N Korea agrees to suspend nuclear activities: US
North Korea has also agreed to the return of IAEA inspectors to verify and monitor the moratorium on uranium enrichment activities at Yongbyon.
Washington: North Korea has agreed to suspend its nuclear activities and accepted a moratorium on long-range missile launches, the US announced on Wednesday, following breakthrough in talks with Pyongyang.
"To improve the atmosphere for dialogue and demonstrate its commitment to denuclearization, the DPRK has agreed to implement a moratorium on long-range missile launches, nuclear tests and nuclear activities at Yongbyon, including uranium enrichment activities," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
North Korea has also agreed to the return of IAEA inspectors to verify and monitor the moratorium on uranium enrichment activities at Yongbyon and confirm the disablement of the 5-MW reactor and associated facilities, she said in a statement.
The breakthrough, just over two months after the death of longtime dictator Kim Jong Il, was achieved during the just concluded third exploratory round of US-North Korea talks in Beijing, she said, but quickly noted that the Obama Administration still has profound concerns regarding North Korean behaviour across a wide range of areas.
"But today's announcement reflects important, if limited, progress in addressing some of these," she said.
The top official said that the US has agreed to meet with the DPRK to finalize administrative details necessary to move forward with our proposed package of 240,000 metric tons of nutritional assistance along with the intensive monitoring required for the delivery of such assistance.
At the US-North Korea meeting in Beijing on February 23 and 24, she said, the US reaffirmed that it does not have hostile intent toward North Korea and is prepared to take steps to improve our bilateral relationship in the spirit of mutual respect for sovereignty and equality.

Supporters officially kicked off the campaign for the Quality Education and Jobs Initiative, Proposition 204, on Sunday in Phoenix and Tucson. Advocates handed out t-shirts, yard signs and bumper stickers and encouraged supporters to paint "YES on 204" on their car windows. The proposition provides a floor for education spending in Arizona and will strategically reinvest in an education system that suffered the largest cuts in the country in the past four years.
For details on the Quality Education and Jobs Initiative, which renews the one-cent sales tax, provides dedicated funding linked to performance and accountability for students of all ages, and prevents legislators from cutting K-12 funding, click here.

Detectives have been conducting undercover investigations at the Interstate 10 beach and Civic Center grounds since five sex arrests were made there last month, Sheriff Tony Mancuso said.
Five men were arrested for inappropriate behavior in the outdoor public restrooms during a sting operation July 10-11.
The men were seen masturbating in the restrooms in plain view at the beach and at the north end of the Civic Center by the water fountain, Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said.
In an interview after the arrests, Mancuso said detectives would start monitoring the area more aggressively. Undercover detectives have since made several arrests.
Mancuso said detectives make an arrest when they catch someone performing a sex act or soliciting for sex in public facilities or on public grounds.
He said officers were not looking to be the "moral police" but that their primary concern was keeping such activity out of public places.
"We don't want it in our parks and our public areas where our children go and people go to have a relaxing time and enjoy the outdoors and our public facilities," he said.
Mancuso said the parks are safe and that those arrested are not "pedophiles or stalkers" who pose a serious threat to people's safety. He said their behavior was simply inappropriate for where they were.
Mancuso said officers conduct investigations during the day and at night. Employees with the city parks department maintain the restrooms and lock the doors each evening.

Veteran Australian actress Jacki Weaver and new sensation Mia Wasikowska are among an elite group invited to join Hollywood's most exclusive club.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which decides the Oscars each year, announced on Friday it had extended invitations to 178 artists and executives "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures".
Weaver, 64, scored the first Oscar nomination of her long career this year for her chilling performance in the Australian crime drama Animal Kingdom.
Canberra-born 21-year-old Wasikowska has become Hollywood's new darling, starring in a mix of critically-acclaimed films and blockbusters including Alice in Wonderland and The Kids Are All Right.
The other Australians extended invitations to join the Academy won Oscars this year.
They are short animated filmmaker Shaun Tan and producer of The King's Speech, Emile Sherman.
Other notable invitees this year include British comedian Russell Brand, Scottish actor Gerard Butler and Hangover star Bradley Cooper.
In an unprecedented gesture, the list of new members includes documentary filmmaker Tim Hetherington, who was killed in action in Libya in April.
Hetherington had been a 2010 nominee for his film Restrepo.
"These individuals are among the best filmmakers working in the industry today," said Academy President Tom Sherak.
"Their talent and creativity have entertained moviegoers around the world, and I welcome each of them to our ranks."
New members will be welcomed into the Academy at an invitation-only reception in September.
The Academy has just under 6000 members.

Children of this generation are being exposed to technology at a younger age and we want to make the most of their interest by expanding classroom lesson in using technology as a teaching aid. Smartboards are located in all the classrooms and act as a new media form as teachers are able to introduce new lessons in fun and exciting ways. Also, starting in our K3 program, children attend computer class each week. Below is just an overview of some of the skills our teachers are focusing on in laying down a strong educational foundation.
· Hand Eye Coordination: using the mouse helps refine hand & eye coordination (clicking, dragging, and dropping).
· Encourages Creativity: paint programs and games allow children to experiment with colors and different materials (paint brushes, spray paint, buckets, etc.) This also teaches children cause & effect.
· Problem Solving: Build problem solving skills, whether it be a matching game or a puzzle to solve.
· Identification & Recognition: Practice identifying numbers, shapes, colors, letters, sounds, and even animals
· Computer Knowledge: Children need to know how to properly operate a computer, use a mouse & keyboard, and even how to turn on the sound.

the procedure of chemical detox for substance abuse should not affect the mechanism of Botox injections, but if you are under the influence of agents, than it would not be prudent to have Botox injections as this is an elective treatment for cosmetic improvement and you don't want to incur greater risk of complications such as infection from needle sticks if your immune system is affected by the substance abuse. Furthermore, if you're not able to make sound decisions by not comprehending the risks, then you shouldn't decide to have a medical treatment. Waiting until after detox before Botox makes more sense if the choice is still possible.
Can I Detox After Getting Botox?
Doctor Answers 13
Detoxing after Botox
Since Botox works locally where it is injected, there is no problem of a detox program after receiving Botox. There should be no interactions or problems. Dr. Behnam.
Botox not affected by Detox, and No reversal agent for Botox
Botox injections have no none reversal agent, if that is what you are asking about. One good thing (though most consider it bad) about Botox is if you are unhappy with results or have an unwanted side effect, the effect will resolve with time.
Detox procedures-- either for drugs or alcohol, or for "healthful cleansing" do not effect Botox results.

Detox and Botox
Botox injections should not either affect or be affected by detoxification. They are not related to each other at all, and having had Botox treatments should not interfere with any detoxification program.
Botox and Detox
Any Detox program should not affect your Botox results. Botox will last anywhere from 3 to 5 months where it was injected. A Detox program will not affect this.

Botox and detox
Botox works locally and should have no effect on a detox program to cleanse your body. Just make sure you got to a reputable person for this.

Can I detox after getting Botox?
There should be no conflict in participating in a detox program such as a fast, or from addiction, after a Botox treatment. The affects of Botox cosmetic are local.
Detox after Botox
Botox injections are very localized, irreversible reactions that all happen within a short distance (about one centimeter) around the treated area. Detoxifying your body after Botox injections will not affect your results.

Yes, you can detox after BOTOX®
Hi Marietta,
If you mean: "Can I go into detox for drugs, alcohol, etc after having BOTOX®?"
the answer is of course you can. Many people find it helpful to take extra care of their personal appearance during stressful times like that, and BOTOX® can certainly be part of your self-care routine.
If you meant: "Can I detox [in the sense of "reversing the effects of BOTOX®] after having BOTOX®?" the answer is that, like all proteins in your body, BOTOX® [and other formulations of BTX-A] are naturally cleared from your body, generally within 3-12 months, depending on the dose and the area treated. You can speed up the recovery of treated muscles by trying as hard as you can to exercise them, for 5 minutes, 5 times a day.
Best wishes,
Kevin Smith MD FRCPC Niagara Falls Ontario
Detox is a lay expression and has not specific meaning.
Dear Marietta
In order to provide a meaningful answer to this questions, one needs to know what you me by "detoxification." If you are talking about, fasting, purging, or other dietary so-called detoxifications, no problems. If you are talking about ridding yourself of a chemical dependence, again this should not be a problems. If you are asking if it is possible to get rid of the effect the BOTOX after treatment if you do not like the effects of treatment, then the answer is no. There is no specific antivenom that will neutralized BOTOX. However, the product does where off after after two months.

Waiting on the Fed
By Paul Cherney
Technically, the markets remain below key levels of resistance. If there are closes above S&P 500 1242.62 or Nasdaq 2186.83, I would expect them to usher in a short-term upleg.
On a sentiment basis, even if the Fed does not pause at its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 20, I think the markets are going pick though the post-meeting statement with a fine-tooth comb in an effort to seek-out, "spin," the post meeting announcement in a bullish fashion. I think the markets are going to try to focus on only those phrases that can be interpreted to mean a pause in the rate tightening can come. I think there is some potential for the Fed to surprise with a pause at Tuesday's meeting; if that happens, intraday trading could be volatile as some big players might become concerned that the Fed is very concerned about the longer-term impact of Katrina. I think the markets ultimately could see a short-term leg higher on the news.
The yellow flag of caution for the Nasdaq (produced last week), has not been extinguished by the price action of Thursday or Friday, the Nasdaq has had a close under 2146.00 and the potential (technically) for lower prices remains in place. but if there is a close above the Nasdaq 2186.83 level, then this cautionary condition would have to be declared wrong; a failure.
In terms of an FOMC meeting day, a common pattern for prices is little movement up or down until closer to the announcement. There should be a lot of players making headline bets and when the announcement is made the potential for a short move in one direction, a reversal and a another reversal for the direction of prices would be in place.
There is another wild-card for Tuesday and the rest of the week: Tropical Storm Rita.
On Tuesday, at 8:30 am ET, reports on housing starts and building permits for August will be reported.
Immediate Resistances:
• The Nasdaq has intraday resistance 2158-2163; resistance is formidable at 2165-2186.83, and gets gets thick at 2177-2186.83. Resistances are stacked, the next layer of chart significance is 2201-2249. Resistance thickens at 2211-2233.
• S&P 500 resistance is formidable at 1229-1242.62. A combination of several intraday plateaus creates a focus of resistance at 1238-1242.62. The next focus of resistance above 1245 is 1249.23-1267.
Immediate Supports:
• Nasdaq intraday support is 2147.31-2139 (intraday charts). Next support (under 2139) is 2131-2112.25. The Nasdaq's major support is 2106-2039, and it is a critical support, that, if broken would open the downside for sub-2000 prints. Inside the 2106-2039 support layer, there is a focus of support at 2106-2076 and this is still a likely spot for the markets to make a stand (if tested).
• Chart pattern studies I have done suggest that if the Nasdaq has a close below the 2146 level, additional downside is likely, but it is the reaction to the FOMC's announcement that will dictate price action.
• The S&P 500 has immediate intraday support at 1234-1224.85. Thursday's price action opened the intraday risk for a test of the 1222-1215 area, but sideways ahead of the FOMC meeting should prevent prices from undercutting 1224.85. Next support is 1206-1165 with a focus of support at 1206-1183. This is a very strong layer of support and if it were tested, I would still expect it to hold on the test. If the index experiences a close under 1218.02, a retest of 1206-1195 area would be expected.

Cosgrove can be a matchup problem for most opposing teams. It's not that the 5-foot 7-inch senior guard is an unguardable scorer or big rebounder.
In fact, Cosgrove doesn't have a defined role for the Trojans. She just plays hard. From finding a little space on the baseline for a jumper or boxing out girls four inches taller than her, Cosgrove does a little bit of everything for McDowell.
In an impressive 60-52 win over North East on Feb. 1, Cosgrove, who averages 8.5 points per game, dropped in 20 for the Trojans.

"Prometheus" Releases International Poster
Sharing a little taste of what's to come, a new International poster for the movie "Prometheus" hit the web over the weekend.
The forthcoming "Alien" prequel revolves around a team of scientists and explorers who take a thrilling journey that tests their physical and mental limits.
Hitting theaters on June 8th, the flick stars Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Sean Harris and Guy Pearce.
Of her character in the film, Theron told press, "I play somewhat of a villain in it. She's the suit that runs the company that has nickeled and dimed this whole thing together, to fund this mission. She starts out one thing and ends up another thing. It's a pretty nice surprise, toward the third act, so I don't want to ruin that for you, but she really does start out very one-dimensional."

Jake was a 6-month old puppy in 2003 when he disappeared from his yard the day after Thanksgiving. That was in Michigan. He was apparently dropped off at a kennel in Kentucky this week where a staff member found him in an after-hours kennel wearing a shock collar and nothing else to give any information about him. The scanner picked up the microchip, which prompted a call to Brad Davis, who still lives in Michigan. He thought it was a wrong number until they said they located him because of his dog's microchip. Davis is headed to Kentucky to pick up Jake.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
With live music venues around the country struggling and even closing, it's rare to see a new club start up, and practically inconceivable for one to emerge as part of a brand new mixed-use development in a medium-sized Midwestern city. But that's just what happened in Omaha last month, when the folks behind Saddle Creek records launched Slowdown, a 500-capacity venue. The club is part of a snazzy new two-building complex developed by the label (home to Bright Eyes, Cursive and The Faint) that houses their headquarters, apartments and an art-house theater, and soon, a restaurant, coffee house, and (cough) an Urban Outfitters. (Yeah, I know, I shop there too.)
It was a broiling hot Nebraska afternoon when I stopped by last week, but it was nice and cool inside Slowdown. The space is sleek and modern, complete with black tile and polished concrete; moreover, since the building is new, everything is, well, clean -- those of us used to clubs coated with 40 years of grime might feel a bit odd. Booker Val Nelson proudly showed me around the backstage area, built to their specifications: a driveway for load-in is mere feet from the stage, for instance, and the dressing room (complete with washer and dryer) is nicer than my apartment.
Mostly, though, it's just going to be a great place to see a band, with state-of-the-art sound and a comfortable layout. Groups like Built to Spill, Jimmy Eat World and the Rentals are already booked. Saddle Creek manager Jason Kulbel downplayed the significance of the label branching out, saying Slowdown just filled a gap: "Typical larger cities, and even some the same size of Omaha, often have many nice venues to choose from." Sure, but they don't have minor indie rock celebrities filling in as bartenders, and a record label for a landlord. Nebraska music fans, I never thought I'd say this, but I envy you.

Relativity has set Pierce Brosnan spy movie November Man for release in the U.S. on August 27, the Wednesday before the Labor Day holiday weekend. At the same time, the company is pushing back the release of Natalie Portman's high-profile Western Jane Got a Gun from its original release date of Friday, Aug. 29. A new release date has not yet been announced.
Relativity Media has set "November Man," which stars Pierce Brosnan as a former spy, for an Aug. 27 release in the U.S.
Brosnan starred as the iconic spy in four James Bond films, the last of which, "Die Another Day," was released in 2002.

Hello Everyone,
I thought I would join up on here as I've eventually found a car that I'll maybe hold onto for longer than a few weeks.
I've bought a silver '98 E36 318i SE from a mate about 3 weeks ago. Don't usually buy from friends but it's had £300 spent on tyres and £200 on the exhaust in the past few months. I don't know much about the mechanicals of a car, but I think it's the M43 engine? It's got 136k miles, looks completely standard, and has a stainless exhaust on it. The exhaust isn't really to my taste but it's actually quite quiet when driven properly and it looks standard with just a single twin tailpipe.
As you'll know it isn't the fastest car in the world, but I'm getting over 50 miles to a tenner which isn't too bad considering today's prices at the pumps and the fact the car could do with a service soon! I've had 18 cars in 30 months if I take out the time a guy in a funny wig put me off the road!
I'll be hanging onto this for at least a year I hope. I managed to get a discount of about 40% on insurance from my renewal coming up due to their error, so I know if make the slightest change they'll be reaching for the wee cornflake if you know what I mean. Long story short, was quoted for my old Focus and was told it was the BM, bought the car and phoned up to hear the bad news, told them I worked in insurance and threatened them with the FSA, they honoured the quote, eventually. Makes a hell of a difference being under 25 with a ban on my record!
Anyways, you might find I can go on a bit at times and tell some bad jokes but I'm not that much of a pain in the arse!
While I'm here, my front offside shock absorber is on it's way out and I'd be aswell replacing the springs at the same time. Am I better just replacing them with standard parts, or spending a wee bit more? I'm not looking to drop the height but if it wouldn't cost much why not? I'm not looking to spend mega money on a car that costs a few hundred quid.
I'm a bit of a lurker, but I like a good joke. I'm guessing that I can't be posting anything offensive on here like something the good man Jim Jeffries would say?
Cheers, Dave

Nest has expanded its range of smarter home devices, with the Nest Protect officially unveiled as an intelligent smoke and carbon monoxide detector.
Brining your home into the 21st century, the Nest Protect follows on from the energy saving Nest Thermostat, and offers Wi-Fi and app connected protection against smoke and carbon monoxide damage.
"Safety shouldn't be annoying," Matt Rogers, Nest's Vice President of Engineering stated. "It was unacceptable to us that one in eight houses in the UK have a non-functioning smoke alarm. These products are required by law and are supposed to keep us safe, yet people hate them. We wanted to change that, so we created Nest Protect: Smoke Carbon Monoxide."
Nest Protect Features
More than your standard smoke alarm, the Nest Protect offers security against smoke, carbon monoxide and heat emergencies, as well as playing host to an array of integrated LED lights which can act as a motion-sensitive pathlight during evening hours.
Ridding you of those false alarms and irritating beeps, the Nest Protect benefits from a 'heads-up' feature which will give a vocal alert to rising smoke or CO levels which have not yet reached emergency levels.
What's more, if triggered by the likes of a burnt slice of toast or an overly steamy shower, the Nest Protect will not require you to hard reset the device. Instead, inbuilt motion sensors let you simply wave at the device to let it know everything is ok and the alarms can be stopped.
With multiple Nest Protect sensors in the same property able to communicate between each other to give you more accurate emergency alerts, the detector can be connected to your Wi-Fi network, with a downloadable iOS and Android app relaying alarm notifications, battery levels and sensor statuses.
Offering a final layer of protection, and again taking some of the irritation out of standard alarms, the Nest Protect offers a nightly promise, letting you know that sensors are clean and battery levels are high enough to get you through the evening without unnecessary distraction.
Nest Protect Release Date and Price
Set to be available in both white and black colour schemes to fit in with your home's styling, Nest Protect release date has been set for November. The sensor is to be made available in two forms, a battery powered option and a 230V cabled version.
Far from cheap, the Nest Protect price has been confirmed at £109. With both iterations to set wannabe owners back the same amount, the futuristic smoke and CO detector is to be made available through Apple stores, Amazon and John Lewis.
"Representing the very latest in connected devices, the Nest Protect is helping to set a new standard in what technology is capable of within the home," Ed Connolly, Buying Director for Electricals and Home Technology at John Lewis said of the device. "Wireless home automation is more accessible to the consumer than ever before and a trend we are seeing an increasing demand for, with sales of related products at John Lewis up by 156 per cent since the same period last year. It's a category we expect to see significant growth in in 2014."

Shakeology Basics
Today, I'm going to share with you my Shakeology review and 3-day cleanse results.
At the end of November, I started drinking Shakeology. I drank it once a day and as a meal replacement. For me, that meal was usually breakfast since it worked best with my schedule. Shakeology is unlike any meal replacement shake I've ever had. In the past, I've tried products like Slim Fast, which honestly taste like chalk after the third day.
Shakeology is the only meal replacement shake that not only has a wonderful nutritional profile, but also tastes delicious. There are a variety of ingredients you can add and recipes you can make and all you need is ice and a blender. Once I have my shake, I am full for hours! My favorite is the Chocolate Vegan Shakeology.
Ever since I started drinking Shakeology in the morning, I have felt energized and ready to take on the day. Overall, I feel better and my skin has improved. I've been drinking it pretty consistently since November, except for a few days during the holidays. I haven't really lost any weight from it, but that's because I haven't been trying to use it as a weight loss tool. My other meals haven't changed much and I still indulge pretty often. I should probably work on that!
Shakeology Three Day Cleanse Instructions
So, when Brandi challenged me to take on the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse over Martin Luther King weekend, I figured why not? It was the perfect weekend to do it since we had three full days off and Todd was out of town. I could simply hide in my apartment… just me, my blender, and Shakeology
The image above outlines the challenge very well, but I'll go more in detail here, with some personal additions.
- Breakfast: The most important meal of the day started with green tea followed by Shakeology and I could add a half piece of fruit, if I wanted to. I had oranges on hand, so for the first two days I added half an orange to my morning shake.
- Snack 1: For my snack, I had a full orange. Looking back, I wish I had more variety of fruit on hand because oranges got old fast.
- Lunch: Lunch was Shakeology with an option to add of a half piece of fruit. For the first two days, I added fruit. Lunch was followed by green tea.
- Snack 2: Shakeology.
- Dinner: A salad with greens, vegetables, 4 ounces of a lean protein (chicken, fish, or tofu), and a low fat dressing. I choose chicken and a light dressing from Trader Joe's.
- Random Notes:
- Lots and lots of water was encouraged throughout the challenge.
- I could switch my dinner and lunch, if it worked better for my schedule
- Shakeology included just ice and water
- No, I could not have coffee
- Did I mention drinking LOTS of water?
Shakeology Cleanse Side Effects
It's time to go through my day-to-day diary of how I felt each day.
Day 1 of the Shakeology Cleanse (Saturday)
Day 1 was not too difficult. I woke up and immediately had some green tea and Shakeology. I knew I wouldn't feel the effects until later in the day because the coffee withdrawal would probably kick in. I usually have one or two cups of coffee a day, first thing in the morning and I knew my body would miss it. As soon as I was done with my lunch time shake, I was out of the house running errands. While out, I stopped at Caribou Coffee and picked up a green tea for the road. It wasn't until I arrived home in the late afternoon that I realized how tired I was. For the rest of the day, I was parked in front of the TV and had an early bedtime.
Day 2 of the Shakeology Cleanse (Sunday)
Day 2 was probably my worst day. First, I went to a the bridal bazaar and there were a ton of yummy looking cupcakes, cakes, and savory dishes for people to sample. I only walked around for about a half an hour before I was too tired to continue. Plus, the temptation of the sugary dishes was too much. I went home, had another shake, and was back out off to the theater. While the theater was really fun, I was so exhausted. It felt like there was a cloud around me and all I wanted to do was sleep! This was also the day I was overly emotional. Once I got home, I turned on Biggest Loser (I had it saved on DVR) and I cried a few times watching people weigh-in, which is NOT like me. Clearly, I needed to put myself to bed! Was the cleanse over yet?!
Day 3 of the Shakeology Cleanse (Monday)
On Day 3, I was excited because it was the last day (woo-hoo!). I knew that in the morning, I could eat like normal again. Day 3 was the only day that I did not have fruit with my breakfast and lunch shakes, but I did have the morning fruit snack. It was also the day that I switched my dinner salad with my Shakeology lunch. I met Todd's mom out at Aladdin's in Crocker Park for lunch and ordered a gigantic salad with chicken and a green tea. It was delicious, but I started to feel a slight headache come on. Later, in the afternoon, I met my friend Sarah for coffee/tea (green tea for me!) and came home with a huge headache. The entire night, the headache that I was fighting all day was in full force and I could barely sleep. In the morning, I took some Excedrin to relieve the pain.
Recovery Day
On Tuesday, I felt like I was on a cloud and in recovery. To be honest, I thought that I would eat everything in sight but that simply wasn't the case. I woke up, had some Shakeology (with peanut butter) and made myself a healthy salad for lunch. I did this without even thinking. I think the Shakeology challenge cleansed my mind by hitting the mental reset button for healthy living. I fought my headache all day, but eventually it went away.
Shakeology Three Day Cleanse Results
For this challenge, I weighed myself every day, first thing in the morning before eating anything.
Morning of Day 2: - 2.8 lbs
Morning of Day 3:- 1 lb
Morning After Challenge:- 0.8 lb
TOTAL LOST: 4.6 lbs
Shakeology Cleanse Review
All in all, I'm happy I did the challenge! I loved the results, even though I'm sure I'll gain the weight back. But, you never know.
In my opinion, it was more of a mental cleanse. It was about realizing that I could follow a strict diet and cut out the crap. Honestly, I'm someone who is skeptical of cleanses and I still am. I believe that your body naturally cleanses itself, which I still believe to be true. In this case, it mentally cleansed me of food clutter in my life. This cleanse refocused my inner workings of healthy living and proved that I could do anything I put my mind to.
What do you think? Have you ever completed the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse or another type of cleanse?

PHILADELPHIA — Bill Cosby's lawyers will take another run at getting his criminal sex-assault case thrown out when the comedian returns to court Thursday in Montgomery County.
Cosby's lawyers will renew arguments that the accuser should be forced to testify, and face cross-examination, before his case is held for trial.
The law on that point remains in flux in Pennsylvania. A state appeals court ruled last year that victims do not have to testify at preliminary hearings, to spare them from repeated court appearances. Police can instead read their statements.
But the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has agreed to review the issue. Cosby, whose case was earlier held for trial,...

Dialysis Access
A dialysis access is a site on a person's body created so that blood or other fluids can be removed, filtered, and returned to the body during dialysis. Dialysis is a process that performs the work of healthy kidneys for people who have kidney failure.
Before dialysis can begin, the doctor has to create a dialysis access. For hemodialysis, the access is the place where the dialysis needles are inserted to send the blood to and from the dialysis machine. In peritoneal dialysis, the access is the place where a catheter is connected so fluid can flow into and out of the belly.
Depending on the type of dialysis, the doctor may:
- Attach an artery to a vein, usually in the lower arm. This is called a fistula. After the fistula is healed, the dialysis needles can be put directly into it. Fistulas tend to be stronger and less prone to infection than grafts.
- Implant a tube (graft) under the skin of an arm or leg that connects an artery and a vein. The dialysis needles can then be put into the graft for hemodialysis. A graft is a good choice if the person has small veins or other problems.
- Place a tube (catheter) in the belly for peritoneal dialysis.
Usually, the doctor has to prepare the dialysis access weeks to months before it is needed. This gives the access time to heal. If a person needs emergency dialysis, the doctor may create a temporary access by inserting a catheter into a vein in the neck, upper chest, or groin.

Killer dentist Colin Howell bankrupt over his tax bill
Killer dentist Colin Howell was declared bankrupt yesterday for owing more than £250,000 in taxes.
A High Court order was made against Howell, who is serving a minimum 21-year jail sentence for murdering his wife and his former lover's husband, following a petition by HM Revenue and Customs Commissioners.
Legal papers seeking his bankruptcy had stated: "There is a serious possibility that the debtor's property and/or the value of any of his property will be diminished."
The commissioners also claimed the 52-year-old had no reasonable prospect of being able to pay an aggregate debt of £252,472.55.
Confirmation of his financial plight comes two months after he was back in court to plead guilty to sexually assaulting five female patients. Howell, formerly of Glebe Road, Castlerock, carried out the attacks over a 10-year period between 1998 and 2008.
Last December the self-confessed killer received a double life term for the murders of his wife Lesley (31) and Constable Trevor Buchanan, the 32-year-old husband of his ex-lover Hazel Stewart.
The victims were found together in a fume-filled car in Castlerock in May 1991. They had been gassed to death.
Police at the time believed the pair died in a suicide pact, but the case was reopened by detectives after they again questioned the dentist about the deaths.
The judge who jailed Howell described the double murders as "truly heinous crimes, constituting as they did the cold-blooded, carefully-planned and ruthlessly executed double murder of two people who Howell saw as standing in the way of his adulterous desire to be with Hazel Buchanan".
In March Howell's former lover, who became known as Hazel Stewart after remarrying, was also found guilty of the two murders.
The 48-year-old mother of two, of Ballystrone Road, Macosquin, was told she would serve a minimum of 18 years for her part in the killings. She has lodged an appeal against her murder convictions, which were in part secured on the basis of Howell's evidence.

Association for Enterprise Information (AFEI) released the report, "Industry Perspectives on the Future of DoD IT Acquisition" in support of the Department of Defense response to the requirements of Section 804 of the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act. This report addresses industry perspectives on the new acquisition process for information technology, as required by the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Download
The report was created by a pro-bono industry task force and included members from the Department and the Military Services.
The objective of this task force was to offer unsolicited views of a team of industrial and academic experts to inform the OSD report to Congress on "Implementation of New Acquisition Process for Information Technology" mandated by section 804 of the 2010 National Defense Appropriations Act (NDAA). The report focuses on required changes in behavior and pragmatic means to incentivize those behavior changes within the realistic constraints of the "as is" Defense acquisition landscape.
Major RecommendationThe over-arching recommendation is to institute continuous, iterative, development, test, and certification processes that drive the commercial IT state-of-the-art to deliver more trusted, standard, off-the-shelf building blocks. In this model the ability to "bundle" trusted components becomes a critical unit of production.
The DoD should begin implementation of the improved IT acquisition process immediately by chartering a number of independent, three-year pilot projects who's sponsors are incentivized for their own reasons to develop enterprise capability. These pilots will lead to a self-sustained persistent Development, Test, and Certification environment associated with a flourishing marketplace of "net-ready" re-useable components.
Report to Congress
Deputy Secretary William Lynn signed out on December 9 the DoD Report to congress required by Section 804 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010.
The report, entitled A New Approach for Delivering Information Technology Capabilities in the Department of Defense, updates DoD's progress towards a new acquisition process for information capabilities. The IT Acquisition Task Force, led by Honorable Elizabeth McGrath, DCMO, also contibuted to the Implementation Plan released by Vivek Kundra on the same day.

Just wondering- How many here feel comfortable FMQ on their domestic machines and how many have tried more than stippling and meandering?? If you have tried, do you have any special things/techniques you do to make the process successful?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just wondering- How many here feel comfortable FMQ on their domestic machines and how many have tried more than stippling and meandering?? If you have tried, do you have any special things/techniques you do to make the process successful?
I did this rather easily many years ago, but apparently have forgotten something crucial... They tell me it takes hours of practice before one should touch the actual quilt, and that's the part I haven't done yet. My old machine was a lovely Pfaff, and now I have a pretty basic Brother, so that may make a difference once I get around to practicing. I will check back here to see what others say.
I do FMQ my quilts and have found one of the biggest things is to have the quilt supported on all sides - avoid drag at all costs I've recently acquired a Janome 6600P and the larger throat space is nice and makes it easier to manuever. I think a supreme slider and quilting gloves help quite a bit.
Yes, I do all my quilting on a domestic - I don't own a mid or long arm.
It took a while, but I have become comfortable with it. I STILL practice though! Each time I want to try a new quilting motif (and there are still a LOT that are new to me), or one that I've not done in some time, I practice ... a LOT. I don't ... and I mean NEVER, put my quilt under the machine until I've practiced the motions over and over with the same thread, batting and fabric. Even if I plan on quilting using something I'm very familiar with (stipling for example), I'll still do a short practice with the same batting, fabric and thread to make sure everything plays together properly.
I am in fact practicing two motions now that I plan on using on my mini lone-star. I started practicing Sunday, I'll probably not touch the real quilt until this weekend at the earliest.
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
I'm pretty comfortable with my FMQ. I totally agree though, that practise is the key. If I'm trying a new pattern, first I practise on paper until I've got the ins and outs figured out. Then I practise on small 14" square quilt sandwiches. When I'm done them, I just serge around the edge and donate them to animal shelters. Only when I feel confident about a pattern do I use it on a quilt.
I used to be "hot", now it's just "hot flashes!"
I have never FMQed on my sewing machine! Well, I can't say that really. I've practiced some but it is hard for me; as I understand it, you go fast on the foot pedal but slow(er) on moving the quilt. That's hard for me even with headphones on. If anyone has any advice, I'm listening.
I am gradually improving my FMQ skills. I would say the biggest asset I've discovered is Hobbs 80/20 fusible quilt batt. Until I started using it, I would always end up with a wrinkle or pucker somewhere on the back of my quilt. It would drive me up the wall! I am going to try the spray basting when the weather gets nice because I think it would work well too. There is just something about the sandwich being stabilized that makes it easier to avoid wrinkles. My Bernina with the BSR does help to reduce micro stitches but I can do a fairly descent job without it too.
Take a look at patsythompsondesigns.com. I found this site this week, tried a feather design (her tutorials are on youtube), and was so pleased with the results that I ordered two of her books. Take a look, you'll see!
FMQ on a DSM is extremely difficult. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Many talk the talk but few can walk the walk, even with practice, myself included. My LQS now has a long arm machine. I signed up for lessons on it. I can then FMQ for $15 an hour. I think it's a good deal because I've thrown away quilts with fabrics worth much more than the $ it would take to longarm my next quilt. I also have to take into account the aggravation/tearing my hair out factor. I really excited about the class. Maybe you know someone who would let you rent their longarm.

Boys Basketball: Blong, Comstock combine for 43 points, 21 rebounds in win
ST. CLOUD — Class 4A's eighth-ranked Brainerd Warriors continued one of their best regular seasons ever as they rolled past the St. Cloud Apollo Eagles 79-64 in Thursday's Central Lakes Conference game.
Jacob Blong finished with a game-high 25 points and snared 11 rebounds while Marcus Comstock chipped in 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Brothers Tony and Jack Sauer each finished with 11 points.
Brainerd hit 26-50 (52 percent) from the field.
"We played a really good game on the road tonight and our kids were really focused," said Brainerd coach Scott Stanfield. "We already had the conference won and it looks like we'll be the No. 1 seed, so some people might think we didn't have that much to play for tonight, but the kids were solid all-around and focused on the court.
"Jacob and Marcus were solid on offense and our defensive ball pressure was phenomenal. Tony and Jack defensively took Apollo out of some of the things they wanted to do."
The CLC champion Warriors have won eight in a row, are 22-1 overall, 14-0 in conference. They had defeated Apollo 67-28 Jan. 15 in Brainerd.
"We're really looking forward to next week (against Rocori, Grand Rapids and Fergus Falls)," said Stanfield. "Monday, kids get in free with their parents and can get an autographed team picture."
Apollo 28 36 — 64
Brainerd 38 41 — 79
Isaac Rakke 7, Noel Teigen 9, Brett Maslonkowski 21, Ethan Novacinski 4, Trevor Tesch 6, Jack Atkinson 4, Jeremy Koffi 13. FG 24-47 (51 percent), FT 11-16 (69 percent). 3-point 5-13 (38 percent).
Tony Sauer 11, Jack Sauer 11, Taylor Huber 2, Jacob Blong 25, Marcus Comstock 18, Ian Haug 3, Chris Bowman 3, Jagar Hanson 6. FG 26-50 (52 percent), FT 23-29 (79 percent). 3-point 4-14 (29 percent). Conference: 14-0. Overall: 22-1. Next: host Rocori 7:30 p.m. Monday.

the forenoon's public business, and his gait grew absent as he recurred now to
his jottings in their accumulation, with a slight pain at their number, and the
definite fear that they would be more in seasons to come. They were the names
of his friends' children to whom his excellent heart moved him to give Christmas
presents. He had put off this regenerating evil until the latest day, as was his
custom, and now he was setting forth to do the whole thing at a blow, entirely
planless among the guns and rocking-horses that would presently surround him.
As he reached the highway he heard himself familiarly addressed from a
distance, and, turning, saw four sons of the alkali jogging into town from the
plain. One who had shouted to him galloped out from the others, rounded the
Capitol's enclosure, and, approaching with radiant countenance leaned to reach
the hand of the Governor, and once again greeted him with a hilarious "Hello,
Governor Barker, M.D., seeing Mr. McLean unexpectedly after several years,
hailed the horseman with frank and lively pleasure, and, inquiring who might be
the other riders behind, was told that they were Shorty, Chalkeye, and Dollar Bill,
come for Christmas. "And dandies to hit town with," Mr. McLean added. "Red-
"I am acquainted with them," assented his Excellency.
"We've been ridin' trail for twelve weeks," the cow-puncher continued, "makin' our
beds down anywheres, and eatin' the same old chuck every day. So we've shook
fried beef and heifer's delight, and we're goin' to feed high."
Then Mr. McLean overflowed with talk and pungent confidences, for the holidays
already rioted in his spirit, and his tongue was loosed over their coming rites.
"We've soured on scenery," he finished, in his drastic idiom. "We're sick of
moonlight and cow-dung, and we're heeled for a big time."
"Call on me," remarked the Governor, cheerily, "when you're ready for bromides
and sulphates."
"I ain't box-headed no more," protested Mr. McLean; "I've got maturity, Doc,
since I seen yu' at the rain-making, and I'm a heap older than them hospital days
when I bust my leg on yu'. Three or four glasses and quit. That's my rule."
"That your rule, too?" inquired the Governor of Shorty, Chalkeye, and Dollar Bill.
These gentlemen of the saddle were sitting quite expressionless upon their
"We ain't talkin', we're waitin'," observed Chalkeye; and the three cynics smiled
"Well, Doc, see yu' again," said Mr. McLean. He turned to accompany his brother

church, in which the trees and the buoyant clouds were the pillars, flowers and grass the
velvet carpeting, and heaven itself the large cupola. The red colors above faded away as the
sun vanished, but a million stars were lighted, a million lamps shone; and the King's Son
spread out his arms towards heaven, and wood, and sea; when at the same moment, coming
by a path to the right, appeared, in his wooden shoes and jacket, the poor boy who had been
confirmed with him. He had followed his own path, and had reached the spot just as soon
as the son of the king had done. They ran towards each other, and stood together hand in

bell: blessed spirits floated around them, and lifted up their voices in a rejoicing hallelujah!

In fact, 38 kids die from it each year, according to public-safety advocacy group KidsAndCars.org. "With the heatstroke, I think that they are totally unaware that the inside of a car can heat up as fast as it does," says Joann Moss, injury prevention education coordinator with the Kohl's Injury Prevention Program (KIPP) of Children's Hospital of Michigan, based in Detroit. So a parent will take the risk to run a simple errand. Or, even worse, many parents actually forget the child is in the car because he or she is sleeping or very quiet. If you want to ensure that you keep your child safe this summer, here are some tips to make sure you don't forget him or her in the car. SafeKids.org suggests leaving an item of importance next to your child – including a briefcase, purse or cell phone – anything you need once you reach your destination. Make it a habit of looking at the front and back of the vehicle before you exit. Create a calendar reminder to drop your child off at daycare. Set up a system with your child care provider. Have them call you if your child has not been dropped off by her father, for example, on a day that mom would normally take the kid to child care. "It's really important for you to put some things into place; even more so if you're changing the routine," Moss says. Take action if you see a child alone in a car. Be sure to call 911. Learn more about the how common it is for parents leave little children alone in a vehicle, according to a study – and discover even more tips.

A Vision Of Empowerment
Wednesday - April 19, 2006
Just havin' fun at SSFM (left to right): Kevin
Nakamoto, Wendy McLain and Corey Matsuoka
When the economy is good, businesses prosper and everyone benefits. Hawaii's economy has created great opportunities for SSFM and has kept all 108 employees quite busy.
This was not always the case. When I joined the company eight years ago, the local economy was not as robust. I had just returned from Kyoto University doing research for my master's thesis in structural engineering, and was hired by Michael Matsumoto, the company's president and CEO. It was his vision at that time to infuse the office with younger employees to balance the veteran engineers who had years of experience.
His vision is already beginning to reap dividends. The newer employees have been given a range of opportunities to grow professionally and develop leadership skills and today, almost 10 years later, many of the younger employees have moved into middle and upper management positions.
When I first started, my boss would say, "SSFM is a great place to work. After three years here you get six years of experience." That definitely seems true, and I feel that I've been on the accelerated course. A few years after joining SSFM, I was dispatched to serve as the sole engineer in our Saipan office and later volunteered to help start SSFM's Hilo office. After getting married, I decided it was time to come home and assumed the leadership of SSFM's Project Management and Environmental Planning Group.
Throughout my journeys and various responsibilities, I have been lucky enough to work for and with great managers, and tried to take the best of each to make up my own managerial style and to integrate it into SSFM's corporate culture:
1) First and foremost, do the right thing. This one statement serves as a guide in many different situations. If you make a mistake, do whatever it takes to fix it. Be impeccable with your words, say what you mean, mean what you say and fulfill your promises.
2) Empower your employees. At SSFM, our employees are given a tremendous amount of responsibility and the resources to make things happen. It's very exciting to know that at SSFM, you will go as far and as quickly as your desire and ability take you.
3) Become a part of the community. With offices on every major island in the state and throughout the Pacific, SSFM tries to provide our employees with the opportunity to work where they want and be available for our clients at the same time. Just this past year we have participated in the Christmas Lokahi project, Habitat for Humanity's Build-athon, Kapa'a Elementary School's Popsicle Bridge Building Contest, provided internships for high school students from Roosevelt and scholarships for University of Hawaii Civil Engineering students.
4) All for one and one for all. Walk into SSFM's office and you won't find any isolating cubicles as we stress openness and team-work. Everyone has the same size desk from the student intern to the group managers, as no one is better than anyone else. Corporate goals, strategies and financial information are also available for everyone to review and provide recommendations. Along with our open-door policy, we also have quarterly business summits for all of our project managers.
5) Do high-quality work, on budget and on time. We have been in business since 1959 and instilled this in our corporate culture since day one. SSFM also has partnered with companies of similar mindsets in Hawaii, the continental U.S. and in Asia to provide our clients with the best possible solutions to their projects.
6) Provide a good working environment. Contrary to popular belief, engineers like to have fun too. And I mean normal fun, like ping pong, karate, parties and Toastmasters, all of which are provided for at our office. Outside of the office, SSFM also sponsors softball and basketball teams.
Today, as part of SSFM's management team, I want to perpetuate that same empowering environment and culture. All of these activities are designed to open the world to our staff as well as help prepare the next young generation of project managers, planners and engineers.
Next Week: Anthony Pfaltzgraf, Executive Director Kalihi YMCA

The receivers for Rod Petricevic's Bridgecorp have now all but written off the failed finance firm's biggest loan, $106.6 million sunk into the ill-starred Momi Resort development in Fiji.
In an update late last month to Bridgecorp's 14,500 investors who are owed about $460 million, PricewaterhouseCoopers' Colin McCloy and Maurice Noone noted media reports that the first mortgage holder over the development, the Fiji Provident Fund, had now acquired the property following an unsuccessful auction in August.
PwC were continuing to investigate potential actions to recover funds, but the outcome remained uncertain, "and it is likely that complete loss will be suffered on this loan exposure".
"Political developments in Fiji continue to impact upon the availability to progress any recovery efforts."
Delays and other issues relating to the realisation of Bridgecorp's overseas assets, including two Australian hotels, meant PwC was unable to come up with a a reliable estimate of the timing or amount of likely returns to investors but McCloy and Noone reiterated their view that debenture holders would receive less than 10c in the dollar.
Meanwhile, in an update to investors in National Finance 2000, whose failure in early 2006 marked the beginning of the $5 billion meltdown in the finance company sector, McCloy advised of a final 9c payout, taking total returns to 49c in the dollar.
In what he said would be the final update to investors as the receivership neared its final stages, McCloy also advised investors that National Finance 2000's boss Allan Ludlow and another man, who has name suppression, were now facing Serious Fraud Office charges.

Scorpions Are Ready to Strike with 3-D Concert DVD, New Album and Documentary
Just because the Scorpions are in the midst of a farewell tour doesn't mean that the end of the road is near as far as band projects are concerned.
Singer Klaus Meine says a 3-D concert DVD is in the works, and it should be on the market in the next few months.
But that's not all. Meine adds that a new Scorpions album and a career-spanning documentary are also on the horizon.

- A One-Hour Kayak or Paddle Board Rental
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Dotting the edge of Long Island—buoyed in the waters of Gardiners Bay—Shelter Island is a rightly named retreat just two-and-a-half hours west of NYC. Embodying the beauty of a sea-swept New England town, the island's 8,000 acres are best seen by foot or by boat: Hike the bluffs to see wildlife, stroll through a neighborhood of historic Victorian homes, and glide along the currents in a kayak. After sunset, grab a seafood dinner of fresh oysters and scallops.
The Digs
Built at the end of the 1920s, The Pridwin Beach Hotel & Cottages embraces the sanctity of summer. Only opening its doors for the sun-and-fun season, this ten-acre property is a classic Americana retreat. Whitewashed wicker furniture adorns the breezy living room and bright, youthful shades color the hotel's collection of 40 modern accommodations where water-view rooms feature king or queen-size beds, a television, and a private bathroom. After relaxing with an afternoon cocktail at the Pridwin Lounge or sampling fresh yellowfin tuna in the dining room—a majority of the restaurant's fresh fish is caught by the owner and one of his sons—mingle with your fellow guests on the hotel's Gatsby-esque porch with views of Crescent Beach.
The Diversions
• Hike a tree-lined trail inside the 2,100-acre Mashomack Preserve
• Paddle with a guide from Shelter Island Kayak Tours
• Swim in the waters of Orient Beach State Park
• Try local oysters at Vine Street Cafe
• Organize a match at the Shelter Island Tennis Club, located at the hotel

This is relatively minimized on a STOCK Focus because the emissions tuning does NOT allow for immediate engine braking when lifting (CAN be "tuned" to engine brake immediately, stock has a delay built in) There is still SOME of this effect just from the fronts NOT being "driven" anymore when you lift.
On a FWD car, when you "lift" it's like putting the front brakes on - nose dives, tail gets light, and it'll "step out" easier. If you are turning already, this will make the tail tend to drift more. (extreme case, if the tail is sliding already in the snow - it'll "snap oversteer" and you'll be tail first even if you steer into the slide. Been there, done that, when old RWD habits made me back off in a skid in my first FWD car)
Using this on purpose would involve steering into a turn, lifting a sec. to let the rear "rotate" a bit, then balancing the effect with throttle to continue the turn with the rear 'drifting" more than it otherwise would. This CAN result is a more "balanced" turn than FWD would otherwise allow.
The more extreme version (NOT "lift induced") is to "left foot brake" - keeping the throttle applied continuously while using the left foot to apply the brake. Engine power keeps the fronts "pulling" while the additional load on the rears from braking makes that end drift out more. It's kinda like a handbrake turn, but quite a bit more controlled.
Hope that helps keep the definitions straight, so we're talking about the same thing here.
Although this can be done at speed, it is not something you should try in the begining. You need to start out slow and then work your way up to higher speeds. Every driving school teaches this way.

(BOISE) – Idaho's teachers' union is taking flak after filming an anti-education reform commercial at a public school in southwestern Idaho. State Sen. Jim Rice of Caldwell says the Idaho Education Association improperly used Woodrow Wilson Elementary in Caldwell as a backdrop for its commercial attacking Superintendent Tom Luna's education initiatives. Union officials counter that it's normal for many school districts to have an "open policy" to most groups seeking to use their facilities. School was not in session when the ad was filmed.

Trenton, NJ _ —
A judge in Trenton has declined to rule immediately on whether same sex marriages in New Jersey should be allowed.
On Thursday, state Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobsen heard arguments from attorneys for the state and gay couples as to whether she should force the state to recognize same sex marriage in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling against DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act.
The Supreme Court decision on June 26 led to the extension of federal benefits – like social security and tax breaks - to gay couples married in states that allow it.
"As we pointed out in court, marriage is something you have to have now to secure your rights," said Haley Gorenberg, a lawyer with Lambda Legal, which is arguing the case on behalf of Garden State Equality, a statewide gay rights organization, and six same-sex couples and their children.
Gorenberg and attorney Lawrence Lustburg say that the DOMA ruling means New Jersey's civil unions law – which does not afford the same rights as marriage – means New Jersey gay couples have less rights than states where gay couples are allowed to marry.
"At least four couples that are members of Garden State Equality are federal employees," Lawrence Lustberg, one of the lead attorneys for the plaintiffs, said outside the courtroom. "So they are denied health insurance and life insurance simply because they are allowed to be in civil unions and not in marriages."
But attorneys for the state of New Jersey told Jacobson that it's not the state's fault that the federal government doesn't recognize their civil unions. If the federal government won't extend crucial benefits, they say, then gay couples should sue them, not the state.
Additionally, Assistant attorney general Kevin Jesperson said that the state deciding the matter so soon after DOMA was like stepping into a very fast moving stream when the footing is very uncertain.
A decision is expected in September.

Leave it to tiny Costa Rica to up the eco-quotient ahead of the curve.
Costa Rican carrier Nature Air has proclaimed itself the world's first carbon neutral airline. One-hundred percent of its carbon emissions is offset through the reforestation and protection of tropical forests in the country's Osa Peninsula. The airline started its carbon-neutral program in 2004, and has also improved its flight plans to be more fuel efficient.
Now, you might think it's a stretch for any airline to claim complete carbon neutrality, since planes—all planes—really do belch the stuff. But Nature Air is in a much better position than most to own the niche. For one, the planes are smaller and don't fly at high altitudes, which I've read results in fewer emissions and less overall damage. And the airline is keeping its reforestation and protection efforts in Costa Rica, which makes the offset loop something that locals and visitors benefit from firsthand.
And here's a heads-up for adventuring families: Nature Air has started discounting tickets for kids. Children ages two through 11 are eligible for a 25 percent discount off regular fares.

I have a lot of good friends whose opinions I value and whose parenting decisions I would never second guess, who ask me if my twins are taking classes for various things.
My kids are two and a half years old. They'll probably go to preschool in the fall, and from that point, if they're like their parents, they'll be in classes for at least the next twenty years. I think it's okay if they do independent study for the first three.
The reasoning behind these pre-preschool classes is not ridiculous, I suppose. Get kids socialized, provide some developmentally appropriate stimulus, and get them used to the idea of learning from someone other than their parents. I suspect–and this has been corroborated by the very people who recommend these classes–that part of their appeal is the opportunity they provide for parents (moms, mostly) to hang out with each other.
That's all fine, if it's what you're into. Maybe you feel like your kid (and you) need some kind of structure to make the most of your time together. Maybe you have more trust in an "expert" than in yourself to teach your kids the skills they need to succeed, or to be better kids, or to have fun, or whatever. As far as the value of these classes for my kids and me, I'm ambivalent at best.
On one hand, I do feel (especially after having been touring preschools lately) that my kids will be going into the proverbial lion's den when they show up for their first day of school having never been away from their parents for more than a couple hours at a stretch. But on the other hand, I'm selfish and lazy.
Frankly, I cling jealously to these first few years where my wife and I are the center of our kids' attention, even if they do sometimes drive us nuts. There will be a lot of other adults (and peers, God help us) in their lives soon enough; and our primacy will fade. So screw some cat from the local community center or for-profit kids' edu-tainment outlet. I can teach my kids to play on the monkey bars, beat on a guitar, sing loudly and tunelessly, dance like spazzes, love books and run around in the woods myself, thanks very much.
As for the laziness, that's another aspect of this era that I cherish. I know what's coming down the pike. Gulping down meals, scrambling for the bus, dashing from one structured event to the next. Right now I'm very content to do one low-pressure activity per day, and never worry about being late. It may be the last few months of that for any of us.

Down, Set, Shrimp!
Professional sports has become a foundation for the idolatry of modern-day gladiators, raising men to the heights of worship usually reserved for great conquerors and warriors. But in these modern times, roaring orgies with dancing slave girls and hearths overstuffed with undercooked meats have been replaced by autograph signings and all-you-can-eat-and-drink shrimp and beer. And that's exactly what the Miami Touchdown Club, the 54-year-old organization that promotes amateur football, brings to Finnegan's River (401 SW Third Ave., Miami) this Tuesday at 7 p.m. At NFL Shrimp and Beer Night, organization members pay $30 and guests shell out $40 to share endless crustaceans and brew with former Miami Dolphins icons Mark Duper and Keith Byars. Ask them about the good old days of when the Fins would actually make it to the playoffs, or make fun of how Dan Marino would wear Zubaz pants and Isotoner gloves on the sidelines during games. By the end of the night, there are bound to be some interesting happenings inspired by the free-flowing alcohol.

A 22-year-old man who died in hospital after being stabbed at a Hastings party house is believed to have become engaged on Friday to his alleged attacker.
The dead Hastings man was today named as Christopher Robin Jones.
Police were called to the King St South address about 2am on Saturday and found the man with serious injuries to his abdomen.
Detective Sergeant Emmet Lynch said St John Ambulance staff worked on the man before taking him to Hawke's Bay Hospital for emergency surgery, where he died about 9am.
It was confirmed that the victim was stabbed but police would not elaborate on the kind of weapon used.
"We made an arrest [on Saturday] and a 20-year-old female has been charged with assault. She has been co-operating with us," Mr Lynch said. "There are a lot of inquiries that we are now conducting, including a post-mortem examination and a thorough investigation of the scene."
Police could not comment further as the woman was due to appear in Hastings District Court tomorrow.
The arrested female lived with the victim and Hawke's Bay Today understands they may have been romantically involved.
A Facebook update from Friday night listed the pair as "engaged" but it was later removed. Police cordoned off the house and placed a patrol car on guard in the early hours of Saturday morning. A team of forensic investigators from Wellington arrived yesterday to examine the scene.
Mr Lynch said a forensic scene examination of the house was likely to be completed today and police were evaluating early post-mortem results.
Police were also working through a large number of interviews with people who were at the house at the time of the incident.
Tenants of the four-bedroom weatherboard bungalow were being questioned by police and had not been allowed back into the flat.
A neighbour told Hawke's Bay Today the housemates were well known for their "all weekend parties".
"It's a nightmare. I was down there last weekend and the weekend before, telling them to turn the music down. It's also the noise from their cars out on the street.
"There is just party after party after party."
"Some of the ladies across the road are in their 80s. We just want this to stop, we just want a quiet street."
Though the group of tenants had lived at the address only for about two months, police and the landlady had been called numerous times by residents fed up with their rowdy behaviour, the neighbour said.
"A while ago they were all out on the street in the morning, drunk, next to a black van. There were cans and bottles all on the road." The neighbour said people had been urinating on one lady's lawn.
"Police showed up a bit later ... they must have made the rest of them get out of bed and clean everything up."
The neighbour was not aware of a woman living in the house but had noticed a new car parked in the driveway for the past month.
She also noted the often-troublesome flat was relatively quiet on the evening of the incident. "I just crashed, I didn't hear anything and usually I would if there was a party going on. I'm still getting my head around the fact that someone has died."

The people running the park were the friendliest and the most helpful of any place we visited. We stayed at the deluxe site and there was room for a tent if desired. It is a great place even if you have a large group. We will definitely make it regular stop.

Kick off the summer family-style at Phelps Park Thursday June 4 from 5:30-7 p.m. The night will be filled with fun activities and live music, with food and refreshments available for purchase. Phelps Family Fun Night is free and open to the public thanks to the sponsorship of Decorah Bank & Trust, in cooperation with Decorah Parks & Recreation and Decorah Public Library. In case of rain, festivities will be moved to the covered parking area located underneath Decorah Public Library.
Family Fun Night begins at 5:30 p.m. with a Summer Carnival for ages 10 & under. Carnival booths include Sharp Shooters, Hole-in-One, Bean Bag Toss, face painting, and more! Booths cost 1-3 tickets (tickets are 10 cents each) and there will be lots of fun prizes to win.
Done Doin' Laundry, a local all-girl bluegrass band, will be performing throughout the evening. The band blends violin, guitar and mandolin or banjo, resulting in sweet melodies appreciated by folks of all ages. A number of kid-friendly tunes will be included in the set list as well.

I had the pleasure of traveling to Haverford College this past week to attend Re: Humanities: Play, Power, Production. Re: Humanities is a conference organized by undergraduates to showcase undergraduate work in the digital humanities. Their work speaks for itself; I created a storify that encapsulates the energy and spirit of the event. I am already looking ahead to Re: Humanities 2015. Congratulations, #nextgendh!
