Reviews of this property
We had a wonderful stay in Mr and Mrs Thomas modern living room and bedroom. Every thing was perfect, Clean and spacious. Everything in the living room and bedroom really met our expectation. Both were very kind and provided us with directions and made our stay very confortable. Upon our arrival we saw the living room and bedroom was kept so clean that we made extra effort to ensure we kept the living room and bedroom clean as well. It was a perfect location for exhibition and near the airport. We enjoyed our stay throughout our five nights. We have agreed to come back again next year for the exhibition to stay in Thomas house again. Thank you for making our stay so confortable......

What is Crusade Mode?
Developer K says that its Player vs. Environment, but I consider it, beat up everything that doesn't look human, including the Grim Reaper.
Overall Game Mode Rating : 4/5
The environment is really just dead skeletons. Developer K says that they have died in battle, and are fighting us against their will. Each skeleton holds a different weapon, and you can know their weapon by reading the hint that appears when your on the level.
Hero : Cowboy.
There are three levels. Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each mode has an equal amount of rounds (20)
On Easy Mode, you can play alone, or with a friend/partner. Nothing happens once the timer runs out. 1 skeleton spawns, and once you kill it, you have completed the level. You will actually heal completely each level.
Difficulty - 1/5
On Medium Mode, you can play alone, or with 3 friends/partners. Nothing happens once timer runs out. There are a lot more spawns here than in Easy Mode. You will not heal after every level in this mode.
Difficulty - 4/5
On Hard Mode, you can play alone, or with 7 friends/partners. Skeletons spawns with all equips of their class (can use every skill, and not just weapon skill) More spawns than Medium Mode. You will not heal after every level in this mode.
Jr. Grim Reaper spawns when timer runs out (sudden death). Jr. Grim
Reaper cannot be killed. What can a Jr. Grim do? A shet load of things. Make you go from full hp to no hp, steal your cookie, etc.
Difficulty - 10/5
Every 5 rounds, A Boss will appear. There are 4 Bosses in total, and Grim Reaper is the last boss of every level.
In Easy Mode - The Boss has all equips of 1 class. Once you kill the boss, and only the boss, you have completed the level
On Medium Mode - The Boss has all equips of 1 class. Minions of the same class as the boss also spawns. Even after you kill its minions, they will keep on respawning. You must kill the Boss to complete the level.
On Hard Mode - Same as Medium Mode, but more minions.
Grim Reaper
The Final Boss of every mode. This guy is hard.
Easy Mode - Kill this guy and you win. But who knows, maybe you can't beat death.
On Medium Mode - Kill this guy and you win. But wait, he has 3 boss servants. The bosses are random, and they respawn a minute after you kill them.
On Hard Mode - Kill this guy and you win. IF YOU CAN. He has 5/6 bosses around him. They'll all respawn once you've killed them so don't even try this mode, unless your level is OVER 9000.
I'm guessing Lost Saga wanted an arcade feel so they added tokens.
Bronze Tokens : You get 6 total. When you want to enter a mode other than EASY, you waste token(s). Medium wastes 1, Hard wastes 2. They'll recharge every 2 hrs, even if your offline, or AFK. They will automatically be taken away upon entering Medium / Hard Mode.
Gold Tokens : OGP's evil money making method. You pay 17 astros (1.7 USD) for 10 of these. They can either be substituted for Bronze Tokens (I'd prefer not to) or be used to continue. What is continuing? It is when you die, lose all of your gear, and are captured. You can use a gold coin to respawn with full health, all your equips, and be invincible for a short period of time.
Easy Mode isn't even worth it. Most people do it for fun. A normal battle gives much better exp then Easy Mode awards.
Medium Mode is alright. Slightly better than battle if you can complete it.
Hard Mode's reward is unspeakable. WAY BETTER THAN BATTLE, IF YOU CAN COMPLETE IT. I'll let this screen shot do the talking.
Ending Notes
Overall, it's a pretty fun mode. Some people don't like it because of the rewards, but its a pretty fun mode to pass time. Hope you enjoyed my review, have a great day~

I LOVE Honey!!! I just spent today harvesting my first supers ever! What a blast ! I spent the morning figuring out how to use the borrowed extractor and hot knife and then had a pretty flawless experience spinning. The only glitch was that it wasn't warm enough (only in the low 80's) - one of my first lessons from Georges Pink Pages! So I put the extractor, filled with frames on the back porch in the sun and covered the entire thing with a black plastic bag. After a half hour it was completely warm and extracted easily!
Now I am reveling in the fact that I have honey - almost 5 gallons. So what do you all do for labels? I've seen some at BeeWorks, are there others?
And what is the equivalent weight for volume?

Not including drive time. In doing a trap out how much time on average do you spend in doing one. I am trying to figure out what to charge. How many trips before you succeed.
Not including drive time. In doing a trap out how much time on average do you spend in doing one. I am trying to figure out what to charge. How many trips before you succeed.
I'am by no means an expert but I am a student of the Cleo hogan process. If your not counting drive time, your biggest time consumer will be keeping fresh eggs in the box and removing bees. If you are going to remove the queen, That will be determined how quickly she moves to the box
I don't know how much this helps. We have started going to every cut/trap out fully prepared to either trap or remove. twice last year in tree trap outs we found there to be multiple entrances and exits we muddied in all but the main bottom and top holes set a bait hive ten feet away with fresh brood and scented the branches above lightly with lemmongrass oil. took one hour of light to med.smoke applied to bottom hole bees kept coming out in good numbers flying around and around the bait hive and poof all once they where in a full tight swarm in a branch 15 feet above the bait and none in the tree cavity areas. We closed of remaining holes and shook swarm on to bait hive. As our timing was right and in came the night, all the bees accepted their new home with delight. saved a three hour return trip the next day. I do charge 150$ for removals that gets three hours of whatever it takes work after that they know it's $50 an hour. no charge for travel within reason. But I will usually cut the price a bit if the work is just waiting around time. Telling them upfront what it is potentially going to cost helps ease the pain of payment.
John Hargrave Northwest Missouri
how does that work? Does it convince the bees after an hour that there really is a forrest fire and they need to leave? Obviously it works, but not sure why....
My-smokepole..... Don't consider myself an expert. Just loved trapping bees for several years. Don't do many now. Gas costs too much, no bee trees close.
Time is minimal. Hour to set it up. Thirty minutes each trip to harvest bees and your frames. A big colony will yield 3-6 starts, Or 2-3 really big starts. I would plan for at least 2-3 trips to make sure all entrances/exits are sealed. Then, introduce unsealed brood, then normally 24-48 hours remove the first 3-10 pounds of bees. Reset trap and see how many bees you get in 24-36 hours. If you get three pounds you know it is a good colony and you can remove or leave and get more. Keep removing 3-5 pound increments until you are not getting bees. Leave for another week to get stragglers.
If a trap is more than 10 miles away, and unless you just want the experience in trapping, it is hard to justify the expense. If you are getting paid, that is another thing. I think you can expect to make at least 5-10 trips for final trapout. You can expect 4 to 6 weeks to complete.
Hope this answers your question.
If you have specific questions, Just let me know. Happy to help you, (or anyone else).
$350 to $450, a lot of trips (city prices).
Last year happened to have a number of small after-swarms I collected and they worked great for trap out hives.
Like Wimpy says make sure you do that 1st exchange 24 - 48 hours after set up. I made the mistake of leaving one a week before the 1st swap out one time and like to kill myself getting it down from the tree, it got so loaded with honey and bees.

If i were to grade Te'o to a player in the NFL right now he would be similar in prospect to brian cushing. The kid is as instinctual as they get, does he disappear sometimes yes, but he is a play maker when it counts. Stout run defender / solid not great but better than most pass coverage. and Jarvis Jones would be the next Adrian Tracy of the giants meaning ( Linebacker converted to DE)
edit: Brian Cushing pre roid exposure! sigh*

I think Te'o is the type of player that can revolutionize a defence but the chances of Giants drafting him are very slim

Whether or not Bailey Mes takes the court against Australia today will indicate the level of confidence Silver Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu has in her rookie midcourter.
Mes was a shock selection in the Ferns this year, elevated to the national team after just 15 minutes of ANZ Championship play. So far, Taumaunu's punt hasn't paid off in the way she would have hoped.
After serving her apprenticeship on the bench during last month's Constellation Cup series, Mes struggled in her first two international outings this week. She was never expected to be a creative playmaker in the ilk of Temepara George or Liana Leota, but the stability, patience and cool head that Mes apparently displayed in trials and on the practice court have not been transferred to the international environment.
Taumaunu described Mes' debut against South Africa as "adequate at best", with the 1.86m wing attack struggling to assert herself. She improved slightly against England on Wednesday night, but not to the extent that would inspire great confidence if she was thrown on against Australia in today's clash of the Quad Series heavyweights.
Taumaunu said she will look back over the tape of the England game and have a "long, hard look" at whether giving Mes court time against the Diamonds is the right thing for the youngster at this point.
"I thought Bailey was better [on Wednesday night], she had a better defensive effort, she had more presence about her and she just kept it simple," she said. "I still don't think she holds 15 minutes, there is still a drop-off in form towards the end of each quarter and towards the end is when the Australians can really get right in to you."
If Mes is overlooked today, she is fast running out of opportunities to prove herself. She will likely get further game time against South Africa and England when the series moves to New Zealand next week, and will need to show significant improvement in these outings.
While Taumaunu's experiment has so far failed to produce the desired results, it came at a time in the four-year international cycle when she could afford to - and probably needed to - take a punt or two.
She will be heartened by the fact that she will have a few more midcourt options up her sleeve next season with Leota tipped to return to the ANZ Championship next year, and Sydney-born Kiwi Courtney Tairi on a comeback from a knee reconstruction.

knebworth august 11 1979
having seen the show the week before, a bunch of us decided on friday night after the pubs had shut to drive to knebworth and try and get in again, this we duly did and as a good friend of mine at the time was working for showco I separated myself from the rest of my mates about an hour before zep took the stage and waited by the right hand lighting tower, when I saw my mate Gordon climbing the tower I called to him and he told the security man to "lower a ladder down for that guy there" I watched the entire show from the 'hospitality' tier just below the spotlights, zeppelin were of course superb but jimmy did butcher whole lotta love and they were not as good as at earls court in'75 which was thier peak, after the show as we all left the tower the tarpaulin caught fire and the whole thing went up in flames!! happy daze, love and peace to all zep fans.

So the author supports the use of antibiotics in the hive, but is having a problem with GMOs?
I am surprised that the conclusion wasn't geared toward bashing antibiotics. Certainly after 40 years of tetracycline use, American Foulbrood would have developed resistance to tetracycline. I guess bashing antibiotics is not in vogue anymore because GMOs are a bigger target and do a better job at grabbing the headlines.
Seems odd.
Before the advent of antibiotics, this bacterial infection [American Foulbrood] was the most serious bee disease in the world. Tetracycline had been used effectively against AFB for 40 years until 1996. In that year, tetracycline resistance was confirmed in both Argentina and the upper Midwestern states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Since then, it has spread to at least 17 states, including New York. During the 1990's, millions of acres of Round-up Ready crops were planted in the U.S. and Argentina. According to my information, the antibiotic resistant gene used in the creation of Round-up Ready crops was resistant to tetracycline. After 40 years of effective usage against an infective bacterium found in the guts of honeybees, suddenly 2 geographically isolated countries develop tetracycline resistance simultaneously. A common thread between the U.S. and Argentina is the widespread and recent cultivation of GM crops containing tetracycline resistant genes.

Biology has no definition of innocence. Anthropomorphism does not help in any scientific argument.My point was that there is no "innocent" proteins especially if they are enzymes - everything must be in place where Mother Nature placed it after 100 million years of experiments.
Why must "everything must be in place where Mother Nature placed it after 100 million years of experiments"? (Appeal to nature).
Although it may be true in a general sense, the above statement has not been shown to apply to GMOs. GMOs have been around for over 30 years and unless you can point out instances of GMOs causing disease (or allergies, if that is what you are talking about), then your argument is pure speculation and is further weakened by ignoring 30 years of actual GMO use in the environment. This use represents an enormous amount of data, more than can be gathered in decades of academic research. I believe that the "proof is in the pudding" in this case.In fact, many diseases are happened when something misplaced at molecular or cellular level.
Honey Badger Don't Care ಠ_ಠ ~=[,,_,,]:3
Your explanation of the science is fine and I am not going to argue with it. I do however; have some problems with your conclusions:
Biology has no definition of innocence. Anthropomorphism does not help in any scientific argument. ===>I am sorry, I am not presenting any scientific arguments here - for science we have scientific conferences.
Why must "everything must be in place where Mother Nature placed it after 100 million years of experiments"? (Appeal to nature). ===> well, because evolution placed every protein in its place by 100 million years long optimization process.
Although it may be true in a general sense, the above statement has not been shown to apply to GMOs. ===> yes, I am speaking generally. The basic science is applied to particular cases. If there is no data on GMOs, it does not mean that general science may not be applied - this is a foundation of science - we made a model and apply it to unknown cases. If you disagree - well, I could not help...
GMOs have been around for over 30 years and unless you can point out instances of GMOs causing disease (or allergies, if that is what you are talking about), then your argument is pure speculation and is further weakened by ignoring 30 years of actual GMO use in the environment. This use represents an enormous amount of data, more than can be gathered in decades of academic research. ===> there is no truthful publicly available data on public health effects of GMOs. There are plenty of data from very respectful scientists that Monsanto genes already contaminated native species in both Americas, which presents serious risk for native species.
Also, the whole discussion is about proper labeling of the GMOs. Since, there is no proper labeling, how we could collect statistical data on GMOs effects if we just simply do not know what kind and how much GMOs present in the food or other source?
Please, do not ask for references - do your home work before arguing, at least Wikipedia... that GMOs report is also good.

And that lends absolutely nothing to you argument. Next time I get in trouble at work in a scientific debate I guess I will take your approach and say, "Well, that's the way we have always done it, so it must be right." Do you see how ridiculous your position is?
Honey Badger Don't Care ಠ_ಠ ~=[,,_,,]:3
you say we are behind Europe, I say our government has not been controlled by special group activism
funny how you make use prions in your example when prions have absolutely nothing to do with any of this,.? I know alot about prions , well as much as a lay person can practically know about prions,
Prions had affected my livelihood with BSE
Prions are a unique class of protein in itself. It's able to cause an isomeric transition of your native protein which causes cyrstallization of said protein. To de-regulate a GMO event for human consumption, the novel protein is well studied and screened against a database of all known allergies, antigens, pathogens, and toxins. Any hits or even vague similarities it will be rejected.
I'd like to know what crops have tetracycline resistance in them or is this speculation. The antibiotic marker typically isn't needed in the plant especially if it's Round-Up ready.

A comparison of the effects of three GM corn varieties on mammalian health.
de Vendômois JS, Roullier F, Cellier D, Séralini GE.
CRIIGEN, Paris, France.
We present for the first time a comparative analysis of blood and organ system data from trials with rats fed three main commercialized genetically modified (GM) maize (NK 603, MON 810, MON 863), which are present in food and feed in the world. NK 603 has been modified to be tolerant to the broad spectrum herbicide Roundup and thus contains residues of this formulation. MON 810 and MON 863 are engineered to synthesize two different Bt toxins used as insecticides. Approximately 60 different biochemical parameters were classified per organ and measured in serum and urine after 5 and 14 weeks of feeding. GM maize-fed rats were compared first to their respective isogenic or parental non-GM equivalent control groups. This was followed by comparison to six reference groups, which had consumed various other non-GM maize varieties. We applied nonparametric methods, including multiple pairwise comparisons with a False Discovery Rate approach. Principal Component Analysis allowed the investigation of scattering of different factors (sex, weeks of feeding, diet, dose and group). Our analysis clearly reveals for the 3 GMOs new side effects linked with GM maize consumption, which were sex- and often dose-dependent. Effects were mostly associated with the kidney and liver, the dietary detoxifying organs, although different between the 3 GMOs. Other effects were also noticed in the heart, adrenal glands, spleen and haematopoietic system. We conclude that these data highlight signs of hepatorenal toxicity, possibly due to the new pesticides specific to each GM corn. In addition, unintended direct or indirect metabolic consequences of the genetic modification cannot be excluded.
Happy GMOs eating! Sergey

I believe that article got blasted pretty hard for the unique 'statistical model' they used to come to their 'conclusions'.
The French High Counsel on Biotechnology (HCB) has considered both the de Vendômois (2009)
and Seralini (2007) papers and has found that these papers make no useful contribution to the safety
o The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) have also dismissed this study, stating,
"Séralini and colleagues have distorted the toxicological significance of their results by placing
undue emphasis on the statistical treatment of data, and failing to take other relevant factors into
o Most recently, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has weighed in on the matter,
concluding that the study "provides no new evidence of toxic effects.
>>Ian, I was trying to explain why any foreign protein may present an unexpected health risk.
yet its not, and hasnt been for a long time now,
unless you figure these proteins are changing into prions, because then we would actually have a problem

What were you looking for in a charity partner?
We were looking for an organisation that we could trust to deliver our fresh produce to the people in need. Auckland City Mission are focused on meeting the challenges of disadvantaged people in Auckland in a direct and personal way.
How did you decide on Auckland City Mission?
It was mainly to do with my childhood connection with Sydney City Mission. My Mum worked for many years with the Sydney City Mission and our family was host to many troubled kids who the City Mission were seeking refuge for. So I have a personal experience with the organisation and culture.
What exactly are you doing with the charity?
Every week we deliver food from local farmers directly to the food bank in the Auckland City Mission headquarters in Hobson Street. Some of our customers donate a portion of an Ooooby Box to the City Mission and we also add any produce that is left over after packing the Ooooby Boxes that are delivered to over 300 Auckland households.
So far we have donated over $12,000 worth of fresh food.
How are you communicating your involvement to your customers?
We haven't been doing much communication around this yet as we have been more focused on executing the local food mission, so many of our customers would be oblivious to the contribution Ooooby is making. We figure we'll do it first and talk about it second. I suppose we ought to have a section in our next newsletter about it.
What has the feedback been from customers about your charity involvement?
All of our customers have the option of donating a portion of a box to Auckland City Mission during the sign up process. We occasionally receive positive feedback from these people however because we haven't been broadcasting it.
How does Auckland City Mission align with the Oooby brand?
It aligns perfectly well. The Auckland City Mission is all about counteracting the pain caused by the economic disparities between the different stratas of our society. Ooooby is all about reducing the economic disparities between food consumers. It's one thing for some of those at the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum to lack access to a new sports car, but it's another thing altogether to lack access to decent food.
Any tips to other businesses looking around for a suitable charity partner?
Identify where your core strengths are as an organisation in delivering social good and then find the charity that is seeking your strengths. If you are a construction company for example, then you will be more capable of helping a charity helping house disadvantaged people than you would be to help a charity concerned with curing cancer for example. It also does however largely come down to an emotional connection with the cause.
Do you have any other charity partners?
Not yet, but Oxfam is concerned with problems that we are working on too, so there would be a natural fit there too. In which case, our contribution would be more about generating awareness and providing real life case studies for their GROW campaign than it would be delivering food every week.

LSU defensive line commit Greg Gilmore also received a fifth star.
"Gilmore played at around 265 pounds as a junior, but he is now pushing 290 pounds, and he has gotten so much better," Simmons said. He has been a Scout 100 prospect from day one, but with the added weight and strength, his game has really elevated, and he is going to continue to improve in Baton Rouge under (LSU defensive line coach) Brick Haley."
And Gilmore is happy about that fifth star.
"Being a five-star just shows me that my hard work is being recognized," Gilmore said. "I have worked hard, I have a great work ethic, and it is nice to know that people are seeing that."

The Water Department in Creve Coeur, IL found this bee tree when removing some brush to fix a broken water main. In doing so they opened the direct flight bath for the bees across a school ground and ball field. Lots of people walk down that path too so they wanted the bees out to negate their liability. I was going to do a cone trap-out but ran across the Cleo Hogan method and decided to give that a try, this is my first trap-out.
The tree as I found it. Lots of activity with multiple entrances.
After prepping the tree and closing up all the entrances but one main one. I left the tree in this condition for a week to get the bees used to only having one entrance. I ended up filling the cavity at the base of the tree with cement after the bees tunneled out through it.
The female adapter fixed and sealed up on the tree. Lots of scrap lumber and silicone caulk to get everything to seal. Left it this way for 2 days before putting the box in place.
Side view of the set-up.
Bees using the tunnel after a day.
Closed the tunnel leaving just the mesh cone as an escape from the tree.
After 10 or so hours. Looks like it's working. I observed for a while last night and didn't see any bees able to get back through the cone into the tree but there is still a pretty steady flow of bees coming out. I have seen bees haul dead drones out so they shouldn't be getting too backed up with junk on the inside.

Did you contact them about the mistake beecurious? I haven't known of them to not make a mistake right when they know about it.
I haven't confirmed this but I have also heard that they didn't make the top bars different also which will cause issues with beespace if all they did is thin down the end bars. I also will be cutting them down also. 1/32" on each side works well. I just ripped them on the table saw, however you can also rout them after they're assembled using the fence and a straight bit. I haven't tried it yet with the router, but I may because I think it may be safer and easier / quicker. If anyone has recieved anyof the frames from Kelly's please report it here so we all can know. Thank-you. (I wanted to order some,but due to financial reasons and "needs vs. wants" I haven't yet. Perhaps in the spring or after tax return we'll have to see.)

To my fellow lady backpackers: I'm always looking for good books about wilderness trips done by and written by women – especially solo trips (since I always go solo; I don't have any friends who are into hiking or backpacking). Any suggestions? I have a few I really enjoyed reading: Waling Home by Kelly Winters (about her hike of the AT); Canyon Solitude by Patricia McCairen (about her solo raft trip through the Grand Canyon); Deep Water Passage by Ann Linnea (about her trip kayaking the entire coastline of Lake Superior); Solo: On Her Own Adventure (an anthology edited by Susan Fox Rogers of various outdoor trips by women); and Going Alone: Women's Adventures in the Wilderness (another anthology edited by Susan Fox Rogers).Jul 3, 2012 at 11:47 pm #1892129

@butukiLocale: Kanto Plain, Japan
Men read books by women, too. May I suggest a few?
One of my all time favorite books:
"This Cold Heaven: Seven Years in Greenland" by Gretel Ehrlich
"The Solace of Open Spaces" by Gretel Ehrlich
"Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica" by Sara Wheeler
"Eating Stone: Imagination and the Loss of the Wild" by Ellen Meloy
"Miles from Nowhere: A Round the World Bicycle Adventure" by Barbara Savage
"The Wind In My Wheels: Travel Tales from the Saddle" by Josie Dew (not wilderness, but great bicycle travel reading (don't read her book about Japan… she lied about a huge portion of her experiences here, and made up a lot of what she thinks the Japanese think like)
"Paddling My Own Canoe" by Audrey SutherlandJul 4, 2012 at 8:59 am #1892182

Wild by Cheryl Strayed is very popular right now. The author solo hikes parts of the pct but it's really a memoir/redemption story.Jul 4, 2012 at 3:04 pm #1892268
Hi Jeffrey – I'm sorry – I didn't mean to exclude the men. My apologies. I've read "The Solace of Open Spaces" and "Terra Incognita". Thank you for the other suggestions – I will definitely check them out.
I've just finished reading "Wild." Overall, it's a very good book that shows the impact that wilderness can have on one's spirit. Not a whole lot of detail about the trail, but there were parts of the book I could relate to (the parts about the author's mother dying, for example).Jul 4, 2012 at 7:42 pm #1892306
jeffrey armbrusterBPL Member
@bookLocale: Northern California
Hi Kathy: yeah, I'm a bit tepid about "Wild" too.
Arlene Blum's "Annapurna" on the other hand is spectacular. Plus, she's a Bay Area native!(Gotta love the locals.) "Breaking Trail" is good too.
"Now Go Home" by Anna Maria Spagna is a real treasure. Difficult to find but worth the effort. Anna worked trail crew in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State). This is the kind of real world, trail oriented writing that I sense you might like.
I'll look into your recommendations. Don't stop this thread!Jul 5, 2012 at 1:53 pm #1892448

@acrosomeLocale: Back in the Front Range
Erin McKittrick's book about her and Hig's trek from Seattle to the Aleutians?
http://www.amazon.com/Long-Trek-Home-Miles-Boot/dp/1594850933/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1341521514&sr=8-3&keywords=4000+milesJul 6, 2012 at 11:19 pm #1892760
Hi Jeffrey – Oh, yeah Arlene Blum's "Annapurna" is fantastic! I've also gotten hooked on Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon series, featuring a law-enforcement ranger named Anna Pigeon who is called in to solve various murders in different national parks. Barr, herself, was a park ranger. Two of her novels are set in Michigan's Isle Royale National Park: "A Superior Death" and "Winter Study". Enjoyable reads.
I also enjoyed Anne LaBastille's "Woodswoman" series of books, detailing her life in the Adirondack wilderness.Jul 6, 2012 at 11:25 pm #1892762
Re: Blum's "Annapurna." I have the hardcover edition which has color photographs. It's interesting to look at some of the gear and clothing they used back then. Several of the women wore wool knickers and flannel shirts. Interesting. I also have her autobiography "Breaking Trail" which is also very good.
A bit off-topic here, but speaking of older gear, I still have my copy of William Kemsley's "Backpacking Equipment Buyer's Guide", copyright 1977. It's really interesting to look back at all those old-sytle tents, packs, etc., and to see what was considered high-tech back then.Jul 7, 2012 at 12:32 am #1892766
I can recommend yet another book: "Savage Summit: The Life and Death of the First Women of K2" by Jennifer Jordan. It gives biographies of the women who have summitted K2. Very good read.Jul 7, 2012 at 9:01 am #1892815

Anything by Cindy Ross- she has written 6 books about her backpacking adventures over the year, both alone, with her husband, and later with their children.

"Scraping Heaven" – their CDT hike
"Kids in the Wild"
"A Hiker's Companion"
"Sex in a Tent" by Michelle Waitzman"
"We're in the Mountains, Not Over the Hill" by Susan Alcorn
"My Journey to Freedom and Ultralight Backpacking" by Carol ("Brawny") Wellman

The lush and approachable flavors of this balanced wine make it a versatile, food-friendly choice. Try it with baked halibut, roasted poultry or a savory pecan tart.
Chardonnay needs chalky or loamy soil in a cooler region. Newton owns an old vineyard in Carneros and also has long-term grape contracts for several hillside vineyards verging on that region. Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay, introduced in 1990, is said to be the first unfiltered wine produced and sold in California, and is now regarded as an industry benchmark.
Su Hua insists on picking only ripe grapes from the vine. Her method of quality control is to be involved in every aspect of the harvest, during which time she can be found every day among the pickers. To ensure that only ripe grapes are harvested, there can be up to four separate pickings in a single vineyard - very difficult to do but, she believes, there is no other way to produce a great wine.

Librarians to teach people about Affordable Care Act
BLACKFOOT, Idaho - Librarians in eastern Idaho want to help you understand President Barack Obama's health care reform known as the Affordable Care Act.
The Idaho Library Association and Blue Cross of Idaho are partnering to hold training for librarians.
The Blackfoot Public Library said they're acting as a distribution center for people. They will have printed materials like fliers and brochures. They will also have PowerPoint presentations. The library said it's even trying to have guest speakers come in and answer questions.
Library Director, Lisa Harral is learning the ins and outs of the Affordable Care Act. She said there isn't a better place to teach people about it.
"Its a neutral zone in a library, someone is not trying to sell you something. We're just trying to provide information," Harral said. Tuesday afternoon Harral and librarian Brenda Wilcox received their first training on materials they'll use. Wilcox said the pamphlets will explain health insurance terminology, but she also said they won't have all the answers.
"We're not going to be the end all, and as this gets put into place and more information gets out, hopefully we'll educate ourselves," Wilcox said.
She also said they don't have a political motivation.
"People need to draw their own conclusions and be enlightened about how this law will effect them," Wilcox said.
Harral said they will not tell people which insurance plan to buy, they will just explain the Affordable Care Act.
The materials are also being provided to the libraries for free.
The Blackfoot Public Library will start handing out information September 2013.

During the trip we will investigate the history and impact of faiths, empires and the arts in these regions.
At various places during the trip, Rick will talk about the dynamics that have led to violence in the past, and explore a future where violence is replaced with non-violent means resolving conflicts. The sojourning along the Camino will enable the group to engage in some profound discussions on these and other pressing topics facing global societies.
This tours starts in Madrid and ends in Santiago de Compostela.

The Pulaski Technical College Foundation announced today that it will receive $200,000 to endow a new scholarship for students pursuing careers in automotive technology.
Bumper to Bumper Auto Parts and the Crow-Burlingame Company are donating $100,000 to endow the scholarship, and the college will receive another $100,000 in matching funds through a U.S. Department of Education Strengthening Institutions Title III grant, for a total of $200,000.
The gift was given in celebration of Little Rock-based Crow-Burlingame's 90th anniversary in the automotive parts industry.
"We started collecting money last year from vendors that supply us our auto parts," said Thomas Martin, regional manager of Crow-Burlingame's Northern Division. "It was our decision to match contributed money and use it to help our community. We want it to be a continuing investment to education in our community that will live on for many years to come."
Contributing vendors include ACDelco, Moog Chassis Parts, Standard Ignition Parts, Quality Built Starters and Alternators, WIX Filter Co., Gates Rubber Co., Continental Batteries, Alliance Parts Warehouse, NGK Spark Plugs, DuPont Paint, PPG Paint and Castrol Oil Co.
The gift was announced Monday at a news conference at Pulaski Technical College Little Rock-South, which houses the Transportation Technology Center where more than 200 students are enrolled in transportation technology-related programs.
The new scholarship will be awarded to a second-year student who shows commitment to completing certification in a transportation technology-related program and a desire to have a career in the automotive repair profession.

Victoria Purcell-Gates
Childhood literacy expert to speak at UTSA
By Tanya Hulbert
Student Writer, College of Liberal and Fine Arts
(Feb. 15, 2008)--Early childhood literacy expert Victoria Purcell-Gates will speak on the reasons for illiteracy at 5:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 18 in the University Center Retama Auditorium (2.02.02) on the 1604 Campus. Sponsored by the Reading and Literacy Education program of the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching in the UTSA College of Education and Human Development, the lecture is free and open to the public.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Purcell-Gates' research focuses on how communities value and practice literacy in all aspects of students' lives including representations in books, attitudes and beliefs. She maintains that it is crucial to design early literacy instruction that builds on the linguistic, cognitive, cultural and social models for reading and writing that children acquire in their communities.
According to Purcell-Gates, if curricula do not relate to students' lives outside of school, "their education slides right off of them." "The more relevant you make literacy instruction to their lives, the more development you see," she said.
Purcell-Gates holds the Canada Research Chair in Early Childhood Literacy in the Department of Language and Literacy at University of British Columbia, Vancouver. She earned a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley. She was a faculty member at Harvard University and is former president of the National Reading Conference.
Her honors include the Reading Hall of Fame, Oscar Causey Award from the National Reading Conference for Outstanding Contributions to Literacy Research 2004 and the Academy of Sciences/Institute of Medicine Committee on Health Literacy 2002-2003.Purcell-Gates has published five books including "Cultural Practices of Literacy: Case Studies of Language, Literacy, Social Practice, and Power," "Print Literacy Development: Uniting the Cognitive and Social Practice Theories" and "Other People's Words: The Cycle of Low Literacy."

DLC Content.
Administrators, add DLC content for custom weapons armors, etc. make it so players who wish to destroy the compitition able to buy items so powerful that you could kill someone in one 1, maybe 2. please note that if you impliment this my company ECS, will invest into your project. me Ecpecially. I Believe in wining ladies and genetle men. so Santa monica INC., adding that will cause people like me to Individualize their selfs from other people. like in real life there are things others do not have, like me I Have a 2013 BMW m6 I'm sure 1 or none of you have the car. my point is I want to be different from these people. and I'm willing to invest as much money as it takes to make sure of that.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Re: DLC Content.
Pay to win? That ship is this way...
Re: DLC Content.
Woah im all for winning im all for competetion but it should be fair all around even. It shouldnt be based on who has the big bucks it should be based off who is the most skilled with thier blade. We dont need people running around with the gold gun from 007 thinking they have skills.
Re: DLC Content.
How about spend that "investment" money on a strong group to run with. You pay the right people you would be pretty much guaranteed to win and they wouldn't have to do anything but hone their skills since they could pay their bills. If they weren't cutting the grade then you would just replace them as your employee. lol
Re: DLC Content.[ Edited ]
This is too funny!!
Im sure this cat was one of the Beta players that got rocked multiple times no matter what god they followed or what gear they wore.
AKA a crappy player that relys on buyable items to improve their chances of wining rather than relying on skill and gameplay.
Now if I am wrong and you were kicking butt even in the betta with out all your money bought items then im sorry... but if that were the case why would you want the money items....? Just want to be different? If that were the case the bmw you got is really a chevy in disquise? No you got a real bmw because you just arent special enough on your own with out it and that is the real sad part! True individuality comes from making something out of what you have not buying your indviduality with money.
Re: DLC Content.
@PrideTEvans If You Have Money To Burn You Might As Well Just 'Hire' A Skilled Warrior Like Lord-Kratos23 Or d1v4d To Give You Lessons On How To Not Lose For A Reasonable Price ?
Why Implement Such A Capitalist System, When The Majority Of People Already Think $60 Or $80 For The CE Edition Is Expensive Enough ? I Understand Having DLC, But Paying To Gain 'Early' Access To Powerful Weapons/Armor/Magic Is Not What SSM Would Want .
If Takes Skills, To Pay The Bills ! .Lol

Reviews for this host's other properties
Isik is a nice & helpful guy. The apartment is clean and convenience. Just a 3 mins walk to Taksim Metro station and the shopping street. I recommend to rent a apartment rather than hotel. As apartment 's space is much larger than hotel room. Highly recommend a young couple to this apartment .It is very valuable.
The location is perfect - ca 200 m from Taksim Square. However, the apartment it self was a bad experience. It is a moistured and molded apartment. You can smell it at once when you get inside the apartment. And at the same time, they are building a new house next to the master bedroom - 10 cm from the window!! That means, that is was not possible to get fresh air in the apartment. So we were there as little time as possible - we were coughing the hole time - and still are doing it after we came home. The bathroom was good.
Isik took us in very friendly and nice.
The apartment was clean, the location perfect and the lovely apartment is all it takes. We stayed as a family very satisfied and would not hesitate to re-book this apartment!
Isik hat uns sehr freundlich und nett aufgenommen.
Die Wohnung war sauber, die Lage optimal und in der hübschen Wohnung ist alles was man braucht. Wir waren als Familie sehr zufrieden und würden jederzeit wieder diese Wohnung buchen!
Big flat, 2 min by foot from Taksim square : perfectly situated !
Well equipped, very clean. Isik is a very kind and helpful host. I highly recommend it !
If you happen on to istanbul , should definitely visit Işık's house because he is extremely kind,considerate and helpful on any issue about accomodation and transportation to house. We loved house so much. It's very close to Istiklal. We thank Işık and his older brother Hasan, much appreciated.
Best Regards

A arte Studio Invernizzi gallery will exhibit at Fiac 2010 in Paris representative works by Alan Charlton, Carlo Ciussi, Dadamaino, François Morellet, Mario Nigro, Pino Pinelli, Nelio Sonego, Günter Umberg and Michel Verjux.
The modularity of the work which becomes physical expansion of the image, distinguishes Alan Charlton's work "5 Vertical parts", 1995, acrylic on canvas, 216x63 cm.
Carlo Ciussi created for the occasion the work "Untitled", 2010, oil and charcoal on canvas, 138x88 cm, where the sign is structured in a sequence, generating unstable geometric equilibria.
The work by François Morellet "Petite acrobatie n. 1", 2010, acrylic on canvas on wood, blue and red neon, 170x180 cm, will be on display.
Dadamaino will be represented with the work titled "I fatti della vita. Lettera 12", 1980, indian ink on framed paper, 205x98 cm. This work was exhibited on the occasion of Dadamaino's solo exhibition at XXXIX Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte La Biennale di Venezia in 1980.
Michel Verjux will create for the occasion the light projection "Découpe en douche sur socle blanc".
Mario Nigro will be represented by the work from the Tempo totale series titled "Pensiero", 1975, acrylic on canvas, 81x81 cm, in which the independence of the colour is set off to extremes.
The work by Pino Pinelli "Pittura R", 2007, mixed media, 33x63 cm is body of concrete colour which speaks the physicalness of the space-light.
Nelio Sonego realized two new works of the series "Orizzontaleverticale" in which the painting fluidifies opening the image over the edge.
The work by Günter Umberg forms a relationship with the space surrounding it by virtue of the physical value of the painting that constitutes it. Almost as if it were expanding, the picture acquires depth and, by altering the flatness of the wall, invades the space.

Every Day SPF 15 Moisturizer now provides reliable broad-spectrum sun protection due to its mix of mineral active ingredients of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. It is a very good, gentle, fragrance-free sunscreen for normal to dry skin not prone to breakouts. True to the claims, this is an ultra-rich formula in terms of the emollient plant oils and thickeners it contains. The plant oils (all of which are the non-fragrant type) provide antioxidant benefits, which is a boon to any sunscreen because antioxidants help defend skin against the free radicals generated whenever it's exposed to UV light (which occurs even on cloudy days). All told, this is a top sunscreen option at the drugstore, and would also be suitable for sensitive skin and for use on children.
Note: This product was recently downgraded from our top rating to two stars, which is considered average. The reason for the change is due to the prevailing recommendation that your daytime sun protection product be rated SPF 30 or greater. This revised recommendation is due to the fact that most people are not applying sunscreen liberally enough to earn the stated level of protection on the label; therefore, a higher SPF rating will be more advantageous. See the More Info section for additional details.
Sunscreens Rated SPF 15: A growing body of current research has demonstrated that it's better to use a sunscreen rated SPF 20 or greater to ensure adequate defense against the sun's aging UV rays. SPF 15 is an option, but only if you're willing to apply liberally and your skin will be seeing five hours of daylight or less. While this sunscreen will provide the SPF number on the label and has UVA-protecting ingredients. Applying an SPF 15-rated sunscreen under a foundation, tinted moisturizer, or BB cream that offers broad-spectrum SPF 25+ will take far better care of your skin. Plus, this layering approach ensures your skin gets sufficient sun protection even if you're not applying liberally.
For a list of UVA sunscreen actives, see the Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary entry on PaulasChoice.com.
This ultra-rich formula contains Hydresia oleosomes made from safflower oil to naturally nourish skin, and all mineral SPF 15. All mineral sun protection ... no chemical sun screens, no nanoparticles, no parabens, no artificial colors or fragrances and no animal testing!
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide 3.50%; Zinc Oxide 3.50% Other Ingredients: Aqua, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Propanediol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Dimethicone, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Oleosomes, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin-E), Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot)Root Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Kiss My Face At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; generous sizes; some very good sunscreens, occasional use of antioxidants without troublesome plant extracts; some fragrance-free products.
Weaknesses: Nearly all products contain one or more problematic plant extracts or volatile plant oils; the Obsessively Organic line is a dud; no products to treat acne or lighten skin discolorations; several bar soaps; no reliable AHA or BHA products; irritating toners; problematic self-tanner.
Lining the shelves of many health food stores and the "natural" skin-care aisles of quite a few national grocery store chains is this sweetly named line of skin-care products. Similar to competitor Burt's Bees (where Burt himself sold handmade products out of the back of his pickup truck), the owners of Kiss My Face are also vegetarians. (What does dietary preference have to do with skin care? We don't know, but it's mentioned several times in the information about this company.) Also similar to Burt's Bees, the founders of Kiss My Face started on a farm and took their products and concept to the big city, where it was well received.
Of course, the farm setting juxtaposed with the urban success speaks to the company's desire to maintain their natural image, despite using several ingredients that aren't natural in the least. If anything, many of the natural ingredients Kiss My Face chooses are a problem for skin because they cause irritation. Even more upsetting is that they do so without exerting a benefit. The company claims to use the latest scientific research mixed with the best nature has to offer, saying that doesn't leave any room for "unnecessary chemical additives," but there is a lot of research about all kinds of ingredients, natural and synthetic, that indicates they are excellent for skin. Kiss My Face must be doing some inadequate or extremely limited research.
What Kiss My Face lacks is a product range that keeps up with state-of-the-art options from neighboring lines in the mass market. We are leery of any skin-care company that claims to be using the latest research and yet sells sunscreens without reliable UVA protection, toners with irritants, and far more bar soaps, which are also a problem for skin, than water-soluble cleansers. Again, what research are they using? Although the natural slant here is more a front than factual, there are some winning products to consider, and the price point is very attractive, as is the simple packaging. Shopping Kiss My Face carefully can result in some great beauty bargains.
For more information about Kiss My Face, call 845-360-2060 or visit www.kissmyface.com.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.

I have just come from the candidates forum in Indian Land. While it was very informative, all of the candidates with one exception were civil.
The man running against Congressman Mick Mulvaney decided his time was best suited to make personal attacks.
I do not appreciate this type of campaign.
Lynne Carroll
Indian Land
My wife and I attended the "Before You Vote Candidate Forum" on May 26 to hear from all the primary candidates before we go to the polls on June 14.
What I took away from that forum is there are some excellent candidates running for the county council District 1 and the county auditor positions. Any one of those candidates could do a fine job for the citizens of Indian Land and Van Wyck areas.
Lancaster County is fortunate to have Allen Blackmon as a candidate for county auditor.
I had the privilege to work directly and indirectly for him for over 20 years. During that time, I observed Allen treat his employees and taxpayers fairly and compassionately.
He always tried to help anyone in need. He would come in early or stay late to make sure all tasks were handled.
Editor's note: The writer is a candidate for Lancaster County Council District 1.
The county wants to send you another tax bill.
SMS4 is a federal program to protect the nation's drinking water being run by the Environmental Protection Agency. In South Carolina the program is administered by the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC).
This letter is about amusement park rides.
A lot of people are being killed or maimed across this country. I would like to tell you about an experience a friend and I had at the Lancaster fairgrounds.
We were 16 or 17 years old and got on a ride called the Rocket. As we were going round and around, the man stopped the ride. The bolt in the middle was coming loose. I asked what would have happened if it had come all the way loose. He replied, "Y'all would have been uptown. It would have flown apart."
I totally agree with Dr. Steve Stewart's May 18 column concerning President Obama's disregard of the Constitution.
His threat to withhold federal funds to public schools under Title IX is absolutely ludicrous. There is no discrimination based on sex when someone is born male or female and wants to be identified as the opposite sex only based on how they feel in their own mind.
The human race is composed of only two sexes: male or female. Hopefully this executive action will be overturned by the judicial system.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend to Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile and his officers my sincere appreciation for their assistance in resolving a serious traffic-safety problem on Highway 97.
I recently observed and reported the problem to his office, and his officers acted in a timely manner to relay the information to appropriate personnel within the S.C. Highway Department, who promptly corrected the hazardous conditions.
With almost every piece of media flooded with exasperating stories of political warfare and local crime, surprisingly, I came across a delightful story in last week's Lancaster News. This story covered a fun-filled evening for moms and their sons at Clinton Elementary School.
Too often, the headlines of most news stories focus on the criminal acts, perceived injustices and other social problems in our communities. However, the story regarding the mother-son dance brought a blissful flash of some of the good times and things shared in our small community.
Allen Blackmon is an outstanding candidate for county auditor.
I have known Allen and his wife, Jane, for 35-plus years and have watched them raise a wonderful family of two children and now two grandchildren. During this time, he has grown professionally, while at the same time, remaining an active participant in the growth and development of our community.
This week is National Police Week, a time set aside every year to remember police officers who have given their lives in sacrifice to their communities. I wanted to take a moment to express my own gratitude for the officers in Lancaster County, as well as the rest of the state of South Carolina and across the nation.

75th Anniversary
The 'Bad-Marriage' Dilemma
August 15th, 2011
The classic article that got Catholic Digest banned
Photo from Photos.com
When readers started leafing through the pages of their March 1954 copy of Catholic Digest, they may have been startled to see the following notice on page 10:
The 'Bad-Marriage' Dilemma
By request of the Archbishop of Saint Paul, we publish herewith a communication concerning an article that appeared in our January issue under the title, The 'Bad-Marriage' Dilemma.
"Gentlemen: In the next issue of the Catholic Digest please publish a notice in the same relative prominence as was given to the article under the title of The Bad-Marriage Dilemma prohibiting the circulation of the January issue of the Catholic Digest within the Archdiocese of St. Paul.
Very sincerely yours,
+J.G. Murray, Archbishop of St. Paul."
I imagine that readers (except for those in the archdiocese, of course) quickly searched for their January issue to see what the fuss was all about. There they would have found the classic article we present here, written by a well-known and respected English Dominican, Gerald Vann, OP.
Vann was tackling one of the toughest and messiest pastoral subjects, then
or now: how do we respond to people whose marriage is invalid and cannot be validated (divorced and remarried without annulment, for example) and yet who wish to remain in and stay close to the Church?
Church law was quite clear, and Vann upholds it. These persons, then and now, are barred from receiving the sacraments. But the basic pastoral approach at the time was that these "sinners" had no choice but to leave their invalid marriages or live not as a married couple, but as brother and sister.
It's that pastoral approach that Vann wonders about, asking if there might be a way to uphold the law and yet respond in a more compassionate way that might help these couples stay closer to the Church.
I don't know what in the article led Archbishop Murray to ban that issue of Catholic Digest. Maybe he didn't like Vann's pastoral speculations. More likely he was afraid that people would think that the Church was changing its position and it was fine to enter an invalid marriage. In any case, the three priest editors of Catholic Digest were priests of his archdiocese and had no choice but to obey. Certainly they knew the article might be dangerous. They went to the trouble of adding a long editor's note at the beginning of the article listing some of Fr. Vann's considerable credentials and qualifying exactly what topic he was and was not addressing. I can't think of any other article at that time that carried a similar note. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough.
So here from the "banned in St. Paul" January, 1954 issue, is "The 'Bad-Marriage' Dilemma."

First Lady Michelle Obama returns this afternoon from a weeklong trip to China. Along with her mother, Mrs. Marian Robinson, and two daughters, Malia and Sasha, Mrs. Obama visited some of the East Asian nation's most important historical and cultural sites.
Touring China
The first stop on the trip was Beijing, China's capital and one of the largest cities in the world. Madame Peng Liyuan, the wife of Chinese president Xi Jinping, greeted Mrs. Obama and her family. They went on to visit Beijing Normal School, where students talked about their classwork and their day-to-day school schedule. "This visit was a perfect opportunity to highlight the themes of my trip: the value of education and the importance of cultural exchanges between young people in different countries," said Mrs. Obama in a blog post.
The First Lady went on to visit some of China's most important landmarks and museums. While in Beijing, Mrs. Obama toured the Forbidden City, which for nearly 500 years served as the emperor's home. Now, the ornate buildings and outdoor spaces serve as a museum open to the public.
She and her daughters also walked a section of the Great Wall of China, which is the longest man-made construction in the world. They reached this section of the wall by cable car but came back down the mountainside a different way— on toboggans down a long, curving slide.
The next day, they toured the Terracotta Warriors Museum. Discovered in 1976, the 6,000 life-size statues made of terra-cotta clay are remnants of Han dynasty, which ruled China from 206 B.C. to 220 A.D.
The First Lady concluded her time in China at the Chengdu Panda Base. The base serves as a breeding and research center for Pandas, and spans nearly 600 miles of natural habitat for the bears. Mrs. Obama even got the chance to meet some Panda cubs. "They were so tiny—like stuffed animals—and later, I got the chance to hold one of these little guys!" she wrote on her blog.
Global Classrooms
The entire trip was documented on various social media outlets. In addition to her travel blog on the White House site, Mrs. Obama shared photos on Instagram and answered questions from students on Twitter. Outside the Terracotta Warriors Museum, she replied to TIME For Kids readers from Lisa Debo's First Grade Class at McAlpine Elementary School in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Mrs. Obama's trip to China had a strong focus on education. Part of her mission was to emphasize the importance of cultural exchange, and how young people in different countries can learn from each another. She spoke about the importance of learning new languages, understanding and respecting different cultures, and how technology can make global connections for young students possible.
The First Lady has made many trips around the world, advocating for young students and children. Her work continues to create understanding and acceptance between cultures, and bring together classrooms around the world.
A Focus on Education and Health
In addition to work for education, Mrs. Obama's "Let's Move" campaign has been one of her main focuses as First Lady. The program encourages kids to eat well and exercise for a healthier lifestyle. This year, she is hosting a Kids' "State Dinner." The event is part of a contest that challenges kids ages 8 to 12 to create a healthy recipe. The Healthy Lunchtime Challenge will select one winner from each state, as well as Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. territories, to travel to Washington, D.C. and join the First Lady for the special celebration. Applicants have until April 5 to submit their recipes.
To learn more about China's land and culture, take a virtual journey to East Asia with Around the World: China.
