A selection of ever-popular Blyton short stories for the younger reader, with clear text and illustrated throughout.
About The Author:
Enid Blyton, 1896 - November 28, 1959 Enid Blyton was born in London in 1896. She was educated in a private school and thought that she would become a musician until she realized that writing was her passion. She attended Ipswich High School where she trained to become a kindergarten teacher and eventually opened her own school for infants. Blyton's first poem was published in 1917, entitled "Have You-" which appeared in Nash's Magazine. In 1922, her first book of verses was published, entitled "Child Whispers." In 1926 she accepted a position editing the children's magazine "Sunny Stories" as well as writing the column "Teachers World." Blyton's first full length children's book was published din 1938 and was titled "The Secret Island." After working on the column for years, Blyton quit "Teachers World" in 1945 and also ended her stint as editor of "Sunny Stories" seven years later. In 1953 she started her own children's magazine called "The Edith Blyton Magazine" which featured stories about her characters and news on the clubs formed around them. Her most famous stories were those of the "Famous Five" The Magazine closed in 1959. In the 50's and 60's Blyton was criticized for the language in her book, for being to simple, but some 300 are still in print today. Blyton has published over 600 books in the course of her career. Enid Blyton died in her sleep on November 28, 1968. She was 72 years old.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
According to hometown ballers, the only basketball game in town -- even when the Suns are playing at home -- takes place on Sunday nights at Encanto Park. With the aged Veterans' Memorial Coliseum as the backdrop, play alongside the best local talent from the high school, college and neighborhood levels during the Sunday jam session. The games have a playoff-level intensity, where grandstands located at the side of the court are filled with up to 100 curious onlookers. Back in the day, it wasn't surprising to see former Suns players Kevin Johnson and A.C. Green.
Today, the urban legends are locals trying to improve their game on one of Encanto's three full courts. The complex, which also houses volleyball and racquetball courts, is open Mondays through Fridays from 5 to 10 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Equipment checkout is available, and admission is always free.
The only thing that keeps us away from a poker table is our serious and committed relationship with money. (Well, that and a large man with a concealed weapons permit who really hates losing.) Lucky for us, we found the Horse & Hound on a Saturday night, where two free poker tournaments -- run by the Nationwide Poker Tour (www.pokerplayersinc.com) -- start at 7 and 10 p.m. with at least a half-dozen tables of Texas Hold 'Em open to anyone who signs up.
What's the point of playing poker without money involved? Actually, there is none. While it doesn't cost a thing to play at the Horse & Hound (unless you take in the happy hour specials that offer a dozen wings for $3 and $2.25 well drinks), it does pay to win. Folks who make it to the final table earn points toward a paid seat in monthly cash tournaments at Las Vegas' Bellagio and, ultimately, a $10,000 spot in the annual World Series of Poker. Just be careful with those pocket jacks in your hand at the H&H: Because it ain't real money, your fellow wanna-be World Series champs have been known to call your "all-in" with an off-suit 7-2 (statistically, the worst starting hand in Hold 'Em), and score a full boat on the river. Sure, you're out, but at least you're not down.
Other casinos might throw a gimmick or two your way to get you through the door for a poker tournament, but none offers the action you'll find at Talking Stick, home to the best cash players in the Valley.
With 45 tables of nonstop poker (most tables offer Texas Hold 'Em, but you'll also find Omaha and seven-card stud), you're still bound to wait 20 minutes to get a seat. If you're learning and aren't willing to lose this month's mortgage, play a 3-6 table (that's $3 for an opening bet with a $6 raise to start per hand).
Or if you're looking to brush up on your skills before heading to Vegas for the next World Series of Poker, take your chances at the 75-150 table, the casino's highest limit. Talking Stick also hosts morning and evening tournaments Monday through Friday, with buy-ins from $60 to $130, and first-prize payouts as big as $5,500. But get in on those tournaments early; they're usually limited to the first 120 who register, and they sell out quickly.
For Valley urbanites who think dog tracks like Turf Paradise are just too doggone far away, there's an abundance of off-track-betting sites scattered across our sprawl. These havens for bombastic betting behavior are usually found inside assorted sports bars and taverns and allow wagering on races at numerous dog and horse tracks both locally and around the nation, with remote video feeds of all the action. Gallagher's bar and restaurant, located in north Phoenix, is particularly entertaining, as wager-friendly folk from all walks of life gather in an expansive, smoke-filled side room. Gambling-prone grannies edge their walkers close to the wall filled with video screens, while thirtysomething tweaker types howl desperately for certain pooch es to place first, until the long shots finish back in the pack and bet tickets are torn up in disgust.
By the end of the night, broken peanut shells, torn-up tickets and shattered dreams litter the floor, as a few holdouts remain to sample one of Gallagher's particularly delectable desserts, consisting of a mound of ice cream covered with fudge on top of a just-baked chocolate chip cookie. It's tasty and helps take the edge off the realization that you just blew your rent money on some dog-and-pony show.
Take a break from the strip malls, the freeways, the dog eat dog of the real world, and break for the ponies. Few things in life are as satisfying as leaning against the fence at the finish line, nursing a drink and looking left to catch the first glimpse of the pack coming home. If your horse finishes out of the money, no big deal. There's always the next race -- and plenty of beer. Anyway, gambling isn't the point. It's the fresh air, the scent of the stables, the tight jeans the escort riders wear as they guide the thoroughbreds to the gate. There's enough superstition in the air to fill 10 Bank One Ballparks. Dare you wager on a pony called U R Toast, or is Notanotherskidmark the safer choice?
Sometimes college students need to just let loose, get a little crazy and occasionally get escorted out of a building after a bit of debauchery. Spending your nights on Mill Avenue can get old. The real place to catch raucous 18- to 22-year-olds mid-shenanigans is at Wal-Mart. By midnight, at least 10 people will be running, yelling and climbing over displays in a heated game of hide-and-seek. Letting off steam by acting like a 6-year-old must work, because larger games of 20 to 40 players are orchestrated monthly at MySpace.com. The hide-and-seek activity at the Mesa Wal-Mart peaked a few months ago, but there's nothing stopping you from getting on MySpace.com and starting a fresh game. After all, when was the last time you were kicked out of anywhere for playing hide-and-seek? Unlike when you were a kid, your mom won't be there to be embarrassed by you.

As the ad says, they are a private school - taught in English - looks to be K-12. All students in Egypt at this level take religion classes according to their religion. I have heard little good about this school. They seem to have a very high teacher turnover. Check out the Job Information journal. I believe that there used to some postings there. It would certainly be helpful if we could get some input from current teachers or anyone who had taught there in the last year or so to see if things have improved.

I had that experience with Sakkara several years back. The salary is low, $600/ month for Overseas hires and many of my friends who worked there complained, but at least it was a paycheck. Many people don't have tecahing credentials, which is the case in many schools here just a BA and some people dont even have that. I would try International School Choueifat, if you really want to come to Cairo. They pay well, the location is a bit far though. In Egypt the best places to teach are AUC and CAC. After that there are some international schools. It really depends on what you are looking for, what you want, and what your needs are. Some things depend on credential and experience, to get the better paying jobs with more stable administration. BTW, I dont know that the salary is still that high even or that it is still in dollars, the egyptian economy has been hit hard the past 3 years and the vaule of the egyptian pound has gone from 3.44 to 7 to the U$D.

The pay is horrible and the staff are extremely rude. It is a family owned school and the son is in charge. He is dumb as nails and attempts to sleep with teachers. There is no lessons planned, you create everything. The bathroom has no toilets or closing doors. They pay you under the table, which means you work illegally. You never get a work Visa and they hold your diploma as ransom. Oh, and they beat the students hard.

Most have used it as a foot in the door in education jobs in Cairo and moved on as soon as they could. Work visas have always been rare in these school jobs, but this issue has become very cloudy with the "rulers" so I would avoid Egypt jobs that don't provide a legal work visa for awhile. (many have done it for years with no problem, but times are changing) My second comment would be to never never never let your original education documents leave your sight... ever... in a any country... with any employer. VS Back to top MaadiTeacherJoined: 28 Aug 2013Posts: 2 Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 6:11 pm Post subject: Hi all I worked at Sakkara last year and thought I would share my experiences as the reviews online are from a few years back. They're currently advertising again so anyone thinking of applying might find this useful (sorry in advance for the long post!). This was my first teaching job. I'd read the mixed reviews online and they do pretty much convey an accurate picture of the school. Essentially, I got what I expected: nothing better, nothing worse. Firstly, about Egypt itself: I adore Egypt but it is different now since/during the revolution. You will be in Maadi, which is a posh suburb and so rarely gets affected by political events, but generally Cairo isn't as safe as it was. However, I never felt any less safe than in any other big city. The harassment is worse for sure, and if you're not familiar with the Middle East in this respect, be wary when talking to men and in how you conduct yourself. As to the school, to address the application questions: a picture is totally standard for the Middle East. I had a phone interview but it was more of a formality. The foreign teachers last year were a mixture of American, British, Canadian and New Zealand. The school won't get you a work visa. It is always promised in the job advert (I believed them!) but they will simply renew your tourist visa. I had no problems, but some of the girls got asked at the airport why they had been in Egypt so long. You get paid cash in hand (Egyptian pounds) - over the course of last year, the value dropped so quickly which meant exchanging money was painful, especially as there's a general shortage of hard currency in Egypt at the moment. Don't give them your diploma/degree, otherwise they'll hold the certificates ransom all year. However, what is good about the school, on the logistics side, is that they do always pay you on time and don't mess you around when it comes to salary. All new teachers are paid the same, so the 'expected salary' on the application is not really relevant. If you're just looking to spend what you earn, you can live a comfortable (if not excessive) expat lifestyle on this salary - for example, you can eat out every day, have a cleaner, etc, but probably can't shop til you drop whenever you feel like it and any travel has to be on a bit of a budget. Accommodation is paid for and is generally fine (again, keeping in mind this is Egypt). Airfare is refunded in January. The school itself: classes are between 25 and 30 and students are pretty crammed in, which doesn't create a great working atmosphere, particularly at the start and end of the year when it's very hot (there's no air con). There is no technology and the three computers/printers in the staff room work intermittently. Definitely bring your own computer otherwise you'll be stuck. Egyptian staff are generally friendly (like everywhere, some people work hard, others don't) and it really helps to be able to speak a bit of Arabic as not everyone speaks English. The supervisor system is changing slightly for next year and there should be a foreign returning teacher in charge so that will hopefully improve things. Otherwise, you're pretty much left to your own devices. As others have said, the big advantage of this is you get to experiment with various teaching methods and you can teach, to a degree, what you like. I disagree that the workload is tough: you will have lots of break time during the day and I was usually able to do everything in school time, maybe a couple of hours a week at home. It can be incredibly frustrating at times as things will be sprung on you or changed at the last second, particularly around exams/holiday time. The school is essentially run as a business, and so students are passed every year even when they shouldn't be. This means you will have students whose English levels range (depending on their age) from elementary to fluent (no exaggeration). There is no streaming or acknowledgement of students who have special needs, and so classroom management can be difficult. The main problem with discipline, however, is a serious lack of consequences. Students will never, ever be expelled (even when some of mine had done things which they should have been expelled for) - the most they get is a day's suspension. By the time they're a bit older, students know this and so some simply act up the entire time and there's no real way of managing it. Working in Egypt, and specifically at Sakkara, is hard work. Most days felt like an uphill struggle. Added to that the fact that you will (unavoidably) get sick, and the political situation, everything can become quite volatile and over-dramatic. It definitely doesn't feel like a professional workplace. It's not all awful though, and it hasn't put me off teaching at all. If you're looking for the chance to explore Egypt (you can get away with being a shockingly bad teacher if you want to - no one's ever been sacked…), or want the first step on the teaching/EFL ladder, it's a great starting point. I wouldn't do it again for another year, but I definitely don't regret it either. And, cheesey as it sounds, it's the students who make it worth it in the end. A few exceptions aside, it's so rewarding to see them improve over the year. Egypt itself has a quality unlike anywhere else I've been - either you feel its magic or you don't (most people do!) - and it makes you a stronger person when you come out the other side!

I agree! I think Autumn is alot milder in Australia, hence more pleasant. We haven't been seeing much changes in colour in Perth though :(
x Aliya
Lovely post! :) I enjoyed the pictures! It's so funny to think you guys are experiencing autumn in Australia while were having spring/summer in the US!!
Fall is my most fave of the season too! The temp starting to dip just enough to cool one off and not too much that one freezes, no? And agree on the changing color of the leaves, love it!:)
I love autumn! but I'm an autumn baby... I'm built for it! the one thing I hate about the cooler weather is getting out of the shower. I HATE stepping out of a warm shower!
also, I adore your rainbow toes!
rainbow toes! cute idea.
Beautiful photos! Have a great week Trishie!
Oh wow if all autumns will be of that temperature, it would be really nice. Autumn in Russia is much colder.
Amber leaves and your toes got grand colors :)
Amazing pics!!!!
Rainbow toes - too cute! :-)
I still find Australian winters so cold. I'm all about the sun and warmth! Cute blog :) :)
Love that you get to experience the leaves changing colour! We don't really get that to a big extent here in Queensland! Although I agree, it's nice to have such sunny autumns :)
Loving the sweet colours, this is really summer haze.

Beautiful photographs. I'm happy when our summers are that temperature never mind autumn. I wish I was there right now because spring has been so wet and cold over here in the UK. X
Here the temperature is around 18 ºC, a bit cold for me. Amazing pictures!

Such delightful photos, its also Autumn here now, and theres nothing quite like the sublime and subtle colours of the changing leaves. Cute rainbow coloured nails
I'm really glad you're enjoying the fall. I, for one, am so glad that summer is on its way here in the states
Love your rainbow toes! You're so cute.

Love the rainbow toe-nails Trishie! xx
What a beautiful autumn in australia!!!
I like to feel your season opposite to Japan !
akiko in Tokyo
You're right that the weather in Oz even in Autumn is so much more pleasant that most countries. My mom who was visiting from NZ was appalled at the horrific wet and cold weather that hovered around 8-12 degree Celsius. That's the English spring weather.
Lucky you to be getting weathers like below 20C. Over here it is like oven everyday. Almost a week now that my car thermometer registered 37-39C =( I'm melting!
beautiful pictures !
We finally made it to the Zoo thanks to the lovely sunshine! That camellia is blooming good.
gorgeous photos!

They say it's the Racing Capital of Western Canada. The City of Edmonton, Alberta, is buzzing this week with race activities, in preparing for the upcoming Edmonton Indy. This Sunday, all 25 drivers from the IZOD IndyCar Series will compete in this season's 11th race event at the City Centre Airport course, just a stone's throw from the downtown streets.
"I'm looking forward to Edmonton, it's always a fun event," says Lotus HVM Racing driver Simona De Silvestro. "The team has been working really hard. My Lotus car in Toronto was the best I've ever had there, and I think we'll have another good car in Edmonton. So, hopefully, we'll have a good finish."
After Toronto's engine failure during the race two weeks ago, De Silvestro's engine was sent to the UK for analysis and repairs.
Motorsport Engine Manager for Lotus, Vincent Pereme comments: "The Edmonton Lotus engine will be an updated spec from the Toronto engine. The new bits in it will be adding another noticeable step in performance and will bring us definitely closer to the competitors. We will still be behind but getting closer at every race. We already have another improvement planned for Mid-Ohio as the parts were not made available in time to be brought to Edmonton unfortunately. This modification will bring a further step up in our fluid dynamics efficiency".
He adds "On the reliability side, we were unfortunate to have an issue on the engine which wasn't related to the newly introduced engine upgrade. This engine failure was a big blow to our expectations for the weekend. However, we have to bear in mind that all the engine manufacturers are experiencing reliability problems this year. We have found a fix for it and aren't expecting any issues this weekend."
On Track
Edmonton City Centre Airport Racetrack:
Circuit length: 2.224-mile road course
Laps: 75
Miles: 169.2
Off Track
Laps around the track for charity
Even though her mind is always on racing, Simona will be participating in many off-track activities this week. Aside from all the fun at the track, many activities are planned downtown this week. The most popular one is the Private Drivers Party, at Moriarty's on Friday night. The group organising the party has secured 30 exotic cars that will "chauffeur" the IndyCar drivers and VIPs from their hotels to the event. Of course Simona would prefer to drive the exotic car herself. However, she will be driving an exotic car at track, at the end of day on Saturday, giving a contest winner "5 exciting laps-of-a-lifetime" around the track, to help raise money for a local children's charity.
Camping at the racetrack
This Canadian venue is another favourite for the drivers. It is a well-known fact that Canadians are big open-wheel fans, and in Edmonton, the whole City supports the race. The drivers love the fact that the fans know their racing and reserve their tickets a year ahead of time. Many of them pick their summer vacation to attend this event. In Alberta, vacationing means getting an RV (recreational vehicle), and reserving a camping spot at the track for the whole race weekend.

Eh, $549 for the one I want, I am 100% sure I am just gonna wait for the next one. Not enough change for me to pay that much for early upgrade. Glad I didn't list my I4 for sale yet. As much as I like Iphone, I don't see how anyone can justify paying almost a grand for a phone. I think if the next one doesn't blow me away, I'll no longer be an Iphone fan, sad.
$649.99 damn that's pricey
then look at the iphone 4s
and it has a option called CHECK ELIGIBILITY itll ask for phone number with carrier /social/zip etc
and it will give you your price rates for the phone,i tried with my mothers line which she just joined atnt and she didn't get this offer but i did for 459 so i am going to sell my iphone 4 for 300 and put up the extra and pre order tonight
Second passing on this phone
I went on the Apple website and talked to 2 different representatives thru the online chat. They both said the same thing to me: Each customer will be allowed to purchase 2 iPhone's...
They didn't confirm nor denied that the release would be at 12:01AM PST today...i guess we will find out!
The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a contract commitment. You can activate and use it on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T in the United States.* The unlocked iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S will not work with CDMA-based carriers such as Verizon Wireless or Sprint.
If you dont want a multiyear service contract or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. It arrives without a micro-SIM card, so youll need an active micro-SIM card from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using it, simply insert the micro-SIM card into the slot on your iPhone and turn it on by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.
i think your misunderstanding the point of "CHECK ELIGIBILITY" its checking if your eligiibile for a two year data contract for the column one pricing... thats all. the price the quoted you is for for 2yr contract NOT for no commitment. NO commitment is for no contract/unlocked iphone.

Syria: Cross-border aid convoy arrives in northern Syria
The first eight trucks of a UN humanitarian convoy have arrived in northern Syria, having crossed from Turkey. The trucks – carrying food, blankets, mattresses, family kits, hygiene kits, medicines and medical supplies – are being unloaded at UN warehouses in Qamishli, in Syria's far north-east.
Four UN agencies are taking part in the convoy with the support of OCHA: the World Food Programme (WFP), the UN Refugee Agency, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO), along with the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
The convoy demonstrates the impact of UN Security Council Resolution 2139. Passed late February, the resolution articulated the requirement for both cross-border and cross-line access to the millions of Syrian civilians whose lives, homes and communities have been shattered by this long and terrible conflict.
"A small step [that] gives us hope"
Nigel Fisher, Regional Humanitarian Coordinator, speaking on behalf of the humanitarian agencies, expressed his appreciation for the approvals given by Turkey and Syria.
"The opportunity to start the dispatch of a convoy of 79 trucks through the Nusaybin/Qamishli border is a sign of progress," Mr Fisher said.
"We are encouraged by this development, which, although a small step, gives us hope that additional border crossing points will be opened up. [This will] enable us to provide much more humanitarian assistance to the countless Syrians who are in desperate need of support for their very survival."
More Syrians suffer with every day that passes
"It is imperative that humanitarian assistance be provided on a massive scale to Syrian civilians in need, many of whom are children, traumatised by loss and the destruction of the very fabric of their lives," continued Mr. Fisher.
"More border crossings have to be opened so that United Nations agencies and partners can reach Syrians purely on the basis of their humanitarian needs."
He called on all parties to the conflict to allow the UN and its humanitarian partners – both national and international – to accelerate the delivery of aid across international borders and across internal conflict lines.
"With each day that passes, more Syrian civilians suffer and die needlessly," he said.
At the beginning of February, a UN and Syrian Arab Red Crescent Convoy reached the Old City of Homs, bringing relief to families cut off from outside support for 600 days.

A visitor has sent in more ways to remember some of more confusing words in the English language:-
WEATHER and WHETHER
Heather likes the weather hot (and if there is confusion about the spelling of heather, it grows on a heath).
Whether it is here or whether it is there, whether is not quite where nor there
Place words are always "here"
Here (in this place)
There (in that place)
Where (in which place)
Nowhere (in no place)
Elsewhere (in another place)
Somewhere (in some place)
Their (it belongs to them)
Heir (it will, eventually, belong to them...)
if there is no heir, it is not theirs.
They're = "they are". The apostrophe replaces the missing letter or letters, as in don't, can't, shan't. This is the only meaning of they're.
THAN is used as a comparison e.g. is my book better THAN yours?
THEN is used for time e.g. read this book first then answer the questions.
Alex K
Hear - you use your EARs to hEAR
On a journey we go HERE and tHERE
Lucy Stevens
LOSE or LOOSE
LOSE is to misplace
LOOSE - not tight
Alex K
MEET or MEAT
MEET = socialise
MEAT = food
EAT in MEAT
Alex K
Smile polITELY and write definITELY.
Alex K
Too has too MANY o's and this sentence does too.
This includes both contexts of too and aids spelling too. It is important to stress the word many to avoid confusion with the number.
Q. What is the owl's telephone number?
A. Two eight - two eight - "two".
To remember the major uses of to, remember go to and to go (or to do). Remember that to matches the spelling of go and do.
Commonly miswritten letters
b and d
Write the word b e d in lower case to remember which way round the b and the d go.
It should look like a bed. The headboard and footboard should be at the end, not in the middle.
S - Write the word So.
Picture it as a snake about to eat an egg. If the s is back to front, the egg will be about to slurp up the snake!
My daughter uses the following for spelling NECESSARY.
Never Eat Chips Eat Salad Sandwiches And Raspberry Yoghurt.
Unlike the variants on your web site, this carries a very sensible health message that does not breach trade description legislation!
A way to remember how to spell DIFFICULTY sent in by Fiona Flynn
Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs FFI, Mrs C, Mrs U, Mrs LTY
Shelagh Spurway has sent in the following mnemonic to remember the spelling of the word ANSWER
"A Negative Score Will Equal Relegation".
..for those footie fans this should be an easy one to remember.
An easy way to remember which are StalaGmites and which are StalaCtites -
StalaGmites - are in the ground
StalaCmites - are from the ceiling
Finally, a slightly risqué method of remembering the difference.
Gee, the mites fly up and see the tights fall down!
Think of ants in your pants: The mites go up and the tights come down.
Chris Roerden
(I would point out to non-English English speakers that tights are pantyhose).

Toby Keith's Syracuse restaurant in tax trouble
Listen to Toby Keith on iHeartRadio
The tax man doesn't have much love right now for one of Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill.
Syracuse.com says the country star's eatery in Syracuse, New York owes the state more than $189,000 dollars in back taxes.
A spokesman for the New York Department of Taxation and Finance says the restaurant collected sales taxes that never made it to the state.
A tax warrant has been issued against the bar and grill, but the state hasn't seized the property and the restaurant hasn't shut down. .
Keith opened his Syracuse restaurant last year. It's one of 15 Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill locations across the country.

Helping me fight Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma
After My NHL started to return after my second Stem cell transplant I felt I was running out of treatment options. I then read about Fucoidan and how it was a highly rated cancer treatment, although not offered as a conventional treatment. I started taking Fucoidan 2 capsules twice a day and within six weeks all my symptoms had gone and my energy was back to normal. I have tried various makes of Fucoidan and have found "Life Extension" the best. I have been taking this now for ten months and I am more than happy with the results.

A high quality product - I spent weeks researching which was the best fucoidan. There is a lot on the market. I have only been taking it for two weeks but already I feel more energized. I specifically bought it for its anti cancer qualities as I have a history of cancer in the family. Apparently it activates the killer T cells in the body that attack cancer cells. This product contains the active ingredient of a particular brown seaweed called undaria pinnatifida and they use a special extraction process called "Maritech" which protects the fucoidan molecules from being damaged and offers the best viability. Believe you me, I put in a lot of time in researching the product as you have to be careful what you put into your body. You don't want any fucoidan from Japanese waters due to the nuclear fall out - this was another plus for me. This product offers the most potency and is farmed from the Atlantic ocean off the coast of South America in the Patagonian sea. Most importantly, it doesn't contain any seaweed such as laminaria japonica or kombu which contain a lot of iodine. If you don't have an iodine deficiency then you can be doing more harm than good, so this was a big factor for me too. I take it twice per day. I also like that it has the side benefits of normalizing blood sugar, reducing cholesterol and increases resistance to viral infections etc. You can buy this supplement at a better price by buying in volume from the Life Extension website but as I live in a remote area, they could not offer me DHL, so Iherb was the better choice for me. These people should be paying me a commission!!
Very pleased!

This is my first review for a product that I have purchased from I Herb and I have purchased many. This product was what I needed. My hair was thinning, going down the drain, and now after taking it 2 weeks, what a difference! Also, gave me more energy and I feel so much better, sleeping better, etc. Highly recommend.

Appears to help me lose weight and belly fat, when combined with walking and dietary starch limitation. Also frequency of skin cancer lesions(basel cell carcinoma) seems to be slowed down considerably. Have been using products with fucoidan for over 3 years now, with no perceived problems.
Works too well!

I was taking 2 capsules/day. My mold symtoms got a lot worse because the toxic die off, due to the rapid destruction of the fungi was circulating back into my bloodstream. This is good news. I am taking 1/day now to slow down the mold removal. I will increase my dose after a couple of months hoping that the die off toxins won't bother me as much. The product really works!

Fucoidan helps to stimulate new stem cells which the body will use according to its wisdom, its also a cancer protective, these are the reasons why I am using it along with its immune boosting and anti aging properties. Will buy again!
Good value for a hard to source fucoidan.

It's a bit early for a full review. I know from my experience with other brands, the master processing company is second to none. They also process a fucoidan for a Direct Sales company in Malaysia. That product is sourced from Tasmania (not available easily to Australians). I would say this is the second best fucoidan in the world. It could be argued THE BEST VALUE. Mark, Geelong, Australia.

i read somewhere that chris ward is trying to get back on the world tour! Is that true? Does anyone know anything else about it?
During the past year MSW and surfing magizine featured some videos of him called WAR(D) Stories. A link to one of them.....
For sure. Would love to see wardo compete or see more videos. He only has a few years before his daughter takes priority touring. I think she's up and coming. She was caddying for him at sunset this year!
his movie is awesome- War(d) Stories. The guy literally rips, his airs and his tubes are insane. Definitely suggest it to anybody who wants to get psyched out on surfing
Just spaced out for about an hour watching War(d). What a life. Dropping in on locals at Pipe by day, sleeping in bushes by night. Dude rips.
"His chick is his chick but your chick is also his chick"
"His idea of going green is not the same as yours" haha
Wardo was going big 5-7 years ago. Charging Baja. All over the north shore, but his stint with domestic violence and related arrests took him out of the lime light and back into the Pre-Lost days of old Orange County... definitely a ripper, but partied too much and made an ass of himself on numerous occasions. Hopefully he learned from his mistakes and can take one last crack at it.

Law students named student officers in ABA
Two second-year law students in the University of South Carolina's School of Law have been elected to serve as national student officers in the American Bar Association.
Tommy Preston Jr. was elected as the student representative on the ABA Board of Governors, becoming the first African American to serve in this post. Preston will be responsible for voicing the concerns of law students across the nation. Student representative is one of the highest-ranking student leadership positions in the ABA.
Tonnya Kennedy-Kohn was selected in a national search to serve as the student editor of the American Bar Association's Student Lawyer magazine, a publication that reaches 43,000 law students across the country.
Preston, a native of Clemson, attended Carolina, where he earned a bachelor's degree in political science. As an undergraduate, Preston was president of the student body and recipient of the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, the university's highest honor given to a student. In the School of Law, Preston is co-chair and founder of the Law Student Ambassador Program and is a member of Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity and the Black Law Student Association.
Kennedy-Kohn, a native of Tennessee, earned her bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University and her master's degree in journalism from Murray State University. She was a newspaper journalist for several years, most recently serving as managing editor at The State newspaper in Columbia. She has also been an editor at the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va., the Lexington Herald-Leader in Lexington, Ky., and the Nashville Banner in Nashville, Tenn. In the law school, Kennedy-Kohn is a student ambassador and a member of the Black Law Student Association.
Kevin Johnson, who received his undergraduate degree from Carolina in 1988, was elected chairman of the ABA Law Student Division. Originally from Greenville, Johnson is a second-year student at the University of Alabama School of Law.

Jacman is a GUI frontend to ArchLinux's "pacman" package management system. It provides an attractive interface to the majority of key features of Pacman, including installing, removing, and updating packages. It also includes "rollback" functionality to return back to an older version if necessary.
Trojan Scan is a simple shell script that allows for simple but relatively effective checking for trojans, rootkits and other malware that may be using your server and network for unwanted (and possibly illegal) purposes. It is relatively simple and won't catch them all, but can help to find these programs on shared servers with many users. It works by listing all process that use the Internet with the lsof command (using -Pni flags). This list is then transformed into signatures, which are then are matched against the allowed process defined in the configuration. If any signatures of running processes are found that do not match the allowed signatures, an email report is sent including ps, ls, and optional lsof output for the unknown processes.
Juxy is a Java unit testing library for XSLT. It allows you to write JUnit tests for XSLT stylesheets. You can easily setup transformation context (parameters, variables, current node) and then invoke the transformation. There are corresponding methods to call or to apply individual templates and you can even pass parameters to these templates, or apply templates in different modes. Result of the transformation can be verified in a number of ways; you can evaluate an XPath expression or you can perform canonical XML comparison. It works with any XSLT processor that supports the TRaX API.
The Kitikat Java Framework is a powerful but simple Datastore processing framework. A Datastore represents an in-memory copy of data. A program may retrieve the data from a data source, such as a relational database, manipulate the data, and then propagate the updates of the data back to the original data source or to a different data source. Once the data is retrieved, it is a disconnected, data source independent version of the data. A change history of the data is maintained to provide dynamic updates to a data source, and there are several levels of concurrency control provided for multi-user environments.
Simple Log is a small library that does logging very simply and requires you to do almost nothing (other than actually logging) to get log output to happen. It is much simpler to use than a logging framework, especially in terms of configuration. It doesn't attempt to solve every logging problem in one package, but contains enough features to be a viable alternative for most applications that need logging. This tool will handle the logging needs of most small- to large-sized projects, but with an almost non-existent learning curve.
mod-vhost-ldap is an Apache 2.x module for storing and configuring virtual hosts from LDAP. It supports DocumentRoot, ScriptAlias, ServerName, ServerAlias, ServerAdmin, and SuexecUserGroup directives. It's built on top of mod_ldap, so it uses its caching capabilities and can be used with a threaded Apache httpd.
A Webmail system based on IMAP.

Three year old shoots infant in North Charleston, mother arrested.
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Kalea Pryor, 21, is charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine Base and Unlawful Conduct Toward a Child.
According to a spokesperson from the North Charleston Police Department, an infant was found with a gun shot wound inside a house on Tulip Street off Rivers Avenue a little before 6 p.m. Thursday evening.
The infant has been transported to the Medical University of South Carolina in serious condition.
"Upon arrival officers located the child in a car seat in the living room suffering from a gunshot," North Charleston spokesperson Spencer Pryor said.
"Officers located a handgun on a nearby couch. Narcotics were also found in plain view in the residence," Spencer Pryor added.
"The mother of the infant, Kalea Pryor, admitted to investigators that she was standing on the front porch talking with friends when she heard what she knew to be a gunshot. She advised that she ran inside and observed her 3-year-old son standing next to the gun crying. It was learned that the 3-year-old accidentally shot the infant," Spencer Pryor said.
21-year-old Kalea Pryor has been charged with Possesion with Intent to Distribute Marijuana, Possesion with Intent to Distribute Cocaine Base and Unlawful Conduct Towards a Child.
The incident is still under investigation.

The name Salamonie was derived from the Native American word "O-sah-mo-nee," which means "yellow paint." Native Americans made yellow paint from the bloodroot plant which grew in great abundance along the winding banks of the river.
Salamonie River State Forest was created as a demonstration riverside forest for the reclamation of eroded land. The state forest was established in the mid 1930's when local people assisted the state in purchasing the hilly land and bluffs along the Salamonie River. Most of the land's topsoil was eroded away, making reclamation of the area a major challenge. To deal with this challenge, a 200-member Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was created. The CCC designed and planned the forest and recreation facilities and opened a stone quarry. Several hundred acres of land were reforested and many recreation facilities were built, including Hominy Ridge Lake and the large stone shelter house that stands near the lake. Today the forest encompasses 850 acres and offers many recreational opportunities to its visitors.
Salamonie River State Forest offers 1 primitive (class C) campground:
Campsites are available on a first come, first serve basis. Please self-register for camping at the campground entrance. Pit toilets and drinking water are available near sites. See the fees page for a list of camping fees.
Hominy Ridge Lake (4 acres) offers largemouth bass, bluegill, redear and catfish; a valid Indiana fishing license is required. A boat launch is located at the east side of the lake; boat motors are limited to electric trolling motors only. The forest also provides access to the Salamonie River, which offers opportunities to catch largemouth bass, bluegill, redear, catfish and walleye pike. Swimming is offered at nearby State Recreation Area beach on Salamonie Lake.
Whitetail deer, turkey, squirrel, fox, and raccoon. A valid hunting license is required.
Hiking Trails
Hikers and horseback riders are advised to wear hunter orange or other bright clothing while on trails during hunting season.

Inverted Nipples
I really have a hard time breastfeeding my babies due to my inverted nipples. Even my baby suffered too. No one , not even my OB had given me some tips as to what to do to maybe correct this. Having a daughter that might have inverted nipples too... what are some tips you can give that might help a woman with inverted nipples do so she would be able to breastfeed her baby later without so much difficulty? Or is there some medical help to correct this?
I really am for breastfeeding babies.
29th February 2012 01:16 AM #2
I'm sorry to hear you are have had difficulties breastfeeding. Can I firstly suggest that you get in touch with a lactation consultant as I can personally testify that these professionals provide invaluable support when breastfeeding. They can watch you feeding and give you one-to-one advice.
I (according to my midwives) had 'flat nipples' but (after lots of help!) I managed to successfully breastfeed my son. You can check whether you have flat or totally inverted nipples by using this method: push the areola (darker skin on your breast) about an inch down (behind the nipple). The nipple is known as flat if it does not stick out at all. If the nipple goes backwards into the skin's tissue then it is truly inverted.
There are some techniques you can use to 'draw out' your nipples (whether they are flat or inverted). Again, I would like to say that a lactation consultant can help you with these.
-Breastfeeding itself actually helps to draw out the nipple. Women who have flat or inverted nipples before they start breastfeeding often find that after regular breastfeeding their nipples stick out.
-Using a breastpump also has this affect on flat or inverted nipples.
-You can purchase 'breast shells' (to wear starting in the late stages of pregnancy) and wear them at around 30 minutes before a baby needs feeding. These put pressure on the areola to help the nipple to protrude.
-You can also use nipple massaging techniques to loosen the bonds in the areola and again help the nipple to protrude.
With breastfeeding, it is very important that the baby latches on correctly. The baby should not just be latched onto the end of the nipple (your breasts would soon become very sore if this happened). The baby really does need a full mouthful of breast which can be more difficult to establish with flat or inverted nipples. However, many women have been able to successfully breastfeed with these types of nipples: it can just take some extra support and techniques.
This article on flat or inverted nipples is particularly useful as it shows some diagrams and photos of some of the techniques I have described above.
I hope this is all helpful for you. Please post back and let us know what you think so we can support each other to breastfeed successfully.

Thank you for the reply. My kids are now almost adult, a 19 girl and a 15 boy. What some older folks did to me during those lactating time was to let my husband suck my nipples more which was very painful and irritating due to a very distended breast. The swelling of my breast reaches almost my neck. I was advised to use a breast pump and put the milk on the feeding bottle and have it consumed by my baby. We put the extracted milk on the fridge. At least it made me feel I did breastfeed my babies.
Inverted nipples runs in the family. Almost the six of us (we are all girls) have this kind of nipples. But some of my sister has really reared their kids thru breast feeding.

I had inverted nipples before I had my first child. My midwife noticed it and suggested that I wear breast shells for the last few weeks of pregnancy to see if it would help the nipples to start to stand out. I did this a few times, but I didn't realize the severity of the inverted nipples and the problems it would cause.
So when baby was born, she could not latch on... and when my milk came in I ended up being engorged (very hard breasts) which made it even more difficult for baby to latch on. Thankfully my mother-in-law noticed this and immediately set up an appointment for me to visit a lactation consultant the next morning.
So I took my baby to the lactation consultant's house (she was also a friend of the family) and we stayed there for 6 hours... massaging the breast, expressing milk by hand, pulling the nipple out and helping baby to latch.
For me it was 3 excruciating months of breastfeeding... cracked, bleeding nipples and mastitis (which I always resolved naturally by using different positions, getting more rest, etc.). Baby simply wasn't latching well, which was most likely due to my inverted nipples. It's hard for a baby to latch, draw the nipple out, keep the nipple out and swallow, when the nipple is inverted.
There were many times when I just wanted to stop, but my lactation consultant gave me some wise advise. She said, "You can stop, but just make sure that you won't regret it later, if you do." Well, the fact that my breasts would become engorged if I tried to stop helped me make my decision to continue trying, but I did learn some things...
1. Use a hospital grade breast pump to pull the nipple out until you have a let down, then pop baby on so she doesn't have to work to pull the nipple out... and the milk will be right there for her. Worked well for me.
2. If nipple is bleeding, take baby off the breast and nurse express by hand as much as possible to give the nipple a break. I did this for 24 hours and it worked wonders.
3. (And this is something I've learned since then...) Be sure baby is properly positioned on the breast (as ljmarsden suggested) and try to breastfeed on just one side, using compressions, for as long as baby wants to eat. This gives the other breast a "break". At the next feed, offer the other breast and feed only on that side. I found that once baby is on (the initial latch is the most painful) that the pain subsides some, so I think this would be very helpful - feeding on only one side at each feed.
When baby #2 came along, I no longer had inverted nipples, and 5 children later, my nipples have never gone back.
I believe that at least one of my daughters may have flat or inverted nipples, so I will need to educate and empower my girls so that they have the best breastfeeding experience possible... even with flat or inverted nipples.
Warm regards,
2nd March 2012 11:45 PM #5
This is fantastic information. Thanks for the posts. There is a product called a Niplette that is designed to be used to help draw out the nipple for breastfeeding for women with flat or inverted nipples. I would say that using a lactation consultant if there is problems breastfeeding before purchasing any devices.

Chances of having twins?
Hi everyone!
Just a few questions while i was looking over all the forums. My grandmother on my fathers side miscarried twins and one of my sisters on my mothers side actually had twins about two years ago. Just a quick question, I am really just curious, what are the chances of having twins and is there anyway to actually boost chances of having twins? Thanks everyone!
5th November 2013 06:41 AM #2
A woman is more likely to give birth to twins if there are twins in her family (rather than her partner's family) so your family history would give you a higher than average chance. It is also more likely in women who have had fertility treatment and in women who conceive after age 35 (although conceiving after this age is also unfortunately associated with some increased risks in the pregnancy). A woman is also more likely to have twins in later pregnancies (rather than her first two pregnancies).
You may like to have a read of this previous thread about conceiving twins.
The chance of having twins if you conceive naturally is around 1 in 80. With your family history I would estimate it would be more like 1 in 65.
Warm wishes,

You can take your vitamins. People low on nutrition are less likely to have twins. All vitamins are good, but folic acid supplements are proven to increase your chances. You can get them at any pharmacy.
I hope it helps you.

Thank you for the help!
About two months ago I had Gastric Sleeve surgery. I wasn't hugely over weight but with PCOS and Thyroid issues my doctors thought it would be the best route to get to a stable healthy weight and then try for children again in a year. Fingers crossed we are able to get through this!

hey guys, I will like to get my self a new body board this summer. Anyone like to recommend?
I am tall, 6foot2, so this board needs to be fairly large.
If you can send a link to where I can buy it as well, that will be extra cool.

Check out Atlanticbodyboards.com
Where do you live bondage?
there are a lot of factors that you need to consider when buying a new bodyboard...
- board material - different cores and bottoms are better for different temperatures - some may be too stiff for cold water, while others may be too flexible for warm water
- stringers - having at least 1 stringer is a good idea - keeps your board from bending or breaking in rough shorebreak - though if you live in a cold water area, 2(or more) stringers may make the board too stiff
- tail - bat tail or crescent - DK riders tend to prefer crescent for its ability to hold the wave better - prone riders tend to prefer bat tails for more maneuverability - mostly a personal preference
- size - should reach within 1 inch above or below your bellybutton when standing - also a matter of personal preference
- thickness and width - if you are heavier guy, you will sink if you try to ride too thin or narrow of a board - the opposite goes for smaller guys - you wont be able to catch waves properly if your board is too buoyant or too wide for your shoulders to reach across
- price - you might not want to pay $150 - $250 for a high performance board if you are a beginner and you will not need the extra performance for a while (possibly by then it will be time to get a new board) - though more experienced riders may need the $200 high performance board to do maneuvers better or to catch bigger waves
this site goes into more detail on this: http://www.surfingguide.org/bodyboar...pecs/board.php
i recomend morey i ride one and they last me forever. but not the ****ty cheap moreys. they suck. if not buy a toobs they are pretty good too
yai..atlanticbodyboards are pretty good on these thing...
Atlanticbodyboards.com is your best bet, but the best brand is by far NMD, or BZ. NMD's are so Light and Durable, i love them! I have an NMD Base and it's great! They go great with creatures of leisure leashes
Atlanticbodyboards is the place to go for BBING needs, but BZ & NMD being by far the best brands is a stretch considering all the top manufacturers out today. Nothing against either NMD, BZ, but unless you have many years of well traveled experience or ridden most of the manufacturers boards recently, that's a mighty bold statement.
bondage- I see you listed your hgt @ 6'-2" make sure to mention to Bob your weight also. The location, type of wave you ride, etc will make a difference on the type of board to select.
These are the boards from our No.6 line up suited for the bigger guys (200lbs+ and 6ft +/-)
These 2 boards are pretty similar except for the tail design. 1st board Brawler is crescent with a bit more control for the steeper waves & the Goliathe with a bat tail to slide/throw around a bit easier.
Just check out Bob @ Atlanticbodyboards.com
Ive been rocking BZ since i started getting serious about body boarding, I have an early model BZ Hubbard 42 with rails and the new hubb fundamental 42" with rolled bat tail. My first sponge is still bad ass on the waves, and its been through about 6 hurricane seasons lol. Thats the quality that i have came to expect and love from BZ
Remember to buy two boards and make sure you tape the two boards together for extra flotation. ;)

Hello people,
I need your help with something... I only recently got into the mobile world and discovered that some of my websites do not work that well with the touch interface. Mostly menus with hover fly-outs and such.
Now unless the requirements demand so, and time+budget permits, I won't go into building separate mobile versions of the websites I do. But I DO want to take steps to make the websites function OK (i.e. completely usable) on touch interfaces. I need some guidelines, some DOs and DONTs and any advice on the matter.
In short: how to design normal websites that do not break on phones and tablets.
Anyone knows of such resources, or can offer advice in this thread? Thank you!
We very had great experiences using a responsive grid, for example cssgrid.com
Hth, Jochen
You ran into the big one -- most touch UIs have no concept of over so anything relying upon hover and hover alone just won't work. Beyond that most modern sites will at least render reasonably well on modern mobile devices. Only real way to be certain is to acquire mobile devices and commence to testing as you really can't effectively do much else.
From what I've seen on the few iOS and Android devices I've seen, the devices do an excellent job of reducing the web site to fit the screen, and allow the user to double-tap a section or table cell or div to enlarge it to full screen width for easier reading.
What you need to keep in mind is the difference between the tap of a finger and the click of a mouse. There is no hover on a device as there is when a mouse hovers over a link, so you can't expect a hover to work on a mobile device - which you've found out.
When you play a video, the video by default (not by extra coding on the developer's part) plays on the screen by itself, not on the web page. There's a button above the video the user taps to return to the page containing the video link.
<Alt> text can be seen on the device if the picture won't load, or before the photo appears, but the <title> tag won't because it depends on hover.
Drop-down option links are automatically converted to popups on the Android devices and a scrolling list on the iPhone at comfortable sizes for finger-tapping goodness. Radio buttons and check boxes are often too tiny and really need to be enlarged in CSS for smaller screens, or staggered 40-50px apart to help the user comfortably select the correct one. (Putting them in <li>s with text-decoration:none at 50px line-spacing helps.)
I hope these tips will help you get going.
Great information, thank you all, and especially StevenHu
What we've done on our site to retro-fit it for mobile is add some Javascript that targets mobile devices and adds "click" actions to hover events.
So, something like:
.this:hover { display: block }
I change to:
.this:hover, .this.active { display: block }
and then I add some JS like this (using jQuery for clarity):
if( strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'Android') ||
strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'webOS') ||
strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],'iPhone') ||
$('.this').click(function() {
// Hide it again when anything else is clicked.
$(document).click(function() {
The other biggie for desktop to mobile is scrolling within elements. It just doesn't work (like a div with overflow: auto). For these, I recommend just making a mini-page and redirecting mobile sites to those (if the scroll part shows up on click or hover). If it's always there, you have bigger problems and I recommend getting rid of it in general.
Scrolling within divs seems to work for me on the old iPad. See Stackoverflow's notification box for an example.
Scrolling within divs on iDevices does work, using a two-finger action (or so I'm told). However, I've been told it's awkward. It also doesn't work on Android devices (at least as of 2.3 with the default browser). I also don't think it fits the typical feel of a mobile site (a scrolling pane within a scrolling pane when controlled with something as relatively large as a finger is rather awkward no matter how you pull it off).
I suggest you look at responsive design so your site scales successfully across a wide range of screen sizes:
Thank you, designmodo's example and alistapart information is very useful. Good to know that people is more interested in RWD.
Here's a basic list I put together a while ago.
Some techniques perform better on mobile as well.e.g. transitioning transforms is much more per formant than transitioning top / left.Avoid heavy Javascript client-side frameworks like backbone / ember. Keep things simple.
Hope it helps,

Your Eyes Deceive You: Claire Beckett at the Wadsworth AtheneumBy Drew Johnson
In Hartford overnight for reasons that would take too long to explain, my wife and I visited the Wadsworth Atheneum, the city's art museum, where she had interned a number of years before. Hartford is one of those midsize American cities, like Cincinnati or Worcester, dominated by Chris Ware cityscapes.
The Atheneum is a small, good museum and interesting in that way that Hartford is interesting: on a comparatively small stage the choices are more evident, the collections more particular. Things that would be pushed into the storeroom at another museum are given fascinating pride of place. What is less well known is not so consistently edged out by what is too well known.
We walked past the museum's two Balthuses into a room full of photos of men in headdresses, dusty streets, namelessly Middle Eastern scenes. A man fiddling with a bomb. Something was off, however: there was too much unfinished plywood and the people staring into the camera were clearly … what?
We slowed down, read wall text. This woman is a Marine lance corporal.

Sheriff's deputies suspect three men who have been caught stealing mail in Hesperia are responsible for mail thefts in other areas of the High Desert, officials said Wednesday.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies arrested Leo Bojorquez, 22, and Andrew Bojorquez, 23, both of Apple Valley; and Pablo Hernandez, 22, of Chino on suspicion of burglary and possession of stolen property Jan. 23.
Deputies received a call at 11:50 a.m. from a resident who feared three people hanging around mail receptacles in the 17000 block of Olive Street in Hesperia may be stealing mail, sheriff's officials said.
Deputies found the men, along with a large amount of mail that didn't belong to them.
Investigators suspect the trio also stole mail in other cities, taking personal information as well as checks and money orders.
U.S. Postal Service agents are helping the Sheriff's Department determine whether the men are involved in additional thefts, and are trying to find more victims.
