Boro U21 side faced their Liverpool counterparts at The Academy, Kirkby, in a bid to finish second in the table behind the Merseysiders, the only side to beat them in the last six games.
That would allow them to qualify for the Elite section early next year.
Interested spectators included Jamie Carragher, John Aldridge and former Boro legend Stuart Ripley.
Included in the home side was the returning Brazilian international Lucas Leiva, who had been out for three months with a thigh injury.
Boro fashioned the first chance of the game on 10 minutes when Wilson Kneeshaw burst down the right wing. He swung the ball over to Cameron Park, but the winger's shot went over the bar.
Liverpool then started to impose themselves and they nearly took the lead when a great ball from Pacheco found Morgan, who tried to chip Connor Ripley. However the keeper got something on the ball, which allowed Christian Burgess the chance to clear.
Morgan, chanced his arm again on 18 minutes, but his deflected shot was acrobatically tipped over by Ripley.
There was brief respite for the away side on 26 minutes when Park swung in a fizzing left wing free kick. This caused mayhem in the Liverpool box, but unfortunately for Boro the ball was finally cleared.
Liverpool could easily have found themselves down to 10 men when left back Robinson first caught Andre Bennett with a flying elbow, then seconds later flew into a crashing challenge on Burgess which caused him to have lengthy treatment.
Half time: Liverpool U21s 0 Boro U21s 0
Liverpool thought they had broken the deadlock on 51 minutes, when a Pacheco snapshot forced a Ripley save. From the rebound, Adorjan knocked the ball into the net but was adjudged to be offside.
Boro hit back and came so close to taking the lead just after the hour mark. Ryan Brobbel played in an inswinging corner and Burgess met the flick on at the back post, but the ball was deflected wide by Robinson. The match official gave a goal kick much to the chagrin of the tall centre half.
On 67 minutes Park released Wilson Kneeshaw, who burst through the middle. He took the shot early but his 25 yard effort was saved by Gulacsi.
The home side finally took the lead on 77 minutes through Adam Morgan, who was also the match winner when the two sides met at The Riverside earlier in the season. He showed good composure to round Ripley and tuck home.
Boro were struggling to make inroads into a Liverpool team who have remained unbeaten all season, and you could see why with a slick powerful passing style.
There was opportunity for just one more Boro chance which came a minute from time, when Park played a right wing free kick into the box. Just as it looked like Kyle Oliver was going to get his head on it, the keeper managed to punch it out to safety.
The game drew to a close with another great tip over from Ripley, this time from substitute Teixeira.
A quick comparison of the two sides makes interesting reading. Liverpool included eight players who have had first team experience at various clubs. Those players have amassed in excess of 250 games, with 150 of them coming from Lucas Leiva, who has also been capped 20 times by Brazil. The Boro team only included Park and Ripley, with 13 senior appearances between them.
Boro are now third in the table, one point behind Wolves, with both teams having one game to play. Boro's final U21 game of this current phase is on December 3 when Chelsea visit the Riverside, kick off 7pm.
Boro: Ripley; Bennett, Weldon, Dolan (Capt), Burgess, Oliver, Park, Brobbel (Edwards 78), Waters (Jones 58), Kneeshaw, Sirrell (Fowler 56). Unused subs: Bland (gk), Morris
Liverpool: Gulacsi, Flanagan (McLaughlin 77), Robinson, Sama, Sokolik, Coady (Capt), Morgan, Leiva (Roddan 61), Pacheco, Adorjan, Pelosi (Teixeira 69). Unused subs: Ward (gk), Ngoo
Booked: Robinson, Morgan (Liverpool)
Boro MoM: The vote goes to Andre Bennett, who excelled especially in the first half with strong defending and cool distribution. Other players of note were Connor Ripley, who produced a string of saves, and again captain Matty Dolan, who acquitted himself well against Lucas.

Two hundred are expected to attend a rally with the goal being to influence Congressman Frank Wolf (R-10) to support immigration reform, organizers said.
"It's a way to get him to support a pathway to citizenship…it's not to make him look bad," said Noah Feldman, northern Virginia community organizer for Virginia New Majority, the group planning the rally.
"What we want to show him is that so many of his constituents believe in immigration reform now," Feldman added.
Virginia New Majority is an Annandale-based group that organizes "communities of color, women, working people, LGBTs, youth and progressive people," according to the group's website.
Feldman said that Wednesday's event, like most of their events, are non partisan. The group will meet at Rachel Carson Middle School, where they will host a rally, followed by cultural events and later a march to the congressman's Herndon office.
Feldman said that the group is approaching Wolf in light of the unveiling so-called "Gang of Eight's" immigration reform plan.
"Congressman Wolf is one of 15 to 20 in the house who has been identified as having influence for this issue," Feldman said.
Feldman said that those participating in the rally will come from around the region, including Centreville, Manassas, Loudoun County, and other parts of Fairfax County.
The rally starts at 6 p.m. at Rachel Carson Middle School on 13618 McLearen Road, in Herndon. For more information, visit Virginia New Majority's website.

Chewbacchus is a Sci-fi Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. The Chewbacchus mission: Saving the Galaxy...one drunken nerd at a time.
Local Sci-fi fans organized the parade through the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus for the first time during the 2011 Mardi Gras season. It was a huge success and in 2012, membership has more than doubled with over 400 members, a new route, and big plans.
Chewbacchus claims to be a "Carnival Krewe for the most revelrous of Star Wars Freaks, Trekkies, Whovianns, Mega-Geeks, Circuit Benders, Cryptozooligists, UFO Conspiracy Theorists, and all the rest of Super Nerdom."
The parade will feature the Hot 8 Brass Band, the Noisician Coalition, the Consortium of Genius (C.O.G.), the Space Cadets Marching Corps., the Vajar Jar Binks Dance Team, the Mighty Wookiee Fi-Yo Interstellar Mardi Gras Indians, and more.
Obviously, the krewe name is a Mardi Gras/sci-fi mix of the beloved furry Star Wars character and Bacchus, the beloved New Orleans super krewe named after the beloved God of Wine. But wouldn't Chew-Bacchus also be a great name for a food-centric parade? Tough luck foodies, the sci-fi geeks have claimed the name.
This sci-fi parade is also DIY and green. The krewe members make their own throws and "parade contraptions". The unique throws include bandoliers (a signature item akin to the Zulu coconut or Muses shoe), bean bags, hand towels, frisbees, mutated stuffed animals, home made beads & medallions, furries Wookie things, and more.
No petroleum product-using engines allowed. So all the contraptions or mini-floats are pushed, pulled, pedaled, use electric motors, or some other green method of propulsion. There should be about a dozen contraptions in the parade.
New parade features include a timely 2012 Mayan Temple on wheels and a King Cake Flying Saucer, complete with an alien baby of course, along with a new sub-krewe of art bike riders, the Chewbikkan Cyclepods. Among the returning highlights are the Wild Chewbaccatouls, a sci-fi take on the Mardi Gras Indians, and, especially for krewe members, the Bar2D2, a mobile R2D2 keg of beer.
Anything science-fiction related is fair game for members of Chewbacchus participating the parade. Themes from Star Trek, Dr. Who, Planet of the Apes, Twilight Zone, and your basic flying saucers and robots should be well represented. Most any of the costumes seen at Comic Con would be perfect.
The original rule again fantasy themes seems a bit more tolerant this year: "No elves (unless they are cyborgs) and no unicorns (unless they have rocket thrusters)."
Many throws will have the number 42 and the krewe's membership dues are $42. That's a test of your sci-fi nerd level?
If you immediately knew that 42 is the answer to life and everything else, at least according to "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", then you probably should immediately join this krewe. If you were at New Orleans Wizard World Comic Con, you probably saw the mini-Chewbacchus parade through the exhibit floor and may already be a member.
The Krewe of Chewbacchus is seeking new members and is open to everyone.
The Chewbacchus parade is on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012 and starts at the 3-Ring Circus/The Big Top, 1638 Clio (near Lee Circle), where there will be a line-up party with drink specials. It pauses on its route at Coliseum Square Park for the royal toast
The parade ends at the Howling Wolf on S. Peters Street in the Warehouse District, the site of the Krewe's Ball, the Chewbacchal, 7-10 p.m. Clockwork Elvis and C.O.G. are featured enterainment. Tickets are $20 for non-members. Krewe membership includes free entry to the event. Non-members may buy Chewbacchanal tickets for $20.

These little pizzas are just fabulous! Try these tips though: first, purchase the thinnest pita breads you can find, and pre-toast them, rather than just warm them, in a 400 degree oven. Let them get ever so slightly crisped before topping them. This will result in a much better crust. Second, you can make your own pizza sauce which is much more flavorful than plain tomato sauce. Mix a small can of roasted garlic tomato paste with an 8 ounce can of roasted garlic tomato sauce. It is the perfect pizza sauce in both flavor and consistency, suitable for ANY pizza recipe. These little pizzas were really divine, an excellent appetizer for a party when cut into quarters. YUM!
I've made these for years, they're wonderful! a little tip - if you prefer a crispier pita - split the pita round in half so you have two rounds and as others have noted toast slightly before adding your toppings! baking time decreases of course with the split rounds.
These are great! I changed the toppings a bit, adding parmesan cheese, fresh basil, roasted red peppers and grilled asparagus. I cut each pita pizza into 6 pieces and served them at a party. We thought the crust tasted exactly like those we found on pizzas we ate in Italy. It was amazing...my friends couldn't believe that the "crust" was pita pockets!

Good mattress
The mattress itself is fantastic - super comfortable and great quality. However it is very heavy which makes it difficult to change the bed sheets.
very comfortable
very happy
but had a fault on it which is still yet to be addressed - have been waiting several weeks and no date for doing it yet
I am not sure what to describe since bad service; I got the bed 4 weeks ago but still boxed becoz its too complicated to build. I have spent 7 hrs already but still doesn't work. I got fed up in the end to get professionals for which they took £100 charged but after chasing for 2 weeks, still don't know when they will come to build the bed. I am fed up of chasing them all time and still nothing has happened. Every time I call customer services, yes someone will call you but none has called me for last 2 weeks. Not sure what to do??????

In the Spirit
The Rev. Richard G. Parker
---- — Editor's note: This is the first of two parts.
One of the more significant decisions one faces in life is the choice of a "community of faith" to which to belong. For some, it's easy. For many, it's not.
Amidst all the confusion that can accompany such a decision, it would appear that there are at least three basic types of faith communities from which to choose (and every locale is well represented by them). They are what I affectionately refer to as 1) formulaic "liturgical" centers, 2) emotionally active and interactive gatherings or 3) more-or-less passive, intellectual think-tanks. There are also many hybrids of these — a variety of combinations of the above "types." Liturgical groups, e.g., appeal largely to the senses — and the inner spirit. Emotionally active gatherings appeal more to basic human emotions ("worshiping with the whole body") — and the inner spirit. Intellectual think-tanks appeal more to the mind and to reason — and the inner spirit.
Liturgical communities are characterized by impressive worship patterns, which tend to be formal, solemn, beautiful, awe-inspiring and often memorable, even though at first one might not know just exactly what one is "expected to do" while at worship. There are also scripture readings, a sermonette, prayers and well-rehearsed music.
Emotional worship, on the other hand, involves (requires?) strong congregational participation. It is rather informal, somewhat spontaneous, employs much music, often rhythmic singing and chanting, and usually features musical instruments. Although such services often seem somewhat disorganized and uninhibited, they often provide worshipers with a time of elation, feel-good joy, a Biblical challenge via extemporaneous speaking and outer and inner warmth.
The more intellectual communities feature a more orderly setting, usually dominated by the sermon and a high quality and well-arranged caliber of musical expression (by organ, other instruments, vocal soloists, and/or well-trained and disciplined singers), which is often based on a long tradition of religious and historically sacred music compositions, or else simpler and more easily singable pieces from more contemporary church musicians. The sermon is carefully prepared and is often delivered from notes or a fully written manuscript (which can then be made available to shut-ins and other absent church-goers), and uses Biblical texts but may be accompanied as well by pertinent excerpts from the contemporary literary scene. The sermon may be strictly related to Biblical teachings per se, or it may share Biblically relevant commentary on modern-day social and cultural concerns that may have national import or simply local community interest. This service presents its worshipers with a great deal to individually think about, talk about and pray about.
But now is the time to interject a word of caution. The above "types" are admittedly too simplistically portrayed. Choosing, or being chosen by, a faith community is not like shopping for a car or for the best cut of steak to grill. If you desire a tailor-made religious experience and you insist on being your own tailor, your religious experience may not end up being very useful over time. If you prefer a highly liturgical worship format, if only for its impressive style and drama, chances are your commitment to it may risk being little more than a superficial pretense at a life of real faith. If you like a highly emotional worship format, perhaps for its excitement and its personal activities and interaction that goes with it, and you also like to "revel" in what may be described as nostalgia for "old-time religion," you may find your religious experience and spiritual sensitivity beginning to wane after a while, or it may actually fall apart when a personal crisis comes along. If you prefer the intellectual worship format, chances are your religious experience might take the form of a kind of philosophy of life rather than a living faith.
Of course, the catch here is that, first of all, authentic religious experiences are neither ONLY just liturgical or emotional or intellectual. An authentic faith-experience in a worship setting involves most of these expressional needs, and perhaps many more. I am suggesting that authentic religion with its vital faith impulses finds its source, its motivation and its spiritual appetite not exclusively in any one of the above "types" of settings, but rather in a certain few commonly recognizable principles of a God-given life, whatever worship setting you may choose. These are principles that seem to flow from the divine well-spring — basic principles that allow and encourage us to build upon our own understanding of human nature and our relationship to fellow-humans, and to enable our own understanding of God and His will for us, as well as to enhance our own sensing of the universe that surrounds and envelops us and our relationship to it.
In next week's In The Spirit column, I should like to enumerate four such God-given "principles" that come quickly to mind, "principles" that have stood me in good stead during my entire life of faith. Meanwhile, I wish you well in your continuing search for a meaningful faith community, if you don't already have one, which will help you find and be and become what God wants you to find and be and become in this often challenging and unexpected life journey of ours.
The Rev. Richard G. Parker is a retired American Baptist and United Methodist minister, who resides in Newburyport with his spouse, Karen. He may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Port Arthur News
As fall-like temperatures arrive Joyce Stahl's thoughts turn to those less fortunate.
The 82-year-old Port Arthur woman is continuing her quest to help the homeless stay warm during the cold months.
"Coats, sweaters, jackets, scarfs, hats, gloves, blankets — anything to keep them warm," Stahl said.
A former volunteer at the Hospitality Center, Stahl has seen first-hand the transients who live on the street and have nothing to keep them warm.
"I've been doing this since I moved to Port Arthur in 2000," she said of the move to take care of her mother. "I found out there are so many homeless people in the area, which is why I started this."
Last year Stahl collected more than 50 coats and a dozen blanket which were distributed to the less fortunate. The items she collects this year will be taken to the Hospitality Center and distributed free of charge after the lunch meal.
She realizes there are thrift-shops in the area which sell items for a greatly reduced rate but sometimes those in need do not have the $1 or 50 cents to purchase such an item.
"This is a personal thing I do or my ministry, my church and my Lord Jesus Christ," she said.
Stahl has suffered some medical problems and is limited physically in what she can do. She has had hip replacement surgery, suffered a stroke and had emergency open heart surgery recently.
"As long as I can move and breathe and talk I'll be doing something to help others," she added.
Donations can be brought to the senior centers in Port Arthur, Nederland and Groves as well as the church office at St. Charles Catholic Church in Nederland. Donations may also be dropped off at the American Legion Post No. 7 on Memorial Boulevard in Port Arthur. She will also arrange for the donations to be picked up by calling 982-0221.

By Hannah Finlayson
With the fifth season of "Lost," viewers anticipated — as they always do — having more questions than answers at the end of the season. Season five did not disappoint.
While fans have been able to put some major pieces together, they still wonder how "Lost" producers will be able to tie all the loose ends together. To help you catch up, while we wait for the rest of the answers, here are a few questions that have been answered.
(Ed. note: A word of advice: If you're not a "Lost" fan, when reading this, you may feel completely ... well, lost.)
What happened in the past to Danielle Rousseau's team? What did Rousseau mean when she said they got "sick?"
During season five, as the island is time traveling, Jin Kwon discovers the mystery behind Danielle Rousseau. A member of Rousseau's team, Montand, had his arm ripped off by the smoke monster. He was then taken down to into the temple by the monster. The team has no idea of what to do when Montand states calmly that the monster is gone and he needs help. This should have been a warning signal to the team; Montand's arm was ripped off his body and he is rationally and calmly asking for help. Everyone, except Rousseau — who is pregnant with Alex at the time — ventures into the temple to try and help Montand. A few months after the Montand-smoke monster incident, Rousseau has killed everyone from her team as they had gone crazy.
Who is Eloise Hawking, the creepy old British woman who for some reason has connections to the island?
She's Daniel Faraday's mother (his father is Charles Widmore). Perhaps one of the most confusing characters, Eloise Hawking used to live on the island during World War II. She was there when she and Widmore were young, when the nuclear bomb was buried in the ground.
Eloise also has ties to Ben Linus, which is bizarre — Widmore is her baby's daddy and the two men hate each other. Eloise is the one who pushes Ben to get the Oceanic Six (Jack Shepard, Kate Austin, Hurley Reyes, Sayid Jarrah, Sun Kwon and baby Aaron) to get on a plane that will take them back to the island.
In addition to Eloise being Daniel's mother, consider that we have never met Penny's mom. Could it be Eloise?
Who is Jacob?
In the season five finale, we learn the mysterious Jacob has visited every member of the Oceanic Six. When Kate Austin is a little girl, she steals candy from a store. Jacob saves her from trouble and buys it for her. When he gives her the candy he warns her to never steal again. Jacob also meets up with a young Sawyer giving him a pen at his parent's funeral, which Sawyer then uses to write a letter to the man responsible for his parents' death. When Locke falls out of the window, Jacob walks over to his crumpled body, and when Jacob touches him, Locke's eyes open and Jacob apologizes. Jacob congratulates Jin and Sun Kwon on their wedding day and wishes them happiness; Jacob is also fluent in Korean. Jack meets Jacob after being reprimanded by his father while performing surgery. To help soothe the emotionally-wounded Jack, Jacob treats him with an Apollo Bar. And finally, Jacob reveals himself to Hurley in a cab. Jacob tells Hurley that he must go back to the island and he also leaves Charlie's guitar case in Hurley's possession to take on the plane.
As quickly as we get to really know Jacob, he is done away with, killed by Ben Linus. His last words? "They're coming."
What lies in the shadow of the statue?
Richard Alpert knows. And he responds to the question in Latin. (It translates to "He/that which will save/protect us all.") The Latin suggests that Richard has been around for a long time. Also, it might be connected to the giant statue which only has four toes ... similar to how everyone is almost certain that Richard has four toes. Is Richard the human embodiment of the island?

Has a pool but it was out of order when we were there. Close to the parks so easy walk or you can catch a free shuttle. Found it hard to do laundry though as no self facilities.

Historical Traveler Reviews Disney's Sequoia Lodge Marne-la-Vallée
I'd never go back
Last month I stayed at the Sequoia Lodge and i can honestly say its the worst hotel i have ever had to endure. It took 3 hours to get checked in - the last thing you want after a day of travelling. There was a wet patch on the carpet and when I told the hotel about it they told me they couldnt do anything and "just dont dont stand on it then". I was promised a minibar or fridge at the time of booking so the kids could have cereal in the morning, when we got to our rooms there wasnt one available in my type of room (which i should have been told at time of booking). After a long arguement with a girl posing as the manager (when earlier on the phone someone else had informed me the manager was male and i was to speak to him) who tried to get rid of me without really listening to my complaint. finally i got the attention of the manager who said he would give us milk from the bar...........which would have been helpful if the bar had opened before 2pm!!! They basically had a "i dont care attitude", i actually got the room at a discount as i work as a Sales Consultant for a well known travel agent. But i wasnt so happy when the girl mentioned earlier said that because i had had a discount i couldnt complain! I replied that had i been told at time of booking a discounted price meant discounted quality i would have taken my business elsewhere. I'm currently trying to seek compensation from them and as of yet, havent even had a reply from them even though it was more than a month ago. I have heard good reports about the Hotel New York so i would advise you save up more money and go there or visit Disneyland Florida as i have visited there many times in the past and their level of standard and service is much more agreeable.
Sequoia - Poor; Disneyland - pretty good
Travelled to Disneyland Resort Paris on the 24th July 2004 on the Eurostar from Waterloo. Good journey. Four in our party; me, husband, 7 year old son and 15 year old daughter. Having been to Disney World Orlando in the past we had high expectations. The parks were as expected (clean, attention to detail, very busy) though Walt Disney Studio Park was smaller than we had imagined. Had booked Sequoia Lodge as we wanted a hotel with a pool. Our room had 2 double beds (as requested) but was pretty cramped when we were all in there. Very limited clothes storage. No facilities for making a drink, only the mini bar. The room and bathroom were dated and a bit grubby. The pool was clean, water was cool without being too cold and there were indoor and outdoor sections. We found it quite expensive to eat out but had expected this. Wouldn't recommend Planet Hollywood but we enjoyed the Rainforest Cafe. Continental breakfast was included in the deal at the hotel, it was average. We enjoyed Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, the rides in the parks, the Motor Stunt Show, the Parades and the fact that you could easily walk from the hotel to the Parks (there are courtesy buses also). The weather was hot & sunny all the time which was a big bonus.
Great location- but needs renovation!
We stayed in the Sequoia Lodge from the 12th to 16th of July. The location of the hotel is perfect right beside the lake, surrounded by lush greenery. It is a five minute walk to disney village and ten minutes to the park. The reception areas fo the hotel were overall fairly well maintained and work was on-going during our stay which we had no problem with.
We had a room in the north wing (two double beds) for two adults and one child aged eight. The corridors were stale and musty smelling. The rooms were adequate and in need of renovation, furniture was badly scuffed and some pieces needed replacing. The bathroom was dingy and the light poor. This is a budget hotel in a great location.
Great location, poor hotel
uWe stayed at this hotel 15th - 18th July 2004. The location of the hotel is superb, right across the lake from Disney Village. It's a 5-10 minute walk from the Theme Parks, or you can take the free bus from the hotel. We could go to the parks for opening as they are quiet for the first hour or two, then when it got busy and hot in the afternoon we could go back to the room for a nap, before returning to the Park for dinner.. Being pregnant, I found this invaluable!
Nothing personal
Yes, Disneyland is magic, and the convinience of Sequoia's location worth the price. But, some things need to be pointed out.
Rooms are hard to access, prepare to walk hundreds of meters. One of three elevators appeared to be operational. The stairs close to my room were often locked --- inaccessible from outside, even the table said they should be open 6-24. The room was not perfectly clean, not at €140 level. Worst of all, be prepared to wait for half an hour in the queue with your hungry children in order to enter the breakfast serving.
But Pluto was there to cheer everybody up :) Great children-friendly pool.
Sequoia Lodge Was Like Being at Home
The Sequoia Lodge was the best hotel we stayed at during our recent two week trip to Europe. The rooms are huge by European standards and were clean, smelled nice and well kept up. The down comforters were to die for. Bedding such as this was like sleeping in a cloud. For those of you who have stayed at Disney properties in Anaheim or Orlando, the next fact will stun you: you can take a 5 minute walk to the front gate of the Park. It's that close. And the view along the way is that of the lake that fronts the other 2 hotels (Newport Bay and the New York). Do not under any circumstance stay at the other two Western themed properties (budget class). They were packed and unattractive and we overheard folks who were staying there say they wished they had spent a little more for the other higher category hotels. Trust me, it'll be worth it. As part of our package, we got to enter the park an hour early to have a continental breakfast at a restaurant in Fantasyland. The offerings were great considering what passes for a continental breakfast back in the States. Meat. cheeses, croissants, cereal, the best yogurt you've ever tasted, juice, coffee and hot chocolate - not a sugary donut in sight! Then you were in the Park before the hordes entered. Don't spend the extra for the full breakfast at the hotel. The theming and landscaping at the Sequoia was lush and green - just like being at home in Oregon. Do be prepared though, for some culture shock in France. People smoke anywhere and everywhere: in restaurants, lobbies, elevators, lounges, public transportation, in lines for the attractions and every other square inch of Disneyland Paris Park. C'est la vie I guess!
Don't trust the cleaners
The hotel generally was not bad. Location is excellent, however the breakfast was poor. Not much choice. had to pay additional for hot food. Dinner was restrictive and expensive. No real choice if your'e a vegetarian and no choice apart from cheese sandwich if you don't eat egg.
Had a Great time
Had a great time at Disneyland and the Hotel Sequoia Lodge was everything that was expected. Family hotel with Comfortable rooms, It is a large and busy hotel but set in nice surroundings, a stone throw from the park entrances. Only drawback would have been nice if there were tea/coffee facilities in room other wise a pleasant stay. I would go back again but would stay 3 nights instead of two.
We have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and love it. It is within 5 to 8 minutes walk of teh Disney theme parks yet it is so far away where relaxation is concerned. It is a lovely place to unwind in the log fire bars, swimming pools and lovely decorated comfortable rooms. The staff are great and very welcoming and always willing to speak English and help you. This is a typical Disney hotel where you will have a character or two visit in the mornings. The hotel is set on Lake Disney and is just perfect for a few days away with a mixture of fun and excitement with the relaxation as well. Give it a try!

Waiting for PavanoBy
Ken Davidoff hit the nail on the head yesterday when he called Carl Pavano a symbol of the Yanks' recent failures. In discussing the way the Yankees felt about Pavano, the $40 million man who made 26 starts over four years, and the approach to team-building during the latter part of the Torre Era, Davidoff called out the Yanks.
"The truth lies," he writes, "not in choosing sides among friends-turned-enemies Cashman and Torre but in understanding what Pavano and his $39.95-million heist represented: a haphazard period during Cashman's reign in which personnel decisions were driven by haste, emotions and a lack of appreciation for old-school background checks and new-wave statistical analysis."
Davidoff notes how the Yanks of 2004 are a seemingly far cry from the Yanks of both the mid-1990s and this season. "If the Yankees had conducted better research on Pavano, perhaps they would've learned of a) his surliness; b) his stupidity; c) his bouts with apathy; and, most important, d) how the batting average on balls in play (BABiP) from his standout 2004 season – matched against his line-drive percentage that year – indicated that his numbers were boosted by luck," he notes.
Baseball, it seems, is not without its dark sense of humor. In three hours, the Twins will put their season into the hands of one Carl Pavano and the Yanks will look to move on to the ALCS for the first time since signing Pavano. During the media gaggle yesterday, the Yankees danced around the topic of Pavano.
"He worked extremely hard and he tried the best he could," Brian Cashman said. "Unfortunately too many times I'd get that phone call that we had a problem and it was one that needed to be surgically fixed, or required a lot of time to allow the healing process to take place."
Current and former Yankees — Mike Mussina, in particular — were not afraid to criticize Carl, but this week, the attacks have been muted. The team knows not to get too far ahead of themselves, but how can they not think of sore buttocks, car crashes, broken ribs and arm surgery as they face off against a player who somehow made 33 starts this year and won 14 games, five more than during his entire Bronx tenure?
Maybe Carl can provide the Twins with a reprieve for a day, but the Yankees will be itching to put Pavano behind them today. No matter the outcome, it will be fitting to see him take the hill later today against the Yanks in a potential clinching game. Expected to lead them to this point, he did simply by not being here any longer.

no offense and maybe too strong, but pavano can rot in baseball hell for the shenanigans he pulled while a yankee
You're saying he should sign the the Mets?
I am chuckling over the fact that you have damned someone to hell for "shenanigans."
any of you guys watching the sox-angels game? papelbon just blew the save! they were leading 6-4 with 2 outs and no one on and now its 7-6 and pepelbon's out of the game.
The thread before this one is the game thread for that game.
my bad guys
I hate pavano! GO YANKEES
You had to know it was going to come down to this.
I just want the Yankees to win this game–
On a pinch-hit grand slam from Mussina off of Pavano!
After we crush Pavano tonight, my spiteful side would like to see some verbal jabs at him from his former teammates.
The Yankees are too classy. That sounds like something a Met would do.
or a gritsock
They would probably mess that up and start cursing at each other.
The Red Sox loss isn't all bad, now Pedroia can start gathering acorns early to prepare for hibernation.
He works at the Keebler factory, back to his regular day time shift as the cookie filler.
C'mon Karma, don't fail me now…
It's so powerful against Pavano, it's a proper noun. This shit's in the bag.
I just want a blowout.
No close game to get me all nervous. We can save those for the Angels series.
…among friends-turned-enemies Cashman and Torre…
Doesn't this seem a bit overdramatic?
TBS is having a bad influence on the guys here.
RAB: they know drama?
They are related to TNT. They know drama.
The quote is not from the RAB guys but from Davidoff.
He was great in Die Hard.
The Yankees bats must be absolutely salivating in anticipation of Pavano on the mound tonight! BLAMMO!!!
Papelbum Chokes!!!!! Priceless!!!! The Red Sox are finished!!!!!!!! The Red Sox are back to being the Red Sox. The curse of Manny has replaced the curse of the Bambino. I thought I was watching game 6 of the 1986 World Series.
I think the story about Pavano that best sums up what a bad guy he is, is that he fired his agent when he found out his Yankee deal was $50,000 short of $40M. He should have been naming his first born after his agent!
Now I've never seen anything close to that kind of money in my entire life, but I'd like to think that if I were in his position I would feel guilty stealing from the Yankees like that. The least the guy could have done was donated it to charity of something.
As much as I dislike Pavano. That's crazy talk.
Remember when Pavano took a liner off of his head very early-on in 2005 and then MADE his next start? I remember thinking, "That shows you something."
And then that rat bastard kid started stealing. Get off my lawn, Pavano.
I can't escape the feeling that Pavano managed to beat the system yet again.
Somehow Listless Carl managed to pitch just well enough to impress potential free agent suitors in 2010, and just poorly enough to end the Twins season. It just seems a little bit too convenient.

MyOrigo mydevice MyOrigo is a small Finnish based company working on a next generation smartphone called the mydevice. While the mydevice features a lot of the usual smartphone features, it's the OS that makes the mydevice so special. MyOrigo has created some unique ways of controlling the phone ? by using movement rather than buttons. I got a chance to play around with the mydevice recently, and came back with a relatively positive experience.
Please note that the unit I used was pre-production, so is possible that anything you read below could change before the device hits the shelves. Some of the issues I had will likely be fixed or tweaked. Please don't consider this article to be a review ? think of it more as a technology demo. That said; let's get down to the hardware.
The mydevice is a tri-band device that supports GPRS, MMS messaging, and full web browsing. It features a large 176 x 320 pixel 65K color touch screen, SD card slot, VGA Camera, 64MB RAM, and a 32 bit CPU. Opening the back cover reveals the SD card slot. MyOrigo tell me that they are thinking of making the card slot SDIO capable, but in the unit I tried it was just a normal SD slot. There are 3 buttons on either side of the display that give quick access the various menus. Also, there is a button on either side of the phone which controls various functions, but I'll explain more about that later. These 2 buttons are very light to the touch, and this helps with some of the usability features. Since the mydevice has no physical keyboard, whenever a user needs to type something, a small virtual keyboard pops up, allowing easy input. The touch screen is very responsive, and it didn't feel flimsy like the P800 touch screen.
Although the unit I used was only a prototype, it had excellent build quality; it felt solid. The mydevice comes in a nice shiny gold color, which makes it look quite nice and business like. Compared to the P800, it is a little bit longer, and a little bit thinner, but weighs nearly the same. Overall, my first impression when holding the mydevice was positive.
The mydevice's OS has all the usual smartphone applications: calendar, SMS/MMS, email support, web browser, and MP3 playback. Users will also be able to install custom applications for the mydevice, but how many of these will be available is anyone's guess. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to use these applications much, but from what I saw of the calendar and music playback applications, they should be generally high quality.
But the revolutionary feature of the mydevice is the new user interface, which allows for 4 new ways of browsing information on the phone ? motion control, mirroring, the "Touch and Feel" screen, and "My Book."

Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante
Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
Review by Janine Walsh
Recently I read two novels that had something in common - their narrators were unreliable. This was not because they were being untruthful, but because their grasp on reality was fragile due to the fact that their brains were damaged.
In Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante, Dr. Jennifer White's best friend has been murdered and she finds herself a suspect. But there is a complication. Jennifer is suffering from advanced Alzheimer's dementia and half the time she can't remember that Amanda is dead, never mind if she was involved in her murder. Told completely from the point of view of Jennifer's deteriorating mind, you suffer with her as she slips further away from herself and those she loves. Your view of reality is hers - fractured, unsure and changeable as she has good days and bad days. While the murder and its solution is interesting in itself, it is only one aspect of the novel. It is also a fascinating look into the mind being lost to a horrible disease and a study of relationships - what binds people together and tears them apart.
S.J. Watson's Before I Go to Sleep opens with Christine waking beside a man she doesn't know, only to discover she is a middle age woman- not in her twenties like she remembers. The man, Ben, explains he is her husband and that she is suffering from a strange type of amnesia as a result of an accident. Every night when she sleeps she loses the past 20 odd years of memories. Christine soon discovers that unknown to Ben she is seeing a Dr. Nash who is trying to help her regain her memories and that she keeps a secret journal. As she reads her entries, Christine realizes that Ben may not be telling her the whole truth. Is he trying protect her from painful memories or is something more sinister going on? Knowing only what Christine does, the readers finds themselves on a roller coaster ride trying to figure out what is really going on and who to trust. This page turning thriller is hard to put down.
Mudbound by Hillary Jordan
Review by Marcia Blackman
As the novel opens we are immediately drawn into the thread of the story. The two Allen brothers are covertly burying their father. Why are they so secretive and what caused his demise?
Equally involving is the story of the McAllen family. Laura is a city bred woman who has been transplanted to a farm on the Mississippi Delta. Her back story with her future husband Henry, his father Pappy and his brother Jamie is compelling and the story only gets better as we meet the other characters in the story. Jamie's friendship with Ronsel Jackson, a black sharecropper, is based on their shared war experiences. Jamie has turned to alcohol for comfort and Ronsel is faced again with southern bigotry after having equality during his war service. Although they should not be friends in their circumstances, they find common ground.
Told in alternating chapters by Laura, Henry, Jamie, Ronsel, and his parents, Florence and Hap, the story of deep mindless prejudice and cruelty unfolds with a chilling inevitability. I could not choose which character's viewpoint was better. All were so fully formed and compelling. And the ending left me speechless…I did not see it coming. The writing is exceptional, the story always forceful.
Highly recommended for all readers. There is so much to discuss here and this would make an excellent choice for book groups.
The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta
Review by Donna Ballard
On October 14th, millions of people all over the world disappeared. One minute they were there and the next they were gone. If it was "The Rapture," many evangelists were disappointed to learn that they were still alive while agnostics, atheists, and Muslims were among the missing. Children had to cope without parents, friends were separated, and the survivors were left to try and sort out their emotions. Three years after this horrible event, the town of Mapleton held a parade commemorating "The Departed Heroes' Day of Remembrance and Reflection " to aid its residents in their quest to move on. The speeches were disrupted, however, by a demonstration by the Guilty Remnant, a group of white-robed, cigarette smoking devotees whose mission was to make everyone continue to grieve. As the townspeople of Mapleton spin out of control, they experiment with religous cults, and face painful truths as they try to manufacture some semblance of normality.
Tom Perrotta, noted for making suburbia represent the universe, has written the best 9/11 novel yet in The Leftovers, even though it technically does not deal with 9/11. Using "The Rapture" as a metaphor for the randomness of the attack on the World Trade Center, Perrotta makes the reader experience the plight of those who were left behind and are charged with the obligation to keep on living.
The Gap Year by Sarah Bird
Review by Donna Ballard
Cam Lightsey gave up her hippy chick counter-culture house in Sycamore Heights to raise her daughter in the staid, but educationally superior Parkhaven neighborhood. It was just one of the many sacrifices that she would make for Aubrey, but it was certainly worth it to know that her little girl would finally escape to college in a few days. Cam was all that Aubrey had for parents, as her father left the family to become a "Nextarian" (read Scientologist) when their daughter turned two. Still he managed to finagle a trust fund from the Nextarians that would at least cover her first year at a very good school, if only she would go to the bank with her mother to claim it.
Aubrey, a seventeen year old band geek was a good student, an obedient daughter, and a girl totally sick of her programmed boring life. Forced to march out on the hot field by her band teacher, she first faints then throws up on the school star quarterback. Miraculously they begin a friendly relationship that morphes into something else, radically changing her life and goals, much to her mother's dismay.
The Gap Year, by Sarah Bird, alternates between Cam and Aubrey's voices, each telling the same story with radically different views. Exploring the mother-daughter relationship with skill and compassion, Bird examines the pain of letting go and the struggles to find oneself and begin an independent life.
I must confess that Ms. Bird wrote one of my all-time favorite books, The Mommy Club, in the early nineties. The Gap Year has the same quirky romantic quality to it, combined with the poignancy of growing up, both on the child and the adult levels. This is a very satisfying read.

NORMAN — Meacham Auditorium on the University of Oklahoma campus erupted in applause and excited chatter at the end of Naomi Shihab Nye's keynote address Friday morning.
Norman Public Schools students from Longfellow Middle School quickly got in line to have copies of Nye's books signed by the author herself. Nye was the 2013 NSK Neustadt Prize for Children's Literature winner for her collections of poems, novel and books of essays for both young adults and adults.
The NSK Neustadt Prize for Children's Literature is a new award intended to enhance the quality of children's literature. The Prize was established by Nancy Barcelo, Susan Neustadt Schwartz and Kathy Neustadt. The essential criterion for this prize is that the winner's work has a positive impact on children's literature. The prize is intended to include all of literature written for children and could be given for work that is illustrated, juvenile, young adult, etc. There is no limitation to a particular age group or type of children's literature.
Nye has written and edited 33 books and was nominated for the NSK Prize by fellow writer Ibtisam Barakat. Nye was born in Missouri and grew up in San Antonio, Texas. Nye's father is Palestinian and her roots have guided some of her writing including, "Habibi," which has been translated into five languages.
"It was a really inspiring talk. Especially when she said she writes everything down and that she lived a lot of what she writes," Kristen Mcjunkins, an eighth-grader at Longfellow, said.
Longfellow students Meghan Bell and Rachel Farmer said they were really looking forward to reading more of Nye's work and other students said they were ready to put pen to paper and come up with poems and stories of their own.
"She (Nye) made me feel like I could write about anything from my life," Kristen Ngyen, an eighth-grader who is working on a greek mythology story, said.

Last week at L.A.'s Bordello Bar, an anime-themed burlesque show and cabaret took place. The performers of Devil's Playground are well known for their burlesque extravaganza at the Bordello Bar. Over the last 2 years, they attract many spectators with themed shows like the 'star wars burlesque.'
This January L.A.'s Bordello Bar was topping earlier events, with costumes inspired by famous anime characters from Pokemon, Speed Racer and Neon Genesis. This cosplay burlesque event displays a stunning synergy of these movements. Check out the gallery to see pics of the edgy coup at L.A.'s Bordello Bar.

Yesterday we reported on a story about New Moon director Chris Weitz publicly coming to the defense of a young woman who inadvertently taped a couple minutes of his movie in a theater — and was arrested on felony charges.
Weitz is apparently a pretty powerful guy, because the charges were dropped today. From the Hollywood Reporter:
Cook County prosecutors on Friday announced in court that they won't pursue charges against Samantha Tumpach.
Tumpach was arrested Nov. 28 in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont and faced a felony charge of illegally copying the film.
She had about three minutes of "New Moon" on her digital camera. Tumpach has said she was taping her sister's birthday party and wasn't trying to record the movie.
Glad this story has a happy ending!00Post a Comment

St. Vincent mural welcomes everyone
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
In an effort to remind the community of what their school stands for, the fine arts department at St. Vincent de Paul High School has painted a mural with a simple message: All are welcome.
The words, taken from the Catholic hymn "All Are Welcome in this Place," stretch across the Tillman Center building overlooking the courtyard in the middle of the St. Vincent campus, backed by a brightly-colored mural of a tree flanked by doves in front of painted stained-glass. The picture sits under a painted banner that begins "May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings, slow to make enemies, quick to make friends."
For graduating senior Marc Calabrese, who spent several weeks painting the mural during his art classes, lunch breaks and even on the weekends, the words explain his time at St. Vincent's perfectly.
"I've always felt like this is a safe place where I can be myself, and where everyone is welcome," said the 17-year-old Calabrese. "Every day there's someone new who comes up to me and tells me that they feel the same as I do — both students and teachers. It's great that (I've) been able to help get this message out there."
The mural's completion comes on the heels of Archbishop Robert Vasa issuing a requirement for all teachers under the Santa Rosa Diocese to sign a "morals" addendum last month. The document required all teachers to say they believe that things such as homosexual marriage, abortion, contraception and euthanasia are "modern errors" that "gravely offend human dignity." After hearing much public outcry and meeting with local pastors, Vasa reversed his decree and delayed his controversial edict for at least two years. During that time, the bishop said, he will be meeting with pastors and administrators to properly implement his decree with more input.
Principal John Walker said that the mural is not a response to the bishop's addendum and pointed out that the mural was underway before the morals requirement became public. "While we are very pleased with the bishop's decision, the events were unrelated," Walker said.
Walker said another reason for the mural is that next year St. Vincent must renew its school accreditation — a process which all schools must undergo to be certified educational institutions — and said that "mission exercises." such as the mural, which demonstrate the school's values, are a part of that process.
Almost all of the wide, flat pillars surrounding St. Vincent de Paul's courtyard are covered in student artwork. Through the years, graduating classes have left their particular messages for future high schoolers to see. But this is the first large-scale mural to adorn the walls of the courtyard.
Walker said that the entire school has truly gotten behind its message of acceptance and love.
"Those words express what we truly are," said Walker. "We're a safe haven. Our students are going to be secure and we are going to nurture them."
Father Gary Lombardi, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul's church in Petaluma, said this particular hymn is his favorite. "This is what the church is truly about," he said. "Jesus never made discriminations, and neither do we. Not only are we about educating our young people, we're about offering an environment of love. "
Arts teacher Amy Waud-Reiter said that when she and fellow arts teacher Marla Pederson began conceptualizing the mural, they were focused on creating something that would welcome the community and make a statement as to what the school was about. "Some of the teachers had gotten together and wanted to do something special," said Waud-Reiter. "We decided that a mural would be the way to go and that's how the project came about."
Waud-Reiter and Pederson drew the initial sketches of the mural over Spring Break and began seeking help from students like Calabrese when they returned from break.
"It was really about getting a positive message out to end the year and start next year with," said Pederson.

Image sequence denoising via sparse and redundant representations, submitted to the (2007)

author = {Matan Protter and Michael Elad},
title = {Image sequence denoising via sparse and redundant representations, submitted to the},
booktitle = {IEEE Trans. on Image Processing},
year = {2007}
Image sequences, such as old archive movies, webcam signals and TV broadcast, are often corrupted by additive noise that can be assumed white and Gaussian. Relative to single image denoising techniques, denoising of sequences aims to also utilize the temporal dimension. This assists in getting both faster algorithms and better output quality. This paper focuses on utilizing sparse and redundant representations for image sequence denoising, extending the work reported in [1, 2]. In the single image setting, the K-SVD algorithm is used to train a sparsifying dictionary for the corrupted image. This paper generalizes the above algorithm by offering several extensions: (i) the atoms used are three-dimensional; (ii) the dictionary is propagated from one frame to the next, reducing the number of required iterations; and (iii) averaging is done on patches in both spatial and temporal neighboring locations. These modifications lead to substantial benefits in complexity and denoising performance, compared to simply running the single image algorithm sequentially. The state-ofthe-art denoising performance exhibited by the proposed method does not rely at all on explicit motion estimation, which makes the overall algorithm simpler and clearer. 1

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
The Wildcats (21-10) finished fifth in the Big 12 and were bounced in their opening game of the conference tournament by Baylor. But two wins over Missouri and a road victory over the Bears in the regular season locked up their at-large bid.
The winner will likely face No. 1 seed Syracuse.
It's the third straight appearance for Kansas State under coach Frank Martin and the fourth in five seasons after taking over for Bob Huggins.
The Wildcats lost to Wisconsin in the third round last season and to eventual runner-up Butler in the 2010 regional finals.
