Lanai Shopping
You won't have to fight the mall parking in Lanai. Shopping in Lanai City is a laid-back experience, where hidden treasures can be found under the shade of Dole Park's towering pine trees. Six blocks long on each side of the park, Lanai City features art galleries like the Jordanne Fine Art Studio, the Mike Carroll Gallery and the Lanai Art Center. Shop charming boutiques like the Local Gentry, Gifts with Aloha, and Dis' N Dat for local fashion, unique souvenirs and handcrafted keepsakes. You won't find a single shopping mall on these shores and that's exactly how the people of Lanai like it.

Very nice quality, color is true to picture, fits well. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because the clasps are a little difficult to fasten, but this seems to be a common type of closure in corsets so there isn't much else out there in this price point. Delivery was very fast.

Great buy overall! I made a size change a few days before it arrived and they were swift to change it. It fit wonderfully and served its purpose! Everyone loved my Wonder Woman outfit! Would def recommend to anyone interested!

This was my first (and so far only) corset purchase. Due to dozens of abdominal surgery over the past seven years (liver cancer and all the pleasantness that goes with it), I have scar tissue in several places that make me appear the Pillsbury Dough Boy accidentally deflated a little. Love handles? I have love guardrails! I have constant back pain as well due to the removal of a lot of muscle tissue around my spine. This corset has been wonderful because it gives me a smoother shape, enabling me to once again wear cute dresses and blouses, but the back support has been an unexpected and very pleasant bonus!I said it's almost perfect because I'm short-waisted. My height 5'6 is mostly in my legs. When I sit while wearing the corset, it does rise just a bit too high, making my dcollet swell up nearly to my chin lol. Now that I know what I want and need, it'll be easy to custom order one. But for your first corset, this one is an extremely good risk, and at an awesome price as well!

For the price, you really can't get better than this anywhere! The boning is pretty secure, and the back is laced with two ribbons so it is very adjustable. It runs a but small though, be sure to look at the size chart.

Thanks to the 'Bonitaz' sizing chart listed, I was able to order the exact size I needed. It fits perfect!I was worried about the color being a little lighter blue than what I needed based on the pictures, but when I got it it was the perfect deep royal blue I was looking for! The pics on the listing did not do it justice.The bones are a little weaker than my other corsets and like to bend and fold over, thus the 4 stars instead of 5, but for the price, you can't beat it.

A private university of 11,000 students near the center of Dallas, SMU offers strong undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs through seven schools.
Hunt Leadership Scholars Program
The Hunt Leadership Scholars award is for full SMU tuition and fees, less the amount of resident tuition and fees at the leading public school of the student's state of residency. If eligible, a student can be awarded need-based aid in addition to the Hunt Scholarship. In addition, because leaders of the 21st century will need to have a global vision in any area of leadership, the award also underwrites tuition and transportation to one of SMU's study abroad programs.
In addition, Hunt Leadership Scholars have unusual opportunities to learn from leaders. The Scholars have wide access to the Tate Lectures Series, one of the premiere public lecture series in the country. The Hunt Scholars Program hosts a number of forums and discussions with leaders from many arenas. Finally, Hunt Scholars are expected to become leaders and change agents within the SMU community.

Do they check your transcript before applying?
I failed 3 classes in college.
Two of them were math classes... but they were remedial classes so they don't count toward my college credit.
The third one was an English class (I know... horrible). It was the first time I failed English and I still regret not dropping that class.
Because of this, I am banned from applying to any colleges within my state (except technical colleges and a few others; depends on accreditation) for three years. This three year hiatus is one reason why I have considered teaching for a while. Sorta like a "gap year", I guess.
Should I just forget about teaching ESL?

Children's is proud to be a leader in rabies treatment. Dr. Rodney Willoughby developed a treatment protocol for rabies and used the protocol to treat the first person to survive the disease without having a rabies immunization. Dr. Willoughby's leadership has transformed the treatment of a disease that was once considered incurable and fatal.
Rabies is a preventable viral infection that attacks the nervous system. It most commonly occurs after a bite by an infected animal. According to the Center for Disease Control, more than half of the people who contract rabies each year in the U.S. are under the age of 15.
Rabies symptoms can match the symptoms of many other diseases and can include fever, headache and chills. As symptoms worsen, your child may experience:
If untreated, rabies can be life-threatening.
If your child has been bitten by an animal it is important to thoroughly wash any wounds with soap and water as soon as possible. It is important to seek medical treatment after your child has been bitten by an animal.
When your child is seen at Children's they will receive a complete evaluation by experienced and skilled providers. This evaluation will determine the treatment course needed by your child.
The Children's Hospital Rabies Registry allows providers to report infections and outcomes for patients. To register a patient, please visit our Rabies Registry.

Reviews forBaked Spaghetti Potluck Casserole
My Review
Average Rating
"A plus recipe!! Spaghetti has always been my favorite dish as a kid and even as a adult. I was so excited to try this recipe. I thought it was strange to use cream of mushroom and tomato soup but wow i was wrong. I made this for my family today!! Everyone loved it and even had 2nds and 3rds. The only thing I changed and recommend in the recipe is, I didn't add the sugar, it already had a perfect taste. I would double the soups and tomato sauce and water. Instead of adding seperate seasonings, I used a packet of spaghetti seasoning. I would use 2 packets if you double the soups, sauce and water. It was very good and I will be making again. We just enjoy it with a little more sauce!! Yummy"
"Very good and very easy. Husband really liked it!"
"i quadripled this recipe for my sons highschool foot ball team dinner. all four pans were devoured!! i did add mushrooms to one and diced tomato to all. italian seasoning works well too if you dont have the individual spices. Also an inexpensive way to feed a crowd on a single mom budget. thank you !!"
"Delicious !! I used 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground mild italian saugage. AS well...... I added double the cheese. Say cheese. :-)"
"My family just loves this recipe. They ask for it about every week."
"I really liked this. I made it because I was trying to use some canned goods from my pantry, and it's going to become a staple in my house. I used vegetarian soy "meat" crumbles in place of the ground beef, and pizza sauce in place of the tomato sauce (because that was the closes thing I had to tomato sauce). It was great! I will definitely make this again."
"My family loves this recipe. They want me to make it at all the time"
"My husband is a fussy eater. I made this and he absolutely loved it. Very easy to make and plenty for leftovers if you have a small family like we do."
"easy, creamy, very good. I didn't change a thing and will definately keep this recipe."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Glad to hear you had a great time with your son.
I'm glad that it turned out fun for you and the kid! When I learned (like 3 weeks ago) I was 13 and I was still getting really frusterated so I can't imagine how frusterating it would be for a 3 to 4 year old!
I'm going up soon with my best friend/neighbor and his little brother, who is 7, and I tought his little brother Bmx and Skating (I can actually bmx unlike snowboarding) and he progressed so fast! He can already bunnyhop 180 and can ollie, nollie, manual for a good distance, and can almost kickflip! His older brother, my friend, wants to ski, and the little brother wants to snowboard. He's getting lessons and I'm sure he'll progress faster then an average 7 year old would, being that he is completely fearless, crazy, and has major skill on a skateboard! After his lessons are over I know he'll be hungry for more and I'm not good enough to teach him but I'm good enough to play games and to tell him tips after his pro instructor leaves. He's super stoked and so am I!

um...Im almost 40 and I get pretty damn stoked on 3 inches of air then again Im a midget so that's like half my height...
thanks for the tips. Im gonna be teaching a 7 year old soon. He skateboards and does Aikido weekly so that should help. However we probably have zero acess to snow until we get to the resort. Any dry land 'games' I can start him with or just have him keep skateboarding?
Just a follow up. Got my boy out to the slopes finally and I would say it was a fairly successful outing. I kept it very light hearted and let him set the pace. He would go down the hill about 3 or 4 times then tell me he was done. I would them unnstrap him and let him play in the snow. Then a little later he'd decided he wants to ride some more. I was amazed how well he was able to stay up. After a couple rides he kept demanding I let go of him and let him ride without my help. Very proud of the little booger.
After he was done we went into the lodge and he enjoyed some hot chocolate and snickerdoodles.
Thanks so much to everyone for the good advice.
Thanks Bear. Good ideas.
Hoping to get him out by Christmas. Mother nature is finally cooperating.
A bit more
I would just like to tack on a few things to what snowolf said (which was excellent by the way) and yes FUN is the only important thing here (well after safety)
1: be prepared for a very short day, and thats ok!
2: Keep in mind maslows mountain, it basically says that if the base needs are not met, we will not learn. so too cold, hungry, scared... etc fix that before anything else
3: one thing some kids like, and you will now better than me for your kid, is falling, they find it hilarious. Where i teach we have a surface conveyor that takes you up a very mellow hill, and some of our youngest kids LOVE falling into the fresh snow on the side of the groom. How does this help you? Start them in the middle, then you lead by turning into the fresh snow and falling and laughing, if they follow, they are learning to turn, and laughing!

Understand that a kid will not and physically can not manipulate a snowboard the way that an adolescent or adult can; they have not developed the core muscles. They use whole body movements to control their board so understand that the correct body movements for an adult will never apply to them. They generally do not bend at the ankles and knees like we do and the concepts of using their feet independently to twist the board can be difficult for them. You will see a lot of rotary movements as they try to steer their board. When trying to improve them, don`t tell them to do the movements we use; they can`t and it will frustrate them.
A movement they can understand and actually perform in inclination. That is simply leaning back and forth on their toes and on their heels. Use this movement to get them to feel that as they pressure the heel and toe edge of the board it turns. This is big and when the kid experiences this aspect of control they will feel a sense of accomplishment. Along this line, kids generally love the freestyle aspect of snowboarding if they have any interest. Don`t be afraid to make a little pile of snow and let the little guy jump off of it. You wont believe how big of a thing catching 3 inches of air off of a "jump" is to a kid and how it stokes them. Let the kid explore things like this a little bit. Even if they cant turn the board or do anything but stay upright on it, make a little tiny ramp and let the kid fly off of it (obviously maintain good safety surroundings). They always giggle and laugh when the do even a tiny air.
The biggest problem you will likely face is that the kid will, once he gets used to staying on the board, go really fast without turning until he crashes. I see this with 90% of the kids I have worked with. Your biggest challenge will be getting the kid to learn how to stop and to pay attention to his surroundings. This is the one "task" that you do have to make sure your kid learns and understands the importance of. It does not have to be a boring drill, but before you can let the kid do more unassisted riding, they have got to be able to at least make a panic stop and know when to do it.
Again, because kids at this age have not refined precise motor skills, the stopping is going to be a massive rotary movement to spin the board across the hill to stop. Really focus on teaching the kid to lean back a little when they do this so they do not catch their toe edge when stopping. Just expect them to fall on the bum when they do a stop because again, they have not really refined that control yet. Falling like this really does not bother kids at all from what I have seen. Just stress that they need to be ready to do this if they are about to hit something or someone.
A great game for the kids when teaching them how to stop is "Red Light Green Light". You position yourself below the child on the gentle run and the game is that you are the traffic light. When you say green,m the point the board down the hill and go. When you say red, they turn the board and stop. Make it fun and give them a little reward for "not running the stop light".
Try to make each drill in learning a new and fun game. Kids generally have short attention spans so keep moving on to new things. Only spend about 5 minutes doing the same thing and move on to something new. It is all about play with kids this age.
If you have one, a Hula Hoop is an awesome training aid for teaching little kids. You can use it to ride together with the kid hanging on one side and you the other. They can also ride inside of the hoop and I have found there are many fun games for the kids you can come up with by using it.
Above all, make it fun and don`t set goals that the kid has to try to accomplish because if the goals are not met, some kids get frustrated with themselves and the activity. Take frequent breaks from riding and just play in the snow. Throw snowballs, make a snowman, whatever and also be sure to take plenty of inside breaks. I have found that kids can get cold quicker than adults and they may be afraid to say something. Keeping the kid warm and happy is a huge factor in their overall experience and can make or break them as far as pursuing the sport.

The kid is stoked about going he keeps asking me about it every day.

The biggest thing is to just make it fun and add some stuff to the experience that makes it fun besides just riding (i.e. hot chocolate afterwards or a mini snowball fight as a break).
When my son first started on skis at 3 he enjoyed it but lost interest pretty quick when he got tired. Part of me wanted to convince him to keep going since we made the trip up to the mountain, but it was better to not push it and just ensure he enjoyed his time at the mountain even if he didn't ski a ton at first.
If you can, get a little video of him riding. My son loved, and still loves, seeing videos of him on the hill. It's good to reinforce how much fun he had and motivate him for the next time.
That's all I got. Have fun and good luck!

I got this bucket from an artist that I know. It's fiberglass and the parts are resin. I just thought it was a great deal and wanted to share the opportunity with others. I can vouch for him that he's a stand up guy.
He was told the mold came from a screen used helmet but wanted to assure me that he can't verify that and couldn't claim it's veracity. He works more with comic sculpts and his own molds and designs.
The price is right and it's a good looking bucket from an untrained eye.
PM if interested and I'll put you in contact with him. I didn't want to post his site directly here as I'm not sure about MOD rules on that sort of thing.


text: I need to make a confession and FSU seems the safest place to do it. I've recently realized that I'm an incorrigible house snob. I have very high standards and strong opinions when it comes to residences. I like homes to be well kept and well maintained. I abhor cheap repairs or remodeling jobs. I dislike the architectural mishmash that so many contemporary architects resort to in even upscale subdivisions. I know that in many cases the homeowner can't afford the repair that would best compliment the home's architecture. But I still shudder everytime I see a Tudor style house where the stucco has been replaced by vinyl siding. Ditto with low budget basement conversions or porch enclosures. Shabby, out-of-date interiors depress me. I try very hard not to let on to people who own these unfortunate homes that their house gives me the blues. People are sensitive about their homes and most of these homeowners are doing the best they can with limited financial resources. But sometimes it takes all of my self-control not to go, "Ugh![' out loud. There. I feel better now that I finally got this off my chest. My question to other FSU posters. Am I the only one who reacts to shabby or ugly homes in this manner?

My favourite garlands are the four we have suspened from the ceiling with
glass ornaments on....
Just like this.....
Growing up, my parents used tinsel. My mother was VERY picky about how it was hung. It had to be hung just so and only one strand at a time. We were not allowed to just fling it on. And, she took it off very neatly each year and REUSED it again over and over. (We always had a real tree; I have found out since that it is very hard to get off of fake trees.) I loved the way it shimmered and reflected the lights. I still love it, as long as it's done right, but you have to have a lot of patience. After I was married, I started using red bows, because my brother did and I liked the way they looked. Then, after that for a few years, I used alternating red bows with bows that had small pink and white checks on them and I also used three long strings of popcorn and added candy canes. Then, several years ago, I started using white bows instead of red. they aren't stark white, but more like a winter white. And then, about 3 or 4 years ago, I used small white beads along with the white bows, but then I discovered that the clear/opaque beads look better than the white ones. So, that is what I have used up to last year. And, I never know when to stop, so sometimes I use bows, beads, AND tinsel. lol. But, I have never used that big hunky silver or gold garland because I think it usually looks tacky. But, that's just picky ol' me.
Here is something similar to what I've seen locally.
Crystal Garland
This is very fancy, but I think something scaled back could be handmade for your garland. Oh, well, as long as you can find inexpensive acrylic crystals!
I've seen garland like this strung through Christmas trees and it's lovely!

The Panasonic DMR-HW120 is a dual tuner Freeview HD digital recorder with 500GB of storage space built-in and support for smart TV services and network media streaming. Priced at around £250, it's the entry level model in Panasonic's new for 2012 range of PVRs.
Panasonic's digital recorders all use pretty much the same chassis and so look virtually identical. Just like last year's models, this one has a mostly glossy black finish that looks smart, but also a little bit boring. The front is covered by a semi-transparent flap, behind which sits a large-ish six character LED display. This is used to show time and channel information and is joined by two small red LEDs to indicate when one or two recordings are in progress. Also behind this flap are a USB port and an SD card slot.
On the Panasonic DMR-HW120's rear panel you'll find a second USB port as well an Ethernet port. Sadly, there's no Wi-Fi built-in, but there is a rather expensive USB Wi-Fi dongle available for around £70 if you want to go wire-free.
The rear also houses a HDMI port, along with an optical digital audio out and a pair of phono sockets for analogue stereo output. Naturally, there are RF input and output connectors to feed the aerial into the recorder and back to your TV. That's your lot, though, so it's not compatible with older TVs that only have component rather than HDMI ports.
The onboard 500GB hard drive is large enough to store around 129 hours of HD recordings or 258 hours of standard definition recordings. Thankfully Panasonic has improved the EPG substantially over that used on its previous recorders. There are two very welcome changes. Firstly, there's now a video thumbnail window in the top left hand corner of the screen, so when you call up the EPG you don't lose all audio and video as you used to with the old EPG. Secondly, the web-style adverts that took up valuable space on the screen have been confined to the dustbin. Other updates include a new layout that has a more airy feel to it, and the use of larger, easier to read text fonts.
As you would expect, the Panasonic DMR-HW120 has pretty much all of the staple PVR features. The presence of twin tuners mean you can use it to record one show while watching another, or alternatively record two shows at the same time. When it's recording two shows you can flick between them, but you can't watch a third channel. Some PVRs do allow you to watch a third channel as long as it's on the same multiplex, but that's not the case here.
Recordings are very easy to set up. You can just select a show in the EPG and choose either the 'single record' or 'series record' options. The former just records a single episode of a show, while series record will try to grab all the episodes in a series automatically as they come up for broadcast.
Naturally, you can just hit the record button at any time to start instantly recording the programme that you're viewing to disc or alternatively you can create a manual timer by entering data for the channel number, start and end times. However, we can't see very many people using this method as setting up recordings via the EPG is so much easier.
This model supports chase play too, so you can start watching a show from the beginning while the end is still recording. You can also pause live TV. Once you hit the pause button the recorder starts buffering the TV show to disc, so when you press play you can carry on from exactly where you left off. It's a neat feature to have if you need to answer the door or pick up the telephone.

On Tuesday, I wrote (here and elsewhere) about Antonio Love, a deaf and disabled man who was tasered and pepper-sprayed by police when he wouldn't open the bathroom door for them. The case is a perfect example of how the needs of othered bodies are consistently dismissed and anecdotal evidence of the violence that persons with disabilities face.
I didn't know before today that Love was black, and that clearly added to the excessive force involved in the situation. Though his race didn't contribute to the police breaking down the door, I am certain that it had to do with the cruelty inflicted upon Love after the police got in and saw his skin color. Upon that, the deaf and disabled man was tasered three times and then laughed at when his disabilities became apparent. Love's story is clearly another entry in the storied history of police racism in the United States.
Love wrote an account of the gut-wrenching situation:
The full letter is six pages long, and posted at the source above. You can tell how scared he must have been - he talks about the poison, the humiliation of cops laughing at him, of the excessive and potentially lethal tasering. For their part, the police are apparently continuing their investigation, and taking some action:
A Mobile police officer who was involved in an incident where pepper spray and a Taser were used on a deaf and mentally disabled man has been put on administrative duty.My reaction:
Mobile police gave out a statement Wednesday saying the officer's identity was not being released at this time and that the family of 37-year-old Antonio Love has filed a formal complaint with the department.
- Love should get a big big settlement.
- The officer at fault should at the VERY least have his administrative leave coupled with some intensive training on how to deal with disabled persons and people of color in general and hopefully a refresher course on appropriate force before returning to active duty. (I do not think that the officer losing his job would be inappropriate, but I don't know his history).
- The entire force should undergo some kind of similar but less time-intensive training.

I am going into my first winter with my hives. I have read everything on how much they should weigh, and discussions of heavy versus light, but these are all terribly confusing as I have no frame of reference in judging the relative weighs. Is putting fondant in an empty super over the inner cover a good insurance policy? Is there any reason not to do it for a hobbiest with only three hives. I can see where a large commercial beekeeping or a hobbiest with tens of hives may have cost and effort concerns.
I am contemplating making some sugar baords for late spring and place pollen or substitutte in the middle for those early brood. Any thoughts on this gang??????
I was thinking of pouring jhalf into a mold, letting it cool, add powder on top and cover w/ warm sugar syrup was my thinking.
Fondant is a term used to describe many products, all in regards to a sugar based item used in cakes etc. I've had this discussion with a couple bakers before, and they seemed to have a different opinion and definition."Pure" Fondant as I know it has two or thee ingredients. Sugar, HFCS, and with or without water added. That's it.
You don't use high fructose corn syrup, you use just plain old corn syrup - Karo syrup, the kind your grandmother used. HFCS is no good for us - so why would you feed it to bees? :?
> They can go through 15 gallons a day of syrup,> compared to about 4 gallons of HFCS for 15 hives.The implication here is that HFCS has almost 4X the nutritional content of 2:1 syrup.I am at a loss to understand how 4 gallons of HFCS/day can sustain your hives if they need 15 gallons of syrup/day.
Quote from: rein-beau on November 16, 2008, 07:07:06 PMYou don't use high fructose corn syrup, you use just plain old corn syrup - Karo syrup, the kind your grandmother used. HFCS is no good for us - so why would you feed it to bees? :?I was told you shouldn't use Karo- I am also aware some people believe HFCS is bad for bees. I use HFCS 55, a specific type of HFSC and have had no adverse effects from it. I am uncertain that because something is bad for humans, it is therefore bad for bees or vice versa. Bees have unique needs from humans. I apologize if this is confusing to a newbie, all this disagreement amongst beeks. I feed my bees HFCS b/c its easier. I have had no adverse effects so far. If I did, I would definately stop feeding HFCS. No lost hives. In our area we need more stores that even places that are colder for longer periods of time. My bees will fly and raise brood in february, than have snow 12 hrs later. this yo-yoing creates huge demands on food resources. I doubt my bees would survive w/o this extra food, including sugar boards placed in february and HFSC in fall. I cant keep up w/ making sugar syrup in the fall. They can go through 15 gallons a day of syrup, compared to about 4 gallons of HFCS for 15 hives.

Forest Journal: Greeting autumn and its many pleasures
DAVE ANDERSON | September 28. 2013 1:49AM
Autumn foliage is generally as reliable an annual crop as winter frost heaves and the ritualistic spring stone harvest from vegetable gardens. Yet by October, even the sturdiest leaves grow ragged and threadbare from combined effects of insects and weather. The leaves are almost ready to ... leave.
Farewell, summer. First frosts and hard freezes have doomed remaining mosquitoes. No more bugs, heat, humidity or deluges from thunderstorms - all of which made summer challenging and our dog neurotic.

Pittsburgh • A federal judge declined to reduce a $1.17 billion patent infringement verdict that Carnegie Mellon University won against a California technology firm in 2012.
U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer previously rejected Marvell Technology Group's bid for a retrial in the case involving use of the university's 1998 patented technology in chips manufactured for computer hard drives.
In a 73-page opinion released late Tuesday, the judge also rejected Marvell's argument that that the amount should be reduced by $620 million because of the university's lack of diligence in protecting its patents.
Fischer said the university "inexcusably" waited five years before suing, but that delay was offset by Marvell's "deliberate and sustained" infringement. She has yet to rule on university motions to increase damages.

Nashua seeks an inclusive place to play
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | July 05. 2013 8:49PM
"We haven't finalized a site yet. We are still working with the city to make that happen," said Jamie Stein, one of the playground organizers.
Although the mayor mentioned in her State of the City address earlier this year that Greeley Park could be home to the new play facility, Lozeau stressed Tuesday that if Greeley Park is determined to be the ideal site, the board of aldermen would have the final say.
"Everyone will have a say in this. I am open to whatever the best and most safe location will be," she added. "It really is a cool project."
If that is the ultimate recommendation, Lozeau said she would need support from Alderman Diane Sheehan of Ward 3, where the park is located, before she would bring forward any official proposal for aldermen to consider.

I purchased a new Mark lll "Hunter" the other day, and have 700 rds through it already. Needless to say that this gun is enjoyable to shoot. Very accurate, even with me behind the trigger. I put "match dot" sight on it and am having a blast. I must say, this is a fun, and cheap way to range shoot. Below are a few photos of the "entire kit", a close up of the "main things", and the "bench look" after I did a ''complete" overhaul of the gun to see how she stood up. I never thought I'd get it back together, but I impressed myself and got it done. Trust me, there were alot of cuss words going on, with "Ruger" right in the middle of them. Remarkably, it was not that dirty. It took about 6 hours from start to finish, as I wasn't in a hurry. Honestly, I think I could now clean it in about 2 hours. There is a lot of talk about how difficult the Ruger is to strip down, but after you do it, it doesn't seem so bad. I didn't think it was any more difficult then my Beretta M9. It's just a little different in approach and technique. I love the gun, it's grrrrreat!
thanks, bt

While regular physical activity is important for people of all ages, it has been shown that the benefits of regular exercise are the most important to the people who tend to exercise the least—people over 50, and even more so, people over 60.
There are numerous benefits of exercise, including:
Given these compelling reasons to exercise regularly, why don't more people over 50 do it? The excuses range from feeling too old, to having a specific medical condition, to not having enough time, to feeling out of place. But the truth is that almost anyone of any age can participate in some type of physical activity, including people with certain conditions. Fortunately, beneficial results can occur from as little as 30 minutes of exercise 3 or more times per week. Also encouraging for the 50 plus crowd is that many gyms, health clubs, swim clubs, walking clubs, YMCAs, and senior centers are offering more exercise programs geared toward their age group.
Before starting any exercise program, you should have a thorough physical and get the go-ahead from your physician. If you have a condition, your doctor will also want to make recommendations about what exercise program will be most suitable for you, set any necessary limitations on that program, and monitor your progress.
When you have approval from your doctor, what should you aim for? The US Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines to gain health benefits:
To gain even more health benefits, the US Department of Health and Human Services recommends these weekly goals:
Remember that it is okay if you exercise for just 10 minutes at a time!
Include these exercises in your weekly routine:
Aerobic exercise is anything that causes an increase in the overall activity of your cardiovascular system for a sustained period. Over time, aerobic activity conditions your body in general, and your heart and lungs in particular, to be able to perform a greater amount of work with less effort.
Even minimal increases in aerobic activity can be beneficial, but try to reach the goals mentioned above. The best approach would be to try to exercise every day.
Factor in the following 2 elements:
In addition to toning your body and making all movement less strenuous, strength training helps to support your joints, thus preventing arthritic problems and reducing the chance of injuries caused by falls.
There are a range of strengthening exercises that you can do. Some examples include using:
Doing exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, chin-ups, and lunges also build your muscles. Remember to start slowly with your new routine.
Stretching exercises serve a number of purposes, including maintaining full motion in your joints, keeping muscles from shortening and tightening, preventing or lessening the effects of arthritis, and preventing injuries by increasing agility and mobility. A physical trainer can help you design a stretching regimen that you can do every day.
Other tips can also improve your exercise experience:
Finally, if you experience any of the following symptoms during exercise, stop right away!
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

|interesting. I may forcefully give the tabs more room and try good ol mesh but I'd hate to try it and see it fail. I've done lots of stuff with mesh but never tabs, or in this case skinny ones
If the tab dosen't show , is it possible to melt some stainless steel screen into the plastic to reinforce the fix?
The best screen can come kitchen department.. The stainless splatter screen they (wives,girlfriends) use to cover the hot oil when cooking is a fine mesh that can be melted in and as it is drill able and won't rust stain etc, those hand strainer thingys are good for tougher projects but both need to be replaced asap or they'll yell..
Anyway a common solder gun can push it into the hot plastic as you heat it cut to fit in place.
hope to have helped
fixing small plastic tabs/ and fixing toyota bumper
two separate questions. Fixed my wife's quarter and took off the bumper to repair. It's a 2002 Honda civic. The tabs are small and thin and broken. In a shop we always get new ones when that happens but if I wanted to would a plastic repair work to fix them? I don't think they'd hold up and if they did they did I imagine they'd have to be too thick to squeeze into the bracket. I said we should replace it but if it's doable I'd rather do that. One of the tabs holds a bracket right under the tail light. Is this possible? Btw, the tabs are too small for a net to help. Any advice appreciated.
Also, am fixing an old man's 96 tacoma as a favor. The rear chrome bumper is bent down on the right side and the bracket is bent on that side. Could I just stick a porta power down there with a 2x4 and push it up? Would it work? I think it's worth a try. Or do you think I should just go to pick and pull and grab a used one with right bracket?

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Horizon League office announced its postseason award winners on Monday afternoon, and a trio of Green Bay players were honored for impressive seasons. Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) was named to the All-Horizon League First Team, junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) was named to the All-Horizon League Second Team and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) earned a spot on the All-Newcomer Team, finishing second in Newcomer of the Year voting.
In helping the Phoenix lead the Horizon League in conference play in field goal percentage defense, rebounding and blocked shots, Brown and Fouse were both also named to the All-Defensive Team. Fouse is the first freshman named to the team since Terry Evans in 2005-06. The awards also mark the first time two Phoenix players were voted to the All-Defensive Team since 1997-98.
Sykes has built off a tremendous freshman campaign with an even better sophomore season. The 5-foot-11 point guard from Chicago has reached double figures in 27 of 30 games and ranks fourth in the Horizon League in points per game (15.4). He is one of only two players in the conference to win at least three player of the week awards this season, with Valparaiso's Ryan Broekhoff being the other.
Including a career-high 31 points in the season opener, Sykes has scored 20 or more points seven times this season. He has done much of his damage in the clutch, averaging 9.2 points per game after halftime. In Horizon League road wins at Cleveland State and Youngstown State in mid-February, Sykes scored 19 second-half points in back-to-back games.
The point guard has not just improved his scoring numbers, but he has also increased his production in assists, rebounds and steals. Sykes ranks tied for fourth in assists per game (4.2) in the Horizon League overall and second in league play (4.4).
He has vastly improved his shooting percentages from the three-point line and free-throw line. Making 17 more three-pointers, Sykes is making 42.1 percent from long range, up nearly 20 percent from his freshman season. Sykes is 142-173 from the charity stripe, ranking first in the conference in free throws made and eighth in free-throw percentage (82.1 percent).
Brown has been at his best in Horizon League play, ranking fourth in the league in conference play in points per game (15.6). In league action, the 7-foot-1 junior also ranked second in blocks (2.6), fourth in three-point percentage (.444) and ninth free-throw percentage (.811).
On three different occasions in league play, Brown has topped his career high. He had 23 points at Milwaukee on Jan. 25 to become the program's 25th member of the 1,000-point club. On Feb. 2, Brown made 10-of-14 shots at Loyola en route to 25 points. Most recently, Brown made 10-of-12 shots and a career-high four three-pointers as part of a 28-point effort against Milwaukee on Feb. 26.
For the season, Brown is averaging 13.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. He ranks in the league's top-10 in points, rebounds, blocked shots, offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds. If he had enough attempts to qualify, Brown would be tied for second in the league in three-point percentage.
A 2011-12 All-Horizon League First-Team selection, Brown has accumulated 1,145 points, 603 rebounds and 211 blocks in 92 career games. The Green Bay career leader in blocks ranks third all-time in Horizon League history and is one of only three players to have played in the conference to reach 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 200 blocked shots.
Despite being a true freshman, Fouse has been among the most consistent Green Bay players this season. Along with Brown and Sykes, he is one of three Phoenix players to start all 30 games and is averaging 6.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. The only player in the Horizon League to rank in the top-10 in rebounds, steals and blocks, Fouse ranked in the top-3 in each category.
The top rebounder in the conference, Fouse broke the Phoenix freshman record for rebounds in a season, a record set by Dennis Woeffler which had stood since 1969-70. Fouse grabbed 10 rebounds in his first college game, never had less than three boards and has collected five or more in each of Green Bay's past 15 contests.
A premier defender, Fouse has been instrumental in helping the Phoenix lead the league in field goal percentage defense, rebounding margin and blocked shots in conference play. The 6-foot-7 freshman broke the program record for steals in a season with 52, including tying the program's single-game record with seven on Jan. 9 against Loyola.
Fouse's 43 blocks this season are the seventh-most in team history and the second-most by a Phoenix freshman (Alec Brown's 67 in 2010-11). With five more blocks, Fouse will have swatted more shots in a season than any Green Bay player not named Alec Brown. That duo helped Green Bay break the program record for blocks in a season (143), a record previously set last season.
The freshman has three double-doubles and was been named Horizon League Newcomer of the Week twice, including after a 17-point, 10-rebound, 4-assist, 4-steal and 3-block effort against Cleveland State on Jan. 19.
Tickets are just $11 for adults and $7 for youth and are available at all TicketStar locations, the Resch Center box office (open 11 AM-5 PM Monday and 11 AM-game time on Tuesday), by calling 800-895-0071 or online at ticketstaronline.com.
The winners of the first round games will advance to the quarterfinals on Friday night in Valparaiso, Ind. The Green Bay-Milwaukee winner will face the winner of the No. 5 UIC-No. 8 Cleveland State game in the quarterfinals on Friday night.
Green Bay swept the Panthers in the regular season, including a 79-61 victory at the Resch Center on Tuesday, Feb. 26, the final regular season game of the year for Milwaukee. Brown scored 51 points in two games against the Panthers this season, including a career-high 28 points last Tuesday.

Replace your Choke Pull-Off. They go bad after some time. I have sold plenty over the years to repair garages. They are vacuum operated to pull the choke open as the engine heats up. Its my bet this is your problem.
The fact that the engine rpms drop when you apply pressure to the butterfly linkage indicates that there is no binding in the idle step linkages.
So as SFRY said you are probably going to need to replace your bi-metal choke. (relatively simple if it has screws holding it on).
Before removing it, mark what position it is set to this will be a good starting point for installation and adjustment. There should be a small notch or groove on top of the choke and reference marks on the body of the housing.
If you need any other assistance let us know.
Does that carb have a bi-metal spring in the choke housing?
If it does, over time the metal spring weakens and doesn't completely open the choke. Check to see if there is a spring, if there is, replace it.
That's one of the easier things to check.
81' Corvette Idling Problems
Problem: As my 81' Corvette, warms up, the engine electric choke does not seem to drop the engine into normal idle. The problem is intermittent but happens more frequently.
Background: My 81' vette has the standard Chevy 350 with the "Quadrajet E4ME" Carburetor. The car has about 85K miles on it. The carburetor system has worked fine and I have had no need to ever remove it for service. The car is garaged and I do most of the work on car myself. My biggest problem is I don't drive it enough but it is well cared for. I have zero experience on carb issues and would appreciate help and/or direction.
Actions taken: I've confirmed that I'm getting 12.5 volts to the electronic choke. I've applied liberal amounts of carb cleaner to all exposed parts to ensure that dirt and gum are removed. Once the car reaches normal operating temp and the engine fails to fall below approximately 900-1100 rpm, I'll remove the carb air filter cover and observe that the forward barrel butter fly valves are not fully open. I place my thumb on the barrel operating linkage to push the valves open while, at the same time, goosing the engine. The barrels move a few degrees further to max open and the engine drops to a normal 600 rpm idle. Sometimes this corrects the problem and other times, it doesn't. As soon as I accelerate a bit. the barrels fail to fully open and the engine idle remains higher than normal.
I've read the service manual but this carb stuff gets complicated quick and I am hesitant to approach things and make it worse without direction. You folks are great and I thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.

I have a reputation around the library of not liking the 800's, meaning books that have a Dewey number classification in the 800s: plays, poetry, essays, literary criticism, satire and humor, literature.
When I made the comment that has earned me that reputation, I was referring to the amount of shelf space we devote to the 800s in comparison to the number of times books in these categories are checked out in a year. It was in the context of a discussion about books needing to "earn" their shelf space and a comparison to retail – more retail shelf space is devoted to items that sell. In our case, "selling" generally means circulating, although some books, of course, are used within the library and not checked out to a patron.
In the case of the 800s, we devote much more space to them than the circulation percentage would warrant, but we aren't in the retail business either.
Collection maintenance, ordering new titles and discarding old ones, is a delicate balance within libraries. We want to have the new, hot titles; we want our shelves to look inviting; we want patrons to check out our materials; but we also want to have that old, favorite title a patron wants to reread or a title someone wants to browse, but not check out.
Our librarian staff is experienced at finding this balance, using a variety of tools, including circulation statistics, lists of standard titles, and their experience helping patrons. We also keep current on old titles that might have a new life through a movie version or renewed attention to the author.
Come visit soon; I'm betting we will have what you want to read next.
P.S. I really don't dislike the 800s, actually I read quite a few books of essays, but I admit, I don't read poetry very often.

Lesley's Sonnabend Fellow Diana Chapman Walsh, President Emerita of Wellesley College, offered her reflections on the convergence of leadership and mindfulnessBy Dr. Nancy Waring, Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and faculty director of the Mindfulness Studies Program at Lesley
Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Such was the question explored by Dr. Diana Chapman Walsh in her far-reaching talk Tuesday evening at Lesley University on the convergence of mindfulness and leadership.
Chapman Walsh led the audience through her early days as President of Wellesley College, to Southern India last summer, where she helped lead the week-long Mind and Life Institute hosted by the Dalai Lama. The conversation focused on the bridging of Buddhist Scholars in Tibet with researchers and scholars from around the world.
"Being with you today, and preparing for this visit, have enhanced my appreciation of who you are and what you do," said Chapman Walsh. Lesley's vision resonated with her, she said: "'Scholarship grounded in practice … learning rooted in experience.' Graduates who you hope will leave you 'with the knowledge, skill, understanding, and ethical judgment to be catalysts who shape a more just, humane, and sustainable world.'" She praised Lesley's dedication to "intellectual rigor side-by-side with a growing interest in contemplative practice and mindfulness as a subject of serious study."
Reflecting on her Wellesley presidency, Chapman Walsh observed, "For me the discovery of mindfulness was initially very much implicated in the practice of leadership---leadership that is effective or 'trustworthy.'"
Chapman Walsh was speaking as this year's Sonnabend Fellow. Initiated in 1989 to honor former Chair of Lesley's Board of Trustees, Elsa Sonnabend, the fellowship brings to campus distinguished practitioners in the field of human services to work with Lesley's students and faculty and enrich the academic community. Renowned for her transformative educational leadership at Wellesley and beyond, Chapman Walsh is a sought-after speaker and consultant. She serves on the governing boards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Broad Institute, the Kaiser Family Foundation, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, and the Mind and Life Institute, as well as on national advisory boards.
Trustworthy leadership "begins and ends with leaders who can question themselves," she said, noting that she found that the contemplative disciplines helped her quiet her heart and stabilize her mind. With mindfulness as an ally, she found herself grounded in a truth she described as joining her ability to integrate knowledge, "with skillfulness at integrating self as knower, mind, body, heart and spirit. If I couldn't trust myself, I realized, how could I ask others to trust me?"
Serendipitously, she noted, "gentle emissaries from the contemplative traditions…would appear from time to time and extend to me a fresh invitation to slow down and pay attention." Among these were His Holiness the Dalai Lama, whom she first met in 1997 as a fellow faculty member at a conference. Thich Nhat Hanh led a retreat for several hundred of his followers at Wellesley during her tenure as president. There were others, including Mahatma Gandhi's grandson, who joined a conference at the college in honor of his grandfather. Chapman Walsh suggested that "it was in part these visitations from the East that guided me to the teaching that ignorance lies at the root of suffering and to see my evolving contemplative practice not as a religious or spiritual gesture but as a doorway to learning. I was learning a new way of being in the world, of cultivating a mindful and ethical integrity."
Chapman Walsh emphasized that importantly for us and our students, "the secularization of the contemplative practices and their gradual grounding in scientific research have moved them out of the realm of religion and unquestioning faith and into the realm of education, open for investigation and critique." The simple "being there" aspect of mindfulness is one of its great assets in the academy, its cultivation of qualities of concentration, reflection, self-observation, compassion, deeper engagement with the material-all skills requiring nothing in the way of [religious] belief. But rather building emotion regulation and sustained attention." She underscored that "we have mounting scientific evidence of the importance of these skills for success, in school and life."
Mindfulness was not simply a personal path, she said, but one that enabled her to "embody the role of the president with fuller integrity." Emboldened by this discovery, Chapman Walsh became more public in her pursuit of questions about how what she called "a truly integrative education might join body, mind, and spirit for whole human beings seeking knowledge in all its complexity, all its mystery. I was out on a limb. And it was out there that I began to encounter the friends and colleagues who would encourage me on."
Among them were her meditation teacher, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Lesley's 2012 Sonnabend fellow and friend, and recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from Lesley in 2011. Another was Arthur Zajonc, the Amherst physicist, and now President of Mind and Life, who moved her with his arguments for a radical vision of education as transformation.
Circling back to Lesley, Chapman Walsh said, "I see you opening spaces for your students to become increasingly mindful of our immense capacity as humans, to find and awaken the best in ourselves and one another. And I see you doing that in part by advancing the emerging academic field of mindfulness and contemplative studies.''
Turning to her most recent encounter with the Dalai Lama, Chapman Walsh noted that His Holiness was instrumental in founding The Mind and Life Institute to bridge the gap between the first-person, phenomenological perspective of the world's contemplative traditions, and the third-person, objectivism perspective of Western science, with its increasingly powerful methodologies and tools for probing the mind. She offered a glimpse into last summer's dialogue in Southern India with the Dalai Lama and other thinkers, on bringing Western science into the Indian monastic curriculum.
Near the end of a week of conversation, said Chapman Walsh, His Holiness "spoke of his dream of an educational initiative throughout the world that would teach what he calls 'secular ethics' as a means to reduce human suffering and promote human flourishing." Chapman Walsh, who was moderating the proceedings at the time, said she felt like he was speaking to her, and through her to the Mind and Life Institute, and on to the larger educational community.
"And so I'm here to pass the charge along to you," she said. Lesley faculty, she noted "have been opening spaces for your students to become increasingly mindful of our immense capacity as humans. I see you doing that in part by advancing the emerging academic field of mindfulness and contemplative studies."
How blessed we are at Lesley University to have been visited by this gentle emissary from the world of possibility. May Diana Chapman Walsh's visit last evening be the first of many encounters with her as we continue to develop our mindfulness offerings.
