2 Cities Top Average While 3 Fall Short
The 82.6 percent rate was about a percentage point higher than the state average. Among 11 high schools, Bayside had the lowest rate, 73.2 percent, while Cox was highest, with 91.4 percent. Five of seven high schools had rates above the state average. The city's numbers ranged from 77.8 percent at Oscar Smith to 91.8 percent at Hickory. On-time graduation rates ranged from 67 percent at King's Fork to 80.6 percent at Nansemond River. Suffolk's numbers for low- income students (59.4) and students with disabilities (58.2) were the lowest in South Hampton Roads. Students at Booker T. Washington graduated at the highest rate among the city's five high schools, with 75.5 percent. Lake Taylor was at the low end, with 64.6 percent. The on-time graduation rate puts the city last in the state, but the division holds that the state's data are incorrect. It has filed more than 150 revisions for review. Superintendent David Stuckwisch says he believes Portsmouth's on-time graduation rate is about 70 percent. By Amy Jeter
The Virginian-Pilot
Portsmouth has the lowest on-time graduation rate in the state, with less than 57 percent of the students who entered ninth grade for the first time in 2004 earning a diploma within four years, according to data released Wednesday by the Virginia Department of Education.
Nearly 50 percent of the Portsmouth boys who began high school four years ago did not graduate this year, according to the statistics.
Superintendent David Stuckwisch said his city's numbers were incorrect, however. Schools didn't accurately track students who left, so some who transferred out may have been marked as dropouts, he said.
"The state is dealing with what we gave them," Stuckwisch said. "We didn't give them good figures."
Two other South Hampton Roads cities ranked among the bottom 20 of the 131 Virginia school divisions reporting numbers: Norfolk, with a 71.1 percent graduation rate, and Suffolk, at 71.9 .
Chesapeake (85.8) and Virginia Beach (82.6) exceeded the state's average number of 81.3 percent.
The statistics reflect the most accurate public high school four- year graduation rates ever reported in Virginia, according to Charles Pyle, a spokesman for the state education department. Estimates used in the past, including the formula that led some high schools to be labeled "dropout factories" last year , failed to account for transfers or students who repeated the ninth grade.
For the "on-time" graduation count, officials tracked each public school student by an identification number assigned during the 2004- 05 school year.
Students who earned one of five types of diplomas approved by the Virginia Board of Education in four years were considered on-time graduates. Those receiving a GED or a certification of completion were included in a school's completion rate, but not in its on-time graduation rate.
The rates at South Hampton Roads' 29 high schools ranged from 45.5 percent at Wilson in Portsmouth to 91.8 percent at Hickory in Chesapeake .
Breakdowns by race and gender generally showed that black students, low-income students and boys in South Hampton Roads graduated at rates between 1 and 12 percentage points lower than their city's average.
School divisions tracked the information for the past four years. They were allowed to review the statistics and offer corrections between June and September, Pyle said in an e-mail message.
Six corrections were requested by Portsmouth before Sept. 1. On Sept. 16, Stuckwisch told state officials he believed there were major errors in the data. Portsmouth was allowed an additional two weeks and submitted 156 more changes, according to Pyle.
Most of those corrections involved eliminating students from the statistics who were marked as first-time freshmen but were actually repeating the grade, Stuckwisch said.
He became aware of Portsmouth's low numbers in late summer, he said, and blamed poor record-keeping.
"It has created a serious embarrassment for the school system," Stuckwisch said
The superintendent said he believes Portsmouth's on-time graduation rate is about 70 percent.
The state plans to release data about dropouts early next year. Dropouts are students who left school, are not temporarily absent due to illness or suspension and have neither enrolled in nor completed an approved education program.
The Virginia Board of Education adopted the new graduation rate formula in 2006, in response to the General Assembly's direction to compile more comprehensive information about high school completion. The class of 2008 is the first year for which four-year graduation and completion statistics are available in Virginia.
A National Governors Association task force recommended the formula, and 44 other states have committed to calculating graduation rates in that manner by 2012.
Virginia's on-time graduation rate ranks among the highest tallied by a handful of states that calculate statistics using the same formula. The 2008 number in North Carolina was 69.9 percent.
The results in South Hampton Roads:
The 82.6 percent rate was about a percentage point higher than the state average .
Among 11 high schools, Bayside had the lowest rate, 73.2, while Cox was highest, 91.4 percent.
"Our ultimate goal is 100 percent," said Jared Cotton, assistant superintendent for assessment. Principals will use the data as a baseline to set goals and make improvements, he said. A continued focus will be the ninth-grade year, when many students tend to struggle.
Five of seven high schools had rates above the state average of 81.3 percent: Grassfield, Great Bridge, Hickory, Indian River and Western Branch.
The city's numbers ranged from 77.8 percent at Oscar Smith to 91.8 at Hickory.
The graduation rates provide "an opportunity for us to … strategize where we go from here," said Patricia Powers, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.
Students at Booker T. Washington graduated at the highest rate among the city's five high schools, with 75.5 percent. Lake Taylor was at the low end, with 64.6 percent.
Norfolk's rate was about 10 percentage points lower than the state's.
Administrators said they were not satisfied, though they pointed out that Norfolk's number was higher than school divisions with similar resources and student populations, such as Petersburg and Newport News.
For about five years, the School Board has focused on strengthening high school programs.
"The 71 percent does not represent our fate," said Melinda Boone, the division's chief academic officer. "It represents where we are currently on the journey, not where we're going to stay."
When Wilson Principal Timothy Johnson heard that a state report said 45.5 percent of his school's students graduated on-time this year, he said he'd have to investigate the numbers.
According to the statistics, just 38 percent of the boys who began their freshman year at Wilson in 2004 received diplomas by this year.
The city's other high schools also posted rates under the state average: 68.0 percent at Churchland and 52.6 percent at I.C. Norcom.
Told of the overall number for Portsmouth, 56.7 percent, School Board Chairman James Bridgeford said, "I definitely hope that that percentage is not true."
On-time graduation rates ranged from 67 percent at King's Fork to 80.6 percent at Nansemond River.
"Surprised? No, because the graduation rate reports that have come in earlier … we've been pretty close to what this is," said Kevin Alston, assistant superintendent for administrative services. "Disappointed? Yes."
Suffolk's numbers for low-income students (59.4) and students with disabilities (58.2) were the lowest in those categories among South Hampton Roads school divisions.
This year, the city's high schools began pairing at-risk students with mentors, Alston said. The division also offers after-school remediation and ninth-grade transition programs to ease the move from middle to high school, among other measures.

Witches Closes Early at Prince of Wales, 27 Oct
Editorial Staff • West End • 10 Oct 2001
Even before the terrorist attacks in America, there were rumours that the show was in trouble. An article over the summer in the Evening Standard predicted that Witches, Notre Dame de Paris and The Beautiful Game were all on the verge of closure. Of those three, Witches is the last left standing. The Beautiful Game withdrew from the Cambridge Theatre on 1 September while Notre Dame bowed out of the Dominion this past weekend. Other major West End productions which have recently posted closing notices are Peggy Sue Got Married, Closer to Heaven and Feelgood.
The Witches of Eastwick - based on the John Updike novel and the 1987 Hollywood film about three bored New England witches who conjure up a lover - originally opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in July 2000. After transferring to the smaller Prince of Wales, the show received a major revamp which included the removal of the number "Who's the Man" and the addition of new lyrics for another song, "Loose Ends".
A revamped cast - led by Clarke Peters and his trio of girlfriends Josefina Gabrielle and Rebecca Thornhill and Olivier Award nominee Joanna Riding (who stayed on from the original cast) - officially re-opened the show on 17 July 2001 to a positive round of new reviews. At the time, Cameron Mackintosh acknowledged the foot and mouth-fuelled summer downturn in the West End and declared his intention to buck the trend of musical closures with the new-look Witches.
Commenting on today's closure, Mackintosh said, "The plain fact is this that this year has not been good for new musicals. The whole industry has suffered from a dramatic decline in the tourist sector through much of this spring and summer, but I had hoped that the traditional October upswing in business would have enabled us to remain open into the New Year. However, the recent tragic events in America, with all their consequences, have served to make things even worse and so, reluctantly, I have had to take the decision to close the production in London."
There are plans for other Witches productions, including an American tour prior to a Broadway opening late next year. Other productions are being prepared in Australia, Norway, Hungary and Japan.
The musical has book and lyrics by John Dempsey and Dana Rowe. It is directed by Eric Schaeffer, designed by Bob Crowley and choreographed by Bob Avian and Stephen Mear with orchestrations by William D Brohn, musical supervision by David Caddick, sound design by Andrew Bruce and lighting design by Howard Harrison.
The next production scheduled for the Prince of Wales Theatre has not yet been announced but there is speculation that it might be the Broadway hit musical, The Full Monty, based on the popular film but transplanted to an American setting.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Rougned Odor had a leadoff single in the seventh and scored the tiebreaking run with the help of two errors by Baltimore Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy as the Texas Rangers avoided a three-game sweep with an 8-6 win Thursday night.
The Rangers blew an early 5-0 lead, but their three-run seventh started when No. 9 batter Odor had an infield single off reliever Brian Matusz (2-2) and moved up on throwing error by Hardy.
Elvis Andrus to make it 6-5. Alex Rios and Chris Jimenez then added consecutive RBI singles off Preston Guilmet, the fifth Baltimore pitcher.
Hardy, an All-Star for the second time last season, also had a throwing error in the fourth for the first three-error game in his career. In 1,152 games at shortstop since 2005 before Thursday, he had only one multi-error game — seven years ago when he had two in a game for Milwaukee.
Adam Jones had three RBIs for the Orioles, including his two-run double in the fifth and his homer leading off the eighth. Nick Markakis also homered for Baltimore, a two-run shot in the third.
Robbie Ross (2-4) struck out two in two scoreless innings before Tanner Scheppers, another reliever who started this season in the Texas starting rotation, gave up the homer to Jones. Joakim Soria worked the ninth for his 12th save in 13 chances.
Scheppers, the opening day starter who went 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA in four starts before going on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation, was recalled from an injury rehab assignment earlier Thursday.
Baltimore starter Chris Tillman faced only 11 batters, and was gone without recording an out in the second inning. Nine of those batters reached, including all five in the second.
Tillman pitched in place of Miguel Gonzalez, the right-hander who was scratched a day before his scheduled start because of soreness in his side.
After Shin-Soo Choo's leadoff walk and a double by Andrus in the first, both scored on Mitch Moreland's slicing single to left.
Leonys Martin led off the Texas second with a single before Michael Choice's two-run homer to left. After Odor and Choo walked, Andrus had an RBI single that made it 5-0 and chased Tillman.
After Jones doubled in the fifth off Texas starter Colby Lewis, he scored on a single by Chris Davis that tied it 5-all.
NOTES: Texas had lost seven in a row against Baltimore. ... The Orioles finished 5-5 on a 10-game road trip. They play their next 10 games, and 20 of 26, at home. ... Texas picked right-hander Luis Ortiz from Sanger High School in California with the 30th overall pick in the draft. That was the Rangers' compensation pick for the Orioles signing Nelson Cruz, who was 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in the series finale.
Rangers blow 5-0 lead, rally to drop Orioes

Until this month, coffee lovers with a hankering for a soy latte were welcome to bring their loaded weapons into Starbucks Starbucks outlets nationwide.
That is, until Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz wrote an open letter to Americans making a "respectful request" that java junkies leave their guns at home.
Schultz didn't ban guns from the coffee giant's stores, but he made it clear they're not welcome, state-by-state "open carry" laws notwithstanding.
Now, with one major victory under their belts, gun control advocates are setting their sights on another large, publicly traded chain.
"We're moving on from Starbucks to Staples Staples," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a group of 110,000 grassroots activists formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook school massacre in Newtown, Conn.
"Last month there was an accidental shooting at a Staples in North Carolina, and there have been other incidents of gun violence inside stores," said Watts, who lobbied Starbucks and Schultz prior to their policy change.
"Staples allows individual stores to prohibit guns, but there is no explicit corporate policy banning firearms."
Moms Demand Action is putting pressure on Staples to enact a formal, nationwide no-guns rule in its 1,500-plus U.S. stores.
Watts sent a letter to Staples CEO Ronald Sargent in late September asking that the office supply chain act as a leader in prohibiting guns on its premises:
"More than 30 states allow citizens to legally buy and carry loaded weapons with no screening or training," Watts wrote. "There is no guarantee that even a well-meaning individual knows how to properly carry and handle a gun."
Watts noted that Staples is her group's next target, but by no means its last.
"Obviously there are other companies we continue to target for pressure campaigns, including Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods and Cabela's," she said. "But they sell assault weapons. Companies like Staples should know better than to allow loaded guns inside their stores."
Forbes reached out to Staples for comment and will update this post with any response. The company drew criticism from Second Amendment activists in June after rejecting a gun store's entry into a small business contest. Staples apologized and said it would change its rules for future competitions.

Locking the tiller is pretty simple to do. A tiller comb would work. You could also use two lines—one from each side of the cockpit.

Then I had my son jump in the shallow water and pull the boat in. My boat is only a 15 footer.
It seems hard to drop the sails on the fly since there seems to be so much going on sometimes while sailing. Sometimes I wish I could lock the tiller so I could free up another hand for a second.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Loved it.
My magnet was a perfect size. I got many compliments on it.
came out exactly like I hoped
Card turned out exactly how I personalised it! I just hope the mini magnet save the dates fit in it.
Very Nice Quality!
These magnet holders really compliment the magnets well. They match perfectly! I love that I was able to write a personalized message on the back of them as well! The paper quality is very nice. I will definitely be ordering the matching invitations soon. I would without a doubt recommend the Save the Dates and the matching holders. Magnetstreet is a great company to do business with!
These added a great touch to the magnet. Plus, I was able to put more information on the back!
This is far and above the quality we expected from an online company. The website made it easy to match the magnet with a carrier card. The material is beautiful, substantial and has the look of being printed on linen. The envelopes are lovely with the foil lining and the whole set is very expressive and cost is less than a discount greeting card. This company was excellent for confirming the order, communicating during the process and delivered with a tracking number. The box arrived before our list was complete. Thank you so much.

Misinformation plagues adult day programs
Life can be complicated for low-income, ailing elderly or disabled adults in California. Add in misinformation from doctors and state officials about how to get health care services and it gets even tougher.
That appears to have happened for some of the thousands of medically fragile seniors who qualify to attend Medi-Cal-funded adult day health programs, but have failed to properly sign up to be able to continue attending the centers that provide a safe place to spend the day and receive medical and support services.
More Information
To learn more about Medi-Cal managed plans and Community-Based Adult Services -
California Association for Adult Day Services: caads.org
Health Care Options: healthcareoptions.dhcs.ca.gov
"We have an ongoing concern whether people are making an informed decision about continuing to receive services," said Jane Ogle, deputy director for health care delivery systems in the state Department of Health Care Services.
The complications began earlier this year, when the state moved to save money by replacing the Adult Day Health Center program with a new system called Community-Based Adult Services, or CBAS. The new system provides the same network of centers offering the same services, but qualifying participants must join a Medi-Cal managed care plan if they live in one of 30 counties where they are available — and San Diego County is one of them.
A July 1 deadline to sign up for a Medi-Cal managed care plan has been extended to Oct. 1 because of problems setting up the new system.
Most of the 28,000 eligible participants in the program are seniors and receive both Medicare, which covers medical care, and Medi-Cal, which pays for services not covered by Medicare such as the adult day centers.
But 5,000 eligible participants so far have decided not to sign up for managed care, but to stay with traditional Medi-Cal — which means they won't be able to continue attending an adult day center, Ogle said.
"The primary reason they give is that their physician told them that was the right thing to do," Ogle said. Many doctors have incorrectly told patients they would have to change doctors if they signed up for a Medi-Cal managed care plan, she said.
So, many patients may have decided that in order to stay with their current primary care physician, they would forego signing up for Medi-Cal managed care and the adult day services it covers.
"That is not a choice that anyone has to make," Ogle said. "You can see your Medicare doctor and stay in CBAS through Medi-Cal managed care."
Physicians aren't the only ones who giving out wrong information, said Lydia Missaelides, executive director of the California Association for Adult Day Services.
"There's been an amazing amount of confusion because there hasn't been clear communication from the state," Missaelides said.
That includes wrong information being given out by Maximus, a company the state pays to operate a hotline and produce materials for the Medi-Cal managed care program, she said.
Ogle said she just became aware of that problem on Tuesday and would be getting the problem corrected. Ogul also held a conference call with 120 physicians on Tuesday evening to explain the program, and expects to hold several more similar phone sessions.

Slim (of 112) ft. Yung Joc - So Fly
Artist: Slim (of 112)
Featuring: Yung Joc
Producer: Oddz.N.Endz
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 52 votes )
The art of being 'fly' and 'fresh' has always been a topic of conversation in hip-hop, but more recently it has been found in numerous R&B jams as well. Continuing the crossover is 112's Slim, who brags about being So Fly when it comes to fashion, cars, accessories, and everything that each of them bring (ladies). Joining in the R&B stuntin' is fellow ATLien (and an artist on 112's original label, Bad Boy), Yung Joc, who is under the assumption that his swagger can make a woman's body "beatbox." While some listeners might find the Oddz.N.Endz beat a bit too soft for the subject matter, its overall tone screams summertime and the So Fly kick off for Slim's forthcoming debut.

Attention Coumadin Users: Keep Eating Your Favorite Foods
Dr. Gourmet releases book and new iPhone apps that address questions and provide meal plans for anyone prescribed anticoagulant medication
New Orleans, LA (PRWEB) April 8, 2011
A prescription for Coumadin brings relief, anticoagulation and tremendous uncertainty. However, Coumadin users now have an additional resource to productively and enjoyably carry on with their lives while taking the prescription medication. Dr. Tim Harlan, AKA Dr. Gourmet, board-certified internist and Medical Director at Tulane University School of Medicine, has released a new book, The Dr. Gourmet Diet for Coumadin Users, and two new iPhone Apps, vitKdiet and vitKfood, all of which take into special consideration the interactions and side effects of taking the anticoagulant drug.
In addition to other medications, foods that contain higher amounts of Vitamin K reduce the effectiveness of Coumadin. Most physicians recommend limiting foods that contain very high or moderate amounts of Vitamin K. The Dr. Gourmet Diet for Coumadin Users provides Ideal Body Weight Tables to identify your target weight, as well as an estimated caloric intake needed to reach that ideal weight; Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack Guidelines that detail meal options to suit any craving; Weekly Meal plans with complete grocery shopping lists; and Recipe Tags instantly identify serving sizes, meal time (breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack) and how much time is needed to prepare.
The corresponding Apps, vitKfood and vitKdiet, provide even more Coumadin-friendly recipes, full shopping lists, information about managing your diet and lists of Vitamin K content in over 700 of the most common foods.
"A prescription for Coumadin doesn't signify the end of enjoyable, mouth-watering meals," says Dr. Tim Harlan, aka Dr. Gourmet. "The Dr. Gourmet Diet for Coumadin Users and app provide strategies, recommendations and recipes to help Coumadin users strike a balance between satisfying their culinary cravings and controlling the possible adverse side effects."
The Dr. Gourmet Diet for Coumadin Users is available for download at DrGourmet.com for $19.95 and eBook for $4.95. VitKdiet and vitKfood are available for download on iPad, iPhone and iPod touch in the iTunes App Store for $9.99 and $4.99, respectively.
For more information about Dr. Gourmet, Dr. Tim Harlan, The Dr. Gourmet Diet for Coumadin Users and the Apps, please visit http://www.drgourmet.com, http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vitkdiet/id429167868?mt=8&ls=1, or http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vitkfoods/id429168152?mt=8&ls=1.

Edit: Update 23/10 2013
We are now halfway to our goal! That means that all of last year is now payed for! Any new donations from now on will go towards paying for the next year's expenses!
I would like to personally thank Bridelyn for a large donation. I would also like to thank Enla and the anonymous donors for their generous help!
Because of your generous donations we have a new gift for you all. This time it is from Lis0 who generously donated a stack of collages for us sims 3 players. Grab them at the donation page. They are free for all of the community.
EDIT: Update 6/10 2013
We are now at 250 $ so thank you guys! Lets see if we can't reach 350 $ within the next 14 days – that will mean that we have raised enough money to cover all of 2012/13 costs! Any money we raise after that will go towards the next year's costs so we don't have to do this again any time soon. Once we reach the next goal we will have a gift which is not a house build by me, but something else!
That also means that I have more gifts for the community for you to say thank you for being awesome and helping us reach our goals!
Gift for reaching our second goal – 200 $
Get the gifts at the donation page
Original post 18/9 2013
For those who might have had problems donating on Sunday due to the country setting of the first donation form I set up. It is fixed, so if you wanted to donate and couldn't please try again.
As of right now we have raised 150 $ out of the 700 $ we are aiming for. Thank you to those who have donated already. When you donate, make sure to put your forum name in the note area or PM me your name on the forum. I would love to thank you probably on the forum.
Become a backer!
In the upcoming issues all donators will have their names listed as LivingSims backers. We really appreciate this!
Drive Gifts
I would like to offer a little bit of incentive for us to reach the goal. For each 100 $ we raise I would like to offer all of the community a gift of a house build by me or another staffer. Let me know in the comments if that should be decorated or not please. Those who donate will get to wish for a style/type of house if they donate more than 3 $ – put your wish in the note area or send me a PM on the forum.
If we do not reach the goal…
If we do not reach our goal of 700 $ within a month, we might have to move our forum and site to a less expensive server and we all know that that will result in more downtime and general annoying crap. So please if you can spare a few bugs, send them our way!
Gift for reaching our first goal – 100 $
Get the gifts at the donation page
Dear LivingSims Community. It has been two years since we last had a donation drive. In that time I have footed the bill for running the site. At this time I can not afford it on my own. I hope that our generous community will help cover the expenses for running the site and the magazine. I have to ask you dear community to please help us economically. Any amount will help and if you can not help we understand that completely!
Our expenses are: Domain name fee, 1 dropbox pro-account and our servers at mediatemple.net. That amounts to about 350 $ a year. We want to cover the coming year and last year's expenses in this drive, so that amounts to 700 $ which is our goal for this donation drive.
We will of course not come asking for donations again until we have we have used all of the money you donate which should not be until a year or two has passed. The donation link will be up until we reach the amount we need and then we will remove it. A big thank you to all who donate.
We sincerely hope you will help. Any amount would be appreciated!
Macthekat, Editor in Chief
We have decided that we want to remove the "You may only enter a challenge 3 times rule" from all current and future challenges. We do this so that you can keep doing a challenge you enjoy without having to wait for it to get a second incarnation. But we also want to encourage you to try out different challenges and keep challenging your self!
Go wild and I will see you in the challenges!

Compare Prices on River Beatrice Europe - River Cruise Cruises
Danube Adventure
After exploring Vienna and Budapest on our own, we boarded the River Beatrice on Saturday, July 31st. We were warmly greeted by the assistant captain (he helped with our bags!) and the concierge, upon arrival. We picked this ship because it was newer (2009) and we were quite happy with the result.
What we liked about the ship:
- Friendly staff.
- Great Cruise Director, Gionji.
- Great concierge, Tania.
- Good food, especially breakfast & lunch.
- Excellent guided tours.
- Nice ports of call.
What we found lacking:
- No wine or beer for lunch.
- Small portions for dinner.
- No bottle water for guided tours.
- No snacks (like nuts for evenings) other than cookies.
- Number of and quality of bikes.
Our impression of river-cruising in general:
- Passengers not as old as we thought.
- Interesting people
- Great way to see Europe. More
- Need more things to do at night.
- Longer stay at major ports like Vienna.
Vienna was our favourite city, and we're glad that we spend an extra three days there. High lights were our trip to the wine district and the evning concert with Uniworld.
Salzburg was also nice but very crowded. Great shopping.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay at the River Beatrice and may return to river cruising if the itinerary is right. Less

Historical Traveler Reviews Golden Lantern Inn Red Wing
Quiet, enjoyable and restful
We spent one night in this beautiful getaway - and wish it could have been more. The room was beautiful and our hosts thought of every detail to make us comfortable. Breakfast was a treat - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The gardens are magnificent. We definitely will be going back for another stay.
Loved the Golden Lantern!
It is a lovely, spacious and large home. Felt like a cross between a B & B and a luxury hotel. We really enjoyed the privacy offered by the unusally large space. The back courtyard was beautifully landscaped and the outdoor fireplace was a great finish to our evening. The breakfast was excellent. Also loved the jaccuzi bath in our bathroom! The owners are very friendly, helpful, hospitable and professional. We also took advantage of the airplane ride which was fantastic. Dinner at the local restaurant was good, though next time I might just opt to buy dinner seperate from the package deal ( it was a good deal, but was way more food than we would have normally ordered, for some that may be just what you're looking for). Overall excellent experience.
It is a great Getaway!!!
Our employees gave us a two day vacation away from them as a Christmas present (I didn't want to go). They saw it on the internet and decided it was where we had to go. They could not have picked a better bed and breakfast for our getaway time (I really enjoyed myself). This Inn is in the great little town of Red Wing MN. The owners of the Red Wing Shoe Co. had it built for them long ago and it is still a beautiful home with different suites and common spaces that are wonderfully decorated and very comfortable to enjoy, with patios and gardens availble outside! We were able to use the nice hot tub built into the room, called the Hide Away and enjoy spending our time relaxing together. The breakfasts were so good that I asked for the recipes! The first day we ate on the patio and the next day in our room, the staff was very friendly and made our meal times fun. I think we will return and try one of their Packages that include things to do in the community and the room someday. This Inn could be used for many occations, business or personal and I am glad we took the time to stay there. The owners were so accomidating they even worked with us on our reservation to fit it into the schedule. Please do yourself a favor and make this Golden Latern Inn you next getaway!
What a special place!
My husband and I have traveled around the world and stayed in many beautiful B & Bs, but there are few that can compare to this one. Located in the (unlikely) town of Red Wing, MInnesota, this inn is truly a special place. There was no detail left unattended do, and the owners have managed to preserve all the beauty and charm of the original home while still making sure that every modern convenience is there. A plate of chocolate chip cookies, still warm, greeted us upon our arrival, and innkeepers Pat and Gary were as gracious could be. Even though we didn't particularly find Red Wing to be a wonderful destination (we were actually there for a family event), it is worth the trip just to stay at the Golden Lantern.
Consistently Fantastic!
We love this place and highly recommend it to our friends. We like to get away to Redwing and have stayed at various other B&B's and hotels, this is our fave.
Pat and Gary really have taken the Goldern Latern and made it a place of relaxation, romance and mostly, comfort. We always feel like we are warmly welcomed guests coming to visit friends, not customers.
The service is great, they are very accommodating, food consistently excellent (and even delivered to your room) . They also are very helpful and offer many options for restaurants and activities in the area. The only time we ever had a problem was once one of the rooms was too cold and they fixed it right away.
This huge victorian house is gorgeous, with each room unique and most with jaccuzis. They have a great back yard and fire pit to hang out at in the evening.
We particularly like the hide-a-way suite and Meg's room. BTW, this isn't a paid promotion, just someone who's had great service there for several years. We like it so much we're having our wedding there!
Gave Our Wedding A Mother's Loving Touch
Neither my husband nor I are Spring Chickens anymore, so we decided on a small, but classy wedding. It was my Husband, Mike's idea to go back to a Bed & Breakfast we had stayed at one Valentine's day a couple years back. It is a beautiful and charming house, and both of the Proprietors, Pat & Gary were extremely accomodating to us right from the start. We just happened to 'pop in' the first time when they were both in the middle of setting up for a very prominent wedding to be that same day, and they both took the time to show us around and answer questions.
From that day on, we were at least semi-regulars in Pat and Gary';s lives in preparation for our wedding which was nearly nine months away. I had overheard my Beloved, verbally voicing his financial worries about "how much it was all going to cost in the end", and called Pat to voice my concern. With no fuss whatsoever, she agreed to let me make random payments to overall reduce some of the financial stress my Husband would be feeling after the wedding. I sent her payments whenever I could, and she dillegently kept track of the totals paid.
You would think my Fiance' and I were both school kids again since we both had nervous butterflies; we went over things time and time again to make certain things would turn out 'just right.' We measured and re-measured dining and living rooms of the Golden Lantern Inn for the actual ceremony and dinner, as well as dropped supplies off a couple of times before the event.
On the day of our Wedding, Pat made certain we had everything we needed: My Husband was so nervous he had left his new shirt untouched in its package, hence the iron and ironing board! I told Pat I was nervous right before the ceremony and she gave me a HUGE hug and said, "You will do just fine!" Well, Pat was right and everything was PERFECT. She and her husband, Grandson and Housekeeper did not hesitate to assist whenever we needed anything.
We still remain in touch with them. In fact, Pat made such an impact on me, when we left for our Honeymoon and the couple in a Bed & Breakfast were extremely rude and unpleasant to us, I called Pat, "told on the rude people", and felt much, much better. Thank you again to Gary, Pat, and their extended family for their Professionalism with a Personal touch! You helped make our Wedding one of the Happiest & Most Pleasant in our lives!

Cozy, Quaint & Quiet
This BnB is top-notch! You get fresh baked chocolate chip cookies every afternoon, free pop & bottled water, free trail mix and s'mores by the outdoor stone patio fireplace at 9:00 p.m every night. There is plenty of comfortable seating by the fire for all 10 guests. We stayed in Helen's Room that had a balcony which made you feel as if you were in the middle of the country because all you could see were trees. (It is a two block walk to downtown Red Wing.) The sheets and towels are high quality. The only minor drawback to Helen's room was the smallish bed (not a queen as listed). If you are used to a large bed - maybe opt for another room. It was a full house the three nights we were there and we never heard a sound! We even had honeymooners sleeping(?) above us and we never heard a footstep. I am a light sleeper, so that was amazing! The breakfasts were so filling and delicious that you did not need a lunch. The grounds are beautiful as is the rest of the house. There is so much to do in Red Wing...golfing, hiking, canoeing, biking on the Cannon Valley Trail (beautiful...saw foxes and wild turkeys) and walking around historic Red Wing looking at the beautiful architecture of the churches and houses. There are beautiful cliffs also where we saw a lot of bald eagles flying around, especially when we played golf at Mississippi National! I highly recommend playing at MS Nat'l. The golf at Mt. Frontenac was average at best. Some of the fairways were very brown from this summer's drought and there were a lot of trees down (turns out they had 80 mph winds one week before we arrived.) You have to drive to Miesville to eat at Wiederholt's Supper Club..very delicious ribs and you have to eat at Liberty's & Oar D'oeuvre in downtown Red Wing. If you like seafood, order the "Out to Sea" appetizer at Oar D'oeuvre. If you like burgers, I had the best mushroom swiss burger ever at Liberty's. We will definitely return to Red Wing and the Golden Lantern Inn. Innkeepers Pat and Gary were very nice. They were friendly/helpful while still giving guests their space.
From the moment I walked in the door, I could tell I'd have a special experience. The home has a warmth few others match. The service was outstanding, and the food amazing. I highly recommend the Golden Lantern.
Wonderful stay!
I have stayed at the Golden Lantern 3 times. It gets better every time. The owners take great care to treat the guests well and are not intrusive. The rooms are spotless and elegant, most with fireplaces. A little slice of heaven in a charming Minnesota town.
We had such a wonderful experience at Golden Lantern. Fresh cookies when we arrived, they made our dinner reservations for us, smors by the fire when we returned, and breakfast was delicious! The bed was very comfortable, and coffee at our door when we woke up started the day. I would suggest staying here to anyone. We plan to return for our anniversary every year!

Regarding your article on June 9, "Tap costs city": As a Weinel Hills area resident I'm totally in favor of Caseyville Township, capping the tap-in fee at about $50 as opposed to the current $2,500. I'm hopeful that some means of doing so can be found that won't prevent Caseyville Township from being able to meet its EPA loan repayment obligations, since the loan was to be repaid through the tap-in fees.
Will Caseyville Township have to raise its monthly system usage fees to make up the difference? Will Caseyville Township have to ram the remaining connections through before SB 3507 takes effect and thereby potentially bankrupt some low-income residents? The Jan. 1 effective date for SB 3507 seems to be in question as the senator's staff reports that they really don't know what the effective date will be.
The Caseyville Township sewer system has already begun sending bills to new users in Weinel Hills, including those residents who have not connected or even purchased permits yet. When asked how they can bill residents who are not and who have never been connected, they respond with, "We have to do that."
Further, the Illinois EPA has long made it a practice to base loan repayments on tap-in fees and have many existing contracts to that effect.
I have to wonder how this bill will impact those loan contracts and the Illinois EPA.

Over the first four years of Look AHEAD, participants in both groups showed positive changes in their health. On average, across all four years, participants in the intensive lifestyle group lost significantly more weight than participants in the support and education group. On average, members of the lifestyle group lost 6.2 percent of their initial body weight, and members of the support and education group lost 0.9 percent of their initial body weight. The intensive intervention group also experienced greater improvements in fitness, diabetes control, blood pressure, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. The diabetes support group showed larger reductions in LDL (bad) cholesterol, a change associated with the increased use of cholesterol-lowering medications. The study results do not break down results by demographic groups such as gender, age, race or ethnicity.
"This important study shows that lifestyle changes have long-term favorable effects on diabetes control and cardiovascular disease risk factors in overweight or obese individuals with type 2 diabetes," said Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the primary sponsor of the study.
"It is important to note that participants in the intensive lifestyle group and the diabetes education and support group have had positive changes in their weight and their cardiovascular risk factors over the four years," said study chair Rena Wing, Ph.D., of the Miriam Hospital/the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, R.I.

Three decades have passed since the debut of Milton Bradley's Microvision - the first handheld gaming console. We look back and chart the highs and lows of handheld video consoles.
Nokia N-Gage (2003) and Tiger Telematics Gizmondo (2005)
These two unfortunate (but unrelated) consoles have one thing in common. They were impressive flops.
The N-Gage combined a mobile phone and a handheld video game console in a single device that performed neither function very well.
The Gizmondo was an utter train wreck, complete with a terrible game library and an embarrassing marketing effort.
Nintendo DS (2004)
To follow up the multimillion-selling Game Boy Advance, Nintendo introduced a device with two screens, one of them touch-sensitive.
Many skeptics predicted that the extra screen would prove superfluous and that the new device, theNintendo DS, would flop.
But Nintendo has had the last laugh, moving 113.48 million Nintendo DS units worldwide to date.
Nintendo replaced its original, bulky DS model with the svelte and compact DS Lite in 2006, and it remains a major breadwinner for Nintendo.

A new research study has concluded that the longer Americans sit, the sooner they die.
The study published by Peter T Katzmarzyk1 and I-Min Lee in BMJ Open examined the impact of sitting and watching TV on life expectancy in the U.S.
And the findings are scary.
Sitting Kills
The authors conclude that life expectancy in the USA would be two years higher if adults reduced their time spent sitting to less than three hours a day.
There's a direct impact between TV viewing and life expectancy too – Americans' life expectancy would increase by 1.38 years higher if they cut TV television viewing to less than two hours a day.
Sitting or TV watching are sedentary activities that have been linked to type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease mortality and all-cause mortality.
The authors caution that, "Life expectancy is a population statistic and it does not apply to individuals" but conclude that "extended sitting time and television viewing may have the potential to reduce life expectancy in the USA."
Life expectancy in the U.S. is 78.2 years, lower than Cuba, Chile and Puerto Rico.
On the life expectancy list prepared by the United Nations, the U.S. ranks 38th.
How distressing.
I suspect Americans watch more television and are glued to their iPads, Xboxes, PlayStations, iPods and PCs far more than people in other nations.
Bottom line, TV shows Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol and the video game consoles that I abhor are not only silly and useless but fatal too, ultimately.
I won't be surprised if the lower life expectancy because of TV viewing and sitting results show a similar pattern in other countries too.
With the explosion in TV shows, the number of soaps and the hours spent in front of the TV in India, would it be fair then to conclude that Ekta Kapoor, the force behind Balaji Telefilms, is single-handedly reducing the lifespan of Indians? 😉

I believe no one is gonna care abt what this study says.
I myself find it a bit funny..!!
Btw, in this case, India should have the lowest life expectancy of all 😛 ..
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Wonder what the relationship between watching Ajith's movies and life expectancy is? 😉
Endured a double dose – Mr & Mrs. Ajith – with Amarkalam two days back.
Still reeling from the deadly assault.. God, what an awful, hideous ending.
Between the two Ajiths my priceless life is cut short by at least a decade!
@ SI – "Endured a double dose – Mr & Mrs. Ajith – with Amarkalam two days back.
Still reeling from the deadly assault.. God, what an awful, hideous ending."
Back in those days when I didn't have my sights beyond Kollywood, I considered Amarkalam a decent movie with a couple of nice songs.
But since then, I've watched so many fine Hollywood movies (after I became an avid reader of the Incredible SI blog).
If I were to watch Amarkkalam now (which I probably will not), I will most certainly have a different opinion.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Except for that one song on the hill, Amarkalam is the typical Ajith vomit that his fans love to lap up and can't get enough of.
Do you mean the song "Satham illaadha.." sung by SPB?
I also like two other songs.. "Unnoda vaazhadha vaazhvu.." and "Meghangal ennai thottu"…!!
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Yes, I was referring to Satham Illatha….
Listening to it as I type.
Nice, even after all these years since the movie's release.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
A rare Tamil film song with powerful lyrics.
Off topic
Is SI gonna watch Billa 2?
SearchIndia,com Responds:
SI is unlikely to but my Sweetie-pie will see it & review it.
SI is in extremis!
"SI is in extremis!"
Did watching Amarkalam bring u closer?
SearchIndia.com Responds:
No, because I've seen and survived Varalaru and Aalwar.
Watched Maatran's teaser?
Plain rubbish.
And you know what? I guess copycat Anand strikes again.. but we'll know for sure only after the movie releases
SearchIndia.com Responds:
If this is the Maatran teaser you're referring to, you f*cking wasted my time.
Nothing in it!
But 10% of Tamil Nadu must have wetted their jetties with oohs and aahs over this junk.
As I've said countless times, stupid f*cks (audience) deserve the stupid movies.
"If this is the Maatran teaser you're referring to, you f*cking wasted my time"
Ha ha. I told you it's plain rubbish 😛
Why did you even bother watching it?
"But 10% of Tamil Nadu must have wetted their jetties with oohs and aahs over this junk."
Surprisingly, a lot of viewers share the same opinion as you and I. But as always, there are some stupid f*cks raving about this junk.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Billa 2 is releasing in the U.S. today. And No, I'm not watching it.
Naveen has kindly accepted the pain of enduring the worthless actor's torture.
So (barring any last-minute hiccups) SearchIndia.com should have the Billa 2 review later tonight, i.e. Thursday late night/Friday early morning (U.S. Eastern Time).
Here are reviews of a few Ajith Movies from the SI Blog archives:

In multiplexes like Sathyam here, reservations open on Wednesday for the Friday releases.. I checked Sathyam cinemas website at 6 am and know what? Tickets already sold out for the first three days..!
Reflects the hype that the movie has generated.. I booked for Monday and I've made it a point not to read any reviews before I watch the movie. Better to see for myself how the movie is.
SearchIndia.com Responds:
Like the crucified Jesus on the Cross, it's the goodness in his heart that led Naveen to accept the pain and heavy burden on behalf of all of us. 😉
going through the comments section of your Billa review.
Can't stop laughing at the comments made by Ajith fans and old SI's replies to them.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
