Gov. Orders Flags Lowered for Senator Adams
August 14, 2012, Juneau, Alaska Governor Sean Parnell ordered state flags to fly at half-staff on Wednesday, August 15, in honor and memory of former State Senator Al Adams. Senator Adams died Monday morning. He was 70.
I had the great privilege of serving with Senator Adams, Governor Parnell said. He was a masterful legislator who cared deeply about Alaskans and will be remembered for his sense of humor, optimism and commitment to Alaska. I very much enjoyed and respected him in our working relationship. Both Sandy and I will miss him.
Adams, of Kotzebue, served in the Alaska House of Representatives from 1981 1988 and in the Alaska Senate from 1989 - 2000.
Adams served as president of Kikiktagruk Inupiat Corporation; executive vice president of NANA Regional Corporation; member of the Alaska Native Claims Appeals Board; and director of rural development for the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs. Adams also served on the First Alaskans Institute Board of Trustees.
Flags will be lowered on Wednesday and raised to full-staff the following morning.

Mother of boy convicted of Steven Grisales murder 'begging' for help
9:50am Sunday 14th October 2012 in News By Hermione Wright
The mother of a teenager convicted of murdering Steven Grisales is "begging" the community to come forward.
Sandra Espeut, who lives in Victoria Road, Edmonton, claims her 16-year-old son Ochaine Williams is not guilty of stabbing the 21-year-old student in College Close, Edmonton, on August 31 last year.
Williams, Former student of Park View School, in Tottenham, was 15 at the time of the murder, was sentenced at the Old Bailey in June to a minimum of ten-and-half-years.
However, his sentence was extended by a year-and-a-half on Tuesday after Mr Grisales' parents made an appeal of an Unduly Lenient Sentence.
The 47-year-old, who moved with her son to Edmonton from Vicarage Road, in Tottenham, two years ago, believes people in Tottenham and Edmonton know more information about the real killer but are too afraid to come forward.
Reporting restrictions protecting Williams' identity were also lifted by the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday, which Ms Espeut said has devastated his family.
She said: "We are appealing for our friends and for people who know anything to come forward now his name is in the paper.
"They want to help him but no one wants their name to be known, that is the problem we are having. I am begging you to come forward.
"By the name of God we are going to come out victorious – it is going to happen, he is going to come out."
It is believed Mr Grisales confronted Williams and a gang of youths after they started throwing conkers at him when he was walking to Silver Street station.
Ms Espeut is planning to lodge an appeal against his conviction on Monday or Tuesday next week and is in the process of organising marches to publicise her cause.
His 27-year-old sister Camille is also desperate to see her brother freed from the young offender's institution.
She said: "We are not saying that he is an angel; we are saying that he is not guilty of that crime.
"We live in a community and they are scared to come forward, it is ridiculous. It is just the society we live in; everyone is trying to look macho."
Williams told her that the only way he can survive inside is to "block out" what has happened.
Pastor Pat Agdomar, who has worked as a minister with the Edmonton-based Glory of the Cross for more than 30 years, is supporting the family.
He said: "The family are fair-minded people who really want to make it known that they really feel for the other family.
"It is a tragic thing for both sides but all we are looking for is for justice to be done and we are very sorry for their loss."
The pastor, who campaigns against gun and knife crime in Enfield, said both teenagers are victims and the "fear factor" is preventing people in the community from coming forward.

Marathon man's
Ness truimph
Lloyd has spent a fortnight negotiating a 26-mile stretch of the murky Highland loch in the 120lb outfit.
As he emerged, Lloyd said it had been a hard journey but he was happy it was all over and that it had been worth it.
When he stepped out of the water at Lochend, near Inverness, he said:
"I've had to cope with poor visibility, which has at times been nil, I've had to work against the resistance and the pressure of the water."
"You don't know what's underfoot - sometimes its mud, silt, rocks or nothing."
"The airline also kept getting caught and I also had to deal with a build-up of carbon dioxide in the helmet. It's also very cold and very lonely."
He added:
"It's definitely been far more difficult doing it underwater than it has been on land."
Lloyd, a former firefighter and professional footballer, spent more than a month training and qualifying as a diver for the bid, to raise awareness for a major fundraising drive for the charity Children with Leukaemia.
Lloyd, who won a battle against leukaemia himself, began his journey on September 28 at the opposite end of Loch Ness in Fort Augustus.
His risky attempt has not all been plain sailing.
Last week he injured his shoulder when he fell 25ft off a 300ft ledge while in the Loch.
His diving support team had to rescue him by pulling him up on a safety line.
But, as well as raising vital charity cash, his completion of the challenge has set a new world record for the first underwater marathon of Loch Ness.
Lloyd attracted a huge amount of publicity for Children with Leukaemia's - Children's Marathon Challenge fundraising campaign.

Duke football injury report vs. Florida State
LB Chris Hoover (lower body)
S Garrett Rider (upper body)
QB Thomas Sirk (leg)
WR Jack Wise (upper body)
S Anthony Young-Wiseman (leg)
OT Tanner Stone (leg)
DT Jamal Wallace (leg)
Breakdown: Again, it appears the football gods are on Duke's side. The Blue Devils made it through the season-finale with no major injuries and will head to Charlotte for the ACC championship game as a relatively healthy football team. After being listed as questionable last week with an arm injury, defensive end Jonathan Woodruff is off the injury report this week. Barring any freak incidents, the Blue Devils should have all starters available for Saturday's matchup with the No. 1 Seminoles.

President Obama narrowly won the state in 2008 the first Democrat to do so since 1976.
Now the campaign.
Hoping for a repeat and holding the convention there could provide an edge.
Poll showing the president governor Romney running neck and neck in North Carolina Mike Emanuel with the news live in Charlotte tonight and Mike.
Bring on the national convention we know we just thought obviously a huge undertaking is this -- -- Harris they seem to be they're making the final touches as our our technical experts who are gonna allow us to broadcasted live officials say.
It was a huge job it took seven weeks for the work crews to transform the Time Warner Cable Arena from an NBA home court.
To a state of the art convention hall the Democrats will take center stage in the coming days and then these work crews get three weeks to transform the hall back.
To the home court of the Charlotte Bobcats Paris.
Obviously Democrats will fire back at the Republicans what kind of -- to think that today.
Well interesting because.
The Republicans essentially label President Obama during there convention as a nice guy.
But his policies have failed we expect the Democrats will fire back essentially saying that Mitt Romney.
Doesn't have any new idea as.
Today we got a bit of a preview in Ohio -- Vice President Biden.
But they didn't say but for the sacrifices.
You all may.
And the courage of the present -- United States although GM plant to be close here all across the country.
Auto workers who have an added to their roles -- reorganization.
Would not be working women -- lost -- -- -- job.
That's just a small preview of what we will hear when the Democrats take Charlotte.
In the coming days Paris.
Mike Emanuel thank you very much and vice president Joseph Biden today also taking aim at Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan.
He says for linking President Obama and at the closure of a GM factory in Wisconsin he says congressman Ryan quote wasn't on the level.
You work congressman Ron I don't know why -- -- -- -- it has started straight.
Blame the closing of a GM plant and -- -- hometown of Janesville.
I'm the president not state what he didn't tell -- is a plant in Janesville actually told him President Bush was still -- All right let's take a look at -- regional comments there from congressman Ryan.
Candidate Obama said.
I believe that if our government is there to support you this plan will be here for another hundred years.
That's 472008.
Is it turned out.
That -- last another year.
Is locked up an -- to this day.
A spokesperson for mr.
Ryan defending the remarks saying quote.
The president inherited a troubled economy but he's not made it better he has made it worse with fewer jobs and lower incomes for middle class families and quote.

Building a development system from ARM Versatile Express boards minimizes project setup time and allows the developer to concentrate on the task in hand - testing and validating the product IP and software, rather than designing and debugging the development system.
Versatile Express features a brand new bus architecture that improves bus/memory throughput over previous ARM development board families. The ARM Test Chip AMBA® AXI™ buses are directly connected to the user expansion FPGA, giving greater architectural accuracy and minimizing bus latency.
The Motherboard Express uATX has been especially designed to support future generations of ARM processors. It includes all the necessary peripherals that enable you to port, prove, and develop operating systems and applications for new processors and graphics engines. Through a range of plug-in daughterboards, hardware and software applications can be developed and debugged.
The CoreTile Express daughterboard is used together with the Motherboard Express µATX for evaluation, benchmarking and prototyping with the Cortex™-A15, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A5 processors. The on-board DDR2 SDRAM and CoreLink LCD controller enhance system throughput.
Soft Macrocell Models (SMMs) are an early access alternative to CoreTiles, based on LogicTile FPGA technology. Before a new processor is available in hardened silicon, it can be provided as an SMM.
LogicTiles provide custom logic expansion capability for the Versatile Express system. They enable peripheral prototyping, validation and software device driver development alongside an ARM processor - prior to the SoC returning from the foundry. This reduces the risks and bring-up time of the product by having tested IP and software device drivers ready. A choice of boards with different sized FPGAs and stacking capabilities enables the IP developer to construct a development system that matches project requirements.
The Versatile Express Support Package is available on the ARM self-serves portal under Downloads\Development tools\Versatile Express.
Board Combination | Description |
Motherboard Express + CoreTile Express - Software development platform with a choice of Cortex™-A5, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A15 CPUs. CoreTiles utilize an ASIC or structured ASIC for the CPU test chip. | |
Motherboard Express + Soft Macro Model - An SMM can be used in place of the CoreTile to provide support for other ARM processors, such as the Cortex-A57. The SMM is an FPGA implementation of an ARM CPU. | |
Motherboard Express + Core Tile Express + Logic Tile Express - Adds a large FPGA for custom logic and IP development or validation. A choice of three Xilinx-based LogicTiles is currently available – boasting either 3M,13M or 30M equivalent ASIC gates. The Logic Tile Express 20MG board can be stacked up to eight high, which provides a cost-effective route to a large amount of FPGA expansion space. | |
Custom Interface Tile - ARM provides example designs for an I/O interface board. This can be used as a template for building a custom board that mounts on top of the Logic Tile Express stack, to give extra connectivity to the user environment. |
Board Combo | Motherboard Express + CoreTile Express | Motherboard Express + Soft Macro Model |
Cortex-A57 |
LogicTile Express for Cortex-A57 (SMM-A57x1) |

So, I want to declare my undying love for chocolate… and now how I will always smell, and look like it - well… my hair will at least.
See, when I was growing up, I had a cousin Maryann, with amazing CHOCOLATE brown hair; think rich, dark chocolate. I would always tell her, at the tender age of 7 most likely, "Maryann, I love your chocolate hair!". It was a running joke for a long time - she still has that beautiful hair!
Growing up, I went from my natural, to red, to blonde, to almost black, brown and then finally SUPER blonde as some of you have seen.
Well, the blonde killed my hair, and I buckled down, cut it, grew it out and dyed it back, after tons of breakage and losing all my length. Needless to say- my hair has gone through many changes throughout the years. And it will still take another year for it to even be semi normal. Still fighting that breakage :)
Well have no fear, chocolate is here!!!
My natural hair is oily, and now I have found THE best dry hair shampoo. It's so easy you can make it yourself. All you need is a few ingredients!
Chocolate Dry Shampoo:
1. 2 TBSP cornstarch <— the only thing us Paleo's will use it for :)
2. 5 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder. Use the DARK chocolate version if you have actual chocolate brown hair :)
3. Shaker container with fine holes
For blondes, Just use the corn starch.. this would probably work for redheads too, although I'm sure you could crush up a pastel crayon in your color (if you felt comfortable with that! - Just make sure you get the right shade)
Make sure you don't wear a shirt that you care about when you're doing this, especially for us chocolate brunettes :)
Shake on oily parts - usually close to the scalp and tousle gently with your fingers. Brush out with a fine brush - i.e. boars head bristle - to get the excess powder out.
And voila! you will smell wonderfully of chocolate.
There are recipes online where you can add the essential oil of your choice, but, I obviously want to smell like chocolate :)
The cost on this is amazing, since cocoa and corn starch are very cheap in comparison to the dry shampoos on the market. Most of them have aluminum and other harsh chemicals in them, this is the perfect solution to that.
Hope y'all enjoy :)

The flooding chronicles
To the background music of country pianist Floyd Cramer performing Simon and Garfunkel's hit song from the 1970s, "Bridge over Troubled Water," and a mix of country, gospel, reggae and pop, Howard Blegen narrates a story of despair, of third-, fourth- and even fifth-generation families who are losing their homes to a flood that started 17 years ago and has not gone away.By: Kevin Bonham, Grand Forks Herald
CHURCHS FERRY, N.D. — "The past several years have been heartbreaking for many families as, one by one, homesteads that have been around for 120-plus years are slowly devoured by a hungry and cancerous-like flood and have been or soon will be abandoned."
To the background music of country pianist Floyd Cramer performing Simon and Garfunkel's hit song from the 1970s, "Bridge over Troubled Water," and a mix of country, gospel, reggae and pop, Howard Blegen narrates a story of despair, of third-, fourth- and even fifth-generation families who are losing their homes to a flood that started 17 years ago and has not gone away.
"They have been consumed by a flood that moves slowly, nibbling away at a community of farm families who have worked for generations to build up a productive farm area," Blegen chronicles.
"Eating away and gradually destroying that which our grandparents and parents worked all their lives to build up — a neighborhood of friends and family, where the coffee was always on and a lending hand was always extended.
The video shows water-covered roads and bridges, fields and farmsteads, both from the air and the ground, as a musical medley plays in the background:
- Connie Smith's "It Only Hurts for a Little While."
- Danny Gaither's "Tears Are a Language."
- Johnny Cash's "Five Feet High and Rising."
- Gaither Vocal Band's "Build an Ark."
- The Statler Brothers' and Cramer's versions of "Precious Memories."
- Jimmy Cliff's "Hard Road to Travel."
- And "It's Not an Easy Road" from the Country Hymnal.
"Picturesque farmsteads — that once stood surrounded by trees, shrubs, green grass and flowers, where gardens flourished, children ran and played, dogs chased the cats, and the sunsets were gorgeous — have been replaced with drowned out trees, muskrats and cattails."
Spreading the word
Blegen, who grew up on the family farm a few miles south of Churchs Ferry, recorded a DVD he calls "The Demise of a Community" this past summer, as the elevation of Devils Lake reached a record 1,452.1 feet above sea level.
He didn't plan on the recording, at least until he saw the landscape from above this summer.
"I wanted to see it from the air, and to take pictures," he said. "I sat most of the time with my mouth hanging open, rather than taking pictures."
So, he talked with some friends and neighbors, gathered other photos, and put together a video.
They've been seeking state or federal help, some way to relieve the flooding, to move more water downstream, or for some kind of compensation to help them move away and start over.
Blegen made 600 copies of his DVD and has distributed it to state and federal officials.
"My hope is that somebody, some day, we'll reach somebody in power who will realize what is happening here and will find a way to help us," he said.
27 families and counting
Devils Lake has risen by almost 30 feet and quadrupled in size since 1993, taking more farmland every week in the spring and summer. And as the newly formed ponds began to freeze this past week in the fields and farmyards of Blegen and his neighbors, they wonder how much longer they can hold on.
Devils Lake usually drops in the fall, as evaporation outpaces the incoming flows from the 3,800-square-mile upper basin. But that evaporation has been minor this year. The lake is freezing at about 1,451.3 feet, with the prospect of rising to 1,453 or even 1,454 feet next year.
At least 27 rural Churchs Ferry families have been forced to move from a small area that measures maybe 10 miles by 4 or 5 miles. The video lists their names, with Tom and Betty Moen the latest, when the recording was made this summer.
"They just packed up and left," Blegen said. "They didn't want to deal with the water and the mud."
Another 10 likely will be forced to go by early next summer.
One of them is Arden Helgeseth. He raised cattle for years. But today, his feedlot is covered in a two-foot pool of water. A half dozen grain bins sit in water on the farmstead.
Many of their homes are intact.
In the 1880s, when the region was settled by European-Americans, the Mauvais Coulee connected Churchs Ferry with Devils Lake. But it was a waterway, not a massive lake.
Many settlers built their homes on land high enough to be out of danger as the lake elevation nears its natural spill elevation of 1,458 feet. But the farm fields and the roads that connect them have been disappearing for more than a decade.
"I wish someone would come up with a word other than flood. People hear the word and they think about a river flooding, coming up fast and then going away. This doesn't go away," Blegen said this week.
"It wears on you. How can you measure the toll on the families? "Some say that these people out here are in their 70s and 80s, and it's time to move into town. But losing your home like this, watching all you've worked for all your life, it takes a toll."
Some federal acquisitions
The federal government bought out most of Churchs Ferry, the nearest community, a few years ago. Neighboring Penn, N.D., is going through a federal acquisition program now, with 11 of the 16 houses eligible, as swelling groundwater infiltrates septic systems.
A few miles to the south, the lake is slowly taking Minnewaukan, N.D., which recently received a $6 million federal grant to build a new school on higher ground. The city also has approved a new business and housing development across the relocated U.S. 281, while keeping the core of downtown intact.
More than a dozen families have been forced to move away from Minnewaukan. They were part of a federal flood mitigation program in which the government acquires and destroys their homes. Some of them bought back their homes and moved them out of harm's way.
Yet, for people in rural areas, time is running out.
Where does it end?
As he drove south this week from Churchs Ferry on old U.S. Highway 281, which was closed to through traffic several years ago, Blegen talked about the encroaching Devils Lake.
"Here's a farmstead that's under water. Here's another," he said.
Seven of the eight bridges that cross the adjacent Mauvais Coulee, one of the main sources that feed upper basin water into Devils Lake, are closed.
Farmers have to drive 23 to 24 miles out of their way to reach their land on the other side of the coulee.
Even the eighth bridge had water flowing over the top this past summer.
A bridge on old Highway 281 is showing signs of stress, he said, and neighbors fear it could be washed out in the spring. This past week, water still was splashing against the side of the bridge at the roadbed level.
The Leeds Public Schools school bus ran last winter, but not in spring or fall, because water or muddy roads blocked access. This school year, the bus is not running at all.
Blegen described how his children, and those of his neighbors, are forced to drive to and from school — often in the dark — on muddy, water-covered roads or through farm fields.
"When you see your wife sitting in the kitchen after dark, waiting for the kids to come home, driving through water, it's tough. It's difficult," he said.
"My blood pressure's up. My doctor says I'm suffering from depression," he added. "There's just no fun anymore. It's not just me. It's my neighbors. We're stuck. Hopefully, we'll be able to survive. But if the lake gets to 1,454, I'm done.
"They keep telling us there are no federal programs for us. How can they — and we don't know who 'they' is — let this happen? There are no buyouts. No major roadwork. If the lake is encroaching on you, shouldn't there be some compensation?
"How do you convince me that they — and again, who is 'they'? — don't want to use this entire northern basin for wildlife? It's already happening. If this keeps going, they'll get it. They'll get it all, for nothing."

1972—Established as pre-eminent communicators and visual masters of their day, the Eameses were asked by Polaroid to make a promotional announcement about the SX-70, the camera that would revolutionized instant film. As would be expected from Charles and Ray, the film went beyond advertisement and spoke to the unique splendor of photography. (via Eames House Timeline)

My Dad had this exact camera, and used it to great extent for almost 20 years in his engineering business. Very cool!

Wow.. I really really enjoyed that.
It was a mix of biographical, geographical and documentary..
It always makes me smile to see businesses going beyond the subpar business video, whether in the past or present.

Kate MacLeod
Kate MacLeod
Although not well-known nationally, Kate MacLeod is an expressive singer and prolific songwriter who has been playing the folk circuit in the '80s and '90s, and can also handle bluegrass and traditional Celtic music. MacLeod, whose folk and folk-pop has often favored softness and subtlety, grew up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. but moved to Salt Lake City in 1979 at age 18. MacLeod became a familiar face on the Salt Lake City music scene, and she spent ten years teaching at Peter Prier's Violin Making School of America. In the mid '90s, MacLeod signed with Waterbug, a small folk-oriented label based in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, IL and went on to record Trying to Get It Right (her debut album) in 1995 and Constant Emotion in 1997. In addition to performing and recording as a solo artist, MacLeod (who plays acoustic guitar, harmonica and fiddle) has played traditional Celtic music with the Utah group Shanahy. Then, in 2001, Feel the Earth Spin became her third solo album. The next year, a collaboration with Kat Eggleston led to Drawn From the Well, a tribute to artist Joseph Velasco that included several original tracks as well as covers. Her songs have been recorded by artists ranging from folk singer Molly O'Brian to the bluegrass band Loose Ties. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi

Hey Neck (and all you other IML fans),
After my last run of S-DMZ (before the re-formulation) I was thoroughly impressed with IML products. My goal was to run the Big Dog stack, but unfortunately S-DMZ was reformulated before that could happen. Now, I am willing to give the new formula a shot, but I figured why not give Halo a solo shot and see what happens?
I'm going 8 weeks at the following dosage:
Halo - 100 - 100 - 100 - 125
Anabolic Matrix - 2/daily, 8 wks
Advanced Cycle Support - 2/daily, 8 wks
Ultra Male - 1/daily, 8 wks
E-Control - 3/daily, wks 6,7,8
Other Misc. support supps daily - fish oil, milk thistle, hawthorne berry, mutli-v
I have clomid on hand in case.
My goal is always to get bigger. On Halo what I'm looking for is shedding of some BF and some lean muscle gain (aka "beach body" cycle). Currently at 255. No current BF measurement but after my DMZ cycle it was 16%. I'd say theres some dirty weight over that now, best guess would be 18 - 19% range. If online calculators are to be believed I'm at 19.87%.
As it is, I don't recommend this for a beginner. Also, I'm not exactly logging this (don't have the time for proper logging), but I will keep the thread updated best as possible over the next 8 wks.
Comments or questions are welcome!
Thanks again for your awesome products Neck (and other IML reps)!

March 28, 2011 by spoonfork · Leave a Comment
As some of you may have already known, HSKL is one of the thirty hackerspaces from around the world participating in the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge.
What is the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge?
Thirty hackerspaces around the world will be chosen to participate in the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge to create something cool and useful for education. Each of the thirty spaces that complete their project will receive some nice soldering setups so that they can better teach how to make cool things with electronics. These thirty hackerspaces will each get $900 and two months to finish their project. Three finalists will be chosen to show off their projects live (in person, or virtually) at the San Francisco Maker Faire May. A panel of geeks will pick the one they think is coolest, and the winning space will win a handmade trophy and bragging rights, and perhaps some other way cool stuff.
What are the prizes?
- For participating and completing the project: USD900 and a set of soldering equipment
- Semi finalists: Fluke 233 DMM (worth US$300) , Fluke 381 Clamp Meter (worth US$500), Tektronix PWS4205 Power Supply (worth US$865), Agilent HH DMM (specific model TBD)
- Winner: Tektronix MSO2024 oscilloscope (worth around US$5,600)
Who are the 30 participating hackerspaces?
We are one of the four hackerspaces from Asia. The others are: Hackerspace Singore, Tokyo Hackerspace and Xin Che Jian (Shanghai).
What are we building?
Our project for this challenge is called The Story Box. It is a simple battery-powered device that display random word, and students create sentence containing the word.
How do I participate?
Be a member!
As part of the challenge guidelines, we are required to document our journey at the element-14 community portal. So here goes:
- Our Great Global Hackerspace Challenge Entry
- A short but concise description of the Story Box. It is also documented in the wiki.
- Our make process
- The Great Global Hackerspace Challenge at element-14

Several studies have shown that shoes aren't always good for the development of human feet. We need to go barefoot to build strong foundations for later life. But skin is soft and floors are cold, which is where the Nowali moccasin tiptoes in. The handstitched leather soles are tough enough to protect and warm tiny feet but also supple, so that tootsies can flex and grip the ground. For the above, Nowali knits Oeko-tex 100 yarn into a traditional pattern from the 1950s. Åke Johansson's 60-year-old firm puts baby feet first.

There will be no cries of boredom in our house this summer because I am prepared this year. I have come up with 100 activities to do this summer and I am sharing my list of 100 activities to do with you through Pinterest. We have everything from hot air balloon making, to Netflix origami, to breakfast in bed, to making individual pizzas on the grill, to making the world's largest bubbles, to creating your very own water park. The possibilities are endless and the majority of the activities cost next to nothing to create.
I am not a crafty parent. I can be crafty on my own, but not always the craftiest with my kids. I really, really try, but I find that crafting with my kids is a challenge. I want to overcome that challenge this summer and be the cool mom for once. Many times I find myself at my computer typing these ideas for others, but not trying any ideas myself.
This summer is going to be different.
Instead of just coming up with ideas for our readers, I am looking forward to actually tackling our summer list. I still will be sharing a weekly recipe, our apron full of giveaways, and our notebook of inspiration. I won't ever quit you, MomAdvice friends!
On Tuesdays though, I will be sharing what we are working on from our summer list through mobile pictures and quick notes on what fun activities we are doing at our house. I am hoping it will be an inspiration to you to get out and enjoy the summer with your children. I can't say we will tackle a hundred activities, but I will be awfully proud if we do one cool activity a week. You can catch me on Instagram, fellow iPhone users, where I am documenting our summer with my new phone. My name is momadvice.
I hope you will enjoy our laid-back inspiration this summer! I want to enjoy every moment I have with these two kids- my time with them feels fleeting and precious.
Next school year, I will have whole days to type away.
This summer, I am loving my mom job all day with them.

Data show fewer students apply to Skyline, while Community High's waitlist continues to grow
Daniel Brenner | AnnArbor.com file photo
Thursday and Friday are the final days for Ann Arbor to apply for out-of-boundary seats at Huron, Pioneer, Skyline and Community high schools.
Freshmen who live within the Ann Arbor Public Schools district can apply to any of these high schools this year, regardless of the high school attendance area in which they live.
Officials opened enrollment at Huron and Pioneer to 25 out-of-boundary students through in-district transfers for the first time. Skyline and Community again have open seats, 100 and 114 respectively, for fall 2013.
The deadline for students to apply to Huron and Pioneer is Thursday and the deadline for Skyline and Community is Friday. At Community, students are selected via lottery. A lottery also will take place at Huron, Pioneer and Skyline if more students apply than there are seats available.
Skyline sophomores hoping to participate in one of Skyline's four magnet programs also must apply by Friday.
Skyline's magnets and the school's structure for fall are in limbo due to the district's impending budget cuts.
Ann Arbor Public Schools faces a deficit of about $17 million for the upcoming school year. District officials have proposed changing Skyline from a trimester schedule to semesters like Ann Arbor's other comprehensive high schools.
It is unclear how the uncertainly of the trimester schedule and magnet programs could affect the number of applications Skyline receives for fall. However, the number of out-of-boundary students applying to and enrolling at Skyline has declined consistently since the school opened.
In 2008, 221 students applied to Skyline via in-district transfers; 100 students eventually enrolled. By 2010, there were 164 applications and 94 enrollees. For the current school year, 113 out-of-boundary students applied to attend Skyline and 72 enrolled.
From AAPS
In-district transfer students are responsible for providing their own transportation, so that also could play a role in whether an applicant ends up enrolling, Margolis said.
From AAPS
He added the newness of the school, physical appearance of the building and technology access at Skyline also could be factors in someone choosing Skyline in lieu of another high school.
Currently, there are 432 students in Skyline's magnet programs: 121 in Health and Medicine; 108 in Business, Marketing and Information Technology; 104 in Communication, Media and Public Policy; and 99 in DTEP.
Thirty new students per magnet are accepted each year. If more than 30 apply, a lottery is conducted to fill the seats.
For the 2009-10 academic year, 335 students applied to one of Skyline's magnets. In 2011-12, 170 sophomores applied and prior to the 2012-13 year, there were 270 applications, according to data provided by the district.
Community High School received a record number of applications last fall, 440. Community, unlike Ann Arbor's three comprehensive high schools, is entirely a choice school. There is no residence boundary for Community.
To apply to Community, students must attend an orientation meeting. The last orientation meeting is scheduled for 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday at the school. Community's random lottery drawing will take place Tuesday.

I have recently found myself in the midst of a cultural slump – way too many nights in, pants astrewn, watching How I Met Your Mother and laughing (!). So I have thus embarked on a bit of a quest of cultural rejuvenation, if you will, and have gone to a few literary readings, and I have felt pretty fancy schmancy. But I haven't really felt artistic. I felt austere, but never present. Never real. Then I stumbled – literally, it was raining out and my shoes were wet and I sort of crumbled into my seat – onto Tuesdays in the Pool Room.

I first saw J. Cole perform at a tiny, intimate show in Seattle four years ago. This still stands as one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
J. Cole is an incredibly personable artist, who I think performs best – and whose music is best tailored to – small audiences where he can peer into every member's eyes and deep deep deep into their souls. Well, I guess fame is a double-edged sword, right? You wish the best for your darling artists at the peril of getting lost in the masses of new fans.

We have been working on this problem for a couple years. How to live in polite society without using either deodorant or anti-perspirants. We are convinced that the way many anti-perspirants work, using aluminum to stop your pores to prevent you sweating and therefore to keep you smell- free is bad for your health.
From what we've read, there seems to be a growing body of research connecting aluminum as one of the culprits in Alzheimers. It certainly would explain the incredible rise in this disease – looking at the time period from the mid-1950′s when it became fashionable to give a bride and groom a set of aluminum pots as a wedding present. I can remember those shiny pots displayed prominently on the gift table and everyone just ooohing and ahhing over them – and then came the vicious rise of Alzheimer's. There is some admission of that – although through the back door – by the companies which manufacture these pots because they are now marketing pots as having an aluminum "center" fully enclosed rather than being all aluminum.
Trying to get rid of body odor without using either deodorant or anti-perspirants has been a tough experiment. We have tried everything we heard from everyone who wrote to or called us and nothing worked over the long haul – (read: playing games, hiking, walking fast, high stress situations, etc.).
We tried bathing two and three times a day. That worked, sort of, but only if you engaged in no strenuous activity, kept yourself stress free, etc. If you didn't, in a couple hours you began to smell as though you hadn't bathed for days.
We also tried massaging Olive Oil under the arm pits. Then we tried Avocado oil under the arm pits. And then we added different essential oils after rubbing in the Olive Oil and we tried essential oils without rubbing in the different oils putting the essential oils directly on the skin. All of our trials broke down after a short period of time and your friends had to be very forgiving to stay around you for even five minutes.
While watching one of the Dr. Oz television show segments, we discovered the answer AND IT WORKS!!! Organic Apple Cider Vinegar splashed under your arms after you come out of the shower or the tub. It works totally. Several of us have been using it for a while now, including a few of you who contacted us after our blogs on going deodorant or anti-perspirant free. We have all had good results. In addition, I also splashed the organic apple cider vinegar on my face after putting on Avocado Oil and the finish was spectacular. If you try this, be super careful of your eyes. I missed my face and my eyes burned something fierce. That didn't stop me from continuing to try this because the results were spectacular.
I remember a book that I used to swear by when in my 20′s and 30′s and for reasons I don't remember just lost track of it. I had a hard time keeping a copy of the book in my library because every time someone saw it they had to have it so I kept buying and re-buying the book just to keep it around. Today, I don't even remember the books title. It was written by a man (I think) who was an apple cider fanatic. He talked about the old way of doing things and much of his life centered around this product which he claimed was the secret to good health and long life.
During that time frame, I would alternate between squeezing a lemon into a little warm water in the mornings as my first drink of the day with a little organic apple cider vinegar in water as my first drink of the day. With the organic apple cider vinegar I always felt super clean. With the lemons I felt as though I was burning every germ out of my digestive tract.
I also remember, when douching was popular among women. Many women used apple cider vinegar in their douch bags instead of the commercial preparations. So that has been around for many uses for generations. You could tell the women who used the commercial preparations because they smelled like a hospital for hours.
My great-grandmother used it to clean her house along with Olive Oil and that was all she used. She also used it on herself in her bath and all over. She did the same thing with Olive Oil. She didn't smell of apple cider vinegar, but her house had a very distinctive odor – however, she also didn't have mold, mildew, bugs, etc. Those insects couldn't live in her house after that constant onslaught of natural germ killer. That has to be why organic apple cider vinegar works so well to keep you body odor free. No germs left to eat the sweat and let out those horrible odors for others to smell.
Try it and let us know your resuts! Also let me know if you think of the name of the book I've lost.
We had more response from our blogs on trying to use something other than deodorants and anti-perspirants than anything else so we know how most of you are trying to live and hope we contribute a little bit to a healthier lifestyle.
I am deligthed with the result. Not only because I don't smell anymore, but especially because I feel so clean after I've splashed my underarms with organic apple cider vinegar. That loud sigh of relief you hear is coming from my friends who have been most tolerant and I thank them for their patience and perseverance. Now, I know my really true friends! The rest of you were fair-weather friends for not being able to tolerate a little discomfort. Look at the results! Our health improvement and greater longevity will be the stuff of legend:)
