Date of Stay: April, 2010
While making the reservations for our short stay during the Easter Break the staff on the phone was very helpful. They asked what part of the campground I would like to be at and I joked about the pool area not thinking the pool would be open that early in the season. The pool opened Good Friday and was told my site would be near the pool. When checking in staff acted like I did not even have reservations. They looked at there site map trying to find a large enough site for my 32' 5th wheel. The staff was more concerned with a club arriving the day I was leaving, three days later. I was given a site on Badlands Gulch where the hook-ups looked like they were an after thought. I needed over 30' of hoses and cords to supply my unit and could not dump my tanks until the last morning and pulled the trailer up. The Campground is large and open with very little shaded sites. The roads are paved but some areas could be a wider. The sites themselves are level with gravel spots that are very close to your neighbors. The bath house was very large and clean. The pool area had 2 pools and an indoor hot tub. The store was very large with all kinds of trailer and camping needs. It also had many different gifts from the area. The food and personal needs area is small. The mini golf is a 10 hole course that is in the need of replacement not over hauling. The Metro has a bus stop near the office/store that will take you to the Metro rail line, just beware the buying and all day pass in the office. They don't inform you that the pass starts after 9:30am, arrived at the rail line at 8:45am to find this fact out.

This was our second, but hopefully not our last, visit to Lake George Escape. The name says it all. This is truly a great escape for a weekend or a week's vacation. The roads are a mix of dirt and asphalt, wide enough for all size rigs. Sites will meet the needs of all campers from tenter to full time RVers. The camping store has everything that you need for your stay. The shelves are well stocked with food, camping needs, and souvenirs. They have check-in down to a science. All staff members are friendly and helpful. There is an activity shop that handles all the events from arts & crafts, family sports, and equipment loans & rentals. There is so much to do here for campers of all ages. Their activities start around 8 am and go all day until about 9 pm. With all they have to offer you may not want or have to leave the campground. There are two heated pools one for the little campers and one for the bigger campers. The pools have 2 times set aside for adult swim. There is a café and bar near the pool. The café has $2.00 breakfast every morning which is a buffet with muffins, eggs, potatoes, sausage or bacon, French toast or pancakes and juice. You can't beat the value! There are a few showers/restrooms throughout the campground, all cleaned throughout the day. The laundry room is clean with newer coin operated washers & driers. There is an arcade with a few games of change to collect tickets and win small items. If I had one complaint it would be their mini golf; it is a 9 hole course that is very out dated and needs of some TLC.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
This was our first stay at the Wawaloam Campground. We stayed over the Father's Day Weekend from Saturday through Tuesday. Wish Mother Nature was nicer to us; that would be our only complaint. You are always a little leery going to a new campground. We found this campground solely by RV Park Review. Most of the reviews were good but they give you just a small idea about the place. Our experience with Wawaloam Campground was a great one from making the reservation to heading home. All the employees are friendly and hospitable. We made a few phones calls to ask little questions about the campground and each time the person was informative. Arriving we where met at the office by a very helpful person who checked us in and gave us information about the area. The roads are a mix of paved and dirt, all wide enough for big rigs. Driving to our site I was amazed by the sizes of the sites. Being in one of the smallest states in the Union, they sure do give the largest camp sites, not just the seasonal sites but the transient sites too. Our site was unbelievable large; most other campground would have tried to make 2 or squeeze 3 sites on the same area. The store was a nice size having many campers' needs for your stay. Their food selection could have been larger. One of our only complaints would be that the store had no hours during the week. When we stopped in the store, the workers were young ladies. All of the girls were very friendly, helpful, and happy. The campground has a large swimming pool, water slide and one of the best mini-golf courses I have seen at a campground. We have camped from Maine to Florida, East Coast to West and this is one of our top 10 if not top 5 campgrounds we have stayed at.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This is a small Campground open all year in South Jersey. This is our second time staying here, both in the off season of camping. We live near by and used it for a shake down run to start off our year, since there is a Camping World about 10 minutes away. The staff was friendly and helpful when making the reservations and checking in. There is no real store here but they do sell a small selection camping items. The Campground has a pool, fishing pond, small arcade and a batting cage. All sites are level and some with concrete pads. The ones in the front of the campground are a bit small and close together with very little shade. There are larger shaded sites in the back on the other side of the fishing pond. Bath House was clean with a laundry.
Date of Stay: April, 2008
Last May we stayed here and rated it a little higher (7). The sites were large and shaded than. They are adding more sites, seasonal the way they look, on the top of the hill by cutting down most of the trees. Until the sites are finished then old sites are undefined and confusing. This trip we camped with 5 other families. One of them had to be move because of the confusion. Another had people driving golf carts and cars through his site. The store is a little small and poorly stocked for the beginning of the season. The bath house on the top hill was clean but aged.
Date of Stay: March, 2008
We have been camping for 14 years and have traveled from Maine to Florida and New Jersey to California. This Campground is the biggest place we have ever stayed at. Our stay was for the week of Easter. You would think that a place so big would not take the time or go the extra mile to make sure your stay was happy. But from the time you arrive at the Front Desk you can just see how well the place is ran. The young man that checked us in was had my wife laughing after being in our truck for 11 hours. The site was wide and level with all hook-ups conveniently placed. They even had a 25 ft cable for you. The campground had a large list of services on the property; RV Center, Property rentals, golf carts rentals, Snack-bar, very large Laundromat, Rec. Center, game room, pools, (indoor heated pool) and propane delivery. All areas were clean with friendly staff. Also the store here was like walking into a super campground store, if you could not find it there, you did not need it. About the bath houses, my youngest stated that they were the cleanest she has ever seen. The only down side to this campground was; the Security and the band of disrespectful young people roaming and riding on golf carts. The park posts they have 24 hour Security. During the day you see older police cars riding around, but at night I do not remember seeing them. The young people speeding and cruising through at night , (in cars, trucks & golf carts), was like being in down town Myrtle Beach on Friday night. We had our cooler, yes full of soda, beer and wine, and my fishing tackle box stolen from our site between 7 pm and 8:30 pm. This was the first thing I have ever had stolen from us since starting camping. When I spoke to Security they made it seem that it is a regular occurrence. I also spoke with a fellow camper 3 site away whose cooler was also taken. He told me that 4 coolers were taken that night. We hope to return but we will bring extra bike locks.
Date of Stay: November, 2007
This is my second stay here in 18 months. My first stay was soon after the new owner started. Glad to see not much has changed since my last stay. The owner is very helpful and friendly, along with the staff. They truly want to make sure your stay with them and around Gettysburg is enjoyable. New to the campground is a cafe open in the summer for breakfast and lunch. Sites are all gravel and fairly level.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
For a newly renovated campground you think it would receive all 9's and 10's, but not at this campground. We tried to make reservations at their sister campground the Mt. Desert Narrows, a family campground, we were told that there were no sites available with electric, water and sewer. They told us that we would be just as happy with their other campground the New Narrows Too. They have built all new sites, Store, Bath House and Activity Center. The Too stands for too much money for their sites and activities. I guess they want to recoup their investment all in one or two seasons. When checking in, their staff asked us to walk down to check the site to see if we would be happy in it, that should have been the first clue of the things to come. The site they wanted to put us on would have had a nice view of the bay, but we would have been tripping over the water and electric hook ups at the next site. The site we picked and moved to was along and between the almost only trees in the campground. When asking the staff questions about anything they would look at us like we were the first person to ever ask any question. The store is the worse stocked store I have ever seen in my past 10 years of camping. You would be better off going down the road to the small IGA or the Wal-Mart. The camp fires they want you to enjoy is a Community Fire, very nice way to meet new people, but not enough firewood. I spoke to the staff about what if you needed more firewood, their answer was to walk to the other fire pits not being use to get the wood placed there. Their activities start and end when the staff wants them to not when they are scheduled to. Families stay far away from this one, nothing for kids to do here. Found out by a past guest that when they added all the new sites, they bulldozed over the mini-golf. All their play ground has to offer is a kid power merry-go-round and a ball catch. Oh yeah the pool does have two slides and is heated, the only good thing about this campground. They promote that they have a shuttle to Bar Harbor and the area, but the truth be told, it is operated by LL Bean. The bus takes over an hour for a 25 minute ride stopping at every campground in and around Bar Harbor, not just their two campgrounds.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Not the biggest campground but truly the friendliest. From the call to reserve your campsite to the time you leave, you are treated more the just a customer. The owners truly want to make sure your stay with them is a good one. We needed to borrow a tool to fix our vehicle and the owners not only let us use it, but delivered it to our campsite. Sites are spaced out and wide. Could be a little deeper but that is the only thing wrong with our stay. Pool was heated and cleaned every morning. Store was nicely stocked with just the necessities any camper needed.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
Lots of seasonal sites at this Campground. We arrived before check-in which was not a problem. Our reservations were for on top of the hill in the wooded area. After exploring the campground we were glad we changed our site to lower field. Sites in the woods were small and cramped. Sites in the field were very large. Saving point for this campground were the staff. All were very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our tow vehicle and staff was willing to open the tool shed for me.
Date of Stay: May, 2007
Arrived at campground and was met by friendly staff. Large campground with most sites having large near level gravel sites. Nice place for families has mulitable playgrounds, fishing pond and crafts.
Date of Stay: April, 2007
Have been camping at Blueberry Hill for on and off for over 7 years. We have camped in everything their from a pop-up to our now 5th wheel. We always have enjoyed staying there because of the friend staff and owners. This year after making reservation we found out it was under new management since our last stay. I have been to other place after new management or corporate run, and they seem to lost something in the change of ownership. Glad to see that the place did not change much. The staff is still helpful and friendly. The sites are sill well kept and the Bath House still clean.
Date of Stay: April, 2007
Used this campground for a Co-Workers trip to Antietam National Battle Field. Arrived to find the Staff friendly and helpful, grounds to be clean and well kept. Camp site was to be river front, but due to past rain staff moved our site to a bit smaller site up hill and drier. Would return with my family if ever in the area again.

Gillian Anderson may snub X Files film sequel
Subscribe to Filmibeat
"It took a while for Gillian to establish a career for herself outside the X Files and she's now enjoying her acting more than ever before," the Daily Express quoted a source as saying. "She's very proud of The X Files but feels her career has now moved on to a different phase," the source added.
Gillian, who plays the FBI Special Agent Dana Scully in the cult TV show, previously confessed that it had been tough getting out of The X Files stereotype. She said: "While I was doing it I imagined it wouldn't possibly typecast me but it does to a certain degree."

The Deal
- $59 for one orthodontic evaluation, impression kit, 3-D treatment plan, and your first set of aligners ($95 value)
- Additional 20% off an Invisible Aligners purchase
At SmileDirectClub, patients achieve beautiful smiles in three steps. After the orthodontic evaluation, a board-certified, state-licensed dentist or orthodontist assesses the patient's needs and develops a customized treatment plan. Patients then begin wearing custom-made clear plastic aligners that gradually shift teeth into a desired position from the comfort and convenience of their home.
The result: straighter teeth and a brighter smile in as little as 3 to 14 months, depending on the necessary treatment. And every three weeks, a patient care specialist schedules a virtual check-in to discuss progress and answer any questions.

An evaluation of the pattern and structure mathematics awareness program in the early school years
Mulligan, Joanne, English, Lyn D., Mitchelmore, Mike, Welsby, Sara, & Crevensten, Nathan (2011) An evaluation of the pattern and structure mathematics awareness program in the early school years. In Clark, Julie, Kissane, Barry, Mousley, Judith, Spencer, Toby, & Thornton, Steve (Eds.) Proceedings of the AAMT-MERGA Conference 2011, The Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers Inc. & Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Alice Springs, pp. 548-556.
Published Version
(PDF 890kB)
This paper reports a 2-year longitudinal study on the effectiveness of the Pattern and Structure Mathematical Awareness Program (PASMAP) on students' mathematical development. The study involved 316 Kindergarten students in 17 classes from four schools in Sydney and Brisbane. The development of the PASA assessment interview and scale are presented. The intervention program provided explicit instruction in mathematical pattern and structure that enhanced the development of students' spatial structuring, multiplicative reasoning, and emergent generalisations. This paper presents the initial findings of the impact of the PASMAP and illustrates students' structural development.

New Delhi: Despite providing one of the finest education in the world, Indian cities still do not stand anywhere in the global ranking of best cities for students.
The QS Best Student Cities places Paris on top followed by London, for the number of universities they have, quality of living, employer activity, affordability and student mix.
According to the Independent, QS World University Rankings, take into account cities which must have a population of over 250,000 and must have at least two ranked institutions in the QS World University Rankings.
The top cities in the world considered best for the students include:
1. Paris

And indeed, it was. However, its production was halted and the tablet was scrapped. This is now official, as a sentence in the company's earnings report, released yesterday, clearly states that there's been a "decision to not ship a new form factor [of the Surface]. " Reportedly, this decision came from CEO Satya Nadella and VP Stephen Elop, who both felt that the small tablet just doesn't have enough unique features to compete in an already saturated market.
We can see how Microsoft is being extremely careful with their steps, since the Surface RT was such a flop, costing the company $900 million in unsold hardware. Trying to remedy those losses by entering the mini tablet's killer-bee hive is probably not the best idea, especially since Windows devices are yet to establish a firm foothold in the mobile market. Perhaps next year, then?

New York City Update: The Best New Spots
We just spent 72-hours in the city—and ate and shopped our way through as many neighborhoods as possible. Here, the new-ish spots we're most excited about.
Sharktooth111 Grand St., Williamsburg | 718.451.2233
Devoted solely to antique textiles—from overdyed quilts, to Khamseh and Turkish Milas rugs—the pieces here are clearly hard-won, and very reasonably priced considering their quality and provenance. Whether redecorating, or just hunting for ideas, this is one of those spots that offers inspiration in spades.
Dover Street Market160 Lexington Ave., Murray Hill | 646.837.7750
Spanning seven narrow stories in Murray Hill (yes, Murray Hill), Dover Street Market is like a fair funhouse for fashion: Every nook, cranny, and balcony is lined with some of the most inspiring shopping set dressing in New York City. You'd expect nothing less from Rei Kawakubo, the founder of Comme des Garçons, who has an eye for the most cutting-edge labels around. Like its counterparts in London and Tokyo, DSM boasts a Rose Bakery, making this the sort of place where you can literally spend five hours.
La Garconne465 Greenwich St., Tribeca | 646.553.3303
Slick and all-white, the loft-y space is dotted with wooden racks, filled with all the greatest hits from the popular website, including cutting-edge tailoring from Yohji Yamamoto, Grecian dresses from Zero + Maria Cornejo, and feminine skirts and dresses from Simone Rocha.

So far the only compound crossbow that I can find that can be decocked without discharging it is the Stryker. Does anyone know of any other compound crossbow that can be decocked using the cocking device.
So far the only compound crossbow that I can find that can be decocked without discharging it is the Stryker. Does anyone know of any other compound crossbow that can be decocked using the cocking device.
All of them can be done, but with varying degrees of danger.
With rope cocking aids:
Excalibur, Horton, Barnett do not have anti-dry-fire systems, so no problem. Hang on tightly.
Parker, Ten Point need to have an arrow loaded to allow the trigger to disengage, so in order to uncock them you have to have an arrow (or more accurately, a piece of an arrow) in the mechanism. EXTREMELY UNSAFE in the event that something lets go - you get an arrow through the foot. Don't try it on these bows that have the anti-dry-fire mechanisms.
With cranks: Not recommended on any bow, since you have to disengage the ratchet and if your hand slips, bad things will happen.
Hows about the stryker it says on the description that the crank for cocking the bow can also be used to decock the bow.
Shoot it................
what is the big deal with just shooting it. Before I get out of my stand I just load a arrow with a field tip, pick out a leaf on the ground and double lung it.
I do it with the Phoenix and Vortex. I've also done it with my 150 Terminator. The piece of arrow (or dowel of same diameter) to deactivate the anti dryfire device needs to be only several inches long (from the string to the device) , I don't consider it a threat to my foot if "something goes wrong." The only bow I know of that one can't do it with is the two-safety Ten Point, which requires 3 hands.
The problem with just shooting it is that often it's dark at that time. After losing 2 arrows in the grass, I'm prone to let it down. Just not my Cyclone, those short limbs store too much energy. Guess I could use the crank cocker but that IS too much trouble.
The problem I have with shooting the bow to uncock it is more of a safety issue. First off most of the crossbow hunting I do is in late november and december and temperatures at that time of the year are usually 0-20 degrees faren. which means the ground is frozen, and there is usually a foot or two of snow, so I would either shatter the bolt if it is carbon or bend it if it is aluminum and would probably never find it in the snow (now I usually hunt twice a day every day sometimes, this would be a nuisance having to damage or look for bolts twice a day). Others have also suggested keeping a bag or block in the truck and unload it into that, which is a safety regulation in our area. I have been ticketed by the MNR for having my crossbow cocked while at my truck after a hunt, (the law here states that you cannot possess a loaded weapon which if its cocked its loaded, 50m from any road, which is where I usually park). These are the main reasons I would like to be able to decock the bow without firing, to me it is like having to fire my muzzleloader in order to unload it, it just is'nt pratical.
I carry a small 18" bag target in my truck exclusively for dischargeing my bow. It's light, easy to carry, throw out and shoot. Saves looking for arrows and the hassle of uncocking the bow.
Life is too short to carry an ugly knife! Hidden Content
I have yet to find a crossbow that couldn't be let down with a rope aid, those without a anti dryfire can be simply let down by hanging on to one side of the rope and pull the trigger then let down even the 225lbs recurve are quite easy. The ones with dryfire features I simply use a piece of tape over the latch and let down as usual, this eliminates the use of an arow to discharge. This will be important for us in Ontario that shoot tournaments as soon you will need to show that it you can discharge the bow without shooting it.
Would you not need to hold both ends of the rope and then press the trigger to let down, how is the pull from full letoff to instant full draw weight. My only experience is with excal. and I have no problem letting down on an exomag using just my hands just like I do with my exocet, but I have full draw weight the moment I pull back on the string and then use my thumb to trigger the bow, and the let down is smooth and safe.
There is a video demonstrating how to do it on the excal site. It can be found at the end of the "Rope Cocking Video" Here is the address http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/dem...category_id=47
I let my Exocet down after every hunt with the cocking rope. Once you have done it you won't do it any other way.
Legal shooting hours for one of the states I hunt end at sunset and a cocked xbow is considered a loaded weapon. I hunt until sunset, uncock the xbow, and then I walk out. The ground here would destroy my arrows and if I used a bag target I would have to end my hunt early to go out to the truck an shoot an arrow.

i do the same as griz,got a bag in the back of the truck,shoot it ,im done and still have all my arrows.
I tried that once...I could then be a safe cracker as I had no finger prints left..Would you not need to hold both ends of the rope and then press the trigger to let down, how is the pull from full letoff to instant full draw weight. My only experience is with excal. and I have no problem letting down on an exomag using just my hands just like I do with my exocet, but I have full draw weight the moment I pull back on the string and then use my thumb to trigger the bow, and the let down is smooth and safe.
A stack of cats should help with firing in rocky areas.
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
**Mark *9:23 *KJV
When you uncock via rope cocker properly, you are only holding one "T" handle, the other is tight against the hook and rail. The friction of the rope sliding in the groove as the string is let down does a lot toward lessening the required effort. I mistakenly assumed the process would entail the same effort as cocking, and it's no where near that.
I picked up a rinehart vital section at a 3d shoot for free this summer. Thats what my Dad uses, small and effective. Oh yeah free also!!
Hey, John5 if the ticket you got for having the crossbow loaded after dark had no bolt in it, I would fight it as it states very clear in the regs that a cocked crossbow with no bolt is not considered loaded. If it is out of the case then he can take issue with that as all archery equipment is considered a firearm under the fish and game act. That means it must be in a case or zippered cover between 1/2 hour after sundown and 1/2 hour before sunrise.
A vertical bow is considered loaded if it has an arrow nocked on the string.
John, I just checked the regs again to be sure and it states........
"A crossbow is considered to be loaded if the bow is cocked and there is a bolt in the crossbow".
This is clear that two things are needed to be considered loaded, cocked with a bolt in it. A crossbow cocked without a bolt is NOT considered loaded under the above language.
Decocking a Crossbow
As promised, let me introduce "The Decocker" the first decocking accessory that will allow you to decock without firing a bolt, or dryfiring and damaging your bow. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgMeGC4sKpA

A Poor Wise Man HTML version
Chapter 17
But there was a truce for a time. Lily came and went without interference, and
without comment. Nothing more was said about Newport. She motored on bright
days to the country club, lunched and played golf or tennis, rode along the
country lanes with Pink Denslow, accepted such invitations as came her way
cheerfully enough but without enthusiasm, and was very gentle to her mother.
But Mademoiselle found her tense and restless, as though she were waiting.
And there were times when she disappeared for an hour or two in the afternoons,
proffering no excuses, and came back flushed, and perhaps a little frightened.
On the evenings that followed those small excursions she was particularly gentle
to her mother. Mademoiselle watched and waited for the blow she feared was
about to fall. She felt sure that the girl was seeing Louis Akers, and that she
would ultimately marry him. In her despair she fell back on Willy Cameron and
persuaded Grace to invite him to dinner. It was meant to be a surprise for Lily,
but she had telephoned at seven o'clock that she was dining at the Doyles'.
It was that evening that Willy Cameron learned that Mr. Hendricks had been right
about Lily. He and Grace dined alone, for Howard was away at a political
conference, and Anthony had dined at his club. And in the morning room after
dinner Grace found herself giving him her confidence.
"I have no right to burden you with our troubles, Mr. Cameron," Grace said, "but
she is so fond of you, and she has great respect for your judgment. If you could
only talk to her about the anxiety she is causing. These Doyles, or rather Mr.
Doyle - the wife is Mr. Cardew's sister - are putting all sorts of ideas into her
head. And she has met a man there, a Mr. Akers, and - I'm afraid she thinks she
is in love with him, Mr. Cameron."
He met her eyes gravely.
"Have you tried not forbidding her to go to the Doyles?"
"I have forbidden her nothing. It is her grandfather."
"Then it seems to be Mr. Cardew who needs to be talked to, doesn't it?" he said.
"I wouldn't worry too much, Mrs. Cardew. And don't hold too tight a rein.
He was very down-hearted when he left. Grace's last words placed a heavy
burden on him.

Ahmedabad, Oct.27 : The annual Pinkathon run in Pune and Mumbai is almost upon us, empowering women across India. It has tracks from 3km all the way to 21km – so anyone can participate. The run drew over 75,000 women runners across India last year and is expected to draw a record crowd this year. Women's safety is so important to Pinkathon's organisers that any woman running the 21km track can get a male "pacer" to run alongside her.
What's new this year is that runners in the Pinkathon marathon can get free access to a number of gyms in their city. "We're set to have the greatest Pinkathon ever this year," said its creator, the famous Milind Soman: "And I'm really excited about the free training these women can receive prior to the run."
Select gyms in all of the Pinkathon cities are participating in this free training program, including in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, New Delhi, Hyderabad, and Chennai (with a possibility that this Pinkathon association will reach as far as Dubai). Runners will benefit from classes that prepare them for the Pinkathon, such as treadathon classes and special outdoor bootcamps.
This no-cost gym access is provided to Pinkathon participants by vario.fitness, a San-Francisco and Ahmedabad based startup that is revolutionizing the gym landscape in India. vario.fitness sells one low-price monthly membership that grants access to a number of the best local gyms and classes – so members can pick and choose the best classes for their individual needs. Vario.fitness is the exclusive training partner of this year's Pinkathon events.
"Whether you're a first-time runner or a seasoned pro, this extra pre-run boost will help you have a stronger and safer run," says Dinesh Hinduja, CEO of vario.fitness.
Runners can use the participating gyms for free up to the date of their local Pinkathon this year if they sign up for Pinkathon online at least a week prior to the race. No commitment or prior registration is necessary. To find out which gyms around you are participating, download the vario.fitness app here, available on Google Android Play Store and Apple iOS itunes App Store. (ANI)

One of America's wealthiest black counties, Prince George's County in Maryland, botched the diplomas of more than 8,000 of its students, according to ABC News.
The seniors in 23 high schools were shocked to find spelling errors on their diplomas, which read that students had completed an "approved progam of study" at their high schools, omitting the R from the word program.
"We sincerely apologize to our students and our parents," said PGCPS spokesman Briant Coleman. Coleman went on to say that the misspellings were an "oversight" by both PGCPS officials and the printing office.
The Washington Post reported that "the county paid $15,750 for the botched diplomas and an additional $6,587.50 for other certificates and shipping costs."

Identification of early-stage colorectal cancer patients at risk of relapse post-resection by immunobead reverse transcription-PCR analysis of peritoneal lavage fluid for malignant cells
Lloyd, Julia, McIver, Cassandra, Stephenson, Sally-Anne, Hewett, Peter, Rieger, Nicholas, & Hardingham, Jennifer (2006) Identification of early-stage colorectal cancer patients at risk of relapse post-resection by immunobead reverse transcription-PCR analysis of peritoneal lavage fluid for malignant cells. Clinical Cancer Research, 12(2), pp. 417-423.
View at publisher (open access)
Purpose: Colorectal cancer patients diagnosed with stage I or II disease are not routinely offered adjuvant chemotherapy following resection of the primary tumor. However, up to 10% of stage I and 30% of stage II patients relapse within 5 years of surgery from recurrent or metastatic disease. The aim of this study was to determine if tumor-associated markers could detect disseminated malignant cells and so identify a subgroup of patients with early-stage colorectal cancer that were at risk of relapse. Experimental Design: We recruited consecutive patients undergoing curative resection for early-stage colorectal cancer. Immunobead reverse transcription-PCR of five tumor-associated markers (carcinoembryonic antigen, laminin γ2, ephrin B4, matrilysin, and cytokeratin 20) was used to detect the presence of colon tumor cells in peripheral blood and within the peritoneal cavity of colon cancer patients perioperatively. Clinicopathologic variables were tested for their effect on survival outcomes in univariate analyses using the Kaplan-Meier method. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was done to determine whether detection of tumor cells was an independent prognostic marker for disease relapse. Results: Overall, 41 of 125 (32.8%) early-stage patients were positive for disseminated tumor cells. Patients who were marker positive for disseminated cells in post-resection lavage samples showed a significantly poorer prognosis (hazard ratio, 6.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-19.6; P = 0.002), and this was independent of other risk factors. Conclusion: The markers used in this study identified a subgroup of early-stage patients at increased risk of relapse post-resection for primary colorectal cancer. This method may be considered as a new diagnostic tool to improve the staging and management of colorectal cancer. © 2006 American Association for Cancer Research.

Japanese Beginner Phrases Podcast 10
Beginning Japanese Conversational Phrases #10: Languages & People
Today's podcast will look at how to say nationalities and languages
In many cases to say the word for a country's language and people is simply to add 'go' and 'jin' respectively after the country's name.
Of course this doesn't always work since not every country is named after its language.
Let's look at the United States or America. In Japanese this is
アメリカ amerika
Can you guess how to say an American person?
アメリカ人 amerika jin
But in America we don't speak American we speak English. I remember many years ago when teaching basic English to Japanese elementary school students, the children would often ask if I spoke amerikago. Well, I don't speak amerikago, I speak eigo.
The word for the English language is
英語 eigo
Here is how you say England, the country:
イギリス igirisu
And an English person is
イギリス人 igirisu jin
We will pick up on asking language related questions in the next podcast.

RI Atty. General approves sale of Landmark
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island's attorney general has approved a California-based hospital chain's proposal to buy Landmark Medical Center, including the Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island.
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin said Monday the approval of the sale to Prime Healthcare Services includes some conditions. The state health department gave its approval on Friday.
Prime said it hopes to close the deal Nov. 30 and no later than Dec. 31. Financially troubled Landmark has been in receivership for five years.
Kilmartin said conditions include Prime's transfer of certain charitable assets to the Rhode Island Foundation, and that Prime notify his office of any actions taken against it or any resolution of a federal investigation of its billing. Kilmartin also said the company must inform his office of any future actions taken against it by government entities.

Well, it's yangmei season once again in Shanghai. Known as the Chinese Strawberry, yangmei can be found in the fruit stalls and street vendors all over town this time of year. The furry-looking fruit looks similar to a lychee at first glace but is dark red in colour. Tasting somewhere between a strawberry and a raspberry the yangmei is sweet with a touch of tang. Saying I think they're hao chi (delicious) is an understatement – my local dealer's face lights up everytime he sees me…
What: Yangmei (Chinese: 杨梅; pinyin: yángméi) Also known as waxberry, Chinese Bayberry, Japanese Bayberry, Red Bayberry, Chinese Strawberry
Where: Fruit stores, grocery stores, street vendors
How much: I've been paying around 10RMB for 1 Jin (almost half a kilo I think)
Update: Thanks to Dingle Speaks for his notable warnings about the yangmei I speak highly of. Used to speak highly of….
While the berry could easily be substituted for a raspberry or strawberry in recipes I'm keen to find out if the yangmei would work in cocktails:
Yangmei Mojito
- Fresh Yangmei (instead of Lime)
- Mint
- White Rum
- Sugar
- Soda Water
Mixed with Ice and served
Shanghai Manhattan
- Yangmei flavoured Baijiu
- Whiskey
- Bitters
- Garnished with a Yangmei
All shaken and strained
Yangmei Martini
- Yangmei juice or yangmei flavored Baijiu (depending on personal taste)
- Cointreau
- Vodka
Shaken and strained
Shanghai Sea Breeze
- Vodka
- Fresh yanmei juice
- Cranberry juice
- Dash of lime cordial (if wanted)

Houses of the Holy
|Houses of the Holy
|Studio album by Led Zeppelin
|28 March 1973
|December 1971 – August 1972[1]
|Jimmy Page
|Led Zeppelin chronology
|Singles from Houses of the Holy
Houses of the Holy is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 28 March 1973 by Atlantic Records. It is their first album composed of entirely original material and it represents a turning point in musical direction for the band, who had begun to record songs with more layering and production techniques.
Containing some of the band's most famous songs, including "The Song Remains the Same", "The Rain Song", and "No Quarter", Houses of the Holy became a commercial success, and was later certified 11x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1999.[2] In 2012, the album was ranked at #148 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The title track was originally recorded for the album, but was delayed until the release of band's next album Physical Graffiti in 1975.
Recording sessions[edit]
Much of the album was recorded in Spring 1972 using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio at Stargroves, a manor house and country estate in Hampshire county, England.[1][3] Some songs from the album had initially been tried out earlier than this, such as "No Quarter", which was first attempted during a session at Headley Grange Estate, in East Hampshire.[4]
Several of the songs were produced as demos at the personal studios of guitarist Jimmy Page and bass player/keyboardist John Paul Jones. Having recently installed these studios in their homes, it enabled them to finish the arrangements which had been laid down earlier. In particular, Page was able to present complete arrangements of "The Rain Song" and "Over the Hills and Far Away", while Jones had developed "No Quarter".[4]
Another bout of recording took place at Olympic Studios in May 1972, and during the band's 1972 North American tour additional recording sessions were conducted at Electric Lady Studios in New York.[4]
Some songs which were recorded from these various sessions did not make it onto Houses of the Holy, namely "Black Country Woman", "Walter's Walk", "The Rover", and also the would-be title-track, "Houses of the Holy". All of these songs were retained and later released on subsequent Led Zeppelin albums.
This is the last album recorded by the band to feature Robert Plant singing in his trademark high vocal range due to subsequent damage to his vocal chords.[citation needed]
This album was a stylistic turning point in the lifespan of Led Zeppelin. Guitar riffs became more layered within Page's production techniques and departed from the blues influences of earlier records. In the album's opening opus, "The Song Remains the Same", and its intricate companion suite, "The Rain Song", Robert Plant's lyrics matured toward a less overt form of the mysticism and fantasy of previous efforts. Houses of the Holy also featured styles not heard on the first four Led Zeppelin albums. For example, "D'yer Mak'er" is a reggae-based tune (the name of the song being derived from the phonetic spelling of a British pronunciation of "Jamaica"); "No Quarter" features atmospheric keyboard sounds and an acoustic piano solo from Jones; "The Crunge" is a funk tribute; and "The Rain Song" is embellished by Jones on his newly acquired Mellotron.[4] The album's closing song "The Ocean", which features an a cappella section and a doo-wop influenced coda, is dedicated to "the ocean" of fans who were massing to Led Zeppelin concerts at this point of the band's career. Subsequently, one view is that the title "Houses of the Holy" refers to the massive venues they played full of their adoring fans. However, when Page was asked about the significance of the title in a Sirius XM interview in New York City 7 Nov. 2014, he responded, "It's about all of us being houses of the Holy Spirit, in a sense."
According to Led Zeppelin archivist Dave Lewis:
In retrospect, 'Houses of the Holy' holds its ground with the middle period releases quite admirably. The barnstorming effect of the early era was now levelling off and though devoid of the electricity of 'Led Zeppelin I' and 'II', or the sheer diversity of the third album, and lacking the classic status of the fourth, 'Houses' took stock of their situation. In doing so, it laid several foundations on which they would expand their future collective musical aspirations.[4]
Album sleeve design[edit]
The cover art for Houses of the Holy was inspired by the ending of Arthur C. Clarke's novel Childhood's End. The cover is a collage of several photographs which were taken at the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland, by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis. This location was chosen ahead of an alternative one in Peru which was being considered.[4]
The two children who modelled for the cover were siblings Stefan and Samantha Gates.[5] The photo shoot was a frustrating affair over the course of ten days. Shooting was done first thing in the morning and at sunset in order to capture the light at dawn and dusk, but the desired effect was never achieved due to constant rain and clouds. The photos of the two children were taken in black and white and were multi-printed to create the effect of 11 individuals that can be seen on the album cover. The results of the shoot were less than satisfactory, but some accidental tinting effects in post-production created an unexpectedly striking album cover.[4] The inner sleeve photograph was taken at Dunluce Castle nearby the Causeway.
In February 2010, Stefan Gates presented a half-hour BBC Radio 4 documentary entitled Stefan Gates's Cover Story, about his part in the making of the album cover. Gates claimed in the documentary to have felt there was something sinister about the image, although his sister disagreed. He also admitted never having heard the album. The programme ended with Gates returning to Giant's Causeway and listening to the album on a portable player, after which he claimed that a great weight had been lifted from him.
Like Led Zeppelin's fourth album, neither the band's name nor the album title was printed on the sleeve. However, manager Peter Grant did allow Atlantic Records to add a wrap-around paper title band to US and UK copies of the sleeve that had to be broken or slid off to access the record.[4] This hid the children's buttocks from general display, but still the album was either banned or unavailable in some parts of the Southern United States for several years.[6]
The first CD release of the album in the 1980s did have the title logos printed on the cover itself.[4]
In 1974, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of best album package. The cover was rated #6 on VH1's 50 Greatest Album Covers in 2003.[7]
Page has stated that the album cover was the second version submitted by Hipgnosis. The first, by artist Storm Thorgerson, featured an electric green tennis court with a tennis racket on it. Furious that Thorgerson was implying their music sounded like a "racket", the band fired him and hired Powell in his place.[8] Thorgerson did, however, go on to produce the album artwork for Led Zeppelin's subsequent albums Presence and In Through the Out Door.

This was Led Zeppelin's final studio release on Atlantic Records before forming their own label, Swan Song Records, in 1974. It was also the only Led Zeppelin album that contained complete printed lyrics for each song.
The epic scale suited Zeppelin: They had the largest crowds, the loudest rock songs, the most groupies, the fullest manes of hair. Eventually excess would turn into bombast, but on Houses, it still provided inspiration.
Although intended for release in January 1973, delays in producing the album cover meant that it was not released until March, when the band was on its 1973 European tour. The album was promoted heavily before the commencement of Led Zeppelin's subsequent North American Tour, ensuring that it had ascended the top of the American chart by the beginning of the tour. Because much of the album had been recorded almost a year previously, many of the songs which are featured on the album had already been played live by Led Zeppelin on their concert tours of North America, Japan, Europe and the UK in 1972–73.[4]
Upon its release, the album received some mixed reviews,[22] with much criticism from the music press being directed at the off-beat nature of tracks such as "The Crunge" and "D'yer Mak'er". However, the album was very successful commercially, entering the UK chart at number one, while in America its 39-week run (two of them spent at #1) on the Billboard Top 40 was their longest since their third album.[4]
In 2012, the album was ranked #148 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

The day after President Obama issued a call for bipartisan cooperation in Congress in his fifth State of the Union address, a powerful Democratic senator thumbed his nose at the White House regarding a matter enjoying significant bipartisan support and which could help boost the U.S. economy.
But perhaps because it doesn't fit the "Republicans are obstructionists" narrative, ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) announcing his strong opposition to President Obama's call for Congress extending him fast-track negotiations on free-trade agreements.
Here's how the Wall Street Journal's William Maudlin and Siobhan Hughes opened their January 30 front-page story, "Reid Deals Body Blow To Obama On Trade" (emphasis mine):
WASHINGTON—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid broke publicly with the White House Wednesday on trade policy, instantly imperiling two major international trade deals and punching a hole in one piece of the economic agenda the president outlined in his State of the Union address a day earlier.
Mr. Reid told reporters he opposed legislation aimed at smoothing the passage of free-trade agreements, a vital component to negotiating any deal, and pointedly said supporters should back down.
"I'm against fast track," Mr. Reid (D., Nev.) said, using the shorthand term for legislation that prevents overseas trade agreements from being amended during the congressional approval process. "I think everyone would be well-advised just not to push this right now."
The move spells trouble for two sets of complicated talks, one with the European Union and the other with countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Both deals likely would have required such a "fast track" approval to clear the Congress. The U.S.'s negotiating partners wouldn't likely commit to a final agreement that could be unpopular back home without assurances that it couldn't be modified by U.S. lawmakers.
Mr. Reid declined to say whether he would stop fast-track legislation from coming up for a Senate floor vote, but other senators said his opposition was important. "You can kiss any new trade deals goodbye," said Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas.) "I think the majority leader's focus is on the November elections and he doesn't want to expose his vulnerable members to controversial votes." Added Gary Hufbauer, senior trade expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington: "It's a one-two punch against trade policy," he said.
Mr. Reid's comments amplified a fight within the Democratic Party over trade at a surprising moment. Mr. Obama said in the State of the Union speech that fast-track authority and the trade deals would help boost hiring at small businesses, which he said account for 98% of U.S. exporters. Mr. Reid's opposition places him as the leader among Democrats who contend trade deals are bad for U.S. workers.
Reid has long served as the president's chief yes-man in the Senate, ever doing the White House's bidding, so this stand of defiance from the party line is, accordingly, newsworthy. It doesn't, however, conveniently fit the liberal media narrative that Republicans are "do-nothing" obstructionists who oppose the president at every turn.

Mean while...over the pond, we have a very interesting read from the London Times online:smoke23:
"London is becoming a city of vigilantes. The well-off are hiring uniformed guards, and teenagers are arming themselves with knives because no one else is going to defend them."
Americans need to be in constant vigilance of our most fundamental rights's. Our freedoms won't be lost all at once, but piece-meal...chipped away at by well-meaning but thoroughly wrong thinking. A lower-court decision here and some seemingly innocent bill passed there and before you know it you've lost a small sliver of your Freedom. That's how it works, not a giant wave, but a slow constant trickle. Our British cousin's are depending on their Government for security and safety and are getting neither. Other's have stated it and I believe it, "Our second Amendment Right ensures protection of the other Rights." That Right allows me to provide my own security and combined with other like minded, our community, state, and ultimately our Nation.

They may be absent from the history books, but behind every great beard is a diligent beard comb. At just over 3 in. long, this specialized comb is sized for precision, helping you to sculpt and smooth your whiskers without missing a strand. You didn't think Lincoln's chinstrap happened by accident, did you?
The comb is very small (about three inches long). Its size is just fine for the job, though. The teeth are very fine and do a good job of detangling and keeping everything neat looking.
It is not a necessity, as it does not do any job that a normal fine-toothed comb cannot, but it is a luxury to have a small, dedicated beard comb that can get the specific job done.
When ordering this comb I think it was going to be a little bigger with the same size prongs. Maybe I did not look at the picture well but my boyfriend seems to like it regardless. He uses it every morning and said it much better than his old comb so if he is happy then so am I!4
I received the comb in my first Birchbox as a gift. I don't have a beard, but the comb actually work out great for combing and styling my hair. The color was fantastic and the plastic was very high too. I would recommend this comb and if I need another one in the future I will definitely buy this brand.5
