A stack of pallet jacks and a propane canister in the cab led RCMP to believe a stolen Dodge pickup truck was torched on purpose.
Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the vehicle's identification number confirmed the burned out hulk that sat in a McArthur Island parking lot Tuesday morning is a blue 1995 Dodge Supercab pickup stolen from Falkland.
The owner reported the Dodge stolen on Tuesday, he said. A crew from Kamloops Fire and Rescue asked police to attend a vehicle fire on McArthur Island at about 2:30 a.m.
"They were on the scene battling with a vehicle fire that they believed was suspicious," said Learned. "The fire crews indicated at the onset that they believed the fire had been burning for half an hour before they arrived on scene."
The truck was engulfed in flames, but the remnants of wood pallets were found in the box and a small propane canister located in the cab, he said. The canister appeared to have ruptured.
Given how hot the fire burned, investigators had to wait several hours before they could search through the ashes. Fire Insp. Ray Webster said there is almost nothing left of the vehicle.
"It's burned through and through," said Webster. "There's not a piece of plastic, glass or material left inside."
Webster did find a thin, one-inch strip of blue paint, a propane canister in the cab and wood in the box, he said.
"Did that cause it, or was it a victim of?" he said, adding the cause of the fire will be undetermined.
There is a chance the pallets and propane had nothing to do with the fire, but they are suspicious, said Learned. The matter will be investigated.
"There's some of those lingering questions that need to be answered," he said.

A nose fracture is a break in the bones of the nose.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A broken nose is caused by a blunt, hard blow to the nose. It often occurs along with injuries to other parts of the nose and face.
Factors that may increase your chance of a nose fracture include:
A nose fracture may cause:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how the injury occurred, and will examine your nose and face for:
Although not necessary, imaging tests may be done to confirm the fracture, and check its location and serverity. They usually are not done until the inflammation goes down. Imaging tests may include:
Treatment depends on the severity of the break. If your nose is broken and in position, the only treatment you will need is home care. It is important to be careful to not bump your nose while it heals. More severe breaks may need realignment or surgery.
Ice helps reduce inflammation and pain. Apply an ice pack to your nose for 15-20 minutes at a time. Place a towel between the ice pack and your skin.
Prescription or over-the-counter medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be given to help reduce inflammation and pain.
If it is determined that your nose is out of position, obstructing your breathing, or causing other problems your doctor may:
Surgery may be needed to set the fracture if:
If you are diagnosed with a nose fracture, follow your doctor's

Search crews said a dog helped them locate a horse on Sunday that ran from an equestrian center in Fountain Inn.
Maria Mersman said the horse broke loose from the Fairview Equestrian Center on Reining Way on Saturday.
The community gathered to look for the hose in the rain, but were unable to find her Saturday night.
The foot search that included DNR and the Laurens County Sheriff's Office resumed Sunday, according to organizers.
A dog tracked the horse to a body of water miles from her stable.
The horse was shaken, but healthy, according to her caretaker.
The mare is now being cared for at the equine center.

Adobe Digital Marketing Summit is just around the corner (!) so we thought you might like a short checklist to ensure you're prepared for your trip Salt Lake City:
- Have you taken a few moments to review the schedule and sign up for sessions? We encourage you to – if you didn't do this when you registered, you can still schedule them here.
- Salt Lake City can be cold in March, so remember to pack warm clothes, especially if you are skiing on Friday. A good guess is that temperatures will be in the low to mid 50's, with chances of snow. We encourage you to bring some winter clothes, like hat, scarf, and gloves. Once inside the Salt Palace Conference Center, appropriate dress is business casual.
- Arriving by air? Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is a 10-15 minute shuttle or taxi drive from most of the event hotels and The Salt Palace Convention Center (SPCC). Each Summit host hotel offers shuttle service to and from the airport, which can be contacted via service phones found near the baggage areas in Terminals 1 and 2. You can also hail a taxi outside the terminal or call Yellow Cab of Salt Lake at 801-521-2100.
- Some of the hosting hotels are within easy walking distance from SPCC. However, for those that are more than a walk away (Little America, Sheraton, Embassy Suites, and Marriott City Center) there will be Adobe-operated shuttles running every 20 minutes to and from the SPCC. These shuttles will continue running throughout the day and also cover the various evening events.
- Socialize with us! Follow @AdobeSummit — the main account from which we'll send conference details, news and highlights. Join the Twitter conversation using the hashtag #AdobeSummit whenever you tweet about the event. Also use it in searches to stay on top of the digital marketing community conversations.
- Don't forget to take pictures and upload them to the community Flickr group. You can also check out our official photos from the show in our Photoshop gallery and the Flickr gallery. Especially during the Wednesday night bash – we're fostering picture opportunities wherever we can.
Remember to soak up every minute of activity while there – you can always sleep the following week! Summit is jam-packed with educational, networking and 'just plain fun' events. Our hope is that you'll find each of those aspects of the event equally valuable. See you in Utah!

STYLE: This wig will NOT come out of the box looking like Jaclyn's photo. You will have to style it yourself or take it to a stylist to achieve that look. However, the wig does fall in natural curls and with a little combing and fluffing of my own, I have fooled everyone so far into believing it is my own hair. My daughter is a hair stylist and she thought I had gone to another hair stylist for a color/perm. I would recommend taking this wig to your own stylist, if needed, for adjustments to fit your face. My daughter shortened the bangs just a little and thinned them for a more natural look.It is a very full wig, so if you are used to less hair you might want your stylist to cut/thin/trim. Because of the fullness, most of the time I do prefer to wear it pulled back loosely into a low pony tail with a clasp. I prefer a tousled "less fixed" style.COLOR: Wildlower Honey. When I received the wig I was shocked at the reddish darker tones. Not blonde at all as the color tag shown online and in the catalogs. I am left to wonder if the wig I received was mis-tagged. However, I did like the color so I kept it.BOTTOMLINE: One of my friends is planning to order Emma Jane because she was so impressed with how natural it looked on me. I highly recommend this wig!

About Me Minimalist
Comments about Paula Young Emma Jane Lace Front Wig by Jaclyn Smith:
Good quality and style. I have found that most Paula Young wigs that I have ordered are of good quality. The Jacqueline Smith line has full heads of hair which I love. The only thing is the choice of colors. Wish they came in dark chocolate brown or a similar dark brown. I have the pecan delight and I find it much too light.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Beauty Conscious
I have very thick hair that is terribly damaged from over processing, hot styling products and age. This wig is so natural looking, especially due to the lace front. I have it in the light auburn color and it has made me look fabulous. I am so tired of worrying about what will I do with my hair If I have to leave the house in a hurry. I actually feel pretty now and hope that this wig will wear well over time. By the way, I am 70 years old and don't think it is too much hair. It looks a lot like my own hair so I know that no one will think it is a wig. My daughter hasn't stopped complimenting me all day.

The color was not what I expected, but I'm going to keep it for special occasions and travel. It's well made and a lovely style. I recommend this product, just not in Auburn Sugar, which is an extremely "streaked" color combo.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"ONLY negative is that this did come in the thick card stock. This is part of the series we are using for invitations and thank you cards, etc. It perfectly conveys that our event is a "formal" celebration of our very unique union (two males) and an event that is not like a traditional wedding. We wanted "Philadelphia, PA" printed but the designer suggested we spell it out and changed it to "philadelphia, pennsylvania" because that is proper etiquette. We were OK with that those kinds of "familiar formalities" will help our guests understand that this is indeed a formal celebration of our union. We are trying to stay away from traditional wedding-related stuff, but some things we need to hold on to. This Save the Date does everything we need it to do!"
"Delivered fast, color turned out perfect even after adding a filter to it, not fuzzy, the orange color is very bright and makes the card pop."
"This save the date is beautiful, especially in person. The sample card I ordered shows the text aligned to the left of the card. I decided to center the text which I personally think looks better. I really like that aligning or moving the text is an option we can choose to do, along with don't and colors however I kept those the same as the sample. The printing and paper quality is up to my expectations. The paper is just thick enough to give it quality without being too thick. We have not sent out our save the dates yet but I have gotten great feedback from friends who have seen them already. The sketched leaves designs is perfect for our fall wedding!"
"This save the date was absolutely stunning. We are having a formal, black-tie wedding and this was exactly what we wanted. Simply, perfect."
"The quality of this card is amazing, the paper is textured and thick. The ink colors work perfectly with this card. We had hotel information on the back and we stuck with the brown ink color for that. This is perfect for a fall wedding in New England! The end product is amazing, we can't wait to send these out to all of our friends and family!"

East Alabama made history Monday as Eddie Lowe was sworn in as the first African-American mayor of Phenix City. He won by a landslide in August with 64% of the votes - twice as many as any of the three other candidates.
Eddie Lowe is your classic overachiever.
An All-State linebacker at Central High School, he was just 5 foot 10 inches and 180 pounds, too small they said to play at Alabama like bigger brother Woodrow.
After a year at UT-Chattanooga, Eddie rolled the dice and transferred to Tuscaloosa, taking a chance as a walk-on. That included a red-shirt year, no playing, just working and practicing.
"I always said if I can perform the ones, I ought to be getting someone's attention, and so I went out and practiced like I was going to be playing," said Lowe. "I even used to take the projector into our room, and I would run it, and I would go through my steps on my reads."
That work ethic got him playing time as a sophomore, a spot in the starting lineup as a junior. Then as a senior, he came into his own, as Todd Blackledge found out the hard way.
"I think Kenny Jackson was the receiver, and I can't remember who was the inside receiver, but he kind of went out and that widened me on my drop, and so I was just able to pick it off," Lowe said. "That's the only touchdown I ever got through an interception. In my entire career!"
Eddie wound up the team's leading tackler, and was chosen as permanent captain for the 1982 season by head coach Bear Bryant.
"You don't think about all those things then, but when you think about the man he was, and what he did in that type of industry, business, coaching, it's a great honor," Lowe said. "I don't take it lightly now because it's something no one can ever take away from me."
But he was still too small to play pro ball, at least according to the NFL.
The Canadian Football League? That was another matter.
Go North, young man. The Saskatchewan Roughriders had themselves a linebacker.
Nine seasons with the Riders, with the highlight coming in 1989, when Lowe helped the team win the Grey Cup.
"I can tell you, when I first got there, we went through some trying years. But you know, you've got to stick with it and keep your heart in it," Lowe said, "and it worked out. Winning the Grey Cup -- you really can't describe it. It's a great feeling, and when you do that, it's outstanding."
But all things must end, and Eddie called it quits after the 1991 season.
Armed with his finance degree from Alabama and his years of off-season work starting as a teller and moving on up, he began his second career: banking.
And you'd think that like football, banking is a numbers game. Eddie says, not quite.
"You can build a relationship that be lasting forever and that's what I love most about it," Lowe said. "The numbers are important and all of that, but if you're not doing right by people, then the numbers won't come. But if you are, the numbers will come."
Now, Eddie didn't give up football, not all the way. The past 20 years, he's been a volunteer coach at his alma mater, the last two working with the Red Devils new head coach, his older brother Woodrow.
"I want to be an example to them, particularly with the smaller ones as far as teaching them about character, as far as teaching to believe in yourself, and as far as teaching them as far as not giving up," Lowe said. "When you look at the big scheme of things, it's about being the total quality person."
Eddie hasn't just been banking. He spent a decade as president of the Phenix City School Board until his successful run for mayor this fall.
As he begins what might be counted as a third career, he says it all comes down to what he learned playing ball for Bear Bryant.
"The greatest thing I learned from Coach Bryant was how not to be jealous," Lowe said. "See, it's never about you, and I think society has kind of drifted that way. It's always about making people around you look good. If you do that, you're going to be successful because you're on the team. The team looked good, you're going to look good."
Mayor Lowe and a brand new city council wasted no time: they had a three-hour work session Monday afternoon, and will have their first council meeting Tuesday.

Tom and his team lost to the NY Giants in a close game, which Gisele watched from a luxury box. Gisele apparently rushed down to comfort Tom at the end of the Super Bowl, and was even overheard defending his performance. The Patriots were unable to pull out a win, despite Gisele's now-famous email asking for best wishes from friends and family on "Tommy's" big day. Even so, he gets to come home to a happy personal life with Gisele and his two adorable sons. Hopefully now that the season is over they'll find time for a romantic getaway, considering how much they love hitting the beach and we've seen how much all-star quarterback Tom also enjoys a waterslide.

I don't think Gisele should have made those comments, even when a fan was heckling her though. It is a team sport, and Brady handled the loss admirably, like a star qb. She, on the other hand, sounded like a sore loser. GaryFox 2 years Tom Brady is an intelligent , blue collar work ethic, & gifted athlete . He has been a key leader in 3 Superbowl wins ; and the first loss to N.Y. he drove the team to what should have been the winning score late in the 4th Qtr. People forget about that clutch drive . Kurt Warner was also snake bitten by a similar 4th Qtr drive a few years later with Arizona . Defenses that couldn't hold a lead late in the fourth Quarter ; Hint ; That's not the QB's fault !! Now no one wants to talk about that great perfect season New England had ; football is a cruel sport in the playoffs , all of the other Major Pro Sports you can lose games and still be crowned the Champion. Super bowl 2012 ; New England was greatly handicapped by Gronkowski being about 30 % ; Most of the breaks going to N.Y. ; a few key plays ; and It's hard to believe that many people want to put the entire blame on # 12 ! Gisele showed a lot of class & heart by standing by her gentleman . Travelling all over Central & South America the women are genuine , vivacious , & feminine . Having watched football for over 45 years seriously ; there are many great QBs ; Joe Montana said it very well ; Its hard to compare QB's from different eras the game has changed so much in the last 20-30 years . Better Athletes , stronger, faster , QB offense oriented ! Tom Brady is a fantastic human being ; with lots of class ; and character ; few people would be able to handle the pressure that he demands on himself . Growing up in Indianapolis we all admired Peyton of course & brother Eli Manning . Moving to Denver as a young man I greatly admired John Elway ! ( incredible athletic ability ) Having been to 5 Super bowls I have seen many great athletes over the years . Ranking QBs is difficult Joe Montana , Terry Bradshaw , John Elway , are at the top of the list . Tom Brady is at the top of the modern day QB's The Manning brothers , Aaron , Drew , are top rated modern day QBs . I hope someday we all take a closer look at just how much pressure there is in this game; called THE SUPER BOWL ! ,,,,, ONE GAME WINNER TAKES ALL !!! Let's give praise to both the NFC & the AFC Champion . Jim Kelly from Buffalo was a great QB ( 4 straight Superbowls) ; Minnesota had many great Super bowl teams . The loser of this game should n't be treated so badly . Let's all be proud of the blessed & gifted athletes . We could all learn from the Faith & humility of Tim Tebow ! In closing ; it was a great season , Sincerely , Gary LealandMS 2 years So, they still rich kurniakasih 2 years @regalangel Uh because they can? jaan_black 2 years Tom Brady is a 6 yr old...he pouts at the first sign of trouble (not the best "leader" quality), maybe he should be following me around Sephora asking me if I need a basket instead of on the football field if that's his attitude....um, his wife's English is laughable so anything she says is moot dreamalittledream 2 years @ilanac13 Brady played a solid game, but he was still 0-for-5 when throwing the ball at least 20 yards in the air down field. And let's be honest, this was Eli's (personal) best season and the one that solidified him as an elite qb, last night was just the icing on the proverbial cake. qteepie 2 years He looked miserable the whole game. It's like he knew he was gonna lose. They played a good game tho. kurniakasih 2 years @regalangel Since I'm a football fan, they just appear famous to me, and they never on gossip sites? GOOD FOR The Mannings! :D ilanac13 2 years i'm not a Patriots fan, but you have to admit, that even though they lost, Brady did what he gets paid for. he delivered an amazing pass to the endzone - the Giants were just able to block it. oh well...i'm a New Yorker and even though i'm actually a JETs fan, i'm thrilled that the Giants won. i'm sure that Brady will bounce back from this - he is after all quite the elite QB. i just hope that his shoulder isn't hurt too badly. Given that he has that nagging knee injury from a season ago, this can't be good for him. regalangel 2 years @kurniakasih Eli may have won the game but he and his wife are not a superstar/famous couple. when are they EVER on gossip sites? lol regalangel 2 years Just because Eli won why would they post pictures about them on a gossip website? Gisele and Tom are the famous/superstar couple. kurniakasih 2 years Do you guys have pics of Eli and his wife celebrating the win too? :D Poshbrood 2 years What happens when you build a 22,000 square foot "green" mansion. cc susquinn dreamalittledream 2 years GO GMEN!!! amazing game!

Town Square
PA Junior Museum: Independence or Boondoggle?
Original post made by Ron Lee on Oct 19, 2006
That's an interesting choice of words because the Friends, a private organization, indeed will be given autonomous control of the venerable Middlefield Road facility, but Palo Alto will contribute an as yet unannounced sum rumored to be in the hundreds of thousands per year towards its operation. This is akin to the grownup son or daughter who wants to live in their parents' house, have mom and dad pay the bills, continue to have an allowance, but be allowed to do as they please. Ms. Trout implies there is a delay while the council generates some guidelines to govern the impending public/private partnership. But anyone who attended the council meeting that evening can tell this is pretty much a done deal. For example: the original agenda item mentioned a "memorandum" on this matter, the City Attorney suggested the word "contract" be substituted to make it a more binding agreement.
I'm sure the principals in this matter, both public and private, have good intentions, but I would like to see a little more due diligence used before huge sums of taxpayers' dollars is to released to a private organization. Some questions that come to mind include the following:
1) The PAJMZ has an outstanding zoo program, and an equally stellar educational outreach program. Has anyone conferred with the staff to get their input on how these programs will be continued? Will they have a say in who is designated the new director of the facility? Will they even stay after the change?
2) What is the track record of the private entity? They have raised money in the past in the name of the Museum and Zoo. What did they do with those funds? How much have they raised recently?
3) Can they actually operate a museum well? Published attendance figures indicate 150,000 visitors per year, an average of just over 12,000 per month. Before the Friends went from a volunteer support role to a fundraising role, published attendance figures averaged 18,000 per month. Why?
4) Mayor Kleinberg spoke of the need to maintain the "charm and scale" of projects within the City. The speakers representing the Friends used the Tech Museum of Innovation and the Randall Museum in San Francisco as examples of their qualifications. Is something like the Tech Museum their vision of what will happen on the already crowded Middlefield Road site? Many of the Friends who spoke are from outside Palo Alto. Does this mean the facility will become a regional one?
5) What is their longterm plan?
6) Shouldn't there be a competitive bid process for such a large contract?
My sense of the timing here is the opposite of Ms. Trout's report. This matter seems to be on a fast track for approval. It sounds to me like the transition team is already in place and approvals are a mere formality. Again, what's the rush? Why can't due diligence be used in this matter? As a taxpayer in this town for over 30 years and a founding member of the Friends, I feel like a "parent." to "Junior...Zoo" Do I want to contribute money for years to support this "child" without recourse? In reality, I have two wonderful daughters in their 20's who are fully independent. They work hard,live on their own, and pay their own bills. That's how I believe this situation should be viewed. The Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo claim to be a dynamic fund raising group that wants to run the museum. Let them go ahead, just make sure they are truly independent, ie. we don't need to give them any money. They would then gain my full support.

We've seen this kind of thing before. "Privatizing" is another term for union busting. Sure, private organizations may save money by underpaying their employees, but it's a sad state of affairs.

Ron - Thank you for naming the same concerns that I hold about the privatization of the JRM&Z. I spoke with a JRM&Z staff member today and learned, not to my surprise, that the staff have real concerns that the Friends of the JRM&Z are not equiped to effectively run and maintain the organization at the high standards we enjoy today. I, too, would like to see your points addressed before make any agreements and changes with regards to the management of the JRM&Z.

What considerations have been made in all this to make sure that staff continue to work with the same guidelines and benefits of regular city staff. Does anyone know?

For the fourth consecutive year ETC London projected a series of giant images and text messages onto London's 352-foot high Shell Tower as the metropolis rocked into 2008.
As in previous years, ETC was appointed by event producers Jack Morton Worldwide.
The spectacular, which included the projections, was organized by the Mayor of London in conjunction with the tourist organization Visit London. The images were part of a memorable pyrotechnic, lighting, and visual extravaganza designed to capture the spirit and inclusiveness of the Olympics this year, as well as looking forward to London's own hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games.
The event took place along the Thames, encompassing the South Bank between Jubilee and Westminster Bridges, and included the London Eye and Big Ben. An estimated 700,000 people went to central London to bring in the New Year, with an estimated 180,000 watching the event live from the banks of the Thames, while BBC 1's live broadcast reached several million additional viewers.
The projections started at 9pm and ran up to a 60 second countdown just prior to the midnight lighting and firework show kick off.
Artwork for the slides, including the countdown and the Happy New Year finale image, was coordinated by Jack Morton's creative director Dan Colborne, while ETC undertook all the camera obscura and perspective correction work required to fit the images to the building.
ETC London's Ross Ashton designed the projection format, covering the full surface of the building with eight PIGI 6Kw projectors to produce mega bright images. The projectors were sited nearly 500 feet away on the edge of Jubilee Gardens, in a curtain-sider truck in a 4 top/4 bottom arrangement, complete with 40cm lenses. Each machine produced a 164-foot x 164-foot image, and these were overlaid for optimum brightness.
The load in was on December 28, followed by overnight programming and rehearsal sessions before the show, which was operated by Karen Monid using a PIGI OnlyCue system. ETC London's chief engineer was Andy Murrell and all the project's logistics were handled for them by Paul Highfield.
Ross Ashton comments, "It was great to be working with Jack Morton on this seminal event again, and to be part of such a stunning and successful start to the year."
The evening culminated in a fireworks and pyrotechnics show, detonated from the London Eye and a series of barges, designed for Jack Morton by Christophe Berthonneau of Groupe F. The Eye itself was specially lit for the occasion by Durham Marenghi and Paul Cook, and the show was produced for Jack Morton by Jim Donald.

MARVEL SUPERHERO CITY: The skyscraper flats are moved to the top of the land to give a better, more dramatic entrance to the land. From within the land the City Streets are not distinguishable as facades (again, the idea is that you are "in worlds of the movies", not "where the movies are made"). Motors Action is rethemed to Marvel Superheroes (Punisher too violent?) and given an indoor, city-like queue (so guests can't see the backstage workings of the show, to the above point). There are new major attractions themed to your pick of Marvel heroes… I imagined an X-men scoop style ride and a Pandora's Box ride themed to the Fantastic Four.
Entering from the Hub, guests experience The Shire, coming upon the village of Hobbiton, where they can dine at the Green Dragon Tavern or explore Bag End. Making up for the lack of rides for children in the current DHS, this land features a spinner, a ferris wheel (like Old Mill in Paris) and a gentle outdoor boat ride through landscapes of Middle Earth (Storybookland Canal Boats meets Sinbad).

Now for the negative. As soon as we arrived to the port I thought Princess should step it up as far as getting guests through the queue and on the ship. We arrived at 12:45 and had to line up outside the terminal like cattle. Last month on the Oasis we didn't have to line up at all. As soon as we got on the ship we went up to the Horizon Cafe. Forget about a seat there so we sat out beside the Terrace Bar. I noticed patch paint jobs around the pool bar. Then we were at the International Cafe and I noticed a table that had a chunk of marble glued to it. Our room linens were fine but I noticed that the carpet was all lumpy and there was patched cracked shelf in the bathroom. The shower head was stationery so if you didn't quite fit to it you were out of luck.
The entertainment was nothing spectacular. Dancing numbers were more like the shake your booty stripper dancing. The singers were very good except for one female that sounded screechy. They also had a very good comedian named Sarge and a Jersey boys type singing group that were very good. On the positive side at least they had 3 performances a night so we always got to see the shows early. The other entertainment was the casino. I have never experienced a casino with such tight machines. I stopped going there after the first night because I could tell that these machines were not hitting at all. Other passengers were complaining too. It's too bad because I enjoy going to the casino and playing the machines but I don't enjoy it if the machine never gives you a break to win a bit. Also it was so smokey that you could smell the smoke waft up to the 8th floor through the stairwell.
Our stops were Princess Cays,(we had been there before so we didn't even get off the ship), Curacao (arrived 2 hours late because of gale force winds- all the excursions were cancelled) and Aruba. In Curacao and Aruba we hired a taxi to take us around the island for $20 each. Both drivers were very knowledgeable tour guides and we were quite satisfied with what they did for us.
The meals on the ship were so so. Not great and memorable but not terrible either. We had the late sitting in the Palm restaurant. One thing we noticed was that breakfast was served in one of the restaurants only until 9 am. Thus we never got to use the restaurant and had to eat in the very crowded buffet. Also the restaurants were not opened for lunch unless it was a sea day but they never advertised it. All in all I was glad we went on this cruise because we would like to do the British Isles cruise but it is with this ship so we will do it with another cruise line I should mention that we have sailed on the other sister ships, Emerald, Ruby and Crown. They are newer and not as worn out. My feeling is that if you are paying a Premium price you should expect a Premium ship. Princess has not reduced their prices to what you pay on Carnival so I would expect better. Time to refurbish. Maybe Princess should spend less on new builds and take care of the ships they have in service. Having said that we did put money down on our next cruise. We will just check out what the ship is like a bit better.

The inauguration and the economic divide
Second inaugration speeches are hard; you have to be political without sounding partisan, inspiring without being divisive -- and promise change and progress even if you haven't accomplished what you wanted in the first term. The Obama address surprised me: He went left, making clear that he wants economic and social equality to be his final legacy. It's getting rave reviews in the lib-blogosphere, where it's been described as the speech liberals have been begging him to give for years. You can't argue with the content -- he mentions gay rights, global climate change, equal pay, protecting social security, economic inequality, the need for collective effort ... he even talks about reforming the tax code.
So now comes the hard part: The struggle for economic justice has to go beyond a compromise plan that limits higher tax rates to people earning more than $400,000 a year.
In fact, the best thing I read this weekend was a NY Times piece by Nobel-Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who argues forcefully that continued economic inequality is prolonging the recession. It's also destroying the nation's future:
Our skyrocketing inequality — so contrary to our meritocratic ideal of America as a place where anyone with hard work and talent can "make it" — means that those who are born to parents of limited means are likely never to live up to their potential. Children in other rich countries like Canada, France, Germany and Sweden have a better chance of doing better than their parents did than American kids have. More than a fifth of our children live in poverty — the second worst of all the advanced economies, putting us behind countries like Bulgaria, Latvia and Greece. Our society is squandering its most valuable resource: our young.
Stiglitz says what few in Washington want to admit: We can't get the economy going again without rebuilding the middle class, and we can't do that without higher taxes on the rich and a lot more public investment in education. Oh, and all this talk of how it's out of our control is bullshit:
There are all kinds of excuses for inequality. Some say it's beyond our control, pointing to market forces like globalization, trade liberalization, the technological revolution, the "rise of the rest." Others assert that doing anything about it would make us all worse off, by stifling our already sputtering economic engine. These are self-serving, ignorant falsehoods. Market forces don't exist in a vacuum — we shape them. Other countries, like fast-growing Brazil, have shaped them in ways that have lowered inequality while creating more opportunity and higher growth. Countries far poorer than ours have decided that all young people should have access to food, education and health care so they can fulfill their aspirations.
Makes me think about some of what I hear out of San Francisco City Hall. Oh, we can't do anything about economic inequality; that's a national issue. Or maybe it's a state issue. I bet there's not an elected official in town today who woudn't proclaim complete agreement with everything Obama just said -- and there are very few of them who are trying to bring that message back home.
In San Francisco, we give tax breaks for businesses that create high-end jobs that drive poor people out of town. We happily seek development without considering the impact it will have on existing vulnerable populations. We even struggle over free Muni for low-income youth. We do nothing -- nothing -- to reclaim wealth from the 1 percent and put it into local housing, public education, and job-training that could make a dent in our local economic inequality.
Mr. Mayor: Are you even paying attention?
own very personal view of the world.
But the worth society places on your labor is very much beyond your control. Your employer does define and decide the value of your contribution.
Mammon worshipping troll.
your income would be set on a meritocratic basis?
Republican policies don't create a bigger pie - they create a smaller pie because more of the wealth goes to a smaller % of the ppl (a very small %). To create a bigger pie, tax rates must rise the more one makes (much more than currently, in the prosperous 1950s, the upper rate was 91% and the system worked beautifully) so that $ is available to the lower income folks so they can go to college and improve the economy of the area they are located.
Republican policies shrink the pie - that's the essense of Stiglitz argument which he supports well.
then that meanthees more jobs.
If you really believe that Obama intends to do anything about income inequality in this country, I have two words for you: Jack Lew
Being that he is, you know - the mayor and not the President. More gang-ridden low income housing or beefing up SEIU salaries is not going to address income inequality Tim.
Actually, there are a lot of things the mayor can do -- if he made equality as high as priority as "jobs" (read: tech jobs) ... but at the very least, he can stop making things worse.
Beyond divvying up the already tiny piece of the pie for which he's responsible and of which his union allies lay claim. The building trades council loves these tax breaks because they encourage development - the new Warriors stadium is a HUGE priority for them - and that's something you're vociferously opposing (as the Guardian opposed BART, the Transamerica Pyramid, Moscone Center etc...)
can raise the sales tax by, and cannot raise property assessments or tax rates by Prop 13.
So SF can fiddle around with some fees and marginal taxes but cannot materically change the tax load. Most voters are very happy about that, and it makes for prudent budgetting.
If tim wants more revenues, he should support the building of more luxury apartment buildings to broaden and deepen the tax base.
And even if he could, he had no voter mandate to do so, since he handsomely beat Avalos who stood much more on that platform.
Lee's mandate is for growth, development and jobs, and those are the best ways to help the poorer people of SF.
Punishing the rich doesn't help the poor; in fact it makes their plight that much worse.
Ron Conway taking back the city.
Pretty speech, let's just hope he practices what he preaches this time around.
No one cobbles together an ideology out of non-sequiturs with the quite the panache Tim does. Of Bay Area journalists, truly the region's foremost collagist.
Why not focus on Obama's actual deeds for a change, instead of some nice little speech? Journalist and filmmaker Jeremy Scahill and Richard Rowley have just come out with a new documentary on Obama's covert wars. It's called "Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield" and exposes the hidden truths behind America's expanding covert wars. Here's Amy Goodman interviewing Scahill at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah~
AMY GOODMAN: Jeremy, talk about President Obama's first four years and where we're going now. You got a chance to hear his inaugural address; what you thought of it?
JEREMY SCAHILL: Well, you know, I think if we look back at the—at the first term of the Obama administration, what we saw was you had this very popular Democratic president that had—who had campaigned, in terms of his broader rhetoric during the presidential campaign against John McCain, on the notion that he was going to transform the way that the U.S. conducted its foreign policy around the world. And, you know, he then proceeded to double down on some of the greatest excesses of the Bush administration. If you look at the use of the state secrets privilege; if you look at the way the Obama administration has expanded the drone wars; has empowered special operations forces, including from JSOC, the Joint Special Operations Command, to operate in countries where the United States is not at war; if you look at the way in which the Obama administration has essentially boxed Congress out of any effective oversight role of the covert aspects of U.S. foreign policy, what we really have is a president who has normalized, for many, many liberals in the United States, the policies that they once opposed under the Bush administration. And, you know, this really has been a war presidency.
And, you know, yesterday, as the—as President Obama's talking about how we don't need a state of perpetual war, multiple U.S. drone strikes in Yemen, a country that we're not at war with, where the U.S. has killed a tremendous number of civilians.
policies of George Bush and align his policies with those of the moderate majority of this nation.
You didn't really buy into that hopey changey thing, did you? Obama would never have been elected if the centrist majority hadn't known in their heart that Obama would be no revolutionary.
America doesn't do socialism.
before the voters had their say.
Sarah Palin troll.
I would not have supported Obama if I had thought for a moment that he would introduce a form of socialism into the US.
Obama needs people like me more than he needs people like you, because you have nowhere else to go, but I do.
Presidents always move to the center
Progressive ideas are not popular
All politicians lie
"Purity progressives" can't compromise
Nader lost the election for Gore
Progressives have situational ethics
Progressives ignore pressing problems to promote pet projects.
Progressives want to tell everyone else how to run their lives
Progressives call anybody a troll who doesnt' agree with them
Why is it OK for corporations to practice "socialism" by raiding the peoples treasury?
We have nothing like a free market economy in this country. Half the banks, agribusiness, and the auto and arms industries depend on public money to stay in business; is that not "socialism?"
I think there is a worm in the Guardians server that reacts with predictable contrarian nonsense whenever certain words are used in a post. Words like equality, social justice, economic inequality, poverty, hunger, war, greed, subsidies, "pay fair share," "do unto others...."
hardly complain when others here do the same thing.
Most debates here are not debates at all, but rather consist of people throwing lebals, insults and cliches at each other. Trying to elevate one side of that debate rather than the other seems futile.
The distinction between the private sector and the public sector is fairly well defined. I'd agree with you that it might have been better if a corporation like GM were not helped with tax money, but rather allowed to fail. But the national interest was presumed to trump that ideal.
You are correct, most social networking is non-factual, which is why I am waiting for "the various "Guests," Anon's," and "Matlock's" to offer some facts to back up their arguments, instead of the same old tired "malware."
"The distinction between the private sector and the public sector is fairly well defined?" Apparently not to people who keep on about some illusionary meritocracy. The "national interest?" How can propping up a failing industry possibly be in the national interest? The national interest would be a fair and free economy, which is impossible as long as "big government" appropriates tax dollars for foreign wars, inept corporations, and corrupt foreign regimes.
With the big banks, it is less clear because the nation clearly needs some form of banking system, in a way that it doesn't need to make cars.
Of course private and public sectors have some inter-dependence. But most people can answer a question like "do you work in the private or public sector?".
Do decisions get made in your place of work by shareholders or bureaucrats? That defines the difference.
The other difference is of course that the private sector creates wealth and the public sector consumes it.
There are private corporations, mostly NGO's, that allegedly exist to serve the public good, and there are public agencies like the FDA and FTC and FCC that give the publics money to private corporations, so the "line" is not as distinct as you seem to believe.
What many have observed over the past 10 years is well-described in an article today from AP: technology is rapidly destroying middle income jobs that will never return.
Mayor Lee and his tech supporters are at the forefront of waging this war against middle income people, while tens of thousands of Bay Area tech workers provide a nice assist by using their state-of-the art programming and technical engineering jobs to facilitate the economic destruction. The more tech jobs drawn to the Bay Area, the quicker the demise of dozens of occupations that once employed large segments of the worldwide population.
The massive middle-income job losses are not just happening in the US, but across Europe and even Asia, including China, as the article references. The current Chinese "robot wars" will ensure that companies like Foxcomm can avoid bad labor PR in the near future as many of their current employees are eventually replaced by machines.
Note that the linked article is not the latest salvo from Krugman or Reich, but was authored by the fairly conservative AP.
What you're really complaining about is the fact that SF has been very siuccessful in attracting and retaining knowledge workers and 21st century business, which has led to prosperity.
This in turn has pushed up costs. But the average working couple can still afford SF or, if not, the east bay.
Those who really can't afford SF any more are the losers, wastrels and homeless who have been sucking on the public teat for decades now.
SF is running out of luck for spotty kids who want to practice bad art and shoot up. For those who are ambitious and want to work hard, it has gotten way better.
When I was a wee tad, I was told by Adults that by the year 2000 there would be no more war, hunger, or disease, and machines would do most of the work, leaving human beings free to explore their full creative potentials. Well, the only thing that has come true is that machines do all the real work today. "Knowledge workers? "Creatives?" Most will be replaced in due time by an algorithm, and be competing with their cohorts from the last dot-com bust for a job at Starbucks. There is no "new" middle class, only a temporary flurry of activity that transfers even more wealth to the real estate/banking/insurance cabal. Under the present regime, San Francisco will continue to stratify into the wealthy and the poor. Economic equality and stability can only come by diversifying the economy. Relying on the tech and bio-tech sectors for continued prosperity is a major error.
Rather than face reality, you cling to some hopelessly outdated notion of how the world should be.
I feel sorry for you.
See what I mean? Instead of providing an intelligent rebuttal,
all this program can do is to attempt weak insults.
I feel sorry for it.
You presented only a cheap, lame emotional plea, which can only be refuted by that being pointed out.
"I got springs,
You got glue,
Bounces off me,
And sticks on you!"
"I got springs,
You got glue,
Bounces off me,
And sticks on you!"
chant. Is there something about being a liberal that emans that you have to use one-word categorizations to try and diminish an argument that you cannot refute?
Do they teach that technique in progressive college?
Guests regular transposition of letters. Synapses misfiring? System for identifying posts for the purpose of remuneration? Just a really sloppy typist?
It's a bit too regular for #3, so I suspect #2.
Why are you still here?
Since every modern word-processing program has spell-check, I can only believe the misspellings and non-sequitors are the result of a faulty trojan-horse or worm that is programmed to respond to posts. You will notice that while it insults and accuses others, it has NOTHING original to say.
cloud and confuse the "message" here.
You are Lilli are like two peas in a pod.
Like I said.....
"Progressive college?"
As opposed to "Regressive college?"
Find me a politician who describes himself as "regressive".
too dumb to see that?
It's easy to confuse all the "guests" and "anons.
be overlooked by so many putatively intelligent people: our economic security and well-being *must* be based on local production for local consumption to the greatest degree practically possible.
And relying on the tech sector is foolish in view of past collapses.
Of course it is possible these are real people who simply have no actual knowledge of history, science, economics, sociology, or morality. There are a couple of generations of people that get all their information from television and "social networking." So it is possible they actually believe what they are saying is "true." So sad.....
see things that are beyond your grasp.
Yeah, right....
I'd have to agree with the other guy.
Keep up the good work, Joseph. At least, you identify yourself while writing constructive comments.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - Jersey City's mayor is set to sign legislation requiring small businesses to give employees sick leave.
Mayor Steven Fulop says Jersey City is the first city in the state and only the sixth nationally to enact similar legislation.
The city's council passed the measure by a 7-1 margin last month. It allows private-sector employees in businesses with 10 or more employees to earn up to five paid sick days a year. Employees of smaller businesses will earn up to five days of unpaid sick time.
Fulop was to sign the bill at a pizza shop in downtown Jersey City Monday morning.

It's a beautiful band. The diamonds sparkle and the gold band is lustrous. My wife adores it. I recommend it to everyone.
The ring is clean, crisp, bright, and sparkles. It matches the wedding ring beautifully. We had to exchange the ring for the next size up. The return and re-order process was smooth. I will use overstock.com again in the future without hesitation.
The width of the ring is really small; I thought it would be wider.
The ring is beautiful and it goes so well with my original wedding set that I have had for 30 years I love it
I found the ring to be welll constructed and diamonds appear to have the quality stated. I was glad that the sizing included half sizes. The only thing that I'm not to happy with is the weight of the setting causes the ring to rotate on the finger. Overall I am please with the product.
Great looking ring it look just like the picture. I was very satisfied with my purchase. I would recommend to anybody on a budget and want a very nice ring.
this ring looks a lot prettier on the website. I am not happy with my purchase and wish I would have picked something else.
We were very excited to order this ring as my wedding band at the price Overstock had it listed for. The picture looked good and a lot of the other reviews were encouraging. It shipped quickly, which was nice. The gold was great. It looked perfect along side my engagement ring. We were disappointed with the diamonds. They were a little cloudy; that we could have lived with. It was them being too yellow that caused us to return it. Next to my engagement ring it didn't look right.

Veteran Maaseide Spoils Luster of Championship Rematch
Athens, Greece, August 17, 2004 - Leave it to veteran Bjorn Maaseide to ambush a good storyline for the media here Tuesday as he teamed with fellow Norwegian Iver Horrem to post a three-set victory over Dax Holdren and Stein Metzger of the United States in a Pool A match at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games.
The Americans end Pool A Thursday against Emanuel Rego and Ricardo Santos of Brazil, the team that defeated Holdren and Metzger for the 2003 FIVB World Championship in Rio de Janeiro last October. The two teams play at 8 p.m. with the Brazilians leading 2-1 in the series.
Maaseide, who is retiring from the beach game after the Olympics, and Horrem scored a 14-21, 21-15 and 16-14 win in 61 minutes over Holdren and Metzger to deny the Americans a chance of clinching a spot in the 16-team elimination bracket.
"It was a great match," said Maaseide. "They played very well in the first half of the match and we came back. Either team had plenty of chances to win the match. They put a lot of pressure on us early, but we hung in their. I am glad that Iver was able to taste the thrill of victory in the Olympics."
Maasiede, who has his sister (Kathrine) competing in the women's bracket, is competing in his third Olympics after playing with Jan Kvalheim in 1996 and 2000. "I have had a good career," he added. "Now, if we can defeat the Aussies (Andrew Schacht and Joshua Slack) Thursday, I'll get another chance for a medal."
Emanuel and Ricardo, the winner of 11 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour the past two season, scored a 21-17 and 21-17 win over Schacht and Slack Tuesday for their second win in the Athens Games after defeating Maaseide and Horrem in three-sets Sunday.
The second- (Benjamin Insfran/Marcio Araujo, Brazil), fourth- (Markus Dieckmann/Jonas Reckermann, Germany) and fifth-seeded (Patrick Heuscher/Stefan Kobel, Switzerland) teams joined Emanuel and Ricardo by winning their opening two matches to lead their pools.
Heuscher and Kobel play Dain Blanton and Jeff Nygaard at 12 p.m. in a Pool E match while the 2004 European Champions Markus Dieckmann and Reckermann meeting Vegard Hoidalen and Jorre Kjemperud of Norway at 4:30 p.m. in a Pool D match. Benjamin and Marcio Araujo of Brazil end their Pool B competition at 10 p.m. Thursday against Christoph Dieckmann and Andreas Scheuerpflug of Germany.
Javier Bosma and Pablo Herrera of Spain scored 21-19, 17-21 and 15-9 win over the third-seeded Laciga brothers (Martin and Paul) of Switzerland to take the lead in Pool C. Seventh-seeded Mariano Baracetti and Martin Conde of Argentina emerged as the leader in Pool F.
The 2001 FIVB World Champions, Baracetti and Conde play Greece's Thanassis Michalopoulos and Pavlos Beligratis of Greece at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The Spaniards end round-robin play Thursday at 10 a.m. against Austrians Peter Gartmayer and Robert Nowotny.
The Round of 16 elimination matches for the men will be played Friday and Saturday. Quarterfinals are set for Sunday with the semi-finals being played next Monday to decide the medal match line up for August 25.

Hospital district voters should defeat Measure M
Original post made on Nov 2, 2012

I completely disagree. What skills does CEO Tomi Ryba, who is paid $700,000 a year, have that somebody paid merely $350,000 wouldn't have? It seems whatever, if any, skill lacking could be compensated by hiring another employee, or three, with the remaining $350,000.
Everyone should vote "Yes" on Measure M on Nov. 6.
on Nov 2, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Executive compensation is out of control. The editor can't escape that fact and has bought into the whole best-qualified leader argument. And this is a hospital that has some what of a monopoly in the area for people that have insurance that the hospital accepts. BTW, most of the Mountain View residents I know can't afford ECH and end up at Kaiser.
on Nov 2, 2012 at 10:47 pm
Skills that come in at 700k? I do not get the logic? Pay him 1.4 million and the skill would double?

Boycott WSD Sponsors
This petition concerns the recent comments by Steven Cohen, of Work Soccer Daily & Fox Soccer Channel, regarding his bigoted opinions on the Hillsborough tragedy. Monday, April 13, 2009 - ""People showing up without ticket, hell bent in getting into somewhere where they shouldn't be going because they don't have tickets, is the root cause of [the Hillsborough Disaster]." His hatred for LFC gives him license to say whatever he likes. He has even made jokes comparing the recent 20th anniversary events to a cow. Mr Cohen is seemingly aware of the bigotry of his comments as he admitted that "If I were to say these things in the UK...I'd be lynched" This petition seeks to place pressure on the companies that fund and support Steven Cohen's bigotry, through sponsorship of his radio and TV programs, by boycotting their products and services. We'll be continuing this campaign until the families of the 96 receive a full and unmitigated apology. Jack The Lad Press Display.com PSG Sports Ruffneck Wear Jeff McIntyre Sporting Glory The Fix by Declan Hill VIP Communications Who Are Ya Designs World Soccer Daily Shop Please sign and pass this petition on as the families of the the lost deserve nothing less.

The Savannah, Ga., metropolitan area showed solid signs of a continuing economic recovery in the third quarter of 2012, according to an economic analysis published by the Center for Regional Analysis of the Department of Economics at Armstrong Atlantic State University ("Economy Up Again - Forecasting Index Continues Upward Trend").
Savannah had robust job growth on the quarter, the report said: the 3,100 jobs added "were entirely in the private sector and service side of the economy, with growth in education/health (+1,000), leisure/hospitality (+800), business/professional services (+500), and retail sales (+500) leading the hiring surge." But construction employment in the Savannah market was down by 100 jobs.
Signs for the future are strong — including for construction, the report said: "The seasonally adjusted number of new residential homes permitted for construction increased sharply, rising 34 percent above the previous quarter. Two hundred ninety-five permits were issued, the highest quarterly total in four years. Quarterly permit issuance in 2012 has surpassed that of every comparable quarter for 2010 and 2011, and in the aggregate, outpaced 2009. Overall, permit issuance is 15 percent over last year's pace and is on track to be the best year since 2008. However, the average value of a residential building permit issued decreased 7.6 percent to $152,200 from $164,800 in the second quarter."
Not all economists see such a bright picture, however. In November, Georgia State University economist Rajeev Dhawan described "dim growth prospects" for the Savannah area, the website BusinessInSavannah reported ("Savannah economy to limp due to 'fiscal cliff'," by Walter C. Jones).
And the University of Georgia's Selig Center for Economic Growth in the Terry College of Business predicted "anemic job growth — well under 1 percent — for the Savannah area in 2013," notes Savannah Morning News columnist Bill Dawers ("Conflicting economic predictions for Savannah: Who's right?").
But the so-called fiscal cliff, Dawers says, is likely to manifest more as a drag than as a shock, and he argues that there are countervailing forces at work locally: "Savannah has experienced a surge in new investment throughout 2012. In the last few months, employment numbers have been reflecting that robust trend. Since employment is a lagging indicator of economic activity, we have every reason to expect that the good news will continue in the first part of 2013."

PEORIA, Ill. --It has been one of the hotter summers in recent memory. But for one day, animals and visitors alike were celebrating the season of winter at Glen Oak Zoo.
The "Winter in Summer" event invited people to come out and learn how the animals keep cool during the dog days of summer.
Zoo workers were on hand feeding the animals cold treats, watermelon, and even paper mache ice treats for the lions.
The zoo also raised money for one artic animal in need.
"Today we actually have sno-cones going on, " explained zoo educator Jessica Kauvlarich. "We're actually fundraising to save polar bears. Any money we raise will go to plant trees in order to make the ecosystem better into the polar bear icecaps. And so that's what were actually working towards today, to keep them cool we'll have the sno-cones."
Zoo workers said despite the hot weather, the zoo has seen steady business throughout the summer months.

Today, ESPN analyst Bob Davie will be officially announced as the next coach of the New Mexico Lobos. Davie has been out of coaching for a decade after getting fired from Notre Dame in 2001.
Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson made it official on Monday. The school has fired Ralph Friedgen, buying out his contract for $2 million. Is Mike Leach on his way to College Park?
Maryland is strongly considering asking head football coach Ralph Friedgen to retire and accept a buyout, according to multiple sources. Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson said Friday he would not address whether Friedgen was guaranteed to return in 2011. Anderson was addressing reporters on the departure of James Franklin, who took the head coaching job at Vanderbilt on Friday. ... Sources said that former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach would be the leading candidate to replace Friedgen if he is forced into retirement, with former Washington coach Tyrone Willingham and current New Mexico coach Mike Locksley also candidates for the job.Maryland May Ask Ralph Friedgen to Retire and Accept Buyout (ESPN, HT Testudo Times)
