ID requirements
Remember your ID and travel documents.
You've planned and paid for your trip and you're ready to go - don't let missing travel documents stop your plans short. Each country on your itinerary may have different entrance and exit requirements and all are strictly enforced. It's your responsibility to ensure the documents you use to leave are sufficient to get you back home. If you do not have documentation that will allow entry for you or your children to all countries on your reservation, you will not be allowed to board your flight.
Guests of all ages require identification that matches the name and spelling on their ticket. You are responsible for making sure that you, and any child travelling with you, have the proper identification and travel documentation required to enter or connect through each country on your itinerary. Please consult with the nearest embassy or consulate of each country you plan to visit.
- Travel to Canada - Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
Canada has introduced a new entry requirement, known as an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). If you are a foreign traveller who used to travel to Canada without a visa, you are now expected to apply online for an eTA prior to travelling to Canada by air. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and any travellers who currently hold a valid visa.
The application process is affordable, doesn't take long to complete, and in most cases the eTA will be granted within minutes of applying. Until the end of September 2016, if you require, but do not have an eTA, you will still be able to board a flight to Canada as long as you are holding valid travel documents, such as a passport. To apply and find out more, visit Canada.ca/eTA.
- Passports
We strongly recommend that you apply for a new passport if your current passport is damaged. Guests travelling with a passport that is damaged in any way could face significant delays and may be denied boarding.
- Lost or stolen passports
If your passport has been lost or stolen, contact the consulate/embassy of your issuing country without delay. Canadians can report a lost or stolen passport to the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate. Passports located or turned in to a WestJet representative will be returned to the originating country.

That's a nice photo of Paris, isn't it? Nope! That's not Paris and no, it's not Disney World or even the Las Vegas Strip; it's a replica Paris in China. What makes this clone of Paris even more weird is that it's a ghost town. Only about 2,000 people live there, which means that those giant skyscrapers, with 700+ units tend to only have around 30 people living in each of them. This city has become a place to take wedding photos for Chinese citizens who can't afford to travel to the real Paris... — mydesignstories.com

The African American Outreach, (AAO), a group under the umbrella of the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte, gathered for a Back to School event held at Hornet's Nest Park, in West Charlotte, last Saturday, Aug. 16th. The inaugural celebration, hosted by AAO organizers, Jeannette Little and Sybil Gaines, attracted over 60 participants including 20 with Down syndrome, ages, six months to 30 years, and family members.
Nigel Smith, of Mr. Nigel & Friends Entertainment, amused and involved everyone with his bongos, guitar, a racing game and dancing that lit up the faces and smiles of those with DS and those without who constantly seek happiness for their loved ones.
"The AAO strives to provide opportunities for African Americans with Down syndrome to achieve their greatest potential. Our desire is to encourage socialization skills for our children and adults and to provide networking and informative opportunities for parents," said Little.
Kathryn Lariviere, DSAGC executive director provided information about the Carolinas Down Syndrome Conference, September 26th and 27th, at Hilton Charlotte University Place and Charlotte's Buddy Walk, October 11th, at Jerry Richardson Football Stadium, UNC-Charlotte. The conference targets teachers and therapists on Friday while the next day caters to teens/adults with DS and their siblings.
"People shy away from organizations that don't resemble themselves and when Jeannette stepped up to lead and organize an African American group, I was so thrilled. We need to get information and available services to all individuals with Down syndrome. The camaraderie is especially important," said Lairviere.
Donations included an IKEA Swedish Food Market basket for raffle, Target supplied school supplies, Wal-Mart donated food, Compare Foods provided beverages and snacks, Home Depot, BI-LO Grocers, Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's. supported with gift cards.
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability. The average IQ of a young adult with Down syndrome is 50, equivalent to the mental age of an 8 or 9 year old child, but this varies widely.

Redlicki, from Hawthorn Woods, Ill., is listed as a blue chip recruit (No. 13 in the nation) in the class of 2014 by TennisRecruiting.net. He has represented the United States in all four of the junior Grand Slams. His best result was at the 2013 U.S. Open where he reached the round of 16 in singles and won the doubles title with partner Kamil Majchrzak of Poland. He was a semifinalist in both singles and doubles (w/Luca Corinteli) at the 2013 Easter Bowl, also reaching the semifinals in doubles with Corinteli at the USTA International Spring Championships that same year. He also captured the doubles title at the USTA Boys' 18 National Clay Court Championships in 2013 (w/Paul Oosterbaan). Redlicki has spent the better part of the last year playing a number of Futures events as an amateur on the ITF Pro Circuit, reaching the doubles final in Palm Coast, Fla. (w/Taylor Fritz), and the semifinals at tournaments in Tampa, Fla. and Orange Park, Fla. (both w/Catalin Gard). Redlicki, who trains with USTA Player Development in Boca Raton, Fla., was ranked No. 12 in the 2013 Final USTA Combined Rankings and achieved a career-high junior ITF Ranking of No. 41 in July of 2013.
"This continues our tradition of getting some of the best players in America to join our program," said Martin, who recently completed his 21st season as head coach at UCLA with another run to the NCAA Semifinals. "Martin will definitely help us in singles, however as a U.S. Open doubles champion, he's going to be one of the top doubles players in the country from the moment he arrives on campus. I think his addition to our program is going to keep us in contention for a championship for the next three to four years."

Former New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Anthony Hargrove has agreed to a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a league source.
Hargrove's departure isn't a big surprise. The Saints have been making over their tackle position this offseason, adding veterans Shaun Rogers and Aubrayo Franklin. And Hargrove was looking for an opportunity to play some more snaps at defensive end elsewhere, if possible.
The 28-year-old certainly made a big impact with the Saints for two years as a versatile backup and exuberant personality. He turned around his life and career in New Orleans after signing in 2009 following a year-long suspension for repeated drug policy violations.
Hargrove started six games in 2009, when he had five sacks. He played in all 16 games last year with zero starts and one sack. He also forced three fumbles during his two years with the Saints.

Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

Yesterday by early afternoon snow fall was filling tracks and accumulation of snow was steady much to the delight of all. Snow fall continued through the night diminishing intensity. Temps a tad warmer today and wind on the runs calm with 5mph from the south on the mountain top. It is going to be an incredible day on the slopes!

The Stranger
by Albert Camus
The Stranger Part 2, Chapter 3 Summary
- By the beginning of summer (it has been a full year since the shooting), trial has been set for June, in the Court of Assizes.
- Meursault's attorney tells him that it wouldn't last more than two or three days because a more interesting parricide (the murder of a family member) case is coming up after his trial.
- Trial opens with the sun glaring outside (surprise) and the air stifling inside. The room is filled with people—the panel of judges, the deputies, the bailiff, the jury, the prosecutors and lawyers, the potential witnesses, and the press. Shortly before court is in session, one of the journalists tell Meursault that since summer is the slow season for news, the press has gotten all worked up about Meursault's case; it and the parricide are the only things worth writing about.
- The presiding judge reins in the courtroom, questioning the prosecution, defense, and finally instructing the jury. He then proceeds to call witnesses for examination and cross-examination.
- The room gets hotter, and to demonstrate as much, everyone fans themselves with papers.
- Meursault's examination begins right away by the presiding judge. First he asks Meursault's name, age, date and place of birth, and occupation. Then it proceeds to Maman and the question of why Meursault put her in the home.
- Meursault says it is because he doesn't have the money to hire private help. When asked whether the decision was hard on him, Meursault responds that no, it wasn't, since Maman didn't expect anything from him anymore.
- The prosecution continues the line of questioning, but on the issue of intent. When asked whether Meursault intended to kill the Arab, Meursault answers no. Well, then, why did he return—armed—to precisely the same spot? Meursault answers that it just happened that way.
- With that, the hearing is adjourned until the afternoon, at which time the witnesses will be called.
- Meursault is taken back to the prison for lunch and promptly back to the courthouse thereafter.
- By now, the courtroom has gotten even hotter.
- The director of the home is called to the stand first. He testifies that Maman did complain of Meursault often, though that is customary. Even so, she did resent being put in the home.
- He adds that Meursault seemed "calm" the day of the funeral, "calm" meaning he didn't want to see Maman, didn't cry once, and left without paying respects at her grave. Moreover, he says, Meursault did not even know Maman's age.
- By now the prosecutor is positively gleeful; he passes his turn to question.
- Meursault feels the sudden "stupid urge to cry," as he realizes how much all the people in the courtroom hate him.
- The caretaker is then called to the stand, and answers more or less the same questions. He testifies that Meursault hadn't wanted to see Maman, that he had smoked and slept at the vigil, and that he had some coffee as well. The prosecutor is now exultant, noting to the jury that a good son would have refused coffee and cigarettes.
- Thomas Perez is the next witness. He testifies that he had never met Meursault before the funeral, and that his own "sadness" prevented him from being able to see the young man anyway.
- The prosecutor asks Perez if he saw Meursault cry, and he says no, he didn't.
- In a burst of clever lawyery-ness, Meursault's own lawyer asks Perez if he saw Meursault not cry, to which Perez also must also answer "no." In other words, just because Perez didn't see Meursault cry, it doesn't mean he never did.
- The defense lawyer, exulting in his cleverness, announces with finality: "Here we have a perfect reflection of this entire trial: everything is true and nothing is true." An absurd proclamation. Shmoopers, take note.
- A five minute recess is had by all, during which the defense attorney, still quite pleased with himself, tells Meursault that everything is working out fine.
- Afterwards, Celeste is called by the defense. The prosecutor questions him, and Celeste testifies that Meursault is a customer and a friend of his, and though he may come off as withdrawn sometimes, he is "a man."
- You know there's something wrong when this is the best defense of your character you've heard so far.
- With respect to the crime committed, Celeste says that it's pure bad luck, that everyone has bad luck, and that it leaves you "defenseless" when it happens. Celeste's further attempts to support Meursault are cut short by the presiding judge. Helpless, Celeste looks at a grateful Meursault and trembles.
- Marie is called next. The prosecutor gets nasty with her, calling her Meursault's mistress and their relationship an affair. He has her go detail their first date together, which, in case you forgot, was the day after Maman's death.
- Marie resists, but has to testify. She goes over the swim, the movies, and the hanky-panky at Meursault's apartment. The courtroom is completely silent when the prosecutor notes that the movie was a comedy by Fernandel. Marie begins to cry—it's not as bad as it sounds! She insists Meursault didn't do anything wrong. The bailiff ushers the sobbing Marie out at the signal of the judge.
- Well that just about does it. Masson's and Salamano's subsequent testimonies are basically useless in trying to establish any good character on Meursault's part. No one seems to understand.
- Raymond is the last witness. He blurts out that Meursault is innocent. The judge reprimands him, as he's supposed to be calmly relating facts, not blabbing on about his opinion. The prosecutor gets nasty with Raymond as well, painting a picture of him as a girlfriend-beater, a pimp, and an accomplice of Meursault's. He makes it pretty clear that Raymond was out to kill the Arab in order to settle this business with his ex-girlfriend/mistress.
- Meursault's attorney objects, asking whether Meursault is on trial for burying his mother or for killing a man.
- It's a good point, but the prosecutor refutes it; he claims there is a "profound, fundamental, and tragic relationship between the two."
- The courtroom seems to side with the prosecutor as he closes trial with the statement that Meursault had "buried his mother with crime in his heart."
- Questioning is adjourned.
- Meursault reflects on the town he once loved and the moments when he was once happy. But then he uses a different word, "content," to describe his former life. He notes that he used to sleep easily, dreamlessly, and that it seems a given life path can lead to prison just as easily as it can lead to anything else.

Mechanical and biochemical regulation of clathrin-mediated endocytosis
Clathrin-mediated endoctyosis (CME) maintains cellular and organismal homeostasis by mediating the uptake of nutrients and controlling the expression and activity of signaling receptors. The fundamental functional unit of CME is a clathrin-coated pit (CCP) and the dynamic behavior of CCPs has been observed to be highly heterogeneous. We are interested in how mechanical and chemical stimuli affect the behavior of CCP internalization. With respect to the latter we seek to define the biochemical regulation of activated chemokine receptor CXCR4 internalization, with the long term goal of understanding the dynamics of membrane trafficking and signaling during cell motility. The combination of total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIR-FM) and computational analysis under controlled mechanical and biochemical perturbations represents a powerful approach to understand what regulates the formation of individual CCPs.
GPCR dimerization
Chemotaxis of lymphocytes, which relies on a large number of chemokine receptors, plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. However, how and whether interactions between different chemokine receptors might regulate cell migration is unclear. We will use a novel assay based on enzyme-based proximity biotinylation to study the homo-dimerization and hetero-dimerization of CXCR4, CCR2, and CCR5. We hope this study will yield important insights into the role of receptor dimerization in signaling as well as potentially provide a platform for screening compounds that will perturb receptor functions.
Building artificial platelets
Our vision in this project is based on the belief that the critical accumulation of our knowledge about individual biomolecules will enable us to integrate them into a system in a meaningful way to create cellular devices. We have identified platelets as a tractable biological system to emulate through modular design. Our design strategy necessitates an understanding of the functionalities of natural platelets so that our artificial platelets can confer the essential functions of natural platelets. The platelets will be made as lipid vesicles that have defined lipid and protein composition using microfluidic jetting, a technique that is akin to blowing a bubble. We hopethis study will highlight how synthetic biology can potentially bring aboutnovel cellular devices that have tremendous benefits in medical settings.

The Steele County Transportation Department manages 755 lane miles of road...that is comparable to driving from Owatonna to Chicago and back!
Mission Statement
The Steele County Transportation Department provides a safe, efficient, coordinated transportation system that is responsive to community values and meets the needs of all users within resource limitations.
What does the Transportation Department do?
The Transportation Department is administered by an appointed county engineer and is broken down into administrative, engineering, and maintenance functional areas. While the functional areas provide distinct services; collaboration and coordination throughout the department, with other county departments and external agencies is standard operating procedure in service delivery.
The Transportation Department is responsible for the management of capital infrastructure with costs of $88,375,726. This infrastructure consists of highways, bridges, buildings, and highway equipment.
The Steele County transportation infrastructure consists of over 366 centerline miles of road including 129 bridges. The highway system is categorized by funding sources. County State Aid Highways (CSAH) consist of 305 miles and gas tax revenue is distributed by the State of Minnesota to assist in the construction and maintenance of these highways. County Roads (CR) consist of 64 miles and the local property tax levy is the sole source of funding for the construction and maintenance of these roads.
Five buildings make up the maintenance complex at 828 Hoffman Drive and North Street. Since the flood of 2010, the maintenance operations moved to a temporary leased facility located at 900 30th Place NW. Transportation Department offices reside at the Annex Building at 635 Florence Avenue.
Transportation Department equipment consists of 65 major units ranging from snow plow trucks, excavator, dozer, loader, backhoes, tractors, to pick-ups. Major to minor attachments make up an additional 20 pieces of equipment.

40 full-color pages capturing the 2008 season for years to come. The hardcover version includes an attractive jacket. This is a great coffee table book and makes an excellent gift. Click on the PREVIEW link under the cover photo to the left to see the first 16 pages.
My love for photography began when I was about 13 years old and got a 110mm camera as a gift. My mother encouraged my efforts and said that I had a natural eye for the craft. By the time I entered high school I had saved enough pennies to buy a fully manual Minolta 35mm camera and handheld light meter. My high school had an excellent graphics tech school with a fully equipped darkroom and print shop. My hunger for improvement had me reading everything I could find and joining a local photo club. By my senior year (1981), I had shot several portraits, two weddings and did publicity shots for a couple local bands. In addition to shooting for the yearbook and school paper, I also had photos published in the Lewiston Sun Journal. In 1981 I began my journalism studies at the University of Maine in Orono. During my years at Orono I took every photojournalism course offered, enjoyed hours in the campus darkrooms and served a semester as Photo Editor for the Daily Maine Campus newspaper.

Jeff Riggs, Dave Hoopes and David Sorace didn't pause during the Big Tap In on Saturday at the Covelli Centre.
Sorace, operations manager for Hoppin' Frog Brewery in Akron, along with Riggs and Hoopes poured samples as they described the craft beers, including a Silk Porter "made with real cream and Belgian chocolate malt and Italian roast coffee."
At times it was hard for them and other vendors to keep up. The third annual Big Tap In was a sellout, drawing more than 2,700 people downtown with 271 varieties of beer, 22 local food vendors, 17 local artists and entertainment ranging from bagpipers to belly dancers.
Sorace said events such as the Big Tap In allow breweries to meet fans and claim new ones.
"I've been in craft beer for five years, and each year it's been 10 percent growth. It's overwhelming," he said, adding: "Everybody drinks beer, but they're hooked when they taste the flavor in a small, artisan batch."
Event organizer Sandy Reda, co-owner of Vintage Estate in Boardman, said interest in craft beer is growing in the Mahoning Valley.
"What's so nice is that craft beer is still somewhat new to our area. If you go to Pittsburgh and Cleveland, it's been there a while," she said.
And the Big Tap In impressed those who traveled from those areas.
Maura Teaberry and Lauren Mikulan, both of Pittsburgh, were told by a friend about Saturday's tasting.
"It's great. I've been to things like this in Pittsburgh, and this met and exceeded my expectations," Teaberry said.
She praised the large variety of food and beer selections.
"This year we have more brewery representation than ever. That means about 95 percent brought someone from the brewery," Reda said.
The tasting was broken into two sessions: a VIP Session from 1 to 6 p.m. costing $70 per ticket and a general Session from 3 to 6 p.m. costing $45 per ticket.
David Keish of Canfield said his VIP ticket was well worth the extra money.
"You got time to sample without the big crowd. There was a lot of space to walk and talk with the vendors," he said. "Overall, it's something to get people downtown, and I love good microbrews."
The event also had a cause.
This year, the Big Tap In benefited Making Kids Count, a Mahoning Valley-based nonprofit organization that helps local children.
Making Kids Count organizes birthday celebrations for children at Beatitude House, a women's shelter in Youngstown and Warren, and quarterly birthday parties for patients at Akron Children's Hospital Mahoning Valley in Boardman.
Jana Coffin, the organization's co-president, said money raised at the Big Tap In will be used for new programs.
"We want to possibly start a summer food program because with kids out of school, they can't get those free and reduced-cost lunches. We're also looking at a pilot program to start a diaper bank," Coffin said.
What a great event! It was so good to see Youngstown hold an event that is so cutting edge. Had a great time, and will definitely go again! Hats off to the VE for bringing Ytown into the 21st century!
Wish I was in town
Hope you have more
Fun time, but venue was NOT big enough. Last years venue provided more room and the food and was much closer to the beer and easier to find. Felt like sardines navigating throughout. Wont go if its at Covelli again next year.
The caption on the photo is incorrect. We were actually pouring our Silk Porter through the coffee beans, not adding any coffee to our beer. The coffee pot we were using in place of a pitcher may have been a bit deceiving.
Don't be so picky or so Ytown
@arod......they had it at that Shepard Storage place on South Ave last year and it was WAY better. Much too crowded at the Covelli, could barely move. Definitely need to move it back to Boardman and oh, please leave the belly dancers out next time. Yech!
@gbeans01, from one woman to another, "gee thanks". Also, weren't you canceling your subscription? Or did the Vindy suddenly stop sucking enough for you to feel it worthy of your eyes again?
Why yes, I did cancel my print subscription. Didn't know someone would care so much. But yes, the entertainment left MUCH to be desired. The music band was awful and the dancers ought to have covered up because it was downright appalling to look at. From "woman to woman"......
Oh. You are one of "those", the judgemental types. Have you ever met a prude that watches porn? Does breast feeding in public also irritate you? It's VS Pink & Cosmo-style or bare nothing because that's what the media tells you to like and we aren't allowed the same comfort in our bodies that the airbrushed girls get, not in your virgin eyes anyway. Smart... and original, too! C'est la vie but please; still mind your manners - this is a public forum even if you are hiding out behind a computer screen at the moment - and don't choke on that dexatrim; we don't know CPR.
Wow. That is all.
To Jennifer....you are obviously over reaching your bounds. No one said anything about pornography or breastfeeding. You sound like a very angry and confused person. I know of you from the LG and am astonished at your behavior online. Obviously not the professional I thought you to be. A smart mouth is best kept quiet......bear that in mind.
and I believe YOU sir last lumped me in with those you termed "whores" relative to an LG event and then talked about the "good book"...? That you? See you Sunday.
hehe No, so not nearly. You have made your mark in society and your mark is not an upstanding one regardless of what I, nor anyone else, has to say. Get married (BEFORE having your next kid) get off welfare and start being an upstanding citizen....or,in the meantime, feed the egos of your chubby followers. And you shall not be seeing me on Sunday, dear. SO much ignorance......hence is the city of Youngstown.
Good to know you feel you are too good for this city as we are looking to progress and not slip back into the dark ages. You don't anything about my marriage, my economics or my life's work and you certainly are no Christian. Have a good life.
lmao I know you are a chub, no tits, NO HUSBAND, NO EDUCATION....shush your mouth and condition your fatties. You are an unbelievable ass with NO MORALS. I'm still laughing about your marriage...pieces of soo
t you are. I feel SOOO SORRY FOR YOUR SON!
And your little biz......please don't make the rest of us laugh at it........sket.
Lol.. Are you sure you have the right belly dancer?
You should be so lucky as to spend your time better - perhaps boosting people who need it, not feeling sorry for those who don't need your pity at all. Pity children who do not have warm, loving homes with progressive, intelligent, creative and strong but gentle individuals surrounding them, supporting every aspect of their growth. Feel sorry for kids whose parents don't have the luxury of helping people with their well-being, their self-esteem, who don't get the opportunity to entertain 2,700 people at one time, the majority of those enjoying and appreciating it. Feel sorry for kids whose parents don't provide enough clean diapers but spend money on crack and dope instead of nourishing food, or parents who choose not to work at all much less work helping people. Feel sorriest for those whose parents have nothing and actually do require and deserve assistance but cannot get it for whatever reason. Don't feel sorry for me and mine. I work my karma and I love my life. You probably saw me - if you really did (your comments make me wonder) - at a benefit. That's when you do something for free for the benefit of someone else. Try it. It's very Christ-like and empowering. For example, you could have spent $45 last Saturday to help "Making Kids Count" and could have not joined in on making petty complaints about the event where everyone who participated did so for the greater good. There's always next time.
(As a side note I mention the prude watching pornography and the woman ashamed of a baby at the breast to highlight the hypocrisy this media driven society has bred where a billboard of a silicon-injected, airbrushed version of a girl with an eating disorder is more acceptable and less protested than real, natural and healthy women participating in an ancient dance form.)
You seem to be lurking in the shadows ready to pounce on everything Jenniferrobyn has to say. Why are you so hateful to her? You are a very angry person that needs help. This is a forum for people to post comments and not to bad mouth people behind the security of a fake identity.
You also seem to think that you are very educated, but your spelling and grammar show otherwise. Maybe you should take your own advice, "A smart mouth is best kept quiet......bear that in mind." Please stop harassing and stalking people and improve your own inadequacies before throwing the "Good Book" at them.
Miss Jennifer knows who I am and she likes to fuel fires and then play the poor victim. Trust me when I say I have ample reason to point my anger in her direction. And to you, JenniferRobyn...I find it heartening how you stick up for your "girls". Why would you not? They pay you to make them feel like their appearance is acceptable. It's great that you're doing that for them....I pity your parents and how they think of themselves for how you turned out. It is utterly disgusting to put it mildly. Nice of your friend/you to make a new account to join in on your behalf.
I have no idea who you are ?!? though I think you should now just tell us all. I do know you sent me an awful, mean message on Facebook last winter and pretended to work for the Vindicator. Delusion? You know that commenting unprofessionally ("like a psycho" falls under "unprofessional" usually, right?) to actual articles is NOT "working for the Vindicator" no matter how much time you spend doing it. So go ahead Mr. Davey, tell us who you are. I put my name in my username. I put my web address on my ads. I'm the one in the middle at Covelli last weekend. Obviously, you know who I am. So let's have it; who are you.
There's no way he's saying who he is. We'll just have to look for him slithering somewhere close behind you like the spineless slug that he is at our next show.
Keep the drug fest in Youngstown. Boardman doesn't need anymore drunks and druggies on the roads than we already have.
Wow. This thread degenerated into something horrible. Even in celebration of something positive residents of this city can't help but show their true colors.
Blame it on the belly tossers and their sick idea that it's okay to show the world that more is beautiful.....

College Hockey:Ciampini's late goal completes No. 15 Union's rally past Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State was able to do what it wanted — burst out of the starting gate — but it still wasn't enough to beat No. 15 Union.
Daniel Ciampini's goal with three seconds remaining was the difference as the Dutchmen completed a sweep with a 5-4 victory on Sunday.
With less than 10 seconds remaining, Ciampini came up with the puck in the neutral zone and skated past two Penn State defensemen and deked past a sprawling Eamon McAdam. The puck bounced up and over McAdam's poke check attempt and stayed with Ciampini, who tapped it in.
The final three seconds of the game was the only time the Dutchmen had the lead.
"I didn't even know how much time was left," Ciampini said. "I think I just made a move to try to get to the net."
Union improved to 8-3-2 by rallying from a 4-1 second-period deficit. Penn State fell to 3-7-1.
The second game of the weekend series started 15 minutes later than the 7 p.m. scheduled time due to a fire alarm that went off approximately 40 minutes before the opening faceoff. The building was evacuated but everyone was allowed back in less than 10 minutes after the alarm sounded.
Union's penalty kill woes continued when goalie Colin Stevens left a rebound on the tape of Zach Saar's stick. The freshman's first college goal came at 3:08 of the first period.
The Nittany Lions capitalized on their second power play as well when Luke Juha scored his fourth goal of the season after a snap shot from the point sailed over Stevens' blocker.
"The penalty kill can be a comedy of errors," Union coach Rick Bennett said. "When you're not plugged in, you're not blocking shots [and] there's two strikes against you. Third strike, it's in the back of your net."
After Mike Vecchione got Union on the board with a power-play goal in the second period, the Nittany Lions got their third goal of the game when Eric Scheid redirected a shot from the point for his team-high sixth goal of the season.
Penn State made it 4-1 while short-handed. David Glen centered the puck with a blind pass but it bounced off a Union skate and changed direction. Stevens didn't see it in time, and it snuck behind him for Glen's first goal of the season.
That ended the night for Stevens (eight saves), who was replaced by Alex Sakellaropoulos (11 saves).
The goalie change worked for Union. Penn State looked like it was about to cruise through the rest of the second period but two costly penalties kept the Dutchmen within striking distance.
As a result, Shayne Gostisbehere scored two power-play goals to pull Union within one heading into the second intermission.
The first came after a five-on-three advantage expired at 12:48; the second came at 15:54 of the second period.
Once the Dutchmen got within one goal, Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said his team tightened up and got nervous in the third period despite a feeling of being one goal away from putting the game away.
"In the third [it became] a more free-flowing game and we got tight," Gadowsky said. "We stopped making plays and [started] making individual plays and they took it to us in the third period. It's not one play at the end by one individual that cost the game by any means. No way."
Gadowsky said that his team's lack of experience results in lack of maturity, but losing a game in the final seconds will make the team more mature in the long run.
Ciampini, who also scored Saturday and assisted on Max Novak's winning goal after Penn State rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie, said the Dutchmen didn't underestimate the Nittany Lions on Sunday.
"I think yesterday we fell into a trap where we didn't respect them as a team or as much as we should have," Ciampini said. "That's one hell of a hockey team over there."

Although scientists typically insist that their research is very exciting and adventurous when they talk to laymen and prospective students, the allure of this enthusiasm is too often lost in the predictable, stilted structure and language of their scientific publications. I present here, a top-10 list of recommendations for how to write consistently boring scientific publications. I then discuss why we should and how we could make these contributions more accessible and exciting.

Where in the World is Cruise Critic?
November 4, 2013 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
Cruise Critic staffers set sail every week, traveling the globe to bring you the latest cruise ship trends, port sneak peeks and onboard observations. Here's where we are this week.
(Got questions about any of the ships we're boarding? Ask us in the comments!)
Ship: Norwegian's Pride of America
Where: Hawaiian Islands, roundtrip from Honolulu
Who: Erica Silverstein, Features Editor
Why Onboard? We're updating our ship review after the addition of new cabins and dining venues, and touching up some of our Hawaii port profiles and feature articles.
We Can't Wait: Hawaii is my favorite tropical island destination because it has something for everyone: beaches, water sports and active adventures, beautiful scenery, volcanoes, a local dining scene and a unique culture. I've been on land vacations three times, but never visited on a cruise. I'm excited to investigate how you get the most out of an island visit in just one or two days, what excursions you really can do with a toddler, and the ins and outs of renting cars for just a day. Plus, I'm eager to find out how a freestyle attitude and all-American crew impact the onboard experience. Aloha!
Ship: Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas
Where:Bahamas, roundtrip from Miami including a stop in Key West
Who: Brittany Chrusciel, Editorial Assistant
Why Onboard? We're updating our ship review as well as port information for Nassau and Royal's private island, CocoCay.
We Can't Wait: This trip marks my first cruise for Cruise Critic and I couldn't be more excited! Quite a departure from experiences sailing on Europe's rivers with my grandmother and taking part in the four-month Semester at Sea program. I'm really looking forward to experiencing an ocean-going cruise on a major cruise line. I've never been to Key West, but I hear that it's fantastically eclectic; I can't wait to meet the descendants of Hemingway's cats.
Ship: Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas
Where: Nowhere, out of Miami
Who: Gina Kramer, Associate Editor
Why Onboard? We're scoping out all the new features launched during Vision of the Seas' refurb, as well as updating our ship review.
We Can't Wait: The youngest ship in the line's Vision Class welcomes new sights like redesigned cabins, an outdoor movie screen, aerial acrobatics show and five restaurants new to the ship (Italian trattoria, Giovanni's Table, the complimentary Park Cafe, Izumi Asian Cuisine, Chef's Table and the line's signature Chops Grille). I have yet to experience any of these new features, which rolled out on Grandeur of the Seas during its 2012 refurb.

Hospital Priorities
Allen-Carey Award
For health care providers seeking to expand their expertise in women's health, opportunities to receive financial support are scarce. Most awards that once were an option for specialized postgraduate education are no longer available -- even though most advancements in health care depend on professional skill development and the dissemination of new knowledge.
The Allen-Carey Education Award of Excellence in Women's Health enables clinical and research training opportunities for health care providers who seek excellence. The award is intended to foster educational opportunities where funding is currently lacking, such as for an additional year of specialized training in women's health following a fellowship program.
Congratulations to the 2015 Allen-Carey Award recipients:
- Dr. Yvonne Leong (Western University):
Master's degree in Health Professions and Education
- Dr. Anna Cameron (University of Manitoba): Master's degree in Epidemiology
"London has a long history of developing talented, motivated individuals in the field of women's health," says Dr. Hugh Allen. "There is no longer suitable support for this type of education, but it is crucial to maintaining the highest level of clinical care and research. The Allen-Carey Award addresses this gap."
As an endowment, the award provides support for one year of studies for each award recipient. Areas of study include obstetrics and gynecology, gynecologic oncology, reproductive endocrinology and women's health nursing.
The Allen-Carey Award - which is unique in Canada - has received the full support of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada.
In an effort to compensate for current rates of return, and to create a national profile for the Allen-Carey Award in order to attract promising young physicians to London, we are striving to increase the award's endowment principal from approximately $1 million to $4 million.
We invite you to join our efforts to build this worthy program by making a gift in support of the Allen-Carey Award.
This award honours Dr. Hugh Allen (left) and the late Dr. Lewis Carey (right).
Make an online donation now in support of the Allen-Carey Award!

With Season 13 of "American Idol" underway and seemingly back on track with new energy, a new judges panel (Jennifer Lopez returns after judging Season 10 and 11, new judge Harry Connick Jr. and returning Season 12 judge Keith Urban) and a new theme, the show is back to where it should be. Ratings have been solid with the show winning it's time slots for every night that its aired so far. The addition of multi-talented singer/actor Harry Connick Jr. as judge is a breath of fresh air and perhaps what the show needed all along. Classic TV Examiner caught up with the show's new executive producers, Trish Kinane and Per Blankens, after the FOX TCA panel to get some insight into the their plans for the show discuss former judge Randy Jackson's new role on the show. Check out the interview below:
What can viewers look forward to in the new season and what of Randy Jackson's role in "Idol" this year? Will the mentoring that he will be doing similar to Jimmy Iovine's role?
Trish Kinane: It will be a very different. It's Randy and it's going to be different because he comes from being a judge so he brings a totally different perspective. But also with this workshop that we are talking about, it's a different role. That role wasn't there before. It's going to be much more detailed, if Randy sees something he'll say "Let me help you with it," where as Jimmy was a commentator and that worked great but this is a very different role.
Will Randy be in the studio when they record the singles at all?
Trish Kinane: We don't know yet, probably. I don't have the answer to that, but maybe he will be because he would be their adviser.
Sweden's version of "American Idol" is the most successful one outside of the US. How will some of Swedish elements be added into the US "American Idol" show?
Per Blankens: All of us needed to bring in a new way to look at the show. I brought some ideas…like the judges handing out the Golden Ticket themselves. Back in the day, someone else gave them the Golden Ticket.
Trish Kinane: So the contestants get a little more interaction with the judges if they hand them out themselves. It creates a more intimate moment between them and the judges. It's a tiny thing we just went with.
Will Ryan Seacrest's role as host be any different this season?
Trish Kinane: We're not ready to talk about the live shows in detail yet but we are going to use him in the studio more, different places in the back, there's going to be slightly different ways in organizing the kids.
So many viewers were turned off by the judge drama. How can you insure viewers that this season is not going to be about the judges?
Per Blankens:The show is not about the judges and America is one of few markets where you have celebrities on the panel that are judges. In other countries, you have industry experts, the judges are not famous. They are not celebrities. They became famous from being on the show. Think about the beginning of the show; Randy Jackson and Simon [Cowell]. At the beginning having famous people on the panel helps because that's the only faces they recognize but that's not interesting. Especially after that, you want it to be about the kids. You want them to be the real stars.
Trish Kinane: To answer your question, I'm hoping that viewers will give it another go this year. I think it's a very well made version of "American Idol" and once they see it, hopefully word of mouth will spread that it's a good show that a family can watch, a multi-generational thing with families sitting down together to watch "Idol." We hope it's that.
Talk about how you'll keep the show still recognizable as "American Idol?"
Trish Kinane: That's exactly what we did by examining every single element. My last job before I came to "American Idol" was at Freemantle as President of World Wide Entertainment. I looked at what our producers were trying to do all around the world, doing shows from or all around the world, looking after "Idol," "The X-Factor, " "The Price is Right," "[America's] Got Talent." Keeping the essence of what makes all those formats great, what makes them work, what makes them interesting and yet try to keep them alive. This is Season 13 so it is a fine line. So Per loves and knows the "American Idol" format, he's been doing it a long time in Sweden. These guys [the judges] know and love the format and our producers do as well so there will be some freshness from our producers do as well. So I think, yes we can refresh this. Yes, but we are not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater and go to extremes. That isn't the show. This show is right and when it's done with some really great judges and some really great talent, it works. Interesting things for Season 13.
Any changes to the way the voting goes?
Trish Kinane: We're talking about some innovations to the voting. It's still America voting but nothing to announce.
What did you love about the Swedish version of Idol and how did you decide what to include in American Idol?
Trish Kinane: Some of what was done in Sweden is already included, like The Chamber. That moment, that was in Sweden. The themes – getting it back to something that reflects what the kids are and how they are growing. From starting out in an audition, in say Detroit and ending up in the Nokia Theater, they're developing like themselves and their paths. And there's more small things like…there might be a theme that's called "This Is Me."
Catch "American Idol XIII" Wednesdays and Thursdays and the live shows beginning March 27th on FOX.

Lingerie Bridal Shower (42 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I wanted to create the perfect event for my sister's bridal shower. My sister's and I decided on a lingerie shower. Our color palette was pink and black and a touch of white. We invited about 30 of our closest friends to help us celebrate the milestone.
Tablescape: The tables had a table runner of flowers. My sister and I created the floral arrangements and located them all the way down the center of the table. We had three tall centerpieces and a bunch of smaller ones. We also had votive candles wrapped in a vellum lace wrap. Each place setting had a black charger, pink satin napkin, black water goblet, and their silverware. We also placed the favors on the side of each setting. The tables were under a beautiful tent that we draped in a pink fabric. We also hung three black chandeliers from the tent. All around the party space we set up 8x10's and 5x7's of some awesome lingerie boudoir shots my sister took.
Dessert table: I made the cake and most of the desserts. The cake was a three tiered cake with ruffles and a scalloped pattern and ruffle flowers. The backdrop of the dessert table had a chandelier vinyl decal on a pink piece of lightweight wood painted pink. I also included pink gumballs, swirly pops, pink cotton candy, corset and panty shaped sugar cookies. I also had two chocolate fountains with custom colored pink chocolate. For dipping, I had rice crispy treats, marshmallows, cream puffs, pretzels, strawberries, and other goodies.
Drink Table: I set up a little bar. The bar was a steal from a yard sale for just $5 dollars. We hung 3 metal frames with the words Bombshell, Very Sexy, and Sexy Little Things. I also accessorized it with some flowers and some pink candles. We set up two drink dispensers that had the cocktails for the evening. Some cute tumblers with some cute parasols that we made outfitted the drinks perfectly. Mini water bottles with pink and black lace labels were also displayed. I also had some bottles of Orange Juice, Punch, and Sangria were also available.
Food: I cooked Lasagna and Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo. We also had garlic bread and a Cesar salad.
Favors: The favors were wrapped in a beautiful black wrapping paper with a satin bow. Inside the box were little lingerie care kits that included a lingerie wash bag and lingerie detergent. I also included some lingerie care instructions.
Gift Table: I set up a black table with a comfy chair where my sister could sit and open gifts comfortably. The chair was a great find as well. I painted it black and upholstered the cushion with some pink fabric.
Photobooth: The backdrop was made with A LOT of lace and ribbon. I also included some props like the Ikea frame, boas, chalkboards, and silly face parts.
Games/Prizes: I boxed up all the prizes in pink wrapping paper and black satin ribbon. Prizes included Victoria's Secret lotions, lip gloss and mints, Guess bracelets, Elf cosmetics, and other girly items. We also had custom made scrubs and edible chocolate body paint. For the Pictionary game I used an Ikea frame and made it into a white board. Other games included a word search, scramble game, bingo, and Jeopardy. For the writing games I had black pencils personalized with pink letters.
Invitations: The invitation really set the mood for the event. I created in PhotoShop and then sent it to a printer. It was then placed in a black box with pink and black pearls. I also wrapped the box with pink lace and black ribbon. It was very glamorous and everyone loved it.
