We are an Australian family with 4 children living in BC Canada for one year on a teacher exchange. The children's ages are, 6, (girl) 10, 12, 15 (boys) We are planning a road trip for the summer holidays from Vernon BC to Toronto/Niagara Falls and are thinking about returning through the US.
We are considering buying a tent trailer to save on accomodation costs.
We would appreciate suggestions of places to stay, places to visit that we will all enjoy and suggested routes, time spent in each place etc. Our children are not great in the car so more stops along the way would work best or stopping longer at places.
We have had a huge response from the Canada forums as to what to visit and where to go. So hoping for some helpful suggestions for our US leg.
We all have US B2 visas so border crossing is fine. Thanks!
Family of 6, return road trip through the US from Niagara. Places to stop?

So, I'm sure you will actually get better answers from other people but I have some questions.
1. How long do you have?
2. How far south into the United States do you want to drive?
I would drive down the pacific coast, turn inward at Nevada, see the Grand Canyon, Moab, into Wyoming to see Yellowstone, across South Dakota, for the Black Hills, and Mt. Rushmore, Drive to Chicago, then onto Niagara Falls. That's a hell of a lot of driving, again how much time will help people offer suggestions, and I would also do a search on the boards for places you might want to go.
and I have no idea what a tent trailer is, so can't help you there -

Thanks williamscb, we can be away for up to 7 weeks but don't think we will last that long altogether in comfined spaces. A tent trailer is a camper trailer (which is what we call it in Australia(, Basically a trailer, that pops up like a tent but is like a caravan with beds, kitchen etc. So we will need a tent/caravan site at places like RV parks etc.
We don;t want to go to South at all as going through the US is on our return to BC Canada where we will already have visited Canadian provinces. So thinking sbout driving through States/places like Boston, New York State, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Wisonsin, Montana, north Dakota (not in that order)
Spokane and then onto Vernon BC. -

You will find the scenery/good sites and sights on this trip in New York State, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine (no need to go above Brunswick), Cape Ann, Boston, the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, Chicago, southern Wisconsin, the Minneapolis area, Montana, and Idaho (oh, wow!). I will suggest specifics if you get farther with this plan.
I am of two minds about the tent trailer. I think camping trips and trips to cover ground are two different things. It takes a long time to get to a campground (they are not usually on a main road), set up, break camp, etc. Fine, if camping is what you want to do. Not so hot if you want to get from Niagara Falls to Burlington, VT in one day (and you do). I have lots of friends who saw the country by tent trailer as children, but they did it over a period of years, not in one fell swoop: this year, Calgary, next year New England. Look into the points systems for a few of the major hotel chains. Sometimes you can get a free night after relatively few paid nights.
There are some areas that may be tough. Boston and Chicago will be expensive. North Dakota has both bad roads and an oil boom. They are not unrelated, since the trucks are tearing up the roads. It will be expensive to stay because oil workers are crowding motels and cafes. There isn't a lot to see in eastern Montana and most of North Dakota except sky. Think "Nullarbor Plain" with cows. South Dakota has the Black Hills/Rapid City area.
We made a lot of long distance car trips when we were kids, and my parents' sanity was saved by (1) motels with pools and (2) frisbees. You can throw a frisbee anywhere, and twenty minutes of vigorous activity will calm your teenagers a lot (and can be enjoyed by the little one). -

4 kids and 2 adults in a popup camper is a lot of folks in a small space. You may want to consider buying some pup tents or another pop up tent for the older boys to sleep in outside the big tent/camper.
Check out KOAs. In my opinion, they will be your best bets for campgrounds. Get to the campground early enough in the day for the kids to enjoy the pool - and tossing the frisbee. There's usually a game room and wifi available too. My kids enjoyed pancake breakfasts at their favorite KOA in Durango, CO.
For cross-country trips, we liked using the KOA Kamping Kabins instead of setting up camp every night. But you have too many people for the KKs. They do have Kamping Lodges, but I'm not sure that will be less expensive than staying in a motel room.
Have fun with this adventure! I love cross-country trips! -

We are family with 3 children, We will go to Canada and EEUU from Barcelona (Spain) and we want to rent a motorhome too.
My question is: Is a safe for a family this kind of trip? -
Report Abuse
Renting a motorhome is safe but VERY expensive. Frankly, it will cost less to stay in budget motels and rent a car. Also, renting a motorhome for a one-way trip can be very difficult - it is often not allowed and if it is the drop off charge can be very high.
Finally, having a motorhome will prevent you from seeing major cities - which don;t have anyplace to put one. You need to leave it on the outskirts and then pay for public transit every day to get to and from what you want to see. For instance, the closest place you can leave a motorhome near NYC is in New Jersey - and the cost is about $90 per night. Plus the cost of bus or train to get in and out.
Motorhomes make sense if you are going to be in areas out west that have lots of places to put them - which may not be far from what you want to see. (But I would still do a car and budget motels.) -
Report Abuse
ah, so I read it backwards, you are going east to west.
then i'd do Maine, Massachusetts, Cape Cod, pop into NYC, Pittsburgh, chicago, south dakota, montana/ wyoming and back.
I suggest if you want to camp, start looking for campgrounds, national park, and even state parks along your route, and figure out the camping aspect of it, and let that dictate where you go. -

Thanks starrs, ackislander, williamscb13 and others. These tips re what is worth seeing, where to camp is very helpful. We now have a new question.. how safe ae we going to be in a pop up camper in a trailer park? My husand is wondering whether we might be safer in the walls of a motel (albeit squished and without cooking facilities..) that at the mercy of crazed people who can have easy access to us in the walls of a canvas tent. Not sure if we have watched too many news reports about crime in the US when in Aust, but is it a valid concern?

Plain and simple, you've been watching too much TV.
A tent camper in a family-oriented camping area is just as safe as a budget motel. I've checked into motels that had me checking out in fifteen minutes after noting the locks on the doors had already been broken off, but I've never felt unsafe in a campground. There ARE some of the latter that I wouldn't check into, even if I were in an armored car, but that's where sites like Woodalls.com can help. If you want more specific ideas on how to feel safe as you use campgrounds, feel free to ask. -
Report Abuse
That impression of campgrounds is really out there. They are among the friendliest and safest places there are.
I agree with Starrs about KOAs.
We did a 6 week trip with our children and camped part of the time using Parks and KOAs. There are camping directories available.
What kind of vehicle do you have? Rather than the pop top, you might get good camping equipment and a car top carrier. You may need the carrier anyway for children's space in the car.
Do they have DVD players, etc.
You will really not be able to navigate large cities with a trailer camper.
Your return through the northern US is a little problematic--they are fine states, but there isn't a whole lot to do.
I do like the Badlands. Wyoming will offer you some good scenery.
The northeastern states are very interesting and beautiful. -

Boston, New York State,
These are out of your return trip to BC. It will be a full day's drive to Boston, and then back to the longitude that is represented by Toronto or Niagara Falls. There is no way of avoiding long stretches through the Plains states, but you will have discovered that driving across Canada. Very little that is appealing between Chicago and the Rockies. Try to do it in two days.
From what I have seen of private campgrounds, I am not crazy about them, although they may have amenities that are not available in public campgrounds. We prefer staying in National Forest campgrounds or National or State Parks campgrounds. I think that they usually have more space between the camp sites.
Obvious stops on the way back: the Black Hills, Yellowstone, Glacier, Rocky Mountain NP, Dinosaur National Monument, Lake Tahoe, Crater Lake. Guidebooks might help you make a choice, using a map to rationalize the itinerary. A project for the 12 and 15 year-olds.
Browsing through these sets might give you some ideas:

I don't disagree about the comment about campgrounds, but if you are just travelling and want to stop, they are fine. If you are going to stay in the National park campground they also fill up early in the day. Some you can make advance reservations (we did at Grand Canyon for example).
For the teens, the commercial campgrounds also have game rooms--not a bad thing after a day of driving across long plains.
We drove from the east (NC) to the Pacific on our long family trip and one reason was to show our kids just how HUGE the midsection of our country is. They know, but they weren't thrilled!! -
Report Abuse
Oh you HAVE been watching too much TV! You will be completely safe in campgrounds. Nice, friendly people. MUCH better than a budget hotel, IMO.
Since you are doing so much moving, seriously consider staying at KOAs. You can make reservations ahead of time and take that worry away. The kids will enjoy the swimming pool - and game rooms, etc. - and you'll be able to spread out more.
Enjoy the trip. I loved camping with kids. -
Report Abuse
Thanks all for your detailed advice. I have now looked at Woodalls.com and the KOA site. We will need space for the kids to play and I know they will enjoy campgrounds with pools and games rooms. We just need to decide will WE enjoy camping for that long. We may consider not doing such a long trip and just camping in 2 provinces like our own (BC) and Alberta. What a pity there's not an endless supply of time and money to be able to see all the wonderful places in Canada and the US and to be able to do it in comfort and luxury..!

Smug is one of those shops that makes you feel better just for a visit, as it's full of neat little examples of brilliant design. Some is re-purposed vintage stuff, some is modern retro. For those with an eye for graphic design and a bit of space to put it in, it's well worth a visit. Sky-high Islington prices, but deservedly so.
Review from Tristan J.
When shopping I ask myself the question: "Do you need this or do you want it?" If the answer is want, I usually don't buy it.
This shop is a "want" shop. I want these things but I really don't need them: wooden owls, trendy furniture, salt and pepper shakers that look like anything but, trendy desks, fashionable kitchenware etc. You get the picture.
It's a cute little shop though, spread over two small floors on Camden passage. Pop in and browse but whether you need any of this stuff is up to you.

Ed Bell
Ed Bell
Ed Bell's Paramount record of his own "Mamlish Blues" is the kind of performance that has the power to suspend the listener in the eternal present moment. Its simple, repetitive, ascending, and descending scale evokes a magical sensibility that is echoed on the flipside, "The Hambone Blues," and the other two titles he cut in Chicago in September 1927. Bell's modest but substantial recorded legacy places him in league with more famous individuals such as Blind Boy Fuller, Tommy Johnson, Charlie Patton, and Robert Johnson. The magic that waits within Bell's recordings to be discovered by open-hearted listeners was clearly defined by trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, philosopher, and educator Ishmael Wadada Leo Smith, who once said that growing up in the Mississippi Delta among blues musicians taught him "to feel that whatever I play relates to a gigantic field of feeling. To me, the blues is a literary and musical form and also a basic philosophy. When I get ready to study the mystical aspect of black people, I go to the blues; then I feel that I'm in touch with the root of black people."

sail-world.com -- The Great Race – Gold Coast to Brisbane off the beach classic
The Great Race – Gold Coast to Brisbane off the beach classic
Fri, 11 Jan 2013
On Saturday 9th February 2013 Southport Yacht Club will be hosting the Great Race - for the ninth time since its inauguration in 2005. Year after year, the Great Race attracts competitors from all over Australia, looking to test their stamina and willpower in this 70km endurance race from the Gold Coast to Brisbane.
The Great Race is possibly the longest off-the-beach sailing event of its kind to be staged in Australia. Starting just outside the hosting Southport Yacht Club's Hollywell Sailing Squadron on the Gold Coast, competitors make their way up towards Brisbane. The narrow and twisted waterways between the mainland and the islands will test the competitors' tacking and boat handling skills before the open vastness of Moreton Bay will provide some challenging wind and waves. Finally, the race will finish just off Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in Manly.
This Year see's the introduction of a ½ Marathon which will use the same start area but finish at Weinam Creek which is 20.5nm (38km) from the start and just before the entrance into Moreton Bay, this has been introduced for those who don't meet the criteria set out for the full race.
This is an intense race. The current race records were set in 2012 with 2:33:32hrs elapsed time for Multihulls, 3:25:09hrs elapsed time for Monohulls and 2:39:58hrs elapsed time for Foiling boats, with the majority of the fleet taking between 4 and 6 hours to complete the course. Concentration and strength are called on for varying angles and sailing conditions that are encountered as you plot your way through the myriad of channels. Competition is fierce all the way, and with tactics changing constantly, you arrive at RQYS or Weinam Creek absolutely spent and hurting, but with a strange little smile of satisfaction on your face that only fellow competitors can relate to!
We've picked the weekend with the most favourable tide. Now it is just up to the breeze and to the competitors to set new race records. Entries for The Great Race are open to all off-the-beach dinghies with a yardstick rating less than or equal to 112, and all off-the-beach multihulls with yardstick no higher than 100.
The Great Race ½ Marathon is open to all off the beach dinghies with yardstick rating of greater than and including 113 and less than or equal to 123.

Hi all,
I've just started looking into organising a rental vehicle for our holiday in Eleuthera this December. We'll be there for a week - is a jeep really necessary or can we make do with a car? I know some of the roads (including ours on banks road) are in pretty bad shape but to what extent?! Any inside info. re. how much we should pay and who we should go through would be much appreciated!! Also - how much should we expect to pay for fuel?
Thanks in advance
Rental car/jeep Eleuthera - help!!

Not sure where Banks road is, but we have visited Eleuthera several times and usually have had a car with no problem, and we've been all over the island from one end to the other. Just be advised that the vehicle you rent will probably be en old GM or Ford where the odometer stoped working at 165,000 miles. But since you will be going 40 mph, it doesn't matter. Also, gas prices shouldn't be an issue, since there isn't very far to go, but you'll think the car is a bit pricy. E-mail me if you have any quetions.
Report Abuse
We rented a car during our '07 stay. If I were to do it, I'd do a jeep. We did quite a bit of driving and some of the access roads to the beaches were pretty bad. There were a couple of beaches we ended up not going to because it had rained and there were potholes filled with water that looked way too deep for our car. We just didn't want to get stuck.
Back in '07, gas was close to $5/gallon and the car was $60/day. -
Report Abuse
We stayed in that area in April 2008 and rented an (old) Suzuki "jeep" from Stanton Cooper- very nice man- the vehicles, as others said, are more often than not old and pretty worn. Ours was fine- great AC- and we were glad for the extra height and ground clearance on very rough terrain like going to Lighthouse Beach ( a "do not miss" in my opinion). The cost between the car and the "jeep" was small so we thought it was well worth the difference. Which house are you renting (some are farther down a bumpy road than others)?
Report Abuse
PS I am guessing from your verbage and spelling that you are British or Canadian? Gas prices might be far different for us and you even in our own countries or even areas of the US. I know gas was about 1 1/2 times or even twice what we were accustomed to at home (southern US) at the time of our visit- no telling now- but we have found that all over the islands due to the import issues and costs. I will tell you that we travelled all over Eleuthera all week long and actually burned very little gas so I don't think it is a major budget issue.

Hi, thanks everyone for all the info im swaying towards a jeep mainly for the journey to lighthouse beach. We've had a bad experience of being stuck in a beach in the middle of Donegal, Ireland that we'd hate to repeat! We have been offered a 'Ford Explorer Sports Utility Vehicle' for $70 per day from Taylor & Taylor which sounds about right.

Carole- That price seems fair. I think I know where Windchat is- I am pretty sure we passed it (or the sign at the drive) as we went farther down that road to the house we rented in NPP. The photos look lovely- have a great time!

I always wonder why people dredge up years old threads and add to them long after the OP has traveled. Sorry you did not have a good experience but everyone else I know had a good one as did we. Almost all of the rentals in Eleuthera are (understandably) "beaters"- it's not like they have readily available parts to fix things and the weather takes a tremendous toll quickly on vehicles, as well.
Report Abuse
PS I do think also that the rule of thumb for travelers anywhere ought to be "you get what you give"- we always give a friendly, polite and respectful attitude to people in service industries when we travel and we get that in return. Mr. Cooper was a complete gentleman and a helpful and friendly man when we did business with him.

Steven Maury ″Tiberius″ Gibson (born March 26, 1955, Dayton, Ohio, United States) is an American computer enthusiast, software engineer and security researcher who studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. Gibson lives in Laguna Hills, California. In the early '80s, Gibson was best known for his work on light pen technology for use with Apple and Atari systems. In 1985, Gibson founded Gibson Research Corporation, best known for its SpinRite software.
He is an advocate of assembly language programming, and prides himself on writing smaller applications mostly in Intel x86 assembly language, including much of the code of the SpinRite hard disk utility used from the beginning of the PC era. He is one of several advocates of optimizing computer programs and reducing the size of their executables. In the 1990s, Gibson began to move into the computer security field, developing and distributing a number of free security tools, including the ShieldsUp! port-scanner, and the LeakTest firewall tester. In 2000, Gibson created one of the first adware removal programs, OptOut.[citation needed]
Gibson's latest publicly released works are SecurAble, last updated January 14, 2007 and more recently, DNS Benchmark, released September 30, 2010. SecurAble is a program that will tell the user if their CPU supports 64-bit computing, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and hardware level virtualisation. DNS Benchmark is a utility used for obtaining DNS nameserver performance characterization, profiling and comparison.
Gibson is working on the DNS Nameserver Spoofability Test, an online utility used to test whether the systems configured nameservers are vulnerable to DNS spoofing, and SQRL, a draft open standard for secure web site login and authentication.
Gibson Research Corporation[edit]
Gibson Research Corporation or GRC is a computer software development firm founded in 1985 by Gibson. The company is registered in Laguna Hills, California.[1] GRC has created a number of niche utilities over the years, the foremost of which is SpinRite, a hard disk scanning and data recovery utility.
As of mid-2009 GRC has three employees; Steve Gibson, Greg (technical support) and Sue (bookkeeper). Gibson also founded Gibson Laboratories, Inc. in 1981, a predecessor to GRC.[2]
One of the significant features of Gibson Research Corporation is that far more of Steve's work is freely available. At this time only SpinRite is a paid-for commercial product.
Gibson co-hosts a weekly computer security-focused podcast with Leo Laporte called Security Now!. Gibson has appeared on Leo Laporte's technology podcast, This Week in Tech and also used to occasionally appear on The Lab with Leo Laporte on G4techTV Canada.[citation needed]
Steve Gibson was a contributing editor to InfoWorld magazine. He reported on the world of hackers and crackers.[citation needed]
Gibson was involved with a notable controversy over the Windows Metafile vulnerability,[3] an issue raised in 2006 where a Windows Metafile image could trigger execution of arbitrary code. Gibson analyzed an unofficial patch issued by Ilfak Guilfanov, and publicly speculated both on his podcast called Security Now![4] as well as on his Web site[5] that Microsoft may have intentionally included this vulnerability because of the use of an API called SetAbortProc, originally intended as a mechanism for canceling print jobs, which in his view made no sense. When Slashdot, a technology news Web site, picked up the assertion, an Internet rumor that Microsoft intentionally built a back-door to its operating systems was promulgated.[6]
Gibson has been associated with a number of other controversies[7] in the computer security field, including his prediction of the "XP Christmas of Death" in 2001 describing the outcomes of Microsoft's implementation of the SOCK_RAW protocol.[8]
Gibson is also known for attempting to replicate functionality of a tool called SYNcookies, written by Dan Bernstein and Eric Schenk, in his own tool called GENESIS, as a preventive mechanism for SYN-flood attacks.[9]

Boeing 787 catches fire at gate at Boston airport
BOSTON (Reuters) - A Boeing Co (BA.N) 787 Dreamliner aircraft with no passengers on board caught fire at Boston's Logan International Airport when a battery in its auxiliary electric system exploded, officials said.
A mechanic inspecting the Japan Airlines Co Ltd (9201.T) jet discovered smoke in the cockpit while performing a routine post-flight inspection and reported it to airport authorities at around 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT), said Massport Fire Chief Bob Donahue.
A fire crew responded and determined that a battery used to power the plane's electric systems when the engines are not running had exploded, Donahue said. The mechanic was the only person on board the plane when the smoke was discovered and no one was hurt by the blaze, he added.
"Passengers were in no danger as this event had happened at least 15 minutes after they deplaned," Donahue said.
The fire is the latest reported mechanical failure in a string of incidents affecting the Dreamliner, which was also plagued by production problems that delayed initial delivery by 3-1/2 years.
The U.S. jet maker's shares fell more than 2 percent to $76.01 on the news.
Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said, "We are aware of the event and are working with our customer."
Japan Airlines representatives did not immediately respond to a call for a comment.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration are now looking into what caused the fire, Donahue said. The National Transportation Safety Board also announced it was opening an investigation.
The 787 relies heavily on electrical power to drive onboard systems that in other jet models are run by air pressure generated by the engines. It also suffered electrical problems during testing that prompted a redesign.
The aircraft is Boeing's first to be made of carbon composites rather than aluminum, a change that lowers the plane's weight and allows it to burn less fuel.
The Dreamliner has suffered a string of mishaps with electrical systems in recent weeks. On December 4, a United Airlines (UAL.N) flight from Houston to Newark, New Jersey, made an emergency landing after it appeared that one of its power generators failed. On December 13, Qatar Airways said it had grounded one of its three 787 jets because of the same problem United had experienced. On December 17, United said that a second 787 in its fleet had developed electrical issues.
Boeing Chief Executive Jim McNerney last month argued that the 787 has not experienced an unusual number of problems for a new aircraft.
Boeing competes with European jetmaker Airbus (EAD.PA).

This seemed like a good opportunity to clean my bag. Unfortunately, I only ended up throwing out a few papers.
BTW -- this took so long to set up, and I was squatting most of the time, so my legs were dead tired by the time I stood up to actually take the pic, and I couldn't stop shaking. Another reason why I was never a catcher.

at any rate, I like your bag, and you seem like a good person to be with if ever lost in the woods... You come prepared...

Movie visual effects (VFX) artists working in B.C. say post-production companies are taking advantage of the province's tax credits, then subcontracting out work to China and India.
Visual effects companies, responsible for creating computer generated imagery (CGI) and combining this with live action footage to produce finished films, receive tax credits currently set at 33 per cent of labour costs in B.C.
But under pressure to keep costs down, many VFX companies are underbidding for work, undercutting each other and outsourcing projects to countries with cheaper labour.
Greg Vernon, Executive Producer of Seattle-based VFX company Tinderbox, used to run an office in Vancouver, but says he cannot compete with other companies sending work overseas.
"I think the government does have the ability to put strict controls on companies who are sending their work overseas," said Vernon.
"But there is a clear lack of oversight, and a clear lack of auditing procedures going on."
Last month, film workers in Vancouver urged the provincial government to increase tax credits in B.C., after Ontario and Quebec raised their own incentives to a 25 per cent tax credit on all production costs.
More than 15,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the B.C. government to step up their offering.
But Premier Christy Clark responded by outlining tax credits the province already provides and stopped short of announcing any further tax breaks for the industry.
Critics argue that tax credits are passed on to movie studios rather than VFX companies, who are encouraged to follow the tax breaks, opening and closing offices accordingly, forcing workers to do the same or lose their jobs.
Piece of the Pi
The difficulties facing the industry were highlighted at the Academy Awards last Sunday, when VFX supervisor Bill Westenhofer accepted an Oscar on behalf of Rhythm & Hues, the VFX firm largely responsible for the imagery of Life of Pi.
Despite working on several successful, award-winning movies, the firm — which has an office in Vancouver — was forced to file for bankruptcy just days before the Oscars ceremony.
Westenhofer attempted to broach the company's problems during his Oscars speech, but was cut off by the band before he could go into any detail.
"Sadly Rhythm & Hues is suffering financial difficulties right now," he said. "I urge you all to remember."
Outside the ceremony, hundreds of VFX artists took to the streets to demonstrate their anger at the company's predicament, saying they feel disregarded by movie studios.
Meanwhile, others argue the problems facing VFX artists simply arise from the industry's business model, which sees prices for jobs fixed before projects commence, while other factors such as deadlines are prone to change.

On the basis of approximately 200 sex offenders studied over a five-year period at Sing Sing Prison by the New York State Sex Research Project, tentative hypotheses are offered for simultaneous investigation by other individuals, while the task of assembling objective data at Sing Sing continues. The consistency in the psychological pattern of the sex offenders studied is striking in regard to four major points:
Almost every one of the subjects exhibited, on the basis of psychological examination and/or psychiatric interview: (1) as a reaction to massive Oedipal entanglements, castration fear or feelings and fear of approaching mature females psychosexually; (2) interpersonal inhibitions of schizoid to schizophrenic proportions; (3) weak ego-strength and lack of adequate control of impulses; and (4) concrete orientation and minimal capacity for sublimation.
The projective protocols of the subgroups of sex offenders appear to exhibit castration feelings in the following order of increasing intensity, men convicted of (1) rape; (2) heterosexual contact with adolescents and children; (3) homosexual actions with adolescent partners, and (4) homosexual actions with child partners. This continuum, from rapists to homosexual pedophiles, appears to represent in parallel fashion the increasing intensity of castration feelings on the one hand, and the correspondingly greater distance from the mature female as a potential sex object, on the other. Incest subjects were found to be both the most overtly psychotic and also to harbor the most intense castration feelings.
The view is presented that the sex offense represents an attempt on the part of the patient to employ substitute sex outlets for the mature female, because of the threatening potential, both psychosexually (Factor I) and psychosocially (Factor II), with which she is endowed. Secondary, specific factors, differentiating the reparative adjustment-efforts of the rapists, homosexuals, pedophiles and incest subjects, have been presented.

Katie Price is preparing to give birth early via Caesarean section.
The 35-year-old model - who is 32 weeks pregnant - feared for her baby's life after being rushed to a foreign hospital 13 days ago due to complications, and now doctors have warned her that her fourth child is likely to be delivered prematurely via the surgical procedure.
Pregnant Katie Price is suffering from ''really bad'' back pain and is ''struggling to walk''.
The 35-year-old star is currently expecting her first child with husband Kieran Hayler and has been experiencing unbearable pain as a side-effect of the pregnancy.
Peter Andre wants another two children.
The 40-year-old reality TV star - who already has children, Junior, eight, and Princess Tiaamii, six, with his ex-wife Katie Price - has just announced he's expecting his first child with his medical student girlfriend, Emily MacDonagh, but he admits he'd like another one after Emily gives birth to complete his brood.
Katie Price has congratulated Peter Andre on his baby news.
The former glamour model appears to have buried the hatchet with her ex-husband and expressed her ''genuine'' well wishes to the reality star and his new girlfriend Emily MacDonagh after they announced they are expecting their first child together earlier today (22.07.13).
Peter Andre is having a baby with his girlfriend, Emily MacDonagh.
The 40-year-old reality TV star and his medical student partner are thrilled by the news and friends expect them to marry before the baby is born early in 2014.
Katie Price says keeping her pregnancy private has been a game.
The 35-year-old star - who already has three children, 11-year-old son Harvey, from her relationship with soccer player Dwight Yorke, and son Junior, eight, and daughter Princess Tiaamii, six, with Peter Andre - is currently expecting her first child with husband Kieran Hayler.

CRL1-FBXO11 Promotes Cdt2 Ubiquitylation and Degradation and Regulates Pr-Set7/Set8-Mediated Cellular Migration
Molecular Cell, Volume 49, Issue 6, 28 March 2013, Pages 1147-1158
Tarek Abbas, Adam C. Mueller, Etsuko Shibata, Mignon Keaton, Mario Rossi and Anindya Dutta
SummaryThe Cul4-Cdt2 (CRL4Cdt2) E3 ubiquitin ligase is a master regulator of cell-cycle progression and genome stability. Despite its central role in the degradation of many cell-cycle regulators, e.g., Cdt1, p21, and Pr-Set7/Set8, little is known about the regulation of its activity. We report that Cdt2 is autoubiquitylated by the CRL4A E3 ubiquitin ligase. Cdt2 is additionally polyubiquitylated and degraded by Cul1-FBXO11 (CRL1FBXO11). CRL1FBXO11-mediated degradation of Cdt2 stabilizes p21 and Set8, and this is important during the response to TGF-β, with the Set8 induction being important for turning off the activation of Smad2. The migration of epithelial cells is also stimulated by CRL1FBXO11-mediated downregulation of Cdt2 and the consequent stabilization of Set8. This is an interesting example of crossregulation between specific Cullin 4 and Cullin 1 E3 ubiquitin ligases and highlights the role of ubiquitylation in regulating cellular responses to TGF-β and the migration of epithelial cells.

SummaryDuring metazoan development, cells acquire both positional and temporal identities. The Caenorhabditis elegans heterochronic loci are global regulators of larval temporal fates. Most encode conserved transcriptional and translational factors, which affect stage-appropriate programs in various tissues. Here, we describe dre-1, a heterochronic gene, whose mutant phenotypes include precocious terminal differentiation of epidermal stem cells and altered temporal patterning of gonadal outgrowth. Genetic interactions with other heterochronic loci place dre-1 in the larval-to-adult switch. dre-1 encodes a highly conserved F box protein, suggesting a role in an SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Accordingly, RNAi knockdown of the C. elegans SKP1-like homolog SKR-1, the cullin CUL-1, and ring finger RBX homologs yielded similar heterochronic phenotypes. DRE-1 and SKR-1 form a complex, as do the human orthologs, hFBXO11 and SKP1, revealing a phyletically ancient interaction. The identification of core components involved in SCF-mediated modification and/or proteolysis suggests an important level of regulation in the heterochronic hierarchy.

Seung-Hwan Kim and W. Matthew Michael
SummaryBoth the POLH-1 (pol η) translesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerase and the GEI-17 SUMO E3 ligase are essential for the efficient replication of damaged chromosomes in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos. Here we study how POLH-1 is regulated during a DNA-damage response in these embryos. We report that DNA damage triggers the degradation of POLH-1 and that degradation is mediated by the Cul4-Ddb1-Cdt2 (CRL4-Cdt2) pathway that has previously been shown to degrade the replication factor Cdt1 during S phase. We also show that GEI-17 protects POLH-1 from CRL4-Cdt2-mediated destruction until after it has performed its function in TLS, and this is likely via SUMOylation of POLH-1. These studies reveal that POLH-1 undergoes DNA-damage-induced proteolysis and that GEI-17 regulates the timing of this proteolysis. Implications for how this system may control the removal of POLH-1 from replication forks after TLS are discussed.

Graphical Abstract
► FBXO11 targets CDT2, a CRL4 substrate receptor, for proteasomal degradation ► CDK-mediated phosphorylation of CDT2 degron inhibits recognition by FBXO11 ► FBXO11-mediated degradation of CDT2 controls the timing of cell-cycle exit ► FBXO11-CDT2 functional interaction is evolutionary conserved from worms to humans
- F-box proteins and DCAF proteins are the substrate binding subunits of the Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein (SCF) and Cul4-RING protein ligase (CRL4) ubiquitin ligase complexes, respectively. Using affinity purification and mass spectrometry, we determined that the F-box protein FBXO11 interacts with CDT2, a DCAF protein that controls cell-cycle progression, and recruits CDT2 to the SCFFBXO11complex to promote its proteasomal degradation. In contrast to most SCF substrates, which exhibit phosphodegron-dependent binding to F-box proteins, CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Thr464 present in the CDT2 degron inhibits recognition by FBXO11. Finally, our results show that the functional interaction between FBXO11 and CDT2 is evolutionary conserved from worms to humans and plays an important role in regulating the timing of cell-cycle exit.

CORYDON, Ind. (WDRB) -- The passenger in an ultralight plane that crashed into a tree Friday describes the four-hour wait for a rescue from 60 feet in the air. He also shares home video taken inside the cockpit, after he and the pilot prayed and resisted any movement that could dislodge the plane.
Steve Yahraus of Corydon, Ind., told WDRB News that he and pilot Jim Cutler of Winslow, Ind., realized the plane's metal frame was hooked on a broken, single branch on the tree and tried to be patient as first responders plotted their rescue.
The crash occurred just after 5 p.m. Friday near the airport at French Lick, Ind. Yahraus said he was considering buying the plane from Cutler, hence the flight to learn more about it.
"Well, here we are, about 60 feet above the ground. We've got a good view of the sky. The sunset's starting in here. You can see about 10-12 feet to the top of the tree," Yahraus said during smart phone video he shot in the cockpit, as he and Cutler sat, strapped in their seats, resting on their sides, awaiting rescue.Cutler lost altitude just before landing. Yahraus described the last five or six seconds of the flight."He says, 'We're going in.' And he shut the power off. We probably stiffened our legs a little to bit to brace and, 'shloop'; there it was just that quick," Yahraus said."I had my sunglasses on. Jim had eyeglasses on. They were still on our faces when we come to a rest. Nothing came out of our pockets. There's no scratches on us whatsoever."The plane's frame snagged upon one sturdy, broken branch of a tree. That helped hold it in place."So we prayed, thanked the good Lord for our safe landing in top of the tree, and, 'Lord, keep us there until we get help.' That's all we could say. 'Lord, you kept us alive to this point, that's a miracle, I have no doubt you'll keep us through this whole ordeal.' And he did."Seatbelts held Cutler and Yahraus in place, but at a sixty degree angle. Their legs fell asleep as they looked out at the trees -- and heard, but could not see rescuers below. They could move, but only very gingerly, for fear of dislodging the plane."I knew it couldn't come off the hook, I knew that. But I didn't know if something was going to break, if the tree was going to crack or the branch was going to crack," Yahraus said."The plane weighed close to 900 pounds with us in it, two people and the plane itself. So, we're 900 pounds on a stick of wood, stuck up in a tree."Crews eventually secured the plane with ropes, then used an Orange County REMC bucket truck to bring them back to the ground, one at a time.
Yahraus was lowered to the ground first. He was eager to call his wife Elsie, who had been waiting on the ground. She had come to the airport expecting her husband to enjoy a short flight about a prospective purchase -- and not a treetop rescue.
Cutler did not return a phone message.
The FAA is investigating the incident. The plane was still in the tree as of late Saturday.

In Bolivia, a Vivid Reminder of Why We Do What We Do
by Nicole Duciaume
ChildFund Regional Sponsorship Coordinator
Americas Regional Office
This is my third time in Bolivia over the past five years working for ChildFund. As I sat in the Santa Cruz airport for five hours awaiting my connecting flight to Cochabamba, I reflected on my previous visits.
I had worked for ChildFund for about six months and was asked to accompany a study tour to Bolivia in the fall of 2005. About 15 sponsors and a few members of the international staff spent about a week and a half visiting programs and exploring the country: La Paz, Cochabamba and a side trip to Lake Titicaca. I was honored to act as a translator for a couple from Tampa on the day they met their current and previously sponsored children.
I returned to Bolivia in spring 2007 as part of a small delegation to assess the program viability of entering a new area of Bolivia called El Alto on the outskirts of La Paz. Assessment involved several community consultations and long meetings about program design, funding flows and sponsorship projections. I learned about the benefits and challenges of opening a new program area.
This year I returned to Bolivia to participate in the annual sponsorship training seminar. Among the many discussions aimed at aligning national operations with our global strategy, one of the priority themes was how to encourage the active voice, participation, creativity and self-expression of children and youth in our sponsorship activities and through letter writing.
It's often hard for children in a culture that has more emphasis on oral traditions rather than the written word to express themselves in a letter to people they've never met. It was exciting to hear the various ideas and commitments from the staff from around Bolivia to improve this process for children.
Though the meetings were productive for analyzing priorities and deliverables, one of the best days included a visit to Proyecto Obispo Anaya, one of ChildFund's local affiliates near Cochabamba.
I value the opportunity to get out into the communities and meet the children, families and staff. It puts everything else into perspective. During our brief visit, we learned about a recent campaign launched to "vaccinate" parents and community leaders against mistreating children. Great concept!
We met some children who recently participated in the community's annual talent competition that encourages song, dance, self-expression and sharing of children's opinions. They invited us to join them in a youth leaders' drama production about nature.
We saw information booklets, flags and maps created to help children learn about their sponsors' home countries. Throughout the day, we were reminded vividly of why we do what we do and who we partner with to achieve great things for children in Obispo Anaya, in Cochabamba, in Bolivia and beyond.
A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words
In the first week or so of this series, we've given you a lot of words about where we work. Today, we're going to take a visual break. Two years ago, ChildFund's Documentation Officer Nicole Duciaume visited Bolivia and returned with fabulous photos.
"There is little substitute for seeing an area firsthand and speaking directly with the program participants; personal consultations are what sustain our commitment to the organization, the communities and the children," Nicole wrote while on that trip.
Enjoy the view!
