This is an extremely personal call since each type of boat is very different. Keep in mind that you will be going to see the very same areas but the issue being discussed is simply regarding the type of vessel you will be taking.
In a nutshell: the larger boats are generally more stable in the water and there is plenty of room to get up and walk around. On the other hand the rafting boats or hard bottom inflatables are a much more adventurous option. Typically the rafts will generally be about an hour shorter in all, perhaps 4 hours as adverse to 5 hours in duration.
The following is a list of the types of persons that would find each of the boats appealing:
Large boats........... Senior citizens, handicapped individuals, people prone to seasickness, people who like to stay out of the sun, people who like to have restrooms on their boat, people who like to get up and stretch their legs, small children, ponies (no. just checking to see if you were paying attention), people not desiring to get wet, people who enjoy sailing on the larger sailboats, people who prefer an onboard buffet, people who like swim platforms and ladders to get on and off the boat, people who like waterslides and people who like to drink alcohol.
Rafting Boats.........People who crave excitement, people who like to be closer to the sea life, people who enjoy more intimate group sizes and like to have more access to the captain for questions and conversation, people who are just fine with the restrooms on board being non-existent (boys in the ocean on the left and girls in the ocean on the right), people who don't have problems with their backs or necks, people who don't mind the occasional rough seas, and people who feel the need for speed.

Of the eight major islands in Hawaii, six of them have airports: Big Island, Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Lanai. You are likely aware of the major airports on each island such as Honolulu International Airport, Lihue Airport, Kahului Airport and Kona International Airport but there are a number of much small commuter type airports that are interspersed among the islands.
This is a story of failure. This is also a story of success. Whether the balance tips in favor of success or failure is a subjective decision and you can decide.
Adventure travel is one of the most popular segments of the travel industry. In recent years there has been tremendous global growth in adventure travel.
Nothing will bring shivers down your spine faster than the site of an 8 inch centipede (in Hawaii, they can actually reach a foot in length). When you see one it is always startling as they are seemingly there for a moment and then they are gone.
Of the various types of volcanoes found on the Earth, the least destructive of them are the Shield Volcanoes such as the ones found in Hawaii. These volcanoes are primarily made of basalt, which in its fluid state is less viscous or sticky and as an analogy it flows more like water than like honey.
Not that you would want to, but if you did want to enter into a world of confusion, just bring up the concept of climatic zones in Hawaii. As you are well aware, the planet has a multitude of different climates.

Have you ever seen a beach with green sand? Well you have a chance to do so if you are going to bevisiting the Big Island. Actually you are going to have to really want to see it because it is located off the main road and down a very bumpy dirt road which leads to 'South Point' which is the very furthest point south on the Big Island as well as being the very furthest point south in Hawaii and for that matter the very furthest point south in the United States.
Just as reliable as Old Faithful at Yellowstone Park, the mysterious Box Jellyfish of Hawaii will arrive on its shores between 8 and 12 days after each full moon.

Walking on the soft white sand of a beautiful beach in Hawaii is what we all dream about. Are we aware how truly amazing this exercise is for us however?
The accolades are endless regarding the beauty of the Na Pali Coastline on the North Shore of Kauai. Why do so many people think this is the most beautiful piece of coast line they have ever seen? It is because this is the most beautiful piece of coastline they have ever seen.
So many of the things we observe about whales and their behavior are a mystery to us. Explanations about many topics regarding whales are simply conjecture or best case likelihoods but in reality are only good guesses.

Yes there are literally hundreds of Oahu activities and Oahu tours that are available on the island. What many people don't realize is that Oahu has some really unique tours that you simply wouldn't expect.
As we do on each of the islands, we will give you a ranking here of the 10 most popular Maui activities and Maui tours. This is important information for you, particularly on Maui, because, the activities that are most popular are also the ones that book up first.
Kauai Tours and Kauai Activities are very different than those found on the other Hawaiian islands. The primary reason for this has to do with the geography of the island of Kauai.
The Big Island delivers primordial experiences, and these experiences translate easily into Big Island tours and Big Island activities as you will shortly see.

Manufactured to the highest standards, the Energizer range is compliant with the latest industry regulations and includes high performance, economical and sustainable technologies.
This particular spotlight is non-dimmable, however, we do have dimmable GU10 spotlights available in our spotlight categories. If you are choosing a dimmable LED, you may require a Trailing Edge dimmer switch. Please contact us if you're unsure on your dimmer switch compatibility.

Since LED light bulbs are designed to use less energy than halogen spots, wattage is not a reliable way to gauge how bright the bulb is. Brightness is measured in Lumens.
With LED spotlights there is more to consider than just a direct Lumen comparison with the halogen equivalent. The superior light quality given off by LEDs and much lower bulb degradation rate over time must also be taken into account. This is why the stated Lumen output for an LED spotlight is often less than that quoted for a halogen spot bulb it replaces.
Beam Angle°
The beam angle is how wide the beam is spread. If you have a very narrow beam angle your light will be projected like a handheld torch whereas if you have a wide beam angle it will be much softer and spread like a traditional bulb. Wide beam angle are best for living areas such as living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where you are looking for a softer light and narrow beam angles for targeting specific areas or for decoration.
Power Consumption (W)
The wattage is the value given to the energy consumed by the light bulb itself. So, a 50-watt halogen spotlight bulb will use 50 watts of power. If you have 6 x 50-watt halogen spots in your kitchen then you will be using 300 watts of power. If you were using replacement LED lights at 4 watts each you would be using 24 watts of power, resulting in huge energy savings.
Input Voltage
This is a measurement of the volts required to operate the bulb. The standard for the UK is 240 volts. This means that you can plug these directly into existing fittings without changing any of the electrics.
Height (mm)
The size determines the diameter and the length of the bulb. In most cases the bulbs are a retro-fit, which means they are a direct replacement for their halogen equivalent.
Width (mm)
The size determines the diameter and the length of the bulb. In most cases the bulbs are a retro-fit, which means they are a direct replacement for their halogen equivalent.
Depth (mm)
The size determines the diameter and the length of the bulb. In most cases the bulbs are a retro-fit, which means they are a direct replacement for their halogen equivalent.
Wattage Replacement
This details what this LED bulb is a replacement for in terms of standard halogen bulb wattage. This allows you to easily make a comparison when replacing your existing halogen bulb, to ensure you get a similar light quality and brightness from your new LED bulb
Average Life in Hrs
Manufacturers will give lifetime claims in multiples of 1000 hours. One thousand hours is equivalent to about 6-months use when the bulb is on for 4 hours per day. A traditional halogen spotlight bulb is expected to last about one year (2000 hours) where as an LED will last between 30,000 and 50,000 hours - that's between 15 and 25 years! Switching to LEDs means you may never have to change your light bulbs again.
Base Type
This is the fitting of the bulb, described by a letter/number code. You can find out what your fitting is by looking on the base of the bulb you are replacing or the packaging of your existing bulb.
Dimmable LED bulbs are only compatible with a dedicated "Trailing Edge" dimmer switch that reduces the current flow. Your bulbs will not work effectively if used with the conventional "Leading Edge" dimmer switches that operate with a higher current flow.
When ordering dimmable LEDs please ensure you have an LED-compatible Dimmer Switch.
Protection Rating
The IP rating is an international classification system for the sealing effectiveness of enclosures of electrical equipment against the intrusion into the equipment of foreign bodies (i.e. tools, dust, fingers) and moisture. IP65 for example, is dust tight and water resistant.
Colour Rendering Index (CRI)
Measured on a scale from 0 to 100 percent, the colour rendering index (CRI) indicates a bulb's ability to make reds, greens, and all other shades look just the way they should. Simply put, the higher the CRI, the more accurate an object's colour would look under the light source.

Watch These Veterans and Their Dogs Reuniting At Last — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="5022145″]
Get ready to have your emotions played like a flute.
It's not like you needed a reminder that dogs and humans can form very strong bonds, but it's still a pleasure to see those connections play out in front of you. There's no guile here, neither from the human or the pooch—just love.
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.


text: To continue yesterday's post on Marc Jacob's Fall collection, the campaign came out these past couple weeks and only reinforces the sense of nostalgia I got from the show. As for the first shot, well, that kind of carpet-wallpaper-furniture combo just brings a certain sentimentality to the already wistful shimmery bow dress and long brown skirt. The last two remind me of the part of childhood nostalgia where you try and recall what it's like to really enjoy the things around you and to find them new and exciting. So basically what I'm trying to say is, Juergen Teller is a time-traveling copycat who went into the future, read my blog, and then used my interpretation of it for his photography. The joke is on him, though, because his copycatting forced me to write that sentence, which made me think of a great new idea for a television series I will soon try to get in development: TIME-TRAVELING CAT.

Carb-Conscious and South Beach Diet Friendly Flatbread Pizza to Make at Home
This Carb-Conscious Flatbread Pizza can help satisfy that pizza craving with less carbs!
Turn the flatbread over and put a scant two tablespoons of pizza sauce on the toasted side. I spread it around with a pastry brush.
South Beach Diet Friendly Flatbread Pizza
(Makes 2 servings of pizza)
1 piece Multi-Grain FlatOut flatbread
1 tsp. + 1 tsp. olive oil
2 T Muir Glen Pizza sauce (or use any low-sugar sauce)
1/2 cup + 1/4 cup low-fat grated pizza cheese (I used a blend of Part-Skim Mozarella, Provolone, Romano, and Parmesan cheese)
12-15 pieces turkey pepperoni (or use Canadian bacon or turkey Italian Sausage, precooked)
4 oz. sliced mushrooms, sauteed (or use other veggies of your choice)
Remove cookie sheet from oven and turn flatbread over, then spread 2 T pizza sauce on the toasted side, spreading around with your fingers or a pastry brush so there is a very thin layer of pizza sauce on the entire surface of flatbread. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over sauce, and spread around so it covers sauce. Layer pepperoni, then mushrooms, over the cheese, finishing with 1/4 cup more cheese.
Put cookie sheet back into hot oven and cook pizza 7-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and slightly browned and pizza is done. Watch it carefully the last couple of minutes. Cut in half for two servings, and serve hot.

South Beach Suggestions:
With the suggested ingredients to make this South Beach Diet friendly, I'm guessing this would be approved for phase two or three of the South Beach diet. The nutritional information certainly compares favorably with the Frozen South Beach Deluxe Pizza, and would be about the same size serving. Served with a Perfect Restaurant Quality Salad, this would be a great dinner.

I've been putting together notes on my FALL VIBES, because for some reason it gives me a great deal of satisfaction for it all to be organized, and because I didn't realize til trying to explain it just now that I am just a huge huge nerd. These are the things that determine how I dress and take photos and maybe even act (which is probably not very healthy) according to the season. I don't know why it matters so much to me, I think because I get really nostalgic, and it's nice to have memories that feel like perfectly composed photographs. Like, it's really disorienting to think that I first watched Twin Peaks in the spring! Also when all the sounds and smells and looks of things fit together nicely it feels like synesthesia and I feel more alive and everything feels special.
Also, everything in all of these posts were very much on the brain when we were working on September for Rookie. DO YOU READ IT? BECAUSE YOU SHOULD! If you like reading my blog, then here are a few things I wrote for Rookie that you might also like reading: editor's letter, how to get over girl hate, a birthday tribute, bullying, and an interview with Aubrey Plaza. You should look at what everyone else wrote too, though! You will not be disappointed.
Today we start with the suburbs part.
Blue Velvet
Desperate Housewives
Stepford Wives
Girls by Valerie Phillips
Life is Life
Twin Peaks
The most important one, along with River's Edge. I am reusing old screencaps I have of it because getting all the details that make it so perfect would require capping the entire series (minus half of season 2, sigh).
River's Edge
I hadn't seen it in a while when I wrote the notes for it, so screencapping it I was reminded of all the flannel and red cars and whatnot that I left out above. It's about a guy who kills his girlfriend, seemingly only because he suddenly finds himself with the power to, and shows off the body to his friends, whose reactions vary from indifferent to indifferent with a hint of guilt. It's really disturbing, rewatching it to screencap it kind of bummed me out and I ended up taking a really long nap. Wahh wahhhhh. Crispin Glover manages to both have the worst haircut in the world and be really cute, and Dennis Hopper plays the most Dennis Hopper-y of characters. It's like a more explicitly dark Twin Peaks, vibes-wise.
I don't have much to write about any of these, except River's Edge, because it's all in real live handwriting above! Maybe the future of blogging is WRITING THINGS ON PAPER?! Speaking of such a pressing topic, I was interviewed by Audie Cornish for NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday about Rookie and other things and you can listen to it here.

I hate to be someone who apologizes for not updating their blog, but I do regret not updating as much lately because I have lots to say! Lots of ~inspiration and ideas! All this energy is going into my room, which for about three years has looked like this. And that is probably the one and only trait I do not want to share with Leslie Knope.
Tee, gift from Sophomore. Soft cardigan with girl scout patch from Troop Moore on ebay. Miu Miu skirt. Random headband and tights. Backpack I've used since I was 4.
I took this picture a couple months ago, going for some Heathers/Twin Peaks vibes, but started thinking too much about how I look in it and avoided posting it for a while. I wasn't insecure, quite the opposite -- I didn't want to post this photo because I look good in it. And, as someone whose "thing" for so long has been "Challenge beauty standards! Screw convention! Look like a grandmother on ecstasy at Fashion Week!", that somehow felt hypocritical.
First, let's talk about beauty privilege real quick, just so we're all clear and so I don't sound like a jerk:
When I say good or pretty or attractive, I mean by the standards that dictate our society, which usually start with being thin and white. I'm not saying I always like how I look, and you may look at the picture above and be like "what are you talking about you resemble an opossum," but through the very narrow lens of mainstream media, pop culture, etc., I possess some beauty privilege.
People who are conventionally attractive have the privilege of going through life knowing their appearance will usually not act as a barrier in accomplishing what they want to accomplish. Of course, this is a general statement, but typically, Pretty Woman does not have to worry about missing out on opportunities because of her appearance. (Pretty Woman also gets Richard Gere.) So when some people have to live with being judged based on appearance as well as or instead of merit, it would be really annoying for someone who doesn't have to worry about that as much to try to say she deals with the same thing. It's not bragging to acknowledge your own privilege, and pointing out that you meet certain society-dictated standards does not have to mean you agree with them. I strongly recommend this article for a better understanding of beauty privilege.
(Educational tone over.)
The general voice of my blog has been very much against the idea of those (or, in a way, any) standards for a long time, maybe not in so many words, but definitely in sprit. I once relished in an email I got saying I was an ugly boy because it felt like proof that I hadn't given in to societal pressure to be pretty that girls usually feel affected by. I got all self reflecty on Tumblr about creating my own ideas of beauty. I wrote simply during September's No Makeup Week that I never felt the urge to wear any. I used to dress much more frumpily and goofily, on here and in public real life. Which was great, and I loved it. But, as is the point of this blog, my style has changed a bit.
I would be lying to say it ends at simply wanting to try a different aesthetic of dressing, though. With one's freshman year of high school comes a new batch of insecurities and a new kind of self-awareness. Except...I would be lying to say it ends there, too, because I know I'm smarter than that, and I know I have a good bullshit filter when it comes to conformity pressure in high school and women's magazines and men's magazines and industries that thrive on their female demographics' insecurities.
Before I got contacts in March, I just never really counted myself in the general pool of people who might be considered attractive. I wasn't insecure about how I looked, I just made peace with the fact that I wasn't, to me, an attractive person, and decided to milk my charming personality instead. The glasses were an easy way to isolate myself from even having to consider keeping up some kind of face. Then I slowly came to feel that, well, maybe I did want my face to be visible. Maybe I liked my face. Is that not okay?
"To force some forever identity on other people is stupid. Point out inconsistencies in their behavior, explain how they are not 'truly what they say' because you saw them 'do this' one time...why? Because it's easier to deal with cardboard cutouts than real people." -Kathleen Hanna
She has a point! And while confining people into caricatures is extremely convenient, it can just be a way to simplify issues that are fairly complicated into something black and white. In an ideal world, I could be a 15 year old girl with a certain amount of public attention and crushes at school who wouldn't want all these things. Right now, I could pretend to be an archetype of a feminist superhero and say I never want to be a conventionally attractive person. But, while I have so much respect for the people who can say that truthfully, I'm not there yet. I think it would be, in my case, much more effective to be honest and willing to have this conversation instead of signing myself to a stereotype I can't fit. I admit to the basic human desire to be attractive. That's certainly not all I want to be, and I'm not bending over backwards every morning for it, but it's there.
I don't know if I'm trying to justify this to readers of this blog or to myself. I do know I'm uncomfortable pretending, on a blog that is, on a certain level, about appearance, and my personal ~journey~ with it, that I can keep up with a set of principles developed when I was younger and different and 12 years old. But I mentioned earlier my bullshit filter, and I think it's that awareness that makes it easy for me to know that my new almost-daily makeup routine and glassesslessness and etc. are for myself and no one else.
But even if I have my own reasons for doing so, I still can't help but feel a little uneasy about playing their game.

Elton John shares Grammy stage with young rockers
LOS ANGELES Elton John still fills stadiums worldwide on his own, but he'll share the spotlight with a dozen other musicians at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
The 65-year-old entertainer rehearsed Saturday at Staples Center alongside young Grammy nominees Mumford & Sons, Zac Brown, Ed Sheeran and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes.
John prepared for two performances: a rousing rendition of the Band's "The Weight" that also featured T. Bone Burnett and Mavis Staples, and a duet of Sheeran's single "The A Team."
- Grammys spread the love with 6 top nominees
- Complete Coverage: The 55th annual Grammy Awards
- Complete coverage of the Grammy Awards at CBS.com
"The fun of it for me is playing with other people," said John, wearing a navy Adidas tracksuit and his trademark red shades.
He also loves the Band's classic American sound.
"You've got a lot of British people up there playing American music, because that's what we love," he said of the Levon Helm tribute, which John dedicated to "the teachers and students of Sandy Hook Elementary School, whose songs ended too soon."
The Grammy Awards honor all kinds of music, but John said, "It should be more of a potpourri than it is."
"It's a bit ageist," he added.
"You're lucky it's ageist!" joked Grammy Awards executive producer Ken Ehrlich.
"T. Bone and I are the oldest people to play the Grammys," John said. "And we're only 30."

It is possible to develop gestational diabetes with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing gestational diabetes. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk factors for gestational diabetes include:
Obesity or Overweight
Studies found that women with a body mass index (BMI) of 25.0 to 29.9 (classified as overweight) are at an increased risk of gestational diabetes. If your BMI is over 30, you are at an even greater risk.
Gestational Diabetes in a Previous Pregnancy
If you had gestational diabetes with a previous pregnancy, this puts you at risk for developing the condition again.
Being older than 35 may increase your risk of gestational diabetes.
Family History of Diabetes
If you have a first-degree relative (parents, siblings) with diabetes, your risk of gestational diabetes is increased.
You may be at an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes if you are:
- Hispanic American
- Native American
- Asian American
- African American
- Pacific Islander
Previous Delivery of a Large Baby
If you delivered a baby who was excessively large at birth (called macrosomia ), this increases your chance of gestational diabetes in your next pregnancy.
Other Risk Factors
- Having a history of glucose intolerance
- Having a history of polycystic ovary syndrome
- Being pregnant with more than one fetus (multiple gestation)
- Gaining weight rapidly during pregnancy
- Sleep-disordered breathing—abnormal breathing during sleep ranging from snoring to sleep apnea
- Having risk factors related to childbirth, such, having a previous stillbirth , having a child with a birth defect, having too much amniotic fluid surrounding baby during pregnancy
