About Walking in Mallorca
You're spoilt for choice when it comes to walks and hikes around this beautiful island.
Once the summer season is over, Mallorca becomes a hive of activity for not only those clad in lycra cycling gear but also for ramblers, climbers and deep water soloists. The Tramuntana Mountain range in West Mallorca and the more modest Serra de Llevant mountains in the East see more and more visitors as hiking boots are retrieved from the cupboard and given a quick dust-off.
Although walking and hiking in Mallorca has become more popular in recent years, most paths and routes are still very quiet so you often feel like you have the whole place to yourself. It may be that you only have to share the views with a couple of mountain goats! Walking in Mallorca can take you past some beautiful scenery that many miss out on during beach holidays. There really is so much to offer walkers and there are routes suitable for beginners right through to more advanced walkers. Mallorca has a total of five summits that reach over 1000m for those looking for more of a challenge, and there are many hiking trails that will take you to the summits.
The Government have invested a great deal of money in developing walking trails and paths to make walking in Mallorca much more accessible. Many paths that exist already are marked out with wooden sign posts and they are very well marked every few km's. You do have to watch the path when walking in Mallorca, as some 800 years ago the entire island was claimed as private property. Although many paths are of course accessible to the public, some areas are split by gates or fences that must be closed behind you. Please do not trespass if there are clear signs not to do so!
Enjoy any one of the coastline walks and admire the sea with its hidden coves and crystal blue waters. Or try some more challenging mountain trails and discover pure water fountains, wild goats and stalagmite caves. You may even spot one of Spain's rare breeds - the eagle.
The best time for hiking is probably spring or late summer, when the temperatures are slightly cooler and the crowds have disappeared. Spring is also a wonderful time to walk through the countryside, when flowers and greenery fill the landscapes. Late summer and autumn may not be so green but it is still warm enough for a swim should you happen to come accross a hidden bay.
We have compiled a list of hiking routes, ranging from very gentle village walks, to walks where you can enjoy the coastline and the more challenging mountain hiking trails. The paths are normally very well sign posted and well maintained. Please do take note of any 'tresspassing' signs - some of the land is privately owned (around 90% of the Tramuntana range is not accessible for this reason). The government is currently talking to the land owners to try and negotiate public rights of way along pre-existing paths.
If you come into any difficulty whilst walking in the hills, there is a mountain rescue service available - call 112. This service is free, but you should of course always have travel insurance which includes any activities that you may be undertaking whilst visiting Mallorca.
Read about our suggested hiking routes in our Mallorca Hiking Routes guide.

DETROIT (AP) - A Detroit fourth-grader took on a new role at least for one day.
Police chief.
The 9-year-old who has always wanted to be a Detroit officer was made "Chief for a Day" in a ceremony Friday.
Jayvon Felton's temporary appointment came nine months after he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Chief Jayvon's new gig was coordinated by police Capt. Darwin Roche and the Children's Hospital Foundation.
Every-other-day Detroit Chief James Craig says Jayvon's trip to police headquarters Friday "reminds us ... how important every precious moment is."
Wearing a blue S.W.A.T. uniform, Jayvon arrived by helicopter and was greeted by classmates from Roberto Clemente Academy, police dogs and mascots that included the Detroit Tigers' Paws.
Jayvon smiled as Craig administered the oath of office.

These are translations of Gulenko's lectures at School of Humanitarian Socionics (SHS), posting them here to keep all of his videos together. I wanted to translated a few more and will be posting them up when they're done, but for now any thoughts or comments on these three lectures?
I've decided to split these videos from Gulenko Interview thread as it was too many different topics being piled onto the same discussion.
V.G. What is the essence of dual relations in your opinion? Why do all schools of Soconics consider them to be the best relations for life together?
Audience: They support weak functions, cover for them, and unlock the strong functions.
V.G. Dual relations allow people to not waste their energy and efforts on doing something that they aren't good at and instead redirect all that energy to that which they do well.
Audience: Also give a sense of personal value ...
V.G. But is a dual appreciated right away? No, from a distance a dual isn't appealing. This type of relation develops only within close distances, only then you begin to appreciate your dual. If you've run into trouble and your dual has helped you, you sense he can provide help further on. Until you sense that returning energy, that he/she is off-loading problems from your shoulders, duals are usually not appreciated. That's why dual appeals the most when you're facing difficulties, but when you're feeling fine, no problems, no depressions, nobody is oppressing or coercing you, you're doing what you like, in this case where are you going to be pulled? Not to your duals, not to your quadra ... but to what will be you attracted?
Audience: Identicals?
V.G. You'll be pulled to you Club http://wikisocion.org/en/index.php?title=Club, that is, Humanitarians will be attracted to other Humanitarians [NF to NF]. It's no longer up to your vital deep core values, but your interests and hobbies: "It's interesting for me to spend time with him".
We have talked about why duality is considered to be the most comfortable for life relations. But, as with any relations there is the other side to this coin. Tell me, in which ways are dual relations deficient? What are their shortcomings?
Audience: Encapsulation?
V.G. Yes, there's loss of practice because people grow so close together. By the way if duality is very strong, often time people become very much alike each other, then it becomes difficult to tell who is who, even who's the extravert and who's the introvert becomes unclear so much they adopt from each other and become alike. The problem is loss of training of weaker functions. If you are "torn away" from your dual, you'll have a heap of problems that you've forgot how to solve because previously someone was doing all of this for you. Especially, in my opinion, I'm emphasizing this, this is not as difficult in a married couple as in a dual relation of mother and child. This separation will inevitably occur - the child will need to leave his or her mother, start new relationships with other people. But the dual side will be pulling him or her back - it's like an adhesive that will make it difficult for the child to break free.
Audience: Can't the dual train their partner on the weaker functions?
V.G. *shakes head* The dual can give advice and explain, but it's much easier to take it up yourself and do it for the other. Therefore there is very little training. The break up of a duality thus brings much anguish and suffering for both people. If duality was very strong, and one dual has departed from life, the other one doesn't remain for very long.
Audience: But can duals strike up contracts at high levels of relations - you teach me this, I teach you that?
V.G. This is a logical approach. We will talk later about this, in which relations it makes sense to logically talk things over. In dual relations, this doesn't make sense. There there is a need to feel each other here. This is more important in duality than logical negotiations.

The Clay County School Board has been discussing some ideas, that if they happen, could mean major changes within the schools.
Review Cites Unprofessional, Uncooperative Behavior by Former Public Health Director
State Auditor Adam Edelen today released a review of the Cumberland Valley District Health Department (CVDHD) that found internal controls, management and board oversight are lacking.
A doctor in another part of Kentucky wrote prescriptions for 41,165 pills to 197 Clay Countians during May, June and July of this year, according to Clay County Sheriff Kevin Johnson.
A review of the last five audits of the Cumberland Valley District Health Department shows that in Fiscal Year 2010-2011 the district was hit with an expenditure of $1,441,860, for which it had only budgeted $392,931.
The couple accused of manufacturing methamphetamine in their home, causing their 11-month-old to be hospitalized, had their bonds revoked Monday in Clay Circuit Court.

Donald Calhoun Chavous Jr. J.D. '95, 61, of Rancho Mirage, passed away July 29, 2014, in his sleep. Born Aug. 11, 1952, to Donald and Patricia Chavous, Don spent his early years in Bushnell, Florida. In 1967, Don received a congressional appointment to work as a page for the House of Representatives. He lived and worked in Washington, D.C., from 1967-1969, attending the Capitol Page School. Classes were held in the attic of the Library of Congress, during some of the most turbulent times in Washington, D.C., history. He received his high school diploma in 1969, at the age of 16. Don became a student at the University of Florida, majoring in chemical engineering. Just prior to completing his bachelor's degree, he was awarded the unheard of opportunity of early transfer to medical school at the University of Miami, achieving his Medical Doctorate (M.D.) in 1976. From 1977-1980, Don served as a doctor in the Navy, with the rank of lieutenant commander - traveling from Pearl Harbor to the Bering Sea, and eventually to Moffett Field, California. After working in California at Cupertino Medical Clinic (1980-1982), he co-founded and directed Los Altos Medical Clinic in 1983. It was around this time he fell in love with a nurse, Linda Larson, and her 6-year-old son, David. They married Sept. 9, 1985, and had a daughter, Emily, in 1988. Always one for a challenge, Don returned to school at Santa Clara University of Law, earning a Juris Doctorate (J.D.) in 1995. While still hard at work full time as a physician, he began work as an attorney with his own private practice, specializing in medical malpractice and personal injury. In 1998, the family relocated to sunny Southern California, where Don continued double duty as an attorney-at-law as well as full time urgent care physician, saving lives with Desert Medical Group (now Desert Oasis Healthcare). Over the years, Don was an avid skier, tennis player, basketball player, golfer, hiker, and loved watching ESPN. He had a passion for the open road, and took many long rides across the Western U.S. on his '97 Valkyrie motorcycle, becoming very involved with the Valkyrie Riders Cruiser Club. He had memberships with the local gun clubs, and enjoyed going out for target practice. He is remembered for his sharp wit and keen sense of humor, his stimulating political banter, loyalty to friends and coworkers, and his fundamental human decency. Don had the nickname "AAA": he made himself available to help anyone - Anytime, Anywhere, for Anything. Don is survived by his wife, Linda Chavous; two children: David Berry of Portland, Oregon, and Emily Chavous of La Quinta, California; four granddaughters, Pearl, Sayde, Ginger and Rosie; his mother, Patricia Chavous, of Tampa, Florida; and siblings Shirley Purvis, of Leesburg, Florida; Alan Chavous of Tampa; Terri Bonner of Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Brian Chavous of Oxford, Florida; his in-laws Larry and Marjean Larson of Rancho Mirage, California; countless friends and colleagues; and by the family cat, Bebe

CROWN POINT | You know the price of gas is too expensive when:
• Public officials have to park their take-home cars.
• City delivery drivers no longer take the scenic route before arriving at their destination.
• People start catching the bus.
Local government officials said they are suffering high fuel costs along with the rest of the public. But one group isn't complaining — those marketing public transportation.
"This is something we are not going to miss taking advantage of," said David Wright, Gary Public Transportation Corp. planning director.
He said GPTC ridership already has increased 17 percent in advance of an advertising campaign reminding the public a bus ticket is only a fraction of the current cost of a gallon of gasoline and a month of bus rides less than one fill-up.
He said gasoline prices started to skyrocket just as GPTC began expanding service.
"The timing is indeed fortuitous, with later hours and more service coverage, we will continue to market the benefits of transit as a viable option for those looking to save money in our service area of Gary, Hammond, East Chicago, Calumet Township, Crown Point, Griffith, Hobart and Merrillville," Wright said.
John Parsons, marketing director for the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District, said the rise in gas prices doesn't affect the South Shore commuter train service.
"We are running an electric railroad," he laughed.
He said ridership, which has been in decline since the 2008 recession, began recovering last fall and only can strengthen as the price of driving to and parking in Chicago grinds upward.
"We carried in excess of 10,000 passengers on St. Patrick's Day for the parade and a garden show. Typically, we carry about 6,000. We are still not at seating capacity in the rush hour but are approaching it," Parsons said.
Meanwhile, county and municipal government officials have told their fleet drivers to put the brakes on unnecessary travel.
East Chicago Mayor Anthony Copeland said he has ordered nonpolice employees to park their 80 city-owned and -fueled cars they previously drove after their work shift.
"Everybody and their daddy had a take-home car," Copeland said. "We also took 68 cars completely out of service from our overall fleet. I told everyone three weeks ago we are carpooling."
Merrillville Public Works Director Bruce Spires said: "We have had conversations with our employees already about 'let's not keep trucks idling and take a direct route.'"
East Chicago, Crown Point and Gary are moving toward bulk purchases of relatively cheaper ethanol-infused E85 fuel.
Spires said while cities and towns can blunt short-lived price spikes through monthly bulk purchasing, locking long-term prices is only a myth.
"We can lock in the margin the supplier gets over his costs each month, but if anyone knows of a gas supplier who locks in the full price, let me know because I want to do business with him," Spires said.
Even freewheeling police officers are feeling the pinch.
Lake County Sheriff John Buncich and Porter County Sheriff David Lain said they have issued memos recently to their departments to reduce nonpatrol driving.
Buncich said the Lake County Government Complex's gas pumps are not only under lock and key but also monitored by security cameras to prevent unauthorized fill-ups at public expense.
Local officials said they take a double hit from high fuel prices.
Not only do their fuel expenses rise, but their gas tax revenue also sinks since the public tends to buy less gas during high price periods and the gas tax is a fixed amount per gallon regardless of how high pump prices get.

Valerie Wilson Wesley
Adult Fiction WESLEY
Summary: Valerie Wilson Wesley's Tamara Hayle mystery series featuring Newark, New Jersey's number one private investigator are loved for their smart, sexy protagonist who "has a way with a wisecrack that is positively lethal" (Washington Post). Now in Dying in the Dark, Hayle is entrenched in a sinister investigation that will demand her best detective work yet. Tamara Hayle's past has come back to haunt her-literally. She's been plagued by terrifying dreams about Celia Jones, an old friend whose walk on the wild side led her to a horrible death. Celia's teenage son, Cecil, begs Tamara to find his mother's killer . . . only to end up dead himself, stabbed through the heart. The search for Celia and her son's killer pulls Tamara deep into her friend's troubled love life, where everyone adored her but somebody held a murderous grudge. There's her bullying thug of an ex-husband; a handsome ex-lover who woos Tamara with charm and lies; and an angry, jealous woman who claims that Celia broke her heart. And those were just the obvious people with axes to grind. Despite her better judgment and the admonitions of the police department, Tamara refuses to back away from the mystery surrounding her old friend's death and the tragedy that met her son. All clues lead to the past Tamara shared with Celia Jones, and Tamara fears that that past will threaten her own son. But she uncovers more than she bargained for-and unearths secrets someone would kill to keep in the shadows.

FREE Wi-Fi in Tokyo
Wi-Fi / WiFi is fairly ubiquitous, although some options require you to sign up ahead of time.
Also, bring your phone charger out. Between checking your map (works better with WiFi ON, even if you're not connected to a network) taking photos, and trying to find WiFi, your battery will die. Thankfully you can look for outlets near the street, then squat-n-charge for a bit.
That said, some great, free options:
- Starbucks
Requires sign-up ahead of time.
- 7-Eleven
Requires sign-up ahead of time.
In Japanese, so make sure you have a Translation tool in your browser.
- JR East
Works at/near any JR station! Connect to it in your WiFi menu, open your browser, and try loading any site — JR East's sign-in page will load. Tap English at the top right, agree to their terms, and enter your email.
Considering how many millions are in the stations daily, it works surprisingly well.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP) -- If seminarians will learn the habit of thinking about God's truth as a means of enjoying Him, they will not waste their theological education, John Piper said during a special chapel service at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
"God gave you doctrine for delight," Piper said Jan. 23 at the Louisville, Ky., campus. "God gave you a mind to be a faithful servant to your heart. Reasoning, thinking, knowing God is the necessary means, and delighting in, being satisfied in, enjoying and treasuring God is the ultimate end of the human soul."
Piper, an author, speaker and founder of Desiring God ministries, preached from John 8:28-32, a message he called "Don't Waste Your Theological Education."
Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd in Alumni Memorial Chapel, Piper applied a central theme of his ministry, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him," to the pursuit of theological education.
Before Piper spoke, R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Seminary, introduced him, noting the significance of Piper's presence at the special event.
"You know him through his writing, through his voice, through his influence and his many, many books. He has been a model to us of so many things throughout the years, of faithfulness, of biblical exposition, of theological precision, of courageous ministry, of pastoral concern," Mohler said. "But many of you perhaps do not realize that he, too, is a theological educator."
Piper, longtime pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, led the church in establishing Bethlehem College and Seminary.
Mohler noted that Piper is modeling how to transition to a new stage of ministry after serving in a church for 30 years, saying it is a "gift to us to let us watch how he's doing this."
During his message, Piper said that because a Christian's mind is in service of his or her heart, theological studies should result in the enjoyment of God. Students should "make reflection the servant of affection," he said.
"The organ of knowing is given by God to serve the organ of preferring," Piper, author of "Don't Waste Your Life," said. "Thinking exists to serve feeling."
The way those in seminary can avoid wasting their experience is by using their academic pursuits both to further their knowledge of God and, ultimately, to enjoy Him more, Piper said.
"You will not waste your seminary -- your years here, your efforts here, your experience -- if you solidify the lifelong habit of thinking about the truth of God as a means of enjoying the God of truth," Piper said.
Christians must do this for the rest of their lives, he added, saying, "Thinking about God is the necessary means, and treasuring God is the ultimate end of the human soul."
What keeps people -- seminary students included -- from enjoying God is competing affections, Piper said.
"Sin is an internal displacement of the glory of God in our affections, in our valuing or treasuring of anything above God," he said. "All sin, outwardly, is an expression of the inward preference of anything above God. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free from preferring anything other than God."
Piper led students in thinking about how to glorify God in their thoughts about His truth.
By affections, Piper said he does not mean physical, outward reactions, but rather internal, spiritual and supernatural joy in God, which can sometimes overflow in outward ways.
A Christian grows in affection for God, Piper said, through correct thinking about God. So seminary is important, but only as a means to the end of growing in love for God.
"Enjoying Christ above all things is essential to magnifying Christ above all things," Piper said, adding that when a Christian delights in someone, such as a spouse, he or she honors that person.
Joy in God, he said, is the essence of faith and obedience to God.
Discussing love of neighbor and how joy intertwines with service, Piper said, "Loving your neighbor is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others."
Piper offered five applications and warnings for seminary students.
First, he said the greatest threat to a student's future ministry is the death of enjoying God.
Second, future pastors will harm their sheep if they lose their joy in God.
Third, the New Testament says the aim of Christian ministry is to work for truth.
Fourth, Piper challenged students not to rest until "the fruit of your mind becomes the flame of your heart" in every class, conversation, book and paper.
His final point, he said, was for students to pray. He gave an acronym he uses daily in his personal prayer time: IOUs. Each letter represents a prayer from a Psalm:
-- I: "Incline my heart to your testimony, O God" (Psalm 119:36);
-- O: "Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things" (Psalm 119:18);
-- U: "Unite my heart to fear your name" (Psalm 86:11); and
-- S: "Satisfy me in the morning with your steadfast love that I may rejoice and be glad in you." (Psalm 90:14).

Search Marketing
Perhaps you are wondering why your website isn't generating you more business or leads. Here is the startling truth: if your company isn't showing up on the first page of major search engines like Google, Yahoo! or Bing when consumers search for your products or services, then you are basically invisible. Over 97% of Internet searches end up with a click through to a website listed on the first page of search engine results! Our search marketing services (also known as search engine optimization, SEO, search engine marketing, or SEM) develop or improve your company's online presence so that your website will be effective at genereating new business for you. And since many businesses deal largely with local clients, we also specialize in local SEO.
Location, Location, Location!
The concept behind search engine optimization is actually quite simple. Picture two restaurants – one located on the Main Street corner while another one is a few blocks away in an alley. Which one do you think gets more business? Obviously the restaurant on the main street corner does; people who didn't even know the restaurant existed can easily notice it as they smell the delicious aromas while walking by or as they drive by on their way home from work. The back-alley restaurant only gets business from the people who already know it exists and know where to look for it. Sure, it has great food, but no one new discovers it because no one sees it.
In the world of the Internet, the "Main Street corner" is the first page of the search engine results and our search marketing services use a variety of different techniques to get you there, front and center. Here are a few of the Internet marketing techniques we use:
- We do keyword marketing by carefully researching and crafting a list of words and phrases that potential customers search related to your industry (called keyword phrases) and then incorporate these keywords into the architecture of your website so they are easily found by the search engines.
- We regularly add fresh content to your website to help with SEM.
- We expand your website's online presence via link building, blogging and submitting it to valuable online directories.
- We create and compare reports on a month by month basis to track improvements and trends, and to note and shore up areas of concern. We share these reports with you via email to keep you updated on the progress of your company's search engine placement.
Isn't it Time to Move? Learn How: Call Us at (317) 805-4933
Are you ready to move to Main Street? The Internet is truly the great equalizer, and whether you are a large business or a small competitor with big dreams and aspirations, we can help you earn the best location on the street! Our search marketing techniques will begin to build your company's online presence so consumers can easily find your website and learn more about your products and services. Contact us today and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about our search marketing and SEO!

Journey to Atlantis reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Journey to Atlantis, a flume ride at SeaWorld San Diego. (The minimum height to ride is 42 inches.)
Written by Robert Niles
Journey to Atlantis adds a third thrill ride to SeaWorld's San Diego park, this time a Mack water coaster, combining elements from a roller coaster and a flume ride.
I didn't get the chance to ride Journey to Atlantis until a couple years after it opened in Orlando. By the time I visited, the original queue video had been replaced with a mind-numbing loop featuring a mime getting drenched. (Gotta warn the clueless who haven't figured out that people get wet in a park called SeaWorld.) As a result, I never completely understood the ride's backstory, which I have heard was explained in the original queue video.
The attraction's arrival in Southern California raised my hope that SeaWorld would take this opportunity to clarify the ride's narrative elements, improve the audio in the dark ride portion give passengers a better sense of the story along the ride.
Well, SeaWorld's certainly addressed the Orlando version's narrative problems in San Diego. But not in the way I would have liked. SeaWorld's taken the cheap way out and chopped the dark ride portion from the attraction entirely.
Most of San Diego's Journey takes place outside, from the loading platform through almost all of the flume and roller coaster segments of the ride. Only one, very notable section of this ride occurs inside. Despite the loss of the dark ride, this Journey does contain two unique technical elements that make the ride worth a visit.
The first won't strike most riders as particularly remarkable. You might not notice it at all. But as a former ride operator, I found this feature brilliant. SeaWorld's installed a track switch at the loading platform that allows operators to take a boat off the main circuit so passengers with disabilities can board and debark taking as much time as they need. When I worked Thunder Mountain at Disney World, we had to hustle "wheelchair guests" on and off the ride in a hurry, for if we took more than 45 seconds, we couldn't get the train out of the station in time for the next to arrive, causing the ride to shut down with trains backed up all around the track. With this track switch, delays are no longer a problem, as other boats can continue to circulate while a passenger with disabilities can take his or her time boarding. This feature needs to become standard on all theme park circuit rides.
Okay, enough with the ride-op geekiness. Hop aboard and discover that Journey to Atlantis doesn't waste time getting to the action. A quick jaunt up a lift track and you're immediately dumped into the ride's 60-foot main flume drop. As with other SeaWorld attractions, on Journey riders aren't supposed to get just a little bit wet. They are supposed to wallow in torrents of H2O until utterly soaked. To that end, SeaWorld provides plenty of water cannons, spouts and fountains to drench anyone fortunate enough to be sitting in a seat that missed the splashback on the flume drops. Still, I didn't get drenched on this version as I did in Orlando, where our boat returned to the loading station with a good two inches of standing water in the bottom. Just a good showering here.
After a turnaround, passengers enter the show building for the defining element of San Diego's Journey to Atlantis. Audio narration explains that the people of Atlantis lost their connection to the sea, taking it for granted. (Brutal payback there, guys.) And that *we* must prove our ability to face the forces of the sea, and learn to communicate with the dolphins, lest we face the Atlanteans' fate.
Nice set-up, but might I suggest a lesson from journalism school? "Show, don't tell." Some animation would help reinforce the plot and heighten the suspense throughout the ride.
But before I can stew too long about SeaWorld's gutting the dark ride, my attention is drawn to the car ahead flying straight up in the air. Hello? That's right, instead of a traditional lift hill or launch start, Journey to Atlantis takes its ride vehicles up to the coaster's crest with an elevator.
What this ride misses in drama, it delivers in breathtaking technology. Our boat floats forward into a small chamber with video of Commerson's dolphins projected on one wall. A moment later, it's our turn to fly up the darkened tower, emerging into sunlight as our boat drops smoothly into a sweeping roller coaster curve. One quick hop up and we sweep through another long curve into our splashdown behind the loading station. A few more water spouts spray the remaining dry sports on our shirts and it's time to call it a ride.
Don't rush too quickly through the exit and miss the 130,000-gallon Commerson's dolphin exhibit. These protected mammals sport distinctive markings that evoke SeaWorld's famous Shamu and the park reports this display is the only one of this species in the Western Hemisphere.
Readers' rating:
I have not been to sea world for a long time, but when I went, this was a one of my favorite rides there. If they call it a water coaster, there needs to be more "Rollercoaster" that water. Fun ride. Three out of five stars - Super Sam
The bones of the ride are good. Like Robert said, SeaWorld went cheep and left out the "dark" in this dark ride. The first lift, most of the return from the first drop up to and including the elevator and most of the coaster portion of the drop off of the lift could have been used as amazing dark ride space. Instead, they built a water coaster that pleases those who want a quick thrill and a splash. Pity. - Rob McCullough
The water drop and roller coaster drops and turns are great fun. The after ride Commerson dolphin exhibit is also very well done. I just wish Sea World would refurbish the elavator portion of the ride. What used to be the highlight of the attraction, now looks rickety and the screens inside the elavator haven't worked properly for some time. It's a ride I like a lot but it would be nice to see the elavator get some attention. - Manny Barron
Fun. but it needs to be longer. - N O
it's alright, but it has an incoherent backstory you'll probably miss - Jack Borgeson

She Moves…
Emeline, nearly eight months old, crawled for the first time just days ago at home in her room.
Is she my little one? Nope, I am "Miss Holly" the Nanny! I hang out with Emeline while her parents, Lorie and Ryan work long hours (she is a restaurant manager and he is a sous chef). I live just four doors down from them, so I take about 22 steps to get to work.
I am now giving my weekdays to Crain's Chicago Business, recently joining their team in the newsroom. But with restaurant hours, I hope to be there for her first steps too, as long as she doesn't take them Monday through Friday, from 9am – 6pm.

A young hero who ran into a burning building to save an elderly blind man two years wants to become an official firefighter.Tray Ross, 21, knows what it takes to be a firefighter. In November 2011, he didn't hesitate to leap into action after she saw smoke rising from a home. Ross through the smoke and rescued 76-year-old Harold John, who is blind and couldn't make it out alone. "I kept telling him, 'Come on, I got the door open, get out.' He just kept telling me he couldn't so I went in after him," Ross said. Ross said it was instinct that led him into the burning building. "I know this is what I'm supposed to do," he said. It was at that moment that Ross decided to pursue his dream. Hall County heard about his heroics and helped him get his required GED. Now, Ross is a joining other Hall County Fire Department recruits.Over the next 16 weeks, the 19 recruits will do hands-on and classroom training, but the instructors already know that Ross has what it takes to be a firefighter: guts and desire. "He cares about his fellow human man. And if you have that and you're physically able and you have the desire, we can do it from there," said Captain Skip Heflin of the Hall County Fire Department.After rescuing him, Ross visited Johnson in the hospital, who had to be treated for smoke inhalation. The two even shared Thanksgiving dinner together.

OBJECTIVE: The planum temporale is intimately involved in the generation
and understanding of language and has been suggested to be a key area
affected in schizophrenia. To explore temporal lobe abnormalities in
schizophrenia, the authors measured the planum temporale, a normally
asymmetric area lying on the superior part of the temporal lobe, in
schizophrenic patients. METHOD: High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) scans were obtained for 14 right- handed schizophrenic patients and
14 healthy comparison subjects individually matched for age, sex,
handedness, race, and parental socioeconomic status. The surface area of
the planum temporale was measured by using MRI reconstruction techniques.
RESULTS: There was striking reversal of the normal asymmetry (left larger
than right) in planum temporale surface area in 13 of the schizophrenic
patients but in only two of the comparison subjects. However, Heschl's
gyrus (primary sensory cortex), which served as an anatomically contiguous
nonheteromodal cortical comparison region, showed no difference between the
left and right sides in either group. Severity of thought disorder in the
patients was related to asymmetry. CONCLUSIONS: This is a clear
demonstration of a reversal of expected symmetry in the brains of right-
handed schizophrenic patients, which involves a region of key importance in
normal human behavior. The nature of the abnormality strongly suggests that
schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Utilize Rain Barrels
A lot of individuals don't realize that they can save money on their water bill by using a rain barrel. These barrels simply collect water when it rains. This water can be used to water a garden or even flush a toilet. As many areas are facing droughts and water shortages, rain barrels will prove to be an effective way to lessen your water usage and protect the environment.
Switch To Natural Gas
Natural gas is a clean fuel that is very efficient. It lessens emissions and will lower electricity costs. When looking for natural gas for your home, a good option is Duke Energy in Fairfield, Ohio.
In conclusion, going green is a win win situation for everyone. By following the above tips you can lessen your carbon footprint and save money overall. Being environmentally friendly and saving money is something that everyone can feel good about. Just remember that even little changes can have a huge impact.

Make Your Daily Commute Greener
March 29th, 2013
Our society is literally growing more distant. Today, many people can expect a commute of upwards of twenty miles to work, whereas in the past it was much smaller.

Military Tribute Quilt, May 26 - November 11, 2014
The Indiana War Memorial Museumis proud to host the Military Tribute Quilt, created by Grace and Hannah Atherton, to honor veterans of the U.S. military and support those currently serving. In the center is a painting by Grace Atherton honoring those who served from World War II to the present, surrounded by the photographs and signatures of 58 veterans representing all branches of service who previously served or sacrificed their lives.

Colonel H. James Kasler, May 1, 2014
The Indiana War Memorial Museum unveiled a new exhibit honoring Indiana native Colonel James H. Kasler, fighter ace, POW, and the only person to ever receive three Air Force Crosses. Kasler was a veteran of 198 combat missions spanning three wars. He first served as a tail gunner aboard a Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber in World War II. He then shot down six enemy MiGs in his North American F-86 Sabre jet fighter during the Korean War, becoming a fighter ace. Finally, his Republic F-105 Thunderchief fighter-bomber was shot down during the Vietnam War, and he was captured and held prisoner by the North Vietnamese in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" for over six years.

from Twinkies to Ding Dongs is flying off of supermarket shelves. Hostess brand

Payroll Cards Make Temporary Staffing Payroll Safe, Efficient and Easy
Your employees want to be paid quickly and easily, and you don't want to deal with any payroll processing issues and problems. TemPay payroll cards can be the solution.
When TemPay handles your staffing payroll, we ensure your employees are paid on time and in the manner they want. Advantages of payroll cards include:
- We offer standard direct deposit and Visa®-branded payroll cards, which can be used at any ATM or store that accepts credit and/or debit cards.
- When TemPay funds the cards, the money is there immediately, unlike direct deposit, which often takes 24 to 48 hours for the money to be available.
- The cards are easy to use and much less expensive than using a check-cashing service, and the ATM and debit charges are minimal.
Payroll cards are an ideal option for employees who do not belong to a bank or credit union or do not have their own checking or savings account. They are also a lot safer than carrying around a paycheck. If the card is lost, it is easily replaced. Card owners also have their own PIN they can change any time they want.

CNBC today posted a list of people called CNBC's First 25. They have ranked list of the 25 people we judge to have had the most profound impact on business and finance since 1989, the year CNBC went live. They have disrupted industries, sparked change and exercised an influence far beyond their own companies. Microsoft founder Bill Gates was ranked 2nd among the list and Apple founder Steve Jobs topped the list. Even though the author claims that the ranks are arguable, they have chosen based on the inputs from the panelists. Jobs at No. 1 and Gates at No. 2? Or should it be the other way around? After all, there hardly would have been a personal computer revolution without Gates. Yes, you say, but if he hadn't propagated an operating system, somebody else would have. True, but Gates did it. And even if IBM handed him the ball, ...Read More →

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A big winter storm will greet folks across Northeast Wisconsin as they head back to work Monday.
FOX 11 says the heaviest snow will fall from the mid-morning to around 3 p.m. Snow should end during the evening.
They predict areas north of Green Bay to the U.P. border will generally see the most snow, 5-6″ with perhaps a couple spots a bit above that. Green Bay will get close with most falling closer to 5″, or a shade on either side of that mark. The Fox Cities will likely range between 3-5″ of snow.
Because of the timing of the snow, the morning commute on Monday will be very tricky. Leave additional time to reach your destinations if you'll be on the roads.
This will be a heavy wet snow, so it will be a challenge to shovel.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- Louisville's Metro Council decided to send the proposal to allow taverns at Waterfront Park back to committee for more details.
Several Councilmembers had concerns about the placement of taverns on the Waterfront area, feeling it would take away from other areas like Fourth Street Live and become less of a family place.
Tony Hyatt said the Council wants more details on the proposed plan and the committee will meet in two weeks to discuss the issue further.
