The frenetic pace and the nagging of host Robert Morley—"We don't have all day, dear boy"—are off-putting. But these collections of shows from the cable TV series provide some fun as well as alluring menu suggestions. Each 60-minute tape features eight guest cooks working out their recipes while Morley, the British actor-pitchman, keeps up a steady chatter. David Brenner looks ready to dump his frozen chocolate-peanut butter torte mixture over the host's head after Morley sneers, "I don't like peanut butter." Helen Hayes displays a regal calm despite Morley's badgering. When he says, "How do you keep that lovely figure?" she scoffs, "Oh, come on." While much of the routine preparation was done off-camera, most crucial steps are shown and the dishes look delicious. Rita Moreno concocts a hearty Cuban beef stew, Lynn Redgrave does an English kedgeree (shredded fish with rice), former baseball pitcher Tug McGraw barbecues lamb chops with goat cheese in grape leaves, and an all-business Phyllis Diller deftly works up a salmon en papillote with a dill-port-cream sauce. Phylicia Rashad, Dick Cavett, Willard Scott, Maria Gibbs of 227, Rene Auberjonois of Benson, Tony Randall, Carol Channing, Van Johnson and Geoffrey Holder are the other guests. Even Johnson, who seems the least at ease in the kitchen, is in fact a serious chef, and all these people are more impressive as cooks than the guests on Celebrity Bowling were as bowlers.

Private tutoring – a shadow education system? International study now available in Nepali
A UNESCO publication that will certainly contribute to the debate on public and private education in Nepal is now available in Nepali. Authored by Mark Bray, a former Director of UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP), the book "Confronting the shadow education system: What government policies for what private tutoring?" is free for downloading under the title" छायां शिक्षा प्रणालीको सामना: कस्ता निजी ट्युसन, कस्ता सरकारी नीति ?"
Bray's study focuses on the so-called shadow education system of private supplementary tutoring. In parts of Eastern Asia in particular, such tutoring has long existed on a large scale. It is now becoming increasingly evident in other parts of Asia and Africa, Europe and North America. Pupils commonly receive fee-free education in public schools and then at the end of the day and/or during week-ends and vacations receive supplementary tutoring in the same subjects on a fee-paying basis.
The publication begins by surveying the scale, nature and implications of the shadow education system in a range of setting. Then it identifies possible government responds to the phenomenon. It encourages a proactive approach through which government determine which type of tutoring they consider desirable and which types are problematic, and then design appropriate policies.
The book has already been translated into French, Arabic, Urdu, Mongol, Korean, Georgian, Hindi and Bengali. All these language versions are available for free downloading from unesdoc database. http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/resources/online-materials/publications/unesdoc-database/

One of the most popular and sought after procedures at Sellers Plastic Surgery, and one in which we pride ourselves in our experience, results, and patient satisfaction, is the "Mommy Makeover". This combination of procedures to the upper body is designed to reshape a woman into her "pre-mommy" form as much as possible.
Our standard makeover includes removing excess fat from the back, flanks, hips and abdomen, thru VASER liposuction, along with a circumferential body lift (you can see the description of these procedures elsewhere in this section of the website). Breast rejuvenation is usually done as well, if needed, on a separate operative day (the cost of the mommy makeover does not include the breast surgery as it is not always needed).
The Mommy Makeover is an extensive operation requiring physical preparation and mental preparedness on the patient's part. The results are usually stunning!
Mommy Makeover Recovery:
The limiting component of the whole procedure is that of the abdominoplasty. One must avoid straining the abdominal muscles for 6 weeks. Bruising from the liposuction component is common. Drains are placed for several weeks.
Mommy Makeover Precations:
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), or blood clots, in the leg veins is always a concern in long operations, however it is rare and we give you every tool possible to try and avoid this concern. Wound healing is another concern, however great efforts are made to minimize these risks.

Plants & Animals
The geology of the park greatly affects the flora and fauna. Most sites above the escarpment are on the High Plains and are short-grass prairie, which includes blue grama, buffalograss and sideoats grama. The canyons in the western portion of the park support several species of juniper as well as scrub oak. The bottomland sites along the Little Red River and its tributaries support tall and mid-level grasses including Indian grass, Canada wildrye and little bluestem, cottonwood trees, wild plum thickets and hackberries. The park abounds with wildflowers in the spring and has a variety of yuccas and multiflowering cacti.
Over 12,000 years ago these lands supported now-extinct mammoth and giant bison, as well as camel and horses in a damper, cooler climate. More recently, black bears and grey wolves made their home in the region, but by the 1950s, they were forced out due to predator control by humans. Now mule and white-tailed deer, coyotes and bobcats are common with a few pronghorn antelope roaming these canyonlands.
The park is also home to the Texas State Bison Herd (the largest herd of buffalo in the state park system). In September 2011, 80 descendants of the great southern plains bison herd were released to a larger habitat of 1,000 acres of grasslands in the park. Visitors can view these indigenous animals in their native habitat.
Small mammals such as grey fox, raccoon and jackrabbits make their home here. There is also a great diversity of reptiles with 14 species of lizards including collared lizards and over 30 species of snakes including prairie rattlesnakes. The area hosts some 175 species of birds including roadrunners, red-tailed hawks and the rarely seen golden eagle. Lake Theo, created by the damming of Holmes Creek, is utilized by waterfowl as a permanent water source.

The rugged beauty of Caprock Canyons State Park has been created over millions of years, shaped by wind and water. The park is located along the Caprock Escarpment, a long, narrow rocky formation as high as 1,000 feet that forms a natural transition between the flat, high plains of the Llano Estacado to the west and the lower Rolling Plains to the east. Streams flowing east from the Llano Estacado flow onto the lower plains through the Caprock Escarpment, then into the Red, Brazos and Colorado rivers. With a downcutting action, tributary drainages of the Little Red River have exposed geologic layers in the park down to the Permian age Quartermaster formation, formed approximately 280-250 million years ago. These layers are commonly referred to as "red beds" because of the red coloration of their constituent shales, sandstones, siltstones and mudstones. Each of the geologic ages exposed by this headwater drainage erosion is characterized by different colorations including shades of red, orange and white. The park's steep and colorful canyons and bluffs are the breathtaking result of this powerful natural process.
From the eastern to the western border of the park, elevation increases from 2,180 to 3,180 feet above mean sea level for a maximum relief of 1,000 feet. Most of this area contains exposed, red sandstones and siltstones belonging to the Quartermaster formation of the Permian Age.

Who We Are
Centuries ago in Europe, many religious scholars concluded that the Divine was a single Unity (not a three part trinity). They called themselves Unitarians. Others determined that a truly benevolent Spirit would universally love all souls despite their failings, not punish them for eternity. They became Universalists. In 1961 in the U. S., these traditions united.
Today Unitarian Universalism still honors these roots. It has also grown beyond them to draw spiritual wisdom and inspiration wherever it's encountered: in writings and poetry ancient and modern; in nature and art; in human acts of compassion and justice. View our Six Sources.
Our "free faith" doesn't subscribe to a static creed, because human understanding is ever-evolving. This allows us to fully embrace modern knowledge, and at the same time open our hearts to the one sacred force that animates all religious expressions.
This unfolding quest broadens our minds. It helps us to live loving lives and deal with life's hardships. And it stirs our desire to create a more harmonious and sustainable world. View our Seven Principles.
If you resonate with these values, we hope you will grace us with a visit to a Sunday service or a social event. It's quite possible that you will be very glad you did.

Sunday, Sept. 25: "Autumn – A Shared-Pulpit Service"
Erik Felker
Autumn is a rich season of endings and beginnings, darkness and light, memory and activity. Join us to explore what this can mean in our lives.
Sunday, Oct. 2: "The 3 Rs: Resistance, Resilience & Redemption"
Rev. Farriday
Engaging the biggest moral issues of our time takes a strong spirit. Aspects of such strength include building Resistance to any voices (inner or outer) that try to undermine our determination to create a better world; and generating the Resilience to bounce back if we undergo a setback. When these are robust we experience our power to make a positive difference. In doing so we are redeemed—and redeem a portion of our world.
Sunday, Oct. 9: "Repentance and Repair"
Rev. Farriday
Yom Kippur—the Day of Atonement—is considered the most important holiday in the Jewish faith. Falling this year at sundown on October 11, it marks the end of ten days of introspection and repentance that follow Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Many modern Unitarian Universalists don't give a lot of thought to repentance and atonement… but this Sunday we'll consider how these widespread religious themes can add depth, healing and freedom to our lives.
Sunday, Oct. 16: Description will be posted soon.
Sunday, Oct. 23: Description will be posted soon.
Sunday, Oct. 30: "Day of the Dead"
Rev. Farriday
On this autumnal Sunday we gather to remember, mourn and celebrate our dear departed. In true UU fashion we'll honor Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) native to Mexico, while recalling that this coincides with the Christian All Saints Day (11/1) and All Souls Day (11/2). And of course Samhain (pr. SOW-een)—now aka Halloween— is one of the major Wiccan festivals. You are invited to bring photos or mementos of deceased loved ones for our altar, as well as any Halloween pumpkins (carved or not) you may have.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Change has come quickly to the Eagles defense.
On their first day of practice Thursday, there was rookie Casey Matthews calling the plays at middle linebacker; Juan Castillo, a first-time coordinator, directing the show; new coaches leading every position group; and a new scheme that players gleefully said emphasizes attacking from the front four.
And that was before the arrival of big new pieces at defensive end and cornerback.
"It's totally different," said defensive end Darryl Tapp, now in his second year with the Eagles but a relative old man on this defense.
"Last year we were more of a 'read' kind of defense," he said. "This year they're just letting us go, especially on the defensive line."

Discovering the best shape for your eyebrows without sacrificing their natural appearance is what you want to accomplish when shaping your brows. Pencil thin or overly bushy eyebrows are dated looks that can be distracting rather than enhancing.
Just as the shape of a mustache can drastically change the appearance of a man's face, the shape of the eyebrows affects the appearance of the eyes. In many ways, the overall appearance of the eye area is defined by the arch, length, and thickness of the eyebrow.
There are two methods for creating the perfect brow, shaping it by removing unwanted hair or filling in a sparse or blonde brow.
Perfectly Shaped Eyebrows: The shape of the eyebrow is correct when the beginning of the brow is aligned with the center of the nostril and the arch falls over the back third of the eye.
L-Shaped Brow
Problem: The arch is over the front third of the eye.
Solution: Grow in or color in the indicated area.
U-Shaped Brow
Problem: The eyebrow has no arch.
Solution: Grow in or color in the indicated area.
Over-Extended Brow (back)
Problem: The back third of the brow is lower than the front third of the brow.
Solution: Grow in or color in the indicated area and tweeze the end of the brow to align it with the front of the brow.
Over-Extended Brow (front)
Problem: The front third of the brow is lower than the back third of the brow.
Solution: Tweeze the front of the brow to align it with the back of the brow.
1. Before you start tweezing, use a lip or brow pencil to heavily draw on the shape you want; you can adjust it with makeup remover as you decide on the shape you want to create.
2. Once the shape is drawn on, tweeze any hairs that fall outside the line of the brow.
3. Next, brush the brows straight up with an old toothbrush.
4. Any hairs that are too long and floppy should be trimmed with small scissors. Tweezing long brow hairs rather than trimming them can result in gaps in the eyebrow or create a patchy appearance.
There are many ways to fill in a brow. The easiest to consider are:
Brow Powders or powder eyeshadows in shades that closely match the color of your brow. Choose a soft-textured matte powder and apply with a soft wedge brush or a thin liner brush.
Begin application in the center of the brow and work outward toward the brow tip then back toward the beginning of the brow. Use short, light strokes between the brow hairs, and apply a bit more pressure (for stronger color) when defining the underside of the brow. Use a clean toothbrush (or a brow brush, which is similar but more expensive) to soften the color and groom the brow. For unruly brows, a clear brow gel may be applied to keep hairs in place. Alternately, you may apply a bit of hairspray to the toothbrush, and comb this through the brow for hold and control.
Eyebrow pencils are a standard way to fill in brows but many can produce a greasy, hard look or mat the brow hair, so make sure you use a pencil that has a smooth, light texture and soft, dry finish. If penciling doesn't look absolutely natural, don't do it.
Follow the same application technique described under brow powders when using an eyebrow pencil. Keep in mind that most brow pencils deposit stronger color than a powder, so take care to use a light touch. If you apply too much color, soften the effect with a Q-Tip that has been dipped in makeup remover. Do not apply eyebrow pencil too close to the inner brow (near the nose). Adding more than a bit of color here tends to create a too-strong or angry-looking brow.
Colored eyebrow gels and brow tints work well for making the most of sparse, light-colored eyebrows or for giving a thicker look to most other eyebrows. These products look like mascara but they have a much lighter consistency and are less pigmented. At first, you might have trouble controlling the amount of gel or tint you apply to your brow, but once you get the hang of it, brow gel or tint can make sparse brows look full and more natural.
When applying eyebrow gels and tints, follow the basic instructions for powder eyebrow colors and eyeshadows listed above, but concentrate on the brow hair and not applying any on the skin. Be patient, it requires practice before you can easily shape and shade the brows without getting it on the skin. If the brush of your brow gel or tint is dual-sided (most are), know that the longer bristles are great for combing through the brows when hairs are normal to long in length. The short-bristled side is for more detailed work or for use on shorter, thin, or over-tweezed brows.
A combination approach, using a pencil with powder, can give you the control and delineation of a pencil, and the softer, shaded look of a powder. You can also use powder with a brow gel or tint; this can create a full softly shaped brow. You can try shaping the brow with the powder first and then finish the detail work with the pencil or brow gel. This is especially helpful if you have bald spots in your eyebrow or need to slightly extend the end of your brows so they frame your eyes better.
The answer is yes and no. Tweezed eyebrow hairs can grow back but this doesn't happen overnight. Hairs on different parts of the body have variable rates of growth. It takes about 64 days for eyebrow hair to grow in after it is plucked. However, the length of time can be longer if the hair or hairs you want to grow back are in their resting phase.
At any given time, 90% of the hair on your body is in a resting phase where it has stops growing, falls out, and then starts growing again. If that's the case (and there is no way to know which hairs are in the resting phase and which aren't), then the length of time can be far greater, so you need to be patient.
There is an exception to this: If you have been tweezing the same area for a long time it may be too late. Eyebrow hair is very sensitive to injury. Repeated plucking can permanently damage the hair root, which will prevent the hair from ever growing back (Sources: www.keratin.com and Archives of Facial and Plastic Surgery, July-September 1999, pages 223-224).
An interesting bit of information: The average number of days it takes for hair to fully grow back after being plucked from various parts of the body are 129 days for the scalp, 123 for under arm, 121 for the thigh, 92 for the chin, and 64 for the eyebrows. Unfortunately for women, hairs of the scalp regenerate more quickly for males than females, but hairs of the under arm and thigh regenerate more quickly in females than males (Source: www.keratin.com).

For two nights, prominent business, civic, and entertainment leaders showed off their singing, dancing and comedy skills to put the "fun" back in "fundraising" for the Tower Theatre Foundation.
It was the second annual Bend Follies, a variety show about Bend, by Bend, and for Bend.
"The Follies were designed to showcase the important role the nonprofit Tower Foundation plays in the cultural life of Central Oregon," said Bob Singer, chair of the Tower's board of directors. "And a good way to spread that serious message is through a comedy show; one that opens one night, and closes the next!" concluded Singer.
Follies hosts Chuck Arnold (Downtown Bend Business Association) and Maralyn Thoma (2nd Street Theater), led a cast of nearly 90 volunteer performers, including: employees of Deschutes Brewery, McMenamin's, Atlas Cider; Chamber of Commerce Board; Bend City Council; Bend Bachata and U'Hane Hawaii Hula dancers; Belegarth Medieval Combat Society; cast of "Les Miserables'; NewsChannel 21's Alicia Inns and Lee Anderson; KQAK's Dave Clemens; Saxon's Jewelers' Ron Henderson and Emily Brinegar; Kristi Miller; Tom DeWolf; and many others.
"Everyone left the Follies feeling good about Bend, the Tower, their talented friends and neighbors – and with very little money left in their wallets," said Tower Foundation director of development Todd Dickerson. "And that's what I call a successful fundraiser!"
Specifically, the Follies (April 25 and 26) raised $37,000 through donations, auctions, ticket sales, a guitar and mandolin raffle, and cash "votes" for gratuitous standing ovations.
Ray Solley, executive director of the Tower Foundation, announced the 2015 Follies will be April 24 and 25. "We've already started writing song parodies and Bended News stories. We want to make Bend laugh in the worst way," Solley said.
The Tower Theatre Foundation owns and operates the historic stage in downtown Bend. The Foundation's mission is to provide performing arts, civic, educational and social events that enliven and enrich the lives of all Central Oregonians. Individual and group tickets are available at the box office (835 NW Wall), by phone (541-317-0700) or online (www.towertheatre.org).

One of the unsuccessful applicants for the Central Maui state Senate seat vacated by Shan Tsutsui has filed a complaint with the state Democratic Party chairman about the process to name a successor, assailing the process as "blatant arrogance" and unfair.
Cliff R. Libed, one of seven applicants for the state Senate District 5 seat, said Friday that four of the applicants were members of the district Democratic Party nominating committee and were allowed to vote in the process to name three candidates from which Gov. Neil Abercrombie would choose Tsutsui's successor. Those candidates chose to proxy their three votes with other members of the committee, Libed said he learned from an unnamed "reliable source."
He also said that Kallie Keith-Agaran, wife of another applicant, Gil Keith-Agaran, was allowed to vote for her husband. Keith-Agaran was eventually selected by Abercrombie to fill the open seat, created by the ascension of Tsutsui to lieutenant governor in a domino effect of appointments and vacancies created by the death of U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye on Dec. 17.

CLIFF R. LIBED, filed a complaint with the state Democratic Party chairman
"This would appear to be a conflict of interest" for those five applicants and created "an unfair disadvantage" to him and another applicant, Nicanor E. Casumpang Jr., Libed wrote in his appeal Sunday to Hawaii Democratic Party Chairman Dante Carpenter.
"We're not stupid, but they treat us like we're stupid," Libed said Friday when contacted by The Maui News. "I think it was arrogant the way it was conducted."
Maui County Democratic Party officials reached Friday stood by their process that allowed members of the committee to vote for themselves and for their spouses. They said they were following party rules and precedence from the process to select Inouye's replacement and noted that the rules and the names of nominating committee members were handed out to all applicants prior to the vote Jan. 5, leaving open the option of an appeal to Carpenter.
Party leaders also encouraged those unhappy with the selection rules to join the process and drum up support to change those rules at the county party convention.
"I didn't see anything wrong with it (the process)," said Justin Hughey, the District 5 State Senate Ad-hoc Nominating Committee chairman. "None of these things are against the party rules."
He said that all the rules were agreed to by the committee and that they tried to mirror as much as possible the process used by the state Democratic Party Central Committee in providing the governor with three names to fill Inouye's seat, which ended up going to then-Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz.
Troy Hashimoto, corresponding secretary for the Maui County Democratic Party, noted that Tony Gill, a member of the Democratic Party Central Committee, was permitted to vote for himself in the U.S. Senate selection process.
He added that the four applicants who were on the committee by virtue of being precinct officers and leaders - Loretta Giannotti, Robert George Hill III, Natalie A. "Tasha" Kama and Mary D. Wagner - were not allowed in the discussion, only to cast votes for three candidates.
"We do feel that it was a fair process, following the processes that were set forth," Hashimoto said. "We looked at the process over and over again, and we followed the process correctly."
When asked if the candidates could have recused themselves from voting, Hashimoto said that they had that option.
He continued that those who are upset with the rules to fill a legislative vacancy midterm, which occurs very infrequently, should "get involved" and add a rule to preclude applicants for a post from being able to vote for themselves.
"We encourage those who feel it should be changed to come out and get involved in the party," Hashimoto said.
He said that there are no clear rules of appeal in the selection process, but Carpenter could send Libed's appeal to the state party Central Committee, which would have the final say. He did note that there is a party rule that an appeal has to be filed within five days of the action that is being appealed.
Libed said that the selection process created "an unfair advantage" for the four precinct leaders and Keith-Agaran. He said disclosures of potential conflicts of interest should have been made and that they should not have been allowed to proxy or to cast votes.
"To me, it's a violation of ethics," he said.
At this point, Libed said that he just wants his appeal heard and the process examined.
"The outcome is not my decision," he said.
Libed wanted to make clear that he harbors no ill will toward Gil Keith-Agaran, whom he called an "upstanding citizen."
For his part, Keith-Agaran said that he hopes that his wife "did vote for me."
"I think they (the nominating committee) followed the rules," he said, noting that a similar situation occurred when he was appointed to fill the vacancy in the state House after the death of Bob Nakasone.
He said he was a member of the selection panel and was eventually appointed to replace Nakasone.
"I don't think what happened this time is any different from what we've done in the past," he said, adding that he got 30 of the 36 votes of the committee.
Keith-Agaran didn't see any problem with voting for himself.
"I don't think anyone can say I can't vote for myself when I go into a voting booth," he said. "That is silly.
"I hope my wife would vote for me, my mother would vote for me, my sister would vote for me. That is the nature of elections."

A new storm brewing As I wrote in an earlier post this weekend, a very light snow could move into the southeastern part of Michigan this evening.
With the current projected track, the heaviest band of snow could be centered over Ann Arbor and Detroit.I do want to emphasize that the storm track can still change some. Any changes more than 60 miles can have a big difference in the amount of snow expected.
How much snow can be expected?
I know you want to know. No way would we meteorologists give you an exact number right now. You'd hold us to it, and we wouldn't be able to change our minds. But I will do this. I'll show you what one of our best computer models says for liquid equivalent. That means if snow was melted into water, how much water would it be.
Watch for updates
I, along with a lot of my fellow meteorologists, feel like we should give you ample heads up on coming storms. So we try to forecast probably before we should.
My point here is this could be a significant storm as far as post-holiday travel goes. I'll keep you updated over the next 24 hours as to the trend of this storm.
If this storm affects many states, and Washington D.C., will legislators use it as an excuse to continue delaying talks on the fiscal cliff?

[QUOTE=YogaBare;1049605]I second the meetup.com suggestion. It's a brilliant way to meet new people, and has the added advantages of 1) you already have stuff in common with them, 2) they are probably looking for new friends too.
It's also worth really thinking about what you're interested in. You can find groups for just about everything.
Also, if you're not totally adverse to it, there is a great self help book called "Feel the Fear and do it anyway". It's all about learning to recognise the negative chatter in your head, and separate yourself from it. It also makes you realise that everyone has these thoughts, and that some people have learned to overcome them. I read it when I was 23 (I used to have massive social anxiety) and it helped me a lot.
Your post was really moving btw. Thanks for your openness. And well done on the weight loss![/QUOTE]
Thanks a lot, YogaBare, for the suggestions and compliments. :) Yeah, I'll def look hard into the meetup group thing. I'll also see if that book you're talking about is in my local library, sounds like something I'd like to give a shot.
[QUOTE=sbhikes;1049866]I just watched a movie on Hulu called "Craigslist Joe". If you are able to watch that movie it might give you some interesting ideas.
I'll see if that movie is available where I'm at. If not on Hulu, than maybe Netflix or Amazon Prime (as I have access to both). Thanks for the suggestion :)

You're ready to move to a new apartment after dealing with a multitude of problems from noisy neighbors to rodent trouble. But, is your wallet ready for the expense? Here is a list of common moving expenses to budget for.
- Moving Materials: The first step to moving (after finding your new apartment of course) is packing up your current apartment to move to the next. Unfortunately, unless you know someone with a bunch of boxes lying around, you will have to purchase these things yourself. A few of these items could include boxes, storage containers, packing tape, bubble wrap, etc. – all of which can get costly in large quantities.
- Transportation and Help: Of course, you could always assemble your moving team and transportation by bribing your friends with free pizza. However, if you're moving out-of-state or can't find enough help, you'll need ot hire a professional moving company that can move your belongings quickly and efficiently.
- Apartment Fees: Moving into a new apartment usually requires a financial commitment past the rent payments. Often landlords wil require a security deposit equal to one month's rent and possibly even a move-in fee to hold the apartment. Also, don't forget about application fees, administration fees and pet fees. You could end up paying $1,000-$2,000 (or more) in fees alone.
- Replacement Costs: Moving can be a messy business and if something gets damaged in your current apartment beyond the amount of your security deposit, you may have to shell out extra cash to cover those costs. Of course, not everyone will be faced with these extra expenses, but it's better to plan ahead than to be scraping for cash later.
- Renters Insurance: While this may not seem like a necessary expense, it is quickly becoming so as many landlords are adding renters insurance as a requirement in the lease terms – plus, it protects you in case something goes wrong down the road.
These costs can vary greatly due to where you are currently living, how much you are moving and how far you'll be going. To ensure that you'll be able to afford the move , start with a moving quote, add in projected fees and begin saving toward that goal. What other moving expenses have you incurred in the past?

Eddy Grant
stands among an elite group of artists as one who has not just merely moved successfully across the musical spectrum, but has actually been at the forefront of genres and even created one of his own. From pop star to reggae radical, musical entrepreneur to the inventor of ringbang, the artist has cut a swath through the world of music and made it his own.
Born in Plaisance, Guyana, on March 5, 1948, the young
Edmond Grant
grew up on the sound of his homeland, tan singing, an Indo-Caribbean vocal style whose roots lay in South Asia and are the backbone of modern chutney. Then in 1960, the Grant family emigrated to England, taking up residence in the working-class Stoke Newington area of London. The young teen's musical horizons swiftly expanded, embracing the R&B, blues, and rock that percolated across his new island home.
In 1965,
formed his first band,
the Equals
, and long before the days of 2-Tone, the group was unique in being the first of Britain's multi-racial bands to receive any recognition. The West Indian contingent comprised Jamaican-born singer
Lincoln Gordon
, with his twin brother Derv and
both on guitar, while the rhythm section of bassist Patrick Lloyd and drummer
John Hall
were native-born white Englishmen. Like most of the teenaged bands roaming the capital at the time,
the Equals
cut their teeth on the club and pub circuit and finally inked a label deal with President Records in early 1967. Their debut single, "I Won't Be There," didn't crack the charts but did receive major radio support. This, alongside an expanding fan base wowed by their live shows, pushed their first album,
Unequaled Equals
, into the U.K. Top Ten. At the request of his label,
had also been working with the Pyramids, the British group who had backed
Prince Buster
on his recent U.K. tour. Besides composing songs for the band (and one for
himself, the rude classic "Rough Rider"),
also produced several tracks, including the band's debut single and sole hit, "Train to Rainbow City." In 1968,
the Equals
scored their own hit with "I Get So Excited," the group's debut into the Top 50. Although their follow-up album,
Equals Explosion
, proved less successful than its predecessor, as did the next single, the quintet's career was indeed about to explode. "Hold Me Closer" may have disappointed in the U.K., where it stalled at a lowly number 50, but in Germany, the single was flipped over and "Baby Come Back" released as the A-side. It swiftly soared to the top of the German charts, a feat repeated across Europe. Later that spring, a reissued British single finally received its just due and reached number one. Even the U.S. took notice, sending the single into the lower reaches of the Top 40. Sadly, this turned out to be a flash in the pan.
The Equals
' follow-up single, "Laurel and Hardy" died at number 35; its successor did even worse, while their new album,
Sensational Equals
, didn't even make the charts. New hope arrived when "Viva Bobby Joe" shot into the Top Ten in the summer of 1969, but its follow-up, "Rub a Dub Dub," just scraped into the Top 35. Understandable, considering
the Equals
' roller coaster of ups and downs,
now turned his attention elsewhere.
In 1970, he started up his own specialty record label, Torpedo, concentrating on British reggae artists. He also utilized the label as a home for a brief solo career under the alias Little Grant, releasing the single "Let's Do It Together." But the artist hadn't given up on
the Equals
yet, and good thing too. Later that year, their new 45, "Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys," slammed the group back into the Top Ten. And then, the unimaginable happened. On New Year's day in 1971,
, all of 23 years old, suffered a heart attack and a collapsed lung. If lifestyle played a part, it wasn't because he drank, took drugs, smoked, or ate meat; it was due to
's only vice -- a hectic schedule. He quit the group at this point and
the Equals
soldiered on into the shadows without him. He sold Torpedo as well and with the proceeds opened up his own recording studio, The Coach House, in 1972.
continued to produce other artists and release their records through his newly launched Ice label, but his own musical talents were seemingly left behind. It wasn't until 1977 when
finally released a record of his own, the
Message Man
album. It was three years in the making and a stunning about-face from his previous pop persona, even if "Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys" had suggested a change was imminent. Tracks like "Cockney Black," "Race Hate," and "Curfew" were politicized dark masterpieces laced with aggression and anger. But the album also included some lighter moments, including "Hello Africa," which featured a sound that the media hadn't even invented a word for yet.
dubbed it "kaisoul," an amalgamation of kaiso (the traditional word for calypso) and soul. Caribbean legend
Lord Shorty
, the acknowledged inventor of this new crossover hybrid, labeled it solka. Neither term stuck, however, once the Trinidad and Tobago press came up with their own label: soca. But regardless of what it was called, the style was just one of many hybrids that
was entertaining.
Message Man
may have proved a commercial failure, but that didn't dim the artist's vision for one second.
Two more years passed while
wrestled with its follow-up in the studio, composing, producing, and performing virtually the entire album himself. The end result was 1979's
Walking on Sunshine
, one of the greatest albums of the decade. While the B-side featured a clutch of seminal musical hybrids, the centerpiece of the album's A-side was "Living on the Frontline," a dancefloor classic that blended tough lyrics with an electronic sheen, a sense of optimism, and a funk-fired sound. Released as a single, the song roared up the British chart, while becoming a cult hit in U.K. clubs. Inexplicably, the album itself didn't chart at all, nor did its follow-up, 1980's
Love in Exile
. However, in the next year,
finally cracked the market wide open with
Can't Get Enough
, which finally breached the Top 40. His singles' success had continued uninterrupted across "Do You Feel My Love," "Can't Get Enough of You," and "I Love You, Yes I Love You." A phenomenal live album,
Live at Notting Hill
, was recorded in August 1981 during London's Notting Hill Carnival. The following year's
Killer on the Rampage
slew its way into both the British and American charts, where it landed at number ten. The album spun off "I Don't Wanna Dance," which topped the chart in the U.K., while the exhilarating "Electric Avenue," from his next album,
Going for Broke
, landed at number two on both sides of the Atlantic.
Nothing else would equal these dizzying heights. Three more singles followed by the end of 1984, but none managed to break into the Top 40. In the U.S., only one, "Romancing the Stone," actually made the chart, charming its way into a respectable berth just outside the Top 25. That was his final showing in the U.S. On both sides of the Atlantic, 1987's
Born Tuff
and the following year's
File Under Rock
were passed over by the record-buying public. However, the British gave the artist one last Top Ten hit in 1988 with "Gimme Hope Jo'anna," a highlight of his 1990
Barefoot Soldier
album. Unfortunately, its 1992 follow-up, Painting of the Soul, went the way of its last few predecessors.
By then, the artist had long ago left the U.K., having emigrated to Barbados a decade earlier. Even as his own career had taken off back in England,
was spending much of his time mentoring a new generation of soca talent. He opened a new studio, Blue Wave, and lavished most of his attention on it, which explains the gap in his output between 1984 and 1987. By the time "Jo'anna" had fallen off the chart,
was well on the way to creating his own mini-empire. Besides giving new stars-to-be a helping hand,
also moved into music publishing, specializing in calypso's legends. Over the years, Ice has thrilled the world by making the back catalog of multitudes of stars available:
Lord Kitchener
, Roaring Lion, and
Mighty Sparrow
, to name a few. And almost uniquely among Caribbean artists,
has maintained control over his own music, and Ice, of course, has kept it available. Across
's solo career, the artist has continued to experiment with different styles in ever-changing combinations. Pop, funk, new wave, reggae, Caribbean, African, and even country have all been melded into his sound. 1992's Painting of the Soul was heavy with island influences, while the next year's
Soca Baptism
is a collection of covers, from hits to obscurities, all dosed with a modern sound.
By this time,
was hard at work in the evolution of yet another hybrid style: ringbang. Many of the genre's elements are easily found in the artist's earlier recordings, from African rhythms to military tattoos, alongside soca itself and dancehall rhythms, many of the latter influenced by
's own previous work. The new style debuted in 1994 at the Barbados Crop Over festival. Since then, the style has continued to intrigue, but has yet to create the international success that it's always threatened. Much of this can be laid at
's own door, through a simmering dispute with other artists and the legal ramifications of the genre's trademark. A vociferous supporter of artists' rights,
first ran into trouble in 1996 when he demanded his label's artists receive adequate copyright fees from Trinidad and Tobabgo's Carnival. A heroic stance that infuriated the festival's organizers, this was quickly overshadowed by the public outcry over soca itself. As far as T&T was concerned, the inventor of soca was island native
Lord Shorty
, who announced its birth in 1978 with the
Soca Explosion
album. However,
insists otherwise, crediting his own "Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys" as the first-ever soca record. Needless to say, his public proclamations of this fact continue to infuriate T&T and other
supporters. But politics aside, the greater factor may be in ringbang's trademark. Once
filed it, the word could no longer be used by other artists without express permission. A perusal of any soca, calypso, or chutney hits collection shows the importance of the use of the genre term to the actual song, and just how many titles feature the term. By preventing artists from using the word ringbang, few outside the Ice stable were willing to explore the genre. Even so,
managed to organize the Ringbang Celebration 2000 as part of T&T's millennium festivities. The event, which went off without a hitch, created further ill will due to its price tag, a whopping 41 million (6.5 million dollars in U.S. currency). The artist himself performed two songs at the event.
In the new year, he recorded a new version of one of them, "East Dry River," while in Jamaica, appropriately enough in a ska style. The previous year, the artist released the
Hearts & Diamonds
album, with
following in 2006.
continues to make an impact on both sides of the studio, with his music always an intriguing concoction of sound and his studio work equally innovative. Ice itself is equally instrumental in the music world, both in its preservation of past legacies and its attention to new artists.

Making handmade books is easy and fun to do. Here are some simple ideas for books that the children can make with you!
We recently had a fun homeschooling session making some little blank books for our homeschooling activities.
We use little blank books all the time - for story writing, journaling, note-taking, scrapbooking or just doodling. I always try to make sure we have attractive books around for the children to grab when the creative urge strikes.
A pile of fresh new notebooks, felt-pens and stickers seems irresistible to children!
Making little blank books is easy and the children can help make their own. Here are our favorite methods.
The simplest and most rewarding type of notebook to make is to fold A5/Letter sized paper in half and staple down the edge. Fold carefully to make sure all the edges match.
Four or five pages makes a book just big enough for a child's illustrated story!
I like to buy boxes of cheap notecards to use as covers, but cardstock also works well. These little books make nice gifts for homeschooling friends!
Another fun way to make your own notebooks is to use brown paper bags as the cover.
Cut down the long edges of the bag so it will open. Refold the bottom of the bag so the fold is hidden inside the covers. Use this fold to staple your paper to.
We love to leave the handles on our paper bag books. They are great to grab as you head out of the house. Mobile notebooks!
Be imaginative in your book making. A special cover inspires special writing or drawing! Almost anything can become a cover - fabric, leaves, pieces of bark.
We like to make little fabric books - cut pieces of plain fabric with pinking shears and sew down one edge. As well as writing - these fabric books are good for sewing in!
If you enjoyed making simple notebooks, why not take it further and try some book binding. There are some nice kits available on Amazon to get you started.Homeschooling-Ideas › Kids Craft Ideas › Making Books with Children

Friday, January 10, 2014
The Medal of Honor Bowl players stand at midfield in uniform rows, stretching and warming up before practice to fight the cold. Their conditioning coach weaves through the lines directing the exercises, face hidden by a hoodie with a hat underneath.
Everyone mimics the movements he demonstrates. They listen closely as he instructs, and for good reason. Under the hood is Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene.
When Medal of Honor Bowl Executive Director Brian Woods needed a strength and conditioning coach for this week's event, he turned to an old friend.
Greene won two gold medals in the 2000 Sydney Olympics in the 100-meter and 100 relay, setting a world record in the 100. He added a silver and bronze medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics and is a five-time World Championships gold medalist.
"Everything that this stands for in honoring the Medal of Honor, the Wounded Warriors and the United States, I wanted to be a part of it," Greene said. "(Woods) knows I've been coaching and training a lot of football players. I love being around the sport. I love being around the players and I thought it would be fun."
Since retiring in 2008, Greene has transitioned into training athletes. He spent a year volunteering with the UCLA track team but lately is focused on the personal training with track athletes and football players.
This week, he's helping 92 football prospects prepare for their upcoming audition for the NFL. Greene's main responsibilities include helping players stretch and warm up properly but several have reached out to him for help with their speed training.
National team cornerback Steven Clarke (Vanderbilt) is a former high school track star. He and Greene formed a natural bond over track and have talked about continuing training together as Clarke tries to make the NFL. The 40-yard dash is one of the most popular measures of a defensive back prospect. Clarke says having someone on his side once known as the world's fastest man could be a big advantage.
"It's unique having him watch you," Clarke said. "Getting ready to run a 40 is like preparing for a track meet. You have different techniques and stuff. He knows those different types of techniques. He was one of the world's fastest. He knows all those things to tweak and help you run as fast as you can."
Greene roams the sidelines during practice. He lets the football coaches do the coaching while he keeps an eye on the players' movements. He watches how they run, move out of breaks, when they accelerate — different things that could give them an edge. One of the best to ever run is there to make sure the prospects are ready to take the field and anything else they need, he's open to help.
"The most important part it the technical part of it," he said. "There's a lot of talent out here. There are only so many spots so they all have to do their best and do what it takes to try and get to the next level.
"I'm just here to make sure they're ready. Any other questions they have for me, they can come and ask or talk to me about anything. I told them I'm here for them."
The Medal of Honor Bowl kicks off 2 p.m. Saturday at Johnson Hagood Stadium. Tickets are available at www.mohbowl.com or www.etix.com. The game will be broadcast live on SportsRadio 1450 AM and www.charlestonsportsradio.com. Follow @fjmansfield //

President Obama's nominee for Secretary of Health is one such example. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has clashed with the Catholic church over abortion.
Journalist Julia Duin wrote about Sebelius' conflict between belief and politics in a recent article in the Washington Times.
Duin spoke to CBN News about whether pro-choice politicians will eventually have to give up their faith or become pro-life.

There was nary a protest Tuesday at city hall when the Amarillo city commission opened a portion of its regular meeting for a public hearing on a proposed tax hike.
But if the commission approves the increase of two cents to a rate of 34 cents per $100 of taxable property, rest assured, there will be some howling.
The meeting began at 5;30 p.m., making it easier for interested citizens to attend to ask questions, offer comment, or gather information on the proposed tax increase. But it was one of three things:
1) not interested in the issue.
2) agree that a tax increase is necessary.
3) would rather complain after the fact.
The city has one of the lowest tax rates of any municipalities in the state. The commission has historically been prudent on spending and on any kind of tax rate.
"Bragging about having the lowest tax rate might not be something to brag about if we can't take care of what we have in front of us," Commissioner Ellen Robertson Green told our Kevin Welch.
The increase would be about $22 on a $113,000 home, the average price in Amarillo.
One cent of the increase has been proposed to pay for 10 extra police officers. That's a safety and protection issue.
The rest of the increase would go for raises for some employees to compete with similiar positions in other cities and the private sector, street and sidewalk maintenance and computer upgrades.
None of that seems frivolous.
