... was picturing to cuddle with tigers in the middle of the jungle, I knew it wasn�t going to be very different from an ordinary zoo. It wasn�t indeed…
We entered the main lobby where the tickets were being sold. The price depends on the tiger�s age, or let�s say its size. The costs of admission for playing with tigers in enclosure are as follows:
Single tickets:
- Smallest (2-3 months): BHT 620
- Small (4-8 months): BHT ...
Day 38 - Chiang Mai
... from and tucked into my classic beef, noodles and veg dish for dinner. We did a little shopping but were too wet to barter successfully so headed back to the hostel to chill for the remainder of the evening. As we walked through the hostel entrance, everyone staying there was sitting in the reception area being fed dinner by the owner and were shocked/amused by how drenched we were. We really did look like drowned ...
Day 4
... I've just realised I've made no mention of the weather so far. Bangkok was really sunny and blue sky's, it was around 36 degrees and very sticky. Chiang mai has been slightly cooler about 32 degrees, still quite humid but with a lovely breeze although it's cloudier. All in all, it's warmer than England has felt in a long time so we're just going to enjoy it...and appreciate good air con and a cold beer! Naomi and Russ ...
Talking to Monks and other adventures
... for us, our hostel had a guide to pricing to get back with whichever option you chose. The reccomendation was 100 baht if private or 20 baht each to wait.
Too hungry and worried we'd end up having to share with the Germans, we sought out a private songthaew (imagine a large red truck with a cover on its back). We had to walk a bit aways from the train station as men were trying to get us to pay 500 baht for private or 50 baht for waiting. We eventually found ...
... warm sea lapping my feet, feeling
more like King Canute than King James, I wallowed in the warm hospitality and
sumptuous fish and seafood supper. Crab, prawns, fish and more with litres of
drink. For a family of five this would have broken the bank in many places and
at RM 160 ($45) I thought there must be a mistake. Happily not so.

A conversational writing style is not the writing style that your English teacher teaches you in school. It is not appropriate for writing school essays or academic thesis.
This type of writing style is predominant on the internet. Many webmasters use it when writing web content. And for good reasons too. A conversational writing style is more casual and therefore makes the content easy to read.
Characteristics of a conversational writing style
1. Contractions
Articles using a conversational writing style uses contractions liberally. Writers use "it's" instead of "it is" and "don't" instead of "do not". Contractions make reading easy and also help if you have a word limit.
2. Very personal
The use of "I" and "you" in this type of writing style makes the articles very personal. Readers will feel that the writer is talking to him personally. And the writer becomes like a friend to the reader.
3. Ask questions regularly
Questions are posed to readers at regular intervals. For example, in an article about how to spend money wisely, the writer might ask the question : Do you find that you always run of money before the end of the month?
And then the writer would proceed to answer the question and therefore present a solution to the problem that the reader may be facing.
By asking questions, the writer is seen as someone who understands the problems facing the reader and therefore is engaging the reader in a "virtual conversation".
4. Use very simple and common words
Why use "foliage" when you mean the leaves in the trees? Why use "pertinacious" when you can use the word "stubborn" instead?
Big words turn people off. It's quite annoying reading articles when every now and again you need to look up the meanings of difficult words in the dictionary.
A conversational writing style wouldn't be guilty of this. Writers using this style would use simple and common words.
5. Humor
It's good if you have a sense of humor. You can inject that into your articles and make your articles entertaining and therefore easy to read.
But if you aren't able to introduce humor into your articles, don't do it. You might offend some readers as you may not know what is acceptable humor to your readers.
Writing in a conversational style doesn't imply being sloppy. You must still follow acceptable grammatical rules and spelling. It only means that you have to write in a clear and concise manner so that your articles are easily understood.

Final: Argentina advance to World Cup Final on PKs
The Netherlands and Argentina will play for the right to meet Germany on Sunday in the 2014 World Cup final. Lionel Messi will be looking for a chance to silence the doubters who say he must win a World Cup to be one of the greatest of all time, while the Oranje are still chasing their first every World Cup.
The Dutch could be without striker Robin van Persie who is struggling with a stomach bug, making his availability a doubt that probably won't be known until much closer to kickoff. The midfield could get a boost though with Nigel de Jong reportedly set to make a surprise return from a groin injury that was supposed to end his tournament. Both Ron Vlaar and Leroy Fer, who've been carrying knocks, trained with the team on Tuesday.
For Argentina, Sergio Agüero should be available after recovering from thigh injury, which should give their attack a boost. Fullback Marcos Rojo will return as well after serving a yellow card accumulation suspension in the quarterfinals. Angel di María is definitely out with a thigh injury, but could come back for the final if Argentina advances.
This if the first meeting between the two nations at the World Cup since a scoreless draw in 2006.
Match date/time: Wednesday, 4 p.m. ET
Venue: Arena de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil
TV: ABC (U.S. - English), Univision (U.S. - Spanish), CBC (Canada), ITV 1 (U.K.), Canal 7 TV Publica (Argentina), Nederland 1 (Netherlands)
Online: WatchESPN (U.S. - English), Univision En Vivo (U.S. - Spanish), CBC Sports streaming (Canada), ITV Player (U.K.), NOS Live Streaming (Netherlands)
United States announcers: Jon Champion, Stewart Robson

The event Monday night brought out a lot of fans wanting to meet Erin. The kids at the event were overjoyed.
"Makes me feel excited that I finally get to know someone that I really wanted to meet," said Paige Serafin.
"Think it was pretty awesome, cause she's famous pretty much," said Kamryn Kotary.
"It was really coo because she, like, won the medal and it was actually a real bronze medal from the Olympics," said Natalie Brewer.
Erin says that's one of the best parts of events like this one.
"When I see all the little kids that get totally frozen like deer in head lights, it's so cute. And it's awesome and I'm really glad that I can be that positive influence," said Erin Hamlin.
Being a positive influence isn't the only thing Erin did at this event.
She chose to give all the proceeds to Sitrin, which is a company helps provide adaptive sport equipment to disabled PEOPLE.
"It's a great program that Sitrin is doing in giving people the opportunity to not let their injuries or disabilities hold them back, so it's really exciting and I'm very happy to support it," said Erin Hamlin.
Sitrin says it does a lot more than allow disabled people to play sports.
"It's amazing to see the difference it makes in their lives. It gives them a sense of purpose," said Sitrin spokeswoman Christa Serafin.
Some kids see Erin choosing Sitrin as another thing to look up to her for.
"I think it's awesome that not only does Erin coming out to meet people, but also for a great charity and not only just signing the pictures, but everyone can donate a dollar and it goes to a great cause," said Taylor Kotary.
Erin will be playing in the Sitrin wheelchair basketball game on Thursday at Utica College with other central New York celebrities.

10Best And Worst Celebrity Looks Of The Week!
Welcome back to another edition of Best and Worst Celebrity Looks of the Week! Here's last week's looks. This week, as usual, I want you to go through the various outfits and make your picks for who has the BEST, WORST, and most WTF look of the week. Mine are, as usual, at the bottom. I think we all know who is gunning for most WTF look of the week (above) but wait until you see John Mayer's outfit! We got a lot of looks for you, so let's get started!
Speaking of WTF, well hello, Rihanna's boobs, thanks for time traveling from having disco night with Jay Gatsby to join us this evening!
I think Amanda Seyfried is too tiny for this Stevie Nicks-style dress.
Anna Chlumsky in such an unnecessary crop top. My crusade against crop tops continues. This whole outfit is puzzling.
OMFG I love Blake Lively in this 1960′s Sally Draper getup. Girl has been BRINGING IT lately. This is so perfect I can practically hear Betty screaming at her.
Christina Hendricks in something fug. It's like she was inspired by Grimace. Not a good look, right down to the pointy metallic shoes.
But here's a Mad Men lady who nailed it — Miss Elisabeth Moss. Her style has gotten so much better lately. Well done.
I think Emmy Rossum looks like a perfect earthy goddess, even with the crazy nest of hair. I love this.
Then, we have Florence Welch in wallpaper.
Here's Gwen Stefani wearing half an overall AGAIN. Why??? It looks stupid. I like the shoes though. Wonder if they're L.A.M.B..
Here's Hilary Duff looking adorable. I love the hat. It's kind of necklace overkill, but I'll allow it. Why do I want to be her friend so badly? What's up with that? I'll take any theories.
Here's Isabel Lucas looking ridiculous, from head to toe. Let's get a closer look at her headpiece:
I mean, come on. This is not The Never-Ending Story. Love her eyelashes though, very retro application. Oh man, we have a WTF goldmine of looks this week.
Jennifer Hudson. I like the new haircut, and I'd like the gown if not for the weird sleeve. This would look so much better if entirely strapless. And those shoes are kinda not doing it for me — they seem like something you'd buy at Nine West for your first big girl office job.
John Mayer: BWUAHAHAHAHA. What in the everloving f-ck is this? He looks like Justin Bieber as styled by Taylor Swift.
Here's Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting in Holy Crap Someone Got Tan. She looks like Kate Gosselin.
Y'all ready for this? Katie Price, looking like a MarioKart level. Insanity. Classic Katie Price.
I will give Kelly Osbourne props — she's looking good. Still not a huge fan of the hair, but she knows now how to dress for her bod, and she looks killer.
Here's Kendall Jenner, looking like a blue pencil. I think her legs are the size of my arms. I might be crazy but I don't entirely hate this suit, though I'm not a fan of the heels she paired it with.
Keri Russell. Sometimes fashion gets so artsy that you wind up looking like Ariel after she tried to make a gown out of a discarded boat sail. I feel a little like that's what happened here. She looks beautiful but when I see this gown, I wonder about its functionality instead of admiring its avant-garde…ness. Know what I mean?
Amazingly, here's Kim Kardashian entirely covered. She looks like she stole an outfit from the Felicity American Girl doll. I think it's a bit of a frumpy look for her. Sorry, Kim. Appreciate the thought.
Here's Kylie Jenner in WTF heels and skirt. I can't tell if that skirt has a cutout at the top or what's going on there. And the hair. Girl, no. Leave that kind of hair to Katy Perry.
I barely recognize Lily Allen. I appreciate the 1970′s feel of this gown, and I love the shoes, but the whole look comes off as a little…odd. I think Lily Allen's shrinking body makes her look a little…well, odd. Does this make sense? I'm not saying she looks bad, she just looks very different. It's the hair, too. Okay, I'm done here.
Lindsay Lohan looking just like her mom. And God, those boots are awful.
Here's someone we haven't seen in a while: Lucy Liu. It's an interesting gown. Reminds me of the opening credits of Breaking Bad.
When Lupita Nyong'o nails it, she's brilliant; when she misses, she misses hard. I think this is a big miss.
Here's Disney Princess Mariah Carey. Hoo boy. This is like Vanna White meets Courtney Stodden with 1980′s Madonna gloves. Stay gold, Mariah.
I have no idea what the everloving hell is going on with Marion Cotillard's dress, or why. It's almost like she put a floppy Venn Diagram on her body.
Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, aka Mel B. I guess the "B" is for boring, because that's what this is. Zing! Like the blue nail polish though, that's pretty cute.
Robin Wright is a beautiful woman but I don't think this dress works for her. It's almost too little girlish. She needs something more sleek and structural. Something more substantial.
Here's Shailene Woodley who is sick of Jennifer Lawrence comparisons, and yet I can't help but compare this to the gown Jennifer Lawrence wore to the Oscars (the 2nd time she was nominated). It's almost identical, just different colors. She's gotta know that. No way she didn't know.
Here's Solange Knowles, looking like 1970′s Diana Ross, and I love it. Love love that hair.
Here's Sophia Bush. I don't get this. I don't think it's particularly flattering. Love the hair though.
And finally, Zoe Saldana in a frumpy mess.
Lots of looks! Here are my picks.
BEST: Blake Lively
WORST: Christina Hendricks
WTF: John Mayer
Your turn!

10 Responses to "Best And Worst Celebrity Looks Of The Week!"
I think you are just afraid to say anything negative about Solange – for fear she'll kick your ass. the dress is great – the hair I could do without. She just always looks pissed off at the world. yah, sorry that your sister is prettier – deal with it – you are beautiful and talented as well.
Best: Emma.
Anna's shoes are horrible. So is Blake's whole look and those lips she always makes.
LOVED blake's outfit. still dreaming about it
Blake, Shailene, and Lucy look great. WTF – Marian because seriously. Worst – Rainbow Brite.
Ok, I thought Robin Wright was a guy dressed as a girl – still do.
I want Katie Prices socks/tights – the rest can be incinerated.
Even marions boobs are crying
Mayer looks like he trying to amp up the johhny depp comparisons
This is a tough one because there's so much hot mess and so much I like.
Katie Price is the worst (because, obviously)
I actually really loved Lucy Lui's look and Shailene Woodleys dresses, but there are some definite winners in there as well.
WTF has to be John Mayer. Seriously, it's like the front of those pants is a trouser/button-down-cardigan monstrosity. I don't really even know what I'm looking at.

I built this rocker for our local hospital's annual auction. It is contructed from quarter-sawn white oak and lacewood. Other than using a bandsaw to rough cut the pieces and an angle grinder to "scoop out" the seat, all the work was done with three different spokeshaves. I really enjoy using my hand tools, which I believe allows me to create a more "sculpted" look. It is finished with a 50/50 mix of tung oil and polyurethane and then sanded up to 1000-grit and polished with paste wax.

Very nice. I like the contrast of the two woods, not too much but still noticable. The finish looks great. I agree that it should fetch a pretty penny at the auction. You should feel good about this project.

Fiesta Bowl executive director Robert Shelton: We will be part of the new BCS cycle
Originally published: Feb 14, 2013 - 6:58 pm
However after next season, college football will undergo a bit of a facelift, as BCS commissioners and the organization's presidential oversight committee officially agreed in November 2012 to institute a four-team playoff.
With a new playoff in 2014, there are six opportunities for prospective hosts (four BCS bowls and two playoff games), leaving many around the Valley wondering: Will the Fiesta Bowl still be a featured site?
"First of all don't be nervous, (an announcement about the Fiesta Bowl being named one of the BCS sites) will come," Fiesta Bowl executive director Robert Shelton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "The reason it hasn't come yet is that this is a very complex beast. All the commissioners and presidents on the BCS presidential oversight group are trying to put it all together.
"We thought they had it done last April, and they did indeed put the skeleton together...So it's marching along but taking longer than we had hoped."
While the process has been a tedious one to say the least for Shelton and the Fiesta Bowl, he said good news should be on the way very soon.
"They had a meeting earlier this month, six of all the commissioners, and from that meeting we expect that by the end of this month, okay I'm going out on a limb now, to have our contractual agreement," said Shelton. "We will say yes to those conditions. We have first right of refusal on that because of our current status in the four-bowl BCS configuration.
"We will say yes to that configuration, and we will be able to make an official announcement. I'm looking forward to that."
Shelton believes the expected honor of remaining in the BCS cycle is a tribute to the passionate college football fans in and around Glendale.
"This area shown remarkable support for postseason college football," said Shelton. "Everybody says when I travel around the country, that nobody does it better, not just the Fiesta Bowl and all of our volunteers, but the entire hospitality industry in the Valley of the Sun. They love coming here."
As part of a new wrinkle to the system, also starting in 2014 any organization can bid for the right to host the national championship game. However as Shelton noted, to be deemed a competent host organizations need to have the experience, the stadium, the hospitality industry to step up and the ability to raise a decent amount of extra funds.
"We think we have that. We know we have that," said Shelton. "It's a matter of the Fiesta Bowl working with other entities, because we can't do it on our own.
"But, we want to submit a bid working with the state, with the local municipalities, with hotel resorts and the corporate sector."
In order for the Fiesta Bowl to host the title game, Shelton said it will take the same collective effort used in years past to bring Super Bowls to the Valley.

WHITESBURG, KY (WAVE) - A boy who won
his battle against cancer died after a tragic accident.
On Monday, Logan Howard, 5, drove a
battery-powered Jeep under a trampoline and
got pinned between the trampoline and the vehicle.
Logan was given CPR at the scene, but
died on the way to the hospital.
In 2011, Logan's mother, Jaimie Sparks, learned her then
3-year-old son had beaten cancer. "If he met you, you were automatically touched. He just had this
smile, and his personality," Sparks said of her son.
Logan's family members said he lost an eye as a result of cancer and he
may not have seen the trampoline.

Charlize Theron's obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is so bad she has to check every closet and drawer in a new house before she can move in.
"The Monster" beauty is open about suffering from the anxiety-based condition, and can't function properly if her house is not clean and tidy.
But the star admits her OCD gets worse when she's on location and is renting a new home - because she has to check over every storage space.
She tells CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, "I suffer from a bit of OCD. I'm a bit compulsive. I have a thing about things that are hidden, I have a hard time. Especially if I'm renting a house and I'm working on a film, I have to know what's in all the closets.
"This is so pathetic... The first thing I do, I inspect every closet and drawer and then I have... to put things where I think they belong in a room so that I can get access to them. This is so bad, so pathetic, I'm single, I need to find a man!"

Comment: Re:Just doin' business (Score 1) 247
Wait so this is similar because when you go to a store, whose employees sole job to sell you something, it is like when you go to technical support, expecting someone whose sole job is to support your issue? They are 2 distinct types of employees. When I go to a store I expect to be upsold. When I contact customer service for a problem I do not expect to be sold something.
You may not expect it but many companies, that sell to customers as opposed to those who manufactur a product and sell through retailers, expect anyone who regularly deals with customers to try to upsell. Some are low key and others pushy. Airlines for example ask if I need a hotel or car at my destination. When I say no there is no they say thanks have a nice flight. Trying to camel SiriusXM was a nightmare of "no I don't x free months. Just cancel it" before the retention guy cancelled it.

Time is so right; it is criminal to not write about phones. Every time there is news of Apple coming up with a new phone, there is also news of competition coming up with their latest, right around the same time. For every feature Apple comes up with, competition comes up with at least two. Competition claims to do more, Apple claims to do them right and do them simple and intuitive. At the end, I truly believe phones have reached a point where it is kind of pointless to put them side to side and compare features. This is for two reasons (a) the features roughly are the same (b) the real comparison is not the phones, but the people that use it. This post is about the second part – you.
I am not what you call the sophisticated user. But there are plenty of features I use. Not from the perspective of "hey, I know it works", but truly depend on the features to work for my everyday life to function. Without the phone, my everyday life will still function, but the phone helps me do things faster, efficiently, and in most cases, without having to need my laptop.
Sometimes I feel like the phone is our command center – here you can connect with people, manage utilities, manage finances (that is a broad category including bank accounts, credit card accounts, brokerage accounts and so many others), of course manage my work and personal emails, my work and personal calendars, make travel arrangements (hotels, rental cars, airfare), retail shopping (loyalty cards, store credit cards) and entertainment. No, I am not talking about what you CAN do, but I am referring to what I DO do, and in most case almost exclusively (meaning, I can't remember the last time I accessed my bank account from a PC).
I still have lot of friends who have the swankiest smart phones, but haven't changed their "methods" since the time cell phones were mostly candy phones.
So I figure what good is the greatest smart phone if the owner doesn't use it for much more than phone calls?

Many organizations are focusing on IT metrics and metering to generate IT cost savings. Here's a quick summary of how one organization is using metering of IT resource consumption to improve IT cost visibility and move from being a cost center to an internal service provider.
Company and IT Overview
The Company operates a 24-hour cable network that reaches about 100 million US homes and a web site that has more than 60 million users per month. The Company is divided into two primary business units, each with their own P&L.
The IT organization is moving toward a centralized internal IT service provider model that supports both lines of business. The IT infrastructure is owned and operated by the Company with approximately 400 physical servers and 700 virtual servers across the business. The majority of the virtual servers are running open source Xen Server, but the Company also uses VMware vSphere for virtualizing Windows workloads.
The Company was challenged with a lack of accurate IT metrics, cost data and visibility into consumption across a highly diverse infrastructure, hypervisor, and application environment.
Because the Company was running a highly virtualized infrastructure with multiple hypervisors, getting accurate and comprehensive data on how the IT resources were being consumed was extremely difficult. The IT group knew they could improve the business value they delivered to the Company through utility metering their infrastructures, but they didn't have a mechanism to get a complete view of how their IT resources were being consumed by virtual machines or even how much a particular department or user was consuming.
- Inefficient project budgeting
As an IT-intensive organization, the Company's business initiatives required a significant amount of IT resources - compute, storage, networking, etc. As projects were requested IT resources were provisioned. When a project was requested for which there wasn't sufficient resources, that project was saddled with the entire cost of the next infrastructure investment.
- Inaccurate cost and profitability data
After numerous iterations of project challenges because of IT cost misallocation, the Company recognized their methodology heavily skewed IT and business initiative costs, making accurate costing and project profitability determinations nearly impossible.
The Company adopted 6fusion's innovative SaaS based UC6 platform and Cloud Resource Meter to meter all machines in the Company's IT environment, both physical and virtual across multiple hypervisors. Their infrastructure now includes Cloud Resource Meter for VMware and Cloud Resource Meter for Xen, and they plan to deploy Cloud Resource Meter for Linux on their physical machine environments to expand visibility across that infrastructure as well.
- Shift to an Internal Service Provider
Cloud Resource Meter has been a key component in the IT group's move from being a cost center to an internal service provider.
- IT Project Budgeting Transformation
Using this technology has enabled the Company to deliver accurate IT metrics, cost and business initiative profitability, transforming their business process and putting IT in a leadership role in the Company.
- Detailed IT metric reporting
The Company now has the ability to provide detailed real time and historical reports on IT resource consumption, from the department level down to the individual VM level.
- Workload orchestration
6fusion's platform gives the Company the ability to provide end-user self-service for deploying and managing workloads across private and public cloud environments.
- Built-In Hybrid Cloud
Because 6fusion provides access to a federated network of public cloud providers using the same technology, the Company now has the ability to leverage a hybrid or public cloud model when the Company is ready.
The post IT metrics drive enterprise IT cost visibility appeared first on 6fusion.

While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Over the last few years the healthcare ecosystem has revolved around innovations in Electronic Health Record (HER) based systems. This evolution has helped us achieve much desired interoperability. Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

During the first Hopkins Holiday Pub Crawl, cheerful throngs of yuletide party-goers make merry at five area bars, sipping drink specials, taking home raffle prizes, and benefiting the ICA Food Shelf. The festivities kick off at Tuttle's Eat, Bowl, Play at 3 p.m., where the clatter of pins intermingles with the strains of belted carols and clink of glasses. Periodic shuttles escort revelers through the next four bars, ending at 9 p.m. at The Hopkins Tavern, at which crawlers can horde tickets to win raffle prizes. Pints of Miller Lite and UV Vodka mixed drinks flow at each location for $2.50 apiece during the six-hour crawl. All comers are encouraged to dress up in their favorite holiday apparel, donning Santa suits, sporting reindeer horns, or fashioning robes out of popcorn garlands.

With the rapid advance of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, the rhetoric the Obama administration is using to describe the danger the group poses to the United States has escalated.
A top national security adviser to President Obama said the United States was "not going to be restricted by borders" to protect its interests, including possibly pursuing direct military action in Syria.
A host of outside factors, from an officer's perception of a threat to the suspect's behavior and even his size, can emerge as mitigating or damning.
The shootings were similar — an unarmed black man killed by the police — but efforts by the department and local leaders in Los Angeles led to less violence than in Missouri.
The swift return of more than 260 trucks that delivered food and medicine to Luhansk appeared to be a public relations victory for President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

Guardian review
the guardian Sat 15 November 2008
When Tony Benn retired from the House of Commons in 2001, he claimed it was to "devote more time to politics". According to Peter Oborne, such drollery points to an uncomfortable truth. Political editor and columnist Oborne devotes this book to unmasking the "political class", defined as Whitehall careerists who have chiselled away the once-rigorous codes of public life to protect their own interests. Moreover, they don't write thank-you notes, and Tony Blair once walked off with a rally organiser's umbrella in a rainstorm. All the standards of anti-New Labour rhetoric are here - Tuscan holidays, cronyism - but the force of Oborne's disapproval transforms the clichés, especially when he argues that the corridors of power have become a "politically androgynous zone", where the gap is no longer between left and right but between politicians and an increasingly disillusioned public. While it's hard to believe the past was so rosily decent, it is exhilarating to read such a serious, fearless tirade, delivered with the flair of somebody with their dander up.

Appliance World confirmed today that it is permanently closing its three area locations in Brookfield, Greenfield and Germantown.
One of the area's most recognizable retail stores, the appliance retailer locked its doors Sunday and told its employees the company's future and ownership was in doubt, though it had left open the possibility the stores could reopen under new management and ownership.
But in a statement issued through My In-House Agency today to media outlets, owner Ed Aumann set aside any hope.
"The economic conditions of the past several years have been too much to overcome," Aumann said in the news release. "I would like to thank all of our customers and employees for their support and patronage over the past half century."
Aumann said Appliance World, in business in Southeastern Wisconsin for more than 56 years, closed at behest of its secured lender, GE Capital Solutions. Assets have been surrendered to the bank.
However, consumer appliances which have been identified to prepaid customer deposits were specifically excluded from the bank's voluntary surrender agreement. Customers anticipating delivery can make arrangements to pick up or accept delivery of their appliances by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

UNH's season ends in national tournament
Senior Denise Beliveau matched a season-high 24 points and the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team erased an early 13-point deficit, but the Wildcats fell to Holy Cross, 63-59, in the first round of the Women's Basketball Invitational Thursday evening at the Hart Center in Worcester, Mass.
New Hampshire wraps up the season at 16-14 overall, marking its best win total since the 2001-02 season.
Beliveau shot 9-18 from the floor, adding eight rebounds and five steals, while sophomore Kelsey Hogan recorded 16 points, six rebounds and three assists. Junior Morgan Frame rounded out the trio of double-digit scorers with 11 points and freshman Ariel Gaston posted a game-high five assists.
As a team, the Wildcats shot 39 percent from the floor, including a 48.4 percent clip in the second half, while the Crusaders shot 35.9 percent from the field.
Holy Cross raced out to an early 6-0 lead before Frame knocked down at short jumper at the 16:52 mark, cutting the deficit to four, but the Crusaders answered right back with a five straight for the nine-point advantage.
The Wildcats managed to get to the charity stripe early in the half but could not counter the sharpshooting efforts of the Crusaders as the home side held a 19-6 lead with 9:10 left to play in the opening stanza. After the teams swapped back-to-back 3-pointers, the Wildcats slowly chipped away at the lead, using an 8-3 run to pull within 25-17 with 4:50 remaining. Junior Jilliane Friel backboned the spurt with a key 3-pointer, while Beliveau added four consecutive points in the stretch.
The teams exchanged baskets over the next three minutes until Beliveau hit a trey from the corner, trimming the lead to eight, but Emily Parker responded with a conventional 3-point play on the other end for the 34-23 lead.
Nevertheless, UNH had the final possession of the half and Gaston flipped in a buzzer-beating finger roll as time expired to pull UNH within nine, 34-25, at intermission. Beliveau led the Wildcats with nine points in the opening 20 minutes, while Hogan and Friel added five points apiece.
After Holy Cross kicked off the second half with a quick bucket, UNH reeled off ten straight points over the next four minutes to climb back within one, 36-35. Beliveau headlined the span with six points, while Hogan and Frame also added low post baskets.
Holy Cross broke up its four-minute scoreless stretch with a pair of free throws, but UNH kept up the attack with back-to-back buckets as Beliveau's turnaround jumper pushed visitors on top, 39-38, for their first lead of the game. The Crusaders stormed back with consecutive baskets, but Hogan went on to drill a 3-pointer and even up the score at 42-42 with 12:50 remaining.
The Crusaders took back the lead with five straight points, but Beliveau scored UNH's next seven points for the 50-49 deficit at the 6:47 mark.
From there, the teams swapped buckets and trips to the free throw line over the next four minutes, with Holy Cross coming out on top, 57-52. Frame cut the lead to three on the next possession on a post lay-in, but the Crusaders hit all six of their free throws down the stretch, countering a late 3-pointer by Hogan to seal the four-point victory.
This marks the final game for seniors Beliveau, Abigail LaRosa and Kelley Flynn. Beliveau ends her Wildcat career ranked sixth in scoring (365), fourth in rebounding (843) and third in steals (201).

Looking to be ready for his 18th NBA season, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Steve Nash says he won't take any time off as he tries to shake the hip injury that bugged him throughout this year, Mark Medina of L.A. Daily News reports.
With the Lakers being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs, Nash is already looking ahead to being healthy next season at 39 years old. The two-time MVP missed 32 games this season with a number of ailments and looked noticeably limited when he was able to play against San Antonio.
The good news is that Nash doesn't believe he will need any surgical procedures to get back to full health, so the Lakers will likely have at least one of their future Hall of Fame guards on the court at the beginning of next season. He thinks he can be "100 percent" within a month, giving him ample time to prepare for next season.
In his debut season with L.A., Nash averaged 12.7 points and 6.7 assists in 32.5 minutes per game. He was still an elite shooter, knocking down 50 percent of his shots from the field, 44 percent from beyond the arc and 92 percent at the free throw line.
