2011 Mary Wagner New
From Will Goodman: (transcribed by jld)
+ Here is an article I just wrote detailing in brief and in part, Mary's courageous witness of charity for life.
+Please pray for Mary's hearing for Constitutional Standing set for Feb. 4.
Thanks to a special donation, I am leaving today to be present at the hearing and hopefully visit Mary. Please pray for safe travel and entrance into Canada.
Finally, here is an article I just wrote detailing in brief and in part, Mary's courageous witness of charity for life.
"Mary Wagner: Love's Prisoner of Conscience"
Mary Wagner began her full-time prolife mission in Canada after college. She served the most vulnerable in Vancouver, British Columbia, and traveled throughout the country defending life in many different ways, particularly through a peaceful, personal presence at abortion facilities. She worked with the Servants of Our Lady of Guadalupe at World Youth Day in Toronto in 2002. After that, she made numerous visits to the US to assist the servants in pro-life ministry, including sidewalk counseling, education, Frassati Outdoor celebrations of life, and a pilgrim/talk at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
During this time she encountered the religious order the Community of St. John. She took between 3-4 years discerning a contemplative vocation with much of that time spent in France at the mother house cloister. While in deep prayer at the convent chapel, Mary believed she heard the voice of Jesus Christ calling her back to serve the unborn children and their mothers in Canada, particularly those innocent ones in most imminent danger of violence. And so with the blessing of her superior she returned, maintaining a spiritual friendship with both the Community of St. John and the Servants.
Mary's unique mission of gentle love takes her to the abortion centers and even inside the facilities to share the light of Christ. She brings flowers and compassionate cards of aid to the women who are abortion vulnerable. She speaks words of peace and encouragement. And her charity is one which refuses to depart from the places of darkness and violence, even when instructed by those who wish to take the lives of the innocent to leave the scene of the crime. By God's grace, numerous mothers, fathers and babies have been touched by Mary's sacrificial Christian charity, and lives have been saved.
This mission of love combined with courage and steadfastness has not always been met well with the abortion industry and those favoring the more socialist and pro-abortion side of the Canadian government. As a result, Mary has been in prison for an overall total which surpasses three years. Her charge is "mischief". Currently she is being unjustly held in the Vanier women's prison in Toronto, and has been incarcerated since August 15, 2012 for reaching out to abortion-vulnerable mothers/children. On that day when she brought her trademark red roses and her smile, she was assaulted by members of the abortion mill. No charges were brought against these individuals.
So the question is asked, if Mary's only so-called charge is "mischief" then why is she still in confinement?
In response to Mary's quiet compassion, the government demanded that she never return to offer assistance to babies or mothers at any abortion facilities in the entire Province of Ontario. By God's grace, Mary has bravely returned three times to the killing centers knowing well that complying with unjust court orders only assists the oppressors and never the oppressed. As a result, the Crown has made Mary's current release conditional upon her signing an immoral court document stating that she promises never to be present at any abortion mill in Ontario. Again, sustained by Divine grace, Mary has refused and will continue to refuse to sign any dishonest contract with those favoring the assault on the innocent women and children. She sincerely desires that her words and actions will consistently bear witness to both the victims and the victimizers about the truth of the sanctity of all human persons. Thus, Miss Wagner has become a prisoner of conscience... a prisoner of love.
One might say that Mary is the "Queen's good servant, but God's first."
In this most recent time of unjust detention, some amazing things have happened while in she has been in prison:
1) She has helped to save the life of an unborn baby by talking to the pregnant mother in prison. (Who later came back to visit Mary and thank her for helping to save her son Alexander, who also was there for the visit!)
2) She was awarded by a pro-life Member of Parliament the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal of Honor as an outstanding Canadian who has made a lasting contribution to the good of the nation. (One of the highest civilian awards in the country.)
3) Some guards and prison staff are grateful for Mary's presence with the ladies in lockup, and state that her prayerfulness, respect and gentleness are having a huge positive impact on the population.
4) Her friend Bishop Gracias from India was elevated to Cardinal by Pope Francis to assist him with the reform of the Curia, and the new Cardinal visited Mary and celebrated a special Mass, the first ever, at the Vanier Women's Prison with other bishops and priests last year. There were many Confessions heard before Mass from a large number of penitents who were counted among both inmates and staff. Mary has written that the Holy Mass celebrated on the feast of St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross continues to bear much fruit in the lives of theses women. Deo gratias!
5) Cardinal Gracias told Pope Francis about Mary and her mission, and the Holy Father gave Mary his Petrine blessing, a personal gift, a promise of his own prayers, and a request that Mary pray for him! (Thank you Pope Francis!)
6) The cases have garnered international attention from reports by Lifesitenews, particularly when a judge had said to Mary in court that "you are wrong and your God is wrong!" This was the most widely read pro-life internet story in the world in 2011.
7) The current case has attracted much national secular press attention as well due to the controversy of her Jubilee Medal award and her efforts to receive "legal aid". In the case of the latter, since she is attempting to mount a constitutional challenge to the Canadian laws regarding abortion, she applied for assistance to cover her costs since she is indigent. The Crown rejected her request, but only because the top government prosecution team of attorneys argued against her. All for a simple case of "mischief"?! This unjust treatment is attracting attention and admiration, even from those who do not consider themselves "pro-life".
8) Her witness is galvanizing the young adult pro-life movement in Canada, finding in Mary a heroine of peace who is emblematic of the courage, truth and love needed to stand for life. The Christmas Postcard Campaign organized by the Canadian national pro-life group Campaign Life Coalition went international, and Mary received thousands of positive greetings from throughout the world.
Mary acknowledges that any good coming from her "small efforts" are the grace of Almighty God and the fruit of the many prayers of those who love God and His children. We pray that her noble efforts may be used by God in a mighty way to challenge the culture of death in Canada and beyond, and that Mary's witness of love would inspire many others to peacefully and perseveringly build a victorious culture of life.
I am leaving now for Toronto to attempt to visit Mary and be present for her February 4 hearing.
Please pray for this important standing hearing. It will be to determine her standing for a constitutional challenge. This is a crucial victory being attempted now as it has been 25 years since any similar court challenge defending the personhood of an unborn child has been tried in Canada. Her attorney, Dr. Charles Lugosi, a former professor of Constitutional Law at Ave Maria Law School who has argued cases before the supreme courts of both the US and Canada, is attempting to invoke the Canadian Criminal Code under the "defense of others" and applying this to the unborn child and her mother. The hope is to bring a case of precedent before the Supreme Court using the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (their constitution), as well as expert testimony and state of the art technology, in order to bring protection to all persons.
Thank you for your prayerful solidarity for Mary, her case, and all the innocent in danger.
+God bless!

Black Cats keen on Gordon
25 Jun 2007 - 08:37:50
Sunderland boss Roy Keane has made unsettled Hearts keeper Craig Gordon his preferred choice for the number one jersey at the Stadium of Light next season.
The Black Cats chief has reportedly made a £3million offer for the Scotland international, whose future at Tynecastle has been the subject of intense speculation for the past 12 months.
Gordon was dropped from the first team and stripped of the club captaincy last season after speaking about against Jambos owner Vladimir Romanov.
The 24-year-old has been mentioned as a possible target for Sunderland's Premier League rivals Aston Villa, Arsenal and Fulham in recent weeks.
However, Gordon claims he is unconcerned as speculation over his future is something he has become accustomed to dealing with during a turbulent 12 months at Hearts.
"I have no idea at the moment what's going to happen. It's all very quiet and I don't know what to expect," he said earlier in the month.
"The speculation doesn't faze me at all. It's something that's part and parcel.
"If you are doing well there will be speculation, so I must be doing something right if there is speculation going around. It doesn't bother me in the slightest."

Ranking up there with other huge, irreversible life decisions — What should I major in? Is this Mr. Right? Should I get a tattoo? — is this critical question:
Which dishes should I get?
This is something you should care about, according to Shax Riegler, the author of "Dish: 813 Colorful, Wonderful Dinner Plates" (Artisan).
"You're going to look at them every day," he urges.
Well, some of them, anyway. Other dishes you only haul out for holidays, which means soon.
For those of us who can't make a turkey dinner like the Barefoot Contessa, we figure we can at least get the plates right. I realize this is missing the point, like the woman who needs to rush to the emergency room but stops herself to first decide what to wear. (Not that I know anyone like that.)
The need to impress others by your choice of household objects, like plates, has caused many brides to utterly seize in the registry department. Many perfectly good engagements never make it to the altar because the act of choosing china sends brides-to-be running from the registry as if from a burning church.
When researching "Dish," Riegler haunted china departments, where he overheard many brides agonizing.
"They would start with a lively pattern they liked, then some older, motherlike female relative would say, 'But will you still like it in 20 years?' " Then the bride — if she didn't run off screaming — would default to classic white, perhaps with a simple border.
"People are afraid to have bad taste," Riegler says.
Easy for him to say: Mr. Features Editor of House Beautiful is finishing up a Ph.D. at Bard in decorative arts. So while he's getting a doctorate in good taste, the rest of us wing it.
"Dish" can help. A flip through lets you see and compare 800 plates, and get their stories, so you don't feel like a cave person when the time comes to pick the perfect plate.
Riegler starts his plate story in the Middle Ages, when folks ate off thick slabs of bread, or slabs of wood. Then some evolving female, tired of mopping gravy off the floor, had the bright idea to carve round impressions into the wood to better hold the food, and wooden "trenchers" became the plat du jour.
Eventually, Europeans learned that the Chinese were way ahead in the dish department. As trade with the Far East opened up, the Europeans, especially the English, imported gorgeous porcelain pieces from China by the boatload — hence the name china.
By the late 1600s the penchant for china had taken such a hold that a name emerged for those who'd developed the tableware sickness "maladie de porcelaine." Some had it bad.
Personally, as I look toward Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of serving the meal on thick slabs of bread. That will cut down on dishwashing, and nothing will get nicked.
Syndicated columnist and speaker Marni Jameson is the author of "House of Havoc" and "The House Always Wins" (Da Capo Press). Contact her through marnijameson.com.
The dish on good plates
In his new book, "Dish," Shax Riegler puts the passion for porcelain in perspective. Here are some of his tips.
Choosing: Don't go strictly by a brand. Go with what you like.
Classic or colorful: "The white china plate is the little black dress of the dining table," Riegler says. "You can't go wrong with it, and chefs like to use white as a canvas on which to present food." But unless you're plating up food like a professional, go for color and pattern. "I wish people were more excited about colored dishes," says Riegler, who confesses that his primary set of dishes is the featureless Pottery Barn white. However, he also has a large set of decorative Noritake Bambina. He describes their bamboo illustration as "a haiku in porcelain."
Washing: Anything made before the 1970s should be hand washed and kept out of the microwave, as should dishes that are hand-painted or have gold or silver edging, which sits on top of glazing so is not sealed in. His advice: "Even if your fine china says dishwasher safe, hand wash it." The high temperatures can crack or weaken the glaze, and cause "crazing." I loved learning the word for that web of cracks that run through the glaze on some dishes. Tip: When hand washing fragile items, line the bottom of the sink with a folded towel, so when something slips, it has a soft landing.
Storing: To avoid nicked edges, don't stack dishes too closely in the cupboard. Don't pile small plates on top of large ones, and load the dishwasher carefully so edges don't hit.
Repairing: To fix a dish, wash pieces in warm soapy water. Let them dry at least an hour. Use clear epoxy glue. Apply a thin coat to one side, using as little as possible. Fit the pieces together. Use masking tape or rubber bands to hold pieces securely while they dry. Remove excess glue from seam with acetone. The piece will be fine for display and gentle use, but keep it out of hot water and never soak it.
Trending: Popular today are patterns named for top designers, including Vera Wang, Kate Spade and Versace. "That gets back to people having no confidence in their own taste. They think having a fashion designer's name on their plates is some endorsement that they do."
Enduring: Spode Christmas Tree and Lenox Holiday, both Christmas dishes, are the top two ranking patterns, and have been for decades. "The holidays are, for some, the only time they think about entertaining, so they get plates for that one occasion," he said. Blue- and-white patterns, such as Blue Danube, endure because they go back to early imported chinoiserie. Fiesta ware, among the best sellers of all time, also ranks high. Thanksgiving dishes — ironically most come from England — are also consistently popular. The Johnson Brothers His Majesty set makes the top 100.

Judge Rules Halle Berry Will Not Be Able to Permanently Move Daughter to France (REPORT)
Halle Berry has been denied permission to permanently move her child overseas.
On Friday, a judge ruled the Academy Award winner will not be able to relocate her 4-year-old daughter Nahla to France, where Berry wanted to live with fiance Olivier Martinez, according to the website TMZ.
Berry argued the Los Angeles' paparazzi scene made life too dangerous for her young child, but the judge on the case ruled in favor of Berry's ex-boyfriend -- and Nahla's biological father -- Gabriel Aubry.
Berry and Martinez, both 46, confirmed in March that the pair were heading down the aisle after much speculation.
While promoting his new restaurant in South Beach, the French actor addressed the engagement rumor, telling The Miami Herald, "Yes, of course it's true."
Since then, it's been reported Berry had plans to relocate to France to be closer to her Parisian beau.

CMO Council Study Finds Marketing by Utilities Must be Relevant, Targeted
May 24, 2011Of the consumers who did not act on the messaging, 36 percent felt that the messages were either unrealistic, impossible to implement, or that not enough information was provided. Twenty-five percent rejected the recommendation or solutions because they felt no real advice was offered—just an abundance of marketing messaging.
"What the study reveals is a real opportunity for the utility industry to improve business outcomes by leveraging content relevance and customer engagement," stated Sandra Zoratti, vice president of solutions marketing for InfoPrint Solutions. While consumers acknowledge their continued struggle through financial hardships, even in a constrained economy there are loyal consumers who are open to building deeper, more engaged relationships with companies who provide more on-target service and support without adding to operational overhead."
Marketers are answering the call for relevance by focusing on better targeting and segmentation of their customers while developing programs that leverage customer insights to provide relevant content. The top three engagement priorities for the year ahead include educating customers through relevant and understandable content (35 percent) gaining a deeper understanding of needs and expectations (34 percent) and improving the relevance and value of content (33 percent).
While utility marketers are well versed in aggregating data and demonstrating a willingness to more effectively segment and target populations, they still struggle to measure and justify program investments. Of the 77 percent of marketers who conducted some form of green messaging campaign, only 29 percent failed to use any segmentation strategy to better target communications and 28 percent failed to measure the effectiveness of the campaign. Among those marketers who segmented their market by broad location based segments (zip code, etc) 50 percent deemed the program a success based on positive response or advocacy from customers.
However, among the marketers who took a more targeted approach, leveraging individual household usage and behaviors, 73 percent rated their campaign a success. Interestingly, those marketers who failed to segment or target communications almost unanimously agreed that their campaigns were not a success as 90 percent felt few customers actioned on the message, few were able to recall receiving the message or that there was no way to know as no measures were placed on the campaign.
"Precision marketing demands measurement as much as it enables the delivery of relevant content through the optimal delivery channel," continued Zoratti. "Utilities marketers have an audience ready, willing and eager for engagement, so long as it is relevant and speaks to service and solutions. They don't want wasted marketing messaging. They want engagement that they will repay with advocacy and positive word of mouth—and the continued belief that on-time payment of their bills is critical."
The complete results of "What's Critical in the Utility Vertical" summary can be accessed through the Precision Promotion portal, where readers will also find information and resources on how thought leaders are crafting more timely, targeted, relevant engagements with customers, and where and how the customer dynamic has changed. The 25-page paper includes expert insights along with complete detailed findings of the survey consumer and marketer surveys.

text: I'll start by saying that I am partial to Springfield. My first pistol was an XD .45 Compact (sold it to by the XDm 45 compact), my next gun an XDm 45 compact, then an XDs .45, then an XDm 4.5" 9mm (sold it to get the Range Officer), then an XDm 5.25" 9mm, and a Springfield Range Officer (1911). However, my most recent purchase was a Walther PPQ M2 9mm. I love the ergonomics on the XDm's but I must admit the PPQ is even more ergonomic (for me). Although I like Springfield, I cannot stand the stock triggers, a lot of over travel and have a mushy break. I changed all of them out with the PRP Ultimate Match Target Trigger (except the XDs and Range Officer). I love the PRP triggers, they are awesome! Greatly reduced over travel and have a short reset. However, when comparing it side by side with my PPQ, the stock trigger on the PPQ is better than even the PRP Ultimate Match Trigger (for me). Although the PPQ does have over travel on the first shot, it has a very crisp break and short reset. The PRP trigger does too but it is still a tiny bit mushy. I have to admit that all around I like the PPQ better stock, than an XDm with or without a the trigger kit installed. Although, when I went to the range to compare them side by side (PPQ and XDm 5.25" with PRP Trigger), I shot them equally well and my wife shot the XDm much better, I attribute this to her slapping the trigger. She does not know how to use the reset (doesn't want to learn I've tried teaching her) and since the PPQ has initial over travel, her groups were consistently larger with the PPQ, then when using the XDm with the PRP trigger. Overall, I love both guns, but the PPQ gets the nod in my book.

The RTI approach has several advantages. First, it can help reduce the time a student must wait before he receives assistance in his areas of weakness. RTI is a proactive approach; students are identified early as needing assistance. Second, the goal is to provide as much assistance to students as possible in their regular education classroom. If the research-based interventions are helpful, special education services may not be needed. Third, how a student responds to the intervention may provide information about her strengths and weaknesses. Understanding what works best can help teachers provide appropriate instruction to students.
A Misconception About RTI
We find that there is one major misconception about RTI—a belief held by some parents and teachers. Some argue that RTI is simply a way for school districts to delay providing special education services.
The goal of RTI is to implement research-based interventions as soon as a problem is identified. Many of these interventions are likely being used with students who have already qualified for special education services. Some believe that schools are holding back on certain interventions and using them only for students receiving special education services; this is untrue. The goal of RTI is to find and implement interventions that work for a student without having to label him as a special education student. If a student does not respond well to the interventions at the two lower tiers and it is believed that he needs the more intensive and more individualized instruction and interventions found in Tier 3, the Student Support Team can find him eligible for special education services. Eligibility is a team decision, and special education laws vary from state to state. To locate the laws for your state, contact your state's department of special education. Contact information can be found in Appendix G.
Parents' Role in RTI
Parents play an active role in the RTI process. They may be asked to implement interventions in the home so that students experience consistency between what goes on at home and what goes on at school. Or parents may be asked to monitor a child to see whether she improves in specific areas. Parents may keep data on their child's progress and report it to the school during the next RTI meeting. Such parental feedback on a child's progress can provide information that is very helpful to her teachers. We'll talk more about parent-teacher collaboration in Chapter Sixteen.
Teachers' Role in RTI
Teachers often have primary responsibility for gathering RTI data. They may work with other teachers or the school psychologist to collect data that will be used to monitor a child's progress. This information is often shared in visual form such as charts that show where the child began (his weaknesses), where he is now (the progress he's made), and where he should be at a specific future point (the target goal). Teachers may use software programs and other resources to help them choose appropriate research-based interventions and monitor a child's progress. Microsoft Excel spreadsheets can also be used to display a child's progress.

This Kings Cross institution never seems to lose its luster, thanks to a Parisian bistro vibe and a fast and furious staff who mix up killer cocktails—like the Shizco, made with Peruvian pisco and spiced ginger syrup—from the zinc-topped bar. It's a great place to meet for pre- or post-dinner drinks, regardless of whether you're eating in the excellent adjoining restaurant, which features a raw bar and bistro classics such as soufflés, foie gras terrine, and grilled sirloin.

Wednesday, December 09
AT&T Center
Attendance: 17,353
San Antonio, TX (Sports Network) - Richard Jefferson poured in 23 points and culminated San Antonio's 14-point run to end the first half, as the Spurs earned a 118-106 win over the Sacramento Kings.
Manu Ginobili added 20 points, while Tony Parker contributed 18 points and 11 assists for the Spurs, who have won seven straight and 12 of the last 13 matchups in this series.
Tim Duncan registered 17 points and eight boards for the Spurs, who snapped a three-game overall skid.
"We got a couple buckets in transition and made some plays," said Jefferson. "For the most part, I just did things with confidence. I like to believe that the more I play the more used to the offense I am going to get. My teammates did a great job of getting me the ball in the right spots. There weren't too many shots that I hit that weren't off of assists."
Omri Casspi had 20 points for the Kings, who have lost six in a row on the road and are 1-9 away from ARCO Arena this season. Jason Thompson scored 19 and had nine rebounds, while Tyreke Evans also tallied 19 points in defeat.
Jefferson, who also had eight rebounds and shot 11-of-18 from the field, started the big spurt with a jumper and a slam. Ginobili gave San Antonio a 56-54 edge by nailing a three-pointer with under two minutes left in the half and he then buried another one from long distance. After Parker's pull-up shot, Jefferson drove in for another slam with four seconds left in the half and a 63-54 cushion.
Sacramento cut what was once a double-digit deficit to four at 77-73 on Evans' tip-in, but the Spurs widened the margin to 89-82 going to the fourth.
The Kings were within three a couple of times in the last quarter, the final time at 103-100 following a Donte Greene layup with 4:08 remaining. Parker converted a layup to stem the tide and Ginobili had the highlight of the night with nearly two minutes left, faking a dribble up top before driving in for a thunderous jam with under two minutes left for a 112-102 lead.
"It's frustrating to know that we always get close enough but then can't pull it out," said Evans. "We're young and it's something we have to learn. We all got to go through this. Better to go through it now than later."

Overall, it was a place to sleep. Overall, it was overpriced.
It was ok. Not a great location. But a place to crash before going into NYC.
Location was great. It was nice to be able to get out of the city and away from the holiday crowds. Nice views of the city skyline.
Not much night life close to the hotel. Most restaurants close to the hotel were closed on the weekend.
Very clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. Beautiful views.
$32 a day parking and no free WiFi.
Breakfast was great, front staff was great at accommodating simple requests prior to our stay. Room was exactly as described.
Housekeeping was inconsistent - bathrobes would go missing, sheets were shorted once, some days extra toiletries were left and other days they would take them away, trash was not always taken out.
The price was right! The Ramada was clean. Most of all, it is in walking distance to the Path Train. An added plus was that the staff dealt with a slight dilemma in a most professional way, at no cost to us.
Entrance to the hotel by vehicle could be a problem and be aware that close parking is limited & sometimes an added charge.. This is typical in congested city areas.
Staff were excellent
Exterior of hotel needed update.....neighborhood is somewhat run down....but NEVER felt unsafe
I travel quite a bit and have been in many hotels. This one is by far the best I have I stayed at. The service of the front desk as well as the willingness of everyone on staff to make your stay the best is what really stands out. It is located in a great spot and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again the next time I'm in NYC.
Very friendly and accomodating staff. Received a complimentary glass of wine immediately upon my arrival. Nice after 10 hrs on the road. Very good vibe. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, good location.
The hotel was a bit hard to find despite having a GPS. Not really, the hotels fault, I guess. The bathroom wall was made of a transluscent mosaic panel, which did not offer much privacy. Ended up doing our business with the bathroom lights off most of the time. While this may not be an issue for some, with 4 adults in the room it was definitely a bit awkward at times.
The room, the staff, the restaurant, the green roof .
The bar at the roof is a happening place and i had my young daughter!
Great stay. Ideal for venturing into NYC great location.
A great place to stay for a NYC weekend. Quieter than Manhattan, beautiful skyline view and very close to the PATH train. The staff is very friendly and the room was clean. Will stay there again.
Bed's were comfortable and staff was super friendly. Bathroom was top notch. Getting a cab was super easy the staff were pro's at that.
Nickle and dimed to death room from room service 4 drinks Cokes and Pepsi 2 of each were 30 plus dollars and they were the small bottles. I found pills in my room and my whute comforter had lots of dark lint.Food was standard at best. My room had no mini fridge. Windows were not sound proof. Really far from everything fun. Boat horns go off all times of the morning somtimes so loud it makes you look at your phone to see if its vibrating. Overall nice place could be the best if they fix these issues.
View - Memorable!
All of the staff that I encountered were very nice. The bed was comfortable. I also loved the welcome cookie. It was a nice surprise and I was hungry!! The location was great for my needs and is just minutes away from the waterfront.
The room was nice enough but there was weird white stuff on the walls and in the bathroom. Cleanser maybe? I went down to the bar area and had to wait 5 minutes to be seen/ seated. There were just a few people there so it wasn't a busyness issue. I ordered soup. A little over 5 minutes later the server responded to tell me that the soup would take 25 minutes. I ordered pizza instead. It was fine but I was disappointed. The temperature in the room was freezing. I adjusted it with the thermostat on the wall but the air conditioner continued on, event though I had selected 68 on heat. I ended up pulling the plug to get it to turn off after an hour of adjusting the thermostat and waiting for warmth. I was exhausted from a long day and got in bed to watch tv. The remote control would not turn on the television. I inspected the outlets and they were all okay. The button on the tv worked but, even then, I was only getting 4 commercial channels. The lights on the remote were coming on also so I figured it wasn't batteries. I decided to call the front desk. Unfortunately, the phone in my room did not work/ call to the front desk. I tried both lines but no luck. I even tried dialing other services available on the phone but that just rang and rang. So.... exhausted and frustrated, I got dressed and headed down to the lobby. I had to wait a bit as a few people were just checking in. The person at the desk was very nice and sent someone up to my room. The man arrived to fix the television. He was extremely nice but the issue did take about 15 minutes or so to resolve. He wasn't sure why the issue happened but he had to get a special remote and change some settings. In the morning, I headed down to the restaurant again. I asked if I could order from the menu. I was told buffet only, though I think there may have been a communication issue. I later asked a different server after I saw the selection up close. It was generally unimpressive. She said that I could order from the menu but I decided to just stick with the buffet since the menu would take longer and I felt like I was being a burden by ordering. I was extremely disappointed overall. The eggs, potatoes and waffles were all cold. I ate just a little bit and spent over $20 with tip. I was extremely disappointed. Overall, I wouldn't recommend or stay at this hotel again, unfortunately.
Everything was really nice. Modern interior with classic exterior. Bed was comfy and bathroom was really nice, good water pressure in the rain shower head.
We loved everything about it.The location,staff,cleanliness,cellar bar!
No,we totally enjoyed our stay,there are not enough good things to say,our only question is why it is not a 5 star hotel?
Very modern and trendy hotel with perfect location for Soho etc. very well thought details.
For the price, some kind of breakfast should be included. Even if only coffee and croissants..
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that are probably still doing some last minute shopping for Mother's Day. I know I've have been doing some last minute online shopping. I'm curious. When you're shopping for someone else, do you find items that would be perfect for yourself?? I do! This always happens to me. I couldn't help but notice something when I was looking for items in ASOS Sale. All these items have one thing in common. I can buy them for mom today and borrow them from her tomorrow!

Vermont organic farming exhibit set to open
MONTPELIER – A two-year collaboration involving an agricultural writer and a farmer / photographer has produced a museum-ready exhibit on organic farming in Vermont.
The special exhibit – "Plowing Old Ground: Vermont's Organic Farming Pioneers" – is a mix of words and pictures compiled by Susan Harlow and John Nopper that will be on display at the Vermont History Museum on State Street in Montpelier starting next month.
The March 16 opening, which will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m., will include a reception and short talks by the exhibit's creators.
Harlow is the woman behind the narratives produced from kitchen table interviews with people who helped get the organic ball rolling here in Vermont. Nopper snapped the black and white photographs to accompany them.
Together they tell the stories of six working Vermont farms and their farmers. Two central Vermont farmers and their farms – Joey Klein of Littlewood Farm in Plainfield and Bruce Kaufman of Riverside Farm in Hardwick – are highlighted in the exhibit that also features Vermont's first officially certified organic farmer, Howard Prussack of High Meadows Farm in Putney.
Jack and Anne Lazor of Butterworks Farm in Westfield, Paul Harlow of Harlow Farm in Westminster and Jake and Liz Guest of Killdeer Farm, Norwich are also featured in the exhibit as are images and comments by writer and organic farming advocate Samuel Kaymen.MORE IN This Just InTwo people were killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 91, one of several accidents on...

A prerequisite to obtaining appropriate cancer follow-up care is an awareness of one's increased risk and knowledge of what should be done to reduce risk or ameliorate adverse outcomes. Late effects that are known to be associated with cancer treatments may be discussed in the context of making treatment decisions and obtaining informed consent. Given the stressful nature of this phase of care, cancer patients may have difficulty retaining the information. Patients do not routinely receive a summary of their treatments or possible late effects. Cancer survivors are beginning to be informed about what to expect after treatment through the efforts of patient advocacy organizations. For example, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has provided information on "What Happens After Treatment" for most cancer types (ACS, 2005a) and the Lance Armstrong Foundation has provided a guide to help survivors summarize their medical treatment and plan for follow-up care (LAF, 2004a). A few studies have assessed adult cancer survivors' awareness of their increased risk and need for follow-up:
Female adult survivors of Hodgkin's disease treated at a young age with mantle irradiation are at high risk for subsequent cancer, but only 47 percent reported having had a mammogram in the past 2 years (Diller et al., 2002). As many as 40 percent of women were unaware of their increased risk.
Breast cancer survivors report knowing little about lymphedema before developing it, and physicians report not routinely counseling women or providing written information on lymphedema prevention to their patients with breast cancer (Paskett and Stark, 2000).
Only about half of men and women with cancer who are of childbearing age receive timely information from their health care providers about their risk of infertility and options to preserve or restore fertility (Canada and Schover, 2005).
Breast cancer survivors often do not recall discussing the reproductive health impact of their treatment, and many report that their concerns are not adequately addressed (Partridge et al., 2004; Duffy et al., 2005).
Relatively few (22 percent) survivors of colorectal cancer could identify risk indicators for recurrence, but most (64 percent) agreed that they would like to be told what to look for (Papagrigoriadis and Heyman, 2003).
More is known about the awareness of late effects among survivors of childhood cancer. As part of the Childhood Cancer Survivorship Study (CCSS), members of a large cohort of 5-year childhood cancer survivors have been surveyed to learn more about their health status, health care

Renegade: The Making of a President | By Richard Wolffe | Crown | $26, 368 pages
Last month, Politico's Ben Smith served up a juicy story about the controversy surrounding Renegade, former Newsweek correspondent Richard Wolffe's book about the Obama campaign. There seemed to be no shortage of staffers at the magazine willing to speak ill of their former colleague, whom they accused (without attribution, of course) of whisking around the country on Newsweek's dime while saving his best material for his recently released (and bestselling) tome. But the most telling part of Smith's story was the way he described how the book came to fruition. For reasons that will soon be made obvious, Obama decided that among the many reporters assigned to cover him, Wolffe would be the one to whom he would grant exclusive access for the purposes of what would effectively be an authorized campaign book. Obama, Smith writes, "essentially assigned the book" to Wolffe. Teacher has reason to be pleased.
The allegation by Wolffe's ex-colleagues that he hoarded all the best material for his book should be the least of their concerns. (How he affected the magazine's reputation with his breathless coverage of Obama—which resulted in no less than six cover stories—is a different matter.) That's because Renegade suffers from the fate of most hastily constructed campaign books in the digital age: it is simply a rehash of events that were obsessively covered when they first transpired. There really is no room today for Theodore White's Making of the President series. When those books were written, we didn't have twenty-four-hour cable news, blogs, and talk radio. There was just a handful of journalists covering the intricacies of national presidential campaigns, which allowed for their later recounting in novelistic—and revelatory—detail.
The most irritating aspect of this book is Wolffe's attempt to fix everything that occurred during the presidential race into his overarching narrative of Obama as the "renegade" candidate who changed American politics forever with his inspirational rhetoric and grassroots organization. For instance, he writes that in the aftermath of the Jeremiah Wright fiasco, "a more conventional candidate might have cried racism and rallied his black base." That Obama did not do this is apparently a testament to his "renegade" qualities.
Now, I know Richard Wolffe was not born in this country, but he has lived here for quite a few years and covered Washington extensively for the Financial Times. This means that he should have an elementary grasp of American politics and race relations. What serious black presidential candidate, in reaction to endless video clips of his pastor delivering sermons that make Jerry Falwell's worst fire-and-brimstone homilies look like pallid New England ecumenicism , would have "cried racism and rallied his black base"? To do so would have been political suicide. And it does not take an uncommonly perceptive politician—or seasoned political journalist—to realize this.
In the same vein, Wolffe defends the wisdom of Obama's off-the-cuff remark at a debate that he would be willing to meet unconditionally with anti-American dictators—a promise that Hillary Clinton used to her advantage throughout the rest of the campaign. Wolffe celebrates this as yet another example of the candidate's "renegade" persona, quoting a campaign staffer to the effect that "it was the first time we saw Obama relish the fight." Seven months into his presidency, Obama has had plenty of time to meet with a variety of hostile leaders, many of whom have said some pretty nasty things about him and his country. He hasn't.
There are so many times in this book when you stop and wonder if Wolffe even understands that he is getting played like a fiddle. Asking Obama how he and his family have adjusted to their new lives under Secret Service protection, he elicits an anecdote about how the candidate invited his bodyguards to Thanksgiving dinner. "[N]obody had ever told them to come in and eat," Obama tells the author. "Nobody treats them with respect." Really? No politician, before the era of Barack Obama, had ever invited his Secret Service detail to a meal? "Nobody," save the Renegade, "treats them with respect?" What sort of journalist passes along such a self-serving anecdote without skeptical comment, never mind corroboration?
After Obama fails to clinch the nomination on Super Tuesday, Wolffe asks him if he would leave politics to teach constitutional law if he lost the presidential race. The response is a model of disingenuousness:
"Yeah. I don't have to do this," he said as if running for president were just a seasonal job. "Of course, I really want to beat them now. They've annoyed me. But I could do something else. I'm not sure [Hillary Clinton] could."

Makiko Nakamura is a Japanese ceramic artist who is currently based in London. Her exhibit, '100 Years After the Party' is being displayed during London Design Festival at Tent London.
The pieces in Makiko Nakamura's collection are inspired by a story she tells of a tea service being abandoned. Seeds fall on the tea pots and cups which eventually grow into flowers. It's undeniable that Makiko Nakamura has created a beautifully haunting line of porcelain pieces from a bittersweet story.
You will definitely want to have a tea party after this.

Omenaca F et al. – Two doses of RIX4414 were immunogenic and well–tolerated in European preterm infants.
Methods- A total of 1009 preterm infants were randomized (2:1, vaccine:placebo) and stratified into 2 groups: 20% of early (27–30 weeks, group 1) and 80% of late (31–36 weeks, group 2) gestational age preterm infants in each group.
- Two doses of RIX4414/placebo were administered to these preterm infants according to the recommended chronologic age for full-term infants with an interval of 30–83 days between doses.
- Serious adverse events were recorded throughout the study period.
- Solicited and unsolicited adverse events were recorded for 15 and 31 days post-each dose.
- Antirotavirus IgA concentrations (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay cutoff = 20 U/mL) and geometric mean concentration were determined pre-dose 1 and 30–83 days post-dose 2 in a subset of 300 infants.
- Serious adverse events were reported at a similar frequency in both groups (P = 0.266).
- Fifty-seven infants reported at least 1 serious adverse event (5.1% [3.5–7.0] in the RIX4414 group and 6.8% [4.3–10.0] in the placebo group).
- During the 15-day postvaccination follow-up period, diarrhea, vomiting and fever occurred at a similar frequency in both groups; fever could have been due to concomitant vaccines.
- Five cases (RIX4414 = 3, Placebo = 2) of rotavirus gastroenteritis were reported.
- The onset of rotavirus gastroenteritis in the RIX4414 group was 1–5 days after vaccination (vaccine strain identified in all cases) and in the placebo group it was 3–4 days after receiving placebo (wild-type rotavirus identified from both cases).
- Antirotavirus IgA seroconversion rates at 30–83 days post-dose 2 were 85.7% (79.0–90.9) in the RIX4414 group and 16.0% (8.8–25.9) in the placebo group.

Hello, I am looking for the service manual for my Maytag washer Model MAV-35 says in the user manual but on the machine itself it says MAV8557AWQ same thing I assume. Been trying to remove the agitator removed the screw in the shaft then I tried all the tricks 2x4 leverage hot water etc nothing budges the thing it feels like its screwed on somehow the base of the agitator does not rotate at all. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Assuming the correct parts diagram came up, the agitator is just stuck. Only the bolt inside the spiral auger holds it to the drive shaft. The auger and base are one piece, they don't separate. |

Re: Document or register my vessel?
I think you're giving the NJDMV too much credit; I don't have my registration in hand yet! My boat was a bankruptcy asset and I have a bill of sale from a bank (which isn't the owner of record, but which had a lien). I hope the DMV will accept the argument that the USCG, which is federally authorized to maintain ownership/title records for documented vessels, thinks the evidence I presented is OK so the DMV should too. But, again, I may be giving the NJDMV too much credit.
To the OP, sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread. Hopefully you've figured out that documenting the vessel with the USCG can help streamline things a bit, but that the documentation process is slow.

NDP candidate Judy Darcy steps down as Hospital Employees' Union chief negotiator
Just over a week after Judy Darcy was acclaimed as the NDP candidate in New Westminster, she has announced her resignation from the Hospital Employees' Union.
Darcy has been secretary-business manager and chief negotiator for the health-care union since 2005. Before that, she spent 13 years as national president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
Her resignation from the HEU takes effect on September 12.
Barring a collapse in NDP support provincewide, Darcy is a virtual shoo-in to win in New Westminster in the 2013 election.
Despite her lack of legislative experience, she has a very good chance of joining cabinet should the NDP form the next government under Adrian Dix.
As the president of CUPE, Darcy worked with Dix's chief of staff, Stephen Howard, on campaigns against the Campbell government's privatization of health services. Howard is a former HEU staffer.
Darcy, unlike many members of the NDP caucus, also publicly supported Dix in the party's leadership race. She's knowledgeable about the issues and very adept at dealing with the media.
One organization that might not be thrilled with Darcy joining cabinet is the B.C. Nurses' Union. Its president, Debra McPherson, has made no secret of her wish to negotiate contracts for all nurses, including those who belong to the HEU.
In 2009, the BCNU failed in an attempt to certify licensed practical nurses who belong to the HEU and B.C. Government and Services Employees' Union.
Howard has also worked for the BCGEU. And a former BCGEU president, George Heyman, is a frontrunner to become the NDP candidate in Vancouver-Fairview, which is a winnable seat.
That's the same consituency where Darcy narrowly lost an NDP nomination fight in 2004 against Gregor Robertson, who went on to become mayor of Vancouver.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Even as voluntary organizations help New York City with its long-term recovery from Superstorm Sandy, preparing the city for the next hurricane or other disaster is already high on their agenda. That was evident August 7 at one in a series of forums for leaders of community-based long-term recovery groups from the city's five boroughs.
The series is sponsored by Church World Service, New York Disaster Interfaith Services, the American Red Cross, and New York City Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster. About 20 LTRG leaders met August 7 at the Metropolitan College of New York in downtown Manhattan, where they were hosted by the college's Emergency and Disaster Management Program.
At their last meeting, LTRG leaders identified three priorities for their ongoing work together: how to better serve clients, their own sustainability, and joint advocacy with government and other major players in the Sandy recovery and rebuilding effort.
"New York is a city in which problems usually are solved by neighborhood agencies and associations," commented CWS Emergency Response Specialist Joann Hale. "Superstorm Sandy made clear that to solve many disaster recovery challenges requires going beyond the neighborhood and undertaking joint planning and advocacy."
The city's recovery from Sandy could take another decade to complete, but many recovery funds and programs will "sunset" by the end of 2015. How will LTRGs sustain themselves after that, forum participants considered given their mandate to help survivors meet urgent needs unmet by government or personal resources.
"Because Church World Service has a lot of experience and knowledge of the best practices of long-term recovery, we have an important role in these forums," said CWS's Hale. "Furthermore, we can connect local long-term recovery groups to our national denominations and partners, who are potential sources of funding and volunteers."
On Sandy's second anniversary October 29, the LTRGs must be prepared to give a report to their communities of what they have achieved to date and of their activities and goals for 2015, said NYDIS Chief Response Officer Peter Gudaitis.
LTRGs can also emphasize realistic expectations for recovery. "Not everyone will be restored to where they were before the storm, and some will have to move," said John Berglund of The Salvation Army, who led the group in a strategic planning exercise. Berglund chairs the New York City VOAD.
And LTRGs should use that and every opportunity to communicate "dos" and "don'ts" of successful recovery and of preparedness for future disaster, forum presenters said.
Of utmost importance, Gudaitis said, is for Sandy-affected homeowners to purchase federal flood insurance. Without it, "they won't get any government assistance next time around," he said. "They will lose their house, their nest egg." NYDIS convenes an Unmet Needs Roundtable, and a majority of petitioners have not yet purchased federal flood insurance, Gudaitis said.
Forum participants discussed other ways New York City can "weather the next storm," so to speak. Households should take seriously their own responsibility to stockpile food, water and other supplies needed to shelter in place for up to six days. They should also have "go bags" ready in case they need to evacuate.
Other ideas included solar-powered cell phone recharging stations to help keep people communicating, communications "trees" so that essential information gets out quickly and completely, and business preparedness planning so that local businesses can stay open and functioning post-disaster.
In both long-term recovery and preparedness, building sustainable community networks is essential, Gudaitis said. "When we can advocate to government with one voice on what disaster survivors need to recover from Superstorm Sandy and prepare for the next disaster, that's what makes us essential to government. Are you a force-multiplier in an extreme way? Do you represent a significant number of non-governmental organizations in your community? The more you have, the more government must deal with you."

Does Melissa Rivers Miss Hosting the Oscars' Red Carpet? 'Not At All'
The former red carpet star thinks today's coverage has become too careful.
For years, Melissa Rivers and her mother, Joan, were red carpet staples on television, hosting every major awards show for E! and, later, the TV Guide Channel.
But looking back on her experience, the 45-year-old television star -- who is now an executive producer forE!'s Fashion Police -- says she doesn't miss the experience at all.
"I feel like it's become so controlled," she told Celebuzz in a recent interview. "It's fun to watch still, but I feel like It's become so homogenized and everyone is so careful. I miss the days of people not being so guarded. I miss the days when it looked like people were actually having fun."
"I loved every minute of it, but you always want to leave the party at the right time," she added.
These days, Rivers still has a connection to the Oscars. In addition to working on Fashion Police, she's teamed up with Blockbuster for its Awards Night "Fan"-tasy Movie League, in which Oscar-lovers can log on and cast their own ballots.
"You get to basically be in a giant pool," she said. "It's like what everyone does at the office, or at home or at their Oscar parties. We all think we're all so slick and smart. So, c'mon. Let's lay it down and see what we've got!"
She's also gearing up for the brand-new season of Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best?."It's really about crossing boundaries this year," she said of the new season. "You get into a lot of stuff that's very personal. You get to see my relationship with my ex-husband. I decided this year that I needed to get into therapy and start to figure out why I'm not able to have constantly positive relationship with men. That's very revealing."
"I got a lot of perspective. I think I grew a lot, emotionally, in the last year, and that is in the season."
Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best? premieres Saturday night at 9/8c on WE.
