With over 500 staff across 25 offices in North America, Europe and Asia, Travelzoo gets about. And the Greek islands are one of our top destinations for a spring break. But choosing between the 227 inhabited islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas can be a tough decision. So let our team of Deal Experts guide you through our top picks.
Kos ranks second among the Dodecanese islands in both size and visitor numbers and our travel experts have explored every aspect of this popular destination's split personality. Plumping for a luxury break, London-based Cemlyn Jones recently experienced the all-inclusive Michelangelo Resort & Spa and rated the infinity pool as the absolute highlight of the hotel. Cemlyn's tip? ''Dine at the adjoining Mediterraneo restaurant or sip cocktails at the swim-up bar.''
From our Munich office, Monika Heigl took a more traditional approach to her time in Kos, rating the archaeological site of Asklepeion and Thermes Beach – famed for the healing qualities of its naturally warm waters – as some of her top spots. Monika also recommends making the short hop across the Aegean Sea to Bodrum with a cheap boat tour to shop in the Turkish markets and souks.
The sandy beaches of Rhodes make for a popular tourist destination. However, if you're looking for an alternative to sunbathing, London-based Raphael Giacardi rates the picture-perfect Greek village of Lindos, with plunging views of the sea, for a day trip. ''There's a daily bus departing from most hotels that can take you there for a few euro. Don't miss walking up to the acropolis for the views from the top of the cliffs. If you can't face the walk, you can even ride a donkey to the top.'' Raphael also recommends ''finishing the day with a swim in St Paul's Bay, a beautiful enclosed cove with rock cliffs and a small beach."
Crete's food received full marks by our Deal Experts. ''It sounds simple,'' says Ashley Hamilton, based in Chicago, ''but eat lots of tomatoes in Crete. The area is known for them and you won't be disappointed with a huge Greek salad filled with them.''
Back in the London office, it was Crete's ice cream and yoghurt that took Sara Kriegel's fancy, especially in Agios Nikolaos. ''There are plenty of restaurants, bars and snack shops along the lake that are great for lunch or an evening cocktail. However, we relived our youth there with waffles and banana splits while sat on swings.''
Get charmed by the quaint way of life in Mýkonos, just as London's very own Christina Bracewell did. The island is famed for the windmills that line Alefkandra Harbour. Built by the Venetians in the early 16th century, they create a lasting impression, especially if you arrive by sea. Another of the island's quirks is the legendary Petros the pelican who was found wounded by local fisherman and nursed back to health in 1958. Although sadly Petros is no longer with us, he lives on as the official mascot of Mýkonos.
Santorini is a popular island for honeymooners and this was certainly the case for our loved-up Deal Experts. Toasting the sunset in picture-postcard Oia came unequivocally top for romance. However, Chicago-based Antionette Fadera urges you not to dismiss the other side of the island during the day: ''Kamari's black sand looks like crumbled up Oreos against your flip-flops and many bars and restaurants line the boardwalk for a refreshment after a day in the sun.''
Laura Summers in London recommends ''finding out more about the islanders' approach to grape growing.'' Santorini's unusual ecology has resulted in a small but flourishing wine industry. Volcanic ash, well-draining soil and a rather ingenious method for growing grapes to maximise the moisture from dew (Santorini has very low rainfall) and protection from wind means roughly a third of the island is now covered by vineyards. ''The pride of Santorini is their dessert wine, Vinsanto, made from sundried grapes'', says Laura ''and there's nowhere better to sample it than at Santo Wines, while admiring the spectacular views across the caldera.''
Island hopping
Still can't decide which island best suits you? Why not island hop? Chicago's Chris Vassil thinks ''it's well worth the ferry rides to one of the many other islands for a more authentic experience or to avoid crowds of tourists, particularly during peak seasons.''
Jodi Burns from Miami chose to stop in Naxos. She says, ''island hopping made getting between the islands very easy. It cut the ferry ride from Mykonos to Santorini in half and introduced us to a lesser known destination. We took a horseback riding tour across the island and onto the beach during sunset.''

My daughter is now twenty months old. She has been breastfeeded until she was 14 months old.
Since then, she has the habit of pinching my breasts when she is tired and she wants to sleep, when she is tired, sick or anxious, just what she did when she was breastfeeding.
She does not use a pacifier or sucks her thumb, and this is her way of soothing herself. She doesn't have another soothing habit.
Sometimes is quite annoying. Lately she has starting doing the same with her caregiver and female relatives (my sister). She gets very upset and annoyed if we do not let her do it.
I think this will pass someday, buy I would be grateful if you could give me a piece of advice about how to handle this.

'Merica, This Is Your Country Calling
And it is up to you to answer.
Because while we congratulate the San Francisco Giants and crown them as World Champions of Baseball, your country remains in dire need of your attention, your intelligence, your action!
While I have long subscribed to the "when in doubt, go left" theory of politics, I realize that now — during a time when most people seem to be more angry, more cynical, more in doubt about any and everything than ever before — that such a theory may seem just as blind and just as stupid as the uninformed bible-bearin' masses who inject fear and hate and intolerance into every single conversation.
But don't be fooled.
It ain't.
The Tea Party might be the scariest thing on the planet since… since Sarah Palin came within six percentage points of being that proverbial heartbeat away from the most powerful position in the world.
We just barely avoided that catastrophe. Let's not get that close again.
So go out. Do your duty. Be that baseball and apple pie lovin' US American…
Just see to it that ya do the right thing.
And remember, this is 'Merica. You can hate me. It's a free country.
Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

On my way to vote in a few…and if I can talk anyone out of voting for O'Donnell while I am there, I certainly will! Wish me luck…
I'm going out to vote right after I hit "submit!" I love when they give you a sticker at the polling place that says, "I voted!"
It is a bit unfortunate that we do not have a guy like Richard Pryor's character in this years election choices.
I am in a state (Florida) where both the candidate for the Gov's post have shady pasts and more mud on them than a teenage girl in Oklahoma on a Saturday night.
For some reason I really wish we could vote "None of the Above" this year.
But then again I am beginning to wander from my native Florida Republican roots towards the arms of apathy.
I voted, but there were more unpoked holes this year than every before in my voting history…Sigh!
Rays Renegade
Jenn — Go for it! And be careful… they're all over your state!
Jane — I do too. In fact, I'm known to wear it on my bum😉
RR — Since the dawn of time, politics has always had the same through-line… no chance of it changing now, but the least we can do is be heard.
There are some things more certain than the Giants celebrations…
1 – there will be someone somewhere complaining of being disenfranchised by the end of today.
2- the 'I Voted' sticker will leave a sticky mark on whatever you decided to stick it too.
3- somewhere there will be a call for a recount.
Lol…I really wish I could vote. Oh well…I'll just watch Sean Hannity tonight…that dude cracks me up. If the Repubicans win the way they all say they will, Sean Hannity is going to be quite happy tonight!
Peter — Pretty spot on predictions there. Are you a spy?
Virginia — Some day you'll vote… and I feel so sorry for you if Sean Hannity is taking up your television. Change the channel! LOL.
I wanna ghostwrite Christin O'Donnell's book when (not if) when she gets a book deal. I'll fix her. I'll fix her.
Christine O'Donnell. Whatever.
Prince, now that's somethin' I'd read in one sitting. Bring it on!
I tried everything I could out here in arizona, jeff. Like voting and stuff. Sorry, man.
— Blue in Arizona
We're all gonna die, Matt. We're all gonna die.
–Dead in Chi Town
All you other states enjoy your new or re-elected Governors, Senators and whomever – we got another bloody recount on our hands in Minny.
God help us all…
– Randy (who does not live in Michele Bachmann's district, thank you!)
Randy — We're workin' on a recount here too. Recounting between two no-good crooks. Lovely.

At Grazia HQ, we're big fans of Mischa Barton (and her range of bags) so imagine our delight when we heard she was opening her first ever store dedicated to clothes, bags AND make-up! Last night, we joined the former OC star and a fashionable east London crowd to cut the ribbon at her first flagship store in the achingly cool Shoreditch.
Inside the chic, Biba-esque store, leggie lovelies and one James Middleton (uh-huh) sipped on Johnnie Walker cocktails and ate salmon canapés as Mischa showed us around. While guests downstairs were treated to an acoustic performance by indie band Coonan Mockasin, we managed to catch up with the actress/model/designer to discuss London, inspirations and who is the Mischa Barton girl.
Grazia Daily: You've had eight successful seasons of your handbag line but when did you decide to take the plunge and open your own store?
Mischa Barton: We've been in development since last year and it's been quite an adventure. We wanted to build on the success of the handbags and it was a very natural progression. It's quite hard to get a store here so when we got it, I was very happy.
Grazia Daily: What attracted you to Spitalfields?
Mischa Barton: This part of London has so much history behind it. I love the area, especially the market on Thursday, and the general creative energy. I try and walk through here as much as I possibly can. For me it's like proper London and it gives you that feeling when you walk around at night. It's the perfect place. West London was quite scary for me and wasn't where I felt the brand was at that moment, but we can grow to it.
Grazia Daily: We know you for your bohemian and eclectic style, but where do you get your influences from?
Mischa Barton: It's literally what I'm into at the moment and where I am. I get my influences from books, movies, music and my travels around the world. I'm constantly taking pictures of things that I like. You have to keep it fresh and interesting and I'm always looking for ideas for the bags and the clothes. It's been an easy endeavour and I really enjoy doing it. It's very rewarding.
Grazia Daily: Can you pin down the archetypal 'Mischa Barton' girl?
Mischa Barton: Girls who are distinct with their fashion choices and want to be a different – they're quite sophisticated. We cater for the 16-35 market and I've found that we reach a lot of older women too. The items on sale are at a good price range, but I'm still shocked that the younger generation buy into it. They're so into it and aware of The OC. I'm like 'you're too young to have seen The OC' – it's bizarre and never seems to die, but it's great. That's the beauty of DVD.
Grazia Daily: You've been a busy lady of late with new films in the pipeline and the upcoming play (Steel Magnolias) in Dublin, but what's next?
Mischa Barton: Acting is always my first love but I enjoy working hard. We plan to expand and we're looking at Asia and the Middle East, so we'll see how that goes. The most important thing for me in opening in London was getting the look and feel of it down. Hopefully we can duplicate this in other territories.

This wilderness was designated by the Arizona Wilderness Act of 1984. Approximately 2,700 acres of the 15,000 acre designated Wilderness are located in Washington County, Utah, north of the Virgin River Gorge and Interstate I-15, on public lands managed by BLM's St. George Field Office.
The Beaver Dam Mountains are composed of gray-tan limestone cliffs and peaks that are sparsely covered with Mojave Desert vegetation, including narrow-leaf yucca, Utah agave, and creosote bush. Desert bighorn sheep, Gambel's quail, and the threatened Mojave Desert tortoise are among the native wildlife for which habitat is protected in this wilderness. The Virgin River flows along the southern boundary of the unit and supports several native fish, including the Virgin River chub and woundfin, both endangered species.
Recreational uses of this wilderness include hunting, primitive camping, climbing, and hiking. During high water periods in the spring, rafting and kayaking on the Virgin River are popular recreation activities.

Best Buy Looks to Crush Amazon with Price Match, Free Home Delivery This Holiday Season

Only about 40 percent of Best Buy shoppers leave the store with a purchase in hand, but the retailer wants to bump this percentage up a bit this holiday season
Brick-and-mortar retailers have been battling with online stores for years, but
Best Buy
is looking to reclaim a place in shoppers' hearts (and wallets) this holiday season with online price matching and free home delivery.
Best Buy announced that it will match the prices of online competitors like Amazon in order to attract more customers. This is huge for Best Buy, considering it has
lost a significant amount of business
to Amazon alone. With e-tailers like Amazon, customers can shop from the comfort at home, receive lower prices and quick delivery.
But Best Buy isn't betting on price matching alone. It's heating up the competition with free home delivery of products that are out-of-stock as well.
Right now, only about 40 percent of Best Buy shoppers leave the store with a purchase in hand, but the retailer wants to bump this percentage up a bit this holiday season.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to increase that close rate," said Matthew Furman, Best Buy spokesman.
Best Buy isn't alone in its holiday efforts to beat Amazon.
is currently testing a same-day delivery service for customers that who buy popular items off of the Wal-Mart website during the holidays. Toys "R" Us is another brick-and-mortar that is working to speed up delivery and offer price matching -- however, its price matching will not include Amazon, only brick-and-mortar competitors.
An interesting aspect of the holiday season is that a growing number of shoppers have started using brick-and-mortars for showrooms -- or checking out products in person -- then going home to buy the products online.
While this is another hurdle that brick-and-mortars must overcome, strangely, they're embracing this model.
"Let's be the best showroom," said Mike Duke, Wal-Mart CEO. "Let's be the best place where customers want to go and get the experience."
According to the brick-and-mortar stores, they can still offer things that Amazon can't. For instance, human customer service and options for purchase like online
brick-and-mortar stores. They added that Amazon now
must collect sales tax
in many U.S. states, so prices are not quite as low on the site as before.
To further hinder Amazon's sales, Wal-Mart and Target have
stopped selling the e-tailer's Kindle Fire tablet

Martha Regula is a native of Navarre, Ohio, but has spent most of her adult life living in, and seeing other parts of the country. She brings 27 years experience in both public and private education and 16 years experience in librarianship to her position at the NFLL.
She was awarded the Kent State School of Library Science Alumnus of the Year Award for her significant contributions to her profession. She graduated at the top of her class from the Kent State School of Library Science and is a member of Beta Phi Mu, International Library and Information Science Honor Society.
After graduating with a bachelor of arts in Journalism with a minor in English from Ohio Wesleyan University, Martha moved to Tennessee, where she taught high school English for a number of years. She then moved to Florida and taught both high school and middle school while continuing her education to get her elementary certification.
Having always wanted to live in the West, Martha moved to Colorado where she lived for 10 years. She again taught at the high school level while pursuing further education in media and technology. Looking for a new challenge, Martha applied for and was offered the position of district library director in Gilpin County, Colorado, where she had been teaching. Embracing this career change, Martha decided to return to Ohio to earn her masters degree in Library Science.
While back in her home state, she was offered the position of Library Director at Western Reserve Academy, an elite private secondary school in Hudson, Ohio. Martha remained at that position for 9 years and supervised the planning, construction and building of a 5-million dollar library during her tenure.
Martha's decision to join the staff as Research Library Director at the National First Ladies' Library was spurned by her interest in history and her desire to take on the challenge of being involved in a ground level project involving not only the history of First Ladies, but also the history of women's rights and issues in America.
Martha is an active member of local, state, national, and international Library Associations, served on the Stark County Library Foundation Board and is involved in a variety of community activities.

By Staff Sgt. Jim GreenhillMay 19, 2009
WASHINGTON, May 18, 2009 - The National Guard can expect peacekeeping roles in Afghanistan and Iraq in the future, the chief of the National Guard Bureau said here last week.
"I've challenged our staff with thinking through what happens after Iraq, what happens after Afghanistan," Air Force Gen. Craig R. McKinley told an audience at the Heritage Foundation on May 13.
"In many cases, the National Guard - primarily the Army National Guard - stays behind, and they are the people who finish the job," McKinley said. McKinley said he could see a time when the National Guard may be used for peacekeeping in other parts of the world, just as in Kosovo.
"People kind of forget that [Kosovo] was a major conflict, but there's still a lot of peacekeeping going on in that part of the world," McKinley said. The National Guard has troops deployed today on its 13th peacekeeping rotation in Kosovo. The National Guard also contributes to the Multinational Force and Observers in the Sinai, an international peacekeeping force overseeing the peace between Egypt and Israel crafted in the 1979 Camp David Accords.
National Guard troops also perform duty with Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa, whose tasks since 2001 have included preventing conflict and promoting stability.
Meanwhile, the National Guard is playing a large and increasing role in warfighting, McKinley said.
"Over 40,000 men and women today are serving in a federal capacity ... in our wars overseas or domestically ... with Noble Eagle," he said. Operation Noble Eagle is an ongoing, post-Sept. 11 mission to protect North America's skies in which the National Guard plays a significant role.
McKinley said that along with peacekeeping and supporting the war, the National Guard is involved in other international operations.
National Guard agribusiness development teams are playing a significant, non-kinetic, soft-power role in Afghanistan, he said. These teams that draw on the civilian-acquired skills of National Guard members to help Afghan farmers improve agricultural practices came out of an initiative from Missouri and now involve multiple states.
"What [started] out to be an experiment now has turned into 12 teams," McKinley said. "The land grant universities from all over the Midwest are now eager to put these ... teams out into the remote areas of Afghanistan to help. ... Just something as small as trellising a crop, getting it up off the ground, has produced crop loads in excess of anything they've ever seen before."
One National Guard initiative that fits the emerging national security strategy very well is the State Partnership Program that pairs National Guard states with foreign countries, McKinley said.
The SPP started in the Baltic region of Europe in 1992 after the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and focused on matching U.S. states with former Soviet satellite nations. The SPP later expanded to South and Central America. Central Asia, the Middle East, the Pacific and Africa came next.
Partnerships are created through discussions among countries, ministers of defense, the U.S. ambassador, regional combatant commanders, adjutants general, governors and the chief of the National Guard Bureau, which administers the SPP. The program works to enhance theater commanders' security cooperation efforts by building partnership capacity. There are currently 61 partnerships.
Strong preparations also are being made to approach future domestic challenges, McKinley said.
The Guard Bureau chief said he recently was involved in a Cabinet-level hurricane exercise, during which he was struck by the level of federal readiness in every branch of government and pleased by the close relationship between the National Guard and U.S. Northern Command.
"I don't think we've ever done as much rehearsal as we've done to be prepared for this year's hurricane season," he said.
McKinley joined the Air Force in 1975, the heyday of the Cold War. He recalled 1975 as "a similar time of constrained budgets, and a time when leadership was vital to our nation. ... These are very dynamic times. They are very challenging times."
McKinley said young people who are willing to serve, equipment and strategy that allow them to perform their jobs and leadership are vital ingredients to a healthy, all-volunteer force.

Former Clovis police chief and city manager Raymond Mondragon has been hired as economic development director for the Eastern Plains Council of Governments.
Mondragon began in the position Monday, replacing Gregg Williams.
Interim-Director Sandy Chancey said Williams, who held the position for about four years, left March 25, under a "mutual agreement" with EPCOG.
Williams declined comment.
Mondragon will be paid a salary of $42,500, she said.
In his new role, Chancey said Mondragon will assist communities within EPCOG's seven-county region with planning and grant writing toward economic development and will serve as a liaison to the state legislature.
Mondragon has, "experience, knowledge, great working relationships with all of our communities plus state agencies… he'll be a great asset to EPCOG," she said.
Mondragon said he hit the ground running Monday, sending out an introduction letter to all his contacts and entities in the region to let them know he's working with EPCOG.
"I know most of them (already)," he said. "I'm excited about this endeavor … I'm looking forward to it."
Mondragon said he has been involved with economic development in the area since 2001 when he was still city manager and was involved with the recruitment of Southwest Cheese to the Clovis area in addition to helping create a prison facility in Clayton that generated 200 jobs.
Mondragon is president of the Clovis Curry County Chamber of Commerce and previously handled economic development and government relations for ENMR-Plateau.
EPCOG is a consortium representing seven counties in eastern New Mexico and helps local governments with infrastructure planning and economic development. It includes Union, Harding, Quay, Guadalupe, De Baca, Curry, and Roosevelt counties.
Funding is drawn from dues paid by its members and other government sources.

Olives / Not Just The Best F@ckin Fruit In A Jar
Posted By Charles Adkins On July 29, 2012 @ 4:00 am In Fitness/Diet,GreenChef Foodie Talk | 1 Comment
Photographer: Dan Shouse
I will say it again, Not Just The Best F@ckin Fruit In A Jar, not by a mile. Olives, in my opinion maybe the greatest fruit of all-time. Olives have been described in biblical and other historic texts and are often associated with good health, goodwill, happiness, and peace. In Greece you could actually be put to death for harming an olive tree, while over in Rome is was considered a highly "sexual" fruit, and used as an aphrodisiac. Romans would eat them by the hundreds in single sittings, and were also the first civilization credited for the perfection of olive oil by using a stone press. The more you study olives and their history the more you begin to see how amazing they truly are. I am not talking about your black olives in a can either, I mean REAL, big juicy ripe olives that are fresh and magical.
Most of you know from reading my stuff that I am a big fan of eliminating toxins and getting the toxic mucus out of your system. With olives you seriously hit the jackpot in accomplishing this. Olives have a greater ability than oranges to dissolve toxic mucus in the system, and that's saying a lot, because oranges are actually great for that. According to Ragnar Berg's table which lists different foods ability to bind with acids it shows olives having the highest propensity to do so, actually THREE TIMES GREATER than oranges. The higher a foods acid-binding ability, the better it is at dissolving toxic mucus and removing cooked food residues from the body. It turns out that the olive comes it at a rating of 30.56, with figs coming in at 27.81. There were no other foods on the list that even topped a score of 20. Oranges came in at 9.61 and it is considered one of the very best toxic mucus dissolvers. Olives are pretty powerful little fruits!
The oils contained in olives are also great for skin, hair and nails and it is considered one of the foods you definitely need to consume (along with avocados and other nuts and seeds) if you are eating with beauty in mind. I have actually used pure olive oil as an aftershave because it is great for your skin and you just need a very small amount. Olives are high in calcium, magnesium, omega 3 and 6, they are an alkaline food loaded with vitamin A and E, and with so many varieties they are available year around which is very convenient.
Olives are one of those fruits along with avocados, dates, and citrus fruits that actually ripen to perfection in the sun AFTER fallen from the tree. Usually reaching a nice maturity in a couple weeks, but it could take months in some cases, you just have to know your local olives and keep trying them until they reach the ripeness you prefer. During this sun-ripening process the bitter compounds are converted into a flavor that is easily palatable. Most of the time you can tell when an olive is ripe by feeling that it is a little soft on the outside, and has a nice red to brown interior forming. You don't want to let them get too shriveled and dry either or they lose that juiciness and flavor. You really do have to become familiar with olives that you have locally and test them out yourself.
Of course you can buy your olives instead of hunting the random olive groves in your neighborhood. You want to watch out for a few things though. First to avoid, the canned black olives. These things have been pasteurized, and processed, and they are also soaked in a compound called Ferrous Gluconate which is basically an iron based compound that helps them reach that jet black color. You can get some great olives that are "water cured" or "sea salt/oil" packed but you probably want to eat these types in moderation if you have salt concerns because they are very high in salt. You will want to be sure to eat less than 20 at a time if salt is a major concern for you.
If you are looking for the best olive oils out there you want to search immediately for the darkest bottles on the shelf. Olive oil is extremely sensitive to light so going to the darkest bottle will narrow your search quickly. Then you will want to look for "stone crushed" and "cold pressed" preferably a Greek or Italian extra virgin variety, but if they are American or some other European country that is OK as long as they meet the other criteria. Cold pressed and stone crushed are the most ancient way of collecting olive oil in a way that retains all of the essential fats and properties that make it amazing.
Curious little fruit, so many varieties to choose from. I am sure you will find no trouble getting one that strikes your palate perfectly and your body will definitely thank you in the long run!

Retro Elegance6 of 14
Younger and less accessory-heavy than her design duo sisters, Martha Marcy May Marlene breakout star Elizabeth Olsen still opts for vintage-inspired pieces, particularly from the flapper era, but keeps all the extras to a minimum.
Art Smart7 of 14
Turning heads in vibrant colors, novelty furs and classic staples with a twist, Shala Monroque, girlfriend of mega-gallerist Larry Gagosian, has made her stamp on the art and fashion worlds. Here, we love how she pairs a tried-and-true basic like the denim shirt with a feminine and flouncy skirt.
Vintage Princess8 of 14

Decoupage Diva9 of 14

Teen Chic12 of 14

Quirk & Kitsch13 of 14
Often choosing tomboy looks or Amish-inspired dresses and flats, Alexa Chung has been the toast of the town for her quirky fashion choices. We know that this Madewell contributing designer will keep us guessing in 2012.
Retro Active14 of 14
It's no surprise that the designer for celebrity-approved shoe brand Charlotte Olympia would look anything less than pinup perfect at every outing. Charlotte Dellal's designs and style choices have a chic, throwback vibe and are head-to-toe glam.

On a Mission [T.I.D. Ep XV]
It felt like Vilevale was on a knife edge. There was tension in the air. Tension so thick that you could cut it with, uh, a knife edge...
Snake was causing further unrest. I had to keep my deal with him a secret, as I did not want to lose face by admitting to hiring him as bodyguard. So I was effectively paying him to keep his mouth shut, which he plainly wasn't.
Fang was still lost in his future plans.
And in my frustration and anxiety, I began to avoid meeting with him. This put a strain our relationship.
All the while, the balloons kept drifting on over...
Causing some strange effects.
I wandered aimlessly. I was growing evermore worried and confused. But finally, I was brought to my senses by Alfonso.
Tangy put it even more bluntly.
She was right! I had to confront my enemies. I needed answers. Sputnik was the place to go.
I took Curt with me for security, just in case some old Bear Mafia connections were needed.
I was perhaps overly keen to find answers, but Curt kept me level headed.
Not that searching needed to be done. There was immediately something strange.
Footprints. Everywhere.
My instincts made me think of crazy experiments and that sort of science fiction stuff. Boone was passing by, and offered a pathetic reason that only served to confirm my suspicions.
Meanwhile, Curt had found some interesting things about Nook. Perhaps there is more to Nooks past hidden here in Sputnik...
And it seemed that he had been targeted, drugged, while his shop was pilfered.
Somebody had to be behind all this. It wasn't hard to find out who. My insticts were right.
Whoever it was, was hiding away, building all sorts of contraptions from stolen goods, and terrorising me from afar.
Apollo! Now the crater paper message made even more sense...
I considered contacting him directly, to let him know the game was up. But Curt discouraged me...
He was right. There were others involved. Perhaps many more. I couldn't forget Nana, who was enjoying herself a little too much.
I made my way back toward the gate. Boone blocked the way. The only thing that seemed to stop Boone from pummeling me was my relationship with G...
Alas. G. He was notable by his absence this night.
I took my leave, armed now with knowledge instead of suspicion. But there were certainly further questions to be asked, and action to be taken in the near future.

The average cost for a Transfer Case Fluid Replacement is between $47 and $61. Labor costs are estimated between $35 and $45 while parts are priced between $12 and $16. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Transfer Case Fluid Replacement Cost for Ford F-350
Transfer Case Fluid Replacement Estimate (National Average)
Transfer cases can use many different types of fluids so it's very important to use the exact type specified by the manufacturer.
Over time, transfer case fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated with moisture, which can lead to damage from a lack of proper lubrication. For optimal transfer case functionality and life, the fluid should be replaced every two years or 30,000 miles.
Why Should It Be Serviced?
Dirty or old transfer case fluid may affect vehicle performance, so it's important to have it serviced. If you don't, you may experience one or more of these symptoms:
- Vehicle shuddering when turning
- Whining sounds from gears
Warning! Not servicing or inspecting the transfer case fluid could be very costly.
- Low or contaminated fluid could quickly lead to failure of the differential; replacing or overhauling the differential can be very expensive
When Should It Be Serviced?
- We recommend replacing the transfer case fluid every 30,000 miles due to the degradation of the fluid's lubrication ability. Having it serviced at these intervals will help reduce the chance of any related drivability concerns. Please consult your owners manual for their recommendation for your specific vehicle.
How It's Done
It is best to have the vehicle up to normal operating temperature before draining the fluid. The technician then raises the vehicle on a hoist and removes the transfer case drain plug to drain the fluid. Often there is a magnet on the drain plug to catch any suspended metal particles—this should be cleaned off. Finally, the proper amount of new fluid is put into the transfer case and the level is checked and verified.

Weight and Pregnancy Complications
By Health Day
We all know pregnant women shouldn't smoke...but new research now shows that too much weight may also deliver serious consequences for Moms-to-be and their babies.
In a huge new study of more than 1-point-5 million births in Sweden...overweight and obese mothers were found to be at increased risk for preterm delivery.
A normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. Preterm delivery is defined as a baby born before 37 weeks, which puts the newborn at risk for serious health problems even death.
Among the deliveries tracked:
3-thousand-82 were extremely early.
6-thousand-893 were very preterm.
and 67-thousand-59 were moderately preterm.
Factoring in the mother's body mass index in early pregnancy, the data showed that the risk for all three types of preterm delivery increased with BMI- and that overweight and obesity-related risks were highest for extremely preterm outcomes.
The researchers say while their study was conducted in Sweden, it has significant relevance for the United States where a sizeable group of women are becoming pregnant at very high BMIs.

Old Dominion 100. Magic in the Moonlight
(Fort Valley, Virginia. Photo courtesy of Bobby Gill)
There are two races that truly define the heritage of 100 mile ultramarathons in the United States. One is California's famed Western States 100, and the other is the Old Dominion 100. The latter is a diamond in the rough, and I've been blessed to experience both. Over the last 39 years Western States has evolved from one man's challenge to conquer a horse trail by foot into a high tech, sponsor decorated, epic production. In nearly the opposite sense, the Old Dominion 100 has clung tightly to the vintage format that makes you feel like you are still racing in the 1980's. Both races are unqiue and invaluable to ultrarunning, and to run them is to understand the history of the sport we cherish. Race founder Pat Botts, and directors Ray and Wynne Waldron bring you a classic race, but can you survive 100 miles like ultrarunning's legends from the 1970's and 80's? That is the very challenge that brought 56 runners to the small town of Woodstock Virginia on June 2 ,2012. Welcome to the 34th running of the Old Dominion 100 Mile Cross Country run.
My Old Dominion 100 race entry was not mailed in time. Epic fail. Two days before the race I called the race staff to confirm I was not running. Much to my surprise, they said I was on the list, and I was cleared to go. A spur the moment 100 miler? I hadn't run much since April, and now I had 48 hours to prep for 100 miles of running. Well, I didn't have any plans for the weekend and I love mountains and running. Sure, why not? I roll like that.
It's 4am on a cool, crisp June morning. You have 24 hours to run 100 miles. If you can do this, then you will receive a beautiful sterling silver buckle. It will be a well earned reminder of the relentless determination and iron will that got you to the finish. The night sky is bright, and the moon is nearly full. "Is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?". These were the words spoken by Moonlight Graham's character in Field of Dreams. For the 56 runners gathered at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds, they sure hope there's enough magic for all on this day. We bow our heads and pray for safe journeys, and then the real test begins.
Today is all about embracing the experience of the run. No goals. Just be in the moment and enjoy it. It's better than sitting in my office with eyes glazed over by the glare of computer monitors and fluorescent lights. This is what it is to live a life less ordinary. The early miles of the race contain the usual friendly banter when everyone's hopes and aspirations for the day are still alive and well. The fast guys dart off into the darkness, falling further into the distance, with their position only being given away by the dimming flicker of the police escort vehicle lights.
I run up Woodstock mountain with West Virginia speedster Paul Davis, running his first 100, and we have a great time chatting to the top of the first climb of the day. The new day reveals itself as the sun transforms the navy blue sky into a blush horizon. The roads are fast, and the weather is about as you as you could ask for. Though I run about the same in hot weather as I do cool weather, the mild temps were indeed welcome. I enjoyed the rolling roads and took note of the verdant surrounding landscapes of Fort Valley. I was mostly alone daydreaming, but was joined around mile 23ish by Matt Broaddus and Paul Jacobs, two fast guys from DC also running their first 100. Soon enough the guys were out of sight, and I mosied my way to Four Corners. 32.5 miles done, and a good bit slower than the last time I ran Old Dominion, despite the nice weather. No worries. I am having fun.
Goodbye roads, hello trails. The technical 15.2 mile stretch through Duncan Hollow, Peach Orchard, and back down Crisman Hollow Road went by like a blur. A couple hours after I left Four Points, I was back. Carter Wiecking heads up a top notch aid station, and if I'm going to see any aid station twice, it might as well be hers. One special beverage later I am off and running again. 50 miles done. Steep ATV trail, check. Puddly Peter's Mill trail, check. Now time to visit some old friends at Little Fort. Over 64 miles completed. Aid station captains Lee and Deb Pugh give me a warm reception, and I am just as happy to return the favor. I don't stay long, but Little Fort always feels like a mini homecoming for me. I am having fun.
93 miles go left and 65 miles go right. Right it is. More roads, a mudhole, and then a furnace. My safety runner isn't there, and I'm a little bummed for him. I don't need a safety runner, but it would have been nice to share the experience with a friend. Oops. But, alas a girl named Jaimie Foley makes the kind gesture to run with me. Game on! The climb up Sherman Gap was slow, but to be expected with over 75 miles now on the legs. Climbing Veach Gap is another tough grunt, but the views of moon rising over the valley were incredible. Descending into Veach west I rolled my ankle twice and walked the remainder of the trail into the aid station. The ankle roll was the only actual pain I had all day, and it was gone within minutes. Spirits still high. I thanked Jaimie for helping pace and not only was she awesome company, but she and her family have an incredibly rich relationship with the Old Dominion 100. Her father is none other than the legendary Ed Foley. Ed is a 15 time Old Dominion buckler and former champion. Basically, he is to Old Dominion what Tim Twietmeyer is to Western States. Good stuff my friends, good stuff.
The remainder of the run was cool, calm, and serene. Back up Woodstock mountain. 93 miles go left, 65 miles go right. Left it is. The stillness of the valley night and the golden lights of the town below serve as open arms for the prodigal sons and daughters returning from their weary ventures. We retrace the footsteps of the day before, almost as if to rewind back to a place of rest and recovery. Then, just like it started, the race is over. I can honestly say, though tired at times, I enjoyed every moment of this race.
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers and their tireless efforts. Volunteering isn't just a race day job, it's also the months before and after that they bust their butts so you can finish. Thanks to Matt Broaddus for the company and comradery. Thanks to the Broaddus/Jacobs crew for adopting me as a runner, and being cheerful faces for me and others at all the crew stops. Thanks to Ray, Wynne, and Pat. Congrats to all the runners whether you DNF'ed, finished in 29 hours, or 17. Congrats to my friend Olivier Leblond for winning his first 100 miler (take note his name is Olivier, not Oliver. He's French, and a totally great guy). Last, but not least. Runners, it's up to us to get this race back on the map and allow it to have the recognition it deserves.
In regards to my feelings for the Old Dominion 100 and the great outdoors, I'll finish with another Moonlight Graham quote.
"This is my most special place in all the world. Once a place touches you like that, the wind never blows so cold again."
Run like you stole something (metaphorically),

Nice job Mike. Sorry to have missed you at EF, but you must have been through before I got there. Congrats on a smooth problem free race.

Well done, Mike! Nothing beats the soul-edifying experience of running a 100 for the heck of it like you did. Keep living, my friend, keep living!

Thanks guys!
Doug, sorry I missed you out there. It would have been nice to see you.
Dan, I thought I was gonna suffer running a 100 with little notice, but it ended up being the "easiest" one so far. You need to come back to OD and settle unfinished business.

Beautifully done, Mike. The race and your writing. Mega congrats!

This might be my favorite of all your race reports.
I had OD100 on the radar, but opted to sign up for Laurel Highlands instead ... and ended up with a tendon injury after BRR 50 that lasted just long enough to foil those plans.
One of these years, I will run another 100 and OD100 looks tempting.

"Internet Purchases Only"
"Not a Retail Store Stock Item"
This item is viewable at our retail store in LEXINGTON, KY. It may be on display and is
available for immediate purchase and pick-up.
*Please Note!! Many of our pictures are stock photos provided to us by the manufacturer and do not necessarily represent the actual item being purchased. Please verify this picture accurately reflects the product described by the title and description on this page before you place your order.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the U22 Neos Inox is a
single-action .22 LR caliber plinking semiauto pistol. Although
designed with the entry-level shooter in mind, it is also ideal for
training and can be adapted to the needs of experienced users. Its
modular construction makes it easy to modify with a variety of options
and accessories, while still being affordable both as a base pistol and
as a fully-accessorized system. And the ultra-durable stainless finish
makes it particularly easy to maintain, meaning that it will give you
hundreds of hours of fun while requiring only minutes to clean.
Even while designing a plinking pistol to be used for informal
shooting, Beretta did not cut corners. The lines of the Neos bear the
unmistakable flavor of renown Italian designer Giugiaro--the same mind
behind several of our most attractive offerings. The result is a sleek
and ergonomic rimfire pistol that feels as good in the hands as it
pleases the eyes.
The Neos is constructed of five modular parts that may be easily
disassembled and reassembled without any tools. The ergonomic grips are
constructed of super-durable fiberglass-reinforced technopolymer with
non-slip inserts for a comfortable and warm hold. Most of these elements
may be replaced with the rich assortment of accessories that is
available for this fun .22 semiauto.
Reliable, durable, easy to maintain and remarkably accurate, the Neos
features an integral rail that accepts Weaver-style scope mounts as well
as a fully-adjustable target rear sight. The firearm is also equipped
with a cocked firing pin indicator at the rear of the pistol. The single
stack, 10-round stainless-steel magazine features an easy-grip knob
that allows you to compress the spring from outside, thereby making
loading extremely quick and easy. The ambidextrous manual safety can be
engaged with the firing pin cocked or uncocked. If you are in the market
for a superbly-engineered plinking or practice pistol, give the Neos a
close look--it won't fail to surpass your expectations.

Ok, here's my new question related to Fenugreek....
I was getting about 12oz a day and now I'm getting about 18-20oz a day!!!!! (3 caps 4x day for about a week I guess) I'm using 16 oz or so at daycare every day.
I see the biggest increase in the morning - I pump before LO gets up at 0430and again at 0900. The first pump of the morning was around 3 oz and now is at least 6, but was 7.5 today. I used to pump on my way to work at about 0645 for 15 min and then again at 0900 for 20 min or so. I dropped the on the way to work pump and still get the 4-5 oz at the 0900 that I was getting in total for both pumps.
Anyways, the question is: now that my production is up, do I back down or stop taking the Fenugreek? Or do I have to keep taking it to keep supply up?
Thanks, ladies.

Corpus Christi – In an ongoing quest to fulfill their mission statement of "Honoring God, and ministering to hurting children and families" South Texas Children's Home Ministries (STCHM) has attempted to impact the cycle of generational poverty, crime and broken families that have trapped so many families with their children in dependence and a deep sense of hopelessness.
Since 2008, STCHM Christian Women's Job Corps (CWJC) has provided the facility, staffing and financial support to ensure the success of this ministry under Lil Abshier's leadership. The program is a life-changing opportunity for women to grow spiritually and personally as they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to experience greater success and self-sufficiency.
Lives have been changed and God has been glorified through the great work of many volunteers and staff. They appreciate the great work that has been done in the past and want to continue many elements of this successful ministry they have all become familiar with. It is because of this foundation that they are now ready to expand their efforts and go where they are needed the most.
Effective Aug. 1, they are expanding their ministry and partnering with the CrossBridge Fellowship church. Formerly Corpus Christi Baptist Church, CrossBridge Fellowship has been operating since 2009 to give hope to people in need. The community surrounding CrossBridge Fellowship is rated among the top areas for crime, homelessness, level of poverty, unemployment and at the lowest level of education.
The expanded program will be named Jobs for Life – CWJC. They will continue to use the Jobs for Life curriculum. Jobs for Life is a global nonprofit organization that engages and equips the local Church to address the impact of joblessness through the dignity of work. They also will continue to use material from CWJC, developed by WMU, as well as include Bible study, computer classes, mock interviews and other job preparation skills, classes on nutrition and health, and sessions to build interpersonal skills.
Participants in the program also will be paired with "champions," who will serve as mentors by continuing to encourage and pray for each student. The ultimate goal of this ministry will be to help individuals develop a relationship with Christ and grow spiritually, improve deficiencies in their job skills, develop healthier relationships and move toward economic self-sufficiency. Volunteers will continue to play a major role in the daily success of the program. As with all STCHM services, this ministry is provided at no charge.
STCHM is excited to announce that Santiago "Jimmy" Rodriguez has joined them as the new Jobs for Life – CWJC director. Rodriguez has a history of following his passion by serving with numerous non-profit organizations with emphasis on helping people in need.
Growing up in Mineral, he lived not far from where South Texas Children's Home Ministries started. He has an extensive background in law enforcement and in the security industry where he has served as a consultant, previously served as chief duty sheriff with the Nueces County Sheriff's Department, and as a consultant and strategic planner for the Federal Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention.
Rodriguez holds a bachelor's degree from Corpus Christi State University, certified teachers certifications, and is a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He is the immediate past president of the Corpus Christi Baptist Association and has served on the executive board of the Baptist General Convention of Texas. He and his wife, Lydia, choose to live in the heart of the inner city of Corpus Christi. They worship and are leadership team members at CrossBridge Fellowship.
Jobs for Life – CWJC is currently accepting applicants for the fall semester, which starts Monday, Sept. 29. The 12-week program will hold classes on Mondays/Wednesdays and Tuesdays/Thursdays, with Friday as an option to attend faith and finances and counseling. Classes will be held at CrossBridge Fellowship, 3002 Buffalo St.

The trouble, as KCPT special correspondent Sam Zeff reports this week, is that there is currently a shortage of primary care physicians. In Kansas, this issue may be exacerbated by cuts to funding for higher education.
Also this week, Krista Blackwood welcomes Cathy Tisdale and Barry Posner to the program to discuss how Camp Fire USA teaches kids leadership skills. Randy Mason talks to the director of the documentary The Harvey Girls: Opportunity Bound, which airs Thanksgiving night on KCPT, and reporter Lindsey Foat gives us a closer look at a new WWI Museum attraction.

Update: It doesn't get more official than this: Microsoft spokesman David Dennis told us, "We have no plans to purchase EA."
Ok. So this is what we in the business call "big news." And even though it's still just speculation at this point, it's still rather stunning. The word floating around New York is that Microsoft is apparently interested in buying mega game publisher Electronic Arts, Reuters reports.
Now, this "unsubstantiated claim" will most likely remain so until for the time being, however EA's stock saw a 4 percent boost today when word of this potentially industry-shattering deal started to spread; and rightfully so. This deal would be so insanely massive and wide-reaching that I really can't even begin to wrap my head around it. I mean, EA games as Xbox exclusives? How crazy is that?!
Actually, until these unconfirmed claims get some official support, it's not worth getting too worked up over. There will be plenty of time for that if this thing actually ends up happening. And given the relationship between Microsoft and EA, specifically on the corporate side (John Schappert, Don Mattrick, Peter Moore), it might not be as unlikely as some might think. I'm currently waiting to hear back from Microsoft and EA, so I'll update if/when I hear anything.
What do you think the implications would be of a Microsoft/EA merger?
Update: An Electronic Arts representative was not available for a comment. A Microsoft representative declined to comment.
Update: We spoke with an Electronic Arts representative who told us, "We do not comment on speculation about our business."

A woman takes the stand in court and describes the sheer desperation that left her running across the H-1 Freeway and jumping off the overpass.
This was the second day of gripping testimony in the trial of Toby Stangel.
"I heard bap, bap, bap! Then, I was like, 'Whoa, what's going on?'" said witness Apelu Patu.
He remembers the sounds vividly. Patu was driving home on the H-1 Freeway Ewa-bound when prosecutors say Stangel shot at Amie Lou Asuncion near the Houghtailing Street off-rmap in June 2011.
Stangel is on trial this week for shooting seven people and killing one.
"I heard that first gunshot. Two cars went from the middle to right lane. Then, I heard three more," said Patu.
Asuncion was shot in the back. She pulled to the side of the freeway and attempted to stop a driver for help. That's when she realized Stangel stopped too and was backing his car toward hers.
"There was one car that stopped a red car, but I didn't have a chance to talk to that person because when I looked back his car was already in front of my car," said Asuncion. "So, I ran into the street into the other car, into the other side into the eastbound."
During her testimony in court Tuesday, the nursing assistant says Stangel continued to fire shots at her as she ran. In a desperate attempt to get away, she jumped off the side of the freeway and then hid from the gunman.
"When I got up, I went to Honolulu Ford and hid in the plants in there. I waited 20 to 30 minutes," said Asuncion.
After shooting at Asuncion, prosecutors say Stangel shot at Samson Naupoto. He had seen the woman running across the highway and was slowing down to help.
"When I put my feet on the gas, I heard a loud noise," said Naupoto. "My feet was numb. My left. I didn't feel anything and I couldn't press the gas."
Naupoto began to faint. By that time, Patu had turned around and come back to help. On this day, he was able to identify the victim's sports utility vehicle, reluctantly.
"It hurts to look at the pictures. I don't want to look at the pictures. I just want to explain to you know what I know," said Patu.
Stangel's defense attorney admits his client shot at the victims, but says his client was insane at the time of the incident.
