Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
Matilda is the never-mentioned child of The Doctor.Now then, most Time Lord related WMGs are jokes, but this is actually quite logical. Lets start with the obvious (and remember, the Cartmel Masterplan is not canon in the show proper, unless that is what they're building up to now). The Doctor had a granddaughter, but his child itself is never mentioned. Now then, why would that be? Well, if he accidentally abandoned her somewhere, or perhaps one of his actions caused her to be lost, he might just not want to bring her up. It would also explain why, after stealing an old TARDIS and taking his granddaughter with him, he went to 20th Century Earth. The TARDIS, knowing all of reality hinged on him needing to be in the 1960s, not the 1990s or 2000s, landed him a bit off course for what would be the first of many, many times, and he just acted like it was intentional because, well, who wants to admit to their granddaughter that they have no clue how to fly the most important piece of their species' technology? It would also explain Matilda's psychic powers. We know that Time Lords have psychic powers, and they can be amplified to the point of reality manipulation, so it seems that a child of The Doctor would, in a time of great enough stress, likely be able to go beyond where most Time Lords can go.
Matilda went to Academy City to further improve her telekinetic powers.
Matilda is a witch.When witches and wizards are young, they often cause magical things to happen when under stress or pressure. Matilda's telekinetic powers were a result of this.
Matilda is a Muggle-born witch.Doubt me? Re-watch the movie with this in mind. In the movie, her powers can easily be seen as underage magic and look quite similar to it. They are activated and amplified with emotion and require practice to learn and control. Matilda would be a very powerful witch to have such control at such a young age, which is shown to be very possible from Tom Riddle and Lily Evans-Potter. Tom also shows us that wandless magic is the most common, if not the only option, for children who haven�t purchased their own wands yet.
The Trunchbull committed suicide.It was said she was never seen again after her Humiliation Conga.
Matilda's "eye-power" never was telekinesis (only works for the book).It was hypnosis. Let's break down every incident where she uses it:
Matilda has the Sharingan.
Matilda takes place in the same universe as Carrie.
Matilda takes place in the same universe as Looper.Matilda is TK and is Cid's grandmother.
The reason why the Trunchbull says she was never a child......was because she had a horribly traumatic childhood she'd like to forget about.
Cars aren't all Miss Trunchbull buys from Mr. Wormwood...she also buys steroids from him. The way she is described, it is clear that she abuses steroids. Mr. Wormwood in the end gets arrested for being mixed up in some sort of illegal activity which isn't named. It's very possible that he was selling drugs, including selling steroids to Miss Trunchbull.
Zinnia knew that Matilda was a gifted child
Matilda's telekinesis was only half of what got Trunchbull.Magnus' ghost did the rest and used Matilda's power as a smoke screen. The Chalkboard and Picture were the big examples of his haunting contributions.
Matilda is a Diclonius
Matilda is a homo superior.She just hasn't discovered telepathy or jaunting yet.

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina man celebrated out-eating some police officers, only to find out that he couldn't outrun them.
The Camden County Sheriff's Office had been looking for 24-year-old Bradley Herbert Hardison of Elizabeth City in connection with two break-ins.
Authorities arrested Hardison on Wednesday, one day after he won the adult division of a doughnut-eating contest at the Elizabeth City Police Department's National Night Out Against Crime. Hardison ate eight doughnuts in two minutes, beating a group that included local police officers and firefighters.
In addition to the Camden County charges, Hardison is charged in Pasquotank County with felony larceny and breaking and entering. It's not known whether he has an attorney.

In the mist of the troubling moments surrounding Paterson, New Jersey they still manage to move forward in the best positive ways possible.
This past Friday I attended Rosa Parks High School to watch the play " HAM " written by historic writer Langston Hughes and it was a very uptempo & enjoyable play. One of the actors in the play is John F. Kennedy high school point guard Alphonso Gee Who had an exceptional year last season for the John F. Kennedy High School Knights Basketball team. Alphonso led the team to the finals of their county tournament and to the state sectional semi-finals. He averaged 22.4 ppg and has surpassed the 1000 point career total as only a sophomore.
Not only is Alphonso won player of the year for the JFK Knight, he also is a young man of many talents who brings smiles to the faces of those who follow him on social media & in person. Alphonso's role in the play this past Friday was played as Gilbert and he was a perfect fit for that role and also played another role showing off his dance moves in one of the scenes during the play. ( the crowed was enjoying every moment of it lol )
Now, even though Alphonso is very young he is full of spirit, positive energy & very talented at all the things he does to keep a smile on peoples faces. In moments like this paterson, New Jersey must keep their eyes on more positive young people such as the gentleman Alphonso Gee who gives his city something positive and entertaining to look forward to. I myself will be keeping an eye out on this young man because he is the future and he is doing what he is suppose to be doing right now to insure he becomes something bigger in the future.
spread Peace always,
Joe V.

I am the forced bi phone sex Mistress of your wettest dreams. I am Mistress Annaliese. You will beg and pester me for a chance at being cock-broken, or I won't believe that you're really sincere about the force aspect of my making you suck other mens' cocks. If anyone's going to be seduced, it'll be me, into turning you into my personal homosexual cuckold who I will pimp out for money. You will beg, plead, whimper, and even pay me exorbitant amounts of money during our financial charity fantasy games, in order to convince me to push your pathetic faces down the thick, long shafts of my very well hung, lovers. Of course they're bulls, what the hell else would you expect? If I think you're worthy of my bulls' big juicy cocks, I will start training you with my wide selection of strap-on cocks, where you'll learn to love having your asses and your throats filled with hot cock-flesh.
Of course I'll start slowly and gently, with my teensy-weensy little lubricated 5 inch latex strap-on cock, but I will eventually work my way up to sodomizing your nasty bottoms with my King-Kong 12 incher. I'll pull your big round butt-cheeks apart with my beautiful French-manicured hands as I slowly, gently, nudge the greasy rubber head of my strap-on against your nervous, twitching sphincters. Once I have you craving my bigger strap-ons filling your behinds as well as your throats, I will then be introducing you to my beautifully hung bisexual bulls' cocks. Forced bi phone sex Mistress will be more about you're begging for a chance to suck and swallow my virile lovers to completion. Of course there'll be no condoms involved, silly men. *smirks knowingly* Sensual domination will have never tasted sweeter than that first, thick frothy load that one of my bulls injects into your mouth. By this time you'll know that you won't swallow anything until I give you express permission to. Now, pick up your phones, punch in the number, and very politely ask our dispatchers for Mistress Annaliese. *winks*

La Spinetta Barolo Garretti 2010
La Spinetta - Piedmont - Italy - Barolo
Professional Wine Reviews for La Spinetta Barolo Garretti 2010Additional information »
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Nebbiolo grapes have been grown for centuries in the hilly region of northern Italy, and have more recently started to appear in many New World countries, too, where modern vintners have expressed great enthusiasm for their fine characteristics. Their fame and popularity is widely known, and the Nebbiolo varietal is recognized as the grape responsible for producing the legendary fine wines of Italy. Indeed, this grape is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, ranging from truffle and prune, to tobacco and violets, making the wines they produce a sensory delight which simply get better the longer they are aged. The grapes also lend a beautifully pale red color to their wines, which helped secure their place as some of the finest and most elegant to be found anywhere on earth.
n Italy, the region most closely associated with excellent quality red wines and characterful sparkling wines is Piedmont. This alpine region is located in the north-west of the country, and features beautiful foothills of the impressive mountain range which forms the nearby border between Italy, France and Switzerland. Wineries in Piedmont work with the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which thrive in the warm, dry summers and cooler autumns, as well as the beautifully expressive Moscato grapes which are used for the sparkling Asti wines the region is famed for. For generations, these wineries have perfected the art of aging their red wines, and blending grape varietals to get the most out of each one, leading to a region known all over the world for the exceptional quality of its produce.
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
There are few wine producing countries in the world quite as famous or loved as Italy, and within Italy, one small region seems to stand head and shoulders above all others. The hilly, misty sub-region of Barolo is home to many of Italy's finest traditional wineries, and it enjoys a reputation for excellence and quality unmatched by any other place in the country. The secret to Barolo's success is down to the mineral rich soils and cool, foggy climatic conditions which allow the Nebbiolo grape to grow so well, and express so much flavor and complexity. As such, the red wines of Barolo have become a benchmark for high quality, traditionally made and bottled Italian wines, and are dearly loved all around the world.

Agave plant to produce 1 and only bloom, then die
An 80-year-old American agave plant that will flower once then die is about to do the former.
Associated Press
An 80-year-old American agave plant that will flower once then die is about to do the former.
Housed at the University of the Michigan since 1934, the plant has grown so rapidly since the spring that at more than 27 feet it is now too tall for the Ann Arbor conservatory, which has had to remove a pane of glass to accommodate it.
Just this week, one of the asparagus cousin's flower buds took on an orange-like blush. Could that mean the buds are ready to finally bloom?
"We've been guessing and speculating about when this particular agave is going to bloom for weeks and have been proven wrong every time," said Joe Mooney, spokesman for Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum.
The agave began to shoot upward in April, at which point a volunteer pointed out a flower stalk to Matthaei horticulture manager Mike Palmer.
"And I went, 'Whaaat?'" Palmer said.
Since then, it has grown as much as 6 inches a day and forced workers to remove the glass to make room for its rapid ascent. Palmer called the pre-branching version of the plant "a giant asparagus on steroids."
The variegated American agave (Agave americana) was collected in Mexico by famed ethno-botanist Alfred Whiting, who then was a University of Michigan graduate student. Known as the century plant because it blooms infrequently, it is native to Mexico and the American Southwest and typically lives 10 to 25 years in the wild before blooming a single time then dying.
It's a mystery why this particular agave stuck around for eight decades, Palmer said.
"We don't know why it waited so long," he said.
While many know agave as the source of tequila, that particular beverage is made from the tequila agave (Agave tequilana). In areas of Mexico where tequila is produced, the American agave is used to make a similar alcoholic drink called mezcal. The American agave's fibers also can be gathered from within the leaves and used for making rope or twine.
Once the flower blooms it will take many months before the plant dies. But in the plant's final throes, it is expected to produce "pups," or genetic clones that look the same as the parent plant, from which Matthaei officials can propagate the species.
"If we can get even one pup, we'll plant it," Mooney said.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 387 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by jetpun Good in facilities, average at service This is my first stay in W Hotel, I feel this is still a good stay.. Facilities & in room: all the things go good but just some minor things in washroom, the cleaning should more focus on detail (e.g. some face washing cream on the wooden container). I don't know may be I cannot truly understand what W service standard is. I cannot feel I got a warm welcome, from the first step to the hotel. I would focus on service more than facilities in a stay. In a certified service auditor point of view to rate this hotel. I really do think the service need to be improved. I can see the service different between walking in the hotel and drop off taxi from hotel, Chinese(I am) and Foreigner when check out, that makes me feel disappointed. Although all good, I may not come next time as this may not a right style type I am looking for April 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by silverfoxtravel make sure the bar is closed The hotel was great, unfortunately the two guests staying in the rooms across the hall from me, (I was in 2507) they were drunk, yelling in the hallways form around 4 am until 5 am, spoke with them several times..the next morning I did speak with the floor manager who was on duty, she explained that according to security that night there were several guests who were escorted upstairs, but they weren't aware of the problem until I mentioned it. I was happy that they left the next day but was quite disruptive. I thought the manager could have handled it better. (I had inquired about breakfast that first morning, which wasn't included in my stay package plan, the least she could was to offer that to me. I also inquired about late check out for the next day, which I wound up paying a half day for.,, just a thought of professional relations. March 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jovlim Great Stay Second time visit to this hotel and returned to enjoy the great room and comfortable bed! During check in, was recommdned to upgrade room and was given a room on the top floor with great city view. Excellent stay and hotel was in close proximity to shopping malls and Taipei Metro. Love the fact that the hotel has a linked doorway with the shopping mall thus we need not be exposed to the weather. Chic hotel - will definitely visit again when next in Taipei. December 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by VisitorFromSF Wow, what a wonderful hotel! This is without a doubt my favorite hotel ever. Attentiveness to the guest sums up my experience here. From the clean design aesthetic to the "welcome back" you hear every time you cross the threshold, everything about the W Taipei is working together to make you feel like you're the center of attention. The staff is great--friendly, patient, helpful, knowledgeable. The location is great--right on top of the Taipei City Hall MRT station, you can get anywhere in the city in a flash. Within walking (or stumbling) distance are some of the most interesting cocktail lounges you could hope for, as well as outstanding local food at hundreds of stalls nearby. The uber-cool bars in the hotel attract a hip young crowd, so if you don't feel like leaving the building, you can still be social. The W Taipei is an ideal spot for an urban getaway. October 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Caspar8 First time in Taipei W is a great hotel to explore the beauty of Taiwan. Close to the 101 tower the hotel has a great bar on the 31st floor and good breakfast with great fruit juices and service. Start your day with a smile and enjoy. July 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SKJ68 One of the better W Hotels Good location, friendly staff both on G/F and on Lobby (10/F); I used a suite upgrade for one of my nights and hotel upgraded me one more level for both nights; Suite was excellent, corner room so great view from both sides, very nicely decorated and comfortable. I was craving food at 2am and had one of the best Reuben sandwiches. The bar on lobby was great fun, late night DJ party. everyone always smiles and is very friendly. Will be back for sure. July 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CatrinaLiu Excellent staff lovely atmosphere, excellent and friendly staffs!! Very nice service!! July 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ben2012 Fun and energetic hotel I had a great time staying at this property. It is fun, energetic, conveniently located, and has an atmosphere that makes you want to invite your friends over to hang out. It is right near the 101/Shin Kong Mitsukoshi area, so of course shopping and dining are no problem. Transportation is also easy as there is the MRT right below the hotel. The room I stayed in was also fantastic, with great amenities and views of the city. A few areas of improvement: - The ground floor taxi area is quite chaotic - The lifts up to the rooms sometimes smelled of sewage - Check-in process could be a little more streamlined - Staff on ground floor seemed more energetic and helpful than the staff on the lobby floor Probably not your first choice for a business hotel, but certainly where I would choose to stay for leisure. All in all a great experience. April 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KTsao Above and beyond my expectations I would like to commend Mr. Mike Han, the Welcome Manager of W Taipei, for his genuinely warm hospitality. Mr. Han went above and beyond his normal duty to ensure his guests of the most pleasant experience at the W Taipei. SPG and W Taipei are very fortunate to have Mr. Han as their representative and I was fortunate to get to know Mike. Every facet of the stay was excellent and W Taipei is my home away from home, when I can afford it, that is. ;) November 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by i0e192 Wish I could give more stars This stay at W Taipei is by far the best hotel experience I had in my exensive travels around the world staying at various 5 star hotels. Staff is young but very professionally trained giving them a blend of youthful enthusiasm and professional knowledge that is unmatched in the industry. I really wish I could gve more stars to show how good this hotel really is. If your budget allows, staying more than 3 days makes you want to stay forever. November 1, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by SEEE SEEE Thumb-ups: (1) Attentive staff helped up in our requirement (2) Perfect location for leisure and dining (3) Good recognition of SPG member Things need to be improved: (1) I am expecting an impressive lobby for SPG 6 category hotel. First floor is way too empty/ simple and 10th floor is too small (only few chairs are available) (2) Rooms are too dark for reading (3) Personally; I cannot accept an see through bathroom on certain room category November 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Flybear Very Pleasant Stay Good location, comfortable room, nice swimming pool, very friendly & helpful staff and good food. July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MBGTide05 Enjoyed my stay I stayed 2 nights at the W Taipei for business and the first thing that I noticed was the comfort of the room. The king bed was so comfortable and the room exceeded my expectations. The overall decor is more contemporary than most which is to be expected of W hotels but it provides a good atmosphere, particularly in the lounge area. I stayed here for the proximity to the office but I would recommend this for a leisure stay in Taipei as well. January 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brian Flawless except for check-in My only complaint during my stay is the fact that I specifically indicated an arrival at 3pm and used my upgrade rewards to secure a suite. However, upon check-in at 3:15pm I was first required to wait 25 min due to a computer glitch which had the wrong information on my profile and then followed by notice that I'd have to wait another hour before I could enter my room due to another guest requesting a late check-out. I completely understand that other guests may have a late check-out request, but it baffled me as to why then I was asked to specify time of arrival and use upgrade rewards only to be told I couldn't access either for at least an hour upon check in. Fortunately the manager on duty, Ms. Fletcher offered some assistance and rectified the situation. I hope that such a situation can be prevented in the future. Kind regards, Brian February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HCLin Great Hotel This is my fourth time to stayed here. All the experience were very good except check-in. Like last thursday I booked the packages but when I checked-in in the reception, no one informed me what elses benefits or couples could enjoy or give me. I have to ask the reception again and wait their long feedback. It's not the first experience, it,s my second time to suffer this situation. So good facilities alwasys require clever staffs. February 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dpyang Excellent stay Stayed at W Taipei at end of March for 5 nights. There were 4 of us; wife and 2 kids (3 years and 8 months). W Taipei was able to get us a connecting room and everything that we requested. Friendly door and speedy bell services. Check in and out was fast and easy. Excellent staffs. You have to try Away Spa, great service and value there. One of the best location in Taipei. Going back for another 5 nights soon. April 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andy Thanks for the help during my stay I myself visit your wonderful hotel regularly on business (once every 1-2 mths) ... but never get a chance to frequent your lovely amenities. In this past visit, my spouse tagged along & being relatively new to Taipei, she was treated exceptionally well by your staff who helped her w/ locating eateries, places to visit and even physically accompanied her to visit a nearby hair salon ...during the time i was tied up w/ business ... April 22, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by sp111 NA Aircon is abit erratic in the room and houskeeping also abit lacking in standard July 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by HelenaW The Best The most enthusiastic and responsive staff we have ever seen anywhere! Gracious. Efficient. Hotel is clean, modern, beautiful - excellent decor. Lunch and dinner buffets are excellent. Fitness center - the best we have seen anywhere. Everything worked. Minor issue: the concierge staff was excellent, but they did not inform us of all of the night markets available in Taiwan... they need to get that into their listings. November 21, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wongwai I left something in the room. The room is spacious, at least more spacious than the other W hotels in New York and HK. The staff is smart and kind. I've left a pack of mullet roe in the refrigerator. I've called the front desk and inform them about my careless mistake. They promised me to keep it properly in the freezer and wait for me to collect it next month. This is a very kind and nice gesture. I hope I can really get it back next month. February 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by redchen attentive staff, located convientally nice hotel, room is kinda of small but all the w's are like that. located in the center of taipei which is very convenient. had to change rooms and i left a couple things as trash but they still brought it over to our new room to make sure we didnt need it. they honored the 4 pm check out which was nice. their room service price is actually reasonable and worth it compare to other SPG hotels in greater china. January 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crystal113 Great Service of House Keeping staff Dear GM i would like to praises the staff in house keeping dept, Sasa & Elsie As i had the very important documents was lost in room, they helped me to send it to my clients directly on the next day we checked out. That is efficiently and shows enthusiastic about their work . i am highly appreciated their help and the top performers like them should be recognized and rewarded . Thanks again. April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by yaksha98 Exemplary service Unfortunately I arrived at the W Taipei with a bad cold and a fever - upon check-in Maggie at reception noticed and sent a tray of hot water, lemon, honey and orange juice to the room. Truly wonderful service! The Whatever/Whenever service was also fantastic, bringing an icepack later that evening. Despite the illness, I had a very memorable stay at the W Taipei and will surely be back, hopefully sans illness! January 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Elaine555 Service leaves to be desired I visited W Hotel Taipei recently in August 2013 after hearing so many great reviews and its convenient location. However, the service provided by the Front Desk and staff left me greatly disappointed. I had an early check-in at approximately 7 am and there was no attempts by the Front Desk staff to tell me how I can make use of the facilities etc while I wait for my room to be ready. This information was only relayed to me only when I asked. Throughout the stay, there was no attempts by the front line staff to greet the guests, In fact, many looked unapproachable. I managed to get one smile from the concierge only when I was about to leave for home. I still enjoyed the stay due to its convenient location and the clean and comfortable room. However, I expected better service from a 5 star standard hotel, especially with the W hotel branding. I guess i expected too much. August 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Audi3 SPG recognition Considering that I had stayed at W Taipei for third time, am surprised that system is not awarded of this on first check in. Furthermore, I need to provide my SPG membership before system able to recognize me and need prompting to counter staff to uncovered my previous stay record. June 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CWT1 New & Trendy This was my first time staying at W hotel. What I love is the experience W Taipei provides. Facilities are new and the interior design is chic. Besides, the staff friendliness is exactly what one would expect from Taiwanese hospitality. The major downside from my stay happened on the 2nd last night of my stay. The TV swtiched on by itself in the middle of my sleep. Needless to say,it created eerie feelings. September 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tobias1429 Staff competence It is not uncommon to find some hotel staff to be competent and friendly, but at the W the staff was, without any exception at all, outstanding at their jobs, from check-in, to food and bar service, to housekeeping, concierge and checkout. It became one of our favorite hotels after this, our first stay. Also to be complemented is the fabulous gym, with something for everyone, at every level. March 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ann126 spacious room and good room amenities good location staff are friendly, professional, young and energetic July 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KahuKamanu Hospitality During my stay from July 9-13, 2013 I felt very welcomed by the hotel staff. It was also during Typhoon Souliks recent visit through Taipei. I was impressed by the professionalism and calm from all hotel staff and their preparedness for the approaching storm. There was a sense of calm and helpfulness byh all staff members that made me calm as well and not frightened by the oncoming storm. Thank you! July 14, 2013

CABELL COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Several parents of Cabell County students say they think the school year seems to be starting sooner and sooner.
The school year begins Aug. 6 this year, and those parents say it's becoming real problem.
"We just looked at the calendar last night and realized he's only got about two weeks left," said Erin Harbour, whose son will be a second-grader at a school in Cabell County.
Other parents like Amy Bowles say rather than stocking up on school supplies, she's making those last few days at the pool count.
"It's come so fast that supplies are not even on the top of my list, to be honest with you," Bowles said.
The quick turnaround is because all schools must complete 180 school days. Since last year's harsh winter kept students off the roads and out of class, school officials are forced to put them back in school that much sooner.
"Now they're starting sports earlier. Football's starting at the end of July," Bowles said. "The kids are getting what they need."
It's a school calendar that many parents say they're not sure they want to follow.
To be fair, the county has kept its spring break intact and built in more snow days into the year in case another winter hits like this past one.

BOSTON, Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- A Massachusetts small business and law firm, Culik Law, has achieved a milestone as it celebrates its five year anniversary. To celebrate it is announcing a series of free debt help clinics with the first scheduled for Wednesday, March 26, 2014.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140127/MN52816)
Culik Law was started by Josef Culik and Shawna Culik in 2008 with the purpose of advocating for consumers and individual rights. They sought to start a firm relevant to the times which could address some of the challenges people were facing – primarily the mortgage crisis and the recession's impact on debt and credit reporting for consumers.
"We first opened our doors on the North Shore and were immediately contacted by many homeowners who were facing foreclosure or who were being ignored by their bank when they asked for help," said Shawna Culik, Managing Director of Culik Law. "We knew we had to do something to help and met them in their homes, offices, or anywhere else to hear their stories and get to work on their behalf."
Today, Culik Law, has a staff of eight employees and a client base that covers all of Massachusetts. It has offices located in Woburn, Massachusetts and Boston, Massachusetts. Culik Law's services have broadened to include not only loan modification and foreclosure defense, but also credit reporting rights, debt defense, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations, employee rights, bankruptcy, personal injury, tenant rights, and consumer protection litigation.
To mark its five year anniversary and as part of a 2014 commitment to giving back, Culik Law will be offering a series of free debt help clinics aimed at giving consumers hands-on assistance with debt, credit, or bankruptcy questions and issues they may have. The first clinic is scheduled for March 26, 2014, in Medford, Massachusetts with others to follow. All interested parties should contact Culik Law directly for more information.
"We are very excited to offer these clinics and for us it truly is a celebration recognizing the initial heart of why we started Culik Law – to help people with tough life situations and make a positive impact," said Josef Culik, Attorney and President at Culik Law.
CULIK LAW PC is a Massachusetts law firm with a reputation for championing the rights of individuals. Culik Law has received local and national attention for cases that have made a difference and often changed case law and the behavior of "untouchable" entities, like corporations, banks, creditors, and landlords. From holding them accountable for their misconduct, to prosecuting lawsuits against banks, to proving damages for clients who have been wrongfully treated by creditors, Culik Law seeks to continually prove its dedication to the Massachusetts consumer.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will w...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

The TASCAM VL-S21 is a monitoring system for home recording and practice. The self-powered satellite system provides 5 Watts per channel to the desktop speakers and 15 Watts to the ported subwoofer. The desktop speakers are ultra-thin, allowing for home or studio use.
The left and right speakers of the VL-S21 use NXT technology driver, delivering full-range sound from a thin driver package. This improves on the standard 2-way design by eliminating phase cancellation often incuduring the use of multiple drivers and crossovers. NXT technology drivers provide wider dispersion, more uniform loudness and reduced room interaction than competing technologies.

"A Page turner...King excels himself!"
I really loved this latest Stephen King novel, you might think time travel is old hat, but King changes it up and makes it very interesting and enjoyable. And Craig Wasson's performance as a 'storyteller' kept me riveted--he made it come to life, he made it breath, he made it, dance...Great job.
"Great Conclusion"
The third in the Grimnoir Chronicles, this novel was a very satisfying conclusion to the series. For me it was very easy to listen to, and Pinchot is an absolute master at creating characters with voice; I could play bits of this for a "non-audiobook" listener, and they say--no way that's one guy! In my opinion, Correia is an excellent storyteller, I love the pacing and the depiction of the 'world.'
"That was how long?!!"
I noticed at some point that this story is almost 24 hours, and was shocked. Because it seemed like half that. I can't give a greater compliment except that it seemed too short, and I wanted more. I will be moving on to the second novel almost immediately. Oh, and Oliver Wyman is fantastic, excellent character 'voices'.

Phillips 66
) posted adjusted fourth-quarter 2013 earnings of $1.34 per
share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.0 by 34%. The
beat came from higher refined volumes, higher throughput fees
alongside higher profits from the chemicals business.
The quarterly earnings compare unfavorably with $2.04 per share
earned a year ago. The decline was mainly due to lower refining
margins in all regions except the Gulf Coast.
Full-year 2013 earnings came at $5.89 per share, down 29.7% from
year-earlier earnings of $8.38 per share. The earnings, however,
came above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.64.
Segment Results
The segment generated adjusted quarterly earnings of $121 million
compared with $71 million in the comparable quarter last year.
The increase was backed by improved margins resulting from higher
throughput fees and volume growth.
The segment generated adjusted earnings of $261 million compared
with $246 million in the comparable quarter last year. Higher
polyethylene margins, equity earnings and ethylene volumes led to
the increase. This was partially offset by higher costs and lower
benzene margins.
The segment generated adjusted earnings of $450 million compared
with earnings of $960 million in the year-ago quarter. The dismal
results can be traced to lower realized refining margins, owing
to decline in the average worldwide market crack spread. During
the quarter, Phillips 66's refining utilization was at 92% and
clean product yield was 84%.
Marketing and Specialties (M&S)
Segmental earnings were $73 million, down from $113 million from
the comparable quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due
to the sale of the U.K. power generation business in Jul 2013,
and lower marketing margins. This was partially offset by reduced
costs and higher volumes.
Financial Condition
In the reported quarter, Phillips 66 generated $865 million of
cash from operations. It also returned $876 million of capital to
shareholders. Of this, $232 million was disbursed as dividends
while $644 million was used to repurchase 9.9 million shares of
common stock.
As of Dec 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $5.4 billion
alongside $6.2 billion of debt. The company's
debt-to-capitalization ratio was 22% and return on capital
employed was 14%.
Zacks Rank
The stock has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Investors interested in oil
refiners business segment can also consider stocks like
CVR Energy, Inc.
Alon USA Energy, Inc.
) and
Calumet Specialty Products Partners LP
). While CVR Energy sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Alon USA

With the introduction this spring of the cronut by Dominique Ansel, New Yorkers got their first taste of a brand new food trend. Exciting! The cronut—a cross between a croissant and a donut—follows in the illustrious footsteps of such foods as the cupcake (RIP, cupcakes) and the kale salad (still going strong!) as a food item that every self-respecting New York foodie (which, they all tend to, um, respect themselves a lot) obsesses over.
But what about all those other food and drink trends that came before the cronut? What happens to them when they no longer hold the spotlight in our food-obsessed culture? Some of them—like the once popular Cosmopolitan—die a slow death before fading into obscurity, where they rightfully belong, while others demonstrate much-deserved staying power, and become an entrenched part of the culinary world. I'm not really sure that the cronut will have the longevity of the now maligned cupcake—it seems far too niche-y for ubiquity—but think that there's a chance that the cronut's popularity will signal a renewed respect for decadent breakfast pastries. Whether or not that actually happens, though, here's a look back at ten food trends of the last decade that have become a seemingly permanent part of New York's food culture.

Deep Brain Stimulation and the Search for Identity

Ethical evaluation of deep brain stimulation as a treatment for Parkinson's disease is complicated by results that can be described as involving changes in the patient's identity. The risk of becoming another person following surgery is alarming for patients, caregivers and clinicians alike. It is one of the most urgent conceptual and ethical problems facing deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease at this time. In our paper we take issue with this problem on two accounts. First, we elucidate what is meant by "becoming another person" from a conceptual point of view. After critically discussing two broad approaches we concentrate on the notion of "individual identity" which centers on the idea of "core attitudes". Subsequently we discuss several approaches to determine what distinguishes core attitudes from those that are more peripheral. We argue for a "foundational-function model" highlighting the importance of specific dependency relations between these attitudes. Our second aim is to comment on the possibility to empirically measure changes in individual identity and argue that many of the instruments now commonly used in selecting and monitoring DBS-patients are inappropriate for this purpose. Future research in this area is advised combining a conceptual and an empirical approach as a basis of sound ethical appraisal.
