One of the fault lines in the Democratic Party buckled slightly in a debate Sunday among the party's presidential candidates. A major challenge for the Democrats in their quest to recapture the White House in 1988 will be to bridge - or sidestep - the resulting fissure. The topic of the debate, sponsored by the Stop The Arms Race political-action committee (STAR-PAC), was arms control and national defense. The exchange highlighted the Democrats' awareness that they have to shed an image held by many Americans that the party is ``soft'' on defense.
Sen. Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee warned the other contenders that the reputation of the Democratic Party was at stake.
When asked by Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois how he could support the MX missile, Senator Gore replied, ``The question itself is part of the problem that we as a party are facing. The American people have been given the impression over the last several presidential elections that the Democratic Party is against every single weapons system that is proposed....''
Gore warned of giving the voters the impression that Democrats are ``prepared to go into negotiations with the Soviet Union on the basis that we are going to get something for nothing.''
But Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri said, ``When we take this rap as Democrats as being weak on defense - and we have taken it in the last few years - I've got to ask a new question. Ronald Reagan asked in 1980, `Are you better off than you were four years ago?' ... My question is, are we safer than we were $2 trillion ago?
``Was it strong and safe,'' Congressman Gephardt asked, ``to leave the barracks in Lebanon undefended? Was it secure and strong to leave the Stark undefended? ... Was it strength when our military personnel wound up in Grenada [and] had to go to a Mobil service station to get the maps to know where they were going?''
The congressman used a theme shared by a number of the other participants, claiming there is too much waste in the military budget. ``I think it is time to indict this administration and the way they have been stewards of our tax money to make this country strong. There isn't anybody in this country that doesn't want to be strong, but nobody wants to waste money.''
Gov. Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts told Gore he had ``better get his facts straight'' when Gore asked why the governor wanted to remove all American troops from South Korea and move them to Japan. Mr. Dukakis went on to explain his remarks had been in the context of criticizing America's support for a military dictatorship that prevented free elections. He said that if the South Korean government does not make significant strides toward democracy, he would consider removing US troops.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson tended to speak in bold strokes on the issues. When asked whether he would continue to modernize weapons while seeking arms control, he responded, ``I think we ought to modernize our approach to the world. ... It is significant that we have adequate and effective weapons in the field, but our real weapons are in our minds.''
Stressing his wide travels and association with world leaders, Mr. Jackson explained that ``the great breakthroughs for peace and security came through leadership initiatives. ... One cannot do that with a modern weapon, one has to do it with a developed mind and a will for peace.''
Former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbit attacked President Reagan's view of the world. ``[Reagan] believes that America is losing, he believes that we are under siege all over the world. I believe just the opposite, I believe that Marxism is dead, that American ideals are winning, that the world is aflame with change. And that it is only necessary now for an American president to step forward with [American] values.''

Studentlife is considered as the most important period of our life. Our future dreams,desires and hopes depend upon it.
Once our character is formed in one way, itcannot be changed easily. If we make right use and receive good educationduring our student life, we shall be successful in future. On the other hand,if we aren't serious at this time, we can't achieve our goals. A level is a period which iscrucial for a student, it helps put things in perspective and builds one'scharacter in terms of duties and responsibilities. Moreover, all what I have seenduring my academic journey is students being pressurized to get good gradesi.

e. A* or A which is quiet upsetting because I believe that good grades is notwhy we are enrolled in educational institutions. Ideally children are enrolledin schools to get a proper education, to learn, adapt, progress and develop asintellectual individuals who can benefit the society as a whole in one way oranother. The greatest misfortune of all isthat teachers and parents are the ones who endorse this behavior. The pressure on students to get goodgrades leaves a negative impact on them. This pressure starts while they areyoung and builds up as students get older which often leads to depression,anger, and cheating.
I believe that instead of chasing after grades, peopleshould learn for skills and knowledge as it is what actually helps us in futureand practical life. 'Selectingthe right college to attend is an investment into a young man or woman'sfuture.'

It has a bright name in all the activities whenit comes to different known schools coming to a single platform and so for meCedar becomes a wise choice to continue with my studies. Its educational programs,extra-curricular activities and variety of clubs it offers are the mostfascinating to me.

Article Title
The development of conceptions of evolution is a problem of both great practical concern and important theoretical interest. Many Americans do not understand basic principles of evolution, such as natural selection, and part of the reason may be that these concepts are notoriously difficult to learn and to teach. The four contributions in this special issue all investigate the development of conceptions in evolution. Several of the articles focus on the interaction between children's prior beliefs and their interpretation and cognitive construction of evolutionary concepts. For example, essentialist beliefs (e.g., Gelman, 2003) may affect how children understand and interpret natural selection and the evolution of species. The four articles all demonstrate that prior beliefs constrain and influence how children and adults interpret what they observe and are taught about evolution. Taken together, the articles demonstrate the importance of taking a developmental approach to understanding the development of conceptions of evolution.

This is the third and final part of my series on caring for your beautiful face, and this post is going to be ALLLLLL about your insides.
You can read Part I and II of my Beautiful Face series in the Health/Beauty section of my blog.
I will preface this post, as I often do with many of my posts, by saying that I can't exactly prove the validity of any of my meanderings. This is all just what I believe and what I have found to be true for me. And becoming a balanced goddess is all about YOU, and learning what works for you, and honoring what feels good to you. So if my ideas, thoughts, and suggestions don't exactly jive with you, then keep exploring until you find your own groove and start to jive with other YOU-friendly ways of living.
Oh boy, here we go!
I am a believer in holistic health, first and foremost. This idea can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But to me, it simply means that I believe our health and wellness is affected by both our external and internal circumstances, for the long-term and the short-term. And honestly, I have found that it does not seem to be a 50/50 divide, but rather our insides (not just our literal guts and organs, but our emotions, our pent-up pain, our coping mechanisms, our past conditioning, etc.) far outweigh any external health factors, and are really the true decider of the overall health and well-being of our bodies. Of course, there are many exceptions, but at the very least, I think it is an important part of our health that is often overlooked. And I really do believe that it's a bit archaic to not even consider our insides when examining the cause of any ailment, no matter how serious or seemingly insignificant.
Here is a perfect example of how my external body was overwhelmingly affected by, and reflective of, my internal emotional circumstances; and how the internal emotional pain that I was experiencing, manifested itself in physical form. And since we are ultimately talking about skincare here, this is an even more perfect example of how the skin is so very sensitive to our insides and often mirrors back to us any state of internal imbalance or upset.
I had just broken up with my boyfriend of five years (this was long ago, but still a valid tale). I was very sad, obviously, and I don't think I was even able to wrap my head around this loss as I drove away in the moving truck, waving goodbye out the window, never to see him again (it was an amicable and bittersweet ending). It was a 2-day drive back home and thankfully I was not alone, but with my twin sister. Emotionally I felt "fine." I was not beside myself, I was not crying, but instead I just felt kind of dead and strange and not myself. Perhaps a bit fragile and raw, but still in seemingly good spirits. Loss is a strange thing and does strange things to us.
Within about an hour of our drive, I began feeling itchy around my fingers and knuckles. It was a minor bothersome itch but it was noticeable and I couldn't seem to stop scratching. By the time we reached our hotel that evening, I had noticed that the little red bumps that had formed on my hands, had started to spread to my feet. I continued to itch and scratch for the entire trip, and when I finally arrived home the next evening, my entire body, including my neck, torso, and lower back were all covered in little red itchy bumps—aka HIVES.
It freaked me out just a bit because hives are creepy little things that are just kind of there and don't seem to budge, and this hive outbreak lasted for a good four or five days. I tried to take an anti-histamine but it did nothing. A part of me knew that this outbreak must have something to do with what I was going through, but it was very difficult for me to believe. It's like I knew it, but I didn't really believe it. Emotionally I felt FINE!
"I'm fine. Everything's fine. I mean, it sucks, but I'm strong, and it's for the best. So why these bumps?"
From an energetic / spiritual / homeopathic standpoint, producing those little red bumps on my skin (think of the skin as a pathway used for detoxification) was my body's way of releasing pent-up harmful (emotional) energy that may otherwise have damaged my organs or other delicate systems within. Think how a person can sometimes faint from shock, or have a nervous break-down from too much stress. Those are both ways in which the body is literally trying to save a person's life by knocking her out, so as to focus on processing all the energy that may otherwise have overwhelmed her body to the point of destruction. So, although my heartbreak bumps were gross and icky looking, their ultimate development was my body's way of protecting me from deeper harm during those very emotionally fragile first few days of post-break up shock. Thank you Body, you wise thing, you!
However, my unchecked emotions (I didn't really cry during the entire post-break-up period—and I'm a crier) were not through with my body yet. Several months later I wound up in the emergency room with extreme chest pain and a racing heart. I most definitely thought I was having a heart attack. And at that time, it absolutely did not occur to me that it STILL might have something to do with my emotions. The doctors tested for everything. They ran an EKG, and a chest X-ray, and did lots of other heart-related tests, and found nothing (thankfully). My father and sister sat beside me in the emergency room and not once did they look concerned. Not because they did not care, but because they knew better than me that my heart health was not the problem. I had been with someone for five years, and we were no longer. And I hadn't cried. I was a mess on the inside, and my body was trying to get my attention.
This stuff is fascinating to me, and if it fascinates you too and you want to learn more, here is a video about Heart Intelligence by Gregg Braden. He's fantastic!
Hopefully I've proven at least a small portion of my point to you when it comes to holistic health and how our insides and outsides coalesce together. And therefore, when I get into explaining all of the positive things I do to take care of my insides, it goes without saying that it will have a positive effect on my outsides, including and especially my skin.
Aside from maintaining a balanced emotional atmosphere within yourself, of course it is equally important to maintain a balanced diet and health regimen. It all adds up to clear skin, clean health, and happy faces. Something also to consider, is that if your diet is great but your face is not as clear and gorgeous as you would like, look into what's going on with your emotions (this is no small task but if you are going to be a goddess, you have to face those tough emotions at some point). And if you are emotionally pretty fab, have healed your past wounds, and avoid life drama at all costs, etc., then maybe your diet is not as "healthy" as you think it is. Just something to ponder the next time you are abluting.
Since I've gone on so long about the internal / external factors with regards to skincare, I will keep this short and sweet by leaving you with a list of things that I do on a regular basis, concerning my innards, that I believe have a direct and very positive effect on the state of my face. You can use all the fancy schmancy skincare products you want, but if you are poisoning your insides (emotionally or otherwise), I really don't think it matters what kinds of materials you apply at the topical level.
Feel free to experiment with some or all of these ideas and see if you notice a difference. I would say that if you do decide to try to implement any of these changes, you might not see the results reflected in your face immediately. Perhaps give it 2-3 weeks of good and consistent behavior. Our internal systems are much more delicate than we realize, and our bodies might take a while to forgive us if we've been abusing them for a long period of time. If your skin starts to look better (if you get compliments, you know you're doing something right), then you can bet that your insides are pretty happy also!
- I eat dark green leafy leaves (spinach, kale, arugula, etc.) every single day, without fail. Whatever meal you are sitting down to, at least once a day, throw a few leaves in a bowl with some vinaigrette and just gulp it down with the rest of your food. I love the taste and what it adds to a meal, but if you hate the idea, maybe just wash it down with some mashed potatoes or something? You can also wilt them into stir fry dishes, but you lose a ton of nutrients when you heat whole foods and produce, so raw is better. But if you must, it's better than nothing.
- I drink tons and tons of water. I start early, AFTER I brush my teeth and before I eat, I drink a full glass of water upon waking. Then I drink water throughout the day. Yes, I use the bathroom more frequently than most. But when I'm in that bathroom, I get to look at my gorgeously fresh and clear face multiple times a day and say, "Hello Beautiful!"
- I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of tea. This is mostly about fiber and free radicals I think. Whatever it is, it's good and healthy to do. I don't go crazy with the fruit. Perhaps just a piece of fruit or two every day, or every other day. I drink about three cups of tea a day also (not the sweetened stuff—I mean like a tea bag with water and that's it). Tea is great for detoxing and has lots of anti-oxidants. I don't know what that means exactly, but I know it's a good thing, so just do it.
- I lay off the sugar. This is a tough one and only something that I've recently started trying, because I am 100% addicted to sugar. But I have really reduced my intake (it is recommended that adult females do not go over 25 grams a day—that's like nothing!). But this is the change that I have made that has brought about the most significant results for me, and since I've been reducing the sugar, I've been receiving the compliments. It really works! This only took a few weeks of cutting back on the sugar before it started showing on my face.
- It goes without saying that excessive alcohol intake is not a good thing. I know some ladies love their wine (or even some of the more powerful stuff). But it takes its toll on our bodies and most definitely shows up on our skin. I come from a long line of alcohol lovers and have witnessed the effects first hand. Lay off the alcohol and don't smoke cigarettes, duh.
- Even though yoga and meditation seem like external activities (and they are), they most definitely improve a person's internal state when it comes to inner peace, reduced anxiety, calmer emotions, etc., and I recommend you explore these kinds of practices if you haven't already. It's great if you go to the gym and jog a million miles a day, but those activities can stir up a lot of energy, and perhaps agitate some of your systems. Yoga and meditation are all about calming that energy down. The face likes calm.
- Look into probiotics. You can eat yogurt with probiotics if you like yogurt (but I don't), or you can invest a little more and get the refrigerated capsules with probiotics in them. From what I know about them, it's mostly about keeping the gut happy and balanced. This aids in digestion obviously, and it also maintains your immune system. I take them when I have an upset stomach or have trouble digesting something, and they really seem to make my tummy happy. Clean gut = clean face, apparently.
These are all very basic suggestions I know. But it really takes participating in almost all (or at least most) of them, in order to see a difference. It's exhausting trying to stay young and beautiful I know! But I do these things because they are meaningful to me, and because I believe in them. I believe in their power and I believe they contribute to my longevity both internally and externally. Time will tell, but until then, stay healthy goddesses, and take good care of your gorgeous, wise, wonderful, mysterious, complex, and perfectly imperfect bodies!

I've been home for a few days now. People keep asking me, "How was camp?" To which I can't really respond with anything other than (albeit sincerely) "Camp was incredible. The kids are amazing. I'm so lucky to get to work with so many hard-working, committed coaches and staff and to coach such wonderful kids."
That's what I say, and it's true, but these people (my friends and family, who I love very much) ask me this question with no idea how loaded it is: how I can't answer that question no matter how hard I try – for the words I say in that casual conversation cannot express the memories it brings up, the lump that rises to my throat, and the tears that threaten to fill my eyes when I try to answer. I usually stutter before I can get any words out, and even when they do come it's incredibly frustrating. Because I can't answer such a simple question about camp. Camp is worth so much more than one simple answer. I'm tearing up now as I write, and my mind is back out on the fields, working with one camper on her forehands, cheering on the team in the final game of the tournament, swatting away bugs as I throw disc after disc for a game of 500. In my mind's eye I am not sitting in my own bed but rather I'm walking into my dorm room, ready for a cold shower. I'm walking to the dining hall for breakfast, wishing I'd had more time to sleep but looking forward to the day. I'm talking to my co-coaches about the drills and expectations for the day. I'm watching my team – my multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-religious team come together right before my eyes.
I'm still in the "Post-Camp Haze," as another coach so rightly called it. Granted, this is the first time I've been in the States in four months, so I'm sure the reverse culture shock is a little more extensive than it would be had I only gone to camp and come home, but I can't seem to pull myself out of "camp-mode." I've been enjoying the home-cooked meals and my own room, yes, but I feel as though I am in a cloud. This was my fourth summer with Ultimate Peace, but still I find myself in shock, in utter shock, at the incredible feat we have managed to put together. Because of our work, lives have changed. Others' and our own. We have made a difference. I believe in the power of making differences with small acts of gratitude and kindness every day, but this is different. These past few weeks I have been a part of something far, far bigger than myself and I couldn't be more grateful. I couldn't be more proud: of myself, of my teams from each camp, of my co-coaches, the whole staff, and the entire UP community. Let's take a look at what we've accomplished. Granted, it's only a few examples, but if I didn't cut myself off this post would never end.
A girl on my Summer Camp team – the youngest member – told the group at our last practice that she had improved more than she ever thought could be possible. She isn't a particularly experienced player. She has good instincts but her throws showed that she was a new player. Her biggest problem was confidence; she was a quiet, timid girl, and if a throw went wrong, she put her hands up to her face and hid behind them, embarrassed. Five short days later, she was throwing not only with more skill but with more confidence. The two go hand in hand and I am proud to say that that was not only the work of the coaches but also the work of her teammates' encouragement and support. We – a collective we – gave her not only Ultimate but a chance to grow as a person, and I can't imagine anything better than that.
Another girl from Summer Camp told the team at our last meeting, with tears in her eyes, that she didn't want to leave. That we were a family and the girls were her sisters. She told us we were making a difference and she thanked the team. She spoke quiet and poignant words in beautifully accented English, in words I cannot capture. I had been worried about this particular camper earlier on, because she was very quiet, and tended to take a step back and observe what was happening around her. She was attentive; it wasn't that she didn't want to join the team – it was more that she was by nature more reserved and, kind of like me, found it in that nature to take a step back, watch carefully, and quietly analyze. I had been worried that her more reserved demeanor would make it difficult for her to fit in with the team. Clearly, however, she had found her place. She had found her place and expanded herself far beyond its confines. I had the opportunity to meet this camper's mother at the end of camp, who told me that her daughter had loved camp. That she'd had the most wonderful time, and in response I tried to say that I loved her, that I was so happy and so lucky to have her daughter on my team, but I couldn't get the words out. They were too heavy to flow freely, weighed down with the sadness that came with saying goodbye. It was okay, though, mother and daughter understood the love I was trying to express, for it was something they felt in their own hearts.
One of the CITs in my group shared with the team what had been her biggest fear going into the camp, which was that some of her campers might say they were too tired to participate, or not always want to play. This group, however, she said, had made that fear irrelevant. They made it a non-issue, as they were ready to go and enthusiastic and eager all the time. Another of the CITs said that her biggest fear had been that her group wouldn't come together as a team: that their differences would prove too difficult to overcome. But they had cured her of that fear early on.
One of the more experienced players on our team, who at first had seemed a little overwhelmed at being surrounded by so many others who were in many ways very different than she, had stepped up as a leader. At first, she was quiet and kept to herself and the friends with whom she had arrived at the beginning. By the end of camp, she had stepped up as a leader not only in play on the field, but vocally as well. She was a competitive girl, but often chose to step off the field to give her teammates a chance to play. She led cheers, she played with her heart and soul, and she became more confident in herself. At our last meeting, she told the team how proud she was of them all. She told them with tears in her eyes that they had all stepped up and risen to the challenge presented by that final game.
At the end of every camp, the staff chooses a "Starting 7." This is a group of campers who have stood out for their leadership, effort, and enactment of our 5 values: mainly, for Spirit. We chose a member of our team, an experienced player. We chose her not for her skills but for the ways in which she had carried our team by encouraging others, playing fairly, giving everything she had in games, and showing Spirit on and off the field to teammates, opponents, and strangers alike. When her name was called in front of the whole camp and she went onstage with the others, I couldn't see her face. But when she left the stage, she walked past my seat, and I saw an image I'll never forget: Tears streaming down her face and an expression of something so much deeper than happiness, gratitude, and pride emanating from within.
The tears started again for me too, at that moment. This meant so much to her. When she looks back, she won't see this as some silly award from some sports camp. This moment, this camp, played a role in the person she was choosing to become. These moments, these camps, have played and will always continue to play a role in all of our hearts; they guide us towards our best selves and towards the differences we now know we can make.
These are the moments we create at camp. These are the types of attitudes we foster. This is why I can't explain camp in a casual conversation. It's too much, it's too life-changing to be captured in anything less than a long, heartfelt discussion (or blog post). All of these moments I have brought to light-they are just a few of the many, many hundreds of moments we see every single day at camp. What I have found in my past four summers of Ultimate Peace is that these kids – these brilliant, hardworking, and Spirited kids – have a whole world of potential to give. We don't give anything new to these incredible, incredible kids with whom we work; rather, we simply give them the opportunities to shine. We only bring out what is already within. And we couldn't be more blessed to have the chance to do so.

High school official blames girls for athletic shorts ban, says they 'ruin everything'
A Tennessee high school official posted online a video banning athletic shorts, saying "Blame the girls, because they pretty much ruin everything."
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports the athletic director and assistant principal of Soddy-Daisy High School, Jared Hensley, posted the video addressed to students online Wednesday morning. It has since been taken down, and Hamilton County Superintendent Bryan Johnson says Hensley has been put on administrative leave.
Hensley continues on in the video to say "Ask Adam, look at Eve ... you can really go back to the beginning of time," adding that, "It'll be like that the rest of your life." The video prompted immediate backlash, with social media users calling for followers to report it to county school officials.
Johnson says the school is investigating.
"We hold our employees and our leaders to a high standard, and these comments do not match the high expectations we have for our employees. We seek to prepare all children for success in life after high school and expect our employees to provide an atmosphere that will empower all children to reach their full potential," he said in a statement, according to the Chattanoogan.
Congressional candidate Danielle Mitchell said, "This is why women don't report, why women are scared, why women tend to blame themselves. This ideology is being taught in our schools. It works its way into common spaces, and from a young age, far too many girls are taught that they aren't powerful—that it's their fault.
"From our work places to our worship places. From our schools to our senate. We must do everything we can to uplift young women—to make them feel heard.
"We must be better."
However, Tori Brown, the senior class president took to Facebook, to said she supports Hensley, calling his remarks "not well thought-out and was taken a little bit too far." The senior class vice president, Paige Dunny, agreed.
"While the comments he said were distasteful and uncalled for, I believe that he did not mean them and they have been taken out of context," she wrote.

If you live in the New York City area, and you have several dogs, you will likely need to hire a dog walker. These are individuals that can handle one or more of your dogs, taking them for walks daily. To choose the best one, you must evaluate them based upon several factors. Once you have done this, you will know that you have selected an individual that is not only a professional but will also offer you a fair price for their services. This is how you can find a professional dog walker near me that will be able to help you out.
How To Select A Dog Walker
There is a specific system that many people follow when choosing a dog walker. Initially, people will ask friends and family members that are currently using one in the New York City area. Once you have a list of potential candidates, you will then want them to come over to meet your dogs individually. Essentially, if they bond with your dog immediately, this is a clear sign that you may have found the right one. You will likely have several that will fit these criteria, and of those, you need to start asking questions. You will need to ask of them where they will be walking your dog, how long the walks will be, and if they will be the only ones handling your pet.
Making Your Final Choice
Once you have gone through this evaluation process, you will likely have two or three potential candidates. Of those, we will choose them based upon a couple of factors. The first factor will be who you feel most confident with regarding the safety and security of your dog. The second will be how much they are charging. Once you have made that choice, you can monitor how your dog is overtime to make sure you have made the right decision. In most cases, all of these decisions will lead you to a professional dog walker near me that will be the right choice for your pet.

Clash of Clans is an incredible game because it is a strategy based game. In Clash of Clans you build a clan and defend your Town Hall against others. I think that Clash of Clans is a great game because you have to work out a plan or you will go broke. The good thing about his game is that you will not be broke for long, as you can purchase a gold mine at the start which supplies you with gold (money). Even if this doesn't work you can still battle other Goblin cities.
If you like strategy games like strongly recommend Clash of Clans as it is a lot of fun. Clash of Clans is not just strategy based as it also can help with learning. It helps children learn because they need to have enough money to buy things in the game. If they don't know how much money they have you can always check. Another reason why Clash of Clans is good is because there is a lot of time involved. For example, when you train your army, each different minion takes a different amount of time. When you upgrade the minion take less time.

The number of WAP pages viewed in the United Kingdom for November hit 947 million, up from October's 897 million, and significantly ahead of industry expectations. The MDA had projected that the United Kingdom would hit 8 billion WAP page impressions for 2003, but with November's figures, the total already stands at 8.2 billion.
A page impression is defined as a WAP Markup Language (WML) file, or combination of files, sent to a valid user as a result of that user's request. The figures come from U.K. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) operators O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone Group.
WAP, which displays Web information on small wireless devices, debuted to great fanfare in the late 1990s. But at the time most handsets had black-and-white displays and relied on dial-up connections for data transfer, making Internet-based services slow, expensive and difficult to use.
The wide availability now of color screens, better user interfaces and faster data connections is encouraging mobile users to log on, if only to download ring tones, according to the MDA. Ring tones based on pop songs are the main driver of WAP traffic, with top tunes for November including The Black-Eyed Peas' "Where is the Love?", Kevin Lyttle's "Turn Me On" and Fatman Scoop's "Be Faithful."
Many higher-end handsets can now also read standard HTML Web pages, but the majority of phones can only access the Internet via WAP.
The rise in traffic is good news for mobile operators who earn revenue from download fees, and it may also mean opportunities for content providers. However, WAP remains a far cry from the popularity of the most successful mobile Internet platform, NTT DoCoMo, which reached 40 million subscribers in October.
WAP is also far less popular than the main carrier of data traffic on U.K. mobile network--text messaging. Person-to-person text messages reached an average of 59 million per day in November, jumping to 76 million on the day of the Rugby World Cup final on Nov. 22, and hitting 111 million on New Year's Eve. The total for the month of November was 1.7 billion.
Infrastructure provider Sicap noted earlier this week that operators are having trouble coping with peak levels of text-message demand, with some New Year's Eve messages delayed up to four hours or lost entirely.
Matthew Broersma of ZDNet UK reported from London.

As we start 2017, AJAN asks Jesuits and co-workers involved in AIDS ministry about what they see as the main hopes and challenges in the struggle against AIDS for the year. We put the same question to Florence Anam, a veteran advocate for the rights of people living with HIV in Kenya, and a long-time collaborator of AJAN.
We bring you their replies in this and the next issue of AJANews. You will find a fair balance of optimism and realism. While each one approaches the question from their own unique perspective, a few key insights stand out. First and foremost there is the need to develop ever more specialised responses for adolescents and youth, especially those living with HIV.
Further, many underline the importance of antiretroviral treatment (ART). At the same time, there is the crucial realisation that treatment alone is not enough to enable people living with HIV to not only survive but to thrive. A comprehensive response is needed, one that puts the continued struggle against stigma at the centre of our efforts. Doing all this in a scenario where AIDS programming faces lack of funding and sustainability issues, remains a constant challenge.
Read on…
Are we listening to what young people are telling us?

The last time I set foot in the Dead Dog Saloon was the night the grinning Mongolian brought a fruit basket to the poker table. We eyed him warily. Some said he was a communist, others a murderer. I figured one increased the odds of the other. I'd heard from a reliable source that he'd hacked his father to bits back in Ulan Bator. But his money was good. We dealt him in.
I was only at the Dead Dog that night because of some misunderstandings at Seattle's more reputable establishments. I'd lately been on the receiving end of a bad beat or two, and I owed a few people a small amount of money. There were also some malicious and completely unfounded rumors of cheating that forced me to avoid certain circles.
Regardless, I'd been coming to the Dead Dog for two weeks, slowly leeching cash from the unsavory lot who frequented that hellhole. No one there had heard of me. To them, I was just some old coot who kept getting lucky. How could they know I used to play VIP tables at the MGM Grand? I was Art "Badger" Delfino back then. Aggression was my game. I'd raise you with the nuts, and I'd raise you with nothing. You could hear teeth grinding around the table whenever I'd reach for my stack. I'd pull in a $3,000 pot, then flip my cards to show jack high.
But no one's called me Badger in a long time. People don't talk about you when the cards don't fall your way. Or if they do, it's a whisper behind your back. Every poker player has a bad run—it's part of the game. They don't last forever. Mine just happened to last two decades.
A twenty-year dry spell will make a man question his faith in himself and in the game. Believe it or not, at one point I actually started going to meetings. Can you imagine that—one of America's greatest poker players sitting in a freezing church basement with a bunch of deadbeats who can't pay their child support because they always bet on the Mariners? For the last two years my own daughter wouldn't even talk to me due to some bitterness over an unpaid loan. And yet in the end I never gave up on myself, and I never gave up on poker. Lady luck may leave you for a while, but she always comes back.
I was telling you, though, about the Mongolian. He held the basket in his lap, heaped with fruit. He juggled kiwis while the dealer shuffled, sniffed a banana between hands, and folded every card dealt him for half an hour, grinning all the while. Then one hand he dropped the fruit, called the $2 blind, and sat motionless.
I'd been card dead all night. I was beginning to think the royal family was on vacation. But this hand I'd picked up a queen / jack, both clubs. The flop came ten of hearts / six of clubs / ace of diamonds.
The action started on Estevez, a skinny Mexican who captained a harbor cruise boat and was always showing us naked pictures of his fat wife. Estevez checked to the Mongolian, who raised fifty, a massive over-bet. The table folded to me.
I looked over at the Mongolian. His grin couldn't mask his anxiety. A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead. The ace on the board worried me a bit, but if he'd hit top pair he'd be slow-playing it, not chasing away action with a huge raise. He'd probably whiffed and was trying to steal the blinds. I needed a king for a straight or runner-runner clubs for a flush.
I made the call. Estevez folded, leaving me heads-up against the Mongolian.
A deuce of clubs fell on the turn.
The Mongolian bet a hundred before the card hit the table. I leaned back in my chair and thought about it. I'd already committed fifty-two bucks, and his aggressive bet said he was trying to scare me off. He sat completely still, looking down at the table with that deranged grin. A vein throbbed in his forehead. The bead of sweat had reached the tip of his nose. I was one card away from a straight or a flush. Hell, if he was on a stone cold bluff, my queen high might even be good. If I'm not a gambler, what am I? I made the call.
The last card came off the deck. The river. Over the years, she's carried away the dreams of many men. She's swept away more of this man's dreams than I care to count. But every so often she'll bring you what you're looking for. On that night in the Dead Dog Saloon, she brought me an eight of clubs. Queen-high flush.
The Mongolian closed his eyes and nodded. That could mean anything—he'd made his hand, he was accepting his fate, he was trying to psych me out. It didn't matter. I knew I had him. I stared down at the cards, my heart nearly bursting. Thirty seconds passed. Then, with a small groan, the Mongolian pushed all his money to the middle of the table. Over eight hundred dollars. One of the younger players at the table gave a low whistle.
I checked my cards a final time. They hadn't changed. For a minute I pretended to debate the call, letting the moment wash over me. I couldn't remember the last time a pot this big had come my way. Must've been years ago. But now Badger Delfino was back. And this time I was going to savor it. I'd hold on to it and wouldn't let it slip away.
When I made the call, I flipped over my cards so the Mongolian would know he was beat. He barely glanced at them. "Call?" he said, and looked at the dealer. The dealer nodded. The Mongolian gave a short laugh and his grin broke into a great beaming smile.
My heart plummeted into my stomach and nearly kept going to the exit. A higher flush, of course! I hadn't even considered it. You blind old fool, I thought. The Mongolian turned over his cards with a triumphant flourish. We stared at them in stunned silence.
Ace of spades, ace of hearts. He'd hit a third ace on the flop to make three of a kind. But my flush was the better hand.
For a moment, no one moved. Then, very slowly, Estevez leaned over and whispered in the Mongolian's ear. He pointed to my cards and patted the man gently on the back. Ten long seconds passed. We all watched the Mongolian. He sat there still grinning, a ruined man. The bead of sweat fell from his nose and splashed on the table.
As if that was his cue, the Mongolian flailed back in his chair and overturned the fruit basket. Apples, pears, and peaches tumbled across the table, and behind the avalanche of fruit the Mongolian reared up with a bowie knife he'd stashed in the bottom of the basket. We could see in his eyes that he meant to kill us all.
A ruckus broke out in the bar. Everyone started hollering and clawing for the cash. Estevez reached too close to the Mongolian and left three of his fingers on the wood. The Mongolian waved his blade maniacally and grabbed an armful of bills.
I somehow ended up locked in the men's room. My heart was churning like a steam engine. I peeked out to see Kulschlager, the bartender, giving chase with a bottle of Canadian Club in one hand and a rifle he'd pulled from behind the bar in the other. As soon as he was gone, half the bar rushed to the door to watch while the other half rushed for the liquor bottles and poured themselves free drinks. A few kind souls huddled around Estevez.
I stayed in the men's room. A pain started to build in my chest, and I thought I might keel over by the urinal. For a moment I pictured my own funeral—lots of empty seats, my daughter in the front row prim and dry-eyed, knowing her thickheaded old man died the way he lived: pushing forward even when the odds were against him, hoping luck would bail him out. There in the men's room, leaning on the sink and looking at my ghostly face in the mirror, I realized it was either fold forever or lose it all.
From the street came a gunshot, and after a pause, another. A minute later Kulschlager stumbled back in, soaked with rain and cursing in German. After regaining my composure, I came out of the men's room and asked him what he was going to do about my nineteen-hundred dollars that just ran out the door. He gave me a hundred-dollar bill from the register and told me I could drink free the rest of the night. What else could I do? I took the cash, pulled up a seat, and ordered a whiskey sour.
Eventually an ambulance came and took away Estevez, his severed fingers on ice in a rocks glass. The police arrived soon after, but we all kept our mouths shut. I knew my money was gone.
And it might've been the nine whiskey sours, but by the time I left the bar that night, I didn't care. I slammed the door on my way out and stared up at that sign with the rigor mortis dog, flat on its back with four paws pointing skyward.
Then I walked away.

Cavalia Inc. presents ODYSSEO.
If you ever leave your house in Chicago, you have seen signs for Odysseo: The Best Show Ever these last few months. As a novice in the review world, I would not agree that this was the best show ever. Was it great to see the theatrical ability of 60+ trained horses? Yes, absolutely. However, in my humble opinion, the show was less than great. As soon as you walk in the tent, you are bombarded with overpriced horse merchandise – including paintings that could be yours for the low price of $1,800.
The show itself does have amazing choreography and beautiful aerialists, but I could not shake the presence of the horses being whipped. (Post publication: The Silverman Group clarified, "the performers do NOT whip the horses. The tool that they carry aims to be an extension of their arm – so that they can guide the horses.") I'm not sure if I believed that these majestic creatures were tamed by some sort of magic, but the sheer fact that in each act the riders carried whips really could not be shaken – and I am in no means an animal rights activist. Maybe it was the mood I was in, but I was left feeling very uncomfortable.
My boyfriend, on the other hand, loved every bit of the show. This is truly one of a kind and he latched onto how amazing these horses were. There was also a phenomenal group of gymnasts and aerialists that captivated and even had me clapping.
Running time: 2 hours with a 30-minute intermission
EXTENDED Thru: Through April 30
Where: Under the White Big Top at Soldier Field's South Lot, 1410 Museum Campus Dr.
Tickets: ~ $144.50

Contains 100% gossip from concentrate
Hair Growth Breakthrough
A new hair growth medicine is showing great promise. Minixidahl, a topical preparation that is derived from orange juice, has caused lush, copious hair growth on more than ninety percent of human subjects.
While the treatment is remarkably effective, it has one major drawback. On most test subjects, the hair growth is limited to the outside of the nose. Some subjects also showed increased growth of internal nose hair.
Hot Side Hot, Cold Side Cold
A new power plant will marry the benefits of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. In a novel design twist, the structure was inspired by a hamburger container.
The facility is known as a "hot side hot / cold side cold" (HSH/CSC) power plant. It exploits a vortex interaction that develops when nuclear fission occurs in close proximity to nuclear cold fusion.
The (HSH/CSC) power station is being build outside Toulouse, France. The containment facility was modeled after a now obsolete McDonald's hamburger package. The original fast food packaging was intended to regulate the temperature levels of a hamburger (the hot side) and a topping (the cold side) composed of lettuce, tomato and condiments. A McDonald's ad of the 1980's explained that this kept the "hot side hot" and the "cold side cold."
Universe May Be 2-Dimensional
The universe may be two-dimensional, according to a report that will be posted soon on the physics preprint server.
Nuke vs. Nuke
There is a new battleground in the intense competition for energy research funding. Proponents of the nucular energy camp are breaking away from their former colleagues, the nuclear energy researchers.
The nucular / nuclear split is the latest sign of disharmony in a field that was once bound very tightly. Now the nucular groups will be competing against the research groups devoted to nuclear fission, nuclear cold fusion, and traditional nuclear hot fusion.
Observers wryly point out a parallel to this kleidoscopically complicating realignment in the realm of research politics: the changing views over the last forty years about the existence and classification of subatomic particles in nature.
Of One Mind
The mind/body problem has long perplexed philosophers. It has now been solved.
Sidewalk Strut
Why do old ladies always walk in the middle of the sidewalk? That question has fascinated Patricia O'Leary-Savage since she was a 26-year old graduate student. O'Leary-Savage, who is now chairman of the psychology department at Kansas Normal University, has been doing research on the question since 1964. She has reached some tentative conclusions.
Exciting Phone Calls
Many people are unaware that the word "LASER" originally was an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." Now science and business are teaming up to take advantage of the stimulation that occurs when lasers are used to transmit telephone calls.
Certain light frequencies have long been known to be "stimulating" or "exciting" when viewed by human beings. The psychedelic poster painters of the 1960s made great use of these colors. Researchers at MCI/Bell/KDD/British Telecom Consolidated Laboratories recently discovered that these light frequencies can also impart excitement to any signal that later will be converted to audio form.
When the next generation of erbium laser optical transoceanic communications cables are laid across the Atlantic (by next year) and the Pacific (by the year after), telephone users should notice an added dash of excitement every time they make an overseas call.
Car Talk
It will soon be possible for a motorist to telephone the driver of another automobile by "dialing" that car's license plate number.
The new "super-cellular" technology will become available in California later this year.
Pickled Socks
A new study indicates that pickled socks may not be a cancer-causing agent after all. The study, conducted with more than 3500 male patients over a period of twelve years, appears to contradict earlier findings.
Big For Its Size
The neutrino may be far, far more massive than anyone had anticipated.
Particle physicists have never gotten a firm grip on the neutrino. Because the ghostly subatomic particle is difficult to observe, no one has been able to measure its mass, and theorists have given conflicting predictions.
New experimental data, obtained independently at five laboratories, hints that a previously unpredicted type of neutrino may have a mass that is 1.7 times the mass of the sun. If this result is borne out by subsequent measurements, it could have subtle implications for other aspects of physics.

Straight from CES 2014: 14 New Smartwatches to Check Out
By now you've noticed. Wearables are huge at CES this year. Like bigger than Gaga, bigger than The Hunger Games, bigger than Justin Bieber and Gaga showing up at your local theater to watch The Hunger Games together. And we're all about the smartwatch movement.
1. MyKronoz ZeNano ($130): It answers phone calls. It reads texts. It records voice memos. It streams music. The Swiss-designed watch is coming into a line of already existing smartwatches hitting price points all over the place.
2. Pebble Steel ($249): As some of you sporting the plastic version already know, Pebble is the pioneer in the arena. And now they've gone and glammed themselves out by encasing their platform in brushed stainless and black matte, complete with an upgraded operating system (available to wearers of the previous as well). What's even more incredible is their growing ecosystem of apps. Yelp, ESPN, and Pandora are a few already on board. Pebble Steel is available for preorder now. Get on it. Time is ticking.
3. Intel: This isn't a product yet, but it will be. What's cool about it is the geofencing feature. Let's say you have a teenage son who is only allowed to take the car 10 blocks from your home. If he leaves the parameters, you'll get a notification that the little rascal is out of radius. (We hope you find a less Orwellian use for it.) Expect to see it hitting the shelves sometime toward the end of the year… which is like forever away. We know. (via Next Power Up)
4. Razer Nabu: Lying somewhere between fitness band and smartphone, but not really either is the Nabu. Is it its promise of the 7-to-10-day battery life? Or the dual screens (one on the outside of your arm, showing incoming calls and a private one on the inside of your arm, showing who it's coming from) that made us double take? Word on the street is there are a few kinks to iron out, but it's hard not to drop your jaw at that price tag: $49. Can you even get a Swatch for that anymore? (via Digital Trends)
5. Martian Notifier ($129): Hello, handsome. Finally, something you might actually want to wrap around your wrist in the looks department. What we're digging about it is, rather than just constantly getting vague vibrations in our pocket or purse, this watch gives you a discreet message, letting you know exactly what your phone is screaming about. Suave and debonair no matter which way you look at it.
6. Adidas miCoach Smart Run ($399): This sports-minded machine is equipped with a CES-award winning component, the Mio Heart Rate Monitor. Serious runners everywhere will be pounding the pavement to get one. Those people are fast. So you better hurry before they beat you to them.
7. PHTL HOT: Kickstarter kick started, HOT stands for Hands-On-Talk, not "oh, you're such a sexy timepiece." Perks here are it comes in four different shapes and styles, so there's more choices compared to competitors. But what's got us particularly pumped is that you can actually take calls directly from the watch. So cup that hand and do your best 007 impression, boys. (That actually is hot.)
8. Archos: Count them. Not one, but three watches are coming out of French tablet design company, Archos. We like the option of a trio of watches. It allows room for everyone to get in on the fun, no matter your budget. The $50 option has a basic black-and-white screen like the Pebble and a battery life up to 1.5 weeks. For $50 more, you get a full-color screen, and you can pick your wristband color, but you give up 13 days of battery life. Get the best of both worlds with the $150 option: Color screen and long battery life. Long live it.
9. Cogito Pop ($129): Call us shallow if you must, but we're giving major props to the Cogito Pop for one reason: Someone is finally acknowledging the female market. We've got our eyes on that hot pink number.
10. Kreyos Meteor ($170): We like to move it, move it. And that's why we like Kreyos Meteor. Sure it's got speakers and mics, but we're digging the gesture command. Let's say you want to change the song rocking out of your watch. Just put your hand out like you're showing someone that pyramid ring you DIY'ed up last week and shake it from side to side, as if saying, "Look at what I have and you don't." Seems appropriate.
11. Sonostar ($179): Raise your hand if you love the Kindle display? Yeah, that's what we thought. Sonostar was also hip with the Kindle screen, which is why they incorporated the same one in their smartwatch… miniaturized, of course.
12. MetaWatch ($230): We've all at least thought about owning a Fossil watch at some point in our lives. So we consider the MetaWatch a visit from an old friend. A group of ex-Fossil engineers created the operating system and then made an incredibly smart move. They hired the darling of the smartphone industrial design community, Frank Nuovo. You might recognize Nouvo's work from Nokia or Vertu, but what you'll definitely notice is the craftsmanship, premium metals, and leather wristband.
13. Neptune Pine ($335): Leave it to a 19 year old to want it all. That's right. This monster of a wristband was made by a teenager (thanks for making us all feel like underachievers, kid.) And there's good reason why it comes in size gargantuan. It's one of the smartest of the smartwatches. Meaning smartphones everywhere should be trembling in their cases. (via CNN)
14. Filip ($200): Have kids? You're about to give them a $200 watch! Maybe that's not your style, but we're sure plenty of parentals out there will be hopping on the tracking device trend. Filip made theirs specifically for kids, complete with playroom-worthy colors. Modern-day kids will never get away with anything again. Adulthood never felt so good.

Scott and I have already captured the hearts and minds of America via our podcasts. It was merely confirmed this week as Bill Simmons hosted a number of former and current NBA stars on his Grantland Podcast from Houston, Texas.
Simmons sat down with Antoine Walker and they spoke about the secret workouts leading up to Michael Jordan's comeback to the Wizards. Scott and I touched on this in our podcast on Friday, saying how arranging these workouts with present-day NBA stars would be impossible to do in secrecy like he did.
Anyways, this is probably our last Jordan-related piece for the site for a little while. Now ESPN can suspend the week long birthday celebration for 10 years, go back to knocking him as an owner and we can all reminisce pleasantly on his playing days when he turns 60.

Habta is considered as first joy for Omanis before the celebrations of Eid. Habta activities cover every aspect of Eid preparation as livestock, vegetables, fruits, children toys, and other house hold items.

A calling is done for selling goats, cows, sheep and camels at auction providing a memorable scenario to enjoy this ancient legacy.
Habta markets start after the Sunrise and continue till 11 AM and sometimes continues after that. The most loving part is an auction starting from Sheep or goat calling and after the auction calling for cows and camels.

Welcome to episode 27 of Coach Taylor Radio!
Intermittent fasting, are kettlebells a time waster, anterior vs. posterior training, supplement store staff, BMI, death of squats and other news
This is the longest episode yet – and I am hoping that tides over all of the listeners who want me to make more frequent podcasts!!!!
On this episode:
Intermittent Fasting (43:00)
What it is, why I am experimenting with it myself, and where to get more information about it. I have been interested in this nutritional pattern for some time and the research behind it is strong.
I always feel I need to test things before recommending them so I am on a 1 year trial.
For more info on this journey – check my snapchat (coachtaylors) or instagram (coach_taylor_simon)
Conversations with a supplement store (34:00)
Take what you hear at the supplement store with a grain of salt (whey protein?). They are not there to serve YOUR interests. Go over a recent interaction I had with a store manager because it is a great example of what the stores are REALLY after.
Are kettlebells a waste of your time (26:00)
Spoiler alert. No. They most definitely are not! Here is why I believe everyone should be doing them, which exercises are most important, and how they will protect you from the evil winter task of shoveling snow.
Anterior vs. Posterior training (20:50)
Why you should be training your backside more than your front side. Your long term health is very dependant on this!
News overview (1:55)
Taking a look at:
-The death of squats
-The BMI has mislabeled many healthy people
-Is the calorie a useful measurement
-Do I base my comments on research or personal observation?
-Why poor research has led to the belief exercise isn't that important
Thank you all so much for taking the time out of your busy life to listen. I will continue to strive daily to bring you the best, evidence based, health and fitness information out there that is free of the usual bullshit and rhetoric found in the industry!

Mom and Me Matching Face Masks - 2 pack
$22.00 $2.00
It took a great deal of back and forth in our hearts and minds to decide whether or not we should offer a mask for sale. In the end, we decided that we have to do something. In collaboration with the same woman-owned US factory that makes our leotards, here are our matching masks for moms and kids!
2 pack Masks: (1) for Mom and (1) for Kid
Size: One adult size and one child size. Since all heads are not created equal, in the event your mask is a little large, you may choose to adjust by using a mini rubber elastic hair band. See our photo on how we are adjusting them in our home.
Care: Machine wash in cold water/gentle cycle, line dry.
Colors: Pink Leopard, Girls Rule, Floral: Blue/Coral
(Bulk custom prints are available, please email us email@example.com to order)
Thickness: 3 Layer Face Mask. There are two cotton layers sewn together, a filter pocket space, then an outer nylon layer with print.
Design: This is a double dart design, which allows a little pocket of air space between your mouth and the mask. In other words, the mask will not be flat across the front and pressing up against your mouth.
Things to know:
• We can't accept returns on masks for sanitary reasons.
• Children under the age of 2 should not wear a mask due to suffocation risk. Please consult your doctor for guidance.
• Our masks aren't medical grade, and they aren't virus-proof. We are wearing them and practicing social distancing. Please refer to the guidance from the CDC.
• There is a pocket for a filter insert, but for legal reasons, we can't tell you whether or not to put something in there. Please refer to reputable sources on the web to help you decide what is right for you.

More than 100 MPs are urging the UK Government to back the Swansea Bay tidal lagoon project.
Their letter to Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark urges him to consider the recommendations of a report published last month.
The Hendry Review suggested the 'pathfinder' project in Swansea would kick-start a tidal industry which could play a cost-effective, reliable and sustainable role in the UK's energy mix.
It would cost around 30p per household annually in the first 30 years.
Richard Graham MP, Chair of the All Party Group for Marine Energy and Tidal Lagoons said: "Former Energy Minister Charles Hendry started his review as a sceptic and ended as an enthusiast.
"He was very clear in urging the government to give the green light for a pathfinder in Swansea – the world's first ever tidal lagoon – and then see whether the experience justified going ahead with much larger future lagoons."
He also suggested there is a lot of support for this move in Parliament and many MPs believe tidal lagoons meet the aims of the government's new Industrial Strategy.
Mr Graham added: "Clearly the Business Secretary and the Chancellor will want to be sure the pathfinder is affordable in the context of delivering secure, domestic, low carbon and diversified sources of energy.
"Our letter is to urge the government not to delay in responding positively to the recommendations and getting the financial talks for the pathfinder under way."

GOP Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and 2012 hopeful made her first trip to New Hampshire and couldn't get some basic history quite right.
Bachmann told a crowd of supporters: "What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty. You're the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord."
Thing is, The Battle of Lexington and Concord occured in Massachusetts not the Granite State.
Bachmann acknowleded her mistake on Facebook but still sucked up to voters New Hampshire: "So I misplaced the battles Concord and Lexington by saying they were in New Hampshire. It was my mistake, Massachusetts is where they happened. New Hampshire is where they are still proud of it!"

Unlike my wife who likes to blast through a build, I prefer to take things slowly and enjoy every step. At long last, the Lego VW Camper is finally finished.
Like I said in a previous post, there are some very clever building techniques at work in this model, and I can't help but marvel at them. In fact, I like to build and rebuild different sections. I stare at, handle and appreciate each little construction, so progress takes forever.
It infuriates the wife, but Lego is a hobby we share together, so she has to deal with it. Still, even if the going is slow, it was still a lot of fun for the both of us. It's a great thing to do as a couple.
As a set, the Camper looks very much like the real thing. Even if Internet Lego experts think that it could use a bit more detail, I couldn't be happier. For me, realism can take a back seat to the cuteness factor.
My favorite bits? I love the dashboard up front, and the beautiful interior.
The engine bay is also excellent. I'm not a very big fan of the fake pull-up roof, though. I wish the front wheels can steer, but I can figure out how to do that modification easily.
Here are my closing thoughts:
This set totally blew me away. It is what brought me out of my Lego Dark Ages. What's that, you say? If you are an adult fan of Lego (AFOL), you will know exactly what I mean. The camper has launched me into full-on Lego geekery, and it's making me want to dig up my old sets from the '90s.
Another reason I love this set is because it has over 1,000 elements. Believe me, it won't stay whole for very long. I'm looking forward to building my own vehicles. But before I tear it down, a photo shoot is in order. Enjoy!
