I'm headed to Ken Thortons to brew my very first batch. I can't wait. Starting out with Summer ale
Live blog it here at this post. I demand pictures and updates every 10 minutes of the process.
Well I got the first batch complied with. I used a brewers best summer ale kit. I had a few hiccups but other than that all is good. I was pulling off the seal on the LME and dropped it so I had LME stickiness everywhere. Got that all cleaned up and then brewing returned to normal. I absolutely love it now. These were the only two pics I got.
Ok. So has anybody ever used pre-hopped DME?

Homes come in all sizes, from tiny studios to sprawling country ramblers. The one thing that unites them these days is that no matter the size or style, their owners want their environment to feel bigger, airier, more open than ever before. The homes that follow fall into two categories. The first group -- a new rammed-earth house in Aspen, a renovated Victorian in Chicago and a series of combined apartments in Washington, D.C. -- luxuriate in interior space and direct access to the outdoors. By contrast, our special Small Spaces section features three diminutive homes: a 700-square-foot Manhattan apartment, a new 1,200-square-foot house near Seattle and a renovated 2,000-square-foot Palm Springs tract home, all of which breathe free thanks to bold ideas for making limited space seem infinite. Among them, you'll find hundreds of ideas for personalizing your own abode, however palatial or abridged. Enjoy! -- The Editors

Review written by
Andrew Gray
March 7th, 2011
Normally when a liked game receives a sequel, it usually is something that fans of the original title can look forward to. The designers can improve upon their original ideas and add new ones to enhance the experience. Unfortunately, Heavy Fire: Black Arms is not one of those games. In fact, it is one of the few sequels that not only doesn't change or improve upon the original game, but in fact is worse than its predecessor.
Whereas the first Heavy Fire took place in Somalia, the second takes place in South America on another mission to eliminate terrorists, supposedly another group of the same organization in the first game. However, due to the similar jungle/swamp/Vietnam terrain and the 'black' in the title, it is likely that Black Arms is trying to cash-in on the success of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Most who purchase or even look at the title won't be able to distinguish it from Hollywood's Vietnam, so the only real reason to have the game set in South America would be to avoid any possible controversy.
The gameplay is essentially copied piecemeal from the first title, with no discernible differences. The whole thing is still a light gun arcade style affair, with the only real difference being that players will rarely use the motion controls of the Wiimote to perform actions like climbing up torn bridges. Other than that, you still shoot everything in sight, enemies still get exclamation marks over their heads when you're in danger and you can still get point combos and extra for destroying property and vehicles. There are new flamethrower enemies, but they are sadly part of the sequel's biggest flaw over the original.
In the original Heavy Fire, the first few stages weren't too hard, but by the last few the difficulty took a noticeable jump making for uneven difficulty. As if this weren't enough, players were only given one life and three continues, with only three hits before you died. While Black Arms gives the player two extra continues, a much bigger problem has come up. If players get through the first stage, they'll eventually notice that starting in the second stage, enemy fire will come literally out of nowhere, bringing players closer to death. When a player literally can't see who is shooting at them and when, that's simply bad programming or lazy design. It's frustrating not because of difficulty, but because it is genuinely unfair.
Once again, the sound and music are bare bones. There is still no music save for that at the title screen, and the sound effects are taken entirely from the first Heavy Fire... with the exception of the middle eastern gibberish.
The one improvement Black Arms seems to have made over the first is in presentation. The graphics do look slightly better, and there is more of an effort to make elaborate set pieces, including an 'Apocalypse Now' inspired boat ride at the beginning and a jungle bombing affair. Unfortunately, a genuinely confusing aspect of the game has to be addressed due to presentation issues. If the player is trying to stop terrorists in South America, why do the enemies look like American-attired troops? The outfits, hats and camo look like something straight out of American military and it's genuinely strange. Maybe this reviewer simply isn't well-versed in military fatigues, but it is a point that has to be addressed.
Heavy Fire: Black Arms, like its predecessor is available for only 500 Wii points, yet even at that price the game is a rip-off. The original title was slightly frustrating near the end, but it was at least slightly balanced and manageable. Black Arms is simply unforgiving and badly designed and is not worth your Wii points.

Stove top extender or gap protector
cmw123March 30, 2012
My oven/stove top is right next to my refrigerator. I have found stove top extenders to fill the gap between the stove top and the counter top but I need one to protect the refrigerator from spills, too. Has anyone seen such a thing?
Would this work possibly between your stove and refrigerator?
'Slips in space between counter top and stove to prevent kitchen crumbs, grease and mess from falling through and accumulating. No longer will you have to clean this hard to reach space. Made of aluminum with a hidden magnetized strip that holds it securely in place. 1-1/2' wide x 20' long.'

Warfarin may cause severe bleeding that can be life-threatening and even cause death. Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had a blood or bleeding disorder; bleeding problems, especially in your stomach or your esophagus (tube from the throat to the stomach), intestines, urinary tract or bladder, or lungs; high blood pressure; heart attack; angina (chest pain or pressure); heart disease; pericarditis (swelling of the lining (sac) around the heart); endocarditis (infection of one or more heart valves); a stroke or ministroke; aneurysm (weakening or tearing of an artery or vein); anemia (low number of red blood cells in the blood); cancer; chronic diarrhea; or kidney, or liver disease. Also tell your doctor if you fall often or have had a recent serious injury or surgery. Bleeding is more likely during warfarin treatment for people over 65 years of age, and it is also more likely during the first month of warfarin treatment. Bleeding is also more likely to occur for people who take high doses of warfarin, or take this medication for a long time. The risk for bleeding while taking warfarin is also higher for people participating in an activity or sport that may result in serious injury. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking or plan to take any prescription or nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal or botanical products (See SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS), as some of these products may increase the risk for bleeding while you are taking warfarin. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately: pain, swelling, or discomfort, bleeding from a cut that does not stop in the usual amount of time, nosebleeds or bleeding from your gums, coughing up or vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, unusual bleeding or bruising, increased menstrual flow or vaginal bleeding, pink, red, or dark brown urine, red or tarry black bowel movements, headache, dizziness, or weakness.
Some people may respond differently to warfarin based on their heredity or genetic make-up. Your doctor may order a blood test to help find the dose of warfarin that is best for you.
Warfarin prevents blood from clotting so it may take longer than usual for you to stop bleeding if you are cut or injured. Avoid activities or sports that have a high risk of causing injury. Call your doctor if bleeding is unusual or if you fall and get hurt, especially if you hit your head.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order a blood test (PT [prothrombin test] reported as INR [international normalized ratio] value) regularly to check your body's response to warfarin.
If your doctor tells you to stop taking warfarin, the effects of this medication may last for 2 to 5 days after you stop taking it.
Your doctor or pharmacist will give you the manufacturer's patient information sheet (Medication Guide) when you begin treatment with warfarin and each time you refill your prescription. Read the information carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. You can also visit the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website (http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm088578.pdf) or the manufacturer's website to obtain the Medication Guide.
Talk to your doctor about the risk(s) of taking warfarin.
Warfarin is used to prevent blood clots from forming or growing larger in your blood and blood vessels. It is prescribed for people with certain types of irregular heartbeat, people with prosthetic (replacement or mechanical) heart valves, and people who have suffered a heart attack. Warfarin is also used to treat or prevent venous thrombosis (swelling and blood clot in a vein) and pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). Warfarin is in a class of medications called anticoagulants ('blood thinners'). It works by decreasing the clotting ability of the blood.
Warfarin comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take warfarin at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take warfarin exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Call your doctor immediately if you take more than your prescribed dose of warfarin.
Your doctor will probably start you on a low dose of warfarin and gradually increase or decrease your dose based on the results of your blood tests. Make sure you understand any new dosing instructions from your doctor.
Continue to take warfarin even if you feel well. Do not stop taking warfarin without talking to your doctor.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Eat a normal, healthy diet. Some foods and beverages, particularly those that contain vitamin K, can affect how warfarin works for you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of foods that contain vitamin K. Eat consistent amounts of vitamin K-containing food on a week-to-week basis. Do not eat large amounts of leafy, green vegetables or certain vegetable oils that contain large amounts of vitamin K. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you make any changes in your diet. Talk to your doctor about eating grapefruit and drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medication.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it, if it is the same day that you were to take the dose. Do not take a double dose the next day to make up for a missed one. Call your doctor if you miss a dose of warfarin.

You should know that warfarin may cause necrosis or gangrene (death of skin or other body tissues). Call your doctor immediately if you notice a purplish or darkened color to your skin, skin changes, ulcers, or an unusual problem in any area of your skin or body, or if you have a severe pain that occurs suddenly, or color or temperature change in any area of your body. Call your doctor immediately if your toes become painful or become purple or dark in color. You may need medical care right away to prevent amputation (removal) of your affected body part.
Warfarin may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat, moisture (not in the bathroom), and light. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
bloody or red, or tarry bowel movements
spitting or coughing up blood
heavy bleeding with your menstrual period
pink, red, or dark brown urine
coughing up or vomiting material that looks like coffee grounds
small, flat, round red spots under the skin

continued oozing or bleeding from minor cuts
Carry an identification card or wear a bracelet stating that you take warfarin. Ask your pharmacist or doctor how to obtain this card or bracelet. List your name, medical problems, medications and dosages, and doctor's name and telephone number on the card.
Tell all your healthcare providers that you take warfarin.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Group wants port privatisation reviewed
A major maritime stakeholder group, the National Council of Managing Directors of Licensed Customs Agents (NCMDLCA) has called for the review of the port privatisation carried out in 2006.
In a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, which was copied to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the Coordinating Minister of Economic Management Team and Minister of Finance, the Minister of Transport as well as the Managing Director of the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) and signed by the group's National President, Mr Lucky Amiwero, the group alleged that the privatisation of the ports as it was done in 2006 does not auger well for the country.
In the letter to the President, the group brought the attention of the government to the need to build confidence, grow wealth and create employment in the port system through proper organisation of port operation and legislative work.
Amiwero, who served as the Draft Committee Chairman on the Task Force for the review of Port charges and Head of Delegation to Ghana in 2001, said "Seven years into the concession, we are still being faced with management, operational and administrative problems in the present port concession.
Amiwero said his working visit to Ghana reveled critical aspects of confidence building, employment generation and wealth creation in their port privatisation as against what is obtained in Nigeria. He revealed that in Ghana, 30 per cent of the operations is reserved for the government while the remaining 70 per cent is operated through a holding company, the Meridian Ports Holding Limited, which is a joint venture between Ghana Port and Harbour Authority (GPHA), APMT/Maersk and Bollore DTI Group.

Toews' departure expected; succession planning lags
When Vic Toews finally retired from politics, he said he would be pursuing opportunities in the "private sector."
Nobody knows quite what that means, but whatever the opportunity, Toews will likely face a steep learning curve. He is a lifelong public servant, having gone straight from law school to the provincial Justice Department and then to the provincial and federal legislatures with only a brief stop as in-house counsel at Great-West Life. As a result, he may be unfamiliar with private-sector practices, such as succession planning.
Related Items
One of the hallmarks of a good private-sector company is advance planning for the replacement of top executives. Successful organizations know it can be devastating to lose a key executive without working to ensure someone else is ready to step into that position seamlessly.
It is not an exaggeration to say there has been very little planning for Toews' departure. That is not to say it wasn't expected; his retirement has been rumoured for several years now, ever since it was learned in 2008 he wanted to leave politics for a judicial appointment. Even so, there were no visible signs he was mentoring one of the other Tory MPs from Manitoba to take over his very important job.
Toews certainly leaves big shoes to fill. Nationally, he was the standard-bearer for the social conservatives in the Tory party. In Manitoba, he was, simply put, the big dog.
According to party insiders, he never sought counsel from, or offered it to, other Tory MPs. He rarely shared a stage or consulted his caucus on big decisions. He kept a decidedly low profile, doing few media interviews or public events. The rest of the caucus, perhaps having been told it was better to be seen and not heard, tended to follow his lead, and as a result, few were able to forge their own political brand.
Yet a senior cabinet post will be filled by a Manitoba Tory. Federal governments always appoint a lieutenant from each province. If Manitoba is to continue with two cabinet posts, most Tories in this province believe one of either Shelly Glover (Saint Boniface) or Candice Bergen (Portage-Lisgar) will be promoted. However, it's not clear whether they will be asked to serve as the senior minister, or whether that job will go to Steven Fletcher, MP for Charleswood-St. James-Assiniboia and a junior minister in charge of democratic reform.
It's not certain Manitoba will get an additional cabinet post. Fletcher -- the first quadriplegic MP and cabinet minister -- could take on regional duties. He has stepped in for Toews to handle negotiations on some infrastructure files and is well-liked by the province.
The more interesting question is whether Fletcher, who is almost certain to remain if his health allows it, or any other MP promoted to cabinet to take on regional-minister duties will continue Toews' style of politics.
Toews was often referred to, even in Tory circles, as the regional minister for Steinbach, the largest community in his southeast Manitoba riding of Provencher. It was a not-so-subtle shot at a politician who frequently told colleagues he cared little about Winnipeg because he didn't need the citizens of the capital city to get re-elected.
As soon as Canada's right-wing parties united, Toews became unbeatable. Even after it was learned his marriage was destroyed by an extramarital relationship with a political staffer, the ultra-religious, socially conservative voters of Provencher returned him with his largest plurality ever.
Fuelled by his electoral success, Toews tended to eschew Winnipeg issues and shunned much of the Winnipeg media. It was somewhat ironic that Toews mentioned, in a statement confirming his retirement, funding for the completion of the Red River Floodway as his most notable achievement. The reality is he reneged on a Liberal pledge to pay for the expansion outside normal infrastructure funding, even though he had promised during the 2006 election to live up to the terms of the Liberal deal.
Oddly, many of the other Manitoba Tory MPs have faithfully emulated Toews' aloof style. Particularly MPs such as Glover who, save for a few funding announcements and constituency events, is rarely seen or heard.
The difference between Toews and Glover is the latter does not hold a safe seat. In fact, strategists from all parties think if the Liberals maintain their new-found popularity, several seats, including Glover's, will suddenly be in play. Winnipeg Tory MPs would be well-advised to consider whether Toews' flying-beneath-the-radar style is a winner in the next election.
Toews had a good, long run as regional minister. With his departure, there's an opportunity to start a new era of federal Tory politics in Manitoba.
It's also an opportunity for one of Manitoba's remaining 11 Tory MPs to galvanize a personal brand while showing the Conservative party has an interest in all regions of the province.

Yet another strong storm system affected the Missouri Ozarks and southeast Kansas on March 31st, 2008. A strong cold front interacted with abundant moisture and instability already in place across the region.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Carolina Inn Chapel Hill
On Balance, A Great Place
Our room was small; the desk staff indeed indifferent; the breakfast buffet was of low-quality.
Now for the good points: The hotel is gorgeous, as are the grounds and the rooms, even our small one was lovely, comfortable and had all amenities. It would be unfair to not mention that our room was only $125 per night (with buffet), which may explain the cramped quarters. The hotel is lovingly maintained -- it downright sparkles. One truly feels they're in a special place when staying there. Be sure to have a drink in the lounge, and don't miss Crossroads Restaurant. The breakfast buffet's not worth much, but the dining room is breath-taking and ala carte entrees are much nicer. The location is absolutely unbeatable. We were right on the edge of campus and walked nearly everywhere, whether to Franklin Street two blocks away, or to the Smith Center for a game, which was just over a mile stroll each way(this saved us the hassle of parking and getting trapped in post-game traffic). Were I to return to Chapel Hill, I wouldn't do it any differently. The Carolina Inn is the place to stay.
A Very Nice Hotel
We stayed here on new years eve for a wedding and I can't say we were disappointed at all but we also weren't wowed for being such an expensive hotel. This will end up being one of my shortest reviews on Tripadvisor because I can't say anything really made me mad or really happy.
I wasn't aware but when we checked in we found out the hotel was part of the Hilton family so I got some of my Hilton perks.
When we arrived all of the self parking was full so we had to valet. There was a sign that it would be $8 overnight but they never charged us so I don't know if it was free for guests, free becasue it was full or it slipped thru the cracks. The car was warmed up and ready to go upon or departure which was nice.
The double rooms were nice with good linens and pillows. The bathroom was also nice and clean. My wife liked all the soaps they had in the bathrooms. There were more then enough towels so we were good to go.
I guess one thing that was really good was the noise. Being NYE and there was 3 wedding in the hotel that night I was certain I would hear people in the hall but I heard no one all night. That would be a major plus in my book.
We did have the buffet breakfast the next morning which was ok. Eggs, few meats, cereal, breads, etc... The wait staff was good but I started to hear grumblings that they didn't have enough food left as it got closer to the end of the breakfast bar time.
The location is great to Franklin St and the UNC campus.
Overall a nice hotel that didn't disappoint. Was it worth the money to me? I don't really think so but if we had to stay there again for another wedding I think we would.
Indifferent Concierge Service Taints this Quaint Inn
Upon arrival for a three-night stay, I was impressed by the quaintly elegant Carolina Inn. The inn is a beautiful establishment embraced by stately trees and shrubs. It's interior is enhanced with fresh floral arrangements, antique furnishings and gleaming windows. But I found its Concierge Staff a bit too intimidating. I had booked my room a year in advance so that my early request for "a quiet room with large, light-filled window views" might be honored. I guess that didn't work, because the indifferent concierge staff appointed me a cramped room containing two small, dormer-style windows. When I revisited the "stuffy" Concierge Desk, I was not too surprised that I had to plead my case for a room change. The young man, with a demeaner that matched his dark suit, finally agreed to reassign me to another room. My newly appointed room was even more bleak. This room was smaller in size and more dark because it had just one of those unfortunate dormer-style windows. And it was "noiser" due to its location right next to a storage closet being used constantly by the cleaning staff. Needless to say, I had to reacquaint myself with the Concierge Staff Down Below. They could not come up with any other options for me, so it was my suggestion to them that they reappoint the original room back to me. After spending my first three quarters of an hour at The Carolina Inn dragging my luggage around, I was finally able to settle into my "new" room. The Inn's welcome gift (a warm, really tasty chocolate chip cookie), was like sampling a consolation prize for me, even if it was stone cold by then. During my three-night stay, I couldn't help but notice that the Inn's cleaning department and other supporting cast of members were gracious, efficient and thorough. I will stay at The Carolina Inn again, but I'll be sure to telephone the Concierge Service before check-in to reconfirm my room specifications.
The best in town (forget the Sienna, which is about 3 miles away from the heart of Chapel Hilll, and has a weirdly-Vegasy feel about it). Warm chocolate chip cookies when you check in, and a nice, old fashioned southern feel.
Best Location to Franklin Street, Centered on UNC Campus
The room was quaint and very comfortable. The location is the best, one can walk downtown Chapel Hill. The service and attendance by staff was excellent. The blokes in the bar/lounge (Phillip and Chip) were excellent. Everyone extremely polite and respectful.
My one and only complaint is that I could easily hear people in the hall and the music in the room next door.
My top choice
This is my favorite hotel in Chapel Hill. It is a wonderful historical hotel located right on the UNC campus. It is only a couple blocks away from the downtown/Franklin Street area. The rooms and common areas are nicely decorated and the staff is friendly. My only complaint is that there is an industrial cleaner smell in the hallways, but is does not smell that way in the rooms. Odd. Small complaint for such a wonderful hotel. NOTE: This is a popular hotel for wedding receptions. It can be quite noisey if you have a room directly above the reception hall.
Charming Place
I stayed for one night on August 4th. The level of wervice was great. Afternoon tea was very nice and breakfast was wonderful. The restaurant service was very attentive. We walked to dinner from the Inn, town is just 2 blocks away with many restaurants to choose from. The local movie theater is 1 block away, very small and charming. The Inn is in the heart of The Chapel Hill campus.
Perfectly charming and relaxing
I only stayed at the Inn for one night, but I was quite pleased with the service, friendly front desk, as well as cleanliness and peacefulness of the hotel. The location is perfect - right next to the UNC campus. In addition, the town is withing walking distance, and the overall ambience is quite nice and relaxing. If you are looking for some place to relax and unwind, share some romance, or get good rest, this is perfect. I plan to stay there again.
Spring for a suite
Exceptional service with every staff member. The suite was spacious and the turndown chocolates were fantastic. No else has a location so close to Franklin St. The Southern charm was noticable in the furnishings and the history decor hanging on the walls. I would not stay anywhere else if staying in Chapel Hill.
Pretty Inn but so-so room
My husband and I stayed at the Carolina Inn for Valentine's Day. The inn was heavily booked due to a college sporting event so we took the last room available which was a standard room. The public spaces in the inn are very pretty (though not stunning). However, the room was disappointing: it looked no better than a small room you might get at an airport Hilton or Sheraton. Very functional with standard hotel furniture, no pictures on the wall, bland. Also, because of the hotel architecture, the one window in our room was very small (the kind you might find in an attic) and so, consequently, the room was rather dark.
BTW, we paid about $215 for the room. On a bright note, the hotel staff were very accomodating and the hotel restaurant (Crossroads) was absolutely superb! The best in the Triangle area. They also serve a very nice high tea in the lobby with scones and cream. Also, the hotel is in a great location, right around the bend from Franklin Street with all of its shops and restaurants.

The Owners are Anne and Eric Baugh. We bought this cabin because we love the location and we love this cabin. We want to share the forest with responsible people who enjoy the outdoors as much as we do. We love to ski, play golf, hike the trails and bike at Big Bear Lake. This location is so close to the Big Bear ski resort that you can walk.
The Owner purchased this cabin in 2009
The location of Mocha Bear Cabin is in the mountains, at Big Bear Lake, close to our favorite ski resort and next to the golf course. Our back yard is the National Forest. The cabin is also a two minute drive to Big Bear Lake. There are many hiking and biking trails around the cabin.
The Mocha Bear Cabin backs up to the national forest. You can walk to the golf course or Big Bear Ski Resort. It is centered between Big Bear Ski Resort and Snow Summit Ski Resort. Hiking and biking trails are located all around our cabin.
Wow! This was the most amazing trip ever. It was the first time that I got to see snow and I couldn't have had more fun. The cabin was perfect with an adorable kitchen just right for making hot coco to warm us up from the snow. The rooms were comfortable and the heated blanket was just right after a long day of sledding. The location was secluded enough to be private but not far enough to prevent visiting town and getting supplies. I can't wait to go again!!
What a wonderful place to be! Mocha Bear has everything we look for in a restful getaway...an amazing cabin, beautiful scenery and the owners are just as fantastic. Thank you for sharing a true gift, and we will be back to make more priceless memories!
Once again we have returned to Mocha Bear and it was just as great this time. The town people I spoke to were still a little wounded from the recent indicent, so we were sensitive to their mood. We got lots of snow while we were there and had a lot of fun building snowmen and sledding. We got to shovel a ton of snow. Eric was so king to call and check on us....to see if we needed anything. The snowplows had aleady hit the streets and did a great job! Someone made two rope swings that were hanging from two huge trees in the back. They were fun! I also wanted to thank everyone who has been there since our first trip, for the good care they have taken of the belongings in the cabin. Everything looked great and and well cared for, which really made it nice. We look forward to our next return!
This cabin was the epitome of perfection! Upon arrival, we could tell right away that the description delivered all that was expected and more. We took our family of 5 up to Big Bear (for the first time) for a long weekend and were not disappointed. From the surprising welcome bag filled with goodies, to the well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, this cabin was perfect. There were ample DVDs and games to use that fit a variety of ages. The homeowners were great hosts, even without being there! There was a binder of information on the cabin and on the Big Bear area. They had even gone to the courtesy of including a list of local restaurants and written their own reviews on them! The fireplace was set with wood, ready to use. Nothing had been overlooked...WOW!
Thank you for providing us the opportunity to use your cabin and for being such attentive owners! This cabin helped to set our vacation up for success and fun was had by all!
Mocha Bear cabin is idyllic! This place, these owners, are "special." Here is why: They care about their cabin and they care about their guests! The description of the cabin literally drew us in. There was something warm and inviting behind the words -- and it wasn't just marketing. When we arrived at the cabin, we experienced that warmth again and again: Through the beautiful (live) floral arrangement, to the thoughtful welcoming gift (filled with pertinent items like chap stick and moisturizer, etc), to the comfortable furnishings, to the well-appointed kitchen with a great gas stove, to the well-stocked woodpile and all pertinent household supplies, to the bathrooms (where I thoroughly enjoyed the best steamy baths and showers), to the cleanliness of everything. We were so comfortable and we loved being so close to the skiing. And on top of all that, the owners were lovely to deal with -- including the fact that we received our deposit within days of returning home! It has been an absolute pleasure, truly idyllic, and we will be returning, again and again! We are grateful for the thought and effort that went into making our stay so enjoyable.
The Cabin was WONDERFUL! My husband and I took my 8 year old son and my mother-in-law for a fun filled snow week! We make a point of going every year but this is the first time we used VRBO. The owners were terrific, even though we did not need anything, they sent an email to check and make sure everything was ok and to let them know if there was anything we needed! All the ameneties were as much or more than we expected! It was beautiful. We used the garage, which is an added plus! The location is very close to skiing, although we don't ski. There was lots of snow so we played in the back a lot. We BBQ'd in the snow too!
We look forward to our next trip to Big Bear and if Mocha Bear is availalbe, that's going to be our first choice. Thanks Anne and Eric for being so attentive and providing a wonderful space to enjoy our time as a family!
We had a great stay at Mocha Bear from January 7-9, 2011. The cabin is beautiful and although not a large cabin, it is very cozy and accomodates 6 people very well. It is close to Bear Mountain or you can take a shuttle from Bear Mountain to Snow Summit if you prefer. Thank you Eric and Anne!

A Camas woman will be reimbursed after her stroller was crushed by a C-Tran bus last week, the agency said Monday.
The stroller was empty when the incident happened Thursday. Amanda Keating was about to put her 2-year-old son Lucas in the stroller when it went off the curb and got caught under the back wheel of a Route 92 bus as it pulled away, she said.
"By the time I put my son down and turned around, the bus had already run over the front (of the stroller)," Keating said. The incident left her shaken, and left the stroller unusable.
"I'm really glad that my son wasn't already in it," she said.
Keating will be given $180 to replace the three-wheel stroller, which she had just received as a Christmas gift. She said she'd also like to see disciplinary action taken against the driver, who continued driving after the stroller had been caught under the bus.
But C-Tran has no plans to take any such action, said public affairs manager Jim Quintana. The agency has found no fault, and video surveillance footage doesn't conclusively show what happened after Keating and her son stepped off the bus.
What it does show is that the incident, first reported by KATU-TV, appears to be an accident, Quintana said.
"There was no evidence on that DVR ... that would indicate anything happened outside the bus," he said. "When that driver drove off, he had no clue that something had happened."
As for the $180 claim, the money will be paid through the Washington State Transit Insurance Pool, of which C-Tran is a member.
Keating called C-Tran to file a report almost immediately after the stroller was destroyed at Northwest Sixth Avenue and Northwest Logan Street in Camas, according to the report. The incident happened at 5:40 p.m. Thursday; Keating called C-Tran 20 minutes later.
Exactly how the stroller went off the sidewalk and under the bus is unclear. What's not in dispute: The close call could have been worse.

Maybe it's mere coincidence. We suspect not. Earlier this year, Aston Martin released its uprated Rapide S, pushing the power of its V12 four-door from 500bhp to 550bhp. Which was just a few more horsepowers than the Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
Sam Philip31 October 2013
New Panamera Turbo S: is very fast
Porsche takes the fight to the Aston Martin Rapide with its upgraded 562bhp, 193mph super-tourer
Now Porsche has announced the facelifted, even-more-powerful, even faster Panamera Turbo S. Power from its twin-turbo 4.2-litre V8 rises to 562bhp, 20bhp more than the current Turbo S and a dozen horses ahead of that pesky Rapide.
Porsche has liberated that extra power through a new brace of turbochargers with larger compressors, and increased injection pressure by 20 bar. Torque also rises by 37lb ft to a meaty 553lb ft, with an overboost function raising it to 590lb ft for short bursts.
All of which adds up to an indecently rapid machine. The upgraded Panamera will do 0-62mph in an official 3.8 seconds - though remember Porsche is notoriously conservative with its acceleration figures - and a top speed of 193mph. Enough to make the 190mph, 0-62mph-in-4.9-secs Rapide look pedestrian.
Despite the power hike, Porsche claims economy of the Panamera Turbo S has risen 11 per cent to 27.7mpg.
The facelifted Panamera Turbo S will officially debut at the Tokyo show later this month, and will land in the UK in January with prices starting at £131,049. That's £15k less than the Aston Rapide S. Which would you take?

Hollenbach lifts Shiner St. Paul to second title in three years (video)
Dec. 8, 2012 at 6:08 a.m.
WACO - Two years ago while his teammates celebrated a state championship, Adam Hollenbach joined them with a wrapped right elbow.
Hollenbach, then a sophomore, dislocated the elbow on the first play of the fourth quarter and left the game.
On Friday, he made up for lost time and left the Frisco Legacy Christian Eagles defensive players feeling as if they bumped their funny bones.
Hollenbach ran for 307 yards and scored all eight St. Paul (10-3) touchdowns in a 56-43 win over Frisco Legacy (11-3) in the TAPPS Divisioin III Championship Game at Floyd Casey Stadium.
"The team stepped up then and today I just had to do it," Hollenbach.
Hollenbach earned his second 300-yard rushing game in the last three weeks. He finishes the season with 2,227 yards and 42 touchdowns rushing.
"It makes me feel like we did our job," said senior offensive lineman Laddie Patek. "That's what it's supposed to be like."
The win gives St. Paul it's fifth state football championship and the senior class its second state championship in three seasons.
The 12 seniors on the roster end their careers with a 46-9 record, including three consecuive trips to a TAPPS state championship game.
Combined, Hollenbach's touchdown runs accumulated 132 yards.
"We just won the game," said St. Paul head coach Jake Wachsmuth. "We just plugged away, and plugged away."
Hollenbach said the team was determined to win the state title this season after losing to rival Hallettsville Sacred Heart in the TAPPS Division IV State Championship Game more than a year ago.
For senior quarterback Dakota Kresta, the win makes all the hard work and sacrifices well worth lifting the state championship trophy and having medals put around his neck.
"You get those days where it's hot, you're running sprints and you say 'I don't want to do this,'" Kresta said. "This is what it's for. I realize now all those long days at practice are to make champions."
The 5-foot-10, 160-pound Hollenbach back made up for lost time from the beginning.
He scored all five first-half touchdowns for St. Paul and surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark with 8:33 remaining in the second quarter.
Hollenbach's 68-yard score on the 12th St. Paul offensive play of the game got the Cardinals on the board and a seven-yard score 38 seconds into the second quarter put the Cardinals up for good.
His third TD of the game, from 68-yards put Hollenbach over the century mark for the third time this post season. Hollenbach averaged 237 yards per game in the playoffs.
"Losing last year did not go well with us and this year we were determined," Hollenbach said.
Although the Cardinal defense gave up 378 total yards and 43 points, they came up with a key stop and it proved to be the only one St. Paul would need.
On the first Legacy Christian drive of the second half, senior running back and inside linebacker Martin Kennedy blocked a punt and gave the Cardinals the ball on the Eagles 18.
Hollenbach scored from 12 yards out three plays later to put St. Paul ahead 41-21 with 9:35 left in the third quarter.
"We told the kids at halftime that we had to come up with a stop," Wachsmuth said. "We did, we blocked a punt, we got another stop."
"Those were humongeous plays for us at key points," Hollenbach said. "Marco Ynclan was key because it was the second drive of the second half and we picked it up and scored again. Martin's blocked punt set up another score."
Kresta completed 4 of 6 passes for 112 yards and rushed six times for 28 yards. Kennedy had 69 yards on eight carries.
"I love my school, I love my team more than anything. I wouldn't want to win state with any team other than this one," Kresta said fighting back tears.

WASHINGTON -- ``Miracle begets yawn'' has been the American reaction to the inauguration of Hamid Karzai as president of Afghanistan. Before our astonishing success in Afghanistan goes completely down the memory hole, let's recall some very recent history.
For almost a decade before 9/11, we did absolutely nothing about Afghanistan. A few cruise missiles hurled into empty tents, followed by expressions of satisfaction about the ``message'' we had sent. It was, in fact, a message of utter passivity and unseriousness.
Then comes our Pearl Harbor and the sleeping giant awakes. Within 100 days, al Qaeda is routed and the Taliban overthrown. Then the first election in Afghanistan's history. Now the inauguration of a deeply respected democrat who, upon being sworn in as legitimate president of his country, thanks America for its liberation.
This, in Afghanistan, just three years ago not just hostile but untouchable. What do liberals have to say about this singular achievement by the Bush administration? That Afghanistan is growing poppies.
Good grief. This is news? ``Afghanistan grows poppies'' is the sun rising in the east. ``Afghanistan inaugurates democratically elected president'' is the sun rising in the west. Afghanistan has always grown poppies. What is Bush supposed to do? Send 100,000 GIs to eradicate the crop and incite a popular rebellion?
The other complaint is that Karzai really does not rule the whole country. Again the sun rises in the east. Afghanistan has never had a government that controlled the whole country. It has always had a central government weak by Western standards.
But Afghanistan's decentralized system works. Karzai controls Kabul, most of the major cities, and much in between. And he is successfully leveraging his power to gradually extend his authority as he creates entirely new federal institutions and an entirely new military.
Again, what should Bush have done? Send another 100,000 GIs to put down warlords with local roots, local legitimacy and a ton of firepower?
What has happened in Afghanistan is nothing short of a miracle. Who is responsible for it? The New York Times gives the major credit to ``the Afghan people'' with their ``courage and commitment.'' Courage and commitment there was, but that courage and commitment was curiously imperceptible until this administration conceived a radical war plan, executed it brilliantly, liberated the country and created from scratch the structures of democracy.

On November 2, 2012, Attorney Nathan Eisenberg represented Teamsters Local Union 627 in a discharge case where the grievant had been unjustly discharged for allegedly allowing another employee to drive a passenger vehicle that did not have the nescessary permit to transport passengers. The employer argued that the act of the grievant was wilful. Though cross examination of the employers lead witness, Mr. Eisenberg was able to get the witness to acknowledge that there had been other employees that had in fact drove a school bus on a expired permit, yet the witness said that action was dtermined not to be wilful and the only discipline was a written verbal warning. After the testimony of that witness, the arbitrator called for a break and the employers counsel approached the Union with an offer to return the grievant to work. Terms were negotiated and agreed to the satisfication of the Union and more importantly to the grievant, and she returned to work the next business day.
Attorney Eisenberg was very well prepared, very knowleadgeble, and excellent at cross examination.
I am President and Principal Officer of my Local Union and I have served in office for 33 years have had the good fortune of working with some very capable Attorneys, I would put Mr. Eisenberg right at the top of my list.

What travellers think
Travellers that stayed here think this hostel is best for
- Sightseeing
- Culture
It's perfact everything, the best start in Budapest!
Wed 11 Mar 2015
Schade das am Sontag die Zimmer gemacht worden sind. Sonst war alles einigermassen ok.
Mon 15 Dec 2014
The system was a bit weird. If you book the hostel, you will be able to see that "[a] discount of 10 % of rates quoted is available to members on arrival." However, there was no discount on arrival. Don't forget: you need to pay a bit more to use towels during the stay and to have breakfast there. Wifi didn't work and the laundry room was not available while I was staying there. The staff member also mistakenly checked me out while I went for a walk early in the morning..
Suh Hee,

Das Frühstück ist eher nicht zu empfehlen, auch wenn es sehr günstig ist. Leider war in der Bar zu unserer Zeit nichts los und wohl dadurch auch das Angebot sehr eingeschränkt.

Today marks the American Diabetes Association's annual effort to get everyone to test whether they're at risk for diabetes.
You know the numbers, or maybe you don't. They've escalated tremendously in just a year!
26 million people have diabetes, among them 23 million have type 2. 25-35% of those people don't know they have diabetes. And almost a whopping 79 million people have pre-diabetes !
Since doctors don't prescribe medication or much in the way of lifestyle change for pre-diabetes, if you have it chances are high within 5 to 10 years you'll have type 2 diabetes. So knowing if you have pre-diabetes is just as important as knowing if you have diabetes.
Risk factors for pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes:
People in your family have type 2 diabetes
You're over 45 years old
You belong to a high-risk ethnic group: African American, Native American, Latino, Pacific Islanders
You're overweight and don't move much
You have high blood pressure
You had diabetes while pregnant or delivered a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
Now take the diabetes risk test . The Test asks you simple questions about your weight, age, family history, like above, and other potential risks for type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. You'll learn whether you are at low, moderate or high risk for type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes Alert Day lasts a month: It runs through April 22 during which time the ADA will be rallying one million people to take the Test. Be among them.
Seriously, you could be walking around with diabetes and not know it like millions of people.
If that's true for you, by time you're officially diagnosed, years from now, you may be among the 25% who have complications upon diagnosis because they had diabetes for years and didn't know it so didn't take care of it.
Trust me, if you can avoid that, do. Take the test, it's a very small price to pay for a very large gift - knowing whether or not you have diabetes now.

Mad About Mangoes
Reside in South Florida long enough and you'll eventually get hit by a mango falling from a tree. That's some pesky squirrel's way of telling you that mango season is here again.
Surely by now you know the best way to eat a mango (naked in a bathtub), but what else do you know about this fragrant, juicy fruit?
Whatever your answer, you'll want to check out Mango Mania at the Fruit & Spice Park (24801 SW 187th Ave., Homestead) Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Park experts will give you an overview of everything mango-related. You'll learn how to grow and graft mango trees, how to troubleshoot diseases and identify and eradicate pesky insects, and how to distinguish hundreds of mango varieties.
Mango Mania isn't all talk, though. You can sample these luscious fruits until your arms and clothes are covered in juice (wait until you're home to get naked with your mango, please). Traditional Asian sticky rice with mango will also be served for your mango-loving pleasure. And if you still haven't gotten enough mango, you fleshy-citrus freak, the nice people at the Fruit & Spice Park will give you a tour of their grove, containing 160 mango varieties.
