À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
One of the world's most famous and esteemed museums, the Hermitage houses a vast collection of priceless artwork. It's also an architectural gem, as you will see upon visiting areas such as the Small Throne Room, the gilded-column Armorial Hall, and the sumptuous Malachite Room, which features more than two tons of ornamental stone.
Walking through the ensemble of buildings, you will marvel at the seemingly endless exhibitions. There are displays of 15th- and 16th-century French art, as well as Impressionist works from Renoir, Degas, Monet, Van Gogh, and Cezanne. You might see Leonardo da Vinci's "The Little Madonna," "Abraham's Sacrifice" by Rembrandt, and a Scythian gold stag from the 2nd century B.C. During your visit, you will also browse through the Small Hermitage, a wing known for its exquisite marble colonnade, crystal chandeliers, and gilded, 18th century Peacock Clock. In the wing known as the Old Hermitage, there is a splendid collection of Italian Renaissance art, and in the New Hermitage, the Dutch masters are represented.
Upon leaving the museum, you will walk through the Palace Square, passing the red-granite Alexander Column, a monument that commemorates Russia's victory over Napoleon before re-boarding your coach for the return transfer to the pier.
Please note: The halls of the Hermitage Museum may be closed due to restoration works or exhibitions; therefore, the order of the sites viewed or visited may change, and some of the collections may not be available to visitors. When possible, the local operator will try to arrange an early opening one-hour before the museum opens to the general public, but there is no guarantee that will be the case.

Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time.

To the editor:
On behalf of Amesbury for Africa, I want to personally thank all those who attended the 25th anniversary dinner celebration at Restaurant Molise in Amesbury on Monday, April 1. The event was held in appreciation of the many years of service by a generation of local citizens to the cause of world peace and understanding.
Amesbury for Africa is a citizen exchange group and a member sister-city organization of Sister Cities
International. For a quarter century, people from the Amesbury area have been traveling to the small farming community of Esabalu in Western Kenya. These citizen-diplomats have home-stayed with African farm families and participated in the daily life of an African village. Many of the visits have involved service activities of one sort or another. Attendees at Monday's dinner heard from members of Amesbury for Africa who reprised our many activities in health, school-to-school partnerships, literacy, water and re-forestation.
However, the most important outcome is not the projects that we and our partners in Kenya have accomplished. The most important result has been to foster some extraordinary friendships that bring our two widely diverse communities together.
Thanks especially to the 25th Anniversary committee — Chairman Deb Welch, Gaylene Main, Rose Cole and Deb Carey for organizing a successful event. Thanks to our supporters including Congressman John Tierney and Mayor Thatcher Kezer who attended. Extra special thanks goes to all those visitors to Esabalu who shared their enthusiasm, stories and camaraderie at the event. Because of you the world is a smaller and more neighborly place.
Last but not least, thanks to Antonietta and her staff at Restaurant Molise. The food and arrangements couldn't have been better!
Mark Bean
President, Amesbury for Africa

Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes left New England's Week 9 game against the Giants with a knee injury, according to ESPN New York's Jane McManus. His return is questionable.
Spikes sustained the injury on a goal line play in which he and Patriots defensive back Kyle Arrington collided while breaking up a pass. Spikes landed awkwardly and briefly remained on the turf before heading to the sideline.
Spikes has dealt with ankle injuries since his collegiate career at Florida, but he hasn't had any documented knee problems.
For more on the Patriots, visit Pats Pulpit and SB Nation Boston.

My 15 hours with football, Fritos and the freaks
September 29, 2006
[size=13pt]My fifteen hours with football, Fritos and the freaks[/size]
A steady diet of NFL makes La-Z-Boys into La-Z-Men
Thanks to advances in technology and weekend torpor, it is now possible to watch NFL football, highlights and banter for upwards of 15 straight hours on Sundays. But can one avoid unpleasant side effects such as fatigue, hemorrhoids and divorce? One man selflessly volunteered to find out -- to endure a couch-bound day that will live if not in infamy, then certainly in fanny. That man, cloaked in the nobility of human courage and a thin layer of Cheetos dust, was me. You're welcome.
9:24 a.m. ET It's still almost four hours until kickoff, but I flip on the NFL Network to get up-to-date on the big stories of the day. Instead, former coach Jim Mora is offering a detailed analysis of the Pittsburgh Steelers and their coach's habit of celebrating big plays by kissing his players. "I never kissed a player," Mora declares firmly, but later opts for full disclosure: "I've hugged 'em. Patted 'em on the rear." And then, his hand cupped just so, Mora adopts a faraway gaze of intense reverie and longing.
10:03 Have you seen the ad for the umpteenth re-release of the Star Wars DVDs? It features a dad who's all psyched that his kids get to see the same movies he loved as a boy. Anyway, toward the end of the commercial, the little girl declares that she'd love to have a Wookie like Chewbacca as a pet. A pet! And no one even says: Yo, dorko, the Wookies are a proud and sentient race of hairy bipeds capable of tremendous courage and shedding! They are not pets! (That said, little girl: if you stock the fridge with malt liquor, Billy Dee Williams will come live at your house for free. Same principle.)
10:51 This is just a rough calculation done on paper but I reckon I'm 8.6 times as likely as the average Canadian to hear the word "groin" today.
12:11 Always the highlight of any football Sunday: listening to Terry Bradshaw, the Hall of Fame quarterback turned Fox TV analyst. With his every utterance, Bradshaw reminds us that few things make for better television than pinning a microphone to a man who spent his professional life absorbing repeated blows to the head.
12:46 Terry likens the quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings to a bluetick coonhound in heat. As he speaks, you can actually feel America getting dumber. Now he's making childish faces at his colleagues. Wow -- maybe, just maybe, this will be the episode where we finally get a glimpse of the squirrel that lives inside his skull!
2:14 Delicious Fritos: the snack that puts the "eden" in "sedentary."
3:08 Used to be that a big defensive lineman would flex and prance about after making a really big play -- but in today's NFL you don't need to go to all the effort of being competent. Now you can celebrate after doing your job poorly. For instance, Buffalo just ran for a four-yard gain and, upon making the tackle, a Miami defender shook his thing -- or, possibly, his thang -- with the vigour you might expect from a Super Bowl champion and/or Solid Gold dancer. Go ahead, be like an NFL player: when you fire up the copier at work tomorrow morning, spike your latte in celebration while thrusting your pelvis suggestively. You deserve it.
6:39 It's been nine hours in front on the TV and I think my arse is finally starting to rebel. One cheek just handed the other a pamphlet promoting unionization.
6:55 Mmm . . . Swanson TV Dinner.
6:56 Eww . . . Swanson TV Dinner.
7:28 Just watched footage of a mohawked receiver commemorating a touchdown by doing the chicken dance. This is what makes the NFL great -- the ritual of excess. The league is all about end-zone celebrations inspired by Busby Berkeley and diva freak-outs inspired by Jennifer Lopez. It's about cheerleaders pulling on their short-shorts and slipping on their cleavage-showcasing tops that accentuate every curve, every perky nuance, and... where was I going with this again? Oh, right. It's about someone at NBC's Football Night in America saying, "Hey, I know, let's not call them highlights. Let's call them MEGA-highlights!" -- and not only someone saying that, but the producers agreeing: "Yeah, that'll make 'em seem more important and large than regular ol' highlights!!"
7:55 Are ad agencies even trying anymore? Here's the new slogan for a certain refreshing beverage: "This is Budweiser. This is Beer." So what you're saying is that Anheuser-Busch actually paid money for that? Hey Cadillac, here's one you can have as a freebie: This is Cadillac. This is a Car. That Building Over There is a House. That Thing You Want to Punch Our Ad Guys With -- That's Your Fist.
8:18 The final game of the night is just starting but already I feel my eyelids getting heavy. Could be fatigue -- or it could have something to do with me having put on nine pounds today.
9:22 On a day that will separate the La-Z-Boys from the La-Z-Men, I am now watching football standing up. I am so ashamed.
11:33 Dallas wins the nightcap, 27-10. After 849 minutes, and approximately the same number of Doritos, I turn off the TV. I am none the wiser and all the fatter. Also: less than 21 hours 'til Monday Night Football.

That is a great quoteWhat we've got here is failure to communicate.
Re: My 15 hours with football, Fritos and the freaks
I would STILL rather hear Bradshaw than Ache-man and F***ing Joe *uck!!!BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE

Weekend WODSI ended up doing the three sport Interval Swim on Friday since I had a race scheduled for today: 800 Warm Up (200 Free Style, 200 Drills, 200 Pull, 200 Kick); 6x100 (75 at 90%, 25 easy); 800 Cool Down (200 Kick, 200 Pull, 400 Freestyle).
Friday's S&C:
Strength: Linear Strength Progression -
Back Squat 5x5 (165 LB)
Bench Press 5x5 (125, 135, 145, 155, 4x165 before failure)
Power Clean 5x5 (95, 105, 115, 125, 135)
Conditioning: 3 Minutes of Ball Slams @50, 2 Minutes of Box Step Ups @24", 1 Minute of Air Squats, 6 Minutes to Achieve a 1 Rep Max on Snatch (128 Reps; Snatches @95, 115, 125 PR, 135 Fail)
Today I had an 8K Race. The course was a little off so the distance was more like 4.5 miles. Time was 30:02 (Pace was 6:40 per mile)
I was too late to do the normal conditioning WOD at the BOX. I made it in time for the 11 AM Hero WOD so I ended up doing a modified version of Griff. For TIme: Run 800 Backwards, 400 forwards, 800 Backwards, 400 Forwards. Time was 12:06.
Finished up with a 5 minute AMRAP of Cindy to get some upper body work in: 5 Pull Ups, 10 Push Ups, 15 Air Squats.Rougly 5 1/2 Rounds in 5 minutes.
Bike WOD tomorrow. I may also do a short conditioning WOD with some weight in it to even out all of today's metabolic conditioning.

Daily Results / Experiment #2Another Race Day Nutrition Simulation Experiiment which included today's CFE programming.
Ate 4 whole eggs (scrambled) w/ a side of nuked-in-a-tea-cup 1 Tbsp almond butter + 1 tsp coconut oil + 1/4 c frozen blueberries + dash cinnamon, mix up & devour.
Took in 24 oz. of water as I waited 30 minutes for my stomach to start emptying. (Gulping water empties the stomach faster)
The Plan: Go 2-2.5 hrs training intensely w/o refueling, only drinking water.
3S/BIKE: 30:00 TT, on MTB = 7.3M
>> Rode to CrossFit Lincoln
5-10:00 T1, setting up bar & warming-up movements
WOD Rx'd = 4:58
10:00-15:00 T2, putting away equipment, help coach the Team WOD, answer questions about my experiment (LOL)
3S/BIKE: 30:00 TT, on MTB = 6.6M
>> Back home w/ 19 mph headwind + 30 mph gusts
I felt "full" and full of energy throughout the duration, and even until the 3 hr mark, when I took in some more fat/pro after 30-45 mins of SMR/MobWOD.

Blood Sugar Monitoring
Your Guide to Finding the Best Blood Sugar Meter
When shopping for a new blood sugar meter, you should consider the features the meter offers. Finding the right meter to meet your needs is important. Here is a shopper's guide to help you choose the blood glucose meter that will meet your basic diabetes management needs.
Blood Sugar Meters with the Largest Storage Capacity
Learn which blood sugar meters have the largest data storage capacity that allow you to track long-term trends.
How Accurate Is Your Glucose Meter?
If you check your blood sugar you assume that your glucose meter gives you accurate readings every time you check your blood. You rely on these numbers to manage your diabetes. While most meters are accurate, you might be surprised to know some additional things about your meter that will better help you manage your diabetes.
Blood Sugar Meters with Smallest Required Sample
When choosing a blood sugar meter it is important to first determine which features are most important for your needs. Not all blood sugar meters are the same. For many, the most important feature is the size of the blood sample. The smaller the better, especially when testing a child's blood sugar. Here are the meters that require the least...
How to Check Your Blood Sugar
Checking your blood sugar (glucose) is the only way you can confidently know what your blood sugar level is at any given time. Fortunately, we now have many small, pocket-sized blood glucose monitoring devices that require only a very small blood sample.
What is a Hemoglobin A1c Test?
A hemoglobin A1c test, sometimes referred to as just A1c, is a test used to measure your blood sugar (also called glucose) over the past 2 to 3 months. It is an important benchmark for people with diabetes because it gives you a way to gauge the levels of glucose in your bloodstream over a relatively long period of time.
Audible Blood Sugar Meters
In recent years there have been a number of blood sugar meters that provide the option to audibly hear glucose test results. Being able to hear the blood sugar test result is especially important for those with vision problems. This feature reduces the potential for error in visually impaired individuals and gives them the ability to...
Why Blood Glucose Drops After Exercise
Exercise causes your blood sugar to drop. Not only is this normal but it can also be used to help manage your blood sugar in a healthy way. But you must be mindful of how exercise acts on your body to reduce blood glucose in order to prevent low blood sugar levels during and especially following exercise.
Hemoglobin and Diabetes
Hemoglobin and diabetes have an ongoing relationship. Glucose collects on hemoglobin in your red blood cells and stays there for up to 3 months. A test, called hemoglobin A1c, measures the average amount of glucose in your blood over that time period. This test is a vital part of your diabetes management.
Blood Sugar and Ketone Meters
Some blood sugar meters also test for blood ketones. It is particularly important to test for ketones during periods of illness. Learn which meters have the dual function of testing blood sugar and also blood ketones.
Blood Sugar Meter Features - Most Important Meter Features
There are many blood glucose meters on the market with various features. Most allow for computer download of test results. Some offer a backlight display for testing in low light areas. Others give you the ability to check for ketones or assess your blood pressure. A handful "speak" your test results audibly. Several require no coding or require...
Blood Sugar Meters That Communicate with Insulin Pumps
Newer technology allows some blood sugar meters to now communicate with specific insulin pumps. This can be especially helpful with calculating the insulin bolus dose. Learn which blood sugar meters send wireless messages to an insulin pump.
A1c Home Test Kits - Using A1c Home Test Kits
A1c tests have become increasingly important to overall diabetes management. Most people with type 1 have 2-4 A1c tests a year, at best. But it is almost universally acknowledged that these tests, if done regularly (every 2-3 months), could give the person with diabetes a better handle on their glucose management efforts.
Meters that Test Blood Sugar and Blood Pressure
It is not coincidental that some makers of blood sugar meters also create the ability for the meter to measure blood pressure. Two common health problems associated with diabetes are high blood pressure and heart disease. Studies have shown that you can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease linked to diabetes by keeping your blood sugar...
Alternative Blood Sugar Testing - Using Alternative Blood Sug…
Alternative blood sugar testing is now common. Even though most people with type 1 diabetes still check their blood sugar by pricking the side or tip of their finger, other sites are available. Most meters are equipped to check sugar from alternate sites. Do you currently or have you previously used alternate sites for testing your blood sugar?
Interpreting the A1c Test
The A1c test measures your average glucose (blood sugar) levels over about a 3 month period of time. Everyone has some glucose attached to the hemoglobin in their blood. The question is how much? The higher the concentration, the more that is attached to the glucose. Learn how to read the result of this important diabetes test.
Important Features of Blood Sugar Meters
Nearly all blood glucose meters are small, portable and fast at providing results. But that's where the similarities end. Of the six dozen or so blood glucose meters currently on the market, there are many features to choose from. When shopping for a glucose meter, consider the following features to find the meter that best fits your needs.
A1c Home Test Kits
Hemoglobin A1c home test kits can be a valuable resource for checking longer-range blood sugar for those with type 1 diabetes. It is recommended that those with type 1 diabetes check their A1c at least twice a year and four times a year for others.
Interpreting the A1c Test - How to Interpret the A1c Test
The hemoglobin A1c test you gives results in percentages, which is different from the numbers you get when you check your blood with your daily glucose meter. Some people find it difficult or confusing to convert the percentage from the A1c text to numbers that correspond to their daily blood glucose meter.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring - Why Use Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Continuous glucose monitoring is quickly gaining popularity as the preferred form of glucose management. Current cutting-edge technology is called a sensor-augmented pump (SAP). It combines an insulin pump with a continuous glucose sensor that transmits glucose readings to the person wearing the device every five minutes. It is the next...
What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is a condition where your body is unable to effectively use the insulin that it makes. If insulin resistance continues, it can lead to a number of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Alternate Blood Sugar Testing Sites
An alternative blood testing site is a body location other than your fingertip where you can reliably test your blood glucose. Common alternative blood testing sites include the palm, forearm, upper arm, thigh and calf.
Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)- About Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
Estimated average glucose (eAG) is a term that was introduced to help you convert the number from your A1c test into numbers that would more closely represent your daily glucose meter readings. It takes the mystery out of your A1c reading and helps you better manage your diabetes.
Blood Sugar Meters - What You Would Look for in Your Next Blo…
Not all blood sugar meters are the same. They vary in size, shape, memory capacity, size of blood sample needed and technology for uploading to your computer of doctor's office. What components do you look for when choosing a blood sugar meter? What features would you recommend and why?
Hemoglobin A1c - Knowing Your hemoglobin A1c Helps You Manage…
Your hemoglobin A1c is considered an important part of your overall glucose management. But, some people don't think it is helpful. How about you? Do you get an A1c test at least two times a year? If so, do you find that benchmark helpful in managing your diabetes? If not, explain why you don't find it helpful.
Diabetes Travel Kit...Being Prepared for Emergencies
Diabetes travel kits are needed whether you are traveling weeks at a time away from home or out for an afternoon of errands. The need to have these supplies with you at all times cannot be emphasized enough. Learn what you need and be prepared for the unexpected.
Estimated Average Glucose (eAG)
Estimated Average Glucose (eAG) is a new concept that allows you to take your A1c test results and convert them into numbers like you see on your glucose meter. Learn more how you can make these easy calculations.
Hemoglobin A1C Test
The hemoglobin A1c test is a vital part of managing your type 1 diabetes. This test, also commonly referred to as A1c, is a measure of your blood sugar control over the past 2-3 months. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the A1c test.
How to Choose a Blood Glucose Meter
Using a blood glucose meter is not optional for someone with type 1 diabetes. But all meters are not created equal. The goal is to find the one that best fits your needs and lifestyle. Learn what questions you should ask before you buy your meter.
Getting Started With Glucose Monitoring
One of the first things you learn to do after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes is to check you blood sugar levels. Why? Because effective management of your diabetes depends on frequent testing. Learn why testing your blood is important and ways you can get your testing meter at low cost or even free.
Types of Glucose Meters
Fortunately, there are many types of blood glucose meters available today. In fact, there are so many it can be hard to choose. DiabetesNet makes the process of choosing a little easier by providing a comprehensive lineup of current glucose meters along with important information for each one.
Blood Glucose Monitoring
Blood glucose monitoring is the cornerstone of good diabetes management. Learn how to perform a blood glucose test and why glucose testing is so important in this informative article from About.com.
Glucose Testing and Record Keeping
Keeping accurate records of your glucose readings will help you to better manage your diabetes and also help your doctor adjust your insulin and solve problems associated with fluctuating glucose levels. The National Diabetes Education Program offers a sample glucose log that you can print for easy recording of your glucose results.
HbA1c Tests
The HbA1c test measures your blood glucose levels for the past 60 to 90 days and is an important part of your overall diabetes management. Learn how this test is performed and how to interpret your scores in this article from About.com.
Estimated Average Glucose
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is promoting a new term called "Estimated Average Glucose." It is the number of the standard A1c test (also known as glycated hemoglobin or HbA1c) converted into your average blood glucose levels like you see on your glucose meter. The ADA has a hand conversion chart and an online calculator for more specific conversions.
Keytone Testing Options
Ketone testing should be part of every person's type 1 diabetes management plan. You have three basic options when you wish to test for the presence of ketones.
Ketone Blood Testing
Ketone blood testing has been the gold standard for assessing the presence of ketones. Learn about ketone blood testing.
How to Read Blood Ketone Test Results
Ketone blood testing is the preferred method for assessing the presence of ketones during times of sickness. Ketone blood testing uses different measurements than the numbers you are familiar with on your glucose meter. Learn how to interpret the numbers for ketone blood testing.

Major: Community Psychology
For me, writing is quite similar to learning a second language. Both require tremendous effort and patience. I am familiar with this process all too well. Growing up in Russia, I never imagined that the English language would become a fundamental part of my daily life. While I have had over ten years to master the English language and develop my writing skills, I can certainly understand the frustrations of most ESL students. A new language is paired with unfamiliar writing techniques and guidelines which can be overwhelming and difficult to understand.
Still, producing a well written paper, just like learning a language, is possible for anyone. Whether writing a reflective piece or a twelve page research paper, I truly enjoy each step of the writing process from the outline to the final revisions. While attending University of Washington Bothell, I have had the opportunity to develop myself as a writer in social sciences as well as hard sciences. I am currently studying Community Psychology at the UW Bothell campus. In addition to pursuing my degree, I am finishing up my prerequisites for dental school. My areas of strength include thesis development, research papers, personal statements and lab reports.
As a writing consultant, I hope to provide a collaborative and comfortable environment where students discover their strengths. Whether you're perplexed by citing guidelines or struggling to begin a paper, come see us at the UWB writing center because we can help with that!
The UW Bothell campus houses the largest wetlands restoration project in the state of Washington.

JVC announces the release of the latest Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier (D-ILA) projector, the DLA-SX21S. With the addition of a 1:1 fixed wide-angle lens with 0% offset, the DLA-SX21S has been developed for applications that require short throw, such as mounting into a rear-projection cabinet, or in rear-projection room installations where space behind the screen is limited. The SX21 is ideal when used in conjunction with JVC's range of CinePro optical rear-projection screen material, allowing the projected image, even under normal room lighting, to remain bright, crisp and clear, with no loss of contrast.
In contrast to other projection technologies the D-ILA projector display technology, used in the SX21, provides flicker-free images which has the advantage of reducing eye strain over long term viewing.
Stunning projection images are delivered by three high-performance SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) 0.7" D-ILA devices (1.5M pixels x 3). Combined with ultra-high 1.5M-pixel resolution, dramatic high-resolution pictures are produced with superb colour reproduction capability.
The user-friendly, ergonomic, compact design of the DLA-SX21S makes it easy to install. It weighs only 5.5 kg and is highly portable.
This versatile, D-ILA projector is ideal for motion picture presentations as well as for multi-view imaging in CCTV monitoring & control rooms, for CAD CAM and other technical and military training, for viewing medical scans and for executive boardrooms.
Advanced colour and image accuracy for today's and tomorrow's HD needs:
Several features of the DLA-SX21S allow the projector to reach extremely high accuracy levels for HD viewing. The DVI-D plug-and-play interface provides direct digital- to- digital input for the absolute highest quality image reproduction without degradation.
Optimising colour reproduction elements (i.e. colour temperature, gamma & RGB gamut), the JVC colour management system gives professionals the choice of four colour modes (sRGB, Mac, Adobe & EBU) to best match their needs. An extra-high contrast ratio of 800:1 allows the DLA-SX21S to project images with high fidelity, crisp edges and great depth.
For high-resolution reproduction of HDTV or DVD images, the digital image scaling technology (DIST) circuitry provides sophisticated de-interlacing and scaling algorithms. The DLA-SX21S accepts analogue signals in the NTSC/PAL, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080/24sF and HDTV formats ensuring total compatibility with current and future DTV/HDTV signals.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A plan to construct a new fire house in north Toledo is going to cost the city a lot more than originally planned.
The project was originally projected to cost the city $5 million. Now contractors say an additional $600,000 is needed for extra materials dirt to stabilize the station.
The 14,000 square foot facility will allow the department to get to fires in the north end faster. The department had planned for crews to finish construction sometime this summer. Now, that deadline will have to be pushed back.
"In any construction project you're gonna have issues, you're gonna have over runs and problems that come up and I don't see this as anything different than that," said Toledo Fire Lieutenant Matthew Hertzfeld.
The department says samples of soil were taken before construction by the contractor in charge of the project, Midwest Contracting. Once construction started, TFD says it was discovered more fill will be needed to stabilize the new station.
City Finance Director George Sarantou says the money will come from the 2014 capital improvement budget.
"It is a go. It's an important project for the citizens of north Toledo and Mayor Collins is committed, as usual to public safety," said Sarantou.
City leaders say the delays will not put residents at risk.

Leslie , Phoenix, Az
Age: 27
I am BRCA1 positive, single, with no children. I discovered my status 3 yrs ago. I am currently using surveilance until I am ready for surgeries!
I'm more than my risk… some fun facts about myself:

Add your Voice
If you'd like to add your own story to our Voices of FORCE pages, please complete our Voices of FORCE form.
My journey
I always knew I had a strong "family history", many family members have died from cancers, (prostate and breast). My mom was initially diagnosed 17 yrs ago at age 32 with breast cancer and then almost 3 yrs ago it came back and she was in a short remission only to have it recur again last year. My mom is now Stage 4 Metastatic and trying to live with cancer. With her 2nd recurrence, she was tested and came back positive for the BRCA1 mutation. My brother and I immediately tested and were both found to be positive. I felt such tremendous relief when I was given my test results! It was such a release of the fear I lived in, knowing I was positive allowed me to gain some kind of control over my health and my life. I was no longer living with the fear of what if or when, but what am I going to do to stop this. With this new knowledge I immediately scheduled an appointment for the screening recommendations given to me by my genetic counselor. I am always nervous waiting for my results, but feel better knowing that I am doing everything I can to screen myself. I am planning to have prophylactic masectomies and hysterectomy when I turn 30, I feel if I wait any longer than that, it may be too late. I have also started excercising more and eating better, because despite what "genes" I was given, I have the power to be proactive and save my own life!
The hardest part of my journey
One of the tough parts of this journey is the feeling that I don't have all the time in the world to do some things. Some of the plans I made for life now have to be fast forwarded because I am on a time crunch. I thought I had more time to have kids, but the longer I wait, is the longer I wait for a hysterectomy, which is not good. So my personal cut off is 30, no exceptions! Despite this feeling, it has allowed me to re-prioritze my life, things that I thought were so important aren't anymore. I have learned to value what is really important to me.
If I could do it over again
I have no regrets, everything happens for a reason!
My participation with FORCE
After learning my results, I immediately went online to find out what resources were available to me and to educate myself about my condition. That was when I discovered FORCE, it was amazing to see so many others were just like me! I didn't feel so alone and the information I get from them and the updates have been wonderful! I was able to let my mom know about studies and new meds to help her and find out more info to educate people on BRCA genes. I post the website and the info I get from them on my social networking sites whenever I can. I work in the healthcare field and whenever I speak to someone who has a cancer that might be linked to a BRCA mutation, I tell them to look into testing and refer them to FORCE.
Other thoughts
I hope that by sharing my story and experiences I can encourage people to test and become educated on their options. Testing is the first step, what they do with it is up to them. Prevention is better than reaction!

Oklahoma DUI Laws & Penalties
In Oklahoma a DUI is defined under title 47 of the Oklahoma statute § 47-11-902 v1 . There are a few different drunk driving violations available in OK including DUI, DWI and a unique charge to the state referred to as APC (or Actual Physical Control).
An Oklahoma drunk driving case is something to take very seriously. If you are arrested on DUI charges in the state of Oklahoma, you will be facing very strict penalties, high fees, and the possibility of losing your driving privileges. You should contact an Oklahoma DUI lawyer as soon as possible.
Don't Wait To Get Help!
In an Oklahoma DUI case you are facing the possibility of losing your license. You only have fifteen days after your arrest that you can use to request your hearing with the Department of Public Safety. Your Oklahoma DUI lawyer will help you to request this hearing if you have not yet done so. If you delay, you could automatically have your license taken by the state.
Two Types of Oklahoma DUI Convictions
You can be convicted of an Oklahoma DUI based on two different scenarios. If you are driving erratically and have also been drinking, you can be arrested because the officer may determine that your driving abilities have been significantly impaired by the amount of alcohol you consumed regardless of whether or not you are over the legal limit
However, even if your driving is perfectly fine, the per se laws in Oklahoma say that if you are driving with a blood alcohol content of .08% or more, you can also be arrested for an Oklahoma DUI. In that instance no evidence of impairment is necessary at all. Just a chemical test showing a .08% BAC or greater.
Other Oklahoma Drunk Driving Offenses
Oklahoma also has classifications for other types of drunk driving violations which include DWI orDriving While Impaired and APC or being in Actual Physical Control.
Oklahoma DWI: This charge is generally reserved for those instances where the driver is arrested with a BAC below that of the legal limit of .08%. It is a reduction from a DUI charge.
Oklahoma APC: This is generally reserved for those persons not actually driving a motor vehicle but still in actual physical control of the vehicle; for instance the vehicle could be parked and someone is under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and is in the vehicle with the keys in a position of control (driver seat, sole possession of the keys, etc...).
Oklahoma DUI Penalties
When you are arrested for an Oklahoma DUI, you face fines, penalties, and license suspensions. The severity of the punishment relates to how many other drunk driving convictions you have in your driving history along with other aggravating factors. Keep in mind that the courts will look back in your record for a period of ten years in calculating prior offenses.
First Offense Oklahoma DUI
- Misdemeanor charges
- Jail time of 10 days up to 1 year
- Fine of $1,000 or less
- Drivers license suspension for 180 days
Second Offense Oklahoma DUI
- Felony charges
- Jail time of 1 to 5 years in prison
- Up to $2,500 in fines
- Drivers license revocation for 1 year
- Ignition interlock system required for 6 months to 3 years after the revocation period
Third Offense Oklahoma DUI
- Felony charges
- 1 and 10 years in prison
- Up to $5,000 in fines
- Drivers license revocation for 3 years
- Ignition interlock system will be require for up to 3 years after revocation period
Oklahoma BAC Assumptions
- BAC levels of .001 to .05 are not considered to be under the influence
- BAC levels of .051 to .079 is considered evidence of impairment, but additional evidence will be required for a conviction
- BAC levels of .08 or greater are considered to be under the influence
Oklahoma Implied Consent Laws
- Chemical testing is allowed for blood, breath, urine or saliva to be selected by the officer.
- The officer is required to advise the defendant of the penalties for test refusal.
- Tests that result in a BAC of .08 or greater result in a 180 day revocation.
- Test refusal results in an immediate license seizure and a 180 day to 3 year license suspension. Refusal is admissible in court.
Chemical Testing
- In order for a chemical test to be valid and considered admissible in court, the test must be performed by a qualified person in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Imfluence. Samples for blood and breath must be taken within 2 hours of the arrest.
- Blood draws for police testing must be administered by a licensed physician, registered nurse or other qualified person.
- The defendant has the right to have an independent chemical test done by a qualified person of their choice. The costs of an independent test are the responsibility of the defendant.
- Test results must be made available to the defendant and their Oklahoma DUI attorneyupon request.
Remember that in addition to the above penalties the courts will most likely require alcohol education and/ or treatment programs. Also, you will need to get Oklahoma SR22 insurance for a period of 3 years after a DUI offense.

SR22 Insurance Considerations after a Oklahoma DUI
SR22 insurance is required in the state of Oklahoma after a DUI conviction. This type of insurance is classified as 'high risk' meaning you are a higher risk to the insurance companies so consequently they will charge more for taking on more risk.

Hi forum,
I just wanted to take the time to personally say THANK-YOU to ALL of the present and past Veterans, that has proudly served this great nation of ours.
I also want to list this poem by Charles Province and the one that Rudi places on the closing of his emails. I have this in one of my books and I think it explains it all and puts everything in perspective.
It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate.
It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and
whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
I think it's fitting for our countries, BOTH United States and my friends in Canada. I also sent this to poem to Donny's son Keith over in Fallujah Iraq.
Doesn't matter if you supported President Bush in last week's election or not. He is our elected Commander-n-Chief, Please pray for his good judgement and by ALL means keep our troops in your thoughts and prayers, home and far.
Don't forget to display our flag (if you don't already) in observance of our thanks on the day set aside for VETERAN'S DAY.
May God bless and THANK YOU VETERANS from the bottom of my heart. You have all done US well.
Proudly supporting our troops and veterans,
John Niekamp
Quincy, IL USA

Price Paid: $25
I'm a firefighter and have used this flashlight for the last 10 years. It has held up real well to heavy abuse. The clip broke off and one call to Pelican, and they shipped out a new clip no questions asked.
This is a great flashlight and you won't go wrong if you decide to purchase it. You'll be very happy you did.

Price Paid: $20
This light is very good. I purchased mine over 10 years ago for scuba diving. The model looks slightly different now but has the same spec. VERY bright...and has a long throw...very focused beam. Has solid feel to it. It is not small to fit in a pocket but not overly big either. I have been on the same set of batteries for over 5 years regular use (few times a week for about 5 min at a time).
Own two of these lights. Very bright light and tough…
Price Paid: Don't Remember
Own two of these lights. Very bright light and tough beyond reason. Rated for use in hazardous atmospheres.
The older of the two lights was dropped about 40' to a steel deck and broke the belt clip. This light has been used so much that the corners are all rounded off like they had been worked over with sandpaper but the light is still going strong. I have replaced the lamp cartridge at least 3 or 4 times. The new one stays new because the old one keeps going and going.
Couple of days ago I recommended to a customer that they buy 40 of these lights to make sure they had at least one left to make an entry into a confined hazardous space.

Unlikely IMF will be more favourable after Sandy
Dear Editor,
Our government - not the International Monetary Fund - has made three proposals that will enable us to draw down on much-needed aid, if we fulfil them. But with the passing of hurricane Sandy, it seems the government is expecting that the IMF will have sympathy on us and postpone the commitment we made.
This is unlikely because Jamaica's middle-income status will not allow world bodies to look more favourably on us, not when there are so many countries that have slipped below us. It is not that we have moved up; others have fallen below us.
At a glance, and not getting a true reflection, some people might believe that Jamaicans are wealthy. If we juxtapose the performance of our athletes along with living standards of our leaders in both the public and private sectors, the impression created would be wrong.
It is only when we have natural disasters like hurricane Sandy that the nasty underbelly of poverty and degradation is fully exposed. That is when the full glare of the camera focuses on the gut-churning poverty of a place like Majesty Gardens. The true picture becomes a reality and the charade of "Jamaica no problem" is dispelled. If we are indeed the happiest people in the world then we probably belong in a mental asylum.
