The staff, Paying for Internet
Location is convenient if you need to stay close to the airport. That was within walking distance from terminal, what really was helpful due to taxi drivers strike that shut all transportation fro and to terminal. Not worth the value. The room was overheated and no way to cool it down. I couldn't sleep well waking up sweating. Staff admitted the problem but didn't even try to solve it. I general I can't really say that staff is unfriendly, but they are kind of distant? Don't really interested to help, it looks like they just don't care. Another example that they don't care about customer convenience is that You can't leave a luggage for safety between the checkout and time you need to leave for your flight.
A pair of bathroom slipper
The Concierge was extremely helpful, otherwise not up to the normal Hilton standard Cockroaches in the restaurant at breakfast, nasty stains on the couches in the reception area! The faux wooden flooring in the bedrooms is very noisy. No refrigerator in the room.
It's very convenient if your flying out orly to stay, food and drinks are good but pricy. The room I got is ready for a remodel or new carpet at least. I ordered some food from the bar got the wrong meal but didn't send it back. Breakfast cost a little to much.
Location The bedrooms are old (poorly furnished) an the bathroom is not of a 4star hotel.
Proximity to the airport. Shuttle bus Strong smell of tobacco in my non smoking room. Very overpriced room!!!
quick check-in, big rooms, fast elevators, poor breakfest, too expensive internet
The room was very nice and large. The breakfast buffet was very good and the proximity to Orly was a real assett as it allowed us to have a relaxing time before a long flight
Convenient location Orly Airport Helpful staff Broken heating - too hot Room generally shabby
It was clean and the staff were helpful. The menu was limited and the charges for the food, both in room and out, were outrageous.
Proximity to the airport and shutle bus No minibar in the room
The dinner buffet and the breakfast selection are quite excellent! I did think it was quite clean and I loved my room. I wish all the hotels I stayed at were as well-maintained as here. I spent so little time here I didn't notice anything that went negatively.
Very clean, friendly staff, all staff spoke very good english.
Check in and check out was fast, the shuttle bus was on time. Don't have much to say since I stayed only for 5 hours. The shuttle bus was a bit ahead of time when we arrived in the airport and was waiting for a pick-up to the hotel, so we missed one and had to wait for another 20 minutes.
near the airport with free shuttle service no porters and bell boys and front desk should tell guests that they must use room key for elevator use
a big variety of breakfast , people are friendly, helps you out if you need help, fridge was closed with key ( you have to pay for minibar ) / Tv channels was very less.
The hotel is excellent but not good for the tourists who wants to go to paris centre because it cost you big money and time to move to paris centre.
Breakfast was delicious Be pulled to secure the value of the room and not taken it back only after two weeks means twice the amount
Shettle to the airport. Friendly staffs, hotel quiet, Room clean and large. The room was fairly cold when arriving, did not have time to check if the heating system was on or off, same thing with the bathroom.
Room, shuttle service was excellent, staff elevators frequently out of service
Just stayed in the Best Western. I was pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious, nice and comfortable. The hotel has a shuttle which takes 7 minutes to the terminal from 5 am to 11:30 pm. The hotel is in need of some remodeling, but overall nice. The staff were friendly. I stayed before at a different hotel in the area that received a much higher rating but liked the Best Western much better. It is mostly for business. The hotel can use some remodeling, the corridors feel dark with poor lighting.
proximity to airport.courteseous staff.
We booked this hotel because of its proximity to the airport. The shuttle bus from the hotel runs frequently (every 20 minutes) and was quick. The hotel itself was amazing for the price - exceptionally clean and modern. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were very happy with our stay at the Holiday Inn Orly.
Location. Was close to airport for next day early flight. Free shuttles Sheets were itchy. They only gave one individual sized water bottle per room even if you have two people. An extra bottle would be 3€. Our room was not prepared well. There were no soap in both hand soap or body wash dispenser. We were also only given two bath towels. There were no hand towels. All in all, I don't think this room was worth its price of 187€ per night.
Loved the beautiful hotel. Staff was wonderful & room was perfect
Reasonably close to airport
The Hotel is very well located in respect to the Orly airport. The Hotel is friendly and efficient, the transfer to the Airport works also very well. Rooms are very clean and modernly decorated. If you need an Hotel to stay between flights for example this is an excellent choice.
The pick up service from the airport worked well. The staff were friendly and helpful. an ideal resting place at the end of a long flight.
The breakfast was excellent Mix up over the free transport from the airport, which didn't materialise. Public areas of the hotel were very tired and grimy (carpets stained and badly need replacing; not a very good first impression! ) But the room itself was clean and tidy.
Good shuttle sirvice and very very good resturant 1 min froom the hotel!
Nothing Dirty...dirty ditry. Not even worth a 1 star
Location near Orly and excellent restaurant. Receptionist very kind.
I loved its quite environment and the on time shuttle bus to tha airport.
Small rooms.
Close to the airport. Nothing fancy but just what I needed for a decent price. They did not have a free baby cot as it appears on the reservation. They propose to rent a room with an extra bed for 10 Euros more.
I was not there very long - but the breakfast was excellent
Good room size, Don't like the pillow as it is too flat and only one per bed should be 2 per bed. Should provide a free bus shuttle service to metro. Provide free parking.
Ease of access to the airport. Unusually friendly hotel staff for an airport hotel. Comfortable room. Room price is excessive, as usual at most airport hotels. But then again, you have to sleep somewhere when overnighting between flights and this was a good hotel for that.
Cleanliness of room. Not loud, but permanent noise (air condition + traffic).
There were no problems with our very early wake-up call, and it was a nice surprise to find they had complimentary coffee and biscuits for us as we waited for the 5:00 am shuttle to Orly Airport. The room was clean and pleasant as well.
rooms had terrible petrol/plastic smell. Impossible to sleep.
Very helpful staff, very clean and spacious room and a very comfortable bed. ridiculous that parking is an additional 14 Euros per night plus internet use is very expensive. WIFI is so common these days, and provided free of charge in much more basic hotels.
Stayed at the hotel for business use so internet access way one of the reasons for choosing this hotel Could have done with unlimited internet access
It is closely located to Orly airport plus the free shuttle service provided. I am not sure if Ok for daily city trips but if you need to take a plane from Orly is great. It is an old building that has been refurbished so you notice it in some details but still OK for the money paid.
difficult to get to the city
The Key was delivered without the room number or any information. The bath room seems be inside of roullotte. Seems like a motel for speedy rooms. Car parking extremely expensive.
The room have near 20mt and with one double bed and one sofa. They don't have free internet, like is show in booking. The staff don't speak english only french.
yes, a short business stay no
Rooms are clean and comfortable The staff wasn't helpfull. My car window is broken due to theft. I asked the receptionist for tape and plastic. They told me they don't have transparent plastic. That's ok. So I asked for some tape which I can take away. Because it's was sunday and all shops are closed. She still refuse to give me that plastic tape to take away even If I pay for it!!!!!
Internet doesn' t work
Most of the staff were very friendly and thoughtful.We liked the fact that the hotel was pet friendly.A perfect hotel for stop overs on a long journey.The room temperature was good, not hot and stuffy like some hotels can be. The pillows were a bit uncomfortable.
breakfast buffet quite poor
the location is very convenient to airport....we ate dinner there and the food was very good....freee shuttle to airport water leaked onto the floor during shower
the restaurant was ok the reception staff was uncommercial people.
The position and the staff Maybe a little expensive for the given facilities
Had good service from the staff. The shuttle service is very good too. The furniture in the room is very old , blankets and carpets are dirty
mveryy good no
Close to the airport. Nice shuttle service. Cosy restaurant. Many rooms are without any view, which is OK if you spend one NIGHT. No Room Service available.
Hotel is closed the airport. The bed, too small.
Proximity to Orly Aeroport, despite this there was no disturbance from aircraft noise. Not a great deal of character to the hotel, however it is very functional. Better map of the surrounding road system would help, this was the first time I have used Orly Aeroport and the road system is quite complicated.
The hotel had a secure car park, a swimming pool, big rooms, a good bar and an ok restaurant. It was conveniently located near the motorway, ideal for those passing through on a longer journey. The local area is not very nice. Not convenient for central Paris either. Opposite a big mosque which is quite busy.
very clean, very nice staff AC didn't work and couldn't open a window. It was very hot during the day in there
place nearby autoway
Staff were very polite and extremely helpful. We were four couples using four rooms. we were travelling on four motorbikes and parking was very easy and secure. The bed comy and bedding and towels spotless this was the same for each room. Breakfast really nice although a little expensive at 13.00 euros each We were a little confused with the price of the breakfast. We had understood it to be 7 euros - which it would have been, had we sat and had a croissant and coffee at the bar - this was never pointed out to us, and as three of the eight in our group had only coffee and croissant it proved to be expensive.
The staff were very friendly and helpful — I enjoyed the breakfasts, and the bar meals that I had.
Nice and quite, parking available!!! Employees don't really speak english - not really frindly
the breakfast must be much better. They can nor speak English well enough,almost nothing.
Good breakfast, room clean, staff helpfull, good Novotel standard, working free wireless. No wall plugs at working desk, not working shaver plug in the bathroom.
The hotel is well situated alonngside a lake with a jogging/walking track running completely around it. It was very quiet and peaceful.
I havebooked the hotel with non-smoking facilities and we have provided with a smoking room. Since we are having children it was not convenient for us.
Close to Orly airport: good when you have to catch an early flight
Convenient to Orly Airport The location was in the middle of an industrial and retail park - lots of very large lorries all around. There was a shuttle to/from the airport but there was no way to find the shuttle at the airport if you did not have the hotel's telephone number. Taxis would not take you.
inexpensive rooms with three beds no elevator; thin walls, hotel is situated in an industrial area not far from a street, where female workers take care of certain needs of truck drivers; hotel apparently unknown to quite a few taxi drivers
Close to Orly airport and some decent restaurants close by to get a bite and a beer. Free WiFi Internet worked well. Staff were friendly and helpful. Noise travels easily into your room and the rooms seem to be in need of decorating.
The staff was wonderful, and the hotel was an amazing value. After staying in hotel rooms for a few days, it was wonderful to stay in the large two room suite with a larger bathroom and even a hallway. If we had stayed longer, we would have used the kitchenette. There was a little noise during the night from the street.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The shuttle service worked really fine. The price/quality relation is excellent It's old.
it was close to the airport and quick & easy pick-up and drop off. friendly staff; good wi-fi connection, comfortable & clean room paper-thin walls (I could hear everything from the next room but fortunately they slept relatively early!); the restaurant had closed - this is important as it's one of the reasons I chose to go there. Without the restaurant on site, my only options were a steak house grill which they would have dropped me at (but I don't eat meat) or a take-out which I got. The quality of that was quite poor.
Staff were friendly it made it easy and was good for overnight stay near airport The immediate area outside
I was so tired I slept like a log,very comfortable and very nice people.Ideal for the airport at Orly with a shuttle available.This hotel is well away from the city centre but the Orly Val takes you to Anthony where you can reach most of the city tourist areas from there.If you just want a stop over at a reasonable price then this hotel is ideal.
The excelent service of airport shuttle (very organized and pratic) and the kindness of hotel staff.
location , staff
proximity to airport/prompt shuttle service It was difficult to get a snack...resturant next door was full of people [1 May], leaving McDonalds as our only option...tea making facilities in our room would have been most welcome.
Confort and location (near to the orly's aeroport)
Free internet, Location. Hotel is old.
We stayed for 7 hours, overnight, after a long haul flight from Singapore (CDG-Air France bus to Orly). There was plenty of hot water and a clean bed. Up and out for an early onward flight. Perfect. Breakfast did not start early enough for us. We had a spare half an hour to wait for the free bus to the airport and we could have filled it with a quick hot coffee and pan au chocolate. The mis-timing was my own fault, we just missed the 6am bus, otherwise, no complaints.
The navette picked me up from the airport and delivered me back there the next morning
very friendly staff, great support in all questions, very clean, very good infrastructure, the quality is higher as two stars.
Ease of reception and the helpfulness of staff
Food good, great for a business stay
Everything was great til I got locked out and could not get in my keycard stopped working and that meant internet also so I could not work until the next day I moved hotels thanks to one employee that helped me out noted above
Absolutely nothing. This hotel is horrible and definitely not a 3 star. More like a 1/2 star. The hotel and the rooms were dirty. The breakfast was terrible. Living in France I expect small breakfasts, but the bread was stale and definitely not worth the money.
was close to airport and free shuttel to airport WC was out of function and i coudn't sit on it, The breakfast was cold and i paid 8 euro for a piece of bread and cheese. It was not clean in the room and the wc.
Website says free shuttle but when I arrived at the airport and waited, another shuttle driver from a better hotel told me that I had to call the hotel. The tourist office called and it took 45 minutes. I had an early flight. The hotel charged 15 euro for the free shuttle because it wasn't between 645 am and 1000 pm. Definitely not worth any savings you might get.
Close to the airport for early flight Old furniture, matress not so clean, bathroom oldy too
The hotel took a large group - which is understandable - but they wanted to serve breakfast to other guests in a meeting room. TV did not work - I phoned reception and was ignored.
no iron or ironing board
The standard of food in the hotel was not good
It was central to our place of buisness Quality of rooms very poor. Shower broken, bed lining boards missing,
This place was dirty and poorly decorated with whitewash like paint and sinks nearly falling off walls, leg of table in room fell off when I put my purse on it, air conditioning did not work. Was locked in to hotel when we tried to leave in am--we had already paided our bill. This did not look like a safe part of town.
Good basic hotel for what I needed. I arrived late in the evening and they held the room as requested when booked. Good breakfast
Receptionist was very cheerful and friendly Breakfast is too expensive. An alternative budget breakfast should be offered for those leaving early for travel reasons.
Good location near to the airport, and free parking. No wifi. No free internet access.
The hotel is clean and value for money.
Even though we just stay there for only one night, the impression was pretty good. Clean, functional and with free shuttle to Orly airport. If you want to catch plane on the early morning, it is smart choice.
this is an airport hotel, stay here if you have an early flight from orly the next morning. Otherwise, no reason to come here at all. Had to wait a long time for the shuttle bus from the airport and the location of the bus stop is not marked at all. Had to phone the hotel. Breakfast is another €9. All corridors are outside, you are literally a prisoner of your room.
Breakfast is rather good. And it has free shuttle to Orly every 30 minutes. The hotel is 10 minutes by car from Orly If you don't speak French it could be a problem because the staff did not speak а single word in English. So the hotel is just a place where you can sleep if you depart from Orly early in the morning.
nothing Staff was rude and horrible implying they knew nothing about the bookings and we came to con them , made my wife cry , after 0.5 an hour of humiliating debates ( 10 hours in the car on the hot day and through the night ) they gave us a key and never apologized . The disco near by ruined every night of our stay . No sorry or thank you ....Awful experience !!!
only sleep.. nothing
Everything None
Nice friendly hotel, helpful staff. Good continenetal breakfast. Beautiful little town within walking distance with small restaurants, shops etc. About 7km into paris via metro, bus or taxi. The hotel rooms were clean and tidy, the sheets immaculate and maid service every day. Excellent value for money. A large open air disco across the road. Open Friday and Saturday nights, it didnt bother us we were too drunk to notice and it actually rocked us to sleep!
very comfortable room difficult to find the reception which is situated in the restaurant in front of the hotel, prices change according to events in the region!
Nothing. I planned to stay 13 nights, I stayed 2. Pictures on your website have to be updated (more realistic) and 2 stars should already be a fair rating. This hotel works primarily with groups of Eastern Europe and Asia, and the staff of the hotel is fully occupied with them and then can not properly meet the customer alone. There is no Internet access on the 2nd and 3rd floors, even at the prohibitive rate of 10 euros per hour, so if you have to work, you need to do in the lobby, amidst the baggage and adolescents currently screaming. My room, supposed to be "non-smoking", reeked of poor quality tobacco, the toilet seat was unstable, the walls were dirty. Finally, I went to another hotel (Kyriad, Campanile formerly, a quarter mile away). night staff was unpleasant, almost authoritarian.
I wont go there again. Rooms are small, not comfortable.
Price versus comfortability is reasonable. Need more menue at restaurant.
Mechanically everything worked well -- plumbing, windows, elevator. Bus 281 to Paris Metro line 8 "Creteil Hotel de Ville" stops "Europarc" right in front of hotel. No Air Conditioning on a very hot night. The rooms were very spartan with worn furniture, linens and carpeting. Seems to be popular with international tourist bus groups. Television reception was poor and had limited channels.
Very noisey with paper thin walls
the rooms were not clean and i would not stay at this hotel
Next to restaraunt, night club, public transport. We couldn't use the free shuttle to get to the hotel from airport as the lady at the reception didn't understand English. Had to take a cab. Rooms were small and we could hardly open our bags.
Room clean and confortable Shuttle from airport to hotel delayed (waiting one hour)Restaurant closed arriving at the hotel

As far as coming and introducing myself to you at CW goes. If I really wanted you to know who I was I'd turn up on your door step. But TBH you are in the class of mildly amusing retard. You pass a bit of time when I come on the forum for a giggle. I put you on the same level as belly button fluff. Quite amusing to play with but with no substance. Once Brad has smashed you back into obsurity nobody will remember you.
Now please take your hate filled facist attitiude back to the gutter and try a night class in basic English. As Nazi German is obviously your first language it must be difficult.
I'm no gynecologist but I know a cunt when I see one.
There's a thread on the Scottish forum about what the definition of a Professional fighter is and this certainly isn't how he/she should be acting
I don't have anything against Enty as I find him quite entertaining but I think you can be entertaining without being unprofessional
Sorry but am afraid am gonna be unprofessional again but if u have noticed it's usually only with sludge
You wanna start talking about you would just turn up at my door you ever step foot in my town never mind my door I will be making sure your going home without your nose. If at any point you only gay in the village look a like you grow some balls and wanna say anything to my face av no problem giving you my address or meeting u anywhere you want.
Ano that's unprofessional but the fat usless cunt has never fought and thinks he's some kinda big man when the guys nothing in any walk of life!!
Sledge would murder you!!.....you need to grow out of this "small man syndrome" you so obviously suffer from!!!!
You look like some kinda angry hobbitt that flops as soon as he's hit!!! LOOOL
I'm actually warming to Enty. Yes, he's a bit of a gobshite but brings some entertainment to the forum. Am I the only one on the Enty warwagon?

From MNW's Admissions Director, alumnus, and former Primary Guide, Andrea Hippensteel:
Creating an environment for children filled with beautiful and interesting materials was one of my greatest joys in the classroom, obviously a very distant second to working with the children themselves. To see the children notice a new wooden elephant, a brass nautilus shell for polishing, a new three-part card set, or even a fun pillow for the reading chair was brilliant fun.
I was reminded of the joy of material making today in the Primary classroom. What a joy to see all of the materials the students are creating! Each year, our students introduce us to items in that I would have loved to have had in the classroom.
Laura Kemper, a current student in our Primary course, brought in a lovely example of thoughtful packaging, one that was too adorable not to share with you.
The idea is simple and easily adapted to suit your classroom needs.
What you will need:
- The PDF template
- Felt (size to be determined by the object you intend to place in the center)
- 1 (Lovely) Button
- 1 (Lovely) Length of Ribbon
- Scissors
- Thread for sewing the (Lovely) Button
- Something (Lovely) to put inside
The PDF template included above will be sufficient for creating your own lovely package but feel free to email Andrea for more directions--Have fun!

Karen Heading Towards the Panhandle
Tropical Storm Karen is actually drawing dry air into south Florida the next two days, bringing us mostly sunny skies, hot afternoons and only very slim rain chances. This continues through Saturday, so don't forget your sunglasses for your weekend plans!
By Sunday we see some changes, Karen will start drawing in some moisture, leading to showers and thunderstorms. We will actually see a second pass of this tropical moisture toward the middle of next week as well.
Tropical Storm Karen is down to 60 mph sustained and is still moving northwest. There are a lot of factors here so let me break it down—
Karen will be "sucked" up to the northwest by a cold front currently in Texas. Currently, wind shear has slowed the motion of the storm, but it is expected to pick back up in the next 24 hours.
Landfall is crucial for strength and there is a LOT of disagreement on the location. If the front picks up the storm early, landfall will be in Louisiana likely as a Tropical Storm. If it is a little later it will make landfall in the Florida panhandle and it will be a bit stronger, potentially a weak Category 1 hurricane.
REGARDLESS of landfall—the Florida panhandle has already seen record rainfall this year and is extremely vulnerable to flooding right now. They will get soaked either way. Flooding is a significant concern.

A lesson in dealing with the devil
Lindows — I'm sorry, it's Linspire — sold its soul recently to have Microsoft help them "build a better Linux" (waiting for laughter to die down). Here's a list of what they got:
True Type fonts.
Windows Media 10 Player.
DVD Playback.
Patent (ahem) "coverage," which many people might consider extorted "protection" money, but I digress.
That's it.
This deal is worse than the Novell deal, says Pamela Jones at Groklaw, and outlines Linspire's soul-selling-for-mere-pittance, line by line (almost), here. Being the journalist and legal eagle that she is (although she warns that you should consult a real attorney if the agreement affects you in real time), Jones goes to great lengths to show what a dog this deal is and displays, just as she has been tireless in the SCO case, just why it sucks to be Linspire these days.
At the end of her lengthy tome, she makes the following poignant observation which, going forward, should be at the forefront of the GNU/Linux discussion: "For myself, I think it's time to think really seriously about who should be allowed to use the name Linux, before the trademark loses all its traditional meaning."
Also, I can't help wondering how long it will take the people at Linspire to grab pitchforks and torches and race through the streets of Lindowsland looking for Kevin Carmony in order to give him a good tar-and-feathering.

If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.

Let say you had a form for ...whatever. For example a poll.. whose title is important enough to be a header... "Whatcha doing for Xmas?" and some radio buttons and submit. Would you put the Hx tag inside the form tag or outside ? I would like to know what is considered best practice: <hx> </hx> <form></form> or <form><hx> </hx> </form>.
I would follow the same concept as how the <fieldset> element works personally, you have the legend then the form which makes it clear and easy to understand.
so the does the fieldset represent the form tag ( the hx is within the form)?? or the Hx outside "then the form"? sorry I was kinda lost in your semantics.. no pun.
I was just referencing the <fieldset> element as a reference for the <legend> tag, basically in a semantic sense both of the examples below should yield the same SEO ouput since they are representing the content afterwards.
The advantage of the Legend element (within a fieldset) is that the text is then explicitly associated with the form, too. But the code should be like this:
... other form elements ...
Well my conundrum comes from the fact That in some cases I could already have fieldsets with legends.. or that the content may seem headline like.... Although for a poll question I can see how it would fit semantically to use LEGEND.
I suppose the feel I am getting thus far is that if a header must be involved it is best to put it outside the form tag.
I put EVERYTHING that is not a form control outside the form. Every time (well, not counting when I've been told to add "help text", which I then either stuff inside a form control or use ARIA to associate it). Users with a UA that has a "Forms Mode" will be getting only form controls inside the form, except ARIA-associated stuff.
I put the header outside (and above), I put the instructions outside (above! I hate when the instructions are at the bottom, I don't see that until after I've already filled everything in), and legend-text (like "fields marked with * are required").*edit by "legend-text" I mean like a map legend, not the <legend> element
Only on simple, dedicated form pages would I consider letting the (lone) legend do that work (often if it's redundant I'll just hide the legend rather than not have a header).
In this specific case the heading would typically belong outside of the form since you are introducing the form.
Yeah, makes sense. I was torn because I saw an opportunity to streamline the css and utilize an already existing container. BUT at the same time felt exactly the same way as what Mallory expressed. So I decided to do what any good leader would do and ask what everyone else was doing
Haha, and as I come back to this thread, I'm currently battling a long, complicated single form who happens to have craploads of plain text inside it. It's sort of an output-like content, but the <output> tag is not correct for this case.
Now going to have to break my head trying to figure out how to present all this content inside a form (basically people are adding and changing bits of text; their set text is displayed later, and there's descriptions of what these types of text are... and there simply aren't correct form controls for this text. #doomed

Only Halsted and his inexperienced "cook" were left standing.
Talking with Coneys and Halsted dramatically revised my view of Lennon as a reclusive and contrary man.
As mountainous seas rolled down upon them, smashing over the deck, Halsted left him to it.
Halsted and Coneys said they saw a new man standing on the deck afterwards.
He has probably opened a costumer's shop on Halsted street with them.
He died at Halsted poorhouse from the effects of the ill-usage.
Robert of Halsted, one knight's fee in Halsted, and half a knight's fee in Brockley.
In the end he seized the paper and rushed out of the house, and all the way across the yards to Halsted Street.
She learned how important were things of which Halsted Street took no cognisance.
Halsted hurried back to the platform, and Allison, relieved, settled once more in his seat.
Halsted Hal·sted (hôl'stəd, -stěd'), William Stewart. 1852-1922.
American surgeon who developed the use of cocaine in anesthesiology and proposed the use of rubber gloves during surgery.
American surgeon who discovered the technique of local anesthesia by injecting cocaine into specific nerves in 1885. He administered what is believed to be the first blood transfusion in the United States in 1881. Halsted also developed new surgical techniques for treating cancers and other abnormalities and introduced the use of rubber gloves during surgery.

Google Calendar : One calendar to rule them all?
I was actually thinking of this idea not more than 3 days ago and thought of how I could work with Google to make millions...looks like I was a couple of months too late...doh!
Organise your schedule and share events with friends
Would it not be great to be able to keep track of all the events in your life, coordinate schedules with friends and family and find new things to do, all with one online calendar? We thought so, too.
* Seeing the big picture
With Google Calendar, you can see your friends' and family's schedules right next to your own; quickly add events mentioned in Google Mail conversations or saved in other calendar applications; and add other interesting events that you find online.
* Sharing events and calendars
You decide who can see your calendar and which details they can view. Are you planning an event? You can create invitations, send reminders and keep track of RSVPs right inside Google Calendar. Organisations can promote events, too.
* Staying on schedule
You can set up automatic event reminders, including mobile phone notifications, and instantly bring up anything on your calendar with the built-in search tool.
Very good idea...*cry*

Police: Montana man laid trap, killed teen
(NEWSER) – A Montana couple frustrated by recent thefts allegedly set a trap for potential burglars—and upon hearing a would-be intruder after midnight on Sunday, the husband fired four shots into the darkness, he says. Now, Markus Kaarma of Missoula has been charged in the death of German exchange student, Diren Dede, 17, who was hit by bullets in the head and arm, the AP reports. The couple had set up sensors and cameras around their garage, whose door they left open; Kaarma's wife, Janelle Pflager, left her purse there "so they would take it," she said, per court documents. She reportedly told police the couple had been robbed twice in three weeks.

Hi Robert,
I finally solved my problem. It was a bad setting on
my Radius Server. Since I am using a different Radius
server than you are, this solution won't directly
solve your problem. However by understanding my
solution, it may point you in the right direction to
solve yours.
I am using the Multitech Radius Server. I was going
through the logs and noticed that the error messages
started to appear after all the stuff related to
setting up MPPE (Microsoft Point to Point Encryption).
I started to look at how MPPE worked and ran across
the following note in an old version the MPD manual
(Compression section).
When enabled, MPPE types (40, 56 or 128 bit) and MPPE
policies (whether encryption is required or optional)
are controlled by the RADIUS server.
As a result I went back to the manual for the
Multitech Radius Server and started looking for
anything related to MPPE. Nothing. Then I looked at
the readme file and found the following line under a
section marked "About "users" file:"
MPPE (Microsoft Point to Point Encryption) can be
enabled by adding a line
Vendor-Specific = MPPE_ALLOWED
to the user file (no explanation of course).
Bingo, suddenly everything works.
Here is a link to my log after I did this:
For those who want to use the Multitech Radius Server
with Monowall's PPTP you need to edit each username in
the "user" file to look something like the following
(make sure you stop and the restart the Server after
you edit the file):
Username Auth-Type = Local, Password = "password"
Vendor-Specific = MPPE_ALLOWED
Needless to say I think you need to look at your
Radius Server settings specifically as they relate to
MPPE. It appears that there is nothing wrong with
Hope this helps. Please post if you get your system

Sitting alongside the Exige S, Exige Cup and Exige Cup R, the Exige S Roadster completes the Exige line-up and enhances the track focussed collection by providing a new facet to the range. Powered by the same 3.5L V6 as the coupé variants and weighing in at 10kg less than the Exige S at 1166kg, none of the exhilarating performance of the phenomenal Exige range is compromised, yet the driver is only 'two clicks and a roll' away from cruising in open-top style thanks to the lightweight, factory-fitted soft top.
Achieving 0-60 mph from standing in 3.8 seconds, delivering 345 hp at 7000 rpm (350 PS) and 295 lb ft of torque at 4500 rpm, the Roadster matches the coupé's mechanical performance and retains its £52,900 price tag, but style takes an understated approach having shed its rear wing and front splitter to maximise airflow over its sleek silhouette.
The introduction of the new Exige to the Lotus product range has provided a new opportunity for the Norfolk based sports car brand to expand and strengthen its production resource, generating new jobs and opportunities for skilled individuals who want to be part of the Lotus story.
The Exige S Roadster is the perfect car for a 'joy' ride; what better way is there to enjoy the panoramic views of the world's most beautiful roads than when they are enhanced by the purposeful roar of a V6 soundtrack and to feel the wind in your hair and sun on your skin?
Exige S Roadster is now available to order with the full list of options and extras as available on the Exige S coupé, with the extra interior option of quilted leather seats and door trim details.

As used in this chapter "United States" includes Alaska. "Acquired lands" or "lands acquired by the United States" include all lands heretofore or hereafter acquired by the United States to which the "mineral leasing laws" have not been extended, including such lands acquired under the provisions of sections 480, 500, 513 to 519, 521, 552, and 563 of Title 16. "Secretary" means the Secretary of the Interior. "Mineral leasing laws" shall mean the Act of October 20, 1914; the Act of February 25, 1920; the Act of April 17, 1926; the Act of February 7, 1927, and all Acts heretofore or hereafter enacted which are amendatory of or supplementary to any of the foregoing Acts. "Lease" includes "prospecting permit" unless the context otherwise requires. (Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 513, § 2, 61 Stat. 913.)
Except where lands have been acquired by the United States for the development of the mineral deposits, by foreclosure or otherwise for resale, or reported as surplus pursuant to the provisions of
Page 1291
the Surplus Property Act of 1944, all deposits of coal, phosphate, oil, oil shale, gas, sodium, potassium, and sulfur which are owned or may hereafter be acquired by the United States and which are within the lands acquired by the United States (exclusive of such deposits in such acquired lands as are (a) situated within incorporated cities, towns and villages, national parks or monuments, (b) set apart for military or naval purposes, or (c) tidelands or submerged lands) may be leased by the Secretary under the same conditions as contained in the leasing provisions of the mineral leasing laws, subject to the provisions hereof. The provisions of sections 271 to 276 of this title shall apply to deposits of sulfur covered by this chapter wherever situated. No mineral deposit covered by this section shall be leased except with the consent of the head of the executive department, independent establishment, or instrumentality having jurisdiction over the lands containing such deposit, or holding a mortgage or deed of trust secured by such lands which is unsatisfied of record, and subject to such conditions as that official may prescribe to insure the adequate utilization of the lands for the primary purposes for which they have been acquired or are being administered: Provided, That nothing in this chapter is intended, or shall be construed, to apply to or in any manner affect any mineral rights, exploration permits, leases or conveyances nor minerals that are or may be in any tidelands; or submerged lands; or in lands underlying the three mile zone or belt involved in the case of the United States of America against the State of California now pending on application for rehearing in the Supreme Court of the United States; or in lands underlying such three mile zone or belt, or the continental shelf, adjacent or littoral to any part of the land within the jurisdiction of the United States of America.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to (a) amend, modify, or change any existing law authorizing or requiring the sale of acquired lands, or (b) empower any commission, bureau, or agency of the Government to make a reservation of the minerals in the sale of any acquired land: Provided, That any such sale or conveyance of lands shall be made by the agency having jurisdiction thereof, subject to any lease theretofore made, covering the mineral deposits underlying such lands: Provided further, That nothing in this chapter is intended, or shall be construed to affect in any manner any provision of the Act of June 30, 1938 (32 Stat. 1252), amending the Act of June 4, 1920 (41 Stat. 813). (Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 513, § 4, 61 Stat. 914.)
Where the United States does not own all of the mineral deposits under any lands sought to be leased and which are affected by this chapter, the Secretary is authorized to lease the interest of the United States in any such mineral deposits when, in the judgment of the Secretary, the public interest will be best served thereby; subject, however, to the provisions of section 352 of this title. Where the United States does not own any interest or owns less than a full interest in the minerals that may be produced from any lands sought to be leased, and which are or will be affected by this chapter and where, under the provisions of its acquisition, the United States is to acquire all or any part of such mineral deposits in the future, the Secretary may lease any interest of the United States then owned or to be acquired in the future in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. (Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 513, § 5, 61 Stat. 914.)
All receipts derived from leases issued under the authority of this chapter shall be paid into the same funds or accounts in the Treasury and shall be distributed in the same manner as prescribed for other receipts from the lands affected by the lease, the intention of this provision being that this chapter shall not affect the distribution of receipts pursuant to legislation applicable to such lands: Provided, however, That receipts from leases or permits for minerals in lands set apart for Indian use, including lands the jurisdiction of which has been transferred to the Department of the Interior by the Executive order for Indian use, shall be deposited in a special fund in the Treasury until final disposition thereof by the Congress. (Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 513, § 6, 61 Stat. 915.)
Upon request by the Secretary, the heads of all executive departments, independent establishments, or instrumentalities having jurisdiction over any of the lands referred to in section 351 of this title shall furnish to the Secretary the legal description of all of such lands, and all pertinent abstracts, title papers, and other documents in the possession of such agencies concerning the status of the title of the United States to the mineral deposits that may be found in such lands.
Abstracts, title papers, and other documents furnished to the Secretary under this section shall be recorded promptly in the Bureau of Land Management in such form as the Secretary shall deem adequate for their preservation and use in the administration of this chapter, whereupon the originals shall be returned promptly to the agency from which they were received. Duly authenticated copies of any such abstracts, title papers, or other documents may, however, be furnished to the Secretary, in lieu of the originals, in the discretion of the agency concerned. (Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 513, § 7, 61 Stat. 915.)
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to affect the rights of the State or other local authorities to exercise any right which they may have with respect to properties covered by leases issued under this chapter, including the right to levy and collect taxes upon improvements, output of mines, or other rights, property, or assets of any lessee of the United States. (Aug. 7, 1947, ch. 513, § 8, 61 Stat. 915.)
Nothing in this chapter shall affect any rights acquired by any lessee of lands subject to this chapter under the law as it existed prior to August 7, 1947, and such rights shall be governed by the law in effect at the time of their acquisition; but any person qualified to hold a lease who, on August 7, 1947, had pending an application for an oil and gas lease for any lands subject to this chapter which on the date the application was filed was not situated within the known geologic

structure of a producing oil or gas field, shall have a preference right over others to a lease of such lands without competitive bidding. Any person holding a lease on lands subject hereto, which lease was issued prior to August 7, 1947, shall be entitled to exchange such lease for a new lease issued under the provisions of this chapter, at any time prior to the expiration of such existing lease.

The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to prescribe such rules and regulations as are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of this chapter, which rules and regulations shall be the same as those prescribed under the mineral leasing laws to the extent that they are applicable.

Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe
Revealing the African Presence in Renaissance Europe invites visitors to explore the roles of Africans and their descendants in Renaissance Europe as revealed in compelling paintings, drawings, sculpture and printed books of the period. Vivid portraits from life both encourage face-to-face encounters with the individuals themselves and pose questions about the challenges of color, class, and stereotypes that this new diversity brought to Europe. Despite the importance of the questions posed for audiences today, this is the first time they have been addressed in a major exhibition. Organized by the Walters, the exhibition opens in Baltimore on October 14 and at the Princeton University Art Museum in February 2013. It will feature about 75 works of art drawn from the Walters, major museums in the U.S. and Europe, and private collections.above: Portrait of a Wealthy African / Flemish or German / ca. 1540 / Private Collection, Antwerp
The exhibition is supported by funding from the Richard C. von Hess Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Maryland Humanities Council, the Bernard Family, Andie and Jack Laporte, Christie's, Kathryn Coke Rienhoff, Lynn and Philip Rauch, Cynthia Alderdice, Joel M. Goldfrank, CANUSA Corporation Charitable Fund, Constance R. Caplan, Stanley Mazaroff and Nancy Dorman, the V.A. Reid Charitable Fund, Harbor Bank of Maryland, the Flamer Family Fund and other generous donors. The publication is generously supported by the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Publication Fund. This exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

The companies partnered on construction of the Hebron offshore oil platform have responded to concerns being expressed this week around compliance with a benefits agreement signed with the province.
According to a spokeswoman for the Hebron project partnership — including ExxonMobil Canada Properties (36 per cent interest), Chevron Canada Limited (26.7 per cent), Suncor Energy Inc. (22.7 per cent), Statoil Canada (9.7 per cent) and Nalcor Energy (4.9 per cent) — there is no issue.
"The Hebron co-venturers are complying with the project Benefits Agreement. There is a substantial amount of work being done in the province by Newfoundland and Labrador residents. In fact, as of the end of 2013, almost 4,000 Newfoundland and Labrador residents were working on the Hebron project in the province," stated project rep Lynn Evans, in response to questions today.
Earlier story:
Province looking into Hebron complaints
Association hints that benefits agreement has been violated
The provincial government is taking a hard look at recent rumblings the $14-billion Hebron project is running afoul of an agreed provincial benefits plan.
"Our intent is to ensure that commitments in the benefits agreement are honoured and we expect the operator to adhere to its contractual commitments it has made with the province," said Natural Resources Minister Derrick Dalley, in a response to questions early Tuesday evening.
"We take all these matters seriously and we are investigating."
The Telegram contacted the department after seeing a statement being circulated by Noia, the province's oil industry association, to its members, assuring them the association was aware of some recent discontent with the Hebron project regarding compliance with the benefits agreement.
"Noia members have expressed concerns about contract packages for the Hebron project," it reads.
"Noia has been working on this important industrial benefit issue on behalf of membership and it is our expectation that both the government of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Hebron project proponent, ExxonMobil, adhere and comply with the commitments as outlined in the Hebron benefits agreement."
A Noia spokeswoman told The Telegram the statement was, in part, in reaction to recent news reports about skilled trades workers' concerns about fabrication work going outside the province.
As of deadline, The Telegram had yet to identify any specific complaints or complainants.
Work for Hebron being sent outside the province is a serious matter. For example, when the provincial government announced it would allow a large piece of the overall platform build — the derrick equipment set (DES) — to be built outside the province, it stipulated the companies partnered on the project would pay $150 million in compensation for the work lost here.
The DES and the utilities process module, both being parts of the top side of the Hebron offshore oil platform, are being built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea. In this province, the immense concrete base of the platform is being built at Bull Arm, as is the living quarters module for the topsides.
The living quarters is being built by NEAL — a partnership of North Eastern Constructors Limited, a division of G.J. Cahill, and Norwegian contractor Apply Leirvik.
The topsides will also need a flare boom, lifeboat stations and helideck supplied.
Recent complaints are apparently focused on subcontract work on the project though, again, it remains unclear where the Hebron partners are alleged to have violated the benefits agreement.

Midsummer Nights Steeped In New Wave and Mysticism
Devo, which got started in Ohio in 1972 and released its first album in 1978, returned to prove that its songs still have some bite. Paradoxes have always collected around Devo. It started as an art project, turned into a cult band and had its moment as a pop novelty hit maker with ''Whip It'' in 1980. Its songs use constricted structures to foster both tension and comedy, as when Mark Mothersbaugh proclaims, ''I've got an uncontrollable urge,'' to music that's strictly under control.

It's free at the point of delivery. Is that better?
It's free at the point of delivery. Is that better?
My wife and I had a not too great time the NHS 11 weeks ago when my daughter was born. The way in which they dealt with it was appaling they "forgot" to give her pain killers for hours the day after a C section even though she repeatedly asked and they told her every time she asked that someone would be around in a minute, this went on for 8 hours.
Thats just the tip of the iceburg though.
I almost lost my daughter and my Mrs during child birth and now my daughter may have a certain level of brain damage in the future because them ignorant and know-it-all fuckwit nurses at New Cross hospital point blank refused us a c-section even though my Mrs had pre-eclampsia.
In the moments where me and my mrs should of been bonding with our daughter I had to stand by and watch them bring my daughter back from the dead repeatedly for the first 13 minutes of her life.
She was barely 2hrs old when she was hooked up to a brainwave scanning machine, Surrounded by a bunch of nurses and student nurses like some fucking freakshow exhibit.
The NHS may be free but we have certainly paid heavily.
fucking hell. i hope shes ok mate and get no problems in the future.
a mate of mine rushed his daughter in a few years back with suspected menengitis and the hospital done a few tests and said no it was some other infection and sent her home. later that day he took her back down and they were disgusted that the docs in the morning missed it. the little girl was 18 months old and got server brain damage. they took they hospital to court and because my mate had quite a large criminal recordand a couple of convictions for drugs they spent the whole time question him on his past as if it was his fault what happened.

The Alan Parsons Project
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
- This article is about the English Prog Rock band of the 1970s and 1980s.. For the band co-founder, see Alan Parsons Project (Musician).
The Alan Parsons Project (also known as The Alan Parsons Project; Alan Parsons Project, The; Project, Parson, Alan, The; The Poor Man's Yes, The Thinking Man's ELO, and The Real Slim Shady) were an English Prog rock band based in England, somewhere near Abbey Road Studios.
Made up of two brothers, Eric Woolfson Project and his rather mysterious brother, Alan Parsons Project, the band redefined Prog during the 70s and 80s, then redefined themselves, then redefined redefining themselves, then redefined beards.
Perhaps the most notable fact about Alan's history is that he was assistant engineer on many of The Beatles's's albums whilst they were being recorded at Abbey Road studios. This fact will be the first thing any Project fan will tell you, also the second, third and fourth things, and then repeated every twelve to fifteen minutes until you kill them, and even then until you hide the body. This article, in honor of Project fandom, will follow suit.
edit History
edit Formation and Early Days
The Alan Parsons Project, the band, was started by the brothers Project: Alan Parsons Project and Eric Woolfson Project, soon after Alan became tired of endlessly engineering albums for The Beatles at Abbey Road studios. Eric wanted to write, but couldn't play; Alan could play, but couldn't write. Even after considering the fact that they were brothers, it was a marriage made in Heaven, or at least at Elektra/Asylum records.
Soon after they decided to form a band, they ran into what could have been a fatal obstacle: despite having a single singer/songwriters talent between them, they actually had no ideas for music … not a thing. After a night brainstorming, they both it upon an idea, as a gestalt entity, as it were: They'd create concept albums based on popular works of literature. This provided a thematic hook to hand thier musical hats on; moreover, it would fool thousands of eager book buyers into buying their albums by mistake.
edit First Albums
Thus was borne the first two albums by the Group; Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Edgar Allan Poe (only on a record), and I Robot, You Jane, mocking the styles of Poe and Isaac Asimov respectively (and also without respect). The group's opening gambit worked, and by the time of the third album, Surprise, We're Actually A Band (Had You Worked That Out?), had – amazingly enough, built a fan base.
Certainly, the fan base was confused SF geeks and other Prog Rock wierdos who'd thought they'd bought Pink Floyd and Yes albums, but they liked what they heard, even though they couldn't really be sure of what it was they were listening to.
This was all enabled by the fact that, as a youth, young Alan was an assistant engineer under (and above, and sometimes in awkward positions) The Beatles at Abbey Road Studios. In case anyone forgot.
edit The Semi-Obscure Years
As befit their Zelig-like persona, the bad formed themselves like an amoeba around every theme they tackled, becoming the theme but also staying uniquely themselves, but just in a way you couldn't quite put your finger on. Through the albums Pyramidscheme, Eve (Not The Douche or the Cigarette), and The Credit Of A Friendly Card, they perfected a style that came close to convincing their fans that they were the band they thought they had come to see. During this period, people thought they were viewing anyone from Yes to Jethro Tull to not only Emerson, Lake and Palmer to just Emerson and Lake without the Palmer.This almost backfired once when, in a December 1978 concert at Madison Square Garden, the band went so far into Palmer that they started doing Robert Palmer, and the cognitive dissonance caused people to nearly riot. A release of Nag Champa incense and single malt scotch calmed the mob a great deal, though many of them remain addicted to love to this day, and are still in rehab.
edit The Commercial Years
After a long time building up a devoted (if bemused) hard core of fans, the Project went through a morphing into a more commercial sound which usually occurs, music anthropologist find, about three-quarters the way to final irrelevancy. To do this the band assumed a more solid form an identifiable image with the introduction of actual instruments.
A horn section was also added, which fleshed out the band's actual sound quite a bit, though many people tended to confuse them with Chicago from then on out.
Another innovation for the band was to begin releasing actual albums. Seeming to resemble any other band the listeners pleased saved the group a great deal of money by not actually having to release physical disks. With the next release, Sty in the Sky, an actual vinyl record was released, causing such remarkable singles as the title track, "Psychiatristbabble", and "Old and Creaky" to ascend the charts like never before.
With the newfound popularity, however, came the demand for moar touring and the band, thus far having obscured their own identities to the point where people were not completely sure they'd seen them at all during a performance, had to have an identifiable face to go along with the new style. This was achieved by an ever-changing rotation of performers, including David Hasselhoff, Cthulhu, Tina Turner, Ian Anderson, Your Mom, and four Eric Claptons.
It was this period that gave the band it's last and most well-known nickname, "Prog Rock Menudo".
edit Decline and Fall
The band's last three albums, Ammonia Avenue, Stereotomy, and Gaudi, while meeting with critical acclaim (Robert Christgau, self-appointed "Dean of American Rock Critics" having lauded them by celebrating their use of actual musical notes) did not fare so well with the public after the public began to wake up and see what sort of a laugh the Project brothers had of them. As a matter of fact, the last album, 1985's Gaudi sold only seven copies, three of which were bought by a reclusive stamp collector in Des Moines, Iowa. Fortunately for the band, however, that stamp collector paid USD$2,350,000 for each copy, enabling Eric and Alan to enter hiding and erase most tracks of their existence.
Recent research has uncovered, however, that Eric Woolfson Project has moved to the steppes of Russia to a Buddhist monastery there, billing himself as the "Hello Dolly Lama", whereas Alan was finally disassembled in 1997 and remains in a storage unit somewhere outside Croydon, England, being saved against the time he will have to ride out and save the realm once again, or at least, assistant-engineer and the Abbey-freaking-Road Studios.
edit The Alan Parsons Project Controversy
A source of controversy amongst fans is the actual nature of Alan Parsons Project himself. It's conjectured, actually, that Alan's name springs from the fact that he is actually a cloned or artificial being, assembled in the basement labs of Abbey-goddamn-Road Studios. Notes from early digs in the ruins of the studio seem to suggest that the Alan Parsons Project wasn't so much a band as a Project to create Alan Parsons (the fact he remains in storage in South London is considered a coincidence, and perhaps he slipped on a strumpet or something).
Though there is no solid evidence to go on, this article is happy to wildly spread irresponsible rumor just to see what happens, and to get a laugh or two.
Carry on.
edit He Was Assistant Engineer at Abbey Road Studios
This section was created to make sure we're up to quota on the number of times this trivium should be repeated in any discussion of Alan Parsons Project. We should be up to quota now.
Is this the last word on that subject?
No. Not by a long shot.

By Lesli Nolen
December 2009
I am so proud and blessed to have such an amazing group of friends and family. In last month's article I asked you readers to send me what you are thankful for. I wanted December's article to be full of blessings. Well, my prayers were answered. I hope you enjoy reading about how God is blessing the lives of so many people. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I can't wait to see what God has planned for us in 2010.
Amanda Abell—I'm most thankful for the mature realization of how important family is! As an ungrateful, unappreciative teen I was consumed with myself and did not have time for my family. In my 20s I was overwhelmed with being a single mom and so desperately afraid I would spend eternity alone, I was endlessly searching for Mr. Wonderful. However, in the last few years, I have realized I am not alone I have three beautiful children and a grandchild I adore. I am so thankful for my parents for their unconditional love, endless patience and never ending knowledge! I only have one sibling who is always there when I need him even though I don't see him very often.
His spouse and her children have blessed our family tremendously. With maturity comes certain clarity on what I am truly thankful for and that is definitely my family!
Heather Cornelius—I am thankful for the blessing of my youngest daughter, who was quite the surprise—little did we know what God had in store for us. She was born on October 1st of 2007. My dad was then diagnosed with lung cancer on the 29th of October. He gave his life to Christ shortly before he passed away in January of 2008. My mom then passed away in March of '08. I truly believe my daughter was part of God's plan to help me move on and get past the death of my parents. Our lives may be in total chaos at a time of struggle but we can look back and see how those trials strengthen our faith and change our lives forever.
Fowlan Smith—Today I am thankful to the Lord for sending His Son, so that we may all be forgiven. What an ultimate sacrifice!!! Thank you GOD!!! I am thankful for the blessing of God's Grace in all that I do in life. No matter what the task it always becomes possible, in some way, with Him on my side.
Christi Harris—Today, I am most thankful for God's Word. He has not left me in darkness, but has given me His Truth through the Bible so that I can be strengthened by keeping my eyes on His promises and things to come. When life is too overwhelming I am not left relying on the words of men, but with the overwhelming comfort knowing My Lord Jesus is in control no matter what the circumstance.
Marla Woodward—I am thankful for the joy we are given through Jesus. No matter what is going on in my life or how bleak things might look to our human eyes, there is always an underlying joy that is only known from a relationship with our Savior. Knowing that He is always there, loving me unconditionally brings a smile to my face everyday. It helps me to remember that this world in temporary but He is forever!
Ginger Whitson—I am most thankful for my family's health. I am thankful that I have a job because there are many without. I can't help but thank God that HE is my provider! When it seems as though bills won't get paid, miraculously they do! He truly is Jehovah Jireh.
Liesel Cottrell—I have so much to be thankful for right now! I have a beautiful healthy new son and a quick recovery from a C-section! I have an AMAZING family that has helped through the journey of rough pregnancy and deployment of my husband. God also did a miracle and brought my husband home to be with me when Josh was born.
Angel Haley—I read your article and am truly blessed by what you said about counting my blessings. Lesli, I do thank God for everything that I have and that happens to me every day. I also prayed today that God would let the fruits of His Spirit poor out of me today as with being a police and 911 dispatcher, I really need to have people around me see God through me.
Cory Bishop Wofford—I have made many mistakes in my life and with that I now can look back and I am no longer angry. I am thankful for God always being there right by my side and giving me life. Life is too short for anger and hate. "THANK YOU GOD FOR MY LIFE, FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND ALWAYS BEING THERE!!" Amen.
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men." Luke 2:8-14

Riverton • The Murray softball team seized some momentum heading into the state playoffs by clawing its way past Riverton on Thursday.
The Spartans overcame a strong outing by Riverton starting pitcher Cortney Platt to post a 6-4 victory in nine innings against the second-place team from Region 3.
The Spartans outhit Riverton 17-9 and committed half as many errors as the Silverwovles, yet they needed a two-run homer by Maddie Fitsch in the sixth inning to pull even.
"It really shows our heart and drive,"Murray senior Lauren Bell said. "We're really excited that we got this win going right into the state playoffs because it really shows what we're capable of."
Platt allowed one run in the first inning, but she looked unstoppable entering the sixth.
Riverton enjoyed a 3-1 lead, but Murray leadoff hitter Christal Milne smacked a double to left field. Fitsch followed that by belting one over the center-field fence to even the score at 3-3 and put the momentum in the Spartans' dugout.
Both teams scored a run in the eighth before Murray ended it in the ninth.
Bell hit a grounder up the middle to Platt, who committed one of her few miscues of the day when her throw sailed over the first baseman's head. That allowed a run to score, and Bell scored on a hit by Emily Adams to make the final score.
"I just knew that, at this pace, we really just have to take advantage of other people's errors," Bell said. "They're not going to give it to us. Riverton's a really good team, and they're not just going to hand us the game, so you just have to take charge and do what you know how to do."
Both teams will host games in the playoffs. Murray, the No. 2 seed out of Region 7, will face East.
Riverton, the No. 2 seed from Region 4, will host Brighton. The Silverwolves defeated the Bengals in their first game of the season.
