1: Moonrise Kingdom's
only nomination is in the consolation prize category of best original screenplay. Unfortunately for the quirky Wes Anderson film, it seems this year's Academy vote for film-with-kid-leads went to
Beasts of the Southern Wild
. Anderson's co-writer on the film was Roman Coppola, who is the son of Francis Ford, grandson of Carmine, brother of Sofia and cousin of Nicolas Cage, all past Oscar winners (and a handy voting bloc too).
2: French star Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest nominee for her performance in Amour and turns 86 on the day of the awards. That makes her older than the 85-year-old Oscars themselves. At the age of 9, Beasts of the Southern Wild's lead Quvenzhane Wallis is the youngest to figure in the Best Actress category, taking that record from Keisha Castle-Hughes for her 2003 Whale Rider nomination at the age of 13. But my, how fast they grow up ...
3: Guys who might be feeling aggrieved: How about John Goodman and Samuel L. Jackson? Goodman put in two memorable supporting turns in both Argo and Flight - previous winner Alan Arkin was nominated instead for Argo and while Denzel Washington got a best actor nod for Flight for his coke-sniffing alcoholic pilot, Goodman's colourful turn as his drug dealer didn't make the cut.
Meanwhile, Jackson's role of the Uncle Tom manservant in Django Unchained is his fourth role in a Quentin Tarantino film and is arguably his best performance in any of them, though he was Oscar-nominated for his hitman Jules Winnifield in Pulp Fiction.
But just as with Inglourious Basterds, which earned him a best supporting Oscar, Christoph Waltz's wordy German charms have made him the only actor in the Django ensemble to be recognised. At least Samuel L. can console himself as being the biggest box office star of all time, thanks to his attachments to the likes of Star Wars, The Avengers, and The Incredibles.
4: Gals who might be feeling aggrieved: Anyone nominated against Anne Hathaway in the best supporting actress category? Especially as she's only in Les Miserables for about 15 minutes to complete the song-for-a-gong transaction. Sure, in that time her despairing Fantine also sells her hair and flogs off some molars - a rare case of giving their eye teeth for an Oscar. And while playing Catwoman marked Oscar-winner Halle Berry's fall from grace, Hathaway's turn at the comic book feline femme fatale in The Dark Knight Rises gave that final Christopher Nolan Batman film a much-needed lift.
5: Agencies who might be feeling aggrieved: MI6, whose longest-serving employee won plenty of plaudits for his 50th anniversary excursion Skyfall, but came up short on any major nominations. Whereas the CIA have two films about their intelligence work - Argo and Zero Dark Thirty - in multiple categories.
6: If Steven Spielberg wins best director for Lincoln but best picture goes to Argo - as is highly possible because actor Ben Affleck isn't among the nominated directors - at least he knows how it feels. The same thing happened in 1998 when he won for Saving Private Ryan and Shakespeare in Love won best picture.
7: Since its inception in 2000, this is the first year that stop-motion animation - with three out of five nods - has dominated the animation category with Frankenweenie, ParaNorman and Pirates! Band of Misfits up against the computer-driven efforts of Pixar's Brave and Disney's Wreck-It Ralph. Given the back-story to Tim Burton's Frankenweenie - it was a project that got his younger self fired from Disney - and that Burton has never won an Oscar, don't be surprised if he wins on the night.
8: The only star to figure both in this year's Oscars and the 33rd Golden Raspberry Awards - or Razzies - the night before is Barbra Streisand. She'll be singing at the Oscars and she's up for worst actress at the Razzies for comedy The Guilt Trip.
9: Since winning his first Best Actor Oscar in 1989 for My Left Foot, Daniel Day-Lewis has appeared in just 10 more features. Among his fellow nominees, Denzel Washington, who won Best Supporting Actor in 1989 has made 35 features, while Bradley Cooper has made 23 since 2001 and Hugh Jackman has made 28 since 1999. Then again, best actress nominee Emmanuelle Riva has only made a dozen or so since her first in 1959.
Being fussy has its merits.

text: News Hillary Clinton called 'out of touch' after 'dead broke' remark Hillary Clinton speaks during an event at the University of Miamis BankUnited Center on February 26, 2014. June 11, 2014 6:42 AM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email Accused of being out of touch after making comments about her finances, likely presidential candidate Hillary Clinton headed for a speaking engagement on Tuesday that could earn her up to $250,000. Clinton's address to food trade groups in Chicago comes as she takes heat for comments that her family was "dead broke" when it left the White House in 2000, despite the considerable income she and former president Bill have earned subsequently along with the luxury real estate assets they have managed to acquire. Her annual salary as secretary of state was $186,600. "Between their million-dollar mansions in New York and Washington and her ridiculously expensive speaking fees, it's clear nobody could be more out of touch than Hillary Clinton," said Republican National Committee spokesman Jahan Wilcox. The fuss over her comments in an ABC News interview released Monday overshadowed the launch in New York on Tuesday of Clinton's latest book, "Hard Choices," seen as a prelude to a campaign for the 2016 presidential election. The early favorite to win that race, Clinton made no reference to her finances in remarks at a midtown Manhattan book store where hundreds gathered for signed copies of the book. Some had lined up outside all night. She made conciliatory comments on Tuesday, telling ABC's "Good Morning America" that she appreciates "how hard life is" for many Americans. After the book event, Clinton was to fly to Chicago to address a food conference at a joint session of the United Fresh Produce Association and the Food Marketing Institute, two trade groups. Similar speeches have likely earned her up to $250,000 each since she left the State Department last year, according to sources familiar with speaking fees for public figures. Her Chicago address is sponsored by Wonderful Brands, the makers of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice, which is owned by longtime Democratic donors Lynda and Stewart Resnick. Liberals have criticized Clinton for taking money from financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, for speeches they say make her beholden to big business. Polls show Clinton would win the Democratic nomination if she wanted it. But her obvious wealth combined with her sometimes clumsy attempts to appear as a normal citizen are a weak point, said Julian Zelizer, a professor of political history at Princeton. "This has always been a challenge for Clinton, who is perfect on paper but often fails to connect. She needs to be honest with voters and not try to be someone different. In the end she needs to realize that her genuine self is probably her greatest selling point," he said. By the time President Clinton left the White House, he had outstanding legal fees of around $4 million, according to press accounts at the time. But the Clintons' federal tax returns indicate they paid those debts by 2004 after income from speaking tours by Bill and Hillary's memoir "Living History," which reached $1.1 million in 2002 and another $2.28 million in 2003.

As part of an e-mail RSVP process with a young couple on their upcoming wedding celebration, they noted that they were seeking input from long-married couples on tips for a successful marriage and looking for any good advice for young fools in love.
My wife had a very simple, net message that is difficult to argue with:
"As for advice, well, the best we can offer is to not follow the advice of others. That's meddling! No one knows what's inside a relationship better than those in the relationship. The view from the outside is never true."
They asked over a week ago and I've been thinking about it every since. Of course, I'm framing my answer with my work-life view. Although I'm not really blogging anymore (having found the right life-work balance for me), I felt compelled to document all my thinking here in Balanced Bits (and of course, I had to make a chart!).
Work-Life balance encompasses Work, your Relationships, and You. Success around these are all centered around how you deal with people and challenges. To me it is not being judgemental and to not let every little thing bother you. It may be simplistic, but just take a deep breath the next time a car cuts you off and move on.
For your Work, it is important for you to figure out if you want a job, a career, or even a life staying at home. I have blogged on this a number of times and won't go into it further into it here, but the key is to thoughtfully make the right choices for you and no one else.
Life is about both you and your relationships. Don't forget about taking care of yourself as well as your partner. Also, remember how important family can be. All of these are impacted by the choices you make!
Whether it is work and/or yourself, make sure you find your passion. And if we remember to to not judge, the best behavior with your partner or your family is to love unconditionally.
The last piece I added specifically is to have lots of communications between you, your partner, your boss, etc.
It's all that simple to me.
Good Luck and all our love to the happy couple! We are excited to be sharing in their happy day.
P.S. Let me add a personal update since I haven't blogged in two years. We have sold the house in suburbia and are living in Vermont and loving it. We shop at a food co-op and a farm stand, have local farms for meats and are enjoying an active lifestyle. We are renovating an apartment in Manhattan as our second home and hope it gets done soon! Great friends in many places and all the right part-time work projects round it out to keep the brain going (along with the NYTimes Crossword). My work projects can be found on my LinkedIn profile.

Thrilling, really. We played with paint and paper and the concept of creating small books as pieces to be worn. Size, in this case, doesn't matter - some of us worked very large!).
|One of my fellow students stack of scrolls. To be worn as a necklace.
neatly with a bow. And then: how easy that is to do to women. We say of small girls: she's a sweetheart - even though she may not be. And so, what is wrong with saying "She's a corker, that one!" I'd rather she was a corker, a character, a tough cookie. She'll go far.
And so sketches grow into thoughts and thoughts, well we should let them continue to move.
I'll be posting more about the idea of using sketches in different media over at The Sketchbook Challenge in the next couple of days. Will add the links back here.

Japanese brands seem to be experimenting more with 'mineral' make up and I thought it was rather groovy to see Shisedo's Integrate brand releasing a liquid mineral foundation!
They also do a powder mineral foundation and a mineral base. I've tried the powder foundation and found it no different to standard powder foundation in texture.
Integrate's mineral range is curiously called 'Be happy with the power of Mineral' (see more silly names here) which may've been better named 'Be happy your less ugly with a layer of foundation'.
But guess what – I'm not Shiseido's official product namer person….Here's the bottle. It's squeezy like the ones you get ketchup in:
I bought OC30 which is the darkest shade – like MAQUillage, the OC30 in these two ranges match my skintone pretty well. I saw pretty well because it is still a tad 'ashy' for my liking but nothing my powder and bronzer can't balance out. Oh it is very yellow based so keep away, pink-ettes!
Otherwise, Japanese ranges suck badly for not catering for olive to dark skin tones. I guess they don't really have to but still…it would be nice *bows*.
I like this bottle. I like how unglam it is. Reminds me of MAC Face and Body foundation except you get about 10 times more with that.
The texture of this is runny, but not too runny. I really like it actually, because it feels light on the skin, sinks in quickly but gives a decent amount of glowy coverage.
This product has a lot going for it – it's 100% SOMETHING (or so it says on the box…I don't know what it says but to be 100% anything must be good). It has a great texture, it sinks in nicely and doesn't irritate my skin.
It has a SPF of 23 (random) and is fragrance free. It seems to cover redness well and deals with oily areas (like my nose) well. It's well priced at about £12.
On my skin:
And yet I'm not totally convinced by this base. I'd have no hesitation in picking it up and using it for nearly any situation but the shade is slightly off, and it clings to flaky bits on my cheeks too.
And you seem to get a tiny amount – it's actually 30ml which is standard but it feels like there isn't much. Maybe because it reminds me of ketchup and I like a lot of ketchup.
Worth a try if you want a liquid mineral base with SPF and also if you have yellow toned skin.

Bruce primed to take 'next step' for Reds
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jay Bruce, it can be said, is on the precipice of full stardom.
The Reds' two-time All-Star right fielder is already a major impact player, having averaged 32 homers and 102 RBIs over the past three seasons, including a career-high 109 RBIs in 2013.View Full Game Coverage
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jay Bruce, it can be said, is on the precipice of full stardom.
The Reds' two-time All-Star right fielder is already a major impact player, having averaged 32 homers and 102 RBIs over the past three seasons, including a career-high 109 RBIs in 2013.View Full Game Coverage
And Bruce has his own lofty expectations.
"Expectations for myself are to be better, to be better than I have been ever," Bruce said Sunday in the Reds' clubhouse in Goodyear, Ariz., only hours before his team played the Angels across town at Tempe Diablo Stadium. "I want to continue to get better and never settle for anything. No matter what I've done in years past, I want to stay in the present and take the next step as a player."
That's pretty much what Bruce is anticipating from Cincinnati: to make it back to the playoffs and take at least the next step into the National League Championship Series. Since 2010, the Reds have been knocked out twice in the NL Division Series, and last year they were eliminated by the Pirates in the NL Wild Card Game.
Bruce looks around and sees mostly the same cast of characters, sans starter Bronson Arroyo, who signed as a free agent with the D-backs; center fielder Shin-Soo Choo, signed as a free agent with the Rangers; and manager Dusty Baker, replaced by pitching coach Bryan Price.
Left-hander Tony Cingrani seems to have the inside track on the fifth rotation spot. He made 18 starts last year filling in for injured pitchers and had a 7-4 record and a 2.92 ERA. The speedster Billy Hamilton, with 395 Minor League stolen bases and 13 more for Cincinnati last year in 13 big league games, gives the Reds a much different look at the top of the order and in center field.
Bruce says the new dynamic can only help the team improve.
"I don't know how it's exactly going to work out, but Tony is slated to be a starter and we lost Bronson, so that makes sense to me," Bruce said. "Billy has the ability to be up there with the best center fielders in the league. His speed is obviously on a different level. I've never played with anyone nearly as fast as him. That tool at the top of the lineup poses such a threat and a headache for opposing teams, it's going to be good."
And Bruce added this about Price, making his debut as a Major League manager:
"It's a new feel, it's a little different," Bruce said. "I've enjoyed it so far. As a team, there are expectations. I think we understand there needs to be a deeper level of commitment in execution and preparation. That's something Bryan echoes in the way he does things, in the way he goes about his business, and he expects the same thing out of us."
That's not to diminish the accomplishments of the Reds under Baker, who had a .524 winning percentage and three seasons of 90 wins or more in six years managing Cincinnati. The Reds were 90-72 this past season, finishing seven games out and in third place during what most of the season was one of the tightest three-team races with the Bucs and Cardinals in NL Central history.
"It's just different voices," Bruce said about playing for Baker. "Each person speaks to the team differently. Dusty did a great job. He made the Cincinnati Reds relevant again. He was part of a huge culture change here. He really put the Reds back on the map. I enjoyed playing with him and for him. He raised me as a baseball player, really. For that, I'm really, really thankful and I'll always be thankful. I keep in touch with Dusty. I wish him the best. I think he's going to be back at it as well."
The Reds made Bruce the 12th overall pick in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, and he was brought up to the big leagues in 2008, Baker's first year in Cincinnati after 10 years managing the Giants and four more with the Cubs.
Price spent the past four seasons under Baker as the pitching coach, so the circle really remains unbroken.
Bruce, at 26, has simply been getting better and better. His .482 slugging percentage and .812 OPS over six years in the big leagues are indicative of his statistical impact, but he's also quickly becoming a clubhouse leader and go-to guy, working with the younger players.
Price said Bruce "embraces that role."
"He wants to set an example for the right way to play as a Cincinnati Red," Price said.
When told that Bruce expects and is ready to "take the next step as a player," Price added:
"Expectations can be unfortunate, because I think he's a terrific player. I think he's a terrific player right now. Anything he does on a positive side wouldn't surprise me, improving his overall production wouldn't surprise me. He's nearing, if not, in the prime of his career.
"He's matured as a person and as a player. He's got a great routine. He just wouldn't surprise me in anything he accomplishes."

Bibi vs. Barack
President Barack Obama's national security team had every reason to believe they'd be spared a Bibi eruption before Election Day.
Earlier this year, U.S. and Israeli officials had informally agreed to stop airing their well-documented disagreements over how to halt Iran's nuclear program, according to two people familiar with the situation.
Story Continued Below
But on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu broke the tacit détente. He accused the Obama administration, albeit not by name, of going squishy on Tehran by not creating concrete benchmarks — "red lines," he called them — for a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The latest flare-up in the tempestuous Obama-Netanyahu relationship was overshadowed Wednesday by the carnage at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. But U.S. officials believe the intense debate over the allied response to Iran's nuclear program — and the sharp personal, policy and political differences between the two leaders — rivals the perils posed by the excesses of the Arab Spring.
( PHOTOS: Anti-U.S. attacks in Cairo, Libya)
Diplomacy is, ultimately, about relationships. Obama and Netanyahu don't really have one. And that's created an odd and unwelcome rivalry among allies — a testy liberal-vs.-conservative chess match that mirrors Obama's contest with Mitt Romney, who has known Netanyahu for years.
"There is a lack of rapport between these two men — they don't like each other very much. Plus, there are serious differences between our interests and Israel's own security interests," said former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, who was present for several of Obama's nine face-to-face meetings with Netanyahu.
"I don't think that Netanyahu is trying to influence the outcome of our election, though a lot of people see it that way," Crowley said. "It's about agenda-setting. He just watched two conventions where Israel and Iran were mentioned, but not significantly discussed, even with the whole rigmarole [at the Democratic convention] about Jerusalem in the platform. He's trying to get it onto the front burner."
But this isn't just about policy. It's personal. On the day Netanyahu threw down the Iran gauntlet, someone close to the hawkish, MIT-educated prime minister let it leak that Obama had declined a face-to-face meeting at next month's United Nations General Assembly in New York to hash things out. The chatter, later denied by the White House, was that Obama said he would be too busy, and one of those unbreakable commitments was with David Letterman.
If all this has a faintly comic vibe, the stakes couldn't be higher or potential outcomes uglier, from the possibility of a regional war to a conflagration involving at least one member of the nuclear club. So, even as the White House scrambled Wednesday to deal with mob violence in Cairo, Egypt, and the murder of Obama's ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, it had one eye firmly fixed on Netanyahu — who sensed an opportunity to press his anti-Iran case.
"Bibi knows that this is his moment of maximum leverage. His ability to influence Obama after the election will be zilch," said Kenneth Pollack, senior fellow in the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings, who thinks Netanyahu's drumbeat on Iran motivated the administration to push for a harder regimen of sanctions than Obama would otherwise have pursued.

Samsung net profit jumps 83%, hopes to sell 20mln Super AMOLED handsets in Q3
posted by Daniel P. / Jul 30, 2010, 5:38 AM
It didn't mention anything about the Super AMOLED demand, though, maybe because it hopes to sell 10mln units of both the Galaxy S and the Samsung Wave phones in this current quarter. Nothing wrong with wanting to keep your major advantage to yourself, especially considering that the average selling price of Samsung's handsets fell in Q2 because of the competition, despite the nearly 64mln handsets being pushed out.
The company is the world's second largest cell phone producer, but, similarly to the largest one, Nokia, most of the business comes from basic handsets - only 30% of the company's phones sold in Q2 were touchscreen, for example.

Yes and the difference is that Samsung recognizes the awesomeness of Android.

Please, Please PLEASE go and get yourself an android handset, already! Beg, borrow or steal if you have to! Just get off the "I hate Nokia" tirade! It's SO OLD, already!

Yes yes I know that. But do realize that my experience with this handset was sorta akin to a trauma. You know - if a person experiences something for quite a long period - and that something affects him - he will not forget it soon. Using a phone with a resistive screen for over a year and a half now - I can say that this qualifies for the above experience. So even if someone just drops me a Galaxy S or a Droid X and takes away me current phone - I will not forget the time when I had to physically press at a plastic surface to operate my phone - and have it called a "touchscreen". Thats No touchscreen. Thats press-screen.

LOL. i used a resistive touch screen for a good while on my Voyager. There isnt anything wrong with them. Of course, my vibrant's screen is so sensitive that barely touching the screen to the point that icant really feel it still activates it. :)

Well, maybe you're used to pressing on something - that was advertised as something that requires just to touch it - but I'm not. I had an opportunity to touch the sceen of the Google Nexus one. The difference was light and day! It felt as if the phone read my thoughts! That difference between pressing something and just touching it might not feel significant on paper - but it is a huge difference in reality. Just like when someone sells you a "Geforce" card - so the carriers sell you a "touchscreen" phone. And this is what maddens me. Here at least - no-one will bother to tell you which phone has a resistive touch-screen, and which has a capacitive one. And of course they don't allow anyone to actually try any device before buying it - so you're either stuck having what you bought - as was in my case - or you need to do extensive research yourself. Now, today this may not be so - but back in 2008 - understanding the difference between a resistive and capacitive touch-screens required some hefty research on a phone-by-phone basis.

Still, your tirade is super old now. I have had HORRIBLE experiences when I owned an iphone 3gs and mytouch 3g, but I have not gone off my rocker as you have and blast all things iphone and android. I just won't purchase apple and android products anymore. You should adopt the same way of thinking.

I am really struggling to understand how a device with 600MHZ, 256 MBs of Ram, a multi-touch enabled capacitive 3.5" screen with a very user-friendly UI and 225,000 different install-able apps can cause anyone more frustration than a device with a 412 MHZ processor, 128 MB of Ram, a resistive 3.2" screen with an awkward UI (compared to the former device at least) and probably less than 10k install-able apps. I am really really really trying hard to understand how an iPhone 3GS can cause anyone at least the same level of frustration as I have experienced with my 5800 for the past year and a half. Perhaps I will understand it one day.

Jprop, you are clueless when it comes to SAMSUNG phones - their non-smartphones are pretty - SOLSTICE, for example - their JACK lineup has sold very well. Their CAPTIVATE with AT&T is a great phone - I won one - yes, AT&T did some stuff to it - but if you install the EURO ROM, then the phone becomes even faster and comes with even better apps. Seriously, how can anyone say that their GALAXY S phones are crappy?? Because it is not a DROID...lol, talk about being brainwashed....

Samsung phones are not crappy. I only discovered this several months ago - but it turns out that their early attempts to mimic the iPhone - namely the F480, the S8300 and all the others touch-wiz based - actually use a capacitive screen! At least they made their iPhone clones have capacitive screens! Something that clearly has not been made by some *other* company also mentioned in the article. I myself had a Samsung E250 - a pretty low budget phone. And it still had awesome design.

You should have stuck with the Samsung handset. Then maybe you would get off your "I hate Nokia" foollishness.

You are absolutely correct. Because the only thing I do with my Nokia 5800 besides calls and messages is the occasional game and the occasional Facebook status update. Something that the E250 could have done very well anyway. Sure, there is the Camera which is infinitely better, as well as a good radio - but these alone do not justify upgrading a handset which is 150% costlier than the one I had before. Knowledge is power. If I had the knowledge then - I would have gladly stayed with my Samsung E250.

wow, what tool. Maybe he doesnt understand that the Galaxy's arent cheaply made. I have one.. its been dropped.. my fat ass has rolled over it accidentally while playing with my kids.. and its perfectly fine. The phone is so thin and light because of the reductions possible by the SUPER amoled screen and the humminbird chipset. get a clue before u get an opinion.

As I have told you before....simply buy a new handset. The 5800 is WAY better than the samsung E250, even you know that. Knowledge IS power. So use that knowledge and add some cash to it and buy a new handset with a different operating system. I see you did not make an "apperance" when the article stating Nokia still has more marketshare than anyone else came out. It must really piss you off that Nokia is still the industry leader. Poor you.

Just my personal opinions of Samsung Devices. Don't get too upset by it. I've owned a few over the years including the Behold II and just did'nt care much for them. Unlike many who post on this site, I'm not trying to put anyones choices down. I'm just airing my own. If you like their products, keep on Truckin'. It's all good.

The funny thing is that I still like HTC the best as I have owned an 8125, 8525, 8925 and the ARIA - I like ANDROID UI and replaced my TOUCH "GEE, GOLLY" whiz UI with Launcher PRO - love the 3d style when the apps launch all at once...

I dropped my CAPTIVATE.... once and it does not have single mark to show my clumsiness. They are very well made, even without a bumber. Plus, they are easy to FLASH ROMS onto, esp. if you use ODIN 3.0.

Proposed Natural Treatments
Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve, a major nerve that passes down the back of each thigh. The sciatic nerve originates in the lower spine and travels deep in the pelvis to the lower buttocks. From there it passes along the back of each upper leg and divides at the knee into branches that go to the feet. Sciatica typically causes pain that shoots down the back of one thigh or buttock.
Anything that causes irritation or puts pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause sciatica. The most common cause is probably a sprain or strain of muscles or ligaments in the area, and for this reason sciatica is often associated with low back pain. The cushions between the bones of the spine—the disks—can also cause sciatica when they bulge out of place or degenerate. Other causes of sciatica include spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lumbar area), spondylolisthesis (slippage of a bone in the low back) and, very rarely, benign or malignant tumors.
Diagnosis of sciatica is made by symptoms, neurologic evaluation, and tests, such as nerve conduction study, x -ray, and MRI scan. Common symptoms include the following:
More serious symptoms that sometimes occur in sciatica include difficulty walking, standing, or moving; increasing weakness or numbness in the leg or foot; and loss of bowel or bladder control.
In most cases, sciatic pain resolves on its own without specific treatment. Bedrest, although still sometimes recommended, is probably not helpful. 1,2 However, physical therapy techniques and steroid injections have shown promise. If permanent nerve damage is threatened, surgery may be necessary.
Attacks of sciatica tend to recur. Certain common sense steps that may help prevent recurrences include the following:
Proposed Natural Treatments
Acupuncture has shown promise for sciatica, 3 but the research evidence supporting its use remains highly preliminary. Similarly, biofeedback , chiropractic , massage , and prolotherapy , while sometimes advocated for sciatic pain, have not been proven effective.
Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Pilates, Tai Chi , and yoga are thought to improve posture and movement habits. On this basis, these methods are advocated for preventing or treating sciatica, but again, proof of effectiveness is lacking.
For other approaches that might be useful for sciatica, see the articles on low back pain and soft tissue pain .

Verizon is committed to helping the nearly one in four women, one in seven men and more than 3 million children in the United States affected by domestic violence. We're doing our part to end this epidemic by collecting no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories and turning them into support for domestic violence organizations nationwide. Through HopeLine, we've donated hundreds of thousands of phones and awarded millions of dollars in cash grants to our partner agencies.
Wireless phones and technology serve as a vital link for all of us. They're also an especially safe and reliable way for domestic violence victims and survivors to reach emergency or support services in times of crisis and stay connected with employers, family and friends.
Download the HopeLine Press Kit PDF (291 KB)
Phones collected nationwide since 2001
Cash grants given to domestic violence organizations since 2001
HopeLine phones donated to victims and survivors since 2001
In October 2001, Verizon Wireless launched a national recycling and re-use program as the new focus for HopeLine, which began as a voicemail and emergency wireless phone donation program under Bell Atlantic Mobile in 1995. By giving our customers and the general public a way to donate no-longer-used wireless phones and accessories, our contribution became two-fold: providing wireless phones to domestic violence victims and keeping electronic waste out of landfills.
In October 2002, Verizon Wireless launched #HOPE nationwide. By dialing #HOPE from any Verizon Wireless phone, victims of domestic violence can access professional support quickly, confidentially and toll- and airtime-free, with calls routed to the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE).
In 2005, HopeLine marked its 10th anniversary with its Law Enforcement Partnership Award. The award honors agencies and individuals who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to domestic violence awareness and prevention in their communities.
In 2006, Verizon Wireless partnered with Wal-Mart to sponsor HopeLine phone donation drives in October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, at more than 2,000 of stores nationwide. As a result, we donated $50,000 through HopeLine to the national Break the Cycle organization, which empowers youth to end domestic violence.
In 2008, Verizon Wireless made phone donation even easier. We added a postage-paid shipping label to the HopeLine website and gave a postage-paid phone donation envelope to every customer who purchased a new phone.
In June 2010, Verizon Communications was honored at the 15th Annual Safe Horizon Champion Awards Gala for our commitment to ending domestic violence. Our company was recognized for outstanding leadership and support of Safe Horizon's SafeWork campaign as well as our own direct support of domestic violence victims through the HopeLine program.
In October 2011, HopeLine and the National Network to End Domestic Violence teamed up for an eight-city, cross-country bus tour. The tour's mission was to provide resources, unite the public and inspire citizens to play an active role in ending domestic violence. The tour marked the first time we collected and recorded domestic violence stories with smartphones and tablets to share with the public.
In October 2011, Laura's House, a non-profit domestic violence shelter located in Orange County, Calif., presented Verizon Wireless with the Corporate Crystal Heart Award during its 17th annual gala. The award recognized the Verizon Wireless team's partnership with Laura's House.
At its annual fundraising gala in October 2011, SafeHouse-Denver recognized the profound difference HopeLine makes in the communities it serves with the 2011 Susan Noble Community Impact Award. Created in 2002, the award is presented each year by the Denver-based domestic violence shelter to an individual or organization in recognition of outstanding efforts to assist survivors of domestic violence and to create community change.
In 2012, Verizon Wireless launched the first HopeLine app, giving users access to a wealth of resources and ways to take action against domestic violence, right from a smartphone or tablet. The app features include text to donate, share success stories, a link to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and more ways to keep domestic violence victims and communities connected.
In September 2012, Verizon added text-messaging service to its HopeLine phones. Text messages provide another safe way for domestic violence victims and survivors to stay connected with their family and friends.
HopeLine phones are refurbished phones that are equipped with 3,000 anytime minutes of airtime and texting capabilities. They come with Verizon Wireless Nationwide Coverage, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, 3-Way Calling, Caller ID, Basic Voice Mail and texting. HopeLine phones are available to survivors affiliated with participating domestic violence agencies.
Protecting the environment is a major focus for the HopeLine program. We collect no-longer-used wireless phones, batteries and accessories in any condition, from any service provider. Phones that can't be reused are recycled responsibly under our zero landfill policy. Since 2001 our program has recycled 1.7 million wireless phones and kept more than 260 tons of electronic waste and batteries out of landfills.
Take action against domestic violence with the HopeLine app for smartphones and tablets. Access domestic violence resources, learn how to donate or host a drive, text to donate, share success stories and more. A call button connects you directly to the National Network to End Domestic Violence for crisis intervention, information or referrals.

Sounders FC
Sounders draw with Tottenham, 3-3, in MLS-English Premier League friendly
Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid doesn't see Seattle's 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday as any indication of parity between Major League Soccer and the English Premier League.
But he liked a lot of what he saw.
"The main thing I think our guys and our teams are always interested in is that they respect what we can do as well, and that we can play," Schmid said. "I thought our possession in the first half was very good — at times I thought it was much better than theirs. But then against the run of play, they were very clinical. So what did we take away from it? We take away the fact that we can possess the ball against a team like that, that we've got to be a little better on our finishing for sure. But on this given day we can compete."
Schmid saw it only as a bonus that all that was accomplished while entertaining the announced crowd of 55,349 at CenturyLink Field, while not suffering any injuries, and while preparing his roster for its return to MLS play against the Los Angeles Galaxy on July 28.
"We wanted to make sure we got minutes, we kept out rhythm, kept playing, it was good for (forwards Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins) to get some time together in the first half," he said. "So in terms of preparing for L.A. it was good. We got the minutes that we needed for the starters and were able to maintain our fitness."
The match was the first of the EPL preseason for Tottenham, and coach Mauricio Pochettino pointed that out and more.
"The conditions to play is very difficult: 1 p.m., and warm and in different (artificial surface) field and a very good (opponent)," he said. "We are comforted with the performance because for us it was just one friendly for us."
The game was free-flowing throughout, with both teams taking and losing leads.
Tottenham opened the scoring in the 11th minute when Lewis Holtby got his head onto a cross from Harry Kane, and looped it over Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei.
Seattle got on the board in the 33rd minute, after Tottenham captain Michael Dawson was whistled for a foul on Chad Marshall in the penalty area. Gonzalo Pineda converted the equalizing penalty kick, sending a little chip down the middle while keeper Brad Friedel dived right.
The Sounders took their first lead early in the second half, when Osvaldo Alonso sent a shot from 30 yards skimming under the crossbar.
"I'm very, very happy for that," he said. "But I'm excited for the team today. We showed character."
Tottenham evened things again when Roberto Soldado nailed a penalty kick after a foul by Marshall.
Seattle reclaimed the lead in the 79th minute as Tristan Bowen ran up to a cross from rookie Sean Okoli and finished from close range.
"I saw an open net," Bowen said. "I just (ran) to get in front of the goal and gave the defender a little nudge, and that created a little bit of space for me. And luckily (Friedel) didn't get down to that ball … and all I had to do was tap it in."
Tottenham salvaged the draw with another penalty kick. This time Iago Falque scored after a hand ball in the box by DeAndre Yedlin.
"When we come on these tours, a lot of times we don't know what to expect," Friedel said. "One thing was for certain when we came to Seattle, we knew we were going to expect a good atmosphere and playing against the best team in the MLS right now. Very tough game for us. This was our first one, our first 90 minutes of the entire preseason, so it was always going to be hard. You want a hard test in preseason, and I think, especially in the first half, Seattle showed us why they're at the top of the league."

Back in the early days of this blog, we did a less-than-brisk business in 10,000 Birds "I BRAKE FOR BIRDS" bumper stickers. I sold a couple of hundred of them over the years, but chose not to replenish after the last run sold out. Fool that I am, my decision has left too many birders without a means to communicate an immanent interruption of automotive acceleration in the interest of avian observation. Clearly, something must be done.
10,000 Birds is getting back into the bumper sticker business.
Actually, we sort of already have. However, some folks prefer the previous version of our sticker to the new one. Cafepress only allows one version of each item to be offered in free stores and we have no interest in upgrading out storefront. Thus, we need to do a bit of market research to decide how to proceed.
Which of these bumper stickers would (will) you buy when it is available?
Please cast your vote in the comments section along with any pertinent commentary. Note that "neither" or "both" are legitimate answers, as is your opinion on the relevance of bumper stickers in the modern era!
On an unrelated note, I was unable to find a decent WordPress polls plugin that would work on this site. WP-Polls wouldn't install properly and the other options seem linked to external sites. Any suggestions for a good, easy poll or survey plugin?
http://www.surveymonkey.com is a good external site
I honestly prefer the original, probably because it stands out a bit more. (I've bought two over the years…)
I like the classic bumpersticker best. I think it will be far more visible than the other.
I bought the classic, but decided it was to bright for my car. I'd prefer the new.
Design an ELD bumper sticker that you can program with 100 or more different motifs. Problem solved.
Both are good, but the red (original?) one will be more visible.
I like the new (and would buy it), but worry a bit sometimes that the stickers on our car should just be replaced by a big day-glo "Expensive Optics On Board" sign.
I like and would/will buy the original. My car is black.
I have a slight preference for the classic.
I vote for the classic, as well. I think both the text and bumper sticker as a whole will stand out more (which is necessary, given my otherwise erratic-seeming braking patterns).
original – it stands out – is there a magnetic version available?
Oh the new one, definitely! That owl is cool.
I need a classic bumpersticker to cover the car dealer's sticker.
New looks nicer – but old may be better for following drivers to read.
I like the design of the breaking owl on the new one! But I like the colors of the old one. What about a newly desigNed new one..?
I would buy either one because I need one, but the classic style is more attractive to me…..I do also like the owl on the new style.
First off, I second the SurveyMonkey recommendation … a piece of cake to use and very effective.
I'm impartial to the designs, but that's probably because I don't use bumper stickers … too darned hard to get off down the road. Now, if you had one of those window-clings, or as Chrissy said a magnetic version, then sign me up!
I like the new one, but my wife likes the classic one. I'd buy either.
Old one. I think it's important that the driver behind can actually read it.
The new one for me.
New one
The old one! I like the design.
I like the new green bumper sticker better than the original. But I need to say that, in general, I much prefer to have the little magnets rather than something you stick to your car and can't remove if necessary. Just found your blog a few days ago. So far, I am enjoying it very much. Thanks!

You like to live on the edge of urban animal husbandry. No domesticated felines or canines for you. It's all ferrets, dingoes and boa constrictors in your often-raided abode. But even those species of barely tame fauna aren't enough. You want to laugh in extinction's face. You need… dinosaurs.
One of the weirder games in this week's Nintendo eShop is 101 DinoPets 3D, which lets you dress up, pet and totally otherwise humiliate these once proud alpha predators. Yes, you can play fetch with a stegosaurus in his downloadable game. But you better hope that he doesn't remember what he once was and try to maul you to bits.
Speaking of animals living counter to their instincts, how about that Hello Kitty, huh? The iconic Sanrio character has always seemed like a walking mass of contradictions. A housecat that owns a home, goes swimming and is friends with a dog. Hello Kitty Picnic gathers a bunch of these 'toons together and has them eat outside in nature, the way God intended. And, hey, it sure looks like someone's trying to hustle Tuxedo Sam at 0:33 in the trailer. The ol' Shell Game… a classic.
Along with those animal lovin' games, Nintendo platforms also see demo versions of Zombi U and NBA 2K13 for the Wii U. Here's the full list:

[Photo by Austen Hufford]
As some of you heard, last week the Washington Post reported a story about presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, and his participation in an incident that many are calling "bullying." Taking place in 1965 while a student at Cranbrook School, Romney, along with a group of friends, held down fellow classmate, John Lauber, and cut off his hair with a pair of scissors.
"He can't look like that. That's wrong. Just look at him!" an incensed Romney told Matthew Friedemann, his close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm, according to Friedemann's recollection. Mitt, the teenage son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber's look, Friedemann recalled.
A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school's collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber's hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.
The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another. Four of them — Friedemann, now a dentist; Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer; Thomas Buford, a retired prosecutor; and David Seed, a retired principal — spoke on the record. Another former student who witnessed the incident asked not to be identified. The men have differing political affiliations, although they mostly lean Democratic. Buford volunteered for Barack Obama's campaign in 2008. Seed, a registered independent, has served as a Republican county chairman in Michigan. All of them said that politics in no way colored their recollections.
You can read the entire story here.
As one can imagine the punditry from all sides has been cray-cray. Quick to get this one under control I'm sure, Romney responded to the story during a live radio interview with Fox News personality Brian Kilmeade,
First of all, for those who think that going after his high school behavior isn't fair game, I beg to differ. I think that if one is running for President of the United States EVERYTHING is fair game. Yes, 45 years ago is a long time, but this incident coupled with the whole dog on the roof of the car one, and I am developing an image of person who sees other lives in a very different way than I do, one where the pain and suffering of another living creature has no impact.
Back in high school, I did some dumb things, and if anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that. I participated in a lot of hijinks and pranks during high school, and some might have gone too far, and for that I apologize.
One issue that I have with the whole mess is that Romney has yet to actually admit to being part of the incident, instead answering with a vague, "some [pranks] may have gone to far" category that only leaves me to wonder if there were so many so-called "pranks" that he cannot keep them all straight. While there is no way the Republican party will get my vote in this year's election, I think it would have gone a long way for him in gaining the support of some independents and libertarians to own up to being part of the incident, after all, few are denying that he was part of it?
Which leads me to my second concern. For many, there seems to be a "boys will be boys" or "we all did stupid stuff when we were kids" attitude to excuse Romney's actions. Now, I admit, as the father of three girls, I am no expert on raising boys. At the same time, I was a boy once myself and I have seen many a gender behavior played out on the playground and school. We could argue the reasons why some boys and girls fulfill traditional male or female expectations, but I would still say that even this reality combined with the poor choices of youth in no way excuses the terror that must have been inflicted on his classmate. I just do not think this is the norm for anyone, boy or girl.
Yes, I was a boy. I did stupid youthful "boys-will-be-boys" things – drinking, smoking and blowing up dog poop with firecrackers just to name a few*- but never did I lead a group of boys, held another boy down against his will and cut off his hair. To see what must have only been terror in the eyes of another human and continue the act is inexcusable and without ever claiming responsibility or repentance, gives us a window into his personhood and soul.
So what do you think? Is it fair to raise these issues from his past? And if it is true, does it matter? Or is this a liberal hack job from the WP and the Obama campaign? Here is a good clip from ABC news.
I have been pretty clear with where I stand on the whole thing, what say you?
* I am obviously never running for President 😉

Update: GSoC 2013 Completed October 2013
Update: GSoC 2013 Weekly blogs at http://gsoc2013.honeynet.org
Update: GSoC 2013 Students Selected! See our accepted student slots for more information.
Content here now only kept for historical reference:
After another great year of Google Summer of Code 2012 and another 15 (+1) successful student projects, The Honeynet Project and students world-wide have been eagerly waiting to hear if Google would decide to run GSoC again in 2013. Well the good news is that Google officially announced that Google Summer of Code 2013 would definitely be happening. Go Google!
We really enjoyed our experience as a successful mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code 2009, Google Summer of Code 2010, Google Summer of Code 2011 and Google Summer of Code 2012. After a nervous few days of waiting, Google officially announced the list of 177 accepted GSoC 2013 mentoring organizations on Monday April 8th at 19:00 UTC. The Honeynet Project is very pleased to announce that we have once again been accepted as a mentoring organization for GSoC 2013. Great news :-)
Potential GSoC students and other interested parties view our still under development list of possible project ideas and potential mentors. As in previous years, this list of proposed project ideas is not definitive and will remain a work in progress until GSoC 2013 student applications officially start on April 22nd. We are also still open to receiving and mentoring interesting and novel project ideas received from students, including informal contact before official student applications begin. We will also probably post a public survey link here and on our main blog to allow anyone interested to suggest project ideas too. So if there is a research topic you are interested in working on this summer, please suggest it, or get in touch to discuss it further.
The third and fourth milestones GSoC 2013 milestones (after Org application and selection) will be student applications and acceptance. GSoC 2013 student applications begins on April 22nd at 19:00 UTC and closed on May 3rd at 19:00 UTC. These dates are roughly a month later than in previous years, meaning that the GSoC 2013 timeline looks quite different to previous years, so please make sure you check the timeline carefully.
To avoid disappointment and missed deadlines, if you are a student applying to GSoC this year, please make sure you submit your student application well in advance and don't leave it to the last minute! A good idea is to begin talking to us as soon as Google announces the official list of GSoC 2013 mentoring orgs (ie from April 9th). The sooner is usually the better.
On Monday May 27th Google will officially announce the list of approximate 1000 lucky students who will be accepted to participate in GSoC 2013. We very much hope that many of you reading this page will be amongst that number and about to start working for the summer on another exciting InfoSec project with The Honeynet Project.
You can find our in progress GSoC 2013 ideas page here:
* GSoC 2013 Project Ideas
Often students ask us what kind of projects we are likely to be offering in a coming year. If you want to get an idea of the kind of projects ideas we proposed and the accepted projects we ran during GSoC 2009-2012, you can view these here:
* GSoC 2012 Project Ideas

We still have our public mailing list for interested prospective GSoC students to get in touch and discuss project ideas for GSoC with the Honeynet Project - see https://public.honeynet.org/mailman/listinfo/gsoc for details. Please sign up if you have any questions about getting involved with the Honeynet Project in GSoC 2013.
Our GSoC 2013 organisational administrators this year are:
So with the US, Europe and Asia covered we can hopefully offer students and mentors round the clock support again this year!
You can find a copies of recent presentations by our Chief Research Officer David Watson on our achievements during GSoC 2009 to GSoC 2012 or GSoC 2009 and GSoC 2010, which hopefully provide a good introduction to the Honeynet Project and our collective activities from recent GSoCs. You can also read/watch David's presentations from two of our recent annual workshops in the San Francisco Bay Area (2012) or Paris (2011) too.

Missionary Meetings
Missionary Meetings, which served the purpose of awakening and reviving a missionary spirit, were held regularly in the Mennonite churches in America, South Germany, West Prussia, and Switzerland. In 1830 a meeting of this kind was held in Heubuden (Danzig). Since 1817 the West Prussian Mennonites had been supporting Protestant missionaries with regular contributions and private gifts (Mennonitische Blätter 1856, 55). When the Dutch Mennonite Mission Association was organized in 1847, the interest of German Mennonite friends of missions was soon turned to it. In the annual missionary meetings of the West Prussian churches this fact found lively expression in sermons and addresses. These meetings were well attended (Mennonitische Blätter, 1877, 66) and continued down into the 20th century.
The Mennonites of Russia also gathered for missionary meetings from an early period. On 4 October 1857, "our this year's missionary meeting was held at Berdyansk" (Mennonitische Blätter, 1858, 18). Thus they became important in the life of the church.
Somewhat later missionary meetings were organized in South Germany. The initial impulse came from America. At the meeting of the General Conference Mennonite Church at Wadsworth, Ohio in December 1876, it was proposed that annual missionary conferences be held to support the newly established foreign mission. The plan was carried out. In the 1950s such meetings were very frequent in the Mennonite churches of America. Some were quarterly (e.g., West Liberty, Ohio, Mennonite Church), some semiannual, some annual. Some have been carried on for several decades.
In Switzerland the first known missionary meeting was held in the Emmental on 9 March 1890. Two years later the congregation of Giebelstadt-Würzburg followed its example and held such a meeting annually on a Catholic holiday. The farewell service for the outgoing missionaries, P. Lowen and his wife, and Peter Nachtigall with his wife, in 1911 in Würzburg became an inspirational celebration. Thereupon it was decided at the following meeting of the preachers of the conference of Baden and Hesse to hold a mission meeting annually. The first took place in Monsheim on 1 May 1913. After it was held alternately in Monsheim and Kaiserslautern. The Gemeindeverband of Baden, Bavaria, and Wurttemberg conducted such meetings in Heilbronn after 1915. A similar meeting was held annually on the Deutschhof near Bergzabern until World War II.
Great blessing resulted from these meetings; they not only benefited foreign missions, but also served to strengthen and revive the home churches.

10 great places to bond on family vacations
Summer vacations don't have to be limited to lazing in a beach chair or lining up at a theme park, says family travel columnist Lynn O'Rourke Hayes of Familytravel.com. They can be a time to try something new – and grow closer. "Families say one of their top resolutions is building bonds, and taking a vacation is a great way to do that." She shares some ideas for memorable summer family trips with Larry Bleiberg for USA TODAY.
White Mountains, N.H.
Parents should never miss a chance to get their kids out into nature, Hayes says. One fun way is hiking hut to hut in New Hampshire's White Mountains, exploring forests, mountain tops and waterfalls, and sleeping in the wilderness. The Appalachian Mountain Club maintains a network of shelters equipped with bunks. There's even food service, including kid-friendly meals on request. 800-372-1758; outdoors.org
Hocking Hills, Ohio
Although her home state is often overlooked as a vacation destination, Hayes says this area in the scenic rolling hills of southeastern Ohio has every activity a family would want, such as hiking, caving, zip-lining and canoeing on the Hocking River. There are also nature preserves and educational programs about Native American inhabitants. Accommodations include cabins, cottages and lodges. hockinghills.com
Placencia, Belize
This English-speaking Central American nation offers exotic adventure, with beaches, small villages and Mayan ruins. Hayes suggests spending time in Placencia, a traditional Creole fishing village with beaches, kayaking, snorkeling and whale shark watching. "It's just so beautiful and peaceful. It's a little bit of a taste of old-school Belize." travelbelize.org
Grand Canyon, Ariz and Utah
Many visitors never make it beyond the South Rim visitors center, but there's much more to the Grand Canyon, Hayes says. "Even if it's taking a two-hour hike, you just have to get into the canyon. That's how you begin to understand its magic." Other options include mule trips, an overnight on the canyon floor, a raft trip down the Colorado River, or a train ride to the park from Williams, Ariz. 928-638-7888; nps.gov/grca

Santa Fe, N.M.
This Southwest art and cultural capital also has a rich Western heritage, making it a perfect town for a fun and educational trip. The New Mexico History Museum is featuring a cowboy exhibit through March 16, and has related events, such as cowboy movies. In between, families can take in a museum show or concert. "It's a great way to introduce kids to art and music," Hayes says. 800-777-2489; santafe.org
Oregon Coast
It's hard to beat the Pacific Northwest for scenic shoreline, Hayes says. "It's so rugged and jaw-droppingly beautiful." She suggests a slow road trip along the Oregon Coast, flying kites and sampling fresh seafood along the way. She recommends spending time in Bandon, for crabbing, horseback riding and golf. 888-628-2101; visittheoregoncoast.com
Andros Island, Bahamas
Hayes loves the diversity of this Atlantic island nation, just a short flight from Florida. While many families come for its glitzy resorts, she suggests venturing to less-developed Andros, where families can go on lighthouse tours or try boat fishing. "There are beaches that are only accessible by foot or bicycle. It's incredibly beautiful." 800-224-2627; bahamas.com
Telluride, Colo.
This isolated mountain community attracts crowds for winter skiing, but it's just as active during summer, with children's outdoor adventure programs and mountain biking. Hayes loves its small town atmosphere and sophisticated dining scene, which will keep parents entertained too. "More than anything, it's a place to go and relax and hike the high trails and enjoy everything the Rocky Mountains have to offer." 888-605-2578; visittelluride.com
Mountain Sky Guest Ranch, Mont.
This dude ranch offers horseback riding, and much more to families seeking outdoors adventure. There's rafting and fishing on the nearby Yellowstone River, and even a golf course. "Lots of families go there generation after generation. They make sure all the kids can do things independently and safely," Hayes says. 406-333-4911; mountainsky.com
Duck, N.C.
Families visiting North Carolina's Sanderling Resort can get a full Outer Banks experience with options like guided kayak tours, tennis, bike rides on the nature trails and even a spa for parents. There are surfing and stand-up paddleboarding lessons, and for a nature experience, easy access to the adjacent 3,400-acre Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary, an ideal place to teach children about birding. 866-860-3979; sanderling-resort.com
