Vermont teens find activism at end of paintbrushBy Kevin O'Connor
Staff Writer | July 07,2014
Kevin O'Connor / Staff Photo Dylan McAllister, the newest student representative to the Vermont Board of Education, paints a sign at the Governor's Institute on Current Issues & Youth Activism now taking place in Brattleboro.BRATTLEBORO — Ask 15-year-old Molly Engels what she and her peers are talking about at this month's Governor's Institute on Current Issues & Youth Activism and she points to a full spectrum of societal problems and possible solutions.
"We are the generation of change," she says.
That's why the Rutland High School sophomore and 60 fellow Vermont teenagers have momentarily stopped texting and Twittering to dip into an even more fluid means of communication: Tempera paint.
When institute leaders at Brattleboro's World Learning arrived with Dixie cups full of washable color, some students wondered if they had fallen back into kindergarten. But after instructors offered a crash course on the dynamics and durability of the protest sign, the plugged-in generation proved game to turn pigment into political action.
Randolph Union High School students Kate Conard and Addison Rooney tapped a smartphone to translate and paint the word "peace" in nearly a dozen languages.
Conard, 16, noted her father and grandfathers served in the military. She supports them — but doesn't like to see anyone placed in life-threatening situations.
"I feel very strongly about peace," Conard said. "It doesn't make sense to be angry. It just makes things worse."
"We're all one species," Rooney, 15, added. "Why do we have to fight?"
Montpelier student Leah Sagan-Dworsky voiced similar sentiments as she transformed a sheet of corrugated cardboard into a Jackson Pollock canvas featuring the words "equality for all."
"I'm a feminist and a supporter of everybody having rights," she said, "so I thought, let's make it colorful."
That, and she accidentally splattered paint all over her once-white paper, leading to a larger experiment in abstract expressionism.
Some signs played with slogans. ("Drop bass not bombs.") Others poked at public opinion. ("I love GMOs — please don't hurt me.") And a few thoughts went undeclared, based on calls for discretion.
"You can provoke," co-director John Ungerleider advised, "but not alienate."
"That's not an effective way to start a conversation," colleague Simon Norton added.
Dylan McAllister, 16, of Greensboro, hoped to get people talking with a two-part sign. The first featured a drawing of a fish and a monkey beneath a tall tree. The second bore the word "fair" surrounded by question marks.
Have a few yourself? The Hazen Union High School junior and newest student representative to the Vermont Board of Education explained the signs to be a unique critique of standardized testing that expects all students, regardless of differences, to reach the same heights the same way.
The 25th annual program — one of nine summer institutes that also include arts, Asian cultures, engineering, environmental science, information technology, mathematics and, new this year, entrepreneurship and "Farms, Food and Your Future" — offers 12 days of classes in politics, policy and public service.
Participants are working alongside fellow World Learning visitors from Germany, India, Iraq and Ireland and the states of Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts. Vermonters say they appreciate the diversity.
"There are so many cultures here," said Caitlyn Duff, 16, of Stowe.
And so much camaraderie, added Hawley Snipp, 17, from nearby Morrisville: "I come from a school that is very strong for gun rights. If you have a different opinion, you're ostracized."
At the institute, young people are limited only by the amount of space on which they can share. Florida student Fermin Mendoza recalled the first day when, asked for their state, national and world concerns, teens filled an entire chalkboard. That's why he painted his sign with the words, "Acknowledge our issues — we have many."
"One of the reasons they don't get solved," the 16-year-old concluded, "is people don't know about them."

AT&T to offer $49 iPhone
Though it will be an older model, users can get Apple's flagship smart phone -- and AT&T will get more data-hungry subscribers.
By Jeff Reeves, editor of InvestorPlace.com
If there's one thing Apple Inc. (AAPL) knows, it's the importance of staying on top of the personal-electronics game via constant refining. The iPhone is in its fourth incarnation since its launch, almost four years ago to the day, and a fifth version is expected soon. Consumers are already looking ahead to the iPad 2, even though the groundbreaking tablet PC is just 8 months old.
But it appears that someone at AT&T (T) didn't get the memo on this, despite the telecom's close ties with Apple on the iPhone. In a surprising move, AT&T has decided to push an already outdated Apple smart phone model with its latest scheme: a $49 iPhone 3GS, as long as customers sign a two-year contract. The deal starts Friday.
The move is puzzling on the surface, since most consumers won't be thrilled about the prospects of a nearly 2-year-old phone -- coupled with a contract that lasts until that phone almost turns 4. But a closer look at AT&T's books shows that it may be a very wise move in the long run -- both for consumers and the telecom giant.
AT&T had 92.8 million wireless subscribers at the end of September. While many horse-race the overall subscribers of AT&T and other wireless carriers like Sprint (S) and Verizon (VZ), it's important to acknowledge that the kind of subscriber is just as important as the raw numbers.
- Related Article: The top 3 ipad rivals
The idea of relying on an old phone (in tech years, anyway) may not appeal to the cutting-edge tech crowd. But the bottom line is that those folks will always be looking for the next big thing. There's no guarantee that even the next-generation iPhone won't be trounced by a flashy Android-powered smart phone.
Post continues after video:
But if AT&T can find some growth in less avid smart-phone users, folks who don't necessarily need to be ahead of the personal-electronics curve but still want a phone with decent apps, it could really see revenue growth.
- Related Article: 4 tech flops doomed in 2011
The key is that the $49 iPhone 3GS comes with a two-year service contract and data plan, and that data plan is where AT&T is seeing its biggest revenue growth.
- Related Article: Sony's plans to copy iPhone technology
There are certainly things that can backfire here. Critics of AT&T's network will malign the fact that rising data use has not only been filling up the telecom company's pockets but has also created bottlenecks on an antiquated network.
And with Verizon rumored to be launching an iPhone deal as soon as this year, AT&T may have a hard time replacing departing Apple fans with folks who want an older model. And let's not forget that the iPhone 3GS is already offered for $99 since the iPhone 4 debuted last June.
So technically this isn't a new plan to boost profits, just a $50 price cut on an established business model.
- Related Article: Will Verizon pay Apple to keep iPhone off Sprint?
Still, putting an iPhone in the hands of folks for just $49 could move the needle for AT&T, especially if those customers get hooked and upgrade data plans or their smart phones.

Publishers WeeklyMolly McFarlane flees from her vicious brother-in-law with her late sister's children in tow in this second entry of the Blood Rose trilogy. Without a real plan, she heads for the frontier, hoping for a new life but the train carrying them is derailed and, desperate, Molly marries an injured man in the hopes of getting the widow's benefits. However, Hank Wilkins doesn't die, and though he remembers nothing, still he takes Molly and the children back to his ranch, where he starts to fall in love with her. But when a tracker sent by her brother-in-law menaces her and Hank learns the truth about their marriage, Molly is desperate, with no one to turn to except the man she has deceived but also come to love. While there's a great deal of genre conventions in this historical romance: rough and tumble men, independent but vulnerable women and a frontier code of honor, still, Molly and Hank are a charming couple, despite the needlessly dramatic villains and the preposterous 'conspiracy' around them. For fans of Western romance who don't mind some suspension of disbelief.

Re: 2012-13 English Premier League/Cups Thread - BRAVE BRADFORD/KICKING KIDS
We were really poor in the first half today and it was really typical that a few days after the transfer window shuts, we don't get a striker in and Jermain Defoe gets injured. Tonight is a big game in the African cup of Nations, I just hope Togo lose so we get Adebayor back for the Newcastle game next Saturday, he will be needed.
Bale was real quality today. Popped up everywhere and was strolling past West Brom players with ease, he has really come on from even last season, his shots just seem to be so much more deadlier, always seem to hit the target. Cracking finish today. I also thought Holtby looked brilliant when he come on, think he had something like 95% pass completion and not afraid to put a foot in too, he will be an important player for us, always on the move and it's great to see.
Another clean sheet for Lloris too. I said before the weekend that if we win our next 3 games, we will be in 3rd place. I stand by that. We won today, we have Newcastle at home coming up next and then West Ham away. In that time Chelsea play against Man City away I believe and I honestly can't see them picking up three points there. I won't be counting my chickens though as anything can happen.

steaks in tampa florida
- l
- lestererik Dec 17, 2008 02:56 PM
going down to the superbowl- were are the best steaks in town
Check these recent articles out:
re: RibDog
The real problem with this type of article is that it's only talking about the steaks and not the rest of the accompaniments or anything else for that matter. At Bern's the steak is great but the sides are mediocre to awful. Some people adore the over-the- top decor and the dessert room and some think it's ridiculous. The wine list is very comprehensive and the kitchen tour is fun. Most serious foodies wouldn't go back after having gone once. Salt Rock Grill is very good. Spoto's in Dunedin has a good filet and strip but the service and the other food is spotty. That's the biggest problem in the Tampa Bay area--the restaurants are notoriously inconsistent as to quality.
Hands down as the locals will tell you it's Salt Rock Grille. I'm a huge foody and this place is to die for. If you really want to impress the hostess ask for Dale. He's been a server there for years. The ambiance is terrific and you can actually watch the grill as your steak cooks, I mean you'd have to leave your table, but you can see it. Just go there.
re: mattyk8787
Great post, really--- but you cracked me up...
"If you really want to impress the hostess ask for Dale"...
Impress the hostess...
Matty you're a frikkin' gem...
By far, Bern's is best. People like to put it down and say it ain't what it used to be. Maybe not, but I have been going since the early 70's (I don''t live there) Bern's has one of the top wine lists in the world, and will sell great wines by the ounce at same price as whole bottle. They dry age the prime beef and grill over charcoal. I have NEVER had to send a steak back. Make their own salad dressing.. Grow their own organic vegetables. Roast their own coffee. Make all sauces, desserts, etc. Import sour cream from NYC. Top notch service. Nowhere else in Tampa will you find such a steak. There are some good chains there, like Cap Grille and Fleming's and some lesser ones like Palm and Ruth's Chris. None of them, repeat, none of them serve USDA Prime dry aged beef and that makes all the difference in the world. by the way, I have eaten at those other chains, in Tampa. Bern's it is. Good luck in getting a table
My husband and I both love Charley's in Westshore. Not cheap, but really good. It's our celebratory "go-to" place.
Whatever place you choose, you would be wise to make the reservation now. I would not be surprised if there are some places that are already booked for superbowl time.
Steakman55 said it all. Bern's is the place to go for steaks in Tampa. Unfortunately, probably Bern's busiest weekend of the year is Superbowl weekend and the days after it. As RHNault said, you had better get a reservation now. There is a lot of showmanship at Bern's: the tour of the wine cellar, the tour of the kitchen, the oversized wine list with a medieval binding and cover, listing the largest wine collection in the United States, and last, but not least, the dessert room. Don't miss it. But aside from all the showmanship, these folks are serving prime, dry-aged steak that is better than anyone else's.
If you can't get in to Bern's, these boards have been full of plaudits for Council Oaks Steak and Seafood at the Seminole gambling establishment just east of downtown Tampa. Another place the people writing on these boards like is Malio's in downtown Tampa. I haven't been there, either.
Of the other steakhouses I have been to in Tampa, I prefer Shula's which is, of course, a chain, but a good one. I am less impressed with Charlie's and Ruth's Chris, but my perception is that women particularly like these two restaurants.
re: Orlando Vic
some good entertainment as well....
re: herbert1
That is Sideberns. But it is funny.
if you want to go to berns and don't have time for the whole show, just ask to go to the bar, order a steak sandwich (made from the prime trimmings) and still get exceptional service and then indulge in dessert. The sandwich should set you back $12 or so.
As much as I love Berns. And as sure as I am that all the other steak restaurants mentioned here are, cook your own steak, especially if you plan to watch the game. Now, if you're from out of town, fine, head to Berns, the Palm, Flemmings or Capitol Grille. Otherwise, though, nothing beats grilling or broiling your own steak. You can buy the beer you want, watch the game in the comfort of your own home and enjoy the experience more than you would heading out to one of these restuarants for steak and then beating a path to a sports bar to watch the game.
Don't know how to cook a steak, check these recipes out:

Thank God! Rohit Sharma replaces Yuvraj Singh
2007-08: Yuvraj Singh - The southpaw was never of Test class and he proved that again during the 2007-08 series. He was completely caught napping against the moving ball and his performance was nothing short of a complete disaster. He aggregated just 17 runs from 4 innings and managed to cross single digit only once in the process.
2011-12: Rohit Sharma - It is a massive opportunity for the immensely talented Rohit Sharma at the highest level. For years now, he has been seen as a prodigy but time has come for him to deliver on the big stage. Rohit has the technique and temperament and with Sachin's company in Mumbai Indians squad, he has the right mentor as well. Rohit was in great form during the just-concluded ODI series against the West Indies where he was awarded 'Man of the Series.' But, the big question remains. Will he get a chance in the playing XI?

Donation and fundraising
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) participated in the Green Power Hike for the fifth consecutive year on 2 February 2013. The annual walkathon aims to raise funds for environmental education and conservation programmes throughout Hong Kong. This year, the Airport Authority (AA) took the lead in forming the "Aviation and Airport Services Cup", encouraging members of the airport community to support this meaningful hike for charity and good health.
For the fourth year running, the AA supported WWF's Walk for Nature held at the Mai Po Nature Reserve. Around 25 AA staff and their families and friends joined the event and enjoyed the beautiful natural environment while viewing bird hides, fishponds, reed beds and shrimp ponds at close range. WWF's Walk for Nature is one of the community outreach events that the AA supports, aiming to raise public awareness in environmental conservation.
The AA continued to foster a green lifestyle among its staff by participating in the annual Walk for the Environment 2012 on 18 March. 22 AA staff and family members enjoyed healthy exercise while contributing to a meaningful cause by hiking through the five kilometre route from the Ma On Shan Country Park Barbecue Site to Sai Kung Po Lo Che.
The AA displayed its full support towards a green future by participating and raising funds in the 19th Green Power Hike on 14 January 2012. The annual event is part of Green Power's efforts to promote environmental education and conservation in Hong Kong. A total of HK$72,000 was raised by the AA during the event.

Geomatics technologies enable applications that are important in the daily lives of Canadians in such areas as natural resource management, infrastructure, defence, security and public safety, emergency management, transportation and public health.
The Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of Natural Resources Canada, made the announcement today at the University of Sherbrooke's Department of Applied Geomatics.

Feltmaking: Ancient Art or Hot New Craft?
Feltmaking – or Felting – has become quite popular lately, but did you know that it is a very old art? In fact, felt was the earliest known textile – predating any kind of weaving or spinning. There are several different techniques, and the Arts & Crafts Neighborhood has books to help with all of them.
Adventures in Herb Drying
As a gardener without a lot of time, I tend to grow a lot of things in containers and one of the things I like to grow is herbs. I think it's because smells are important to me, I like my environment to smell good. So this year I grew spearmint and lemon balm and got the idea of trying my hand at preserving their scents to enjoy throughout the winter.

The Lumenis Light-Sheer Duet Laser permanently reduces unwanted hair. Our machine is guaranteed to provide optimal hair removal for all skin types anywhere on the body. If you are looking for a permanent solution to your unwanted hair we can provide that for you. It will be determined at your consultation how many treatments will be recommended. Patients typically see desired results after a minimum 6-7 treatments.
The demand for Laser hair removal treatments is at an all-time high. This is not surprising, considering that traditional hair removal via electrolysis or waxing is painful and expensive. Light-based Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted facial and body hair, in fewer treatments and with more comfort than is possible with traditional procedures.
Our hair removal technology delivers specific wavelengths, with large spot sizes, comfortable treatments with excellent results for clients of all skin types, hair colors and hair thickness. Each treatment removes a progressive percentage of the hair until ultimately the skin becomes smooth and hair free.
How it works:
The laser is an invisible beam of light and a constant source of heat that penetrates the hair follicle, disabling and then destroying it at its root while preserving the surrounding skin. The procedure of removing unwanted hair is simply targeting the follicle and then directing the laser beam at its root. The Laser hair removall process begins as the laser beam finds the hair by first finding the melanin ( the dark color of the hair).
Exciting Speed & Amazing Comfort
High Speed LightSheer® Duet™ offers you exciting treatment speed and amazing comfort combined with the safety and results you desire and deserve.
The NEW High Speed LightSheer treatment option for hair removal is great news for both men and women, since backs and legs can now be treated comfortably in about 15-20 minutes, with no need for topical anesthetics or messy treatment gel.

Laser hair removal vs. waxing
In contrast, Laser hair removal can be less painful than waxing. The laser used in the process, instead of plucking the hair out from the root, uses pulsed light beams, or a laser, to target the hair follicle. Generally, only 6-8 treatments are needed for desired results.

The roller coaster ride that is Teen Mom just took another dip this week with more claims of abusive behavior. No, not Amber Portwood beating on her baby daddy. This time Dr. Drew Pinsky has called out April Baltierra for abusing her daughter, Catelynn Lowell.
Hey America, listen up. He just reminded parents everywhere that child abuse doesn't only mean marks on your child's backside.
Emotional abuse is damaging too, and it affects some 148,500 children every year. Want to put that in perspective?
We're in the midst of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And that number is more than three times more than the number of women who die from breast cancer annually in the United States.
The mom of Catelynn Lowell and stepmother to Tyler Baltierra, the couple who gave up daughter Carly for adoption more than a year ago, regularly calls her daughter a "bi--h," curses at her (beyond the b- word the f-bomb is frequently bleeped out by the folks at MTV), criticizes her choices for her child and more.
When Pinsky called her on it this week, she jumped to the defensive, claiming she regrets her actions. But as she hemmed and hawed over Pinsky's recommendations that she get into a 12-step program to deal with her own addictions (she's portrayed as a problem drinker on the show), just how she has abused her daughter takes another turn.
Emotional abuse is widely considered to be verbal.
If it's not physically leaving a mark on a child, than it must be screaming at them, right?
Not necessarily. Based on the markers of emotional abuse from the American Humane Society, it could just as easily be "exploiting or corrupting" your child -- presenting them with your poor role modeling and walking them down a path that's going to put them in danger in the long run. That includes being an alcoholic.
Also up there on the list? Ignoring your child. No, this doesn't meant refusing to play a 15th time of Monopoly and telling them to go do it "by yourself." You're a parent, not a martyr. But you have to be both physically and psychologically responsive to your kids. Something like "refusing to touch" your child is abuse.
Give them a hug once in awhile (something watchers of Teen Mom will see Amber Portwood almost never does -- least of all when her child is crying), and when you speak to them, call them by their name. Replacing their name with "b---h" doesn't count.
If this all sounds like common sense, then you're OK Mom and Dad. Unfortunately 148,500 children prove there are to many April Baltierras out there.
Do you think emotional abuse is taken seriously enough?
Image via Facebook
Catelynns mother makes me cringe. What a sad and pathetic individual. I suppose having children doesnt necessarily mean that you grow up.
Catelyn mom is the worst mother in the world.
I have often thought that it would have been beautiful for both Caitlynn and Carley to be adopted together. Caitlynn is a child just as much as Carly, and needs and deserves the right to be free from abuse.
April is such a jerk. No wonder the kids didn't want Carly to grow up around her.

Product Review: Arctic Zero "Ice Cream"
I had read all about this frozen dessert online and have been dying to try it for quite some time now. The things that most had me interested is that they were advertising it as having only 150 calories in the WHOLE PINT. Not only that, but I thought it was kind of cool that people were describing it as almost a frozen whey protein shake because it has 14g of whey in the pint. Did I mention that it's fat free and that there are no sugar alcohols? Who wouldn't want to try this stuff? My only issues on getting it were:
- I never go to Whole Foods, which is where they sell it, because I can never drag my mom there (definitely not by choice) and
- Buying it online you couldn't buy just one pint, you had to buy an entire case of at least 6 and that was too many and too much money for me.
So the other day my friend and I decide to venture over to Whole Foods, so happy to finally find somebody to go there with, and I remembered that that's where they sold it and jumped right on the opportunity. At this point, the most difficult thing was choosing which of their delicious flavors it comes in (chocolate, chocolate peanut butter, coffee, cookies + cream, mint chocolate chip, strawberry, vanilla maple and seasonally pumpkin spice!!) I went with chocolate peanut butter.
Since it was a hot day, by the time me and my Arctic Zero got home, it was half melted and I threw it right in the freezer and off to work I went. While I was there, the whole time I was thinking about how excited I finally was to try it when I got home. When I got there, I didn't even wait until I got changed and went straight for the freezer. I got it out and it looked a little funky because I had let it melt and then re-freeze. One of the things that I had read about it online was that it had a different consistency than ice cream and that it wasn't as creamy, but I totally disagree. I honestly thought that it was really good and had an awesome flavor. I ate a servings worth (1/2 cup) and I easily could've eaten the entire pint!
I would recommend you try this ASAP. Not only is it a delicious frozen treat, but you could also add it to your pre/post-workout shakes for an added boost in protein! Just think of all of the possibilities. So if you live anywhere near a Whole Foods, or another retailer, or even if you don't mind buying it online, I definitely think that this is worth your buck.

It's my first step-by-step recipe with pictures for each step! I was cruising the web the other morning and I stumbled across a site called Steph Chows and sat there and looked through all of her recipes because that's what I do. Well I came across one that I really would like to make my mom and altered it a bit. It was Whole Wheat Biscotti.
Did I mention what time it was when I randomly decided to start making this biscotti for her? Yeah, I had work at 5 pm and I wanted to workout so I figured I might as well get it out of the way. Makes sense, right?
Didn't think so.
You may be a bit weary to try this recipe because of the secret ingredient but it's good to have for a light dessert or for a snack if you're low on your protein count for the day. Don't knock it til you try it! :-) You could always freeze this and make it into an ice cream as well.

Went together with my daughter who is 17. We both feel the tour is reall great and the scenes are spectecular, much better than what you feel from pictures. A few stores on the way and the the show at Canyan are all very special. Anyway, we both feel the tour is a bit overpriced, but no other choice

Valdosta - Lowndes County and Valdosta are looking for ways to keep College kids in town after graduation.
Members of the chamber of commerce hope appealing to inventors in Lowndes, Brooks, Echols, and Lanier counties could help.
They want to link the inventors with Valdosta State University and Valdosta Technical College.
They hope by linking the two, they would offer support to the inventors while having the schools help develop the ideas into local businesses. "Hopefully it would be something that would create jobs as they move forward with it so it would provide jobs to the college and university graduates," says Jud Rackley with the Lowndes-Valdosta Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber officials hope the move could also help create higher paying jobs in the community.

Detroit's decline from contender to pretender in the American League Central continued yesterday afternoon as the Tigers wasted a ninth inning comeback against the first place White Sox and lost 6-to-4 in 11-innings at Comerica Park. The defeat left Detroit a season-high 9 games from the top spot in the Central after the White Sox took 3 out of 4 from the Tigers.
Chicago's division lead remains at a game-and-a-half over the Twins, who won at Tampa Bay. Detroit's All-Star closer Jose Valverde, who has struggled of late, suffered the loss yesterday when Mark Kotsay tripled home two runs in the top of the 11th. Kotsay also hit a two-run homer in the ninth.
Ryan Raburn got the Tigers back in the game with a 3-run shot with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. But Raburn couldn't produce the magic again in the bottom of the 11th when he grounded out with runners on first and second to end the game. The Tigers are at a major league worst 5-and-17 since the All-Star break.
Tonight, Detroit continues the home stand, opening a 3-game series against the Angels. The Cubs, who were idle Thursday, host the Reds this afternoon at Wrigley Field.

London - Those embarking on their 50s are about to experience the most expensive stage of their lives, a new study has revealed.
Experts calculated that people who turn 50 can still expect to be lumbered with hefty mortgage payments while also trying to support teenage children.
The cost of weddings, university fees, motoring costs, mobile phones and house deposits - all add up to the financial pressure.
A typical 50-something is required to spend a total of 1,560 pounds per month only to keep their heads above water, according to the study, by leading UK health and wellbeing mutual organisation Benenden Healthcare Society.
"Reaching 50 is traditionally supposed to be the start of a new lease on life as kids grow older and couples find more time to themselves," the Daily Mail quoted Marc Bell, Marketing and Business Strategy Director, as saying.
"The stark reality will prove an eye-opener as 50-somethings realise the truth is not so rose-tinted. Debt rarely goes away as we get older and the rising costs of mortgages, motoring and raising children will paint a pessimistic outlook on life.
"On entering our 50s, more of us are paying for our children's education and taking on more of their day-to-day costs such as mobile phone bills and going out - indicating that we're letting our children become more financially dependent on us.
'We're also more like to provide financial help for our loved ones and family members - suggesting that whilst it's the most expensive time of life, it's also the time when we might be most giving and generous.'
Parents contribute to their children's mobile phone bills and spending money in addition to running the home and car.
The study surveyed 2,000 homeowning Brits and found that hitting fifty coincided with an acceleration in spending.
A quarter find themselves paying towards their child's motoring costs like insurance and tyres and one in six have even bought their offspring a car.
Three in ten are presently helping to pay for their child's education and just under half pay for their child's mobile phone contract - both adding another 189 pounds to the monthly bill.
Youngsters will also expend another 100 pounds of their money each month on their social lives and receive 78 pounds pocket money - making them the wealthiest children of any age group of parents polled.
However, almost four in ten (37 per cent) of over 50s have given their children a lump sum within the last year - with one in ten helping to pay off debts, and one in five paying towards a holiday or a deposit for a house.
Other costs comprise weddings, university fees, DIY jobs and extensions.
It was also found that over-50s are twice as likely to provide financial help for their own or partner's parents - with 24 per cent giving out regular help compared to the other age groups.
But with such huge outlays one in ten over 50s ends the month in deficit and one in five struggle to support their immediate family.
"Life is getting tougher for the over 50s. The increased costs places extras pressures on the wallet, but it can also put greater pressure on mental wellbeing and the strength of relationships," Marc Bell said.
"In the midst of this greater expense, we should not forget to prioritise our personal health. It is perhaps the time of life when maintaining good health is most vital - therefore ensuring a secure future for our family.
"Whilst being in your 50s can be the most expensive time of life, not having safeguards such as life cover could end up leaving loved ones to pick up the pieces and to try and deal with huge financial burdens," Marc Bell added.

Experimental and theoretical studies of oxycarbenes: Their rearrangements, homolysis and intermolecular reactions with carbon disulfide
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
John Warkentin
The first portion of this research focuses on some of the intramolecular chemistry of oxy- and dioxycarbenes. Carbenes belonging to this group are known to fragment to radicals, both in gas and in solution phases. The computational work presented here identifies the homolysis from the singlet ground state as a viable pathway for this fragmentation. The study then concentrates on the mechanism for the homolysis of these singlet carbenes and the possibility that this apparently-simple fragmentation could involve a transition state. In accordance with models, such as Valence Bond Configuration Mixing (VBCM), transition states involving changes in bonding are said to result from destabilization due to the change from one stable ground state electronic configuration to another. The results indicated that the homolysis has an unusual conformational dependence that cannot be explained by a first approximation of the VBCM model, and is in fact attributable to a mismatch in the electronic structures of the states involved. The second portion of this work focuses on expanding the chemistry of dioxycarbenes with thiocarbonyl compounds. To this end the reaction of dimethoxycarbene with carbon disulfide (CS2 ) is examined both experimentally and computationally. The reaction gave a surprisingly complicated product, which suggested the participation of zwitterionic, dipolar and neutral intermediates. The neutral thiocarbonyl intermediates are apparently quite reactive and undergo subsequent nucleophilic attacks by dimethoxycarbene. Initial results for the reaction of diphenoxycarbene with carbon disulfide showed diphenyl thionocarbonate as the only CS2 -derived product, emphasizing the influence that exchangeable carbene substituents have on the chemistry of the zwitterionic intermediates. Dihydroxycarbene was used to model the interactions of dioxycarbenes with CS2 . The theoretical results indicate that dioxycarbenes do not undergo concerted cycloadditions to a carbon-sulfur double bond, but instead prefer nucleophilic attack at carbon to form zwitterionic intermediates, or electrophilic attack at sulfur to form ylides with an unexpected twisted geometry. Direct nucleophilic attack at carbon has also been observed computationally by previous workers for the reaction of dihydroxycarbene with carbon dioxide. These results emphasize the differences between cumulated systems and simple carbonyl systems studied in the past. Both the zwitterionic and ylide intermediates have available reaction pathways to thionocarboxylic acid (HOCSOH) and carbon monosulfide, however it was not possible to distinguish a preferred route from these results.

My husband and I decided to go back to the Casablanca Inn after visiting one year for one of our anniversaries. Our first experience there was wonderful. The breakfast was outstanding, someone actually took our order, unlike our second visit, which was more continental style (disappointing indeed, there was no variety). Our biggest complaint is that we decided for our honeymoon we would rent room #7, there most expensive room. What drew my husband to this room (and this is no joke) was that the image showed that there was a heart shaped bathtub. He seriously had his heart set on this bathtub as he always said we would find a place with one. Once we arrived we realized that they changed the room. The room was really nice, it seemed to have been updated. However, our last visit there was in a very nice room as well and it was over $100 cheaper... My point is, we would have chosen another, much more affordable room had we known there was no heart shaped bathtub. Overall I recommend this place, I would just like to say that they need to update there website's room photos so you know exactly what you are paying for!!!

Nice room but couldn't get the air conditioner to work which caused a restless night. Room 19 was noisy from traffic on back street. Parking is about a block away from hotel in the corner of a parking lot on gravel. Tight spots when you're driving a large truck. And you have to drive down the small tight streets - little stressful. Breakfast was just ok. They did not have everything out at 8:15. Had to ask for milk & glasses. Outside sitting area is on street and is noisy. There was a table we could have sat at in the dinning area but it had cardboard boxes on it. Next time we look for a B&B away from the main area.

If just want a breathtaking view ; this is the place to stay. The Casablanca Inn is centrally located. The evening bar is great however, they serve only drinks and I noticed many customers asking for appetizers. The service was exceptional and wait staff very friendly. The innkeepers are not on location and you can tell. The cleanliness of the room was not acceptable and the linens were worn and I wasn't sure the sheets were clean. The room pictured was not in the same condition. The bedding was less than desirable. I slept on the chair and didn't shower. We will return to St. Augustine, however, not to the Casablanca.

My husband and I stayed here back in August. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved our room and the martini bar was fun. Loved the breakfast and the morning staff. We have booked our stay for December a little X-mas gift to ourselves.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of staying here the night of my birthday on our way to Fort Lauderdale. The check-in was gracious, simple, and informative. We only had a few hours of daylight to take in the sights, but we were able to see a good portion of the city because of the recommendations from the front desk. Sleeping was wonderful and the breakfast right outside of our door was so perfect. The views during breakfast were well worth the entire price of the stay. We can not wait to come back.

This was the first time staying at Casablanca the staff were excellent even in the bar willing to do anything we needed. We had not planned on staying we were having a drink and inquired about rooms we decided to stay with only the clothes we wore but Amanda the desk clerk was so special to give us bathroom essentials and snacks for my husband who is diabetic the breakfast was great and the staff again was great we will stay again thanks to the whole staff the chef even came out and asked if everything was ok the room was romantic we would of liked front balcony but wasn't available. Again thank you so much Dave and Debbie Rich Ocala fl

Back on my 72nd Birthday (5/19/12) we had Room 8 for several days with a beautiful 2nd floor Bay View of boats coming & going while relaxing in the nice big bed, without leaving it while sipping cool drink from mini-bar. So, while in St Augustine again to see Brian Wilson & Band on 10/3/13 for live concert we've reserved the other upstairs Bay View room (#10) with 1940's large porch off room so to enjoy it all again..from tasty drink on lower front porch bar to that really delicious breakfast. Life is Good at any age if you stay at Casablanca Inn!

Love this B&B for a romantic getaway. Upon arriving we were greeted with a attentive staff. Can not get enough of the patio seating, in my opinion some of the best seating in st.augustine's bay front! Rooms are cozy and intimate. My only problem with our last few visits is the male bartenders seem to have a attitude, they certainly do not make you feel welcome in the bar area.

My husband and I have been a guest at this historic bed and breakfast going on 6 years in a row. I look forward to this getaway every year. The rooms are old, the house is old. If you like that charm you will love this place. The breakfast is great! I enjoy the mimosa in the morning. The afternoon snacks have been really good, but it depends on the day. We love sitting in the Tini Martini Bar over looking the bay while enjoying a drink. If you want brand new contemporary room, this is probably not the place for you. If you like historic looking homes (not in perfect condition), wonderful food, great drinks and an amazing view, this is the B&B for you.

We stay at the Casa Blanca often and it is always great. We particularly like the Secret Garden rooms because they are nicely tucked away for a bit of extra privacy and they have kitchenettes! The staff is always very helpful and it is evident that they take pride in the inn.

Title: A Game of Equals
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: mature. Warnings for sexual content and violence. character death.
Pairing(s): River/Eleventh Doctor; background Amy/Rory, Mickey/Martha. Nine/Rose UST.
Summary: AU. He's a seasoned double-o with a penchant for deep blue aston martins and high-tech screwdrivers. She's a former jewel thief imprisoned for a murder she says she didn't commit. When she escapes from prison to help him track down the stolen crown jewels, they'll find they have a lot more in common than expected.
Wordcount: 94k total.
My thoughts: I read it some time ago and I loved it. the plot is really good and the James Bond AU idea is just brilliant. When you read it you just think: this character could be great as…and then the character is it (okay I don't think I get what I wanted to express myself). There is much angst and it's not really funny. But a great and fast story full of action, friendship and bullets.

Day is April 22 but going green year round makes environmental sense. Worried
that being earth-friendly means growing your own food or going solar? Put aside
that all-or-nothing way of thinking and read on for easy tips on going green,
right in your own home.
Not too hot, Not too cold: Watching your
thermostat is an easy way of conserving energy. More than half of a home's
energy use is for heating or cooling. In the colder months, commit to shaving
the temperature a few notches down from 68 degrees for big savings. Small tricks
like adding a sweater for warmth and keeping your furnace filter clean can help.
In the hotter months, use fans instead of air conditioners when you can and be
sure to switch off the AC when you're not at home.
Green Appliances: Did you know appliances
older than ten years are energy hogs? Upgrade to "Energy Star" appliances which
use up to 50 percent less energy than their older counterparts. According to
the Energy Star site, if just one in 10 homes used energy-efficient appliances,
it would be equivalent to planting 1.7 million new acres of trees. Wow!
Bright Bulb: Compact Fluorescent
Light bulbs (CFLs) use 66 percent less energy than a standard bulb and last up
to 10 times longer. Time to see the light!
Be Water Smart: Conserve this
crucial resource with simple steps such as watering lawns every other day,
running dishwashers only when full and shutting off the water while brushing
your teeth. And consider conservation products such as low-flush toilets and
aerators on all household faucets.
Avoid Plastics: Break that bottled
water habit, which adds up to billions of plastic bottles in landfills, by
using a reusable BPA-free water bottle. Say no to plastic grocery bags and yes
to reusable cloth bags. Tired of needing an endless supply of zip lock baggies
to send your kids to school with lunch? Look for reusable packaging online.
Clean Green: Say good-bye to
harsh chemical cleaners and hello to the dozens of natural, earth-friendly
cleaners now on the market. Using toxic chemicals to "clean" your home, clothes
and bodies just doesn't make sense.
Garden Green: Educate yourself
about natural, chemical-free gardening and lawn products. A thick, weed-free
lawn doused with chemicals is not a thing of beauty.
Earth Eats: Eating organic and
local foods helps reduce the amount of chemicals you consume and the amounts of
chemicals and fuels required to produce your food. Support local farmers'
markets and local retailers when you can. Driving to the mall costs you money
and your local retailers needed business.

That's way the bsetest answer so far!

It can be easy to become discouraged about all the partisanship, cynicism and self-interest that surround our policy debates. Meanwhile, news outlets give never-ending attention to the world's madness, its violence, the capriciousness of fate. All of us are vulnerable to be in the wrong place, wrong time.
Then along comes events that remind us of the inherent goodness of most people. Occasions that show individuals can set aside differences in favor of a common goal. Moments that instruct us that the horrors and arguments spit forth by the 24-hour news cycle are the exception, the common decency of people the norm.
Such an event was the construction and dedication at Riverside Park in New London of Emilie's Shady Spot playground, built as a living memorial to Emilie Parker, one of the 20 first-graders killed along with six adult educators during the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012.
It is the 14th playground that the New Jersey Firefighters Benevolent Association has completed with local help since it began its Sandy Ground Project: Where Angels Play. Eventually the association plans to build 26 playgrounds to memorialize all the victims of that terrible day. Communities selected for the playgrounds agree to raise money for playgrounds in other communities.
Planners design and locate the play areas to reflect the personality of the child or educator honored. In Emilie's case designers selected the shady locale of Riverside Park, because Emilie sought the shade when playing outside. Its scheme of pink, blue and black reflect the color combinations she liked.
The horror of that December day was not the last word. A confused, mentally ill and angry young man destroyed lives, and then took his own, but he could not destroy memories. The hate manifested that day did not prevail. On this and the other playgrounds, children, innocent and blithely unaware, will have fun in the ways only children can. Their parents will be reminded not only of innocence cut short, but also of a spirit that lives on in the laughter of boys and girls.
"I hope that you all can feel that sweet spirit and be able to see it in the light of the children's eyes as they play," said Emilie's mom, Alissa Parker, speaking at Sunday's dedication.
"Stop focusing on yourself and start looking toward other people," added Emilie's dad, Robbie Parker. "It's charity which binds us together."

Duck Dynasty Season Three DVD Set. Get your beard on.
Join the Robertson family for all the frog-hunting, beaver dam-exploding, bad wine-making fun you can handle! With its colorful cast of characters (there aren't many like Si) and down-home charm, "Duck Dynasty" became one of A&E's surprise hits.
Dressed in camouflage and bandanas, this crew shows the world how a family can work together and be successful at the same time. DVD Set includes all 13 episodes of the third season, plus 25 minutes of bonus never-before-seen footage. 309 min. run time.
