How to Take Your Relationship to the Next Level
Been with the same person for a while but not quite sure how to take things to the next level? Maybe it's time you moved in together. Or started playing video games together.
Can't decide? Our handy guide will help you determine what's right for the two of you! (Click to enlarge.)
Which of these steps have you taken (or are looking forward to taking) with your significant other? Let us know in the comment section below!
The Most Heartbreaking Romances In Gaming
Everyone's Valentine's gaming lists feature some kind of "the greatest romances" list but you know what? True romance is as short as life itself, and because of that I'll be looking at the most heartbreaking romances in gaming. You know, the ones where one of the characters dies, or their romance is cut short because of circumstances beyond their control.
Once upon a time, interactive love stories and romances could only be found in awkward Japanese dating sims and hard-to-find JRPG's. Nowadays, almost every game tells its own version of romance. From Jim Raynor's short fling with Sarah Kerrigan in Starcraft, Max and Mona's dangerous pairing in Max Payne 2, and even Sonic's awkward, yet sweet relationship with Elise in Sonic The Hedgehog (2006), gamers of all ages are able to empathize with even the most stoic/boring characters *Cough* Cloud or Squall in Final Fantasy *Cough* since romance is something that we all have experienced. But you're not here for the lovey-dovey stuff, you're here for the stunningly effective, heartbreaking romances that prove the words "happily ever after" is a crock of bull.
Great romances are as short as life itself, and these next couples did the best they could and loved as much as they could with the time that they had together. All end in tragedy, yet in that tragedy did they find true romance.
Let's start the list shall we?

Ideas for this Entryway?
Good Questions
Q: I'm hoping to receive advice on how to decorate our entry area. The layout is a bit awkward with the front door on the right side, and the garage entrance on the left. We are hoping to eventually purchase a new front door (a modern design with windows to let in more light), but for now I would like ideas on how to brighten up, enlarge, and add interest to the space. We have considered painting the stairway white to match the rest of the trim, and a more interesting light fixture would help I'm sure. I also need décor ideas for the large wall with the descending staircase. I've sent along a picture of our living room, so that you can see the décor of the room that the entry opens out to. Thanks in advance for you help!

I think painting the rails and spindles white is a great start. And new lighting would be good too. I think that your ideas are dead on...
I think a couple of long, narrow runners would be great as well. Maybe you can hang a nice, patterned window panel by the railing the overlooks the staircase. It may make the living space feel more like a living space, if that makes sense. Or a long panel of fabric down the wall that you are concerned about. Maybe switch out the doorknobs with glass or silver colored ones?
here are my thoughts:
a. Garage door make-up:
White Framed Picture - (above the garage door) - Width of the garage door & Height - to match the height of the Entrance door Frame
b. DO NOT PAINT this lovely woodwork of Railing,
but MATCH several Accessories around with Wood of the same shade (Picture Frames, Shelves etc..)
c. Large Wall behind Staircase - Scenery Panoramatic Wallpaper (something in orange-yellowish tones) like Autum Leaves or Forrest - FRAMED on all sides by WIDE Wood FRAME of same shade as your Railing.
d. Better and more interesting Central Lighting
e. in the Center of Staircase - hang from the Ceiling - SOMETHING Long, Shimmering, (colors: white, silver, yellowish as the wood) - perhaps also incorporating strings of Xmas lights (with white wiring, not green).
Hope for starters it would help...
I agree with Yellow Canoe. So comes down to 4 points to me:
1) Yes, painting the rail white to match the trim is a great idea!
2) Changing the light fixture is a must!I would suggest something long / modern since you have the space down the stairs. Something like this maybe:
3) Art - Big Art! - on the wall where the stairs come down. Could be a mirrored sculpture piece...
4) Punch of color. I see your living room is basically gray black and brown. Like Yellow canoe said, a runner would be good, but i think it should add some live with some color. Add the same color as an accent to your living room.
Hope this helps,
ugh! don't know why i can get the links in right!
The walls and trim are already passive colors so I recommend painting the banister and rails black not white for a more dramatic pop. I completely agree that an interesting, dangly chandelier would do wonders for this space. Here are some other (inexpensive) suggestions:
* Change out your white outlet covers to brushed nickel ones
* Replace your brass door knobs with brushed nickel/glass ones
* Remove the closet doors by the front entrance and hang drapes in an intersting black/white fabric instead. This will add element of visual interest and break up the monotony of doors.
Good luck and looking forward to seeing what you do!
I vote white for the rails. Also, replace the mirror with a much larger piece of brighter art. Mirrors only work where they are reflecting something interesting.
I definitely agree that you should paint it white. It will do wonders.
I also really don't like the floor (sorry) and I think you should replace it. Personally, I would paint the stairwell, change the floor to something that look a bit more modern and of course add lightning and art.
To be honest, I would probably also paint the walls white, but then I'm Swedish and we seem to be very found of white all over. ;-)
I think something helpful would be maximizing the use of your wallspace for hanging art. There are lots of lovely spots for hanging things! You should definately take advnatage of it.
A collection of colorful knick-knacks, or small images/plates/whatever lined up on the wall above that door on the left might look cute. You could decorate the wall over the stairs in a salon gallery style. One laaaaaaarge painting would look awesome on that wall behind your tv!
Could you install a pendant lamp instead of a ceiling fixture? You should look for a pendant that you love, and then stick it up there as a showpiece for friends to see right when they enter!
Also, I'd add an entry table somewhere - maybe a narrow, elegant table up against your railing? And I agree with Yellow Canoe - the railing would look really nice if you painted the spindles glossy white.
I would suggest the below
1. leave the railing as in
2. bring in color via - rugs/ plants/ frames
i love the color on your walls!
Totally agree with Xandra re hanging art in a white frame above the garage door ... the top of its frame should be at the exact height of the molding around the front door.
It looks like there is enough width to put a narrow console table against the railing in front of the door. I would put a second matching table against the railing running perpendicular. Add bright pottery or collectibles.
Hang a quilt on the staircase wall.
Definitely change that builder's standard ceiling light.
Also, how about painting the area a bright color? Even if you didn't want to paint the wall that goes down against the staircase, you could paint the two walls something interesting. I'd even consider painting the underside of the beam a contrasting color to make a racing stripe effect.
But don't paint the railings!!! Natural wood is beautiful, and two much white would make the moldings pop rather than accessories.
I would paint the garage door and frame the same color as the walls.
Maybe minimal track lighting instead of the boob light so you can direct light onto the large wall of the stairwell. A large piece of art would look nice there.
Love the parquet floor.
Don't leave the railing as-is -- nothing else seems to match its light wood. Your floors are gorgeous -- what if the railing was stained to match?
Now I know you're looking to brighten, but man, that living room looks pretty bright as it is! As you mention, there's a slight awkwardness to the placement of the front door and garage door. Why brighten up and draw attention to the part of the room you've deemed awkward? Coming in to a dark railing will draw focus back into that bright living area as guests enter. If you highlight everything, nothing is highlighted, so I vote for downplaying the entryway.
And don't worry about moving the mirror as other posters have mentioned. I'm guessing it's not meant to reflect "something interesting", but to functionally let people give themselves a once over before heading out the door. Maybe a very small console table beneath it will make the mirror look more purposeful. And if there was an oversized piece of artwork over the stairs -- well there's your something interesting.
Bibliovore helped me with the links... here's his/her "how-to".
The HTML tag format to add a link to something is stuff, where URL is the full URL of your link and stuff is whatever content you want to be linked.
This code: The Kitchn
makes this link: The Kitchn
Sheesh... I out-smarted myself. KitaMiami... check out Bibliovore's answer to me. It helped me.
My vote goes with those who said to paint the railing white, add some large art above the stairs, and add punches of colour with a wall hanging across from the stairs, maybe a big bright pot with a big houseplant? Also yes, a hanging light fixture. I love the floor, I hope you don't change it!
Good luck! :)
I agree with debralee... minimize the garage door and play up the wall with a large piece of art. If you would prefer to hang a chandelier/art piece in the center of the stairwell you should still camouflage the garage door to let the art speak for itself. I agree with painting the railing/banister to match the trim.
Definitely need an interesting light fixture! As far as the railing goes, not sure about the cost, but maybe consider putting in glass panels instead of a wood railing. It would be less distracting/choppy, would lend a more airy feel and bring this space a modern feel. If this is not an option, or is not something you're interested in, paint it white and focus on bringing in some art. Love the gray on the walls - perfect shade.
I think painting the spindles white would make a huge improvement but I would stain/paint the handrail black. It will give it a dramatic feel and will pick up on the colour on the picture/mirror frames. It is a classic colour combo and will still look great in 10 years! The L/R has a more modern feel and the entrance has a country feel so you need to make the 2 rooms cohesive.
I wouldn't put a mirror on the large wall because it will only reflect back the doors - if they are closed or the contents of what is behind the doors if open - neither one a good idea. I would search the web for some ideas and then I would purchase a framed canvas and some paints and make my own piece of art - cheap and cheerful. There are so many easy canvas ideas out there, Mondrian's work is quite modern but you can search the web for other artisits until you see somehting you like!
Good Luck! I would love to see the "after" pictures whatever you decide!
You have a lot of doors and visual activity here in this space, so one thing I'd do is resist the temptation to hang smaller pieces of artwork or anything framed on your smaller between-door walls.
I'd personally paint the garage door (molding included) the same color as your walls.
I'd look for one LARGE painting print or poster for above the stairwell and call it a day.
If you want to get more ambitious, I'd drywall in the stair enclosure to current railing height (versus painting it as suggested). That would give you some "anchor wall" for a slim bench or long Chinese stool or narrow console table to give this circulation space some additional function.
You need artwork. Something dramatic and colorful in the well of the stairway, it's the first thing you see when you come in --- along with a nice light fixture, and you're practically all set. You also need art in your livingroom. I would also go large, and because you have grey and black in the room I think a piece that has bright reds and blacks would look fantastic and you could echo whatever colors you find in your new paintings in throw pillows and a couple of accessories.
hmm.. Its an interesting space!
i would go with adding a bit of DRAMA!
Replace the ceiling light with a Chandelier
Try IKEA
Try a thrift store .
I do feel that you need to screen the living room a Little
The easiest way us to place a book book shelf facing in to the living and on the side that faces the door use a dramatic wall paper . Place a good console table and Mirror.
Use a great Runner for the foyer.
for the big wall... Bring in some color
and it is a great wall to hang Art or family pictures .
Have fun
Rashmi Ramakrishnan
I'll probably paint the railing white, hang a chandler like this one:
Frame the garage door to make it as big as the others.
Add a long and narrow painting on the wall in the staircase .
Could be on grey tones like a Romaine Brooks:
or something brighter on the orange shades.
If you decide for a bright colour, I would use it than to put some accents in the living room too, that in my opinion needs at the moment a bit of life.
I would replace the small mirror with something bigger and put a console under it and replace the small painting with something bigger and longer.
I'm not a big fan of frames on artworks and with all the doors I thing you have enough frames already. So I'd leave all paintings/artworks frame-less. For the mirror I'd like a mirror frame.
I'm also a fan of painting entry areas darker, so the adjoining space open up even more. It looks like you have good starting and stopping point for paint, so maybe consider a darker, warmer shade.
If leaving the railing as is, consider a Mission style or Noguchi paper lantern, so at least one other element "speaks" to the railing... although I think your floor is starting a conversation with it, at least. :)
You can display different pieces of art work on the wall on the right side (descending staircase). This will allow you to change or replace with new ones rather than having a huge art work. Create a few themes such as prints of insects, flowers or whatever you like; modern pieces of art, charcoal drawings etc, depending on your taste. You can frame the works of your family members if any of them make art.
Rugs will add color & brighten up the space (entryway & the surrounding areas). You could also hang a nice ethnic tapestry on the right side door.
Your living room needs colors - my suggestion is pale yellow with matching accents. Have a painted wooden letters, art work, and photographs on the wall behind the TV. And rugs.
Have a little stool in the corner where you have the pet rug and display a flowing plant.
Make curtains with sheer fabric - two tones would be dramatic. Or just use plain cotton fabric - off white with gathers.
Change the lighting as well, a nice chandelier may be.
Get pillows/cushions from world market for your couch.
Enjoy the work.
just wanted to say that i agree with the comments from cultivate and patrick.
painting the railing white would be a little much with all of those white doors. patrick's idea to cover it up completely and add a bench is great, but if you can't do that i think painting it black would be a good option to add interest. the nickel plated outlet covers would look great with that wall cover and would help remove some visual clutter. maybe consider a somewhat large textile for the wall to add some texture and color.
I'd paint that railing - There's nothing particularly special about 1980's oak...
I'd also remove the ceiling fixture and install an oversized lantern to hang down into the well.
The greige wall-to-wall on the stair treads needs to go too - replace w/ wood to match your flooring.
I think painting the entryway a darker grey is a great idea.
While you're at it, move the sofa back against the wall and get a couple of armchairs and another end table in there. And place the table lamp that's next to the TV onto the end table by the sofa - the TV doens't need a reading lamp, but you probably do.
I see artwork hung salon style in the hallway and stairwell (see link).
I pick up a lot of great, original (and inexpensive) artwork at our local Junior League thrift and other thrift stores.
I vote for white.
I think a small console table painted over in a bright color would look great next to the closet doors... http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11741887&findingMethod=rr
This could be a good cheap large art project for your big wall: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/dc/how-to-turn-snapshots-into-wall-art-108411
I would definitely paint the railing, but I would also go one step further. This may sound crazy, but I would remove every other spindle, flip them horizontally, then cut them to fit in between the remaining spindles, arranging them in whatever geometric pattern you wish. I think that railing screams late 70s and early 80s (not in good way), and while painting them will help with that, doing this extra step will really bring some contemporary style to the space. Add a lighting fixture (crystal or capiz shells chandelier, or whatever takes advantage of the height of the space over the staircase). Just center it over the staircase. The maybe add a large piece of art on the wall adjacent to the door to the garage.
Quiet down the walls in that corner by painting out the
garage and closet doors/trim to match walls. Big colorful art in stairwell and maybe a quilt over the railing. Once the art is in place, then maybe the light fixture. I'd save painting the stairs as last resort.
Whatever art you get for stairwell; get a related piece living room. Treat the whole space as one. If you keep the wood the way it is, it'd be great if the artwork, pillows or rugs had some of that medium oak color in it. Using more of that color around the room will make it cohesive and more restful.
Paint that stairway! Now! It's the only thing you can see... It really should fade into the rest of the walls and trim. I would put a big bold painting on that large wall. I'd use several different flor tiles in similar hues to make a colorful runner. Voila!
I'd paint the railing and put a console table or maybe a vintage credenza, (if you need storage) in front of it to act as a "landing strip". Put it on the side that faces the living room, unless it's really narrow.
Then, swap all all those bright white switchplates and outlets--they look like pimples and just add visual clutter
Lots of good suggestions.
The element that caught my eye was your living room window - wow! If you use that theme of 3, that would tie things together. Three panels with art on the staircase wall - perhaps the 3-over-3 of the window. Three panels of glass to fill in both larger sections of railing - and stain the rest of the railing to go with the floor. I agree to paint the garage door and trim to match the walls.
You now have House of Greige (white/beige/gray). Don't paint the stair rails white -- you'll only add to that feeling. Also, they'll just look like 80s railings painted white.
Paint the entry a darker color to work with the wood flooring and railing. (But not so dark that it doesn't transition to the surrounding rooms.)
Replace the ceiling light with an oversize pendant: Large scale simple lines.
Get rid of all the small pieces, and go with fewer--but larger--art and accessories. Scale is so important. This is a big space, and you now have it filled with lots of little things. The result is that it feels simultaneously busy and empty.
How about a contemporary Charles Remy MacIntosh look? The colors you've already selected and the dark living room furniture already suggest that. Paint railing black (or very dark charcoal gray) and add some horizontal strips of square molding over the verticals...some outside the staircase and some inside, perhaps, in a pleasing pattern. Add black horizontal flat molding to all walls in foyer such as along the top of the door casing (it looks like the top of the opening to the living room is located at the same distance up the wall, allowing you to continue the molding all the way around). Perhaps a second horizontal strip above the top of the lower door to the garage. Again, add some vertical molding at various locations, as well.
Sorry, Charles RENNIE MacIntosh...check him out!
patrick (the other one) - Yes to that chandelier idea! I was thinking the same thing; I love that drop down staircase as an entry way.
I had similar oak railings, and they are builder's standard around here. I see no reason NOT to paint them which eliminates one problem: dealing with the golden oak color.
For the staircase wall, I suggest mounting a large Chinese painted silk folding screen there -- probably a reproduction, unless you happen to have buckets of cash! That aesthetic would work with your living room, and the water color effects the screens have would offer nice color on a large scale.
Mount a standard shoji screen there -- the colors would be dark wood (or cherry) with white, probably, but the grid would offer a nifty area of pattern to jazz up the entry.
Get a large modern painting (or make one, but home made art usually looks like that, and the point would be sophistication, not kitsch). One rather huge painting that nearly fills the wall would give color and retain the uncluttered look you sem to go for.
Go with a salon grouping, although that seems a bit cluttered for you. Maybe if you paint the wall an accent color and keep a grouping kind of tight on the colored background, it would help...
Change the light and call it a day!
Let me just start by telling you are on a great start. Your room, furniture and accesories are great building blocks. All you need is a concept that reflects your personality. Painting the guardrail white is a MUST to unify the spaces. Now you need to select a runer for the entryway and a large 7'x9' min. area rug you absolutely LOVE and reflects your personality for the living room. From the color(s) of the area rug, you will select curtains panels, a wall accent paint color and incledibly cool side chair. This is all you need set up your concept. The door, lighting fixture, mirror, gallery wall, accesories etc., are great ideas that you can very easily incorporate later, ONCE you have developed a concept.
I totally agree with patrick's suggestion to box in the railing with drywall. It would be fairly cheap and easy to do (easier than painting each individual rail, imo) and a pony wall would look better than just a painted 80s railing. If you just box in the vertical rails and keep the wide horizonal rail exposed as your wall cap, you don't even need to go all the way down the stairs with it. Paint that cap rail white, add white baseboard, paint the drywall the same as your walls.
I know i'm commenting alittle late, but sand the railing down, and stain it to match the tone of the wood flooring. Painting them will only send you back to the 1980s.

The Clay County Sheriff's Department makes a meth lab arrest yesterday.
It happened when deputies served a search warrant in the 200 block of Kruzan Street in Brazil.
Police arrested 22 year old Jesse Schane and 26 year old Brandon Pruitt after police found several one pot meth labs and other material used to make meth.
Police have been investigating the two for several weeks.
The two are being held in the Clay County Jail and more charges could be coming because the residence is less than 1,000 feet from the Clay County YMCA.

If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, translated by Anne Carlson
For poetry month, I knew I wanted to read poetry, and since I've also been eager to return to the Greek classics, I thought I'd take the chance to dive in with Sappho's lyrics, as translated by Anne Carlson in If Not, Winter.
Because Sappho's poetry remains for us only in fragments, reading through Ms Carlson's translations was an enjoyable reminder of the essential building blocks of poetic thought: word choice, simplicity, and metaphor, for example. (more…)

As our cars and online ordering viagra lives get ever greener, so too do the mail order cialis playthings of the rich and famous. Blasting past Ferrari's aim of increasing their efficiency 40% over the next five years, Audi will be releasing a 6.0L V-12 TDI version of the R8 Roadster coupe in 2009, which will more than double the current gasser version's mileage. Taking into account the difference in energy density between fuels (diesel has about 19% more energy than gasoline when comparing equal volumes of fuel), this still equals a 67% increase in efficiency... and the technology is available today.
Under the see-through engine cover at the cialis tablets foreign rear of the lovely R8 Diesel Concept's body is original levitra a 6-liter twin-turbocharged, twin-intercooled V-12 direct-injection diesel engine that makes 500 horsepower and 737 foot-pounds of cialis angioplasty torque. The company said the Quattro all-wheel-drive system will apportion power in such way that the extra rear-end weight won't affect the sports coupe's handling.
With a couple hundred ft-lbs of torque more than any car in similar horsepower range, you can bet that this monster will zip off the line. Of course, the heavier engine will put a little bit of a damper on the acceleration, but preliminary tests estimate a 4.2 second 0-60. While certainly far from where we need to be in terms of efficiency, it is a step forward, which is commendable. Still, for the money - the car's MSRP will likely be over $135,000 - you could get yourself a Tesla Roadster (which boasts 100+ MPG equivalent and a 4.0 second 0-60 time) and still have enough money left over to buy a Chevy Volt when they come out in 2010.

Bike Setup: Rock Shox Sid xx with Rock shox monarch RT3 rear shock with shimano xt groupset.Bianch spirit 8700 frame and stans rims.
Date Reviewed: January 31, 2012
Strengths: Light weight, great internals, remote loc-out, 15mm maxle-lite.
Weaknesses: None that I've seen, although if it had been packaged with several $100 bills I'd be happier ;)
Bottom Line:
The fork weight came out to about 3.3# once the steer tube was cut for install, the remote X-loc was a breeze to install as it came assembled on the fork and just required locating on the handlebar. After set-up and sag adjustment I took out for a test and tune session and put it through the wringer. Set of with rebound speed in the middle and negative pressure about 10psf under positive got me the ride I wanted. I like a fairly firm set-up but with some cush to control feedback from trail chatter like small roots and shallow techy sections.
After getting it dialed in I absolutely love this fork! The 15mm Maxle, combined with the 32mm stancions all Sids went to a couple years ago, make it as rigid as anything else in its price range but the magnesium lowers and lighter internals trim precious weight off the total package. And for something I never thought I needed I really like the X-loc on the bar, I know its sounds trivial but its really a nice addition on the bike that I'll look for on future forks.
To use a term that is over-used, PLUSH, there I said it, the fork can be set to be very plush yet it never numbs the ride and remains responsive when you need it. Increasing the negative pressure to closely match the positive pressure and backing off the rebound a bit provides a good race day set-up for me, its faster, but will beat your arms a little more than you may like on your afternoon trail ride.
Cruising my local trail the fork is great bombing fast singletrack with repeating switchbacks and fast chicanes. I never wanted for anything while riding the new fork and honestly kind of forgot about the suspension as I was loving how much more rigid the front end felt while railing corners. 15mm Maxle lite is a pretty big improvement over a 9mm QR, I know you'll read some people say it doesn't make a difference and some say it does but I can't understand how comeone wouldn't feel what I did on my first ride...period.
Bottom line, for the MSRP just south of 9 bills its a great fork, picking one up on sale or close out for just over $500 its a fantastic fork. Do it.

Book Review
Published on Wednesday, September 8, 2010 - 12:49pm
Katie Grotto from Revish.com writes this review about How to Survive a Robot Uprising by Daniel H. Wilson:
When you first pick up this book in the comedy section of the book store, you do not expect to learn a lot from this book. You expect it to be a fun romp through the doomsday scenarios that you see in classic and modern Sci-Fi. While this does happen for you, with references from everything from The Terminator to iRobot. It also has a fair amount of real science in it.
Which does not make a lot of sense until you take a look at the author's biography: "Daniel H. Wilson earned a Ph.D. from the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, where he also received Master's Degrees in Robotics and Machine Learning. He has worked in top research laboratories, including Microsoft Research, the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and Intel Research Seattle."
So, a comedy book written by an actual scientist, and who says that geeks can be funny. This book is that rare combination of laugh out loud hysterical and really informative. It will probably remind you a lot of your favorite college professor--you know the one that made you learn without realizing that you were.
On the whole this book is well worth the read, and it may keep you from ever looking at your Roomba the same way again.

There is the only one mainland area of the United States where this delicious and fragrant fruit can be properly grown. For years mangos have been of great value in South Florida, grown with pride in the garden - a fruit to eat when ripe and at all stages of growth. Fresh mangos are a privilege than Floridians can have. Nothing compares the delicacy of a fresh 'Fairchild' harvested directly from the tree.
Healthy Eating can be easy - small changes, with big results. Good nutrition and a balanced diet help to improve nutrition and encourage smart eating habits. Work fruits into the daily routine, aiming for the goal of at least five servings a day. Be sure to serve fruit at every meal. This is mango season, if you have mango trees in your yard, use them all or buy your mangos from local Farmers' Markets, it is a great way to get fresh, tasty produce and support our local farmers.
If you own a mango tree keep in mind than among the mango there is a wide variety of color, shape, flavor, texture, aroma and uses. Many of the mango varieties are best just as they come off the tree, fresh and succulent – the perfect summer snack. Others are at their best in combinations with the exciting flavors of South Florida, spawning a taste experience found no where else in the world.
Because mangos come in a rainbow of reds, yellows, oranges, and greens, color is not the best way to determine ripeness. Selecting the proper ripeness of the fruit is best done with your hands or with your nose, with a gentle give and fruity aroma betraying the heaven that waits inside. As to ripening, it is Mother Nature that knows best, providing a warm room temperature for the perfect conversion of starch to sugar.
A delightful way to serve a mango is to have an exquisite Indian mango as a 'Dusehri' served whole, with the skin peeled back. It can be placed in an elegant cup or just simply held in the hand like a lollipop; kids will love it.
Kids, especially younger ones, will eat what's available at home. That's why it's important to control the supply lines — the foods that you serve for meals and have on hand for snacks. Make it easy for your child to choose healthy snacks by keeping fruits on hand and ready to eat. Encourage healthy choices by eating well yourself. Kids will follow the lead of the adults they see every day.
With mango season close at hand, we are all thinking about that age-old question: how to deal with all those glorious, delicious—and ripe—mangos. This is the tricks of the trade in handling mango harvest from Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden who convert the production of our fruit collections into wondrous products. Learn how to make a wide range of mango products, which are the backbone of the International Mango Festival. Learn the basics of preparing and freezing pulp, making juices and jams, and much more.

AMARILLO - New technology is helping out panhandle veterans. It's called clinical video telehealth.
CVT is video technology that allows patients to have appointments on an high definition TV screen, something very convenient for veterans who live in rural areas.
It's just like any other doctor's appointment, except the doctor is miles away. Instead of driving hours to the main facility in Amarillo, patients can come to small clinics and be seen by a specialist through HD video technology.
The Amarillo VA started using this technology over a year ago for simple medication management. But now...
"We are on to something that can work for almost everyone," said Dr. Michael Lambert, Chief of VA's Mental Health Service.
CVT is used for everything from group counseling, post-traumatic stress disorder treatment, compensation and pension meetings, and more.
"We started this in mental health last year and since then we have more than tripled the visits and encounters that we've been providing," Lambert said. "We've provided more than 400 video and telehealth encounters so far since the beginning of October."
Right now there are CVT studios in Lubbock, Childress, Clovis, and Amarillo.
Amarillo's VA Medical Center serves an area much larger than NewsChannel 10's viewing area, so it saves a lot of time and money for both patients and the VA.
"We've had one hundred percent positive feedback about using this technology," Lambert said.
The VA says this technology has seen such success in their medical centers across the nation, similar technology will soon be used in the battlefield to connect injured soldiers with the specialists they need.

How did you do it?
Did you just one day wake up, work hard and suddenly you're at the top? Or are you struggling every day, not realizing it, sitting at a desk, watching these TED video's and praying for a better life.
If I may ask, what are your individual stories behind your passion and potential?
Was it starting a company in you're basement, knowing that you could do something better? Or inside a multi-billion dollar company starting in the mail room, then suddenly working on the thirtieth floor?

The turn of a number most of us hold as a new leaf, a symbol of hope, the chance for more opportunities of change. It's powerful, only if the message isn't lost in the noise of the fireworks, or the taste of the fancy food or the colours of our beautiful clothes. Who matters? We matter!! And I know it is a small one, but campaign to put our honourable intentions back into the spotlight!

BERLIN, WI (WTAQ) - The Berlin School Board has formed a subcommittee to help decide whether the district should still drop its Indian logo, even though it's no longer required to do so.
Both sides were aired at a board meeting Wednesday night. That was after the governor and state Legislature threw out a 2011 order from the state Department of Public Instruction requiring Berlin to trash its Indians' nickname and logo by July 1st.
The order was result of a state law passed by Democrats in 2009 -- most of which was thrown out by Republicans last year.
Berlin Superintendent Robert Eidahl says the time constraint has been taken away, and the district can take its time and make its own decision.
Under the new law, it takes a petition to get the state to consider orders to drop an Indian mascot -- and not just a complaint from one person. The Administration Department will make the call instead of the DPI. And the new law tossed out the state's previous orders for three districts -- including Berlin -- to drop the Indian monikers.

Cozy Caz Lake Cottage
We rented this rustic and ultra-affordable cottage for our son's graduation from Colgate University. 8 family and close friends were very comfortably accommodated. The lakefront location and abundance of boats to mess about in were an added bonus! The spacious dining and living room and backyard with a barbecue grill were great for gatherings. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, cookware and dishes, but it was on the small side. The lack of laundry facilities might be a drawback for some, but it posed no problem for us. The owners were very easy to work with. We would definitely recommend this property to a friend/relative and we would stay there again in a heartbeat!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son is a student at Kaimuki. While most the teachers at Kaimuki are great if you have a problem with one right or wrong the school will not advocate for the student. There is very little teacher accountability. I moved to Hawaii with a straight A student and will be moving back home with a student who has A's one B and currently an F. The teacher has been cruel to him by causing him to miss lunches and wander around the school looking for answers to what was wrong with his paper while refusing to help him when he didn't understand the information on her rubric. When all was said and done all that was missing was a period after the html. This is one example of many. She has also asked him to keep things between them and spoken derogatorily about me. I feel for the other kids in the class whose parents maybe aren't involved and who have to go it alone,
Kaimuki Middle School has the best teacher/staff anyone could ask for. They are always helping you and they are very understanding and kind. Each grade is split up into different teams like 6th Grade has Na Koa, Na Hoku, and Laulima. 7th has Hui Ho'oulu, Lokahi, and Helu Ekahi. I don't know 8th grades though. I'm only in 7th grade. We have the best music program Ukulele, Band, Orchestra, and Chorus. Each year, some band, orhcestra, and chorus students go to Elementary schools and play for them teaching them about the instruments. Its really fun. I like all the activities and sports they have. We have health classes and CTE.
Kaimuki Middle School is overall a good school in my opinion. Some of the best features of this school are the teachers, the Music program, and the energy of me and my fellow classmates. To start off with the teachers, they are very nice. If a student needs help and/or a student has an issue with education or a classmate, teachers will talk to you in their free time to come up with the best solution. Teacher also have tutoring time after school, and can help students with any homework in order for students to fully understand their work. Now for the Music Program. There are is a wide variety of options for any of the students which include, Band, Orchestra, Chorus, and Ukulele. All of which is a great experience. Students must attend one of the classes daily, perform in concerts, and have the option for an annual trip that can take you around the world! One final thing that I found great are a couple of my classmates. The whole class can create an environment of teamwork and energy which is great for any student. Every school can have great things to it, and not so good things. "KMS" sometimes feels unsafe, as there are no fences or protection to it. Other than that it's great,
Kaimuki was a pretty good school, except that they move at a fast pace and the teachers don't get paid for staying after school, hence students are unable to get help if they have fallen behind. We had one of or the best public middle school band on Oahu, and we made up a good percentage of graduating kids that were accepted and now attend private schools. Overall, I think that Kaimuki just needs to put more struggling students into slower, more helpful classes, just like any other public school in America.
This is not a good school for kids on the lower side of standards. They do not offer any supportive services if your child is struggling to keep up. My daughter would try coming during recess or after school for help, but the teacher would have appointments to go to or not available. They don't offer any tutoring like other schools do. I asked if she could be in a lower class rather then keep following behind. I was told that they have thousands of kids and they don t have anymore lower classes available. When I asked about the law no child left behind they said that they are in the standards. My opinion is that this is an uncaring school. They only care about meeting the standard and not about the kids being left behind as long as they have enough kids that do meet the standards they don t have to help the kids that don t.
kaimuki middle school is a great school with a lot of fun and nice students
Administration, faculty, staff begin the vision, the parents help out, the children live it:'KMS, a place with heart that challenges and strengthens the mind, body, and spirit
Kaimuki middle school is a place with heart that strengthens the mind, the body and soul. Kaimuki is truly one of the safest schools around. It has a great band teacher and is known to have one of the best bands. We play pieces that are high school level and we get to travel around the world. I believe kaimuki middle school is the best place to send a child there because. They will feel safe and supported. No bullies whatsoever no bad things happen.. And if there would be then we would have the secirity guards to look after us. I love kaimuki middle school. It has a great education and its a safe place to send you child to school
I love kaimuki middle school. Every time I go to school I never wanted to leave, and when I do leave I always want to go back. in kaimuki middle school there are only good students and grades. At kaimuki middle school the education is excellent, the teachers are all expirienced and the students are kind. Also, kaimuki has won many awards as a very distinguished school. It is the perfect school, and I, as a student, would highly reccommend it to anyone who is considering going there.

The Radial Headbone is an advanced 'head switching device' that allows two different guitar amplifier heads to be used with a single speaker cabinet. With Headbone, one head could, for instance, be used for rhythm while a second head could be used for soloing. With 100% discreet class-A circuitry and choice of either buffered or un-buffered inputs, the Headbone will be of particular interest for players that demand the utmost in tonal performance.
• Switches two heads using one speaker cabinet
• Choice of direct and buffered inputs
• Digital micro-controlled relays
• Slingshot™ remote-control input
• On-board resistor ensures constant load on head
• Safemode™ power-off protection
The Headbone's internal switching comprises a sequence of relays, photocells, and load resistors, all of which are controlled via a digitally programmed chip. Hit the footswitch and the Headbone toggles the guitar signal from one amp to the other, disconnects the speaker and diverts the signal to a load resister, reconnects the speaker to the second head and turns on the guitar, all in quick succession.
To ensure safe and reliable performance, the Headbone features SafeMode™ whereby even when power is disconnected, the Headbone will automatically default to a 'head-1 to cabinet' status, ensuring a constant and safe load on the amplifier.
For large stages, the Headbone is equipped with Slingshot™, an easy to use remote control system that employs a standard foot switch or contact closure that enables the guitarist to toggle the Headbone's status from his pedal board. This eliminates running guitar and speaker cables to-and-from the pedal board and the amplifier.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - For the first time in nearly four months, 18-year-old Emily Romero is where she belongs, back in her National City home surrounded by loved ones.
Emily was released earlier this week, but four of her friends are still behind bars in Mexico.
Saturday, Romero spoke only to News 8 about her experience in hopes of educating others.
Between August 13th and this past Wednesday, Emily lived in a small cell with 11 other girls inside a Mexican prison.
Back in August, five local girls were dropped off in Mexico by a parent. They were supposed to be picked up the next day. Instead, they were allegedly tricked into borrowing a car without knowing it had been stolen.
A week before the Sweetwater graduate was supposed to start college, Romero and four other friends, two 18-year-olds and two in their early twenties, ventured to Rosarito for a night of innocent fun.
Shortly after arriving, someone is their group met a man, who told them they could borrow his car.
Several hours later, the girls were pulled over and accused of stealing the car. All five were cuffed. One officer asked for money from the girls. Another, attempted to get Emily alone.
The girls refused to comply with their demands, and they were hauled off the prison.
That's when Emily's parents stepped in. They talked to Mexican lawyers, local law enforcement, the U.S. Consulate, anyone who would listen to their story.
After four months of no progress, they finally hired an attorney who found a way to get Emily out.
Emily was released Wednesday and called her dad after crossing over into the U.S.
Now back home, Emily is cherishing the little things. But she hasn't forgotten her four other friends, who are still stuck behind bars.
Emily hopes to share her story with local teens so they can learn about some of the dangers associated with going to Mexico.

Thursday gossip roundup: TomKat will reunite for Suri's first day of school
Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are set to reunite for the first time since Holmes filed for divorce when their daughter, Suri, starts school in New York City after Labor Day, according to Radar Online. "Tom and Katie have been speaking on the telephone regarding Suri, and Katie has been very supportive of Tom wanting to be there when Suri goes to her new school for the first time," a source says. "It's a big moment in Suri's life and Katie wants Tom to be a part of that. Of course, there will be security concerns and Tom doesn't want to disrupt other parents and students at the school with his presence, which means he could very well slip in and out via a back entrance. Katie doesn't want Suri to suffer because of their divorce and both parents are truly putting the needs of their little girl ahead of their own feelings."
Two months after a bottle-throwing brawl erupted between their entourages at a New York nightclub, Chris Brown and Drake find themselves slapped with a $16 million lawsuit for being responsible for the fracas, according to the New York Daily News. A lawyer for Entertainment Enterprises Ltd., which has ties to the club, says the two R&B stars are ultimately responsible for their followers' behavior. "It's their posse, and they're in charge, and to the extent that they could have controlled or dissipated whatever was going on, we don't believe they did," he tells the newspaper.
It turns out Justin Theroux hedged his bets when proposing to Jennifer Aniston by doing it on his birthday, according to People magazine. "He's been dying to do it," a friend of the actor and screenwriter says. "His friends knew it was coming." The moment came while the pair was enjoying a day in New York City, and after Aniston's heartfelt "yes," they reportedly rushed to share the news with their families and close friends. "Everyone is really excited for them," the source says. "It's amazing to see how happy Justin makes Jen, and everyone was always hoping that he would propose."
Fans are speculating which ex-boyfriend Taylor Swift wrote her new single, "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together," about, but at least one is taking himself out of the running. "I can tell you it's not about me," Joe Jonas, who dated Swift in 2008, says during an interview with Washington, D.C. area radio station 94.7 Fresh FM. "I can say it's not about me because I don't think we ever tried another time."
Former "Blossom" star Mayim Bialik was hospitalized after being involved in a traffic collision with a car full of Chilean tourists in Hollywood Wednesday, according to TMZ. Eyewitnesses say that after the "extremely loud" collision, Bialik was "crying really hard" and there was "blood everywhere." The actress' hand was reportedly wrapped in a towel in an effort to stabilize a wound to her finger. "Her finger was almost completely severed," a source says. "It was just hanging there." Bialik was rushed to a nearby hospital, where the finger was able to be saved. Later that afternoon, she tweeted that she "will keep all my fingers."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSAU) - The No Budget, No Pay Act which passed the House of Representatives this week had support from both sides of the isle. One of them was 3rd District Democratic Congressman Ron Kind.
Although he supported it, Kind is critical of how Congress has failed to create a long term solution. Kind criticized his Republican colleagues, saying they "are again putting a Band-Aid on the problem." The La Crosse Congressman says, "We cannot continue to have this argument every few months" which "creates waves of uncertainty for both families and businesses and expect our economy to grow."
Kind believes it would be catastrophic if the U.S. didn't extend the debt limit, since it would have a negative effect on our economy and world markets. He says, "Though it's not perfect, this bill keeps us from defaulting on our obligations and is the right thing to avoid economic disaster,"
The 3rd District Democrat voted with Republicans on this temporary debt limit bill, saying, "Wisconsinites know hard work and they know if they don't do their jobs, they don't get paid. Members of Congress should have to abide by the same rules. It's time to do our job, make the tough decisions to get our fiscal house in order, and lay out a bipartisan, long-term solution to our budget deficits."
The No Budget, No Pay Act was proposed by the No Labels organization, which promotes itself as a grassroots movement of Democrats, Republicans and independents dedicated to promoting a new politics of problem solving.
The vote passed by a count of 285-144. Thirty-three Republicans opposed the measure, while 86 Democrats voted to approve it. The Wisconsin delegation votes as follows: AYES: Paul Ryan, Reid Ribble, Ron Kind, Sean Duffy, Mark Pocan. NOES: Thomas Petri, James Sensenbrenner Gwen Moore,

Defense seeks more time in teacher killingLISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | March 22,2013
Provided photo ¬ Melissa Jenkins, 33, of St. Johnsbury is seen in this photo provided by Vermont State Police.ST. JOHNSBURY A lawyer for a Vermont man charged with his wife in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher nearly a year ago said Thursday he will likely ask that the trial be moved out of Caledonia County because of publicity surrounding the case.
In court earlier, defense attorney Dan Maguire asked a judge for more time until October to prepare for trial in the case of Allen Prue, who is charged with his wife, Patricia, in the death of Melissa Jenkins, 33, last March.
If the judge grants the request, the defense would have until May to file a motion for a change of venue.
The Prues will be tried separately and have different lawyers. They are accused of luring Jenkins from her Danville home on March 25, 2012, beating and strangling her and dumping her body in the Connecticut River.
Allen Prue, 31, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Patricia Prue, 34, has pleaded not guilty to an aggravated murder charge, accusing her of killing Jenkins during a sexual assault or attempted sexual assault.
Her lawyer, Marc Eagle, told the judge Thursday that he is on track but may find later he needs more time depending on the results of laboratory work on a laptop computer and hair samples.
The county prosecutors office says it does not know when the tests will be complete. The judge has already denied a motion to move Patricia Prues trial out of Caledonia County, saying the request was premature.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Lawmakers complained to the states top health care reform official Thursday they...

– David Moss is a director at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Atlanta. The views expressed are his own. –
"Newspapers are dying." Lately, that's the constant, gloomy chorus. But it couldn't be further from the truth.
Certainly, the newspaper industry faces significant challenges, including a tough economy and the mass migration of readers and advertisers to the Internet. But newspaper brands that successfully transition to digital models can thrive — without giving up their streamlined print products.
The key is for newspapers to reach that still-elusive sweet spot between their traditional mass audience business model and the niche readerships found on the Internet. Together, print and online operations can create a sustainable balance that meets advertisers' needs and attracts new readers while maintaining their existing audience.
Here's how newspapers can strike that balance.
Bridge the digital divide
The Internet offers an ideal platform to build audiences and win advertisers. Readers today have unprecedented access to breaking news and information through mobile technology, while online advertising shows promising long-term prospects. Newspapers that can leverage these trends can extend or transition their core audience across print, online and mobile platforms.
