It's always been my favourite perfume, and I think it all depends on the person. My mother tried it and it somehow didn't "fit" her, and the same went for her perfume on me. I'm a true Cindy Crawford girl, and I don't think I'll ever change the perfume for another

Volunteer leaders attend Habitat for Humanity Global Village & Youth Leadership Conference
AMERICUS, Georgia (Oct. 16, 2009) – More than 300 Habitat for Humanity team leaders for short-term volunteer trips and youth leaders will gather in Chicago for Habitat for Humanity International's Global Village & Youth Leadership Conference 2009. During the Oct. 16–18 conference, the volunteer leaders will share best practices and celebrate their accomplishments in helping families secure safe, decent and affordable housing.
Jonathan Reckford, HFHI's chief executive officer, will deliver the keynote address to conference attendees. The volunteer leaders will attend a variety of workshops designed to help them with their building, fundraising, education and advocacy initiatives in the coming year.

Habitat's youth leaders are students who help guide their peers, ages 5 to 25, in Habitat's work to eliminate poverty housing. Habitat's Global Village team members work alongside members of a host community to help build houses for one- or two-week service trips.
Several of the volunteer leaders and the groups they represent will be recognized for their work during a celebration dinner hosted by Habitat for Humanity International and State Farm®, the national corporate sponsor of Habitat for Humanity International's youth programs and underwriter of the Global Village & Youth Leadership Conference 2009.

One of the great things about water, is you can do things in a pool you can't do on land especially if you are facing some health constraints. Nancy Naeve Brown went to Aberdeen to see how a man with multiple sclerosis is finding relief with warm water therapy at Avera St. Luke's.
Jesse Luce lives for his time in the warm water therapy pool at the Avera St. Luke's Physical and Aquatic Center in Aberdeen. For most of his adult life, Jesse has been a firefighter and EMT, but since he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998 the disease has slowly taken away this mobility and his ability to do what he loves to do most fight fires and save lives.
Jesse says, "My left foot I have no idea where it is. I have no sensation. I can't feel if I lift it. If I'm dragging it I can feel it in my hips so that's how I know it's moving."
He started using a power wheel chair a little over a year ago and added physical therapy here with Michelle Johnson. The pool does have a lift so people like Jesse can get in and out and into their wheelchair on their own.
Avera St. Luke's Physical Therapist Michelle Johnson says, "The warm water pool is very good for someone with MS because of the buoyancy. A lot of patients are unable to walk so being able to get them upright on their feet can help strengthen them, get them out of the same position they are in all day. It helps work with muscle control, posture, balance through trunk and core".
Jesse says, "There's just so many things, Michelle's been wonderful with different exercises and cracking the whip all the time."
Michelle says, "He's doing stuff he never though he'd do again and he's doing it now and doing it well. I had 24 visits with him one on one. Now he is able to do his own program I don't have to help him. He never thought he would snorkel again especially in Aberdeen."
He is also able to get up some steps to visit his brother which is no easy feat when you can't feel your feet and have little to no sensation on the left side of your body.
Jesse says, "My brother lives in an assisted living center and you have to go up 3 steps to get in. And I can do it now. I go to have coffee with him. That was my goal of getting in there to see him. He has a hard time getting out and I have a hard time getting in".
In the water, Jesse has no limitations.
Jesse says, "It's tremendous, just tremendous. If it didn't do anything at all, and I'm sure it is, but if it did nothing at all for my body, it is doing a wonder for my brain. To be able to stand up and I call it walking but it's floating across the in a vertical manner, that's helped my mental attitude a lot."
Warm water therapy 3 times a week has proven to be good for Jesse's body, good for his psyche and for a good guy who's devoted his life to serving others, this is so good to hear.

SORRENTO, Fla. - Florida Fish and Wildlife officials say a central Florida man lied about being attacked by a bear in his yard and actually sustained his injuries from falling while chasing the bear.
According to the Lake County Sheriff's Office, Josh Hennessey was treated at a hospital for minor injuries after the "attack" Thursday night outside his Sorrento mobile home.
Hennessey told officials he was sitting on his porch when he heard rustling in some nearby bushes. He said that when he went to investigate, the bear jumped out and attacked him. He says the bear bit him and tried to drag him into the street.
Hennessey told officials he was able to fend off the bear.
FWC says Hennessey was not actually attacked by the bear and that he suffered cuts and scrapes to his elbow, knee and hand due to falling while he chased after the bear.

The worst part was how bad the ship smelled of smoke, beware if you are not a smoker this ship is NOT for you.I became sick on the ship after the first night from all the smoke, I asked for a pitcher of water for my cabin and was told you must order from room service.
All food was served many different times until it all started to taste the same. No juice or ice tea available like on every other cruise ship I have ever been on.Could not even get coffee and tea except at certain times. Room service was charged each time it is used. This was not a cheap cruise and we expected much more than we received. Even the shows were poor quality.
Oh and when you book a tour plan on being taken to some side excursion were they want you to shop. We were taken to a rug factory and spent more time there then on the excursion. We could not wait to get off this ship!
After just returning from the Celebrity Summit which was fantastic what a disappointment this Cruise was!

It's Women's History Month, and who better to celebrate it with than Dolores Huerta.
It's Women's History Month, and who better to celebrate it with than Dolores Huerta.
"When I think of Dolores Huerta," playwright and filmmaker Luis Valdez said, "I think of Earth. Powerful, beautiful, fecund, challenging, conscious, yet so incredibly delicate."
She's been all of that in a remarkable career that has spanned more than a half-century. Huerta, now 77, is probably best known for her work with Cesar Chavez in the founding and operations of the United Farm Workers union. But that's been just a part of her lifelong and extraordinarily successful and courageous fight for economic and social justice.
Huerta, five-foot-two, 110 pounds, hardly looks the part. What's more, she's had 11 children to raise along the way, much of the time as a single mother.
She's traveled the country, speaking out and joining demonstrations in behalf of a wide variety of causes. She's lobbied legislators to win important gains for Latino immigrants and others. She was a leader in the worldwide grape boycott that forced growers to agree in 1970 to some of the country's very first farm union contracts — which she negotiated despite her utter lack of experience in negotiating. She remains a leading
Huerta started out as an elementary school teacher in
Chavez, who was general director of the 22-chapter CSO, stressed "grass roots organizing with a vengeance" above all. Huerta agreed and generally agreed as well on tactics – including an unwavering commitment to non-violence. But where Chavez was shy, she was bold and outspoken. She had to be if she was to assume the leadership to which her commitment had drawn her. Mexican-American men did not easily grant leadership to women, most certainly not to diminutive, attractive women like Huerta.
She was assigned to the State Capitol in
Huerta soon realized, however, that legislation "could not solve the real problems" of the poor she represented. What they needed was not government aid passed down from above to try to ease their poverty, but some way to escape the poverty. The way out, Huerta concluded, was farm labor organizing.
Chavez agreed, and in 1962, when the other CSO leaders and members rejected his plans for organizing farm workers, he quit to start organizing on his own. Huerta soon followed, helping create the organizations that evolved into the United Farm Workers (UFW), with Chavez as president and Huerta as vice president and chief negotiator, later as secretary-treasurer. She, like Chavez, was paid but $5 a week plus essential expenses.
Chavez quarreled frequently with Huerta. That was inevitable, given Huerta's excitable temperament and the harsh discipline Chavez imposed on himself and his close associates. But they were always headed in the same direction, and though Chavez was not entirely immune to the Mexican ideal of male supremacy, he was not the traditional macho leader by any means, and he marveled at Huerta for being "physically, spiritually and psychologically fearless – absolutely."
Like Chavez, she believed fervently in getting people to organize themselves, to get them to set their own goals and decide for themselves how to reach them. Huerta directed the message particularly to the many women among the farm workers.
She joined their picket lines outside struck fields, defying growers, sheriff's deputies and other sometimes violent opponents. As one picket said, "Dolores was our example of something different. We could see one of our leaders was a woman, and she was always out in front, and she would talk back."
Huerta has paid a heavy physical price for her militance. She nearly died in 1988 after being clubbed by a policeman while demonstrating with about 1,000 others outside a fundraiser for former President George H.W. Bush, who had ridiculed the UFW and its grape boycott. Huerta's spleen was ruptured and had to be removed, leading to a near-fatal loss of blood.
She was operated on for other serious problems in 2000. She stepped down as a UFW officer that year to join Democrat Al Gore's presidential campaign, but has remained active in UFW and Democratic Party affairs, most recently lobbying for immigrant rights, helping train a new generation of organizers and joining campaigns to improve the lot of janitors, nursing home employees and other highly exploited workers.
Dolores Huerta has shown us, beyond doubt, that injustice can be overcome if we confront it forcefully, if we heed the demand she has been known to shout in urging passers-by to join UFW picket lines: "Don't be a marshmallow! Stop being vegetables! Work for justice!"

RALEIGH — Mark Gottfried spent his first 18 months on the job trying to mute expectations for N.C. State's basketball program.
The brakes the second-year coach usually pumps fell right off the bandwagon Friday night at "Primetime with the Pack."
Gottfried made a grand entrance into the Wolfpack's not-quite Midnight Madness when he zip-lined down from the second level of the PNC Arena to court with the theme from "Superman" playing in the background.
Gottfried landed safely on the court and addressed the crowd of 10,257.
"Our goal is real simple, we're going to work extremely hard every day because we want to play on Monday night in April," Gottfried said. "That's the goal."
There's only one game scheduled in the NCAA tournament on a Monday night and that's the championship game.
The Wolfpack reached the Sweet 16 last season, Gottfried's first in Raleigh. With four starters back from a 24-win team, and three new McDonald's All-Americans, expectations are clearly through the roof for the Wolfpack this season.
The Red team, led by guard Lorenzo Brown and forward C.J. Leslie, officially won the Red-White scrimmage, 42-35.
Brown, the junior point guard, showed no ill affects from minro offseason knee surgery. He threw three alley-oops, one to Rodney Purvis and another to Leslie, and caught and dunked two of his own. Brown finished with 14 points and six assists. Leslie led all scorers with 16 points.
Leslie played with more aggression, Brown said, a trait he expects to see more out of the star forward this season.
"He's going to be a lot better this year," Brown said. "People better watch out for him."
Senior guard Scott Wood, who won the 3-point contest before the scrimmage, fittingly opened the game with a 3-pointer but the White team couldn't keep up with Brown or Leslie.
Sophomore forward Thomas de Thaey, who will be given an opportunity to play more minutes off the bench, led the White team with 10 points and made two 3-pointers. Freshman forward T.J. Warren also scored 10 points and showed an efficiency in doing so, making four of his five shots.
Purvis, who has already been through in ordeal with the NCAA to be cleared academically, showed some athleticism and an ability to get to the basket. Purvis scored seven points and had two assists.
Freshman point guard Tyler Lewis got a bad draw, playing on the White team, so he had to defend Brown and he didn't have the ability to set up Leslie or Purvis. Lewis finished with six points and three assists.
The scrimmage was cut short 3 and a half minutes short when Wood's grandfather was taken off the court on a stretcher. Wood left the game, and the court, in tears with his father but the grandfather's condition wasn't serious, an N.C. State spokesman said.
Wood's grandfather was sitting courtside during the game and fainted after a dizzy spell. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution, according to a spokesman.

canon lacks some glass Nikon has, and vice versa. In this day and age, both systems are so well stocked, you're really just buying your camera choice
If you're shooting weddings or 'generalist' stuff, maybe. But those gaps in the lineup are significant, and I think Canon has the lead there. The MP-E 65mm for macro shooters and the TS-E 17mm for architecture/interiors are unmatched. For landscape shooters, the Nikon 14-24mm is nice, but Canon has a 14mm prime and a zoom starting at 16mm. For wildlife, Nikon's real and purchasable 200-400/4 is nice, but I'll take my handholdable 600/4 over that any day.

Smokey The Bear Says Only You Can Prevent Snakebites
Everyone has a phobia. The fact that I made it through life immune to childhood fears gave me an overblown sense of victory. That was before I moved to Namibia and realized that poisonous snakes don't live behind thick walls of glass at the zoo they live in nature. As in the tall brush that I walk through every day. Fortunately Namibians share my fear of snakes and are prone to taking any means necessary to kill a snake regardless if it's a black mamba or a garden snake.
One morning I learned that the commonly accepted method of killing snakes is fire. As I grew up in Texas, where Smokey the Bear taught us that even the smallest spark could cause a forest fire that would take out the entire Southwest and singe Smokey's ranger hat, I was a bit apprehensive. However I figured my host family knew what they are doing so I stood back and watched as the fire burned mere feet from the homestead. Fortunately the flames burned down leaving in their wake charred ground, which everyone immediately started circling with sticks , hoes, and intent looks on their faces.
Me: "Um, what are you looking for?"
Host Family: "A poisonous snake. I think it's over there." (Pointing mere feet from where I stood.)
Me: (Hopping around nervously and peering at the ground) "Oh, ok. Great."
Host Family: "Don't worry, it's only mildly poisonous."
Me: "Awesome. So I'll die more slowly."
Host Family: "Just slowly enough to get to the hospital. Maybe."
Sufficed to say I still have a fear of poisonous snakes but fortunately I'm more likely now to run into a black mamba in the zoo than in my backyard.

When I transfer music from PC and playback, the phone will restart. When I switch on again I can listen all the music. Each time when I transfer music and refresh the library the device will switch off. Sometimes in the middle of the song which is playing on the music player gets stuck and switch off .
Please make a new software update for this issue.
04-10-2010 5:21
Hi Nokia,
My mobile got screwed up. The problem has gotten worser.
Menu option is not working. click on any button other than Navigation button, it will restart. From yesterday night it has restarted more than 50 times. Thought of going to Nokia care center. But after reading the review comments in net regarding Nokia centers, now I am scared even to go there.
What the heck is going on in NOKIA. You are screwing up urself and us too.
Bring in immediate action on Nokia Care Center personnel. Some of the reviews listed below about care centers. Nokia give me garuntee that my phone will not be ruined further after going to your so called CARE CENTER. these comments are written on different care centers in Bangalore. Its the same treatment everywhere in bangalore.
Most worst service care centre
If you want - 1.To get your handset screwed up Go there. (They just do hit and trial. I went as system clock was slow. For that they upgraded the software(?????) and result was that few touch screen icons stopped working - including reciving call icon. Then they sent Delhi. The result is ZERO. As of today also system clock is slow. 2.Not ony that- I had 80 songs when I bought it. After software snstallation, songs stopped playing due to licensing issue. Center person says that they can't do anything. 3.If you want have more time to kill Go there (as they will ask you to come many times) 4.If you want your money to be wasted Go there (they gave me standby with full of viruses and that resulted in sending automatic MMS to all my contacts. I had to pay more than 150 rupees to Airtel and no one from Nokia is ready to take responsibility or no accountability) The people over there were just laughing on this incidence. 5.There manager is never available.
My N 82, which is supposed to be a rellay good phone has been totally wrecked by these people, thoroughly incompetent and absolutely no integrity
worstest service
i gave my cell to repair only because '2' keypad was not working and when i got back, not even 1 kepad is working.they hav corrupted even the joystick and formatted the cell. i dont understand why the hell they formated cell to just replace keypad
Nokia Care the worst experience
Yes, I second all the reviews given here. Its the worst service you can ever expect. They took 10 days to get back to me and made me wait for another 20 days, saying they are doing this, they are doing that, changing this and that. And at last the worst part is they gave me back the cell saying that its not repairable. NOKIA guys, if you seeing these reviews better take care of your reputation. Otherwise itself you are facing diminishing market space.... I have made my mind never to buy NOKIA anymore, and will do so to persuade all my friends and family members
Its WORST, NOKIA Harrasing Center
They were suppose to give my mobile after repair the very next day but its been more than 13 days I haven't got my mobile. It was just a replacement of a part and they kept on postponing me by there fake stories. Staff is also rude, they disconnected my phone twice when I asked that why they are doing like this. Please don't visit this Nokia Center or they will make you cry..

Hi Jakivi,
Would appreciate if you can include the following also in the update coming up:
(1) In Calendar, pl include the week number also. It used to be there in S40 Phones at the top right corner of calendar. This was quite useful as we used to schedule our works on weekly basis and put the deadline for each work as Week 23, Week 30 etc etc.
I used to use this feature of S40 phones for scheduling. Now its not possible despite C5-00 a semi-smartphone and supposed to be superior to S40 interface.
(2) I also miss the scientific calculator which was there in my earlier S40 Phone(7210 Supernova). We use it frequently at worksites. Its convenient and need not take bulky scintific calculators to worksite.
13-10-2010 10:53
Is it only the speaker on the back that is affected? I don`t know how it was before the update, my speakers seem to be fine, but the handsets earpiece seems to have a very limited sound. When being in a loud environment I sometimes have troubles understanding the call partner.
13-10-2010 13:06
@ sreek,
Thanks for your feedback. S40 and S60 are different platforms and therefore the user interface and applications are somewhat different. Unfortunately at the moment it seems unlikely that there will be changes made to calendar or calculator application in future sw releases for C5-00.
I'm not sure didi I understand your issue correctly but in C5-00 calendar there is week number shown at month and week view (at week view user can choose from Options -> Settings -> Title of week view whether the week number or duration is shown at the top left corner).
There are some calculators available at Ovi store which might be suitable for you. Just write calculator into search field to find some.
13-10-2010 18:01
Thanks Jakivi for the response. Seeing response from responsible people make customers more brand loyal. Keep it up!!!!
Yep. Saw some calculator applications in Ovi Store. I wish nokia incorporate a scientific calculator by default in S60 phones.
Regarding the calendar- i have only 4 choices in the options-settings-<Calendar Alarm Tone>, <Alarm snooze time>, <default view>(tried all options), <week starts on>. Couldn't find the week number. Anyways i've bought the phone, shall be contended. Its ok.
13-10-2010 20:34
Hello Jakivi
It's true. Don't know why I update my C5 to version 032.010.......... Now the speaker volume is too low... 031.022 is better (Old version) even cannot rollback. Now I don't even see Hi5, Youtube and Friendster applications also. Only Facebook and other applications. Nothing look different. Even the performance... One game also missing. Please make an update immediately.
14-10-2010 2:36
Where is the solution? Why the continuous delay? You ask to wait and wait and wait.... UNTIL WHEN???? Nokia is absolute nonsense...
23-10-2010 15:35
i am also having the same problem of reduced volume of speakers.do someone know how restore the software to the previous version
25-10-2010 23:00
@shashankagrawal...... you can't downgrade the phone's software... the only solution is to wait the next firmware release from Nokia (hope it will be soon)
26-10-2010 7:58 - edited 26-10-2010 8:05
>>I understand that a low volume is needed for Europe or usa where streets and public transport are not as noisy.
>>Hi, i updated the firmware but the processor speed shows only 197MHz compared to the 600
The very same problem of too silent GPS-navigation voice is concerning us in Europe too.
What's the processor speed indeed in this device? Hardly that 600 Mhz mentioned here?
Right now I am lost with the Nokia menu again.. . where to find the firmware version and firmware update? I found those earlier but right now can't find... damn
I think I already have that 032.010 and waiting for the new Firmware version to get skyfire web browser for its better support for flash video sites like veoh.com
Nokia GPS may not work as well as standard Car navigators do and if this device is not capable of showing all flash videos, I do not have much use of it. To call this devise smart phone is not very wise from Nokia.
31-10-2010 17:31
Why is it takin such a veryyyyyyyyyyyyy long time for NOKIA to release the software and fix the issues?????
Atleast tell us when it ll be ready!!!!!!!!!!!!
31-10-2010 17:32
We have been really waiting for a long time now......
31-10-2010 22:23
The new nokia phone is low class . My nokia C5 have big big problems.
02-11-2010 11:57
Unfortunately I don't have any date to give but typically bigger software updates are released in 3-4 month periods so I hope it won't take too long anymore before a new software will be available for C5-00.
03-11-2010 1:51
Hi !
Great phone, but shame for Nokia to have such great hardware and superior Symbian but such primitive UI at the same time ... at least comparable to S40.
I have a feeling that SW is written somewhere in fareast as well...
Few most annoying:
-try to change data in address book (nightmare to reach "edit")
-selecting address to send SMS (no "last used" anymore)
-send photo over MMS - terrible to reach picture resize
-reach some data while phone conversation (beside address book)
-how to reach already opened apps (like web browser) - no info about
-strange Ovi maps menues
Hey Nokia, wake up, in time of iPhone and Androids you even made a step backward at user convenience !

Most parents usually warn their adolescent girls not to ever go home with stranger, especially not someone who one has just met in a bar. But not many parents warn their sons to be careful who they go home with. This was the intriguing part of this spell-binding, page turning psychological thriller. In addition to the chilling aspects of the book, there are also the strong underlying themes for all of us.

Almost every single day, one way or another, I'm reminded that going to school in the north was terrible, terrible idea. Everyone's better looking, the food's 200% more unhealthy, you can go out pretty much every night of the week, and winter doesn't exist. Covering college football just makes the point that much more obvious.↵
Witness the lede from the New York Times' Mississippi State-LSU preview:
The president of Mississippi State, Mark E. Keenum, canceled Thursday's classes months ago in anticipation of a night game against No. 3 Louisiana State. Early Wednesday morning, fans began lining a grassy area known as the Junction, waiting for a chapel bell to ring at 5 p.m. so they could officially begin tailgating more than 24 hours before kickoff.↵
No class? 24 hour tailgates? Come on, man. Now they're just taunting the rest of us.

This report uses data from the USDA's 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and the 1994-96 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey to ascertain whether economic factors help explain weight differences among adults. Weight differs among demographic subgroups, and differences in specific behaviors, health awareness, and eating patterns can be linked to weight outcomes. An economic framework helps explain how socioeconomic factors affect an individual's ability to achieve good health. Our results suggest that income, household composition, and formal education help explain variation in behaviors and attitudes that are significantly associated with weight outcomes.

CB4 is a 1993 American comedy film directed by Tamra Davis, and starring Chris Rock. The film follows a fictional rap group named 'CB4', named after the prison block in which the group was allegedly formed (Cell Block 4). The movie primarily parodies the rap group N.W.A among other gangsta rap aspects, and contains short segments featuring celebrities and musicians such as Halle Berry, Eazy-E, the Butthole Surfers, Ice-T, Ice Cube, Flavor Flav, and Shaquille O'Neal.[1]
Three young friends and aspiring rappers, Albert (Chris Rock), Euripides (Allen Payne), and Otis (Deezer D) want to make their big break. In order to get their name heard, they appeal to local crime kingpin and nightclub owner Gusto (Charlie Murphy) along with his sidekick and henchman 40 Dog (Ty Granderson Jones), but during a failed meeting the police rush in and throw Gusto in jail.
Gusto believes that the trio set him up, swearing revenge when he is released from prison. While Gusto is locked up, Albert steals his criminal background and identity to become "MC Gusto", and forms the hardcore gangsta rap group CB4 (Cell Block 4). CB4 becomes the hottest band on the charts with controversial hits like "Sweat From My Balls" and "Straight Outta Locash," and their rise to fame is documented by an aspiring director (Chris Elliott) and his cameraman.
As an ambitious politician (Phil Hartman) seeks to shut them down for obscenity charges, tensions between the group arise over one member's gold-digging groupie girlfriend (Khandi Alexander). The group breaks up, and the strain of the charade takes its toll on Albert's family life and relationship with his wholesome girlfriend Daliha (Rachel True). Gusto eventually escapes from prison and sets out to get revenge by making Albert appear to really be the criminal he pretends to be, but the plan backfires and Gusto is sent to prison for life. Albert gives up the pretense of being a gangsta, and the group has a happy reunion tour.
A soundtrack containing hip hop music was released on March 2, 1993 by MCA Records. It peaked at #41 on the Billboard 200 and #13 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.
The movie had a mixed reception from critics.[2][3][4]
Box office[edit]
The film ranked #2 at the box office with an opening weeks gross of $6,500,000 across 1,205 theatres.[5] At the end of its domestic run it had grossed a total of $17,953,778.[6]

No region in France is as representative of the country's royal splendor as the Loire Valley. With grand chateaux, hilltop villages, and lazy rivers that wind through forests and vineyards, the Loire offers a feast for the senses that proclaims, "This is France!" Join us for ten days exploring the most spectacular castles and countryside in France, while enjoying leisurely rides and two-night stays in Azay-le-Rideau, Amboise and Saumur.
If this sounds great but you'd like a shorter tour check out our 7 day, Castles of the Loire Valley tour.
Day 1: Arrive in Beaugency, France
Highlights: 11th century keep; stroll the Loire river banksMeet today in Beaugency, a town whose rich architectural styles have made it one of the quintessential towns of the Loire. After settling into our hotel, you can visit the medieval town center crowned by its 11th century keep. We'll fit bicycles this afternoon and enjoy a stroll along the Loire river banks at your leisure. We'll have a special welcome dinner together.
Lodging: Hotel de la Sologne
Day 2: Chambord & St Dyé
Highlights: Château de Chambord, designed by Leonardo da VinciThe Château de Chambord is the highlight of today's ride. Some say Leonardo da Vinci designed this opulent 400-room château when he lived at the royal court. The château nearly bankrupted the French treasury before its completion in 1685. You'll have plenty of time to visit the castle before pedaling back to our hotel in the charming village of St Dyé-sur-Loire later this afternoon. We'll enjoy a dinner together this evening made by a local chef.
Today's ride: 37 km (23 miles)
Lodging: Manoir Bel Air
Day 3: Amboise
Highlights: Châteaux of Blois and Chaumont; medieval town of AmboiseWe're off to Amboise today following the banks of the Loire river on our way to the impressive castle of Blois which Henry James described as "one of the most beautiful and elaborate of all the old royal residences in this part of France." Our next stop is Chaumont with its spectacular gardens, park, and castle perched over the Loire river valley. From there we'll bicycle to the town of Amboise which boasts the manor house of Le Clos Lucé where Leonardo da Vinci came to spend the last three years of his life upon invitation from the French king Francis I. Leonardo is buried in the castle's chapel. Today's ride: 58 km (36 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Le Clos d'Amboise or Le Manoir des Minimes
Day 4: Chenonceau Castle
Highlights: Château de Chenonceau; canoe trip down the Cher RiverWe head off toward the Cher River this morning where we'll regroup to canoe to the famous castle of Chenonceau. The castle forms a bridge across the river, one of the tributaries to the Loire. We'll leave our canoes here for a free afternoon to explore the castle, once occupied by Diane de Poitiers, mistress to Henri II. After the king's death in 1599, Queen Catherine de Medici reclaimed the castle and evicted de Poitiers. You can still explore the two separate gardens created for these two women. Dinner tonight is together. Today's ride: 39 km (24 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Le Clos d'Amboise or Le Manoir des Minimes
Day 5: Azay-le-Rideau
Highlights: Château of Azay-le-Rideau, quiet roadsWe're back on our bikes crossing the Cher and Indre river valleys west, through vineyards, past wheat fields, and through French writer Honoré de Balzac's favorite countryside to our hotel in Azay. Once in Azay-le-Rideau, make sure to visit its fairy-tale chateau: one of the most striking in all of France. Balzac once described this chateau as "a diamond set in the Indre River valley." Our hotel this evening is a charming country inn just a short distance from the chateau. Dinner is on your own tonight. Today's ride: 61 km (38 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Grand Monarque
Day 6: Châteaux de Langeais and Villandry
Highlights: Castles of Langeais and Villandry; ornamental gardensToday, we'll suggest a ride to the Château de Langeais, and then on to the Château de Villandry, the last of the large châteaux built along the Loire during the Renaissance. You'll want to visit the spectacular, ornamental gardens before heading back through rolling farmland into Azay-le-Rideau. We'll be back in Azay-le-Rideau before dinner together this evening. Today's ride: 36 km (22 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Grand Monarque
Day 7: Bicycle to Chinon, Fontevraud and Saumur
Highlights: Castles of Ussé and Chinon, the Abbey of FontevraudOur ride today includes a variety of monumental architecture, including the largest and best preserved abbey complex in France. We begin by pedaling down the Indre River to the Loire, then along the levy to the Chateau of Ussé. Local lore claims that Ussé was the model for Sleeping Beauty's castle - you be the judge, but it surely looks like a fairy tale castle. We pedal through Chinon which is dominated by a huge castle dating to the 12th century. Finally, our ride takes us through Fontevraud with its large, well-preserved abbey dating to the beginning of the 12th century. Our ride ends in Saumur, on the banks of the Loire. We'll enjoy dinner together tonight. Today's ride: 73 km (45 miles)
Lodging: Hotel Adagio
Day 8: Loop ride from Saumur
Highlights: Chalk cave dwellings of Doué-la-Fontaine and nearby villages
The entire Loire region is underlain by soft chalk deposits which lent themselves to excavating wine cellars, storage caves, and even dwellings. We pedal past the castle of Brézé today on our way to the town of Doué-la-Fontaine both of which have preserved a network of caves an underground dwellings. Brézé is built on passageways, defensive posts, stables, and kitchens all carved out of the soft stone underneath the castle. Among the many cave dwellings in Doué there is one large quarry that has become a zoo with near-natural habitat for the animals. We'll suggest lunch in Doué to enjoy these sites and a stop in a troglodyte village on our ride back to Saumur. Today's ride: 57 km (35 miles).
Lodging: Hotel Adagio
Day 9: Bicycle from Saumur to Angers
Highlights: Bicycling along the Loire River to historic AngersOur ride today takes along the Loire River one more time to the lively and lovely town of Angers. A university town, Angers is known throughout France for its commerce, its cultural festivals its historic and modern tapestry museum, and its fortress castle which dates to the early part of the 13th century. Angers isn't on the Loire River but on the Maine, a major tributary. We'll suggest a picnic along the Loire before arriving in Angers where you'll want to spend the afternoon exploring. Don't miss the "doutre" quarter (from the French, "d'outre Maine" - on the "other side of the Maine"), a well preserved neighborhood with half-timber buildings. We enjoy a final dinner together this evening. Today's ride: 64 km (40 miles)
Lodging: Hotel de France

For the third time in three years I am writing to tell you what a fabulous time I had on one of your bicycling tours. This year I went to the Loire. I loved it!! The scenery was gorgeous - sunflowers, wheat fields, vineyards, forests and, of course, the fabled châteaux dotting the riverbanks and hillsides. And, the tour leaders were top notch - they were friendly, helpful and supportive. Their knowledge of French culture enriched our experiences and helped us enjoy the country even more.

I am embarrassed by how long it has taken me to write this, yet ironically, it's sort of a compliment to you that six weeks later I still marvel at what a perfect trip you conducted down the Loire Valley and what a completely delightful experience the entire week was for me. It was like floating...dream-like...every concern unobtrusively or happily taken care of by our consummate hosts.

The Turlock Golden Eagles summer basketball program began their season on Wednesday at William Jessup University in Rocklin where over eight teams competed, with the Eagles squaring off in two games as they ended the day even at 1-1.
Pitman High was well represented during this year's CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Track and Field Trials and Finals on Thursday and Friday at Elk Grove High School as at least eight of its 12 qualifying athletes finished in the top 14 of their respective events.
Nineteen local athletes competed in the Division I CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Track and Field trials this week at Elk Grove High, with Turlock sending seven athletes across five events and Pitman with 12.
The Division IV-V Track and Field finals concluded on Thursday after small school athletes ran, jumped and hurdled their best at California State University, Stanislaus' Warrior Field.
The Central California Conference track and field championships were dominated by host schools Pitman and Turlock on Saturday. Turlock and Pitman both combined for nine first place finishes, with the Pride tallying six and the Bulldogs coming away with three in a day that saw both Turlock squads shine.
The Turlock High baseball team did something that they have failed to do in three of the past four seasons-beat St. Mary's in the playoffs-and on Monday history was made for the Bulldogs in the quarterfinal round of the Division I South CIF Sac-Joaquin bracket.
Teo Chiesa will soon be playing golf at the collegiate level, as the Turlock High student signed a letter of intent for California State University, Bakersfield and its Division I program.
Coming off a historic win for Pitman softball, the Pride were confident going into the second round of the Division I CIF Sac-Joaquin section playoffs. But Vacaville, the fifth ranked team in California, was able to play mistake free while Pitman's six errors led to a 9-0 loss.
The past two years have been Turlock baseball's time to shine and Thursday's Division I CIF Sac-Joaquin Section round two playoff game against Lodi was no exception. Despite a rocky start on the mound, the Bulldogs pulled off a 9-3 win over the Flames, securing a spot in the quarterfinals.
Delhi High's softball team is on to the quarterfinals of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division VI softball tournament after Thursday's 13-2, first round playoff win over Woodland Christian High. The Hawks ravaged the Cardinals of the Central Valley California League with a one-two punch from the plate and pitcher's mound as Briana Lopez and Alyssa Stockton applied a steady stream of pressure through the game's five innings.
The Southern Athletic League track and field championships took place at Mariposa High Wednesday afternoon under the bright, hot summer sun with temperatures close to the triple digit mark.
The Pitman Pride softball team has done something they have never done before in school history-win a postseason game-after failing to do so in the previous four appearances.
Local high school golfers took their final swings of the 2014 season in Monday's Masters Tournament at the Reserve at Spanos Park in Stockton with the ambition to reach the Northern California Tournament, but it was not to be.
The Turlock High boys tennis team's successful season came to an end on Monday, in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I quarterfinal match against a visiting Armijo High team.
Pitman High entered Friday's home game against Downey High with a team characterized by its youth. With only two returning starters from last year's squad and the bulk of its roster comprised of juniors, the Pride knew that the Knights, back-to-back winners of the Modesto Metro Conference title, would be a difficult challenge to overcome in their season opener.
Turlock High began the 2014 football season the way every team hopes to -with a win. The Bulldogs traveled to Modesto to face Enochs High and came home with a tight 25-20 victory.
Denair's volleyball team has been through a rough patch the last three years, but 2014 is a whole new season.
Ty Pettigrew's girls golf squad has won three of the last four Valley Foothill League titles, and the Hilmar Lady Yellowjackets are looking to make it four out of five after the 2014 year concludes.

In this meeting the 8 doctors drafted a ten-point discussion as to why Congress should support President Barack Obama in his request to have the United States military intervene in the crisis. The document includes:
1. The United States cannot avoid being pulled into the conflict; 2. Each day the United States waits to act, the number of extremists entering Syria increases; 3. Intervention in Syria is not comparable to Iraq or Afghanistan (rather it's like Kosovo or Rwanda); 4. The conflict in Syria is not a civil war; sectarianism inside Syria has been introduced by the (Bashar al-) Assad regime and other regional forces; 5. Inaction by the United States risks breeding extremism among the more vulnerable Syrian youth; 6. What is stopping the Assad regime from repeating the use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD's) against the Syrian people and American allies in the region? 7. Rouge governments; namely Iran and North Korea, are closely watching the U. S. response to Syria's use of chemical ways; 8. The United States has tried diplomacy over the past 30 months, and it has not worked; 9, Lack of action by the United States will embolden the Assad regime and 10, Americans cannot expect the Syrians to make progress towards their ultimate goal of political, civic and economic freedoms without additional U. S. and international support
Led by Doctors Abdul Kawamleh and Wayel Kaakaji, the physicians are concerned for the safety of their fellow Syrians. "The Syrian people cannot tolerate any more of the Assad regime, which is killing hundreds of civilians every day," says Dr. Kawamleh who goes on to explain,. "It is now confirmed that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons against its own people on at least 24 occasion. For example, on August 21, 1429 people died in the regime's latest attack using sarin chemicals, which included 426 children who died from suffocation when they sought to find shelter from the attack." The latter was the largest in scare and number of fatalities.
Secretary of State John Kerry agrees. In his September 3 testimony before the U S Senate Foreign Relations Committee Kerry said, "This attack against some 1400 Syrian people is a despot's brutal and flagrant use of chemical weapons."
But many more "innocent civilians" are being killed by missiles, air attacks, artillery fire, and sniper attacks, and over 2 million Syrians have become refugees as a result of the conflict..
Attending the meeting with Kawamlehand Kaakaji were Doctors H. Safadi, A. Safadi, Alnahass, Ghaith Atassi, Faleh Atassi, Bassel Shughoury, Firas Zeitoun, Yaser Alobeid and Elian Shepherd. Of those attending, a few have traveled to Syria and Jordan to see for themselves the atrocities inflicted by the Assad forces on the Syrian people. Those physicians who have traveled to the Middle East have also provided free medical care and supplies to as many as they could manage in a two to four week visit.
"The Syrian people have a long history of acceptance and tolerance among religions and sects," says Dr. Kawamleh, "The Assad regime has showed that they are willing to use WMD's to stay in power." He adds, "By not intervening, Syria grows more unsettled and unstabilized.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has drafted a resolution in support of given Mr.Obama the powers he is requesting, and the full Senate is expected to adopt the resolution. The same powers may face more difficulty in the U. S. House of Representatives when it takes up the resolution next week.
Kawamleh says, "Over one million Syrian are living in absolute squalor in refugee camps throughout the Middle East, including Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey. If the United States does not act to stop the Assad regime, and help these children return home to their families, this society will risk lose a generation of Syrians to extremism. That then could be a social nightmare for all civilized nations of the world."

Don't Have a Cow, Man!
We recently came across this unretouched photo of an unusual cow and wanted to bring it to your attention ... as well as a question for any evolutionists who might be reading this. (Okay, so we're joking about it being unretouched!)
Our question for evolutionists is this: Wouldn't you agree that this cow was designed by an artist with Photoshop? If so, why won't you agree that the actual cow - which is so much more complex than its coloring - was designed as well?
To be consistent as an evolutionist, you have to agree that this photo might indeed show an actual cow that has not been retouched by a designer. But you won't do that, will you? There's just something about a picture like this that screams PHOTOSHOP!
So yes, you'll agree that the pattern of the cow's spots was designed, but you won't agree that the cow itself was designed. Why not? Because you are committed to your faith built on the premise that there is no Designer. And that leaves you with only one conclusion: that the complexities we see all around us are nothing more than the result of natural processes.
And that's why Darwinists have a cow whenever they hear a creationist say that things that appear to be designed actually ARE designed. Here at Creation Moments, we'll continue to assert that Design requires a Designer. And that's why we believe that the arrangement of the cow's spots as well as the cow itself were designed!
Those are our thoughts. What are yours?

Panthers F Upshall out several weeks
Sunrise, FL (Sports Network) - Florida Panthers forward Scottie Upshall is expected to be out of the lineup for several weeks with what is being called a lower-body injury.
Florida head coach Kevin Dineen made the announcement following Friday morning's practice.
Upshall was hurt and left Thursday's 6-3 win over Winnipeg with an apparent right leg injury. In a scrap which occurred at the 5:43 mark of the third period, fellow combatant James Wright wrestled him to the ice near the boards during a fight and Upshall's knee bent awkwardly as he fell.
The 29-year-old winger has totaled one goal and 15 penalty minutes in seven games this season.

- About USCCB
In recent years, many have worked to foster an increasing awareness of the significant effects of Celiac Sprue disease on people's lives. The digestive system of those with this condition is considerably compromised by the consumption of gluten, one of the major ingredients in wheat flour. It is estimated that as many as fifteen percent of all persons of northern European origin are affected by this disease to some degree.
This is a particular challenge to Catholics, who believe that the celebration of the Holy Eucharist and the reception of Holy Communion are the very source and summit of the Christian life. Priests should show great pastoral sensitivity and compassion to anyone afflicted with this disease, but especially to the parents of children with a gluten intolerance at the time of their first Holy Communion.
The USCCB Secretariat of Divine Worship has devoted considerable resources to this question in recent years. In 2003, the Secretariat successfully assisted the Congregation of Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri in the production of a very low-gluten host which has been favorably reviewed by the publication Gluten-Free Living as "perfectly safe" 1 for sufferers of Celiac Sprue disease.
In 2012, the Secretariat identified two additional distributors of low-gluten hosts as suitable matter for the Eucharistic liturgy.
Low gluten altar hosts are available from the following:
Such communicants may still receive the Precious Blood. Catholics believe that whoever receives Holy Communion only under the form of bread or only under the form of wine still receives the whole Christ, in his Body and Blood, soul and divinity.
In such cases, the bishop may grant permission for individuals to receive mustum, a type of wine with a minimal alcohol content. If an individual is unable to tolerate mustum, there is little else the Church can do except to recommend that the person make a "spiritual communion." Why? Because the Church believes that it is impossible to consecrate anything except wheat bread and grape wine. From the time that the Lord Jesus took bread and wine and told his disciples: "Do this in memory of me," the Roman Catholic Church has tried faithfully to fulfill Christ's command by taking unleavened bread made from water and wheat flour, and wine made from grapes for use at the Eucharist.
No. It is impossible to consecrate a host made of something other than wheat and water. No priest or bishop can change this longstanding teaching of the Catholic Church. A little over a year ago, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, once again took up this question on behalf of the Holy Father when he wrote: "Hosts that are completely gluten-free are invalid matter for the celebration of the Eucharist." 2 Excerpts from Gluten Free Living (Vol. 9, no. 1).

To the Editor,
As the daughter of the FBI agent who developed mobster Joe Valachi's testimony for the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations there was no confusion in our house over what it meant to take a quarter of a million dollars from an operation supported by the Gambino crime family.
Every dollar was a vote for murder, kidnapping, extortion, gambling, loan sharking and white slavery rings. This, after all, is the same crew that brought us Carlo Gambino, Paul Castellano, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and John Gotti — but then our congressman probably knows that.
Once we learned of his family's odd financial arrangement with his wife's brothers and his wife made a hasty plea deal in federal court, his fate with longtime supporters like me was sealed. Beyond his clueless decision and his subsequently stupefying rationalizations I guess lying about this opponent's character and qualifications was apparently a piece of cake. And despite Mr. Tierney's preposterous representation that he has somehow been exonerated by the court, the potential for additional disclosures in a complex racketeering case like this seem likely, not to mention a visit from the House Ethics Committee.
Mr. Tierney has deferred the lion's share of heavy lifting on fisheries issues to Mr. Frank for many years, and Frank is now leaving Congress. Add that vacuum of experience and leadership to Mr. Tierney's deeply troubling ethics and legal issues and fishermen will be left holding the bag.
It's time to establish clear and enduring leadership on fishing issues and with someone who can work with the Republican Congress. That person is Richard Tisei.

£37bn rail investment plan unveiled (From News Shopper)

£37bn rail investment plan unveiled
8:39am Tuesday 8th January 2013 in Lewisham © Press Association
A £37.5 billion plan to run and expand the railways in the period 2014-19 has been unveiled by Network Rail (NR).
If approved, the plan will provide 170,000 extra commuter seats at peak times by 2019, by which time the railways could be carrying as many as 225 million more passengers than at present.
But despite the big investment plans, NR envisages no overall improvement in train punctuality compared with the trains-on-time target for 2009-2014. A figure of 92.5% punctuality was set for the period 2009-2014 - a target which NR has failed to meet.
In the business plan, the company said it expected to achieve a trains-on-time figure of 92.5% "by the end" of the period 2014-2019.
NR also warned that even with the extra trains and seats this would "not be enough" on the busy West Coast Main Line where the added capacity of the London to Birmingham HS2 high-speed rail line project was, it said, "essential".
And NR chief executive Sir David Higgins added, ominously, that the industry, under pressure to cut costs, had entered "the era of trade-offs".
He went on: "Increasingly we have to balance the need to build more infrastructure, run trains on time and cut costs, and in many areas choices will need to be made."
To be agreed with and approved by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR), the NR plan envisages improvements that by 2019, including various electrification schemes such as the Great Western and Midland Main Lines, station improvements at Birmingham New Street and Reading in Berkshire, and reopening 31 miles of railways in Scotland closed under the Beeching cuts of 50 years ago.
Bob Crow, general secretary of the Rail Maritime and Transport union, said: "While we support any plans to expand and invest in Britain's railways, you cannot seriously expect to safely increase capacity while at the same time the Government is looking to axe key frontline staff on trains, track and stations."
Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) chief executive Richard Price said: "Ministers have shown huge faith in what the railways can add to Britain's society and economy, committing to around £20 billion-worth of public money at a time when there is little money to go around."

Polly Staight says...
I reckon that if the Stephensons' were around today, they would be building vehicles to run on roads.
There seems to be some confusion amongst our politicians that people would rather be squashed together in various standing/sitting/lea
ning positions, in fear of fainting and "feely" men (and maybe some women), going somewhere not quite where they wanted to go, and at huge expense, rather than travelling precisely where wanted, when and in comfort on the road.
There are two pieces of confusion here...
The first that rail is in some way more environmentally "friendly", which of course is tosh, because they either run on heavy oil, or they run on electricity that was generated some distance away, and much of which is then lost on the way to the tracks.
The second, that every piece of new road leads to a correspondingly new traffic jam...
...They haven't built any new roads since the 1980's apart from a couple of short pieces of motorway and some cul-de-sac's full of new houses.
Whilst it is true that the only practical form of motorised personal transport is fuelled by polluting oil, that does not mean to say that this will always be the case... Efficient storage of hydrogen cannot be far away, and once that happens, personal vehicles will be polluting us with water trickling from their "exhaust" pipes.
I do not see that spending £37 billion on rail infrastructure as being money well spent...
...If they were spending it on roads and cycle paths, they would be making a good call regarding our infrastructure needs, anything other than roads are a guaranteed white elephant.

Massena Theatre
1 person favorited this theater
The Massena Theatre was opened prior to 1941, when it was operated by the Schine Circuit. It was still open in 1950.
Recent comments (view all 7 comments)
This was a Schine house. In 1962 at the age of 14 I visited Massena with my parents. We stayed at the new Schine Inn just down the street. My dad took my brother and me to the Massena to see "the Road to Hong Kong" with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. I don't remember much about the theatre except that the film broke. The cartoon was "Young Daniel Boone" a 20th Century Fox CinemaScope cartoon.
There are several views of the theater on this site:
I have a post card of this photo I obtained in the late '60's. One movie on the marquee is the 1959 film "The Blue Angel" starring the blond beauty may Britt , once married to Sammy Davis Jr. Like a ring with it's gem stone sparkling, the brightly lit marquees that once dotted our downtowns are becoming scarce to find. Massena was a bustling village in the midst of the Seaway and power project at the time of this photo. Ray. CharlotteNC. (formerly Winthrop, NY)
I believe the MASSENA Theatre had earlier been the STRAND Theatre. Check photos …
The location of the Massena Theatre is wrong on the Google map. On the satellite map, it looks like the theater still exists. It is located on Main Street, between W/E Orvis Street and Andrews/Phillips Street.
If you click on the above Google Map, you can see the Massena Theatre. It looks good. The framework of the marquee is still in place. The image is dated November 2008.
Renovation plans are now under consideration: watertowndailytimes

The Enterprise Cost Solution
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2003 - $16,15080% of a product's cost is decided early on by design, purchasing and manufacturing decisions. However, little information on cost is typically available until the design is completed and the company begins manufacturing. This lack of information about cost during product development can have a great impact on overall expense, particularly if design changes are made later in the product cycle. The Enterprise Cost Solution E-Team developed a technique, called Feature-Based Costing (FBC), that quickly and accurately estimates production and tooling costs early in the design process using readily available information. The device determines information automatically from the engineer's solid model and does not require user input. FBC software estimates total part costs, including material, overhead, processing, and tooling costs.

General & Cosmetic Dentistry can give you a smile you're happy to show off. Modern cosmetic dentistry techniques make it easier than ever for you to have a bright, even smile.
Dr. Milligan and Dr. Duncan provide you the smile you want using:
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
Dental implants are changing the way people live. With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life. For more information about dental implants or to schedule a consultation appointment, call our office in Incline Village, NV at 775.831.3466.
We monitor our appointment requests several times a day and will usually reply within one business day during open hours.
