"The sense of relief and release that came with the IRA ceasefire was palpable. More than eight months had passed since the Downing Street declaration, the guts of which came from the Hume-Adams paper. There had been the protracted calls for clarification, the Gerry Adams visa to the United States, expectation reverting to speculation and "soundings", so by August there were misgivings about what appeared to some to be a string-along.
"It was not only in public that SDLP leader John Hume was being questioned about what had happened to his belief that the declaration would be the prelude to a definitive ceasefire which would in turn provide the context for new, more inclusive political dialogue. That summer there were difficult meetings in the SDLP in which colleagues were questioning not John's motives or judgment but those of others. Talk of "lines to be drawn", "calls to be made", "how much more positioning, clarification or gratification does it take?". This reflected not just political frustration but disgust that the IRA campaign was still being "justified" after all the processed efforts to present the context for a ceasefire announcement.
"John Hume felt this frustration but was confident that the ceasefire would come. However, he was not in a position to divulge the basis of this to colleagues or the prospective time line. He was also conscious of resumed unionist allegations that he had stymied the Brooke-Mayhew talks in 1991-1992 in favour of the Hume- Adams approach that they now argued was clearly failing. One of his less intemperate ways of meeting colleagues' concerns that summer was to point to the need to prepare for future negotiations that would build on the agenda and other foundations from the 1991 and 1992 talks and the declaration, which strongly reflected the Hume-Adams draft.
Doubts were being entertained not only by some in the SDLP. Patience was wearing thin for others. That was certainly the signal from the Irish government.
"I recall US deputy national security adviser Nancy Soderberg's pointed scepticism when we discussed the request for Joe Cahill's visa. This was not a straight contrast to our earlier exchanges on the Adams visa but showed misgivings that that political investment by the Clinton administration should have been better rewarded by then and worry about things just being strung out.
I know that it was not just from his chats with me (some of them in or after meetings with John Hume) that Fr Alex Reid was aware of the strains on political patience outside the Provisional republican movement. Amid invocations of the Holy Spirit, he counselled that people should see such a test of patience as a test of their political commitment or instinct and compare it with the allowances that could be made for unionism and the British in the conduct of politics. In this context he expressed a profound esteem for John Hume and his forbearance throughout personally challenging phases of the process.
"I was conscious too of the papers Fr Reid was sharing with us reflected other "peace mission" engagement with loyalist paramilitaries. His belief that prospects of a possible loyalist ceasefire would not turn into a precondition for a decisive IRA move was convincing to me and was reinforced by other soundings. On the converse concern about possible IRA sensibilities that a subsequent loyalist ceasefire might be used to reinforce the pretence that loyalist violence had only been in response to the IRA's, Fr Reid was firm that it should not be an impediment to the IRA's own declaration."

EA allegedly considering two ways of re-introducing microtransactions into Star Wars Battlefront 2; Details
Nov 17, 2017 | 20 Comments
WayForward Technologies' remake of the classic DuckTales NES game is selling for a limited time in stores. Only the PlayStation 3 version is available as a physical copy.
DuckTales: Remastered released on the PlayStation Network, Steam, and the Wii U eShop this month. It's also coming to Xbox Live Arcade on September 11.
The limited box version is only on shelves in the U.S., confirmed Capcom. Each copy contains an exclusive cover art sleeve, bonus Scrooge Collectors pin, and a download voucher for the PSN game. So you won't get a disc with this one.
The retail edition costs $20. That's $5 more than the regular digital version.

Good afternoon, and welcome to today's executive session. I will briefly summarize some of the bills before the Committee. We expect we may have some recorded votes and I know my colleagues will also like to spend time speaking about legislation important to them.
S. 1956, the European Union (EU) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) Prohibition Act of 2011, would give the Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT) the authority to prohibit an operator of U.S. civil aircraft from participating in the EU ETS if the Secretary determines the prohibition to be in the public interest. I believe we must all work together to find a way to move forward on this issue that is both legally and politically sustainable. I think that the airline industry needs to take steps to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions now. I do not discount or dismiss the technical and financial challenges to this effort, but limiting pollution and protecting our environment is too imperative to ignore.
We will also consider S. 1980, Pirate Fishing Elimination Act, a bill that Senator Inouye supports that would prevent, deter, and eliminate illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU or "pirate fishing"). Senator Kerry's bill, S. 2279, R.M.S. Titanic Maritime Memorial Preservation Act of 2012, is a bill formally transmitted to Congress by the Administration that would help protect the international wreck site of the R.M.S. Titanic from looting and intrusive research, and recognize legal salvage interests. We will also consider S. 2388, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps Amendments Act of 2012 which would improve the Nation's ocean survey workforce by reauthorizing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Office Corps (NOAA Corps). The Corps was last authorized in 2002.
I am pleased to support the nomination of Mr. Michael P. Huerta, to be Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. Mr. Huerta has first-hand experience with the challenges confronting the FAA and he has bipartisan support. I think we can all agree that it is vitally important for us to maintain the highest level of safety in the aviation industry and I hope we can move quickly to fill this post. We will also consider the nominations of: Mr. William P. Doyle, to be a Commissioner at the Federal Maritime Commission; Dr. Patricia K. Falcone, to be Associate Director of National Security and International Affairs for the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP); and the promotions of three senior officers in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Commissioned Officer Corps.
This will not be the Committee's last Executive Session. The Committee has a number of bills that will be ready in September. Although I would have preferred to move them today, I want to give my colleagues the time they need to review these bills. Two of the bills that we plan to take up in September, S. 3291, the Fair Telephone Billing Act and S. 3378, the Forensics Science and Standards Act are bills that I introduced and I believe it is imperative that we move them forward.
So with all that, I will turn to Senator Hutchison. Thank you all very much. Ranking Member Hutchison.

The attack on Sunday morning, which killed at least 13 people, comes as the terror group is under increasing pressure from a US-backed offensive in Mosul.
The Daesh terrorist organisation claimed responsibility for a car bomb blast at a vegetable market in eastern Baghdad on Sunday.
Police and medical sources said the attack killed at least 13 people and wounded 50 others.
The explosion hit the mainly Shia district of Jamila, the sources added.
Reuters reported that Daesh took responsibility for the attack in an online statement.
The group is under increasing pressure from a US-backed offensive in Mosul, its last major stronghold in Iraq, and frequently carries out deadly suicide bombings across the country.

No 'White Christmas' For Most Canadians
December 11, 2011 by staff
No 'White Christmas' For Most Canadians, The chances of a white Christmas increase as you head north in Canada, with Yellowknife, Whitehorse and Iqaluit all but guaranteed to see some white stuff on the ground on Dec. 25.
But in the rest of Canada the odds are a lot slimmer, according to Dave Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada.
"Right now if you were an odds maker I'd be betting a few loonies on the fact there will be a few more areas than last year that will be green rather than white this Christmas," Phillips told CTVNews.ca.
In order to qualify as a "white Christmas" there must be two centimetres of snow on the ground on Dec. 25.
Right now, in addition to White Horse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit, only Ottawa, Winnipeg, Regina and Edmonton have the requisite blanket of snow. And just barely.
Ottawa has two centimetres of snow, but with temperatures of 2 degrees Celcius expected on Thursday the city is likely to return to 'green' status in short order.
Winnipeg also has two centimetres, but that's a far cry from the 14 centimetres normally on the ground in the city that has a 98 per cent chance each year of having a snowy Christmas.
Regina has two centimetres of snow while Edmonton has five centimetres.

Coming just a day after CBS revealed that Lara Logan was brutally attacked in Cairo, GQ published an interview with Fox News correspondent Greg Palkot, who was badly injured when pro-Mubarak thugs pummeled him and his cameraman, Olaf Wiig.
What were you thinking when you were first attacked?
That we were in trouble. That we were in deep trouble. Again, though: there were a few people in the crowd who did not think it was a great thing to kill foreigners out on the street in Cairo. So we were guided forward and protected by a few people in the crowd. And very shortly we saw what our goal would be and that was an Egyptian Army APC [armored personnel carrier] that was sitting in the middle of a plaza ahead of us.
Were you able to fight back?
I did my best but it's tough because you're getting it from all sides. You're fending off the blows, you're trying to figure out if somebody's a friend of yours when they're looking at you, and then the next minute they're smashing you in the face.
Did you think about your family while this was happening?
Oh yeah, it's quick, your life going by. Basically it was: it can't end this way, ok? It can't end in the middle of a riot with a bunch of thugs kicking the heck out of me. It can't end this way.

Geno won't press charges after fight
Jets quarterback Geno Smith said yesterday that he won't press charges against former teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali, the linebacker who famously sucker-punched Smith in a locker room altercation and broke his jaw in two places.
Smith practiced with a helmet on and participated in team drills yesterday for the first time since the fight occurred.
Enemkpali punched Smith over an unpaid $600 debt on Aug. 11. A few days later, Smith underwent surgery and had plates and screws inserted into his jaw.
Asked if he's paid Enemkpali since the incident, Smith declined to answer and simply said, "Next question." Asked why he didn't initially pay Enemkpali, Smith declined to answer.
Smith said there's a "lesson learned" in every situation.
Asked what that lesson is in this case, he said, "I'll keep that to myself."

SYDNEY, May 25 (Reuters) - The Australian government said on Thursday it has lowered the investment return target for its sovereign wealth manager Future Fund by 0.5 percentage points citing difficult global market conditions.
The new mandate is to achieve returns of 4-5 percent above inflation, from July 1, Treasurer Scott Morrison and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said in a joint statement. Headline inflation stood at 2.1 percent in the first quarter of the year but key measures of core inflation is still below the central bank's 2 to 3 percent target band.
"Actuarial analysis indicates global investment market conditions may make it increasingly difficult for the Future Fund Board of Guardians to achieve current returns without taking on excessive risk," the ministers said.
"The revised mandate which will now be tabled in Parliament, reflects changed global investment market conditions and outlook."
Future Fund has returned 7.7 percent per year since the fund started in 2006 - above its target of 6.9 percent.
However, Chairman Peter Costello had in recent months warned of possible lower returns ahead. Last year, the fund posted its first quarterly decline in assets since 2012 amid market volatility and low interest rates.
The Future Fund was set up with contributions of A$60.5 billion to cover pension liabilities for public servants and now stands at A$130 billion ($97.45 billion).
Last year, the fund was part of a consortium which won a A$9.7 billion bid to purchase Australia's busiest port. China Investment Corp and Canada's Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System were also part of the winning group.

On the New Year's Eve, women were molested on the busiest streets of Bangalore by a bunch of monsters under the supervision of 1500 policemen who were deployed to ensure the safety of people.
It resulted in a 'stampede' with girls being groped, molested and pawed at.
It was just another stark reminder that India is far, far away from being a safe place for women. We lost the battle for women's safety that we'd been fighting for decades right there.
Now, a video of a girl getting molested that night has surfaced and while it's very, very disturbing, it's important to be shown to everybody in this country. Because being ignorant is not an option anymore. Because it's time India gets a much needed reminder about how 'normal' sexual assault has become.
She was walking home at 2.40 am when the incident happened.
Watch her struggle as the two men molest and assault her, throw her on the ground and drive off. Because that's how much of a daily occurrence this has become. Watch this and feel ashamed of being a part of this country.

President Obama has announced an ambitious new program intended to provide low-income households with easily affordable high-speed Internet service.

To be operated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the ConnectHome program will initially provide over 275,000 low-income households and nearly 200,000 children across the U.S. and on tribal lands with access to high-speed broadband Internet services.

According to the White House, Internet Service Providers, non-profits and the private sector will offer broadband access, technical training, digital literacy programs, and devices for residents in assisted housing units.

Initially, the ConnectHome program will be made available in 28 communities including:

Albany, GA; Atlanta, GA; Baltimore, MD; Baton Rouge, LA; Boston, MA; Camden, NJ; Choctaw Nation, OK; Cleveland, OH; Denver, CO; Durham, NC; Fresno, CA; Kansas City, MO; Little Rock, AR; Los Angeles, CA; Macon, GA; Memphis, TN; Meriden, CT; Nashville, TN; New Orleans, LA; New York, NY; Newark, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; Rockford, IL; San Antonio, TX; Seattle, WA; Springfield, MA; Tampa, FL; and Washington, DC.

The ConnectHome initiative is an extension of the Obama administration's Connecting America program intended to extend high speed broadband Internet access to all Americans and its ConnectED initiative, with a goal of connecting 99% of K-12 students to high-speed Internet in their classrooms and libraries by 2020.

Created in March 2015, the president's Broadband Opportunity Council includes 25 federal agencies and departments working to expand broadband access nationwide.

According to the White House, universal broadband access is critical to America's economic competitiveness in the 21st century global economy and improving education, health care, and public safety.

Who Still Does Not Have Broadband Access?

While 98% of Americans now live in areas where high-speed 4G wireless broadband Internet is available, a Pew Research Center survey shows that fewer than 50% of households with annual incomes under $25,000 have Internet service, compared to 92% of households with incomes between $100,000 and $150,000. In addition, at least 5 million households with school-age children do not have high-speed Internet service, according to the American Library Association.

"While nearly two-thirds of households in the lowest-income quintile own a computer, less than half have a home internet subscription," the White House said in a statement. "While many middle-class U.S. students go home to Internet access, allowing them to do research, write papers, and communicate digitally with their teachers and other students, too many lower-income children go unplugged every afternoon when school ends. This 'homework gap' runs the risk of widening the achievement gap, denying hardworking students the benefit of a technology-enriched education."

How and How Much Will it Cost

To make the ConnectHome pilot program work, the federal government will partner with several major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other public and private sector organizations.

For example:

Google Fiber has committed to offer free monthly Internet service to homes in certain HUD public housing communities in Atlanta, Durham, North Carolina, Kansas City, Missouri and Nashville.

ISP CenturyLink will offer its broadband Internet service to HUD public housing projects in the Seattle area starting at $9.95 a month for the first year, increasing to $14.95 over the next four years.

Cox Communications will offer home Internet service for $9.95 per month to eligible K-12 families residing in public housing in Macon, Meriden, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans.

Sprint will work with HUD and the ConnectHome program to make its free wireless broadband Internet access service program available to eligible K-12 students living in public housing.

Cherokee Communications, Pine Telephone, Suddenlink Communications, and Vyve Broadband will work together to provide low-cost, high-speed internet to over 425 residents in select communities of the Oklahoma Choctaw Tribal Nation.

Home improvement retailer Best Buy will offer public housing residents in select ConnectHome demonstration project cities, including Choctaw Tribal Nation computer training and technical support.

"Since the president took office, the private and public sectors have invested over $260 billion into new broadband infrastructure, and three in four Americans now use broadband at home," the White House said. "Thanks to smart spectrum policies and world-leading technology, fast 4G wireless broadband is now available to over 98% of Americans -- up from 0% since 2009."

HUD noted that the ConnectHome demonstration program relies only on already-available HUD resources along with the cooperation of the public and private sector organizations involved, and that no additional federal funding will be required.

Been travelling these great forums for a day or two, but haven't come across a solution to my problem – so here goes:
To the right of the menu in the header, I'd like to have an image, which upon clicking will take you to a page. It's probably dead easy to do, I've just ran out of ideas here. See attached mock-up.
NOTE: I do not wan't it to appear on top of the header (like social icons/phone number does)
Thanks in advance! :)
Hi VisuellDK!
Thank you for using the theme!
Please go to Appearance > Menus panel. Create a custom link. Add html tag on the menu label or title. Something like this:
<img src="IMAGE URI HERE" />
Inspect the menu item then look for the menu id, use it to modify the image inside the menu. It will look something like this:
li#menu-item-3128 img {
/* Add style here*/
The id of the menu item is 3128, it might be different with yours.
Hi Ismael
Thanks for the reply. I'll try it out later today, and let you know how it goes :)
Hi again – neat little trick, works like a charm!
If i need to fine tune the positioning, is there a CSS for that?
You can use the selector Ismael posted here – https://kriesi.at/support/topic/clickable-image-in-header/#post-284939 i.e.:
li#menu-item-3128 img {
margin-left: 10px;
Best regards,
Cheers for that… blind as a bat I am ;)

2014 Cabernet Merlot
Sold Out
50% Merlot
32% Cab. Franc
8% Cab. Sauv.
6% Malbec
4% Syrah
For over a quarter century, we've experimented with blending. A lot. And what we discovered with fullbodied red wines is that often the sum is greater than the parts. The sum in this blend is: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Syrah. And the fun part is that the power of blending often over delivers in quality. All our winemaking decisions get the same attention to detail as the Cabernet Merlot does. And the results show in every bottle. On that, you have our word.
A Not-So-Little, Little Thing
At just 4%, the Syrah certainly isn't the dominant grape in the blend, but it lifts the fruit profile of the overall wine, providing juicy berry fruit flavours.

Nexium (Esomeprazole) manufactured by AstraZeneca is a proton pump inhibitor approved by FDA in 2001 for the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. In late 2010, AstraZeneca announced a co-promotion agreement with Daiichi Sankyo to distribute Nexium.
The February 2016 issue of JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association, included publication of new study results which showed a 20 to 50 percent increased risk of chronic kidney disease in patients taking Nexium (esomeprazole) and similar medications.
A 2009 study based in Copenhagen showed that PPI use may cause a rebound acid release if discontinued. This indicates that patients may become dependent on the medications.
In 2006, the medical journal, JAMA published a study which showed that long term use of PPI medications may increase the risk of hip fractures in the elderly. Nexium and other PPI medications have been the subject of investigations relating to harm since 2006.
Many Nexium lawsuits have been filed on behalf of consumers who have faced severe bone deterioration or fractures.
Serious complications faced till date
- Chronic kidney disease
- Nephritis
- Renal Impairment
- Bone Deterioration
- Dementia/Seizures
- Tetany(Muscle spasm)
- Infections
- Arrhythmia and Heart problems
- Low magnesium level
Nexium Litigations
In 2010, PPI use was suspected of causing cardiac-related birth defects when taken during pregnancy. The Food and Drug Administration concluded that no statistically significant risk had been shown. In 2010, the FDA issued a consumer warning for bone deterioration with Nexium and other PPI use.
In 2011, the FDA issued an additional warning regarding the risk of the development of low magnesium levels or hypomagnesemia with symptoms of neurological, muscular and cardiac effects, when PPI medications such as Nexium are taken.
In December 2014, the FDA issued a warning about adding acute interstitial nephritis to the label, which when not treated may lead to renal failure.
Evidence to be looked for in potential cases
- Usage of Nexium in Pharmacy records
- Duration of Nexium usage
- Indication for Nexium usage in Medical records
- Complication and their Treatment after Nexium usage
Medical Record Review and claim validation of Nexium case should take approximately 4 hours in most instances; however, this approximation may vary in cases based on the volume of records.

Vitamin C-rich foods are very important for our health, especially when it comes to having a stronger immune system. Foods that are ideally rich in vitamin C must be consumed during winter season.
Vitamin C foods help to fight cold and flu and improve the immune system, which, therefore, makes it a must have food for winter season. Foods rich in vitamin C need not have to be only oranges. Apart from this, there are certain foods that are rich in vitamin C.
Reasons To Consume Orange Juice
Antioxidants present in vitamin C help in preventing excessive activity of the free radical molecules. Foods rich in vitamin C help to curb this damage, thus making it an important source to maintain a good immune system.
How to Get Rid of Jock Itch
Luckily, most of the vitamin C-rich foods are the ones that we generally consume every day. Include healthy food in your diet every day and, for sure, you would be getting your daily dose of vitamin C.
In this article, we are here to share some of the vitamin C-rich foods that you can consume this winter.
Cabbage is loaded with vitamins C and K, folate, minerals, fibre, antioxidants and anti-carcinogenic compounds known as glucosinolates. Studies reveal that, this vegetable can even reduce cholesterol levels and lower the risk of cancer and diabetes. This is one of the must have foods during winter.
Red Bell Peppers
Red bell peppers are loaded with vitamin C and are the best options to include for snacking. They have less sugar content and are naturally sweet. Did you know that consuming just one red bell pepper has complete vitamin C requirement for the day? Yes, it does.
Note: The vitamin C content gets reduced if the peppers are cooked, so it is best to eat this veggie as a topping or a snack to get the most benefits.
Carrots are also rich sources of vitamin C. It has beta-carotene, magnesium, and fibre present in it. All these components help to keep your immune system healthy. Do make it a point to include this must have food during winter.
Pineapples are fantastic sources of vitamin C. The enzymes present in this fruit aid in digestion and help in reducing bloating. Pineapple is also high in water content and hence keeps your body hydrated. Consume this food in limited quantity, if you are prone to diabetes, as it is rich in sugar content.
Generally, almost all berries are rich sources of vitamin C. Berries have less content of sugar in them as well, which makes them a healthy food to consume. Berries are good for your heart, digestion, immune system and your brain. Include them in your diet today.
Cherries are natural healers and they are very good sources of vitamin C. Consuming cherries regularly can help boost your immune system, also prevent inflammation and aid in helping you sleep better.
Turnips are not everybody's favourite food! However, they are an excellent choice for vitamin C. They are low in carbs and have great powers to increase immunity, especially during winters. Make sure you consume this veggie for better health.

The ability to travel frequently is an awesome perk of studying abroad…but it can also be one of the most expensive parts of your semester, especially if you identify as a "luxury traveler." Since you're probably rocking a student budget and don't have Mom and Dad there to book the swankiest hotels in town, it's high-time you learn the budget-friendly and joyful ways of hostelling abroad.
Staying in youth hostels is a cheap way to travel. Generally speaking, a hostel is a form of housing where residents pay to rent a bed instead of a full room. Many offer dorm style housing, with six to sixteen beds in a room (which may be either coed or gender specific, depending on the hostel). Hostels exist worldwide, so rest easy knowing no matter if you are studying in England, China, Australia, or Chile, you won't get the short-end of the student accommodation stick.
Hostels are great venues for meeting fellow travelers and securing an affordable place to unwind/catch some ZzZ's in the evenings. Here are a few tips to consider when choosing cheap student hostels during your summer or semester studying abroad.
Understand the age limits.
Many, but not all, hostels are designated for youth and student use only. This age range is somewhere between 16 and 30, depending on the part of the world you visit. This is important to look into for two reasons: one, you may or may not be excluded from a facility based on your age. Two, you may prefer to stay at a hostel that only rents to people in your age group. Knowing the general age range of your new roomies will make your stay a lot more comfortable and enjoyable (not to discriminate against old fogeys, they often invite fascinating conversations and incredulous life stories!).
Look at reviews online.
Most hostels can be found through online booking services where you can also read reviews from previous travelers. This is a good way to gauge the cleanliness, accessibility, and atmosphere of a specific hostel. Some hostels have problems with bugs or basic safety features, while others cater extremely well to extroverted adventurers by offering nice amenities, on-site food service, and even guided tours. Reading online review is also a good way to find out if the hostel has public or private showers, as well as if kitchen facilities are available for cooking.
Keep in mind that you'll want to steer clear of hostels with basement bars or neighborhood clubs if you want a good night's sleep.
Locate the nearest public transportation.
You should find out the nearest public transportation to and from your hostel, preferably before you book it. A lot of the times, hostels are cheaper if they are further from the main touristy sights. A hostel that is too difficult to get to it can negatively impact your trip; it takes up precious time or causes you to pay expensive taxi fees to get around efficiently. By finding the address of your hostel and doing a quick online search, you should be able to see if it is close to the metro or other stops so that you can get around smoothly (and ideally on foot!).
Know the check-in/check-out times.
Not all hostels are staffed 24-hours, so it is important to know when you can check-in and out. Most hostels allow check-in during the afternoon and expect you to check-out in the morning (otherwise you may get dinged with extra fees). There also may be curfew hours where the front door is locked while the staff is off duty, which is important to know so you're not locked out of your hostel in the wee hours of morn.
Travel with your passport.
It should be common sense to travel with your passport whenever you leave your study abroad nest, but it is absolutely imperative to have it if you plan to stay at hostels. Hostels are responsible for reporting to the police who stayed there, and most are unable to rent you a bed unless you have proper legal identification. When you leave your hostel, be sure to carry your passport with you so it isn't lost, stolen, or worse! (Eaten).
Arrive with cash and expect to pay a key deposit.
Hostels in most parts of the world are a cash business. While some larger (more expensive) chains will take credit cards, most prefer cash. It is important to have enough cash on you at arrival to pay for your bed and take care of any extra upfront expenses, such as for deposits for keys, towel rentals, or internet access. Oftentimes deposits can be returned upon check out if the items are returned in good condition.
Pack a towel!
While hotels usually provide linens, hostels frequently do not. It is good practice to bring your own towel to avoid rental fees adding up (or using your dirty socks to spot-dry after a rinse). A towel can also double as a privacy curtain if you hang it over the side rail of your bunk.
In this same vein, don't be surprised if you have to make your own bed in the hostel. Oftentimes, your clean linens will be waiting for you neatly folded on the bed, or the nice desk staff will hand them over after check in. If only we could pack Moms in our carry on's...
Bring a lock.
Since you are renting a bed in a shared room, it is important that you take appropriate measures to keep your stuff safe. Your roommates will be fellow travelers and will rarely cause you any problems; however, since you will be rooming with strangers, caution is necessary. Most hostels provide lockers for you to use during your stay, some will be key operated, but many will require that you bring your own lock. A small combination lock will work just fine and keep your stuff safe and sound while you're out exploring and living it up.
Be respectful of your roommates.
Living in a shared room can be either really fun or really frustrating, depending on your roommates (and attitude!). You can increase your chances of having good roommates by being a good roommate yourself. Don't be afraid to engage in conversation with the folks in your room, as many will likely be traveling in small groups or solo. Gauge their interest in conversation, some travelers will be looking for adventure buddies while others will be enjoying their peaceful escape. Everyone should feel comfortable in your room at the hostel; give other residents as much or as little privacy, silence, and space that they indicate they want.
Pro tip: Considering packing your bags or setting your stuff out during normal waking hours so you won't be fumbling around/making noise in the dark (and consequently upsetting your roomies).
There is more to be learned studying abroad than a brief paragraph could ever do justice. But developing travel savvy skills is an important lesson that students should not skim over. Staying in a hostel will challenge you to become streetwise, learn how to book things on your own, jump feet-first into the great adventure that is life…And you thought all you were doing was resting your weary bones at an affordable student accommodation!

I love the challenge this week at IDIC challenge blog. Make a bookmark. I wanted to do some thing that I haven't done before....kinda step out of my comfort zone. So, I have 2 bookmarks to offer. Both are made from the single rose digital stamp from Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps.
For the first one, a ribbon book mark. I cut a 12" length of ribbon for the purple and a 13" length of sheer ribbon in light pink. I printed out my rose in a wallet size on pink cs and shimmer cs. I fussy cut my rose from the pink and then colored it with copics (RV21 and RV23). I cut the stem (using fussy cut also) out of green shimmer. I used a large scallop punch and cut 2 out of purple cs. I used a medium circle punch and cut 1 out of the same pink cs I printed the rose on.
I mounted the rose using glue dots, also mounted the pink onto the purple using glue dots. Then I mounted the stem using glossy accents.
I attached the ribbon to the back of the purple cs scallop circle (the one that had the rose mounted on it)and used a glue dot on both sides of the ribbon. I sandwiched the 2 purple scallops together with the ribbon in the middle. Then I threaded the sheer ribbon thru the 2 purple beads. I used Ranger's Glossy Accents to make the end of the ribbon stiff to aid me in the threading...lol...
I fussy cut all the rose blooms from the pink and purple, and all the stems from the green. Then I used Spring Violet glimmer mist and sprayed all the blooms, both pink and purple. This made the purple ones darker and the pink ones a light purple. I mod podged them onto the 12"x3" cs. I put the dark purple down first, and then the light purple, being sure to alternate and let some hang off the edges. I put a coat of mod podge on top and then put a rose and stem I pieced together on top of the other roses. I did this twice. One on top one on the bottom.
I mod podged it all again. I used Glossy Mod Podge for this as I wanted it to stay shiny. After it dried, I stamped with a single rose all over the bookmark to give it depth.
And here it is:
Mama Hen
Mama to a houseful of chicks (boys and girls!). So thankful for all my blessings! I have been scrapping for about 17 years, dabble in other media and arts as well!
As my chicks grow...
And as I find more time to get creative, I thought I would share some of my creations, as well as my time with others. Hopefully I will make new friendships and create lasting bonds over paper, adhesive, and embellishments. So sit back, relax, and let's share...have a cup of coffee, or tea, or in my case a Coke...lol... and let's just have a blast creating, finding new projects to make together, and gathering our supplies for future endeavors!

Having had hands-on volunteer arts and mental health volunteer experience for the past 5 years, I have come to passionately support this proposed change to the Florida constitution. Twenty years ago, I founded the Journey Daybook, a registered Florida non-profit collaborative. We work one-on-one with select small groups of women inmates at the Florida Women's Reception Center, in Lowell, near Ocala FL. We teach these women how to access their intuition and express their feelings through written, illustrated journals. I have had a unique opportunity to know many of these women on a personal basis as friends and to understand the harsh reality and heartfelt healing and redemption that that can result after a long prison sentence.
Recently, there has been much in the media describing the problems and challenges of incarcerated adults who adapt to recreating their lives outside prison. Among these spokespersons are Susan Burton, author of Becoming Ms Burton: from Prison to Recovery. She received a CNN Hero of the Year award in 2010. Recently, there have been several other books and documentaries made on this subject. Just Google the subject of "Prison Reform" and you will find a wealth of material.
Florida is one of only 3 states that does not allow the restoration of voting rights after incarceration for crimes except murder and sexual assault. The other states are Kentucky and Ohio. The Commonwealth of Virginia restored voting rights to ex-felons in 2016. Isn't it time that Florida become a state that shows compassion and opportunity to our citizens who have returned to society after incarceration?
The Florida Voting Rights Restoration Initiative (Initiative #14-01) may appear on the November 6, 2018 ballot. This measure would restore the right to vote for people with prior felony convictions, except those convicted of murder or a felony sexual offense, upon completion of their sentences.
I hope that you will understand the need for adopting this ballot initiative. Thank you for the opportunity to present my concern for the restoration of rights for those of us who have already paid our debt to society.

On behalf of Williston AARP Chapter 912 and Citizens for an Engaged Electorate (CEE), I wish to thank and congratulate the people of all ages and party preference who attended our jointly sponsored Candidate Forum on Saturday, July 23.
We appreciate the city's willingness to allow the event to take place in the community center, and we thank Mayor Heathcoat for allowing us to use the flag from City Hall. We also thank Pam Vamosi and the Lion's Club for graciously lending us their podium.
We are grateful for the presence of our Supervisor of Elections, Tammy Jones, who spoke and then maintained a voter registration and information table throughout the event.
We also thank the candidates for coming before the people to tell who they are, why they are running and what they plan to accomplish if they are chosen.
Jerry Lawrence and Jeff Edison for Superintendent of Schools and those running for positions on the County Commission—Berlon Weeks, John Meeks, Chetley Breeden, Mike Joyner, Matt Brooks and Danny Stevens—presented their contrasting views to enable voters to make informed choices.
Three of the six candidates running for our newly drawn U.S. Congress District 2—Steve Crapps, Rob Lapham and Ken Sukhia—drove many miles to be there, as did Florida Congressman Charlie Stone, who represents Levy County, as part of Florida House District 22. His opponent was not present.

It's 9:30 in the morning. I'm in the cabin of a once submerged, rather odd-looking houseboat. I'm listening to a pianist play one of his own compositions. Eyes closed, his head bobs slowly with the tempo.
Just another Monday morning in Cedar Key.
It began the night before. Captain Bobby tugged on my sleeve for the second time. "You've got to hear this young man play," Bobby said. "He's phenomenal." I did and he was. For the next hour or more, Galen Huckins coaxes notes from the baby grand in the lobby of the Island Hotel. A bit of New Orleans jazz, mixed with just a touch of classical. Even a dash of salsa, combined with a ballad or two. He changes tempo, then changes key. He reaches into the piano and plucks a string. The music flows. One after another, each piece more captivating then the last. After the last song Galen Huckins grins, shares a bit of his story and I'm hooked. We make arrangements to meet in the morning……

Cedar Key, it is déjà vu all over again. On Saturday of small boat weekend our 17 foot Oday day sailor capsized not too far from Atsena Otie in a failed jibe attempt because of what will remain an unspecified operator error. (Déjà vu all over again because this is our second knockdown for the same reason).
The purpose of this letter to the editor is to thank all of the anonymous small boat weekend participants who took part in our rescue. Our mishap occurred in water shallow enough that we could stand and we wound up walking, sheepishly, up to the beach on Seta Otie. In the meantime our boat was drifting away with the tide and wind and, honestly, we thought it might be best to just let it go. However, that was not to be.
Several people went about rescuing our boat. One group caught up to the drifting boat, stood on the center board which miraculously righted it, and then towed it to the beach. Another group retrieved almost all of our equipment (including the rudder). I think all we lost was one hat and one short piece of line. We were then ferried to town, hitched a ride home with Andy Bair, and brought our motor boat back to tow our sailboat home. Thanks to the efforts of many small boat weekend participants the sailboat is safely at home sitting on its lift looking no worse for its exciting Saturday.

The issue of signage is a critical one. Proper signage informs the public what it may do, where it might go, what is legal and illegal, and so on. In effect, signage ensures safety and promulgates adherence to expectations. Signs are not a convenience; they are a must. Lack of signage compromises public knowledge and consequently its safety.
Destruction of signs is not an option; however, their obliteration continues to occur on Lukens.
On May 4, at 6 pm the signs and the posts were still in place.
On May 5, at 7:20 am, less than 24 hours later, the signs and the posts were gone, nowhere to be found in the area.
As some focus upon the Suwannee River Water Management Distract's management regarding the Lukens Tract, others focus upon Levy County's issuance of building permits to Topping for his property at Lukens.
Below you will find Dr. Marguerite VanLandingham's challenge to Levy County for issuing a permit to Topping to build a home on the Lukens Tract.
Following those cogent arguments is Levy County Development Department Director William Hammond's response to VanLandingham.
Some registered voters in Levy County won't be allowed to vote in the presidential preference primary next month, March 2016. It has nothing to do with picture I.D. or precinct designation.
Florida is a closed primary state, and if you are not registered as a member of the party of the person for whom you wish to vote—either Democrat or Republican—you will not be allowed to vote for that person. Citizens registered as Independent, NPA, Green, Libertarian or other party affiliations may as well stay home. They won't be given a ballot.
It is not too late to register if you have moved or changed your name or you wish to vote for the first time. Neither is it too late to change your party affiliation if you wish to vote for your chosen candidate, but the deadline is looming. To vote in the presidential preference primary, you must declare your party ahead of time by registering for that party by February 16.
To be clear, if you wish to vote for Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, or any other Republican candidate, you must be registered as a Republican in order to get a Republican ballot in the primary on March 15 or during the early voting the week prior to that date.
If you wish to vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, you must be registered as a Democrat in order to get a Democratic ballot in the primary period in March.
It costs nothing to switch, and you can change right back after the vote. On the other hand, if you wish to vote in the August primary for other major party candidates, the same rules apply. You must be registered as a member of the party of the candidates for whom you wish to vote. That deadline is August 1.
Registration forms can be downloaded from the Internet at www.votelevy.com/Register-to-Vote. Completed forms can be mailed, but they must be postmarked by February 16, 2016. Forms can also be picked up at the office of the county's Supervisor of Elections, any DMV office or public library.
I can't imagine why anyone in America would skip the opportunity to vote. If you don't think the person in the White House has an impact on your life, you are not paying attention.
People have died for the right to vote, and others have died so that you can have this privilege. Please exercise your privilege, your duty, your honor to vote.

Payton played a good Bill
Would you believe that another visual aid he used was Bill Belichick?
Well, it wasn't actually Belichick. It was a likeness of him, played by Payton himself in the week leading up to Pats-Saints.
Payton was making an effort to demystify the iconic Patriots coach, and humanize him to his player. So he grabbed a hoodie, cut off the sleeves and went to work. My old Dallas pal Ed Werder, of ESPN, put together a piece on it this week (Can't find the video online, otherwise I'd link it) and got some pretty funny stuff from Saints players.
Offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb said, "The whole deal, from head to toe, he was Bill." Darren Sharper added "He's not as built or stocky as Belichick, so I think he put a little pillow under his stomach. So I hope coach Belichick doesn't mind, he tried to make a little fun at his weight."
"He hit it dead on," Anthony Hargrove said. "With the … 'Well, you know they're gonna try and play Hargrove at the 3-technique. That'll never work."
If you climb up this coaching tree, you see Bill Parcells, perhaps the best button-pusher of a coach of all-time. Belichick's been pretty good at it too, and it's obvious that Payton's hitting the right spots with his team now.
Special thanks to Ed for passing along the quotes.

February has been a busy month - complete with a new regime of tennis lessons and practice matches, a poetry workshop, and a focused effort to walk more miles a day to get ready for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's AFSP Out of the Darkness 16-18 mile walk in May. The poetry workshop ended last week, and right now I like being off the hook to come up with another new poem. However, I very much liked the small group – there were six of us including the instructor – and the friendly but pointed critiques we gave each other on our work. To start the weekly three-hour workshop off, the instructor would give us a warm-up prompt that required us to write something – poetry or prose – in real-time and then share it with the group. One week she asked us to write down an unusual gift we've given or received. I wrote down: TisBest gift certificates I give to my nieces and nephews that enable them to make a donation to a charity of their choice. She also asked us … [Read more...]

EAST COUNTY — The major players involved in easing traffic at Interstate 75 and University Parkway pooled their commitment and sat in the same room for the first time last week.
When the delegation returned from a morning meeting in Tallahassee March 6 — some traversing the very road network they have vowed to fix — they immediately worked to fulfill a directive by Ananth Prasad, secretary of the Florida Department of Transportation.
Prasad said Sarasota and Manatee counties must commit firmly to both a diverging-diamond-style interchange to ease traffic at I-75 and University Parkway — and to improve the road network around it — by passing a formal resolution asking FDOT to build the interchange.
If the resolution succeeds, the state transportation agency vows to begin construction before the 2017 World Rowing Championships — but after the October opening of the Mall at University Town Center.
"I want a firm commitment for all the pieces of the puzzle," Prasad said. "I am looking for a holistic approach, not piecemeal, for a full network of road improvements."
Specifically, FDOT will try to raise about $60 million for accelerated construction of the interchange, with the goal to fund it within the next two years.
FDOT has said in the past that it does not have any money earmarked for the diverging-diamond interchange until after 2021.
Local officials previously were hesitant to begin construction during the 2017 World Rowing Championships at Nathan Benderson Park, for fear it would interfere.
But a recent push led by Rep. Greg Steube fast-tracked the plan.
Steube met with Prasad privately in the weeks leading to the group meeting.
The local delegation traveled to Tallahassee March 6 to join them.
The delegation included Ed Hunzeker and Thomas Harmer, county administrators from Manatee and Sarasota counties, respectively; Manatee County District 5 Commissioner Vanessa Baugh; Sarasota County Commission Chairman Charles Hines; Schroeder-Manatee Ranch CEO Rex Jensen and Vice President of Planning Todd Pokrywa; Todd Mathes, of Benderson Development; and transportation experts from both counties.
As part of its plan to build south of University Parkway, SMR, Lakewood Ranch's developer, has a large role in improving the overall road network with commitments that have been planned for years.
SMR has already committed to help fund the following road improvements:
• The continuation of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard as a four-lane roadway from its current ending at Communications Parkway to Fruitville Road;
• The continuation of Lorraine Road as a four-lane road from University Parkway to Fruitville Road; and
• The construction of an east-west connector from Lakewood Ranch Boulevard to Lorraine Road.
SMR has also pledged up to $7.5 million for a proportionate-share road project that gives Sarasota County one of two options: It can put the money toward an east-west connector overpass from SMR's planned Villages of Lakewood Ranch South project over Interstate 75 and Cattleman Road; or it can use it to build a two-lane road between Fruitville Road and Palmer Boulevard.
If the interchange plans are accelerated, construction on University could be underway during the rowing championships, an event that is expected to bring more than 42,000 travelers to the region.
To ease traffic around Nathan Benderson Park and the Mall at UTC, Benderson Development, which helped develop both projects, has made $20 million in improvements to existing roads, including the Cattleman Road extension to Fruitville Road.
Mathes, Benderson's director of development, says those roads are underutilized and will have to assume more of the load when the mall opens.
He said Cattleman Road absorbs about 2,000 cars per day today, even though it has the capacity to serve 30,000 to 40,000 per day.
"We anticipate that as the mall opens, drivers will find alternative routes," Mathes said. "You will see more cars on Cattleman Road. And, we have signage on I-75 that helps distribute drivers to that roadway."
Both counties have begun the process of writing a formal resolution that would ease the traffic load in the future.
Jim Harriott, an engineer with Sarasota County who attended the meeting in Tallahassee, expects staff to draft a resolution for commissioners to consider late this month or in early April.
"From Sarasota's side, this is no different than what we were working on before," Harriott said. "The road network has been on paper for years. Lakewood Ranch just hasn't developed south of University yet."
Harriott said Sarasota County has begun reviewing amended documents for SMR's Villages of Lakewood Ranch South.
If Sarasota commissioners approve them, it will permit SMR to begin residential construction on the 5,500-acre project located south of University Parkway and west of I-75 — and kick-start the related road improvements.
Although it has no financial stake in most of the planned road improvements, Manatee County is acting aggressively, as well.
Hunzeker traveled to Washington, D.C., last week to talk about transportation as part of an annual long-range planning discussion with the federal government.
"If the feds pushed money our way, we wouldn't turn it down," Hunzeker said. "It seems everybody involved is committed to moving this forward as soon as possible."
Diverging-diamond interchange
The Florida Department of Transportation has long planned a diverging-diamond-style configuration for the interchange at University Parkway and Interstate 75.
Different than the traditional off-ramps used in Florida, the diverging-diamond design would be the first of its kind in the state.
Transportation officials say the interchange will shorten wait time at red lights and improve safety.
Kevin Ingle, a project engineer for FDOT, previously told the East County Observer: "This is the ultimate interchange. It puts traffic on the opposite side of the road on University and eliminates two phases of the signal. Drivers won't be spending as much time at red and yellow lights. This makes it more efficient."
Todd Mathes, of Benderson Development, says he drove a diverging-diamond interchange at the Mall of America in Minnesota and others in the Midwest.
"It's a very intuitive design," Mathes said. "When you drive through one, you are just a driver on the street. It's smoother and simpler than it looks."

A big thank you for those who voted on my recent "DARE ME" poll. Voting was neck and neck between sharks and tigers right from the start. Here's the results for the dares:
No 1: Plunge into a shark tank (44% of votes)
No 2: Feed a tiger (40% of votes)
No 3: Jump off the Sky Tower (16% of votes)
Clearly, you all think that a Sky Jump is not eventful enough. And, I suppose you expect me to plunge into the shark tank when it is still winter?
Of course, I am an Eventful Woman and your wish is my command. Watch this space!

Picture: Benny Andersson of Abba 'Mamma Mia' UK premiere - arrivals held at Odeon Leicester Square London, England - 30.06.08
Film-makers have devastated Abba fans by admitting their reunion video was faked.
The Swedish DANCING QUEEN stars - who split in 1983 - have always shunned lucrative offers to reform, but thrilled music lovers in May (04) by appearing together in a film to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their win at the 1974 EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.
The sketch featured an image of the four members behind their puppet replicas, but in a later clip, members Agnetha Faltskog and FRIDA appeared together in the same shot.
But director CARL ASTRAND has confessed the whole sketch was a fake - because the singing pair were unavailable to shoot the real thing.
He says, "Frida and Agnetha's schedules meant that they could not be filmed at the same time.
"So we filmed them separately and slotted them together using our computers."09/07/2004 09:16

I've always been fascinated by jellyfish. I saw this one a winter day while I was walking by Piazza Unità (the largest European square overlooking the sea). Needless to say that, as much as I love jellyfish, if I ever see 10 pounds of jelly near me while I swim, you're going to hear my scream miles away…
San Nicolò is back!

Why See The Doppleganger?
NOT The art of the deal
A new play by Masters Of Sex writer Matthew-Lee Erlbach takes us behind the scenes, into the shady world of the deal (ahem). It's said that somewhere in the world that we all have a doppelganger, so what happens when yours is called into urgent action? Directed by Tina Landau, this farcical comedy features Steppenwolf ensemble members Alana Arenas, Gary Cole, Ora Jones, Sandra Marquez, and James Vincent Meredith in a story that takes us from one end of the world to the other!
When a wealthy British businessman is killed in an untimely accident just before the signing of a critical African copper deal, it transpires that the signees will only deal with him. So in a desperate act to keep the deal from imploding, they call in reinforcements - unfortunately this comes in the form of a hapless lookalike from the States, whose business sense is outmatched by his lack of commonsense. When he enters the negotiations, disaster erupts with the potential for a worldwide financial crisis on the cards. Who should we be supporting? Who will save the deal, and the African countries involved?

How confidential is counselling at Lifecentre?
We work within a strict Confidentiality Policy, meaning that information received from clients will not go outside the Lifecentre team.Read More
We recognise that healing from something as complex as rape or other abusive sexual acts requires a holistic approach. This can include physical, psychological, emotional, criminal and relational issues, as well as sometimes the transpersonal or spiritual. Each survivor has their own priority as to what is important to them. Lifecentre counselling and support is client led: we listen to the needs of each individual and tailor the counselling around your personal priorities and goals.
Lifecentre has a team of over 25 specialist face-to-face counsellors and play therapists. All of our counsellors have a minimum of a Diploma in Counselling and are trained in working with sexual trauma using trauma therapy techniques, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other humanistic counselling modalities. They are also trained in providing Pre-Trial Therapy and in using creative techniques within their counselling, such as different forms of art therapy. Many of our counsellors have special additional areas of expertise, such as substance misuse and addictions, bereavement counselling, mindfulness and working with learning disabilities. Our team working with children and young people have additional qualifications in Children and Young People's Counselling or are qualified play therapists. Lifecentre provides ongoing professional development and supervision for all of our counsellors and play therapists.
All of our counsellors are personally committed to helping people who have suffered sexual abuse and trauma.
You may want to talk about something that's been going on for a long time but you've been too afraid to talk about it. Or maybe it's something that has just recently happened to you. Either way, it can be a huge help to talk through your thoughts and feelings about what happened to you and to know that someone else is there for you to help you process what you experienced and move forward with your life. Whilst friends and family can be an important support, sharing your experience with them can be complicated as it can have a knock-on effect on them and your relationship with them. A counsellor can provide you with a safe, independent, non-judgmental place to work through what is important to you, without you worrying about the effects of this on your relationships.
We also offer counselling to supporters and close family members of survivors of sexual abuse and rape. If you have been affected relationally by the sexually abusive experience of someone close to you, then we can help you too.
"After I was attacked all of my relationships broke down. I was humiliated, living in fear, scared to go out. I was spending all my time at home crying with the curtains closed and doors locked. On my 22nd birthday I took steps to end my own life. Somehow I survived. I realised I needed help. Since Lifecentre, I am able to go out. I'm slowly starting to get my confidence back. I don't get as many bad dreams or sleep with a baseball bat under my pillows. I can laugh now and six weeks ago I wore a dress."

Houston, we have a bottle. Prepare for liftoff with these simple steps.
You will need
- 48" piece of 1/2-in. PVC pipe
- 2 2-liter soda bottles
- Pencil
- Round metal file
- Rubber o-ring
- Drill
- 1/4" bit
- 1/2-in. end cap
- PVC cement
- 1/2-in. PVC elbow
- Epoxy glue
- 1/4" hose barb mender
- Bicycle tire valve stem
- 1/4" inside diameter vinyl tubing
- Hose clamp for 1/4-in. tubing
- 1-in. PVC collar
- 12-in. piece of 1-in. PVC pipe
- Hacksaw
- 3 5/16" x 3" eyebolts
- Coat hanger
- 4 5' pieces of kite string
- Utility knife
- Duct tape
- Thin sheets of balsa wood
- Partner
- 3 stakes
- Hammer
- Bicycle pump
- Craft paint (optional)
Step 1 Put on the o-ring Push one end of the 1/2-inch pipe all the way in to one of the bottles. Pull it out 1/4 inch, and trace the opening of the bottle on the PVC. Remove the bottle, file a shallow groove in the pipe along the line, and slide the o-ring into the groove.
Step 2 Assemble the elbow Drill a 1/4-inch hole in the PVC end cap. Use PVC cement to fasten it into the elbow, and epoxy the hose barb mender into the hole in the end cap. Then, glue the open end of the elbow to the end of the PVC pipe opposite the o-ring.
Step 3 Prepare the tubing Epoxy the threadless side of the bicycle tire valve stem to one end of the vinyl tubing. Attach the other end of the tubing to the hose barb using the hose clamp.
Step 4 Assemble the 1-inch pieces Glue the 1-inch PVC collar to the 1-inch pipe. Use the hacksaw to cut two semi-circular notches around the collar 3/4-inch from the end. Make sure the ends of the notches are about an inch apart.
Step 5 Attach the eyebolts Drill three holes in the 1-inch collar around the end opposite the notches and screw in the bolts about a half an inch.
Step 6 Prepare the coat hanger With the hacksaw cut the bottom out of a wire coat hanger. Bend the two remaining arms down so they're parallel and about an inch apart, forming a narrow "U." Tie a piece of kite string to the hook.
Step 7 Make the rocket Cut off the bottoms of two 2-liter soda bottles and securely tape the open ends together. Keep the bottle cap on one of them. Then create the balsa wood fins. Draw and cut out three parallelograms with 5-inch sides and 4-inch ends and epoxy one of the long sides of them to the bottle with no cap.
Quick Tip:
Paint your rocket for a cool custom look.
Step 8 Assemble it Have a partner hold the 1/2-inch PVC upright so the elbow is on the ground. Slide the 1-inch PVC over the 1/2-inch PVC so the collar is pointing up. Fill the rocket 1/3 full with water and slide it onto the 1/2-inch pipe until the o-ring forms a seal with the bottle.
Step 9 Finish assembling Lift the 1-inch pipe until the collar is around the neck of the bottle. Then, put the coat hanger into the notches on the collar so it catches on the bottleneck and holds the 1-inch pipe up. Tighten the eyebolts to secure everything in place.
Step 10 Make the guide wires Tie the ends of each piece of string to an eyebolt and a stake. Then, hammer the stakes into the ground to hold the launch tube up.
Step 11 Launch it! Connect the pump to the valve stem and operate the pump to pressurize the rocket. Pull the string attached to the coat hanger to release the rocket and watch your creation soar!
