text: from: Marriage Saver: No Harm Divorce "It's time our courts became more like family hospitals, offering remedies instead of poison, to wounded couples." Marriage Saver: No Harm Divorce The Daily Telegram, Adrian, MI, Thurs., Jan. 20, 2000 by Clark Cothern Judy Parejko wants to change the way divorces are handled. "Our current adversarial court system just doesn't work," she said. Ms. Parejko (Puh-REE-ko) is in the conflict resolution business. Where she works, at The Mediation Center in Menomonie, Wis., (one hour east of Minneapolis), she sees the results of a legal system where divorce lawyers are the only winners. The Mediation Center sees couples for their mandated mediation session--a court ordered event in her area. Some couples do very well, and learn from their single session. Others just sit through it, without making any effort, simply because they have to be there. But Parejko wants to do more for couples. She heard about Stan Posthumus, the New Jersey Mediator Man, who developed the Focused Thinking technique. "Mr. Posthumus used his mediation techniques to help several couples learn how to talk with each other, without fighting," Parejko said, "His purpose for the training was so couples could learn to talk with one another about their kids. But he discovered that about 30% of the couples he had worked with had used their new skills to work through their problems, and had decided to reconcile!" Ms. Parejko wants to take the Focused Thinking mediation process a step further. "I want the courts to get out of the way and let couples become more responsible for their divorce proceedings, including their involvement in mediation. If they will do that, many more marriages can be saved." She proposes a radically new "No Harm" divorce process--one that she believes is far less harmful than the current No-Fault process. "I know there is no such thing as a "no harm" divorce," she said. "Divorce harms everyone. But I am proposing a process that is far less harmful than the current no-fault system." Parejko wants judges to refuse to allow couples to sue each other over their marriage. Instead, they would mutually consent to the terms of divorce in order to complete it without attorneys or court officials interfering with the mediation process. The current adversarial system is not aimed at reconciliation, she said. One side sues the other side, and the lawyers gather into two armies, and there is nothing left to do but fight. But, when a couple is sent to a skilled mediator, trained in conflict resolution techniques like Focused Thinking, they learn to communicate with each other, and they learn to listen to one another without attaching blame to every statement. At the very least, said Parejko, couples who receive this type of mediation are more amiable and less combative through the divorce. At best, they choose to reconcile. Either way, it's a win-win situation. Ms. Parejko believes that our current adversarial system of divorce, which revolves around who gets the kids, could be called immoral, because of the destruction it causes to an already fragile family unit. We simply must find a way to stop this family destruction and instead, offer remedies, like mediation. Parejko would like court officials and attorneys to take a sort of Hippocratic Oath, like doctors, promising to do no harm to the couples in family court. Where does Ms. Parejko's passion for healed families come from? "When I was 8-years-old my mother died. I struggled for years with the thought that maybe I was responsible in some way. When it finally dawned on me that it wasn't my fault, and that I could find freedom from the pain I had lived with, it was a real awakening." She translated her passion for healed relationships into her work. "When I was young, children lost parents to death. Now, more and more kids are losing parents to divorce. I have a real desire to help children avoid the kind of pain I lived with as a child." Her passion is evident in her voice as she says, "I can't wait for No Harm Divorces to be a reality! When that happens, you just watch--it will reduce the divorce rate and restore marriages. It's time our courts became more like family hospitals, offering remedies instead of poison, to wounded couples."

What is MagicWand? It's a cool little accessory that connects Apple's Magic Trackpad to your Apple Wireless Keyboard, creating the sleek, one-piece input device you've been imagining. MagicWand creates an amazingly efficient keyboard you can pair with iMac, MacBook and your Apple home theater setup. Use it on your desk, the sofa or anyplace else you use your Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple's Magic Trackpad.
OS X + Gestures are the future.
Multi-touch gestures are a huge part of OS X and key to the future of Mac desktop control. MagicWand helps you make the most of that finger tapping, swiping technology by partnering your keyboard with the trackpad. Everyday tasks like editing and renaming family pictures in iPhoto no longer require a reach across the desk. With MagicWand, the only thing to pick up and position while using a Mac are your hands.
What is this 'Magic' made of?
Metal-on-metal is never a good idea unless you're in a sword fight. That's why MagicWand is made of polycarbonate - same as a MacBook. This lets you snap your Bluetooth Keyboard and Trackpad into MagicWand without the fear of scratching or hampering the Bluetooth signal. It also means MagicWand is very light. In fact at 45 grams, MagicWand weighs less than 2 AA batteries.
A Zen-like workspace, just like that.
If you like a clean, tidy work environment, MagicWand is a must-have. It's a snap (literally) to set up, and you can position the trackpad on either side of your keyboard (lefty's rejoice). You will now have the ultimate keyboard before you, one that lets you type, click, scroll and swipe.
Mac home theater mission control.
Use your Mac to browse the web and stream videos and movies from sites like Hulu and YouTube? Imagine doing all that with a one-piece keyboard and trackpad in your hands. With MagicWand you can. A nifty H-beam keeps the keyboard in-line with the trackpad so you can use your MagicWand kit on any surface, including your lap or the armrest on the recliner. Your new keyboard is free to roam.
Photoshop - two hands at a time.
When you set up your MagicWand, you can position the trackpad opposite your mousing hand - and use the mouse and trackpad at the same time. Swipe, pinch, and gesture on the trackpad. Use the mouse for more precise actions like drawing and painting. It's the best of both worlds.
Watch the MagicWand Video now.
As seen in:
Key Facts:
- Connect Apple's Magic Trackpad to Apple Wireless Keyboard creating one device
- Position Magic Trackpad on the left or right
- Combine with mouse or tablet for two-handed control of creative apps
- Also available at Apple Store
For those who wish Apple made a Wireless Keyboard with a built-in Magic Trackpad, the MagicWand gives you the next best thing. – Dan Frakes, Macworld (more)
Works exclusively with Apple Magic Trackpad and Apple Wireless Keyboard (not included)

The publicity train for all sides of the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax is making a stop with Dr. Phil this week, with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo revealing more details to host Dr. Phil McGraw.
"Here we have a young man that fell deeply, romantically in love," McGraw told NBC's Mike Taibbi. "I asked him straight up, 'Was this a romantic relationship with you?' And he says yes. I said, 'Are you then therefore gay?' And he said, 'When you put it that way, yes.' And then he caught himself and said, 'I am confused.'"
The two-part interview will air Thursday and Friday on McGraw's nationally syndicated show, Dr. Phil. NBC reports that in the interview, Tuiasosopo claims that Te'o was the innocent victim of his elaborate hoax, as the mastermind used the relationship to satisfy his own emotional needs. Tuiasosopo specifically said the Notre Dame linebacker was "absolutely, unequivocally" not involved in the execution of the hoax in any way.
"I wanted to end it because, after everything I had gone through, I finally realized that I just had to move on with my life," Tuiasosopo told McGraw. "I had to start just living and let this go. There were many times where Manti and Lennay had broken up, but something would bring them back together whether it was something going on in his life or in Lennay's life, or in this case, my life."
Te'o told Katie Couric that he was told about the hoax on Dec. 6 but chose to wait to discuss it until after the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7 out of embarrassment. The Heisman Trophy runner-up finally addressed the hoax after Deadspin reported the story on Jan. 16.

You've heard of "texting addiction", right? It's a syndrome requiring special treatment and drugs — without help it may cost you your life!
I was waiting in line to purchase a few items at Trader Joe's yesterday when I watched and waited for the girl in front of me to finish her transaction. The clerk who rang up her bill was watching and waiting, too, as were three people in line behind me. What were we all waiting for? The girl (lady) was texting someone as we all stood there waiting. Finally the clerk said, "Can you please finish signing your name on your credit card transaction?" She stared at her phone a little longer, made a few taps on it, and then looked over at him and looked down to sign. As she left, the entire line chattered in disbelief that we were all made to wait while she texted. The clerk was amazed the most as he apologized to customers in line for having to wait. "I've never seen anything like that," he said. "She was oblivious to what she was doing and where she was."
After that, I went for a walk at the beach. I said hi to a lady coming right at me, just to let her know she was walking into the path of other people. She looked up from her cell phone (she was texting, too) and tried to get out a word but her mouth was stuck. It couldn't form any words and she couldn't talk. Her mouth just hung open and she looked confused, then stared back down at the phone as she stepped into the street without looking to see if any cars were coming.

IJJ Co-sponsors Hackathon
Computer programmers, nonprofits and journalists will work together to create innovative storytelling platforms from immigration data in Los Angeles, December 8-9.
The hackathon is being coordinated by RDataVox, a nonprofit that seeks to leverage data use for underserved communities.
LOS ANGELES, CA – The world is opening up, and data is everywhere. IBM estimates that we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data every day, and it is expanding faster than anything else we have ever measured. That means data journalism is becoming the future of our society.
As part of its efforts to grow communities of data users and to encourage journalists, NGOs, scientists and programmers to explore opportunities together, RDataVox is excited to announce the first Hackathon on Immigration in Los Angeles.
The 2-day event is designed to demystify "open" data around three simple questions:
•Now that data has been "opened," how can we make the most of it?
•How can we use open software to breathe new life to our data?
•How can we empower journalists to be more active agents in their own communities?
"Journalists are the defenders of freedom. They provide a voice to the voiceless, hold the powerful accountable and empower people to stand up for themselves. Like never before, technology provides journalists unprecedented access to information that will equal the playing field for many of society's most vulnerable-immigrants." expressed Hugo Balta, president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ).
A team of experts from Google and Stanford University as well as journalists from national media outlets will lead the event. Participants will learn how to find, extract, and analyze public data, using open software tools, to tell better-informed stories. Working in teams, they will seek to build the most innovative use and visualization of immigration data.
Registration for the LA Hackathon on Immigration is open until November 20, 2012. The event will be held on December8-9, 2012, at La Opinion's offices in Los Angeles.
"There are some who consider journalism a dead profession and industry. However, similar to the many activities that have been transformed with the advent of the Internet, journalism has evolved with the integration of hard data investigations and personal testimony. For La Opinion, it is very important to be able to work with such an excellent group to combine new investigative journalism with the topic of immigration for the benefit of the entire ethnic community," stated Hilda García, vice president of multiplatform news and information at Impremedia.
"As a journalist myself, it's exciting to have an opportunity to bring our data to life and produce exciting new content. This event will help journalists identify open technology to enhance their stories," noted Claudia Núñez of RDataVox, a former Knight Fellow at Stanford University.
The event's goal is to craft narratives, finding the "human" story through data and interactive support such as maps and applications that are open for use. "Today's reporters need to become computational journalists and learn how to mine data in the public interest. That's why the Press Club is supporting this timely and dramatic project," said Will Lewis, president of the Los Angeles Press Club.
Phuong Ly, director of Institute for Justice and Journalism stated: "We're proud to sponsor innovation that will help promote richer, more fact-based conversations about one of the most important issues of our time."
The event is a partnership with La Opinion, Google, the Institute for Justice and Journalism, Sprint, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the Los Angeles Press Club. "As the first national wireless carrier to introduce 4G in the U.S., advancement and innovation are at the forefront of everything we do at Sprint," said Hector Galvan, Hispanic corporate communications/media relations manager. "We are delighted to be part of RDataVox, an organization that values technological innovation as much as we do,and their first hackathon in Los Angeles."
The LA Hackathon on Immigration is the first phase of a series of future events in Washington, D.C., and Mexico City in collaboration with Datafest. "We journalists tend to be scared of numbers, however using data to tell stories can be easy. In fact, the majority of the data driven stories being done today are done using basic tools like Excel. Those skills can be learned in just one day," stated Teresa Bouza of Datafest.
Balta emphasizes that NAHJ proudly supports the Hackathon on Immigration, which will train journalists in accessing and sharing crucial information by using technological tools. "Journalists can use open data to give the public what they rightfully own –government-gathered information," he said.

How should I structure a solution for a long term project?
+1. @sooprise, don't waste your time trying to figure out what you don't know yet. Projects do tend to call for changes in their layout as time goes by. Plus, what others think of you is none of your business. If you care so much about structuring your project the way they want, by all means go ask them what you should do. Nothing is irreversible, especially since you'll be under source control and with powerful refactoring tools at your disposal. Forget about the mythical clean history: fuck-ups are going to happen, and that's exactly how you learn. |

Information about how much time in spent in a function, based on the input of this function
You are sure right that the debugger somehow knows how to retrieve the values, but who knows what it's doing under the covers. I can guess they have some kind of infrastructure that comes into being when we run code in debug mode. One thing is for sure: with managed code you can't do it in a robust way. One might be able to pull it off using the CLR's unmanaged profiling API, though. But I suspect that would be a tough endeavor as well. |

Using Agile development in a one person team
@davidhaskins: that's correct. Very few know that Agile programming dates back to 1886, thanks to Robert Louis Stevenson. His manuscript "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" is considered to be the seminal work in this field. |

Amount of man hours to write a social network
@Corey +1. Facebook may suck according to some individuals, but since millions around the world seem to think otherwise, I don't see a serious Facebook competitor having a chance to succeed any time soon. As of now, FB is probably "good enough" for a lot of people. That being said, everything can happen. |

Under staffed, bathtub faucet leaked , found out phone was broke when we tried to call to find out where the bathtowels were - they were in the dryer ? ? ?
Easy access, clean and comfortable
It was a little pricey for a Red Roof Inn; bathrooms very small
Came back Saturday night to find none of the towels were replenished. There were no plastic cups. And the bedspread was in a pile on the floor.
Facilities were modern and functional (not luxurious)
Bathroom smelled of cigarette smoke TV had no picture Wifi didn't work Bath didn't drain
Hotel was clean and very quiet. Excellent location for my need to be on Long Island overnight.
Bathroom door stuck. Had to push hard to get out but I booked this room for another stay. Traveled with my adult handicapped son and was disappointed that a handicapped room was much higher priced. Stayed in a regular double room and took our chances with the bathroom but would have been a lot more at ease if bathroom was safer for my son without having to pay so much more for the room.
Overall stay was good
Dogs on the elevator with me. Dog lovers should be on main floor.
Location. Easy access to the parkway and restaurants nearby.
The ice machine and vending machine on our floor did not work. The fire alarm went off at 2 am and there was nothing in the room to tell me how to reach the front desk after the alarm stopped.
Location and the friendly staff
The new design of the rooms isn't kid friendly at all. The sink was too high for small children, not to mention it was surrounded by wood floors. So kids, water from the sink, and wood floors = slips and falls. The bathroom tub backed up and wouldn't drain. When it was fixed then the sink didn't drain. The beds are horrible and feel like you are sleeping on the floor. The Coffee is like dirt and isn't any better in the lobby. Thank goodness this was just a two night stay.
no breakfast
Location, facility
it looked very clean, rented for my family they liked it.
family did not like the T.V was in a corner to one side of room when there were two beds.
Staff was great
this was supposed to be close to Hofstra University.we had to tak e a cab. clientele was truck drivers who milled around the halls, scary no food, no breakfast and absolutely nothing around the hotlel. we had to order pizza to eat dinner since we go in so late. not good meal choices if your family is trying eat healty
close to nassau coliseum
I like everything
close to all the places we wanted to go to affordable free internet and parking easy access from the highway
should have milk for coffee
Floors with no carpet Sink separate from bathroom Safe
It was convenient and reasonably priced.
There were no towels in the room when we arrived. There was very little toilet paper. Each time we had to wait for the things to come up from the front dest.
The beds slept great

Gravity Card hits year 5. Adds Tirol.
Author: Rasoulution | Created: 2012-04-17 06:27:11 | Location: Munich, GR
The association of Europe's leading bike parks to the "GraVity" season card is now for the fifth year a unique offer for all mountain bikers, looking for trail diversity and saving money at the same time. For this season, the last year founded Bikepark Tirol joins the GraVity coalition.
The demand for the GraVity Cards has constantly increased in the few years. Also for the 2011 season: With a plus of 40 percent more sold cards compared to 2010 the bike park providers are very happy and are looking optimistic to the upcoming season: "Given that we increased our sales year after year and we have some faithful regular costumers which enjoy theadvantages from the numerous pros of the GraVity Card for years, we are really proud of our success project. I only can advise every biker willing to get on the trails a few times during the season, to get a GraVity Card. It makes us proud to offer a huge and European-wide range of bike parks", comments Markus Merz, director of the Bikepark Zauberberg.
The benefits of the GraVity Card cannot be denied: It features the entry in eleven of the best-maintained bike parks, spread all over Central Europe, making every biker's heart beat faster. The singular investment of only 360 Euro for an entire season of pure bike action is already charged off after a couple of day trips, for which you can take your time from end of April to the end of October.
Especially for the holiday times hundreds of bikers who didn't want to ride always the same tracks planned their holiday among the eleven GraVity stations, resulting in a diversified and exciting road trip throughout Europe. Moreover no longer queuing up, just get directly on the trails!
This year, the GraVity Bikepark route leads additionally in the beautiful Wipptal in Tyrol, Austria. The newly founded Bikepark Tirol has also joined the association and is looking forward to lots of GraVity Card visitors (For more information about the Bikepark Tirol seebelow)
The GraVity season pass is valid from April 28th to October 28th while the actual hours of operations for the different bikeparks must of course be considered. The prize for the GraVity card is 360 Euro for adults. Anyone born between 1993-1995 only pays 290 Euro, while for children (from age group 1996) the rate is 180 Euro. The card is available at all participating bikeparks; all you need is a small passport photograph.

These resources were developed by the Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme in collaboration with Keele University in order to provide support for teaching aspects of 'How Science Works'. The emphasis of the materials is on 'data, evidence, theories and explanations' linked to 'applications and implications of science', addressed through contemporary science issues. Originally published as a CD-ROM, the pack comprises a set of 18 lessons (six each for physics, chemistry and biology). Each lesson is supported by a complete set of resources, lesson plans, technical advice, worksheets and assessment materials.
The lessons are in Word or PowerPoint format, so that they can be adapted as necessary. The resource consists of three themes, each consisting of several lessons:
• Lesson 1: Cannabis – dangerous or beneficial?
• Lesson 2: Organ transplantation – facts and dilemmas
• Lesson 3: DNA discovery
• Lesson 4: Should we diet?
• Lesson 5: Who did it? (Forensic Science)
• Lesson 6: New medicines
• Lesson 7: Siting an aluminium smelter
• Lesson 8: Alternative sources of energy
• Lesson 9: Global warming – is it real?
• Lesson 10: Chemical warfare – are you protected?
• Lesson 11: The Earth's crust
• Lesson 12: The periodic table
• Lesson 13: The Martian colony
• Lesson 14: Journey to the centre of the Earth
• Lesson 15: Are mobile phones bad for your health?
• Lesson 16: Has the universe always been there?
• Lesson 17: Waves of war (RADAR)
• Lesson 18: Car crash safety
The CD-ROM version of these resources can be purchased from Mindsets.

Naturopaths believe he body has a vital force which allows it to heal itself. An unhealthy lifestyle will upset the body's natural balance causing a build up of toxins in the body. The toxins will weaken the natural force leaving the body open to attack by viruses and bacteria.
Naturopaths try not to suppress symptoms as they believe they are the body's way of healing itself but try to rebalance the body.
The naturopath will first assess a patient's background, medical history and lifestyle before deciding on the right kind of treatments. The treatments chosen will together both detoxify the body and then build up the body, concentrating on its physical, emotional and mental state to strengthen its self-healing powers. The treatments can include a reassessment of diet, herbal remedies and homeopathy, yoga and osteopathy, massage and hydrotherapy.
Helpful for:
- many different kinds of diseases and health problems.

I'll preface this post with two things: first, I'm fifteen; second, you have a bmi of around 24.2, which is still in the healthy weight range. It is perfectly reasonable to be concerned with your body image, adults and teenagers alike. It is also perfectly reasonable to use calorie-count as a tool to help you lose weight. The important thing being that you eat enough. That's one reason so many adults discourage teens from calorie counting, because it's easy to fall into the (WRONGWRONGWRONG) mindset that somehow eating less will help you lose faster. Remember that you need at bare minimum 1500 calories a day. You can probably easily lose eating above that. This is a great website for calculating your bmi and your energy needs, as it is specifically designed for teens: http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/bodycomp/bmiz2.html. As for exercise, a lot of people on here have done great just walking. Others do more intense cardio (swimming, bicycling, running, elliptical trainers) in combination with various levels of strength training. It's finding something you enjoy doing. Keep trying different exercises, try working out at different times (I'm definitely a morning person for exercise) until you find something sustainable. One more thing: I don't know you personally, but 7st/98lbs is a very low weight for someone who's 5'2", it is in fact classified as "underweight". I would think that somewhere around 8st/112lbs would be much healthier and far more sustainable, and even that is pretty low on the bmi range. |

I pretty much always have aubergine and courgette in my fridge plus a leafy/cruciferous vegetable such as cauliflower or cabbage. Those are staples in my diet. Along with low-fat Ziggy's swiss cheese, almond butter, poached chicken breast, and assorted nuts and dried fruits. I have SO MUCH cereal; I love mixing cereals. My meals are pretty structured/automated: breakfast is toast with almond butter and dulce de leche, protein shake, cereal mix. Lunch is a chicken, swiss, salsa, and romaine sandwich (with yogourt or carrots or something). Dinner is very veggie heavy. Snacks are trail mixes and bars. I LOVE bars. I don't know why; I just do. I have dozens and dozens of Larabars, Luna bars, Zone Perfect bars and Kashi bars in my cupboards. |

I'm 15 (16 in December), 5'7", 127-9 pounds, maintaining (I think) on 2000, working out for 35-50 minutes 5-7 times a week. I say "I think" because my weight goes up and down like a see-saw, except with less predictability. EDIT: I saw this was back on the recent replies board, so I thought I'd change the 2000 to 2500, with less exercise. Eat! |

I plan out my food the day before, and prepare it the day before so I don't feel panicked or rushed. For example, I'll measure out my cereal and sandwich components, build up my trail mix, and pack my snacks the night before. (I have to fit in a workout, shower, packing lunch, and eating breakfast so if I'm not efficient with my time, I either have to wake up earlier or miss the school bus.) Instead of giving into cravings, I acknowledge them and figure out how I can fit them into the next day's meals. I'm fairly automated in that I have essentially the same--enjoyable!--things every day. The meals and snacks themselves change but it's basically the same formula. (I have three or four breakfast variations, lunch is a sandwich, dinner is very veggie-heavy.) I work out in the mornings. If I don't get it out of the way early, I will talk myself out of it later. |

I have two things I love to do with straight canned pumpkin: 1: Mix it with cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and a little bit of sweetener, then microwave it and top it with vanilla yogurt and almonds. 2: Pumpkin pie oatmeal! It sounds gross, but is heavenly: it's pretty much the above mixed into oatmeal. |

First off, congratulations on your weight loss! I'm definitely experiencing this at the moment. I've lost a good 47 pounds (3 stone 5, I suppose) and I'm still having difficulties reconciling my mental picture of myself with what I actually look like now. Sure, I know that I've lost inches, because my measuring tape tells me so, and that I'm at a healthy bmi, but I still can't think of myself as anything other than "the fat girl" I've been my entire life. I've realized that it will probably be awhile before I stop thinking of myself that way but there are things that have helped (giving away my old school uniform that didn't fit anymore, seeing old and new pictures, having people remark upon it). |

Similar to what Samantha81 said, I find using my iPod is great for the monotony of my time on the elliptical. I go through the iTunes podcasts and download various (free) runners'/workout music mixes and I create playlists from all of my high energy music. I also enjoy listening to audiobooks; I borrow them from the public library and copy them onto my iPod, then take them off once I've finished them. |

I can sympathise: I was all excited to go to the Doctor's after having lost a good forty pounds. In the span of three minutes I shrank an inch and gained three pounds. I still go by my home scale though, justifying it with the fact that I was fully clothed and had just eaten breakfast. Good job on staying positive and a very enthusiastic congratulations on your fantastic weight loss thus far! |

We know that our children are our future, and as such we must help them become well-informed, compassionate, and multilingual citizens with integrity and a firm cultural foundation. Education, be it linguistic, intellectual, or cultural, is a necessary part of helping children become this type of citizen.
We began this program because we had a great need and nothing like it existed in the area. As bilingual children go to traditional American schools, they typically lose their native-tongues. This presents a big dilemma for bicultural families, single parents, as well as dual income families.
Golestan provides an education that rivals the best progressive programs in the United States, while offering a fully immersed environment where children do not feel self-conscious about speaking Persian/Farsi.
"I have been part of the Golestan family for 6 months now and from my own experience I can say that Golestan kids are different from other kids being raised in the United States. They are the most confident, caring, and compassionate group of children who value the Iranian culture, nature, kindness, creativity, curiosity and are bound to be responsible citizens of our ever-changing, multi-cultural world."

We have prepared some information for customers moving to Melbourne
Melbourne is a large buzzing city, which means a diverse and comprehensive transport system is needed and that is exactly what Melbourne has. Getting around Melbourne is easy due it's extensive range of public transport services.
Melbourne's transport organization is called the Met, and offers tram, bus and train services. You can purchase MetCard tickets from train stations, some newsagents or even onboard. Metcard tickets will work on all trams, trains and buses.
The main mode of transport in Melbourne is via tram. A free tram service called City Circle is available. In fact Melbourne boasts one of the worlds largest tram systems; they're present all over the city.
The excellent thing about travelling by tram is that you can quickly pop in a tram and be taken to another part of the city with no expense to you – it really is an impressive transport system!
City Circle tram travels around the city and then links up with other tram, bus and train routes. City Circle tram travels for around 30 minutes and can take you to many of Melbourne's shopping malls, arcades and tourist attractions.
Even though the tram system is impressive, Melbourne's train system is not to be taken lightly. There are quite a few stations with the main one being Flinders St Station. Travelling by train is perhaps the easiest method of visiting the suburban areas of Melbourne.
As far as Buses go, Melbourne's buses are privately owned. They are not a significant part of Melbourne transport; well compared to some other cities like Adelaide.
However you will often find where a tram or train doesn't go, a bus can take you there.
If your need to catch a taxi they can be easily spotted due to them being a bright yellow colour. Taxis are plentiful and you should have no problems hailing a taxi and having them take you where you want to go.
Travelling by car is perhaps not the best method of seeing what Melbourne has to offer. When compared to smaller cities like Adelaide and Perth, the traffic seems very congested. If you're in Melbourne for holiday, you're better off using the tram and train services.

Cliff Cottage Inn - Luxury B&B Suites and Cottages
Cliff Cottage Inn's Basic Creme Brulee: Dessert
Servings: 5
Prep time:15-20 mins
1/2 cup Pure Cane Sugar, granulated
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
5 Egg Yolks (large eggs)
1 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract (don't use imitation)
1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
Garnish: Fresh Raspberries, Fresh Mint Sprigs
Step 1:
Combine first four ingredients in medium bowl. Whisk with wire whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth. Pour evenly into five (5X1") round individual baking custard or mini-soufflee dishes. Place dishes in large roasting pan filled with about 1/2" of boiling water.
Step 2:
Bake at 275 degrees for 45 to 50 mins. until almost set. Slip a wire rack under the custard cups and cool them in the water in the roasting pan. When cool, remove the cups, cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
Step 3:
Just before serving, sprinkle about 1-1/2 Tablespoons brown sugar evenly over each custard and place them on a cookie sheet, broiling about 5 inches from the heat. (Leave oven door slightly ajar to keep eye on them to avoid burning.) You can also use a kitchen "blow torch" to brown the top in lieu of putting them in oven. Garnish with a few raspberries and a sprig of mint and serve immediately while top is still warm.
Step 4:
NOTE: When I do the top browning, I set the cups back into the roasting pan with ice water up to the bottom half of the cups. I place the roasting pan in the oven on an inverted second roasting pan so that the cups are about 2 inches from the broiler. One of the true delights of Creme Brulees as I enjoyed them while living and traveling in France for many years was taking a bite of these heavenly creations and tasting the wonderful warmed caramelized top while at the same time experiencing the icy interior. From the Cliff Cottage Inn Cookbook by Sandra CH Smith - cookbook includes many variations of the Brulee. Recipe copywrited.
Step 5:
Place the custard cups on a paper doily on one of your grandmother's antique dessert plates, serve with a sweet dessert wine and wait for the rave reviews to pour in!
