed south, but found an anchorage on St. Vincent (Petit Byahaut) rather than our long day sail to Bequia we had originally planned. This is a very quiet anchorage and we have it to ourselves. BBQing chicken tonight and hopefully getting rested up. We'll see what tomorrow brings - a day or rest or heading further south.
All's well.

Amel Maramu, 46'
Hailing Port:
Santa Barbara, California
Dennis Johns, Virginia Johns
We bought our Amel in 2000 and spent the next 11 years preparing for our retirement cruise - a westward circumnavigation. We are members of the Santa Barbara Sail and Power Squadron and have taken many of the USPS courses.
We got in some overnight practice by participating in three Baha Haha Rallies (2004, 2006, 2008) and inbetween made many trips to the Channel Islands near our home in Santa Barbara California. We started our voyage in January 2011. The first year we sailed from Santa Barbara, California down the westcoast of California, Baja, Mexico, and Central America to Golfito, Costa Rica. The second year we sailed south from Costa Rica to Panama and Ecuador and then across the Pacific to the Galapagos, many island groups of French Polynesia, ending in Bundaberg, Australia. The third year we sailed Indonesia (Sail Indonesia Rally), Malaysia (Sail Malaysia Rally), and Thailand. At the end of that season we transported Libertad from Phuket, Thailand to Turkey via Sevenstar Transport freighter. Our fourth season started in Turkey where Libertad was offloaded and cruised Turkey, Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, east coast of mainland Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, one stop on the French coast, and ended in Barcelona, Spain. At this point our plans changed as we went home to California for family needs and had a seven month hiatus, delaying our crossing of the Atlantic. This, our fifth season started off with a whirlwind land travel trip to some of the major European cities. Back on the boat in Barcelona, we headed for Gibraltar, then onto the Canaries where we will crossed the Atlantic January 2016 with Jimmy Cornell's Atlantic Odyssey II. Getting close to home.

Motivation of Participants in VWC's "Cooking for Kids" Program

|SOC 350: Introduction to Social Research
Hunger is a growing problem in the United States with low income families with children experiencing a huge shortage of food. Virginia Wesleyan College hosts a volunteer program called "Cooking for Kids" which offers students, staff, and faculty the opportunity to assist in feeding children in the Hampton Roads area by pre-packaging meals. Data was gathered through the distribution of a survey to each "Cooking for Kids" participant before their experience in the program. The results show that most student volunteers participated in the program as part of a club or organizational requirement, and that significantly more females participated in the program than males. This research will provide the Office of Community Service with data which will aid in the development of an advertising campaign that will draw a larger number of volunteers—leading to an increase in "Cooking for Kids" opportunities at Virginia Wesleyan College.

"Bennington, Vermont" Top 5 Page for this destination Bennington by SteveOSF
Bennington Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 107 photos
Bennington is in the southwestern portion of Vermont. It can be reached from Williamstown in Massachusetts by traveling north on Route 7. Bennington is one of Vermont?s larger cities.
While traveling north of Route 7 through Bennington, we decided to follow the signs leading to the covered Bridges. We found two of the five nearby covered bridges. We took time to stroll through and drive over a covered bridge. The bridges poise an interesting and pleasant site. The covered design of the bridges was originally intended to help protect the wood from moisture and thus help prevent rot and preserve the structure.

The Bridges we saw were the Henry Bridge and the Paper Mill Bridge. Both span the Walloomsac River. They had similar... more travel advice

I love vermont
Lovely place and these covered bridges have such charm. Nice page!
Thank you. Yes, started a new HP. - Beautiful photo here! Maria
The covered bridges are impressive throughout New England. My lone visit to Bennington involved an excursion to find the small battlefield of the Revolutionary War's Battle of Bennington.
love covered bridges - there are a large number hidden away in SW Vermont and as far south on US 7 as W. Cornwall in NW Connecticut.

My employer matches 2% of my contributions to my 401k but insists those contributions cannot be pre-tax. Is that correct?
It's the opposite. The match must be pretax. If you have a Roth 401(k) for example, the match goes into the traditional side of the 401(k) account, not the Roth.

With such a product, they can do hell of a better campaign than this animal shit that we're seeing now. Gosh!
Well, I guess maybe this is a scam ad, that's why it's so crappy.
Marvelous, a really appreciatable efforts from the Assyria team, Outstanding!!!!. Hope ull be more wilder in producing ur thoughts in ur future, all the very best!!!! Excellent... Looking forward to seeing more such innovative ideas. Good Luck. God bless u all.
I think that a brand like Jeep can be approached in another way. The message should be all about freedom, because that's what you are getting with the car... you are not buying a machine, you are getting the opportunity to be free, to go where no one has been before. I think that's more inspirational than a "beast inside" message. These ads looks very basic on my taste.

Getting your family around the dinner table can be a challenge. But Tricia O'Brien, Features Editor of American Baby, has some tips on how to get your family together at meal time.
Try to make dinner together part of daily life. "It's a great time to set that family routine into motion," O'Brien says. "Really drive home the point that family time is really important."
According to O'Brien, the first thing you should do, is to "embrace the chaos." If your little girl ends up with half of her food in her hair, just go with it.
Dinner should also be "a group effort." Try to give everyone a task, according to their ages. You can also try to introduce some fun at the dinner table; Play a game, for example.
Lastly, try to be flexible. If your son or daughter doesn't eat every vegetable on the plate, let it go, O'Brien says.
O'Brien also suggests that if dinner together doesn't quite match your family's schedule, family time can also be done over breakfast or lunch. And every so often, reward the kids with desert - they'll love it.

Craig Valentine holds the camera and talks his way into a number of sexy mouths by questioning the girls' oral skills and putting them to task. Sunny Lane shows off her on-camera charm. Summer Haze doesn't buy the con so easily. The rest of the girls all march their young mouths through their ball-licking paces.
But the real coup is Shayla LaVeaux. This adult industry legend doesn't need any coaxing and has all the right moves.
Retailing: Shayla LaVeaux makes a rare appearances; this is her doing oral her own way.
