A Recovered Los Cabos – Hacienda Encantada
Los Cabos – Beauty, Warmth and Fun at Hacienda Encantada
I don't live that far from Mexico – a few hours' drive and I could be over the California border. During the last few years we've heard all sorts of terrible things happening to our neighbor country. Between the violence and devastating Hurricane Odile, it just hasn't been on the top of my list to visit. And that's a shame really. Mexico has given me much joy for many, many years – from cheap party weekends in college, communing with wildlife while camping along Baja, surfing trips on the Sea of Cortez, to romantic getaways in its resorts. That's a lot of joy.
Despite its recent high ranking in Condé Nast Traveler, I didn't hold high expectations when I received the invitation to stay at Hacienda Encantada, Los Cabos. The area had been wrecked by Hurricane Odile just this last September and I was expecting half-assed recovery. I was wrong.
Double sized veranda
The first surprise came as I exited the plane into a new San Jose del Cabo terminal with sleek modern design – heading down the corridor to the exit the Los Cabos message was literally on the wall in a huge sign that read, "We are Back and Moving ahead. Continuing to serve you."
"OK Cabo," I thought, "game on."
The Hacienda Encantada is family owned with roots deeply set in the Mexican soil. According to Gabriel Ibarra Macias, Commercial Director, two of his uncles started Carlos & Charlie's and Señor Frog's. Very familiar names to anyone who's spent time in the youngster hotspots of Mexico – me included. So, when the hotel shuttle took me up the long resort driveway, I was impressed by where my ill-spent-youth dineros had gone. Terraced on a cliff overlooking the Sea of Cortes on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other, it's hard not to get a great view from any angle. There is actually an ocean vista from both front, back and side, as the resort is set on the end of a peninsula. People have complained about limited beach access, which is sort of true – the resort area on the beach is rocky and not ideal for beach swimming, but perfect if you like wildlife, tide pools and the peace that comes from being on an isolated strip of the coastline.
My suite was massive with a full living area, 2 bathrooms, en suite bedroom and furnished with colorful and elegant pieces of Mexican folkloric art, yet had a home-spun welcoming warmth. My bags were barely in my room when I was greeted by staff in the suite's fully appointed kitchenette for a lesson on how to properly make guacamole – they cracked open a beer for me and left me munching on my guac, which I took out to the doublewide veranda. And oh my. What a view of everything. The vast expanse of azure ocean, the curving crystalline pool with bar cabana and the rolling hills leading to Cabo Marina in the distance. All citified worry, stress, yadda yadda rolled off into the ether not to be felt again for the three glorious days of my stay. And damn, that guac was good.
You can book at Hacienda Encantada as an all inclusive or just the room itself — they also have a time share packages. I was on the all inclusive deal and it worked out well, just be sure to have your room number and sign off on any meals or purchases at the end of each transaction. There is a big variety of rooms with more being built. If you can swing it, the private villas are jaw dropping and open out to the cliffs and ocean, but really, anywhere is good at this resort.
The property serves all meals at its terrace style restaurant, where there is a buffet or a la carte and has a simple mix of Mexican and American foods on offer. If you get a chance to order atole, the Mexican porridge/hot cocoa beverage – do it. They make an excellent version. You also have the El Patio pool bar for tasty, but basic choices (the chicken quesadilla is outstanding) as well as the upper pool bar/restaurant, La Pergola, for sushi. The owners are also proprietors of a few restaurants downtown and the all inclusive covers those as well. The dinners are of a higher caliber than what I expected from an all-inclusive, and if you want to wow your date and your palate, Chef Jose Luis showcases his seventeen years of talent at the resort's La Trajnera restaurant.
I'm not big on spas, but the Milagro Holistic Spa is one is worth mentioning. It was the best message I've ever had and in compliment with the hot stone treatment I chose, it gave my chronically pained back a few days of respite. My travel partners had excellent reviews for the Mayan Massage and the Sports Deep Tissue Massage – I'm guessing all the treatments are good. The spa itself is small, clean, staffed by friendly, professional people and conveniently located onsite.
The property hosts various events and entertainment – ranging in Mexican folk dancing with a buffet and infused tequila bar (good stuff), cooking classes, exercise groups, and a range of pool activities. It's family friendly, but not overrun with children. If you plan on bringing your kids, do not expect a Disney Cruises type of situation, but do expect plenty of time to hang with them at the pool, explore the town and have some off-property adventures.
Los Cabos has plenty to do – from the debauchery of bar hopping in Cabo San Lucas to water sports, fishing, horseback riding, whale watching, and whatever usual resort fun you can think up. I was there in the height of whale season and whale watching was a no-brainer choice. Our group went out on a large pontoon for a Photo Safari with Cabo Adventures. There's a water activities terminal area on the docks where you can take your pick
from the many activities they offer. If you are whale watching, it's fun, but not a smooth ride – probably not the best pick for those that get easily sea sick. I've been on larger crowded double deck boats where people jostle for the best position on the guard rails and the pontoon was by far a better alternative for photography. You are very close to the water and share a seat with only one other person – it's also a fun ride when it picks up speed, not unlike a banana boat. Do bring sun block, do bring a hat, and even if it's sunny – do bring a windbreaker (you get wet). The whale watching guide was well versed on the animals and we had several sightings, including three breathtaking full breaches. He also dropped an aquatic mike into the ocean so we could hear the whales communicating. The guide and the captain maintained a respectful distance from the whales, which the animal lover in me appreciated – but I also have to say when we returned from the adventure, some of my joy was deflated when I noticed they have a lonely dolphin in captivity back at their marine center.
Within walking distance to the marina is Hacienda Encantada's lively sister property, Marina Fiesta. And a fiesta it is – where Hacienda Encantada is a haven for relaxation and rest, Marina Fiesta is located in the Golden Zone (party time) of Cabo, which can be accessed via the shuttle from Hacienda Encantada. Though the property is well appointed, clean and stylish – the crowd is zesty and seemed to congregate at the pool bar. I would imagine if you want to get a full Cabo experience in a few days, spend the first at Marina Fiesta and then book recovery days at Hacienda Encantada.
In all honesty, though the area is still in recovery from the brutal beating it took from Hurricane Odile – the state of repair you see here and there looks pretty much like every trip I've taken to Mexico. Building in process is just a part of the normal fabric of daily life in this country. The Hacienda Encantada actually withstood the onslaught much better than many of the other resorts in Los Cabos. They had some roof work and landscaping to fix, but dried out and were up and running within weeks.
Before starting any repairs, the owners of Hacienda Encantada first assisted the staff who had been affected by Odile — which draws back to the familial base of the resort and reflects the authentic kindness and care that represents the people of Los Cabos. The resort is family owned and it shows – you will not get the typical Americanized cookie-cutter experience of the tourist world when you are there. Instead, you are drawn in – like joining a warmhearted family and being pampered through thoughtfulness and consideration.

text: I think the information in this book addresses the "feeling" side of having a child with ASD. It is good to reflect on what is available and how to handle a problem that someone has had direct experience. It can help raise questions and provide answers to reduce a parent's anxiety. It is written as daily inspirational advice and so the book can be easily read over a period of time. A nice alternative for busy families. I am the author of the My Baby Compass series and I would have recommended this book had it been published before my publications were finished.

Safety warning ahead of Halloween
Children and parents are being urged to exercise caution around "extremely dangerous" fireworks and bonfires this Halloween.
Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) has launched a video message, which is available to view on YouTube, as part of the 'Be Safe, Be Seen' safety awareness campaign ahead of the busy Halloween period.
Pat Fleming, the Chief Fire Officer with DFB, said Halloween is one of their "busiest nights of the year", and they are asking people to "exercise common sense".
"Adults in particular are requested to keep a watchful eye on the very young, the very old, and the vulnerable members of our society," he added.
"It is a fun night and should be enjoyed by all."

Picture: Howard Stern, Beth Ostrosky New York Premiere of 'Crazy Love' held at the Beekman Theatre New York City, USA - 22.05.07
American shock jock Howard Stern landed himself in trouble with SEAN 'P DIDDY' COMBS this week (begs21JUL03) after asking the temperamental rap mogul if his ex-lover Jennifer Lopez has cellulite.
The mop-haired DJ was interviewing BAD BOY records boss Diddy on his nationwide radio show when his line of questioning veered towards the intimate secrets of the rapper's former squeeze.
After first asking if J.LO shaved her bikini line, Stern quizzed, "Has she got a cottage cheese a**?"
An irritated Diddy fired back, "Don't ask more J.Lo questions. That a** belongs to someone else now."24/07/2003 02:20

The Park County Ice Cats bantam team won the state B championship earlier this month.
On March 7 they defeated the Casper Oilers B team 8-3, and the Rock Springs Miners 6-3. They clinched the title by beating Rock Springs again 6-2 on March 8.
Head coach Jeff Harris said his team peaked at the perfect time. The Ice Cats went 7-8-1 in league play, Harris said, but stepped it up for the state tourney.
"It took a while for the kids to understand game plans and how to play as a team but as the season progressed they got better," he said. "They practiced well and played games well."
In the first tourney game, Jack Harris opened the scoring for the Ice Cats with an unassisted goal 4:23 into the action. He scored twice more in the game to earn a hat trick.

Remember When We Could Cruise and Drag
As I was listening to our oldies station, they were talking about the big June event in Modesto, with all the old cars, music groups, car shows and cruisin down the main drag. For those of you who don�t know Modesto is where the inspiration for American Graffiti came from and that movie brings back memories for all of us who love cars.
Between hearing the info on that event and reading about drag and bracket racing, made me think back to my high school days, I know amazing at my age that I can actually still remember them!
While no one ever condoned street racing we all know it took place. Even more than street racing, I can remember spending all day Saturday, washing, waxing, polishing and cleaning the inside of the car so it was in tip shop shape Saturday night to cruise with.
For so many of us back then there were places to go and show off our cars. We had streets to cruise on and show off our cars. And yes, we also had those places where we drag raced them.
But we also had tracks you could go to and drag race on. I can remember, Central Islip�s and National Speedway to name a couple. Today�s car lovers don�t really have that luxury. Maybe some areas of the country do, but here in California for the most part it is gone. Not the tracks, but the ability for the average Joe to use them for fun. The police here have curfews and don�t want any kind of cruising activity to take place. Drags have been outlawed on the roads, as well they should. However, the raceways (the ones that are left), won�t even accommodate those who wish to drag race. They are strictly for those with the big bucks and the big buck drag racing cars.
What a shame, as I know of many kids who would love to have an outlet or place to go to show off their car and their skills as drivers. Like so much else today, it is just another bastion we have lost. Very sad to those of us who grew up in an era when all of this and much more was available.
So for those of us who have the memories of what it used to be like, be sure to share those with the youth around you today and let them live vicariously through you.
We would love to hear your stories, drop us an email so we can put yours up on the site today.

The role of Russian speaking broadcasters large to reconcile the conflict of a number of Western countries with Russia, caused philosophical dispute, said the Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on international Affairs Konstantin Kosachev.
«I am convinced that the conflict between Russia and a certain part of the world… to the West of Russia… it really comes down to a dispute about what should be managed peace: the power of law or law of force», — said Kosachev in the International multimedia press center MIA «Russia today» on Friday in the International forum of Russian-speaking broadcasters.
He said that Russia stands for control of the world by force of law. However, in the West conflict with Russia trying to pass off either for geopolitical or as a value that does not correspond to reality.
«It is very important that this position of ours came to… those people who live in a world of unbiased, undistorted… Your work, of course, must serve to eventually overcome the existing disagreements between Russia and the outside world,» he added.
The third annual international forum of Russian-speaking broadcasters under the title «Russian-language broadcasting in the context of increasing role of information in the world» held in the International multimedia press center MIA «Russia today» on Friday.
The forum is organized by the Russian Academy of Radio (RAR) supported by the Federal Agency for press and mass communications and with the assistance of the Department of information and press of the Russian foreign Ministry. Objectives of the forum is to promote an objective image of Russia abroad, raising the level of literacy and Russian language proficiency in the foreign media, the promotion of Russian culture and Russian language. The forum aims to strengthen international cooperation among representatives of radio and telecourses broadcasting in Russian language in Russia, CIS and far abroad.

Afghan War Diary - Reading guide
The Afghan War Diary (AWD for short) consists of messages from several important US military communications systems. The messaging systems have changed over time; as such reporting standards and message format have changed as well. This reading guide tries to provide some helpful hints on interpretation and understanding of the messages contained in the AWD.
Most of the messages follow a pre-set structure that is designed to make automated processing of the contents easier. It is best to think of the messages in the terms of an overall collective logbook of the Afghan war. The AWD contains the relevant events, occurrences and intelligence experiences of the military, shared among many recipients. The basic idea is that all the messages taken together should provide a full picture of a days important events, intelligence, warnings, and other statistics. Each unit, outpost, convoy, or other military action generates report about relevant daily events. The range of topics is rather wide: Improvised Explosives Devices encountered, offensive operations, taking enemy fire, engagement with possible hostile forces, talking with village elders, numbers of wounded, dead, and detained, kidnappings, broader intelligence information and explicit threat warnings from intercepted radio communications, local informers or the afghan police. It also includes day to day complaints about lack of equipment and supplies.
The description of events in the messages is often rather short and terse. To grasp the reporting style, it is helpful to understand the conditions under which the messages are composed and sent. Often they come from field units who have been under fire or under other stressful conditions all day and see the report-writing as nasty paperwork, that needs to be completed with little apparent benefit to expect. So the reporting is kept to the necessary minimum, with as little type-work as possible. The field units also need to expect questions from higher up or disciplinary measures for events recorded in the messages, so they will tend to gloss over violations of rules of engagement and other problematic behavior; the reports are often detailed when discussing actions or interactions by enemy forces. Once it is in the AWD messages, it is officially part of the record - it is subject to analysis and scrutiny. The truthfulness and completeness especially of descriptions of events must always be carefully considered. Circumstances that completely change the meaning of an reported event may have been omitted.
The reports need to answer the critical questions: Who, When, Where, What, With whom, by what Means and Why. The AWD messages are not addressed to individuals but to groups of recipients that are fulfilling certain functions, such as duty officers in a certain region. The systems where the messages originate perform distribution based on criteria like region, classification level and other information. The goal of distribution is to provide those with access and the need to know, all of the information that relevant to their duties. In practice, this seems to be working imperfectly. The messages contain geo-location information in the forms of latitude-longitude, military grid coordinates and region.
The messages contain a large number of abbreviations that are essential to understanding its contents. When browsing through the messages, underlined abbreviations pop up an little explanation, when the mouse is hovering over it. The meanings and use of some shorthands have changed over time, others are sometimes ambiguous or have several meanings that are used depending on context, region or reporting unit. If you discover the meaning of a so far unresolved acronym or abbreviations, or if you have corrections, please submit them to email@example.com.
An especially helpful reference to names of military units and task-forces and their respective responsibilities can be found at http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ops/enduring-freedom.htm
The site also contains a list of bases, airfields http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/afghanistan.htm Location names are also often shortened to three-character acronyms.
Messages may contain date and time information. Dates are mostly presented in either US numeric form (Year-Month-Day, e.g. 2009-09-04) or various Euro-style shorthands (Day-Month-Year, e.g. 2 Jan 04 or 02-Jan-04 or 2jan04 etc.).
Times are frequently noted with a time-zone identifier behind the time, e.g. "09:32Z". Most common are Z (Zulu Time, aka. UTC time zone), D (Delta Time, aka. UTC + 4 hours) and B (Bravo Time, aka UTC + 2 hours). A full list off time zones can be found here: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/military/
Other times are noted without any time zone identifier at all. The Afghanistan time zone is AFT (UTC + 4:30), which may complicate things further if you are looking up messages based on local time.
Finding messages relating to known events may be complicated by date and time zone shifting; if the event is in the night or early morning, it may cause a report to appear to be be misfiled. It is advisable to always look through messages before and on the proceeding day for any event.
David Leigh, the Guardian's investigations editor, explains the online tools they have created to help you understand the secret US military files on the war in Afghanistan: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/datablog/video/2010/jul/25/afghanistan-war-logs-video-tutorial
Understanding the structure of the report
- The message starts with a unique ReportKey; it may be used to find messages and also to reference them.
- The next field is DateOccurred; this provides the date and time of the event or message. See Time and Date formats for details on the used formats.
- Type contains typically a broad classification of the type of event, like Friendly Action, Enemy Action, Non-Combat Event. It can be used to filter for messages of a certain type.
- Category further describes what kind of event the message is about. There are a lot of categories, from propaganda, weapons cache finds to various types of combat activities.
- TrackingNumber Is an internal tracking number.
- Title contains the title of the message.
- Summary is the actual description of the event. Usually it contains the bulk of the message content.
- Region contains the broader region of the event.
- AttackOn contains the information who was attacked during an event.
- ComplexAttack is a flag that signifies that an attack was a larger operation that required more planning, coordination and preparation. This is used as a quick filter criterion to detect events that were out of the ordinary in terms of enemy capabilities.
- ReportingUnit, UnitName, TypeOfUnit contains the information on the military unit that authored the report.
- Wounded and death are listed as numeric values, sorted by affiliation. WIA is the abbreviation for Wounded In Action. KIA is the abbreviation for Killed In Action. The numbers are recorded in the fields FriendlyWIA, FriendlyKIA, HostNationWIA, HostNationKIA, CivilianWIA, CivilianKIA, EnemyWIA, EnemyKIA
- Captured enemies are numbered in the field EnemyDetained.
- The location of events are recorded in the fields MGRS (Military Grid Reference System), Latitude, Longitude.
- The next group of fields contains information on the overall military unit, like ISAF Headquarter, that a message originated from or was updated by. Updates frequently occur when an analysis group, like one that investigated an incident or looked into the makeup of an Improvised Explosive Device added its results to a message.
- OriginatorGroup, UpdatedByGroup
- CCIR Commander's Critical Information Requirements
- If an activity that is reported is deemed "significant", this is noted in the field Sigact. Significant activities are analyzed and evaluated by a special group in the command structure.
- Affiliation describes if the event was of friendly or enemy nature.
- DColor controls the display color of the message in the messaging system and map views. Messages relating to enemy activity have the color Red, those relating to friendly activity are colored Blue.
- Classification contains the classification level of the message, e.g. Secret

PCC reports that two individuals were assassinated in Gurbuz just before 0230Z/0700L this morning at WB 87 85. One of the individuals was identified as Habib Shah who was KPF. The other was his cousin Kasi Shah. Two men were arrested and confessed to killing the KPF soldier. The two men were named Omar and Wazir, they were arrested with two AK-47s and are currently being held at the ANP HQ in Khowst City.
The following debrief is from the FOB Chapman Daily Security Meeting held on 07 May 2008, ANP was not present during the meeting:
KPF reported that this morning at approximately 07:25 a KPF solider was shot dead on the way to work. The soldier was identified as Habib ((SHAH)) s/o Mohamed ((HASAN)). The solider and his cousin were killed when a white station wagon drove up to them near the Shamal Bridge and began shooting. Eye witnesses (small boys in the area) advised the ANP of their description and they were subsequently able to locate the suspects and apprehend them. They are currently in custody at the Gurbaz District Center.
KPF then reported that yesterday that a KPF patrol was ambushed while on the way to BCP 10, near Mirsapir, Spera District. Unfortunately, a KPF solider was killed in the exchange. The solider was identified as Kamil ((KHAN)) s/o Jahan ((SHAH)); the body was turned over to family members this morning.
ANP representative was not present this morning, probably due to the shooting this morning at the Shamal Bridge.
NDS learned that approximately 70 ACM, commanded by Toor ((KHAN)), from Surkah Village in Spera District are being housed at the Atah Khel Madrassa in Rezu Village, Speara. NDS stated this group is armed with both heavy and light weapons. This group is apparently being trained by two Mullahs who are identified as ((AZIZULLAH)) and Torin ((GUHL)). NDS wasnt able to provide a specific time or method of any intended attack.
Another group of 20-30 ACM was reported to be located at the Asar Khel Madrassa which is located in the Spera District. The commander is identified as Talib ((NOOR ZAMAN)). The HQN commander in this area is assessed to be Zangin ((ZADRAN)).
NDS also advised that 40 more ACM fighters are located at Shinkai Mountain, in the Shamal District. Source stated he observed these fighters while cutting fire wood in the area. An unidentified individual approached source and advised him to stop what he was doing and move on, and asked that he not reveal what he saw here. NDS opined that these three groups could be planning a coordinated attack against the Spera District Center.
Lastly, NDS reported that 105 ACM fighters, commanded by ((SAKHIJAN)) who is from Almrah Village, Nadir Shah Kot District, are located at their HQ in Alrazmak, Miram Shah in the Barbari Compound near the Razmak Bus Station in Miram Shah City. They apparently have one black Hilux and one white station wagon. Their weapons inventory consists of 5 PKs, 2 RPGs and other small arms. This group is supposedly funded by Siraj ((HIQANNI)). Their intentions are to carry out ground assaults on various border checkpoints located in the southern parts of Khost Province. Most of the fighters are reported to be from the Wazri Tribe in Pakistan.
End of report.

In this current economy there are more people who are visiting Starbucks less and slowly becoming their own Barista. The savings that this approach offers, as well as the overall enjoyment of creating your own perfect cup of coffee, makes it a very rewarding experience. In this post we will look at 3 large tips to help you in your endeavor of making great coffee at home!
One of the most important ingredients of coffee is water. As a matter of fact, coffee is 98% water. It doesn't take much explanation to understand that great coffee starts with great water. Some people have great water in their home already, but more often than not most water that runs into people's homes is more than just water.
Items such as Chlorine, Calcium, Fluoride, Iron and more can drastically change the taste of coffee. If you are striving for the perfect cup of joe, then take the time to start with the perfect cup of water. That might mean investing in a small filter for as needed use, or installing a whole system for your entire home. Whichever you choose, you will notice a difference in your coffee.
The other important factor that water has on coffee is its temperature. A properly brewing temperature of water exists in the range between 200F – 210F. In this range the grounds of the bean are heated to a perfect temperature to allow maximum release of flavor. If you get too hot, say boiling, then you will end up burning the bean and creating a more bitter flavor. The important thing to remember is that you want to get as close to boiling without actually allowing the water to boil for the best temperature.
The Beans
This is a very subjective area, whether your tastes lie in mild, medium or dark roasts you are sure to find your perfect flavor with some experimentation. I would recommend going to your local coffee shop and grocery stores and asking for some samples of different flavors. Once you find the perfect flavor, you can also ask them to grind it for you as well.
The bean, much like any other organic material is best at the peak of its ripeness. And the flavor is kept best when the coffee is still in bean form. Once it is ground, the coffee has a limited life, and that life is more rapidly depleted when it is exposed to air. So, if you are going to get pre-ground coffee make sure you have a way to keep the air out of its storage container.
The other option is to buy whole beans and grind them as you need them. A typical coffee grinder will work fine, but you will want to make sure that you are grinding the bean to the correct size. If the grind is too course you won't get the right flavor, and if it is too fine you may get a poor flavor. The trick is to learn the right grind, through guidance and experience, and then stick with it.
Method of Brewing
There are many ways to brew coffee, the percolator, typical home coffee maker, french press, and many more. The main purpose of the brewing of coffee is to extract as much flavor from the bean as possible. There are definitely methods which are better than others at this process.
The most successful method of achieving that goal is using french press. The french press allows for the ground beans to float in the perfect temperature of water to fully extract all the flavor of the bean. A good french press could easily run you $50 and will only brew 2-4 cups at a time. Obviously, there are times when you need much more coffee than that, and creating it all in a french press is just not practical.
In those cases where a french press is not practical, your next best solution is the conventional home coffee maker. I am referring the Mr. Coffee and Bunn line of coffee makers. When it comes to these lines of machines, there is a clear leader in extracting the flavor of the bean. The drip method doesn't allow the ground bean to dwell in the perfect temperature as long as it should, so the taste won't be as great. Some coffee maker companies, however, have devised methods to increase the flavor released from the bean. One of the best in this area is the Bunn.
Bunn uses a special process, where it introduces 210F degree water into the basket with a swirling motion. The swirling motion allows for the beans to float and release as much flavor as is possible with a conventional coffee machine. Additionally, the Bunn offers one of the fastest brew times available. If you are going to buy a conventional coffee maker, try to steer towards a higher end model that is focused on doing the job right!
No matter what, savor and enjoy the experience of making great coffee at home!

Growth data shows Indiana's public schools still outperform charter and private schools
Steve Hinnefeld writes today on his School Matters blog about the misconception pushed by school choice advocates that students who attend charter and private schools will receive a better education than public schools.
Hinnefeld took the Department of Education 2012-2013 growth data and ranked public schools versus private and charters. He found:
- For Indiana's 1,400-plus public schools, the median score – the value at which half the scores are higher and half are lower – was at the 51st percentile in math and the 50th in English. That's about what you'd expect: Most Indiana schools are public schools, so naturally the median score will be in the middle.
- For private schools reporting growth scores, median scores were at the 46th percentile in English and only the 40th percentile in math.
- For charter schools, median scores were at the 46th percentile in English and only at the 36th percentile in math.
Despite the several disadvantages public schools have over the private and charter schools, they still outperform. You can read Hinnefeld's full post here.

Egg chair and Bracelet beads
My brother Dean and I were born at NYGH. When I was born they put me in the NICU and took care of me. They also fixed my Daddy's foot there too. They took good care of my grandmother when she was very sick and gave her the treatment she needed and made her as comfortable as possible. As part of a school project I went back to NYGH to give the doctors and nurses a hug and to thank them for their hard work. I love the people at NYGH!
Because I love to make bracelets and I wanted a cool new chair.

A lovely car to drive and easy to look after... Large enough to fit a 5 adults comfortably - especially good when playing skipper on a night out! Reliable and easy on the petrol about 450-500 kms from a full tank. Air conditioning kicks in really well during summer! Small enough to fit it into tight parking spots.

Sadly, Beautiful Days ended a couple of days ago. These few days are always a bit of a downer.
However, we're still in festival mode as we're back at the campsite and in our bigger tent (after an initial glitch where all of us had to "sleep" in the two man tent that MrM had pitched on a slope, meaning a night of sliding into each other and then getting cross – the incident even included an episode where MrM drove over a bag of toiletries in the van), we put up the bigger tent and all is well again.
In fact, the McBaby is so insistent in continuing the party that every time he sees me barefoot, he'll run off to get my wellies and then will bring them to me and try to put them on my feet.
In his countdown yesterday, he forgot to share some of the funny things he saw at the festival. The first one was not amusing for him but hilarious to watch. The McBaby thoroughly enjoyed Sinead O'Connor, but was not so keen on the headliners Ocean Colour Scene. What a philistine.
Anyway, he proceeded to bawl so loudly that a woman came over and started stroking his head. "I own a nursery," she said, comforting him and massaging his eyebrows. Well after The Riverboat, he was still screaming, so she looked at me and said: "No, can't fix this one." I knew he cried more than anyone else – people always say that your own child's screaming sounds louder, but I don't think that's true and it was good to have it confirmed by someone with experience in childcare!
On a better note, he likes to hide under A-boards and was joined by a lovely little boy when he was under a sign advertising pizzas. You may know that the McBaby is a quarter Chinese and has slightly Asian features. This little boy did too and I wonder if that's what caused them to have an affinity (apart from their desire to sit under an A-board). From laughing together and playing with the chain, they started pointing at each other's noses and then the McBaby gave him a big kiss and cuddle! He never does that to me, but never mind. They had a lot of fun until the McBaby started to point out his new friend's eyes as well as nose and then the boy's dad took him away.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is already one of the prettiest theme parks in the country, so it doesn't really take much to make it truly spectacular. Millions of sparkly Christmas lights and decorations?
Yep, that'll do it.
From late November through the end of the year (check calendar here), the park transforms into Christmas Town. Everything is draped in lights and other decorations, shops turn into Christmas stores, and all of the shows switch to different holiday-themed shows, among other changes.
On the surface, these are all remarkable changes that really beautify the park and put you in the ol' holiday spirit. But are all of the changes good? Is the event worth it? Let's dig a little deeper.
The Lands
The Christmassy spirit is immediately on view in the park's entrance area: England. The street is draped in lights, the building facades are covered to look like Scrooge's London, and Big Ben is all-a-twinkly. The restaurant here is now Dickens' Tavern, and the store is the Christmas Town Shoppe.
Once the sun goes down, there's even "snowfall" right in front of the Globe Theater, which is very cool since it falls down on the carolers stationed there.
Two other lands underwent significant rethemes. Germany has become the North Pole, and the shop here is transformed into Santa's Workshop. Also, Festa Italia is now Holiday Hills. Similar holiday dining and shopping are in both.
The remaining lands—Scotland, Ireland, France, New France, Oktoberfest, and Italy—are certainly decked out for the season, but they haven't been rethemed.
Unfortunately, both of the kids areas—Land of Dragons and Sesame Street Forest of Fun—are closed off completely. We were very disappointed in that.
The Escape from Pompeii ride has been turned into the Polar Pathway—which is, admittedly, a fairly impressive sight.
The Shows
Scrooge No More is showing in the newly refurbished Globe Theater (normally home to London Rocks). It is probably the best of all the park's holiday shows. It's a musical retelling of A Christmas Carol, and it takes advantage of all of the Globe Theater's impressive technological updates. It's also just darn entertaining. This one is highly recommended.
We're huge fans of Busch Gardens' regular show Celtic Fyre, which is in Ireland's Abbey Stone Theatre. The holiday show here is Gloria!, which is a choral presentation of the first Christmas (also with a live band). We had heard rave reviews of this one, but it just didn't do it for us. Maybe it was the crush of people, maybe it was because the heat was turned all the way up, maybe it was because it was so overtly religious…whatever it was, this one just turned us off.
A Christmas version of the regular Celtic Fyre show would be amazing. Sadly, that's not what we've got.
Unfortunately, I can't even comment on the other two shows since we never even had a chance to see them (see The Crowds below). Miracles is in Italy's Il Teatro de San Marco Theatre, and it's a music-and-dance show set to traditional and contemporary Christmas tunes. Deck the Halls is in Oktoberfest's Das Festhaus and is "a live musical tribute to Christmas traditions." This one sounded promising, but we couldn't even get in to the building. (Again, see The Crowds).
Finally, something new and unique for Christmas Town is Ice Palace: A Penguin Paradise. It's the in the France area of the park and is basically a zoo attraction with a few penguins. The line snaked around the area for an hour and a half. We asked a few people coming out if it was worth the wait, and we got an emphatic no. Way too long of a wait to only see a handful of penguins in a small, crowded exhibit.
The Rides
Only 20 of the park's rides are open during Christmas Town, and almost all of them are for little kids. Only 1 of the 5 roller coasters (Vebolten) is running. And since there are so few rides up and running, the lines for all of them are unbelievably long. Don't go to Christmas Town to experience the rides. Visit during the regular season for that.
A full list of open attractions is here.
The Crowds
Ah, now we come to it. We visited on the first weekend of the season, and there was relatively mild weather for it. Perhaps this factored into the crowd situation. Either way, the crowds were horrendous. It was busier than any day I've ever visited—more so than any summer day.
Absolutely everything had a long line. Remember how we couldn't even get into Das Festhaus for the Deck the Halls show? That's because there was a one-hour snaking queue outside just to get inside the building.
There was literally nowhere in the park to escape the crowds even for a moment and just breathe. In the end, we just didn't have fun. And we weren't alone.
I talked to a few other families, and they had similar complaints: too many people, too many long lines, too many frustrations.
A lighter crowd would absolutely make the situation better and would even make this event a surefire recommendation. However, I'm not sure when/if there are lighter crowds. As it is, we love Busch Gardens and are Platinum Pass holders, but I doubt we'll return to Christmas Town.
Christmas Town is a specially ticketed event, meaning that even season ticket holders need to purchase separate admission. Thankfully, there was a promotion on deeply discounted tickets for the first few weekends. Otherwise, single-day tickets are $32 per person (slightly cheaper online).
Sadly, I can't recommend this one out of hand. If the crowds are manageable, it would be a great time. If the crowds are like they were during our visit, I can't recommend it.

With a 10.8 percent rise in deliveries for April, Mercedes-Benz managed to hit its 38th consecutive record month.
Daimler's division reported 164,063 vehicles sold worldwide in April, an increase of 10.8 percent compared with the same month from a year earlier. Thanks to this double-digit growth, unit sales of Mercedes-Benz amounted to around 650,000 units in the first four months of the year, marking a record for the period, beside the monthly higher-than-ever result. Regional-wise, the three-pointed star brand handed over 73,070 cars to its European customers, with homeland Germany accounting for 25,777 vehicles, 11.0 percent more than in the prior-year month.
The demand on the Chinese market – the largest one for the automaker – keeps pushing up Mercedes-Benz's results, with a 31.6 percent surge last month, up to 35,625 models sold. On its second most important region, US, sales were almost flat, but enough for April to see the gap widening from BMW and Lexus rivals. The marquee reported only a 0.2 percent rise in deliveries to a monthly record of 29,236 vehicles, helped by a 44.5 percent demand boost for its GLC and GLK SUVs.
The C-Class continued to be the bestseller from Mercedes-Benz, with sales of the sedan and estate body versions totaling 32,682 units in April, while the sales figures for the E-Class mid-sized premium saloon are starting to build up – 18,915 units – as the new model starts being delivered to customers.

Finally: Internet Fame And Recognition!
Finally, after many years of trying, I can say that I am Internet Famous! All the hard work has paid off, all the hours of slaving in front of a hot computer, writing, building links, conversing with other people has finally paid off. I have received the recognition that I deserve. Plato, that bastion of philosophical thinking, has seen my budding talents and decided, from all the millions of people out there, to add me, Viktoria Michaelis, to his small list of people he follows on Twitter.
Image Source: Twitter
Fine, he is not the only one: my Twitter list has grown massively over the last few days, since I started pruning it and heading off in my new direction, but to be one amongst only one thousand six hundred!
I don't think I'll be breaking out the champagne just yet. Let's see how the conversation with this great thinker and influence of generations goes first.
As if that isn't enough, just as I finished this I had another boost: Langston Hughes! Yes, the famous poet, social activist, novelist and playwright also decided to come from beyond the grave and follow me!
Love & Kisses, Viki.

Anne Shirley, a capricious and romantic young woman, becomes the active participant in many humorous incidents, in a collection of twelve tales set on Prince Edward Island
Publishers Description
On Prince Edward Island, where Anne Shirley grew up in the sea-sprayed town of Avonlea, there was no shortage of wonderful stories. There was the case of Ludovic Speed, who wouldn't propose to the woman he had courted for fifteen years until Anne devised a plan to "speed" him up . . . if it didn't backfire and break his heart. But no one could blame mischievous Anne for the hilarious battle of the sexes that erupted when a man-hating woman and her cat got quarantined in the same house with a woman-hating bachelor and his dog. From sprawling Penhallow Grange, where a family waits nearly forever for two quarreling lovers to break their stubborn silence, to the tumbledown farm of Old Man Shaw, who awaits the retum of his beloved daughter, L. M. Montgomery has written twelve tales of secret hopes and hidden dreams, filled with enchantment and humor.

Uganda's Centre for Media Literacy and Community Development (CEMCOD) has extended its Media and Information Literacy (MIL) expertise to Rwandan MIL partners, teachers and principals of schools managing media clubs in the country.
Prossy Kawala, CEMCOD's Director of Media initiatives in late July held two separate workshops at St. Paul's centre in Kigali that aimed to deepen both the teachers and partners' understanding of the concept of Media and Information Literacy.
She conducted the training on behalf of DW-Akademie, Germany's leading organization for international media development. DW Akademie, implements the project "Strengthening Media and Information Literacy (MIL) of the Youth" together with its various partners in Rwanda.
The workshops that combined theoretical inputs with practical exercises conveyed the general objectives of MIL and demonstrated ways of teaching MIL and how pupils can acquire MIL skills during media club lessons.
Participants at the trainings were drawn from MIL partners including Ejo Youth Echo (EYE), the Rwanda Community Radio Network (RCRN), Pax Press, and principals and teachers from 10 selected pilot schools with media clubs some of which included TTC De La Salle – Byumba, TTC Rubengera, College De Rebero, G.S Gihara and Apek among others.
Participants were introduced to key concepts of MIL, steps to MIL, media analysis and critical thinking skills and the internet and Social Media among others.
Ms. Kawala noted that as MIL practitioners and advocates, our work can only be strengthened by sharing and learning from each other, and our working relationship must extend beyond borders to create the type of change and community transformation we are collectively striving for in Africa.
Ms. Kawala is co-founder at Centre for Media Literacy and Community Development (CEMCOD). CEMCOD is a non-profit organization with a focus to bring about holistic growth and development by uplifting the status of vulnerable communities within Uganda through the provision of media, media-related, and direct community interventions.
The organization strengthens citizens' participation in governance issues and freedom of speech and is currently spearheading a Community Media for Governance and Development project which seeks to foster a diverse and thriving media landscape by strengthening citizen engagement, introducing community news reporting, and ensuring that the community is accountable to itself and other stakeholders.

Critics weigh in on Sam Katz's Arizona house purchase
Sam Katz should consider stepping down, says ex-adviser
Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz's purchase of a home from the sister of a Shindico executive has people talking, including a former adviser who suggests Katz should leave office.
CBC News reported on Thursday that Katz paid more than $1 million US to buy a house in Scottsdale, Arizona, last month from Teri Nordstrom, the sister of Shindico chief financial officer Diane Shindleman and sister-in-law of president Sandy Shindleman.
The transaction is raising eyebrows because Shindico has been involved in some controversial real estate deals with the City of Winnipeg in recent months, including a land swap involving several fire hall properties.
"My advice would be pick a date and start figuring out how to go with as much dignity as you possibly can," said Brian Kelcey, who once worked as a policy adviser to Katz.
Katz has repeatedly stated that his relationship with the Shindlemans does not constitute a conflict of interest.
On at least eight occasions, Katz was present when Shindico business was on the city hall agenda, and he has never recused himself in public meetings due to a conflict of interest involving the Shindlemans.
Real estate audit applauded
Council voted unanimously on Thursday in favour of a broad audit of the city's past real estate deals, in light of the fire hall land swap controversy.
The audit will review the city's real-estate transactions and policies going back at least five years, although Katz wanted the audit to cover the past 12 years.
Colin Craig of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation said council's unanimous vote on Thursday for an audit of the city's real estate transactions is a good step.
However, Craig said Katz should provide more information about his own real estate deals in Arizona.
"This is different from most other transactions," he said.
"You don't expect to know every single thing about a politician's life. But just given some of the other elements to this story, I think the public does deserve more information."
Katz refused to give more details about the Arizona house purchase, other than to say he paid fair market value for it.
Tighten conflict rules, says councillor
Meanwhile, at least one city councillor is calling on the Manitoba government to tighten its conflict-of-interest legislation for city council members.
The Municipal Conflict of Interest Act does not require members of council to disclose properties they own outside Winnipeg.
River Heights Coun. John Orlikow said he asked the province earlier this year to amend the act to require disclosure of properties within Manitoba.
But now, Orlikow said he will ask the province to make council members disclose properties they own anywhere in the world.
"It could be in Arizona, it could be in [the] Bahamas, it could be the Cayman Islands, it doesn't matter. It's not just for the mayor, but for all councillors," he said.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Katz had purchased an Arizona-based company, Duddy Enterprises, from Phil Sheegl, who is the City of Winnipeg's chief administrative officer.
That transaction does not appear on the mayor's statement of assets and interests, which has to be filed under the conflict-of-interest act.
While Katz owns 100 per cent of Duddy Enterprises, he said he did not need to declare it because "if there's potential land to be owned outside the province, you do not list it."
Katz said the company is currently not an active business, but he might use it in the future.
