Students raise the bar at Teen Court
September 27, 2013
Teen Court is now in session.
Beginning Thursday, students in eighth to 12th grade participated in the El Dorado County Court Teen Court Program, a program that allows students to experience legitimate juvenile court cases.
It is the students' job to determine the degree of sentencing of their peer, a minor who has already pleaded guilty, according to the Teen Court Program guidelines.
Students are taught the basics of courtroom etiquette, due process of the justice system and the importance of maintaining confidentiality of the cases with which they are involved.
"It's a lot of fun, and you're going to practice your persuasion and public speaking skills," said coordinator Jorge Orozco, who is also a county health education coordinator with El Dorado County's Mental Health & Human Services Agency.
Depending on the nature of the crime and whether the defendant is a first-time offender, they may be eligible to enter the Teen Court Program.
Attorneys meet with the minor and the offender's parents or guardian to determine the character of the offender.
Mentoring attorneys, people licensed to practice law in California who help with Teen Court, explained the basics of the court system and what the students will need to do in their respective assigned positions. Students will be prosecuting or defense attorneys, jurors, bailiffs or clerks.
Two of the students who returned this year have already been assigned as junior attorneys.
Michalea Martin, 16, is in her third year of the program and she said she wants to be an attorney when she gets older. Martin said she doesn't yet know what discipline of law she would like to practice.
"It's a fun system," Martin said. "I'm just kind of exploring it all. Any experience you get out of it is good. Tahoe is one of the only places that does a program like this, so I definitely recommend it (to other students)."
Students also said it's a great way to build confidence in public speaking.
"I expect I'll be pretty nervous, but we'll see," Daniel Hatfield, 14, said. "It will of course help with college."
Hatfield said he wants to be a veterinarian, but sees the program as a great way to learn about the justice system.
Max Morgan, 14, is in his second year of the Teen Court Program and also will be one of the junior attorneys.
"You get to learn about the system and everything," Morgan said, adding he wants to be an engineer, not a lawyer. "People respect you for doing it, and it's just all-around fun — a brain exercise, I guess."
Although it can be nerve-wracking for students to formally sentence their peers, the opportunity to assist in legal proceedings is an exciting prospect, students said.
"Just getting up there in the first place and just thinking about all the stuff is pretty easy in my opinion, but getting up there and having to think 'don't mess up, make sure you say everything right,' that's probably the hardest part," Morgan said.

The rural county of Story in Iowa, located to the north of Des Moines, is launching a planning process that will set a 20-year planning agenda for the county's 90,000 residents.
Ames Tribune
While some states are cutting back on transportation expenditures as funds run short, Iowa is not one of them, having passed a 10-cent gas tax increase that took effect March 1. New highway expansions are funded in addition to "fix it first."
The Gazette
Omaha sets out to prove that strong transit isn't just "a Portland thing or a New York thing."
Strong leadership from the governor may be the most important factor in passing state gas tax increases. But what happens when the governor opposes increasing the gas tax and the legislature supports it? Nebraska is about to find out.
AASHTO Journal
Transportation for America makes it easy to keep track of the seven states that have passed legislation to raise, or stem the fall of, gas tax revenue, with an in-depth look at how the first state, Iowa, increased fuel taxes.
T4America Blog
"The road usage charge is the logical evolution in the way we fund surface transportation," stated Patrick Jones, Executive Director of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association at their annual transportation conference in Portland.
This St. Louis Patch-Dispatch editorial analyzes the legislature as well as the bill to raise gas taxes two-cent a year for three years, taking aim at Republican House members who will be "automatic no votes." Illinois may also increase its gas tax.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Gov. Nathan Deal will sign legislation to increase gas taxes through a state sales tax conversion to an excise tax. With new weight-based truck fees, motel fees, and electric vehicle fees, it will add $1 billion in new transportation funding.
WJBF Augusta
The Idaho Trucking Association wants to reduce the state's $262 million road and bridge maintenance shortfall by passing a six-cent increase in the fuel tax over three years. The AAA opposes it because most of the bill will fall on motorists.
Idaho Press-Tribune
As cities and towns offer more incentives and planning support for local agriculture, there is still plenty of education and learning to be done to create and sustain local food systems. Enter the Agricultural Urbanism Toolkit.
Just before adjourning for the year, the Republican-controlled Utah House and Senate settled on a compromise—increase the gas tax by a nickel; the first hike in 18 years. Gov. Gary Herbert, also a Republican, has indicated he will sign the bill.
The Salt Lake Tribune
This has been an eventful week for gas taxes. To update two posts that appeared recently, Gov. Terry Branstad of Iowa signed legislation that increases the gas tax by 10-cents on March 1. In California, a board voted to decrease the tax by six cents.
KCCI Des Moines
If Republican Governor Terry Branstad signs the bi-partisan bill as signs indicate, the increase will be the most significant state transportation funding legislation since Republican Gov. Matt Mead of Wyoming signed a 10-cent increase two years ago.
KCCI Des Moines
A new development proposal in Des Moines called Bici Flats will provide one-of-a-kind amenities to residents who love to bike. But will it become a catalytic development for a downtown neighborhood?
A lawsuit by the Des Moines water utility could change the way the farming industry mitigates its environmental impacts.
A movement at the state and federal levels would take advantage of low oil prices to boost gas taxes to pay for infrastructure. Michigan, Iowa, and Utah proposals, and a change to the federal Corker-Murphy plan, are described below.
The Wall Street Journal
The Urban Land Institute proposes the blending of solutions in housing and public health as a method of increasing the resilience of cities threatened by natural disasters of all kinds.
Urban Land Institute
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad supports the Keystone XL Pipeline, as do most Republican leaders. Then again, it doesn't go through his state. Not so for the newly proposed Bakken Pipeline that cuts across the heart of Iowa. No word on his position yet.
The Des Moines Register
Bipartisan governors faulted Congress for failing to find long-term funds for the Highway Trust Fund, but how do their state records match their rhetoric aimed at raising federal gas taxes? Planetizen looks at some of the governors cited in the WSJ.
The Wall Street Journal
The Historic Millwork District Master Plan, approved in 2009, provides exemplary solutions in historic preservation, parking requirements, and environmental standards, all now rewarding the city of Dubuque, Iowa with economic development.

How Hillary Clinton's Sensitive Email Problem Might Have Been Avoided
All of Target's security protections sent out high-priority alarms as soon as the malware and the data breach were detected. The hackers left a broad trail behind them, including files containing the stolen credit card numbers and indications as to who and where the hackers were. The Target breach could have been stopped at any time before the data was removed from the network. Yet nothing was done. Apparently Target's security staff ignored the warnings and took no measures of any kind. The staff even turned off functions within the FireEye security system that would have removed the malware automatically. While the turn of events could cast serious questions about the Target staff, the reality appears to be that they simply didn't know what to do. This also seems to be the case with the OPM breach. Despite being chronically underfunded, there were some basic security moves that its IT staff could have done, if only they had thought to do so. In that case, simply following good security practices would have cost nothing, but doing so did require thought and effort, which do not appear to have been present at OPM. Of course, these are not the only instances in which human factors were a primary cause of a breach. They just happen to be two of which most people have heard. But as Target demonstrated clearly, buying the right products does you no good if you're too dumb or too untrained or too unmotivated to use them. And as OPM demonstrated, you don't need to have a ton of money to take appropriate security steps; you simply have to decide to take them.While the people at Secure Islands appear to have built an effective, easy-to-use solution to keeping email secure, that alone won't solve problems for organizations that will not or cannot use it. The first step in security has to be a desire to secure your data. Unfortunately, there's no product in the world that can implement that desire.
Likewise, securing the former secretary of state's ad hoc email system was possible, and might have prevented much of the questioning that's going on now. But that would only work in the presence of a desire for a properly secure system in the first place.

I like VA creeper, it's not bad here. Too dry for it to get really out

Virginia creeper is not a problem here. There is a bit of it, but
it is in no way invasive. I think it is quite pretty, and have seen
it used very effectively on a fence and trellis. The native vine
that sometimes destroys trees is the grape - but it is no way
as invasive and destructive as the Oriental bittersweet.

trumpet snail
i recently added a banana plant to my tank and, being a fool, i didn't inspect it this time for snails because i was in a rush. Three hours alter i found a trumpet snail on my glass and took it out. however, im pretty sure i saw a small one in my gravel but when i went for it, i ended losing it somewhere. Ive heard that trumpets can get out of control and take over my tank. I have no idea how many hitchhiked on that plant. Is there a fish to control them? Ive heard that loaches have trouble with them since they ahve that door thing. Also how fast do they breed?
post #2 of 8 Old 12-21-2008, 11:27 PM
Hmm well...you might never get rid of them now, unless you break the tank down completely. It's true - even the most enthusiastic snail-eating fish have trouble eating MTS because of their hard shells and tiny doors. You can control their population by putting something like a piece of cucumber in the tank overnight and removing it in the morning when it's covered in snails.
However, MTS are pretty much harmless. They don't eat plants, and they mostly stay hidden under your substrate. They keep it stirred for you, which is a good thing.

ive heard horror storied of trumpets covering people's glass and stuff. I caught the first one on the side pane of my tank on the OTHER side of where i planted the banana plant. However, the one i caught was very very small, like 3 millimeters? and the other one i saw was a similar size. The tank is empty rite now except for an apple snail... im introducing my betta in tehre soon, would a betta eat the snail? ive ehard of them being able to crush small snails and eat them
post #4 of 8 Old 12-22-2008, 03:19 AM
I do not think we should be prejudice on snail overpopulation. It is us who control their population, not them. Snails can only reproduce that fast if food supply is abundant. Leave your MTS to thrive. You can always remove anything in sight. MTS are actually beneficial to the tank by stirring the substrate thus preventing anaerobic pockets from forming which if disturbed, can produce hydrogen sulfide which is fatal to al aquatic creatures in your tank. The hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs and can cause acute respiratory problems to the fish and even snails.
Bettas have mouths that cannot crush the shells, let alone a hard shell from MTS. The story about them crushing shells is ridiculous.

i love the snails in my tank for they eat in dying leaves before they can rot too much and they stir up the gravel. The population only gets bad when you allow it to get bad. Think about it, how can the population get too high unless your feeding the snails and allowing them to eat? limit their food supply by not overfeeding your fish.
Hit me up Baby
post #6 of 8 Old 03-30-2009, 10:49 AM
+one for trumpet snails, If you don't overfeed the fish the snails will remain manageable. and as others have stated,they do provide a benefit to the aquarium. I recently switched from gravel to sand substrate in Discus tank and actually grabbed up a dozen or more from community tank, and placed them in the Discus tank to sift through the sand and eat any small amounts of food that cory's cant get to.
The most important medication in your fish medicine cabinet is.. Clean water.
post #7 of 8 Old 03-30-2009, 11:39 AM
I had the same thing happen to me with hitchiking snails on plants i ordered for my hexagon tank..........I havent noticed them overpopulating the tank.....This was an alternative i found that has worked for me, When im doing tank maintanence, i grab all the trumpets i see and throw them in my african cichlid tank...........My greshaki loves them!!........I thought they would have eaten them all, but have noticed a few survivors on the rocks in my african tank...........I dont think they will become a problem in either tank
post #8 of 8 Old 05-17-2009, 10:36 PM Thread Starter
well its been two months and i recently went and checked my tank at night to see how many were there and i only noticed around 20, so that would mean that its under control right? I never see them during the day.

Darren Clarke was nursing a pint of Guinness in the Bayview Hotel in Port Ballantrae, Co Antrim, watching on television, when his protégé Rory McIlroy had a wee spot of bother in a bunker on the second day of the Masters last month.
We'll come back to young Rory, but let's stick with the image of Clarke following the action from Augusta on the telly. The big Ulsterman has played in the Masters 10 times. It is only three years since he reached the 15th tee in the third round merely a shot behind the leader Phil Mickelson, with some of us beginning to congratulate ourselves for the prescience of our each-way tenner.
As it turned out, Clarke dumped it in the water at 15 and returned a miserable final-round 77 to finish tied for 22nd place, so the tenner went west, but this year not even Clarke went west. He is currently ranked 85th in the world, not good enough to play in the Masters, or in next week's Players' Championship at Sawgrass, another of his favourite tournaments. He didn't make the 2008 Ryder Cup team either. So, is Darren Clarke, at 40, over the hill?
It is a question one should phrase carefully. A warm, gregarious man, hugely generous of spirit and pocket, he has also been known to give vent to a volcanic temper. But on the day we meet he erupts only with bonhomie, befitting his role as an ambassador for Setanta's golf coverage. It is Setanta who have arranged for Clarke to play nine holes at Foxhills Golf Club in Surrey with me and another journalist, and if he would rather be somewhere else, he shows no sign. Even after my fellow hack and I have somehow contrived to hit our opening drives straight down the middle, followed by Clarke blocking his into the trees, he is all smiles and banter. We finish the hole with par fours, incidentally, while he manufactures a chip-and-run through the trees and cans a 10ft-putt for a birdie. An hour and 45 minutes later he almost drives the par-four ninth, then casually chips in for an eagle.
But it is tournament golf, not knockabouts at Foxhills, which he needs to illuminate with such brilliance. "My game's not bad," he says. "My good is still very good. But my average is not good enough, that's what's killing me. I'm working away like a trouper, in the gym and on the practice ground, so I'm putting the hours in. It's really frustrating."
He concedes that it was painful, in many ways, to watch the Masters from Port Ballantrae, but insists that his desire to win one of golf's four major titles remains as keen as ever. "I'm far from done yet," he says, big brown eyes glittering, as if daring me to contradict him. "Mark O'Meara didn't win [a major] till he was 41, and I won twice [the Asian Open and the KLM Open] last year, so I can still play. But the reason I fell out of the world's top 50 is that I didn't play well enough, and that was due to personal circumstances for a while [the death in 2006, from breast cancer, of his wife Heather]. I hadn't been out of the top 50 for maybe 12 years, but when you're outside it's much more difficult to get back in."
The Masters offered encouragement in the form of its new champion Angel Cabrera, only a year younger than Clarke, similarly fond of a cigar, a pie and a pint, and even less fond of the gym, where Clarke now pushes himself daily. "It was great to see Angel win," he says. "He's got a great temperament. When he pitches up for tournaments he's so laid-back that you never know whether he's trying or not. When I play with him we curse together in Spanish. I know all the words." He beams. "I know words I shouldn't know in every language around the world."
One or two of them, from his native tongue, were doubtless uttered when McIlroy seemingly kicked the sand in pique after fluffing a bunker shot on the 18th at Augusta. "As soon as he did it I thought, 'What are you doing?' He was maybe a bit fortunate [not to be penalised] but the rules officials looked at it the right way."
McIlroy was a prodigy of 12 when Clarke first saw him, one of a group of talented Irish youngsters invited by the Darren Clarke Foundation to spend a weekend under the great man's scrutiny. Quietly, Clarke gave McIlroy his phone number, and told him to phone any time if he wanted more advice.
How often has he called? "Not that much. Bits and pieces here and there. Rory stood out straight away that weekend for his talent, but you're not always sure at that age whether they can move on. He has adapted to professional golf very easily, which is not always straightforward. And I'm sure his talent will give him everything he wants, although there are times when you have that much ability that you can press too hard. And you guys are heaping too much pressure on him. Just let him play."
Clarke has become used, these last few months, to fielding more questions about McIlroy than about himself. He denies that it irks him, indeed he volunteers with a grin that he can no longer compete with the teenager for length off the tee, which is all the more remarkable considering how beefy he is, and how slight McIlroy is. But then beef has nothing to do with it. "He has really fast hands, that's all I can tell you. Other than that, you'll have to ask a swing coach."
We are now in the Foxhills bar, where Clarke himself shows pretty swift hands in relation to a plate of onion rings. At Augusta, my press colleague ventures, fearlessly keeping McIlroy to the fore, Gary Player marvelled at the youngster's swing. "Gary marvels at everyone's swing," says Clarke, with a dash of vinegar not intended for the onion rings. "As I say, I'm not a swing coach. But yeah, it looks great."
How good was he at the tender age of 19? "I was plus-four [handicap], at Wake Forest [on a golf scholarship]. I could play a bit. But Rory's progress has a lot to do with the whole Tiger [Woods] thing. When I came on tour there was no Tiger. These days they watch him, they say, 'This is what he does', and more and more kids go down that route. The Swedes have been doing it for a long time. And that has moved everything on. They're ready to play at a much younger age. For me, when I turned pro, the world No 1 was Seve [Ballesteros], or maybe Greg [Norman]. There wasn't the same focus."
Still, Norman is another who shows that there is life after 40, and indeed after 50, in major championship golf. And Clarke's place is secure in next month's US Open, as it is in our own Open Championship at Turnberry, another course he enjoys, although if he could play only one course for eternity it would be his beloved Royal Portrush, on the wild Antrim coast. "Hitting five-irons 120 yards," he says, "that's the kind of golf I love. Shots along the ground. I love all that."
Five-irons 120 yards? Shots along the ground? I can do that, albeit not always deliberately. Clarke means the unique vagaries and challenges of links golf, which is where his colossal innate talent really should by now have yielded something even better than his three top 10 finishes in the Open. Instead he has watched as a less instinctive but more driven golfer from the Emerald Isle, Padraig Harrington, has (twice) lifted the Claret Jug. He nods when I refer to their differences. "Yeah, he'd go and chip and putt while I'd go for a pint. I'm trying to chip and putt a bit more now."
But with all that, of course, he must juggle single parenthood. He missed a tournament in Korea the other week purely because he wanted to be at home for eight-year-old Tyrone, his other son Conor, aged 10, having just started at boarding school. And he tells me that it was "the highlight of my career so far" to win last year's KLM Open by four shots with his sons standing by the 18th green. "They'd never seen me win before. I was so proud to have them there, seeing me doing what I do."
That win, alas, failed to persuade the Ryder Cup captain, Nick Faldo, to give Clarke the wild card most people thought he had in the bag. "I thought I'd done enough," he says, "but there are no sour grapes."
All the same, the disappointment was acute, especially as he had so richly rewarded Ian Woosnam's wild-card selection two years earlier, scarcely a month after Heather's death, and it is hard to imagine golf ever producing a more poignant spectacle than Clarke being cheered to the heavens to the first tee, then somehow unleashing a perfect drive. "I could have topped it, blocked it, snap-hooked it," he says now. "Nobody knew what I was going to do, including me."
Having not gained automatic selection for either of the last two Ryder Cup teams, he is determined to give it his best shot once the ranking points start for next year's event, he says. And he believes that Colin Montgomerie will be a fantastic captain, which is not surprising, for he was on the committee that made the appointment. I tell him that I felt sorry for the overlooked Sandy Lyle. "Yes, so did I," he says. "Sandy's a really, really good man. But anyone can miss out. Maybe I will one day, though I'd love to do it. It'd be great to do it in America. The American crowds have always taken to me, maybe because I smoke a cigar, have a pint..."
A pint, in fact, for every year of his life during the two-day celebration of his 40th birthday last August. Moderation has never been Clarke's thing, and his plummet through the rankings has not altered his high- flying lifestyle, which is manifest in the private jet, shared with his good pal Lee Westwood, on standby at Farnborough airport. He lives the life of a multiple major-winner, without the multiple majors. But there's no arguing with him when he says it's not too late.

Java 9 Faces Delay Until July 2017
The chief architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle has proposed a four-month delay on the release of Java 9 until July 2017.Oracle announced that Java 9's release may once again be delayed and is now expected to be in July 2017. In a message on the OpenJDK mailing list this week, Mark Reinhold, chief architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle, said the team needs more time to work on Project Jigsaw, which aims to modularize the platform to make it scalable to a wider range of devices, make it easier for developers to construct and maintain libraries and large applications and improve security, maintainability and performance, Oracle said. Reinhold proposed that the schedule for Java Development Kit (JDK) 9 should be extended for four months such that general availability will now be targeted for July 2017. "If no such objections are raised by 16:00 UTC next Tuesday, 20 September," this will be adopted as the new schedule for JDK 9, Reinhold said.
Reinhold had sent out a similar message in December 2015, when he said JDK 9 would be delayed for six months and was scheduled to be released in March 2017 rather than September 2016 as had been expected.

Member of Knesset Dalia Itzik (Kadima) introduced a bill, Sunday, that would make free public transportation available to those serving in the Israel Defense Forces, no matter what hour, destination or length of trip.
The bill followed the initiation of a ban on free rail service to soldiers between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m. Sunday morning, initiated because of overcrowding on Israel Railways.

Why Modern IT Security Is Like Aviation—100 Years Ago
Accomplished pilot and former Black Hat GM Trey Ford details the lessons the aviation industry learned "in blood" that can be applied to IT security.In every new industry, there is a period of learning where best practices are established and future success is assured. In that respect, there are many parallels between the best practices for safety and security that the aviation industry has learned over the years and ones that could serve to benefit the modern IT security landscape. In a keynote address at the SecTor security conference in Toronto on Oct. 21, well-known security expert Trey Ford (pictured), who currently works as a global security strategist at Rapid7, detailed the parallels between lessons learned in aviation and IT security. "I think information security is a very nascent space and is very similar to what aviation was like 100 years ago," said Ford, former Black Hat general manager who is also a pilot. In the early days of aviation, there were no rules, and for the most part, the same is true for IT security today, Ford noted.
"We're making this up as we go," he said.

I will be driving from Austin,Texas to Guatemala the last week of November and the first two weeks of December. I will be entering the country on the Pacific side and leaving on the Caribbean Sea side. I know where and what I want to do in the country, but I have not figured out places to stay or how long. I will be visiting 1) Lake Atitlan, 2) Chichicastanengo, 3) Copan 4) Semuc Champay, 5) Antigua, 6) Tikal, and 7) Rio Dulce Gorge. There are couple of other place I would like to try and see, but not sure if I will have enough time. They are Quetzaltenango, Archaeological Park and Ruins of Quirigua, and Takalik Abaj. I may have planned to much with adding the last three, but the more I read about Guatemala the more places and things I want to do. First am i planning to much to do and should I just do the first seven things on my list and not worry about adding anything else? Are there things on my list that I should drop and add something else? I would also like to ask your help on finding places to stay. All I really care about is if the place is clean, the staff is cool and it is safe. I would be traveling with one other person and would like to keep the prices of rooms to no more then 100 dollars a night. I have been looking on line and have found most places are no more then then about 50 dollars a night, but there might be some cool or interesting place out there to stay at for a little more so I do not paying a little more. I would like to try and stay in places that cost no more then 50 dollars a night or less, but a little more money is ok. Also how long would you stay at each place that i am planning on visiting? One last thing are there any good sites on Guatemala I should check out? Thank you for all your help and information.

I think you will find that you can spend much less than $100 per night and still find some very nice hotels in Guatemala and Honduras(Copan). My favorite place in Guatemala is lake Atitlan where we spend the most time. ChiChi can be done in a day trip from the lake but try to go on market days (Thursday and Sunday). Copan is around 5 hours from Antigua and the roads are good by CA standards. I would only spend a couple days at Copan, the ruins can be seen in one day and the little town of Copan Ruinas is very nice but small. Antigua has many sights to see so may want to spend several days there. While in Antigua, do the hike up Pacaya volcano, an experience not to be missed. Tikal is a wonderful Mayan site, a few days there would be great and spend some time in Flores.

I don't think you'll have any trouble finding accommodation in your price range. We spent 11 nights in Guatemala in early December. We had 1 pricy night at the end (Santo Domingo in Antigua - totally worth it for our last night) and that was $116 + tax. But the rest of the time our rooms were under $50 / night.
Report Abuse
My 2 cents worth - I would plan to overnight in ChiChi the night before the market (there are 2 market days - Sunday is larger, I believe). I liked the activity and the atmosphere of the night before versus arriving after the market is in full swing.
Report Abuse
Any suggestions for hotels in that area. It sounds like fun.

I'm really glad we chose to stay overnight in Chichicastenango. It was a blast seeing the set up and hanging out on the balcony above the gorgeous produce market in the commercial building. We enjoyed the morning market and church activities and headed out before the day trippers arrived. My photos and travelogues are below if you're interested. Happy trails!

You helped me so much with my last trip.. and most likely will this time too. Where did you stay in Chichi? Do you remember. I just looked up a few places on trip advisor. Did you get a transfer from where you were staying?
Just planning our trip. We still need to get our flights and the prices seem to be going up. I am hoping to take my 16 year old neice and friends. We will only be there six nights so I am just planning on Antigua and of course the lake. What would you suggest for six nights? I have already been to Tikal so I think we will skip it this time. We are also on a bit of a budget. We are planning on going in August. How is the weather at that time? Thanks in advance.

I stayed at Hotel Chuguila (in LP guide) - a mid price colonial spot with a courtyard and a pretty good restaurant. I was interested in the posting above that mentions 'hanging out on the balcony and watching the activities'. Before I read that, I was very happy with my above hotel!
We had a streetfront room very near the office and I remember being awakened by the clop-clopping of horses, or whatever pack animals. VERY early in the am. So be aware.
AND - they have many other options for rooms that aren't next to the sidewalk.

Just checked out your pictures hopefulist and enjoyed them very much. My SIL previously stayed at Hotel Giron and liked it.
If you only have 6 days, maybe 2 in Antigua (maybe the first and the last) 2 at Lake Atitilan and overnight at ChiChi.
All this talk is making me want to go back!
Report Abuse
I don't think I'd overnight at Chichi if I only had 6 nights - too much moving around. You could take in the produce market even if you didn't overnight; it was a highlight of our trip for me. My Guatemala 2007 collection has a travelogue with live links to the places we stayed - loved them all. Happy trails!

Thanks for everyone suggestions.

For as many times I have looked at your pictures I had never noticed your travel blog. I can't wait until I get a chance to read it. Are you heading back this year?
Report Abuse
I'm heading back to Copán with a group of educators in tow to study at Ixbalanque, then my husband is flying down and we'll have between 2 and 3 weeks on the Bay Islands. Here's the blog address for that one if you're interested:http://liveandlearninca.blogspot.com/
I'm planning to do a similar trip summer of 2009 but we'll be in Guatemala for the 2 weeks of study, then I'll head to Belize and family will fly down for a few weeks. There are so many countries in Latin America I want to visit but I keep go back over and over to ones I already love!
Happy trails!
Report Abuse
I try not to repeat countries either but I also have gone back to places I love. Traveling for me isn't about getting a different stamp in my passport but enjoying where I am.. plus everytime I go to someplace I have already been my experience is still very different.
My friends loved Honduras so much that we may go back in Feb. It really is the perfect place to be in a cold winter. I just wish that I could take larger chunks of time but for now a week at a time is really all I can manage.

But at least you get to go frequently! I feel so very fortunate to get to travel most summers, but rarely go anyplace fancy in between. Keep us posted!

I visited Phoenix with my daughters and pup for some winter sun. As avid hikers, we headed for Camelback, only to learn it is not dog friendly. We were advised to go to the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. It was the perfect length hike with wonderful views over the city.
Fantastic little hike right in the city! Beautiful views of the city and other mountains from the top of Two Bits Peak. Lots of people and dogs. Pretty rocky on the trail. Not too hard at the beginning but becomes steep closer to the top. Very nice! Worth a visit!
Took a Ranger guided tour courtesy of the Phoenix Library and learned many aspects of safe hiking in this area, including bringing enough water, walking sticks to keep snakes at bay, etc. There were plenty of opportunities for taking some beautiful photos and the vistas were worth it! Can't wait to do more hiking soon!
I really enjoy walking around in this park. You can hike on the trails or just walk on the paved side walk. It is an awesome place to check out the desert in the city.
Lots of great hiking and biking routes. Pretty well marked. Some of the routes are more challenging than others. They can be a full day or a short one hour back and forth. Check to see which you want to do.
Be sure to visit the visitor center at North Mountain Preserve. A gem in the desert. There is a calendar of events too. There is so much activity here to indulge yourself with....
Took a nice hike to celebrate the new year. I am used to taking long walks around the neighborhood, but the elevation on this hike of almost 600 feet causes a little huffing and puffing. Nevertheless you can walk the nearly one mile up at your own pace and enjoy the vista views when you take a moment to catch...
My 7 year old son and I climbed some ways up the mountain. We enjoyed it and the experience of being up so high and being able to see miles around us. What an awesome view and experience. Definitely would've gone up higher but couldnt due to bum knee. Could you imagine the spectacular view up higher? If you can,...
We hiked the Quartz Ridge trail (8A), which was 3.4 m out and back. It took approx. 2 hours but that was mostly due to traffic, picture opportunities, and puppy breaks. Without kids or puppies it could take as little as one hour if you're in good shape. Anyway, it was a lovely December morning and there were great views...

What People Are Saying About Hawaii
Very informative and the time was managed well
Our guides were excellent - good team. What I enjoyed most was the time they spent telling us about the history behind the flows and the future expectations. I highly recommend the tour. Well worth the price.
Fun, relaxing, pleasant, safe and educational bike tour
This was a great tour with Steve, our geologist bike tour guide and George, our van driver and gear guy. Steve and George were most pleasant and helpful. The weather was cool and misty and some rain but expected when in a rainforest area. The lunch at the end of the tour was tasty with great scenery while overlooking the basaltic cliffs with crashing ocean. The bike portion of tour was easy paced with two short hills that were challenging for some but you can walk up the hill if necessary. We stopped frequently at points of interest around the volcano.The bikes are hybrids with plenty of gears, hand brakes, comfy seats and good quality. Overall memorable tour and highly recommend it.

text: Brain Implant Will Let Amputees Move Individual Fingers on Prosthetics With Thoughts AloneGeorge Dvorsky2/16/16 3:10pmFiled to: cyberneticsprostheticsfine motor controlassistive devicesfuturismtechnologybiologyscienceneuroscience107EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink GIF For the first time ever, researchers have successfully demonstrated a system that enables a person to move the individual fingers of a prosthetic hand using just their thoughts. Advertisement To test the device, scientists at Johns Hopkins University recruited the help of an epilepsy patient who was preparing for surgery to pinpoint the source of his seizures. (The patient himself was not missing a limb.) The scientists used the same electrode array implanted in his brain to control the prosthetic limb. After mapping the parts of the brain responsible for individual finger control movements, the researchers programmed the prosthesis to move the corresponding finger. The details of the experiment can now be found in the Journal of Neural Engineering. Credit: Guy Hotson "We believe this is the first time a person using a mind-controlled prosthesis has immediately performed individual digit movements without extensive training," said senior author Nathan Crone in a press statement. "This technology goes beyond available prostheses, in which the artificial digits, or fingers, moved as a single unit to make a grabbing motion, like one used to grip a tennis ball.The array of 128 electrode sensors was placed on the part of the brain responsible for hand and arm movements. A computer program was used to interpret the data streaming from the implant, triggering the individual fingers to move.Initial accuracy of the system was 76 percent, but refinements allowed the researchers to bump it up to 88 percent. The part of the brain that controls the pinkie and ring fingers overlaps (which explains why many people move them together). By coupling these two fingers together, the researchers were able to improve overall accuracy. Advertisement No pre-training was required for the patient to familiarize himself with the device, and the whole thing took less than two hours. It's all very exciting and impressive, but the researchers say it'll still be many years and many more refinement before we see the technology move to prime time.

Brunswick County now has a new senator in the state Senate, and it's Republican Bill Rabon.
Unofficial results show Rabon, of Southport, won the District 8 Senate seat with 46,117 votes from Brunswick, Columbus and Pender counties.
BOLIVIA—Republicans have won both open seats on the Brunswick County Board of Education.
Incumbent board member Charlie Miller of Southport reclaimed his District 3 seat with 24,431 votes, according to the unofficial results. His challenger, Democrat Deanna Antonio of Southport, received 14,080 votes.
A Raleigh man was killed in a single-car wreck Saturday night in Supply.
According to Sgt. T.T. Daniels of the N.C. Highway Patrol, Silvestre Rogel Vazquez, 52, died after being ejected from the vehicle after it wrecked on Mount Pisgah Road near Cedar Grove Road. The wreck happened about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30.
Daniels said Vazquez's son, Silvestre Rogel Gandarilla, 24, of Raleigh, was driving the vehicle north when he overcorrected and ran off the right side of the road. The vehicle overturned twice and struck a cable box.
The message for one local group is "to step into the light" and "choose right."
The Brunswick County Branch of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) had its 2010 annual Freedom Fund Banquet on Thursday, Oct. 28, at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness and Aquatics Center on the campus of Brunswick Community College.
With more than 100 guests in attendance, the banquet focused on the celebration of freedom and youth while looking to the future and working together as a community.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—Town officials are satisfied with the results of the concrete canal dredging that occurred almost two years ago, and say it was needed in order to keep canals navigable.
The canals, which average 6 feet deep and about 75 feet wide, were dredged 25 feet down the center, according to survey results provided by the town. The "T" portion of the canals were dredged 20 feet in the center, because they are narrower, Mayor Debbie Smith explained.
The access canal that leads to the Intracoastal Waterway was centrally dredged 40 feet.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County, it turns out, no longer likes Mike.
In the race to represent North Carolina's 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, incumbent Democrat Mike McIntyre won his re-election bid in the 10-county district.
But in Brunswick County, McIntyre was defeated by Republican challenger Ilario Pantano, who, around 10 p.m. Tuesday conceded to McIntyre.
The numbers just weren't there, GOP party officials said about his concession.
Brunswick County Sheriff John Ingram will remain at the helm of the sheriff's office for another four years.
Ingram received more than 70 percent of the vote to hold off Democratic challenger Elizabeth "Rendy" Lewis for the county's chief law enforcement officer.
At press time Tuesday, unofficial results showed Ingram received 27,890 votes, or 70.5 percent, to Lewis' 11,649 votes, or 29.4 percent.
For the first time in 20 years, Brunswick County will have a new district attorney.
In the May primary, Democrat Butch Pope defeated five-term incumbent Rex Gore, and Tuesday night, Republican Jon David defeated Pope.
David will represent North Carolina's 13th Prosecutorial District, which includes Brunswick, Columbus and Bladen counties, as district attorney.
It looks like the faces on the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners will remain the same for at least the next two years.
Incumbent commissioners Phil Norris and Marty Cooke both held off their challengers to regain their seats. In the District 1 race, Norris, a Republican, bested former board of education member Ray Gilbert, a Libertarian, 27,400 votes to 6,565 votes.
BOLIVIA—Incumbent Randy Sullivan of Shallotte and Tony Street of Supply have been elected to fill two open posts as Brunswick County Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors.
Unofficial vote tallies Tuesday night were 19,981 or 32.61 percent for Sullivan, 15,621 or 41.71 percent for Street, and 12,124 or 25.31 percent for a third candidate, Robert G. Ward of Winnabow.
The nonpartisan posts are for four-year terms. Sullivan was the only incumbent candidate.

So what does our day look like? For starters, we personally do not follow a set schedule and the clock poses as just a suggestion. For some homeschooling families, following a set schedule with specific times works for them, and that's wonderful, but families need to realize that what works for one family may not work for another and that's fine too. What I do have, is a visual list of the subjects that ideally I would like to cover for that week. It's also an easy way for the kids to pick and choose how they would like to schedule their day. Like any teacher in the classroom, with children on multiple levels of learning, I walk around and go from one child to the next and offer assistance or guidance when needed, as well as teaching subjects in "group learning". No, things are not always calm, or go according to plan, but we definitely do our best. By the end of the year when I look back, as I make sure the portfolios are in order, I am always pleasantly surprised with how much we have learned and how much we have grown as a family.
Sometime during the summer, before the start of the new school year, I take out my two large wall calendars. One calendar is for the family which has everything from doctor appointments to art classes on it. The other calendar is the one I base our homeschool year of learning around. I begin by marking in all of the Jewish holidays (if they are not already listed), then I fill in all of the Chassidic holidays or special days. (I also take note of the weekly Torah portion.) Once that is done, I pencil in which books and resources I plan to use for teaching the upcoming special days as well as when I would like to start. These include books on the significance of the actual days, laws and customs, history books and even science books. You would be surprised at how much history and science alone you can cover this way, all while keeping a beautiful connection to Torah.
There is a secular History website that my kids have thoroughly enjoyed over the years. I allow them to pick what interests them, and after we have disgussed it, we write down what they have learned. and add it to their portfolio. www.havefunwithhistory.com
Another incredible resource that a mother recommended to me a couple of years ago, is www.learningally.org . If you have any child in the family with any sort of reading disability or learning disability, this is a gold mind. There are hundreds of books covering every and any subject for all ages. I can't recommend this site highly enough. I very much prefer a Charlotte Mason way of learning, so this has also been an easy and relaxing way to enhance the children's education. www.amblesideonline.org offers a free curriculum for every grade which I also like to use as a guidline. Keep in mind that when they say "year 1", "year 2" etc... it does not necessarily go by grade, but rather by level.
For Geography, my all time favorite is to use a variety of different maps with musical audio CD's by Kathy Troxel. I knew I was onto something a few years ago when my then, preschooler and first grader, proudly began to sing all of the Northern border, Southern border, Easter border and Pacific states.
When any kind of educational audio CD is playing, it is also a great time to encourage quiet creative play or art. I try to include which different audio CD's would be appropriate for certain times during the months on our homeschool calendar, ie, stories of Chassidim, holidays, weekly Torah portion etc, but I have not done this every year. Sometimes it's just easier to go according to my iTunes playlist that I put together according to the Jewish months. Even when the kids or mommy are feeling under the weather, they can be logging school hours from audio books and educational CD's.
For foreign language we have chosen to stick with the Hebrew language, however, since having special needs kids, a few years ago we have added sign language to our curriculum as well. There are a few really nice sign language apps, but my absolute favorite way to teach kids sign language is to use the Signing Time videos by Two Little Hands Productions. I have used them for years, and only recently discovered that for $10 per month or $100 per year, you get full access to their entire DVD collection. Her DVD's have been a life saver for us. www.signingtime.com/subscribe Who knows, maybe one of our children will even decide to take this further.
A wise homeschool mother once told me that about every six months, she stops to re-evaluate the growing needs of her family or if they need to adjust or change the curriculum in any way. One year I was so excited to follow a specific book series for Jewish history that I had found on Artscroll. It worked great, but about halfway through the school year, I sensed the kids needed a change. One of the beauties of homeschooling is that you can adjust things as needed as soon as you feel the need, whether it's the curriculum, the room where your typically do your homeschooling or the seating arrangements. We typically float from the dining room table, to the couch, to the carpet, to quiet reading in bed, and in the warmer months, to the great outdoors. (One of my boys finished reading most of a specific book that I had assigned him, while lying down on the outdoor trampoline.)
What would my advice be to homeschooling families just beginning on this journey? Relax! I definitely put too much pressure on myself in the beginning and my expectations were too high. I was tense, the kids were tense and academics definitely took the front row seat in the house, when there is so much more to homeschooling then that. There is Midos, character, responsibility, household chores, Derech Eretz, connecting with each other, working on family dynamics, being a mentch and simply cultivating a love for Hashem and His Torah.
No matter which path you choose, whether it be homeschooling or traditional schooling, may we all be blessed to have Shalom, peace in our home, nachas from each other, a home full of love, laughter, joy and simcha. May we be able to raise children who constantly feel the love of Hashem, see the beauty of Torah experience it's warmth and understand its depth. May we merit to welcome Moshiach speedily in our days.

When you first walk around the bend and peer at the Ramses II temple it is one of those amazing moments in life that leaves you speechless. If you think the outside is impressive - and it is - the interior is the pièce de résistance. Bewitching and fascinating.
We visited through a MemphisTour trip. The 3-hour drive from the Sonesta St George boat was well worth it. The site is amazing!
The trip to Abu Simbel is around 3 hours from Aswan, but it worth it and more. Amazing temple, how huge, how large, how come this was engraved by humans more around
3000 years ago!! Also the location of the temple is outstanding.
Truly no words could describe it. Must see, don't miss it for anything
It is good to see the Rearranged ancient wonder, however the staff inside the temple complex are extremely rude.
It is an Amazing temple, totally cut into the rock, has been moved recently in order to raise it higher than the water level after the High dam built.
In October and February 22nd special event happens called the sun perpendicular on the Sanctuary of Ramesses II's Temple. Make sure you'll visit Abu Simbel if you are near Egypt on...
Plan your trip on two of the rare days in year when the sunlight reach inside the temple on the temple-god. These are 21st Feb and 20th Sep. Confirm before you plan.
Cameras not allowed inside temple. Fabulous pictures can be taken outside.
Lake Nasser is amazing and very huge. 2-3hours is sufficient time if you are fond of photography....
The first view of the Temple was as we flew into the small airport, and it was just as I had pictured it from National Geographic Magazines going back to the 1960's when it was saved from the rising waters of Lake Nasser, created by the new Aswan High Dam. But nothing could prepare for the wow factor on actually...
This temple complex is amazing and deserves at least 2 hours to explore properly. A well informed guide here is an absolute must as the history and details of everything to be found can be overwhelming.
The statues of Ramses in this temple are just massive.
To get to this temple you need to fly from Aswan or Luxor, in 45 to 60 minutes, but regardless of the hassle of getting there, this would be, in my opinion, one of the 4 must important sites to visit in all of Egypt.
This temple was relocated when...
This really world heritage. Would be a shame not to go there when you are around.
I like even more the smaller of the 2.
Did you feel safe traveling to Abu Simbel? My parents and I are heading to Egypt in May 2016 and want to do this tour but are just a bit hesitant with all the turmoil. Which would be the better way to go, flying or driving? Thanks so much!
I m travelling with my family from india to visit abu simbel .
Is if safe these days to visit ?
Hi everyone,
I am wondering how to travel to Abu Simbel from aswan by convoy for a cheap price? My hotel is quoting a very expensive price and I'm wondering how some travellers were able to do it for 75-85EP.
Would you let me know which hotel you contacted to arrange this?
Thanks everyone! I appreciate your help!
abu simbel sounds interesting but why do u have to travel there under army protection??? and i heard there is a 3 hours ferry ride to it as well.. is that so.
Hey Mika, Could you Please let me know the tour operator name or number for booking ?
