Nearly every small child has a special stuffed animal, and two recent picture books take a look at these imaginative friendships. In No Fits, Nilson!, written and illustrated by Zachariah OHora, the title character is depicted as a towering blue gorilla who dwarfs his constant companion, a young girl named Amelia. With his black porkpie hat, tennis shoes and collection of six wristwatches, Nilson exudes cool, although he is prone to temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Throughout the story, Amelia must remind him to stay calm. Acrylic paintings in a muted pastel palette done on printmaking paper lend a retro quality to this gentle, sweet book that speaks to patience, sharing and working past minor setbacks.
Paul Schmid's Oliver and His Alligator takes a look at a small boy's apprehensions about the first day of school. Pastel pencils combine with soft digital colors to bring to life tousle-haired Oliver and his alligator, whom he brings to class "in case things got rough." And when Oliver feels immediately shy and unsure, with a "munch, munch!" his alligator swallows a woman who greets him, and then his classmates in quick succession. Children will enjoy the humor of the situation, possibly wishing they had an alligator of their own to vanquish anxiety. But Oliver soon comes around to thinking that he may be missing out on something by sitting quietly by himself. Oliver and His Alligator makes for a welcome addition to the canon of books that address first day jitters.
As sumptuous and richly textured as the Renaissance age she resurrects, Blood and Beauty's descriptive language beguiles the reader from the start, sweeping away the veils of a half a millennium to reveal the all too human nature of some of the papacy's most notorious players: Rodrigo, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia. From her first foray into the conclave of cardinals at the book's opening, author Sarah Dunant hooks the reader, sparing none of the earthy details of Rodrigo's physical surroundings and fostering no sense of reverence for the chasm of time separating the modern reader from historical figures. Instead, Blood and Beauty reads as though we are joining the author on the scene of a current event, as breathless with anticipation as the citizens waiting outside on that sweltering summer's day.
Thoroughly researched, Dunant's narration often lends the flavor of the objective journalist, parsing through the rumors and mystique of the Borgia legacy to hint at another layer of truth behind the real people and events as they bloomed to life. The scope of Durant's task is ambitious. Contemporary and historical accounts of the Borgias suggest so intricate a web of deceit, power lust and manipulation that a sensationalist approach might all too easily have suggested itself to a writer.
Instead, Dunant refrains from judgment in her analysis, casting a more sympathetic portrayal of Lucrezia, and skillfully demonstrating the transformation of a teenage Cesare from a youth to the hardened, brutal character who would later inspire Machiavelli. The resulting multi-layered personalities prompt an altogether more subtle, nuanced interpretation of the infamous Borgia clan, rendering their story that much more compelling.
Recommended for those readers who favor a certain historicity in their narratives. Fans of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and any number of Sharon Kay Penman's works will be drawn to Blood and Beauty.
David Oliver Relin did not live long enough to witness the publication of his new book, Second Suns: Two Doctors and Their Amazing Quest to Restore Sight and Save Lives. It is a top-notch, inspiring account of two brilliant physicians from opposite ends of the world, one a Harvard-educated adrenaline junkie from America, and the other a disciplined trader's son from a remote Nepalese village. The unlikely duo combine their generous talents for one lofty goal: to cure preventable blindness. In 1995, they founded the Himalayan Cataract Project as a way to treat thousands of impoverished Himalayans in that isolated, mountainous region.
For ophthalmologists Geoffrey Tabin and Sanduk Ruit, the means to an end seemed simple yet difficult. In developing countries, cataracts are the leading cause of preventable blindness among the poor, including children. In wealthy countries, it is a common and treatable ailment of the elderly. "Some conditions of existence are more painful than others," Ruit tells Relin. Ruit would know; growing up, the nearest doctor was a six-day-walk away. He watched as his siblings died of curable illnesses.
Relin transports readers to Ruit's temporary eye hospital, formerly a filthy military post in the village of Kalikasthan, where young and old shuffle in from scorching heat to have red-brown dust scrubbed from their faces. The high energy Tabin, who early on abandoned a medical career to pursue athletic passions, was inspired by Ruit. Together, their respective stories led the dynamic pair to their calling. Thousands have been cured with their simple surgery that costs a mere pittance.
Relin, who co-authored the now controversial bestseller Three Cups of Tea with Greg Mortenson, committed suicide in November 2012. In telling this compelling and hopeful story of two medical pioneers, the author was not immune to the poignancy of what he was witnessing. When an elegant 56-year-old seamstress, who was forced to sell her sewing machine, finally sees again, Relin thrust into her hands a wad of bills. "For a sewing machine," he said.
Always eagerly anticipated, Great Britain's Man Booker Prize for Fiction committee announced its 2013 Long List on July 23. The Man Booker is widely considered Britain's most prestigious literary award and has such a devoted following that one can lay odds with a bookie on the winner. The Long List will be whittled down to six selections in September with the winner declared on October 10, 2013.
The books and authors on the Long List are often an eclectic bunch and this year is no exception. Ireland's Colm Toibin is named for his The Testament of Mary, a very short novel written in the first person from the perspective of the grieving and bitter mother of the crucified Jesus Christ. Zen-Bhuddist priest Ruth Ozeki, who divides her time between British Columbia and New York City, made the list for A Tale for the Time Being, in which a Canadian woman finds the diary of a bullied Japanese teen washed up on the Pacific shore. The story unfolds as the diary entries are read.
We Need New Names: A Novel is Zimbabwean author NoViolet Bulawayo's contribution to the list. Preteen Darling, her home destroyed and father gone, lives with her mother in the shantytown of Paradise. She and her friends play games inspired by the violence of the post-colonial Mugabe regime until Darling is shipped to America to live in "Destroyed", Michigan with her aunt's family. Bulawayo writes "there is no journey without a price", and Darling's journey from comfortable home to Paradise, then from Paradise to America all comes at a cost.
In her captivating new novel The Husband's Secret, Australian author Liane Moriarty examines the nature of secrets through the lives of three women connected by an elementary school. Everyone thinks Cecelia has the perfect life. She has a profitable Tupperware sales business, a loving husband and three beautiful daughters. She is the president of her daughters' school's Parents and Friends Association. One day, she finds a letter hidden in a box of old tax papers. It is from her husband John-Paul, and it says that she should open it upon his death. When she asks him about the letter, John-Paul says that it's nothing, but Cecelia can't stop thinking about it. She eventually opens the letter, and nothing in her world can ever be the same.
Tess's life is turned upside-down when her husband and cousin Felicity reveal that they have fallen in love. Betrayed by the two people who she trusts most, Tess immediately leaves to stay with her mother in Sydney, enrolling her young son at St. Angela's Primary School. That's where she reconnects with her ex-boyfriend Connor, who is now a teacher there.
Rachel's life was destroyed when her teenage daughter Janie was murdered in 1984. She has always believed that Connor, the last person to see Janie alive, was the murderer. Now, she is the school secretary at St. Angela's, and it kills her to see Connor going on with his life as if nothing has happened.
The Husband's Secret is charming, witty and unforgettable. Author Emily Giffin calls it "a story reading groups will devour. A knockout!" Secrets swirl throughout the novel, and the reader soon understands that the stories of these three women are irrevocably intertwined. Each of the characters learns that once you know the truth, you can never go back to not knowing it. This novel is a page-turner, and it will stay in your mind long after you finish reading the last page.
Bestselling crime writer Elmore Leonard passed away today at age 87 following a stroke earlier this month. Leonard's remarkable publishing career spanned six decades. His initial works were westerns, and the first of these was published in 1953. His most recent book, Raylan, featuring one of his most popular characters, was released in 2012.
Leonard's colorful characters, strong dialogue and gritty, realistic settings quickly caught the eye of Hollywood. Twenty-six of Leonard's novels and short stories have been adapted for movies and television. Among his best-known works which made it to the big screen are Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Hombre and Rum Punch, which was filmed as Jackie Brown. Several of Leonard's short stories were also made into popular movies, including 3:10 to Yuma and The Tall T. The current FX series Justified is based on short stories and novels featuring Leonard's enduring character Raylan Givens, a deputy U.S. Marshal.
While maintaining a popular readership, Leonard also received critical acclaim. In November, Leonard received a Medal for Distinguished Contribution from the National Book Foundation. Other honors include a Peabody Award for the television show Justified, a Grand Master Edgar Award and a PEN Lifetime Achievement Award.
Check out some of the titles available in a variety of formats by this legendary author.
John Milliken Thompson, author of The Reservoir, now brings us Love and Lament, a Southern historical drama told from the point of view of idealistic Mary Bet, the youngest of the troubled Hartsoe family's nine children. Due the woeful succession of deaths on the Hartsoe homestead, Mary Bet grows up believing her lineage is cursed. Her innocent mind makes sense of the losses by assuming that it is God's punishment for her own sins, despite that they are slight offenses to everyone's eyes but her own.
Against the landscape of pastoral North Carolina undergoing industrialization from the late 1800s through World War I, Mary Bet struggles to make a life for herself. She is a fresh and likable soul through whose eyes we see a pastiche of townsfolk. There are her dueling grandfathers whose ancient property feud comes to a scuffle over a poker game. And there is the illegal distillery worker who has to ruin his own batch of mash during a late-night booze raid on which she has tagged along as honorary second deputy.
Although grief, atonement and the misfortunes of love are deeply intertwined in the episodic trials and tribulations of its brave heroine, joy, wit and laughter are skillfully sewn into this Southern saga. The tumult of Reconstruction is evident at the ballots, in the work place and throughout the social order of the land. Thompson's research and talent of narrative make this a perfect pick for fans of accurate historical fiction.
Clever photography and appealing foot facts make Best Foot Forward: Exploring Feet, Flippers, and Claws, by German author Ingo Arndt, a pleasure to read. Using the structure of a two-page spread close-up of an animal foot and the question "Whose foot is this?, the answer appears on the next page along with other animals' feet that have similar purposes or capabilities. Some of the categories include feet that are best suited to digging (tortoises), climbing (chimpanzees) and swimming (seals). Facts about each of the featured appendages are included to whet the interest of young readers to further explore the lives of the animal.
The close-up photography of the feet is the most fascinating aspect of the book. Whether it be counting the individual tortoise scales and claws, or seeing a mole foot up close, many of these are feet that people rarely notice. The more commonly seen webbed feet of ducks and gripping toes of a gecko are enlarged to see all the detail that make those feet perfect for the animals' habitats. The most amazing foot featured is that of the kangaroo. Modified for jumping, this long, spring-loaded lever is a sight to behold when shown out of context. This book encourages animal-lovers to look beyond faces and other more obvious features to examine all facets of the creatures who share our environment. A final whimsy is the author's biography photo – of his foot!
Sylvie Mason's family life is anything but ordinary. Her parents earn a living exorcising tormented souls and traveling the country giving lectures on these experiences. Her older sister Rose rebels at every opportunity, and has a serious mean streak. There is also a possessed Raggedy Ann doll caged in her basement. Things aren't any easier at school where Sylvie faces constant ridicule from classmates as a result of the bizarre stories circulating regarding her parents. Then tragedy strikes one stormy night when her father and mother are gunned down in their church, which is where Help for the Haunted by John Searles begins. These senseless murders set the tone for this cryptic and eerie novel.
The story is presented from two different perspectives with chapters alternating in time between present day, and life in the Mason household before the murders. Searles authentically captures Sylvie's 14-year-old voice throughout the course of the novel, from her frustration with her sister and worry for her mother, to her overwhelming desire to say what people want to hear. This character driven story is also swathed with shadow and uncertainty as unexplained events keep the element of mystery growing. Searles joins the esteemed company of Laura Lippman and Martha Grimes in setting his suspenseful and creepy novel in a Baltimore County community. Readers will appreciate the many local Dundalk references and landmarks, which punctuate the story and lend it an air of authenticity. The mystery of what really occurred on the night of the murders drives the story to an exciting and astonishing conclusion. Help for the Haunted is a fascinating novel that puts a different spin on the traditional ghost story.
Sugar is a spunky 10-year-old living on the Wills' River Road Plantation in Reconstruction Mississippi. She is named after the cane she toils in and despises. Her father was sold when she was a baby, and her mother died two years earlier after years of brutal labor finally took its toll. It is 1870, and while slavery has been abolished for five years, questions and economic concerns remain for these freed men, women and children. Coretta Scott King Honor Winner Jewell Parker Rhodes brings this tenuous time to life in Sugar.
The Beales, fellow sugar workers, have become her surrogate grandparents, and the other workers are protective of Sugar as the only child in their midst, yet barely tolerant of her rambunctious ways. As the community dwindles in number, Mr. Wills, the owner, needs more help and brings laborers in from China which initially concerns Sugar and her friends. But Sugar is quickly intrigued by these men and longs to make new friends from a foreign land outside of River Road.
As Sugar develops friendships with Billy Wills, the owner's son, and the Chinese workers, she is exposed to worlds far different from her own. Billy lives a life of luxury, but is just a boy looking for adventures and a friend in Sugar. The Chinese men work hard but also share their traditional tales, food and toys. Rhodes deftly describes all of Sugar's sensory experiences, while offering a realistic portrait of her hard realities and the unique cross-cultural community created for a time on this Mississippi plantation. Sugar is a most appealing and memorable heroine who manages to muster enough courage to step away from the only world she's ever known in an effort to live her mother's dying words of: Do. See. Feel.

By Jason A. firstname.lastname@example.com Several local banks are participating in a month-long effort to raise money to fight childhood cancer. United Community Bank branches in the Southern Crescent have teamed up with CURE Childhood Cancer as part of September's commemoration of Cancer Awareness Month, a bank official said. CURE's program is designed to "raise money and raise awareness" of the disease's impact on children, according Pam Milling, manager of United Community Bank's branch at 4970 Bill Gardner Parkway, in Locust Grove. Milling said she was one of several bank employees who approached the bank's corporate officials earlier this year about funding cancer research. According to her, the primary reason she did so was in memory of her daughter, Terry, who died of cancer in July at the age of 12. Milling said donations are critical to finding cures for cancers affecting children. "Currently, only 2 percent of all federal funding for cancer research is directed at cancers that impact children," she said. "Still, cancer is the No. 1 disease killer of children in the U.S. Terry was battling her cancer until she died. In honor of her, we want to continue that battle." Since the beginning of the month, Milling said, United Community Bank locations in the Southern Crescent have raised more than $130,000 in donations for the fight against childhood cancer. The bank, which also has locations at 859 Eagle's Landing Parkway in Stockbridge and 865 Ga. Highway 20/81 in McDonough, will continue collecting donations through the end of the month, she said.

Awesome: Ys SEVEN
- After Adol is framed for murdering the King of Altago, he is sentenced to death by fighting in the Colliseum. He is pitted against a Titano class monster and expected to die, fitted with only a sword and a shield. Scias offers him a healing potion item to help him in his fight.
- What makes this battle awesome is that it harkens to the previous Ys games where Adol battle would against powerful bosses solo, and in Seven's case, the battle is set to the Crossing Rage theme making the fight even more awesome. Bonus points if you manage to win the fight without using the healing item.

Sony Open doubles win gives Hingis first title in 7 years
Switzerland's Martina Hingis walked away with a share of the women's doubles championship Sunday at the Sony Open in Key Biscayne, Florida, winning her first title in seven years on the WTA Tour.
The 33-year-old Hingis, former world No. 1 who quit tennis after testing positive for cocaine, and Germany's Sabine Lisicki defeated the Russian team of Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 4-6, 6-4, 10-5 in Sunday's doubles final at the Crandon Park Tennis Center.
Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam champion, retired after testing positive for cocaine at Wimbledon in 2007 and receiving a two-year suspension.
She resumed playing doubles last summer, coaching and teaming up with Lisicki on the tour.
The Sony Open is one of the biggest hard-court events on the ATP and WTA calendars.

Intimate Escapes
By STEPHANIE LYNESS
Published: November 9, 2003
THOSE of us who are romantic types cling to the fantasy that there are still lovely spots, as yet undiscovered and not too far from home, where we can escape for a quiet weekend in the country. Like M.F.K. Fisher, we'll eat simple but delicious food in sweet local restaurants within walking distance of our charming, inexpensive hotel.
I gave up trying to live a romantic life when I realized that it wasn't much fun. You're pining after some guy, traipsing around bleak landscapes looking for a nice hotel, and your luggage is too heavy. After years of experience and plot development, I've figured out that what you want to do is to play at romance. And that requires a lot of practical thinking.
Recently, I got some help with the practical part when I ran into marketing on the Web for an area of northeastern Connecticut that has been dubbed ''the Quiet Corner.'' It promises the romantic fantasy: a beautiful, relatively unpopulated area, little traveled by tourists, with historical interest, quaint restaurants and cute bed-and-breakfasts.
My first stop was the town of Pomfret, and Celebrations Inn, a bed-and-breakfast. A B&B would not have been my first choice - I don't like them as a rule. It's a question of style: I'm looking for a place with a lot of privacy, which B&B's typically don't have. You're in someone's house; they are in fact hosting you and that demands a certain amount of generosity and friendly interaction on the part of both host and guest. Call me curmudgeonly, but I'm usually down on my reserves of both qualities by the time I go on vacation.
I also want a room with a seating area where I can hang out comfortably with my main squeeze if it rains -- my own room, not the kind of communal area that B&B's usually provide for that purpose. I also want a view of a good enough restaurant within walking distance or in the lodging place itself and some access to the outdoors, perhaps a garden or a deck, or a quiet road nearby for walking. My preference is therefore for a hotel that is small enough to have character, but large enough to house a restaurant. (There is at least one small hotel in the area - the Inn at Woodstock Hill - but by the time I checked in early September, weekends were booked into November.)
Celebrations Inn walks the line quite elegantly between small hotel and B&B with just enough formality to suit me. It is a large, very pink Victorian house on Route 169. There are several rooms; those that I stuck my head into were reasonably large and pretty without being fussy or precious. (Rooms are $125 to $175 a night, double occupancy; there is often a two-night minimum on weekends.) The hosts, Jean and Bill Barton, are friendly and professional, and not intrusive. There is a garden out back with interesting corners to explore. The Bafflin Nature Sanctuary, an Audubon Society Preserve, is a short walk or drive down the road. Most of the trails are about a mile long; the trail we walked, Beaver Pond trail, was a gentle walk through woods and fields, with information about the birds posted along the way. (The inn can give you a trail map).
A few minutes up the road, you can get a friendly lunch or dinner at the Harvest in a large, pretty Colonial house. There are several small dining rooms, including an enclosed porch - ask for a room with a fireplace. The food is continental and Japanese; this unusual combination worked surprisingly well for our dinner here. The gyoza were what you would expect from these dumplings and my sautéed shrimp pasta was well cooked, tasting of garlic, white wine and lemon. A specialty of the restaurant is steaks.
Also close to the Harvest and Celebrations is the Vanilla Bean Cafe, which is reminiscent of a 60's coffee shop, where Arlo Guthrie might have played. I was in there only for coffee; people have told me that the sandwiches and breakfasts are very good.
But my favorite place to eat in this area is Sharpe Hill Vineyard, also an easy drive from Pomfret, although a little hard to find. This small restaurant in a faux Colonial barn serves good, solid food and wine in sight of the vineyard. . Meats and fish grilled over a wood fire are delicious here and desserts are beautifully done; or have the cheese plate for dessert with the dregs of your wine. You can do a formal wine tasting -- the vineyard produces eight varieties -- before or after the meal if you like. Or buy wine by the glass during the meal and drink something different with every course.
I recommend lunch -- I almost always do -- so that you can enjoy the place in the light. After lunch, we came across a trailhead off Route 97, just opposite Kimball Road, marked H.E. Preston Sanctuary Nature Preserve. I didn't have the time to explore the trail that day but I wished that I had; it had a deliciously private feel, as if perhaps no one else had ever been there. A call to the Joshua's Tract Conservation and Historic Trust revealed it to be a one-mile walk through upland meadows and woods.

About this Business
From Our Editors
The Flour Pot Bakery contains a mélange of culinary influences at what appears to be a seemingly straightforward bakery. The team uses two-thirds of the 2,200 square-foot space solely for the production of handmade french, italian, and swiss breads, Jewish challa, tahitian mousse, and of course, Florida citrus brioche. Every drop of water is filtered before its added to the unbleached, unbromated, premium flour, and the crew limits the amount of sugar in its recipes, save for decadent favorites such as éclairs and triple-layer chocolate cakes. Though the shop's case primarily displays sweet treats, lunch and breakfast has a place in the bakery as well. Croissants and the shop's signature bread sandwich everything from eggs and ham to turkey and tuna, which customers can enjoy within the sunny café, or take to the local farmer's market, grocer, or misguided Mars rover.

Know your neighbors, too; while you may be expecting someone to come around with a plate of cookies to welcome you, try flipping the paradigm and going around to introduce yourself around your block. Your neighbors are the ones who will be looking out for you, watching your animals while you're gone, keeping you up to date on what's happening around town, and establishing friendships with your family. Make it clear that you're aware you're new to the area and have a lot to learn, and that you're ready to learn from them.
Before you plunge into local politics and debates, from discussions about zoning to elections, be aware that every town has its own history, and you should learn it before you get involved. Locals often resent what they see as intrusion by uninformed outsiders, and if you can be seen but not heard at these meetings while you learn about what's going on and the history behind it, you'll impress locals with your dedication to getting to know the community before offering your opinion.
Before you advocate for a new coffee franchise, for example, think about the local businesses that might be affected, and the people who might oppose the franchise. Learning about the reasoning behind positions that might seem idiosyncratic or nonsensical to you will help you understand the community — and — perhaps propose solutions that meet local needs.
Taxes can also be a sore spot with locals, especially in the case of people with second homes. If you're only visiting a community periodically, you may not be paying much more than property taxes, even though you expect to use local resources while you're there. Get a leg up with the locals by shopping locally, using local services, and getting your face known around the community. In exchange for your willingness to contribute financially and socially, you'll build lasting relationships that will come in handy, especially if you're planning to retire to your second home eventually.
Above all, stay humble. You might think you know a community well, but you don't know it as well as third-generation locals or even people who've been living there for thirty years or more. Get ready to face a steep learning curve, and if you stick with it, you might become a local one day yourself.

|Love this venue, love this race, and love the lobsta!!!!!!
|The aid station volunteers at this event really are top notch! They were great at packet pick up as well!
|loved the race & venue.
|So many…! -Lobster finisher food (I shared with a friend and it was awesome ). -Glow run was a nice touch for families -The bike course was so much fun! Just strenuous enough and loved the rolling downs -Finisher tee was great! Love that it was long sleeve and red, a nice change -Location, location, location! I loved the venue for all the things you can do and it felt like a vacation vs just a race. -Host hotel being so close to transition
|The venue is great! The area is super supportive of the race!
|The post race food this year was far better than last year's sandwiches! Thank-you !
|great venue. awesome volunteers. great race atmosphere and I liked the course. Would definitely return next year if it works with the race schedule… may even have to plan around it/make it work.
|Good aid stations, bike course change was GREAT so we didn't have to go on that tiny bridge this year.
|It was my first half, everything was great! Last year finisher shirt was awful :-) this year he was really cool…. overall a great experience and i will be there next years…
|Bike course eliminated the really rough parts from last year – great move. Keep it the same! Mobile app tracking was great for at home friends and family.
|Had a great time.
|Thank you for making the Sunday a.m. pre race transition times more favorable for the Oly racers. Given the cost of the race and commitment to training for the distance, please add more swag to our bags. I really enjoyed the goggles we got year 1 and still wear mine regularly including in the swim this year. Please consider small marker buoys on the swim between the larger yellow ones. As large as the yellow buoys were, they were hard to see and sight on from water level. The bike course was well marked and traffic was well controlled. I liked having my name on my run # bib and my transition spot. The run was also well marked and traffic was well controlled. I liked the water stops. Volunteers were enthusiastic. As a 'back of the pack' finisher it means a lot to be recognized and acknowledged . I enjoyed being acknowledged as I crossed the finish line. Is there a way that finishers can still be acknowledged while the awards ceremony is going on? I was lucky to finish before the Oly pro and a/g awards were presented, but for those finishers who came in while the announcer was presenting, there was no acknowledgement of them crossing the finish line. The post race food was better this year. I'll back for #3 next year.
|Best thing to happen to Old Orchard Beach…EVER. post race tacos were amazing
|the setup of the transition area is great. it's very organized and fair.
|The staff and volunteers are exceptional and very helpful. The post race food is delicious and well-planned. The aid stations and the selection of drinks/gels, etc were top notch. Thank you for making yet another year a wonderful race experience !
|great volunteers
|The marking of the courses are great and the amount of aid stations through out the course is great. Everyone is more than help full and happy to help. If they dont have the answers they help you find the answers instead of just saying I dont know. That goes a long way. I am not a pro but I get pro treatment.
|The volunteers were exceptional!!! Staff is friendly and very helpful. Race announcer was awesome.
|REV3 Maine Triathlon is awesome and the best run triathlons I have participated in. Everything always goes smoothly and is a well organized. Post race food this year was much better than last year. Finish line is always a good time, and glad that everything is pet friendly. Also, the course is very spectator friendly. My mom and I both participate (she finishes 2 hours after me), and my wife, dad, and in laws are able to see us both on all 3 legs of the course Really makes it a better experience for them. Looking forward to a few more REV3 Maine Triathlon courses next year – think I will give the Poconos a try since I'm from New Jersey!
|most other aspects of the race were perfect. no issues with logistics and the race itself. volunteers were great and both them and the crowd were very encouraging . race info well communicated in the athlete guide. Thanks for a great race.
|Overall, a great race and a great organization. This is the premier race in Maine tri season.
|You guys are absolutely awesome! I had the pleasure of convincing one of my teammates to race Rev 3, and while telling him every fantastic experience I've had with Rev 3, I also stated, "Ironman better watch out." I've had a pretty rough year, and everybody on Rev 3's team did whatever they could to help me out and answer my questions. I also appreciate that every time I contact a Rev 3 member, I get a reply within 30 mins. Rumor has it you guys are coming to MY home state next year to host a race in the Pocono's. I can't wait!!!! Thank you for everything!! Maybe one day I'll get to race in some Revolution 3 gear of my own!!!!
|Great race, great people. Swim goggles were everyones favorite and great advertising for Rev 3. Everyone knew you did a REV3 Maine Triathlon event with wearing the orange blue-seventies . This helped promote your event. Big disappointment when not included, I did Quassy and Maine.
|Very family orientated – love the family finish – that is the best part of the race . I have raced IM Corp races and feel as though it is to Corporate – REV3 Maine Triathlon gets the fact that it is about the age group athletes. Love REV3 Maine Triathlon and will race again
|Your staff an volunteers rocked, as usual, I love REV3 Maine Triathlon!
|Thank you for the post race meal, that was much better than the first year ! I was a bit disappointed with the swag bag. Last year was great with googles… I got some one my 3th place anyways !! The red Shirt is awesome and so is the Gatorade towel and cap. The bike course seems more secure than last year and policemen were great !
|Well run/organized event. I stayed with family in the area. Keep the event in Maine , I will compete again. Liked the kids zone.
|it was a nicely run race!!
|1. Practice swim on Saturday was helpful. 2. Good prizes for age group winners. 3. Nice volunteers.
|Great volunteers. Food was much better this year.
|Volunteers and Staff were amazing!! Such high energy and encouraging to all! It 's always a blast racing with REV3 Maine Triathlon
|Great race absolutely loved it! I will be back next year for sure!
|Wonderful volunteers at all the aid stations!!
|Course is fast, flat & fun. I have family in maine and vacation in maine so it was a great venue for me (other than the parking). REV3 Maine Triathlon always does a great race , i also did Quassy, which was also fun but a lot more hilly & painful.
|Love Rev 3 events, volunteers and staff were all very supportive and positive, loved the energy and support on the course!
|Traffic control and course markings were excellent.
|all 3 race courses should stay the same
|Expo and transition were good! Swim course was amazing. Yeah it was tough, but wow what a place to race! The bike course was really pretty though please warn people its rolling the whole way. Waves was an amazing hotel and a great choice as the host hotel. The volunteers were beyond amazing!
|I LOVE this race site! It's fun, the ocean is so pretty in the morning, and I know OOB is really excited to have the race there. I think the volunteers/organization /aid stops were perfect. I had a great time–. It's a fantastic race. Thank you.
|The great food after was amazing. Your information station was very helpful and knowledgeable. Announcing was easy to hear…the speaker system was of good quality . Nice finish line atmosphere.
|Just keep the general quality of the event, it was cool and easy (not the race, the event !)
|Great organization and atmosphere.
|Best post race food ever! The expo tent had some limited products for sale, could use some more variety. Didn't see a massage therapist before/after but loved the use of Normatec boots! Volunteers and staff were awesome!
|Excellent mood of the volunteers. The organisation was very nice (taking our bags , registration on the site, athletes meeting, prices for the winners). It was my first participation to a REV3 Maine Triathlon and it's not gonna be the last!
|Bike course and run course were awesome! Don't change a thing! Also, this was by far the best group of voulenteers I've seen at any race. They were so nice, encouraging and outgoing.
|Organization and volunteers are great
|More goodies :)
|This is the 3rd Rev (2nd Maine) that my boyfriend and I have done and we are hooked . It is the most professional race that either of us have ever done and every person that we came into contact with was kind, generous and helpful. We also have young kids and it is great to do races that accomodate them and provide so many activities . We are super thankful for that and cannot wait for our little guys to say that they completed their first Rev when they are ready!
|5 isn't nearly high enough of a score for the volunteers and race staff. They were amazing and really made the difference between a long hard day and an awesome experience that has me wanting to come back every year. I can't comment on the post race food since I didn't get to the finish line in time to get any. I did have some trouble with my timing chip not reading but the staff onsite was great when they helped my girlfriend get my splits.
|It was my first 70.3 and was a great experience, I didn't finish last but was close , I will be there next year. You guys put on a great race.
|Great event. Thanks for all your effort. Couldn't make the glow run, but would like to see that next year.
|The physical set up of transition / HQ is pretty perfect. Enthusiasm of spectators , volunteers etc…was great. The courses were really nice. Announcers were awesome .
|The entire race experience was phenomenal and one I will never forget. It was my first half ironman and it certainly won't be my last! I really liked that our names were printed on our bibs so people could cheer us on. It was re-energizing hearing your name being called out during the race. Thank you for such a great experience overall and thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.
|Volunteers were awesome ! Great venue , very organized .
|If you guys can put races like that every time that would be super great.
|I highly appreciated the help of the whole staff, volunteers and policemen along the race and their fabulous good mood ! Also appreciated the free picture
|Best traffic control on the bike course that I have ever raced on!
|Overall a fantastic experience. The volunteers were amazing!
|All good. Don't change a thing.
|Lobster Bake was great (make more clear in the sign up process that all people – include the athlete – need to purchase the extra ticket).
|Swim bike run was very good! I liked the option of having shoes or not out of the water. Police presence was very good and well patrolled keeping cars out.
|Overall it's a race, some things will not change and not everyone will be happy. It's a long walk to the swim so it would be nice to see REV3 Maine Triathlon post how far that walk is to prepare folks. The swim & bike were great, I would come back if the run was changed but if the same run course I'll pass.
|This being my first triathlon ever I was very nervous about getting in other veteran racer's ways and disrupting someone elses race, also seeing as I was one of the youngest ones there as well. However that wasnt the case at all everyone; volunteers , other racers, and REV3 Maine Triathlon staff were so supportive. It became an experience of a lifetime and has gotten me hooked on triathlons. Thank you from the bottom of my heart as this was more than a race to me, as I ran to keep my late fathers memory alive. I can't wait to be part of the Age Series next year.
|I really enjoy the REV3 Maine Triathlon event in OOB. The staff was great, the support was great , the volunteers were great and the course was excellent. I would highly recommend the race to my closet friends. I hope it comes back to OOB next summer. If so I am sure I will be there.
|I loved the race overall, from the swag, to the volunteers, to the geneeral atmosphere of the race. I think the course was very well marked and the aid stations were right on. The volunteers were so friendly and motivational. Thank you for a great race!
|Great race! This was my first REV3 Maine Triathlon. I was really impressed with the quality and general vibe of the event. One of the most well organized races I've participated in. I wish my kids had come because it seems very family friendly as well. Also , gave me an excuse to come to Maine.
|The volunteers were fantastic.
|The staff and volunteers were just incredible. Race day can be so overwhelming and I was so relaxed thanks to everyone. The course was great and most of all extremely safe. I cannot wait to do another REV3 Maine Triathlon event.
|Great race!
|Everything was amazing. Numerous aid stations, super course, great volunteers, woohoo !!
|The aid stations were really great. I did the half and there were plenty of them , they were always well stocked, and the volunteers were organized and very nice . All of the logistics for the race were also very well organized – packet pick up was very easy, transition area was great. The course was very well marked. All of those factors made for a GREAT race and would make me do a REV3 Maine Triathlon tri again.
|Great staffing on the bike course.
|Overall, great race. Really excellent support and beautiful location. Definitely looking forward to racing again with REV3 Maine Triathlon soon.
|The food selection at the run aid stations was great. The enthusiasm of the volunteers was infectious. Transition area not on grass is great. There were a lot of good points for spectators to see their racers with the way it was set up. The color coding for bike and run are a wonderful idea. I loved that all male swim waves were ahead of the women.
|The race was very well organized and the bike course was well patrolled which made the portion through the town easy to navigate.
|All the staff and volunteers were awesome. The transition area looked like for pros.
|Great change to the half-rev bike course this year !
|I had a blast. Made me feel like a pro!
|Swim course was a dream come true. Keep it exactly as it is!
|the staff is very friendly and outgoing. the glow run and movie were great. The music was great. atmosphere was great. love that I can finish with the family . appreciated the towel at the finish. I honestly don't know how you guys make a race so much fun. The distance is the same but the atmosphere is fantastic
|The aid stations with the ice cold beverages were great.
|I LOVE how the volunteers all knew everything that was going on. It was very helpful for my mother whom had never seen me in a race. The support on the course was phenominal !
|Beautiful course!! Great town. Great volunteers!!
|Again, my favorite race in a while. course was incredible, staff was even better . Transition area was huge for athletes. I am so happy with the race. Bike course was fast and fun. I have already singed up/put on my calendar 3 REV3 Maine Triathlon races for 2014. Keep up the great work.
|Love that you can run across the finish line with your kids. Great volunteers. Lil Rev adventure race was cool.
|The option to run to the finish with your family :)
|Bike course. Amazing security, and volunteers.
|Loved the bike route, run route, aid stations. Loved the glow run, great location .
|This was just an awesome experience all around. AND THERE IS SO MUCH SWAG YOU GET FOR PLACING!!! That was completely unexpected!
|Great experience and great staff
|The fans and volunteers were amazing and so supportive and friendly!!!!
|Great venue and expo, encouraging volunteers, this definitely won't be my last REV3 Maine Triathlon
|The guide sheet for the registration. The cold and wet towels at the end.
|Love the cold towels at the end. Very nice touch. Was so pleased to find "cold " water and gatoraid at all the water stations on the run. Nice touch as well. Very well done venue.
|very highly organized, race day was a great experience, volunteers were amazing!!
|The REV3 Maine Triathlon staff were amazing. They seemed to be everywhere and willing to take a second to answer a quick question. I watched 3 staff members assist the final triathlete across the final intersection (much after the cut off time) and they were just wonderful. Great staff is a true testament of an amazing organization .
|Loved the course especially to dirt trail on the run. Loved the Gatorade cold wet towels at finish line
|KEEP REV3 Maine Triathlon MAINE!
|Loved my first half ironman and will definitely do REV3 Maine TriathlonOOB again in the future! Loved everything from checking the bikes the night before to the tattoos to the course(s) to all of the friendly volunteers and police officers on the course. Race morning was so much less of a hassle knowing my bike was there and not having to get body marked and get my chip. Also, loved the new bike route, great improvement . Also, I have never racked my bike in a tri like the system you have. It was great. No fighting for space!
|I'm new to triathlons and this was my third overall, first 70.3 distance. I was the last person to exit the water and a wonderful man named Joe Strange swam next to me for the final 1/3 mile. He then rode with me until mile 28 when I passed my first person. His company, encouragement and racing tips were excellent and one of the highlights of the race for me. As the person who got to have someone stay with me for that portion, it was a blessing and I only got faster from that point on. Don't ever stop offering a last place buddy.
|I'm bias because I live in OOB and I've only Raced REV3 Maine Triathlon Olympic 2012 and REV3 Maine Triathlon Half 2013. I love the chance to Tri in OOB with REV3 Maine Triathlon. For me the experience is great and I've invited other Tri-athlete friends from away to stay at my house this year and will again next year. I need to win a free entry so I can go to another REV3 Maine Triathlon event prior to Maine. I will be turning 50, so I'm going to have a full calendar of races and experiences. I might be looking for a Full Tri at a reasonable cost and good venue.
|Volunteers were amazing!!! Best ever
|Great course (esp. bike), support and volunteers. I would recommend this race to anyone wanting a positive tri experience.
|ambiance ! big screen at the end of the race with the picture of the finisher !!
|This was a really fun, well organized event. I had a blast, as did my non-racing friend who came to support me. The lobster was a nice add-on!!! Alex was great with the bike and wheel rental – both in making the arrangements well before the race and for fitting and getting everything set up on Friday. THANK YOU ALEX!
|The volunteers were fabulous!!!!!
|People were cool and awards were cool. Music was good and emcee was good. Gatorade towel at finish line was a nice touch.
|The lobster bake was awesome!
|Excellent support from the police community. That always makes a Tri go smoother . Can't thank those men and women enough. During the briefings, why not use the big screen to show video of key intersections or danger spots on the course, overhead maps, googleearth fly-throughs, etc.
|While not always well informed, the Rev 3 staff is very friendly. Encouraging family /friends to join athletes in the finish shoot is great fun. Free finisher photos are excellent! Projecting athlete photos on the big screen is great (but only if it works…not working is worse than not having it). The Finish Shoot is really well done and makes for a great photo op and end to the event. Volunteers were great. Aid stations were great. Course marking was excellent. Best/most scenic run course ever! Overall good experience and I will race with Rev 3 again. Thank you.
|This was my second REV3 Maine Triathlon it was a much better venue than the quassey park CT. But the Quassy park had more hills so it was tougher. Your team did a great job. Keep up the good work
|The kids really enjoyed the Glow in the dark run and the little Rev experience. Good work
|I really liked the quality of the aid stations.
|Your volunteers were amazing, every one of them was as nice as could be.
|The bike course was awesome, it was so beautiful. The finish line was spectacular as well.
|Athlete Food an improvement from last year. Great partnership with SheJams and local charity support.
|You all put on great races – thanks for all the energy and enthusiasm!! It was very safe, too! All the turns were marked and volunteers were wonderful with directions . THANKS!!
|nice size race I liked running on the trail
|Very happy to see the bike mechanics since I needed a new tube the day before the race! Very happy to see the many water/aid stations on the run b/c that is my worst part of the event and that uphill killed me and I found myself needing more water than usual :) This was my first REV3 Maine Triathlon event and I'm raving to all of my friends about it. Super organized, great volunteers, awesome swag! (I love visors and a lobster tee? way cool!), great food at the end and the jumbotron was fun! In my 9 year span of doing races of all types this was the best overall, so THANK YOU!
|i wish i were only 75 years old and could race old orchard beach again and turn in an under 4 hrs, but i will count my blessings and will wish you all a safe and happy another rev 3 race season, and i know it will be a great 2014 because you all have that amazing revved up attitude that you all will make it happen and be a safe good race for everyone.
|Congrats!!! Rev 3 Maine is a great event and the spirit of the brand is awesome!
|course was great, aid stations in the right places and with the correct hydration and food.
|I thought the volunteers were all wonderful and the wheel rentals and bike tune ups were not only reasonably priced but friendly and helpful. The finishers medal and participants visors were very well done. The courses overall were very well marked and very well supported in my mind. I time and help manage over 90 events a year through various companies and was happy with this experience as a whole and hope to add Rev 3 Quassy to my race list for next year!
|The volunteers were AWESOME! I thought the course was excellent!! The registration was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly.
|As always, great aid stations. Great volunteers. Run course perhaps not start on such a direct uphill for so long. Bike course was gorgeous, loved it. Swim was cold but the course was great.
|Staff/volunteer were awesome Medal for leaders were INCREDIBLE – best medal I've ever gotten. So proud. Prizes for leaders also pretty great.
|I loved the rationalization with the race numbers, transition area, etc. It added a special touch, and it was encouraging to hear spectators yell out your name. I really liked the set up at the transition area as well. I was a little concerned about getting injured running barefoot on the long swim to bike transition but you did a good job at keeping the streets clean in that area. Although I chose to run barefoot, I liked that you offered an option for people to have their sneakers on the beach to have them accessible in case they chose to use them for the transition run.
|The swim warm up was so great, also allowing us in the water just befor our turn . It was cold but great once used to it. The run from the swim was ok, just had to get my mind around it, didn't use shoes & was fine. We will be returning as a group next year. Liked the 1/2 going on at the same time, nice to be around everyone. The fast riders in the 1/2 need to know to to be respectful when they join up with Olympic group & not ride over us. One group, all drafting with their disc wheels just about ran me over, another was so polite, called out, on my left & allowed me to get around a turn &'even thanked me as he passed
|The volunteers and staff were excellent! The whole race was in a great location. The bike and run course were very nicely shaded. I really enjoyed the whole race and am already planning for next year!
|Great experience but with regards to post race food maybe include some power bars and/or gels for those of us that don't use them during the race but use them after . Also, my wife and I appreciated the prayer service before the race since we were missing mass! Never experienced that at a race before. WELL DONE!
|The run and bike course were fabulous! They were partly shaded so I did not get a sunburn. I burn very easily and part of my post race recovery is recovering from sunburns even when I have reapplied sunscreen in T1 and T2. I did not have a burn after this event. I would definitely return to this race and recommend it to others .
|Great venue, volunteers and event. Love the transition area and the finish line !
|Loved OOB area! I really liked all courses. Warmer water next year, haha.
|I loved it all, I saw the end of the 2012 race I live in Saco ME and I said I want to cross that line in 2013, never did any tri before. trained in hotel treadmills and stationary bikes because I travel, then find a pool in different cities, ,never swam in my life, lots of anxiety. No sleep the night before. I will remember the ocean swim all my life, and walking out of the water to the swim finish. Thanks for it all.
|Great feeling of welcome from volunteers, excellent weather! ; ), Normatec recovery pants!!!! sHe Jams, Georges Parking lot showers! The awesome street tacos!!! The lobster tail medal you get for winning. (awesome perk!) Great shirts that look good and that I will actually wear. Gatorade wet towels! Tons of loot for winning!!! Great course!
|Race had a really fun vibe. Aid stations and volunteers were top notch. Loved the run course for both the beauty and your ability to keep tabs on friends and competition .
|This was my first 70.3 race and I loved the entire thing. the volunteers we great , well,organized race and good pre race meeting. Easy process getting checked in , went a lot faster than I had expected.
|Unparalleled pre and post race organization. Totally on your game.
|Good number of aid stations on the run and well located. Wet towels at finish line were amazing!
|I like the Kona style racks.
|The races that Rev 3 puts on are top notch! I really enjoyed being able to complete a practice swim in the water with support, especially with the water being so cold . Both of your announcers are fantasic as the spectators learn from then while the race is in progress. The course was well marked and fair. The jumbotron as well as the finishing photos that allow spectators is a nice finishing touch to the race. Your races are my favorite and the plan is to hit all of them at least once …
|I had a great time!!!
|Excellent staff and volunteers. You guys are the best. Practice swim was great.
|As much as I prefer bike racks than blocks in transition, I like how slots were assigned by AG and individualized. This is the 1st race I've participated in the I felt like an athlete and a person, not just a bin number. The staff and volunteers were amazing. The venue was spectacular and post-race activities were incredible ! Bravo! Kudos! Thanks for a memorable race experience!
|Thanks for staging one of the most professional, organized and efficient racing experiences I've had in 15+ years of endurance racing. REV3 Maine Triathlon's attention to both the big and small details is impressive. Will happily race with you guys again . Though, not at Old Orchard Beach (see comments above.)
|Practice swim the day before. The lobster bake was great! Free finisher photo was nice.
|Volunteers and staff were, GREAT! The organization and attention detail stood out . I will absolutely race REV3 Maine Triathlon again.
|I enjoyed the after race food, and I think it is great to get a finisher photo!
|-transition zone was imaculate -my best swim ever … felt safe. -smoth bike course. -run on gravel , loved it .
|The post race free food was much better this year. How about pretzels, oranges and other light snacks? Some people are not ready for a meal at 10:00 AM Thanks
|Free finish picture is awesome. Finish line is one of the best I've seen. Race start was very well organized. Post race videos were great. Safe & scenic bike and run courses with excellent traffic management.
|Very fun race, run course was awesome! (nice and flat, the part on the eastern trail was so nice on the legs!)
|My teammates and I had a fabulous time competing in the half iron relay division . Thank you so much for allowing relay teams. We will without a doubt be back again next year!!!
|Love the bike racks (no poles). Jumbo tron showed half my face missing. That was more funny than an issue.
|The REV3 Maine Triathlon put on a great event and I look forward to next year! Allowing family and friends to run across the finishing line with the athletes is a tremendous experience for all! Many times the family members support the athletes as they train for the events and this is a great way for them to join in and celebrate and show their pride for the accomplishments! Please continue to allow ALL to celebrate!
|Very well-organized and extremely friendly and helpful volunteers and staff.
|Great day overall! Very pleased with the race experience. Great mix of volunteers and staff, very friendly and happy bunch! Aid stations were excellent-well stocked and staffed- and I saw Carole out there cheering VERY LOUDLY and being very encouraging to everyone. She made me smile! Good food this year too! The tacos were excellent and there were options for all dietary needs. There was also a small snafu ( no start time so we showed up as DNS) with our waves timing chips but that was corrected VERY QUICKLY by timing. Impressive recovery on that!
|Ice was great!!! Another aid station along the no tree stretch of he run
|The volunteers and Rev employees were awesome and tremendously helpful. The event and transition area were both very well-run and professional, and the course was very enjoyable. I love the option for kids/family members to cross the line with the athletes too.
|Loved the whole weekend activities and professionalism of the race!
|Mile markers were excellent. Bike and run courses were spectacular….swim was just too darn cold.
|Great race, well organized. Updated info on bike course with accurate elevation data, run was off too but only by a couple of hundred feet.
|Enjoyed the whole experience – it was my 1st Olympic distance!! We stayed at our favorite campground Wagon Wheel and it was great racing in my favorite vacation spot!! The volunteers were great and the police helping us cross Rte 1 were wonderful !!
|Fantastic overall experience. With the possible exception of the NYC Marathon – this may have been the most well organised, fun event in a great location that I 've done. Course, administration, volunteers, aid stations, swag, transition/finish area were all great. My first REV3 Maine Triathlon event and i will seek out more.

Portland Creates Socially Responsible Investment Committee
Portland City Council voted Wednesday to establish a new committee to make sure the city's investments are socially responsible.
The committee will consider a half-dozen issues when making that decision. They include labor practices, environmental impacts, health impacts (for example, a weapons producer might have harmful effects on health) corporate ethics, extreme tax avoidance, and disruptive market dominance…
There is concern that limiting the city's investment choices could reduce earnings on those sums.

Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie says he'll back legislative efforts to expand voting ahead of Election Day, though he's not sure what form that would take. Voters can now cast absentee ballots ahead of time but they technically need to have 1 of a handful of valid reasons for voting early. More than 30 states allow some form of no-excuse early voting, with some polling places popping up as early as September. Ritchie says he's confident Minnesotans are ready to allow a longer voting window. He says early voting would probably boost turnout during busy election years and have more of an effect in off-year municipal elections. Minnesota regularly leads the nation in voter turnout, with more than 76% of eligible voters statewide casting ballots in 2012, and most local-area counties topping 90% turnout.

cheats | faqs | screens | forums | friendcodes
Game InfoIn the days before Mario and Luigi became sports stars in their downtime between plumbing and saving the Princess, they tried their hands as one-man wrecking crews. With a hammer as their only tool, players take control of the brothers and set out to destroy ladders, rip out pipes, knock out walls, and detonate explosive devices. But make sure to plan your path of destruction carefully, as each building is designed as its own clever puzzle—if you're not careful, you can easily trap yourself in a dead end! Adding to the excitement and challenge are fireballs, enemies, and an angry foreman roaming the buildings, all trying to stop you from moving on to the next stage. With 100 buildings to demolish and the ability to construct your own, it's a wonder Mario and Luigi ever got back to saving the Mushroom Kingdom!

I have made this dish twice already, and in addition to being very easy my 6 and 1 year olds absolutely loved it. My husband did as well. No need to change the recipe - made as is and it turned out great.flag if inappropriate
I added 1/2 cup chopped green pepper and used two slices of whole wheat bread for bread crumbs and added ketchup on top the last 30 minutes of baking. The meat loaf turned out absolutley wonderful!flag if inappropriate
found the final product much better if the tomato sauce is left out. Makes great sandwiches. Sorry Bea.flag if inappropriate
I used this as the base, and cut in some diced pepperoni. Half the mix went into the loaf pan, and then a layer of shredded mozerella, followed by the rest of the mix. Added a little marinara on the top, and garnished with pepperoni slices. Made for a nice dish.flag if inappropriate
I used 1 lb hot Italian sausage (pork), 1 lb ground turkey breast, and Italian bread crumbs and LOVED the result. Delicious and incredibly easy! The only additional adjustment I'll make next time is to decrease the salt to 1/2 tsp. This recipe is a total keeper.flag if inappropriate

Was looking forward to a great stay in Dreamland (my favourite beach), but was a little disapointed.....
Having come from a lovely hotel in Nusa Dua was expecting a little more than this offered. The first disapointment was the small rooms and
tiny bathroom. All rooms have a deck but its just too hot to sit in the blazing sun. The hotel is badly designed as there is no relief from the sun. No lush tropical plants to sit amongst.
The pool area is equally as hot. At least you can get in the pool, which is very warm. But the worst feature is the VERY LOUD music which they play all day at the pool. We just couldn't relax and read quietly. We had to go out to get any peace.
True this hotel is situated very close to Dreamland and Bingin which is where we wanted to be. A short ride to Balangin, padang-padang and Uluwatu. So great surf is close!
But I wouldn't come here if I wanted to have a resort experience. The asian tourists that stay here sleep here and breakfast and leave on buses for tours. So it was empty during the day. At least we had the pool to ourselves after a full day beaching and surfing....
Some younger people were really disappointed to find that this hotel is one, sometimes two hours taxi ride away from the real Kuta!!!!! So a night out becomes a real undertaking.....

Anyone who has used jQuery with .NET web applications has more than likely ran into problems where changes made on the client via jQuery don't necessarily persist to the web server during a postback (because of viewstate, security, etc.).
My scenario: I have a GridView with two different ASP.NET dropdowns. One of the dropdowns is populated during the page_load, while the other is left blank. The one that is left blank is populated like thus: when the user selects an item in the first dropdown it fires off an event that uses jQuery ajax to retrieve data from the web server, and this data is then returned to the client and populated into the second dropdown. It's all elementary, and easy and smooth to boot. I love it.
However, what I don't love is the fact that when the user selects an item in the 2nd dropdown (after it has been populated by a jQuery ajax call) and clicks the Save button (which causes a postback) then the dropdown selection comes up empty on the server end (which essentially means the server has no idea that the dropdown had items in it or that a user had selected an item in it). Obviously, this has to do with the fact that the dropdown is empty in the viewstate, and I fully realize the why behind this, but it leaves me very frustrated at trying to mix jQuery with .NET.
So my question is this: How do I go about using jquery to populate an ASP.NET dropdown and have the items in it persist through postback?
Thanks for the help!

Toledo Molding & Die, Inc. was founded in 1955 as a model and pattern shop. Since its establishment, TMD has grown from this modest beginning into an integrated Tier One and Tier Two supplier of HVAC, Powertrain, and Interior/Exterior components and sub-systems, with over 900 employees, 4 manufacturing plants, a highly sophisticated R&D center, test – more... lab, and tooling facility.
The continuing success of TMD is largely attributed to our recognition of and quick response to significant trends in industrial sectors. With the increase in merger and acquisition activity and the growing internationalization of suppliers, manufacturers are seeking out suppliers that build complete component systems for assembly. Large suppliers also increasingly want to work with fewer toolmakers to supply the content for a complete interior system.
To meet these demands, TMD, both as a Tier One and Tier Two supplier, works closely with customers to supply complete systems which come fully assembled and ready to install. We work closely with our customers as partners, starting at the earliest stages of product planning and development. – less–ZoomInfo

KDevelop 4.0 Released
After three years the KDevelop team has completed the general rework of the integrated development environment with release of stable version 4.0.
The KDevelop team, by its own admission, has been concentrating on getting a good environment for C++ programming, including code navigation, syntax checking and autocompletion. The Qt GUI toolkit provides special support for the signal slot mechanism.
