Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday! Chiang Mai's old city is a maze of small side streets and lanes. Each one is a soi (like in soy milk). I am currently living on Thapae Gate Road Soi 2. They are used by locals and visitors alike to escape from the traffic of the busy streets. You also never know what you might during a random "soi stroll"; a cute restaurant in a garden setting, a store selling local goods, a pretty guesthouse. What I found on a stroll this week was none of these, but it made me laugh out loud. Have a look.
To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.
Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.
The Twitter hash tag for Travel Photo Thursday is #TPThursday.
As a courtesy please post a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox.
Would you ride in this?

How cute! I would absolutely love riding this. I've always been a huge Sanrio fan and now my daughter has inherited that Hello Kitty collection. I miss riding these Asian transport systems. I remember riding similar version in the Philippines growing up and they were all decked out too. Hope you're still having a wonderful stay in Chiang Mai.

If my younger daughter spotted it then I wouldn't have much choice – we'd be riding the Hello Kitty bus!

I'm sure it's a pretty good marketing strategy. They must have won over more than a few customers who might have passed it by but decided that they had to ride the Hello Kitty Tuk Tuk!

I would love to – just looking at it makes me laugh. I don't think I would be successful in luring B.H. into it though.

Sure, my daughter and I would ride it, but my boys might refuse. Actually, my oldest son would probably harp about the bus not paying licensing fees to use the copyrighted Hello Kitty character.
Michele recently posted…The Allure of Uluru (Ayers Rock)
I'd definitely ride in it though I might have to scream if scared. Very cute.
Leigh recently posted…Luminous Landscapes: Entranced by Light in Bryce Canyon NP
Would I? Nope. I let out a silent scream every time I see Hello Kitty. The charm escapes me. But I might as well surrender, she's everywhere in the world–as is Dora the Explorer, whom I like a lot more!
Vera Marie Badertscher recently posted…Reader's Choice: Best of Last Year's Travel Photos
Given the popularity of Hello Kitty, I'm actually surprised there aren't more tuk tuks decorated like this around the world. It's certainly a bit of fun to see but my days of Hello Kitty are well and truly over…until the grandkids arrive!
Enjoy the rest of your stay in Chiang Mia..have you got long left before you return home?
jenny recently posted…The Roman Ruins of Jerash
Oh I remember those being called tuk-tuk's back when we were in Bangkok oh so many decades ago. Decided maybe in a small town but I don't think I'd want to do it in big city traffic!
Jackie Smith recently posted…Travel Realities: The Other Side of the Postcard
That's definitely not what I expected to see! Still, it's quite cute.
I know way too many bloggers that live in Chiang Mai! I'm actually considering moving to Bangkok in a couple years, but I guess I'll have to start considering Chiang Mai as well? ;)
And that hello Kitty rickshaw is just too funny!

That's an adorable little ride! It's always fun to find these unexpected gems.

The venue, Folgefonna, Norway. The aim, to create a session that ends the season on a high and to get some of the great snowboarding minds together to push creativity and progression in the 20 hours of sunlight that Norwegian summers have to offer. With a set up created by legendary shaper Lars Eriksen, everything was in place to pretend we were back on those old computers experimenting with what was and wasn't possible. Bring on the 'The Nike 6.0 D-Pad Session'.
The dozen riders selected for the task was a mix of established names who gave their take on modern snowboarding and next generation riders who did their part to kick snowboarding into the future: Gjermund Bråten, Ethan Morgan, Gerome Mathieu, Ståle Sandbech, Jamie Nicholls, Terje Håkonsen, Jake Blauvelt, Matt Ladley, Mason Aguirre, Eero Ettala, Kevin Bäckström and Erik Botner.
And after seeing the footage, it is safe to say that the future of snowboarding is in safe hands.

How it Ranks: Sandals Royal Plantation ranks #5 out of 454 Jamaica Hotels based on an evaluation of expert ratings and awards, as well as user reviews. The hotel scored high enough to make the U.S. News list of the Best Hotels in Jamaica.
- #5 in Best Jamaica Hotels
- #1 in Sandals Resorts
Our Take: Sandals Royal Plantation, part of Sandals' Jamaican fleet of adult-only all-inclusives, emphasizes luxury over size. Each of its 74 ocean-view suites on the Ocho Rios Riviera come with personalized butler service to cater to your every need, as well as marbled bathrooms, king-sized beds draped in Italian linens and private balconies or patios. The luxurious digs and amenities at Royal Plantation make for a special Sandals resort, but guests say it's the friendly service they received from the resort staff that keep them coming back again and again. Spend your days golfing, scuba diving or playing tennis; then, retreat to the Red Lane Spa, a Sandals staple. After a full day, dine in the lap of luxury at one of Royal Plantation's six bars or restaurants — for an extra swanky treat, head to C Bar, the only champagne and caviar bar in Jamaica.

Licancabur is a highly symmetrical stratovolcano on the southernmost part of the border between Chile and Bolivia. It is located just southwest of Laguna Verde in Bolivia. The volcano dominates the landscape of the Salar de Atacama area. The lower two thirds of the northeastern slope of the volcano belong to Bolivia, 5,400 m (17,717 ft) from the foot at 4,360 m (14,304 ft), while the rest and biggest part, including the higher third of the northeastern slope, the crater and summit, belong to Chile. The summit and the crater are located entirely in Chile, slightly over 1 km (3,281 ft) to the south west of the international borders, it is about 400 m (1,312 ft) wide and contains a 70 m (230 ft) by 90 m (295 ft) crater lake, Licancabur Lake, which is ice-covered most of the year. This is one of the highest lakes in the world, and despite air temperatures which can drop to -30 °C, it contains planktonic fauna.
Licancabur's most recent volcanic activity produced extensive lava flows which extend 6 km down the northwest and southwest flanks, with older lava flows reaching 15 km (9 mi) and pyroclastic flow deposits as far as 12 km (7 mi) from the peak. Extensive Inca ruins, located on the summit, provide proof of pre-Columbian ascents as well as evidence for the absence of major eruptions over the past 500-1.000 years.

We love the X-Prize, right? They helped the private sector get into space and only today herbal alternative to levitra are now sponsoring a competition to http://saltlakewebcentral.com/express-levitra-delivery create a commercially-viable 100 mpg car. But they're not stopping there. The X-Prize Foundation has announced that they will be creating several new prizes for a variety of viagra online without prescription environmental categories with a total worth of $100M. Apparently, this new suite of X-Prizes includes the levitra canada prescription Automotive X-Prize and may also include (but not be limited to):
- Biofuels
- Energy storage
- Carbon Capture
- Solar
- Water
- Energy efficiency
- Clean aviation fuel
- "The provision of basic utilities for developing nations"
The basis for the need, says the CEO of the foundation, Peter Diamandis, is that progress is happening too slow. Indeed, I tend to agree with him. Though the vast amount of news that we have to cover every day at EcoGeek is a testament to the fact that clean technology is developing quickly, solutions are not coming in fast enough.
The first new prize, for Biofuels, will be launched later this year, with others being rolled out over a two-year period.
The Foundation hopes that each of the sectors in which they provide a prize has the potential to truly revolutionize the visit web site levitra online doctor economy. And with 8% of venture capital funding in America already flowing into clean technology, it's likely that they're right. Details on the "Energy and Environment X-Prize Suite" (PDF) will continue to emerge throughout the next year. And while $10 M is a bit trivial in what could end up being a trillion dollar industry, it may be that the first $10 M is more important than the last $100 B.

Remember, decreasing the coefficient by 10% doesn't mean the spells do 10% less damage -- it means they get 10% less of +damage from your gear.
As far as reasons go, here's what I was able to scrounge from the forums:

That's one way to look at it. You could certainly recoup those removed percentage points in that manner. Devs were just shaving off a little damage from the end-game scenario, as they felt the dps was a little out of line with where they would like it. It's fairly obvious that it's a removal of dps from primary nukes, so there isn't much more to elaborate on.
Cooldown on GDC was a philosophy decision. They decided to agree with you. ;)

University Museums exhibit, symposium and set of courses – Fall 2011 (ANTH, FLLT, ENGL, University Museums)
An interdisciplinary program on the African Diaspora in the Americas.
The African Americas project seeks to convey the magnitude, diversity, and impact of the African Diaspora in the Americas. In particular, the program will explore the deep and lasting connections between Latin America, the Caribbean, and black artists, intellectuals, and institutions in the United States. The program is deeply interdisciplinary, bringing together artists, musicians, and humanities scholars in music, art, art history, literature, anthropology, and history.
The program is accompanied by two semester-long undergraduate seminars, "Sugar, Salsa and Santería," taught by Persephone Braham in Foreign Languages/Latin American & Iberian Studies, and "Representations of Slavery in the Americas," taught by Pier Gabrielle Foreman. The symposium is held in conjunction with an exhibition by Jamaican-American artist Keith Morrison, "The Middle Passage" on view from September-December 2011 in Mechanical Hall, the home of the Paul R. Jones Collection of African American Art. The symposium also coincides with: Latino Heritage Month; the 40th anniversary of the Black American Studies program, newly designated a department; and the 35th anniversary of the Center for Black Culture.
The African Americas Project is sponsored by the Delaware Humanities Forum, the Paul R. Jones Initiative, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Research Center, Latin American & Iberian Studies, Area Studies, the College of Arts & Sciences, the Departments of Anthropology, Art History, Art, Black American Studies, Foreign Languages & Literatures, History, Music, and Women's Studies, and the Institute for Global Studies.

Braham teaches literature and culture courses with a focus on Afro-Hispanic and Caribbean themes. She is the author of Crimes Against the State, Crimes Against Persons: Detective Fiction in Cuba and Mexico (Minnesota, 2004) and numerous articles on Latin American literature and culture.

Her digital media work has also been shown at The Studio Museum in Harlem, Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, and in numerous galleries, museums and public institutions in the United States. Gaiter has exhibited multimedia works internationally in SIGGRAPH and ISEA (International Symposium on Electronic Art) exhibitions. Her current creative work and research focus on Cuba, where she has traveled several times in recent years. After working as a graphic designer in Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, and New York City, Gaiter began teaching at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1986. Since then she has taught at Columbia College in Chicago in the Interactive Arts and Media department, and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Her writing on the Black Panther artist Emory Douglas has appeared in several publications and she is working on a documentary about his work.
Julie L. McGee, Ph.D. is Curator of African American Art at the University Museums and Associate Professor of Black American Studies. McGee received her B.A. in Government and Legal Studies and History of Art from Bowdoin College and her Ph.D. in History of Art from Bryn Mawr College.

I had a serious kind of fun photographing them. Of course, I had to ask first from the father (they're Chinese) if I could take candid shots of them. For most of the times they were around, I was just watching them —cheesy— and I felt like just 'absorbing' their genuine time together. I showed them the photos after. I didn't bother to get his contact number or email, but now I have the urge to print some and give him copies.

Felt relaxed when i stared at the photos one by one.
So lovely!!!!! ^.^

India's Infosys denies reports of 5,000 job cuts
India's Infosys denies reports of 5,000 job cuts
The Economic Times reported on Friday morning that the firm was set to ask about three to four percent of its 151,000-strong workforce to leave immediately, citing people familiar with the development.
The business daily said the Bangalore-based firm, which lags in growth to rivals TCS and Wipro, wants to reduce costs while moving towards a more aggressive sales strategy.
"The people who are being let go are part of a performance-basis evaluation. It has nothing to do with lay-offs. It happens each year," Infosys spokeswoman Sarah Vanita Gideon told AFP.
She said such staff exits would be "significantly lower" than 5,000.
The firm, which is also listed on the Nasdaq in New York, has been struggling to expand its business and has missed sales targets, lost market share and seen its stocks slide in the past year as revenues from the United States ease.
Amid intense competition, Infosys in October announced a six percent pay rise for Indian employees and a two to three percent increase for overseas staff.
The firm has projected an estimate of $7.34 billion for its full-year revenues for the fiscal year ending March 2013.
It will report its third quarter earnings next week, but analysts say the near-term outlook for the firm remains challenging.
Infosys, which is in the midst of a top management shuffle, has decided to focus on higher value software and consulting services for clients instead of labour-intensive outsourcing services.
One-fifth of the company's revenue comes from Europe, and in recent years the firm has shifted focus to emerging and new markets such as Singapore, Brazil, Mexico and eastern Europe.

Jewels on the bay
Date: January 20, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Residents already know that Longboat Key is a jewel on the bay. But this year, organizers of the 15th annual "Jewels on the Bay" showhouse tour, which benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sarasota and Manatee counties, took note and selected two Longboat Key homes for its tour.
The tour features a 1950s home, designed by famed Sarasota architect Tim Seibert, located at 756 Dream Island Road and owned by Reid and Susan Murphy, of Developers Realty Group, along with a home built in the 1980s at 991 Longboat Club Road at the Longboat Key Club, owned by Carri Tryne.
Approximately 30 local professional designers designed rooms for this year's tour. Each year, members of the design community are invited to view the selected homes and choose a room for which they submit a design.
A committee then assigns space, and designers gather to discuss what they envision for the home. Designers typically have a period of approximately 14 days to install their designs.
Since the tour began in 1996, more than 75,000 people have toured "Jewels on the Bay" showhouses. The tour has raised more than $1 million for the Boys & Girls Clubs.
Contact Robin Hartill at email@example.com
For a full schedule, go to www.designershowhouse-sarasota.com.
Opening event — begins at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at 756 Dream Island Road and 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at 991 Longboat Club Road. Poolside cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will follow at the Longboat Club Road home. Tickets are $75.
Home tours — take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays from Sunday, Jan. 24 through Sunday, Feb. 21.

Employer's 'Codes of Conduct' are violations of my civil rights
I recently worked with a Fortune 25 corp and had to sign a 'code of conduct' as a condition of employment. In it, it stated (effectively) 'employees conduct is a reflection of the company both on and off the job, therefore employees must conduct themselves in a manner representing the company at all times'. I felt this violated my civil rights. I felt that I was hired to perform a task, to a job, and that my life is my own. The employer (ostensibly) felt that to work there was a choice, not a demand, and this is their condition of employment if I should 'choose' to work there. My conduct is my business - especially 'off' the job. I am not a slave. I am not 'owned'. My actions are not 'owned', and I cannot be 'discarded' because I may or may not have personal values that mirror my employers. Employment is 'at will', I agree. But losing my job because of my conduct at home is a violation of my civil rights.

May 19 2013: R H
For some reason, TED didn't put the little 'reply' thingy up there.
So this is in response to your "That's the rub, isn't it?" response.
Yes, you have a choice R H. That is your Civil Right. Your choice.
Yes you can choose not to work for large successful profitable
companies because they can exercise their right to, effectively,
control your personal life. That is your Civil Right. Your choice.
Now I see you are moving your argument to losing your 'civil liberties'.
How is your livelihood threatened R H?
Is this a ploy to keep a conversation going?

I was unconvinced by Matisyahu when he was big back during my college days. But this song, a collaboration with Akon, is a pretty solid jam. I really do like pop with a big worldview, beyond the Jay-Zesque style of world-domination by an individual. This fits the bill, while sounding pretty sweet. Kind of reminds me of K'naan's "Wavin' Flag."

Here's what to look for this weekend in Class AAAAA:
- Northside-Warner Robins (2-AAAAA) and Ware County (3-AAAAA) can clinch region titles with victories on Friday. Ware County has the easier task. The Gators will claim their 10th region championship if they beat Bradwell Institute (3-5), but even if they lose they can win the region by beating Effingham County (5-3) in the season finale. Northside must beat city rival Warner Robins, which is 7-1 overall and tied for second place in the region. Warner Robins would take the title with victories in its final two games.
- Thomas County Central (1-AAAAA) and Tucker (6-AAAAA) will win region titles if they win out, but they also can clinch this week if they get help.

The public library and the 21st century 'People's University. Back in 1938 Alvin Johnson argued that we should: "develop the public library into a permanent center of adult education, informally a people's university". In the 21st century new winds of change are blowing through learning. Social economic and technology factors combine to create new challenges and opportunities. Public libraries have a huge opportunity to revitalise their long standing commitment to learning and reinvigorate themselves at the heart of the process. Access to Research, CORE and others initiatives now provide public libraries with free access to millions of journal articles. The question is how, in the 21st century, public libraries will galvanise these resources and develop communities of learners.
Research process and research data management. Many universities are looking at how they can better serve the needs of researchers. Ken Chad Consulting worked with the University of Westminster to look the needs and attitudes of researchers and admin staff in terms of research data management (RDM). The result led the University to look first at the whole lifecycle and workflows of research administration. This in turn led to the innovative, rapid development of a system to support researchers and admin staff. Presented by Suzanne Enright (University of Westminster) and Ken Chad at the annual UKSG conference in April 2014
Rethinking Resource Management. "Focus on the user"may not be the phrase that first comes to mind when thinking about transforming technical, resource management workflows, but evaluating through this lens can bring inventive new directions . Ken Chad looks ways to re-think library workflow and systems by evaluating what you do through the eyes of your users. Users want to solve particular problems and your workflows should support that resolution. Presented as a ProQuest webinar in April 2014
"Library systems: crossing the chasm." Are you a visionary 'early adopter' or a laggard in terms of 'next generation' Library Services Platforms? Ken is presenting at the 2014 UKSG conference on 14th and 15th April. There has been much interest and some hype about a new generation of 'Library Services Platforms' that are replacing library management systems (LMS) (or, in US parlance, ILS). Ken looks at library systems in terms of the technology adoption life cycle described and analysed by Geoffrey Moore in his book 'Crossing the chasm'.
Ebooks: what are they good for? As libraries struggle with issues around ebook platforms, digital rights management (DRM), business models, and ebook formats it is worth stepping back and revisiting the fundamental issue of what ebooks are for. Keynote Presentation at the "Ebooks 2014: Are we nearly there yet?" Conference. University of the West of England 7 April 2014
Ebook 'consumption' – the challenges issues and opportunities. Outputs from the Jisc 'Challenges of ebooks' project. Ken spoke at the JIBS 'Joys and perils of ebooks' meeting in London in November 2013. The meeting was designed to bring together stakeholders in Further and Higher Education to discuss 'just where ebooks are taking us in the 21st century institution'
Library systems- a business case for change? Ken gave a short presentation (Library infrastructure: value for money?) at the Jisc Library System Programme Workshop on 15th July 2013. It looked at the value and business case for making changes to library technology infrastructure. The workshop was a chance for the projects that made up the programme to talk about the work they had done and the tools and resources they have created, and a chance for the community to discuss some of the issues and challenges that the sector currently faces. The workshop had three main strands that explored:
- Collaborative Systems and Services;
- Transforming workflows and practices
- Tools and Techniques for Systems Change
Library Systems: a changing market. Ken delivered the keynote to the M25 consortium of academic libraries in London meeting 'Changing your LMS' [ILS] in April 2013. Library systems are no longer 'stand alone'. Global technology influences are driving the market more than ever. There is a risk that the solutions libraries provide remain detached from truly meeting the real needs of users – library staff , academics, researchers and students. Instead of library systems, or even 'next generation' library services platforms, perhaps we need to think in terms of the wider library technology 'ecosystem'. Taking that broader viewpoint might change how decisions are made about the products libraries buy and the services they deliver
'Customers/users: don't look at needs: analyse the 'jobs-to-be-done'. Ken spoke at the UKSG annual conference in April 2013 about the jobs-to-be-done methodology. The JTBD approach can be used by organisations, libraries and business to give a very productive insight into customer behaviour that can be used to 'test' existing, new, potential or imagined products and services.
'Trends in, and reflections on, library discovery services'. Ken was the keynote speaker at the JIBS event: 'New dawn: the changing resource discovery landscape' in February 2013.
The library & teaching & learning: reading list systems. Reading lists appear to be the new 'must have' for UK academic libraries and a raft of new systems has entered the market. Ken's presentation at a seminar at the University of Staffordshire in December 2012 looked at some of the underlying trends in Higher Education and the current reading list offerings
Ken was the keynote speaker in September at the 2012 Inter Parliamentary Research & Information Network (IPRIN) conference. In his presentation he spoke about the technology led challenges for information and research services and highlighted some approaches to making a strategic response
Ebooks: demand (patron) driven acquisitions & the challenge to our ideas of ILL & collections. Ken spoke at the June 2012 Forum for Interlending & Information Delivery (FIL) conference 'keeping our customers satisfied' at the University of Worcester
Business models: The interest in business models has grown in the last few years as the impact of the digital transformation disrupts existing models and creates new ones (or new applications for old ones). At the 2012 UKSG annual conference in March Ken looked at a business model framework and its building blocks. The event was blogged
Transforming Library Systems: At the UCISA conference in March 2012 Ken spoke to a group of Higher Education IT Directors about of the challenges facing libraries and the 'next generation' library systems that are attempting to provide solutions.
Navigating your library through the 'perfect storm.' Ken was the keynote speaker at the 2012 Academic and Special Libraries (A&SL) Annual Seminar in Dublin (Ireland) on Friday 24th February. The concurrence of hard economic times and technology-driven disruptive forces has created what might be called a 'perfect storm' for many organizations, not least libraries. Ken explored some analytical and critical approaches and methodologies that he has used to help libraries and increase the chances of a successful future.
Innovation, efficiency & strategy: Ken presented the keynote at the Dawson Day event in Manchester in November 2011
Understanding shared services and the drive for efficiency in scholarly communications. Ken spoke at the one day UKSG conference in London on 16th November. Ken's presentation looks at the rationale, barriers, kinds of opportunities & services, impact and finally what we should do about shared services and 'the cloud.' A video of the presentation with slides is also available
Time for strategy: Ken was the keynote speaker at the 2011 National Acquisitions Group (NAG) conference in Manchester on 7th September. Libraries in all sectors face the challenge of relentless, disruptive, technology-driven change and tough economic times. Libraries are under pressure and there is a risk that decisions are made without an appreciation of their strategic importance. This is a good time then to look at some approaches to strategy, differentiating it from 'mission' and looking at business models.
Strategy, business case and open source for libraries. Ken spoke at the PTFS Europe and Loughborough University Dept. of Information science seminar on 'the evolution of open source library systems' at Loughborough on 20th September 2011
Open Library Environments: Ken spoke at the 2011 UKSG conference (4-6 April) in Harrogate
'Open Edge: open source in libraries'. Edinburgh 25/26 January 2011. A conference supported by SCONUL & JISC. Ken spoke on 'The OSS landscape in libraries'.
What is Open Source? Why use it and who benefits. Ken delivered the keynote at the UK e-information Group (UKeiG) annual seminar on 16 June 2010.
Disrupting libraries: the potential for new services. Ken spoke at the IFLA Satellite conference in Florence in August and then at the 2009 Charleston conference in November. His presentation, looked at how the 'disruptive innovation' model developed by Clayton Christensen et al applies to the library market and how libraries themselves can use this analysis to develop new 'disruptive' products and services.
Return on library investment: Presented at Internet Librarian International, London October 2008. The growth and maturation of the web and its associated technologies have driven changes in business models and user behaviours. It is not clear what role "conventional" libraries will play in a reconfigured information economy. This is a period of disruptive change and libraries need to look carefully at how to get the best return on their technology investment.
How can public libraries compete? What is the competition? How can libraries make best use of their special assets. Presentation to the CILIP Wales conference in 2008.
'The new 'Networked Information Economy': and its impact on university library services. Ken spoke at the 2008 Libraries @Cambridgeconference on 10th January 2008.
'Changing business models…'addressed the impact of new technology and business models on copyright and IPR, and in enabling free and low cost commercial 'library' services that are competing with established academic library services. Gregynog Colloquium., June 11th-15th 2007.
E-Books and E-Content: Conference at University College London, 8th May 2007. Ken looked at how global free and low cost commercial "library" services will change the business model of libraries. — 'A very well delivered and engaging presentation with some challenging ideas.…' John Akeroyd, Chair Ebooks and EContent 2007.

Did you know that even non-contact activities like cheer and dance can put your joints at risk for injury? The chances of these injuries increase for those who participate at higher levels of competition, which may include jumps and flips. Cheer and dance both involve pivoting, running and flexibility, all of which may cause ankle sprains. Cheer and dance ankle braces may help reduce the opportunity for ankle sprains to occur by providing ample support for your ankles. These same maneuvers may also cause knee strain, and in some cases, ligament tears. Cheer and dance knee braces can support both sides of the knee and provide warmth, keeping your muscles limber for cheer and chance.

Chapter 15-I Hate Clichés Too Much To Call This Chapter 'The End'3 Reviews
Kristina deals...
"What are you doing here young lady? You should be in your room!" my mom glared angrily and pulled me up from behind Pete.
My dad burst into the room, "I'm SO sorry Kris! I tried my best, I promise! But your mom's really smart! Martha, don't be upset with her, I might have encouraged this." He looked at my mom, panting for breath.
"Of course! Of course you had to do with this! You're the person who got her interested in that gruesome sport too!" she glared at my dad too.
We both meekly stared back as she continued her shouting, "Both of you come with me RIGHT NOW! AND YOU TOO" she pointed at Pete.
He gasped, "What did I do?!"
"I DON'T KNOW! I'M JUST MAD! COME WITH ME!" I would've laughed at that but I was way too scared of what would happen if I did.
Alicia waved timidly as the four of us left the room.
Mom marched us back to my house and forced us to sit down in the itchy living room sofa so we could "talk about this calmly". But I think she's the one who needs to calm down...
"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD LIE TO ME! TWICE! AND PROBABLY MORE TIMES IF I HADN'T CAUGHT YOU! AND THOMAS, HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME TOO?! WHY ARE YOU ALL AGAINST ME? IT'S A CONSPIRACY!" she sat down and rested her head in her hands exasperatedly.
My dad tried to give her a hug but instead got slapped. That made his submission come to an end.
"MARTHA! I lied because you told our daughter that she couldn't succeed in something that she really wants to do. Who are you to say that? Just because your parents didn't let you pursue your dreams doesn't mean you can't let Kristina. In fact, it means the exact opposite! You should let her do something that you wish you'd done but never got the courage to. I understand that she shouldn't have snuck out like that, she should have come and talked to us. But that's in the past now. Let's not make the same mistake twice and just come up with a compromise."
Then the truth came out. My mother had wanted to be an actress but her parents didn't let her do it. And she, being the angelic kid she is, didn't do anything about it. So now, she was stuck doing some boring job in a gray office. She thought what her parents did was for her best so she tried to carry out the same thing to me. But I'm "not as innocent as I look".
The three of us tried to figure out a way for me to get a job and have enough time to play soccer afterwards. None of us could think of anything. Then Pete, who had been silent for the past fifteen minutes, spoke up.
"I hear that the community's trying to make a soccer team or something. And they're looking for coaches. Maybe Kristina and I could do it," he suggested.
"OH MY GOD! THAT'S GENIUS!" I yelled and hugged him.
My parents nodded in approval.
Everything worked out in the end. But if I stopped my story when Pete and I got the job and started teaching kids how to play soccer, it would be a total cliché. And I hate clichés. So I'll stop at this; if you really want to do something, set your mind to it and you will succeed no matter what everyone else says. That's even more of a cliché, isn't it?
Pete and I sat down in the bench, waiting for the day's batch of talentless children to arrive and be blown away by our amazing soccer skills.
"Kris, can I tell you something?" he asked, his brown eyes looking deeply into mine.
"I love you,"
I was pleasantly surprised, "I love you too."
He held my face in his hands and pulled me into a kiss.
When we finally broke apart, we saw a familiar figure running towards the two of us yelling, "PETE MYSTER! WHAT'S CHILLIN'?!"
The two of us screamed at the sight of Max in full soccer gear.
"RUN!" Pete shouted.
And we did. Fast.

Expect 4-8 Atlantic hurricanes, NOAA says
A near-normal Atlantic hurricane season is expected this year, with nine to 15 named storms and four to eight hurricanes, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday.
Of those four to eight hurricanes, NOAA expects one to three to be major. The six-month season begins June 1.
NOAA also said it predicts a near-normal season for the Eastern Pacific, estimating a 70% chance of 12 to 18 named storms – with five to nine hurricanes, of which two to five would be major – for that area.
A major hurricane, designated as Category 3 or greater, packs winds of well more than 100 mph. The weakest hurricanes have top sustained winds of at least 74 mph, and named storms have top winds of at least 39 mph.
NOAA officials said uncertainty over whether the El Nino weather pattern will form made it difficult to be more precise in predicting the Atlantic storm season.
"If (El Nino) develops by late summer to early fall ... conditions could be less conducive for hurricane formation and intensification during the peak months (August to October) of the season, possibly shifting the activity toward the lower end of the predicted range," said Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center.
The forecasts do not predict how many of the storms will reach land.
Thursday's predictions came as a strengthening Hurricane Bud, churning in the Pacific, appeared poised to bring heavy rain to coastal southwestern Mexico

Hutson Mason is poised to make his second start for Georgia on New Year's Day in the Gator Bowl and start the 2014 season as expected as the Bulldogs' guy at quarterback after waiting for three years for the gig.
The intrigue this spring and preseason at the position may be how things shake out behind him.
Faton Bauta moved up to the No. 2 spot after Aaron Murray's college career ended with a torn ACL.
Freshman Brice Ramsey will be coming off a redshirt season and early enrollee Jacob Park will join the mix for spring practice.
I asked offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, who coaches the quarterbacks, what he has to work with behind Mason.
I didn't ask about redshirt sophomore Christian LeMay, who fell behind walk-on Parker Welch on the depth chart, and has missed practice time this week for what were described as personal reasons.
LeMay is expected back at practice today.
"I really don't know what I've got," Bobo said. "Aaron and Hutson have taken the majority of the reps this whole season until Aaron got hurt. It's hard to rep three guys. Faton gets a little bit here and there, but I do think three talented guys."
Here's what he had to say about Bauta, Ramsey and Park.
On Bauta, 6-3, 216, redshirt freshman, West Palm Beach, Fla.: "Faton is a little bit of a hybrid, a little bit so to speak. A little bit different than what we've had here in the past. He'll bring more an element to possibly run, not necessarily the zone read that Aaron has run occasionally, but more of the runs where the quarterback powers and stuff that you see some of these other teams do. I really like his development. I like how he's progressed the last two years.
"Everybody talks about Aaron Murray. This guy works as hard as Aaron Murray. I don't know what y'all can see when y'all are over here, but he's always over here working and staying out after. He's probably still out there right now. A guy we recruited as an athlete, we give a shot at quarterback. He's got his mind set that he wants to play quarterback. He's still got to improve on some things and do some things, but he's a strong-willed individual that I'm excited to see compete in the spring and maybe in the bowl game. I don't know."
On Ramsey, 6-3, 205, true freshman, Camden County High School: "Brice is a talented, talented kid that's got extreme upside. I think he's got a very, very high ceiling. He's a little bit raw, but I think his football is all ahead of him. He's probably got one of the prettier throwing motions we've had here in a long time, almost effortless. So he's got a lot of natural ability. We've got to continue to work on some little things in getting better. He's got to work on preparing himself to be great because that's what he wants to be. Sometimes it's hard when you're redshirting to say, `Hey, I'm going to go to work every day,' with the mindset that 'I've got to try to get better today.' We're working on that. He's got some more reps with Aaron being down. I'm excited to see what he has and what he does in the spring. Where he is right now compared to the beginning of the year, I'm impressed with his knowledge. Halfway through the season, I took him out of the meetings and put him upstairs with a graduate assistant and kind of went back to square zero and started teaching him everything over again so he'll be ready to go in the spring."
On Park, 6-4, 190, incoming freshman, Stratford High School in Goose Creek, S.C. (coaches may comment on Park because he signed a financial aid agreement): "Jacob is another taller guy like Brice that has a strong arm and a live arm, a good quick release. He probably has a little bit more athletic ability than Brice but still not the type of runner Faton is. It's going to be interesting to see because he's got a demeanor and a confidence about him, a kind of `I don't care attitude. I'm going to go show up and I'm going to compete,' and I like guys that want to compete."
