Michael Corbin was the first radio talk show host to provide Paul and I with a platform. He was the first person to appreciate our research and the potentially elucidating trajectories that we were following. He wasn't concerned with commercial profitability, novelty, or trends. He was concerned with the value of the information that he was sharing with the public. His show wasn't one endless infomercial, peddling sensationalistic videos and overpriced water filters. Instead, it was a road map for genuinely concerned activists and intellectually honest researchers. A Closer Look was a national treasure and the airwaves will be far less informative without Michael and his outstanding program. Read the rest of this entry »

Ron Argabrite is his own boss. He might be the most demanding supervisor he�s ever had.
Ron Argabrite is his own boss.
He might be the most demanding supervisor he�s ever had.
It�s late Wednesday morning and the independent distributor for Mission Foods has finished his required route. His day started at 4:30 a.m., when he awoke to get a start on rolling tortilla shells and chips into one of Gastonia�s biggest warehouse stores.
An hour later he was in Mount Holly, then back to Gastonia before another trip to Belmont. A stop by his storage building and Argabrite is rolling his truck and trailer into Target�s back parking lot. He isn�t technically on the delivery schedule for the day, but it makes sense, the Gastonia resident says, to let his stores know he�s paying attention to the products they allow him to put onto shelves.
Argabrite checks the expiration dates on the groceries he delivers. He counts the black and orange Halloween chips left on the shelf. Those have been selling well, and the distributor makes a note to restock the display the next day � the one that will start at 3:30 a.m.
The valuable real estate he�s earned at Target, a highly visible space on the end of an aisle, is precious enough to deserve an extra trip, he explains.
Working for a life
A Mission distributor for nearly four months, Argabrite gambled six years of savings to buy the route that takes him from Forest City to Belmont, with stops in Shelby, Boiling Springs, Kings Mountain, Gastonia, and Mount Holly.
He also gave up a job driving an 18-wheeler for $22 an hour with a 401(k) and benefits. For 16 years, that gig provided for his family, but Argabrite was feeling the pinch.
But the recession slowed business and recovery was slow to take shape. The 50 to 60 hours a week he was working years ago dwindled to 32.
�I was looking for something that could give my family a better way of life,� Argabrite says.
The Mission route cost him. He�s hesitant to say how much but a number of distributors will put the figure in the five-digit range.
Plus, he pays for his own storage building and transportation. The Chevy Silverado he drives guzzles around $80 worth of gas every time he stops at the pump.
He carries the justification for the risk in his wallet � a photo of his 2-year-old daughter, Karlee.
He put her in a new preschool since starting the job, and it�s one of the few topics that can divert Argabrite from his relentless praise for the product he delivers.
She has music classes now and is learning Spanish and sign language. Just saying so makes Argabrite stand a little taller while he unloads his trailer.
In short, Argabrite says, he�s making his own opportunity instead of waiting for someone to offer him one.
�I don�t have to get up in the morning and worry about not having work,� he said. �It�s up to me. If I don�t have enough customers, I can go out and find more.�
The uphill climb
Creating one�s own opportunity � making work instead of taking it � has gotten a lot of press as the U.S. struggles to recover from its financial downturn.
The numbers send mixed messages about the state of entrepreneurship in North Carolina.
Wages were up much of last year for private establishments, according to a State of Small Business and Entrepreneurship report released by the state�s Small Business Administration.
But the number of new employer businesses, as well as sole proprietorships, declined in 2011. That echoes a global trend in entrepreneurship.
Tony Marder is a local business coach with the international ActionCOACH organization. He often encounters people willing to take a risk for more freedom and independence.
That�s true of people discouraged by their chances for advancement, disillusioned by corporate culture or out of a job after a layoff.
�In certain corporations even the most functional players in the organization are getting taken out of the game,� Marder says.
Many won�t find the independence and freedom they�re seeking. About 4 percent of new companies will still be in business after a decade, according to the business coach.
The pitfall for many of them? Marder says it is getting buried by the day to day without focusing on the bigger picture, the actual entrepreneurship.
Simply working more hours isn�t enough, he insists. The successful entrepreneur is always asking how he or she can grow, attract more customers, make it easier for people to buy the product.
�What you make it�
To grow the distributorship the way he wants, Argabrite believes it takes a 7-day-a-week commitment.
That time isn�t limited to delivery for him.
When a teenager came to his door selling candy bars, Argabrite struck up a conversation about fundraisers. He�s now working on introducing his pork rinds to school groups hosting events.
When he sees someone buying a Mission soft taco shell or a jar of salsa, Argabrite makes sure to say thanks.
On weekends, he pops in on his biggest accounts just to make sure things look ship shape. He forever lobbies store managers for extra product space.
�I don�t want to be that guy who bothers everybody, but I try to be right on the edge of that guy,� he says.
Argabrite�s plan has a finish line. He hopes to grow his route large enough to split it into two � and sell the one farthest from home base.
Weekends with the family and outings with friends will come later.
�I�m not there yet,� Argabrite says. �But life is really about what you make it.
�Just like business.�

I never had much luck with "old school" bike tube patches. By old school I mean the patch kits that came with a small tube of glue to get the black patches with orange surrounding border to stick. I am a big fan of what I consider to be the new and improved "sticker" patches that you just peel off and apply.
Although I have found the sticker patches to be more effective on bike tires, they would certainly not make the grade in the style department if repurposed as a shoe patch, as demonstrated by reader Zlatan. Have you repurposed bike tire patches? Let us know so we can post!

Hope College President Dr. James E. Bultman was scheduled to retire as the 11th president of the college on June 30, 2012. The following statement is from Board of Trustees Chair Mary V. Bauman announcing that President Bultman will continue for another school year.
Hope College has been engaged in a search process since President James E. Bultman announced in May, 2011 his intention to retire. Hope's Board of Trustees during its spring meeting received a report from the Presidential Search Committee, and has concluded that the search will continue.
As this occurs, the Board celebrates President and Mrs. Bultman's willingness to continue to serve Hope with an extension for another year of Dr. Bultman's presidency. Over this time, President Bultman will concentrate upon the successfully progressing capital campaign, A Greater Hope, and also will welcome this autumn what is anticipated to be Hope's largest-ever incoming freshman class.
Hope's chair of the Board of Trustees, Mary Bauman stated, "We are thrilled – and blessed – to have President Bultman's ongoing leadership at Hope for another year. The heartfelt tribute we as the Hope community recently gave Jim and Martie demonstrates our high esteem for both. We as trustees are confident in our search process as reviewed by the Board, and look forward to another successful year in the life of the college with Jim leading us."

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – A fast break layup down the left side of court by Michael Lusk with a couple ticks on the clock to put the Bisons up by one. It almost happened in the Lipscomb University Bisons 57-56 loss against USC Upstate Monday afternoon in the Hodge Center in Spartanburg, S.C.
Instead an inadvertent whistle was blown with eight seconds left on the clock as Lusk steamed past half court with the defenders attempting to catch him.
"I told my guys that if they scored to take the ball all the way to the basket and don't call timeout because I don't want the defense to get set," Sanderson said. "So Mike's trying to drive to the basket and the guy gives me a timeout. I didn't want a timeout, but that is just part of the game."
But the Bisons should never have been in a position to let an error that they had no control over potentially affect the game's outcome.
There were two stretches where the Bisons didn't score for approximately five minutes, or hitting just five-of-ten free throws in the final six minutes. Lipscomb turned the ball over 18 times which USC Upstate converted into 22 points. Ten turnovers were unforced and the Bisons didn't score a basketball in the final 5:30.
Lipscomb began the game making four of their first nine attempts and held its largest lead of the day when they went up 15-10 on a layup by Adnan Hodzic with 10:44 left in the first.
After a layup by Thomas Pfaff put the Bisons up 19-15 with 7:42 left, the Bisons shooting went dead cold. Lipscomb missed eight straight attempts over 5:08. When Hodzic connected on a layup with 2:34 left in the half, Lipscomb found itself down 27-21.
"As soon as things don't go our way we don't have the internal leadership to come back to our guys and say let's sit down and guard somebody," Sanderson said.
Lusk connected on the second of two free throws with 1:38 left to bring the Bisons to within five. Carter Cook slashed across the lane for a layup and then nailed a three on the next possession to put the Spartans up 32-22 at the half.
"We lost the game in the last nine minutes of the first half," Sanderson said.
Lipscomb only connected on four of its final 19 shots going into halftime. The Bisons shot 28.6 percent for the period.
Lipscomb opened the second half on a 7-2 run to bring the game to five (34-29). USC Upstate called a timeout and responded with a 7-0 run over 4:42 to extend their lead to 12 (41-29). Hodzic connected on a layup with 12:36 remaining end the run.
Lipscomb went on a 12-3 run after USC Upstate 7-foot-3 center Nick Schneiders went to the bench after being whistled for his fourth foul with 11:50 left.
Josh Slater hit a 3-pointer with 8:52 remaining to give the Bisons their first lead (45-43) since the first half.
Lipscomb went up 52-47 when Hodzic nailed a layup in the paint with 5:30 left. A defensive breakdown on the opposite end gave preseason All-Atlantic Sun selection Bobby Davis a wide-open dunk.
The Spartans were carried down the stretch by Davis who scored 16 consecutive points for the Spartans in the last nine minutes until Carter Cook nailed a jumper on the left wing to put USC Upstate up one with 11 seconds left.
"We held them to 25 percent shooting in the second half," Sanderson said. "But we didn't rebound and got beat by allowing 12 offensive rebounds."
Hodzic led the Bisons with 17 points. Slater added 15. The duo has scored in double figures in each of the last four games.
Lipscomb was 14-of-20 (70 percent) at the free throw line. Slater was a perfect 7-of-7. USC Upstate was six-of-ten (60 percent) at the line.
Lipscomb held a 43-32 advantage on the boards. The Bisons grabbed 15 of the first 18 rebounds in the game. Michael Teller led Lipscomb with 8 boards. Bobby Davis led USC Upstate with 7.
Slater and Teller each had four assists.
Lipscomb shot 18-of-48 (37.5 percent) on the afternoon. USC Upstate hit 21-of-59 (35.6 percent) from the field.
Lipscomb was four-of-eight (50 percent) from the 3-point line. USC Upstate was 6-of-20 (30 percent). The Spartans were 1-of-11 in the second half.
The Bisons at 6-11, 2-6 Atlantic Sun, have now lost five in a row. USC Upstate is 3-14, 2-6 in the Atlantic Sun.
"I feel bad for my guys," Sanderson said. "If they weren't fighting and scratching and clawing for everything it would be different. But they are and our people should be proud the way they are fighting through adversity. We have to learn how to close out games"
Lipscomb falls to 6-11, 2-6 in the Atlantic Sun. USC Upstate is 3-14, 2-6 in the Atlantic Sun.
The Bisons are back in action Saturday afternoon in Allen Arena against Mercer. Game time is 4:15 p.m. as part of a doubleheader with the Lady Bisons.
Benjamin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network. Free online audio streaming is available at www.LipscombSports.com/sportsnetwork/. The game can also be seen on ASun.TV.

Just before Christmas I put in two fabric orders from the US, my last big orders for a while, what with me being on a fabric diet and all. Timely too, though this was before I heard about the very steep price increase on flat rate envelopes from $16.95 to $23.95! Sheesh!
I had been eyeing off Ann Kelle's Remix Ovals for a while, and decided to grab them when they were on sale. The colours are just so beautiful and this is totally one of my kind of prints.
In the interest of filling a bag I also added a bundle of Alison Glass's Lucky Penny Bike Path. These are colours I wouldn't normally choose, but I am trying to diversify my stash a little further and I really love the fall colours.
Also in the mail this week were a couple of parcels from the destash page I should avoid - two scrap bags that contained lots of great quilting cottons and some vintage sheet goodness, and also a ribbon scrap bag, which is just heavenly. I spent a good bit of time pressing and sorting the fabric, and winding the ribbon, and in all that I forgot to take any photos. Duh.
As I'd hoped, a few of my Bike Path and Pearl Bracelet prints go nicely with my Domestic Bliss bundle, so they've been added to that pile.
I've finally got my act together and I'm selling some fabric on the abovementioned destash page. I am trying to be a bit ruthless, particularly with dressmaking fabrics. There is much craft room organising happening at the moment.
Linking up to Fiona's Sunday Stash, which is over with Audrey at Hot Pink Quilts this week.

Bureau d'études are a Paris-based conceptual art group founded in 1998 by Léonore Bonaccini and Xavier Fourt. They produce maps that depict relationships and ownership ties between, for example, transnational organisations or the European Union. The maps typically reveal links between think tanks, financial firms, regulatory bodies, intelligence agencies, media groups, networks of consumer distribution, weapon makers, and satellite companies. Other maps explore anarchist positions, dissident knowledge producers, squats, and charts that relate to various forms of non-capitalist exchange. In their practice, knowledge becomes inherently political and the question of access to knowledge becomes paramount.
They collaborate with the unemployed, squatter communities and the sans papiers [undocumented migrants] through their self-organised space in Strasbourg, the Syndicat Potentiel, which operates within a 'free economy', as well as the Université Tangente which is a project for autonomous knowledge production. These projects were set up in frustration with the art world in order to produce and disseminate work collectively, outside the institutional space of the art gallery.
Bureau d'etudes' collaborations with the critic Brian Holmes have produced an ongoing discourse on the possibilities of using cartography as part of social movements. Holmes describes their maps as 'subjective shocks' that through showing a totalitarian vision also highlight its weaknesses. To this end, Bureau d'etudes give free access to highly specialised knowledge by producing their maps cheaply in large print runs for specific activist events, such as the European Social Forum and the No Border camp. Their maps can therefore be seen as tools of spatial agency, promoting an understanding of the highly complex workings of advanced capitalism, a necessary step towards imagining a counter-position and effective resistance. They have influenced a growing number of artists, architects and geographers who are exploring the potential of mapping as an emancipatory tool, including Hackitectura and Counter Cartographies Collective, amongst others.

After 2012 redistricting that eliminated the three seats and a turbulent 2012 primary election season last August, incumbents Mike Kernell and Jeanne Richardson in the House and Beverly Marrero in the Senate did not return as the House and Senate were gaveled to order for the new session.
Each was defeated in the August primaries by fellow Democratic incumbents paired with them in the same districts as a result of the once-a-decade redrawing of district lines.
The delegation now numbers 19 – 14 House members and five senators. Of those, 12 are Democrats and seven are Republicans.
Democratic state Sen. Reginald Tate of Memphis was elected chairman of the Shelby County delegation and Democratic state Rep. Antonio Parkinson of Memphis was elected vice chairman. Republican state Rep. Jim Coley is secretary of the delegation.
Memphian David Lillard was re-elected by both chambers as state treasurer and Tre Hargett of Bartlett returns as secretary of state.
In the House, the highest-ranking Shelby County legislator in a leadership position is Memphis Democrat Joe Towns, who is assistant Democratic leader. Barbara Cooper is Democratic caucus secretary and Lois DeBerry is Democratic floor leader.
In the Senate, Collierville Republican Mark Norris remains majority leader and Memphis Democrat Jim Kyle is minority leader.
After he was re-elected lieutenant governor and speaker of the senate on opening day, Ron Ramsey vowed to continue the practice of the last two legislative sessions of ending on time.
"We plan to continue that tradition," Ramsey said. "The days of legislative sessions dragging into May and beyond are over."
The legislature is restricted by its own rules to 90 legislative days per session. Each session is two years in length. The organizational session at the start of each two-year session can be up to 15 days and does not count toward the 90 day total. The legislative days are scheduled for three days of the week.
Theoretically a longer first year of the two-year session would mean a shorter second year or election year session.
Going over the 90-day limit doesn't affect the base pay of $19,000 legislators receive but it does mean an end to expense payments at a per diem of $171 per legislative day.
Norris carries legislation in the Senate for the administration of Gov. Bill Haslam and much of that legislation in the coming session will involve education policy.
Meanwhile, lobbyists for the countywide school board have told the board to expect "comprehensive legislation" in Nashville on charter schools this year.
The bill that is to deal with such complex issues as administrative fees, access to surplus or underutilized schools and multiple authorizers of the charters won't be offered by the Haslam administration, according to lobbyist Tony Thompson.
"My understanding is some people in leadership positions have asked others to take a look at all issues surrounding charter schools," he told school board members.
"Why would they want to take that power away from hundreds of local elected officials across the state like yourself and the accountability that goes with that?" Thompson asked the Shelby County school board members. "It's clearly an issue we'll have to deal with this session."
Germantown Republican Brian Kelsey is likely to be the Senate sponsor of school voucher legislation that Haslam has indicated will be a priority this year although he probably won't be sending the bill to Capitol Hill.
For several years, Kelsey has sponsored a variety of school voucher bills.
A task force appointed by Haslam in 2011 that included Kelsey and former Memphis Catholic Schools superintendent Mary McDonald recommended in November that private schools be required to accept the vouchers as payment in full for tuition with no option to charge for additional tuition.
The task force also raised the possibility of permitting public and private schools to accept vouchers across public school district lines.
But the group made no recommendation on whether the funding that follows a child with a voucher should be the state share of Basic Education Program funding only or the state share and the local funding match.
Haslam has said he believes there should be income qualifications for the vouchers to make them available to children from low-income families and that the state should move into the use of vouchers in a broader way than a pilot program.

As far as Chantay M. Boxill is concerned, people who get tattoos on their faces should have them read, "I never want to work at a real job."
As far as Chantay M. Boxill is concerned, people who get tattoos on their faces should have them read, "I never want to work at a real job."
She knows of a second-grader who has one. His parents belong to a street gang.
Boxill is a Columbus police sergeant and in charge of the Columbus Division of Police's criminal intelligence unit, which investigates, among other things, the activities of gangs. She was the guest speaker last week at a monthly meeting of Block Watch coordinators from the Northland area -- and she pulled no punches.
"We have every race, color, whatever you want to call it, involved in gang activity in the city of Columbus," Boxill said. "The best thing about Columbus is it's so spread out, and the worst thing about Columbus is it's so spread out, it's hard for us to keep a handle on this.
"Gangs are everywhere -- everywhere."
And not just in the city, she added. Increasingly, her unit gets calls from Reynoldsburg, Pickerington and Grove City for advice on handling gang issues.
Nationally, violent crime and property-crime rates have declined dramatically over the past decade, according to the April 2012 fact sheet highlighting the 2010 National Youth Gang Survey by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
However, the continued presence of gangs and the associated violence and serious crime is an "enduring concern" in many areas, the fact sheet said, adding that, despite the overall decline in crime, gang violence continues at high levels in some cities.
Boxill, who joined the department on Christmas Eve 1989, began her presentation by showing video shot on a cellphone of people arranging a street fight between two teenage girls.
"This happens all the time," she said as the two girls, egged on by bystanders, began brawling, then two others started exchanging punches. "We're actually seeing more and more of this because everybody's videotaping everything.
"Needless to say, no one called the police."
The video was not supplied by a confidential informant; division personnel got it off YouTube.
"Type Columbus fights on YouTube," Boxill said. "You will see so many things."
The Columbus police gangs unit was created in 1996 in response to a then-new state law dealing with street gangs, Boxill said. Since then, about 1,900 gang members have been documented in around 88 "gang sets," although Boxill said she thinks the number is closer to 100 groups today.
The members range in age from preteens, or "little knuckleheads," as she calls them, to men in their mid-40s.
A report completed a few years ago when Walter Distelzweig was chief of police in Columbus estimated 0.00017 percent of the city's population belongs to gangs, yet since 2005, gang members have been involved in 20 percent to 25 percent of all homicides, Boxill said.
"That's a lot of involvement," she added, and it doesn't include felonious assaults, robberies or burglaries, other crimes often associated with street gangs.
The FBI has labeled street gangs "domestic terrorists," she said.
"These are actually some very smart kids, but they don't use their brains for anything good," Boxill added.
Four factors are used by the Columbus Division of Police to define a group of people as belonging to a gang, Boxill said:
* They have recurrent interactions on a regular basis.
* The organization has a structure and leadership, although this is not as true as it used to be for gangs.
* They have unity and signs of that unity, such as symbols or colors or specific clothing.
So far, Sgt. Boxill pointed out, that could describe the Boy Scouts, the U.S. Army or a police department. The fourth factor, criminal activity, is the crucial one, she said.
"It's the pattern of criminal activity that makes you an illegal gang member," Boxill said. "You don't pique our interest until you get involved in criminal gang activity."

Laurie Lambrecht sent me this link today
to a wonderful tribute in The Art Newspaper from Andreas Gursky to his mentor Bernd Becher who recently passed away.
It reminds me of how important our time with mentors is. Next week I will travel to Minneapolis to be present at the memorial honoring Carroll T. "Ted" Hartwell, long-time curator of photography at The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and in early October to NYC for the memorial honoring John Szarkowski, long-time curator at MoMA. Do not understimate the value of our wise elders, and treasure the time you have with them.

Heart of Recovery
Heart of Recovery
There is no cost and no meditation experience is necessary
The meeting is open to everyone
Heart of Recovery meetings are weekly on Sundays and Thursdays
Sundays - Fort Collins Shambhala Meditation Center, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
126 A. West Mountain Ave. Down the Alley next to Enzio's, then left. Or across from the S.E corner of the Parking Garage on Mason. Doors need to be locked at 7:15. Ring doorbell if you are late.
Thursdays – Plymouth Congregational Church, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
916 West Prospect. Go through the double doors facing east, off the main parking lot. Go straight then turn right and go all the way down the corridor to the double doors into the North Room. There are metal folding chairs, so bring a chair cushion if you wish. You are welcome to bring a meditation cushion if you wish.
Heart of Recovery is a weekly meeting that joins Buddhist meditation, and 12-step work in order to connect to and engage in a commitment to recovery from addiction, addictive behaviors and patterns in our lives. This gathering is not associated with any 12-step program, and is not intended to replace a 12-step program.
We provide basic meditation instruction, group meditation, and work with a twelve step, Buddhist/spiritual understanding of recovery.
Our format begins with introductions; a brief instruction on meditation, followed by a 15 – 20 - minute sitting. The group leader will then share a brief reading. The floor will be open for sharing and discussion for around 45 minutes. We recognize that the anonymity and confidentiality of who is present here and what is said here, are essential principals to respect.
Recovery: "Sobriety is finding a new way of living that involves engagement where there was withdrawal; Generosity where there was self-centeredness; Community where there was isolation; Joy where there was bitterness; Trust where there was cynicism." Kevin Griffin, One Breath at a Time

Take a walk back in the past at the Old Injune Cemetery that contains graves from 1930 to 1976. Locals have rebuilt the fence (a work of craftsmanship) as it would be been in the 1930's. Headstones made from local sandstone have been carved and placed on previously unnamed graves.
Call into the Injune Visitor Information Centre and collect a booklet on the history of the people buried there.

KU Relays events move due to weather, not security
A Kansas Relay official says it's unlikely extra security will be hired to work the track and field showcase this week in Lawrence.
Meet director Milan Donley says Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon makes relay officials aware that anything can happen at any time. But he says he doesn't think extra security will be added.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports spectators entering any event at Memorial Stadium on the university campus have had their backpacks and belongings searched since the Sept. 11 attacks.
The weather, not security concerns, will move two popular events from downtown Lawrence to the Douglas County Fairgrounds livestock arena. A forecast of heavy rains and cold will move the men's shot put to the arena Wednesday and the women's long jump on Thursday.

SAD or just sad?
Everyone feels a little melancholy when the days are short and cold. For some people, seasonal change brings with it something more serious than the blues: seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a form of depression that can be debilitating.
And daylight savings time may not help, since darker mornings—in the fall or spring—are particularlydifficult for those with SAD.
Mild forms of SAD are believed to affect as many as 20% of people in the United States. If you think you might be one of them, view this slideshow to learn more about the signs of this disorder.


text: DERBY - The Derby Select Board decided not to ask voters at Town Meeting about their opinion on wind turbines within the town. Instead, the board will wait and see what the legislature does and possibly mail out a survey to all taxpayers at a future date. The legislature is considering a moratorium on further industrial wind development.Monday, at the select board's regular meeting, the conversation with the public remained somewhat mild, but accusations of impropriety among Derby officials emerged. Residents Vicky Farrand-Lewis and Glenda Nye said that some of the actions by town leaders have the appearance of being improper. At its last meeting, the planning commission voted on language to be put to the voters about wind turbines and to recommend that the select board approve a warning using that language. The planning commission cannot put anything on the ballot without the select board's approval. The discussion came under other business and was not a warned agenda item.For more on this story, see Wednesday's Newport Daily Express for Jan. 23, 2013.

World's most extraordinary hotels
By Katia Hetter, CNN • Updated 19th February 2014

10 Pictures
They're not always the most popular or conventional hotels. And that's exactly what
Lonely Planet
is going for with its inaugural picks for the world's best accommodations.
The travel publisher's panel of experts chose their top 10 in each of three categories: "most extraordinary places to stay," "best-value accommodations" and "top eco retreats" for its list of top hotels. Some are unique, out-of-the-way spots while others are more well-known.
Picks run the gamut from trendy hostels to luxury eco-lodges. Check out Lonely Planet's recommendations in the "extraordinary" category above and see whether you agree.
"This collection is one-of-a-kind, carefully curated by the most well-traveled people on Earth," said Tom Hall, LonelyPlanet.com editorial director, in a press statement. "Our authors provide their honest opinion and never take freebies in exchange for positive coverage, so you can trust our reviews."

Listen to Chris talk about his childhood interest in natural and ancient history.More about Childhood
Chris is a leading researcher in the study of human evolution, particularly the ancient human occupation of Britain. He has regularly conducted fieldwork to enhance the collection through new found material, and considers this one of the most exciting aspects of his work. Sometimes, leads can result in very different finds to those originally expected, which you may learn more about in the clip Fieldwork: Bacon Hole cave.
It was a school project on Neanderthals that sparked Chris's life-long interest in human evolution. Though he had imagined a career for himself in medicine, everything changed when a university prospectus fell open on the page for anthropology courses. In first coming to the Museum, he even found himself a topic of study, when his long haircut and fashionable clothes proved him to be a subject of speculation!
Listen to Chris talk about his childhood interest in natural and ancient history.

Hello! My name is marzia, I joined in today althought i've been reading justbento.com for a while, to share ideas, have fun with you all and take part in the Bento Challenge! I studied Japanese at university and I love Japanese culture and food. I was not very fond of cooking until I was diagnosed with celiac desease...I had to start following a gluten free diet and - of course - learn how to cook! I bring my home-made lunch everyday at work, and the Japanese bento is a colorful and healthy way to keep up with the diet.
ciao e benvenuto! Io sono il danese, e cresciuto in Italia a quattro anni. L'Italia dove è stato forgiato il mio cuore :-) Sadly, I have forgotten so much of the beautiful language, but I feel so lucky to have started my life there as a little girl.
Anyhow, good luck & continued fun with bento :-)
Grazie mille!!! thank you so much for your welcome greetings :-) if you decide to take up the language again, I'm here as pen friend if it can be of help!
I'm from Italy as well :)
Hello, and welcome to the forum.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Buon giorno! I haven't studied Italian in about 10 years so I think that's all I remember *g*
I also avoid gluten (mostly - only intolerant not celiac) so we can look at each others bentos for ideas! Which is great because I'm in a rut currently.
:-) thank you!!!
One of my goals of week 5 and weeks to come was to take a more active part in the forum, meet you there!

Gaston's blast was the lone LHS hit in the win.
Senior hurler Erin Walker worked seven innings and faced 25 batters and posted six strikeouts. She allowed a double and a walk.

Since Jude was home we decided that I would take Emily to her Miss Texas Teen USA competition in Houston. She had trained for it for a year and it was only fair to get her there. On Friday at 2pm I dropped her off to her chaperon. She then checked into her hotel room with her roommate and learned what their schedule would be. I didn't see Emily again until the next morning at 8am when they did a "swimwear preview" of all 101 contestants. Emily looked a little nervous her first time out on the stage (it's a BIG stage), but I was SO proud of her. I am also very glad they did the preview because it gave each girl a chance to get accustomed to the stage prior to competition.
After the 8am show the parents were on their own until 7pm that night. The girls went to interview and 5 hours rehearsals for the big 7pm prelim show. I must say I thought Emily looked very pretty going into interview.
So the 7pm show was GREAT! They did a parade of cities, then they competed in swimwear, and then evening gown. I was so proud of my little 14 year old. She really held her own against all the big girls. I think you can tell from her smile that she was having a great time and loved it
The next day we didn't get to see the girls until 1pm. It was the final show and they put on a full Miss USA type production. I was SO impressed. They did full dance number (Emily's favorite part) and then they called the top 15. Let me state we KNEW Emily would not be in the top 15 this year. I love my child and I have confidence in her, but honestly she didn't need to win this year. She was there learning the ropes and is still to young to take on the job of Miss Texas Teen USA. They won't generally pick anyone under 16 because it truly is a job. So Emily was not disappointed because she knew she was there to learn. After the competition I asked her "Do you want to do this again?". She was quite for a minute and then said "I am very tired and it's exhausting, but I know it will just get easier each year I do this". So I asked her "well you need to ask yourself do you really want to be Miss Texas Teen USA someday" and she said "Mom I want that job more than you will ever know!! I want to work hard, practice, and learn more so I can get the title someday". However, Em's weekend was not without some stress. She seemed VERY upset Saturday night after competition and this worried me. I finally got it out of her that she accidentally stepped on another girls dress twice coming off stage. This happens... especially with trains! Well I guess the other girl turned around and said "just watch where you are going" and it hurt Emily's feelings. She felt she sabotaged the other girl when it was just an accident. On top of that her roommate had friends there competing and Emily didn't know anyone so she was a bit lonely.........and left in a room by herself. So I explained to her that this was a lesson that it's okay to be alone sometimes and that if you want friends..........go out and make them! Be outgoing and don't be afraid to meet people. I also told her that accidents happen and not to let it get to her.
So overall it was a GREAT .......... but tiring weekend. I am so proud of her and the lessons she learned! On the way home she talked non stop about the people she met, her future goals, the dress she wants, and more. I am glad we went. She also met some people that are local and can help her move forward. I am also SO thankful that Gina flew into Houston to stay with me. I would have been so lost without her. I am also grateful for Carolyn, Kaylee, Lily, Cara, Kendall, Emily's dad, and Emily's grandparents for attending. Her grandparents even said "we will be here every year that she participates!". Made Em and I feel great.
So now we rest for awhile! :)

What is Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool?
We exist to help families homeschool. We enable families to homeschool who thought they couldn't because of a lack of finances, a lack of time, or a lack of know-how. Others join EP just because it's easy and fun and they're confident of the quality of education. EP seeks to free families from the burden of pursuing the "perfect" and encourages them to let it be "enough." Each family and each child is different and we seek to provide the resources to enable your family to be who you were meant to be.
In 2011, I (Lee Giles) began putting my children's assignments online so that they could work independently and so that I had the assignments saved for their younger siblings. I also wrote it from the beginning to be able to be used by other families. EP grade levels and individual courses include 180 days of homeschool lessons and assignments. It covers reading, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, math, history/social studies/geography, science, Spanish, Bible, computer, music, art, PE/health, and logic. It uses only free materials found on the internet.
This site holds preschool (getting ready 1), kindergarten (getting ready 2), and first through eighth. (We have a separate high school site.) Grade levels include all of the English, math, computer and logic. The other subjects are combined into "program years" so that all of your children can study the same topic at the same time. Year 1's theme is ancient history and biology. Year 2 has early American history and zoology for the theme. Year 3 is earth science and geography and cultures as the theme. Year 4's theme is modern history, physics and chemistry.
Your child just goes to Day 1 on his or her level (found in the sidebar) and starts clicking through the assignments! That's all!
And yes, it's all free. You'll need paper, pencil, etc. and some minor supplies if you choose to do the experiments and art projects, but all of the reading materials, etc. are all free and online. We do offer offline courses for math, reading, and language arts, which you can find in our store.
My hope is to enable families to continue homeschooling no matter their life circumstances. A sister site, All-in-One Highschool, holds the high school courses.
You can read more about the curriculum on the About and How To pages. You can also see if your questions have been answered on the FAQ page.
Note: EP is not an online school. We are a homeschool resource. Your home is the school! You are the administrator. We're just here to help you on your way.

'Predatory' pervert jailed after making girl, 13, pregnant
A "PREDATORY" 22-year-old man who has a history of stealing has been jailed after he made a 13-year-old girl pregnant and later sparked a police hunt when he ran away with her.
Oliver Fearnall, of Meadow Walk, Droitwich, first met the girl shortly after her 13th birthday, Worcester Crown Court was told. He went with her to a funfair in Stourport and gave her drinks of vodka, white wine and lemonade until she passed out, Michael Aspinall, prosecuting, told the court.
She woke up in a stranger's house in Kidderminster with "love bites" all over her neck, Mr Aspinall said.
She did not see Fearnall again until he asked to be her friend on facebook using a false name. She accepted and she then realised it was him. They developed a relationship on the internet and she met him in a flat above an abandoned shop in Kidderminster, where they had sex on three occasions, Mr Aspinall said.
The girl became pregnant and told her mother, who called police. She had a termination to end the pregnancy, Mr Aspinall said.
In October last year, they got in contact again and agreed to run away together, travelling to Lichfield in Staffordshire and going missing for two to three days. While the girl was sleeping on a park bench, Fearnall decided what he had done was wrong and ensured he could be picked up on CCTV walking around the town and allowing police looking for them to find him.
Miss Diljit Bachada, defending, said a psychiatric report showed Fearnall had mental health issues but they were not serious enough for him to be in a hospital. She said he had the maturity of a 14 or 15-year-old boy.
Judge Abbas Mithani, QC, said Fearnall had exploited a vulnerable child.
"She might not realise now the effect this has had on her but when she does realise how she has been abused she might never overcome the psychological damage," he told Fearnall.
The fact that she had become pregnant made it even more damaging, the judge told him and it would have been even more serious if they had had sex after he ran off with her.
This type of "predatory" offending rightly caused the revulsion of the public and could only be met with a jail term, he said.
Fearnall pleaded guilty to three charges of sexual activity with a child and was given three years and eight months concurrent on each count. He also pleaded guilty to child abduction and was given a 12-month consecutive sentence, making a total of four years and eight months.
He was also given a sexual offences prevention order banning him from working with children until further order and will have to give notification as a sex offender indefinitely.

"What is it?" Kelly Charles asked as he walked to his job as a custodian in downtown Los Angeles and gazed up at a rather odd construction project. "A roller coaster?"
As I wandered the neighborhood, other guesses were:
A ski jump.
A toboggan run.
A water slide.
What's got everyone talking is the odd-looking tower that rises 140 feet above the 101 Freeway, directly across from the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. The futuristic metallic edifice, with a wraparound spiral Dr. Seuss would love, is not part of a theme park. It is the signature adornment on a new arts-oriented public high school that will cost roughly $230 million.
That's far more than the going rate for a more conventional school, but district officials argue that they already owned the site of the former L.A. Unified headquarters. Sure, but aren't these tough times for public schools? Aren't school districts facing huge cuts? Aren't many aging schools in disrepair?
You have to wonder how this will sit with parents who are being asked to contribute several hundred dollars per student to cover programs and staff members that tax dollars used to fund.
David Tokofsky, a former school board member, said he isn't opposed to a bit of a flair on an arts-oriented campus. But given all the budget problems -- not to mention the flailing administration of L.A. Supt. and Navy Adm. David L. Brewer -- the project "just looks like an absurdity," in Tokofsky's words.
Personally, I thought the big log flume was the latest improvement on the disastrous employee payroll system in L.A. Unified. Weekly pay could be sent down the chutes to teachers below, and whatever cash doesn't blow over Chinatown or fly into Cardinal Roger M. Mahony's belfry could be pocketed by teachers.
Come to think of it, stringing a tightrope from the school tower to the cathedral wouldn't be a bad idea. Priests and administrators accused of wrongdoing or coverups could creep across the treacherous divide. Those who land safely in the cathedral's reflecting pool shall be considered saved.
Tokofsky said he likes thinking of the school as the admiral's ark, since Brewer seems to be collecting two of everything as his administration takes on water.
"He's got two superintendents now," Tokofsky said, counting Brewer and the recent hire of ex-superintendent Ramon Cortines, who seems to be taking the tiller while Admiral Aloof re-reads his tattered copy of the book "Good to Great."
"And he's got two general counsels," Tokofsky went on.
We've got two school districts too, I said, if you count the mini-district Brewer spun off to L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. And there also seem to be at least two consulting contracts for every problem.
In defense of Brewer, whose name is on a project sign that says "Your School Bond Funds at Work," Arts High was cooked up long before he arrived on the scene.
In fact, The Times reported in 2003 that an ordinary high school with a no-frills budget was being planned until philanthropist Eli Broad lobbied school officials to "redesign the Grand Avenue campus into an elaborate visual and performing arts school" with "a soaring tower." The Times went on to say that it would "cost taxpayers at least $18 million extra and delay construction by a year."
The Times reported that Broad had a behind-the-scenes role in the redesign and the selection of an Austrian architectural firm, and our crack team of reporters noted that the snazzy new high school would nicely complement the Grand Avenue revival that was one of Broad's babies.
Broad denied exerting undue influence over the use of public funds back then, saying he was only trying to help the district build a marquee campus. But the cost of the project has gone from $30 million in 2001 for the standard-issue high school to roughly $200 million more for the new-and-improved version seven years later. The tower rises from a 950-seat performing arts theater, and this part of the project alone is priced at $49 million.
I got a tour of the site Friday morning, with school district officials and architect Karolin Schmidbaur serving as my escorts. The tower calls out and engages the city, Schmidbaur said, asking students and adults to indulge their imaginations.
"It's a symbol," she said, "for dynamic thinking."
If that's the case, I suggest they use the box at the top of the tower as Brewer's new office. Maybe a bird will fly by and tell Admiral Aloof that his job is to educate 700,000 children as if each were his own. That means he's got to inspire teachers, torpedo the deadwood and smack down anyone who stands in his way.
Speaking of the tower, my escorts all seemed to think it would be a good idea for me to climb the rickety staircase to the top. It made me wonder if Mahony was in on a deal to have them push me down the chute and straight into the tomb he's reserving for me in the cathedral catacombs.
The view's not bad up there and, to be honest, the artist's renderings of the arts high school don't look bad. When the school opens in fall of 2009, whether you love or hate the look of it, you're going to talk about it, especially when night falls and it's lit like a beacon.
I don't dismiss the value of investing in a school as a work of public art -- even if it's just a bathtub short of looking like the board game Mouse Trap.
But given the district's budget problems and the extreme needs of roughly 700,000 students, most of whom are poor enough to qualify for reduced-price lunches, a pricey jewel in the glittering Grand Avenue necklace is a badly timed extravagance.
I think I came up with a solution, though, while standing 140 feet off the ground and doing some dynamic thinking of my own.
Can you hear me out there, Mr. Broad?
Reach for the checkbook, pal. At the very least, I'm asking $49 million for the roller coaster.
Or come up with $230 million and we'll call it Eli High.

The year 2010 was a stellar one for Spain. And not just their FIFA World Cup-winning men.
In 2009 Spain had reached the UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship final only to suffer a crushing 7-0 loss to Germany. The Spanish recovered, though, and made it to Nyon the following year, having picked up a 21-0 win against Armenia in the first qualifying round.
Making her competitive debut in that game was goalkeeper Dolores Gallardo, and although she did not start the other two matches at that stage, by the second qualifying round she was first choice and conceded only once in three matches as Spain earned their finals place.
It was in Nyon that 'Lola' really shone, though. She helped Spain to a 3-0 semi-final defeat of the Netherlands, following which the Republic of Ireland stunned Germany in the other semi. So it was Ireland that Spain faced in the final and Gallardo, already excellent in the 0-0 draw over 100 minutes, then saved her first two penalties in the shoot-out, which her side won 4-1.
"The key to penalties is to be absolutely focused on what you are doing, to decide exactly which way you are going to go, and then not to change your mind," Gallardo told UEFA.com, having ultimately conceded just once in 489 minutes of action during Spain's run.
Her memorable year did not end there as she travelled to Trinidad and Tobago for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup and played a key role in Spain achieving third place – Gallardo was awarded the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper, matching Iker Casillas's achievement in South Africa earlier that summer.
Dolores, who models herself on Villarreal CF's Diego López, was actually discovered by her first club, Sevilla FC, playing for a boys' team. She is now a prized asset in the women's game and after travelling to the 2011 U19 finals with the Spain squad, left Sevilla for Sporting de Huelva. Her agility, reflexes and personality have already won her honours and there should be more to come.

Caroma® Sponsors Online AIA Continuing Education Course
Surrey, British Columbia – As the worldwide leader in high efficiency dual flush toilets for commercial and residential use, Caroma is now sponsoring the new AIA Continuing Education course titled Evolution of High Efficiency Dual-Flush Toilets, MaP, and LEED. Provided by GreenCE, Inc. through their website www.greence.com, the free online course focuses on the history, future and current marketplace trends in toilet technologies with a focus on high efficiency dual flush toilets.
After completing the course, professionals will be able to compare and contrast Siphonic and Washdown technologies, explain MaP (Maximum Performance) Testing and describe how WaterSense HET dual flush toilets contribute toward projects earning LEED certification. The course also provides insight on WaterSense product labeling and HET requirements, accompanied by studies utilizing dual flush installations showing improved performance and substantial water savings.
"Caroma is proud to be the sponsor for this AIA Continuing Education course," said Derek Kirkpatrick, Caroma North America General Manager. "Educating architects, designers and plumbing professionals on the advantages of high efficiency bathroom and toilet technologies is yet another example of our commitment to building a sustainable future."
Beginning with the worldwide introduction of the two-button dual flush toilet system in 1982, Caroma has been known for developing breakthrough bathroom technologies to support water conservation. Since the introduction of the 1.6 / 0.8 gallon (6 / 3 liters) dual flush system in 1993, Caroma has been considered the global leader in reduced flush technology. Unlike low-flow toilets first introduced to the US market, Caroma toilets are high-performance, and environmentally responsible. Committed to water conservation technologies for 70 years and remaining dedicated to promoting sustainability, Caroma continues to collaborate with high profile environmental organizations such as Global Green and the EPA.
