(BPT) - Many families relish summer, weekends and holidays as opportunities to reconnect with each other through vacations, special events and relaxed schedules. But changes in schedule and travel can often be disruptive for children and make it difficult to get back in the swing of things for school, particularly children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), who typically need routine and structure.
ADHD affects nearly 1 in 10 children in the U.S. between the ages of 4 and 17. While the specific causes of ADHD are unknown, there is evidence that it may have its basis in genetics. Children with ADHD may exhibit hyperactivity, impulsivity and have problems paying attention to tasks at hand. These symptoms often play out in the classroom setting.
Elaine Taylor-Klaus, CPCC, PCC, a writer and mother in an ADHD family of five and co-founder of ImpactADHD, an organization dedicated to helping and coaching parents of children with ADHD, says, "After years of trying to 'normalize' my child's behavior, I finally accepted that she often had different needs. Of course, we had been managing those needs with therapies, nutrition plans, doctors, medication, etc., for years. But, I eventually realized that beyond treating the symptoms, I had to re-evaluate how I viewed my family and ask for support when I needed it. ADHD is more than a clinical diagnosis, and families need practical tools at their disposal to manage the day-to-day challenges."
If you would like to supplement your positive approach to raising a child with ADHD, check out Making Moments™ (available at www.ADHDMoments.com), an online resource that features practical tips and strategies from experts specializing in education, sleep, coaching and parenting children with ADHD, sponsored by Pfizer. The Making Moments H.O.M.E. (Helping Our Moms and Dads Everyday) Team experts draw on their area of expertise as well as personal experience in working with children with ADHD to create short videos and articles. Ms. Taylor-Klaus is one of four H.O.M.E. Team experts who helps to navigate the challenges of the back to school transition and provides tips on setting up strong routines.
"Every parent will lose their cool sometimes, but speaking as a dad raising a child with ADHD, I've learned that one of the most important things I can do to relieve that stress is to remain calm in front of my child," said another Making Moments expert, Kirk Martin, a father of a child with ADHD and the founder of Celebrate Calm, which provides parents, teachers and students practical, concrete strategies for emotional regulation, de-stressing and meditation. "Making Moments is a great collaboration of experts because the H.O.M.E. Team works together to pool our knowledge and help other families incorporate tactics that will supplement the positive approach that they are already taking."
The Making Moments website addresses topics that may appeal to parents of children with ADHD as they ease back into the school year, such as:
* A Better Bedtime: Good Sleep Habits
* Suggestions for Building Strong Relationships with Teachers
* Setting Expectations
* Potential Methods to Manage Meltdowns
The H.O.M.E. Team is rounded out by Michele Borba, Ed.D. and Lisa Shives, M.D. Dr. Borba is a former special education teacher, renowned parenting expert and author of 22 books, including The Big Book of Parenting Solutions: 101 Answers to Your Everyday Challenges and Wildest Worries. Dr. Shives has been at the forefront of sleep health for nearly a decade, specializing in sleep problems in children and adolescents.

Like you, people have been interested in exploring Asheville for a long time.
The first people to fall in love with it were the Cherokee Indians, who appreciated the fertile ground and teeming forests at the confluence of the Swannanoa and French Broad rivers.Noting the haze to the blue skies above the mountains, they called it "Land ofthe Blue Smoke," a beloved name that evolved into the Smoky Mountains.
Spanish explorer Hernando de Sotopassed through in 1540 in his (unsuccessful) search for gold. Languishing for years as open hunting ground and as the occasional site of intertribal Indian games, according to legend, the town got its start in 1784, when Col. Samuel Davidson used his soldier's land grant to move his family into the SwannanoaValley.
Not long after he built hisfamily's log cabin on an embankment of Christian Creek, Cherokee hunters lured him into the woods and killed him. His wife and their child escaped on foot to Davidson's Fort, named after Davidson's father General John Davidson, 16 miles away.
Raising a group of men, Davidson' s twin brother Major William Davidson and brother-in-law Colonel Daniel Smith went to retrieve Samuel Davidson's body and avenge his murder. Months later, Major Davidson and his family returned to the area and settled at the mouth of Bee Tree Creek.
One thousand people, not counting Cherokee, lived in the area, according to the 1790 Census. In 1797 the name of the county seat, by then a small village at the confluence of two old Indian trails, was changed from Morristown to Asheville, named after North Carolina Governor Samuel Ashe.
The town, now containing roughly 2,500 people, went largely unscathed during the Civil War, to which it contributed a sizeable number of Confederate recruits. In the Battle of Asheville, fought in April 1865 on the hills that comprise what is now the University of North Carolina Asheville campus, a contingent of Confederate reserves and recuperating soldiers repelled Union troops.
A railroad spur brought into Asheville from Salisbury, N.C. opened the area to commerce, initiating the beginnings of slow industrial growth and steady prosperity to those who could start and find work in manufacturing plants and storage facilities. It and other railway lines ferried in thousands of sick and infirmed people attracted to Asheville's reputation as a sanatorium for tuberculosis and other ailments (in 1948, F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife Zelda, locked in her room and awaiting electroshock therapy, died in a fire at an Asheville hospital).
Capitalizing on its popularity as amedical and tourist destination, the city experienced phenomenal growth in the first two decades of the 20th century, a spurt alluded to in natives on Thomas Wolfe's novel "Look Homeward, Angel." The rapid rise led to ruin, however, with the 1929 stock market crash. Unlike many municipalities, the city refused to default on its debt, paying it off over the course of five decades.
Because of the economic stagnation, downtown Asheville's buildings remained largely untouched, resulting in one of the nation's largest collection of Art Deco buildings (the city is said to besecond only to Miami in its concentration of the Art Deco architectural style).
Because of its close proximity to hiking, biking and rafting in the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky mountains, a health-conscious generation embraced the city in the early 1980s, turning it –and its downtown rapidly filling with cafes, restaurants and galleries – into the glittering destination that it is today.
Asheville, a favorite vacation spot for President Barack Obama and his family, tops many publications and organizations' "best of" lists, including Modern Maturity's "50 Most Alive Places To Be," AmericanStyle magazine's "America's Top 25 Arts Destinations,", Self magazine's "Happiest City for Women," AARPMagazine's "Best Places to Reinvent Your Life" and Rolling Stone magazine's "New Freak Capital of the U.S."
In 2006, Outside Magazine named Asheville one the "Best Outside Towns." In 2007, Frommer's Cities Ranked and Rated named the city one of the top seven U.S. places in which to live. That same year Frommer's travel guides said it was one of the world's top 12 "must-see" destinations.
In its 11th annual ranking of the"Best Places for Business and Careers," Forbes.com ranked Asheville number 6 in the top metro areas category. U.S. News & World Report has called Asheville one of "America's Best Affordable Places to Retire." In 2010, Asheville topped Top Retirements.com's list of most popular retirement towns.
In 2010, Livability.com ranked Asheville one of its 10 "most surprisingly vibrant food cities." HuffingtonPost.com has placed it among its "Top 10 Undiscovered Local Food Cities." The travelblog Gadling.com has called the city one of the best cities in the world for drinking beer.
And in a nationwide online poll inMay 2011, the city was name - for the third year running - "Beer City USA."

See, I did philosophy in school and worked in both student government and wrote for the college newspaper. That's how my track into PR started. Plus, well, my friend Kyle who told me I'd be good at PR (he also told me to start blogging - so, it's pretty much all his fault).
It all started, naturally, with one student saying she didn't like me. And that made me laugh, because she didn't like what I wrote on my blog. But from that moment, I got to meet Robert French (a man that's done more for PR and social media than 99.99 percent of the social media gurus that tend to give nothing back). And from him, I've mentored AU students, become good friends with a bunch of them and helped them out when I could with job leads and introductions.
I don't get them jobs - they do that themselves - but I make introductions that may help them out. And that's key - and interesting, as when I reached out to a few students, one of them was dismissive that she didn't need help. A nicely stereotypical generational response and attitude that will not work well for her in the real world.
And it comes down to this: we can all use mentors. I still talk to mine (like I noted in my first HAPPO post) and if it's not for the future practitioners, all this talk of PR or PR 2.0 (pshaw) or whatever is for nothing. If we don't give back and help the future generation grow, there won't be a future generation of PR.

If we don't give back and help the future generation grow, there won't be a future generation of PR.
And it also means giving them realistic advice - not bad advice like telling them to stick with a firm for 3-5 years because it makes the firm and its founder look better - but letting them know the good and bad of PR, what to expect and to be realistic on salary and titles. It ain't all roses, but if you like what you do, you're better off than most people.
So this time around, it's cut and dry. I'm highlighting people that I interact with on Twitter, and may or may not have been recommended to me by the various professors I speak with IRL and on Twitter. They are all vouched for, they're all looking for work, and I'd hire any of them in a minute. Because I've yet to be let down by one of the AU students, or the UGA students, or others I've mentored throughout the years (favorite little Spartans and all).
Plus, well, I am trying to build my ARMY OF EVIL PR STUDENTS ... one day, I'll figure out what to do with them.

NB: the students had the choice of answering questions, writing a few paragraphs or doing a video - and we got all those covered.
Your college and when do you graduate?
Auburn University- August 9, 2010
What type of public relations do you want to go into?
I would love to go into media relations, publicity or event planning but I am not limited to these.
What city you want to live in?
New York City
What would your dream first job be like?
My dream first job would be in NYC where I am in a company or firm that allows for creativity and offers guidance to entry level employees. My dream job would allow me to be an active participant in meetings, planning and allocation of PR campaigns. I have so many ideas and I'm ready to use them!
What you like about public relations and social media?
I love that public relations is always changing. It makes your day to day work exciting by learning about new technologies and new ideas. I love social media because it is immediate. A message can get to thousands of people withing a matter of minutes and it blows my mind! I find it fascinating.
Extra-curricular activities that relate to PR or SM
I was the Assistant Director of PR for The University Program Council for two years, the Vice President Education for my sorority, a Camp War Eagle Parent Counselor and I am a site administrator on the Auburn University social network Auburn Family. See my website for my details on these positions.
An interesting tidbit about yourself and/or biographical background?
I was raised in a town outside of Atlanta and have always had a desire to move to New York City. Now is my time and I'm ready to move there. Check out my video about the PR campaign I started called #GetAmandaToNYC!
My name is Miranda Ayim and I am a recent graduate of Pepperdine University ('10). I have just finished four years of Division 1 women's basketball, and I would like to pursue a career in professional basketball.
My goal is to play in the WNBA or overseas for a few years. While this may not seem to contribute to my field of study, it is, I believe, an appropriate road to take to reach my ultimate goal of practicing public relations in the sports or entertainment industry. My existing knowledge of the sports community will hopefully give me an advantage in pursuing this goal. I would love to work with the NBA or NFL.
As of now, I do not have a specific position or "dream job" that I aspire to. Rather, I am looking for experience in various positions in the athletic world to gain a better idea of what might be a good fit for me.
I also mentioned my interest in the entertainment industry, the music industry in particular. This is another passion of mine, and a place where I hope to end up working in the future. Since sports is generally grouped under the umbrella term of "entertainment," alongside music, movies and television, there is plenty of opportunity for overlapping job experiences.
I appreciate and am well acquainted with the popular social media sites and mediums, but I am especially excited about the face-to-face dynamic of some PR jobs. I enjoy Facebook and Twitter as much as the next college student, and I also have my own blog called C2C: College to Career; however, I love interacting with people on a more personal level. As a Canadian citizen who loves her hometown but has lived in California for the past four years, I would enjoy staying in the LA area to start my career (quite appropriate for working in sports/entertainment PR) but am also open to living on the east coast.
My name is Tara Allstun, and I am graduating from Pepperdine University in 2 days with a double major in psychology and public relations. When it comes to the type of PR that I want to go into, I can't say that there is one specific area I am interested in. Event planning has struck my interest, as well as corporate public relations, or even specializing in viral marketing. My lifelong goal is to become an expert in something, I just don't know what that something is yet.
I am very open as to where I end up living, but I would like to end up around the midwest or west coast. My dream first job will introduce me to a mentor and hone my writing skills, as I understand that writing is a vital part of PR. Furthermore, while I have had an internship specific to PR in the past, I like learning about the "real world" of PR, as it is sometimes different from the theoretical discussions that we have in classes. Work environment is really important to me, and I want to find an office where I am comfortable and feel like an asset to the company.
In terms of what I like about PR, I really enjoy the social media aspect, including figuring out effective and creative ways to use this newer medium to a client's advantage. I also enjoy the writing aspect of public relations, as writing has always been one of my strong points. When it comes to social media, I have a Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook account, which I use regularly, and like to do my own research to see how companies I follow use these mediums. I recently started a blog, though its main focus has not yet been decided. I'm in the process of researching how to effectively use blogs, and I hope that running my own personal blog will help me to implement corporate blogs in future job experiences.
There is really too much about me to put in a short post, but I'm a redhead, born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. It's always been hard for me to blend in with the crowd because of my carrot-top, but I love it. Even when I was born, my hair was so vibrant that the nurses at the hospital had to move me to the front of the nursery because everyone in the maternity ward kept asking to get a closer look at "that redheaded baby."
My name is Marcella Lentini and I'm a soon-to-be public relations graduate from the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication. Ideally I would love to stay in the beautiful Pacific Northwest or northern California as I transition out of college life this Spring, but with hardly any obligations to hold me back I'm open to a new adventure outside of this region. By embracing public relations as my field of interest, I've given myself the gift of a career that could take me anywhere in the world. The need for public relations isn't confined to any one area, city, state or country and this is one of the many reasons I love it. The ability to use my knowledge and ability to communicate in a way that will help inform and enlighten people is what it's all about for me.
I'm a total foodie and find myself thinking about the smells, tastes and textures of food every day of my life. Nutrition and a balanced lifestyle is my foundation and my dream job would be to use my public relations skills for an agency or an organization that will benefit from my passion for health and wellness!
My mantra in life is "I can do anything I can Google." I am Rachel Friedman, a driven, innovative and sharp job candidate interested in PR career opportunities in the LA/OC area, especially the technology and digital media industry. I graduate in May from Pepperdine University with a Master of Science in Communication specializing in PR, persuasion, and mass media. My PR and marketing experience lays in the grass roots, non-profit, beauty, publishing, hospitality, and tech industries. I excel at project management, communication research and strategy, and creative problem-solving.
Pepperdine recently nominated me as an honoree for Who's Who Among American Universities primarily for my work to enhance our public relations program. I re-established a failed PRSSA chapter on campus and I am founder and director of ExPRess PR of Malibu, a student-run PR firm that offers pro-bono work for local non-profit organizations. At the PRSSA national conference this year, the National president honored me with the National Leadership Award for the success of our chapter and firm.
A project I am most proud of is coordinating the Hunger Cleanup, a volunteer community outreach event that resulted in record-breaking fundraising, over 80 volunteers who donated a day to 5 local community improvement projects, hundreds of pounds of food for local food bank, great media coverage, and the mayor's official declaration of annual Hunger Cleanup Day henceforth.
Thanks for getting to know a bit about me and please contact me if you know any PR job opportunities in the LA/OC area that you think would suit me!
I am a well-rounded, experienced soon-to-be college graduate. During the past four years, I have worked in fund-raising, event planning, journalism and new media. Through these experiences, I have can offer employers a varied skill set, mold to client's varied needs.
I am passionate about social media! Platforms like Twitter, Facebook and location-based applications offer real-time case studies of successful PR and the social community has served as another classroom. With today's immediacy of information sharing, social media skills are ESSENTIAL for success in the communications industry and I am confident in my understanding of the social media environment. Plus, I love the way social media truly forces brands and organizations to be accountable to their publics.
I give back. In addition to a rigorous academic schedule and internship experience, I am also highly involved in my community as a member of the largest campus philanthropy in Georgia (UGA HEROs) and a highly selective leadership program (Leadership UGA). I am also involved in UGA's chapter of PRSSA, serving on the 2009 UGAConnect Social Media and Public Relations Conference planning committee and PRWorkout 2010's Social Media Panel. Grady College and UGA offers students a wide range of opportunites to get involved and I am lucky to have taken part!
When approaching the job search, I hope to find a forward-thinking company that encourages innovation and creativity while focusing on integrated, strategic communications. Right now, I am researching opportunities with digital agencies around the country; I am pretty much open to any city! You're only young and unattached once, right?
* * *
Now a coda: it's really easy as PR professional to do this for one day. It's really easy to turn your blog over to 10 or 15 or however many "special" students ... and then do nothing at all. Yes, we know all professionals are busy - we're ALL busy. But doing nothing the rest of the time is just hypocritical. Turning over your blog is easy to do; helping others is the hard thing to do.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — A mayor in northern Mexico says heavy rains caused a half-built church in a suburb of Monterrey to collapse during Mass, killing a 10-year-old boy and injuring 24 church goers.
Juarez Mayor Rodolfo Ambriz says the injured were taken to local hospitals where the severity of the wounds is still unclear. The boy died on his way to the hospital.
The Roman Catholic Church of Santa Clara de Asis was under construction and a tarp had been put up as a roof. Authorities say a cold front brought heavy rains to the northern state of Nuevo Leon that apparently brought down the tarp Sunday morning and the concrete structure with it.

Gerasimus the Righteous of Jordan
Document Actions
March 4
This Saint, who was from Lycia in Asia Minor, lived there for many years as a hermit, and then went to Palestine. There he built the great Lavra by the Jordan River, where a lion served him with great obedience and devotion. One day the lion came looking for Gerasimus that he might feed him, but his disciples took the lion to the place where they had buried the Saint shortly before. The lion fell at the Saint's grave and, after roaring with grief, died at that very place. Saint Gerasimus reposed in 475.
Apolytikion of Gerasimus of the Jordan in the First Tone
Thou didst prove to be a citizen of the desert, an angel in the flesh, and a wonderworker, O Gerasimus, our God-bearing Father. By fasting, vigil, and prayer thou didst obtain heavenly gifts, and thou healest the sick and the souls of them that have recourse to thee with faith. Glory to Him that hath given thee strength. Glory to Him that hath crowned thee. Glory to Him that worketh healings for all through thee.
Kontakion of Gerasimus of the Jordan in the Fourth Tone
As a star resplendent with the light of virtues, thou didst make the wilderness of Jordan radiantly shine with beams of sacred celestial light, O righteous Father, God-bearing Gerasimus.

text: The Behaviors that Destroy Your Financial Health (and How to Avoid Them)Tessa Miller1/22/13 2:00pmFiled to: MoneyBehaviormental healthFinanceFinancesBudgetSaving MoneyPsychologyRepublishedTopshutterstock554EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink If you received a raise tomorrow, what would you do with the extra money? Most people would celebrate—maybe with a nice dinner out or a great bottle of wine, which you deserve. However, earning more should not always change your current or long-term spending habits. The problem is that our minds have the tendency to think we can (and should) spend it. This can quickly create a loss of context, consistency, and control. Advertisement These behavioral tendencies are often seen in clinical disorders, and can affect your financial health. They're also far more common than many realize.Financial wellness is not about having so many dollars in your bank account, but about being someone who behaves in a financially healthy way by spending, saving, and living better. But what about those unhealthy financial behaviors that sneak up on us? How do we face them head on, instead of sweeping them under the rug? Advertisement You may be shocked to learn that basic elements of common behaviors often seen in personality disorders can trickle into the lives of even the healthiest of individuals and affect their day-to-day financial behavior. Let's explore three of the most common behaviors.A Loss of PerspectiveThe first behavioral challenge we all face is a loss of perspective.Remember your first paycheck? While we all savored that initial euphoria of the world being our oyster, that feeling dissipated quickly once you discovered the limits of your own largesse and factored in unavoidable expenses such as rent, car payments or student loans. By not falling into that same mental trap today and assuming you have more money than you actually have, you'll avoid the sticker shock you get when you open up your credit card statement each month. Sponsored You don't need to experience euphoria to feel wealthier than you actually are. But you're damaging your financial health by not looking at your numbers or balancing how much you're spending with how much you're earning."When people are manic, they have an inflated self-esteem and view of themselves—their sex appeal, their resources—and they have the inability to process the consequences of their actions, which leads to staggering indiscretions," says Dr. Igor Galynker, a psychiatrist and the director of the Family Center for Bipolar at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City. Advertisement Advertisement How can you avoid this? One simple approach is to come up with your "Daily Spend" so you never lose focus. What is your Daily Spend? It's your take home pay, minus all of your required living expenses divided by 30. When you go out shopping, you'll have a whole new perspective when you realize that the nice shirt you're looking at is seven days worth of your Daily Spend.An Addictive PersonalityWe've all heard it. A lot of us have said it. "I have an addictive personality." But in most cases, we're referring to an innocent attachment to something we can't live without: a daily habit. Our trusted Starbucks latte fix. An after-work glass of wine. Eating out for lunch every day!While neither of these simple pleasures would classify us as an addict, have you stopped to think about how these daily purchases are affecting your financial health? How much are they costing you in the grand scheme of things? And could you live without them? In many cases of alcohol, drug, or gambling addiction, these behaviors started out just like anyone else—innocent and sparse—but spiralled as the daily fix lost its luster. Advertisement "No one knows what causes addictive behaviors, like shopping, alcoholism, drug abuse, and gambling," says Ruth Engs, a professor from the applied health science department at Indiana University. "Some of the new evidence suggests that some people, maybe 10%-15%, may have a genetic predisposition to an addictive behavior, coupled with an environment in which the particular behavior is triggered, but no one really knows why."While you aren't likely to go broke from frequent trips to Starbucks, if you can't afford the habit, it could still damage your financial health. This is especially true when the cost of your habit is greater than just a coffee. A bottle of wine a day or a pack or two of cigarettes will add up significantly.How can you avoid this? Create a snapshot of how much you spend on your daily habits over the course of a month. Sometimes just seeing the total cost will be enough to curb your addiction. If not, maybe it's time to budget for it. Take a look at your Daily Spend and factor in your habits into your expenses. This will create a more realistic look at how much you do have to spend every day—already taking into account that glass of wine or latte.A Loss of ControlAre you an oniomaniac? Maybe you've heard this more colloquially described as being a "shopaholic." While it may sound cute and out of a chick-lit novel, in its worst form, such behaviors can destroy relationships, and at best, hinder your ability to be financially healthy. To know if you have it, just ask yourself the following: Advertisement Advertisement 1) How much of your time is spent buying things or thinking about buying things? 2) How often do you feel guilt, depression or shame because of your discretionary purchases? 3) How often do your discretionary purchases impair your ability to pay for basic necessities?How can you avoid this? If your answer is "often" to any two of these, or "always" to even just one, then it's time to speak to a licensed therapist about how you can find a happier, more sustainable lifestyle. If you're most people, however, your answers will most likely be "sometimes" or "rarely." But those "sometimes" can be the difference between being financially healthy and financially ill.Take a moment to examine your own behaviors. Accept those that you now have, and use these tools to make a change. Your financial health depends on it.

Spa Treatments in Unlikely Places: Take Advantage
And if you live in the Seattle area? Go check them out ... just save some massage time for me.
'lisciously scribed by Heather Murphy-Raines @ 10:29 AM
Labels: bargain, cooley smiles, dentist, economy, massage, spa, spa treatment, wax seattle
I don't want to hear about your wonderful dentists. LALALALALALAAA. (Imagine me with my hands in my ears, singing. Okay, not my hands, I'm using them for typing. A small toddler is definitely trying to cover my eyes to prevent me seeing all about it.
Grumble grumble grumble.
Before I changed jobs and moved to a different town, I thought I was heaven because my dentist provided "muff" earphones and an extensive range of music to listen to while he worked. But his assistant never touched my feet. You've definitely found a pair of keepers in Seattle!
Nothing like a good spa candle to freshen up a bathroom or use by a hot tub.
I'm almost tempted to make the 8-hour round-trip from Spokane just to visit someone who's not a sadist. I definitely have no fond feelings for my dentist (though it could be the snotty receptionist who sours me on the whole practice). Glad you found someone so aamzing - almost makes it not so terrible to go!
(My apologies of this posts multiple times...I can't get my Google login to take)
You just made me so happy!! New dentist here I come!!

The objective was to create an interior that was the sports car equivalent of a jet fighter pilot's helmet. The key elements of this concept were unlimited visibility, a feeling of snugness or intimacy with the interior of the vehicle, and the sense that the cockpit and driver were out in the airstream rather than enclosed and isolated from the environment. To achieve this feeling, the seating space for the driver and passenger was designed to fit snugly at the hips and flow outward and upward to provide ample space for the head and shoulders.
A low seating position contributes to a low center of gravity and helps to reduce the frontal area for improved aerodynamics. Ordinarily, a low hip-point would impart to the driver the feeling of being buried in the interior and create a claustrophobic feeling. To avoid this, the body engineers created a very low cowl section which allowed them to lower the height of the dash and instrument panel. The low cowl also enhances forward visibility.
In designing the instrument panel, the approach was one of simplicity. Since the primary function of the instruments is to relay information as clearly and quickly as possible, the designers opted for a traditional analog execution. The instrument faces are round with white numerals on a black background. The instrument panel is dominated by the tachometer on the left and the speedometer on the right. To the left of the tach are the smaller water temperature and oil pressure gauges. To the right of the speedometer are the fuel gauge and voltmeter.
All the major controls are clustered around the steering wheel column to make them easy to reach.
Additional features unique to the NSX-T include a dash light alerting the driver in the event the roof panel isn't fully latched and a locking mechanism for the roof panel storage compartment.
The windshield header of the NSX-T has a special aerodynamic design that directs the airstream up and over the passenger compartment to minimize wind buffeting at speed. It's also equipped with smaller sun visors to enhance visibility.
The NSX also uses special, highly efficient heat-absorbing green glass to help keep the effects of solar loading on interior temperatures at a minimum in hot weather.
The NSX is equipped with driver's and passenger's Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) air bags which are intended to supplement the seat belts. In conjunction with these, the NSX features automatic seat belt tensioners which use the same impact sensors as the air bags. The belt tensioners are activated simultaneously with the air bags, causing each belt to retract to help restrain the occupants in the event of a severe frontal collision.
Leather was a natural choice for the seat trim material; it is hand-stitched and hand-fitted to ensure quality craftsmanship and durability. The seat facings, door inserts, steering wheel and shift knob are covered with leather.
A compact Climate Control System has been developed specifically for the NSX. This is a fully automatic system, but the automatic function can be overridden and the system can be used in a fully manual mode. The system uses the environmentally friendlier R134A refrigerant.
Bose® engineers became involved with the NSX sound system at an early stage of interior design. This 4-speaker system was designed and calibrated specifically for the unique acoustics and resonances of the NSX interior and provides the highest quality imaging and spatial dynamics for both the driver and the passenger.
The Acura/Bose® Music System speakers are precisely aimed so that the pressure wave of the speaker closest to each occupant does not overpower the pressure wave from the speaker which is farthest away. This produces a balanced sound from each speaker and the net result is true stereo performance.
The AM/FM stereo/cassette features Dolby® Noise Reduction and an FM diversity antenna system. The auto preset function will automatically lock on eight strong AM and eight strong FM stations and store them into the preset selector buttons. An optional CD changer is available.
A sophisticated alarm system is standard equipment on the NSX. If an unauthorized attempt is made to enter or start the NSX, the horn sounds, the flashers are activated and the starter system is disabled. The system automatically arms 15 seconds after the doors are locked and is disarmed when a door is unlocked with the key. The system will operate even with the removable roof panel off the car.
A special, electronically coded key prevents the car from being started, even if a mechanical duplicate of the proper key shape is used. A transponder, built into the key, signals the immobilizer control unit that the key is genuine. If the car is hot-wired, or an unauthorized key is used, it simply will not start. This system is a substantial deterrent to theft. In New Jersey, for example, insurance premiums have been reduced as much as 15% when such a system is used.
The central goal behind the design of the unique NSX assembly plant in Tochigi, Japan, is to produce the highest-quality automotive product in the world.
This plant has no automated conveyor line. Rather, each car is mounted on a dolly and pushed by hand from one workstation to the next. Each team of workers is responsible for the quality of work performed at their station. The car is not passed on to the next area until the team is satisfied that their procedures have achieved the tolerances and goals required in the specifications. Each assembly station, in effect, also functions as an inspection station.
Engine assembly is also done in a unique way to ensure the highest level of assembly quality. Contrary to typical mass production procedures, each NSX engine is assembled by an individual, highly skilled technician from start to finish. This process keeps tolerances to levels that would not be possible in a mass assembly procedure and helps assure reliability and durability.
The NSX is painted in a 23-step paint process, including an aircraft-type chromate coating designed for use with aluminum. A waterborne paint for the base coat was developed to achieve a clearer, more vivid color and a smoother surface finish.

Soil biodiversity reflects the variability among living organisms including a myriad of organisms not visible with the naked eye, such as micro-organisms (e.g. bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes) and meso-fauna (e.g. acari and springtails), as well as the more familiar macro-fauna (e.g. earthworms and termites). Plant roots can also be considered as soil organisms in view of their symbiotic relationships and interactions with other soil components. These diverse organisms interact with one another and with the various plants and animals in the ecosystem forming a complex web of biological activity. Soil organisms contribute a wide range of essential services to the sustainable function of all ecosystems. They act as the primary driving agents of nutrient cycling, regulating the dynamics of soil organic matter, soil carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emission, modifying soil physical structure and water regimes, enhancing the amount and efficiency of nutrient acquisition by the vegetation and enhancing plant health. These services are not only essential to the functioning of natural ecosystems but constitute an important resource for the sustainable management of agricultural systems.
FAO and soil biodiversity A series of activities on soil biological management and soil biodiversity were initiated by FAO in 2000 through the Netherlands-supported programme on agricultural biodiversity. The aims are: firstly, to increase awareness among the range of stakeholders of soil as a living entity and the importance of soil biodiversity for agricultural systems; and secondly, to catalyse the adoption of improved management practices and production systems to enhance soil biodiversity and its biological activity. The Conference of Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) at its 6th meeting in Nairobi April 2002 decided (COP decision VI/5, paragraph 13) "to establish an International Initiative for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Soil Biodiversity as a cross-cutting initiative within the programme of work on agricultural biodiversity, and invites the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and other relevant organizations, to facilitate and coordinate this initiative".

Description: Vinko Bresan directed this Croatian comedy-drama, scripted by his father Ivo Bresan, about events at a Yugoslav army outpost on an Adriatic island at the time Croatia declares independence. To expedite the exit of the Serb-led army, locals set up a stage to harass the camp's commander Aleksa (Ljubomir Kerekes), who won't budge without a Belgrade directive. Instead, he threatens to blow up everyone by setting off the ammo dump. When art history prof Blaz Gajski (Vlatko Dulic) fails to retrieve his son from the camp, a local deserter loans him a uniform, enabling him to pose as a general. Shown at the 1998 Seattle Film Festival.~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

Ban Urges Focus on Green Growth and the Millennium Development Goals Ahead of G20 Summit22/
22 June 2010 - The United Nations is calling on leaders of the biggest industrialized and developing nations to focus on green growth, sustainable development and the needs of the most vulnerable, in devising economic recovery strategies.In a letter addressed to leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, pushed for support for the Millennium Development Goals. "I encourage support for initiatives that will sustain recovery efforts while enhancing global economic stability, environmental sustainability and achievement of the MDGs," he stressed.Leaders of the G20 nations will be meeting in Toronto, Canada, on 26-27 June, with a second summit planned in Seoul, Republic of Korea, in November.The Toronto gathering will immediately follow the annual summit of the Group of Eight (G8) leading economic powers - Canada, France, United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, and Italy - hosted by Canada in Huntsville, Ontario, on 25 June.In his letter, the Secretary-General noted that high unemployment, rising food and commodity prices, and persistent inequalities have contributed to a substantial rise in hunger, poverty and associated social tensions."Now, more than ever, investments for the world's poorest are necessary to recover lost ground in pursuit of development objectives, including the Millennium Development Goals," he added.The Secretary-General pointed out that economic recovery is proceeding at varied speeds across the world, and is still fragile in most countries. As such, a one-size-fits-all approach will not work. He did, however, note certain factors which should underpin global efforts."Based on our collective experience, the best way to enhance the framework for strong, sustainable and balanced economic growth is to put development front and centre, and to invest in a green economic recovery for all."I therefore welcome the G20 intention to broaden its focus to include development in the coming months and at the Seoul Summit in November 2010. Such an approach can help address food security and climate change, while ensuring job creation," he said.Mr. Ban also called on governments to be accountable to those hardest hit by the crisis, especially women who are the "social cement" holding families and communities together, and be accountable for promises already made, such as doubling development aid to Africa.Robert Orr, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Planning, told a news conference in New York that the message the Secretary-General will be carrying to Toronto is that any recovery will need to be built from the ground up, and that the leaders must work to ensure growth that is inclusive, Green and based on healthy populations.On Wednesday, Mr. Ban will launch the MDG Report 2010, which focuses on progress and gaps and which provides a snapshot of where the world stands in terms of achieving the Goals.Based on development models that have worked in 50 countries, the report found that models that focus attention on the poor while expanding job opportunities, increased government spending on social services and aid flows from affluent nations are all successful strategies for alleviating global poverty.

Show Your City: young MCFC fans recreate golden moments by Aaron› 12 Jul 2012
One of the most imaginative
entries to our Show Your City competition, Will Clothier is a deserving winner
of Umbro and Manchester City's challenge to reveal the club's new football kits
in an interesting and exciting way. Will had the idea to recreate classic moments
from City's Premier League title winning season in their back garden, producing
a lo-fi spin on some of the most exciting moments on the pitch in recent
memory. Umbro and City sent a top film crew to see the budding directors to
capture their great idea, whilst maintaining the DIY spirit of their original.
Check out the video above to see Will and his friends in action, and to also hear them chat about their support for the club and the excitement they feel about the forthcoming season. If you haven't seen them already, check out the other winning entries to the Show Your City competition here on the Umbro website now, where you can also pre-order the club's new home and away kits for the 2012/13 season.

Just wonderful
"I never heard of this brand, and was hesitant because I have plantars faciitis in both feet, but these are like slippers. They fit, have a firm hold, and don't slip, they are lightweight too. There is a slight roll to the bottoms, but it feels good once you get used to it."

Ski Resorts
- Furano
- Hakuba
- Shiga Kogen
Furano Travel Guide
Furano Ski Area © wakimasa
Furano is the most famous of all the ski resorts in Japan; however, it is still relatively undiscovered by foreign tourists. Furano is known for its light, powdery snow, of which up to 29 feet (9m) falls each year, and equally for its amazing weather, with more sunny days than any other resort on Hokkaido.
The Furano Ski Area is divided into two areas: the Kitanomine zone, open from mid-December to late March; and the Furano zone open from late November to early May. Both areas have a range of accommodation, restaurants, and après ski options, and are just minutes away from the town of Furano by shuttle.
The town of Furano offers many cultural attractions, including ancient shrines and temples along with theatres, spas, shopping markets and locally-produced cheese, wine and ice milk. Visitors should be sure to catch a performance of the Furano Traditional Chinese Lion Dance at the Furano City Lifelong Learning Center.
The slopes in the Furano Ski Area offer good skiing opportunities for all levels: 20 percent of the area is rated advanced, 40 percent intermediate, and 40 percent (mainly around the base of the mountains) for beginners. Night skiing is available until 9pm. There is a well-serviced lift system that extends as far as 1.8 miles (3km) up the slopes in the Kitanomine zone. Furano has two ski schools with an international booking centre.
Furano is comprised of several small farming towns around a municipal centre. The region is known for its picturesque lavender fields and vineyards as well as for its powdery snow, and visitors can enjoy an array of locally-produced goods like wine, carrot juice and cheese. There are a number of hotel shops and grocery stores selling this produce but the best place to go shopping for souvenirs in Furano is Ningle Terrace where you can find a charming collection of craft shops in small log huts. Here you will find local artists, glass makers and jewellery crafters.
There is a wide variety of eating out options in Furano, with a few restaurants a short stumble from the slopes and many different restaurants in town. There are plenty of great sushi restaurants, many eateries selling simple international staples, French, Italian and Chinese restaurants, and a number of pubs and karaoke bars to keep holidaymakers entertained.
Although there is not much of a clubbing scene Furano has plenty of bars and pubs as well as more than a hundred restaurants and visitors won't struggle to find a fun spot for some night-time revelry. The Furano Tourism Association is very proactive and organise a number of interesting cultural events, like traditional Japanese music performances, which are usually free of charge and allow tourists to interact with locals and enjoy Japanese culture. There are also theatres and art galleries to be investigated.
Visitors can enjoy a number of fun outdoor activities at Furano including snowmobiling, snow rafting, hot air balloon rides, cross country skiing and sledding. There are also many tourist attractions in the city; a popular rainy day activity is a tour of the local cheese and wine factory where you can help make (and sample!) cheese, ice-cream and butter. The resort is also bordered by Hokkaido's incredible Daisetsu-zan National Park which is a wonderfully scenic area for tourists to explore.
There have been some complaints about groups of foreigners becoming too rowdy on the slopes.

"The green is a very rich green --they may look slightly costume-y (I call them my leprechaun shoes), but are still super cute. If you have bunions like I do, they are very slightly tight, but I'm sure they would fit fine on normal feet. Seem comfortable enough though I haven't done a ton of walking in them yet."

Cute shoes
"I love the shoes."

Mis-sized or else run really short
"These shoes are cute and look like they would be comfortable. I just could not really rate how comfortable they are in reality because they run so short, I could not tell how they would feel if they fit. I usually fit either an 8.5 or a 9. These say they are a size 9 which I ordered. But, my toes are jammed into them. They have rounded toes. So, perhaps they thought folks wouldn't need as much room as with pointy toed shoes. But, I see they are incredibly shorter than the pointy toed size 9 shoes I ordered with them. My husband thought they were accidentally mis-sized. I don't know if it makes any difference, but for a size 8.5 to 9, I do have relatively longer toes than average."

Gorgeous Shoes but Sadly a Strange Fit
"I loved these shoes online, and received them at home and thought they were gorgeous in person. After reading previous reviews that they ran small, I ordered an 8 (I am normally a 7.5). They just didn't fit well - even with the larger 8. I toyed with keeping them, because I really did love them, but decided I didn't want to be uncomfortable. I wish they fit better!"
