The first moment we stepped onto the resort we were greeted 'Welcome Home' and that is what this vacation felt like. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, always asking if they could be of assistance. We stayed at the preferred club Wild Orchid which is stituation on a wonderful beach. No need to worry about chairs on the beach or at the pool. There are chairs and sun beds available any time of the day. The restaurants offered a wide variety of high quality food, great service and very accommodating to your personal requests. Personally I like the Italian and French restaurants best. The perferred club is well worth the additional money. The building is a little more isolated, away from the main resort, quieter and the tub on the balcony was wonderful. Overall I would recommend this resort to anyone looking to get away with their partner. Thank you to all of the staff at Wild Orchid and St. James for your dedication to your guests. Can't wait to be 'Welcomed Home' again.

My husband and I returned here for our first anniversary this month! We we married on the beach here last year! The grounds are beautiful and absolutely immaculate! Our housekeeper was wonderful and we always had the most beautiful towel arrangements on our super comfortable bed at the end of the day! The water is beautiful and the people are all so friendly. It is so peaceful sitting on our deck in the morning with my coffee listening and watching the ocean! On our our favorite places was the swim up bar, great people and great bartenders! Especially Andrew!!! The best food is at the Japanese Restaurant. There was always food and drinks in the lobby morning, noon and night! 24 hour room service is great too! We miss you guys! Maybe we will be back someday! If you are reading this review, you must go check it out!

Service was very good.
Lifeguards didn't do a good job changing the sailing schedule with the weather. There was an over cast from 1-4 on Friday and Saturday. Then they closed at 4:30, so we never got to sail. One day of Jamaican food was not enough.It was an older Hilton, but well kept.

Seaborne set for Cherries loan
10:54am Thursday 17th January 2013 in Sport By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
Saints defender Dan Seaborne is set to join Cherries on loan until the end of the season.
The centre half was on the bench at Stamford Bridge last night for the 2-2 draw with Chelsea but is due to link up with Bournemouth today.
Seaborne, 25, has made just three Saints appearances this season, all in the Capital One Cup.
He recently returned from a loan spell at Charlton, and it now appears will be bidding to help Cherries, who are seventh in League One, with their promotion push.

You borrow a coin which they sign. You hand them a packet of crisps and you throw the coin at the bag. They hear the coin, they feel the coin BUT they don't see the coin. You ask them to shake the crisps packet and this time they feel that it is heavier. They open the bag and inside they find their signed coin!

The Symposium, underwritten by the Brigham & Women's Hospital Breast Cancer Quality of Life Program, was chaired by Dr. Carolyn Kaelin, who welcomed guests and noted that BCRF's identification of scientific talent was never better epitomized than by the award to Dr. Folkman.
She introduced BCRF Scientific Director, Larry Norton, MD, who set the tone for the panel discussion by calling attention to BCRF's unique role in the breast cancer research community. BCRF seeks out the very best and most talented people with demonstrated ability to conduct creative scientific research aimed at translation to improved human health. Dr. Norton remembered Dr. Folkman as his "personal hero" whose creative ideas were derived from clinical experience, who showed intellectual courage in standing by his ideas even when they were challenged or met with skepticism, and who steadfastly continued his research over the course of a long and productive career. Dr. Folkman's creativity and determination are particularly important to remember during a time of uncertain economic forecasts which may cause scientific conservatism at the expense of innovation and exploration.
BCRF Scientific Advisory Committee Chairman Clifford Hudis, MD, introduced the four panelists and noted the interconnectedness of their work, particularly fitting as BCRF expects and encourages collaboration among its grantees. Each speaker remarked on the inclination to share findings and build on others' discoveries that is a hallmark of the BCRF research community. Marsha Moses, PhD (Children's Hospital and Harvard), who worked directly with Judah Folkman for many years, spoke of her laboratory's ongoing search for the "switch" that activates dormant cancers by allowing them to induce new blood vessel formation and she reported that BCRF funding is also enabling her group to work on the development of non-invasive, painless and inexpensive tests that will identify breast cancer biomarkers.
Stuart Schnitt, MD (Beth Israel Deaconess and Harvard), spoke of his group's efforts to further identify the subtypes of breast cancer which develop in women with the mutations in the genes for breast cancer (BRCA).
Andrea Richardson, MD, PhD (Dana-Farber, Brigham & Women's and Harvard), described a few of the many BCRF research collaborations that have emerged from her studies of breast tissue, and described her group�s search for more effective therapies for those women whose genetic make-up cause their cancers to be resistant to traditional forms of chemotherapy.
William Kaelin, Jr., MD (Dana-Farber and Harvard), recalled that it was a publication by Dr. Folkman in the 1980s which inspired him to focus on cancer research. Dr. Kaelin spoke about the rapid technological developments which not only have brought about the ability to quickly and inexpensively sequence all of the human genome, but also present challenges: scientists who are confronted with many gene mutations must determine which of those are critical to cancer�s evolution and growth and which are merely "along for the ride".
After a spirited question and answer session with the audience, BCRF Founder and Chairman Evelyn H. Lauder closed the symposium by noting that the brilliance of BCRF-funded scientists inspires the BCRF community to persevere in raising funds to enable them to continue their research and bring us all closer to not only a cure for breast cancer, but prevention of the disease.

Garden waste collections suspended as refuse crews battle to work through backlog caused by bad weather (From Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News)

Garden waste collections suspended as refuse crews battle to work through backlog caused by bad weather
Updated 2:31pm Friday 25th January 2013 in News
GARDEN waste collections are being suspended in Taunton Deane, Mendip and South Somerset from today (January 25) to help crews catch up with collections disrupted by the recent bad weather.
Somerset Waste Partnership's managing director Steve Read is asking residents to be patient as collection crews continue to work extra hours to sort out the backlog.
He said: "We have faced days of disruption due to the bad weather and are now having to suspend garden waste collections from Friday, January 25, in Mendip, Sedgemoor and Taunton Deane.
"Quantities of garden waste being put out have been very low and these collection crews and vehicles will be much more effective in helping clear any backlog of missed refuse collections.
"Scheduled garden waste services should resume within two weeks, so we expect those with these paid-for collections to miss only one collection."
Householders are reminded that in bad weather, refuse and recycling should continue to be put out by 7am on usual collection days.
If missed due to bad weather, recycling should remain out by 7am for up to three working days and refuse by 7am for up to five working days.
If still missed after that, the waste should be taken in and put back out on the next usual collection day, where it will be picked up along with all extra materials.
Full information on current services and catch-up arrangements are posted on Somerset Waste Partnership's website at www.somersetwaste.gov.uk

The Oregon Ducks came out looking like they wouldn't allow a USC Trojans yard all night, but a 59-yard touchdown scamper by freshman Marqise Lee put a stop to all that. For reference, the Trojans have 68 total yards.
Head here for USC-Oregon score updates and conversation.
Oregon's offense hasn't gotten a whole lot going either, putting up 33 yards before reaching a fourth-and-eight conversion attempt in USC turf. The effort resulted in a dropped screen pass, and we might be looking at another of those slow starts by the Ducks.
That's the kind of thing that flies against lower competition, but USC's defense looks every bit as motivated as Oregon's has. We'll see if the Trojans can keep the pressure on as this game progresses.

Note: For a complete list of my favorite films of 2010, please visit my wholly deficient list over at criticWIRE.
Obligatory Repetitive Introduction
In the past, in lieu of ranking movies and being held hostage by the dissonance between the film release calendar and my own experience of the ebb and flow of filmgoing, I have listed my favorite cinematic experiences of the year. I want to get back to that; as the way in which I get to watch movies and talk about them continues to diversify, as the idea of cinematic experience expands to multiple devices, formats, cities, communities, I think this list is here to stay. The age of the theatrical release calendar is dead for me; we're living in a new time, where the movies can be found in every area of life, from online conversations to your home entertainment system, the back of a car seat to a projection screen at a restaurant, your phone to a portable tablet. So, I am going back to my old model, probably for good; over the next ten days, I'll be posting my Top 10 Cinematic Experiences of 2010. Not necessarily films (although sometimes), these are the experiences that defined my year in film culture. Subjectivity alert!
2. Blue Valentine at Sundance
No moviegoing experience in 2010 came close to the electricity of seeing Derek Cianfrance's Blue Valentine at Sundance this past January. Unfortunately, or perhaps amazingly, that experience happened at the very start of the year; nothing in the intervening months has had the same impact on me as a film viewer. I loved a lot of movies this year and had a great time watching many, many films, but there was something about Blue Valentine that connected with me. Bad break-ups? Regrets? The overwhelming desire to be needed by someone? The inability to stop making things worse when I am trying to make them better? Blue Valentine describes a very specific type of romantic experience; the immature, pathological attempt to convince someone who has given up on you to give things one more chance, to convince them of the possibility of change, to try to rebuild a broken relationship on the idea of how things should be, on how real your feelings are, on a shared history that grows ever distant in the rear view mirror of real life.
No one is doing better work on screen than Michelle Williams. No one.
I've certainly been there. I haven't always been the best partner, the best lover, the best possible friend. I carry around my own regrets inside of me and I see my present day actions, from arguments and frustrations to joys and celebrations, as a continuum of lessons learned. The experience of personal history is a deeply private thing, so loaded with context and change that it is probably indescribable, so to see a film that examines the fabric of a relationship in this way, this honestly and deeply, was beyond my wildest fantasies. In the internet age, every movie receives a backlash; some critics and filmgoers don't buy into the film's structure, it's on-the-nose transitions between the past and the present, it's overriding sense of sadness. Take this, from A.O. Scott's review this past week, which makes the (I believe fatal) mistake of focusing on form over feeling:
"Cindy and Dean remain, for all their sustained agony and flickering joy, something less than completely realized human beings. Mr. Cianfrance's ingenious chronological gimmick, coupled with his anxious, clumsy plotting, leaves them without enough oxygen to burst into breathing, loving life. A recent German film called Everyone Else directed by Maren Ade (and released in the United States this year), shows, with minimal embellishment and absolute honesty, how potentially fatal fissures begin to develop within a young couple's relationship. Blue Valentine mystifies the emotional logic that Ms. Ade presents with bracing clarity and leaves its audience, along with poor Cindy and Dean, in a muddle of hurt feelings and vague disappointments."
Despite my agreement with the assessment of the amazing Everyone Else (and my own vague disappointment with making a comparison between two films as if both could not be great at what they do) I couldn't disagree more with the premise here; the narrative strategy of Blue Valentine is to keep us close to the emotional reality of Dean and Cindy as their relationship dissolves. If we're honest with ourselves, who among us is an articulate advocate for their own feelings at the moment when everything seems to be falling apart? To expect the film to use the couple's slow crawl toward divorce as nimbly as a young couple who is dating (ala Everyone Else), a couple without nearly the same history and baggage, is a little bit like when people with pets want to compare notes with me about being a father; yes, I'm sure going home every five hours to walk your dog is a drain, but really, you have no idea. What makes Everyone Else work as a film is precisely the lack of gravity in the relationship; the emotional explosions of Everyone Else are juxtaposed against the couple's ability to break apart and reassemble moment to moment, feeling to feeling. Blue Valentine works in the opposite way, utilizing the depth of the couple's long-term romantic connection as the source of tragedy for the relationship's slow, terrible dissolution. Both films feel real, both valuable, terrific cinema, and neither should be used to diminish the other.
It's All Downhill From Here...
Writing about the film at Sundance, I said:
"Who hasn't stood broken hearted, in the arms of the one you love, desperately aware that it's all over?... I had plenty of conversations with younger, otherwise thoughtful friends and colleagues who dismissed the film for one reason or another ("The more I think about it, the more I'm souring on it," one told me), but I look at that reaction as a sort of optimistic line in the sand; one day, maybe not long from now, maybe years down the road, you're going to be staring down the end of a relationship, suddenly and shockingly aware that every word, every gesture, every action is inadequate to repair the damage of every previous word, gesture and action. You'll open your mouth to say something, to provide yourself some closure, and maybe you'll remember this; the movie was real all along. It's just that your experience of love wasn't."
Ryan Gosling kills it in this role. Again.
In the intervening months, as the film was slapped with an NC-17 which was subsequently repealed, Blue Valentine became something of a cause for me, a movie that I felt demanded to be seen by a wide audience. As it now has started making its way into the marketplace, I hope it catches fire. Today's indieWIRE report gives me hope:
"Nearly a year after its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, The Weinstein Company finally released Derek Cianfrance's Michelle Williams-Ryan Gosling relationship drama Blue Valentine, and the results suggested it was well worth the wait. Coming off a controversial NC-17 rating, and subsequent appeal to the MPAA, which reversed itself to give the film an R rating, "Valentine" debuted on 4 screens to a not-so-blue $180,066. That made for an excellent $45,017 per-theater-average, making "Valentine" one of only eight 2010 limited releases to debut to $40,000+ PTAs (the others were "Black Swan," "The King's Speech," "The Fighter," "The Kids Are All Right," "127 Hours," "The Ghost Writer," and "Cyrus"). The film will expand significantly January 14th."
I hope audiences and awards organizations wake up and recognize what we have here; I think this movie is unlike anything that's been made in America in a long, long time. When you feel something as deeply as I felt watching Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling breaking into pieces, you just don't forget it. Blue Valentine forever.

I saw this at Sundance as well and lost interest half-way through. I agree whole heartedly with the critic you cite. I think that the end analysis results in a film that is ultimately misogynistic as Cindy is portrayed in myriad of degrading sexual positions as she attempts to get ahead by screwing the better catch and then when a man is no longer useful she dumps him for the next one that suits her immediate needs.
I wish that the movie would have been more, but it's not. It's just not and no amount of analysis can get past the lack of Cindy's development and the resulting conclusion of her character. If she had been given an arc as Dean was the conclusion could have been different, maybe.

Du Plessis finished unbeaten on 78 and guided crucial partnerships of 57 with Robin Peterson (31) and 64 with Vernon Philander (28) to lift South Africa out of serious trouble at 75-6 after winning the toss.
Australia reached 33-2 in the 11 overs before stumps, with David Warner unbeaten on 12 and nightwatchman Nathan Lyon 5 not out.
Ricky Ponting, playing his 168th and last Test match, waited in the pavilion for 22 minutes after Lyon went in at the fall of Watsons wicket.
The Australian reply started badly when Dale Steyn removed Ed Cowan (0) on the third ball of the innings and Philander picked up his first wicket in the series when he got an lbw decision against Shane Watson (10) on a referral, overturning umpire Asad Raufs initial not out call, as the hosts slumped to 18-2.
A dozen wickets fell in two clusters on a fast, bouncy WACA pitch when conditions were overcast in the morning and evening sessions.
Lyon was the unexpected contributor for Australia, with his offspin delivering 3-41 for a new-look bowling attack missing all three pacemen who played in the first two drawn Tests.
Mitch Starc, who was 12th man in Brisbane and Adelaide, took two big wickets immediately before lunch and another left-armer, Mitchell Johnson, returned 2-54 in his first Test in a year.
The pacemen were on top early and South Africa was in a desperate position after losing five wickets for 14 runs before allrounder Peterson and then Philander helped du Plessis resurrect the innings.
Philander batted aggressively, hitting a big six off Lyon and two boundaries before he skied the Australia offspinner to Mike Hussey, who took a well-judged catch at deep mid-on. Steyn (2) chopped a delivery from Johnson onto his stumps to make it 206-9.
Morne Morkel (17) stroked four boundaries off Johnson before he miscued Lyon to John Hastings at mid-on to end the innings.
Du Plessis was again the big obstacle for the Australian bowlers four days after he batted through the final day and finished unbeaten on 110 to save the second Test on debut at Adelaide on Monday. He has 266 runs in three innings, and 188 since his last dismissal, after earning his call up when JP Duminy was injured in a training accident after the opening day of the first Test at Brisbane.
He batted for seven hours in his second innings in Adelaide and was unbeaten again in 3 hours, 15 minutes on Friday, facing 142 balls and hitting 12 boundaries after going to the crease with his team reeling at 67-5 in the 28th over.
The South Africans started the Test positively after winning the toss and had only lost skipper Graeme Smith (16) as they progressed to 61-1 before Starc struck twice to make it 63-3 at lunch when he bowled opener Alviro Peterson (30) and Jacques Kallis (2) with swinging deliveries.
Hashim Amla (11) had a reprieve five balls after lunch when Cowan put down a regulation chance off Hastings bowling. But he was out next over, without adding to his score, when he was run out at the strikers end by David Warners direct hit.
Hastings got a ball to swing out and late in his next over and picked up his first Test wicket when AB de Villiers (4) edged to Clarke at slip and South Africa slumped to 67-5.
Dean Elgar faced 12 balls on debut before attempting to pull a sharply rising ball from Johnson and top-edging down leg side to wicketkeeper Matthew Wade, and Lyon ended the seventh-wicket stand when he had Peterson caught behind while attempting a cut shot.
South Africa needs only to draw the Perth Test to retain the No. 1 Test ranking. Australia needs a win to replace the tourists at No. 1 and has extra motivation for winning after Ponting announced this match would be his last.
Brief Scores: South Africa 225 all out (Faf du Plessis 78 n.o, R Petersen 31, N Lyon 3/41, M Johnson 2/51) vs Australia 33/2 (D Warner batting 12, V Philander 1/8)

The only redeeming quality was the room stewards and wait staff, on the 2nd and 3rd leg. The first leg's wait staff was rude,, insulting and incompetent. Anytime a waiter replies to you, "You rich people with all your money!" One member of our table complained because the waiter never gave us a 2nd glass or water, more bread or the correct order and the waiter argued back with her. He spent his time flirting with two women at a nearby table. However, Geoffrey and Vladimir, more than made up for this on our next legs of the cruise.
The cruise director was a font of misinformation on any subject you could ask him about.
I had promised myself after my last disastrous cruise on the Paradise, when it was still in the Caribbean, that I would never go on a Carnival ship again. I should have kept my promise. On that cruise gangs of young toughs roamed the ship intimidating their fellow passengers-swearing at them and pushing them. I complained and was told, "they are passengers too!"
I believe all Carnival needed to do was ask advice from her fellow cruise ships that had been around the Horn, and she could have avoided most of the flagrant incompetence that we experienced.
I love cruising, but never again on Carnival, not the fun ship but the dumb ship!!

Resistance, Resiliency, or Reinvention: Choosing Your Path
Change happens. Markets change, organizations change, people change. Our responses to these changes vary-- sometimes we dig in our heels and resist the change. Sometimes we bounce right back. Still other times we do more than bounce back and use the change as a springboard. The first step in this workshop will be to look back on your responses to previous changes. Then we will look at changes happening now and in the near future and how you can change or even accelerate on the path you choose. Learn more
Wines From Around the World
This program consists of three classes. In the first class, we'll explore and taste a variety of Chardonnay (oaked and unoaked) and compare them to Sauvignon Blancs. The "horizontal" nature of the tasting (i.e., all wines from the same vintage) will allow you to compare and contrast the wines from different grape growing regions. In the second class, we'll examine and taste Pinot Noirs from California, Oregon, and France. Finally, in the third class, we'll explore Napa Valley and French Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Through these classes, not only will you experience some great wines, but hopefully develop a new perspective on wines from different wine regions and the ability to distinguish these wines from others.

Town Square
On Deadline: Downtown 'parking overflow' could double/triple within four years

Regardless of the inadequacy of the numbers, the undercounting of the deficit, we need an immediate moratorium on any construction that is not fully parked. It's a scandal.
We need to stop the bleeding. We need to stop giving the developers millions in land value by permitting underparking, so that the residents are subsidizing the developers.
on Jun 22, 2013 at 8:57 am
The city cannot afford to keep building these $100 million parking garages, especially if they are only charging token parking fees that never pay back the building costs. Even if these garages were built, there is no space on our roads for all the cars heading to and from the garages and widening existing roads is even more expensive than $100 million.
If the city wants to keep encouraging employment growth in the city, we have to encourage non-car methods of commuting. Improve public transit, both around town and connecting to other towns. Build really safe bike routes that connect to neighboring cities. Encourage local businesses and services to be more friendly to customers who arrive on foot or by bicycle. No more fortresses that are surrounded by concrete walls with very limited access to non-car customers.
on Jun 22, 2013 at 9:19 am
Get parking lots in the Baylands and use the shuttle. Make downtown parking pay per hour.
Start thinking outside the box on this parking issue. The cars will have to park somewhere and residential parking permits won't make the cars go away, they will still need to park somewhere.

Harvard University, 2010 - $18,550
Patient non-compliance in routinely taking the medications prescribed for them costs the US $170 billion dollars yearly. The 75 million Americans considered "health illiterate" are at particular risk for prescription drug misuse: they are 3.4 times as likely to misinterpret drug warning labels, leading to greater risk of medication-related adverse events and a doubling of all-cause mortality risk. Up to 85% of prescriptions are not refilled after the initial dispensing, which translates to an annual loss of $77 billion for retail pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies.
Visual cues have not improved adherence, but auditory notifications have shown promise. However, current auditory devices are too expensive to be scalable, too hard for patients to operate, and can't be adapted to pill bottles of varying sizes.
This team is developing the RxCap, a $1 device that installs seamlessly within existing pill bottles, provides verbal explanations of proper medication use/dosage when the bottle is opened, and reminds patients to refill their medication when the time comes.

Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of applying for the postgraduate course in Urban Design at UCD (apparently the only course on the subject in Ireland) and was wondering if there is anyone out there who has done or knows someone who has been through this programme.
I have a degree in Architecture and still in full-employment for the time being. What would suit me best would be a part-time course that would allow me to keep the job and the programme in UCD ticks this box... the only concern I have is regarding the level of expertise of this programme and this concern is based solely on the fact that it's a relatively young course (the course was introduced in 2005) and I'm wondering would it be the equivalent(or close to) of similar programmes in other European Universities with tradition in the field of urban design (Delft University of Technology comes to mind)?
Starting a 2 year long course is a big commitment and I would like to give my best but also would like to get into the best possible programme especially when looking at the fees for the UCD course being higher than similar programmes in other European Universities which have the bonus of being more established courses.
I would truly appreciate your opinion and views and if anyone has insight information about the Urban Design course in UCD I would be very grateful if it could be shared on this public forum as it would definitely help me solve my dilemma.
Cheers in Advance.

Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care.

The "game-changer" the president alluded to in his tough rhetoric late last year has apparently occurred.
Incredibly, some have suggested that it may still be inappropriate to do something about the problem.
There are some in the administration who think we don't have enough proof. Some have suggested the rebels are using the weapons of mass destruction. One former general even suggested that it may be too early to act because Syria's use of chemical weapons was not as big as Saddam's against Iraqi Kurds.
The fact that fewer people have been hurt by one dictator's use of these weapons than the other is tertiary intelligence at best. Whether the rebels are using the WMDs, or a rogue general, or Bullwinkle the Moose, they're Syria's weapons, they're out of the box now, and we don't have enough manpower or resources to prevent someone from bringing them to our shores by boat or plane or train, if they're bound and determined to do so.
Furthermore, recent revelations that terrorists in Canada planned to travel by train to New York City to conduct attacks should bring this matter home for all of us, as one of the most prominent trains used for travel from Canada to the Big Apple travels right through our community.
Please consider contacting our leaders and asking them to support intervention in Syria for the purpose of destroying its chemical-weapon stockpiles.

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico — Virgin Galactic is encouraging passengers to "book their place in space."
The company is moving ahead with plans to offer the first commercial flights from Spaceport America in in southern New Mexico.
These first space tourists will fly in Virgin Galactic's SpaceShip Two.
A sleek office in Las Cruces is the new home of Virgin Galactic, and its meeting rooms are named after science fiction films. But the facility supports the company's very real effort to offer commercial flights into space.
"This is the main office central area, and at the moment we're only set up for maybe 12 staff to operate here," said Carolyn Wincer, who is part of Virgin Galactic's tourism development department. "But you can see there's a lot of space for us to set up for more."
The staff here and at Spaceport America is expected to grow as the company moves closer to launch date. Company owner Richard Branson celebrates the progress.
"It certainly is a dream," he said. "I dream all the time, and I like to make dreams come true."
More than 500 people have already put down a deposit to share in the dream of space travel. The majority have paid the full ticket price — $200,000.
Virgin Galactic calls those passengers "pioneers."
"You can compare them to the first commercial airline passengers and the first people who bought those huge car phones back in the 80s," Wincer said. "It was those people who made those businesses possible and enabled the technology to develop."
Some children who were outside the new office in Las Cruces can't afford the "pioneer" price tag, but that doesn't mean they would pass up a chance.
"I want to go," one youngster said. "It's going to be so cool!"
But another was less enthusiastic. "Me" I'm going to stay on the ground!"
For now, Virgin Galactic's spaceships are still on the ground. But if everything goes as planned, the company hopes the first one will lift off by the end of next year.

Remember Me
Two lonely little Hostess Apple Fruit Pies fill D3 in the snack machine on the second floor of The Herald building.
On Friday, Hostess announced it would close after decades of providing beloved snacks to young and old alike.
No more Twinkies, CupCakes, Ding Dongs, Ho-Hos, Struessel Cakes, Suzy Qs, Fruit Pies, Donettes, Zingers or Coffee Cakes.
No more soft, moist cake with cream filling of perfect consistency. No more smooth, melty fudge over chocolate cake. No more Coffee Cake loaded with brown sugar and cinnamon. No more fruit pies with sweet, juicy bits of apple in a smooth filling. No more CupCakes with the 8 perfect loops on the top.
How did this happen? How could something that has been a part of my life forever just go away?
Well, maybe not gone entirely. Rumor has it some other company may pick up a few of Hostess' offering.
Hostess is blaming the company's demise on unreasonable union workers. The workers say Hostess had already filed for bankruptcy and they had given some concessions and the money from those was to be plowed back into the company. Workers say it never happened. Top management was given 80-percent raises while the company was still in bankruptcy. Blah, blah, blah.
Where has the year gone? It's already November.
To many people's surprise, we've already had a Christmas story in the paper.
I'm sure with the economy, the Delphos Community Christmas Project will need every bit of time they have to pull together a nice holiday for those who need a little boost.
It's tough out there and every penny will count.
It will be that way for many of us, I fear. Most of us are fortunate and have jobs. It may not be the one we want or need but a job none the less.
If you've been on Facebook the last couple of days, you've seen the posts of what people are thankful for. During the month of November, you are supposed to say something you are thankful for each day, not just on Thanksgiving. I'm three days behind so I better get busy and catch up.
Day 1: I am thankful for my wonderful husband. He drives me mad, makes me laugh, makes me smile and makes it worth coming home every day after work. We are enjoying each other's company and working on some small improvements around the house. It feels good.
Days 2: I am thankful for the rest of my family from the top on down to the little guy, Ringo.
Day 3: I am thankful for all I have. Watching the footage of the horrible destruction of Superstorm Sandy really makes you take stock of what you have and what you may think you need but don't. It's heart-wrenching to consider the families of those who have died and those who have no homes to go back to once things get back on track. We never truly appreciate what we have until we realize how much we have compared to others.
Day 4: (Yeah, I know I'm jumping ahead but I want to make sure I get this all in.) I am thankful the fall season is upon us. Aaaaah. The crispness of the morning air. The crunch of leaves underfoot.
The only problem is now comes the pre-winter cleanup. The bushes need trimmed or the Christmas lights will look funny. The flower beds need weeded and everything cut back. Who knows, with the weird weather we've been having, we might have to mow one more time. I can't believe it's less than three weeks until Thanksgiving already. The pies and turkey in the freezer is a big hint. I've already doled out everyone else's goodies they need to bring so the food is pretty much covered. Now I just have to work in a little cleaning (OK, a lot of cleaning) between now and then.
Back to fall and how much I love this time of year. I truly enjoy the first morning when you can walk outside and see your breath. That little cloud of moisture hanging in the air in front of me is awesome.
We had our first snowfall early this week. There's an old wive's tale we chat about on the second floor of The Herald building. The tale indicated that whatever date the first measurable snowfall of the year falls on, that is how many measurable snowfalls we will have that winter. Uh-oh. I believe is was Oct. 30. That means 30 measurable snowfalls this year.
I sure am glad it's just an old wive's tale. Whew. No one needs 30 snowfalls but I am thankful it was only a quarter-inch. I am in no way shape or form ready to shovel the white stuff or wear boots and all that garb yet. I'm thankful that was just a fleeting meet-and-greet with snow. (I know. That one doesn't count.)
Try it for the month and see what all you're thankful for. You don't have to log on to Facebook to make a list. It's just as good if it's sitting on the counter or the table. It just matters that you've thought about it and perhaps shared a few with someone else.
I have to admit I'm stilling pouting over the lack of trick-or-treaters at my door Thursday evening. I know North Main Street is off the beaten path for most but dang it, I had candy, my porch light was on and some just turned on Ninth Street and headed east or west as I watched with a little lip quiver.
Were they trying to say my candy wasn't what it ought to be? (Stolen from The Wizard of Oz from the scene with the talking apple trees.)We had 26 little beggars. And oh, what cute little beggars they were. Some parents and children have a great affinity for dress up. I saw some very creative costumes. In the coming days, you will see some of them, too. We'll be running them until at least through Halloween, if not beyond. We still have more Landeck, Ottoville and Fort Jennings pictures.
My friend a few streets over had 60 and I was jealous. We always buy a big bowlful of candy with the intention of passing out every last piece. (Well, that's my intention. My husband's is to have leftovers. He has a ginormous sweet tooth that requires nearly constant attention. Me? I just sneak a bag of Smarties back and I'm good to go.)
OK, back to my pout. I'm not sure how to remedy the situation and still keep the autonomy of my own porch and the ease of chatting with the neighbors in between handing out candy.
In my trick-or-treat days, we went through our neighborhood and one street over each way and called it a night. Our sacks were full. Sometimes our candy would last for months. When Cameron was of Trick-or-Treat age, I can remember throwing out picked-through bags in December. Does anyone need that much candy? Besides my husband, that is?
The Trunk-or-Treat at Trinity United Methodist Church is a huge draw. It's a safe place for kids to gather, get treats and have some fun. The adults get in on the action by decorating their trunks and wearing costumes. They don't have to get up and answer the door every few minutes — the tricksters come to them. It's a good gig if that's what you're in to.
Perhaps I'm holding on to something of the past. Maybe group offerings are the wave of the future of Beggar's Night and porches will be dark. I'm still going to hang in there and keep the tradition of sitting outside bathed in the porch light and passing out candy to those who cross over Tenth Street. I holler at the ones who head up or down Tenth to come down and get a treat. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Oh well, their loss.
One of my favorite holidays is fast approaching — Halloween. Mwahahahahahaha!Halloween to me is kids dressed in their most creative outfits begging for candy and tossing a hurried "thank you" over their shoulder as they rush to the next house and more goodies.
The biggest difference I have noticed over the years is how many porch lights are dark during trick or treat. When I was a little beggar, the whole pack of neighborhood kids ran up and down both sides of North Main and Canal streets, rarely skipping a house. We would lug our booty home and blissfully sort chocolate from other candies while munching on our favorites. (This was, of course, pre-urban legend about the razor blade in the apple.)
One house on North Canal was all decked out and the nice lady there handed out popcorn balls and let us tour her little house of horror. What fun.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I used to work at this school back in 1979 - 1980. My position was Library Secretary/Teacher's Aide. I loved my job while I was there. My favorite things were reading to the kids in the library and being out with the kids during recess. Sometimes I would get asked "Where were you at recess". I responded by saying " Did you see a group of kids" they said "Yes" then I would say "I was in the middle of them" because I was shorter than some of the students. All the kids there were so great. I left after working there a short time because I was pregnant with my first child. I really miss working there.
My daughter is in Kindergarten and her teacher does a great job at answering any questions i may have
Fantastic leader, great with the students and teachers.
I love all the staff here at McAlder. They all go above and beyond for the students. All questions I have had on my childrens education have been quickly answered and if there are problems a situation is quickly found. I love that my kids are eager to go to school each day. I also love how they let parents be involved.
I couldn't be happier with the way this school is run. Kay Gallo is an excellent principal and all of her staff that I've interacted with are equally as impressive. They really take a personal interest in the kids and my girls have always had great things to say about their teachers. Jeannie Larberg is wonderful and has been such a positive influence in my daughter's lives that I'm forever grateful of her. I've had to waiver my kids in, as I'm on the border and I'm so thankful that my waiver has always approved. I love this school!
Office staff and K and 1st grade teachers are amazing. We have elected to attend another, vastly superior school out of district, however - bullying became unbearable last year, and communication between teacher and home was non-existent.
My daughter started here in 3rd grade and has said she feels she is learning more here than she did at her last school. She was a bit behind the other students when we moved her to the new school. She did very well on her 3rd Grade WASL. There are only a couple of things I don't like, one is the entrance to the school. It is not locked ever, nor are the back entrances. Someone could walk right into the school without being noticed as there is a door that is always closed that goes into the front office. I think this is a safety issue. There are also many portable classrooms. I do feel they do a great job motivating kids to do their best.
This school is absolutely amazing! Great teachers/staff. I am amazed at how much my kids learn. i would deffinetly send them back if i could!
wonderful school. Kids enjoyed all their teachers
McAlder has a sense of caring and compassion for the children who attend. Emphasis is put on citizenship and accountability for actions. This school is great!
Compared to the school we came from in another state, I would have to say this school is lacking. It is unbelievable how out dated and non existant the technology is. There is very little communication from the teachers and principal to the parents. In a district with such expensive homes and thus high taxes, you would think they would update and modernize their older schools before building a brand new administration building. Makes you wonder where their priorities are.
My daughter is in her second year at McAlder. Our experience started with a late-summer email to the principle to inquire about full-time K. Her response was incredibly warm and encouraging. Her teachers have been very enthusiastic and fun, they are the reason she loves school! The principle, the office staff, and faculty are all very personable and easy to work with. And the curriculum is advanced but not so much so that anyone feels left behind.
I had the same incident occur with my daughter there about the lunch money and agree there could be a change there in the policy. However, aside from that fact I think that my daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her years there at McAlder and especially Mr. Was's class. I would like to see more sports offered to the children that are in 2nd -4th grade as well. There seemed to be sports offered thru the school for the 5th & 6th graders but none for those below. Besides that I found Sheila and the other ladies in the office to be quite nice and helpful.
My son went to school here, in 2001. I would not recommend this school. The staff were completely rude. I remember my son forgot his lunch money one day, and he called home and ask me to bring it. (I work nights and was sleeping) I asked him is there anyway it can be paid for after school. I hear him ask. Then he says, if you don't come I will only get a juice and a granula bar. So of course I bring him money. This was about 1/2 though the year. He had never forgot his lunch money before this. That is just one example of how on caring the staff was. (my son was 7 years old) His teacher was very unorganized and sloppy. I also visited the school. Must of the time, I would hear other children swearing or calling their peers names.

Ultimately Turned Out Good
By RR3
from Central IL
I received this fireplace as a Christmas gift. I was very excited when the items arrived so quickly and to see that the picture was accurate...it is very beautiful. However,a few things were not so great. First, the box that the cabinet was in was deeply gouged thru to the wood. Secondly, we were sent the wrong size firebox for the fireplace that was ordered.The company generally handled the issues well. I did have a small issue with one rep that I talked to on the phone that was not so helpful or understanding. We were given a small refund due to the damaged item. They arranged to pick up the wrong firebox and shipped the correct one once the wrong one was picked up.Finally, got everything up and running two weeks after we received the initial shipment. Overall, very happy with my present and ok with the service.Also the fire cracker listed as an option is ok....but in my opinion NOT worth $40.00.

GRAPEVINE — The DFW Connector project is eight miles of construction, and essentially the rebuilding of State Highways 114 and 121, just north of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Jose Guzman drives it daily. He says you can see there's something really special being built here.
Work on the project continues around the clock, and it needs lots of special equipment and materials to get it done.
"They build mountains out here," said commuter Patrick Burns. "You can come out here in another week and there'll be another mountain, another roadway built. They're doing a good job."
Even with the 24-hour activity, thefts have happened on site. The latest one was on Monday night, when metal crossbars worth a few thousand dollars were snatched.
"Essentially, we just want to find our equipment, find our vehicles and get back to work," said Kristen Schropp, spokeswoman for the DFW Connector project.
Northgate Constructors, the lead company on this project, isn't taking any chances with theft or getting behind schedule.
"We set up this invisible fence," Schropp explained. "Any time our equipment or vehicles are outside of that geo-fence, we actually are sent an alert so that we know we need to go after that piece of equipment."
Vehicles, equipment and materials are all tracked by GPS and the vast majority are recovered.
That's what happened with one trailer taken from the site just a few weeks ago.
"Using our tracking devices, we were able to find that trailer — with the material still on it — and bring it back to the job site so we could get back to work," Schropp said.
We asked to see the tracking equipment at work, but were denied. Northgate does not want thieves getting wind of how they keep tabs on all of their things.
The DFW Connector project is expected to be 85 percent complete by year's end, with completion ahead of schedule by midsummer 2013.

If practice makes perfect, Mark Nichols' skills at fishing seagrass flats must be honed close to flawlessness. The manufacturer of DOA soft lures spends almost as much time fishing the inshore waters from northern Florida to the Keys as many guides do - except he doesn't just guide; he fishes as well.
The result: Nichols knows how to find and consistently catch popular inshore species such as redfish, seatrout, snook and tarpon. During a recent day on the water with Nichols, I took a few notes, coming away with seven tips that can help make a difference in any inshore angler's catch rate.
"I don't know why more guys [who fish inshore] don't use these, particularly in open areas," Nichols says. Such drift anchors, as some call them, have been popular in Texas waters, but not in the east. Nichols uses a small, collapsible sea anchor. It's quick and easy to deploy and helps greatly to slow a drift over a productive flat, offering more time to cast and work it effectively.
Don't be afraid to try a lure rather than give up when the fish are there but not hitting bait, Nichols suggests. He admits this sounds like biased advice, coming from a manufacturer of lures, but says lures can and occasionally do outfish even live bait. "The truth is that I wouldn't have forced myself to fish lures over live bait so often if I didn't make lures, but now I'm convinced.... I've seen times when fish such as cobia pass up a live bait to grab a lure."
Nichols has recently begun using the stuff in very light (6- or 12-pound) test when he wants light lures to stay at the bottom as he works them slowly over oyster bars and rocks. He also needs the increased sensitivity these lines offer in order to feel obstructions and work the jig-head just over them, rather than into them as too often happens with monofilament. Indeed, Nichols kept catching snook on his light spinning rig in about 10 feet of water as we drifted down-current, while I kept catching the bottom. We switched rods and I stopped hanging up and started hooking up. The super-braid made the difference. Don't forget 3 or so feet of clear mono leader.
I watched Nichols pull in snook after snook while drifting with lures, yet another boat anchored nearby couldn't generate a strike on live baits. Part of the difference, Nichols says: the 6-pound line he used. The other boat's big spinners looked to be loaded with 15- or 20-pound test, making it much harder to put bait in the current and keep it where the anglers wanted. Also, the heavy mono made it tough to feel anything going on with the bait.
Anchoring's fine - when you find the fish. Some anglers pick a spot, drop the anchor and sit. If nothing's doing, Nichols says, drift until you find fish. Sometimes you may stumble into them where you least expect them.
Tie a basic loop knot to connect main line or leader to your lures. Although some lures with a split ring on the lure's eye don't need this step, most will benefit. "They'll wiggle better," Nichols says.
"Keep casting," he advises. Nichols points out that one thing successful inshore fishermen all do is cast and cast and cast some more. Often that's the key to locating fish, so be slow to give up and you'll catch more fish.

If practice makes perfect, Mark Nichols' skills at fishing seagrass flats must be honed close to flawlessness. The manufacturer of DOA soft lures spends almost as much time fishing the inshore waters from northern Florida to the Keys as many guides do - except he doesn't just guide; he fishes as well.
