The Business 9 Women Kept A Secret For Three Decades
Posted By LAF Editor on August 28, 2013
Somewhere in West Tennessee, not far from Graceland, nine women — or "The 9 Nanas," as they prefer to be called — gather in the darkness of night. At 4am they begin their daily routine — a ritual that no one, not even their husbands, knew about for 30 years. They have one mission and one mission only: to create happiness. And it all begins with baked goods.
For three decades, the ladies' good deeds went undetected — that is, until five years ago, when Mary Ellen's husband, whom she lovingly calls "Southern Charmer," started noticing extra mileage on the car and large amounts of cash being withdrawn from their savings account.
"He brought out bank statements and they were highlighted!" Mary Ellen said, recalling the horror she felt. "I tried to explain that I had bought some things, but he had this look on his face that I'd never seen before — and I realized what he must have been thinking. I called the sisters and said, 'You all need to get over here right away.'"

I want just the receiver part of this.
Is this the one I just bought (and haven't received yet!) on Feb 22nd for $499?

Sure is. Model: HT-S6500
Does anyone know if Woot has offered up a Box of Chickens yet?
OooH, Bad!
Somebody bought one and there still are %100 left... Be seeing this W00t stall for a while

Woot - since I haven't received it yet, can I get it for this lower price?
I want a receiver but only if it has HDMI upconversion (i.e. i can have all my hdmi, and RCA sources plugged into the receiver and have the receiver plugged into the TV via 1 hdmi cable). Anyone able to confirm whether this one has that? It looks like probably not, but just want to check.
You should contact customer service and not the comment section on a temporary woot deal.
For those who haven't heard of Onkyo: it's a nice brand, available on the high-end sites like Crutchfield.
After doing tons of research I bought an Onkyo home theatre system (similar to this one) about 6 years ago. I've never regretted it. For new company I'll get out the T2 disk and let people hear the Terminator THX demo - it sounds amazing.
People usually want to compare speakers to Bose, since it's what they have heard of, but Bose is a company who puts a lot of money into Marketing/Hype, while companies like Onkyo quietly outperform.
If you did buy a Bose system, you'd pay more and get less awesome speakers.
I don't have the speakers (as I already had my own) but I recently bought the receiver and woofer for my living room. Love 'em.
I bought this on Amazon a few months ago, highly recommend!

This model does not upconvert analog signals to HDMI. You will need to connect both the HDMI and analog outputs to your TV. You'll be hard-ressed to find a quality receiver alone for this price that handles that type of conversion.
I've never been the last one to buy during a woot!off. I think I'm going to appreciate this system even more now.

It's strangely appropriate for Halloween here in Central PA: there is a fog covering the land, it's kind of clammy outside (like the skin of the recently deaaaaaddddd), and everyone around me is walking around like a zombie. It's the kind of day where, if I saw Frankenstein's monster shambling around outside, I wouldn't be entirely surprised.
With that, my mind wondered over to all of the monsters and ghouls that will be out tonight getting candy from strangers and possibly/probably murdering children and eating their brains: what creature would have an advantage in bike polo, and which would be the king of the newbs?
Dracula: This dapper fellow would be a natural fit for bike polo, as he is pale, wears vintage clothing, and lives in a classic so-old-it's-cool polo mansion.
Pros: He could take over the minds of other players and make them do his bidding. He also has the fringe benefit of getting drunk after the beer has run out simply by finding the player who looks the most inebriated. Plus he's probably been practicing for like, 100 years or something.
Cons: No tourney play, high likelihood of biting his own lips when he crashes.
Werewolf: Natural athletes, I say. You may already think you have a werewolf playing in your club, as a good amount of bike polo players already sport full-body hair sweaters and growl instead of speak.
Pros: I imagine that werewolves would be super effective at keeping their endurance up, plus they are great ways to intimidate the other team before the match even starts.
Cons: Hair getting caught in the chain, licking themselves in between matches. Well, okay, that generally happens in polo now, I guess.
Mummy: (aka Lumberjack), Hailing from ancient Egypt, the Mummy has all the padding any player could possibly ask for, plus he doesn't have internal organs, so he's not carrying too much weight onto the court.
Pros: Lightweight, cool accent, muscles have become rock hard.
Cons: If another player finds the end of the wrapping, he's pretty much screwed.
Witch: I think witches would make excellent bike polo players. They are already used to riding brooms, they drink some pretty janky stuff to start with, and they strike me as the most likely to be able to shit talk better than any other monster on the list.
Pros: If they get tired of pedaling, they can just go airborne. They can also poison other people's PBRs or just turn them into a toad. Plus they have that cackle, which will surely make you miss your shot.
Cons: It's hard to see the ball if it gets under the mole on their nose, the hat doesn't fit under the helmet, and it's hard to squeeze the brake lever with 6 inch long fingernails.
Zombie: Once the living dead stop eating folks and start focusing in on entertaining themselves, I think they'll find a good home within our game. Unkempt hair, torn clothing, a blank, open-mouthed stare–yeah, pretty much the majority of our players.
Pros: Not to terribly worried about bodily injury, relentless pursuers of other players, may have actually been polo players before they came back as flesh eaters.
Cons: Well, I mean–not to be crude about it, but I think they would lose body parts pretty quickly. One good check into the boards and there goes their arm/leg, right? Plus they'd smell so bad that nobody'd team up with them. That's a lonely, lonely zombie.
Frankenstein's Monster: Built by the genius of a mad scientist, old franky's monstrosity could certainly use some heavy hitting polo action.
Pros: Dude is built to cause pain. All that muscle and blind rage on the court can only equal one thing and one thing alone–an enforcer. Plus he could totally use his spare parts to fix up his bike on the fly.
Cons: Not a conversationalist, takes up too much room in the carride to a tourney, seems like a snorer. Also likely to punch holes into the surface of your court.

The emotional thrust of the hour (sorry for using the word thrust) belonged to Deacon and Maddie, who bonded in person instead of separately, in their own dreamy-eyed gazes, of what it might be like if they had a real relationship. The relationship is on, baby! No turning back now. And Maddie's LOVING it. Deacon's been afraid of disappointing people after the accident; he's just so damn tired of that damn look in their eyes, in their faces. But all of Maddie's expressions toward him are now these full-on love-gushes.
Is it too much too soon? In reality, probably. But this is TV, where there's limited screen time in which to convey a budding father-daughter relationship. So Maddie and Deacon's heavy-handed gestures -- him pointing at her as he sings "Fly, my child"; her enthusing that she must have inherited her inability to sing sans guitar from him -- are par for the course. I was rolling my eyes at the conversation about genetics I couldn't believe was taking place in broad nightlight, but soon cranked out two large tears as Deacon sputtered out, "You're growing up fast….but not too fast, okay? I just got here." Aggghh! He just got there!
Deacon and Avery's cover of "You're the Kind of Trouble" marked Deacon's first return to the Bluebird Café since his and Rayna's accident, as well as Avery's 48th Foursquare check-in of the month. (Mister Mayor.) "Even though I haven't been around doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about this moment every single day," he assured the crowd but more importantly his daughter. It wasn't the performance of his lifetime, but it was better than the sad open-mic comedy routine he'd have had to attempt at Shotgun Sally's. To be fair, the jerky half-chicken half-robot dance Deacon had been workshopping in his milk-less home would definitely qualify as a laugh riot, so he'd have been fine either way.
I'm really liking the Deacon-Avery buddy comedy!
BEEN THERE. Don't pretend you haven't.
NEXT: 'You gotta cut the world a little slack, otherwise you will just go crazy.'

How Many Times a Week Should I Work Out?
How many times a week do I need to workout with my DVD's? I have been doing two or three mile workouts everyday, but then someone said the reason I wasn't dropping pounds as quickly as I wanted too was I was doing it too much and was doing the walking at the end of my day , so now I'm confused.Question:
Leslie Sansone
"Walking our way. . .is the medicine for life" is Leslie Sansone's philosophy and the foundation of her wildly successful... Read more
This is such a great question and one I am asked often! When we do the same exercise over and over, eventually your body gets locked into one workout and stops progressing. The goal of exercise is to get our bodies to change, but that change is precisely what can leave you on fitness plateaus -- levels where you see no additional weight loss even though you are exercising as hard as ever.
By exercising, you grow more muscle, improve the strength of your heart and lungs, and create more of the enzymes that take your food and oxygen and transfer it to your muscle. This is great news, but this also means that your body no longer has to work as hard to achieve the same results. A twenty-minute mile might have left you breathless when you started, but now that same mile is a cakewalk.
Try some interval walking. At the simplest level Interval walking is simply doing moderate levels of activity, mixed in with short burts of activity. No need to be intimidated! Just think of interval training as the simple formula of slower, faster, slower, faster. For example, you would need to warm up for a few minutes and then after that do three to five intervals which include three minutes of brisk walking following by one to two minutes of faster walking or jogging, or even running. This will definitely increase your calorie burn and present a new challenge your body isn't used to!
Much Love,

Moayedi, Hossein and Kim Huat, Bujang and Kazemian, Sina and Asadi, Afshin (2010) Optimization of Tension Absorption of Geosynthetics through Reinforced Slope. Electronic Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 15 . pp. 93-104. ISSN 1089-3032
A series of direct shear tests were carried out on a sandy soil to evaluate the effect of optimum reinforcement orientation through the geosynthetic reinforced slopes. The main aim of the research was to find out how reinforcement should be installed through the shear box with respect to shear plane and regarding to absorbing maximum tension forces. For finding this optimization angle, a large-scale direct shear box was used. The reinforced soil specimens (30.4 × 30.4 × 15.0 cm) were installed through the shear box in five different forms including 0, 30, 45, 60, 90 degree of reinforcement respect to vertical axis of shear box. Based on the results gained from the research, the optimization angle of reinforcement that both shear displacement and soil dilation have caused the most tension stress in dry sandy soils was between 45 and 60 degree with respect to shear failure plane. It was because of the better interaction of the coarse granular soils with geogrid apertures. Finally, a series of two-dimensional finite element simulations were carried out using the results of optimum direction to describe the behavior of reinforced slope under different reinforcement directions with respect to shear failure plane.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Dioner Navarro hit three home runs in a game for the first time in his career, connecting from both sides of the plate at Wrigley Field on Wednesday and leading the Chicago Cubs over the White Sox 9-3.
Navarro had never homered more than once in a game, but he sure had his swing going while driving in a career-high six runs and scoring four times. He became the first Cubs player to hit three homers in a game since Aramis Ramirez against Houston on July 20, 2010, at Wrigley and their first catcher to do it since George Mitterwald on April 17, 1974, against Pittsburgh.
The last Cubs switch-hitter to homer from the left and right sides in a game was Mark Bellhorn against Milwaukee on Aug. 29, 2002.

Before Sandy Horvath retired from his career as a sales manager, he spent his spare time chronicling the lives of his loved ones and documenting his own travels throughout the world. Over time, his love for his craft blossomed into a thirst to become an admired photographer, so Sandy started submitting his action-packed sports photos to newspapers and magazines. With the publication of his work came professional status and a desire to share his knowledge with others. His first opportunity arose in 2009 when the Si View Metropolitan Park District asked him to teach a class. Soon after, the Issaquah Parks District clamored for Sandy's expertise; he now has over 2000 Club SnapShot students and more joining every day.
Today, Sandy teaches students of all ages and skill levels how to transform snapshots into high-quality pictures with lenses, settings, and exposures during his basic, advanced, and creative classes. He loves helping novice shutterbugs abandon automatic settings?the training wheels of photography?and create memorable images with nothing but manual settings and high-tech freeze rays. Sandy also transforms his own work into high-dynamic-range photo art and gallery-wrapped canvases. Students may do the same to decorate their homes, give as gifts, or hang inside windows to hide nature's flaws.
To say Mark Coleman knows how to fish is an understatement. Coleman, the owner of All Rivers & Saltwater Charters, has mastered the art of side drifting, float fishing, hover fishing, back bouncing, and jigging during his more than 10 years exploring the Pacific Northwest's waterways. In the process, he earned captain certification from the US Coast Guard, a distinction also earned by each member of his team.
Aboard vessels that range from the 29-foot Reel Tight to a 16-foot, nonmotorized drift boat, Coleman and his staff lead chartered fishing trips through fresh- and saltwaters. All Rivers & Saltwater Charters have caught fish on the Columbia and Olympic Peninsula rivers, traveled the waters outside Anacortes and the San Juan Islands, and explored Puget Sound. Voyages pursue salmon, steelhead, lingcod, sturgeon, and other types of fish. The team can also lead fishing lessons for newbies, teaching essential fly-casting techniques, including the correct grip, the different casting styles, and how to use homemade tiramisu as bait.
Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers in cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group sessions, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, bolster flexibility during yoga, and amp up heart rates along to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines.
At the Gold's Gym Northwest locations, instructors lead water-aerobics sessions within 25-yard salt-purified pools before cooling off in spacious hot tubs. The gyms also boast innovative cardio cinema theaters, where popular films and concession-stand advertisements flicker across massive flat screens as guests peddle away on treadmills and elliptical machines. After lively rounds of racquetball, members can unwind in steam rooms and saunas or sip on replenishing smoothies at the juice bar. During the week, the gyms keep round-the-clock hours.
As strange as it may sound, at Cougar Mountain Zoo, you just might be greeted by a big cat purring. Cougars are among the largest cats capable of true purring, and Cougar Mountain Zoo boasts a distinct subspecies of these overgrown felines, which prowl all over the zoo's award-winning World of Cougars exhibit.
Next to the mountain lions dwell their distant cousins, Bengal tigers, who sprawl out on the green grass or press their noses up to a thick wall of glass separating visitors from the wild animals. Other residents of the zoo include a barrel of endangered lemurs from Madagascar, a crowd of fluffy alpacas, and the country's largest herd of reindeer, who star in the annual Reindeer Festival and deliver presents to all the other animals.
The zoo also boasts a collection of bronze animal statues, a library of wildlife tracks, and a museum that explores not only the world of wildlife, but also the threats they face from human incursion.
Accomplished swordsmen Serge Timacheff and Kevin Mar cofounded Washington Fencing Academy as a haven for fencing enthusiasts of all ages and abilities to hone their skills. Accompanied by skilled coaches—including 2011 veteran world champion Maitre Wang Yung—the duo delivers traditional Olympic-style instruction according to guidelines laid out by the United States Fencing Association and International Fencing Federation. Classes focus on two fencing styles: épée, in which fencers target their opponent's entire body, and saber, a more fast-paced style that targets the upper body only. Sessions unfold atop 11 fencing strips that span a modern sports floor, cushioning steps and comforting joints without the need to compose a knee-specific lullaby.
Opened in Kirkland on Valentine's Day 2011, Palettes and Pairings celebrates the romantic interplay between art and wine. At each evening class, instructors offer tips on brushing life into a 15"x20" canvas while painters nibble appetizers and sip wine, beer, or nonalcoholic beverages. The studio also offers private parties for up to 75 guests, which can be completely customized from painting subject to dietary needs, and include smocks as well as plentiful opportunities to use the word smock.
Serving as a pensive counterpoint to the Kirkland location's parties, the newer Issaquah studio holds open-house time for all ages four times a week.

Ortiz Congratulates President, CIA, and Military Forces on Bin Laden's Death
Ortiz is heartened by this weekend's victory but encourages his fellow Americans to remain vigilant in their fight on terror.
May 2, 2011
(Albany, NY) – Assemblyman Felix W. Ortiz (Brooklyn) was very pleased to learn that Sunday night a team of US Naval SEALs entered Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan and killed our Nation's greatest public enemy. The Assemblyman offers his congratulations to our Nations Leaders, President Obama, the CIA, and the hard working members of our Nation's military. "Osama bin Laden's death marks a great victory for the United States. This victory will offer closure to numerous families throughout New York State, our Country, and even the world," stated Assemblyman Ortiz, "We must, however, remain vigilant in our fight on terror. We have cut off the head of this snake but we must be prepared to combat whoever steps into Osama's shoes." In the nearly ten years since the September 11th attacks on our nation, finding Osama bin Laden has been a top priority. "Our State, a State which has been so deeply wounded by the plans and actions of this evil man, can truly rejoice in his demise. Many of our children have joined the military in the hopes of aiding the hunt for Osama. Their efforts have not been in vain," said Ortiz, "I congratulate our service men and women on their courage, bravery, and perseverance in this fight to bring down Al Qaeda's leader," continued the Assemblyman. The Assemblyman thoughts and prayers remain with the families who have lost a loved one during the terrorist attacks or in Afghanistan and Iraq. "We will never forget the sacrifices of these individuals," stated Ortiz.

Hey, Guys!
It's been a long while since I've written anything here and a great lot have happened in my life since then!
I am now (april 2014) an 18 year old student at Cégep Limoilou in Computer Generated Imagery, so I can one day be part of the CGI movies industry! But of course, this ain't my only passion: I also draw (traditionnally and digitally), take pictures and, from time to time, do amateur modeling...
The lattest is for now one of my favourite things to do outside school and I am always looking for opportunities and new experiences. I am still new to this, but I would really like to push modelling to a professionnal level. I already have done a few amateur photoshoots and these experiences have just made my passion grow and grow every day.
As you probably can tell, I am not affiliated with any agency and need to build up a professionnal portfolio, which means that I am prepared to do shoots for free, if you give me a copy of the best (at least 50) shots.
Unfortunately, my student agenda makes it difficult for me to travel further than a four hours dirve from Québec city during the school year, especially from monday to friday.
For now, I am not interested in nude shoots and I will be accompanied for every sessions!
Thank you so much for your time and your interest in my art, I wish you all the best!

The Healthy Partnerships Report assesses how governments and the private health sector are working together in forty-five countries in Africa. The Report starts from the premise that collaboration between the government and the private health sector can improve the quality and access of care. Researchers working on this report created a new framework to measure the level of engagement between the public health authorities and private sector providers in Africa, informed by over 750 in-person interviews with stakeholders at every level of the healthcare system. They identified five domains that collectively comprise engagement: policy and dialogue; information exchange; regulation; financing; and public provision of services.

Lt. Governor
Simon: Water experts needed for Science Advisory Committee
Group to tackle river resource, management issues
ALTON – June 6, 2011. Lt. Governor Sheila Simon is now accepting applications for the state's Science Advisory Committee, which is expanding its battle against Asian carp and other potential threats to Illinois rivers, at no cost to Illinois taxpayers.
The Science Advisory Committee serves as the expert scientific and technical arm of the three river councils chaired by Simon, which are comprised of citizens and representatives from not-for-profit organizations and state and federal agencies. Together, the Science Advisory Committee and river councils will work to find cost-effective ways to improve the ecological health of the Illinois, Mississippi, Ohio and Wabash rivers.
"The Science Advisory Committee brings together the best and brightest river researchers in our state to keep our water safe for our native species and the people who live, work and play along our rivers," Simon said. "I look forward to working with the committee to find innovative ways to protect and manage our waterways."
First established in 1999, the Science Advisory Committee is chaired by University of Illinois scientist emeritus Nani Bhowmik and, starting this year, will be hosted by the award-winning National Great Rivers Research and Education Center (NGRREC) at Lewis and Clark Community College. Members of the Science Advisory Committee serve on a voluntary basis.
"We are pleased that NGRREC will host the Science Advisory Committee," NGRREC Chair and Lewis and Clark President Dale Chapman said. "NGRREC is focused on developing sustainable practices and policies that will protect the great rivers of the world and Illinois' waterways, and we are looking forward to engaging other scientists in our mission."
Simon will appoint up to four volunteers to the committee, who will join additional appointees from NGRREC. Applicants should possess an advanced degree in civil engineering, hydrology, aquatic ecology, or a related field, and be very familiar with the latest news, research, barriers and potential solutions in their field. A minimal commitment of 75 hours per year is required.
The committee previously published research illustrating the importance of preventing Asian carp and other invasive species from moving between the Great Lakes and Illinois River. The work helped secure full federal funding for two electric barriers in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, which serve as a barricade between the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan.
The committee also obtained funds for the State Geologic Survey to digitize the historic aerial photographs of the State of Illinois from 1938. By making this information easy to access, researchers and planners can critically evaluate land use changes over the past 70 years.
Beginning this summer, the committee will explore many other aspects relating to water and environmental management and change. The most pressing issue is developing an adaptive management policy for the state. Currently, it is very difficult for large state and federal restoration projects to alter construction plans mid-project when unexpected problems or errors are encountered.
"I look forward to integrating my longstanding history and expertise of working with the Science Advisory Committee with the broad array of scientists that NGRREC can focus on Illinois' rivers," Bhowmik said.
Those interested in serving on the Science Advisory Committee should e-mail a cover letter of interest and curriculum vitae to Olivia Dorothy at firstname.lastname@example.com prior to July 15. For more information about the committee,

Secure delivery and control of production data among well sites and data management systems are key functions for efficient production and reservoir surveillance. Data sharing among multiple parties, such as the operator's onshore technical experts, platform operators and service company personnel, provides value-added interactions that enhance operations and production performance.
Traditional data gathering methods used at production facilities typically compromise data quality, particularly data from downhole monitoring devices that can sample every 1–15 sec. Thus, offsite personnel cannot use such data for high-quality production optimization and reservoir analysis.

I first came across the acronym "G.A.M.E.R" from Joe DeFranco, strength & conditioning coach to numerous professional athletes. G.A.M.E.R is short for: Goal-oriented, Accountable, Motivated, Exact, and Resilient. These where the personality traits he identified in his high school athletes he believed had the greatest potential to turn pro in their sport. Let's break each one down real quick:
Goal Oriented: If you don't know where you are going, you can't get there. Those with "it" know exactly what they want to accomplish. Because of this, they exude the confidence necessary to achieve something great.
Accountable: Those who have "it" always take responsibility for their actions. They know their future is determined by their actions. If they fall short of their goals, they own up to it, take responsibility, learn from it, and move on to the next goal.
Motivated: If you have "it", you don't need someone else to hype you up. You know what you need to do, and you get it done.
Exact: This refers to the actions you take to get to your goals. If you are trying to be a pro basketball player, you don't need to work on running long distances. Only focus on things that directly help you reach your goals. This is where a coach or a mentor comes in.
Resilient: Without resiliency, the rest of the characteristics don't matter. If you give up at the first obstacle you run into it doesn't matter how exact your training is or how perfect your goals are. The athletes that are successful are the ones who deal with adversity better than anyone else.
While the acronym "GAMER" was created in a sports context, these same character traits are identifiable in any individual leading their industry.
The attitude you hold is more important than the specific action you take. With the right attitude, eventually you'll stumble across the best actions to take to accomplish great things.
Become a GAMER.

Day 4....
We decided to have our lunch at Cabanas, it was busy but lines moved quickly and there was plenty of seating, the crew members do a great job in keeping the tables clear and clean. I find it so hard to decide what to have when there is literally everything you can imagine on the buffet!
We got a nice table outside, right at the back of the ship.
After lunch, we moved to some sunbeds in the shade (didnt want to burn as the sun was so hot!) for a couple of hours.
We had a spa appointment booked at 3pm, so we arrived at the Senses spa at 2.45pm to check in. For our honeymoon, I had booked the couples choice experience for us wed enjoyed it so much, that we agreed it would be our anniversary present during this cruise!
(Sorry, no camera during the spa so no photos! )
After getting changed in the locker rooms, we were led to the relaxation room and completed a health questionnaire. One of the questions is on a scale of 1 to 10, how stressed are you? I wonder if anyone can be stressed while in a spa on a beautiful cruise ship
Next we were taken to our spa villa, and introduced to our therapists. They discussed the different treatments available with us, DH chose a deep tissue massage and I chose a Swedish massage with a facial.
We were led outside to the balcony area and each had a foot spa, then we were left alone for about 30 minutes to enjoy the hot tub and day beds. We were sailing past Cuba at this time, which gave us a lovely view throughout our spa experience.
The treatments were both excellent, I think I almost fell asleep! Afterwards we were allowed more time out on the balcony, they brought us out a platter of fresh fruit and hot green tea.
We left the spa just after 5pm, it had started to rain a little so we went back to the room to shower and get ready for the evening.
I had wanted to see the Aladdin stage show in the theatre, unfortunately we had an emergency as a button had come off the dress I wanted to wear, so I had to sew it back on! By the time we were ready, the show had already started never mind, I will just have to hope that the Broadway version is successful and that they bring it over to the West End in London one day.

Day 4...
Instead, we headed to Europa and went to OGills Pub, it was very quiet in there at that time (we found 6-8pm pretty quiet every evening as most people were at dinner or in the theatre!) so we sat at the bar and got talking to the bartender, Pio from India. He and DH had a nice talk about sports and cricket to drink I tried a cocktail called the ship builders wife and DH tried the exclusive ale/beer they served called OGills.
A crew member had told us that we had to look at the restrooms in Europa as they were very unique she was right! They had a flamenco/Spanish theme

Day 4...
Dinner that evening was at the Animators Palate, it was the show with Crush from Finding Nemo we had missed this on the Dream two years ago, so I was glad we got to experience it on the Fantasy.
Once again the food was delicious, I had the truffle pasta, soup, pork and sugar-free chocolate cake. Another nice thing about sitting with other guests was that we got to see some of the dishes that we hadnt ordered!
The Crush show was so much fun too, even as a table of four adults we all got involved in the entertainment (Totally Awesome Dude!!).
(A hidden Mickey in the rest room!)
After dinner, we went to explore the shopping district. I bought a pin, a Christmas tree decoration and something that Id saved up for a Dooney and Bourke handbag!
A crew member helped me pick one out, she suggested getting one that said Fantasy on the front, as that was the ship we were sailing on.
Back in the room, the navigator reminded us to put our clocks back one hour ready for Grand Cayman tomorrow!
We really enjoyed the day at sea, something I really liked about our cruise itinerary was that the three port days were sandwiched between two sea days - it gave us plenty of time to explore the ship and really relax, before our adventures began the next day.

Day 5... Grand Cayman
Day 5 June 24th 2013
Grand Cayman
We woke up early again the clock said 6am, then we realised that meant it was 5am! So we slept a little more, then went up to Cabanas for breakfast.
There was so much choice, it was hard to decide what to choose! DH had some smoked fish and a bagel, I had some fruit, a Mickey waffle, a mini coconut muffin and a mini cinnamon roll. We sat outside and ate our breakfast, there was no sign of land yet.
Next we went up to deck 13 and sat in the sun for a while, then it was time to meet in The Tube on deck 4 to check in for our excursion.
There were about 30-40 people doing the island tour with us, we checked in and were given Goofy stickers to wear this is how the crew members keep track of people on each tour once you get off the ship.
We were walked down to deck 1 to get off the ship and onto the tender boats.
This was the first time we had tendered off a ship, the boats were much larger than I had imagined and the ride to the shore was pretty smooth!

Day 5...
The colour of the water was amazing, such a deep turquoise the boat ride took less than 10 minutes, and we were soon at Grand Cayman.
Our tour group was split up into groups of 18 people for each mini bus, and we met our bus driver Barry.
We set off on the road, Barry pointed out lots of highlights on the island especially the many laws that Grand Cayman has (for example, if you throw litter from your car you will face a fine and possibly jail time!), and particularly how many banks there are on the island.
We noticed there was a real mix of British and American influences such as they drove on the left side of the road (a lady on our tour bus said to her daughter look honey, they drive on the wrong side of the road .. we were like no.. this is the right side! )
Many people on our bus noticed the price of gas at the petrol stations (around $5 p/g), and gasped.. although we thought that was quite reasonable, in England it costs about $8 p/g at the moment!
Our first stop on the tour was the small village called Hell. There wasnt very much there, just a gift shop and a viewing area around the black coral formations that gave the area its name.
DH and I noticed some fruits on a tree, and asked our bus driver what they were it was an almond tree! He reached up and pulled one off the tree for us to try, unfortunately we couldnt as Im allergic, and DH doesnt like them!

So sorry I am late, Emma, but I spent the morning getting caught up! I'm loving all of the updates. It looks like you had a fabulous time in WDW before setting sail on the cruise. Great way to kick off a two week vacation! I always seem to forget that your husband is a Saints fan too until I see him wearing a Saints shirt in your photos. I'm sure he is as excited as DH and I are that they are doing so well this season with Sean Payton back after the abomination that was last season!
Anyway, now that I am all caught up I can be more specific with my replies, since there were so many things to comment on and I started to forget them as I kept reading.

Day 5...
The next stop on our tour was the turtle farm.
There was also a dolphin experience there too, we decided not to do this as our excursion as wed already swam with dolphins in Nassau during our honeymoon.
The largest turtles there were about 4 foot long!
Up close, they are a really unusual animal we were able to touch the smaller animals and get really close to all of them.
There was also one alligator there called Smiley. It was found on Grand Cayman, but no one knew how it got there it was a cross-breed of Cuban and American alligator, so neither country would take it back!
We had a look in the hatchery, each larger turtle lays 100-150 eggs at a time, and they are about the size of table tennis balls.
We had a quick look in the gift shop, and went over the road to the dolphins area. Unfortunately we werent able to walk around there without buying a ticket, so instead we had a look in the shops and bought some cans of Coke.
I liked seeing a Union Jack flag among the palm trees.. quite unique!
We got back on the bus, and were driven back to George Town the tour finished about 1.15pm, so we still had plenty of time to explore the town a bit before we needed to be back on the ship.

Day 5...
We definitely felt safer in George Town than other Caribbean towns weve visited so we decided to get some lunch in the town and have a wander around. We found a really pretty café on the water front called Paradise.
It had perfect views of our beautiful ship!
To drink, DH tried a local beer, Cay Brew, and I had a cocktail called a Tipsy Turtle.
We were a little concerned to see turtle burgers on the menu! DH had a fish sandwich and I had a fish wrap, and shared a side dish of plantains.
The meal was pretty expensive (the menu was priced in Cayman dollars, and the bill was about US $70), but good food and a wonderful location. There was also free wifi there, I didnt have my phone with me but DH was pleased to get online for a few minutes and check on the sports news back home!
We walked around the town and looked in a few shops, then we headed back to the ship at 3pm.

Wed, Oct 10, 2007
Wednesday looks to be a
busy day for Sir Richard Branson, founder and head of Virgin
The flamboyant billionaire plans to perform a wedding ceremony
at 35,000 feet, onboard the inaugural Virgin America flight from
San Francisco International to Las Vegas, NV... which, in addition
to its title as the gambling capital of the US, is also home to a
high number of 'quickie' weddings (many of them ill-considered,
true... but that's not keeping with the spirit of this, so we
digress -- Ed.)
Branson will join his marketing director and his marketing
director's fiance in holy -- and marketing-friendly -- matrimony,
according to Virgin corporate communications director Abby
"He is ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church,
based in Modesto," Lunardini explained to NBC-11, before helpfully
adding, "You apply for that online."
"We thought Virgin America and Las Vegas would be a perfect
match," Lunardini continued. "Since many people travel to Vegas to
get a quickie marriage, we thought it would be a fun thing to do,
to have a wedding on the flight."
After the wedding, Branson and the rest of the Virgin gang --
including Virgin America CEO Fred Reid -- will host a party at the
Wynn resort, according to Lunardini... replete with a celebrity
poker game and dancing girls, natch.
While an in-flight wedding isn't something you'd expect from,
say, United or American Airlines (Southwest, on the other
hand... as long as both bride-and-groom were tastefully
dressed...) it does fit the admittedly
zany style Virgin America has used to set itself apart from other
low-cost carriers.
As you may recall, this is the airline that asked its passengers to name its
planes; Branson also received some ink for tossing a
glass of water at Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert, during an
interview to promote Virgin's naming of one of its A320s "Air
So, one could argue in-flight nuptuals is actually rather tame,
for this group anyway... but that isn't all Branson apparently has
In a release to ANN, Virgin sent out notice of another planned
activity marking the launch of Virgin America's Vegas service...
Sir Richard also plans to repel 407 feet off the Palms Casino
Resort's Fantasy Tower, in a ceremony hosted by magicians Penn and
Branson is scheduled to take the giant leap -- as it were -- at
1800 PDT, according to Virgin.

Recently, we had a customer who wanted to create a PDF that would automatically prompt the user to print the document. Our initial suggestion involved adding a "JavaScript PDF action" to the "open" event of the document.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Gnostice.PDFOne; namespace Create_Auto_Print_PDF { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(); // Use this statement to make the viewer application display // the Print dialog and allow the user to specify the print settings doc.AddOpenActionJavaScript("this.print();"); // Use the following statement (instead of the previous one) // to make the viewer application attempt to silently print the // document (to the default printer using default settings). // Note: There still will be a confirmation dialog prompt to the user doc.AddOpenActionJavaScript("this.print(false);"); doc.WriteText("This PDF will attempt to print itself when you open it."); doc.Save("Auto_Print_PDF1.pdf"); doc.Close(); } } }
Our customer came back saying that the document worked fine in Adobe® Reader but not in another PDF viewer. Even in Adobe Reader, the document may not have worked as intended if JavaScript scripting was turned off.
Our alternative solution involves the use of "print named action" in place of the JavaScript action.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Gnostice.PDFOne; namespace Create_Auto_Print_PDF { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(); doc.AddOpenActionNamed(PDFActionName.Print); doc.WriteText("This PDF will attempt to print itself when you open it."); doc.Save("Auto_Print_PDF2.pdf"); doc.Close(); } } }
When we checked, the second PDF document worked as intended in both viewers. However, we would like to introduce a caveat here that the "print" and several other named actions available in PDFOne .NET are undocumented features* that are supported by Adobe Reader.
* - As of PDF Reference Version 1.7.

Lyman County included in Governor's drought assistance request
Posted by Nicole
PIERRE, SD - Gov. Mike Rounds has requested a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) secretarial drought disaster declaration for 23 South Dakota counties.
Many areas in South Dakota are in their seventh consecutive year of drought. Counties are reporting shortages of livestock forage due to significantly below normal precipitation and inadequate soil moisture. This prolonged drought has left dams and dugouts dry and has forced producers to begin reducing their livestock herds.
"These conditions continue to bring economic hardship, not only to our affected farmers and ranchers, but also to those businesses that depend on them," said Gov. Rounds.To date, 23 South Dakota counties have issued agricultural disaster resolutions. Those counties are Brule, Buffalo, Campbell, Corson, Custer, Dewey, Edmunds, Fall River, Faulk, Hughes, Hyde, Jackson, Jerauld, Jones, Lyman, Meade, Pennington, Perkins, Potter, Stanley, Sully, Walworth, and Ziebach.
"I have asked the USDA to allow a portion of our CRP acres to be hayed beginning July 10, 2006, in those 23 counties," said Gov. Rounds. "We need to start the process now to open those lands for haying while there is still enough feed value left."
Rounds has also requested that USDA allow for immediate grazing of other lands in those 23 South Dakota counties that are intermixed within CRP fields. Those areas may be the water source for livestock and would further limit a landowner's ability to graze livestock on CRP without access to those areas.
Rounds further issued an executive order allowing right-of-ways along the state highway trunk system to be mowed for hay on July 3, 2006, or one week earlier than normal. In addition, Rounds has waived the permit fees for transportation of baled livestock feed and allowed overwidth loads to be moved on the state highway trunk system and interstate system between one half hour after sunset and one half hour before sunrise.
To further assist producers, the state also has a feed finder hotline to help connect those looking for feed and those with feed available. The hotline is available by calling 1-800-228-5254 or on the internet at the SD Dept. of Agriculture website: http://www.state.sd.us/doa

CHAPEL HILL -- Officials at UNC Chapel Hill are distancing themselves from Rush Limbaugh due to his remarks about a Georgetown student. UNC is banning the promotion of Limbaugh's radio show during Tar Heel sports broadcasts.
Limbaugh has been under fire since earlier this month when he called the student a "slut and prostitute" after she testified before Congress about birth control. A number of businesses have pulled ads from his show.

Idaho AG: Cheated Homeowners Get $19K Settlement
BOISE, Idaho (AP) ¿ Attorney General Lawrence Wasden says Idaho homeowners who were duped into paying a New Jersey company to help them modify their mortgages will get more than $19,000 in a settlement.
Wasden says the investigation into Weston, New Jersey-based Best Interest Rate Mortgage Co. LLC began with a complaint about a direct-mail advertisement.
The ad offered a special loan modification programs as part of the "Economic Stimulus Act of 2008" and appeared to have come from the U.S. government.
The attorney general's office says the company charged Idaho homeowners upfront fees ranging from $1,000 to $1,800 before the mortgage modifications were completed, which Idaho law prohibits.The company, which has denied wrongdoing, was ordered to pay the 12 homeowners $19,710.
