Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt share their faith in Jesus! As Perez Hilton attacks them!
There is a saying that goes, "You can talk about everything except, religion, money, and politics." Of course, this statement is in regards to avoiding confrontation, arguments, and emotionally charged conversations. Therefore, if these topics are avoided, and you err on the safe side, everybody goes home happy.
As usual, Hollywood, and more specifically reality stars don't play by those rules. In this case, Heidi Montag, star of MTV's the Hills, has been tweeting about her personal faith in Jesus. She is a born again Christian, and there's even talk of her releasing a Christian album, however, that's not the point.
The funny thing is that online media articles related to Heidi's faith question her being a born-again Christian because of her provocative dress in music videos and television. Now let me share that I am a born-again Christian, have been for over 11 years, and I believe very strongly that Heidi's recent tweets show that she IS a Christian beyond doubt through her words. Yet, the online media is also correct in that it is by one's actions that you can tell if someone is a Christian through his/her lifestyle and choices.
Media is too quick to judge and label people based on their past. I believe that change is possible, and that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt can grow and change like anyone else. Interestingly though, it seems Perez Hilton felt he needed to jump into Heidi's and Spencer's tweets and diss them about their faith. So Heidi and Spencer are Christians, they like to tweet about it, do they need approval from Perez Hilton for how to tweet their faith on Twitter?
Sometimes I wonder, if Perez will ever stay out of the fray, and just leave some celebrities alone. He either loves or hates a celebrity, nothing in between. For crying out loud, Perez Hilton was invited to and went to Heidi and Spencer's wedding on April 25th, 2009. Now, barely 2 months later, he is insulting both of them, their faith, and unfollowing Heidi on Twitter over her profession of faith! Perez Hilton, that is shameful and classless, but I guess you're just being you?
The funny thing is I do have a small measure of respect (decreasing daily though) for Perez because I think he is actually being true to himself by dissing celebrities and having the guts to be confrontational with them through his speech and writing. If he were faking nice it would be worse because he be acting dishonest and not himself. I've thought to myself, "What is the appeal of Perez Hilton?" The best answer I could think of was that some people out there, who dislike celebrities and their status, enjoy seeing someone who has celebrity clout (Perez), lash out and put the celebrities in their places.
The thing is he is clearly abusing his power and celebrity influence by believing "whatever he says/thinks…is right!" I know for a fact that there was a "Unfollow Perez Hilton" campaign that was spreading on Twitter after his shameful insult of MJ at the time of his death, but it actually hasn't changed anything with his twitter account. Checking tonight, I saw that he's actually gone and added over 10,000 viewers in the past week! Sad that there isn't any consequences for his behaviour!
In today's internet online world, people seem to forgive and forget quite fast. In the past, individual celebrities were never bigger than the Entertainment industry itself, and there always seemed to be a class to Hollywood, even if it was an "old boys club". Now, anything goes, with the advent of reality shows like punk'd, Jackass, Wildboyz, etc., braking down that notion of class. It's no longer necessary for celebrities to have class or decency to become a celebrity or star. On the other hand, it's the opposite with things like scandal, sex tapes, paparazzi moments as sufficient to rubber stamp celebrity status. It's no wonder that I like covering musicians more…because they at least need to know how to sing (not a fan of autotune singers), play an instrument, dance, and write/compose music before anyone in the industry will take them seriously. I digressed, sorry.
Being a Christian does not mean you are perfect, as Perez is trying to fry Heidi and Spencer for not being, but at least I found a picture with Spencer and Heidi serving pizza to the homeless at the Union Rescue Mission in downtown L.A. (May 20th, 2009). I looked for pictures with Perez serving the community and only found pictures with him hanging out with celebrities…that's it.

New Album Review: Ashley Tisdale's "Guilty Pleasure"
Yes I know that Ashley Tisdale is as mainstream as you can get for pop music, however, I always review music first and not popularity. Lest I remind you all, that I hardly listen to popular radio stations, and not for what you probably think. I just got bored with all the commercials and radio DJ's incessant chatter. I never had a problem with popular/mainstream music itself.
But I digress, back to Ashley Tisdale's upcoming sophomore album "Guilty Pleasure". It will be released on Tuesday July 28th, 2009 to much fanfare. The nature of a celebrity of Ashley's stature (@ashleytisdale), who has already exceeded over 1,000,000 twitter followers making her one of Twitter's top accounts. This alone assures her a probable strong showing in sales. Also, the fact that her fans and followers are strongest in the teenager demographic, only helps her cause. She has built this strong fan following primarily over her role in the Disney T.V. show "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody", her appearances in the "High School Musical" movies, and of course her music/debut album.
What's also interesting with this 24 year old pop singer/actress, is that she attempting to doing a "double feature" with her upcoming projects. Not only is her album releasing July 28th, but her new 2oth Century Fox film, "Aliens in the Attic" opens Friday July 31st. Smart marketing and P.R. as she will get a ton of publicity in the next few weeks, that the majority of other musicians could only dream of.
Her corporate/music label advantages aside, the album's not too shabby on own merits (in the summer fun way). First of all, I would definitely class her in the Avril Lavigne pop/rock genre with a few interesting tracks in varying music styles. The cool bit is that Ashley isn't trying to pretend to be an "artiste/musician", but is just having fun, making catchy pop tunes that her fans will dig. Her vocals are tinged with a sweetness, that is fun, and sufficiently strong. The backing band/musicians sounds decent, and don't try to overplay, but hit all the catchy hooks with aplomb.
The lyrics are again light and geared straight to the heart of the topics all teens like to sing/hear about (i.e. rebellion, relationships, gossip, etc.). I guarantee her singles will play heavily on all radio playlists because her popularity and her music is so catchy (i.e. easy to remember/sing-a-long to). And that's her point, as I think she knows her music is good enough to be a "guilty pleasure". What I mean by this, is that her music will probably transcend age demographics on this album because she most definitely has the cross over appeal of an Avril, Miley Cyrus, and early Britney Spears. Ashley Tisdale has that wholesome "girl next door" quality that parents are accepting to, however, let's just hope she doesn't go down the "Britney" sexual musical path (Ashley doesn't need to, her popularity is already immense).
Her producers did a great job and the sound quality is top notch, however, a little too much treble/tinny (I prefer a strong rhythm/bass bottom end in the mix). I like the fact that she tried to mix up her album songs with tracks with a R&B flavor, Hip Hop, ballads, etc. Mixing it up definitely shows she's isn't afraid to try new things to grow and mature with her music.
In summary, a good effort, a fun album with catchy pop hooks, clean/sweet vocals from a rising star – and potential superstar in the music industry. Have a great summer Ashley, you're report card was alright, it's O.K!

Name: Rubberheadbanditz (Hovedstaden, Denmark)
Genre: Electro/Pop/Rock
Major/Indie/Unsigned: Unsigned
Overall Rating (out of 4): 3
Musicality – They produce a very rhythmic sound, with thudding punchy basslines, weaving guitar lead licks, and catchy vocals. I love the variety of sounds that mix together from real instruments to synthesized sounds. For example, they use the tambourine (works well!), in other tracks they use monkey sounds and even a cash register opening closing. Very creative songwriters!
Singing – Clear vocals make all the lyrics simple to hear. They have strong singing vocals, but not only that, they mix it up with rap rhyming, talking, and even a little beat boxing. You will not be bored by the vocals.
Lyrics – Entertaining, humorous, and witty. These guys sing about regular issues that everyone deals with (i.e. money problems, stress, etc.), however, these guys put a fun spin on these themes. Just listen to a their songs, you'll know what I mean.
Flow/Rhythm – Rubberheadbanditz definitely have a funky groove that is very catchy. I'm sure it would get a whole lot of people dancing, jumping and partying to.
Freshness – Oh yeah, they have a fresh sound. I would say their sound is pretty unique and the closest similar musician that I can think off the top my head would be: Fatboy Slim and maybe Beck. It calls down to would listeners want to listen to their music repeated times, and I'm pretty confident they would playing it over and over in their Ipod's.
Technicality/Recording – A very professional sound, especially considering all the effects, samples, and real instruments that they had to mix together.
Visuals – Rubberheadbanditz are just beginning their marketing and branding on the internet. They have a good Myspace page, however, they could spruce it up with some more graphics and visuals, but a good start. As well, they just started their own Youtube channel in April 2009. So, they are getting their music out there, it's just a matter of time before people catch on. I just encourage them to keep performing, writing new music, putting more music on the internet, and maybe start an internet "street team".
Top 2 Songs:
1. Revolution! (Crazy beat boxing with funky sonic jumping track, with Zack de la Rocha sounding vocals) Unfortunately no videos or live performances of this song yet!
2. Stress (Super catchy tune, rhythmic bass & beats, and the vocals tell an interesting story)
2. Remember Me (Funky synth bass groove, catchy vocals, and of course tambourines!)

Cain and Abel
"And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him."
(Genesis 4:8 KJV)
Cain and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve, born after they were evicted from the Garden of Eden by Our Awesome God. Cain, like his parents, sinned against God. Cain killed his brother, he lied about it to God and he never felt sorry he had done these things. So Cain roamed his part of the world building cities until he died.
Why did Our Awesome God have this situation included in His Holy Bible? God always has a purpose for man's good. Here are a few things that we should remember: 1) God always warns us and even offers a way for us to escape (Genesis 4:6-7), 2) what we do is an outward statement of our thoughts (Genesis 4:8-9), 3) punishment does not mean that we repent of our sin (Genesis 4:13) and 4) the world is not the real Judge, God is (Genesis 4:11-12). God does all the above because He loves you. Sin brings consequences to the sinner.
Cain's grain offering was not what God required for a sin offering and Cain knew it. It was unacceptable because his heart was not broken and repentant toward the things he had done wrong. This is a problem that Our Awesome God knows since He knows every thought you have. We need to realize that our lack of repentance put stripes on Jesus Christ's back and created more humiliation for our Creator and Savor, even as Cain's did.
This is where we need to look at our own lives. Are we sorry for what we've done wrong and are we willing to do or try to do better? If not, don't bring it to Our Awesome God. He will know you aren't repentant. He will know if you will really try to stop sinning. God warns you and offers a way out of your problem. He loves you. No one loves you as God does! Repent, then seek God!
Learn more about Our Awesome God by reading His Holy Bible, praying to Him and worshipping in a church which preaches and teaches the Holy Bible. Join us at Living Word Baptist Church as we pray and worship Him this Sunday at 10:30 AM and at 6:00 PM for Bible Study. On Wednesdays, we meet at 7:00 PM for Prayer Requests, and a Bible Study follows until 8:00 PM. First, it is time that you should know and love Our Awesome God as your creator and Savior. We can show you how from the Word of God and we love visitors.

The London Olympics are still a month away, but Karl Towns already has a gold medal. The 6-foot-10 rising sophomore at St. Joseph-Metuchen High School earned his first piece of international hardware as a member of the Dominican Republic national team, which won the Centrobasket Tournament Sunday with an 80-72 decision over Puerto Rico in the final.
Next up for Towns and the John Calipari-coached Dominicans is the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, which begins July 2 in Caracas, Venezuela. The top three finishers there earn the final spots in the bracket at the London Games. There is also a scheduled "friendly" against the U.S. Olympic team July 12 in Las Vegas. That will air on ESPN2.
Hoops Haven caught up with Towns via phone today to talk about the experience so far. Here is the conversation with the Piscataway resident:
Q. What's the experience been like so far?
A. "Amazing. Playing all these great players from overseas and in the NBA is making me a better player."
Q. How much game time have you seen?
A. "I got minutes here and there. In the big games Coach Cal wanted to keep the top people in. We knew they could get the job done. Most games when we played well and had a lead, me and some other guys went in."
Q. What's it like getting a gold medal?
A. "It was a great feeling knowing that I have a gold medal and now I can put it next to my state championship ring. Knowing all the success that God's given me, it's really a blessing. I just want to keep succeeding."
Q. Now that you've been practicing with the national team for several weeks, what has the adjustment been like for you?
A. "I'm getting used to a faster-paced game. I'm working hard on my whole body. The biggest thing I've worked on is the low-post game. Now that's becoming a strength, going to the post and backing people up. I can still shoot the 3, but posting up a guy like Samardo Samuels, that's a great experience. When I come back to the high school level I'll be 10 times better than I was last year."
Q. How have the pros treated you?
A. "They've given me a lot of respect. They all want to see me succeed. It shows that the NBA and international players, they all have a good respect for each other."
Q. Coming off this title, what's the mindset heading into next week's Olympic qualifying tournament?
A. "We're super fired up. We just got one gold medal, and we're taking all the great feelings over to Venezuela. I think we're going to qualify for (London), and maybe not only qualify but win gold."
Q. Sounds like you're having a blast.
A. I'm having a great time. We're going around the world, playing basketball. Life could not be any sweeter."

The following are my tentative predictions for the 2009 Academy Awards.
Best Picture
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
*I'm being pretty risky with my picks this year, with the Slumdog train constantly picking up momentum, but this was such an incredible film. And winning would help make up for Zodiac not receiving one nomination last year.
Best Director
David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
*Even if Slumdog manages to take best picture over Button, Fincher still deserves the best director award. (Did I mention that Zodiac didn't receive on enomination last year?)
Best Screenplay (Adapted)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Eric Roth)
*From what I've heard (Planning on reading the short story soon), Roth's adaptation took the story to a whole nother level. It definitely has it's Forrest Gump influences, but it's still a great story.
Best Screenplay (Original)
In Bruges (Martin McDonagh)
*There's a lot of good competition this year, so it's a hard call to make. Relative newcomer McDonagh wrote a mighty fine script. The underdog award goes to him.
Best Actor
Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler)
*Just watch The Wrestler, already.
Best Actress
Kate Winslet (The Reader)
*I admit that I haven't seen The Reader yet, but I plan doing so before the ceremony. Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep also have a decent chance here as well.
Best Supporting Actor
Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
*Especially in a year where there isn't much competition in the supporting actor award (Why is Josh Brolin in there?), this is a lock.
Best Supporting Actress
Penélope Cruz (Vicky Cristina Barcelona)
*Again, haven't seen it, but it should be coming in via NetFlix today. I wouldn't mind seeing Amy Adams or Marisa Tomei taking the award, either.
Best Animated Feature
*Grade A work from Pixar, from start to finish.
Best Documentary Feature
Man on Wire
*Totally took my breath away; kicking myself that I didn't see this in the theater when I had the chance. It is nice to see Herzog nominated as well, though it's not one of his best films. I still have to see the other three nominations.
Best Foreign Language Feature
Waltz With Bashir
*I'm picking this solely on the buzz. I haven't seen any of the films in this category yet.
I'll continue with the technical awards at a later date…

The suddenness of Jabong acquisition followed by gloating tweets and letters of Flipkart founders Sachin and Binny Bansal was enough to make everyone sit and exclaim, 'What a masterstroke by Flipkart!'
But as we see the initial excitement settling down, the scrutinization has started to find out if it indeed was a major coup or the opposite.
Flipkart has gained a massive lead by buying fashion etailer Jabong. With 70% of online fashion market in its control, online marketplaces Amazon, Snapdeal and niche fashion players are set to lose a major portion of their market share.
Things would have been different if Jabong was acquired by Snapdeal. Flipkart-Myntra would have had to fight with Snapdeal-Jabong, Amazon Fashion, retail giants' online portals and other small fashion etailers. But the Bansals have prevented that from happening.
If the etailer succeeds in integrating Jabong, Myntra and the fashion vertical on its marketplace platform, then it would be easy for Flipkart to dominate the online fashion industry.
Can we overlook the fact that Jabong was up for sale with no takers in sight for a long time? The firm did what it could to increase revenue (it worked too), but the losses kept piling up.
Add to this, the ongoing legal battle about corporate governance violations by Jabong's former top managers. In fact, Snapdeal's CEO Kunal Bahl said that their negotiation with Jabong failed because it wasn't a 'clean target.' Bahl said,
"We have a high bar when it comes to governance, regulations, and compliance. Unless a company can clear that bar, we have issue."
Flipkart is already dealing with recurrent valuation markdowns, fund crunch and Myntra's cash burn. Will it possible for the etailer to handle the additional burden of Jabong's debt?
While the love triangle with a jilted lover – Flipkart, Jabong and Snapdeal, caught everyone's attention, Amazon launched its Prime service around the same time.
In the last few days, the US-based marketplace has announced a range of services, updates and initiatives such as 2-Hour hyper-local delivery service, expansion plans for Global Seller programme, Amazon Pantry and largest fulfilment centre in Haryana. Amazon has been slowly and steadily working towards building a loyal customer and seller base.
Chinese ecommerce leader Alibaba too is assembling its core India team, and strengthening ecommerce, payments & logistics.
Industry experts feel that Jabong could be a distraction for Flipkart. If the driving force behind the decision to acquire the fashion portal was just to buy out a competitor and spoil another competitor's game plan, then Flipkart succeeded in doing it. But in the bargain, are they at the risk of losing focus and inheriting liabilities?

it's always nice to take a break and be away from the computer for a while, which is exactly what i did this weekend. it's even nicer to return and have some really nice messages waiting. here is one from corey. she writes about a handmade card her daughter gave her for mother's day…
The bottom is a sheet of homemade paper with flower seeds mixed in so I can plant it directly in the ground and it will produce some lovely annuals to last me all season. The top is two layers of colorful construction paper with a message from Rhetta written on the top. All are tied together with a string of rattan – is that what that stuff is called? It's just lovely and I'm not going to plant it. If she'll let me I'm gonna keep it like that forever. ?
i call that ribbon "raffia", and i have a spool of it in my kitchen drawer. i use it to tie up and dry herbs, and for wrapping little gifts. such a nice little touch, rhetta! (as an aside: apparently, raffia is made from palm trees. who knew!)
thanks for sharing, corey!
the seeded paper got me thinking. i know that places like michael's carry that kind of paper already made in their scrapbooking section. but i wondered if there was a tutorial out there that describes how someone could make paper with seeds of their choosing. so that it could be even more personalized. herbs for someone who loves to cook, daisies for someone who loves wildflowers…
and sure enough, there was this tutorial on canadian living's website. it seems fairly straightforward. directly from the site:
You need:
20 sheets recyclable paper (such as flyers or phone book pages)
Food colouring (optional)
Flower or herb seeds
Sponge, paper or terry-cloth towel
the rest of the instructions are here. anyone out there want to give it a try and let me know how it turns out? c'mon! you know you want to! :-)
did you receive any adorable handmades this weekend from your kids? drop me a line and let me know. i may share it here, with your permission, of course!
have a great day!

Scombrids are characterized by two dorsal fins that fold into grooves; 5-12 distinct finlets behind the second dorsal and anal fins; the pelvic fins have six rays and are situated below the pectoral fins; the scales are small and smooth; the slender tail base has at least two small keels on each side, sometimes with is a larger keel in between. Unlike typical "cold-blooded" fishes, some tunas have body temperatures several degrees warmer than the surrounding sea.
The scombrids, tunas, mackerels, and bonitos commonly known as, are well known fishes that form the basis of valuable commercial fisheries in many tropical to subtropical regions. Over the past 10 years world catches have generally fluctuated between about five and six million tonnes annually. These fishes are also highly prized by recreational anglers, and throughout much of the world they support important subsistence fisheries. All species are powerful swimmers and some undergo extensive annual migrations. Worldwide the group contains 54 species in 15 genera. In our region 16 species from eight genera are known, six endemics, seven circumtropical species, two Indo-Pacific and one Pacific species.

Today the full-sized sedan market is just as hot as ever. Hyundai now having moved well up market, handed us the keys to their Azera sedan for a week to see how it compares to rivals like the Toyota Avalon, Ford Taurus, and Buick LaCrosse.
At first sight, Hyundai's Azera has a handsome and artistic design with a well balanced silhouette. It almost has the presence of a luxury speed boat in its details and presentation with sleek lines and flourishes that bring motion with them.
A look at the slender chrome line originating from its Xenon headlights which flows back into the green house or the rear hip line that sails gracefully into the rear deck, you just see it all comes together naturally and without pretentiousness.
Inside, the cabin offers up the same theme of flowing lines and sculpted forms which surround a spacious and comfortable environment for five passengers. The dash, doors and console all flow together, telling you the designers really put in the effort.
There are a variety of unique finishes and soft touch materials come together well to set a relaxing mood, which even has accent back-lighting at night. Our Limited had all the popular features like touch screen infotainment and navigation, heated and cooled seats, and a large two-panel panoramic roof that really lights up the space.
The cockpit is pleasing to the eye and offers up most controls within easy reach. A center stack with a winged design has traditional controls for HVAC and audio functions to go along with touchscreen menus.
While the cabin is very well executed, the console storage doors and trim around the shifter are uncharacteristically flimsy and cheap in their feel and execution. They seem very much out of place with the rest of the interior which has much higher quality materials.
The infotainment screen offers up an "I Agree" button that must be pressed every time you start the car to see your radio stations, navigation screen or menus. It's a disclaimer that the company's lawyers no doubt require, but it's a bit of an annoyance most other brands don't foist upon you.
Once past the legal disclaimer however the touchscreen infotainment and navigation system is one of the more easy to use with intuitive menus, clear readable graphics, and responds well to your touch.
The seating surfaces have rich leather with perforated center sections to aid in the ventilation feature which worked exceptionally well here in our Arizona heat. Both driver and passenger enjoy power seats adjustable with a door mounted panel shaped like the seat.
Rear seat room is commodious with generous leg room as well as head room. The door opening is large enough for ease of entry without hitting your head despite the fast roof line. Missing on this top level model is rear controls for HVAC however.
The trunk's cargo volume is one of the smaller in its class with some 16.3 cubic feet, the competition offering up to 20 cubic feet. Rear seats do fold down with a 60/40 split, offering a pass-through area for longer items.
Under the hood is a DOHC 3.3 liter V6 with direct-injection making 293 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. It's teamed up with a smooth shifting six-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode.
Power from the V6 is good but requires high revs to really dip into, the torque coming on at a relatively high RPM level. This makes spirited driving a bit of a noisy experience as the engine get a bit grainy when pushed.
The Azera rides on a long 112" wheelbase, is 73" wide and weighs in at 3,825 lbs, making it a substantially sized car by today's standards all of which contribute to its solid feel on the road.
The ride is as expected very quiet and smooth. The only exception is the occasional tar strip, man-hole cover or pot hole can feel somewhat brittle due to the larger 19" wheels on our tester. A lesser trim level with 18" wheels would provide a softer ride.
Starting at $31,000, the 2014 Hyundai Azera isn't the least expensive in its class but makes the value play by offering more power, the most interior space as well as standard features like leather seats and back-up camera just to name a few.
The EPA rates the 2014 Hyundai Azera Limited at 19 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. We achieved a combined observed fuel economy of 25.6 mpg which was a good deal more than expected, which is always a bonus.

After pick up from your hotel we are leaving Perth headed north along the coast towards Cervantes, the entrance to Nambung National Park. The Pinnacles are among the most visited natural wonders of the state. Thousands of limestone pillars rise out of a stark landscape of yellow sand. There is ample time to explore the area and to take some colourful photos from these amazing formations. These impressions of lights and colours will stay with you for many years to come. We head north along the coast via Jurien Bay and Leeman towards Geraldton, the sunniest town in W.A. A visit to Mount Scott gives you the opportunity of an outlook over the town of Geraldton and Grey's Bay. Here is also the memorial for the victims of the sunken warship HMAS Sydney II. Our sightseeing tour concludes by visiting the architecturally interesting St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in the town centre.
Accommodation: Best Western Hospitality Inn, Geraldton
Day 2 Geraldton – Kalbarri B
The beautiful aerial scenic flight includes overflying the fascinating islands in the Pelsaert Group, the Easter Group and the Wallabi Group. In 1629, this was the scene of the famous mutiny of the Batavia. Back on dry land, we enter the Kalbarri National Park via Port Gregory. You can experience some of the most picturesque grazing land as well as the rough coastline. In the early evening we will arrive in the "laid back village" of Kalbarri.
Accommodation: Kalbarri Palm Resort, Kalbarri
Day 3 Kalbarri – Monkey Mia (Shark Bay) B
After breakfast we will visit Kalbarri National Park for a second time where we enjoy the breathtaking view into the Murchison Gorge. Depending upon the season, our drive through the Kalbarri National Park to the World Heritage area of Shark Bay will be escorted by the famous wildflowers. In the afternoon we arrive in Monkey Mia, home of the well-known dolphins. Nearly every day of the year they come to the shore to give you a unique experience that will never be forgotten. After dinner a local Aborigine will introduce us on a walk into the indigenous culture. Enjoy the dreamtime stories and the sound of the didgeridoo under the clear and bright night sky of Australia's Outback Coast.
Accommodation: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Shark Bay
Day 4 Monkey Mia (Shark Bay) – Carnarvon B
In the morning you have the opportunity to come face to face with these famous dolphins. Before our first stop at Shell Beach we pay homage to this World Natural Heritage area with a visit to the Shark Bay Interpretive Centre in Denham. We will stop again, this time at Hamelin Pool where the world best known colony of stromatolites can be admired. Typical "Outback Australian impressions" will accompany you on the drive to Carnarvon.
Accommodation: Best Western Hospitality Inn, Carnarvon
Day 5 Carnarvon – Coral Bay (Ningaloo Reef) B
After enjoying breakfast our today's destination will be beautiful Coral Bay. Here, we will encounter the 260 km long natural wonder of the Ningaloo Reef. Specialists say that the marine life of this reef is more abundant than that found at the Great Barrier Reef. As the reef is not far from shore it can be readily available to discover with the aid of snorkel and flippers on an outing in a glass-bottom- boat. The shallow water of the reef is the homeland to various sea creatures, such as corals, unusual sea stars, crustaceans and over 500 species of different fishes. The rest of the day is for leisure.
Accommodation: Ningaloo Reef Resort, Coral Bay
Day 6 Coral Bay – Exmouth (Ningaloo Reef) B
Today we take up our journey to Exmouth. Breathtaking views from Vlaming Head Lighthouse across North West Cape, beautiful Ningaloo Reef and gigantic antennas of the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt. During our short stroll in Mandu Mandu Gorge we are looking out for some rare inhabitants, Black Footed Rock Wallabies. Turquoise Bay creates the perfect scenes for some relaxation, contemplation on the many impressions of the past days, and the temptation of the effervescent Indian Ocean for a refreshing swim. Late afternoon we return to our accommodation in Exmouth.
Accommodation: Mantarays Beach Resort, Exmouth
Day 7 Exmouth – Karijini National Park B
Today, we are driving in a north-easterly direction across the Pilbara region. The traditional owners called their land "bilypara", which could be translated with "dry". No wonder: This area, which is twice as large as Germany, half of it consisting of desert and red coloured crests. Today's accommodation is to be found in the heart of Karijini National Park. What a fantastic atmosphere and a guaranteed good night sleep!
Accommodation: Karijini Eco Retreat, Karijini National Park
Day 8 Karijini National Park B/L
The rock formations of Western Australia's second biggest National Park belong to the oldest ones in the world, the landscape most impressive and colourful. The plateau which is rich in iron ore and therefore colored intensively red brown, offers spectacular lookouts and many gorges with permanent water pools. We walk down through the changing vegetation of the iron-rich gorge walls to the park's only permanent waterfall. Just a short distance from Fortescue Falls, you can swim in the refreshing, spring fed Fern Pool. Finally, we visit the spectacular vantage point of the Oxer Lookout with its fantastic view on four gorges joining each other.
Accommodation: Karijini Eco Retreat, Karijini National Park
Day 9 Karijini National Park – Port Hedland B/L
In the Tom Price region gigantic Open Cut excavation mining of iron ore is being carried out. In the course of the morning a visit to one of these mines enables us to capture impressions of the unbelievable ratio and dimensions on the Australian continent. The intensive colours of all these different rock formations combined with the awesome gorges leave an unforgettable experience. About midday we depart Western Australia's iron ore region and head for Port Hedland, Australia's busiest iron-ore shipping port. We might – if lucky – sight an endless iron ore train wheeling into or out of the port
Accommodation: Best Western Hospitality Inn, Port Hedland
Day 10 Port Hedland – Broome B
On our journey towards Broome we travel along the edge of The Great Sandy Desert with its small and meagre vegetation. Most of Australia's northern coastline is bordered by extensive mangrove forest. One important exemption is Eighty Mile Beach. Enjoy the beauty of this white sandy beach and turquoise water of the Indian Ocean, renowned for fishing and shell collecting. Stingrays, stonefish and sharks are in abundance and good reasons to stay ashore. We reach Broome – Australia's pearling capital – in the early evening.
Accommodation: Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome
Day 11 Broome (& Horizontal Falls Tour, optional) B
Having a population of about 15,000 people, Broome is the commercial and touristic centre of the Kimberley. Chinatown, the rather small downtown area with its Asian touch is the focus of all urban activities. Sun Picture, the world's oldest picture garden is surrounded by lots of cafés, restaurants, galleries, souvenir shops, jewellery shops and pearl jewellery shops. Ultimately Broome was and still is a world known pearling centre. Whereas in the past, mother of pearl was the main reason and big business, it is cultured pearl in modern days. Pearl diving has always been considered one of the most dangerous occupations, and one that has cost many lives. Evidence of this fact can be seen at the historic gravesites of the Chinese Cemetery and Japanese Cemetery. At Gantheaume Point, where red coloured sandstone rocks meet the deep blue ocean, a 130-million-year-old dinosaur's footprint can be seen at a very low tide.
*optional ½ day: Australia is different in many ways. Here you'll even find horizontal waterfalls! The Horizontal Falls, described as one of the greatest natural wonders of the world, are located deep within the pristine environment of Talbot Bay. And that is exactly what you are going to experience today! From Broome, you fly to the Horizontal Falls. Experience a spectacular seaplane landing on the calm waters of Talbot Bay. Board "Jet Stream", the fastest boat in the Kimberley. Experience an exhilarating thrill ride through the Horizontal Waterfalls. Now it is time to sit back and relax as you cruise through the spectacular untouched surrounding bays and creeks. You take off from Talbot Bay flying low level across the Buccaneer Archipelago, Cape Leveque, Beagle Bay, Willie Creek Pearl Farm and Cable Beach. You will be transferred back to your hotel.
*The Horizontal Falls are a natural phenomenon, which is influenced by daily changing tides. Tours therefore only take place when the predicted tidal movements are not equal to zero.
Accommodation: Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome
Day 12 Broome – Fitzroy Crossing B
In the pristine and warm water of the Indian Ocean around Broome you'll find pearls which are among the most sought worldwide. Up until 1930 this small fishing town has met three quarters of the world's pearling supplies and has become Australia's pearling metropolis. By visiting the only pearl farm open to tourists in the Kimberley, you are given an insight into the pearling industry and its history. After this neat and informative visit, we leave Broome northwards. Near Derby we visit its main attraction with a dark past, the prison tree. In the hollow trunk of the old Boab tree, Aboriginals were imprisoned. Today, the bulbous giant is protected and should not be entered out of respect for this place and its history. On the Northern Highway No 1 we travel comfortably towards Fitzroy Crossing, our destination for the day.
Accommodation: Fitzroy River Lodge, Fitzroy Crossing
Day 13 Fitzroy Crossing – Mt Hart Homestead B/PL/D
On its way to the Indian Ocean the mighty Fitzroy River crosses Geikie Range, a ragged limestone ground. On a length of 14 km the river exposed the walls of the prehistoric Devonian Great Barrier Reef. The so incurred canyon, Geikie Gorge, is the heart of the National Park. Whilst on a cruise through the canyon we will have the possibility to observe freshwater crocodiles and to gaze and wonder at the remaining dry coral reef now present by the coloured limestone walls of the canyon. Finally, we are starting our Kimberley adventure: Our first section on the Gibb River Road which for many people is the ultimate thrill of all of Australia's off-road roads. It is one of the most famous tracks in Australia's northwest region. This legendary cattle track, the so-called "Beef Road", was originally constructed to enable the farmers of the isolated north-western part of Western Australia to drive their cattle to the ports of Derby and Wyndham. We have a very special surprise for you waiting in Tunnel Creek National Park: We will not walk across the park but we will wade through it. The track follows the streambed of Tunnel Creek along a 750 m long cave system – the oldest in Western Australia – below Napier Range. The approach to Windjana Gorge National Park is very impressive. The vertical rock faces of the Napier Range look like an insuperable wall. Dating back approximately 350 million years ago a shallow tropical sea covered a large proportion of this area and formed a coral reef over 1,000 km in length. Fossils can still be found embedded in the walls of Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek. In the early evening we will arrive at Mt Hart Homestead. We enjoy dinner in a fantastic atmosphere.
Accommodation: Mt Hart Homestead, Gibb River Road
Day 14 Mt Hart Homestead – Home Valley Station
The highlights of today's leg are undoubtedly the different gorges and canyons. Our first stop is Galvans Gorge. It is not exactly a gorge but more of a very idyllic pool nestled in between big rocks. As this location was already much loved by the traditional owners they have left their rock art. We are talking about Wandjinas, the charismatic creatures of the ancestors of the Kimberley. Close to Mt Barnett Roadhouse we visit the pretty Manning Gorge with its crystal-clear water. It is also regarded as a popular spot to observe the versatile bird life. In the late afternoon we arrive at Home Valley Station. This cattle station is still in operation and is managed by local Aborigines.
Accommodation: Home Valley Station, Gibb River Road
Day 15 Home Valley Station – Kununurra B
Today, we will soon cross Pentecost River. Dust and dirt, river crossings, corrugation: The legendary Gibb River Road stands for infinite driving pleasure. The journey is the reward. Provisions are the breathtaking natural beauties of the Kimberley region.

Trip to the Wash D.C. Vietnam Memorial
I reconfirmed the date of June 4th with Dawson's bus service today. The bus will pick us up at the North End of the Old Blue Hen Mall, near the Firestone store, at 9 am. We will return at 5 pm.
We will not be stopping for lunch as there are plenty of street vendors available in the area of the monuments.
As a reminder, we have about 25 seats still available. The trip is open to friends, family and generally anyone interested. Please do what you can to help fill the buses. If there are any questions, call 302-242-2232 and I'll do what I can to get your answer for you.
There have been questions regarding the buses and their access/accomodations for those with wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility devices. Dawson's has assured me their buses are handicapped accessible and there will be plenty of storage for these devices under the seating area.

Perhaps one of the most luxurious massages in current times is a Hot Stone Treatment. Originating from ancient Native American traditions that use the applications of thermotherapy, Hot Stone Therapy uses heated volcanic basalt stones and cold marble stones to provide a 'passive workout' leaving the receiver in a state of deep relaxation, positivity and balance.
It is thought that one treatment using hot stones is equivalent to three body massages due to the penetrative effect of hot stones on body tissue.
Benefits may include increased circulation, greater elimination of toxins from the body and deep relaxation of the muscles. As such, the treatment may be good for stress and tension, muscle spasms and fatigue.

Telework and ICT-based mobile work: Flexible working in the digital age
Advances in ICT have opened the door to new ways of organising work. We are shifting from a regular, bureaucratic and 'factory-based' working time pattern towards a more flexible model of work. Telework and ICT-based mobile work (TICTM) has emerged in this transition, giving workers and employers the ability to adapt the time and location of work to their needs. Despite the flexibility and higher level of worker autonomy inherent in TICTM, there are risks that this work arrangement leads to the deterioration of work–life balance, higher stress levels and failing worker health.

The meaning behind individual pieces of jewelry can be as beautiful as the actual appearance of the jewelry. Jewelry holds on to memories of important and happy occasions and pays respect to the owner and giver's relationship. Learning more about all kinds of jewelry can help you preserve your memories and having more rewarding buying and selling experiences.
Use a polishing cloth for all of your jewelry pieces. In this way, you will not have to deal with chemicals or solvents while you achieve the shine you love. Use the two-sided cloth to polish your jewelry as if you were cleaning glass. Use the polishing side first and, then the other side to make your jewelry shine.
Don't use acetone, ammonia, turpentine, bleach, or other harsh chemicals for cleaning them. Harsh chemicals can destroy the enamel, and ruin the stones in your jewelry.
Store your jewelry in a place that is not subjected to humidity extremes or open air. It's best to store it in a closed box, like a jewelry box, or a drawstring bag. Being submitted to extreme humidity and temperature can cause your pieces to tarnish. Precious metals can often be polished to remove most tarnish. Non-precious metals often have a single coat of metal. Therefore, polishing them can remove the coat and show the copper that is found underneath.
When purchasing sterling silver, take along a good magnifying glass, along with a small magnet. As a precious metal, silver should never be attracted to a magnet. You will always find a hallmark stamp such as ".925″ or "STER." on genuine sterling, or alternately, it might simply say, "STERLING". Be wary of jewelery without any kind of hallmark, as often it is fake.
Knowing what type of jewel you are buying when you purchase jewelry is very important. Gems are divided into three main categories: imitation, synthetic and natural. Both synthetic and natural gems are real; however, imitation is simply plastic. Synthetic gems are grown in a lab, natural gems are dug out of the Earth.
Before you buy any new jewelry, you should look around for the latest trends. Getting a great deal on beautiful bauble makes getting it even more enjoyable.
Ask about a jeweler's insurance policy before buying anything. This is so that if something happens to your piece, you can return it to have it replaced or repaired. In some cases, insurance policies will cover lost, misplaced or stolen pieces.
To invest in jewelry is to invest in a memory, and that is a truly priceless pursuit. Every piece of jewelry has the ability to carry huge amounts of emotion, whether it is memories of a good time or hope for the future.

We all need to learn how to save money by using things we have for planting your garden without risking the quality of the vegetable or flowers that we grow. Paying exorbitant prices for pots will destroy your planned budget. Therefore I hope to give you a few ideas on how to make use of what you have around your home without buying exotic planting pots and gardening options.
You will be surprised at how your creativity can excel with a little imagination and ingenuity on your part with a little help from this article.
Old laundry troughs
The old cement laundry trough makes a great garden pot. You can plant virtually anything in this from herbs, vegetables or even flowers. I am using mine at the moment after shifting homes to put my garlic, onions and a couple of silver beet in. You can be creative and decorate these by gluing a few tiles on them to.
To create good drainage you could put a few rocks in the bottom and even tilt it a little so the water will drain naturally out through the plug hole.
Old work boots
These make a great planter feature. You could use this to grow your herbs or a small tropical plant. The more the sole is worn the better the drainage will be. Never throw them away even if the stitching is broken. These can be painted in different colors with or without the laces left in.
Wheel barrows
Wheelbarrows have been featured in gardens for centuries. Many of these are used in front gardens as a floral display of petunias or flowers of your choice. Again these can be painted to suit your particular garden.
The old beer fridge
So the old beer fridge has died then do not drag it off to the tip. Instead take the door off, if this is flat then you can make yourself another table out of it by using an old table that the top looks worn or if you are a handy person you can build a frame from either steel or wood to fit this door onto. Paint it in your favorite color and you have a new solid table.
Now you need to remove all the trays and unscrew all the bits and pieces from inside the fridge. These trays can be used to fence of a section of your garden. Again these can be painted to go with the decor of your garden. Be careful as the fridge will still have gas inside the pipes. Move this to the required position, put a few drainage holes in the base add a few rocks to help with drainage then add your potting mix and fertilizer.
Now plant your new vegetable garden. This would be a great one to plant the root vegetables as it is deeper than some of the others and you do not want to waste the depth or potting mix on surface plants. Vegetables like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, swedes or even radishes will love this.
Old plastic containers
You can use any old plastic containers for planters. You will need to wash them out thoroughly then wash again with bleach to kill any chemicals. Carefully cut off the top with a sharp knife or a grinder. Put a few holes in the bottom and then add your potting mix. These are great for small shrubs, single tomato plants, dwarf fruit trees or anything that does not have large root growth.
Cooking pots and pans
Do not throw out the old pots and pans that have worn a hole in their base. They also make great planter pots (although you could also sell them for scrap metal, but that's another story). It will depend on the size of the pots as to what you can grow in these. They can also be used for a great feature. The one in the picture has been handed down through the family and is looking rather sorry for itself now with most of the base missing. The plant is still growing though.
Make the most of whatever kinds of things you use, try to dress them up and decorate them as feature planters or useful growing pots to spread about in your wonderful vegetable and flowering gardens.
If you use anything lying around your home you will save you money instead of outlaying your hard earned dollars to grow your plants in your garden. Plus by growing your own vegetables you will be healthier knowing they are home grown and chemically free. You cannot beat eating fresh vegetables, salads and herbs grown from your own garden.

I have to take a minute to brag on my awesome husband. Keith is so thoughtful and does so much for me! So, although I certainly didn't expect any type of gift when Graham was born, I wasn't completely shocked because that is just how Keith is. So sweet!
But, this gift blew me away. As did the ring he gave me when Sawyer was born. And a huge thanks to my buddy, Ashley, who hooked him up. Actually, she's given my whole family great deals on some awesome jewelry.
Aquamarine studs with a diamond jacket.
The best part is the jacket is removable so I can wear it with my diamond studs that he gave me when we got married.
These pictures don't really do them justice!
Both of the gifts he's given me when the boys have been born mean so much! I love being reminded of my precious babies and their special days every time I wear them!
I'm in love with them and my husband!!

Standing on a street corner for hours on end
counting bicycles one by one might not rank as the most exciting thing in the world. It's more exciting than watching paint dry, but not exactly a coveted task, particularly at 7 in the morning. Within the next few weeks, you'll be seeing brave and bored souls posted at street corners and bike racks around town, doing just that: counting bikes. And for very good reason.
See, the thing about asking for things such as new bike lanes and racks, or bicycle access to MARC trains, or some new effing concrete for the bombed-out cycle track ringing the harbor, is that we as cyclists need to be able to prove that there's a demand. Where there's demand, there are votes—and that's how the whole machine is supposed to run, isn't it?
The counting is part of the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project, which is just what's outlined above: documenting bike traffic and, thus, demand. In Baltimore, it's being organized by the city's Department of Transportation, and actually carried out by volunteers.
Imagine the documentation project, the second count of 2011, as pencil marks on a doorframe, measuring how the city grows up as a cycling hub. Actual rubber on concrete is ultimately the best measurement you can take. Bike lanes, traffic enforcement, and all the rest of the things that Baltimore cyclists need are just a means to an end: more cyclists.
Of course, that makes for one of those crappy relationships of needing to prove demand in order to get better bike facilities . . . to increase demand. So it ultimately has to be about more than bare demand as represented by numbers. Demand comes also in the fact—demonstrated again and again—that cycling is good for cities. It gets cars off roads and exhaust out of the air, makes people healthier, makes for safer and quieter roads, lessens parking strains, and even improves employee absenteeism.
A study released in December by the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst uses Baltimore as a case study. It found that on-street bike lanes, more than any other kind of transportation infrastructure improvement, lead to effective job growth. "[B]ike lanes, for a given level of spending, create about twice as many jobs as road construction," it contends. Meanwhile, a study done at the University of Wisconsin weighing the value of cycling improvements finds that bicycling as an industry contributes $1.5 billion annually to Maryland.
That's all fairly old hat by now. Bicycling is awesome—film at 11. But there is still the growing up. You'll find a fair amount of whining and crying about this or that over the next several pages: Bike lanes are spotty, bike share isn't going where it's really needed, and that, all around, Baltimore's growth sometimes seems stunted. We complain because we care—and we want to feel safe riding a bike in the city. Sorry, but if the Baltimore Police Department is announcing
the same day
that it isn't likely to press charges or give citations in an accident that all but killed a Johns Hopkins University student, by all accounts riding legally in a bike lane, it only backs up the overwhelming impression in the cycling community that the cops here don't have our backs.
Finally, last week, almost two months after the accident, the Baltimore Police Department issued two citations to Jeannette Marie Walke, the driver who hit the cyclist, Nathan Krasnopoler: failure to yield right-of-way to a cyclist and negligent driving, each $500 traffic tickets that carry three points. Notably, the change in tone from "no citations" to "we're thoroughly investigating" came only after widespread outcry from cycling advocates in the city.
Which is another part of Baltimore's growing up: People are being louder about bikes in Baltimore. The same week that Walke was cited, Bike Maryland (ne One Less Car) succeeded in toppling its biggest objective: the passage of a manslaughter by criminal negligence bill that's been stalled in the state legislature for years. Essentially, it adds an additional charge—with penalties up to $5,000 and three years in prison—in between minor traffic tickets and full-on felony manslaughter, previously a glaring gap that made it all but impossible to charge a driver beyond a slight ticket (payable by mail).
It's a step, anyway, to making this a safer place to ride. Another is infrastructure, and that's been slow going in Baltimore. The idea of bike sharing is neat and all, but it presumes that what's keeping people off of downtown Baltimore streets isn't that you can count the mileage of actual bike lanes on two hands, but that there isn't a public bicycle available at their fingertips (
, it might make more sense in neighborhoods with infrastructure but poor access to bikes). How's this for growing up: a forthcoming Baltimore café/bar all about bike love, owned by returned hometown hero and mountain-bike downhilling world champion Marla Streb,
. Not asked in our interview: How does a 10-foot drop-off on a snaky forest trail compare to a suddenly disappearing bike lane in midday city traffic? In case,
of those in this issue too.

(Hewhocorrupts) They recently had a poll in the Sun-Times to vote for Chicago's all-time greatest rapper, and somehow they left Chica-X…the Roxanne Shante-meet-Kriss Kross-meets-L'Trimm-meets-Peaches! Off the list OK, I guess she isn't actually from Chicago proper, being from the Quad Cities, clear across the state, but it's a relatively narrow state, and if Cheap Trick can open a pizza joint here, Chica-X can belong to us, too! The pre-teen would be tops on my list even if she didn't shout out Chic-A-Go-Go on her latest cassette, as her age-appropriately awkward swagger and fun, sassy attitude makes her the best underage emcee since Linus narrated the Christmas show. To the library!
