Parker's Big Boy Bedroom
Name: Parker (2.5) Location: Arlington, TX Division: Single Room Size: 75 square feet Tip for Living Small with Kids: Storage. I used to keep all of Parkers socks, pj's, pants, etc in fabric bins in his closet, but after awhile it was starting to really be overwhelming. He also had stuffed animals and toys spilling out everywhere. I packed up some things for donation, and separated out his "baby" toys and clothes to move to our soon-to-be-born son's room. We picked up a new dresser and bedside table from Ikea, and now I have room for stashing all of his clothes, plus extra sheets and blankets in the dresser, and almost all of his toys and puzzles in his bedside. I have ample space leftover now in the closet.

Energy logging and visualisation

Section 501(r)(3) requires a hospital organization to conduct a comprehensive Community Health Needs Assessment ("CHNA") at least once every three years and to make the CHNA widely available by placing it on the hospital's web site.
It's other purpose is to provide the hospital with a document that highlights the data findings, outlines key needs in the hospital's service area, and provides direction and opportunities for action through the adoption of an implementation strategy to meet those needs. This CHNA looks at health status, barriers to care, and other demographic and social issues affecting people and organizations throughout Calhoun and Gilmer counties and is intended to help improve the health of the area's residents.

From The Fredericksburg News, Thursday, January 10, 1878
THE ICE HARVEST is a large one, and the business activity of the past few days to gather it in, has been a stirring scene on our wintry streets. Men and horses, waggons and carts, have improved the fleeting hours in the most rapid manner and the rumble of wheels over the icy ground has been unceasing from morning till night. Mr. A. P. Rowe's pond has furnished a large amount of excellent ice, about five inches thick, and all the Ice houses in town and country will be filled with this indispensable luxury, of home production this Season.
Joyce Sidman's and Rick Allen's Winter Bees & Other Poems expresses in verse the wonders of wintertime while teaching about what is going on while the world is frozen. The poems themselves are delightful for young readers as they look out at the forest through the animals' eyes:
Holiday Open House Events:
Porter's Holiday Open House
Porter, Wednesday, December 9, 6:00-8:00
Celebrate the holiday season with family and friends. Begin the evening with music and song. At 7:00, enjoy a Christmas story, and get ready for a visit from Santa. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library. All ages.
Looking for something a little different? From celebrating Christmas as they did in colonial Fredericksburg to learning about winter holidays all over the world, CRRL offers lots of options for all ages. Find the event that's right for you with Winter Celebrations at CRRL.
Don't miss the Gifts for Furry Friends classes this fall, part of our Fabulous Fridays classes for students in grades K-6. Working with natural and easy-to-find materials, kids can create thoughtful gifts for animals to enjoy during the harsh winter months.
This hands-on activity, with lots of opportunity for creativity, can help satisfy kids' curiosity about what animals do in the winter. Throughout the season, they can delight in having helped their furry friends as they learn more about the natural world.
Looking for a book to share on a frosty day? Virginia Brimhall Snow's Winter Walk is a lovely and informative stroll through nature's quiet season. Grammy leads the children to all sorts of interesting discoveries. "Why is this tree green, Grammy, when others are brown?"
From the perspective of learning, this book is just right for young ones, and its design allows different ages to enjoy it. The figures of the people are only sketched, almost fading into the white backdrop as they make snow angels, fill a bird feeder, and have a snowball fight. But the images of what they notice and talk about are incredibly vivid: a cardinal, a snowshoe hare, a chickadee, a fox… and a gleaming icicle.
Bored? Nothing to do? Jump into a cozy picture book on a winter night. Troublesome trolls and a beauty's Beast! Helpful hedgehogs and polite polar bears! Whether you find yourself surrounded by swirling snowflakes or a chilly blue twilight, there are no better companions for winter's frozen brightness than Jan Brett's tales from the European tradition.
The Ice Dragon visits young Adara every winter near her birthday. The beast offers a chilly magnificence like no other creature. Adara does not fear the creature though, for she has felt the cold many times before.
A lonely child, Adara lost her mother in the rigors of her birth. Her father loves his daughter but struggles to connect with her, finding her too somber and a cruel memory of his wife's passing. It is this loneliness that forces Adara to embrace the winter. After meeting the ice dragon, they begin to ride in secret.
The constant beating of the winds against the house, the roaring, shrieking, howling of the storm, made it hard even to think. It was possible only to wait for the storm to stop. All the time, while they ground wheat, twisted hay, kept the fire burning in the stove, and huddled over it to thaw their chapped, numb hands and their itching, burning, chilblained feet, and while they chewed and swallowed the coarse bread, they were all waiting until the storm stopped.

HOUSTON - Yao Ming had 29 points and 11 rebounds, outplaying Shaquille O'Neal to lead the Houston Rockets over the Los Angeles Lakers 102-87 on Wednesday night.
After a closely fought three quarters, the Rockets pulled away behind Yao, who scored 11 of Houston's last 15 points in the final 6:12. He hit five free throws and three field goals.
O'Neal, who finished with 24 points and nine rebounds, fouled out with 3:20 to play. Kobe Bryant came off the injured list and scored 14 points for the Lakers.
The Rockets went ahead 73-63 late in the third quarter, and Yao got them off to a quick start in the fourth with two free throws and a jumper.
Nets' Frank ties record
CLEVELAND - Lawrence Frank now shares an NBA record - not bad for a kid who couldn't even make his high school basketball team.
Frank improved to 9-0 since taking over as New Jersey's interim coach and the Nets won their 10th straight game Wednesday night, 105-85 over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Frank tied the league mark for the best start as a coach shared by Kurt Rambis (Los Angeles Lakers, 1998-99) and Buddy Jeannette (Baltimore Bullets, 1947-48).
The Nets became just the second team in league history to win 10 straight games by more than 10 points, tying a mark set by the 1946-47 Washington Capitals coached by Red Auerbach.

You might feel that others are judging you negatively, which could make you more self-conscious today. This sense that others are looking askance at you may be the result of your trying too hard to gain their approval. While sometimes the perspective of other people is important, it is equally necessary to learn how to feel comfortable with yourself. Perhaps today you can work on loving every aspect of yourself, beginning with a part of yourself that you really are proud of. As you draw your attention to this aspect of your being, think of all the wonderful things it brings into your life, how it makes things easier, and how without it your life would be so different. Next you can think of something you are less than comfortable with but think about it in the same way as before—learning to accept and love it.
Loving ourselves for who we are gives us greater confidence and belief in ourselves. Since we are so involved in the social world, it is easy for us to view our persona through the lens of other people. When we do this, we are more likely to be critical of things in our lives or the decisions we have made. Finding something that we love about ourselves, however, turns the lens away from others and toward ourselves, allowing us to see the beauty that resides within. By admiring who you are today, you will see that your view of yourself comes from you, and you alone have the power to change this view.

which dog?? (long long)
Hi, I'm new to this so still unsure what I'm doing. But anyways, I'm 17 and my parents are allowing me to get a German shepherd. I have been in love with the breed forever and finally have time to care for it. I'm going to be adopting one from the shelter, but I'm torn between these 2 dogs.
Dog #1:
Age: 2
Color: sable
Sex: female
Description: very hyper, EXTREMELY vocal, and untrained. Not good with small animals. Unsure with kids. She seems like a good young dog to train, but like a typical shepherd, she MUST have mental challenges or will become destructive.
Dog #2:
Age: 7
Color: Black
Sex: Male
Description: VERY mellow. Not vocal, great with dogs/cats/kids. Timid and shy at first but quickly warms up. Overweight, he's about 100lbs but 20lbs over.
About me: I'm home schooled, practically home everyday all day. I am looking for a walking buddy, one that I can take to the dog park, lake, or just sit home with. I was leaning towards the mellow one, but he seems like he is likely to get hip problems. And he doesn't seem to have any energy... he doesn't do much.
My concern with the female is that she is too unpredictable and her prey drive is too high. When I took her out to play she seemed more interested in the other dogs, trying to get to them. She was barking and had her hair up but had her tail wagging....idk just seemed unpredictable.
Problem is, I can totally see myself living with either. They are both great dogs in general, bit idk...what do you think? Sorry for it being so long and if there isn't enough info.

The FTC vs. Lake Wobegon
This is the simple story of when the Federal Trade Commission decided to focus its massive enforcement resources on a small cooperative of hospitals and physician clinics in rural southwestern Minnesota.
Best known as the home to Lake Wobegon, where all the men are strong, all the women are good looking and all the children are above average, it is one of the most sparsely settled parts of the country.
Like all areas in rural America, this region faces daunting challenges in the delivery of adequate health care: diminishing population, vulnerable high-use citizens and the difficulty of retaining physicians or keeping community hospitals in operation.

Coville is a great sailor that has been not lucky on the confrontation over the years with another great (probably even bigger) solo trimaran sailor, Francis Joyon. Now he finally got a big achievement. Here we can see Coville at his best, sailing his old and smaller trimaran on demanding conditions:

The Vendee Globe (solo race around the world) is not far and solo sailors are trying hard to get reliability on their new foils. They have been given youth problems, the foils themselves and the boat structure so sailors are trying to test them on the worst conditions 2hile others bet on the reliability of sailing without the new foils...and we get excellent movies ;-)

Yes the old solo transat race on the North Atlantic is back, the one that was won by Chichester and Tabarly, a legendary race and the reborn was quite good with 25 race boats, from the huge big Ultime trimarans to the Multi 50, the Imoca boats (Open 60's) and the small 40class racers. If you don't know what I am talking about look at the race history, it's quite interesting:http://www.thetransat.com/history
Among the boats racing an old famous one, Pen Duick II that had won this race 50 years ago with Tabarly, sailed by one of the best solo sailors around, Peyron. Look at an interesting movie comparing a 50 year old top solo ocean racer (the 57ft Pen Duick II) with a modern top solo racer (60ft), the one that won this race on the IMOCA class on this edition:
50 years of solo racing boat design evolution could not be made more clear.
Pen Duick had to abandon the race almost at the end of it with some problems but till then it made an honorable race with a great performance for the type of boat, obviously without any possible comparison with a modern solo racer of the same lenght and a lot slower than all the much smaller 40class racers.
Some images of the race start:
The winner in real time, a huge maxi trimaran sailed for the one that won the last Vendee Globe, François Gabart, the wonder kid:
First among the IMOCA class (Open 60), Armel le Cleash, 2nd on the last Vendee Globe, beating in real time the first Multi50 trimaran (the 2th IMOCA too):
The First Multi50, an unexpected Gilles Lamiré that beat all the other great Multi 50 sailors):
and the first in 40class, Vauchel Camus that had already made several other Transats among the first has his well deserved win on this one:
and the first in 40class, Vauchel Camus that had already made several other Transats among the first has his well deserved win on this one:
What about the British on the British Transat (Plymouth-New York)? Well, not bright, the best British solo sailor, Alex Thomson, stayed out (probably not a full tested new boat yet) and the best performance comes from the 40class by Phil Sharp, very proud of his 3th place and with reason, just look how he had made the last 800nm (with a mainsail with a huge gap):
Next edition is already confirmed to 2020.

I thought they were dying, trying to sold their old cruising designs (more than 12 years old) after the big commercial screw up that was the "new" boats, kind of a mixture between a motorboat, a monohull sailboat and a cat (Feeling 48, 52 and 55).
They had tried a relaunch of the Feeling 39 (16 year's old design) and the Feeling 44 (12 year's old), both boats have been interesting boats in their day but today outdated. That was really pathetic and sad coming from one of the oldest brands still in production (started in 1912) and also responsible for the Privilege cats.
I am really glad they went the right way with what looks to be a very nice design by Marc Lombard (I hope it is not too late). Like on the older cruising boats they propose a centerboarder (and if it would be like on the past models, a version with fixed keel and deep draft). A pity they have not opted for a swing keel with all the keel on the ballast, that seems more interesting for that boat.
On the advertising they talk about a voyage boat, an alternative to aluminium boats, but in what regards beeching nobody in his right mind will beach a heavy GRP boat since light damage on the gelcoat is a strong possibility and that's why I think a swing keel would be a better alternative, offering a shallow draft boat, faster, more powerful and with more stability (than the aluminium ones).
The Feeling had always a superior quality than mass market production boats and they talk about top of the market quality regarding this one. We will see if that is true ;-) To follow up with interest.

It is on the water and it is a wonderful sailboat. If I was rich I would probably want one. To the huge costs of marinas and shipyards we will have to add about 1 400 000USD and the price is not even too bad if we consider that is a carbon boat. I suspect that a truly equipped boat would cost substantially more.
It should also be considered that this 60ft trimaran has the interior space of a 44ft monohull but at least the finnish seems to be rather good and many would not need a sailing boat with more than two cabins (both with an head).
The storage space seems not bad even if on the low side, but anyway, this is a boat for the type of sailor that likes to travel light.
The Rapido 60 is a Morrelli& Melvin design and displaces only 8600kg. It has a reasonable load ability for the type of boat (2000kg), about the same as a 40/42ft light monohull). The speed polar makes me dream. What a cruiser for some lucky guys ;-).

"Riveting action, to–die–for heroes!"—Suzanne Brockman, New York Times Bestselling Author of Night Watch
No Holds Barred, In Love or War...
A decorated hero, pararescueman Liam McCabe lives to serve. Six months ago, her and Rachel Flores met in the horrific aftermath of an earthquake in the Bahamas. They were tempted by an explosive attraction, but then they parted ways. Still, Liam has thought about Rachel every day—and night—since.
Now, after ignoring all his phone calls for six month, Rachel has turned up on base with a wild story about a high–ranking military traitor. She claims no one but Liam can help her—and she won't trust anyone else.
With nothing but her word and the testimony of a discharged military cop to go on, Liam would be insane to risk his career—even his life— to help a woman who left him in the dust.

TravelPod Member ReviewsWindsor Hotel Cairo
Our group all agreed that we love the Windsor. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We were in Egypt during a very difficult time and even the owner stayed in his hotel with his guests and helped us all keep in touch with our families. If I get back to Egypt I will certainly go straight to the Windsor again.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews Windsor Hotel Cairo
The Only Place I Stay In Cairo
The Windsor is one of those charming little hotels that only gets better with time: the longer you stay, the more it becomes like a home away from home.
I'm one of those who first stayed there after I saw it featured on Michael Palin's Around The World In 80 Days. It looked like one of those great places with "a past" that set it apart from the usual Hilton or Marriott property. I mean, if I wanted to wake up in my hotel room and for all intents and purposes be back home in Florida, I wouldn't bother coming to Egypt. I want to wake up and KNOW I'm in Egypt. And that's just one of the great things about this hotel. It looks like Egypt; it feels like Egypt; it sounds like Egypt.
Everyone who works here from the housekeeping staff to the desk clerks, to the waiters and bartenders, to the owners just could not be nicer or more helpful. Most recently I had the pleasure of visiting with William Doss the patriarch of the family who still, at the age of 92, comes to the hotel everyday and graciously shares the history of the hotel with interested guests.
On a practical note, I'm always amazed at people who come to three star hotels, spend less than 50 USD a night, and then seem shocked that they don't have all the features of five star hotels that charge 500 USD a night! If the Mena House is what you're looking for, please stay there, and leave the Windsor for those of us who appreciate it's wonderful people, fascinating history, and yes, all of the quirky features that some people choose to complain about, but the rest of us recognize as part of it's charm.
Very old and therefore, very charming. Good bar and good staff. Good restaurant, more importantly, with Egyptian food.
Located bang in the centre of the city. Shopping and eatiing all a walk away.
We arrived there after midnight and from the outside, it looked terrible. We were very apprehensive, but, the hotel grew on us.
We were traveling with two children aged 5 and 2 and still found it to be a good experience.
Highly recommended.
Lovely place
This place is really very charming, I saw all the rooms there as business seemed to be quiet and all doors were open and thought all looked very clean. The small balcony you can sit out on is a lovely feature on many rooms, and all have beautiful old style shutters. The bed was like something from a 30's hospital in truth with poles falling off the bedhead in in the middle of the night! Pefectly adequate night's sleep though. It's true the rooms are fairly bare and basic but I was very pleasantly surprised after reading reviews here, which almost put me off. there is hot water as I discovered after a few cold showers, if you leave it running for a good 10 mins or so.. terrible waste of water really and forgot to say this to them so if you ever go there point this out!! I also note our sheets were changed almost every day which was nice and what I hadn't expect in truth.
They very kindly allowed my Egyptian friend (male) to stay with me in the room which is of course against the law in Egypt as he is unmarried!! They allowing me to book two rooms but just pay for one. Many hotels said 'no way' when I asked this because it is 'the law'. I greatly appreciated the understanding of the manager in this regard.
They are a lovely, non-pushy easy going crowd who work there, the barrel bar is very nice, can't comment on the breakfast as was never up in time (I was on holidays !) and I would be very happy to stay here again.
A downtown hotel with lots of character
This hotel was used by a group of ex-army blokes as the start and finish of a tour exploring North African battefields and considering our background the standard of accommodation was not of prime importance.
The rooms are fitted out with basic furniture and you do get a good nights sleep. The bathroom is a divided off area of the room and consists of a toilet bowl and a shower- Both were clean, the toilet worked and the shower provided hot water.
The meals are also very basic and the menu limited. Sometimes the service was lacking but the staff were always friendly. The bar is the focal area of the hotel and no doubt could tell some stories from over the years.
The overall decor is from the 40-50's and appears not to have had any maintenance since ( use the stairs and avoid the old lift).
If you are hoping for some place thats cheap and does the job without the frills then the Windor is ideal.
I'd stay there again.
Characterful, it grew on us.
When we first got to the hotel we wanted to leave immediately. It looked shabby, dark and scary and as we had 9 nights in Cairo (the travel agent got dates of our cruise wrong)we were planning on changing hotels. Glad we didn't! The hotel is shabby and desperately needs updating, but it has got character, especially the staff.
The first 'deluxe' room we had was on the second floor, it was an original room from the 1930s, which was noisy as it was close to the ground floor and the smoke from the late night cafes outside the hotel just drifted into the room, there was no natural light either as the shutters had been nailed shut. It was grubby and we changed rooms the very next morning. Definately ask for a room as high up as possible, they are much better, even if it's just for the natural lighting. The top floor is the best as it's the modern 1960s extention so the bathroom is nicer and the beds better and it's far less noisy.
The breakfast is basically 2 bits of toast and a bread roll and some tea or coffee in a restaurant that's not very good for lunch or dinner. There is a great Chinese restuarant (I know it's not Egyptian but after 4 days of kebabs and hummous I was glad for the change) which is reliable and reasonable close to the hotel called Peking (out of the hotel entrance go right then left towards the main road and then first right again down what looks like a large alley before you get to the main road. It's very clean and although not comparable with Chinese restuarants in London, does the job well). The bar is really as good as everyone says, full of character and a great place to relax and get a tipple before bed.
The lift is great, we didn't think it would take the weight of 3 people as it was ancient and on a pully system, but we grew to love it and operate it ourselves. The phone system is just as anicent, you tell the operator what number you want to dial and it sounds like you're talking through tin cans - it was hillarious!
The staff are all great characters, very friendly, provided lots of laughs and were the main reason why we decided to stay for all 9 nights in the end, despite one boy who was so infatuated with my friend that he kept knocking on our door one morning shouting "good morning ..." When we complained it was dealt with well by Mohammed, who seems to be the main person in charge and we didn't feel unsafe, just annoyed by the wake up calls.
All in all, we had a great time and I think that if you stay here for 1 or 2 nights you won't like it as it is a bit shabby and takes time to get used to especially if you're used to hotels in Western countries but if you like character and are not bothered by not having the small luxuries (like a regular lift and telephone system) then you'll love it, just talk to the staff, they're the best bit.
All the owners need to do is spend some money
on staff salaries
on fittings
on room rehab - one at a time
- Think Emerson's and Greens of Stonetown, Zanzibar, or Kan Zeman in Amman, Jordan, or the Al Hawta palace in Seyun, Yemen, and you have the idea of what some investment could do here.
The hotel has character in bucketfulls, and (in mid november 2005) enjoys a very good occupancy rate of over 80%.
The staff are super-friendly and very knowledgeable
Many thanks to you all!
This hotel rests on its laurels with photos of Michael Palin's 1980's visit here and there. The rooms are shabby, plumbing poor, beds uncomfortable. It is well over-priced and the restaurant food is poor. The management will try to sell you tours and grill you if you decline. On the up side, the waiting staff are lovely, the lift is a laugh but the real plus point is the bar which is one of Cairo's finest. Nice bar shame aboout the rest. Decent location. Noise is endemic in Cairo and it is not quiet but not overly noisy.
Ever see the Great Muppet Caper where they stay in the Happiness Hotel that is falling apart & all run-down? This was like that. It was an experience, and something to look back on, but it was not worth it when there are reputable hotels for just a bit more money.
The hotel itself is tricky for some cab drivers to find, and it is in a very busy location, so try to get a room on the top floors. But, then you have to take the 5 flights of stairs of take a chance on the scary lift that never quite makes it all the way down the the floor, so you have to hop up into it.
The front desk person will try to take your passports & say he'll give them back the next day, but don't fall for it. Tell him that he can copy your info down while you wait (it'll only take about 10 minutes) right down there with him.
A "deluxe" room just means you'll pay more & have the bathroom not in a separate room, just a partially walled-off area in the bedroom with a tub & toilet. A normal room is a little better, with the shower & toilet separate (but still private to your room).
If you do end up here & get a room with no light fixtures, etc... ask to switch. Some are better than others. But all have wallpaper falling off & are pretty dirty, so don't expect much. And the beds are hard as rocks. Bring earplugs to try to drown out street noise.
Enjoy All You Like
We stayed here briefly in early and mid December 2004. The first stay was two nights, and the second stay was one night. We're not sorry we stayed here at all. It's always good to have a nightmarish hotel experience to share with friends and fellow travellers. However, we could never in good conscience recommend the place.
Although the physical location was fine, the traffic noise outside the hotel was remarkably loud. If we had kept the windows closed, that might have helped, but we were afraid of breathing too much of the pesticide that was sprinkled around the room. And we were afraid to use the heat or aircon to block out the noise because of the sparks that came out of the outlet everytime we tried to turn on the unit. Total firetrap.
Also, don't count on the breakfast, which consisted of watery coffee and burned toast, with additional charges for juice, eggs, and other "extras." (They actually seemed surprised when we asked for a taxi to take us to the Mena House for breakfast on day two.)
Worst of all was the constant pressure to sign up for one of their tours or the insistance that we pay the front desk in advance whenever they called us a taxi. We felt that everyone we encountered here was trying to skim a few pounds for themself at every opportunity, and that's not something you should have to expect from your hotel staff.
Also remarkable was the fact that we never saw the same person at the front desk twice: we got the impression that they were just pulling people off the street to watch the place for a while. (So think twice about the babysitting services.)
But the bar was charming in a sordid, run down sort of way, and we did enjoy sitting there drinking our gin.
Note: if you need anything, you'll have to find it yourself. The toilet paper is in the storage cabinet on the 2nd floor.
Windsor hotel
Nothing like you see on the photos on the internet. Old, dusty, dirty . Aircon does not work on most rooms.
Needs renovation to look like what it is on the photos. We were very very disappointed with the quality. Not worth your $50 at all.

Swisher, out or safe? Depends upon which time you ask
Fifth-inning update: The Fox crew can't seem to get over the fact that third-base umpire Tim McClelland's call cost the Yankees a run in the fourth inning upon appeal by the Angels.
[caption id="attachment_39027" align="alignright" width="234" caption="The appeal at third (Getty Images)"][/caption]
McClelland called Nick Swisher out for leaving early on Johnny Damon's flyball. Replays indicate McClelland was wrong.
It was the second incorrect call of the inning, however. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver somehow forgot Swisher had clearly been picked off second by Scott Kazmir and Erick Aybar, only for second-base umpire Dale Scott to get picked off, as well.
Let's see, if Swisher is out at second, the Angels can't make the third out when he leaves third. Short-term memory is a tough thing to lose.
Kazmir was done after Mark Teixeira's leadoff hit in the fifth. An inning earlier, Fox reporter Ken Rosenthal had adroitly pointed out "the only reason Kazmir was available was is because he is erratic."
All this will be moot, however, if the Angels can't find a way to solve CC Sabathia. Right now, there is every indication Kazmir could've pitched great and lost, 1-0.
And now McClelland misses an obvious double play at third base, with Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada both off the bag when tagged by Mike Napoli.
So many umpires, so many mistakes.

wowee! this sure packs a punch! This was just a tad to strong for how I like my drinks. But nothing like adding a little more pineapple juice and a dash of grenadine to fix that problem. I liked the addition of the brandy and lime juice in this bahama mama that makes it stand apart from others. Thanks for the recipe!
I forgot to add the lime juice but it was great without it. I had unsweetened pineapple juice. That's very tropical and sweet just enough but not too much. Thanks Sue. Made for Potluck tag
Very tropical and fruity. This one sneaks up on you, but in a nice way!

I received a large and diverse response to my last post on the potential benefits of running barefoot. I will not bore you with the gory details, but suffice to say barefoot running stirs up more emotion than the last Presidential election.
Most runners, at some point, sustain injury. One of the most common is knee injury/pain, followed by achilles tendon/calf problems, metatarsal problems, toenail problems, hip/groin pain, plantar fasciitis and heel pain, ankle pain/sprains, shin splints, nerve injuries, quadriceps, hamstrings and back problems.
Could Improperly Fitted Running Shoes Be the Problem?
A survey of 1200 runners by the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society found that almost two-thirds of runners sustained injury that they believed shoe related. In analyzing the survey, the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society implied that it was necessary to have the shoe broken in and stressed the importance of "proper fit" and "comfort."
Achieving "proper fit" as a runner can be laborious process, and perhaps NOT achievable.
The Running Advisor has a detailed process on How to Choose a Running Shoe, which is good and worth a read. One problem is, there is no consensus on what exactly the definition of proper or perfect shoe fit is. Numerous "experts" have guidelines, but no definition exists. Worse, even if a definition existed, meeting it would rarely be possible.
A 1982 survey by the Prescription Footwear Association found that all people have "mismatched" feet. Keep in mind this is looking at the foot in three-dimensions. Even if both feet have approximately the same shoe size, their structure (arch height, ball width etcetera) will differ. It would be extremely rare for someone to have two feet with same size, shape, proportions, and biomechanics.
Further, feet change shape. Four factors must be considered when sizing shoes to feet. These factors are dependent on activity and external factors.
The Four Shoe-Fitting Factors No One Tells You
At rest, the foot has a STATIC shape, when standing the foot's 26 bones shift position creating a WEIGHT-BEARING SHAPE, under walking or running the foot will change shape again (FUNCTIONAL SHAPE), and lastly, the foot will change shape in response to temperature and humidity (THERMAL SHAPE).
Not to complicate the matter but the newest literature shows that our diet and our body's hormonal fluctuation can affect foot shape and the way we walk. Machado has shown that plantar pressure distribution under the feet of young women varies with the woman's menstrual cycle.
Further, throughout the day, as we walk, our feet swell. William Rossi in his book Professional Shoe Fitting claims that this swelling is approximately 5%, and he says during exercise, such as jogging, our feet can expand as much as 8% or a one and a half shoe size difference. Let's repeat that: during jogging your foot could expand one and a half shoe sizes. Therefore, a runner who bought their running shoes in the morning, before much activity, and then went for a run on a hot day potentially could find their foot squeezed into a shoe one and a half sizes too small!
Proper Running Shoe Fit is a Myth – It's Never Happened!
How can running shoes perfectly (properly?) fit non-expanded feet in the morning (or at the start of a marathon) and expanded feet at the end of the day (or 12 miles into a marathon), combined with the fact that each of our feet (left and right) are different? They can't. Like the Loch Ness Monster, proper shoe fit does not exist. Sure, some salesman may tell you your shoe fits, but ask him about Static fit, Dynamic fit, and how the shoe will fit your foot after you run five miles in the heat.
On the Runner's World forum, Barefoot TJ wrote: "Doc, I have Morton's Neuroma (2 in each foot). The pain became so unbearable that I could no longer run in those over controlling, so-called, high-tech running shoes; I was in crippling pain by 1 – 3 miles feeling like I had fractured my toes. Running barefoot allows me to run farther, much farther before that horrible pain comes on, and I've been doing this for a while now."
Morton's neuroma causes cramping, tingling (a feeling of pins and needles), burning, or shooting pain in the toes or ball of your foot. A neuroma is a painful growth on a nerve that forms when the nerve becomes irritated.
In TJ's case, once you understand correct shoe fit—or more importantly, lack of correct fit, one can understand how TJ's shoes were, while running, becoming too snug and compressing the forefoot (and the nerve) and aggravating her Morton's neuroma. Now, she could buy larger shoes, but that could lead to the foot moving too much and cause other problems, such as blisters.
All runners are compromising on shoe fit. For some, this may be fine. For others, it may be contributing to injury.
The American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society recommends proper fit as a recommended solution. Could the 2/3 of runners surveyed who are injuring themselves and blaming their shoes all not be wearing properly fit shoes? Or are other forces work?

2006 Toyota Highlander SUV 4dr SUV w/3rd Row (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
This car has shuddered while accellerating since we bought it and on our road trip has us stranded now in Virginia because the transmission is messing up. The car surges forward and tries to drop gears while accelerating. The car jerks very hard and comes to a complete stop in the highway! I've seen many reviews saying they have the same problem!! I'm missing college and work and cant afford this fix and according to reviews it is a widespread problem with this particular vehicle.
2006 Toyota Highlander SUV 4dr SUV AWD w/3rd Row (3.3L 6cyl 5A)
Purchased Jan. 2006 at the time my requirement was back seat size, trunk space, side curtain air bags and great than 20 MPG. This brought us to the Toyota Highlander.It has been FANTASTIC for our family. I travel an average of 25,000 miles a year and have NO real complaints.I still when I get in say "i love this car". No major mechanical issues at all! Just routine maintenance. Change the oil every 5-7,000 miles - it is perfect.
Interior is pretty plain. I am not a plain girl.
But this is the ONLY suggestion.. that is amazing.
2006 Toyota Highlander SUV 4dr SUV w/3rd Row (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
We purchased this as a new vehicle and have been very pleased with it until today. We found out that we have a leak that can only be fixed by a $5000 bandaidethat Toyota has defined in Toyota's techincal bulletin T-SB-0015-11.The bolt holes in the cylinder block must be tapped to install an insert to hold new bolts.We now have to find a way to replace this vehicle! So much for Toyota!
spend 25,000 on this vehicle and toyota won"t stand behind it ?
Typical good Toyota quality, interior very bland and plain, small armrest, 3rd seat is so small it is unusable Smooth running, great in the snow. with 4WD Overpriced compared to other similar SUV But is a good vehicle with no problems so far.
more room in 3rd seat, rear seat ventilation controls,
I owned a '07 Mitsubishi Endeavor and traded with this vehicle for more seating capacity. I thought Toyota is dependable but I was wrong. Something is draining the battery AND brakes travels longer at first stop. I freaked out when it feels my vehicle will not stop. Dreaded when I come back to my vehicle and wondering if it will start. NHTSA has many reports in regards to my brake issue. Toyota have not recall this vehicle and hope it will soon.
Power, ride, space and driver seat.
Brakes, electrical and front cup holder design.

Every year since 1943, Louisiana shows Washington, D.C. how to do Mardi Gras
WASHINGTON, D.C. - With 100 years of Mardi Gras history in their Louisiana heritage, it was inevitable that those displaced Louisianians living in our nation's capital would want to bring the celebration to their new home where there was a thriving Louisiana State Society of 400 members.
It almost happened as early as 1938, but didn't. Senator John Overton telegraphed Louisiana Governor R.W Leche, after all arrangements had been made, that the society had changed its mind.
Perhaps because it was the end of Depression days, or because the war in Europe was heating up, or perhaps politics played a role. The reason is unknown.
The idea never entirely disappeared even during the long days of World War II, which managed to darken Mardi Gras in New Orleans. In 1943, C.J. Bourg, society president, announced that a "surprise demonstration of the spirit of Mardi Gras" would be introduced at the society's social on George Washington's birthday. Bourg and Lt. Col. Leonce Legendre of New Orleans were the inspiration for the February 1944 Mardi Gras ball for exiled Louisianians who flocked to the Statler Hotel masked in carnival style. Ensign Hale Boggs portrayed George Washington while Miss Rupert Perry of Monroe, a member of the staff of Rep. Charles McKenzie, was Martha.
This first queen was Mollie Gaumer, a member of Senator John Overton's staff. Legendre was to be king, but had to be replaced at the last moment due to illness. Legendre was a large man, but F. Edward Hebert, a member of the Louisiana Congressional delegation, fit the costume. Thus, by default, Hebert became the first Washington Mardi Gras Ball king.
Among the revelers at the first ball were Felix "Dan" Broussard and his wife, Kathryn. Broussard, a life insurance salesman from Lafayette, was merely a spectator that night, but by the time the next ball came around in 1946, he was in charge of entertainment. He recalled later for a newspaper reporter how his 30-year involvement with the ball began.
"The night of that first ball was the night I got into trouble. I got up and said it would be a great chance to bring the culture of Louisiana to Washington. That night they put me in charge of the future balls," said Broussard.
There was no ball in 1945 due to the war effort, but 1946 saw a revival. Broussard ran the pageant, which attracted several hundred party goers to the Wardman Park Hotel. The theme for the ball was "The Four Spirits of Early Louisiana History," and the evening was ruled by King Hale Boggs and Queen Corrine Waterman Morrison, the wife of the mayor-elect of New Orleans, de Lesseps "Chep" Morrison.
Broussard approached Louisiana Congressman Henry Larcade from Opelousas with the idea of inviting Louisiana festival queens to the ball. Larcade's hometown festival, the Yambilee, had just spent money to invite the reigning Miss America to its celebration, so why couldn't money be found to send Louisiana queens to Washington? Larcade liked the idea, money was raised and in 1948 six Louisiana festival queens were presented. These days, over 25 Louisiana festivals proudly send their queens to Washington, including Crowley's International Rice Festival Queen.
By 1950 media attention given to the ball was growing. The budding television audience nationwide caught a glimpse of the pageantry of the ball when John Cameron Swayze brought his Camel Caravan to the ball's dress rehearsal at the Statler Hotel. Footage from the rehearsal ran on the NBC evening news.
International conflict again brought an end to Mardi Gras revelry in 1951 and 1952, but the ball was revived in 1953.
The revived ball made several leaps forward in 1953. Broussard, now society president, needed a plan to finance the ball, so he approached Louisiana Congressman F. Edward Hebert with an idea. If Hebert would find contributors and subsidize any shortfall the ball experienced, Hebert could be "chairman" and choose the ball's theme, king and queen. Hebert agreed to the deal, but Broussard had one caveat - he wanted to pick the queen. Hebert quibbled but gave in to Broussard's persistence. Broussard named Hebert's 16-year-old daughter, Dawn, queen, and the two men shook hands on the deal. With that handshake the ball's chairman was born. As long as the society was sponsor of the ball, the chairman was selected by the society from the Louisiana Congressional delegation. Today, members of the Louisiana delegation select their own chairman.
The year 1957 marked the beginning of "the Russell Long era." Senator Long brought new ideas, some well received and some not, to the ball and helped expand it to the three-day celebration it has become. He had an almost child-like enthusiasm for Mardi Gras coupled with his innate politician's knack for putting together groups of people who could bring his ideas to life.
The Long era was marked by extravagant ball decorations and the inclusion of more and more revelers from Louisiana. The State Society of Louisiana was still the official sponsor of the ball, which was run out of the home of Dan and Kathryn Broussard, while the krewe's affairs were run by Bob Hunter. Long wielded a great deal of power and on more than one occasion asked for things the society didn't like. Broussard, a powerful man in his own right, went head to head with Long. Broussard's son, Joe, and Long's administrative assistant, Hunter, were often called upon to mediate between the two powerhouses.
Long's decision in 1975 to move the ball from the Sheraton Park Hotel to the Hilton sent shock waves through the ball's supporters. The ball had been held at the Hilton in 1970, but had quickly returned to the Sheraton. Long wanted to return it to the Hilton and even with the vote against him, he proceeded with his plan.
It was again Long's turn to be chairman of the ball and Long was determined to move away from the Sheraton Park, because the largest ballroom there had so many tables at the same floor level as the pageant that occupants of those participating tables could not see the dance floor during the pageant. The many essential fire exits precluded elevating enough tables to overcome the problem.
By contrast, Krewe of Town Revelers the main ballroom at the Hilton was designed in an oval shape with room for two rows of tables on a level 18 inches above the dance floor. At a cost of about $25,000, it would be possible to build and install enough platforms for tables so that about 80 percent of the guests could see the dance floor even without standing. The remaining 20 percent of guests, by standing up, could also have a view of the program.
By this time the elder Broussard had retired, and his son, Joe, was president of the society. Broussard consulted with Earl Hargrove Jr., namesake of a Washington decorating and convention firm, which had been hired by Dan Broussard since 1954 to handle ball decorations. Hargrove suggested that a theater-style seating arrangement, similar to inaugural balls, be used at the Hilton. Broussard measured the ballroom and created a plan, which was unveiled by Broussard at a luncheon meeting at the Rotunda Restaurant on Capital Hill with Long and Hunter.
The new seating arrangement accommodated 3,000 and created a majority of front-row reserved boxes facing an oval-shaped, racetrack-style dance floor. The plan was given the thumbs up by Long. It went into effect in 1977 and is still used today, with some modifications, to seat 2,500.
The Hilton recognizes the Washington Mardi Gras Ball as one of its major annual events, and one the staff looks forward to. The hotel actually receives calls from staff at other hotels who want to work Mardi Gras week at the Hilton, future dates permitting. The hotel is filled to overflowing during the celebration and its 1,000 rooms are booked well in advance as 90 percent of the ball's constituents now come from Louisiana rather than the Washington area.
In 1977 the Washington Mardi Gras Association was formed as the ball's sponsoring organization, which lasted until 1981. That year the Mystick Krewe of Louisianians was incorporated as a non-profit organization and continues as the official sponsor of the ball. The ball is completely self-sustaining with costs covered by the sale of tickets, corporate donations and krewe memberships. The event is not supported by any state or federal funds.
What began as a "demonstration of the spirit of Mardi Gras" has grown into a celebration of Louisiana, its politics and its people.

Definitions for wwii
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word wwii
WWII is a duet album by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, released on RCA Victor in 1982. Featuring six solo Jennings songs and five duet tracks, it was originally intended to be, as the title suggests, a continuation of or sequel of sorts to 1978's extremely successful Waylon & Willie. Chips Moman, who had produced Jennings' Black on Black and, famously, Nelson's Always on My Mind several months before, produced the album with Jennings' assistance. The songs themselves were mostly recorded in December 1981 at Moman's Studio in Nashville. Ultimately, the record failed to have as major an impact as Waylon & Willie and was much less successful than the 1978 release, though it did reach #3 on the country charts, with Otis Redding's " the Dock of the Bay" peaking at #13.

Sample Sentences & Example Usage
It strikes me that if you don't take part in the political process, you're really crapping on people who gave their lives to defend this country, WWII and elsewhere, obviously, this country faces enormous problems ... but that doesn't mean you walk away from it. But it means you engage and fight back.
At the end of WWII we did not have an undersea advantage. The Germans had developed submarines with snorkels and the US was searching for how they would deal with them. The new subs could avoid radar detection and were quiet when using their batteries. Then, nuclear submarines came along. Passive sonar worked really well against them because they make noise continuously. Passive sonar works well against nuclear submarines and is less effective against diesels.

If you're going to knit an heirloom blanket for a baby, then make it as special as your own little ray of sunshine! The strikingly beautiful Muted Highland Rainbow pram blanket or car seat throw is certainly different and stunning.
A muted rainbow of colourful, wide stripes combine with a variety of textures and different aran-style patterns to make this just as pretty knitted in one colour as in 6. If you use the recommended merino DK-weight yarn, then you'll create a lasting heirloom that can be used all year round, will cope with wear, tear and machine-washing, yet be as cushy and soft as a baby blanket needs to be when next to delicate skin.
The blanket is knitted all in one piece with 4.5mm knitting needles: 6 stripes, each using around 105m/110yds of a different rainbow colour of DK (worsted) weight yarn, and using a different aran stitch-pattern. Its optional, simple border is crocheted afterwards using a 4.5mm crochet hook to stabilise the edges.
Measuring approx 28 x 18 inches (70 x 46cm) when finished, it's aimed at knitters who are already confident using a cable needle and working with colour. The knitting pattern is a 2MB pdf that's available to download immediately after payment.
To try to accommodate all knitting preferences, I've provided both written and charted instructions. I've also laid out the knitting pattern so that you can print only the specific pages that you need, depending on whether you prefer your instructions row-by-row, or as individual stripe-patterns.
