Watch out, Uggie! Pudsey is on your tail.
Paul McCartney headlines the Diamond Jubilee concert next month for Queen Elizabeth II, but even the "cute Beatle" can't beat Pudsey the pooch for adorableness, as Her Majesty is soon to find out.
Pudsey, a shaggy white mutt, and his 17-year-old owner, Ashleigh Butler, took the top prize in the Britain's Got Talent show in London over the weekend, dancing away with nearly $800,000 in prize money after they cha-cha-ed into the hearts of the judges and zillions of dog-loving Brits.
The queen, the most famous dog lover in the land, will get to see Pudsey and Ashleigh perform at the Royal Variety Show in November at Royal Albert Hall. The annual gala, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, raises money for retired entertainers.
The video of the dancing duo's routine instantly went viral. No one was more surprised than Butler, who appeared with her sleepy dog on a morning chat show to explain that she had expected the other finalists, a singing couple, to win. Butler, who has been training dogs for years, said ham-sandwich treats are especially motivating for Pudsey.
Meanwhile, according to the British media, Simon Cowell of BGT is making plans to fly Pudsey to Hollywood, get him a dog-food deal and take on American cute canine champ Uggie, the Jack Russell terrier who charmed all in the Oscar-winning The Artist.
"I can't wait to see people's jaws drop when I show them what (Pudsey) can do," Cowell told The Sun tabloid. "I really do think he could become a worldwide star. Maybe our biggest star yet. Pudsey is the people's favorite."

News Pollo Campero Opens Tuesday, Part of Revitalized Marumsco Plaza
WOODBRIDGE, Va. — The work to revitalize Woodbridge's Marumsco Plaza takes another step forward Tuesday with the opening of a Pollo Campero restaurant.
The eatery known for its Latin flavors, and fried and grilled chicken, will open its newest location at the U.S. shopping center. It will join several new stores at the plaza, including a new Walgreens Pharmacy, and a newly relocated BB&T Bank.
The new restaurant is expected to bring 25 new jobs to the area, and is one of 400 Pollo Campero eateries worldwide.
More in a press release:
"We are excited to continue our expansion throughout Virginia where we have such a large base of devoted Pollo Campero fans," said President and COO of Campero USA, Roberto Denegri. "We are honored to be a part of the Marumsco Plaza revitalization and look forward to becoming more involved with the Woodbridge community and sharing the tastes of Latin America."
The opening in Woodbridge will mark the fourth restaurant in Virginia for Pollo Campero and the ninth restaurant serving the Washington D.C. market. To celebrate the newest addition to the Pollo Campero family, guests purchasing a minimum of 10 pieces at any Virginia Pollo Campero restaurant can take advantage of $1 Pollo Days and purchase a leg or thigh for only $1 through mid-October.
Pollo Campero is known for its unique Latin flavors and hand prepared fried and grilled chicken, made exactly the same way as when its first location opened in 1971 in Guatemala. The restaurant's distinctive menu also includes fan favorite Latin specialty drinks like Jamaica and Horchata, hand-rolled empanadas and signature Latin desserts like Flan.
Though Pollo Campero has a global reach today, it was founded as a small family restaurant in Guatemala. The establishment quickly grew to become the world's largest Latin chicken restaurant chain and is embraced by more than 85 million people worldwide every year.

Chen Guangcheng has reportedly left China for the US.
According to the Associated Press, the blind activist, his wife and two children boarded a flight from Beijing to New York this afternoon. It is due to arrive at Newark airport this evening.
"I am requesting a leave of absence," Chen reportedly told the AP shortly before boarding, "and I hope that [my supporters] will understand."
Chen's wife, Yuan Weijing, told the Wall Street Journal that Chinese officials had collected the family from the hospital room where they have been staying since Chen emerged from the US embassy almost three weeks ago.
"They came in and told us to get everything together at 12.30 and we left at 1 o'clock," she said.
More from GlobalPost: Chen Guangcheng's nephew denied lawyers, brother beaten
Chen left the US embassy on May 2, having sought shelter there after escaping house arrest – an episode that embarrassed the Chinese government and caused diplomatic tension with the US.
He initially said he planned to study in China, but subsequently asked for help to leave the country, apparently after his family complained of harassment at the hands of the authorities.
Chen has been offered a place to study law at New York University.
Earlier this week, he told reporters that Chinese officials had promised him and his family passports "within 15 days," while the US State Department has already said that all the paperwork is in place for them to get their American visas.
Observers have expressed fears that Chen's extended family may face retribution from local officials after his departure. His brother has complained of being beaten in the days after Chen's escape from house arrest, while his nephew may face charges of attempted murder for allegedly pulling a knife on officials who came to his house for information.

PASSING OFFENSE: C -- QB Byron Leftwich was intercepted twice in the first half against the Bills, helping to put his team in a 17-0 first quarter hole. But he brought the Bucs back to within one score by halftime. Leftwich, however, is taking too many hits after he throws the ball.
RUSHING OFFENSE: C -- The Bucs only attempted 19 rushes. That's not their game. But falling behind didn't help matters. The Bucs need to do a better job of getting balance in their offense.
PASS DEFENSE: F -- For the most part, the Bucs did a good job on Terrell Owens. But he burned the Bucs with a long TD pass to put the game away in the fourth quarter. Lee Evans had a TD in the first quarter. The Bucs' only two sacks Sunday were the result of good coverage.
RUSH DEFENSE: F -- Unheralded RB Fred Jackson rushed for 163 yards. The Bucs missed 24 tackles and did a poor job trying to stop the run with the front seven. The defensive line is playing poorly.
SPECIAL TEAMS: C -- P Dirk Johnson did a good job of pinning the Bills deep and had a career-high 63 yarder. PK Mike Nugent had no FG chances and his kickoffs were nothing great. Still more work to do here.
COACHING: F -- The Bucs are not prepared well on defense. They're caught between trying to play the new scheme and reverting back to zone coverage. It's going to be a very long season.

Kirk Douglas has 6,342 friends
He was 44 when he said "I am Spartacus!" He was 90 when he became MySpace's most famous blogger. Now, at 92, Kirk Douglas is back doing what he loves most — acting, and in his very own theatre. On Sunday night, he'll be performing a one-man show, Before I Forget, in the new Kirk Douglas Theatre in Los Angeles. But don't even think about booking tickets. The show sold out in five minutes.
"They say I'm the oldest blogger on MySpace. Perhaps that's true, but now I might be the oldest actor to do a one-man show," Douglas wrote in a recent post. The blog features his thoughts on US politics (he's an Obama fan) and films. His favourites are Spartacus, Paths to Glory and Lonely Are the Brave ("I just happen to be in these movies," he wrote). Douglas says that the blog's purpose is to encourage discussion with the thousands of people who read it. "I express my opinion, and I tell them that they don't have to agree with me, because it's a free country," he told CNN.

Regions Playable on F-10 DVD?
Does anyone know what NTSC regions are supported and playable on the in-car DVD player? Is it just North America, or will it play other regions as well? :dunno:
Option Code S697A Area-Code 1 for DVD will only allow for playpack of Canada, USA and US territories encoded DVD's.
Thanks, Shawn. Is there any way that you know of to "code" the car to allow it to play all, or multiple regions?
You can code it for other specific regions though (Area-Code 1 though 6).

Despite the state of utter exhaustion after crazy long hours spent filming episodes for his recent Ramadan riddles show "Musalsaliko" [2], Egyptian comedian actor Mohammad Hunaidi failed to get a vacay. The actor's family had forbidden him to travel and take a vacation because of their tradition of spending the Muslim holiday Eid El Fitr together and feasting with extended family.
According to Laha Magazine, Mohammad noted that after the holidays he plans to take his wife and children for a short vacation to the shores of Egypt and spend some quiet time fishing and enjoying the warm weather.
Next year's holy month may not be quite as busy for the controversial funny man [3]. Mohammad denied rumors that he has signed a contract for a second season of his riddles show to be aired during the Ramadan season of 2014. He stressed that he has no intention of presenting the same idea for a riddles show and if he considers it the theme must be completely different than the one he presented this year.
Did you watch this year's Musalsaliko show? What did you think? Please let us know by commenting below!

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
If you have had success with this medication and it helps, I would not worry about getting "hooked". When and if the time comes and your GP feels you should try to go off them she will tell you how. To ease your concerns, next time you see her ask her about it. My opinion is if you are feeling better on them then stay on them. I understand you don't want to rely on medication however (as I suggest to others who worry or don't like taking medication), if you were diabetic and had to rely on insulin you would do it because it's necessary. Same thing here, if it works why would you subject yourself to possibly feeling the way you did before?
DA started on Sunday, I was pleased it came back for another season, so well done. Call the Midwife has really taken off in the states. I saw six episodes and don't believe the Christmas one was broadcast here, I'll have to check. Glad to see another season. I saw "Chummy" on the Graham Norton show but was in a crowded room so didn't get to hear much with all the conversation going on. Would have liked to see that.
It says you are here but I have to go in a minute. I'll wait
as long as I can
I have just got here
Just returned from work and got to log in
hi, glad we managed to be here at same time
bankers hours? off work early...lol
me too
so quickly tell me why the thoughts about going off the medication before I have to go
sort of like that, all the kids are safely home
are you just curious as to how you would feel?
Well, mainly because I'm not sure how long I should stay on the medication
and a bit curious as to how I would feel and so as to not get so reliant on them because they are powerful things.
I see, well I think that is something you need to discuss with your GP. I understand your concern about taking medication but as I said if you need it, take it.
ok, that makes sense. It just felt like quite a long time to be on them, even though it's only over about 10 days per month but then it's also taken awhile for my body to adjust to them too, which I think on the whole has. There's certainly less side-effects than what I used to experience when I first started taking them.
Let the GP help, I am not an MD and like you I do not want to take medication unless it is necessary. I will add that if Idid and it helped me feel better I would take it as long as necessary.
I know that you aren't and MD. Just wanted an opinion from someone who wasn't an MD first.
And now that your body has adjusted you may (not sure since not expert) throw it out of rhythm if you stop, and your symptoms could come back and be more severe (or less severe). That is why you need the GP's advise. So that's my opinion :)
I didn't get to see "Chummy" on the Graham Norton show at all. I'm sure it'll be somewhere on the internet and you never know, you may find the Christmas episode.
Oh that doesn't sound good, that'll be something I'll need to explore a bit further as don't want symptoms to be more severe, bad enough with pmt without severe symptoms due to medication.
I'll ask the GP then on how long she thinks I should go on being prescribed the medication and what's safe as I'm on and off them all the time, so that may make a difference I guess too.
Just take your time deciding and when you start to fret or worry about taking them just tell yourself how much better you are feeling during those days when you use to feel awful.
I feel I am getting a bit better with taking them, hated it to begin with and didn't like myself too much for taking them, but getting used to it.
Good idea, some physicians prefer patients to be on them every day but other like yours are more selective in when to take them. You seem to be doing well taking them the way you do. You really can be hard on yourself, glad to see you decided to make the change. Not so awful right???
Okay, I have to go, glad I caught up with you this morning (or afternoon where you are!) talk to you soon. Enjoy the rest of your day...
Talk to you soon and thank you!

NPR News is reporting that the FBI is looking into the possibility that some officials of the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration may have been bribed in connection with the recent explosion at a West Virginia mine that killed 29 miners.
NPR, quoting sources familiar with the investigation, says FBI agents are also exploring potential criminal negligence on the part of Massey Energy, the owner of the Upper Big Branch mine, where the accident occurred.
In a statement to NPR, Massey Energy says it is not aware of the allegations, and is fully cooperating with any investigation. MSHA, the federal agency that inspects and regulates mining, has yet to respond to a request for comment, NPR says.

In Spring of 2009, President Obama announced $400M in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding for a new agency – the Advanced Research Projects Agency, or ARPA-E, an Agency created in 2007 through the America COMPETES Act. ARPA-E was created to fund high risk, high reward transformational research to reduce energy-related emissions, reduce imports of energy from foreign sources, improve energy efficiency in all economic sectors, and ensure American technological lead in advanced energy technologies.
In only 15 months, the agency has awarded over $350M in support of 121 projects across the energy landscape, including renewable energy, biofuels, building efficiency, carbon capture, and the electrification of transportation.This lecture will describe the history and mission of ARPA-E, how the agency and its projects differ from other branches of the Department of Energy, and highlight some of the revolutionary technologies currently supported by ARPA-E.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Sauerkraut Soup
Average Rating
"This is so good on a cold winter's day. If you love Sauerkraut you will love this soup!"
"This was different from anything I've ever tried before, but I liked it. I think it could grow on me. One thing I noticed while I was putting it together was that there was no onion in it. I somewhat reluctantly went ahead and made it as written, but it seemed that something was missing when I was eating it. Later I looked up a lot of sauerkraut soup recipes online and they ALL had onion in them. I love onions .....if I make this again, they will be in it!"
"This soup is probably not for everyone, but for those who like sauerkraut it is delicious. I made it last fall for our annual octoberfest party and people were asking to take home leftovers."
"This was so good. I quadrupled recipe for a party and that Monday my sister brought coworkers over for lunch to finish it up."
"Excellent - did not put in the bacon or chicken and it was still excellent."
"easy to make. Smells great while cooking. Even finicky eaters love it!"
"We love this soup! We make it on cold snowy days and it's fantastic. It tastes even better the next day after it has cooled in the fridge."
"I forgot to mention that this really needed extra broth for my tastes. I ended up using three 14.5-oz cans. Each can was a little less than 2 cups. If you take a good look a the picture, there really isn't a lot of broth there."
"If you like sauerkraut, then you must try this soup!! It's wonderful! As for the person who questioned what mushrooms and the soup do for this recipe--apparently she hasn't even made this and, therefore, didn't need to be reviewing it. I LOVE THIS soup! I had forgotten it was simmering in the slow-cooker and was wondering where that wonderful aroma was coming from as I watched TV all evening. (I live in a condo building and thought it was one of the neighbors till I went to the kitchen at commercial time!) This recipe is a keeper and one to share!!"

'Name That Party': AP Adds a Race Card to the Mix in Prince George's Co. Md. Corruption Story
A couple of NewsBusters posts during the past week -- one from yours truly and another courtesy of Ken Shepherd -- have pointed to the press's reluctance to identify the Democratic Party affiliations of indicted Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson and his also-indicted wife Leslie, who is a County Council member.
Today, the Associated Press's Brian Witte kept up the wire service's tradition of either not naming the party of an indicted Democrat or deferring that identification until very late in the report (in the apparent hope that subscribing outlets picking up the story won't use it). Jack Johnson's party affiliation was saved for the 19th paragraph; Witte never identified his wife's party affiliation. Witte further quoted a Republican who commented on the situation in Paragraph 10, and noted that said Republican "ran against Johnson in 2002" in Paragraph 11, leaving it vague as to whether it was a primary or general election contest.
Finally, Witte gave voice to people who believes that the Johnsons and ultimately other county officials are being targeted based on their African-American ethnicity -- in county where two-thirds of its residents are African-American.
Here are selected paragraphs from Witte's report:
Corruption charges disturb residents in Md. county
In two years, Prince George's County residents have seen a former schools superintendent sent to prison and corruption charges brought against a senior state senator and the county executive and his wife.
The latest case is the stuff of movies or late-night TV jokes: Authorities say County Executive Jack Johnson and his wife were arrested Nov. 12 after he accepted $15,000 from a developer and federal investigators tapping his phone reportedly heard him tell her to flush a $100,000 check down the toilet and hide $79,600 in her bra.
The string of scandals has left residents angry, frustrated and wondering who will be next. Maryland U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein described their arrests as "the tip of the iceberg."
... Prince George's, a suburb of Washington, D.C., is the nation's wealthiest majority-black county, according to the census. The county, which has about 834,000 residents, is 66 percent black with a median annual household income of $71,696.
(paragraphs 10 and 11)
... Audrey Scott, a former County Council member who chairs the Maryland Republican Party, said she used to hear about officials expecting developers to go beyond what was required to, say, build a playground or refurbish a senior citizens center.
"There were certain elected officials who felt that developers owed something more - above and beyond what was required in the zoning application process, in the permitting process," said Scott, who ran unsuccessfully for county executive against Johnson in 2002.
(paragraphs 18 and 19)
... Some residents can only shake their heads when asked about the scandal, walking away and muttering words like "depressing" without saying anything more.
Johnson, a Democrat, now comes to work as the county's chief executive near the end of his second term with an electronic monitoring device. His term ends Dec. 6, when he will be succeeded by a Democrat who had twice run against him unsuccessfully.
... Marva Henry, who lived in Prince George's County for 29 years and only recently moved away, said she questions why prosecutors seem to focus on African-American officials. Her husband, Winston, also expressed frustration that prosecutors seem to be focusing more on Prince George's County than other localities. But both said they were angry at Johnson over the allegations.
Well, if the Henrys have evidence that nearby counties also have serious corruption, they ought to present it (and Witte should have demanded they present it) before just putting a race bias charge out there with no support. One of the reason that there may be seem to be a bit of a focus on African-American officials is probably because roughly 2/3 of the County's Council is African-American. The county's Superintendent of Schools and about 2/3 of the Board of Education are also African-American. All other things being equal, the odds are that if corruption is occurring in Prince George's County, there will be a good chance that African-Americans are involved, and racism on the part of investigators and/or prosecutors has nothing to do with it.
You can't make this up: The county web site's "welcome" page still features a message from the indicted Johnson, and another page contains a glowing bio of Johnson, which includes this sentence:
Mr. Johnson has transformed Prince George's County into Gorgeous Prince George's.
At this point, that assertion is highly debatable at best, and sick joke at worst.

By Jack Wilkinson, Special for USA TODAY
The room at the Ritz-Carlton was spectacular. The filet mignon at Kevin Rathbun Steak? Superb. Yet what truly lured Lynn and Anne Fowler from Decatur, Ala., to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary here was the memory of that first date.
"You never get over coming back to Grant Field and watching Georgia Tech football," Anne said. "And eating hot dogs at The Varsity."
The Varsity, which bills itself as the world's largest drive-in restaurant, has been a beloved institution since 1928 and is as Atlantan as fried apple pie. That's one of its signature menu items, along with chili dogs and burgers, onion rings and fries, an F.O. (frosted orange shake) and something equally delicious: Nostalgia.
PHOTOS AND AUDIO: October-feast A travelogue of college football gathering spots
"We feel like we're the keeper of traditions and memories for generations," said Nancy Simms, whose late father, Frank Gordy, founded The Varsity. A Georgia Tech dropout, Gordy hoped other Tech students would drop in and buy good, cheap fast food. That was decades before the towering, bright red "V" sign was erected in the parking lot.
"People say, 'When I come to Atlanta and see that sign, I'm home,'" said Simms, who runs The Varsity and its six other locations with her son, Gordon Muir. "And that's people from all over the world."
FDR stopped here. Presidents Carter, Bush (41) and Clinton ate here, too. Muhammad Ali. Elvis ordered cheeseburgers to go several times a day. Before the premiere of Gone With The Wind, Clark Gable pulled up for car service from "Flossie Mae," the late, legendary singing carhop.
Comedian Nipsey Russell was also a Varsity carhop, honing his early material while delivering chili dogs and rings with a smile. Those were back in the heydays when The Varsity's parking lots and curb service resembled something out of American Graffiti. All those guys and girls and cars, and chili dogs, on hot summer nights.
When Warren Buffett came to Coca-Cola headquarters, just up North Avenue from the V, Coke executives knew where to take the down-home billionaire for lunch. Buffett loved it. So did Larry, an Atlanta dog whose owner took him in a convertible for a Varsity drive-in lunch each October for Larry's birthday.
And on December 1, 1984, when Georgia Tech finally beat Georgia to end a six-year losing streak to the Dogs, Tech students tore down the goal posts at Grant Field. Never mind that the game was played in Athens. The jubilant Techies had their priorities straight: They marched the goal posts to the college president's home, but only after parading them around The Varsity.
"It's great. We've been coming here for years," said Joe Jones, a Mississippi State fan from Athens, Tenn. At 9 a.m. on Sept. 20, Jones and his wife Lisa were having a pre-game meal at The Varsity before State's noon kickoff with Georgia Tech.
"We eat the glorified," Jones said, using Varsity terminology for a hamburger with lettuce, tomato and mayo. "This is where fast food started. This is Atlanta."
Mississippi State fans were thrilled about the Bulldogs' first game at Georgia Tech since 1929. By then, of course, Frank Gordy's restaurant had already been in business for a year.
"Oh, goodness, we've been coming to The Varsity since we moved here from Mississippi in '65," said Charles Henderson, a white-haired man sitting with his wife, Elizabeth. He was enjoying two chili dogs, onion rings and a Coke. She, a Diet Coke to wash down her hamburger and fries. Total cost? $12.91. Lunch at The Varsity? Priceless. A trip back in time.
Let's do the numbers: Two miles of chili dogs are served daily at the downtown Varsity, along with 2,000 pounds of onions for rings and 300 gallons of chili, made fresh from scratch every day. Each year, 2,000,000 cups of Coke are served. Asked once about what he did with leftovers, Gordy replied, "We don't have any."
On football Saturdays, The Varsity serves 20,000 people. A three-block walk from Tech's campus and Bobby Dodd Stadium, The Varsity — which accommodates 800 — will be jammed Saturday: Tech hosts Florida State.
"Clemson's probably the best atmosphere in here," said Matthew Ware, a 2002 Tech graduate who wore a freshman "Rat Cap" when he played trumpet in the band and honored a Tech frosh tradition of paying at The Varsity in pennies. Just once.
"I would say Georgia's the best atmosphere, but their fans are so rude. You want to beat them so bad, it's almost not fun any more," said Ware, ordering a double cheeseburger, rings and…a Coke Zero? "Since they've got it," he said, "and you've got to be somewhat healthy."
All around Ware, customers were marching in, lining up at the 150-foot-long stainless steel counter and ordering their pre-game meals. "We're at our best when we're busiest," Simms said, beaming. "We've got our system, everybody loves it, the adrenaline's going and it's off to the races."
That system can essentially be condensed into three words: "What'll ya have?!" The title of a 2003 book celebrating The Varsity's 75th anniversary — and how many fast-food joints have had a book written about them? It's also what counterman Erby Walker shouted at each customer: "What'll ya have?!"
Walker died earlier this year, but his spirit lives on in co-workers like Jaida Danso. "We don't have no Varsity in Ghana," she said sweetly in her native African accent, before shouting out Erby's other mantra: "Have your money in your hand, your order in your mind!"
In many ways, The Varsity's now a thoroughly modern milieu. In a maze of television rooms, where customers sit at school desk chairs, they're watching ESPN or CNN on HD TVs, or using free WiFi. Or drinking Coke Zero. The lingo's still old school, though. A red dog? Nah, not a blitzing linebacker. A hot dog with ketchup.
As it was long ago, when Lynn Fowler, a Tech man, was courting a Duke coed named Anne. "Lynn told me he was taking me to a fine restaurant for dinner," Anne said. "When we arrived, I just died. He said, 'You're not going to be sorry. You can't get any finer food than a Varsity chili dog!' And he was right."
"I think she was a little skeptical when we first pulled up," Lynn said, laughing. "Until she had her first chili dog. I think that's what convinced her."
Convinced her that Lynn was the man for Anne. And so they were married, and lived happily — and ate Varsity chili dogs — ever after.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Friendly staff, brand new rooms, free chocolates.
We liked the movie theme. The room had enough space that I could get work done while my kids slept. The motel was conveniently located to highways, stores, and to Lake Champlain.We want to go back when the drive-in theater is opened (we visited too late in the year)
Clean, new, efficient, nice rooms, price Bit far from Burlington
The staff is very friendly, and the rooms were quite clean. They would've been cleaner if there was a screen door or a lobby, but this wasn't a hotel, this was a motel and access to the outside was direct from the room. So, we had to deal with a little Vermont insect life. That said, everything was really quite nice. The room was modern without flaw and very clean considering. The bedding was clean most importantly, and comfortable. The bathroom was immaculate and also functional. We'd stay there again. For the money the 10 minutes drive into town was acceptable, but I found that we had to go back-and-forth quite a bit. That's not the motels fault that's mine. I would've liked to have made one of the drive-in movie shows, because that probably would've made my stay even better and was pretty awesome to have that offered for free to motel guests, but by the time we got back from a concert we were in town for it was really too late and we just went to bed.
Great beds. Blackout shades. Great owner. Close to good food. Great drive-in experience. Very quiet. The door had issues with sticking. Also the cutesy switches for "do not disturb" or "make up room" kept getting bumped. A simple door hanger works better. One day, even after speaking to the cleaning lady about putting additional coffee in the room, they completely skipped our room (maybe due to the electronic "do not disturb" sign? The wife was not happy that we had no clean towels that night...
I liked the majority of my stay and the hotel staff was very cooperative and hospitable towards my dad and I during our two nights. I didn't like how the door was very difficult to open to even get into the room and how the room cost me almost $300 for 2 nights.
Excellent customer service.
The door locked and had a deadbolt. Close to Burlington. Had to ask for towels. Beds never made. Loud and scary clientele. Ran out of toilet paper.
The design was modern, the staff was friendly and the location was good There was no breakfast for the price we paid, the room had trash in it when we first arrived, the handle on the door out the side of the building to the parking lot was broken, the drain in the shower didn't drain the water efficiently
lower cost noisy, rooms are Spartan like. the basic of basic. Totally non-frill
You get what you pay for. Inexpensive, decent location. Clean rooms. The hallways stank like cigarettes and there was nothing in the rooms at all (no extra pillows or blankets, no toiletries, etc). Also the walls were paper thin so it was noisy.
Easy check in and out. Proximity was great. Room was in good shape. The shower was good. Workers found a new room quickly, near our other room when there was a stale smoke smell. First room smelled of smoke. the key cards to one of the rooms stopped working after a day. Little tripped down but not a surprise with the cost.
Great, friendly staff at desk For a non smoking hotel there was an awful lot of "partying" Going on
The room was very modern, clean, and pretty. Staff couldn't have been nicer I wish wifi could've been included
I basically only use the hotel to sleep and shower, and perhaps pass some time watching TV. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the TV worked, so all was good in that respect. The staff was courteous and helpful ... I ALWAYS appreciate that. The hotel lacked many amenities that I've come to expect over my years of travel. For a two star hotel, one would expect a simple breakfast. They charge $2.99/day for wifi access (really?!!!... You get free wifi at McD and you don't even need to buy a $1 coffee). There are no ice machines on the upper floors. The towels, although abundant were thin and scratchy (rag pile material a home). Also lacking were: hair blower, iron,'do not disturb' sign for the door, scratch pad and pen, any shampoo, lotion or conditioner, Kleenex tissues, coffee maker, and that notebook I always look for that contains the hotel policies and area food and attractions. As you can see, it was a clean, but "bare bones" hotel.
location/ easy check in/out The coffee was fresh in the morning. The hallway was filthy, my room was a hair cleaner then hallway which is not saying much. Carpets not vacuumed and under the bed awful..candy wrappers, hair etc so my allergies kicked in. Window in room was broken. The shower head dripped constantly. The toilet seat was broken. The refuse can by the soda machine and ice maker was over flowing garbage onto the floor. The cleaning crew was there upon my arrival so I was suprised they didn't take care of this.I asked them to open another room so I could check smokiness. Obviously my original room had smokers in it and it reeked. It seemed that there were people living there long term as they were coming and going with large amounts of groceries etc. I hope they straighten things out because location is good but I will not be staying there any time soon.
room cleaner did a nice job; hot tub furniture in room sub-par; bathroom extremely small; tub did not drain; pillows uncomfortable
The hotel is a budget hotel but it is located in an excellent location near malls and restaurants.
friendly helpful staff Air conditioner not able to cool room. Room smelled of cleaning chemicals.
Staff Breakfast very limited Bathroom tiny
Great location, friendly staff, great price for expensive town Old. Clean, but old. Room smelled like deodorizer, but the windows open. Shower had adhesive all over the bottom of it. Check in isn't until 4p.
GOOD LOCATION CONVENIENT TO CAMPUS AT A GOOD VALUE VERY BASIC. NOT A PLACE TO BRING A DATE AS NO ATMOSPHERE. MOTEL 6ish.
We stayed in Anchorage Inn for only one night. It was clean and stuff was very nice and helpful with anything we needed/asked. We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool, we got all the instructions about pool hours during check-in. You can see that the room need some update, furniture is not new, but everything was clean and we had all we needed for our one night stay. We paid for room with refrigerator and microwave but first we were given a room on the lowest floor with non of those and with lock that didn't work. We went back to the front desk and immediately got another room that was exactly what we paid for, the stuff was very nice. The new room was on 2nd floor and looked much better and newer than the first one. It is sad that first they try to give you the worst option possible and only if you complain you get something better. Even though you specifically paid for the better room.
Nice comfortable room for a very fair price, the breakfast was not very good at all, however with the money we saved on the hotel going out to eat at the many fine restaurants in Burlington was just fine
I loved everything about this motel. It was quiet and comfortable. The room was clean. The bed was soft, yet firm; unlike a lot of motels beds that feel like you are laying on concrete. The towels were soft and thick. The grounds were litter free and manicured. The staff was friendly and helpful. If I ever get to Vermont again I will definitely stay in this motel. There was not one thing I disliked about this motel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
No frills motel. The room had a mini frig and microwave and cafe table which was useful.
Basic place, close to Smuggs ski. Reasonable price for what you get.
Flies and gnats in the room. Too expensive for what it was and where it was. Noisy bar on the same property.
great place to go with great people to be around. I would definetly visit again.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
The room was quite, clean and comfortable. The owner was friendly and helpful. The only problem was the road construction between the motel and Jeffersonville - The motel has no restaurant facilities and the trip into town was rough and difficult. Hopefully this will be resolved when the new traffic circle is completed.
Nice location, Large room.
It was the least expensive in the area. The gentleman at the desk (owner?) was very helpful and accommodating. For a hotel of this vintage (old motel) it was generally clean. The room and bathroom were rather recently painted. The rug...we kept shoes on. I'm not sure I'd consider it a two star.
No shampoo no clock High step to enter room not handi cap accesable
Great customer service! Rick is a great guy! Room smelled a little funny and the heat was full blast. But it was a nice place no real complaints.

The OECD Ministerial Meeting that took place in Seoul, Korea was attended by more than 70 countries. Dr Touré, ITU Secretary-General met with Presidents and CEOs of prominent ICT companies from Korea where the developments and innovations of the ICT industry have brought a significant benefit to the region. The industry leaders shared initiatives at multilateral and bilateral levels. Many themes were tackled and "the Global Internet Economy" was the topic of roundtable 5 at which Dr Touré addressed the mobile success story of today and defended the priority of tomorrow which is the broadband Internet as a basic and vital infrastructure to the economy and social development. The Secretary-General urged participants to bring the broadband networks within easy reach of all in order to avoid creating a devastating new Digital Divide. In face of today's new threats, the task of ensuring the right infrastructure and empowering people to use the new tools will build confidence in Internet becomes an essential goal to global technology.

Work Proposal Group 31
The actual disassembly of the engine will not take as long as similar car engine would. This is because the engine is already out of the bike, all of the components connecting to the engine are gone and the engine is relatively small in size. It should take approximately 3 hours to disassemble the entire engine, including the internal components. The basic steps to dissecting the engine will be first removing the cylinder head cover. From here, we will be able to view the camshaft holders, and under that the exhaust and the intake camshafts. We will then unscrew the bolts that are uncovered, leading to the crankcase, pistons, cylinders, rods, bearings, cam chain, crankshaft and many other parts that will be unknown until the engine is further dissected.
By initial observation, some of the tools that we would need to disassemble the engine are a drill (electric), a socket set, Torx bit, Phillips head bit and Allen wrenches. Due to further observation it appears that other tools that would most likely be necessary are a wrench, flathead screw driver and some needle nose pliers. These excess tools would be used to loosen other components of the engine including screws. Other than these tools, the use of hands will be most important. With he use of finesse and strength, hands will be used to remove small or hidden pieces that can raise the difficulty of disassembly.
Problem Analysis:
Some of the problems that the group might come across while taking apart our engine are rusted bolts/nuts, broken pieces of the assembly or deformed parts. All of these will make the disassembly more difficult. Broken or deformed parts may complicate disassembly by limiting the depth of our dissection. This may also cause further complications during the reassembly phase of the project.
Group Analysis:
Strengths of our group are that we are well balanced in our abilities. George has the most experience with engines and is competent in a lot of the assembly and disassembly. Because George is the only group member with significant experience, dissecting the engine will be a difficult task for the group as a whole. Raj has a great of experience in Auto CAD drawing, and so he will head our efforts to portray our engine in the solid modeling stage. However, his experience is strong in 2-D modeling, rather than 3-D solid modeling. He will still use his knowledge to get the task done. Shayne and Dave both have great abilities in putting together reports in organized ways and making everything coherent. However, none of our group members have any experience navigating the wiki page. Therefore, reporting the deliverables for the future gates may be difficult. However, the group will also face certain challenges such as proper time management, completion of work assigned to each member on time, and quality of work due to inexperience with engines.

12 days of heaven: Azamara Journey Cruise Review by zopadooper
Overall Member Rating
12 days of heaven
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
I write this report as someone who has previously cruised with MSC, P&O and Cunard.
It cost about £500 more for the 2 of us than a comparable 12 day Cunard cruise. It was well worth the extra money.
The two low points were the flights provided by British Airways at either end of the cruise. Seats are not bookable so you have to take pot luck on whether you can sit together. Food on the outward morning flight, where breakfast would have been nice, was a cheese roll. Food on the return flight was a hot meal - but not if you are vegetarian and don't book a special meal at least 24 hours before the flight. So we both went hungry. We are yet to establish whether this is a problem with Azamara or BA.
From the minute we were met at the airport and our luggage was loaded onto trucks directly from the carousel, to the time we left the ship, More nothing was too much trouble for the staff and our every need was catered for.
We are both vegetarians and found the food in all the venues to be very good . On the one occasion when I did not fancy the vegetarian selection in the main dining room I was offered a number of alternatives. The two speciality restaurants ($15 cover charge) were excellent and the head chef in Aquilina prepared a full vegetarian off menu meal especially for us.
The on board activities were varied and included a number of enrichment lectures.
The entertainment was varied and good and it was easy to make the main show at 9.45 if you ate around 8.00. The evening show was always followed by live music and a themed disco.
The itinerary was very good with long stops in all the ports and overnight stops in Istanbul and Athens. We were in Istanbul on a special national holiday and the captain arranged to stay an extra 4 hours so that we could enjoy a firework display which took place in front of the ship - indeed a highlight of the cruise.
The Azamara excursions appeared to be interesting and well planned but, as usual, were expensive and we planned all our excursions independently with an American couple we met on the cruise forum. In total, our excursions cost us about the same as those organised by Azamara but they lasted longer, visited more places and we had our own independent guide. To summarise our outings, In Amalfi (Italy) we took a scenic tour of the area and a guided tour of Pompeii; In Souda (Crete) we organised ourselves and visited some of the local museums; in Bodrum (Turkey) we took a jeep safari high into the hills with an excellent driver and guide; In Istanbul we had a 7 hour guided walking tour (in pouring rain) on the first day and on the second day the same guide took us by taxi to the some of the more distant sights; in Ephesus (Turkey) we had a 7 hour guided tour of the ancient town and the surrounding sights; in Santorini we took a half-day guided tour of the Island including visits to 2 wineries (with abundant tastings) and finished by enjoying the sunset; In Athens we did a 3 hour guided food tasting walk around the city on the first day and a half day taxi tour of the sights on the second day. All our excursions were booked before left, using the internet and recommendations from the various cruise forums. If anyone is interested in knowing which companies we used I would be pleased to provide the information.
I have refrained from describing the ship in detail because it is everything that it says in the Azamara brochure, plus a bit more.
Azamara cruises include complimentary wines at all meals, all speciality coffees and shuttles and allows you to take alcohol on board for stateroom consumption. This helps to keep the on-board costs down. Our total bill for the 12 days was just $180 and we didn't go short of anything.
Would we travel with Azamara again? A definite and positive YES, but unless the arrangements for flights are improved we will book the flights independently. Less

Dekanich, IceCaps deny Pirates Posted by IceCaps on
St. John's slips past Portland 3-2
ST. JOHN'S, NL – The IceCaps edged the Portland Pirates 3-2 Tuesday night in the first of two meetings at Mile One Centre between the Atlantic Division rivals.
Mark Dekanich was the story for St. John's, making 30 saves and shutting the door on the Pirates in the closing minutes of regulation. Ray Sawada scored the winner midway through the third while Cody Sol and Josh Lunden added tallies for the home team.
Dekanich helped the IceCaps hold Portland's power play at bay, which went just 1-for-6 on the night. St. John's managed a goal on five opportunities with the man advantage.
St. John's struck first on a goal by Sol, his first career AHL marker. Sol got the puck at the point and stepped into a heavy shot near the top of the left circle, sneaking the puck through Pirates netminder Mark Visentin to give the IceCaps a 1-0 lead.
Early in the second on an IceCaps power play, the home side converted to make it 2-0. Kael Mouillierat made a nifty backhand pass out front to Lunden, who deposited his fourth of the season 1:04 into the frame to make it a two-goal advantage for St. John's.
Portland cut the lead in half with 8:42 left in the second on a nice goal by Phil Lane. The big winger gathered the puck in the neutral zone and busted in off the left side, going backhand and beating Dekanich to make it 2-1.
The Pirates pulled even with 9:37 left in the third on their fourth power play opportunity of the game. Brendan Shinnimin took a pass near the top of the left circle and let a shot go that squeezed through Dekanich to make it a brand new game at 2-2.
St. John's came right back to retake the lead at the 12:34 mark, a goal that would stand as the winner. After some great work in the offensive zone with the teams playing four-on-four, Travis Ramsey hammered a shot from the point that was tipped in by Sawada for his 12th of the season to put the IceCaps on top for good 3-2.
The IceCaps and Pirates clash again Wednesday night for the eighth and final time this season with Portland holding a 4-2-1-0 edge in the season series. Catch all the action with broadcaster Brian Rogers at stjohnsicecaps.com and on 930 AM, or watch online at ahllive.com. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. NT with the pregame show beginning at 7:00.
The IceCaps and Statoil paid tribute to the Heroes of Tomorrow with a pregame ceremony to recognize 30 volunteers – nominated online on the IceCaps official website – who have helped make a difference in their communities… With his assist in the second period, Eric O'Dell passed Spencer Machacek for the single-season scoring record (51 points)… Rookies Vinny Saponari and Matthew Kirzinger notched their first pro points on Cody Sol's first career AHL goal in the first period… The IceCaps reached 73 straight sellouts Tuesday… Mark Dekanich has won six of his last eight starts.

The Truth About Disposable Diapers
Finally! It is agreed by all objective sources that disposable diapers are the worst environmental choice. They are, in fact, only interested in the truth. These groups are interested in improving the environment for the benefit of living things and future generations of living things. This is a very noble, real and true pursuit. Why would they decieve or misinform us? Answer: They wouldn't.
So then, why is there so much confusion about this issue? Well, in 1989, in response to a major trend of consumers switching to cloth diapers, Procter and Gamble decided to launch a multi-million dollar internation advertising campaign. It was designed to cloud the issues and relieve the guilt of disposable diaper users. The campaign was wildly successful. Even thought P&G was found guilty of false and misleading advertising as a result, they did regain their market share as misinformed consumers returned to disposables in droves.
P&G has stopped most of this very dubious advertising now, and consumers are now starting to learn that they were misled, especially as they realize that the objective environmental groups still insist that disposables are BY FAR the worst environmental choice in diapers. David Suzuki wrote to BC's Minister of Environment in March, 1994, saying that, "In my view,...(disposable diapers) are an eco-obscenity-they have no real justification save profit (of corporations)."

Now that the Punk Hazard arc is finished, i would like to make a prediction of what i was just thinking about randomly.
What i think is gonna happen is that, Trafalgar Law over here states that his gonna go a place called " Green Bit"
But over here, we see Nami stating that the crew are going to a place called "Dressrosa" . A place we know as Doflamingo's home.
So i'm thinking whilst the Straw Hats are going to Dressrosa, Law is gonna go to green bit for the either of these reasons:
- His crew was defeated and then held captive by some nasty friends of Doflamingo's , so now since his got an rather strong ally , and things are looking well. He wants to rescue his crew.
- Or, there is an supernova there who Law wants to recruit to further strengthen their cause.
- ( Just saying , imagine if all Supernova's teamed up to take out one of the four emperors . It would be just epic :whoa:
Also i want to ask youse all, why do you think Oda showed us an alliance between Captain Kidd, Basil Hawkins, & Scratchman Appo?
What do you think is gonna happen with those three? What do you think their planning?

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Despite the fact that it derives its name from a Native American word meaning "friends," Texas is a pugnacious state, one far more in line with its unofficial "Don't Mess With Texas" motto than any other. And there's nowhere better in the area to revel in that orneriness than at the San Jacinto Battleground, where you can not only see the place where Sam Houston routed Santa Anna's much larger army and changed the fate of North American history in 17 minutes, but also the world's last "Dreadnought" battleship. Commissioned 100 years ago this year, the USS Texas shelled the Nazis at Normandy during the D-Day landings and is one of only six remaining ships to have seen action in the Great War. If you want to board the great craft while it's still afloat, you'd better hurry: The Texas is slated to move to a new dry berth within five years. The history museum at the base of the San Jacinto monument is worth the trip alone, as is the satanically awesome view of the petrochemical refineries from the great cenotaph's top.
Houston is really going to miss Aero Jon DiSalvatore, who was team captain and a top offensive player who did tons of charity work and loved interacting with fans. He's left to play with a team closer to his home in Connecticut. We'll remember him as a coach's dream who sacrificed the best parts of his game — including his scoring ability — to help set up the younger players so they'd fit into the team.
A lot has changed at the 86-year-old resort village on the rim of one of the Frio River's most scenic canyons. Sure, the boulder-strewn, aquamarine-watered old swimming hole is still one of the finest in Texas, the dining hall's still offering up chicken-frieds to die for (or kill over), and all ten million of those Mexican free-tailed bats are still boiling nightly from that guano-reeking Hades of a hole in the ground a few miles down the road. The Frio's still a pleasant float through some of the most breathtaking of wild western Hill Country terrain, if a little shallow and light on rapids most of the time. Skunks, 'coons and white-tailed deer will raid your campsite for scraps once the moon rises, and mama mockingbirds will still harass nest-plundering roadrunners from scraggly ancient hillside oaks. Those are the eternal verities of this angel-kissed Eden on the Edwards Plateau. What's new? More amenities. There's a family-friendly icehouse now on the premises in Joe Jimmy's, where bands play country and classic rock hits under Milky Way skies to two-steppers and tricyclists alike on the large outdoor dance slab. There's a catch-and-release fishing pond, and a return to the Neal's Lodges of old in guided horseback rides in and around the Frio. It's Texas distilled, and it's only about five hours away: a little more if you take the gorgeous route over the roof of the Hill Country through either Tarpley or Vanderpool.
In an industry becoming increasingly cluttered with boisterous blowhards who want to be Jim Rome, stat geeks who worship at the Moneyball altar, and seriously unfunny wannabe comedians, Lance Zierlein is a rare triple threat. He is equally comfortable asserting his opinion, dissecting complex statistical analysis or creating funny characters. His ability to be both informative and entertaining is the radio equivalent of a five-tool player in baseball. Now that he has a partner in Charlie Pallilo, who is his equal in terms of experience and sports intellect, the two could dominate sports talk radio in Houston.
When Galveston Island gets overrun with tourists, one of the best and easiest things to do is hop on over the San Luis Pass to the tiny hamlet of Quintana, a wonderful summertime Gulf haunt. Just south of Freeport and its factories, Quintana Beach Park has picnic facilities, hook-ups for RVs, cabins, camping facilities and other amenities, but it's the swimming you're here for. The beach is "unmaintained," meaning the park officials don't comb the sand other than to remove trash, so you'll often find small shells, driftwood and more along the water. Speaking of the water, for some reason it always seems bluer here than in Galveston. That's not to say it's clear — but it is more private, more quiet and more convenient than nearly any place else along the "Houston coast."
No, he doesn't get this award for tweeting a picture of his MRI when he suffered a hamstring injury. Although that's certainly an indication of the freewheeling content on Texan running back Arian Foster's Twitter account, which can range from philosophical observations ("There is life outside of your beliefs") to random WTFs ("Even though it isn't an accurate rumor, I may go Einstein on y'all and wear one suit this whole year") to talkin' smack with fans about other sports ("Lol, I'm done. I'm arguing with highlight watchers"). Hands-down the best tweeter among Houston athletes.

With Tropical Storm Wilma swirling over the Caribbean, the number of named storms has hit 21 this year, tying 1933 for the worst year on record since records have been kept since 1851. Of the 21 named storms that have formed since the season began June 1st, 11 have become hurricanes, including five major hurricanes. This is far above the seasonal average of 10 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. (Storms get names when they hit particular levels of intensity so they can be more easily remembered and/or referred to.)
One more hurricane and 2005 will tie the record set in 1969.
Wilma also represents the last of the names the National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center on the list for naming storms issued at the beginning of the year. At the beginning of the year, Any new storms will be named after letters in the Greek alphabet.
While it is unclear whether global warming has created more storms, many experts say it has made the storms that occur more intense.

The Princess intention eventually foundered. She and her entourage were stopped when the luggages were being put into a limousine. Most of the members of her entourage were detained on the spot, will be prosecuted and will probably be behind bars. However, because the princess has diplomatic immunity, police can not arrest or even sue.
French authorities can only approach the Embassy of Saudi Arabia in order to get their help. Meanwhile, the princess and a small group of soldiers who became aides have been offered a refuge, which is in another luxury hotel, the Royal Monceau, near the Champs-Elysees.
According to Mail Online, a five star hotel that belongs to 'a family friend', the Emir of Qatar. Emir's daughter has offered her hotel while this case is being resolved. Maha al-Sudani and her entourage arrived in Paris on December 23 last year and ordered a floor with a total of 41 rooms at the Shangri-La.

Nominate the unofficial mayor of NYC
The New York Times is putting out a call for the names of community stalwarts who are the real "mayors" of the city. Who's your pick?
Thu Aug 8 2013
If there hasn't been enough media coverage of certain candidates to remind you, a number of New York mayoral contenders is racing to become Bloomberg's heir this November. However, The New York Times announced yesterday that it's looking for a completely new set of candidates. Rather than seeking out those with political aspirations, the Times has put out a call for the unofficial mayors of the city's communities.
These are the kinds of people hold office hours on street corners and press conferences on front steps. They don't have campaign teams and often aren't looking to lead. Instead, they're the characters who mold and shape the identity of their neighborhoods. From small-scale activists to good-natured gossips and mediators, they are much-loved—and indispensable—presences in Gotham's local communities.
To nominate your own neighborhood mayor, head over to the City Room blog and submit his or her name. To be considered, your candidate can't hold an elected office or be a city employee, and must be game for an interview with the Times (who isn't?).
