Report: Shaun Rogers asks out of Cleveland
According to NFL.comâs Adam Schefter, Shaun Rogers has asked the Browns not to pick up the $6 million bonus that is due to him next month because heâd rather be released.
Rogers has grown so disenchanted with the situation in Cleveland that he has asked the Browns not to pick up the $6 million option-bonus payment due to him next month, a source close to the defensive tackle said. Rogers would rather be released after one season with the Browns, despite still being owed another $15 million in guaranteed money.
Some of Rogers' feelings stem back to two offseason incidents in which he believes Mangini disrespected him. The first time, Mangini walked into the Browns' training room and failed to say hello to Rogers. The next time, at a public charity function in which both men were in the green room, neither said hello to the other, and Mangini later said he didn't know Rogers was there.
The Browns believe that, once Rogers hears out Mangini, the same will occur. The situation will be soothed over, hard feelings will dissipate and Cleveland will have a happy defensive tackle.
Cutting Rogers would be difficult to do financially. If the Browns release Rogers, they would have to count more than $9.7 million against their salary cap.
This situation will probably blow over once the two decide to sit down and talk but either way, this isnât a good start for Mangini. Not that a coach has to walk around and kiss everybodyâs ass on the first day, but players are big on the ârespect factorâ and obviously Rogers feels that he has been disrespected twice already by Mangini.

A man and woman have been arrested in connection with the killing of a Winter Garden father, officers said Friday night.
Jadarion Jackson, 20, and Latara Conyers, 33, were taken into custody and charged in the slaying.
Sylvester Wright was found dead by his young daughter in his home on Horizon Street.
"Now my daughter has to go through this and find her daddy in the house lying there dead," the child's mother, Elisha Gilbert, said.
Investigators said Wright died of a single gunshot wound.
Valuable items were also stolen from his home.
"When I got in there his whole room was tore up like somebody was going in there trying to rob him and get some money," Gilbert said.
The two suspects are charged with first-degree murder.
Inside the Orange County Jail on Saturday, a judge read the charges to Conyers and Jackson, appointed the public defender to represent both of them, and maintained their no bond status.

Daily Journal
OXFORD – Aldermen on Tuesday adopted changes to the taxi ordinance aimed at increasing safety and eliminating rogue taxis.
The ordinance will require that video cameras continuously record the interior of licensed taxis for the safety of both drivers and passengers. (The recorded images may not be distributed, published or sold.)
Taxis must be clean and in safe working order, free of any body damage that could injure a person or damage clothing. Drivers may not use a mobile device while in motion, and no one may smoke in a taxi.
In an effort to reduce the number of unlicensed out-of-town taxis that solicit business in Oxford, the law will require taxis to display a city-issued medallion on their left and right front doors so police can easily identify rogue vehicles.
One proposal in the ordinance changes was eliminated Tuesday. On motion by Alderman John Morgan, a ban on passengers' sitting in the front seat of taxis was eliminated. That requirement had generated pushback among taxi drivers and owners, on grounds that severely inebriated passengers or those subject to carsickness need to be in front and that a single passenger behind a driver poses more of a robbery or other security-related risk.
Morgan said, "I would like to thank Jay Hughes for all the time and effort he put" into the ordinance change."
Alderman Hughes, an attorney, had aided in the study of other cities' ordinances. Based on most of those, he initially pushed for the front-seat restriction.
"I spoke to a number of people [and] I think that what motivated this concern was concern for the safety of the driver," Hughes said. "Yielding to the general consensus of everything I've heard … and a democratic process that I think has worked extremely well, I second Alderman Morgan's amendment."
Rooftop restrictions
Also on Tuesday, the Board of Aldermen readopted a ban on commercial use of rooftops more than 50 years old, which effectively prohibits rooftop dining or bar areas in the downtown area.
Even for newer buildings, several restrictions would apply, including barriers six feet inside the roof perimeter.
"The roofs of the older buildings around the square were designed for shelter not as support for a live load on the second or third story for assembly," City Planner Andrea Correll wrote to the mayor and aldermen. "These older structures can only support so much without a complete remodel. Many of these buildings have common walls consisting of decaying brick and mortar. Therefore, it also will affect adjoining structures during retrofit and renovation. There are issues with life safety, such as exiting the rooftop safely and fire hazards to neighboring properties."
The ordinance had been in effect in the past but was unintentionally left out of an updated code of ordinances.
"The only reason we're here is because it was dropped out," said Alderman Janice Antonow. "It was there for a reason, and we need to remember that when we adopt it for a second time."

OAKLAND – For three innings Thursday, Game 5 of this American League Division Series felt like a continuation of Game 2, with two hard-throwing right-handers trading zeroes and a tense crowd hanging on every pitch.
Then Sonny Gray, the A's precocious rookie, blinked first, allowing a two-run homer to Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera with one out in the fourth. And after that, it began to resemble more distant, less pleasant memories for the A's.
The Tigers' Justin Verlander, who nearly a year ago to the day in the same park threw a four-hit shutout in Game 5 of the 2012 A.L. Division Series, dropped the curtain on the A's season again. This time, Verlander allowed two hits over eight scoreless innings to pitch the Tigers into the A.L. Championship Series for the third consecutive year, while the A's saw their season end with a 3-0 loss at O.co Coliseum.
"We're disappointed," first baseman Brandon Moss said as the A's exchanged hugs and handshakes and packed boxes in the clubhouse. "Last year, we were disappointed we didn't move on, but at the same time, we were thankful for the season we'd had and realized how good we were.
"This year, it's disappointing. We believed and we still believe we were just as good if not a better team. We just got shut down by an unbelievable pitcher."
It was a quiet finish to a series the A's were within nine outs of winning in Game 4, when they held a one-run lead going into the seventh inning only to see the Tigers pull out an 8-6 win. It ended a season in which the A's won 96 regular-season games, second-most in the American League, following their surprise run to the 2012 postseason with a year that seemed to indicate that was no fluke.
Still, they could not reverse their recent fortunes in the postseason. The A's have lost nine of their last 10 playoff series dating to the 1990 World Series, and 12 of their last 13 potential clinchers. They have also lost six consecutive winner-take-all games in the playoffs, all in the ALDS in the last 14 seasons.
Two have come at the hand of Verlander, who has not allowed a run to Oakland in 30 consecutive postseason innings dating to Game 1 of last year's ALDS – a record against the A's. In four starts over the past two division series, Verlander's line reads: 31 innings, 13 hits, one run, seven walks and 43 strikeouts.
"Tonight was the best that I've seen him," A's third baseman Josh Donaldson said. "He was just throwing everything for strikes. The only time you're going to get to him is if he's getting himself in trouble, and he didn't do that."
For the first six innings, Verlander did not allow a hit. The A's got their first baserunner on a one-out walk to Josh Reddick in the sixth, and Yoenis Cespedes broke up Verlander's no-hit bid in the seventh with a two-out single. Reddick had the only other hit against Verlander, a two-out single in the eighth.
"He was being him," catcher Stephen Vogt said. "Mixing his pitches, locating his fastball up, down, never really coming over the middle of the plate. He stepped up and threw a great game."
The Tigers turned to closer Joaquin Benoit in the ninth, with Verlander at 111 pitches and – he later said – "running on fumes." After allowing a two-out double to Jed Lowrie and hitting Cespedes to bring the tying run to the plate, Benoit retired Seth Smith on a fly ball to shallow right that Torii Hunter secured, bringing the Tigers out of their dugout to a mob on the infield.
It was Hunter who recorded the Tigers' first hit off Gray in the fourth, a single up the middle with one out. Gray then left a 1-0 fastball up and over the plate to Cabrera, who hit it over the left-field wall in a turn that, even early on, seemed momentous. Gray said he was trying to come inside with the fastball and left it up.
After blanking the Tigers for eight innings in Game 2, Gray on Thursday departed two batters into the sixth, having thrown 98 pitches and issuing four walks. Gray said he battled control issues with the fastball, though manager Bob Melvin said Gray was a victim of circumstance.
"He pitched fine," Melvin said. "When you don't score a run and only get a couple of hits or whatever it was, you know, you have to be perfect."
At the time Gray exited, Verlander still was. He finished with 10 strikeouts, one fewer than in his shutout last year. His last came on his final hitter – Vogt, the A's walk-off hero in Game 2, who went down swinging at a curveball in the dirt.
The A's struck out 57 times in the series, eclipsing the 50 from last year's ALDS that, at the time, established an Oakland-era record.
Ultimately, it was Benoit whom the Tigers rushed to meet in the infield. But there was no mistaking who was responsible for sending the A's into the offseason. For the second year in a row, it was Verlander.

Representative Mike Chenault will return for his third term as House Speaker when the 2013 Alaska Legislature convenes in January.
House Republicans organized Thursday, two days after the general election.
Representative Lance Pruitt of Anchorage is majority leader, Craig Johnson of Anchorage retains chairmanship of House Rules, and Kodiak's Alan Austerman and Mat-Su's Bill Stoltze are co-chairs of the House Finance Committee.
Juneau Representative Cathy Munoz says she likes the geographic make-up of House leadership. However, for the moment she is the only member of the House Finance Committee from Southeast Alaska.
"Finance committee members are just assigned to the finance committee, because each of the majority members then manages one or more of the state departmental budgets. So it's a lot of work," Munoz says. "I've put in a request for the Department of Administration, since that's such a big department in Juneau and so important to so many issues that affect Juneau and our region."
House leaders have promised Haines Republican Bill Thomas a Finance Committee seat, if he beats Sitka Democrat Jonathon Kreiss-Tomkins, who is current 43 votes ahead in the House District 34 race.
Meanwhile, Munoz hopes her position on Finance allows her to secure financing for a variety of regional projects.
"I'll be looking out for not only Juneau but all of the communities in Southeast that have energy projects before the Finance Committee," she says. "Education funding is a priority, and making sure that infrastructure needs in the capital are taken care of, you know, we have ongoing needs in the State Capitol building."
Munoz also says she'll focus on continued funding for a new State Library, Archives and Museums facility set to break ground in Juneau soon. She'd also like a new state office building, though she admits that's more of a long term goal.
Twenty-five Republicans and 15 Democrats were elected to the House. Rural Alaska Democrats Neal Foster, Bryce Edgmon, Bob Herron and Ben Nageak have joined the Republican majority.
Juneau's other Representative, Beth Kerttula was named Minority Leader late Friday. It's a post she's held since 2007.
Kerttula's House District 32 now includes Petersburg, Skagway, Gustavus and Tenakee Springs thanks to the state's once a decade redistricting process. Previously, her district encompassed just downtown Juneau and Douglas Island.
Anchorage Rep. Chris Tuck will be the House Democratic Whip, and Rep. Max Gruenberg, also of Anchorage, is House Democratic Floor Leader.
House Democrats also named Les Gara, of Anchorage, and David Guttenberg and Scott Kawasaki, both of Fairbanks, to the House Finance Committee. The 11-member minority is guaranteed three finance seats, but if Democrats' numbers drop to ten, the caucus would only have two.
"Part of organization is figuring out where the numbers are, how many seats you have and then planning for it," she says. "We're very optimistic that we hold this or go up.
Kerttula says other minority committee assignments will be announced after absentee and question ballots are counted. Two races are two close to call: Jonathon Kreiss-Tomkins of Sitka is just 43 votes ahead of Republican Rep. Bill Thomas of Haines. Pete Peterson of Anchorage is 97 votes behind Republican Lance Pruitt.

Klezmer Company Orchestra, Conducted by Aaron Kula, to Present "Beyond The Tribes" at FAU's Performing Arts Auditorium
Concert Celebrates Musical Fusion of Exotic Melodies from Around the World, Featuring New Orchestrations and 40 Performers, Including New York City Vocalist Shira Lissek
BOCA RATON, FL (February 6, 2007) – The innovative, critically-acclaimed Klezmer Company Orchestra (KCO) will present the premiere production of "Beyond the Tribes," a musical fusion of exotic melodies from 14 countries, on Sunday, March 4, at 3 p.m., at Florida Atlantic University's Carole and Barry Kaye Performing Arts Auditorium, in the University Center, on the Boca Raton campus, 777 Glades Road.
During this grand production featuring 40 performers and guest vocalist Shira Lissek, Aaron Kula, KCO's conductor and director of music collections at FAU Libraries, will introduce arrangements and orchestrations of songs from the Mediterranean, Middle East, Latin America, Europe, Russia and America that blend jazz and classical musical traditions.
The audience can expect some of Kula's new orchestrations, updated arrangements and original compositions, including "Yiddishe Polonaise," "Glezele L, Chaim," "JewOrleans March," and "Venezuelan Calypso." Kula will also conduct the premiere of his composition titled "Voices," written in collaboration with his brother Rabbi Irwin Kula, a noted author and TV personality. The text of selected cell phone calls from 9-11 victims will be chanted by Rabbi Kula and Lissek, using biblical melodies associated with the Book of Lamentations describing the destruction of the ancient temple in Jerusalem. The concert also includes compositions by the Jewish composers Bernstein, Ellstein and Rumshinsky.
"Jewish music embraces both tradition and evolution. I am declassifying and deconstructing 'Klezmer' music as a narrow genre,'' Kula said. "The concert is about fusing traditions of various cultures and various music styles, and blending them together to create something inherently new and accessible for today's multi-cultural audiences."
KCO, the professional ensemble-in-residence at FAU Libraries, has been on the move, earning standing ovations at the opening of Carnival Center's Knight Concert Hall, and at the Jackie Gleason Theater and Eissey Campus Theatre for performances of "Salsa, Strings and Swing."
The ensemble defies classification with its high-energy performances and eclectic programming of traditional and non-traditional music. It features nine core soloists, a classical string section made up of premier musicians from regional orchestras and the 20-member Judaica Choral Society.
Kula, who founded KCO in 1997, said the real star of each production is the music itself. Since its inception, KCO has successfully taken music in the Libraries' collections 'from shelf to stage.'
"Preservation and performance are codependent activities and both are necessary for the survival of music in any world class collection,'' Kula said. "As an artist, it is my responsibility to perform, to teach, to promote and to inspire people through music — which by nature is not a stagnant art form."
Dr. William Miller, director of FAU Libraries, said Kula is constantly breaking ground with the KCO and the Libraries' collections. "Audiences who attend these performances every year have had the chance to see the genre expand before their eyes with each successive concert," Miller said. " Aaron Kula is doing things with this music that no one else in the country has even thought of doing, and we in South Florida are fortunate to be here and witness his evolution as a concert artist."
"Beyond the Tribes" will also feature the return of New York opera singer, Shira Lissek, a versatile young soprano who is at home on operatic, music and concert stages. She will sing selections in English, Hebrew, Ladino and Yiddish.
Like classical orchestras and jazz ensembles, KCO features core soloists with section musicians and varies its orchestra personnel depending on the concert's repertoire. The popular ensemble has performed before thousands at sold-out concerts and has received rave reviews for its unique style and innovative arrangements. KCO's core ensemble of distinguished musicians has accomplished backgrounds in classical, jazz and pop music, electric and acoustic violin, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, flügelhorn, trombone, bass, drums, percussion, piano and accordion.
Kula, who joined the FAU faculty in 1997 and became director of music collections in 2003, plays a dual role as conductor and accordionist ? audiences find this unusual and visually stimulating. His activities include research, archiving, lecturing, composing and performing. He is also on the faculty at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he has conducted orchestras since 1986.
Other ensemble members are Randi Fishenfeld, violin; Stas Pomerantz, clarinet; Tom Jaworski, saxophone; Chaim Rubinov, trumpet and flügelhorn ; David Levitan, trombone; Jacqueline De Los Santos, double bass and guitar; Zack Eldridge, drums; and Teresa Flores, percussion. Their credits include Bruce Springsteen, B.B. King, Barbara Streisand, Clarence Clemons, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, the Bee Gees, Dionne Warrick, Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, Arturo Sandoval, Peabo Bryson, Quincy Jones, Nestor Torres, Tito Puente, Jr., David Sanchez, Melton Mustafa, Miguel Cruz, Andrea Bocelli, The Moody Blues, Yo-Yo Ma, Tony Bennett, Randy Brecker, Burt Bacharach and Aaron Neville.
Proceeds from the concert will benefit the FAU Libraries' Music Collections. Concert tickets are $25, $36 and $45, with $60 premier seating. Early reservations are recommended. For tickets, call 800-564-9539 or visit www.fauevents.com. For information on KCO, visit www.klezmercompany.com.

The Sound of Music
This is one of those movies that's advertised, be it on the video or DVD box, as a film that's "fun for the whole family." Did anybody notice this thing is three hours long? "The Sound of Music" is like "Shoah" for eight-year-olds. They grow up suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and have to get counseling to rid themselves of the urge to sing. You're telling me that in this world of ADD and MTV, a modern child could survive more than thirty minutes of this sappy drivel?
Frankly, I thought Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) had the whole discipline thing exactly right before the meddling Maria (Julie Andrews) showed up. The whistle and the uniforms worked pretty well. Those kids did what they were told. Oh, they weren't really loved, you say? Boo-fucking-hoo. Like there aren't bigger problems in the world. He loved them. It was just in a disciplined way. After Maria shows up to be their governess and teach everyone how to love again, they're all singing at every inopportune moment imaginable and there's nothing I hate worse than people singing for no damn reason.
This movie actually has some sick and twisted stuff in it. First of all, Julie Andrews makes a pretty tasty nun. That's just not right. They try to make you think she's got a hankerin' to get out and explore the world, but we all know what she's got a hankerin' for, which is why she falls in love with the first guy she sees. After she teaches the Captain how to emote properly, the Captain starts singing a song called "Anal Vice." I suppose he thinks that scoring a nun isn't really a sin as long as she remains a "technical virgin" -- that's the Captain for you, always probing the loopholes.
In the end, as we all know, the Von Trapps manage to penetrate the border and get out of Austria. Am I really supposed to care that a few super-rich Austrians escape the Nazis because they can carry a tune? And what happened to all those little Von Trapplets, anyway? Let's take a look:
* Liesl (Charmian Carr) - After she turned 18 in Switzerland, sneaked back into Austria to be with her Nazi boyfriend. Eventually wrote a memoir in which she referred to the gas chambers as "misunderstood."
* Rolf (Daniel Truhitte) - married wealthy heiress who suffered a sudden aneurysm. Poor Rolf accused of murder and forced to hire Alan Dershowitz to defend him. Found guilty and executed in one of Dershowitz's lesser-known cases.
* Louisa (Heather Menzies) - Used singing talents to get job with a traveling European circus. Fired for being too freakish.
* Friedrich (Nicholas Hammond) - Sued parents for $100 million over rights to "My Favorite Things." Lost. Maria's last words to him were, "You're not my son."
* Kurt (Duane Chase) - Male escort.
* Brigitta (Angela Cartwright) - Moved to America and married Little Joe.
* Marta (Debbie Turner) - Still lives at home.
* Gretl (Kym Karath) - Runs meth lab in her trailer.

This excellent and instructive brochure is divided into three main sections: (1) the cardiac neuroses, consisting of five lectures, (2) cardiovascular therapy, comprising six contributions and (3) miscellaneous, with four discussions by eminent physicians on cardiovascular anatomy, endocarditis and heart failure, pulmonary insufficiency and its reciprocal relationship to the vascular system and the rôle of the kidney in the circulation.
The reviewer has read carefully and with pleasure and interest the fifteen lectures, and aside from those in which microscopic and other means of demonstration were utilized in explaining the data, it would indeed be difficult to decide whether one was more complete or instructive than another.
The enthusiasm of Professor Groedel for the therapeutic effects of carbon dioxide baths in quite an imposing series of cardiac and vascular diseases, including hypertension and hypertrophy, is perhaps rather surprising, but one must remember that he is connected with Bad Nauheim.

text: 10 things you need to know about going on a cruise TheTravelHack December 4, 2013 Cruising, Travel Tips11 Comments TweetSumoMeTweetWhen I boarded the Celebrity Cruise ship I had no idea what to expect. It was my first time cruising as an adult and I was travelling in a completely new way. I had no idea what to pack or what I'd be doing in my spare time so this post is for anyone going on a cruise or wondering if a cruise is for them.It's likely you'll get hooked on cruisingI spoke to countless people on my cruise and every single one of them had been on a cruise before. "Cruising is addictive," they'd tell me enthusiastically and most seemed to have cruised at least 5-6 times before.I met a lot of North Americans onboard and for most of them it was a great way to see as much of Europe as possible in the short amount of time they had.It can be exhaustingA cruise can be as active or relaxing as you choose but if you want to make the most out of your trip then be prepared for long days and lots of sight-seeing. Most cruises dock in a new place each day – that's the main reason most people go on a cruise in the first place to see as much as possible– so it's likely you'll want to get off the ship and explore.There will be excursions and tours provided by the cruise company and they'll also offer transfers to the nearest major towns or cities. The excursions can be great because you get a local guide who can show you all the main attractions in the limited time you have. Bear in mind that a daily tour would be very tiring so pick your tour days wisely and use your other days to meander at a slower pace.Very few people travel alone on a cruiseAs this was technically 'work' I was travelling alone on the cruise, something I found to raise a lot of curiosity and surprise. I was told on numerous occasions that people rarely travel alone on a cruise and among the couples there were lots of groups of friends travelling together.Having said this, cruising is very sociable and I only once had dinner alone. People are friendly and keen to talk about their previous cruises and share their experiences so if you are travelling alone, you'll soon make friends.There are endless possibilities for evening entertainmentThink you're going to get bored stuck on the same ship for a few weeks? Think again. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes, each with a different style and theme and the evening entertainment is as diverse as the customers. I know it's a cliché but there's something for everyone whether you want a jazz club, a night club, comedy, theatre, a movie or a quiet drink on the deck. You could even curl up in the library with a good book, a cup of tea and a packet of fresh cookies.It's all too easy to gain weight during a cruiseSpeaking of fresh cookies, the food on a cruise is amazing and there is plenty of it. As with any all-inclusive holiday, it's hard to say no when you feel like you've already paid for it but after a few weeks you're going to feel the pinch.There area lot of health and fitness activities availableIf you're like me and can't say no to dessert (or those fresh cookies – sorry to keep going on about them but they were really good!) then you may be interested in all the health and fitness options.Most cruises will have a well-equipped gym, plenty of gym classes, a running track, spa treatments and multiple swimming pools. Combine that with all the walking you'll be doing on your day tours and in theory you should go home as fit as a fiddle. In theory anyway…It can be great value for moneyCruising is not a cheap holiday. I'm sure you knew that already but when you compare it to a similar holiday that would enable you to visit as many counties then you'll have to agree that it's undeniably good value.You're paying for the convenience of having a room you never need to leave with bags you never need to re-pack and also having as much relaxation time as you please.Waking up in a new country each morning was my favourite things about cruisingNot everyone on a cruise is oldYes, that's right, cruise ships aren't full of pensioners. Admittedly, I was one of the youngest people onboard but most people were around the 55 mark and I saw a lot of younger couples too. Most people seemed to be the type that loved to travel and see new places but could afford to do it in luxury and without all the faff of trains, buses and planes.A couple of my girlfriends went on a cruise this summer and they all say it was the best holiday they've ever had. It was meant to be a family holiday but they tagged along with my friend's parents and had a great time.It can feel like you're in a busy city onboardThis one came as a shock to me when I discovered I could walk around the ship each night and discover something new. There were new bars and clubs, live music, hidden booths, a library, an art gallery and designer shops. These all work in the same way as anything in a city. You need to make reservations in restaurants and book appointments for spa treatments.Making time lapse videos as we leave the portYou will need some formal clothesEvery single time I go away I pack something formal. You know, that 'just in case' outfit, the killer heels that look gorgeous but I can barely walk 10 meters in or the LBD that goes with everything. I've been packing these items for the past 10 years and never, ever wear them. And the one time I don't pack them, guess what happens. Yep, I needed them.It shouldn't have come as a surprise that Saturday nights are usually formal nights on cruise ships. Not everyone goes all out but you wouldn't seem out of place in a floor length dress or a tux. And the best thing about being on a cruise is that you don't need to walk too far so you can pack the killer heels!Never, ever, call it a 'boat'And finally, as an 11th bonus, I thought I'd leave you with a little tip.It's a ship, not a boat. I learnt this lesson the hard way when I dropped 'boat' into a polite dinner conversation and the entire table looked at me like I'd said a particularly nasty swear word. Oops.[posts_carousel category="cruising" items="5″]11 Responses Sophie December 4, 2013 Love this post, you had me laughing 🙂 I love the idea of a cruise, but get seasick! NightmareSophie http://what-sophie-said.blogspot.co.uk/ xxx Reply TheTravelHack December 5, 2013 I usually get seasick too so I was a little worried. It was the first thing I asked about when I got onboard and I was given some seasickness tablets (they give them out in the first aid tent) but I didn't need them. On the second night I didn't even notice when we started moving because you barely feel it. If you're really, really bad then you might feel it when you're in the bathroom but that will be it. Reply Beth December 5, 2013 The food is one of the best parts of any cruise! Maybe I should look into a short cruise when I'm in Europe… Reply TheTravelHack December 5, 2013 I've been told that a cruise is a great way to see the more expensive parts of Europe like Russia and Norway. I met an Australian couple in Iceland who were travelling around Europe for a year and they said that was the best value way to travel. I'm very tempted! Reply Ship Mate Cruise App December 5, 2013 Great article! I just got back from a seven-day trip on the Sapphire Princess. One little "cruise hack" we did… vow to never take the elevator. We took the stairs all week and must have done 50 stories (up and down) per day. Celebrity is on my "to do" list – great pics! Reply TheTravelHack December 5, 2013 That is such a good cruise hack and a great idea. You do spend a lot of time walking up and down stairs on a cruise! Reply A photo journey through Bologna | The Travel Hack December 6, 2013 […] I was in Bologna I did the unthinkable and left my tour group. Like I said in my post '10 things you need to know about cruising', it can be pretty exhausting.

Reply pia March 19, 2015 Hi! Is it true that you will get used to the gentle waves of the sea, that when you finally go home, you will need a day or two to stop swaying(from the subtle swaying of the ship)? Reply TheTravelHack March 20, 2015 Yes, you can feel a bit wobbly when you get off the boat. You usually feel fine again after one night's sleep. I actually felt it more when I got off than when I got on. Reply Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website

Thought Wilson Ramos was a good sleeper? Thought Jose Reyes was good value in the fourth round?
Do you ever get tired of being wrong?
FOR FANTASY SOURCE MEMBERS: Hitter Rankings | Roto Rater | Trade Machine
Ramos reportedly broke his left hand in Monday's opener, though manager Matt Williams said initial X-rays were negative. Either way, it seems likely that he'll miss some time. (Update: Ramos will miss the next 4-8 weeks after undergoing hamate bone surgery on his left hand, according to the Washington Post.)
It's unclear at this point how Ramos hurt the hand, but it really doesn't matter for fantasy owners. All that matters is a sleeper at a thin position -- who was batting cleanup for a solid offense -- is out for the forseeable future. Jose Lobaton will take over behind the plate for the Nats, but given his .228/.311/.343 career line, there isn't likely to be a rush to pick him up in fantasy leagues.
Instead, owners counting on Ramos should look to waiver-wire options like Carlos Ruiz, Miguel Montero, Alex Avila, and Welington Castillo. Obviously, it depends how deep your league is and how long Ramos will be out, but it's better to be proactive and have a backup catcher in hand (no pun intended). If Ramos avoided serious injury, consider yourself fortunate.
Reyes already injured
Get ready to hear this refrain over the next couple weeks: Reyes rushed back for opening day.
The Blue Jays star shortstop, who had been nursing a strained left hamstring, exited Toronto's game in the first inning after aggravating the injury. The play in question was the always-dangerous ... popout to center field. Obviously, it's unclear just how serious the injury is, but given the circumstances, this has 15-day DL written all over it.
Reyes played two games at the end of spring training, struggling in both. Nonethless, the mere fact he started on opening day seemed to suggest he was ready for action. Maybe this injury is just a bad break (not literally), but the Blue Jays will proceed with caution this early in the year -- something they probably should have been doing already. Ryan Goins replaced Reyes and will likely remain in the lineup for as long as Reyes is out.
Goins showed very little in the minors (.273/.330/.376), so even on Toronto's high-powered offense, he doesn't figure to offer much fantasy help. It's tough to replace Reyes' speed -- at least, what most fantasy owners were counting on in regards to Reyes' speed -- but if Dee Gordon, Jonathan Villar or Alcides Escobar ae on the waiver wire in your leagues, they're your best bets. Otherwise, just go for the best available players, with Erick Aybar, Chris Owings and Zack Cozart standing out as boring but passable options.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Raise your hand if you were crazy enough to bet against Floyd Mayweather in last night's Mayweather vs Cotto fight? In 12 rounds Mayweather beat Cotto in a unanimous decision leaving Money Mayweather as the undefeated champ in 43-0. I must admit though, Cotto definitely put up a great fight. If Mayweather wins 5 more he'll be the only living undefeated boxing champ. He's definitely on track to make history. Here's to you Money Team....but can we talk about these bedroom pics though?
I wonder how 50 feels about Justin Bieber joining the Money Team? I guess someone had to replace Ray J.
Views: 1608
My boo looking real fruity in that first pic (weeps)...and why is his shirt all crumpled up, like he had it pulled over his head for a few...where is mayweather OTHER boo.
OAN: I need for him to beat Pacquaio and THEN I can see he this and that...yeah he wins, but he's fighting garbage
i meant say he this and that....
UMMMM break me off a lil of that so I can pay off school & throw a couple things in the bag ;)
does anyone have tea on Shantell (MRS) Jackson..Maywather's "fiance"
I wonder if they shared that room.
JB took Justin Timberlake's spot as the token white dude.
I just can't so scrolling up to the top pic, lol
I agree with Ms. U can. Fight Pacquaio
I love FLoyd Mayweather & his arrogant ass..
IMO Justin Bieber looked groupie and too excited standing next to Mayweather.

Following news reports of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) plans to launch a 30-day series of raids in May and June targeted at Central American children and mothers, Services, Immigrant Rights, and Education Network (SIREN) condemned any operation that considers refugee children and families, and asylum applicants as immigration enforcement priorities. SIREN's Executive Director Maricela Gutiérrez issued the following statement in response.
In honor of Women's History month SIREN is excited to honor a fierce immigrant rights advocate whose continuous activism have made it possible for California to make major strides in the immigrant rights movement and set an example for what is possible across the nation. After over a decade of working alongside immigrant community leaders, advocates, and partners, Reshma Shamasunder stepped down from her position as Executive Director of the California Immigrant Policy Center at the end of 2015.

Larry Walker, who missed 2 1/2 months of the 1996 season with a broken left collarbone, separated his right shoulder during a weekend fishing trip near Vancouver, British Columbia, Colorado Rockies officials said yesterday.
Walker, a Vancouver native, returned to Denver for an examination. It is unknown whether he will need surgery, but he is expected to be ready by spring training in February, the Rockies said.
The Rockies did not say how Walker separated the shoulder.
Walker, 29, broke his collarbone when he crashed into the centerfield wall trying to track down a fly ball against the Atlanta Braves on June 9. He returned more than two months later, but played only sporadically because of recurring muscle spasms in his left shoulder.

Roman Vinyl Trellis
The Roman Trellis will make a statement in your garden. Because it's crafted from premium weather-resistant vinyl, your trellis can handle healthy plant growth without breaking the structure. And forget about peeling your vines away to paint or stain, because this trellis is maintenance free. Wood will rot away, and wrought iron will rust and burn plants when the sun shines down on the black metal. Vinyl is strong and durable, so it can cultivate healthy plant growth. We manufacture our products to create the look of wood without the maintenance. An occasional rinse with a garden hose will keep your trellis looking great. This product comes with a 20 year manufacturer's warranty against yellowing, warping, cracking, and rotting. For installation, sink the 12" extended post inserts into the ground. The trellis can also be a freestanding structure or privacy screen. You can also mount it into the Barcelona Planter Box (sold separately). Our detailed instructions give you all the information you need.

The term carries a doomsday tone. And Thursday's vote by the Democratic Senate to impose the "nuclear option" as a way around Republican blocking of judicial nominees is another sad sign of mutually assured bipartisanship destruction in Washington.
Beyond the complexities of Senate rules, and the debates over what is and isn't constitutional, lies a blatantly self-serving shift in judgment.
Thursday's legislative power grab erased the ability of the minority party — at this point, the GOP — to threaten a filibuster on court appointments that didn't get 60 affirmative votes. Now only a simple majority will be needed.
The margin to make that fundamental change also required just a simple majority — 52-48. Three Democrats (Michigan's Carl Levin, West Virginia's Joe Manchin, Arkansas' Mark Pryor) joined all 45 Republicans voting against it.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., offered this shaky justification: "The gridlock has consequences. It's not only bad for President Obama, bad for this body, the United States Senate, it's bad for our country."
President Obama predictably hailed the outcome, arguing of the GOP's judicial-nominee approach: "This isn't obstruction on substance, on qualifications. It's just to gum up the works."
But in 2005, when Republicans held the Senate majority, then-Sen. Obama defended the filibuster option, telling the National Press Club: "You know, the Founders designed this system, as frustrating it is, to make sure that there's a broad consensus before the country moves forward,"
Also in 2005, then-Minority Leader Reid decried GOP threats to go nuclear to break Democrats' extended delays of court appointments from President George W. Bush. Sen. Reid warned on the Senate floor: "Violating 217 years of standard procedure in the Senate, changing the rules by breaking the rules, is about as far as you could get from a constitutional option."
Yes, most GOP senators have undergone a filibuster-attitude adjustment of their own since Democrats took over the chamber — and the White House. Many who once favored the nuclear solution now condemn it as a flagrant end run around the Senate's time-tested traditions.
However, in 2005, seven Republican senators, including South Carolina's Lindsey Graham, acted as voices of reason by teaming up with seven Democrats to craft a "Gang of 14" compromise to advance judicial nominations.
Unfortunately, Thursday's filibuster buster was only the latest example of Washington politicians' inability to meet in the middle.
And even those who find fault with Republican foot-dragging on judicial nominations should be troubled by the ominously named nuclear option.
Sen. Reid put it well eight years ago when Republicans considered that nuclear blow to the Senate's "deliberative body" essence: "Ultimately, this is about removing the last check in Washington against complete abuse of power, the right to extended debate."
And ultimately, the nuclear option is bound to spread divisive fallout on Capitol Hill.

Would you like to go on a holiday with a big group of family or friends to the Spanish Costa Brava? But do you think that it will be difficult to find a house for a big group of like 20 people? With the beautiful villa El Rancho you have found your dream destination! El Rancho is located in a quiet neighbourhood in a cul-de-sac. You can park your car safely on your own private property. The beach is only 6 kilometres away. The villa has a covered are of 250 square metres and also offers lots of space outside. There is a truly beautiful swimming pool with around it lazy deckchairs, a big, green garden and a small playground and trampoline for the small children and it even has a small field with goals and a basket. And what do you think of having a big stone barbeque at your disposal? It will guarantee you some nice meals during the long sultry evenings. It really is a paradise here. Wonderful places to quietly read or sit together with a glass of wine. You can spend all your time together but you can also retreat from all the chaos if you wish. It won't get too crowded inside the house either. You have two snug living rooms and a completely furnished kitchen at your disposal. Furthermore, the house offers 6 bedrooms so everyone will have a nice place to sleep. And there are also 5 bathrooms present. From 2 bedrooms you have access to the balcony. The interior is well kept and authentic Spanish so you will feel at home directly. No matter how nice the villa is, you will probably spend most of your time outside. You will enjoy the magnificent view of the surrounding forest from the garden within it of course the fantastic private swimming pool. You won't want to go home!
El Rancho is so nice and wonderful that every trip outside of your own property seems unnecessary. Nevertheless, you can also enjoy yourself in the near surroundings. Blanes is a nice place that consits of 2 parts. In the old part you can find the old harbour with its fish market and weekly market. Here you will also find many old streets and the famous botanical garden. It is definitely worth a visit! In the new part you can find the clubs and a nice water park. And of course there is the beach! Along the coast of the Costa Brava you can find many magnificent sandy beaches. Some beaches are hidden in small bays like the beach of Canyelles, but there are also broad beaches like the beach of Lloret de Mar, where you for a moment will feel like you are on a tropical island. Lloret is only a small distance away. With its snug boulevard and beautiful remains from from Roman times around you, you will be sure to have that pure beach experience. It sometimes appears as if the beach is carved out of the rocks. Of course Lloret is also known as the infamous seaside resort on the Costa Brava, where you can enjoy yourself at any hour of the day. Nice restaurants, snug cafes or souvenir shops with nice litlle bits and pieces, you can find entertainment here on every street. There is also a lot to do for the more active holiday makers in this area. Playing golf, fitness, horse riding or taking part in one of the many water sport activities. There are numerous possibilities, you won't have to be bored a single day. But trips to picturesque places like Vidreres, where there is not as much tourism, or a trip to the historical Tossa de Mar, are also definitely worth recomending. But no matter where you go, you can always return to the quiet and fantastic El Rancho at the end of a lovely day. This easy to book online holiday can now be yours!

Visits to Your Country
It's a great adventure coming to a new place to study, but be fair to yourself and your family: stay in touch with home. Phone home or send a tape; link up with your friends around the world via e-mail; set down your daily thoughts in a journal and in letters to those who helped you get here; plan ahead for a special post-graduation vacation for you and your family. There are all sorts of reasons to stay in touch with home, and all sorts of ways to do so.
The United States has a well-developed network of communications ranging from traditional postal services to advanced telecommunications. In the U.S., you will have access to many communication services, but off-campus services will be required to send and receive international freight and, if you live off-campus, to obtain telephone and Internet service. Most communications services in the United States (with the exception of the U.S. Postal Service) are privately owned and operated; they compete for customers and offer many different choices for a wide range of prices.
Mail Service
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is the main provider of mail service in the United States. Other services compete with the USPS in the areas of express mail and package delivery. These include United Parcel Service (UPS), Federal Express (FedEx), and DHL Worldwide Express (DHL). Unlike postal services in many countries, the USPS does not offer long-distance telephone service or savings accounts.
The nearest U.S. Post Office is located at 7450 Natural Bridge Road. Mail is delivered Monday through Saturday to individual addresses and to boxes available for rent at most post offices. Both UPS and FedEx have boxes located in the General Services Building where you can fill out the necessary forms and mail letters or documents. The instructions and prices are on the boxes.
Many campuses have a campus mail system that distributes regular mail as well as "campus mail," materials sent from one campus department to another. If you live on campus, your mail will be delivered to the Residence Hall by the USPS and then distributed by campus mail to your personal box.
You should not send cash through the mail, but otherwise you can be fairly sure your letter or package will be delivered safely. For additional protection, you may insure your package at the post office.
Telephone Service
Telephone service is provided by local and long-distance telephone companies. Local telephone companies provide local or regional telecommunication services; long-distance companies provide national and international services.
If you live on campus, local telephone service is already provided for you. While there is competition in the long-distance telephone market, you will need to use the university's long-distance carrier.
If you live off campus, you must arrange your own local and long-distance service. To obtain phone service, you need to call 1-800-203-7070. New customers pay a one-time installation charge. Do not forget to have your telephone service disconnected or transferred to your new address when you move. There is no charge for disconnecting telephone service.
If you share long-distance service with roommates or housemates, make sure everyone understands how the bill is to be paid. Check with your long-distance carrier to see if it offers a convenient service that permits each member of the household to enter a personal code when making a long-distance call, thereby simplifying the process of dividing the charges each month.
Detailed instructions for using public telephones (usually referred to as "pay phones") can usually be found in the telephone booth. You can pay with coins or you can pay with pre-paid calling cards. Calling cards are available at the Bookstore in the Millennium Student Center (MSC). You can make long-distance calls from any pay phone in the United States; long-distance service is not confined to certain locales as it is in many countries.
Other Telecommunication Services
Once you have arranged for telephone service, you may wish to look into other services such as facsimile (fax) machines, answering services, and computer-based services such as electronic mail and access to the Internet. Some of these services, such as faxing, are available at low cost from local businesses such as copy centers. It is also possible, for a fee, to send faxes from the Computer Store in the Millennium Student Center.
Most colleges and universities in the United States maintain computer facilities that are equipped with a variety of personal computers and more sophisticated "workstations." These computer sites provide links to the campus computer network, through which users can access services such as library catalogs, on-line databases, electronic mail, and the World Wide Web.
As a student at UMSL, you automatically receive an e-mail account and have access to the university computer labs.

Fontainebleau has proven itself to be a gritty bunch, intent on making its case for a postseason berth. And knowing how competitive the season has proven to be among District 6-5A teams, it made a statement on Tuesday, starting with Bryce Lombard's first-pitch solo home run in the bottom of the first inning and ending with a 3-1 victory at home against Slidell, another playoff hopeful.
Both Fontainebleau's Destin Cole and Slidell's Ryan Rumpza pitched complete games as run support was at a premium.
"I just wanted to give it to our defense because they played a great game," Cole said. "I knew all I had to do was put the ball in the strike zone. We have the best defense we've had in the last four years at this school, and we don't make a lot of mistakes."
Also sharing the load was the offense. The top four hitters for Fontainebleau were a combined 6-for-11 with two home runs and all three RBIs. Shortstop Dylan Manichia had the other home run, a solo shot in the sixth inning over the left-field fence.
"The team knew this was a must-win game and we have to win out from here if we want to get into the playoffs," Ashton Grillot said. "From this point on, we have to step up our game, coming ready to play each time."
After Lomard's first-pitch solo home run, and Dylan Manichia's first-pitch double two batters later, the table was set for Grillot, whose RBI single scored Maninichia for an early, 2-0 lead.
It didn't take long for Slidell to show its resiliency, though. It pushed a run across in the third inning when Austin Sigsworth singled to score Jacob Manlove, cutting the Fontainebleau lead to 2-1. That turned out to be the only time the Tigers would get multiple hits in the same inning.
"We had runners on base in some innings, but couldn't get the hits to get them in," Slidell coach Mike Alexander said. "I thought Ryan (Rumpza) threw a really good game. I thought we were pretty dead in the game and need more enthusiasm. We didn't play as loose as we usually play."
Rumpza settled into a groove in the fourth and fifth innings, throwing only nine pitches. However, Maninichia proved, with a home run, that all it takes is one pitch to change everything.
Overall, Fontainebleau coach Mike Lavin liked what he saw.
"That set the pace, and we were determined to come out and play with confidence," Lavin said. "The number of hits were pretty close, but they key was that we had the bigger hits."

From the March 2010 Idaho Observer:
Bill Gates admits new vaccines will be used for Human Depopulation
Two short excerpts from a recently filmed TED presentation (February 2010) by none other than Bill "Microsoft" Gates were captured and placed on YouTube.com by TruthSpeaker74.
At the heart of Gates' address is the central Global Warming dogma, which dictates that CO2 emitted by human beings is the primary culprit for the heating of the globe. Since this artificial, alleged human-induced, heating effect stands to devastate the planet if left unabated, Global Warming dogma proponents argue that CO2 emissions must be drastically reduced. As Gates casually addresses the issue, he goes on to state that one way to accomplish this goal is to reduce the global human population. In the first clip Gates states in plain language that he considers vaccines to be desirable to that end. You will also hear him casually promoting health care and reproductive health care to accomplish that same goal. Here are Bill Gates' words verbatim:
"The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's heading up to about nine billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent."

Justin Bieber, according to Wikipedia, "is a Canadian pop-R&B singer." He's 16 years old. Nowhere in his Wikipedia entry does it say anything about Tom Brady, the NFL or football. I'm not sure how much Justin Bieber knows about any of these subjects.
But, a Google search of "Justin Bieber Tom Brady" produces about 634,000 results, including many, many, many articles -- like hundreds -- written in the past couple of days by sports writers, entertainment writers and bloggers of the world who have made some sort of connection between Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, and Bieber, the 16-year-old Canadian pop-R&B singer. This global spike of interest seems to have something to do with Tom Brady's haircut being similar to Bieber's.
Among those 634,000 results is a post by The Republican and MassLive.com Patriots reporter Nick Underhill, who wanted to offer his "Eye on Foxborough" audience a look at new video in which Bieber sings -- is that the right word? -- about Brady's haircut not being as good as his.
Here's what some MassLive.com readers have to say:
unrestrained says:
"Let's fast-forward his last two minutes and just get to the part where he overdoses on heroin already! ...
Brady does, though, look like a Nancy-boy with his flowing locks.
Time for a buzz-cut, Tommy."
overpaidbums says:
"Why is EVERYONE against Brady's long hair? I actually thinks it looks pretty good on him and he doesn't look like a girl at all. If anything he looks like a guitar player or a surfer. Bieber is one of the most annoying singers I have ever heard. Once he hits puberty in a year or two he won't sound like he does now and that will be it for him."
Here_413 says:
"What's funny is someone who sings other peoples' written statements (he doesn't write his own music) will try to equal themselves to someone who actually has accomplished something.. WOW... don't get me wrong it does require some talent to sing, but there is also digital effects that can make anyone sound decent."
badflyer says:
"What's sad is that kid has already made more money than some soldier getting shot at in Afghanistan will ever make. We are one messed up society."

Universal Replacement Breakaway Switch for 1 to 3 Axle Trailers by Tekonsha®. Trailers with electric brakes are required to have a breakaway system that applies the brakes in the unlikely possibility of coming loose from the tow vehicle at speed. These systems use a small lead-acid battery and a switch with a lanyard to the tow vehicle frame. One-year warranty.
- Applies trailer brakes if the trailer comes unhitched
- For use on 1, 2 or 3 axle trailers equipped with electric brakes
- Weather/corrosion resistant, heavy-duty polymer case to protect battery and charger
- Quick and easy to install
- Breakaway switch w/ lanyard
- 5 Amp/hr. battery
- Battery box
- 1 year limited warranty
- Note: Make sure battery is fully charged before towing
The law requires a breakaway system if your trailer has electric brakes. Simply, this means that if your trailer coupler separates from the ball, a lanyard attached to the tow vehicle will pull a pin out of a switch. This connects a small battery directly to the trailer brakes. This way, your errant trailer won't continue down the road until it smashes into something, but simply brake smoothly to a halt.
This breakaway system is a vital safety system and should receive regular maintenance, including charging the small battery. Experts recommend replacing the entire breakaway system, battery, switch and wiring regularly every 3-5 years. The simplest place to mount the battery box is on the tongue of the trailer, but where isn't as important as long as it works. You'll need to make electrical connections to the brake circuit, a chassis ground and to the trailer 12V feed for a charger, if you install one.
Intelligent trailer braking is the key to the success of the Tekonsha family of braking products. Established in 1964, Tekonsha technology can be found in some of North America's leading vehicle manufacturers… a testimony to it's superior performance history when it comes to stopping trailers. Smooth, predictable stopping at all speeds has made Tekonsha's Prodigy®, Primus® and Voyager® trailer brake controls "best of class" and the most popular available today. As the industry leader in electric trailer brake controls and breakaway systems remember… "No matter what you are towing, Tekonsha can help you stop it".

Hundreds of radical Muslims attacked several churches in central Indonesia on Tuesday. After hurling stones at a courthouse in Temanggung, they set fire to two church buildings and threw rocks at a third.
The violence occurred after a judge sentenced 58-year-old Antonius Bawengan, a Christian, to five years in prison for blaspheming Islam.
"Today was the climax of the trial. The mob shouted that he should receive the death sentence or be handed over to the public," Central Java province police spokesman Djihartono told the AFP.
Indonesian law does not call for the death penalty in blasphemy cases. The maximum sentence for such an offense is five years in prison. Meanwhile, religious rights group say blasphemy laws are used to persecute religious minorities in predominantly Muslim nations. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world.

If you have an active Azure Web App and you experience problems or want to do some checks on what might the problem, there is a file called EVENTLOG.XML which contain exceptions and information that may be helpful. The file is located in the /LogFiles directory on your Web App. Figure 1 illustrates how that might look when using an FTP client tool like FileZilla.
Figure 1, EVENTLOG.XML file for an Azure Web Site
As this file can be large, you might consider using a tool like LOGPARSER to perform the analysis as manual analysis might cause your eyes to hurt J. I wrote a troubleshooting article about this tool here, it focuses on IIS logs, but you can use it for checking XML files as well.
The selectable columns are:
- Name
- EventID
- Level
- Task
- Keywords
- ServerTime
- EventRecordID
- Channel
- Computer
- Data
An example LogParser query you can use is like the following, with the result shown in Figure 2.
LOGPARSER "SELECT Name, EventId, Count(*) FROM EVENTLOG.XML GROUP BY Name, EventId" i:xml
Figure 2, Analyzing Azure Web App EVENTLOG.XML file using LogParser
If you see an abundant number of exceptions in the file, you can then write another query to look at the data for these entries. For example, a query to see what the Data is for all the ASP.NET entries where EventId = 1309, as shown below and in Figure 3.
LOGPARSER "SELECT Name, Data FROM EVENTLOG.XML WHERE EventId='1309'" i:xml
Figure 3, Logparser query for Azure Web App EVENTLOG.XML file analysis
This can help isolate and ultimately find the reason for poor performance or unexpected performance on your Web App.
I use LogParser Lizard often to perform queries, which you can use in this context too. Simply select XML Input Format as shown in Figure 4, and execute the same queries.

If you've heard of chia seeds but are still unsure how to use them, this is the recipe for you. It's a simple, 3-ingredient strawberry jam that's so easy a kid could make it! Plus, it can be modified to suit your taste in just about every way, be it with different fruits or making it extra sweet, thick or thin.
I whipped this batch up one night last week and couldn't wait to dig into it the next morning over some whole wheat toast. The result was perfect – thick, subtly sweet and not too tart. Plus, the chia seeds provided a subtle crunch and creamy thickness that I just adored. That's the power of chia seeds – they absorb up to 10 times their weight in water, lending themselves perfectly to this jam.

THE 2013 Rose of Tralee, Haley O'Sullivan is set to visit her ancestral home of Bere Island, West Cork on Sunday 13th October 2013. This will be Haley's first visit since being crowned the Rose.
Representing Texas, Haley won the prestigious competition in Tralee in August, becoming the 55th Rose of Tralee.
Haley's grandfather Joseph J O'Sullivan was born on Bere Island, and her Great-Uncle Mick J O'Sullivan still lives in the family home place on the island.
Joseph was one of a family of 11 who left the island to emigrate to Boston, before moving to San Francisco, where he joined the US Army and served in Korea and Germany.
Joseph passed away in the 1980s. Born and raised in Arizona, Hayley now lives in Dallas, Texas where she works as a marketing coordinator for an industrial chemical company.
A keen sportswoman, Haley is a member of the Dallas GAA club, Fionn Mac Cumhaills where she plays midfield on the ladies football team. She is also heavily involved in her local community, serving as a young leader in The American Ireland Fund and regularly participates in fundraising for Catholic Charities.
Haley will visit Bere Island on Sunday 13th October, arriving into the Pier at Rerrin at 3.30pm. She will then attend a function in the Hotel, Ballinakilla from 6pm to 9pm where she will be officially welcomed to Bere Island and there will be an opportunity for everyone to meet her.
On Monday 14th October Haley will visit St Michael's National School on the island and also the Bere Island Heritage Centre.
Bere Island has long held its own in world history, being a strategic naval base during World War one, having an electricity supply long before mainland Ireland, and over the years hosting visits from many historic figures, including the Duke of Wellington, An Taoiseach Eamonn De Valera, President Mary McAleese, and now the Rose of Tralee is set to join that list.
