14) Burns and Allen:
Burns and Allen remain one of the most successful and memorable husband-wife comedy teams of all time. Their performances on radio began in the mid-30s with those that were variety radio programs . The programs featured an announcer, band leader, and various character actors and the whole act was doing the show with plot contrivances thrown in usually centered on a rivals as their characters remained single even after they'd been married.
These programs weren't bad and they did show aspects of their talent that were not apparent in later shows. For example, Gracie Allen sang, and George Burns sang before entering a decade of pretending to not be able to carry a tune.They showed Gracie's zaniness found plenty of outlets. Most famously, in 1940 on their Hormel program, she staged a run for President on the "Surprise Party" ticket while on the Hinds and Honey Almond show. However, the light banter and romantic rivalry plots just didn't work anymore. At 45, Burns realized the couple was simply too old for it, so for the 1941-42 season for their new show on Swan, Burns and Allen became a sitcom with musical interludes. Singer Jimmy Cash and Orchestra leader Paul Whiteman still did some acting in addition to their singing, but receded into the background after the first season as far as the plot went.
The show became a home to a variety of characters. Clarence Nash (who voiced Donald Duck) featured in the first couple of seasons as a talking pet duck named Herman, and during the Swan Years Mel Blanc would portray the happy postman whose happy words were contradicted by his dour voice tone. When the show was sponsored later by Maxwell Coffee, Gale Gordon would play a Texas Oil Millionaire, with Elliot Lewis as a manic depressive man who swung from euphoria to rage at every job he had, and Hans Conreid as a psychiatrist who was the Burns' next door neighbor. Bill Goodwin remained the commercial spokesman, extra comic, and absurdly successful lady's man.
The highlight of course was Gracie and George. With Gracie's unimitable style and delivery, she was to 1940s radio what Lucille Ball would be to 1950s television, relying on her zaniness and timing to create fantastic situations. George Burns was the perfect straight man for Gracie and guests with perfect pitch reactions.
The couple left radio for television in 1950, but they'd left an indellible mark in their nine seasons in the sitcom format.
13) Bob Bailey
Bob Bailey did some of his best work in relative obscurity. He performed from 1946 into the mid-1950s as detective George Valentine in Let George Do It in a series that was a West Coast only production of the Don Lee mutual network, helping to bring to life the stories of up and coming writers such as Jackson Gillis. Outside of this, his radio work up until 1955 was mostly a slew of character roles on such reliable sources of such work as Cavalcade of America and Lux Radio Theater. However, in October 1955, he made his most lasting mark on radio when he became the fourth on-air Johnny Dollar.
The radio detective series had been on the wane as a genre for years after its heyday in the late 40s and early 50s. Long time detective franchises such as Dragnet and Barrie Craig had packed it in at the end of their 1954-55 seasons. However, after more than a year off the air, CBS re-launched Yours Truly Johnny Dollar as a five day a week serial on October 3, 1955 with Bailey winning the title role.
There were many things that made the show a success, but Bailey was the key. He was the perfect Johnny Dollar. He could be tough as his Johnny Dollar predecessor Edmond O'Brien, he could be more tender than John Lund, and he could generate excitement as he told listeners what they could expect in tomorrow's installment. While the Yours Truly Johnny Dollar scripts were often reused and expanded stories from other golden age shows of the 1940s. However, the scripts were well-expanded, and Bailey made every episode a joy.
The serial format lasted for more than a year, but Bailey continued to appear in weekly 30 minute episodes for another four years before the show moved to New York with Bailey opting to stay close to his family. The series continued for 22 months, and successive Johnny Dollar actors were highly influenced by Bailey's performance.
For people who grew up in the mid-to-late 1950s, he was the radio detective as they never heard Philip Marlowe or Michael Shayne. The radio detective genre had run itself to the ground through over-saturating the market, while also competing with the rise of television. The amazing thing about Bailey's Johnny Dollar is that despite these factors, it became a success.

Alex, regarding your comments about the R1, in the UK they're considered a bit of a death wish bike i.e. far too much like a race bike on the road which may explain why insurance is VERY high for them. In the 1000 range, the GSXR1000 seems the best of the bunch?
Interestingly, no-one (including me) has mentioned the Triumph Daytona 675. All the reviews I've seen suggest that's the 'benchmark' bike? However, for some reason Triumph seem to think that the US market prefers their 3 litre bike
JMT, I think Harleys are great, but they are for riders who don't mind being left behind
I don't know about "death wish", but the R1 is definitely the best literbike I've ever ridden on the track, hands down. Everything moves so fast, though - my dad just returned from Kawasaki's press intro for the new ZX-10R, and even though the track was pretty dusty off-line (Losail, Qatar), his initial impression was EXTREMELY positive.
In mentioning the 675, you've completed the list of bikes making up my current dilemma. A friend has an incredibly clean gunmetal 675 I almost bought, but then I saw the new flat black 600RR and sort of fell in love with that bike. But in the back of my mind I keep remembering how good that R1 felt at Laguna and imagining how much faster I could go on DOT race tires, and I wonder if I should just give up and buy a damn 1000 like everyone else.
Still stuck in indecision phase...

Those were done in MS Paint?!?!?
Now that is impressive! Thanks for the link. Lots of good stuff there.
Grobius Shortling was an aficionado of British History and architecture. He used his love of both to flesh out the castles, towers, and towns of his imaginary countries of Estalia and Almondsey.
The main page of his work can be found at http://www.estalia.net/estalia/estaliapage.htm
On that page are links to scores of palaces, fortresses, castles, towers, cathedrals, taverns, and towns. Although all the plans were done in MS Paint, Grobius got the absolute maximum out of the program. Check out his plans for the Hierophant's Castle http://www.estalia.net/estalia/hiero.htm, Castle Paladrian http://www.estalia.net/estalia/paladrian.htm and Chateau Nuorgk http://www.estalia.net/almondsey/nuorgk.htm among many, many others.
And if all that isn't enough, Grobius has a second, separate site devoted to imaginary castles at http://www.estalia.net/imaginary/index.htm.

I just found that site a couple of days ago, and it is one of the few times I can truthfully say I found myself openmouthed in astonishment.
Alot of detail work crammed into those maps, as well as useful information. I wish there were more color and character in the map. Still maps should be as pretty as they are functional! Nice work

MicroLite LED Torch
Product Details
Sometimes you just need a torch. When those moments spring up unexpectedly you need to be prepared. The MicroLite LED Torch fits on your key ring and is quite outrageously bright considering its dinky size. It's water resistant as well so don't panic if you accidentally drop it into the washing up. During a power cut you might not have the time or enough natural light to seek out your long lost torch in the cupboard so having a torch this close to hand at all times is a real godsend.
- An ultra bright LED key ring torch.
- Sleek black design.
- Each LED burns at over 18000 MCD (millicandella)/5 Lumens each.
- Water Resistant - the torch will survive a pretty severe splash, but we don't recommend you take it swimming.
- Requires 4 x lithium batteries (included).
- Suitable for ages 12 years +.
- Size: 4.8 x 1.9 x 19cm.

MicroLite LED Torch good BUT
I agree with most other reviews that the MicroLite LED Torch is an amazingly bright little keyring torch, and the build quality seems excellent. However, the switching mechanism is what lets it down and why I have knocked off a couple of stars! Having used it now for a couple of months, I have found that the "twist to switch off" design just doesn't work well enough. If you don't twist enough you can find that it has switched itself back on, which of course you can only discover when you have taken it back out of your pocket. The degree that it switches itself back on can vary from a faint glow, to full on. If you over-do the twist off, you are likely to find the end comes off completely whilst in your pocket. So when you go to take out your keys, the end and the batteries have fallen off and are loose. It would be perfect if it had a decent on-off button!
MicroLite LED Torch
If you're after a small torch that fits nicely on your keyring, then you can't do any worse than this one. Small, light, chucks out a large amount of light over a short area, easy to turn on and off (even in gloves) and ideal for locating the keyhole on a cold dark winters night. Just a handy little thing to have around.
Worth every penny!
This is a genius little torch, impossible to lose and a life-saver when camping or lost in the dark,its very hard to lose because its attached to the house/car keys. I bought one for myself and one for my boyfriend who goes on a lot of hiking and camping trips and he loves it too! It can light up a whole room and has survived being dropped and stepped on countless times! Would thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
Does the job!
The Microlite three LED torch is a good, robust bit of kit and is certainly bright enough for a keychain torch. However I'm not a big fan of stuff that switches on by turning the end as there is potential for it to fall off accidentally or switching on if left too far the other way. Also due to having no cover for the LEDs, they get dusty real quick and being in a confined space with metal keys means the black paint looks quite battered within days of coming out the packaging. These minor points aside I can see it serving the purpose I bought it for very well for years to come.

For anyone who wants to read a book that really goes inside the movement to indoctrinate children through our public schools, I highly recommend the new book The Good News Club by Katherine Stewart. I received an advance copy of the book months ago to review, but, because of working on my own book, just didn't have time to read it and write a review before it came out on January 24. But I'm reading it right now, and from what I've read so far, this is the best book I could imagine to explain to people just how the "The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America's Children," as the book's subtitle describes it, is happening right under everybody's noses.
The author, Katherine Stewart, embarked on her investigation of what's going on in our public schools with the best possible motivation to expose the truth – she became alarmed by what was happening in her own kids' school. She then traveled the country interviewing both other parents like herself and experts on the stealth "Good News" movement, resulting in a book that is not only full of well documented facts, but tells the personal accounts of parents who, like herself, have seen first hand what these innocuous sounding "Bible study" groups are really all about and the tactics they're using to lure and indoctrinate America's children into the fundamentalist Christian mindset.
Like I said, I haven't read the whole book yet, but what I did was to read the chapters about the things that I am very familiar with from my own work, such as the chapter on the National Council On Bible Curriculum In Public Schools and some of the stuff about Child Evangelism Fellowship. Because of my own prior knowledge of these subjects, I felt like the accuracy and thorough explanation I found in those sections was enough for me to write this preliminary review, and to call Ms. Stewart's book a must read piece of investigative journalism.
I'll be writing a full review as soon as I finish reading the entire thing, but I didn't want to wait to tell people to READ THIS BOOK!

The shower would be piped into a 2" side inlet Wisconsin/Cottage tee, (or whatever it is called in your region), so that it also used the toilet vent. The lavatory, if it was close to the toilet on the other side would be connected to a sanitary tee in the toilet vent.

Rural Stars Scoop More Nile Breweries Scholarships
1 March 2012
Ten more academically gifted children from largely poor rural Uganda families have joined elite secondary schools courtesy of Nile Breweries Limited, Uganda's beer market leader.
The rural primary seven leavers from across the country join Nile Breweries Limited's "Equality Scholarship," which the company started in 2011 to allow children of their sorghum and barley farmers study in the most coveted secondary schools.
The beneficiaries were selected by the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB), based on the Primary Leaving Education (PLE), 2011. Twenty one children are now benefitting from the scholarship.
Nile Breweries is partnering with academic giants St. Mary's College Kisubi, Kings College Budo, St. Mary's Secondary School Kitende, Gayaza High School, Nabisunsa Girls School, Ntare School, Namirembe Hillside, Namilyango College, Uganda Martyrs Secondary School Namugongo, and Seeta High School to offer the scholarship.
These schools offer concessionary entry cut off points from the rural pupils, provided they pass PLE in Division One.
"What we have done is to remove the financial barrier between these academic geniuses but financial dwarfs and their counterparts from rich families," said Onapito-Ekomoloit, the Corporate Affairs Director, Nile Breweries Limited.
"Imagine one of these kids scored aggregate 6 but had only the clothes on his body as he came to be taken to the elite secondary school," Onapito said.
The "Equality Scholarship" covers school fees, all scholastic requirements, bedding, clothing and pocket money too.
The districts whose rural children benefited from the 2012 scholarship intake included: Budaka, Bukedea, Bundibugyo, Dokolo, Hoima, Katakwi, Kisoro, Kween, Lira and Zombo.
"The NBL scholarship has restored hope to the poor children who wanted to join top secondary schools," said Rashid Lwate, a school representative from Bugembe Tea Estate School in Hoima.
He said Matia Tagababyona, one of beneficiaries, an orphan from Hoima District, had opted to join a rural day secondary school but was not even sure of the school fees.
Tagababyona is now admitted at St. Mary's Secondary School Kitende under the Nile Breweries Scholarship.
The other 2012 beneficiaries are: Rachael Nyaketcho from Bukedea; Katherine Muhindo from Bundibugyo; Ronald Opio from Dokolo; Joseph Ekellot from Katakwi; Silvan Nsabimana from Kisoro; Victor Zesiri from Kween; Joseph Ogwang from Lira and Brian Nyingambe from Zombo.
"Equality Scholarship" is only one of the Nile Breweries Limited corporate social investment (CSI) initiatives in its supply chain. The company implements also provision of clean water; health programmes, enterprise training and environment protection through tree planting.
Nile Breweries is a subsidiary of SABMiller, the world's second largest brewer by volume. It is listed on both the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges. SABMiller has a very strong commitment to sustainable development.
Note, the news release was first published in its local market on [01/03/2012].

iau0605 — News Release
IAU names dwarf planet Eris
14 September 2006, Munich
The International Astronomical Union announces the names (136199) Eris for the dwarf planet provisionally named 2003 UB313 and Dysnomia for its moon.
The dwarf planet formerly known as 2003 UB313 received the official designation (136199) Eris, or Eris in short, from the International Astronomical Union on 13 September 2006. The name was accepted almost unanimously by the Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN) and the Committee for Small Body Nomenclature (CSBN).
Eris is the second dwarf planet in a sub category of objects of which Pluto is the prototype.
The name Eris was proposed by the discovery team. (136199) Eris was discovered 5 January 2005, from data obtained on 21 October 2003 by M. E. Brown, C. A. Trujillo, and D. Rabinowitz at the Palomar Observatory.
Eris is a the Greek goddess of discord and strife. She stirs up jealousy and envy to cause fighting and anger among men. At the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, the parents of the Greek hero Achilles, all the gods with the exception of Eris were invited, and, enraged at her exclusion, she spitefully caused a quarrel among the goddesses that led to the Trojan war.
Eris is pronounced ee'-ris (see link 4).
Eris' moon, formerly known as S/2005 (2003 UB313) 1 and now known technically as (136199) Eris I, has been named Dysnomia.
Dysnomia is pronounced dis-NOH-mee-uh according to the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary.
Dysnomia is the Daimon spirit of lawlessness. She is the daughter of Eris, goddess of chaos and strife, and the counterpart to Eunomia who puts an end to the anger of grievous strife.
The name Dysnomia was accepted unanimously by the members of the WGPSN.
The name was proposed by Mike Brown (Caltech, USA) on behalf of the discovery team.
The new designations have been approved by the IAU Division III Organizing Committee and by the IAU Officers and have been announced in IAU Circular 8747 13 September 2006.

I loved everything! My server, Larry, possessed unusual professional skills - can't say anything but great things.
I particularly enjoyed the dessert - apple pie with a birthday candle and our waiter even sang to us! Tuna appetiser was amazing. So was the steak and the lyonnaise pots! Great service overall.
We were not rushed, and got a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We thought it was just perfect!
Mike was incredible - we went from 6 to 10 and everyone was wonderful. Food came out on time and all at once - perfect.
Our servers were absolutely amazing. They were extremely personable and attentive. It complimented the delicious food. I honestly cannot think of a single area where I didn't feel completely satisfied.
The steak was fabulous - truly melt in your mouth good! Mary K, our server, was great fun, and the filets were excellent. I can't think of a thing to improve. Thanks for a lovely evening.
Wonderful dining experience each time I go! – Great experience on Easter 2011 - party of 4 arrived shortly before our 1pm reservation - took just a few minutes and we were seated - waitress was great and very cordial - other servers very nice - food fantastic - service the best - My favorite place to eat
disappointed – My wife and I recently dined at Ruth Chris with two other diners. We go several times a year and have always had outstanding meals. This time two of the steaks, ordered med rare were well done. We returned those and the next two were cooked properly. However, none of the steaks on this night were what we had come to expect form Ruth Chris. Just not much flavor. I will definately go back and feel this was just a bad night. The service was excellent as was the rest of our meal. My favorite steakhouse in Birmingham
Great Dining Experience – The waiters are incredible in timing the delivery of each course. Their suggestions of menu items are always excellent. This restaurant not only does steaks well, but every item on the menu is amazing. We have enjoyed excellent attention from each person we have had contact with in this restaurant. We always have a date on our calendar for a future visit..
Sophisticated American chain serves up corn-fed USDA prime cuts and New Orleans-style appetizers and sides. – In Short
This offshoot of a popular New Orleans hangout for politicians features decor of dark woods and comfortable booths, with a separate bar scene. Choice cuts of custom-aged beef arrive in sizzling butter on 500-degree plates. The menu also offers chicken, pork and seafood entrees along with Creole appetizers like shrimp remoulade. Family-style sides include gargantuan onion rings, creamed spinach and various styles of potatoes. Traditional homemade desserts like cheesecake and bread pudding conclude the meal.

Be Warned--They Won't Honor Your Contract!
Posted by Jimandval on 01/11/2014
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- Booked the Pearl Hotel in NYC for 7 nights.
Checked with hotel a few days prior to arrival only to find they had no reservation for me?
Called HOTEL-RATES.com customer relations number, several times before discovering that they had made a mistake and booked me into the wrong hotel.
Unfortunately, due to cost, they totally refused to honor my original agreement with them and simply stated that they would refund my original charge!
Ended up costing me an extra $573 to re-book my hotel ( different agent )
Totally their mistake, so they should have accepted the loss and honored the original on-line booking--whatever it cost them!

We Got Robbed!
Posted by Sareybearey on 12/21/2013
Our credit card was charged three times when booking through Hotel Travel's website. It took multiple attempts over a period of an hour to process the booking in which we received a confirmation number. We did not receive a confirmation email until later that afternoon and it was not until we arrived at the hotel that they informed us that there were 2 additional bookings under our names. The hotel agreed to cancel the bookings at no cost and emails were immediately sent to Hotel Travel by ourselves and the hotel. We received the confirmation emails for the further two bookings the next day. After many emails explaining our situation Hotel Travel decided to charge one night's accommodation for both of the duplicate bookings and we are still awaiting our refund. We are budget travelers and chose Hotel Travel for their low rates, we want other travelers to beware that you may not save in the long run with Hotel Travel and we wish that we had read the bad reviews before using Hotel Travel.

A Freak Out Booking Experience
Posted by Clarao on 12/20/2013
PHILIPPINE, CALIFORNIA -- I called the Hotel.Com center using free 1800 number on 14 December 2013, to book a hotel room in Asian country. The staff was so patient, kind and cooperative. She tried to find a room which is suitable for me and best to my liking. I am so happy and after thinking a few minutes, discussed with my family (which took a while), then proceeded to pay with my credit card. I mentioned everything in details as what she required in order for me not to miss any special deal/opportunity of the discount hotel. After that, just right after she took all my card details, she told me that my credit card has been declined and she disconnected our telephone conversation all of sudden after a long talk ! I was so shocked, disappointed, and wonder why she would like to do this to me. I checked my credit account and there is nothing wrong or being declined/cancelled.
I made a new call and asked if I could talk or be connected to her again, her name is Rain (as she told me so). But regrettably no one can do such thing, they said they were not authorized to connect with any staff/agent that you dealt earlier. I became more panicked and worried about that. The new staff tried to finalize my early booking but out of my expectation the hotel room does not even exist ! All of this hotel rooms has been booked/sold out. One of the facilities that Rain was given/mentioned to me was not even true as we have to pay for it and not free as I wanted. She also requested that I should pay by credit card instead of PayPal which is quicker. Now it is a big concern as she was lying many times to me and I am afraid she would do something or use my credit card for other purposes in the future.
For what I've read from the review of this hotel website, it is just freaked me out because I always think that they might still can use my details later.
These are 2 reviews that appeared to be quite similar case as mine :
1). "I just got off the phone with a representative from Hotels.com because there was an illegal withdrawal from my bank account by them for reservations I never made. I have used them about 8 months ago, so I assume this is where someone from their agency got my info. When I called them about the unauthorized withdrawal, I am told I have to wait to get them to put my money back. It angers me to think that someone from their company has used their ability to access customers' info, make illegal transactions like that. Instead of reversing the action to replace my money immediately. I will never ever do business with this company again"
2). "I was notified by my bank that my credit card had been compromised. I called Expedia.com/Hotels.com to dispute the charges. Initially, I was told by an agent of Expedia.com/Hotels.com that my credit card had not been used, however after asking to speak to a supervisor, I was informed that my credit card was currently being used to book a hotel room in Great Britain. They told me that although the person was currently in the hotel room, that they could do nothing to help me.
I am a struggling college student and cannot afford such issues. To make matters worst is knowing that a criminal is right at the hotel and living it up and HOTELS.com says to just talk to the bank on Tuesday. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK ANYTHING WITH HOTELS.COM. THEY ARE ACCESSORIES TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY!!!"
Even though I reported to the Security officer one day after the incident; this is what she replied : that not too worry because it has a secured booking website/system and your personal and card details are safe with us; that we work in paperless environment wherein your card details are directly typed into the system no one has an access to the details ; fully encrypts the entire credit card number and encodes it into a completely non-usable (un-readable) form,
I still won't believe at all.

Hotel-rates.com Charges More Than the Hotels Rate and Exhorbenant Fees
Posted by Darelldsw on 12/09/2013
I booked unknowingly on hotel-rates.com. I thought I was on Super 8's site. They charged $28 more than the hotel would have charged directly. Emailed customer service resulted repeatedly that they could not find my reservation, even though I included a link including the confirmation number to the confirmation site. Total rip-off.

Do Not Use
Posted by Jessandscott on 11/18/2013
TEXAS, TEXAS -- I booked with HOTEL RATES.COM because they showed an A+ by the BBB and claimed to have the lowest rates. I paid a total of 84.00 for a room that was 49.00 a night standard. My room was terrible, hair in the bed, smoke detector ripped out of the wall, dead bolt broken ECONO LODGE in Alexandria, LA... I called hotel rates to tell them I wanted a refund .. STEVE said no we don't refund -- we can ask the hotel to send a voucher !!!
So I called ECONO LODGE corporate they said I should not have used HOTEL RATE.COM.

I Was Ripped Off. Found That I Paid 50.00 More Than the Hotel Would Have Charged
Posted by Tttravis1 on 09/29/2013
I called to make a reservation for Pahrump NV (no Choice Hotel there). When I arrived at the Best Western I found out that the rate was $50.00 less if I had booked it myself. I realized that there would be a charge but that is unreasonable. I know now why I stick with Choice Hotels. I will never use your service again.

Highly Overpriced, Useless Price Guarantee.
Posted by David5014 on 09/10/2013
MOOLOOLABA -- I booked an apartment in landmark hotel, Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia. I booked in January this year as I was told by my daughter who I am visiting in Oz, that it is a very busy time of year on the sunshine coast, and if I leave it late, I might not get in. We have been saving for two years to get to see her, as we live in the U.K.
Two weeks ago I was surfing the net and found the exact same hotel, apartment and time scale that I had booked £1000 cheaper on booking.Com.33% Cheaper, so I tried to claim using their price guarantee. What a performance I have been through and still no settlement. Ten e-mails and 3 phone calls, and no - one can deliver even a sensible or understandable reason why they refuse to honor their own price guarantee. They cannot find the website I have quoted, the customer service dept in India is a compete joke, they keep you on hold for 30 minutes, then say a supervisor will ring you back, guess what? They don`t, So you ring again and go through the whole ridiculous process again!!
Does any member of the management team ever read these customer feedback messages?, How can a company continue to trade in the competitive market that they are in, when treating customers in this way?, Does anyone at this company even care?.I will never book again, I will tell all my family, friends and customers never to book with Expedia. David Roberts booking no. 14008999781. Disgusted

That's because those "guarantees" are gimmicks to get you to book with them.

If you had called the Landmark Hotel direct you would have gotten an even better rate. Priceline, Hotwire, Travelocity, all of them are crooks!

ARUBA -- Hello All,
I am writing to share my
recent wonderful experience on the Island of Aruba! I have had the pleasure of
visiting several Islands in the past but I must say Aruba topped them all. From
my departure from the plane on the Island straight through to my return trip, it
was none stop pleasure. All of the people in Aruba were so friendly, welcoming
and pleasant. They helped me navigate my travels, escorted my family to tourist
sites and referred me to the most beautiful beach I have ever been to in my
life, Baby Beach!! Oh what a wonderful place. The water is beautiful, the
atmosphere is lovely and you can enjoy the water even if you can't swim and it's
safe for children. And to top it off you can get a great meal while your there.
I urge all visitors to stop into the Big Mama Grill. The food is superb, the
décor of the restaurant is beautiful, the staff is courteous and the prices are
reasonable. As New Yorker I am a burger eater and often visit the Famous
Jimbo's for a Burger but after having Big Mamma Grill's Hamburger deluxe
Jimbo's will never taste the same. In fact the food was so good I had to go
back a second day and try the seafood platter, and it was absolutely delicious.
The decor of the restaurant is that of the Flintstone era. They provide the most
comfortable inside or outside settings to enjoy your meal. Big Mamma Grill was
just delightful and delicious. So for all travelers looking for a place to take your
next vacation I highly recommend the Island of Aruba! And make sure while
there you visit Baby Beach for a day of relaxation on a beautiful beach and
afterwards make sure to stop into Big Momma's Grill for a delicious meal in a
lovely comfortable Flintstone setting I promise you won't be disappointed.

Be Wary Of Hotel.com
Posted by D93420t on 03/09/2013
WEB SITE -- Hotel.com does not support its 'refundable' claims in the web site based hotel reservations. When I needed to change the arrival date, even though I was making the change 6 months prior to the reservation date, I was charged night's hotel fee. I called hotel.com about this, and after spending an hour and a half on the phone and talking to 3 different people, I was not able to get the problem fixed.
I won't use this web site again and recommend to others not to use the site.

Posted by BobSF on 2013-03-09:
This is a reason to book direct with the hotel. In my experience I have never found a 3rd party vendor that was cheaper than using a hotel's website directly. I have not used 'name your own price' though. Many hotels say you can cancel up to 4pm on the day you are to arrive with NO fees. Others may want up to 3 days notice for no fee cancellation. I've never heard of one that will not change a reservation that far in advance with no fees. Thanks for the review.
Posted by trmn8r on 2013-03-09:
This is not under hotels.com's control, according to their policy.
The hotels.com website says they do not charge for changes or cancellations. The terms for these are dictated by the hotel, so they are unique to your reservation and available to see when booking and are contained in your confirmation email.
When you book directly, most hotels will have 24 hours notice or longer if you reserve multiple nights. My guess is some hotels that agree to work with hotels.com set more stringent rules. If you look at it from the perspective that you are booking an "unwanted" room, you can almost convince yourself that that the hotel feels justified.
Just one more reason to avoid third party agencies.

Blinc Long Lash
Blinc Eye Mousse
Formerly known as Kiss Me, blinc is the original eyeliner invented to form a water-resistant layer of color that contours your eyes. Since blinc is not a cosmetic paint like conventional eyeliners, it cannot fade, smudge, run or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.nnnnThe intense layer of color creates a dramatic look that lasts all day. Only when you are ready for removal, the layer of color will effortlessly slide off your skin into your hand without the use of a harsh makeup remover. It's better than waterproof!nnnnIdeal for those with sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers, and active people in search of an eyeliner whose look, hold and ease of removal is without compromise.

Over the past year, we've written countless headlines about conflicts whether they were physical, political or ideological. Some were fueled by liquor; some by egos and some by long-standing rivalries.
Each of these head-buttings have repercussions beyond the people who are exchanging barbs or blows. We ask each of you to think about what those effects are as we move into a new year in just a few days.
In particular, we look at the rival biker gangs who are reputedly doing business in this city. Four Vagos Motorcycle Club members have been charged in an assault on another man that led to him requiring surgery. The ripple effect of that confrontation has tarred the neighbourhood where it happened and has put people on edge about the level of violence in this city.
The same statement applies to the various stabbings in this community over the past year and a half. The deaths of Matt Courneya and Rodney Hadwyn, and the continuing legal proceedings related to them, have highlighted the fragility of a life once a knife becomes part of a fight.
Six further serious stabbings in Peterborough this year have left physical and emotional scars for the victims and their families. While we lament the gun violence in the United States, the knife is becoming the weapon of choice here with serious consequences as well.
Politically, we finish off the year with two standoffs between four of our major institutions:
- The City of Peterborough refuses to share its police service with Lakefield in a budget battle that became a power struggle.
- The County of Peterborough refuses to admit its leaders committed to $16 million worth of interest along with a $14.4 million "gift" to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre, leading to the hospital trying to resolve the impasse in court.
Both these should be resolved through our leaders looking at what's really at stake in terms of dollars and credibility, then decide if this is worth the fight. You're spending your time, but our dollars, to try to prove you're right. Instead, you should be leading by example and finding solutions together.
Each year, we hope for a brighter future and peace among our citizens. The tradition stands as we head into 2013.
Whether it's a physical fight or a political game, there are rarely true winners. Remember that message when you face off in the new year. Then take a step back and do what's right, even if it means admitting you're out of line.
It's better for everyone in the long run.

Have you ever wished you knew the keys to excelling at your job, understanding your market, or connecting meaningfully with your customers? In our second course in the Invaluable series, Invaluable: Developing Your Business Savvy, Dave Crenshaw teaches you how to become a student of your company, your market, and your customers.
Business savvy is surely something we all intend to develop as we go about our daily jobs. But in the bustle of heavy workloads and demanding responsibilities, it's sometimes easy to lose sight of the things that define long term excellence, customer connections, and a clear picture of the market.
For example, how would you answer the following questions?
- What does my company want from me?
- Where is my company headed, and how do I fit with its direction?
- What's happening in my field, and how does that affect me?
- What's my competition up to?
- Who is my customer, and how can I serve that customer?
When I took some time to ponder these questions, I was pleasantly surprised by the volume of insights I gleaned in a short amount of time. Whether you're beginning a new career or hoping to grow in your current role, you'll find that Invaluable: Developing Your Business Savvy is full of practical tips to help you explore questions like these.
The quest to become an invaluable professional is one that's full of self-discovery, tough questions, and big rewards. Please let us know how you're enjoying your journey in the comments section.

The session was designed to introduce teachers to participatory media tools through the concept of student projects. That is, what are students in biology courses across the country, doing with these new web 2.0 tools? In my travels, I have the good fortune to meet some amazing teachers and see the work of some equally amazing students – I wanted to showcase them. And, in the process, hoped that NABT participants might be inspired to give a few of them a try with their own students.
Together we walked through 10 different projects that 9th/10th grade or AP biology students had created using web tools like VoiceThread, Animoto, ToonDoo, Bookemon, Facebook, Google Earth, and creating podcasts. Then, because the group was small (but mighty!), we decided to try our hand at creating a podcast together. We broke into three small groups – one wrote the script, one picked some photos from a collection I'd put together on a jump drive, and one brainstormed ideas on how such a podcast might be best used.
Here's the online slideshare from the session but maybe the best way to give you a feel for it is to share with you the podcast that the group created. In the space of about 10 minutes, here's what a creative group of biology teachers and one PowerMac did together. Fabulous.
This is the audio version, the enhanced version (with photos) can be downloaded onto an ipod or droid.

Bird on a Wire
From the garden this summer, waiting for the hummers to come. I was fortunate to have my camera by my side when this friend took respite from his hunt for sweet honeysuckle.
The garden is where the true world exists... and this is where we go to lose our sense of importance. The real action of the planet is interpreted elegantly by the work of insects and birds. We shrink and expand according to their dictate."

Torrington Beautification effort earns praise
Over the past several months, the downtown Torrington flower beds and barrels, in addition to planting boxes at City Hall, have been meticulously cared for by a dedicated group of volunteers. Their efforts have helped to make downtown as beautiful as ever over the summer, and I am appreciative of their hard work.
Jen Plasky of Seasons of Growth,; Kyle Curley of Muddy Waters Landscaping, and Trudy and Peter Mahler of the Beautification Committee, have given of their time, energy and talent to help create and maintain the beautiful plantings that we were blessed with. In addition, their efforts were supported generously by Sanjay Patel of The Yankee Pedlar Inn. Leading the committee and helping to connect these civic minded individuals has been Fletcher Waldron. I am extremely appreciative of the contributions of these individuals; it makes me so proud to know that Torrington is home to so many who care greatly about their community.

Syria Crisis: Dramatic Footage Reveals Scale Of Devastation In Homs As Tank Columns Roll
Dramatic footage of rocket attacks and tank assaults in the town of Homs in Syria have emerged as activists reported the heaviest bombardment of civilian areas since the start of anti-government protests.
Videos posted to YouTube by the British-born Syrian activist Danny Adbul Daymen appear to show a blasted landscape of civilian and residential buildings under apparently constant fire from rockets.
In one clip dated 8 February, which shows fire and smoke pouring from buildings, Daymen says:
This is Homs, Baba Amr, you can see over there another rocket landed on one of the civilians houses, this has been going on all day, since 5am.
This is beyond barbaric, and nothing can be done.
Ask all knowing Nadin and FearLess Leader.
