Designer holds event to support colon-cancer research
Fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo will hold a trunk show and book signing at Coplon's in Charlotte Tuesday, March 22, to support colon-cancer research and education.
The fashion designer, known for dressing celebrities such as Vanessa Williams, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Katie Couric, is donating the proceeds from his book to colon-cancer research. "Dressed to Perfection" offers everyday fashion tips plus advice for dressing for red-carpet moments.
Along with the book signing, Valvo-designed scarves and ties will be sold, with proceeds benefiting the Center for Colon Cancer Research at the University of South Carolina. Valvo, a colon-cancer survivor, has partnered with the center to help educate the public on the need for colon-cancer screening.
The event, free and open to the public, runs from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at Coplon's, 6809 Phillips Place Court in Charlotte. For more information about the event, call Coplon's at 704-643-1113.

Medicare has become one of the most contentious issues in this fall's election. But are either President Obama or Mitt Romney telling the whole truth to the American people about the problems facing this program? Does either candidate have a plan to deal with the looming crisis? And would Paul Ryan really end Medicare as we know it?
In this month's e-Briefing, Michael Tanner will cut through the heated campaign rhetoric to answer these questions and discuss the facts surrounding one of our country's most costly entitlement programs.

The PharmD/MS in Public Health dual degree provides pharmacy students with a solid foundation in health care research and outcomes evaluation. This educational background will help broaden students' perspective to view health care services in terms of community or population needs, and teach them how to contribute as community health leaders, educators and policy makers, affecting the local, state and national health care systems.
State of the Art Facilities
Campbell University's College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (CPHS) recently completed construction on a new 42,000 square-foot teaching facility, doubling the space in the College's previous facility. Its three floors house classrooms, breakout rooms, admissions and alumni suites, lecture halls, offices, a faculty resource center, and professional association room. Close to 6,000 feet is dedicated to laboratory space.
Elevate Your Career
By earning a dual degree, students have the opportunity to further develop their leadership skills, better comprehend health care needs and enhance their careers by learning to perceive issues from a broader perspective than their colleagues. The expected job outlook for PharmD candidates is exceptionally bright, with an anticipated 105,800 job openings between 2008 and 2018.

'Sabres fans are going to think I have something against their team but I like the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Final. They've showed something they haven't in past playoff years. They've got team grit. The Sabres can expect to be hit often. Bryan Murray also may be the best in the league at managing his bench right now.'

Get on the fast track to becoming a professionally licensed teacher.
The FasTrack PostBac Secondary Initiative is an accelerated, online/hybrid cohort program designed for students who hold undergraduate or graduate degrees in an area other than education. If you already hold a teaching license, FasTrack is not for you.
FasTrack requires only three face-to-face meetings (in the Twin Cities) per year, so it's ideal for those who cannot attend an on-campus program.
As soon as you enroll in FasTrack, you may be eligible to begin teaching on a limited license. This will be determined by your school district and the State Board of Teaching, based on the license area and relevant factors.
Program Options
You can focus on a variety of secondary-level subject areas. If you have previously completed undergraduate or graduate credits in subject areas (math, science, etc.) or education, you may be able to apply them toward the program.*
Click on the links below to learn about required coursework in each area. Before you apply, check your transcripts to see if any of your courses align.
*You must have attained a 2.5 GPA in any previous content and education courses to apply them toward licensure.
**We partner with Special Education to prepare students for licensure. Please note that the 33-34 Special Education credits are in addition to the 23 credits in the FasTrack PostBac SEP courses.
*** Offered in conjunction with St. Cloud State.
Upon full acceptance and successful completion of all requirements, coursework and student teaching, Bemidji State University will recommend you for licensure to the Minnesota Board of Teaching. There is no portfolio development.

About MarlboroughView a map of Marlborough wineries (mahrl-bore-oh)
Sitting pretty on the northern tip of New Zealand's south island, Marlborough has become synonymous with New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. As well it should be – Marlborough is the primary region for those delicious, citrusy, summer-lovin' wines with vibrant acidity and pungent, grassy, grapefruit flavors. Sauvignon Blanc is the main grape here; Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling are also made.
Notable FactsThe region has well-drained alluvial loam soils, which are perfect for grape growing. The grapes receive a good deal of sunshine during the day, but recovers in the cool evenings. Marlborough's growing season is long, which helps foster the gradual, even ripening of the grapes. Not made for much aging, the Sauvignon Blancs of Marlborough are of the buy 'em and drink 'em class of wine. Expect little vintage variation here - quantity differs more than quality.
About New Zealand
The country of New Zealand is about 1000 miles from the coast of Australia. It consists of two long islands, end to end, that are approximately the same length as California. Most of the country's climate is maritime due to the abundant coastline. The northern island is warmer and wetter, while the southern island is cooler and dryer. The most popular grapes of New Zealand are Sauvignon Blanc (made most famous by the bright, crisp wines coming out of Marlborough), Chardonnay and the ever-growing Pinot Noir.

Riffing on the President's House
Friday, December 11, 2009 ~ 3 to 5 p.m.
Work-In-Process and Public Discussion
Sample the work of dancer/choreographer Germaine Ingram, composer/musician Bobby Zankel, and visual artist John Dowell as they develop a performance piece commemorating the nine African Americans enslaved by President George Washington in the President's House, a building that stood on site just steps away from the Liberty Bell Pavilion. Hear about their creative process for reflecting on the contradictions, ironies, and present-day impact of slavery's practice in America's first seat of national government. Join the discussion about how history is preserved and retold, and how resonances of the past affect the way race works in the 21st Century. (This event is presented in collaboration with the Philadelphia Folklore Project, with the support of funding from the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage through Dance Advance.)*

by Stacy McDonald of Ladies Against Feminism and Your Sacred Calling - The Idol of Modesty Our reasons for dressing modestly should have nothing to do with gaining a sense of satisfaction or worth from another person.

Yes, accounting can lead to a career in and of itself, but each of us uses accounting in our everyday lives. It may even give you an edge when applying for a job. Many management positions require an understanding of accounting information and employers may seek out students with more accounting background for some positions. In your personal life you may need to balance your checkbook, read your credit card statement, prepare documents for financial aid applications, make investments, or take out a car loan.

It's February again, the month that celebrates love. So, we've located 50 new (or newly updated) hotels that make privacy a priority. Whether your version of a tryst means a secluded beach, indulgent spa treatments, a burst of urban energy, or a respite from mundane reality, these seductive retreats will have you both swooning
by the sea
The smell of salt in the air. Cool water at dawn. A shore as soft as a cloud. Under these conditions, intimacy comes easily
Esperanza, MEXICO At the resort's new spa, on a bluff above the Sea of Cortés, hibiscus baths and tropical-essence massages act as potent relaxants, especially when followed by an hour in an indoor steam cave—or in a hidden garden by the sea, where humpback whales migrate right offshore. The resort's 56 guest rooms and suites have oversized tubs and handcrafted furniture, and the infinity pool hovers above a private cove, with a distant view of the southernmost tip of Baja.
Doubles from $550, suites from $3,500; Km 3.5, Carretera Transpeninsular, Cabo San Lucas; 866/311-2226 or 52-624/145-6400; www.esperanzaresort.com
Albergo Miramare, POSITANO A favorite with honeymooners, who prize its tranquil, out-of-the-way location off one of the steep, skinny staircases in Positano, the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. The 15 guest rooms have balconies overlooking the sea, revealing panoramas that will have you renewing your vows (and congratulating yourselves for paying so little for such majestic views).
Doubles from $165; 27 Via Trara Genoino; 39-089/875-002; www.starnet.it/miramare
Hotel du Vin, BRIGHTON The English seaside vacation is again reinvented, this time with Egyptian-cotton bed linens and beach-hut style. Step outside the 37-room hotel, turn right, and wander up the Victorian-era pier with its carnival rides and Brighton Rock candy. Or turn left to shop in the cobblestoned Lanes. Go nowhere and there's still lots to see: the vine-covered courtyard, the clubby bar and its billiard table, the cigar gallery. Any table in the airy bistro is ideal for sipping Chablis—and plotting a memorable weekend.
Doubles from $180; 2-6 Ship St.; 44-1273/718-588; www.hotelduvin.com
The House, BARBADOS The crisp blues and whites in the 31 suites are the perfect foil for the jungle of bougainvillea and other tropical flora outside. Despite the landscape, though, Paynes Bay's newest hotel somehow fits in. Those wanting time alone can order from the in-room menu (called Flavors to Awaken Your Senses) or indulge in a five-course dinner for two under a gauzily draped four-poster shelter—with nothing but sand underfoot.
Doubles from $1,143; Paynes Bay, St. James; 800/326-6898 or 246/432-5525; www.eleganthotels.com
Indigo Bay, MOZAMBIQUE Indigo Bay, a 50-chalet resort, is one of just two lodges on Bazaruto Island, 23 miles of wetlands, savanna, and freshwater lakes inhabited by crocodiles. Couples can go horseback riding on deserted shores, picnic by a lake, or take a Land Rover to the pristine white sands of Sailfish Bay. Guests in the Matemo Suite can simply retire to their private swimming pool and tune out the world.
Doubles from $408, suites from $450, including breakfast and dinner; 27-11/467-1277; www.indigobayonline.com
Nannai Muro Alto Beach Resort, BRAZIL Cool bossa nova rhythms blend with Bora-Bora style at Brazil's latest five-star resort. Inside the 49 grass bungalows, flowing fabric surrounds a flower-strewn bed that has views of the swaying palms on the beach. Room service can keep the lime-soaked caipirinhas coming, leaving you time to rock gently in your hammock, then slide into the private freshwater pool that encircles your bungalow.
Doubles from $350, including breakfast and dinner; Ipojuca, Recife; 55-81/3552-2100; www.nannai.com.br
Rock House, THE BAHAMAS Wallace Tutt (who designed the Gianni Versace mansion) just cut the ribbon on this tiny hotel's total makeover. The former schoolhouse, set on a cliff on Harbour Island high above the Atlantic, has taken on the elegance of a plantation manse. The nine airy guest rooms, however, are only half the appeal: massages are given in a cabana by the pool, horseback rides follow the shore, and chartered yachts take guests deep-sea fishing. The chef will pack a picnic for two, then send couples to one of the island's deserted pink-sand beaches.
Doubles from $245; Harbour Island; 242/333-2053; www.rockhousebahamas.com
Soulshine Resort & Spa, BELIZE From Placencia, board a boat for two (plus a captain) and cross a lagoon swirling with dolphins and manatees to a pocket-sized private isle. Five cabanas have been built among the gardens, all designed with pine-floored porches and plush king-sized beds beneath high, Mayan-thatched roofs. Soak by the sea in the spa's Tub Room, where two private baths face each other and the beach. Afterward, sip aperitifs at the end of the dock in twin hammocks.
Doubles from $155, including breakfast; 011-501/523-3347; www.soulshine.com
Turks & Caicos Club, BRITISH WEST INDIES It's easy to pretend that the 21-suite, gated, Caribbean colonial estate on the powder-soft beach of Grace Bay is yours alone: it's so discreetly managed that you'll rarely see another guest, especially on its wide stretch of oceanfront. To avoid an unexpected encounter altogether, retreat to your kitsched-up room with its safari-themed prints, rattan chairs, and waterfront porch. But don't spend all day indoors. The concierge can arrange a full-day whale watching trip, then reserve a table at Simba, where fresh-caught fish is presented beside the beach.
Doubles from $545; Providenciales; 800/269-0966 or 649/946-5800; www.turksandcaicosclub.com
city lights
Adrenaline runs high amid the rushing cars, dramatic skyline, and endless activities that enliven an urban escape
Hotel Kämp, HELSINKI For visiting artists, royalty, and romantics, this modernized 19th-century hotel is the address to commit to memory. Opulence reigns, from the Venetian chandeliers in the banquet hall and the mahogany and cut-glass entrance of the dining room right down to the Karl Fazer chocolates at turndown. Suites are commonly reserved well in advance: the Mannerheim, regally outfitted in teak and purple-and-gold fabrics; the Kämp, with floral settees, silk valences, and a deep marble soaking tub. Twenty-first-century touches have appeared, now that Starwood has taken over, but if service and style from a bygone era appeal, there's no other place in town.
Doubles from $150; 29 Pohjoisesplanadi; 358-9/576-111; www.luxurycollection.com/kamp
Cipriani, VENICE For a new spin on tried-and-true Italian romance, book the recently opened Palladio Suite at this legendary hotel. After relishing its splendors (your own glass sculptures, Rubelli fabrics, wall-to-wall views of the Lagoon), take a trip through the canals in the suite's vintage mahogany motor launch. Before dinner—butler-served, in the Palladio's private dining room—unwind in the outdoor Jacuzzi on the expansive teak terrace. Judging by the 30 weddings and countless proposals at the 103-key hotel each year, the Venetian formula never fails.
Doubles from $810, Palladio suite from $6,325; Giudecca 10; 39-041/520-7744; www.hotelcipriani.com
Dar Rhizlane, MARRAKESH Designed by leading local architect Charles Boccara, the 19-room hideaway seems to glow from all the lemonwood tables inlaid with mother-of-pearl, gilded copper washbasins, and lacy cedar carvings. Relaxing in front of a traditional beehive fireplace burning fragrant eucalyptus logs, passing time under the coconut palms, and working jointly on erasing tan lines in your own private garden are just a few of the pastimes on the menu.
Doubles from $240; Quartier de L'Hivernage; 212-44/421-303; www.dar-rhizlane.com
Hotel AC Santo Mauro, MADRID Intimate spots are rare in Madrid, where couples kiss unabashedly in the street and revelers crowd the city at all hours. Fortunately for the circumspect, there's the Hotel AC Santo Mauro, hidden in a residential neighborhood near the Paseo de Castellana. Last year, 17 rooms were added when the small hotel purchased the mansion next door. But the preferred suite is still No. 107, in the original building, where cava and fruit await and the bathtub affords views over the old stables. And the private garden, where guests dine in tents lit by candles, is a long-standing rendezvous destination.
Doubles from $315; 36 Zurbano; 34-91/319-6900; www.ac-hotels.com
Hôtel de la Trémoille, PARIS Now that this 19th-century jewel box in the Golden Triangle has been given a modern makeover (note the Terence Conran restaurant and spa), it's as good-looking as it is romantic. The original Haussmann architectural details are embellished with sensuous textures and colors: sofas are painted gold and awash in red velvet; persimmon-colored fake-fur duvets drape king-sized beds. To satisfy guests' desire for privacy, the Trémoille has introduced the Hatch—an ingenious drop-off area for room service. Finally, a way to have a champagne breakfast without scrambling for your robes.
Doubles from $385; 14 Rue de la Trémoille; 33-1/56-52-14-00; www.hotel-tremoille.com
MyHotel Chelsea, LONDON The smart town house behind fashionable Brompton Cross was clearly designed with lasciviousness in mind. Most of the 45 guest rooms are outfitted in boudoir pink, but for a night of passion and decadence, check into a ruby- or scarlet-hued suite. If the shag rugs and erotic photographs don't do the trick, head to the bar for cocktail hour. There, the resident tarot card and palm reader can reveal your (or your partner's) most secret desires.
Doubles from $290; 35 Ixworth Place; 44-207/225-7500; www.myhotels.com
NH City Hotel, BUENOS AIRES A 1930's building in the historic district has entered the third millennium as the city's hottest place to sleep. The six suites on the 12th floor are the best evidence of this new classic-meets-steamy aesthetic: red and black walls, cherry-colored silk curtains, and picture windows that overlook downtown's historic domes and the silvery Río de la Plata.
Doubles from $90, suites from $130, including breakfast; 160 Bolivar; 54-114/121-6464; www.nh-hoteles.com
Pucic Palace, DUBROVNIK The 19th-century palazzo is the city's newest hotel—and the only one within the old walls. Pull yourself away from the generously decorated guest rooms, with their European antiques, parquet floors, and Italian mosaic bathrooms, to explore surrounding neighborhoods and coves in the hotel's own yacht (picnic provided). The whitewashed, medieval buildings and cobblestoned lanes might just put you in the mood to pop the question—in which case, you can say "I do" in the hotel's tiny chapel.
Doubles from $145, including breakfast; 1 Ulica od Puca; 385-20/324-111; www.thepucicpalace.com
Red Capital Residence, BEIJING Think of the campy Red Capital Residence, a five-room lodge in a Ch'ing-era courtyard in the city center, as a boutique inn with a Communist-kitsch theme. Furniture favored by Mao fits out the Chairman's Suite, which comes with his provocative Little Red Book at the bedside. In the underground bar, a converted bomb shelter, women in Red Army gear serve Lin Biao's Crashes (blue curaçao, vodka, and mao-tai—a potent Chinese liquor). Cold War role-playing was never so sexy.
Doubles from $150; 9 Dongsi Liutiao, Dongcheng District; 86-10/6402-7150; www.redcapitalclub.com.cn
Ritz-Carlton, BOSTON The $50 million renovation is complete, and faithful visitors to Beantown have their grande dame back. No wonder they missed her: the Public Gardens are visible from most rooms, and tony Newbury Street is right next door. Guests indulge in tubs drawn by bath butlers and logs lit by a fireplace butler (the first of his kind anywhere). Dinners are presented in the restored 1927 Dining Room, beneath cobalt-blue chandeliers.
Doubles from $375; 15 Arlington St.; 800/241-3333 or 617/536-5700; www.ritzcarlton.com
Royal Palms Resort & Spa, PHOENIX Love is big business at Phoenix's favorite Spanish colonial-style hotel—so big, in fact, that it requires a professional's help. Enter Paul Xanthopoulos, a self-proclaimed descendant of Eros and on-staff director of romance. His credits include more than 200 engagement proposals, 1,000 anniversary parties, and numerous acts of encouragement. Have him arrange a dinner table in a private garden, or a path of rose petals leading to a couples' treatment room in the new spa.
Doubles from $375; 5200 E. Camelback Rd.; 800/672-6011 or 602/840-3610; www.royalpalmshotel.com
Solar do Castelo, LISBON Maybe it's the privileged location within the walls of St. George's Castle, with its stunning views of historic Lisbon. Or it could be its small scale: just 14 rooms (couples usually have the garden courtyard or salon to themselves). Whatever the reason, the 10-month-old Solar is a prime spot for couples to hide away when they're not exploring the maze of alleyways in nearby Alfama or swaying to the echoes of fado in the streets.
Doubles from $165; 2 Rua das Cozinhas; 351-21/887-0909; www.heritage.pt
country living
Leave town for the manor houses, tiny inns, and emerald lawns of the provinces, where nobody knows your name
Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli, ITALY Lovers like to retreat to the bedchamber in the octagonal tower of this ornate 20-room villa, on the shores of Lake Garda, which opened its doors in 2001. Though the tower's porthole windows, pink frescoes, and Frette linens are hard to leave, even the most besotted are lured away by croquet and tea on the lawn or a picnic for two in the property's wood-paneled boat. At night, order dinner in the "smoking" room (a.k.a. Bob's Bar), with its plush rose upholstery, bowls of apples, and help-yourself drinks.
Doubles from $700; 38-40 Via Rimembranze, Brescia; 39-0365/798-000; www.villafeltrinelli.com
Château de l'Isle-Marie, FRANCE Looking for a place to get away from it all, French country-style?Château de l'Isle-Marie in Normandy has what you want. Meadows and woodlands that invite promenades. Six antiques-filled guest rooms folded into a neo-Renaissance castle. Three apartments in a 17th-century manor house with toile de Jouy bed-curtains sewn by the chatelaine (a countess) herself. Even an Italianate chapel—designed by Mansart, the architect of Versailles.
Doubles from $170, apartments from $200; Picauville; 33-2/33-21-37-25; www.islemarie.com
Dar Mimosas, MOROCCO A 3 1/2-acre compound lush with bougainvillea and oleander, Dar Mimosas is for living out your craziest Moroccan fantasy—and then some. The nine seaside suites are filled with a souk's worth of traditional furnishings and crafts, including the eye-popping zelliges tiles in the bathrooms. For an exotic experience, head down to the beach for a ritual sunset camel ride.
Suites from $350; Essaouira; 212-44/475-934; www.darmimosas.com
De Koperen Hoogte, THE NETHERLANDS Atop a decommissioned municipal water tower, De Koperen Hoogte is a luxury hotel where every room comes with views of the Ijssel River and a city laced with canals in the heart of Holland. The bedroom in the Top Suite is the only place to be at night: the copper-clad tower's two-level penthouse has a moon roof that retracts to reveal the star-dappled sky.
Doubles from $360, including breakfast and dinner; 51 Lichtmisweg, Zwolle; 31-529/428-428; www.dekoperenhoogte.nl
La Maison du Village, ST.-RÉMY-DE-PROVENCE This beguiling five-suite B&B on a lovely side street is the latest, news in St.-Rémy, the über-Provençal village American travelers can't seem to get enough of. Wrought-iron flea-market beds and freestanding bathtubs big enough for two offer an object lesson in l'art de vivre à la française. La Maison's residential feel makes it just the thing for anyone who has dreamed of setting up house in the south of France.
Doubles from $220, including breakfast; 10 Rue du 8 Mai 1945; 33-4/32-60-68-20; www.lamaisonduvillage.com
Lodge on the Bay, SOUTH AFRICA Set on deserted Robberg Beach in Plettenberg Bay (300 miles east of Cape Town), an arc of aquamarine visited by dolphins and whales, the six-suite streamlined lodge appeals to devotees of Arne Jacobsen and Ian Schrager. Its public spaces create a self-sufficient universe: the library holds 1,000 books, the therapists in the spa can untangle any knot, and a better than 1-to-1 staff-to-guest ratio ensures that all desires are tended to promptly. Sunrise strolls along the beach are worth an early wake-up call, but the heated bathroom floors, African-influenced room-service menu, and good company may make it difficult to leave the room.
Doubles from $345; 77 Beachyhead Dr., Plettenberg Bay; 27-44/501-2800; www.thelodgeonthebay.com
Palms Cliff House, HAWAII John and Michele Gamble held nothing back in creating a paradise at the end of a palm-lined drive, 15 minutes north of Hilo on the Big Island. The eight-room Victorian sits on a 100-foot cliff overlooking Pohakumanu Bay, and has jaw-dropping views of the blue breakers and—on clear days—snowcapped Mauna Kea. Hike down the jungly Akaka Falls Trail beside twin 400-foot cataracts to secret swimming holes, or lounge the afternoon away on the wraparound lanai, watching whales play against the horizon.
Doubles from $175, including breakfast; 28-3514 Mamalahoa Hwy., Honomu; 808/963-6076; www.thepalmshawaii.com
Shandon 1884, AUSTRALIA Once guests pass through the imposing gates of this Italianate mansion they leave their cares behind. With no televisions or telephones and just four rooms (plus the one-bedroom Stables apartment), the focus at Shandon is on Slow Food (local shellfish with Yarra Valley salmon roe and celery nage, for example), excellent wines (more than 450 from around the world), and absolute calm—though it's just a quarter of an hour from downtown Melbourne.
Doubles from $125; 361 Beaconsfield Parade, St. Kilda, Victoria; 61-3/9534-0080; www.shandon1884.com.au
pampering oases
Remove yourself from daily distractions and succumb to expert hands. At a luxury spa, there's time to focus on simple pleasures—and on each other
Four Seasons Resort, SANTA BARBARA Promise your love a rose garden (or just a stroll through one) in the historic Spanish colonial-style resort's newly landscaped grounds. Pledge your passion among Italian marble benches, wall fountains, and tree orchids. Or keep it intimate and sign up for a soothing treatment in one of the lavish new spa suites with a fireplace, oversized whirlpool, paired massage tables, and terrace above the Pacific. Either way, you'll be California dreaming.
Doubles from $475; 1260 Channel Dr.; 800/819-5053 or 805/969-2261; www.fourseasons.com
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, HAWAII A favored hideout for Hollywood types in search of a Polynesian interlude, the 380-room resort caters to every pleasurable whim. Stroll in a traditional Hawaiian healing garden to the recently expanded spa, where you can soothe sunned skin with an avocado mask in a treatment room for two. Then make your way to a bedroom suite decorated with tropical accents, facing the Pacific or the dramatic Haleakala volcano.
Doubles from $335; 3900 Wailea Alanui Dr., Maui 800/334-6284 or 808/874-8000 www.fourseasons.com
Hotel & Spa Rosa Alpina, ITALY Though snow streaks the craggy contours of the surrounding Dolomite Alps until midsummer, no one feels the cold at this chic spa hotel. The spare, mountain lodge-style rooms have beeswaxed wood furniture, pale marble and antique wood floors, and creamy linens; the recently refurbished St. Hubertus restaurant serves dinner in a candlelit, wood-paneled room with a blazing log fire. To warm things up further, have a lavender- or rosemary-infused sauna followed by a milk or rose-petal bath for two.
Doubles from $350; San Cassiano, Alta Badia, Alto Adige; 39-0471/849-500; www.rosalpina.it
Pangkor Laut Spa Village, MALAYSIA Once you settle into your stilt-raised suite with picture windows facing the Strait of Malacca, consult an Ayurvedic or Chinese physician for a special "prescription"—such as the Navarakizhi, a massage using wrapped bundles of rice, or Gu Fang Xun Shen, a technique in which herbs are used to smoke negative energy out of the body. The resort, designed by American spa guru Sylvia Sepielli, isn't just about individual healing. Couples can book the open-air pavilion and spend quiet time practicing asanas or soaking in the whirlpool.
Spa villas from $460; Perak, Malaysia; 877/851-3144; www.pangkorlautresort.com
Swissôtel, ECUADOR Quito's most stylish hotel lures those craving urban coddling before or after a South American adventure (the equatorial city is a gateway to the Galápagos). Amrita, an eternal-youth elixir referred to in ancient Sanskrit writings, is the wishful eponym of the hotel's new spa. Stay young forever with a rejuvenating thermal mineral body mask or cellular-repair facial.
Doubles from $140; 800/637-9477 or 593-2/256-7600; www.swissotel.com
Taha'a Pearl Beach Resort & Spa, FRENCH POLYNESIA If you've always thought Gauguin had it right when he swapped Paris for Tahiti, then this newly opened 60-room resort is bound to light your tiki torch. Each bungalow is airy, with bark cloth paintings, dried-leaf light fixtures, and a private plunge pool. There's plenty to keep active guests busy, but quality time is best spent lying on your backs, side by side, during banana-leaf wraps and vanilla-oil massages. Or reenact Gauguin's Two Nudes on a Tahitian Beach with a picnic of champagne on a deserted atoll.
Doubles from $540; Motu Tautau, Society Islands 800/841-4145 or 689/608-400; www.pearlresorts.com
natural wonders
Surround yourself with the outdoors and use it as your inspiration—its lack of restraint, its changing moods, its voluptuous sensuality
Eichardt's Private Hotel, NEW ZEALAND In Queenstown's cool climate, the best way to stay warm is with possum-fur throw rugs, open fires, champagne, deep double baths, and someone you love. Eichardt's five handsome suites offer almost all of the above (you'll need to bring your own companion) plus serene views across Lake Wakatipu and beyond to snowcapped Walter Peak.
Doubles from $470; Marine Parade, Queenstown, N.Z.; 64-3/441-0450; www.eichardts.co.nz
King Pacific Lodge, BRITISH COLUMBIA Wilderness-lovers are making the trip up the north coast by floatplane to a 17-suite retreat without phones or televisions. No need to share a sleeping bag: luxury accommodations prevail, along with guided hikes in bear country; midnight kayak trips through phosphorescent waters; and soaks in deep Osaka tubswith bath salts, petals, and floating candles. The staff will even prepare a picnic and drop you both on a beach alone, with only a walkie-talkie to connect you to the outside world.
Doubles from $4,600 for a three-night package (May-September); Princess Royal Island; 888/592-5464 or 604/987-5452; www.rosewoodhotels.com
Lake Manyara Tree Lodge, TANZANIA Longing to play Tarzan and Jane?Then climb up to one of 10 tree houses high in a mahogany forest, on the shores of remote Lake Manyara. Only 20 guests are allowed at a time—which means a personal butler and a private wraparound viewing deck for every couple. From that vantage point you get open vistas of the rugged landscape, and perfect sight lines for the lions, elephants, and ibex that roam the camp below.
Doubles from $950, all-inclusive; 27-11/809-4300; www.ccafrica.com
L'Auberge de Sedona, ARIZONA Before you walk into one of the 33 redesigned cottages—furnished with French provincial armoires, mahogany beds, wood-burning fireplaces, and enough crimson fabric to carpet a stadium—the mood is set. Red, the color of love, is everywhere in Sedona, from the weather-worn canyon to the blooms on the cacti. The concierge will direct you to the least-trafficked hiking trails, and can arrange a balloon ride or pink jeep tour through the fiery canyons. And on warmer days, even in winter, active hours spent outdoors are rewarded with dinner served beside a trickling stream.
Cottages from $315; 800/272-6777 or 928/282-1661; www.lauberge.com
Lion Sands, SOUTH AFRICA Settle into your River Lodge or South Camp suite outfitted in Old African style, then take advantage of what's included: late-night astronomy sessions, guided full-moon walks, and lamplit dinners in the bush. Only one lucky couple per night can experience the landscape in an outdoor bed elevated above the veld and draped in mosquito netting. From there, instead of sheep, you can (safely) count animal eyes reflecting red in the moonlight.
Doubles from $830, all-inclusive; 27-13/735-5000; www.lionsands.com
Lodge at Pico Bonito, HONDURAS Twenty-one cabins set between the Caribbean Sea and the Nombre de Dios Mountains. Two hundred acres of tropical rain forest, with more than 300 species of birds. A mountain rising 8,000 feet above the jungle floor. If the numbers don't impress, how about the wildlife: spider monkeys, pumas, jaguars, crocodiles—and precious few humans. In Honduras's only luxury eco-lodge, nature is everywhere. To make the most of it, arrange a guided hike to Unbelievable Falls, tour the butterfly sanctuary, and take dinner for two in the observation tower or on the river deck, with torchlight, stars, and the call of the wild.
Doubles from $170; La Ceiba; 888/428-0221; www.picobonito.com
Udaivilas, INDIA Picture your arrival: you're met at the airport by a car and driver, guided onto a private boat, then ferried across Lake Pichola—past Udaipur's domed lakefront palaces—into the gardens and fountains of the Udaivilas estate. You're led to your suite, tempered with earth tones. From your window, Udaipur, the city of lakes, carved into the desert landscape by Mewari royals in the 16th century, sparkles in the sun. When sensory overload subsides, wind your way through sprawling courtyards to a traditional Kashmiri gondola, where champagne and canapés for two await.

the middle of nowhere
At the ends of the earth, nobody is watching
Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa, FRENCH POLYNESIA Can living in a fishbowl be intensely private?It can when your fishbowl is one of the glass-bottomed overwater bungalows at this sumptuous private-island resort. You and your Polynesian baby needn't set foot ashore before afternoon; breakfast is served via canoe. Get your land legs back at the hilltop Mandara Spa, with its views of the emerald Otemanu peak and Raiatea and Tahaa islands.

Four Seasons Resort Carmelo, URUGUAY You flew into Buenos Aires and took the two-hour boat ride up the Río de la Plata. You checked into your bungalow, had a dip in the pool, then rode on horseback through eucalyptus forests to the beach. You considered a nap in your hand-carved bed, but opted for a rinse in your garden shower. Then dinner at the Pura Restaurant, just the two of you, enclosed behind batik draperies and lit by candles. Now, finally, you're ready for that bed, and a midsummer night's dream.
Doubles from $250; Ruta 21, Km 262, Dpto. de Colonia; 800/332-3442 or 598-542/9000; www.fourseasons.com/carmelo
Fundu Lagoon, ZANZIBAR Just saying "Zanzibar" is sexy; there's something about the way those z's roll off the tongue. A stay on the edge of the Indian Ocean can multiply the effect, especially when you're cosseted in a suite on the beach or up in the hills. Built on stilts and connected by boardwalks, the 20 tented bungalows exude eco-chic comfort, with coconut-wood chairs and the beds swathed in mosquito netting. The stretch of sand that the resort occupies is the farthest you could be from civilization and still have running water.
Doubles from $550; Pemba Island; 255-24/223-2926; www.fundulagoon.com
Hostería Nacional Isla Victoria, PATAGONIA Turquoise Lake Nahuel Huapí and the Andean peaks lie in the distance, and from the 22-room wood-and-steel lodge and its deck (with a heated pool) you can watch the sun dissolve into the lunar Patagonian landscape. The friendly staff helps create romantic rendezvous: from quiet picnics by the shore to horseback riding along 25 miles of wild country roads to moon walks on this isolated island as big as Manhattan.
Doubles from $285, Including meals (two-night minimum stay); Bariloche, Argentina; 54-114/394-9605; www.islavictoria.com
Little Kulala, NAMIBIA When the sun reflecting off the curvaceous peaks of Namibia's Sossusvlei sand dunes grows too intense, visitors can retire to Little Kulala (Swahili for "resting place"). The eight wood-and-thatch chalets have tiled bathrooms, outdoor showers, and fluffed-up beds protected from the solar glare (and nighttime crawlers). But it's worth trading indoor comfort for a night on the open-air stargazing platform, where the silent desert is illuminated only by the moon.

Lizard Island, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA With 24 beaches fringing the Great Barrier Reef, and accommodations for just 40 couples, Lizard Island resort is in a category all its own. Open-plan suites are done up in the blues and whites of the sea, with hammocks and sundecks discreetly hidden from view. Count on sunset cruises, torchlit beach dinners for two, and a staff that will do anything to stoke passion (including, once, hiding a four-carat diamond ring in a seashell to surprise a bride-to-be).

Lugger Hotel, ENGLAND By a rocky cove on the southern Cornish coast, the 17-room Lugger Hotel is the countryside's smartest new spot for an escape. Think minimalist white bedrooms with stone terraces overlooking the sea, tidy lounges with crackling fires, a half-timbered dining room serving Austrian chef Franz Hornegger's rich dishes. Just out the door is the equally enchanting village of Portloe—all tiny stone cottages and gigantic hydrangeas—and the Cornish Coastal Footpath, where you can pretend you're Guinevere and Lancelot while strolling the headlands.

Makena's Hills, KENYA Six spacious tents on the edge of the Great Rift Valley are decorated with locally crafted cedar beds, African objets d'art, and hurricane lamps. More than 300 elephants roam the surrounding 100,000-acre private nature conservancy, and big cats and black rhino are not an uncommon sight from the infinity-edged pools. Writer Kuki Gallman (author of I Dreamed of Africa) built the new camp in honor of her daughter, who was married on this spot. Makena means "happy one" in Kikuyu, and guests who spend days on safari and evenings with sundowners feel as though the camp had been named for them.

Leonardo DiCaprio Is Up for Auction!
Leonardo DiCaprio is putting himself up for auction to help raise funds for the Haitian relief effort. An excellent auction for an excellent cause!
-Lucia Peters
Remember when Colin Firth put himself up for auction back in November? Well, he seems to have started a trend, because guess what? Now Leonardo DiCaprio is following suit!
Run by CharityBuzz—the same organization that ran the Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry Barbie doll auctions in December—this auction offers you the chance to meet Leo at an upcoming premiere and to attend the premiere after party with him. The details are a little hazy (maybe Leo isn't quite sure which premiere he's got coming up next?), but hey. Any premiere is a good premiere to us plebeians, right? And an after party? Awesome!
Read Emergency: Demi Moore Rushed to Hospital
CharityBuzz offers you the chance to win everything from designer merchandise to experiences with your favorite celebrities, and each winning bid raises money for well-respected charities in support of dozens of different causes. The Leo auction, which is part of the Cinema for Peace auction series, works in conjunction with the J/P Haitian Relief Organization to benefit Haiti. Founded by Sean Penn shortly after the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the J/P HRO is geared towards rebuilding the damaged nation and combating poverty within it. But it's not just throwing up a couple of shacks and saying, "There, we helped;" no, the J/P HRO is much more hands-on. It clears roads, rebuilds houses, works on creating job programs, develops public health programs, and works alongside Haiti's people and government to help solve the country's problems one step at a time.
The auction runs until 3pm EST on Thursday, February 9, 2012. The high bid is currently $7,500, and the minimum next bid is $8,000. Got some cash to burn? Place your bids here. We promise you won't regret it!

Evolution Hoax
The weighing that Day will be the truth. As for those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful. As for those whose scales are light, they are the ones who have lost their own selves because they wrongfully rejected Our Signs. (Surat Al-A'raf, 8-9)
As it is revealed in the verses above, Allah will question everyone in the Day of Judgment and reward or punish people with the Garden or Hell respectively according to the deeds they have performed. Those who have performed good deeds in the life of this world will be rewarded with the Garden 'as their scales are heavy.' The scales of those who have not performed good deeds in order to win Allah's approval will be light and they will be punished with Hell. Therefore, people who want to avoid the punishment in Hell and who put an effort for this have to think about their mistakes, which they did not pay attention while thinking 'I can recover it afterwards', and have to abandon immediately any attitude that is not in accordance with the Qur'an.
This is the morality, which Allah commanded in the Qur'an for believers to live. The verse, "…do not knowingly persist in what they were doing." (Surah Al 'Imran, 135) points out that when a believer notices his or her mistake, he or she shows a morality to recover that mistake. However, nevertheless some people do not use their conscience when they notice that they have made a mistake and they do not hurry to change this situation. Under the influence of their inner selves and satan, they justify their action of 'delaying for a while'. They keep on making these mistakes sometimes because of pride and egocentrism, sometimes because they worry about what other people will say or sometimes because they are in an emotional and pessimistic state of mind.
But this is a situation seen in the morality lived by the ignorant. Such people who do not think about Allah and the Hereafter cannot get out of this state because they try to solve things with the methods of the ignorant when they make a mistake. In addition, accepting one's mistake immediately or trying to recover the mistake made are characteristics seen as ugly by these people. The difference of believers from such people is that the believers have given up this point of view. For someone who has faith, instead of these, acting in the opposite direction as soon as a mistake is realized and leaving the wrong action sharply when called for what is right is an important sign of faith. This, insha'Allah, is an open sign that the person has fear of Allah, has faith in Allah and the Hereafter.
Therefore, when a believer makes a mistake, he or she sees this as an opportunity to show the morality of a Muslim and abandons this mistake as a manifestation of his or her love and devotion to our Lord. The logic behind saying "I can correct my mistake later anyhow" is not an attitude in correspondence with the morality of a believer and fear of Allah that he or she must have.
In addition to this, it should not be forgotten that each and every one of these behaviors that are not correspondent with the Qur'an will be hidden in Allah's and will be in front of him or her in the Day of Judgment. Let's think about a person who lives one day of his or her 60-year life in an attitude not in correspondence with the Qur'an. This person would have spent one day of his or her life without pleasing Allah. He or she can of course ask for forgiveness and act according to the Qur'an and win Allah's gratification. Because for every person there is an opportunity to ask for forgiveness, to reconcile for his or her mistakes, to reach the morality of the Prophets and to earn a morality that deserves the highest degrees of the Garden. But again, that 'one day' in which he or she did not correct his or her mistake will be absent from the goods the person will be rewarded with in the Hereafter. A person who lives many of his or her days in ignorance would have left the opportunity of performing that many days of good deeds aside and would have entered into a great loss.
In fact, every moment of a person in the life of this world is very precious. Human life passes very quickly. Every moment, a sudden disease or an accident or death with no reason can prevent the person to perform good deeds for the next day or to reconcile the mistake of the yesterday. No one has a "later time" to be able to say "I can correct this later anyhow" or to live for sure. So the person should be in a hurry, by taking into consideration this weakness, to abandon these mistakes and to perform good deeds in order to win Allah's approval.
What needs to be done is to live with a complete submission to and trust in Allah and destiny, to aim for Allah's gratification in every condition and to turn away from delusions, sorrow and empty deeds. Abandoning bad moral characteristics such as pride, arrogance, egocentrism, stubbornness and not-caring is to evaluate the mistake made not by the moral values of the ignorant but with the morality of the Qur'an.
Satan tries to stall people with empty illusions. He tries to make believers forget to think about Allah, the Qur'an and the Hereafter. "Nothing will happen, I can correct my mistake later anyhow" is a logic which is one of satan's games. Believers must be very careful for satan's games; listen to every word that his conscience tells him or her and live the Qur'an in order to win Allah's approval.

Lancaster County was spared as the U.S. Postal Service announced last week it is looking to close thousands of post offices, mostly in rural areas.
The USPS claims more customers go online and to contract providers for their postal needs, showing a physical post office is no longer required.
But the residents of Fort Lawn, Heath Springs and Van Wyck have been arguing for years that the post office is central to their small communities.
Investigators closed the book on two burglary cases last week with the arrest of two people at a Lancaster home.
John Benjamin Bernard Davis, 25, 2143 Pressly Road, Chester, and Lakia Laquanda Watts, 23, 603 Cunningham Road, Lancaster, were both arrested July 29 in connection with burglaries reported at homes on South Hughes and South French streets.
Davis was charged with two counts of first-degree burglary, while Watts was charged with accessory to burglary after the fact.
Special and inspiring.
Those two words may mean a lot of things, but to Debbie Crenshaw those words best describe her friend Judy Chandler, a well-known local humanitarian. Chandler died early Tuesday morning at age 62 after a long battle with cancer.
KERSHAW – Nicole Seegars didn't have a lot to say as she picked up food Tuesday morning at Second Baptist Church in Kershaw.
Though she said little, the Kershaw resident didn't hold back on expressing gratitude. The smile and glow in her eyes seemed to tell the story.
Seegars was one of a few hundred locals who received free food during a giveaway sponsored by Kershaw Area Resource Exchange (KARE). Items included frozen meats, juices, canned goods and paper towels.
Lancaster County school board has chosen a replacement for outgoing Indian Land High School Principal Kathy Faris — ILHS Assistant Principal David Shamble.
School board members made the decision Monday morning, a little over two weeks after Faris an-nounced July 14 she was stepping down in order to teach high school math in another school district.
Shamble has served as an assistant principal at the school since 2007.
Water and sewer improvements, the rehabilitation of vacant buildings and economic development are part of the list of needs Lancaster city officials hope to soon address.
With limited funding these days, they're looking to a familiar resource to help pay for some of the initiatives.
Grazier Rhea from the Catawba Regional Council of Governments (COG) spoke Tuesday at Lancaster City Council's meeting about applying for Community Development Block Grant funds, which the city has sought in the past.
Glancing at the various plaques and awards that line the walls of the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office, Lt. Eric Brown is quick to talk about his duties with the department and his future career goals.
But what Brown is a little more humble about is the fact he joined the ranks of those honored deputies hanging on the wall, as well as others throughout the state, when he was named South Carolina's Deputy Sheriff of the Year by the S.C. Sheriff's Association.
Sheilah Plonk of Indian Land has a thing about littering.
Going to the store, going to work, at work, running errands, on road trips, if Plonk sees a bad case of trash strewn along the side of the road, chances are she's going to stop and pick it up.
"I got it bad," Plonk said, smiling at the recognition of what has become as much an obsession as a pastime.
From release
Indian Land's Christopher Venditti, 12, has qualified as one of the top 42 motocross riders in the nation for his age class.
The dirt-bike racer has qualified for the fifth time for the largest amateur motocross race in the world, the 30th annual Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships, set for Aug. 1-6 at Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn.
Christopher competed with more than 20,000 hopefuls from across America to earn one of 1,386 qualifying spots.
Lancaster Police Chief Harlean Howard calls a series of break-ins at a local school "egregious" and said officers are still on the hunt for the culprit.
Howard said police investigators have worked for the last several weeks to figure out who has returned three times to burglarize a portable outdoor classroom at Discovery School, located at 302 W. Dunlap St. The same mobile unit was broken into July 12, 13 and 18, though no suspects have been found.

Brevard, N.C. - Coach Michael Jones and Coach Shannon Reid fell to 0-2 lifetime in the Zaxby's Chuck-A-Chicken contest as the Tornados opened up the 2010-2011 men's and women's basketball seasons last night in Boshamer Gymnasium at the Tornado Tipoff.
The evening began in the auxiliary gymnasium as the basketball teams, the cheerleaders, members of the Tornado Club and the community of Brevard, as well as the students of Brevard College sat down to a meal provided by Poppies Gourmet Market and Café. BC Athletic Director Kim Pate opened up the proceedings, before turning the microphone over to Dr. Drew Van Horn, president of Brevard College, who provided the welcome to all who were in attendance. Ken Kolb, the president of the Tornado Club also was up on stage to provide his own welcome and encouraged all in attendance to join the Tornado Club in support of the student-athletes here at Brevard College.
Following the introduction, the women's basketball team, led by Coach Reid, took the stage to preview the 2010-2011 basketball season about her team and the South Atlantic Conference.
Coach Reid commented about the difficulty of playing in the SAC, as the conference had five teams reach the NCAA Regional tournament last year, including the addition of Anderson University, but her team also had a statement of their own to make after being picked 10th in the SAC Preseason Coaches' poll.
While Coach Reid was speaking, the players unzipped their jackets to reveal shirts with the number 10 covered by the universal sign for no to say they will not finish 10th in the conference this year, with the depth and abilities on the team in this upcoming season.
The stage was then turned over to the men's basketball team as the BC Athletic Department recognized the accomplishments of the team last season with the presentation of the 2010 Food Lion SAC Championship and the NCAA Regional Tournament Appearance banners, which will be hung in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Coach Jones then talked briefly about the impact of the players in the SAC Conference Tournament championship run last year. He did go on to mention the impact players he is expecting to step up this season to continue the success in the program.
The cheerleaders also took the stage to talk about the upcoming season and their expectations and goals for the squad in the upcoming year.
Following the meal, the teams took to the court to warm-up before the lights went off and the tornado siren filled the air as the 2010 Tornado Tipoff started in full force in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Ray Gill brought the players out to the court one-by-one, introducing the players by their nicknames, before the women's basketball team took the court for a 15 minute running clock scrimmage.
The remainder of the evening saw the BC Cheerleading squad lead the fans through a series of cheers, while faculty members and students participated in half court challenges, the Jets Jersey Dress Shot, and the K-Mart MyGopher Challenge, before giving way to the men's scrimmage.
The evening culminated in the Zaxby's Chuck-A-Chicken contest, with the teams being Coach Reid and Coach Jones against Dr. Van Horn and Head Baseball Coach Matt McCay, with the loser having to do the Chicken Dance in front of the entire crowd.
The Brevard College Athletic Department would like to extend an official thank you to the following businesses for their support and donations to the Tornado Tipoff: K-Mart, Co-ed Theater, Zaxby's, Jets Pizza, and Poppies Gourmet Market and Cafe.

I just received an Alfa AWUS036H and decided to toy with it using what I have already used before within BT5 (given that I'm new to it as well). While it did connect fine on its own, I was surprised to find that when using the flop_router6 command over the Alfa adapter, BT5 begins to run poorly and no longer take commands within the terminal properly. While I can still stop the flood, any commands after that will no longer be accepted, but instead just move down one line after hitting enter. This happens for any command, and even if I open a new terminal window. I cannot find any reports of similar issues online, so is this a sign that my adapter is not functioning properly or is there something I am perhaps overlooking here?
I am using BT5r3 and the preinstalled thc-ipv6 1.9 tools.
Thank you!

Work/Life balance?
Anyone else out there struggling to get a balance between work life and home/family time? I recently quit my job to stay home with my son because the job I was in was overloading everyone - all our family time happened in the car! Now I'm having trouble finding a new job that offers flexible/early hours so that I can make time daily to spend with my awesome son. And it would be nice to have energy at the end of the the day for my hubby too.
10th April 2012 11:45 PM #2
Hi JennKen,
It's hard, isn't it?! I want to spend every minute of the day with my little boy but I have to work (part time) too. I don't want to compromise/ miss out on any time with him but I also know it isn't possible for me to be with him all the time.
I hope you soon find a job with flexible working hours. It's great that you made the decision to quit your old job and prioritise more family time.
I have found that, in order to make sure I also spend quality time with my husband, we have to plan our 'dates' in advance - more than before we had children. Sometimes we will cook each other a special meal or plan to watch a favourite film when our toddler is sleeping. Sometimes I wonder what we did we all our time before we had kids....!

Hi JennKen,
You are to be commended for choosing to stay home with your son. Though it puts the squeeze on finances, it can be done and will greatly benefit your family. Think about areas in your life where you could cut back spending. Every little bit adds up.
ljmarsden had some good suggestions! Making time (planning dates with your husband) can be really fun for women as we typically get more enjoyment out of the planning process than we do out of the actual event (though that can be fun too). Planning where you'll go, what you'll eat, what you'll wear and what you'll do - it's just all part of the fun for us mums! Plus you don't have to plan to spend a lot (or even anything) - you could just plan to have a picnic on the living room floor during bub's nap time.
I just started a thread called Saving Money on Family Needs. Check out the resources I included on that post. I'm eager to learn how to save at least 50% or more on many of our family purchases, including food, clothing and sundries and hope that it will help you be able to spend more time with your family and less time working (or at least help while you're searching for that perfect job).
One thing I'd like to mention is that many of the pre-packaged foods you may find for free or inexpensive prices will not give you the energy you need at the end of the day for your husband. If you like eating prepackaged foods for find it's a necessity (to save money) then you'll definitely want to be sure you're at least taking a high quality multi-vitamin. Eating right and exercising regularly can help you have more energy and taking quality supplements to boost nutrients you may be low in can help as well.
For starters, here's a video that specifically talks about how to cut your grocery bill in half.

Thanks ladies, Kate I will be checking out your money-saving resources. We are fortunate to have grandparents close by so that we can go out as their schedule permits, which is nice.
We really don't eat a lot of packaged foods, we both cook and prefer that as much as possible.

You can work at home too; other moms are working at home to spend time with their kids and hubby. I think it is better to work at home when you are a mom. You will take care of your children while working and you will monitor them always.

WATCH: Maroon 5 Teases Us With The Tropics In 'Maps' Lyric Video
Listen to Maroon 5 Radio on iHeartRadio
With summer now officially in full swing, we've been needing another reason to want to take a cruise – and now we do. Maroon 5 leads us to the tropics with their just-released "Maps" lyric video, which features spinning flowers and palm trees.
Call us crazy, but that's certainly a tease for a good time! "All the roads you took came back to me. So I'm following the map that leads to you, the map that leads to you," Adam Levine sings on the larger-than-life chorus. "Ain't nothing I can do…the map that leads to you–following, following, following to you. The map that leads to you…ain't nothing I can do. The map that leads to you…following, following, following."
Maroon 5 have now followed the song to a record start on Adult Pop Songs upon release, bowing at No. 16 on the chart. With 1,909 first-week plays, the tune broke records for the best opening week plays in the chart's 18-year history, according to Billboard. The song also charged in at No. 18 on Pop Songs.
"Maps," a breezy love anthem, serves as the lead offering to the band's forthcoming album V (out Sept. 2).

Habitat for Humanity in Central Arizona (HFHCAZ) has one very strong mission. And that is to build simple, affordable and decent places to live, in partnership with low-income families in need. The word "affordable" is key not only in the cost to build but also the cost to live in and maintain. Sustainable 'green' building practices complement this mission. By improving the energy and water efficiency, as well as the durability and indoor air quality of Habitat homes, "affordability" and "sustainability" become ideal counterparts. HFHCAZ recognized the value of this relationship and began implementing 'green' building practices into its model over a decade ago by building Energy Star homes. In the Fall of 2008, HFHCAZ became the first affiliate in the country to build an affordable home at the LEED Platinum level.
An upcoming HFHCAZ home build has been selected as one of the Legacy Projects for the 2009 Greenbuild International Conference & Expo. Habitat will soon build a Net Zero Energy Affordable home during the five days of the conference, November 9 – 13, 2009, and will pursue LEED Platinum Certification. The 1,325-square-foot, three-bedroom home will be built in the City of Phoenix Enterprise Community on 20 N. 27th Drive. This project will serve as national model, demonstrating that the LEED for Homes Rating System is successfully being used for affordable housing.
Energy modeling software testing has reported that, on a yearly average, the home will produce more energy than it consumes. This is achieved through a wide range of design considerations when building including: the insulation and air tightness of the exterior walls and attic, the efficiency of the equipment installed, and the use of solar power. The long-term benefits of this Net Zero Energy, Green Habitat home are lower energy bills, lower water bills, better indoor air quality, less homeowner maintenance and a smaller ecological footprint.
The qualified Habitat family for this home is a single mom and two teenage children. She will contribute a minimum of 400 sweat equity hours working side by side with volunteers to build the home as well as pay a zero percent mortgage to HFHCAZ. The family will also participate in financial education classes and homeowner education classes to provide information on ways to optimize the use of the green features in the home.

The AVS Bugflector II is a great piece. I bought this to replace another bugdeflector, from Chrysler, that broke at the mounting points after two years. This piece is much more sturdy and installation was a breeze.

He's already admitted he can't cut it at the highest level anymore on the back of 3 losses, I personally don't think he trains like he used to but whatever, where does he go from here?
He's destroyed all chance of fighting for the UFC again and wants out of the re-signing, matching period at the end of his contract and now that Strikeforce etc have all gone where does he go?
He should just stick to making movies now. I don't see how Bellator can afford to be him the $200,000 - $300,000 + that he'd want.
