Lamar County fire crews freed a 2-year-old child who had been stuck in a well drain pipe on Thursday.The incident happened off Martin Dairy Road in Milner. The boy, Carter Altman, was playing in his backyard when the ground gave way. Carter fell about 10 feet onto a ledge and was trapped for a half hour.
"I didn't know what to think. I didn't want anything to cave in around him because it was such a small hole. I was scared I was going to lose him," said Kelli Altman, the boy's mother.Rescuers had to use high-powered flashlights to see Carter's head. "He was crying a little bit -- I just think he was disoriented. He didn't have any idea what was going on," said the boy's great uncle, Chase Idol.Emergency crews said Carter – who doesn't speak much yet – wouldn't lift his arms up until they lowered down his favorite toy with a rope. "They finally got him to free up one hand, so they could get a rope around his hand. They made a noose, tightened it up, and then just lifted up by his hand," said Idol. Carter's mother said she was elated when her son was pulled out."Oh, I was so excited, he was very dirty. But he got a bath and got some clean clothes on. I'm just glad he's OK," said Kelli Altman. Family members say they've gotten a lot of rain lately, and they believe that made the dirt in the well unstable, to the point where the soil on top gave way.Crews say their job will be to fill in the hole to make sure another incident doesn't occur.
Carter suffered a couple of scratches but is expected to be OK.

Where's the Love for Mike Richards?
If you asked ten hockey fans who the guy in the picture was, I would bet that all ten would have no clue. If you asked ten Flyer fans, they would all identify him as their one of their teams leading scorers, Mike Richards.
In case you haven't noticed, Mike Richards is having a damn good start to the 2007-08 season. As of tonight, in which he added two assists in a 3-1 win in Carolina, Richards has notched 30 points, good enough for sixth in overall scoring in the NHL. His 14 goals and 16 assists has helped revitalized the Philadelphia Flyers and brought back some respectability to the franchise after a disastrous start to the post-lockout NHL. Yet, while Philly is on the East Coast, he doesn't seem to be getting any attention from fans. Looking at the latest All-Star voting numbers, Richards is 18th with 19,783 votes, behind teammates Daniel Briere (62,867) and Simon Gagne (22,946), even though the Flyers captain has only played in 10 games this year and tallied 8 points. Richards has only been kept off the scoresheet five times in twenty-four games played this season.
I've stated before that I'm not a big fan of the "Vote for Rory"-type campaigns, but someone has started one for Richards. While the "Vote for Rory" situation was just a way to exploit the NHL's All-Star voting process, any campaign to put Mike Richards in Atlanta is definitely well-deserved.

Richards likes to pick fights while wearing his visor-clad helmet so he doesn't get my vote. However, I'll definitely Vote For Boogey!
- December 2, 2007 at 7:58 PM
Are you kidding me, Scotty Hockey? Richards wears a visor, yes, but ever notice how he TAKES HIS HELMET OFF before he fights?
Mike Richards has hands down been the Flyers best player this year. He definitely has my vote, and many, many others' also.

Our road markings are vanishing!
8:00am Saturday 17th May 2014 in News By Tom Edwards, Political Reporter
NEARLY 100 road markings on routes across Worcestershire need 'urgent' repainting, according to a hard-hitting report which criticises councils for allowing them to fall into a poor state.
The Road Safety Markings Association has produced a dossier categorising routes across the country for the condition of what it calls the "humble white line".
As part of the study it collected data from four miles of roads in Worcestershire and says state of the county's markings are "above average", but has warned of a "relatively large" number of routes in need of urgent attention based on the sample.
Eighty per cent of the white lines surveyed in the sample were deemed 'satisfactory' and two per cent 'good', while 16 per cent are deemed to need new permanent markings within 28 days to meet national guidelines.
Across the country 12 per cent got the top grading, which means Worcestershire is lagging behind in terms of having excellent markings, but it is doing far better in terms of routes rated as 'satisfactory', where the average is just 50 per cent.
The association has called for fresh investment from councils, saying too many authorities are failing to keep road markings in an acceptable condition.
George Lee, a director at the body, said: "Despite assurances of their commitment to road safety, those responsible for the upkeep of our roads continue to neglect the most cost-effective safety device available to road engineers, the white line.
"The humble white line can save lives and it is therefore important they are maintained to a sufficient standard that they do their job properly - if a line is so worn that it cannot be seen it puts lives at risk."
The association says Worcestershire compares reasonably well to other authorities, but must do more to bring down the tally of markings which need attention.
Although it has not released details of the exact roads, across Worcestershire it says 96 markings were flagged up as in need of fresh repainting.
Councillor John Smith, cabinet member for highways and transportation at the county council, said: "Some roads in Worcestershire are not as wide as we'd ideally like, and in those cases we would deliberately not put white markings on them.
"But we'll certainly look at the statistics the group has come up with and seek to improve routes in the county where we can."

How many drivers manage to stop at the correct point at a road junction? If one is provided most seem to use the section that is marked for bicycles. (I said it for you i-cycle) otherwise they just stop with the back wheels on the line.

A Parker County woman caught on camera stealing Christmas lights has been sentenced to 70 years in jail for stealing power tools, according to Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain.
Dana Brock walked into the garage of an Aledo home in May and took a pressure washer and gas-operated weed eater.
Police found the items at her house.
At her trial, prosecutors played security video from December 2012, which shows Brock stealing Christmas decorations from Aledo homes.
Prosecutors reportedly went for a tough sentence because of her criminal history.

CC sets new standard for Draft participation
Left-hander, son announce Yankees' first-round selection
SECAUCUS, N.J. -- CC Sabathia was the 20th overall selection by Cleveland in the 1998 First-Year Player Draft, and he always wanted to be part of it again in some way. On Monday night, the Yankees' ace brought along his 8-year-old son and became the first active Major League Baseball player to participate in the event since it became a live show in 2007.
Commissioner Bud Selig said Sabathia took the initiative himself to be part of the proceedings, and Selig eagerly granted his approval. It was an off-day for the Yankees before they open a homestand Tuesday against Tampa Bay, and Sabathia was between outings, scheduled to make his next start on Thursday against David Price.
"I was excited watching the Draft last year and told the [Yankees] organization I would like to be involved," Sabathia said.
Sabathia not only sat at the Yankees' table beside Tim McIntosh as the club's representatives on the Draft floor, but he and "Little C" were allowed by Selig to take over the podium to make the following announcement:
"With the 30th selection of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, the New York Yankees select Ty Hensley, right-handed pitcher from Santa Fe High School in Edmond, Oklahoma."
It was the first time anyone other than Selig announced a first-round selection in the Draft's modern presentation.
"CC wanted to be here -- really wanted to be here," Selig said. "Pat [Courtney, MLB senior vice president of public relations] gave me the word and wanted to know if it would be all right with me and I said I was thrilled, great. ... CC has always been a great representative of our game and I personally thank him for being here.
"You love when you have people who show that kind of interest. So here you have one of the great stars in our game, who cares enough so that he is here to help me announce the Yankees' pick. There are other players all around who have asked about the Draft, have been involved in it, and it shows a real interest and a real caring."
Sabathia was surrounded by legends representing other clubs, and he enjoyed his time mingling with friends and those he had not met before. He recalled what it felt like to be selected out of high school in Vallejo, Calif.
"It was nerve-wracking," Sabathia said. "I was in California, so it was a little earlier that I got the news. I ended up in a great organization with the Indians."
John Hart was the Indians GM who drafted Sabathia, and he was part of the MLB Network studio crew providing analysis in the same room.
"We loved the arm, he was an experienced guy, talked to the family, we loved his makeup," Hart recalled. "But we were concerned, thought he would go faster before us. He's not only been great on the field, but this is what you're supposed to look like when you draft somebody."
Sabathia is 7-2 this year for the Yankees. As for his 2012 season, he said: "I feel pretty good. Been a little inconsistent, would like to go out and command the fastball a little better and pitch better."
As for his sidekick? "This is 'Little C.' He's a big baseball fan, so I brought him out."

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
There's no getting around the fact that integrating immigrants costs money. That explains why recession-battered European countries, as well as a number of U.S. states, made cuts to programs affecting immigrants in 2009 and again in 2010.
Europe's largest minority group has long faced discrimination, but France's deportation of Roma as part of its security policies has sparked criticism from the European Union and human rights groups. Kristi Severance explains how the situation has evolved in recent months, the relevant EU laws, and how Europe is likely to move forward.
Since joining the European Union in 2004, Poland has experienced one of the largest emigration flows in its postwar history. But the country has also received thousands of immigrants and refugees, mainly from its eastern neighbors, and is just beginning to invest in immigrant integration. Krystyna Iglicka and Magdalena Ziolek-Skrzypczak look at all aspects of migration in Poland in this updated profile.
In its newest five-year "roadmap" for justice and home affairs policy, the European Union has made migration a priority area. But while the Stockholm program offers plenty of detail on issues like illegal migration and asylum, it offers few specifics as to the final goal. MPI's Elizabeth Collett analyzes the program's action points and looks at challenges facing its implementation.
Over the past year, long-standing discussions and negotiations have resulted in several new information-sharing initiatives that seek to boost security while facilitating travel for legitimate travelers.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.
The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
This report discusses the political debate surrounding national identity in the Netherlands against the backdrop of growing public anxiety about immigrants and their effect on local communities. While policies designed to mitigate these fears largely stress national identity and demand cultural assimilation, the report provides an alternative set of recommendations based on the notion of plural identification.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.
As the European Commission looks ahead to the next strategic program for immigration in 2014, this policy brief sketches the challenges in developing a strategic, long-term agenda on migration at a time when Europe remains beset by fiscal uncertainty and a jobs crisis that is particularly acute for the young. Against such a backdrop, few governments are willing to have a serious conversation about anything but skilled immigration.
Across the Atlantic, large-scale migration has brought about unprecedented levels of diversity, transforming communities in fundamental ways — with a resulting immigration backlash and criticism of "multiculturalism." This volume delivers recommendations on what policymakers must do to build and reinforce inclusiveness given the realities on each side of the Atlantic.
How the anti-immigrant political movement and rancorous debates surrounding immigration will impact countries' ability to build strong economies and vibrant, diverse societies is yet to be determined. This discussion focuses on the factors and players that contribute to this environment, an analysis on the current situation in both Europe and the United States, and a discussion on its implications for community cohesion and national identity in European countries and the United States.
This report focuses on the development of children of Black immigrants in the United States, comparing against the outcomes for their peers in native-born and other immigrant families. It also compares these U.S. children to those in the United Kingdom, where there is a large Black immigrant population but a notably different policy context of reception.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

LA Times' HeroComplex Blog Interviews Jason Isaacs and Prop Master Barry WilkinsonDH Film
November 01, 2010, 12:44 PM
The newest installments in the LA Times HeroComplex Blog's countdown to "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" include an interview with Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) and the films' Prop Master, Barry Wilkinson.
Wilkinson -- who worked as prop master for all eight "Harry Potter" films and in 2008 received the BAFTA for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema -- states that over 500 wands were manufactured for the two-part finale alone, with everyone possessing their own individual "continuity wand, even down to the Death Eaters" and a number of duplicates:
[B]ack-up wands for main characters, rubber wands for stunt work, "fast-cast" wands for background shots and more generic wands for crowd scenes. Factor in the previous films and Ollivander's Wand Shop, which was fully stocked, and the wand count easily reaches the thousands.Wilkinson describes the task of packing everything away at the end of the 10 years on the films as "huge," explaining, "At the moment, we've got 104 containers full of props and set dressings, which have now got to be lifted and archived and accounted for." You can read more from this interview here on the HeroComplex Blog.
In the second interview with the actor behind Lucius Malfoy, Jason Isaacs is asked about the parts of the Harry Potter films to which he "can't bear to say goodbye." The actor responds:
Most sets are places with a throbbing undertone of fear that everyone's taken the wrong job in the wrong thing. That no one's going to watch the film, no one's going to like the story, no one's going to work again. Actors generally can float above that stuff, but there's something very different going on with "Harry Potter." You know you're making a story that you love taking part in and that you know people will obsess over. It's the difference between throwing a party and wondering if anyone's going to come and having the party people are having to wait to get into.As he has in previous interviews, Isaacs additionally cites being a member of the cast alongside actors such as "Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman and Bill Nighy and Jim Broadbent and Imelda Staunton and on and on" as part of the privilege of working on the series.
Isaacs also commented on the progression of Lucius' character through the book series in contrast with his expectations for the character's fate:
I was hoping [Lucius would] get his comeuppance at some stage. But I didn't imagine I'd be so publicly deflated and humiliated. Lucius thought he'd stand by Voldemort's side and fall with him. Instead I've been completely emasculated by him and rejected by everybody, and as an actor it's a tremendously juicy thing to do, not play the same part time after time.You can read the full interview, which includes talk of the wig and Isaacs' self-described "slightly sniffy" initial attitude about the Harry Potter series here on the HeroComplex blog.

Before throwing in the towel and skipping the idea entirely, check out these fun projects designed to help kids express what they're thankful for this year — their answers may surprise you! Give Thanks Thanksgiving Countdown Calendar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Similar in concept to an Advent calendar, this Thanksgiving countdown calendar ($9) is a great way to get kids excited about the holiday. Keep a stack of index cards nearby and have them put one in each remaining spot to express what they are thankful for this year. 1 / 8 Gratitude Garland What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Move the calendar to the mantel and create a Gratitude Garland. Dandee's take on the concept is easy to replicate and looks great too — simply gather up some empty envelopes, and give the kids preprinted cards that prompt them to express their gratitude for something.

Paper and Cake's Thanksgiving photo props ($10) help set the scene, and a handmade cartoon bubble can be added to help tots express what they're thankful for this year. 3 / 8 Thanksgiving Printable What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Create some fun Thanksgiving place mats with this free holiday printable.

Guests will love seeing what the kids think about the holiday! Source: Be Different Act Normal 4 / 8 Thankful Bucket What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If a full-blown garland and Advent calendar seem a bit ambitious, try a thankful bucket from The Idea Room. Same concept as the others, but a bit easier to make for the noncrafty among us. Source: The Idea Room 6 / 8 Gratitude Paper Chain What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kids love the concept of using paper chains to count down to a big day. So why not count up to Thanksgiving with one that features what your kids are thankful for this year? Ucreate's gratitude chain is a fun (and easy!) way to express gratitude.

Boston, MA - Color Kinetics Incorporated, a pioneer in intelligent LED-based illumination technologies, today reaffirmed its position in patent litigation against Super Vision International, Inc. (NasdaqSC: SUPVA), and dismissed the merit of a patent infringement law suit recently filed by Super Vision in Federal District Court in Orlando, Florida. Super Vision's allegation of infringement is based on an incandescent lighting patent, unrelated to LED-based lighting systems, acquired from High End Systems. The suit does not interfere with Color Kinetics' product offerings or intellectual property.
"Color Kinetics is already asserting its patents against Super Vision's infringing LED products, and we're very confident in our position in that litigation," said George Mueller, Chairman and CEO, Color Kinetics. "We view Super Vision's acquisition of the High End Systems patent as a misguided attempt to gain leverage in the existing suit. The patent relates only to traditional incandescent lighting systems, not to LED-based systems, and we're confident that its assertion against Color Kinetics is completely without merit."
In existing patent litigation initiated in June of 2002 and currently pending in the Federal District Court in Boston, Massachusetts, Color Kinetics has claimed that many multicolor LED-based lighting products sold by Super Vision infringe numerous Color Kinetics patents.

Theatre Rhino remounts its hit spring production of the acclaimed 2009 comedy The Habit of Art. Written by Britain's Alan Bennett, whose works include the award-winning Broadway hit The History Boys, this poignant yet raunchily funny play tells the story of the shattered friendship between poet W. H. Auden and composer Benjamin Britten. Examining the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and the ethics of biography itself, it reflects on growing old, on talent and inspiration, and on persisting when all passion's spent. Met with wild acclaim upon its London debut in 2009, The Habit of Art is a complex and fascinating play about the intersection of creativity and desire. Learn More

If you're a B2B marketer, the holidays might seem like the time to ease off the accelerator.
Don't make that mistake. As well as killing your marketing momentum, you risk losing a unique set of opportunities for end-of-year marketing success.
The end of the year often means it's 'use it or lose it' when it comes to unspent portions of businesses' budgets. With leftover loot, clients and prospects might want to purchase a luxury or upgraded service from you. Sitting idle means missing out on some huge potential sales.
Here are six reasons why B2B holiday marketing really pays off:
1. Decision-makers have more free time
A common misconception is that B2B holiday marketing isn't worth it because "everyone is on vacation" – but someone has to steer the ship. Many decision-makers actually spend more time in the office around the holidays because they have fewer meetings and business trips. Connect with them when they have the most time to listen.
2. There's less noise
During the holidays, the volume of B2B marketing emails drops, giving sent emails a better chance of being opened. Getting noticed at the end of the year could bring in a flurry of last-minute sales as businesses try to use the leftovers in their budget.
3. It's a vital time for customer retention
Whether your customers will have larger or smaller budgets in 2013, you need to be talking to them. An expanded budget means that they have the opportunity to buy more of your products and services. A trimmed budget means you need to remind them why you're essential to their success. Whichever it is, this is the time of year to remind customers what you do (and can do) for them.
4. You can beat the competition
If your competition has decided not to do holiday marketing, it's your chance to pounce on the opportunity to get an unfiltered view in front of customers and prospects. On the other hand, if your competitor doesn't stop and you do, you'll start 2013 a step or more behind.
5. Holiday marketing affects your Q1 results
A Marketing Sherpa study from 2009 analyzed the time it took B2B businesses to go from lead generation to
conversion. More than two-thirds of the time, it took businesses three months or longer to convert a lead. That means failing to market during the holidays can affect sales at the end of Q1 or later. Start the year off right with holiday marketing.
Tip: Conversion rates from B2B holiday marketing campaigns aren't the only measure of success – especially if your campaign is light-hearted. Many of the best holiday campaigns efforts are designed to establish relationships rather than to generate instant sales. As well as sales, you should track metrics like social shares and time spent engaging with your campaigns and content.
6. It's a great time to recap, and lay out your 2013 offering
If New Year's resolutions tell us anything, it's that the end of the year provides a great chance for reflecting on accomplishments and planning for improvement. Remind customers about milestones, product changes, and overall successes from the past year. Don't forget to include your plans for making your services and products even better next year. The reminder and look ahead will sit well with customers and may inspire prospects.

- Request Information
- College Profile
- Scholars Programs
- Student Perspectives
- Alumni Success
- For Counselors
- Contact Admissions
People have told me for years that if there is one thing everyone should do while in college, it is studying abroad. I wanted to gain a new perspective on both parts of the world unknown to me, and parts that I already call home. I wanted to learn about something firsthand. I think it is a great opportunity to do so, when you're young and not yet set in your beliefs.
How did you choose where to go?
I knew that I wanted to go somewhere with a culture and environment completely different than Maine. I've always been interested in Africa, and the SIT Tanzania-Zanzibar programme attracted me because of its mix of cultural experience, fieldwork and research. Coastal communities make up a large percent of the world's population and they are often the first affected by things such as climate change, and I also wanted to go to a developing country because I've never lived in one before.
Can you briefly describe your program while abroad?
What was your greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was hearing people talk about their views on electricity while doing my independent research. The political system in Zanzibar is so incredibly different from the States, and many people shared incredible views and ideas on the government's role in providing electricity, but assumed that they could never get through to the government. It was hard to accept a different political system when I felt that the people wanted something else.
How have you and/or your perspective changed after returning from studying abroad?
What advice would you give to prospective study abroad students?

by pupitetris (#41512799) Attached to: Ask Slashdot: Hacking Urban Noise?
If you live in an appartment and you are above the 1st floor and your city regulations allow it, you could try hanging sound reflectors around your windows, so that sound coming from below may bounce back to the street. Lateral view: Window --> |/ -- Reflector. Play with the position angle to get the best compromise between view of the outside and level of attenuation. Different materials and thicknesses will work best for different frequencies, being bass the most difficult to reduce.

We arrived in Boston two days ahead. Stayed just outside Boston but it was an easy drive into Boston and to the pier. First day in Boston we did the Old Town Trolley Tour which I highly recommend. The tickets are good for two days so the morning of the cruise we went on the trolley again to the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum which had just opened the week before. (Our cruise was July 7th.) The museum is very worthwhile to see. I'm sure between both tours we now know more about Boston than people who live there. Only difficulty we had in Boston was trying to find a parking garage that was near one of the trolley stops. A lot of internet research ahead of time was a help. We also bought our tickets online which worked out well.
We were told not to be at the pier before 1:30. We were there around 1 p.m. and found embarkation to be really smooth and our cabins were ready. We had settled on the interior walkway cabins which are a little more money than the other interior but it was well worth it to have a window. There is a small deck outside these cabins but I am not very tall and it was difficult for me to see over the solid railing. Still, having light in the cabin is a bonus and the price was great!
We had reservations for the Steakhouse the first night because I had read on Cruisecritic that you get a free bottle of wine. Friends were in the cabin next to us and we both had reservations so we had a table for 4. That's when we found out that the free bottle of wine is per table, not per cabin. Empty table for two right next to us...we were tempted to say we wanted to move to it until we got our bottle of wine and then move back together. After talking to a few servers about how unclear it was (bottle per table? bottle per cabin?) we were finally given another bottle by the manager. I was thinking though that on our last cruise we were a party of 10...one bottle of wine per table? Not fair. Fortunately we didn't go to the steakhouse first night last time.
I've read the other remarks about the steakhouse and everyone praises the food and rightly so. It was very good. I cannot give it excellent because when I ordered the Lobster Bisque I was very specific in telling the server that I want my soup to be HOT, not warm, not semi-hot, HOT. When the time came (no one else had soup)I was served last, the soup was poured into a cold bowl, and because I wasn't served right away it was warm, but not hot. I had them take it away and bring me hot soup which they did. But the server offered no apology or even acknowledged that I had been specific about it being hot. All the other food was excellent except for the wasabi mashed potatoes which had no taste of wasabi. The chef came to our table when we were eating our entree and my husband mentioned that, although good, we couldn't taste the wasabi. He said they were no longer putting in as much wasabi as they used to because Americans (he did specify it was Americans, not others) were complaining there was too much. He came back out a few minutes later with another dish with more wasabi...excellent! I guess I should have mentioned that my husband and I have worked in food service/hospitality for many years and worked both front & back of house so maybe we are too picky. But although the food was good the service was not. A fine dining place does not consistently serve the gentlemen first and that happened to us with every course. As well, sometimes one person had their food 3-4 minutes before the rest of us. Should not happen. Next time you are in the steakhouse take note of things like that. The service has to match the food!
Sorry for the long comment on the Steakhouse. When I got home I emailed the Steakhouse with similar comments. No reply of course.
We found the fish and chips (and other seafood) upstairs in the Red Sail and it was a much quieter spot to enjoy lunch and the food was great. We also enjoyed the sushi bar. We had late dinner seating and the sushi around 5 p.m. hit the spot.
We ate in the dining room each night after the first night. Maybe it was because we weren't there the first night but it seemed strange that our waiter and his assistant never even introduced themselves. We had booked a wine package through Bon Voyage and there was no problem with it but our friends had done the same and their package was nowhere to be found even though they had a confirmation number. The rep from Bon Voyage came to the table and told us it was not her problem! We couldn't believe she would say that. Who does she work for? Carnival. Then as their rep it IS her problem! It was never sorted out and our friends ended up ordering another package and working with VISA and Carnival after the cruise to get their money refunded. Food: We found it great. The prime rib, which was offered twice, was marvellous, very tender. Horseradish-lots of flavour. Loved it. It was the first cruise for our friends and when he found out he could order the lobster and the prime rib he was in heaven!
The shows in the Amber Palace were good with the illusionist being great. The cruise director, Josh, was a pain. He came off as being completely filled with how great he was and took so long introducing things that you could go to sleep. We went to the session about the ship and the ports and came out learning virtually nothing we hadn't known before. It was all about Josh and how we could watch him on TV (if we hadn't had enough of him in person).
I loved the fact that there were not many ship-wide announcements. We've been on cruises where they are constantly interupting with announcements in every language you can imagine. This was great!
Saint John (It is NOT St. John!) we went on the trolley tour. The best part was seeing the Reversing Falls and having a lobster roll in the market. For $11 we got the jumbo lobster roll with fries, slaw and drink. Can't beat that! We also toured the vendors who had set up by the pier.
Halifax: one of our friends had a cousin who lived there and they met us and took us to Peggy's Cove. We had been there before but it was worthwhile seeing again. I had researched warm lobster rolls on the internet and really wanted to try one at Evans Fresh Seafood which is situated at the Dartmouth ferry terminal. The Halifax side of the ferry is close to where the ship docked so we could have gotten there ourselves but they drove us to it. Of all the luck, they were out of warm lobster rolls that day...maybe it was the roll they were out of because they did have lobster poutine which my husband ordered and really enjoyed. I had the fresh clams with salad and that was excellent too. Everyone else really enjoyed the fish and chips. Evan's is like a take out counter. Just a small place in the terminal but very busy.
Bingo..well I am a fanatic. I play bingo several nights a week at home. So I tried my luck at every session with no luck. I decided I would not do that again. $25 for one game is way too much money when all they are giving away is a few hundred dollars as the prize. They are making a killing on all of us chumps! The last games were better. One game was for a full card for $750 or a cruise. Not bad. Another game was for $3000 if you had a full card in 40 numbers and called bingo on this special number that had been drawn out ahead of time. As a regular bingo player I knew that your chances of that are millions, maybe billions, to one, so I am quite sure they have never had to give that money away. The consolation price was $2000 if you either bingoed on the number or had a full card in 40 numbers. Chances of that are pretty well nil as well. Next was $1000 for the first full card and that is probably what they pay out every time. Those were the only two games where the prizes were worthwhile.
I have done most of my cruising on Royal Caribbean and many of the negative comments I have made applied to that cruiseline as well so I'm not picking on Carnival. I particularly liked Carnival's policy of letting you take some water and pop onboard as well as one bottle of wine or champagne. Royal Car. won't let you do that.
Embarkation was very smooth although getting up for non-U.S. citizens immigration check for 6:45!! I couldn't see where Americans had any immigration check at all which is the first time I've noticed that. Most Canadians had nothing to declare because anything we bought, we bought in Canada.

La Jollans Sherry Ahern and Kathryn Stephens were among those honored for their leadership and community service March 8, during the 48th annual Salvation Army Women of Dedication Luncheon at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina on Harbor Island.
Ahern is founder of the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival benefiting La Jolla elementary and middle schools, and was also instrumental in founding the Pediatric Diabetes Research Center at UC San Diego. She is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Channel 10 News Leadership Award and City of Hope's Mother of the Year award.

An artist herself, she is known for her colorful mosaic murals at Bird Rock Elementary School (where she taught for several years).
A former top model, Stephens has chaired many fundraising events, including the Las Patronas Jewel Ball, and those benefiting the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, La Jolla High School and the National Charity League.
Ahern and Stephens, along with 12 other honorees, had their praises sung to them — literally — in the form of popular tunes delivered by the San Diego Master Chorale. The lyrics were changed to extol each woman's achievements and attributes.
Women also receiving awards with La Jolla ties included: Catherine A. Blair (for her work with The Bishop's School, where she has served as director of college counseling and dean of academic resources), and Reinette Levine (for her work with La Jolla Playhouse and UCSD Cardiovascular Center).
The lunch was a fundraiser for the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary of San Diego County.

Escrick villagers highlight bus stop dangers
9:02am Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News
RESIDENTS of a village between York and Selby have urged action on moving a bus stop from a busy main road.
The 415 service used to run through Escrick until a change in funding by North Yorkshire County Council saw subsidies removed from the route.
The stop was then moved to the A19, close to The Parsonage hotel, but resident Huw Edwards said the change caused danger to locals.
Mr Edwards said: "Now pensioners and schoolchildren have to run the gauntlet of the A19 to catch a bus into York with no crossing, exposing the most vulnerable in our society to death by car.
"Despite the parish council asking for a more sensible approach, Arriva have done nothing to remedy the situation, even though there are ample alternative sites in the village which would create a safe environment for our vulnerable residents."
Vicky Cumberland, clerk of Escrick Parish Council, said: "It's very dangerous where the bus stop outside the church is.
"We want the bus to come back through the village, as it did for years and years.
"We have a perfectly good bus shelter in the village and the road is marked out so cars don't park there, but Arriva aren't coming in."
Last year, teenager Rosie Jean Missett was killed while crossing the A19 at Deighton, close to Escrick, after getting off a bus, and Mr Edwards said changes should be made to avoid further similar accidents.
Mr Edwards said: "Believe me, you need to be pretty sharp to get across the road in one piece.
"My children don't attend Fulford yet, but when they do, I will live in fear of them being knocked over on the A19 if the current system persists."
Nigel Featham, managing director for Arriva Yorkshire, said the decision to stop using the shelter in Main Street, Escrick, was made in 2011 after funding changes from the county council.
He said: "There were very few passengers boarding at this stop and we needed to make sure our services were running as efficiently as possible in order to provide a sustainable bus service.
"The more direct route to York and Selby has proved popular with customers, we will of course continue to monitor the situation, however we have no plans to change the route at present."

They wanted the 416 to be a quicker run of the 415 afterall so why not kill 2 birds with one stone!

If the parish council are that bothered, maybe they can try to raise the money for a pelican crossing, which would also benefit residents walking to the surgery and church ... maybe they should ask the handful of people who did use to use the Main Street stop to pay for it, seeing as everyone else was quite happy to cross the A19 even when they didn't have to.

An old abbreviation which is often confused with "lol", however with a different meaning. Its true meaning is Laugh And Wank Loudly, an American term used when something is so funny it arouses the laugher to such a point they cannot withstand the urges.
Hank, being a multitasking fellow, was watching the comedy festival while playing a game with his friends. Suddenly something hilarious happened on the festival and he informed his friends of his hands new occupation by saying lawl.
de Mr Potato Loving Man 24 mars 2011
The primary code of conduct amongst trolls. For example, it is against the lawl to troll another, esp. well-respected troll, or to pass off another troll's jokes or tactics as your own.
As said by an elder troll, "Your disregard of the lawl has left me no choice but to strip you of the rank of "troll". You are doomed to spend the rest of your internets life as a Trollkin."

Great way to get experience working with archival materials.
Experience Nubia's curator insight, August 21, 11:45 PM
Berenike was founded in the 3rd century BC by Pharaoh Ptolemy II (285-246 years BC). Initially, the port was used for shipments of African elephants. The ruler had decided to use these animals in battles against Egypt's enemies, as access to the Indian elephant was cut off, so an independent source from Eastern Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia was needed. The city was also a refuge and place of temporary residence for seafarers, traders and the general public from the remotest corners of the world.

A yellow color beer of the darker variety. The head is virgin white, a nice touch. Its about 1" deep. Good retention, average lacing. Mild skunkiness in the aroma, zesty hop presence, this is what I'm looking for in a czech pilsner, skunkiness is not always a flaw, and I think it works well here.
Taste has a light body with ample bitterness. Carbonation is high, as should be for style. Plenty grassy in the taste and mouthfeel throughout the entire drinking experience. This used to be a lesser version of Pilsner Urquell for me, but it seems in recent history, they have pulled about even. Used to see this at Trader Joe's, it seems to have gotten more difficult to locate in the states in recent years. Finishes a little dry, metallic bittery, floral.
The mustiness within the beer is kind of cool.
Light but flavorful be thy name. Isn't going to change the way you think about pilsners, but it is a good experience in the warmer months.

One of the Wednesday Night Trivia crew was recently over in the Czech Republic for work and brought back some CANs for me. Once again, it pays to advertise and my thanks to Rod Shenk for the gift(s).
From the CAN: "Best beer in the whole of Moravia"; "Tenor is the secret of good souls"; "Crisp, mildly bitter taste".
The Crack revealed another brimful CAN and I went with an inverted Glug which netted a finger of fizzy bone-white head with limited retention. Color was a deep golden-yellow with NE-quality clarity and now Midas and Croesus were openly weeping in envy. Nose was redolent with snappy, grassy Saaz hops and I was in heaven. Nothing wrong with German Pils, per se, but give me a Czech Pils and I am sent. The intense carbonation rendered it very fizzy and cleansing on the tongue. I felt the old, tired taste buds being stripped away in its wake. The taste was quite clean, very grassy and refreshing. The finish was bone dry, just the way I prefer my Czech Pilsners. Man, this was probably going to be the winner of the lot! I could drink this pretty regularly.

Starobrno Premium, ABV: 5.0%.
330 ml bottle, 12.90 SEK at Systembolaget.
A: The beer pours bright amber, with a white head that leaves a nice ring.
B: Malty aroma with hints of citrus, butterscotch and grassy hops.
T: Nice malty flavours with notes of bread, butter, citrus, hay and floral hops. Large bitterness. Simple, but delicious. Yum-yum-yum.
M: Medium body. Average carbonation. Huge drinkability.
O: Starobrno has become a standard beer for me - it's bitter and tasty enough, but still very easy to drink several servings of - and it's even better on tap. To me it's best served amongst friends or with European sausage- or pork-based dishes.

A clear, light amber with an average thumb sized head that has good retention & lasts well.
Pretty standard for a pilsener/pale lager with a sweet malt smeel along with some grain and hops. Nothing out of the ordinary but nothing negative either.
Again pretty common taste with a slight corn, some grassy hops & some malts in there too. Finishes with a mild bitter aftertaste & goes down well.
Pretty smooth and easy to drink like most pale lagers. Nice, clean & crisp as well as being quite refreshing. Surprisingly I found this to be quite full bodied for a pilsener & it would be a decent session beer too.
Nice overall and very refreshing & drinkable although not the nicest in the world. Still a solid pilsener though that would work well as a session beer.

3.95/5 rDev +11%
A: Dark golden brown with a thick 1.5 inch head. A tad orangy.
S. Fresh malt smell, on the light side and slightly sweet.
T: Full bodied for a Pilsner, full flavored, slightly bitter after taste. Honey, malt, herbs. Maybe just slightly too bitter.
M: Smooth then sparkly.
D: Overall excellent, but perhaps not for massive drinking like most pilsners.

One of America's most powerful and thought-provoking novelists, New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult brilliantly examines belief, miracles, and the complex core of family.
When the marriage of Mariah White and her cheating husband, Colin, turns ugly and disintegrates, their seven-year-old daughter, Faith, is there to witness it all. In the aftermath of a rapid divorce, Mariah falls into a deep depression -- and suddenly Faith, a child with no religious background whatsoever, hears divine voices, starts reciting biblical passages, and develops stigmata. And when the miraculous healings begin, mother and daughter are thrust into the volatile center of controversy and into the heat of a custody battle -- trapped in a mad media circus that threatens what little stability the family has left.
About the Author
Jodi Picoult is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of seventeen novels, including The Pact, The Tenth Circle, Nineteen Minutes, Change of Heart, Handle with Care, and House Rules. She received the 2003 New England Book Award for fiction and was the recipient of the ALA's Alex Award for her novel My Sister's Keeper. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and three children.

A student's experience of a consultation with a librarian
Elizabeth Dreher, Senior in BMES, Concentration in Biomaterials and
Tissue Engineering, reflects on her experiences as she learned that there many more resources available from our Library's web site to help her find information for her engineering design project.
In her own words:
"RE: BMES Senior Design Project
Prior to consulting with Jay Bhatt, I mainly used Science Direct to find peer reviewed papers. To a lesser extent, I also used PubMed and Google coupled with Drexel library's SFX to access the papers that were not free through the PubMed or Google searches. To find more general information for assignments, I have used MD Consult and restricted my search results to text books. In the event that I couldn't find a paper or general information, I have used 'DrexelLibraryRef' on AIM.
After my consultation with Jay Bhatt, I found many additional resources helpful to my senior design project. For my group's Senior Design Proposal, I was interested in finding statistical information regarding hospitalization times and costs associated with intervertebral disc injuries. I had a hard time finding statistics on this subject until Jay introduced me to LexisNexis Statistical, which provided many relevant tables of costs for hospitalization injuries. I was also looking for detailed information on how part of our design would impact the environment and people involved in manufacturing. Our group is working with a vinyl monomer for which detailed environmental information wasn't available on ScienceDirect or the other resources I knew. Jay Bhatt recommended I use the resources on the Senior Design blog for Chemical Engineering. From these resources, I was able to find toxicity and other relevant information from Ullmann's and Knovel, which led me to Sittig's Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens. In summary, I found everything I was looking for in less than an hour with the Jay's help, and now I am more equipped to handle finding a variety of data for my BMES Senior Design project and other assignments."

One Wisconsin dairyman (a former lieutenant colonel in the Israeli military) who had acquired a herd of dairy buffalo told a newspaper that milking them was more difficult than leading troops into war.
Camel's milk, which is sometimes the only source of water in the arid climates of the Middle East and parts of Africa, isn't much easier to obtain. Gil Riegler, who runs the Oasis Camel Dairy in Ramona, Calif., says a typical camel produces around two gallons of milk a day in two 90-second long bursts and only while a calf is in the act of nursing (from a different teat). And once you've got the milk, you can't do much with it other than drink it. The low-solid content of camel's milk means it cannot be processed into butter or cheese without high-tech intervention.
Nonetheless, Riegler (who has yet to secure to necessary Agriculture Department permits to sell his milk) is a great believer in the product: "Where camel milk is available," he asserts, "people will prefer to drink it." He says camel's milk contains insulin and can improve quality of life for diabetics (seems legit) and cites stories about it treating autism (does not). To aid in water retention, camels consume about eight times as much sodium as cows, so their milk can be weirdly salty, but it can also be sweet. On Bizarre Foods America, Andrew Zimmern sipped some of Riegler's milk and pronounced it "fantastic." But the fact that camel's milk was on a show called Bizarre Foods makes a prima facie case that the American palate may not be quite ready for it.
And pig's milk, alas, is also not quite ready for the American palate. With a little effort, I tracked down the chef I heard about at Whole Foods, the one who's trying to make pig's cheese. It's Edward Lee of Louisville's 610 Magnolia and Top Chef. "Anyone who farms pigs would say that pigs' milk would make an incredible cheese," he says. "The problem is that it's nearly impossible to milk pigs. When sows are lactating, they get very aggressive. They're not docile like cows. They're smart, skittish, suspicious and paranoid. They do not like you to get up in their business."

Endicott Summer Concert Series Over
9/1/2013 (Updated 10:58:52 PM)Sunday marked the last of Endicott's Little Italy weekly summer concert series. The Morgan String Band closed the series.
The band played in front of over 50 people who brought lawn chairs and beach towels to enjoy the blue-grass and folk music on the hill of George W. Johnson Park.
The band played many original hits as well as old time folk classics. Co Chair Palma Longo says the Little Italy concert series is meant to draw crowds to the small town.
"I think its brought people from all over the North Side," she said. "One of the objects of Little Italy, was to make people be comfortable here. To come to our parks and to see what we have to offer."
It was the first time the Morgan String Band performed together in six years. The band will also host a concert at En-Joie later this month for Zooneyfest.
