Our next single is really pop-art. I wrote it with that intention. Not only is the number pop-art, the lyrics are young and rebellious. It's anti-middle-age, anti boss-class and anti young marrieds.

Justin Long Praises Critic Who Slammed Him
The 'Going the Distance' star took Movieline critic Michelle Orange's cutting review of the film - and Long personally - in stride, reciting her tirade on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' and penning a witty, good-natured response to her criticisms. Long, who is described in Orange's review as "a milky, affectless mook with half-formed features and a first day of kindergarten haircut," told Fallon that the writer's insults were "so bad that it set the bar, I think, for insults for me."
As reported by NY Mag, Long's response made it clear that he had no hard feelings toward Orange, whose writing he called "thoughtful and insightful."
Orange also added that the actor was "[punching] several classes above his weight" looks-wise with girlfriend Drew Barrymore, but he was fine and responded sweetly by writing, "I absolutely agree with you too, I'd be hard-pressed to hold a candle to even a fraction of Drew's beauty - in my humble opinion, she's the most beautiful girl in the world."
Long, who insisted that his enjoyment of Orange's piece was in no way sarcastic, showed off his leading man charm and extended the olive branch to the writer, saying, "Keep up the good work and I'll try to pick better projects (though I did love filming that one) but short of some reconstructive surgery, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about my mug (blame god and/or my parents on that one). Take care and hopefully one day our paths will cross so I can compliment you in person ."

Actually, I can't hate on him for that response, but he is a bad actor.
He should just be happy being "Mac" and banging Drew.

I love Justin Long...I have always enjoyed his movies and he seems like a really nice person. Critics are cruel and should look into a mirror once in a while to actually see how ugly that are on the outside as well as the inside. Justin has always been a great actor. Keep up the good work Justin, and you showed who was the better person with your responses to that HACK.
- Tuesday 02 NovemberBy JC
Dear Mr. Long,
There are many places in the Bible that say the wise listen to those who correct/instruct them. The foolish listen to those that flatter them.
Proverbs 9:7 " He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot".
Your choice seems to imply you know this already.

Recording and Production News
Peregrine Andrews Uses Orpheus To Record David Tennant For The BBCCambridge, UK: Long-time SADiE user Peregrine Andrews has now added a Prism Sound Orpheus FireWire interface to his equipment list to help tackle recording, digital to analogue conversion and monitoring with 5.1 capabilities.
Renowned for his high-end radio and TV mixing work for clients such as the BBC, Mentorn, Wall to Wall and Falling Tree Productions, Peregrine Andrews operates mainly from his own private studio, Moving Air, which is based in west London.
"I spend about half my time mixing, and occasionally producing, radio (documentaries and drama), and the other half mixing TV (documentaries and comedy)... and the odd film," he says.
"Recently, on the new series of the BBC sitcom Twenty Twelve, I used the Orpheus to record David Tennant's voiceover. I also used it for all the ADR on the new BBC Dickens-style comedy Bleak Old Shop of Stuff. As a straight wire device, I don't really expect the Orpheus to have a 'sound', but the voice recordings I've done where I've plugged the mic straight in have sounded excellent with very little EQ added in the mix."
The Moving Air studio is equipped with SADiE, Nuendo, PMC monitoring and a Smart AV Tango control surface. His reason for buying the unit was to access a high grade DA/AD converter and monitoring controller so that he could replace the old Yamaha O1V desk that had previously been performing that function.
"I mix in the box so I don't need any kind of console in the room," he says. "The Orpheus is three things in one box - Preamp, AD/DA and monitoring controller. Prism Sound loaned me a unit and it worked well, sounded good and looked great, so I decided to buy it. I like its precise volume control of multiple outputs and its ability to derive an independent headphone mix. It's a single box solution and removes any requirement for a separate soundcard, preamp/mixer, volume control etc."
Andrews adds that although he had good practical reasons for buying an Orpheus, there were also more sentimental concerns at stake - not least his long association with SADiE, which is now part of the Prism Sound group.
"I've been a SADiE user since 1995 and rely heavily on it to make my business work," he explains. "For precise speech and music editing it's unequalled. The slip function and the trim editor alone make intense speech editing and assembly very fast. A lot of radio now is recorded in stereo by default (e.g. using flash recorders with built-in mics) but sometimes only one leg is really useful. SADiE allows stereo pairs to be split or re-joined in a keystroke. Also, the ability to have multiple EDLs is very useful at the assembly phase of documentary-making."
Given this background, it's no surprise that sentiment played a part in Andrews' buying decision.
"Prism Sound has an excellent reputation - I've never read a bad review and I know, from talking to them, that they design their products using a sensible engineering approach," he says. "I admit I was looking for a way of continuing to invest in Prism Sound/SADiE because it's been a long time since I sent any money their way, yet I use their systems almost daily with fantastic support."

Some day its the chicken, others the egg. So it goes with the Cleveland Browns' new defensive system, a chicken or egg question if ever there was one. Did the Browns adopt the new system because they hired coaches who believe in it, or did they choose the coaches because they believe in the Browns preferred system? CEO Joe Banner had a plain answer last week when he met the Cleveland media at the NFL Scouting Combine. He said every move made this offseason sprung from a focus on aggression, a focus that will guide the team in the Jimmy Haslam-Banner era. It may be right, it may be wrong, and we still have to prove it, but everything will come from a philosophy, from a plan, Banner said. There will be no whims, no flying by the seat of our pants. The players that we bring in will be aggressive, attacking, competitive, mad-as-hell-when-we lose type of people. That well have an offensive and defensive coordinator who are going to call a game with that kind of aggressiveness. That ...

The Swayambhunath temple, is among the oldest religious sites in Nepal. According to the Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī Swayambhunath was founded by the great-grandfather of King Mānadeva (464-505 CE), King Vṛsadeva, about the beginning of the 5th century CE. This seems to be confirmed by a damaged stone inscription found at the site, which indicates that King Mānadeva ordered work done in 640 CE.
However, Emperor Ashoka is said to have visited the site in the third century BCE and built a temple on the hill which was later destroyed.
Although the site is considered Buddhist, the place is revered by both Buddhists and Hindus. Numerous Hindu monarch followers are known to have paid their homage to the temple, including Pratap Malla, the powerful king of Kathmandu, who is responsible for the construction of the eastern stairway in the 17th century.
The stupa was completely renovated in May 2010, its first major renovation since 1921 and its 15th in the nearly 1,500 years since it was built. The dome was re-gilded using 20 kg of gold. The renovation was funded by the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center of California, and began in June 2008.
This unique Buddhist monastery is just north of Durbar Sq. It was allegedly founded in the 12th century, and it has existed in its current form since 1409. The temple gets its name from the gilded metal plates that cover most of its frontage and it is one of the most beautiful in Patan. Outside of winter, look for the tortoises pottering around the compound – these are the temple guardians.
Entry is via an ornate narrow stone doorway to the east, or a wooden doorway to the west from one of the interlinked courtyards on the north side of Nakabhil.
Entering from the east, note the gaudy lions and the 1886 signature of Krishnabir, the master stonemason who sculpted the fine doorway with its frieze of Buddhist deities. This second doorway leads to the main courtyard of the Golden Temple; shoes and leather articles must be removed to enter the lower courtyard. The main priest of the temple is a young boy under the age of 12, who serves for 30 days before handing the job over to another young boy.
The temple itself is a magnificent example of courtyard temple architecture. Two elephant statues guard the doorway and the facade is covered by a host of gleaming Buddhist figures. Inside the main shrine is a beautiful statue of Sakyamuni (no photos allowed). To the left of the courtyard is a statue of Green Tara and in the right corner is a statue of the Bodhisattva Vajrasattva wearing an impressive silver-and-gold cape. Both are inside inner shrines.
Facing the main temple is a smaller shrine containing a 'self-arisen' (swayambhu) chaitya (small stupa). The four corners of the courtyard have statues of four Lokeshvaras (incarnations of Avalokiteshvara) and four monkeys, which hold out jackfruits as an offering. A stairway leads to an upper-floor chapel dedicated to a white eight-armed Avalokiteshvara, lined with Tibetan-style frescoes including a wheel of life. Finally, as you leave the temple at the eastern exit, look up to see an embossed mandala mounted on the ceiling.
Boudhanath (Devanagari: बौद्धनाथ) (also called Boudha, Bouddhanath or Baudhanath or the Khāsa Caitya) is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is known as Khāsti in Nepal Bhasa, Jyarung Khasyor in Tamang language or as Bauddha by speakers of Nepali.[2] Located about 11 km (6.8 mi) from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the stupa's massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal.[3]
The Buddhist stupa of Boudhanath dominates the skyline. The ancient Stupa is one of the largest in the world. The influx of large populations of refugees from Tibet has seen the construction of over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) around Boudhanath. As of 1979, Boudhanath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhunath, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area.
The Stupa is on the ancient trade route from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu in the northeast corner, passes by Boudnath Stupa to the ancient and smaller stupa of Cā-bahī (often called 'Little Boudnath'). It then turns directly south, heading over the Bagmati river to Patan – thus bypassing the main city of Kathmandu (which was a later foundation).[2] Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Boudhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha.
The Pashupatinath Temple (Sanskrit: : पशुपतिनाथ मन्दिर) is a famous, sacred Hindu temple dedicated to Pashupatinath is located on the banks of the Bagmati River 5 kilometres north-east of Kathmandu Valley in the eastern city of Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. This temple is considered one of the sacred temples of Hindu faith .The temple serves as the seat of the national deity, Lord Pashupatinath.This temple complex is on UNESCO World Heritage Sites's list. This "extensive Hindu temple precinct" is a "sprawling collection of temples, ashrams, images and inscriptions raised over the centuries along the banks of the sacred Bagmati river" and is included as one of the seven monument groups in UNESCO's designation of Kathmandu Valley as a cultural heritage site. The temple is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams (Holy Abodes of Shiva) on the continent. Kotirudra Samhita, Chapter 11 on the Shivalingas of the North, in Shiva Purana mentions this Shivalinga as the bestower of all wishes. One of the major Festivals of the temple is Maha Shivaratri on which day over 700,000 devotees visit here.

1990 Cadillac Seville Q&A
1990 Cadillac Seville Question: ELC sensor
Is there any way to test the sensor to see if it's working? - baferrell
Answer 1
If you mean the electronic level control sensor, yes there is a way. Firstly, park your car on level ground and measure the highest point of your rear wheel fender well. Then open your trunk and stand in it and have some one turn the key on, if the system is working, it should raise the vehicle up at least an inch to compensate for the added weight. It does this because it will see the angle of the ELC sesnor change, IF the system and sensor is working properly. Ok, then you can use and ohm meter and check the resistance as you move the height sensing lever, however, you should check for ELC codes. Do you ever hear the little Air Pump running, it should run and then shut off. Sometimes these systems get a leak, and they won't hold any air pressure, so they will never raise. You can check for leaks with with a bottle of spray soap like windex on the air lines and air shocks. As far as bypassing the height sensor, it will either be in the shorted or open position, which will turn your pump off or run it until it burns up. I would not recommend this course of action. Moving the height sensor arm with the key on, should operate the pump, or operate the release valves. BE CAREFUL when you are under such a big car. I would strongly recommend that you do it on a hoist. It is VERY RISKY to do it on jack stands. - dandd

Water Engineering MSc
- Overview
- Course Content
- Special Features
- Teaching & Assessment
- Employability
- Fees
- Entry Criteria
About the Course
Civil Engineering addresses key challenges associated with infrastructure. There is a global shortage of qualified civil engineers, especially at the graduate/junior engineer career stage. This shortage is expected to increase significantly when the current economic crisis ends. This MSc will help redress this imbalance, providing graduates with an advanced knowledge and skills base, with particular strengths in aspects of water engineering.
Problems associated with water resources, access, distribution and quality have been identified as being amongst the most important global issues for the coming fifty years by a variety of bodies including the United Nations, World Bank and ICE. These problems reflect growing populations, raised expectations and the impact of climate change. Water quality issues and water scarcity are increasingly becoming a major issue due to increasing population, economic growth and climate change. Recent figures indicate that 1.1 billion people, worldwide, do not have access to clean drinking water, while 2.6 billion do not have adequate sanitation (WHO/UNICEF 2005).
Currently we are mid-way through the UN's 'Water for Life' International Decade, with a Millennium Development Goal of halving the number of people without access to adequate water infrastructure by 2015. Although significant progress has been achieved, continued improvement towards the target, and maintaining new and existing water supply and sanitation infrastructure requires a much greater pool of qualified engineers than is currently available. Even in developed countries, water resources are under significant pressure as a result of demand for increasing volumes of clean water, with a growing usage of unsustainable sources.
Episodes when there is too much water also present an increasing challenge. Major flood events, such as the 2010 floods in Pakistan, directly affect millions. Water-related risks, including fluvial, pluvial and coastal flooding, drought, and groundwater changes are being given an increasingly high priority by local, regional and national governments. Current budgetary pressures mean that solutions have to be appropriate, efficient and innovative.
The Worshipful Company of Water Conservators bursary is available for students on this course.
Special note for the academic year 2014/15 only: £8,000 will be available in the Water bursary fund for awarding to one or more successful students. There shall also be an equipment allowance of £2,000 to fund student project work and to allow travel to relevant international conference events to disseminate this work.
What do our Students think about this Course?
Women in Engineering Scholarships
This course is designed for both recent graduates and more experienced engineers who wish to update and enhance their knowledge and understanding. Our MSc is unique in providing specialist knowledge on the critical sub-topics of desalination systems, building water services engineering, industrial waste water management, and water in health care.
The programme will demonstrate the links between theory and practice by including input from our industrial partners and through site visits. Generic modules in financial and project management will underpin specialist modules focusing on Water Engineering topics. Students' skills in gathering and understanding complex information from a variety of sources (including engineering, scientific and socio-economic information) will be developed in an advanced research methods module. Issues relating to risk and health and safety will be introduced in the research methods module and built on in the more specialist modules.

Special Features
Students can make the most of laboratory facilities which are extensive, modern and well equipped. We have recently made a major investment in our Joseph Bazalgette Laboratories which includes hydraulic testing laboratory equipment and facilities such as our open channel flow flumes.
Although we recruit a large number of highly qualified students to our undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees each year, we don't forget that you are an individual. From the beginning of your time here, you are allocated a personal tutor who will guide you through academic and pastoral issues.
The College is 'research intensive'. This means that most academics are actively involved in cutting-edge research. Much of this research is undertaken with collaborators outside the University, including construction companies, water utilities, and other leading industrial firms. We work with universities in China, Poland, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Denmark and Japan. This research is fed directly into our courses, providing a challenging investigative culture and ensuring that you are exposed to up-to-date and relevant material throughout your time at Brunel.
We have excellent links with business and industry in the UK and overseas. This means:
- Degrees are designed to meet the needs of industry and the market place.
- The latest developments in the commercial world feed into your course.
- You have greater choice and quality of professional placements.
- We have more contacts to help you find a job when you graduate.
This course has been designed in close consultation with industry and is accredited as a designated 'technical' MSc degree by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) for entry year 2012. There has been a recent reaccreditation visit by the professional body, and we expect to be notified in due course of accreditation for the 2013 cohort and beyond. The JBM is made up of Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers respectively.
- This means this course provides Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer who holds a CEng accredited first degree (full JBM listing of accredited degrees).
- As a designated 'technical' MSc, it will also allow suitable holders of an IEng accredited first degree to meet the educational base for a Chartered Engineer.
Facts and Figures
Brunel's College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences is one of the largest of its kind in the UK, with over 150 academics and a substantial and high quality pool of technical and administrative staff. As a result, we have excellent resources to support your time here as a student.
Teaching and Learning
Our PhilosophyThe ethos of Water Engineering at Brunel stems from the initial formation of the University as a technological institution in the mid-1960s.
Our philosophy is to underpin theoretical aspects of the subject with hands-on experience in applying water engineering techniques. Although you may move on to project management and supervision roles, we feel it important that your knowledge is firmly based on an understanding of how things are done. To this end, industrial partners will provide guest lectures on specialist topics.
In addition to teaching, water engineering staff are active researchers. This keeps us at the cutting edge of developments and, we hope, allows us to pass on our enthusiasm for the subject.
HoursContact between students and academic staff is relatively high at around 20 hours per week to assist you in adjusting to university life. As the course progresses the number of contact hours is steadily reduced as you undertake more project-based work.
How will I be taught?Lectures
These provide a broad overview of the main concepts and ideas you need to understand and give you a framework on which to expand your knowledge by private study.
Practicals are generally two- or three-hour sessions in which you can practise your observational and analytical skills, and develop a deeper understanding of theoretical concepts.
Design Studios
In a studio you will work on individual and group projects with guidance from members of staff. You may be required to produce a design or develop a solution to an engineering problem. These sessions allow you to develop your intellectual ability and practice your teamwork skills.
Site visits
Learning from real-world examples in an important part of the course. You will visit sites featuring a range of water engineering approaches and asked to evaluate what you see.
On registration for the course you will be allocated a personal tutor who will be available to provide academic and pastoral support during your time at university. You will get one-to-one supervision on all project work.
Several methods of assessment are employed on the course. There are written examinations and coursework. You will undertake projects, assignments, essays, laboratory work and short tests.
Project work is commonplace and is usually completed in groups to imitate the everyday experience in an engineering firm, where specialists must pool their talents to design a solution to a problem.
In this situation you can develop your management and leadership skills and ensure that all members of the group deliver their best. Group members share the mark gained, so it is up to each individual to get the most out of everyone else.
This course allow practitioners in relevant technical and engineering based subject areas to both broaden their knowledge and understanding of all aspects of water engineering (which they may not be quite familiar with), and also to specialise further in this discipline.
It also allows practising water engineers to build upon both the basic and advanced theory that underpins their discipline. It is anticipated that since this course is geared for UK and overseas water engineering practitioners, it will enhance all participants' career prospects.
In terms of the UK, participants would be attracted to the type of work carried out by specialist water and environmental consultants, government agencies, drainage boards of local authorities, and large scale civil engineering firms working in this field.
In terms of the overseas participants, it would enhance their skills base to work with international construction companies with specialist divisions in the water and environmental field, large local civil engineering firms, and also with their own domestic water utility set-ups.
At Brunel we provide many opportunities and experiences within your degree programme and beyond – work-based learning, professional support services, volunteering, mentoring, sports, arts, clubs, societies, and much, much more – and we encourage you to make the most of them, so that you can make the most of yourself.

Cleveland fans offer to help billionaire Dan Gilbert pay fine
Jul 13, 2010, 9:52 PM EDT
Dan Gilbert can afford to buy his own lunch.
Sure he owns a company that did a lot of real estate loans and that's not the most lucrative business in the world right now. And his basketball franchise is worth $150 million less than it was a week ago. He is still worth close to $1 billion.
Still, the big-hearted people of Cleveland want to help out. Gilbert was fined $100,000 by NBA Commissioner David Stern for going off on LeBron in an email and interview, and probably half of that is for using Comic Sans font.
Clevelanders have offered to pitch in, according to Associated Press. They liked his email. And is font, thank you very much.
Gilbert said thanks but he could get this tab.
"The humbling offer by so many is another reflection of the strength of Cavs fans and the people who live and work in this region and are always the first to step up and have each other's back," Gilbert said. "I will pay this fine myself, but would be grateful and highly appreciative for any fan who redirects the dollars they kindly offered to contribute towards this fine to the Cavaliers Youth Fund, which will positively impact our region's kids through the numerous local charitable groups the Cavaliers Youth Fund supports."

INTERPRETATION: What Dan Gilbert "really" meant to say in his open letter to fans —–> http://clicky.me/rSI . . . and in his interview —–> http://clicky.me/rqN
- JoeSixPack - Jul 13, 2010 at 11:12 PM
First of all, classy move by Cav fans to back up their organization and send LeBron a message at the same time
But you've really got to hand it Gilbert – the guy is shrewd and knew exactly what he was doing by saying what the fanbase wanted to hear… he saved far more than $100,000 in season ticket sales at the very least.
And how shrewd is it to have the donations go to helping the FUTURE LeBron develop…. perhaps next time they can get a hometown phenom who might actually show some loyalty to the hometown that flocked to watch him play since he was a Freshman in High School. Here's betting Gilbert matches whatever is donated to put the icing on the cake.
Of course Gilbert's pledge to have Cleveland win a championship before wasn't his shining moment… if he's serious about that I might wager my house against his organization
But then again, he never specified an "NBA" championship, did he? These guys take the intramural softball league by storm and Gilbert's a man of his word.

Of all the great civilizations of the ancient world, that of Persia is one of the most remarkable but least understood. This is a study of the country's origins and why it collapsed so dramatically with the Arab invasions of the seventh century. Josef Wiesehofer, provides a comprehensive survey of the Persian Empire under the Achaeminids, the Parthians and the Sassanians. By focusing on the primary Persian sources - written, archaeological and numismatic evidence from Persia - he avoids the traditional Western approach which has tended to rely so heavily on inaccurate, and sometimes prejudiced, Greek and Roman sources.

Wood Memorial rewards fans
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. - It had come to this.
Three and a half quarters and 20-some odd games into the high school girls' basketball season, Wood Memorial and Northeast Dubois were locked in the most intense game of keepaway that Jeffersonville gym has ever seen.
The Trojans protected their lead and the ball, whipping passes back and forth with the Jeeps chasing.
There were foul shots by Wood Memorial and 3-point heaves by Northeast Dubois mixed in, but by the time the final horn played taps on the end of the Jeeps' season, it was ringing in the dawn of Wood Memorial's dreams.
With a 58-43 victory, the Trojans (19-8) will play for a state title for the first time in school history.
But when an official held out a game-ball memento for the Jeeps, a group of seniors trudged after it with their heads down, each step painful with the burden of losing. On the threshold of returning to Indianapolis after being Class A runners-up just two years ago, No. 10 Northeast Dubois (19-7) was going home.
The previous 32 minutes had been less of a struggle for Wood Memorial. The Trojans never trailed. Shadoe Besing turned five first-half steals into five easy layups, and the Jeeps only briefly drew within single digits in the second half before the Trojans extended a 12-point halftime lead.
"That's kind of the team we've been all year. We've kind of relied on our defense to keep us in basketball games ... and for Shadoe to come out the way she did," said coach Johnnie Bartley, "she was just all over the place."
Said Besing: "I always try to get in passing lanes, but today was probably my best defensive game and defense wins ballgames."
Besing smiled, and then added, "Defense wins championships."
Wood Memorial will play No. 3 Oregon Davis for the Class A title at 9:30 a.m. CST Saturday in Conseco Fieldhouse.
The Trojan crowd, which Besing called "awesome," had cheered each of her steals and had cheered Kaiti Cochren, who had 18 points and 13 rebounds, and had cheered Whitney Malin, the freshman point guard who after handling the pressure of the situation and from the Jeeps, collapsed with emotion at the end of the game.
Then they cheered Bartley.
He had made the rounds of players and media requests, and finally, he cut down the final pieces of net that remained, pocketing one and throwing another to the crowd.
"They carried us," Besing said of the fans, "and we want even more next week at state."

Baptists and Muslims in Jordan and Beyond
Ethics Daily has a report about Baptists and Muslims meeting in Jordan to discuss the opening and dedication of a Baptism Center in Bethany beyond the Jordan. They have also posted a story about a Baptist Church in Columbia, Tennessee that spoke out and took up a love offering to help a small Muslim community when their Mosque was firebombed.
There is much labor to build bridges and find common ground between Baptists and Muslims -- if you know where to look. Thanks to Ethics Daily for keeping us current on efforts like this.

An excellent atmosphere, great rooms and especially the courteous Roz makes this place a homerun. I can not add anything that has not already been written about this great get-away. Concern over the needs of the guests. I need to eat a bland diet. Roz had no problem making sure my breakfasts were perfect for my diet. What else do you need to know? Returning in June... see you there...

The Whistling Swan was my first experience at a bed and breakfast and it was quite impressive, it's very homey and serene. I took my girlfriend there for our anniversary and she enjoyed every bit of this little heaven. Also the owners were very kind and sincere in making us feel at home, their service and skills in the kitchen was great! We would be sure to go again soon.

Excellent B&B in Stanhope, NJ. My wife and I just needed a quick overnight getaway and this was just the place. Ros, was an excellent host and made the reservation process and our overnight stay painless. She recommended a nice place in town for dinner and we had a lovely time there as well. We stayed in the Walnut Valley Suite. A lovely Victorian decorated room on the second floor. It had its own sitting area and fireplace. It was just cold enough outside to enjoy that and we did. In the morning, Ros had a delicious breakfast ready for us and the other guests. We had a lovely time and recommend this B&B. Thanks Ros for a wonderful experience.

Our night at the Whistling Swan was very nice. Snacks and drinks were available all night. The room as well as the inn was very neat and clean. Lovely grounds on the outside including a nice wraparound porch. The breakfast in the morning was very good which was highlighted by eggs benedict. Very GOOD.

My wife and I have stayed at the Whistling Swan Inn at least a half a dozen time over as many years to include BRT (Before Ros and Tom). It's the best place to stay in northern New Jersey; and it's only an hour's drive from Newark Airport (after commuter traffic has passed). We like it because it's comfortable, quiet, reasonably priced, and breakfasts are 'gourmet'. And importantly, Ros and Tom are a superb and accommodating hosts.
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your kind words ... we're blushing! It's always a pleasure to see old friends when they return to the Inn, and we're glad that you've continued to make us your home away from home.

U.S. Aims For International Support In Action Against Syria
By editor
Originally published on Tue August 27, 2013 7:36 am
Secretary of State Kerry has pronounced an all-but-final U.S. verdict against the Syrian government for suspected use of chemical weapons in an "indiscriminate slaughter" of civilians. U.S. warships are within missile range, and U.S. envoys are talking to allies to see what kind of action they might support. David Greene talks to Frederic Hof, who was a special State Department adviser on Syria for the Obama administration. He is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.

At the end of the day, Ribs' (in)ability as a speaker doesn't matter at all. It is what he does on the ice that matters.
For that matter, they should never interview any players. All they ever say is what the Communications Directors tell them to say, and the time tested and true cliches like, "je pense que" "on vas revenir plus fort en troisieme" "I cannot get nervous about what other's do or say, I can only control my game" "the team really played well infront of me".
Besides Hull and maybe a few others, player interviews are a colossal waste of time.
