An apartment fire late Monday night resulted in one man being sent to the hospital after he was alerted by neighbors.
The Chattanooga Fire Department received the alarm at 9:38 p.m. and responded to Rainbow Creek Apartments at 7604 Standifer Gap Road with six fire companies.
Details are still sketchy on what happened initially, but Captain Anthony Moore with the Fire Investigation Division said several people noticed smoke coming from the resident's apartment. When they banged on the front door and got no response, they threw rocks at the bedroom window on the second floor. When they eventually broke the window with one of the rocks, the resident evidently woke up and came out. The same people who woke the 24-year-old man up then carried in portable fire extinguishers and put out most of the fire, which was located in the kitchen.
Chattanooga firefighters arrived moments later and finished putting the fire out. The loss was estimated at $20,000.
The man living in the apartment showed signs of experiencing minor exposure to the smoke. Hamilton County EMS transported the victim to Erlanger East for observation. Other people may have been in the apartment during the fire, but who or how many is not known at this time.
The cause of the fire has been ruled accidental. Captain Moore said the fire appears to have been started by food being left unattended on the stove.

President pleads for caning youth
Saturday 09 April 1994
White House aides said yesterday that Mr Clinton wrote to the Singapore president on Tuesday urging that Fay, 18, not be caned. The aides said the White House would not make the letter public because it was a personal communication between the two heads of state.
Fay was sentenced on 3 March to six strokes of the cane, four months in jail and a fine of pounds 1,350 for spray-painting cars and other offences, a sentence which Mr Clinton previously called 'extreme'.
But Fay got little sympathy yesterday in his hometown of Kettering, Ohio, where a poll found residents backing the lash nearly two-to-one.
'If Michael Fay was my son, I'd cane the hell out of him myself,' one resident told the Dayton Daily News, which conducted a call-in telephone poll on the issue.
Of 2,270 people who called the newspaper, 1,442 approved of the caning while 828 did not.
'If we had caning here in American schools, I bet children would listen to the adults and have respect for them. I say go for it]' a woman caller told the newspaper.

Us Weekly -- Bradley Cooper partied hard in two "Hangover" films -- something he was all too familiar with in his 20s.
Appearing on the cover of the Sept. 14 issue of The Hollywood Reporter, the "Words" actor, now 37, opens up about his decision to get sober at age 29. "I don't drink or do drugs at all anymore," the actor reveals. "Being sober helps a great deal."
PHOTOS: Celebrities with addiction issues
At one of his lowest points, Cooper recalls, "I was at a party and deliberately bashed my head on the concrete floor -- like, 'Hey, look how tough I am!' And I came up, and blood dripped down. And then I did it again. I spent the night at St. Vincent's Hospital with a sock of ice, waiting for them to stitch me up."
PHOTOS: Memorable star meltdowns
Cooper attributes his problems with drugs and alcohol to feeling insecure as he struggled to kick-start his acting career. "I was so concerned what you thought of me, how I was coming across, how I would survive the day. I always felt like an outsider," he explains.
"I just lived in my head. I realized I wasn't going to live up to my potential, and that scared the hell out of me. I thought, 'Wow, I'm actually gonna ruin my life; I'm really gonna ruin it.'"
PHOTOS: Bradley Cooper's love life
Though friends attempted to help Cooper realize he had a problem, "Part of me believed it, and part of me didn't," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "But the proof was in the pudding: I'd always gotten up at the crack of dawn, and that was out the window. I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs, and I thought, 'What's happening?'"
"The Words" is in theaters on Friday.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia says the seven-hour procedures to separate Allison and Amelia Tucker were completed Wednesday afternoon. The twins are from Adams, New York. They shared their chest wall, diaphragm, pericardium and liver. Officials had said they were "excellent candidates" for separation. Lead surgeon Holly Hedrick says the complex surgery "went very well and as expected." She says the twins will be monitored closely during their recovery and should be able to live "full, healthy and independent lives." Officials say the surgery was the 21st separation of conjoined twins performed at the hospital.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Philadelphia Airport
Served Its Purpose
I stayed at the Hilton Airport the night before a morning flight out of Philadelphia Airport. For the purpose I was using the hotel it was an excellent value. I paid $89, which included a Friday night stay, shuttle back and forth to the airport, and seven nights of parking- you can't bet that value in the area. The room was nice, basic, but clean and comfortable. The shuttle ran every 20 minutes from the hotel to airport. When I arrived back I called the Hilton and a shuttle was sent right over to pick us up. The shuttle driver also dropped us off right in front of our car. I will definitely stay at the Hilton every time I fly out of Philadelphia!
It really wasn't that bad!
We stayed at this hotel on July 9th as part of a group, so I didn't bother to check the reviews until the night before we left (usually I rely heavily on tripadvisor reviews). After reading some of them, I started calling other places, but we decided to stay there because that was where everyone else in the group would be. It really was fine. The rooms are on the small side, but they certainly weren't dirty or dingy like some of the other reviewers commented. The bathroom had been remodeled with lots of granite, but they just put the granite over the existing tile, which resulted in a smaller shower. They compensated for this by adding one of those shower curtain rods that bows out. The weird thing was that they didn't go over all of the tile, so some of the old tile by the bathroom door was still visible. The Ritz-Carlton this is not.
The service was better than I expected. We checked in very quickly, and had a bellman immediately. They brought the cot for our son within minutes of our arrival, and when I asked for extra towels, they were also there within 5 minutes. Similarly, room service brought a nice kids meal to our son within 20 minutes.
I wouldn't want to stay here on an extended vacation, but it was fine for a night (or two if you must). The price was $59 for the group rate, and you can't get much cheaper than that for a motel.
This Hotel is the Pits!!! Don't Go!
What a difference the rooms are in this hotel from the Lobby! I have to agree with the other person who wrote felt like the Twilight Zone! You step into the elevator from a lovely lobby and transported to a cheap motel including the moldy smell! Will never go to a Hilton again. Thanking God it was only one night! Rooms filthy, bedding filthy, and lets not even mention the bathroom!
Where are these reviews coming from???....
I have stayed several times at this hotel before early morning flights most recently April of 2005. I've never had an issue w/ the rooms not being cleaned nor with the shuttle not being available. I can't imagine all these people having the same problem and me staying there probably 5 times within the last year and never having an issue.
The staff has always been curteous and helpful. The shuttle drivers come promptly when called. And lastly the rooms were cleaned and well cared for.
Everytime I have stayed at this hotel I have booked through priceline and saved a fortune off rack rates.
Look for an alternative
This hotel is completely run down. I stayed at the Sheraton Suites across the street a previous stay. I thought I'd try this Hilton for comparison. Low value for your money.
I travel all over the U.S.... thought I'd treat myself to a Hilton
I travel all over the U.S. I generally stay with Extended Stay/ Homestead Studio Suites due to the conviences of fridge & micro. laundry facilites. This trip I thought I would treat myself to a "Hilton". Bad choice. Filthy rooms (doors cruddy, bathroom with scattered hairs & string. Toenail clippings on carpet, there for 3 days (not mine) I had to ask that they come back & vaccum. Cleaning staff, do not clean (do not show up to clean; tell you that they only have 10 mins to clean your room,"leaving soon" and also "we are so backed up, can we clean tomorrow"?) I purchased my own cleaning supplies. It was like being in the Twilight Zone. The foyer is comfortable & inviting. Take the elevators up and you're transported to Bottom of the Barrel Inn. Management was embarrassed, gave me 1 night cost off my bill. Promised next visit would be better. I'd never go back, it was that bad.
A dump!
This place is a dump. It's tired, not clean, and just dreary. You'd be much better off staying at the Sheraton Suites across the way. Surprised it's a Hilton. Bad.
Van service & Rooms terrible
We stayed here one night for an early flight the next AM. Won't stay here again. Asked for a room with a view of the planes landing, same floor, same type room, charged me an extra $79 on top of the $112 I already paid. The room was not very nice, the bathroom door didn't even shut all the way because it was misaligned on the door frame.
We were told on the phone that the shuttle ran 24 hours and when we got there they told us it didn't start until 4AM. We had to be at the airport at that time. When we came back from our trip we called for the shuttle to take us back to the Hilton and he drove right by us. He looked over at us standing in front of the sign that said Hotel Shuttle, I waved, he kept going. We waited 10 mins for him to come back around, but he never did and I had to call once a again. After all the other passengers had been picked up by their hotel shuttles, 45 minutes later the van driver shows up, opens the door while still seated in the drivers seat, doesn't get out to help us with our 2 bags, doesn't say a single word to us. All he did was munch on an apple and speed the entire way back to the hotel. We were livid. We didn't tip him because of his attitude. I will never stay at this hotel again and I will tell everyone not to stay there. Bad experience.
As Airport Hotels Go, This One's Pretty Good
The public areas are nice, the pool (indoors) seemed in good shape. The restaurant was uneven, but the staff was quite helpful. The room was very well-kept. In short, no problems whatsoever.
Van driver couldn't care less
On a recent saturday evening we waited for 50 minutes at the airport for pickup. We made three calls to the hotel and each time they said another van would be there promptly. There were over 15 people waiting at my stop. Once we arrived the manger was indifferent. She said a driver had left early. They don't care.

Immigration targets go beyond numbers
C anada has done a remarkable job of attracting new immigrants from around the world to offset the brewing demographic storm sparked by an aging population and a declining birth rate.

Canada has done a remarkable job of attracting new immigrants from around the world to offset the brewing demographic storm sparked by an aging population and a declining birth rate.
But meeting the settlement needs of this wave of immigrants in order to ensure they have the opportunity to lead productive lives here is far more questionable.
The country opened its doors to 1.2 million newcomers between 2001 and 2006, pushing Canada's population growth rate to a level higher than any other G-8 country, according to new census figures released last week by Statistics Canada.
Over the same period, our native-born population climbed by only a modest 400,000.
And if these trends continue, immigration may be Canada's sole source for population growth by 2030.
Half of those new immigrants came to Ontario, where the population increased by 6.6 per cent or 750,000 people. Of those, 600,000 were newcomers.
Once here, most of them settled in the Golden Horseshoe area, now home to 8.1 million people, or one-quarter of all Canadians.
And the impact of immigration is felt just as strongly in the regions surrounding Toronto as in the city itself. The regions of Peel, Halton, York and Durham now house as many immigrants as Toronto. A great number of these people are low-income earners, not just the affluent immigrants who in past decades preferred to live in these areas.
Despite our growing need for immigrants, though, Canada does not always offer a warm welcome to these newcomers.
Many white-collar professionals wait for years to have their credentials recognized. Their talents go unused because too many of Ontario's 34 regulated professions throw huge barriers in the way of qualified foreign-trained applicants, denying them the chance to practise their skills in fields which the province desperately needs.
In the meantime, they must struggle to hold two or three part-time jobs in order to pay the rent and feed their families.
At the same time, they face language barriers, racial discrimination and an insistence on "Canadian experience."
Given the increasing importance of immigration to the country's future, Canada must do more to welcome these needed immigrants or risk losing them to other countries. As University of Toronto demographics expert David Foot put it: "Just bringing in immigrants and dropping them down in Canada is not sufficient."
To start addressing this issue, Prime Minister Stephen Harper must first recognize that the Golden Horseshoe is the destination of the largest percentage of immigrants in the country. Because of that he should make more money available for immigrant settlement in the area.
Under a $920 million deal signed with the previous Liberal government, Ontario will receive $3,400 in immigrant settlement money for each newcomer by 2011. But the province still gets less than Quebec, which receives $4,000 for each immigrant, an amount expected to increase by 2011.
Due to the limited funding from the federal government, Ontario has been struggling to meet the settlement needs of newcomers to this province. Those needs include housing, skills upgrading and career and employment assistance.
To their credit, the federal Conservatives have pledged to create a new agency to help foreign professionals integrate into the workforce. But so far, money has only been committed to consultations on the idea of such an agency.
In the coming years, Ottawa will continue to encourage immigrants to come to Ontario.
In fact, the federal government has this year set the most aggressive increase for its annual immigration target in 15 years, aiming to accept up to 265,000 newcomers. That's an increase of 5.2 per cent over last year.
But that target is meaningless unless steps are taken to properly integrate the future newcomers who will be so critical for the growth and prosperity of this country. In the past, Canada has failed far too many immigrants. That must end.
The census trends are a stark reminder that simply letting immigrants come to Canada is not enough. We must open the door wide and embrace them fully.

Shutdown affects Kanc bathroom breaks
Nearly a dozen rest room cabins along the "Kanc" are closed due to the federal government shutdown because there is no one working to clean them, and that, according to Ray Turmelle of Barringson, is causing — well — inconvenience.
"Went to the mountains today and the mass of visitors, including several buses, were everywhere. If anyone had to go to the rest room, I have attached two photos of what they saw."
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service facility is currently closed due to the lapse in federal government funding, and health and safety concerns resulting from our inability to perform daily maintenance. The facility will reopen once Congress restores funding."
But a spokesman at the White Mountains Attractions Association, which promotes tourism for the region, said the lack of open Kanc facilities should not, and has not, stopped tourists from visiting during foliage season, and probably won't have any negative impact on tourism this weekend or on the upcoming big Columbus Day weekend.
"And once they get over to civilization on the other side, there are plenty of rest rooms there," she said.
"We tell them the White Mountains are open for business," she said.
While they are closed, she noted that the campgrounds along scenic roadway are open because they are operated by a private vendor.
Unlike the monuments and memorials in Washington, the government can't put a barricade around the national forest.
Cowan did note, however, that the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, which is operated by the National Parks Service, is closed.

Title: Offer to send Bumelia to Kansas from Central Texas.
Answered by: Joe Marcus
QUESTION:If you send my email to the person who wanted the Bumelia lanuginosa (synonym: Sideroxylon langinosum), I will dig some for him/her.
Your offer is much-appreciated. However, the subspecies of Bumelia that occurs in Kansas is not the same as those that occur in Central Texas - Sideroxylon lanuginosum ssp. oblongifolium in Kansas and S. l. ssp. albicans and S. l. ssp. rigidum in Texas. Because the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to promoting the use and appreciation of native plants in their native regions it would be a violation of our mission to facilitate or encourage that.
Finally, Central Texas Bumelia are afflicted with a blight-type disorder that we would not want to see spread to populations of trees in other parts of the country if they are not so afflicted already.

Spreading the Fire
Spreading of secrets all around town
Will not build up can only tear down
Striking of words with such heavy blows
When someone gets hit everybody knows
Destroys everything that lies in its wakes
The costs are high whatever the stakes
Those who practice it always seem to win
Whatever the reason gossip is still a sin
Can be very deadly no good it ever is
No respecter of gender not a hers nor a his
Stay far away and keep it out of your lives
With no fuel in the fire gossip never thrives

'Killer Karaoke,' pain for ears and eyes
TruTV reality series puts contestants through various tortures
November 19, 2012
Though television in general has gotten noisier over the past few decades, some types of shows are particularly annoying when someone in the next room is watching them — for example, tween comedies, pro wrestling and stunt-oriented game shows.
Not coincidentally, they're also annoying when you're watching them yourself.
TruTV's new game show "Killer Karaoke" is deliberately cacophonous, and the entertainment value doesn't make up for the noise pollution. What's more, although we've been desensitized by years of painful stunts on reality TV, most viewers will feel twinges of guilt for laughing at the pain and humiliation the contestants are put through. Despite the occasional chuckles, the show is basically a guilty displeasure.
Premiering this Friday, Nov. 23, at 9 p.m., "Killer Karaoke" is hosted by Steve-O, a star of MTV's don't-try-this-at-home series "Jackass." In each show, six contestants try to sing karaoke favorites while being subjected to various "Jackass"-style tribulations meant to hurt, frighten or disgust them.
For example, the first contestant, a young woman named Melissa who is identified as a preacher's daughter from Texas, tries to sing A-ha's "Take On Me" while being dipped into a pool of frigid water into which stagehands dump buckets of snakes and small alligators.
Before she starts, Steve-O utters the show's catch phrase: "No matter what happens, do not stop singing." She does her best, but the line "I'll be gone" comes out as "I'll be so gone — oh, my God!"
Each contestant is initially paired off with another. Melissa competes against a young man from Georgia named Michael, who is forced to sing the Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man" while pretending to be a waiter in a Mexican restaurant serving Steve a meal. To make this hard, he is hooked to electrodes that gives shocks that, according to Steve, "range from mild to very spicy."
Most viewers will laugh along as Michael lurches back and forth to Steve's table, dropping platters of tortillas and trays of drinks. But sometimes the pain seems too real to be funny.
Fortunately, the contestants are so animated and glib that one starts to suspect they're would-be actors or singers who would do anything for some airtime and thus probably deserve what they're getting.
After each pair-off, the audiences pick a winner, and then the process is repeated with four other contestants. The final challenge is prosaic: The three finalists get on a giant spinning turntable and sing Blondie's "One Way or Another."
The last one thrown off can win up to $10,000, depending on how long he remains on the turntable. In this case, the winner gets only $5500.
Although such reality competitions as "Survivor," "Fear Factor" and "The Chair" have put contestants through mental or physical anguish, the payoff is usually a lot higher. Having stepped into a pile of maggots or had their chest waxed, some contestants still go home with nothing.
Steve-O is a good choice as host. He tells one contestant, "I would never do anything to you that's worse than the things I've done to myself." As he stares in amazement at the contestants' plight, he seems driven more by curiosity than by cruelty.
After each segment, Steve delivers a recap. Since these bits are obviously recorded after the live taping, they should be cleverer.
At an hour, the show is simply too long. The producers already seem to be running out of ideas for new forms of torment: Alligators and scorpions each appear in two different segments; snakes appear in three.
A little "Killer Karaoke" should be enough for most viewers. More than an hour would be torture.

Super vacation spot. Great location!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Lilyhaven, joined by a daughter, son-in-law and toddler, plus another adult daughter and her boyfriend. Each bedroom had its own bathroom with plenty of towels and toiletries. The house was spacious, spotless, and extremely well-equipped -- an important factor for us as we enjoyed cooking/grilling/eating in most evenings once our (exhausted!) grandson was in bed. We loved the sitting area in the kitchen with double doors that opened onto the little deck and back garden. What a pleasure to sit there watching the hummingbirds and butterflies -- not to mention the avocados falling from the tree!! We especially appreciated little details including very clear instructions for finding the lockbox, how to work the coffee maker, WiFi, nearby supermarkets etc. The house is super-convenient -- walking distance from town and easy on/off Rte 101. A five-star experience all round!
Guestbook Comment
12 adults and 10 kids. We had great fun with the extended family (a group of 6 families) Had long walks on the beach and kids had a blast building complicated sand structures on the beach and roaring fies at night. We enjoyed staying in this house wall its amentias as well and its close proximity to the beach. We had a fantastic time celebrating the 25th anniversary of members of our adopted family and made wonderful memories. We are about to leave but we already cannot wait for another chance to stay her.

Nowadays, the vast majority of video games, even when not pure action games, include fighting enemies on the way. There may be a lot of weak ones or a few tough ones, they may be humans or monsters, you may kill them half-heartedly or with great enjoyment but they will be on your path to prevent you from Saving the World, rescuing the Damsel in Distress, finding your lost memories or eating your pizza. And at some points, you will have to fight big enemies, much more fearsome and dangerous than the others (or not�) with an appropriate tension buildup. But some games go around this. Even though you fight your way through numerous Mooks and death traps, no climactic battle against a boss ever comes. There can be several ways to explain and/or compensate the absence of bosses:
open/close all folders
Action Adventure
First Person Shooters
Puzzle Game
Rail Shooter
Role Playing Games
Survival Horror
Third Person Shooters

As ABC's The View continues its game of musical host chairs, Donald Trump turned to Twitter to share his thoughts on the news that Rosie O'Donnell would be reclaiming her spot on the ABC daytime talk show.
Tweeted Trump: "Rosie is crude, rude, obnoxious and dumb - other than that I like her very much!"
In 2006, O'Donnell and Trump engaged in a war of harsh words when the comedian chastised the 'Apprentice' host for refusing to fire Miss USA Tara Conner from the pageant he runs after she admitted to substance abuse. O'Donnell called Trump a "snake-oil salesman." Trump responded by calling her "fat" and "out of control."
Last week, former 'View' co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck called into FOX & Friends to air her frustrations on the news of Rosie's return, saying the comedian has "spit on the face of military" and "spit in the face of her own network."
Stay tuned...
