Carnival Cruise Lines plans to continue year-round cruises from Baltimore at least into 2013.
The cruise line has a new agreement with the Port of Baltimore that financially guarantees Carnival cruises from the city through the end of August 2013, with three one-year options after that.

Carnival launched year-round Bahamas cruises from Baltimore in 2009 as part of its expansion of drive-markets – the idea being passengers can drive to a ship without having to fly to Florida. The week-long sailings on the 2,124-passenger Carnival Pride visit Nassau and Freeport.
Royal Caribbean also later began cruising from Baltimore on a year-round basis, with the 2,446-passenger Enchantment of the Seas home-ported in the city.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley applauded Carnival's decision to stay put.
"The decision by Carnival to make a commitment like this and to continue offering year-round cruises from Maryland further illustrates the growth of the Baltimore/Washington region as a strong cruise market," O'Malley said. "In just three years, we have gone from 27 seasonal cruises to 112 year-round cruises."
Carnival President and CEO Gerry Cahill said the line's cruises attract 115,000 passengers annually.
Baltimore ranks sixth on the East Coast in terms of cruise passengers, with a record 210,000 people cruising from the city in 2010, according to port officials.

It was a vicious knife attack that left a Groton man dead. Now the man responsible has pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Tamara Lindstrom sat down with the prosecutor to find out why Dana Houghtling won't be tried for murder.
TOMPKINS COUNTY, N.Y. -- By all accounts, it was a savage, bloody attack that ended the life of 31-year old Jeff West.
"There's no question in this case that he intended to cause the death of Mr. West, that he in fact did cause the death of Mr. West, both of which are elements of a murder in the second degree charge," said Assistant District Attorney Andrew Bonavia.
On April 15th, 2012, Dana Houghtling followed his estranged wife and West to a friend's house in Lansing. According to witnesses, he slammed his truck so hard into a parked car that the car flipped and landed upside down against the house, where five children were inside.
Witnesses say Houghtling exited his truck, brandishing two large knives, one in each hand, and stabbed West repeatedly as he tried to run away. West died of his injuries.
Houghtling was charged with second degree murder and a slew of other charges. But on Monday, Houghtling pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
"After our investigation of the facts in this case and the investigation by the police department, it was our conclusion that the events that occurred just minutes before that, given the standard that the defendant has in this situation, they would have been able to prove that he in fact acted under extreme emotional disturbance," Bonavia said.
Houghtling's wife had recently left him after, she says, he beat her so badly she ended up in the hospital. The defense said an altercation with West and his wife, who took their child to a friend's house prior to the killing, led to the extreme emotional disturbance. Despite the lesser charge, Bonavia said it doesn't mean Houghtling will be getting off easy. And the brutal nature of the account will be taken into account at sentencing.
"The probation department is going to do a review of Mr. Houghtling," Bonavia said. "We'll review that. The family of the victims, their wishes. We've been in touch with them throughout this process. So we're going to take all that into account."
Both the prosecution and the defense will make requests to the judge on Houghtling's sentence, which can be anywhere from five to 25 years in prison.
Houghtling will be back in court for sentencing March 15th. The prosecution has not yet decided what sentence they will recommend.

Tree Planting in Bangladesh
Categories: Boots With Roots: Tree Planting, Making Our Difference: TBL CSR
Timberland's Code of Conduct team works to ensure fair and safe working conditions inside the factories where our products are made, as well as positive living conditions beyond factory walls. In the course of their important work, they often uncover inspirational stories – like this one, which comes from a Timberland supplier in Bangladesh:
In July 2011, Timberland footwear supplier Bangladesh Pou Hung (BPH) launched a massive tree plantation initiative, called 'Plant Trees and Save Environment.' Under this initiative the BPH has already started to plant trees at its factory premises and all around the BEPZA trade zones (Bangladesh export processing zone authority).
BPH launched this tree planting initiative with the realization that tree planting is something positive for the environment that everyone can do; there's no big budget to plant a tree, and its returns are valuable and sustainable.
We're proud to partner with suppliers like Pou Hung that are committed to taking positive action for the environment, and inspiring others to do the same!

Tall Horse follows the true story of an extraordinary giraffe, captured in Sudan and sent in 1827 as a gift to the king of France. Walking from Marseille to Paris, it caused a national sensation, inspiring everything from fashion trends to--some say--the design of the Eiffel Tower. South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company collaborates with the Sogolon Puppet Troupe of Mali, choreographer Koffi Kôkô of Benin, New York playwright Khephra Burns, and South African director Marthinus Basson to present this tale with a mix of magnificent puppets, live actors, captivating costumes, evocative music, video projection, and dance.

Public Shaming on Social Media
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 8:05am
An alleged cheater was publicly shamed Wednesday, and now his photo has gone viral.
"If this is your husband, I have endured a 2 hour train ride from Philadelphia listening to this loser and his friends brag about their multiple affairs and how their wives are too stupid to catch on. Oh please repost..." a Facebook user wrote on Wednesday.
And boy, did people repost. At the time of publication, the photo had been shared more than 86,000 times -- and counting. Check it out below.
How do you feel about public shaming on social media?
|Fri, 06-14-2013 - 7:54am
I agree with thardy that it's cowardly, I think the aim is for one prize called attention. I have a single friend on facebook that rips her ex up all the time on that site, They have a boy together and he has access to her posts, I often wonder what that all looks like to him. He's 9 or 10. She should know better as should any adult who has any decency.

The woman who posted this video should get a life. Some people are so desperate to be famous. My advice to her is to stop hanging out in the bar car and join AA. In lieu of that, she should get a good book, an MP3 player and learn to mind her own business. This kind of thing goes on during much shorter train rides and the intention of the speaker is generally to let loose some fictional daydreams and hot air. Look at the guy. I can only imagine the squeamish looks on this uptight woman which encouraged this neanderthal to continue his soliliquy, most likely for her benefit. And she knows it. She sat there for 2 long hours? It's like entrapment!
Can ya tell ~ I think public shaming is completely one-sided and cowardly.
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 11:44am
I think anyone who has ever had to sit next to a boorish windbag on public transportation understands this woman's impulse to post what she did, and I can't say the jerk didn't deserve it, but I still don't think it's right to make trouble for other people.
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 10:51am
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 10:34am
I think it serves the jerk right. Maybe it will teach him not to brag because I seriously doubt it will stop his cheating. It's a shame his wife would have to find out this way.
|Wed, 06-12-2013 - 10:00am
I saw that picture yesterday - and wondered if the story was even true? People make up stores and post all the time on Facebook.
I would not repost such a story, even if I knew it was true. I am not interested in destroying someone's life. Imagine the humilation of the family - with everyone knowing your dirty laundry?
It is malicious gossip and slander at it's finest!

In the 2013-14 season, Klay Thompson went to the line an average of 2.3 times while playing 35.4 minutes a game. Leandro Barbosa — the Warriors' newest off-season addition — nearly matched that total in roughly half the time (2.0 trips in 18.4 minutes per game). Hopefully those numbers improve for Thompson (as if he didn't have enough post-Love pressure on him this coming season), but Barbosa is a minor but meaningful addition to the Warriors' offensive attack. He runs, gets to the rim and goes to the line. For a bench still in need of consistent scoring, all of those attributes are positive.
Advice from a Caterpillar—the W's Search for a Stretch-4
"Who are YOU?" said the Caterpillar.
"I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then,"Alice replied, rather shyly.
"What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. "Explain yourself."
"I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly," Alice replied very politely, "for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing."
"What size do you want to be?" the Caterpillar asked.
"Oh, I'm not particular as to size," Alice hastily replied; "only one doesn't like changing so often, you know."
"Are you content now?" said the Caterpillar.
"Well, I should like to be a LITTLE larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind," said Alice: "three inches is such a wretched height to be."
"It is a very good height indeed!" said the Caterpillar angrily.
"But I'm not used to it!" pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone.
"You'll get used to it in time," said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again.
The Warriors Confront Life After Love
After weeks of "sources" and speculation, there was finally some real news on the Kevin Love beat — and it wasn't good news for the Warriors. On Tuesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers orchestrated a reverse salary-dump with the Utah Jazz, buying relatively small, non-guaranteed contracts that could be sent to Minnesota as trade ballast in a deal for the Wolves' much longed-for power forward. A day earlier, the Cleveland announced that they are close to signing Andrew Wiggins — a necessary step in shipping him out for Love, since the Cavs need his salary on the books to balance the deal. There's still time for things to change, particularly since Wiggins can't be dealt for 30 days after signing his deal. But the Warriors' future is looking increasingly Loveless.
The Wait for Kevin Love and the Advantage of Irrationality
Are the Warriors crazy to refuse to include Klay Thompson in any Kevin Love deal? Maybe, but that's likely the message they want to send to the Wolves as the Love negotiations enter a crucial phase. In a market with teams on equal footing, the Wolves could demand a developing player with high potential, like Thompson, in return for their bonafide NBA star. But in an unequal market, where Love has made clear that he wants off the Wolves, the rules of the game change. The Warriors don't need to make a fair offer — they just need to make the best one. And they still may be able to deliver it without including Klay Thomspon.
Addressing the Obvious: Warriors Sign Shaun Livingston
There was a remarkable moment during Jerry West's introductory press conference when he referenced, in his typical matter-of-fact manner, that it's nearly impossible to play good defense in the modern NBA with two small guards. The off-hand comment came in the midst of the Warriors' multi-year attempt to convince themselves that Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry could co-exist. It was an emperor-has-no-clothes moment of clarity, with the Warriors finally confronting the obvious limitations of their roster. Over the next year, the franchise drafted Klay Thompson, traded Monta Ellis and began the slow process of becoming one of the NBA's better defensive teams. The rest is history. The signing of Shaun Livingston isn't on the same level with finally breaking up the Ellis/Curry backcourt, but it does address a painfully glaring hole in the Warriors' roster. For the first time since Jarrett Jack left, the Warriors have a back-up point guard — and one capable of not only playing behind Curry, but next to him.
Draft Day Open Thread
In a testament to the strength of the Western Conference, the Warriors won 51 games last season, but came within 3 losses of missing the playoffs. If the rumors swirling around draft day are any indication, it's only going to get worse next season. With Western powers lining up to pillage free agents from splintering Eastern teams, the Warriors will spend their draft day worrying not just about how to climb to the next level — but about how to avoid slipping back to one below.
Love, Thompson, and the Risk-Filled Calculus of Building a Contender
The Warriors' first-round loss to the Clippers exposed their two greatest on-court needs: (1) a second consistent scorer capable of sharing the offensive load with Stephen Curry and (2) a bench that can be trusted with meaningful minutes. Game 7 captured these deficiencies perfectly. After Curry's 33 points, the Warriors' second highest scorer was a player known for his defense (Draymond Green, 24 points), while supposed offensive weapons Klay Thompson and David Lee were held to 15 and 13 points, respectively. Off the bench, the Warriors' only offensive production came from feast-or-famine role players (Marreese Speights and Jordan Crawford, combining for 22), while Harrison Barnes was scoreless in 13 minutes and no one else logged meaningful time (let alone scored any points). Faced with these realities, the prospect of trading Lee and Thompson for Kevin Love has an undeniable pull. But word this weekend was that talks had stalled because of an "organizational divide" over parting with Thompson. Whether it's a real split or just trade posturing, the Warriors should be conflicted over the rumored deal.
On Coaching and Perfection
Vince Lombardi once conceded that "Perfection is not obtainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is famous for demanding perfection from everyone on his roster, whether future hall-of-famers or walk-on practice-squad players. The 2013-14 San Antonio Spurs weren't perfect, but they achieved a unique level of excellence on the way to winning Popovich his fifth NBA championship. Up against the dominant player of the modern era, the Spurs reminded the NBA just how unbeatable a seamlessly cohesive team can be. You can bet Joe Lacob, Bob Myers and Steve Kerr were taking notes.
Steve Kerr's (Evolving) Basketball Philosophy
One of the things that's already exciting about Steve Kerr as the W's new coach is his ability (and willingness) to explore and articulate publicly his own evolving basketball philosophy—in direct relationship to his ongoing study of recent developments in NBA style of play.
What follows are discursive and piecemeal observations taken (and interpreted and inferred ) from many of Kerr's recent comments in interviews and on-air as a TNT commentator during the recent Thunder/Spurs series.
Steve Kerr, Mark Jackson & the Warriors' Known Unknown
Steve Kerr is the next coach of the Golden State Warriors. The immediate response to the news was to label it "shocking" and "stunning" — but it's only a surprise in the sense that expressing a preference for anything over New York upends certain people's Ptolemaic worldview. Joe Lacob's relationship with Steve Kerr has been decades in the making, and Kerr's name was on the lips of people inside the Warriors' organization as soon as Jackson hit turbulence in the middle of the 2013-14 season. As for Kerr, the choice of the Warriors over the Knicks certainly had its roots in family matters (his children are in California) and cold hard cash (the Warriors gave Kerr a stunning 5-year, $25 million guaranteed deal). But it also had a lot to do with basketball — and that's what's truly surprising. For the first time for as long as I've been a fan, the Warriors were a marquee coaching destination. In Kerr, they landed a suitably A-list prospect.

'Sarkozy is one of my best friends,' says Brown
11.12.09 @ 12:25
BRUSSELS - French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown stepped up their media charm offensive on Friday morning (11 December), as part of ongoing efforts to bury their recent differences.
Announcing their intentions to work together is securing an ambitious EU agreement on 'fast-start' climate funding (2010-2012) for developing countries and EU emission cuts, the two leaders went out of their way to show all was well between London and Paris.
"It is a very strong relationship and one that is working today as we examine climate change," said Mr Brown in a joint press conference with the French leader.
The day before France announced it would follow the UK's lead and implement a one-off 50 percent windfall tax for French bankers receiving bonuses of over €27,000.
The intense efforts to show a united front follow two weeks of bickering between the two sides, largely prompted by Mr Sarkozy trumpeting his own success in securing a top economic portfolio for France in the European Commission, despite British resistance.
Seeking to banish the public quarrels to the distant past, Mr Brown surprised journalists by stating: "Nicolas Sarkozy is one of my best friends and we work very closely together on all the major issue."
For his part, Mr Sarkozy praised Mr Brown's efforts is securing the implementation of the EU's new rulebook – the Lisbon Treaty – which came into force on the 1 December.
"We would not have achieved the Lisbon treaty without the leadership of Gordon Brown," said the French president, also pointing to Mr Brown's substantial contribution to efforts in tackling the financial crisis.
The British Prime Minister disappointed many in the UK by not holding a referendum on the EU document, with parliament ratifying it instead, as in most EU countries.

MGM challenges employees to 'Inspire Our World'
By F. Carlton Peeples
Special to the Michigan Citizen
DETROIT — For Las Vegas' MGM Resorts International, a Vegas-sized production was the best way to unite 62, 000 employees under its corporate culture. "Inspiring Our World: A Musical Journey" uniquely expresses the company's views on diversity, philanthropy and sustainability. The original production hit the stage in December 2012 for its Las Vegas properties; this past week's Detroit performance was the first stop on a tour that will encompass each of the company's properties and employees.
MGM's core values of teamwork, integrity and excellence are reinforced through its mission to Engage, Entertain and Inspire, building a long lasting, positive experience for its employees and customers alike.
MGM Grand Detroit employees, executive pastry chef Orlando Santos and Yassir Yasso, after rounds of auditioning, were chosen to participate in the Detroit performance. Sharing his personal belief, Santos who appeared on the second season of "Top Chef: Just Desserts," fought his way from a formidable past and circumstances. Having been abandoned at age 17 by his parents and sister because of his sexuality, the biracial Santos attended Johnson & Wales University, North Miami, Fla. He beat the odds.
"You have to live life now and enjoy and engage the moment," Santos said, "You'll never know when you'll be given that chance again."
"Inspiring Our World" is an initiative that had been a year in the making. Plans for the program began last winter. In September, auditions attracted more than 200 of the company's staff. Detroit's auditions received an equally impressive response. The production draws from employees' hidden talents such as Yasso, who's known as the voice of MGM and was an aspiring singer and producer. His vocal talent can be heard on the gaming floor in Detroit as well as commercials for the area's top casino. "I couldn't wait to represent the D, MGM, my family and fulfill some personal aspirations," said Yasso.
Santos and Yasso received applause from their fellow coworkers as they took the stage to provide personal testimonials of their own stories to close out the performance.
"The approach was conceived as a way to express the company's values to its employees; doing it in a way that really got us all in involved," said Alexandria Notz, concierge and relief supervisor at The Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The production consists of original music and choreography performed by a cast of over 70 employees.
"We respect and value our diverse and immensely talented team members as the foundation of our success as a global company," said Jim Murren, chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts International.
"Engaged employees are one of the most important components of the guest experience," Murren said. "Happier employees nurture a higher level of guest satisfaction, providing a competitive edge for the company in the long term."

Gabe's facebook has a comment saying KPHO had a story on the 10pm news last night regarding Logan's retained private investigator.
I just checked and I don't see a story yet, but please help me keep an eye out for it.
I wouldn't ordinarily start a thread based on a Facebook comment, but I'm confident there will be more to come on this.
ETA: Here's the video: http://www.kpho.com/video/22829323/
The PI is Ken Gamble of Gamble Investigations.

nothing yet...I checked this morning first thing and just again before this comment. I don't get the hiring of a new PI when he had one already working the case. Not to mention, is this person doing this for free? When they say hire that leads me to believe it is paid. Oh well, guess we will play the wait/see game. Shame though when a little baby boy is still missing and all these politics come into play. Why cant everyone look for Gabriel? I am sure that the police had any info that was needed prior to JJ Armes taking over. none of this makes sense anymore and I think it is disgusting. I know I don't know the details but as an outsider looking in it looks like people think this is a game
I agree that some people do seem to be treating Gabe's tragedy as a game. Thank God Gabe's father and family don't.
It's fine for other people to search for Gabe. It's great! I haven't seen anyone say that anyone shouldn't search for Gabe. Maybe I missed that.
BeanE....is Logan still in SA ???
Here it is:

So glad to hear Logan wanted a more low key investigator! Tells you A LOT about him and his family!
100 years from now, it won't matter what kind of car you drove or how big your house was. What will matter is that you were important in the eyes of a child.
again, not sure where to post, this is where I will start. It was interesting the PI conference and a couple of names that were mentioned. Having said that, AMW is such a popular show on tv , is their a certain criteria that it takes to get on this show? I know on our local channel fox/abc , I can't remember, we have our own AMW, kinda, a spin off if you will. Not sure if that is the case in all areas of the country. Does SA/or the metro area offer that on their stations...?????
I think it's great that LM has decided to go with a PI of his choosing. This way he can be certain all is being done for LM and Gabriel with no other motives. Taking it out of the public's eye is for the best also... MOO
█ AHFBWEB Less customers per server, more power for you!

I'm glad LM hired a PI he is comfortable with and that is low key. I'm hoping they find Gabriel soon.
Private Investigator: 'Elizabeth Johnson Wasn't Alone'
Multiple Witnesses Say Johnson Had Male Company In San Antonio
The newest private investigator to join the search for baby Gabriel says he has made significant progress. Ken Gamble, of Gamble Investigations Inc., interviewed several witnesses in San Antonio who said Elizabeth Johnson had a male companion starting the first night she was in San Antonio.
Gamble was in the audience during a hearing Wednesday morning in Phoenix, when a judge denied a request from the mother of missing baby Gabriel Johnson for a new lawyer.
Gamble wanted to meet with Johnson, but she has yet to agree. But even without that meeting, Gamble told CBS5 that there is no evidence that Johnson killed Gabriel. He said everything points to her giving him up in an underground and illegal adoption. Gamble remains confident Gabriel is still in the United States.
I've been gone for awhile from the blogs but logged in today to check on Baby Gabriel's case since he was on NG the other night after a long hiatus from it. Many people keep talking about the guy EJ was allegedly seen with and they keep calling him HG ... I know we're not supposed to post names unless they're already in the media, but can someone please tell me somehow who HG actually is? Does he have a name and where can I find it?
My understanding is Hispanic Guy...Hispanic Gentleman
If this is wrong PLEASE feel free to correct me or delete this.
I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.

The thread for the HG is here:
[ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95457"]The Hispanic Guy & The Couple - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community[/ame]
Lots of good information.
Private investigator Ken Gamble, who is working with the McQuearys in the search for Gabriel, said there is no evidence indicating that Johnson sold Gabriel in an underground adoption, but said there are indications she gave him to someone she entrusted who has the boy in hiding.
I was really shocked by this statement by Ken Gamble. So does this mean the ring is out? No evidence indicating an underground adoption?? Giving him to someone she entrusted would explain why she's keeping quiet.
Yes he does seem to skip the BS!

A surprise announcement from Onondaga County government, as the long time Health Commissioner says she's preparing to step down. Bill Carey says the resignation follows an internal disagreement over budget plans and services for local families and children.
ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Dr. Cynthia Morrow has headed the local health department for nine years. There were few signs of any trouble, until work began on a 2015 county budget.
The dispute grew over a plan to streamline services by moving a portion of the health department into another county unit. "It's around our Health Families Division in the Health Department and the components of that, which would be transferred to the department of Children and Families," said Ann Rooney, Deputy Onondaga County Executive for Human Services.
Reporter asked, "And the commissioner wanted to keep them under the health department?"
Rooney replied, "I believe that's the case, yes."
Morrow says rather than take part in the change, she will step down on June 1st.
Onondaga County Health Commissioner Dr. Cynthia Morrow said, "At the end of the day, we are all here for the same purpose and that's to serve our community. But, if we have very different visions of what that looks like, it sometimes presents a difficult challenge and that's the situation we're in right now."
As the County Executive's office began outlining its goals for the next budget, Morrow said it became clear that the transfer of services was a done deal, one that she could not support.
Morrow added, "Maternal and child health is a core public health service and I can't compromise my belief in that.
For the time being, once Morrow steps aside, deputy commissioner Michelle Mignano will run the department.
Rooney said, "She will serve in the interim while we embark on a search process that we are putting together as we speak."
For Morrow now, the challenge is figuring out the next step in her career.
Morrow went on to say, "In my heart of hearts, I serve the community and so, I don't know what that's going to look like, but I've never been more passionate about public health that I am today. It's grown and grown and grown. And I will find something I can do that can allow me to continue to work for our community."

I was wondering if anyone knew some chocolate shops in Quebec worth to visit. I might have an opportunity to visit for a long time this year, so I also wanted to see if there was an opportunity to work in any good chocolate shop there. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
thank you!
Views: 241
Absent any specific recommendations (I haven't been to Montreal in quite a while), you might want to try Chocomap and ChocoLocate. Both are databases of chocolate stores. Coupled with a Google search (chocolate +Montreal) and Yelp that's at least a start.
Here is a list from Chowhound.
Thank you, I'll look it up :)
If I were to travel to Montreal, I would visit Christophe Morel. I have studied with him. His chocolates are fantastic and he is also a very nice guy.
Wow, his work is great! I had no idea, thank you :)
Daniel -
I had forgotten Christophe was in Montreal. Doubleplusgood recommendation to that.
Chocolates by Chloe is also in Montreal - just down the street from Au Pied de Cochon.
I prepared an itinerary for a travel and tourism program I am taking that was for a trip I would like to do to visit various chocolate places in Eastern Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Quebec, Halifax) and the French Island of St. Pierre. There are chocolate places doing bean to bar, hand made chocolates, gelato, etc. I could send the itinerary in PDF, or I could extract out the names and links (if available). I do have to disclose that I have not been to any of these shops, but in the future, if I have enough money, I would like to do this itinerary and visit them all.
As a follow up, I was able to make a trip up to Quebec and visited Choco Musee Erico 634 Rue Saint-Jean in Quebec City. They have a nice museum recounting the history of chocolate, a window to watch the chocolatiers (video available when they are not in production), nice selection of chocolates and gelato and even make a bean to bar chocolate that while a rougher texture is very tasty, I regret not bringing back more. Down the block is an historic grocery that is supposed to be the oldest in North America and they have a selection of chocolate bars. Chocolaterie de l'Ile d'Orléans 196 Bout de l'Ile Ch, Sainte-Pétronille is also worth a visit if you have a car because there is no public transportation to there. They also have a small museum about chocolate in addition to a nice selection of chocolates, including casis and maple which are sourced locally on the island. They have a little patio where you can enjoy the chocolate, or walk down the road and you can have views of Chute Montmorency, the waterfall.

Save Energy Using A Pool Cover
Maintaining a pool is expensive. And if your pool's heated, the costs are even greater. But there are ways to manage the heating costs.
Some of the energy you buy for heating your pool gets lost. Outdoor heated pools lose heat from radiation to the sky, to the ground and other reasons. Indoor pools lose heat due to ventilation and other sources.
Evaporation claims 70 percent of all heat loss for both types. Evaporation should be your biggest concern over other heat loss matters because it wastes more energy.
How does evaporating water consume energy? A report from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) states that over 8,500 BTUs are lost for every gallon of water that evaporates out of a pool. (See Energy Glossary below)
Also, a typical pool loses one to 5.5 inches of water a week. If you have a 1,000 square foot pool, one inch of water would equal 625 gallons. At 8,500 BTUs per gallon lost, you lose over five million BTUs of natural gas, or more than 50 therms, per week. Using the March price per therm, $0.899, 50 therms total almost $45 in heat loss due to evaporation.
Minimize heat loss from your pool by solving heat loss problems such as evaporation. Start by using a pool cover when the pool is not in use. The DOE classifies a pool cover as the single most effective means of reducing pool heating costs, with possible savings of 50 to 70 percent.
The DOE released cost comparisons of heating pools with and without the use of a pool cover. For Atlanta during the months of April through October, these are estimated gas heating costs:
|With Cover
|Without Cover
|Savings With Cover
*Figures are based on a 1,000 square-foot, outdoor pool with an 80 percent efficient natural gas heater at $1 per therm. Heating costs vary depending on the price per therm.
Several types of pool covers are available from pool manufacturers. The type of pool cover you need differs from the heavy-duty, out-of-season covers. The cover should be easily accessible to remove when the pool is in use, but also easy to install when the pool is no longer in use. Although vinyl, insulated vinyl or bubble/solar covers slightly decrease the amount of solar heat, they reduce evaporation.
As the pool owner, you have control over the temperature settings. Determine a temperature that's comfortable for you and your family. Usually, pool temperatures range between 78 and 82 degrees.
Constantly changing the thermostat may result in increased energy costs. Set the thermostat and leave it, unless you're away from home for several days. In this case, lower the thermostat to save energy while you're away.
The cost of heating your pool also depends on the efficiency of the natural gas pool heater. The efficiency of the heater indicates how much energy the unit consumes as well as the amount of energy wasted. An 85 percent efficient heater means 15 percent of the energy consumed is wasted.
Look for gas heaters with high efficiencies to ensure you're getting the most for your money. Verify the efficiency of your current pool heater; the efficiency should be on the nameplate of the heater.
As the heater ages it loses its efficiency. According to the DOE, five to 10-year-old heaters range in efficiency between 70 and 75 percent. And ten to 20-year-old heaters range between 60 and 65 percent.
Now you know how a pool heater can affect your energy bill. Try reducing energy loss due to evaporation by using a pool cover and see results in your heating costs.
Energy Glossary
BTU: British Thermal Units
The energy produced by natural gas is measured in BTU. It's the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure water one degree Fahrenheit.
You buy your natural gas in therms. 100,000 BTUs equals one therm.
CCF: Hundred Cubic Feet
One CCF is nearly equivalent to one therm.

Although John D. Rockefeller, Sr. tried to avoid the spotlight, he was well known in later life for giving out nickels and dimes to children. Having bestowed upon a lucky child a nickel, Rockefeller would also offer some words of advice – generally encouraging the child to save the nickel and work hard or that coins were for saving and not for indulgence.
Did you notice Rockefeller's gleaming shoes? Rockefeller's polished shoes are said to be linked to how his fortune survived the Great Depression. The story goes that Rockefeller was getting his shoes shined by a young boy who proceeded to give him some free advice on the stock market unaware of who the man was. Rockefeller realised that if a shoe shine boy had advice on the market it must be overbought, and if it was overbought then it was about to crash – and crash it did. However, thanks to his shrewd business instinct Rockefeller had pulled out of the market just in time.
John D. Rockefeller, Sr. died May 23rd 1927 age 97. It is estimated that he gave out between 20,000 and 30,000 nickels in his lifetime.
It was not only children who were the recipients of nickels; Rockefeller would also playfully give out nickels to wealthy and successful business men such as tyre mogul Harvey Firestone.
It was during the Great Depression that Rockefeller switched to giving nickels instead of dimes.
Rockefeller was the first American to become worth more than a billion dollars.

|Quarter Leather Jotters
I think it's always good to have goals, especially in business. Without goals, I would feel like I'm just wandering about aimlessly. I wouldn't feel as much of a push to get going & get things accomplished. Last month my main goal was that I really wanted to get a good number of items added to my shop, and I accomplished that, I added 28!
|Case Bound Blue Flowers
This month, the month of September, my goals are:
*Add at least 20 items to my shop
*Create at least 2 new journal binding designs
*Sell at least 4 items
*Make at least 2 treasuries a week
*Advertise on at least 3 blogs
*Send out at least 2 emails to my email list (you can sign up to receive them in the sidebar!)
*Take advantage of free advertising in places like facebook, flickr, etsy lush, craft juice, wanelo, etsy carnival
|Quarter Leather Journal on Cords
Basically, I want to take advantage of the fact that I'm not working as many races this month. I'm only working 2, whereas last month I worked 6. So I should have more time to be able to make this an even better month than last month. Time to get to work & promote promote promote! I'll let you know at the end of September how I did!
What are your goals for September?

But what I find truly fascinating is how competitive we actually are with a discrete GPU that has a good driver, over 4x the fill rate of the igfx and several times the shader flops. With regards to 2D performance the limitation tends not to be SNA (unlike UXA and glamor where they are the bottleneck), but the application - which is as it should be. :-)
With regards to performance, the current bottlenecks I see in glamor are due to the CPU overhead of the Intel mesa stack, and the many assumptions that interact extremely poorly with the 2D workload of glamor. Where you do find yourself mostly GPU bound (such as the fish-demo), glamor still falls short by 10-30% due to inefficiences in the GPU programming (too many state changes and poor optimisation of shaders) and the multiple abstraction layers. However, being GPU bound is the exception and typically you end up being ratelimited by one of the paths that are orders of magnitude slower. And then there is the issue that glamor is an absolute resource hog, as the intel mesa driver's buffer management has never been used like that before...
In a perfect world, glamor would equal the performance of a highly specialised driver like SNA; much of the routines used in SNA can be mapped directly onto the OpenGL API - and most have been copied over to glamor. Lots of work needs to be done to tune the entire mesa stack, a lot of which I suspect will only benefit glamor.
And remember, RENDER acceleration is just one small part of the driver.
Thanks for taking the time and sharing your thoughts!
This is very much appreciated.

Endo Tales
I think I mentioned that I had an endo appointment earlier this month. I was excited to tout my latest A1c (5.9!) and show her my newest diabetes toy, the OmniPod's new color PDM. As usual, I left work and the kids in a huge rush and drove to the clinic all concerned about keeping good time. So you can imagine how irritated I was when I realized at some point that I'd been sitting…Read more »

So i found this beautiful Rose and Hubble fabric on ebay for 20quid, were talking like 10 yards( Wooooooo!) I'd wanted to to have a sophisticated BBQ/Tea Party for my birthday as everyone else just goes out and gets drunk, which we would do but i wanted everyobne to remember part of it! As a baby i had a dress in similar fabric to this one, so i got onto Polyvore mood board(ed?) my idea for the food, dress, shoes, decorations, fabric and blah…..So over the summer on a break from uni I could sit in the garden designing and planning every aspect. I decided upon this sweetheart neckline with circle skirt because it is a classic and i suit only curve friendly numbers. I chose to make it more interesting by using the stripes of the fabric to create a zig zag pattern with the bodice, thios took time but was so worth the effort as I felt it added more craftmanship to the piece. I like the bodice with a satin finish matte gold lining fabric and added two rigilene bones to the front and back, now wishing it rounded off the edges as they like to stab at your flesh, naughty little things! made the straps out of combining navy and a white grosgrain ribbons together and then used the remainder to create a linear bow detail above the zip on the back, partially because zips are not my best friend. The only change I would have made was to make the circumference of the waist bigger, the was a bit of a squeeze after the 6th butterfly cake….I am really proud of it and after nmonths of planning the day went spendidly, hope you all like it!

In recent years, scientists have made huge gains in their understanding of how genes can be altered and transferred from one organism to another – but that knowledge has been acquired amidst controversy and concern. The deep ethical concerns that have resulted from the emergence of genetic manipulation are explored in this unit. We begin with an examination of the basic structure and function of genes. A number of pioneering examples and techniques are explored, helping to explain why our present-day view of genetic manipulation can combine feelings of optimism and unease. Examples are drawn from both plants (notably GM crops) and animals (including Dolly the sheep), with a special emphasis on the implications of promising medical techniques such as gene therapy. Our hope is that by exploring the science 'behind the headlines', and its interactions with the equally complex social factors, we will acquire a clearer idea of both what is possible and what may be desirable.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- understand more about the science that underlies the development of genetically modified organisms and in particular how gene transfer is brought about;
- know something of the potential benefits and uncertainties associated with gene transfer and the high levels of technical ingenuity involved;
- be better able to understand the science that underpins the development of Golden Rice and understand why the usefulness of this product has proved so contentious.

Those who have been patiently waiting for BlackBerry to make its way into the modern era finally have their day: The delayed BlackBerry Messenger — or BBM — is finally available as a messaging tool for iOS and Android (formerly known as competing platforms). And if that sounds like you, you were among a few others — specifically 10 million people in the first day — to download the app right away.
If you don't have your hands on yours yet — or if you're a non-Blackberry-er thinking of testing the waters — here are 10 basic things to know about it.
First the good...
You can attach files to your messages, and send them to groups of people (as large as 30) or individuals. You can also send voice notes. The interface makes the whole process super easy and clear.
You can add a little photo (or even a gif) to identify yourself in your messages, similar to the way you might do using your desktop computer.
You can use an array of fun emoticons with abandon.
You can make your status visible, so people can know if, for instance, you're "in a meeting" before trying to message you.
When you send a message, you'll know when it's been delivered and when your recipient has seen it, thanks to a read receipt. You might find this useful — or just a TMI tool to overanalyze people's reactions to your personal notes. (Come on, we've all been there.) You can also see when someone is responding.
It's super fast.
And now the bad…
You can't share videos, like you can using an alternative platform like Apple's iMessage.
You can't share contacts using the app.
You can't make free voice and video calls using Wi-Fi anywhere in the world — so an app like Viber is still a better alternative for that purpose. (This is something you can do if you actually use BBM on your BlackBerry.)
Want to give it a try? First you'll need a unique PIN, which you'll get after you install the app. (You might need to wait a short while in the digital queue before you're ready to use.) You can text or email people you want to message from within the app to get their codes. Thanks to the PIN, you never have to give out your phone number to someone you just met, for instance.
Let us know: What do you think of the new BBM app?

Good morning everyone :)
I love my wednesdays, except for the fact that I have to be up at 3:45 - brutal. I teach cardiotone (an interval class) this morning followed by fitbarre and then I do usually have a little toast and PB with my second round of coffee while I check my email and then go to my favorite step class ever. SIDE NOTE: I am totally on the side of dancey step now. Remember how I used to hate it? Because I always felt like it was either a good workout or dancey, well, I found a great instructor who makes it crazy hard and crazy fun at the same time. And . lucky me ... she's now one of my employees so we toss ideas ofr each other all the time. She has made me grow in my step choreo skills so much :)
Anyhoooo.. after that I have a short reformer class to teach then a little admin work and I get the whole middle of the day to myself. I go back in later for 2 more reformer classes. Oh, and for the next few weeks I'm teaching a couple their wedding dance, which is fun :)
What are you all doing? Jean, youre all set for your ski trip?
I'm going ove to ebay and see if I cant snag some cheap lulu :D
