Evergreen, Shrubs
The fuchsia comes from wet, mountainous areas, mainly in tropical America. Most fuchsias bloom from late spring to first frost (and some bloom even longer), bearing unscented flowers frequented by hummingbirds. Popular showy-blossomed fuchsias are forms of F. x hybrida and are discussed under that heading.
Some species fuchsias have blooms that are smaller overall than those of hybrids; others bear large, tubular flowers in unusual colors. Fuchsias grow best in cool-summer areas with much moisture in the atmosphere and soil. Plant in-ground fuchsias in full sun in the Northwest; give potted ones there and all fuchsias farther south either morning sun or all-day dappled shade. If you live where fog rolls in on summer afternoons, any place in your garden will supply ideal conditions. Where summers are warm, windy, or dry, seek or create favorable exposure protected from wind and hot afternoon sun.
A heavy mulch (1 1/2–3 in. thick) helps keep soil moist in hot climates. Frequent overhead sprinkling is beneficial in several ways: it keeps leaves clean, discourages some pests, and counteracts low humidity. Blooms appear on new wood, so do any pruning before spring growth begins. In addition to removing broken or crossing branches, you can prune as little or as much as desired to maintain size or to shape the plant.
From Mexico. This evergreen grows to 5 ft. tall and wide, with heart-shaped, light green leaves to about 8 in. long. Blooms from winter into spring, bearing pendent clusters of orange-red flowers to 3 in. long. Resistant to fuchsia gall mite.
Native to Chile and Argentina. In virtually frost-free areas, attains 10 ft. or taller and as wide or wider. In the Northwest, will reach 5–6 1/2 ft. tall and wide if not frozen back; can grow 4–5 ft. in a season after being frozen back. Profuse production of drooping, 1 1/2-in.-long, red-and-violet flowers in summer and fall; especially floriferous when chilly fall rains start and not much else thrives. Oval, 1/2–1-in.-long leaves grow in groups of two or three. Very vulnerable to fuchsia gall mite. This is the parent of most hybrid fuchsias, which have inherited its mite susceptibility.
Fuchsia procumbensFrom New Zealand. Prostrate, spreading growth to about 6 in. high and 3–4 ft. wide. Heart-shaped, half-inch-long leaves. Tiny, petalless flowers in summer deserve close inspection: they have pale orange sepals with green markings and purple tips, and their anthers and pollen are bright blue. Showy, 3/4-in. bright red berries follow. Good as a groundcover and in containers. Resistant to fuchsia gall mite.
The vast majority of fuchsias with showy flowers fall into this hybrid group. Many hundreds of selections are sold in the West, offering a wide variety of combinations of all colors in the range. Sepals (the top parts that flare back) are always white, red, or pink. The corolla (the inside part of the flower) may be almost any color in range of white, blue violet, purple, pink, red, and shades approaching orange. Flowers range from shelled-peanut size to giants as big as a child's fist. Some flowers are single, with just one layer of closely set petals in the corolla; some are very double, with many sets of ruffled petals in the corolla. Small-flowered types often have small leaves, while big-flowered sorts have large leaves.
The plant form varies widely; choices range from erect-growing shrubs 3–6 ft. high and wide to trailing types grown in hanging baskets. You can also train (or buy) fuchsias as espaliers and standards (miniature tree forms).
Gardeners in California should note that, due to susceptible parentage, many if not most hybrids are susceptible to mite damage. Mite-resistant selections include 'Carnival', 'Mrs. Victor Reiter', and 'Trumpeter'.

Western Digital WD TV Media Player (2014)
Editors' note: This is an abridged review of the Boxee Box, as much of its functionality, including Netflix, Vudu, and Hulu Plus, is promised in future firmware updates. We'll re-evaluate the Boxee Box by D-Link after those updates have been added (at which time the rating may change).
Boxee got a head start on the Internet TV revolution, with many users becoming familiar with the open-source media-streaming platform because it was an easy way to add functionality to their first-gen Apple TVs (albeit through an unauthorized hack). But despite that head start, the finally released Boxee Box by D-Link is already playing catch-up in a product category crowded by Apple TV, Google TV, Roku, connected Blu-ray players, and game consoles.
Though it has an attractive user interface and supports playback of almost any kind of digital media file, it currently lacks popular streaming-media services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Vudu--all of which Boxee says are coming soon. Boxee also does a decent job of trying to collate all of the free video content available online, but the information is often outdated or inaccurate. There's no doubt that the Boxee Box has potential, and the company is promising many of the updates before the end of the year, but until then, buyers should hold off until Boxee catches up with the competition.
The Boxee Box's box
The Boxee Box's exterior design is like no other home theater gadget we've seen. It's designed to look like a cube, but one of the corners is chopped off, so it gives the impression that it's sinking into your TV cabinet. Its glowing green Boxee logo and sharp, protruding edges give it a geek-chic charm that's great for those who like to show off their tech, but those same qualities will make it appear garish to those who want their tech to blend in. There's no denying that it's eye-catching (you'll get a lot of "What is that?"), but its relatively tall height (4.6 inches) and "unstackability" make it less practical for cramped home theater spaces.
The ports are located around back, including HDMI, and analog and optical digital audio outputs. (There are no analog video outputs for those with older TVs.) Two USB ports are available on the back, too, for connecting a portable hard drive full of content. There's an Ethernet port, but also built-in 802.11N Wi-Fi, so you won't need Ethernet connectivity in your living room.
Double-sided remote
The included remote feels almost as convention-breaking as the Boxee's cubelike cabinet. Though the front side is pretty standard, with a directional pad, play/pause button, and a menu button, the back has a full QWERTY keyboard, to take the tedium out of entering search phrases onscreen.
The remote design seems genius at first, but it loses a lot of its luster in real-world use. All but one of the keyboard buttons are the same size and aligned in a grid, which means critical buttons like Enter, Menu, and Delete aren't easy to see at a glance. The lettering on the keyboard buttons is also a relatively dark shade of gray, which makes it difficult to see a darkened home theater. Backlighting would be great, but glow-in-the-dark or even just white lettering would make a big difference.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)MAJOR QUAKE PREDICTED FOR CALIFORNIA, prediction based on sightings of elusive oarfish
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 21st, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) A rash of recent oarfish sightings in California could portend a disaster for the Pacific Rim state as traditional folklore and anecdotal evidence suggests. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Oarfish are denizens of the deep and are rarely seen at the surface, or on the beach. However, within the past few weeks, two oarfish have washed up on California shores.In Japan, there is a traditional correlation between oarfish and earthquakes that dates back for centuries. Traditional Japanese folklore says that oarfish beach themselves as a warning to the people before an earthquake. The normally elusive fish, which can be up to five meters in length, are said to be messengers from the palace of the Sea God. Although scientists have not properly studied the matter, there does appear to be an anecdotal correlation between oarfish sightings and major earthquakes. Most recently, in the year before the massive March 11, 2011 earthquake in Fukushima Prefecture that took some 18,000 lives, Japanese fishermen reported a rash of oarfish sightings. These reports were made as early as March, 2010, following a major 8.8 quake in Chile. A possible scientific explanation may be that deep-sea fish, such as oarfish, are more sensitive to seismic shifts and stress, and somehow respond to the tectonic pressure that builds before an earthquake by coming to the surface. Does this mean the clock is ticking for Californians? It is still too early to tell. Two sightings, no matter how close together or rare, do not make for a verifiable trend that can serve as a reliable warning. Even if the beachings do correlate with a quake, it is still impossible to predict just when and where the quake will strike. That a major quake will someday occur in California is a foregone conclusion. [media id="417"] To be clear, the only evidence then is traditional Japanese folklore, which in a scientific sense isn't evidence at all. However, not all folklore is nonsense either. Last week, it was revealed that the many Yeti sightings in the Himalayas could be based on the sightings of an uncatalogued bear species wandering the area. The DNA evidence, if it is to be believed, suggests that people in the region are not necessarily hallucinating or hoaxing when they report they are seeing something. The sensitivity of certain animals to seismic shifts has also been reported since ancient times, however scientists are still yet to verify a link between bizarre animal behavior and earthquakes. Much of the evidence is thought to be the result of confirmation bias and not actual evidence of a pending quake. Still, it will be interesting to watch the beaches of the California coast and wait to see if any more messengers of the deep arrive on our shores. If they do, and a major earthquake follows within the next year, then scientists will have some deep diving of their own to do. A birth foretold: click here to learn more!

For the glaze:
For the ham:
• Preheat the oven to 150C.
1. To make the glaze, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions, star anise and cardamom, and saute for 4 minutes stirring with a wooden spoon.
2. Add the peaches and rum and saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the white wine vinegar and cook for 4 minutes.
3. Add the sugar and let cook for a further 4 minutes, ensuring the sugar has dissolved completely.
4. Remove the star anise and carefully pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. (The glaze can be made up to 2 days in advance.)
5. Remove the skin from the ham to reveal the fat. Using a large sharp knife, lightly score the fat of the ham in a large diamond pattern.
6. Place the carrots, celery and onion in the bottom of a roasting pan and set the ham on top of the vegetables.
7. Brush the ham with the glaze and place uncovered in the oven. Continue basting the ham with the glaze every 30 minutes until the ham is heated through, about 21/2 hours.
8. Remove the roasting pan from the oven and transfer to a large cutting board. Slice the ham into 1/2 cm thick slices and arrange on a serving platter.
9. Strain any pan drippings into a small bowl and serve with half of the remaining glaze to serve with the ham.
10. Use the rest of the glaze for the roasted peaches.
For the vinaigrette:
For the salad:
• Preheat oven to 210C.
1. To make the vinaigrette, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil on a baking tray and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool completely.
2. Once cool, roughly chop the tomatoes into a paste and place in a medium mixing bowl with any leftover juice. Add the lemon zest, shallot, vinegar and olive oil, whisk well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and reserve.
3. Blanch the green beans in a pan of boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. Strain and pat dry.
4. Cut green beans into 4cm pieces on an angle and place in a large mixing bowl with the raw halved tomatoes.
5. Gently toss the green beans, tomatoes and fresh basil with the vinaigrette and season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Spoon the salad onto a large platter and serve.

Bookkeeper, offered at low price by Avanquest, includes all major accounting modules such as accounts payable/receivable, payroll, inventory, reporting, time and job billing, and purchasing. The advantage is that you do not have to purchase these modules separately. They are all included and work together. The software has a workflow layout that you may be familiar with if you have used Intuit or Sage products. Bookkeeper is simple to use and light enough to run on most systems – even older XP machines.
This accounting program has slipped a bit in our review lineup – not because it has changed, but because it has not improved much in the last two years and is not scalable. Our higher-ranked products constantly evolve to suit their customers' needs and are able to grow with your company. However, the newest version of Bookkeeper is compatible with QuickBooks and Quicken formats, which could be helpful if you need to share data with an accountant who uses QuickBooks. This software is not an online solution, but it can send invoices and estimates via online email accounts such as Gmail and Yahoo.
We will retest this software if a new version comes out in Q1 of 2015; however, at this time, the software has experienced few changes since our previous series of tests. In terms of basic accounting, it can create invoices, save customer and vendor information, produce general ledger and journal reports, print shipping labels, configure payroll and track inventory. Many of the forms include the ability to add custom fields, and you can store images with item files. It has quick search tools for finding any type of data.
A more recently added, helpful tool gives you the ability to store customer snapshots that show customers' details, such as their transaction history, open invoices and payment history. If you are on a tight budget, plan on nominal growth and do not need to connect a POS solution to your accounting software, Bookkeeper may work for you. It can create professional-looking invoices and provide insightful reports. We have been testing this accounting software for five years and have always found it simple to use and quite functional.
Bookkeeper does not offer compatible mobile or online options with this software, but it does work with a few useful add-ons. It comes with free backup tools, labeling software and a card reader. You can add credit card processing, payroll tax software and check printing. It can export data to Excel but beyond that, it offers little integration with other software such as Word, Outlook, online backup services, mobile platforms or tax software.
Bookkeeper has fundamental accounting mastered. It is an affordable option for small organizations to invoice clients, track customers and manage payments. It can configure payroll, and it provides more than 125 preconfigured reports to give business owners insight into the inner workings of their companies. However, it is ill suited for a company that is looking to expand or is aimed to move toward a complex, cloud-based solution. Nevertheless, if you just have basic accounting needs to satisfy, Bookkeeper can handle them easily.
This accounting software includes all basic accounting modules you need to run a small organization. It can prepare invoices, manage inventory and prepare payroll. Bookkeeper can generate more than 125 reports easily and process credit card transactions.
Bookkeeper is not scalable. This is the only version offered; Avanquest does not provide enterprise or cloud-based versions. In addition, the software only receives minor updates.
For the price, this is a decent accounting program. Bookkeeper includes a familiar workflow-type interface and can easily manage basic accounting tasks. You can add the ability to import bank records, process credit cards and configure payroll taxes.

For more than 110 years, The Blake School and its predecessors — Northrop Collegiate School (1900), Blake School (1907), and Highcroft County Day School (1958) — have provided excellent education and college preparation for students in the Twin Cities area. A small group of families, who wanted to prepare their children for schools in the East, founded Blake (for boys) and Northrop (for girls) in Minneapolis early in the 20th century. Migration to the Minneapolis suburbs led to the incorporation of Highcroft — a co-educational elementary school — in Wayzata in 1958. The three schools merged to become The Blake School(s) in 1974.
Many of the traditions of the schools that merged are preserved in today's Blake. From Highcroft came strong parental involvement and one of the school colors (green). Blue came from Northrop, as did a strong drama program and Cyrus the bear, the mascot that combined with the Blake Bear as the new school's mascot. Blake's strong assembly speech and debate programs are still ongoing and successful graduation requirements, and the athletic program for both boys and girls has grown tremendously in past years. Of course the most important continuing tradition is the quest for academic excellence. Blake and its predecessors have endeavored to meet the challenge of Charles B. Newton, early Blake headmaster, who envisioned a school "not only for the wealthy, but for the worthy." At the beginning, the schools were "privileged" in every sense of the word, but over time — especially after World War II — they became more inclusive, drawing students from a variety of backgrounds. Considering the high cost of private school tuition, Newton's vision has sometimes been an elusive goal, but the school community has worked to meet his ideal with an admirable record of efforts to reach out to the broader community.
During the last century, The Blake School and its founding institutions have maintained a high standard of education and have fostered long-lasting, personal relationships among students, their peers and teachers. During the centennial year, when many alumni reflected on their memories of the school(s), one graduate said: "The experience is intense — and it never ends."
Credit for text and historical information goes to Janet Woolman, author of "Expecting Good Things of All — 100 Years of Academic Excellence," Helen De Haven Bush '52, author of "The History of Northrop Collegiate School," and to Benjamin Sherman '71, author of "The Blake School 1907-1974, A Chronological History."
The earliest predecessor of the present school dates back to 1900 and was originally founded as Graham Hall by Miss Zulema A. Ruble and Miss Carrie Bartlett. The school, which provided the opportunity for girls to continue their studies through their second year of college, was first located in a house near downtown Minneapolis. But the growing school soon moved into three neighboring houses about six blocks from its original location. In July 1914 a group of Minneapolis leaders joined forces to purchase Graham Hall and the following summer incorporated the school as Northrop Collegiate School. It was named in honor of Cyrus Northrop, president of the University of Minnesota from 1885-1911. Dr. Northrop was a speaker at the January 29, 1917 opening ceremonies of the school's new building (left) near downtown Minneapolis, which currently houses the Upper School of The Blake School.
Downtown Minneapolis saw the emergence of another private institution in September 1907, when William McKendree Blake established the Blake School, a preparatory school for boys. Three years later, an area businessman took action to put Blake on the same plane as eastern preparatory academies. Aided by Mr. Blake, Charles C. Bovey asked 16 other local business leaders to contribute $2,500 each towards Blake's first capital drive. These original guarantors hired Charles B. Newton, who was educated at Princeton and Harvard, to replace William Blake as headmaster in 1911. All but two of the guarantors served as Blake trustees when the school incorporated on May 5, 1911. Their pooled resources enabled construction of a new building in Hopkins in 1912 (left); the site is still the home campus for the Middle School and one of the two Lower School campuses.
Highcroft Country Day School was founded in 1958 as an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational, kindergarten through ninth grade school. Another strongly parent-driven project, Highcroft was designed to provide an exceptional education, near home, for students in the far western suburbs of the Twin Cities. The school building (left) was built in 1960 on land purchased and donated to the school, which had been part of the former Highcroft estate in Wayzata. Today, Highcroft is Blake's other Lower School campus.
Following graduation from ninth grade, many Highcroft students attended Northrop or Blake, and Highcroft later became a partner in the four-year process that resulted in the merger of Northrop, Blake and Highcroft on August 15, 1972.
The Blake Schools, as the triumvirate was known until 1987 when it officially became The Blake School, graduated its first co-educational class in June 1975. In the years since the merger, The Blake School has grown and prospered. This can be attributed to the active involvement and support of the extended school community and to the students, faculty and staff, who strive to fulfill personal educational goals and to live up to the stands set by other community members throughout this century.

"OMG, I could cry, this was so delicious. Skipped the olives (not my fave) and sugar, and added avocado and tomatoes. Such a forgiving recipe! Love it. Perfect for slow-carb, 4HB (four-hour-body diet), or just anyone!"
"Delicious. Next time, I will cover the entire casserole dish with foil before putting in the ingredients - it did leave quite a dark mess on the walls of the dish, without it.

Hi all,
I have looked at countless sites and patterns and have had no luck finding either one of these. I received them both from a great, great aunt in the '70s. I think one pattern is much older, based on her life and the markigns. It is marked Wm Rogers with eagle and star. It is quite intricate. I have the meat fork and ladle (monogrammed). Here are links to the pattern images.
The second is newer, I believe. It is marked Wm Rogers with eagle and star but also has the IS marking. I have a service for 8, as well as serving pcs. All are in the original Int'l Silver yellow storage box and guarantee paperwork. Here are links to images of this pattern.
Thanks in advance for your opinions and expertise!! I'm crosseyed from looking at sooo many similar patterns! :-) |

A recently prepared report for the United Paperworkers International Union speculates that three International Paper Company landfills are causing some type of environmental damage, the extent of which cannot yet be determined. However, company officials stressed that the landfill the company now uses is one of the best managed and environmentally sound industrial waste sites in the state.
The Alice Hyde Hospital will begin transferring patients to other hospitals in preparation for a strike by the hospital's nurses. Meanwhile, the nurses have charged that the hospital has released misleading information to the media about their contract demands.
Town officials in Moriah say the community can effectively handle the anticipated growth the new shock incarceration prison is expected to provide later this year. The state Department of Correctional Services anticipates that 363 people will eventually move into the area once the prison is operational.
Picketing guards made circles in the snow outside Adirondack Correctional Facility, holding signs of protest as they walked around in cold, sharp winds. The informational picket held by correctional officers during their non-working hours was not a strike, but a message to the public that they do not believe their concerns are being addressed at the minimum-security prison.
The Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart are withdrawing their administrative and spiritual services from the Champlain Valley Hospital as of July 1. The Grey Nuns founded the hospital in 1910, and have provided services in both the hospital and nursing school ever since, although it is a nonsectarian hospital.
The Ellenburg Kiwanis Club has obtained 450 signatures in an effort to keep the Ellenburg State Police substation in existence — and petitions are still being circulated. The club is working against a Feb. 23 deadline, at which time the substation lease expires.
State Sen. Robert C. McEwan is attempting to incorporate a Lake Champlain bridge and a new North Country superhighway into the federal Interstate Highway System. The superhighway would extend east and west across the northern part of the state, connecting Ogdensburg with Rouses Point.
A dispute over the seniority status of Teamster Union members involved in a transfer from a Montréal to a Plattsburgh local has developed into a $500,000 damage suit against the union's New York State Joint Council. Eleven members of Local 648 filed the suit in U.S. District Court, contending that their seniority rights were protected by a contract already in place and could not be nullified.
Plattsburgh Mayor Leander A. Bouyea received a letter from the acting regional council for the federal Emergency Administration of Public Works, advising that the injunction restraining the Public Works Administration from financing the Plattsburgh municipal power plant has been dissolved, and the Public Works Administration is now in a position to finance the project in accordance with the terms of the government order.
Less than 50 percent of the total number of automobiles in Clinton County have been registered for 1938. Motor Vehicle Bureau Cashier Charles Anderson said 5,850 passenger cars have been licensed in the county since the plates went on sale. There are about 12,000 passenger vehicles in the county.
Is there gold in the Adirondack foothills? To answer that question, Franklin County is considering a new survey of its mineral resources, believing that Mother Nature, in creating the oldest chain of mountains, could not have skimped Franklin County while generously endowing neighboring regions such as Lyon Mountain and Mineville with valuable natural resources.
The possibilities of winter automobiling for pleasure were demonstrated by a party of Montrealers who came to this city and went with their car to the summit house at Silver Lake. The party left Montréal in a handsomely equipped six cylinder Russia-Snyder limousine, which weighs more than 6,000 pounds.
The final steps in the merger of the Clinton and New York Telephone Companies occurred at a meeting of the stockholders of the new organization held at the offices of the New York Telephone Company at the corner of Clinton and Oak streets. New officers and directors were elected, thus bringing to an end the existence of the business career of the Clinton Telephone Company, a large part of the stock of which was held by local businessmen and in which Plattsburgh generally took a lively interest.
Frederick Poulin, who alone now occupies a cell in the death house at Clinton Prison at Dannemora, must pay the extreme penalty of the law in the electric chair some day next week, Governor Sulzer having refused to intervene in his case. Despite the near approach of the time when he must take the short walk, which will end in his death, Poulin remained cheerful. It is expected that there will be nothing out of the usual in his execution.

With how this is looking to be I can't wait.

Nov 6th 2009 3:28PM You know what would be a fun quest, have to go to CoT and help Deathwing make the Demon Soul or something like that. I know it would seem evil on our parts, but imagine if we had to how much of an epic instance that would be. If not that, of course you'd go back to help the red dragonflight defeat Deathwing at Grim Batol. Mind you the latter one would probably seem the most obvious. Now here's a question I've always wanted to know about Deathwing since he's basically magma now if he were to spend a little too much time in the water would his body just turn into molten rock or is he suffering from a curse or some sort?
Patch 3.3 PTR: Sound files may reveal fate of the Lich King {WoW}
Nov 5th 2009 1:46AM My problem with Mograine being the new Lich King is how will he resist the taint. Yes, he was a Death Knight, however, the problem lies in where he was a servant of the Lich King. Doesn't that imply that he may not be truly suited, would he not be corrupted once more, would he follow Arthas' path as well? To me Bolvar seems like the best choice. Having resisted the Lich King's power for months, still holding onto hope, and certainly not give up. In my eyes Bolvar would seem the best choice because well he's untainted by the power of the LIch King.

Now, another question i have is what happens when the Horde beat Saurfang's son do we hear/see a different scene or do we get to see Muradin and the alliance. So many questions so many speculations i feel like a little kid in a candy store. This is going to be one epic patch I really can't wait :D

Has anybody given this any thought? I have and there are too many choices. What should I do? Something? Nothing? Everything? Anything?
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO confused!
Not to mention that they are soooo expensive!
I don't know what we're going to do.... I was reading things about being online at 3 a.m. on the right day out to book the things you want.... options to book some excursions directly with the tour companies to save money but maybe not getting back to the ship.... not to mention the age differences between my kids, finding something they both will like and can both go on..... left my head spinning :dizzy:
Hoping that Lou or someone who has cruised before can make some suggestions.
Well at Grand Cayman, try to do a stingray swim...very cool, very fun. Or do shopping here.
In Key West, do a jet-ski tour or deep sea fishing/swimming. after you fish they might take you to a reef for swimming (you can actually see Nemo and Dory Live!!!). If you want to do land tours, see Duval Street (watch childrens eyes though), go see Hemmingway House, Truman's Little White House, take the conch tour...oh and definately stop at the Southernmost Point (Mandy...do i see a really bad indie film) oh and go to the Lighthouse. Key West is very cool...oh and they have a sunset party EVERY NIGHT at Malory Square (if you have time in port it's a great time)
I'm trying to think of what we did in Cozumel...hmmm shopping...we didn't have that much time there.
Then you have Castaway Cay...just have a relaxing day doing a bunch of Disney themed things!!
So, are you going on the cruise Paul and Mandy? If yes, then YAY! If no, then WHY?
if Mandy and i had the denero...we probably would!! I wish we could!! I was on a family cruise on a Royal Caribbean ship that had the same itinerary. and that was what we did...and i have visited the keys for a long weekend (very cool).
when I went on the cruise I was scheduled to parasail in Key west..d/t weather we had to cancel so we just toured the island on our own..went to southern most point and all the famous bars :)
in Grand caymanI did the tour that went to turtle farm, **** and then snorkeling with the sting rays....I believe that one was booked thru Disney
in Cozumel I booked my own dolphin swim at Chakanab(sp)? Park, we walked around the park then did the swim it was cool, hung out on the beach etc. when we went back by the ship we went to Carlos and charlies and walked around that area a bit....you have to take a taxi to the park, there is a place to catch the taxis and a sign that tells you how much you should be paying for the taxi so you don't get ripped off
d/t weather we never made it to castaway cay....I was going to parasail there after the other one was cancelled.....before that I just planned on taking it easy and checking out the island...but never got to do either....free drinks on the ship for a few hours though :)
We did the glass bottom boat at Castaway Cay. If it's still offered, DON'T DO IT!!! We didn't get to see much and I felt it was a waste of time and money. Will you send me a postcard from Castaway Cay T-Nina?
Also, don't feel the need to book an excursion at every port.....enjoy the ship!
We had almost decided to do Key West on our own, on foot for the most part. Kayaking through the everglades sounded interesting though. The problem is too many choices and too little time.
It is Cozumel and Grand Cayman that are giving me fits. I would love to see the ruins at Cozumel, but one of the reviews I read for one of the excursions said the "ruins" were fake. Maybe some are and some aren't?
I'm really not a "beach" type person. I would rather be doing something exciting. We are definitely going to book the parasailing at Castaway Cay. That is the only thing we have decided for sure.

Department of Graduate Programs - Overview
The Department is dedicated to developing leaders who embody the values of the School of Business and Technology and demonstrate consistently the highest levels of ethical decision-making, social responsibility, global awareness, and professional excellence. These values-as reflected in the Benedictine heritage-include:
• Respect by valuing the dignity and worth of all people and utilize all resources responsibly;
• Fairness in treating all justly and equitably;
• Courage by acting in accordance with one's beliefs;
• Love of Learning through investigating and integrating the broad spectrum of human experience to the enrichment of life;
• Innovation to create and implement new ideas; and,
• Community through shared responsibility and developing a sense of unity while valuing the uniqueness of the individual.
The graduate management programs are designed to produce the following general outcomes in graduates:1) communicate effectively and professionally in business situations through writing, speaking, listening and electronic media; 2) appreciate globalization and its impacts on people, businesses and the economy; 3) conceptualize organizational dynamics including structure, functions and systems; 4) integrate personal values with professional ethical standards and their application to real world issues; and, 5) identify, analyze and solve strategic business problems by reflecting, creating, innovating and acting.
The MAM program focuses on the behavioral elements of management and treats them as part of a practice that can be mastered, much like medicine or law. Its graduates are skilled at identifying and analyzing organizational problems, developing innovative solutions, and making correct, ethical decisions at the most critical times. Students have international learning opportunities through our Capstone Abroad Seminar.
Detailed Program Description
The 40-semester-credits program is offered in an evening format that allows professionals to maintain their current work schedules while enhancing their knowledge and skills. The MAM can be completed in 16 to 24 months, depending on whether a student takes one or two courses per eight-week term. The nature of graduate studies is such that a significant amount of out of class assignments, research and team work will complement class instruction and, therefore, the number of contact hours is justified by the more responsible, self-directed nature of adult learners.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of the MAM program, students should be able to:
a) Understand the characteristics of effective and ineffective group dynamics;
b) Apply the theory and research of organizational behavior and leadership to management practice;
c) Describe the complexity of leading successful change initiatives; and,
d) Enlist and utilize the human resources of an organization to achieve the organization's strategic purposes.
Admission Requirements for the Master of Arts in Management (MAM)
The Master of Arts in Management program considers applicants who:
1. Submit a completed Graduate Admission Application form;
2. Have an earned baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university;
3. Submit all official transcripts of baccalaureate and graduate coursework that is relevant to consideration for admission to this program;
4. Have an earned minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 2.8;
5. Submit a Graduate Management Programs Written Essay per the instructions that are shown below; and,
6. Submit two Graduate Recommendation forms.
• Incoming students are expected to have a working knowledge of macro and microeconomics or complete an online, self-study module (MGT 6110 Fundamentals of Economics) prior to taking MGT 6307 Economics for Decision-making. This requirement can be waived if transcripts show that the student has studied these topics at the undergraduate level and obtained a grade of B or better within the past 7 years.
• Students applying for the MBA Program are expected to have a working knowledge of financial accounting or complete an online, self-study module (MGT 6111 Financial Accounting) prior to taking MGT 6440 Financial Management. This requirement can be waived if transcripts show that the student has studied this topic at the undergraduate level and obtained a grade of B or better within the past 7 years.
International applicants will need to complete additional admission requirements.
Note: Meeting minimal entrance requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission.
Topical Essay
Please prepare a 600-word (minimum) essay, typed and double spaced, using 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Applicant may choose a topic of interest (e.g., organizational behavior, communications, finance, management, or economics) but it should be relevant to the MA in Management or MBA program to which s/he is applying. The essay should represent your highest level of academic writing and demonstrate an ability to participate in a rigorous, fast-paced academic program.
NOTE FOR DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM APPLICANTS: Those applicants who are applying for the dual degree option should include an additional passage of about 250 words that addresses a topic of interest that is relevant to the second degree.
Degree Requirements
A total of 40 semester credits are required for graduation. Credit toward the degree will be given for courses with a grade of "C" or better; students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. A maximum of six graduate semester credits may be transferred from another accredited college or university if approved by The College of St. Scholastica. The MAM program must be completed within seven years, and students must make sufficient academic progress toward the degree during their enrollment. (Credits more than seven years old as of the date of graduation will not count toward the degree.) Evidence of regular progress in the program generally means registration in at least one course each semester during the academic year. Students will be allowed to register for courses only when they have met course prerequisites and have demonstrated sufficient academic progress toward the degree.
Every student must complete one of the following final program options: 1) faculty-directed conceptual or applied project; 2) Capstone Abroad Seminar; or 3) academic research thesis.
A student must complete a required common and program-specific core curriculum (27 credits), a final capstone project, and sufficient elective courses to meet the program's 40 credit hour graduation requirement. A maximum of six graduate semester credits may be transferred from another accredited college or university if approved by The College of St. Scholastica. Transfer credits may only be used to satisfy elective course requirements.

Obviously, this post is no disrespect to the victims of the terrible tragedies that occurred at Penn State. It's my, and everyone's, hope that some part of these sanctions and fines levied against the university and its football program manage to begin the healing process — both for the victims and for the obviously out-of-touch Nittany Lions football culture.
One of the biggest parts of the sanctions were the ruling that any player currently with the program can enroll in a new institution immediately, and be able to play right away. We've seen this happen before, but with a four-year postseason ban and numerous additional factors preventing competitiveness in the near future, Penn State's situation appears more dire. In a worst-case scenario world, the team loses every football player currently enrolled. In a best-case, I still believe they lose a quarter of their players. But who are those players, and where might they go? Being the major college football conference in PSU's footprint (the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions), it only makes sense that the ACC would be an understandable landing spot.
For kids looking to remain close to the State College, Pa. area, longtime rivals Pittsburgh and Syracuse are actually the perfect fit, each within three hours of the university. Additionally, potential transfers are likely looking at fellow ACC landing spots Maryland, Boston College, Virginia and Virginia Tech, all of which are fairly close by as well. Before the expected flurry of movement (or lack thereof) though, we tried to break things down for the most relevant classes — 2010 through 2013. Looking at all recruits grading four stars or higher on ESPN.com, we list out ACC offers received before ultimately deciding on Penn State. Since these were the schools that had the closest ties to them during the original recruiting process, it's a fair assumption they'll have the quickest road back to their ears. Continue reading

Yesterday, my brother and I were playing Talisman. He had a much better position than I, but I were already inside the Inner Region and in the Valley of Fire. On his turn, he landed on a space and drew Astral Conjunction, causing both of us to gain a spell. The spell he gained were Path of Destiny, and on the beginning of my turn he used it on my character, causing me to gain a quest. Now, here's the question. He argued that since he caused me to gain a quest, and since one cannot enter the Inner Region with a quest, I would be thrown out of the region. But I argued that since I were already inside, it didn't matter if I couldn't enter the region with a quest, since I already had entered it. What do you guys think?
Gaining Warlock's Quests in the Inner Region; What happens?
Posted 03 November 2012 - 08:59 AM
Posted 03 November 2012 - 09:33 AM
It doesn't directly affect you, you're already on the Inner Region, so what do you care about not being able to open the Portal of Power? However, it can still mess with you, namely if you drew a WQ that you could complete on the spot, you would have to do so and would thus be teleported to the Warlock's Cave. So if you drew say "discard 1 follower" quest and have a follower, you would have to discard a follower to complete the quest. If you drew "kill 1 dragon", you wouldn't have to leave the IR to hunt for a dragon, you could continue on to the Crown.
"A dirty mind is its own reward."
Posted 03 November 2012 - 09:56 AM
True, that would have been very unfortunate. I don't think I drew such a quest, but we didn't finish the game anyway, since we couldn't reach an agreement. Anyway, thank you for your answer!

- 06Song
International Turntablist Club DJ! DJ Fumo was born in Firenze, Italy and he grew up in Tokyo, Japan. Fumo has always been around music, thanks to his parent's enormous record collection. In middle school he discovered hip hop culture, and after meeting an influential Italian turntablist DJ (DJ Gruff) he was inspired to learn the art of the turntablism. Knowing that music was to be the main focal point in his life, he attended sound engineering school (RAC) in Toronto, Canada. In Canada DJ Fumo became close friends with PCP, an MC in the jungle realm who introduced him to Drum n Bass & Dubstep. After a few years Djing in Toronto, he moved back to his hometown in Italy where he became resident DJ at the biggest nightclub (Space Club) there. During his residency he perfected his party rocking skills. Some may call his style 'Open Format' but Fumo simply refers to it as 'DJing'. His fervent passion of studying music's origins and digging in the crates has brought him to become an outstanding cross-genre turntablist well known for his marathon DJ sets. He now lives between Florida, Tokyo & Firenze rocking every party there is. Whether it's a D&B rave, a raw underground Hip Hop live or an EDM party, DJ FUMO knows that music has no boundaries.

Favorite New York restaurant: Actually, I have two favorites. Scarpetta blew me away with incredible food and gracious service, plus I was able to stage there. The stage itself was hospitable and gracious, which I've never been able to say before about a stage. And, man, the Fatty Crab? That place blew me away. Super clean, fresh, simple and zero pretense. They cook like I wish I did.
One food you detest: Green peppers. They overpower everything. Even fresh, they taste rancid.
One food you can't live without: Sausage and cured meats. Maybe it's because I'm a man, I don't know. Or maybe it's because they're so versatile. All I know is that I crave them at all times of the day.
Most embarrassing moment in the kitchen: My first trip to the James Beard House. I was mentally and physically unprepared. I didn't think everything through. The absolute worst was that my rosemary whipped cream did not whip.
Six words to describe your food: Seasoned, bright, worldly, local, educated and simple...though I know some chefs would disagree with that.
What you'd like to see more of in Denver from a culinary standpoint: Nothing. Nada. Denver is doing just fine doing what it should be doing, which is to grow, evolve and simply be itself. The more you try to push what it should be, the less it becomes. Leave the damn city alone and nurture it for the right reasons.
What you'd like to see less of in Denver from a culinary standpoint: Less speculation on what's next for Denver! My personal philosophy is that if you do what you love for all the right reasons — and do it with grace and humility — all of the accolades in the world will come, but the moment you do it to stroke your own ego, everything falls apart. Serve a kick-ass product, treat our diners like kings and queens and stop measuring ourselves by what others are or are not doing. Let's just cook!
Denver has the best: Community-driven chefs.
Denver has the worst: Street food. Not enough of it.
Favorite cookbook: Contrary to what most people think when it comes to my food, my first culinary love is Provençal cooking. The book that I first fell in love with was Lulu's Provençal Table, by Richard Olney. Lulu was the great matriarch of the Peyraud family and responsible for Bandol wine. The book itself is a testament to their family wines and the Provençal dishes that the region is known for. It's a book that I think first made me ingredient-driven and made me focus on technique. Ultimately, I think every chef has a book that is the "nostalgic one," the one that inspires them, the one they go back to for a recharge.
You're making a pizza. What's on it? Sausage, rapini, ricotta and fresh mozzarella. I actually think they have that exact same thing at Marco's Coal-Fired Pizza.
You're making an omelet. What's in it? Braised short ribs, chanterelle mushrooms and Explorateur.
After-work hangout: Home with my family, sometimes watching television.
Favorite Denver restaurant other than your own: Ba Le Sandwich on Federal. I dream about this place and all their variations of banh mi sandwiches. I want to do a banh mi on one of our menus at Steuben's or Vesta. I love it there because that's all they do — just the sandwiches — and they do them really well. Plus, you can buy French pâtés on your way out the door.
Favorite celebrity chef: Rick Bayless. His food is pure, simple, clean and inspired. He cooks from the soul, and goddamnit, he's just so fucking cool!
Hardest lesson you've learned: Three-quarters of a bottle of whiskey a day is no way to go about life.
What's up next? Finish a Vesta cookbook and then get started on a Steuben's cookbook.
