Where To Get and File Social Security Number Application Forms
Summary: This is an example of Publication 80 (Revised November 2011); the text lists information on where to get and file applications for social security numbers for U.S. possessions. It states:
U.S. Virgin Islands--Saint Thomas: Social Security Administration Office, 8000 Nisky Center, First Floor, Suite 2, Charlotte Amalie, Virgin Islands 00802. Saint Croix: Social Security Administration, 1, 2, & 3A Sunny Isle Shopping Center, Christiansted, Virgin Islands 00820.
Guam--Social Security Administration Office, Suite 300, 655 Harmony Loop Road, Dededo, Guam 96929.
American Samoa--Social Security Administration Office, Pago Plaza, Suite 117, Pago Pago, American Samoa 96799.
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands--Social Security Administration Office, Suite 201, MA II Building, Garapan, Saipan, M.P. 96950.
Working people in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, like those working in the United States, are now building protection for themselves and their families under the Social Security program. The three kinds of monthly benefits under Social Security are:
1. Retirement--at age 65. (Reduced benefits are payable as early as age 62.)
2. Disability--when a worker under age 65 becomes unable to work because of a disability.
3. Survivors--when a worker dies.
In addition to cash benefits, health insurance benefits are available for certain categories of people, whether or not they are retired.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Second-hand descriptions and photos are a start, but they can't put the feel of California sunshine on your face. They can't convey the aroma of fresh-baked pizza wafting from the Campus Inn, or the sound of laughter roaring out from a dorm lounge. Nor can you have a stimulating conversation with the photograph of a Whittier professor, much less pet her cool dog.
Whittier College sits on 75 park-like acres located midway between downtown Los Angeles and such Orange County landmarks as Disneyland. The campus is bounded on one side by the cafes and shops of historic Uptown Whittier and on the other by Turnbull Canyon and its challenging hiking trails.
If you are considering attending Whittier, you really ought to preview that experience in three dimensions and with all five senses. That's why we offer student-guided, hour-long walking tours of campus two or three times each weekday. Immediately before or after each tour, there is either a general Q&A session with an admission professional or - more likely - a chance for a personal meeting/interview. There are also self-guided tours for those who can visit only during off hours. Either way, just let us know that you're coming.

Today we went to Joe's Crab Shack for an early dinner (we both hate crowds) and had crab stuffed mushrooms and the steamed crab buckets. Here we are waiting for our food:
I can't decide which is better. The darker one has a better setting in front but I also like the flags.
Anyway, it was a wonderful day. Relaxing and full of togetherness.
I wonder what the next 35 years have in store for us.

So far the U.S. has only attacked the group in Iraq. Hagel also said, "This is beyond anything we have seen, and we must prepare for everything. And the only way you do that is that you take a cold, steely hard look at it and get ready."

The Deal: New York Times Sells Boston Globe to Red Sox Owner
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- The New York Times Co.
The $70 million in cash that prominent Bostonian John W. Henry has agreed to pay for the group, featuring The Boston Globe, compares to a $1.1 billion purchase price for the Globe alone in 1993. However, on returning to local ownership, the group today not only includes New England's paper of record but also BostonGlobe.com, Boston.com, Worcester Telegram & Gazette, Telegram.com, direct-marketing unit GlobeDirect and a 49% interest in Metro Boston.
Henry, winner of the five-month auction managed by Evercore Partners
It's as an individual, though, that media neophyte Henry assumes Globe ownership. His majority-controlled NESN elected not to participate in the auction's final round, thus adding to a significant amount of churn among such suitors as former Time Inc. CEO Jack Griffin, family members of the Globe's former owner and local businessmen Jack Connors, John Fish and Steve Weiner.
On designating Henry as the auction's winner, the Times' president and CEO Mark Thompson cited "strong local roots and a deep appreciation of the importance of these publications to the Greater Boston community." He also noted that the sale would allow the Times "to sharpen our company focus on and investments in The New York Times brand and its journalism."

In the second half of your pregnancy, you may look down at your feet and ankles and gasp at the sight of no anklebones! This is especially true if you are pregnant during the summer months when heat can add to the swelling. This swelling of your legs and ankles is due to edema and is perfectly normal.
Edema is caused by the extra blood and fluids circulating through your body during your pregnancy. Your growing uterus puts pressure on the pelvic veins and the vena cava (a large vein on the right side of the body that receives blood from the lower limbs) and circulation slows down, causing your blood to pool. Pressure is caused from trapped blood forcing water down into the tissues of your feet and ankles. In addition to this fluid displacement, you may also be retaining excess water, which can add to the swelling.
Edema is quite common and normal during pregnancy so don't be alarmed. However, if you experience severe and/or sudden swelling in your hands and face call your doctor. Swelling in these areas is not usually associated with edema and could be a sign of preeclampsia, a serious condition for both you and your baby.
Here are some tried and true strategies to control edema:
So if you are feeling like one of those big balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, sit down and kick off those tight shoes, put your feet up and relax with a BIG glass of water!

|Almond flour makes this banana Bundt® cake gluten-free gorgeous.
Almond Flour Cake Love
Baking weather has arrived. Are you feeling the urge? I am. It's Bundt® Cake time. Time for stirring up gluten-free cake batters with soft ripe bananas, pumpkin puree, and applesauce, filling the kitchen with the warm sweet scent of cinnamon. Time to tie on your cute little apron and invoke your inner Domestic Goddess. Because the groovy-spooky Fall Equinox is right around the corner, I am sorry to tell you. Summer fun is fading fast, Sweetpea. Your tan lines are disappearing.
Your UGGs are calling.
So paw through your stash of rocket shaped Popsicle molds, drink umbrellas and pool party napkins. Get ready to retire the flamingo adorned lemonade pitcher (unless you happen to live in Boca Raton). Snake your way into the back dark corner of your kitchen closet.
Liberate the Bundt® pan you haven't used since Ground Hog Day.
It's dusty but it cleans up nice.
|A rich and tasty banana cake made with almond flour.
By Karina Allrich September 2010.
Karina's Banana Almond Bundt® Cake Recipe
Steve made this luscious cake using three free-range organic egg whites but if you wish to keep this cake vegan, using Ener-G Egg Replacer also works. You'll need an egg replacer that equals 1/3 cup liquid.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a Bundt® cake pan by rubbing a little oil in it. Dust with a quick sprinkle of gluten-free flour if you like.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together until smooth:
1 liquid cup fresh banana puree (2-3 ripe medium organic bananas)
3 free-range organic egg whites, beaten or Ener-G Egg Replacer whisked till frothy
1/2 cup light olive oil
1 1/3 cups organic light brown sugar
1 tablespoon organic raw agave nectar or honey
1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract
Add in and beat:
1 cup almond meal/flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour/starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Beat for one minute until the cake batter is smooth. Scoop the batter into the prepared Bundt® cake pan and even out the surface with a silicone spatula.
Bake in the center of a preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes (mine took 45 minutes) until the cake is firm but gives slightly to a gentle touch; test with a cake tester if you like. If you use a smaller pan, it may take longer to bake through.
Cool on a wire rack. When the cake is cooled place a serving plate on top of the pan and invert the pan to release the cake onto the plate.
Sprinkle with powdered confectioner's sugar, if you desire.
Serves 12-15.
This rich banana cake freezes well. We wrap slices in foil and bag them in freezer bags for take along treats.

Just a quick post to show progress on Log Cabin #3:
I owe several people responses to comments/email. I haven't forgotten, I just haven't had a chance to respond. I will soon, though.
Wow! Do you make these in your sleep? LOL
This is going to be an afghan? I should back read your blog. I can't wait to see this when its done…these blocks are wonderful! Much less stressful too when you're not worrying about staying true to a 1/4″ seam 🙂
A comment that will cover 4 posts (I hope!) SNOW! OMG. And those sky shots are awesome….
I love the log cabin blanket colors, too! And Jelly Bean sock, and of course the pups!!!
That log cabin says "I'm half boy/half girl!" to me. 🙂 Nice colors. I'm not onverly fond of the bubblegum pink log next to the black, but on the whole they work well together.
THIRD log cabin? And here I thought I was bad with, oh, about 19 ball band warhrags. Good idea to use up the CottonEase, though. Did you see LB is bringing back the CE?

International interior designer Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill brings history to life, through her family and her work.
The eldest daughter of the eleventh Duke of Marlborough and a descendant of Sir Winston Churchill, she specializes in renovating historic British country homes, including her family's estate, England's prestigious Blenheim Palace.
Spencer-Churchill also creates furnishing fabrics and wallpapers and has launched a furniture and home accessory collection for Maitland-Smith.
She has published several books on interior design and her family history, and her eleventh tome, The Life of the House: How Rooms Evolve (Rizzoli), was released in October.
On February 9, Spencer-Churchill will speak about her latest book at the Colony Hotel as part of the American Friends of British Art's lecture and luncheon series. She shared with PBI pieces of her own history as well as her take on Palm Beach design.
PBI: Can you give us a taste of what you'll talk about in your lecture?
HS-C: I will be mainly talking about my new book, The Life of the House: How Rooms Evolve, which looks at how and why rooms have changed over the centuries from an architectural and social history point of view. I will touch on my family home, Blenheim, too, and will be happy to answer questions.
The American Friends of British Art raises funds to preserve historic treasures in Great Britain. Can you tell us about the importance of this effort from your perspective?
I work on many listed houses in Britain, and I have always tried to retain and respect the heritage of these great houses whilst at the same time making them practical for twenty-first century living. We restore architectural features where possible or replace them as close as possible to the original, and any new additions, whilst may be more contemporary in style, are carefully designed to blend with the old.
Your newest book, The Life of the House: How Rooms Evolve, illustrates the transition in design over the years. Which room do you think has changed the most and why?
I would say undoubtedly the kitchen, which was originally generally in an outhouse or annexe of the main house because of the risk of fire (and smells) and was little more than an open fire. Today, they are large, all-encompassing multifunctional rooms with sophisticated gadgets and technology. The bathroom has also changed but then didn't exist until much more recently.
If the walls of Blenheim Palace could talk, what would they say?
I think it would be like listening to an historical novel with lots of intrigue, drama, fun depicting the life of the different family generations and their guests over the last 300 years—i.e., a Blenheim Downton Abbey!
What is your favorite piece in your furniture line with Maitland-Smith and why?
I don't really have a favourite, as all the pieces have a useful and decorative function. I do, however, like the sofa with buttoned back and seat, as it is very comfortable as well as elegant. I also love the new games table, which has great brass detail.
What other projects are you working on at the moment?
A large villa in Poland, an apartment in an historic palace in Vienna, a new build house in Jersey, various houses in London and the English countryside. I am about to design a rug collection for another U.S. company.
What is your impression of Palm Beach design and architecture?
I do not go to Palm Beach that often, but I am interested in the electric architecture of [Addison] Mizner, [Maurice] Fatio and [Marion Sims] Wyeth, and I have visited some of the houses which they built. I think because it is largely a resort town, you can get away with the Moorish and different mix of European and Beaux Arts styles that have been applied. I also find some of the new build house very attractive. I have also visited my great grandmother's house in Manalapan, which was very interesting, although obviously the area has changed a lot since her day.
Besides design, do you have any other great passions?
I love architecture and especially learning about different cultures and their influences. I also love antiques and artifacts and find it a shame that they have lost their appeal recently, especially amongst the younger generation. I also enjoy other travel and outdoor activities.
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Holidays in Scotland with family and friends, very much like Swallows and Amazons.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Visiting antiques fairs, historic houses, museums, walking, riding, photography, cooking and entertaining.
What quote inspires you?
"We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us"—from my ancestor Winston Churchill.
Do you come to Palm Beach often? If so, what do you like about the area?
Not much, and if so, quick trips. I like the ocean, playing golf and visiting friends in the area.

3 Steps to Buying a Car in One Day
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Americans are apparently digging deep and coming up with the down payment and financing for new cars, even against some formidable economic headwinds.
According to auto-trading website Edmunds.com, Americans are expected to buy 15 million new vehicles in 2013, a 4% upswing from this year.
"Economic uncertainty at home and spillover effects from slowing economies abroad will continue to slow the pace of American economic growth, including car sales. But many of the same positive factors in play now will continue to support car sales momentum in 2013," says Dr. Lacey Plache, Chief Economist at Edmunds.com.
It's all about being on the "right path," says Edmunds' consumer advice analyst Philip Reed.
"Even though a car is a big-ticket purchase, you can do it quickly and with little stress," Reed says. "Break the task into the steps and you'll save time and money and still get the best car for you."
Here are the three key steps to buying a car or truck in a day , according to Reed:
- Find the vehicle. Edmunds says the first step is to find the exact type of vehicle you want.(The company, not surprisingly touts the Find Your Next Car feature on its home page .) Or check out the website of a favorite local dealer and identify the color and features you want in your new vehicle. Make sure to ring up the dealer and check that the car you want is actually on the lot.
- Close the deal. Once you've settled on the exact vehicle you want and have confirmed its immediate availability, ask the sales manager not only for the best price, but also for any incentives or rebates. Edmunds advises checking those figures against its True Market Value auto price comparison tool. If the number you got from the dealer is lower than the TMV quote, you're in good shape and can close the deal. If that number is higher, get on the phone and start negotiating with the dealership manager, letting him or her know you have the TMV figures in your back pocket.
- Set up delivery. Don't sign off on any deal without a guarantee the dealer will deliver the car or truck to you at your home or office. According to Edmunds, "the salesperson should oblige and arrange to have the car driven to your home or office. Inspect the car to verify it is the year, make and model you want and make sure there are no dents or scratches and all the equipment that's supposed to be there has been included." Also, check the fine print and make sure you're getting the deal you agreed to during those negotiations. After all, it's a contract you're going to have to live with for several years. Once you've determined everything is in order, make the payment to the dealer and accept the keys to your new vehicle.

Quick Hits: Scientific Journalism
In the vein of Jon Henke's "The Ultimate Metablog" with the satire of a good Monty Python skit (is there any other kind?), Martin Robbins lays out the definitive article for how scientific journalism is constructed. Here's the heading:
This is a news website article about a scientific paper
In the standfirst I will make a fairly obvious pun about the subject matter before posing an inane question I have no intention of really answering: is this an important scientific finding?
My favorite bits:
In this paragraph I will state in which journal the research will be published. I won't provide a link because either a) the concept of adding links to web pages is alien to the editors, b) I can't be bothered, or c) the journal inexplicably set the embargo on the press release to expire before the paper was actually published.
This fragment will be put on its own line for no obvious reason.
This paragraph contained useful information or context, but was removed by the sub-editor to keep the article within an arbitrary word limit in case the internet runs out of space.
Be sure to read the comments as well, where most everyone plays along with the theme. But beware of the related links … you may be taken to a place you never, ever want to be.[ad#Banner]

Day 2: Delhi. Arrive today in Delhi. Following customs and immigration formalities, you'll meet our representatives and transfer to your hotel. Accommodations: Shangri-La Eros Hotel.
Day 3: Old & New Delhi. After buffet breakfast at the hotel, board your coach to explore Old and New Delhi. Sprawling on the banks of the river Yamuna, bustling Delhi typifies the soul of India, where many layers of civilizations have flourished for more than 3,000 years. History tells of at least eight different cities established here, but Delhi's past is so ancient that the story of its origin derives more from mythology than written history. Today, it is a city truly full of fascinating contrasts, where by day, temples are packed with the devout, and by night, hotel discos are packed with the affluent.
Begin at the modern Laxmi Narayan Temple, built in honor of the Hindu goddess of wealth, Laxmi, and of her consort, Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the Hindu Trinity. Popularly known as the Birla Temple for the noted industrialist family which built it, Laxmi Naryan Temple was one of the first major Hindu places of worship open to the lower caste Harijans (untouchables).
Mahatma Gandhi made entry of Harijans one of the conditions for inaugurating the temple. Continue to Raj Ghat, the memorial to Gandhi, built at the site of his cremation on the banks of the Yamuna River. Drive past the magnificent Red Fort, built in 1648 as a symbol of Mughal's power.
Then, continue by bicycle rickshaw to Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque. Completed in 1656 after six years of work by 5,000 laborers, the red sandstone and marble mosque is considered one of the loveliest houses of worship in the world. Ascend one of the minarets for sweeping views over old Delhi.
Next, you'll marvel at the Qutab Minar, the world's tallest free standing minaret at 72.5 m (238 ft), and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tower, made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an, is a wonderful example of Indo-Islamic architecture. At its foot lies the Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid, the first mosque in India, erected in the 12th century from materials salvaged from 27 demolished Hindu and Jain shrines. Here you'll also find the Iron Pillar, a curiosity thought to date from 5th century A.D., which has never rusted.
Sightseeing continues in New Delhi, which reflects the legacy the British left behind. You'll see the India Gate, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens and reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The 42 meter high structure is a war memorial for the Indian soldiers who died in World War I and the Afghan Wars. Burning in a shrine under the arch is the Amar Jawan Jyoti (the flame of the immortal warrior), which marks the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Proceed to the Parliament building and the Rastrapathi Bhawan, the President's residence. Breakfast provided.
Day 4: Delhi & Agra. After a good night's sleep and breakfast, drive to Agra, an ancient city that came into prominence in Medieval times under the Mughal rulers and was once the capital of a sprawling Mughal kingdom covering much of southeast Asia. Check-in at your hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure. Accommodations:Trident Agra. Breakfast provided.
Day 5: Agra. This morning you'll rise early to enjoy an awesome sunrise tour of the Taj Mahal, truly one of the wonders of the world. Built in the 17th century by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as an expression of his love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, the Taj took 22 years and 20,000 men to build, its white marble quarried 200 miles away and transported to the site by a fleet of 1000 elephants. Though the Taj is known for its stunning symmetry and balance, it is the close-up marble inlay work which is really astounding. You'll have ample time to explore this outstanding piece of architecture, and to wander the pristine gardens that surround it.
Afterward, take advantage of special optional tours in Agra. Breakfast provided.
Optional Excursion: Visit the splendid Agra Fort, built by and inhabited by six successive generations of Mughal emperors—Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jehangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. Though often eclipsed by the Taj Mahal, this sprawling fortress, more accurately described as a massive walled palatial city, is magnificent in its own right, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. It was here that Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son, Aurangzeb, and from the Muasamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony, Jahan watched the continuing construction of his Taj Mahal until his death. ($25 per person)
Optional Excursion: This tour takes you to Itmad-Ud-Daulah, known as the "Baby Taj", the first Mughal structure totally built from marble. In addition, visit the Sikandra, the sandstone and marble tomb of Akbar which blends Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Christian motifs and styles, and other interesting sites. ($25 per person).
Day 6: Agra, Fatehpur Sikri & Jaipur. After breakfast, depart for Fatehpur Sikri, the once-glittering capital built by Mughal emperor Akbar beginning in 1570. It was abandoned shortly after it was completed for lack of water and remains today a ghost town. Marvel at the well-preserved red sandstone palaces and buildings.
Later, continue to Jaipur, stopping en route at Barara Village, where you'll have a special opportunity to learn about rural Indian village life and interact with locals. Accommodations: Trident Jaipur. Breakfast provided.
Day 7: Jaipur. This morning's tour takes you to the imposing Amber Fort, ancient capital of Rajasthan. The fort was begun in the 17th century by Maharaja Mansingh, Emperor Akbar's most successful general. Perched atop the Aravalli hills overlooking the Moat Lake, the fort's fortified battlements and crenulated walls spread over many acres.
Ascend to the fortress by jeep or elephant (if available) to view the sprawling complex of courtyards and halls, many of them hung with magnificent paintings and inlaid with precious stones. In the Sheesh Mahal—Hall of Mirrors—a single lamp is reflected in a mosaic of thousands of mirror tiles, lighting the entire room.
En-route to the Amber Fort, stop and see the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds). Its beehive-like structure is an interplay of red and pink sand stone, painstakingly outlined with white borders and motifs. Behind this elaborate latticed facade, the cloistered ladies of the court could watch the daily goings-on in the street below.
This afternoon, explore the markets and lanes of Jaipur on your own. Known as the Pink City, Jaipur is India's first and perhaps best planned city, full of beauty and color. Here you find magnificent palaces and gardens, serene lakes, and wide tree-lined streets. Except for the busy traffic of bicycles, cars and buses, little seems to have changed since 1727, when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II designed and built the city.
We recommend a stroll through the colorful streets and bazaars, where you can enjoy the colorful display of women's dresses and turbans of men, adding to the sense of timeless charm and wonder of this lovely and fascinating city. Buy spices or haggle for one of the beautiful, hand-woven wool carpets for which Jaipur is known. Breakfast provided.
Optional Excursion: Explore some of the city's famous pink sandstone buildings, including the City Palace Museum, housing the magnificent art collections of the Maharajas of Jaiputo. At the entrance to the City Palace is Jantar Mantar, the largest of five observatories founded by classical astronomer Sawai Jai Singh II nearly three centuries ago. Its 14 massive masonry instruments are extraordinarily precise and were used for measuring time, predicting eclipses, tracking stars' location as the earth orbits around the sun, ascertaining the declinations of planets, and more. ($30 per person)
Day 8: Jaipur & Delhi. Today, enjoy the scenic journey back to Delhi. Check into your hotel and enjoy dinner with your travel companions. Accomodations: Radisson Blu Hotel New Delhi Dwarka. Breakfast & dinner provided.
Day 9: Delhi & Kathmandu. Transfer to the airport for your flight to Kathmandu. You will be met on arrival and transferred to your hotel, conveniently located for exploring and shopping. Afternoon at leisure. Accommodations: Hyatt Regency. Breakfast provided.
Day 10: Kathmandu. Today's sightseeing begins with an excursion to Bhadgaon, a Newar city founded in the 9th century. Visit the ancient copper gateway, Durbar Square the royal Residential quarter of Bhupatindra Malla, famous five storey temple of Nyatapola in pagoda style and other temples. Later visit Bodhnath, a 2500-year-old Buddhist stupa, or holy place, for Buddhist pilgrims from Tibet. Also visit Pashupatinath temple area. Breakfast provided.
Day 11: Kathmandu.This morning's city tour takes you to Durbar Square, Hanuman Dhoka, the ancient royal residential quarter, Mahadev and Parvati temple, Machhender Bahl, holy place for the Buddhists and Hindus, and the temple house of Kumari. Afterwards, enjoy time to stroll through the local bazaars.
Tonight, join your fellow travelers for a farewell dinner accompanied by a traditional Nepalese dance performance. Breakfast & dinner provided.
Day 12: Kathmandu & Delhi. Enjoy the morning at leisure in Kathmandu to shop and explore independently.
Optional Excursion: This morning you will have an opportunity to experience an optional Mt. Everest scenic flight over the breathtaking Himalayas (weather permitting). This optional excursion can only be purchased locally.
This evening, bid farewell to India & Nepal as you transfer to the airport to board your flight to the USA via Delhi. Breakfast provided.
Day 13: Delhi/USA. Your memorable journey ends today when you arrive at JFK.

When we first heard about our tour to India, we were a little hesitant because the price was so low. We thought it may be too good to be true. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find out that it was everything we had hoped for and more. The flights were trouble-free and all the hotels were much better than expected. Our hotel in Delhi was the nicest hotel that I have ever stayed at! And I have traveled the world and been to many high class hotels. Also, we were initially concerned about our safety while in India. It turns out that safety was not an issue. Again, we were pleasantly surprised to find the Indian people very welcoming towards Americans. You couldn't find nicer people in the world. I don't know how you kept the tour price so low! Keep up the low prices and high standards. I can't wait to book my next Friendly Planet trip!

What's That Thorn in My Shin? - Page 3
If inflammation is absent, says Poppe, then some running may be OK if performed with minimal pain. Avoid running on hills, uneven terrain and overly firm surfaces, and refrain from high mileage and speed workouts until all discomfort dissipates. Also, consider adding cross training to your agenda, such as swimming, pool running and utilizing an elliptical machine or stationary cycle. Normally, after a few weeks of lying low you can ramp up the frequency, duration and intensity of your training.
If your shin pain becomes more severe or chronic, especially with sustained swelling, despite conservative treatment, curtail your mileage further or stop running completely.
Visit a specialty running retailer for a gait analysis. Also, purchase well-fitting running shoes, and replace them every 300 to 350 miles to ensure optimal cushioning. Orthotics that correct diagnosed biomechanical foot issues may also be warranted.
Additionally, maintain strong core muscles to promote or improve running mechanics and add strength training to your exercise routine, especially movements that target stabilizing muscles of the lower extremities.
"Overpronation is a common, possible cause of shin splints," says Poppe. "Therefore wearing the appropriate shoe with a footbed that helps reduce overpronation may help. However, core and balance/proprioceptive exercises are still key to preventing repetitive trauma injuries of the lower limbs."
According to Dr. Craig, no single method has been proven to consistently deter the onset of MTSS, but the most effective seem to be shock-absorbent insoles, pronation-control insoles and graduated running programs. "Stretching of the lower-leg musculature, however, has been consistently proven to not prevent MTSS," says Dr. Craig. Therefore, attempt to choose strength training exercises over excessive stretching to optimize prevention and/or recovery from shin splints.

I enjoy reading your knowledge! Our gas boiler, hot water heater & 2 central a/c units were compromised by salt water in the sandy storm. We got an inflated proposal of $12k for a wall mounted 90% boiler, We considered a more efficient greener cooling/heating system in geothermal & were told if we didn't insulate our attic first we would be loosing 10% of our heat anyway. Not sure if you're familiar with it but we were quoted over $40k for a 3 ton climatemaster that, when assessed by another guy were told it wasn't sufficient to heat our 2800 sq foot home & would constantly rely on stage 3 emergency heat, which would rise our electric bills & defeat the purpose of geo thermal. We never received schedule J calculations either. Our concern is the heat is set up with baseboards. The house, built in 1964 (which we moved into 4 months ago) is all stone on the first level and we are sure it will be cold. Any advice? Thanks!
Hi I enjoy reading your posts, you are quite knowledgable! Our gas boiler, hot water heater and a/c two zone units were compromised by salt water in the sandy storm.

Thanks for taking the time to respond Fencepost. Appreciate it.
Hi Fencepost, Thanks for the reply. I was looking for the history, what year it was made... the value etc. I have a small collection of floor model fire extinguishers. This particular fire Ex. I acquired from the owner of the home sometime in the 70's of the first permanent settlers of Sarasota Florida (Whitaker). The other models I have are more common and see them on the internet all the time... it's just this one pictured I can't find. If you have or know someone with more info I would appreciate it.

Here's how RW members rated this race (201 votes).
In short: A challenging but excellent course!In full: This was my second Half and my first off-road, and it was just the sort of challenge I was after! :)The terrain is tough and there are a few narrow sections, as well as some slippery parts due to the rain over previous days, but this never stopped me maintaining my pace.The route was incredibly scenic - made even better by the weather - and the atmosphere created by other participants, race officials and spectators alike was great.The organisation before, during and after was brilliant, and the marshals on route were first class, offering guidenace and encouragement.I'd definately recommend this event to runners of all abilities, for the challenge but also for the fun! :)Date of review: November 27, 2012
In short: Got my PB, very plesedDate of review: November 18, 2012
In full: Given it takes place mostly on a canalside track, it would not be much fun underfoot on a wet miserable day; but on a glorious autumn day with only a few pockets of mud & puddles, it was delightful.Date of review: November 16, 2012
In short: a scenic, flat course for all. In full: Fabulous course alongside the canal with fantastic weather. Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: An excellent race for all abilitiesIn full: Great race. Purple patch always put on well organised events. Really great marshals. Nice medal. Thanks to all.Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: Lovely scenery and a race to enjoyDate of review: November 12, 2012
In short: A difficult, narrow route to arrange a mass run but to my surprise it worked extremely well, excellent organisation on all levels - communication, transportation, route preparation.. and stretching the praise for organisation, sunny weather as well Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: Loved it - as alwaysIn full: Great weather, great marshals, great organisation - no gripes from me and will be back again next year.Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: I loved this event!In full: Fabulous event. A couple of minor niggles to get out the way the gate just after the start and in a few places it is a bit narrow for overtaking (more the fault of people running down the middle or 2 abreast without thinking), but they are very minor. Support on the course at the water points and recommended viewing spots was enthusiastic, the band at one of them a lovely surprise and some support from walkers and people on narrow boats.It's not really a course for PB chasing although I clocked one (albeit by just a handful of seconds), the course is predominantly flat and is certainly not slow. But I think most people don't enter for that reason, the course is lovely and makes for a thoroughly enjoyable run.Date of review: November 12, 2012

Foundation funds "Innovation in Education"
La Crosse Public Education Foundations awards $46,000
A number of local educators are receiving money to spend in their classroom.
The La Crosse Public Education Foundation awarded more than $46,000 on Monday as classroom innovation grants.
Teachers, students, and other faculty applied for the funds for initiatives that otherwise would not have been able to happen.
They range from innovations in the core subjects, to projects on global cultures, to special enrichment classes.
"With school budgets being what they are, a challenge to say the least, we are very happy to provide money to the teachers who may not be able to do this otherwise," says Tim Riley, Executive Director of the La Crosse Public Education Foundation, "we reward innovation and are very happy and grateful to the many donors who allow us to make this happen."
The money will fund 26 projects this year.
One of those is at Emerson Elementary School, where 3rd grade teacher Abby Ryan has found success letting her students sit on stability balls instead of desk chairs.
"My 3rd graders sit on them and they have great posture, their attention is more focused," says Ryan, "I've used them in the past, but the stability balls I had were getting old and used."
This is the 5th year the foundation has awarded the innovation grants.

Rolling Around in Southern England's South Downs - Page 2
Most Americans might not know that Brits use "down" as a synonym for a gently rolling hill, and "the Downs" refers to those famous grassy-topped limestone escarpments edging Southern England. With terrain more bucolic than bad-ass, and lots of family-friendly attractions and scenic side roads, the South Downs makes a brilliant trail-running vacation destination or a delightful daytrip from London.
"Despite the South Downs' proximity to so many big towns and cities, it's amazingly peaceful and beautiful," says Martin Bulger, a veteran of some 150 marathons and ultras and founder of the Seaford Striders. His club hosts the Seaford Half Marathon on the first weekend of June.
South Downs National Park, established in the spring of 2010, protects over 600 square miles of farmland, moorland, woods and coastline. Trails, too? Bloody right! The main artery, called the South Downs Way National Trail, runs diagonally through the heart of the region for a full 100 miles point to point.
Ultrarunner Jen Jackson of London likens the South Downs Way National Trail to a chocolate box because it offers so much that's sweet and varied about the English landscape, from quaint villages to wild woods and working farms. "In London, there is not much countryside to run, yet after an hour on the train, I can be on the South Downs Way soaking up the rural atmosphere," says Jackson. "It's well sign posted so I don't need to consult a map, and it's almost always going either up or down, so it's a challenging workout."
Jackson is a race director of the South Downs Way 100-Mile Ultra, held July 9 and this year is expected to draw about 200 runners. The event begins at the east end of the trail, near the seaside resort of Eastbourne and a 530-foot-high sea cliff (Britain's tallest) called Beachy Head.
"As you climb the heights of Beachy Head, you feel like you're on top of the world," says Jackson. The trail reveals the sheer cliff face towering over a red-and-white lighthouse sticking up from the sea. It's a postcard view on pleasant days, "but in bad weather, you are completely exposed to the elements while on the ridge. It can provide a rough experience in the wind and rain."
The South Downs Way Ultra gains about 13,600 feet in elevation to its end in Winchester, a city 68 miles southwest of London.. Numerous trail races take place on the South Downs Way (see sidebar), many of them concentrated near the east end of the trail, which goes past Beachy Head and another famous portion of cliffs named the Seven Sisters.

Topic: Rails - Consuming local JSON API from another controller
I am building an App that serves as the backend for an android app as well as a rails webapp. To serve as a back end, I have built a series of api controllers ( ex: api_users contoller with actions show, update etc.) which will return a JSON/ XML output (using RABL).
In my Webapp, when it is time to update the User profile say, I simply want to call the update action of the api_users controller and parson the json output in my User's controller, parse this output and then handoff the data to my view etc. How do I go about making such calls?
A very bad workaround seems to be to treat it like any external API and call it using Net::Http etc. It seems really strange that I should be able to consume an external api easily but not my local API. Can somebody help/ guide me to the recommended way of doing this?

Paul's comment and the debatesPosted Monday, January 7, 2008, at 7:18 AM
One comment Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul made during Saturday night's ABC debates hits home in Bedford County.
Paul was explaining his view on how President Bush's foreign policy turns other nations against the United States.
He said (from ABC transcript):
"Try to visualize how we would react if they did that to us, if a country, say China, came that great distance across the ocean, and they say, 'We want you to live like us. We want you to have our economic system. We want bases on your land. We want to protect our oil.'
"Even if we do that with good intentions -- even if the Chinese did that with good intentions, we would all be together and we'd be furious."
Bedford County can relate. Note specifically the "We want you to live like us..." comment and relate it to foreigners here.
I also wonder why Paul picked China as an example, considering the increasing business tie-ins between them and the U.S.
It was interesting to watch other Republicans, especially MItt Romney, attempt to discredit Paul's views.
The debate was also a good primer on how appearance and voice inflections can make a difference.
Hillary Rodham Clinton came across as strident and sort of what I'll call a "lecturing schoolmarm" visually and audibly. She seems more reasonable when you simply read the transcript. But I'm still searching for her proclaimed 35 years of change. Years of tending to Bill don't count.
Most of them came across reasonably well to me. The two who concern me the most are Paul, whose views on foreign policy are a little skewed, and Bill Richardson, who's a little too 'nice' concerning diplomacy. He reminds me a lot of Jimmy Carter in that respect.
And Barack Obama tended to say what he wants to do with few details of how he thinks he can make those things happen.
No candidate really stood out to me.
There's still a long way to go. It'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how things change following New Hampshire.
The candidates also seemed to be attacking each other to some extent, with a few openly complaining about it. What do the complainers expect? It's election season. Get over it.
Showing most recent comments first
[Show in chronological order instead]
That's right Richard.. It's good to know someone else actually reads about a candidate and their goals before making invalid assesments...
And David, I doubt very seriously Ron Paul would be lenient on foreign agressors. When asked "so you take your marching orders from Al Queda and when they tell you to get off the Arabian Peninsula you listen..." The GOP candidates laughed hysterically... But his rebuttal was simply, "NO!NO!NO! I take my marching orders from the Constitution".. and suddenly those comically laden candidates had nothing to say.

pleasebenice, since you mentioned education was the most important issue for you, here is a link to Ron Paul's views on education:
Ron Paul believes that the main problem with education in our country is the federal control of schools.Policies regarding curricula and discipline, once set by local teachers and principals working closely with parents, are now established in Washington. Paul wants to eliminate the federal department of education and give local communities more control.
He also introduced a bill that would give parents a $5000 federal tax cut per child for education expenses, as well as a bill that would give teachers a $3000 tax cut.
-- Posted by Richard on Mon, Jan 14, 2008, at 3:45 PM
I've studied the transcripts of the last two GOP debates (and watched most of the one in New Hampshire.)
Two thoughts concerning Ron Paul:
1. He's a little too soft toward potential foreign aggressors.
2. Does it seem to anyone else that fellow candidates, Romney in particular, are going out of their way to make him look bad?
-- Posted by David Melson on Mon, Jan 14, 2008, at 12:09 PM
And the only successful Republican I can think of is Ron Paul.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Jan 13, 2008, at 6:21 PM
And no single president is going to change hardly any of those issues alone. If a Republican gets elected he will be facing a tough Democratic majority and in essence will be ineffective...
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Jan 13, 2008, at 3:01 PM
Agree. But if a successful Republican can become President, produce effective and innovative ideas on the BIG issues, Congress will follow suit. It won't happen over night...but they will follow.

Hmm, well if it's education that is your top priority you should do some party realignment. Just a small word of advice. I look forward to hearing more about many of these candidates.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Jan 13, 2008, at 3:00 PM
This begs the question, who did you vote for in 2000 or 2004... Because I can guarantee you, people didn't do much soul searching then.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Jan 13, 2008, at 9:59 AM
Darrick, you are correct here. I did little to no research when it came to voting in the last two elections.
I voted for Bush in both elections. In 2000, I voted for Bush strictly because he was Republican and I think Al Gore is kind of shady AND I was only 22 (I was just excited to be voting!). In 2004, I voted for Bush because I didn't believe that Kerry had what it took to be President and he's too liberal for my vote.
Now in 2008, I have different priorities. I have children and I feel I need to be more invested in the leadership of this country. My main concerns in the right candidate in 2008 are ...EDUCATION, marriage, health care, immigration and foreign policy. (In that order).
Again, I look forward to finding the right one.

And here is Ron Paul true stance on Racism...
"A nation that once prided itself on a sense of rugged individualism has become uncomfortably obsessed with racial group identities.
The collectivist mindset is at the heart of racism.
Government as an institution is particularly ill-suited to combat bigotry. Bigotry at its essence is a problem of the heart, and we cannot change people's hearts by passing more laws and regulations.
It is the federal government that most divides us by race, class, religion, and gender. Through its taxes, restrictive regulations, corporate subsidies, racial set-asides, and welfare programs, government plays far too large a role in determining who succeeds and who fails. Government "benevolence" crowds out genuine goodwill by institutionalizing group thinking, thus making each group suspicious that others are receiving more of the government loot. This leads to resentment and hostility among us.
Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans strictly as members of groups rather than as individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike: as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Americans to adopt a group mentality, the advocates of so-called "diversity" actually perpetuate racism.
The true antidote to racism is liberty. Liberty means having a limited, constitutional government devoted to the protection of individual rights rather than group claims. Liberty means free-market capitalism, which rewards individual achievement and competence - not skin color, gender, or ethnicity.
In a free society, every citizen gains a sense of himself as an individual, rather than developing a group or victim mentality. This leads to a sense of individual responsibility and personal pride, making skin color irrelevant. Racism will endure until we stop thinking in terms of groups and begin thinking in terms of individual liberty."

Ok, so do you still kinda like him?
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 11:07 PM
No. Not unless I can find something that is more convincing than his published denial to persuade me that he has no responsibility for this garbage. In fact, I have not found a candidate that I could enthusiastically support. I will have to do some real soul searching this election to cast a vote.

As far as your comments on conservatism, I'm not really sure where you're trying to go with that. Huckabee is a strong conservative. But if you know more than I do about him (which I'm sure you do)... please enlighten me.
-- Posted by pleasebenice on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 8:17 PM
Honestly couldn't tell you much about him. That's why I never mentioned him specifically. He speaks eloquently but what leadership positions has he been in? Please inform me. I have a very open mind here. Hence, I'm a Democrat who supports a Republican [Ron Paul]
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 11:09 PM
Now, as for the majority of the other Republicans running they pretty much think that, they just don't say it.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 6:49 PM
As for the other candidates I don't attempt to smear them, they do that enough themselves when they preach one thing and practice a complete contradiction.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 7:41 PM
Voting record notwithstanding, the publication of the newsletter "The Ron Paul Report" (and other variations, but with his name attached) went on for 4 or more years with some really racially hateful speech and nutty conspiracy theories. You would think that during that period someone would have pointed this out to him even if he missed it. I am afraid he might be preaching one thing and practicing another.

*He does not know enough about the details of the Terry Schiavo case to comment.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 7:56 PM
WELL, THAT DID IT! Thompson just lost my vote.
-- Posted by pleasebenice on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 8:19 PM
I have no comment on Ron Paul other than I look forward to looking into his credentials and where he stands on the issues. I really didn't think he was a heavy hitter until the debate and this conversation (frankly, I'm still not so sure about his how strong his future is).
As far as your comments on conservatism, I'm not really sure where you're trying to go with that. Huckabee is a strong conservative. But if you know more than I do about him (which I'm sure you do)... please enlighten me.

Why NOT to vote for Thompson...
*He refuses to take a pledge not to raise taxes.
*He lobbied for an abortion advocacy group before becoming a U.S. senator.
*He employed his son in a no-show job for $170,000 for four years at his political action committee after leaving office.
*As a lobbyist, he helped the attorney representing the Libyan terrorists who blew up Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie Scotland, to fight requests to extradite them to the U.K. to stand trial;
*His other lobbying clients included Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the leftist Haitian dictator who, but for a lack of oil, would have been the Hugo Chavez of the last generation;
*He skipped and is skipping the first two debates of his presidential candidacy.
*He does not know enough about the details of the Terry Schiavo case to comment.
*He is also unfamiliar with the proposal to lower soaring insurance premiums Floridians must pay for home storm coverage since the hurricanes.
*He said that Iraqis were supporting us because of al Qaeda's ban on smoking.
*He's run through three campaign managers and as many communications directors in just three months.
*He fell short in the fundraising competition, coming up with only a net of $2.8 million by the end of July.
*After leaving the Senate, he picked up his lobbying career by representing Equitas, an insurance company he helped dodge paying for asbestos/cancer claims.
*After negative publicity about his comments suggesting that Cuban immigrants were potential suicide bombers, he blamed Hillary Clinton for causing the publicity by "releasing a statement that she made trying to capitalize on something when she knew better"
*He didn't know enough about drilling in the Everglades to comment.
Among many others...

I am right about him devan, it is as simple as reading and reviewing his voting record... As for the other candidates I don't attempt to smear them, they do that enough themselves when they preach one thing and practice a complete contradiction.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 7:41 PM
I was willing to accept your support of Paul's record and give him the benefit of the doubt. What I don't think is very Godly is to smear the other Republican candidates by accusing them with what you think they think. If you can produce something to support this I will consider it just as I did your statements about Paul.
PS. I hope you are right about Paul I kind of like him too.
-- Posted by devan on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 5:46 PM
I agree 100% HorseGentler...
Thompson probably won't win because he completely embodies what the outgoing administration stands for.. and obviously if November 2006 didn't teach us something, I am not sure what will..
And devan, I am not quite sure what kind of Godly person you claim to be, but for once try to find good in someone, instead of continually finding the flaws. Or is that what Jesus would do?
And pleasebenice, if you honestly look at Ron Paul's record [in depth] and read his stances on the most crucial issues of the day you will find yourself baffled at what conservativism really means. It's not portrayed in the majority of the other candidates rhetoric or records.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 3:49 PM
Anybody seen Fred Thompson lately?
-- Posted by pleasebenice on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 2:50 PM
Yep, I saw him on an old Law & Order episode the other night.
Personally I hope he goes back to acting and stays out of politics, as he's much better at acting than politics.
-- Posted by HorseGentler on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 4:41 PM
Finding the perfect candidate in this election is going to be hard.
I'm strictly conservative and will vote that way. However, there's not a bumper sticker out there that I'm willing to slap on my van yet.
I want to LOVE Huckabee....He's got great Christian beliefs and I love his "hands on" approach to many things. But not sure where he is on foreign policy...not so sure he knows either.
I want to LOVE Thompson....I'm all for another Reagan administration but where the hay is he? Anybody seen Fred Thompson lately?
I want to Like Romney...but I don't.
I look forward to finding THE right one.
-- Posted by pleasebenice on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 2:50 PM
Thanks Richard and Darrick than tells, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story.
Now as far as your statement that the Republican candidates think like that. Are you reading minds or it there something to back that up?
-- Posted by devan on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 11:39 AM
Thank you Richard, I went to his site and nearly posted that too, but I went to bed at 8:00pm, lol..
Needless to say this a smear attack on Ron Paul, and the only thing he was responsible for was not retrieving this deceptive article in time, thus unknowingly allowing it to be published in his name. Like you said though, look at the man's voting record, it is one of the most consistent and humane records in the history of congress.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 7:08 AM
Ron Paul's response:
"The quotations in The New Republic article are not mine and do not represent what I believe or have ever believed. I have never uttered such words and denounce such small-minded thoughts.
"In fact, I have always agreed with Martin Luther King, Jr. that we should only be concerned with the content of a person's character, not the color of their skin. As I stated on the floor of the U.S. House on April 20, 1999: 'I rise in great respect for the courage and high ideals of Rosa Parks who stood steadfastly for the rights of individuals against unjust laws and oppressive governmental policies.'
"This story is old news and has been rehashed for over a decade. It's once again being resurrected for obvious political reasons on the day of the New Hampshire primary.
"When I was out of Congress and practicing medicine full-time, a newsletter was published under my name that I did not edit. Several writers contributed to the product. For over a decade, I have publically taken moral responsibility for not paying closer attention to what went out under my name."
-- Posted by Richard on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 10:28 PM
I reread the article cited above. I think it would take more that a denial to convince me that he was not culpable. Even if he didn't write the stuff quoted it reflects badly on his judgment and oversight if he let it be published under his banner. In addition, the other associations described don't appear too savory either.
-- Posted by devan on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 7:18 PM
Devan you are indefinitely wrong.. Ron Paul has published a statement that this letter is false and he would never and has never said such a thing. Now, as for the majority of the other Republicans running they pretty much think that, they just don't say it.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 6:49 PM
My understanding of the article is that it was his newsletter and he has to take responsibility for what was published in it. Am I wrong?
-- Posted by devan on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 2:02 PM
devan, Ron Paul didn't write or edit any of those newsletters. If you look at his record, you will know that those are not his views.
-- Posted by Richard on Thu, Jan 10, 2008, at 3:01 AM
Looks like Paul may have some views that are not so"constitutional". The title of this article is "Angry White Man".
-- Posted by devan on Wed, Jan 9, 2008, at 6:50 PM
Agreed... I vote for Ron Paul, because his foreign policy isn't a little skewed. He is a strict constitutionalist and believes in following it. His idea is the truth, we know very well that if another country came over here, wheter by boat or by air and demanded we changed our entire system we would then become the "insurgents"... It isn't so easy to call Iraqi's insurgents when you consider how you, yourself would react to foreign invaders holding million dollar military weapons over your head.

Carol L. (Dickman) Martin was born on January 18, 1939, to Manville Dickman and Florence Lewis in Enid, Okla. Then with her parents they moved first to Northfield and later to Wells where she lived until junior high and later to Mankato where she graduated from Mankato High School in 1957. Carol met Richard Martin while they were in junior high and continued getting to know each other and were united in marriage on January 2 of 1958. Richard, who was in the Air Force by this time, had to return to duty in Germany in the U.S. Air Force. Upon returning home, Richard and Carol started their family.
