If you're planning on traveling to California this summer, Lake Tahoe is a beautiful place to explore, especially if you enjoy being in nature and doing lots of outdoor activities like kayaking, hiking, swimming, and more.
A few years ago, my boyfriend and I road tripped with some friends up to Lake Tahoe for a long weekend away. It was a total blast, but certainly not without a few pitfalls here and there so I thought I would share my experience in this gorgeous Northern California lakeside vacation destination.
Your Travel Guide to Lake Tahoe, CA
How to Book Your Trip…
The first thing I wanted to mention is how we went about booking our trip and planning our stay in Lake Tahoe. Since we're all Southern California locals, we drove to Lake Tahoe, but if you're not local, I recommend using Expedia or Orbitz to book your flights. In my experience, both offer really competitive pricing and deals on both flights and hotel accommodations. Since we drove, I booked our hotel rooms through Orbitz and that's about it.
Where to Stay…
When we went to Lake Tahoe, we stayed at the Lake Tahoe Beach Retreat which was awesome. It's not the "best" place I've ever stayed at, but it's great if you want someplace nice, affordable, and close to the water. They have their own pier and beach. You can book a room with a sliding door that opens right onto a lake view which is what we did. It's a pretty central location and the hotel rooms include basic amenities. They also have a pool and spa and offer movie nights in the pool where they show family films on a blow up film projector. The one night we went to the spa to relax after a hike, they were playing Despicable Me. The Beach Retreat is very casual and family-friendly.
The Beach Retreat also has two restaurants: The Tavern and The Boathouse. The Tavern is a great spot to eat a decent breakfast before venturing out on your explorations. The Boathouse is right on the pier, but I honestly don't recommend it. It has the look of being an awesome place to eat, but the service is really bad and the food is not worth the price. It was extremely expensive and it took us nearly an hour to get our food. Granted, it was quite busy when we arrived, but still. An hour is a long time to wait for your food when you're starving and paying $20+ a plate. Also, I want to note that we stayed in South Lake Tahoe which is closer to Emerald Bay, the main attraction we wanted to see, but North Lake Tahoe boasts beautiful cabin lodge resorts you can visit in both summer and winter (for skiing) as well.
What to Do…
Lake Tahoe is a brilliant place to vacation to if you enjoy being active and exploring the great outdoors. It's a seriously beautiful place and you can enjoy a lot of what it has to offer without spending a fortune. The main things to do during the summer in Lake Tahoe are kayaking in Emerald Bay (a must!), hiking (this can fit into the former), swimming, boating, paddle boarding, and more. In the winter, they have winter sports like skiing and snow boarding, but we went in August so we did all the summer activities. We went for a 3-day weekend so much of what we wanted to do was planned ahead of time.
- Emerald Bay
- Hiking
- Boating
- SUPing (North Lake Tahoe)
- Kayaking
- Swimming
- Gambling at Harrah's Casino
The main thing we did was go to Emerald Bay which was incredible. You drive up this mountain and park (go early; parking is a bitch) and then, you can hike around to various waterfalls or to the top of the mountain to see a gorgeous view of the entire Lake Tahoe and Emerald Bay. It's very picturesque. We hiked up to take our photos and see the view, touch the water from the small waterfalls and then ventured down to the shore. The hike is about 20-30 minutes to get to the top and another 20-30 minutes to get to the shore so make sure you wear the proper shoes.
I would also recommend bringing a water proof bag if you plan on going kayaking. The hike down to the shore is through a stunningly green forest. Once you reach the shore, it's another gorgeous view of kayaking, docked boats, and swimmers. We opted to go kayaking once we got down to the shore side which was tons of fun, but there's a bit of a learning curve if it's your first time. I was the only one who had never been and I kept steering our kayak in the wrong direction. You can kayak around or to the little island in the center of Emerald Bay to explore more. If you plan on doing that, be sure to bring water shoes! We docked our kayaks on the island and wore no shoes. There are very large, porous rocks in the water that will cut up your feet if you aren't careful. Also, despite it being early August, the water was VERY cold so don't expect to stay in the water for a long time. That said, it was a total blast and the water was super clean and fresh after kayaking around in the sun. Definitely wear and keep a natural sunscreen with you because it's super easy to get sunburned and not realize it until it's too late.
Where to Eat…
While we were in Lake Tahoe, we tried to minimize the amount of driving around we did so we could maximize our time exploring the sights and enjoying the water, but we did eat at a few places. In my opinion, Lake Tahoe takes advantage of tourists by charging a ridiculous amount for not-so-good quality food. I think it cost over $40 for 4 of us to eat breakfast at a local diner which would be fine if the food was better. It's just not that great and the prices are clearly inflated. That said, food is food. I would avoid going to sushi restaurants, though. They're definitely over priced as all hell. One of the places we did really like for the price and quality was Yama Noodles, a local spot with delicious ramen bowls. It was great to enjoy after a long day of hiking and swimming in Emerald Bay. Lake Tahoe also has a few casinos and the one nearest us was Harrah's. We spent an evening there, had dinner at the casino buffet (delicious and pretty decent prices!), and then explored lines of slot machines and the kid's arcade as we're not big on gambling, but are big on DDR.
Overall, Lake Tahoe was such a fun time. It's a very affordable trip for local Californians to take if they're short on cash or a beautiful vacation destination for anyone looking to explore a more nature-centered location with stunning surroundings. The only major drawback was that the food wasn't very good, but everything else was pretty awesome and the experience was pretty priceless, in my opinion.

Without Yunjin-kim the character of Sun would not be the same. An actress was needed to portray a woman with severly high levels of empathy and strengh as well as the ability to come across as a loyal wife yet independent woman at the same time, which is never an easy task to fulfill.
She makes the role look effortless, a sign of any great actor.
Kim and her co-star who plays Jin are so good in their respective roles that you could easily believe they are a real life couple.
As the series progresses I expect her charcter to show her potential and come into the main focus much more.
Besides being a great actress she also looks wonderful too.
The sun always shines.

The National Urban Alliance for Effective Education, the Lancaster Amateur Radio Club (LARC), and the SUNY Buffalo State Whitworth Ferguson Planetarium have teamed up to arrange a contact between the International Space Station (ISS) and PS97 Harvey Austin School in the Buffalo, New York Public School System.
One of only 14 schools/organizations nationwide selected by Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS), this exciting project will afford the PS97 students the opportunity to have a scheduled contact with the crew on the ISS during the first half of 2016. This is a significant step in ARISS' continuing effort to engage young people in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) activities and raise their awareness of space exploration, space communications and related areas of study and career possibilities.
NUA mentor Lisa Neasbitt is coordinating this project. Lisa has over 30 years experience in science curriculum and instruction in both public schools as well as with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Track stars have revealed the secret to developing running speed. Most athletes simply run out of breath long before they need to stop running, because they aren't able to get the oxygen into their muscles fast enough. By taking deep breaths, and building up the supply of oxygen in your blood, you can prevent muscle cramps. As lactic acid builds up, and muscle fatigue sets in, untrained players think they've reached their limit.
Track teams, and well-coached basketball and football teams for that matter, train by sprinting short distances, over and over. It's not fun, but it works. After a few months of training, the lungs begin to process oxygen more efficiently, and players find that they can run long distances non-stop, or sprint for a longer period of time. Students must meet specific eligibility requirements each year to participate in Coffeyville Community College defensive line. Beyond consideration for Babson College sports apparel, you may think about Henrico County online open courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Moreover, neck pain is often accompanied by headaches, shoulder blade pain, stiff joints, tight neck muscles, and upper back pain – making even the simplest daily tasks difficult to perform. Fortunately, there are many do-it-yourself neck pain exercises which address and alleviate these symptoms. Best of all, you can engage in an effective neck exercise program from the comfort of your own home, since most of the exercises require little or no equipment. Click here to view our neck pain relief exercises Expert Recommended Neck Pain Exercises: In general, neck exercises can be divided into neck strengthening and neck stretching exercises. Neck strengthening exercises are great for relieving and preventing neck pain caused by poor sitting posture. To give your muscles time to repair themselves, these exercises should be performed every other day. Neck stretches are ideal for expanding your range of motion and for preserving elasticity in the affected joints. Neck stretches can be performed daily and even several times per day. People who benefit from neck pain exercises may suffer from any of the following symptoms/conditions: Stiff neck Decreased mobility Decreased range of motion Neck inflammation Neck pain with upper back pain Pinched nerve in the neck Arthritis Degeneration of the cervical spine Keep in mind that neck exercises should never be performed to the point of pain. Moreover, because so many different muscle groups affect the vertebrae of the neck, it's best to consult with a health professional before beginning a neck exercise program to make sure you are performing the right exercises in the right way. The following exercises have been proven to help relieve neck pain. They include resistive strengthening exercises which are a critical component in rehabilitating and strengthening muscles. Even individuals who suffer from chronic neck pain have shown progress from performing these exercises. Click here to view our neck pain relief exercises

There's just a week to go before I finally start my extended diploma in art and design course at Leicester College, and I must admit looking forward to it. We were set a summer assignment to create an A5 size postcard, with the front being a collage describing ourselves, and the reverse carrying the college address and a description of what we'd been doing over the summer.
I started work on it last week, and yesterday I finished my submission:
The base is an A5 size piece of 5mm foam board. Each of the main titles (aside from the depression label) was cut from stiff yardstick on Cricut machine using the Opposites cartridge. The 'fit to length' option was used so that the words interlocked within the spaces left to them. I cheated a bit with 'jobs' leaving a bit more space between each letter. Between 1-3 layers of letters were stuck down to give a variable height to each word. For the depression lettering, I drew round the Cricut cut letters and then carved them into the foam board with my craft knife.
Photos and pictures relevant to each theme were printed out on a colour laser printer and collaged using matte multi medium. Printing them out allowed me to adjust sizes to fit. Using laser printer allowed the use of water-based media without the colours running, which I have found occurs with my colour inkjet printouts. A final coat of matte multi-medium was painted over to seal.
I then tried several ways of highlighting the letters – dry brushing with gesso was meant to give a bleached out effect, but I wasn't happy with that. I then contemplated painting just the letters with watered down acrylics, but decided that was too fiddly. Eventually, I settled on using distress ink pads as a direct to paper technique, and allowed the ink to dry overnight before spraying with water-based gloss varnish (which did reactivate the distress ink in places).
On the reverse (not shown) I printed a stamp and postmark onto a sheet of A5 white card, complete with the address lines and a centre dividing line for that authentic postcard appearance. I also created a date postmark in Word, using WordArt and shapes, to read 'hand delivered by the artist' and the hand in date. Where the postcard description would be I put the following text: 'Hand built from foam board, creative juices, printouts, multi-medium and other crafty goodness. No paintbrushes were permanently harmed in the making of this card'.
Overall, I'm pleased with the results, and it bears a good likeness with my original concept sketched in my ideas book. Apparently it is to be used as an icebreaker when we all meet up for our induction next week.

Surrounded by divers, bubbles and of course, mantas! Everywhere we looked was something fantastic. Up to 7 giant mantas at one time swimming with us coming so close you could touch them. They soaked up our bubbles like a massage. You could tell they enjoyed it because they squinted and shuttered as the bubbles touched their undersides. We the German repeaters say it was Fantastisch!

It has long been my intention to make myself a Victorian corset. But I never got around to ordering a pattern for it. And I was convinced that I needed a pattern. However, after a long time I finally gave up and decided to go ahead and make one anyway. So I did. Since I didn't have a pattern I searched for some instructions online, there weren't many, but I did find some. And with that and the aid of some photos I found I managed to come up with this:
Since this was very much an experiment, I had no idea how it would turn out, I didn't want to spend so much money on it. And I didn't, I didn't spend any at all! The fabric I used I already had in my stash, and then I used some of the boning I had too. This boning was plastic, and it shouldn't have been that I suppose. But oh well. And then you're supposed to use busks for the front, but I didn't have that. So I decided to try and create something myself. I consulted my dad, and he suggested I'd use some of this metal thingie we had lying around.
We bent these bands, and they worked splendidly!
There are several things that I would do differently if I were to make another one (or when I make another one I should say). For example, I would make it smaller. Because as it is now I can wear it tightened as hard as it can be tightened. And that's not so good. But once again, oh well. For an experiment I am happy with it! And you know what, it is actually really comfortable to wear! 🙂
And so here are a few more pictures. My sister Viktoria was kind enough to take these for me.
The chemise and the drawers that I am wearing I have not made myself. I bought them somewhere and I don't know how suitable they are for this. But it works ok I think.
I tried climbing a tree, but the outfit wasn't the best for it… ;P
Now I'm busy working on another Victorian dress. I am almost done with the skirt by now, and I am so far extremely pleased with it! I'll share some pictures once that one is finished. 🙂

When redirecting child behavior, it is difficult to know how to phrase a request in the best possible manner that your child will understand.
Saying the words, "you can't" or "don't do that," to a child's is a request to challenge you and take that dare in a child's mind.
Parenting your child that they cannot do something makes them want to prove that they can, by telling you or showing you that it is, in fact, possible.
Telling a child not to do something makes them want to argue or rebel as they strive for their independence.

Curious Maple helps you understand that you as a parent must explain to your child the reason behind your statement. "You might fall and get hurt" or "If you don't hold my hand, we might get separated." Be specific in your request and help them learn why some things are off limits, rather than just that they are.
Maple visits her uncle Pete's farm and is told to stay away from the mare and foal. Maple challenges that dare. Go on an adventure with Maple as she goes in search of the mare and foal defying her uncle's wishes.
You might be surprised as to how it all turns out and what lesson uncle Pete learns.
Also enjoy an adventure on the farm as Maple goes in search of the mare and foal. Learn what job each animal plays on the farm.

seeking nanny share
Expand Messages
- I am new to the group and have a 6 1/2 month old boy. My husband has just started a new job and we are now in need of part-time help with childcare. We are looking for someone willing to work 2-3 days per week (2 full days + 1-2 half days). We are flexible in that both my husband and I work from home part time and can adjust our schedules to fit another family's needs. I live in Midway Woods. Please contact me via this e-mail if you would like to share a nanny or have recommendations or suggestions. We would be willing to ease into an arrangement in the next 8 weeks (with no childcare needs the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas) and then set up something more formal after the new year.

Trust and Toleration
Richard H. Dees - Trust and Toleration
Published: 2004-09-01 | ISBN: 0415329167, 0415758785 | PDF | 192 pages | 0.91 MB
Toleration would seem to be the most rational response to deep conflicts. However, by examining the conditions under which trust can develop between warring parties, it becomes clear that a fundamental shift in values - a conversion - is required before toleration makes sense. This book argues that maintaining trust is the key to stable practices of toleration.

1928 Buick MODEL 28-55 DELUXE SPORT open TOURING twin sidemounts.PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE U.K.
Ihave only had time to use the car 4 times so far this summer due to other commitments!She really needs to go to a good home to be used and cared for and is only for sale due to storage issues of such a large open top car. I also wish to increase my American motorcycle collection.!
1928 Buick MODEL 28-55 SPORT OPEN TOURING
Please note that this is NOT a standard small Buick tourer masquerading as a longer wheelbase model and that this cars body style and wheelbase is extremely rare (possibly one of only 2 or 3 left worldwide).
The original body plate and chassis tags are still intact on the car.
It is a very large and impressive MODEL 28-55 DELUXE SPORT TOURING MODEL with twin side mounts and a long 128" wheelbase and an additional 2 jump seats making her a 7 seater.It has an undocumented but interesting history having spent the majority of its life in Egypt, I recently traced and eventually spoke to the guy who owned it just after it was brought back from Egypt and he confirmed much of the story that came with the car, but is in his eighties and his memory wasnt what it used to be so I think some of the finer details need further research to confirm names and dates etc. As such the car is very solid.
Alledgedly ordered by the Egyptian government and assembled/bodied in London by General motors LTD, Edgeware Road, London before being shipped over to Cairo. Then supposedly used for Film work in Egypt later in its life, finally ending up as the Cairo fire chiefs parade car before being brought back to the UK.
She was fully restored on her return from Egypt in the late 1990s, but is now mellowed and does show a patina of use and light wear here and there again but she isstill a lovely old girl who will hold her own at any car show.She has several additional back up electric fuel pumps installed to ensure reliable starting and running and get over the usual vapour lock issues suffered by some cars of this era.The now has a period steel touring trunk mounted on the rear luggage rack which is in use to store the side screens and a few service spares ( car comes with a few little bits and pieces, condensors,spare plugs etc).Any questions are welcome, I have many more photographs if required.The car had a brand new large heavy duty 6 volt battery installed was UK mottested ( even though it is mot exempt! )just before being put into storage for the winter before lastChristmas.
original 4490cc 77hp straight 6 engine with3 speed manual gearbox,Electric starter,wooden artillery wheels with demountable rims with twin side mounted spares( 1 with spare rim)original rear luggage rack with period steel touring trunk7 seater with 2 jump seats which fold into rear floor.1st year Buick used Chrome.original 1928 Buick owners instruction /workshop manualfull stainless steel exhaust.wheel rim demouting tooloriginal 1920s hand air pumpwith the car( I think it may actually still pump air!)Just under 17ft long

Commissioner urges vigilance in wake of computer virus outbreak at Alberta Health Services
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner has been notified by Alberta Health Services that a virus was present on the Alberta Health Services network in Edmonton. The virus impacted the network and Netcare, Alberta's electronic health record, before it was discovered and removed.
You can read more about it here . . . Google Links. This follows the theft of two computers from a UofA medical lab a few months ago which contained un-encrypted patient information. The laptops were chained to a desk in a locked room!
Vigilance is the key word here and should apply to any and all businesses that value their data and want to keep it private. These were computer based breaches but we need to apply vigilance across our organizations which include any form of access to data and confidential information.

A DEVASTATING house fire in which a teenager and three children lost their lives will appear on Crimewatch.
The show, which airs on BBC One tonight, is part of a major police inquiry to try to establish the cause of the blaze which killed 19-year-old Reece Smith, four-year-old twins Holly and Ella Smith and Jordan Smith, aged two, who all died from smoke inhalation as after a wardrobe was allegedly set on fire in a bedroom.
Since the tragic incident at the house on Lytham Road, Freckleton, during a party on Saturday, January 7, detectives have been piecing together the events of the night and are continuing to investigate the case.
Officers have carried out extensive inquires including speaking to hundreds of members of the community, and launching a social media campaign with appeals on Facebook and YouTube and have now turned to Crimewatch in a bid to get further information.
Det Supt Dermott Horrigan (pictured), leading the inquiry for Lancashire Police's major investigation team, said: "We are making good progress with the investigation, but this is very much an ongoing inquiry and we will not stop until we get to the bottom of exactly what has happened.
"We have had a good response from the media and the public so far, however we are still appealing to anyone who may have any information who may not have spoken to the police or someone who has spoken to the police but have important information they have not yet told us.
"It is not too late to come forward.
"Somebody knows exactly what happened that night, and who set fire to the wardrobe.
"I would ask them to search their conscience and tell us the truth about what happened. It's not too late to do the right thing.
"I would urge people to watch the programme tonight and to contact us if they know something that they think might help. Even the smallest piece of information could prove crucial.
"We have a team of detectives who are still working on the investigation and I can assure the public that any information received will be treated in confidence and dealt with appropriately."
Anyone with information is asked to call the major incident room at Blackpool Police Station by calling 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Myanmar Vote Monitor Deals Not Enough for Some
As Myanmar's much-celebrated reforms face a big test during parliamentary by-elections next month, some activist groups are saying the country's recent unprecedented steps towards more transparency – including inviting foreign election monitors – are still not enough.
This Wednesday, Myanmar asked observers from the U.S. and the European Union to come to the long-shunned Southeast Asian country, inviting them to track an important by-election that will be contested by opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. A day earlier, observers from Southeast Asian nations were invited to monitor the vote.
Yet despite Myanmar's moves, some groups remain skeptical.

I have no words in response to how far Lil B's deftly managed to climb his way to new heights. Official Based God tees crafted in part by The Hundreds? I love propaganda far too much to do anything but applaud this sh*t lol.
Bobby of The Hundreds:
"Rapper, positive hip-hopster, and visionary Lil B partnered with us to make his first official merch. 3 t-shirt styles in an array of colors. The "THANK YOU BASED GOD" tee is available in black and white at Coachella this weekend.

On Wednesday I headed down to London to attend a couple of blogger events and to run some errands as well. I find London to be very fast paced which always makes me feel like I need to be alert at all times. Bearing this in mind, an easy going outfit was the way to go. Something that made me fit in with the crowd while still being a blogger babe. It wasn't entirely deliberate but I ended up wearing black and white. The all time classic look. Dressed in skinny jeans and a white top, the blazer was the perfect shield from the cool breeze thanks to the English rain. My flat PINKO SS17 shoes gave it the finishing look coupled with the black tassel hand bag. This London chic look was a hit as I got a few compliments about my outfit. It made for an easy running around in the tubes and city.
The first event I attended was a ring making session thanks to the lovely folks at The Workbench and GLITZBOX. I got to carve a ring for myself on a moulding wax. The event was packed with other bloggers alike. It was a really fun experience. I look forward to seeing the final results and sharing my masterpiece on the blog. The second event I attended was hosted by Kate Spade New York to launch their monochrome service. This event blew my mind away. Everyone was looking extra lush. There was plenty to eat and drink. I ran into a couple of bloggers I follow on Instagram which was quite exciting. We had a chance to pick a leather good and have our initials engraved on it. I chose a small purse that I can move between handbags. The goody bag was a hit as it had a 2017/2018 planner with my initials engraved on it. It was the perfect practical gift as I've been looking for a way to stay organised amidst my crazy schedules. We also got 30% off and I managed to score a good deal on some glitter shoes. Can't wait to rock it!***If you want to edit like me, you can! Grab a copy of my eBook here.***

Bill Tiller Interview

Bill Tiller Interview
An article by Skyfox, posted on July 21. 2003.
Interview by Ian "Skyfox" Biggar Editing and Aditional Art by Heather "Chariset" Oglevie
Please introduce yourself first.
Howdy. My name is Bill Tiller and I worked at LucasArts as lead background artist on The Curse of Monkey Island, and was the lead artist on The Dig and Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. Now, I am lead artist at Arena.net an online game publisher and developer started by three Blizzard programmers. I was born in Indiana but spent most of my childhood in suburban Chicago. Go Bears! Then we moved to Orange County California home of Disneyland. Ever since my family got our first computer, an Apple II+, I have always wanted to make video games. I learned a bit of BASIC and made a few crude games, but that is the extent of my programming career.
How did you get to work at LucasArts?
Back in 1992 I was just about to graduate from California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles when I met Colette Michaud. You might remember her name in the credits of a lot of LEC and Lucas Learning games. One of the privileges of being a senior at Cal Arts was that I got to put my portfolio up on display in the main gallery so that potential employers could get a good look at it. And that is exactly what happened. Colette was looking for a character animator to work on The Dig-Brian Moriarty's version. My work was mostly pictures painted using an old Amiga program called Digipaint (Amiga fans out there will remember fondly Digipaint), and she asked if I did any animation. I showed her my reel, which consisted of animated shorts I had done in Deluxe Paint Animator and in traditional paper and pencil. She really liked it. (I looked at it recently and man, does it suck! I am lucky I got a job with it.) A few months later I was invited up to Lucas Arts to do an animation test. The test consisted of painting Boston Low over a small video captures of Brian Moriarty on the PC version of Dpaint. It was basically rotoscoping (tracing video footage). I didn't think it was a good test for my character animation skills. So after I finished the test, I quickly roughed out a short animation of a short fat dragon trying in vain to fly. That seemed to impress the guys in the art department and so a week later I was hired.
How long were you at LucasArts?
I got hired July 13th 1992, or at least that is what is said on my pay stub every week. I worked there for about eight and a half years.
What games have you worked on so far?
Let's see. The Dig (PC, MAC), Rebel Assault (PC, MAC), Super Return of the Jedi (SNES), Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures (SNES), Curse of Monkey Island (PC), Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (PC, N64) and JarJar's Journey (PC), a Lucas Learning game. I also worked eight months with Larry Ahern on an unannounced game and two months on another unannounced game with John Knolls.
Are there any artists (in the games industry or otherwise) that you view as your inspirations?

Web Media Specialist Bruce Greenfield, Outreach Program Manager Bonnie O'Leary and Board member Tom Dowling joined me to watch it on one of NVRC's flat screen televisions. Unfortunately the captions did not begin until approximately five minutes after the meeting started.
Mr. Stout, who had been invited to give testimony regarding location identification technology, was the second individual to
speak. He focused on the exciting possibilities that could be gained through these new and emerging technologies and praised the FCC, PACO,
NENA, CTIA and the four wireless carriers for listening to consumer demands and collaboratively implementing new accessible solutions in emergency services. Mr. Stout also talked about technology used by individuals with hearing loss or deafness to communicate by telephone and the crucial need that location-finding technology plays in an emergency. He stressed that consumers with hearing loss or deafness need to be able to describe their emergency situation and information without losing time in trying to provide information on their location.
Mr. Stout's closing words were: "We simply want the same capabilities like anyone else to initiate and participate fully in communications with emergency services. Like our family members and friends who can hear, we do pay local property taxes and federal taxes that support our local public safety services, and also pay subscriber fees to access the telephone networks as a conduit to emergency services. As 911 centers continue to rely on funding from these sources, so should we rely on them to be fully accessible to every single one of us in the communities across America."

-Your favorite pancake mix and items need to follow the waffle instructions(mine called for 2 c of pancake mix, 1 1/4 c water, 1/4 c oil and 1 egg)
-Blue M&M's(I'm #TeamCap and thought it would be fun to divide the reds out too to see what my bag thought. #TeamCap was the obvious winner with twice as many blues!)
Preheat your Avengers waffle iron. What? You don't have one?? You can find one here on Amazon!
Mix your waffle ingredients(minus the M&Ms! We'll get to those in a bit!) until it is combined and a little lumpy. Once your waffle iron is preheated, pour enough mix into each waffle space to cover about 2/3 of the area. Sprinkle in as many or as little M&Ms as you like! Close iron and cook until done. Mine makes a clicking noise, but you should know that if you use your Avengers waffle iron too!
These are super simple to make and you can have fun if you have people in your house on another team! These are so tasty that you won't even need syrup!!

The PS3606 is manufactured using MEMS technology on 200mm diameter wafers and comes in an 8-pin package measuring 1.1mm by 0.9mm by 0.45mm. This product is also the first single-chip CMOS-MEMS barometer made using wafer level packaging for the consumer electronics market, Hua Hong said.
This product is also the first single-chip CMOS-MEMS integrated barometer adopted Wafer Level Packaging for consumer electronics on the global market.
The PS3606 measures pressure over the range 30 to 110kPa with an absolute accuracy of +/-0.1kPa in the range 95 to 105kPa and over a temperature range from 0 to 40 degrees centigrade.
Anticipated applications include smartphones, unmanned aerial vehicles, air cleaners, and wearable devices. Samples are expected in April with volume production due in 2H15.
"MEMS sensors are increasingly penetrating into Internet of Vehicles (IoV), smart home, smart city and almost all the applications of Internet of Things (IoT), and China has become the most rapidly growing MEMS market in the world," said Fu Cheng, executive vice president of Hua Hong Semiconductor, in a statement.
"Currently, Hua Hong Semiconductor is actively blueprinting smart sensors and defines MEMS as one of the new strategic plans for company development. The launch of this product demonstrates that Hua Hong Semiconductor has gone a step further towards enhancing full compatibility of MEMS devices with standard CMOS process and production lines, as a result of which the company's MEMS process technology has been upgraded to a new level in terms of feature size and performance. We expect this will contribute to the application development in consumer electronics, wearable electronic devices and IoT market."

In most of their product lines, vtech has disappointing high failure rates, regardless of the product. They will sell you a replacement cheaply, though.
Based on our experience, It is probably best to move on to a better product... and look for 5.6 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz.

Hello my name is Nik and I am having problems with my enact dvd to tv rf transceiver
Could youplease help me with any info?any kind of manual or telephone numbers or drivers or people that could help?
Thankls a lot

That is a Chinese made unit that was produced under a number of different brand names at very low cost. It is no longer made or sold, and was likely manufactured under designs or patents that are no longer considered legal. It is likely that its distribution is illegal, as well, due to international agreements.
I see you have searched and advertised through a number of different organizations online... I doubt that you will have much luck. But since it was made under a number of names, you might have luck doing generic searches.
6/29/2006 (9:40 am) by nik alexandrakis
Any idea which brants were selling them?i only know enact and i am not even sure that this is a company!!!
Please if you have any ifo send then to me.

Yes, I'm planning an Artists' Retreat for May, 2014!
Consider this post your "teaser."
First of all, this (to me) is an artist:
Not sure if you qualify?
I'm willing to bet that you're an artist. Whether you paint paintings, run a small business, painstakingly choose your outfits every day, decorate your home or dream of someday "living your art," art is in you and around you and you are an artist.
The premise is that artists need an opportunity to…
- practice their craft
- spend time with other artists
- learn about other art forms
- get away, gain a new perspective and rest
- experience new sites, sounds and people to be inspired and invigorated!
This will be a two-day retreat just two hours east of Phoenix in the charming and historic town of Globe, Arizona.
This one is for female artists only and is slotted for Saturday and Sunday, May 3 and 4 at the Chrysocolla Inn in Globe, Arizona.
There will be options for those who would just like to attend the Saturday conference as well as those who wish to stay overnight.
I am planning the schedule, special guests, field trips and so much more but for now, here are a few things we have in the works!
I hope this entices you! I will sending out pricing information along with how to register, what to expect and so much more in the months to come.
The best way to make sure you receive all of the updates is to sign up for the Artists' Retreat email updated. You'll be hearing more from me soon!

One of the best ways to start your day is to take a moment and stretch it out. Just take a cue from animals, they don't just wake up and immediately get going, but instead, they take the time to stretch themselves out first. It's the best way to shake off morning laziness. You will get your blood flowing and can release all the kinks and stiffness you might have developed during the night.
Morning Stretching will leave you feeling invigorated and like you are able to tackle anything the day may throw at you. Keep in mind though that you need to give the body some time at first, so don't bring your muscles to the end range right away. Concentrate on he parts of your body that feel the most stiff and remember to breathe deeply throughout your stretching routine. Not only will the stretches be easier, you also ground your thoughts to get ready for the day.
Follow our Top 10 exercises and start your day nice and loose.
#1 Hug it In
Hugging it in is the perfect pose to relieve tension in the lower back. Lie face up on your bed and pull your knees into your chest, wrapping your arms around your shins or hold on to your knees. Gently rock side to side and forward and backwards to massage your back. Listen to your body and move it in whatever way feels best for you.
#2 Twist it Out
Another great way to loosen up tightness in your lower back is a spinal twist. Combined with deep breathing it will gently wake you up. Lie face up on your bed with your legs straight and your arms stretched out to the sides. You can either bring both knees in and let them fall to one side while looking in the opposite direction or bring one knee in and let it fall over the opposite leg, twisting at the hip. Make sure that both shoulders stay on the bed and you turn your head the opposite way. Enjoy the delicious spinal relieve for a few breaths before switching sides.
#3 Shoulder Clocks
Use the twist we just did as a starting position, this time let both knees fall to one side and start to make large circles with the opposite arm in a clockwise direction. Keep your arm completely straight and think about reaching with the arm as it travels through the circular motion. Complete ten circles before switching to counter clockwise. Then switch your legs and repeat the shoulder clocks with the other arm.
#4 Hip Rotators
Lie on your back with the arms out to the sides like a giant T, palms facing up. Bend your knees and place your feet on the bed, a little bit wider than hip width apart. Aim to have the knees roughly at a 90-degree angle. Let the legs fall to one side, making sure that your lower back and both shoulders remain in contact with the mattress, if your knees don't touch the bed, don't worry about it. The upper knee should fall just inside the instep of the lower foot. Switch from side to side like a windshield wiper for about 10 to 15 repetitions in each direction.
#5 Side Stretch
Sit in the middle of your bed with your legs crossed. Interlace your fingers and bring the palms facing out, extending the arms straight above your head. Without lifting your hips off the bed, slowly bend from the waist to your right side, hold it for a breath and return to the center before reaching the arms over to the left side. Hold it for a breath again and return to center. Go side to side a few times and make sure to pull your shoulders down away from your ears. Alternately, instead of reaching the arms overhead, you can have the hands next to your hips. Start walking the right hand out to the right side, maybe even ending up on your forearm (making sure to keep both sitting bones connected to the bed) and reach the left arm up and overhead without lifting the shoulder. Hold for a few breaths and switch to the other side.
#6 Forward Crawl and Side Sway
We are still sitting in the middle of our bed with our legs crossed. This time walk your hands out in front of you as far as you can without lifting your butt off the bed. Hang out for a moment to enjoy the stretch in your hips and back and then start walking your hands over to the right side, pause for a breath and return to center. Then start walking the hands over to your left. Gently sway side to side for 30 seconds to stretch out your obliques before coming back to center and slowly rolling back up to sitting.
#7 Cat/Cow
If you have a stiff back when you wake up, cat and cow will bring more mobility into your spine and encourages blood flow to the tightness in your back. Come onto your hands and knees with your shoulders right above the wrists and the knees right underneath the hips. As you inhale drop your belly, arch your back, bring your chest forward and slightly look up. Feel your shoulder blades kissing in the back. As you exhale, round your back, tuck your tailbone under, pull the belly button in and let your head hang. Push the bed away with your hands and reach your spine towards the ceiling. Inhale and exhale as you flow through cat and cow, inhaling as you arch your back, exhaling as you round it.
#8 Child's Pose
This stretch is probably one of the most calming poses you can do and you stretch your lower back, lats and shoulders. From all fours push you hips back and reach your butt towards your heels. You can have the knees together or a little wider than hip-width apart, whichever feels better for you. Rest your forehead on the bed and reach your arms straight out in front of you or rest them alongside your body. If you want to make this stretch more dynamic, continuously flow from all fours to child's pose and back again, using your breath as a guide.
#9 Figure 4
This delicious stretch gets rid of tightness in your glutes and that hard to reach piriformis. Sit on your bed with your legs in front of you and your hands behind you, fingers pointing away from your body. Place your right ankle just above your left knee and flex your foot. Slowly bend the left leg towards you until you feel a stretch in the outer right hip. Make sure your back is straight and you pull your shoulders down the back. Use your hands as leverage to push your chest forward. Don't forget to switch sides.
#10 Hang Low
For this one you have to get out of bed. It's a great stretch for your lower back and hamstrings. Stand with your feet together – or have them slightly apart, whichever feels better for you in the morning – and with an inhale, reach the arms up overhead and look up. As you exhale, hinge at the hips and fold forward over your legs, bending your knees a lot in the beginning. Make sure you let your head hang heavy, maybe shake it gently yes and no to work out any kinks in your neck. If it feels good, grab opposite elbows and sway side to side like a rag doll. Hang low for a few breaths before slowly rolling back up to stand. Really take your time, stacking one vertebra onto the next to avoid a head rush and getting dizzy. If you repeat this a few times, you will also gently increase your heart rate, which helps you to wake up and feel more alert.
If you are tired of waking up in the morning achy, tight and sluggish, run through these stretches – you can do most of them without leaving your bed – and instead start your day with energy. Keep in mind, we usually stretch at the end of a workout and our body is already warmed up, so maybe taking a hot shower first is a good idea. But if you do these stretches right when you wake up, make sure that you are a little bit more gentle to avoid injury. The goal is to slowly increase range of motion, push blood and oxygen to your muscles and lubricate your joints.

Eccentric Earths: Weird planets where life might lurk

We thought that the search for life on other planets meant finding Earth's twin. But now it looks like some bizarre worlds could still be fit for life
"EPPUR si muove" – "And yet it moves". Galileo's reported utterance following his trial for heresy in 1633 is perhaps science's most famous muttered riposte. Through the newly invented telescope Galileo had seen many things that couldn't be explained by the dominant cosmology of the time, rooted in the idea that all things revolved around Earth: things like moons crossing the face of Jupiter, or the changing phases of Venus as sunlight caught it at different angles – an impossibility if Venus's orbit encircled Earth. All this had made Galileo a champion of the Copernican revolution: the idea that all the planets, including Earth, orbit the sun.
Nearly four centuries on, we are on the cusp of another revolution in our
