This room was minuscule even by London, New York, or Paris standards. The full size bed had to be pushed up against the wall so there was enough space to walk in the room. The management offered to give us a bigger room on Night 2 (even without us asking) but since we were only there for 2 nights, it seemed like a big hassle. We had a lot of luggage since it was the end of a two week trip. The...more
First of all, I didn't book a room here but my friend did. It was my last night in London and I had planned on staying with friends in Walton-on-Thames, but the Waterloo station was closed on Sundays. It would have taken me 2 hours to get there by the Underground after a full day on a Contiki bus. No thanks.
My friend offered me a stay and I agreed. Staying at the Radisson Edwardian...more
Starting with the positives, the hotel is in a great location for tourists & as a business traveller was convenient for my Mayfair office. Decor is pleasant and my room was generally clean with a decent TV, ironing board, toileteries etc.
That said, it is not in my view a 4 star establishment. Room sizes are some of the smallest I've seen & the single lift is definitely the slowest I've...more
I am writing this review with the hotel's free wi-fi right now! The Cumberland doesn't have free wi-fi and you have to pay to use the internet in their business center too. I call bullshit on that after staying here at the Edwardian Sussex. Actually, I normally stay at The Cumberland, but it just didn't work out this trip... I may never stay there again.

Planning & Invitations
What Do I Need For the Party?
In addition to basic party supplies, like plates, cups, napkins, and decorations, you may want to consider purchasing, borrowing or renting the following items for your Fairy party:
- Cookie cutters in star, flower, and/or butterfly shapes
- Costume items like fairy wings and a wand for each guest
- A bubble making machine
- Disposable Cameras
Creative invitations build excitement and can increase attendance at your child's party. If you have time to make your own, be sure to involve your child in choosing the design and filling in the details. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Fold light purple cardstock in half, and decorate the cover with a sticker. Print the words "I Believe in Fairies!" at the top, and add your party invitation details inside.
- Punch a hole in the corner of the invitation, and tie it with ribbon to the stem of an artificial flower. Either deliver the invitations by hand or use padded mailing envelopes.
- Ask the birthday girl to draw a picture of a fairy. Photocopy her drawing onto colored paper and add the party details. Then roll up all of the invitations into scrolls and tie a pink ribbon around them.
- Create a flower shaped invitation from cardstock so the petals fold down into a circle. When the petals are opened, it will resemble a blooming flower. Add the party details in the middle, so they will be revealed when the petals are folded open.
- For a special touch use personalized invitations that complement your fairy party theme.
Decorating & Food Ideas
From the moment your guests arrive it should be apparent what theme your little girl has chosen. Below you'll find suggestions for how you can bring some fairy fun to the environment of your party:
- Choose soft colors like pale green, pink, lavender, and white for the decorations.
- Use clear twinkle lights to outline the front door.
- Hang colored streamers from tree branches in the yard. They will float in the breeze and add to the magical fairy atmosphere.
- Make a banner that says "Welcome to (your child's name) Pixie Dust Party" and hang it near the party entrance.
- Lay a cardboard drawbridge for the children to cross at the party entrance.
- Give fairy wings, a tiara, and a wand for each guest as they arrive.
- Ask older siblings or neighbors to dress as fairies and help with the party games.
- Form a canopy over the party table using pink and lavender streamers. The streamers should cascade from a bow in the middle (attached to the chandelier or the ceiling) out to the sides of the room.
- Fill the party area with huge tissue paper flowers. Arrange groups of flowers on tables, floors, hanging from the ceiling, or tied to chairs.
- Cut large tree, toadstool, and castle shapes out of cardboard, paint them, and hang them on the walls of the party area.
- Turn on a bubble making machine to develop the ambiance.
- Combine clear mini lights with tulle netting and drape around the party space.
- Another option for creating a canopy is to hang yards of tulle netting from the ceiling. This can be done above the food table, or in another location such as a tree branch, to create a play area for your little fairies. Attach some butterflies and flowers from the craft store, and drape the netting outwards into a circular shape. Layer the end of the netting over chairs spread in a circle (if creating a play area), or the chairs around the food table.
- Spread flowers and glitter along the center of the main table.
- Make cardboard stars, cover in aluminum foil, and hang them from the ceiling.
When it comes to food, partygoers are usually perfectly content to eat pizza or hotdogs, which is certainly much easier on the hosts! However, if you have the time and would like to serve up some enchanted treats, consider these ideas:
- Prepare jam sandwiches and cut with a star-shaped cookie cutter.
- Serve vegetable dip in a hollowed out purple cabbage, or fruit dip in a hollowed out melon.
- Serve cut up fruit in clear plastic goblets.
- Prepare fizzy Enchanted Fairy Punch. Before the party, freeze either cranberry juice, pink grapefruit juice or fruit punch in ice cube trays. Then on party day, serve lemon-lime soda, and let each child drop in a "magic" ice cube that will make a pink drink fit for a fairy!
- Another option is to offer pink lemonade as your Fairy Punch, and serve it in tea cups.
- Make fairy wand cookies by sliding a wooden Popsicle stick under each star-shaped sugar cookie before baking. Bake as usual, and frost as desired. Try using our sugar cut-out cookies recipe, your own favorite recipe, or ready-made cookie dough from the grocery store.
- Chocolate dipped strawberries are a favorite fairy snack.
- Prepare Magic Wands from pretzel rods dipped in melted white chocolate. Before the chocolate hardens, dip in pastel sprinkles.
- Make star-shaped crispy rice cereal treats and sprinkle them with colored sugar.
- Ask your local pizza parlor to make individual heart-shaped pizzas for the guests.
- Fill a clear glass with Pixie Stix candy straws, and be sure to call them Pixie Dust!
- A bowl of jelly beans can be called Fairy Gems.
- Serve drinks with shaped silly straws.
- Use a castle cake pan design for the Fairy Birthday Cake. If your child has toy fairy figures, place them on the cake plate as decorations.
- Another option for a Fairy Birthday Cake is a mini wedding-style cake with a fairy figure on top. Simply bake one 9″ and one 6″ round cake. Stack the smaller cake in the center of the larger one, and cover the entire cake with pink frosting. Add the fairy figure as the cake topper. If you wish, add more decorations like colored sprinkles or frosting piped into flower shapes.

There are two types of people in this world.
There are those who, when a door, drawer or cabinet won't close, open it back up and carefully look for the cause. We may empty and entire drawer just to find that one object that's sticking up way in the back, or clean out the entire closet so that sleeve from that one jacket won't keep getting caught in the door crack.
Then there are those who, when a door, drawer or cabinet won't close, simply push harder, sometimes repeatedly. And if that doesn't work, they put a shoulder or hip into it.
While web-surfing recently, I came across an acronym I hadn't seen before: MAMIL, which stands for Middle Aged Man In Lycra.
My wife managed not to snort coffee out of her nose before saying, with a bit too much enthusiasm, "That's you!"
It's been a long time since I've been part of a demographic with its own acronym. I missed out on the yuppie thing — I was neither "urban" nor particularly "upwardly mobile" when I was a young professional. For a little while, my wife and I were DINKs — double-income, no kids — but that didn't last long.
If we didn't know it before, the credit card bill from our spring break trip to Hawaii confirmed it: my family is a bunch of foodies.
Indeed, while vacation planning for most people involves booking activities and scheduling day trips, my wife, kids and I spend the weeks leading up to a big trip poring over restaurant guides, picking out delectable-looking places to eat.
My kids are older than I think they are. Apparently, this has been happening for a while, and I'm only now jut starting to notice.
It really hit home for me last week, when my son turned 13. That's definitely one of those pivotal ages. He's now officially a teenager, with his own Facebook account and all.
OK, I've been hearing enough from friends and family down south about the Polar Vortex, and how somehow it's my fault that their weather has been more like it's supposed to be here.
I would like to lodge a complaint. I'm pretty sure the reason the Polar Vortex has moved south is because it has been pushed out of the way by what I'm calling a Tropical Vortex. I would gladly take back the typical winter weather I've come to enjoy, and I would ask that you stop blaming me if you don't enjoy it just as much.
"That canoe is your Austin-Healey," my wife recently declared.
Here's some background. The canoe to which she referred is a partially built wood-strip canoe, which has been taking up my half of the garage for a decade or so. (Yes, we have his and her sides of the garage; my side contains workbenches, tools and projects while she wastes her space by parking a car in it.)
Editor's note: This column was originally published Dec. 3, 2006.
There's a logical explanation for everything, but there are times when the workings of the human mind, particularly that of a 5-year-old, defies logic.
My son Billy went to kindergarten Monday wearing his new school T-shirt over a turtleneck.
When Billy came home, he was still wearing the turtleneck — backward — but the T-shirt had, apparently, vanished.
"Billy, where's your T-shirt?"
"I don't know."
"Did you take it off?"
"I didn't take it off."
I am no longer young — and it has nothing to do with my 40th birthday coming up later this month, or my worn out knees, or my more frequent need to wear my glasses or even my recent hernia surgery. In fact, I'm really trying not to dwell on any of those things.
No, my delusion of still being young was recently shattered by a pair of musical incidents.
Fact: Dinosaurs are way scarier than zombies.
What, you may ask, has led me to this conclusion? Let me explain.
I'm basing my findings on the most empirical of evidence. I'm calling my formula the nightmare quotient, which can be determined by the number of bad dreams or fitful nights of sleep that result from watching a scary movie. And while zombies are all the rage of late, by my calculations, dinosaurs are still way ahead.

India group for Liliendaal hotel
Sun and Sand Hotels, a part of the Sun and Sand Group of Companies will be hosting a turning of the sod ceremony today at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara at the proposed site for a new hotel venture.

According to sources, the company still needs to do an environmental impact and social assessment and a mining plan based on exploratory work before it applies for any mining licences.
The company, a subsidiary of Samsung Limited India, was granted a prospecting licence for 24,000 acres of land near the Aranka River Side.
The Sun and Sand Group website has a section for real estate ventures however the page is currently under construction.

Attempt to Assassinate in King Alfonso and His Loss' of at Least Sixteen Lives." THROWN AT ROYAL CARRIAGE King and Queen Narrowly Escape Death in Coftage After Their Wedding. [By Associated Press.] Madrid, May rejoicings over the marriage of King Alfonso and Princess Victoria had a terribly dramatic sequel at this after- noon as a bomb thrown from an up- per window exploded with loud effect near the coach occupied -by the king ana queen. Providentially King Al- fonso and Queen Victoria escaped by an electric wire deflecting the bomb, but at letist sixteen persons, most of them being of the personal and mili- tary escort and other spectators were killed. Many others were injured. The dead are: i, Captain Barrosa, commanding part of the king's escort. Lieut." Reysient." Lieut. Prendergast and six soldiers. Marquise of Golosa and her daugh- ter. Don Antonio Oalvo and his neice, aged G years. Jose Sola, seventy years of age. Louis Fonseea. One royal groom who was leading a horse drawing the coach carrying the king and queen. Several of those killed were stand- ing on the balcony, of the bouse from .which the bomb was thrown. Many soldiers of tlie escort were thrown from horses and injur- ed, fragments of the bomb struck a number of people in the crowd. The horse of one of the re- publican guards belonging to the es- cort received the full force of the charge in his chest, thus averting it from the two rulers. On Way to Palace. The explosion occured just as the royal about, to-enter the palace. .The rout.eo f the'cortege had been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayoi' street owing to popular de- sires. 'The 'procession had just pass{ ed through Mayor street and was about to turn into the esplande lead- ing to the palace when the explosion shook the buildings in" the vicinity, stunning .'a large- number of people and throwing the cortege into inex- tricable confusion. The royal coach was brought to a sudden stop by the shock, officers and soldiers of the cort falling to the ground about tlie equerry and horses that had been kill- ed. The screams of the terrified multitude mingled with the groans 'of the dying. It. was immediately seen that the royal coach was intact. 'King Alfonso immediately alighted and as- sisted Queen Victoria out of the car- riage. They then entered another coach and were driven swiftly to the palace. All this happened so quickly that pepple away from .the'immediate vic- inity were not aware-of the tragedy, that had been enacted and continued to acclaim their sovereign. Soon, however, there appeared the -royal carriage empty with two horses miss- ing- aiid others spattered with .blood, several of them bleeding from their wounds. Grooms and drivers'looked deathly'pale In-their- spangled uni- forms. .Then came a boy shouting that a bomb had been thrown at the king, The appearance of the king and queen in the coach brought out delirious ovations as the fact was recogr.lzed that the -sovereigns had been spared. Horrible Spectacle. Meantime the scene of the tragedy presented a horrible spectacle, with horses and men lying' about literally torn to pieces. Intense excitement prevailed, the mob invading the streets, while the guards maintain order and block the ap-' proaching streets. Bodies were wrapped in blankets and moved to lit- ters while the wounded were taken to hospitals in ambulances. The pave- ment was literally covered with blood and the upper stories of the buildings nearest were spattered with it. The place from which the bomb was is a boarding house. The chamber from which the missile was hurled was taken: May 22nd by a man from Baiv celona giving the name of Morale, and when the police surrounded the house, the man attempted to flee, but was captured. Another man escaped over the roof of houses. One of the injured proved to be a son-in-law of. Premier Moret's private secretary. Ac- cording to an official statement, it is not known whether one or more bomba wore tin-own. The statement con- tinues that it is impossible to ascer- tain at present the author of the out; rage, though it is known that a Cata- Jonian n'umed Manuel Duran took an apartment in the house from 'which the bomb was thrown on May 22nd..'' ;From the Queen's House. The bomb, which was concealed in a bouquet, was.of polished steel, a half centimetre thick. The house from which it was.thrown, according to some reports, belongs to the queen'o mother, having boon bequeathed to her by a philanthropist and .being the' only house she owns in Madrid. The house is opposite the church of the Sacrament and the captain general's residence. Wires of the Scene. .Frederick Whitridge, the American special envoy, cabled the president at 4 o'clock this afternoon, giving the details .concerning the attempt on the life of the king and queen. Later in the day.yWhitridge went to the royal palace, where he was assured that the king and queen were very tranquil, considering their narrow escape. The Duke of Settomayor was entering the palace at the time Whitridge was there showing that his wounds are not serious. Whitridge also called at the foreign office and on behalf of. the United State's expressed profound sym- pathy with the Spanish sovereigns and their people. Curious Incident. As a curious coincidence, it is just a year ago today that the bomb was thrown at King Alfonso in Paris. As the king, accompanied by President Loubet, was driving away from the gala performance at the opera, May 31st, 1905, an anarchist threw a bomb at the royal, carriage. It struck a trooper of the cuirrassier escort on the shoulder, fell to the ground and exploded without Injury to the Icing or president, who continued their drive to Palais D'Orsay. People are Indignant. The indignation of the people over the outrage was very great. Some French detectives were arrested be- cause they had a foreign appearance. After the outrage, the visitors' book was .opened at the palace and it was signed during the afternoon by the foreign princes, envoys, diplomats, ministers and officials oi all ranks. It is stated that on the arrival at the royal palace, the king and queen were both in tears. They were quickly sur- rounded by foreign princes, each anxious to show sympathy and 'offer congratulations on thir escape. From 2 .until G o'clock in the evening, it. was impossible for any brie to get near the' house from which the bomb was thrown. The house is close to thejtal- ia'n embassy, and .about a :quarter of a mile from' tlie 'royal 'palace; L- Many Arrests Made. '.Many arrests have been made, among them Manuel Duran, a Catelo- nian, who is believed to have been the principal conspirator. It is said that immediately on the Duran seized and hurried down stairs. As he reached the street, men flung themselves upon him shouting, "kill the assassin." "The mounted guard pressed around and took-him away. It had been rumored that King Al- fonso a few days ago received an anonymous warning of an intended outrage, but the authorities deny this. The Wedding. The tragic event of this afternoon, and the narrow margin by which King Alfonso and the new queen of Spain escaped death caused the brilliancy of the wedding temporarily to be forgot- ten, although it was to have inaugurat- ed a period of unprecedented festivi- ties. .Some of the wedding features, however', were such as to fix them- selves indelibly upon the minds of the spectators.' One of "the prettiest sights was the tiny.Prince Altonso, Cue actual heir to the throne, who accompanied the king. The little orphan of the Princess of Asturias, was clad in knickerbockers of white silk and reached only to the king's waist. King Alfonso, reached the altar long before Princess Victoria. The lengthy wait which ensxied led maiiy to fear an inopportune event. The king twice arose on the throne and gazed stead: fastly toward the door. Hardly an arm's length away, was the American special envoy, Frederick W. Whit- ridge, who, through chance or de- sign, occupied..the most favorable po- sition of any'in the assemblage. With him was General Dalztein, the French envoy, and. ;alpng side of him the envoy of Morocco, a huge swathed in white, and'next a Chi- nese' minister. Republican simplicity never was more strikingly exemplified. European courts were .represented by princes, most of them heirs to thrones, while France, the United States, and the south and Central American re- publics stood out with plain envoys. As the ceremony closed, King- Al- fonso embraced his bride and her mother. This glimpse of domestic ten- derness, 'as well as the democratic touch given by the presence of many poor'people in the galleries, who were there by the king's request, made the scene an effective one to which a mel- ancholy sequel quickly succeeded. BURNED BY HIS PLAYMATES. itlon claims that since then steps have been taken to give certain cred- itors a preference in. matter of pay- ments. The_ petition is filed on part of a number'of farmers who furnished the beets to the factory and the Union Pacific railroad which holds claim for freight.

May tive 'Crumpacker of Indiana' introduc- ed a bill today as a substitute for the Beveridge meat inspection amend- ment placed on the agricultural bill in the senate. The bill defines the authority which may be vested in the seci-etfj'y of agriculture and lifts its authority so as not to conflict with the police powers of the state. In accomplishing adequate inspection with this restriction, provision is made whereby the secretary of agri- culture may accept the inspection of state inspectors as to the sanitary condition of packing houses. Where the inspection is made on the part .of packers, which makes the state in- spection inadequate, the secretary 'of agriculture is authorized .to stop all meat products at th'e state lines and make .a thorough inspection. Where the state inspection is accepted by the secretary this federal inspection in transit will not be made. Certain labels and tags to denote the charac- ter of state inspection are provided for. CrumpackfM' believes the Beveridge amendment, in authorizing the feder- al inspection of packing houss Is a violation of the police of a state and that all rulings sustain this position. Edward Cudnhy, hoad of the Cudahy Packing Company of Om- aha, hns written-the members of the Nebraska delegation in congress pro- testing against the Bevertdgc meat inspection anuMUlmcnf to the agricul- tural appropriation bill. 'He objects to the provision compelling packers to pay for iuspectlon and complains that the bill is too drastic in every particular. Senate Is Busy. The senate today passed tho Knox immunity and omnibus lighthouse bill, with practically no debate pass- ed the military academy bill and was only prevented from passing the em- ployers liability bill by a motion to go into executive session. Most of the afternoon was devoted'to consid- eration in the executive session of the nomination of Judge James Wicker- sham 'to judge of the United States circuit court for the district of Alas- ka, but he was not confirmed. Charges against him, which have prevented confirmation for three years were urged strongly by Senators McCum- ber and .Hansbrough, Nelson, Teller, Pettus and a number of others. He was defended by Senators Fcraker, Dollingham, Bailey, Culberson and others. No vote was had, nor did it appear one is imminent. He is now serving on recess appointment. Murphy Has Bill. Washington, May tive Murphy of Missouri, introduced a bill today 'to provide for the free expression of representatives in con- gress on bills, measures, resolutions and rules, and for punishment for in- terferring therein." The bill- makes it a felony, punishable by two years im- prisonment and disqualification to hold any office of profit or trust for any representative or speaker in congress to promise to support or in- fluence the passage of any bill.

Officers are Chosen at the Springfield [By Associated Press.] Springfield, 111., May mem- bers of the various standing commit- tess of the German Baptist Brethren held their first meeting today and elected F. Shanger of South" Band. Ind., moderator to succeed Elder John Zuck of Clarence, Iowa; H. C. Early of Reading, clerk; I. B. Trout oC Elgin, writing clerk. At a meeting of the building com- mittee, it was arranged to construct a building as au annex to (he publishing plant of the Gospel Mes- senger at Elgin, Illinois. And still the pot boils! Thus, is the condition of politics in West iWaterloo described. The var- ious ingredients were stirred with a good big political club and with the hot fire which was under the bowl all day yesterday, the mess into which the game has at last arrived boiled and. bubbled, until a late hour last night. All day the members of each division of the party were chasing up and down the street after some "victim." John Hartman, C. D. Beck- er, J. E. Bragdpn, C. D. Kern, Cal. Kingsley, Ben Rodamar, and a num- ber of others were doing "personal work" and each had a "favorable" re- port to giye when the committees met last night. Both factions of the republican party had a "meeting" last evening. The Perkins "crowd" met somewhere, and it can be said to their credit that they eluded the most vigilant wnteh. A "crowd" was in the lobby of the Irving house, another was to be found in. Henderson's, but the Leavitt Johnson bank had been deserted, the Perkins people fully realizing that it was not a good place to meet. They met, however, a fact evidenced by the crowd of business men who have joined the ranks of the who were to be seen on the streets. Chet. Kern's office and Dr. Power's compartments in the Miller building were the favorite rendesvouz for the Cummins crowd and in each place, the lights burned until a late hour. The Rubicon has been crossed and the bridge has been destroyed and it now is up to the two factions to fight. This, they are both, determined to do. Today is the last day and.West Waterloo promises to be the 'scene of a political such as -it has not seen in a generation. Every man is being brought into line on both sides and Hie Perkins at last com- ing out in the open, are on the streets in open warfare. Yesterday the west side stores and business offices were literally show- ei'sd with "sale The Cummins people had a likeness of the governor with his platform while the Perkins "crowd" had a larger bill, with the platform and the list of delegates and alteranates. The bills were read with perceptible interest by the people and discussions throughout that section of the city were frequent. battle wil be fought and won this evening and while the Cummins people seemingly have a cinch on the caucus, this election, like others in the past, may prove a surprise and the Perkins followers may have a single trump up their sleeVe, which they can play, which will land them the victory. Orange Township Caucus. Orange township caucus was held last evening and a great fight was had. It is said that' the caucus was about divided. The Cummins men were said to have gained control, however, and the nominees for dele- gates to the county convention are said to 'be Cummins men. They are as follows: Harvey Hess. Simon Miller, Herbert and E. Glen- ny. Barrel Must Be Here. That which everybody aflirms must be true. Measured by this standard there is no doubt that a very fat "wad" has arrived in town. The only division of sentiment is with regard to who has it. The "Standpatters" swear by' the great horn spoons it is the "Progressives" for whom finan- cial re-inforcements have arrived, while the '''progressives" are quite ve- hement in asseverating that the "role" is railroad boodle furnished by J. Blythe through Ed. Hunter, of Des Moines for disbursement by Al. Boehmler, of Cedar Falls, and George Lichty, of this city. Both these gen- tlemen modestly deny the soft im- peachment, but wink the other eye and go out to beat the bushes and garner recruits from the hedges and byways. The democrats are dispos- ed to be good natured and concede that both are for once confining them- selves to statements of That, the wheels and bearings of local pol- ities' are being greased will admit of no contradiction. The "long green" is in evidence; also its effect. Both sides have money. The Perkins fel- lows have a long lead, and unless all signs are deceptive they are going to make themselves felt. The "Standpatters" played a strong card yesterday. They captured the judge's and clerks of the primary at Cedivr Falls and if the other side wins It will be with clubs and axes for trumps. Last night the indications wore that there would be a furniture breaking time at Cedar Falls, this evening. The Cummins following were apprehensive' that their oppon- ents would hestitate at. no chicanery to win, even though they hud to re- sort to methods that would make train robbery respectable by compar- ison.

Close upon their heels was John Hartman and a sextet of Cummins patriots busy explaining that his santanic jesty was a flower of virtue compared to the editor of the Sioux City Jour- nal. These latter portrayed the evils of railroad domination of the party and showed the state was headed for the demnition bowwows if he should; capture the primaries today. It so happened that W. H. Baily, au eminent attorney from Des Moines, strayed into the city, early yester- day morning. Mr. Baily inscribed- his full name and place of residence upon the register at the Irving house. That he was from Des Moines was sufficient to set tongues wagging. ,He was set down at once as an emissary of the governor, and kept under sur- veillance until noon, when alarm gave way to a sigh of relief. Mr. Baily was found to have come hither to plead a case for a client before the district court. But the Perkins fel- lows had scarcely recovered, from .the hysterics of fright, when' a deputy pharmacy commissioner from Web- ster City "lit" at the Irving. He frank- ly admitted he had come to Waterloo to exert a modest influence for Cum- mins. Therefore he was looked upon with suspicion, and it was only by great persuasion that Call Kingsley was restrained from "sicking" his Irisn dog, "Mickey, the upon him. An examination showed that he had come unarmed and as his mis- sion appeared to be peaceful, he .was permitted to roam about unmolested. Two' traveling' men, being put "wise to the loudly announced that they were in town to do "strong arm" -work for Perkins. Thereafter John Hartman went" about attended by his vicious dog, Blucher, while Chet Kern fortified himself with a blank injunction to serve at a mo- ment's notice. Pathetic Incident. A pathetic incident in was the fact that the appeal to re- publicans of the county, issued by the Perkins following yesterday, had been written by B. G. Miller, .whose death from a stroke of apoplexy oc- curred Wednesday evening, only a few hours after he had completed, the work. It was his last call to his. republican comrades. It was stated to a representative of the Times-Tri- bune that Mr. Miller had written the appeal in its entirety a few hours pre- ceding the summons that closed his life. Editor Witt, of Shell Rock, a dis- tant relative of the famous Russian, winged his flight to Waterloo yester- day. Whether he came with full de- signs against the governor or with ulterior motives for the undoing of Editor Perkins, was not learned. Edi-. tor Witte moved about a mood of deep mystery. Possibly will lift the veil today and disclose where "he is at." The friends of the governor were disposed to regard, him with lively suspicion. This ply he was an enemy bearing Greek gifts. While there is room for the best information last night, was that the having an excellent organization, would win in the contest at the primaries in West Waterloo, this evening. The Perkins crowd were not at all inclined to make any concessions, but there was an air of confidence about the enemy that greatly disturbed them.

THE attitude of suspicion and distrust between the operators and officials of one railroad system and those of another grew out of the evils of competition during that peroid when the wishes of promoters and the public, rather than economic needs, determined railroad construction.
When absentee ownership demanded of distant operators profits which they could not possibly earn because tonnage was lacking, these railroad operators were forced into cut-throat competitive practices to hold their jobs. Because they were men of intelligence, imagination, initiative and ability, they developed ingenious ways of securing business. Many methods of crippling another railroad system were devised and practised.
Until the 'nineties, when greater uniformity of gauge, couplings and other equipment was gradually developed by the railroad systems, there was no great interchange of cars between railroads. In shipping a carload of goods from Kansas City to New York, for instance, the car containing the goods went no farther than the end of the railroad owning it. The goods were then transferred to another car belonging to a connecting railroad. This procedure was repeated at the terminal of each railway system over

Though Best Picture and its original screenplay counterpart give it a run for its money, this is probably the most unpredictable of the major races. Anyone but Paul Thomas Anderson could easily win, especially after "The Theory of Everything" beat "The Imitation Game" at the BAFTAs. "Game" had seemingly been the frontrunner, but "Theory," "Whiplash" and the soaring "American Sniper" are all looking to upset it -- and we think one of them will.
Our prediction below. Check out our predictions in other categories here.
The Nominees:
"American Sniper," Jason Hall
"The Imitation Game," Graham Moore
"Inherent Vice," Paul Thomas Anderson
"The Theory of Everything," Anthony McCarten
"Whiplash," Damien Chazelle
Will Win: "Whiplash"
Could Win: "The Imitation Game" or "The Theory of Everything" or "American Sniper"
Should Win: "Whiplash"
Shoulda Been Here: "Gone Girl"

"AussieKitten's Honolulu Page" Honolulu by AussieKitten
Honolulu Travel Guide: 2,020 reviews and 4,843 photos
My short stay in Honolulu-Waikiki was interesting, as I had conjured up this image of what Hawaii would be like since my childhood. When I arrived there around midnight it was damp from the rain and as the coach drove through the area all I could see was a concrete jungle with a few green palms and bushes dotted around the place. This was not my view, however, I was delighted to be greeted by a native with a kiss on the cheek, an "aloha" and a frangipani lei. Finally, I received my lei (and I mean the flower type)... as a child I fantasised having a perfumed lei around my neck.
When morning arrived the clouds were looming above and the roads were wet, so I went for a walk around the area and stayed undercover. Unfortunately I did not get the chance to see Diamond Head due to the weather. Ah well, next time :)

Used to the Windows way of doing I just found out OS X has no merge function – moving means replacing the folder. While this does make sense, I miss merging!
I've two Wordpress directories, 1 contains default source and 2 contains worked version with plugins custom theme etc.
I want to see difference between this two, so I'm putting it on SVN. Folder 1 is already up, now in theory I should simply merge contents of 2 with 1 by replacing everything with contents of 2 but leaving hidden SVN files untouched.
Unfortunately OS X, when moving, replaces the folder so that my SVN client goes crazy and doesn't understand folder structure anymore.
So, I believe my options are
mv and
ditto, but which one would you use in my situation and how?
sudo mv wordpress /Documents/svn/wwwholiday/trunk/wordpress
I want
mv to overwrite everything it finds, but leave alone whatever is already inside folder 1 and has no duplicate in folder 2.

The Golden Campaign
|Collect all Gold World Tour Badges
There are 30 World Tour Badges. To get all 30 You have to:
Unlock All 9 Comics:
Comics are little stories about each member of Team SSX. They can be unlocked by playing through World Tour. After you unlock each character, their comic will also be unlocked.
Beat Griff with 6 Different SSX members in:
Finish all 9 Deadly Decents:
Simply finish Deadly Descents, using any gear, rewinds or character. You must complete each range's Descent in World Tour before you may advance to the next range.
Finish all 9 Deadly Decents Using No Rewinds:
A little bit more challenging as you must complete all nine descents with any character, without using rewinds. You are allowed to use equipment to earn this badge.
Knock Down 25 Players:
Knocking down other riders is only possible in World Tour mode. In order to knockdown a rider, you simply snowboard through them and your character should push them over. Knocking over the same rider multiple times using rewind DOES work, but note that rewinding allows other riders to get ahead, therefore limiting the tactic's usefulness.

Ok, So I hve the Facebook plugin up and running fine. I can get it to post to my fan page no trouble at all. It even does it if i create sheduled posts which is what i need it to do.
BUT, every morning i check my page and there is no post on facebook! So i checked my settings and I can see that the Social Publisher option keeps puting my "Publish to fan page" back to "Disabled". Im not sure if this is happening over night or if this happens at the time the post is due to be published.
If i create a test post and set it to publish in 5 minutes then it works perfectly. Im guessing its a time setting that is defaulting at midnight or something. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

"My fiancé and I we're looking for something simple yet elegant... This were the perfect match for us not only do they match with our colors they are elegant, they are nicely made and the best part is we can add a picture of us... I highly recommend this to anyone!!"
"We used a lot of colorful pictures from our engagement shoot so our guests were blown away even with the standard finishing of the invite. We also added a photo on the back so it became a keep sake for many."
"Beautiful design printed on a quality textured paper stock. I fell in love with this card in lilac. So classy, so beautiful. It felt right...for all you brides, you know what I mean!"
"Great design with a tint of nostalgia. WPD designers are easy to work with - incorporated more wording on the back of the card at my request. Customer service was also top notch. My cards were delayed - WPD happily sent me another batch for next day delivery. Would definitely recommend this design and WPD in general to friends."
"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."

Butternut Squash Tamales
Makes 12-20 tamales, depending on size
2 cups butternut squash, diced
3 cups vegetable broth
6 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce, chiles reserved for filling
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups masa harina, like Maseca or PAN
up to ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
**Before cooking, soak about 20 corn husks in hot water for ½ hour.
1. Bring broth to a boil and add diced squash, green onion, adobo sauce, salt and cumin. Cook for 15 minutes or until squash is tender.
2. Drain the broth into a bowl and reserve. Remove the squash and save other half for the filling. Mash the squash and mix in the masa. Slowly add broth and add oil, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough is moist.
3. Cover the dough with a damp towel or plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out while you prepare the filling.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 green onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 chiles chipotles en adobo, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup Spanish olives with pimentos, chopped
½ cup golden raisins
¼ cup capers, drained from the brine
1 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon orange zest
½ cup cilantro, finely chopped
1. Heat the oil in a skillet, then add green onions, garlic, chipotles, cumin and salt. Cook for about 1 minute, further breaking up the chiles with the back of a wooden spoon.
2. Add reserved squash, olives, raisins, capers, and cook 1 minute more, stirring occasionally.
3. Add broth and orange zest. Cook on medium heat for another 2 minutes. Add cilantro and remove from the heat.
4. Assemble tamales: Spread ¼ cup dough in the husk, and top with 2-3 tablespoons of the filling. Spread another few tablespoons of the dough on top, leaving enough room for folding or tying ends. Wrap tamales and place in tamale steamer.
5. Steam tamales for about 1 hour, then serve!

Cuvier's excursion into the realm of popular exposition was consolidated the year after his first lectures on geology: the galleries of the Muséum were reopened to the public for the first time since the height of the Revolution, and his own new gallery of comparative anatomy gave concrete and visible form to his conception of his science. At the same time the publication of his research in the Annales du Muséum, directed at his fellow naturalists in France and beyond, continued unabated. There were, for example, papers on the fossil bones of bears, hyenas, and rhinoceros, all distinct from their respective living species. More striking still was Cuvier's analysis of the celebrated "Ohio animal," known for more than half a century and the focus of continual debate among naturalists throughout the scientific world. Cuvier gave an authoritative analysis of its anatomy; claimed it was a distinct genus, much further from living elephants than the mammoth (though it had been repeatedly confused with that species); named it Mastodon; and distinguished several species.
In the papers he published in 1806, Cuvier began to be more explicit about the possible character of the event that, he believed, had wiped out all these fossil species. There was no grand speculation, just cautious inferences based on concrete evidence. In his rhinoceros paper Cuvier discussed the significance of the well-known report by Pallas, dating from his exploration of Siberia many years earlier, that he had found a fossil rhinoceros with some of its skin preserved in ice or frozen ground.

Baalke Hasn't Ruled Out Kaepernick TradeTrent Baalke is not ruling out the possibility of still striking a trade for Colin Kaepernick, though he's adamant that he hopes to see the quarterback working in new 49ers coach Chip Kelly's system.
How Many Starting Quarterbacks Do The Broncos Need?The Denver Broncos signed Mark Sanchez and are courting Colin Kaepernick. Are two starting quarterbacks better, or worse, than one?
49ers, Broncos Make Progress On Agreement To Trade KaepernickThere is a report the Broncos and 49ers have settled on the terms of an agreement to trade quarter Colin Kaepernick, but there is still the issue of a pay cut to iron out.
Deadline Passes; Kaepernick Remains With The 49ersAt least for the short term, disgruntled quarterback Colin Kaepernick remains a San Francisco 49er.
Baalke: Kaepernick 'Absolutely' Expected On 49ers Roster, Earn Salary GuaranteeSpeculation over whether San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaeperick would remain with the team may have ended, at least for the near term, after General Manager Trent Baalke announced Kaepernick "absolutely" would be on the roster on when a salary guarantee kicks in.
RG3 And Colin Kaepernick - NFL Quarterbacks As Fallen StarsOnce franchise quarterbacks, RG3 and Colin Kaepernick are unwanted by their own teams. Will another NFL team give them a chance?
San Francisco 49ers Season In Review: Tough Going For Tomsula And KaepernickThe 2015 San Francisco 49ers didn't stand much of a chance, considering how much talent the defense lost from the previous season. Injuries didn't help, nor did the ineffectiveness of starting quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
49ers' Kaepernick Has Torn Thumb Ligament On Throwing Hand49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has a torn ligament in the thumb on his throwing hand and surgery has been recommended.
Injury Report: Niners Have Just Three Injury Questions For FinaleThe end of a long season has arrived for the San Francisco 49ers as they prepare to host the St. Louis Rams in the 2015 regular-season finale at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers have seen too many injuries this year, losing 11 players to season-ending injuries.
Disappointing 2015 Season For 49ers Almost At An EndDespite losing a big-name coach and a lot of defensive talent from last year's 8-8 team, the San Francisco 49ers had high hopes for the 2015 season. However, it just hasn't turned out that way for them this year. With one game left to play, the 49ers are just 4-11 and on the verge of their worst season since 2005.
The Worst Offenses In San Francisco 49ers History: Where Does 2015 Rank?When NFL fans across the world think of the San Francisco 49ers, they envision Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing passes to Jerry Rice.
Is Blaine Gabbert Good Enough To Lead The 49ers In 2016?Since installing QB Blaine Gabbert as the starter last month, the San Francisco 49ers have posted a 2-2 record after a 2-6 start to the season. The defense is holding its own, even on the road now, and Gabbert certainly has played well enough to win games.

Crystal Coast Life
Thursday, December 31, 2015
The calendar says that it is winter, but Mother Nature seems a little confused.
It is New Year's Eve and for a couple of weeks, our low temperatures have been around 64F. Our high temperatures have mostly been in the mid-seventies but we have reached 80F a couple of times.
You can read about this year's Crystal Coast fall at this post, A Wet Early Fall 2015.
Fall brings some great memories, but because of the warm weather it has been a challenge to get in a fall mode, much less bundled up for winter. One thing is for sure this past November's weather was memorable.
The water temperature in the river is close to 70F and that has prompted some holiday boat rides.
We will be on the lookout for winter, but from the forecasts that I am seeing the cherry tomatoes that I am picking beside our house are going to be safe into early January 2016.
It is unlikely we will see Raymond's Gut frozen over in January like it did last year but it is hard to predict weather.

It is Summer at the Beach!
If there was any doubt that summer is here, it has been erased the weather during the third week of June 2015. Afternoon temperatures have been in the nineties even along the beaches.
The first afternoon thunderstorms showed up on Wednesday afternoon so it has been nearly perfect beach weather if you can handle the heat. It has been so hot that I started mowing my yard at 7:30 AM this morning and quit after less than half an hour of mowing. I will start again tomorrow but I will be out there even earlier.
Of course if you are standing in water like I was a couple weekends ago, the air temperature is not nearly as important. If you would like to read more about summer at the beach, try a visit to my Coastal Paradise website or if you would like to cut to the chase and learn about my favorite beach, read this article, A Beach That Touches Everyone.
We also publish both a Kindle travel guide for $3.99 and a paperback travel guide for a little over $20 for Emerald Isle and the Crystal Coast. We also have a free online travel guide to Emerald Isle.
Head on down as soon as you can this unbelievable weather likely will not last. We will soon be back to afternoon thunderstorms. This is a great area to visit and an even better place to live.

The Spring Tonic of Blue Waters and Blue Skies
The Crystal Coast is warming quickly. It is March 10, 2015, 72F before noon and the odds are that we will see fresh local strawberries within the next four to five weeks.
While I never stop boating here on the Crystal Coast, I always look forward to those days when it is easy to spend time on the water. I took my skiff for a quick ride down the White Oak River this past early March weekend.
The water temperature was around 50F out in the river and almost 55F back in the marshes but that is still a little chilly for serious boating and certainly too cool for the first kayaking trip of the season.
However, it will not be very long before I am regularly enjoying the zig and zag of the ride down the White Oak.
We have a lot of special places that you can easily visit here on the Crystal Coast. If the winter blahs have you down, we have some special medicine to make you feel better as you are riding that roller coaster of spring weather.

The blues, greens, and golds are still here
It is late fall enhanced with a taste of warm December weather in Carteret County. The greens, blues, and golds are what we are accustomed to this time of year.
Fall has been great as usual with the only caveat being that the middle of November was not so great. Now that the weather is improving, being back on the beach is a reality.
The good news is that while it feels like fall is coming to an end, this is the Crystal Coast and we can still have some shorts weather in December and some beach days in January.
Come visit before we get to our frozen months and have to spend our time dreaming of warm waters.

Yet Another Amazing Crystal Coast Fall
|Looking Across Sound to Bogue Inlet & Bear Island
My post, Fall Belongs to the Southern Coast, shows that I am in complete agreement. The picture at the top of the post was taken October 1, 2014 from the dock at Hammocks Beach State Park. The area from the dock to Bear Island on the right on the horizon is one of the most beautiful areas in the world. It is one of my favorite places in the fall.
I have been writing about nice fall weather on the North Carolina coast is for a long time. One of my earliest posts, That Fall Feeling, was written in 2008. The next year I wrote, Savoring a Southern Fall. A year later came Fall Pleasures on the Carolina Coast which was published on Saturday, October 09, 2010. The next year on Saturday, November 12, 2011, I wrote Fall on the Crystal Coast. We were gone to Canada in early fall of 2012, but I did manage to write, Quiet Waters in November of that year. Sometimes it is hard to write about fall when summer is still hanging around like it did 2013. Eventually I did manage a post entitled Fall On The Coast Hits Its Stride.
Fall is a great time of year at the coast, do not miss it. A visit to the Crystal Coast in the fall can make the winter seem a lot shorter and show you that fall does not end when the leaves are gone from the trees.

Summer Is Already Slipping Away
|White Oak River, July 2014
Schools and jobs will call everyone back to home, but as many know, the beach gets even better as the season slips into the fall.
It has already been a great early start to summer. We had almost as much perfect clear and dry weather as our yards and gardens could stand. Now we seem to be getting more than our fair share of rain. Still there will be lots more perfect beach days for everyone to enjoy our great beaches. Some people who visit will find a special beach to love and end up having a great beach vacation that they will remember for years.
The Crystal Coast got off easy with Hurricane Arthur and probably had a record weekend just a couple of days afterwards. For me it has been a summer with beautiful waves on the beach and some unbelievably scenic times kayaking out on the river. There are always plenty of other fun things to do while at the beach.
The summer weather has brought us plenty of humidity and heat, but we have also had the surf to cure both. Those warm humid evenings have made for some wonderful beach evenings. Whether I have been on the oyster rocks catching drum or standing on the beach flinging metal into the surf, I have had a great time. I have also enjoyed some great cruises into the Swansboro marshes in our skiff.
I hope summer does not disappear too quickly. Like many folks I am just getting warmed up. Today looks like a wonderful day for a hike along the beach in our world without walls.

Spring Is Sliding Fast, Beach Season Next
We had a cold spring and one stormy late April weekend, but the great weather has finally found us.
Blue skies and beautiful blue waters to match rescued us from the grip of some northern weather that had lost its way.
Finally, a week late, the first local strawberries arrived on April 24 and I am not far from picking my first ripe cherry tomato of the season. The gardens are moving along faster than the fishing.
My two April kayak trips have resulted in nary a nibble, but conditions were windy so I did not stay out on the river long. I have heard of some fish being caught from the surf recently.
Our last weekend in April was a wonderful one with plenty of possibilities. Our choice for the last April Sunday afternoon was a quick visit to Beaufort, one of our favorite places to visit.
We had a great time but walking by the water just made me want that much more to answer the call of the river or get back to one of our irresistible beaches.
I am hoping for a long beach hike on Friday, May 2. I expect to get my feet wet since the water has warmed so much since by mid-April beach hike.
If you what an overview of the information that I provide about the Crystal Coast, visit my Life Along The Crystal Coast Page.
Many locals will tell you that there is no better way to see the area than through my eyes and their extensions, the lenses of my cameras. If you would like to see some of those pictures of the spectacular scenery in our area, check out our recently published $2.99 Kindle book, 100 Pictures, 1000 Words, A Crystal Coast Year. It is worth clicking on the link just to see the free sample of seven pictures. I picked the best 100 pictures from the over 40,000 that I took last year. Kindle reader software works on just about every platform including iPads and iPhones.

The meetings on Monday and Tuesday between Greek Cypriot leader Dimitris Christofias and his Turkish Cypriot counterpart, Dervis Eroglu, will be the fifth time the Secretary-General will be present at the United Nations-facilitated talks.
"The Secretary-General looks forward to a productive meeting and concrete progress," said a statement issued by his spokesperson, which added thHe believes that with political will and firm commitment the two leaders can and should reach a much-needed settlement on Cyprusat the UN chief has conveyed his expectations to the two leaders.
"He believes that with political will and firm commitment the two leaders can and should reach a much-needed settlement on Cyprus," it added.
The UN-facilitated talks began in 2008 with the aim of eventually setting up a federal government with a single international personality in a bi-zonal, bi-communal country, with Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot constituent states of equal status.
Earlier this month, the Secretary-General's Special Adviser on Cyprus, Alexander Downer, told reporters in Nicosia that Mr. Christofias and Mr. Eroglu will continue to make efforts to reach agreement on core issues, including governance and power-sharing, property rights, territory and citizenship.
The UN has maintained a peacekeeping mission (UNFICYP) in Cyprus since 1964 after an outbreak of inter-communal tensions.

The Devaney Sports Center's time as home for Nebraska basketball ends tonight when Minnesota visits. The Cornhuskers will move to Pinnacle Bank Arena just west of campus next season after 37 years in the Devaney. The building will become the Nebraska volleyball team's arena next fall after a $20 million facelift. The Huskers have won 75% of its games overall at the Devaney and 60% of its conferences games. The building was named for Nebraska Hall of Fame football coach Bob Devaney. Devaney, who also was the school's athletic director, in 1971 pushed for a new multi-sports facility to replace the Nebraska Coliseum.
Tommie Frazier and fellow former Nebraska stars Trev Alberts and Eric Crouch return to the 2013 Football Bowl Subdivision ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame according to the Omaha World Herald. The class will be announced May 7 in New York. Frazier will be on the ballot for the third time, and being denied selection has drawn strong reaction each of the past two years, both locally and nationally. The quarterback was the Heisman Trophy runner-up and Johnny Unitas Award winner in 1995, and helped lead Nebraska to national championships in 1994 and '95. Crouch won the 2001 Heisman and still holds the NCAA record for career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback with 59. Alberts was the recipient of the Butkus Award in 1993 and an NFF National Scholar-Athlete. A total of 77 players and five coaches make up the ballot for the 2013 class, and the ballot was recently mailed to more than 12,000 National Football Foundation members and current hall of famers. Those selected will be inducted during a Dec. 10 dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. Will Shields was the last former Husker to go into the College Football Hall of Fame, inducted in 2011.

Wayne State finished the 2012-13 season with a 17-10 record, tied for fourth in the NSIC South with a 13-9 league mark, and did not have one senior on this year's team.
