Dilworth police officers are asking for the resignation of chief Josh Ebert.
Dilworth police officers are asking for the resignation of chief Josh Ebert.
Ebert was placed on adminstrative leave with pay Friday afternoon after internal complaints but he'll be back on the job today.
But last night, his department appeared before the city council asking for a change.
His officers are concerned over ebert's administrative duties, including scheduling, budgeting, leadership and ethics, as well as personal and professional relationships.
The city council refused to allow officers to speak at the meeting, saying this was an internal matter.
City administrator Ken Parke says no "official" complaint has been made, and he expects the matter to be resolved soon.

In the last month, I've been approached by three different companies seeking help in generating news for their smart phone apps creations. Currently, I'm working with a brother-sister team that developed BrainAttack App to help emergency room doctors and nurses save lives for stroke patients. Like my clients, all app creators are trying to rise above the noise being generated in an industry that's growing at lightning speed.
Since 2008, when Apple launched its iTunes App store more than 800,000 apps have been downloaded. Google has quickly played catch up with just under 700,000 apps on Google Play as it marks its first birthday.
If there's a business problem, there's probably an entrepreneur who's created or working on an app solution. Unfortunately, there's no app guaranteed to get news coverage for your new app. With the mix of traditional and social media required to generate awareness of your app, a one-size fits-all solution just won't get you results.
There are so many target audiences that can make or break your efforts to generate awareness of your apps. With these hurdles in mind, I offer…
Top 10 tips to build media buzz for your App Continue reading

The Yuga Cycle of the Ages & Our Awakening Consciousness
Two trends – one ancient and one modern – are awakening the consciousness of the world. We are witnessing a world-wide and dynamic renaissance of ancient wisdom traditions. Yoga, meditation, life force control, acupuncture, ayurveda, and scores of other practices are now widespread. At the same time similar insights are emerging from science and the creative work of intuitive pioneers. Mind-body medicine, quantum awareness, life force healing, holistic health, psychic awareness, and martial arts are but a few of the hundreds of fresh expressions of timeless wisdom.

I have a thing for quotes :) I pick them up while watching tv and movies, talking to colleagues and friends, accidentally hear them on the street, come across them while surfing the net, where-ever. They bring a smile on my face. Or someone hits the nail on the head. In some way: they just make an impression and stick. So it seems like a great idea to start a thread with quotes. Please jump in and share! :)
Now Fry has got the spirit!!! :)
"You can't give up hope just because it's hopeless!
You gotta hope even more, and cover your ears and go blah blah blah blah blah blah!"
Futurama. Season 4, episode 8: Godfellas
Priest: Did you want confession?
El Mariachi: Maybe later father... Cause where I'm going, I'd just have to come right back
Movie: Desperado, 1995
"Momy, why does money exist?"
Me when I was eight years old, my mother keeps reminding me that one, I hate money and I'd gladly come back to trading for stuff.
"Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect!
And you, you can't live like this"
Comes with a cute video including strange creatures carrying the night away: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_CM5-gel6o]
Hearts a Mess - YouTube
Gotye, album: Like drawing blood, song: Hearts a mess, 2006
PS: there's also a pretty video that goes with the quote from 11-13-2011. I love his facial expression and the symbolic use of paint :)
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY&feature=related]Gotye feat. Kimbra- Somebody That I Used To Know - YouTube
"I'm living with your memory
in the attic in my mind
And you've been getting by without me
But I've been spending all my time
with a girl that I remember
who'll never leave or need to grow
Cause when you left, you left your memory
Now it's the only thing I know
When the past gives me no comfort
And though the future is the cost
The way I'm choosing to remember
I'll forever be the man I never was"
Gotye, album: Boardface, song: The only thing I know, 2003
There's an interesting music-video that goes with the mentioned song, containing an interview with 73-year old Georgina Spelvin, former porn actress, together with images of her most famous movie "The Devil in Miss Jones". Mind you: EXPLICIT content! [url=http://massiveattack.com/blog/2009/12/15/paradise-circus/]Paradise Circus Massive Attack Blog
Somehow I don't find the video revolting at all, like some do. It has a certain sad sweetness to it. This old lady telling her story, open and honest. It has this seeming contradiction of how people grow old. How bodies become fragile when we age, yet the spirit is much alive, as is clear in her vivid eyes. It seems to point out how old people were once young too, while we tend to forget young people will grow old. How movies capture a moment in time that from then on will exist forever. And perhaps; how when we age we're really not that different on the inside from who we once were, at all.
Anyways, a quote I like:
"An orgasm is that point in time that can't be measured, a mystical instinct that doesn't really exist in this dimension"
Georgina Spelvin & Massive Attack, music video: Paradise Circus, 2010
"Love is like a sin, my love,
For the one that feels it the most"
Massive Attack, album: Heligoland, song: Paradise Circus, 2010
"I felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can be addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end... always the end"
Gotye feat Kimbra, album: Making mirrors, song: Somebody that I used to know, 2011
TV is so simple...
Abed- to Jeff:
"I know how to distinguish TV from real life. TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules. And likable leading men. In real life we have... you."
...see the irony of a comedy commenting on real life by referring to another character as representative? ;):):D
Community, season & episode ?? (if you know, do tell)
Well somebody appears to be investigating things that begin with the letter V... :rolleyes::):D
[INDENT]Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. [/INDENT]
Movie: V for Vendetta, 2006
PS: this movie is filled with nice quotes! :)
**How'd you finally do it?
>>Do what?
**Manage to give a woman flowers and be President at the same time.
>>Well it turns out, I've got a rose garden.
Movie: The American President, 1995
When dining fancy it is okay to crack your knuckles, just don't knuckle your crack.
from comedian Larry the cable guy on his show "Only in America" episode 1
What being a girl is all about ;):):D
[INDENT]How do you convince an eight-year old girl to go to a party she doesn't want to go to? I have no idea. So, I thought I'd ask someone who used to be an eight-year old girl.
Get her a beautiful, sparkly, pink party dress and a princess tiara. If she doesn't want it, I've got an event coming up I'd wear it to.
Actually, getting Rose a dress is a great idea. Thanx Linda! You really are a girl!
Yep, and it's not just the genitals, it's a whole lifestyle.[/INDENT]
Conversation between Ted and Linda

The Simpsons Season 9 Episode 20- "The trouble of trillions"
Yep, it's a bit of an in(sight) joke ;)
Glad you like it, Big! :) I thought I was the only one not totally geeky (or am I? ;)) that watches these series occasionally!
Did a quick search; your quote allegedly came from the mouth of Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance.
I'd like to share another one that made me laugh yesterday (of a series I absolutely undoubtedly love watching! :)):
I didn't think it was physically possible but this both sucks and blows.
Off course said by the kindhearted little rebel of the family ;)

Well I would like to start with mine being my signature.
One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it's worth watching.
I dont know where i heard this from but it definitely stuck with me. And RR I love the big bang theory!! Sheldon is sooo hilarious!
British agent opens the door of a ski-lift while it's moving high above the ground, a beautiful woman standing behind him (no doubt Russian), to who he says before jumping down:
"I've had sex with a lot of women
and I can tell you that YOU...
...should probably get yourself tested."
American Dad, Season 3- episode 10: "The tearjerker"
Now, if groups like Moral Majority have their way, there won't be any sex education at school, and our kids will be the dumbest in the world when it comes to sex.... But our parents are sexually retarded too.... Fear and primitive morals are creating a sexual pressure-cooker in this country and soon the top will blow.... Only in the U.S. do we find children drawing a picture of a baby coming from the clouds or from under a cabbage leaf. ~Floyd Martinson
"A whole lot of nothing means a whole lot of something," ~ My stepson
well, it's a modified one , but I think that it applies to most all hobbies / interests / sports / life
" you didn't stop [whatever] because you got old ... you got old because you stopped [whatever] "
[place the relevant word into the bracket]
After one of my older sisters was taunted about her name I said
"What is a name but a rose, call it otherwise and it is still a rose, with a name a person changes it but they are still them are they not"-William Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet
"Feelling lucky punk, huh, do ya?"-Clint Eastwood
"Remember, the big brother has his eyes on you"-George Orwell: 1984
"Anna, you're a bit dramatic don't you think?"-Katelynn Esalda: Fitting In
If you don't know the episode, I'll leave it up to your imagination what the answer is ;) I actually thought the guess was pretty good :rolleyes:
**It's a portal, an opening through which all light, goodness, rejuvenation, joy, and ecstasy may enter the human form.
>>A vagina?
Family Guy, Season 4- episode 18: The Father, the Son and the Holy Fonz
Principle Snyder commenting as he witnesses the first day of school:
"I mean, it's incredible. One day the campus is completely bare. Empty. The next, there are children everywhere. Like locusts. Crawling around, mindlessly bent on feeding and mating. Destroying everything in sight in their relentless, pointless desire to exist."
Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Season 2- episode 1: When She Was Bad
Wife Alma comes home after leaving her husband Jörgen years ago;
Jörgen: What do you want?
Alma: My life. I figured I must have left it here somewhere.
[SIZE="1">*Quote translated from Dutch[/SIZE].
Tirza, movie after the book of Arnon Grunberg, 2010
"We're so hopeful at the beginning of things, it seems like there's only a world to be gained, not lost. They say the inability to accept loss is a form of insanity. It's probably true. But sometimes, it's the only way to stay alive."
Grey's Anatomy. Season 8, episode 5: Love, Loss and Legacy
"I illuminate all but the darkest corners of myself, at times I flicker and then turn off. I am life, the most beautiful of all sins."- My last moment A memoir of life.
"Love the life you live and live the life you love."- ??
Everyone you meet comes with baggage.
Find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack.
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all
Quote by "God" :)
Futurama. Season 4, episode 8: Godfellas
Alex Fletcher: I think you are way too talented and gifted... and unusual to let anyone keep you from standing.
Sophie Fisher: That's wonderfully sensitive... especially from a man who wears such tight pants.
Alex Fletcher: It forces all the blood to my heart.
Movie: Music and Lyrics, 2007
Two fascinating quotes from Redmond (perhaps even more so when put together):
"When I was a schoolboy, I really did think that by the time that I was the age I am now, the world would be full of light and tolerance and reason. That the ghastliness of religion would be a thing of the past. How wrong I was... We seem to be getting more religious every week. It's terrible"
"Nature puts limits on us. But we don't seem to listen anymore. In our urge to explore the world, we forget that in these explorations the cost may be far greater than the benefit. Challenging any last frontier probably means that we -as men- overstepped the boundaries for mankind as a species"
Beagle revisited, 2011, episode: The Final Frontier

Insulin Injection Sites |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
- Onset—the length of time it takes for the insulin to reach the bloodstream and begin lowering blood glucose after it is injected
- Peak time—the time during which insulin is at its maximum strength in terms of lowering blood glucose levels
- Duration—how long the insulin continues to lower blood glucose
Type of insulin | Description |
Rapid-acting | This type of insulin works in about five minutes. It reaches its peak in about one hour and lasts for 2-4 hours. |
Regular- or Short-acting | This type of insulin works in about 30 minutes. It reaches its peak in about 2-3 hours and lasts about 3-6 hours. |
Intermediate-acting | This type of insulin works in about 2-4 hours. It reaches its peak in about 4-12 hours and lasts about 12-18 hours. |
Long-acting | This type of insulin works in about 6-10 hours and lasts for about 20-24 hours. |
- Syringe—The syringes you will use are small and have fine needles with special coatings that help to make injecting as easy and painless as possible. When insulin injections are done properly, most people find that they are relatively painless.
- Pen—The insulin pen looks very much like an old-fashioned cartridge pen, except that it has a needle and holds a cartridge of insulin. Pens are particularly useful for people who are often on the go or who have poor coordination. The majority of pens are disposable.
- Pump—This is a small computerized device that you wear on your belt or in your pocket. It delivers a steady, measured dose of insulin through a flexible plastic tube called a cannula. With the aid of a small needle, the cannula is inserted through the skin into the fatty tissue and is taped in place. In some products, the needle is removed and only a soft catheter remains in place. Because the pump continuously releases tiny doses of insulin, this delivery system most closely mimics the body's normal release of insulin.
- Check your insulin's expiration date. If you haven't finished it before then, throw the rest away.
- Store unopened bottles of insulin in the refrigerator. Do not store your insulin at extreme temperatures.
- Keep the bottle of insulin you are using at room temperature. Injecting cold insulin can sometimes make the injection more painful. (Most pharmacists believe that insulin kept at room temperature will last for about one month.)
Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist
- Exenatide (Byetta)
- Liraglutide (Victoza)
- Low blood glucose
- Headache
- Nausea, vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Irritation where the shot is given
Special Considerations
- If you give yourself insulin injections, always use a new needle. This will reduce your risk of infection.
- Take your medicine as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Do not stop taking them without talking to your doctor.
- Do not share them.
- Know what the results and side effects. Report them to your doctor.
- Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. This includes over-the-counter medicine and herb or dietary supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills so you do not run out.

The EXCEL Center is great!!!!!!!! As a full time teacher who also works most nights as a WIAA Official, finding the time and program to pursue my Adaptive Physical Education Certification was hard to do. Then I found UW-Oshkosh and the EXCEL Center. The staff informed me of what I needed, and did all the leg work and registration for me. They were so helpful when I needed questions answered or if I didn't know what to do next. The course work was of great importance to me and the online classes fit great into my busy schedule. I was able to complete the certification in one school year!!! I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend UW-Oshkosh and the EXCEL Center to any teachers who are looking to further their education while pursuing further certifications.

Senate Bill 5's passage heats up opponents
The backlash from the passage of Senate Bill 5 by the Ohio Senate is continuing as local residents opposed to the legislation railed against Gov. John Kasich and Republican supporters.
They said the bill, which would eliminate collective bargaining for state and municipal workers, is an attempt to balance the budget on the backs of the middle class. More demonstrations are planned as the bill will now work its way to the House of Representatives.
A rally is being planned today at 5 p.m. at the former UAW 425 hall, 5300 Baumhart Road, Lorain.
The bill passed the Ohio Senate with a vote of 17-16. Sen. Gayle Manning, a Republican from North Ridgeville, voted against the bill.
Yesterday, Lorain County Commissioner Ted Kalo, who has expressed opposition to the bill, said SB5 is a "bad bill."
"I think there are 17 misguided souls in the state of Ohio," Kalo said.
Kalo said he doesn't think Kasich can fill an $8 billion gap in the state budget by eliminating collective bargaining unions across the state.
"I think this is a knee jerk reaction to the bad economy and I don't think the end result will be major cost savings to fill the $8 billion gap," Kalo said.
Commissioner Tom Williams, a Republican, declined to comment on the passage of the bill yesterday. Williams has said he was not for or against the bill, but was against the county commissioners opposing the bill when the decision is up to state leaders.
Joe Thayer, president of the AFL-CIO, said there couldn't be more of an important issue for Ohio working families than the passage of SB5. Thayer has spent several days rallying against the bill in Columbus and said the public needs to continue to express opposition to state officials and representatives. Continued...
"We have gotten attention and we need to continue to do so. We need to change the position in votes for a few of the senators," Thayer said.
"This is nothing but political payback and an attack on organized labor and working families."
Jonathan George, president of the Lorain firefighters union, expressed similar sentiments and said he was surprised to see how fast the bill got pushed through Senate.
"We are obviously extremely disappointed. We are almost as disappointed in the questionable tactics used in this," George said. "It has the potential of being devastating for the safety forces in the district."
George said he doesn't believe state senators are listening to citizens in Ohio because of the rush to pass the bill. He also believes officials have been given "misinformation" about what benefits a union brings to the state — such as the costs of arbitration or mediation versus the costs of solving problems through court.
Elyria firefighters union President Dean Marks said he doesn't believe middle class workers should have to be responsible for making up the budget shortfall.
"Everyone understands the economy is bad, but we don't feel we caused it," Marks added. "We are paying the price for what happened on Wall Street and the state officials need to balance the budget, but not on the backs of the working class."
George and Marks said they sat down with Manning and discussed these concerns about the bill last week. They said after speaking with Manning and sharing concerns, they were pleased she voted in opposition to the bill.
Manning was unable to be reached for comment yesterday.
"We voiced out concerns and she understood it wasn't in the best interest of the workers. We at least appreciate her votes," Marks said. Continued...
Lorain County Republican Party Chairwoman Helen Hurst, who is friends with Manning, said she understands why Kasich would take this route in order to ease the budget burden in the state.
"I think that Gov. Kasich needs the tools to get the job done and if these are the tools he needs I am all for giving him the tools he needs," Hurst said. "I am sure there are other things that need to be done as well, I would hope there could be some understanding that we need to come around to the way of thinking that the unions aren't all bad. There are good things in unions and there are bad things in unions and other walks in government ... I don't think it should be one-sided. I am hoping they will work towards that. And I am looking forward to that."
Hurst said she is sure Manning has her reasons for voting against SB5 but she was unaware of those reasons yesterday.
Marks, George and Kalo all said they hoped Manning would understand the ramifications of Senate Bill 5 because she is a former teacher and was protected by the teachers' union throughout her career.
There are 542 teachers in Lorain who would be affected by Senate Bill 5 should it pass in the House of Representatives. Lorain Educators Association union leader Dave Wood said the bill is "an attack on unions and has nothing to do with the budget." Wood said. "Once the current contract expires, we would be subject to this bill. Seniority would be gone, so if there's a (reduction in force), they get to choose who stays and who goes. If they go on strike, the bill makes you a criminal."
Creating unions took 10 years of legislative work to perfect and Wood is upset that it's coming to an end just like that.
"It's infuriating," Wood said. "It eviscerates collective bargaining. To ram it through like that allows no time for reflection. It's really an attack."
Steven Cawthon, a Lorain City Schools teacher, said he is "disgusted" by the passage of SB5. Cawthon has friends and family who are public workers who have "jumped through hoops to live American dream the senate the government is pulling the rug out from under us."
Lorain teachers Sylvia Duvall and Dean Reinhardt were also displeased with the passage. Duvall said the passage meant losing the "strong voice for the treatment of kids in schools."
Elyria resident John Burroughs was in Columbus protesting Senate Bill 5 Tuesday on behalf of his wife, Jeri. She has worked at the Grafton Correctional Institute as a nurse for 15 years. Continued...
"Her job is especially dangerous because you never know what could happen at a place like that," he said. "She has told me that she feels that her job is not valued. Kasich is saying we're doing this to help taxpayers, but my wife is a taxpayer too."
Burroughs' mother and father were also union members, as his mother was a nurse and his father a police officer.
"They feel the same way," he said. "I think they get the feeling they are feeling betrayed by an entire administration who puts corporate interests before the interests of the public employees. I don't see the government taking away tax cuts from corporations to balance the budget and I don't see how it will help the budget."

Western Caribbean Cruise Basics
Western Caribbean
> Western Caribbean Cruise Basics
More than in any other cruise region, the Western Caribbean's fairly recent -- and phenomenal -- growth can be attributed in part to the development of homeport cruising. That concept, which began to gain momentum after September 11, 2001, expanded cruising's reach beyond the traditional homeports of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale into other coastal American cities. As a result, places like Galveston, Houston, New Orleans, Mobile and Tampa have become year-round departure points. And because the Western Caribbean is the natural destination for these locales, the region has gained not only first-timers but also folks for whom easy access to these ports means they'll return time and again.
Of course, the Western Caribbean has long been a magnet for travelers interested in a unique blend of sun and surf, the history of ancient civilizations, and eco-oriented adventures. No question, this region has them all.
Choosing an Itinerary
The Western Caribbean consists of islands south and west of the U.S. mainland, such as Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Jamaica, and destinations that belong to Mexico's Mexican Riviera on the Yucatan Peninsula, such as Costa Maya, Playa del Carmen and Progreso. These are staples on many ships' four-, five- and seven-night itineraries and offer a great sampler package for first timers. Key West, on Florida's southernmost tip, is another increasingly popular stop -- particularly for cruises that originate from the East Coast ports of Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.
But there's increasing interest in alternative trips to the Western Caribbean and we'll give you two immediate reasons. One is that more and more, younger travelers (families, singles, the simply adventurous) who are newly intrigued by cruise travel are seeking a more off-the-beaten-track travel experience. So too are folks who, by dint of residential proximity to one of the burgeoning homeports along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, are making the trip over and over again -- and in the process looking for new discoveries.
In either case, the newly minted
Exotic Western Caribbean
encompasses ports better known as eco tourism destinations than sand-and-surf playgrounds. In this case, look for itineraries that include ports such as Belize's Belize City and Honduras' island of Roatan, among others.
Who Goes?
Virtually every big ship cruise line from North American companies to those based in Europe offers seasonal, if not year-round, trips to the Western Caribbean. Among them, Carnival and Royal Caribbean are the big powerhouses; these two lines dominate all year long. It's an ideal spot for a getaway any time of the year with temperatures that seldom vary from highs in the 80's to lows in the 70's -- not to mention humidity that pretty much stays in the 70 percent range throughout the year.
On a seasonal basis -- the high season of course being the period between the Christmas holidays through spring break -- you'll find every other line! Aimed primarily at North American travelers are cruise ships from the fleets of Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Princess, Celebrity and Holland America. Attracting an international, European traveler are ships from P&O, Costa, MSC Cruises and more. Windstar maintains a seasonal ship in the waters of Central America.
While the industry's luxury segment parses out its Western Caribbean forays less often, you will find occasional options. Cunard visits the region a few times each year with luxury/big ship hybrid Queen Mary 2, as does Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea, Seabourn, Hapag-Lloyd's Europa, Crystal and Oceania. Often, these lines will blend Western Caribbean stops with longer Panama Canal or South America itineraries.
Where You'll Go
Here we'll crystallize the major 10 or so ports that comprise the Western Caribbean; click on links provided to read our full port profiles on each port of call.
Costa Maya, Mexico
Costa Maya
is the newest port in the Western Caribbean. Located on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, it feels more like a private island created from scratch expressly for cruisers. Costa Maya is what you'd expect if, say, Disney World decided to create its own private island in Mexico: a man-made tourism village with bars, restaurants, shops and pools at the ready. Beyond that? What's interesting is that in developing an entire destination out of scratch in a place whose only settlement was the nearby village of Majahual, 80 residents strong, the folks who created Costa Maya had to build everything. They worked with Coca-Cola to install water sanitation systems (and, yes, it is safe to drink water within the Costa Maya confines). They built brick-paved roads and concrete cottages for the employees who pretty much all come from elsewhere and needed housing.
Roatan, Honduras
is the largest of Honduras' Bay Islands. Almost 40 miles long and just 2.5 miles at its widest point, the remote island boasts white sand beaches, pristine bays and spectacular coral reefs. The island is a true melting pot. Its 40,000 people are a mix of Spanish, British, Paya Indian and African, the result of a stormy history that includes conquistadors, pirates and slave traders. For tourists, Roatan's charm is its barrier reef system -- the second largest in the world! -- and its appeal for diving and snorkeling.
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
A mere 10 years ago,
Playa del Carmen
was referred to as a sleepy little village. It's certainly not that any longer! Across the waterway from Cozumel (which is accessible by ferry), this mainland town has been transformed into a full-fledged tourist destination complete with luxury resorts, dozens of fantastic restaurants, and enough clubs and live music venues to keep night owls occupied for weeks. But its main appeal is its proximity to many important historical and ecological landmarks, including several stunning collections of Mayan ruins, two eco-archeological parks and thousands of cenotes -- the systems of hidden caves and natural springs which ancient Mayans regarded as doorways to the spiritual world.
Cozumel, Mexico
On a call at
, don't miss the great Mayan walled city of Tulum. Once a major center of maritime commerce, the sixty-acre site features stone carvings, archways and architecture with "sundials" that light up during the solstices. Tulum's main castle sits on a limestone cliff overlooking the Caribbean. The sweeping views alone are worth the two-hour trek (via ferry to Plaza del Carmen, and then by motorcoach).
Belize City, Belize
's 185-mile barrier reef is the largest in the Western Hemisphere, and the scuba diving is world class. But, even if you're not a certified diver, you can simply swim, or try snorkeling (cruise ships offer supervised excursions for beginners of all ages). One of the most popular snorkeling spots along the reef is Shark Ray Alley, where you share the water with nonplussed southern stingrays and nurse sharks (or rather, they share the water with you).
George Town, Grand Cayman
Once your ship docks at
Grand Cayman
's capital, George Town, it may be tempting to simply veg out under the casuarina tress along the white sands of Seven Mile Beach. A more adventurous option involves a boat trip to the famous Stingray City Sandbar. As you snorkel in shallow water, tour operators provide buckets of chopped up squid for you to feed to the huge stingrays. The rays will eat from your hand, and are quite polite as long as you don't step on their tails. Save time for a quick run to the Tortuga Rum Factory on South Church Street. Admittedly, this is a prime tourist haunt where you'll be elbow to elbow with fellow cruise passengers. But, the factory's rum cakes are notoriously good. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, you'll love at least one of its many permutations (flavors range from coffee to key lime). The cakes come in mini sizes for under 10 bucks, and make great gifts. Trust us, once you get home, you'll wish you'd bought more.
Key West, Florida
There's a lot of history packed into this tiny island (2 by 4 miles) first claimed for Spain by Ponce de Leon in the early 16th century. Make sure to visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, and the "Little White House," where Harry Truman relaxed.
Key West
's Mel Fisher Maritime Museum houses millions of dollars worth of treasure salvaged from a Spanish Galleon. At sunset, tradition requires heading over to Malloy Dock, to see it come alive in a celebration of jugglers, musicians and street performers as the sun goes down.
Montego Bay, Jamaica
Known as "MoBay" to the locals,
Montego Bay
is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, such as Doctor's Cave Beach. But bucolic beaches can wait when there's a ghost story to be told. Take an excursion to the 6,000-acre Rose Hall plantation. The plantation's Great House, built in 1760, is said to be haunted by the ghost of its former mistress, Annie Palmer. It seems that Palmer's mistreatment of slaves (and the unfortunate end met by several of her husbands) earned her the moniker "The White Witch." Cursed by a slave, she still roams the halls of the great house -- or so it is said.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Dunn's River Falls is the adventure in
Ocho Rios
. Hike 600 ft. surrounded by lush foliage as the falls come crashing down onto a sandy beach. Instead of the traditional motorcoach ride to the falls, consider a shore excursion that arrives at the falls via sea kayak. You'll hug the coastline, and the lagoons and tropical vegetation along the way are spectacular. Another option is a bike trek to the Falls, which leaves you off atop Murphy Hill (and will certainly burn off all those calories from the rum cakes).
Progreso, Mexico
The Mayan city of Chitzen Itza is a short two hours from
. With its intricate temples, the famous pyramid of Kulkulcan, a sacred ball court and astronomical observatory, it is certainly worth the trip to one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Americas. A closer option (90 minutes away) is the Mayan site of Uxmal, which also offers an impressive array of pyramids and plazas. Another important Mayan ceremonial center, Dzibilchaltun, is but 15 minutes away. If the ruins intrigue you, look for the face of the living Maya. Chances are, you'll need to look no further than the face of your tour guide. The descendants of the Maya still thrive here, having preserved their language and many of the ancient ways.
Where Will You Board?
Beyond the traditional ports of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale's Port Everglades and Port Canaveral, the Western Caribbean's most popular homeports include:
Galveston, about 1.5 hours from Houston, is the port for the major Texas city (ironically, Houston has its own port though attracts a few ships). Galveston is a charming Victorian resort town situated on a barrier island just two miles off the coast of Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. The waterfront town has most definitely returned to its former Victorian glory. There are several neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places that are hard to resist when it comes to sightseeing, but put the Strand District, where you'll find plenty of shops and restaurants amid Victorian iron-front buildings, and the East End District, where you'll spot exquisite gems like Bishop's Palace, on the top of your list.
Tucked inside Tampa Bay on Florida's west coast, the city's red-hot waterfront is jam-packed with sights, sounds and surf. As well, it's not far from other sightseeing worthy cities, such as the century-old St. Petersburg, which boast some of Florida's best beaches.
New Orleans
No longer "closed for business" in the wake of the disastrous Hurricane Katrina, which struck in August of 2005, New Orleans has reawakened with a bang. The Louisiana Superdome, the Aquarium of the Americas and the Brennan dynasty's Commander's Palace Restaurant are among the major tourist magnets that have reopened.
Indeed, when visiting the city's downtown district it is almost hard to tell the storm had struck at all. In the French Quarter, Bourbon Street revelries at full blast, the antique shops and art galleries of Royal Street offer wares both touristic and collection-worthy, and the Friday lunchers pack Galatoire's.

When it comes to plant nutrition, nothing is more important than fertilizing. But, as all good gardeners know fertilizing can either really help your garden, or it can really hurt your garden. Picking the wrong time to fertilize is one of the main causes of garden problems, so if you want to save yourself some pain, take some of this advice.
When it comes to New Jersey the summer months can get very hot very quickly. Summer is also one of the months where most inexperienced farmers typically use their fertilizer. Instead of making the biggest mistake of your life, try fertilizing in different parts of the year. I would recommend fertilizing in late May, early September, and the first week in November. These dates might seem a little close, but they are the best time to fertilize. In most cases there is no heat factor to that plays a role and you fertilize the recommended three times per year. Doing this will ensure that your lawn remains health and ready for the next summer.

ALLEN - After nearly two months away from the racetrack, Brandon Kinzer and his No. 18 Dirt Late Model team rolled into the legendary Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Indiana on September 21-22 for the 33rd edition of the Jackson 100. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presided over the two-day affair and 40 competitors piled into the pit area at the 1/4-mile fairgrounds complex to vie for the $20,000 top prize.
In qualifying on Friday night, Kinzer debuted a new Rocket Chassis and timed in 15th fastest in his group. When the action really heated up on Saturday evening, Kinzer finished 10th in his loaded heat race and ninth in his B-Main. The Allen native, however, was unable to transfer into the 100-lap feature event.
Kinzer is scheduled to compete at Talladega (Ala.) Short Track Oct. 5-6. On Saturday, Oct. 6, Kinzer will compete in the $3,500-to-win Southern All-Stars (SAS) feature at the Alabama track.

Nokia Lumia 920 Torture Test II - Keys, knife and a mallet
The other day we saw part one of a Nokia Lumia 920 stress test where the phone was dropped numerous times onto concrete and survived with only some minor cosmetic damage. The same site is back with even more 920 tortures: keys, a knife and a mallet.
The video shows the gent trying to scratch the 920's display and body with the keys, both lightly (as if in your pocket) and then deliberately. Both times the Nokia survived with out any damage.
Next up was the knife test. Here the back of the phone, display and sides were all slashed with a very large knife and while the back and display did very well, the side of the 920 did take some significant damage. Still as the noted in the video, the Lumia 920 did very well with those slashes on the back nearly wiping off and the display looking unmarked from the horror movie slashing. Jason Voorhees would be a sad panda.
Finally, a mallet is taken to the phone's display in two tests: dropped from 6 and 8 inches, numerous times and then later, deliberately smashed. Once again, the 920 was just fine with the Gorilla Glass 2 reinforced display not cracking under pressure. The phone was also used to hammer in a nail into a piece of wood without any damage either.
Conclusion? The Lumia 920 can take a lot of punishment though perhaps not surprising, if you slash it with a giant knife you can do some damage. Having said that, we have already heard anecdotal reports from users that their Lumia 920s have light scratches on them despite the lack of direct, purposeful trauma.
And we know for a fact that you if drop your phone directly on its corner, you stand a better chance of shattering that Gorilla Glass (see that image from a Reddit user). That's because while the display on the 920 is hella strong, it's not scratch proof nor is it unbreakable. It is simply scratch resistant, so try to treat it gently.

I dig your comment :D
tissotti says:
Common sense. I always laugh at people who are complaining how their gorilla glass got scratched. You get anything harder stuck on your pocket, your desk that gets next to screen and it scratches.
Lumia 920 body got the advatage that it's first of all carved out of one piece and the color is throught the material so if you get scratches on the body they are not as visible. Never used any protection on my Lumia 800 that i bought last year and no visible marks, other than the camera strip that's just horrible at taking scratches. Thankfully fixed on Lumia 920 with the ceramic camera strip.
Shobiz says:
My 900 screen cracked dropping it maybe 12 inches. It also scratched from coins in my pocket. I was pissed. So I got a replacement dropped it again from higher place. Not a scratch anywhere. I don't know
Laura Knotek says:
That makes sense.
Miistercoool says:
"My icons got rearranged somehow.." Icons?!?!?! This ain't i-crap!! It's Tiles Mister!!! O_O
rellimllc says:
Great torture test. But I believe the 920 passed the scratch test because you should be able to use a fine grit piece of sandpaper or resin and make those scratches disappear. It would be great if you did a video on such a repair
Josef Herbert says:
I suppose that's one way to get a matte Yellow/red/white device...

Nokia builds not only phones but also hammers. That was so impressive! Im amazed. IPhone 5 is crapping itself from this video.
VagrantWade says:
I have like 10 scratches on my screen on the oleophobic layer and I baby the hell out of it. :(
ymcpa says:
Nokia phones don't have an oleophobic layer. That's why fingerprints are so previlent.
VagrantWade says:
Yes they do. I am talking about the display. It 100% has an oleophobic layer.
prosimian says:
deleted, meant to reply a level in.
prosimian says:
Compare the 920 to the 900 - the 900 definetly didn't have an oleophobic layer, thing smudges if you think about touching. The 920 looks pristine after a long Angry Birds session with a single wipe against the shirt. The 920 may be more smudge resistant than the iPhone.
GoodThings2Life says:
Agreed... I had to lick my thumb just to leave a visible thumbprint on the screen earlier, lol.
The only smudges on my display are after I play Fruit Ninja or repeated unlock swipes, and they just wipe away with ... wait for it... a gentle wipe of my own finger, lol.
Oleophobic coating? Maybe not, but it's a step above that, if possible.
VagrantWade says:
The oleophobic coating is WHY it doesn't smudge. But it can also get scratched with dust/sand particles.
blackfire says:
I agree with this. It definitely has some sort of smudge resistant layer. If you look at the earpiece, you will most probably see fingerprints about a centimeter around it very clearly, and then a clear cut-off that looks cleaner on the rest of the screen. So yes, I do believe it has some sort of smudge resistant layer.
jetbo says:
I will say I have some scratches on the screen from keys not visible with screen on but when off they are, none on my 900 though. The finish of the glass seems more oil resistant and it gets less grimy so this might be a side effect
VagrantWade says:
The oleophobic coating prevents smudging, but it also gets scratches in it. Very annoying.
Adretheon says:
The first video made me feel confidant in my buy. This one I wasn't to concerned with. My focus still looks decent. A minor scratch on the screen and some wear and tear from dropping it. I don't see knives, the mallet, or the nailing in as real world problems. It's nice to see it can hold up, but I'll never be that brutal with my phone.
I look forward to a water/heat test from this guy though.
tds101 says:
The guy is damn annoying, but it proved the point - my phone is TOUGH!!!
tilemaster says:
I don't wonder, its a Nokia phone, you can build up a house with it :D
ejlee072006 says:
Dudes you all stop bashing the iPhone 5.. I saw a you tube video that the guy hit the phone with a real hammer.. And the iPhone 5 survive it... No matter what they are both quality phones.. peace
SevenDead1ySinz says:
So because you saw a youtube video it must be real? I saw a youtube video of a golden eagle trying to steal a baby.. bet that was real too right?
bono5112 says:
Barely hold a charge for 4 hours, but if you need to hang a picture or fix kitchen drawer your GOLDEN!!..... Just kidding I love my 920, even though I'm exchanging for another one because of a creaking sound on the top of the phone and a crackling sound from the speaker. Have to wait though, my local ATT is sold out
danielm298 says:
my heart was hurting everytime he did a test.stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont distroy this great peice of work!!!
RyanDaLyon says:
Is there an iPhone video of this? I'd love to see it.
GoodThings2Life says:
All I know is my display is freaking amazing. Difficult to smudge, nearly impossible to scratch it permanently... and I'm sorry, but anyone who suggests otherwise is full of it unless you were purposely trying or used a diamond ring or something.
The casing is another story. I do have a small scratch on the back of mine that I just noticed tonight... not sure how considering how protective I am of it, but nevertheless, it's there. You'd never notice it unless you were really looking though... it's hella small and in a spot you'd really not notice it.
VagrantWade says:
No. You are wrong. Me and others on The Verge/These forums/Reddit have multiple scratches in the oleophobic coating on our phones.
The Geurilla Glass is scratch proof. The coating is not. You are full of it.
willied says:
Why didn't the guy's screen in the video get any scratches on it then?
scourgev says:
Just because you had a different experience doesn't mean he's full of it. Sounds like you're butt hurt.
Abdul9 says:
Well i'm sure that those scratches come from keeping it in your pocket without putting it in a pouch. One has to be extra careful cos one has fine particle sand in ones pocket most time and don't realize it. Those are the worse enemies of glasses no matter or strong or resistant they are. My lumia 920 droped from my cupboard into the sink while playing music, at first i didn't know it was my phone that droped cos the song didn't even get interrupted for a milisecond and then i checked the sink and saw my phone in it but luckiely nothing happened.
sanien says:
Oh it hurts! I would treat mine, no matter how strong it is - gently! :-D
Belino says:
Quite impressive, but you can't expect less from nokia devices.
Nickkk101 says:
...okay, try ths test without using a RUBBER panel-beater/bodyshop mallet and i'll listen. smh. fun test tho.
cedarlog says:
Nokia should give us weapon license too
Jari P says:
It is good to open bottles too ...
graigsmith says:
hiphopboy8x says:
damn! L920 pretty hard
hapishyguy says:
You made me cry with those tests.
hapishyguy says:
You were so harsh. Who would treat such a beautiful phone in real life this?
BlueBomber says:
I had the thing for 2 days, and then a 2 foot drop onto the pavement. Talk about crappy luck.
BlueBomber says:
Meant to attach this: http://www.imgzzz.com/i/image_1352916912.jpg
Dani Bocca says:
Baloney!!! My NEW 920 slipped off my lap about 2 feet onto CARPET!!! and it now has a cracked screen. AT&T and Nokia said they will not consider the glass defective, which means that it's CRAP!
TESTAMENTU says:
It's "bologne"... And you're lying, you probably got that crappy 8X and are now trying to give Nokia a bad reputation. Too bad nobody cares.
BlueBomber says:
I feel your pain brother. The thing is built like a tank, but apprently if it hits the floor just right, the gorilla glass gives in :(.
Joseph Noble says:
I also dropped my 920 from about 20 cm and the screen shattered. I am a 15-20 year user of only Nokia phones and was shocked that they would release such a poor quality device. I have owed my e71's for many years and have dropped them multiple times. That happens to everyone who travels all the time, like I do. This phone has a manufacturing defect, which is probably why Noka is rushing to come out with the aluminum version. They should fess up to the statistics on how many Lumia 920's have shattered screens and do a recall and fix or replace them all. shame on Noka. And shame on all you Nokia apologists.
falcon_cmh says:
I have dropped my 920 from waist high trying to put it in my pocket on a hard restaruant floor (pretty much cement) and no damage was notcied on the phone anywhere. It flopped from the back to the front on the floor too. It was a little bouncy. Pretty scary but the end result gives me confidence the phone is very high quality. I have Invisishield on order just showed up yesterday haven't had time to instal it front and back but with that I should be solid without a case. I really do not like cases.
rnaveen1989 says:
we have seen the back surface of the bady doesn't get any scratches.. Is this only for the poly carbounate body or also for the matte finished black.. Does the black one survives back scratches

DJ Shadow was unreal. No shadowsphere , hejust destroyed with a man that was so locked in I got that feeling where the music just takes over your whole mind/body and you feel euphoric. Everything I wanted from something at edc but never got. I'm a Shadow fan for life now.
This was my second launch.However it has never been this large. This thing is moving in the right direction. The people behind it seem to be very passionate on doing this right and I had a great time. hometown heros !!! into grouplove was fantastic. Then Joy Formidable into Shadow. Throw in some fashion shows + chromeo, a good amount of vendors, decent art stuff, it felt like a micro lolla with the park/city atmosphere.
good job launch ! Had to be daunting throwing this for the first time but the turnout looked strong.
I was glad to see the bands put in passionate performances. Seemed like everyone wanted to be there.
Not bad .
I've seen Bassnectar about 8 times. My favorite performance was in Sac because the crowd was so awesome and everyone was dancing. Kudos to Sac for getting more performers there.

The Vancouver School Board passed its 2012/13 budget Monday night and there were few surprises except for the decision to cut back on district closure days.
For the past two years, 10 additional days were lopped off the school year to save money—about $100,000 a day. A few minutes were added to each day to make up for the loss.
Some parents, however, found it difficult to find childcare when school was out. Based on feedback, trustees decided to reduce district days off from 10 to five for an estimated savings of $500,000. Students will get four days added to spring break, for a total of two weeks off, plus a day off Nov. 9.
Board chair Patti Bacchus, a Vision Vancouver trustee, called the decision a compromise.
"We had mixed responses. We heard a lot of people like the two-week spring break, but a lot of parents were having trouble with all the days off through the year when you combine them with Pro D days and stat holidays," she said. "People were scrambling for childcare—finding it and then of course the additional costs."
Bacchus also acknowledged it's not educationally beneficial to add a few minutes each day to make up for days off.
Supporters of continuing education can breathe a sigh of relief—at least temporarily. Senior staff's initial budget proposal recommended the program be axed because it's costing the VSB to maintain the 105-year-old program. But the board went with staff's revised budget proposal, which allows time to develop an "action plan" by June to either operate it at no cost to the board or transfer all or part of continuing ed to another organization.
Some cuts to adult education went ahead, but one full-time equivalent position was spared—a $90,000 difference from the initial proposal.
Two other VSB positions were granted extra time—the anti-homophobia mentor position and the diversity (formerly known as anti-racism) mentor position.
The positions used to be allotted 80 per cent of a full-time equivalent position, which amounted to four days a week. That had been cut to two days a couple of years ago. On Monday, trustees added one day back to each of the positions.
"They're teachers who work in the district office mentoring and supporting teachers in the schools and working directly, in some cases, with students and families," Bacchus said. "It's a small shift, but the feedback we're hearing is that the demand for their support in the district is high. We'd like to be able to move them to full-time positions, but at this point it's still a shortfall budget."
Bacchus said extra costs associated with these budget decisions are covered by savings outlined in revised budget proposals and trustees also agreed to dip further into the capital reserve. The School Act requires school boards to pass balanced budgets.

Richard Gere is one of Hollywood's most recognizable and prolific movie stars.
In a career spanning four decades, he's starred in more than 50 feature films, including blockbusters such as "Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride." In the early '80s, back-to-back performances in "American Gigolo" and "An Officer and a Gentleman" raised temperatures worldwide and cemented Gere's status as a heartthrob and sex symbol.
But for all his accolades, one thing missing from the star's resume is an Academy Award. Many critics were certain a nomination would come for his memorable turn as Billy Flynn in the 2002 best picture Oscar winner, "Chicago." The movie musical earned a whopping 13 nominations, including acting nods for Renee Zellweger, Queen Latifah and John C. Reilly. It sent Catherina Zeta-Jones home with a statue -- but nothing for Gere.
Hollywood has once again shifted into awards gear, and for the first time in a decade, the iconic leading man could get another swing at Oscar. This year, Gere flexed his dramatic muscles in Nicholas Jarecki's "Arbitrage," playing a brilliant but troubled Wall Street tycoon. His performance has received widespread praise from critics as well as a Golden Globe nomination.
With the film now available for home viewing and Oscar voters turning in their ballots, Gere opens up about what a nomination would mean to him, why things such as power, money and beauty don't really matter and the best decision he's ever made about his hair.
CNN: In "Arbitrage," you play a hedge fund fat cat with a lot of personal and professional secrets. Since the economy took a nosedive, these guys are usually the villains, but somehow you make him sympathetic.
Richard Gere: I wouldn't say he's sympathetic; I was trying to make him human. He does a lot bad things, and I didn't want to sugarcoat that, but I don't know how you could sustain this story if the guy was a capital "V" villain. The world has gray areas for all of us. We all compromise constantly. Most of us don't have the opportunity to compromise to the degree that this guy does with that much power and money, but the impulse is the same -- it's just a question of degree. That's what I wanted to do with this. I wanted to be a mirror for ourselves.
CNN: In the first scene, you're celebrating your 60th birthday, and I thought, "There's no way Richard Gere is 60!" But you're 63. ...
Gere: I'm actually 83. (Laughter) I'm very well-preserved. I had six hours of makeup before I came in here.
CNN: That would be a headline. But seriously aging in Hollywood is famously difficult, and you've managed to do it seamlessly.

Found a lot of cool stuff around the webworld and blogosphere in recent days and thought I'd share some of it with you. Let's start with church marketing guru Richard Reising who makes an excellent point about helping to bridge "outsiders" to be "insiders" with his continuing Starbucks analogy.
Brian McLaren furnishes a passel of interesting links from one of his "blog round-ups" here.
There is an intriguing analysis from Ed Stetzer on the latest data from the Barna group looking at behavior and experience during the Christmas season. He furnishes us with a few more links to look at as well.
I'll be teaching an adult Christian ed. class this winter on "how to read the Bible," so I am continually on the lookout for interesting topics and material to help me with my endeavors. Michael Spencer aka internetmonk.com gives props to some books and thinking that might help me out. I thought some of you might like his information as well.
I would have missed this one if it weren't for Scot McKnight's head's up post (his weekly meanderings). Scot shares an insightful and thought-provoking article from Tim Keller on the gospel message. If you're looking for something to kick-start your morning or your thinking, this is it.
Tim Stevens (executive pastor at Granger Church) was one of the speakers at the recent Sticks Conference I attended (and blogged about here). He offers up some thoughts on denominational association and influence on his blog that I thought were worth reading and sharing. Mark Beeson, senior pastor at Granger, tags on his thoughts about the topic here.
Monday Morning Insight blogger, Todd Rhodes, shares this link about the coming trends in mulit-site campuses with this post.
I think this entry from stuff Christians like is hilarious…not only is it funny on its own, but I can totally relate (LOL)!
If I haven't provided you enough fodder for thought yet, how about this furious barrage of links:
HAPPY Blogging!
