Over the last three weeks, there has been heated debate at public hearings and in our letters to the editor section about a proposal that will open the door for the former Luther Crest Bible Camp property on Perkins Lake to be reopened as a commercial venture. In brief, B&H Holdings, co-owned by Jon Backman, Ben Hentges, Peter Hentges and Jackie Hentges, would like to amend Stevens County's zoning ordinance to allow for a new zoning district for commercial development along shoreland.
Margaret Kuchenreuther is a planner. Since moving to Morris in 1991 to take a job teaching biology at the University of Minnesota, Morris, Kuchenreuther has volunteered with groups and organizations working to build a long-term plan for the community. This month, Kuchenreuther, associate professor of biology, was recognized for her long-term commitment to community engagement as the only University of Minnesota faculty member to receive the 2012 University of Minnesota Outstanding Community Service Award (OCSA).
By Kim Ukura Sun Tribune The Stevens County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on a proposed change to the county's zoning ordinance and a request to rezone a 53 acre property on Perkins Lake to allow for commercial development at their meeting on Tuesday. The request from B&H Holdings is to rezone the property previously owned by Luther Crest Bible Camp to a commercial site. The owners hope to rent out the existing pavilion and cabins for weddings, family reunions and other events.
MORRIS, Minn. - At their meeting Monday, the Morris Area School Board considered a draft copy of a 10-year facilities plan developed by ICS Consulting, which includes a breakdown of potential projects for the elementary school, high school and bus garage, as well as a set of miscellaneous projects to consider. "I think it's a really good starting point for us," said Superintendent Scott Monson. The draft plan includes more than $7.25 million in potential projects over the next 10 years.
MORRIS, Minn. - The Morris City Council formally approved a logo to be used for marketing and tourism efforts in Morris at their meeting on Tuesday based on a recommendation from the Tourism Board. The logo was one of three recommendations to come from the tourism board at Tuesday's meeting. The approved logo is not the original logo prepared by HBH Consultants, a firm hired by the city last year to develop tourism communications plan. Instead, the approved logo was designed by Superior Industries after discussions about the logo at the Tourism Board's meeting in March.
MORRIS, Minn. - The decision to move forward with a renovation to Morris Auto Plaza's 1960s-era building took seven years to make, but in the end made sense for Joel Krusemark and his family. "Our facility was extremely outdated," said Krusemark, president of Morris Auto Plaza. "It was in desperate need of some updating." Although Krusemark had been looking into a building renovation since 2003, General Motor's 2009 restructuring and resulting plan to create a consistent brand across its dealerships helped move the renovation from idea to action.
MORRIS, Minn. - Preliminary data from the first two testing periods of a new assessment tool indicates that Morris Area students are ahead of the national average in math and language arts, but are not growing at the same rate as the national average. Sarah Suchy, AYP Coordinator and Reading Specialist with Lakes Country Service Cooperative, presented the Morris Area School Board with results from the Northwest Evaluation Association's Measures of Academic Progress, a new assessment implemented this year to help give more immediate and specific feedback about student achievement.
Despite voiced opposition from many local landowners, the Stevens County Planning Commission has recommended amending the Stevens County Zoning Ordinance to add a new shoreland commercial designation and re-zone property on Perkins Lake to allow for development of property previously owned by Luther Crest Bible Camp. The request to amend the zoning ordinance was submitted by Ben Hentges (B&H Holdings), the owners of the property at 45456 140th Street in Donnelly, Minn.
MORRIS, Minn. - Democrats in Districts 12 and 12A have selected their candidates to run in the election in November. DFL activist John Schultz ran unopposed for the Senate District 12 nomination at the DFL endorsing convention at Minnewaska Area High School on Thursday night. Schultz, of Correll, is a former investment banker and cattle farmer. Schultz told the assembled delegates that he has three principles for his campaign - good jobs, health care and education. He also called for honesty when it comes to taxes and education funding.
MORRIS, Minn. - The Stevens County Board of Commissioners awarded three construction contracts to Riley Bros Construction, the low bidder in each case, for summer road work at their regular meeting on Tuesday. Bids on all three projects were opened last Wednesday, April 11, and after compiling all of the information, it was apparent that Riley Bros was the low bidder on all three projects, said County Engineer Brian Giese. The bid for the first project, an improvement to Highway 9 in Alberta, from Riley Bros was $520,600, about $23,000 less than the estimated cost of the project.

Louisiana State running back Jeremy Hill (33) dives into the end zone for a touchdown against Alabama on Saturday in Baton Rouge.
- Filed Under
BATON ROUGE -- In a Bowl Championship Series championship mindset, Louisiana State's football season ended Saturday for all practical purposes with a 21-17 loss to No. 1 Alabama.
Four teams remain undefeated and at the top of the BCS rankings in Alabama, Kansas State, Oregon and Notre Dame at 9-0 while LSU now has two losses.
It might be over from a BCS bowl perspective, too, although there is still a chance that the 7-2 Tigers, who are No. 7 in the BCS rankings, could reach the BCS Sugar Bowl even with Georgia (8-1) and Florida (8-1) ahead of them in the BCS at No. 5 and 6, respectively. ...

text: Elusive Russian death metal act Abominable Putridity exploded onto the slam scene in 2012 with the release of their celebrated record The Anomalies of Artificial Origin. Featuring vocals from Pathology's Matti Way, the record was expertly crafted brutal death metal that was strangely catchy, bringing slam to a new audience of listeners. In the years since then, the only thing that has come out of the Abominable Putridity are seemingly annual re-releases. It should come as no surprise that 2015 will see a re-release of Anomalies as well, but there's some good news: the band have signed to Unique Leader records, who will not only host the latest pressing of Anomalies, but will be releasing the band's long-awaited follow-up in 2016.

I'll agree with that--the wackiness totally turned me off Xena and Hercules.

I like that this is more serious in tone.
That's like saying you don't like Neapolitan ice cream because of the constant strawberry flavor. That's just one part of the whole.
Legend of the Seeker
is more serious than H/X's comedy, but a lot less serious than H/X's drama. It's not more serious overall, just more vanilla.
Actually, I
like Neapolitan because of the strawberry flavor. It totally messes with the chocolate and vanilla, and it's all you can taste. Blech! Even though I like the vanilla and the chocolate, why would I waste my money on a thing that I will not enjoy 1/3 of?* I would just buy the chocolate or the vanilla and enjoy the whole tub, right? So yeah, I'd equate that with my feeling on Hercules, Xena, and LoTS almost perfectly. You don't like LoTS, I do--it's the chocolate for me. I find the tone more enjoyable. It's my Saturday afternoon treat.
No biggie. Different strokes, and all that.
*Sorry, terrible grammar, I know.
ETA: Any thoughts on how they will resolve this season? I am wondering if they will stretch out the main plot points of the book (ie the mission to kill Rahl) over all the seasons, or if that will resolve earlier on and they will diverge onto new ground in later seasons. I haven't read the books, so I really don't know how much ground there is to cover or if there is a continuing storyline after the initial quest (or even if/how it is resolved) or not.
Thank god for weird people.

There are 62 reviews of Diorissimo.
This was my first fragrance after I finished college and started my first job. A man I worked with said "that's not for a young girl you need something for a young girl". To me, Diorissimo screams young Victorian girl. Men were so chauvinistic back then. What was I suppose to wear at 23? Tinkerbell? Little Lady from the children's department. I ignored him and kept wearing this until I used up the entire bottle. By then I was on to Shalimar and other things.
A few years ago I smelled it on someone and once again fell in love. It still makes me feel very young heart and just screams springtime which is my favorite season. The lilly of the valley is very strong and may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Usually wear this in the early spring and summer.
Pros: Beautiful floral that smells young at heart.
Cons: Almost too floral to some but not me.

Surface isn't the only Windows RT tablet going on sale this week: Dell's XPS 10 officially starts sales on Friday, though it's actually for purchase now on Dell's site. (It won't ship until mid-December, so don't get too excited.) The tablet starts at $500 for the 32GB tablet by itself, which is right in line with Microsoft's Surface pricing. The 64GB model is priced at $600. Interested in that optional keyboard dock? (Of course you are!) Dell is selling two bundles: one with the 32GB tablet for $680, and another with the 64GB one for $780. Though the keyboard comes at a premium, especially compared to Microsoft's Touch Covers, it offers some things Microsoft doesn't -- namely, a USB port, HDMI output and a built-in battery. Whichever model you choose, the XPS 10 has a 10.1-inch screen with 1,366 x 768 resolution and a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. While it has 10 point multitouch support on that IPS LCD, there won't be any kind of active pen or stylus tech built in. Hit up the source link for more info, and check out our fresh round of hands-on shots below.
Update: As some of you have pointed out, that $499 starting price includes a one-year service plan, valued at $100.
You can opt out of this plan and get the standalone tablet for $399.
Update 2: We've been in contact with Dell about some errors that apparently slipped through to their sales page, and have updated the specs above for the CPU, input support and warranty information. Also, that $499 price will stick, as the warranty cannot be deselected. Check out the PDF linked below for the correct specs until the Dell site is properly updated.

Aquapac: Waterproof cases for iPhone 3G
updated 04:15 am EDT, Thu June 19, 2008
Aquapac cases for iPhone
Aquapac this week announced that its established line of 100% waterproof durable polyurethane cases for first generation iPhones, are also an ideal match for the iPhone 3G. Promising full protection of the iPhone in any season or weather condition, the company says the cases enable full use of the iPhone's multi-touch display, as well as enable sound to pass through from the speaker (or to the microphone). Three sizes of Aquapac case suitable for the iPhone are currently shipping: the action-sport ready Small Armband Case with velcro strap ($35), Mini Phone/GPS Case ($25) and Small PDA Case ($25).
All Aquapac cases feature the 'Aquaclip', a shatter resistant, sliding lever based polycarbonate seal, that provides for a water protection up to 15 feet below the water surface as well as full water buoyancy, while maintaining 'flip of a switch access' to the device inside. For added peace of mind, all three cases and the devices they protect, are covered by a three year global warranty.

Amid cuts in state funding and tuition hikes, college athletics programs are under the gun to fund themselves with earned revenue or produce winning seasons.
Bloomberg compiled data on 54 public universities, supported by tax dollars, with major athletic programs. In some cases, such as Rutgers University and Washington State University, the schools charge each student nearly $1,000 in fees to support athletics. While Rutgers spends more than almost any other school in the country, it ranks in the bottom 10 for return on investment.
The Bloomberg report pointed out that in the cases where athletic budgets are funded in part by student fees, the students do not get to vote on whether or not to raise or pay those fees.
According to the NCAA, 22 out of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision athletic departments earned a profit in 2010, and that number rose to 48 in 2011.
Look at the 15 public universities charging their students the most for college sports, the total amounts include student fees and funds directly and indirectly from the university:
Rutgers spends $28.5 million on athletics, including $9 million directly from students.
Oregon State spends $17 million on athletics, which breaks down to about $1,000 per student.
South Florida spends $16.6 million on athletics, almost entirely funded by student fees. South Florida's budget relies more on student fees to fund athletics than any other school in the Bloomberg report.
Maryland spends $15.9 million on athletics, which comes out to about $640 per student.
CU spends $15.5 million on athletics, or $625 per student.
Connecticut spends $15 million its athletic teams, which is $855 per student.
Cincinnati spends $14.7 on its athletics, which breaks down to $786 for every student.
UVA spends $13 million on its athletic programs, breaking down to $938 for each student.
Washington State drops $11.5 million on college sports, or $781 per student.
The ASU Sun Devils collect $10.7 million from the University, breaking down to $227 per student.
The Louisville Cardinals get $10.1 million from the university or $636 per student.
California in the PAC 12 conference spends $10.5 million on athletics, including $2 million funded by students. Pictured: Sherry Lansing, chairman of the University of California board of regents, pauses as she speaks during a press conference following the University of California board of regents meeting in July 14, 2011.
Utah spends $9.4 million on the Utes or $401 per student.
UNC tosses $8.8 million at the Tar Heel athletics or $503 per student.

The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us
by James W. Pennebaker
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Interesting and helpful insight into the way that language unwittingly structured by our perspectives and our relationships in society. Unfortunately, the writing is not concise. The insights, good as they may be, are belabored. I kept finding myself wanting skip through the authors meandering thoughts in the hope of getting on to the next concept. Despite the affable title this is a scholarly work that just was not distilled down for the general reader.
James W. Pennebaker is a social psychologist who has spent a lot of time using computers to look for revealing patterns in people's written and spoken word use. He doesn't concentrate on the words you'd probably expect, though: the meaty, substantial nouns and verbs that convey most of the overt meaning of language. Instead, he finds subtler meanings in what he calls "functional words," all those little bits of language that hold sentences together but that we normally pay very little attention to, such as articles and prepositions.
Here's a small sample of his findings:
All of which is interesting stuff, and there are quite a few other intriguing tidbits in here, as well. Unfortunately, though, I didn't find the book as a whole nearly as fascinating a read as I'd hoped. Pennebaker may be an expert on other people's word choices, but I didn't necessarily find his own style all that gripping, and a lot of the examples he uses to illustrate his points aren't particularly great. The book also seems a bit padded in places. It's not really that long -- less than 300 pages, minus the end matter -- but it seemed to me it could have been a fair bit shorter without losing much.
I also wish he'd gone into some of his methodology a bit more. Obviously, this is a book written for the layman, not a scientific paper, but some of the things it does that annoy me could have been easily avoided. For instance, early in the book, there are a number of tables comparing what percentage of the time certain groups used certain words... but he doesn't always include the number of subjects in the study, which renders those numbers pretty much meaningless. And in the sections on personality and emotions, he makes some claims about how certain patterns of word use track with certain personality traits or emotional states, but, while he goes into detail about how the word patterns were measured, he often doesn't discuss how the presence of those personality traits or emotions were determined. In some cases, he almost gives the impression that it's based on nothing more than his own assumptions from reading the writing samples. Hopefully that's not actually true, but there's no way to tell. Fortunately, most of the rest of the book is better on that score, but since those sections come early on, it left me with a lingering mistrustful feeling I never entirely managed to overcome.
Still, while some of the conclusions seem much more solid than others -- which is probably inevitable in a squishy field like psychology -- and while Pennebaker might oversell some of his ideas a little bit, this kind of computerized word analysis does seem like an interesting and potentially useful tool, and some of the things he does with it are kind of nifty.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.The subject of language is one I enjoy, and I accept that it can often be very dry to read in book form, so I anticipated dryness before having picked Secret Life. Unfortunately, this was less a discussion of language and more a constant assault of anecdotal language psychology, the author regularly asserting how the use of a pronoun reflected some specific aspect of the person using it. I found the delivery of the information boring and frankly, my strong inner skeptic was constantly crying out for better data.
An interesting look at what subtext is provided by our choice of words. Ultimately the book is merely an academic exercise for those of us without multi-million dollar linguistic analysis software, but the learnings obtained from a linguistic analysis of many disparate sources including blogs and college admission essays, among other sources are fascinating to uncover. A little dry at times, it was an interesting enough subject to keep me pushing through to the end of the book.

Diplo in the dock
Chief Boima was invited to OPEN ARTI in Milan recently to talk about art and politics and to DJ. In the video of the event (above), Boima is joined by fellow DJ, Venus X (profiled here in The New York Times). AIAC gets some shout-outs. A lot of things get referenced: music and race, how we listen to music, Shakira, cumbia, hard style, LMFAO, David Guerra, Rihanna, etcetera. But the elephant in the room is Diplo, the famous DJ and tastemaker.

'We found love in a hopeless place'
The central point of this song and music video by violinist Lindsey Stirling (the singer is one Alisha Popat) begins with an invocation of a familiar trope: Africa is a hopeless place. But African love springs eternal. So much so that it saves and teaches privileged people from the west who arrive with fancy hopes of 'saving' picturesque Africans. And people love this kind of thing. By late last night this video had nearly half a million views since it was first posted on Youtube on Monday, May 7.

Go figure.

The White House is pushing new government spending to "spur economic growth," protect manufacturing plants and "create good-paying jobs" to help America's middle class. Yet across the country, with aggressive lobbying by the White House itself, Democrats are working to destroy tens of thousands of good-paying jobs and the firms that created them. Assault rhetoric has lasting real-world consequences.
In New York, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo imposed radical, ineffectual gun-grabbing measures that are backfiring in more ways than one. Nearly half a dozen gun companies have now announced that they will no longer sell their products to police in the Empire State. In protest of Cuomo's gun-control regime banning citizens from owning semi-automatic rifles or shotguns because of cosmetic features deemed "military-style," Washington-based Olympic Arms "will no longer be doing business with the State of New York or any governmental entity or employee of such governmental entity within the State of New York."
According to USA Today, other companies including "LaRue Tactical, York Arms, Templar Custom and EFI, as well as sporting-goods retailer Cheaper Than Dirt" have also joined the sales boycott of New York.
Worse news for New York citizens: At least one local manufacturer, the storied Remington Arms Company founded in Ilion, N.Y., in 1816, is in dire financial danger as a result of Cuomo's draconian regulations. The company's innovations in weaponry and ammunition have been used in sporting, self-defense, law enforcement and warfare for two centuries.
Now, as a result of hysteria-induced government pandering, nearly 40 percent of Remington's weapons can no longer be sold to citizens legally. Its small-town plant employs more than 1,300 people in a town of 8,000 and generates revenue of an estimated $400 million from sales in the U.S. and 55 other countries. As an Ilion local official noted, "Remington is not only a major employer, but it's a historic employer. It's been part of our very fiber for 200 years."

Been searching around for this for a couple hours, can't find anything which will do this correctly. When writing a string to a text file, a blank line is outputted at the end.
writeString = New StreamWriter(path, False)
writeString.WriteLine("Hello World")
This will write the following to file:
Hello World
(Blank Line)
I've tried removing last character of string (both as regular string with
varString.Substring(0, varString.Length - 1) and also as a list of string with
varList.RemoveAt(varList.Count - 1)) but it just removes the literal last character.
I've also tried using
Replace(vbCrLf, "") and many variations of it but again, they only remove literal new lines created in the string, not the new line at the end that is magically created.
Preferably, I'm seeking a method which will be able to remove that magical newline before the string is ever written to the file. I found methods which read from the file and then write back to it which would require Write > Read > Write, but in all cases the magical new line still appeared. :(
If it's important to note: The file will contain a string which may contain actual new lines (it's 'Song Artist - Song Title', though can contain other information and new lines can be added if the user wishes). That text file is then read by other applications (such as mIRC etc) of which output the contents by various means depending on application.
Eg. If an application were to read it and output it into a textbox.. the new line will additionally output to that textbox.. which is a problem! I have no control of the applications which will read the file as input considering it's the client which decides the application, so the removal of the new line needs to be done when outputted.
Help is appreciated~!

Andy Scott was delighted with the performance of the team against Bradford, although he admitted he was disappointed to not take all three points.
Speaking to the press following the late late penalty for Bradford, Scott said he believed the team battled incredibly well during the game and he can't fault any of them.
'When you come so close to winning and then concede a late equaliser it is a disappointment, but we have got to take positives out of it. We have got to look at this as a point gained in our quest to stay up. I couldn't fault any of my players, everyone has given their all.'
Scott continues to say that with Bradford's set up and with what they achieved in the Cup this year, it is a very good point for us and confidence should be taken by the players because it could've been all three ultimately -especially as injuries hampered us.

CustomerJason from Haymarket VA
Washer error code said control board($200.) but this web site said Door Lock and Switch assembly($80). Web site was correct, thankyou for saving me money and time for the real repair needed.
CustomerEleanor from Jekyll Island GA
I had called a repair man; and fortunately he never returned my call. After reading many of the reviews involved with the same problem, and wanting to use my washer, I decided it was easy enough to give it a try. And so it was. 2 screws in back removed the cover; and 2 screws in the front of the washer permitted the removal of the affected part. Removed three "plugs" from old; put them on the new part; replaced it back in the washer, and replaced the two front screws, which held it in place. Replaced top, securing with the two screws. And surprise - surprise -- the washing machine was working again! Your reviews were so helpful and encouraging --- that this really old lady decided to try it --- and like they all said "It was really easy to fix."
Time to do repair:30 - 60 mins
Customerdavid from edinboro PA
with the help of my nephew, we unstacked dryer after power sources were shutoff first. then simply removed the two screw attaching lid on washer. then removed two screws holding switch from front of machine. fished switch up to a visible area, exchanged bad for good. fed switch back to it's home,then reversed assembly procedures. these forums are great and have saved me money by enabling the repair both washer and dryer at a very reasonable cost without the need of a certified repair person.
Level of DifficultyEasy
CustomerPhilip from Jacksonville FL
easy repair. I went to the back of the washer and removed the two(?) screws that held the top panel on. Then moved to the front of the washer and unscrewed the two screws in the door frame holding the lock assembly. Pulled it up and out from the top of the washer and disconnected the three wire connections. Then I just reversed the process with the new part. It all worked great. This website rocks...PhilJax, FL
CustomerAnnie from Santa Clara CA
For some time, our washer's door was vibrating and making noise during the spin cycles. Then after washing a large blanket, the drum stopped spinning all together. I was able to slide the top of the washer off after undoing the screws in the back and then following the directions, found that the error code was for the washer door. The drum would not spin because it thought that the door was open, confirming what we thought, the door lock and switch assembly were bad.I was able to unscrew the assembly from the front, then reach down and after ordering the new part, disconnect the 3 cables, remove the old part then redo the cables on the new assembly and Voila...working washer, woo hoo!

L'Oreal Confirms 2011 Targets as Quarterly Sales Rise 1.8%
L'Oreal SA confirmed its 2011 targets after reporting third-quarter sales growth that met analysts' expectations, helped by demand for Kiehl's skincare and Lancome mascara.
Revenue at the world's largest cosmetics maker climbed 1.8 percent to 4.94 billion euros ($6.79 billion), the Paris-based company said today in a statement after the market closed. That matched the average of nine analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Excluding currency shifts and acquisitions, sales advanced 4.8 percent.
L'Oreal said it expects 2011 revenue to rise faster than the global cosmetics market as demand surges in Asia and predicted a gain in full-year profit, confirming an August forecast. New York-based rival Estee Lauder Cos. said last week that recent economic uncertainty hadn't significantly affected its business after quarterly sales rose 18 percent.
"We are tackling the last quarter with confidence" even though the situation remains difficult in southern Europe, particularly Greece and Portugal, L'Oreal Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Agon said in today's statement. The global market is growing a little over 4 percent, Agon said on a conference call with analysts.
Comparable sales at the luxury unit, whose products include Yves Saint Laurent and Giorgio Armani fragrances, climbed 8.8 percent. The increase reflects a "dynamic retail sales trend" amid the launch of new products such as Biotherm's Skin Vivo Uniformity anti-aging line, the company said.
Colossal Cat Eye
"Management's description of these results as good is stretching matters," Andrew Wood, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in New York, wrote in a note to clients. He has an "underperform" rating on the stock.
L'Oreal retreated 0.5 percent in Paris trading today, giving the maker of Maybelline make-up and Garnier deodorant a market value of 46.6 billion euros.
The company's biggest shareholders are the Bettencourt family, which owned 30.9 percent at the end of 2010, and Nestle SA, which had 29.7 percent. Liliane Bettencourt, 89, is mentally unfit, a French judge said last month in a ruling that turned over management of her interests to her daughter and grandsons.
Revenue excluding currency shifts and acquisitions rose 1.1 percent in western Europe, 4.6 percent in North America and 8.8 percent in so-called new markets, led by the Asia-Pacific region.
Like-for-like sales declined 1.5 percent in eastern Europe. "In the dismal economic context, which has left no country unscathed, consumer confidence is weak and markets are proving difficult," L'Oreal said, referring to the region.
Sales at the consumer-products division, L'Oreal's largest source of revenue, rose 3.4 percent on the same basis, aided by L'Oreal Paris Sublime Mousse hair colorant and Maybelline's Colossal Cat Eye mascara. The unit is gaining market share in North America, while the situation is gradually returning to normal in eastern Europe, L'Oreal said.
Comparable sales at the professional products division, which supplies treatments including Inoa hair colorant to beauty salons, rose 2.6 percent. Europe and the U.S. are "sluggish markets" for the category, L'Oreal said.
Active cosmetics sales gained 5.4 percent with La Roche Posay sun care maintaining its momentum across all markets, L'Oreal said. Body Shop revenue increased 2.4 percent as it introduced Extra Virgin Minerals foundations and extended travel retail to more than 40 countries. The dermatology division's sales gained 8.1 percent, L'Oreal said.

Delaware National Guard members witnessed history Saturday, Sept. 7, as they gathered along with family and friends to honor the retirement of Army Master Sgt. Richard Hitchens, the last active member of the Delaware Army National Guard who served in Vietnam.
"This is truly the end of an era," said Army Maj. Gen Francis D. Vavala, adjutant general for the DNG, who said that Hitchens epitomized the term soldier.
Speaking to those assembled, Hitchens stated, "One day back in May of 1968 my mother and father took me to the bus station in Salisbury, Md., put me on a Trailways bus and I shipped off for ...

Ripped off at petrol station
Be careful when filling petrol on your rental in Amman. The attendant filled the tank and before we could pay , they signaled us to move away from the pump and charged us over what we saw the total was, when we walked to the pump to see the price it was already gone. It was JD 4 over, and we just payed it so we could get on our way.We did not have this problem anywhere else in Jordan. I suggest you get out of the car and stand by the pump.
I never felt unsafe in Amman.
The streets of Downtown Amman are very crowded and busy, but I never had any problems.
The people of Amman are very friendly and helpful.
If you go to the Dead Sea, Mt Nebo and the Baptism Site, carry your passport with you as there are a few check-points.
Taxi drivers
Do insist that taxi drivers turn on the meter. I must say, I only had a problem once with a taxi driver overcharging me.
Generally speaking, I did not find them to be too much of a problem in Amman. Although there are many taxis to flag down, it can be difficult in Downtown Amman, as it gets very busy.
Steep Hilly Streets of Amman
Because Amman was built on seven hills, most streets are very steep. As a result it is not a very walkable city, except if one remains downtown at the bottom of the valley, or if one is walking downhill! Therefore, taking taxis is a must and fortunately, there are plenty of them. Attached is a photo of a typical steep street in Amman.
It is also hard to find ones' way -- due to those steep hills, most roads have to zigzag their way up to reach the top of the hills. Amman's streets are, therefore, as confusing as a bowl of spaghetti with seven heaps.
We found Amman to be very safe and the people to be lovely and friendly. Security is tight within the airport and also outside. Taxis can be organised at the outside terminal. To not be surprised to see the army in force throughout Amman. Hotels also have strict security rules and it's usual for your luggage to be screened before checking into the hotel.

Visa on arrival
Travelling to Jordan is quite convenient, because most nationalities get a visa on arrival at the airport, so you don't need to get one at the embassy in advance.
It costs 10 Jordanian Dinars (JD) to get the visa stamped into your passport. And since they don't accept credit cards or other currencies, you have to make sure that you have that amount in local currency on you before you board your flight to Amman.
Of course there are money changers in the arrival hall but they are rip-offs. Thankfully I had 20 JD on me when I arrived so it wasn't that much of an issue for me.
Note: 1 JD is equivalent to approximately 1.4 USD.

there is no security problems...
there is no security problems in amman,you can walk outside night and day;but to say the truth,lonely girls should avoid being provocative; remember that the moslem-arab world regards western women as easy girls always ready for sex.
I advice you to be discret if you have an israeli passport, because I already heard in hebrew from a very loud voice in downtown amman : bo lir'ot ktzat po, ze nira tov le'ekhlol be makom haze (come here, it looks nice to eat here)
It Can Happen Anywhere it seems
I wasnt sure whether to write in this part or not.
The only downfall I had in Jordan was in Amman one evening leaving a cafe, I was attcked by a man as we left a cafe early one evening. Luckily my friend got in there & between to 2 of us it was sorted pretty quickly & he ran off.
Not sure quite why it happened as I was suitably dressed. Just be careful & aware, its easy to forget you are in a capital city when everyone there is so friendly.
Traffic Rules?!
The thing that I really HATE about Jordan is the traffic condition in this country. Unlike their friendly people, they are extremely RUDE when driving. They play their horn everywhere, anytime as long as they like it. I am not sure if it's their way to greet people with it or not, bit for me, it's really irritating anyway.
If you want to walk across the street in Amman, just walk though it, no need to worry if there is a policeman or not, BUT make sure of your safety first.
This is a warning to those who doesn't smoke or who dislike smoke. Jordanians love smoking A LOT. Well in some places, where there are people there is smoke.
So I suffered badly from bus and restaurant. Well, I think most of the restaurents here don't have specific area for smoking, which is not good.
Some taxi drivers
Even if most of the time, the taxi drivers are quite nice, pay attention, you can find bastards everywhere. One time when going from the hotel to the center, the driver was barely speaking English.
He looked quite nice and I even tried to speak a few words of Arabic with him. My mistake, I didn't pay attention to the presence of a meter (they should all have one)
When we arrived, this "akhu shermuta" (yeah I know this is quite strong but he really deserves it) asked "three-zero". I gave him 3JD which would have been the normal price for this kind of distance but he didn't look happy with that. After a while I finally understood he was asking for 30JD!! This is more than 10 times the regular price.
At this time, I was really glad to have a pretty good idea about what to pay. Yet it is not so easy to argue when you don't speak the same language, I've finally left 5JD and went out of the car…
Few rules that may help :
- Always make sure you see the meter and it is switched on.
- Price within Amman should rarely be above 3JOD.
- Price from Amman to the airport should be around 15-20JOD.
- Road Trip
Taxi drivers...
Some taxi drivers tell you that the hotel you just mentioned and wanted to go to is a "no good hotel, mister".
They make up lies about the hotel; it has bed bugs and dirty sheets.
This is all lies because the driver gets a commission from a specific hotel if he drives you there...
Don't fall for this old trick! Tell him to drive to the hotel you want or take another cab. When this happened to me I lie back and told him that I definitely had to go the hotel I mentioned because I had to meet up with my friends there...
Don't forget that it's your trip and you stay where ever you want to stay!
Visa Extension...
If you are staying more than two weeks in Jordan, you will have to extend your visa.
This is free but if you forget to do so, there is a fine of 1.5JD/day.
The procedure itself is not difficult but I've visited 4 times a police station before getting my extension:
1. There is a police station on the citadel itself : this is the tourist police and they don't deal with visa (but are quite friendly).
2. The police station has to be in the district where you are staying.
3. Even if the police station is open, the required people don't work during the WE (friday-saturday).
4. Finally if you go during the week to the police station of your district, expect several visits between different offices. Each time you collect a stamps or a signatures and after 15-20 minutes, you are finally the happy owner of a visa extension...
Taxi cabs
Beware of cheaky taxi cab drivers. They are all supposed to use meters to keep track of your trip but pretend to forget to reset it and then tell you "never mind" always insist on the meter and never negotiate the fare.
- Road Trip
I never felt particularly...
I never felt particularly uneasy at any time...you know, that 'sixth sense' that we all have when something just ain't right...I did take precautions though, and was alert to what was going on around me. Just stay alert, stay alive.
The biggest danger is the traffic which is horibble (even though this picture really doesn't indicate so).

When he first launched his namesake ready-to-wear line, Tom Ford was extremely strict about hiding his collections until each one hit stores—an intriguing but totally unrealistic policy. In this era of Instragram and Twitter feeds, nothing stays private. Paparazzi secretly photograph Duchesses naked at private villas and no young starlet can have a quiet affair. It seems that the eponymous designer has finally realized this, too. Today, for the second season in a row, he released a video lookbook with his newest creations.
In the footage below, you'll see every single Spring/Summer 2013 look from multiple angles set to pulsing drum riffs. The pieces are Ford at his sleek, simple, sexy best and would've been worth waiting for. But still, we're glad we didn't.

I have never been that good at describing myself, but here goes: I am an arts administration teacher who is also one of the more avid sports fans that you are likely to meet. In a former life (namely, undergrad), I was a music major, and I still devote a lot of time and attention outside of work to music and the arts. If I'm not focusing on the arts, I'm probably adventuring and exploring around the area, trying to track down a game featuring one of the teams that I cheer for, or trying to find someone around here who appreciates the ethos of the Big Ten (I hold two graduate degrees from Ohio State; Go Buckeyes!). Within the last few years, I have fallen in, out of, and back in love with running; I'm trying to keep the romance going this time. Also, I like to relax by baking. I mean, really, who doesn't like cookies? Mmm, cookies!

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I just started working at a local college teaching arts administration. Dream job FTW!
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Singing and getting people to laugh are probably at the top of the list. I'm also a wiz at trivia (I've been on Jeopardy!; neat, huh?), baking (delicious and therapeutic!), and occasionally making candy (once in a blue moon, but it turns out so well).
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Physically, most everyone says my eyes. Usually after that, it is a toss-up between the fact that my hair has been turning gray since I was 13 and that my hair is thinning out. As for me personality stuff, my sense of humor (like I said, I like making people laugh). I've also been told that I come across as intimidating at first, which has never made much sense to me, as I'm a big softee.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
Books: Phantom of the Opera, Lamb, The Virgin Suicides, The Man Who Ate Everything, Kitchen Confidential
Movies: Schindler's List, White Christmas, Singin' in the Rain, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Dogma
Music: Broadway, Great Big Sea, Barenaked Ladies, Old Crow Medicine Show, Guster, Ben Folds, John Adams
Foods: Italian and Mexican food

Music: Broadway, Great Big Sea, Barenaked Ladies, Old Crow Medicine Show, Guster, Ben Folds, John Adams

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
1.) Music
2.) Baking equipment
3.) Family/Friends
4.) A good pair of running shoes
5.) My phone
6.) Some good food and drink (I'm working on becoming better versed about wine)
2.) Baking equipment

5.) My phone
6.) Some good food and drink (I'm working on becoming better versed about wine)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Mostly, I think about where exactly my life is going, and how I'm going to play the cards I'm dealt. However, my mind tends to wander a lot. It's not unusual for me to get to thinking about how the Yankees or Buckeyes are doing, whether I remembered to lock the front door, if my work is done, what route I'll be running on a given night, what upcoming movies I'd like to see, and what's for dinner.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
As of late, Friday nights have involved relaxing on the couch to catch up on work and reading.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I have a huge fear of failure. I think that it has held me back before, but I'm working to make that a thing of the past.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
You are interested in knowing more. Or if you're a nice person. Or if you appreciate and/or abide the fact that I keep a kosher home. Or think I sound mildly interesting. Really, you should just message me; epic brownie points (and possibly epic brownies) will be your reward! :)
