China will not make a big stink as the Philippines receives (for free) 24 second hand F-5E warplanes from Taiwan. While the aircraft are 1950s designs (built in the 1970s), they are easy to fly and suitable for operations against the various rebel groups. Meanwhile, the leader of the MILF, Hashim Salamat, has returned to the Philippines and ordered a new offensive (despite the ceasefire.) Salamat fled to the Saudi Arabia two years ago as a government offensive destroyed most of the MILF camps and much of the MILF infrastructure. Salamat is apparently upset at how the MILF is splintering, and many rebels are turning to banditry. The return of Salamat apparently means the end of the cease fire, as the government makes no secret of its plans to resume its military offensive.

Erie Playhouse stages workshops for students
It's one thing to read a play.
It's another to see professionals make it come alive before your eyes.
Cast and crew from the Erie Playhouse production of "Once On This Island" recently visited Erie's Strong Vincent High School to hold a series of theater workshops for students.
"Our goal is to take theater beyond Tenth Street," director Almitra Clerkin said. "It's important to go to schools ... and show our love of theater. You never know who you're going to inspire."
Members of the cast, several of them young students, performed a few songs from the 80-minute, one-act musical based on the 1985 book "My Love, My Love."
The plot: a peasant girl, Ti Moune, rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. It's a story of social status and the power of love.
Clerkin spoke to the students in between songs, weaving lessons into the presentation.
"We have to love reading, because everything we do comes from a book or a script," she said.
She also spoke about the importance of commitment.
"Like anything you do in life, you do it 110 percent," she said, noting that a couple of original cast members had to be replaced after not showing up for rehearsals.
Clerkin likened participating in a play or music to participating in a sport.
The coach is the director, teammates the actors, she told the students. The field is the stage, uniforms the costumes.
"Our games are our shows," she said. "Our practices are our rehearsals."
The workshops are being supported by a grant from Erie Arts and Culture (ArtsErie), Erie -- Gannon Alliances to Improve Neighborhood Sustainability, Gannon University and the Erie Playhouse.
Jamil Grandberry, a 15-year-old freshman at Strong Vincent, was surprised when the showcase didn't fit his perceived image of theater.
"I like the choreography," he said. "I wasn't expecting some of the things I saw. It was cool."
She'lae Bailey's father, Jermaine Beason, plays Daniel, the lead in the play.
"I want to do it next time," said Bailey, a 17-year-old junior. "It's so interesting. It's really a great experience."

NEW YORK (AP) - A Grand Slam tournament wouldn't be complete without controversy involving the Williams family, and the U.S. Open began Monday amid a debate about whether the sisters enjoy an advantage because they're black.
That's the contention of Martina Hingis and Martina Navratilova.
Serena Williams tends to doubt it.
"I have gone to a store and been treated differently because I was black once," she said. "Other than that, no."
Williams, the 1999 Open champion, overcame a slow start in her first-round match to beat Anca Barna 4-6, 6-1, 6-2. She joined four other former women's champions - Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, Monica Seles and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario - in the second round.
Two-time champions Andre Agassi and Patrick Rafter advanced on the men's side, as did defending champ Marat Safin.
For Williams, the primary topic in her postmatch news conference wasn't a ragged performance that included 42 unforced errors, but rather a cover story about her and sister Venus in the latest issue of Time magazine. The article revisits the contention first made last spring by Hingis and Navratilova that being black is an advantage for the Williams family.
Hingis said the sisters get more endorsement deals because of their race. For the same reason, Navratilova said, people are reluctant to criticize the family's behavior.
Serena Williams responded: "I think in a sport that is a predominantly white sport, when people see new faces, like for instance golf with Tiger Woods, maybe if hockey were to have a superstar that was Spanish or maybe black, I think then maybe it would get a few more people to watch the sport. ...
"I get endorsements because I win, and I work hard. I go out there and have a good attitude and I smile."
Davenport came to the defense of the sisters.
"They're great girls," she said. "They've changed totally in the five or six years they've played on the tour. I have no problems with them. They've done amazing things for our sport."
Most matches on the first day weren't nearly so contentious. No. 3 Davenport, playing on the 10th anniversary of her U.S. Open debut, beat Andrea Glass 6-2, 6-3. The No. 1-seeded Hingis opened play on Arthur Ashe Stadium and routed two-time NCAA champion Laura Granville 6-2, 6-0.
No. 7 Monica Seles beat Nicole Pratt 6-1, 6-2. No. 20 Sanchez-Vicario had a much tougher time, edging Petra Mandula 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5).
American twins Mike and Bob Bryan lost to former champions. Mike was beaten by Agassi 6-4, 6-1, 6-0. Rafter, playing in perhaps his final Grand Slam tournament, swept Bob Bryan 7-6 (3), 6-3, 7-5.
Rafter announced in January that he would stop playing - perhaps permanently - at the end of 2001. His plan hasn't changed, even though he was the runner-up to Goran Ivanisevic at Wimbledon and reached the finals in three tournaments this month, winning at Indianapolis.
"I don't want to be around tennis for a while and see how much I miss it, if I do or not," Rafter said.

Otters drop Game 3 to Spirit
SAGINAW, Mich. -- The complexion of this Western Conference quarterfinal series changed before Game 3 even began Monday night.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch chose to start Oscar Dansk in net after Devin Williams performed well enough to earn wins in the opening games. But Dansk fared poorly in his OHL postseason debut, as the second-year goaltender allowed five goals on 25 shots in what became a 7-6 overtime loss to Saginaw in front of 2,659 fans at Dow Event Center.
"I've got to figure out how to stop the puck, to be real honest," said Dansk, who was pulled from a game for the fourth time in his past 10 outings. "Everyone else is playing well. I couldn't tell you (what's wrong). I'm trying to figure that out myself. Obviously, I haven't been good lately. The team is playing great, though. I'm just going to try to find my way."
Williams was in net for both of the Otters' 4-3 wins at Erie this past weekend, which gave the Otters a 2-0 lead in the series.
Erie had a chance to take a commanding three-game lead in the best-of-seven series with a win in the franchise's first road playoff game in three years.
So Knoblauch settled on Dansk, who had two solid outings in the Otters' past two trips to Saginaw -- a 2-1 win Sept. 25 and a 4-2 win March 1. But Dansk, who learned he would start Sunday night, never found his rhythm.
Instead, the Spirit climbed back into the series on Cody Payne's unassisted goal 4 minutes, 13 seconds into the extra period. Game 4 is set for Wednesday at 7:11 p.m. in Saginaw.
Dansk allowed Eric Locke's goal in the opening minute on the first shot on goal of the game. It didn't get better for Dansk, who allowed Dylan Sadowy's goal 3:44 later to snap a 1-1 tie. Dansk exited in favor of Williams after Jimmy Lodge's backhand sailed over his shoulder to tie the score at 5 with 14:18 left in regulation.
"Certainly he needs to better," Knoblauch said of Dansk. "Five goals on (25 shots), you're not going to win hockey games with that."
Lodge scored again, this time on a deflection that eluded Williams, to give the Spirit a 6-5 lead with 5:08 left in the third. Connor McDavid and Brendan Gaunce bailed out the Otters' goaltending tandem, as McDavid found Gaunce in front for the game-tying score -- and his second goal of the evening -- with 32.2 seconds to force overtime.
"I thought we started the overtime pretty well," Gaunce said. "I missed a pretty open chance. It obviously was a game-changer."
The Otters appeared to take control of the game in a four-goal second period. Andre Burakovsky continued his torrid start to the playoffs with his second goal of the game and fifth of the series to tie the score at 2 just 1:26 into the period.
Saginaw briefly regained a one-goal lead at 3-2 on Sadowy's first goal of the series at the 2:48 mark.
But a pair of fluky goals gave the Otters a 4-3 lead and sparked a three-goal outburst. Spencer Abraham's seemingly innocent shot from the blue line floated past Jake Paterson for a rare bad goal from the Spirit's veteran goaltender.
He entered the game with 82 saves on 90 shots, and added 46 more on 52 shots Monday. Then Gaunce's shot from the boards deflected off a Spirit defender in front and slipped past Paterson for a two-goal Otters lead 7:19 into the period.
Adam Pelech's one-timer of Connor Brown's pass gave the Otters a 5-3 lead with 7:16 left in the period. The Spirit sliced Erie's lead in half less than two minutes later on Jacob Ringuette's rising wrist shot from the blue line, which handcuffed Dansk. That sparked the Spirit's comeback to a much-needed victory.
"It's a series now," Gaunce said. "And I think we have to play the last four games the way we started the third period (Monday)."
- News and notes: Gaunce led the Otters with two goals and an assist. ... Dane Fox and Dylan Strome had two assists apiece for the Otters. Joel Wigle left the game in the second period with an apparent left leg injury. But he returned in the third. ... All three games in the series have been decided by one goal.

FBI releases 1970 UW bombing documents
Madison — Newly released documents show the urgency and breadth of the FBI's effort to quickly identify and apprehend those responsible for the deadly bombing of Sterling Hall on the University of Wisconsin campus in 1970.
The files were released to The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act following the death last year of one of the bombers, Dwight Armstrong. Two of the other bombers, his brother Karl Armstrong and friend David Fine, were convicted and served short prison sentences. A fourth suspect, Leo Burt, remains on the run.
Armstrong and the others pulled off the bombing by igniting 1,700 pounds of ammonium nitrate and jet fuel packed inside a stolen van parked near the Army Math Research Center housed in Sterling Hall. The blast killed 33-year-old researcher Robert Fassnacht, injured several others and caused millions of dollars in damage.
"In view of seriousness of this case, and possibility this bombing could trigger similar tragic consequences elsewhere, it is imperative that early solution be made in this case," said a memo sent from the FBI director's office to all field staff one week after the Aug. 24, 1970, bombing. "New Left extremists have previously announced their targets include Federal buildings, FBI offices, and other law enforcement facilities."
A day later, another memo updating the investigation identifies Dwight Armstrong and others, whose names were edited out, as "strong suspects" in the bombing. The memo expresses optimism for a quick resolution, which wasn't to be.
"This matter appears to be drawing to conclusive point and aggressive prosecutive steps appear warranted," the memo said. The message notes that the FBI special agent in charge, Joseph Sullivan, wanted to act aggressively "bearing in mind the deterrent aspects of a speedy solution . . . and the need to apprehend guilty parties before they flee the country."
But that's exactly what happened. All four suspects were able to evade escape, even though they were pulled over by a sheriff's deputy about 40 miles from Madison the night of the bombing. The Armstrong brothers were also stopped by police in New York as they made their way to Canada in the days after the bombing.
The Sept. 1, 1970, memo from FBI headquarters instructs FBI agents to immediately contact all informants and other sources who could help identify suspects and cautions that informants should be aware the bombers may not be from Wisconsin because "most radical extremists of the New Left have a great deal of mobility."
A Sept. 2 memo cites FBI sources from Minneapolis who identified the Armstrong brothers as members of the "New Years Gang," which was also responsible for dropping homemade bombs that did not explode on the Badger Army Ammunition Depot in Baraboo on Jan. 1, 1970.
The memo also details how fertilizer was identified inside the van. It ties the Armstrongs to the Corvair seen leaving the scene and describes a letter dated two days before the bombing claiming responsibility. That was found at a former residence of one of the suspects, whose name was redacted from the file.
More than a year after the bombing, in a Feb. 10, 1972, memo, the FBI updates the investigation to indicate that it appears the suspects were hiding in Canada and the greatest chance of finding them rested with "penetration of Canadian apparatus furnishing sanctuary to deserter and other so-called political criminals."
Less than a week later, on Feb. 16, Karl Armstrong was arrested in Toronto. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison but served just seven.
A memo sent the day after his arrest from FBI headquarters notifies field staff of his arrest. It says an informant notified the FBI that Dwight Armstrong was in Vancouver living under the name of Stephen Scofizs Thompson but no information was available on the other two suspects.
Dwight Armstrong wasn't arrested until five years later in Toronto. He pleaded guilty to the bombing, was sentenced to seven years in prison, but served only three. He died of lung cancer in Madison in June 2010.
His brother Karl was arrested in Toronto in 1972, and Fine was arrested in California in 1976. Burt has yet to be caught.
The heavily redacted files in Dwight Armstrong's file do not shed any light on Burt's whereabouts. His name does not even appear in the more than 600 pages of files released to AP, which were only a portion of the open records request.
The FBI is required to release a person's file upon their death, but it redacts the names of any living person. The redaction of Burt's name indicates the FBI believes he may still be living. The FBI continues to chase leads and offers a $150,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.
Other information in Armstrong's files has been public for years, revealed either through court records, described in a 1992 book about the bombing or referenced in previously released documents.
"The Sterling Hall bombing was one of the seminal events of the anti-war era in Madison and by extension in the country," said Stuart Levitan, a Madison historian. "Any additional accurate information that can aid our understanding of the why and wherefores of any of the actors is useful for the historical record."
The upheaval of the Vietnam War period in Madison is not just for the history books. One of the leading student activists at the time, who was first elected mayor in 1973 and went on to serve six terms in two different stints, was elected again Tuesday.
Paul Soglin chose to have his victory party at a popular campus bar called The Nitty Gritty - the same place the Sterling Hall bombers frequented as they mapped out their plot.

LUBBOCK - Texas Tech has some concern about the status of McKinner Dixon, enough that the sophomore defensive end will miss about half of spring football workouts to concentrate on academics, head coach Mike Leach said Wednesday.
The Red Raiders do spring drills on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday schedule, and Dixon will miss the Monday and Wednesday workouts to be in study hall, Leach said.
Asked if Dixon's status was a concern, Leach said, "Yeah, obviously.''
Running back Taurean Henderson also missed Mondays and Wednesdays during spring football last year because the Raiders wanted to make sure his eligibility was secure.
Tech defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich had planned during the off-season to have Seth Nitschmann move to rush end and elevate Dixon to first team at strong-side end, but Nitschmann stayed on the strong side, his usual position, Wednesday.
The team is experimenting with redshirt freshman Sandy Riley at rush end, although Setencich had debated over the winter whether he was a better fit at strong-side linebacker or rush end.
NEW FACES, NEW PLACES: Redshirt freshman Darcel McBath, as had been discussed during the off-season, will work out this spring as a free safety. Already 6-1 and 193 pounds, coaches figure McBath eventually will top 200.
Redshirt freshman LaShawn Vation might go in the other direction, defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich said. Vation, a safety in high school and during his first semester at Tech, got some work Wednesday at cornerback.
Sophomore Daniel Charbonnet has gone from cornerback during his freshman season at Duke, to safety during the fall semester at Tech, back to corner for the spring. Charbonnet started two games at corner for Duke in 2004 before deciding to transfer.
Keyunta Dawson also started spring at strong-side linebacker and Edward Britton at flanker, position switches that were first made during Cotton Bowl preparations.
QB BREAKDOWN: There's nothing new in the way Tech coach Mike Leach will evaluate the contenders in his annual quarterback derby. The top two will get equal time and the third option won't be left out.
Leach said he planned the 7-on-7 skeleton passing drill Wednesday for Graham Harrell and Chris Todd to get 15 snaps apiece and for Ryan Rowland to get 10. During the 11-on-11 team session, Leach mapped it out as 17 plays apiece for Harrell and Todd and 10 for Rowland.
BATTLING BACK: Defensive end Seth Nitschmann, defensive tackle Dek Bake and linebackers Brock Stratton and Chad Hill all are back on the practice field after missing all or most of last season with injuries.
Defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich doesn't want Nitschmann and Stratton to overdo it coming back from knee injuries, because he's confident in both.
"Brock and Seth are coaching up the other kids,'' Setencich said.
Nitschmann, who has had trouble with both knees during his career, has made coaches feel good about his recovery, even if he's not being rushed back.
"I felt real good today,'' he said. "I went out there just kind of taking it slow, easing back into things, kind of building up to full speed. But overall, I felt real good.''
BULKING UP: Several Tech players have put on weight in the past few months, according to a new spring roster released this week. Among those with notable weight increases:
Safety Anthony Hines (6-1, 236), inside receiver Robert Johnson (6-1, 218), offensive guard Louis Vasquez (6-6, 335), offensive tackle Marlon Winn (6-6, 309), offensive guard Brandon Carter (6-6, 351), center Shawn Byrnes (6-3, 318), defensive lineman Jake Ratliff (6-6, 249) and defensive tackle Ken Scott (6-2, 327).

Just curious. who is doing what? If you do plan natural, what devices/methods are you planning on using to move labor along?
natural v. epidural
I recently started considering going natural. Orgianlly I was like "oh hell, why have it hurt if i dont have to!". But lately I feel this desire to go natural if I can. I mean we were after all designed to do this! But could any of you ladies give me any ideas on books that have ways to prepare for a natural birth way ahead of time (im almost 21 weeks)
I had my son all natural we didnt even do birthing class's so that everything was a surprise. Your doctor just told us when we should be at the hospital. I was induce because i was 1 week and 2 days over my due date. And we was already over 9 pounds. But im glad that i did he was healthy and 10 pounds 2 oz and 28 inches long. It was great. And im only 5'4 and small

Loving G/F to Josh 9 yrs going strong..
Epidural...I don't see the point in stressing my body (and baby) out if I don't need to. I have toyed with the idea of going natural since last time I didn't get my epidural until 8 cm...had I known I was that far I would've just skipped it. It wasn't really too painful until the last hour before getting my epidural, and I probably could've gone longer without it but I didn't know I was so far along. But I have decided that I am going to get the epidural again this time. It was so nice and relaxing, not stressful and sort of enjoyable so I want that same experience this time. Just a side note, I gave birth at night so I had them shut off all the lights in the room except when it was time to push they put the spot light on. It was sooooo much more relaxing that way. So if you labor at night you might want to considder that for relaxation. Good luck!
Have 2�daughters and couldn't be happier!
I can't say I went "natural" with my daughter: I was on pitocin after about 15 hours of labor because I wasn't dialating past 6 cm. I didn't have an epidural but after 20 hours I opted for a small dose of pain killers to be added to my IV, this allowed me to sleep between contractions which I really needed after being in labor for so long and being up for 30+ hours. I could still feel everything, it was just less severe. I plan to go natural this time, I will be trying hypnobirthing or doing Bradley again, haven't decided.
I would say, at least try to go natural.
I was planning to go natural with DS, but I gave in after 14 hrs when my OB said once he broke my water, the contraction would intensify... After getting the epidural, I didn't feel the contractions but I could still feel a lot of pressure to my butt, and when it got closer to time for pushing, the pressure was quite intense, and I could still feel everything (being cut and baby coming thru, etc) and had complete control on when to push and how hard, maybe not as much if I didn't have the epidural, idk... I think I could feel everything because my DS had a top of the chart size head!
With this one, hopefully labor will be shorter, and I'll be able to go natural...even though everything went fine with the epidural with DS, I was really nervous when getting it, and I will probably feel this same way if I have to get it this time around.

Natural. I had an epi with my first and it slowed my labour and I almost ended up with a c-section! And I hated the way I had no control over my body and I couldn't move after the birth. It was horrible and I still felt a great deal of pain, just couldn't feel my legs.
I went natural with the next two and had much better experiences. Most of the hospitals here don't even offer epi's, so most women here make it through labour without!

Historical Traveler Reviews Tropicana Rosetta & Jasmine Club Sharm El-Sheikh
A wonderful time
We stayed at this Hotel on b&b basis in February. The sun shone and the sea was warm enough for snorkelling. We are worldwide travellers with wide experience of standards, and have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel. The service we received was superb and nothing was too much trouble for EL SAYEED our House Keeper. As with most holidays we needed him to sort a couple of problems (hairdryer and bath plug) and this was done immediately. His attentive polite manner was on a par with and probably better than some cruise ship stewards. Likewise the excellent pool attendants ASHRAF and MOY made sure we were comfortable with sunbeds. Breakfasts were most appetising and enjoyable. To enjoy a walk, we ate out most evenings in Sharm so cannot comment on Tropicana restaurants. All in all we had a wonderful time and would say that if you enter into Egyptian culture, the Tropicana would appear to be as good if not better than some of the higher priced hotels. The Hotel Staff are to be congratulated on their handling of luggage especially post holiday. Unlike many they ensure your luggage is collected from your room by Staff, and kept secure until your coach for the airport arrives. Tips are appreciated but there was no hassle for same. Sharm Airport is manic but "go with the - stop and go flow" both entering and leaving Sharm. It is an experience. We will be returning to the Tropicana Rosetta soon.
Anne & Mike Lane Feb 2005
I liked it
I was in Tropicanna at the end of Feb 2005. And liked it a lot. We got good room on the second floor. I enjoed food.
There were lots of Russian and Italian.
Good beach. Warm weather.
And the best moment was that it located in the middele of Sharm.
Little disapointed!!
On arriving in our room ..we noticed that the wardrobe door didn't open,we had no plugs in the bath or sink and on going to reception found that the door didnt lock.We changed rooms the next day to the one above which did have a nicer view over Naama Bay and the pool,but unfortunatly the 2weeks we were there we hardly ever had any hot water and the shower didnt work...also they took the hairdryer which was never seen again!!
Our cleaner Mohaamed was a sweetheart the room was always clean..sheets and towels everyday,he even cut flowers for us and made models out of the towels,the staff in the restuarant are willing to help but are quick to take the plates ect away ..you have to keep putting your hands over them.In all we did have a nice stay as we done alot of trips while we were there...Cairo,Luxor,dolphins but we won't be going back to Tropicano.
A great place to stay
Myself & my best friend stayed in this lovely hotel just last week. We went B&B so we could get out & about during the day/evening & sample the local cuisine. Our breakfasts were superb. Everything you could ever want...our personal favourites were the freshly made-before-your-eyes pancakes with delicious hot chocolate sauce :)
I have to say I did get a nasty bout of food poisoning but whether it came from the hotel or a restaurant, i'll never know! My friend was fine though, & we ate the same things. I must just have a weak stomach!
The hotel was SUPER clean. We came in one morning at about 4.30am & the cleaners were "brasso"-ing everything, scrubbing the swimming pool tiles, you name it...they cleaned it!
Our room cleaners (Moustafa & Moustafa) were incredibly diligent...making sure everything was sparkling, folding up our pyjamas, tidying up our massive mess & even bringing us freshly picked flowers one day!
This reflects the feel of Sharm el-Sheikh as a whole really. I didn't see any dirt/mess at any time during our holiday...(well, there are a few nutshells on the floor of the camel bar!). The hotel did all the maintence/building works at night time so you don't have to witness it & if work is needed to be done during the day, huge rug type things are put up so you don't have to see the mess!
Unique Qualities:
Generally a fantastic place to stay. Everything is done for you, the staff are so friendly and desperate to make sure everything is perfect for you.
The three swimming pools are of a good size with lovely comfy sun loungers! Although we didnt actually find the free beach that belongs to the hotel, we just went to the Gafy Beach which is straight over the road.
All you need to do is nip through the Hilton hotel to get to the centre of na'ama bay, we never needed to use taxis/buses for going to town.
If you want luxury, then go for the Hilton/Novotel etc, but if you're on a bit of a budget & don't mind walking over a road to the beach (insted of being on the seafront) then this is a great choice of hotel. Even though it's 3 1/2*...it felt like we were getting 5 * service.
I hope you enjoy your holiday as much as we did :)
A Very functional & friendly hotel.
Set 30 metres back from the main road, split into the main complex and an annexe, and next to Emporer Divers (The best dive school in Sharm) the Rosetta is a very reasonable and interesting hotel. Set on a hillside, there are many different levels for this hotel. The hotel is also very spread out. If you aren't keen on walking sometimes long distances depending on where your room is, do not stay here. Some of the hills & steps are pretty steep though assisted wheelchairs can get up them with a bit of a push.
The rooms are clean and have surprisingly high ceilings but again they are very often on a split level & one has to negotiate a very steep sharp spiral staircase to get into & out of bed. This can be a pain in the --- if one wakes up in the middle of the night needing the bathroom or to answer the phone. It would not be safe negotiating the stairs without turning a light on & we all know the implications of doing that to one's wife in the middle of the night!!!!
Air conditioning good, tiled floor, decor a bit scuffed, Bed comfort & size is good & rooms are fitted with mini fridges.
Reception area beautiful & is the standard Egyptian marble. Security is good though some of the guards can be over zealous. My daughter who lives in Sharm came to visit me at the hotel & was physically restrained from entering my room with me!!!! This was reported to hotel management!
The food is good and hearty though the dining room is a little bit like a dungeon, few windows, predominantly below ground and poorly lit. There is a chinese restaurant attached to the hotel.
Bar service is ok and pool snacks are basic but adequate.
There is no hotel entertainment to speak of but the Black House nightclub (attached) is probably one of the best in Sharm.
Staff are very attentive and really make you feel very welcome.
There are souvenir shops, basic travel goods & an internet cafe within the hotel complex.
I would stay there again.
Great holiday
we have just returned after a weeks stay at the tropicanna rosetta hotel sharm a excellent holiday staff very polite and friendly.bedroom very clean breakfast brilliant.the swimming pool was rather cold which was a little dissapointing chinese restaurant ok wine awful. lots of lovely restaurants in sharm itself at a reasonable price. jeep safari recomended we had a lovely day eating with the locals and visiting a bedouin camp it was amazing must have a ride on a camel our 16year old daughter was with us and thoroughly enjoyed her holiday.
Brilliant New Year staying at Rosetta
Stayed in Rosetta just after Xmas and had brilliant New Year.
the complex is very big with 4 swimming pools (all cold water though not heated pools). Staff couldn't have been more attentive and friendly. Stayed B&B which was the best option for us. Breakfast was good with great choice for anyone's palette. Read previous reviews that indicated the Hotel was 'tired' and not too sure what to expect. All facilities that we stayed in were excellent and our room couldn't have been better. Had 2 queen size beds, hairdryer, TV and requested a kettle (arrived later that day) requested a stove (arrived few hours later) to reheat an Indian that we had over ordered (from Indian Restuarant previous night - great food but advisable to book - next to Camel Inn) nothing was too much trouble. Flowers were put in our room, and balcony overlooking pool. Not only was our room cleaned daily but all hotel continually being cleaned daily. Supermarket on site for convenience and reasonably priced - great place for families or couples.
New Years's eve gala was spectacular (we usually shie away from organised events) but buffett excellent with dancing and show put on after midnight.
Took trip to Cairo (not with travel company) but Sun n Fun - Pyramids awesome cost approx �45 each all inclusive entrance and lunch in restaurant overlooking Sphynx. although 7 hours travelling each way during a 24 hour time slot definately worth the effort. Jeep took only 2 sets of people with double seats to lie out on for overnight travelling to Cairo and interrrupted sleep for rest stops at services.
Most definately would say Hotel value for money with comfort and facilities to suit most people. Would we stay at the Rosetta again - definately yes. Maybe spring or autumn as nights became very cold definately need thermal warm clothing at Xmas or New Year for evenings although very sunny and hot throughout the day.
Great for divers
Have stayed at the Rosetta twice now, its a nice hotel with great reception area, facilities and friendly staff. Rooms are a decent size, if a little dated in places.
Hotel is located off the main road through Naama Bay, 10 mins walk from the busy centre with bars and restuarants - so no taxi's required. Rooms are quiet though as on the desert side of the road.
This hotel is a great option if you go to Sharm to dive, as Emperor Divers is located right next door. Therefore no need to arrange lifts to/from the dive centre each day, so you get a lie in !
2 or 3 pools, no Italian Disco aerobics on offer here (thank god) unlike other hotels in the area. Public beach is 5 mins walk, Rosetta have arranged free towel/loungers there.
Hilton Fayroux and Hilton Dreams hotels are located next to the Rosetta - I recommend the Pirate Bar at the Fayroux - I'd say the best bar in Naama (Camel Bar comes a close second).
All in all a decent hotel (especially handy for divers) not far from the centre of Naama. Recommended.
Fantastic stay
Me and my husband stayed here for one week in november great hotel rooms are spacious and comfortable staff are brilliant. It is a fair walk to the beach you need to get a ticket from reception that will allow you a free sunbed and towel there are free shuttle buses to other beaches the snorkelling is out of this world you cant go to egypt and not snorkell even if your a none swimmer it is about ten minutes to the centre of namma bay which is very busy there isnt many bars but what there is a good night is guaranteed. The locals are very friendly you really do have to barter to get what you want. Back to the hotel there is very little entertainment they put on a russian show VERY BORING. The food is excellent lots of choice and all very fresh but you have to pay for any drinks. but the bars are very nice and welcoming. Another must is to go Quad biking in the desert it is an experience. Overall a fantastic resort with lots of things yo do any questions you can email me. at gail .firstname.lastname@example.com.
Fantastic holiday
Just back after having a wonderful holiday in Sharm el Sheikh. The weather was fantastic, the food good and the beaches/snorkelling out of this world.
The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. The pools were all lovely with plenty of sun loungers for everyone.
However, I would not recommend this hotel for people with walking difficulties as within the complex there are a series of ramps and stairs to get from one end of the hotel complex to other.
The good thing about choosing this hotel is its location to the beach plus the hotel runs a free bus shuttle to its sisiter hotel the Grand Oasis - where the snorkelling is even better. DONT FORGET YOUR UNDERWATER CAMERA - as the fish are spectacular.
At night you can take a slow walk along the promenade to Naama Bay where you will be hasselled to buy things. If you don't want to buy anything just walk right past them and ignore the locals. Remember and barter with them, usually start at half the price they quote you.
In all a fantastic holiday, and we have already been to the travel agents to book up for next year.

Arum Thinks Mayweather's Sanity is Possibly Slipping
By Edward Chaykovsky
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, believes his former client Floyd Mayweather Jr. is starting to mentally lose it. Arum, speaking to Martin Rogers of Yahoo Sports, questions some of Mayweather's recent verbal rants and his behavior outside of the ring. Over the last two years, Mayweather has been involved in a number of lawsuits stemming from assault allegations. Some of those cases are still ongoing, including one case involving the mother of his children.
"He was never the easiest person to deal with, but he was a different person really to what I see now," Arum said. "All you have to go on is what you see and hear about him and the way he goes about his life. But it is very strange. It is completely bizarre some of these things that are going on. The things coming out of his mouth and the actions you hear about just don't make sense. You have to just wonder where it is all coming from.
"You act a certain way [and] you are going to be judged upon it. If you act like you are insane, that is what people are going to think. If you act responsibly and professionally, then people will treat you that way. I guess when you are dealing with Mayweather, you have to stop asking rational questions because maybe we are not dealing with a rational guy anymore. You just have to take it as it is."
Arum is even shocked at Mayweather's recent attacks on Oscar De Le Hoya, the president of Golden Boy Promotions. Mayweather's last five pay-per-view have been co-promoted by De La Hoya's company, and that includes this Saturday's fight against Victor Ortiz at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"A boxer's reputation is his own and you have to nurture it. He is destroying it. What about the recent attack on Oscar? Why is he attacking De La Hoya? He is not fighting him – he is his own promoter. What purpose does it serve?"

, updated March 6, 2014 at 4:39 PM
A request to operate a picnic grove behind a restaurant is on the agenda for this week's meeting of the Elma Town Board, which begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Town Hall, 1600 Bowen Road.
The plans of American Grille owner Jay Macaluso, who's seeking a business use permit, include a three-sided building for weddings and upscale parties on acreage behind his restaurant. While the restaurant itself is on Seneca Street in East Aurora, the majority of the land behind it is in Elma.
Neighbors of the proposed picnic area already have complained about noise from the Grille in summer, when volleyball games and outdoor music are played on the land that's in East Aurora.
Macaluso would have to overcome a zoning issue first; the acreage in Elma doesn't allow commercial use because it's zoned residential.
Also this week:
• The Teens Read Group will meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Elma Public Library, 1860 Bowen Road, to discuss "Water For Elephants" by Sara Gruen. The book club welcomes teens age 13-17.
• Elma Kiwanis Club will hold a dinner-business meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Elma Grill, at the corner of Bowen Road and Clinton Street.
• Lenten fish fries will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. each Friday in Elma at Spring Brook Fire Co., 70 Pound Road, and St. Gabriel's Church, 5217 Clinton St.
• Suburban Adult Services in Elma will hold its Master Mind Dinner (formerly the Murder Mystery Dinner) and theme basket raffle from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Saturday in Michael's Banquet Facility, 4885 Southwestern Blvd. Quizmaster Dennis George will entertain. Call 805-1555 for tickets.
• The Marilla Conservation Board meets at 7 p.m. Thursday in Marilla Town Hall, 1720 Two Rod Road.
• Marilla United Methodist Church, 1910 Two Rod Road, will host a Corned Beef Community Dinner beginning at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Adult dinners cost $7 and feature corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, bread and dessert; the cost is $3 for children, whose dinner is macaroni and cheese.
• A dinner meeting of Wales Kiwanis Club begins at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Iron Kettle, Olean Road.

Brandied Christmas Fruit Cake
DK - A Greener Christmas, 2008 Dorling Kindersley Limited
This brandy soaked Christmas cake is decorated with an elegant design using a thin layer of confectioner sugar with a paper doily stencil. The chocolate cake is garnished with colorful berries adding a hint of color.
If you don't like the taste of brandy, make the cake at least one week before you want to eat it. For a simple but elegant confectioners' sugar pattern on the cake, use a paper doily as a stencil.
Preheat the oven to 275° F
1-1/4 cups currants
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup (about 20) glace (or candied) cherries, rinsed, dried and quartered
packed 1/4 cup (about 14) dried apricots, cut into pieces
1/4 cup mixed candied citrus, finely chopped
4 fl. oz. brandy
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. grated nutmeg
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
1 cup dark muscovado sugar
1/2 cup whole almonds, chopped
1 Tbsp. molasses
zest and juice of 1 lemon
zest and juice of 1 orange
4 extra large eggs
brandy for soaking
1. Place fruits in a bowl, add brandy and leave overnight. Grease and line an 8-inch-deep round cake pan, ensuring that the paper around the side is higher than the height of the pan.
2. Measure the flour, spices, butter, sugar, almonds, molasses and the lemon and orange zests and juice into a large bowl and add the brandy-soaked fruits.
3. Add the eggs to the ingredients and mix everything together thoroughly. Then spoon the cake mixture into the prepared pan.
4. Spread the mix out evenly with a palette knife and cover with a double layer of wax paper. Bake in the oven for about 4-1/2 hours until firm. Allow cake to cool in the pan.

I finished Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 yesterday, beating the anti-registration campaign. The game was overall a success, as I enjoy the mindless button mashing that comes along with the action RPG element of the game. While I cannot see everyone liking the gameplay, for those who do like this type of gameplay, I would recommend the game, or if you enjoyed the first game I would say to play it as well. There is no change to the gameplay and no real evolution for the game, but that doesn't mean that it is not fun to play. However, from what I remember about the first game, I find this game to be a lot less challaging than the first. I tended to die a lot more in the first game, while I think I only lost about 3 or 4 characters the whole game and never had my entire party die in this game.
The story is really engaging and made me want to continue to play the game. They did a good job taking what they did in the comic book series, and adapting it for a game. I like that they decided to take it in another direction as the comic book, as in my opinion it fell apart at the end and did not have a satisfying ending.
The real problem with the game is the technical issues that I had. I have never had so many technical issues with a game before on my 360. The game suffered from an aweful lot of graphical slowdown, but that can be understood with the amount of characters and enemies that are on the screen at one time. The bigger problem was the 3 or 4 times the game froze completely and I had to restart my console, thus losing a big chunk of my progress.
Outside of the technical issues, and gameplay that could be seen as repetitive, is a fun game in my opinion. So if you are a fan of Marvel, action RPG, or both I would suggest you pick up this game. Next for me is to try it on Legendary difficulty to finish the pro-registration campaign.

Aluminum Show brings metal to life
LAFAYETTE - Founded in 1988, the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana is a non profit organization that presents live entertainment at the Heymann Performing Arts Center and other local venues, creates in-school arts activities, offers daytime performances for students and initiates outreach programs such as PASA Plus and Play It Again, Lafayette. PASA presents annual performances of opera, dance, drama and a variety of musical performances.
The Aluminum Show brings a high-energy, visually stunning, family-friendly live show to the Heymann Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday April 20. This performance is part of the 2010/2011 main stage series presented by the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana.
"A fascinating, family-friendly, fun and interesting show...incredibly interactive from the front of the theatre all the way to the back... very visual... the energy is amazing...something I've never seen before," reported Fox News TV.
This show is a unique and energetic experience for the entire family, a stimulating tour de force which combines movement, dance, visual theater and plenty of humor. Under the artistic direction of show creator Ilan Azriel, The Aluminum Show combines dance, unique choreography and puppetry. Azriel drew creative inspiration from years as a performing artist/dancer with the Inbal Dance Theater in Tel Aviv and in the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company (KCDC).
In the show, talented dancers and actors breathe life into aluminum-tone industrial materials to tell the story of a young machine determined to reunite with its parents. During its travels through a futuristic world ruled by bizarre technology, it finds adventure, excitement and even a human friend, who does whatever it takes to get it back home in one piece.
"The Aluminum Show is GREAT fun for the entire family. Children of all ages will be captivated by the movement, dance and humor of the story line" says PASA Executive Director, Shanna Higginbotham. "This is the perfect way to cap off PASA's 2010/2011 main stage series, a world class performance that anyone who loves entertainment should not miss."
The Aluminum Show uses recovered materials from industrial factories that are re-used to build the set, dress the cast and interact with the audience. As industrial materials are given new and surprising contexts, then combined with visual effects, lighting manipulations and enchanting music, all senses are on high alert. With sights and sounds that overcome any language barrier, this is visual entertainment at its best.
"Kids will go crazy over this entire silver-and-black spectacle, but the best family magic occurs when an audience member is brought on stage, wrapped in foil, and eaten by an aluminum duct. He simply disappeared," says Theatermania.
The Aluminum Show is sponsored by Fugro Chance, Doug Ashy Building, Schilling Distributing and Vidox with additional support from a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
Tickets for The Aluminum Show are available through TicketMaster by calling 1(800) 745-3000, or online at pasaonline.org or at any TicketMaster box office, including the Heymann Performing Arts Center in Lafayette.

Edward P. Liberto, 82, of the Blue Anchor section of Winslow Township, an operator of a family farm there, died in a fire at his home about 2 a.m. Friday, June 6.
It was the third death to strike the family in less than a year.
"My mom had passed away 10 months ago," Mr. Liberto's daughter, Lisa Linardo, said, and last month "my uncle was hit by a car."
Rudolph E. Liberto, 85, one of Edward Liberto's brothers, was fatally injured when he was struck while crossing Route 73 in front of his home on Tuesday, May 27.
Born in Blue Anchor, Edward Liberto graduated from St. Joseph High School in Hammonton, N.J., in 1950 and studied engineering at La Salle University for two years before enlisting in the Air Force during the Korean conflict.

Nanotechnology & Quantum Information Processing
Jesús del Alamo, the Donner Professor, MacVicar Faculty Fellow and Professor of Electrical Engineering in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT is the recipient of the 2012 Electron Devices Society (EDS) Education Award. On receiving this award at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco on Dec. 10, 2012, Prof. del Alamo was cited by the EDS "for pioneering contributions to the development of online laboratories for microelectronics education on a worldwide scale."
Judy Hoyt, professor of electrical engineering and computer science in the MIT EECS Department, has teamed with colleagues in the Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) to design a new kind of p-type transistor using germanium (not silicon). The team has successfully demonstrated that the p-type transistor can achieve speeds twice as fast as current experimental p-type transistors and nearly four times as fast as the best commercially produced p-type transistors.
EECS researchers including professors Vladimir Bulovic, Jing Kong and Mildred Dresselhaus and postdoctoral associate Hyesung Park and graduate student Joel Jean have joined MIT colleagues including associate professor of materials science and engineering Silvija Gradecak and postdoctoral associate Sehoon Chang, to produce a new kind of flexible and solar cell based on graphene paired with nanowires and quantum dots. This work could rival the current use of silicon crystals or indium tin oxide (ITO) and is predicted to be scalable for alternative use to the silicon or ITO models.
A team from the MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL) including Jesús del Alamo, the Donner Professor of Science in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), EECS graduate student Jianqian Lin, and Dimitri Antoniadis, the Ray and Maria Stata Professor of Electrical Engineering have used indium gallium arsenide to build nanometer-sized metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) that can outpace silicon providing the smallest non-silicon transistors yet.
Luis Velásquez-García, a principal research scientist at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories, and his group have created a new system for spinning nanofibers—one that should offer significant productivity increases while drastically reducing power consumption. They will be presenting this work at the International Workshop on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications in December.
EECS PhD candidate Faraz Najafi together with another student (Qingyuan Zhao, Visiting Graduate Student) won first place for the Best Student Poster at the Applied Superconductivity Conference that was held Oct. 7-12, 2012 in Portland, Oregon.
The MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department held a reception, October 18, to celebrate the official launch of the new SuperUROP undergraduate research program. Members of the inaugural class of the SuperUROP program, sponsors (and donors), MIT administrators who contributed to its implementation, and EECS faculty mentors and guests, joined EECS Department Head Anantha Chandrakasan in the Stata Center R&D Dining area to celebrate. Read more and view photos of the event and the 6.UAR class held just before the reception.
Calling it a glimpse into the future, technology news website CRN has hailed MIT EECS/CSAIL faculty and the new Wireless@MIT center as the source for seven new technologies that will impact (favorably) our daily lives. Read more...
Jesus del Alamo, Donner Professor, MacVicar Faculty Fellow and Professor of Electrical Engineering in the EECS Department at MIT received the Semiconductor Research Corporation 2012 Technical Excellence Award in recognition for the fabrication of nanometer-scale transistors with world-record high frequency operation, as well as the investigation of the use of III-V compound semiconductors to enable a new generation of deeply scaled transistors for future digital applications.
This fall, the faculty and students in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) Department at MIT are coming together for a new program that has created a buzz since its announcement last spring. The Advanced Undergraduate Research Program — now officially called the SuperUROP — for EECS department juniors and seniors has already enticed over 200 students with more than 100 exciting research projects proposed by the department's faculty.

The food on the lido deck was very good except for the pizza. They changed the pizza since last cruise. We ate dinner in the MDR every night. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We even ordered room service a couple of times late at night with no issues at all.
The entertainment was so so the 1st 2 nights but the show on the last night made up for it. The comedians were great!
We went to Progresso and Cozumel. In Progresso we just hung around dock and did some shopping and had a few drinks. In Cozumel we did Mr Sancho's. I would go back to Mr Sancho's in a heartbeat. Great food, drinks and service. Our days at sea were very relaxing. The chair hogs didn't show up, so finding a nice spot to listen to the music and enjoy the activities was no problem.
The ship was very easy to get around. We just spent a little time at the beginning of the cruise to explore the ship and that made easy to get around. Overall, we would cruise the Triumph again tomorrow if we could. After a day of rain in New Orleans on the day we left, the weather was perfect. The ship has aged a little, but in no way that would keep me away. The service was excellent everywhere on the ship. I really don't understand how anyone could complain about the Triumph and the service. I can't wait to go back!!!

Keep your face smooth, moisterised and healthy
By Neha Poddar - HYDERABAD
Published: 01st November 2013 10:37 AM
Last Updated: 01st November 2013 10:37 AM
A daily skin care ritual that combats the pollution and daily environmental damage to your skin is a must in today's busy lifestyle. As a part of routine cleansing, people settle for a face wash and moisturiser which does not clean beyond the skin's surface, and cannot remove makeup residue and repair the damage due to exposure to the sun. Inappropriate cleaning techniques and wrong choice of products can further damage your skin. A simple three step skincare regimen can do wonders to the skin retaining the youthfulness of the skin - cleanser, toner and moisturiser (CTM).
Step1: Choose gentle exfoliation like oat extract that optimises skin moisture level. Wash your face and apply a cleanser all over your face and neck. Evenly spread it across and gently massage with your figures. Wash it clean and dry it before the application of the toner.
How it works: Cleansing dirt, make up and excess oil, leaves the skin soft fresh and clean. This process opens the pores and allows deep pore cleansing. A natural cleansing agent gently whisks away the debris without stripping the skin. A good cleanser gently cleans your skin without clogging pores
Step 2: Choose a toner that contains ingredients that improves PH balance of skin such as Acerola Cherry Fiber, is alcohol free, hydrating and anti-bacterial. You can apply a toner with a wet cotton swab/pad with the toner, evenly dab it all over your face and neck and follow it up by application of moisturiser.
How it works: Cleanser is followed by toner which brings the pores back to the normal size along with improving Skin PH balance. It also optimises the skin's ability to control oil through the day and prepares the skin for moisture.
Step 3: The final step includes moisturising to prevent skin from drying or becoming too oily. It acts as a shield and defends from environmental assaults and UV rays.
The best moisturizers contain Hydro Lipid Matrix (helps hydrate, smooth, and protect against moisture loss), anti-oxidants and SPF 15 (application of a pack made of curd mixed with 3-4 drops of honey it for 10 minutes moisturises the skin, but such home remedies do not have anti-oxidants/ sun protection).
For different skin types
Those with combination skin or oily skin should look for a balancing element in the product that controls surface oil and improves hydration level, while a normal or dry skin should go for a hydrating product that maintains optimal moisture levels of healthy skin.
Skin is an excellent indicator of one's inner health and proper diet will help maintain youthfulness of the skin. Besides having plenty of water that helps maintain the hydration level of the skin, food with vitamin ACDE rich in anti- oxidants and protein is important to nurture healthy skin.
Nutrition advice
Fruits and vegetables rich in water content such as melons, cucumber, leafy and green veggies, citrus fruits such as orange, lemon and so on are ideal. Nuts and dry fruits rich in Vitamin E along with food source high in protein such soya, grams etc are also good sources.

It's not about the X's and O's, it's about the Jimmy's and Joe's.
We've all heard it.
Coaching legends like Barry Switzer and Pat Jones swear by it.
So why then, about every two years now it seems, does some member of the media (this time it's Stewart Mandel of http://si.com ) starts in on how Oklahoma is now a "System" for quarterbacks? See here-http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/stewart_mandel/07/21/parity/1.html
Do they not buy in to the same creed that just about every head coach, at any level, does?
Apparently not.
While the system, or offensive scheme, is a part of what goes in to allowing the Sooner signal callers to have success, it's only one facet of many.
So I have decided to attempt to set the critics straight, with both an in-depth look at the ways the Oklahoma Sooners have such great success with quarterbacks, and a few more reasons why the term "System" does not apply to them.

Sally Struthers brings experience, humor to 'Hello, Dolly!'

Skaggs, Hornsby pair piano with frenetic fiddlin' around
From the carefully placed microphones to the stringed instruments in the hands of Ricky Skaggs and the six members of Kentucky Thunder, the stage of the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino was clearly set Friday for an evening of bluegrass music.
Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth. But there in the middle of the stage was an unusual addition to bluegrass tradition: a grand piano and its own experimental master, Bruce Hornsby. »Read Full Article

Corliss Estates Red Wine 2009
$79.95 Regular
94+ Wine Advocate: "A big, rich and stacked effort, Corliss�s 2010 Columbia Valley Red Wine (made as a Red Mountain AVA wine in this vintage) has awesome density and concentration to go with ripe notes of cassis, black cherries, smoked earth and crushed rocks. There�s a lot of fruit here (surprising in the vintage), but it shows more and more tannic grip and underlying structure with time in the glass. Seeing 30 months in new and used French oak, it has the texture and polish to drink beautifully today, but I think it will be even better with short-term cellaring, and have upward of two decades of overall longevity."
2009 vintage, 94 points Wine Advocate: "The 2009 Red Wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec. It exhibits up-front, ripe aromas and flavors of black raspberry, chocolate ganache, black currants, lead pencil and toast to go with full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. More rounded, up-front and approachable than the straight Cabernet release, it's a sexy, hard-to-resist red to enjoy over the coming decade or more."
Previous vintage notes: Wine Advocate 94+ points: "Just about as good, the Bordeaux blend 2008 Corliss is comprised of 34% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec that spent 30 months in 65% new French oak. Almost a meal on its own, it has full, rich aromas and flavors of currants, smoked herbs, milk chocolate and potpourri to go with a full-bodied, beautifully textured and balanced palate. Youthfully structured and tannic, it needs another 1-2 years of bottle age and will keep for 10-15 years. Drink 2015-2023."
Silky and sappy, billowing Amarena cherry and concentrated raspberry, with blue fruit underpinnings and chocolate shavings towards the finish. Andy and I love this wine; it is one of our top 5 Washington reds. We like that it's a more approachable than the Cab because hey, we're better at drinking wine than we are at cellaring wine. - Marcus
2007 vintage notes: This red absolutely floored me - in fact, I preferred it to the Cab, perhaps because it is drinking so beautifully right now. Supple and voluminous, with cassis and loganberry cascading across your palate. Nuances of cedar, sage, iron and baker's chocolate round out this damn near perfect red wine. The two best Washington reds I've tried all year: Figgins 09 and Corliss 07. I highly, highly recommend it. - Marcus
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (34%), Merlot (33%), Petit Verdot (19%), Malbec (9%) and Cabernet Franc (5%) from The Corliss vineyard in the Red Mountain AVA and a scattering of other area vineyards. Generous and approachable, the wine has the Red Mountain hallmark of dusty cocoa and chocolate in scent and taste.
2006 Wine Advocate - 94 points - The 2006 Red is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petit Verdot aged in 73% new oak for 33 months. This loaded effort delivers a sexy concoction of toasty oak, exotic spices, and assorted black fruits that titillates the nose. Deftly combining power and elegance, it should see its 20th birthday in peak form.

Make sure you take the turkey out of the fridge ahead of time so that it comes up to room temperature. Oven temperatures can vary so keep an eye on your turkey and use a meat thermometer to check when it's done - as long as it's over 72C, you're fine. Don't forget to rest your turkey for best results, so take it out of the oven when it's ready, cover it loosely with foil and set aside while you cook the trimmings.
Get ahead by preparing red cabbage and bread sauce the day before, then just reheat for Christmas dinner. Have a make ahead starter ready to go so it's one less thing to think about on the day.
Most of all, remember to relax and enjoy yourself! Have a glass of fizz all round.

This is something that I wanna know...What are "Shippings" ?? For example: Advanceshipping, Rangershipping...
November 3rd, 2006, 10:12 AM
I believe that they're basically just pairings between different characters, and the fans give each one their own names and stuff. Such as Pokeshipping (Misty x Ash), Advanceshipping (May x Ash), etc.
I've personally never gotten into them too much... so I don't know much about them. I like Ash and Misty together, but that's kind of it. Someone else could probably give you more information than I can, but I still decided to post. XD
November 3rd, 2006, 10:17 AM
I wondered something about pairings...But...They usually are false pairs, right ??
And what do you mean with "give each one their own names", please ?? You mean that "Mrs-So-and-So" calls Misty "Mrs-So-and-So" ??
Thanks :D ;)

Well, I guess that in a lot of cases they're just made up by the fans... the Pokémon anime doesn't really have much romance in it, as we all know. XD There are still several episodes that hint at the possibility of certain pairings, though, so I guess that a lot of fans have fun with that.
Oh, and I'm just talking about names given for the different shippings--like "Pokeshipping", for example. It's just what people call the Ash and Misty pairing. ^_^ There are names for tons of other different pairings... I'm not sure where to find a list of them, though.

Oh my, this is really weird xD
Well, thank you for all your help :D

Yeah, it's very confusing... That's why I don't really bother to get into them that much! I have a lot of trouble remembering all of the different names and stuff.
But anyway, you're welcome! Hopefully someone will come along who can explain it better than me, though. XD

I hope those links help you out a bit. I don't know if Rangershipping is on the list already, though... Somewhere I heard it was about Kazuki x Hinata, wonder who the heck they are... XD;;

Kazuki and Hinata are the Japanese names for the 2 protoganists of Pokemon Ranger. oO (Their English names are Lunick and Solana)
The term "Shipping" is short for "Relationshipping," which means pairing two characters together, and basically what Kayleigh said. ^^ The shipping can be anything (yuri, yaoi, het). When naming a shipping/pairing, you usually think of something the 2 characters have in common. For example, May x Drew is called Contestshipping, because they both enter contests. Kazuki x Hinata is called Rangershipping, because they are both Pokemon rangers. Ash x May is called Advanceshipping, because they are both from the Advanced Generation season of Pokemon. I hope that cleared everything up for you. ^^
