It sounds almost quaint these days to recall former independent presidential candidate Ross Perot, who warned in 1992 how catastrophic it would be if "our children" were to inherit a $4 trillion debt.
If only. The nation's debt is more than four times that now, closing in on $17 trillion and climbing. And that doesn't count the unfunded liabilities for Medicare, Social Security and federal employee retirement benefits. Estimates of the nation's true debt range somewhere between $87 trillion and $123 trillion.
The nonpartisan Concord Coalition, citing data models from the Government Accountability Office, found that by 2027, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and net interest would consume all revenues collected by the federal government.
Yet the unending mantra from the left is that everything would be fine, and government could do even more for the "most vulnerable" and the middle class if the rich would only pay their "fair share."
With numbers like that, it is clear that the government could confiscate 100 percent of the assets of every "millionaire" (defined by the president as making $250,000 or more), and it would not even make a dent in that debt. Then, once the rich are broke, where would the next infusion of cash come from?
That's what true leaders – the kind Obama spoke of when he was a senator – would be talking about. Instead, the White House and its enablers feed television stations stories about how little Susie could get her cancer treatments started again if only those mean Republicans would end the government shutdown.

Remember Me
CRYSTAL FALLS—Forest Park's football players hit the winds last Friday afternoon. Some went west to Bessemer, to see the new Gogebic Miners take down Lake Linden. Some went east to Bark River, where North Central, their opponent this Friday, won its third game of the season. And others went further south to Stephenson, where their Sept. 28 opponent, North Dickinson, won a high-scoring game against the Eagles.
Nobody went to Ontonagon: The Trojans' scheduled Sept. 14 game was called off early last week due to a spell of recent Gladiator injuries. It's a forfeit and will count as a Forest Park win in the Great Western Conference standings and in the season record. The Trojans are now 4-0 overall, 2-0 in the GWC. Hurtin' Glads: Onto had to end its Week 2 game against Ironwood early because of injuries. The Glads made it to the end of their Week 3 clash with powerful L'Anse, but with Forest Park on tap in Week 4, school officials decided it was time to regroup and get healthy. Coach Bill Santilli said he talked with the Glads' coach several times. "He said it's just in the best interests of their young kids to not put them in that position when they are not physically ready to play." There was talk, Santilli said, about playing a JV game against the younger Trojan players or else a scrimmage. "But at this point, he [the Ontonagon coach] said, they are so banged up that what they really need is just to lay off for a week and hopefully go from there." FP's coach wasn't happy that his team couldn't get even a half-speed game at Ontonagon. "But I'm not saying it's a bad thing right now," Santilli added. "We've had quite a number of starters who have been going light duty" early last week after their bruising win over Hurley Sept. 7. Coming up: The forfeit gave the Trojans an extra week to get ready for their game with North Central at Dick Mettlach Field on Sept. 21. The Jets defeated Bark River 26-6 on Sept. 14. That makes their record 3-1—their only loss was 30-24 to Lake Linden. Although both are Skyline Conference schools in other sports, the Trojans and North Central have not met on the gridiron since 1999.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos will be without Wes Welker for the first four games of the season after the NFL said the receiver violated the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.
The abrupt trade of Logan Mankins to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers served as only the latest reminder of the fundamental pillar of The Patriot Way under Bill Belichick: Every player is expendable — no matter his age, no matter his pedigree, no matter his experience, no matter how many Pro Bowls or Super Bowl rings he might have won.
The forecast for Miami for the Patriots' regular-season opener on Sunday calls for temperatures around 90 degrees with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Both veteran Vince Wilfork and rookie Dominique Easley missed significant time last season with injuries, leaving the New England defensive line dealing with some uncertainty as it enters the season.
In his typically enthusiastic but not exceptionally savvy fashion, New England tight end Rob Gronkowski told a group of reporters on Monday that he was going to be suiting up for the Patriots at Miami on Sunday.
I doubt that anyone who's reading this will be shocked to learn that some people — OK, lots and lots of people — place wagers on the outcome of National Football League games.
FOXBORO — It was not long after Rob Gronkowski was hurt on a hit by Cleveland's T.J. Ward last December that the speculation began. Would Gronkowski be ready for the following season? The question followed him throughout the spring as he didn't participate...
FOXBORO – The practice squad isn't what Josh Boyce had in mind entering his second season with the Patriots, but the 2013 fourth-round pick said he's glad to still be with the Patriots and will work to try and prove himself.
FOXBORO – The picture on who exactly replaces Logan Mankins on the Patriots' offensive line still isn't any clearer as the team preps for Miami this weekend.
FOXBORO – Ryan Allen and Stephen Gostkowski not only lost their longtime long snapper on Saturday, but also their friend when the Patriots released Danny Aiken on cut-down day.
The Patriots are looking up, health wise, heading into their season-opener in Miami this weekend.
The Patriots have added their long snapper, sort of.
Dax Swanson is the latest addition to the Patriots' practice squad, the Providence Journal has learned.
After initially making the team's 53-man roster, Ryan Mallett was traded to the Houston Texans on Sunday for a 2016 conditional seventh-round pick, according to NFL.com.
By the time many of his teammates were exiting the visitors' locker room deep in MetLife Stadium, Brandon Browner was taking his time. Wearing a flat-brimmed Patriots hat and blue dress shirt, he slowly...
The NFL waiver wire ended at noon on Sunday and it didn't take the Patriots long to start making moves. The team signed three players to their practice squad – running back Jonas Gray, linebacker Ja'Gared Davis and quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson – as well as claim defensive tackles Kelcy Quarles and Bruce Gaston off waivers.
Bill Belichick met with the media on Sunday morning for the first time since the Patriots trimmed their roster to 53 players.
FOXBORO — Maybe you had to have been here before to fully appreciate Patriot Place.
I'm picking the Pats to win in 2014. Ah, but win what?
Ryan Mallett survived cut-down day. The Patriots released 19 players and placed one on the injured reserve on Saturday. The most noteworthy cuts were Josh Boyce and Steve Beauharnais. The last player to get released was long snapper Danny Aiken.
Perhaps Aaron Dobson, a second-round pick last year, will work out for the Patriots.
The picture didn't get any clearer on Thursday night regarding the Patriots offensive line and how things would shake out after the trade of Logan Mankins.
Let the games begin. Saturday at 6 p.m., NFL teams will cut their rosters to 53 players. That means the Patriots will cut an additional 22 players from their team.
If all goes well this season for the Patriots, Jimmy Garoppolo won't see much – if any – time on the field. That's part of the reason why Bill Belichick played the rookie quarterback for the team's entire preseason finale on Thursday against the New York Giants.
There's one AFC East opponent that might be a bit strange for Darrelle Revis to go up against this season and no, it's not the New York Jets.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Tim Wright was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers only a few days ago and still hasn't had the opportunity to practice with his new Patriots teammates. But on Thursday, the tight end fit right in.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Thursday night in MetLife Stadium was supposed to be all about Jimmy Garoppolo.
In the battle of the backups, the New York Giant and Patriots are, 10-10, going into halftime.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Following the Logan Mankins trade, the Patriots have around $13.2 million in cap space. That number figures to change after Saturday's final series of roster cuts. The team can always roll that figure into next year.
In his introductory press conference to the Tampa Bay media, Logan Mankins said he holds no ill will toward the Patriots, but admitted that there were issues with his contract.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – In a game where most of the notable Patriots won't play, there are two players who will make their preseason debut Thursday night against the New York Giants – Bryan Stork and Aaron Dobson.
NEW YORK — Acknowledging he "didn't get it right" with a two-game suspension for Ravens running back Ray Rice, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced tougher penalties for players accused of domestic violence, including six weeks for a first offense and at least a year for a second.
Bill Belichick has said that rookie, second-round draft pick Jimmy Garoppolo will start at quarterback for the Patriots in their final preseason game Thursday night at the Meadowlands against the Giants.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have signed Tommy Kelly, two days after he was cut by the New England Patriots.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — In any other year, Tom Coughlin wouldn't be happy playing an extended preseason schedule.
FOXBORO – The feeling at practice was noticeably different for Roy Finch on Tuesday.
FOXBORO – Although the final preseason game is by far the most overlooked, Darius Fleming will be enjoying every moment he's out on the field Thursday as the Patriots take on the New York Giants.
FOXBORO – It remains to be seen how the Patriots handle the loss of Logan Mankins, but left tackle Nate Solder said he has plenty of confidence with whoever steps in.
FOXBORO — You don't often see an ounce of emotion exuded from Bill Belichick.
FOXBORO – After shocking Patriots Nation by trading longtime captain and left guard Logan Mankins, the team made a series of moves to get their roster down to 75 players.
FOXBORO — The trade of Logan Mankins justifiably sent shock waves through the Patriots locker room and New England on Tuesday afternoon. Only Tom Brady and Vince Wilfork had been with the Pats longer, and the idea of replacing Mankins on the offensive line is a daunting one, indeed.
It appears that the Patriots are more concerned about Rob Gronkowski's health than Tom Brady's.
FALL RIVER, Mass. — A Superior Court judge has suppressed a series of electronic items seized from the North Attleboro, Mass. mansion of Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriot tight end charged with three murders in Massachusetts.
FOXBORO – Cut-down day got a little more shocking on Tuesday as the Patriots agreed to trade All-Pro left guard to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for tight end Tim Wright and a fourth-round draft pick.
FOXBORO — The cuts have already started at Gillette Stadium.
Defensive back Devin McCourty is the 2014 winner of the New England Patriots Ron Burton Community Service Award.
FOXBORO — Is Ryan Mallett's time with the Patriots nearing its conclusion?
FOXBORO — The Patriots officially announced the release of four players on Monday, headlined of course by defensive linemen Tommy Kelly and Will Smith.
Younger, faster, cheaper.
FOXBORO — Among the 19 different players that the Patriots had on their eight-man practice squad a season ago, only a six players remain — Sealver Siliga, Josh Kline, Kanorris Davis, Ja'Gared Davis, Jordan Devey and Braxton Cave.
In every season cut-down day brings a surprise or two, especially around Gillette Stadium. This year, Patriots got started early.
As the Patriots head to their final week of training camp, there are still two major position battles to be determined on the team's roster at center and right guard.
FOXBORO — Julian Edelman is that rare type of find. That kind of player who sneaks up on you. A diamond in the rough, if you will.And it can't be overstated the improvements this 28-year-old has made since...
You shouldn't get too excited about preseason football, but the Pats have shown there's reason to be hopeful when the games really count.
For someone who was late to the party, Brian Tyms has certainly made the most out of his chances in New England.
Julian Edelman is that rare type of find. That kind of player that sneaks up on you. A diamond in the rough if you will.
FOXBORO — Shane Vereen played only half of last season, but when the running back was on the field he showed why the Patriots selected him in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
FOXBORO – If there was one example of a player making the most out of his preseason playing time on Friday, it was Steve Beauharnais.
FOXBORO – In the grand scheme of things, the score in any preseason game means as much to the regular season as fantasy football rankings. But if there's any game in August you can put some stock into – even a little –it's typically the third.
FOXBORO — The Patriots starters got plenty of work Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, but the team played their third preseason game without several mainstays on both offense and defense.Rob Gronkowski...
FOXBORO – The Patriots showed a little bit of everything in the first half of Friday night's game against the Carolina Panthers.
FOXBORO – The Patriots starters are expected to get to a lot of work Friday night against the Carolina Panthers, but the team will play their third preseason game without several mainstays on both offense and defense.
FOXBORO — Hall of Fame linebacker Andre Tippett had a simple answer for how often he left the field when the opponent had the ball.
FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — The fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez has asked a judge to throw out allegations she lied to a grand jury.
Because the third preseason game is when the projected, regular-season starters see the most action, some misguided souls attach importance to it that, at least in the case of Bill Belichick's New England Patriots, is wholly unjustified.
Word out of Carolina is that Panthers QB Cam Newton will play the entire first half in Friday night's preseason game against the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
FOXBORO — Matthew Slater still wakes up every day feeling humble.He's a three-time captain, three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro. But before any of that happened, he was a bubble player."I came in...
The Patriots made two roster moves on Thursday, cutting ties with tight end D.J. Williams and defensive lineman Marcus Forston.
FOXBORO — When the Patriots signed Will Smith in the offseason, the veteran defensive end was penciled in as the team's top backup behind Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich. But what wasn't shown in the transaction wire was all the work Michael Buchanan was putting in.
FOXBORO – When Brandon Bolden first got to Foxboro, he looked up to Danny Woodhead and second-year players Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen. Last year, the running back group had LeGarrette Blount and, for a short while, Leon Washington to show the younger players the way.
FOXBORO – It took Jeremy Gallon a month to finally get on the practice field with his teammates.
FOXBORO — It's been three years since Brian Hoyer was a member of the Patriots, but that doesn't mean his former teammates have stopped rooting for him.When the Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday...
FOXBORO — Malcolm Butler was lost. He was without a college, without football and unsure what was next.
FOXBORO - It's typically in the third preseason game where Tom Brady and the Patriots starters will get the most playing time during training camp. By the time the final and fourth game rolls around, most of the first-teamers are getting a night off.
FOXBORO – Brandon Browner admits that he wasn't sure what to expect when he signed with New England. After playing for Pete Carroll and the free-speaking Seattle Seahawks, signing with the Bill Belichick-tightly ran Patriots is probably a lot different.
FOXBORO – It's been three years since Brian Hoyer was a member of the Patriots, but that doesn't mean his former teammates have stopped rooting for him.
FOXBORO – Wednesday marked the Patriots final practice before they welcome the Carolina Panthers to Gillette Stadium on Friday and once again, the team's attendance stayed the same.
NEW YORK (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are the first U.S. sports franchise to top $3 billion in value.
FOXBORO — Brandon LaFell has been in New England since the team's offseason workouts this spring, but he's still not settled in.In fact, his comfort zone remains 824 miles away from Foxboro, at his Charlotte,...
FOXBORO –In less than two weeks, training camp will be over and the Patriots will begin their 2014 season – and Darrelle Revis can't wait.
FOXBORO – It didn't take Justin Jones long to learn about the professional side of the NFL. After getting released from the Patriots on Aug. 10, he was re-signed eight days later.
FOXBORO – There weren't any surprises as the Patriots took the field for their first closed practice of the season on Tuesday.
FOXBORO – After missing last week's joint practices with Philadelphia and then that second preseason game against the Eagles, Jerod Mayo returned to practice this week.The linebacker was on the field Monday, but it remains to be seen if he'll play on Friday against Carolina.
FOXBORO – When asked how it felt being away from football activities over the better part of the last 10 months, Dominique Easley said he felt like a "lost kid."
FOXBORO – When Stevan Ridley hit the ground, only to have Philadelphia Eagles safety Earl Wolff rip the ball from his hands, the play was close. It looked like the running back's knee was down, but since James Develin recovered the ball there was no need to review.
FOXBORO – When Rob Gronkowski stepped out on the Gillette Stadium practice fields on Monday, he entered the huddle with Tom Brady during full-team drills for the first time this year. As the All-Pro tight end stepped to the line of scrimmage during Brady's fourth and final set of 11-on-11's, it didn't take the quarterback long to look his way.
FOXBORO – The Patriots overall team health took a giant step in the right direction on Monday.
BOSTON (AP) - The fiancee of former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is seeking to have perjury charges dismissed.
The NFL's first cut-down day is right around the corner as teams will reduce their rosters from 90 players to 75 prior to 4 p.m. on Aug. 26. Players on the bubble have two games left to prove their worth before the final cut on Aug. 30. There have been plenty of surprises so far in camp and there are likely to be some more over the next two weeks.
It's been a long time since there was any sort of quarterback controversy in Foxboro, but after two preseason games the Patriots find themselves in the midst of one.
After getting released seven days ago, Justin Jones has re-signed with the Patriots.
And I always thought Flag Day was in June.
One of the most intriguing position battles for the Pats this summer has been on the offensive line. On Friday, Jordan Devey kept his name in the conversation.
When Stevan Ridley fumbled in the second quarter on Friday, it appeared that the running back's knee was down — but in the end that might not matter.
Sometimes in football, things aren't always as they seem.
FOXBORO — With each passing week, James Develin's days as a defensive lineman at Brown University become more and more forgettable.Instead of plugging holes, Develin began his career as a tough-guy fullback...
FOXBORO — From the very first series on Friday night at Gillette Stadium, coach Bill Belichick was treated to a mixture of positive and stomach-churning plays. Good thing it's only August.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick this week called the Eagles' up-tempo offense "explosive, " citing Philly's ability to make big plays both running and passing the ball.

Sarratt wedding venue owners treated 'unfairly' by district council (From Watford Observer)

Sarratt wedding venue owners treated 'unfairly' by district council
4:50pm Thursday 5th June 2014 in News By Kathryn Snowdon, Senior Reporter
The owners of a Sarratt estate used for weddings have criticised the way they have been treated by Three Rivers after an application to keep a marquee, which can house more than 300 people, was rejected.
Years of feuding with the district council have left owners of the Micklefield Hall, Anna and Jamie Rankin, feeling despondent and unfairly treated.
The pair have been running events from the 350-acre Sarratt Road estate for 15 years.
In 2002, the couple began talks with the council about saving the estate's Tithe Barn, which dates back to the 16th century.
Applications to renovate the dilapidated barn were thrown out. Consequently, the couple took the case to appeal.
In 2009 the pair was successful and won the public inquiry, including costs against the council.
However, a condition was put in place that the marquee, which has been used for weddings, would have to be taken down - much to the couple's annoyance.
Mr Ranking said he and his wife have encountered obstacles at every turn in their discussions with the council.
He added: "The council has just stood in our way every time and I just really don't know why.
"We have received no complaints in the past five years and the reason we've had the application turned down was nothing to do with noise or traffic, it was adverse impact on the Green Belt.
"What really grates is that there are farms nearby which put these great big marquees up every weekend and play music which goes straight across the area. It's not fair.
"We believe the decisions the council has made are misplaced and it's a shame and pity. I really think they need more balance in their decision making."
Weddings are not the only events held at the venue, many charities also hold functions there free-of-charge.
Kevin Snow, spokesman for Three Rivers, said the planning permission which was granted in 2009 at appeal sought to limit the impact of the use on the Green Belt and nearby residents by restricting the number of events to no more than 57 days a year with a maximum of 200 guests in the barn.
Currently, wedding receptions and events can be held in the marquee for 28 days a year with up to 320 people.
However, Mrs Rankin said they sometimes would require more space for larger weddings, particularly Jewish and Asian occasions which are traditionally bigger affairs.
Mr Snow said: "We need to balance the interests of local businesses alongside the interests of their neighbours and impact on local amenities and the Green Belt.
"The conditions were placed by the independent planning inspectorate. The district council refused an application last year to remove previous conditions which limited temporary events outside of the barn.
"We refused this for the same reasons above as highlighted by the planning inspectorate in 2009 at appeal."

An example was last autumn when we approached our home at around 9.30PM we were within 20 yards of the entrance to our Close when we were blocked by total traffic gridlock caused by SIX huge trucks belonging to a TV company totally filling our road when the were apparently lost trying to access Micklefield Hall site. We had to wait for over an HOUR during which time I personally suffered much verbal abuse from other road users and spent time advising others how they might escape via Loudwater Lane to the Rickmansworth Road.
It appears that they were given faulty directions and all 6 vehicles followed like sheep into a residential cul-de-sac!
Greater use of Micklefield Hall for events such as these larger weddings can only lead to similar incidents.

On November 8, I attended the Greater Lehigh Valley (Pa.) Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and Awards in Stabler Arena at Lehigh University. The Lehigh Chamber has 5,000 members and is the largest Chamber of Commerce in the country. There were more than 1,000 people attending.
U.S. Congressman Charlie Dent introduced the featured speaker, John McGlade, chairman, president and CEO of Air Products. Congressman Dent also referenced SkillsUSA and CTE in his introduction and played the CBS Evening News clip where John talked about his concern for America's future workforce. John's topic was "The Lehigh Valley's Highly Skilled Workforce" and he told the audience "Air Products will hire 600 people next year and they'll all be in technical jobs." Time and again, John referenced the technical schools in the valley and he encouraged his listeners to "get involved with CTE and SkillsUSA." He said he is concerned about the workforce, but he can be hopeful when he thinks about SkillsUSA. Melinda Stumpf of the SkillsUSA Lehigh Valley Industry Council was delighted by the speech and the number of businesses John was able to reach with his message.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - New statistics are shining a negative light on Kentucky when it comes to one type of cancer. For 2013, the state ranked number one in the nation for colon cancer incidence.
Kentucky leads the country in smoking and ranks high for diabetes, two major contributors to cancer. When it comes to colon cancer, one local doctor said 40 is the new 50.
In good spirits and next to his 8-year-old son Max, Louisville attorney Dino Camomot showed us pictures in an album called "The Year that Sucked."
Almost two years ago doctors discovered Camomot had colon cancer, stage 4. At just 44 years old the cancer had already spread to his liver.
"I'm surprised that I didn't just curl up in a ball and die," Camomot said.
Dr. Whitney Jones founded the Colon Cancer Prevention Project. His mission is to prevent cancer deaths and to get people in their forties, rather than their fifties, to start asking their doctors questions about colon cancer.
"If you are in your 40s and even before, you need to understand that you're not too young to develop colon cancer," Dr. Jones said.
Researchers with the Mayo Clinic found colon cancer is on the top 10 list that affect people between the ages of 20 to 49. He said to pay attention to your body, not your age.
"Don't attribute things such as rectal bleeding, or abdominal pain or weight loss to things like hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome or dietary or digestive issues," Dr. Jones said.
According to the Colon Cancer Prevention Project, Kentucky has both the highest rate of new cancers and the highest death rate for all cancers combined in the United States. After two surgeries and a shorter colon, Camomot is cancer free and doesn't dwell.
"You just have to keep going on and doing what you do and live life," he said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jones is not advocating for earlier screenings than currently recommended, but more so for people to be aware of their family history and symptoms.
Dr. Jones said people don't address possible signs of colon cancer because they are not yet 50. And that he said, can be a fatal mistake.

My husband and I took this cruise to get away.
Prior to the voyage, we purchased two wine packages and a dinner at Todd English Restaurant. I wanted to surprise my husband with the dinner and the card that was presented in the cabin with my sentiments had his name spelled wrong. This was just the beginning....
The wine steward believed he presented us with a coupon book that we could use to redeem for a bottle of wine. I do think this is a tacky procedure in the age of computers. We did not recall receiving the coupon book. When we went to Todd English it took 40 minutes for the respective sommeliers to sort it out and present us with a glass of wine. In addition, the maitre'd had never (or said he had never) seen a coupon presented for a dinner at that restaurant. What was supposed to be a treat was stressful and unpleasant.
The balcony room was tired looking. The phone was on a very short cord at the desk which was inconvenient. The robes appeared frayed and should be replaced. The balcony furniture is also tired looking.
We ate in the Britannia Restaurant. The food was not good. The service was fine but the waiters appeared stressed and perhaps overworked.
Oh, there was a norovirus alert which, in reaction to, the cruise line reduced some services. The services reduced seemed to be the nonrevenue producing ones, such as nuts and canapes in the lounges before dinner. The casino was kept open and the bars still served drinks. While the alert was in effect, some things changed from night to night. For example, some nights the milk was left on the table at dinner for coffee and some nights it was not. Same with the salt and pepper shakers. The definition of a red alert seemed fluid.
I found this ship to be like Carnival but with a British accent.
The people we met on the ship were lovely.
We had booked two shore excursions, both bicycle riding. The one on Bar Harbor was cancelled due to foggy conditions and tender safety issues. The one in Quebec went on. We bicycled to the (sp?) Montmercy Falls about 7 - 8 miles outside of Quebec and back. The falls are lovely and beautiful to see up close. The ride was awful - it was along a major highway all the way plus in the center of Quebec. The atmosphere included waste management plants and tawdry motels. I was so happy to see Quebec on the way back. When we reached the bicycle shop there was no bus to take us back to the ship. We walked to the Explorer of the Seas and a bus from there finally returned us to the QM2 just before she was set to leave.
I feel there is nothing to recommend this ship.

FGCU's Busy Week Starts With USF and Miami
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU baseball team will begin a busy week of games by taking on a couple of in-state rivals when USF visits Swanson Stadium on Tuesday before the Eagles travel east to take on Miami Wednesday evening at Alex Rodriguez Park.
FGCU is coming off an Atlantic Sun home series sweep of Campbell this past weekend in which it out-scored the Camels, 26-7. The Eagles are currently 11-9 overall heading into the pair of games against BCS Conference opponents.
The weekend seemed to spark the FGCU offensive, as it equaled a season-high for runs scored (10) in back-to-back games to close the series. Senior Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla./North Port HS/Pasco-Hernando CC) continues to pace the Blue and Green at the dish with a .354 batting average, eight doubles, four home runs and 22 RBI. With his five multi-hit games in his last seven contests, junior Javi Sujo (Miami, Fla./Miami Sunset HS/Middle Georgia College) has raised his batting average to .345 (19-55). Senior Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla./Palm Beach Central HS) became the third current Eagle to eclipse 200 career hits last weekend when he drilled a three-run home run over the left field wall – his program leading 37th round-tripper.
As a team, FGCU has eight games with double figure hits and an extra-base hit in all 20 contests. On the flipside, the pitching staff has limited its last four opponents to less than 10 hits. The Eagles' hurlers have struck out an impressive 187 batters over 191 innings of work.
The meeting against the visiting Bulls on Tuesday will be the second of the young season for the Eagles, who downed USF 3-2 on March 2. FGCU owns a 4-1 record all-time against USF, including a 1-1 mark at Swanson Stadium.
USF is coming off a four-game series split with Bethune-Cookman. USF limited Bethune to just two runs over the final two games, as the Bulls' pitching staff sports an ERA of 3.45.
The trip to Coral Gables to take on Miami will be the first of two over the next few weeks for the Eagles, as the two teams will meet three times this year. The final clash will come at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers on Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m.
After starting 5-8 to open the season, Miami has put together seven straight wins to move to 12-7. With their 6-0 start to the ACC season that featured sweeps of Virginia Tech and at Wake Forest, the Hurricanes came in at No. 29 in this week's Collegiate Baseball Top 30 poll.
First pitch on Tuesday between FGCU and USF is slated for 6:30 p.m.
Live stats, in-game twitter (@FGCUBaseball), Cover It Live chat, results and recaps from both contests will be available at www.FGCUAthletics.com.

This really has nothing to do with Mike Morse's injury, but one of my favorite pieces of baseball errata is that Michael Morse was a shortstop. Not in A-ball like a bunch of players, but in the major leagues. He started 50 games at shortstop in the major leagues. Morse is 8'2" and 290 lbs. How was this not a bigger deal at the time?
Anyway, he was eventually moved to the outfield, and he had a fantastic season with the Nationals last year while splitting time between left and first, signing a two-year contract over the offseason. But his 2012 will be delayed because of lat injury serious and stubborn enough to put him on the disabled list to start the season.
The injury shouldn't cause him to miss weeks and weeks considering that Morse was optimistic for a return by Opening Day. With the Nationals spending money and prospects in an effort to win this year, they're not going to push Morse for the first week of the season just to lose him to something lingering in September.

University of Minnesota basketball player Trevor Mbakwe avoided jail time Friday, but was given more punishment for violating terms of his probation.
Mbakwe is on probation in Florida after pleading guilty to an assault charge three years ago. He's also accused of driving drunk in July.
A judge in Miami ordered Mbakwe to attend alcohol abuse meetings at least three times per week. He was also ordered to have no contact with the assault victim and will be on probation for two more years from today's date.
This is Mbakwe's final season with the Gophers after being granted a 6th year of eligibility for medical hardship.

Full Report: Rare Aston Martin up for sale
Many of us like to take on a project now and again, but this renovation job may be in a different league.
An Aston Martin that was left in a garage in Scotland for thirty years has been put on the market after being spotted by a restoration firm from County Durham.
The car might not have an engine, have only one headlamp and a rusting shell, but as one of only 15 1949 Aston Martins built, it is expected to sell for nearly £100,000.
Watch the full report from Kenny Toal below.

DALTON, Ga. (AP) - A spokesman for Gov. Nathan Deal says a carpet manufacturing company will open two plants in northwest Georgia and create about 2,400 jobs.
Deal's spokesman Brian Robinson confirmed Wednesday that Engineered Floors will build plants in Whitfield and Murray counties. The development, first reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV, is expected to be finalized Wednesday. Robinson says the governor plans to release more information later in the day.
The Dalton area - about 90 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta - is internationally known as a carpet manufacturing hub and lost tens of thousands of jobs when the housing market stalled.
Engineered Floors is based in Calhoun, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution (http://bit.ly/10sAIqE) reports the company's founder Bob Shaw is expected to invest about $450 million in the new plants.

celebrate our anniversary, and as always it was excellent! Table decorated with hearts, champagne toast, anniversary dessert and a rose to end the night. Excellent food and service. Will return!"

We really like to come back to the
Capital Grille for special occasions. We were finally able to get there with our two sons and enjoy the great menu and the wonderful wine selection. The staff was very helpful and cognizant of our theater plans. The food came quickly yet we never felt rushed. A super experience whenever we go."

Lobster bisque had more lobster
than I have ever had and included sherry. Beef Filet Oscar was very generous with the crab and asparagus"
Dined on 8/28/2014
Food was good. Service from our
waiter was very good. The problem was the hostess seated my wife and I at a table directly in front of the kitchen. We asked to move. We were met with some attitude and told no at first because they were full. Then we were given a table that was on the end of a another table of 10 people. It was not a good dining experience because of the poor hostess service. We attended Manny's the following night and it was spectacular in every aspect."

Eating at Capital Grille is always
a treat! Food, service, decor and cocktails - perfect every time. Our server was fun as well as attentive and we had a great evening pre-theater dinner."

I took my daughter here for her
14th birthday.I'm a single mother from canada with not a lot of money, but I saved up. I was a little nervous of the treatment we would get being visibly from a lower class than most there, and my daughter with pink hair and piercings, but everyone was great! The staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was soooo good, the best we have ever had, ever! I had the lobster topped steak, my daughter had the fillet mignon, both cooked to perfection. The potatoes au gratin were so so good too. The meal was finished with a complimentary birthday dessert, 2 actually, with happy birthday written in chocolate between them. Perfect dinner, leftovers for breakfast too lol. 100% going back!"
Dined on 8/21/2014
The food is consistently fabulous
every time we dine here!"
Dined on 8/21/2014
Capital Grille never disappoints!
Food, service and ambience are always of high quality and now they have added even more deliciousness with their lobster appetizer and shaved brussel sprout salad - both were excellelent. Capital Grille is always my first choice when dining downtown Mpls."
Dined on 8/21/2014
Service is always top notch at
Capital Grill. They messed up our lobster appetizer, so they brought us 2 lobster appetizers! Our waiter was slammed but still able to take excellent care of us. This has become a favorite stop of mine whenever visiting the MSP area. Never have they disappointed me."
Dined on 8/20/2014
Food and service were great. Went
for wedding anniversary and was not dissappointed. Table behind us was a little noisey but otherwise was excellet."

Expensive, yes. Worth it? No
question. This restaurant staff will make sure your vista is perfect and you are wowed both by the food and the service."
Dined on 8/19/2014
Lauren and Hung are friendly, fun,
attentive wait staff. Love the lavosh and lobster bisque. Hugh chunks of lobster in bisque, calamari crisp, risotto creamy good, scallops seared to perfection, desserts taste as good as they look. Our group comes every year for our joint birthday lunch celebration because we like the food (some keep ordering the same thing every year) and wait staff, and enjoy the special attention we receive. Relaxing, great food, filling."

We orginally had dinner
reservation around 7 for a Saturday night quiet dinner with friends. But we decided to go to the Twins baseball game. After the game we were really hunger so we made late reservations (10:30). So we drove downtown and went to the Capital Grille. We were not suprised because we had been told about the great food and service, the Grille was spot on. We were one of the few remaining diners at the restuarant, but the service did not miss a beat, and the food was fresh and delicious. The Capital Grille exceeded expectations. The price of the meal was as expected for the great service and food."
Dined on 8/16/2014
My husband and I would consider
ourselves foodies and love trying new foods and new restaurants. But when we feel like a great steak with the awesome classic "potato and vegetable" side, we always come here. There's just something about the Capital Grille that makes you feel so comfortable, yet feels like a fancy/special night out. We always request our favorite server, Teresa, when making reservations and she is always a gem to see and talk to. Capital Grille is just the perfect place for a special night out when you feel like your classic meat and potatoes and it's charming staff (especially Teresa). Will definitely be back!"

No complaints from our party of
10. All food was fantastic, including lobster mac, shrimp appetizer, lobster bisque soup, scallops, all steaks were amazing (I had a filet special with blue cheese). It's a great place for a group to share many family style dishes. The service was great."

We went for our 38th anniversary.
The staff were great, especially our server, Jeff, who took great care of us and made our celebration even better. The dry aged steak (32 day dry aged bone in fillet) was they best steak I have ever had. Every item we had was prepared very well and was delicious."

From arrival to departure, The
Capital Grille exceeded our expectations. Our service was flawless and the food was exceptional. Out of my four days in MN, the dinner at The Capital Grille was the highlight of the entire trip."

We had a wonderful dinner. We
started out with the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella. Then we split the tenderloin steak and butter poached lobster tail dinner with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everything was perfectly cooked and very flavorful. They start you off with a wonderful bread basket and pat of fresh butter with salt sprinkled on it. We also split a half bottle of Pinot. What really made The Captial Grille stand apart was the OUTSTANDING service of our waitress. She was knowledgeable and incredibly attentive without hovering. I will ask for her again next time I book my reservations. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next special occasion!"

Everything about the meal was
outstanding. The martinis, the apps, the steaks, the sides, and the wine. The lobster Mac n cheese side was amazing. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable. The meals are pricey, but worth it."

The Generous Pour was exactly
that, don't skip it -- lovely wines and more than a "tasting". We were greeted with complimentary champagne and were also treated to a gorgeous dessert. Dinner was perfect. We've been before and have been impressed, but not this impressed. Thank you Capital Grille!"
Dined on 8/2/2014
The food was very, very good.
However, we enjoyed our Filets at another top-rated steak restaurant in Mpls. better. We also like the atmosphere (quieter and romantic). In addition, our waiter was patient and we didn't feel rushed in any way at our top pick restaurant. It was extremely busy and loud in the isle by our booth at Capital - people running back and forth during our entire dinner. I am certain that we will stick with our fav steak restaurant for now - giving Capital Grille a 2nd or 3rd place for us."

We dined at the Capital Grille
before attending the McCartney concert. We had made reservations as soon as we got the concert tickets. It made a memorable evening even more special."
Dined on 8/2/2014
I made the reservation weeks in
advance. We arrived on time and were told that our table wasn't ready. We waited 30 minutes in a crowded, loud bar area during this time. No offer of drinks, no waitress to even order drinks. I eventually went to the servers station at the bar to order drinks for our group. 10 minutes later we got our drinks - one was incorrect. We finally got to our table. Our usual waitress was there and she was excellent. If it had not been for her, it would have been a poor, 1 star, rating for Capital Grille. We ordered, only to find out that they were completely out of lobsters. The menu is limited enough; when you run out of a main dish, there's a problem. There was no apology, no comment, nothing. Not worth the $$$$."
Dined on 8/1/2014
We had a wonderful experience at
Capital Grille. The restaurant was full and energetic, the server was professional and friendly, and the food was delicious! The Chilean Sea Bass was outstanding, and the lobster Mac 'N' Cheese was so good!"

I was there with a small group for
a busienss dinner. Been there before and had stake. This time we decided for alternatives - salad, pasta, ice cream etc. Appetizers and foodt stellar. Seen much much better. So, if you don't plan to have steak, go to a different place. Ambiance is very nice though, elegant and stately. Great service."

Another great experience at
Capital Grille. The food was amazing with the standout being the filet...was the most flavorful filet I've ever tasted! Only miss with the food was the fried breaded lobster, which was great but seemed very overpriced for the serving size. The annual Generous Wine Pour was happening during our visit which is a great deal for wine lovers. I liked 4 of the 7 wines and loved 2 of them. The beauty of this event is you can sample all 7 wines and have unlimited refills of the ones you really like, all for $25...great deal."

I have been to Capital Grille many

We went to The Capital Grill

What a wonderful dining
experience. The Capital Burger was amazing and their homemade grapefruit soda was very refreshing.I would definitely recommend this place for lunch, dinner, or for drinks. I could see that the had quite a substantial wine selection."
Dined on 7/25/2014
Never being to Capital Grille and
hearing so many good things, my expectations were high. I think going during Restaurant Week was the issue as I feel the servers were over whelmed and not "serving" the guests as they may have. Our server Tom was poor, having very little personality, and not connecting with us at all. I stated that I was gluten and dairy free and felt confident that I would be served well until my salad came with cheese. The filet that I ordered was a "10' delicious, however the asparagus was pretty much raw. A restaurant of this caliber should have dished out way better service than we received - especially since it was Restaurant week!"
Dined on 7/24/2014
Capital Grill is a classic. Great
for a lunch or dinner that requires a deal to get done or just catching up with a good buddy."

They sprinkled the tale with
birthday confetti and wrote me a nice card. I felt special going for my birthday lunch with my co-workers. The food and service was excellent. We had never had lunch there before. We will be back!"

So here's a little bit of glamour to start your week after the last long weekend of the summer.
Jean-Jacques Annaud, the director of fare such as "The Bear," "Enemy At The Gates" and "Seven Years In Tibet" is the latest in a long line of directors to go down the fashion route, and his latest endeavour is making Charlize Theron look even more glamorous in a new ad for the fragrance Dior J'Adore. The spot features Theron rushing to the runway and as she gets ready to strut her stuff folks like Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe nod in approval. Nothing out of the ordinary here, but as far as flashy, expensive-looking fashion ads go, it's not bad.
As for Annaud, he's currently readying his next film "Black Gold." Starring Antonio Banderas, Tahar Rahim, Freida Pinto, Mark Strong and Riz Ahmed, the film chronicles a young man torn between his father and father-in-law at the start of the 1930s oil boom in the Middle East. No word yet on a release date, but we presume it will hit the festival circuit soon. Meanwhile, Theron will be seen in Jason Reitman's "Young Adult" later this year. In the meantime, check out the ad below. [via ONTD]
Barbara Ruth Blacher-Hecht | September 12, 2011 2:23 AM
That is sensational! Ms Theron is breath-taking while the music, finally, suits the pace of the ad. It's fascinating to see the three other extraordinary women (Grace, Marlene & Marilyn) in such a situation - unusual but not unwelcome. M. Annaud had done a fantastic job with this ad & should be very proud - I can't wait to actually see it on TV, hopefully this fall.

|Ball Python
The handsome, sweet tempered Ball Python is one of the most favored and adored pet snakes!
Latest Animal Stories
Lenny - 2008-04-29
I have a young ball python named Patch. Ball pythons are chubby snakes; short and fat and generally quite slow when moving, so they are not likely to scare someone who is afraid of snakes. They are incredibly strong creatures with over 77% of their entire bodies consisting of pure muscle, so they will squeeze very tightly and effortlessly to anything supporting them. Ball pythons often scare their new owners when they refuse to eat for months at a time. This is simply because they are sensitive creatures and they become shy and reclusive when introduced to a new situation. It may take your python a full year to become accustomed to your home, and so he will be quite reluctant to eat. Very seldom will a reptile eat when shedding, so you can speed up the shed by warm baths every couple of days until the snake finally gets rid of his skin. It is always better to feed several small prey items rather than one large one. I suggest offering a live pinky mouse every to every other day. If the snake eats it, he eats it. If not, it can wait a day or two. This is the best way for a snake to eat, as it does wonders for their digestive tract. Studies show that snakes fed this way can top fifty years or more, and even in some cases, outlive their owners! A larger snake can be fed a larger mouse, or more pinkies. Breeding colonies of mice is a great way to get hundreds of mice for under ten dollars, and to keep them for years to come. Ball pythons are extremely sensitive to drastic temperature change, and they can slowly freeze to death even at room temperature! Remember, your body makes heat on its own, but snakes need their environment to make heat for them. This is what "cold-blooded" really means. Have you ever noticed your snake crawling towards appliances, heaters, warm food, or even towards you? They can "see" warm places, and they like to be near them to regulate body temperature. A cold snake will quickly wander to the warmest place it sees to keep itself alive. That's why it's a good idea to turn on a small heater and put a towel next to it whenever your snake gets loose. You can check the towel every couple of hours to see if your buddy is sleeping underneath it. If you let a mouse crawl on the towel, your snake will also be attracted to the tasty smell.
SITE ADMIN: Alter the text as you see fit, post the parts that you like most if you need to make room. Feel free to leave my address on the page, as I enjoy helping inexperienced python owners in their times of need. Feel free to contact me at any time, I'd be more than happy to chat!

Our ball python Jafar has never been aggressive until recently. Recently he has become increasingly aggressive. We have noticed that he seems to be tracking our movements more often and had decided to feed him more frequently but smaller rats. (He was eating a jumbo about every four to six weeks and now is eating a medium rat about every other week) He actually struck my husband's hand (didn't coil and immediately released) during a feeding session. This is something unusual for him. I was wondering if there is any illness or condition that might render Jafar more aggressive and if anyone has any tips or advice. We love our snake but are becoming afraid to take him out. Thanks

My 13 month old ball python's belly has begun to look concave with the sides curling in towards the center of the underbelly. Also she is stargazing and her last shed was difficult. We also noticed that her last bowel movement was extremely smelly. What does all this indicate about her health, and what should we do?

Our 13 month old ball python, Sue Ellen, has been very healthy. However, this month she had a hard time shedding (mostly from the head area) and I realize that she needs more humidity. Now I notice that her underbelly is getting concave at times, and edges curl in towards the center. She always eats well and seems otherwise healthy. What does this mean? Is it an indication of something that is wrong? She also had a bowel movement this week that smelled very rank, which has never happened before. She also seems to stare into space a lot more than she used to, instead of going into her hide where it is warm or crawling around. I took some photos and a short video, so perhaps you know if there is someone I could send it to who can tell if this is something wrong.

I recently took in a friends ball python they could no longer take care of, she said he hadn't eaten in 3 months so the day I got him I went to a reptile store. They gave me a feeder mouse but a few days passed and he refused to eat, it's been almost a month he has not shed or eaten. He hardly comes out of his rock so I checked on him, pulled him out and noticed his eyes are cloudy, what is this, what can I do?

My ball python, Sue Ellen, is about 8 or 9 months old. She eats well, is active and appears very healthy. But a couple of weeks ago we noticed her left eye looked cloudy. We thought she may have scratched it in her habitat because she often stands on her tail trying to get out, then eventually falls back into her log and other rough items that could have scratched her eye. Now it even appears to be swelling and is much bigger than her good eye. Does this indicate an infection, or does it indicate that there is an eye cap stuck there that did not shed properly? I am very concerned about this and wonder what I should do.

I have a ball python that is under a year old. When she came to us she was eating live, I have been trying to get her to eat frozen and it's been very difficult. I've managed to get her to eat one in the last 4 months. She is a small snake but the other day I noticed she looks bloated, her head and the neck just behind her head is normal but then she goes large and I can't believe she is growing due to the fact she hasn't eaten anything.I was going to just go back to feeding her live I feel so bad she hasn't eaten. How long can one go without eating before they actually starve? And does anyone have any idea what could cause what looks to be bloating in her? Robbin Winn Powers is my Facebook if any one could offer any advice and could pm me on Facebook I'd be very thankful.

I have a baby ball python his name is tilly. Last night my boyfriend was holding him, watching tv, and fell asleep. I was sitting on the chair and all of a sudden didnt see him. I leaned to see if he was over me and he wasnt. I guess he was under the chair. And the chair pinched about a little bit above his butt. We were in the vet for 3 hours last night, they said they would have to do xrays but it doesnt freel broke. I can afford the xrays so they gave us medicine to give him, has this happened to anyone else? Will he be okay? :(

When it comes to new babies, doctors say breast is best, but it's not always easy for new moms to stick with it.
In Wednesday's Healthier Me, the Affordable Care Act is giving breastfeeding mothers and their children more support, both financially and emotionally.
There are many health benefits to breastfeeding, and health reform is making it easier for new moms to breastfeed as long as possible; under the Affordable Care Act, breast pumps and consultations about breast feeding are now covered by insurance.
It's a popular improvement in care for moms and new babies and something lactation consultants say is long overdue.
Fran Mosey, Sanford Health Lactation Consultant: "The longer you breastfeed, the better for moms and babies. Since 80% of moms work outside the home, finding support and getting a breast pump helps moms breastfeed for the long haul, and they get the most benefits.
The Affordable Care Act also requires businesses to have a place for employees to pump during work.
