The UFC is headed back to Houston in October for an event that will likely be headlined by a rubber match between UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.
UFC president Dana White relayed the return to Houston and likely headliner at Thursday's UFC 161 media scrum in Winnipeg.
More MMA
The return to Houston, at least for the time being, rules out longstanding rumors of an event at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.
White shot down any talk of Cowboys Stadium, adding that the Houston event would be in an arena. The UFC has made two trips to Houston in the past, both of which took place at the Toyota Center.
The October event would likely be dubbed UFC 166 and return to the Toyota Center.
Velasquez vs. dos Santos 3 came to fruition after each man won his respective fight at UFC 160 in May.
Velasquez successfully defended his belt against Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, which was his second victory over the big Brazilian. In the night's co-main event, dos Santos knocked out Mark Hunt to earn a return shot at regaining the belt he once held.

Ugh…don't want this fight. Rather see Cain vs Werdum.
This fight was going to happen sometime anyway, might as well get it out of the way
Because your hero Cain WILL lose!!!
Anyone else you think is capable of beating Cain other then JDS? I honestly can't think of anyone. There are tough fights for him but nobody I think has a better chance then JDS to beat Cain other then Overeem. And let's not bring up a loss to Bigfoot as the only reason he can't beat Cain.
Overeem's loss to Bigfoot was entirely because of ego…he toyed with him for a couple of rounds when he should have just put him away in the first.
Very true.
You would think JDS fans would be humbled by now, but no. You still think JDS will flash ko Cain again?
Humbled by what? 1 loss in the UFC, by decision? Cain got ko'd in one minute…and he has almost been knocked out a few times in his career.. definitely not a great chin for a heavyweight. I don't think either fighter has a clear advantage in this matchup, which is what makes it a great match.
humbled by the fact that JDS got taken to school last fight with Cain. JDS fans kept saying he was going to walk through cain with ease again in their 2nd fight. Now they're acting like that again.
I don't think any fan of either fighter should be too cocky going into this fight. Obviously, both fighters have the ability to win. What i've seen are too many Cain fans just looking at the last fight and thinking this one will be a repeat…not going to happen.
I am a Werdum fan but JDS deserves this fight more. His only loss is to Cain. Same goes for Cain. And they both won their fights after losing to one another. Werdum should fight Daniel Cormier just to get his name out of the picture because then there is nobody else.
I do agree, Werdum vs Cormier should be next.
In general as a fan I would like to see Werdum vs Mir at some point depending on how he does with Barnett.
Would prefer Cain fight Werdum, Nelson or Cormier but its going to be in Houston so I get to go to a live event so I'm excited!!!
I imagine that the winner of JDS/Cain III will then likely have to fight one of the three guys you just mentioned, and then the two left out would be next in line.
Glad it's finally confirmed because this fight needs to happen to determine the best heavyweight mma fighter in the world. There are some other good heavyweights, but these two are just a cut above all the rest.
Nighty night Cain !
Jds is great dont get get me wrong but he doesnt deserve this shot
How does he not? Cain got a rematch after one win, why would JDS not deserve the same?
Edgar obviously doesn't understand what the word "deserve" means.
I think he is saying that a win over Mark Hunt should get one a title shot. Well…a win of Mark Hunt + being a former title holder + no other viable alternative = deserves title shot.
Who deserves more than JDS?
Wedrum, and mark hunt? he's ranked 9th and he beats struve? Who hasnt beat struve? lol. All i'm saying is that wedrum is more deserving then JDS
Not even close !
Because at the time when cain won there were no contenders. overeem was on steroids,there was no one else. now theres wedrum, cormier, Big Counrty. He doesnt deserve it
Well, let's see….JDS has beat Werdum and Big Country…and Cormier flat out refuses to fight Cain…plus after Cormier's nap inducing performance against Mir, he doesn't deserve a title shot yet anyhow. So yeah, JDS obviously deserves it.
You know what, your right. i wanna see this fight. when its all said and done these 2 guys will be fighting 5 times
Nah, Jds will KO Cain bad and prove that the second fight was a fluke !
Cain whipped his ass for 25 minutes complete domination that was no fluke!!
That's like bragging about beating up a handicap person !
And BTW Cain Did not whip his ass for 25 minutes. Junior was making Cain look stupid before he started gassing !
I can't believe that people are so stupid as to think that Junior losing the second fight actually had anything to do with Cain !
Cain comes in at 100% and takes 25 minute to win and can't even finish a JDS that came in at about 20% !
oh man, your talking out of your ass. enough said. Cain put him on his back, rocked him. dos santos has a great chin but you dont have to knock ppl out in order to be a bad ass a good example of that GSP. Cain is a better fighter
LOL ! Guess we will see !
Did you see that right JDS land on Hunt in the first round ? Cain would still be snoring !
i did see that that s*** was nice! But this isnt kick boxing theres more to standup in mma . and has a mixed martial artist cain is better than JDS
Sry Dude JDS even has better wrestling not to mention everything else !
wont be any different from the second cain will push pace, take jds to floor, and possibly even stoppage ground and pound elbows whatever the case may be' cain will reign victorious and go on to fight werdum and dominate him and become the solid p4p heavyweight king
Or maybe it won't be any different from the first, where JDS ko'd Cain in a minute
I think that's alot more likely !
Two things I know for sure.
#1 before junior started to gas in the last fight, Cain attempted Nine take downs in the first three and a half minutes. First one ended with Cain on his back then Junior stuffed the next eight in a row. Cain could not take a healthy Junior down if his life depended on it !
#2 Cain will not KO Junior ! Even in as bad of shape as Junior was in he still took Cains best shots for five rounds.
I can't understand how anyone thinks the last fight means anything ? Everyone knows Junior should have been in a Hospital not fighting !
Keep making excuses for JDS. JDS is terrible when it comes to defense. He's only good when he's the bully, but can't handle when he's being bullied.
And keep making excuses for Cain. He's terrible when his opponent isn't half dead ! LOL
They were both injured that fight, who cares what happend. Even if Cain won the first fight, it still wouldn't of counted.
I have no idea what you're saying…but in the first fight Cain didn't last long enough for existing injuries to have played any part in him getting ktfo!
Dana is in the business of protecting cain, and he knows big country has got cains number. Thats why you will not see big country vs cain
Im gonna be honest. Im a BIG – HUUUGE fan of VELASQUEZ. He is my FAVORITE FIGHTER and ATHLETE in general.
Without a doubt in my mind HE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
As for me, JDS DESERVES this fight.
Lets face it, HW division doesnt have many fighters that can deal with CAIN, but JDS is one of those who can the most. Other than him, Oveerem. IMO
All those people who thinks JDS doesnt deserve this shot is just scared that he can take this from Cain. Im affraid, i admit. But i wont say JDS doesnt deserve the shot, cause he does.
So i hope CAIN can repeat amazing performance from his last fight and win again.
The only reason I don't want this fight yet is that the loser will be resigned to the fate of a gatekeeper for as long as the winner holds the belt.
Not necessarily ! although I think JDS will beat Cain 9 out of 10 times I can also see JDS getting caught in a sub by Werdume (unlikely but possible) And we've all seen how great wrestling can trump Great BJJ when GSP did it to Penn and Shields so whats to say Cain couldn't do it to Werdume by controlling him on the ground or making it into a boxing match.
Styles make fights !
Junior will KO Cain no problem !
JDS got lucky the first time because Caín wasn't at a hundred % he totally destroyed JDS he got the worst beating of his career And probably his Life, And he will get a beating again. Can't wait to see him shut JDS fans for good! Caín is the true champion!

Forging the Nanny-Parent Partnership
Nannies and Parents
Managing the nanny-parent relationship is a cinch when you follow one simple rule: Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. According to Glenda Propst, co-founder of the National Association of Nannies, proper communication begins in the first interview and ends, well…never.
The Interview
A nanny for 19 years, Propst recommends that nannies ask just as many questions as their prospective employers during the all-important interview process. "Both parties get a lot from the questions as well as the answers," she points out. A true professional should be wondering—and asking—about the future. Questions such as the possibility of more children and how the family's schedule will change once kids go to school indicate that she's in it for the long haul. "Parents should hire a nanny who shows a high level of commitment. Changing nannies takes a huge toll on children," says Propst. "This is not the kind of job to try out for a few days, then quit if you don't like it."
The interview is also a good time for both parties to address sensitive subjects. Questions about driving records, smoking, or the possibility of overnight guests (for live-ins) are less intimidating during an interview because they're hypothetical at that point. Often, as many interview insights can be gleaned from how the prospective nanny reacts to questions as how she answers them. Lisa Gordon, mother of three, found that out when she interviewed her current nanny. "I liked the fact that she didn't flinch when questions came up about background checks and driving records. That, in itself, showed us that she was a real professional," says Gordon. Getting tricky issues out on the table during the interview makes them easier to address in the future.
For both parties, job one in the nanny interview is to establish trust. Setting expectations is essential, as in most working relationships. But unlike most working relationships, the nanny-parents connection involves a third, and most important party—a child—making it all the more critical to find a good match between employer and employee.
Getting Started
The interview is over and an offer has been made, negotiated, and accepted. What next? "Communication is an ongoing process," explains Propst. "It's a lot of work, but good communication is also extremely rewarding." It's important early in the relationship to agree on what, exactly, will be expected from the nanny as an employee. Some prefer to work under the technical job definition, only doing work that relates directly to the child. Other nannies are happy to handle housekeeping duties, pick up dry-cleaning, or buy the family's groceries when they're shopping for the children in their care.
Another important thing parents should communicate is a schedule structure they'd like the nanny to follow, complete with time allotments and activities, from playgroups to classes and free time. Regardless of specific duties, parents should expect their nanny to devote the majority of her day to activities with or for the child.

Florida Hospital partners with Walgreens for patient prescription delivery
Florida Hospital Fish Memorial in Orange City has partnered with Walgreens to provide a free bedside prescription delivery for patients being discharged home.
The new program allows patients that are being discharged to have their prescriptions delivered to their bedside before they leave the hospital.
The hours for the free delivery program are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, if a patient does not want to wait on the prescription to be delivered during these hours, or the delivery is needed after hours, there is an additional service called "Prompt Pick-up." Walgreens will expedite the filling of the prescriptions so the patient may utilize the drive-through window at the store.
Patients who choose to utilize either prescription fulfillment option are provided additional education about the new medications at the time of discharge, and again within 48 to 72 hours of discharge.
This service comes on the heels of Florida Hospital DeLand's recent partnership with the Walgreens Pharmacy at 100 E. International Speedway Blvd. in DeLand.

News with a View
11:46 AM EST, November 21, 2011
There's a college football game being played this Saturday in the Superdome that's a lot bigger than the game. The annual Bayou Classic takes place this weekend between the Grambing State Tigers and the Southern Jaguars of Baton Rouge. Both of these historically black universities are over 100 years old and are known nationwide.
Grambling State was put on the map by legendary coach Eddie Robinson, a man of immeasurable integrity, who would take his teams anywhere to play, literally barnstorming the country. Southern university, on the other hand, is America's 2nd largest black university with an enrollment of nearly 10,000.
The game has come a long way from the inaugural Classic back in 1974 at old Tulane stadium. And when these two come to New Orleans for the Thanksgiving weekend, it truly is a lot more than football and the battle of the bands.
The classic is the only Division 1 Subdivision game played annually on national TV. The free, nationwide New Orleans publicity is priceless. And the annual economic impact is somewhere in the $75 million range for the New Orleans economy.
By the way, getting back to the ball game, in 37 Bayou Classics played, Grambling leads the overall series in New Orleans, 19-18. Saturday's game promises to be another classic. For the fans of Southern and Grambling, and for the city of New Orleans.

We all love to get mail. It is one of the reasons why I think monthly craft and activity subscription boxes are a popular choice for parents and those buying for kids this season.
It is the gift that keeps giving past the holiday.
There are lots of different choices and each has a different slant, price and overall value.
Which Craft Subscription for Kids is Best?
I did some research to narrow down the choices to 10 subscription craft boxes for kids and then ordered all 10 to get the story on which is the best fit. In my case, I had my 7 year old youngest son in mind and I decided not to try anything that was more than $30 a month. I also wanted to make sure I could cancel the subscription after the first month easily so I didn't end up with 120 boxes by year end!
Over the last month Rhett and I have been in research mode – intensely playing with each of the subscription boxes for kids that we ordered to give you our thoughts. For each box, I have taken a picture of the supplies we received and then an assortment of photos from the projects we made. If we missed any boxes, please comment below and we will try them out!
We ordered 10, but only received 9 in the first month. I will be updating this article as more arrive. Any of the boxes that offered an affiliate program have affiliate program links below.
I have listed these craft subscriptions for kids in alphabetical order.
Carefree Crafts
Carefree Crafts – New craft packages each month filled with 5 holiday or seasonal-themed craft kits. These crafts are meant to be assembled by kids aged 3-7 with their parents and caregivers.
The Carefree Crafts Subscription Price:
- One month = $17.95 with free shipping
- 3 months = $58.85
- Year = $179.95
Ordering Carefree Crafts: The Carefree Crafts website was a little confusing at first because they have both subscription and box sets available. I wanted to get one month of the subscription and was ordering on October 26 and my only choice was to order the Halloween craft set even though Halloween was only 5 days away. I decided to return later so I could receive a non-Halloween kit. When I ordered later, it was the Thanksgiving craft kit that was available which arrived within a week.
I thought I had just ordered one month, but received an email later saying that my next month's box would arrive in January, but it was easily canceled with an email.
Carefree Craft Subscription Box for Kids
Inside the Carefree Craft envelope was 6 holiday craft projects. Rhett was pretty excited because there was lots to do. The Thanksgiving crafts were:
- Leaf Wreath
- Pilgrim Hat
- Turkey
- Paper pumpkin
- Thankful tree
- Indian corn craft
There was everything we needed to make all 6 crafts in the box. I liked that many of the things were assembled with glue dots since Rhett was able to do that by himself. In fact, most of the things included he was able to do without much help. His favorite craft was the turkey. I thought the corn came out pretty cute.
What we liked best about the Carefree Craft kit: There is a lot of craft for the money in these kits and no waste. We used everything inside for about 1 1/2 hours of fun. We put all our projects on display for the holiday. This was Rhett's top pick when asked which subscription he liked the best.
Crafting Our Kids
Crafting Our Kids – delivers fun and creativity to kids' mailboxes each month.
The Crafting Our Kids Price:
- One month = $21.99
- 3 months = $65.97
- Year = $224.30
Ordering Crafting Our Kids Kits: The Crafting Our Kids website was a bit challenging to complete an order. The child's information and shipping address were entered awkwardly and then it appeared I was done. Except, I hadn't paid yet. At the bottom of the page was a small paypal button that needed to be pushed as well to complete the order. It said "pay as you go" so I assumed I didn't have to cancel the subscription, but was charged again the next month.
Crafting Our Kids Craft Subscription Kit for Kids
The Crafting Our Kids envelope had two large projects inside that were holiday related. One was a "Thankful" banner to hang and the other was a very large snowflake. Everything we needed to make both crafts were included.
Rhett loved the snowflake craft. It had a large template so he was able to do it completely by himself with just a little verbal guidance. The Thankful banner was a little more challenging. The according folding was made easier by pre-scored paper, but he was still unable to fold them by himself. I obviously should have helped him with the letters because our "Thankful" has several of the letters backwards!
What we like best about the Crafting Our Kids Craft Kit: I thought both projects were really creative. They are things I would never have thought to do on my own. The snowflake will be something that Rhett saves for a very long time.
Foldigo Subscription for Kids
Foldigo – Foldigo sends new activity packs each month. With a subscription, kids receive a new story and an activity pack with die-cut paper toys. It appears that the story continues each month and you can order the entire story which will be complete after 6 months.
The Foldigo Price:
- One month = $11.95 with free shipping
- Full series (6 months) = $60
- Digital version – PDF printables delivered via email = $4.95/month
Ordering a Foldigo Subscription: The Foldigo website is very simple and before I knew it I had purchased one month with the only payment option being a reoccurring monthly paypal withdrawal. It didn't ever ask me for my mailing address which made me go and check that my paypal mailing address was up to date.
When I did cancel the membership, it was by email and I received a response right away confirming the cancellation.
Foldigo Subscription for Kids
We received our Foldigo Subscription within a few weeks and it was packaged in a flat envelope. Inside was a story and foldable versions of the house and characters. The actual folding process for several of the projects was pretty advanced. The house wasn't too complicated, but needed a craft knife instead of scissors to cut properly. It was the bulldog 3D animal that took me 45 minutes to fold. Rhett was done with everything else long before I finished.
What we liked best about the Foldigo Subscription: Rhett really liked the pop-up house. I think the less expensive pdf version is a great option – you would be able to get 6 months of activities for the price of what just one month costs for some of the other subscriptions.
Green Kid Crafts
Green Kid Crafts – Green Kid Crafts is an award winning and earth friendly subscription of art boxes for kids. Each box has 3-4 creativity and science kits designed by experts to build confidence, flex creativity and engage kids with the world around them. All materials and instructions are included.
Green Kid Crafts price:
- One month = $19.95
- 3 months = $59.85
- Year = $203.40
- Siblings can be added to the subscription for about $10/month
Ordering a Green Kid Crafts Kit: The Green Kid Crafts website has a lot of information, but is really easy to use. The ordering process was simple and I was given a order summary right after I completed the process. It also gave me an immediate link to tweet for commission on sales from friends which is kinda cool. I was also given an immediate login to manage my account. Cancellations happen via email per FAQs on the site. When I did cancel, I received a quick confirmation.
Green Kid Crafts Craft Subscription for Kids
Green Kid Crafts was one of two craft subscription kits that I had been familiar with before I started on this journey. A few years ago we reviewed a box they sent as here on Kids Activities Blog. It was a positive experience back then and Rhett loved this one as well.
Our box {and the packaging is really cute} included three projects:
- Photo frame project – small {could be used as an ornament}
- Tape resist painting
- Card-making kit
- Bonus: Wrapping paper making from the packaging supplies
Rhett started on the tape resist before I even showed him what to do. He loved that project. He also completed the photo frame and took it to his teacher at school before I could get a picture of it! I take that as a sign that he really enjoyed the projects.
The supplies are bright and colorful and just made us happy to look at them.
What we liked best about the Green Kid Craft kit: Everything is simple, organized and easy for kids. Rhett was able to do all the projects on his own without help from me unless I wanted to be involved.
Kiwi Crate
Kiwi Crate – Kiwi Crate is a hands-on learning box that includes art, science, games and more for kids ages 3-7.
Kiwi Crate Pricing:
- One month = $19.95 + shipping
- 3 months = $60 with free shipping
- Year = $205
Ordering a Kiwi Crate Craft Subscription: The Kiwi Crate website is bright and easy to navigate. When I selected one crate, I was sent to choose which one I wanted! Yay. I chose Robot Rally because it just looked fun. When I chose it, I also had the option of starting my subscription with that box. Since I was ordering just one month, I had to pay for shipping which ended up to be $4.95. At the end of my purchase I could create an account by adding a password. Cancelation was via email.
Kiwi Crate Craft and Activity Subscriptions for Kids
Kiwi Crate packaging is amazing and it doesn't stop inside. Everything we needed to create two different robot projects was inside the box. The first project was a robot that we assembled and then used a magnet to guide him along a path or maze. Rhett made extra mazes for him to travel. The second was a wind-up toy that we covered with a custom robot cover. Then created trailers, trains and things for him to pull.
The additional suggested activities included making a large robot out of boxes. Rhett insisted on doing that and we spent the afternoon upcycling cardboard boxes from our recycling bin int a large robot.
What we liked best about the Kiwi Crate crafts subscription box: My 10 year old got involved too – he couldn't help himself. The two boys created robots for 2 1/2 hours that afternoon without fighting. The activities were ones that I would never have thought of on my own and were very clever.
Little Passports
Little Passports – Little Passports is a ticket to an exciting global adventure. Inspire a love and understanding of the world as your child learns about a new country every month or embark on an adventure around the United States of America. The world edition is recommended for ages 5-10. The USA edition is for kids ages 7-12.
Little Passports Pricing:
- One month = $11.95
- 3 months = $41.85 (which is $13.95 a month)
- Year = $131.40 (one-time payment)
Ordering Little Passports Activity Kits for Kids: The Little Passports website made me want to order both the world and US editions. But, I restrained myself and went with the world edition. There was a coupon code ON the site which gave me another $5 off which I adored. I chose the 3 month plan which was $41.84 minus $5 and plus a $12 shipping charge to my Texas home.
Little Passports Subscription for Kids
The first Little Passports box contains the adorable Little Passports suitcase. It also had a passport, boarding pass, post card, large map and an activity sheet. Rhett was excited about the suitcase.
From what I can tell, future months will fill the suitcase with activities surrounding 2 countries each month. We are looking forward to what next month has in store for us.
What we liked best about the Little Passports Subscription: The supplies are high quality and are things that Rhett will definitely keep for a long time. It is fun to see what is in store for us each month as the activities build on one another.
Surprise Ride
Surprise Ride – Superprise Ride are themed hands-on activities to explore art, science, cooking, magic and more. It is perfect for ages 6-11 and includes supplies and instructions.
The Surprise Ride Price:
- One month = $29.99
- 3 months = $89.97
- Year = $299.90 (paid upfront each 6 months)
Ordering Surprise Ride Craft Kits: The Suprise Ride website worked well. There were more boxes to fill out when checking out, but they were simple. I was able to use a credit card and given a order number after it was placed. In the process of checking out, I was lead through setting up an account which is where I will need to change my subscription settings. This was one of the few sites that told me how to make subscription changes. Canceling was easy.
Surprise Ride Craft Subscription for Kids
Surprise Ride packaging is bright and fun. It was the first box to arrive so Rhett was super excited to open it. It was all about the country of Japan which coincidentally has been of interest to him for awhile.
There were two main crafts in the box, but also some information about the country, a book, some snacks and souvenirs as well. The eraser animal was immediately put in his school pencil box.
The first craft we tackled was to add lots of color to a Japanese lantern. There was even a little light that could be added once we were done to make it glow. The second was a series of origami with corresponding colorful paper. We made several of the simpler ones, but I have found that origami is not a strength of mine so we were limited by my skill level. Despite my inabilities, Rhett adored everything that we did that afternoon. Everything we needed to make the crafts were included in the box.
What we liked best about the Surprise Ride craft box: The Surprise Ride boxes are well put together and every element in the box has a reason. Rhett loved the chocolate sticks that were a sample of food from Japan. Several of the other things included have been relocated to his personal treasure box.
Together Box
TogetherBox – TogetherBox will land on your doorstep with everything you need for hours of family fun. Open and find 3-4 unique activities to enjoy together.
The TogetherBox Price:
- One month = $29
- 3 months = $81 (pay upfront)
- Year = $288 (pay upfront each 6 months)
The TogetherBox Activity kit ordering process: TogetherBox's website was one of the easiest to use and purchase. It instantly gave me an order number and terms which did show that I would need to cancel my subscription. It was one of the two websites that made it easy for me to cancel my subscription within the login area and not have to email them.
TogetherBox Activity Subscription for Kids
TogetherBox arrives in a cute box with coordinating packaging and simple instructions. Our box was called "glow box" and everything inside glowed in the dark. There was two crafts and a series of games to be played in the dark with a set of cups and a ball.
Rhett immediately wanted to create a custom t-shirt for one of his stuffed animals. The kit included everything we needed including glow-in-the-dark puffy paint. He copied the enclose information about constellations to create an abstract big dipper on his t-shirt. I was surprised how excited he was about this project. We used the stars that were intended to be hung on a wall or ceiling to create glowing constellations as a stencil for his art.
The other activities were a series of games that we played that evening after dark. There was glowing bowling, ring toss and hide-and-seek. All the boys got involved because…who doesn't love a good in-the-dark game?
What we liked best about the TogetherBox craft and activity box: Each of these activities and crafts were very unique. It was well-themed and we did them all. I liked the simplicity of the activities and the kids were really engaged in them! It wasn't clear what age was intended for these boxes, but they are really for multiple ages and could easily be modified for younger or older kids.
Xplore Box
Xplore Box – Xplore Box engages kids to take an interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by delivering hands-on kits and toys each month through a subscription service. Great for kids ages 7-12.
The Xplore Box Price:
- One month = $29.95 with free shipping
- 3 months = $89.85
- Year = $323.40
Ordering Xplore Box Science Activities for Kids: The Xplore Box website only has a few choices which made it easy. The payment system sent me directly to paypal and there was no choice to just choose one month. It did return me to a page on Xplore Box which let me know that they had my proper shipping address and gave me an order number. After I received my box, Xplore Box was one of the two sites that let me cancel my subscription easily within my login with the push of one button.
Xplore Box Science Activities for Kids
The Xplore Box was another one that arrived shortly after we ordered it. It was FULL of stuff all about space. There were two main projects – a baking soda rocket and a soda bottle rocket. Rhett was thrilled to see astronaut ice cream was one of the box supplies.
There was a long list of things we needed to build the baking soda and soda bottle rockets. We had the things on hand for the baking soda rocket and played with that for a long time. It was a really clever activity that we both thoroughly enjoyed. The soda bottle rocket was much more complex and overwhelming activity that we have not done and likely will not.
What we liked best about the Xplore Box: I liked the baking soda rocket, but Rhett overruled me with his love for the astronaut ice cream which he DID share with his brothers.
Subscription Boxes for Kids
We had a ton of fun investigating these boxes. There is one more on the way from The Happy Trunk. I will update this post after it arrives {and then we really WILL have 10!}. I hope you can find the perfect subscription box for the kids on your list.

Well, yes, BookPeople is a must destination for any book lover. It's one of the best indie's I've ever been in. Almost right across the street is the flagship Whole Foods if you want a foodie experience. You can browse items and eat right in the store--most of the food is pretty darn good. So buy a book and then walk over to WF to read while you nosh.
Half Price books has several locations around town.
Alamo Cinema and Drafthouse is a local eat-in movie theater.
South Congress (or SoCo) is full of fun, funky, interesting, unusual shops and eateries.
2nd St is the hip locale for dining and shopping.
Write me back if there is something specific that you are looking for or looking to do and I'll try to give you my best insights.

Hi Kat,

Thank you so much for picking them out! I can't wait to read them.

Sorry about just getting back to you, but you should go see Castle Rock. It is in Trego County, south of Wakenney. Take highway 183 from north of Kinsly and drive to LaCrosse. You can tour the barbwire museum and eat lunch at Rush Center. (They had really good hamburgers at the little place on the crossroads) Be sure to notice the rock fence posts between Rush Center and LaCrosse. From there you can drive on up to Hays and Wakenney. Then go to see the Cathedral of the Plains in Victoria. You are living in an interesting part of the state - around Hutch. Go tour the salt mine. My sister says that is one thing that she has always wanted to do and has never done. And she lives there. In the summer go to the Czech Festival in Wilson, and take in Oktober Fest in Hays. If the Mennonites around Hutch are having a craft festival before Christmas go to that. Eat everything you can get your hands on. It will be good food. And it is an interesting way of life. Go eat cheese at Moundridge. You should drive through the Flint Hills. They are beautiful any time of year. Go to Marion and Florence and drive north to Council Grove. There is another highway through the Flint Hills that is wonderful. Go to Wamego and drive south on the highway 99 south through Alma and over to Eskridge and then to Emporia. Along the way you will see some fascinating rock buildings but the most interesting thing will be the piled rock fences. Go south of Hutch and follow Highway 54 through the Arkansas river valley. You will be following the Santa Fe Trail. Go spend an evening at Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Preserve and see the birds as they are migrating south this fall or north in late February and March.

What part of the state are you from? If you live in the eastern third there is lots to do. The western third not as much. Let me know where you are and I'll give you some hints. I hope that you took time to go to the Kansas State Fair. It isn't as big as the Iowa state fair, but it is a good one.
posted by benitastrnad at 8:02 pm (EST) on Nov 3, 2010
You are from Kansas? !!!!!!! Where? I am too. From Munden. That is straight north of Salina. Love that state. Love the Flint Hills. Oh gosh, I just love the prairie. Even when the wind blows.
You have a book club for 6th graders? Tell me about it. I have wanted to start one for that age group here in Tuscalosoa (Alabama, where I spend most of my time now since I work at the University of Alabama.) Can you tell me how you started the group and why.

Thanks for letting me know the book arrived safely (have been offline with computer problems for a while so couldn't reply sooner). Hope you enjoy it.

Dancingstarfish! The braincells started to work and I recall another novel in the semi-epistolary vein. We are so well-read here that quite probably you've sampled it, too, but here goes: UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE by Bel Kaufman. It was a big hit when I was growing up, and is basically a funny/charming/infuriating collection of memos, letters, announcements, and grafitti detailing a young teacher's first year in a tough NYC high school. Happy reading.

"Somebody said that it couldn't be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it."

I am a Research Assistant Professor at University of Virginia in the Department of Psychology. How people regulate their emotions, particularly in response to stress, has consequences that last a lifetime. My research utilizes experimental methods from computer science and statistical methods from dynamical systems to understand age-related changes in facial expressions of emotion during face-to-face conversation. I also study the consequences of normative sleep disruption on emotion regulation for parents and their children, which formed the foundation of my interest in studying nested, bi-directional regulatory systems that operate and develop on different time scales.
I earned a Ph.D. in developmental psychology at Indiana University, Bloomington under the mentorship of John Bates. In addition, I earned a M.S. in applied statistics under the mentorship of Stanley Wasserman. I continue to benefit from the guidance and mentorship of my postdoctoral advisors Steven Boker and John Nesselroade.

Lancaster is part of a project to map the research equipment across universities in the North could point the way to greater collaboration between universities and improved research links with industry.
The report 'Sharing for Excellence and Growth' by the N8 group of research-intensive universities, has identified opportunities for sharing the unique research equipment housed in each institution and wider benefits arising from this including: better training and recruitment of world class research talent, new and novel research ideas, and the development of leading-edge equipment through strategic relationships with technology manufacturers and suppliers.
The N8 project, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), is the first attempt to look at asset sharing amongst the N8 universities and is to be launched at an event on Wednesday 20th June 2012, attended by key government officials and leaders from industry.
Professor Chris Brink, Vice-Chancellor of Newcastle University, chairs the N8 group. He said: "Access to cutting-edge technology and infrastructure is vital to maintaining the position of the UK's leading science base and crucial to underpinning the UK's competitiveness and economic recovery.
"The report has identified ways that we can achieve this by working together as research intensive universities, and with industries, to give our leading research talent access to the best research equipment."
Professor Luke Georghiou, Vice-President, Research and Innovation at the University of Manchester who led the project said:
"The advance of science has been closely bound with the development and availability of instruments and facilities. The competitive position of the national science base in turn requires that researchers are equipped with up-to-date instruments of high quality. Such capability enables the science base to support the national goals of competitiveness, economic growth, well-being and sustainability both through its own work and in collaboration with industry.
"During the current period of severe financial constraint it is essential that the best use is made of research capital assets. This will not take away the need for continuing major investment in equipment but will help ensure that The UK stays at the cutting edge. This report describes work done by members of the N8 research partnership to develop a strategic approach to regional assets and to identify the circumstances under which sharing of equipment can provide efficiencies and catalyse opportunities for development."
Among the assets identified in the report is the new N8 High Performance Computing Facility based at Leeds University and shared by all N8 universities, the Bioscience Technology Facility at the University of York and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technology that exists across the universities.
Professor David Delpy, Chief Executive of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council said: "This report shows how institutions can work together to share facilities and equipment, enabling the continued support of internationally excellent scientific research at a time of limited funding. It is further evidence of our research base's ability to respond creatively to challenge and help the UK to grow from a position of strength."

What we do
The Westside Transportation Alliance works with its partners and Washington County employers to offer workplace services and programs that help employees commute to work by transit, carpool, vanpool, bicycling and walking. These services include transportation fairs, assistance with DEQ's ECO Rule compliance, ECO surveying, events, incentive programs, and participation on local and regional planning committees.
Service Area
The WTA provides programs and services to the urbanized areas of Washington County, including the Tualatin, Tigard, Beaverton and Hillsboro areas. The cities of Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Tigard, as well as Washington County, are supporting members of the WTA.
Our History
The Westside Transportation Alliance is a TMA, or transportation management association, that was formed in 1996 through collaboration with the City of Beaverton, Metro, and local area businesses. The WTA was formed in order to help companies become compliant with DEQ's Employee Commute Options (ECO) rule. This rule requires companies that have over 100 employees to reduce the number of people driving alone to work by 10% within three years of their baseline survey. In addition to ECO Rule support, the WTA was created to decrease the number of people driving alone to work in order to decrease congestion and green house gas emissions. In addition to the WTA, there are four other TMAs in the Portland metro region including: Lloyd TMA, Swan Island TMA, South Water Front TMA, and the Gresham TMA.
The WTA is a private 501(c)(6) nonprofit. The WTA receives funding through several grant sources including federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality funds through Metro and private foundation funds, such as the Kaiser Permanente Community Fund. In addition to grants, the WTA receives funding through membership dues as well as Washington County's MSTIP program.
Our Staff

She is interested in creating healthy sustainable communities and believes that accessible transportation options are a key component of such communities. She is excited to join the WTA team and help the organization carry out its work in Washington County.
Rae-Leigh joined the WTA in 2014 after moving to Portland to pursue a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning at Portland State University. Previously, she worked for the City of Columbus – Bartholomew County, Indiana Planning Department where she managed long-range planning projects and active transportation encouragement programs.

All my hatred to ponies who overwork Argonians!
((OOC: -.- So much work… it's ridiculous, I can't even continue with the Fanfic! *sigh* anyway, have a very quick sketch of annoyed Khazur in the meantime…))
OOC: Sorry about the extremely slow updates lately, I just got back to college and I need to restructure my time to fit in all my projects including this tumblr.
Khazur WILL be answering more questions, so don't wory, you'll see him around soon enough ^^
Yeah… I'm not looking at those bottles the same way again…
((OOC: Test skeevers are skeevers caught and bred for science! Don't go drowning wildlife near you >:( Khazur is a professional scoundrel and a fictional character, do not attempt this at home))
Wow! If only you guys could see this artifact! it's so powerful and valuable! Too bad the virtual dimension is now run by a horde of despotic monsters…
((Is it the 18th already? Thanks to thatbrony.tumblr.com for making me look at the date.
7 Hours until the strike begins. Feel free to reblog this if you are against censorship and love the internet as a medium for free speech and innovation.
- Ben))
Khazur: TO BATTLE! Let us not leave the beasts of censorship to chain us down!
Nothing really beats flame enchanted weapons for me! I mean, making and using them IS my special talent!
((OOC: Congratulations Anon! You've asked one of the "Special artwork questions"! I wonder how many you guys'll find!))
((OOC: Hey there followers… I was supposed to upload 3 nswers to the tumblr today… but I've been all over the place the whole day and I'm pretty sure I'll faint from exhaustion before finishing the answers… I'm sorry you've had to wait all this time… I promise the moment I get some energy in my system and some time I'll get down as many answers as I can… Sorry))
Hey, don't worry pops!
((OOC: don't call me "pops"…))
Whatever, don't worry! After fighting that huge Orc pony and almost dying… I'm in no condition to answer anything anyway!
That doesn't mean you guys can't keep on asking, though! You can go ahead and surely once thigs settle down I'll be able to get to your answers!
OOC: The fanfic starring Khazur is now updated with its third chapter! Here's the FiMFiction link in case you'd like to give it a read!
