We are thrilled to have just been designated a National Geographic Dive Resort. This designation is in conjunction with our PADI Five-Star Resort Designation.
Galapagos' Only National Geographic Dive Resort
This designation highlights our uniqueness in the Galapagos. We are already the top producer of PADI certifications (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) in the Galapagos Islands. We are building the largest dive training center in the country. When complete later this year, it will also be one of the largest dive training centers in all of South America.
To receive this designation, our instructors have received special certification credentials to offer the National Geographic classes. We also have established special professional liability insurance to be qualified to teach the National Geographic Courses.
The National Geographic rating is another way that Red Mangrove Galapagos Lodges can help educate the visitors to the Galapagos Islands about the flora and fauna unique to the islands and make their visit that much more meaningful and educational.
The National Geographic rating goes hand in hand with our commitment to sustainable tourism and providing a more informative visit to the islands combining both land and diving tours so our guests get the very best possible Galapagos experience.
Our Hyperbaric chamber has arrived and is slated for instalation and training to commence in the 3rd week of August. This is only the second chamber in the islands. Also, our new Nitrox Gas system has arrived also to be installed 3rd week of August. We are currently the only dive center in Galapagos with a state of the art Membrane Nitrox Maker.
From PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors):
The PADI National Geographic Dive Center Award is granted on an annual basis to progressive PADI Five Star Dive Centers and 5 Star Dive Resorts that excel in providing dive consumers with a full range of National Geographic diver education programs while actively promoting the benefits of environmental awareness and responsibility. A PADI National Geographic Dive Center's appearance and customer and customer service performance is representative of the National Geographic brand.

Posted on 01/27/2009 11:24:38 AM PST by lewisglad
Obama Begs Waxman to Yank Birth Control from Stimulus By Lindsay Beyerstein 1/27/09 9:33 AM President Barack Obama has signaled he will not go to bat for birth control in the economic stimulus bill a move likely to set off a firestorm among powerful forces in the Democratic Party.
Obama has asked House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) to strip a plan to extend birth control coverage under Medicaid from the stimulus package, the Associated Press reports. The plea comes as Obama courts Republican support for the $825 billion package, for which he wants to see strong bi-partisan backing.
Republicans are up-in-arms over the family planning provision, calling it a wasteful giveaway that will not stimulate the economy. They claim it is an attempt by Democrats to push through their expansion of health care agenda via an unrelated bill. Looking for an overwhelming victory out of the gates, Obama has tried to placate such GOPers by stripping provisions he would otherwise support like bankruptcy reform, or in this case expanded health care coverage to produce a bill Republicans will vote for en-masse.
Democrats argue the proposal is a smart fit for the plan to infuse Medicaid with $87 billion in federal money to shore up reeling state programs. The proposal could create health care jobs and thus offer the economy a boost, perhaps even faster than infrastructure spending. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says it is a money-saver in the long-term.
If Democrats concede to Republicans on the issue, which appears likely according to the AP, many Democratic powerhouses, like Planned Parenthood which endorsed Obama will feel betrayed. Womens advocates and health groups lobbied aggressively to convince the White House and Congress to include money for expanded birth control coverage in the stimulus bill. The groups had early success last week when the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved a version of the stimulus bill that included such language.
The final decision on the fate of the birth control provision is expected Wednesday. Though health-care advocates might be angry with Obama over his decision, the issue is not over for good
It would be better to get the funding kept in the "stimulus package" in order to scuttle whatever corrupt bargain they've made.
how about stopping billions being funneled to ACORN.
200 million for the update of the national mall
we need to have a system on here where we get alert e-mails on a day targeting certain senators and when we receive those e-mails we bombard them.
40 calls to the local senator isn't going to do much but if 400 off here did it and then this was timed with all conservative talk show hosts then those senators would have to take notice.
We don't even have to target just republicans we can target red dog Dems and Dems coming up to re-election.
Jim , Moderators is this possible to set up and would other be willing to sign up up for these e-mails alerts?
abortions will save the economy... why isn't the media pillorying Nancy Pelosi for that??? Oh, she is a D. right.
Some people talk about the need for a 3rd party. Seems excessive to me. I'd settle for a 2nd party.
That Waxman, he's always got something up his nose....
Since they've been making such a big deal out of this in the press for the last few days, I have to believe that this is a phony PR stunt by the democrats to demonstrate BO's 'bi-partisanship'. Peanuts inflated to look like something important.
This money for birth control does NOT include the Mexico City/ international money to go for international abortions, is that correct?
That's an additional amount for OTHERS to procreate fecklessly.
How Presidential! For a third world country dictator.
Did they really put "yank" and "birth control" in the same headline?
We don't need 'birth control' in the stimulus. All they need to do is put a picture of Waxman in every bedroom across America.
Understand what the real target of all leftist policy is:
dissolution of the nuclear family.
TS. That's the reward for pitting people against each other as groups. The real politics of division is the democrat staple of group rights.
Someone has to stand up and declare that not one penny will go to ACORN.
They are not "community organizers". They are community rabble rousers, and they intentionally are registering illegals to vote.
Your precious right to vote as a legal citizen is being eroded and usurped by ACORN.
They are truly a wolf in sheep's clothing......
NObama and his ilk have placed $4.l9 billion into this "stimulus" plan for ACORN.
What a sick joke.
A President begging, my my my, how unpresidential.
ref ACORN
pay time for their fraudulent votes.
Remember the little spokeswomen speaking and saying how they will get obama elected and he will look after us.
This is all going to clockwork for him and his radical friends and there is no opposition because we are not organised
Peggy the Moocher.
I'm taking her lead.
I want to know where to send my gas receipts for reimbursement.
I've already cancelled all future mortgage payments. I figure my lender knows to send the bill to 0bama.
Damn....you beat me to it!
If Obama is backing away from this provision wait until he sees the firestorm unleashed by the Freedom of Choice Act.
Call all the GOP senators and ask them to filibuster the bill. Here is my message to them, please send a similar message and/or call them at 202-224-3121.
Republicans need to FILIBUSTER the big-Government boondoggle monstrosity the Democrats and Obama are planning. Any Republican who looks at this is appalled: - billions in wasteful Government spending that has nothing to do with growing the economy but is 100% about growing the Government at the expense of our fiscal security and private economy.
Without a principled conservative opposition to the already excessive liberalism of Obama and the Democrats, the Republicans will have no credibility in 2010. Now is the time to take a stand and filibuster this bad bill.
There are specific demands that must be made:
#1 - filibuster against any spending that occurs after this fiscal year, and insist spending be done later in appropriations for next year; 100% of spending should be focussed SOLELY on this year and out-year spending should be in followup appropriations as conditions warrant. Why tie the USA to trillion dollar debt now for spending that will occur well after the recession is over?
#2 - no spending unless all tax laws are extended until 2013; in short, by raising taxes in 2010, the Democrats are cutting the economy off at the knees; they are killing, not stimulating, the economy; filibuster any bill that does not include delaying the increase in taxes.
#3 - No money for ACORN, for Planned Parenthood, for general pet projects that simply add to Government spending; filibuster any bill that has offensive, wasteful, non-stimulus spending; filibuster any bill that has pork and earmarks.
#4 - Filibuster any bill that is not at least 50% tax rate reductions, ie, real tax cuts; only tax rate reductions and/or direct tax cuts, such as allowing 100% expensing in 2009 of depreciable expenses, would incentivize the private sector.
Obama and the Democrats are perpetrating a hoax on the American people with their bad bill, and I am counting on GOP Senators to lead the fight to expose it.
peggy the moocher
No tax paying now, no bills to pay and he'll put gas in my car
I'll think I'll go and find that video now
Yeah, if we go by the example of the party in the lead now,
we don't have to pay all of our taxes,
pay our mortgages,
or pay for gasoline.
If the GOP can't get substantial concessions like a massive corporate tax cut, then they ought to oppose the whole thing. Let the 'Rats take the spotlight when it passes and the blame when it fails.
This bill is packed with all the pork and agenda items that it possibly can be, and this provision is nothing more than a negotiating point. It is something that can easily be removed to make O and the rest of them look warm and fuzzy and fool the sheep.
LOL! Good one - and so true (that's the not-funny part).
I did get a kick out of just the title of the article. Obama "begs" Waxman. The only hope of avoiding total destruction here may be for all the DemLeftSocialists to tear each others' throats out.
I still think Waxman was the result of a tryst between a cabbage patch doll and a Mr. Potato.
She said it killed her to do it, but she just stopped paying it. Once the mortgage was 90 days overdue, Fed Ex knocked on her door with a re-fi package. No questions asked.
I kid you not.
Our society has become so much oriented toward
rewarding irresponsibility
punishing responsibility
that I'm not sure we can pull back from this "over the cliff" ride we're on.
It's the distraction dejour.
He just announced minutes ago his "Operation Reservoir Tip". He's asking all his listeners to mail a condom to Nancy Pelosi. He has an artist's graphic of Nancy trapped inside a condom on his website.
Then he mentioned Free Republic. He said Freepers are good at activism and asked "all Freepers" to participate in his mass mailing to Pelosi.
I dunno about this particular activity, but I did want to mention that he spoke well of FR on his show. He's syndicated and his show is widespread.
I can't really blame her though. They're handing out "free" money, why be the one stuck holding the bag? Since property values have dropped off the cliff here in AZ, a lot of us who have no problems paying our mortgages are now headed for trouble because our mortgage loan/property value ratio is upside down. We just made the mistake of buying at the wrong time.
One of the few people I know who could actually sneeze his brains out.
Oh, I don't "blame her".
I blame the evil bastids that have re-formed our culture, society, and public policy such that the reward/punish incentive system has been turned on its head.
And they did it on purpose.
I you sure he hasn't already? If he weren't such a detriment to our country I'd feel sorry for him. Can you imagine getting up every morning and looking at that in the mirror? Gotta be depressing.
The next step is to say, "There are too many old people and their health care is draining the treasury. Do not resuscitate. Do not give them health care." When they start dying off like flies, Obama's government doesn't have to spend on them, either. If we give them control over health care, they could do this very easily.
When killing off the unborn and the elderly/infirm doesn't save enough money, then it's time for the real extermination programs to kick in. Causing economic collapse that would affect the food supplies and heating/coal supplies would be very effective ways of getting rid of large chunks of population. Just look at how those techniques of freezing and starvation worked for old Joe Stalin.
If they still need "population control" after all that, then they'll put the "work camps" into play.
It reminds me of an exhibit I saw at the Holocaust Museum in DC - an exhibit on the Jewish Ghettos in Poland. At one point, their mayor (who was just a Nazi puppet) came into the Ghetto and actually made a speech proposing that the people give up the children too young to work and the seniors too old to work. To "give them up" meaning to have them voluntarily exterminated. It was all in the name of solving the economic crisis.
Can you imagine a leader going to his people and proposing this? Well it really happened.
Part of me thinks I'm being hyper-reactive. The other part of me thinks - I can't believe Pelosi has proposed this in the name of government and the American people should be really, really concerned about it.
Good for you, this is exactly what is needed and now!!!

They would welcome texts with deals and location-based offers, Responsys finds.
Bill Siwicki
40% of more than 1,000 U.S. consumers who have opted in to receive e-mails from retailers are also interested in receiving communications from retailers via text message during the holiday season, finds a new survey from e-mail, text message, social and display ad marketing services provider Responsys Inc.
These consumers are interested in a variety of text message content, according to the survey, including:
Younger adults (18-29 years old) are most interested in receiving location-based promotions via text message (64%); however, consumers ages 30-39 and 40-54 were not far behind (50% and 42%, respectively), reflecting the growing adoption of mobile technology across generations, Responsys says.
"The mobile phone is an incredibly personal device, so while the opportunities for mobile marketing are immense, it's critical that marketers take the time to design great permission-based mobile experiences that complement campaigns in other channels," says Michael Della Penna, senior vice president of emerging channels at Responsys. "Long-term success in the mobile channel requires a deep understanding of customer needs and interests as well as the ability to coordinate mobile with the other key digital channels of e-mail, social and display."
The holiday season is a great time for marketers to experiment with mobile as part of their integrated cross-channel marketing strategy because consumers are traveling, out shopping, and on high alert for discounts and offers from their favorite retailers, Della Penna adds.
"For example, offering information about an invite-only discount or a reminder that gift-wrapped packages are ready for pickup are effective ways to engage customers who have opted-in to receive mobile messages from your brand," he says.

A manga by the ever-so-talented Ai Yazawa.
Nana Osaki is a punk singer who wants to debut as soon as possible to leave her ex-boyfriend, Ren Honjo, behind. Nana was the lead vocalist in their old band with Ren, and they lived together as lovers. When Ren was offered a chance to debut in Tokyo as a replacement member of the popular band TRAPNEST, Nana chooses to cultivate her own band, BLACK STONES (BLAST for short) instead.
Nana Komatsu, the other Nana, is called Hachi as she has strong mental characteristics that resemble a little puppy. (Hachiko/Hachi is her nickname) With a habit of falling in love at first sight, Hachi has always depended on other people to help her. When her friends and then boyfriend leave for Tokyo, she decide to join them a year later after she saved enough money.
Nana and Hachi meet in a train by chance, both on their way to Tokyo, and after a string of coincidences, they come to live together in an apartment numbered 707. Despite having contrasting characters and ideals, the Nanas like and respect each other.
While the BLACK STONES begin to gain popularity at live gigs, other issues need resolving, especially in the areas of romance. The story of Nana revolves heavily on the romance and relationships of the two characters as one seeks fame and recognition while the other seeks love and happiness.
Each chapter you read, the more you grow to love NANA. The characters are very deep and seem very real. Some parts will make you cry while others will make you jump for joy! Later on(in volume 8), NANA takes a plot twist you wouldn't have expected coming.
The art in NANA is very unique. You can just look at the art and feel the emotions of the characters without having to read the story. Plus, I find the designs for the characters' clothes very fashionable.
This is a series that you just don't wanna miss.....It's one of the best series out there!

Clean. Raw. Pesto!
We're getting so close to our departure now I can taste it. The house is swept and cleaned, boxes and bags are packed. Anticipation is hanging in the desert air. You can almost hold it in your cupped open hands. The hardest part will be trying to sleep Saturday night. I told Steve, If it's 3 AM and we're lying side by side in the dark listening to the whir of the ceiling fan, just waiting, can we get up and go?
Why not? he responded.
This earned him some extra bonus points.
Not that he needs any. His bonus point status is pretty high to begin with these days. We've had an exciting week. I'm so proud of him. His first script sale, an independent movie titled The Canyon just released its first trailer. If you'd like to catch a sneak peek at the movie, see The Canyon trailer here. You'll see why I fell in love with Yvonne Strahovski and Will Patton when we visited the set.
So what does all this California dreamin' taste like? I decided it tastes like basil and mint with a bite of parsley.
Green. Earthy. Alive.
Basil Mint Parsley Raw "Pesto" Sauce Recipe
Posted June 2009.
This garden fresh sauce is so light and delicate, unburdened by cheese or nuts. It tastes herbal and green. Like summer in Santa Monica.
1 cup washed, loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley
2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled
1/4 to 1/2 cup good tasting cold pressed extra virgin olive oil, as needed
Sea salt, to taste
Combine the basil, mint, parsley and garlic in a food processor bowl; pulse and process the mixture until it is chopped very fine.
Slowly add extra virgin olive oil in a steady drizzle as you pulse the processor on and off. Process until it becomes a smooth, light paste. Add enough olive oil to keep it moist and spreadable. Season with sea salt, to taste.
Cover tightly and store chilled for at least an hour to saturate the flavors. If storing overnight I pour a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil over the top of the pesto to help keep it bright green.
Makes roughly a rounded cup.
Spread it around:
Serve on cooked brown rice or quinoa spaghetti- or other GF pasta shapes.
Toss it with raw zucchini "pasta".
Thin it with extra virgin olive oil and your favorite vinegar to create a pesto salad dressing.
Spread on crackers, warm g-free Herbed Flatbread, or a pizza crust.
Use in a summer vegetable gratin dish, such as my Pesto Zucchini Tomato Gratin.
Toss fresh grilled veggies in pesto and serve on toasted bread.
Use it instead of butter on fresh corn on the cob.
Spoon it on cooked wild salmon, chicken breasts or grilled veggie burgers.
Use it in quesadillas, burritos, and grilled sandwiches.

Duvall played the title role in the film version of Conroy's book. Now Conroy has written his memoir, "The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son."
NEW YORK — Author Pat Conroy loved the 1979 film version of his novel, The Great Santini, starring Robert Duvall as an abusive, larger-than-life Marine fighter pilot based on Conroy's father.
Now, Conroy has an audacious movie idea for his memoir, The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and His Son (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, on sale Tuesday).
He's offering "for free" the memoir's film rights to Duvall, 82, and his three co-stars. All they have to do is reprise their roles in a non-fiction sequel about what Conroy calls "this ridiculous family I was born into."
STORY: Pat Conroy memoir revisits his dad, 'the Great Santini'
On a visit to New York, Conroy, 67, who lives in Beaufort, S.C., says he has sent his idea and memoir to Duvall, Blythe Danner (who played the character based on Conroy's mom), Michael O'Keefe (who played the son, based on the author himself) and Lisa Jane Persky (who played the boy's sister).
None have responded yet. It's the latest autobiographical twist from Conroy who's "been writing the story of my own life for over 40 years" in novels and non-fiction. If Duvall and the others join him, Conroy says he'll gladly write the screenplay for free or at union scale.
He's best known for his 1986 novel on depression and suicide, The Prince of Tides. (Conroy co-wrote the screenplay with Barbra Streisand, the film's star and director.)
Conroy says his dad, who nicknamed himself after a trapeze star and died in 1998 at 77, would hate his son's new memoir.
"He hated the novel, but loved that Duvall played him in the movie. He took full credit for Duvall's career."

The Sub for Santa was a huge success this year, with 190 angels from 70 families being helped for Christmas. The outpouring of the community was said to be overwhelming.
Generous contributions from Circle of Hope, United Way, San Rafael Junior High, Utah Power and Light and Utah Power and Light Employee's Credit Union were indeed appreciated and greatly needed. Also, all of the community who helped by donating, sorting gifts, by doing some of the shopping and the commissioners for the use of their room. It couldn't have been done without the support of this community.
Some of the families were said to be in tears when they saw the generous gifts that were given in behalf of their children.

9 of the Most Notorious Party Crashers
Google glasses are light, nicely balanced, and nearly invisible—to the wearer, at least. If you make them part of your outfit, as we did for the past two evenings, you could almost forget you have them on except for one thing: nearly everyone you meet when you're out on the town asks "Are those the Google glasses?"
At Town & Country, black-tie events are a regular occurrence. We track them in our monthly Social Calendar, report on the fashion trends we spot, and cover parties using a technology that our correspondents have favored since 1846: by attending them in person ourselves.
This week, we decided to bring a little bit of flair to these traditionally buttoned-up occasions by wearing Google Glass. The device, a wearable computer with a tiny screen that sits just above the right eye, is still in development but earlier this year Google launched its Explorer Program, making 10,000 prototypes available to early adopters. Hearst has three of them, and we got our hands on two for the week.
On Wednesday night, we went to the Four Seasons restaurant for a Fall Party hosted by Memorial-Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Associates Committee and Carolina Herrera. As soon as we arrived, one of the event's publicists asked if he could try them on and if we could take his picture wearing them (an exchange that would be repeated about 50 more times that night).
Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, one of the event chairs, told us about an ex-boyfriend who would love the technology: "He once said, 'I wish I had a camera in my eye — I could take the best pictures of you.' So it fulfills that purpose, if you wish you had a camera in your eye." We obliged and took a picture on the spot, but have yet to hear from any of Mrs. Lonstein Gruss's exes.
At the table, we took the Glass off to introduce ourselves to dinner partners--it seemed like the right thing to do, akin to taking off your Ray-Bans when you meet someone on a sunny day--and again between the appetizer and the main course when both of us began to feel a little bit dizzy. This provided the perfect opportunity to pass the tech specs around and let the whole table try them on. There were pictures taken and shared through Twitter and Google +, several times by accident, and one attendee took the opportunity to Google how many calories there are in cotton candy (a heaping mound of which was served for dessert).
A fraternity brother of Sam's, a few feet behind in line going into the Pool Room for dinner, overheard comments through the night that progressed in typical New York Alpha style from jealous and curious to unverifiable one-upsmanship; early onlookers wondered, "What are they wearing?" and "Are they recording everything?"--inquiries that gave way to "I got to try them on" and "Not only did I try them on—I took a picture and a video."
Last night, at the Apollo Circle Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the crowd was younger and less restrained in its approach toward the Glass. "Can you see through my dress?" one brunette in a tight red gown asked. Another female attendee, an appreciative fan of the champagne being offered her, grabbed them off Sam's head as midnight approached. The device was swiftly recovered. And one male who mistook Micaela for a Google intern asked, "Is this how Google hazes their interns, making them wear the Glass to a fancy party?"
Will Google Glass change the world? It's hard to say right now, and one slightly cumbersome aspect we noticed is that it requires users to connect through WiFi or a tethered 3G or 4G mobile phone—data isn't built in at this point. But as a conversation starter at a party, Google Glass can't be beat. Although one warning to publicity shy: if you're wearing a pair, you're guaranteed a photographer from Billy Farrell Agency will take your photo--just before he asks to try it on himself.

Callebaut® creates a Belgian chocolate experience at Tomorrowland
• Callebaut® and the Callebaut Ambassadors create the Planet
Plantation dessert "for the people of tomorrow"
• Unique "Plant your cocoa tree" initiative during the festival
• Finest Belgian Chocolate surprises for VIP and Global Journey visitors
You won't be able to miss it at the upcoming Tomorrowland: a
world-renowned Belgian festival teaming up with another Belgian
icon, namely Callebaut Finest Belgian Chocolate. For its catering
partners Tomorrowland seeks out those who control the product all
the way "from farm to fork." Partners who are closely involved in
the sustainable cultivation of their ingredients and put all their
passion in making them into a delightful product. Partners also who
embrace their 'Made in Belgium' mark with pride all over the world.
That's how Tomorrowland got together with Callebaut chocolate. With its "Growing Great Chocolate" programme two years ago Callebaut opted resolutely to fully support sustainably grown cocoa with every of its Finest Belgian Chocolate recipes. Furthermore Callebaut is one of the few chocolate manufacturers to blend, roast and grind the beans entirely in Belgium: "Made in Belgium" from bean to chocolate. The perfect partner for Tomorrowland!
The Planet Plantation Dessert
In tribute to sustainable cocoa and to the cocoa plantations in
Brazil, Callebaut Chef Patrick Aubrion and Callebaut Ambassador
Annemie Van Trimpont have created the Planet Plantation dessert. A
wonderfully refreshing summer dessert for "the people of tomorrow."
And it's an eye-catcher: the dessert looks like a miniature cocoa
plantation, with a young seedling growing in a tasty mound of peat.
A fresh crémeux of passion fruit and bergamot is enriched with a
mousse of Callebaut chocolate and a crocant crumble of cocoa and
chocolate. A young fresh shoot of East Indian Cress – grown by Le
Monde des Mille Couleurs (Dikkebus – Ieper) on a bed of bio-earth
and cocoa beans – is planted in the dessert, giving it a very
surprising touch. Finally the young plant is "watered" with fresh
apple and cucumber juice.
Planet Plantation is served for the price of 3 Food & Drink tickets in the Callebaut Belgian Chocolate Experience on the festival site, an "experience stand" where Callebaut tells the story from bean to chocolate.
Plant your own cocoa tree
"Wouldn't it be great if the People of Tomorrow could also personally contribute to the great cocoa of tomorrow", Callebaut was thinking. That's how the Belgian chocolate maker gives all visitors to Tomorrowland the chance to plant their own cocoa tree in the Ouro Verde plantation in Brazil. In addition to the contribution by the visitors (1 Food & Drink ticket) Callebaut will provide the extras needed for each cocoa tree that is planted, nurturing it during the first three years until it is fully grown and can start to bear fruit.
Ouro Verde: where the ocean meets the clouds
At Ouro Verde in Bahia, wonderful cocoa is grown by a
cooperative of several hundred farmers. The plantations are located
in an area of extensive jungle including protected "virgin forest"
boasting the richest fauna and flora in the world. The Ouro Verde
plantation workers care for the biodiversity in the area, and also
plant new forest, having already replanted whole parts of the
former Atlantic forest. With this initiative Callebaut seeks to
thank the cocoa growers for their efforts, while Tomorrowland
visitors for their part can contribute to the cocoa of tomorrow.
Extra treat: two lucky Tomorrowland visitors will be able to win a trip to Brazil, to visit the plantation and explore the whole Bahia region!
Finest Belgian Chocolate surprises
In addition to the Planet Plantation desserts, the Callebaut chefs have other surprises in store for you. A yummy ballotin with Callebaut pralines for the Global Journey visitors. A little jute bag with chocolate almond dragees for VIP visitors. And thousands of chocolate napolitains to spoil the guests in the lodges and other Tomorrowland spots.

By 1950 Porsche had designed and developed two of their most iconic vehicles; the 356 Speedster and the 550 Spyder. Both vehicles were two-seat sports cars featuring powerful engines and high performance engines. This excellence in production led Porsche to become a leader on the racetrack. Eventually by the mid-1960s the 356 was discontinued to make room for the 911.
The 1970s feature a slew of new porches for buyers to choose from, including the 911 turbo and Porsche 914 – which was designed as a more affordable Porsche. Innovation continued into the 1980s when Porsche introduced the twin-turbo 959; a powerful street car which boasted the ability to reach nearly 200 MPH.
By the end of the 1990s Porsche was faltering financially. Luckily, the introduction of the popular Porsche Boxter, which captured the essence of the 550 Spyder, helped return Porsche to the limelight. Then in 2003 Porsche introduced the Cayenne, their first foray into the SUV market. Despite reservations, the Cayenne drew rave reviews for its excellence performance and raw power.
Porsche offers a surprisingly broad assortment of vehicles to choose from. The 911 Coupe remains extremely popular, while the Cayenne offers a robust 400 HP model to accommodate the 3.6 liter diesel engine. The Boxter has become an increasingly popular vehicle for those seeking more affordable performance. Not to be left behind, Porsche offers several models in hybrid form – including the Panamera Hybrid. The Panamera has quickly become Porsche's most popular model with annual sales surpassing that of the popular 911.

The Alpine (or Highland) Copperhead, Austrelaps ramsayi, is variable in colour and pattern, ranging from pale brown to black, always with prominent white edging on the scales of the upper lip. It has 15 mid-body scale rows, a single anal scale and single subcaudal scales. Adults grow to about 1m long.
Alpine Copperhead (black form)Photographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
This snake prefers reasonably damp habitats, near streams or swampy areas. It is common in the higher altitudes throughout eastern Victoria.
This snake is active both day and night and feeds on small vertebrates, including frogs, lizards and small mammals. Females give birth to up to 30 live young in mid to late summer.
Alpine Copperheads are extremely dangerous and capable of inflicting fatal bites, but they are not usually aggressive and bites are uncommon.
If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continuous direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound, as the venom on the skin can be used to identify the appropriate antivenom.

FRASER, Virginia
Colour blinded exemplifies the way we work together, when we work together. Destiny thinks her thoughts and Virginia thinks hers. Neither of us recalls a time we've talked much about making work together, or discussed ideas or methods except while doing it and even then only briefly.
In this case Destiny proposed doing something with sodium lights that Virginia had used before, though not in joint works. Destiny wanted to take black-and-white photos and Virginia suggested using orthochromatic film because of the way it reads and reduces colour. Destiny dreamt up and took the photos and proposed and directed most of the scenarios for the video, which Virginia shot and edited. Destiny had the idea for the snow dome and Virginia made it work. That's the mechanics of it.
But the other things that go into it result from what we've each been separately thinking, doing and reading; our awareness of current events and our personal histories in contact with each other and anyone else we're working with; materials, media and the occasion or opportunity for making and showing work.
The empty space in the installation is as important to us as the objects in it. When anyone walks into the space they're absorbed into it and, visually at least, become part of the work, instead of getting in the way of it. It was exciting when a serious and respectable-looking older woman standing with her friend in Colour blinded in Paris clapped her hands and laughed and asked in French, 'Are we alive or dead?'Part of the point of the lights is always the same: the somewhat sinister thrill of the change they make to whatever and whoever is in their range, and the way they illustrate that how you look at things – literally the light you see them in – affects what you see.

Kiprusoff: Can less be more?
Jean Lefebvre
September 13 2009 01:10PM
Considering how much was made of the relationship between Miikka Kiprusoff and Mike Keenan (and frankly, the fuss was completely out of proportion with reality) Brent Sutter's dealings with the veteran Calgary netminder will be under scrutiny.
It was notable then that, on the eve of main camp, the new skipper made this declaration: "It's a tough league for a goaltender to play that many games in. Especially with the amount of travel that there is out in the Western Conference. I'm not using that as an excuse at all. But facts are facts. So again, we'll just monitor it and see what happens. But at this point in time, I certainly wouldn't expect him to play as many games as he has."
Sutter's remarks are interesting because the one season in New Jersey he had a No. 1 goalie at his disposal for the entire year, Martin Brodeur played 77 games, which is a lot even if the Devils don't have the same travel issues as the Flames. Also, during Sutter's final season at the helm of the Red Deer Rebels juniors, he used his starter 60 times in a 72-game schedule.
Also, there isn't that much evidence that Kiprusoff's problems have anything to do with wear and tear.
During Keenan's two years at the reins in Calgary, Kiprusoff's cumulative regular-season numbers in October and November consisted of a 3.01 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage. The corresponding figures in March and April for those two years are 2.95 and .900. Remember also that the 2008-09 Flames were beat up and playing shorthanded at the end of the season, which compounded any issues Kiprusoff was having on his own.
It just seems too convenient to explain away the late-season woes as fatigue when no satisfactory explanation can be found for Kiprusoff's declining play in other portions of the calendar.
The other part of the equation is that you need a good backup option and no recent Flames bench boss has seemed especially confident in Plan B whether the No. 2 goalie has been named McLennan, Sauve, Boucher or McElhinney. Curtis Joseph's half-season under Keenan is about the only instance of a coach having some degree of faith in the non-Finnish netminding option.
Even if the Flames take a damn-the-torpedoes approach and try to work in the backup more often while viewing any points gained in those games as gravy, what if Kiprusoff continues to post poor numbers even with a reduced workload? You'll forgive Calgary fans if they refuse to think about that possibility, especially with all the miles and dollars remaining on Kiprusoff's contract.
"what if Kiprusoff continues to post poor numbers even with a reduced workload?"
This, Mr Lefebvre is what is keeping me up at night as the season approaches. Without his mind bending workload to use an excuse what if he is just plain getting worse?
September 14 2009, 06:23AM
Good stuff, Jean. As you say, the data doesn't really support the "he's just tired" narrative. Kipper has been awful to start the season several years in a row, a time at which he should theoretically be the freshest.
This summer was probably the last chance Sutter had to try to deal Kipper if the decline continues. No one will touch the guy after this year if he posts more average-to-below average numbers, especially behind that blueline and with Brent coaching.
There's no excuses left for Kipper now.
Kent Wilson wrote:

I couldn't agree more with you both.
September 14 2009, 05:58PM
Before you dismiss the problems with Keenan, I would look at how Kiprusoff played for every other coach. He had problems with Wilson and Keenan, and performed well with Sutter and Playfair. With Sutter and Playfair, he had an average between 7 and 10 shutouts per season. With Keenan, his numbers dropped in half.
His time with Keenan and Wilson in San Jose represented pretty severe drops statistically.
So he played poorly for half his coaches and well for the other half. I don't know if that really tells us anything.
His ES SV% has dropped every single season since he came to the Flames. That's what's worrying. Another drop and he's flirting with Raycroft territory. In fact, given his contract, anything but an improvement is bad news.
I am not worried at all....we will have a renewed focus on team defence, which will keep our shots against totals down. When Kipper can see the puck he will stop it. Period. He was and still is amazing.
Ladies and Gentleman Anne Kipprusoff.
(hold for applause)
LOL kidding
And I now realize I misspelled Kipper's name.
(hold for applause)
September 15 2009, 09:56AM
I know it isn't considered statistically but I look at shut-outs as exceptional performances. You need to be on your game to perform them, much like a hat trick for a forward.
A drop in "exceptional performances" that drastic suggests the goalie is not getting in the zone to the same level he once had.
I think the assumption that Kipper lost his game co-incided with Keenan taking the Flames reigns. I guess we will see what happens during his fourth coaches tenure. That should answer that question at any rate.

SCC faculty member Karen Toreson asks a question during the all-campus meeting, Friday, March 12, 2010. More photos
Next steps
The painful process of implementing budget cuts for 2010-11 is underway at Shoreline Community College.
With the state Legislature missing its deadline and a final target uncertain, college officials on Friday, March 12, 2010 announced a plan to cut $1.65 million, falling within the hoped-for range of $1.3 million and $1.8 million.
"Based on the information we have, $1.65 million is our best estimate," said SCC President Lee Lambert. "However, we think this plan may be able to stretch to about $1.8 million. If Olympia goes beyond that, we'll have to rethink this."
In the plan announced at an all-campus meeting, Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell outlined just where the cuts will be made, including cutting 24 positions. Of those 24, 14 are either currently vacant or are anticipated for retirement. The plan identifies 10 positions in which the current employees would go through the appropriate departure procedure, based on their employment category. Of the 10, four are classified employees, four are administrative exempt and two are faculty.
All of the employees directly affected by the cuts received the news from Lambert in private meetings prior to the all-campus presentation. "I just think it's my responsibility to do that and employees have a right to hear this very difficult news from me and not in a public setting," Lambert said.
One of the bigger changes as a result of the cuts comes in the Center for Business and Continuing Education. The director position, two other currently filled positions and two vacant positions will be eliminated. Responsibility for the program will move under the Dean of Workforce Development.
"This is a very difficult move," Lambert said. CBCE is housed off-campus in the Lake Forest Park Towne Center shopping mall. Lambert said the college will be looking for ways to either better utilize or reduce the cost of that space. "I've spoken with Lake Forest Park City officials and we will be in talks with mall ownership," he said.
Vice President for Academic Affairs John Backes said that over the past three years, CBCE has been a net loss to the college on the order of $600,000 to $800,000. "This is not the fault of the staff, but we can no longer support CBCE as currently structured," he said. Backes said that the program residing in a small district and a failing economy contributed to the unfortunate status of the center.
Continuing Education is part of the state mandate for community colleges. Moving forward, Backes said SCC will look at alternatives later and will enter talks with Lake Washington Technical College about collaborating to provide continuing education programs across both college districts. Backes said that the collaboration would provide more than double what the current marketing area is. Another possibility is to go after more contract training. Some CBCE staff and programs will remain, including the Business Accelerator, a business training and consulting services program offered in partnership with the City of Shoreline and the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce.
Other organizational changes include moving the Technical Support Services department into Campbell's area from Academic Affairs. A number of shifts will come within Academic Affairs in an attempt to even the workload on the four deans.
In addition, four director positions will be collapsed into two. In one case in Academic Affairs, Adult Basic Education, English as a Second Language and Workforce duties will all go to one director. In the other instance, Enrollment Services and Financial Aid duties will be rolled into one.
While cuts are always hard, Lambert said the hiring freeze imposed by the Legislature in February made this effort particularly difficult, especially because the trend of budget cutting is expected to continue for at least the next two years, he said.
"The vice presidents spent considerable time trying to craft a plan that would look forward," Lambert said. "With state revenue predictions, it made sense to make cuts in as strategic a way as possible. The freeze made much of that impossible."
While the plan announced on March 12 is based on the information available, that information is also subject to change, Lambert said.
For starters, the Legislature missed the March 11 session-end deadline and Gov. Chris Gregoire has called a special session starting Monday, March 15. "We don't think there will be significant changes to the overall cut for higher education, but until they pass a budget, we just don't know," Lambert said.
Then, while implications of staffing reductions have been considered, individual SCC employees may make choices that change how those reductions play out under contractual rights. Also, Lambert has said that any employee directly impacted by the cuts can come to him to offer alternatives or additional information that may adjust the plan.
"We think the plan is the best compromise, but if somebody offers a better idea, or has facts that we just got wrong, of course we'd take that into consideration." Lambert said.
A number of questions were raised at the all-campus meeting, including why furloughs weren't used to reduce costs. The Legislature passed a bill allowing furloughs, along with other options, to be used in lieu of layoffs.
"We looked at furloughs," Vice President for Human Resources and Legal Affairs Stephen Smith said. "The problem is, if we use furloughs and then the Legislature mandates them, it could be a double-whammy."
Lambert added that he's very sensitive to options that reduce employees' salaries. "We have classified employees who could probably qualify for food stamps" Lambert said. "I want to be mindful of that."
Faculty member and union representative Gary Parks pointed out an apparent discrepancy in the some of the numbers shown during the meeting. In checking later, Campbell found Parks was correct.
"Due to my transcription error, the financial impact on existing faculty positions held is $142,949, not the $226,608 as shown during the meeting," Campbell said, adding that the slide available by hyperlink is now correct . "Consequently, the financial impact on vacant/retired faculty positions is $387,729, not the $329,472 that was shown.
"However, the overall reduction is the same - $1,648,603."

She has derived and tested therapies that have been used to treat thousands of cancer patients, and her recent research has potential to substantially impact the field of stem cell research, benefiting patients at Yale and around the world. Foss has brought a nationally established clinical trials program to the Yale Cancer Center. In her previous post at Tufts New England Medical Center in Boston, she designed, initiated and directed multi-center national clinical trials of two pharmacologic agents for lymphoma, which have subsequently received FDA approval and are widely used treatments. One of these, Interleukin-2 conjugated to Diphtheria toxin, was the first FDA-approved fusion biologic drug to be approved for use in the United States. She also developed a treatment for patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant that reduced the development of graft-versus-host disease from 40%-50% to only 15%. These findings led to the initiation of two National Cancer Institute-sponsored trials to confirm these results in patients with lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndrome.
Dr Foss is also a world expert in T cell Lymphomas. She has pioneered several novel therapies for T cell lymphomas and has led national studies. She has been a translational researcher in T cell Lymphomas and currently is collaborating with a number of laboratories to identify molecular targets in T cell Lymphoma.

Nice boat shoe for a summer!
"I've ordered this shoe online and at first I thought it runs too narrow that's why I've ordered size 11M (1/2 size larger - to make sure) but when my order arrived, I've tried it - then everything is fine, true to its size & I like the color. Moreso, when I've ordered it online I choose the grey one but when I've got the HAC package the color says on my receipt is black..I don't know what's the real color of it but it looks like charcoal/dark grey for me. I've almost kept it but needed to returned because I need to replace it to my shoe size of 10.5M but nothing available online on my preferred color. So sad for that! Then tried another brand in replacement of this."

The Emery County Business Chamber held a ribbon cutting for The Workout Place in Huntington on Jan. 19. The business is operated by Cheryl Cox. The business offers fitness classes including pump-weight training, Zumba and Turbokick. "We have Zumba on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 6 a.m. Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 p.m. is pump, a free weights class, and then at 7 p.m. is Turbokick. On Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7 p.m. is Zumba.
"We are looking to add more classes like yoga, if you are interested in yoga, please give me a call.
"The Turbokick class combines kick boxing and hip hop. It has some really fun music. My instructors are Melany Weaver that helps with the Turbokick and Kevin Wilson and Taylor Cox that help with the pump classes.
"Zumba is really fun. It's like a workout party. You don't even know you're exercising and pretty soon you're working up a sweat. It goes for one hour and combines Latin dances, hip hop, salsa, reggae, and many others, it's a mixture of dances.
"I've been teaching cardio kick boxing for 10 years and Zumba for two years. Getting some exercise really helps you to feel better. Fitness should be a big part of everyone's life. It will help you gain strength, stress relief, it will help you be better at everything you do. It will help you be a better mother, it releases stress fighting hormones. It's really fun to get together as a group and exercise. We all work to help each other. A big group makes it fun. You will feel better about yourself if you exercise. It's really for everyone no matter what your shape and size. I hear people say that they can't come and exercise with us until they lose weight. But, working out really does help with weight control. We will start you out slow and get you going and moving. Even if you've never worked out, it's not a problem. If you start working out and see some results, it's a really big motivator to keep moving. You will see a difference in six weeks, but some people say they can see a difference even after one week. Everyone is different. We are here to have fun and to workout. Even after you lose weight you need to work on toning your body and that's where the free weights come in to tone and sculpture.
"We also have some Saturday workouts. I will text and post what we are doing on our Facebook page, The Workout PLACE. One week we had a boot camp where we did Zumba for 30 minutes, then weights and then Turbokick. You could do all of them or just one or two.
"We are friendly to everyone and want you to give us a try. What happens at Zumba stays at Zumba you can really get into it and shake your booty and that's great, it's all for fun. It's a learning environment and we work with everyone to learn the steps. Besides, that if you are working out and burning more calories you can eat the foods you want," said Cox.
Melany Weaver is one of the instructors, "I help with the pump classes. We team teach Turbokick. Zumba is really my favorite, you get a workout without even knowing you're working out. It really doesn't feel like a workout. Turbokick is really fun. With the pump class you start with whatever feels comfortable for you. We work the arms, legs, abs, gluts and the entire body. You can start light and work up to heavier weights. Men are welcome to come and work out too."
Cox said, "The first man that comes to our Zumba class and stays the entire class will get a year's worth of free Zumba. We would like to get enough men that are interested and there is an instructor from Price that will come and teach classes for men."
So the workout freaks at The Workout Place encourage everyone to come in and give it a try. It's a good stress reliever, you will look and feel better, so what do you have to lose except maybe a few pounds. Make 2013 the year you will get in shape and be more healthy. Find your new fitness level at The Workout Place.
Cox said it's $35 a month for everything and they have a Zumba punch card you can purchase if you only want to do the Zumba.
"We are always looking for ways to improve our business, we've added mirrors to the walls and we are going to paint and we've added a new sound system. Please call us with any questions." You can reach Cheryl Cox at 749-0439 and Melany at 749-0975. The business is located in the old Huntington City office building by the town hall.

Aerobic Classes at Home
I live in a small town that is several miles from a fitness center. When a certified aerobics instructor moved into our neighborhood, some friends and I asked if she'd hold informal aerobic classes in my basement.
We agreed to pay her a small fee if she'd give our group a 1-hour workout two times a week. Being a stay-at-home mom, she was happy to meet with us and said it would give her a chance to exercise as well.
That was almost 10 years ago, and she's still giving us classes. Our group currently includes 10 women, who range in age from 65 to 75, and we're all dedicated.
I think working out with a group of friends is a wonderful incentive. I look forward to everyone visiting my home, and we all enjoy the social time together.
If you can't find an instructor who offers private lessons, consider following a fitness video together. You'll be surprised at the fun you'll have exercising.

Matthew Phillip Proffitt
Matt was born the first son of Milton "Buck" Proffitt and Ednell "Eddie" Proffitt (Housinger) on April 7, 1949, in Merced, Calif. He departed this life on Jan. 23, 2014, in Lubbock, Texas. He and his family lived in the Four Corners off and on for more than 20 years.
He is survived by his wife, Tracie Proffitt of Roswell, N.M., brother Mark Proffitt of Wilcox, Ariz., and his father Buck Proffitt of Kirkland, Ariz., He is also survived by 5 sons, 3 daughters, 6 grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family and friends, including business partner, Tim Reed of Fowler, Colo.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Eddie Proffitt of Kirkland, Ariz., his maternal and paternal grandparents, a few favorite cow ponies, and several awesome cow dogs.
A private service for immediate family will be held in Roswell, N.M. on June 21, 2014, where Matt will be returned to the elements, per his request.
Enjoy this poem written in Matt's honor:
They say the cowboy is the last of a dying breed,
How very true indeed.
In the saddle he's rode endless hours and miles,
This is a place he's comfortable.
Where he's thought over his private feelings, tribulations, and trials.
He is a man filled to the brim,
With substances unique only to him.
He is charming and filled with wit,
When he laughed his eyes alit.
He is stubborn and filled with pride,
They say there were few horses he couldn't ride.
He made mistakes,
He left many broken hearts in his wake.
But who is to know,
What he thought or felt deep in his soul.
His horsemanship was unprecedented,
But his ability to form normal family bonds were limited.
We don't know what burdens he carried or regrets he had,
Every life he entered he changed.
Be it for good or bad.
Comfortable only in his element,
but still a hell of a man in many ways,
Passing knowledge and lessons on to some
To be carried on for the rest of their days.
To sum it up, he was a old soul born way too late,
But at any rate,
We may never know what he felt inside,
All we know is this man had one hell of a wild ride.
Compliments of Cherie Kibel, Opie, Kan.

The UCLA Brain Research Institute co-ordinates a large portion of neuroscience educational programs on campus. It is home to the Interdepartmental Ph.D. Program for Neuroscience (NSIDP), with endowment support for the program. The NSIDP is one of eighteen Graduate Programs in Biosciences at UCLA. The goal of this program is to train students to be conversant in all levels of analysis used in neuroscience, from the molecular and cellular to the system levels, while specializing in their chosen field of research. Currently the Neuroscience Graduate IDP comprises approximately 90 doctoral students. On average, 15 new students enter the program every year.
Specifically, the BRI administratively supports NSIDP program leadership, recruitment, admissions, curriculum, coordinates the Achievement Rewards for College Students fellowship program, and organizes in course development, course assessment, course coordination, TA selection, student evaluation, student advising, student financial aid, mentor evaluation, faculty membership, website, publications, the annual Neuroscience Interdepartmental Ph.D. Program Retreat, and provides endowments of partial funding for first year students.
In its capacity as administrative home for the Undergraduate Neuroscience Interdepartmental Program, the BRI provides oversight of program staffing, administrative and IT support, and financial support for selected undergraduate activities. This program currently encompasses approximately 500 undergraduate neuroscience majors.
Postdoctoral research instruction is another major activity of the BRI. Over 350 postdoctoral students holding PhD, MD, DDS or DVM degress occupy BRI members' laboratories. The institute also administers and/or financially supports a number of Neuroscience Training Grants including:

It's been a few years, but I'm remembering the last time I was in a fistfight. That moment when someone's fist connects with your face is unforgettable. You look up, the knuckles are into your nose, cheek, and eye socket. The pain overwhelms your senses. The cartoons lie. You don't see stars or hear birds. It's blackness. Everything goes to a sheet of dark while hurt becomes your master.
That's how I feel today. Don't worry, things at home are great. My blues, to quote a Maid Marian, are regarding my writing.
Since the first of August, I started receiving feedback on my words. I joined a critique group and weathered the storm of good natured, constructive criticism. Then I started entering short stories contests, applied to two online magazines, and asked three people who are published authors to judge my stuff. The running total is 4 rejections and some harsh reality regarding the two stories being serialized on MY BLOG CAN BEAT UP YOUR BLOG – Robots and Helene. They need more work than I thought.
I've been writing almost every day for 10 months. On average, pencil has been on parent six days a week since mid January. Ninety percent of what I've written, you all haven't seen. That 10 percent is being punched out like a Mike Tyson opponent in the mid 1980s.
The worst blogs on the internet are the ones where people whine in Dear Diary style. You know the ones. They read like Alanis Morisette or Conor Oberst journals. Woe is me and pass the chardonnay with black fly. Guess what, sports fans, that's the category this post can fall. I have no funny. There's not a life lesson to ponder. Even the song I will post, while good, is typical of what a Dear Diarist would play. Writing those posts every once in a while is great, just not every one. So, I'll try not to make a habit of this.
I have a lot of work to do, professionally and personally. For now I'm not changing a damn thing. I am using the word damn, which shows my frustration. I might call my reviewers doodyheads but I promise I'll do that offblog. No reason to work blue.
Before I get back to work, I'm going to see my 8 year old daughter beat up little boys in judo class. I may have her punch and kick me. At least it will cease being metaphorical for me.
I just wrote 444 words on why I suck. Beat that.
Today's song is excellent. I almost used Where Is My Mind? or Debaser. They're my second and third favorite Pixies songs. This is my first. It's my blog and I'll play my Pixies if I want too. Here's Wave of Mutilation. It's how I feel. Thanks for reading, I love you all.

I still need your HELP. I have a Kohler Wellworth 1.6 toilet which had phantom flush. I installed a Kohler Red Adjustable Flapper PP23648, which is what the hardware store suggested, and thought the Phantom Flush was gone, but it is still there, just not every 5 minutes as before. There are little air bubbles all over the flapper, float, and lower chain (the parts that are under water). I did lower the float, as you recommended, so now the flapper opens longer and the flush is better (THANK YOU). But it still is doing the Phantom Flush. Is there anything I can do--any adjustments I can make--to fix it. Is there a different part that I should use (and if so, how do I know what to get?) Please bear in mind that I know nothing about plumbing and can't afford a plumber right now (since I'm unemployed). Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!

By Sarah Robinson/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Just over a year ago, near his home in Fairhope, Alabama, Rob Hudson noticed friend and artist Jim Tripp's unique sandals.
As it turns out, the sandals he wore were a piece of his art in their own right.
Tripp showed Hudson how he painstakingly made his sandals by hand and created a pair for him. Hudson said whenever he wore the shoes, people would stop him to ask, "Where'd you find those cool sandals."
Hudson contacted his friend, Tupelo resident Sean Johnson who immediately loved the simple, earthy design. Johnson soon had a pair, and the more he and Hudson wore them, the more they were convinced the design had market appeal.
The two began developing a plan to make and market the design for a larger audience. Just over a year later, with Tripp's blessing, Johnson and Hudson launched IAM Sandals.
Hudson said, "When something is right and you put your effort into it, everything seems to fall into place."
The sandals Johnson and Hudson now produce are not an exact replica of the original design Tripp made but a more user-friendly version they have tested over the past year.
The two men created a number of prototypes and then tested different versions while traveling in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. They found a 6 millimeter rubber made by Vibram, covered in calfskin to be the most durable when dry and in the water.
They came up with a business model to manufacture and market the line of handmade, minimalist sandals online. Johnson handles most of the marketing and sales while Hudson is in charge of production, crafting each pair in a spare room of his home.
The soles are made of non-marking, durable rubber and suede and the upper straps from three feet of hand tied parachute cord. Hudson wanted to make tying the sandals easier for customers so he searched out the right equipment and settled on a small silver button that he attached to act as a fastener.
The small silver button is an interesting piece. According to Hudson, it is a reproduction of a medieval coin and was chosen both for its practicality and its interesting look.
IAM Sandals are currently only available in khaki, but they hope to offer different colors of cord and buttons in the near future. Despite their simple design, the pair contend the sandals are both durable and practical for everyday wear.
"They've lasted longer than my Birkenstocks," Johnson said of the sandals he has been wearing for more than a year.
The made-to-order sandals retail for $69 and are sold online at www.iam-sandals.com. The design is the same for both men and women.
Since their website went live in late January, they have sold more than 40 pairs. Johnson said, "The cool thing is that people are buying more than one pair."
Hudson was initially worried that the knots used to fasten the sandal might be intimidating to customers. So, they created an online video demonstrating how to tie them and are asking patrons to come up with and post their own ideas. The video is posted on YouTube and on the company's website.
Hudson said when they reach steady sales of about 25 pairs a week, they will have to consider a different manufacturing plan. The ambitious co-founders hope to eventually branch out into the retail market.
Johnson said he would like to make the company "a genuine viable, business" but wants to keep production as close to home as possible.
