Donovan Bailey pleads guilty to drinking and driving charge
The Olympic gold medalist, who made the guilty plea through his lawyer, called his arrest following a wine tasting evening a "difficult, embarassing" event for which he is very sorry.

Olympic gold medalist and one-time fastest man in the world Donovan Bailey won't be allowed behind the wheel for a year.
Bailey was fined $1,500 and given a mandatory one-year driving ban after pleading guilty to driving his 2006 Land Rover with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.
Bailey, who was in Europe for media and charity commitments and did not appear in court, made the plea through his lawyer Bill Trudell on Aug. 15.
In a statement read to the court on Bailey's behalf, the sprinter said he was on his way home from a wine tasting on March 28, 2012.
Bailey was parked on the narrow shoulder of the Don Valley Parkway around 12:39 a.m, according to the agreed statement of facts. (He had stopped to take a phone call, Trudell said in a later interview.)
The arresting officer believed the vehicle "partially encroached on a lane of traffic," so he pulled up behind Bailey.
During a conversation with Bailey the officer noticed an odour of alcohol and, when Bailey admitted to having consumed some,
conducted a roadside Breathalyzer test, which Bailey failed.
Bailey was later charged with operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level over 80 milligrams and operating a motor vehicle while impaired.
The second charge was withdrawn after the guilty plea — a legal requirement because the charges are substantially similar.
Trudell told the court the sprinter "had never been involved in such a matter before in his entire life" and has learned from his mistake.
As "a proud role model and upstanding Canadian citizen, coach, media analyst and fundraiser away from the track, this has been a difficult, embarrassing and regretful event for which I am very sorry," Trudell said on Bailey's behalf.
"I hope this also serves as a warning for others who attend similar wine-tasting events that what may appear to be a slow and insignificant consumption as you taste and expel different wines across an evening may in fact push you close to or over the legal limit without you noticing."
Bailey tweeted on Aug. 15: "you must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures," a quote attributed to Charles C. Noble.
This is the third driving-related incident for the two-time inductee to the Canadian Hall of Fame.
Two years after Bailey took home two gold medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and set a new world record of 9.84 in the 100-metre sprint, his car crashed into a concrete utility pole, flipped over and caught fire. He was fined $200 for failing to report an accident. .
In 2001, Bailey was fined $975 for driving 200 km/h on the QEW.
Trudell said those charges played no role in the current case and that Bailey "handled it with dignity and took responsibility."

There is nothing to "suss out" with icloud concerning apps.
All apps (unless they are taken out of the itunes store) are stored under your Apple ID and can be redownloaded later for free.
On your iPhone enter the App Store, go to Updates, then tap Purchased
This will show you all apps you have "purchased" with that account.
This was working before icloud was going.

Thanks so much for this info!! I "rebooted" my iphone several times thinking apple would be smart enough to change apple id on phone to match new id on PC, but nope. I ended up & had to logout of itunes on my PC AND my iphone, after which my apple id is FINALLY happy on iphone & PC. WOOHOO

What worked for me was to go to Settings>Store, and Log out. Then go to back to the App store and purchase an App (free or not), at which point it asked me to login, which I did using the new Apple ID. Then when I went back to Settings>Store, the new ID was there. So it is all on the new ID. Just make sure to logout of the iTunes on you computer and then log back in using the new ID.

After you've logged out your account in settings -> app store, create and sign in on the new account. Bear in mind apps are tied to the accounts the purchases were made with.
That's also because apps are DRM protected, your current apps belonging to the old ID is permanently protected under that account. Through updates, iTunes will also continue to write DRM to the old ID you had because those apps were once DRMed under the old ID, therefore requiring authorisation with that old Apple ID which is why it keeps "coming back" when it really didn't.
You can only update apps on the accounts you've signed in to.

thx for the info. I managed to change the email associated to my Appe ID. The changes are also accepted by itunes, but somehow my Cloud info will not change - still shows the old email-adress. I have followed the instructions, and also turned off my phone a couple of times. Any ideas on how to change Cloud ID - seems to be locked and not update according to updated itune-info?

I had the same problem and spent ages trying to find the solution. In the end I took a leap of faith and deleted iCloud from my phone then started it up again using my new apple ID. Go into settings, then iCloud then scroll to the bottom where you will see a red delete bar. Tap on it!!! It will warn you that any documents you have on iCloud will be deleted but you will get the option to save your contacts and calender entries. Once deleted go back into settings, then iCloud and sign in again using your new details. It worked well for me. Hope it works for you too. Be brave!!

I also changed the email address associated with my Apple ID and successfully made all the changes to iTunes, iCloud, etc so those applications operate properly. However, I am still having issues with Face Time and iMessage asking me to log in with the old apple ID. Has anyone else had issues with these applications and been able to fix it?

Hi Claire
It worked, and now iCloud also has my new Apple ID associated. It is a new phone and I haven't started to use the cloud-function, so luckily I didn't loose any docs. I have also not tried to use iMessage and Face time, so I might return to this discussion again - as described by jfhildick above.
Great forum, and thanks

No. Unlike the original DS's transfer system, you cannot use one DS to transfer or Trade. Trading requires two bodies to exchange at the same time. Since you do not have a second DS to turn on your older games, you won't be able to trade.

The Rise and Fall of Jimmy Hopkins, aged 15Summary:
Sliding down stair rails. Bunny-hopping over cars. Attending (and bunking) class. Winning the hearts of girls from every clique. Learning how to fight from a homeless bum behind the school bus. Achieving school domination and having complete power over staff and students alike; just a typical school year.
The first I was aware of Bully as a kid was in the build-up to launch. The game took a huge hit of controversy in the UK due to the ignorant assumption the game promoted bullying and starred you, the titular Bully. Obviously not the case, the game had the misfortune of being renamed Canis ...

Rockstar is a controversial company that makes good games. They are most well-known for the Grand Theft Auto franchise, which has been under heavy scrutiny over the "Hot Coffee" mod that was found in the game years ago. Now after that, they made another controversial game, called "Bully", which had critics thinking this would teach kids to bully others. When it came out, it was a mini version of GTA. No blood, but the kind of violence that would be expected from high schoolers in real life. It still only had a T rating, and wasn't bad. Now, they decide to port it to the other company consol...
Bully BrilliantThe good:

The game itself: When I first got this game, I fell in love with it. I loved the fact that it took place at school and it was realistic. You go to class, complete missions, run errands for people, start food fights in the cafeteria, start snow ball fights outside, shove kids in lockers, participate in bike races, go to the carnival and so much more. The most important missions in the game are the missions at the end of each chapter. The last mission of each chapter consists of Jimmy fighting the boss of that chapter, or the "leader" of that clique to gain their respect.

Unusual surgery saves Edmond hound
EDMOND — Pepper, a 9-year-old hound dog, has been given a third chance at life. Thanks to the Edmond veterinarian who performed a 3½ hour surgery to remove a 15-pound blood clot, Pepper is back at home barking at the city's sanitation trucks. Pepper's owner, Sherri Ellis, brought the dog to Dr. Donna Woods at the Danforth Animal Hospital two weeks ago when she suspected something was wrong with her pet. An X-ray showed Pepper had an enormous hematoma, or blood clot, growing on her spleen. "When I saw it on the X-ray, I wondered how is this dog still alive and eating," Woods said. "I just thought I had a fat dog," Ellis said. "I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the size of a basketball." Woods said the blood clot was causing the animal discomfort. "It wasn't causing her any problems except it was pressing on her other organs and causing her to get more arthritis in her back," the veterinarian said. Ellis said she saved up for Pepper's surgery. She wouldn't say how much the surgery cost. Woods said she had never performed a procedure this intricate. "This is the biggest mass I've ever removed, and my boss said it's probably a record for the clinic," she said. "It's was very exhausting work. There are tons of blood vessels stuck to the spleen. I had to deal with it one blood vessel at a time." Woods' greyhound provided blood so Pepper could get a transfusion. Pepper and two litter mates started life being tossed in a bag and thrown in the garbage. Two sanitation workers found them and left them by the side of the road. Only Pepper was able to make the one-mile walk through the woods to Ellis's home between Guthrie and Edmond. "She's a tough gal," Ellis said. "She's been through a lot, but she's able to wiggle when she walks again."

Trump's newest dubious boast: 'I do know my subject'
In criticizing the Iran nuclear deal, he expressed particular outrage at how the roughly $150 billion released to Iran (by his estimate; the number is in dispute) was being spent. "Did you notice they're buying from everybody but the United States?" he said.Told that sanctions under United States law still bar most American companies from doing business with Iran, he said: "So, how stupid is that? We give them the money and we now say, 'Go buy Airbus instead of Boeing,' right?"But Mr. Trump, who has been pushed to demonstrate a basic command of international affairs, insisted that voters should not doubt his foreign policy fluency. "I do know my subject," he said.

Week in Geek - Evolution of Saturn edition
The formation of the solar system is still a very open question in astronomy. Some things we understand, some things we don't. New work by astronomers proposes that Saturn's rings and moons may have formed billions of years after the Sun burst into light and Saturn and its brethren took shape.
Saturn's rings were first discovered by Galileo in 1610, but the first moon wasn't detected until 1655, when Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens took advantage of advances in telescope technology to study the planet in more detail. It was originally assumed that the rings (and moons) formed simultaneously (astronomically speaking) along with the entire solar system. However, evidence to the contrary is now being found. In 2012, astronomers in France found that some the moons closer in are actually spiraling slowly away from Saturn.
Building on that research, astronomers at SETI and the Southwest Research Institute have used computer simulations to dynamically model the evolution of Saturn's inner moons. The results suggest that moons beyond the orbit of Rhea are likely the oldest, but the ones closer in are younger and their orbits around Saturn haven't had as much time to evolve - i.e., their current locations are not far from where they likely formed. Ages for these moons based on these assumptions come out to less than 100 million years old (which likely applies to the rings as well).
Lead researcher, Matija Cuk, summarized it thusly:
"Our best guess is that Saturn had a similar collection of moons before, but their orbits were disturbed by a special kind of orbital resonance involving Saturn's motion around the Sun. Eventually, the orbits of neighboring moons crossed, and these objects collided. From this rubble, the present set of moons and rings formed."
This means that while dinosaurs were roaming the Earth during the Cretaceous Period, Saturn was ringless! Mind. Blown. Those dinosaurs will never know the beauty they missed.
Here's some more geek from the week:
This Week in God, 3.26.16
In an interview with radio host Kevin Miller on Tuesday, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) spoke about his new bill to make it much easier for Christians and other religious minorities fleeing ISIS-related violence to resettle in the United States."I think the U.S. has a moral imperative to try and save these Christians and the other small minority groups," he said. "So I would create a special kind of visa program that wouldn't take any access away from anyone else in the United States, but would recognize that Christians -- like Jews in the Soviet Union -- are being singled out for persecution and elimination. That's in our interest, as it is in combating the Islamic State."

Friday's Mini-Report, 3.25.16
Wisconsin's 'war on voting' leads to real consequences
A bill signed into law last week by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker could make it much harder for the poor and minorities to register to vote in the pivotal swing state just as the 2016 election approaches.The Republican-backed measure allows Wisconsinites to register to vote online. But voting rights advocates say that step forward is massively outweighed by a provision in the bill whose effect will be to make it nearly impossible to conduct the kind of community voter registration drives that disproportionately help low-income and non-white Wisconsinites to register.
The Republican convention fight already getting underway
While Trump publicly dismisses talk of a battle in Cleveland, he is quietly assembling a team of seasoned operatives to manage a contested convention. Their strategy, NBC has learned, is to convert delegates in the crucial 40 days between the end of the primaries and the convention - while girding for a floor fight in Cleveland if necessary.The outreach is already underway. "We are talking to tons of delegates," says Barry Bennett, a former Ben Carson campaign manager now leading the delegate strategy for Trump.

You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:16)
Sometimes a little inside information makes a big difference. Say you give your neighbor a friendly hello but get a frown in return. Youre miffed. Until you learn that the neighbors child has fallen critically ill. Doesnt that change everything? Your heart swells with compassion, and you want to reach outwith prayer, encouragement, practical help something! One piece of information has opened your eyes to a reality you hadnt been able to see.
Something similar happened to Peter at Caesarea Philippi. And it was an awesome piece of inside information: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God! Whats more, the source of that information was even more awesome: it did not come from flesh and blood but from the Father himself (16:17).
Over time, this divine insight into Jesus hidden identity changed everything for Peter. His understanding of God, his relationships, worldview, his way of lifenothing would ever be the same. Neither would Peters view of himself. For on that same occasion, Jesus revealed another piece of inside information: You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church (Matthew 16:18). From the earliest times, the Church has celebrated his choice as head shepherd of the flock in the feast of the Chair of St. Peter.
God didnt want this revelation to Peter to remain a secret between the two of them. No, he meant it to be shared always, with everyone, to the ends of the earth. And so, through the ministry of Peter and his successors, this good news has come down to us. And it comes in a personal way, for here is Jesus, asking each of us, Who do you say that I am? Do you take me as Lord of your life?
One more thing. Its not just Peter who needed insight into what God had created him to do and be. At every step of the way, we also need that revelation, guidance, and encouragement. So dont be afraid to ask Jesus, Who do you say that I am? His answer will transform your life too.
Jesus, I confess that you are the Lord! May every part of me bear witness to this truth.
1 Peter 5:1-4; Psalm 23:1-6

Santorum visits with local RepublicansPublished 8:26am Tuesday, October 1, 2013
By Bart Moss
For the FCT
Northwest Alabama Republicans celebrated recent successes in Tuscumbia last Thursday evening as they welcomed former Presidential candidate Rick Santorum to the area.
Santorum won the state of Alabama's Republican presidential primary in 2012.
He joked, "I won Tuscaloosa County, home of the Crimson Tide, and I won Lee County, home of the Auburn Tigers. So, I feel at home in the state of Alabama."
He congratulated Alabama Republicans, in particular northwest Alabama Republicans, on their recent electoral success.
"When you put good people up to run for office and they stand for the values of the American people you find success," Santorum said.
"The people of Alabama want conservative leadership," he continued. "They want leadership that is not afraid to stand up and fight for what is right and fight for people and not special interests."
Also on hand for the event was Alabama Republican Party Chairman Bill Armistead who proclaimed northwest Alabama as Republican territory.
"It used to be that the only way you could win in Franklin County, Colbert County and Lauderdale County was to run as a Democrat," Armistead said.
"We have broken through that barrier and are on our way to making the Republican Party the majority party in northwest Alabama just like it is statewide."
Colbert County Republican Party Chairman David Black, the organizer of the event, said Armistead was committed to northwest Alabama.
"Chairman Armistead told me last year that he wanted to have a political rally like the one tonight to send a message to voters in northwest Alabama that it's okay to vote Republican," Black said.
"Voters seem to agree with Armistead because three years ago there was not a single elected Republican in northwest Alabama and now we have 20 Republicans holding office in Colbert, Franklin, Lawrence and Lauderdale Counties."
"One of the promises I made when I was elected Chairman was to help northwest Alabama Republicans win and bring a big event to the area. We have fulfilled those promises but we are not through. We plan to build on our successes not rest on our laurels."
Franklin County Probate Judge Barry Moore was recognized at the event as one of three Republicans elected in Franklin County in 2012. County commissioners Rayburn Massey and Chris Wallace were also elected as Republicans.
"We are proud of the success our party has achieved," said Moore. "We appreciate Chairman Armistead's commitment to Franklin County and we appreciate Senator Santorum taking the time out of his schedule to visit the area."
"We run for offices as Republicans," Moore added. "When elected we serve all the people. We want Franklin County to be successful. That is our number one priority."

FORT BRAGG, N.C. - A chance phone call late one evening, coupled with prompt actions of personnel at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, helped a Soldier in crisis on the other side of the world.
A chaplain was trying to reach the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg and instead reached Bryant Hall at SWCS.
"I don't know what's up with my phone, but I get calls for the 82nd all the time," said the plans and operations officer.
The chaplain had been contacted by a young specialist who was worried about a friend - a fellow Soldier currently serving with the 82nd in Afghanistan. Convinced that the Soldier had been "unequivocally talking of committing suicide," the chaplain was trying to reach someone at the 82nd.
Since the call came in after normal duty hours, and given the immediacy of the situation, the SWCS officer decided to take action.
Lieutenant Col. Corey Weller and Hall had been working on a project when the call came in. After quickly talking about the details, they discussed how to secure help for the Soldier.
They informed SWCS leadership and contacted individuals whom they knew to be in a position to facilitate help. The unique structure of the U.S. Army allows each Soldier to form an extensive database of contacts from previous and current assignments.
"Just having the network in place sped it up exponentially," said Weller.
Within 20 minutes they received a response that the Soldier had been located and immediately escorted to a combat stress clinic for evaluation.
"(After) a couple of phone calls and a couple of e-mails - it was heartening to see caring, senior leaders get involved," Weller said. "Any cry for help, I think we should take seriously."
The Army has seen a steady rise in suicides over the past decade. Last year, there were 160 active-duty Soldiers and 78 reservists who committed suicide. Both statistics are a marked increase over the reported suicides in 2008, and every unit has the potential to be affected.
In an effort to decrease further tragedies, the Army has implemented several programs.
The Army Suicide Prevention Task Force was formed under the ongoing Army Campaign Plan for Health Promotion, Risk Reduction and Suicide Prevention. Combat stress clinics have been set up in Iraq and Afghanistan to provide help for Soldiers currently deployed. A variety of resources are also available online 24-hours a day.
As in the case of the deployed 82nd Soldier, friends and Family are often the first line of defense against suicide. Fellow Soldiers and coworkers also play a role.
"Any suicide is a tragedy. We have a stern challenge considering the stress our Army is under. Suicide prevention takes serious effort and personal involvement from everyone," said Brig. Gen. Bennet Sacolick, deputy commanding general, SWCS.

I posted this on the Cesarean board but its pretty slow moving so I thought I'd post it here as well. Would love any tips you have!
I'm about 3 1/2 weeks pp. I have a 2 year old as well. I've been blessed to have family staying with us to help this whole time, and they are currently planning to stay the whole 6 weeks. But I am SO ready to have my house back :) My toddler's life and routine has been disrupted enough with a new baby in the house. Having constant house guests seems to be making it worse. Naptime is a battle, he's acting out a lot, and now he's incredibly clingy with me and tells his grandparents "bye bye" all day long. It seems like for his mental health and mine, it's time for the help to go!
That being said, I still have a lot of pain and don't want to overdo it. DH says I need to accept the help as long as I have it so I can have a better recovery. I know a lot of you have not had the advantage of people to help during your recovery - so what advice/tips do you have for keeping up your house and taking care of your family while also allowing your body the time it needs to heal?

domestic producer of marijuana, Mexican cartels are growing improved
varieties of outdoor marijuana to compete with BC Bud and other potent
indoor plants.
1. For the millionth time, how stupid do we have to be to create a
market for these guys, particularly by prohibiting a substance that is,
by pretty much every measure, less harmful than the alcohol we tax and
regulate? It's not like they're selling nuclear briefcases. But it is
like we're putting up a welcome sign for Genghis Khan.2. Is
this a good thing for regional pot consumers? I'll confess that I'm not
knowledgeable about cannabis varieties, but I do hear good things about
BC Bud. If the Mexican cartels can grow stuff that competes with that,
then local consumers should probably be pretty excited about their new
range of options. (Just try to stay out of any crossfire, should it
come about.)
3. In 2006, marijuana was estimated to be a billion dollar crop inWashington state. We have a giant budget deficit and a need for new

This review is from: Philips Sonicare Flexcare Platinum Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer HX9170/10
Pros: Toothbrush really feels like it gives my teeth a good cleaning. It runs for 2 minutes so I am definitely brushing longer. Dental hygienist swears it is better for gums and tartar build up. (We'll see if she's right when I go back . . .) Got brush heads for whole family and everybody uses it now. May purchase another one to keep the kids away from this one . . . would recommend and buy again.
Cons: Entry price is a bit steep but otherwise none so far.

This review is from: Philips Sonicare Flexcare Platinum Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer HX9170/10
Pros: After many years of using another brand of electric toothbrush I finally decided to try Sonicare. This toothbrush really does a better job than anything I've ever tried. It leaves my teeth feeling like I've just left the dentist. It has even helped to remove the tiny stains left behind in the crevices of the larger teeth. I haven't had any gum discomfort whatsoever and look forward to brushing. The Sonicare is powerful and I love the built in UV light and storage on this unit. Overall I highly recommend this toothbrush to anyone who is serious about their dental health, you won't be disappointed!
Cons: I honestly haven't found any yet.
Other Thoughts: This was my first ever purchase from Newegg.com and couldn't be happier with them. They had the lowest price and their free shipping was much faster than the other online retailer I frequently use.

Fewer than half of all U.S. residents who identify themselves as Catholics attend church regularly, according to figures from the CARA Catholic Poll. That leaves a lot of people who could be open to returning to the active fold, according to Catholic leaders.
That's the very idea behind the annual Lenten "Welcome Home Catholics" program beginning March 12 at Columbus' St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, 1306 27th St. The five weekly Wednesday sessions will meet from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and cover the Mass, the sacraments, the church's uniqueness and other topics, according to organizers.
The program simply reacquaints non-practicing Catholics with their faith and is conducted in an informal manner and setting. Catholics are among the largest religious group locally. And St. Bartholomew, with a weekly Mass attendance of about 4,200, is Bartholomew County's largest single church.
The five sessions will be conducted by the Rev. Clem Davis, pastor of St. Bartholomew; the Rev. Doug Marcotte, associate pastor; parish staff members and volunteers.
Participants may attend as many sessions as their schedules permit. There is no pressure to join the church and no questions asked about why attendees left or fell away from actively practicing their faith.

"Poros, Greece" Poros Island by SWFC_Fan
Poros Island Travel Guide: 66 reviews and 166 photos
The Greek island of Poros is located in the Argosaronic Gulf, a short distance south of Athens and is separated from Galatas, on the Peleponnese peninsular, by just a narrow body of sea.
The island of Aegina lies closeby to the north and the island of Hydra a similar distance to the south.
How to get there?
Poros does not have an airport, so can be reached only by sea.
From Piraeus, there are regular ferries and hydrofoils during the day which travel to Poros via Aegina and, sometimes, other ports on the Peleponnese peninsular. The journey time from Piraeus is a little over one hour by hydrofoil and double this by ferry.
There are also regular connections with the other islands in the region (Aegina, Hydra and Spetses) all of which are reachable within two hours by ferry, or less by hydrofoil.
I arrived by ferry from Aegina (via Methana in the Peleponnese), a journey of a little over one hour. When I left Poros, I took a hydrofoil to Piraeus. During my 4 days on the island, I visited the neighbouring islands of Hydra and Spetses which were easily combined as a daytrip thanks to the fast catamarans and hydrofoils linking the islands.
If arriving from other parts of mainland Greece, an alternative is to drive to Galatas in the Peleponnese and then make the short crossing by ferry (the crossing takes only a few minutes). As well as the car ferries that make the crossing, regular speedboats and water taxis cross the narrow strait. At October 2005, the cost of a crossing by watertaxi was just 0.70 Euros.
Poros is a relatively small island with most of its population and facilities concentrated in its main town, Poros Town.
Poros Town is very scenic and has a laid-back, cosmopolitan atmosphere. The town is built ampitheatrically upon the hills that back the harbour and the waterfront houses a great many bars, restaurants and souvenir shops. This is also a popular destination for the yachting crowds and some impressive (and expensive!) boats can be seen moored along the seafront.
It is worth climbing up to the town's clock tower for some breathtaking views, particularly across to the Peleponnese town of Galatas. Regular boats make the short crossing to Galatas, but the best reason for visiting Galatas, in my opinion, is for the view of Poros that it offers.
I stayed at the beach resort of Askeli, a 15 minute walk from Poros Town. The resort had a nice, sandy beach, plenty of accommodation and a handful of bars and tavernas. In October, the resort was very much in wind-down mode with tavernas offering only part of their usual menus and most places either empty or frequented by only a handful of people. Although I walked into Poros Town from Askeli, there were numerous places offering bicycles, mopeds and quads for hire and these proved popular with most tourists.
On the route into Poros Town from Askeli there is a righthand turn which leads to a pleasant walk along the coast to several secluded bays and beaches. Among these is the popular "Lover's Bay" which is a sheltered sandy beach with a café and sunbeds for hire, as well as love songs being played from a loud speaker. Beyond Lover's bay, the beaches become more remote and the terrain becomes mountainous. Mountain goats roam the roads and the views out to sea are spectacular. There is a small islet off the coast with a little monastery on it – this islet features on some of the Greek Tourist Organisation's material and seems to offer such a variety of terrain in just a few square metres (rocks, trees, sandy coasts and a monastery).
A few observations from my 4 days on Poros:
View from the mainland
As stated above, the town of Poros is built very scenically upon a series of hills. Viewed from the air, this ampitheatre effect is very impressive and many of the shots on postcards are taken from this vantage point. However, from Poros itself there are few if any angles from which you can truly appreciate the town's layout. In fact, the best views of Poros are to be had from across the water in Galatas on the Peleponnese peninsular.
A good base for exploring the Argosaronic Gulf and beyond
Poros is a great place to base yourself for further exploration of the Argosaronic Gulf islands. Its central location within the group of islands means that Aegina, Spetses and Hydra can all be reached conveniently as daytrips. As a base, I much preferred Poros to Aegina as it felt more laid-back but also seemed to offer superior tourist amenities. I enjoyed both Spetses and Hydra but a day was enough to see both of these islands and I don't feel I'd have benefited from an extended stay on either island.
As well as the other islands, travel agencies also offer daytrips to Athens (only an hour away by hydrofoil) and tours of the Peleponnese peninsular to places such as Olympia, Epidavros and Monemvasia.
- Pros:A green island, nice walks, lots of potential daytrips
- In a nutshell:A relaxing, green island with good beaches and great walks

Remembering the sacrifices of the nation's fallen
June 6, 2014
By Kari Hawkins, Redstone Rocket
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- On Memorial Day -- a national day of remembrance, recognition and honor -- members of local patriotic and military organizations joined with the families of the area's fallen for the annual tribute at Maple Hill Cemetery May 26.
Taps was played, there was a rifle salute, the Huntsville Concert Band and singer Bob Smith performed patriotic music, and memorial wreaths were laid at the base of the cemetery's Veterans Memorial as the bagpipes sounded.
Lt. Gen. David L. Mann, commanding general, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command, said Memorial Day is not only a day to remember the sacrifices of fallen service members, but also to "recognize the loved ones who have been left behind."
Of the more than 1,200 veterans buried at Maple Hill Cemetery, four stand out as representatives of the cost today's military families have paid to protect the nation's freedoms, Mann said. They are Cpl. Andrew Chris, killed in Baghdad, Iraq, on June 25, 2003; Marine Lance Cpl. Adam Loggins, killed in Anbar Province, Iraq, on April 26, 2007; Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Hall, killed in Afghanistan on June 1, 2009; and Capt. Wade Ramsey, killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 4, 2011. Chris is buried in section 105, and the other three are buried in section 36. While family members of other fallen service members who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan were also honored at the ceremony, their loved ones are not buried at Maple Hill Cemetery.
Speaking to all family members and friends who have lost loved ones in any of the nation's wars, Mann said, "Thank you for helping us to remember your loved one's service and sacrifice. Thank you for helping us remember that freedom is not free. Thank you for helping us remember that you are truly a national treasure.
"On behalf of a grateful nation, I salute you," Mann added. "It is important to remember those who gave all so we can enjoy our many liberties."
He also mentioned his son-in-law, who was killed on Nov. 23, 2005, while serving with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq. Fallen warriors, Mann said, "leave behind family, friends and loved ones" who must live daily with their loss.
Rachael Jackson, who is a West Point graduate and former Apache pilot, and now the wife of a service member and a mother, presented the ceremony's Salute to the Fallen.
"I have been so blessed with the opportunity to be a Soldier," Jackson said. "I have served alongside some of the most courageous, heroic people you'll ever know.
"I have lost friends, classmates and fellow pilots. I have seen my friends recovering in hospitals after being blown up by (improvised explosive devices)," she added. "I get choked up watching homecomings, knowing the sacrifice of spouses and children as well as the Soldiers. I have said 'thank you' and have been thanked. When I see the veteran's hat, shirt, or license plate, I say a prayer."
She said her heart often aches with the question, "Why?" And God has answered her, Jackson said, with these words, "It's the story, Rachael. It's the story of unspeakable evil that threatens to overcome. It's the story of heroes who sacrifice it all to offer others a chance at life and freedom. Free from horror and evil, full of hope and purpose. It's a reflection of my story."
Quoting John 15:12-13, Jackson said when the Scripture is reflected in a warrior's life, in a Soldier's life, it shows love for God, love for others and hope for a better tomorrow.
"Soldiers who selflessly serve their country are the greatest display of God's hope and glory," she said.
The Memorial Day ceremony was hosted by the North Alabama Veterans and Fraternal Organizations Coalition and by the city of Huntsville.

New here
I have been lurking on this board for a couple of weeks and really like the information that you all share. I was absolutely clueless about how credit scores worked and how my lack of knowledge could prevent me from meeting my goals financially. I have 11 negative items on my credit report that I would like to handle. My total debt is $2700. I can pay the debts in full, but I have gotten conflicting advice about doing so. My scores are equifax 587, experian 613, and transunion 651. I am ready to start on the road to recovery. My goal is to get a mortgage loan by Jan 2014. TIA for any info that you guys provide.

The Seattle Times reports that Redmond-based Nintendo--owners of the Mariners--will be loaning its new DSi handheld game systems to the first 150 fans who request them at each game. The DSis are little screens that let you check out game stats from around the league, watch broadcasts of the game going on in in front of you, order food and drinks, and send messages to other users.
Nintendo says the new devices were inspired by the movie Wall-E.
Now, given this last capacity, let's think about who we're dealing with here: The Seattle Mariners got their profitable panties in a bunch over "Yankees Suck" t-shirts and then scored national attention for a disputed crackdown on girl-girl kissing. How long before a device that allows fans to message other fans results in another moral panic?
