Not only does Florida have spectacular coasts on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico but the state also has plenty of other opportunities for relaxing, refreshing, renewing H2O fun -- at many water parks around the state.
Here's a selection of water parks at a variety of Florida destinations where you can cool off during your next trip. Tickets to most of the parks include just admission; others, like Discovery Cove, include food and beverages as well. Always check with the park to see if there are packages and specials, such as Florida Residents discounts, available when you plan to visit. Some parks are open year-round, others just for spring and summer, so check hours of operation at each park's Web site before plunging into trip plans.
Winter Haven --- Legoland Florida Water Park is perfect for visitors of all ages, whether they're looking to relax in the 1,000-foot-long Build-a-Raft River or race down one of the slides. Although the Twin Chasers and Splash Out slides require riders to be at least 48 inches tall, all the tiny tots are welcome to splash around in the Lego Wave Pool, cause a commotion in the Joker Soaker or explore the Duplo Splash Safari. Admission to the Legoland Water Park requires visitors to upgrade their Legoland tickets to the combo package at $15 for adults, children and seniors and $3 for children under three years old.

There are three different slides (Banana Blaster, Coconut Crusher and Pineapple Plunger) to choose from on "Crush 'N' Gusher" --each slide is 410 to 420 feet long with various degrees of descents.

hey, if you don't like it, post on the BB (so you can ask about participating for better) | MilkMiruku
Re: Forest Fundraiser Minutes 28 March
Hi,looks great, would it be easier to have a gold coin donation (pound/2 pound coins) per child, instead of making them free? It is not much, children add up and the parents would be appreciative of the activities offered etc.
It is a fund raiser so that these activities can continue at all. If it is very cost prohibitive then of course "whatever you can give by coin" be accepted, but it is completely suitable I feel for some energy to be received. Praps if they are on an organising commitee, they can be there/children in for free.
I feel the Forest can ask this, and that it will only be taken as the Forest is in need of money...and it is.

Re: Forest Fundraiser Minutes 28 March
Apparently kids are allowed to be around when the bar is open. There is a big line around the bar saying don't come inside this line if you're underage.
Re: Forest Fundraiser Minutes 28 March
Perhaps we should encourage responsible family planning by charging extra for third and subsequent children?
I love the bomb.
Re: Forest Fundraiser Minutes 28 March
To be honest I was shocked when I read that kids would go free =x seems a bit strange considering we're so poor and need money so much D= maybe it might attract more customers if we say "free" but~ I don't think a pound would scare people away either, since it's £5 for adults~ ^_^;

Re: Forest Fundraiser Minutes 28 March
I would also say may kids pay. Especially if there are special activities being put on for them. It's hardly going to make it expensive for families if it's two pounds or one pound. Not like going to the theme park in ocean terminal. BY THE WAY, THERE"S GOING TO BE THEME PARK IN OCEAN TERMINAL. I'm fucking excited.

Several brands of acupressure bands are available. These bands use pressure,
electricity, or both to stimulate the P6 acupuncture point. This point is located about two
finger-widths from the crease on the underside of the wrist. The elastic bands
usually have a raised surface that applies pressure on the wrist. Practitioners
of acupuncture and acupressure believe stimulation of this point may stop
nausea and vomiting.
There is little evidence that acupressure bands work to prevent motion sickness. But the bands have no known side effects, so there is no harm in trying

(Reuters) - Double major winner and world number three Rory McIlroy will tee off alongside U.S. Masters champion Adam Scott at this year's Australian Open in Sydney, organisers said on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Briton, who followed up his 2011 U.S. Open triumph with a victory at last year's U.S. PGA Championship, will return to play the tournament held at the Royal Sydney Golf Club from November 28-December 1 after a seven-year absence.
It will mark the first time he has taken part in the event since 2006, when he finished in a tie for 59th competing as an amateur.
The event, co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the PGA Tour of Australasia, will also witness a home appearance for Australia's world number four Scott, who became the first golfer from his country to triumph at Augusta National earlier this year.
"It's been a few years since I last competed in an Australian Open," McIlroy, who also played in the Australian Masters in 2007 in Melbourne and finished tied for 15th, said in a statement from the organisers.
"I am very much looking forward to returning to Royal Sydney."
Former world number one McIlroy, who has endured a patchy season, showed glimpses of a return to form at last week's U.S. PGA Championship at Oak Hill, where he finished in a tie for eighth after flirting with a missed cut in his second round.

"I know some women don't like to give blow jobs or they'll just do it because their man expects them to, but I really like it," Kayla Maze said. "It's fun to start when the guy's dick is not really hard yet because then I get to feel it swell up and get hard in my mouth. That way I know I'm doing him really good. Hearing him moan and feeling his dick wiggle around in my mouth turns me on and makes my pussy wet. Shit, I'm getting wet just thinking about it. If he hasn't already, I like a man to eat my pussy. It really impresses me a lot if a man knows how to eat my pussy. If he's doing it right, I'll cum pretty quickly. If he's really doing it right, I'll cum over and over and end up pushing his head away because my pussy has gotten super-sensitive and I can't take anymore."

Gluten-Free Vegetarian Thanksgiving Pt.2: Cranberry Apples and GF Rolls
Bernice of Wheatless and Meatless joins our Gluten-free Vegetarian Thanksgiving party with a decadent recipe for baked cranberry apples that is a favorite with her family. I love the seasonings she adds to her apple- nutmeg, clove, and cardamon, with nary a cinnamon stick to be found. Don't tell anyone, but I am not too crazy about the powdery brown stuff (cinnamon) but just adore the spark of nutmeg. Cardamon is a favorite with my husband, as it reminds him of his father's Norwegian Christmas bread (Julekake). I have a feeling this recipe would be a big hit with him. This recipe is great because it doesn't require fiddling around with a pie crust and is naturally gluten-free. I bet the combination of cranberry, orange, and baked apple would be a hit with just about anyone, gluten-free vegetarian or not!
For the classic Book of Yum Thanksgiving recipe of the day, I thought I'd share one of my favorite, most reliable recipes for a gluten-free roll. I think the herbs in this recipe would go beautifully with a baked apple. To make it dairy-free, simply replace the cow's milk with a dairy-free milk like soy, almond, or hemp. I haven't tried making this recipe vegan yet, but I would probably try to use flax eggs, as the Ener-g Egg Replacer "eggs" tend to work best in recipes with two or fewer eggs. If you want a vegan roll, try my Vegan Sorghum Onion Rolls, which happens to be the image pictured on our event banner on the left. You can switch out the seasonings if you like to a salted rosemary topping. Gosh that sounds good.
Join us tomorrow for a delicious Vegetarian Nut Roast from Kalinda of Wheat-Free Meat-Free. Kalinda is also hosting this month's edition of Adopt a Gluten-free Blogger, and I hope you will sign up to adopt a gluten-free blogger at her site!
Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you enjoy the recipes!
Adeenas Gluten-Free Hearty Rosemary-Thyme Dinner Roll Recipe
3 eggs – use Extra Large!
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 tsp. salt
1 TBSP xanthan gum
1/3 cup potato starch (NOT flour)
1 cup white rice flour
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup tapioca starch
1/3 c. GF teff or buckwheat flour (M's modification)
1 TBSP active dry yeast
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
For rosemary thyme variation, mix chopped fresh thyme and rosemary, and dried onion flakes with a dash of olive oil and reserve.
If desired, minced sundried tomatoes, to taste
Garnish: More fresh, chopped rosemary (or dried), fresh thyme, chopped, black or kosher/gourmet salt (large crystals are key), dried onion flakes, and anything else you feel like.
Preheat Oven to 380 degrees.* Note: I actually started these at a higher temperature, more like 450, and then turned the temperature down, in the attempt to get a crunchier crust. Try experimenting with the temperature and see what you like. I'll be trying different things the next time I make this recipe. :)
Beat eggs in heavy duty mixer and then add oil, vinegar, and sugar, combining. Add dry ingredients. Warm milk in the microwave (or on the stove) and add to the bowl, gently folding it into the flour. Add your rosemary thyme mix. Turn on motor, let ingredients combine thoroughly then turn power to medium and leave for 4 minutes while it stirs. If you want sun dried tomatoes, add for the last minute or so of mixing.
Spray baking pan (cookie sheet type) with nonstick cooking spray and/or line with parchment paper.
Flour your hands with gluten free rice flour and grab a ball of dough from the mixing bowl. Gently shape it into a roll. Place it on the prepared cookie sheet. Make another roll, continuing until all dough has been used for rolls. (This part is fun!)
Brush with whisked egg. Sprinkle with garnish (fresh herbs, salt, onion), poppy seeds or sesame seeds if desired.
Let it rise in a warm place until doubled.(*edited)
Five minutes before you put the rolls in the oven, put ice cubes (in a pan) in the bottom rack of your oven and let them evaporate into steam. Open oven, put in your rack of rolls and let bake for 20-25 minutes. (Halfway through baking time, you may wish to turn over your rolls for even browning.)
Alternatively, place a pan w/ 1/4 to 1/2 inch of boiling water on the lowest rack in the oven 5 minutes before you put the bread in and leave in there until bread is done.
These two baking methods should result in a crunchier outer crust.

Cabin Air Filter
Let's talk about cabin air filters. There seems to be some confusion about them in San Diego that we should be able to clear up. Much of the confusion starts because cabin air filters are relatively new. Not all vehicles in San Diego have them, so some people confuse their cabin air filter with the engine air filter.
Every vehicle in CA has an engine air filter that cleans the air going into the engine, but not all have a cabin air filter that cleans the air going into the passenger compartment. Easy to get mixed up.
The cabin air filter cleans out dust, pollen, spores and other pollutants. To give a point of comparison, a grain of sand is about 200 microns across. A cabin air filter can stop particles that are just 3 microns in size. It really does make the passenger cabin a much more pleasant environment.
When the cabin air filter gets dirty, you just need to replace it. Your owner's manual may have a recommended interval for changing it. If not we can inspect it. You know, it's ironic that many people who don't realize they even have a cabin air filter first find out they do when it starts to get smelly.
Some cabin air filters are very easy to access when it's time to replace them. Others, not so much. We may have to get behind the dashboard and it takes some time.
A clean cabin air filter keeps out smog, allergens and other harmful pollutants. If it's time, get it changed right away.
The air inside your vehicle may actually be more polluted than the air outside. Pollen, mold, dust, etc. can be trapped inside your vehicle. The cabin air filter stops these pollutants before they even get inside and filters out odors and smoke. People who suffer from seasonal allergies really appreciate a clean cabin air filter. At Poway Auto Repair in Poway we install quality NAPA replacement parts. Give us a call at 858.748.0561 and let us help keep you safely and economically on the road.

Keith Urban Records New Song 'For You' for 'Act of Valor' Movie
Keith Urban has won Grammys, toured the globe and released more hit singles than he can count on two hands, but there's one thing the country megastar had never done — until now, that is. For the first time in his career, Urban took on the challenge of writing and releasing a song specifically for a movie. Collaborating with hit songwriter Monty Powell, he co-wrote the a song called 'For You' for the Navy SEAL action thriller 'Act of Valor,' in theaters Feb. 24.
"After seeing 'Act Of Valor,' my co-writer and I wanted to capture the essence of not only what these men and women do so extraordinarily, but how that relates to all of us," Urban said in a press release. "'Valor' shows us what they are willing to give their all for, which made me wonder, 'What am I willing to give my life for?' 'For You' is intended to allow the listener to define who that is for them."
The past few months have been busy ones for Urban, who had throat surgery in late November, went on complete vocal rest for three weeks and already announced a small set of concert dates for 2012. Since recovering from his surgery, Urban has yet to do a live performance, and his first scheduled performance as of right now is a Feb. 10 appearance in Austin, Texas. That show, taking place the night before his San Antonio tour date, will raise funds for the Beyond Batten Disease Foundation.
The Aussie was also recently nominated for International Artist and Music Video of the Year awards for Australia's 2012 Country Music Channel Awards.

When Breathing Kills
A good friend of mine recently returned from her mother's funeral in Germany. She had died of lung cancer after spending the last eight years of her life in a slum in New Delhi where she taught orphaned children.
I can't help but wonder if breathing the dirty indoor and outdoor pollution in New Delhi contributed to her cancer. My friend has the same question.
In new estimates released March 25, the World Health Organization (WHO) reports that in 2012, about 7 million people died - one in eight of total global deaths – as a result of air pollution. Indoor air pollution was linked to 4.3 million deaths in households that cook over coal, wood and biomass stoves. Outdoor air pollution was linked to 3.7 million deaths from urban and rural sources worldwide. (As many people are exposed to both indoor and outdoor air pollution, mortality attributed to the two sources cannot simply be added together.)
South and East Asia had the largest number of deaths linked to indoor air pollution.
The WHO finding more than doubles previous estimates and confirms that air pollution is now the world's single largest environmental health risk. In particular, the new data reveal a stronger link between both indoor and outdoor air pollution exposure and cardiovascular diseases, such as strokes and ischemic heart disease, as well as between air pollution and cancer. In the case of both indoor and outdoor air pollution related deaths, 6 percent were attributed to cancer.
Thinking that my friend's mother perished as result of pollution may not be so far-fetched.

Among the rave reviews The Grand Plan garnered is this one from Kirkus:
The Grand Plan to Fix Everything
Hooray for Bollywood. Eleven-year-old Dini is not pleased at all at the prospect of leaving Takoma Park, Md., and her best friend Maddie to live in a small town in southern India for two years. But though she knows it's ridiculous, bakvaas, as Indians say, she wonders if she might get to meet her idol, Dolly Singh, Bollywood film star. Dini and Maddie are devoted Dolly fans. And, in a series of events as wonderfully convoluted and satisfyingly resolved as any movie plot could be, she does. The fast-paced tale introduces and manages to connect an Indian-American family, a postal worker from Mumbai, a movie producer and his erratic star, a car mechanic, a tea plantation owner, a local baker and assorted monkeys—all coming together for a grand finale party and dance. Set in imagined Swapnagiri (which means Dream Mountain), this high-energy concoction is thoroughly believable and entertaining. The story is told in a third-person present-tense voice that rings true to its protagonist, who sees her life as a movie script. Though Dini and Maddie are halfway around the world from each other, they communicate through cell phones and computer chat, keeping up their friendship while making new ones. Full of references to Bollywood movie traditions and local customs, this is a delightful romp with a fresh setting and a distinctive and appealing main character. – KIRKUS, April 1, 2011

Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Laus deo, salus populo
Laus deo, salus populo (Glory to God, Salvation to the People) was the motto of a society that made a new and improved translation of the Psalms into Dutch verse in 1759 (here and there retaining the translation by Peter Dathenus), which was used in many Dutch Mennonite churches, first in the Zonist congregation at Amsterdam in 1762, in 1768 in the Lamist congregation. In a few congregations (Ameland, Beverwijk, Dantumawoude, Franeker, Koog-Zaandijk, Wormer-Jisp) it was in use until the early 20th century. There have been following editions of the Laus Deo version: 1760 without notes, 1761 with notes, 1765, 1883, and 1896 all at Amsterdam.
The society (genootschap) Laus Deo Salus Populo was composed of eight Dutch poets, most of whom were Mennonites: Lucretia Wilhelmina van Merken and her husband Nicolaas Simon van Winter, Lucas Pater, Pieter Meyer, Bernardus de Bosch, Anthony Hartsen, Henry Jean Roullaud, and Hermanus Asschenberg. Thirty-nine Psalms were rhymed by van Merken, 25 by van Winter, nineteen by Pater, 19 by Roullaud, 16 by Hartsen, 15 by Asschenberg, 11 by de Bosch, and six by Meyer.

This makes more sense to me now, and now I can see why the arrows are pointing to where they are... (Sorry it took me so long to get that).
Would this image design work better for everyone?

ESA Operations @esaoperations 30s31 seconds ago#Rockot confirm exact #Sentinel3 launch time was 17:57:40 UTC--Rui says "That's not the EXACT launch time!"
I apologize for the low quality video but since I was using a GoPro I had to zoom it to make it evident. Watch it in 1080p full screen and look towards the center. This is the second stage reentry as shot from Thule AB, Greenland We almost were about to call it quits when it lit up. It was so much better to the naked eye. Nice smoke trail that isn't very evident in the video.
Why was this payload launched on a Rokot, as it's not like ESA is short of launchers of various different classes?
Quote from: Star One on 02/17/2016 12:12 pmWhy was this payload launched on a Rokot, as it's not like ESA is short of launchers of various different classes?They have often launched LEO satellites on small russian launchers in the past. Before Vega it made more sense I guess.Even now, I don't think there is any requirement for ESA projets to launch on European launchers, so they might go for the cheaper option to meet budget constraints (so not Vega...). There might also be launcher manifest availability issues.This year, both Sentinel 5p and Sentinel 2B are planned to be launched on Rokot.
