I had researched long and hard for a couple of years, since our last ocean cruise in 2008 (Cherry Blossom Cruise) about European river cruises. Considering lines, ships, itineraries, inclusions and extensions that we wanted to make. Taking into account all of the above decided on booking Scenic Tours Amsterdam to Bucharest, Black Sea and Turkey. 38 days in total, 21 days on board the Scenic Crystal. We booked through my travel agent and then Scenic tours, both our airline tickets with Singapore Airlines ( entitled to only pay taxes with early bird offer and free stop over in Singapore on our return) and our accommodation at Amsterdam at the Doubletree.
My husband and I are in our late 40's, and traveled with my parents (mid 70's). We booked the Royal Panoramic Suite on the Danube deck (had paid a $500 fee to be informed when bookings opened to secure this cabin as there are only 2 of them, 20 months in advance of cruise date). Because this was our first time in Europe, I was happy to have transfers, etc all taken care of by Scenic. We arrived 7.20am on Saturday and had a private car meet us and transfer us to the Doubletree with a little orientation tour on the way into town from the airport. Arrived at Doubletree and we were able to check into our room before 8am, at no extra charge (we did not book it for the night before, as is sometimes suggested), so was very happy with the efficient check in service and the staff were all very courteous during our stay. We had upgraded at the Doubletree, to a King City suite, so had a room on the highest floor looking out over the city and Centraal station. The room was very clean, plenty of room and stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. The hotel is ideally suited to exploring the city as all the trams run from Centraal Station, and the canal bus has a stop at the station, although it is only a 5-10 minute walk to Dam Square on the flat. The hotel also has bike available for hire (16 euros daily). Would stay here again.
On the day of checkout from the hotel, Scenic had an information desk, luggage store and refreshments available on the first floor of the hotel. The Scenic Crystal docked the day before and there were passengers arriving from the ship waiting for transfers to airport etc, as they finished their cruises, so it was all happening. My husband and I had more exploring of Amsterdam planned, so left our luggage here to be transferred to the ship. We could have been back at 3pm for a bus transfer to the Crystal, or make our own way to the ship. After a full day in Amsterdam we arrived at the ship at about 6.30pm. We were welcomed on board by staff, checked in with our passports and given a welcome rose and escorted to our cabin. As the evening meal was being served in the restaurant, we dumped our coats & shopping and headed to the dining room and met up with our other family members.
All the ship's staff was very welcoming and friendly, and there was lots of chatter amongst the passengers of where we had been, where we come from, etc. The ship was clean, with plenty of room for everyone and lots of areas for people to gather in small groups. The staff were helpful in guiding us with directions, until we all got familiar with the ship and routines.
All the staff wore their name tags with their nationality, and there were a lot of introductions all round. Nothing was too much trouble, and it wasn't long before staff were anticipating what you wanted. There is always someone at the reception desk 24 hours (except when doing security rounds overnight for about 10 minutes at a time).
Our cabin was at the rear of the ship, the panoramic suite, and we had no problems with noise, vibrations and/or fumes. In fact on some occasions we were docked when we went to sleep and woke to find that we were either in a different port or underway, and we hadn't heard a thing. The toiletries were fine and plentiful, as was the supply of towels and the linen changes. The linen and towels were of high quality and very luxurious.
The panoramic lounge has many different seats available from couches to lounge chairs, bar stools & seats at tables. There is a library at the rear of the lounge that has many books about ports of call, it also has the coffee& tea making facilities. We always picked up a pot of tea or a hot chocolate here to take to our cabin when going to bed. The bar is toward the front of the lounge and there is a piano, where Josef our musician played during our cruise. THe river cafe is in the lounge and provided early risers breakfast, and light snacks/treats options during the day. Portabellos is an intimate Italian dining experience that is to the fore of the bar area on this level, and it a very pleasant dining experience.
The Crystal dining room is a level down and has plenty of tables of all varying configurations, although pretty close together. Some meals here are table service meals and others are a buffet. There is always some meals you can order from your waiter and they are very happy to accommodate all requests. Drinks are served freely in the dining room and always plenty of cold water available. The food was exceptional, although if you like your meat well done, make sure you tell your waiter this, as they tend to serve their meat on the rarer side of the ledger. The food was always hot and if you want more bread rolls, again just ask.
We dined at the La Rive table and this was a fun night of food and wine, the waiters, Adam & Stan, were so knowledgeable about the wines and the chef came out at the end of the meal as well.
Because we were in a royal suite we dined on the Captain's table on the farewell night. The Captain was a very funny guy from Bulgaria and was more than happy to talk anywhere, anytime. When you are up on deck, you are always welcomed to go into the wheelhouse and ask questions, and even steer the ship. I had a small turn going through the Iron Gates, but got so nervous I was going to stuff up, handed the controls back.
The gym was limited, with a treadmill, bike, cross trainer, and is used mostly by the Captain!! There are towels, water and apples in the gym. The electric bikes are available for use whenever in port and they are great. So easy to use, just make sure you turn the assist off when negotiating tight corners!!
The wellness centre has and area for hair dressing and then an inner room for beauty and massage. Both the stylist and therapist here were excellent. I recommend a massage, and their rates are very reasonable compared to some ships. The platinum facial was pure heaven and included everything except a back massage!
There was a shop on board that had branded clothing of Scenic, and some jewelry & watches for purchase.
Room service was available in our suite and we had breakfast in the room a few times when we had to be up to buses early. The food was hot and huge serves, and always at the time requested. You could also order and early morning tea/coffee and this too was a little indulgent.
Service was always with a smile and a little chat, with small touches like having bottled water at reception as you leave for excursions and having warm face washers and refreshing drinks to welcome you back on board. After one very wet excursion we were met with umbrellas to protect us up the gangway and warm face washers & towels after a very wet bike ride.
The port excursions were well organised and there was a talk the day previous to explain everyone's options, and lay out the schedules for buses etc. Our cruise director, Marin, was always available and easy going, and made every attempt to meet your requests.
Along the cruise there were entertainers that came on board, usually traditional dancers & musicians of the relevant country. Otherwise the ship's musician, Josef, provided the musical entertainment.
On the day of disembarkation, we were given tags for our luggage and had to have them out the front of our cabins by 8am. It is all hands on deck, as everyone assists with the unloading of luggage.
Some of the excursions we went on:
Zaanse Schans
It was wet, so a little restricted, but thoroughly enjoyed the windmills and the reserve in general. Tip: stop at the shops along the way, have much more variety than those at the main entrance. Photo revenue goes to continue the preservation of the buildings in the reserve.
Guide was very poor. We ended up leaving him and joining another of our groups once we found out where to board our boat. Went back to the cathedral in our free time and climbed the 509 stairs to the top, the only ones on board to do so. Such a lovely city. Walked along the Hohenzollernbrucke rail bridge that is covered in masses of padlocks of couples declaring their love for each other and then casting the keys to their locks into the river Rhine. Loved it.
We headed from Passau to Cesky Krumlov for the day. Others went to Salzburg, and some others went to the salt mines. My mother stayed in Passau and went on a walking tour of the city (it was flooded 4 days later). Cesky Krumlov took about 1 1/2 hours via bus, travelling through Czech countryside, to a very impressive town with a very impressive castle. We spent the day exploring and had lunch, returning via bus to Linz, where we re-boarded the Crystal. Had tea and then some exploring of the city centre of Linz before setting off at about 11.30pm.
What a thoroughly delightful city. We arrived on the Scenic Crystal at about 10.30pm and cruised up and down the river so we could all take photos of all these incredible sights lit up at night. It really was very magical. We docked opposite parliament house. This city has many places to visit. We went on a city tour with the Cave Hospital, that was very interesting, and saw many beautiful buildings and had more opportunities outside as it wasn't raining!! We could see the water levels rising whilst docked here. This was where all but 30 of us left the cruise and headed off in many directions, and a bunch of newbies arrived for the next 7 days into Eastern Europe.
We walked to the Fisherman's Bastion, parliament, Shoes by the Danube, St Stephan's Bascilica, the Hungarian markets, the Gellert Baths, the Church in the Cave, and many other places along the river. The lighting engineer of Budapest has the most important job, as this city is so wonderfully lit at night. Need more time here.
Bucharest was the beginning of our land component of our Black Sea - Turkey extension. It was a relative unknown city, compared to the other cities we had visited. Communist architecture evident everywhere, but many gems to be found. The people's parliament is almost hideous in it's over sized grandeur, very similar to the Nazi architectural style of intimidation by size. There is some humour in Bucharest. A base of an old monument to Lenin (knocked down during the overthrow of the communist government) now has students place another monument there from time to time. It was a worm whilst we were there. We stayed at the JW Marriott, that was very nice and comfortable, although a little way out of town (a good 20-30 minute walk). Here is where the service industry is trying hard, but tourists, especially Western tourists are all very new to them. Not many smiles, no eye contact, although not that they weren't doing their job, it's just that they were often having loud discussions/disagreements with other staff in front of guests, and that sort of thing. I'm sure after a few more years they will have it all down pat.
I recommend that you research what you want to see before you get here, as there is so much to see. We took an excursion to see the Snagov Lake and Monastery, which is about 90 minutes from Bucharest. It was lovely and similar to the Bulgarian style of church, with al frescoes painted all over the interior. There is only one toilet on the monastery island. It was a lovely preserved part of Romanian life.
The shopping in Bucharest is good, with prices being the cheapest in Europe I had seen so far, with the quality not being compromised. I did enjoy our visit.
The Dolmabahce palace was beautiful, although Scenic used their own guides for the tour it was difficult to hear what they were saying with a larger group of 63 people. (the headsets are only used whilst on the spaceships). You are not allowed to take photos, the architecture inside is very impressive and beautiful. The site is perfect right beside the Bosphorous, and the gardens are equally magnificent.
The mosque, underground cistern, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi palace were all very impressive. The Bosphorous cruise was a standout, as Scenic book the whole ship out so there is plenty of room to roam around and see everything in the 1 and a half hours spent on the water.
The guides did a great job as we were there at the same time that Taksim Square was the centre of some riots, and they managed to show us everything around these disputes, and keep us out of harm's way.
Underground Cistern
Such an incredible feat of engineering from so long ago. Fascinating.
Blue Mosque
Enjoyed the knowledge of the guides and the beauty and scale of the mosque.
Grand Bazaar
This was a little dull, found the sales people a little rude, for the first time on my trip. Not many people around, maybe due to the Taksim Square riots.
Hagia Sofia
So much history. Love Ataturks' vision in making this a museum. Again knowledgeable guides.
Bosphorous Cruise
The Bosphorous cruise was a standout, as Scenic booked the whole ship out so there is plenty of room to roam around and see everything in the 1 and a half hours spent on the water, with all areas of interest pointed out to you by the guides.
Needed a little more time here, but that was not to be helped as our hotel was within the area locked down at 4pm around Taksim Square so we had to be back within a time frame that was not the usual.
Spice Market
Loved the presentation and the smells, although they sell a bit more than spices here.
In conclusion, we had a great trip, in some difficult circumstances, although the staff never let on to the guests the extra work this caused them all. The ship was perfect, such a lovely indulgence. I did enjoy the direction we went (Amsterdam to Bucharest) but would have loved to have had the land content first and then lived it up in the boat not needing to go back to living out of a suitcase. But this is nit picking. The staff are the Crystal's best asset, and I felt privileged to have been part of their family for 21 days.
Would recommend Scenic Tours to everyone, they were very helpful and all went very smoothly, and would definitely tour with them again.

Cuttack, city, eastern Orissa state, eastern India. Lying at the apex of the Mahanadi River delta, the city was the state capital until succeeded by Bhubaneswar in 1948.
Cuttack was founded in the 13th century by King Anangabhima Deva III, but it fell to the Muslims in 1266, to the Marathas in 1751, and to the British in 1803. An important river port and trade centre, it has good rail and road connections to the rest of Orissa and to Kolkata (Calcutta) and other Indian cities. Cuttack's industries include manufacturing, handicrafts, and milling of agricultural products. The Central Rice Research Institute, the Orissa School of Engineering, and several colleges are located in Cuttack. The city has a famous ruined fort and numerous temples, monuments, and churches.
Cuttack's surrounding region comprises a narrow, marshy strip along the coast and, inland, an irrigated, rice-growing alluvial plain and a hilly section. Drained by the Mahanadi and Brahmani rivers, it produces jute and pulses, with fishing also important. Glass, steel tubes, paper, and textiles are among the manufactures. Jajpur is a famous pilgrimage centre, and the Assia hill range contains several centres of Buddhist art. Pop. (2001) city, 534,654.

Despite bathrooms having a bad reputation in almost all Feng Shui practices, because of the numerous drains that let valuable chi energy flow out with the water, this is less applicable to modern bathrooms with elegant room-like designs. In fact, in contemporary Feng Shui, the bathroom has a special place in your home's energy circulation and should not be simply closed off and forgotten, but arranged to enhance chi flow throughout the house. Here are 7 simple things you can do to transform your bathroom into an energy-rich, positive and relaxing room.
1. De-clutter and freshen up
Before you can think about arranging any room into a Feng Shui vibrant energy center, it is important to start off with a clean and simplified interior. There are numerous sources online offering tips on how to improve your bathroom storage options and clear the surfaces through clever organization. If you have a dozen threadbare mismatching or discoloured towels, throw them out and look for an online sale for beautiful towel or bath sheet sets to match your décor. We recommend looking through the selection at http://www.thetowelshop.co.uk/bath-sheet-large-size/ for cheap bath sheet sets to neatly fold and arrange around the bathroom. Replace your mats and toilet seat cover or get rid of them entirely. It is a smart Feng Shui move to cover your drains with a nice rug or a fresh mat.
2. Balance the elements
Usually there is plenty of water in the bathroom but you might struggle how to bring the rest of the five basic elements into your décor. You can accomplish that directly, by placing a plant to symbolize earth, a few candles to represent fire, a metal and a wood decorative element to stand for the respective elements (picture frames accomplish this just fine), or look into color solutions for element representation. Most Feng Shui stores offer framed pictures and artwork that incorporate all elements though shapes and colors.
3. Hang a crystal
According to the principles of Feng Shui, a good method to divert chi energy from flowing out through the drains is to balance it with a crystal hanging from the ceiling, about 9 inches off-center, to attract energy upwards.
4. Close off energy escapes
Don't forget to close all drains after a shower or a bath. As we already mentioned, a cleverly positioned rag can stop the energy escaping through floor drains. Keep the toilet seat closed at all times.
5. Mind the doors
As you probably know by now, Feng Shui recommends that all bathroom doors are closed tightly shut, especially during the night. In fact, if you have already created a vibrant and uplifting Feng Shui space out of your bathroom, why not enjoy it to the fullest by keeping the doors open. Of course, there are a few cases when it's better to keep the bathroom door shut, despite the changes you have incorporated: if it is directly facing your bed or your front door, or if it is situated close to your kitchen.

A Jackson County judge will decide next week who should get custody of little Zoey Michelle Belcher.
And the fight has increasingly become nasty and personal with accusations of illegal or questionable behavior being filed.
The hearing began Tuesday and concluded Thursday afternoon. Judge Daniel Wheeler said he will issue his ruling by next Thursday, and he told attorneys and family members that he faces a difficult decision.
He said he would rather the families work out their differences before he has to issue the ruling.
Zoey was born Sept. 11, 2012. Less than three months later on Dec. 1, her father, Chiefs player Jovan Belcher, fatally shot her mother, Kasandra Perkins.
Belcher then drove to Arrowhead Stadium, where he put a gun to his head and fired the trigger before horrified team officials, including the then-general manager and coach.
Belcher's mother, Cheryl Shepherd, who lives in New York, wants custody. She wants her granddaughter to live with her in New York.
Perkins' cousin, Sophie Perkins, who lives in Austin, TX, is also seeking custody.
Shepherd took the stand Tuesday afternoon. She said she had supported her son and his girlfriend, who she considered like a daughter, during the pregnancy and after the child was born. The couple had issues, and Shepherd had moved into their east Kansas City house about three weeks before the murder-suicide.
Shepherd was there when Belcher fired nine rounds into Kasandra Perkins. She frantically called 911 and could be heard pleading with Perkins not to die.
On Wednesday, Shepherd faced tough questions as to why police came to her home 70 times in 15 years. Many were for domestic disturbances or harassment calls with Shepherd saying the other calls were of a minor nature.
Shepherd said the incidents involved her adult daughters and their ex-boyfriends, not her. She said most, but not all, of the incidents occurred before Zoey's birth.
She said her son would want her to raise his daughter.
After the murder-suicide last year, police officers and social workers gave Zoey to Shepherd's care. She was making funeral arrangements for her son, and allowed her granddaughter to travel to Texas for her mother's funeral. She thought she would get Zoey back.
But Kasandra Perkins' family then refused to give up custody. The child is enrolled in a Texas daycare. Perkins' family members said they are involved in raising the child, but have allowed Belcher's family to see his daughter on occasion.
Rebecca Gonzales and Darryl Perkins, Kasandra Perkins' parents, testified that their daughter would have wanted Sophie Perkins to have custody of her daughter. They said Sophie Perkins is a better option than they are because she is a loving young woman who is a responsible homeowner and has a stable career.
Darryl Perkins was grilled about his drug use. He admitted he had used cocaine, including in the past year. He also said he went to drug rehab some years ago.
Shepherd's attorney argued that since Darryl Perkins has been in jail for more than one driving-while-intoxicated charge and has drug issues, it wouldn't be safe for his granddaughter to be around him on a regular basis.
Sophie Perkins' attorney argued that Shepherd is a smoker and Zoey would face the dangers of second-hand smoke while in her custody. But Shepherd said she does not smoke inside her home.
Sophie Perkins testified Thursday about her upbringing and her life. A graduate of Texas Tech University, Sophie Perkins said she participates in numerous charitable organizations, including the March of Dimes and American Cancer Society. She said she and Kasandra Perkins were involved in charity endeavors together, and said her cousin would want her to raise Zoey.
She said Zoey lives along with her at her home in Austin, and she has a stable career.
Dr. Carrie Contey, a psychologist, human developmental specialist and parent coach, testified Tuesday morning. She said she met with both Shepherd and Sophie Perkins, and said both would provide an ideal home for the baby.
But Contey said it is important for a baby to develop a secure bond with a primary caregiver so that she doesn't develop attachment issues. She told Judge Daniel Wheeler that it would not be in Zoey's best interest for her to spend six months with her paternal family and six months with her maternal family.
The judge will only decide custody and will not work out the probate issues of Belcher and Kasandra Perkins' estates.
Zoey will have access to money from the NFL, including a life insurance policy. In addition, the owners of the Chiefs, the Hunt family, set up a trust fund for Zoey. A third party is expected to handle the money on Zoey's behalf, not her guardian.
Cameras were banned from the courtroom, but reporters were allowed to attend.

A Wisconsin company has been making toilets for more than a century and with millions sold worldwide, profits are going anywhere but down the drain.
"You're not going to want to leave this toilet," Kohler Interior Designer Travis Rotelli said.
And with a price tag of $6,400, Kohler designers say you shouldn't have to.
"It is motion activated so if you motion in front of the toilet it's going to automatically lift for you," Rotelli said.
Meet NUMI, the Kohler company's most advanced toilet.
"It's something that you'll definitely enjoy using every day."
This toilet plays music, has a heated seat and speaks ten different languages.
According to Rotelli, "Kohler has always prided themselves with staying one step ahead in the industry."
The company has been located in Kohler, Wisconsin since it was founded in 1873. But they make a lot more than just toilets.
"We always have something in our bag that will help meet the need or solve the problem that they're currently having in their existing space," Rotelli said.
From cast iron sinks in specialty colors, to specialty faucets and bathtubs, designers say their passion for home improvement runs deep.
"When they look at a Kohler toilet or they feel a Kohler faucet, you can feel the quality that's engineered in that product," Diana Schrage, a Kohler interior designer, told Newsline 9.
The brand is known worldwide, with locations on six continents. Company officials say Kohler's 30,000 employees keep the company on the cutting edge.
"We've revamped our flushing platform," Rotelli said.
Kohler has hundreds of varieties of toilets and with many, you can even customize your flush.
"They now flush quicker, they clean the bowl better, they're much faster," he said.
And it doesn't stop there. Kohler designers are constantly coming up with new ways to deliver water.
Schrage is always trying new things. "They can have it coming out of the ceiling, they can have it coming out of the wall, out of a mirror."
Making your bathroom or kitchen a work of art.
"And we know that every day that they're using that space we've impacted them positively by providing those solutions," she said.
Kohler employees say they're proud to be based in Wisconsin.
"We're still in one of the most beautiful parts of the country, yet we're touching global design every day," Schrage said.
Thanks to a commitment to quality, and the kitchen sink.

Thread: Joseph!
June 6th, 2013 09:47 PM #1
Just a new (and old!) crush. Quite possibly inspired by the fact that I just watched Premium Rush with my little sister and I may or may not have a minor crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
I had been crushing on it before we ever saw the movie, though, so I think that just cemented it. Thoughts on Joseph? I do love the nn Joe, and I don't mind Joey, but are their more--unexpected, I guess, is the word?--nns for it? I'm not terribly fond of Joss, and while Seph intrigues me, I'm not sure how usable it is? I'm quite happy with just Joseph and Joe, but I figured I'd see if there was something else I was missing.
Also, combo ideas? So far I've tossed around Joseph Lev (maybe Joseph Lev Booker or Joseph Lev Alexander), Joseph Cyprian (love the sort of underhanded reference to Barnabas, the apostle), Joseph Leo, and Joseph ["L"-something] Brave. The LB middle initials would be for my grandfather, whose full name was L. B.
Does Joseph fit with the names in my signature?
Thanks, ladies!
June 6th, 2013 09:56 PM #3
I think Joseph fits right in with your names. It's biblical like Caleb, Asher, Samuel, and Boaz. The nn Joe gives it a crispness like Everett and Jack. I see Joseph as a brother to Olivia, Rachel, Charlotte, or Hannah ( any of them really, but I like Joseph with these best).
I like the Joseph Lev Alexander combo
You have such lovely names, Ashley! I hope you have enough children to use them all!My darling little Bean is a G I R L!

Haha, I don't think I'll have 25+ kids, lol, but thanks, anyway! I wish I could name 25+ kids, though.

I love Joseph, although I'd probably never use it... it might just be the most common boys' name in my community. I probably know more than 100 guys named Joseph (although I get the feeling that this is in no way representative of the general American public). I've known Joes, Joeys, Jo Jos, Ephys (I do think this one is quite cute), Joseys, a Jep, Joses, Jays, J.(insert initial). s, and one guy who went by Josephus.Emiliana Pari Debuts July 2014Soren Pasha, Caspian Bardia, Raphael

Really? That surprises me, because the youngest Joseph I've known/met is at least in middle school, probably even high school by now! But on the other hand, I looked it up, and Joseph ranks number 11 in my state (where are all these Josephs?!), which is 9 points higher than the national average. Hmm. I'm not sure it bothers me--Olivia ranks in the top 5, and I'd still use that in a heartbeat. Besides, Joseph's so classic, it's not like if I used it his name would be dated to 2013 (or, more likely 2018 or 2020).
Any other combo ideas? I really like the idea of Joseph Lev or Joseph ____ Brave--ideally I'd like to keep one or both of them, although I'm not sure Joseph Lev Brave really works...

Volleyball falls in three sets to Guilford
September 18, 2013
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College volleyball team lost in three sets of non-conference play against Guilford College. Guilford won 25-18, 25-15, 25-15. Michelle Morgan (Chattanooga, TN) led the Spirits with 5 kills. Salem falls to 1-9 for the season.
The first set went back and forth, before Guilford was able to pull away at the end. The Quakers were able to take control of sets two and three early.
Chelsea Jones (Glade Valley, NC) led Salem with 14 set assists and she also had 4 digs. Taylor Rhodes (Jamestown, NC) and Zy Henderson (Spartanburg, SC) each had 11 digs, and Rhodes had 4 kills.
The Spirits head to cross-town rivals Piedmont Baptist on September 24th at 7:00.

At Maplefields in Colchester, Powerball tickets are flying out of the store, with printing from the Powerball register up 20 times more than normal.
"It's been crazy," said McKenzie McNull of Maplefields. "It's probably the most Powerball tickets we've ever sold."
Nationally, lottery officials say 100,000 tickets are being sold every single minute. For a cash payout this big, for many, it seems unimaginable.
"It's hard to believe," said Veronica Dragon, a Powerball player. "It should be shared, definitely shared."
Dragon hopes to pick her multimillion dollar destiny by selecting numbers that for her hold special meaning.
"How many years we've been married, our birthdays, my grandkids' birthdays," she said.
Pay, then point, shoot and email is the method for Mike Antonioli. He and each of his co-workers are buying 15 tickets for a company pool. He says with his method no one can run and hide if there's a winner in the group.
"I take a picture of those and I email those to everyone in the company," Antonioli said. "So everyone knows what our numbers are so we don't get into that McDonald's thing in Pennsylvania."
The $550 million estimated jackpot is a new record for the game. If you choose the lump sum, you'd walk away with almost $350 million-- pretax, that is. The federal government takes about 25 percent off the top, and the state takes an average of 5 to 7 percent, as well.
"With any luck at all I'll have a safe deposit box by morning," said Linda Langlois, a Powerball player.
No matter how you slice it, the winner will have plenty of wealth to spread around-- one man playing his lotto luck even promised to share with me and WCAX News photographer Joe Carroll.
"I said I'd buy you guys Hummers and verbal is binding," Jeff Leyden said.
Since the game started in Vermont in 2003 there's never been a jackpot winner in Vermont. But you don't actually have to hit the jackpot to win big. Since this jackpot started accumulating in October there have been 40 new millionaires nationwide who matched five out of six numbers. And you know what they say-- you can't win if you don't play.
Lottery sales help the state education fund and a spike in sales like this may help Vermont schools. With all the lottery games combined, the Vermont lottery contributes about $22 million a year to the state education fund. But the lottery commissioner estimates this boom since Saturday could bring an extra $125,000.

Here's one advantage that illegal skyscraper-scaling has over mountaineering: Unlike Everest, which give or take a few inches remains the same height for ages, the targets for urban climbers continually get taller and more insane.
Or psychotically monkey bonkers, if we're talking about the crew that recently clambered up Mercury City in Moscow. At about 1,110 feet high, the still-unfinished office and residential tower recently stole the title of Europe's tallest building from London's Shard. But that wasn't enough for the scurrying squirrels that inhabit Moscow's concrete jungle. They wanted to touch the wobbling apex of the spire – the end of a rooftop construction crane that hovers 1,214 feet above the cold, hard ground.
That crane is so high in the atmosphere that it's shrouded in clouds and plated with ice. Reaching it required as much of a physical toll as it did an intellectual one, explains climber Vitaliy Raskalov in the below video. Mercury City is protected by a daunting security network that makes it near impossible for "regular guys" to get in, says Raskalov. There are roving guard patrols, CCTVs, motion detectors and a "real-life anthill of Turkish construction workers who will not only call the alarm if they see anyone, but can also beat you up really badly." And then when they hand you over to the police, you'll likely get another beating.
I won't ruin the details of the heist, except to say that not all of the guys use the stairs to exit Mercury City. Follow the climbers as they dodge security and ascend the frosty crane in this incredible footage, which is being sponsored by urban-sports outfit Show Yourself. Make sure to turn on the English captions if viewing on YouTube:

The North-Fayette Valley TigerHawks rolled into Sumner looking to head into the post season a perfect 9-0. The Cougars of had other ideas.
Both teams scored on their opening drives, the TigerHawks got a one yard run from Josh Mackey while Jalen Tranbarger took a direct snap 56 yards for a score that gave the Cougars a 7-6 lead early on.
Tranbarger had the games biggest play when he took a North-Fayette Valley punt back 70 yards for a touchdown that gave Sumner-Fredericksburg 14-13 lead.
North-Fayette Valley used three straight touchdown runs from Josh Mackey to build what they thought was a comfortable 30-13 lead late in the second quarter.
But the Cougars would go on a 28-0 run from there on out and win by the final score of 41-30.

Can adding a USB 3.0 adapter to an older system help speed up external storage access? SilverStone believes it can, and provides us with one to prove their point. Let's see what it can really do.
The USB 3.0 standard was announced to the world in November of 2008. The first consumer products were shipped to vendors in November 2009, and the first certified consumer products were announced in January 2010 at CES in Las Vegas.
With more and more USB 3.0 devices such as high speed external HDD enclosures and external Blu-Ray burners becoming available, and many newer cases having front USB 3.0 ports, as well as the number of add-in ports for 3.5 bays now on the market, there are many consumers considering using a PCI-E USB 3.0 adaptor instead of replacing the system motherboard. Most of these adaptors have internal USB type-A ports which use a cable to connect just like an external port. However, for those that need 19-pin connectors, SilverStone has the only solution that we could find on the market.
To quote their website;
"SilverStone EC03 is an expansion card that connects to the motherboards via a single lane PCI-E gen 2.0 slot. Its single USB 3.0 internal connector offers output for dual front port USB 3.0 super speed interface which enables data transfer with maximum compatibility and stability. For those looking to use cases or drive bays that supports the new USB 3.0 internal connector standard, the EC03 is the quickest way to upgrade any motherboard with PCI-E gen 2.0 slot to be compatible with the new standard"
We have to ask, does it live up to the claims, and is it worth the cost? In the following pages we will attempt to discover just those answers as we look at the SilverStone EC03B/S. The "B" or "S" on the end denotes the color of the port housing: B=Black; S=Silver.
The EC03 is currently listed on Amazon.com at about $32 USD, but we see ranging from $29 to $62 online, so shop around.
Features & Specifications
- Supports standard USB 3.0 internal connector
- PCI Express 2.0 with single lane (x1) throughput 5Gbit/s
- Supports simultaneous operation of multiple USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 devices
- Offers up to two external USB 3.0 super speed ports
- 5. Support 5V bus power from computer's power supply
- Build in power connector to receiving extra power from system

Comments about adidas San Antonio Spurs Revolution 30 Custom Swingman Home Jersey:
Ordered a "Sugar K" Custom jersey, was excited that they offered a swing man like this. Didn't see the fine print. The custom letters are just plain black letters and glued to the jersey, with no stitching around them. Everything else is stitched like tradional swing mans are. It still looks good, just not quite what I was expecting. Letters on back don't match.

I agree. Let me just say
Verfasst von Anonymous (nicht überprüft) am Do, 12/01/2012 - 21:29.
I agree. Let me just say that with the statement from Petzl and IRATA, and the safety issues resident to the ASAP (and now the SHUNT), my company now has no choice but to ban both of these devices for any work use. I will be looking to other companies for more suitable products, and I may even expand my search to include ascent and descent devices. The growing trend from petzl seems to be money first and safety after, I do not approve!

CARLSBAD (CNS) - The annual Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon and Half-Marathon is scheduled for Sunday.
Runners are scheduled to depart from Westfield Plaza Camino Real shortly after 6 a.m. and head west, then turn south down the city's shoreline.
From there, the half-marathoners will turn back. Those running the full 26.2 miles will add a leg out past McClellan-Palomar Airport.
The race will finish back at the shopping center, where a health and lifestyle expo will be held under a 20,000-square-foot tent.
Like the Rock 'n Roll Marathon in San Diego, musical acts will perform along the route to encourage the runners.
Proceeds are set to benefit 21 organizations, including the Alzheimer's Association, the American Liver Foundation, Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, the Joe & Mary Mottino Family YMCA, Labrador Rescuers and San Diego Youth Services.

I read somewhere that basically said, "If Manny is this good, why would he ever do steroids?" Is it too much to assume that either (a) the benefits he enjoyed from using PEDs are still lingering in his body to some degree, even after his 50-game ban, or (b) that he used his time off to find a way to inject himself without getting caught? Either way, this is a mighty pinch-hit grand slam from Manny in LA last night. It doesn't look like anyone's too concerned with getting Ramirez to pee in a cup after that blast. Watching that sort of thing is always kind of a buzzkill, or that's what my mother-in-law always says. Hey, how was I supposed to know that bathroom door wouldn't lock?

Wheatley campus up and running after power cut
10:20am Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News
Oxford Brookes Wheatley campus was last night running on two temporary power generators.
Lectures were cancelled at 4pm on Monday after the campus suffered a power cut.
Engineers from Southern Electric restored power before midnight using the portable generators but the company expects the campus to be running off them for the next few days, while the fault is diagnosed and repairs made.
Southern Electric's Duncan MacDonald said: "We have set up two small power generators, each one approximately the size of a car. The students and staff will not experience any difference to their power supply while our engineers look for the problem and fix it. Our priority is the continuation of normal service."
The powercut was caused by a fault in the cable network supplying the university, and the rest of Wheatley was not affected.
Oxford Brookes spokesman Matthew Butler said: "Everything is back up and running off the generators."

If i would of know about this unit before i started my salt water adventure i would of gotten this unit two years ago. I also have the drinking water hook up. I just got in the auto flush system i don't need a booster pump since i have an average of 65 to 75 psi of water pressure after the filterers. and at the line into the hose about 80 psi. This is the best System on the market in my opinion. I will more then likely up grade to the 150 when i go from a 38 gallon to my dream 250 gallon. Freakin Awesome By T.J. on 8/12/2014 T.J. would recommend this product to a friend Didn't think I would get excited about a RO/DI unit....I really like it though! It's very well made. All the added perks of the deluxe are really nice. Well done BRS!!! Impressively convenient and easy to use. By anizato on 7/21/2014 anizato would recommend this product to a friend This filter is incredible. It takes about 12 minutes to fill a gallon or so @ 50ish psi. My water is pristine and tastes better than any bottled product out there. My reef is in great shape thanks to the 0 TDS water. It is great to just have vast amounts of RODI water at home without having to go anywhere for it or carry it around more than a few feet. Plus, the "waste" water from the black line is great for watering the grass, plants, washing the car and mopping, rinsing dishes, etc. Use it almost everyday and still get 8TDS coming into the DI-Resin and 0TDS coming out. PERFECT H20. It also has the convenience of being portable. If for some reason you can't have this unit permanently installed you could easily store it (keep the water inside, don't drain it). Coming with several ways to adapt it to your specific plumbing situation it is impressively convenient and easy to use. Great Addition! By Maxwell on 5/19/2014 Maxwell would recommend this product to a friend This product is very easy to set up and use. I was very happy to find the filter monitor pre programed for each stage. Makes me wish I ordered this sooner. Excellent By MechEngineer on 5/19/2014 MechEngineer would recommend this product to a friend A must have for saltwater aquariums; your water company can switch over to Chloramines anytime so this protects you by filtering that and Chlorine. It took my water company a year to send a letter that Chloramines will kill your fish if you don't treat it. It came with a broken filtration monitor but BRS replaced it immediately. I've run thousands of gallons thru it and still working great. Excellent By Luthor167 on 5/16/2014 Luthor167 would recommend this product to a friend I'm very happy with my ro/di system. I have it setup to both provide great purity water for my tank and also water for the family. My next purchase will likely be the booster pump as my water pressure here is only 40 psi where I have it connected (Laundry room) and higher pressures not only increase production rate, they lower the amount of waste water created when the RO is in use. I'm building my mixing station in the laundry room tomorrow! Buy it! By Curtis on 4/21/2014 Curtis would recommend this product to a friend I have just started into the Saltwater hobby and I just set up my RO/DI system. very easy and works very well. Buy it!!! By brandon on 4/17/2014 brandon would recommend this product to a friend Arrived in one piece and works great. Was suprised by how well it really is built...wish id got it last year so id saved money. Great By Sam on 4/16/2014 Sam would recommend this product to a friend Love this R/O machine BRS 6 Stage Chloramines DELUXE RO/DI System - 75GPD By james on 3/26/2014 james would recommend this product to a friend This is a must have if you are going to keep a salt water tank. Even more so if you plan to keep a reef tank. When I look at the cost of a 2 or 3 or even a 4 stage RO/DI system andcompare to this 6 stage one IMHO it is a no brainer. I always get the best product I can afford. This system is easy to use install. It includes everything you need. Providing your tank with the best water is the same as providing yourself with the best food. If nothing you should always have a good RO/DI unit. Great product, packing for shipment needs to be better By Greg Dorp on 3/13/2014 Greg Dorp would recommend this product to a friend I replaced a old RO system with this RO/DI system. The installation was very easy with the Mur-Lok fittings. I like the unit because it has a two meters one for the Filters and a TDS meter. The only problem I had was the unit came damaged, the water inlet and filter meter volume sensor was broken. Customer service was great an shipped out replacements asap. Then I found the connection between the first and second filter was also cracked when I finally was able to turn water back on. PS look it over closely before taking down your old system for damage. Excellent quality product loaded with options / features By Jeff on 2/26/2014 Jeff would recommend this product to a friend Needed to update my RO unit. As my municipality treats our water with chlorine and ammonia (to create chloramines), this unit was ideally suited. As stated, it comes with many optional components to make installation simple, as well as a float vale. Build quality is very good. I've been running the unit for a few weeks and have had no difficulties with it. Both meters operate well. Buying this unit would save you a little money versus purchasing a bit less expensive one, and then adding some of the additional features over time. I also use for drinking water (plumbed to fridge and sink) before treating the water with the deionization unit.

Some parents are upset tonight after they were told their autistic child would be switching schools, but the Fargo school district says the move is in the best interest of the children.
A letter was sent out to 8 Fargo parents saying they would be relocating their autistic child from Lewis and Clark elementary in south Fargo to Washington located in the north part of town.
"It's one particular group with special needs. We are trying to meet the needs and the other space does a better job doing that," says Dr. Jeffrey Schatz, Fargo Schools Superintendent.
Dr. Schatz says they have more than one hundred students in the district with autism and they try to meet everyone's need they best they can.
"This other classroom space we have available at the other elementary school would do a better job for us and provide a better educational experience for those students," says Dr. Schatz.
While the school district says its in the best interest of the child parents say the move is frustrating and an inconvenience.
"If there was a child in a wheel chair they wouldn't switch their schools. They'd get accommodations in their own neighborhood school."
This mother says she doesn't think her child should have to move.
"It's difficult to see people she's been with and now is going somewhere where she knows no one."
And while some parents are clearly upset by the recent news, the district is willing to address that concern.
"We are going to meet and hopefully parents will understand the need to do this," says Dr. Schatz.
The district will be holding a meeting with the parents at 6:00 Monday night.

Two periods too late
It's frustrating as a fan to wait the 48 hours in-between games and then, when it's finally time to drop the puck, watch the Penguins put up a dismal performance in the first two periods. There was no jump. They took stupid penalties and they could not answer to the Flyers, who relentlessly came out of the gates from the start. Philadelphia deserved the win, even if the Pens made it a game a little too late.
Other Game Four thoughts:
-Somewhere in heaven, Granpa John is smiling. What a game by Jordan Staal tonight. A day after burying his grandfather, he was one of the few Penguins who showed up at thw Wachovia Center.
-Co-MVP for the Pens tonight: Tyler Kennedy. He recorded both assists on Staal's goals and brought some spark to Pittsburgh tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to see TK get a huge goal (his first of the playoffs) come Sunday afternoon.
-Is it just me or has Pascal Dupuis been very disappointing in this series? He was a sparkplug during the regular-season, but in the playoffs he's shown nothing but terrible shooting accuracy and not a lot of jump, even with playing alongside Sidney Crosby.
-SHOOT THE PUCK PITTSBURGH! This might sound funny to say to a high-powered offense like the Penguins or to a team that put up 38 shots tonight, but consistently I'm seeing one too many strides, one too many passes, and one too many moves. Just get the puck on net and who knows what'll happen. Two of the biggest culprits of this is Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang. I think Sid is thinking pass-first way too much and LeTang, for some reason, has a lack of confidence in his shot. During the season, one of the few times LeTang showed confidence was when he was in a situation when he had no choice but to let it rip: the shootout.
-You can't score goals if all of your shots are at Martin Biron's chest or right to his glove.
-You have to hand it to the Flyers. They had no choice but to win this game and came out all hands on deck. There was a sense of urgency in that first period and Marc-Andre Fleury was blasted with 17 shots and 3 goals, easily the worst period in the playoffs so far.
-Telling stat: Philly 2-4 on the power-play. The Pens: 0-6.
-Before this game, the pressure was all on the Penguins and it will remain the rest of the series. When you have opportunities to close out an opponent, you have to capitalize on all of your chances. Throwing a lifeline to the Flyers can be dangerous. Philly has no pressure on them. Their backs are up against a wall that has no opening. It's all on the Penguins backs now to close this series out on Sunday at home, much like they did to the Rangers two weeks ago.
Sunday at 3pm ET can't come soon enough.
The Prince of Wales Trophy will be in house again. I think it's time that baby made an appearance.
Let's Go Pens!

The family of a Fulton County inmate who died in jail is now demanding answers.Douglas Brown, a 41-year-old Army veteran, was at the Fulton County Jail for delinquent child support, but he wound up dead 12 days later. Brown's family says the father of two's only medical complication was diabetes."Diabetes is a disease that is treatable," said attorney Brian Spears. "Death by diabetes is not necessary. Death by diabetes for this man was a crime."Brown's family attorney, Mawuli Davis, said he interviewed a man in the Fulton County jail who claims to have witnessed Brown in distress. "He was in a urine-filled diaper with vomit and feces all over his body and the eyewitness that we spoke with said he saw him seizing --having seizures -- yet no medical attention was provided," Davis said. "The allegation was he was faking."FOX 5 talked with the Fulton County sheriff's office about Brown's death back in October.A spokesperson told us then that "Mr. Brown made two trips to Grady Memorial Hospital during his incarceration. He also developed other complications".The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office has told Fox 5 that Brown died of natural causes. The family wants to meet with Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and Sheriff Ted Jackson. They also plan to file suit against the company that operates the medical wing of the jail.A spokesman for the Fulton County Sheriff's Office said their own investigation showed no deputies did anything wrong in their handling of the inmate.
Another Georgia parent has sued his children's school district over guns. The lawsuit is directed at Fulton County schools.

Six Points: Cardinals back over .500 with win over Texans
Originally published: Nov 10, 2013 - 8:36 pm
Yes, the Arizona Cardinals lost the turnover battle Sunday, but they had just enough to beat the Houston Texans 27-24 to push their record to 5-4 and announce themselves as true second-half players in the NFC Playoff picture.
The Cardinals struck early -- on Houston's first play from scrimmage, in fact -- as John Abraham strip-sacked Texans QB Case Keenum. Matt Shaughnessy scooped it up and took it into the end zone from six yards out to give Arizona an early lead. That play set the tone for a strong defensive performance for the Cards.
Here are six things that stood out to me from Sunday's win.
1. Defense, defense, defense
It shouldn't come as any real surprise that Arizona's defense excelled again on Sunday -- that's been a common plot line all season long.
But once again, the Cardinals' 'D' elevated its level of play, limiting the Texans to just 41 yards after halftime and none in the the third quarter. The Texans' lone second-half points came after a turnover deep in Arizona territory (more on that later.)
Just another dominating defensive performance.
2. There's a reason they're not on offense
Another common refrain for the Cardinals' defense has been a large number of dropped interceptions. Sunday, there were a couple more. One by Karlos Dansby and one by Daryl Washington that very well could have resulted in two more defensive scores.
"We played a strong game in all phases, from the defensive line to the linebackers," cornerback Patrick Peterson said, then pausing to look in Dansby's direction. "Of course, 'Los could have helped us more, but I just think we put together a strong performance."
Washington knows he missed an opportunity as well. "Oh man, don't talk about that. That was just to the house right there," he said. "I should have had two hands on it and I should have caught it. But unfortunately I didn't, but we got the win."
I know this falls under the nit-picking column as Dansby and Washington have been arguably the team's most valuable players through nine games this season.
3. John Abraham
Admit it -- through the first six games of the season, you had the 14-year veteran pegged as one of those guys who came to Arizona "to retire."
The NFL's active leading sack artist failed to get to the quarterback until getting two in a Thursday night loss to Seattle in Week 7 -- his longest sackless streak since a six-gamer in 2006 when he was with the Atlanta Falcons. But since he got a taste, he's been a frequent visitor to the opposing signal caller ever since.
The former South Carolina Gamecock had two more Sunday, with the big one coming on the game's first offensive snap. He's got five sacks in his last three games, and has been way more visible in all facets of the defense recently. If Abraham can continue his upward trend, the Cardinals will be a much more difficult team to attack via the passing game down the stretch.
4. Justin Bethel with the play of the game?
After J.J. Watt strip-sacked Carson Palmer inside the Cardinals' 25-yard line with just :37 left in the first half, the Texans failed to advance the football. Case Keenum threw two incomplete passes followed by a third down run by Dennis Johnson that gained zero yardage.
But the Texans were still in field goal range, and a make on a 40-yard attempt by Randy Bullock would have stretched Houston's lead to 20-14 going into halftime.
Enter Cardinals special teams player extraordinaire Justin Bethel.
The second-year pro from Presbyterian blew around the right side of Houston's line, right past tight end Ryan Griffin, and blocked Bullock's attempt to keep the Texans' lead at three -- which turned out to be the Cardinals' winning margin.
Head coach Bruce Arians summed it up rather succinctly in his postgame press conference. "Justin Bethel is just outstanding at blocking field goals. There are very few guys that can do that."
5. Mendenhall's performance
Facing a third down and one from the Houston 16-yard line and trailing 17-14 midway through the third quarter, Arians called Rashard Mendenhall's number. Despite a pretty good push by guard Paul Fanaika and tackle Eric Winston on the right side, Mendenhall hesitated and was stopped for no gain by Houston's Brooks Reed.
The Cardinals had to settle for a field goal from Jay Feely which tied the score.
Mendenhall actually responded well immediately afterward, even gaining 12 yards on a second down carry -- his longest run of the year.
The Cardinals built their lead to 10 points in the fourth quarter, and surely this would be a time for the veteran runner to carry the load and help Arizona run out the clock. But on the first play of a possession that started with under five minutes to play, Mendenhall was stripped by J.J. Watt, who also recovered at the Cardinals' 5-yard line. The Texans scored three plays later to pull to within a field goal and Mendenhall wouldn't see the field for the rest of the game.
With Mendenhall's struggles -- he's averaged 3.1 yards per carry and has lost two fumbles -- you'd think maybe his head coach would lose a little faith in him. Nope.
"Oh yeah. There's no doubt," he said when asked if his faith in Mendenhall was the same. So if you were looking for more carries for Ellington or fellow rookie Stepfan Taylor, or (God forbid) Ryan Williams, you'll just have to keep waiting, Cardinal fans.
6. Tight end production
It certainly wasn't a huge day, but it was nice to see the Cardinals get some production from the tight end position.
Rob Housler had five catches for 57 yards and scored his first NFL touchdown, while Jim Dray (1 catch, 9 yards) and newcomer Jake Ballard (1 catch, 15 yards) also got into the act. With Michael Floyd exiting the game with a shoulder injury, production from the tight ends was a welcome addition.
