Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is really bad starting of with the principal. their were so many substitutes and they even had teachers quitting in the middle of the school year, they had substitutes almost all year long. students didnt achieve much this year. i feel bad for all those parents who dont take the time to go and complain about the bad circumstances going on with the school of their children. i would like a good investigation to be done at this school enough said!
this school is HORRIBLE . my daughter has been getting bullied recently. the principal nor staff would help out ! she has been getting more into therapy. she has social anxiety which makes it worse. she comes home crying almost everyday. she has been scared of coming to school. her life has been turned upside down ever since she moved to this school
Both My kids go to ECF and Mrs Colon Is the rudest teacher I have ever met.. She Emberesses the students and makes them cry. I dont see how anyone can think she is great. However Mrs Graves is a great teacher and she knws how to treat and teach our children. You teach your children to be kind and respect other ppl and they go to school and meet a person who doesn't knw how to treat others!!! You don't yell at a child or raise your voice and make them feel worth less. Anyone in there right mind Knws that the biggest impact in a child is there parents and teacher who see them every or 5 days out of the week. If just one person makes them feel horrible that could make the child not want to go to school. Its like having a bully just its a teacher.
My daughter has been in school at ECF for three years and continues to thrive. The teacher, Ms. Colon she had for 5th grade as well as for this upcoming school year, has been phenomenal. Granted, there are things that can be changed at any school, and much success of the student also starts at home with the parent(s) being involved in the child's education. Bloggers can rant and rave about the school, but education is a two way street! Not all education is completed within the brick and mortar environment. So parents, get involved!!!
E.C.F. School is a Performing Plus School with extraordinary students and an outstanding Principal, Dr. Evangeline Diaz. The students are great well mannered and very intelligent. The teachers do an extremely well in there lessons and preparation. My child is in the Middle School area (7th&8th) and his 5 teachers are open, friendly and highly qualified. His science teacher , Ms. Saudat Balogun, is a certified Microbiologist. There are several teachers that strive to get higher and higher degrees in the field of teaching. I was blown away at the performance of this school and have notice gigantic improvements over the years. I don't know who would think otherwise. This school's administrators as well was the students who work soooo hard, absolutely deserve their performing plus++ title!!! Thunderbirds soar!!!!!!!!!
i am a parent of students of my own at eliseo felix and they have been there for 3 years now and my children do have I.E.P's and if you are envolved with your kids as i am and yes i have 3, 2 still at this school, it does get tiring but between the teachers and the special services and lets not forget the princible dr. diaz.. i could not have of found a better school. i did however have problems with the 7th grade teachers but with all the others grades and the support of the special ed teachers and especially dr.diaz my children have grown and grown. be involved very involved during and after school and then i dont thin you can say what was posted on a post i read... i can honestly say i love this school!
this is one of the best school!
the students for class is way off the rating. many of the classes have over 25 students, pricipal needs more people skill. special needs students are not getting proper service or have not been tested in the past 2 years. teacher have been strugling with supplies. i am suprise that parents dont say anything or bring their concerns to the school or district.
There may be too much focus on special needs children at this school, especially if your child is an English Language Learner. All documents are printed in Spanish as well as English and the teachers bend over backwards to help these students succeed. So, if your student does not require special needs and/or speaks English and wants to succeed, you may want to look elsewhere. Low on extracurricular activities and parent involvement.
Pioneer School is a good school. The teachers and staff work hard and truly put kids first. There is a after school homework club and tutoring program that runs almost all year.
My child has been in this school district for 1 1/2 school years. Before we moved to Arizona she was in one of the top schools in Washington State. She tested well past her grade level, through the next grade and beyond. Since moving here, I have noticed a big drop in her overall knowledge gain. She tested barely above average in her grade level in the state tests last year. The teachers in Avondale Elementary are all very caring and knowledgeable people, but they are dealing with a large majority of students/parents who don't seem to care about the education. My daughter went from caring and wanting to succeed to having an 'I don't care' attitude. I think this is primarily to fit in with the other students. I would't say all the students fit that mold, I am sure they don't, but I believe the majority does.
The bilingual teacher's work so much, they deserve alot of credit.

My "main" is a hunter and I'm able to use him effectively in all 3 arena brackets. I'm a survival/marksmen hybrid and I feel like I have all of the tools I need to keep opponents out of my deadzone--concussive shot, traps (with entrapment), scatter shot, counter attack, and a PvP trinket. That's a lot of different utilities that when used properly usually keep me out of trouble; however, I certainly need to stay on my toes.
I will admit that the arena design can be extremely frustrating at times. The columns in Nagrand can pose huge line of sight problems for me if a caster wants to engage in a game of cat and mouse. And, fighting in Blade's Edge is difficult because the bridge takes away almost all of my lateral movement forcing me into jousting matches as opposed to running away and jump-shooting.
My biggest problem, which I don't think has been addressed, is lack of mana. I recently tweaked my spec to give myself 5/5 points in Efficiency and even with that and Aspect of Viper, I almost always run out of mana during 5v5 matches and long 3v3 matches. And, with opponent's hit points and resilience ratings constantly increasing, I fear that mana regen is going to be an even bigger issue than it is already. My character is completely geared with arena/bg gear which provides very little intellect and no mana per five stats. I would hate to have sacrifice agility and crit gems for intellect and mana gems--it would be a shame to nerf my DPS in that way. It sounds like Blizzard is buffing Aspect of the Viper next patch, so maybe that will help, but I'm not optimistic.

Coyotes are here to stay
- Details

If you venture outdoors or talk to those who do chances are you have heard of coyotes infiltrating the area lately. In fact, they have been here for many years. A few weeks ago, a local farmer, Larry Carr, had his picture in the paper with a coyote he took. In fact, he has killed two that I know of this year. A number of hunters and landowners have taken coyotes this season. In a recent hunt near NSWC a group of hunters took a half dozen coyotes before lunch and missed a few more! Furthermore, a local taxidermist just told me that he heard of a big coyote taken near Hopyard, another one near Port Royal and another in the Fairview Beach area in the last few weeks. In the Igo area a landowner had a huge one pictured on his game camera late at night. We have heard them near our place on the western side of the country recently as well. It seems that not only are they here to stay but they are becoming very common.
Here are some quick facts about coyotes in Virginia:
Their front paw print is roughly 2.5 inches from front to back.
They will eat anything to include garbage, fresh meat, road kill, or kill their food to include anything they can take down from fawns to mice.
They walk leaving tracks in a line not side by side like a deer.
While I don't want to alarm readers, coyotes that are used to humans, human scent or seeing humans could potentially attack an unattended toddler. No one leaves a baby unattended but if you live in an area where coyotes are present don't even consider it!
Residents have complained of small dogs or cats being attacked and even carried off but it is not common.
Coyotes can scale or leap fences less than seven feet high. However, they will take the easiest route and easiest food available.
Pups are usually born between March and May numbering from three to 12.
They prefer open pasture to dense woods but thrive anywhere, including residential areas.
They can take livestock such as chickens and even kids (baby goats), goats and newborn calves
Males tend to be larger at 35-45 pounds but may weigh up to 60 pounds and look even larger with a winter coat fluffed up. Females tend to be 30-40 pounds.
They are known to roam great distances when hungry and home ranges vary, but several square miles are not unusual and depend on the abundance of food. So, if you do not see a coyote for a few days it is likely still in the area but not in your specific neighborhood.
Biologists state that killing them rarely eliminates or reduces the population much but simply changes the age distribution. One thing you can do is stop the particular coyote that has figured out how to get in your chicken coop or work its way into your stock. They learn fast about certain prey animals and keep coming back until that source is exhausted or something happens to them.
They may be hunted or shot year around except Sundays.
For those wishing to hunt coyotes there are a few tips I can share with you after having killed a few out West myself and after talking to a few professional coyote hunters.
A rifle of smaller caliber such as a .223, 220 Swift, .243, or the like is perfect for them and legal here. However, use common sense. If houses are nearby don't use a rifle. A .17 HMR with head shots only will do the job too but why not be a little more humane? Shotguns at close range loaded with buckshot like Hevi-Shot's "Dead Coyote" is perfect but #1 buck in a shotgun is also a good load. NO HIGH POWERED RIFLES FOR FOXES OR OTHER PREDATORS!
Electronic calls and spotlights (preferably outside of deer season) are permitted.
Mouth calls that mimic a squealing rabbit are really good to use. Primos makes a Ki-Yi call that works well for coyotes and foxes.
Call from a hidden position but if you can hunt with partner face opposite directions. Coyotes and foxes like to circle downwind and check out the call sometimes. Other times they will simply charge in. I have killed foxes from a treestand with hopes of keeping my scent above noses. I have yet to try a coyote that way but it may work.
When in Texas hunting with a professional predator caller, he had us sit on a truck box facing opposite ways while he rotated a red lens light around 360 degrees as he called every few minutes. I was astounded how many coyotes came to the call and how fast they ran towards us. I had one less than 50 yards before I could get on it and pull the trigger despite initially seeing it at over 100 yards.
Since deer season has been tough it may be time to have some new experiences and thin the population out some or at least reduce the number of wise 'yotes out there. Some people find it fun to predator hunt. Keep safety in mind and know what lies in the directions you intend to shoot long before you do so.

Our guest blogger today is Michelle L. McCarthy. She emails me with her real name, so I'm not sure what name she uses on the blog. I've been so focused on my brother that I totally forgot this weekend was July 4th. I'm glad Michelle didn't forget! I appreciate so much everyone pitching in to help this week. I have several blogs that I didn't get to use but I will try to intersperse them in during the next few weeks. My brother is still critical and in ICU. They couldn't take out the ventilator so now he's on a feeding tube. On that cheerful note, here's Michelle's July 4th blog:
With the upcoming 4th of July holiday, do you have big plans? Do you celebrate in a traditional way with family and friends or splurge and travel out of town to experience new things?
When I was growing up (ok, and into adulthood), every holiday was a reason for the family to get together and celebrate! We would all bring food, drinks, games and movies to one person's house and enjoy the socializing. It was a time for the adults to catch up and the kids to run and play!
Sometimes for the 4th of July, we'd celebrate with a picnic in the park. We'd play some volleyball, softball, horse shoes, or putt putt, and then wait until dusk for the downtown fireworks. Other times, we'd go to my great-uncle's house with a pond. This was no little gathering either! My grandpa's siblings, their kids, and their kids, and sometimes their kids! I'm talking close to 100 people here! Each "family" would pitch in a category (meat, vegetable, dessert, etc.) The day would be enjoyed by feasting, swimming, competition volleyball-with the elders typically "schooling" the young uns, followed by driving into town and watching fireworks!
Each city seems to have something to tout as it's "reason" why their fireworks or festivities are the best. In Indianapolis (sorry, that's all I can speak of with familiarity), they have a canal that sets up vendors along the White River. They have festivities all day and then fireworks at night. There is also Symphony on the Prairie that celebrates veterans by playing the "theme" to each branch of the service with all members (past or present) to rise during their song, capping it off with the 1812 Overture signaling the beginning of the fireworks! It is overwhelming!
I'm relatively new to Georgia, so I'm not familiar with the "greats" that are offered locally. Last year I went to Mall of Georgia and was VERY disappointed. The fireworks lasted less than 15 minutes! It was NOT worth the wait! This was the first year that I took my little guy to see "big" fireworks.
What have you experienced in Georgia that you would consider amazing?! We're looking for something new to do this year! Please share your family experiences and what you plan to do this year to celebrate!

Michelle, we use do a lot of the same things you mentioned and have many fond memories as a child of this day being the next thing to Christmas. Firework shows in GA use to be something we were very proud of here in the south and it seems as the years go by the fireworks have started to fizzle. Not sure if it's the towns budgets cuts or what but none the less most only last for 10-20 mins at best which are really just enought to tick you off. These past two years, we have some close friends that live at Jackson Lake in Covington and they invited us down for BBQ and to watch the show. I figured we were only going to see some bottle rockets and a few other things being shot by individuals on the water and let me tell you, I was shocked. It had barely gotten dark and suddenly it was like the star spangled banner being sang but only through all the fireworks going through the air and boats lined up side by side cruising the lake for the many shows. A boat parade with all the boats decorated in lights cruised in front of their house and the fireworks went on until nearly two in the morning and these were not the cheap little fireworks, these things were something you would go see at a national event. Hours and hours of fireworks never ending with only clapping from all the people in between viewing from their boats and houses on the lake. I was taken back to say the least. I have NEVER seen such as display in all my years of living and my children were just speachless. This will be our third year going there and I wouldn't waste my time to go anywhere else than there on the 4th. I called her when I read your blog to ask about places for the public and she said there were numerous beaches with grills that anyone can enjoy the show from and best of all, it's FREE. Google Jackson Lake in GA, as there's one in Texas and it will give you a lot more details. She said there is several picnic areas owned by GA Power and are free for alls for those who come. If you need more info, I'll be glad to get it for you but I must say if you take the chance this year and venture out there, you won't be disappointed to say the least. Just be prepared for many hours of fireworks and friendly people having a blast.

Our family will be doing the Peachtree together (well, not exactly "together", as my husband and son will finish FAR ahead off me and my daughter!). Then we'll run over and catch the Dunwoody 4th of July parade (150 entries, including three bands and a wide variety of fun neighborhood floats and marchers), and then we'll have a few friends over for lunch. In the evening, we'll go to our favorite secret place to enjoy an unobstructed and unclaustrophobic view of the Lenox fireworks, while listening to the soundtrack on the radio.
A few years ago, we were in Philadelphia just after the 4th — fascinating! While they have costumed folks reenacting all the time, it was a definite thrill to hear the Declaration "announced" in the town square on the anniversary of the day it was formally announced!
My daughter was in Europe on an orchestral tour two years ago, and was in France on July 4th. The organizers were so thoughtful, and organized fireworks for the Americans — she said that almost every kid in the group had tears in their eyes when their hosts brought them out for the surprise fireworks!
Happy 4th, everyone!
And then we'll collapse . . . !

Favorite fireworks: The Mall in D.C. — we did that as family one year — wow! — and I remember sitting on the banks off the Potomac on the Virginia side watching the D.C. fireworks as a little girl. My husband remembers flying into NYC one July 4th evening, and flying down the Hudson River OVER the fireworks around 9 pm — he said it was the most beautiful thing he's ever seen on July 4th — many, many fireworks viewed from overhead!!

Happy 4th everyone! You definitely need to go to the fireworks show at LENOX! It is awesome! I know there is a crowd…but there are a lot of spots where you can sit that are close enough to see without being in the huge masses. We have been to most of the local shows over the years, and the one at Lenox is really our favorite. Very much worth the trouble of going!

One thing that was a family favorite of ours was the huge Salute 2 America parade in downtown Atlanta. We went for many years…before I had kids I would take other people's kids just to get to go and see it. Then they went and cancelled it last year. I need to go and see a good parade this year…any suggestions on where I might find one around Atlanta?

We go to the fireworks display in Dillard, GA straight up I-985. It's a pretty good show. Everyone just pulls onto the grass off of the main highway and sits outside their cars to watch.
Our 4th consists of a Christmas in Dec family reunion with my mom's side of the family. Instead of giving each other presents, we take up a collection then one family takes the money and finds worthy causes to donate anonymously to throughout the year. The next year when we gather, that family reports on what lives the money touched. None of us need the little presents we would have bought for each other and our gathered money makes a real difference in the lives of others.

I'm running (and walking) the Peachtree for the first time in my 39 years. I've always wanted to, but been too much in party mode to deal with it, so this year I'm finally doing it! Funny -we may all pass each other, and we won't have a clue!
We head down to a family BBQ and birthday celebration with a pool. This year after wearing the kids out there, we're headed home, depositing them with a trusted sitter and heading to a grown-up 4th party. Can't wait!
Go to wsbtv.com-I saw something about Salute to America the other day. Maybe they're doing it again this year?

Lake Jackson sounds like it could be a lot of fun!! I am pretty sure we'll be grilling with some neighbors and spending time at the pool. I live out around Dacula and wish there was something closer!

I ended up going to Auburn and they were pretty good! I think next year I might try to plan a weekend at Lake Jackson! That sounds like a wonderful place!

Tips for Choosing the Best Beers for a Party, Plus 5 Favorite Picks
Tapped In
Light up the tiki torches and get those hot dogs marinating—it's backyard party season, people! You might have a wraparound porch (and if you do, I'm jealous) or a city apartment with a fire escape, but whatever your entertaining situation, you're going to want to buy beer before your friends come over.
Here's how I decide what beers I'm serving at my parties and some of my favorite recommendations.
1. Choose low ABV "session beers."
Whether it's summer or winter, when I'm hosting a shindig, I make sure whatever I'm putting out for mass consumption has a fairly low ABV, hovering in the 5% range. You could call these "session beers"—brews that are flavorful but still low-alcohol enough that you won't get embarrassingly loopy after drinking a bunch of them over a long period of time.
Though some will nitpick that a true session beer should never rise above 5% ABV, I play a little more loosely with the definition and just check my ABV percentages before buying stuff that I already know tastes great. "Sessionable" is a good watchword to note when choosing beers for lazing about the backyard, sitting by the pool, tailgating, or just hanging out drinking for an afternoon.
2. Buy good beer, but don't spend a bundle.
And while I love my friends dearly and would never buy them cheap swill, I do take into consideration whether I'll be paying $10 or more for a 4-pack of bottles, or the same amount for a sixer. Big parties are not the time to bust out my $20 750-ml bottles of The Bruery's Sour in the Rye that only a few people will get to enjoy; when buying in volume, I'm definitely thinking about bang for my buck.
5 Favorite Beers for a Party
Cans are always surefire winners because they chill quickly and don't make me put in an extra bicep workout when I drag the empties to the curb for recycling. Founder's All Day IPA (4.7% ABV) is the poster child for an all-around great session beer—I'm forever grateful that they're putting this aromatic but not-too-bitter IPA in cans, and even happier that they're selling them in packs of 15. All Day IPAs all around!
I'm also a fan of the Sixpoint lineup, especially their smooth Sweet Action cream ale (5.2% ABV). Sixpoint's cans only come four to a box, but each holds a generous 16 ounces, so I'll let it slide.
For friends who want that classic, crisp old-timey beer flavor, I direct them to Victory Prima Pils (5.3% ABV)—it's got that clean, wheaty flavor so many of us associate with the beers we cut our teeth on, so to speak, accented by grassy hops for modern craft beer palates. (OK, OK, I've been known to throw a few IC Lights into the mix too. I'm a Yinzer, what can I say?)
But not everyone likes hops, so I take care of my malt-minded friends with Abita Turbodog (5.6% ABV). Brown ales and lagers usually run higher in ABV than their paler counterparts, but this one strikes a great balance of caramel and toffee flavors with a light-bodied drinkability.
And because it's fun to have a fruity drink in the mix, I always have a few six-packs of Shiner Ruby Redbird (4% ABV) on hand. Drinking one of these always makes me think of good times in the sweaty Austin sun, and its grapefruit-and-ginger palate appeases those who "don't really like beer." (To which I say, we just can't be friends anymore—kidding!)
Now that you've stocked your fridge and set out the koozie bowl, just let me know what time I should show up. What beers do you like to have on hand at your parties?

We have a chest freezer that's modified to hold three kegs, so we always have a hoppy beer or two from a local brewery on tap and PBR for those who can't handle the hops. Seems to work perfectly.
Hi from a fellow Yinzer!
Shiner Ruby Redbird is my absolute favorite go-to summer beer for parties! I'd also suggest Bell's Oberon and Full Pint White Lightning as a few other reasonably low-ABV choices that seem to be crowd-pleasers.
This blonde ale is one of my new favorites, from an NJ brewery relatively local to me: http://www.riverhorse.com/html/liquid_details_seasonal.php?Summer-Blonde-American-Blonde-Ale-2
Another one from NJ that was nearly as good - Farmhouse Summer Ale: http://flyingfish.com/beers/seasonals.html
^^ I'd like to come to a get together of yours! ^^
I love All Day IPA and it will be my go to beer this summer I have a feeling though a few local breweries in Ohio have session IPAs I am also on the hunt for.
What about for the wheat beer fans who hate hops? We're stuck with PBR? Blech
Buy the $15.99 to $24.99, 30-paks and skip the above that aren't available to most, we've never seen or never heard of
Grossvater, these beers are fairly easy to find at any place that sells decent craft beer in the eastern half of the country. Shiner and Abita practically has national distribution, while Founders, Victory and Sixpoint are widely available almost anywhere on the east coast.
You miss the real point I attempted to state, Josh; I'm not going to pay those prices for beer
You might think it great tasting stuff, but I don't have the dosh for your types of beer, nor the refined palette to appreciate them
Actually, @Grossvater, you seem to be in the minority here--most folks reading this article know at least some of these beers.
I'm a hoppy gal myself, so a beautiful crisp IPA is all I want in the summer--think Victory Dirt Wolf, Ithaca Flower Power, or Bell's Two-Hearted. My husband and his buddy brew together, though, so we usually have two beers on tap at our friends' house. Perfect for lazy grill sessions.
Great post! If you live in the LA area, Eagle Rock Brewery is a great value when you get a pony keg of Populist (a bit boozier at 7%). It is bright and very drinkable even for those not super into craft beer. The keg in particular has proven to be very economical (especially compared to the bottles of it!).
Swoon over All Day IPA and Oberon in the summer. Luckily I live in the land of the best beer, Kalamazoo!
Grab a case of Belgian white ales and a case of IPA's (craft brewed, if possible) and you can't miss. Both are light, crisp and immensely refreshing during hot summer days (or nights).
So, why bother to comment at all?
Hey dbokie, there are plenty of awesome wheat beers and depending where you are there are probably some great ones in cans too
Quick note on the sixpoint format - they've just shifted their main line from 4 pack pounder (16oz) cans to 6 packs of 12oz cans, just in time for summer.
Session is the hip jam right now, most breweries are mixing in either a new session into their line-up or pairing down existing beers, so odds are your favorite brewery has one out there.
Final note: Growlers. Awesome way to get value in volume and directly supports your local breweries.
For a rather affordable cream ale, I'd add Genesee. I've gotten 6-packs of pony bottles for less than $4, and they're tasty and only 5.1% ABV.
I would also recommend nearly anything from Leinenkugel's, but in particular, their Berry Weiss, Summer Shandy and Sunset Wheat. The Berry is, obviously, very fruity and fun, and the Shandy and Sunset are both very refreshing, summery brews.
@dbokie, I'm not sure where you're located, so I can only speak as a wheat beer lover from MA, but I really enjoy: Avery Brewing Co White Rascal, Ommegang Brewery Witte, Dogfish Head Piercing Pils, Troeg's Sunshine Pils, Wolaver's (Ottercreek) Wildflower Wheat, and my absolute favorite for the summer is Magic Hat Circus Boy (or #9 is always a nice fallback)
Mmmmm, now I want to have a BBQ just so I can try a few of these that I hadn't tried before. I love me a good IPA.
I saw that the Shiner Redbird was on sale at my local market and picked up a couple 750ml bottles. Must say it is the worst beer I have tried in a LONG time. To each their own! But to me it tasted like ill-made ginger soda. Even pouring it as a shandy couldn't save it for me. Yikes!

1.1 Introduction
1. About the N1MM Logger Documentation
This revised documentation, initially released in May of 2011, is organized in three main sections:
1.1. Getting Started Description
Getting Started is intended to guide the new user in chronological order to the point where he/she has a correctly installed version of N1MM Logger with basic logging functionality.
1.2. Digging Deeper Description
The Digging Deeper section will provide in-depth information for configuring and operating N1MM Logger, beyond what is covered in Getting Started. The information in Digging Deeper is arranged by topic areas.
1.3. References Description
The purpose of the Reference section is to provide a location for information not directly related to supporting the N1MM Logger software - but still information that users will find useful.
2. PC Requirements
2.1. Minimum Hardware Requirements
N1MM Logger has been designed to run satisfactorily on a 1 GHz Pentium III with 512 MB of memory. You may encounter performance problems when running minimum configurations and operating CW or RTTY modes, when receiving a high volume of cluster spots, or when your PC is simultaneously running several other applications. It has not been and won't be a priority to make N1MM Logger run on clunkers, but the developers are very interested in finding and correcting the causes of performance problems when they occur.
The recommended minimum graphical resolution is 1024 by 768, with many hams running higher resolutions and dual screens. Although N1MM Logger will operate at 800 by 600, you may find that you want more windows open than will fit conveniently on one screen. One trick in this case is to overlap windows with enough showing so that you can click on them only when needed to bring them to the foreground.
Radio control, CW keying and PTT can be done through serial or parallel ports, through a USB-to-serial adapter, or through K1EL's Winkeyer (an excellent solution which offloads CW processing entirely). For PTT with MMTTY an extra serial port is needed.
SO2R "boxes" may be controlled through a hardware LPT port under 32-bit operating systems, and under 64-bit operating systems if a substitute port driver is installed as described here. Alternatively, the MicroHam USB SO2R Control Protocol and the K1XM Open Two Radio Support Protocol are both supported, for use with devices that accommodate them.
USB-to-serial converters and USB interface devices are supported through virtual serial ports provided by their associated driver software. USB-to-LPT converters cannot be used for either SO2R control or CW/PTT functions, except for the PIEXX SO2RXLAT (which is specifically designed for this purpose).
For more information see the Interfacing section.
2.2. Supported Operating Systems
- Windows XP
- Windows Vista 32/64
- Windows 7 32/64
- Windows 8 32/64
Linux and other Operating Systems will not be supported.

Mike and Sarah Salome stumbled across the brightly painted Mexican cinder block building known to the locals as La Casita or the "little house" in April of 2012. They knew right away this was the spot for the restaurant opportunity they had been dreaming of all of their lives. It took no time to begin the conception of Costa del Sol Latin Cuisine on the downtown strip of Powell River on British Columbia's upper Sunshine Coast.
Mike and Sarah's many years of travel through Latin America, paired with their thirty years of combined experience in restaurants has been the inspiration and influence behind the quick and constant success that Costa del Sol is today.
Costa serves fresh Mexican and Latin flavours, using socially responsible ingredients that support the local community whenever possible. Their seasonal features and regular menu highlight the local climate while remaining faithful to the traditional roots and cultural inspiration.

You Want Me To Do How Many Reps…31×1
On occasion you may see that we have started putting in tempo prescriptions for some of the movements, specifically lifts.
To explain what these numbers mean lets use the squat at a tempo of 31X1.
The FIRST number indicates the lowering (eccentric) part of the lift. In this case, the athlete will lower to the bottom of the squat in 3 seconds. This forces the athlete to maintain tension and control of themselves instead of divebombing.
The SECOND number tells the athlete how long to hold the bottom of the lift. In this case, maintaining tension and good position at the bottom for one second. Don't get soft!
The THIRD number indicates the speed at which the athlete should ascend to the top of the lift (concentric phase). If it's 3, then 3 seconds up to the top. If you see X, such as in our example, then this means to explode up to the top as fast as possible. Follow the tempo even if you can move the weight faster.
The FOURTH number tells us how long to hold the top of the movement. In this case a one second hold at the top to get reorganized for the next rep. In all cases, the first number of a tempo lift is always the lowering (eccentric) portion, even if the movement starts with the ascending (concentric) portion (like a weighted pull up).
Why do we doing this? A few reasons:
- Constantly Varied. We hear this all the time in CrossFit. Switch things up instead of just going for Max effort lifts all the time.
- Focus on muscular elements versus tendinous elements (a slow, controlled motion is going to place more stress on the muscles, whereas a bouncy or ballistic motion will place more stress on the tendons, etc.)
- Improved Stability.
- Get stronger of course! More time under tension = gains, gains, more gains!
These are general CrossFit classes. Every class includes a warm up, skill session and a workout.

How can I identify commercial tenants whose leases are almost due?
Bloomberg compiles tenant-related and other financial data by payday loan consolidation companies that are used as collateral for commercial-mortgage-backed securities. You can use the U.S. Tenant Leads Search (TL) function to find properties with leases that are coming due and identify prospective tenants.
Type TL <Go>. Tab in to the fields at the top of the screen and enter a name or number to narrowyour search by tenant name, length of time until the lease expires or leased square footage. You can focus on a particular location or property type by clicking on either the Locations or the Properties button.
Let's try searching for retail tenants in the Dallas—Fort Worth, Texas, area with leases coming due in the next three months on spaces of up to 50,000 square feet (4,645 square meters), for example. Click on the first arrow to the right of Size (sq ft) and select No Min. Click on the second arrow, select 50,000 and press <Go>.
Click on the Locations button and then on the Top US MSAs tab. Click on the box to the left of Metropolitan Statistical Area to deselect all of the boxes. Then click only on the box to the left of Dallas—Fort Worth—Arlington so that a check mark appears. Click on the Update button and then on the Properties button. Next, click on the checked box to the left of Select All Property Types to deselect all of the boxes. Click on the box to the left of Retail and then on Update to view your search results.

Click on the second arrow and select No Maximum. Press <Go> to run your search. Click on any item in the list of search results for more property details.
By the 16th century Moslems had destroyed the Hindu Javanese monarchy. Local kingdoms sprang up, to war with each other. They were still fighting for control when the Portuguese arrived in 1511. One kingdom, Mataram, had seized almost all Java by the time the Dutch came in 1596.
Working through the local princes, the Dutch established a fort where Djakarta stands today. They threw out the Portuguese, fought off dissident Moslems, strengthened their new port, which they named Batavia, and settled down for a 350-year stay.
World War II brought Japanese occupation. When Japan fell, nationalism flared. The way to self-government was open. A charismatic young engineer named Sukarno proclaimed independence on August 17, 1945. For four years the Netherlands tried to suppress the movement, then gave up their colonial claims. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12378523
By 1950 Sukarno was president. Batavia—renamed Djakarta—was the capital. Java, which contained 65 percent of Indonesia's people, was the seat of power. For the first time the entire Indonesian archipelago felt united, despite its dozens of different cultures. A Malay dialect, Indonesian, had become the national language. The spirit of the national motto, "Unity in Diversity," began to be felt.*
*The birth and growth of the new nation was chronicled in "Republican Indonesia Tries Its Wings," by W. Robert Moore, January 1951 GEOGRAPHIC; "This Young Giant, Indonesia," by Beverley M. Bowie, September 1955; and "Indonesia, the Young and Troubled Island Nation," by Helen and Frank Schreider, May 1961.
And now Sukarno was out, ousted in the murderous aftermath of the abortive Communist coup of 1965. But the Djakarta we entered still called to mind Sukarno's rule. The great sports stadium, the multistoried buildings, the arrogant monuments rose as reminders of his extravagance amid streetless slums watered by open sewers in which the poor bathed, washed their clothes, and voided their wastes.
We came to a stop in front of the luxurious studio flats to rent in london, whose rooms, priced normally by United States standards, cost as much per day as a Javanese professor gets in a month. Dirty and disheveled, I went to mine, shamelessly grateful for the air conditioning, the hot clean water, and the availability of foods other than rice and little salt fish fried whole.
Traffic Pileup Begins Before Dawn
In Djakarta, as elsewhere in Java, day begins before it breaks. The relative cool that precedes sunup finds hundreds of burden-bearing pedestrians hurrying about town, men with their Chinese-style shoulder poles, women with their slings of cloth. The gaudily painted betjaks—rear-driven pedicabs‑course the streets with carefree disregard of traffic laws.
Trucks, buses, cabs, and cars begin to fill the streets. By seven o'clock, even the six-lane divided artery Djalan Thamrin (which interconnects the other sytnbols of Sukarno's spendthrift showmanship) has become again the setting for one of the oldest established permanent floating traffic jams in Southeast Asia. Kumar and I entered it to resume our week-long exploration of the serviced apartments brussels.
We prowled the old port area, where time-mellowed Chinese houses contrast strangely with the massive structures built by Dutch colonial officials three centuries ago. In the heart of the city, we found a crowded kampong, reached by a swaying suspension bridge over the main canal.
I've been with my partner for just over two years and he is wonderful. He's never given me any reason to doubt him and loves me unconditionally. However, previous relationships in which I was cheated on and physically and mentally abused have left me with trust issues. This has created a distance between u$ and I've basically pushed him away. Could you offer advice On how to get over my insecurities and enjoy a happy relationship if, hopefully, its not too late? Rachel, via email
It's never too late! Awareness is half the battle so it's fantastic that you know where you're coming from. I assume you've shared all this with your partner — if not, do put him in the picture. Communicate, communicate, communicate! Ifs essential to a good relationship. Also, consider couple counselling — visit relate. org.uk to find your nearest branch. A counsellor could help you work through these issues together and enable you to rebuild your trust.
I've lost more but, instead of be' thrilled, my husband has become quite hostile. H is insisting that I shouldn't lost any more weight, but I'm still more than 1st from goal. What's the matter with him?
For the problem with your husband, you're not alone. I've seen this many times in my counselling and heard about it at Weight Watchers meetings. He could be trying to sabotage your success, partly because he feels threatened by change and also because he's fearful that the new you will become potentially more attractive to other men.
'Your chances of success improve if you have supportive people around you,' says Karen Miller-Kovach, chief scientific officer of Weight Watchers International. 'One reason why women abandon a weight loss plan is because they feel their partner is sabotaging them.'
Ask your husband to talk to you about his anxieties and offer him the reassurance he dearly needs. Stay strong and don't abandon your healthy goal with dr oz pure green coffee bean extract!
Each team has six people in the water at any one time and the typical formation is three forwards and three backs, or defenders. A game on some Vaseline and continue'
The importance of reading the game becomes obvious very quickly. You waste a load of energy trying to second-guess what an opponent will do and even more trying to recover your position. 'You only get more aware of what's happening by playing regularly' Allen says at half-time. 'It is a tactical game but it always boils down to fitness. The fitter team will always win because they can keep attacking when the opposition begin to tire.'
Back in the water for the second half and my defensive skills are again questioned. 'Stay behind me and wait for the last possible moment,' says Allen. When you see me begin to tire, dive down and hammer the attacker.' This advice arrives just in time as an attacker breaks through, leaving me as the last line of defence. I duck-dive, then kick hard to overcome my buoyancy and block the charge. He breaks to one side and I thrash my fins to follow — but I'm forced to stop and breathe out as the strength leaves my muscles and my opponent flicks the puck past me into the goal.
Like bait Returning to the surface, I see my chance as two players' lungs run empty at the same time and they abandon the puck.
I dive and gain possession, but pushing the puck and turning to pass back to a team-mate makes me realise the punch you need to drive a lead object through water with a flick of the wrist My pass is a little short but just finds its target, and my efforts are rewarded by the clang of lead on steel in my opponents' goal a few seconds later.
My breath sounds ragged in my ears as the muscles in my feet start to spasm but I feel elated. Working so hard without oxygen I surface to some more useful advice from Allen. Don't track along the bottom of the pool because you'll tire too quickly.' So I try to break up the next attack head-on by stealing the puck but the forward scoops it behind him and spins around to block me.
Better puck
Suddenly the water is thick with bodies, sticks and kicking fins making me feel.
Get fit thanks to garcinia cambogia extract to dive has made my muscles feel like they've been through a full-body free weights workout. Read other useful information from pure garcinia cambogia extract reviews.
'It's a totally different type of fitness,' says Allen. 'Being "water-fir — having a strong cardiovascular system to perform without oxygen — is the most important attribute to being a good underwater hockey player.
'But you did well,' he adds. 'You can go and hit the shower.' I'm just glad that I don't have to have another bath.
Building the body you want is like building a house: you need materials, skills and plans.
Fortunately, our MF guide gives you all three
When trying to develop your muscles on the biological building site you need to be more than just a hood carrier. You have to act as architect, laborer and foreman and to do this you need to understand the word hypertrophy. This means the process by which muscles grow in response to certain triggers. The things that combine to stimulate this process are lifting weight, the body's own testosterone and an increase in calorie consumption, particularly from protein. Discover which products fit in the paleo diet food list.
Muscles themselves are made from strands of protein called myofibrils. Most scientists agree that you are born with all the muscle fibres you will ever have. But these fibres can be grown in size through hypertrophy. There are two types of muscle fibres: slow-twitch and fast-twitch. The muscles you use for endurance exercise, such as jogging, are called slow-twitch. They have less potential for growth than fast-twitch muscles, which are used for explosive, high-load exercise such as sprinting and weight lifting. It is these muscles that are targeted during muscle-building workouts.
When you put muscles under tension with a heavy load across their full range of motion, microscopic tears are made throughout the muscle fibres. The body's attempts to repair the tissue are what create more muscle.
Weightlifting is the fine art of working your muscles enough to damage their structure slightly and trigger growth without causing serious damage to the muscles and their anchors. Fortunately, nature has provided us with a detection system. Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) comes on 36-48 hours after exercise and should feel like a dull ache. If this is absent you've probably not achieved enough with your workout. According to Paul Stephen Lubicz, author of Body Conditioning For Men (£12.99, Hamlyn), who trained cast members of Troy to warrior proportions, exercise intensity is vital to success.
'People often train for too long in each session and they don't have enough intensity. I wouldn't want someone to spend more than 45 minutes in a weights workout but I'd want it to be at a true 85 per cent of their maximum intensity,' Lubicz says.
This intensity prompts the body to flood your blood with the testosterone vital to hypertrophy at ten to 20 times the normal level. As well as properly taxing your muscles, short intense workouts also stop the body from converting valuable muscle protein into energy. Once the fuel stored in your muscles and liver is used up, the stress hormone cortisol is released to break down muscle tissue into energy. While some cortisol demolition is necessary to the rebuilding process of hypertrophy, too much will make the body adapt its shape to that of the endurance runner because this is more efficient over long periods of exercise?
'Some people spend an hour and a half in the gym. Your body and nervous system and joints start to get run down,' says Lubicz. 'You start to lose the optimum nitrogen level and your body starts to go into more of an endurance mode.' It may seem odd to worry about nitrogen levels but muscles are made of protein, which is made from amino acids and nitrogen. If amino acids are the building blocks of muscle, nitrogen is the cement.
He says so. And while some of his rivals for the title may wish to quibble, when it comes to being fit Hywel Davies is one of the best in the world
Not many people can say they're world champions of fitness, but Hywel Davies is one of them. After years of dominating the British cross-training scene, he won the World Ultrafit Cross-Training Championships in Bahrain this year. This softly-spoken teacher, 29, from Wales doesn't have the huge slabs of muscle that turned Arnie into a powerful politician nor the ultra-lean limbs of a marathon runner, but the well-proportioned physique that defines a well-balanced all-rounder.
Give him a physical challenge — a marathon or Ironman here, 3,000 burpees or a killer cross-training event there — and he'll do the lot. One after the other. No fuss and no 'I'll be back' dramatics. Just a determination to win. His dedicated training regime, based on boosting his cardiovascular efficiency, is now inspiring other fitness fiends and forcing them to rethink their training strategies based on power and strength. Sadly there are no short cuts to being the fittest of the fit. Only hard work pays but, as Davies says, that's no problem if you enjoy every minute. 'Once it becomes a chore,' he says. 'I'll stop.'
How did fitness become such a passion?
Watching Superstars as a boy inspired me. I remember [Olympic Judo athlete] Brian Jacks doing an amazing number of dips. Anyone can aspire to be fit. I joined a martial arts club in the local village hall and it grew from there. Then fitness became a part of my health lifestyle. I chose only natural healthy products and my favorite is coconut oil with all its benefits. So choose your trusted source to buy coconut oil in bulk.
What is your philosophy of fitness?
Fitness helps you to face the challenges of everyday life. By setting targets we get focus and achieving those targets gives us confidence.
What's the highlight of your career?
Winning the World Championship was great. It's a fantastic feeling to know I'm the best in the world at what I do. But finishing my first Ironman [2.4-mile swim, 112-mile respectable time of 9 hours 28 minutes was very special, too.
Last year I reached the age of 4o a prosperous man with a loving wife and two healthy, happy children. And I decided that life had been very good to me and so I should try to contribute something to those providence has treated less kindly. I discovered that a sailing club near me was raising funds for a dinghy. The dinghy was to be used to take physically handicapped children on sailing trips to teach them the basics of the sport. I used to sail. I learned in the Scouts and continued to mess about in boats right through my twenties.
To cut a long story short I bought them the dinghy. I also volunteered to help the kids sail it. I learned that they also went on hiking and even climbing trips. The efforts made by these children to overcome their disabilities and lead fuller lives was nothing short of inspirational. And it put me, with my sedentary, slothful life, to shame.
I decided that I had an obligation to myself to become fitter and healthier. I joined a gym. I paid a trainer to plot me an exercise programme. I changed my diet and I've stuck rigidly to the new hcg diet plan with less calories per day. I'm stronger and happier than I've ever been and can confidently say that I will never again walk around carrying two stones of flab that don't belong to me. I get far too much enjoyment from running five miles comfortably, from being stronger, from my wife's happy reaction when my clothes come off!
I still work with those kids. I have enormous admiration for what they strive to achieve. And I will always be grateful for what their example inspired me to do for myself.
I don't want my name printed with this article because I don't want anyone thinking I'm blowing my own trumpet about forking out a few hundred quid for a boat. But there are a lot of men like me with an obligation to take better care of themselves, for their own sake and their families.
And I hope they gain encouragement from this story.
The art of via ferrata (VF) is the same as any climbing — brute strength is of limited use compared with balance, patience and confidence. Gradually you learn how to be prepared and how little of you needs to touch the rock, if you put it in the right place. We all take care of our training. As for being healthy, confident and having balanced mental condition, we use coconut oil. It's amazing how this oil can have so many health benefits to human's body. It's quite popular among the pets-lovers too, because it has positive effects on people's best friend. Learn more about using the best products for dogs care. Safe at the top, tucking into parma ham and doughnut sandwiches (three Brits, one shopkeeper, not one word of shared language), we're already raising the bar for the next day's more demanding climb.
Our target, Punta Flames, is demanding enough— So meters of VF (your average British rock-climbing route is less than 5o meters) plus a few ladders up the un climbable stuff, reaching a summit 2,24o meters above the Cortina valley. Hofler and Werner are pretty unambiguous: "This climb requires absolute sure-footedness and freedom from vertigo!" Or just a pair of big Italian balls.
Two hours from the car, my cohones have gone AWOL, as we find ourselves zigzagging across sheer rock, stretching like starfish for the next hold. The storm clouds have begun to gather and I realize, perhaps a little late, that I'm halfway up a treeless mountain, chained to a lightning conductor. We negotiate the last ladder, slippery with the sweat of jittery predecessors, and reach the "crux" of the climb. Above us, clearly bored with the indirect route, the VF runs straight as a plumb-line up a vertical 8o-metre face. The only way really is straight up — only a lightning strike would persuade me to down-climb the sweaty ladder. Loins girded, trusses tightened, we set off. The next ten minutes (fear makes you fast) is one of the most intense experiences I can recall, as I concentrate totally on the climb, the moves, nothing except the world within my reach. No hands on the wire.
The clouds clear at the top, the novelty sandwiches taste even better than yesterday, the twitching in my right eyelid begins to subside. Pure VF—the low-risk way to get high.
NINE O'CLOCK FRIDAY NIGHT AND 11 MILLION BRITISH MEN AND WOMEN ARE DATELESS. It's official: there are now more singles in the UK than ever before. And, according to the Office of National Statistics, the number will rise a further five million by 2010. Yet there are also more opportunities to meet women – online, at speed-dating events or through singles parties. And business is thriving – the UK dating industry is estimated by the Economic and Social Research Council to be worth £600 million. The companies claim to provide quick, sure-fire routes to meeting women. A tempting offer for any single man, but do they come up with the goods?
I investigated the singles scene from a woman's point of view, so I could ascertain which methods would be most successful for you. I got the women who use these services to open up to me and tell me what they're really looking for – are they after fun, a long term partner, a fling or just a meal ticket?
It's s the fast-food drive-through of the dating industry – you go on between 20 and 30
"dates" in one night, each lasting three minutes. Just long enough, in theory, to work out if you like that person. If you do, you tick their name on your scorecard and after the event the organizers inform you of any matches, or you simply log on to a website to find out if you've "scored". Before going on speed dates, make sure you look great and confident. If it has to, burn the extra fat. Get some ideas from raspberry ketones dr oz show.
And, just like their fast-food equivalents, speed-dating companies give their goods the hard sell: "This is THE way to find romance and new friends in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere" (ukxfactor.com); "Speed-dating is a great way to meet and date lots of professional singles in one night" (speeddater.com). Some elements of these promises are delivered on – I did meet and "date" plenty of professional singles when at these events. But why merely having a job is such a big selling point is beyond me. Finding men who are gainfully employed isn't a problem, it's finding men who can listen as well as talk, be sensitive and strong, and who are funny but also capable of expressing emotions. They don't promise that in their adverts.
Several of the women I talked to had successful careers, were apparently sane and were certainly attractive. Not the exclusively sad, "grey from gathering dust on the shelf' group I'd expected, the attendants came in all shapes and sizes. And there's the problem: imagine sitting on a packed commuter train, then imagine having to spend three minutes talking to each passenger of the opposite sex with a view to dating them. Odds of actually meeting someone you'll even want to see again? Slim? Welcome to speed-dating.
At each event it took me a matter of seconds to assess whether or not I wanted to end up in a tangle of limbs with any of the men there. And, to be honest, talking to most of them felt like a waste of three valuable minutes. While there's always an exception to the rule, it usually takes a bucket-load of charm and a bumper-sized hamper of wit to outweigh a lack of initial physical attraction. My impressions were backed up by the women I spoke to – the most common comment was, "It's definitely been an experience!" – but only one or two felt likely to get any genuine romantic success from the event.
"Women may not take speed-dating all that seriously," says relationship counselor Susan Quilliam. "It's often a night out with friends, for a giggle or to have their egos boosted. The evening may end with a quick my enthusiasm had dampened to the point of saturation. The more I searched the more difficult it became to single out men I wanted to contact. Some men looked okay but sounded dull; others sounded great but hadn't posted a photo; many lived in the wrong city, some even in the wrong country. I also found it near-impossible to success out whether I fancied any of the men without seeing them in the flesh – I need to see a guy's mannerisms, posture, and even clothing, to decide if I want to see him naked. And I've got a bit of a thing about how a man smells, too – impossible to check online.
Many of the female users I spoke to said they prefer the anonymity of emailing before meeting, however – they felt freer to express themselves via the internet. "You can be whoever you want to be when you're online," says Kirsten, an elfin 29-year-old brunette. "I feel I come across as a lot more confident and outgoing." But while emailing may help overcome shyness, it may cause problems later on.

MONTERREY, Mexico — A state forensic official says at least eight bodies have been pulled from a well in northern Mexico near the site where 20 people went missing late last week, including 16 members of a Colombian-style band.
The official says the Nuevo Leon State Investigative Agency is working at the site through the night in the town of Mina near the northern city of Monterrey, and the body count could rise.
The official spoke late Sunday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case. He said he could not confirm whether the bodies belonged to any of the missing.
Members of the band Kombo Kolombia and their crew were reported missing early Friday after playing a private show late Thursday in a bar in the nearby town of Hidalgo.

The flank steak was a bit chewy but maybe that's what I have to expect with that kind of meat. Lots of flavor and yes, a bit salty as mentioned in another review.

Loved our stay at this home !
Our stay at the Manor house was Wonderful! The house was exactly as described & has everything you need and was very clean. The house is the perfect location, It is on a very quiet street and close to the beaches, restraunts, and shopping. The pool was heaven! Alec was amazing his communication is top notch ! We fished off the dock, visited the beach everyday, went on canoe rides, ate at some fabulous restraunts, and had cook outs. Our stay there was very relaxing and tons of fun ! Thank you Alec for renting us your home ! We will be back for sure and I have already recommended it to several friends ! Cindi Gold & family
Great vacation on Florida
Great stay. House and amenities as described in the listing. Fast refund of the security deposit.
Great home.
We stayed at this home for the month of April. The house is well equipped and clean. The furniture and beds were new. We had everything needed to make our stay comfortable. The location was great. It was 10 minutes to the beach and 5 Minutes or less to restaurants, WalMart and food stores. The owners, Nancy and Will, were always available if needed. I would love to go back next winter but it was already booked for our time needed.

Just Say "No" to Valentine's Day
One single mom thinks the holiday is incredibly biased, so she's opting out.
That's why I've reached out to some of my favorite single parent bloggers to ask how they're saying "no" to Valentine's Day. Are you in?
Jessica, a newly divorced mom, says that she's choosing shoes over a date.
"I'm pretty sure you don't need a man if you've got these shoes on Valentine's Day," Jessica says, as she goes on to "ooh" and "aah" over sexy heels, from "Moschino with rhinestones" to "Alexander McQueen heart peep toe pumps."
"This much is clear: You don't need a man. You may want a partner to join you on this amazing and erratic journey. You may enjoy the sound of someone laughing uncontrollably at something off-handed and clever and quippy you threw out there without even thinking it up beforehand ... But you do not need a man."
Instead, what you need are shoes: "Shoes that are not meant for anything else other than pure, possibly overstated, completely deserved pleasure ..."
"T," a single mom of two, on the other hand, is quite philosophical about the holiday:
"I am saying no to Valentine's Day because I don't think I need a particular day to celebrate love," says T. "I think love is who we are -- and we should celebrate that every moment of every day!"
That's why single dad of two, Eathan, is going to hang out with a group of single and recently divorced friends for Valentine's Day.
"I'm usually the wine guy, so I'll provide a case of wine for everyone to enjoy," says Eathan, admitting that there is one woman "whom I am mutually attracted to. Currently, we haven't had the chance to go on an official date because of schedules, kids and life ... but we will soon."
Julie, single mom blogger, isn't quite feeling so "fabulous" about her single life right now.
"All of my friends are coupled up and I'm the only single person I know with no prospects for a Valentine's date," says Julie.
"So there will be no raging heart on for me this year. I'll just stay in the house with my dogs all day. They are male/female Yorkies -- even they are paired up! Arrrrgh."
Kat Wilder -- a single mom with a boyfriend -- agrees that Valentine's Day has "become a day of disappointment, unrealistic expectations and resentments."
"Some people might think I'm just another bitter middle-aged divorcee when I roll my eyes at Valentine's Day," adds Kat. "But the truth is, I'm not bitter. I'm a hopeless romantic!"
Are you a hopeless romantic, too? Or, are you saying "No" to Valentine's Day?

Jerusalem church defaced in latest hate crime attack
'Price tag, King David is for the Jews, Jesus is garbage' graffiti found on wall adjacent to Roman Church, just a day after Vatican urges Israel to secure Christian sites.
Anti-Christian graffiti was found Friday morning on a wall adjacent to a Roman church on Hahoma Hashlishit Street in Jerusalem in another in a series of hate crimes. The graffiti read "Price tag, King David is for the Jews, Jesus is garbage."
In addition, "Death to Arabs" graffiti was spotted on the door of a home and on an electrical box in the Old City of Jerusalem. The police opened an investigation.
Earlier this week, Israeli archaeologist Eli Shukron claimed to find the legendary citadel captured by King David in his conquest of Jerusalem, rekindling a longstanding debate about using the Bible as a field guide to identifying ancient ruins.
In another hate crime attack Monday, "Death to Arabs and Christians and all those who hate Israel" was daubed in Hebrew on an outer column of the Office of the Assembly of Bishops at the Notre Dame Center in East Jerusalem.

KELLY CLARKSON has just gotten engaged to boyfriend BRANDON BLACKSTOCK, according to recent Hollywood celebrity gossip.
Last October, Kelly Clarkson said that she had never been in love—what a difference a year can make!
And even more surprising is the fact that the singer, who revealed her secret relationship with Brandon Blackstock (the stepson of country singer Reba McEntire) earlier this year, is now engaged!
Two months after stating during her radio interview with Ryan Seacrest that she and Brandon were "so getting married," Kelly accepted his a proposal on December 14.
The "American Idol" champion tweeted her good news just a few hours ago:
"I'M ENGAGED!!!!! I wanted y'all to know!! Happiest night of my life last night! I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever :)"
Aaww! Congratulations!

Refried Beans
By: Chef Emerald Coleman
1. Rinse uncooked beans and add to large pan of cold water.
2. Add onion, jalapeno, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Cook covered on low until beans are ready.
4. Once beans are ready, heat a large frying pan with the oil. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to low and add the chile arbol peppers, frying them until the oil tints a light red color.
5. Remove peppers from oil and add beans to the hot oil.
6. Fry for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until you can mash them easily. As you mash them, add water from the bean pan until you have a refried bean consistency (like in restaurants).
