Thanks for helping!
We had two good vegan dishes that were off menu. The staff was excellent (along with the rest of the staff at the resort).
Went with our daughter and food was outstanding. Cooked fresh and presentation was fantastic. staff very attentive and surroundings were fantastic. we were picked up in complimentary tuk tuk and taken to our restaurant . Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants high end Thai food.
The setting, the food, the staff - all fantastic. Just another reason why you should stay at Sri Panwa, it is a total escape! So peaceful and the food and drink was to die for!
Looking for a great place for a pre dinner drink with awesome views and crafted cocktails and then tasty modern Thai food then I can recommend you go to Sri Panwa to the Baba Pool Club for pre dinner drinks and take the hotels Tuk Tuk to Baba Soul Food - great location , tropical ambience with great tunes and...
We stayed at the hotel and went here for dinner our last night in Thailand. It had delicious thai food and was a great way to end our trip.
This place can be recommended for a glass of beer at the sunset, but even a cocktail could be a risk !
The view is beautiful, as well as the setting, but everything ends here.
The menu includes thai cuisine and italian cuisine.
The italian plates where awful, risotto impossible to eat because too salty, lasagna plate without "lasagna", only...
Excellent view and food.
Not too much expensive.
You must try it was a great experience i'll come here again of course
The food is prepared fresh and is delish! They offer free breakfast for guests. Their menu has many food choices as well as a broad drink selection.
Dined here in AUG2016 as a part of Catamaran cruise. Restaurant is at the poolside of Sri Panwa resort. You can enjoy nice view of Phuket sea at the edge of the pool. Food serving here is from high quality ingredients. Hotel itself is very luxury and staffs are also professional-trained.
It's worth the drive to try the Baba Poolclub. The view is amazing and it's def 5 star.
We just had cocktails and burgers by the pool but they were very good.
The staff were attentive.
It's very pricey but then apparently this is where the King and Royals stay when visiting Phuket!

During that time I was advised to check with the port security officer to make sure he had our guests on the "approved" list. With that completed, and my mind was resting easy, all we had to do was wait for Lisa and Andy find a place to ...

We tried to have dinner at a pub recommended to us by Peter and Helen Downes, but it was closed. So we headed to another place. Robyn wasn't hungry, but a steak sandwich with fries ordered by Jonathan did get a bit of sharing. But while she wasn't hungry, Robyn did manage to have a cocktail, while Jonathan had another cleansing ale.
So we crawled home, and prepared for a fun cycling day tomorrow.
No battle in this Seattle

WebMD Recipe from EatingWell.com
Makes: 8 servings, about 1 cup each
Serving size: N/A
This beautiful salad combines fresh tomatoes, green beans, red onions and dried heirloom beans. Recently harvested beans (and thus freshly dried) cook more quickly than the kind you buy year-round at the market. In the latter part of the summer, farmers' markets begin to sell a fresh crop of heirloom varieties that would be perfect for this salad.

Three weeks after the mother on ABC's Brothers and Sisters ("Nora Walker" played by Sally Field) fretted over the GOP "denying global warming," the ABC drama on Sunday night featured an episode centered around her daughter, "Kitty Walker-McCallister," a Republican candidate for Senate in California played by Calista Flockhart, coming under attack from conservative rubes who think she used her influence to get the visa renewed for her older sister's French boyfriend, "Luc."
At a campaign event with mini-video camera-toting bloggers visible, protesters boo and repeatedly chant: "America for Americans!" as they hold up signs, such as "FRENCHIE GO HOME!!!" and, with a mustache added to Kitty's face, "Hi Kitler!" Just like the real media's slander of Tea Party protesters.
Kitty's husband whom she is running to succeed, incumbent "Senator Robert McCallister," played by Rob Lowe, charges: "It's just the conservative purity police trying to purge the party of lily-livered Republican moderates." Kitty complains to her sister, "Sarah Walker," played by Rachel Griffiths: "I am fighting for my political life with a bunch of ultra-conservative yahoos who want my head because you decided to fall in love with a guy who has immigration issues."
Audio: 90-second MP3 clip that matches the video highlights from the March 14 episode.
As the plot proceeds, Kitty condemns the "character assassination" and "guilt by association" while Sarah yells at a blogger with a video camera: "It's people like you who give this country a bad name!" Kitty also rues: "We can't control this crap that they put on the Internet."
But it all ends on a happy note with a Bob Schieffer-like fairly tale of bi-partisanship, as Kitty, Sarah and brother "Kevin," played by Matthew Rhys, go to the airport to stop Luc from returning to France and to confront the irresponsible bloggers. Kitty defends her sister: "She is a professional businesswoman, taxpayer, soccer mom and my sister. And this, this is Luc-- Luc Laurent. And, yes, he is a French citizen and an artist who takes no jobs from Americans. He loves Sarah and Sarah loves him."
Kevin soon proclaims: "We can despise each other's political opinions, but we don't despise each other." Kitty agrees:
That's right. And that is the spirit that I want to take to Washington. You see, if I ever get to the point where my ideology is so rigid that I can't see another point of view or if my loyalty lies with my party instead of my country, well, then I want the voters to send me home.
Which earns applause from a crowd that has gathered, including the blogger Sarah earlier denounced as a "douche-bag."
In the early days of the program produced by ABC Studios, Kitty was a DC-based conservative host of a TV debate show who was frequently at odds with her liberal and vocally so mother, Nora. As recounted in a November of 2006 NB post, "ABC's Conservative Character: 'Acknowledge the War Was a Mistake,'" it "took ABC until just the ninth episode...to have its sole conservative character 'grow' -- as they say of conservatives who move to the left -- from a pro-war right-winger to a critic of the Iraq war who declared it 'a mistake.'"

UR team no longer following tm-800 images
New iQ team will be non stop working for the remaining issues
there will be more images soon
UR team no longer following tm-800 images
New iQ team will be non stop working for the remaining issues
there will be more images soon
wow, what happened there, did sombody finally wake up. Just tried the new image this second. Looks good to me. Recording HD is great, skin is sleek, zapping much quicker. Thanks again for all the great work Digi.
None of this is my work m8, the iQ team has inherited the UR code, along with all its faults, but, they are working HARD to sort it all out
PS, install my panel, and run the cleaner from the temp fix section to free up another 3Mb of flash memory
But it is your input into all of the issues that must influence the powers to be, plus all your addons make life much easier for the likes of me. Will install panel now thanks.
The real question is....how reliable is the inforamation...IQ probably just still UR TEAM under a different name to make it look theres some change...i.e: like DS TEAM...
How is any of this going to help soft out underlying hardware/chipset driver issues that surely should be upto NXP to resolve.
ive a feeling things will start off slow, as theres a LOT of mess in the code to work through, and as more stuff gets 'cleaned' it should hopefully be like a snowball effect
so is this new team and the final image in July have a connection ??
Anyway, if it's true it's long overdue and a positive step...UR TEAM are incompetent and should have been dropped ages ago... However iQ are also some unknown team that have suddenly appeared...will be interesting to see if theyre any better than UR..
It seems rather funny that if there was another team taking over that that the IQ that's just appeared on the downloads site was posted there i thought that download site was run by UR Team as its not UK based just a thought.
it sounds very fishy to me - UR/TM saying something big is on the horizon then the next thing UR are no more and a new unheard of team imerge from the shadows - i take it then the final image date has been disgared then ??????

GTA 4 versus Real Life: Times Square at night
The virtual city of GTA 4, called Liberty City, bears a lot of resemblance to New York City. PC Games Hardware compares the nighttime streets around the Times Square of Liberty and New York City.
The screenshots of GTA 4 mainly originate from the 3D Center forum, the pictures of the real world are from the private archives of PCGH editor in chief Thilo Bayer. Have fun with this visual comparison.

My family knew his family back when he lived here before he moved uptown with his Mom Dolly.
Some people resented that he moved out of the neighborhood. That was the way Hoboken always was, now we hate you for moving in.
Anyway, he was a typical skinny kid I hear but my grandparents loved him and my dad really liked his movies.
Did you know the cartoon Scooby Doo was based on his lyric, "scooby doobie doo?"

This stick is just a wow and a bucket of joy when your on the ice with your crew and your going bar south left and right. its id say a very casual use just playing hee-haw I wouldn't use it competitively as there are better sticks out there. but its an amazing stick for the price. I've used higher end sticks and the price is unbeatable. it is a tad heavy buy hey its cheapReview by Huntin for the chedd (Posted on 7/24/2016)
For the price - I guess it's a decent stick. I don't really like the feel that the blade has... it's a bit hollow feeling (i don't know how else to describe it) when making a quick saucer pass or snap shot.Review by Mr. Bo Dangles (Posted on 7/24/2016)
I agree with the other reviewer... good for he-haw hockey, but wouldn't recommend for any kind of competitive play or anything beyond beginner.

The 2012 Phillies have brought us plenty of excitement this year, mostly in the form of guest accordion appearances on the television broadcasts. Unfortunately, the excitement has not come from the team on the field, and now it is time to sell. ESPN's Jayson Stark reports that teams the Phillies have been talking to believe that within the next (now) 44 hours, the Phillies could make 2-3 deals. The greatest focus on trades have centered around the Phillies outfield: there have been rumors that Juan Pierre, Shane Victorino, and/or Hunter Pence could be traded by the 4:00 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline on Tuesday. Perhaps in anticipation of possible trades, Phillies (is he still?) prospect Domonic Brown spent time today in both center field and right field. In today's double header at Lehigh Valley, Brown played game one in center and game two in right. Brown played a handful of games in center this season, though this would be his first game in right field. Should Pence a...

In a recent blog, I described features for PostgreSQL Core that we've been working onhttp://blog.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-10-roadmap/
Many people have asked for a similar roadmap for BDR and Postgres-XL. I can confirm that both are under active development and in active use.
Postgres-XL (link)
- XL 9.5 v1.2 is now available, with more updates coming.
- XL 9.6 has begun development work, together with active consideration of how to merge parts of that back into Postgres Core and/or minimize the overall set of changes.
- BDR 9.4 v0.9.3 is current version. We're continuing to work on BDR 9.4 and will be publishing v1.0 sometime soon
- BDR 9.6 is the next objective.
- We're also working to merge Logical Replication into PostgreSQL 10 and hopefully the rest of BDR functionality into PostgreSQL 10 or 11.
More details on the contents of those releases will be available separately.

Picture is now correct
By "By the Lake"
from Bowmanville, ON.
This is the second time I'm sending this...The picture is now the correct one. Paderno worked at getting my order correct. Took a while but their pots are so good it was worth the wait.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Insert does NOT look like picture
The picture that is shown is the older model which fits all 3 sized pans. The one I received has a rounded bottom and fits only the size you order.After 2 months of waiting they cancelled the order for my 3 L pan. And I am still waiting for the Double Boiler Insert.I like the Paderno cookware but they service seems to be lacking.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The US P&C insurance industry reserve position has deteriorated further, risking capital in a weakening rate environment.
This is according to Aon Benfield, the global reinsurance intermediary and capital advisor of Aon, which launched its updated US P&C Industry Statutory Reserve Study, to reflect year-end 2013 data.
The study, compiled by Aon Benfield Analytics, revealed that commercial lines continued to move further into an overall deficiency position of $2.8 billion at the end of 2013 compared to an estimated $0.9 billion deficiency at the end of 2012.
Reserve positions worsened across the commercial lines sector, which includes commercial property, commercial liability, and workers' compensation. Financial guaranty moved to a slightly less deficient position, though it represents a small portion of the overall commercial lines sector.
The personal lines sector continued to show a redundancy at the end of 2013, though not as strong as at the end of 2012, $9.3 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively.
According to the study, this continues a pattern of behaviour in personal lines carriers of being conservative in posting reserves early in the maturity of recent accident years. These lines are short-tailed lines of business, and any excess reserves tend to be released quickly.
The overall industry redundancy position decreased to $6.5 billion at the end of 2012, equivalent to only 1.1 percent of total booked reserves. This compares to a $9.2 billion total industry redundancy position at the end of 2013, while $14.8 billion was released by insurers during 2013. The amount of reserves released in 2013 was the highest since the 2008 to 2010 period.
Brian Alvers, chief actuary for Aon Benfield Americas, said: "It was a surprise to see more reserves released in 2013 as compared to 2011 and 2012, but the prior accident years continue to produce favourable reserve takedowns from the positive claims environment at the time.
"Personal lines reserve redundancy continues to support the overall industry reserve position, though almost 45 percent of it had been released at the end of the first quarter of 2014. The overall commercial lines reserves position models as deficient as of year-end 2013, and continued reserve releases of approximately $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2014 have made the hole deeper.
"Rates increases in commercial lines sector of the U.S. insurance industry seem to be tapering off, therefore creating more risk for those insurers' balance sheets."

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Every year when people go to file their taxes they may come across something that they don't understand. One of those things may be capital gain taxes. If an individual has sold some stocks, bonds or real estate they may find themselves with a capital gain, but how do they know how these are taxed? These are just a few of the many questions that are frequently asked. Below are questions that have been asked of the Experts in regards to capital gains tax laws.
First a capital gain occurs when real estate, stocks or bonds are sold for more than the original price paid for the item. Business and individuals in the United States most pay taxes on their capital gains. The capital gain tax is for the most part taxed at a different rate than ordinary income. Capital gain tax rate is dependent upon the tax bracket which they are in at the time of purchase. There are two types of capital gains, short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains. A short-term capital gain are defined as an investment that is kept for less than a year before it is sold, and short-term capital tax is the same as the investors' normal tax rate. Long-term capital gains are defined as investments or assets that have been kept for over a period of one year. Long-term capital tax rates are lower than short-term capital gain tax rates.
The individual will have to pay long term capital gain tax on the sale of the property for the federal end. There are long term capital gain tax rates that are bracketed, for example if an individual is in the 10-15% the long term capital gain tax is 0%. The individual will also have to pay the state in which the property is taxes on the sale of the property, as well as paying the tax on the sale of the property in the state that the individual resides in. However it is possible for taxes that the individual has paid in the state in which the property was sold to be credited for on the taxes in the state in which they live. This helps to eliminate or at the least reduce the double taxation on the income by two states.
The best way to explain how long-term capital gain tax is figured is to give an example. If an individual is married and is filing jointly, and the taxable income before adding in the long-term gain, is $40,000, then the individual can make $28,000 in long-term capital gains before any long-term capital gain tax is accrued. The reasoning behind this is that the federal tax bracket of up to 15% top amount of taxable income is $68,000. So $40,000 taxable income plus the long-term gain of $28,000 comes to $68,000 which is the highest amount for a couple filing jointly to not be taxed. It should also be noted that taxable income is what is left over after all exemptions and deductions have been made.
Capital gain taxes are not at a different rate in each state. Each state taxes capital gains at the same rate and do not treat capital gain taxes specially.
Capital gains tax are taxes that are applied to the capital gains made from the sale of capital assets such as real estate, bonds, or stocks. The amount of taxes applied to a capital gain depends on the type of capital gain it is, short-term or long-term, also upon the tax bracket that the individual falls under. Each state treats capital gains the same way in regards to taxes. If an individual has a capital gain and has a question as to how this will affect their income taxes, they are always able to ask an Expert.

I bought out my business partner and gave him "clear blue sky" (which I sent him a 1099 for), then I gifted him a shop and pickup (which I sent him a 1099 for). Then I bought all the rest of the equipment from him (I did not send him a 1099 for this because a tax preparer said he will pay taxes on the gains when we do the final return--is this correct?). I am preparing my final tax return for the company and I am not sure how do handle the assets. Do I put in the purchase price? If I do that then I will also have to pay gains on the sale of the equipment. I have started my own LLC so I know I can turn around and put all that equipment on my new return but I don't feel that I should have to pay the gains on the equipment from the original partnership. I need help! One last thing...I gifted him my share of the shop and pickup what do I do with those assets on the final return?
Hi Lane -I am about to exercise a stock option on Dec 12. The value will be reported on my W2. Will the amount be taxed at a different rate? Are there write offs that can be applied?
My wife is trustee of a irrevocable trust which owns a one-third interest in a residence in California. The beneficiaries of the trust are our two adult children. My wife's brother has offered to purchase the trust's one-third interest in the California residence for $500,000. The sale will create capital gains of $384,333 for the trust in 2014, which will result in the trust having to pay federal capital gains taxes of $69,667, and California capital gains taxes (taxed as ordinary income) of $32,395. Under the lifetime gift exemption of $5,340,000, my understanding is that my wife's brother can give the trust $500,000, with no tax liability to him or to the trust. The $486,000 gift left over after the $14,000 annual gift exemption will be classified as a taxable gift, but no federal or state taxes will be paid, either by the trust or by my wife's brother, due to the lifetime gift exemption limit of $5,340,000. The only potential tax consequence will be that my wife's brother's lifetime gift exemption will be reduced from $5,340,000 to $4,854,000. My first question is: If my wife's brother can make the $500,000 gift without having to gift pay tax, or the trust having to pay capital gains tax, can the trust give my wife's brother its one-third interest in the Californian residence under the same exclusion, without creating a taxable event? My second question is: If the trust can make the gift to my wife's brother without paying tax, or forcing my wife's brother to pay tax, does my brother inherit the trust's cost basis in the one-third share of the property, and thereby avoid paying property tax on the one-third interest re-valued at $500,000, as it would valued after a sale? Thank you for your reply.

I am in the process of a Refi on my home. Going with the present Mortgage Co. doing a HARP refi. I also want to pay down the amount I own on the present loan $360K vs $310K should I use money from IRA or sell off stock? I'm 66 and want to lower my monthly mortgage. At present I pay $2400. with Prop. Taxes and Ins sep. With the new mortgage I'll be paying $1900.00 incl. Prop.Tax and Ins at a rate of 3.75% vs my present rate of 5.876%. This year I have had large med. expenses and believe that will offset my cap.gains on my stock. I don't know using my IRA is better. One thing I do know refi is best for me I can't make 2% on my present money. Need a good sounding board.. Bobbie
My 76 yr old mother and I are selling the house for 229,900 that was put into a life estate deed (in my name) in Feb 2008. My father passed away in March 2009. The house was purchased in 1966 for $19000 and $71000 has been spent in home improvements over the years. We are trying to decide if it would be more beneficial to reverse the life estate deed back to my mother for the sale so that she will pay no tax on the proceeds OR to sell it as is (about 85% mine) and I'll have to pay capital gain tax. The tax may be minimal (less than $5000 perhaps due to the stepped up cost basis), but the funds would be protected from Medicaid by Feb 2013 should mom require nursing home care. If it is transferred back to mom and she buys a condo and we create a new life estate deed, the 5 yr clock starts ticking again. Can you help me think of the pertinent questions we need to consider in order to make the best decision? Everyone seems to be split. I should add that the proceeds from the sale that would go to me (if we keep deed as is) would exclusively go towards caring for my mother and buying a condo she can live in, but the condo and bank account would not have her name on it.

Chapter 1: A Birthday of Discoveries - Alex
Chapter 1: A Birthday of Discoveries: Alex
"Happy birthday, Alex!" exclaimed Claire.
"Shhh! Keep it down! Remember, no emotion or personality. Besides, my assigned birthday is October 3," I said.
"I know, I know. But this is your real birthday!"
"Claire, can we please do this later? I have to get to Bored Out of Your Mind 101."
Okay, there really isn't such a class. I was talking about Good Citizenship, which is basically a bunch of crap that's supposed to tell us how to be exactly the same as everyone else.
My name is Alexandra Marie Juliet Andeler. At least, that's my real name. My assigned name is Bookworm because I'm rarely not reading something. The Institute Controllers think it's great that I'm reading the (pathetic) books available. But that's only what they think I'm reading. The truth is I found a secret library. It's all the books the Officials confiscated.
When I was about five, I was wandering around the Institute looking for something to do. Then I found a design on the floor. It was a half sun, half moon with stars on the moon side. I stepped on the moon and pressed the biggest star. The tile slid away and revealed the stairs down to the library. The tile closed behind me and opened again when I came back up. Ever since then, I'd been reading books from there and hiding them behind "approved book" covers.
Even thought we taught ourselves, Claire is amazing at math and I am fantastic at science. Claire and I are the only ones who aren't like the rest of the clones at the Institute.
Claire's hair is lighter than the standard dirt color and her eyes are sea green. Her hair is straight and about half-way down her back. But she's not nearly as much of an outcast as I am. I have blond hair and blue eyes like my mother. It's down to my legs, because Claire refuses to let me get my hair cut with the "citizens". She cuts her own hair, but won't cut mine because she says I look better with long hair.
Maybe I should explain about the Institute. Every baby born is sent to an Institute. Every baby born is sent to an Institute. They stay there until they turn eighteen. They are trained to be good little servants. There's one in every state/province (or country, if it's small).
Luckily, with my mother being the last one who wasn't a "citizen" (and also the one who recommended we record this, but I'm not there yet), and all the books we've read, Claire and I are the last normal teenagers in the world. At least I thought that until we met the rest of the Clan , but I'm not there yet either.
Anyway, it was my thirteenth birthday. Claire was on her way to Approved Jobs for Citizens. This whole place is a load of crap. [Hmm. You're right, Claire. Maybe I do over-use the word crap]. During class, I tuned out and continued reading my book, the long-banned Harry Potter. Apparently, it fills your head with insane and false ideas of your own personal ability. Claire says I've read them all a hundred times. Which is ridiculous, because I've only read them ten times.
At lunch, we had the usual bread, potatoes, mixed vegetables, and water. After thirteen years, it gets REALLY annoying. Of course for the first year, it was formula and baby food, but still. Twelve years isn't much better. I'm sad to say Claire and I did NOT find a secret kitchen.
"Alex," said Claire. I really wanted to tell her to shut up. I didn't want to get in trouble with the Controllers. But I really do like Claire's voice. It's the only one in that place that's not a monotone. So I let her talk.
"Don't you think there should be more to life than this place?"
I nearly choked on my bread when she said that.
"Are you crazy?"I demanded, ignoring the fact others were starting to stare.
"I'm dead serious. We'll just graduate from the school of robotizens and go out into the world of robotizens. We can't do this forever. You know that."
Robotizens might actually be a good word to describe them, I thought. But I knew Claire was right. I'd been spending most of my life trying to ignore the laughable stuff the Institute tells us. The Officials have told robotizens this is a better life for everyone. That people won't have to think or worry about anything. That by letting the government take over your whole life, you are doing yourself a favor. Knowing the truth about the Officials probably helped.
The reality is the Officials have ruined the planet. They are bending real people into robotizens. They do this to ensure no one can rise up against them. They have destroyed bodies of water and the atmosphere. Plants can only be grown in very few select areas. And the robotizens simply do what the Officials say, with no questions or doubts.
But it couldn't be a good idea to escape, right? It wouldn't help anyone. We couldn't change anything. But it had to be better than pretending to be robotizens forever, right?
By the time I finished this entire train of thought, lunch was almost over. I stacked my tray in the pile and asked Claire why she came up with this now.
"Because I heard they were considering increasing the age we stay here to twenty," she said.
"Are you kidding?" I asked.
"See? This society will stay the same unless we at least try to do something to change it!"
"I need to think about this. Meet me in the library later."
The last part was whispered. At the next convenient time, I snuck away to the library. I looked around for something to read when I went into a part of the the library that I had never seen before. It was basically just an area with seats and tables. Strange, considering these books had been banned. Then Claire came in and I went to the front of the library. I brought her to the seats.
"Hmmm. That's weird. Someone must have used this place before us. Otherwise there wouldn't be seats," she said.
"That's obvious, but who else would be here?" I asked.
"I think I just found out."
She picked up an Official badge from the floor.
"That's weird. The Officials confiscated all of these books. Why would they be reading them? That doesn't make sense."
"That's just wrong. They tell us these books are atrocities and yet they read them? How incredibly hypocritical is that?"
That is 100% true. I noticed a big book on one of the tables. It was my favorite genetics book. Then I lifted it up. There was a tiny paperback under it. I blew the layer of dust off the cover and read the title.
The True Book of Greek Mythology
"Greek mythology? Now I'm really confused!"
"Just read it!"
It was like no other Greek mythology book I'd ever seen. It talked about mythology today.
"The Greek gods and monsters still exist. They are the only way to overpower the Officials. Bringing back the Olympians would be first. They could bring back the minor gods. Monsters re-form every time they are killed. Gods go to the Underworld whenever they are injured, and stay there until the gods are fully healed. No one knows where the gods are currently."
"You know what this means, don't you? We have a reason to leave!"
"We'll bring back the gods and save the world!"
"What makes you think we could do that?"
"Call it intuition or whatever, but I know this is what we're supposed to do with our lives!"
"Alright. But how are we supposed to get out of the Institute?"
"I guess I could help with that part," said someone emerging from the shadows.
It was Ms. Duncan, our Citizen Creations teacher. That's the only class that requires anything that even resembles creativity. Except now, she looked different. Her facial features were no longer like a robotizen's, her hair had become lighter, and she was smiling.
"Ms. Duncan?" I asked.
"No, no, my real name is Iris," she said.
"You're actually Iris, the Greek goddess of rainbows? And you're at the Institute? This is some kind of big birthday prank, isn't it?"
"No, I'm afraid not. Everything you've seen in that book is absolutely true. And you are destined to bring back the gods."
"If there's other gods out there, why can't they bring back the rest?"
"I don't know. I believe there's a part of this quest that cannot be completed by another god."
"You don't know for sure?"
"No, but the part of Zeus that's returned has forbidden the few remaining minor gods from doing anything."
"Part of Zeus? What is that supposed to mean?"
"Gods have multiple forms. They can be in several places at the same time. They are at their strongest when they are at full power, which it is your job to restore. Zeus is also why you are here."
"You're a demigod, Alex. And so is Claire. She's a daughter of Poseidon."
Before we go any further, let me explain about Greek mythology a little bit. There's twelve major gods, called the Olympians. They're Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Artemis, Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, and Dionysus. There's also lots of minor gods. Zeus is god of the skies and his brother Poseidon is god of the seas. Many of the Olympians had a reputation for coming down from Mount Olympus and liking mortals, producing half-human, half-gods called demigods.
I remembered Claire's mother had been hiding with my mother. Then the Officials found her the day after Claire was born. My mother managed to escape, but only for about two weeks. I know this because I found a few pages of her diary in the bag my mother had given to me when the Officials took her. It was still in my dorm room.
I also remembered Claire didn't know her father (who we now knew was Poseidon). Come to think of it, neither did I. It was just never very important at the Institute.
"Go and take these," said Iris, handing me a small book, a backpack, and a charm bracelet.
"How?" asked Claire.
Iris picked up the small compact mirror from a nearby bookshelf. It was the only mirror in the Institute.
"Have you ever wondered why there's no others?"
"All the robotizens look the same?" I guessed.
"Yes, but there's another reason. They don't want you to portal."
"Portalling is the easiest way to travel. You open a portal through a mirror and you can go anywhere. You just have to know where you're going."
Iris opened a portal with the mirror.
"I have to stay here. Good luck," she said.
We stepped into the portal. I didn't feel anything happening, but when we arrived I felt a little dizzy.
"We're out!" Claire cheered.
"Yeah. Now what?" I asked.
I opened the book and saw it was my mother's handwriting. There was a short note written on the first page. I saw it was written to me. The rest of the book was full of writing as well. I read the note and Claire read over my shoulder.
Dear Alex,
You are much more special than you think you are. Contained within this book are the most important thing you'll ever hear is this. You are not merely a demigod. You are also part Egyptian god, angel, and wizard - a rare and important combination. You can tell no one about the wizard part, except a few select people you will meet. I'm sorry I can't meet you in person right now. You will discover more on your own. I believe in you, but you must come to believe in yourself.
This was totally completely impossible.
"Alex, are you okay?" asked Claire.
Absolutely, if the definition of okay had changed to totally freaking out inside. Which it hadn't, so I was absolutely NOT okay.
"Not really. Let's see the clue for the first god," I replied.
A journey is what you shall take
To a big bright blue lake
Another land you will find
Be careful not to fall behind
Artemis is who you seek
Do not dare to take a peek
The moonstone is what you need
Make sure you complete the deed
"That makes absolutely no sense."
"Which is probably why it was chosen as the clue."
"A lake?"
"I know. All the lakes are gone or polluted."
"I got it! There's one lake that's not polluted or destroyed! Lake Superior, the last of the Great Lakes!"
"How are we supposed to get there?"
"I think the better question is where exactly are we?"
I didn't see the Institute anywhere. Which meant we went pretty far. The Institute is huge.
"That looks like the remains of the Statue of Liberty."
The Statue of Liberty had been destroyed when the Officials took over, because we obviously had no more liberty.
"That helps, at least."
"Yeah, we're in New York City. And we need to go west."
"And how exactly are we going to do that?"
I looked inside the backpack for anything useful.
This was the perfect way to get to the lake. At least until we realized we had no idea how to fly a hoverboard. So after a few minutes (and quite a few falls), we finally got in the air.
"How fast do these things fly?"
"Hopefully faster than a car."
It was a while before I noticed I wasn't on my hoverboard anymore. Then I turned around and saw I was flying with my own pure white wings. My hoverboard was a few feet below me. I quickly put it back in the backpack.
I figured this was the angel part. Not that I was any less surprised. Everything went smoothly for a while until Claire's hoverboard ran out of fuel. We landed before it was completely empty. My wings folded almost flat against my back.
"Now what?" I asked.
"I don't know! Where does one even get hoverboard fuel?" she asked.
"The hoverboard convenience store?"
"Look, it's another Institute!"
The Institute of New Jersey. I remembered back at our Institute in Pennsylvania, there had been a closet full of hoverboards and fuel. I found it once (what can I say? I had a lot of time!)
"There's probably hoverboard supplies in there!"
"Are you crazy? We can't break into an Institute! And even if we did, we'd never make it out!"
"It's the only place we could possibly get fuel!"
"Alright. But we're going to make a plan."
"Obviously. But we'll need a map of this Institute."
"And how are we going to get that?"
"I have an idea."
Five minutes later, I had taken an invisibility potion from the backpack and I was headed into the Institute. The first problem occurred when I reached the door. It was the huge padlock.
"Shoot," I muttered. I opened the backpack and found a lock-picking kit. The door clicked open after about three minutes. If all the things we needed were in the backpack, this quest would be a snap!
I went in and found the map. I memorized it and went back out. This was easier and faster than you might think. I have a photographic memory. Claire and I discovered this after I memorized my first chapter book after only reading it once. But that's beside the point.
"Alright. Let's do this," said Claire.
"Take your potion. The hoverboard closet is on the other side of the Institute."
The trip to the hoverboard closet was easy, and we found the fuel almost instantly. I grabbed most of it and put it in the backpack. A bunch of robotizens came out from their classes. I noticed one that was different. His hair was darker than Claire's, but lighter than the robotizens. His face was different - it actually showed some emotion.
The next thing I did was completely irrevocably stupid. Especially for someone who knows organic chemistry (Claire prefers to learn calculus), but if I hadn't done it, none of what happens later would have happened quite the same way. I grabbed the kid's arm and pulled him out of the Institute.
Claire probably looked at me like I was nuts, but I couldn't tell (because I couldn't see her). Surprisingly, the kid didn't make a peep.
When we got all the way out, the potion wore off. The kid just stared at us.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Yes! A question! Robotizens are incapable of asking questions.
"I'm Alex. This is Claire," I said.
"THE Alex? The one the Officials are saying is dangerous and evil? You've kidnapped me!"
"No, we're here to rescue you! We know you're not a robotizen. You can have a real life. Just trust us."
"What's a robotizen?"
"Never mind. What's your name?"
"Real name?"
"John. John Parker."
"Hold it! Why is your assigned name Computer?" asked Claire.
"I use our Institute's computers all the time. I've managed to access all the sites the Officials blocked. They never noticed."
The only website robotizens can see is the Official site.
"How did you do that?"
I'd wanted to access the rest of the 'Net for some extra research. I managed to access a website about the damage the Officials have done, but that was it. I'd never been able to get all of them, and I've read every computer programming book there is!
"Once, during an Official inspection, I got an Official's password. I read eBooks and things on the Internet."
I reached into the backpack and found something interesting. It was an iPhone. Instead of being back or white, it was purple - my favorite color. The back had my name in some fancy font. I looked at the playlist and found it was every Taylor Swift song on the deluxe albums. At the Institute, I found some old Taylor Swift CDs. I absolutely loved them (but it was almost impossible to find a CD player for them). The iPhone itself was the newest version made before the Officials took over.
The phone function, of course, was useless because no one had a phone of any kind. There was no reason to use it now, so I put it back. I found two more iPhones, one for Claire and one for John. I looked at Claire and John and found they were having a discussion about the Internet.
"Come on. Let's go," I said.
"Go where? What are you talking about?" asked John.
"It's a long story that we don't have time to explain because the Controllers should be noticing your absence any moment now. Just take a hoverboard and let's get out of here before something bad happens," said Claire.
Soon, we were back up in the sky. I was kind of sad though, because all we could see were brown and gray clouds. The entire sky was brown and gray. It was the pollution caused by the Officials. The moon and sun were no longer visible. I chose this time to tell John our story.
"I'm sure if Artemis was here, the moon would be there," I commented.
Artemis is the goddess of the moon and the hunt. She's an eternal maiden and the twin sister of Apollo.
Then I saw the sparkling blue water and I knew we had arrived. I couldn't help but smile. But I thought it was kind of weird to save one lake. But no one said the Officials make sense.
I tucked in my wings and let myself fall for a few seconds. Of course, from my reading, I knew exactly what was going on. This was free fall - when no force other than gravity is acting on an object. Well, it would be if you don't count air resistance and friction. I knew I was accelerating at about 9.8 m/s2. But at the moment, I couldn't care less about physics. I just felt the air rushing beneath me. All my scientific thoughts suddenly flew out the window.
If everything outside the Institute was this amazing, I would never even think about going back. I spread my wings again and hovered above the lake. I noticed that Claire and John were still far away. I wished they could do the free fall thing, but they didn't have wings and the hoverboards couldn't do something like that.
I tucked my wings back in and landed. I waited for Claire and John. They came down, and we were ready to enter the lake.
The fact this lake remained really bothered me. Why would they save one lake? If the Officials wanted to destroy the world (and I know they did), why not do it thoroughly? And turns out, there's a very good reason. And that's exactly what we were going to find out, whether we liked it or not.

In our ongoing effort to engage periodically in the profession known as "journalism," we contacted Patriots spokesman Stacey James to determine whether Friday's departure of a football-publications employee is an isolated occurrence, or whether it's part of a second round of layoffs.
James said that the person whose employment will be ending today is actually the last remaining employee from the initial round of layoffs, which were announced in late 2008.
James said that no other layoffs will be implemented at this time.
It's also our understanding that, unlike layoffs conduct by for example the Redskins, the football operations in Foxborough have not been affected by the downsizing. Instead, the layoffs came from other aspects of the overall operation of a football franchise, a stadium, and the other businesses owned by the Krafts and housed at the Gillette Stadium complex.

SouthCoastMass says: Jan 23, 2009 12:10 PM
I was thinking the same thing about that broad with the muffin top.
In terms of the Pats operation, I've been a season ticket holder off and on for the last 35 years both with my dad's tickets, as well as my own the last 15 years. Many excellent points have been made in the previous story about the fans being the last priority and treated as an annoyance at the games. All very true.
The new stadium is indeed beautiful, state of the art, all that. However, the old stadium had a sense of community. You'd see the same guys sitting around you at all the games ($39.50 per seat for the 2001 season), as opposed to having to split up these up among many friends and family – $117 per seat tickets (to sit in the second level), because no one can afford to go to all the games anymore. The new stadium is also built so tall that crowd noise goes straight out of the stadium. It's very quiet watching a game in there. Of course, all the luxury box pseudo fans are inside the box, when the temp drops under 50 degrees, so that doesn't help for crowd noise either.
The tailgating close to the stadium has become obnoxious, due to the police state atmosphere with every Mass. State Trooper on site in an angry mood and staying that way, while they make six figure salaries harrassing docile, well behaved tailgaters. Oh, did I mention paying $50 to park and deal with that crap? That's why I park a mile away, in a private company's non Kraft lot that wants my business, lets us save spots for late arriving buddies, and treats the tailgaters like kings. I also no longer consume any beer or concessions inside the Stadium. I won't put another dime in the Krafts' pockets.
Patriot Place struggling is not a surprise, considering the way the Krafts treat their season ticket holders. Why would any of us want to go there and do further business with them? I love the team, but don't care much for the Krafts.

So what's with the responsible journalism? Why the effort there Florio, are you trying to find something to support another theory of yours?
Is the football-publications employee a PFW employee?
And how many complaints have you got about the fat ads? They need to go! Can't pull up the web page at work any more, you can see that shit from across the room.
(Just replace the fats girls with naked ones)
shuxion says: Jan 23, 2009 12:27 PM
I am starting to think Florio just does this to get the anti-patriot people to give their tiresome camera and cheating comments.
So here they come.
Mike Florio says: Jan 23, 2009 12:39 PM
@rasalas . . . .
reading comprehension skills are critical to meaningful participation in these debates.
when it's hard news, we say so (with words like "i know"). when it's rumor, it's couched as rumor. when it's speculation, it's couched as speculation (with words like "it's possible that there will be others").
we posted the item based on the information we had last night, and we followed up on it today.
because we're not bound by editions and deadlines, we sometimes have stories that develop and evolve based on our information.
and when come across subsequent information that contradicts a prior report, we say so.
it would have been easy to simply go back and edit the earlier story.
it would have been even easier to simply expunge it.
rasalas says: Jan 23, 2009 12:41 PM
So why didn't you contact the Patriots before posting your original item based on an "industry source"? Just to be first — which you accuse mainstream outlets such as ESPN of doing?
Conveniently overlooked in this post is the fact that your original report was wrong. It's also proof that you don't note when you were wrong, as you claim; you just post something different and move on. It's not the same thing.
PFTiswhatitis says: Jan 23, 2009 12:52 PM
@forcefed: you wuss. The real whine and cheese fans are the rednecks like you that constantly whine about how they are the only true fans and complain about the quiet stadium, the other fans, the cost of parking, food, beer and anything else that that doesnt remind them of their little caves where they can do what they want when they want. I know you miss the smell of piss in the air but its time to wake up and realize ITS BETTER!

TCLARK says: Jan 23, 2009 2:39 PM
I hope the Krafts catch wind of the discontent from the loyal fans. I live 3500 miles from Foxborogh. I never knew any of this until now. As a diehard Pats fan on the outside looking in, I didn't have much to celebrate until the Krafts bought the team. I hope they (the Krafts) care enough to make some changes.
MarkB says: Jan 23, 2009 3:21 PM
For those not in the Boston area, there's one guy who calls Boston talk radio a few times a year and changes the subject to bitch about prices and his terrible treatment at the stadium. He never does say why he doesnt' just give up the tickets, seeing as there's a 20 year waiting list for them. If the prices were too high, no one would pay them – pretty simple. And the Krafts are super people – they do a huge amount for the community. Robert Kraft was a season ticket holder long before he owned the team, and there were no super-duper boxes back then. How many owners can say that? Boston has had some disaster owners – remember John Y. Brown and Phyllis George? Johnny was telling Red Auerbach who to sign. 'Nuff said.
mvlonergan says: Jan 24, 2009 8:00 AM
Layoffs in their non-football operations make sense. My buddy and I went to CBS Scene at Gillette on Wednesday night, and were two of less than ten people at a bar meant to hold hundreds. For those outside New England who don't know, CBS Scene is a three-story complex next to the stadium, with a CBS store on the ground level and a two-story bar/restaurant on top of it. It's part of the Kraft's "If you build it, they will come" effort to expand non-football revenues. I realize that this particular money pit is not run by the Pats, but it does illustrate the larger issue. In this economy, fans and non-fans alike are not going to consistently make the journey to Route 1 in Foxborough so they can pay $11 for a pizza and $18 for wings. They're not going drop by the pro shop and buy a Wes Welker shirt for little Johhny. Nor are they going to subscribe to the team's "Patriots Football Weekly" publication. They may even cancel their subscription. When people are paying down $300,000 mortgages on homes now worth less than $260,000, those kind of extras get left by the wayside.
Titans says: Jan 24, 2009 1:22 PM
The NFL announced today that for financial reasons, they had to eliminate one team from the league.So they've decided to combine the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and form one team, causing many layoffs but saving millions of dollars in costs. They will be known as the TAMPACKS. Unfortunately, they're only good for one period and have no second string!

What would it be like if angels played in subway stations or Mary Magdalene sat thinking in a storefront?
Ukrainian artist Alexey Kondakov imagines just that.
'Every day you travel on the same route and if you [can] see it transferring to something magical and beautiful, it [will] make you happier and [catch] your eye,' Kondakov tells A Plus in an email.
So Kondakov focuses on shared experiences, both past and present, that are often exhibited in art.
Furthermore, he argues that "by inviting these characters to 'visit' our reality, we reveal a common humanity that binds us all — one that transcends the ages," according to CNN.com.
The resulting, Photoshopped images Kondakov creates are nothing short of spectacular.
In one, he takes a painting by Caesar van Everdingen, formerly titled "Nymphs Offering the Young Bacchus Wine, Fruit and Flowers," and Photoshops the scene beneath a current bridge near Osokorki, a neighborhood in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
Kondakov tells A Plus that he really did not expect such success, but that he is very "happy that everyone felt themselves close to the atmosphere happening [in] the drawings."
The artist adds that Photoshop, as an artistic tool, requires skill and patience just like using watercolors, acrylics or silkscreen printing.
And it looks like he's getting it right.
