South African film-makers of Indian origin Mehboob Bawa and Razia Rawoot, who have purchased the rights of the book Love in the Time of Treason, are looking for Indian partners for funding and distribution.
The Zubeida Jaffer book is the real life story of Ayesha Dawood, a South African national of Indian origin who was part of the anti-apartheid movement led by Nelson Mandela, and an Indian Yusuf Mukadam, hailing from the coastal belt of Konkan in the 1950s.
The book has been adapted into a script by Paul Ian Johnson and the producers are looking to India for a director and two male actors to play Ayesha's husband and father.
Mehboob said he has held meetings with various film studios.
"We are in the process of meeting various companies and it is too early to say anything. But the meetings we had with Cinergy and others, lead us to believe that we will at least find distribution partners in India," he said.
"I have sent the script to Shekhar Kapur. Yashraj were more positive about the film's potential ," he added.
Mehboob, an actor-writer and radio and TV presenter whose family migrated to South Africa from Ratnagiri in Maharashtra, said his debut film project is budgeted at USD 10 million and he plans to shoot eight weeks in Ayesha's hometown Worcester and three weeks in India.
He said Irrfan Khan has been approached for the role of Ayesha's husband and Om Puri is being considered for the father's role. The female lead will be a South African actress.
Ayesha, 82, lives in Cape Town and has been a dedicated anti-apartheid activist and a member of the African National Congress.
Her father Ahmed Tambe had migrated from Konkan to South Africa and settled there by marrying a South African woman.
In 1949, a young Ayesha, with the support of her father, became the first South African woman of Indian origin to represent the ANC at a conference in Copenhagen.
"She stood with others like Mandela during the infamous treason trials. Her family home was raided and her relatives harassed. She was repeatedly arrested and imprisoned," Mehboob said. - PTI

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Sad lyrics don't necessarily make sad songs. (The best example might be Kylie Minogue's "I Should Be So Lucky": Just when you think you're hearing an ecstatic yipping-poodle track of the don't worry, be happy Eighties, you realize that the Australian Madonna is saying everyone's in love except her.) The most effective melancholy tunes mess with your immediate emotional response. Take Dan Israel's Cedar Lake: The local singer-songwriter's voice is so stoic that he could be singing CNN transcripts, for all you know. But read the lyrics: He's talking about living with depression ("Heavy"), reacting to 9/11 ("Phone Call"), and, er, dealing with the death of his cat ("Lucy").
That last one's a little facetious. And it's to Israel's credit that you can't necessarily tell: He maintains the same stogie-puffing tone no matter what words he's singing. Although the lyrics sometimes lose resonance with all of their heavy-handed poeticism ("I was an actor, I could deceive/But without you I would only grieve"), the no-frills sound balances out the more dramatic metaphors. (Israel recorded the album on a four-track in his apartment, using mostly guitar, harmonica, and a handful of chords.) Cedar Lake is at its best when it's stripped-down and stream-of-consciousness--the sound of an open-mic improviser playing in his underwear. Sometimes even the best actors don't need to put on a show.

GLANDORF ¢ Eight-year old Macy Ellerbrock wanted to do something special when she heard a neighbor had brain cancer. She wanted to do something that would show her concern and also help the family with their ongoing medical expenses.
ōI heard he had a lot of expenses and I wanted to help him with that,ö Macy said.
Her solution was to set up a lemonade stand at her Anthony Avenue home in Glandorf.
She painted a sign stating ōMacyÆs Lemonade, Money goes to a family in need.ö
Each night from Sunday, April 21 through April 26, she would set up her stand after school at the end of her drive.
ōMy mom and dad helped me make the lemonade each night,ö Macy said. She was also assisted by her brother Evan, who would help her set up her table and sign. Also assisting Macy was also assisted by her cousin, Brayden Ellerbrock, who would get off the bus at MacyÆs home and offer his assistance. Brayden is in kindergarten.
ōHe really loved helping me out when he could,ö Macy said.
She said the response was very positive. ōOne person said they were diabetic and couldnÆt drink any lemonade, but gave me a $3 donation,ö Macy said.
Her second grade teacher saw her with the lemonade stand and shared with MacyÆs entire class what Macy was doing.
ōThat was really nice,ö Macy admitted.
Macy said her neighbor did not know she was doing this special act of kindness for him.
ōHe was really surprised when I took the money over to him and told him what I had done,ö Macy said.
Macy said she has many interests and hopes to grow up to be a teacher. ōI love playing school, soccer and I love sports,ö she said.
ōIÆm very proud of her,ö her mother Jaylene said. ōShe has a good heart.ö
Macy is the daughter of Jaylene and Chad Ellerbrock.

There are more than 100,000 over-the-counter and numerous other prescription drugs available. When taken correctly, these medicines can help relieve symptoms such as pain or an upset stomach, fight certain infections, and even improve the quality of life for those with chronic illnesses such as arthritis, diabetes, cancer and more.
"These are serious medicines that need to be taken with care," said Dr. Randolph Peto, medical director, Healthcare Quality and Patient Safety at Baystate Medical Center.
And that's why it's important to "Be MedWise" as the campaign slogan states every time your purchase and use both over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
"Being medicine smart means becoming a more informed consumer about your prescription medications, which will allow you to derive the most benefit from them and to help avoid medication errors," said Dr. Peto.
October is Talk About Prescriptions Month, sponsored by the National Council on Patient Information and Education, with the goal of encouraging patients and their caregivers to take a more active role in preventing medication errors and keeping careful records of all their medications and taking greater responsibility for monitoring those medications.
Problems associated with medications are among the most common safety risks for patients, and as a national leader in patient safety, Baystate Medical Center is dedicated to increasing medication safety among patients and the public.+
"Being MedWise" means getting all the information necessary to use your medicine correctly, noted Dr. Peto.
"That means asking questions and sharing important information about past medicine use to better ensure that you get the most benefit from your treatment," he said.
And, it also means knowing several key facts about the medicines you are currently taking and being able to share that information with members of your healthcare team with each visit.
"It's important to keep track of the names of the medicines you are taking, how much you take, when and how you take it, why you take it, and when you started it," said Dr. Peto.
Dr. Peto, along with his colleagues, including the entire Pharmacy staff at Baystate, is encouraging all patients and the general public during Talk About Prescriptions Month to take a more active role in improving medication safety for themselves and loved ones.
"Medication errors can occur in various settings including at the doctor's office, at the pharmacy, in the hospital, and at home," Dr. Peto said.
Aside from checking that your prescription has been filled correctly by the pharmacist, there are several ways consumers can protect themselves related to medications, he added.
Among the "Top Five" safety tips offered by Dr. Peto when it comes to prescription medications are:
1. Use one pharmacy for all your medications. This will allow your pharmacist to check for drug interactions.
2. Always carry a list of your current medications, including herbal supplements and over-the-counter drugs. Be sure your doctor knows about all of these medications when prescribing new ones. The list is also helpful in emergency situations.
3. Consult with your doctor before stopping any medications, changing the amount you take, missing a dose, or adding herbal supplements.
4. When you are prescribed a new drug, know when and how to take it and what the purpose of the medication is. Repeat the instructions you have been given back to the nurse, physician or pharmacist who is helping you.
5. Monitor any possible side effects and contact your doctor or healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms that begin after taking your new medication.
"A significant problem today is the issue of financially challenged seniors skipping or halving doses. We must get the message out that not following instructions when taking medications can pose a grave danger to patients," said Dr. Peto.
"And in today's economy, it's not just seniors trying to economize. Others, as well, are choosing to not follow the full prescription directions. Remember, for your health, you should talk to your health care provider if you're contemplating cutting back on medications because of the cost," he added.
Dr. Peto also recommends for those who cannot afford a prescription to ask their doctor if there are any programs or alternatives to reduce their cost.

Stocks jump as industrial production rises
NEW YORK Investors barreled into stocks Wednesday after an upbeat report on industrial production raised hopes that the economy is strengthening.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 108 points to another high for the year as General Electric Co. and International Business Machines Corp. jumped. It was the market's eighth gain in nine days.
The promising report from the Federal Reserve on industrial production came a day after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said that the recession was likely over. Investors have been scooping up stocks for six months in anticipation of a rebound in the economy.
The central bank's report that industrial activity surged 0.8 percent in August topped expectations. The Fed also said the improvement in production for July was twice what it had initially reported.
The report and rising commodity prices lifted shares of manufacturing companies like aluminum producer Alcoa Inc.
Other big gains came from financial stocks, which have been building momentum as they push above certain price levels watched by traders. GE, which has a large financial arm and often trades like a bank stock, jumped for a third day. American Express Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. rose more than 3 percent.
Money has been flowing into stocks as some professional investors rush to keep with the market's gains and fear being left behind.
"People are looking to play catch-up at this point," said Christian Bendixen, director of technical research at Bay Crest Partners LLC in New York.
The Dow rose 108.30, or 1.1 percent, to 9,791.71, its highest close since Oct. 6, when it ended at 9,956. The index is now up 11.6 percent for the year.
The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 16.13, or 1.5 percent, to 1,068.76, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 30.51, or 1.5 percent, to 2,133.15.
The advance comes even as analysts warn that stocks are due for a break. The S&P 500 index, the benchmark for many mutual funds, has surged 58 percent since it tumbled to a 12-year low in early March. An extended ascent tends to spook investors, who see it as a sign of indiscriminate buying.
Peter Schwartz, principal at Gregory J. Schwartz & Co. in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., expects stocks will rise but not without interruptions. "We can't have this trajectory for perpetuity without speed bumps along the way," he said.
Jason Pride, director of research at Haverford Investments in Radnor, Pa., would like to see more moderate gains but said the nature of markets is to overdo it. "The market can extend its speculation surrounding this economic rebound much longer than people expect," he said.
GE jumped $1, or 6.3 percent, to $17, adding to its gain for the week and erasing its loss for the year. The company plans to update analysts on its business Thursday. IBM, which carries more weight in the Dow because of its higher stock price, rose $2.47, or 2.1 percent, to $121.82, its best close of the year.
Alcoa rose 48 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $14.47 after the report on industrial production.

First 50 rds in my FDE G19 were all in the forehead. I talked to Glock and they sent me a new ejector and a new extractor. The ejector is a 30274. Installed both, ran another 50 rds. I had maybe 5 rds eject correct, the rest were at the 6. Some just fly out and hit my hand. No FTEs which is a good thing. Now since I have parts to mess with I am going to try the "Dave" fix to the extractor. Stay tuned.
My FNX-9 worked perfect.

Would You Buy A Barbie MP3 Player?
by Tech
Like us on Facebook
Barbiegirls.com, a new site for the Barbie girl in us all, has revealed it will sell a Barbie Girls MP3 Player starting in July.
Apparently, the accessory pack to go along with the player includes art deco beads, fashion-girl earrings, a color-popping backcover, a pet charm and an exclusive pet (panda, penguin or turtle) adoptable online. The accessories snap onto the wires attached to the ear buds. Accessory packs will cost about $10. No word yet on the cost of the player.
As someone who grew up in a Barbie-free household, I am less than excited for this and wonder if young girls really need Barbie on their MP3 players to make them interesting. Isn't it about the music and player's functions after all?

I wouldn't buy it even as a gift for a young girl. Barbies reinforce the already pounded in idea of having to be skinny to be pretty. Helloooooo body image issues. Plus, as the kid gets older they're not going to want a Barbie mp3 player anymore and it'll become a waste of money.

Despite Gujarat being in no mood to allow shifting of any of its Asiatic lions, the Madhya Pradesh government has spent over Rs. 14.53 crore to relocate 1,543 families in the Kuno Palpur Wildlife Sanctuary being prepared as an alternative habitat for the king of the jungle.
At present, Asiatic lions are found only in Gir forests in Gujarat and the Centre had plans to relocate some of them to Kuno Sanctuary to repopulate the endangered species there.
There are around 800 lions in the Gir forests but experts feel that the concentration of the entire lion population at one place exposes it to the danger of being wiped out by disease or natural calamity.
However, the Narendra Modi government has categorically refused to part with the lions citing non-conducive environment such as threat from poachers and poor prey base in the Madhya Pradesh sanctuary spread over 344.686 square km.
Kuno was identified as a best potential site by the Wildlife Institute of India among two other sites - Darrah-Jawahar Sagar and Sitamata (both in Rajasthan) long back in 1993, a senior environment official said.

liquid core optical ring resonators
biological engineering
|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|Liquid core optical ring resonators (LCORRs) allow label-free detection of biological chemical molecules, along with low sample consumption and a low detection limit. The LCORR is a glass capillary that is heated and pulled to a diameter of about 100 ?m and a wall thickness of a few microns. The LCORR being hollow naturally provides a fluidic channel to deliver the sample to the sensor. The cross section forms a ring resonator that supports whispering gallery modes (WGMs), which interact with the sample inside the capillary. Three devices are essential to conducting LCORR research. These devices are an LCORR puller, a taper puller, and a syringe pump. The LCORR puller and taper puller cannot be purchased, so must be made out of necessity. Syringe pumps can be purchased but are very expensive, so cheaper versions were made. Also the pulling of LCORRs was modeled in MatLab using a simplified steady-state equation solved by the forward derivative method. For the LCORR puller a setup was made that consists of two computer controlled CO2 lasers, two computer controlled slides driven by stepper motors, and a program with a user interface created in LabVIEW to control the setup. For the taper puller a setup was made that consists of two computer controlled slides driven by stepper motors, a manual torch, and a program with a user interface created in LabVIEW to control the setup. For each syringe pump (total of 3) a setup was made that consists of one slide driven by a stepper motor, an LCD screen, LED indicators, and a PIC microcontroller to run these components.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Plenty of local churches have been welcoming
new faces lately, and the latest in that line is the First United Methodist Church in town, which recently introduced Rev. Paul Ritchey as its new pastor.

BROOKVILLE — The Jefferson County Department of Emergency Services is reminding residents and businesses affected by severe storms and flooding between June 27 and July 12 that they can apply for low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration at a Disaster Loan Outreach Center set up in Reynoldsville.
According to Tracy W. Zents, Director of Emergency Services, loans are available in response to a letter from Gov. Tom Corbett on July 12, requesting a disaster declaration by the SBA.
DELANCEY — Every town has a story to tell — one rich with history and legends.
For those who live in Adrian, also known as DeLancey, a piece of that history will be celebrated at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the St. Adrian's Roman Catholic Church, courtesy of the PRIDE Coal Memorial Committee.
Sitting inside the church is an old antique Hinners pipe organ that is over 120 years old.
The historical organ was manufactured by the Hinners and Albertson Organ Company of Pekin, Ill.
Purchased by the church, it was shipped to Adrian in pieces by train.
REYNOLDSVILLE — The Pennsylvania State Police Troop C VICE unit began an undercover investigation on July 2 into the distribution of heroin in the Reynoldsville area.
The Troop C VICE unit made several undercover purchases of heroin from Paul Neves, 30, Reynoldsville, in and around his Brown Street residence, according to police.
On July 19, Neves was taken into custody on a traffic stop in the Reynoldsville Borough.
A search warrant was then conducted at Neves' residence.

Chaos is based on this theory : Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for chaotic systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general.

Fearful choice for death
Condemned men in Nevada have their choice of death by hanging, shooting or poison and there has been much discussion lately of having the same law in New York State. One drop of hydro cyanide acid on the end of the tongue is sufficient to produce instant death and by law is given by a physician of the prison who is instructed in its use.
Woolen Mill dam gives way
The brackets on the Woolen Mill Dam over the Schroon River were carried away at 5 o'clock on the morning of March 9, 1911 by the weight of ice and water resting upon them. They cannot be replaced until the water goes down in the spring . In the meantime, the woolen Mill plant on Milton Avenue and the Hudson Valley power station in Warrensburgh are deprived of power from that source. The mill is running with steam power. There is a loss of 250 to 275 horsepower from wires of the trolley line.
Wedding bells
Fred Graves and Clara Tripp, both of Warrensburgh, were married Saturday, Feb. 25, 1911 by the Rev. W.S. Warren. Attendants were Isabel Bidwell and Bernice J. Howard.
Allen P. Russell and Miss Ferna A. Walsh, both of Warrensburgh, were married by the Rev. W.S. Warren Saturday evening, March 4, 1911 at the Baptist parsonage.
News roundabout
Four inches of snow fell in Bakers Mills on Sunday morning. The thermometer registered 18 below zero the next Thursday, March 16, 1911 at Sanford Kenyon's store in Kenyontown, Thurman.
The population of Warrensburgh is now 2,385 and there are 805 people in Thurman. Stony Creek has 858 and Lake George has 1,482 citizens.
Workmen are now digging and blasting for the cellar of the store to be erected in the spring by T.P. Braley and Dr. D.L. Rogers, just north of the Baptist Church in Bolton Landing and fronting on the river road.

Keywords: Condominium
We had a wonderful stay in the upstairs and downstairs units. The units were clean and VERY well stocked. We had our family of 5 (three teenage children) plus both sets of grandparents and brother in law. We had PLENTY of room for sleeping and relaxing. We have used VRBO units many times (Hawaii, Minnesota, Washington DC, etc.) -- I would say the main upstairs unit had the BEST assortment of cookware/dishes I have ever experienced. We have food allergies and some picky eaters so we usually prepare 95% of our meals at the condos where we stay - I was very pleasantly surprised by the cookware. Nothing crazy fancy, but just a very nice assortment of different cooking pieces and all in good shape.
Enjoyed working with the owners:
We had a small issue the first night we arrived - I sent an email to the owners and had a personal phone call within two hours to help solve the problem. (Turned out the problem was us, not the unit in any way.) I would highly recommend these units.
We were so pleased with our accomodations at Boyne. Both units were clean and had everything we needed just as we expected by the description. We love Deer Lake and the heated pool. We visited Charlevoix, Petosky and of course, Boyne City. The Friday Night stroll in Boyne City is a favorite of the whole family. We always enjoy Red Mesa Grill and tried Thick and Juicy for burgers, great. Our grandson did zip line with his Dad this year and loved it. The adults had all done that last year. All enjoy Avalanche Bay water park, did that too. The whole week was great, didn't matter we had a couple of cool days.
All was excellent. Only issues were bottom unit didn't seem to have it's own temp. Controls and when calling for house keeping services they never came. Had to purchase household items they were supposed to stock. Units were very nice and clean. Also had all typed of kitchen amenities.
Hosted family reunion. Everybody had outstanding experience.
The condo was exactly as described. Working with the owner was an excellent experience, effortless really. I would recommend this rental for anyone looking to stay with a large group of people. We had 10 adults and it was very comfortable for everyone.
Our family rented the bottom part of this condo. The unit was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We used this rental as our base so that we could travel and see the sights around the area. It was perfect for that purpose but we wish we would of taken time to enjoy the resort more. The resort provided a lot of activities that we just did not plan time for but would of liked to. We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay. We would not hesitate to rent this condo again!
I should add that the owners were very kind and accommodating. We were very appreciative of their kindness. They were very quick to return our deposit too!
Boyne Mountain is within a 20 min drive from Charlevoix from which Lake Charlevoix leads into Lake Michigan. Torch Lake, Traverse City, and Mackinac Island.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 980 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by gadget11 It is what it is Big hotel with - conventions, towers, etc. - but it has problems. It feels old - the carpets in hallways, chips in door paint, small tubs, etc - and it is dark. Toilet was not functional on arrival I believe because I was sent up before the housekeeper had cleared the room for occupancy. Why are all the room so huge? Everyone whom I knew at the meeting was there alone and would have been happy with half the space and 2/3 the price. I didn't understand that "green" meant no cleaning. I thought it meant only don't change sheets and towels. And until Queens Quay catches up with downtown, prospective guests should know that there are no serious restaurants or activities at the forlorn waterfront. But I had several scheduling problems with arrival and departure and the desk staff was wonderful and gracious. Many thanks. March 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ocram Great Location This hotel has the best location, beautiful view of the lake and the city. But the SPA experience was not acceptable to me. I required information via email, from the website, regarding a massage. I asked about the rate and what hours as I was in conference all day would like to relax and end my busy day with a massage. Two simple questions, and they never replied to me. Very disappointing. I would have liked some kind of reply. You do not need to post this review. March 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sando Poor wifi The hotel was beautiful with above par expectations re the food and facilities. That is, with exception of the in-room wifi. I generally gave up waiting for a connection as the time (greater than five minutes) far exceeded my needs. Fix that and the hotel becomes a 5 star. March 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mare BUSY The upside...Stayed overnight at the Westin as part of a "Wizard of Oz" package. Overall pleasantly surprised with the massive size of the hotel, front staff service, and overall cleanliness of accommodations. The downside... Must of visited on one of the busiest nights at a hotel that I've ever experienced! NO VALET service??? Full parking facility??? Was willing to pay extra just for that convenience but ended up having to drudge though construction obstructions and freezing temperatures to park at a lot that was PACKED!!! Worst part! Took almost 1hour by the time we arrived to find out there was no valet service available, purchase a parking ticket, going to the lot a block away, drive around aimlessly looking for a spot, walking back, checking in, wading through the crowds of people to the elevators and finding the room. Exhausting. March 3, 2013

I REPLIED "NO" .THAT IS WHERE THE CONVERSATION ENDED AND I FELT AS IF I NEEDED TO HAVE REPLIED "YES" IN ORDER TO GET ANY ADDITIONAL CONVERSATION FROM THE CHECK IN EMPLOYEE. WHEN I POSITIONED A FEW QUESTIONS TO HIM, HIS REPLY WAS SHORT AND ABRUPT. I ACTUALLY FOUND MYSELF APLOGIZING TO HIM AND STATED "I AM SORRY, SHOULD I BE AN SPG MEMBER?" February 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by shmfan Fantastic Staff and Great Room Even though the hotel was hosting a major event the night I stayed, because I was an SPG member (not even Gold), they let me jump the line completely. Everyone was so accommodating and nice. The Starbucks girls were fantastic and truly entertaining at 7 am when I was sick. I've stayed at many competing hotels with Westin and this is definitely my first choice for my next stay. February 27, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by KelsterMania Westin Harbor Castle Unfortunately we were disappointed with our stay as this property is in serious need of upgrades and improvements. The sofas in the lobby/lounge area are very old and dirty and the rooms although functional show their age. The cost of breakfast was also outrageous. $27 for a breakfast buffet that had an average assortment of selections is almost as much of an insult as the $6.50 for a bagel that costs less than $0.40. February 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rollingjones Service in this hotel was excellent I have stayed in top hotels all over the world so it's a little hard to surprise me but Westin Harbour Castle did just that! From check-in with Sean, who went out of his way to ensure I had a nice room, to the room service which was extremely quick and efficient to the room service menu which had very healthy food. I had a bad cold and really needed a place to stay warm and comfortable for my demanding trip. Not only did I get that but I also had a perfect view of the lake and nourishing food which helped make a tough business trip much better. Thanks to the staff at Westin for being so good at what you do! February 26, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by Bluebell Attention to Detail Please My Company has just chosen The Westin Harbour Castle as our new hotel in Toronto and i was looking forward to coming here as i enjoy staying in Westin Hotels. We arrived in the evening after a long tiring flight to be met with having to lug our cases up a large flight of stairs unassisted. I had too much luggage to be able to carry them up together, therefore had to make two journeys. This meant having to leave some luggage at the bottom unattended whilst carrying the case up. Then leaving the case at the top unattended whilst going down to get the rest. On my last trip up the stairs i saw a small black inconspicuous phone on the wall saying call if assistance needed. Bit late by that time. I appreciate that building works are taking place at the entrance however, in my opinion, this does not excuse the lack of forethought or attention. Your bell captains must be aware of the situation and station assistance at the bottom of the stairs to assist your guests. The stairs, although salted, were steep and dangerous and not the welcome i was expecting from such a prestigious brand. On leaving the hotel (as no assistance was offered by the staff) I opted to use the fairly steep ramp down to the road, however, this then entailed having to walk on the road (no pavement) getting in the way of traffic to get to our transport. Also not an acceptable option. Upon reaching reception, we were met with overly loud 'relaxing' music which was so bad we could hardly hear each other speak. We did ask for it to be turned down and this was done. Again, not the welcome i was expecting. My room, however, was nice and i had a fantastic view over the harbour. Lovely bed as always! Shower bit low for me. The Starbucks was only open for a short period in the morning only; i would have liked to have a coffee and sandwich in the afternoon. There are no decent coffee shops within the vicinity and i do not understand the need to close it during the day. The gym was well kitted out and appreciated. I am very tall and the ceiling height is low; this felt restrictive whilst on the CV equipment. Overall the stay was OK but i expected more and i do hope that the issue with the stairs leading to the entrance is addressed before someone is seriously hurt. February 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by leadedge As good as it gets! We found The Westin Harbour Hotel to be one of our favourite all time hotels, and we have stayed in many!! The staff was fantastic, valet parking was very easy and the rooms were clean and very comfortable. Location is perfect, with just a short walk to the ACC and Hockey Hall of Fame! My top criteria for a good room is a clean bathroom with a good shower and The Westin's showers are awesome!! The staff made you feel like you were royalty and my kids loved getting their Kids Club bags with the sun-hats! We will be staying here every time we visit Toronto from now on! February 24, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SG1980 The hotel needs improvement I stayed alone in room 714 this week and I was disappointed with the service and the hotel. The phone instruments in my room didn't work. I wasn't informed that I am getting a room with a special needs washroom. The water would flow out to the rest of the floor b/c there was no bath-tub and the shower curtains were too short. My cooler didn't work, and when I asked for a bar fridge the lady replied to me that I will be charged extra, when I have never paid for a mini fridge in any of the other hotels in North America. We weren't informed that WiFi was charged, when many of the small coffee shops and big hotels have free WiFi. There was too much noise from the room next to me. I couldn't sleep the first night of my stay there. The food catered at the conference was good. The fitness facility was decent. February 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sally21 Very comfortable Hotel and staff at registration were excellent. Room was very comfortable. Food at the award dinner was great, would have been excellent if it was hot. The only disapointment was the buffet breakfast the next day... staff meandered to our table or didn't come at all, coffee tasted burned and the food was cold. This was unfortunate as this is our last impression. February 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ultra123 Banquet facilaties The room was great but breakfast supplied in the ball room the next day was cold including the coffee. February 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ecopod Very Good (with one small hiccough) Overall excellent, staff very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Lovely room with great view, no complaints at all. Due to vandalism the pool was closed which was not good given alternate pool was a bus ride away and very cold, worse was that to use the gym we had to go into main foyer to get back and forth, not good when looking sweaty (this is not the hotels fault) February 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Marshall1013 Toronto Feb 2013 Overall a great experience and what I expect from a Westin. The only downsides were that the food and beverage service in all the restaurants and bars was extremely slow and quality was not great, especially for the prices they charge (which are typical of hotel restaurant prices). The internet service that you have to pay for is horrendous, slower than the old days of dial up. Total rip off. I work in the tech industry, have a brand new laptop that is very fast anywhere else, but with the Westin's 'high speed' internet it could take minutes for a single page to load. I feel completely taken advantage of that I was charged for the service. I know there were other groups in the hotel that got it free, but I also heard everyone complaining about how lousy it was. Not bad if you got it for free I guess, robbery if you had to pay. Hotel is a great location if you are attending a sports event or concert. Nice rooms, friendly staff. February 20, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by jlw1997 Great stay Good hotel, nice room, would have liked 2 Queen beds instead of 2 Doubles. Entrance is a little awkward, maybe that was due to construction, but we didn't see the long ramp to drive up the first time. Valet was excellent. Pool was temporarily out of service, but we appreciated the complimentary wifi. You know you are at a good hotel if something isn't right and they offer to make it up to you in another way. Added family features like the lizard show in the lobby for the kids on Sunday was a nice extra bonus. Thank you, Great Stay. February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by maxwell16 Great customer service from the minute you drive onto the property We came for my birthday for two nights.It was an extremely cold day however the valets were smiling and dressed very professionally. Assisting you as soon as you drive in the driveway. There was a line up for registering, however a staff member is directing each guest to the next free agent and answering any questions we had in the meantime. The staff are always greeting you as you see them in the halls, etc. We had a beautiful view of the lake and the islands, we could even see the planescoming in to land. The Toula restaurant on the top floor has a splendid view of Toronto and the islands especially at night and great food and staff. The Westin is a great place to get away from the day to day life and just relax for a couple of nights. February 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rick Stay away from the breakfest buffet Worst Buffet ever for a comparable hotel. Food was not hot, fruit was not ripe. At those prices, a cooking station for eggs should be included. You've been warned! February 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FourMacs Excellent Service The restaurant service on Monday February 18th for Breakfast was outstanding, a special birthday was being celebrated and the server, manager and chef went above and beyond to make sure we had a special 16 birthday celebration. Thank You February 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by James320 Excellent property Overall good stay. Staff, room, restaurents, quietness all good. Two issues I have are slow check in process. Have been up to 30 min from time I stepped into the hotel until I'm in my room....15 min is very common...appears to be insufficient front desk staff. Other issue is the inability to obtain a comfortable room temp(this time too hot) and the vet fans in many of the rooms are exceedingly loud. February 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DisappointedMom Not at all impressed. When I booked this hotel, it was for my sons 10th birthday. We choose this hotel because it appeared very nice online. However, when we got there, the pool was closed for 5 days (which noone informed us about until we checked in).The pool is the main reason we choose Westin. When checking out, one of the men who bring lugguage in, said to me:"are you going to move?" I didnt realize I was in his way............excuse me would have been nice. February 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tina The hotel and view were quite nice. Overall, we were happy with our stay however, we ordered room service later in the evening and found the food absolutely terrible. I would NEVER order it again. Fries tasted like they were reheated from the morning and the ceaser salad we ordered didn't have one piece of bacon or any form of cheese whatsoever. For the price, it was beyond disappointing February 18, 2013

Bravely Default
Hasten World really screws with the boss AI does it not?
They rarely ever Defaults now that I'm using it, and I've been seeing really dumb decisions where Spellcasters, healers and summoners would spend their additional brave point to try and deal pitiful melee damage to my kairai'd swordmaster tank.
It's almost sad.

Woot I beat one of the dragons with my team, simply took out Hasten World lol, with Hasten World, the Dragon can Eye me to change weakness and follow up with a breath for immense damage.
Without Hasten World, I simply rotate my two Spiritmasters on Enigma duty while the other Defaults on points until I got Eye'd again.

It is a double edged sword. Bosses get more predictable but also much more aggressive. Zero sum restores their AI pattern to normal for one turn.

I used Hasten World with Stillness. Works pretty alright for a bum rush every couple of rounds. My Dark Knight/Ninja/whoever can always use the initial setup time.
My dragon team was an Enigmamaster with BP Recovery, and whoever else. The Spiritmaster was the only specialized build for the fights, really.

Stillness with Hasten World is OP. I didn't even abuse it, but to know that if you are in a jam you can use stillness, get both BP back the following turn in order to revive and heal and stuff and be good to go when stillness ends is a life saver.
You can also cheese with Stillness but that's no fun. May as well go 4 valkyries and abuse jump.

I was using Hasten World with an Abilinked character early on, and I forget which boss battle it was, but one of them was absolute brutality with that ability on, getting crushed one attempt after another. I turned the difficulty down to normal mode, and it was still virtually impossible to win. I took off that ability, and suddenly breezed through that battle. Right now, I'm only in chapter 3, but I'm using a performer with a maxed abilink to "My Hero" and Mimic x 3, and SLOW WORLD, to some slightly OP effect***. Some bosses seem to be cakewalks with Hasten World, and others seem to go into beast-mode with it.
*** It only costs 2 BP, and it restores up to 12 BP for the rest of the team, so combined, it equates to a perma-slow on all enemies, and a slight speed buff for my team.

Sorry for the delay on this post, but tax deadlines reared their ugly heads. If this excuse is not acceptable please feel free to flip over to Willie Nelson's Blog this time next year as I don't believe he allows himself to be burdened by such trivialities. Now back to our sociological study of sluttiness.
If my dating life, such as it is (was?), has taught me anything it's that the best way to extend the life of most endeavors is to start by setting the bar way down low. If you can survive the Drive Thru at White Castle suddenly appetizers at Applebee's is looking like Foie Gras at the Waldorf.
Fortunately for Diva-dom the pioneers of our previous post (Sunshine, Precious, et.al.) left plenty of room for growth. And between the expansion of cable TV, Vince McMahon's marketing acumen and advancements in breast augmentation by the late 80's the tawdry acorn had begun to sprout into the sleazy oak.
Syndicated TV, over the top characters and the WWF's promotion machine spurred Pro Wrestling into the entertainment mainstream and began attracting a higher class of harlot who had long been trapped in a too good for porn/too trashy for catalog modeling conundrum. We're still a safe distance from the super-model in tights phase, but unlike Hitler's early 1920's "National Socialist Bird Watching Society" this group is moving in a more positive direction.
1. Misty Blue Simmes- How bad was the state of women's wrestling in the 1980's? Consider that in her very first match the reasonably attractive Miss Simmes was handed not one, but two titles as promoters grasped at any straw to save this fast sinking sphere of their psuedo-sport. Prior to Simmes arrival on the scene this area was dominated by two types- the fat and aging as represented by the Fabulous Moolah and Judy Martin or emaciated platinum blondes who appeared to step directly from a Double-Wide to the ring with a slug of Boone's Farm for courage along the way as manifested in Debbie Coombs and Candi Devine. With sort of a Pat Benatar meets Morgan Fairchild look Misty Blue was light years beyond the Moolah group and a step up from Coombs/Devine. Problem was with the competition so lean and regionalized it was hard to find a place to settle and women to do the job often enough to build Simmes into anything more than a "One and Done" distraction in any territory. According to her won/lost record at OWW she wrestled female jobber Kat LeRoux so often it's a miracle she didn't contract Feline Aids and she was further hindered by mic work that could make Marcel Marceau look like Jimmy "Mouth of The South" Hart. After working the ill-advised LPWA for two years without being paid she decided to chuck wrestling for other endeavors which include working as a bodyguard for the Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1991 (sounds like they run a tight ship over there) and developing a stand-up routine with her husband in the 2000's.
Stylist: What can I do for you? Misty Blue: Gimme the Leather Tuscadero look, please.
2. Dark Journey- The Rosa Parks of wrestling. DJ is credited as being the trailblazer for women of color in the business as noted at BlackRasslin.com, a website that by its very name has done more to undermine the African-American experience in pro wrestling than a Tony Atlas interview and the One Man Gang's "Akeem the African Dream" persona combined. She was discovered as a teenage stripper by "Dirty" Dick Slater, who would later be shot in a bar brawl by Wahoo McDaniel and spend a year in jail for stabbing a girlfriend, so the fact that she survived to run a successful boutique in Los Angeles is a success story by itself. Her most notable feud was with Missy Hyatt (see below) where she legit chipped Hyatt's tooth, pulled out clumps of her hair and broke two of Missy's toes and her thumb. In retaliation Hyatt referred to Journey as a "cocaine-addicted bitch" on the weekly Mid-South TV show. And regional promoters wonder how Vince McMahon stole the "family viewing audience" from them in the mid-80's...hmmm.
3. "Sensational" Sherri Martel- If you need an idea how seamy was the underbelly of the wrestling biz in the 1980's think about this: by the time she was 19 Sherri Martel was a married and divorced single mom living off food stamps and stripping in a trailer park in Louisiana. She then took up wrestling which allowed her to travel around the world, be profiled with Randy Savage on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and earn millions of dollars. Yet her mother barred all wrestlers from Sherri's 2007 funeral blaming her daughter's death from alcohol and drug abuse on the world of Sports-Entertainment. And considering the number of wrestlers who have died from similiar circumstances before reaching their 50th birthday it's actually hard to argue with her.
For the record the Sensational One died in June of '07 from an overdose after lying for three depressed months on her mother's couch in Birmingham, Alabama like the protagonist in Fred Exley's A Fan's Notes. But like Chandra Levy her death was mostly forgotten when the 9/11 of the wrestling world, the Chris Benoit murder/suicide, occurred one week later. That was unfortunate for her legacy since there was little time to dwell on what was, by any standard, a fine career highlighted by her role in one of the Top 20 greatest matches of all-time, an AWA blade-fest between the Midnight Rockers (Marty Janetty and Shawn Michaels) and the Martel managed "Playboy" Buddy Rose and "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers in which even Sherri's full length white dress was soaked in blood.
In addition, Martel held pretty much every women's title of any significance during her career, managed several tag team champions and was a "honoree" of the presitigious Cauliflower Alley Club as early as 1994. Not bad for a woman who was kicked out of Fabulous Moolah's Wrestling School for drinking/drugging. A feat that ranks with drummer Steven Adler's bouncing from Guns & Roses under the heading "You May Have A Serious Problem". RIP.
With Ted DiBiase looking like, well, a million bucks...
4. Baby Doll (Nickla Roberts)- When your bio lists you as a "High School State Shot Put Champion" the reader is no doubt bound to conjure up images of meaty East German women with enough chin hair to qualify as the 4th Little Pig. So when Nickla Roberts began her career managing "The Half-Breed Heathrob" Gino Hernandez as Andrea the Giant, an early version of Chyna, it seemed perfectly plausible. When she showed up in Crockett Promotions managing Tully Blanchard as Baby Doll-The Perfect 10 it was...well let's just say I had an easier time believing Buddy Rose weighed 217 pounds or Baron Mikel Scicluna owned half of Malta.
Not that Roberts didn't have a bit of a sexy full-figured thing going on like, say, the woman who hosts The Biggest Loser. It's just that at her best she was no more than a 6/drunken 7 and like a chubby cheeked yet curvaceous Delta Burke in HBO's First & 10 you knew she was a Krispy Kreme or quart of Haagen-Dazs from going all to pieces.
Still you can credit Roberts with at least being true to her heart when in 1986 she married wrestler Sam Houston despite warnings she'd be fired by the Crocketts if she did. Even worse they shipped her to the dying Central States Wrestling region out of St. Louis where she probably got to witness Harley Race win the NWA Title for the 27th or 28th time (who could keep count) before drifting out of the business by the 90's.
According to various online sources she is divorced from Houston, currently works as a security guard at Wal-Mart and is dating "some guy named Timber". Not exactly comparably to the fate of Bo Derek, but for a fleeting moment at least they had one thing in common.
Ah yes, spandex with a belt, it's gotta be the '80s!
5. Missy Hyatt- The self-proclaimed "First Lady of Professional Wrestling"; let's just say Bess Truman or Mamie Eisenhower she's not. She has a degree in Psychology from Marymount College, but it didn't take 4 years of studying Freud and Jung for her to figure out how the male mind functions. With billowing bleach blonde hair, bulbous breast implants and a wardrode of tops and skirts that could double as dinner napkins Hyatt was, from an early age, all about giving the boys what they want.
The first of many wrestlers to get what she was offering was "Hollywood" John Tatum who she began dating in 1985. Next thing you know Missy's star was on the rise courtesy of a lascivious "Mud Pit Match" with Sunshine at WCCWs annual Texas Stadium show. When Tatum's career did not similiarly take off Hyatt moved on to "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert and the Universal Wrestling Federation in 1987.
There she began building a reputation on the kind of Diva work we know so well today- cacophonous quantities of cleavage, erotic entrances and plenty of good old fashion clothes ripping cat-fights. Soon Vince McMahon came calling asking her to replace "Piper's Pit" with a segment called "Missy's Manor", but in an effort that could make JaMarcus Russell and Michael Myers' "Cat in The Hat" avert their eyes Hyatt botched the sure thing and the potential dawning of the Divas Division sadly gave way instead to "Adorable" Adrian Adonis' Flower Shop.
Ultimately Vince would offer her a job as a WWF Dancer which she refused calling the position "beneath her". Considering she'd wrestled in mud, been spanked by Lance Von Erich and dated actor Jason Hervey (The Wonder Years), 9 years her junior, when he was still in high school these were tough words indeed. For her troubles Hyatt was hired by WCW where in 1993 she entered the offices to find a blownup pic of her topless adorning the wall. She protested and in the worst business move since the guy who ran the Credit Default Swap desk at AIG Eric Bischoff fired her. One lawsuit and out of court settlement later Missy moved on to ECW and WCW moved on to bankruptcy proceedings.
In ECW Hyatt was infamously front and center in the Paul Varelans-Taz "Shoot Fight" incident where MMA fighter Varelans agreed to tap out to Taz in exchange for fellatio from the "First Lady". When Varelans did his "job", but Missy did not reciprocate in kind he tore up the dressing room in a fit of anger to which I say, get over yourself. I mean if I had a dollar for every time...
Anyway today Hyatt along with other 40-plus valets/wrestlers like Tammy "Sunny" Sytch and Malia Hosaka appear semi-nude on her website "Wrestling Vixxxxens" whose ridiculously superflous spelling reminds me of those beer-bellied, rec league softball players who think wearing number 69 is somehow clever. Nonetheless she took the genre to a new level and for that horny teenagers everywhere are grateful.
Missy Hyatt: a woman who gave new meaning to the wrestling phrase "jobber".
We know, we know Miss Elizabeth is coming in the next post plus Woman, Chyna and the frankly frightening Luna Vachon. Check back before Easter.

Dried Fish?

Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post
Rep Power:
I have tried drying fish in the past. This is a very dry and normally windy climate. Summer is way too hot (50* C) for curing fish outside. Even cleaning fish is touch and go because the fish are half cooked by the time you've finished cleaning them. But other seasons are fine.
I was told to just pack the fish in coarse salt for 48 hours. It actually worked although I'm going to try the brine next time. Crazy ru that was a very helpful post. Interesting about the sugar theory sasha.
My experiment came out quite dry and very salty. I ate it as a snack with beer (you do need a fair amount of beer on hand because did I mention it was salty..
). That's the way the guy who showed me how to dry the fish ate it, but I do know you can cook with it as well...
Early cruising sailors often dried fish as a way of perserving them. I have a couple of books with pictures of fish curing up in the rigging while passagemaking.
I also smoke fish regularily in the winter. I'd love to get a good recipe for pickled fish if anybody wants to share!
