We assist prisoners facing the death penalty around the world and prisoners held as part of the 'war on terror'. We are currently looking for some Indonesian translation help and I wondered if anyone of you may be interested in providing some voluntary assistance? We would need some help translating various types of documents, e.g. court documents, witness statements, letters etc., mainly from Indonesian to English for some cases that we are assisting on. The translation can be done remotely; it would be really great if you have some spare time to help with some documents occasionally.
There are different types and lengths of documents to translate. We will generally try to split larger documents between a group of people so no one is overburdened. Just to give you an idea, recently we split 15 pages of documents equally amongst three people as they signalled that they had capacity for about five pages each. If people wish to do more, then great, but equally, if someone is only able to do a page or two then we really appreciate that as well. In terms of turnaround, people tend to take a quick look at the document and then give us an expected completion date. This tends to range from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Generally, we are building a pool of people that we occasionally send documents for translation to, so as to ensure that no one is ever overburdened.

Lockheed Martin unveils first Orion spacecraft
The funding to send astronauts to the moon on NASA's new Orion space capsule may have been axed, but it's good for lots of other stuff, from ISS transport flights to deep-space adventures. Lockheed Martin has just unveiled the very first Orion spaceship, along with a fancy new simulation center to test it out in.
Orion looks a lot like Apollo-era capsules, but it's much bigger, designed to seat four to six astronauts, and takes advantage of decades of technological advances. Inside, it's got a glass cockpit based on the one in the Boeing 787, and "improved waste-management facilities" (yay!).
To put Orion through its paces before launching people into space in it, Lockheed Martin built a gigantic Space Operations Simulation Center. It uses full-scale mockups of Orion and the ISS suspended in a giant room to test out robotic docking maneuvers, and can also simulate touchdowns on asteroids and stuff like that.
The first Orion capsule should make it to orbit sometime in 2014, with a manned test flight scheduled for 2016.
Just below, we've got a huge gallery of new pics of the spacecraft and testing center, plus some gratuitous video of an attitude control system test.

Wolves midfielder Nenad Milijas has lost his appeal against the red card he picked up during their 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Tuesday 27th December.
Milijas, 28, was dismissed towards the end of the match at the Emirates Stadium for a challenge on Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta.
Wolves appealed against the decision and Milijas's ensuing three-match suspension, but the Football Association have stuck with referee Stuart Attwell.
Milijas will now miss the Barclays Premier League matches against Bolton Wanderers and Chelsea, as well as the FA Cup third round tie against Championship side Birmingham City.
"We are hugely disappointed because we believed we had good grounds for the appeal," said Wolves club secretary Richard Skirrow.
"Prior to Tuesday, Nenad had only six cautions in English football and no suspensions. Likewise, as a club, we are not serial appealers of red cards."
Milijas, who signed for Wolves in the summer of 2009, has made nine Barclays Premier League appearances for the Molineux club so far this season.

Body Treatments & Wraps
Body treatments are skin treatments that provide care for your body's largest organ: your skin. Helping to keep your skin healthy, firm and youthful, body treatments are essentially a facial for the whole body – cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating. Spa Shiki has carefully selected the ingredients for each of its body treatments to ensure you benefit from the most pure and powerful elements.
Click here to read about Spa Shiki massage therapists.
Enhance your massage or wrap with our NEW Booster!
Applied to pockets of cellulite and adipose tissue (buttocks, hips & thighs, back of arms) before any massage or wrap treatment. Niacin is one of the active ingredients along with organic seaweed that does stimulate and heat the skin creating some redness. It does neutralize on its own and the skin returns to normal color within 1-2 hours. $25
Supracor Exfoliation & Massage
This body treatment and massage combination includes a full body exfoliation featuring a trademarked Supracor mitt. Using Supracor's fusion-bonded, honey comb technology to apply dry brushing techniques to the body, the treatment exfoliates dead skin, helps eliminate lymphatic waste in the body and nourishes and oxygenates the skin by stimulating circulation and bringing blood to the surface. Following the invigorating exfoliation, a 50-minute massage allows all-natural oils to penetrate deep into the skin, enhancing nutrient absorption. Your body will feel renewed and relaxed at the same time! A complete spa treatment.
75 minutes, $155

Go to the iconic Montserrat Mountain to see the famous Black Virgin & hear the Choir "la Escolania". Enjoy some delicious sparkling wine in the historical cava cellars of Freixenet or Codorniu.
Day 1
Runs every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday
Departure is from Barcelona at 9:30am, and from Barcelona we will head straight to Montserrat, just over an hour and a half away. On arrival, you have various options. A visit to the Sanctuary where the Moreneta is housed is a must. The sanctuary has been in use for almost 1000 years for those pilgrims and other visitors who have climbed this spectacular mountain. At 1pm on weekdays there is the opportunity to hear one of Europe's oldest children's choirs, La Escolania de Montserrat. There is also the opportunity to visit the fascinating Museum of Montserrat, with its five collections ranging from Archaeology from the Biblical East to Modern Painting and Sculpture.
Besides these cultural possibilities, the paths of the Montserrat parkland lead you around a number of different walks, each offering a different perspective on the stunning views over the surrounding landscape, and many of which are peppered with small chapels and hermitages. There are routes to suit all tastes and energy levels, from fairly strenuous treks to gentle strolls around the park area, all of which allow you to marvel at the views and to enjoy the unspoiled beauty of this protected natural park. Another option is to take one of the two rack railways, or the cable car, offering different views of the area. Alternatively, the views can simply be savoured from the cafe, which offers panoramic views of the valleys.
At 2.30pm, the tour will leave Montserrat, to drive down to Sant Sadurn���'Anoia, the Cava Capital, via Gelida, to visit some of the biggest underground wine cellars in Europe. Sant Sadurni d'Anoia is situated in the Penedè³ wine-growing region, which boasts one of the widest varieties of grape of any wine-growing region in the world. The region received a major boost in the late 19th-century when French vineyards succumbed to parasite, although Penedè³ itself was later struck by the same problem. Production has since recovered, and cava is now a major rival to French champagne; in fact, the main difference between cava and champagne is simply the region in which they are produced.
One of the most famous wine producers of the Penedè³ region is Freixenet, and the tour will continue with a visit to their vast wine cellars, where they will demonstrate exactly how the famous sparkling wine is produced, from the first pressing of the grapes to the second fermentation in the vast expanse of cellars. This will of course be accompanied by the chance to sample the product, to see exactly why it has acquired such international fame.
From here, the tour returns to Barcelona, arriving at 7pm.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

For the first ten years of our existence, we built and deployed our own, homegrown Content Management System, CruCMS on hundreds of web sites. One of the things we pride ourselves on as a firm, however, is our focus on education and staying current with the ever-changing world in which we operate.
We used to steer clients away from "out of the box" solutions like Wordpress, citing what, in our opinion, was true at the time: Wordpress was great blog software, but really junky website management software. Being open-minded, however, we never stopped staying in touch with the software.
Then something happened. Wordpress reinvented itself, and turned itself into world class web site management software. In fact, statistics now show that upwards of 22% of all new web sites are powered by Wordpress. Over 60 million web sites are now powered by Wordpress.
We had a choice to make; adapt, or compete. So we decided to become Wordpress experts ourselves. Not only does working with a popular platform like Wordpress expose us to a burgeoning community of additional developers, plugins & tools, it enables us to constantly become more efficient in building sites for our clients. Translation: things work, they scale, and they are more affordable.
Our years of custom CMS development have helped us to develop an even deeper understanding of Wordpress' inner-workings, and allows us to customize installs to fit virtually any need.
Because we started by building our own solutions, we can also build custom CMS applications for those sites whose needs are so intricate and specific that solutions like Wordpress are not a good fit.
A quality CMS quite simply makes your site easier to update, and the end result is a more search-friendly, more usable, enjoyable experience for your visitors.
We'd love to setup a free, no obligation 30 minute consultation with you to learn about your business.

Here is the Publisher's description:
Discover the theology of the body—your life will never be the same.If you live in Bryan/College Station, then you will be able to buy copies at St. Mary's front desk later this week. I will even autograph a copy is you want me to.
Each of the stories in Set Free to Love will help you hear the same call to live out the gift of love in your own life, in your own way. These are stories from Catholics in all walks of life, including college students, married persons, professionals, and clergy. The conversions include struggles with pornography, abortion, sexuality, same sex attraction, and issues in married life and the priesthood, revealing how the theology of the body brought about extraordinary change in each person's life.
If you are out of town, you can order from my website (and I will autograph as well).
While you can always order from my publisher, Amazon, or some other seller, I always encourage you to buy directly from the author when possible, because the few extra dollars they make each time helps them out a little.
Thanks to everyone who has been supportive through the entire project - esp. the contributors to the book.

Romain Grosjean has apologised to the drivers he took out in the lap one carnage at Spa, saying he "honestly" thought he had left room for Lewis Hamilton.
Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix was marred by a first corner accident that took Championship contenders Hamilton and Fernando Alonso out of the grand prix. It also put paid to Grosjean and Sergio Perez's afternoons.
The Frenchman was later slapped with a one-race ban by the Belgian stewards, who said the accident had the "potential to cause injury to others." Although serious injury was avoided, both Hamilton and Alonso admitted to be a big banged up and bruised.
"When your life is all about racing, not being allowed to attend an event is probably one of the worst experiences you can go through," Grosjean said.
"That said, I do respect the verdict of the stewards."
He added: "This first corner situation obviously isn't what anyone would want to happen and thankfully no-one was hurt in the incident.
"I wish to apologise to the drivers who were involved and to their fans.
"I can only say that it is part of a process that will make me a better driver."
Speaking about his start, the Lotus driver said he "honestly" believed he had left enough room for Hamilton when he cut across the track at the start.
"I got a good start - despite being disturbed by Pastor's early launch, which I think was the case for everybody at the front - and was heading into the first corner when the rear of my car made contact with the front of Lewis's.
"I honestly thought I was ahead of him and there was enough room for both cars ; I didn't deliberately try to squeeze him or anything like that."

Ebbsfleet's Kuwaiti owners would rather keep the club at Stonebridge Road than build a new stadium at the Paramount Park.
Dr Abdulla Al-Humaidi, the Fleet chairman, doesn't want the club to have its identity swallowed up by the multi-billion pound development at the Swanscombe Peninsula.
Ebbsfleet only have 11 years left on their lease at Stonebridge Road, which is owned by Gravesham Borough Council, and moving home is still an option.
But vice-chairman Peter Varney said: "The owner's preference is to stay at Stonebridge Road.
"His preference would be that it should be here but we've got to look at all the options because that's the only one we know at the moment.
"We don't know what the other options are but that's certainly what the owner's said at board meetings.
"The council have been fantastically supportive since I've been here and we want to do this in a progressive way with them, so that it benefits Ebbsfleet and we have modern facilities wherever they are, that people can come along and enjoy and watch their football."

Now we're beginning to see actual demolition take place, with piles of rubble where the Alumni Auditorium and other parts of the building once stood.
If you're someone who loves destruction (or, eventually, construction), you can tune in to a live video stream from a webcam mounted atop the Rec Center to watch the progress as the HUC comes down and a new student center is built in its place.
Watch the HUC live video stream
The video stream works best using Internet Explorer, and it requires a username and password to access. Just enter the username "Guest1" (without quotes) and password "1Guest" (again, without quotes) to get in. Also, note that both the username and password are case-sensitive.
Enjoy the show! We look forward to a new and improved student center in fall of 2015.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cfinley Great Location The is a great location in the middle of Albuquerque next to a large shopping mall and other dining options. This can be romantic with the jacuzzi suites or family friendly with the indoor heated pool. Parking is free and convenient. the club level lounge is very accomodating and offers a great variety. December 5, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by pk12 bedspread The bedspread had red stains on it which was pretty disgusting. I would up sleeping in my sweats on top of the sheet. I have pictures. August 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by njtour1 Great rooms! The rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff very helpful. Enjoyed our stay November 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by dbpj Great location and accomadations Was a great stay in a great Hotel. Personnel were always accommodating and the rooms top notch. September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen96 Excellent stay! I came to the Albuquerque Uptown Sheraton Hotel for a conference and ended up having a great time not just professionally but personally. The staff were super helpful and welcoming, they were very professional. The room was very comfortable, the bed was great. I came home feeling I had not just gone there for business, I had had a relaxing and fun time too! September 15, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DougMcKown Staff really needs additional training! First and foremost, we were new to Albuquerque and did not know much about the area. The website claims to have a complimentary shuttle. However, upon arrival, Kevin at the front desk informed us that Anthony was the driver for the day and it depended on "whether he felt like going" as to whether or not we could utilize the free shuttle service. We were told the shuttle went within a two mile radius, but it depended on Anthony and if he felt like it or not. That alone was unprofessional. Then, the next day, Bobby told us that Chris was the driver and if we wanted to go to old town then he would probably take us. With the lack of consistency in what we were being told, we finally decided to rent a car. Later that same night, Erin was the shuttle driver. I must give her kudos because she was very nice, we enjoyed her conversation, and she recommended a good local bar for us and took us there and picked us up. We were never quite clear on what the shuttle would/could do the entire time we stayed there. As far as the room, I had to ask for a hairdryer which was supposed to already be in the room. When housekeeping brought it, the lady stood at my door as if she were expecting a tip. Considering this was something that should have already been in the room, I did not tip her and it made the situation very uncomfortable. The shower in the room is nothing more than a trickle of water and the pressure and temperature changes constantly. The one thing that I really was infuriated about is that when I questioned Bobby at the front desk about getting a Starwood preferred guest card, he did not know where the forms were. He did ask someone, who also did not know. They made no attempt to offer any real help in this area. They honestly seemed to not care. I asked if I could apply on line and he said that I probably could and left it at that. I also asked about a credit of some sort I read about if I did not want my linens changed. He told me to hang the sign on the door if I did not want housekeeping in my room. I explained that I did want them to come in and straighten up, but that I did not need my linens changed every day. His suggestion was that I talk to housekeeping about that. My over all experience was far, far less than I expected or received at other Sheraton or Starwood brands (and there have been quite a few!) I would not stay at this hotel again. The front desk is minimally trained and have the attitude of only getting by with the minimal necessary. I was very disappointed in the level of service from the front desk, December 10, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by LADoc Don't count on Platinum Benefits We stayed at the Albuquerque Sheraton in June 2010. When we checked in around 9:00PM the manager refused to give us a Platinum suite upgrade claiming there were no suites left. Checking the PG website on my iPhone I showed two suites. I called SPG reservations to discover there were two suites available. After 45 minutes of back-and-forth with SPG and the front desk, we finally we upgraded. The manager made me feel like a freeloader for asking for a benefit I had earned. It was the night I decided that SPG Platinum wasn't worth it. October 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dew22 Clean and roomy I arrived in town with no reservation, after calling other hotels in area I chose Sheraton based on price. I knew nothing about hotel or surrounding area. The staff was VERY helpful in giving restaurant and local hot spots advice. My room was spacious, clean, and smelled great!! Comfortable bed and even had good water pressure in shower (very hard to find good shower at hotels)! They also had a much later check out time than other places Ive stayed. Great hotel, great price, will stay with Sheraton in future for sure! Thank you September 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Forbusinessandpleasure Great leisure hotel We stayed here for the Balloon Fiesta, and many other times. This hotel has a very happening environment, the bar and restaurant had enough people to make new friends, but not so crowded you cant get in. The hotel is in the heart of ABQ and there are many eating establishments, shopping venues and activities close to this hotel. The pool is a bit dated but is still nice. They recognized my platinum status and upgraded me to suite on the Club Floor. Their Club Floor is one of the best out of any Sheraton I have stayed at. August 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Milc06 Convenient, Clean, & Comfortable We come to Albuquerque often as a family for our children's sports. It is a great location with great shopping and restaurants within walking distance. We always try to stay on the club floor. The breakfast and evening hors d'ourves are perfect for our busy schedule when in town. The rooms are clean & comfortable with queen size beds, which are very hard to find these days and must for us. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SVO5Plus Consistently welcoming Each return is consistently satisfying. The Front Desk staff is efficient and knowledgeable and remembers one upon return visits. The staff in the Club Lounge (Adele, Judy, Diane) are each outgoing and eager for one to enjoy the ambiance of the Lounge as well as ABQ and its diverse offerings. They are assets to this site. Rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Entire staff and the manager Damon continue to provide an excellent hotel for one to enjoy casually, but tastefully. I'll always return! November 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gallo Great Stay The Sheraton at Uptown is a great place to stay. The hotel is clean and inviting. The rooms and beds are comfortable and clean. The lounge on the Club level is very nice, it has cold water and coffee all day, the afternoon happy hour snacks are pleasant and the breakfast is fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the proximity to Uptown center for shopping and restaurants. October 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Whatyouknow Subpar This is the worst Sheraton I have encountered thus far for customer service. Front desk clerk had no knowledge of Gold and Platinum perks. When checking in at 4pm I was told rooms would not be ready for 30 minutes, even though check in was at 3pm. Hotel shabby, carpets stained and filthy, beds worn and need of replacement. Bathroom had mold growth and plumbing issues. I had a hospitality suite and was located right next to elevators and a ice machine, so noise was a factor. March 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by THawkins Fabulous Stay! This stay is one of the highlight of our cross country travel! The room was clean and well appointed. The staff were truly a pleasure. This was our first experience with Club access and we will now look for it wherever we stay! Breakfast was great and the appetizers in the evening were wonderful. We were there two nights and the menu changed both days giving a touch of local flavor. We look forward to coming back to Albuquerque in the future and staying here! October 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by YVKC We're definitely coming back! My fiance' and I wanted a quiet, relaxing weekend getaway and this hotel met every need we had. The rooms were very nice and clean. The salt water pool and jacuzzi were therapeutic and inviting. We upgraded to Club Room access which supplied us with endless Starbuck coffee treats along with snacks, appetizers, and breakfast throughout the day. The staff was friendly and very accomodating. We can't wait until our next stay. We will definitely be coming back! February 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by ff1046 roach motel Staff was rude from the moment I made contact . Upon entering my room ,i get in the shower,shower was full of hair and the shower head was broken. I called to see if they could fix it not once but Twice with my calls being ignored ,it NEVER GOT FIXED . 10 dollars for wifi was ridiculous but not more than your 75 cents for local calls ! I was going to stay my entire vacation in this hotel , glad I didnt . Never staying in this hotels again July 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mginsd Amazing Customer Service I stayed at the Sheraton Uptown for 2 nights while attending a conference. Every single staff person I came into contact with was extremely friendly, and helpful. The room was very well furnished. I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The food for the conference was super tasty, and the food staff were great. And lastly, the technical staff, and meeting room staff accommodated every request and took care of everything for us. September 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SuzieQ53 Great Facilities and Outstanding for Good Nights Rest I was travelling through Albuquerque with my 83 year old mom as we had attended a funeral in Denver and were returning to Phoenix, AZ. We arrived at 9:30 pm and I was able to get in a quick workout in the center, swim in perfect temperature pool, and fell into bed with the best pillows and bedding in the industry for sleeping soundly! I also used the computer center in the lobby and love how Sheraton meets my every need. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MandJF This hotel has great staff! Staff at this hotel are accommodating and friendly! They consistently make my stay a pleasure! October 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Garyspg Second Home Completely enjoyed my stay. Ivan is managing to perfection, and Adele is the "Hostess with the moistest." Dianne and Judie were extra special to start the day with at breakfast, and the front desk staff were wonderful. October 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Hall2013 Manager never contacted us The room felt dirty and old. The carpet and walls had stains. We received poor housekeeping (e.g. no soap, shampoo, conditioner replaced for a 4 day stay). No free wifi. No acknowledgement of being an SPG. We requested that the management contact us while we were staying there and never received any call even now a week later. Front desk staff were nice, but otherwise a negative experience. July 29, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Karen39 I was told that sheratons are no longer giving free upgrades for gold status even when a room is available. I was told that the Sheraton hotel chain will no longer be giving free upgrades for spg gold members. Sheraton will only upgrade platinum spg members. I was not upgraded and when I got my bill the hotel was trying to charge me for an upgrade when we were not upgraded. I was upset that hotels within the sherton chain are no longer giving gold members free upgrades when rooms are available. December 30, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jake Mostly good and certainly comfortable Staff was a little overwhelmed - though there were alot of soccer people there so they had their hands full. Perhaps some additional staff on when you know you're going to have a high volume/high maintenance occupancy such as a soccer tournament. Those people take up more time and need more attention than businesspeople. Still they tried hard and made us comfortable. February 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by and1 very nice hotel, good location, great club facilities Stayed in the club level and were delighted by the breakfast, evening supper and service provided there. The rooms were very comfortable, location excellent, the general feeling of being in a hospitable hotel environment. the only minor negative was upkeep of fitness center equipment, one or two not working properly, equipment TV connections not working. April 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by agonales1 Service was great I did order room service and it took an hour and a half after being told it would be forty minutes, other than that the staff was very friendly and helpful especially the girl who brought my breakfast on Wednesday and Thursday. October 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VictoriaF Two nights great overall Dispite many tiny needs (forgot razor, TV accidentally unplugged, arriving very late) the staff was endlessly patient and fast with fixes. Young front desk folks, very busy at times, always helpful with speed. Lots of well-behaved quiet dogs! I don't anticipate need to return but if I do, wouldn't hesitate for a second to stay here with my dog. Thanks! February 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JudyVW56 Wonderful hotel This is an outstanding hotel. All of the staff were very friendly and service-oriented. I felt valued and appreciated. I would definately stay there again. It is an older building, but lots of updates and very nice rooms and services. I would have liked to have a small refrigerator in the room--but that's just me! Staff were all so helpful and nice. July 23, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by alkj The staff essentially forgot we were there Prior to check in called prior to check in and requested extra pillows. on check in we were told they were in the room. They were not. Had a major plumbing issue when the toilet and and tub backed up into and overflowed through the sink contaminating our toiletries as it flowed over onto the floor. Maintenance was great, showing concern that the part was going to have to be ordered. I had to request another room then was asked for out original room key before we even got the new room key. No one from Sheraton ever got back with us that day or the next. We did not even get the wake up call we asked for. We felt as though they wanted us to disappear. .Poor service at the grill for breakfast. Had to go back to the kitchen both mornings to get someone to seat us. when we finally went to the front desk on Sunday morning the response was "not again". We were not alone in that problem. It was a theme with all the diners in the grill. Food was great once we got it. May 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Flicka Albuquerque Sheraton Overall the stay was good. Some areas better than others. The staff was very attentive to our needs and the club floor was good. The woman who staffed the club lounge was exceptional. For our six night stay the only thing that was a big disappointment was that the sheets on our bed were not changed even once. April 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by BoilerSal Restaurant Issues Understaffed and the quality was horrible. We finally decided to go to the buffet since no server acknowledged us for 15 minutes. The pancakes were rubbery and one couldn't even cut them with a knife. It took over 30 minutes to get a glass of water after repeatedly asking for a glass. Glass was brought and it was dirty!

Work began on Sept. 30 to install drainage improvements and repave Park Ave. between Hinton and Greenville avenues. The work is part of the City of Wilmington's 5-Year Improvement Plan.
City Council heard a presentation on proposed improvements to the parking lot adjacent to the Hannah Block Historic USO Building/Community Arts Center.
Work is underway to replace an old concrete underwater retaining wall on the riverfront at Muters Alley. As a result, one block of the Riverwalk is closed between Orange and Dock streets. All businesses will remain open.
Lane closures on Rose Avenue, Mallard Street and Widgeon Drive through August 30 while the roads are repaved as part of the city's 5-Year Improvement Plan.
There will be single lane traffic on Longstreet Drive between Shipyard Blvd. and Pine Valley Dr. from Aug. 26-30 so that the road can be repaved.
A small section of Rose Avenue just north of Andover Drive will be closed from Monday, August 12 through Friday, August 16 so that crews can install drainage improvements in preparation for repaving the road.
Crews are completing drainage improvements and have begun installing sidewalk along Greenville Loop Road between Greenville Village and Bradley Creek Elementary. Traffic delays can be expected as the work continues.

As travel junkies, it's no surprise we have a few things on our holiday gift wish list this year involving travel. See what's at the top of our list for 2013.
"Picture this: You're on a long car ride, and suddenly, the dog begins to lick the condensation on the outside of your water bottle. Shoot! She needs water. But what to put it in? Don't get caught in a pinch! These squishy pet travel bowls fold up so small, you can literally take them anywhere. An added bonus: they're super cute!" -- Allee, Interactive Producer
"What's the one thing we never leave home without? Our tablet, of course! I could forget my passport, but never my tablet (or iPad – whichever you prefer). And protection is key, so take care of it with the Tablet Folio from Fab.com." -- Rani, Managing Producer
"I've found when I travel with jewelry I tend to only bring a few special pieces, which would perfectly tuck into this chic jewelry pouch. I'm usually not a fan of monograms, but the gold, block letters still feel modern." – Sara, Interactive Producer
"The one thing I can't travel without is a good pair of headphones, but I still can't bring myself to drop $200 on a pair.  Eskuche Control v2 headphones have all the quality, comfort and style of a high-end pair of headphones, but at a much more reasonable price. The retro styling keeps you hip while killing time at the airport or falling asleep on the plane, and the square, plush ear cups fit comfortably over your ears, so you can avoid the dreaded earring poke." -- Amanda, Interactive Producer
"The Contigo travel mug  is the perfect vessel for road trips. When you fill it with your beverage of choice, you don't need to worry about spilling anything if the mug topples over during a hard turn … unless it's filled with Pellegrino, as it doesn't always work well with carbonated drinks." -- Arthur, Video Producer
"I am a huge fan of watches. After scouring websites and retail stores, I found this affordable, yet sleek and classy Skagen watch – it's the perfect gift for a watch lover." – Ben, Interactive Producer
"If you travel a lot, making your destination feel a little more homey is always a plus and a  Book Dock by Rich Neeley Designs  can do just that. Every dock is unique and fits a variety of tablets and smartphones. I love that they keep my devices in one steady place, too, so I can avoid losing my smartphone in a hotel room's unfamiliar nooks and crannies." – Liz, Photo Editor
"I'm obsessed with SUP (stand-up paddleboarding); I even have even taken up SUP yoga. The only problem is there's no easy way to carry those giant boards around. My problem is solved with this Tower inflatable stand-up paddleboard! Now I can easily carry my board when I travel, as it folds up, comes with its own carrying bag and even fits in the overhead compartment on a plane. Perfect for my next trip to Hawaii." -- Kathleen, Interactive Producer
"With the Farmers' Almanac predicting a nasty 2013-2014 winter season, it's time to get back to the basics, with this sturdy, yet sleek long  winter coat from The North Face. I'm hoping it will keep me warm in the wilds of Montana this winter!" -- Lisa, Interactive Producer

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (AP) -- Nicaragua has inaugurated a solar farm that the government says will benefit 1,100 homes.
The state-owned National Company of Electricity Transmission, or Enatrel, says in a statement that the array includes 5,880 solar panels. It says that Japan donated $11.4 million to build the solar farm and that Nicaragua invested $530,000.
Enatrel said Thursday that the farm will generate enough energy to supply 1,100 homes that consume an average of 150 kilowatt hour a month.

EL-P: A Scanner, Darkly
It seems a lifetime ago. Destruction screaming through the air, deep into the city, smashing into the skyline's metal-and-glass spines. The nation cocooning into fear, paranoia, and delusion, succumbing to hallucinations of wholeness via consumerism, a population drugged to grab the party line and move to the front of the checkout line. As if nothing ever happened.
