Nov. 1 – 2, the two days of the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, are set aside to remember
By Tina Snell, Staff Writer
Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Latin American, mainly Mexican, ritual held annually to celebrate loved ones who have passed away. It is always celebrated Nov. 1 – 2 and is therefore thought of along the same lines as Halloween in the United States. But, the ritual is far from it. Even though the depictions of skulls and skeletons are prevalent, it has nothing to do with scaring people or children.
When the Caribbean Indian religions were forcibly mixed with the Catholic religion centuries ago, many of the rituals, traditions and aspects overlapped. The Aztecs had a god of the dead and its celebrations were around the same time as All Saints Day, Nov. 1. It wasn't much of a stretch of the imagination to equate the human sacrifices of the Aztecs with the sacrifice of Jesus.
Mexico today has a unique combination of the Catholic Church and Aztec traditions.
"Our culture doesn't have a way to honor our dead," said Central Lakes College Spanish and Latin American studies teacher Jan Kurtz. "I learned about Dia de Muertos when I began my study of Spanish. Since I was a widow at age 25, and lost my brother five years later, the Day of the Dead has helped me to process my grieving."
The Latin American ritual begins weeks before Nov. 1. Bread is baked and candies are made. An altar is set up with many of the deceased's favorite items. Each is a reminder of the person's life and a conversation starter when friends and family come to visit. Stories are told, people laugh and cry and everyone is able to process their grief.
"The Mexicans believe there are two deaths," Kurtz said. "The first is when a person physically dies. A worse death is when their name is no longer uttered."
"In our culture it seems as if when a death is brought up after several months, it seems to get tedious. People are expected to move on with their lives and get over a loss," she said. "People don't know how to react to someone still grieving after the death of a loved one, and certainly don't want to talk about it."
Kurtz said that it is not that way in the Mexican culture.
The altar dedicated to a loved one is up for several weeks and takes much preparation, which can be expensive for those with little money. On that altar can be copal incense, photos and the deceased's favorite foods and drinks. A Coca Cola, which may cost the equivalent of $1 in American dollars, is a lot to those who only make $4 a day.
Also on the altar may be water to quench the thirst of the soul after a long journey, salt to preserve the body and candles (ceras) to produce a guiding light. The incense sends prayers to the gods, flowers, especially marigolds, show the deceased a path home, and el izcuintle, in toy form of a dog for the children, is a guide for the dead. The bread depicts the body of Christ, sugar skulls are a reminder that death is always present and liquor reminds people of the good times. The deceased's favorite foods are set out for when their souls return during Dia de Muertes.
Sugar skulls are made by the thousands by local confectioneries. Their function is to adorn the altars and tombs, a delight for visiting souls. The miniature skulls are for children who have died. They are displayed on the altar Nov. 1. The small skulls are replaced by full-sized ones Nov. 2, for the returning adult spirits.
Special candy and toys are made for the children celebrating Dias de Muertos. Death is not feared, but laughed at in Mexico, said Kurtz.
The Mexican people believe the gates of heaven open at midnight Oct. 31, and the spirits of all deceased children (angelitos) reunite with their families for 24 hours. On Nov. 2, the spirits of the adults come down to enjoy the festivities that are prepared for them.
"In the evening of Nov. 1, everyone goes to the cemetery," said Kurtz. "There, the cemetery is cleaned, stories are told and the deceased are remembered."
Another ritual during Dias de Muertos is face painting or creating death masks. They may be elaborate or plain, yet all resemble a skull. While it can mean many things, in the Aztec culture, death was a positive step forward into a higher level of conscience. It's a positive symbol of rebirth.
Catrinas, skeletons of an upper class woman, usually gaudily dressed, abound during the two-day celebration. Sometimes people dress up as catrinas, but mostly they are made from clay or paper maché. The doll is the equivalent of the grim reaper and represents death with party and dance.
"Dia de Muertos is a comforting cultural celebration," said Kurtz. "When people learn about another culture, they are able to look at their own with new eyes and better understanding."

The Pope used to be a club bouncer in Buenos Aires
In an interview with the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, on Monday, Pope Francis reminisced about a series of odd jobs he held before running the Catholic Church. One of which involved him giving douchebags the boot at a club in Argentina.
Francis wasn't only a bouncer of course. The 76-year-old Bishop of Rome also swept floors, taught literature and assisted in a chemical lab. But, honestly, why would the interviewer care about anything else once the Pope (a.k.a. George Bluth in disguise?) made mention of his bouncework at a Buenos Aires nightclub?
Word had actually spread of this supposed gig back in March, but this is the first time for the Pope to confirm.
Unfortunately, the four-hour interview has no further details about the bouncer job–it gave Pontiff the opportunity to spin the factoid into something pious: It taught him how to reel in people for prayer in the church. "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope," he said. Whatever that means.

Cedar Point to add vertical thrill ride dubbed SlingShotComments Email Print
Riders on the SlingShot, which will be located near the Gemini coaster, will be secured in a two-person capsule before they're launched almost 360 feet into the air at speeds of up to 62 mph. According to a Cedar Point news release, "After a brief feeling of weightlessness, riders will descend back towards Earth before catapulting back up and down until the capsule comes to rest back at the launching point."
Cedar Fair also operates a SlingShot ride at its Kings Island park near Cincinnati. Click here for a video of the ride.
Besides SlingShot, Cedar Point announced it will add a full-service Starbucks store and Auntie Anne's and Cinnabon shops. Chickie's and Pete's Sports Bar also will open in the site of the former Game Day Grille. In addition, the park will add a Coca-Cola Freestyle station and a Yogurt Plus near the new Pipe Scream and Lake Erie Eagles family rides.
Cedar Point opens for the season on Saturday, May 10.

LONDON (May. 15)
The national conference of the British Labor Zionist Movement, which was attended by some 200 delegates representing 30 branches of the Poale Zion, Young Poale Zion and Pioneer women, adopted a resolution "noting with satisfaction" the decline of anti-Semitism in Britain during the past year.
The group also protested the persecution of Iraqi Jews and asked the British Government, in conjunction with other powers, to intervene in their behalf at Bagdad. Other resolutions expressed confidence in the Mapai's governmental leadership in Israel, condemned the release of Nazi war criminals in Germany, opposed German rearmament and supported Israel's claims upon Germany for reparations. The annual conference welcomed the adoption of the U.N. Convention against Genocide and asked the British Government to ratify it.

More spotlighting fun in western Sydney
A few months back I met a nice birder couple from Thunder Bay, Ontario in Canada. They are spending several months in Penrith before moving along across the rest of the Australian Continent so I tried to help them (especially Allan) get onto new bird species. Finally, last Sunday night (April 3rd) I managed to line up a spotlighting outing with Allan and I was hoping to show him a Powerful Owl in Mitchell Park. That was not to be the case, despite us listening intently and looking around, but we did get to see some other wonderful nocturnal animals.
There was a spot I remembered having seen Sugar Gliders leave their hollows near Cattai Creek and we started there. Gosh, weren't we lucky! As soon as it was dusk I started to hear rustling in many trees around us, but the most amazing thing was seeing the White-throated Nightjar flying over the creek at the height of the tree tops. It was amazing to finally catch a glimpse of a bird that had eluded me for years.
The Sugar Gliders made a lot of foraging noise at first making their finding by sight easy, as well I managed to spot a hollow where a Common Ringtail Possum was about to pop its head out, but the spotlight made it shy away a little. It eventually exited and literally ran down into the rainforest area to feed. Now I know why the Powerful Owl was sitting in the casuarina tree two weeks earlier when I was there with Dale, Ashwin and David. It was waiting to snare a pesky little mammal! And it waited a long time, because even an hour later when Dion Hobcroft (a Sydney based birding guide) and his partner in crime were there, they saw the owl perched in the same tree. Owls are very patient hunters and long-stay and short-stay perch hunting are methods they often use to catch prey. They sit still, listening for any sounds that give away the target species and then the owls swoop right on in to catch them in their lethal talons.
Hopefully, I will be able to find a Powerful Owl for Allan before he moves away from Sydney. We then ascended to the higher track to hear a Swamp Wallaby thump away from us; they have extremely loud footsteps – if one could call it that. It stopped and allowed some really nice views, but not as nice as the one we came across some five minutes later. In between the two Swamp Wallabies, we saw a Common Brushtail Possum and started to pick up on the calls of the Yellow-bellied Gliders, which are residents in this park. Their calls are quite scary at first if you don't know what makes them. They are also not easy to find and out of about 40 outings at Mitchell Park, I have only seen and photographed them twice!
Making our way back up the hill, a Southern Boobook was calling in the distance and we heard many cows that Allan recorded with his mega microphone. He also managed to record the Australian Owlet-nightjars calling with short trills. This is a type of call I often hear them make during the daytime, but not so much at night. At this place especially, at night, I hear a call that sounds like a short kind of a meow, a descending whistle lasting around half a second. Soon after I found a Common Ringtail Possum on a powerline (low overhead line) and once we photographed it, I showed Allan the exact tree onto which an adult female Powerful Owl landed a few weeks back scaring me to death almost. There was no owl, but another two trills from an owlet-nightjar were welcome and I explained to Allan that once you hear them, they are fairly close and I want to try and track the bird down. I bush-bashed up a hill and stopped to look around every five or so meters, expecting to see the little nightjar fairly close to ground. It was about two meters above ground, perched in a live tree, looking as cute as ever. Allan saw one of these – he actually found it – while on a tour with Phillip Maher in Victoria a couple of weeks ago, but only saw the head poking out of a hollow.
This time, Allan was also privileged to see the whole bird perched out in the open. We slowly approached it and it allowed dozens of photographs to be captured, some even full frame portraits of its face. A very obliging little bird. This concluded our nocturnal adventure and we have already planned the next two outings.
Stay safe and happy birding!

Daughter's Adorable Reaction To Dad Stealing Her Nose [VIDEO]
Normally this little move elicits laughter from kids, which is what I'm sure this dad was expecting. Instead he shattered his daughter's world…but at least he was smart enough to grab some footage so he can whip it out later in life!
Here's what the parents said on their YouTube channel:
This is a video of our beautiful daughter Kyra she's two and a half and she hasn't realised that her nose can not be dis attached from her face and this is her reaction we found it very amusing we hope you do too!
No Kyra's or noses where hurt in the making of this video 😉

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
In this year's presidential election the Obama-Biden ticket has two lawyers, while the McCain-Palin ticket has none. Does it matter? Would Obama be a better president because of his legal background?
Weigh in at our poll http://avvoblog.com/2008/10/02/do-lawyers-make-better-presidents/ and then come back here for discussion.
Any citizens can be a great president. However, today, there are two major challenges facing us.
We have a war in progress and the president was never a field commander in any capacity. This limits his ability to make accurate strategic decisions. He has to rely upon numbers of military advisers many of whom differ in how to run a war. Adolph Hitler ran into the same challenges even though he was previously a battlefield corporal having been awarded the iron cross, and the results of his strategic leadership are with us to the present day.
We have enormous legal challenges facing us. We are cutting back on constitutional safeguards in a way never seen before in our nation's history. The current president declared the constitution to be a "god damned piece of paper". A president with a legal background would understand better that when one defends constitutional safeguards, one can build a better case against the genuine trespasser. That is to say that failing to follow the constitution yields too broad a net that catches the innocent. The innocent then retaliate and you have enemies on two fronts: the outside and the inside.
I hope that answered the question somewhat. No mix of skills is perfect, but at a minimum today, we need a soldier/marine/sailor/airman - legally savvy candidate, in my opinion.Ask a similar question
One of George Bush's biggest weaknesses is his lack of a legal mind.
Lawyers deal with the truth differently than anyone else. Maybe he would not have gotten into a war using allegations of weapons of mass destruction if he had known how to sift through evidence.
Maybe he would not have allowed the abuses at Abu Graib and Guantanamo if he truely believed in our Constitution and knew what that meant for the accused.
Maybe he would not have pursued a complete revision of the Bankruptcy Code solely benefitting the VISA banks if he knew what it would lead to for consumers and then the economy.
Maybe he would not have gotten into trouble firing his U S Attorneys.
I am a lifelong Republican, but I think Barack Obama will not have issues like these.Ask a similar question
Legal training is valuable in many situations. That is why Presidents select attorneys to advise them on legal matters and implications. Attorneys should be free to give their honest advice and proceed to do so. Then the client, in this case the President, must weigh that legal advice along with other appropriate advice and make a decision. My preference is a President with strong experience, a history of considering diverse views, good judgment and proven integrity. Presidential candidates should disclose past activities and affiliations in order that he/she may be honestly evaluated by the electorate. Without full disclosure, the inference of hiding negative traits and deeds must be drawn. Since the Presidency is an executive position, not a legal position, I believe that a legal background is a neutral factor.Ask a similar question

WHAT'S NEW WITH COUPONS: Manufacturers, grocers and other retailers are offering a profusion of electronic coupons and getting new attention from relatively young, affluent shoppers, who are usually among the hardest for them to attract and retain.
HOW THEY WORK: Found at businesses' Web sites, on Facebook, in Twitter and at sites that aggregate coupons for makers and retailers, the newest types of coupons include e-mails to print out, digital code that arrives by cell phone and specials you can load onto your store loyalty card from home. One store is testing a handheld device shoppers can use to find deals and then ring up their own purchases.
The biggest difference between electronic and printed coupons is that shoppers usually must seek out the electronic deal, instead of it coming to them as a newspaper insert or a direct-mail coupon book.
WHAT YOU CAN GET: Many new electronic coupons are for groceries and home products, but electronic coupons are available for a large array of consumer goods.

IGNIS develops technology for 300ppi+ AMOLED displays with regular RGB matrix, someone has to actually make them
0. phoneArena posted on 29 Nov 2011, 08:05
The Canadian researchers from IGNIS have developed a production method for AMOLED displays that allows them to break that elusive 300ppi pixel density barrier, and do it without the PenTile matrix arrangement used in phones like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus...

more pixel density that we will not be able to tell the difference of anyway. No matter how advanced the screen, its just not cool if our eyes can only tell up to a certain point. After that, who cares exactly?
6. RageQuit (Posts: 41; Member since: 05 Sep 2011)
yes, but its RGB so its gonna have a notiacble differnce between it and current pentile HD screens.

Pro bono family law attorneys may seek fees in North Carolina
Thursday, June 17, 2010
- Legal Aid of North Carolina
The NC General Assembly has adopted revisions to NCGS §50-16.4. so that pro bono and legal services lawyers may seek attorney fees in alimony and post separation support cases.
Previously the statute contained language that would allow the award of fees "for the benefit of the dependent spouse." The NC Supreme Court in the case of Patronelli v. Patronelli interpreted that language to prevent a pro bono attorney from being awarded fees in these types of domestic cases. The bill now awaits Governor Purdue's signature.
By way of background, in Patronelli, Raleigh volunteer attorney Michael S. Harrell (of Manning Fulton & Skinner, PA), at the request of Legal Aid of NC (LANC), successfully represented a dependent spouse in the underlying action and then sought fees that were denied to him solely because he was a pro bono attorney. The Court interpreted the "for benefit" language to find that since the client did not have to pay attorney fees to her pro bono lawyer, she would not benefit from the fee award. LANC and other legal services organizations filed an amicus brief with the NC Supreme Court in this case. Harrell generously donated 5 minutes of his oral arguments to the amici.
The NC Equal Access to Justice Commission's Legislative Committee, and NC Advocates for Justice's Executive Director Dick Taylor put this legislation in motion. Taylor worked very hard for passage of the bill in the NC House and NC Senate. The bill was enthusiastically supported in the House by Melanie Wade Goodwin, a former intern in the LANC-Raleigh Office and now the State Representative for Montgomery and Richmond Counties.

I hate to ask a dumb question....
What is the proper size ash tub that is to be used with our 1300??
For the past year I have been getting by with a number two square, but its not right. Its too small and I have to shovel the corners out
For some reason that was about the only size I could find in the immediate area and we were rushed to get the boiler running so that is what I have.
When I put the boiler on the base I set the ash tub guide in and I guess that is supposed to fill the tub without spillage.... or at least my 520 with the Kurland does anyhow.
Let me know what ya think, make my nightly chores a little bit quicker
Im not very old but the older I get the more I appriciate things that makes my life easier

Arduino Micro without Headers - 5V 16MHz ATmega32u4 - Assembled
Squee! It's the cutest, tiniest little Arduino yet! The Arduino Micro packs all of the power of the Arduino Leonardo in a 1.9" x 0.7" (48mm x 18mm) size. Although it may look like a stick of gum, its actually a USB-native 8-bit microcontroller, with 32K of flash, and 2.5K of RAM. You can program it directly via the USB micro connector on one end (or for the advanced users, the 6-pin ISP header). The Arduino Micro is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega32u4 (datasheet), developed in conjunction with Arduino.cc and Adafruit.
Onboard is the processor, crystal, micro USB connection with fuse, Reset button, ISP low-level reprogramming header, ON LED, TX and RX LEDs, a extra user pin #13 LED, and a 3.3V regulator. You'll probably also want to pick up a micro-B USB cable to connect this board to your computer
You can use it for basic Arduino sketches as theyll as USB client projects like making it appear as a mouse or keyboard to your computer! Although it is not shield compatible - it does have all the same pins as a Leonardo. Its best for when you want to shrink your project down or use it on a breadboard.
This version of the Micro comes without headers pre-soldered on and runs at 5V logic with a 16MHz crystal.

A first-of-its-kind study released today definitively links soda consumption and an obesity epidemic, which costs California taxpayers an estimated $41 billion annually.
Using interviews with 43,000 adults and 4,000 adolescents statewide, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research analyzed the correlation between soft drink consumption and weight.
It found that adults who drink at least one soda or sugar-sweetened energy drink a day are 27 percent more likely to be overweight or obese. For children, the risk of obesity soars 60 percent with each daily serving of soda or sugary beverage.
"While we know that this epidemic is here, we need to know specifically and scientifically where the epidemic is coming from," said Harold Goldstein, executive director for the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, which commissioned the study.
"For me, the most powerful finding is the link between sugary drinks and obesity," he said. "I have nothing whatsoever against the industry itself, but I have a problem with those products.
"We are drinking soda like it's water, but it's not. It's water packed with 17 teaspoons of sugar. Our kids are drinking bottles of sugar."
The American Beverage Association, an industry group that represents soft drink manufacturers, did not respond to requests for comment.
But in a statement on the group's Web site, it denied there is a direct link between soda consumption and obesity.
"The fact is that the compendium of science, regardless of funding source, does not show that soft drinks or other sweetened beverages uniquely contribute to obesity - nor, for that matter, that they are uniquely linked to any negative health consequences," the association said.
The UCLA study included a county-by-county look at soda consumption and the percentage of overweight adults.
It found that soda is consumed daily by a quarter of adults in Los Angeles County, where 56 percent of those over age 18 are overweight or obese. Soft drink consumption in neighboring Ventura County is roughly comparable, although the number of overweight and obese adults tops 58 percent there.
Statewide, 24 percent of adults drink at least one soda a day and 56 percent are overweight or obese.
The highest rate of consumption was reported in the Central Valley's Kings County, where 40 percent of adult residents drink soda daily and 64 percent have a weight problem. Marin County in the San Francisco Bay Area has the lowest soda consumption, 10 percent, although 44 percent of its adult population is overweight or obese.
According to Goldstein, obesity rates increased by 35 percent across California from 1995 to 2006.
Noting that milk consumption has dropped 38 percent since 1977, researchers were surprised at how much soda is consumed by adolescents - those aged 12-17 - and children 2-11. In Los Angeles County, nearly 65 percent of adolescents and 44 percent of younger children drink soda every day. The concern is that these habits will continue as the children grow into adulthood.
Obesity has been linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiac disease. And while health care reform continues to be debated in Washington, obesity related issues cost California $41 billion a year in medical costs and time lost at work - double the figure from a decade ago, according to a study released earlier this year by Goldstein's organization.
"It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, Latino or white, if you drink a soda each day, you're at risk," said Susan Babey, research scientist for the UCLA center. "From a health perspective, the best thing is to drink water, and for younger kids white milk.
At the same time, parents face a challenge, with 450 varieties of soda now on the market.
Researchers at both UCLA and the center for public health policy suggest that legislators impose an industry fee on soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages, with revenue used to help the community.
"If we're serious about curbing the obesity epidemic, we have to start with the biggest culprit," Goldstein said. "Sodas are at or near the top of the list."
Previous efforts to impose a fee on soft drink manufacturers have been unsuccessful. A 2002 bill that would have imposed a surcharge to help pay for obesity-related costs was amended to ban the sale of soda on school campuses - a measure that was signed into law the next year. Lawmakers, however, remain concerned about the long-term effects of soft-drink consumption.
"I am planning a hearing in early November where we will hear from experts about the link between soda consumption and obesity," said state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Van Nuys, who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Obesity and Diabetes.
"Parents need to know about the impact soda consumption can have on their children's health. And, we should consider the policy options available to us."

FABULOUS 15-day cruise to Hawaii on the Carnival Spirit!: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by jordanaire
Overall Member Rating
FABULOUS 15-day cruise to Hawaii on the Carnival Spirit!
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: San Diego
We flew from Cincinnati to San Diego two days prior to the cruise, mainly to allow for jet lag to settle in and to explore a city in which we've never been to. I booked a room at the Best Western Yacht Harbor via an online travel site (begins with a "P"). The hotel is located about 3 miles west of the cruise port in Point Loma. The room was great, complete with a marina-facing balcony that allowed us to watch the Navy and cruise ships pass by. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from both the airport and the cruise terminal.
We took the cruise to the terminal at 8:45am on Friday, April 13th. Upon arrival, we found the lines of those waiting to board quite short. After checking in, we waited in the More VIP area until around 10:45am to board. We immediately headed to the Lido deck for lunch. Our cabins were ready before 1:00pm. And all of our luggage was there as well! We had a 4K cabin with an obstructed view ( a lifeboat). The room was perfect for us despite the view out of the french doors.
After standing in the rain for our Muster Drill, we finally set sail around 6:15pm. Not sure why the departure was delayed, but we were eating dinner in the diningroom when we finally began our fantastic voyage.
The ship was a little difficult to get around, layout-wise. But we finally got the hang of it and loved it. The Promenade deck, shops and Atrium are located on decks 2 & 3, along with the diningroom.
The first 2-3 days at sea enroute to Hawaii were rough, windy and cold. It was so windy that the upper decks were blocked off to passengers. The temperature hovered in the upper 50s to low 60s. On the third day at sea, a passenger jumped overboard from the Lido deck. The ship turned around and after about an hour or so rescued the gentleman. It was a marvelous thing to witness. He was sent back home after we reached Hilo.
The 4 days at sea were very relaxing for us. We absolutely love the sea days! There were enough activities to keep us entertained throughout. If you love trivia, then this cruise was for you! I ended up bringing 5 "ships-on-a-stick" home. Keeping in mind that the average age for the passengers on this cruise was near 65 years old and older, many passengers complained of not having enough to do while at sea. And with the choppy seas resulting in the cancellation of most of the dance shows in the main auditorium, frustration began to settle in with a few. Carnival didn't have any backup plans to remedy the situation, which I think they should work on.
Arriving in Hawaii was spectacular! We made stops in Hilo, Kahalui, Maui, Honolulu, Kona and the island of Kauai. In Hilo, we took the shuttle downtown to explore the town and the market place. We also visited Hilo Hatties. Note: every port of call during this cruise had a free, full-size bus shuttle people to and from (of all places) WalMart! All day long!
In Maui, we rented a Mustang convertible and drove to Lahaina to do a whale watching tour that I had booked online, at a cost of $22.40 per person. While waiting to board the boat, I talked with a gentleman from the Princess ship that was there and he told me that Princess charged them $89.99 pp for the exact same tour! It pays to shop around! We spent the rest of the day just driving around exploring this island. Absolutely beautiful!
Our next stop was Honolulu and we, again, rented a Mustand convertible. Got excellent deals with Thrifty. We drove out to Pearl Harbor and toured the USS Missouri, visitor's center and the USS Bowfin. We had been aboard the Arizona Memorial during two previous visits. For someone so interested in WWII history, this was unbelieveable for me! We then drove to the Internation Marketplace to get souveniers for the kids and grandkids. Even enjoyed a Puka Dog for lunch. After shopping here for a couple of hours, it was time to surprise my wife with something that I had planned for months and she had no idea about. We drove to a very nice beach and met with a minister who renewed our wedding vows with a traditional Hawaiian ceremony. My wife was shocked! It was fantastic! And, yes, she said "yes" for the 2nd time (after 37 years)!
We then sailed back to the Big Island for a day in Kona. It was here that I spent the most money. The first shop my wife noticed was an ABC Store and she went bezerk in there! We ended up buying another piece of luggage just to bring home what she bought here! We walked the streets and took many pictures of this beautifl place.
Our final stop was in Kauai. Here, we took the Wainmea Canyon Tour. Our bus drove on a road that wasn't hardly wide enough for two cars all the way to the canyon, passing other buses along the way. What a frightening experience. But we made it and the view of the canyon was well worth the ride up! It was like looking at the Grand Canyon...only greener!
After leaving Kauai and returning to San Diego, the ship had to turn around and head back to Honolulu because a passenger had a medical emergency and had to be taken to a hospital. This put our schedule back about 12-14 hours, resulting in us missing our port of call in Ensanada, Mexico (which was OK with most of the passengers). We arrived back in San Diego and debarkation was a breeze! Locating our luggage once we left the ship was another story! After spending over 45-minutes looking for our last suitcase, we found it near the exit door. Apparently, someone picked it up, realized it wasn't their's and just left it there.
Overall, the cruise was the BEST one yet for us! The ship was in great condition, and the crew was fantastic, especially the captain. He and his crew did a great job saving that man.
The Entertainment staff was great, except for the Cruise Director. Stu could do alot better when it came to mingling with the passengers. The Social Host, Misty, was wonderful! She will make a great Cruise Director some day! Hats off to Lanne, Menna, Christy (it's M-A-L-I-H-I-N-I")and Gayve! Great job!
The food was the best we've ever had aboard a Carnival ship! Our waiter, Allan, did a superb job each and every night. The only complaint we had was that the shrimp cocktails have disappeared from the menu, having it only one night! We are in the steakhouse one evening and had the best meal we've ever eaten anywhere!
The only complaints that we had was the cruise terminal in San Diego. It was nothing more than a warehouse with little facilities. However, we have learned that Carnival will no longer be sailing out of here, so any ideas for improvement would be needless.
We loved this cruise so much that we are considering doing it again in 2014 aboard the Miracle out of LA. Less

I recently acquired this Mission wall clock, but I'm not sure of the manufacturer. It appears to be a Sessions, although no ID is visible on the clock or on the mechanism. The copper-finish numbers & brass hands are the same as other Sessions clocks I've seen. Can anyone help with identification? Thanks!

Here are the 4 ways protected bike lanes help local businesses
September 15, 2013
Michael Andersen, Green Lane Project staff writer
As almost any bike advocate will tell you, a bike isn't a toy; it's a tool. And by the same token, it's becoming clear to more and more politicians and businesspeople that a protected bike lane isn't a luxury that cities install if they can afford to.
When they're used right, protected bike lanes are part of the path to prosperity.
Telling this story is one of the big themes of this blog: we've looked at this phenomenon in Memphis, San Francisco and Portland, for example.
As a way to gather all this thinking into one place, I've spent the last few weeks working on a big new report, a collaboration between the Green Lane Project and the Alliance for Biking and Walking that will use the stories of businesses across the country to show exactly how this works.
We've grouped the stories into four main categories:
1) Protected bike lanes increase retail visibility and volume. It turns out that when people use bikes for errands, they're the perfect kind of retail customer: the kind that comes back again and again. They spend as much per month as people who arrive in cars, require far less parking while they shop and are easier to lure off the street for an impulse visit.
2) Protected bike lanes make workers healthier and more productive. From Philadelphia to Chicago to Portland, the story is the same: people go out of their way to use protected bike lanes. By drawing clear, safe barriers between auto and bike traffic, protected bike lanes get more people in the saddle -- burning calories, clearing the mental cobwebs, and strengthening hearts, hips and lungs.
3) Protected bike lanes make real estate more desirable. By calming traffic and creating an alternative to auto travel lanes, protected bike lanes help build the sort of neighborhoods that everyone enjoys walking around in. By extending the geographic range of non-car travel, bike lanes help urban neighborhoods develop without waiting years for new transit service to show up.
4) Protected bike lanes help companies score talented workers. Workers of all ages, but especially young ones, increasingly prefer downtown jobs and nearby homes, the sort of lifestyles that make city life feel like city life. Because protected bike lanes make biking more comfortable and popular, they help companies locate downtown without breaking the bank on auto parking space, and allow workers to reach their desk the way they increasingly prefer: under their own power.
We'll be sharing much of the information in the report here, piece by piece, and offering it for download (or maybe by mail, if you ask very nicely) when it's published this fall. Stay tuned.
Green lane idea of the day: A good bike network isn't a luxury cities build if they can afford to. It's a tool that itself builds local wealth.

Test results revealed protein in my urine. Is that bad? What might that indicate?
— Vicky
Normally, the kidneys filter urine from the blood but retain protein, so there is not extensive loss of protein into the urine. Protein may be present in the urine because of acute inflammation or kidney stone disease, or as a sign of kidney damage. An inflammatory process, such as a urinary tract infection, could theoretically increase what we call nonspecific protein. However, the more serious concern would be if the protein were the result of kidney damage. For example, diabetes, high blood pressure, and intrinsic diseases of the kidneys may cause the kidneys' filtering membranes to become leaky, such that protein slips through and ends up in the urine. This can be detected by a urine dipstick test. The dipstick provides a snapshot at one point in time — more accurate readings are obtained by collecting urine for 24 hours.
Be sure to follow up with your doctor and have your urine rechecked. If an underlying infection is the cause, the protein in the urine will usually disappear once the infection clears. If it turns out you have a persistent elevation of urinary protein, you'd be wise to have an evaluation by a nephrologist (kidney specialist) so he or she can figure out its source.

Joy E. Dill, RN (Retired)
I am 80 years old and have had PHN for 11 years.. None of the meds or other assorted Tx helped the pain much. Video Games have kept me going. Concentrating on those has kept the pain level to the "non-suicidal" level. I have taken narcotics, Neurontin, Lyrica, Epidurals, Acupuncture and a bunch of "old wives remedies" with little or no relief. A constant pain level of about 8 for 11 years is pretty hard to handle. Go Gamers! It helps..
debra s, rn
My son has had severe Crohn's for the past 12 years. Meds have had little or no affect on his pain level. However, he has found (like Joy Dill) that online video gaming helps keep his mind off the pain. His friends and relatives helped create a track in the backyard for RC trucks and that has also managed to distract him from the pain for hours at a time. These are also a means of socialization that he had been missing for some time since he is frequently bedridden..

It has really worked when splinting a foot or ankle..
manuelhm, md
Exercise, music, and other form of recreational activities indeed take away your attention from pain. I wonder if hypnosis works the same way..
julie weaver
I'm a Healing Touch Certified Practitioner, not a medical person, and I am highly aware of the ability of a person's body to "distract itself" through relaxation and focus on something other than the source of pain. Healing Touch (also many other energy-based therapies) helps the body to release endorphins thereby changing the hormonal balance and reducing perception of pain (also perception of anxiety and nausea). I currently am the Complementary Care Program Coordinator for Minnesota Oncology Hematology, PA in Minneapolis/Saint Paul, MN. My job is to ensure that our patients have this service specifically to help them reduce the pain, anxiety, and nausea of their treatments in the chemo infusion centers. As the prior individual mentioned: distraction/change of focus has been used for thousands of years to reduce childbirth pain; even today (age 67), I use the "rising above the pain" method to reduce my perception of some painful procedure or test..

What about aroma therapy and massage for relief of pain..

In The Least Surprising News of The Day Category, Tati Neves the hooker who filmed Justin Bieber sleeping, and who we've already established will literally do or say anything for money, once starred in a porno which you can see over on Egotastic (NSFW). And by "a" porno, I mean the first one somebody's found because you know there are more of these out there. She had sex with Justin Bieber for god's sake. It's only a matter of time until we're watching her blow a sea turtle in a mermaid costume. Time and patience. Patience… *fidgets in seat*

Talking about Gilbert Lee Robbins who passed away on April 5, Tim describes The Highwaymen member as 'a fantastic father', 'a great musician' and 'a man of unshakable integrity'.
Actor Tim Robbins has paid tribute to his folk star dad Gil Robbins, who died on Tuesday, April 5 at the age of 80. Gilbert Lee Robbins, a folk singer and member of the early 1960s group The Highwaymen, passed away at his home in Esteban Cantu, Mexico.
He started his career in New York's Greenwich Village folk scene as a member of the Cumberland Three and the Belafonte Singers before joining the Highwaymen in 1962. He played and sang baritone on five of the Highwaymen's albums before they broke up in 1964.
Robbins went on to manage the Gaslight Club in Greenwich Village's popular MacDougal Street. In a statement to the Associated Press, Tim Robbins remembers his dad as "a fantastic father", "a great musician" and "a man of unshakable integrity".
He adds, "His commitment to social justice was evident to us from an early age, as was his infectious mischievous sense of humor. His passing has created great sadness for all of us and our mother but we take comfort in knowing that the angels will soon be soothed by the songs coming from his beautiful baritone voice."

Re: Brook Trout Fly Swap, Spring 29012
What is holding up the swaps these days? The Brook Trout swap was due on May 1, 2012 and still nothing. I have invested time and money to make sure my flies are done on time and sent to the SM by the due date along with others that have their flies sent into the SM. Come on guys It's pretty simple and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand this.....If you don't have time to fulfill your commitment to get the flies to the SM on time then DONT join the swaps! And furthermore the due date is the date that the flies have to be in the SM's hands...NOT the date that the flies need to be in the mail. So if it takes 2 weeks transit for your flies to arrive then make sure you mail them at least 2 weeks before the deadline.
Another problem is there are guys that spend extra money to next day air their flies so they arrive by the due date and then the swap ends up being extended by weeks and months because of a number of swappers that still don't have their flies to the SM on time, so that guy that spent the extra $5/10 to get his flies to the SM on time is just screwed because of the other late swappers. I guess if this continues to be the norm for all swaps, I just wont join in because this is getting to be ridiculous. I am mainly doing this for the fun and fellowship with guys on FFFNA, nothing more.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick took along Mason, 4, and Penelope, 18 months, for a meal at Sugarfish restaurant in Calabasas, Calif. on Sunday (January 26). Mason – being used to the cameras – gave a big smile. The day before the family were seen arriving at LAX. They had returned from their trip to Mexico.
According to Forbes – Kourtney and Scott have purchased a Calabasas estate just down the street from Justin Bieber.
The property boasts 12,000 square feet and belonged to former NFL star wide receiver and current ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson. He had reduced the price to $8.495 million – leading the reality stars to seal the deal.
Kourtney told Domaine.com, "Our family is bigger…I'd like to have a guest room and more space outside for the kids."View Slideshow »»

Inside Dakota Fanning's NYC Apartment
Dakota Fanning started NYU this fall — but she's not living like your regular freshman. Instead of living in the dorms on campus, the "Twilight" star is renting out a two-bedroom, two-bathoom, $8,400/month apartment. Not too shabby, right?
The place boasts a kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, soaking tub and a ton of windows. The building also has a 24-hour doorman and sundeck with panoramic views of the city. No word on if she's got a roomie, but the building reportedly has at least one other famous tenant: John Mayer.
