Grab your sunscreen, it's here Tampa Bay! The newest thrill slide at Adventure Island, Colossal Curl. Temperatures already in the 80's this week here in Tampa Bay, spring break kicking off for Hillsborough County students, and this weekend the opening of Adventure Island and the debut of it's newest water slide built since 2006. It begins with 114 steps up the 70-foot tower, which makes Colossal Curl stand as the tallest ride in the park. The 4-person raft let's you enjoy laughing with or at family and friends while they laugh or scream as the 42-second thrill ride twits, slides, rocks, and then drops you at a 45 degree angle where for a instant you feel a zero gravity before sliding onto a wave wall.
The "family thrill slide", Colossal Curl, took the place of Gulf Scream which was built in 1983, the second ride to be constructed at the park. Adventure Island caught the demolition of the Gulf Scream and construction of Colossal Curl you can view in webisode's they posted to Youtube, which we have posted all right here for you to check out.

Is Watching People Have Sex Always Porn
One man decided to make his business doing this very thing; his name is Robert Page. In his homeland of England, Page began filming sex as education, not as pornography, when no one else did. Sex, or even the mention of it, is something most people are obsessed with. I believe that is partially due to the scarcity of actual sexual materials, that are educational and not pornographic.

Female Chimp Addicted to Porn
Spain -- No family-friendly shows for this gal. A female chimpanzee at the Seville Zoo in Spain watched porn every chance she got, primatologist Pablo Herreros wrote over the weekend in El Mundo. Gina the chimp was supplied with a remote control and several channels to watch on TV -- and within days focused on the adult action "as many of us would have done," Herreros said.

Women showing greater openness about sensuality
Japan -- In Japan, discussions of what women find erotic has long been a conversation behind closed doors. Now, with the success of literary awards, websites and magazines aimed at tickling women's fancy, the dialogue is stepping into the open. In 2002, Shinchosha Publishing Co. began offering an award for erotic literature written by women and judged by a panel of women writers.

Hillbilly Porn On Rise Unfortunately
USA -- With TV shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, Bayou Billionaires and others making their way into the hearts and homes of millions of Americans, it appears that the so-called Southern stereotype has found its place in the popular mainstream. According to TMZ, America's "obsession" with backwoodsmen and women is so pervasive that it is no longer just limited to PG-rated shows. Read More About: Hillbilly Porn On Rise Unfortunately
Porn Industry In Decline Due to Piracy
"The piracy has killed the industry," Cummings told HuffPost. "I'd say 80 percent of the companies that were around five years ago either don't exist or are hanging by a thread. The day a new video comes out, within 24 hours, someone has set up a tripod in front of their TV to copy it and then uploaded it illegally." Nate Glass, who runs TakeDownPiracy, an organization battling online porn copyright infringement, estimates DVD sales have dropped by 50 percent since 2007.

If you've been looking for an "amateur detective" that owes much to his predecessors but still manages to be unique, look no further than Kiyoshi Mitarai. Amazon
Astrologer, fortuneteller, and self-styled detective Kiyoshi Mitarai must in one week solve a macabre murder mystery that has baffled
for 40 years. Who murdered the artist Umezawa, raped and killed his daughter,
and then chopped up the bodies of six others to create Azoth, the supreme
woman? With maps, charts, and other illustrations, this story of magic and
illusion, pieced together like a great stage tragedy, challenges the reader to
unravel the mystery before the final curtain. Japan

My thoughts.....4 stars
With more than a passing nod to Holmes & Watson THE TOKYO ZODIAC MURDERS owes much to the iconic duo and acknowledges that with Kazumi Ishioka's love of detective fiction.
Admittedly the beginning is a rough go. The letter that opens the book is long, rambling, and a bit on the esoteric side regarding alchemy, the zodiac (Western not Chinese) and the metallurgic relations to the signs. I almost gave up.
The action, and story, picks up and improves dramatically with the appearance of Kiyoshi Mitarai & Kazumi Ishioka. Kazumi has given Kiyoshi the book to read. He's eager to discuss and attempt to solve the murder case with him, thinking to lift Kiyoshi from his doldrums. After they're given a letter with inside information into the mystery and an encounter with the letter writer's son, Kiyoshi promises to solve the mystery in a week. Kiyoshi and Kazumi go to various locations and each pursues their own line of reasoning.
The author actually interjects himself into the narrative at a couple of points to let readers know they have all the clues required to solve the mystery and encouraging them to do so before reading further. Reading the afterword is recommended. It explains that this is actually a sub-genre of Japanese mystery fiction meaning authentic, it relies on plotting and delivering the clues to the reader so they too can solve it, as well as other info of interest.
I've read many translations of international mysteries. Typically there's an initial adjustment period for me to familiarize myself with names, places, and cultural differences before getting lost in the mystery. The story no longer feels foreign. That wasn't the case with THE TOKYO ZODIAC MURDERS. Even after getting wrapped up in the mystery I still felt like a visitor to
I think that's actually part of the appeal. It's a mini murder mystery
THE TOKYO ZODIAC MURDERS, once past the long winded letter, is interesting and different enough to appeal to those who enjoy a good mystery and relish solving it along with or even before the "detective". Kiyoshi Mitarai appears in a series of books for those who'd like to read more of him and his "cases".

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Though the Glendale Community College women's volleyball team was swept in a Western State Conference match Friday night, it can at least take solace in the fact that one of its top players wasn't seriously injured.
Late in the first game of Glendale's 25-22, 25-17, 25-22 home loss against Santa Monica City College on Friday night, Glendale sophomore outside hitter Jessica Alvarez went full force near the net to get a loose ball but collided with Santa Monica's Melissa Tindall.
Alvarez, a Bellarmine-Jefferson High graduate, appeared to injure her right foot and was removed from the contest briefly with the score tied at 19. She returned at the start of the second game and played the bulk of the remainder of the match.

With the electrical tank container heating systems, eltherm developed a real alternative to heating with steam and Glycol and created some new options for applications. The eltherm product range for electrical heat tracing systems combines high-quality heating cables and accessories with individually designed systems. As an engineering company with its own manufacturing site, eltherm advises container manufacturers from the planning phase on. These manufacturers have relied for many years on the know-how and innovative strength of eltherm. eltherm ensure that all requirements of the container industry are fulfilled by coordinating with the tank manufacturer during the design process to make certain that the heat tracing system is specifically tailored to each container requirement. When faced with complicated and difficult specifications the container manufacturer and sponsor prefer to rely on the experience of the eltherm engineers.
Advantages of the eltherm Tank Container Heating Systems:
Even with damage of one heating cable there are no cold zones on the container
High chemical resistance of the applied heating cables
Low weight, thereby less loading loss and additional consumption
Vibration resistant
Repairing and maintaining can be carried out quick and easy
Efficient heat distribution
Flexible cables with small bending radius
Various resistances are available, so the transformer is not needed
Low power output W/m prevents container walls from overheating
Moisture resistant
Saltwater proof
The automotive industry, machine construction and plant construction require more and more temperature sensitive chemicals. So it is increasingly necessary to transport these chemicals safe way whilst maintaining the product characteristics. Mostly tank containers, SWAP containers, road tanks and IBC's (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are used. Sensitive chemicals have high requirements for secure transportation.
Case Studies:
Electrical Heat Tracing for MDI-tank Containers: Temperature Accuracy up to +/- 1 °C
In one case eltherm engineers successfully faced the challenge of transportation of MDI (Methylene-Diphenyl-Diisocyanate). The task was: heating of 20' Iso tank containers up to 43° C, with only a temperature variation of the product from +/- 1 K. The engineers also had to consider that on worldwide transports the power supply range can vary between 380 und 440 V. Additionally, the complete control system had to be protected against voltage peaks, that can occur by using power supply from the board network of a container ship or a ferry. A complete record of the product temperature without gaps over the whole transportation cycle must also be provided.
To meet these high requirements the eltherm engineers made several temperature experiments on prototypes. The knowledge that could be gained out of these tests was integrated during the solution finding process. It showed, that for heating the whole tank up to the minimum filling height the eltherm fluoropolymer-insulated heating cables Type ELKM-AG-L are the best choice. In addition to the cable choice, also the way of positioning the cables and the installation play an important role. The especially developed installations technique by eltherm on the one hand makes sure that the required temperature accuracy can be reached. On the other hand it assures a consistent heating of the whole container surface, even if one of the cables is broken by mechanical damage. The Pt100 sensors measure the product temperature for each heating circuit and also the temperature of the heating cable. So you can make sure that even if there is a fault there will not be undesired temperature rises.
The eltherm tank container heating systems are all delivered with complete control systems made of vibration-resistant components in a suitable stainless steel housing. As MDI generally is not unloaded by the bottom valve but over fittings on the spill box, a separate heating for the spill box is also needed to maintain the temperature of the valve and to guarantee its function. This heating was of course also considered by the eltherm engineers and delivered. With some applications also the syphon pipe has to be heated. The heating will be placed in a double casing tube, which has to be produced by the container manufacturer according to the requirements of eltherm. When the heating is operated autarkic without any fixed power supply, an attached generator is switched on and off by the control of the heating system. The proof without gaps of the required temperature during the complete transportation is assured by so called data loggers. If the measurement results are within the tolerances, this also makes sure that the customer accepts the delivery. The electrical tank container heating system of eltherm has not only revolutionized the common tank container heatings, it also allows custom-made solutions even for highly sensitive and difficult temperature requirements.
Electrical Heat Tracing of High-temperature Tank Containers
For transportation of highly viscous materials of the chemical and petrochemical industry, suitable and worldwide applicable transport containers are needed. Electrically heated 20' Iso tank containers, SWAP-containers and road tanker are the best fitting solution. Especially in these cases there are high requirements on the electrical heating. High heater output with as low as possible heat loss, short time preheating of the empty tanks before filling, as well as resistance of the heating system against filling temperatures up to 260 °C were demanded here. In general these tank containers are operated without generators, so a power reserve has to be installed, to be able to heat the tank content over several hours if needed.
Because of the temperature range the electrical controllers can be operated with a hysteresis of +/- 5 K. No problem for the eltherm engineers. As the used eltherm heating cables are manufactured in the own production site, our engineers have been able to develop a special tank container heating cable for this special temperature range. So the requirements of power and high temperature could be fulfilled. Power output up to 18 kW with power supply range between 380 and 440 V have to be realized with a temperature maintenance up to 210 °C. To reduce heat loss to a minimum our engineers developed in cooperation with insulation companies a multilayer insulation, which allows, together with the heat tracing, an energy efficient usage of the systems. Redundant temperature sensors and the eltherm typical installation of the heating cables make sure, that even if there is any mechanical damage, the heating can be used without any cold areas on the tank. Roundabout 80 % of the tank surface are heated consistently. The bottom valves of these kind of tanks cool down especially fast. So it is necessary to install a Mikanit heating element on the discharge pipe and the valve as a separate heating circuit. A custom-made heating jacket is used as thermal insulation. This jacket can be removed for cleaning and put on again without any problems. To be able to document and see the energy consumption during heating an operation hour counter is installed for each heating circuit. This tank container heating system, developed by eltherm, provides a perfect solution which is characterized by cost effectiveness and also convenience.
Heating of Chocolate Containers
After mixing the ingredients needed for production of chocolate, the mixture is conched*. After conching the chocolate is quite liquid and not really suitable for eating. Because of the increasing internationalization of the leading confectionery producers, it is more and more necessary to transport primary products like fat, oil and cocoa butter as well as finished products like chocolate mass between the production sites for further processing without quality loss. The liquid form for transportation of bigger quantities is the most economically advantageous way. To make sure that the chocolate does not loose its characteristic taste or gets hard, a heating of the container is needed. Here the worldwide standardized means of transportation are applied, like e.g. 20' Iso tank containers, SWAP-containers, road tanker and IBCs.
The task for eltherm:
Pre-heating of the tank before filling
Temperature maintenance during storage and transportation
Maintenance temperature freely programmable between 40 and 70 °C
Temperature tolerance: +/- 2 °C
Supply voltage 380 – 440 V
Assure that there are no temperature rises to avoid changes in product characteristics
Avoid undergoing of minimum nominal value to make sure that tanks can be emptied completely
The eltherm engineers developed a best suitable solution. The tank container surface was heated constantly with the eltherm fluoropolymer-insulated heating cable ELKM-AG-L up to the fill capacity of 80%. Particular attention was paid to compensation of heat losses on "cold bridges" like tank suspension. By the eltherm specific installation technique of the heating cables a constant heating is assured even when there is any damage on the heating cables. Of course eltherm again supplied the complete control system and generators for power supply without interruption. The documentation without gaps throughout the whole transportation cycle is an important requirement of the quality management system and is assured by data loggers. At eltherm the complete engineering, design, calculation and installation on site are included in the scope of supply of this kind of projects.

kids say {ethan}
Last week we were in the van listening to our Glee Christmas CD (which for whatever reason keeps the kids happy. Even though it's May. They are clearly confused by all the cold weather we've been having.) The song 'Island of Misfit Toys' came on. Ethan was happily singing along in his endearing tone-deaf little voice when, near the end of the song, he asked, "Are they saying biscuit or misfit?" Let's just try that on for a second. "We're on the island of biscuit toys...can somebody pass the butter?"

Anticipated Movies of 2012
2012 may mark the end according to the Mayans, but as many of us know, the ending is just the beginning of something new and refreshing, including a new wave of blockbusters, sure to keep movie fans in an uproar of excitement. Check out the line-up.
Lights, Camera, and Action-Adventure!!
The Dark Knight Rises
The final installment of the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy will be by far one of the most anticipated movies of 2012.

You forgot pixar's movie. That is always top notch with exception from last years.
Wow! I was really impressed with the list of movies to watch for in 2012. I can't wait to watch some of them. By the way, I was reading some of your Hubs and everything was so fabulous. You really have grand ideas to share! Thanks for the tips for writers you have cited in one of your Hubs.
Definitely looking forward to the new Batman... The Dark Knight was so good!
Well I hope so, Latasha, but as a fan and close follower of Chloe Moretz, I can tell you nothing is in the planning stages right now. She gets asked repeatedly about it and has no knowledge of an upcoming sequel. Matthew Vaughn was supposed to be able to work on it after finishing the new Watchmen film, but he's going to start on something else now.
I don't know if it's a funding issue (the first had that problem) or a scheduling one. Both are possibilities.
Nice reference piece, but one small correction.
There is no assurance that there will be a Kick-Ass sequel. In fact, it's starting to look like a less than 50/50 bet at this point.
Wow! You did your research!
Great review of upcoming movies. I am interested in watching some of these. I'd particularly like to see Ghost Rider, Ghostbusters 3, Men In Black, and The Bourne Legacy.
You wrote a great article here. There is a lot of useful information for movie watchers. Thanks for posting this refreshing article!

Desk Posture (click to watch video)
Proper desk posture is hard to maintain. Correct alignment includes a monitor at eye level. If it is not at eye level, use a book to elevate the monitor. This facilitates correct neck alignment and avoids rounding shoulders. This will help to prevent neck pain.

Here are some easy stretches to do while at work or at home while sitting at your desk.

A One-day Training Event Teaching Documentation Best Practices in Technical Communication
On March 7th, LASTC participated in the annual MadCap Roadshow, which made one of its 23 North American stops in Orange County. As many technical communicators are aware, MadCap publishes one of the leading help authoring tools, Flare, which many consider to be a leading alternative to Adobe's RoboHelp and FrameMaker.
The MadCap Roadshow is ideal for new, prospecting, and existing users. It is a special five-session event on topics critical for today's technical writers. Led by Mike Hamilton, VP of Product Evangelism, this full day workshop covered topics including maximizing content reuse, multi-channel publishing, advanced CSS techniques, and even a preview of the latest release, Flare 8. Mike is also the MadCap co-founder, and has over ten years of experience in training, technical communication, multimedia development, and software development. Prior to joining MadCap Software, Mike served as the Product Manager for Macromedia's award-winning RoboHelp product line.
As a proud STC partner, MadCap invited local chapter representatives to attend the event. This year, the Los Angeles and Orange County chapters joined forces in staffing the STC booth where many roadshow attendees stopped by to learn more about membership opportunities and upcoming events. Pamphlets, t-shirts, pens, and other merchandise were provided to current and prospective members.
The MadCap Roadshow is an excellent learning and networking opportunity for all technical communicators, and we highly recommend attending an upcoming stop this year. More information on the roadshow, including dates and specific topics, can be found at http://www.madcapsoftware.com/events/roadshow.aspx.

If you are experiencing a dental emergency please contact our office right away. If you call after hours, our voice mail system will forward you to the staff member on call and we will return your call as soon as possible.
Here's a quick summary of what to do for some common dental problems.
Toothaches: First, thoroughly rinse your mouth with warm water. Use dental floss to remove any lodged food. If your mouth is swollen, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek. Never put aspirin or any other painkiller against the gums near the aching tooth because it may burn the gum tissue. See your dentist as soon as possible.
Knocked-out tooth: Retrieve the tooth, hold it by the crown (the part that is usually exposed in the mouth), and rinse off the tooth root with water if it's dirty. Do not scrub it or remove any attached tissue fragments. If possible, try to put the tooth back in place. Make sure it's facing the right way. Never force it into the socket. If it's not possible to reinsert the tooth in the socket, put the tooth in a small container of milk (or cup of water that contains a pinch of table salt, if milk is not available) or a product containing cell growth medium, such as Save-a-Tooth. In all cases, see your dentist as quickly as possible. Knocked out teeth with the highest chances of being saved are those seen by the dentist and returned to their socket within 1 hour of being knocked out.
Objects caught between teeth: First, try using dental floss to very gently and carefully remove the object. If you can't get the object out, see your dentist. Never use a pin or other sharp object to poke at the stuck object. These instruments can cut your gums or scratch your tooth surface.
Lost crown: If the crown falls off, make an appointment to see your dentist as soon as possible and bring the crown with you. If you can't get to the dentist right away and the tooth is causing pain, use a cotton swab to apply a little clove oil to the sensitive area (clove oil can be purchased at your local drug store or in the spice aisle of your grocery store). If possible, slip the crown back over the tooth. Before doing so, coat the inner surface with an over-the-counter dental cement, toothpaste, or denture adhesive, to help hold the crown in place. Do not use super glue!
Broken braces and wires: If a wire breaks or sticks out of a bracket or band and is poking your cheek, tongue, or gum, try using the eraser end of a pencil to push the wire into a more comfortable position. If you can't reposition the wire, cover the end with orthodontic wax, a small cotton ball, or piece of gauze until you can get to your orthodontist's office. Never cut the wire, as you could end up swallowing it or breathing it into your lungs.
Contact us or Call 913.338.3443 to schedule your appointment today.


text: No, I don't mean pull on the leash. I mean pulling as an activity! My Rottie/Pit Bull/??? mix, seen in my gallery and my signature, loooooves pulling. Living in Texas, it's not like I can go buy a sled and use it every winter. Most of the time, my winters have little to NO snow at all whatsoever. In my part of the lone star state anyway.... I have considered purchasing or building some kind of small cart. When I'm working around the house, sometimes I'll hook him up to a little wooden wagon that we have and let him haul around whatever tools I'm using. ^^ Haha! He just loves it. Cheesy, yeah I know, but he likes it and it sure is handy. Since he likes it so much I'd like to figure out some kind of activity for him to do that suits this climate. So far all I've thought of is just putting weight into some kind of little cart and going out for a walk. Sure would get some funny looks, but heck he'd love it! I don't do scooters or bike rides, also...so that eliminates that. Our Christmas card this past year was my 3 big dogs hooked up to a medium-sized wooden wagon(it's just a decoration with flowers in it) with Nick, the Chihuahua sitting in the wagon surrounded by a bunch of presents. All the big dogs had reindeer antlers on and Nick was wearing an elf suit. ^^ I'm not normally into dressing up my dogs, but it sure made a cute card. Anywho...just wondering if anyone had any ideas to fuel Rusty's pulling passion. Thanks guys!

A La Grange man has been arrested and charged for allegedly possessing and distributing child pornography.
Donald D. Jones, 53, was arrested by the Kentucky Attorney General's Cybercrimes unit last Monday at his La Grange home, according to the Attorney General's office.
Jones was charged with five counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor and one count of distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor by the AG's office.
It most certainly felt like déjà vu when Timothy E. Feeley defeated Michael Pate for the position of Circuit Judge in the 12th Judicial Circuit Tuesday night.
Feeley also defeated Pate, a long-time family law attorney, in 2006.
"I want to thank the voters for their confidence in me once again," Feeley told the Era.
Feeley has been Family Court Judge for Oldham, Henry and Trimble Counties since 2005. He said he has seen over 15,000 cases in his nine and a half years as judge.
La Grange will have its third mayor in as many terms come January, but a familiar face will occupy the office.
Longtime councilman Joe Davenport defeated Brian Oerther, 57 to 42 percent, to take the helm of Oldham County's largest city, with 84 percent of the city turning out to vote in the race.
The race was a referendum on several recent city council votes, including the occupational tax, which Oerther opposed. But voters decided to stick with Davenport over Oerther, who pegged himself as "outside the box" when it came to ideas for the city.
Trick-or-treaters enjoyed an early treat Saturday at the annual BooDell at Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood. Local organizations and businesses handed out candy and games and activities were available to all the children who attended.
Kentucky's junior senator is predicting victory for his political party, not only in his home state, but also across the U.S. on Election Day.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul said President Barack Obama is weighing down Democrats across the country, thanks to his unpopular policies. And that is especially true in Kentucky's U.S. Senate race between U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, a Republican, and Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, a Democrat, according to Paul.
After a decade of planning, the Pewee Valley Fire Department officially opened its second station yesterday in hopes of providing better service to their fire district.
The new station, located at 2577 Ash Ave., in Shelby County, is a football field away from the Kentucky Women's Institutional Complex, and will service both parts of Oldham and Shelby counties.
More than 100 people showed up for the station's opening ceremonies, which included free food, safety demonstrations, tours of the station and a ceremony.
Several residents are questioning the Goshen City Commission's recent purchase of property and possible move of the city's playground equipment.
It was an unusually packed room at the October meeting of the commission, where many were sitting to hear more about possibly moving the equipment, which is presently at Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve.
October may be Breast Cancer Awareness month, but for a group of Oldham County ladies who like to crochet and knit, they are giving back to those affected every day of the year.
Vicki Kinser, owner of La Grange's Friends and Fiber Shop, recently introduced the knitting and crocheting groups to Knitted Knockers, a program that has volunteers making prosthetic breasts for free to mastectomy patients.
"As soon as I heard about this program, I thought this was a really good fit for the ladies at the shop," Kinser said.
All Hallows' Eve is a night when ghosts, ghouls and goblins come out to play, but one La Grange group believes the supernatural is around us every day.
The Spirits of La Grange Ghost Tour, presented by Discover Downtown La Grange, educated many people this season about some of the city's most historical and haunted sites, according to coordinator Barbara Manley.
"The tours are very authentic because of the history being told," Manley said.
The first stop on the tour is Rails, located on East Main Street.
More than $16,000 will be given out this week to help 11 organizations with various community needs.
The funds come from the Oldham County Community Foundation, an offshoot of the Louisville-based Community Foundation. Precisely $16,150 will be given to fund projects from yoga therapy for cancer patients, a toddler education room, pre-diabetes screening and much more.
Scott Whitehouse, a board member with OCCF, said the amount of funds given out this year is a 34 percent increase over 2013 giving.

Arnold's case against principles extend to normative ones. Such principles infringe the root and branch utilitarianism that appears to be Arnold's sole guide to action. Making things worse, normative principles commonly contradict one another, and so only add to the difficulty of implementing 'practical' solutions. The upshot was that the 'method of principles' corners radicals in a struggle for an impossible Utopia, paralyses conservatives with Ideology (in Mannheim's sense), and leaves economists and lawyers 'preaching' rather than giving 'practical advice'.
Will an adjudication, then, award all to Villey? I do not think so. The relativism of Villey's notion of doctrine quavers precariously on the edge of subjectivism. All perspectives are equally valid, suggestsVilley, and the literal visual usage of the term is corroborating. But, to pursue that usage, are not some vistas more comprehending than others? And if it is replied that doctrine cannot reach a perfectly general outlook, but must remain in some measure personal, where lies the cognitive value of that personal aspect? Perspectives express our selves, suggest Villey. But if they only express our selves, are they anything more than 'personal style'? There is surely more 'news' in doctrine than that. But news of what? News of ourselves. Philosophers - in Villey's account- have sought to understand the world, but have only succeeded in understanding of themselves.

A RARE relic of Jewish medieval Britain has been found by archaeologists working at a building site.
The stone ritual bath, or mikvah, which was built before the expulsion of the Jews in 1290, was found last week in the old Jewish quarter of the City of London.
There is only one other medieval mikvah in Britain - at Jacob's Well in Bristol - and its discovery has been described as "astonishing". Britain's first sizeable Jewish community arrived after the Norman conquest of 1066 and became established in most cities.
However, as anti-Semitism rose, they were often the victims of pogroms and in 1290 were forced to flee England when Edward I issued the Edict of Expulsion, which also allowed the state to seize Jewish property. Jewish families were officially readmitted to England by Oliver Cromwell only 350 years later.
The newly-discovered mikvah was found in the cellar of a house in Milk Street. Made from finely cut greensand stone, it is semi-circular and is 4ft wide and 4ft deep. Seven steps lead down into the bath.
It would have been filled with rain or spring water and used by the women of the house and their friends after menstruation or childbirth, and before going to synagogues or weddings.
Bruce Watson, from the Museum of London Archaeology Service, who is overseeing the excavation, said: "It is beautifully constructed and has been built with care and reverence.
"We haven't got anything else like this and that is why this has been so exciting." The mitvah will be dismantled and is likely to be moved to the nearby 300-year-old Bevis Marks synagogue, the oldest in Britain.
Sam Lopes Dias, chairman of Bevis Marks synagogue committee, said: "We hope to get the mikvah on display on the courtyard of Bevis Marks in the next few weeks.
"This is a practical expression of the importance of Jews in this country in the 1200s. It shows they had a reasonably peaceful, safe and comfortable co-existence with Christians within the City walls."
David Nunes Vaz, of Bevis Marks Trust, said: "This could be the oldest mikvah in the country - it is an astonishing find and amazing to be able to site Jewish community here so long ago."
The archaeologists working on the site have already uncovered two Roman wells and lifting devices, and a Roman bronze arm which is thought to have belonged to a statue of Nero. Their dig can continue for another six weeks before building work starts.

Back in the day, I really wasn't very good at following instructions. I had found a recipe online for homemade chap stick, which called for coconut oil, and bee's wax. I couldn't find any coconut oil, so I thought that extra virgin olive oil would serve a good substitute. Then I assumed that normal candle wax was pretty much the same as bee's wax, so I used that instead. I was pretty disappointed with the result
There isn't really any moral to this story, other than make sure you follow the following instructions... but I just thought it was a funny story to share :)
So here it is! My recipe, 10 years later, for homemade chap stick. This is an awesome gift, and people are almost always way more impressed than they should be because this craft is SO easy
♥ Coconut oil- or virtually any type of solid oil... this includes coco butter and Shea butter. Many tutorials call for tons of other ingredients, but I just use coconut oil, and it turns out perfect
♥Bee's Wax
♥Essential oil- Your choice of which scent you would like, but make sure it is edible! Common flavors are lavender, rose merry, peppermint, and lemongrass, but if you wanna get a little crazy, here is the list of FDA approved essential oils safe for consumption
♥Chap stick container- Unless you have some sort of specialty store that you know of that sells empty chap stick tubes, you can either go to the dollar store and purchase a set of crappy chap sticks and just use the tubes from those... or... there are tons of online suppliers which sell beautiful little tins.... try here if you live in the US, or here for Canadians... for everyone else just do a google search for "lip balm tin"
Alternately, you could just scavenge your house, and find old chap sticks and tins
♥ Syringe or Dropper- Optional but recommended
I know I haven't added the amounts of bee's wax and coconut oil, but that's because I'll leave how much you want to make up to you
All you need to know is that the ratio of oil to wax should be 2:1
First, scoop out your coconut oil.
When I first saw coconut oil, I was alarmed at its hard texture... if you are like me, don't be :)
Next, measure out your oil and your bees wax. I used 4oz of wax, and 8 oz of oil... this made roughly 6 tubes of chap stick
Now, chop up your bees wax so it's nice and fine... this just speeds up the melting process
Add your wax to a pot
My mom was horrified when I originally tried using her nice copper sauce pan for this project, so perhaps stick to your ceramic pots.
By the way, nice nails in the picture, hey ? Tutorial for that here
Let your wax melt... it should look like this
(I know I take a lot of photo's, but whenever I do projects, I always doubt whether I'm doing it right, so I like to have lots of picture of what it should look like along the way)
Add in your oil once the wax is melted
Mix it up till it all melts
Suck up solution in your syringe
Pour the mixture into your tube or tin or whatever you've chosen to use
Add enough that it sits in a bubble at the top of the container, almost ready to overflow
This is because the liquid will contract when it cools off
Allow about 10 minutes to cool
And there you go!
Tips and Other Things
♥ To add a pigmint, you can either shave off a few strips from your favorite lipstick, or you can even throw in a crayon
♥ Tea Tree oil has antibacterial and healing properties (true story), and it smells great! Try a few drops in your chap stick
♥ Vitamin E helps protect and heal skin... you can also try adding this into the pot
♥ Try playing around with your desired texture. If you want it smoother and glossier, add more oil. If you are dissatisfied with the texture initially, you can always re-melt it and add in more oil or more wax
♥ If you make extra, you can seal it in a little Tupperware container and keep it till the next time you need a new batch of lip balm. Just add it to your pot again to re-melt
Enjoy your smooth, soft, kissable lips!
♥ Olivia

In recent years, experts have documented a disappearance of bees in what is widely called colony collapse disorder, blamed on many factors including parasites, fungi, stress, pesticides and viruses. But most studies have focused on honeybees.
Bumblebees are also important pollinators, Cameron said, but are far less studied. Bumblebees pollinate tomatoes, blueberries and cranberries, she noted.
As with honeybees, a pathogen is partly involved, but the researchers also found evidence of inbreeding caused by habitat loss.
To read more on colony collapse disorder and for guidelines on how farmers across the U.S. are making their land more bee-friendly, see our Summer 2010 World Ark article "Beauty and the Bees" by Sarah Schmidt.

One of the things that I absolutely love about living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is how mild the winter is. Yes, we had to bring our plants in December because there are a few days that will get below freezing, but on the whole not many. Our plants will be able to comfortably go back out on the porch in a couple of weeks, and I know they will be happy about that! About a year or so ago, we had snow and ice – enough ice (about half an inch) to close schools for three days…simply because we don't get that kind of weather here often, and it really is just better if we decide to not get out in it. I've lived places where you get feet of snow, and I'll take a Gulf Coast Winter any day.
Because our winters are so mild, we can do things like go to a Mardi Gras parade in shorts and a t-shirt…if we want. I've brought you a few pictures of the Ocean Springs Krewe of Elks parade, but there are always more. With highs near 60, and plenty of sunshine, this is what winter often looks like on the Coast.
It's not a parade without the police on their motorcycles to kick things off or plenty of flags. With so many communities and counties across the Coast, there are plenty of officers to take part in the parade. And with three military bases along the Coast, we have plenty of flag corps to join in the parades as well. I believe the above group is from Keesler Air Force base here on the Coast.
And on the Coast…or in New Orleans…it's not a parade without throws. Beads, koozies, toys, doubloons, moon pies. All kinds of wonderful goodness that we all scramble for, no matter what our age.
(note the cigarette. Most parade riders are also drinking. There's a reason for the bigger floats having a port-a-pot as a key feature)
Children are staples on the floats in these smaller parades. Unless it is a children's parade, you won't see kids riding the floats in New Orleans, but come on down to the Gulf Coast, and it's a family affair from the streets to the rides.
But it's not just the kids. Parades are for those who have been riding for decades. (The Ocean Springs parade has rolled for 40 years)
Most people on the floats are dressed up because Mardi Gras gives us an excuse to bring out our alter egos. If you're not normally flamboyant, Mardi Gras is your chance to live it up.
It takes all kinds for a Mardi Gras parade on a winter's day – even those who are spreading the gospel, tossing out bibles instead of beads.
And no parade is complete with out some dancers. These tiny dancers, who by the time they got to us near the end of the parade route, had been out there shaking their groove thangs and walking for hours. But they were still bringing it, and you have love that.
What does a winter's day look like where you are? Have you been enjoying some sunshine and warmth or have you been buried under the furies of Juno and her brother?
This post is in response to a prompt from Kat Bouska, as part of her Writing Prompts for 2/3/2015 and is part of Treasure Tromp's Treat Yo' Self Thursday.

Art League names Gagnon Artist of Year
The Art League of Henderson County has selected Kathy Gagnon as the Artist of the Year. The selection was made during the annual Christmas luncheon at Hendersonville Country Club, which celebrates the past year of artistic achievement.
Gagnon was an accomplished oil painter before she switched to watercolor. She was attracted to watercolor's transparency and the wonder of the random challenges created by the medium. Her paintings are generally from a muted palette and exhibit a glow that can only be achieved by layer upon layer of paint. Her favorite subjects are florals and still lifes, although she is accomplished at other subjects. The painting selected to compete was a complex and subtle study of a pumpkin and vine in shades of green, russet and orange.
Gagnon is a teacher, and her work has appeared in numerous publications. She has been treasurer of the Art League and has been involved with the organization for years.

Reception for World War II exhibits Jan. 12
Asheville Art Museum has debuted two exhibitions recognizing the history and haunting memory of Nazi Germany during World War II and the legacy of those who survived.
The opening reception for "Survivors and Liberators: Portraits by Wilma Bulkin Siegel" and "In the Camps: Photographs by Erich Hartmann" exhibits is set for 5-7 p.m. Jan. 12 at the museum at 2 N. Pack Square.
"Survivors and Liberators" will be on display through March 31. In 2003, Siegel began painting portraits of what is a dwindling population: Holocaust survivors living in South Florida.
Siegel's often grand-scaled watercolors are bold, direct and very personal portraits. She incorporates photographs and other mementos belonging to the subjects into their portraits. A short biography of the subject accompanies each portrait, retracing their route from Europe's concentration camps to life in the United States.
"In the Camps" will be on display through April 14. Born in Munich, Germany, Hartmann was 16 when he and his family came to the United States as refugees from Nazi persecution.
After the war, he worked in New York City as an assistant to a portrait photographer and later as a freelance photographer. In l952, he was invited to join Magnum Photos, an international photographers' cooperative founded two years after the end of WWII.
Hartmann first became known to a wider public in the l950s through a series of photo essays for Fortune magazine, beginning with "The Deep North" (1956).
Admission to the museum is $8 for adults and $7 for seniors and students (K-12 and college students with college ID). Children age 5 and younger are admitted free. Members are admitted free.
Call 828-253-3227 or visit www.ashevilleart.org for more information.

'Beauty Shop Stories' at Fine Arts Center Jan. 11
Tryon Fine Arts Center on Melrose Avenue will present actress, singer, writer and storyteller Faye Lane in "Beauty Shop Stories" at 8 p.m. Jan. 11.

The 90-minute performance is filled with heartwarming tales, songs and comical impersonations of the many ladies Lane encountered at the beauty shop.
When Lane was just a little girl, she would wear a "glittered-up" Burger King crown, practicing her beauty queen acceptance speech and dreaming of being the star of the stage.
As an adult, Lane has become a writer and performer whose blending of story and song moved New York Magazine to gush, "She had them gobbling from the palm of her hand. They were howling, crying, falling in love with her."
Lane has performed "Beauty Shop Stories" from coast to coast, and is the only storyteller to win both the East and West Coast Moth Story Slam in L.A. and in New York.
For tickets call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org for more info.
