Al Woody's 6:20 Funny
Just Pull The Tooth
A man and his wife walked into a dentist's office. The man said to the dentist, "Doc, I'm in one heck of a hurry! I have three buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf. So forget about the anesthetic and just pull the tooth and be done with it. We have a 10:00 AM tee time at the best golf course in town and it's 9:30 already. I don't have time to wait for the anesthetic to work!"
The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is surely a very brave man asking to have his tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain." So the dentist ask him, "Which tooth is it sir?"
The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth Honey, and show him."
Cell Phone Joke
Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.
MAN: "Hello"
WOMAN: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"
MAN: "Yes"
WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"
MAN: "Sure, ....go ahead if you like it that much."
WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2004 models. I saw one I really liked."
MAN: "How much?"
MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing....the house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $950,000."
MAN: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer $900,000."
WOMAN: "OK. I! 'll see you later! I love you!"
MAN: "Bye, I love you, too."
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.
Then he asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?
Next Saturday
Don't forget to mark your calendar.
As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists.
Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort.
All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims, & to demonstrate they think it is okay to see nude women other than their wife, & to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American gov't appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists & applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
God bless America !
Another Blonde Joke
A blonde went to an eye doctor to have her eyes checked for glasses. The
doctor directed her to read various letters with the left eye while
covering the right eye.
The blonde was so mixed up on which eye was which that the eye doctor, in
disgust, took a paper lunch bag with a hole to see through, covered up the
appropriate eye and asked her to read the letters.
As he did so, he noticed the blonde had tears streaming down her face.
"Look," said the doctor, "there's no need to get emotional about getting
"I know," agreed the blonde, "But I kind of had my heart set on wire
The nice thing about being senile is You can hide you own Easter eggs.
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape,
so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down,
and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.

Liquid Viagra
Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage suitable for use as a mixer.
It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one! Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new meaning to the names of "cocktails", "highballs" and just a good old-fashioned "stiff drink".
Pepsi will market the new concoction by the name of: MOUNT & DO.
You can also used it in mixed drinks which means you can now "pour yourself a stiff one!"
Tick Warning!
Sometimes I am so gullible!
I hate it when people forward bogus warnings . . . but this one is
real, and it's important. So please send out this warning:
If someone comes to your front door saying they are conducting a
survey on ticks and asks you to take your clothes off and dance
around with your arms up,
DO NOT DO IT!! IT IS A SCAM; they only want to see you naked !
I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid and used now !!
Now That's A Cowboy
A young, good looking Cowboy walked into a drug store in Montana and asked to talk to a male pharmacist.
The woman he was talking to said that she was the only pharmacist and as she and her sister owned the store, there were no males employed there. She then asked if she could help him.
The cowpoke said that it was something that he would be much more comfortable discussing with a male pharmacist.
The female pharmacist assured him that she was completely professional and whatever it was that he needed to discuss, he could be confident that she would treat him with the highest level of professionalism.
The cowboy then agreed and began by saying, 'This is tough for me to discuss, but I have a permanent erection. It causes me a lot of problems and severe embarrassment, and I was wondering what you could give me for it.'
The pharmacist said, 'Just a minute, I'll talk to my sister.' When she returned, she said, We discussed it at length and the absolute best we can do is as follows:
1/3 ownership in the store,
A company pickup truck, and
$3,000 a month living expenses.
Help Wanted
One day, a sign appeared in an office window. It read: "Help wanted. Must type 70 words a minute. Must be computer literate. Must be bilingual. An equal opportunity employer." A Maltese dog ambling down the street saw the sign, walked in, and applied for the job.
The office manager said, "I can't hire a dog for this job." The Maltese pointed to the line: "An equal opportunity employer." So the manager said, "Okay, take this letter and type it." The Maltese went off to the typewriter and returned a minute later with the finished letter, perfectly typed.
The manager, looking to stump the Maltese, said: "Here is a problem. Write a computer program for it and run it." Fifteen minutes later, the Maltese came back with the correct answer. The manager still wasn't convinced. "I can't hire a dog for this position," he said. "You've got to be bilingual." The Maltese looked up at the manager and said, "Meow."
Horse Tradin'
Little Johnny attended a horse auction with his father. He watched as his father moved from horse to horse, running his hands up and down the horse's legs and rump and chest.
After a few minutes, Johnny asked, 'Dad, why are you doing that?'
His father replied, 'Because when I'm buying horses, I have to make sure that they are healthy and in good shape before I buy.
Johnny, looking worried, said, 'Dad, I think the UPS guy wants to buy Mom.'

The history of New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) as a teaching institution proceeds from its earliest days, as its original charter gave physicians from every county in New York State the "right to witness and practice surgery" at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary. Formal lectures on diseases of the eye began in 1823, and the residency program was organized in 1862. The quality of this program is witnessed by the long list of illustrious ophthalmologists who received their residency training at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.
The ophthalmology residency at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary offers an exceptionally balanced program wherein a highly active clinical three-year training program is combined with academic teaching. Residents enjoy the broad clinical experience that only a specialty hospital can offer. A large clinical faculty and strong representation by all subspecialty facets of ophthalmology in the training program ensure that the resident graduates as a well-rounded ophthalmologist with superb clinical and surgical experience.
New York Eye and Ear Infirmary sees approximately 142,000 outpatients and performs over 20,000 surgical procedures annually. All outpatients are managed by resident staff with close supervision by the faculty in both the clinic and the operating room. The clinical exposure is complemented by a coordinated program of didactic instruction in the Basic and Clinical Sciences.
Basic science teaching begins at the first year level with participation in the Greater New York Basic Science Course from July through September and is supplemented for each of the two years thereafter with basic science lectures and seminars. This course continues through the remainder of each year as a clinical lecture series at which resident attendance is expected.
The goal of the teaching curriculum is to integrate the core material contained in the American Academy of Ophthalmology Home Study Course into a program which offers the resident a comprehensive education in every facet of clinical ophthalmology. All residents are provided with, and are expected to complete, the most recent version of the Home Study Course during their residency.
The Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program (OKAP) examination is given each year in the spring to allow residents and faculty an opportunity to gauge resident learning. In addition to the basic and clinical science education, a comprehensive program of surgical skills courses is provided on-site at appropriate stages during training to allow development of skills required in the operating room. The surgical laboratory is available to all residents for group courses as well as individual practice sessions.
Active research in basic and clinical and visual science is conducted in permanent laboratories at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary and on the main campus of its major affiliate, New York Medical College. This relationship has enabled New York Eye and Ear Infirmary to expand research activities into otherwise impossible arenas. We receive support for research through various National Institutes of Health grants and private funding. Glaucoma, laser technology, computer science and bioengineering, ocular imaging, retinal physiology, and cornea represent major areas of research at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine provides outstanding support for resident and attending-based projects. Residents are expected to take part in research projects while at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and an annual Resident's Day allows presentation of this work. Residents are encouraged to publish their work and present it at major meetings.
Daily teaching conferences are held at 7:30 AM, including Grand Rounds every Friday. These conferences involve both formal lectures and interactive teaching conferences in the various subspecialties involving discussion of clinical material. The Visiting Professor Lecture Series allows exposure to lecturers of national and international reputation.

Buying Time Warner Cable would add to a Comcast media and cable empire that already runs the gamut from "Saturday Night Live" to Universal Studios theme parks.
A look at Comcast's holdings:
The division touts itself as the nation's largest provider of video, high-speed Internet and telephone services to residential customers under the XFINITY brand. It also provides similar services to businesses and sells advertising.
As of Dec. 31, the company had 53.1 million video, high-speed Internet and phone service customers, representing a 3 percent increase over the same day the year before.
The company said Thursday that it currently has 22 million pay TV subscribers, but plans to divest 3 million of them once the deal for Time Warner Cable Inc. closes. With the addition of Time Warner Cable's 11.2 million subscribers, the combined entity will end up with about 30 million.
The division includes a broadcast arm, more than a dozen cable networks, digital, film and other businesses.
— BROADCAST — Founded in 1926, NBC was the first U.S. national broadcast network. It now provides national and local programing through more than 200 affiliated stations.
Broadcast businesses include:
NBC Entertainment — Develops and schedules programming for the network's prime time, late-night, and daytime schedules. Popular shows include "Parks and Recreation," ''Community," ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," ''The Voice" and 'The Biggest Loser."
NBC News — Produces more than 30 hours of TV news programming, including "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams," ''Today," and "Meet the Press." Its holdings also include NBC News Radio, a network of over 750 affiliates, and the in-house production company Peacock Productions.
NBC Sports Group — Includes NBC Sports, NBC Sports Network, Golf Channel, NBC Olympics, 11 regional sports networks, two regional news networks, NBC Sports Radio and NBCSports.com.
Telemundo — Produces and distributes Spanish-language content for the U.S. and overseas.
— CABLE — Some of the company's best-known networks include Bravo Media, Comcast Sportsnet, Golf Channel, Sprout, Universal HD, E!, MSNBC, Syfy, USA Network, The Weather Channel Cos., CNBC and Oxygen Media.
— DIGITAL — Assets include online video service Hulu, women's online content provider DailyCandy, NBC News Digital, online movie ticket seller Fandango, website GolfNow, and TV website TelevisionWithoutPity.com.

Recent releases include "Bruce Almighty," ''The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up." Its well-known franchises include the "Jurassic Park," ''Back to the Future" and "Fast and Furious" movies.
The company's film business also includes specialty movie studio Focus Features and marketing and distributing arm Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
— PARKS AND RESORTS — Theme parks in Florida and California.

The Northland's best music of 2010 (a mix tape)
Budgeteer editor Matthew R. Perrine introduces you to his favorite local music from the last year — in mix tape form — from heavy hitters like Cloud Cult and Trampled by Turtles to promising upstarts like Modern Gentlemen and Excuse Me, Princess.
It's a good thing Duluth is so accustomed to sharing its many treasures. A number of area musicians watched as their audiences expanded from coast to coast: Retribution Gospel Choir released its second album on Seattle's legendary Sub Pop label. Trampled by Turtles and Charlie Parr both benefited from nationwide distribution deals. And Cloud Cult? Why, it's hard to write something about Craig Minowa and company that hasn't already been meticulously "tweeted" by some hipper-than-thou New York City blogger.
Quality-wise, it was also a banner year for the local scene, and I'd like to share the best of what I heard.
But instead of just rattling off the best albums that came out of the area in the last 12 months, I thought I'd try something different: I put together a virtual "mix tape" using the best songs to come out of our area's furtive music scene — because, let's face it, not every worthwhile act that calls the Northland home releases albums. Some are content just to play live, or share a song or two here or there. (Or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, there's Lion or Gazelle, which released a full five EPs in the last calendar year.)
On that, if I've still managed to snub any of your favorites utilizing this approach, just remember: This is all one jerk's opinion. Besides, you can always find out what other "jerks" are listening to by reading "What the Mayor and Other Northlanders Liked in 2010."
1. Trampled by Turtles - "Wait So Long"
I never thought I'd say this about anything with a banjo involved, but this is some pretty exciting stuff. The leadoff track from TBT's phenomenal "Palomino" has enough raw power to rival most punk bands.
2. Retribution Gospel Choir - "Workin' Hard"
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one in the Twin Ports who still breaks out his Bachman-Turner Overdrive records from time to time. It's hard to say how old-school Low fans react to Alan Sparhawk's adventures in '70s radio rock on the Sub Pop-released "2," but I know I sure like what I hear.
3. James Moors - "Once in a While"
Established Superior singer/songwriter James Moors (who used to record under "Sterling Waters") wrote this "Skyline" track with Aussie Rick Price, whom he described as "Australia's version of Richard Marx." The two met in Memphis during a recent Folk Alliance International conference.
4. Marc Gartband - "Cyclops Man"
Not only was it another banner year for the local music scene, but it was also another banner year for Marc Gartman. His must-hear contributions this year included new albums from Coyote, Two Many Banjos and Night Owl; ultimately, however, I felt Marc Gartband's "Fatwa" was the most daring and innovative of the lot. "Cyclops Man" is just one of many Gartman-penned 2010 highlights.
5. Batteries - "Dirty Dogs"
Indie rock doesn't get much catchier than this standout track from Batteries' sophomore effort, "You're So Excited" — which, by the way, frontman Dave Frankenfeld informed the Budgeteer is a disparaging term for that other great Hibbing export: Greyhound buses.
6. The Boomchucks - "Another One"
Speaking of catchy — and recycling material… — roughneck folk (a term actually coined by Duluth Mayor Don Ness) doesn't get much catchier than this inebriated sing-along from Brad Nelson and Jamie Ness' first, self-titled album together as the Boomchucks.
7. Charlie Parr - "I Dreamed I Saw Jesse James Last Night"
Sometimes we can take for granted the greatest wonders around us. I was reminded of this during a recent interview with the Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank's Ian Thomas Alexy, who was reflecting on his time as a Zenith City resident: "That was a great time in Duluth. You could see Charlie Parr five nights a week without ever leaving Duluth!"
Just because he plays a free show at the Brewhouse every week doesn't mean we should be paying any less attention. (This track was taken from "When the Devil Goes Blind," one of Parr's three 2010 releases.)
8. Cloud Cult - "You'll Be Bright"
Similarly, even though it's easy to say, "Oh, I'll just catch Cloud Cult when they return in a few months," there is something none of us should neglect to acknowledge: Craig Minowa and his talented worker bees (I mean no disrespect, Connie, Shannon, both Sarahs, Scott, Shawn and Arlen) continue to make some of the most phenomenal music on the planet. "Light Chasers" is a great record. Period.
1. Saint Anyway - "I'll Never Be the Same"
Tony Petersen wrote this refreshing ditty for "Two" in the back of the duo's crumbling-apart tour van while the other Cloquet expat in the group, Jamie Kallestad, got some coffee. Fans of Trampled by Turtles should pay attention to this one.
2. Pennies for a Dime - "Iron Path"
While it's true that this slab o' dirty Northern blues made the Budgeteer's year-end list of best local music a few years back (as a rough demo), it deserves a second helping of recognition because the power trio of Dustin Fennessey, Mikey Trifilette and Faye Baron finally put out an official release this year: "Welcome to the RedRoom."
3. The Virgin Marcus - "Refuge"
The Virgin Marcus is the definition of generous.
Not only did he put out two albums this year (something his fans have been waiting some time for), but he is currently giving both of them away at http://thevirginmarcus.bandcamp.com. This emotional masterwork comes from "With Endless Love, We Left You Sleeping," which has a title and front cover (think "Psycho" meets "Wild Things") that the kiddies at Hot Topic would surely eat up. Just saying…
4. Modern Gentlemen - "Cooler than Me"
Speaking of Bandcamp, rappers David "Bliss" Kittelson and Cory "MC1980" Jezierski gave away one of their two 2010 releases ("A Gentleman's Guide to Mixing Tapes") at http://moderngentlemen.bandcamp.com. While the official release, "A Gentleman's Guide to Dangerous Living," contained a number of noteworthy tracks and collaborations with other artists, this song just seems like the perfect introduction to this entertaining rap duo.
5. Excuse Me, Princess - "Stop the Flow"
This group is definitely my pick for Duluth's next big musical export. Singer Jack Campbell sounds like a cross between Norway native Sondre Lerche and Salt Lake City great Drew Danburry, and the imaginative songs he conjures up with EMP work wonders — despite the fact that the group's 2010 full-length ("The Sun & The Moon") wasn't exactly recorded at Sacred Heart with Eric Swanson (more like in a basement with no one behind the boards). And, good news, checking them out won't cost you a dime: Both of the group's 2010 releases can be downloaded for free at http://excusemeprincess.bandcamp.com.
6. The Tisdales - "Scenester Bingo"
I hate to rip off what Cars & Trucks frontman Tony Bennett said in "What the Mayor and Other Northlanders Liked in 2010," but: Shame on you, America, for not buying at least 2 million copies of "Out with the New." The album, an impeccable collection of good ol' rock 'n' roll deserves nothing less than "double platinum" status.
7. Ryan Van Slooten - "Working Man's World"
The Twin Ports has enjoyed the talents of Ryan Van Slooten via outfits like Bone Appétit, the SuperTacks and Rock Brigade, but his solo offerings — in the singer/songwriter vein — are just as worthwhile. And, like he told us when "All But My Soul" was released, "Doing the rock thing is great, but my solo material is far more personal, and a better representation of who I am."
8. The Brushstrokes - "Haggard Whore"
While the Brushstrokes' debut, "This is How the World Will End," took approximately three years (and a couple of band breakups) to complete, it was more than worth the wait. This track, which I've always been fond of, is a gypsy-rock romp of "Carnivàle"-level proportions.
BONUS TRACK: Dirty Horse - "Buy Me an Airplane"
We'll just call "Buy Me an Airplane" something to look forward to. This track from the "Tartan" EP — which sports a 2011 release date — is simply monumental. Duluth finally has its own Manchester Orchestra!

common name: southern wood cricket
scientific name: Gryllus fultoni (Alexander) (Insecta: Orthoptera: Gryllidae)
Introduction - Distribution - Identification - Life Cycle - Habitat - Song - Selected References
Introduction (Back to Top)
The southern wood cricket, Gryllus fultoni (Alexander), is actually a field cricket even though it lives in the woods. However, a more precise nomenclature, say, 'southern woodland field cricket' would be too long and self-contradictory for a useful common name.
Other Florida field and house crickets
Distribution (Back to Top)
This species occurs throughout southeastern US except in south peninsular Florida.
Figure 1. U.S. Distribution of the southern wood cricket, Gryllus fultoni.
Identification (Back to Top)
In the southern wood cricket, the color pattern of the forewings lacks the well defined longitudinal stripe of the southeastern field cricket and the well-defined light veins and crossveins of the sand field cricket. The forewings are not as short and usually not as dark as in the taciturn wood cricket. The stridulatory file has more widely spaced teeth than in the sand field cricket and the taciturn wood cricket. The ovipositor is less than 1.2 times the length of the hind femur. Long-winged individuals are not known from the field, but they occur occasionally in laboratory cultures.

Figure 3. Adult female southern wood cricket, Gryllus fultoni (Alexander). Photograph by Paul M. Choate, University of Florida.
Life Cycle (Back to Top)
The southern wood cricket overwinters as a mid-sized juvenile and matures in spring. In Florida, some of the progeny of spring adults overwinter as juveniles and others mature in late summer and may produce additional overwintering juveniles. Farther north, this partial second generation is lacking.
Habitat (Back to Top)
Found in upland pine, turkey oak, moist to dry broadleaf forest.
Song (Back to Top)
The calling song (672 Kb wav file) is a series of fast-pulsed chirps, with a chirp rate of about two per second. Most chirps have three pulses, with the initial one being somewhat weaker than the rest (graphs).

ISTANBUL, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Turkish shares fell on Monday, led by a decline in Turkcell shares, while bonds and the lira were little changed ahead of a teleconference by Moody's to discuss Turkey's credit rating.
The main Istanbul share index dropped 1.16 percent to 83,800.11 points, underperforming a fall of 0.44 percent in the global emerging markets index. The market hit its highest ever level on Thursday.
The fall was driven by a fall of 0.83 percent in Turkey's largest mobile phone operator Turkcell to 11.90 lira, after a top British appeals court said it may give its final verdict on the dispute between Turkey's Cukurova Holding and its Russian partner in mobile phone company Turkcell on Wednesday.
Investors eyed rating agency Moody's teleconference to discuss Turkey 'shifting closer' to investment grade, which will be held at 1500 GMT. It rates Turkey just below investment grade at Ba1.
'In our view, rating agencies will have a window of opportunity to upgrade Turkey until 1Q 2013, after which the current account deficit will start increasing as a percentage of GDP as well,' said Finansbank analyst Deniz Cicek in a note.
'So, if we do not see a rating upgrade by Moody's by the end of 1st quarter, we think chances of Turkey reaching a second investment grade this year will diminish.'
Turkey is hoping another major ratings agency will lift it to investment grade, after Fitch did so last November. A second upgrade would enable Turkey to join benchmark investment grade bond indexes, a status that many funds require before investing.
The yield on the two-year benchmark bond inched up at 5.91 percent, from Friday's close at 5.88 percent.
By 0939 GMT, the lira was at flat 1.7698 to the dollar. Against its euro-dollar basket it slightly eased to 2.0751, from to 2.0742.

Review: MacDropAny syncs folders for backup via online cloud-based services
MacDropAny for Mac enables users with cloud-based backup drives to automatically update them. It is an easy-to-use program that performs well and works with most of the major cloud services.
As cloud-based backup begins to replace physical media like CDs, DVDs, or memory keys, programs to work with online storage are becoming more common. MacDropAny for Mac is free and installation is easy. At first startup, the program immediately initiates a menu where the user can select the folder from which to sync.

Estimates Of Sequestration In AlabamaThe white house released some new numbers on what sequestration means for each state -- and Alabama is likely taking some of the hardest hits. It's the war of words over sequestration, which could lead to $85 billion dollars in automatic spending cuts. These are big budget cuts that could take effect as of March 1 -- numbers that paint a grim picture for Alabama. "We're concerned about it, you know, everybody hopes that in the end at the eleventh hour these two sides will come together and come up with some kind of compromise," Said Greenville Police Chief, Lonzo Ingram. If the cuts go through on Friday, law enforcement stands to get hit. The White House says local agencies would lose $230,000 worth of federal grants. "It can affect everything from courts and prosecutions, to crime, victim's compensation... all these things. It could affect corrections [and] almost any program that gets federal funds could be affected by this," Said Ingram. Head Start programs, which provide educational services to low-income children and their families, would also be cut for about 1,100 children in the state.Nutrition assistance for seniors are also on the chopping block. $865,000 in funds that provide meals for seniors could be lost. "The income that they get now, some of them can't afford a lot and that's like 800 and something thousand people that would not get a meal," Said Greenville senior center manager, Cathy Brown. These cuts will go into affect if President Obama and Congress can't agree on another plan to help balance the budget. Other areas that would be impacted by sequestration (estimates according to the White House): Job-search assistance: Alabama will lose about $472,000 in funding for job search assistance, referral, and placement, affecting about 16,600 people. Public Health: Alabama will lose about $457,000 in funds to help upgrade its ability to respond to public health threats. Another $1.18 million in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse will be lost, which means around 1,600 fewer admissions to substance abuse programs. HIV testing will also be affected losing $165,000, estimating 4,100 fewer HIV tests. Work study jobs: Around 940 fewer low income students in Alabama would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college; 280 fewer students will get work-study jobs that help them pay for college. Military readiness: Approximately 27,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $176.9 million in total. Army: Base operation funding would be cut by about $91 million in Alabama. Air Force: Funding for Air Force operations in Alabama would be cut by about $8 million. Child care: Up to 500 disadvantaged children could lose access to child care. STOP Violence Against Women Program: $102,000 in funds will be cut that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 400 fewer victims being served. Vaccines for children: About 2,110 fewer children will receive vaccines for diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza, and Hepatitis B due to reduced funding for vaccinations of about $144,000. Teachers and schools: Alabama will lose approximately $11 million in funding for primary and secondary education, and another $9 million for special education funds. About 21,000 fewer students would be served. About 40 fewer schools would receive funding. This will put about 260 teacher, aide and staff jobs at risk. Funding for clean air and water: Alabama would lose about $2 million in clean water and air quality funding and another $1 million in grants for fish and wildlife protection. |

Aug 15, 2013W Hotel at the Times Square is a trendy and fun place – the waterfall wall that you see before you even get to the hotel lobby is a prelude of what you are about to experience. The lobby bar area is a great place to get together with your friends even if you are not staying at the hotel, though it could get crowded. I like the openness and modern design of the common areas. Your room will have a modern and slick design as well, hopefully it will feature a great view (if you are on a high enough floor) and more likely a bathroom with an open shower. And of course, it has a luxurious feather bed – you don't want to get out of it in the morning even if it's almost noon! I really like staying here during our weekend trips to New York. The hotel is centrally located to main attractions – right at the Times Square and the Theater District, in walking distance from Central Park, Rockefeller Center, 5th Avenue, MOMA.

Aug 06, 2013While the W in Times Square is not my idea of the best location, it serves a great purpose for business travelers that are looking for good business rates. This hotel is also really convenient to different transportation options that makes it ideal for business trips.

The minimal lighting and loud music may not be the taste of those who prefer hotels to be more traditional, however one can't feel totally cool staying in such a location with this brand.
W definitely crafted an experience - highlights include ipod dock in room, huge umbrellas to borrow on exit, placemat in lift depending on time of day, and the whatever/whenever ideal of the concierge to name 4.
Only one complaint - the bathroom is separated from the room by misted glass. Problem is just that it's not misted enough... A feature I just can't fathom the reasoning behind!

This hotel is in the heart of Times Square. This is one of my favorite hotels in the Times Square area. It is very trendy and modern. I use to stay here for cheap by using Hotwire. Times Square is central to everything so this is a perfect hotel to stay at if you plan on visiting the city.

Aug 14, 2012the W Time Square is definitely THE most happening, party vibe W in NYC if not the world! It is "loud" by the surrounding neon lights, it is almost always filled with people at the lobby/bar area. The rooms are reasonably sized for NYC and everything else about it (whatever, whenever) is consistent with the W brand. Location is great and right in the center of lights (I mean life, day or night)!

I Love New York. It is the one city that is so diverse. Everyday you can find something to do for free if you know where to look . Central Park offers so many neat things. I don't know another city park that has a zoo in it !!! New York City Rocks !

In general, I love the W or the Westin chain of hotels and having had a wonderful time at the Westin Time Square, I expected this to be no different.
Of course, I'm always weary when the hotel structure is not exactly like grand lobby on the first floor, bar, maybe some nice ceiling lights, etc. But in New York this is almost never the case so no complaints.
I love the W decor, the lighting, the mood that it tries to set as it pulls apart from other hotels with consistent modern flare and an elevated sense of "cool".
The rooms are small, especially if you want to book cheaply, however, I have stayed in a 250 sq ft so this was at least an upgrade. The location is self explanatory, you can't go wrong here unless you want to avoid the tourists. But even then, it's so close to the subway station and a few stops and you will be in the heart of SoHo or Upper East Side. Highly recommended, and of course the beds are heavenly!
Recreational amenities include a fitness facility. The W here is renowned for its concierge service, which will plan your NYC trip to suit all of your needs. The R Lounge is also a popular spot to hang out and the ideal location to party and watch the ball drop on New Year's Ever- Bruno Mars performed there last year! This 4.0 star property has a business center and offers small meeting rooms, limo/town car service, and business services. Wireless and wired high speed Internet access is available in public areas (surcharges may apply). This New York property has event space consisting of banquet facilities, conference/meeting rooms, and a ballroom. Room service is available 24 hours a day. Guest parking is available for a surcharge. Wedding services and tour/ticket assistance are available. Additional property amenities include a bar/lounge, valet parking, and a concierge desk.

Flat screen televisions have cable channels, DVD players, and pay-per-view movies. Air conditioned rooms also include desks, minibars, blackout drapes/curtains, and electronic check out.

40 Years of Meridian
2011 witnessed the 40th anniversary of the founding of English manufacturer Meridian and the partnership between electronics engineer Bob Stuart and industrial designer Allen Boothroyd. To celebrate Stuart and Boothroyd created anniversary editions of the DSP-8000 active speaker and 808 Signature Reference CD Player, of which only 40 of each model will be made. Bob Stuart looks suitably proud of the models, which are finished in exclusive "Ruby" finish—not available on other products in the range—even the drivers are treated with a new, polished bezel. Each system is signed by Stuart and Boothroyd, comes with a book illustrating Meridian's history, and will be set-up in the customer's home by a Meridian engineer.

'Wich of the Week: Shrimp Rémoulade Po'Boy
'Wich of the Week: Shrimp Rémoulade Po'Boy
I love a good leftover sandwich, so after whipping up shrimp rémoulade the other night, I made sure to save some shrimp and sauce for a second dinner, sandwiched inside a crispy, sweet baguette. The flavor of the rich, robust rémoulade against the flaky French bread and cool, fresh shrimp was so yummy I wish I'd made sandwiches the first time around, rather than just serving the baguette on the side.
The recipe is equally easy as a from-scratch sandwich or a leftover reinvention. As with the rémoulade recipe, you can make the sauce a day in advance and let the taste intensify over time. Though I used butter lettuce, you could also dress it with shredded iceberg or romaine. The most important thing is finding a perfectly fresh baguette (or freshening up the bread you bought the day before). To get the recipe, read more.
