Mighty glaciers shaped Norway's epic landscapes, carving long, deep fjords to create a world of extraordinary beauty, with soaring, glaciated peaks and sheer rock walls dropping straight to the sea. We've created a truly original hiking journey as striking as this magnificent land, exploring deep into one of the most breathtaking settings on the planet. We travel along majestic Sognefjord, one of nature's grand-scale wonders, discover lush Hardangerfjord, with its lacy waterfalls, apple orchards, and ancient farmsteads, and head out each day for wonderful hikes to high ridgetops, across snowfields to see the blue ice of a glacier, and to historic villages nestled between mountain and fjord. Our cultural discoveries are a treat, too, as we visit family farms and enjoy Norwegian cuisine fresh with ingredients from its fields and coasts.

Days 1-4
Bergen / Mt. Floyen / Sognefjord / Hardangerfjord / Ulvik
From Bergen's historic waterfront, a spectacular funicular ride brings us to the top of Mt. Floyen, and we ferry through vast Sognefjord, with its 3,000-foot-high walls, to reach the isolated village of Flam. Our ridgetop hike across high farmlands grants us superb views across Hardangerfjord, with its 3,000-foot rock walls. From Ulvik, nestled on the shores, we hike through enchanting orchards to a family-run cider farm for lunch and a tasting.
Days 5-6
Eidfjord / Lofthus
Surrounded by mountains and sea, we boat to Lofthus, picturesquely set along the fjords, and either hike to a waterfall or go for a paddle by kayak. The next day, we visit Lofthus' stone church, dating to 1250 AD, and the cottage of the Bergen-born Edvard Grieg, who composed his Holberg Suite in this village. Following in Grieg's footsteps, we hike along the Opo River to two towering waterfalls. Our lodging is in a fifth generation family-run hotel right at water's edge.
Days 7-8
Utne / Folgefonna Glacier
Hike En route to Utne, one of the prettiest towns on Hardangerfjord, we hike along the Kinso River to the riveting sight of two waterfalls with a tranquil river flowing between them. The next day, we hike across blue ice and into fantastic ice caverns at the Folgefonna Glacier, with views atop the glacier stretching over the Hardangerfjord.
Days 9-10
Hardanger Folk Museum / Bergen
We visit the renowned Hardanger Folk Museum, then journey back to Bergen, stopping for a delicious lunch mid-fjord at a "floating" salmon farm. Depart via Bergen on Day 10.

What the Trip is Like
This trip is Level 3, Moderate to Strenuous. It features daily hikes and hotel accommodations throughout. One of the great features of this trip is how it takes advantage of Norway's excellent trains and ferries to get around. This is a wonderful way to be immersed in Norwegian culture, and the route by train or ferry is usually far more direct—we want to save you from too many long drives! This means that you often will be moving your own bags on and off the ferries and trains, and for the short distance between the ferry landings and our hotels (not more than 100 feet). We suggest you limit your baggage to one medium-sized rolling suitcase and a daypack. Any extra luggage can be left at our hotel in Bergen for your return at the end of our adventure.
Most hiking is below 2,000 feet in elevation on good trails over mountainous terrain. The hikes are mostly moderate, sometimes over terrain that can be damp, and there are some short but steep sections. Day 8 includes a 2-hour walk across snowfields with either snowshoes or crampons. No prior experience is needed for this, and it is not technical in any way. Each day you will carry just a daypack with the essentials: camera, water bottle, rain gear, and your packed lunch. Sturdy, well-broken-in hiking boots are essential. Hiking poles are highly recommended. For your own enjoyment, we recommend you make a special effort to be in good physical condition. Daily brisk walking and/or regular hiking (or using a stair-climbing machine at your gym) are excellent preparatory exercises.
On many days, we will be making our lunches at the hotel's breakfast buffet. This is a tradition for hikers in Norway, and the extensive breakfast buffets include great breads, tomatoes, smoked salmon (of course!), cheeses, fresh fruit, and more. We will have paid for this ahead of time, and the hotel provides lunch bags. Dinners are hearty local fare, including a lot of fresh fish. Many of our dinners are buffet-style at our hotels, and this is often the only option in smaller fjord-side villages. Vegetarian options are not always available. Please note that in Europe, the dinner hour is considerably later than it is in the U.S. We do our best to secure early reservations for our groups, but most often the evening meal will be at 7:30 pm.

Hiking Norway's Fjord Country

I could save more money if I:
– Mowed my own lawn. Every two weeks, I pay someone to cut what is a fairly small yard. I'll admit I'm a bit stubborn in this area. Growing up, I earned extra money by cutting grass during the summer. At home, my brother and I shard the yard duties, which were fairly significant since we had a huge yard. I vowed I wouldn't do it once I became an adult, and I haven't. But now, I'm rethinking that. I know it's a big waste of money to shell that out on a regular basis.
– Washed my own car. Sure, I'd use more water washing my car at home, but I wouldn't have to pay a car wash to clean and detail the car if I took a Saturday afternoon to do it myself.
– Did my own hair. Maintaining regular hair appointments is one of my most substantial monthly expenses. Eliminating just one appointment a month would reap a handsome savings.
– Used public transportation daily. I am a fan of the convenience of MARTA. I use it at least once a week, but would save more on gas and wear on my vehicle if I used public transportation a few more days a week. That would take some juggling since I often have obligations that take me out of the office during the day and after hours.
– Stuck to my list. I always write a grocery list before going shopping. While I come back with everything I need, I too often stray off course and spend an additional $20 or so on extras — trying a new product, remembering some meal I've been dying to cook or remembering an old favorite and picking it up.
Question: How could you find extra money in your budget? What could you do yourself that you spend money on?
May 24th, 2010
5:30 pm
Prepared more meals at home. I cook for a while, but then I get tired of my own cooking and end up eating out.
Just saying no is another way to save. I used to feel pressured to join friends at pricey clubs and restaurants to celebrate every birthday, anniversary, or girls night out. Now I've learned to decline politely as needed instead of overspending to avoid being seen as antisocial. I've learned to say, "Sorry, I can't make it this time." Plus, I encourage my friends to consider budget-friendly options such as girls night in potlucks with good music, girl talk, and homemade margaritas.

I have saved money by cutting my own grass, gas money plus wear & tear on my car by taking marta with my job's discount…and finally….downloading movies. Thats right, I download movies…yes, even the news one. I also drink tap water, grow a veggie garden and paint my own nails. I no longer pay for things I can easily get/do for free.
Judge me if you must, but I can't hear you anyway….. Iron Man 2 is up too loud.
May 25th, 2010
6:08 am
A car wash at home costs me water, 1 hour to clean and referee (MOM-it's-my-turn-for-the-hose-HEY-he-stole-the-sponge), and 1 hour to bathe all 4 kids and do an extra load of laundry.
The car wash costs $4 and 5 minutes. Plus, the kids love riding through the machine.
The vacuum is free either way, but I work faster at the car wash because there are fewer distractions and I just want to get out of there!
May 25th, 2010
6:36 am
As for MARTA … the kids would love the experience, but it would cost me $2 x 3 people (2 kids are free) x 2 trips (there and back) = $12. Not to mention that the Marta station is 7 miles away by car and the CCT bus stop is 1 mile walking with no sidewalks. (I only live one exit outside the perimeter!)
When I go downtown, I pay $5 (or less) and usually park within two blocks of whatever we're seeing that day.
If we took MARTA, they we couldn't bring a full day's worth of lunch, snacks, and drinks (too heavy) and we couldn't buy anything that we couldn't carry. I can't imagine having to herd everybody home after a long day downtown and the little ones refuse to walk because they're too tired. It's a lose-lose situation any way I look at it.
May 25th, 2010
6:41 am
We saved money by getting rid of Direct TV and joining Netflix. We can watch tons of movies and even TV series on demand. More convenient, and we don't get sucked into mindless tv anymore.
May 25th, 2010
8:53 am
Family of 6 loves to complain about everything.
The car wash is $4 and 5 minutes.
Doing it at home (even with the car wash and bathe) costs about $2 AND you get alot of fun with your kids. Spraying each other with the hose, running around throwing sponges –> you look at that as a pain, I look at that as wonderful family bonding time for free. Take a chill pill and actually enjoy being with your kids!
May 25th, 2010
10:37 am
I am already with my kids 24/7/365. Not every task needs to be "family bonding" and "a learning experience." Sometimes I just need to get the job done. I think that extra 2 hours is worth at least $2.

With the Powerball Jackpot at $600 million, everyone has their eye set on the lottery.
Office Lottery pools can increase your chances of winning according to a lottery expert. But sometimes those group winning lottery tickets can create more controversy than celebration.
Lottery Guru and author of several lottery books, Don McNay said a lot of co-workers don't think they're going to win because the odds are so high.
Without advanced planning, once they do strike gold – they're in trouble.
"A bunch of hairdressers sent the woman to buy the ticket and she claims she bought that one separately and the one that really won the lottery really wasn't part of the pool," McNay said.
Stories like this are happening across the country.
McNay said to avoid these situations, when going in with other people for a lottery ticket, it's crucial to write down who's in the pool and how the money will be divided.
He also recommends to the people who do win the lottery that they stay anonymous or as private about their winnings as possible.

UNDATED (WHTC) -- Just when you were starting to smile a little, thinking that the price of gas was going down, you are rudely surprised with the fact that prices have increased about 25 cents since this morning. There are still a few stations in the area that have prices below $3.30 but may have already increased to $3.49. Gas Buddy senior analyst Patrick DeHaan says it's important to understand that these price hikes happen every week or two. He says the increases seem to be a little less each time and that's a good sign. Also, the stock market isn't the only thing affecting the prices. Hopefully, DeHaan is correct and we'll see gas prices get lower sometime in the near future.

Song of the Day: Girl Talk - No Pause
I'm SUPER late to the whole Girl Talk movement. I've heard people talk about it for a couple years; I was even invited to a Girl Talk concert, but just wasn't interested. Girl talk is a lawsuit waiting to happen. It's basically just mash-up/remix music of popular songs. And its AWESOME. This song "No Pause" is from about 2 years ago, and from the album called Feed the Animals. I don't think this guy can legally make any money from his music (besides appearances; I did some research), so I encourage you to mediafire download this whole album. Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Uffie - ADD SUV feat. Pharrell
Uffie! Oh, how I've missed her. Her electro sound and style with Pharrell is the perfect match. You'll know what I'm talking about as soon as you push play. ADD… We can all relate to this song a little bit, I'm sure. "I feel like I'm in the movie Memento, but I don't have a pen."

Song of the Day: Chicano Batman - Lembrancinha
My friend Sam recommended Chicano Batman to me a few weeks back and sent a me a couple of their songs… This one has really gotten to me. It's exactly what I want to listen to on a hot-as-hell Summer day: chill, smooth, relaxed music. Plus, their album cover (above) is badass. Right?
Also check out Chicano Batman's "Itotiani." It's just as good.

Song of the Day: Christina Aguilera - Prima Donna
Xtina Aguilera's new album,
Stripped Vol. 2 "Bionic," is not very good. I've tried to like it, and I just can't. I can't even figure out what the 3rd single should be, because it's all pretty mediocre. But "Prima Donna" is totally a stand-out track that could become a big dance-pop-club hit… not a Billboard Hot 100 kind of hit, but it could do well in other areas. She sounds great, the song doesn't sound recycled, and it will be a hot song to remix. Love it! Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Katy Perry - Teenage Dream
"Teenage Dream" (Katy's 2nd single off her 2nd album) was released today. It was one of those moments when listening to a song where I instantly thought to myself, "I LOVE THIS!" It's literally been on repeat the whole day for me. This song is going to be huge for her - I can feel it. If the monster "California Gurls" would have never existed, "Teenage Dream" would've made a great - and very successful - first single.
This is totally a song to blare while driving in your car with the windows down - singing at the TOP OF YOUR LUNGS!!!

What we like best:
What you should know:
In the World of Goo, tiny goo balls are looking for a safe passage through—and it's up to budding physicists to make it happen! Players must manipulate the tiny blobs of goo to create bridges, towers and more to help the little ooze balls reach their destination.
This science-centered puzzle game features a slimy landscape, full of dangers for the poor sludge balls looking for safe passage to oil-slick pipes. Sound easy? Passage for the goo balls requires that players pay attention; build bridges or towers that are too narrow and the constructions will collapse. Tap the screen to move the balls into place where they form the nodes of the building—similar to a virtual erector set. The overall game is structured like a book with four "chapters" that feature different scenes and scenarios, keeping kids interested in continued gameplay. Style and color scheme changes with each chapter and the compelling mini-plotlines feature fascinating villains like the evil Goop Corporation.
At times, your sentient slime has special properties to contend with; although, the balls are never free from the laws of physics or gravity. This complex and captivating brain game's addictive gameplay ensures kids have fun while gaining a basic grasp of physics.

Love of My LifeI've been in an international relationship (UK/US) for 3 years now. We met online 4 years ago as co-workers. Since 2005, we have been going back and forth to live with one another. The longest period of time we've ever spent apart is 3 months. He's a wonderful person and I couldn't imagine myself being with anyone else.
That's excellent! My girlfriend is from Korea and Im from Canada, we met at university in the UK. We've been together about 6 months now and have gone back to our home countries. It's been 3 months apart now, I plan to go visit her in a month and a half.

Just wondering, what type of work do you do that allows you to travel/live back and forth in each others' countries?
I met my love here on EP a very short time ago. He is from London and I am from Ohio. He is coming to see me for 10 days in June. I would never in a million years have dreamed this would have happened. Any tips? Thanks!
Wow, I haven't gotten to do the traveling as of yet. Double Wow, my love is currently working in Newcastle, and has for the last 9 months, when the project is over, he will come to me here in Alaska.
That is fantastic!!! Are there kids involved? I have a 9 year old daughter and she loves to brag that she's been to England 3 times LOL

What part of US and UK? I'm in Michigan and he's in Newcastle (North east)
hi there! i was just wondering how you handle your long distance relationship where there is a child involved? i have a 6 year old and we have been traveling to the UK, vice versa. he is from hamsphire and i am from GA. we planned to get married but have held it off because of the uncertainties and "unsure". i know this is common but how do you overcome that? we have been together for 3 years and my son loves him. he has a son but no custody so i have decided that we do the uprooting. any advice? thanks :)

Flange I worked at Amoco Oil for nine years before I found out what is meant by a flange. It's the flat end of a pipe that is used to bolt up to a flange on another piece of piping. Bolts, with nuts at each end, are used to force the flanges together.
Expansion Loop Piping thermally expands as it gets hot. Allowance must be made for the growth in pipe length otherwise the pipe will break by cracking at its welds. We burned down a fractionator at the Good Hope Refinery because of such an omission. Spool Piece Piping is made in sections with flanges at each end.
This makes it easier to replace bad sections of pipe than if the piping sections were welded together though welded pipe is cheaper. Flange Rating Connections on vessels, spool pieces and valves have a pressure rating called a flange rating. This rating can be confusing—for example, a 150 psig flange rating is actually good for about 230 psig design.

Imagine if you will the following scenario, and it will explain a very basic concept of fantasy lore, and why there are some things we will never be able to know or understand.
First, there's a box. In this box is a handful of Fel Iron Ore, a flask of the Foresaken Plague, (you know... Plague Of Undeath), and Lil Timmy. Attached to this flask is some type of volatile triggering mechanism which will activate when that Fel Iron Ore decays, or there is crying on the forums.
In any case, we won't know if Lil Timmy is alive, dead, undead, or all of these states until we open the box. And even then we won't know for certain because what the hell is undead anyway?

"I think I've gotten her sick."2 Reviews
the finishing touches on the chapter moments ago.This is gonna be a good one with more to follow. I'll be updating My Baby's Daddy and seizeMANNEQUIN soon so be watching for updates!
xoxo Dani
"It's New Year's Eve. Do you wanna go for a walk?"
Paisley sighed and rolled over, snuggling into his chest.
"Sure." came her muffled reply.
Gerard laughed as he sat up, pulling Paisley with him.
"Go get dressed. I'm sure you don't wanna go walking in your flannel pajamas."
"But they're sooooo warm," Paisley cried as Gerard began changing.
"I have no comment on that. I'll be upstairs when you get done."
Paisley pouted as Gerard shuffled upstairs. Sighing, she stood up. As soon as she had,
she began to feel dizzy. The dizzyness was soon replaced by nausea. Hurrying she made
her way into Gerard's bathroom and shut the door.
"I'm here," Paisley shut the basement door and tried not to make any sudden movements,
just in case the nausea reappeared.
"Ok good.Here," Gerard handed her a thermos as he gave her a kiss.
"What is this?"
"Mom's home made hot cocoa. Secret recipe."
Paisley rolled her eyes as Gerard slipped her mittened hand into his.
"I really didn't wanna get out of bed."
"I know."
"My pajamas were so warm."
"I know."
"But this is nice. I'm glad I got out of bed."
"Thought you would," Gerard watched Paisley over his thermos as he sipped the contents.Slowly
he pulled his sketch pad out of the bag he had carried with them.
The two of them were sitting on the masonwork of a bridge that overlooked a small frozen pond.
Below them, kids their age were iceskating.while younger children were busy making snowmen
or engaging in snowball warfare.
"This is beautiful. I love how pretty the trees look with the snow. You'd never see anything like
this back home. I think I mentioned somthing like that before."
"Mmhmm," Gerard nodded as he removed the pencil in his mouth.
"What are you doing," Paisley tried to peek at the sketch pad but Gerard moved it.
"I'm sketching something.It just came to me."
Paisley sighed, "Another nightmare?"
"Not quite," Gerard smirked as his hand flew over the page.
"Can I see it?"
Paisley pouted slightly, causing Gerard to change the direction of his sketch.
Seeing that her pout wasn't giving her what she wanted, Paisley turned back to watching
the activites below her.
"Yes," Gerard had been paying attention to his sketch, giving it some finishing touches.
"I'm feel sick."
Gerard looked up. Paisley looked miserable. Her cheeks were the color of ripe Red Delicious
apples and she was shivering worse than the day that she had made her first snow angel.
"Oh shit. Come on. Your going to get completely sick if we dont."
Gerard climbed off of the stone work and flipped Paisley onto his back and started off on a
quick pace.
"Baby, I'm sorry. How long have you been shivering like that?"
"I don't know," Paisley's reply almost crushed him. She sounded bad.
"You should have told me. We could have left forever ago."
"I didn't want to interrupt you. You looked like you were concentrating pretty hard."
Gerard growled as he sprinted up his sidewalk.
"That is not what is important. You and your health are what's important."
Gerard ran into the living room where he lay Paisley on the couch. She didn't stay there long
though, as a wave of nausea passed over her.
Gerard stared at the hallway bathroom as Paisley disappeared, not noticing Mikey.
"What's wrong with Paisley?"
"I think I've gotten her sick."

cheap bike insurance news and information - December 2011
In a move likely to be welcomed by British bike enthusiasts, the Viper Bike Company of Auburn, Alabama, USA recently announced in a press release that it will begin distribution of its Diamondback Bike in the UK in 2012. The UK company chosen to distribute the Viper machines in the UK and Europe is AMV Bikes Ltd. AMV Bikes is only the second distributor outside of the United States, after Dubai, and will start with 2 UK outlets, one in the North West and one in London. A European outlet will come later. High hopes are held for the success of this new American cruiser, not least because new strict EU regulations for bikes are likely to put a dampener on Bike sales and force manufacturers to go upmarket to remain profitable.
To those not in the know, the Viper Diamondback is known as a "super cruiser", because it is similar to, but bigger and more powerful than the Harley Davidson heavy cruisers it is most likely to be compared to. Powered by a UK-built Ilmor 152 cubic inch V-Twin engine, this bike is aimed at affluent buyers who can afford the state of the art technology, attention to detail, sheer power and presence of the Diamondback. By the way, 152 cubic inches may not sound like much but it equates to about 2.5 litres, which is a fairly sizeable engine even for a car, but in a bike this 117 hp engine is the equivalent of a large V8 or V12 engine in a sports car. As a comparison, the typical Harley Davidson puts out about half the horsepower of a Viper. Just to give you some idea of the kind of performance Viper builds into its creations, in a three quarter mile race between a Dodge Viper V-10 sports car, an F-16 Viper jet fighter, and a Viper Mamba, the Viper won hands down, blasting out the distance in 16.33s to the F-16's 19.55s and the Dodge's 19.50s.
Classed by Viper as a third generation super cruiser, the Diamondback is said to be the most powerful and the fastest production V-twin in the world. To smoothen the application of all that power to the road, Viper utilises some intriguing technology. The proprietary powertrain vibration dampening system along with the on-the-fly adjustable air-ride suspension ensure that the rider enjoys a controlled, comfortable ride. The 6-speed Baker Pro overdrive transmission and a Rivera wet clutch along with the patented belt-driven Viper Rigidrive complete the drive train.
Described as "ridable art" by Bob Riley, the Governor of Alabama, when he opened Viper's new 23,000 square foot factory in East Alabama in August 2010, the Diamondback was relaunched in 2011 as a brand new model with the Ilmor engine. It is bound to excite and inspire bike enthusiasts all over the world with its classic American styling. In the UK, the British connection with Ilmor will be an added selling point for well-heeled bikers looking for the next step up from the now commonplace Harleys beloved by American Bike fans. Falling for a Viper Diamondback could well be as fatal an attraction as being bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake. Or at least that's the hope of Viper Powersports, the parent company of Viper Bike Company.
Lastest news from bike - insurance : November 16th 2011
The hottest new bikes of 2012 were on show at the Milan Bike Show last week (November 10th to 13th). The Milan EICMA bike exhibition is now the biggest motorbike exhibition on the planet and gives bike manufacturers an opportunity to showcase their latest new bikes, along with a selection of concept designs. The event also gives motorbike accessory manufacturers a chance to show off their latest offerings too.
The opening ceremony saw the participation of Emma Margegaglia - the head of Italy's leading industrial association - along with Robert Fomingoni - he's the current President of Lombardy Region in Italy – and multi-time world Grand Prix motorcycle champion, Corrado Capelli. All of the leading motorcycle manufacturers were well presented and BMW used the event to launch their new range of Maxi scooters, which have enough storage space to carry a round of groceries and can easily delivery over fifty miles to the gallon.
This year the Ducati 1199 Panigale grabbed all the headlines and was voted best in show by over 13,000 attendees. The Panigale is a full twenty two pounds lighter than its predecessor. It is powered by Ducati's new Superquatro engine, which give the bike a whopping 192 bhp. Those are the kinds of figures that you might expect to see from a BMW S100RR superbike, however, unlike the S100RR, the Panigale doesn't have a four cylinder engine. It's a twin.
The Panigale doesn't look bad either. It's the first mass production bike to use LED headlights which, thanks to the super lightweight magnesium sub frame give the bike an aggressive though somewhat futuristic look. Under the hood it's packed with an assortment of technological tricks such as an intelligent suspension system which adjusts automatically depending on the weight of the riders and also a game changing valve operating system that would put a NASA rocket scientist to shame.
As far as we know the Penigale will be released in UK showrooms next year around the end of March. Prices are expected to start from £14,995 for basic models all the way up to around £23,500 for the mind blowingly fast 1199 Panigale S Tricolore. We don't have any bike insurance figures to give you at the moment, however, they are expected soon. Watch this space.
It also turned out to be a good week for Triumph who finally showcased their 1200cc Tiger Explorer Adventure. The Triumph Tiger Explorer is an all terrain, long haul bike which has been designed to compete against the likes of the Yamaha XT1200Z. The Tiger is almost certainly going to be the most powerful bike in its class next year thanks to its new in-line three cylinder engine which packs an impressive punch at 135bhp. The Triumph will cost around £11,000 when it gets released in the UK next year. Bike insurance prices are due to be confirmed in the very near future.
Of course, it wasn't all just about showing off new and upcoming motorcycles. Some of the other popular highlights of included an outdoor stunt show along with appearances from some of the biggest names from the motorcycle racing world.

The gap between the number of Maori and Pacific people who are unemployed compared to Pakeha continues to widen and Polynesians are taking home a smaller pay packet.
The figures are highlighted in the New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services (NZCCSS) latest quarterly Vulnerability Report.
NZCCSS executive officer Trevor McGlinchey told NZ Newswire Maori and Pacific people are employed in mainly labour intensive roles which are usually the first to be axed during a recession.
"You've got Maori whanau and Pacific families who have on the whole lost employment all together," he said.
"We have a situation where the educational and industry training outcomes for Maori and Pacific people are not as good as for the wider population."
New Zealand's unemployment rate rose from five per cent in 2009 to 6.7 per cent in March this year.
Pakeha unemployment is sitting below the national average, at 4.5 per cent compared to 3.3 per cent three years ago.
However, Maori and Pacific unemployment is about 14 per cent, compared to about nine per cent in 2009.
In 2011 Maori had a median weekly income of $460 compared to $500 in 2008, while Pacific income fell from $455 to $390 over the same period.
Pakeha incomes increased but only slightly from $570 to $580.
Mr McGlinchey says there needs to be more of a focus on education and training for young Maori and Pacific people.
"Until that is sorted this is going to be an ongoing problem and of course it's not just a problem for Maori and Pacific people, it's a problem for New Zealand."
The NZCCSS report says demand for food parcels and budgeting services has eased but there is an increased need for housing assistance, counselling and social work services.
The number of people on the unemployment benefit rose 44 per cent from 37,100 in 2009 to 53,500 this year. Those on the sickness benefit rose 14 per cent to 58,400 over the same period.

Perfect for family reunions!
We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion at the Hanson residence. The owner was very helpful in answering our questions to make sure the house was the right fit for us. Upon arrival, the three kids in the family immediately had many things to do, both indoors and outdoors. The fishing is great for the outdoor lovers in the family and the sofas were perfect to just relax and read a good book for hours and hours. The kitchen is very well equipped and it was very easy to prepare our food. grocery stores and nearby cafes are not more than 5 minutes away. Overall, a very enjoyable weekend.
A great place to get away and make memories!
This is the perfect vacation spot for getting back to basics and making memories. We visited late June, 2013. It's where our two young granddaughters stood on the dock and caught their first fish. And it's where they got together with their boy cousins to swim and go tubing. It's just minutes away from shopping in Battle Lake, just in case you need groceries or suntan lotion. When we visited, there was a complete kitchen, two bedrooms and a hide-a-bed, a bathroom with a washer and dryer and plenty of room outdoors to pitch a large tent or two. The property was clean and the grounds were well maintained. We'll always cherish the nights spent around the campfire with our extended family. It was just a wonderful experience. It is simplicity, but with modern conveniences.
Great Vacation!
We had a great time! The home was very clean and comfortable. We made use of the big screen TV at night, along with the game room, which was a big hit with the kids. We have always enjoyed Rush lake, it is great for fishing and we enjoyed the pontoon to get in some swimming as well. Thanks to Brad and Holly for checking in to ensure our vacation went well, it was a wonderful week!

The Prime Minister is currently on a six-day visit to the US, which will see him hold meetings with US politicians to promote negotiations on the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership.
WASHINGTON, DC: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday (June 23) met with United States Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker to discuss the search for fresh Singaporean investment opportunities in the United States.
Mr Lee is currently on a six-day visit to the US, which will see him hold meetings with US politicians to promote negotiations on the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership. He will also deliver a speech at a reception to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (FTA), and speak at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Mr Lee also met with US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on Monday afternoon.
Singapore's trade with the US is currently worth more than US$50 billion (S$62.5 billion) a year. In 2012 alone, US foreign direct investment into Singapore rose by 17 per cent – higher than US investment flows to Japan and Australia.
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) earlier issued a statement saying the Washington, DC leg of the trip will see Mr Lee attend meetings in the White House and with several Cabinet Secretaries, as well as principal figures in the US Senate and House of Representatives.
When in New York, Mr Lee – who last visited the US in April 2013 – will meet business and industry leaders, and launch Temasek Holdings' New York Office, according to the statement.
He is accompanied by his wife Ho Ching, Minister for Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin, Deputy Speaker of Parliament Charles Chong, Member of Parliament Dr Janil Puthucheary, as well as officials from the PMO and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Join us and we will show you the best the Yukon has to offer!
Including Yukon River Canoe Trip, Yukon Raft Tour,Yukon Whitewater Trips and Tatshenshini River Trip. Come on a Yukon River Adventure today!
Another one of our day trips is on the Tutshi River.
The Tutshi is a small, technical river located on the scenic Skagway Road. The trip starts with a series of small lakes leading to the headwaters of the river. The gentle river quickly disappears, as does the horizon line and you enter the heart of the canyon. The Tutshi canyon is fast, generally grade III, with a grade IV drop known as the Nozzle, which we will scout. Below the canyon we will paddle a section known as "The Drops", which is a series of grade IV and V rapids, with flat pools at the bottom.
The perfect northern wilderness river trip
The McNeil starts at McNeil Lake in the St Cyr Range, which is located about 30 miles north east of Quiet Lake. The trip begins in moose pond country, an area with plenty of wildlife, great fishing, a panoramic view of the mountains and ideal hiking. We will encounter many moose, depending on how quietly we travel, it could be five or twenty-five.
At the end of the Moss Lake the river enters a busy 5 kms long grade II canyon, with sharp corners and beautiful walls. Below the canyon the McNeil flows into the Nisutlin River, it doubles in size and slows down to a gentle pace until you enter the Nisutlin Canyon. There, you are in for 10 kms of continuous grade III+ whitewater. This section is great fun; clear water, well defined chutes and wave trains and big eddies where you can pull over to stop and enjoy the scenery.
Below the Nisutlin Canyon the river is fast moving but without the busy action of the upper section. The valley widens and you float through one of the highest moose populations in the Yukon.
The McNeil is a fly-in trip. We drive to Quiet Lake located on the South Canol Road and then use a float plane to get to the put-in. The take-out is located at the Nisutlin River Campground on the South Canol.
Alsek River Trip
The Wildest and Remote River Trip
The Alsek River flows southward from its source at the confluence of the Dezadeash and Kaskawulsh Rivers, through large glaciated valleys of the St. Elias Mountains. Rugged glacial valleys are home for wild populations of grizzly bear and mountain goat. Arctic plant life clings to the light glaciated soils. Sand dunes and glacial till provide a contrasting environment for the diverse and fragile vegetation found here.
Breathtaking vistas of large valley glaciers such as the Lowell and Fisher offer the river visitor glimpses of the heart of Kluane.
Our six-day trip ends at Turnback Canyon which was created by the immense Tweedsmuir glacier. You paddle through a gorge similar to that of the Grand Canyon with some large Grade IV rapids.
The four-day trip ends at Lowell Lake, thus avoiding the whitewater sections of the Alsek River.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great school! My daughter has attended since kindergarten and just finished 5th grade. Teachers and principal are wonderful and always go above and beyond!
This is a GREAT school. The teachers and staff are very approachable and always available. My children attend Green Acres and love it! The workload for the students is a lot and teacher expectations are high...that is, to say, they expect the students to work hard and try their best...but the assignments are always fresh to keep the students engaged and interested.
GREEN ACRES ELEMENTRY SCHOOL, IT IS A GREAT SCHOOL!!! Few problems that I can tell you that happened to my son, one incident happened when my son a attended KG, he was bullied by a 5th grader which happened during recess time. The fifth grader was putting my son on the ground and sitting on him, that really upset and scared me, I sometime worry about that but the problem was resolved after I notified the principle,the reason i was upset because the incident happened for 3 days and nobody noticed. Another incident that happened was my son classmate pushed him of the swing and only punishment his classmate received was time out from recess. The last one was the lunch mom who was serving lunch did not give my son the lunch that he wanted but again the issue was resolved next my the principle. Thank you for reading
My daughter is entering her 3rd year at Green Acres and I love the school. She is going into the 2nd grade and she is very smart! She reads very well for her age and also likes to help other children with their reading. I love Mrs. McHaney, she was the best teacher and she always responded to any concerns I had. My daughter had a few problems with other children picking on her, but the problem was address and resolved very quickly. I use their latchkey program also and I love that too! This is a great school and I don't want to go anywhere else.
I used the School of Choice option to send my child to this lovely little school, starting with kindergarten. The building and grounds are kept clean and in good repair. The media center is a nice size for the size of the school. I really like that the classrooms have emergency exit doors. There are 3-4 'safeties' in the parking lot every day to control traffic. More often than not, parents of the younger children stand with them until the bell rings, and then return to take them from the school door to the car. We've gone through a couple different principals in the last couple of years, but I haven't seen any real issues. Parent involvement is excellent and the teachers are dedicated. Mrs. Bajis and Mrs. McHaney are particularly wonderful.
my grandson really enjoys going to green acres.He likes and respects his teacher,I am very pleased with his proformance .
My kids and I love this school. The teachers, principal and the staff are amazing. The PTO is great.
Green Acres is a great school, they do not make our children clean with dirty sponges or anything of the sort. The PTO is great, the problem is the lack of parents that participate in it! Teachers are great as well. Over all, this is a wonderful school, why else would we have been voted National Blue Ribbon, not just a Michigan Blue Ribbon school!
I'm suddenly disappointed with the school, the PTO and the principal. The only thing good about it is the teachers and some of the parents who really care about the school. The school is making changes without discussing it with the parents and trying to hide it. No child should be responsible to clean a lunch room table with a cleaner and sponge. And, this is not being done as a punishment. This is going to be the new standard. Along with ettiquette classes and an older student correcting the younger students.
We switched our children to Green Acres from a parochial school that we were very unhappy with. We've been here for three years now and have been impressed with the high quality of both the academics and the extra curricular activities. The teachers we have had so far have been exceptional. We also like the classroom choices that are offered here (looping, multi-age, traditional). Our experience is that the level of communication between the parents and the teachers has been good: classroom newsletters, e-mails, phone-calls with concerns. As for the principle, I do agree she does not seem very approachable. But, she was very helpful to us when we were switching schools and took the time to answer all of our questions.
I also agree that the principal lacks leadership abilities. The main thing that bothers me about this principal is the lack of communication between her and parents. I've called and left messages for her with no response at all! The other thing that bothers me is that at assemblies and ceremonies, she yells at the children for clapping and cheering. They are kids! At the D.A.R.E. graduation she boomed into the microphone that there is to be no applause when each child received their certificate. There are many other issues I have with this school, but will remain silent and be happy that my family is moving out of this school district. The only plus is Mrs. McHaney (1st grade teacher). She is wonderful!

Porsche wants plug-in hybrids on all models, including 911
Sports-car brand's hybrid-electric push is part of a broader focus on fuel efficiency.
Most automakers have dipped a toe into the slowly emerging and extremely limited plug-in hybrid electric market by producing just a single model. According to British magazine Autocar, Porsche plans to introduce plug-in versions of all of its models based on technology developed for the 2014 Panamera S E-Hybrid introduced at the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show.
A Porsche representative revealed that new hybrid platforms that combine an electric motor and clutches in one unit has been adapted to fit into all of the company's future cars, including the 911 and Cayman. It uses the same electric motor and clutch assembly slotted between the engine and transmission in the current Panamera and Cayenne hybrids, but adds a more powerful motor and battery.
The new hybrid technology is a step beyond the unit used in the Panamera S E-Hybrid and will be more powerful than its 94-horsepower hybrid-electric motor. The next-generation system will also be supported by a more energy-dense battery pack and more lightweight wire looms that use aluminum instead of copper.
Porsche says the wholesale move toward plug-in hybrids is driven by a companywide initiative to significantly reduce fuel consumption. The first phase of this new philosophy is demonstrated by the new plug-in Panamera and involves other fuel-saving technologies such as engine stop-start.
In the next stage, starting between 2016 and 2017, Porsche said its vehicles "will interact more intelligently with their surroundings," including the use of detailed digital maps to accurately measure inclines and the radius of approaching corners so that the car can automatically choose the most fuel-efficient driving mode for each situation. Autocar also said that Porsche wants to develop an inductive charging system that would allow the car's battery to be charged wirelessly through an embedded garage floor mat.
Along with its new focus on fuel economy, Porsche plans to promote the performance advantages of its hybrid-electric powertrains. For example, the combined output of Panamera S E-Hybrid, which will go on sale in the U.S. later this year and will start at $99,975, is 416 horsepower with 435 lb-ft of torque. This propels the 4-door sedan to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds and helps it reach a top speed of 168 mph.
The Panamera S E-Hybrid will also run on electric drive alone for up to 22 miles, but not at that full acceleration or top speed, of course.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love this card! Just wish there was a spot to include more information, such as travel reservations and/or accommodations."
"I stayed with all the same fonts/color as the template. I actually got the shimmer and extra thick card stock sampled before placing my order and we ended up going with the generic card stock... These were perfect! Everyone loved them :) Just to note, I had a dilemma on choosing a card or magnet, I figured since most people have stainless steel fridges these days the card was the better way to go! Also, it may be smart to order extra envelopes if your hand writing addresses!"
"I am very pleased with the final product and am looking forward to our destination wedding! The designers were great to work with and provided multiple proofs, so I could compare various colors and layouts. Although, I think these would also look nice with a glossy finish and wish I had explored that option."
"These cards are perfect. They were delivered very quickly. I had ordered some elsewhere in January with intent to have them out by the end of March. When I called for an update I was told the order was cancelled. I went into your website configured the card the way I wanted it and placed the order. Just a few days later there they were in the mail. They were all out by the end of March. I am on schedule. Thank you"
"We were able to customize the passport magnet (at no additional cost) to add our wedding web address just under the location. It added our personal touch and allowed us to get the information out that we needed to get to our guests without needing to create an insert. When I opened the box and took the first glance at our Save The Dates I was actually very surprised. They exceeded my expectations. The color quality was clear and the full magnetic back sticks evenly (even the corners lay nicely) to magnetic surfaces. I'm exteremly critical when it comes to invitations and this design exceeded my expectations. I intend to order my Invitations from Wedding Paper Divas as well."

De gustibus non est disputandum
Anonymous asked: Tried on a $2,000 Boglioli unstructured blazer the other day -- most amazing thing I've ever worn. Also out of my price range. But I saw that Yoox has a bunch of them for $500-$700. Wondering what's the catch? Are they just last season's models? Also curious if you have any experience buying/returning stuff to Yoox. Thanks, love your site.
One of life's great mysteries my friend. I assume they are a combination of old models and overstock, but I don't ask questions. Wouldn't want them to catch on right?
I have never had a problem buying, selling, or returning from Yoox. Their styling leaves much to be desired (part of the charm I guess), but their customer service has been ok for me so far.

A security officer at a high school north of LaPorte could face prison time if convicted of growing marijuana outside his residence.
Leon Hubner, 63, told officers he had been raising marijuana for 15 years, according to LaPorte County police.
Hubner is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on Class D felony dealing marijuana in LaPorte Circuit Court.
If convicted, Hubner could face a sentence of six months to three years behind bars.
According to an arrest report, Hubner is employed at La Lumiere High School, a private college preparatory school in rural northern LaPorte County.
Hubner on his Facebook page lists his occupation as the school security officer. Administrators at the school could not be reached for comment.
Among the school's celebrated graduates is U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and comedian Jim Gaffigan.
According to court documents, Indiana State Police spotted what appeared to be fully grown marijuana plants in the yard of Hubner's residence at 110 W. 12th St. in LaPorte during a helicopter flyover a month ago.
Troopers and officers from the LaPorte County Sheriff's Office went to the property Sept. 19 with a search warrant and discovered 38 marijuana plants in pots on the south side of his property, police said.
Fake flowers were attached to the stems of the marijuana plants and intertwined with the plants to try and disguise them, police said.
Hubner was inside the home, which contained three grow rooms in the basement, police said.
The grow rooms were lined with plastic and contained sodium and fluorescent lights along with thermometers and other growing devices, police said.
Hubner told police he started growing the marijuana indoors earlier in the season but later moved the plants outside, according to court documents.
Hubner said he obtained the lights in California in the late 1980s and purchased replacement bulbs at a hydroponic shop in South Bend, police said.
He also revealed he grows one crop every year and was planning on harvesting this year's crop in one or two weeks, according to court documents.
Hubner allegedly told police he smokes two to three marijuana cigarettes a day.
Police said 16 grams of marijuana inside three canisters was seized from the home along with five guns.

The National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) supports the existence and continued operations of Councils of Government (COGs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) of all sizes – large, small, urban and rural – in transportation planning and programming to promote regional solutions to national transportation needs that support economic growth, environmental sustainability, and enhanced mobility for all. The following talking points can be used when discussing the value that MPOs and COGs provide to achieving solutions to these challenges.
Click here to download the PDF
Regional planning is essential to the construction of infrastructure to move people, goods and services across our surface transportation network, continually bolstering our economy. Since the late 1960′s, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) have, through federal law, funding and recognition, directed the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure in urban areas with more than 50,000 people. MPOs and Councils of Government (COGs) perform comprehensive planning with substantial public input and have a strong interest in maintaining a safe and efficient multi-modal transportation system to support regional initiatives.
The success of regional planning is contingent upon proper authority for local elected officials and adequate resources to build capacity for greater regional cooperation in addressing the following key issues: integration of urban, suburban and rural interests; efficient goods movement; transportation safety planning; environmental mitigation; good decision-making; and, the future financing of our transportation system.
The cooperation between and integration of rural, suburban and urban regions will bolster the American economy. All policies must prioritize the linkages between regions, regardless of size, and support transportation planning to maximize the authority, funding and future for regions.
The future of our country's transportation system is in question. With a soon-to-be insolvent Highway Trust Fund and without other funds to support a national multi-modal transportation system, our country will be unable to compete in a global marketplace, sustain jobs and strengthen the overall national economy. Innovative transportation financing mechanisms that empower COGs and MPOs and capitalize on their vast experience must be explored to meet regional needs. These mechanisms include, but are not limited to: additional taxing at all levels of government; Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and other user-based fees; and, public private partnerships (PPPs) that do not undermine public authority in managing infrastructure.
One good example of PPPs is Regional Infrastructure Improvement Zones (RIIZs). RIIZs would encourage private-sector involvement in the building and construction of infrastructure and would not require the selling or leasing of infrastructure, but would allow private corporations or individuals to contribute funds toward the maintenance and construction of all infrastructure as predetermined by the regional organization.
Safety is paramount in establishing and maintaining an efficient multi-modal transportation network with COGs and MPOs serving as a primary leader in transportation safety planning activities. Policy and program changes are necessary to reduce the inconsistencies surrounding COG/MPO participation in safety planning and better incorporate regional transportation interests into state safety planning programs.
Goods movement is the backbone of America's commerce and requires a high degree of coordination between multiple modes of transportation – highways, ports, railroads and airlines. Connectivity and easy access between these modes is integral to freight mobility and the resulting economic prosperity and community development. For these reasons and many others, freight and goods movement should have a dedicated funding source and be incorporated in our national surface transportation program at the federal, state, regional and local levels. COGs and MPOs are well positioned to coordinate the freight interests within the regional context of transportation, economic development and environmental planning.
Transportation planning and decision-making rely on the most up-to-date data available to create models that forecast future transportation and land-use needs. Policy and program changes are needed at all levels of government to improve data collection and promulgation, and the technology available to aid in regional planning to address emerging transportation, land-use and environmental issues.

Hi, I'm submitting a link to a change.org petition that seeks to get MTV to rerelease Daria on DVD with the original music and editing restored. It's still early days but I'm excited about the prospect of getting MTV's attention and showing them that, yes, the fans do care that the original songs were replaced by elevator music (even if it was pretty good), and yes, they would be willing to shell out a lot more than the pitiful $15 that the entire series is currently going for if it meant getting their real show back. So if you'd be willing to publicize and express support for the petition, I would be grateful, and I'm sure a lot of Daria fans will be too! Thank you for considering the petition.
i guess the most thing i regret is how i acted towards my parents, being a rebellious teen and all.
yea, the comments about punctuation and grammar are dead on. If you want to simulate Daria, you should do so correctly and with honesty to the original source material.
i guess so? i'm not an RP blog though! only use submit if you have a suggestion for a daria quote you want me to do!
qpqrkjq replied to your post: madonnaxo said: As a writer…
I'm assuming they feel that this is a roleplay blog and you're RPing Daria
oh true, well this is not a roleplay blog to anyone that thinks it is!!
daria is pretty cool like that
you don't need to change yourself for others! i did that in high school and i ended up with the wrong kind of friends
madonnaxo said: As a writer, I feel like Daria would have better punctuation and grammar in "her" responses.
is this meant to be rude? i literally can't tell
if so, i know grammar and punctuation perfectly well thanks, but since this is not a blog about grammar and punctuation, i don't feel the need to adhere to the rules of either

A Perfect Day Now on Kickstarter Aims to Help Kids With Tough Medical Conditions LIVE WELL
LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pediatrician, musician and social entrepreneur Ben Meisel, M.D., announced today he's taking his big idea of building play into health to Kickstarter. This past weekend Dr. Ben (as his patients call him) launched a 30-day music campaign to fund A Perfect Day – a children's album packaging up summer camp's empowering fun to boost the outlook and health of kids living with significant medical conditions.A Perfect Day on Kickstarter aims to raise $15,000 by July 22 to produce the album by fall 2014.
"Camp-inspired music really does a body good! I've witnessed it and research backs me up," said Dr. Ben. "I believe there's a community that will rally around A Perfect Day and its mission to build up kids and their overall quality of life."
The album's inspiration comes from kids who Dr. Ben has cared for that choose to see the good in things, despite imperfect health circumstances. Dr. Ben's service at the SeriousFun Children's Network of camps, founded by Paul Newman, shows camp experiences transform kids. The music of A Perfect Day helps kids draw upon camp's psychosocial benefits (e.g., positive coping strategies and decreased illness-related stress).
Musicians participating in the project include: Alastair Greene and Austin Beede from the Alastair Greene Band, Glen Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket, bassist David Piltch, harmonica legend Tom Ball and guitarists Nick Massie and Daniel Zimmerman.
Watch A Perfect Day's Kickstarter video.
Learn more about Dr. Ben and his personal story that led him to camp medicine.
Listen to a song on the album written by Dr. Ben – "Coming Out of My Shell" on YouTube.
ABOUT THE POSITIVE IMPACT of CAMP
Going to camp represents a childhood right of passage. For kids with significant health challenges, their complex daily care management can make a camp experience logistically unattainable. The pioneering work of the SeriousFun Children's Network has made camp experiences possible for these kids, which has been shown to have a positive impact. A 2012 Yale Child Study Center evaluation found that children with serious illness who attended a SeriousFun Camp showed improved confidence, higher self-esteem, a greater sense of independence and increased interest in social activities. The study also revealed that children's stress related to their illness decreased as a result of the camp experience.
Dr. Ben Meisel, FAAP, practices pediatric urgent care in Valencia, Calif. He launched Dr. Ben & Co. in 2013. As a social entrepreneur, he sees tremendous possibilities for empowering music, educational gaming and health entertainment that enable children, teens and families to LIVE WELL despite serious medical conditions. Dr. Ben put his combined medical and musical talents to work as the chief medical advisor and medical director of The Painted Turtle (California's SeriousFun Children's Network medical camp) from 2006 to 2010. He's also received accolades as a children's music composer and recording artist.

Piece's of yesterday gone from my mind
What passion was there, what more can I say.
My heart still yearning for closure I will never see
As I drown out all the saddness
I know a complete being I will never be.
In myself I find no peace
But in his heart I find no grace
What I once held so dear
Someone else took my place.
I begged for forgivness
To release me from my pain
I said it truly and fully
In my head I hold no vain.
I could give up
But then he would win
And that would leave me
Holding all of our sin.
It was not all my fault
That you had to go away
I wish you peace and love
On this sad, sad day.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think that it can be pulled off in my opinion. As many people my or may not agree, the first game really broke the shell of what could and couldn't be done. A large amount of new content was introduced with the MMO that just wasn't there before and I do mean a large amount. I can't wait to get through all the new content and see where this story line goes. If I have read correctly even illidan can make a return as he merely flies off rather than dying. What would be interesting is to see the old gods return in all their might or for that matter the titan's themselves. If, according to all the lore I have read, the titans had something go wrong and they had to return to fix the time line, or something, anything. So much lore exists that there is no end to where it could all go. Hell something could happen and we end up with a 3rd new faction where we leave our old one behind or god knows what! All I know is I don't see an end to what is currently out there.
