F is for the Founders' Code by T.S. Welti
Book Blurb: (Image and blurb from Goodreads)
After a year of dodging possessed superhumans, being cooped up in the dorms 24 hours a day feels like pure torture to Parker… until the truth about the people closest to him changes everything.
In this second installment of the Parker Chance Series, Parker finds himself rescued from a monotonous summer on campus when he's whisked away to New York to visit his only family member. His time in New York proves even more boring until he allows his curiosity to get the better of him and he discovers a secret that will fester in his mind all year long. Parker's sophomore adventures at Knobhouse Academy are teeming with encoded rings, encounters with the Infallible Five, water monsters, and frustrating prejudice. The Founders' Code, the action-packed follow-up to The Fifth Specter, is rich in both mystery and heart.

Emily and I decided to hop onto A Hungry Girl's Guide to Taipei today to find a new restaurant to try.
We decided on Macho Tacos because they were recommended by the Hungry Girl…and…drum roll please…they had fish tacos on the menu. And, their prices were on the very reasonable side.
They have hardly any seating and what they did have was all full. Emily and I got our food to go and walked down the street eating three fish tacos, one beef burrito, and one pork taco. I was definitely pleased and truly hope that Macho Tacos makes it here in Taipei. Emily and I walked back after we finished our food and ordered Horchata for dessert. It was excellent!
So now the question is not "can I get decent Mexican food in Taipei", but "which restaurant do I like more: Macho Tacos or Oola Mexican Grill?" Oola isn't bad but they are more expensive and they don't have Horchata or Fish tacos on their menu. I'm a cheap expletive as my friends will tell you so I guess you know which one wins.

Three Monkeys
I haven't had a chance to write about it, having been hunkered down at Tribeca most of the week, but my favorite film of the year thus far opened yesterday in Manhattan and I can't wait to see it again. If you live anywhere near by, do your best to see emerging Turkish master Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Cannes best director winner Three Monkeys. A harrowing tale of grief, betrayal and misbegotten desire, it retains the breathtaking visual style of the director's previous films, but this time integrates the aesthetic into a beautifully structured narrative that is part pot boiler, part Dostoyevsky, with a little hint of magic realism. Here are various critical takes by Mike Tully, Vadim Rizov and A.O. Scott.

Chris Corson is working on another Passive House — this time, with a more ample budget, and a more complex design.
Belfast's Ecovillage isn't your typical development — it's an "intentional community" patterned after the cohousing projects of northern Europe.
The new builder has lofty growth ambitions, made possible by its panelized construction process.
Coastal Connection followed along as Belfast, Maine, builder Chris Corson built his first custom home designed to the strict Passive House standard for new construction.
As the number of parking spots, and lots, grows relentlessly higher, architects search for attractive, multipurpose solutions.
Sealing the air barrier and eliminating thermal conduction minimizes heating loads.
This airtight, superinsulated home was built using familiar methods and materials.

Santo Domingo de Guzmán Travel guide
Santo Domingo de Guzmán : Michelin's recommendations
Santo Domingo has all the trappings of a major capital. Great museums, particularly the Plaza de la Cultura in the modern town; a remarkable architectural legacy from the past in the Colonial sector; a nightlife that takes place between the historic district and the Malecón, a seashore promenade by the Caribbean that is a great favourite with the locals. Santo Domingo is however best expressed and depicted by its 3-million strong heterogeneous, fun-loving and welcoming population. A capital worthy of the name.

(Press Release) Madison—Governor Walker released the following statement today about the flooding conditions in the northwest corner of the state.
"Our thoughts are with all of the people impacted by the significant flooding in the northwest corner of the state." Governor Walker said. "Our greatest concern in severe weather situations is that everyone does what they can to keep themselves and their families safe. We are in constant contact with Wisconsin Emergency Management as they work to assess the damages so we can pursue the best options for recovery moving forward."
Over the past couple of days, parts of Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland and other counties received a significant amount of rain and flooding. Some areas received eight inches of rain or more, resulting in road closures, power outages and damages to roads and homes. In Douglas County, at least 75 homes sustained damages ranging from $2,000 to $40,000.
According to Wisconsin Emergency Management, in Clark County, three people died early Thursday morning in car crash that happened on an area of road that appears to have washed out due to heavy rains.
The Wisconsin Disaster Fund is available to assist with protective measures, debris clearance and road repairs. Municipalities and counties may apply for assistance from the DOT Flood Damage Aid Program, to help with road damages and repairs.

I decided to tan my first deer hide after the 2011 season. After researching the process I decided to go with this tanning formula as it seemed to be easy and hard to mess up. My first hide turned out perfect (after a ton of hard work). This formula is perfect and anyone can use it. I would recommend anyone wanting to tan a hide for the first time or the 100th time use this.

WHAT?! Kids have strong desires to be tan.When I was younger, getting a tan was pretty much my only goal for the summer. That is, until I realized that routine sun exposure would make me look like an old leather handbag someday if I wasn't careful-not to mention that it could lead to deadly cancer.
By Natasha Burton
It's a good thing I traded my baby oil for sunscreen sooner rather than later: According to a company spokesperson for Superdrug, which just released the results of a poll on sun exposure, the average person gets 80 percent of his or her lifetime skin-to-sun contact before hitting age 18.
Related: Scary Truths Tanning Salons Deny
Of course, this means that slathering on the sunblock is super-important when you're young. Only, scarily enough, the Superdrug poll found that 50 percent of children age six to eight are jonesing for a tan this summer and one in five say they won't wear suncreen. Um...where are their parents?
We just hope this doesn't lead to a creation of a Tan Kid. Tan Mom is quite enough for us.

Useful idiots are all upset !
I´m guessing that organizing for action is Obama´s retirement plan. It is made for him, a community activist and will keep him in the public eye.
Groups like CC cheer-led Zero into office. The only advice I can give Mr. Edgar now is to keep his mouth shut or his cat indoors.
I´m sure ´The O´ will get right on that, as soon as he collects a couple cool million to keep M´Chelle well coiffed.
No he needs it for his third term run ala Bloomberg
Asking the corrupt Obamas to stop taking huge finanial bribes and actually live up to their lofty rhetoric?Hilarious!
Hope Edgar and Common Cause enjoy the soon-to-be-scheduled IRS audits.
This is the price America pays for letting Clinton/ Gore slide for what they did during " the most ethical administration". Thanks GOP RINOs.
What Common Cause is advocating sounds so above board, not something that corrupt Chicago pols would be willing to adopt. Propaganda is their game and they are sticking to it.

Casino revenues: Who will resist the temptation?
Last week the state Senate voted 16-8 to bring a casino to New Hampshire. Support came from the usual suspects - Lou "Diamond" D'Allesandro, D-Millenium Gaming, and Chuck Morse, R-Salem, principally - and new converts. Sen. Molly Kelly, D-Keene, for example, is not what one would call a gambling enthusaist. She voted for a casino, she said, because the state really needs the money.
The state's current revenue problems, though, are more economic than structural in nature. Grafting a casino onto the state's revenue structure will not solve them. Though we are not sure how well she gets the first part, Sen. Martha Fuller Clark, D-Portsmouth, was a voice of reason last week in explaining the second.
Casino revenues, she correctly observed, are never as robust as promised, and they are always unreliable. They will be no panacea for New Hampshire's current budget problems, and the tide of other problems that washes in with them will cause trouble for this state forever after.
Though we seldom see eye to eye with Sen. Fuller-Clark, she deserves a lot of credit for refusing to be seduced by the Casino God's promise of revenue riches. The economy's temporary struggles are no justification for permanently changing the culture of New Hampshire. May the House remember that.

Just before 6 p.m. Saturday night, Utah Highway Patrol Troopers received information on a car stolen from a youth home in Moroni.
The suspects identified as a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old from the youth home.
A short time late the car was spotted by a trooper and two Juab County deputies as it came down Nephi Canyon.
The officers tried to stop the car and a chase started.
The car went onto I-15 and exited at the Santaquin Main Street exit, went though the intersection and crashed into an embankment.
The two teens fled on foot but were quickly taken into custody.
There were no injuries from the crash or the pursuit.
Police determined the 15-year-old was driving.
The teens were taken to a nearby correctional facility.

About Me Parent
Comments about Najarian Furniture Hello Kitty 4-Piece Bedroom in a Box:
We went to Toys R Us earlier this year because my daughter was outgrowing her toddler bed. When we took our daughter to the store she immediately felt in love with the bed. We were so lucky to only purchase the bed instead of the entire set. This helps my daughter with the transition from a toddler bed to twin bed. Hello Kitty saved us for sure.

Delivery Disappointment
By LAB
from Saxcramento
About Me Education Oriented, Parent, Thrifty
I purchased this Hello Kitty bedroom set from Toys-R-Us. When contacted for delivery by ESTES, I asked if someone could assemble for me understanding there would be a fee. They would not put anything together for me besides the knobs. They said they would call me back and never did. I had to call them several times. The day before delivery, they called and said they could bring it in the house and put the knobs on it for me for $235.00. No stairs and they only had to move it about 10ft, for 235.00??? I am a single mom who has had 2 back surgeries and needed assistance. This is what they offered. Shocking!!!! I had no problem paying for the service but this was outrageous and a ridiculous amount for a small service. In the future I will NOT purchase any furniture or anything that needs to be assembled from Toys-R-Us. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!
Beautiful Hello Kitty Bedroom Set

See all my reviews
These are made of solid wood. It's heavy so you need help carrying. Easy to put together. A must have for Hello Kitty lovers. We received many compliments from family & friends. For the bed we only used a mattress. You can use the box spring if you want the bed higher. I agree that it is worth every penny!

Saving the planet, one countertop at a time
Like it or not, our lives depend on energy. Lots of it. In fact, the United States alone consumes more than 3.35 terawatts per year, enough energy to run that computer you're reading this from for about 35 billion years, give or take a few million.
In an effort to decrease our environmental imprint and be smarter about how efficiently we're using our energy, several companies have introduced "green" models of their products.

Keswick School's new headteacher
Last updated at 20:31, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A new headteacher has been appointed to take over Keswick School.
Simon Jackson, currently the school's deputy headteacher, will take over from Mike Chapman, who retires after 16 years.
Mr Chapman had planned to retire last summer but agreed to stay on until a suitable replacement was found.
Sarah Peck, chairman of governors, said: "We are sorry to be saying goodbye to Mr Chapman at the end of the summer term.
"He has been an inspirational leader for the last 16 years."
Mr Jackson, who has been deputy head since 2010, will become the eighth headteacher in the school's history.
Mr Chapman took over from Howard Allen in 1995, and he has seen it transformed into a single site, had a visit from the Queen but also had to cope with a school bus crash in which two pupils died in 2010.

Justin is an outstanding business mentor and coach. His work as facilitator of the Personal Trainers Industry Leader's Roundtable is exceptional. I thoroughly recommend him and his programs to anyone wishing to maximise their success.
Justin has taught me to think outside the square in relation to growing my business and managing my team. He has challenged and supported me and with out his mentoring my business would not have achieved 25% membership growth.
I've had the opportunity to meet a lot of successful people, however in my mind JT is definitely an Industry Futurist and leads the way in spotting trends. He has been a fantastic mentor and has really helped inspire and connect me.
The picture tells a thousands words, so we get the concept by looking at the image.

Dimplex commercial air curtain animation
Many commercial buildings lose significant energy through doors opening and closely. By using a fast airstream across the opening, the Dimplex air curtain system can lower energy loss, cut carbon emissions and enhance the sustainable performance of the building. Take a look at the video to see how much difference this cost effective technology can make and how control can be integrated with the energy control systems employed in many buildings today.

Lao Tzu Three Treasures
All the world says my teaching, Tao, greatly resembles folly.Because it is great, therefore it resembles folly.If it did not resemble folly,it would have long ago become petty indeed!
I have three treasures;guard them and keep them safe.The first is love.The second is, never too much.The third is, never be the first in the world.Through love, one has no fear;through not doing too much one has amplitude of reserve power;through not presuming to be the first in the worldone can develop one's talent and let it mature.
If one forsakes love and fearlessness,forsakes restraint and reserve power,forsakes following behind and rushes in front,he is doomed!
The greatest miracle in life is love, and it is the greatest mystery also; greater than life itself, because love is the very essence for which life exists.
Love is the source, and love is the end also. So one who misses love misses all.
But don't misunderstand love as an emotion – it is not. Love is not an emotion, is not a feeling. Love is the subtlest energy; subtler than electricity. The very substratum of all energies is love.
It manifests in many ways. First try to understand love, then the other treasures will be easy to understand.
If you ask me what are my three treasures I will say: First, love; second, love, third also, love. And in fact that is what Lao Tzu is saying – but we will understand.
Man is a trinity, as Christians have called God a trinity. God may be, may not be, but man is a trinity: body, mind, soul. In fact because of his deep understanding of human beings Christ came to say that God is a trinity.
If there is any God he has to be a trinity, because everything that exists has three layers. Hindus call them three gunas, three qualities: satva, rajas, tamas. Christ called them the trinity.
When love expresses through you it first expresses as the body. It becomes sex. If it expresses through the mind, which is higher, deeper, subtler, then it is called love. If it expresses through the spirit, it becomes prayer.
And there is something in you which is beyond the trinity also. Hindus have called that "the fourth," turiya. They have not named it, because it cannot be named.
The three can be named; they belong to the manifest world. The fourth cannot be named; it belongs to the unmanifest. But it is the substratum of all. They simply called it "the fourth," turiya.
In the fourth, love becomes samadhi, nirvana, enlightenment.

If you are a Coke drinker like me, then you are probably familiar with My Coke Rewards. This great program rewards you for being a loyal Coca-Cola fan, and also gives you access to exclusive sweepstakes, offers and promotions. The latest promotion through My Coke Rewards is Coke with Meals.
This spring, Coca-Cola wants to help gather your family around the dinner table with Coke with Meals through My Coke Rewards. Take a cue from the warmer weather and let MCR.com spice-up your mealtimes with featured recipes and how-to videos from Chefs G. Garvin and Ingrid Hoffmann or submit your own recipes to inspire others!
I was recently asked to try out one of the featured recipes, and it was not an easy decision to choose which one I wanted to try. If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed some pins of these great recipes like Lime Chicken with Quick Avocado Salsa and Fastest Ever Chicken Enchiladas. Both of those recipes had several re-pins, so I hope some of you were able to try them out in your kitchen.
Since the theme of this promotion is "Get Cooking with Coca-Cola", I wanted to make something that actually had Coca-Cola in the recipe, so I ultimately chose the Coca-Cola Rice. This recipe called for very few ingredients and looked easy enough to make, even for a super-busy mom like me who doesn't have much time to spend in the kitchen.
- 1-1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3-1/2 cups Coca-Cola
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 3 tbsp sliced or slivered almonds, lightly toasted
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook until it is opaque, about 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the salt to the cola and stir until dissolved (the salt helps to release some of the carbonation) and then add it to the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium- low, cooking until the liquid has almost completely evaporated, about 15 minutes. Stir in the raisins (and the almonds, if you follow the original recipe) and reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Cover and cook until the rice is tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork and serve.
This rice was delicious! We actually made a meal out of it and had it for lunch one afternoon, but it would also make a great compliment to grilled chicken, or even fish. It had a little sweetness to it, and the Coca-Cola gave it great flavor. This was certainly better than any plain rice and I will definitely be making it again!
Visit My Coke Rewards to check out all of the other featured recipes, and make sure you pin or print out the recipes you want to make for your family. While you're there, enter to win a $10,000 Kitchen Makeover and get some great tips on how to make mealtime family time. But hurry, this promotion ends on May 31st!

We hear when the cochlea, in the inner ear, stimulates the auditory nerve. Deafness occurs most commonly when tiny hair cells inside the cochlea are damaged as a result of a genetic defect, infection, loud noise or aging. Cochlear implants bypass the damage by receiving and converting sound into signals sent along electrodes to cells adjacent to the auditory nerve.
Worldwide, more than 40,000 children and adults depend on cochlear implants. Certain hair cells lining the cochlear ducts alongside auditory neurons are tuned to respond to specific frequencies. Therefore, implants such as the Nucleus or the Clarion have from eight to 22 electrodes that surgeons place at different positions to maximize the range of frequency stimuli forwarded to the brain. Recent research indicates that more electrodes won't improve performance as much as optimizing their placement; most implant wearers perceive loudness properly but can still have trouble sensing pitch correctly, making speech comprehension difficult. "Something is preventing the brain from extracting or assimilating all the coding information," says Philip Loizou, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. "We don't know what yet."

- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Here, as in so many places across Italy, hoteliers struggle against the expectations created by their country's treasured history. Ask anyone for their mental picture of a stay on the Lago di Garda and chances are the word "villa" will feature prominently. The flip side, of course, is that there's a tidy living to be made subverting expectations — and a quick look at Vivere Suites and Rooms confirms that this is not exactly the postcard version of the Italian lake country.Six simple modernist suites — four with kitchens, two juniors without — are the entirety of the hotel, and they showcase contemporary Italian luxury living at its most stylish. Once you've adjusted for the style, however, the idea of the place is familiar enough — the classic virtues of hospitality are the same as they ever were. Privacy is in plentiful supply, the accommodations are comfortable and exquisitely crafted, and a hotel this small can't help but maintain a very personal approach to service.The estate is a converted winery, and still serves wine made from grapes grown in the property's vineyards. Some things never change. Meanwhile the lake itself is just minutes away, and all around the Alps beckon. ... more less

The sunglasses look very nice and appear to be of quality materials. Problem is they don't fit well. The glasses are too far forward and off center from my face when I put them on. I've tried bending things around, and made it a little better, but it still doesn't look right.

Rated 1 out of 5 by gonefishn2 Poor Quality
Purchased a pair on 8/10 and didn't notice the lens did not fit the frame. I thought it was a slight defect and returned them to BPS. BPS was great and allowed me to get another pair to exchange; which I did. I looked at the lens and they appeared in good condition. But once again, after less than a days wear, the lens moved and did not fit the frame. These were the mirrored finish lenses. Taking this pair back and request my money back this time. Inspect the lenses thoroughly, make sure they fit the frame and don't move around. I like the metal frames, and the spring loaded hinges for the ear piece, but for the money I can buy two pair of Foster Grants at the big "box" store.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cowboykurt Glasses that work
These glasses looked like the last pair I lost at a fraction of the price. First thing I noticed was spring hinges like my old ones.
The glasses do what the are supposed to do but there is some clarity loss in these compared to my old ones but
they are $40.00 less what can you expect. It's a fair trade off.
Overall their better and clearer than the ones you get off the floor of a big department store for the same price.

MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) — A warm winter has forced Florida wildlife officials to cancel their annual manatee census.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist Holly Edwards says cold weather makes it easier to spot the large sea mammals. Manatees seeking warm water will gather at power plants and natural springs.
Edwards tells Florida Today (http://on.flatoday.com/XfIlRd ) that since the winter has been warm, manatees have stayed too spread out to count.
It's the second consecutive winter that the state has scrubbed its annual manatee survey. The counts began in 1991. They're required by state law, except when weather conditions are prohibitive.
Wildlife officials counted a record 5,077 in 2010. Edwards says the number of manatee deaths from cold stress are down, but the animals are still vulnerable to red tide poisoning and boat strikes.

Martinson Funeral Home
SUTTONS BAY -- "We're becoming a society where we almost think this is an option and unfortunately it's not," said Ranve Martinson, Funeral Director of Martinson Funeral Home.
Martinson is a fourth generation licensed funeral director and embalmer.
"It's very vitally important for them to say goodbye, pay their last respects to their loved one," Martinson said. "We temporarily halt and suspend and preserve the body where it's safe, secure and sanitary for them to do so."
Martinson said people often misperceive what funeral director jobs are really like because of what they see on television.
"It's not dark, we're not a cellar, there's not cobwebs, there's not bats flying around," Martinson said.
From start to finish Martinson preps the deceased to be presentable for their loved ones at the funeral.
"They get their bathing here and it's regular shampoo, conditioner and soap," Martinson said.
She also uses a pigmented chemical which helps make the body look more presentable from the inside out.
"This is part of the solution that helps sanitize but it happens to have some pigmented color to help counteract the paleness and the bluishness and the grayishness that a body normally goes through upon death," Martinson said.
She also applies the make up.
"Some are just peaceful and natural looking anyways and then some because of the medications or whatever they were suffering from it does show in the face," Martinson said. "Some of those cases can take me hours if not over a couple of days."
Martinson said different illnesses and diseases can cause the skin to change colors after a person dies. If the person had jaundice they will have a yellowish skin color. Martinson said people who die from leukemia can have a greenish skin color.
Though her career is just getting started Martinson said she has already had her fair share of odd requests.
"She goes, 'I wanna look like when I was 60, you can do that, turn back 20 years!', and I said, 'No problem!'" Martinson said.
While some of Martinson's work can be a bit tedious, it can also be a bit dangerous. Martinson uses a large magnet to place on top of defibrillators so she knows where it is and does not get shocked while she is working.
Just because people are no longer living, Martinson said the tools and products she uses to prep them are no different from what the living use.
"We have to have the same stuff as a beauty salon and so these are products that you'll find at any drug store," Martinson said. "It's nothing fancy. It's things that you and I use, and if it's good enough for us, then it's obviously good enough for somebody's loved one."
While some may find her job a bit creepy, Martinson said most of her work is actually with those who are still living.
"The biggest thing is helping the families' transition through that loss, because obviously when we pass away we're not going to care," Martinson said.
Because Leelanau County is so small, Martinson said she knows about 85% of the people the funeral home serves.
"That emotionally is tough, very, very tough," Martinson said. "We grieve like everybody else, there are times where I'll be sobbing and it's a tough day at work and I go home and it's hard to decompress. That's your friend or that's your loved one. That is the hardest part."
Though some days can be difficult to get through, Martinson's passion for helping others through the grieving process surpasses the personal grief she often struggles with in her career.
"The driving motivational force behind what I do is, again, to give that person back to their family even if it's just briefly," Martinson said.
Martinson Funeral Home is located at 115 Saint Joseph Street Suttons Bay, MI.
