Pat Buchanan Really Brings Out the Best in People
Regardless of what you might think of the merits of Patrick J. Buchanan's article, "The Real Haters," he certainly does bring out the anti-Semites like no one this side of Ron Paul. If you feel a sudden urge to disagree, you might just want to traipse through the comments on Pat's little gem. It's like a deranged little party filled with holocaust deniers and white supremacists. One, in particular, from the commenter "honestbabe" stands out as more odious than the rest in its repetition of outright lies and slander about Jewish ritual sacrifices:
While it's hardly fair to hold the commenters against the author, that his writing attracts so much positive (and almost gleeful) attention from these bastards isn't a coincidence. While there might be some good debate about Mr. John Demjanjuk's fate, the focus of Buchanan's article, there is just as much something very obvious tucked away to give every good anti-Semite's soul some cause to smile. In this case, aside from the topic, it's there at the end of the article:
The right kind of anti-Semite--you know, the Christian, white anti-Semites--know that the Jews are responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. Would Buchanan, a smart man who has always written with great consideration, bumble into that kind of a line completely ignoring or ignorant of the fact that many Christian anti-Semites consider Jews to be the children of the devil and that Jews are little more than manipulative liars and bitter sub-humans who twisted the reality of the holocaust to serve their personal ends? I find that hard to believe and, given the proximity to Easter, quite manipulative in itself.
As I said, Buchanan sure does know how to bring out the true haters.

—With the resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) disease in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the United States, multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB emerged as a serious challenge to TB control. In response, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1993 added drug susceptibility test results to the information collected for the national surveillance system to monitor trends in drug resistance.
—To determine the extent of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in the United States.
—Descriptive analysis of TB surveillance data.
Study Population.
—Patients reported to the national TB surveillance system as confirmed TB cases with culture-positive disease from 1993 through 1996 by the 50 states, New York City, and the District of Columbia (DC).
Main Outcome Measure.
—Percentage of case patients with culture-positive disease whose isolates are resistant to specific anti-TB drugs.
—Overall resistance to at least isoniazid was 8.4%; rifampin, 3.0%; both isoniazid and rifampin (ie, MDR TB), 2.2%; pyrazinamide, 3.0%; streptomycin, 6.2%; and ethambutol hydrochloride, 2.2%. Rates of resistance were significantly higher for case patients with a prior TB episode. Among those without prior TB, isoniazid resistance of 4% or more was found in 41 states, New York City, and DC. A total of 1457 MDR TB cases were reported from 42 states, New York City, and DC; however, 38% were reported from New York City. Rates of isoniazid and streptomycin resistance were higher for cases among US-born compared with foreign-born patients, but rates of rifampin resistance and MDR TB were similar. Among US-born patients, resistance to first-line drugs, particularly rifampin monoresistance, was significantly higher among those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
—Compared with recent US surveys in 1991 and 1992, isoniazid resistance has remained relatively stable. In addition, the percentage of MDR TB has decreased, although the national trend was significantly influenced by the marked decrease in New York City. Foreign-born and HIV-positive patients and those with prior TB have higher rates of resistance. The widespread extent of isoniazid resistance confirms the need for drug susceptibility testing to guide optimal treatment of patients with culture-positive disease.

Who doesn't love a good margarita?
It's such a simple drink. All it takes is a good shot of tequila, some orange liqueur and freshly squeezed lime juice.
Shake it all up, pour it into a salt-rimmed glass, garnish with a lime wedge and sip away.
But sometimes heavy hands add too much sweet, too much sour or too much alcohol. A good, well-balanced margarita requires good tequila and properly measured add-ins.
Some bartenders also have upped the ante by using high-end tequilas and other mix-ins to concoct great-tasting margaritas and other drinks.
At Taqueria Mi Pueblo in Detroit, manager and bartender Salvador Gutierrez says the restaurant serves up plenty of its signature premium margaritas.
"It used to be most were made with Jose Cuervo, but more people are more interested in having them with top-shelf tequilas," says Gutierrez.
He says the huge assortment of tequilas available today can make a margarita unique.
Mi Pueblo's premium version is made with Don Julio tequila, Triple Sec, Grand Marnier and fresh-squeezed lime and orange juices. It's $10 for an 18-ounce drink.
As tequila has gained in popularity, prices have soared.
Ron Barkho, owner of Casa del Vino in Trenton, Mich., says he carries much more tequila than he did several years ago. His premium tequilas range from $40 a bottle up to $400.
"The $400 one is aged at least 30-some months," says Barko.
Consumers are becoming more knowledgeable about tequila and seeking out more varieties and uses, says Danielle Eddy, spokeswoman for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.
In 2010, the number of cases of tequila sold in the United States -- 11.5 million -- rose 3.6 percent from 2009.
One drawback of margaritas made with mixes is that they are laden with extra calories. An 8-ounce margarita can have about 450 calories, depending on the mix.
For my favorite summer drink, I cut the calorie count down by adding cucumber water to the mix. (See instructions in the recipe on this page.) The mild cucumber pairs well with tequila.
>Classic Margarita
Coarse salt, optional
Lime wedges
1 1/2 ounces favorite tequila
1/2 ounce Triple Sec
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 ounce fresh orange juice
Place the coarse salt on a plate. Rub the rim of a cocktail or margarita glass with lime. Gently roll in the coarse salt and set aside.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the tequila, Triple Sec and lime and orange juices. Give it a shake and strain into a glass.
Serves one.
You can add more lime and orange juice, to taste.

>Frozen Sangria Margarita
Salt or sugar for rimming glasses, optional
Ice cubes
4 ounces sangria
6 ounces prepared margarita mix
3 ounces tequila
2 ounces lime juice
2 ounces simple syrup (see note)
Lime and orange wedges for garnish
Rub the rims of two glasses with lime wedges to moisten. Dip the moistened rim of the glasses in salt or sugar, if desired.
In a blender, place about 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour in the sangria, margarita mix, tequila, lime juice and simple syrup. Pulse until mixture is slushy. Pour into prepared glasses, and garnish with lime and orange wedges.
Cook's note: To make a simple syrup, in a small saucepan, heat equal parts of water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly syrupy. Store, refrigerated, up to five days.
Serves two.
Adapted from several recipes.

>Cucumber Margarita
Lime wedges
Salt, sugar and lime zest for the rim of the glass, optional
Ice cubes
1/2 cup cucumber water
1/2 cup margarita mix
1 1/2 ounces silver tequila
1/2 ounce Triple Sec
2 tablespoons lime juice (or more to taste)
If desired, rub the rim of a cocktail glass with a lime wedge. Place the salt, sugar and lime zest on a plate. Dip the lime-rubbed rim of the glass into the salt mixture. Place some ice cubes in the glass.
Place some ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Pour in the cucumber water, margarita mix, tequila, Triple Sec and lime juice. Give it a few shakes and then strain into the prepared glass and serve.
Serves one.
Cut calories by using half margarita mix and half cucumber water. To make the cucumber water, add 1/2 medium peeled and sliced cucumber to 2 quarts of water. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

>Know your tequila
Gold or silver? Reposado or anejo?
Here's some help in deciphering tequila labels from Richard McDonald, 62, of Huntington Woods, Mich., and www.tequilasource.com. McDonald is a certified specialist of spirits, a designation that's similar to that of a wine sommelier.
Spirits labeled tequila come primarily from the Mexican state of Jalisco, the tequila capital of the world. They must contain at least 51 percent distilled blue agave, a succulent plant. The remaining percentage can be made up of other sugars, and these tequilas are referred to as "mixto."
McDonald says to look for tequila that says 100 percent agave on the label.
Here are common types:
Blanco or silver: Clear tequilas that are not aged or aged no more than two months in wood barrels. McDonald says they typically have strong vegetal flavors (think green pepper) and are spicy or peppery.
Joven or gold: Silver tequilas that are honey-toned from added caramel coloring. Most are mixtos but they also can be made from 100 percent agave. They taste smoother.
Reposado: Tequilas aged from 2 months to a year. McDonald says these are usually aged in old bourbon barrels. "The color is light tan, and it's the aging in wood that softens that vegetal bite of the blanco and makes it a little smoother."
Anejo: These are aged one to two years in wood. They're much darker and have softer flavors and a toned-down peppery bite. McDonald says anejo is usually sipped and seldom used in cocktails.Extra-anejo or ultra-aged: These are relatively new to the market and are aged more than three years.

Incoming Students
Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration
The Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR), conducted by Penn State's Division of Undergraduate Studies (DUS), assists first-year students in evaluating their educational plans by providing them, prior to initial registration, with a comprehensive program of testing and individualized educational planning and academic advising. This program is the first stage of academic advising and provides students with an understanding of their scholastic preparation, academic abilities, educational and professional interests, and introduces them to the academic structure and degree programs of the University.
The testing component of SOAR is used for educational planning and academic advising purposes, to determine a student's appropriate starting levels in mathematics and chemistry course sequences, and for basic skills purposes. The testing component involves approximately 2-3 hours or less of the student's time. For more information, visit the SOAR testing page.
Consulting and Advising
The educational planning and academic advising component of the program provides students and families with an understanding of each student's academic preparation and abilities. The advising component of SOAR also provides each student with an individual interview with a SOAR advisor in order to discuss the student's educational plans. The program also familiarizes students and families with the wide range of degree programs available at Penn State, acquaints them with the campus and some of its procedures and helps students to select courses for their first semester of study.
For further information please review the Penn State Altoona SOAR Web site.

It's been awhile since we've blogged, but that's not to say we haven't been hard at work improving Drupal Gardens for our thousands of site builders. We've added a host of new features since the last update including entity relationships and field collections for managing site content more easily, support for 301 domain redirects for search engine optimization and new Open Graph meta tag options for effectively managing interactions between Drupal Gardens websites and social networks.
Additionally, we've deployed many fixes and Drupal patches over the past few months to make the Drupal Gardens service more robust. You can find all the fix/patch info here. Now read on for details on the new features!
- Create relationships between content, comments, users and more
Use entity reference fields to link a content type, comment, user or any other entity to another. For example, if you want to create a Product Category that lists a related Accessory for each Product, add an entity reference field to your Product content type that refers to your Accessory content type. Learn more. (DG-7406)
- Add field collections to your site's content, users and other entities
Use field collections with your website's content types, users and other entities to capture a variable number of fields. For example, you may want your Music Album content type to contain a field collection of Tracks, where each track includes a track number and title. Now anyone entering an Album can add as few or as many tracks as needed. Learn more. (DG-7403)
- Maximize your SEO results by telling search engines to only use your vanity domain
If your Drupal Gardens website has a custom domain, you can rest assured knowing that only the vanity domain will appear in search result listings with a simple Drupal Gardens 301 redirect configuration - your Drupal Gardens URL, [sitename].drupalgardens.com, will no longer be displayed in search results. Learn more. (DG-1966)
- Easily share images with your social networks
Drupal Gardens now supports the use of tokens with the Open Graph image tag so you can quickly share photos or images with social networking sites. Learn more.
- Gain an understanding of how visitors interact with your site's content using Facebook Insights
Analyze who is liking and sharing content on your Drupal Gardens site by using Facebook Insights and our new support for the fb:app_id and fb:admins meta tags. Learn more.
Your pricing matrix page is out-of-date / not fully inaccurate. It needs to present all of the additional modules that become available at the Professional subscription level and higher (i.e. Entity Reference, et al.).
It is VERY difficult to figure out what is not available at the Basic subscription level without having to read every blog post and fourm announcement on the drupalgardens.com site.
Thanks in advance.
The facebook insights information is an interesting read.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Given the demands of a 21st century workforce, educators and policymakers agree that the purpose of high school has shifted from graduating students to ensuring that students are poised for success in college and career.
To drive toward this goal, every American high school must be able to systematically understand the extent to which its graduates are achieving college proficiency—in other words, how well their students are doing the year after high school. With this information in hand, high schools can make sound, strategic decisions to "launch" their students to postsecondary success.
Please join the Center for American Progress and College Summit in celebrating the release of "The Promise of Proficiency," a white paper that proposes steps the federal government must take to ensure that high schools are fully empowered to graduate students onto the path of college and career proficiency.
9:00 a.m. – 9:10 a.m. Introduction and Opening Remarks:
Cynthia G. Brown, Vice President for Education Policy, Center for American Progress
J.B. Schramm, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, College Summit
9:10 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Keynote Address:
Martha J. Kanter, Under Secretary, U.S. Department of Education
Introduction by:
Robert Campbell, Vice Chairman and U.S. State Government Leader, Deloitte LLP
9:30 a.m. – 10:40 a.m. Featured panelists:
Bethany Little, Chief Education Counsel, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions
Charles Thomas, Principal, Crossland High School, Prince George's County, Maryland
Emma Vadehra, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Department, U.S. Department of Education
Moderated by:
Cynthia G. Brown, Vice President for Education Policy, Center for American Progress

Medical inventor Michael Korn has won this year's Dragons' Den competition organised by the JC and the London Jewish Cultural Centre. The 29 year-old was the runaway winner with his KwickScreen invention - a versatile, retractable screen that creates temporary partitions between hospital beds.
Mr Korn, who studied at Cambridge, Imperial College and the Royal College of Art, says: "My sister worked in hospitals and explained the practical problems of hospital-acquired infections - such as blood from syringes getting spattered from one bed to another. Plus I visited a few hospitals and saw there was a huge waste of space. I thought: 'why can't they just divide up the space in a clever way?'
"They can be used as physical barriers between beds, still giving staff visibility of the patient, or as privacy and dignity screens and can help accommodate modest Orthodox Jewish patients."
Mr Korn has invested his own money into the venture, which has been endorsed by the NHS.
The final took place at the London Jewish Cultural Centre's Ivy House in north London last night. The judging panel comprised Bernie Myers - Former managing director of N M Rothschild Sons Ltd; Patsy Bloom - Founder of Pet Plan; Jonathan Kestenbaum, chief executive of Nesta, National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts; Lisa Ronson, marketing director of Heron International; Michael Ziff, shoe salesman and chief executive of Barrats Priceless Ltd and JC business editor Candice Krieger.
Mr Korn fought off competition from the four other hopefuls; Meditemptatts, a range of temporary hypoallergenic transfers for for sufferers of invisible medical conditions such as allergies and epilepsy; Snoozechair, a reclining moving baby chair; to help babies sleep; Room Renovator, a box of accessories to help consumers to achieve a designer-look home at an affordable price and Doggie Macs, a range of waterproof dog coats.
See next Friday's JC for the judges verdict and a full interview with Michael Korn.

Vous êtes ici : A land of feelings | On the rails |
On the greenway of the Hauts de Tardoire
This 13 km-long greenway (multi-use trail) was created on a former railway and wends it way through a naturally preserved area, where walkers, cyclists, roller-skaters and people with reduced mobility can walk or ride in a pleasant and safe environment. One of the ways of access to it can be found in the former station in Châlus. Open-air events are offered all year long: discover the natural world on roller-skates with an organiser...

The Important Safety Question Parents Aren't AskingLori Garcia
As parents we're called upon to do a lot of things: teach, provide, care, and most importantly, protect our children.
Like most, I take this parenting thing seriously and would like to think I'm doing a pretty good job. From covered electrical outlets to cushioned table corners, helmeted heads to school pickups and drop offs, danger mitigation is what us parents do best.
And while it's true that we can't protect our kids from everything, it'll never stop us from trying.
When my husband and I got into a major debate over owning a gun, I absolutely refused to back down. Despite knowing that firearms can be kept securely within a home, as for me and my house, the answer will always be no. But what I never stopped to consider was that the gun I refused to keep in my own house might easily reside in someone else's.
While national estimated gun ownership statistics vary, a Pew Research Center study found that 37 percent of American households contain firearms. Is this to suggest that on average, 37 percent of my kids' friends have firearms in the homes they frequent? Perhaps. What percentage of those firearms are locked up and stowed away safely? As Nicole Blades of ms. marymack points out, we'll never know unless we ask.
So parents, why aren't we asking: Do you keep a gun in the home?
Because it feels weird, right? And yet we have no problem asking whether those cookies contain peanuts, whether the backyard pool is gated, or whether the family dog is friendly. We never stop and think about firearms in other people's homes. And guess what? The oversight can be deadly. According to the Center for Disease Control, 785 kids under age 14 lost their lives to unintentional firearm deaths between 1999 and 2010. That's 785 kids who belonged to loving parents, 785 kids with promising futures, and 785 kids who could have just as easily been one of ours.
As far as I know, only one of my kids' friends has firearms in his home. And even then I only know because his mother, a police officer, notified me long before my son ever set foot inside their home. She'd seen enough to understand that this was information I deserved to know. If I had a gun in my home, particularly one that was out of reach and stored securely in a lock box, would I think to notify parents? Maybe not.
Listen, I know asking about gun ownership feels awkward, but until we start asking, we'll never remove the sting of the question or shadow of uncertainty. In thinking about the best way to approach this and other important safety questions relating to my kids in other people's homes, I think honesty is the way to go:
Hi, I'm Lori. Thanks for inviting my son to your house; he's so excited. I hope you can understand that I make it a point to talk to my son's friend's parents as a matter of safety, as I'm sure you do. Would you mind if I asked a few questions about your home environment?
My son isn't a very strong swimmer, do you have a pool? Is it gated?
I know you mentioned something about taking the boys to lunch, do you have a proper child restraint or would you like me to bring one?
Do you keep a firearm in your home? How is it secured?
Are there any special household rules my son needs to be aware of?
I know it sounds like a lot, you guys, but this is information PARENTS NEED TO KNOW and honestly, I'd applaud any parent who asked these questions of me and my home.
So tell me, will you be asking the question?

Physical comedians of a type that American audiences likely will find hopelessly retrograde, the Spanish trio Tricicle makes its long-in-coming Stateside debut with "Three-for-All," a 90-minute stretch of mostly wordless sketch comedy too short on laughs to compensate for the dated variety-show-filler approach. Although the trio credits Charlie Chaplin and the Marx Brothers as inspirations, Tricicle (Joan Gracia, Paco Mir and Carles Sans, making their Off Broadway bows 18 years after forming the group) displays neither the pathos of the former nor wit of the latter. Audiences expecting a Barcelonan Blue Man Group probably wouldn't last to the unnecessary intermission.
Determinedly old-fashioned in style and material, "Three-for-All" follows a day or two in the lives of three nameless roommates as they do battle with everyday hazards (remote controls, bathroom lines, hard-to-open compact discs). One of the characters (played by Mir) is a blocked author, allowing Tricicle the familiar device of enacting the narrated, Sam Spade-like stories as they're being written and rewritten.
Another roommate is a percussionist (Sans) who plays loudly on any number of surfaces (though Stomp this ain't), and the third is a man (Gracia) who for no discernible reason dresses in a Roman centurion costume made of newspaper. In one skit the centurion and a clown pose for tips in a New York subway, a routine devoid both of laughs and Gotham authenticity.
Despite their limber, athletic prowess (put to tireless use on the many-doored apartment set), the performers often seem like improv comedians struggling for something funny. Surprise is a rarity: Even as ice cubes or drunken flies (witlessly costumed by Pepi Aubia), the performers rely on annoying noises and oft-repeated sight gags. A mimed tennis match, roller-coaster ride and Tour de France bicycle race offer more comic promise than Tricicle delivers.

The Centro also has English speaking psychologists who can assist you and have the enough experience and intercultural background to face the main problems foreigners have to deal with, such as homesickness, adjusting difficulties and emotional disorders. We also provide psychiatric services in case you have difficulties in finding a medical treatment with an English speaking psychiatrist. Most of our foreign clients are British, North-American (Canada and USA) citizens and other European people working in private companies and International Institutions. We have established agreements with some American (HTH) and European (Allianze World Wide Care) Insurance Companies. You could also ask your insurance company if they cover health adversities overseas.
Psychotherapy is the regular meeting with a trained professional and the goal is to help the patient or client feel better in a lasting way. It follows a especific methodology of work and its aim is to reduce the suffering of the client and increase his/her sense of well being, autonomy and self-confidence. The therapeutic process evolves in a special framework, in which privacy, confidenciality and no moral judgements are the rule.
A commitment to undertaking psychotherapeutic work should not be taken lightly, since while initial sessions will frequently bring about a sensation of relief, deeper changes in patterns of behaviour, cognitive styles, processing of emotions and personality traits require ongoing work.
In our "De interés" section you can find an English written paper, "What to expect from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy" where you can find a good description of our professional approach to psychological difficulties.
Indications for this type of work include:
Depression and/or anxiety states
- Confusion that impacts daily functioning
- Repeated relationship difficulties with new partners
- Sleeping or eating disorders
- Dissociative states or feelings of unrealness
- Inability to cope with a crisis or loss
- Persistent feelings of aloneness
- Feelings of ongoing dissatisfaction and/or frustration with one's situation and choices
- A desire for increased self-understanding/self-awareness.

DEBERT - A 3,000-square foot expansion at the Debert Hospitality Centre has been unveiled to a group of military cadets at the Debert gliding school and to an enthusiastic public.
The new building is to be known as Pettis Lodge and features 14 new bedrooms, including some with multiple beds. That means the lodge can accommodate up to 22 people, with 113 more sleeping spaces in the Debert Hospitality Centre's main complex, located just across the parking lot.
Part of the reason for building the new facility is that military cadets, who train at the Debert Flight Centre each summer, needed a replacement for their old living quarters inside the Diefenbunker.
But co-owner Derek Taylor says the brand-new facility will be used year-round.
"It's got in-floor heat, wireless Iinternet and plasma TVs, so we expect it to be a popular addition to our conference centre, even in the fall and winter months," says Taylor.
"We also made sure it's completely wheelchair accessible, and that's a major improvement for our broad range of clientele."
Construction began in March and the facility is now ready to house
its first cadets. Many of them
were on hand for the recent tour of the building, and liked what they had to see.
To look at Pettis Lodge, most would think it's brand new from the ground up, but that's not actually the case.
The frame was that of a former military facility, which was salvaged and improved upon.
Taylor and his business partner Leonard Dash pointed to a series of brand new interior walls infused with extra-thick insulation and energy efficient windows.
"This place is going to be a lot easier to heat and cool than it was before," says Dash. "And with the new furnishings, beds and freshly-carpeted, heated floors, we know it's going to be popular."
Taylor said close to 20 local tradespeople worked on the project.
"From plumbing, to electrical to carpenters and the engineering for this building, we kept it all local," he says.
The building is named for Shirley Pettis, who is Taylor's grandmother. She was on hand for the initial tour, and was visibly delighted to have it named in her honour.
Expansion at Debert Hospitality Centre should prove to be popular

NATIONAL PARK -- After months of negotiations, the local Board of Education has ratified a new contract for the district's teachers.
The district's teachers had been working without a contract, since the previous one expired June 30. The new contract is valid through June 2011.
Business Administrator Donna Contrevo said the negotiation process began in January 2008, but the two sides reached an impasse over the summer. A mediator was assigned by the state and a tentative agreement was reached after the second mediation session, held in January 2009.
The new contract includes increases of nearly 5 percent per year for the teachers.
For the full story and details of the new contract, check out Saturday's edition of the Gloucester County Times.

Dear Lucinda:
We cannot thank you enough for everything you personally did to ensure the success of the recent holiday party for North Bend Medical Center physicians, staff and guests held in the Salmon rooms at the Mill Casino and Hotel this past weekend.
Your unfailing professionalism, attention to detail, and positive can-do attitude as well as your willingness to "go the extra mile" made it a joy to work with you over the past few months planning this event.
Again, thank you.
Marce Knight, Assistant Administrator
Dear Lucinda,
On behalf of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce and the many sponsors of the 18th annual Economic Outlook Forum, thank you again for all that you and your staff did to ensure the continuing success of the Economic Outlook Forum.
Lucinda, your attention to detail and masterful control of all the logistics involved made the event truly professional. Please give a special thanks to Doug for the excellent IT support he provides at our events. Your kitchen and dining crew produced an exceptional breakfast experience, keeping folks continuously well taken care of throughout the Forum.
Working with you on any project is always joy because of your professionalism. I look forward to the new levels we can reach with this event this year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Timm Slater
Good morning Sue,
I received many nice comments following our Christmas meeting. Thanks again for your help in organizing our successful event.
Bruce Schlaebitz
SAF Treasurer
Coos Chapter Society of American Foresters
We had a great turnout and everything went very smooth. The catering staff was wonderful. Thanks very much for all your help!
Allen Heather
Everything was just perfect! The room was beautiful. It was tight with everyone in there, but I think it worked out just fine. The staff was very friendly and very helpful and I think everyone had a great time. Many positive comments on the food. It was really excellent.
Thank you again for all of your help and putting up with our anxiousness. I would definately recommend The Mill for a wedding reception venue.
Thank you so much! I loved the reception, it was beautiful and the cake was exactly how I wanted it! Mine and Jason's family had nothing but great things to say about the reception!
So nice to meet you Saturday night, Nicole. I would like to express how very pleased we were with everything. The dinner was fabulous, the service was way beyond good...really the best ever. The head person (the one we paid), sorry I cannot remember her name.... I can't say enough good things about her and her crew. Felt like I had made new friends by the time the party wrapped up. All the little extra things that The Mill did was so appreciated and made our event very special. Please extend my gratitude to Sue also, she was a huge help and kept it all together for us.
Bless you all,
Kaye and the Coquille class of 1970.
Hi Nichole-
I was going to thank you today for such a wonderful event. The room was perfect, the bartender was great, and Cecelia took excellent care of us. I think Lesli had a great time and so did all of our guests.
I would not hesitate to plan and have an event again at the Casino, as we were very pleased!
Thanks to you, and Amy for making sure everything went so smoothly for us.
Take care!
Lucinda, Amy & Staff in the Catering Department:
On behalf of the Coquille Chamber of Commerce, I would like to sincerely THANK YOU for the beautiful cake, donated for the Annual Chamber Awards Evening & Chocolate Fantasy/Fiesta! This was quite a creation, but I have seen & tasted your creations many times. This was for our Chamber Evening so it was really special.
You received all the praise not only from the chamber attendees, but we saved the top creation showing it to all the seniors, who attend the Monday lunch program in the Community Center. Little by little, with everyone having a "little" taste, our beautiful chocolate flower has disappeared! But, I have pictures and enclosed a couple for your files.
Again, A big Thank you,
Fran Capehart, Chairman & Chamber Board Member
Thank you for your outstanding support of our APAC last week. Everyone at The Mill Casino treated us very special and we will return in the future. The upgrade to room #761 made our hospitality room a hit.
Thank you again,
Bob Elliott
Dear Lucinda,
I want to thank you and your entire hotel staff for your efforts in making our stay at your facility August 6-8, 2010 such a positive experience. It was refreshing to see "everyone" so involved in making sure our conference was successful.
Of course you in particular, went above and beyond, from accommodating last minute requests, to insuring the timeliness of A/V set up, to assisting with banquets during our Friday night event; none of which went unnoticed or unappreciated. You exemplify the concept of a team effort.
You were organized, accommodating, and on top of even the smallest of details. Meeting rooms were ready and situated according to our requests. It all made my job easier.
Although it is difficult logistically for our 5-state group to make the trip to Coos Bay, if not for that factor I can assure you we would return soon.
On behalf of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters, I want to thank you again for making our stay a memorable delight.

Hi Sue,
Everything was fantastic. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, plenty of food for everyone. The cakes were great. It was all set up beautifully. The guests complimented everything highly.
Thank you for everything. It was a huge success.
Jennifer Ellington
Thank you Sue,
Everything went very, very well!!!! We had a great time!!! I can't thank you all enough. The wait staff was fantastic, the food was out of this world and if we don't all gain at least five pounds from devouring what's left of that delicious cake it will be a miracle! I will be in to share some photos with you soon.
Thanks again,
Michelle and Vince
Hi Lucinda,
Gloria and I would like to thank both you and Nichole for arranging our generous stay at the Mill.
We were both blown away by the quality of the property, it's location, the sights and smells of the setting and bountiful buffet.
Your conference rooms are really versatile and it looks as though you can accommodate a large range of group sizes and needs.
I will be sure to recommend you to all meeting and event planners looking for a coastal option and hope you can stop by DirtFish on your next visit to Seattle.
Best Regards,
Doc and Gloria Doolittle
Amy & Nichole.
The evening has ended and the reunion has been a success!
The banquet area was just beautiful. Everything was arranged and on time!
Thank you so much for the special chair for one of our classmates. It really helped her.
I appreciate your patience and the excellent job you did for us!
Hugs to you both-
Sandy Ray
We had a great time, Sue! Thanks for everything and all your hard work to make it happen.

Cal Mukumoto
CEO of CEDCO
We can't say enough how impressed we were with every facet of our wedding reception at The Mill Casino. Despite our continued procrastination and last minute changes you were able to help us pull off a memorable wedding reception. The devil is in the details and boy did you get those details correct! I was forced to look up the word "superlative" in a thesaurus to find the proper words to describe our experience with you personally and with the Mill Casino concerning our event. From your continued communication and support to the impeccable service we received before, during, and after the reception we give you our deepest thanks and appreciation. The food was fantastic, the drinks were excellent, the cake was perfect, and the service was magnificent! Rest assured we will act as future sales agents for you and never miss a chance to cheerlead for the Mill whenever any of our family, friends, or passersby happen to mention an upcoming event!
Thanks again for making this wonderful day for us so very special!
Chris and Ayesha Thornsberry
We want to thank you for the wonderful job you did as events coordinator at the wedding reception of our daughter Amy and Patrick Kusilek on August 19th.
Getting into the reception room early to decorate was important to us and you really came through on that!
We also appreciated the attention to details such as the timeline for the evening which worked perfectly.
Jeanne & Steve Woods
Hi Sue, home late last night from a week of camping in Oregon along the Coquille River with my brother and family, had a wonderful time!
I can't thank you enough for everything, the cake was amazing and Cecilia really took care of us with the set up of the napkins and the food, which was super yummy.
Everyone had a great time, thank you. I'm sure you will be seeing us again next year sometime when its time to plan for the baby shower.
take care

It was nice to meet you on the night of the North Bend High School 50th year reunion. I wanted to be sure to thank you and The Mill staff for being so accommodating and friendly. You helped make the reunion a very special night for many people. I was impressed that you actually were there to make sure everything was ready. Thanks.
I also want to say what a privilege it was to work with you over the last 2 years in helping with the planning and the final production. I look forward to working with you and the staff next time, whenever that may be. Please let all of your staff know how much they were appreciated.

Just a note of t hanks for all your help on our recent trip to North Bend.
The Seafood Buffet on Friday night was fantastic.
We checked out of our motel Saturday and returned to the Casino. It was a beautiful day. We all enjoyed the canoe races, Indian dancing and drumming and then a very good lunch at the Plank House.
Thanks again and hope to visit again soon.

Nice meeting you. We had an enjoyable time and hope we can come and spend more time during the year John and I had a wonderful dinner in the main dining area.
Thanks again.
Nancy Tisdale, Two Mile Travelers
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your hospitality, both during and after the event. The presentation went great, everyone enjoyed the food as well as the venue. Kathy and her staff helping last night were fantastic; they made sure everyone was happy and had what they needed. The evening beyond the event was great as well. The room was very
Comfortable and had a great view. I wanted to thank you for the bottle of champagne; it was perfect to help wind down the night.
Hope you have a great weekend!

PS Thanks for the awesome cakes!
Hi Sue -
Thank you for the email - and thank you for all of your help planning our big day. The wedding week was a huge success. Evan and I (Mr and Mrs Amanda Hanlon (hee hee!)) are so happy with everything the Mill did for us. We can't thank you enough.
Thank you for the pictures of the very delicious cake, and don't worry about the scissors or string. We considered those lost :)
Thanks again, and happy holidays to you too.
Dear Mr. Close,
Sometimes it is approprioate to mention to management a certain atmosphere that surrounds guests at your property. This happened to 35 of us on the 6th-7th of December when we bussed up to see Shore Acres and enjoy your facility.
It is hard to believe that we used so much of the property in such a short time but from the gift shop to the Plank House and on the floor of the casino, the staff was absolutely incredible. Lalita, who works in the casino was better than anyone I have ever encountered in her position. She actually came up to us and offered us the EXACT drinks we had previously ordered....how she remembered, we will never know. She is quite the asset!
Your hotel staff was courteous and worked well under pressure. Always smiling. I ordered 4 mini cakes to bring home while eating dinner and as promised, they were ready by noon the day of departure. They were beautifully done and delivered with that, by now, famous Mill Casino smile. Is there training for that?
From developing thr group to the cookies and cider, Sue Karolyi was so professional and on her days off, Nichole took right over knowing exactly what our needs were. As the group leader I was so impressed with the entire operation. The harmony created by the consistency in the vision that upper management has created here is admirable.
Thank you for an enjoyable stay. Please pass our kudos on to everyone we encountered. It was such a pleasure to stay with you.

Dear Lucinda and Sue:
Thank you both so very much for your excellent and superb hospitality during our recent MPI Board of Directors Retreat: Sunday, May 20 – Tuesday, May 22, 2012. You and your team at the Mill Casino Hotel and RV Park did an amazing job! The rooms are great, the food was FABULOUS and your staff were so gracious!
I have spread the word to other colleagues about the excellent experience. I, myself plan international meetings – and seldom do meetings in Oregon, but you can be sure – I will recommend you to any colleagues in a heartbeat!
My husband and I do have an RV, and we will stop by this summer for sure!

On behalf of the Class of 1992, I just wanted to extend a huge Thank You to you and your staff for a job well done. We had a great time Saturday night and The Mill continues to be the standard
in our community for professionalism for events like these. Sue, Jennifer, your IT guy (I forgot his name) and the rest of the serving staff were fantastic and everybody was very pleased with the food, service and the room.
We'll see you again in another ten years!

Hi Amy:
Just a few words to describe your banquet staff's performance at last week's luncheon…
Never before in the 12 years I've been doing this event have we ever had as incredible (and unexpected) a turnout as the one we had last Friday. And Cecelia and her crew stepped up to the plate and did an incredible job making sure that we had sufficient place settings and food to feed the additional people that showed up unexpectedly.
Thank you for your assistance in making this event so successful!
Mary Schneider
Dear Lucinda DiNovo,
Thank you for the fantastic lunch, tour and overview of the Mill Casino and CEDCO. Your company, facility, and staff are a+!

Remember that scene in 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' where Indy gets leashed to a rock and whipped by one of Mola Ram's goons? Well even if you don't, JoBlo just uncovered an awesome (albeit really low-quality) clip of Harrison Ford getting pranked by director Steven Spielberg during one of the scene's outtakes. In a nutshell, Barbra Streisand showed up in a dominatrix outfit, Carrie Fisher tried to save him, and 'Empire Strikes Back' director Irvin Kershner didn't like it one bit. Watch the on-set hijinks that ensued ahead.
Read a partial transcript of the video below. Click over to JoBlo for more.

Dukes Clinch MAAC Championship, Beat SPC 39-7
Oct. 18, Rooney Field, Pittsburgh, Pa.
Records: Duquesne (5-2, 4-0), Saint Peter's (0-7, 0-2)
overcast cool - 49 degrees
** Victory clinches Duquesne's 5th consecutive MAAC title and 7th championship in the last nine years **
Receivers Michel Warfield and Randy Vulakovich combined for 284 yards to lead Duquesne to a 39-7 win over Saint Peter's. The victory - in addition to being DU's 28th conference win a row - clinched the 2003 MAAC championship for the Dukes. Duquesne has now won the last five league crowns and seven titles in the last nine seasons.
Warfield, who caught 8 passes for 173 yards, scored on touchdown passes of 24 and 20 yards to turn a 13-7 Duquesne lead into a 25-7 bulge mid way through the third quarter. Running back Mike Hilliard, who finished the game with 104 yards on 26 carries, added his second and third touchdowns of the game to close out the scoring. Vulakovich made a number of key grabs in finishing with 10 catches for 111 yards.
Saint Peter's scored first when Dan Holmes capped a 78-yard drive with a 2 yard run on the Peacocks' first possession. Duquesne's R.J. Romano recovered a muffed punt at the Saint Peter's 30 to set up a three-play drive that ended with a Hilliard 3-yard run to make the score 7-6.
Loebig, who finished the game 24-of-33 for 336 yards, hit Dan Jameson from 4 yards out to give the Dukes a 13-7 lead at the 11:13 mark of the second quarter. DU added another score when Loebig took the team 83 yards in 1:17 before hitting Warfield from 24 yards out with just 22 seconds left in the half. The catch was Warfield's fifth of a nine play drive.
Duquesne outgained Saint Peter's 450-to-264 on the afternoon, including a 336-to-165 edge in the air. The Dukes picked off three passes including one returned 68 yards by Javonn Bradley to set up a 5 yard run by Hilliard to make the score 32-7 late in the third quarter. Hilliard added a 4 yard run with 10:11 left to close out the scoring.
DU's Harry Carter posted a game-high 14 tackles (9 solo), including two tackles for loss. Bradley and Philip Polony accounted for two of Duquesne's three sacks on the afternoon.

Duquesne Head Coach Greg Gattuso: "Saint Peter's come out and threw a defense at us we had never seen. They weren't going to let us throw the ball to Yardon Brantley and they were not going to let Mike Hilliard run the ball. That left the other guys open. I thought Michel Warfield and Randy Vulakovich played outstanding.
"When I told our guys we had cliched the championship they responded like it was just another day at the office. I don't care where you play or at what level you play, winning five straight championships and 28 games in a row in your league is some accomplishment."
Receiver Randy Vulakovich: "We're always a team that starts a little bit slow. That's got to stop in the next couple of weeks. They played us tough in the first half. They were paying a lot of attention to Yardon [Brantley] and that opened things up for us.
"Winning the championship is gratifying. That is always our goal at the start of the season. We still have a couple of big weeks coming up."

Read an Excerpt
"If I don't come up with the money, I'm in big trouble."
Claire Hoffman had been trying to ignore her brother, Freddy, who had burst into the kitchen of her candy shop, ranting about his latest financial emergency. It was under four weeks until Christmas; she had a ton of work to do, and no time to deal with his histrionics.
But unlike usual Freddy's tone, he didn't sound cajoling and playful now. He sounded serious. Very serious.
Her hand shook, ever so slightly, but enough to sabotage the delicate lacework icing she'd been applying to a tray of tiny petits fours. She lowered the icing bag. "What are you talking about?"
Ignoring her for a moment, Freddy grabbed a cafe con leche truffleone of her specialtiesand stuffed it into his mouth.
"Freddy?" she snapped.
"I'm starving. I don't even have money to feed myself."
She didn't ask why. Freddy made a fair wage ushering at one of the theaters on Broadway, but whatever he made was never enough to keep him solvent between paychecks. Which was why she hadn't immediately panicked when he'd burst in a few minutes ago, looking for cash. She was used to slipping him a twenty she could hardly spare, knowing the money was worth avoiding the nagging.
But she suspected a twenty wasn't going to cut it this time.
"What have you done?"
He finished chewing, then looked down at his feet, scuffing them on the floor. It might have been cute when he was ten and, five years older, Claire was practically raising him, since their delicate, prima ballerina mother was so often ill. But it wasn't cute now that he was twenty-one, and a lazy, often unemployed college dropout who seemed happy to coast through life.
After he'd spent his share of their mom's life insurance policy, he'd started bumming from Claire's. Now that she had invested every penny in updating the ancient building her uncle had left her, and starting her shop, I Want Candy, she could no longer serve as Freddy's ATM. "What. Have. You. Done?"
"It shoulda been a sure thing. I mean, that race "
"Jesus, Freddy!"
A flush rose up his neck, mottling his cheeks.
"How much did you lose?"
"Well, it wasn't so much the race ."
She reached for a truffle and bit into it, then grabbed another one. She needed to busy her hands so she wouldn't strangle him, and busy her mouth so she wouldn't scream.
"See, when I realized how deep I was in, I went to leverage what I had left on last weekend's NFL games."
He snagged a petit four. She snatched it back. "How much? "
He mumbled a reply, so softly she couldn't be sure she'd heard right. Oh, God, please let me not have heard right.
"Um ten large."
"Tell me you mean ten oversize one-dollar bills."
He shook his head, looking miserable. "Ten grand."
The truffles threatened to come back up. For a moment Claire couldn't think. As if on autopilot, she reached for a nearby bottle of Grand Marnier she'd used in the truffles, twisted off the top and swallowed several mouthfuls. The liqueur burned a fiery path down her throat, snapping her out of her lethargy.
Setting the bottle down, she stretched her hands out and strode toward her brother, ready to choke him.
"Hey," he cried, shuffling backward. "What are you doing?"
"Strangling you. Your life insurance is paid up, right?"
"That's not funny."
"You think I'm joking? I am mad enough to kill you, Freddy!"
"I'm sorry," he squealed.
Her fury seeped out of her. "How could you do this?" she mumbled, collapsing onto a stool in front of the counter.
Of all people, Freddy should know better. But the fact that their gambler father had lost all his money and died of a stroke at fifty apparently hadn't taught him anything.
"I didn't mean to. Claire, you gotta help me. If I don't make good, the Rat King is gonna send the Nutcracker after me."
She gaped at her brother. "The who is going to send the what? "
"The Rat King's a bookie. The Nutcracker is his enforcer."
Torn between wanting to burst into hysterical laughter or scream, she stared at her imbecilic sibling. "The Nutcracker?'"
"Yeah. He got his name because if you don't pay, he, uh "
Claire waved a hand. "I think I can figure it out." Considering she'd often thought her brother needed to grow a pair, she wasn't sure the collector would be cracking much.
"I can't help you," she stated calmly.
Freddy's eyes rounded into saucers. "What?"
"I have barely enough to cover my expenses for the rest of the month. I'm counting on a big holiday season to make this place pay. My lines of credit are totally tapped out."
"You could rent the upstairs apartments ."
"No." The argument was a familiar one. "They're one step up from needing to be condemned."
"Come on, it's Midtown. People would pay five grand a month for the location alone. Screw the peeling paint on the walls!"
It wasn't just peeling paint. Her great-uncle Harry had left her the run-down property, but no cash. Her mother's life insurance had given her enough money to get the first-floor shop renovated, along with the apartment behind it, where Claire now lived, but nothing else. The upstairs unitstwo on each level, going up three floorswere uninhabitable. Squatters living up there had had the good sense to move out, driven away by the frigid air that poured through the cracked windows. Then there were the holes in the walls, the mildewed bathrooms and the drooping wallpaper. Not a pretty picture. Someday, when the shop was thriving, she'd have enough money to continue the renovations and make the whole building a lucrative investment. But not now.
The only way she could get any money out of this place would be if she agreed to sell it to the investor who'd been coming around a lot in the last month. Yet the idea of giving up her chance to build a future for herself made her heart clench. Especially if she had to do it to bail out her idiot brother.
Claire got so tired of taking care of him of everyone. When their mother had gotten sick, Claire had been the one to nurse her. When her father had lost his money, she'd started working to help support the family. When they were both gone and it was just her and Freddy, she'd become a mother to a teenager, when she wasn't much past her own teenage years.
She was tired. So damn tired of being the caretaker. It had been such a long time since anyone had taken care of her, she honestly didn't remember what it felt like.
"Freddy, even if I would consider renting them, I couldn't get the permits. Everything above this floor is a ruin." Seeing him about to speak again, she threw a hand up. "And no, I'm not renting under the table. Legal trouble is the last thing I need."
"So what am I supposed to do?" he asked, sounding petulant.
She bit her tongue to prevent herself from suggesting that he grow the hell up, be a man and deal with his own problems.
"What about a payment plan?" she asked. "You could promise to give him a certain amount of your paycheck every week ."
Her brother rolled his eyes. "Bookies don't finance."
"You've got no other options. You have to at least ask."
If the "Rat King" said no, then she'd go into full panic mode and start considering selling organs on the black market. She could think of a few of Freddy's that could be spared, like his useless brain.
Otherwise was she prepared to give up everything she'd worked so hard for to save her brother's bacon? Again?
Oh, God, she hoped it wouldn't come to that. She just had to pray that in this magical season of giving, the rat discovered he had a heart, and the nutcracker went on vacation.
But she wasn't counting on it. This might be the time for miracles, but Claire had stopped believing in those long ago. She'd never been the type to fantasize about some rich Prince Charming galloping in on his white steed to take care of all her problems. And she sure didn't expect one now.
"My prince, please reconsider. We can't possibly live here." Philip Nadir, crowned prince of the Kingdom of Selandria of the Dry Lands, heard the dismay in the voice of his loyal but fastidious companion, Shelby, and smiled. "Of course we can, and we shall. This will do quite well," he said as he watched his bodyguard, Phateenalso called Teenyenter, muscling a mattress through the doorway. "Perhaps we should leave that until Shelby clears away the debris on the floor?" he suggested, remembering the condition of the small sleeping chamber, which he'd seen on a tour of the building yesterday.
"Until who clears away the debris?" the man squealed.
"Are you saying I should do it?"
"Of course not, my prince. But I can't be expected to "
Quirking a brow, Philip stared at Shelby, who was almost as spoiled as Philip was accused of being, and harder to please. A cousin, Shelby had come to visit when they were children, and had never left. Most looked upon him as a servant; Philip called him friend. But he could behow did they say it?high maintenance.
"Do you want to go back to Elatyria?"
A rueful frown pulled at the other man's face. He had been adamant that he be allowed to come along on this quest Philip's last chance to find a woman he could love, who would love him for himselfbut so far he wasn't acting very happy about it.
"No, Your Highness. But surely a scullery wench."
"We're supposed to be poor, struggling students. Poor people can't afford to hire, uh, I believe the term is cleaning ladies."
Shelby huffed. Never having been to this world before, he was having difficulty adjusting, daunted by the tall buildings, the crowds, the frantic pace and the lack of subservience.
Philip, on the other hand, was having the time of his life.
Though he'd been raised in Elatyria, he was fond of Earth, a world that somehow existed, as his father's sorcerer described it, "One plane over from our reality." He had been here a few times before, but only with guards and servants.
He had never been one to complain about the weight of his responsibilities, and had been the first to appreciate the benefits that came with being the bachelor prince of one of the richest kingdoms in his world. But until now he'd never understood the joy of walking down a public thoroughfare and being jostled by strangers, or of flipping a worthless piece of paper at someone and being given something called a hot dog. Escaping his usual retinue for this quest to find his bride was giving him the chance to be completely free. And what better time than during one of the most popular holiday seasons of this world? New York was bedecked with lights and decorations, and populated by happy, smiling people. He loved it already.
Shelby toggled a button on the wall that was supposed to send light flooding out of the ceiling. "Why won't this work?"
"Hmm." Philip walked over and tried it himself. Nothing happened.
Though it was only late afternoon, the shadows of evening were drawing close. The air was chilly, so apparently the heating apparatus wasn't working. He wasn't used to cold weather, being from a dry, desertlike kingdom, but knew he could "rough it," as the locals said, for a night or so. But Shelby was another story.
"I'll go downstairs and talk to the innkeeper," he declared, wanting to confirm a few more details with that man, a Mr. Freddy Hoffman. Philip had thought Hoffman would be here today for their move-in. But he had seen neither hide nor hair of him since yesterday, when Philip had met him and paid a month's rent, plus something called "security," for both the second-floor living units, one for him, one for Shelby and Teeny.
"Do start working on the debris, won't you?" Philip said as he exited.
He walked down the dingy corridor to the back stairway. If he wasn't mistaken, Mr. Hoffman had said this stairwell led to the first-floor shop and the owner's apartment.
Moving carefully down the steps, he frowned, feeling the sag of the boards beneath his feet and hearing their noisy creaks. He reached the bottom level, coming to a long, narrow hallway, shadowy and cluttered. At the far end was a door that led outside to a back alley. In the opposite direction was the front entrance to the building. In between were two other doors, the nearest marked Private. Another, closer to the front, was marked I Want Candy: Deliveries.
From behind it he could hear music. The sound grew louder as he approached, so he knocked once, then pushed the door open.
The music was much louder in here, and the smooth-voiced female singer was purring to someone she called Santa Baby, inviting him to leave her gifts. Philip placed the reference, though he was unaccustomed to hearing seductive songs about Santa Claus, a character most thought an American invention. But who, Philip knew, actually resided in one of the icy northern kingdoms of Elatyria.
Suddenly, that sultry tone was made sultrier by the addition of another female voice. He couldn't help moving into the main part of the large kitchen, intrigued by the throaty, feminine sound. He didn't see a duo of women performing, only the one. The instrumentation, and the first voice, emerged from a small electronic box. The other singer stood in front of a tall counter that was laden with sweets, and was singing along as she worked.
Singing very well. Working very hard.
Looking utterly beautiful.
Philip was used to the perfection of princesses who would never be seen without elaborately coiffed hair or elegant, be-jeweled gowns. Who would never allow a potential suitor to behold them in a state like this. But never had he seen a woman who so immediately appealed to him on such a deep, visceral level.
Her mass of dark brown hair strained to free itself from a haphazard bun, a few tendrils brushing her high cheekbones. The face was arrestingnot perfect, he supposed, but very attractive, with soft cheeks, a pert nose, and a wide, sensuous mouth. Her eyes were deep-set, green or blue, and ringed with thick, dark lashes, and her high brow furrowed as she concentrated on a tricky bit of work she was doing on a delicacy before her.
She continued to sing, and as she finished dabbling some icing on a sweet, she added a toss of her head and a swivel of her hips in time with the beat.
The toss caught his attention, making him wonder if all that glorious hair would tumble down about her shoulders. The swivel kept his attention, for he hoped it would be repeated.
Because, oh, did the woman have swiveling hips. She was incredibly curvaceous. The smock she wore over her simple clothing emphasized the smallness of her waist compared to the curve of her hips and backside. Not to mention the fullness of her breasts, the tops of which peeked above the apron.
She was also tallvery tall, compared to most women in his worldand if they were to stand facing each other, their noses would almost touch. Other parts would line up equally well. Some of those other parts reacted to that thought, until his newly purchased "Jean" pantswho Jean was and why men's pants were named after her, he did not knowbegan to tighten.
The stranger crooned even louder, and Philip couldn't help thinking about what he'd like to slip her under her tree. Before he could clear his throat to warn her of his presence, she turned to retrieve something, and saw him standing there watching her.

U.S. policymakers need to spend more time examining and understanding what exactly is happening in Beijing and what the Chinese leadership is facing at home.
As China's citizens have grown more prosperous, they are no longer content with just economic growth, and instead are clamoring for a higher standard of living across the board.
With its economy beginning to slow, Chinese leaders must install measures that promote innovation and high-tech industry growth.
The Chinese Communist Party sends a strong message on Bo Xilai, signaling that consensus has been reached in the nick of time before the once-a-decade changing of the guard takes place later this year.

Son Chantee twice plunged a 30-centimetre (12-inch) kitchen knife into Mark Jones, 42, after his daughter Saichai pleaded for his help at the house in Pakchong, 75 miles (120 kilometres) north-east of Bangkok.
Southwark Coroner's Court was told that Jones and his partner, who had a one-year-old son together, were "extremely happy" until her father moved into the house and tensions developed between the two men.
Late last March, Jones returned home from a heavy drinking session and made a loud noise expressing dissatisfaction, according to a statement from Son Chantee read out in court.
When Saichai Chantee walked out of the house, Jones followed her, put his hands around her throat and said: "I'm going to kill you," the court was told.
Son Chantee said he rushed to help his daughter after she cried: "Dad, I cannot breathe any more" but could not see where he was thrusting the knife, which pierced Jones's back, because it was dark.
He claims he did not want to kill Jones, only to free his daughter.
Coroner John Sampson recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.
Son Chantee is facing a murder trial in Thailand.

KEAAU, Hawaii - Michael Teves says he isn't very good under pressure. He proved himself wrong Friday.
The King Kekaulike High School senior cleared 14 feet to win the boys pole vault title at the Island Movers Track and Field Championships at Keaau High School Stadium.
"At practice I was doing OK, but usually at the meets I tense up and I panic, but tonight all of a sudden it just clicked and I got it," Teves said.

MICHAEL TEVES, 'Tonight all of a sudden it just clicked and I got it.'
He added, "Then the adrenaline started going and the crowd was amazing, so after a while I started to feel comfortable and confident on my jumping."
Maui athletes swept the top three spots. Kihei Charter's Lucas Zarro matched Teves at 14-0, but had more attempts.
Baldwin's Tyler Feiteira, the Maui Interscholastic League champion, was third at 13-6.
Teves had the top height in the state this year, 14-3 at the Punahou Relays last month. Still, he didn't imagine he'd end up on top.
"I really didn't think I would win the state title, but it was good to finally do it," Teves said. "It was a good season, so I had to finish it hard. I worked so hard this season and it felt good winning. It's like all the hard work paid off."
Teves and Zarro were in familiar territory competing against each other on Friday. Both jumped 13-6 at last year's state meet, with Zarro finishing with less jumps to take fifth place.
"We're always kind of close to each other with jumping," Teves said of the friendly competition with Zarro. "It was just really fun, and me and him were having a good time and just having fun tonight. We're both from Maui, and so we just pushed each other, and I'm happy we could both do it."
Baldwin's Pasoni Tasini had the top preliminary throw in the discus, 171-4, and shot put, 54-1.
Nicola Perez-Garreaud of Maui High finished first in boys 3,000-meter qualifying with a time of 9 minutes, 22.6 seconds, while Dakota Grossman of Seabury Hall led the girls 3,000 with 11:19.9.
In Friday's other final, the girls high jump, the MIL's three entrants - St. Anthony's Jill Capistran, Maui High's Jordyn Vega and Kamehameha Maui's Raven Poepoe - did not clear a height.
The other event finals are today.

Hi everyone,
I'm in need reading a DC600 tape that was written by a HP9144
under HP-UX (probably a version 7...quite ancient).
This is a one time thing only, so it doesn't make sense to buy
such a beast.
Does anybody have the possbility to read that tape and send me
the contents in any form, preferably sitting in Austria or Germany?
Thx a lot,
