Formal Night
Today was a much needed day at sea. We got a ton of sun yesterday and are both pretty tired today. We started with breakfast at the solarium, one of the few places we haven't tried yet. It's the healthier eating buffet. The food wasn't particularly good, though to be fair none of the buffet food on this ship is very good. We've been eating a lot at some of the other dining venues and have only visited ...

Tax increase will be felt by all
After seeing the notice in the paper last week for a proposed tax increase in Tunica County, it was stunning to calculate the proposed increase is nearly 30 percent.
Quoting the notice in last week's newspaper,
" For next fiscal year, the Tunica County Board of Supervisors plans to increase your ad valorem tax millage rate by 15.83 mills from 53.74 mills to 69.57 mills. This increase means you will pay more in ad valorem taxes on your home, automobile tag, utilities, business fixtures and equipment and rental real property."

Proceedings magazine is a communication tool for the Coast Guard's Marine Safety & Security Council. Each quarterly magazine focuses on a specific theme of interest to the marine industry.
Issue link: http://uscgproceedings.epubxp.com/i/314313
32 Proceedings Summer 2014 www.uscg.mil/proceedings Since many of the tests are intrusive for passengers, tests that would directly affect passengers were conducted while the ship was in port. The vessel surveyors were extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain each system in great depth to us, sharing priceless insight into their processes. As such, this opportunity greatly expanded our profciency and provided invaluable information. About the authors: LT Kevin Whalen is a 2009 graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. He works as a marine investigator at USCG Sector Miami and previously served as a marine inspector at USCG Sector New York, where he received his foreign passenger vessel examiner qualifcation. LT Whalen holds a B.S. in marine and environmental science and an M.A. in management and lead- ership. Chief Warrant Offcer Van Huysen is a senior marine inspector at USCG Sector New York and is a qualifed foreign passenger vessel examiner. He previously served on two aids to navigations teams at a Coast Guard small boat station and as engineering petty offcer aboard the Coast Guard cutter Crocodile. Authors' note: Special thanks to DNV-GL surveyors, Mr. Christos Aspiotis and Mr. Bharat Madan, and Lloyd's Register surveyors, Mr. C.K. Chan and Mr. E. Buoso. In-Depth Testing Transitional Power Test During our surveys, we witnessed the transitional power test that verifes that the emergency source of power is able main- tain electricity to critical systems during the time between loss of power and when the emergency generators come online. To test for a worst-case power scenario, surveyors purposely prevent the emergency generator from coming online. The Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) requires certain systems to function under transitional power. Additionally, SOLAS mandates that the batteries conform to a maximum voltage drop of less than 12 percent. Surveyors walked through the ship to verify required systems such as water-tight doors operated, internal communications worked properly, navigation lights burned brightly, general alarms sounded, fre alarms activated, sprinkler section valves worked properly, and emergency lighting worked. Water-tight Door Test We also witnessed closing water-tight doors remotely via bridge control. This SOLAS requirement allows the crew to safely close water-tight doors remotely to secure the ship if an emergency arises. Remote Operating Valve Test Lastly, being able to witness testing remote operating valves provided a better understanding of all the systems and how they can be controlled. The system is so advanced that it lets the engineer know if the valve is closing, closed, open, or not fully closed due to an obstruction. It also features a safety redundancy that allows engineers to operate the valve locally during an emergency. (Pictured on previous page.) Views of transitional power battery banks. CWO Keith Macklin, USCG foreign passen- ger vessel examiner, observes watertight door testing. Summer2014_23.indd 32 5/15/14 2:54 PM

Man arrested for knowingly exposing over 30 men to HIV identified as a "gay christian"
Police and a university community outside St. Louis are reeling after the discovery that a male student could have infected over 30 other men after having sex with them in his dorm room. The man, known as Tiger Mandingo on numerous social media sites, used "work out" videos to attract other homosexuals.
The man posted on his facebook page "I have now accepted the fact that I am a Gay Christian". Gay christian theology teaches that homosexuality is accepted by God. It led this man to deceive and seduce others into deadly sexual practices that have left many stunned. This man's beliefs are a sad example of what false religious teachings lead to.
Prosecutors told News 4 they now know more than 30 people could have gotten HIV from a former student at Lindenwood University who allegedly knew he had the deadly disease. He is accused of knowingly giving it to others.
In October, Michael Johnson, 22, was charged with exposing sexual partners to HIV. Police later discovered multiple videos of Johnson having unprotected sex.
They believe those partners were unaware Johnson was HIV positive and that they were being videotaped.
The startling details were revealed after hidden camera sex tapes were uncovered, according to prosecutors.
"On that laptop were 32 videos engaged in sexual acts with Mr. Johnson," said Tim Lohmar, St. Charles County prosecutor.
Lohmar said Johnson can be seen with 31 unidentified people in videos taken over four months. Most of the videos were shot on the campus of Lindenwood University in St. Charles. Johnson has already been charged with five counts of knowingly transmitting the disease.
"It's safe to safe that numerous of those videos were taken inside his dorm room; we know that because we recognize the furniture,"
Lohmar said most of victims not only likely had no idea they were being video-taped; they were clueless that Johnson had HIV. That's why Lohmar wants any potential victims to come forward immediately. It's a matter not only of their individual safety but public safety as well.
Lindenwood University school officials tell News 4 they will assist law enforcement with identifying victims. They say they had no idea the videos existed until just a few days ago. "I think it's really scary, thinking someone like that is on campus, not thinking about others," said Student Jenny Counts.
Students are shaken up by this latest news, but glad that Johnson is still behind bars for now. [source]
3 Responses to Man arrested for knowingly exposing over 30 men to HIV identified as a "gay christian"
So are you saying that if one is Christian and is gay they are deceived and it leads them to deceiving others into sexual relationships? This has nothing to do with his Christian beliefs but more to do with his addictive behavior that chose not to deal with and address. And my bet is that there is some real anger issues here that he is unwilling to address. As well as anger towards God about what he caught and he transfers that to others. Indeed this is sad and I hope they discover these other men so they can get tested. And if you are going to be sexual with another then you better be wise, ask questions, not jump the gun and be safe!
Another textbook example of a mentally unstable, self-absorbed, selfish gay man who is unwilling to seriously deal with personality defects and spiritual sickness.
Gay men (and all of us really) need to learn to love the Lord with all our hearts, minds and souls. Then, we can try, with earnest, to love our fellows and ourselves.

Congratulations to Chris Thile.
The Iris Dement album is great.
First CD purchased? I came to CDs late, although I was selling them as the first shipments hit retail in Canada, mid-to late-83? The first I bought waited until I bought a new stereo after my 3rd year of teaching- imagine, delaying a purchase until you can afford it? So, summer of 1990. I bought a stack of four or five, but the only one that remains in my brain is Jeffrey Hatcher & the Big Beat's "Cross Our Hearts" featuring songs he would continue to perform with The Blue Shadows. I think I'll take it off the shelf again tonight. Thanks for making me think.
The very first CD I purchased was Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band by the Beatles. The mastering on it was terrible so I didn't listen to it again, eventually trading it in. Many years later, it was remastered again and the sound was vastly improved.
Country CDs were fairly scarce during the early years – I don't remember the first one I bought but it was something current like Alabama, Ronnie Milsap or Crystal Gayle since the older country didn't begin to be available on CD until the 1990s
I can remember the first LP I ever bought (Led Zeppelin IV), but can't say for certain what my first CD purchase was. Might be Robert Cray's Bad Influence in early 1988. Was getting big into him at the time and I would guess 4 of my first ten CD's were by him. Wasn't much of a straight country fan back then, although I think I bought Hank Williams 40 Greatest Hits before the '80′s ran out.
My first CD is embarrassing but I can't say I bought it since my mom bought it for me. It was Spice World by the Spice Girls. First country CD would be Dixie Chicks On Top of the World and Martina McBride's Martina.
That Gretchen Peters interview is great, it made me want to give Hello Cruel World another listen and now it's set to be my next purchase.
Summer of 1989. Killing Time Clint Black.
The first CDs I ever got were birthday presents. The ones I remember most are Rodney Crowell's "Diamonds and Dirt" and Dwight Yoakam's "Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room."
The first CD I ever bought was Shania Twain's Come On Over. Don't laugh.
I believe my first CD was The Beach Boys' Greatest Hits, Vol. 1. My first country one was Ten Strait Hits.
Dolly's "White Limozeen" was the very first CD I ever bought – Here in Canada, before Walmart etc. lowered the CD prices, CDs averaged 20 bucks…A lot of money for a kid in '89 who thought Dolly was the coolest chick ever. I still buy any CD she puts out – some great, some not so much, but "White Limozeen" is still one of my favorites…Why'd ya Come In Here Lookin like That, Yellow Roses, He's Alive… what a great CD!

Em "Rotas de fuga" as artistas não só andam pelo parque, mas também andam entre uma projeção e outra, de imagem em imagem, como sobre uma fita de moebius. Com as perspectivas do parque como pano de fundo, trocam uma mala de mãos. Nunca habitam a mesma imagem ao mesmo tempo, devido ao fato de raramente estarem na mesma cidade juntas, mas mesmo assim trocando experiências ao longo do tempo, desde que começaram a trabalhar em parceria em 2005.

We arrived in time for Sean's 'Grand Entrance' into the Gallery as an Apparently (and/or 'App'-parently: i.e. hardwared) Patriotic Cyber-Hoser, with Hoses and Cameras and Gadgets duct-taped to his Low-Tech Cyber-Suit apparel. Cyber-Sean then proceeded down the Visual-Arts Entrance through the Main Hall and into the UWO Art-Lab, where he clicked on an Internet Countdown (set at Twenty Minutes Forty-Six Seconds) and then Proceeded to Perform a Hose-and-Camera-and-Gadget Striptease on an Exercise Machine using Blades (knives) of Various and Increasing Sizes — enacting a kind of Low-Tech Hacker-Manifesto.
Since the Countdown was Projected on a Wall to the Right of his Exercise Machine, Cyber-Sean had to Turn his Head to the Right Repeatedly in order to Keep Track of the Countdown and Keep to its Time. When the Countdown reached Zero and its Screen then Flashed Red, Cyber-Sean was still engaged in a Gadget-removal, and only noticed that his Twenty Minutes Forty-Six Seconds had Elapsed a Minute or so After-the-Fact (Enacting the Having-Become-an-Historical-Object). Seeing the Flashing Red Screen, Realizing his Time was Up, he Dismounted the Machine and Departed.
Actually (hearkening back to our very first statement): we arrived Very Much Earlier than this Entrance and subsequent Performance, allowing us time to take-in his Art-Installation. On the Floor at the Left of the Art-Lab Entrance was a pile of Plastic-bound Print-outs from the 'THX 1138'-inspired 'Department of Biological Flow' Web-pages: 59 Black-and-White pages 'Toward a Kinoderm Aesthetics' (the Latter being the Title of this Text). The Art-Installation consisted, for the most part, of pages from this Black-and-White Catalogue (i.e. Print-outs of the 'Department of Biological Flow' Web-pages) taped to the Walls of the Art-Lab — the Message, here, being the Medium (the Text being the entire Context). The Writing was on the Walls: Read the Catalogue or Read the Art-Lab Exhibition — the Catalogue is the Exhibition and the Exhibition is the Catalogue; Cataphasis. Both the Lab and the Book, the Exhibition and the Catalogue, Constituted the Cataphatic Epiderm, the titular 'Kinoderm Aesthetics'; or so we suspected until the Performance, until the Appearance of the Cyber-Hoser, whose Hoses and Conduct were the Conduit toward which the titular 'Toward' Cataphatically Conducted the entire Exhibit/Catalogue.
Cyber-Sean, in the End, as the And, was the 'Kino' of the Cataphatic Catalogue/Exhibition's Epidermal Aesthetic, and the Double Display, the Pair of Particulars in Play, were Precisely the Out-of-Time/Having-Become-Historical aspect qua 'Glitch' of his Gadgetted Kinetic and the 'Original Accident' of his Having-Been-Cut: his Monty-Cantsin-style cut Drawing Blood, which in the End, as the And, was the Ultimate Drawing (the 'Original Accident' as 'Ultimate Drawing'): an Actual and Enacted 'Biological Flow'.

"If you recall Hegel in the Phenomenology speaks of the disappearance of the scar altogether: He writes: 'The wounds of the Spirit heal and leave no scars behind' (¶669). Such is transcendence. I think that this is a very dangerous idea. And in response to it, I am obliged to say: What we have to live in is our scars. But I'm emphasizing Living in, not just borderlines, but Living in our scars. Not with our scars, but in them."

Gilles Deleuze: "When a language is so strained that it starts to stutter, or to murmur or stammer … then language in its entirety reaches the limit that marks its outside and makes it confront silence. When language is strained in this way, language in its entirety is submitted to a pressure that makes it fall silent. Style—the foreign language within language—is made up of these two operations; or should we instead speak with Proust of a nonstyle, that is, of 'the elements of a style to come which do not yet exist'? Style is the economy of language. To make one's language stutter, face to face, or face to back, and at the same time to push language as a whole to its limit, to its outside, to its silence—this would be like the boom and the crash."

If contemporary explorations in the arts and sciences are increasingly turning to the insect world for inspiration, then we must inquire after the particular types of relations that we are describing in this valorization. Put differently, with the thousands upon millions of insect species currently flying, crawling and swarming over the earth, the non-human turn in art and philosophy can pretty much locate any metaphor it wishes in order to explicate a particular form of expression.
What are the particulars? Insects, in toto, offer very different tempos, life expectancies, modalities of movement, moments of articulation, et cetera, than we humans — perhaps we turn to them too readily to find new models for living? In our valorization of the insects and the corresponding non-human turn are we simply abdicating our responsibility for the capitalist regime that only we humans have created?
Do we seek to simply represent insects, or do we seek a becoming-insect towards a new consideration of ethics within the contemporary ecologies of the electric?

Daniel Kunitz: "Original as these strategies are, a few artists put written narrative to an even more inventive use. If stories operate through seduction, finding compelling ways to maintain intercourse with the reader, then the result of such couplings is, inevitably, the production of offspring. Several of the artists mentioned literalize this trope. For them the story is a means of generating new art objects. Mellors's Rabelaisian tale 'Giantbum' was written to provide the scenario for various video scripts he subsequently made and also as a vehicle for the creation of animatronic sculptures. For the past decade or so, everything produced by the artist Mai-Thu Perret has sprung from 'The Crystal Frontier,' her ongoing written tale of a utopian, all-female feminist community in the southwestern U.S. desert. Composed of discrete fictional texts in various genres — expository prose, diary entries, letters, daily schedules, and so on, parts of which she sometimes displays and sometimes publishes — the narrative creates a world that Perret then fills with objects. 'The story was imagined at the beginning,' Perret says in a 2009 interview, 'as a kind of machine that makes the art.'"

Most summers, Albert J. Pirro Jr. enjoys taking a respite from his busy life as a powerful lawyer and Republican lobbyist by playing golf and fishing off Montauk.
This year, though, Mr. Pirro, the husband of Jeanine F. Pirro, the Westchester County district attorney, may have to devote much time to legal maneuvering to prevent this from being his last free summer for several years.
On Thursday, Mr. Pirro, 53, was convicted by a federal jury of 34 counts of conspiracy, tax evasion and filing fraudulent tax returns. His younger brother and accountant, Anthony G. Pirro, 45, was convicted of 23 similar counts. Each now faces a possible jail sentence of three or four years.
''It's a very difficult time for the family,'' said Roger L. Stavis, Anthony Pirro's lawyer. ''We're obviously disappointed in the verdict. And we now have to focus our attention on the sentencing issues and our potential appeal.''
Mr. Pirro and his brother are to be sentenced on Sept. 28 before Judge Barrington D. Parker Jr. in Federal District Court here. And while Robert J. Giuffra Jr., one of Albert Pirro's defense lawyers, declined to comment on the next legal move, both brothers are eventually expected to file appeals, which means that the earliest either would go to jail would be early 2001.
Lawyers who observed the four-week trial said there were several issues that could have some traction in an appeal. For one, a lone juror -- William Cason of the Bronx -- defied the will of the majority until the last minute. Mr. Cason was so upset by the tense atmosphere in the jury room that he complained to Judge Parker.
On several occasions, Judge Parker issued what is known as an Allen charge: encouraging deadlocked juries to reach a unanimous decision. The last time the judge offered these instructions was 11 a.m. on Thursday, the fourth day of deliberations.
''You've got to take the law as I've charged you,'' Judge Parker said. ''Whether it's good law, bad law, it doesn't matter. You have to apply the law.''
A little more than an hour later, the jury returned with a unanimous verdict, though Mr. Cason clearly looked unhappy. And later he told reporters that he felt some pressure to cave in -- raising the question of whether he had been unduly coerced.
''What struck me was when the judge said, 'Resolve your differences, follow the law, follow the law,' '' said Kevin Hynes, a criminal defense lawyer in White Plains, who is also the son of Charles J. Hynes, the Brooklyn district attorney. ''Those types of things obviously pushed this juror into this decision, and a judge is never supposed to put the jury in a position where they're pushed to a verdict.''
But Kerry A. Lawrence, who, like Mr. Hynes, is a former prosecutor turned defense lawyer, said he felt that Judge Parker was careful and that Mr. Cason had had plenty of opportunities to assert himself.
''If that was his verdict, and he was troubled with it, that was his chance to say so,'' Mr. Lawrence said. ''I don't think that the case is likely to be disturbed on appeal.''
Another issue is the prosecution's characterization of Albert Pirro. In closing arguments, Cathy Seibel, an assistant United States attorney, suggested that Mr. Pirro was similar to Richard M. Nixon: a smart man who held on to incriminating evidence and tried to cover up. She also called him a ''crook'' a la Nixon, saying that ''justice demands'' a conviction.
''The whole Nixon analogy was outrageous,'' said Mr. Hynes, who is a loyal Democrat but counts the Pirros as friends. ''I've never seen a prosecutor make such a desperate move; it was absolutely a low blow.''
But Bennett L. Gershman, a Pace University professor who became a ubiquitous commentator on the trial, disagreed. In the trial of the mob boss John Gotti, he said, Andrew J. Maloney, then the United States attorney, told the jury, ''You would be less than human if you didn't feel some personal concern.'' That remark, an appellate court later said, was an ''intolerable and indefensible'' endeavor to instill fear in jurors. Even so, it was deemed to be ''harmless error,'' and the conviction was upheld.
''If something that inflammatory, seriously prejudicial, can be found to be 'harmless error,' '' Mr. Gershman said, ''what you saw here in this case pales in comparison.''
Another issue is the testimony of John Dennehy, an agent with the Internal Revenue Service. Mr. Dennehy was the prosecution's summary witness, explaining how Albert Pirro had repeatedly violated the tax code, as evidenced by invoices, tax returns and other documents.
That testimony was interrupted dozens of times by Albert Pirro's lawyers, who complained, mostly unsuccessfully, that Mr. Dennehy was offering improper legal conclusions and had essentially become the 13th juror.
In a way, Albert Pirro seemed to feel that the trial was stacked against him. Before the trial began, he had asked for a trial separate from his brother because he felt that Anthony was incompetent and addled by drugs.
But Judge Parker rejected that idea and excluded any mention of medical records in the trial. As a result, the joint trial could be an appellate issue as well.
There will no doubt be other issues, now that the case is headed for months of legal jousting. Still, Mr. Pirro's fight will be a tough one.
''Asserting a meritorious appeal is one thing, but winning that appeal is another,'' said David Feureisen, a criminal defense lawyer in White Plains.

College Football: Games to watch
ACC Championship game
No. 20 Duke (10-2) vs. No. 1 Florida State (12-0), 8:00: This certainly isn't the matchup most people expected this season. But Duke fans will take it. The Blue Devils surged into the ACC title game thanks to an eight-game winning streak that included victories over Virginia Tech, Miami and rival North Carolina. How did Duke do it? They did it with heady quarterback play...Read more »
Could we see an Alabama-Auburn rematch?
As expected, Florida State is No. 1, followed by Ohio State and Auburn. As stated in an earlier post, the debate for who should be No. 2 will rage on. Proof is in the pudding as the Buckeyes have just a .0270 lead over Auburn.
How about this for a scenario? Believe it or not, we could see an Alabama-Auburn rematch in the national title game. If Florida State and Ohio State both lose in their...Read more »
Games to watch Saturday
The college football season clearly has saved its best for the last regular season weekend off the season. Alabama plays at Auburn, Florida hosts Florida State, Texas A&M visits Missouri and Ohio State is at Michigan. Each of those games, and a few others not mentioned, could have some sort of effect on the BCS national championship and the Heisman Trophy race.

BCS: Oregon's loss is everyone else's gain
Oregon couldn't have picked a worse week to lose its first game of the season. With Alabama, Florida State and Baylor winning in dominating fashion and Ohio State still undefeated, the Ducks fell from third to sixth in the latest BCS standings.
Making matters worse for the Ducks, they fell behind Stanford in the BCS standings and PAC-12 North standings. If Stanford wins its remaining three...Read more »
SEC takes hit in first BCS poll
Notice anything strange about the BCS rankings? There are more ACC teams (3) in the top 10 then SEC teams (2). And there are just as many PAC-12 and BIG 12 teams (2) as Southeastern Conference squads.
That was a result of a tumultuous weekend that featured five ranked SEC teams losing. Texas A&M, LSU, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida all took a loss. Making matters even more intriguing,...Read more »
Games to watch this weekend
It's another weekend and another group of games with national title implications. Florida State-Clemson is the key game as the winner gets a leg up in the BCS race. Missouri got a huge boost with a 15-point win over Georgia, but lost its quarterback, while UCLA-Stanford might be the most important PAC-12 game this season.

Pod life in NYCPosted Aug 28, 2014
If you're going to NYC and on a budget I fully recommend Pod 39! There is nothing cheap about the hotel other than the price :-) You're 5 minutes walk from Grand Central Station, 10-15 minutes from Empire state, Chrysler Building you can literally touch from your window oh and the Pod 39 bar downstairs is a fun place to be. The room facilities are great but don't expect lots of room but if you're in NYC and staying in the room you need to see a doctor! So my experience was epic! Stay at Pod 39 and explore NYC.

Good stayPosted Aug 27, 2014
The rooms are small - but you know that when you book. They are however big enough, the beds are comfortable and the shower works plus you get free wifi. There really isn't much else to the hotel except the rooftop bar which is highly recommended as a place for a drink on a warm evening - but be warned it is busy and lively rather than spacious and chilled out.

Affordable Midtown East NYC HotelPosted Aug 26, 2014
Pros: Convenient location a few blocks from Grand Central Station & LaGuardia airport shuttle.
Cons: Hotel cleaning staff cleaned my room quite late - 3PM & 4PM. So it was difficult to come back in the afternoon for a nap.
Location: Restaurants nearby on Lexington Avenue. Nicer ones on 2nd & 3rd Av. further north (50s & 60s Sts).
Checkin & checkout were a breeze. Had an early flight to NYC and my room wasn't available until the official 3PM checkin time. If you want to spend a lot of time in your hotel room, then you will find the rooms too small. I used it more to sleep & shower, while visiting NYC. The single pods are well designed with space saving features & accessoires.

Perfect place to stay in NYPosted Aug 23, 2014
Pros: Everything
This was a 3 day stay following 2 weeks road-tripping across US and it gave us: perfect location, great atmosphere, excellent service (they allowed us to check in 3 hours before regular check-in time). It just so happened that we go the room at the top, 17th, floor and when we saw the rooftop terrace with the bar and a drop dead views, our jaws dropped. Earlier, I had pleasure staying in some crazy expensive hotel on 5th avenue while in NY on business but on strictly personal level Pod 39 beats it not only on price factor, but on pretty much any other parameter there is.

What can I say that others haven't said already!? This place was PERFECT!! Stayed in room 903! Slept like a baby, enjoyed the small and cozy room, took advantage of the Rooftop Bar that made me feel on top of the world (awesome view), loved the good food & service at the Salvation Taco lobby restaurant/bar! ALL WAS AMAZING!

Great for overnightPosted Aug 18, 2014
Pros: Cleanliness and location
Cons: shower head and water pressure was too much
Location: 39th and 3rd was walking distance to Empire State Bldg, Chrylser building and Grand Central Station which takes you anywhere you want to go.
The room was extremely clean which I loved! And the location was just perfect. But the bunk pod was too small for a stay of more than a day. There was no place to put anything. Everyday it was unpack and repack. No real bathroom counter, mirror was only face height (so no seeing what you are wearing) and one desk and one chair for two people for three days was a bit too much. Would try again in a bigger room ~

Great location. Fun staff. Clean room.Posted Aug 9, 2014
Pros: Location, cleanliness, friendly staff. Great place to come back to after a day of shows and sightseeing, and relax at the rooftop bar.
Cons: Big thick towels, and big thick pillows would be awesome.
Location: NYC Library, Morgan Library, Times Square, Broadway. With Grand Central only a couple of blocks away, it is easy to catch subway to anywhere else.
Great location just a block or two from Grand Central. Fun Mexican bar/restaurant on main floor with a cool rooftop bar on the 17th. My room was small but clean and comfortable. If you want to spend a lot of time in your room then Pod is not the place for you. But, why would you. You're in NYC.

Great hotel for short stays in NY.Posted Aug 8, 2014

The picture that triggered this post is being carried at the end, by design. It will evoke disgust, ugh, argh, outrage and shame in equal measure. So please take a look only if you think you are sure you can stand gut-wrenching visuals.
At a time when the nation seems to be in the grip of Biti Mohanti's dual identity and Vijender Singh's drug links and, of course, the political drama that is full of exploitation of all sorts, I was more disturbed by a picture that someone shared with me the other day. It is the picture of the mutilated body of a male tiger, minus its head and limbs, from the Tadoba National Park, the oldest in Maharashtra. The adult tiger was killed by an organised poaching gang that first snared it with a metal trap and then cut it into pieces and took away the head and the limbs, which are in demand in the fareast.
We know how organised poaching gangs, often with covert support of powerful lobbies in the government and administration, have been playing havoc with our wildlife, even more with whatever is endangered and is our nation's pride. It pains to see them gaining ground while all those who genuinely want to see these beautiful animals survive, feel increasingly exasperated at the state of affairs.
Our parliament has become a circus and most admit to the mockery that goes on there in the name of democracy. They have the time to discuss and show indignation over cartoons and Facebook posts and tweets. But when it comes to discussing something that is often referred to as the national heritage, there is no more than mere lip service.
You would remember that a tigress was killed in Bandhavgarh in May, 2010, and although the report was suppressed, it was pretty well-known that the tigress was hit by the jeep driven by the son of a minister in the Madhya Pradesh government. Now, hasn't that almost become a norm. Politicians/babus (even judges) and their friends and families treat these national parks like their personal property and the animals as fair game. There are tales of them being mistreated, almost being pushed around so that they can show off to their friends or whoever they are trying to impress. Is there no way of stopping all this nonsense? Remember just last month I raised the issue of how stupid officials organised an event to mark the World Wetlands Day in Sultanpur by using loudspeakers inside the park premises. One cannot just let it pass as ignorance. If that be the case then they do not deserve to be in that job. Period! Worse, they seem to think the rules don't apply to them and that law will almost never catch up with them. So far, it doesn't.
The question is can we do nothing about it? Do we have no option but to express helplessness whenever such brutality is brought to our notice? To all those who nod in agreement with the above two observations, the response is, we have no option but to make things count, and now!
We have become vocal about demanding our rights and thankfully, the politicians too are feeling the heat, it seems. I think the time is now to make it clear that we will not accept this nonsense any more. I shared this picture with a famous wildlife photographer from the US, Kim Sullivan, who has spent considerable time photographing tigers and other animals in India and the world over. Her immediate response upon seeing the picture was this: We need to implement the same thing they are doing in South Africa with the rhino, i.e. rhino wars. Special Forces or retired Special Forces to use modern day technology to track down and "stop" with whatever means necessary, these poachers. Its not enough to feel sad and complain and for the government to feign disdain we need to implement a solution. I know so many NGOs that would absolutely fund this type of action. We need permission/commitment from the Indian government/parliament….this is where the majority of the problem lies. Their half assed lame responses are hampering all the committed brave and courageous people on the ground there who are endlessly working to stop this. They need help on a whole different level to stop these poachers who DAILY change their pernicious methodology to come up with new ways to outwit those who are trying to protect the tigers so that they can poach them. At this point these psychopaths are winning.
Am sure none will disagree with her observation and the way forward. But would we? Will our politicians move beyond giving sound bites? Will they ever genuinely feel that we are killing with our ignorance and indifference, something that will never come back to us? I am not sure, but that makes it even more imperative on us, the common men and those who feel for the cause to become more vocal. We, as media too, have to start taking this more seriously than merely reporting faithfully what these platitude spewing politicians mouth and consider our job as done.
Our nation expressed rightful indignation when Pakistan sent back mutilated and headless bodies of our soldiers recently. Most right thinking Indians have still not got over that incident. To me, this picture of the tiger is in the same category.

TUESDAY, July 7 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken steps to help prevent overdose in patients taking pain medications that contain the opioid propoxyphene, including Darvon and Darvocet, according to a July 7 release issued by the agency.
In light of data linking propoxyphene and fatal overdose, the FDA is now requiring manufacturers of products that contain propoxyphene to strengthen the wording of the label, including the boxed warning, so it emphasizes the potential for overdose. The agency is also requiring manufacturers to provide patients with a medication guide that stresses the importance of using the drugs as directed.
In addition, the FDA will undertake a new study that will address questions about how high doses of propoxyphene affect the heart. The agency will also work with other organizations, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Veterans Health Administration, to try to determine how often the elderly are prescribed propoxyphene and how its safety profile compares to that of other drugs.
"Physicians need to be aware of the risk of overdose when prescribing these drugs. They should carefully review patient histories and make appropriate treatment decisions based on the warnings and directions stated within the drug's label," Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research in Silver Spring, Md., said in a statement. "Prescribers and patients should be aware of propoxyphene's potential risks when used at doses higher than those recommended."

I got my $5 beauty rewards today along with a $2 off covergirl clean liquid foundation or press powder
Sadly, the machines are down! They have been down since yesterday evening and in the middle of their 20% full priced items for the Columbus Day holiday. Discouraging. I was set to spend my $50 to save $10 plus my 20% among other manufacturer's coupons. What is the issue? Anyone?
they tried to tell me that the machine was down and all it needed was paper. i politely informed her she was mistaken and she filled it.
I just went today and never got any of the Qs above but something else instead
$2 any Covergirl Clean Liquid Foundation or Pressed Powder
$1 Maybelline NY Mega Plush
$2 any Mentos Curvy Bottle
$0.50 1 Dozen Eggs
Also, $4 Mederma Stretch Marks, Therapy or Advanced Scar Gel 50g+
I got all of what you got. minus the eggs. and I got the mederma scar gel cpn.
I got $2off Mentos curvy bottle, $4 off Mederma stretchmarks therapy, $1off Maybelline NY mascara, and $2off Covergirl clean liquid foundation or presses powder!
Blank paper and to sign up for double bucks… already did.. HMMMMM
Blank paper! At several different store machines this week. My daughter scanned the machine at one store 12 times and same results. Blank paper! CVS needs a recycle bin next to the machines or just display to the console no rewards.
Yes, the blank paper is sure a mystery this week. I hear most people are getting that. Makes you wonder what mass-programming is causing that.
If your getting blank paper the store has loaded the machine wrong, if there is nothing to print it actually tells you that.
I got a blank paper AND I keep getting the paper with the bar code for double bucks when I've already signed up. Aside from that, all I got from the machine was $4 off Allegra 30 count.
I keep getting blank paper this week too.
I always get the coupon that says get double points or something like that.
I think that is our new "Caliber Stationery" thorn
i got the $2/2 Tresemme products went to te travel size area an got a travel size shampoo and cond. $1 each.
That coupon specifically excludes the trial size.
"Travel" is not the same as "Trial." Good job Sheila!
So the last two times I went to CVS and scanned my card at the red machine, either it was out of paper, or there were numerous blank coupons printed within the rest of the coupons. Is there any way to get back the coupons that I missed from the malfunctioning machines??
That happened to me, too!
Happened to me too! Both yesterday and today! Boo! Glad to know it wasn't just me.
I think it's just a glitch. I don't think anything was supposed to print on those.
It's happening to everyone. Strange!
$2/2 Tresemme products. Are there any deals for this?
you can stack it with the B2G1 MQ or two $1/1 IP (it came with the
nexxus coupon among others.. its no longer available)… it was on sale
last week for 2/$7.. but I'm pretty sure it's not now. So if you have a
Purchase Based coupon ($5/$30 .. or $10/$50 crt).. if your planning a
larger trip that would help… also if a % off coupon comes on thrus.
that would be even better.
I got $5.00 off on $25.00 purchase
I got a 5 off Of 15 dollar coupon. TALK ABOUT LUCKY!
CVS brand vitamins are buy1get1FREE this week I used the $3/1 any vitamins Q and got 2 bottles of Vitamin C that are priced @ $2.99.
I got $7.00 cash back from the machine. I think it has something to do with cosmetic that I have purchased over the last few months. $2.00 coupon for Revlon Beauty Tool, $1.00 of any Colgate Sensitive Pro toothpaste.
I got a $3 off and CVS shampoo or conditioner. Their Pantene knock off is $2.99.
Sorry typo. $3 off any CVS shampoo or conditioner
I got $10.00 ooff on $50.00 purchase
since they have announced the dollars off coupons spending either $20 0R $50 i have not received these in the machine is there a specific day they r printing???
I got a $5.00 0ff any Vitamin purchase of $10.00 or more,
along with the $2.00 off 2 TreSemme items &
$5.00 off $25.00 purchase. I'm in Acworth, Ga.
I received $1 off any multipack or bottle gum, but I'm not really sure what that is?
I believe it's referring to a 3 pack of gum( it's usually a strip with 3 or 2 packs) and bottled referring to the little canisters of gum such as Mentos I know juicy fruit comes in these little plastic bottles. HTH

What's the buzz? They've been oddball rock stars for the past fifteen years and there's very little that this LA-based group hasn't accomplished. Their string of eponymous releases is always wildly popular with their fans and anticipation for "The Red Album" scored them a Spin magazine cover story.
Is it worth a damn? Rivers Cuomo doesn't disappoint in the slightest. Of the ten songs included in this short-but-sweet disc, all of them make you want to fall in love. Tunes like "Heart Songs" and "Pork and Beans" showcase how versatile the group is. Plus it was produced by Rick Rubin. When's the last time he struck out?
Chances it'll be nominated for a Grammy: 85 percent. The one thing they haven't accomplished yet is winning a Grammy, and if rock continues to have a down year creativity-wise, "The Red Album" should warrant this band a miniature gramophone for sure.
What's the buzz? The Roots has been doing a ton of press in support of the album and with only two original members of the group left (Black Thought and ?uestlove), it was a mystery how much Rising Down would even sound like the Roots.
Is it worth a damn? Rising Down isn't their classic album Things Fall Apart, and if you expect it to sound like that, you'll be disappointed. But as far as raw honesty goes, this is their most in-your-face album to date. And Black Thought raps like he's a can of Red Bull on "75 Bars."
Chances it'll be nominated for a Grammy: 70 percent. The group has lots of respect with industry insiders and that should help. But the album is dark, angry and unflinching, so don't be surprised if it gets passed over for a more commercial rap selection.
