Kemp wants Crystal Palace to get more out trips to the big boys of the Premier League
9:00am Sunday 2nd February 2014 in Crystal Palace By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Crystal Palace go to Arsenal this afternoon looking to get something more out of a game against one of the big names, according to technical coach David Kemp.
The Eagles lost out at Manchester City and Chelsea by just a single goal, and Kemp believes they should have got more out of the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsenal were knocked off the top of the Premier League in mid-week after a 2-2 draw at Southampton.
Manchester City's 5-1 win at Tottenham lifted them above their title contending rivals.
Palace, after a 1-0 win over Hull City on Tuesday night, lay 14th in the table.
Kemp said: "We go to Arsenal with the confidence that comes off the back of consecutive league wins.
"We will set ourselves up to make it difficult for Arsenal, but we need to look to get something out of the game.
"Against the top sides we have played well, but it is time for us to start getting results and some rewards for the good displays."
He added: "Getting back to back wins in the Premier League is very good, there are no easy fixtures in this league.
"But we have to be realistic, we like to think the Premier League is a level playing field but it's not.
"Arsenal have a budget of an established Premier League side, and we are the fresh-faced side with nowhere near their financial clout."

Very pretty little ring.My only criticism was that the site does not give the approximate carat weight ,so I did not know how small it was until it arrived.I would have preferred a little bigger stones,but they are all a lovely bright colour,and is a well made ring.

FGCU Announces Four Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award Finalists
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU Department of Athletics proudly unveiled its four finalists for the prestigious 2011 Eagle Scholar-Athlete Award on Monday. The winner will be announced during the athletic department's annual Senior Send Off and Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, April 26 at the Student Union Ballroom.
The Scholar-Athlete Award is the highest honor FGCU bestows upon a graduating senior student-athlete and recognizes the ability of the winner to combine athletic and academic success (minimum 3.20 grade-point average) with community service. The 2011 Scholar-Athlete Award finalists include baseball player Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla./Palm Beach Central), swimmer Viktoria Hyddmark (Lund, Sweden/Polhemskolah), women's basketball and volleyball player Adrianne McNally (Howell, Mich./Pinckney) and softball player Courtney Platt (Naples, Fla./Gulf Coast).
The ceremony begins at 7 p.m. with the hour-long Senior Send Off program, which is coordinated by the Eagles Council, recognizing the graduating senior student-athletes. For the first time in program history, varsity letters will be bestowed upon the members of the senior class. The Athletics Awards program will immediately follow and include the presentation of the Community Service Award, Most Inspirational Award, the Carl McAloose Spirit Award, Team Spirit Award and the Eagle Scholar-Athlete Award. The Most Outstanding Male & Female Athlete finalists will be announced that evening as well, with the eventual winners determined after the 2010-11 seasons are all complete.
"Each of these four quality individuals epitomizes the definition of Scholar-Athlete. Moreover, they have been culled from an overall tremendous group of senior leaders and contributors throughout their FGCU careers," said FGCU Director of Athletics Ken Kavanagh. "From success in their chosen academic pursuits and their roles as contributors to various community service initiatives to playing lead roles on championship squads, as well as establishing season and career marks and being tabbed multiple times to their respective sports all-conference teams, this quartet of Eagles have certainly left FGCU in better shape than it was before their arrivals."
A left-handed hitter for the three-time Atlantic Sun Regular Season Champion baseball team, Alvarez is a four-year starter and ranks second all-time in career starts with 190. He is a two-time A-Sun All-Conference selection and earned All-Tournament honors in 2010. The West Palm Beach, Fla., native owns a .356 career batting average on the strength of 280 hits which rank second all-time on the strength of 85 multi-hit games. As a junior, Alvarez set a program single-season record for hits with 99 thanks to a .409 batting average. The second baseman has delivered a hit in 157 of 192 career games, while ranking second in the FGCU record book in runs scored (180), seventh in doubles (39) and second in walks (123). Majoring in sports management, Alvarez carries a cumulative 3.40 grade-point average (GPA) into the spring semester. He is a three-time Atlantic Sun Scholar Athlete and Dean's List honoree. Among Alvarez' various community service projects, he has participated in FGCU campus trail clean-ups and student-athlete meet and greets, as well as Pinewoods Reading Days and Toys for Tots.
A four-time Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) honoree, Hyddmark has been part of three straight CCSA champion swimming & diving teams. She owns FGCU records in both the 100 and 200 backstroke and has recorded two NCAA qualifying times. Hyddmark placed first in her three individual events as well as four relay teams in her first year of competition at the conference championship en route to being named the Most Outstanding Swimmer, Most Outstanding Freshman and Rookie of the Year honor. She set the CCSA record in the 200 backstroke in her sophomore season and picked up second-place finishes in the 100 back, 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay. In 2010, she placed second in the 100 and 200 back, while making the NCAA 'B' cut finals. Closing out her career, Hyddmark took first in both the 100 and 200 back and was part of the first-place 200 medley relay team in 2011.
Graduating with a bachelor's of science in biotechnology with a double minor in biology and chemistry, Hyddmark has already been accepted to the Ph.D. program at the University of Florida and carries a GPA of 3.98. The three-time CCSA All-Academic honoree presented a genetics study at the FGCU Annual Research Day in 2009 and then again in 2010, with a study on a plant-based diabetes medication.

She was a member of the 2006-07 women's basketball team that was the Division II national runner-pp, while participating in the WNIT in each of the team's first three years in Division I (2007-10).

Phountain Health was founded on the theory that staying healthy involves balancing the body's pH levels. In addition to bottling pH-balancing alkaline water?avilable for demonstration and soon to be available via delivery?Phountain Health hosts infrared-sauna sessions, which aim to improve circulation and oust toxins, as do the spa's ionic detoxifying footbaths.
Rejuvenation Spa & Laser Services. LLC refines complexions with a variety of technological procedures and beauty treatments. Whereas LED light stimulates collagen to smooth wrinkles and vanquish bacteria, airbrush tans ramp up exterior appeal with physician-approved bronzers. But the staff's services reach deeper than the skin. Muscles afflicted with tension and soreness find amelioration under the alternating strokes of Swedish massage and deep tissue's therapeutic cross-grain strokes.
More than 30 years after its inception, Cactus Salon & Spa and its team of continually educated stylists have not lost their edge?they earned the Long Island Press's designation as Best Hair Salon and Best Day Spa in 2011 and 2012. It's not surprising, then, that the salon has enjoyed such impressive growth over the years, with more than two dozen separate spa and salon locations.
Although hair is still the focus?stylists craft 'dos that reflect everyday ease or fashion-forward thinking?the repertoire has expanded to include everything from nail treatments and massages to permanent cosmetics and laser services. Since the roster is so broad, many clients take advantage of Cactus Club memberships, which give them the flexibility to try multiple services and products by deactivating the force fields between treatment rooms and granting a 33% discount on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Although The Goddess Spa resides inside Grand Central Hair Salon, its staff moves beyond coifs to address a whole different spectrum of cosmetic concerns. The aestheticians help rejuvenate skin using everything from ultrasound therapy to specialized anti-aging serums. These treatments aim to conceal imperfections typically caused by acne scars, dead skin cells, and chain-mail pillowcases. Peels gently resurface the topmost epidermal layers without abrasive acids, and the body wraps' seaweed-based herbal gel leaves skin feeling soft and nourished.
Although the number of Angel Tips locations hovers around 60, there's one thing you can count on at each of its salons: knowledgeable staff. That's because every nail tech, massage therapist, and aesthetician learns the art of beautification at Angel's Tips' training center in Stamford, Connecticut. During mani-pedis, they dole out luxurious add-ons such as paraffin wax and hot-stone massage. They deeply cleanse skin during facials to reveal brighter, more even complexions, and rejuvenate bodies with tropical body scrubs and Vichy showers.
A chandelier dangles over natural wood floors, adding a touch of glamour to the soothing confines of LaCole Salon & Spa. With relaxing services to match its tranquil setting, LaCole was named one of Long Island's best day spas by Long Island Press readers in 2012. The peppermint-sea-twist body wrap, for instance, boosts circulation and quells achy muscles with a combination of fresh seaweed and aromatic triple mint. The staff also performs facials, deep-tissue massages, waxing, and body polishes, which are popular among tin men tired of strange looks at the car wash. Long Island Press readers also had flattering things to say about the staff's hairstyling skills, listing LaCole among the area's best hair salons in 2011. Stylists beautify tresses with everything from routine cuts and color touchups, to Brazilian blowouts and wedding-day styles for brides-to-be.

The Clark County coroner's office said an inmate asphyxiated due to police restraint methods during a reported struggled with officers earlier this year.
According to the coroner's office Thursday, 38-year-old Luis Solano's death stemmed from complications of positional asphyxia due to police restraint procedures. Medical examiners also ruled renal failure as a significant factor in Solano's death.
The coroner's office ruled his manner of death as a homicide.
Las Vegas Metro police said Solano was being uncooperative with officers while at Clark County Detention Center on Feb. 25.
Police said after the struggle that lasted three minutes, officers observed he was unconscious and had difficulty breathing.
Solano was transported to University Medical Center, where he was treated until he died on March 6.
According to Metro, Solano was booked on charges of trafficking cocaine and possession of marijuana with the intent to sell, among other counts.
Police identified the officers involved in the restraining of Solano as David Aspiazu, Bradley Temple, Patrick Gray and Eugene Dixon. They were placed on paid administrative leave.

Says stimulus money went to buy electric cars from Finland as a payback to Obama supporters.
" 'Obamacare' puts the federal government between you and your doctor."
Says Dow Chemical decided to build a plant in Saudi Arabia rather than Oklahoma due to the impact of environmental regulations on the supply of natural gas.

Says Barack Obama "is the only president to ever cut $500 billion from Medicare."

Meyer, Stratton sworn in to third terms
Ken Meyer and Steve Stratton were sworn in Thursday, both to their third four-year terms as Scotts Bluff County Commissioners. Both men say they decided to run again because they enjoy public service and thanked the voters for supporting them.
Meyer noted a number of the board members have been serving together for awhile and their ability to work together is helping the county.
Stratton said being very accessible allows the commissioners to rapidly address problems that do come up.
Stratton emphasized it is important the rural citizens have a voice on the board, and that's what he tries to provide.
District Judge Leo Dobrovolny conducted the ceremony, which contrary to many years simply involved the two commissioners, the judge and County Clerk Vera Dulaney.

Germany's Viktoria Rebensburg, who had never won a major ski race before, surprised everyone on Thursday by winning gold in Women's Giant Slalom, the country's first medal in the event in 1956.
The weather-interrupted event was completed Thursday morning after heavy fog forced a postponement of the second run. Rebensburg's total time of 2:27.11 was just good enough for gold, narrowly edging Slovenia's Tina Maze by only 0.04 seconds. Austria's Elisabeth Goergl won bronze, her second such medal of the games.
American Julia Mancuso, the defending gold medalist, was fast, just not fast enough. She skied the third-best time in the second run, but it wasn't quick enough to make up for a poor performance in Wednesday's first run, which she was forced to restart because teammate Lindsey Vonn had fallen and was still on the course. Mancuso ended up eighth overall, ending her 2010 Winter Games in a disappointing fashion.
"I felt I was able to put down a really good second run today," she said. "It just wasn't enough. ... I was pretty close, but I guess I'll wait for another four years."
Mancuso has opted to skip Friday's Slalom, the final Women's Alpine event. She'll head home having won a pair of silver medals in Vancouver.
After her finish on Thursday, Mancuso sought to ease tensions between her and Vonn.
Vonn said Wednesday she was "hurt" by "some negative things" Mancuso had said about her at these Olympics. That included Mancuso's comments about Vonn drawing a lot of attention from the media and within the U.S. team.
Mancuso sought to diffuse the situation Thursday, saying: "The way that it came across, that it was a media-attention fight or something like that, is just ridiculous."
Friday's Slalom is set to begin at 1:00 p.m. ET. Sweden's Anja Paerson is the defending gold medalist in the event.

Yes, what you may have read about the sound quality of the 4 two-albums-on-one-CD reissues of Guess Who RCA-era albums is true. The sound is not quite up to the standard of original CD reissues. But, you can compensate fairly well with a graphic equalizer or bass and treble controls on your stereo system. (Of course, you probably can't do much about the sound when playing on a portable CD player these days, since some marketing genius decided that bass-boost was the only tone control that anyone needs anymore.) But what about the actual muusic offered here? Well, the first album is "Road Food," the band's suprise comeback hit of 1974. I still find that it is simply the best album they ever did. Every song is quality material. This reissue returns the songs to their original LP sequence, which is something of a plus. (For some reason, the original reissue put the LP side 2 songs first, just as the cassette version did. I suppose that was to draw attention to the top 10 hit "Clap for the Wolfman.") Though the material here is mostly about their adventures as an endlessly touring band, the lyrics are light years ahead of the usual "the road is hell" stuff written for previous albums. This is a band having a good time, and the music reflects it. "Straighten Out" and "Don't You Want Me" (an improvement over the original from "Rockin'") are flat-out joyus fun. You wish that you could be there while it's being committed to tape. If you can't find a copy of the original "Road Food" used somewhere, this is the next best thing. 5 stars for "Road Food." The second LP is their final RCA offering, "Power in the Music." This time the band seems to be getting too pretentious for its own good. Most of the songs are decent material, but Dom Troiano's jazzy guitar just seemed to sterilize the material on the 2 albums that he played on. Yes, he's a good musician, but he just didn't fit in for me. "Rich World, Poor World" and "Power in the Music" always seemed a bit embarrasing to me. They lacked the feeling that the lyrics seemed to be trying to extract from your soul. "Rosanne" (the first single) was half of a great tune, and "When the Band was Singing "Shakin' All Over'" (the second single) has always been an intresting bit of nostalgia, but ultimately falls short of the band's stunning first hit that it refers to. I've always found it telling that the band never performed any songs from the 2 Troiano albums during their various reunion tours later. Only 3 stars for "Power in the Music." But, if you really want to get it (as any true fan would), this is the only place you can get it on CD. By the way, the CD offers the entire package of LP covers and inserts, a plus if you like those kinds of things. Note the covers of the original LP's; they seem to betray their contents. "Road Food" has the band in real rock & roll jeans and t-shirts, while "Power in the Music" shows the band dressed up in the standard slick leisure suits, more akin to disco than rock. Sadly, there is no additional written material with the CD, as previous remastered CD's of Guess Who included.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Star Baby is an undiscovered gem but the real reason to buy this CD is the voice of the original Wolfman Jack on "Clap for the Wolfman". Burton Cummings is an instantly recognizable voice of Rock and Roll, and the Wolfman is an instantly recogizable voice of radio. Put the two together and the nostalgia just comes in waves. Now if I could just find my old letter jacket and a copy of American Graffiti.
This CD is very good, despite mixing two works by Guess from distinct seasons. The formation of the Group is completely different.
But the sound is remixed in a good manner and I think that the real Guess Who fans will like it very much.
Highly recommneded.
The pairing of these albums has nothing to do with each other aside from the fact that they would fit on a single disc. Most of the tracks on Road Food lack bass, and all of them suffer from too much compression. Burton Cummings' lead vocals are mixed too low on "Attila's Blues" and "Don't You Want Me." "One Way Road to Hell" fades out early. "Pleasin' for Reason" and the title track have too much bass, and the latter fades out slightly early.Power in the Music doesn't fare any better. The entire album (especially the first half) is compressed. The high end is boosted a bit on "Down and Out Woman." The end vocals on "Dreams" are buried in the mix, and Bill Wallace's intricate bass work is now lost in the mix. Cummings' spoken word parts in "Rich World, Poor World" are buried as well. One of the worst jobs on any of the tracks is on "Rosanne," when the intro is actually faded in. The title track (which is incorrectly listed as "Shopping Bag Lady" in the lyrics) has dropouts at 6:12 and 6:21 into the song.
It's hard to quibble with these Guess Who CD releases. Road Food and Power In the Music are two of their later releases, featuring some excellent tracks such as "Road Food", "Clap For The Wolfman", "Star Baby" and "When The Band Was Singing Shakin' All Over". The real value lies in the album tracks, in which there are some excellent finds for the uninitiated. Both these albums were either unavailable or impossible to find in CD version before, so it's great to see these come out. Next up, when are they ever going to release the lost album "The Way They Were" on CD?

Serenity found in the beauty of Worcestershire's countryside
the history of this former monastery standing within sight of the Malvern Hills.
The inspiration for many literary, musical and
artistic legends (Elgar, Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, Auden, William
Langland), Worcestershire and specifically where the Cotswolds,
Malvern Hills and the Vale of Evesham meet, holds a beauty unique
to England. Stanbrook Abbey is surrounded by acres of this
undulating countryside beneath the beautiful green ridge of the
Malvern Hills. This means that not only is Stanbrook utterly scenic
but easily accessible from Birmingham, Worcester, Cheltenham and
Gloucester. Originally built as a monastery in the Gothic Revival
style during the mid-1800s by Edward Welby Pugin, a major
renovation has turned this remarkable red-bricked beauty into a
matchless venue available for exclusive use, corporate occasions
and weddings. Stanbrook's grounds, function rooms and chapel are
quite frankly, unforgettable and suit various events from product
launches, team-building weekends and meetings to wedding breakfasts
and large banquets. Worth a special note is The Callow Great Hall,
formerly the chapel, now an incredible setting for musical shows
(acoustics are amazing), dinner parties and conferences. The Hall's
pioneering Pugin-designed vaulted ceiling and stained-glass windows
are guaranteed to take guests' breath away. There are currently
five elegant bedrooms in the Georgian Manor House at Stanbrook
Abbey including a suite in a self-contained cottage called the
Brides Manor. Watch out for: 50 more bedrooms, function room
extensions and George's Bar (named after the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge's son) planned for 2014.
An offer simply too good to miss! Book our luxurious Georgian Manor House in the grounds of the magnificent Stanbrook Abbey in Worcestershire for a limited time, at only £995 per night. That's just £99.50 per person!
The Manor House is a real home from home in 21 acres, offering 5 luxuriously furnished bedroom suites (all en-suite), a large kitchen diner with all the modcons, an uber comfy drawing room and its very own country garden with nearby lake and the Malvern Hills within touching distance.
Prepare your own food or spoil yourself by booking a full English breakfast or gourmet dining at the Abbey.
Valid from 1 Jun 2014 to 31 Aug 2014

According to Chief McGrath, 64 patrol officers were found guilty of breaking policy. No one will be fired, and the longest suspension will be 10 days. 19 Action News has learned some officers were cleared.
The names of the officers charged and found guilty of administrative rule violations will not be released until the officers are served with charging letters.

On November 29, 2012, police chased a car with two people from Cleveland to East Cleveland. Officers first saw the car speeding and heard what appeared to be a gunshot coming from it. The driver refused to stop, and officers reported seeing a weapon in the car, but no gun was ever found. The 28-minute chase ended with officers firing 137 shots into the car, killing the driver, Timothy Russell and the passenger, Malissa Williams.

By now, most people have already broken at least a few of their New Year's resolutions, but the NFIB Small Business Legal Center has come up with a list of five resolutions every small-business owner should keep.
In the next few weeks, small-business owners should:
1. Perform an Insurance Check-Up
It's a good idea to schedule an insurance physical each year. If it has been a few years since you've reviewed your coverage check in with your agent this year. Your business and industry probably has unique needs and risks. So to get the best available coverage and rates, work with an insurance broker who knows your business and has experience in your industry.
2. Review Your Employee Policies
Although employee handbooks can be really helpful to employers, having a bad employee handbook can hurt you. Your employee handbook shouldn't describe policies and procedures that you don't follow. It is not a place to describe your dreams for how your business ought to work. It is a place to describe the reality of how your business actually operates.
This year pull out your handbook or policies, sit down, and read them. Then update, edit, and delete as recommended by your attorney. Finally, distribute the revised handbook to your employees and have them sign a form acknowledging receipt. Keep the form in your personnel files. (NFIB members can access the Model Employee Handbook for Small Business.)
3. Check Your Corporate Records
Remember that a corporation is good, but only if you use it properly. Many people pay an attorney up to $1,000 to setup a corporation, then take the corporation's minute book and stick it on a shelf. A corporation will not shield you from personal liability if you do not follow corporate procedures. This year make an appointment with your attorney or accountant to review your corporate binder's contents. Does it contain what you need to prove your business's corporate status?
4. Institute a Good Document Retention Policy
Have you ever wondered how long you should keep a contract, banking statements and employee records? Or are you keeping every single bill, tax return, insurance invoice, and even the parking ticket that you received ten years ago? If you answered "yes", you are not alone. Many business owners are unsure as to how long they should retain business documents and records. A document retention policy that is followed by your employees will benefit your business by promoting efficiency, saving your company valuable computer and physical storage space, and protecting your company in the event of litigation. Given our culture's penchant for lawsuits, you want to protect yourself and having documents provides good coverage. But you needn't keep every piece of paper forever. This year commit to weeding out what you don't need and organizing what you do need. Check with your attorney or tax professional for guidelines on keeping and tossing.
5. Audit Your Form I-9s
The Form I-9 is the form the federal government uses to hold employers accountable for hiring workers legally eligible to work in the United States. The form should be completed on the first day of employment by ALL employees hired since 1986. Yes, the law applies to your sister-in-law and the kid you grew up with if they are employed by your business. This year ensure that you have completed I-9s for all of your employees and that the forms are correctly filled out. Conducting an audit might take some time and effort depending on the number of employees you have, but will save you headaches and possibly penalties should a federal agent knock at your door.

CHILLICOTHE, Ill. -- The decades-old landscape of volunteer, free emergency services in one central Illinois town may be no more.
Friday night, directors of Chillicothe's 'Rescue 33' confirmed they have been notified by Peoria Area EMS, and that their license is being 'permanently suspended' as of 6 a.m. Tuesday morning.
The group was placed on probation a few weeks ago, following complaints concerning lagging response times.
We spoke to Rescue 33 president Ron Hedden via phone.
He says a letter sent by PAEMS details how the group failed to satisfy all the conditions of that probation, including proper staffing and scheduling.
Hedden says they plan to appeal the decision. They have 15 days to do so.
"Our goal is still to provide the free service. It may become tax supported or some other way to fund it because depending on people to make ambulance calls is extremely expensive."
We also spoke via phone to Peoria Area EMS Medical Director Cheryl Colbenson.
She says officials trying to ensure residents have "reliable, consistent, timely and safe EMS service."
Recently Chillicothe officials voted to place a referendum on the November ballot.
If approved it would give the city the authority to implement a tax to help fund 'Rescue 33'.
In the meantime, Chillicothe officials say they are working on a deal with AMT services out of Peoria.
Residents would have to transition from a free ambulance service to a paid one, possibly upwards of $1,000 a trip.

CHICAGO, Ill – Governor Pat Quinn announced his choice for running mate on Friday.
Quinn selected Paul Vallas, former chief of Chicago Public Schools.
Vallas had unsuccessfully ran for Governor in 2007 losing to Rod Blagojevich in the Democratic primary election.
He now serves as the superintendent for Bridgeport Public Schools in Connecticut.
Quinn is the last candidate to choose a lieutenant governor for the 2014 governor's race.
Vallas fills the vacancy on the ticket left when Sheila Simon decided to run for Illinois Comptroller.
Current lieutenant governor Sheila Simon announced earlier this year that she would not seek re-election to the position.
His selection may have been a surprise to Stephanie Neely, the Chicago City Treasurer who'd been interviewed for the job last week.
This is the first year the General Assembly required Illinois' gubernatorial candidates to run with their lieutenant governor picks.

It's all the ingredients for a frustrating day: work complications, issues in traffic, and other people's problems of the day...all of these can lead to a negative frame of mind.
We have all been there. Welcome to the UN-welcoming home routine.
Dr. Joy Miller explains how it happens and offers suggestions on how to make it a happier welcome home.
The unwelcoming home routine can be tough on marriages. Research suggests:
* Relationship satisfaction declines when a partner talks about a bad event
* Those who experiences this event is more likely to argue the partners who share good events with a partner fosters a healthier relationship
* The more positive things that partners share, the higher the likelihood that the other partner will share something positive
What can we do to make the situation better for the whole family?
* Ask everyone to settle in and decompose after work and school (this puts some closure on your day and relaxes your mood)
* Talk after you've had time to decompose and have some time for yourself.
* Practice good listening skills.
* Talk about the good parts of the day with your partner and children after dinner.

Kentucky State Police Offers Guidelines For a Safe Halloween
Date of News Release: 10/24/2006
(FRANKFORT, KY) - Trick-or-treaters, parents, motorists and homeowners all play important roles in keeping Halloween safe, says Kentucky State Police Commissioner Jack Adams.
"Halloween is a cherished tradition for many, but the excitement of the night can cause children to forget to be careful," said Adams. "The major dangers are not from witches and goblins, but rather from falls and pedestrian/car crashes. These tips from the Kentucky State Police can help keep children safe when they are out trick-or-treating."
- Stay alert for increased pedestrian and bicycle traffic on Halloween night.
- Be patient and SLOW DOWN! Give children lots of time to cross the street.
- Excited kids may forget to "stop, look and listen" before crossing the street.
- Drive defensively. Don't assume that a pedestrian will move in a predictable manner. Expect the unexpected.
- Be extra cautious in areas where vehicles are parked along the side of the street. Trick-or-treaters may dart into traffic from between parked cars.
- Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. Also watch for children walking on medians and curbs.
- Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.

- Trick-or-treaters should carry flashlights or "glow sticks."
- Dress children in costumes that are light-colored and clearly visible to motorists.
- Costumes should be no longer than ankle-length to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame.
- Use face paints or make-up rather than masks that could impair vision.
- Wear light-colored clothing or add reflective tape to costumes and trick-or-treat bags.
- Children should wear comfortable, well-fitting, sturdy shoes.
- Children should wear flame-resistant costumes. Avoid paper costumes.
- Younger children should be accompanied by an adult.
- Older children should stay in a group.
- Avoid capes that could pose strangulation risks by getting caught on structures or yard decorations your child may encounter.
- Make sure props such as swords, scythes, pitchforks, spears, wands or knives are flexible (not rigid) with smooth or rounded tips to prevent eye or other injuries if fallen upon.
- If driving children to trick-or-treat, make sure they exit vehicle on the curb side and not the traffic side.
- Instruct your children not to eat any candy until they bring it home and you examine it thoroughly. Inspect commercially wrapped candy for tampering (unusual appearance, discoloration, tiny pinholes or tears in wrappers). Discard anything suspicious. Throw out homemade treats.
- Do not permit children to bicycle, roller-blade or skateboard while wearing a costume.
- Secure identification (name, address, phone number) on or within a child's costume.
- Teach children their home phone number and how to call 9-1-1 if they become lost or have an emergency. (9-1-1 service can be dialed free from any phone).
- Don't assume the right of way when crossing a street. Motorists may have trouble seeing you. Just because one car stops, doesn't mean they all will.
- Be very cautious of strangers. A stranger is someone you don't know who behaves in an inappropriate way. Adults asking children for help can be potentially dangerous.
- Trick-or-treaters should only visit houses that have porch lights turned on.
- Never enter a stranger's house or vehicle. (Parents should stress "vehicle" because some children might think it is OK to approach a van or bus.)
- Stay on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. If no sidewalk is available, walk at the farthest edge of the roadway facing traffic.
- Never cut across yards or use alleys. By crossing a lawn, you might be tripped by clotheslines or lawn furniture.
- Don't run! Always walk when crossing streets or going from house to house.
- Cross streets only at corners and crosswalks. Never cross the street from between parked cars.
- Remove mask or any item restricting eyesight before crossing streets.
- Don't take shortcuts through back alleys or parking lots.
- Cover one side of the street at a time, no crisscrossing.
- Look "left, right, left again" for cars before stepping off the curb to cross a street.
- Don't play near jack-o-lanterns, the candle inside could start a fire.
- Stay with the adult who is leading the group.
- Keep away from open flames or burning candles.
- Try on your costume before Halloween night to make sure it fits properly.
- Stay away from and don't pet animals you don't know.
- Don't eat any treats until you get home.
- Have an adult check all candy before eating it.
- Stay focused on your surroundings. If you feel threatened, go to the nearest store or restaurant and ask to use the phone. Call parents or the police.
- Turn on your porch light. Provide ample outdoor lighting. Check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs.
- Eliminate tripping hazards on your porch, yard and walkway (flowerpots, lawn furniture, lawn decorations, bicycles, children's toys, ladders, garden hoses, dog leashes, support wires, low tree limbs).
- Remove wet leaves from steps and sidewalk.
- Use battery-powered jack-o-lantern candles or light sticks. If candles are used, place pumpkin away from area where children will be walking or standing to prevent accidental fires.
- Keep dried leaves and cornstalks away from flames and heat sources.
- Never drape a fabric ghost or other decoration over a light bulb.
- Make sure that paper or cloth lawn decorations do not blow into a burning candle.
- Do not overload electrical outlets or extension cords with lighting or special effects.
- Avoid lighting sidewalks and driveways with luminaries (small candles inside decorative paper bags). Injuries might result when children are tempted to take a closer look.
- Pets can be frightened by Halloween activities. Restrain them or bring them indoors to protect them from cars or from accidentally hurting trick-or-treaters.

The day before we embarked on the cruise, they took us by rental car to the Kronborg castle, Karen Blixen's museum and just to see the outside of the Louisiana since we didn't have time for we had a dinner engagement with his wonderful Danish friends at the Humblebaek restaurant.
Thanks to Bon V., Ana H., Richard J. and David C. for making this cruise special and also to the waiters and waitresses which I can't name everyone....Eddy and Franjaya from last year's transatlantic and to have a reunion with Lito who we met on the DREAM many years ago. Of course, our room stewardess, Fatima.
We had complimentary dinners to the specialty restaurants,dining at Le Bistro, the Italian restaurant and Moderno.
BERGEN: my husband and I took the Norway in a Nutshell by ourselves by train, bus, cruising the Naerayfjord, a UNESCO site, the Flam train and back to Bergen by train. Am glad we did this instead of just staying in Bergen since our friends have already been on this and wanted us to go by our selves.
Aalesund: we took a special excursion with Hurtigruten's Midnatsol ship to the Hjorundfjord which was to us a once in a lifetime experience and later on to Mt. Aksla before boarding the SUN.
LERWICK: We had a rental car and went on a scenic drive and later ate at Monty's restaurant. The Thai tomato soup and fresh bread were very delicious.
TORSHAVN: It is a beautiful scenic drive to Vestmanna where we boarded a boat to see the bird cliffs. It was nice, even if we didn't see any Puffins.
REYKJAVIK: we did the Golden Ring excursion with Iceland Horizon by public transportation. While in Iceland, we did a helicopter tour to the thermal where we landed and took a walking tour with our pilot. We are so happy that we did this helicopter tour. It was expensive but we divided the cost among the 4 of us. Also did the Blue Lagoon.
GLASGOW: we had a rented car and went to the Royal Yacht Britannia, took a drive through Loch Lomond and we also had dinner with their wonderful Scottish friends.
DUBLIN: our taxi driver was very good. He showed us the sites in Dublin and told us about what we were seeing. We went to the Powerscourt Gardens in Enniskerry which was very beautiful. Our driver was kind to show us where the ATM machine was so we could withdraw euros. Later on, we ate at the Wicklow Heather Restaurand....I highly recommend the Corn Beef dish. I wish I had ordered it because it was soft and delicious. Our last stop was the Glendlough Settlement.
COPENHAGEN: a van at the dock took us to the airport for 280 DKK.
The SUN has an excellent crew and the ports were marvelous. We are very happy with all what we did with our friends and also new friends.

Tahltan (also Nahanni) are a First Nations people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group who live in northern British Columbia around Telegraph Creek, Dease Lake, and Iskut. The Tahltan constitute the fourth division of the Nahane («People of the West»).[1]
Social organization[edit]
As is common in Northwest Coast peoples, Tahltan social organization is founded on matriarchy and intermarriage between two main clan designations. The two main clans of Tahltan people are Tses' Kiya (pronounced Tses-kee-ya) (Crow) and CheYonne (pronounced Chee-oanah) (Wolf). These two clans are further subdivided into four parties:[2]
(1) Tuckclarwaydee (Wolf). Also represented by the brown bear, the eagle, and the killer-whale. This family is credited as being the founders of the Tahltan tribe, originating in the interior near the headwaters of Nags river.
(2) Nanyiee (Wolf). Also represented by the brown bear, the killer-whale, and the shark. This family originated near the headwaters of Taku River, moved towards the ocean and settling among the Stikine Tlingit; and then ascended the Stikine River and became a family of the Tahltan.
(3) Talarkoteen (Wolf). Originating near Peace River in the Interior, these peoples followed Liard River to Dease Lake and then crossed to the Tuya.
(4) Kartchottee (Raven). This family originated in the Interior toward the headwaters of the Taku River. This is the most numerous family of the tribe, also represented by the frog.
Modern Tahltan society constitutes itself as the Tahltan Nation, which comprises the membership and governments of the Tahltan First Nation and Iskut First Nation.
As early as 10,000 years ago, the Tahltan people used obsidian from Mount Edziza to make tools and weapons for trading material. This is the main source of obsidian found in northwestern British Columbia.[3][4]
Coal-bed methane conflict[edit]
Since 2005, a group of elders from the Tahltan people called the Klabona Keepers have watched the road leading through Tahltan territory towards the Sacred headwaters (Klappan Valley) in opposition of development there, specifically a coalbed methane mining project planned by Royal Dutch Shell.[5] The Sacred Headwaters (Klappan Valley) is home to the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Not only do these rivers provide a home to an important salmon stocks, Tahltan oral history holds that these headwaters are the place where the earth was first created and where Talhtan culture began.[5] According to the Klabona Keepers, the valley is used for fishing, hunting and trapping. It is the site of a Tahltan burial ground and a cultural camp where Talhtan youth can learn their culture in the summer.
In 2004, Shell was awarded the oil and gas rights to the Klappan valley, one of British Columbia's largest coal deposits and an estimated 8 trillion cubic feet (230 km3) of methane.[5] That year, Shell drilled three exploratory wells at the headwaters, but in 2005 four Shell employees who arrived at the band office in Iskut were turned away by a group of elders, and no drilling occurred that summer. Non-violent blockades in 2005 and 2006 delayed development efforts and led to the arrests of 13 protesters. Talhtan territory was the site of half of all the mining exploration in British Columbia during 2006.[5] Protests in Smithers have been as large as 600 people. David Suzuki and Wade Davis have both criticized plans for coal-bed methane mining in the headwaters, and in June 2007, 14 different environmental groups sent a joint letter to Shell opposing the project.[5]
Coal-bed methane extraction has already been the subject of protests in the Bulkley Valley, against a project planned near Telkwa, British Columbia. In a unanimous 2003 resolution, the Union of B.C. Municipalities asked for a moratorium on coal-bed methane mining in the province.[5]
Representatives from Shell assert a determination to reach consensus in the community, and note that the elected Tahltan Central Council (TCC) agreed to the exploration.[5] The TCC's Chief Jerry Asp was forced to resign in 2005 after protests from Tahltan members accused him of a conflict of interest because of his involvement with two pro-development organizations.[5]
On December 18th, 2012 it was announced by the B.C. government that Shell will be withdrawing its plans to explore and drill for coalbed methane gas in the Tahltan Territory.[6]
According to the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition, Shell has launched a lawsuit against Talhtan elders for loss of revenue.[5] The Klabona Keepers have filed a counter-suit for failure to consult.
Employment opportunities have come from natural resources development in recent years. Because of various concerns over the lands, the parties involved balance between development and the environment.
Talk of an Alaska-Canada railroad traversing Tahltan lands recurs every so often with feasibility studies being done.
Tahltan is a poorly documented Northern Athabaskan language. Some linguists consider Tahltan to be a language with 3 divergent but mutually intelligible dialects (Mithun 1999). The numbers below are according to Poser (2003):
- Tahltan (approximately 35 speakers)
- Kaska (approximately 400 speakers)
- Tagish (approximately 2 speakers)
Other linguists consider these to be separate languages.

The cruise guide and all the staff on the cruise were the best we have ever met. They catered to every need and want from the time they picked us up at the Shanghai airport to the time they returned us back to the Beijing airport. Each day was filled with an exciting adventure but at no time did we feel like we were just rushing from one site to the next.
My wife an I are looking forward to our next cruise with Viking. We can not imagine using another River cruise company. We are glad we chose Viking to handle our trip to China.
