vacation rental description
Few oceanfront condos have the wide-open, natural feel of Quail Hollow B1-2th. Our open-air patio on the ground floor puts you right at the foot of the dunes, just yards from the beach! Come experience lovely Crescent Beach at close and beautiful range!
Our condo is a corner unit, so all of the views are doubled. One entire wall of the living room is giant windows, and every bedroom upstairs is flooded with light, too. (There's a balcony with a splendid view up there!) If you like your beach right at your fingertips, Quail Hollow B1-2th is the place you want to be.
Let's begin on the ground-floor patio. Just a hop, skip, and a jump from the private wooden walkway over the natural dunes onto the beach (a lovely trip in itself, with a "viewing" area with benches!), it has a terrific view of the dunes and the ocean. Although our condo is part of a complex, you can look out and feel as though you're at a solitary beach house, with the shore all to yourself.
Step inside the living room and you'll be amazed first by the size of the room, then by its contents. Oh, it has the full measure of comfy couches and chairs, plus a big TV with a VCR and DVD player that you expect, but it also has a little study in one corner, with a desk, music system, and reading material. Set up your laptop (free wireless Internet at Quail Hollow B1-2th!), pull out your Peterson's Field Guides, or simply study the map of the theme park you'll be visiting on this vacation. It's so nice to have a little area for contemplation!
Also part of this huge open room is the dining table, set for 4 with room for 3 more on stools at the breakfast bar. It's handy to the kitchen, which is nice and open so that you can gaze out at the water even while cooking. We've got everything you need here to prepare a feast, right down to the pots and pans, dishes, and utensils, but even if you're trying to stay clear of any serious cooking while on vacation, you'll appreciate the big fridge for all your drinks and takeout, not to mention the time-savers like the microwave and coffeemaker!
The bedrooms are upstairs, away from the noise and bustle of the living area, and everyone is sure to get a good night's sleep in these calm and well-ordered rooms. The master suite includes a wonderfully decadent king-size bed, giant TV with DVD player, lots of dresser space, and of course the balcony overlooking the zigzagging walkway to the beach. The bathroom is en suite, and features a bathtub as well as a shower, with the powder room area separate. Pamper yourself!
The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, plus glorious balcony access. Windows in two walls keep this room delightfully sunny if desired, and the shades can be pulled back for stargazing from the bed!
The third bedroom is home to a cheerful pair of twin beds, again with windows in two walls to keep things bright during the day. Snug and cozy, it's a great space for children.
Quail Hollow B1-2th has another full bathroom upstairs with a large walk-in shower, as well as a half-bath downstairs. The half-bath leads into the laundry room, where a washer and dryer await your loads of wet towels and swimsuits!
Should you manage to tear yourself away from the beach, you will also have the chance to swim without leaving the condo complex. Our gated community boasts a huge lap pool with plenty of lounging space. And if still more water is your goal, the Intracoastal Waterway, with its quiet inlets and hiking trails, is just minutes away.
At Quail Hollow, you're just down the road from historic St. Augustine, with its fine dining, world-class shopping, and interesting sightseeing. Disney World is less than 2 hours away by car, as well as countless other attractions. So whether you want to launch out on day trips or revel in the beauty of Quail Hollow B1-2th, do come stay. You'll never experience Crescent Beach so wonderfully again . . . until you come back, that is.

Vacation Rentals in Kentucky
Kentucky Rental Results
Kentucky Local Information and Area Highlights
Why Kentucky Vacation Rentals?
With lakes and rivers, bluegrass music, the infamous horse derbies, the Appalachia mountains, and strong Civil War heritage, a Kentucky vacation will delight you with adventure, history, and beauty. The best way to participate in this unique Southern culture is by staying in a roomy Kentucky vacation rental.
Equestrian Activities in Kentucky
A well-rounded Kentucky vacation should always include the state's famous equestrian scene. Several areas in Kentucky feature horseback riding along beautiful trails, and Lexington is home to the American Saddle Horse Museum. But what really fuels Kentucky's passion for horses is the annual Kentucky Derby Festival in Louisville in addition to the state's four other recognized racetracks. If you love horses, a vacation home in Kentucky will be the perfect place to stay.
Lakefront Kentucky Vacation Homes and the Great Outdoors
Kentucky is blooming with natural beauty and activities for outdoor lovers, especially in the Lakes and Rivers the Audubon regions of Western Kentucky. Fishing, hunting, camping, and hiking await you. The state's 90,000 miles of streams make Kentucky lake vacation rentals a popular way to enjoy the great outdoors. Sure, you can stay at a hotel, but a luxurious waterfront Kentucky vacation rental or quaint Kentucky cabins will get you a lot closer to nature and outdoor activities and will provide much more room for you to spread out. Need more tangible inspiration for a Kentucky lake vacation? Check out our beautiful Lake Cumberland vacation rentals and Kentucky Lake vacation rentals.
Kentucky Music
If you love music, residing in a Kentucky vacation rental will delight your senses. The state is known for its Appalachian folk music and bluegrass, and it's hard to visit the state and not overhear some of the popular twangy tunes. Renfro Valley is known as "Kentucky's Country Music Capital" and is the home of the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. A Lexington, Kentucky vacation rental will put you in the same city as the Festival of the Bluegrass, which is held every June and is one of the most respected traditional bluegrass festivals in the United States.
Why stay in a boring hotel on your trip? Kentucky vacation rentals are an ideal way to authentically experience the beautiful Bluegrass state.

The great mandolin string odyssey continues
I still haven't settled on a replacement for my beloved but tragically delicate nickel-wound Ernie Ball mandolin strings. I think I'm pretty close, though. I tried D'Addario's stainless steel strings, but I did't find them completely satisfactory. The only guague available is an .011 to .040 set, which is too heavy for my tastes. The tension on the strings is all about 23 pounds, I prefer to keep the tension lower because of some old problems with tendonitis.
The stainless steel strings were also too bright for my taste — I prefer a darker tone. With that in mind, I put a set of D'Addario nickel-wound mandolin strings for last night's show at the Charleston, and I was pretty happy with the results.
The nickel-wound set comes runs from .011, .014, .026, .039. I removed the .011s and replaced them with .010s for the 'e' string. The result is that the tension for all the strings except the 'g' string is below 20 pounds. That makes it much easier on the hands than the stainless steel set.
The tone is pretty good. Balanced, full, and sufficiently loud on my primary live mandolin. Equally important, I played a 3-hour plus show last night with no tuning problems and no string breakage.
By the way, D'Addario publishes a string tension guide on their website, which is very helpful. More string companies should do the same.

(WMC -TV) - Visible Music College student Sarah Simmons' last time on the "The Voice" stage was Monday night, but it will not be the last time fans will hear or see her.
Minutes after being eliminated, Simmons described how she feels going home.
"It's definitely bitter sweet. Extremely bitter sweet," she said.
Her coach, Adam Levine, took the news harder. His face said it all on live television.
"He kept telling me that he couldn't believe it, and he was upset with how voting goes," said Simmons.
Adam selected Sarah's song, Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know".
"I don't really second guess myself, and I certainly do not second guess myself in this situation. They did not deserve to go home based on their vocal ability and performances," said Levine.
Sarah said she cannot pull negative thoughts from her great experience.
Sarah and her mother will stay in Los Angeles for a couple more days, then they will return to the Mid-South. But Simmons is officially moving to Los Angeles in July to pursue her singing career full time.

They Bleed Pixels
Third party DRM: SteamThis game requires a free Steam account to play.
"Gothic brutality shines brightly throughout this blocky, blood-soaked indie platformer." - IGN.com
"Between its challenging platforming, unique save system and simple yet satisfying combat,They Bleed Pixels is an easy recommendation." - Joystiq.com
Players are talking about this game right now - find out more on Playfire.
They Bleed Pixels is a fiendishly difficult action platformer inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and classic horror. Rendered in a distinct visual style that blends pixel art with paper and ink textures, They Bleed Pixels is a singular mix of intense platforming and fierce beat-em-up action. At the core of its fighting system is a simple one-button combat scheme with surprising depth and versatility. Button mashing is discouraged while kicking shadowy monsters into saws, pits and spikes is rewarded, thanks to a unique system that lets you earn and place your own checkpoints through stylish kills. The fancier your kills, the faster you fill the checkpoint meter.
When a young girl arrives at the Lafcadio Academy for Troubled Young Ladies, she's unprepared for the violent nightmares that plague her dreams and transport her to other worlds. Worse yet, her dreams are intruding into her waking life, slowly altering her flesh into the demonic form of her night terrors. Can she destroy the mysterious blood-soaked book that appears to be the root of her troubles or will her transmutation from girl to clawed horror become complete?
Key Features:
Extra tight controls: One-button attack system favors skilled combat over complicated combos and button-mashing. Super precise platforming controls let you stop and start on a dime while pulling off gravity-defying dashes and double jumps.
Eleven massive levels to fight through and explore, each with unique visuals and music. Unlock additional guest levels from indie game developers based on their own creations: They Bleed Ponycorns, They Bleed Stardust.
Unique checkpoint system rewards fancy kills with a save spot you can carry with you. Hold on to it for extra points or drop it right away to preserve your progress.
Becoming a monster stabbing master with individual level rankings, online leaderboards for speed and high score as well as over 100 skill-based achievements. There's lots to aim for after you've completed the game.
Lush pixel art motion comics tell the story a young girl haunted by eldritch nightmares. Original electronic soundtrack by DJ Finish Him (aka Shaun Hatton) composed with synthesizers, unconventional instruments and gadgets often not meant for musical use.
Customer reviews
Fun and ChallengingNymanthe1st | April 14, 2014 | See all Nymanthe1st's reviews »
I am quite terrible at this game, but even though I fail quite often the movable checkpoints make my rage quite minuscule, which is a great part of the game. This game is a great game to when looking for a challenge and has an interesting difficulty curve. "Interesting". In all the game is very good with the only thing I can criticize would be it's clunky controls.
Super Meat Boy with Combat!!mogragh | April 14, 2014 | See all mogragh's reviews »
Quite fun! I would recommend it without a problem. The art is very stylistic, and unique.
Con: No full screen on 1080p yet, but it is coming ;)
Brutalaceman1011 | Oct. 12, 2013 | See all aceman1011's reviews »
As someone who has played a PC platformer, I took a chance on TBP. I don't own a controller, but the PC controls weren't that bad. However, the controls do have a bit of a delay of sorts, although this appears to be intentional. The game is extremely difficult, but it does offer a very useful checkpoint feature that I liked. However, due to the extreme difficulty, I lost interest in the game very quickly. It is a wonderful game that I really enjoyed, but I would only recommend it for hardcore platform gamers.
Lovecraftian Super Meat Boybibboorton | Sept. 21, 2013 | See all bibboorton's reviews »
That's probably the best way to describe this game.
It can get quite unforgiving, as a lot of other platformers do. What sets this apart is its lore. It has a story where many other games of its type do not. That is already a big plus for me. I recommend this to anyone who loves challenges but wants the full package of gameplay and story.
Tough but fun platformerMekh | Sept. 19, 2013 | See all Mekh's reviews »
This game is brutal at times, a really tough platformer with a bit of combat that actually is quite enjoyable in small doses. The controls for this game are really tight, I used a 360 controller and didn't run into any issues at all during my time playing - the character moved like I told her to. I didn't try it with a keyboard at all so I can't say anything about that.
The only complaint I have is that wall jumping was tricky to master, more specifically dropping from a wall instead of jumping makes you unable to double jump afterwards. But after a few hours of practice I got used to it and it didn't bother me so much anymore.
Overall I'd say that if you enjoy tough platformers then this one won't disappoint.

Ridgefield's famed children's book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak died Tuesday.
The celebrated children's author, best known for his book "Where The Wild Things Are," was "widely considered the most important children's book artist of the 20th century," the New York Times reports.
The Times reports that Sendak died of complications from a recent stroke, according to his longtime editor, Michael di Capua.
"Where The Wild Things Are" was published in 1963, and the story of a little boy named Max who sails into his dreams to have a "wild rumpus" with imaginative, sometimes nightmarish monsters was a bestseller.
The Times described his work: "In book after book, Mr. Sendak upended the staid, centuries-old tradition of American children's literature, in which young heroes and heroines were typically well scrubbed and even better behaved; nothing really bad ever happened for very long; and everything was tied up at the end in a neat, moralistic bow."
Recently, Maurice Sendak sat down with Stephen Colbert for an interview in his Ridgefield home.

The Chiefs win by an average of two touchdowns
We're going to start hearing about who the Chiefs have played (nobody!), how bad the offense is (horrible!) or the quarterbacks the defense has faced this year (Fitzpatrick!). But I would like to point out that the Chiefs aren't just beating teams. They are winning by an average of two touchdowns per game. An average.
Call them a fluke, call them lucky, call it whatever you want. But over the course of five games, it is NOT easy to walk out with an average margin of victory sitting at 14 points.
The defense is E-L-I-T-E
The Chiefs D was nasty in the first half, including an outstanding goal line stand. They allowed the Titans to go on two big touchdown drives. But that was it. That was the extent of the Chiefs struggles, and I use that word because this Titans game was the "worst" defensive performance of the year for KC.
A 17 point effort with the defense securing turnovers late in the game and this was the Chiefs "worst" defensive performance of the season. Life is good, Chiefs fans.
Just leaving this one here ... CHIEFENSE.
And another one: 11.6 points per game!
The Chiefs own the fourth quarter
Trailing 17-13 entering the final quarter in Week 5 against Tennessee, KC doubled their point total in the fourth quarter alone and the Chiefs eat the Titans, 26-17.
In Week 4, they put up 14 fourth quarter points to close out the Giants.
In Week 3, it was the eight-plus minute drive to shut down the Eagles come back hopes.
In Week 2, it was another clock-killing drive against Dallas to close it out.
The Chiefs own the fourth quarter.
The Chiefs are road warriors
Let's assume the Broncos are the world beaters they appear to be and they win the AFC West. Assuming the Chiefs clinch a Wild Card, they are going to have to go on the road in the first round of the playoffs. Then it's a good thing that the Chiefs win big on the road.
They beat the Jaguars by 26 points in Jacksonville. They went to Philly and beat the Eagles by 10. They completed Sunday's game in Tennessee with a nine-point victory. I don't care how bad you say the other team is, it's not easy and not common for teams to go on the road and win by multiple scores like this.
The Chiefs score 25.6 points per game
The biggest weakness on the Chiefs, both from the fan base and outsiders, is the offense. We all know that's going to be an issue at some point. Alex Smith needs to stretch the defenses more. Dwayne Bowe has to be more involved at some point. Jamaal Charles has to pick it up on the ground.
But you know what? The Chiefs are 11th in scoring right now. 11th! I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty good. It's one of those things where I can't tell you how they're doing it, but they are.
The Chiefs can score in all three phases
In response to the blurb above this one, many fans may point out that the defense and special teams have been scoring, too. I look at this as a positive. The Chiefs have multiple special teams touchdowns this year and multiple defensive touchdowns. You can't count on those types of plays to come in the future but you can celebrate them when they do. That's what we'll do now. Celebrate the fact that the Chiefs can score on offense, defense or special teams.
I get that you can't count on it week to week but scoring on defense and special teams is a very good thing.
Arrowhead is back
The Chiefs are 5-0 and have six more games at Arrowhead, including three in a row at home. With the way the stadium has awaken this year, that's a very, very good thing.

Three smaller-than-average people are being sought for questioning in the bigger-than-average theft of nearly $200,000 worth of diamonds from a jewelry store in west suburban Naperville.
Naperville police turned Wednesday to the public for help in identifying and finding the two diminutive women and the man believed responsible for the theft. Naperville Crime Stoppers has posted a reward of up to $1,000 for information about the case.
Police Sgt. Lou Cammiso said the incident occurred about noon Aug. 26 at Precious Fine Jewelry. The store is located at 2835 Showplace Drive, in the Naperville Crossings shopping center northwest of 95th Street and Route 59.
The man who took part in the alleged theft stands about 5 feet tall, according to a Crime Stoppers release. Cammiso said he entered the store first and "asked to see loose diamonds for a setting" he wanted made.
Cammiso said the first of the two women then came inside the store and "asked the same clerk for assistance, distracting him away from the diamonds." The salesman "put the diamonds behind the counter and attended to her," he said.
The second woman at that point entered the store, "reached behind the counter and took the box" of diamonds while the clerk waited on the first woman, Cammiso said.
Recognizing the ruse, the salesman followed the trio out of the store. Cammiso said they left the area on foot in different directions.
Cammiso said the stolen diamonds were valued at $185,000.
In addition to being about 5 feet tall, the man was described as Hispanic, between the ages of 20 and 25 and weighing about 150 pounds, the Crime Stoppers release stated. Both women were also Hispanic, between the ages of 20 and 25, weighing about 130 pounds each and standing "slightly taller than the male subject," according to the release.
Cammiso added at least two of the alleged thieves spoke with "slight accents."
Witnesses to the theft, those who recognize any of the suspects or those who have other information about the case are asked to call Naperville Crime Stoppers at 630-420-6006. Callers can remain anonymous.

Senator Mark Kirk voted around 11 a.m. on Election Day in Highland Park.
FOX Chicago News Political Editor Mike Flannery was with Kirk when he went to the polls at the Highwood Recreation Center.
Sen. Kirk also went out to shake a few hands Tuesday morning. He's been recovering from a stroke for 10 months.
This week has been a busy one for him, despite his continuing recovery. He walked up more than 30 flights of stairs at the Willis Tower on Sunday to raise money for a rehab center.
But on Election Day he was all about politics.
The senator told FOX Chicago he received a get-well phone call from President Obama after his stroke. He also spoke with the president about issues like immigration reform and sewage dumping in the Great Lakes.
Kirk said on Election Day that will oppose the comprehensive immigration reform supported by the president.
Kirk has not physically been in his senate office since his stroke. However, aides said they're been meeting with him on a regular basis at home to stay updated.
He will be up to speed when he returns to Washington in January.

They were the ultimate power couple, but former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver split up last year after it was revealed that he fathered a child outside the marriage with the family's longtime housekeeper.
In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Schwarzenegger declared he hopes to win Shriver back. Take a look at the couple over the years.
News of the extramarital affair came as a surprise and the couple split shortly after in May of 2011.
Confirmation of their split came just two weeks after their 25th wedding anniversary.
Schwarzenegger, a bodybuilder-turned-actor, and Shriver, a network TV news anchor, became one of America's most famous couples when they married in 1986.
They both gave up those careers when he was elected governor of California in 2003.
The couple has four children ranging in age from mid-teens to early-20s.
"I love my kids dearly, and I love Maria ... She has been truly the only love that I've ever had," Schwarzenegger told Piers Morgan in a September 2012 interview.
Since the split, Schwarzenegger, 64, has been busy reviving his acting career, signing movies deals -- including another installment of his "Terminator" series.
The actor and former world-class bodybuilder expressed deep regret for his actions while he touted his recent autobiography, "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story," which he said delves into both the good and the bad in his life.

Fairy Berries
Fairy Berries
Adult supervision required.
Keep uninflated balloons from children.
Discard broken balloons at once.
Fairy Berries can create a unique lighting scene at your party.These Fairy Berries will add a little fun sparkle to your event. Each package of the tiny lighted balls includes 10. Place these small 3/4 inch diameter clear balls everywhere around your party venue - on the lawn, in the garden, hanging from trees, shrubs and ceilings. The water resistant design allows the berries to float. Each one has a tiny glowing white LED that fades on and off slowly. Simply pull the tab on each Fairy Berry to activate (there is no actual on/off switch). Collectively, they produce a moving firefly or fairy light effect that is absolutely unique. Each fairy berry has a twenty plus hour life span and the batteries are replaceable with two CR-1220. Wire hangers or fishing line can be attached using the small recessed hook. Great for floral displays and table centerpiece enhancement.

Use the Fairy Berries on the serving table at a wedding reception. They were so intriguing that a small child collected them all. His pockets glowed. I am still working to get them back. They added the perfect touch to turn an indoor environment to an outdoor feel without the bugs and weather conditions.

I got these lights for a fairy theme party. They are very small and tend to get lost in the decorations but overall, cute. However, they need an on/off switch! Once you pull the battery tab out (and it doesn't go back in), it goes on for about 24 hours until the battery cell finally dies. Kind of annoying.

The fairy berries have an attractive firefly like, gradual on and off sequence, they glow in slowly and dim slowly rather than strobe which is a lovely effect. We hung them over a dance floor. Nothing bigger than fishing line can be strung through the small slit on the back half of the round case, to suspend the fairy berry. That gave the effect of them floating in the air when the fishing line became invisible in low light. The instructions say that they are not guaranteed to be water tight so, there is a risk to burning up an expensive little light by using in moisture. When first used, they have to be taken apart to remove the tab between the 2 batteries. There is not on off button so once the tab is removed, they are on until the batteries deplete. We removed the batteries after the first use to preserve the batteries. When removing the tab it is very easy to remove the clear colored, thin, rubber washer that helps with water protection. Volunteers did not notice those rubber rings falling out and several of the rubber washers were lost in the party setup. They require some work to open and start and that must be done close to the starting time of an event because of the short battery life (approx 20 hours according to manufacturer). They are small and getting the rubber washer back in, providing you don't loose it as you are removing the battery tab, is not easy. The effect is marvelous though.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A jury has recommended a judge sentence a man who raped and killed a young Sandusky mother before killing her two children to death.
The same jury that convicted Curtis Clinton of rape and murder last week told a judge they think he deserves to be put to death for his crimes on Tuesday.
Clinton was convicted of raping and strangling to death 23-year-old Heather Jackson, then raping and killing her 3-year-old daughter Celina and killing her 18-month-old son Wayne.
Clinton denied committing the crimes at the sentencing hearing on Tuesday.
The judge will make a final ruling on Clinton's sentence Thursday.

Going native
Like almost everyone else, I thought that I would end up living and working in a small village. However, I quickly realized in training that I preferred a larger site, and was placed in a small city that had everything one needs. The one drawback was not seeing the "culture," or how things were vastly different from the States.
I arrived to the point where I was preparing for COS and I was working in a mountain community and touched what I refer to as Honduran poison ivy. Actually, it is called yateveo and it attacked. In one day, I went from a littly itch, to blisters running down one arm. I was so far out of the way that I had no hope of getting medicine for a week (until I completed the work) and was miserable from the itch. I asked one teenager and she just said it was called, "I see you," and went along itching.
The next day, after constantly hitting my arm with my hip, I asked another person and he said I needed to mash up another plant and put it on my arm. Problem: I don't know plant names in English, let alone tropical plants in Spanish! After my look stating "What are you talking about?" he said someone could prepare it for me.
That night, a woman made me the mashed up leaves in water, and I finally had my moment. This was Honduras before Americanization came along, the backwoods, the real deal. Something that made my service complete.
Note: Later I returned to town and got a modern medicine which made the problem go away. One day the scar will go away, but I had my moment.

– Centre County state Rep. Scott Conklin announced the state Department of Community and Economic Development has designated the former Philipsburg Area Hospital site as a Keystone Opportunity Expansion Zone in Pennsylvania."What this does is open the door to the possibility of attracting future development at this site," Conklin said. "Keystone Opportunity Zones are geographic areas that stand to provide certain state and local tax benefits. The goal of the program is to revive economically distressed areas with one of the most powerful market-based incentives – eliminating taxes."
In February, Conklin helped pass legislation to allow unoccupied properties within KOZs and KOEZs to be extended for an additional 10 years past their 2013 expiration date. Under the law, zone incentives will be available until Dec. 31, 2022.
Conklin added KOEZs help develop Pennsylvania's abandoned, unused, underutilized land and buildings into business districts through a partnership between state and local government in collaboration with the departments of Community and Economic Development, Revenue and Labor and Industry. Zones are designated by the local communities and approved by the state.
"This local designation was made possible through the efforts of Rush Township and Centre County officials and the Philipsburg-Osceola School District," said Conklin. "As we look ahead, the goal is to create a bright future for this property and an opportunity for new jobs."

Surrounded by the love and care of her family and friends, Roslyn P. Holdzkom died at her home in Chapel Hill on July 12, 2013. Lynn was born in Brooklyn, NY, on December 15, 1946, the daughter of Robert and Bebe (Starr) Perper. When she was six, her family moved to East Meadow, Long Island, where the family grew by one with the addition of her brother Michael. Educated in the public schools of Long Island, Lynn began her university career at Queens College, City University of New York; she continued her studies at the University of Washington, from which she graduated in 1974. She married her husband David in November 1972, and they soon moved to Algeria, where they both taught at the University of Constantine.
Returning to the U.S. in 1976, Lynn and David settled in Washington, DC, where their son Nicholas was born. A series of moves over the next decade brought them to Chapel Hill, in 1985. Here, Lynn enrolled at the UNC School of Information and Library Science, earning an MLS degree in 1989. She worked as an archivist and technical services librarian at the Manuscripts Department of UNC's Wilson Library for most of her professional career, except for a one-year period when she was University Archivist at the University of Washington. Before her retirement in March 2013, Lynn was the Head of Special Collections Technical Services in the Wilson Library. She was elected a Fellow of the Society of American Archivists in 2013.
Lynn is survived by her husband David, by her son and daughter-in-law Nicholas and Elizabeth Holdzkom of Pittsburgh, PA, by her brother Michael Perper and his wife Donna of East Meadow, NY, and her niece Jamie and husband Adam Sharpe of Cary and her nephew Robert and wife Jayme of Merrick, NY. She leaves many friends who will cherish her memory and who provided many thoughtful kindnesses during her lifetime and during her last illness. Especially among these are Lynn's dear friends Lisa Tolbert of Greensboro, and Jan Paris of Chapel Hill.
The family wishes to thank and acknowledge the support of staff at the UNC Cancer Hospital, especially Dr. Mary W. Dunn, Dr. Kim Rathmell, and staff at UNC Hospice, especially Lynn's care-giver Emily Shaw. A memorial gathering will be conducted in the near future.

Telomere deregulations possess cytogenetic, phenotype, and prognostic specificities in acute leukemias.
CAPRARO, Valérie ; ; et al
in Experimental Hematology (2011), 39(2), 195-2022
OBJECTIVE: Telomeres are protected by tightly regulated factors and elongated by telomerase. Short and/or deprotected chromosomes are recombinogenic and thereby cancer prone. MATERIALS AND METHODS ... [more ▼]
OBJECTIVE: Telomeres are protected by tightly regulated factors and elongated by telomerase. Short and/or deprotected chromosomes are recombinogenic and thereby cancer prone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Together with the quantification of telomerase activity (TA), measuring telomere length (TL) and expression of the genes that govern telomere protection and elongation are useful for assessing telomere homeostasis. RESULTS: By these means we demonstrate that TL, hTERT, and TA are in the order acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) > T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) > B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) > T-ALL > AML, and B-ALL > AML > T-ALL. AML0 and AML3 display the lowest amounts of hTERT transcripts, and ALL and AML cells with cytogenetic abnormalities possess the shortest telomeres. hTERT expression includes phenotype-specific RNA maturation and correlates with TA but not with TL. A wide ratio of TA to hTERT expression between leukemia subtypes suggests phenotype-specific hTERT post-transcriptional deregulations. B- and T-ALL overexpress Ku70 and Pinx1, T-ALL PTOP and RAP1, and B-ALL TRF2, the expression of which is significantly higher in cases with abnormal karyotype. hTERT transcription and TL correlate with response to intensive chemotherapy, and hTERT and RAD50 are independent prognostic factors for survival. CONCLUSIONS: Each leukemia subtype possesses specific telomere dysregulations that rely on phenotype, karyotype, response to treatment, and survival. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 40 (9 ULg)

State Park Rangers all the way from California are in Fayette County this weekend hoping to take home some insight from Bridge Day. They said they heard about our event and want to have their own from California's highest bridge that stands almost 750 feet high.
The bridge they have in mind is the Forest Hill Bridge outside of Auburn, California. The rangers said they too want an event like Bridge Day to bring attention to their national park.
"It brings a lot of people to the park not necessarily to jump off the bridge but to do some of the other activities and visit the surrounding communities we have great white water recreation, we have incredible hiking trails," said Scott Liske.
The California rangers said they hope their first Bridge Day will happen by May 2016.

Tuesday, November 27, 2001 12:03 AM
My son died in the WTC disaster. He left a wife and three young children.
I have a real dilemma in answering the call for comments. It seems that
the government is not a non partial observer here, but conveniently, is
appointed to determine the compensation plan, and is suggesting to the
families of the victims to sign over their right to appeal. This seems to
be counter to all logic, I have always viewed the legal system to be, in
some degree, a matter of gamesmanship, who has the best lawyer wins. And
it seems that the government is advising the victims not to obtain counsel.
Am I incorrect in my observation? I am seriously asking this question, not
Shouldn't the victim's families have some idea of a dollar figure? What is
the reasonable expectation? I don't think that alot of time has to be
spent on form design here. There should be some straight forward method of
determining who victims and families are, if we can't figure this out, then
the whole process is brought to question.
What is Fair Compensation? Well, there are some precedents for this
question, what were the settlements in other disasters? How do they relate
to this one? Somehow I believe that the trauma of this horrific event
exceeds anything that we have experienced to date. It serves no purpose
now to assign blame, but security measures from an Airline and Government
poin of view were seriously lacking. Then there are issues with what I
perceive to be the government's position on reducing any award by any
collateral sources of income. My son chose to take the responsible route
and funded some security measures, this was a cost that he bore, and was a
factor in looking at possible alternatives to employment as it factored
into his salary requirements. Now to penalize his family for his
investment in insurance seems to send a message that says don't be fiscally
responsible, if you sacrifice (by purchasing insurance) you will just
provide justification for decreasing the amount of a settlement. Does a
family suffer less because they have insurance? I can tell you this isn't
the case at all.
Another quandry that I have is one of trust, frankly, in the Government, to
be really fair; this Airline legislation, why is no one worried about how
much money is being moved to the Airlines? There seems to be so much
concern about the money going to victim's families, where is this money
coming from, well, of course, it comes from the citizens. But it is
appropriated and managed by the Government, so the Government has this
commitment to fund the victims relief, but is it in their interest to
minimize the total payout? Won't it make their problem easier to find the
funds if the relief to the families are minimized? So now we have a
proposal to not go to court, to minimize the costs, the Government is the
author of this proposal. Is this fair or self-serving? I have seen our
Legal system work, it seems to be based on the adversarial system. Now we
are pushing to remove this adversary process. Did the Airlines not have
their lobbyists active during the legislative process? How was the dollar
amount of the bailout arrived at? Was there give and take by the
pro-Airline lobbyists and politicians? Was this as visible as the Victims
Relief issue?
There seems to be so many examples of civil cases where the original
settlement offers are fractions of what our Legal System finally judged to
be fair, will the Government offer be fair from the start? The Government
seems to have set itself up as the agent of the Airlines in this issue.
I would just like to be more confident that the proceedings will be fair.
I think more information is necessary to make a decision.

Sanford police on Wednesday arrested a man they are calling a dangerous criminal who is behind a recent string of shootings in the area.The search began Tuesday evening after officers were called to Orion Way for a report of a fight. Sanford Police Capt. James McAuliffe said Eric Menefee, 24, and Albert Thompson, 21, fled from officers after they were seen throwing two guns into a car."Turns out the vehicle that he threw the gun into was a stolen vehicle," said Capt. McAuliffe.Thompson was arrested shortly after the incident. Menefee was taken into custody around 3:30 p.m. in the area of Primera and Lake Mary Blvd. Capt. McAuliffe said Menefee is behind a string of shootings that occurred in Sanford in the last month involving AK47s.
Both Menefee and Thompson have been booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility. They were arrested on outstanding warrants, but authorities said additional drug and firearm charges are pending.

By GARY SCHATZAssociated Press
GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) - Adam Dunn hit a pair of RBI singles and the Chicago White Sox beat a split squad of Cincinnati Reds 4-3 Friday.
Dunn returned to the White Sox this week after attending the Academy Awards ceremony in California last weekend. He had a nonspeaking role in the Oscar-nominated "Dallas Buyers Club."
Dunn's first single came off Mike Leake, who was making his first spring start. Dunn later broke a 3-all tie in the fifth.
Jay Bruce homered in the Reds first off Felipe Paulino. Bruce added a double in the fifth and also made a throw from right field to cut down Jeff Keppinger at third base.
Aroldis Chapman pitched two innings for the Reds, allowing a run and two hits. He struck out three.

SALISBURY, Md. - In Salisbury, a building, notorious for housing prostitutes and drug dealers is a pile of rubble tonight. Contractors started tearing down the Thrift Travel Inn on Route 13 today. City officials condemned it three times and ordered the current owners to raze the hotel. All this after the former owner pleaded guilty to charges of human trafficking. Not to mention, the many times, the police and fire department have been called out to the property.
Chief Barbara Duncan, of the Salisbury Police Department, says "What this mans for us is we will no longer be dedicating police resources to respond here to investigate runaways, robberies, serious assaults, and domestic violence incidents." Officials say it will take about a week to demolish the entire building. Then, the owners, United Central Bank of Garland, will continue waiting for anyone interested in buying the land.
Before the demolition, Mayor Ireton released a statement saying "the Thrift Travel Inn has been a thorn in the City's side for years. It's been condemned multiple times and year after year it's been a huge draw on our City services, constituting 1500 calls for service to our city departments over its history. Departments that need to be focusing their efforts elsewhere throughout the City are relieved to see finally this property come down. I thank our Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance office for the fortitude that has gone into removing this blight from our City."

In a new video obtained by WIS, we get another glimpse at Tammy Parker's life as she performs with her band Jumpstart nearly 10 years ago.
The band's web site says her talent and showmanship was balanced with an amazing voice.From the oldies, to beach music. The band says Parker was "a down home country beauty queen" and on this particular fall night in 2003, her Gamecocks were playing on TV. Her love of Carolina, matching what's on display in the video, her love of people.
Her band mates saying, "One minute she'll be leading the Electric Slide, ad the next minute making grown men cry with a ballad."
A young mother to a little girl, in one of her last performances as a full time member of the band just before starting a new career in pharmaceuticals sales.
Still not knowing what would come in the years to come as she sang Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive."

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Highlights from the Federal Reserve's survey of economic conditions nationwide. The survey, released Wednesday and known as the Beige Book, is based on information collected from the Fed's 12 regional bank districts.
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and part of Connecticut.)
Economic conditions showed improvement. Most manufacturers said demand strengthened, with makers of semiconductors and related equipment reporting "sharp snapbacks." Merchants reported mixed sales results and are cautious about the outlook. Home and condo sales picked up, helped in part by the government's homebuyer tax credit. Signs of modest improvements in commercial real-estate activity reported.
(This region covers New York and parts of Connecticut and New Jersey.)
The economy flashed further signs of strengthening, despite some slowing in the housing market. Many manufacturers planned to increase employment and capital spending in the months ahead. Retailers mostly reported sales ahead of expectations, although some said February's severe snowstorms did slow business. Tourism activity in New York City picked up before the bad weather but was crimped when the storms hit. Both the residential housing and the commercial real-estate markets softened. Banks reported weaker demand for all types of loans and rising delinquency rates mostly for consumer loans.
(This region covers Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.)
Economic conditions improved in some places. Factories reported widespread increases in shipments and new orders. Retailers, however, said a rising sales trend was interrupted by February's snowstorms. Similar reports came from car dealers, residential real-estate agents and home builders. Across industries, businesses say they expect only slow improvements in sales in the months ahead.
(This region covers Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky.)
The economy showed signs of improvement, although activity still remains below pre-recession levels. Factories said production was stable or rose modestly, and orders increased. Steel shipments were in line with expectation. Freight companies reported an increase in shipping volume. A majority of retailers said sales improved slightly from a year ago. Shoppers continued to focus on buying necessities. New-home sales picked up slightly.
(This region covers Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and parts of West Virginia.)
Economic activity slackened or remained soft across most industries because of severe winter storms. Retail sales - with the exceptions of items like food - were weaker. Big-ticket sales, including cars, dropped sharply. The bad weather also hurt sales at service companies, with airports, hotels and restaurants feeling the pinch. Many manufacturers lost a few days of production during the storms but were able to make up most of the lost activity. The housing sector was mixed, with bad weather limiting activity in many areas. The jobs market weakened.
(This region covers Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and parts of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.)

- O3 nice location next to cpucTakawongDined on 8/27/2014Nice Thai resturant on Van Ness near City Hall and CPUC. Very good lunch meal. Very reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely lunchOldenGoldieDined on 8/15/2014There were 4 of us for lunch, and we ordered an appetizer, a soup, a salad, and an entree. It was the perfect amount of food, but I should mention that we are all older and don't have huge appetites. All the food was really good, but our favorite was the crispy shrimp rolls and the yellow curry with chicken. Even at "medium" hot, the papaya salad was a little hotter than we like. Suggest getting it "mild" if you are not used to hot pepper. All the staff was very attentive. Will definitely be back.Special Features:
- Friendly service.kathyVIPDined on 7/24/2014Went here prior to the symphony . Friendly helpful staff. Good suggestions. Liked the pad Thai . Lamb was excellent though their mild can be spicier than I'm used to. My new favorite per show place. Definitely get the Happy hour appetizersSpecial Features:
- Pre show spotkathyVIPDined on 7/22/2014Fun place. Accommodating staff. Tasty food, which can be spicey. There was a work party during the first part of my dinner- got pretty noisy. Requested a change in location, and it was quickly done. Terrific place for a performance meal, 1 block from the opera house and symphoneySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MmmmmmpaulonceDined on 7/19/2014The food was everything Yelp said it would be. The service was so-so, but the food was right on the money. I got a salmon pot curry thats spicy level was set to medium and it was perfect! The shrimp fried rolls were great too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TERRIBLE SERVICE...FAIL!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/8/2014We had reservations at 6pm. When we arrived there were about 4 other tables in our section (not busy at all). After we were seated no one ever came to take our drink orders or anything. Not even to say I'll be right with you...I mean NOTHING!! After 20+ minutes of waiting, I finally said something to the lady running around and she said someone will be right there. Another 10 minutes passed before we gave up and walked out. I have to also mention that while we waited, there was very little action at the other tables around us.
- Slowwwww servicesingyDined on 7/8/2014The food was good however service was terrible. Only 2 girls working the whole restaurant. They are listed on the SF Opera website - so why not make sure you have enough staff to cover when a performance night
- 03 Bistro dinner reviewsnodinehereDined on 7/5/2014The spicy eggplant was tasteless and the brown rice wasn't good either. I would not recommend this place.Special Features:
- Great foodMorticiaDined on 7/3/2014Since I work in the area I'm lucky I get to come to this restaurant pretty often. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The staff is friendly, the place is clean and roomy and for an hour I can forget it's in the Civic Center area. They have a full bar too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost thereHubbieDined on 7/2/2014We had 4 dishes; 3 were excellent: Appetizer platter, Mango salad, Coconut shrimp curry. Unfortunately, the chicken was tough and not tender in the Cashew Chicken dish, although the sauce was fine. The service was attentive and anticipated needs. The atmosphere was modern chic. Will try again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PhoobahDined on 6/28/2014As first time visitors we had a wonderful experience. The food was simply splendid. The flavors were astonishing. Portions were very generous. Service was excellent. The food was the best I have had since my visit to Thailand. 03 is the "go to" restaurant for splendid Thai food in SF. We will return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- crispanVIPDined on 6/26/2014Delicious Thai food, much better than the usual run of dishes. An excellent selection and friendly service, reasonable prices.Special Features:
- Delicious, Close to Orpheum, etc.KJSFVIPDined on 6/25/2014We found this restaurant because we had a group of six and wanted to eat around 5:30 nefar the Orpheum. We could not get a reservation at any of the Hayes Street restaurants we tried. So we went here. It was an easy walk to the Orpheum and to Civic Center BART. The food was very good and reasonably priced.Special Features:
- ybrob24VIPDined on 6/21/2014Food was solid and very good service. Clearly optimized for the show crowd
- Very good Thai food! Large portionssrreviewerDined on 6/21/2014We ate dinner at O3 Bistro before the opera on a Saturday night. We were seated right away and received good service. I thought the food was very good. We had papaya salad, a red curry dish and the Spicy Dice. Great flavors, though the salad was a little salty for my taste. The service was good and they were happy to modify the spiciness of the food for us. The only real negative thing was that the my first two choices of wine on their list were out so I went with my third choice. It was not good at all. It had not been stored well. My partners wine did not taste good either so I would avoid wine there and have one of their pretty cocktails.
- Excellent!XyrkolDined on 6/21/2014My crab fried rice was delicious and my chicken satay was perfectly done. My friend's seafood soup was wonderful. We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It has changed in the last yearOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/11/2014I preferred this restaurant when it was more of an Asian fusion. Now it is strictly Thai. I love Thai food and this is fairly good Thai food. I liked the Chicken larb wrap, the pad see ew, but we ordered a dish the waitress recommended the Thai "Southern Style" Beef. The meat was very tough. Flavor if the dish was good but you really couldn't enjoy because of the poor quality of the meat. The two people waiting at our table were very nice but one was fairly new. The location is convenient to go to the Opera afterwards.
- Wash windowsLollyDined on 6/11/2014Do that! and wash the lovely glass vases in the entry.Special Features:
- Good pre-concert restaurantHungryDined on 6/7/2014Our roast duck curry (spicy) and mixed seafood dish were both delicious. Service was attentive and quick.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for pre-concert dinnerMizKatzVIPDined on 6/3/2014We dined here for the first time before going to the opera. The decor and ambiance are lovely -- an interesting transition from the former California Pizza Kitchen. We shared the fresh spring rolls, spicy eggplant and pumpkin curry with shrimp, and one order of coconut rice. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. My only issue with the pumpkin curry is that it was served in a hollowed-out and carved kabocha squash, and while it was a very artistic presentation, I could only think of 'food waste' -- something that needs to be addressed as more people become food-insecure. However, I do recommend this restaurant and will definitely dine here again.Special Features:
- Excellent food at affordable pricesFoodEDined on 5/29/2014If you like Thai food this is the place. Great before symphony or opera as it is very conveniently located in the Civic Center area.Special Features:
- after the shows startOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/10/2014A lovely experience, and very available after the Ballet etc starts. food and presentation very nice, with good service. Bar could use a little professional tuning up, i.e an experienced bartender.Special Features:
- Perfect for Ballet NightluvSFlifeDined on 5/9/2014O3 is the perfect spot for a good dinner before the ballet, the opera, or the symphony. It is conveniently located a block away from the venues and offers efficient service and good food. I have always had a good experience in the restaurant. Very friendly and efficient staff and food that is priced well and delicious.Special Features:
- The following 264 reviews are from the O3 Bistro & Lounge reviews archive.
- Pre-Show DiningBonvivantDined on 5/3/2014O3 is very close to the symphony, ballet, and opera venues. The staff was attentive and the food arrived without too much of a time lapse. When our server couldn't identify the vintner of the house wine, she got the information for us before we ordered, and she accurately identified the level of the spicyness in our orders. We had sizzling seafood, papaya salad, and a pumpkin curry with 2 kinds of rice. The food was good; my only objections was that the pumpkin was undercooked, but not enough to completely undermine the dish. This was my second visit and I would still recommend 03, especially for a pre-performance meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a good placeSfo13Dined on 4/16/2014This place is close to Tenderloin, not a good place to have dinner.Special Features:
- Too noisyoakladyVIPDined on 4/11/2014They were having some kind of office party in one half of the restaurant but still serving dinner in the other half. The noise was deafining and we almost left. The service was not great, either, and the food was slow coming out. This is my second time here and I will not return
- The service was prompt, efficiency,OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 4/10/2014The service was prompt, efficiency, but friendly. The food was delivered in a timely manner and with attention to the timing we wanted for the different courses. The food was very good and nicely presented. I asked for the medium spice level, but I found that was a bit too hot. Next time I'll ask for a milder spice level. Given some of the reviews especially about the level of service, I was anticipating problems, but the overall dining experience was really quite good.Special Features:
- Great food, mediocre serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/2/2014Food was really good. But the waitresses were really really slow... Took over a half our to get a drink. And the bathrooms are ridiculous. You have to walk through a weird alley way with creepy construction guys there. Did not like that. Happy hour menu online was not the same as the happy hour they had in the restaurant or bar. That was annoying because I had planned out what I wanted ahead of time because we were in a rush. The mussels they served made our table smell like a homeless man which was gross and luckily we were almost done so we could leave. A for the food and the location but other than that it was mediocre. Probably won't go back.
- Good for happy hourOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/31/2014Decent bar at good prices. Food was decent and fast but service was not.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad ServiceDisappointedDined on 3/28/2014The service was so bad it was annoying. Appetizers were tasteless and greasy - chicken wings and shrimp. My lamb was a hockey puck, companion's pork was so hot it was uneatable. Why are there TV's everywhere - totally doesn't go with the ambience, which is nice? Nope - not for me.
- Big Portions for LunchDavenMarquishaDined on 3/21/2014We recently celebrated a retirement/birthday lunch at O3, and had a very good time. The food came up quickly, was hot, and the portion sizes were huge. So come hungry for lunchSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food Poor ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 3/15/2014I attended O3 wih a group of friend's prior to a show. While th food was good the servie was poor. Our beverages were not refilled, this included water. We brough bottles of wine and was charged a corkage fee but had to pour our own bottles. Needless to say, I will not return to the establishmet
- Unexpectedly terrific foodGustyVIPDined on 3/11/2014We were there at 11:00 a.m. for a very early lunch, not quite sure what to expect. What we didn't expect, though, was the freshness of the food, the abundance of food on the plate, the wonderful seasonings, the serene atmosphere. This is a bistro to be highly recommended for any occasion, but especially before or after a performance at the nearby venues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good pre-concert spot for dinnerchaia9Dined on 3/10/2014Pleasant ambiance, good food and service and convenient for pre-concert activities near civic center.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfortunate & inexperiencedDinerSFVIPDined on 3/7/2014Having been here several times, I can only say that things have gone downhill. Mostly around the service, knowledge, experience and front of the house. The food is still good, but pricey for the level of service that comes with it. From the host to the bartender to our server, I felt like I was at a kids place vs. a nicer restaurant where our bill was $110. Our server knew nothing about the menu, made no attempt to explain anything when we asked and never showed up after food was placed at our table. We weren't able to find anyone to order a second drink, desert was not offered, and it was as if we just needed to leave-so we did! For the area & for the decent food, this is a good place, but don't expect experienced staff or quality service.
- Beautiful place, very good foodCharVIPDined on 2/28/2014Gorgeous modern place. Lots of choices on menu. Everything we ate was very good. (Not exceptional enough for 5 stars -- but no complaints.) Service staff tried hard -- some problems with English. Very convenient to Davies Hall and the Opera House. We'll be back again.Special Features:
- LackingDnkyDined on 2/22/2014Shocked to see the host wearing jeans and an untucked shirt. Fish sauce smell wafted through the air. Not pleasant. The waitresses were very sweet, however jeans should be banned from a restaurant that is trying to be top notch. The food was okay. Portions are large. Honey Duck was a huge disappointment. Had that previously cooked and warmed up poultry flavor. Yellow curry was okay. NASTY restrooms. Had to walk past the kitchen which was a tummy-turning sight. Not what I expected for a dinner before the symphony.
- Second visit-- still terrific foodMichelleVIPDined on 2/20/2014Everything out of that kitchen is exceptional and the portions are generous. My only "dings" on my first visit were that the wine pours were on the small side (they we're definitely bigger pours this time) and they had the tvs on in what otherwise was a swanky dining area(fortunately the tvs are only on in the bar now, not the dining area!) so everything was terrific. This is now our "go to" place any time we are going to Davies Hall!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pre-theater spotchurdDined on 2/15/2014My husband and I both loved on our meal at O3, as did the folks sitting next to us...and we all had completely different things. The noodle soup was full of flavor and perfectly cooked strips of chicken breast. The pumpkin curry was more subtly flavored but also scrumptious. Presentation also was really nice, from a giant asymmetrical bowl for my noodle soup to the gourd in which my husband's curry was served. Decor was nice, but not stuffy. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive without being too in your face. One problem, though: two giant TV screens in the dining area. Fine for the bar, but the dining room? Really diminishes what's otherwise a very nice interior. Also, the location is very good for pre-Symphony or pre-Ballet dining.Special Features:
- tasty!cookiesDined on 2/14/2014We have dined here twice and loved the food. The husband says the duck noodle soup is the best he has ever had. The medium curries are delicious and full of tender chicken or seafood,and crispy veggies with broth rich with coconut milk flavor. Happy hour bar during the week seemed popular. We tried a desert of fried ice cream - basically a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream wrapped in a crispy, sugary dough that resembles a doughnut. What is not to like about doughnuts and ice cream? attentive service without hovering. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When Ed Herman accepted a catch-weight (194 pounds) bout with former Strikeforce 185-pound champion, Ronaldo Souza, "Short Fuse" became the first and only Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter to participate in a one-off, cross-promotional bout.
Not too many of Herman's peers saw the upside in competing in a "lesser" organization against a very dangerous Brazilian jiu-jitsu stylist. And now The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 3 runner up knows the reason for the widespread reluctance.
"Jacare" and Herman exchanged punches early at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Okla., with the Brazilian getting the better of the exchanges. He soon scored a takedown and began to unleash some ground and pound. Herman responded with several illegal upkicks, which forced the referee to call for a break in the action.
Upon the restart, Souza nailed Herman with a punch, backed him up to the fence, picked him up and dumped him on the mat. At this point it was academic: "Jacare" attacked Herman's arm almost immediately, twisting it awkwardly behind his back to force a tapout via submission (kimura).
Alligator chomp!

Town Square
Ask questions at the polls and read the paper receipt!!
Original post made by Concerned about Electronic Voting on Nov 7, 2006
Okay, maybe I did inadvertently vote for AS (although I am 99% sure I didn't), shouldn't it have been an easier, more straightforward process to make the change? Shouldn't the poll worker know how to work the machine? Why was the manager so quick to put it on me, instead of recognizing that their process was cumbersome to say the least? What if I didn't already have a basic understanding of computers or the wherewithal to keep asking until I got my question answered?
And, I worked as a poll worker for a couple of elections, and we were not instructed how to deal with this, so I know it wasn't an aberration that the first person didn't know how to do this.
Get rid of electronic voting!
on Nov 7, 2006 at 1:58 pm
I would like to see all states go to voting by mail, as Oregon (and I believe Washington state) has done. It provides more time, is more convenient, and is far less susceptible to large-scale fraud.
Electronic voting systems are COMPUTING systems - there will ALWAYS be a possibility that they will be hacked. There is simply noe way to avoid this, unless we do away with electronic voting.
For emphasis: Voting fraud has ALWAYS occurred in American elections - to some small degree. As well, it's always been the case than a very small percentage of cast ballots never made it to the final count. I would rather live with the former than worry about someone hacking systems state by state, precinct by precinct, to slectively cull and add votes in systematic ways that literally change the nature of our democracy. The latter is what we're facing with electronic voting.
Last, we'd better do something about gerrymandering, because it's probably hte most toxic thing we've dome to our democracy, especially in that last 10-15 years.

here's another example of my concern

Electronic voting is quickly approaching the level of fiasco. Do away with it!

I think it would be fairly easy to "fat-finger" an incorrect vote on the touch-screen voting machines. I tapped the screen with the end of a pen just to make sure I hit the right spot.
The directions to change a vote were right on the screen though. I think that some people are upset by the technology before even facing it, so they rush ahead and assume the machine is trying to cut them out of the voting process.
Just take a breath, relax, and read the instructions. And next election, put yourself on the list as a permanent absentee so you can avoid the machines entirely.
