AARP Understands How Important Privacy Is to Our Members
We are committed to protecting your privacy and want to make sure that you understand how your membership information is used. We also want you to be aware that you have choices about how we use this information.
What Information We Collect
When you apply for membership, we ask for basic information such as your name, contact information and date of birth. We keep track of your participation in AARP activities and member services so we can understand our members' interests and evaluate the effectiveness of our offerings. We also collect generic demographic information from other sources to help us better serve our members, and the age 50 and over population, as a whole, and to improve our programs, activities and resources. We also collect information online in additional ways that are described in the Questions and Answers section below.
Information Sharing
We share your personal information with companies we have selected to provide AARP member products and services or support AARP operations. Some of the providers of AARP member products and services, including many of those listed on the Member Benefits page on the AARP.org website, pay a fee for access to our membership list. Our contracts with these companies require them to keep the member information confidential, and allow them to use the information only to offer the contracted products or services to AARP and AARP members. We monitor the companies' compliance through our wholly owned subsidiary, AARP Services Inc. Some of our providers may also collect data about our members through their interactions with the members. The providers may share some or all of this data with AARP so that we may offer more effective and personalized service to our members. AARP may, in turn, make the data that we receive from the providers accessible to members in their respective online member account statements.
Other AARP affiliates, such as the AARP Foundation, may also have access to member information that we have acquired (the AARP Foundation has its own privacy policy that applies to its donors). We may occasionally release personal member information when release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce the Terms of Service applicable to our website, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, our members, the public or AARP. We do not sell or rent personal member information to telemarketers, mailing list brokers or any other companies that are not offering AARP-endorsed services or benefits. We may, however, share personal member data, such as names and addresses, with specifically selected nonprofit organizations in "list exchanges" conducted by AARP and these organizations for the purpose of enlisting potential new members. This means that members may receive communications from other nonprofit groups that have agreed to participate in list exchanges with AARP, subject to approval of AARP. You may opt out of such list exchanges at any time by contacting us as provided below.
Your Choices
We respect your choices.
If you do not want us to share your information with providers of AARP member products or services, you can opt out by contacting us as specified below. You should then stop receiving AARP service provider mailings in about 12 weeks. (Note: If you request services or information from an AARP service provider directly, we may still need to confirm to the provider that you are an eligible AARP member).
If you do not want us to share your personal information with nonprofit organizations, you can opt out by contacting us as specified below.
If you wish to stop receiving all communications from AARP, including information about AARP activities, such as legislative events and educational programs, or about the activities of other AARP affiliates such as AARP Foundation, you can also opt out by contacting as specified below.

Privacy and AARP.org – Questions and Answers
The following Questions and Answers address AARP and AARP.org privacy issues in more detail. We want to make sure that you understand the types of information that are collected at AARP.org, the ways in which that information is used and protected, and the choices that you have about this collection and use. The frequently asked questions listed below apply only to data collected online.
In this policy, the terms "AARP," "we," "our" and "us" refer to AARP and its subsidiary, AARP Services Inc. The terms "you" and "your" refer to AARP.org visitors such as yourself.
1. Do I have to submit any personal information in order to use AARP.org?
You do not need to give us any information about yourself in order to access most of AARP.org. You can visit our pages, read our publications and learn about our member services on a completely anonymous basis.
If you want to take advantage of some of the optional services available on AARP.org, however, we will sometimes request information that allows us to identify you ("personal information"). If you use the online form to join AARP or renew your membership, for example, we will ask for certain information to process your application (name, birth date, phone number, mailing address, email address, email permissions and credit card number). If you register to receive email newsletters, we will ask for your name, address, email address and birth date (or member number) so that we can send you the newsletters. We may also ask for personal information when you participate in other activities or services on AARP.org, such as surveys and discussion groups.
We also have relationships with certain companies that we have selected and approved to offer AARP member benefit products and services on linked sites. On some of these sites, you may be asked to enter personal information in order to take advantage of their services or programs. If you decide to purchase products or services on one of these linked websites, you may be asked for your name, member number, address and email address to enable the provider to contact you about your purchase transaction. The contracted member benefit providers of these linked sites may have their own privacy policies that apply to the information you have given them and you should review these policies.
Again, regardless of whether you are visiting AARP.org or a linked website, you do not have to disclose any personal information if you do not want to. You can always decide not to use the optional services that require the submission of such information. The choice is yours. We are only interested in offering you convenient online services that match your interests and needs.
2. Does AARP.org collect nonpersonal information, using "cookies" or otherwise?
We also collect other types of information that do not allow us to identify your name, email address or other personal characteristics. This "nonpersonal information" includes the number assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet ("IP address") and the type of browser you use. None of this nonpersonal information allows us to identify or contact you. We use this information to help us evaluate how AARP.org is being used. By gathering this information, we can learn, among other things, how many people visit AARP.org, which AARP.org pages are the most and least popular, and which other websites are the most frequent referral sources for AARP.org.
We may also assign a "cookie" to your computer in some situations. Like an IP address, a "cookie" is a kind of online identification tag that allows us to recognize your computer each time you visit AARP.org. For example, the AARP Online Community, that is, those registered users of AARP.org who submit personal profiles, or participate in message boards, journals, chat rooms and user groups, uses cookies to recognize returning registered users of the site. We may also use Web beacons in conjunction with cookies to help us monitor the activity on our website. A Web beacon is an image file contained in an advertisement or other content that indicates when the ad or the content has loaded on to a user's screen. We refer to cookies and Web beacons together here as "cookies."
Unless you have already provided us with personal information on AARP.org or an affiliated linked website, cookies do not allow us to identify you by name, email address, or other personally identifiable information. We use cookies primarily to identify return visitors and make your AARP.org experience more relevant and convenient.
To support our operations, we use vendors that sometimes collect information on our behalf. For example, AARP uses a vendor to place AARP-approved banner advertisements on AARP.org. This vendor may sometimes assign cookies to allow AARP to manage the delivery of these ads, for example, by counting the number of times a visitor has viewed different banners. If a visitor has viewed the same banner a number of times, AARP can use the vendor's system to automatically display different banners in the next visit. We also use a vendor to collect aggregate information about AARP.org usage such as the most visited pages and features. This vendor uses cookies and transparent image tags to collect this information. Like cookies, image tags do not allow us or the vendor to identify you by name or other personal characteristics. These vendors do not collect any personal information from members on AARP.org, and they do not share the nonpersonal information collected on AARP.org with anyone else for any other purpose. If you are uncomfortable allowing cookies to be placed on your computer, you can set your browser so that it will not accept these cookies, or so that it will notify you whenever a website is trying to use cookies. If you choose not to accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use certain features of AARP.org or linked sites. You will still be able to visit the general AARP.org pages on an anonymous basis, just as you have in the past.
3. How does AARP use this electronic information, and can I control the uses?
Our primary purpose in collecting electronic information is to provide you with access to the products and services you request, and to evaluate and improve other services that we offer. We ask for information so that we can process your membership application, send you the email newsletters to which you have subscribed and provide you with special offers for AARP members. We use this information to service your membership account, send you publications such as AARP The Magazine and the AARP Bulletin, and answer any questions you may have about membership.
We may also use the electronic information we collect for other purposes. For example, we may review demographic information, survey results and statistical analyses of AARP.org usage in order to help us evaluate, modify and develop services that are likely to be of interest to our members.
On occasion, we will also use your membership information to send you notices in the mail or by email about special member benefits, discounts and offers. If you do not want to receive these mailings, you can opt out as noted above.
If you have subscribed to any of the AARP.org email newsletters, and would like to stop receiving them, follow the instructions at the bottom of each of the newsletters that you receive. Some affiliated linked websites may also send you promotional emails if you asked to receive them when you registered for their respective products or services. In addition, each issue of these email newsletters or notices will always include instructions for unsubscribing. Again, these notices are designed to describe the benefits of AARP membership, but we do not want to send them to you if you are not interested in receiving them.
4. Is any information shared with other companies or organizations, and can I "opt out"?
AARP takes seriously its responsibility to keep your personal information confidential. We do not sell or rent any personal information of our members or of registered users of our website to telemarketers, mailing list brokers, or any other companies that are not offering AARP-endorsed services or benefits. As explained above, we share member information with the limited number of companies that we have selected to provide AARP member product and services. Most of these AARP member benefit providers are listed in the Member Benefits pages of the AARP.org website. Like most organizations, we also hire companies to provide certain administrative services that require access to member information, such as processing address labels, managing databases and sending mailings ("approved vendors"). Finally, we may occasionally engage in "list exchanges" in which personal member data will be shared with selected nonprofit organizations. You may opt out of these list exchanges at any time. We require any company that comes into possession of our personal member data under this Privacy Policy hold such member data in strict confidence. These companies are contractually required to maintain the security and confidentiality of all member information, and are prohibited from using that information for any purpose other than as specified in their contracts with AARP. We audit and monitor these companies' compliance with these requirements.
If you do not want us to share your personal information with these AARP member benefit providers or nonprofit organizations, you can opt out as noted above.
If you ask us not to share your personal information, you should then stop receiving mailings from these organizations in about 12 weeks. (Note: If you request services or information from an AARP member benefit provider directly, we may still need to confirm to the provider that you are an eligible AARP member).
We may also disclose personal information when required to do so by law, to enforce the Terms of Service, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our website, our members, the public or AARP. We reserve the right to contact the appropriate authorities in our discretion when visitors' activities appear to be illegal or inconsistent with our policies.
Finally, we may sometimes share aggregate statistics and nonpersonal information with the media, government agencies, advertisers and other third parties. For example, we may publish statistics on the number of members in various states or the number of visitors to AARP.org. These aggregate statistics will not allow anyone to identify member names or other personal information.
5. What privacy policy rules apply when I click over to other websites?
AARP.org includes links to other websites, some of which are operated by AARP member benefit providers or approved vendors, and some of which are not. Sites operated by AARP member benefit providers and approved vendors may also collect personal information, and may have their own privacy policies that are different and separate from this privacy policy. It is important that you review any privacy policies on these sites carefully before you use any services or programs offered.
When you click to third-party sites from AARP.org, AARP is not responsible for, and has no control over, the information collection or privacy practices of that site. It is important that you review and understand the privacy policies posted on any linked sites you visit before volunteering any of your personal information. These sites may also assign cookies, or allow third-party advertisers on their sites to set cookies. You can often find information regarding a site and its privacy policy on the site's home page. If you cannot find or do not like a site's privacy policy, you may prefer not to do business with, or furnish information to, that site.
6. Do privacy protections exist in AARP's Online Community?
It is important to understand that the information you submit in personal profiles, message boards, journals, chat rooms and user groups is publicly displayed. Your messages will be seen by people and organizations not related to AARP, and may be used by these third parties to contact you. As a result, you should be very careful about the information that you publish online. Because these unrelated parties will also see your "User Name" on any postings that you make in online discussions, you may not want to use your full name as your User Name. You can use your first name only, or use an assumed name, if you like. Read the Terms of Service to learn more about using the AARP Online Community.
7. How does AARP.org protect security and confidentiality?
In order to protect your personal information, we use technologies and processes such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls, physical security and other measures. Although we cannot guarantee the security of our database or our servers, these measures are designed to increase the security and privacy of information traveling to, from and within AARP.org. Only our authorized employees or agents carrying out permitted business functions are allowed to access personal information. Employees who violate our privacy access policies may be subject to disciplinary actions, including termination when appropriate.
In order to interact with AARP.org, we require you to use a password to protect your account from unauthorized access by others. If you do allow others, including family or household members, to access AARP members-only services through your personal password or to use your membership account number, please understand that you are responsible for the actions of those individuals.
This privacy policy describes the types of information we currently collect, and the ways we use and protect that information. If you are uncomfortable with our policies and practices, please do not provide any personal information to us through AARP.org.
From time to time, we may collect different types of information and use that information in different ways — for example, when we add features or services to AARP.org. In these cases, we may edit this policy to explain the new practices. Because protecting members' privacy is very important to us, we do not expect major changes in policy. However, if we do make significant changes in our practices, we will include announcements on the AARP.org home page so that you will know to review the revised policy.
8. Whom can I contact with privacy questions?
If you have any questions or comments about your member information or this privacy policy, please send an e-mail to email@example.com, call us at 1-888-OUR-AARP (1-888-687-2277) or write us at the address listed above. We will do our best to investigate any issues you may have and respond promptly to your concerns.
For more information about online privacy issues generally, we encourage you to visit the Web sites of the Federal Trade Commission, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center.

John Abraham, Adrian Wilson to visit Patriots
The Patriots appear ready to turn their attention to defense, with two veteran free agents reportedly set to visit Foxboro. According to multiple media reports, defensive end John Abraham and safety Adrian Wilson are coming to New England. Abraham, who will turn 35 in May, was released recently by the Falcons in a salary-cap move. A 13-year veteran who played for the Jets from 2000-05 and Atlanta from 2006-12, he is a four-time Pro Bowl selection who has 122 career sacks. Wilson, 33, played all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Cardinals. He is a five-time Pro Bowl selection and is one of only six players in NFL history with 25 interceptions and 25 sacks. His role in Arizona, however, has decreased recently.

Hey again!
Finally i decided to write this review, i tried it long time ago but i was too lazy to write this because it's really hard to describe that feeling but I'll try. Actually i tried it twice so I'll share both experiences...
First one:
It was about 11 pm and i slept over almost whole day so i wasn't absolutely tired but other day i had to go to the school early in the morning. Perfect time to try this dose... Lay down in bed set timer on PC, played the dose and closed my eyes. I was full of energy so it was hard to focus on the dose but it worked like a charm (I think because of this is perfect dose for beginners). Effects started about first 3 minutes and it was like i was a part of my bed. This amazing feeling took about 10 minutes. Then came little euphoria but just little... About 15th minute i started to feel like my bed was growing up in height, i decided to open my eyes if it will break the effect. But NO! I felt it even when i had my eyes open. This was really amazing and relaxing. When dose whs about to end i started to fell fatigue, but just like mental (like when you finish something late at night and it has to be finished other day, when you finish it you can go to bed and sleep with satisfaction that you did it... I said that it's hard to describe feeling of that dose but i hope you understand what i'm trying to say). After dose was finished i just turned on other side and fell asleep with smile on my face. One of best sleep, i've ever had (does it make sense? ). Dreamless, but really relaxation sleep. When i woke up other day i didn't want to stand up from bed but i had really good mood and whole day i was just smiling... Really nice experience
Second one:
This time i tried it because other day i had performance so i was really excited and i couldn't sleep... Whole performance was playing trough my head. I really wanted to have enough energy other day so i decided to listen to this dose. And this time it was really fast, i think i listened to it about 10 minutes and it just tired me (like last time) and i was "ready to sleep". And I don't know if it was caused by dose but when I performed the jitters was gone and energy followed me whole day.
Anyway, this is really powerful and great dose… Not trippy but although great. Definitely try this one
P.S. : I wanna ask you if you guys would like to see review on ALL (9) free doses? (Alcohol, Content, Ginko, Kava, Sleeping Angel, Serene, Taurine, YerbaMate + Prozium) I don't know if anyone else done this before but I really enjoy writing reviews so, tell me

Commonly known as the "Heart of the Bay," many people examine the Hayward apartments for rent because the city is close to many metros in the Bay Area. Its central location in Alameda County puts Hayward about 14 miles south of Oakland, 25 miles southeast of San Francisco and 26 miles north of San Jose. Two Bay Area Rapid Transit stations, Hayward and South Hayward, an Amtrak station and the Hayward Executive Airport provide quick, easy transportation throughout the region.
The city features an eclectic group of citizens. In fact, the California Department of Finance notes that Hayward had a population of 147,113 residents in January 2012, and its citizens come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Check out Hayward for a chance to be a part of a community that prides itself of being an accepting, caring environment.
As is the case with most towns and cities, Hayward has an interesting past. In fact, the Hayward Area was frequently called the "Heart of the Garden of Eden" in the early 20th century due to its rich, fertile soil. By 1950, it earned the nickname - the "Apricot City - as it featured a variety of apricot trees and canneries, and saw its population rise to around 14,000 residents. The city was incorporated in 1956, and by 1960, its population reached 72,700 citizens.
The city still features historic buildings that are incredibly noticeable throughout the area. Whether it's the Green Shutter Hotel, Hunt's Cannery or Oakes Hotel, residents are likely to find plenty of historic sites near rentals in Hayward.
The Hayward Unified School District serves residents in this city, and includes three high schools, five middle schools and 21 elementary schools. Additionally, citizens have access to an Adult Education Center and a child care center for pre-school kids from the district.
There is a variety of higher education offerings available in Hayward. The city hosts California State University, East Bay, which provides pupils with over 100 career-oriented fields of study. Meanwhile, the campus overlooks the scenic San Francisco Bay - a picturesque view for students traveling to and from class.
In March 2012, Hayward had a cost of living higher than the national average. According to City-Data.com, this city had an average cost of living of 131.4 compared to the U.S. average of 100, which shows that rentals in Hayward, California, may cost residents slightly more than in other areas.
However, it's worth noting that they might be able to earn more if they live in Hayward. In 2009, the median household income was nearly $3,000 higher than the Golden State average. Some of the city's top employers include AT&T, PG&E and the city of Hayward, so it might be possible to find work close to home in this city.
Hayward might be considered 62.55 square miles of happiness to some residents, as the city offers a collection of recreational activities and events. The summer concert series remains popular for many locals every year, and the Tony Morelli Bandstand in Memorial Park allows residents to listen to a vast selection of music
Many shoppers enjoy the Southland Mall, which features boutiques, electronics retailers, fitness centers, jewelers and more. This mall has offered community members a one-stop shopping experience since 1962. Stores such as Champs Sports, Macy's and RadioShack offer a collection of goods and services to suit visitors' needs.

Deidre Robinson's cheeks flushed as two ride attendants tried to push her safety guard into the lock position.
At 310 pounds, Robinson knew she'd have restrictions at the theme park, but that didn't make her feel any less humiliated when she was told she couldn't ride the roller coaster with her daughter.
"There was a big guy next to me and his snapped," she said. "I thought, 'There's something wrong with that.' Obviously I was a lot bigger than he was."
The 2007 event was one of several turning points for Robinson, now 31, who was eventually inspired to join Weight Watchers and start doing Zumba, a Latin-inspired dance fitness class, in February 2009.
Less than two years later, the South Carolina native had dropped more than half her body weight -- going from a size 24 to a size 2 -- and was ready turn her healthy lifestyle into her livelihood.
Childhood scars
"My mom always called me thick," Robinson said. "Back in the fourth grade, I remember my mom measuring my cereal ... three-fourths a cup of Cheerios."
Nobody in her family had ever battled weight problems, she said. They couldn't understand why she gained weight while eating the same things as her sister, who "to this day is just genetically thin."
By high school, she had tried just about every diet out there: from eating only chicken and rice every day for a month to "the no-carb thing."
The quick results were nice, she said, but nothing ever stuck.
Things didn't get any easier after graduation. Robinson's parents and sister, who she said she's very close with, tricked her into attending a weight intervention under the false pretense of discussing a bill.
She showed up with her boyfriend at the time, who wasn't overweight.
A few years ago, they tried again, giving Robinson a gym membership for Christmas.
"For my family to come at me like that ... they didn't intentionally try to hurt my feelings, but they were trying to wake me up," Robinson said. "They didn't know what it was like. They never had weight problems. They ate the same food (as me). They're the ones who took me to the restaurants."
Robinson said her family's well-meaning gestures did nothing to motivate her to lose weight. Rather, they made her defensive and caused tension.
Robinson's dad wasn't overtly hard on her, but she could tell he was disappointed -- "like he thought I let myself go," she said, which might have been unfair considering he had his own vice.
Just as Robinson considered eating a habit that she had little control over, her dad had smoked cigarettes since he was 20. He died at 45 in 2004 from coronary artery disease, five years before Robinson lost the weight.
"The one thing I hate the most is that my dad never got to see (me thin)," she said. "I know how proud he'd be that I got that weight off. He was always so proud of me for my job accomplishments, but he could never understand why I couldn't get that part right."
The tipping point
From what she could wear and drive to where she would sit at restaurants, Robinson's size dictated many aspects of her daily life.
"I didn't have one pair of shoes that had laces," she said. "It put me out of breath to tie them. ... I would go into a restaurant already determining in my head whether I'd need a table or booth. I couldn't drive a sports car. I literally couldn't fit behind the wheel."
And the theme park incident is just one bad memory of a too-snug safety belt.
Robinson hadn't been on an airplane in about five years when she jetted off to Miami for a work trip with her husband in 2005. She cringed as a flight attendant yelled out for someone to bring a seat belt extension over.
"In that situation, you almost feel like ... yes, you are a human being, but not only do you not fit into society because you look different and you stand out, but you literally do not fit," she said. "I wouldn't even go to a concert because the seats (were) too small. You don't want to put yourself in those situations because they're so embarrassing."
Robinson said her daughter McKenzie, who turns 10 in November, is the main reason she ultimately decided to get fit.

Last Round: 2-0
Playoff record:: 9-5
Stanley Cup Final
So, this is it. The final round.
The Boston Bruins vs. the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup final starting Wednesday night at the United Center.
Well, this one should be simple. This one should be easy.
The Hawks were the best team in the league. They've come through a tough playoff and ready to take it to the next level.
Not so fast folks.
The Bruins showed the Pittsburgh Penguins you can have all the assets in the world but it doesn't mean a thing. The Pens were beaten by a better team and beaten in every aspect of the game at the same time.
The Bruins have Tuukka Rask. The Hawks have Corey Crawford. Neither has done it before. That could be the difference in this series. Goaltending could be what it's all about here. In that corner, I'm taking Rask.
I saw it first hand at the East Final. Rask was outstanding.
Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg are a force to be reckoned with and that could be a lot for the Hawks to handle. I like Marian Hossa and wouldn't mind seeing him with another Cup as well.
I will take the Bruins in 6. The physical force will be out the talented Hawks with Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith. Another parade in Beantown this spring.
Let's get yours. Bobby please lead the proceedings.

The challenge, in conjunction with Strava, was to climb the combined height of the Alpe d'Huez, Peyresourde, Ventoux and Col de Sarenne. A total of 7, 235m was the target but, of course, many went above and beyond that figure.

Style: Eleven Cute Shoes To Shop
Written by Pip Lincolne
Be Pretty
3 Comments
My children tell me I have a 'thing' for shoes. I think that's grossly unfair, because really I have a 'thing' for clogs. And sandals. And cloggy boots. And that's it. I mean, it's hardly a blanket shoe thing, right? It's much more specialized than that.
Granted, some people do go in for shoes of all kinds, but I am MUCH more narrow-minded in my shoe amour. I know what I like. And if it's not cloggy, wooden soled, sandally, floral or metallic, I'm totally not into it. That's narrow right? Sort of? In a wooden way?!
Lucky for me (us?!) the internet is a total Aladdin's Cave of shoe delight. No. Scratch that. Maybe the internet is Prince Charming, and the whole world is attending the Ball looking for the perfect pair of kicks or clogs or pumps or mules, hoping to god that they will succeed in fit and form like Cinderella did. (But quite often pretending that half-size won't matter and hobbling more like one of those ugly step sisters…)
Hm. Does this sound like you? Never fear. Just measure your foot properly before you take flight. Come shoe shopping with me!
Do you fancy popping any of these in your wardrobe, peeps?

"The potential recreational value of a large lake, which would be created by the proposed Saline River dam, is evident in last year's attendance at similar lakes which have become major recreational attractions. Lake Ouachita, formed by the Blakely Mountain dam near Hot Springs, had 1,743,000 visitors, and Bull Shoals reservoir, extending from Northern Arkansas into Southern Missouri, had 1,663,000. The lake impounded by the proposed Saline dam would not be as large as these two, and the number of visitors it would attract annually is a matter of speculation.

"They" say — whoever the proverbial "they" might be — that timing is everything. I won't argue with the thought, particularly in regard to the timing of this column. As I write it, Thanksgiving hasn't happened yet, but by the time it's published, Thanksgiving 2013 will be history. So what do I focus on as I face the challenge of being betwixt and between what really is my favorite holiday of all? I guess I'll just go for a hodgepodge of "stuff." First, to belabor the point I just alluded to, Thanksgiving really is at the top of my holiday calendar list.
Lynda Hollenbeck email@example.com
There are certain foods that I like year-round, but they don't come to mind until special seasons of the year. One of these is candied yams. I could enjoy these any day of any week of any month of any year, but unless something brings them to mind — or really to eye — I just don't think about them. While sweet potatoes themselves have more or less come into their own in recent years, I have to be reminded that they're around — though truth be told, I never met a sweet potato I didn't like.
Recently, as I was fishing around in a dresser drawer, I came across an old watch that had belonged to my daughter a lot of years ago. This was a Cinderella souvenir timepiece and featured the beautiful Disney character under the crystal. Judging from the number of Cinderella wannabes I saw recently at Downtown Benton's Spook City, it appears that Cinderella still is a popular literary/movie heroine for little girls.
Earlier in the week Courier publisher Steve Boggs gave his take on Daylight Saving Time — or rather on the adjustments one must make to accommodate the semi-annual change from Daylight Saving Time back to Central Standard Time. Steve's chief concern was resetting all the clocks that govern his life.
Remember the time when Halloween got a bad name? Religious right groups and various others protested the holiday as evil, and trick-or-treating for a lot of youngsters was verboten. Witch costumes in particular were viewed as symbols of demonic worship. Even when it wasn't a popular position to take, I argued in favor of the celebration and said folks needed to lighten up and let the kids enjoy a harmless activity. There's nothing any cuter than a little girl all donned out in witch's garb, particularly the classic pointed hat.
It's been a long, long time since I've worn maternity apparel ― and obviously I won't be doing a repeat of this style in my future ― but I do remember those days. Yet as a woman who likes fashion and loves babies, I have taken an interest in recent trends in clothing styles for expectant mothers. In the fashion world, like everywhere else, changes are inevitable. Some are good; some are not.
A man walks into a donut shop with an envelope under his arm, beckoned by the glow of the "hot now" neon sign in the window. "Hey, whatcha got there, fella?" asks a patron enjoying his morning cup of signature house decaf, a flavorful Central and South America blend with all of the taste, but none of the jitters. "Say, friend. What I have here will change your life! Guaranteed to make you a household name in no time flat." said the man as he patted the brown manila package with the palm of his free hand.
When I was a little boy, my sister had a black cat. We weren't a superstitious family at all, so the color was of no consequence to my parents, my brother, sister and me. It was a normal cat. It loved attention, up until the point when it was through with you and walked away. The best that I recall, it was a happy cat as well. I don't remember if it was male or female, but the gender is of no particular importance here.
Lynda Hollenbeck
Children are fascinated with water — especially little boys. At least that was true for the two I raised. Their sister had no interest in H2O except as a beverage or something to swim in. But Big Brother and Little Brother were different stories altogether, and the little one's antics made him somewhat of a legend in his own time. Paul, the senior member of the trio, coined a new word for water. I just don't know how to write it.

"worst hotel, rating very wrong"
I stayed here as an overnight stop on my way back home. Hotel.com had it as a three star rating and it was about $10 cheaper than the other 3 star in the area. Both hotels sounded like they offered the same stuff. I booked the hotel while I was coming up to the exit of the expressway. It was about a ten minute drive from the expressway and I passed […] up 3 other named hotels. When I got there to check in the receptionist was in the pool area hanging out with about 10 people that appeared to be her friends. When she came over to the desk she was rude and was trying to get me checked in as fast as she could so she could get back to her friends. I opened my room and went to lock the door and there was no security lock on the door you could see it was broken of. Went to put my bag on the bed there were 2 of them and I could see they both were broken. I sat down on them to try them out and it was like sitting in a hole. So I walked to the desk and she wasn't around. I was tired and just wanted to sleep it was a long day of driving and I had a long day of driving ahead of me. I went back to the room and tried to sleep. I eventually fell asleep cause I was so tired. Woke up and went to shower and noticed that the little bottles of soap, and hand lotion were just about empty. I had my own so I was OK. The free breakfast I looked at and walked away from it I was afraid to try. The only reason I gave this place a 1 is because you can't rate it any lower. After reading some of the reviews there are a few that would agree with mine. The rest I feel that they rated it higher cause its cheap and close to cedar point.

"No place to eat breakfast!"
I had to eat my breakfast standing! Grrrrrr....Avis certifié Hotels.com
the people who own and work at this hotel couldn't do enough for us , they were very polite and helpful in every way .Avis certifié Hotels.com
Overall stay was not good. especially not for $110. Bed was hard, room got very warm during the night with ac all the way up, rain dripped on the outside of the ac unit making a very loud noise, walls are thin and could hear stomping from other rooms and people being loud. I will not be back ever.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"We stayed during the NMCA race in Aug. 2013."
The entire lobby and elevator smelled terrible. The rooms need updating as well.Avis certifié Expedia
"Great amenities and staff!"
This hotel was cheap and close to Cedar Point amusement park. We were very happy with the room, pool, and location. The hallway smelled bad. Breakfast was but we weren't expecting a buffet. The pool is over-chlorinated, but was nice to soak in after a long day at the amusement park. This is not a hotel that you can walk to places from. There are fast-food […] and local restaurants nearby. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"one night stay"
My husband and I stayed here on sat night. We thought the price of the room was pretty steep but we really wanted to stay close to cedar point so we could be there when it opened. We were unaware of the big race that was happening in the town last weekend and apparently all the hotels were booked. Which is the reason for the high price, and the reason […] there was NO parking and tons of people tailgaiting in the parking lot when we arrived. We were certain the partying was going to keep us up all night. Fortunately the rooms were pretty sound proof and we didn't hear a thing?! The hotel could definately use some upgrading, and was definately not worth the price we paid, however it did suit our needs. We stayed in a hot tub room which was kinda fun ;) had a decent breakfast in the morning and had a great time the next day at cedar point. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
The lobby smelled of rotting garbage and all the hallways smelled of cigarette smoke. The room had a faint odor of cigarette smoke and the safety latch on the door was hanging by one screw. In the morning the shower/tub never drained as well as the sink. The bottom of the tub was black! The morning front desk assistant was understanding and did write […] down the issues and stated she would give it to the manager. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Near Racetrack"
Room was clean but not updated. There was no covering on box springs. Our room was located next to a maintainence room, we were woken up by loud noise at 2 a.m., it sounded like there was a motorcycle in the room. Went to the front desk to complain and were told it was an air compressor and to deal with it.Avis certifié Expedia
"Good place!"
Ok, so this wasn't too bad despite some of the negative reviews that scared us. We did find some hair in the tub but we called the front desk and they sent someone to clean it within 2 minutes. They were very apologetic and very speedy. Everything else was very clean. It could probably use some updates but overall it was a decent place to stay. Its […] close to everything! No problems with elevators like others mentioned. The only negative thing was that the "hot tub" was barely warmer than the pool and the timer for the jets was not working so there was definite maintenance needed there. But sometimes things break. The pool was nice and the breakfast wasn't too bad, either. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
Overall, the stay was pleasant. We were disappointed there was no actual chair in the room, only two benches. There were two burned out lights in the room. One of those was the main light for entrance into the room.Avis certifié Hotels.com

"1 star motel"
TERRIBLE!!! This place was listed as a 2.5 star hotel, similar to Hampton Inn and Fairfield Inn, and should be listed with 1 star. Where do I begin? ... there was nasty dog hair on my bed sheets, some gross blood spot (or other bodily fluid) also on the sheets, some dark liquid stain all over the bathroom walls, crumbling floors in the bathroom, vent […] caked in dust, uncomfortable beds.

"decent hotel for one night stay"
It was as expected. The room is clean but the hall ways not so much.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Comfortable and convenient"
Although the hotel could use some updating (the curtains were a little ripped, carpet older ...), it was clean and comfortable. We had a good night's sleep, and the AC, shower and jacuzzi worked well. The pool was also pretty clean and refreshing. The hotel was close to I-80, and there were services and restaurants nearby. Good value.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Fine for a place just to sleep"
You get what you pay for and since we just wanted to stop on the turnpike for a place to sleep before continuing our road trip, this was fine. The hotel is tired, but the staff was friendly and breakfast is included.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"jucazzi was huge!"
Hoped to stay in Port Clinton or Sandusky however no rooms available. My husband located this hotel and room minutes by phone through hotels.com. Just a short distance from Sandusky. Mainly we needed a place to sleep after spending the day at East Harbor park / beach and a FUN evening at Mon ami for dinner and dancing. Price was good and served its […] purpose. Girl at check in was very pleasant ... we arrived very late and they gave us a free upgrade to the deluxe jacuzzi room which was an extremely large room with a balcony over the pool. It will be noisy if you are in that room when indoor pool is open and if lots of kids swimming. Pool closed right after we arrived so this was not an issue. Recommend this hotel for those who are looking for a cheaper rate and dont mind that it won't be the same as a higher rate hotel. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com

"Will choose different place next time."
This is the 3rd year I have come here taking some students to Cedar Point. It has become worse and worse each year. I will choose a different location next time. Lots of broken tiles in bathroom, broken parts on toilet, major blemishes on bathtub, and that's only in the small bathroom. Pool and hot tub are dirty. Hot tub didn't work correctly.

"nice room to attend anime convention"
room was big, and nice enough. No bad issues. Check in went fine. breakfast was nice- some hot food, some cold, even doughnuts or fruit. hot tub was very nice. staff was nice also.

"Nice when quiet"
The All American Inn is our go-to whenever we're planning on being in Norwalk. The staff is friendly and attentive. Their breakfast is usually pretty good; donuts, cereal, bagels, toast, some fruit, juice and coffee, as well as biscuits and gravy. The location is just within Norwalk, close to Milan, about 35 minutes from Sandusky/Cedar Point, I believe. […] I don't have many complaints, but it seems the summer brings out the lesser qualities. The All American Inn is rather old it seems and the walls are incredibly thin. I could hear what the people in the next room were ordering. Now this usually isn't a problem, since it tends to be fairly empty but when it's busy it really isn't the most pleasant experience. Aside from that, they could probably use some softer sheets and towels. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
The mattress in my room should have been replaced a couple of years ago. It actually sagged toward the middle and was not at all firm. My room did not get cleaned after my first night's stay.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Good Choice for Families on a Budget"
The hotel was a good choice for us as the room rate was more competitive than that of those closer to Cedar Point and the drive of 20 minutes was not overburdensome. We were able to check in without any incident and the kids could swim right away.Avis certifié Expedia

Dirty footprints in the hallway carpet were there when I arrived in the early eve. They were still there the next morning, with no chambermaid in sight. Room had a layer of dust all around the edges, as […] no nozzle tool had been used to vacuum for a long time.

Consequently, we had to run the sink water full in order to have […] any hot water to the shower. There was no hot water tothe sink at any time. We did report the issue to the front desk each day. We were told the GM and maintenance were informed. On the day we checked out, we stopped at the front desk once again.

The lobby was nice & the woman at the front desk was very nice & helpful.Once we got into the actual hotel there were rooms with the doors wide open with people drinking & running around the hallways.We got in our room & it at first glance looked very nice. The first thing I did was take a bath when […] I got there that is when I notices the nasty dirty toilet, it looked like the inside had not been cleaned in months. The shampoo that was left for us was not even enough to wash my hair. There was NO ice in the ice machine. Someone must of called the police because there were 2 cops in the parking lot talking to a group of people. There was a shirtless drunk man in the parking lot that tried to start a fight with my boyfriend as we were walking back to the hotel. After that we decided to lock ourselves in the room for the night & catch some sleep...but could not the room above ours have a constant dripping sound & the alarm clock in our room was making a weird low frequency sound of whining, I had to unplug it to make it stop. In the morning the carpet was a little wet from the hot tub so I placed a towel in the floor & browish yellow soaked through onto the towel... it was so disgusting!! When was the last time the carpets were cleaned!? I was very let down with everything besides the service we received at the front desk. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com

For two weeks every year, New York City is transformed into the tennis capital of the world. And it's only fitting that St. John's University, another fixture of the city, would join the action, hosting two events during opening week – one for Red White Club members and another for alumni and friends.
Photo gallery
At the St. John's US Open Tennis Gala, members of the Red White Club had the opportunity to mix and mingle during the night session of the tournament's opening day. Guests chatted with St. John's Men's Tennis Head Coach Eric Rebhuhn and Women's Tennis Head Coach Taka Bertrand, and all proceeds from the event supported Red Storm Tennis. "I'm a big fan of the sport," said Harry R. Beeth '67CBA, '70MBA who, along with his wife, Vanna, helped organize the event. "I used to work for the United States Tennis Association, so a night like this is a natural fit for me. St. John's was instrumental in my success, and I always jump on any opportunity to give back and help out." Given that the US Open is one of the game's signature events, it's no surprise that the stars were out in full force. Alumni and friends enjoyed an opening performance from former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and even got to meet St. John's great Chris Mullin '98CBA, who handed out autographed copies of his book, Inner Game Basketball. And the matches themselves featured past champions Roger Federer and Kim Clijsters. Later in the week, St. John's hosted another event at the US Open, welcoming all alumni and friends for a private reception before the evening session of matches.For Andrew Janosick '02C, it was the perfect opportunity to have some fun and make business connections. "I don't really follow tennis," Janosick said, "but the US Open is always an incredibly unique experience right in my backyard. Plus, networking with all of my fellow St. John's alumni is a lot of fun, and it creates a great atmosphere here at Flushing Meadows." James J. LaPiedra '81NDC, '93CBA won tickets to the event during an auction at the Staten Island Golf Outing, and this dedicated double alumnus was glad to be staying connected to his St. John's family. "My son, James R. LaPiedra, Jr. '10TCB, recently graduated from the University, so my family has been part of the St. John's community for decades now," he said. "It's great to go to events like this because it lets you touch base with your friends and keep you close to your roots. And since my wife loves tennis, this is always a fantastic opportunity."

Maine's Famous Blue Fruit
Maine's Famous Blue Fruit: The Wild Blueberry
Wild blueberries are part of Maine's rich food culture. Maine produces 98 percent of this country's wild blueberries—the most in the world. Blueberries are a special treasure in Washington County, where most of the crop grows.
Generations of children have loved the blueberry picking adventures of Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey. McCloskey's classic is a magical tale of the irrepressible curiosity--not to mention appetite--of youth. Sal and her mother set off in search of blueberries for the winter at the same time as a mother bear and her cub. A quiet comedy of errors ensues when the young ones wander off and absentmindedly trail the wrong mothers.

Vivaldi: The Complete Sacred Music
11CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
The King's Consort Baroque Collection
Super-budget price sampler — Deleted
Movement 1: Magnificat
Movement 2: Et exsultavit
Movement 3: Et misericordia
Movement 4: Fecit potentiam
Movement 5: Deposuit potentes
Movement 6: Esurientes
Track 6 on CDS44171/81
11CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Movement 7: Suscepit Israel
Movement 8: Sicut locutus est
Movement 9: Gloria
The Magnificat is notable for its conciseness. As it is a setting of the canticle sung at every Vesper service, it was inevitably destined to be repeated time after time, and this is perhaps the reason why Vivaldi exercised such restraint. It opens strikingly with the favourite chromatic passage set to the first verse. There follows an aria a tre, a movement in which the text of each of the three succeeding verses is sung by a different voice. Even the choir makes a brief appearance, repeating the altos omnes (all) with punning effect. This is followed by the most extended and memorable of all the movements, a chorus on the verse beginning Et misericordia eius. Here Vivaldi expresses great poignancy through chromaticism and anguished melodic intervals such as the major seventh. The next two verses are set as a pair of choral movements: Fecit potentiam dramatically demonstrates the Lords strength over a splendidly busy bass line, and the mighty are put down and the humble exalted in graphic fashion. Next, to illustrate the filling of the hungry with good things, Vivaldi inserts a charming duet for sopranos supported by a prominent ostinato figure in the bass. The Suscepit Israel is a brief interlude, leading to the surprisingly cheerful Sicut locutus est terzet not quite the solemn homage to the biblical forefathers which this verse usually produces. The Doxology begins with a condensed version of the works opening bars (the punning possibilities of the words As it was in the beginning are rarely overlooked!), followed by a vigorous double fugue in traditional style.
