Where and how to celebrate Halloween
Just because you're too old for trick or treat doesn't mean you can't have a great time during Halloween. And there's no place better to celebrate the holiday than in Boston and the surrounding area.

Halloween Celebrations in Salem
All day and night
Salem, Massachusetts
Halloween is to Salem what New Year's Eve is to Manhattan's Times Square. All through October, this small waterfront city—home of the witch trials of 1692 and Nathaniel Hawthorne's House of the Seven Gables—celebrates all things spooky and sinister. And it all culminates on Halloween, with harbor cruises, ghost stories, haunted houses, live music, witches' circles, magic shows, and more. Stay for the Halloween fireworks over the North River at 10 p.m. Many of the events are free. Salem offers what may be the best costume parade outside of New York's Greenwich Village. To accommodate the crowds of visitors, the MBTA will run expanded train service between Boston and Salem throughout the day. Visit the website here and click here for a schedule. Find out more about official Halloween events in Salem here.

4. Military Field Rations Inedible
Military Field Rations have been the bane of every solider. In World War I, it was the'Iron Ration.' In WW II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War, it was some configuration of the 'C-ration,' and now it is the MRE. Soldiers only eat them to survive. Here is a suggestion to make them palatable.

Excellent for short stays
I stayed one night, for I had to catch my flight next day.
For the money I paid, I have to say it was a very good choice. Staff very helpful and polite, clean room, breakfast was more than enough for me. It is a bit far from the center, but you have three metro stations nearby. I would recommend it to anyone!

Not bad for the money close to metro for down town shops and airport
Basic hotel in urban area, about 15 minutes walking distance to the old centre of the city
A basic hotel in an urban area, about 15 minutes walking distance to the old city.
Close to metro and bus. People are friendly and helpful, breakfast is simple. (A bit more variety and fresh fruits would have made it better.) Unfortunately the road was very noisy during the night on the side of our room.

Room near the street with a lot of noise
basic hotel for basic needs
If you're planning to stay here, don't expect much and there shouldn't be any surprises.
It is located in the wider downtown area, just between two metro stations (Picoas and Marques do Pombal), so you'll be able to get anywhere quite fast. That is definitely a pro, as well as the price for the night I got, which included a very basic breakfast which consists of cereal, two different types of beagles, usual butter and jam, cheese and ham, "coffee" and milk and orange juice. After couple of days you kinda get tired of it, but at least it comes with the price for the room. The room was very spacious as well as the bathroom. Actually the whole hotel looks like someone turned a residential building into a hotel, which I think was the case (the name of the hotel kinda reveals it itself). The complimentary WiFi didn't work in my room, since I was at the end of a hallway (room 501), so I had to purchase access to some other provider. Even when I'd try to use it in the hallway, sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. The room doesn't come with hairdryer, but in that case you can borrow one at the front desk, but have in mind that the bathroom might not have the power outlet, like mine didn't. There was also a balcony that's a nice touch, but didn't use it at all. Also, the noise from the side street, even 5 floors up was very noticeable, even with the balcony doors closed. So, if you're planning to mostly be out and about and don't care much about these cons, this is the hotel for you.

Very pleasant stay
From the time we arrived until we left the staff had been friendly and very helpful.
Breakfasts basic but plentiful. Rooms very clean. Very close to the main tourist area. Would certainly recommend for a mini break. John& Chris- Whitehead

Jonatan, 24 years old, lives with his partner in a common law marriage. He is a young entrepreneur, with vision and a great desire to get ahead but due to a lack of work experience it has been difficult for him to find employment opportunities. This has led him to live in a very unstable economic situation and for that reason he was motivated to start his own business, an internet café and video game room. Additionally he has slot machines and sells soft drinks and snacks to supplement his income during the two years that he has been up and running. He had never had experience in systems management but he has been learning with a lot of effort and dedication. This has allowed him to obtain income to bring the daily food to his home.
He is requesting a loan as a support for improving his business. He wants to invest it in the purchase of a multifunction printer and to stock up on snacks and soft drinks. In this way he will expand the portfolio of services that he offers and this will allow him to increase his sales and his income in order to be able to save and achieve one of his principal goals which is to see his business grow and in this way give his wife a better quality of life.

Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

Fredrik Barth
Browse by
Fredrik Barth (b. 1928) was appointed as the first Professor of Social Anthropology in 1965 at the University of Bergen where he founded the Department of Social Anthropology. He subsequently held Chairs in Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo, Emroy University (Austin) and the University of Boston. In 2008 he was appointed Doctor Honoris Cause at the University of Bergen. Professor Barth is a world reknown scholar who has published extensively since the late 1940s, including highly influencial theoretical contributions on a broad range of topics, based on ethnographic materials from numerous fieldworks in many different areas, including Darfur (Sudan), Kurdistan (Irak), Swat (Pakistan), Baluchistan (Afganistan), South Irak, Oman, New Guinea, Bali, Buthan and Norway.

As the debate rages in the public realm over whether or not global warming is real, there isn't so much in the scientific realm. Of course, it turns out that astronomers have been predicting global warming for quite some time and there's nothing more dire than the predictions of astronomers.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Those who have studied the life cycles of stars know that stars die, taking any life in their planetary systems with them. The Solar System is no different and our future is one of fire, and ice.
Solar output hasn't been constant throughout history. Stars, like people and everything else in nature have a life cycle. Stars begin as tremendous pockets of hydrogen gas and condense into swirling masses, fusing hydrogen atoms in their cores, forging helium in the process and firing off photons of light.
This process continues unabated for much of the star's life, however it eventually fuses and converts most of the hydrogen in its core and it is then that the star begins to change. Among the changes can be an expansion of the star's outer layers. This is just what will happen with the Sun.
As the outer layers of the Sun expand, they will radiate more heat towards Earth, eventually baking the planet so that no life can survive. This will happen in about 1.1 billion years. The Sun will literally swell until it takes up the entire sky. All life will be extinct by this point and water will vaporize and probably be lost into space with much of the atmosphere. Earth will become a molten ball of rock as it was when it originally formed.
The good news is that this transition is at least 1.5 billion years away.
At about 7 billion years, the Earth will actually orbit within the outer layers of the Sun's bloated surface.
Following that change, the Sun will cast off its outer layers into space leaving a condensed core behind that will eventually burn out. What was once Earth will be left as a ball of frozen rock, floating silently through space until some other unforeseen cosmic cataclysm destroys it.
Humans will be long-extinct, or perhaps, if we are successful, long living on other worlds. That future however, is so remote that it is literally impossible to even speculate what will be. Of course, the most likely scenario is extinction, but there is a basis optimism, for our species is curious and bright and motivated to survive.
However, humanity shouldn't be so complacent as if the clocks will tick forever. There are plenty of other more immediate threats to our species. Astronomers widely believe that comets and asteroids continue to pose a real threat to the planet and a single impact could destroy civilization as we know it. We do not yet have the guaranteed means to detect and protect against the imminent threat cosmic impact, regardless of what Hollywood claims.
There are also risks associated with other natural phenomenon such as volcanic activity, the drift of continents and changes in weather patterns. In about 250 million years, the continents of the planet are predicted to drift back together to form another supercontinent.
What we imagine as permanent is quite temporary on a cosmic scale.
Even more immediate than supercontinents are dangers we create for ourselves. Global climate change, human induced or not, is still a significant threat to humanity whether it gets hotter or colder. The pollution of the environment, the extinction f keystone species, and the development and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction are all risk factors to humanity.
In short, we are doomed by nature, if we do not destroy ourselves first and do not find a way to safely sail to the stars.
The good news is that for us living today, the odds of natural cataclysm within our lifetime are miniscule. More likely is that we will destroy ourselves by some foolish means, but in that case we have the power to careen into oblivion, or to deftly avoid disaster by means of peace and responsible stewardship of our planet.
Beyond that, we must leave it to God to handle the rest.

Interesting Noises
Phoebe: I loved it! It was so moving. Oh, plus it's just, it's so different from the stuff you usually hear.
Chandler: You mean like, music?
—Friends, "The One Where Chandler Crosses The Line", written by Adam Chase
You know, it's a rule of thumb that any CD you have to read about to appreciate isn't that good in the first place. I listened to this album the first time through merely thinking it was a not-very masterful "alternative" album. After reading the hype sheet and Solex's entry in the All-Music Guide, I suppose I'm impressed that she put the record together from found sounds and such. But there seems to be little craft in the results; Solex hasn't found much art in her noises. They lack the dense rush of a good sample jam, the amazing eclecticism that keeps a keen ear tingling with excitement.
Maybe it's that the mix-and-match technique, at this point, is fucking old. Or maybe it's just that I am. I approve of this type of record, but I need a little more to listen to than interesting noises. I feel a pronouncement coming on, so here it is: Making interesting noises and making music are not the same thing. A good record can actually be made of either, but this is the kind of compromise between the two that leaves no one happy. And me, at the moment, I prefer music anyway.
In retrospect, it comes as no surprise to learn that Solex is Elisabeth Esselink, a Dutch record store owner. This sounds exactly like what you would expect a record store owner to make if she owned a tape recorder, a sampler, and some time to spare. The idea seems to be the aural equivalent of junk sculpture. Ska-influenced "songs" made up of dissonance and borrowed majesty. It's percolating with sound effects in everything including the kitchen sing arrangements.
Listening to Solex's Low Kick and Hard Bop, it helps not to be expecting music.

Once the exclusive domain of playboys and cads, the luxe-leaning smoking slipper is the newest alternative to basic flats. Do like Alexa Chung, Beyoncé, and Jessica Alba, and pick up a pair perfect for errands or events.
A dark smoking slipper is masculine where the ballet pump is dainty, but the lack of ties or thick tassels makes it easier to wear than made-for-him brogues.

Since relationships are natively implemented in Neo4j, we can use them as a simple way to identify a group of connected nodes. But it is not the only usage we can make of them. There are many use cases where consecutive queries can... Read more →

PHOENIX -- Even as the American League All-Stars filtered into a conference room at the Arizona Biltmore, Yankees pitcher David Robertson was nowhere to be found. But Robertson wasn't big-timing anyone; the Yankees setup man was just getting to the hotel when the American League All-Stars were meeting the press.
Named to the All-Star team Sunday as a replacement, Robertson got up at 3:40 a.m. to catch a cab to the Newark airport at 4:10 a.m. His flight then went to Chicago, and he switched planes to get to Phoenix. While switching planes in Chicago, his bags got caught in a rainstorm and were still soaked when he picked them up in Phoenix.
Despite the travel woes, it was worth it for Robertson to make his first All-Star Game. In addition to the honor of making the game, he was also able to spread the word about his foundation to help the victims of the tornadoes in Alabama earlier this year at http://www.highsocksforhope.org:

there is a 2 for $20 special which is a good deal. You can select and appetizer and choose two main dishes.
We stopped for a Quick light lunch. Their oriental chicken salad was delicious and the basil tomato soup as well. Our waiter Jacob was so nice it was a pleasant experience. We frequently stop at the Harlingen Applebee's and are usually well taken care of.
After visiting Applebee's on Monday evenings for the burger and fries special, the service gradually got worse and worse. They increased the price last month and we thought we would hang in there as the burgers are really quite good. But after this past Monday, February 23rd, we will NOT be returning. Usually about 20 to 30 of us go...
On our way to the airport we stopped at the Harlingen, Texas Applebee's. My husband had the Thi salad and said he would go back to the chicken spinach salad. Personal choice. My daughter chose the pick two for lunch. Unfortunately the chicken in the Oriental salad and the sandwich arrived cold. Our waiter was exceptional. Returned it and brought...
Monday night special of burger and fries for $5.99 and PBR for $1.99 can't be beat. Look forward to Mondays every week now. A number of excellent burgers to choose from. I have tried three and so far loved them all. So far the triple bacon is my favourite but still have a couple I will try. I used to...
We have always enjoyed this location for good food and service the last few years but this year on Monday evenings, they offer any burger off of their menu with french fries for $5.99.
This week we arrived and were shown to our table. Our group consisted of two friends plus my wife and I. We ordered the triple bacon...
I hadn't been to an Applebee's for a long time as the food was just ok, but now, Such good food. Perfectly prepared, handled large crowd well. We will return !
I have never been a fan of Applebees food much and I was served a fly in margarita shaker. When I showed the waitress I guess she may have been embarresed or something but she acted like it didn't happen. So I was not to hapy with the problem or the reaction.
After eating at Applebee's dozens of times in the past five years, we have finally given up.
The food is mediocre and the kitchen is VERY slow. The wait staff is friendly, but the high turnover shows. And they cannot compensate for the very slow kitchen. Speaking of turnover, it seems that there is a new manager every few months...
This place sucked a big oone. Got so sick called the manager when I got home and he said too bad. Never will I go back.

Excellent stop over experience
Absolutely beautiful surroundings very tranquil and relaxing.
As it was the week-end it had the feeling of a ghost town however this did not bother me but for some it might be unnerving. Excellent value for money. Free high speed wifi however difficult to obtain a signal on mobile phone. Room very pleasant.

disappointing grandeur
We arrived to the front of magnificent gardens and facade.
We were logged in and directed to the lodge (down the drive). Almost on the road we had room 77 which was dark, shabby, noisy, pokey room with a small double bed. We asked for an alternative and were given room 62 which was a bit lighter, and better decorated. Both rooms were uncomfortable, noisy in the day and the doors banged at night. We enjoyed sitting in the garden but wished we had gone to Premier Inn for a comfortable bed and a quiet night's sleep. No thought was given for quality soaps or comfortable beds and covers (ours was too small and kept falling off). We would not be interested in returning even though we had a room only deal at £39. We paid £8.50 for breakfast, which was modest.

Enjoyable but needs more
Late rooms gave a great offer on this hotel and it was lovely looking and large grounds.
The receptionist was friendly. We had to walk down the path to get to the right building. The room was very dark colours and personally not to my standard. My biggest disappointment. We didn't check in till midnight and wanted a sleep in but needed to pay for any late check outs due to the wedding. We left the room at 11 and after missing breakfast we were hungry. But the restaurant was not available due to the wedding. The hotel really needs to consider all their guests. I was grateful that I was only staying one night.

Great hotel in a beautiful setting
Insanely bad experience
We arrived at the venue at 12 mid night only to be checked into a ground floor room which had an open patio door which would not lock.
When we phoned to complain and request a new room we were told they were fully booked. We requested a refund and all of a sudden another room became available.
We were then escorted to another ground floor room only to find a similar situation with the patio door. Only this time when we tried to lock the door the handle fell off. It was 1am and an hour after checking in. Another room was offered to is ( funny as we thought they were fully booked) which was a first floor room with a dated bathroom. We were so tired we slept off. The next morning we were not impressed with their breakfast offering and the restaurants customer service.
The duty manager apologised and gave us a refund for our inconvenience. I will not be staying at this hotel again.

Apple adds multiplayer Game Center restriction to iOS 4.1Apple has added a new option to restrict multiplayer games in developer builds of iOS 4.1, indicating that the new Game Center is approaching its official release to users.
Restrictions within iOS enable companies (or parents) to turn off options for their employees (or children). Current options include turing off access to Safari or YouTube, the device camera or location services, and disabling iTunes content including in-app purchases, or setting a given rating threshold for music, podcasts, TV, movies and software.
The addition of the "Multi Player Games" restriction in a new Game Center section of the Restrictions screen under the General page of Settings in developer builds of iOS 4.1 coincides with a new version of the GameKit APIs behind Game Center in the latest developer beta of the new release.
Once bundled in a shipping version of iOS, Game Center will allow players to track their game scores on leaderboards, find teams for group play, and track their in-game achievements. The new restriction appears intended to allow parents to block their children from playing against other users without supervision.
Game Center was touted by Apple as a major feature of iOS 4, signaling the company's efforts to support and attract high quality mobile games to the platform while making it easier for developers to add basic gaming features and more consistent for users who play multiple games.
Game Center may ship with the final release of iOS 4.1 for iPhone and iPod touch, which is likely to hit in September/October. Apple is also preparing an update that will bring iOS 4.x features to iPad.

Key legislators contend that having two programs for certifying service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses is overly complex and inconsistent.
Senior members of the House Small Business Committee want to consolidate the service-disabled veteran-owned small business procurement process under the sole jurisdiction of the Small Business Administration, and to legislate that change as part of the fiscal 2015 defense authorization bill.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has its own SDVOSB program, while the SBA handles SDVOSB duties for all other federal agencies. At the ACT-IAC Small Business Conference on April 24, House Small Business Committee Senior Counsel Emily Murphy raised the issue in a discussion on the legislative and regulatory outlook for small firms.
Do small-business preferences make the grade?
The bill was introduced last July by Colorado Republican Mike Coffman, who serves on the Small Business, Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committees.
Coffman called the existing VA/SBA process "cumbersome, expensive and overly complex." Differences in definitions, processes and interpretation between the agencies cause inconsistent decisions as to which firms qualify for contracts, he said. According to Coffman, SDVOSBs can qualify at one agency and not another for procurement preferences. The inconsistency often adds cost, confusion and opens the door to fraud, he said.
SDVOSB shenanigans were at the heart of a congressional investigation last summer into hardware and software reseller and IT services provider Strong Castle.
A House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigation and report on Strong Castle owner Braulio Castillo alleged that he secured preferential status as a small business owned by a disabled veteran and as a business operating in a blighted neighborhood. Castillo's Historically Underutilized Business Zone, or HUBZone, preference was ultimately revoked, but his SDVOSB status -- based on a sports injury incurred at the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School -- was affirmed by the Veterans Affairs Department in September 2013.
According to Coffman, the measure would transfer the VA verification processes to SBA; unify the definitions of SDVOSB and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), and add transparency and predictability to the process by creating an appellate process by which an SDVOSB can challenge an agency decision.
Coffman's bill was approved by the Small Business panel on March 5. Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Subcommittee on Contracting and Workforce Chairman Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) requested on April 9 that the measure be added to the 2015 defense bill, and House sources told FCW that a Senate companion bill is in the works.
