X-treme Rock Climbing offers a vertical maze of more than 14,000 square feet of climbing.

In addition to climbing, X-treme Rock Climbing helps patrons achieve physical-fitness goals with yoga classes, a fitness center, and an onsite pro shop.
Ever since football became too rambunctious for the limited confines of mess halls, it has been performed in stadiums. During this year's Pro Bowl weekend, celebrate the only sport legally allowed in football stadiums with today's Groupon. For $7, you get a single-day entry to the South Florida FanFest at the Miami Beach Convention Center—tickets normally cost $15 at the door. The exhibition, a 200,000-square-foot sports-memorabilia and card show, is the largest of its kind in Florida and is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on January 29–31. There is no purchase limit, so pick up a few to attend all three days. Gift a few to your old high-school football teammates to relive the glory days of the Bash Brothers.
Even before you climb inside, the GoCar is clearly a car with a personality. The petite, three-wheeled two-seater has a hood that slightly resembles an eager-to-please smiley face, and an open top that seems custom-made for letting the breeze ruffle your hair. Then the real fun begins: built with the company's own software and a compassion for the voiceless robots of America, a talking GPS system guides two-seater GoCars through the city streets of San Francisco, San Diego, Miami, Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon with cheerful, info-rich narration. Second only to having a knowledgeable local jog alongside your minivan, tours zip along at drivers' own pace and accommodate as many pit stops as time allows.
Since 1986, Brian Lutz has taught a panoply of tennis players how to improve their game and savor the sport's social aspect. Over time, he honed his teaching techniques and eventually devised his own tennis curriculum. In 2003, that curriculum inspired him to launch TennisTip, a program where experienced instructors help adults and teens improve their tennis game through self-discovery and fundamental skills.
TennisTip instructors work to provide hands-off guidance and gentle inspiration, letting students discover their best game through strategic practice. Combined with tennis-specific cardio exercises and an emphasis on social bonding, the regimen seeks to form independent, effective, and affable players out of every student. Since first starting up in the Big Apple, TennisTip has expanded to a second location, where pros instill students with courtside skills amid the warm Miami sun and attentive pelican ball boys.
For 42 years, the venerable auto show has rolled out a fleet of vehicles for the perusal of customers while raising more than $250,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida. More than 1,000 of the latest vehicular creations from manufacturers such as Cadillac, Chevy, and Buick lounge throughout the space, beckoning auto enthusiasts with their sleek frames and glove compartments filled with cupcakes. This year's exhibitions include ride-along demonstrations of alternative fuel vehicles such as the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt, and Topless In Miami, a beach-themed showcase of convertibles from the likes of Mercedes and Jaguar.
In the 1950s, Bayside Marketplace's Pier 5 was a hub of activity, bustling with fishermen, cooks, and gossiping locals. Nowadays, though, the pier is a hub for a more modern demographic: jet skiers. As the home base of Miami Jet Ski Rental, the pier hosts a fleet of 2009 Yamaha VX Deluxe jet skis and a team of CPR- and First Aid-certified staffers. Aboard their rental vessels, adventurers can zoom through Biscayne Bay or take to the Atlantic Ocean, catching glimpses of wildlife such as dolphins, manatees, and librarians.

Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Off with Their Heads
The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties, great or small. "Off with his head!" she said, without even looking round
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
A Pastor's Approach to Science
Since the sermon is the main component used to build the congregation's collective approach to understanding how the church relates to the world, I want to take a few moments to lay out what has worked in my preaching and what has not when it comes to science, and more specifically, the subject of evolution.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Mystery and Faith
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the importance and meaning of mystery in the Bible.
Revealing God's Nature
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
Saturday Sermon: The Failure of Religion
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
Seeing the Flood Story Through an Ancient Israelite Lens
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
Confidence and Slippery Slopes
In today's video, Pastor Brian McClaren notes that the metaphor "slippery slopes" is problematic, because we often assume that we are on the top of the slope to begin with, when in fact changing our views may help us ascend the slope, or to reach a new peak of understanding on the other side.
Saturday Sermon: Heart of Darkness
In the Garden of Eden, Eve is tempted to put her own desires ahead of God's call for her life. The serpent tells her that if she eats of the fruit she can become like God: she, in essence, can become the master of her own fate.
Saturday Sermon: The First Wedding Day
The ordained and blessed tradition of marriage is established in Genesis 2: 18-25. This passage communicates important ideas, Dr. Keller affirms, about both marriage seeking and marriage executing. When considered, these concepts will allow one to be successful in both areas.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Saturday Sermons: The Garden of God
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Series: Mesopotamian Cosmic Geography in the Bible
In this six part series, Brian Godawa takes a closer look at cosmography and its relationship to the Bible. After defining cosmography as a theory that describes features of the heavens and the earth, he relates how his own views about the universe have shifted. He then continues to talk about the Mesopotamian cosmography that is so consistently reflected in Scripture. This view of the universe includes aspects such as the firmament, the pillars, the underworld, the heavens above, the watery abyss. He then explains how one understands these concepts in terms of modern scientific thought.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
America's Culture Wars: A Different Perspective
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Does the Slippery Slope Always Go to the Left?
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright responds to a question from a BioLogos Forum reader who notes that in the world of evangelical Christianity there seems to be a great suspicion about becoming too politically liberal, but few worries about becoming too conservative.
Pastors Dealing With Controversy
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter offers his thoughts on the challenges of preaching on controversial topics and offers advice to pastors who consider introducing these complicated discussions into their own congregations.

They aren't mutually exclusive.
Your list isn't frustrating because it wins easy or loses easy. It's frustrating because it's basically a 1.5 phase army. Foot of Gork and combat. Even movement is basically a non factor in an army like that.
You can have fun AND have a competitive list no problem. Hell, I think my Ogre list was fairly competitive. I was quite high in the rankings, massacred two armies, won another game and narrowly lost the other. But I and all my opponents had fun in every game. You can definitely go in with the attitude that you are going to play hard and win every game, but you don't need to play with attitude. You can still have fun, talk about the hobby, compliment the fella on his army. You never HAVE to take Foot if it just autowins you games. Take another spell instead. I don't think it's your army that's the problem, it's mindset. Winning and fun can happen at the same time. I tabled a guy in three turns and he gave me the vote for his favorite opponent because I was gracious in winning, offered to play him again even to waste time. Your foot of gork game was no fun for you because you cast a spell hoping it would smash a few units, knowing it does. Not trying to be offensive, but it\'s really Operator Error.
Basically, it's not the list that wins and loses games. It's the player. It's not the list that makes games fun or not. It's the player. Play your lists and just change the mindset behind them. Go to win tourneys, but beat their army, not them. Don't feel like you NEED to destroy everyone because it turns personal when you don't or do.
Look at your army and why it's boring. The above case? One phase and one spell army. Add other elements to your army so you are always playing in every phase.
Look at the specifics of your game and why it sucked. Foot beat everything and won the game. Don't always take Foot. You got obliterated in combat? Add a couple redirectors and chaff to pick fights instead of just assuming your giant blocks win every fight.
Look at your mindset. Why are fun and being really competitive not allowed to be inclusive?

About Bob Weinman
Third generation jewelry designer Bob Weinman grew up experiencing the art of jewelry making visiting his father and grandfather at their family business. Engrained with a strong sense of tradition, Bob felt passionate about continuing the business his grandfather created nearly one hundred years ago. Several years back, Bob discovered the original molds and models from his grandfather's line, which inspired the creation of Generations 1912. The craftsmanship and attention to detail of the Art Deco era motivated Bob to continue creating fine jewelry with the look and feel of that bygone period. His family pride, interest, and passion for the business continues with the creation of exciting new items from his grandfather's collection.

A Keeper
Par Marian
de Ontario
I put off purchasing this necklace because I thought it was "too grand or big" to get much wear out of it however, although it is large it is wearable with day to more formal events. The green amethyst seems to blend in with whatever you wear.The earrings are small but they are stud earrings and much more substantial than small 4 mm semi-precious stone studs. I like the design and I think using this design with a larger stone would be a winner. I would love Bob to use the design of the top section of this necklace for an earring -- just as is with the green amethyst and emerald or any other combination.I gave a rating of "4 stars" because (surprisingly) there was a tiny inclusion (bubble) in the centre of the large stone. Since it is dead centre I won't send it back; sometimes this bubble catches the light and sparkles making it look like it belongs.

Unique and Beautiful
Par Jewelry Fanatic
de Toronto
I've been watching this necklace for some time and finally had the chance to buy it before it sells out. The design is so unique and beautiful - a nice vintage look.The amethyst stones are so clear and their size make a statement. However, the delicate shade of green tones it down perfectly. How elegant! I also love the attractive chain. I can wear this during the day with a suit (with pants), dresses or for evening. It's actually versatile.The earrings are too small for my taste but when I put them on, I was surprised that they had presence. I'm enjoying this piece.

The necklace is beautiful. I am really happy with it. The stones are clear and a lovely shade of green. The workmanship is outstanding. I put the pendant on a long silver chain giving it a more casual look, good to wear to work or out to dinner. The earrings are delicate and can be worn by all ages. I am very happy with my purchase!

Not as expected
Par Bunkie
de Alberta
Had been watching this item for a few months and finally decided to order once earrings had been re-worked for a set. Unfortunatley the main stone in the necklace received was included and the earrings were terribly tarnished with bent posts. Would have need a jeweller to repair them. I just didn't love the set on sight and had to send it back.

This set is absolutely awesome.All Generations 1912 pieces have gorgeous engraving which makes them really special and different.The earrings are very nice and not to big. A 90 year old and a 14 year old could wear them and they would look nice.The necklace is a stunning piece. It is a bold piece that will deffinately get people's attention. It has a vintage feel that I love.The set is well made and very beautiful!

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak's decision to break away from the Labor Party and form his own centrist faction is a boost to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. With the remaining members of Labor now shifted to the opposition, Netanyahu has rid his coalition of several Knesset members who are opposed to his policies. In the long run, Barak's new party will, as David Hazony noted yesterday, provide unwanted competition for the largest opposition party, Kadima, making the path to power for it and its leader, Tzipi Livni, far more difficult.
Livni is understandably upset about this development and vented her spleen today in some over-the-top comments when she complained that Barak's decision was "the dirtiest act in history." Given the fact that party-jumping has been a staple of Israeli politics throughout the country's short history, it's hard to make an argument that this understandable breakup between the centrists and the old leftists in Labor is any kind of a scandal. It is just the belated recognition on the part of Barak that he is better off letting Labor's far-left activists merge with what remains of those factions that were to Labor's left rather than sticking with them. Labor was once Israel's dominant and natural party of government, but today it is as bankrupt — and obsolete — as the kibbutzim that symbolized the country's socialist dreams.
But while Livni is the biggest Israeli loser in this transaction, there's little doubt that it is just as much of a blow to President Barak Obama and his unrealistic approach to the Middle East. Read More

The food and wine were outstanding, but the service was equally as good. It was the perfect 2.5 hour lunch with friends after walking the beautiful town of Assisi. We could not have been more impressed with the whole afternoon.
The food and wine were outstanding, but the service was equally as good. It was the perfect 2.5 hour lunch with friends after walking the beautiful town of Assisi. We could not have been more impressed with the whole afternoon.
We had many memorable meals in Italy, but the show stopper was our dinner at the Locanda del Podesta in Assisi! We had read about the restaurant in one of our guide books and were shocked to find that our family of 4 were the only diners that evening. Our meal was a culinary treat from our appetizers to dessert.... More
My fiance and i thought that the gnocchi gorgonzola was the best either of us had eaten! It was so fresh and fluffy, and the sauce was amazing! We also managed some lovely lamb cutlets & beautiful house wine- a great great meal and very reasonably priced.
The menu is very limited and the place pretty simple, but the food is tasty and cheap and they have a good wine list. I liked the chef's gnocchi and the fried chicken.
This was recommended to us by our hosts at a Terrazza Del Subasio. In the week we stayed in Assisi, we ate there twice. The food was amazing. The first night I had the pappardelle with wild boar sauce - superb! My husband started with an ice cold beer, which we found rare in Europe, then had the 18E fixed... More
We were warmly welcomed into this restaurant as a family of four. The waiter spoke wonderful english and was very helpful and attentive throughout our meal. We had two pastas to share as our starter (the gnocci was a must-have!) and each had a main meat course with sides. The quality of the meat and the richness of seasonings were... More
We ate a lot of delicious food in Italy, but Locanda de Podesta sticks out for my husband and me. He started with gnocci with a cream sauce with black truffle, and I had a delicious pasta dish with very fresh black pepper. We shared a main course of Umbrian sausage (yum!) and spinach. The red house wine was quite... More
After a long tour of San Francesco Basilica, we were quite hungry and remembered our friend's recommendation that there was a pretty good restaurant up Via S. Giacomo. We walked up slowly to Locanda del Podesta' to be greeted by warm staff. Their food was wonderfully made & delicious. Truly Italiano.
Quaint restaurant away from the crowded main streets and a short walk from San Francesco. The menu degustazione is a great value for 18 Euro and comes with decent portions. I had an incredible tagliata con raddicchio; I had been craving steak after eating so much pasta and it was the best I had on my trips thru Tuscany. Friendly... More
Locanda del Podesta' is not only a gourmet experience, but a fun place to enjoy a memorable meal. Chef Stelvio is a young cook who doesn't compromise. Try fettuccine al cinghiale ( wild boar), a house specialty ....but try also the finger licking lamb and wonderful grilled vegetables. My husband and I have been going there since we bought our...

I can't stand the criticism of the victims and the police. Where is the harsh criticism of the THIEFS ??????
Posted by resident , a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 10:33 am
This kind of activity is only going to get worse. It is a direct result of the poor economy, and you can bet 2013 will be a financial disaster for our country. Palo Alto is prosperous so we are a magnet for those who feel entitled to take whatever they want, either through break-ins or taxes.
Posted by Allen Edwards, a resident of the Old Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 10:45 am
My house was burgled once and it was in the rain. I think rain may actually help burglars as it keeps witnesses away. One of the problems here is living on the creak. I once had a boss who lived on the creak and his house was broken into at least once a year. He put an alarm up on all the interior doors and that stopped it.
Posted by Enough!, a resident of the Charleston Gardens neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 11:00 am
Perhaps you shouldn't blame the victims and the cops. Blame the ignorant narcissistic thugs who feel entitled to appropriate the property of others, and blame yourselves next time you think that burglary is a crime of materialism and should not be subject to strict punishment. It's not the lost crap that matters as much as the intense feeling of violation and a sense of security you never get back.
Posted by neighbor, a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 11:46 am
There is no possible excuse for this crime of burglary.
My question: does these homeowners feel they were targeted (had been cased before or were known to have certain items like jewelry or whatnot) or was this strictly a crime of opportunity? It appears the criminals spent quite a bit of time - were persistent - getting into and robbing this particular home.
Are we all "equal" as targets(homeowners or apartment renters)or are there major differences in where these bad guys break in? - Like for example, where I live, there are some cars around that make it appear there are more people there than may be the case sometime. On University Ave, I assume personal cars are not visible but there IS traffic going by...though there are some very large, private lots. Any insights to help us gauge our risk, anyone?
Thanks to the homeowners for sharing what happened - sorry for your loss.
Posted by McGruff, a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 12:20 pm
"Community" is so very important to successfully fight against crime. That's why PA is having a tough time. Too many solo acts not wanting to associate much with their neighbors...everyone in it for themselves. Good luck.
Posted by hmm....., a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 12:54 pm
These people very clearly were targeted. Unfortunately, nearby construction often is associated with increases in local breakins ....
Posted by Mr.Recycle, a resident of the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 1:29 pm
@resident of crescent park - if you think it is because of the economy, why didn't crime spike 3 years ago when the economy was much worse, unemployment higher, etc.. Crime is spiking because the police force has been cut (not just here, but all around the bay). I'm sure the weakening of the three strikes law isn;t going to help either.
Posted by musical, a resident of the Palo Verde neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Given the weather and such a high gate and having to break and climb through a high window it is fortunate that the crook didn't hurt himself. This could have devolved into an expensive lawsuit. We are confronted with an asymmetric situation, where one side has everything to lose and the other side risks very little.
Posted by Merida, a resident of the Professorville neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 4:18 pm
We have had neighbors burglarized, some of them twice. Most recently, a neighbor across the street and one next door were burglarized the same week.
We have always had at least one big dog, and in 20 years have never had a break-in. We even had a golden retriever, who rarely barked and was almost a welcome mat, alerted us to the fact that something was wrong next door on several occasions. Turned out the mother and father were physically abusing their small daughter! That dog would lay down, stare toward the fence between the two houses, and growl in a deep voice. We and the neighbors on the other side called the authorities a couple of times, and soon these people had a for sale sign on their house and announced that they were moving back to Japan. Probably not because of the dog, but dogs do have an innate sense of knowing when all is not well. Cheap insurance that loves you back.
Posted by Jane, a resident of the Old Palo Alto neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Nearby construction is the perfect recipe for having your home burglarized. The construction workers get to know the schedules of the nearby neighbors. It's not always contruction workers, but they certainly get to know the neighbors cars, schedules, habits, etc. And when you call the PA Police Department if you see suspicious looking people in the neighborhood, you get a lecture on "civil rights."
Posted by musical, a resident of the Palo Verde neighborhood, on Nov 29, 2012 at 6:23 pm
Key words to say are "suspicious acting" not "suspicious looking", even though there may be no difference.
Posted by Victim, a resident of the Crescent Park neighborhood, on Nov 30, 2012 at 8:01 am
I'm the burglary victim, and no, we don't think we were specifically targeted (there is no reason why we would be). Also there was no nearby construction. We believe we simply weren't at home when the burglars knocked on our door. It is also obvious from our backyard that we have a large dog who happened to be out for a walk at the time. The police responded almost immediately, did an incredibly careful review of the scene, and are VERY serious about these crimes - we were both thankful and impressed with their skill.
Posted by Palo Altan, a member of the Palo Alto High School community, on Nov 30, 2012 at 8:25 am
Wow, how rude for people to think construction workers are criminals! Get real!

So much for �Lock It Or Lose It�.
People need to:
1) Photograph and thoroughly describe all of their valuables.
2) Please these photos in a safe place (such as an on-line storage box).
3) Invest in some sort of a safe, if the have �thousands� of dollars of jewelry.
4) Consider moving their valuables to a safe deposit box in a bank.
5) Invest in a home security system of some sort.
6) Make certain that they have a home-owner�s insurance policy that covers the loss of their personal possessions.
7) Make certain everyone who is employed on the premises has provided a full resume, and agrees to fingerprints and a picture, for your files�which are kept off-site.
The Police should:
1) Hire some private sector patrols to increase their presence about town.
2) Provide better documentation to the public about these break-ins.
3) Offer cash for leads.
4) Begin to promote home security systems�rather than �Lock It Or Lose It�

ACU Digital Camouflage - Military Captain Insignia, CPT
Product Info - Wholesale ACU Digital Camouflage - Military Captain Insignia, CPTCategory - Wholesale ACU Rank InsigniaArmy Navy Store » Military Patches, Insignia, Ribbons, Dog Tags » ACU Rank Insignia
Insignia (the plural of Latin insigne: emblem, symbol) is a symbol or token of personal power, status or office, or of an official body of government or jurisdiction. Insignia are especially used as an emblem of a specific or general authority. Rank insignia represents the rank of each personnel in the US military. The higher rank the officer is the more authority and responsibility the officer has. There are 3 categories in the rank system, enlisted members being the lowest, warrant officers being higher than enlisted members and commissioned officers being above all. Within each category there are ranks, for enlisted members the lowest rank is Private and the highest rank is Sergeant Major of the Army. Each rank is denoted with a different insignia identifying ones rank and if they are superior or inferior to other military personnel. Rank insignia are usually worn on hats, on the shoulder of uniforms or around the waist and chest. Rank insignia arent only worn by military personnel, they can be worn for style and clothing accessory purposes. The Army Combat Uniform (ACU) is the current combat uniform worn by the United States Army. It is the successor to the Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) and Desert Camouflage Uniform (DCU) worn during the 1980s and 1990s. All our ACU rank inignias have a hook loop closure and do not need to be sowed onto any garments. Hook and loop patches are military patches that contain a hook and loop closure. Hook-and-loop fasteners consists of two layers: a "hook" side, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny hooks, and a "loop" side, which is covered with even smaller and "hairier" loops. When the two sides are pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and hold the pieces together. When the layers are separated, the strips make a characteristic "ripping" sound. Hook and loop is surprisingly strong. Generally military patches are attached to the front of the chest or on the side sleeve on the uniform. ACU rank insignia will add patriotism to your clothing when attached. All our ranking are official military issued rankings as of 2009. We offer both United States Army enlisted rank insignia and United States Army officer rank insignia. ACU rank insignias are great for military wear, fashion wear, custom wear, battle reenactments, gifts, and much more. ACU Rank Insignia is also known as military patches, army combat uniforms stitches, sewn clothing arts, digital deserts symbols, etc. ACU Rank Insignia is commonly misspelled as camo sleeves, etc.

the network for radical unschooling families
Started by Marlowe. Last reply by Liz and Marc Full-Time Feb 10. 2 Replies 0 Likes
Are there any new books on homeschooling or family life that you'd recommend? I read…Continue
Yes, let's connect. I'll check out your blog. I'm on facebook as well so let's chat. I'm also glad to meet up with other homeschoolers to share.
Ramona, Thank you so much for responding to my post! It has been a challenge trying to connect with other homeschoolers. Yes, let us connect and exchange thoughts and ideas for sure. Hope to chat with you soon.
Is any one here in the chicago area?
Tobia, I would love to connect with you. l have one teenager, though like his syblings he's more like a young adult. he's 18...I guess that's not the same as 10. ...would love to chat about teen experiences while homeschooling. I may have some helpful thoughts and ideas. Right now, I'm working on the new relationship I have with them as fellow adults. It's not too weird...especially since our past experiences have been about honestly communicating with one another.
Hmmm. I don't see how I can reply to each comment here. Darcel...all three children slept in the bed with me and my husband. My husband and I purchased a bed for our daughter when she was about 4 years old. He and I took turns sleeping in the bed with her. I'll never forget the way my husband one night returned to our room in 10-min after he went into the room to sleep with our daughter. He had such a gloomy sad look on his face. I asked him, what happened. He said, "She told me to leave. That I was crowding her bed." Our cue that she likes the quiet solitude of her own space...though for a while she would return to our room to sleep with us when she wanted the communal warmth of mom and dad's bed. ...and had I to do it again, I would still have a family bed.
My kids are all under 10
Would love to connect with anyone that has teenagers. I have thirteen yr old son. This is our first year of homeschooling and would love to meet you.
@Ifasayo ... I believe the concept of unschooling is not being locked in to scheduled and predetermined guidelines by the system but rather catering to the learning styles and needs of each individual child and find what best fits your household... someone correct me if I am wrong.

Members of the international community on Saturday forged an agreement for a transition to end the violence in and bring peace to Syria.
The first step should be a recommitment to a cease-fire by both sides and implementation of a U.N. and Arab League-backed six-point plan without waiting for the actions of others, Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan said.
A key to the process will be a transitional government, which Annan said could include members of the current Syrian regime. The make-up of such a body would be decided by the Syrians, he said.
"We are determined to work together urgently and intensively, to bring an end to the violence and the human rights abuses and the launch of a Syrian-led political process leading to a transition that meets the legit aspiration of the Syrian people," Annan said.
The agreement also calls on the Syrian government to release detainees and allow journalists access to the country. The right to peaceful demonstrations must be respected, Annan said.
The agreement is a last-gasp attempt to end the carnage in Syria and contain a growing crisis that some diplomats warn could potentially engulf the entire region.
Ahead of the meeting, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Russia and China were making negotiations on the subject "very difficult."
The United States and many other nations demand Syrian President Bashar al-Assad step down to make way for a transitional unity government. Russia says his future must be decided solely by the Syrian people, with no outside interference.
In the end, the so-called "Action Group," including China and Russia, agreed to the new plan.
Under the agreement, it remains possible for al-Assad to remain part of a transitional government, an idea unpalatable to many.

Ionsys Side Effects
Generic name: fentanyl
Note: This document contains side effect information about fentanyl. Some of the dosage forms listed on this page may not apply to the brand name Ionsys.
Some side effects of Ionsys may not be reported. Always consult your doctor or healthcare specialist for medical advice. You may also report side effects to the FDA.
For the Consumer
Applies to fentanyl: sublingual spray, sublingual tablet
Other dosage forms:
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using fentanyl and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
slow heart rate, weak or shallow breathing, sighing, severe drowsiness;
confusion, extreme fear, unusual thoughts or behavior; or
feeling like you might pass out.
Less serious side effects of fentanyl may include:
dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, constipation;
headache, drowsiness, tired feeling; or
white patches or sores inside your mouth or on your lips.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to fentanyl: buccal film, buccal tablet, compounding powder, injectable solution, nasal spray, oral lozenge, oral transmucosal lozenge, sublingual spray, sublingual tablet, transdermal device, transdermal film extended release
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included mental and respiratory depression (particularly in the elderly), stupor, delirium, somnolence, and dysphoria. Muscle rigidity (involving the respiratory musculature including the glottis) may also occur and further aggravate the respiratory depression associated with fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) therapy. Myoclonus has been reported with the use of transdermal therapy. A case of severe hemiplegic migraine attack precipitated by fentayl sedation has also been reported.
Cases of seizures have occasionally been reported, but some investigators have suggested that the seizure-like events reported may have been episodes of fentanyl induced-rigidity.
Fentanyl shares the potential for abuse associated with other narcotic analgesics. Cases of inhalation of the contents of fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) patches and oral ingestion of intravenous preparations have been reported.
Other side effects have included withdrawal symptoms (agitation, restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, tremor, abdominal cramps, blurred vision, vomiting, and sweating) after either abrupt cessation or fast tapering of narcotic analgesics.
Cardiovascular side effects have included hypotension, bradycardia, and arrhythmias rarely.
One report has suggested that epidural fentanyl may mask the pain of myocardial ischemia in patients treated with fentanyl for other reasons. Another report has suggested that QTc interval prolongation may occur in some patients receiving the related narcotic sufentanil. Another report has implicated fentanyl as a potential cause of pulsus alternans in a patient with aortic stenosis and congestive heart failure.
Nevertheless, fentanyl has been advocated by some as a satisfactory agent for coronary artery surgery.
Gastrointestinal side effects including nausea, vomiting, and constipation have been reported to have occurred commonly. Dental decay of varying severity including dental caries, tooth loss, and gum line erosion have been reported. Choledochoduodenal sphincter spasm has been reported rarely.
Respiratory side effects have included respiratory depression which has been frequently observed with fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) therapy and one case of acute noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Coughing has been reported following fentanyl administration for anesthesia induction.
Genitourinary side effects including urinary retention have been reported for other narcotic analgesics. A case of priapism has been associated with fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) anesthesia.
Dermatologic side effects have included pruritus which has been reported frequently. Localized rashes (associated with the use of transdermal fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) patches) and, less commonly, systemic rashes have also been reported.
Hypersensitivity side effects including anaphylaxis have been reported rarely.
The hemolysis observed may have been related to rapid injection of large volumes of hypotonic fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) solution. The authors therefore recommend slower injection rates and/or mixture in isotonic fluid.
Hematologic side effects have included one study which suggested that a small amount of hemolysis (of uncertain clinical significance) may occur in patients treated with fentanyl.
Immunologic side effects including a case of recurrent herpes simplex infection have been reported following epidural administration of fentanyl (the active ingredient contained in Ionsys) Intravenous fentanyl has been reported to increase natural killer cell cytotoxicity and circulating CD16+ lymphocyte levels.
Metabolic side effects including a case of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone have been reported.

Lawn Ornaments
Indianapolis International Airport - 7800 Col. H. Weir Cook Memorial Drive - Indianapolis (West Indy)Featured in the airport's On Screen video wall art program through June, Barry Anderson's Lawn Ornaments leads off the latest IND art exhibits. Anderson transforms vintage pop-cultural imagery into looping, meditative video animations and installations. Characterized by intense colors and floating geometric shapes, his pieces update 1950s-19 70s aesthetics for a destabilized, digital present. Objects come steadily closer or journey across the frame at a measured pace, which is the exact opposite of the quick-edit diet fed to the viewer by most mass media. By slowing the action, Anderson lures the viewer in; his animations behave more like paintings in the way that they engage the viewer. In Lawn Ornaments, Anderson creates a bug's-eye view of a slow march across a suburban lawn, with roiling clouds above, subtle images in the grass, and the occasional leap of a snail shell. The original version is 3-1/2 minutes long, with five computers taking the better part of a week to render it for the On Screen program. Anderson, a native of Greenville, Texas, received his bachelor of fine arts in photography from the University of Texas at Austin and master of fine arts in photography and digital media from the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts at Indiana University, Bloomington. He currently lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri. His pieces have been seen in international fairs and festivals of new-media art from Bangkok to Dubai. From press release

We're nearing the end of tax season and kids play a big part of your bottom line. Whether they're newborns or away at college, there are tax considerations that come with having children. In this post we'll look at a few of the provisions of the tax code that applies to children, but by all means consult a tax specialist if you have questions concerning your particular situation.
First of all you want to make sure that your child qualifies as a dependent for your tax purposes. If you are still married to your child's other parent and they are under 18, then the answer is likely yes. Once they move on to college, the answer can still be yes as long as you continue to provide for more than half of their support. If you are divorced, then your divorce decree may spell out which parent claims the child for taxes.
A child can only be claimed on one income tax return every year as a dependent. As was mentioned above, in divorce situations where the agreement does not specify the tax situation, only one parent can claim the child. And, if your child is off at college but has income, they cannot claim themselves if you have claimed them on your taxes. Be sure that you have these conversations to stay out of trouble with the IRS.
The most common component to your taxes regarding children is generally the exemption that you get for having a child. The exemption amount per person for the 2011 tax year is $3,700. Right off the bat, this saves you $925 in taxes if you are in the 25% tax bracket.
You can get credit for hiring child care in order for you to work. If you pay someone to care for your children under age 13 while you work or look for work, those expenses can be claimed as a tax credit. To claim this credit, you must identify the persons or organization that you paid to watch your children, but this credit can result in up to 35% of your work-related expenses being credited to your taxes. Certain rules, conditions, and restrictions apply so be sure to check with your tax professional
There is also the child tax credit. As opposed to an exemption which merely lowers your taxable income, a credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the amount of taxes that you owe. For the 2011 tax year the maximum is $1,000 per child, and there is a provision to file for an additional child tax credit if you do not receive the maximum amount of credit per child. There is an income limitation for claiming this credit based on your filing status, so not everyone is eligible.
For a child with income, there are certain limits above which they are required to file an income tax return as well. Those limits are based on the types of income, whether earned, unearned, or a mix of both. For income below these amounts, the parent may be required to file the child's income on their tax form, particularly for certain types of investment income. Even if your child is not required to file, it might be beneficial for them to do so in order to claim a refund on any income taxes paid in during the year from working.
For educational expenses, two types of credit are available for 2011 - the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) and American Opportunity Credit (AOC). The AOC can only be claimed for the first four years of education and creates a credit of up to $2,500. The LLC, on the other hand, is up to $2,000 per year and there is no limit on the number of years it can be claimed. You cannot claim both during the same year, but these are also a direct credit against the taxes that are owed. Conditions apply so be sure you understand the rules for claiming these credits.
Tuition and fees can be deducted from your taxable income as well, but again there are income limits. The IRS also restricts you from taking this deduction and either of the two credits mentioned previously, but if your situation does not allow you to take those credits then this might be your only option.
For your high-achieving students, any scholarship money awarded in excess of the qualified educational expenses incurred is treated as taxable income. Please note that room and board for a child away at school is not considered a qualified educational expense. The excess income might be claimed by the child or it may need to be claimed by the parent, depending on the situation. The excess amount will be reflected on the form 1098-T that your child receives at the end of the tax year.
Taxes are confusing, but having children in the mix generally brings a lot of benefit to your tax situation. Be sure that you don't overlook any of these credits or deductions as you file your taxes.
The information contained in this post is to be used strictly as a guide and is not meant to convey professional tax or accounting advice. Consult your tax professional for more information. Also, the following IRS publications are the primary guides that address children and the tax situations described above:

Publication 972 – Child Tax Credit
Publication 970 – Tax Benefits for Education

Brandy is getting serious with her current boyfriend and says marriage is definitely in the cards...
Bran tells The Boom Box
Yes! It's on the radar for me and I told him [my boyfriend, an A&R named Ryan], "Babe, I want to get married but I think it's hot in my interviews if I say you're my boyfriend still!"
"I like the way that sounds! I want a ring and everything, but it just sounds younger to call him my boyfriend. He didn't like that, but I'm totally ready. I want to get married. I know I'm 33, but I like the feeling of forever young. My daughter keeps me young, she keeps me current."

Great Travel Moment Lake Powell in Arizona is one of the most breathtaking places to visit. I felt like I was on Mars next to the orange sunkissed rocks that came in all shapes and sizes. This photo was taken of some friends that were exploring the rocks and taking in the sunset. The formations of the rocks are naturally expressive and evoke an otherworldly feeling. The trip was so enjoyable because I was surrounded by friends for the 4th of July festivities. I will never forget the backdrop of fireworks exploding next to the glowing lake and serene rocks. Lake Powell is magistical and unforgettable. Comments (1)

Born in Philadelphia, Charles Sheeler studied art at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Design (1900–03) and at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1903–06) before traveling to Europe. In 1912 he took up commercial photography in order to earn a living while he continued to paint. Sheeler was a versatile artist who moved easily between painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and film, and there are many correlations between his works in different mediums. In the 1920s and 1930s Sheeler and Charles Demuth, among others, worked in a style of painting called Precisionism. Sheeler's sharply focused depictions of buildings, machinery, and interiors were often based on his own photographs.
Between 1926 and 1934 Sheeler produced a series of seven paintings — among them "Americana" — that depict the interior of his home in South Salem, New York, and his prized collection of early American furnishings. "Americana," as well as the others, may have been based on one of the interior photographs that Sheeler took of his house about 1929. Filled with a profusion of precisely rendered objects — but no people — the painting seems oddly frozen in time and emotionally distant. The floor and furniture seem to tip upward toward the viewer, making them look off-balance and rather two-dimensional. The long trestle table and the two side benches hover like flat boards over the other furniture and the floor. The conflicting geometric and linear patterns of the four rugs, two pillows, woven sofa covering, backgammon set, and cast shadows add to our visual discomfort, as does the unusual cropping of objects. The verity of Sheeler's realism, however, makes us willing to accept these inconsistencies. The painting is as much a portrait of the artist's living space as it is a statement about national pride and the values of home and craftsmanship.

Daily BS in MW3
Like (0)
What are your thoughts on the balance of guns in MW3? How about nerfing some guns such as the Type 95, MK14, FMG-9 akimbos, etc. What guns do you feel need a buff? I feel like the AA-12, PM-9 and CM901 need a buff, care to add to that list?
I also feel like Deathstreaks are BS too. Where is the logic in having a person blow up and get a free kill (obviously talking about Dead Man's Hand), while it takes no skill and could end a nice killstreak, etc.
The #1 thing I'm most upset about is the spawn system. I mean really, WTF??
P.S. I am also on YouTube, my latest video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-qwygDGU3g
Awesome. My theory was correct in that this forum can't go one day without a new thread regarding weapon nerfs.
Man this post is the perfect daily trifecta
Nerf guns-check
Complain about deathstreaks-check
Check out my youtube channel-check
Day, try hour.
And why the **** would you nerf the MK14? I see that weapon used about one out of every 15 matches. And it actually takes skill to use, unlike others.....
Completely agree. It takes a lot of skill to use. That first shot needs to be right on at medium or close range.
disagree with you there man, I find that gun amazingly easy to use and have my best overall KDR with it...
Buff all the shotguns except the Striker.

I've installed Livezilla 188.8.131.52 on my web site and the client logs in fine. The file permissions and database validate OK too.
When I go to the server test page and click the Demo Chat button the window loads fine, but the chat request never appears in the client. I also can't see any visitors.
The following is displayed in the web chat window:
System is getting started. [Sat Apr 07 2012 14:58:26 GMT+0100]
A representative will be connected, please be patient.
We are still trying to connect you, please be patient. If you don't want to wait please leave a message. Thank you!
No chat requests pop up in the client, and I've tried creating new users / groups and adjusting permissions.
When I set the user to Offline in the client, the web chat window displays the following message straight away:
The representative has left the conversation. If you have further questions please leave a message. Thank you!
It seems that the web chat window is aware of the status of the user in the LiveZilla client, but the chat requests just don't make it through. Is there anything else I can try?
I've checked the 'Log' tab and it only shows that the user has signed in. Initially I did get an error about safe_mode being on, but my host recommended installing PHPFCGI and the error no longer appears.
Kind regards,
