2016 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo & Concerts
The month of February is coming to a close and Rodeo Houston is starting the month of March off with a bang. The event is highly anticipated by rodeo goers and the staff has been working tirelessly around the clock to get set up for it. Unfortunately, just yesterday, Houston experienced some extremely high winds that resulted in some damage to the rodeo's preparations. A large tent was damaged and blown to the ground where thousand upon thousands of people attending the rodeo were supposed to line up to wait for shuttle buses. Don't miss your chance to catch all of the action live. Purchase your tickets today, starting at $2 each.

2/12/16 - Followers of the Rodeo Houston and Livestock Show are just weeks away from opening day, and as the event draws closer, more is being revealed about the entertainment that's on tap. Musical guests for the three-week run have been announced, and plenty of big names have made commitments: Chris Young, Jason Aldean, Shawn Mendes, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan and Darius Rucker are just a few of the folk and country stars lending their talents. Looking for something with a little more spice? Come out to the Rodeo on March 8th and check out Pitbull on stage, or Kid Rock on 3/15. The show's last weekend features Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, so what are you waiting for? Score your tickets today!
2/5/16 - Even though the Rodeo Houston Livestock competition is largely about good food and rugged, down-and-dirty action, there's plenty of room for all types of culture and entertainment. The Rodeo Art competition is one example, which this year honored two students from nearby Splendora Junior High for their artwork. The illustrations, which featured various types of wildlife, will be exhibited through the month of March at the Houston Livestock and Rodeo show, helping to highlight local creativity while enriching the experience for those in attendance. The Rodeo's in town at NRG Stadium and tickets are on sale for all dates beginning March 1st! Be a part of all the excitement with get-in prices starting at just $2!
1/29/16 - Fans of Rodeo Houston and the annual Livestock Show are in for a big treat, according to news announced on Jan. 26th. Tom Herman, best known as the head coach of the University of Houston's football program, is all set to take on parade marshaling duties in 2016. Herman scored a huge upset victory in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, as his Cougars defeated the favored Florida State Seminoles. As marshal of the Downtown Parade, Herman will lead dignitaries, floats, marching bands and of course, countless trail riders. The parade takes place on February 27th but tickets are available for each day of Rodeo Houston action. Order your seats today from just $2 each on opening day!
1/22/16 - Each year, many of the world's foremost BBQ experts converge on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo to compete for the right to claim the crown. The 2016 World Championship BBQ Contest has been announced and will take place in the days preceding the formal introduction of this year's rodeo. Over 250 teams will combine to produce more than 400 entries, as each seeks the title of Best Overall Barbeque. For fans, there's probably no better way to start getting excited for all the roping rodeo action, which officially gets underway on March 1st. Get your Rodeo Houston tickets, starting at just $5 for opening day! NRG Stadium will feature live music with different performers daily—reserve your spot today!
2015 Season
3/13/15 - Regardless if you are a cowboy and animal fan or not, the Rodeo Houston is an event you will not want to miss. Filled with all sorts of entertainment for the whole family to enjoy, the Rodeo Houston is sure to meet or exceed all of your expectations. The rodeo always has a special guest to entertain and on March 16, 2015 the beloved Dierks Bentley will be there to blast out his incredible vocals and lyrics for all to hear. Tickets for that event start at $15 a piece and go up to $291 the closer you get to all of the action. While you are there check out the carnival, delicious home cooked food, shopping and the children's activity center. You won't leave disappointed.
3/4/15 - If you enjoy the rodeo, one of the biggest events to look forward to is Rodeo Houston. A lot of the proceeds from this event go towards charities and organizations, so it's a great cause full of exciting things to do. This year, a lot of great bull riders will be looking to shine. Some of them include Nate Baldwin, Trevor Brazile, Blair Burk, Clint Cooper, Tuf Cooper and Tyson Durfey. There are a lot of activities other than bull riding, such as the Fan Zone. This area gives fans the chance to meet the superstars of rodeo today. Fans can engage with the riders, and even get a signed autograph. There are a lot of awards handed out throughout the event, and one of the most exciting is the High Flyin' Award. This achievement is given to the rider who has the highest flight or hardest spill on the night. Tickets can be purchased now for $5.
2/25/15 - Rodeo Houston is just a week away, and the city and visitors alike are preparing for the two-week long event. Starting February 21, the 13th annual horse trail rides begin with riders from 11 different towns in the state, as well as a single town in Louisiana and Mexico. Riders will ride the trails on their way to Houston for the rodeo. Most historic is the Salt Grass ride, which began in 1952 with four riders, but this year has 1,400 riders. The 3,000 riders from the 13 different trails will come into town on Friday, February 27th to participate in the big parade. Tickets remain available for the concerts, with Eric Church on opening night (starting at $5) and ending with Luke Bryan on March 22 (starting at $34).
2/18/15 - Rodeo Houston is two weeks of entertainment for the whole family, with music from a variety of top performers and the traditional rodeo events, including a livestock show and professional bull riding. It is the world's largest rodeo, with numerous events every day that are capped with a spectacular concert by leading musicians, such as Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw, and Ariana Grande. Texas is known for its barbeque, so it makes sense that the World's Championship Bar-B-Que also takes place at Rodeo Houston. This contest first began in 1974 with just a few contestants, but 2015 is set to have more than 250 teams competing to win in what is one of the largest and most prestigious BBQ competitions in the country. Tickets to Rodeo Houston remain available, including for the nightly concerts.
1/15/15 - Not that the official entertainment lineup has been announced for Rodeo Houston, you can make plans to come to the livestock show and rodeo that features some of the biggest names in music. Eric Church opens the show on March 3. He's followed with performances by Hunter Hayes, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, and many more. It's not just country music, but Fall Out Boy, Pitbull, and La Arrolladora Banda El Limon. For over two weeks, you'll be able to see these great performers and watch top rodeo cowboys and cowgirls. You'll find good old-fashioned BBQ, trail rides, and activities for the kids. Get in on all the fun at NRG Stadium. Come to Razorgator and get your tickets to these fantastic concerts before they're gone.
2014 Season
3/12/14 – Of the Rodeo Houston musical acts remaining, Maroon 5 has the most expensive ticket (avg. $112) for Thursday's show. The pop rock band won't be the only non-country act to hit the stage at Reliant Stadium - Usher, Selena Gomez, REO Speedwagon, and Robin Thicke (avg. $64)are among the diverse lineup in 2014. Closing act, Zac Brown Band, has the most in-demand ticket (avg. $99) among Country artists followed by Luke Bryan (avg. $89) and The Band Perry (avg. $88).
1/17/14 - Rodeo Houston 2014 has announced its star-studded,
show-stopping line-up
! Each night brings a different flavor to the Rodeo and covers numerous genres from country to pop and R&B. Country will generally reign supreme, heralding most of the 21 days: with
Brad Paisley
(3/4), Eli Young Band (3/5) and Reba McEntire (3/6),
Jason Aldean
(3/11), Jake Owen (3/12), Hunter Hayes (3/15),
Luke Bryan
Florida Georgia Line
(3/19), Blake Shelton (3/20),
Easton Corbin
The Band Perry
(3/22) and
Zac Brown Band
(3/23) for an awesome closing night to this incredible three week celebration. Guests of the Rodeo will have a chance to dance to Usher (3/7),
Selena Gomez
(3/9) and
Robin Thicke
(3/18), rock out to
REO Speedwagon
(3/10) and Maroon 5 (3/13), and salsa with Pesado and Banda MS (3/16). With prices as low as $20 and amazing musical acts accompanying the best wranglers, getting Rodeo Houston tickets is a no-brainer!
2013 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo & Concerts
2/8/13 - Although Rodeo Houston has a rich history in the world of livestock exhibitions, many flock to
Reliant Stadium
to see their favorite artists take center stage at night, following the Rodeo events. Houston Rodeo attracts more than 2 million people and folks have come to expect great musical performances from all genres. In 2013, musical performances kick off February 25 with
Toby Keith
and finish in front of a sold out crowd March 17 with
George Strait
. George Strait's Rodeo Houston Show sold 77,000 tickets in two minutes. Houston Rodeo tickets under $35 are currently available for all artists except George Strait.
It's been said that the diverse 2013 Rodeo Houston lineup is the strongest in the rodeo's history and includes Mary J. Blige, Pitbull and X Factor judge Demi Lovato, as well as numerous Country Music artists, like
Tim McGraw
Kenny Chesney
Jason Aldean
. Eleven of the twenty-one artists performing at the Rodeo are either currently on tour or will be touring later in 2013. Seeing an artist at Rodeo Houston is usually much cheaper than seeing them headline a concert; in some cases, Rodeo Houston tickets are half the cost of a concert ticket. As for the remaining artists not on tour this year, it's probably the only chance fans will get a chance to see the artist live.

Would any person living in the area (I'm in Canada) be able to tell me if there is still a house at 32 Threfall Street (Toxteth area) and if so, possibly take a picture? My ancestors were living there in the mid 1920s.
Many thanks

Here's the original Latin text to Augustine's confessions. Remember to mind your accusatives and ablatives.
Here's the Edward Bouverie Pusey translation from 1838 that T.S. Eliot references in "The Wasteland." It's also great if you like the word "Thou."

A TV miniseries that takes place after the Confessions (though it talks about the Confessions), when Augustine is Bishop of Hippo and the Vandals are besieging the city.
Articles and Interviews
Here's an awesome bibliography of scholarly resources related to Augustine, compiled by J. O'Donnell. What more could a student want?
J. O'Donnell talks about what it means to study the Confessions in the 21st century.
The Global Catholic Television Network did a series on Early Church Fathers, and this one gives a pretty good overview of Augustine's life.

THE SUCCESS OF THE banking industry bailouts are sure to reverberate in Charlotte, N.C., which after years of rapid growth fueled in large part by financial giants like Wachovia and Bank of America, has been shaken and slowed by the economic meltdown. But that news, observers said, may not be all bad for food retailers, as belt-tightening sparks more shopping and entertaining at home, and other government stimulus plans — such as additional allocations for food-stamp users — provide a ...

This Q & A between me and Matt Gross, aka the NYT's Frugal Traveler, covers some of the joys of seeing the world on the cheap: street food, public buses, the hassles and serendipities that ultimately make a trip memorable. If there'd been more space, I would've liked to have included one of my experiences where it paid to spend the big dollars: seeing the mountain gorillas of Rwanda in 2007. The permit cost $500 alone — and it was worth every penny. Still, I love the challenge of visiting new countries with a small, fixed budget and then letting the adventures unfold.

Are cheapskates born or made?
We all want to understand ourselves a little better, preferably without spending a fortune in therapy. So I'm not surprised to find that my chapter on "Cheapskate Psychology" has elicited the most response from readers. In it, I delve into Freud's theory that cheapness springs from unresolved potty-training issues, along with some of the latest behavioral economics research on "tightwads vs. spendthrifts." Turns out that the future feels closer for cheap people — we sense challenges or outright crises around every corner, and so we're compelled to save money just in case.
Adam Sternbergh, a reporter at New York Magazine, used my book and my family's example as a jumping-off point to investigate whether cheapskates are born or made…. and he comes to the conclusion that frugality might be a character trait similar to shyness, in the sense that it's something we're born with. You can shift your habits/psyches a few degrees through conscious effort, he says, but basically, if you're cheap, you're cheap, and you're always gonna be that way.
PS: The article is illustrated with a family photo from my brother's bar mitzvah, circa 1982. Note the giant specs, the wall hanging in back, and my dad's Gabe Kaplan Jewfro. The racy picture of the naked lady was painted by my grandfather.
ICWT on NPR's "Morning Edition"
I talked to Steve Inskeep about the history of cheapness and frugality in America, in an interview that aired Sept. 8. Want to know what pop-culture tidbit drew a guffaw from him? Listen in below, or visit the NPR website for the text and audio version.
Interview with Leonard Lopate
Since leaving the 9-to-5 world, I can often be found from noon to 2 PM in my tiny kitchen, defrosting some lentil soup for lunch and listening to the Leonard Lopate Show on my favorite radio station, WNYC. On Tuesday, Sept. 8, I was honored to be a guest on the show. You can catch the interview here (and read the slightly nasty comments, some of which imply that I'm mentally ill… or maybe they say that about my father).

Alexis on the Sexes: Bros before...
Updated 12/6/2012
Should a sibling's ex be off-limits?
Alexis is on vacation, but here's a classic column from the archives.
Q: My brother was in a relationship with a beautiful girl for nine years. They broke up almost four years ago, and not on the best terms. I always thought she was attractive. After seeing her in different social circles, I approached her, and now we are about to get romantically involved. My brother recently was made aware of this and became extraordinarily angry, even though he is now married to a different woman. He's gotten my family involved and created a rift between us. Family gatherings have been awkward and not altogether peaceful. Should I feel guilty? Or is he just being selfish? I really enjoy this girl's company and have no plans to drop pursuit of a relationship with her.
A: Wait, what? Your brother has gotten the rest of your family involved in this business and he's married? What the hell does his wife do when he pitches these fits about you dating his ex-girlfriend? Stare at her lap, mortified, until the topic passes? How lucky she is to be married to such a gentleman.
It's fair for your brother to have unsettled feelings about you dating his ex, but to throw a proverbial tantrum and get the rest of your family involved is completely unreasonable. How would you describe your relationship with your brother? If you have a lifelong history of competing with each other, this might just be another way for him to keep the fight going. It's normal to maintain a healthy sibling rivalry into adulthood, but this particular topic requires a grown-up conversation between the two of you and no one else.
If you're totally bent on pursuing a relationship with this girl because you think she could be your soulmate, then he needs to know that. He found the woman of his dreams and you're entitled to the same happiness. He'd have to be a real dick to attempt to stand in the way of that. Same goes for your parents and any other relative. If she's "the one," and you've communicated that to your brother, then he needs to suck it up and go home to his wife.
On the other hand, if any part of you doubts your actual motives for getting involved with your brother's ex, then put this thing on pause. He's telling you that you can't do something, so maybe you want to do it that much more. I say full speed ahead if you think about this girl all day, every day -- but if a Chipotle burrito crosses your mind more often than she does, going after her isn't worth the indefinite silent treatment from your bro. There are other future scenarios you need to consider, too. Like if you think Thanksgiving with the family is awkward, imagine what Christmas will be like when you bring this girl home. God forbid you come from one of those "Pass the turkey, no idiot, the Wild Turkey" families whose holiday gatherings put Festivus to shame. (Although this girl was part of your clan for nine years already, so she's obviously a veteran.)
Blood is indeed thicker than water, but there are exceptions to every rule. Your M.O. from here is to determine just how much you like this woman. At first blush, your question doesn't exactly drip with passion -- you "always thought she was attractive," you "really enjoy this girl's company" -- so bust out your own crystal ball and see if she's the beginning of the rest of your life. If not, skip the drama and keep her in the friend zone. But if you really do love her, your family will accept her (I promise) and your jerky brother will be forced to grow up and deal with it.

UMass Dartmouth kicked of a major library renovation campaign tonight, announcing nearly $3 million in private gifts and the naming of the library in honor of alumna, former trustee, and staunch advocate Claire T. Carney at the first annual "Blue & Gold Gala."
The gala, held in the library, attracted more than 500 members of the region's corporate and civic community. The campaign, the first major capital campaign in UMass Dartmouth history, is designed to raise $6 million in private funds to be matched by $4 million in university funds to renovate the 250,000 square foot facility that opened 35 years ago.
"What brings us together tonight is the beginning of a new dream to transform this library into a powerful engine of educational opportunity" Chancellor Jean F. MacCormack said. "Tonight is about ideas that have already been shared and those yet to be formed. With your help we embark on a $10 million project that will foster a community of scholars, encourage innovative teaching and learning, support research that matters to our region and Commonwealth, and sustain important cultural archives that celebrate our collective history and culture."
Chancellor MacCormack described Claire Carney as "an extraordinary role model for us all, a strong supporter of this university, and an inspirational advocate of public higher education. As a student, alumna, mother, and former campus trustee, Claire T. Carney is an enduring example of the power of education to transform the lives of individuals and families."
Among those playing a leadership role in the effort are Fall River businessman and former UMass Board chairman Robert Karam and former state Senator William Q. MacLean, who recently agreed to co-chair the UMass Dartmouth Foundation Development Committee.
"UMass Dartmouth is the engine that drives the economic and social development of our region," MacLean and Karam said in a joint statement. "We have joined this cause because we believe it is imperative that the community join with the Commonwealth in supporting the university's growth agenda."
Major gifts include: an anonymous leadership pledge of $2 million; additional anonymous gifts of $100,000 and $30,000; $100,000 from William and Mary Jane MacLean and the MacLean Charitable Foundation; $75,000 from Dr. Mel Yoken and his wife Cindy, and $75,000 from Frank Sousa Jr.
Ron Xavier, President of Silver City Aluminum Corp. in Taunton, led the committee that organized the gala. "As an alumnus, the seeds of my personal and professional success were sown at UMass Dartmouth," Xavier said. "It is now critical to the future of all southeastern Massachusetts, from Taunton to the SouthCoast, that we re-invest in the university so it can continue to create educational opportunity and spin off new ideas that strengthen the economic and civic life of our communities. I want to thank Chancellor MacCormack, her staff and the many volunteers who contributed their ideas and energy to the first-ever Blue and Gold Gala."
Gala sponsors include: Sodexho, Cardoza's Wine and Spirits, The Chickering Group, Coca Cola, Colonial Wholesale Beverages, Comcast, Global Glass, Global Partners, Ikon Office Solutions, The Jarabek Foundation, L&E Party Rentals, Macx Incorporated, New Bedford Floor Covering, Reynolds Dewalt Printing, Dr. Richard Ward, and Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Xavier.
Opened in 1972, the library at UMass Dartmouth is one of the largest academic libraries south of Boston, serving more than 300,000 students, faculty and regional residents. It holds more than 460,000 volumes spanning a diversity of subjects that reflect what is taught at the university and the interests of the local community.
The major renovations include:
A new front lobby
A 5,000 square foot expansion to the north will be accomplished by glassing in an area between the library and the Group II lecture halls. This will provide a compelling entrance and new areas for students and faculty to gather and exchange ideas.
Fostering a Community of Scholars
The Library will be a place that fosters community. Expansion and renovation of the first floor will create larger and better space for public presentations and lectures, along with a cafe and meeting places. The library will draw in students, faculty, staff and visitors in an engaging way.
Innovative Teaching and Learning
The Library will better meet the needs of active "net generation" learners through newly-created spaces designed for collaborative study, including a learning commons where group work, mentoring and consultation will be the norm. The library will also offer improved spaces for quiet, individual study.
Supporting Research and Scholarship
The Library will continue to support research and scholarship through its collections and research services. Current space will be redesigned and renovated to house the growing collection of books and journals. Well-designed, complementary physical and virtual services and access points will meet the needs of the campus and region.
An Important and State-of-the-Art Archive
Enlarged and properly designed spaces will meet the access and preservation needs of the library's expanding general collection and collections of regional and national interest. A new space will be built to serve as a permanent home for the Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives, giving visitors and scholars a place to observe, learn, research, study, and interact.
An Inspirational Space
The architecture, purposeful spaces, furnishings, lighting, information technology and general ambience of the Library will combine to produce an experience of intellectual richness, higher purpose, and inspiration. The Library will integrate the surrounding campus, invite community, and provide a stimulating environment for discourse and discovery. It will be a compelling centerpiece to a vibrant university, symbolizing its nature and aspirations.

A Must Read - Share
In a role-reversal turnaround less than 12 hours from Hoda Kotb's appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen was now in the guest seat on her show, answering questions about the Presidential inauguration and all of the celeb-inspired moments to come from it on Today. With his slick new glasses, Andy was clearly studious of yesterday's happenings, and he particularly loved how Beyonce played the part of queen B while also belting out the National Anthem. It also puzzled Andy a bit that Michelle Obama's new bangs were considered a major transformation, but Hoda and guest host Meredith

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Vitamin E in Food May Fight Cancer
Dec. 15, 2004 -- Researchers have found that vitamin E may fight prostate and lung cancer.
The term vitamin E describes a family of eight antioxidants. Researchers say that one form in particular appears to fight prostate cancer without harming normal cells. But it's not the kind of vitamin E used in most supplements. Instead, it's the most common form found in the American diet. It occurs naturally in foods such as sesame seeds, walnuts, pecans, and corn and sesame oils.
The form of vitamin E is called gamma-tocopherol.
Most supplements provide a different form of the vitamin, alpha-tocopherol, which has attracted attention for more than 25 years. Some studies have shown that it has anticancer abilities. Other studies have shown that the anticancer properties of increased levels of alpha-tocopherol are found only when gamma-tocopherol levels are also high.
Recently a team of scientists tested gamma-tocopherol to see if it had any cancer-fighting potential. The researchers included Qing Jiang, formerly of Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, Calif. The report is published online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which will also include the study in its Dec. 21 print edition.
The researchers had nothing against alpha-tocopherol. "Alpha-tocopherol has justifiably earned a good reputation as an antioxidant," says Jiang, in a news release. Instead, she wanted to see if other forms of vitamin E were promising.
Jiang, now an assistant professor of foods and nutrition at Purdue University in Indiana, has studied gamma-tocopherol before. In 2000, she and her colleagues found that it inhibits inflammation, which has been linked to cancer.
This time, Jiang's team pitted gamma-tocopherol against human prostate and lung cancer cells. For comparison, they also exposed healthy human prostate cells to alpha-tocopherol.
Gamma-tocopherol aced its lab tests. It inhibited the spread of prostate and lung cancer cells without hurting the healthy cells. That indicates that gamma-tocopherol might be able to combat cancer without damaging unaffected cells.
Here's how it worked. Apparently, gamma-tocopherol interfered with the cell membranes of the cancer cells. The effect was fatal -- killing off the cancer cells.

More on 40 Years

Alliance's "Lady of the Lake" Looks Back on 40 Years
In 1970 Lee Botts founded the Lake Michigan Federation -- the Alliance's predecessor -- in response to growing public concern about Great Lakes pollution.
Botts believed a single organization should represent the lake's interests, and that the Federation's mission was to provide information and energize other citizens' groups in the four states bordering Lake Michigan.
During her tenure, the Federation pushed to ban phosphates in detergents; pressed for passage of the federal Clean Water Act; and led regional efforts calling attention to the health hazards of polychlorinated biphenyls that resulted in a ban on PCBs.
Dubbed the "Lady of the Lake," Botts is a recipient of the Great Lakes Commission's Lifetime Achievement Award and remains active on Great Lakes issues, co-authoring a scholarly book on the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement in 2005 and serving as an emeritus member of the Alliance's board of directors.
Below Botts reflects on the Alliance 40 years later:
What is your greatest satisfaction about the Alliance?
Botts: The organization's survival and growth as the lead not-for-profit advocate for the Great Lakes in the United States is beyond what I could have comprehended in proposing its organization 40 years ago.
Talk about your greatest disappointment.
Botts: The failure to persuade the board of directors that the Lake Michigan Federation should become binational, recognizing that Lake Michigan is part of a single connected system that requires watershed-wide action, including a binational approach in partnership with Canada.
Today's lack of unified citizen action with Canadians limits the influence of citizens and concern of governments for the Great Lakes today.
What is the biggest challenge facing the Great Lakes today?
Botts: The earlier mobilization to improve water quality problems relating to toxic chemicals and excessive algae growth in the Great Lakes were the first major environmental successes across an international border and occurred through interactions between government agencies, scientists and citizens in processes fostered by the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement and its parent Boundary Waters Treaty with Canada.
My hope is for the Boundary Waters Treaty and Great Lakes Agreement to be used to mobilize a binational response to climate change. Citizen action is needed now to prod a response -- not just from governments, but from all society -- to climate change.

Novotel Madrid Sanchinarro - hotel reviews in Madrid

Accorhotels.com customer reviews in partnership with TripAdvisor
"Is this a Novotel ?"
10th August 2013, AlicanteJacko, Alicante
Hotel location easy to find and despite the sign saying free parking it costs 11€. The "superior" room we booked was the same as all the other rooms, very cramped and not superior by the usual Novotel standards. The restaurant food was dreadful and very disappointing, we left most of the food and the waiter just shrugged his shoulders at the returned food. The normal grovelling apologies from the manager but you buy cheap produce you get cheap results. 4 Novotels in Madrid and this one should be the last on your list.....
"Novotel Madrid Review"
9th July 2013, Newcastle
The Novotel Sanchinarri Madrid is all that you would expect with a 4 star hotel. It is located close to bus stop which provides an efficient service to the Metro. We used the resturant and bar and found both a pleasant experience.
"nice hotel. Horrible location and swimmingpool"
1st June 2012, Tourist8641, Tallinn, Estonia
Liked the hotel. Difficult to get to city. Very strange that on a day with warmer than 30 degrees the swimmingpool is not open before June. And this is not informed anywhere as all hotel material says that there is a swimmingpool
"Good, but hard to find...."
20th May 2011, Warwick
Hotel and facilities excellent and we enjoyed our stay. The location is near the airport. But if you are travelling in from the south as we were, we found the motorway links quite difficult and the entrance raod to the hotel hard to locate. once there, it was fine!!!
16th December 2010, mataro
excellent option if you have your own car, if not, it takes a bit far from public transport.

"But wait, there's more" Dep't
Posted 6 years ago by jackl - 3 comments Link: http://phi.sh/b/4d5d57c4
Following closely on the heels of yesterday's announcement of the Phish soundcheck vinyl to be released on Record Store Day, Saturday, April 16, Mike announced today that he will also be rereleasing Inside In and Moss Remixes as Limited Edition Vinyl albums that will be available exclusively at participating independently owned record stores across the country.
Nearly eight years after Mike's debut solo release, Inside In, Mike is "unleashing" the album on vinyl for the first time as a deluxe double-LP set. For Record Store Day, Inside In has been pressed on 180g orange vinyl and includes "Minkinetics", "Trinners March" and "Be Your Tape", three previously unreleased outtake tracks from the album (available only on vinyl). Musicians on the album include Jon Fishman, Bela Fleck, Col. Bruce Hampton, Buddy Cage, Vassar Clements and others.
In addition, Moss Remixes, a Limited Edition 7-inch featuring two remixes from Mike's latest solo album Moss (released in October 2010) will be available at participating record stores. The release is limited to 1,000 copies. The idea was not to "remix" the songs, but instead, work with the moments that had lead to the germination of the songs. The A and B sides include full remixes of "Horizon Line" and "Fire From A Stick" (which incorporate bits of original demos, bass and drum jams, and many added extra textures).

Please see the list below for several of the common reasons for not being able to log in.
Windows XP and Vista can not be logged on as the Administrator account except in Safe Mode. You will have at least one account that will have administrator rights under the normal login. If you are not sure which one it is, run the CD and reset each user. Then try to log in as again. You can also log in under Safe Mode by hitting F8 as you boot up Windows and log in as Administrator.
Run the CD twice. Occasionally, the CD needs to be run a second time to reset the password.
Windows XP Pro and 2000. If your computer is on a domain, you will have a field below the password field. Make sure this field is set to the choice that has this computer next to it.
The Local Policy of This System Does Not Permit You to Log on Interactively. This is most common with HP/Compaq laptops and is not actually a password error. The fact that you are getting the error means the password has been reset. Try typing 123 as the password and you will see that you get a different message. This is a rare problem but we do have a solution for it. Please contact us for further info regarding this situation.

I am using windows XP, my laptop was purchased in 2002, I am the only owner of it. I am getting the same error as before installing your software. I reset Administrator AND Owner. I logged in under safe mode and tried Administrator and it still will not let me in.
It is the windows screen with my name, an icon and a window to type the password. The strange thing is I used my computer Monday, went to work Tuesday, came home to check my email and the password was there. I live alone and there was nobody at my house all day. I have NO IDEA how the password got installed but now I am unable to get into it. HELP?

It sounds as if you may have gotten some kind of virus or something that caused your password problem to begin with. Normally, it's a simple process that takes a few minutes.

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - Chuck Powers is getting some first-hand experience in how people feel about government and taxes these days. So far, it isn't good.
Powers is leading a local residents' group supporting a proposed property tax increase for the Avon-based Eagle River Fire Protection District. Like every other government, district and agency in the valley that depends on property taxes, the fire district's 2012 budget is facing a cut of more than 20 percent, thanks to a drop in the value of county properties.
Fire district officials say the drop will cut $1.7 million out of the current $6.9 million budget. That's going to affect service, they say. That's going to include fewer firefighters, longer response times to fire scenes and, perhaps, higher rates for residential fire insurance.
The Eagle County School District also is claiming it will have to make deep cuts without more money. The district's school board is set to vote this week whether or not to ask voters for a property tax increase to raise about $6.5 million per year.
School district officials say they've already cut more than $9 million and 100 jobs in the past two years. More cuts are coming without the tax increase, they say.
In Avon, town officials are looking for a way to fund bus service other than the town's general fund and are looking at a combination of lodging and sales tax increases to maintain and expand the service.
Eagle is ready to ask voters to double the town's lodging tax, and Vail has to ask voters to approve a plan to spend more than $9 million first approved for a conference center.
Whether voters go along with any of these ideas is another matter.
Powers said he's so far been greeted with skepticism, at best. If he can make his pitch to someone, he might get "I'll think about it" as a response.
"But a lot of people don't even want to discuss it," Powers said.
A phone survey conducted by the school district showed just 40 percent of respondents favored a tax increase. Paul Hanley, of Hill Research Associates, which did the survey, told school board members earlier this year that early surveys need to be at 58 percent or more in favor for a ballot issue to have a good chance of success.
Statewide, Gov. John Hickenlooper has said more than once that there's "no appetite" for new taxes right now, and a Denver Post story about state Sen. Rollie Heath Heath's press conference to announce his ballot initiative reported the conspicuous absence of other lawmakers that day.
But Ed O'Brien, president of the fire district's board of directors, said none of that matters because the numbers are the numbers.
Noting that the district has been eyeing the 2012 budget for the past couple of years, O'Brien said "I don't think we have a choice" but to ask voters for help.
Avon Mayor Rich Carroll said he plans to evaluate all of the ballot questions he sees on their merits and will vote accordingly, adding that he hopes other voters will do the same.
"I don't think there's ever a good time to ask for a sales tax increase," Carroll said.
School Board Vice President Jeanne McQueeney also hopes that voters will evaluate the merits of the various ballot issues they see. Along with the state initiative, the school district's question will be the only one virtually all Vail Valley voters will decide this fall.
"We can't control what everybody else is going to do," McQueeney said. But with all of the questions on the ballot, the school board is seeking to keep its ballot language as simple as possible.
Given the times, it looks like even the best intentions of local districts will be met with furrowed brows from voters.
Buddy Shipley, a frequent letter writer to the Vail Daily, wrote in an email that he believes voters may tune out and vote no when faced with a multitude of tax questions.
"I was just talking with a friend last night whose wife is very liberal (his description)," Shipley wrote. "He said that she was appalled by all the tax increases being proposed, especially in such a weak economy."
Speaking for himself, Shipley added, "All of our governments should be subject to the same economic pressures as all of us mere working stiffs. Why should our myriad governments and all their various redundant and failing agencies, departments and programs be exempt from the harsh economic reality that we must confront every day?"

By PHIL NOBILE
More than four years after a local West Harrison quarry was deemed to be operating illegally, little to no progress in the legal proceedings has caused the quarry's neighbors to speak out to town officials about continued quality of life concerns.
At the March 6 Town Council meeting, West Harrison residents Glenn and Vanessa Daher addressed the council about the litigation process at the Lake Street Granite Quarry, which was found to be operating illegally and without a permit in January 2010. The residents argue that, despite the quarry's excavation belts being shut down with a 2009 stop work order, quality of life problems continue as the property still accepts landfill and operates generally.
"We're not going away," Vanessa Daher, who has lived in her Old Lake Street home with her husband since the late 1990s, said. "Although it has been in appeals for more than four years, we wanted to tell the Town Council we haven't forgotten about this."
According to Daher and other residents surrounding the quarry, excavation belts to break down rock and glass would disrupt quality of life daily, including multiple nighttime incidents in which the quarry operated as late as 3 a.m.
In October 2009, after extensive complaints from nearby neighbors, the town issued a stop work order on the quarry after it was found that quarry president Lawrence Barrego never had a permit in accordance with Chapter 133 of the town code, which deals with excavating and the required permits in order to do so. Town Judge Albert Lorenzo said the company was not allowed to excavate on their property further.
Barrego argued the company was grandfathered in before the town code was adopted in 1923; Lake Street Granite began operation in 1922.
But the Town Council found Barrego's business was subject to the town code after a lack of sufficient evidence was provided to prove the business existed before the town code was implemented, leading to the original stop work order. Barrego appealed the town's decision, and the lawsuit sits in state appellate court.
The stop work order, however, only concerned the excavation belts at Barrego's quarry. He is still allowed to operate the rest of the quarry's functions—as a site for designated dumping of construction materials and waste— which is causing neighbors to continue expressing their desire to have the business shut down for good.
Sam Fanelli, another West Harrison resident who has lived near the quarry since 1989, was one of the original town residents who asked for the quarry to be shut down.
"[Barrego] claims he has the right and is exempt from all of these old town laws, and he's not. It was ruled he must abide by the town," Fanelli said. "He thinks he can do what he wants."
While Fanelli expressed frustration toward Barrego and the process as a whole, he said he believed that the town's "hands are tied," and added that the legal process was simply running its course.
"The town has done what they can to protect us, and they can't make another step forward right now," Fanelli said. "I understand the court systems and that it may take years to settle all of this."
Multiple calls to Town Attorney Frank Allegretti were not returned as of press time. Councilman Stephen Malfitano, a Republican, declined comment on an active matter in litigation.

Gold at Record Prices, Yet Demand Has Slumped
Global demand for gold, that darling of the investor world, slumped 17% last quarter.
Yes, despite all the hype around the glittery, golden metal, the total tonnage purchased around the world slid to 919.8 metric tons, from 1,107.0 tons for the same period a year earlier.
And—maybe surprisingly—it's not all down to the sky high prices.
There was one key factor that drove down the tonnage of gold bought when compared with the same months of last year – ETPs, or exchange-traded products.
Demand for ETPs was down a massive 82% when compared with second quarter 2010 levels. Part of this was down to heavy liquidation across these sorts of financial products earlier in the year as investors cashed in on the metal's record-breaking run—with gold having rallied more than 10% on the start of the year to several all-time bests by the start of May.
But largely it was an inability for these funds to match the kind of levels of investment recorded in the second quarter of 2010, when the second highest quarterly inflows on record were posted.
ETP demand was a huge 291.6 tons in that quarter of last year as fears over the growing euro zone debt crisis sparked a flurry of fresh investment in the yellow metal, pushing it to what were fresh record highs at the time.
Last quarter demand was just 51.7 tons. While much, much lower, this was still very sizeable, though, when compared with the 22.3 tons of purchases in 4Q 2010 and the 62.1 tons of sales in 1Q of this year.
"Ultimately the fall [in total global demand] was a function of ETP tonnages, which were quite volatile last quarter," said WGC managing director of investment Marcus Grubb.
Outside of ETPs, other sectors of demand are looking very healthy indeed says the World Gold Council—despite the near-record high prices.
"Overall, the quarter wasn't a bad one," Mr. Grubb said.
Second-quarter jewelry demand was up 6%, technology demand rose 2%, and bar and coin demand increased by 9%.
Central bank gold buying quadrupled as officials in emerging markets scrambled to diversify their reserve holdings.
All quite reasonable figures given the metal's price broke $1,500 an ounce in the quarter, just a year after trading closer to $1,100 an ounce.
As long as those sectors hold up, there could be some quite strong figures posted in the second half of the year, with "the trajectory of ETF demand" so far this quarter looking very promising, Mr. Grubb says.
In the world's largest gold-backed fund, SPDR Gold Trust, holdings are now at 1,272 tons, up from just 1,208 tons at the end of June.
"So far in 3Q we have seen the second great European credit crisis, and the U.S. credit downgrade, so we will expect to see some strong demand when the next figures come out," he says.

For individuals and small businesses, RIM offers BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express, which is a free service that provides corporate e-mail access and other advanced BlackBerry features. You can also access up to 10 personal/business POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail accounts via BlackBerry Internet service. For quicker communication, there are a handful of instant messaging clients preloaded on the device, including Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk, and, of course, the popular BlackBerry Messenger.
For the social butterfly, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter are all included on the device, and the new Social Feeds feature in BlackBerry OS 6 allows you to get all your updates in one place. There's also an RSS feed aggregator, where you can view stories from your feeds, as well as add and manage your RSS subscriptions.
As we noted earlier, BlackBerry OS 6 brings enhanced multimedia features, including a more attractive media player with a Cover Flow-like interface. You get basic functions, such as shuffle and repeat modes and on-the-fly playlist creation, as well as some headset EQ settings and the ability to turn a song into a ringtone. The player supports MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, MIDI, and AMR-NB music files, and WMV, H.263, and MPEG4 video codecs. The Bold offers 512MB of flash memory (double that of the Bold 9700) but comes with a 2GB microSD card preinstalled; the expansion slot can accept up to 32GB cards.
One area where the Bold 9780 gets a bit of an upgrade is the camera. The smartphone features a 5-megapixel camera (the Bold 9700 had a 3.2-megapixel camera) with flash. There is no option to adjust the white balance or brightness, but you can select from 11 different scene modes that cover everything from close-ups to snow landscapes. Despite having autofocus, picture quality was slightly blurry and indoor shots looked a bit dim. Outdoor shots were more vibrant, but even so, we wouldn't say the camera is a reason to upgrade.
We tested the quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) BlackBerry Bold 9780 in New York using T-Mobile service and call quality was good. On our side, the audio was mostly clear. There was a bit of voice distortion on a couple of occasions, but overall, the audio was clear and there was little to no background noise to interrupt the flow of conversations. Friends were mostly happy with call quality, though a couple did note that the audio sounded a bit hollow.
BlackBerry Bold 9780 call quality sample
Listen now:
Speakerphone quality was also hollow-sounding, but still clear. At the highest level, there was just enough volume to have a conversation in a room full of people. We successfully paired the smartphone with the Logitech Mobile Traveller Bluetooth headset and the Motorola S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones.
We got pretty reliable 3G coverage throughout Manhattan, though we did dip into EDGE a couple of times in the Midtown area. CNET's full site loaded in 25 seconds, and the mobile sites for CNN and ESPN came up in 10 seconds and 6 seconds, respectively. YouTube videos took several seconds to buffer but offered synchronized audio and picture. Clips played back without interruption, but the video could get a bit murky.
Powered by a 624MHz processor, the Bold 9780 performed smoothly during our review period. There were minimal delays, as we were able to launch and switch between applications without problem.
The BlackBerry Bold 9780 ships with a 1,500mAh lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 6 hours and up to 17 days of standby time. In our battery drain tests the Bold beat the rated talk time by 1.5 hours. In general, with moderate use, we were able to go a full day or a day and a half before needing to recharge. According to FCC radiation tests, the Bold has a digital SAR rating of 1.34W/kg and a Hearing Aid Compatibility Rating of M3/T3.

What is the Royal Palace of Madrid?
The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official residence of the King of Spain, though the royal family does not live there. The Palacio Real de Madrid is still used for state occasions. The current palace was first occupied by Carlos III in 1764.
The current palace was built on the site of a former palace (Alcazar) that burned down in 1734. It took 26 years to complete. The palace was initially designed by Filippo Juvarra to accommodate the court of Felipe V, who had a total of more than 3000 courtiers, but he was not the monarch at its completion.
A visitor to the palace gets to see 50 of its 2800 rooms. Several collections of great importance are kept at the palace, including the Royal Armoury with weapons dating back to the 13th century. Another attraction of the Royal Palace is the Throne Room. Charles III had the Royal Porcelain factory create ceramics for the Throne Room. They adorn every inch of the wall space. As Napoleon said to his brother who he made king of Spain, "You will be better lodged here than I am myself." With 870 windows, 240 balconies, 44 sets of stairs and 110 doors, it keeps its janitors and cleaning staff pretty busy.
The palace is Madrid's largest building, and also the largest palace in Western Europe. The palace is also one of Europe's most important museums and receives almost a million visitors a year. It is open to the public and closed when used by the king for state functions.

Before our washing machine arrived at Stone Cottage, Jen's mum and nan kindly offered to do our laundry for us. I LOVE it because when we get it back, it's ironed, folded and smells lovely! I'm not a fan of ironing. Or fabric softener. But they are and it is lush.
I have a 'distressed' looking hoodie with rips and tears in it around the seams and cuffs etc to make it look old. They're supposed to be there to complete the look. Only, today they weren't. Upon closer inspection, all of the rips had been sowed and mended! Nan obviously didn't dig the look and 'fixed' my hoody :-)
Well I suppose this makes my hoody unique and I can guarantee that no one else has this 'distressed but fixed' look. Thanks nan! :-)

Fierce, fiery eyes bore deep within her soul.
Instinct screams. Ears left ringing.
Celestial drums synch alone two souls within the forest whole.
'This cannot be! These thoughts must fade away!
He is only supposed to be a creature of lore.
Yet, so handsome is he,' her eyes would not stray.
'So dangerous is he,' yet this made her want him more.
He closes in, halting one foot away,
His far superior nose devouring her scent.
His midnight wings flex, a message to convey.
'For a human, her scent is rather decadent…'
Smiling deviously at this thought amusing,
He gently pushes back a strand of her hair.
'So many human emotions, each one so confusing
Though to choose mortality for eternal love is more than fair.
Love is forbidden, for those of his realm to know.
"To keep, guard, and protect the human race,"
That is their status quo.
Then she came along, creating a change of pace…
Visited by the one in charge, with orders from the King of Kings.
"Go to their realm immediately, seek her out.
You are the one to whom her heart-song sings.
Marriage is a must, immortality is out."
As his hand brushed back a lock of her hair,
She intuitively knew 'he is the one.'
If anything were to happen, either here or there,
She knew he would be the one, to whom she'd run.
Her lips then gently brushed against his.
They kissed, then kissed passionately more.

News Release
For Immediate Release
January 30, 2016
Rossville, Georgia – On Saturday, January 30, 2016 at 2:00 AM, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) was requested by the Walker County Sheriff's Office to investigate an officer involved shooting incident that occurred on Sheila Gail Lane in Rossville during a SWAT standoff.
Preliminary information indicates that at about 6:15 PM, last night on January 29, the Walker County Sheriff's Office and Catoosa County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call of a shooting at a Sheila Gail Lane residence, near the county line. The 911 caller, a private propane contractor, had been dispatched to the residence for a service request. The resident, identified as Jose Alegre, age 64, reportedly became irate threatening to shoot the caller if he did not leave the residence. As the caller was leaving, Alegre began shooting at him. The caller was not hit by any of the gunfire and was able to escape.
As Walker and Catoosa County deputies arrived, attempts were made to contact Alegre, who had barricaded himself inside his home. Alegre would not respond to deputies' verbal commands and numerous attempts to initiate dialog. Walker County authorities obtained a search warrant for the residence and an arrest warrant for aggravated assault for Alegre. The Walker County SWAT team, which is comprised of deputies from Walker County and LaFayette Police, arrived on scene. Into the morning hours of Saturday January 30, around 12:37 AM, after continued attempts to make contact with Alegre were unsuccessful, the SWAT team deployed gas into the residence at which point Alegre began shooting at officers. Deputies' continued to initiate conversation with Alegre over a period of time and were unsuccessful. At about 1:48 AM, the SWAT team deployed into the home and were met by gunfire from Alegre. The SWAT team returned fire, killing Alegre.
An autopsy will be performed by the GBI Medical Examiner's Office at GBI Headquarters in Decatur. The deputies and officers involved in the incident were not injured.
The GBI will conduct an independent and thorough investigation to determine what occurred during the incident. When the investigation is complete, it will be turned over to the Walker County District Attorney's Office for review.
Operation Watchful Eye
The first official duty of Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson, President of the Georgia Sheriffs' Association, was to propose a coordinated effort involving all sheriffs' offices across the state to conduct residence verifications and compliance checks of registered sex offenders during a specific time frame. Operation Watchful Eye was born.
Two hundred and twenty-one registered sex offenders were arrested across the state during the week of October 26 – 31 for violations of state registration laws, thanks to our Georgia sheriffs.
The Office of Sheriff is mandated by law to register sex offenders, and to keep the public informed of where registered sex offenders reside, work and attend school. Throughout the year each sheriff's office verifies addresses provided by registered sex offenders.
While conducting residence verifications, deputies also check for compliance with additional registration requirements which may result in arrests. Prior to this initiative, there has not been a coordinated effort encompassing the resources of all sheriffs' offices in order to illustrate to the public and offenders that this critical mission is being accomplished.
"We hope this statewide initiative created awareness that sheriffs' offices work collectively, network, and actively engage their office by participating in statewide verification checks and other non-compliant matters, in order to make our state safer and showcase the excellent work of our sheriff's offices," stated Sheriff Wilson.
Preliminary reporting by 86 sheriffs reveals a total of 11,982 registered sex offenders, 224 predators, and 145 homeless sex offenders currently living in their counties. Throughout the six-day operation, 8,045 residence verifications were conducted and 153 new warrants were issued for violations of the sex offender registry law. Thirty-nine counties reported that 68 sex offenders moved into their county during the week.
Other agencies such as the Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS) and U.S. Marshals volunteered to assist counties in this initiative. The DCS reported 3,994 compliance checks were conducted on registered sex offenders who are under probation or parole supervision.
In numerous counties, deputies and probation/parole officers worked together to verify sex offenders are in compliance with the law.
During the checks, DSC reported 28 firearms seized, 27 other weapons seized, 31 cases of illegal drugs found, 36 sexually explicit items confiscated, and over 800 sexually related images located.
Remember, for the protection of your family and neighbors, visit your local sheriff's office website or visit the http://gbi.georgia.gov/georgia-sex-offender-registry for more information on the whereabouts of registered sex offenders in your community.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday that its main phone line, 404-244-2600, has been compromised as a result of phone spoofing.
When a phone number is spoofed, the caller ID of the caller will look like the call is coming from a valid number. In the case of the GBI, the GBI main number will appear. Scam callers have said they are collecting a debt for the IRS and an arrest warrant would be issued if the person did not pay.
The GBI stresses that they do not contact people for debt collection. If a person is called by someone claiming to be with the GBI, they are urged not to conduct any business or give out credit card information over the phone.

WASHINGTON - How do you sell Dallas in 11 minutes or less?
That's the challenge for Mayor Mike Rawlings as he prepares for a speech here tomorrow before hundreds of mayors from across the country. They're gathered for the annual winter meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which is always held here.
But it's the summer gathering of the non-partisan organization that Rawlings is focused on. It's held in different cities every year and it will be in Dallas in June for the first time since 1966.
So at tomorrow's luncheon on the second day of this meeting at the Capital Hilton, Rawlings has 11 minutes to give his best pitch. At a practice run this morning, it became clear that his current presentation still needs some cuts.
"This is not 11 minutes," Rawlings said to a couple of Dallas city staff members toward the end of his rehearsal in a near-empty ballroom.
In his speech, Rawlings plans to announce the performers who've been lined up to entertain the visiting mayors during their evenings in Dallas June 20-23. A committee of civic leaders has raised more than $4 million in private funds to underwrite the social events that will take place outside the mayors' official conference agenda.
It's an important speech for the mayor, who has worked hard during his term to put Dallas in the national and international conversation. So he is thinking through every word.
"I think this is in the wrong place," he said of one section.
"It's a little too much," he said of another.
"Kill that … we can go from there to here … that's good … I don't think that's that funny."
Brett Wilkinson, head of the Dallas governmental affairs office, took notes as Rawlings ordered up the changes. Frank Librio, director of the city public information office, was also there helping work on the speech. (Their travel and accommodations are paid for via those previously mentioned private funds.)
The mayor had some additions of his own, including a polite request that the crowd not boo when he mentions the Dallas Cowboys. He's in enemy territory for his team, after all.

ST. MARYS, , W.Va. - The sixth annual Sweet Breath of Spring Vidalia Onion Festival will be 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday in St. Marys.
The festival will feature music, food, crafts and activities. Inflatables will be set up on Washington Street at St. Marys United Methodist Church from noon to 7 p.m. and will be free for participants. A new addition to this year's festival is the "Senior Ladies Onion Pageant."
Other activities will include bingo, cornhole, a Vidalia Onion Eating contest, a farmers market and the third annual Best Pie in Pleasants County contest and pie auction. The pie contest and auction will take place with judging in the morning and auction in the afternoon.
There will be three categories: fruit, cream and nut pies. In each category there will be first through third place awards with prizes of $15, $10 and $5. All pies entered for judging must be in a nine- or 10-inch disposable pan and will be accepted at St. Marys City Hall from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday.
The top three pies in each category and the overall winning pie will be auctioned at 5 p.m. Pies not placing will be cut and sold by the slice beginning at noon. Any entry not meeting requirements will not be judged and will be sold by the slice at the city building.
Those who attend the Onion Festival have something to be proud of as it is their chance to help local organizations and people in need. As you purchase something from a vendor, the money goes directly to the organization.
As an example, the women entrepreneur group, WE SHINE (Women Entrepreneurs Succeed, Help, Inspire, Network and Encourage), will be raising money to sponsor Jodi Renee Powell in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Race for the Cure. Members of this free networking group, comprised of female business owners up and down the Ohio River, will donate portions of their individual sales as well as raffle basket ticket sales to that cause.
Those purchasing 10-pound bags of Vidalia onions will be supporting the Onion Gangs Major Medical Fund. Other groups may be raising funds for Relay for Life.

Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' monsters stomp and bleed in two new images
Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim" monsters have some mighty big claws to fill - though from the looks of it they just might be up for the job.
An enormous footprint rivaling Godzilla's (or likely surpassing it) is central to one of two new photos from the upcoming robots-vs.-monsters tentpole, in a mockup that suggests footage from a frantic Japanese news broadcast. The second, captioned "This is as close as you ever want to get to Kaiju blood" (Kaiju being the proper name for the giant beasts), suggests that - like the acidic xenomorphs of the "Alien" franchise - you really, really don't want to be close by when one of these suckers bites the dust.
Check out the two new pics below and let us know what you think.
"Pacific Rim" hits theaters on July 12.

SAN JOSE -- A former doctor at Valley Medical Center has been accused of embezzling nearly $50,000 in federal grant money that was earmarked to pay for cancer research at the hospital.
According to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, Dr. Tri Minh Do spent some of more than $46,000 that was stolen on credit card bills and his parents' mortgage.
Do, 45, was charged with felony misappropriation of public funds and faces up to four years in prison if convicted. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 13.
"I would hope that every penny for cancer research is spent on the treatment and survival of patients," said prosecutor Judy Lee in a statement released Tuesday. "Mr. Do is charged with diverting thousands of dollars of these funds."
Prosecutors said the embezzlement was detected late last year, after Do had already left his job at Valley Medical Center.
Hospital staff noticed a series of unexpected reimbursement checks from the American College of Radiology, which had been sending in checks for a year.
Prosecutors said that Do was in charge of the study and had deposited thousands of dollars in reimbursement checks into his own account.
