Are hotel packages a good deal?
"Almost all of these packages offer some savings, but you'll have to do the legwork to find out how much," says T+L contributing editor Andrea Bennett. "You might find that the price of the package is actually more than the sum of its parts." Your best bet is to compare the package price with its à la carte cost by calling the hotel. Be wary of amenities that you might get anyway—such as the promise of free valet parking in a hotel that already has it—and remember to ask whether the property places any restrictions on activity credits. You're guaranteed to be disappointed if you have to order from a "special" (read: limited) menu if your package includes a dining credit.

Keep but i think the Mets should listen to offers for him especially if he could nab them a bat of impact in the OF that's not Justin Upton.

My dream is if they could nab Myers or Taveras, but I doubt that, so I say keep.
He definitely should be kept unless we can get something outrageous back.
The guy we should deal is Dickey.
"Mr. Martin Tanner, Baritone, of Dayton, Ohio made his Town Hall debut last night. He came well prepared, but unfortunately his presentation was not up to contemporary professional standards. His voice lacks the range of tonal color necessary to make it consistently interesting. Full time consideration of another endeavor might be in order."
I voted to keep, but if you could get a dream player, why not!
" You seek Yoda!
Good left hander and you need them in the rotation.

Niese is a guy that would great with Harvey as a 2,3 duo next year, assuming Dickey stays. He is under contract for a while and is just entering his prime. He offers the team great production now and will only get better.

Children's Express News Service A Voice and the Courage to Use It

IF NEWS MEDIA really want to cover communities effectively, they will need to rethink dramatically how they cover children and children's issues. Like canaries in a coal mine, the voices of American children have for years been signaling DANGER AHEAD! The nation is just beginning to listen. A powerful way for media to "mediate" the future is to invite children to become part of the journalistic enterprise—both as vital subjects and as reporters and editors.
"Kids' issues are not just a 'special interest,'" comments Suki Cheong, 16, a Children's Express editor. "They affect all of us—the youth gangs and violence, the drug culture, teen mothers on welfare. Adults are paying in fear and taxes to salvage the lives of these kids we've neglected."
In a country where 3.9 million children live in severely distressed neighborhoods, where the juvenile violent-crime arrest rate increased by 50 percent between 1985 and 1991, where births to single teens increased by 20 percent and the teen violent death rate rose by 13 percent in the same six years, we know that it is critical that children's voices (not just their bullets) be included in the national dialogue.
These statistics, along with growing awareness of the rot in juvenile institutions, social services, foster care and education, all signal an emergency that raises deepest concerns about our future as a nation.
In 1985, when the children's news organization Children's Express convened its first national symposium on the media and children's issues (there have been three), not one of the 35 news executives and journalists who participated knew of any American newspaper or broadcast outlet that had assigned a beat reporter to cover children's issues. Yet all of us knew that the news media are the vital link between children in trouble and the public, the politicians and the policy-makers.
The media's neglect of children was documented early in a 1976 study by Everette E. Dennis and Michal Sadoff that concluded that even when media did cover children's issues such as problems in schools, they tended to cover them from the perspective of adult administrators and government policy-makers, with little attention paid to children's own experience of school or community. This is still the case.
ON THE OTHER HAND, some newspapers and television stations have done good reporting, with powerful results that illustrate the potential impact the media can have on the lives of children. In 1983, for example, the Gannett News Service and a Gannett-owned television station in Oklahoma documented horrendous abuses of children in juvenile institutions. It took a year, but in the end the institutions were closed. In 1984, The Tennessean of Nashville, Tenn., ran a five-month series, "Tennessee's Shame: The Forgotten Children." The governor and legislature acted in response and passed legislation to raise children's "standard of need." In 1985, the Lorain, Ohio Morning Journal committed 25 staff members to an extended series on foster care, child abuse, the courts and a range of other issues.
The Kentucky Post in Covington declared 1986 its Year of the Child, and all of the Posts 45 full-time editorial staff were involved in a series that took an unflinching look at child prostitution, abuse in detention centers, kids and drugs, child suicides and the foster care system. "The Post dealt with so many issues in such a way that its impact on the community would be effective," wrote the teen editors who awarded the series that year's Children's Express Journalism Award for adult reporting on children in trouble.
The Indianapolis Star, where Children's Express produces a full page every Monday, has been moving children's issues to the front page. In 1993, both the Chicago Tribune and the Detroit Free Press launched initiatives on behalf of children. The Tribune vowed to cover every homicide of a child on page one and to tell the human and institutional stories behind each death. The Free Press launched a more extensive community leadership initiative, "Children First," which raised money, involved child-welfare organizations, held public forums and published solution-oriented reports and resource lists.
These and other series resulted in very substantial action on behalf of children. Legislation was passed, youth-serving staffs were increased, independent review boards were established and institutions closed, and social service agencies united to tackle the problems. In addition, some staff members of media organizations were inspired to take on roles as community volunteers.
Will children's coverage be another media fad? It's too soon to tell. Beginning in January 1995, public broadcasting and other major partners will launch a two-year, solution-oriented "national campaign to reduce youth violence in an unprecedented effort to promote peacemaking, recognize successful local programs and encourage citizen involvement in community violence reduction efforts." Moreover, the Annie E. Casey Foundation has established the Casey Journalism Center for Children and Families at the University of Maryland, and Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism is establishing a fellowship program for Children and the News, funded by the Prudential Foundation to begin in fall 1995.
BUT MOST REPORTING on children's issues still concentrates on tragedy or fortuity. Very little of even the best reporting incorporates the voices of children, so when children are included, the stories can come as a surprise. "For me it was weird to see kids that had so many worries," comments Kathleen Hustad, a 16-year-old Children's Express editor. "When I was a kid, I liked watching cartoons, I liked riding my Big Wheel and playing Star Wars. These kids today have to worry about being safe and being inside.... I think a lot of American people have the impression that childhood is carefree, that it's innocent, but for a lot of people it's really not."
For almost 20 years, Children's Express has enabled children and teens to participate actively in dialogues about youth issues—homelessness, poverty and violence, sibling rivalries, teen pregnancy, foster care and institutional abuse, drugs and alcoholic parents—bringing the voices, experiences and concerns of young people to adult and youth audiences through newspapers, books, radio and television, hearings and symposia. Throughout much of that time, Children's Express has also urged the adult news media to provide more and better coverage of vital issues affecting children and teens and to use youth voices in stories about their issues.
At Children's Express' first national symposium on the media and children's issues in 1985, publishers, editors and journalists from every part of the country spent two days learning about stories that they weren't covering—youth culture, child care, health and hunger, poverty and juvenile justice. Children's Express reporters, 13 and under, presided over most of the sessions.
Claude Sitton, then editor of the Raleigh, N.C., News & Observer, opened the symposium: "As a society, we tend to adore children as individuals, but . . . we tend to ignore them as a group. Oh, we build schools and we publish children's books and we fill Saturday morning with kids' cartoons, but beyond that, we mostly ignore children. Yet no other group is more vulnerable to misfortune, and no other is more critical to our future. . . . I know from 35 years of news work that we deal daily with issues that affect children. And yet . . . we don't focus very well. Stories and editorials fail to connect the issues . . . to children. We deny Americans the information, the perspective and the initiative to solve the problems that affect children."
INDEED, THE MEDIA are only part of a larger societal neglect. Children who do not grow up in loving families suffer from a kind of handicap our society has yet to address. Though news media coverage of children's issues has expanded greatly since 1985, still only a handful of reporters are assigned to cover children's lives. Still missing from such coverage, for the most part, are the voices of children and teens, who are clearly experts on their own experience and feelings.
Underlying this exclusion of children's voices when covering children's issues is a cultural perception of children as powerless and inarticulate, as noncontributing members of the community for whom others are responsible or as simply a media "audience" or "market segment" to be lured in with colorful graphics and connect-the-dots puzzles. As Robin Doussard, former features editor for the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Sun-Sentinel, put it, "One of the very basic problems in covering children is that not only are they not free agents, but they're not articulate. We live and die on a good quote."
But that's a gross misperception. Take this example from Jose, a 10-year-old from Brooklyn, N.Y., whose quotes could easily keep a story alive. "We live in an apartment," he begins. "I like listening to music, and I'm scared whenever I go outside.
"I would love to move out 'cause there's too much violence on this block. Most of the time, I'm terrified. I used to be very active when I was a little kid, but now I'm just scared because my mother cries every night. I never told anybody.
"I don't know what to do because when the violence starts up, we're going to have to fight back," Jose says. "But I don't want to hurt anyone. Sometimes I count on my friends. But I also count on myself. There's nobody else to protect me."
Children's Express editors get good quotes from children every day. Part of the secret, of course, is their age—14 to 18—and their ability to strike up a relationship with younger children. Another part of it, however, is patience and a real desire to talk to kids and listen to them. Adult journalists might be handicapped by their age, but that's not insurmountable. Children's Express editors offer adult reporters the following advice:
CRITICS SOMETIMES CHARGE Children's Express with publishing too many "downer" stories that do not jibe with their vision of children. But in fact, children gravitate to serious stories, rejecting most stories about products and cartoons as fluffy and patronizing, as they feel most newspaper youth sections are. The organization's mission—to give children a significant voice in the world—evolved from children themselves. The defining moment in the early life of Children's Express occurred at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. Twenty-some young reporters, ranging in age from 9 to 13, entered Madison Square Garden armed with preconvention credentials. The Children's Express publisher, an adult who had launched a magazine with the motto "by children, for children," suggested that the young reporters talk to telephone installers, hot dog vendors and construction workers to find out how a national convention is put together. Not one of the reporters followed any of his suggestions.
Instead, the young, T-shirted reporters found members of the national press corps hanging out, testing equipment and exchanging war stories. So the kids interviewed them—Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Bill Moyers, Roger Mudd, Edwin Newman and others—and learned from the veterans all about delegates and the selection process and the issues before the convention. The only real question, the adult press corps said, was whom Jimmy Carter would choose as a running mate.
Once the convention got under way, the young reporters penetrated Democratic defenses and spent substantial time on the floor. When 12-year-old Lee Heh Margolies asked Chicago Mayor Richard Daley about the riots and demonstrations at the Chicago convention in 1968, he told her that the press had invented the story, giving convention reporters and delegates their biggest laugh of the week.
The major story of the convention was reported by Gilbert Giles, a 12-year-old from Brooklyn who scooped the national and international press corps with this headline in the Children's Express convention newspaper—"It's Official: Carter/Mondale!"—and became an international story himself. In the process, the young reporters had reinvented Children's Express; instead of "by children, for children," it became "by children, for everyone." We learned that when children are given important responsibilities, their confidence and interest in the world around them grow very rapidly. It was clear that children want a voice and that they have much to contribute. As Jessica Trendyn, then 11, one of the 1976 convention press corps, put it, "I think it's very important that we're finally having a chance to talk out and tell the world what we really think."
AS CHILDREN'S EXPRESS EVOLVED, three kinds of stories emerged, along with a process. The story types include interviews, event reports and dialogues with children about their lives and experiences. The process is called "oral journalism," in which everything is tape-recorded, transcribed and then edited by teens, with guidance from adults. In the case of an interview, for example, a debriefing follows in which the teen editors ask questions and the reporters talk out the story—including their own reactions and feelings about what they learned.
What emerges, and what is absent from most adult journalism, is the child's voice and experience without filters. The Children's Express dialogues, or roundtables, are powerful windows into the lives our children are living. ". . . what frightens Patrick is growing up and becoming a monster, a mirror image of his parents" recalls Fedley, 17, a Children's Express editor. "When I finished interviewing, I had to stop. I've never had to stop a tape recorder just to breathe. It was just amazing."
The children's event reporting often takes on a decidedly frank tone. Here, for example, is how a team of four 11- to 13-year-olds reported on Ronald Reagan's first inauguration:
This inauguration is what the country wanted. This is what they wanted Reagan to do. They wanted him to put on a grand show, and they want some comforting. They want the spirit of it. It is like a nice spring day. There are mink coats and spiked heels (getting stuck in the mud). And a lot of talk . . . America is asking for so much this year that maybe we needed an $8 million inauguration, but I think it was a real waste of money—it should have been used for education or health. It's like a big party. Why look at reality tonight? . . . Nancy could feel very proud. Her husband is president and she is first lady. I think she had a lot to do with it. I think she is very strong. . . . The American people are asking for too much—much too much. The pressure is on him to be perfect. They're asking for inflation to stop, for it to be the turn of the century again—no more war, America big and strong, women in the kitchen, suburbs all over, everything so nice and peachy-keen. People wanted to go back to Saturday Evening Post covers. I don't think Reagan can do that. I don't think anybody can do that.

[T]heir fresh ideas constitute a new voice in journalism that must be heard both for the welfare of a democratic country and, on a very basic, practical level, for the future of the newspaper industry. This thesis recognizes and endorses the established innovation by Children's Express of using child sources. It acknowledges the child-advocacy mission of the organization that at times leads to the practice of advocacy journalism. It concludes that the advocacy journalism is done openly and honestly—guilelessly, if you will—and represents a type of community leadership assumed by the children. . . . Children's Express produces a legacy to hand up to adult journalists by showing a persistence to task, the conscience to take a point of view in writing, and the confidence to identify issues which are ripe for debate and action. These practices . . . are available to and appropriate for adoption by adult journalists.

In the future, interactive technologies will enable more children to express themselves in writing and in broadcast forms. Already, children around the globe are chatting with each other on interactive electronic bulletin boards. They also enjoy the opportunity to chat electronically with adults; in cyberspace, no one can talk down to kids because of their size.
News media can literally "mediate" discussions among children and between children and adults, both on local community levels and on national and international levels, by providing context, teaching civil discourse, asking good questions and giving children a chance to ask their questions in public.
IN 2O YEARS OF WORK with children and media, we have learned some important lessons:
AMY WEISENBACH WAS 16 when she talked in 1992 about what working with kids on their own media products had given her. "Children's Express isn't just about reporting for the paper. It's not only about getting kids' voices heard, although that is its main purpose," she said. "Children's Express is about exploring issues. I have learned that I don't have to wait until I'm an adult to think about issues. Children's Express has given me a voice and the courage to use it."

Hi all, I have not posted here in a year because I lost my Mother and was having a very hard time with it..but now know I cant get her back and must move on with my life, but I want to get a tattoo in remembrance of her on my ankle..My question is, back when we were fighting this disease somewhere on the net I crossed a teardrop icon to be used in email I believe it was for Alzheimers/Dementia disease and I cannot find it anywhere..Does anyone know where I might find this icon? for it is the same as I want my tattoo.
Also would like to say, caregiving to someone with Alzheimers is the hardest job I had to do in my life, and I know what you all are going through..It is a horrible disease and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you..and to those of you who have lost a loved one. Thank you to those who answered my questions and helped me! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I found a great article about tattoos, and this interesting one fits. I am so sorry to hear about your mother, Brena. May you find peace in the best memories of her. From the article: "The last one I did was for this guy who wanted a tattoo to represent his wife, who was suffering from Alzheimer's. It was a tribute to her. "The tattoo was a doorway opening up into a universe -- with a key floating in front of the door and stars and other things on the other side of it. Symbolically, this was supposed to signify that life goes on whether you have a body or not. " |

Would your mother have wanted you to get a tattoo in her memory? I ask because my mother would be spinning in her grave. I, personally think that some tattoos are great. She thought they were just terrible. I always wanted one. But now that my skin has gotten all baggy and saggy, I can't help but wonder what it would look like. |

Personally I would not tattoo- but I do hope you find the one you want. I also lost my Mom last year and it's not easy- Dad died a month after her. I just want to get through what I think will be hardest for me- Mother's Day. My dh is out of state so I'm alone - but at least I will be working which is a good thing to fill most of the day. |
I lost my husband last month. He had Alzheimer's, but that is not what killed him. I mourned for my husband during his 9 months in a care home. I took a vacation after he died to be away from reminders of him. I hope someday to be able to remember him without memories of the last few months. When I think about him, I try to concentrate on the fact that he is now at peace. |

Universal Entertainment Corp. (6425) Chairman Kazuo Okada faces a U.S. criminal investigation related to his Philippine casino project, sending the gaming company's shares down as much as 18 percent.
The U.S. asked to intervene in a lawsuit brought by Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN), which accused Okada of making improper payments to Philippine gaming regulators. The Justice Department said in an April 8 filing in state court in Las Vegas that it doesn't want the civil case to disrupt its criminal investigation into the same underlying allegations.
Okada has pushed to expand in the Philippines where the government is setting up a new casino center that would compete with Macau, where Wynn Resorts gets most of its revenue. Okada, who became a billionaire selling machines for Japanese pachinko parlors, won one of four provisional gaming licenses awarded for the Manila hub in 2008. New resorts could help the Southeast Asian nation's gaming market expand five fold to $10 billion by 2017, its chief regulator estimates.
Wynn Resorts last year forcibly redeemed Okada's 20 percent stake in the Las Vegas-based company and sued him for breach of fiduciary duty. Okada, who resigned as a director of Wynn Resorts in February, was being probed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding his Philippine casino permit, the Asian country's gambling authority said in January.
Wynn Resorts gets more than 71 percent of its annual revenue from Macau, the world's largest gambling hub.
Wynn's License
The possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by a controlling shareholder could threaten Wynn Resorts' gaming license in Nevada and other jurisdictions, the casino operator has said in court filings.
The Justice Department said in its filing that it contacted lawyers for Okada and Wynn Resorts about its request to halt evidence gathering related to Okada's activities in the Philippines.
Okada's lawyers have said they would probably oppose the request "in whole or in part," according to the filing. Wynn Resorts won't oppose its request, the Justice Department said.
The U.S. request to stay the case with regard to any overlap with its investigation is scheduled to be considered April 16 by Clark County District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez, according to the court's docket.
Shares Fall
Universal Entertainment fell as much as 18 percent today in Tokyo and closed down 16 percent at 1,666 yen.
The company has been denying the wrongdoing, "so it hadn't been fully reflected in the stock price," Kenichi Hirano, general manager at Tachibana Securities Co. in Tokyo, said in a phone interview. The report on the investigation caused the stock to plummet, he said.
Universal is cooperating fully with all investigations, according to Eric Andrus, a spokesman for Okada who works for RLM Finsbury in New York.
Michael Weaver, a spokesman for Wynn Resorts, and Michael Passman, a Justice Department spokesman, declined to comment on the government's filing.
The FCPA bars companies or individuals regulated or based in the U.S. from paying bribes to foreign officials to win business. Foreign companies and nationals also can be prosecuted if their corrupt acts were committed in the U.S.
$40 Million Payments
Universal Entertainment, based in Tokyo, said Feb. 5 that a third-party committee was investigating payments made through its U.S. unit, Aruze USA Inc., in the Philippines. The committee was looking at $40 million in payments, according to the statement.
The FBI is examining Okada's pursuit of his Philippine gaming license, any tax benefits he received and the flow of funds involved, Cristino Naguiat, chairman and chief executive of the Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corp., the gambling authority, said in January.
The case is Wynn Resorts v. Okada, A-12-656710-B, Clark County District Court, Nevada (Las Vegas).

Ashley Judd and Racer Dario Franchitti Split
by Meg at . CommentsAfter more than a decade of marriage, Ashley Judd and Scottish racecar driver Dario Franchittihave announced they are seeking a divorce.
The actress and her three-time Indianapolis 500 winning spouse released this statement: "We have mutually decided to end our marriage. We'll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed."
In a show of solidarity she tweeted, "Family Forever @dariofranchitti." He responded in kind, "@ashley judd family forever."
Judd, 44, and Franchitti, 30, have a home near Franklin, Tennessee. They wed in a private ceremony at Skibo Castle in Scotland in 2001 after a two year engagement. Serving as her maid of honor was her country singing sister Wynonna Judd.
Ashley has had a string of bad luck with her 2011 film 'Flypaper' co-starring Patrick Dempsey and the short-lived 2012 ABC series 'Missing.' The film was panned by 15 of 18 critics and received a Rotten Tomatoes rating. The TV gig aired for two months and was not renewed for a second season due to low ratings.
Franchitti fared better than his wife, winning the Indianapolis 500 on May 27, 2012 - photos here.

"special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed." yeah RIGHT SPECIAL..... that's why they are getting divorced. so SICK of people breaking up but saying this ridiculous BS....if they always enjoyed it they wouldn't be getting divorced.

We Support Pretty in Pink!
In August of 2010, the Triangle Ladies Power Lunch moved from being just a social outing to being a luncheon with a cause. Every month, proceeds from the luncheon go to support the Pretty in Pink Foundation, an organization that "serves people diagnosed with breast cancer who have limited health insurance benefits, or in many cases, no health insurance at all."
Since partnering with this outstanding organization, 12 survivors, or "Heroes," have been honored at the monthly luncheons. These women have battled a most formidable adversary, and have done so with a grace and an elegance that is second to none. In addition, each month brings a moment to remember those we have loved who lost their brave battle with breast cancer - those women who taught us what it truly means to be powerful.
In honor of her commitment to fighting breast cancer, in June of 2011, Pretty in Pink honored founder Carrie Peele with her own line item in their donor list. Now, any monies received in honor of Carrie Peele will be used to help a woman who needs a biopsy or consultation, one who otherwise would not have the opportunity to seek treatment.
It is our privilege to have these ladies join us. It is our honor to treat them to a pink limousine ride and a gift basket full of goodies to make their days a little easier. It is our honor to be in the presence of true strength.

Like so much in Inspector Bellamy, the scene mixes the curious with the commonplace, the portentous with the pedestrian, working by suggestion and inviting speculation. Everything appears to sit on the surface in this alternately charming and unsettling movie, yet little is as it seems, which makes Inspector Bellamy a fitting adieu from a filmmaker preoccupied by secrets and obsessions. Chabrol seems to have wanted to stuff everything including the kitchen sink (pun intended) into his last movie. Inspector Bellamy has so many threads, quirks, nods and feints, we are left wondering what just happened, exactly, and whether all the fuss about murder, fraud, ethical behavior, childhood rivalry and trauma, marital fidelity and erotic compulsion wasn't just a lot of stuff and nonsense to fill the idle hours of a semi-retired cop who doesn't like to travel and has no hobbies.
Famous Parisian sleuth Paul Bellamy and his preternaturally patient wife, Françoise (Marie Bunel), are summering in their country home near Nîmes when a stranger intrudes, a shadowy figure who lurks about the house until Bellamy agrees to meet him at his hotel. After some obligatory coaxing by the ever-inquisitive Bellamy, the man, who goes by the name Noël Gentil, reveals himself to be Emile Leullet, currently wanted for insurance fraud and the murder of Denis LePrince. Bellamy is intrigued by the notion that all three characters, if you count Gentil and Leullet as separate identities, are connected in some metaphysical as well as purely deductive way. Rather than turn Leullet over to the authorities, he begins his own investigation into the crime—if in fact there has been a crime: If you provide a broken man with the opportunity to end his life in a way that suits his own desires, is that murder?
Meanwhile, Paul and Françoise must deal with a visit from Bellamy's younger ne'er-do-well half-brother, Jacques (Clovis Cornillac), whose capacity for drink rivals his talent for self-pity. For all his petty thieving and hurtful remarks, Jacques exercises a powerful hold over Paul, and his presence initiates a psychodrama that parallels Bellamy's informal inquiry into the Leullet case: Paul must confront his own repressed guilt as he attempts to establish the innocence, as it were, of his brother as well as Leullet. The words doppelganger and palimpsest come to mind.
In addition to all this, Chabrol deliberately modeled Bellamy on Georges Simenon's Maigret, quoting the French writer's style and sensibility, and threw in a subplot tied to French chanteur Georges Brassens, whose lyrics play an unusual role in the film's climax. The director, working with his son, composer Matthieu Chabrol, uses the film score to evoke classic cinema: Haunting orchestration accompanies the film's opening frames as the camera pans across the seaside cemetery at Sète (where Brassens lies buried), ending with a crescendo as we look down upon the strand to find a charred and headless corpse next to a wrecked automobile. At other times, music bursts into a scene expressionistically, calling attention to the movie as movie, reminding us that it (like real life) is artifice.
For all of its layers and allusions, the real pleasure of Inspector Bellamy owes to the performances of Depardieu and Bunel, who remind us that you needn't be young, naked and in perfect shape to be sexy—not to suggest that Bunel isn't perfectly lovely. Depardieu, on the other hand, has grown even larger than his formidable reputation, yet his charisma has kept pace. His turn as Bellamy isn't particularly memorable or moving, but Depardieu hasn't lost his uncanny ability to command the screen. Something about the ordinariness of the Bellamys make them unusually likeable, and whatever viewers take away from Chabrol's eccentric last effort, they will be charmed by these always watchable artists.

Yes lilod, good point. A piece of soil,whatever size, is a gardener's or a farmer's inspiration. I remember a sight I'll never forget while on a trip in Sweden. A farmer had planted golden wheat and Bachelor Buttons in the shape and colors of a Swedish Flag (gold and blue). The wind was blowing and it looked like the flag was waving. Someone had a vision and went with it. On a much smaller scale, a 3x4 raised bed I plant Bachelor Buttons and yellow flowers, but in my mind I still see the beautiful farmer's field. |

Hello, We recently purchased a new home and need a new fridge. I have searched the archives and didn't find much recent info. Budget is about $2000. The cut out is 36" wide and 71" high, so any fridge out there would work, from what I understand. I think I want counter depth because there is an island across from the space that is pretty close. I would like a bottom freezer. I wanted a single top door but I think due to space restraints a French door would be better. Lastly, I want white. I think most brands come in white. We are a family of 4 (2 children under 3 years old). Anyone recently purchase a fridge with similar requirements that is happy with the purchase? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, I will answer my own question. I ended up with the Electrolux EI23BC30KW. No water/ice in door but there is ice in freezer. Might not connect it but will see. This and the Kitchen Aid offer the most capacity in counter depth so I was deciding between those two models. The Electrolux is "prettier" and since they were within $50 of each other, we went with the Electrolux. It goes against all that I know to make this big a purchase without more extensive research but I decided to throw caution to the wind and do it. Hopefully I don't regret it!! |
I have a Kitchen Aid side-by-side counter-depth from 2006, it is 72" tall and 36" wide. Even though it keeps the proper temp and work well for the most part, we dislike many things about it. The freezer shelves and not wide enough, making it hard for many items to fit. The ice maker had been changed out 3 times since ice like to jam-up, and then blow-out the ice motor. GE had two counter-depth units comping out, one is a Profile model PYE23PSDSS, and the other is a Cafe model CYE23TSDSS. You can see pictures and specs of them on the AJMadison.com site and on goedekers.com site. I personally would like to replace my unit with either of those GE models. The Profile has a "hands free auto fill" feature for the water dispenser, which I've seen on the standard-depth unit. But the Cafe model instead has a hot-water dispenser and a "freshness cartridge" inside the top fridge for oder-removal. |
Marmorelle- missed your post - but we had the same problem and the Elux was one of the few that would fit - It is now almost 3 years (or 4) old and still love it! Did you get the perfect temp drawer? We re-used the fridge in our reno but left space in case we want to use a slightly different fridge downstream. I also snagged it without much research (also unlike me) - they were offering a big rebate (15-20%) but I had to buy that day as the offer was really over and they had to retro it. No regrets - I replace the filters once a year and I do use the ice - mostly for sports injuries for DH (and sometimes me) Also, I brought my favorite items for the fridge and went down the line - No, No, No, No, Yes - then looked at the price and said NO - but they offered me the rebate. - Somehow things fit better in this one than most CT models. |
This post was edited by a2gemini on Sat, Apr 6, 13 at 14:02
Thanks, a2gemini. I do not have the perfect temp drawer. I bought the low end model. It does have a cool zone drawer but you can't set the temp on it. Excited about the lighting though! It is really cool. |
But you can still set the freezer and fridge temp separately - you will be amazed at the rock solid ice cream in the freezer! Enjoy!! |
Love that! And love ice cream. : ) Thanks so much! |

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 1/31/2013
The Genesis is the crown jewel of the Hyundai line, and when the Genesis sedan debuted several years ago it made a statement that Hyundai was not only a carmaker for budget-minded buyers. Three years ago, Hyundai introduced the Genesis Coupe, and it has been remodeled for 2013. It should be noted that the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe appeals to a different demographic than the Sedan counterpart, as the two are similar in name only. While the sedan is geared toward matching up against the very best in premium luxury, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is a more value-driven sports car. Despite this, the vehicle certainly offers a number of performance and comfort features that separate it from the rest of Hyundai's lineup. Consumers have three different trim levels to choose from and the base trim remains quite affordable although slightly underpowered. For the most part, the cost does not escalate substantially on the different trims and buyers should look heavily into the more-powerful higher trim levels.
The Genesis Coupe gets plenty of updates for 2013, including a styling face-lift (with cool LED lights), significantly more powerful—and less thirsty—engines, and three more gears in the automatic transmission. The sedan's top-of-the-line, eight-inch-screened navigation system has been enhanced, but the overall lineup gets simpler this year, as the 4.6-liter V-8 has been dropped.
The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has a curved, aerodynamic appearance. Its wide shape and low ground clearance add a sporty look, although very little of its design truly distances it from the competition. The styling looks somewhat indistinct as it borrows from the dramatic visuals of German sport roadsters and the muscle of Japanese performance cars. Hyundai likely relies on the lower price as a means of swaying potential consumers from the car's more visually striking foreign and domestic competition.
Predictably, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe offers very little in the way of cargo capacity and interior room and this is a main difference between it and its sedan sibling. The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe offers a scant 10 cubic feet of cargo space and this limits the customer base to those looking for a sports car to supplement their everyday vehicles. The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's design keeps drivers in mind and the difference in legroom bears this out. Those in the front enjoy an ample 44.1 inches of legroom, while rear passengers will have to settle for a mere 30.3 inches of legroom. Another major inconvenience facing rear passengers is that the windows in the back do not adjust. Suffice to say that only those with great tolerance should ride in the back. Hyundai places great emphasis on ensuring a comfortable ride with bucket seats for both the driver and passenger. The Genesis Coupe features a six-way adjustable driver seat and a four-way adjustable passenger seat. On the base, cloth comes standard, but the highest trim level comes with leather upholstery. Power front windows come standard on all trim levels.
The 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe offers front, front side, and side-curtain airbags. Anti-lock brakes come standard on all trim levels, as do traction and stability control.
Drivers have the option of three different trim levels. Still, the base is unlikely to satisfy those who want more performance and the cost escalates quickly while upgrading. Hyundai offers two very different engines. First, a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, and then the option of a 3.8-liter, V-6 engine. Both engines offer three similar trims. These include the base, R-Spec, and Premium trims. For the 3.8-liter, V-6 engine, a Grand Touring trim option marks Hyundai's attempt to reach the more performance-minded customer base. From a standstill, the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe goes from zero to 60 mph in just under six seconds as estimates range from 5.7 to 5.9 seconds. Drivers can expect 16-21/25-31 mpg city/highway and 274 horsepower to 348 horsepower, depending on the engine.
Those looking to test how fast the vehicle can go feel disappointed. The automatic transmission shifts slowly and makes it difficult to maximize the full power of the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Because of this, drivers do not achieve the effect of accelerating fast in relatively slow cars, which is one of the great pleasures of most entry-level sports cars. Drivers who spring for the six-speed manual transmission may have more success in achieving greater acceleration. The R-Spec and Premium do manage to provide a more powerful experience, although even the 3.8-liter V-6 pales in comparison with some of the other, more performance-oriented cars in its category. The Genesis Coupe does a nimble job of turning and a more than adequate job of handling routes that are not too demanding. The rear drive makes the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe a suboptimal option for harsh weather environments and should be considered more of a friendly weather vehicle.

In fact, it seems that nearly every human endeavor is seen in terms of art--except, that is, for the crafts: glass-making, ceramics, weaving, metalwork or jewelry. Pity the visual artist working in one of these fields, because, unlike the cook, the politician or the ballplayer, he needs to continually remind the viewer that the product of his labors constitutes a work of art.
The art world has long distinguished "art" from "craft" to the disadvantage of the latter. According to this view, "art" is seen to occupy a lofty cultural realm, whereas "craft" has a more down-to-earth connotation--the pure visual appeal of paintings, for example, versus the utilitarian role of bottles. This prejudice is even sometimes codified in art curricula and some museums as a distinction between the "fine arts" and the "minor arts." Little wonder, then, that many artists working in craft media self-consciously struggle to settle the argument in their own favor.
That's surely the goal of most of the artists in Glass: A Fusion of Art and Craft, an excellent show at the Arvada Center that even refers to the raging debate in its title.
The show was organized by assistant curators Susan Sagara and Rudi Cerri, and they did a good job of selecting examples by more than a dozen artists working with glass. All but one of the artists are active in Colorado, and between them they map out a broad territory that ranges from expected vessels to more unexpected sculptures.
Many of the participants address issues of art from the perspective of craft, using functional objects to achieve a union of technique and aesthetics. Lauri Thal has blown handsome trumpet-shaped compotes that recall the modern glass of 1950s Scandinavia. The simple hydrostatic forms are set off by the muted colors of the glass. Less successful are Thal's wavy, plate-glass sculptures, which likewise make reference to the medium's liquid quality; they're covered in sandblasted decorations, the work of Melissa Malm.
More elaborate technically, but still mostly functional, are the works of Brian Maytum, Susan Di Marchi and Chuck Lopez. Maytum displays a vase, a bottle and a sculptural paperweight. The bright interior colors can be glimpsed through facets cut in the clear-cased glass surfaces. Di Marchi goes a few steps further, with vases and perfume bottles that have been elaborately etched and sandblasted in geometric patterns, some of them featuring hot applied elements as decorations. Di Marchi's sense of color is superb; in one large vase that has a neoclassical feel, a creamy lavender is perfectly paired with a rich shade of teal. Lopez presents three rectilinear vases that have been mold-blown, producing deep surface ridges in a diagonal pattern both inside and out. On the exterior, the effect resembles the treads of a tire; the vases' interiors, though, are mostly white, giving Lopez's pieces a source of inner light.
Among the most interesting works are those that keep one foot in the functional legacy of glass and the other in the world of sculpture. James Clarke's perfume bottles of glass and stone differ little in concept or effect from his closely related sculptures, which he executes with the same materials. Joan Reep also blurs the distinctions between bowls and sculptures with big, blobby sea forms of swirling, earth-toned glass that incorporate metal wire and bronze. Reep makes her intentions clear: These "bowls" aren't to be used at the table.
The most ambitious of the hybrid works are the pieces by two of the region's best-known glassblowers, Kit Karbler and Michael David. Karbler and David have collaborated since the 1980 founding of their studio and workshop, Blake Street Glass, a genuine cultural treasure that has since emerged as a center for local glass-making. The duo's perfectly blown bowls, many with elaborate bases, have had their sides cut away, denying their utilitarian role. The bowls can't hold anything--other than the viewer's interest.
The standout of Karbler and David's pieces is "Mesa Llena de Color," a sculpture that looks like a decorated coffee table. Various examples of their characteristic cutaway bowls are affixed to either the plate-glass top or the legs. One witty element has a form that at first looks like a table leg; on closer inspection, one sees that the component never connects to the floor. Karbler and David have assembled so many different examples of their work in "Mesa Llena de Color" that the piece could be seen as a (not too) portable gallery.
Another group of artists presents glass that is purely sculptural and refers not at all to the functional arena. Heidi Stein's "Untitled" and "Industrial Growth" look fragile and dangerous at the same time, combining faceted glass in deep jewel tones with found mechanical elements. The juxtaposition of rusted cogs, gears and nuts with gleaming glass spikes provides just the right visual rhythm.
It's nature, and not industry, that provides J.B. Barrett and Eric Haddick with their very compatible inspirations. Both artists, whose work is among the strongest in a very strong show, principally use white or clear glass blown into phallic shapes that also suggest plants and other organic forms.

This happens every year to spring spinach and I've never been able to figure out what's doing it. The pics are of two sets of large leaves, but I have many seedlings in the bed most of which are damaged. The same bed also contains some radish seedlings, most of which have been defoliated, and lettuce seedlings which have far less damage.
I thought slugs only ate the outside of leaves. And I thought the damage from flea beetles would be lots of little holes rather than these big ones. Can you tell by looking at the pics what creature did the deed? Could there be more than one kind? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi! I'm thinking slugs did that! If I'm not careful to use the slug bait once in a while (it's organic, but I still am not wild about using it) my young cabbage looks just like that. They will go right in the middle of a leaf and start munching! A sure sign that it's a slug is to look at the underside of the leaf for little silvery trails (and the occassional slug that's napping)... If you want to be really sure, check the leaves after dark some evening and you'll probably see exactly who is doing the dirty deed. Cheers! Sunni |
Caterpillars can do that, too. The damage you show inthe 2nd image is old, some of the damage in the 1st image (towards the right) appears recent. Whenever you see new damage, go out at 10 PM or so an look carefully, including the undersides of the leaves. |
- Posted by bella_trix z6b SE PA (My Page) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 13:12
I'd second that it is slug damage. They have been very bad in my area this year because of all the rain. Like Sunni, I am using the organic iron phosphate slug bait (sluggo, etc). I'm not thrilled about using it either, but this is the first year I've resorted to it, it is working and it doesn't appear to be affecting anything else. One thing to note: after the slugs die, the hole will appear to grow larger as the leaf grows, but there will not be new holes. Bellatrix |
So it sounds like slugs. Gosh, for as much damage as there is, do you think there's a whole army or just a few athletic ones to cover a whole 8'x3' bed? I did put some sluggo plus down the other day, but there's so much damage already, I can't tell if it's helped. I've tried going out at night to look, but I guess I go to bed too early cause I never seem to catch 'em in the act. |

While I do appreciate the subtitles that comes with ToMI - as I am a huge MI fan, but I'm also deaf, and I ran into a problem that does affect me as a deaf gamer.
I was stuck for three days trying to figure out the solution to the Ninja Dave's map, then I decided to take a peek at the walkthough - guess what I found?
"The way this map works is through the audio clues. On each jungle screen, the path choices have different animal sound tied to each one, so you need to listen to the background noise to find the correction direction."
That poses a BIG problem for deaf gamers. Could someone please provide a patch where sounds can be at least SEEN if it's *that* important? I remember a few MI map quests that did have that.
Or at least give me a save game that bypass the audio part of this quest so I can move on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I even tried to follow the walkthrough query - but it did not make any sense - I guess it has to do with listening for certain noises.
Thank you!

When certain characters in a P. G. Wodehouse novel are dispatched to get in shape in some punitive establishment with a retired army colonel at its helm, they know they will suffer but they accept the sacrifice. L'Albereta offers shedding without too much sacrifice, and weight loss is where Chenot's vision of colors comes in. Your color type is determined in a first visit, when your ailments, weaknesses, and energy levels are diagnosed (mine is white fading to gray—white for lungs, gray for intestines, the color indicative of where illness tends to manifest itself). A personalized plan is then prescribed: it involves a light diet and plenty of hydrotherapy—soaking in essential-oil baths for 20 minutes, a total-body mud pack for another 20 minutes, then a hydrojet rinse. In the popular three-day plan, many people easily lose five or six pounds.
"What is harmony?" Chenot asked me one afternoon. He came to stand by the edge of the terrace. "You see this garden?" he said, indicating the lush grounds below. "These trees are happy in this land because there is the North Pole on one end and the desert on the other. These two polarities create contrasts. Contrasts are the root of all growth and evolution. Boredom sets in when a human being no longer feels that he or she is evolving."
What Chenot proposes may be as old as the trees he describes, but his skill lies perhaps in his methods of leading patients to a greater awareness of their capabilities and limits. After just three days on the Chenot diet, I felt remarkably rejuvenated and was reminded of the old proverb You are what you eat.
L'Albereta, a 57-room Relais & Châteaux hotel, is in the town of Erbusco, 12 miles from Brescia and 37 miles from Milan. THREE NIGHTS, INCLUDING SPA TREATMENTS AND MEALS, FROM $3,110, DOUBLE. 11 VIA VITTORIO EMANUELE, ERBUSCO; 800/735-2478 OR 39-030/776-0550; www.albereta.it

I spent a few hours on Morgan on 10/27 (Sunday) and the weather was great. Morgan Run was just recently stocked below Jim Bowers road so I thought it might be a good time to try out a new spot I had never fished before. Unfortunately, other people had the same idea too. I didn't get to the parking lot until 1:30 pm and by that time the parking lot was completely full. I probably ran into about 15 anglers during the few hours I spent on the water. It's great to see so many people enjoying the outdoors except when they are enjoying the same stream as you :)
The water was low and slow but there are definitely fish in the water. I didn't have much luck between so many people hitting the fish hard and simply not presenting the fish what they wanted. I'll go back again, just when not so many people are likely to be out.
fyi, when walking along the banks be on the look out for pricker bushes. They are in abundance and love hooking anything that walks by.

I've started growing my cilantro indoors, it gets plenty of sun, but lately it's started to droop. Why is this happening? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm no expert but it looks like a lot of very leggy sprouts meaning It's probably not getting enough sun. In my experience, cilantro needs tons of hot sun because I've always had somewhat leggy cilantro. |
- Posted by fatamorgana 5/6 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 11, 13 at 9:05
Are you sure that is cilantro? FataMorgana |
Yes I'm positive it's cilantro I tried one of the leaves and it was good! But they're falling now! |
- Posted by fatamorgana 5/6 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 12, 13 at 9:14
Too wet, not enough light, too crowded... Any of these could be the culprits and are often problems for people growing indoor herbs. If you have seed left, do you have a place you could direct sow some seed outdoors? You would probably meet with more success in doing that. FataMorgana |
And if that is basil alongside it is also too crowded. Basil transplants better than cilantro and you can transplant in little clumps. |
You started way too many seeds together. If you pull it up, how are the roots? And did you underwater? I've had cilantro bowl over from being too dry, too. Like Fata asked, I'm wondering if that is actually cilantro too. If it is, then did it ever grow true leaves? I ask because they all look like cotyledon only.....no actual cilantro leaves. I would start over at this point in new soil. I'm not sure of the pot size but if it's about a 6" pot, I'd plant about 8 seeds total spaced out and go from there. I'm attaching a photo of my cilantro -- note the leaves? This was three seeds started in separate cells and I bunched them together when transplanting. Got really lucky as I have never successfully transplanted this before. |

First Look at RHEL 5 - From the New, More Open Red Hat
ScuttleMonkey posted more than 7 years ago | from the reinvention dept.
220Susie D writes "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 was released today, and Linux Format has an in-depth first look (with screenshots aplenty). With RHEL 5, Red Hat aims to become even more 'open', by using a shorter and clearer SLA, improving community involvement through its Knowledge Base, and providing the new Red Hat Exchange. But what you really want to know is, yes, it does include XGL for fancy 3D desktop effects."

Louisville, located along the roaring Ohio River and home of the world-famous Kentucky Derby horse Race and Kentucky Fried Chicken, is home to many exciting attractions drawing tourists and apartment renters alike. Louisville residents are full of Southern hospitality, so long as you don't say the city's name wrong (it's pronounced "loo-uh-vull," for you recent transplants). Part Southern, part Midwestern, this unique and independent hub welcomes people from all walks of life and cultures. With small-city advantages coupled with big-city fun, you can really have it all in Louisville apartments.
This Southern city has a rich history. Louisville was officially chartered in 1780, though it wasn't until the early 19th century that the community began to notably expand. Today, Louisville's population exceeds 756,000, and the apartment renters living here in the 28th most populous U.S. city enjoy the myriad of recreational activities available here.
Sports fans will want to check out a Louisville Bats baseball game, and those looking to work on their golf swing will be pleased to know that the city offers nine public golf courses. For a family-fun afternoon, venture over to the Louisville Zoo.
Known as Bourbon Country, residents living here will also want to visit the Urban Bourbon Trail which is centered in downtown Louisville and features establishments that once served superstars along the line of Al Capone and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Art and theatre aficionados will find plenty to do here and want to visit the Kentucky Center, which features a variety of plays and concerts, as well as the Speed Art Museum, which features a robust permanent collection as well as rotating temporary exhibitions.
The is also a special attraction based in the city and features an interactive museum, educational programming, and special events.
Louisville's public transportation is served by the Transit Authority of River City (TARC), which includes buses and chartered vans. The city is also served by two major freight railroads, CSX and Norfolk Southern.
There are several higher education options available if you live in Louisville apartments. The University of Louisville is by far the most popular but other options include Bellarmine University and Sullivan University.
Some of the predominant industries in Louisville are in the education, medical research, and restaurant sectors, with primary employers that include the University of Louisville, Kindred Healthcare, and Yum! Brands, among others.
