Customer Reviews
At this moment in time I am enjoying a glass Moët Chandon ice imperial
I have drank a lot of champagne in my life I'm 68years
But I must say this is quite the best I've ever had
I would recommend this fabulous champagne to anyone
Absolutely delicious
Moet had a tasting stand in Nice airport a couple of years ago and though early in the morning I tried this product and really liked it. It's a blanc de blanc champagne (one grape) and to fully enjoy this champagne allow it to chill over the ice for a minute before drinking. The only odd thing about this delicious product is that Moet promote it to be drunk out of white plastic flutes. I hate plastic. This is a classy champagne so treat yourself to a bottle and drink it out of some quality lead crystal flutes or retro champagne 'saucers' . It is also suggested that fruit paraphernalia (akin to what you put in a Pimms) can be added to the drink but straight 'on the rocks' is just perfect. I wish it was cheaper but it is worth it for a special occasion.
First tried it on holiday in the South of France and must say, I found it strange drinking champagne over ice, but Moet have really pulled one out of the hat. It is fruity and over ice it is balanced and fresh.

The following adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the label;
Hypoxemia [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Worsening Heart Failure [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The adverse reaction information from the clinical studies does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating rates.
Controlled studies have included 325 patients on INOmax doses of 5 to 80 ppm and 251 patients on placebo. Total mortality in the pooled trials was 11% on placebo and 9% on INOmax, a result adequate to exclude INOmax mortality being more than 40% worse than placebo.
In both the NINOS and CINRGI studies, the duration of hospitalization was similar in INOmax and placebo-treated groups.
From all controlled studies, at least 6 months of follow-up is available for 278 patients who received INOmax and 212 patients who received placebo. Among these patients, there was no evidence of an adverse effect of treatment on the need for rehospitalization, special medical services, pulmonary disease, or neurological sequelae.
In the NINOS study, treatment groups were similar with respect to the incidence and severity of intracranial hemorrhage, Grade IV hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, cerebral infarction, seizures requiring anticonvulsant therapy, pulmonary hemorrhage, or gastrointestinal hemorrhage.
In CINRGI, the only adverse reaction ( > 2% higher incidence on INOmax than on placebo) was hypotension (14% vs. 11%).

The home was occupied but no one was home at the time of the fire at about 5:30 p.m., Saginaw Fire Department battalion chief Christopher VanLoo said.
Firefighters ventilated the building with large fans and brought the fire under control within minutes of their arrival.
The house appeared to be split into two apartments, VanLoo said, and the cause is under investigation.
The fire was one of several in the city on Thursday, Feb. 14.
About 2 a.m. on Feb. 14, firefighters were called to a burning house at 1919 Jeffers, near Rust. Investigators later said they believe the blaze was intentionally set.
Firefighters also responded to a fire at a dental lab located at 3214 E. Genesee about 10 a.m.
No one was injured during the three fires.

It was an odd match from the beginning, the basketball guy as President of the football team. But two years ago when it was announced that Bob Whitsitt was stepping down from the Portland Trailblazers to "focus on the day-to-day football operations of the Seahawks," Seattle fans held their collective breath.
No, not all of those blue faces at Qwest Field were face-painted fanatics.
Seahawk fans generally viewed Bob Whitsitt with suspicion and distrust and all indications were that many inside Seahawk headquarters did so as well. Whitsitt brought to Kirkland a reputation as an executive who was recklessly aggressive in player-personnel decisions and personally abrasive within the organization. And he accentuated those traits by possessing absolutely no experience in running an NFL franchise.
On Friday, in a surprise move, Paul Allen dismissed his long-time friend effective immediately - citing the desire for a "more cohesive" operation as well as the need to "bring in someone with a deep background in football to run the football side of our organization."
The news came as a refreshing shock, like stepping outside into the frigid January air. It has reinvigorated the fan base, and it's got to be a breath of fresh air in Kirkland too.
Last year in free agency, Whitsitt and the Seahawks were criticized for over-paying for Grant Wistrom, Darrell Jackson and Bobby Taylor. The Seahawks desperately needed every one of those players, so I was willing to let the 'recklessly aggressive' style go so long as Whitsitt was doing his best for the good of the team and the fans.
Then he did something that raised hackles in the Northwest and eyebrows everywhere else… he gave away Steve Largent's retired #80.
There were conflicting stories at the time. Some said Steve Largent called Jerry Rice and graciously offered his #80 to the greatest receiver of all time. Some said Rice respectfully called Largent and asked if he could wear the number. The truth came out later through Rice's wife, Jackie, in the San Jose Mercury News…
Bob Whitsitt, fresh from having signed the future Hall of Famer, sold out the fans and the heritage of Seahawks football. In a cheap and opportunistic move, Whitsitt reportedly picked up the phone and called Largent while Rice was still sitting in his office – the ink still drying on the contract. Whitsitt told Largent that the Seahawks had just acquired Rice and asked if he could wear the retired #80 and then handed the phone to Rice.
Instantly, two of the classiest players in NFL history were put on the spot. Their mutual respect prevented either of them from insulting the other.
The organization then compounded the public relations nightmare by attempting to capitalize on the #80, by selling special throwback Largent #80 jerseys at a premium price, as well as new Rice jerseys.
Whitsitt was a zenith in the Northwest pro sports universe. He became the youngest President/GM in the NBA when he took over the Seattle SuperSonics at the age of 30. Despite only winning 31 games in each of the two seasons prior, Whitsitt guided the franchise to seven playoff appearances in eight years, including two Western Conference finals, and accumulated a 377-279 record during that time. In 1994, the Sonics won 63 games and Whitsitt was named NBA Executive of the Year. Then Allen came calling.
Ten years ago Allen and Whitsitt teamed up with the Portland Trailblazers. Over time, Allen entrusted Whitsitt with greater and greater responsibility over a variety of his enterprises. The Trailblazers maintained their league-leading streak of playoff appearances, but the franchise eventually crumbled under the weight of an array of drug, gun and traffic charges. The P.R. disaster that was the "Jailblazers" was complete when Whitsitt made the infamous comment that he "didn't major in (team) chemistry."
It was with that dysfunctional Portland team as a backdrop that Seahawk fans were wary of Whitsitt's impact on their team, but initially, he was part of the solution to a bigger problem. Ken Behring had first driven the Seahawks into the ground and then to California. Allen, and by extension Whitsitt, were Seattle's only hope and they came through big-time.
What Whitsitt had, was power; the power that comes from being Paul Allen's right-hand man. Whitsitt was at the peak of that power in the spring of 1997 when he negotiated the deal that would save the Seahawks and anoint Allen as the savior of pro football in Seattle. Whitsitt was also instrumental in bringing Super Bowl winning head coach, Mike Holmgren, to the Pacific Northwest and in getting Qwest Field built.
Those were heady days and not so long ago. But after a series of sideways (some would say downward) moves, Whitsitt's star is quickly fading. Only two years ago he resigned from the Blazers to focus on the Seahawks and now he's out here too. In the interim, the Seahawk organization has lost a lot of top-notch front office talent including Senior V.P. and capologist, Mike Reinfeldt, and most recently, Ted Thompson, V.P. of Football Operations.
"It's my responsibility as owner to try to do the best by the franchise, the fans, and the community here in Seattle, and I just felt like this was a change I needed to make," Paul Allen said.
"We are dedicated to winning and that means continuing to build a premier NFL organization with the highest standards of leadership and execution. I look forward to bringing in a new executive who will play a central role in making our football operation more cohesive, and making our overall organization more successful."
"Trader Bob" didn't get his nickname from being shy. Being
recklessly aggressive might get results in the short-term, but what the Seahawks
need now is a steadier hand to bring success that will endure. Hopefully, the
next team President will be one that respects the franchise's heritage
and recognizes the value of good team chemistry… both on the field and

"Kingston is an exciting place to be at the moment - and not just because of our proximity to the rising waters of the Thames," says Kingston Synagogue chair Dr Martin Wolfson. His comment refers to the impact of new rabbinic couple Samuel and Shoshana Landau and was made before a kiddush to welcome six young families and five other new members to the congregation.
The Landaus, unusual in that they share the job of community leadership, have launched a host of initiatives since their arrival. There has been a growth in membership and a decrease in the age profile. Dr Wolfsson added: "It is gratifying that our young members are now electing to buy homes and stay in this beautiful part of south-west London."
Rabbi Landau has introduced a monthly "Shabbat Shalom" series, with activities such as a group discussion or peer-led learning replacing the sermon. The service concludes with a hot kiddush. Mrs Landau has taken on education, pastoral visits and youth activities and has started a monthly women's group, Discovery.
Among the new members at the kiddush were Lynette and Elliot Rose and their daughters Estelle and 12-day-old Verity, prompting Rabbi Landau to conduct a baby blessing service - a first for the congregation.

Breakfast cereal
What is your favorite? or favorites?
This morning we are eating peanut butter multigrain cheerios. I didnt realize they were peanut butter multigrain until I got home, but they are really good!
i still love cereal as an adult! I eat it every morning and sometimes at night (though not often)
Quoting Hottmomma607:
I've always loved cereal but eat less as an adult than a kid!Quoting GypsiSky:
I've never been a cereal eater.
Im eating honey bunches of oats right now!
i dont usually buy the sugary cereals like frosted toast crunch though.
Quoting momofnancy:
I enjoy Apple Jacks, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Frosted Toast Crunch.
I don't eat breakfast cereal, but I do like granola with yogurt. My kids will eat whatever organic cereal I buy that week. I have yet to introduce them to the sugar-fest that is the regular kids' cereals and I probably never will. They're hyper enough, ha!

Hospital employees are at various degrees of risk for development of hepatitis B infections. A retrospective review of surveillance records in five clinical areas at high risk for hepatitis B exposure was carried out to determine its prevalence and incidence in each area. The area surveyed with the highest risk was the emergency department. It was followed, in descending order, by the operating room, the medical and surgical intensive care units, and the dentistry—oral surgery clinic. The surveyed area at the lowest risk was the hemodialysis unit. Strict infection-control guidelines probably minimize the employees' risk to hepatitis in the hemodialysis unit. In the emergency department, however, employees may be increasingly exposed to hepatitis B by dealing with life-threatening problems in an uncontrolled setting.

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey Bourbon will be enjoying a big consumer push this year with a range of marketing activities, including press coverage, print adverts and a new advert that will soon appear on UK cinema screens.
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey is fairly new to the UK and was only launched on the US market in 2011, where it became the fastest growing spirit brand of the year.
Combining the original taste of Jack Daniel's bourbon with a mild honey flavour, it is thought that this sweeter tasting brand will open up to a new range of drinkers that might not usually be attracted towards the whisky or bourbon market, in addition to appealing to regular Jack Daniel's drinkers.
The new Jack Daniel's drink is also a big hit with cocktail fans and bartenders, offering yet another variant to play with, enabling connoisseurs to come up with a range of new flavour combinations.
The new Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey cinema advert will be revealed in October, but advertising has already kicked off in the UK, with branded taxis appearing in major cities across the UK and digital promotions appearing across several platforms.

One week to go before the curtain rises on another Premier League season. Will Fulham be raising the roof at Craven Cottage? Hopefully not, it's only just been put on.
Refurbishment of the famous old ground down by the river gives an indication of club priorities as we prepare for another campaign that holds more prospects of FFC finishing nearer the top of the league than the bottom. While the decision for major construction of a completely new Riverside stand has taken a tad longer to greenlight than expected, few doubted the eventual granting of planning permission. In the near future the club will be accomodating 30,000 plus for home games, confident of selling out on all but a very few of their 19 league fixtures. In contrast, there's little the club can do with our listed Edwardian structure along Stevenage Road, but aesthetically, and historically, a fresh lick of paint to the famous gable end is welcome and appropriate.
Unseen for most of us, a well-planned campaign to recruit and groom the stars of tomorrow has been on-going at Motspur Park for two years. The results from our academy and youth squads are already bearing fruit. Martin Jol will always be judged on results. Lose the first six and his head will be on the block. He also has to subscribe to the club's larger agenda of prudent spending and self-sufficency. That can be a tough call for an inexperienced manager on the rise (see how long Brendan's honeymoon period lasts at Liverpool), as Sanchez found out. It can also be a great test of a manager's character - arise Sir Roy of England.
Martin still has to earn his corn. I suspect in Maf's eyes, along with more than a few fans, we are still awaiting a return on our outlay for Bryan Ruiz. I sense the Costa Rican's form in the next few weeks may determine another possibly spectacular foray into the transfer market. Which brings us onto the Clint Dempsey saga. One reason for refusing to blog too early in the summer is that newspapers and web sites have to be filled with acres of the most absurd garbage. I got utterly bored with the whole Dempsey speculation surrounding Liverpool, a swop for Carroll, various clubs offering the CL route, various managers admiration for the Texan. Start replying or opinionating on this rubbish and the hound is off the leash. If you have nothing interesting to say, keep quiet! I might well post to the world that I am 'desperate to fill the boots of Robert Plant in a re-formed Led Zeppelin,' and that while our sixty-plus blond leviathan is only too happy to croon his way round the bluegrass circuit, Phil Mison cannot wait to wrap his vocal chords around 'Black Dog' for the benefit of world music. Except it aint gonna happen...and I shall keep my vocals for the car CD.
Dempsey's options are limited if he wants to find a club offering CL football. Does he risk uprooting the domestic bliss of life in leafy Wimbledon and exposing his young family to foreign cultures and a new language for the sake of what? Perhaps a place on the bench at PSG or elimination from the group stages by Christmas? Beneficial from Fulham's perspective is how Clint's unstinting progress in the EPL has flown under the radar, even to the extent that his goalscoring return of the past two seasons is seen almost a a 'fluke.' For other watchers, managers here and abroad, they have to persuade club chairman to shell out big money for a player many perceived may just have 'peaked.'
And do I see Clint as a pay rebel who will hold the club to ransom? No. He's been offered the best contract Fulham have ever put on the table. Banking £250,00 a month may sound sweet to the rest of us. Deduct supertax bracket rates from that, agent's commission and the large payments going into his pension fund, then factor in the 50 odd years of living when the tap turns off at a stroke with retirement...Clint will still be giving 100% Saturday come Norwich. Should he become a factor in any transfer swap involving Charlie Adam, Carroll or heaven knows who, Fulham will easily survive his departure. Everyone has their price. Of course, I hope he plays on in Fulham white, but not for a second would I begrudge him a move to pastures new.
Which kinda leads me into Hugo Rodallega to conclude. I can't believe some people doubting his talent. He kept Wigan afloat in the Prem, but in the first-half of last season was made the fall guy for the Latics poor form. He'd made it plain to Martinez he wanted away after giving good service, and that he would run his contract down. As a consequence Martinez found a way to earn Wigan points without Hugo, who got benched. A free transfer coup to Fulham has saved us £4-5 million on our transfer budget. Great business!
Digest that boys and girls and let's hear where you think the team still needs to strengthen. It's very clear there's a financial reality check in play in the market, it's even getting under Fergie's skin (lucky he's got so many biased ref decisions to look forward to) and, to be honest, I don't think there's too big a talent pool out there right now.
Last few days of sun and sea for your correspondent before I point my Mini Cooper back towards ol' London town later this week. Time to start the build up in anticipation and remember...aint it just so much better following this club than anyone else?
I'm impressed with Jol's dealings this summer. It seems like the players who left left because they wanted to go and/or were out of contract, and the players brought in were done on the cheap. If Clint goes, I really hope FFC gets cash instead of a trade so we can increase our options in the market.
I'm very hopeful for this season. We'll probably still end up around mid-table, but I expect more of a consistent and sustained form in play.
That, and our new kits are MINT!
Phil, great to have your articles to look forward to throughout the season! You got a column coming for a projection for this year?
Good notes. I think we can survive a Dempsey exit, but he's worth at least a few places in the table. He could be the difference between Europe and maybe a run at a Cup this year.
If he leaves, it's fair to make the point, as you did, that he could end up at a club who will make a long Champ. League run, but likely be on the bench. If he goes to a CL club he can start at, they may get bounced in the group stage. Is it worth uprooting your legend status at Fulham to feature against clubs who are worse than mid-table prem teams? No.
But to each their own, looking forward to an exciting season playing attractive football!
Glad to see the optimism going into the year. I think an underrated fact is this is the first year with the same manager returning in a few seasons. Seems like with all the changes from manager to manager they always get out to a slow start and play better towards the end of the year. Hopefully they pick up where they left off and that leads to a nice start where those points could be a difference to the final standings.

WASHINGTON - The week of the sequester began with breathless warnings of its devastating effects. It ended with a collective shrug.
As the latest Washington budget deadline arrived Friday, Democrats and Republicans weary from months of fiscal brinkmanship accepted the fact that the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts will take effect for the near future, at least. Rather than patching together another last-minute deal, they turned to debating whether the reductions amounted to a manageable resizing of government or a bludgeon that would soon have voters demanding an alternative.
Republicans were happy to see the cuts, even if they wished the paring could have been more targeted.

Some details of DeAngelo Hall's contract emerge
Feb 20, 2014, 11:55 AM EDT
We have some details on DeAngelo Hall's new contract and although we can't figure out all of the important aspects of it we can see that it's a reasonable deal for both sides.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that Hall's deal is for four years and $17 million dollars. He got a $3.25 million signing bonus and an additional $2 million in guaranteed money. Hall will get $8.5 million in the first two years of the deal.
A few notes:
—The $8.5 million in the first two years means that the identical amount is paid in the second two. So the deal isn't particularly front loaded or back loaded.
—The annual salary will average $3.44 million. In terms of base salary Hall would be the 23rd-highest paid cornerback among those who are signed for 2014.
—Depending on how the other $2 million in guaranteed money is structured, Hall's cap hit for 2014 should be anywhere from $2.81 million to $4.25 million.

Where's the bashing of the deal now? Thought it was a good deal before and an even better one now. Can't wait to hear from the winners now…….
- Troy - Feb 20, 2014 at 1:25 PM
That's whinners…….
- kenlinkins - Feb 20, 2014 at 8:31 PM
Nothing wrong with this deal. If he plays like he did in 2013 he is worth the $4 Million Cap hit in 2014. I think everyone will agree that $4 million a year for your top CB is not bad at all. Even if he sides to Slot CB, Nickel back, or even FS later this year or next, the $8.5 million of "For Sure money" is not out of line as most feel he has 2 years left in the tank with no problem. Beside the normal risk of injury this deal fits well with both rebuilding and finding Vet's as stop gaps until new starters are drafted and groomed. MY VOTE IS " NICE JOB"!
- alextwrs - Feb 20, 2014 at 8:42 PM
Well done skins
- shermanp79 - Feb 21, 2014 at 8:17 AM
When the deal was first reported as a 5 million a year deal. I said then it was a bit high. I actually said I thought 3-3.5 million was where I thought the deal should be, that is exactly where this deal sits. So I don't know who the whiners are? In case you had me there, I think the final numbers resemble a deal I thought was a good one. I knew Hall wouldn't take 2 million a year since he gave money back. I think with the true numbers they could sign another FA a bit closer to the top guys. It does give them the ability to sign a couple or what I think is a better idea is to grab 2 S from FA. We could set our secondary for a few years. That will give us Draft flexibility next year. I am much happier with these numbers for sure. @ Troy and believe it is spelled Whiners not that I'm the best speller.

The $50 million makeover of Dilworth Plaza will create an inviting gateway to subway stations that will remain considerably less inviting.
Unable to pay for a planned $100 million renovation of City Hall subway stations, SEPTA will usher riders from the brighter, airier plaza and concourse to platform areas that will be as they are today: decrepit, dingy, and dim.
SEPTA has been trying for years to get money to modernize the nearly century-old City Hall station on the Broad Street subway line, as well as the adjacent 15th Street stations on the Market-Frankford and Subway-Surface lines.

An old building with a long history in the La Crosse community has a new use that makes Gundersen Health System a destination training and education site for medical professionals. Thanks to the contributions of philanthropists and vendors, Gundersen has created an Integrated Center for Education (ICE).
The building called the ICE House in a nod to its original use as an ice house for the Gund Brewery in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The building now holds a technologically advanced center for education that allows Gundersen to enhance its reputation as a national leader in healthcare.
The idea for the ICE House took hold when the Karl Storz Endoskope company approached Gundersen about a partnership. The Germany-based international manufacturer of medical instruments and devices was looking to develop a training center in the upper Midwest.
They provided three state-of-the-art surgical training towers, as well as their OR integration software in space provided by Gundersen. STERIS Corporation, another international medical equipment manufacturer contributed surgical lights, booms, sterilization equipment and OR tables. Contributions from these major vendors and other companies fully outfitted the rooms with the latest equipment. In addition, a donation by the Cleary family and the Cleary-Kumm Foundation covered construction costs for the training space on the lower level of the ICE House.
It is important to note the ICE House is much more than a surgical training center. All of the space is very flexible, allowing it to be used for other medical training, for school groups and more.

Kanee Wright lives up to her name.
"My middle name is Happy, because I was born on New Year's Day," she says. "I don't ever think about my name being 'Happy,' it's just something inside of me, my feeling of life - just being happy."
The 83-year-old Kaunakakai resident is an employee and volunteer at Molokai's Home Pumehana, where she serves meals-on-wheels to the homebound elderly, and helps with cleaning, deliveries and other chores. She says working keeps her active and engaged with life.
Article Photos
Kanee Wright was honored as the female Outstanding Older American of Maui County at an awards luncheon May 6 at the Maui Beach Hotel.
County of Maui / RYAN PIROS photo
"I enjoy my work, and I love helping people, meeting people and just talking story," she says. "Whenever anybody needs my help, I'm there."
Wright was recently recognized as one of Maui County's "Outstanding Older Americans" for 2014. She expressed her gratitude to the staff and residents of Home Pumehana for supporting her.
Wright was born in Waimea, on the Big Island, and was raised by her grandfather, although she remained close to her father.
"I used to call both fathers 'Dad,' " she says. "My grandpa was Dad Number One, and my dad was Dad Number Two."
Both men were cowboys for Parker Ranch, and Wright grew up riding horses and learning the paniolo way of life.
"Those days, they used to take the cattle down to Kawaihae (Harbor) to ship to Honolulu," she recalls. "They would leave home at 12 o'clock at night and drive the cattle down the hill."
She says her grandfather taught her a love of the rural lifestyle, the value of a strong work ethic, and the importance of appreciating what you have.
"He always told me, 'You just be happy you have a roof over your head and food in your stomach,' " she says.
Wright went on to live on Oahu, where she worked at the Del Monte Cannery as a trimmer and forelady during canning, and picked pineapple in the fields during summers. She and her husband, Ernest Wright, moved in 1978 to Molokai, where they've happily made a home.
She says Molokai reminds her of growing up in rural Waimea, nearly 80 years ago.
"I love it," she says. "It's simple. That's what I like about Molokai - the friendly people, the surroundings. It's the last of the Hawaiian Islands that's been left Hawaiian."
Working with the elderly at Home Pumehana has given her some insights into healthy aging. She says her key to staying vibrant is to keep busy and hold on to a positive attitude.
"My secret is, just don't think about getting old," she says. "We already know we're old. Some of (the patients), they kind of fall back. I tell them, 'Think of the good things, and that kind of lifts your spirit up.'"
And she tries to practice what she preaches.
"Sometimes, when you give that advice, you have to do it yourself," she says. "If you tell them to be happy, and you're not happy, they're going to think, 'Why isn't she happy?'"
When she's not working or volunteering, Wright enjoys spending time with her family.
"I just love my grandchildren, they're always there to help me," she says. "Grandchildren bring joy and keep you young. You always have to be on your toes."
She has six children, many grandchildren, many great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
"I lost count," she says with a laugh over the phone. "I gotta go home and count that out. I know I have many, and I love them all."

My wife and I were glad to be able to cruise to Fiji etc. on Sea Princess from Brisbane, an hour drive from our home. We booked an inside cabin which quite comfortable and roomy enough with a good bathroom. Our friends were upgraded to a sea view cabin which was good too.
The ship was very clean and we encountered no odour problems . The ship's decor, furniture and fittings were of good standard to better. The food range was varied and quite good to very good in all venues and I consider myself to be an adequate judge there. We had no complaints with tender transportation to Pt Denaru and Isle of Pines. There was a variety of entertainment offering which was fair in context. Beers were 5.50 upwards and wine 25 upwards, expensive if you wanted an eleven day party. The Crew were professional, helpful and generally cheerful. All in all, very good value for the canny cruiser.

|Texas Southern
|Wednesday, March 19
|9:10 p.m.
Now that we know what the schedule looks like, let's dig into a discussion about the stars to watch in the First Four games.
Semaj Christon, Xavier
Semaj Christon led his Xavier Musketeers to victories over the likes of Creighton and Cincinnati this year and feels more battle-tested as a result of playing in the Big East.
Said Christon, according to the Associated Press: "I just think the league is more physical, bigger and stronger. Other than that, every night you're going to have a tough game, home or away."
Who wins?
Christon finished the season against that stronger competition with nightly averages of 17.1 points, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals behind 47.7 percent shooting from the field and 38.3 percent shooting from behind the three-point line.
His lateral quickness makes him a formidable defender, and he has no trouble blowing past almost any opponent off the dribble and finishing at the rim when he gets there. If the Musketeers are going to beat North Carolina State, Christon needs to be a major factor.
T.J. Warren, North Carolina State
Much of the discussion in the ACC this year centered on superstars like Jabari Parker and Rodney Hood of Duke, Marcus Paige of North Carolina and C.J. Fair of Syracuse.
However, it was actually T.J. Warren of North Carolina State who took home the conference player of the year award behind nightly averages of 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 52.5 percent shooting from the field.
Warren is a walking mismatch at 6'8" who can take the ball to the rim off the dribble, shoot from mid-range or post up smaller defenders.
The Wolfpack are capable of beating some of the best teams in the country when Warren gets going, as they proved against Syracuse in the ACC tournament, via ESPN College Basketball:
Down goes Cuse! #ACC POY T.J. Warren scores 28 points as the Wolfpack upsets Syracuse 66-63. #ChampWeek— ESPN College BBall (@ESPNCBB) March 15, 2014
Looking forward, Xavier doesn't really have anyone on the roster who can be expected to shut Warren down.
If Warren leads the Wolfpack to the round of 64, the Saint Louis Billikens will likely be waiting. The Billikens are a formidable defensive team, but Warren is one of the most talented players in the entire country.
Don't be surprised when North Carolina State is in the round of 32 thanks to Warren's excellence.
Roy Devyn Marble, Iowa
Roy Devyn Marble made some recent history for the Iowa basketball team this season, as its official Twitter page pointed out:
Roy Devyn Marble becomes the first Hawkeye since Adam Haluska in 2007 to garner first-team All-Big Ten accolades. #Hawkeyes— Iowa Basketball (@IowaHoops) March 10, 2014
Marble averaged 17.3 points, 3.5 assists and 3.3 rebounds a game this year behind 42.8 percent shooting from the field and 36.4 percent shooting from behind the three-point line. Much like Warren, he is something of a walking mismatch at 6'6" because he is often too quick off the dribble for larger forwards and too physical for smaller guards.
Iowa struggled down the stretch of the regular season, but Marble will lead his team to a victory over Tennessee in the First Four matchup.

UNEP Highlights Solar Energy's Role in GHG Mitigation
8 December 2008: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and three solar companies have issued a joint statement calling for widespread and rapid implementation of policies supporting solar energy as a major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction.
The 8 December 2008 statement was issued at the UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland. Zhengrong Shi, Suntech's Chair and CEO, Jeremy Leggett, Executive Chair of Solarcentury, Mike Ahearn, Chair and CEO of First Solar, and Achim Steiner, UNEP Executive Director, underlined that "solar technology is no longer a niche energy solution," and noted that, considering its scale and cost point, it has the potential to change electricity generation. They also underscored that, due to recent investment, solar technologies have improved and costs will be reduced. They called for concrete targets on solar energy to ensure that its implementation contributes to the battle against climate change. [UNEP Press Release]

'Home' makeover

Anderson Cooper, 6, gets some help from volunteer Shannon Hopkins of Crossway Church as he puts his hand print on one of the walls inside the Boys & Girls Club on Royall Avenue. Volunteers with the Lowe's Heroes program came to the rescue over the summer by doing light remodeling and painting the interior walls of the facility.
News-Argus/BOBBY WILLIAMS
A group of children enjoy the updated games inside the Boys & Girls Club. The facility recently underwent some light remodeling made possible thanks to a $1,200 grant from Lowe's. The money was used to paint walls and spruce up the inside of the building.
The Wayne County Boys & Girls Club normally shuts down the week before the school year starts, to give staff a chance to clean up the units and prepare for a new year. This year, though, the Royall Avenue club...

This is an interesting book on the history of physiology, even if the greater emphasis (in content) is on the rise in our knowledge of the physiology of circulation, respiration and digestion to the virtual exclusion of other fields, such as the nervous system, metabolism, endocrine glands and special senses. In this respect it lacks balance, which is unfortunate since it is written in a fascinating style. Aside from this lack of balance there are several errors which no doubt will be corrected in subsequent editions. It was Baumann in 1895, and not Gley, who discovered iodine in the thyroid gland. Tashiro first measured the carbon dioxide production of nerve in the University of Chicago laboratory of A. P. (not E. B.) Mathews. Carl Ludwig wrote virtually all the publications of his 200 pupils, whereas Fulton perpetuates the common error that Ludwig did "little independent writing."

As the members of the North County Mounted Assistance Unit mounted their horses, they checked to make sure that they had enough water for themselves and that their horses were in good condition and ready to work.
As the volunteers paired up to patrol near the azure waters of Castaic Lake, they were spotted by a large group of children, who seemed excited to see horses at the beach and asked if they could pet their noses.
"I think that it's good for the horses, because they can get some fresh air," said Eddie Chutan, of North Hollywood.
The eight riders and their horses are part of the newly formed North County Mounted Assistance Unit, which works at the Vasquez Rocks Natural Area and the Castaic Lake to make sure everyone is staying safe.
Members of the group are trained to respond to emergencies on the trails at both parks, and the horses are great at reaching places that people can't get to in vehicles, said group member Tamara Caudill. Certified group members are trained in CPR and first aid and work to identify trail issues and notify staff members, assist in searching for lost or disabled visitors or animals, provide park patrons with information and report suspicious activities to sheriff's deputies.
"Our job isn't to be a policeman," Caudill said, adding that if the riders spot someone racing down sidewalks on skateboards, drinking out of open containers or breaking other park rules, they notify park officials.
The group does more than make sure people are safe, said Castaic Lake Superintendent Lori Bennett.
"The group is important to us because it's an attraction; it's unique," Bennett said.
In order to make sure they can deal with issues they encounter on the trail, the riders receive 16 hours of training, along with 16 hours of training for their horses, said Wendy Hazlett, vice president of the group. The horses' training includes desensitizing horses to flares, crossing water, crossing tarps, making sure the horses can perform and ensuring the horses get along with people, Hazlett said.
During the summer, the group mainly volunteers their time in the morning, before temperatures get too high. On a blazing morning last week, riders allowed their horses to splash in the lake and drink water before continuing their route.
Other mounted assistance units help patrol Frank G. Bonelli Park, Whittier Narrows and Marshall Canyon, but the North County Mounted Assistance Unit is the first in the north county area, said president Tiffany Mercer.
Darvin White, of Acton, may have retired from the Los Angeles Police Department Mounted Unit after 10 years, but he hasn't forgotten what he learned at his job and now helps train the group.
"It just made sense with it being such a large equestrian unit that we came out to the community," White said, adding that most of the members live in Acton or Agua Dulce.
The unit has about 12 members so far, but experienced riders are encouraged to join the unit by contacting Mercer at firstname.lastname@example.com or Hazlett at email@example.com.
"We're all going to be on the trails anyway, so we might as well patrol," said member Robin Cutenese.

A Gem of a Resort!
Having just returned from our third stay at Soulshine, we felt it was time to share with the world our little gem of a resort we found on the tip of the Placencia peninsula. We've found what we've come to call our home away from home in Soulshine Resort.
Todd and his staff have always treated us more like family than guests. Taking care of all our arrangements for tours and trips as well as putting fresh flowers all thru our cabana, even spelling out Happy Birthday in flower petals on our bed for my 30th birthday. So many little things, done with such warmth and sincerity, its obvious you've come across somewhere very special.
The food at Soulshine is quite possibly some of the best cuisine we've had in all our travels, and being a vegetarian was no problem....They have a spa room for all kinds of treatments & massages, as well as a hot tub and a swimming pool.
There is nothing better than to lay in the hammocks on the dock out in the lagoon. We've seen manta rays, manatees, and dolphins in the lagoon as well as tons of beautiful fish & starfish. Definitely use the kayaks at the resort and paddle all thru the magroves around the resort..
Soulshine is definitely the place to stay in Belize, hands down!

Horrific Disappointment
We thought we'd have a nice "boutique" resort experience, considering the price and the promises. Instead, we found ourselves in a mosquito infested work area sitting on reclaimed land. We complained to the owner about the constant noise of the construction, the unbelievably bad food, and the coatings of mosquito bites. He told us, "you can move but I'm not giving you and money back," and then suggested we use Avon's skin so soft so that the bugs couldn't bite.
This place really should be condemned, and I suspect the owner is wanted for fraud in at least one country. Its absolutely embarrassing how terrible this place is.

Avoid Soulshine
A very overpriced resort for what you get-or don't get. Count out peace and quiet as there is an open-air disco right across the canal, which means you are subject to boat noise at all hours. Beach is a joke, as was the food. Does not cater to vegetarians as claimed. Resort is currently for sale and owner not putting much more effort into the place.
