The Vending machine has actually been a favorite activity in American culture because the intro of the initial wooden slots back in the 1880s. Since then, one-armed bandit players have like all other casino players, idea of ways as well as concepts that they believe will certainly beat the maker as well as they will certainly strike it rich.
I want to discuss a few of these concepts and also thoughts regarding how you can locate the winning fruit machine and also or how to understand which one-armed bandit is the one that is closest to hitting the mark.
Initially, the vending machine is not what it was HALF A CENTURY ago or 100 years earlier. When the slot initially appeared with 3 reels and also 10 to 16 pictures per reel, the strange were far better at striking it rich because the variables were reduced. Now with the development in computer chips, you may have probabilities greater than 16 million to one that you are most likely to hit the mark after 1 million spins. The probabilities reduced at this moment, to 15 million to one, however these are pretty much still unbeatable chances.
Let us encounter the truths; the gambling enterprise enjoys fruit machine and their one-armed bandit gamers. For the casino site, the slot machine is basically a croupier, with hardly any maintenance, a little bit of electrical energy and a huge mouth for drawing in large amounts of money; it is a big money maker for the casino that the casino site does not actually have to do way too much about except vacant the coin cabinet for the equipment.
The old stating that playing in highly trafficked areas and well lit areas and also staying away from the lone slots or the slots in the corner is rubbish. These equipment's are based upon probabilities and also earnings. The even more cash you put into the equipment the likelier you are that you will certainly win big. The very best point to do is to discover a device that you like and also take a seat and play.
In fruit machine or as the dutch say "fruitautomaat"play, the greatest end reward in slots is to the maker with the highest possible dollar play amount. A quarter or nickel slot machine will pay something like 88 to 91 percent of the money placed in. However a 5 buck as well as higher slots will make payments of 95 to in some cases 99 percent of the money played in that maker. So occasionally it is better to take a little risk as well as play the far better equipment's by playing a little bit more cash if you have it to play.
However in conclusion, slot machines are a type of offline and on the internet gambling that is simple and could as well as does supply some of the chances of winning the largest quantities of cash readily available. No book or overview is going to offer you the most effective suggestion for locating the slot machine that will make you abundant. The one-armed bandit is made making money for the casino as well as to pay out a certain total up to keep fruit machine players playing with the golden pot of gold glittering in their eyes with a possibility to win big. So select the maker that you favor the most and play to your hearts content.

With fans distracted by Linsanity, Heat may march to title
We all understand the NBA has been a little busy. The lockout. The fast-forward schedule. Jeremy Lin, man or myth. Kobe Bryant vs. his front office. But still, an urgent question comes to mind.
Whatever happened to hating the Miami Heat? Remember them, Public Enemy No. 1?
Somehow, this evil empire — lots of people used to call them that, anyway — operated under the radar in the first half of this season, the basketball-watching populace distracted by other matters.
STORY: NBA second-half outlook
LeBron James started building an airtight MVP case, and all eyes were on the New York Knicks' new point guard. If there was a beast in the standings, it was the Oklahoma City Thunder, and who could root against them? Miami was yesterday's villain.
We are here to report the threat has not gone away, but instead grown more dangerous, as America sleeps. Just like, say, dependency on foreign oil. And the Heat's record is rising faster than gas prices.
They are 27-7, and lately have been taking no prisoners. Should they win Thursday at Portland, 28-7 would set a franchise record for 35 games.
The list of victims is steadily growing, and who's to say there'll be a Dallas Mavericks-type antidote this time?
The Stop Miami movement better start paying attention. There should at least be some return to normalcy Sunday, with nationally televised loathing of the Heat when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers.
You may have heard that Bryant has a broken nose and concussion, and while the injury report sounds as if he just took on five longshoremen in a portside bar, it all came from a hard foul by Dwyane Wade in the All-Star Game.
Injuries and visits to specialists from an All-Star Game? This is why the NFL plays flag football, more or less, in the Pro Bowl. But Bryant is hurting and Wade is to blame, and though he has apologized profusely, Staples Center should be fervently anti-Heat Sunday. It'll all sound familiar.
But what of the rest of the nation? Dallas coach Rick Carlisle mentioned after last June's NBA Finals how people kept coming up to him and saying, "There's billions of people rooting for you guys."
Do those billions understand that the current threat of a Miami championship parade is at least at level orange? Even Cleveland might not be fully aware.
But the indicators from South Beach, large and small, are powerful.
The Heat have won eight consecutive games by double digits.
They won six consecutive road games in February by an average margin of 19.
They haven't had a player foul out in 86 consecutive games.
They won back-to-back-to-back road games in three nights, something not done in the NBA in 33 years. They won them all by at least 10 points, something not done since 1970.
They had six players invited to All-Star weekend, for one event or another.
James — remember him? — is averaging 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists a game, and shooting 54.7%.
The big three of James, Wade and Chris Bosh have combined to score at least 20 points in a game 59 times.
Miami has scored at least 50 points in the paint in 10 games. The Heat did that 11 times all last season.
The high scorer on the court in 32 of their 34 games played for Miami.
No team in the NBA is scoring more, or shooting better.
Lin vs. the Mavericks: 11-for-20 shooting, 28 points. Lin vs. the Lakers: 13-for-23, 38 points. Lin vs. the Heat: 1-for-11, eight points.
True, none of this will matter much when the postseason starts. And the Heat still operate pretty much under a zero tolerance policy, where nothing less than a championship will do. The postseason will never look as easy as February just did.
But Heat Haters, the signs are ominous. You've been warned.

Warning! This tale is mainly about villains, so do not expect any happy endings! If you wish to know about the demise of Malkariss and his kingdom, read Mattimeo. Thank you.
A sharp knocking on the door awoke Abbess Germaine from her sleep. She got up wearily from her bed and opened the door. Two mice stood there. One, a young male who was sobbing brokenly, and the other a tall, motherly looking female who held her arm around the young one. Germaine sighed and looked down at the young mouse compassionately. "What's the matter, young Brenly?" she asked soothingly, "Did you have another nightmare?"
He nodded pitifully and the other mouse spoke, "He wanted desperately to tell you about it, Mother Abbess."
Germaine smiled sadly and welcomed them in to her room. Brenly and the Abbess sat down on the bed, while the other mouse stood watching. Germaine placed a paw on the young mouse's shoulder and asked, "What did you dream about, Brenly? What's upset you so?"
Brenly took a deep breath, fighting back his tears, and said, "Well, Mother Abbess, I dreamed that I was in the courtyard, near the well. I was enjoying a peaceful summer night, when suddenly a huge, evil-looking beast came out of the well. It was a white ferret-like creature, with claws and teeth that looked as though they were made of stone. It rose up and looked around the Abbey for awhile, but it didn't see me. Then it raised its arms and a horde of black, shadowy figures spread all across the courtyard and over the Abbey. I stood terrified as they went past me, then the huge white beast spoke, in a voice that was like echoing thunder. 'This realm shall all be mine! Both the underworld and the land above it!' it said. And then another voice said, 'It is as you say, O Malkariss, Ruler of the Deep!' Then they were all gone; disappearing from the Abbey completely. But, oh Abbess, it was horrible! I felt like a terrible evil had covered all of Loamhedge and had threatened to destroy the earth!" He then broke down into sobbing again.
Germaine looked over at the other mouse, who stood solemnly. Then the Abbess spoke, "I....I don't know what to say, young one. But it was all probably just a bad dream, nothing more!"
Brenly wiped his eyes, "Are you sure?" The Abbess smiled, "Of course. Now go back to bed, Brenly, and try to think about nice things." He smiled weakly and went out of the room.
Germaine sighed and turned to the other mouse, "Well, Sister Linfa, what do you think?"
Linfa shook her head sadly, "This isn't the first time that young Brenly has had a nightmare about some coming disaster. Just last night it was about a huge earthquake, and last week it was a horrible sickness that swept across Loamhedge. I don't know if they are just dreams or...." Her voice trailed off, and Germaine pursed her lips, "He might very well be predicting things that may come in the future. How far into the future, I don't know, but let us hope and pray that they are only dreams, and not signs of things to come." Sister Linfa nodded and left the room.
Germaine sighed wearily and lay back on her bed. Although she didn't wish it to be so, she firmly believed that Brenly's dreams were indeed shadows of the future.
Many seasons later....
It was a night of a full moon on the southern plateau where the ruins of old Loamhedge Abbey lay. A nightingale trilled sadly in the dark, it's song rising to the stars that twinkled above. Then it suddenly stopped. The bird had sensed the presence something. Something evil.
Three figures strode silently across the plain that lay before the ruins. They were all donned with hooded cloaks, two black, and one purple. They stopped in front of the decimated ruins of the Abbey and the two outside figures threw back their hoods. The black-hooded one was a tall female ferret, and the purple-hooded creature was a short but lithe male black rat. They stood silently gazing at the caved-in entrance to the old cellars of Loamhedge.
The middle figure, it's black hood still covering it's face, spoke, "Is this the place, Zadan?" The rat bowed as he answered, "Yes, O Great One. My scouts have found the perfect place for your mighty empire to take root." The middle figure turned to the ferret, "Do your visions tell you so, Kereth?" The ferret closed her eyes and drew several objects from a belt-pouch about her waist. One was the hollowed-out skull of a raven, the other, a pawful of herbs and leaves which cast a strong, sickly-sweet smell over the plain. She crushed the herbs in her paw and sprinkled them in the skull. She breathed in the evil odors and gave a long, rasping sigh. "It is indeed, O Mighty Ruler. From the ruins of peace, shall spring up a kingdom of powerful evil." The middle creature gave a low, hissing laugh, "Finally! I place that I may set up my kingdom, away from the cursed sunlight!"
The two other vermin bowed low as the black-cloaked creature threw back it's hood. He was a tall, sinewy polecat, with pure-white fur and eyes that glinted red in the moonlight. His face was streaked with black and red dyes to outline his evil features. He smiled, revealing two long, sharp fangs that protruded from his upper jaw. He rasped, "Yesssssss....... my reign will be long and mighty indeed! I shall build my kingdom of the underworld as a blight upon the land; for creatures to fear and respect! Yessssssss, all will tremble at my name! The name.....of Malkariss!" Zadan and Kereth remained bowed as they spoke together, "It is as you say, O Malkariss, Lord of Darkness!"
Chapter One
It was evening in the far southern woodlands, and all was quiet, save for the frantic racing of footpaws and the crashing of ferns and bushes as a pair of rats ran headlong through the foliage, driven on by terror.
It was coming.
They could here the pounding of it's powerful claws on the ground behind them; the heavy breathing as it followed them; the coarse rasping of its throat as it sniffed and gaped for them.
It was coming.
One of the rats tripped on a protruding root and went sprawling onto the forest floor, but his companion ran on, spurred by fear. The rat raced onward, more speed added to his paws as he heard the terrified screams of the unfortunate vermin that had fallen.
It had found him.
The remaining rat sped through the woodlands until he came upon a small clearing where many makeshift tents were set up. He was stopped by a weasel holding a pike, "Halt! Who goes there?" The rat shoved past him, yelling hoarsely, "It's coming!" The weasel stood staring at the retreating figure for a moment. "What? Who's coming?" He half turned at a sound behind him and soon found out.
The weasel's scream awoke everybeast in the vermin camp. Garzat, the stoat warlord, came out from his tent, his sword in paw. He glared around the camp, "Wot's all the racket about?" Then he stood stock still, his eyes fixed in horror at the beast that stood in the midst of the camp. He backed off slowly as it came towards him, the shredded carcasses of several unlucky vermin in it's huge claws. Garzat pointed shakily at it with his sword, stuttering, "Y-y-y-you! But...but I killed you! No! You're-you're dead!" The beast came closer to him, it's dark, evil eyes shining with savage vengeance. Like a flashback, the stoat remembered everything that had come up to this.
Many seasons in the past, a verminbabe had been born in his clan. But it was not like other creatures; It's mother had been a weasel and it's father a ferret. The mixed genes had caused a strange mutation in the creature; it had no external ears, a very short neck, and stocky, muscular limbs. It's fangs were unnaturally long and it's body was bulky and powerful, even as a babe. It's mother had died giving birth to it, and Garzat had executed it's father for parenting such a beast. He had it thrown out into the woods, after ordering his vermin to beat and mutilate it savagely. Now it was back. The beast that had been outcast from his clan; the beast that had been a freakish monster. It was back. And looking for revenge.
Garzat struck out with his sword as it came closer to him, but the monster ripped the blade from his grasp and crushed it with one paw. Saliva flecked it's mouth and blood dripped from it's claws as it came closer, something akin to a smile on it's evil face. Garzat turned and ran for his life, shoving aside vermin and screaming in terror. The beast went after him, slaying any creature in it's path as it pounded after it's mortal enemy. Garzat raced through the trees, not daring to look behind him. Suddenly the sounds of the creature that was chasing him stopped. The stoat slowed to a halt as he stood still and listened. There was not a sound. He gave a sigh of relief, but it was caught in his throat as a huge paw shot out from beside him and grasped his neck. Garzat struggled wildly as he stared into the savage face of his former pursuer. The huge beast crushed harder on the stoat's neck and brought it's prey closer to it's face. Then it spoke. It was both the first and the last time that Garzat had ever heard it speak. It's voice was a deep, grating whisper, "Wearet has found you!"
Chapter Two
Razgath the pine marten was a mercenary. He traveled from horde to clan to slaving line, doing whatever he was told for the right price. He was quite handsome, with fur that was dark brown, almost black and he spoke with a curious accent. He carried two weapons; a long whip which was studded with barbed spikes and a bolas, three metal balls on leather straps attached to a short wooden handle. He was skilled with both weapons and it was said that he could take out a dragonfly in mid-air with his whip. But right now Razgath was not working for anybeast. He traveled alone in southern Mossflower, surviving off the land and mostly ignoring anybeast that crossed his path; unless they carried anything of value. He never went too far north though, for he was cautious about the infamous Redwall Abbey and it's mighty warriors.
The pine marten strode along through the woods, practicing with his whip by snapping the heads of flowers from their stalks. His stomach growled and he looked about for any type of food he could find. Then he spotted a nest high up in an oak tree. He grinned and tucked his weapons into his belt and flexed his claws. Razgath ran forward and leaped up onto the tree trunk, his sharp claws grasping the bark. He was as good as any squirrel when it came to climbing. He soon came upon the clump of branches that held the nest. It was a wood-pigeon nest with three chicks in it. Razgath smiled. What luck! He drew out his whip and plucked a spike from it. Then he grabbed one of the chicks and was about to pierce the spike through it's heart, when he heard voices from below.
He glanced down and saw two hedgehogs trundling along through the woods, carrying haversacks. They were armed with only walking sticks. The pine marten chuckled and placed the bird back into it's nest. Why eat a scrawny baby bird when he could have whatever good food was held in those haversacks? He cracked his whip out, wrapping it on a branch and swung down. He landed right in front of the surprised hedgehogs, his whip in paw.
One of the hedgehogs, a burly male, growled, "Who are you and why are you stopping us?"
Razgath paced around them, cracking his whip every now and then, "Don't ye worry, messieur hedgepig, I am not here to stop ye from goin' anywhere. I'm just a puir beastie who's come on ha'd times! What 'ave ye got in the haversacks, eh?"
The hedgehog held his staff out defensively, "You wretched thief! We have all of our food and belongings in these here bags, and you won't be getting 'em!"
The whip snaked out and yanked the staff from the hedgehog's grasp. Razgath caught it and twirled it around. He pointed it at the other hedgehog, a female. "How about you, madam? Will ye be so kind as to help feed a sta'vin creature?" Her spines bristled as she shouted, "Get away from us, you foul vermin! We're a going to Redwall Abbey and we don't want any trouble!" The pine marten threw the staff up into the air and caught it with his whip, "Redwall Abbey ye say? Well, they've got fuid a-plenty, so why keep wat ye have all to yersel'es, eh?"
He struck out with the whip again, and it snapped the straps off of the female hedgehog's haversack, slightly cutting into her shoulder as well. The burly male roared and charged at Razgath, but the marten side-stepped and slammed the staff on the back of the hedgehog's head. He slumped senseless to the ground, and the female ran over to him, crying out, "Oh you horrible creature! You vile vermin!"
Razgath picked up both haversacks and bowed low, a charming smile on his face, "Ah, he'll be fine madam. But I thank ye kindly fuir supplyin' a puir beast such as myself with such wonde'ful gifts! A good day to ye, and say allo to all o' the kind creatu'es at Redwall for me!" Then he disappeared up a tree like a shot, leaving the two robbed and injured hedgehogs behind.
A lone squirrel stood on the south battlements of Redwall Abbey, looking out across Mossflower Woods. He sighed and took off the green beret that was on his head, fondling it gently. It had belonged to his father, Samkim, a warrior of the Abbey, who had helped the Badger Lord of Salamandastron mountain in a fight against an evil vermin horde. Now he, Sanken, was Redwall's Champion, and it was his duty to defend the Abbey and it's inhabitants from all enemies. But something was troubling him. The weapon of all Abbey Champions was the famous sword of Martin the Warrior, a blade that was stronger than any other and was said to be made from a fallen star. But Sanken did not carry the marvelous sword, like his father had. It was hidden away up on the roof of the Abbey, as was the instruction by the spirit of Martin the Warrior, the first champion of Redwall. Now Sanken was without the sword that he should rightfully wield, and was stuck with a simple dagger and bow. He drew the dagger from his belt and carved it along the edge of the sandstone wall.
Just then he heard a shout from below and he looked down. He saw two hedgehogs limping through the trees towards the Abbey and he called down, "What seems to be the trouble, friends?" The male hedgehog had awakened and he called up while rubbing his head, "We were attacked an' robbed on our way here! Can you please let us in?" Sanken nodded and raced down towards the Abbey grounds. Mara, the badger mother of Redwall, had heard the squirrel warrior talking to someone over the wall and she asked, "Who is it Sanken? Visitors?" Sanken replied as he ran by, "Aye, two injured hedgehogs! Let them in quick!"
The small south wall-gate was opened and Sanken ushered in the weary travelers. Several Redwallers had gathered around to see what had happened. Mara saw the hedgehog's injuries and said quickly, "Go get young Brother Methuselah, he's good at healing wounds." A young mole went off to do so, and Sanken held up the male hedgehog as he swayed and groaned, "Ooohh.... me achin' head! We was just coming here to Redwall when we was attacked by a vermin thief, so we was!" Sanken frowned, "What kind of vermin, sir?" The hedgehog narrowed his eyes and scratched his chin, "Well.... I'm not really sure. I was knocked out colder 'n a frozen pole, when he got away." Mara was taking the wounded hogwife up to the infirmary when the hedgehog stopped and said, "I remember what it were. A big vermin with a bushy tail an' a whip. He dropped down from the trees and took our food and belongings! He spoke funny too. Ohh, if I get my paws on him I'd teach 'im a thing or two!" She winced and held her shoulder while Mara lead her into the Abbey. Sanken spoke through grit teeth, "Razgath!" The hedgehog shrugged, "Didn't know his name, but he were a nasty beast. Sorta polite though for a vermin." Sanken sighed, "Yes, Razgath is a thief and a rouge sure enough. He's come by here many a time; robbing travelers and causing concern about Mossflower. But you'll be safe here, my friend. Go up the infirmary and we'll bring you something to eat." The hedgehog smiled at him, "Thankee kindly sir!" As he walked off to the Abbey, Sanken looked out the open wall-gate. He grasped his dagger-handle tight and strode out the door. He would put a stop to that pine marten's thievery for good.
Razgath sat up in a tree fork, eating the last of the food that had been in the first haversack. He flicked an apple into the air and caught it with his whip. He gave a sigh of contentment as he munched on the apple. This was the good life. No more hordes or vermin bands for him, he would just sit back and take the pickings from innocent travelers. Suddenly he heard a noise from below and looked down. It was that pesky warrior squirrel from the Abbey! The pine marten drew the bolas from his belt and twirled it around lazily. If the squirrel wanted a fight, then he would get one.
He lay back on the limb with his eyes closed and called down, "Allo, my friend! And what are you doing out here in the forest when you could be in you nice, snug Abbey, eh?" Suddenly he felt the prick of cold steel at his throat and he opened his eyes to see Sanken standing over him, his dagger at Razgath's neck. The squirrel growled, "Enough of your games, vermin! You are to leave Mossflower Woods, or die! Choose!" Razgath smiled calmly and tipped the blade away from his neck. "We needn't to be so harsh about a few liddle robberies, no?" Sanken's voice was hard as iron, "No! You will leave or die! Make your choice!" The marten shrugged and stood up, climbed up the branch a little ways and pointed to the haversacks, "If you want 'em, then take 'em! I've had my fill already." The squirrel glared hard at him, "Leave or die?" Razgath raised his paws disarmingly, "Alright, alright, have it your way!" He bent over as if he was going to leap down from the tree limb, when he suddenly sprang up and whirled his bolas, yelling, "Nobeast tells Razgath what te do!" He hurled the bolas at Sanken, but the squirrel dodged it and pulled the bow from his back. The bolas straps wound around a branch behind him, the metal balls clacking together. Razgath had his barbed whip out in a flash. Sanken fired an arrow at him, but the pine marten cracked it out of mid-air with a flick of his wrist. Sanken had his dagger between his teeth and another arrow in his bow. He was about to fire when the whip slashed out and knocked the bow from his paws, cutting them in the process. The squirrel gave a muffled cry of pain and the dagger fell from his mouth, following his bow down to the ground below. Razgath cracked his whip in the air and sneered, "Ye see? Nobeast outwits or outfights Razgath the Mercenary! Now go back to ye pretty liddle Abbey, squirrel! I'll leave, but I'll also remember this day! Au revoir warrior!" He leaped over to the branch that his bolas was wrapped around and unwound it. Then he flicked his whip out and wrapped it around the remaining haversack and leaped off into the trees and out of sight.
Sanken lay on a branch, nursing his sliced paws. He felt horrible; some great Redwall Warrior he was! He had been beaten by his enemy, and had even let him get away with the booty as well as drop his own weapons while in battle! At least he had got that thieving scum to leave Mossflower. But was it for good? Razgath had said that he would never forget this day. Did that mean that he would come back? Well whatever he meant, it wasn't good for Redwall. Sanken groaned and climbed painfully down the tree. When he reached the ground, he looked around the ferns and bushes for his weapons. He found his bow, but the dagger was lost from sight. If only he had the sword of Martin, then he would have surely won the battle! He sighed again and went back to Redwall, with tears of rage and disappointment stinging his eyes.

This sign is posted near one of the Triangle Petroleum Corporation's former fracking sites in Kennetcook. The roadway to the site is blocked by a lock gate.
An American company's search for natural gas in Nova Scotia has led to one fracking issue after another in Hants County.
While the Denver-based Triangle Petroleum Corporation's exploration activity in the rural East Hants communities of Noel and Kennetcook typically generates the most hype regarding the undetermined environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing in Hants County, documents obtained through access to information legislation recently thrust the Town of Windsor into the frackingspotlight as well.
The acquired documents, made public by the citizen-run Nova Scotia Fracking Resource and Action Coalition (NOFRAC),showed that the Town of Windsor received approval from the provincial Department of Environment to use its municipal sewage treatment plant to dispose of brine water transported from the Atlantic Industrial Services' facility in Debert.
The approval was grantedbefore the brine water — waste produced when millions of litres of frack fluid comprised of water, sand and a cocktail of chemicals was injected in the ground to release shale gas and hydrocarbons from rock formations — was tested for naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs).
The brine water generated by Triangle Petroleum's exploration efforts in East Hants between 2007 and 2009was initially sent to the facility in Debert as part of an ongoing effort to drain storage ponds in Kennetcook holding millions of litres of wastewater produced by the use of hydraulic fracturing in three of the five wells the company drilled within its "Windsor Block."
Town officials claim no knowledge of NORMs
Atlantic Industrial Services (AIS) turned to the Town of Windsor for help treating the brine water in 2009. Windsor's town council discussed a Brine Solution Treatment Draft Agreement in camera at a Sept. 22, 2009 council meeting.
Following the closed session, council voted unanimously in favour of accepting a motion moved by Coun. John Bregante, and seconded by Deputy Mayor Laurie Murley. The motion stipulated that council would agree to work with Atlantic Industrial Services Limited if the proposed brine treatment agreement was revised to include recommendations from representatives of CBCL Limited and AIS, Nova Scotia Environment confirmed that all of the department's concerns were addressed, and a written procedure for brine testing was drafted and agreed upon.
In a phone interview Oct. 18, Mayor Paul Beazley said it seemed like a good idea at the time.
"There was no reason not to," he said, during the conversation that was placed on speakerphone to include Town of Windsor CAO Louis Coutinho.
Coutinho and Beazley said council was not aware of any concerns regarding radioactive elements in the brine water when the decision was made to treat the waste at the town's sewage treatment plant.
"Certainly anything that was done was done under the direction of the Nova Scotia Department of Environment… it was the department that said this… brine water should be treated as normal wastewater and there was no information to suggest it was anything different than normal wastewater," Beazley said.
The town was paid about $100,000 for treating more than seven million litres of brine water between March 2010 and August 2011, said Don Beatty, Windsor's Director of Public Works, in an email to the Hants Journal.
"The town received a report from a consulting firm stating that our plant was capable of treating the brine water in question. As we were not aware that the wastewater contained radioactive components, this aspect of treatment was never considered," Beatty noted.
Water treated at Windsor's wastewater facility is flushed into the Minas Basin, near the mouth of the St. Croix River, Beatty said.
The town stopped accepting the wastewater in August 2011 when, Coutinho said, town officials were advised to stop accepting shipments of brine water.
"All we received was a call from one of their inspectors (to) our water treatment plant saying that one of the things that they haven't been testing for were NORMs," the CAO explained, later adding: "The moment we heard it we stopped taking any [brine] water into our sewage treatment plant."
As for the water that's already made its way to the Minas Basin, it seems the contents of that frack waste will remain a mystery.
"It's a year and a half later so we can't test the water that's already gone through, but our treatment facility… does get tested on a regular basis," Beazley said.
Both the town's mayor and CAO say Windsor has not received any reports confirming that the brine water treated in Windsor was contaminated.
"From all the information that we have had going back to before we even accepted the water, all the way through and up until this minute, we have not been advised of any safety concerns related to the water that went through our system," Beazley said.
An email conversation dating back to December 2011 between Triangle Petroleum's former CEO, Dr. Peter Hill, and a compliance and inspection co-ordinator with Nova Scotia Environment that is posted in the public documents section of NOFRAC's website shows that brine water samples taken from the holding ponds in Kennetcook were found to be in excess of the allowable NORM limits defined in Health Canada's guidelines.
In a brief phone interview Oct. 19, Environment Minister Sterling Belliveau said the public need not be concerned about the water discharged in the Minas Basin.
"These levels of NORMs are very low-risk to the public," he said.
"I want to ensure the public that the federal government has identified these are at low-risk levels."
The approval for the Town of Windsor to treat brine water was based on a consultant's report and, Belliveau said, he believes an inspector with AIS was the first to raise concerns about the level of NORMs in the frack waste.
A complicated clean-up in Kennetcook
Belliveau said the government is committed to getting the holding ponds in Kennetcook cleaned up "as quickly as possible."
Lori Errington, a communications staffer with Nova Scotia Environment, said the presence of NORMs in the wastewater stored in Kennetcook complicates the clean-up process.
"The discovery of naturally occurring radioactive materials in the wastewater last November (2011) means that the water will have to be treated differently than originally planned. This may take more time, but we will ensure that Triangle properly treats the water and cleans up the area."
Triangle Petroleum received approval to use drilling and fracking to search for natural gas in East Hants from the Department of Energy but, Errington said, an industrial approval was sought from Nova Scotia Environment when the production water was deemed "salty."
Errington said Nova Scotia Environment inspectors visit the site of the holding ponds frequently, and the government will not be issuing any more approvals for fracking until a review of the extraction procedure is completed in 2014.
Concerned citizens fuelling fight against fracking
Ken Summers, a local member of NOFRAC, played a key role in obtaining the freedom of information requests that led to the public being informed of the Town of Windsor's involvement with the disposal of brine water.
Summers said he was surprised the Department of Environment allowed the town to process the brine water at a treatment plant designed for biological waste.
"You don't put untreated fracking waste into sewage treatment plants," the Minasville resident said.
"Even if you don't know to look at radioactivity, there's huge questions about the chemicals."
Summers said the "bare minimum" he wants from the government, as a resident of a community neighbouring the Kennetcook-based lagoons holding 11 million litres of frack water, is soil testing.
"For us, it's even worse. We have these ponds sitting here, we still have most of the water in an unprotected location and nobody's doing anything."
Jennifer West, a groundwater co-ordinator with the Ecology Action Centre and member of NOFRAC, believesa lot can be learned from Hants County's fracking-related woes.
"I think the situation that has come about in the past five years in Hants County really illustrates that it's a very new industry; we don't have an understanding of all of the impacts that it will have on our communities."
In Kennetcook, West fears the fluids that seeped out of a leaking holding pond could potentially contaminate drinking water supplies. She says Nova Scotia Environment should conduct regular air, soil and water quality tests to closely monitor the environmental impact of the brine water storage in the area.
"I think it is a very distinct possibility of unknown chemicals leeching into the ground and impacting drinking water in that area."
In Windsor, she hopes lessons have been learned about fracking.
"If I were a citizen in the Windsor area I would really be asking hard questions to the government as to what did they know about this waste before they allowed it to be dumped in their community," she said.
"The government really should have been careful in knowing exactly what was in that waste before they OK'd it for being transported away from the site."
West says the devotion of volunteers with grassroots organizations has pressured the provincial government to question Nova Scotia's ties with the fracking industry, and she hopes the review due in 2014 will be a comprehensive report that puts human health before wealth.
"I think that the general public should know that fracking is a new method that has a lot of complicated side effects and impacts, and we don't understand all of these different impacts," she said.
"It's a method that's being sold by the oil and gas industry to produce oil and gas, so we have to be really careful of the messages that we hear and take them with a grain of salt."
Triangle Petroleum's new CEO, Jonathan Samuels, was unavailable for comment.

Talk Roundup
8 June 2007
|Fancy being a Mumsnet Local Tsar? (or should that be Tsarina?) Are you the source of all local knowledge and gossip? We are looking to recruit committed Mumsnetters to take charge of each Mumsnet local site. The role would involve galvanising other local Mumsnetters to make your section as up to date, full of listings and useful as possible, editing new postings for accuracy and checking out new places for possible inclusion. It's a voluntary post but you can make as much (or as little) of it as you like, stick it on your CV if that would help and/or share it with another Mumsnetter if you're worried about time commitments. If it sounds like something you'd be interested in, sign up here and we'll send you some more info.
This week Weebleswobble was feeling broody and needed reminding why she REALLY doesn't want ANOTHER BABY. Nannyogg empathised, "I saw a lovely tiny quiet baby in the supermarket and got broody for about half an hour, before I came home to the joys of my tired, grumpy, loud, demanding toddler." Scorpio1 more helpfully volunteered, "puke, feeding, no life, no money, saggy boobs/tummy, stretchmarks, no sex life." "Don't forget constipation because you're too scared to poo after having the 'devil in disguise' in case all your stitches give way and all your insides fall into the toilet" added Weebleswobble, regaining her memory in the nick of time.
God, why are some mums so bloody dull? moaned Allgonebellyup. "Blaardy bores. Does my head in!! Don't they have any interests?" "Well, you tend to talk to people at the school gates about the reason you are there I suppose, which is children," offered a diplomatic UCM, "I would not walk into my local toddler group and tell them that I like anal sex on Sunday mornings, with kippers afterwards." Not so at NormaStiltonFletcher's toddler group, though, "I met a lovely mum at local mums and tots. Her second sentence to me was 'I am quite worried as I have this op coming up, I am having vaginal reconstructive surgery'. I knew at that point that we would get along fine." Allgonebellyup was not to be placated though, "I would rather be discussing my girlie holiday in Ibiza, and the tunes I listen to." "Maybe they've all got ipods crammed to the gills with banging sounds and they're so off their tits on smack that they can't talk about politics 'til teatime" suggested Sobernow.
Petitfilou has discovered that you are finally a real mother when "You are eating a fruit Gu pudding and think 'that pot will make a good thruster for a rocket.'" A sleep-deprived Kinki thinks it's "When you try to rock a sack of potatoes to sleep at the checkout" and MamaD "when ordering your first drink of an evening and realising that you have a sachet of Calpol, a spare dummy, plastic spoon and dirty bib in your handbag." Whilst the rather appropriately-monikered Hassled plumped for "When you've scooped a child's turd out of the bath with your bare hands".
Has anyone seen my wife? asked Hassledhubby (possibly wondering if she'd washed her hands), "I was hoping to find my wife to come and finish the bedroom routine. I don't want to shout and wake up DS2 and am too tired to climb up stairs to loft. I last heard her muttering something about 'taking the ironing upstairs' which usually is code for escaping on to Mumsnet. Don't know her 'Mumsnet name' but if anyone of you is my wife, could you pop down and tuck DS1 up if it's not too much trouble." A process of elimination disqualified various relieved MNers, "'I don't want to shout' ....nah, can't be my husband. I'm safe" sighed Tigermoth and NotQuiteCockney was also certain it wasn't her DH, who would "PHSL if I claimed I was off to do ironing!" Finally Hassledhubby tracked down his AWOL missus, but took precautions to avoid similar future crises, "We have now installed Instant Messenger and also Skype so we now have two new ways of avoiding talking to each other in person." Squonk swooned slightly, "I wish DP would have the nous to post a thread like this, instead of sucking his teeth and doing that 'oh God Mumsnet' thing he does." That's all for this week. I must run - I have to take the ironing upstairs


text: Shroud Day (French: Jour de Linceul) is an official state holiday every year on February 4th in the French Empire marking the anniversary of Napoleon I's death. Shroud Day is considered important as all businesses are typically closed, and all government services are shut down. It is also traditionally a day when major political announcements are made by the Emperor - it has often been used as a day when the Emperor fires ranking Ministers who displease him and publicly introduces their successors, typically in the same news conference. The Emperor's Shroud Day Address is a tradition dating back to the 1880's, when Emperor Philippe would address the Grand Assembly every year on the day, and gradually spread nationwide with the advent of the radio and television. Shroud Day is, along with Coronation Day (May 18th) and Triumph Day (July 10th), one of the Great Three French holidays that extends all the way back to the mid-1800's in reverence, and is arguably the most significant of them.

Ospamox amoxicillin where to purchase
Last year I was unlucky to develop a severe throat infection. It caused me a lot of problems as at first I ignored it, waiting for the disorder to go away on its own, and later I selected the wrong treatment methods as I was lazy to visit a doctor. However my sister interfered when it was not too late and because of her persistence and care I managed to avoid serious problems with the help of Amoxicillin - a good quality antibiotic that helped me conquer the nasty throat infection. If it weren't for the wonderful medication and for my sister I could lose my voice and even could have developed the need for a surgical operation. I do not even know the real reasons why the infection occurred but it started as simple short-time throat pain, a cup of hot tea was usually the best treatment, but it lasted for a week and then the pain got worse. In 10 more days I couldn't eat because of pain. However three days on Amoxicillin were enough to treat the infection. Several more days were needed to eliminate all the symptoms and soon I was like a newly born. Never though throat infection can be such a damn problem.

Idina Menzel Reviews
Seen this show? Why not help your fellow Houston Theater visitors.Write a review
Bambam from Boston, Massachusetts
Idina Menzel performed to a very happy crowd last night at the Boston pavillion. Despite intermittent rain, the crowd was excited and not disappointed. Her range of musical selections was wonderful as is her on stage personality. She sings several selections from rent, wicked and of course frozen. She can really sing just about anything.. Her rendition of Dear Prudence was beautiful.. Without hesitation I would recommend going to one of her concerts.

The U.S. Coast Guard closed a portion of the lower Mississippi River near the north Louisiana community of Transylvania on Thursday after a coal barge sunk inside the channel, according to a Coast Guard press release.
At about 1:30 a.m., the Coast Guard received a call that while the UTV Sally Bromfield towing vessel was pushing 35 barges, there was a breakaway near Transylvania and the coal barge sank.
Transylvania is located mostly in East Carroll Parish.
One barge is partially under water and eight other barges were damaged. The damaged barges have been placed in a location out of the navigation channel, according to the Coast Guard.
The lower Mississippi River will remain closed from mile marker 469 to mile marker 464 in north Louisiana until the river is determined safe for navigation, according to the Coast Guard.

Massacre Photos

A picture taken on February 6, 2012 shows right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik smiling as he arrives in court in Oslo. A Norwegian prosecutor said on March 2, 2012 he was conditionally ready to accept that the gunman who killed 77 people in twin attacks last July 2011 was not criminally responsible, which would allow him to be locked up in a psychiatric ward instead of a prison. Breivik asked on February an Oslo court to release him immediately, explaining that his massacre was a 'preventive attack against state traitors.'

Hi-Ratio Shortening?

Hi all -- What is the difference between hi-ratio and reg. shortening? I am not talking about the difference in terms of baking with it; rather, I mean in terms of what it's made of. Is it "worse" for you than regular shortening? Bottom line: is it going to put me in an earlier grave? Any insight is appreciated!

Word{less} Wednesday : It's Been a While
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
This past weekend we had one very rare thing happen. Hubby had a Saturday off. It actually will be the last one he has for the next 6 months as he just received his work schedule for the next 6 months and no weekends so it meant that much more.
We decided we would head to the pumpkin patch although I was missing one of my kids as he had to work. We also got a huge surprise as we found out 2 of my SIL's were there with their babies and husbands so we got to enjoy seeing their youngest be at the pumpkin patch for the first time too.
I love and cherished our time all together. It's going to an "interesting" 6 months as Hubby will basically become a vampire and we will still be stuck in the "normal" world but we will work it out and remember each day our blessings and be thankful.
I must be honest I have been grumpy, sad, angry and even a little bit of "it's not fair" but I also have to remember we have gone through crazier bumps and events but giving it to God and having faith it all has by his grace made us stronger.
Remember to enjoy all the moments you can I know I will. If all goes as planned we have some more fun planned this weekend and on Monday it will be a very blessed day for our family as my youngest son will have his Confirmation so my heart is already bursting because of that.
Well besides making memories one has to remember to take care of oneself so today Hubby actually has off so how romantic is it that we will be going into get our annual physicals and flu shots since it's that time of the year. Well hopefully after I'll squeeze a run to the craft store so I can share a cute little project I have planned with the girls!
Now go and enjoy your day. If your in NY REALLY enjoy it since today's the last day of Summer in the Fall kind of weather they say!
Any fun/milestones happening for you and your family soon?

99 Problems was The Wørd on the August 22, 2006 edition of The Colbert Report.
Stephen used it as a starting point as he outlined the three dangers facing America: The United Nations, The MTV and Stephen Colbert's musical black friend Jay-Z. Together, these three powers pose a grave threat to our nation's security, because when mega-stars like Jay-Z team up with Kofi Annan, suddenly international diplomacy becomes cool.
99 Problems is also the title of Stephen's 6th favorite song by Mr. Jay-Z.
Bobby used to be 36 of Stephen's 99 problems[1], but this is no longer an issue.Episode #383

From New York Times best-selling author Joseph Prince comes a book about living above defeat and experiencing breakthroughs in every area of life.
Grace Revolution is about the explosive, inside-out transformation that occurs in the innermost sanctum of the human heart when a person meets Jesus personally.
To help the listener live out this new perspective, the author will give five practical and powerful keys that, if understood and internalized, will become highly effective principles of success and living a victorious life.
©2015 Joseph Prince (P)2015 Hachette Audio
"Narration bland"
I would have liked to hear Pastor Prince narrate the book. It will give a certain impartation that I am not getting from the narrator. I am having a hard time keeping my focus because the voice is a little boring. He is a good reader, don't get me wrong, but I cannot focus with his voice.
"Loved it. So inspirational and motivational."
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound brought to life. Truly inspiring. Life changing. New outlook.
"Great expose' of Grace"
I enjoyed this book. Grace is so powerful and pastor Prince has made it so easy to comprehend
This book should be used as the Training for every NEW and every "Galatian Transformed" Believer....
I once was LAW BLINDED BUT NOW I SEE!!!
GRACE Covenant is the END TIME Authoritiy that TRUE Believers MUST RECEIVE to do KINGDOM SOUL WINNING and Overcoming the devil and "ALL" darkness ....
Gadget Girl
Loved loved loved it! Joseph Prince once again delivered on the teaching of God's Grace! !!
A must read for those desiring to know the mystery of the gospel, the depth of God's love, and the fulness of Life in Christ.
"Grace Revolution"
Great book Pastor Prince! I highly recommend it! Peaceful and condemnation. Will listen to again!
"We Are In A Grace Revolution Thanks Pastor Prince"
What A Great Spirit filled book that gives the tangible Truth that the REAL message of GRACE doesn't cause Sin more, but it truly sent you free From sin and places you firmly on the road of Righteousness, and Holiness that releases the blessings that GOD in CHRIST is pregnant with to give birth through the Church to a lost and dying World that needs the tangible love, that an Unselfish GOD and Savior has for them! Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
"JP is such a blessing"
I am more and more in love with Jesus every time His amazing Grace is taught by JP. I thank Jesus for him .
It was simply amazing, every word in this book is God breathed. It's not about the man(Joseph Prince) it's about the word God has put in the man. The constant focus on Jesus is so liberating. This book is a must read for those seeking to know more about the heart of God, and about Jesus. It's also for those who feel as if they have been running in circles in their Christian lives, or those who feel as if they have hit a wall and can no longer move ahead in their journey with Christ. This book will free you as it has with so many people. The fact is when the beautiful heart of Jesus is revealed, a change begins in the heart. The rest is indescribable
"up lifting. Amazing book, it has changed my life."
Jess is the most important person in my life. I now see myself through God Grace.
I highly recommend this book.
"Life changing!"
There's so much transforming power in this book. I was lost now I'm found.
Thank you JP for your obedience to gods will.

Friendly Ship!: Carnival Miracle Cruise Review by NoobCroozer
Overall Member Rating
Friendly Ship!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
My wife and I live in upstate NY and drove to the pier, which is a 50 minute drive. We got to the pier and dropped off our bags with the porters and proceeded to the parking area...$240 for the week....OUCH (we knew ahead of time of the cost). While parking the car, we observed the More Miracle in all her glory, she looked majestic! Nice and clean. We worked our way down the escalators to the line to board, proceeded to wait in one of 3 monstrous lines for a little over an hour. For the longest time we just stood in 1 spot, which was brutal. The three lines were broke down into a lane on the right (which we were in), a lane on the left and one in the center of the pier, which was the only line which had seats. I would say to get to the pier a little earlier to grab those seats, but I don't think that I would want to get their an hour earlier just for the luxury. While waiting on line my wife and I were your average up-tight New Yorkers, barely cracking a smile with anyone around us....Then something uncanny happened. There was a couple in line directly in front of us. The man was wearing a Washington Redskins jersey. My wife (clueless to football) asked him "Are you guys from Ohio" thinking the indian represented the Cleveland Indians...they got quite a laugh from that, and after a couple minutes of conversing with them, I discovered that the woman was in fact lollyRN from the boards on CruiseCritic.com, with whom I had been conversing with last several months.....unbelievable. In a crowd of 2,000+ and talking with someone online for months whom I knew nothing about on a website with over 300,000 and to have her standing directly in front of us in line was insane. Needless to say, the four of us immediately hit it off, and they were our buds the rest of the trip (we even got the Maitre D to seat us for dinner every night).
We were visited by the upgrade fairy on this one, as my wife booked an 8A. The room was fabulous, spacious and laid out well. The large balcony was a definite plus. My only complaint is that being on the 8th deck right below the Lido, we were routinely woken around 4am by ungodly banging right above us. Sounded like people were dropping bowling balls on the ceiling. I don't know what the noise was from, but was annoying. Another small annoyance was when we pulled into St Thomas I think....we were woken to an unnerving grinding sound and vibration that I presume was the screws turning in opposite directions...I guess that's the price you pay for being in the back of the ship....although it was only one night we felt this.
For a ship that is 4 years old without being refurbished, I was amazed in the cleanliness of the ship. The crew did a great job cleaning and painting constantly, even at sea. No strange odors that I have read about on other reviews of other ships. All of the bars, restaurants were also very clean, and I found the themes of all to be quite fun (even the dreaded grape room...Bacchus). I liked the way that the ship flowed easily from one end to the other....the only time I got lost was trying to locate the arcade in the front of the ship, which was weird. I think its on the third deck, but you could only access it from decks 2/4...nestled within the Phantom Lounge or Mad Hatter I presume.
One word...OUTSTANDING. EVERY single person on the ship treated my wife and I like ROYALTY. Our Steward Leo was very attentive and always checking to see if we needed anything...a pleasure! Our waiter Marc in the Bacchus Room was also very good and a joy to converse with. Iketut was the man for drinks on the deck near the back pool....always right there when the drinks were low....great guy! I didn't get the name of the staff in Nick and Noras, but they were great as well. My wife and I eat out at least 2 times a week here in New York, and have stayed at some pretty ritzy places (The Plaza, Waldorf etc). I have never received the level of service that I received on the Miracle. The guys we hung around on this cruise all had the same great experience (like 10 of us). I don't know where the folks on here get off rating the service as 2 or less on these reviews.....unless the entire crew was recently replaced which I doubt.
The ONE thing that I think theres room for improvement onboard. The buffet was just that ... a buffet. Aside from the Deli station and the Pizza ship, its pretty much like cafeteria food. It was clean and all and the food was fresh, it was nothing to write home about (except the deli/pizza were good).
Bacchus (the GRAPE)...the food was ok....some nights some things were ok, but for the most part it was like food at a catered event like a wedding. We had great company (Lori and Paul)so the sub par food didn't really matter. I really liked the atmosphere of the Grape ...yeah its a little over the top, but it was great fun!
Nick and Noras....DO yourself a favor and spend the extra $30pp. This supper club was outstanding! The atmosphere and staff were excellent. The last time I experienced dining like this was at Tavern on the Green in NYC. My wife's lobster was succulent, and my 24oz porterhouse steak was the best I ever had (Paul said the same...he had one too). I also liked the fact that you could order multiple things on the menu like in Bacchus of the buffet...but hey....your also paying $30 extra too, so.
Nothing really appealed to us, not into bingo or ring tosses.....I guess some improvement needed. Dint mind though, we loved to be poolside in the off-times.
I was pleasantly surprised at the entertainment. I expected the shows to be tacky, and was dragged against my will by Lori/Paul to the talent show, which was provided by fellow cruisers...it was fun! The comedian was funny too after the talent show.
Phill and Linda dragged us to the Beatles show (I cant stand the Beatles). I couldn't believe the show that they put on...It was very well done, and professional. The special effects (lasers, etc) were better than some of the big time concerts Ive been to over the years...The best part of the show was the ending, where the band that we grew to love in the Franky and Johnnie lounge played. They were "Music Unlimited", a group of Filipino guys that can play everything from Elvis to Led Zeppelin. Every night they played in the lounge we were there...they were OUT OF THIS WORLD! When they were dressed up and playing as the Beatles at the end of the show, they really pulled it off....sounded and looked just like them! It was really outstanding. The same comedian did an adults only show after the Beatles, and he was great.
Shore Excursions...
San Juan.....not much to do, don't know why this is even a port of call. Alot of folks said the same thing. We walked around old San Juan, and while much of it was beautiful, just as much of it was dirty and down right scary....like being in some of the worst parts of NYC. We did make the best of it, and took a horse and buggy ride outside of Carnival, which was ok. But we got right back on the ship as soon a night fell (as most of the passengers did). Alot of people just stayed on board. Heres food for thought....the police ride around wearing FLAK jackets. Not just bullet proof vests. FLAK jackets...to stop rifle rounds....has to tell you something.
St. Thomas....was alot of fun, did the St.Johns Champagne Catamaran sailaway, which I HIGHLY recommend. Was outstanding. Booked through Carnival. Good snorkeling to (if you wanted to...or you could stay on the ship or go to the beach). The crew were great, entertaining and attentive. The snorkel/beach area was pristine. Only downside was it seemed like we were only at the beach for like 45 minutes. But heres how good it was....after spending $198 per couple, most people at the end of the trip threw an extra $20 tip to the crew. AWESOME!
Tortola...The Baths...the excursion started off as a nightmare. First off, the bus to the marina was broken, and the ferry didn't come to the pier to get us for like 40 minutes INTO the excursion time. It took forever for the ferry to tie off in the chop, and once on board the ferry was dirty, smelly, hot, AC was broken, etc etc etc. There was no refreshments provided for the 35 minute ride through 8 foot swells which many got sick from. We were already like 1 hour into the excursion time before we even got to the Baths, but this is when things started to lighten up.....the crew advised that Carnival was going to honor our full time on the island and would leave the port of Tortola when our time was up....nice touch. Main reason to book through Carnival and not the little guy....its well worth the extra 20-50 to go with a Carnival excursion for this reason. The Miracle actually left port 35 minutes behind schedule just so we could get our time in. The Baths were absolutely worth all the trouble getting to. Beautiful and clean, nice snorkeling. The ride back to the ship was smooth, not choppy like described before....so in all, a great time. I would highly recommend this excursion....however, Carnival may want to rethink how to get the people there in a better way than that broken down dirty ferry.
We did the aided disembark. Put our luggage outside our room at 12am the night before. By 9:45am the next morning we were up on Lido eating, and waiting to be called to disembark. We were called by the tag number we were issued for the luggage, and we lucked out with #5. The first group to be called were groups 1-5, so we were first to get off. I think we waited probably 1 hour and 15 minutes to be called. Once called, we were off the ship, with luggage in hand in probably 30 minutes....a total breeze.
Although this was our first cruise, my wife and I were blown away by how friendly everyone was on board. From our new found friends (Lori, Paul, Phill, Linda, Julian and Briety) to the crew and staff....we had the time of our lives!
We are the type of people that like to try new things, so the thought occurred to us to try another line. But since we were treated so well by Carnival, were going to sail them again for the NEXT cruise (hopefully with our new friends =) ). Less

text: We would guess Samsung has this model up its sleeve for a launch at MWC. Although with the launch more or less covered by a retailer in Poland, we wonder whether Samsung might just quietly announce the Galaxy Tab 3 Lite a little earlier.It doesn't matter one way or the other. Ok, we haven't got the UK shelf date or price, but thanks to the retail listing, everything else is out in the public domain. What is it you ask? It's a very cheap Android tablet.At least, it is if you buy it in Poland. If you get an order in there, it is selling for 399zl, which works out at around £80 at the current rate. Is there a catch? Well, yes there is. It isn't exactly cutting edge when it comes to the specification.The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite is a 7-inch tablet with a less-than-impressive 1,024x600-pixel screen. It also packs a 1.2GHz dual-core chip, 1GB RAM, just 8GB of storage (although thee is a card slot) and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which is a couple of generations behind.But it is cheap and in an era of cheap tablets, it might find a niche. This is a brand tablet for little money. That will be a key selling point if or when it makes it to the UK. When Samsung makes an official comment on that front, we'll let you know.Sources: Crave and X-Kom

"I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough..."
Stuart Smalley was a character on Saturday Night Live that used to say, "you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you." THe first principle for happiness in 2008 is stop judging yourself. Jesus tells the woman caught in adultery, "neither do I condemn you. Go your way and from now on don't sin again.†Rather than discuss and debate, rather than pass judgment and condemnation – Jesus has chosen the only path that offers and opportunity for new life. He has forgiven the woman. If Jesus does not judge us, why then should we judge ourselves?

William Glasser, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, first earned a degree in chemical engineering from the then Case Institute of Technology and later became a psychiatrist. He found himself doubting much of the conventional psychoanalysis, in which often the patient is seen as the helpless victim of past traumas, and insisted that the cobwebs of the past be brushed aside and that the patient develop a plan of action for the future. Glasser's conviction that success breeds success and that failure breeds failure led him to develop his reality therapy, a remedy for people for whom conventional psychotherapy does not work and a prescription of use to people regardless of their circumstances. Glasser has also done much for and within the school system, dealing with the issues of motivation, quality in the school, and problems of delinquency. Glasser's books have been translated into many languages. He has wide experience as a psychiatrist in Los Angeles and has been a consultant to the school system there.

Fifty four cyclists from nine teams will take part in the 140km Ascension de Mille Collines tour which will take place this Saturday, Rwanda Cycling Union Executive Secretary Emmanuel Murenzi has confirmed.
Each team is required to register a minimum of four riders and no more than six in the Soras Sponsored one-day competition that will see riders ranked in team category and not as individuals as it has been in the past.
Benediction cycling club which consists four national team riders; Hadi Janvier, Gasore Hategeka, Joseph Biziyaremye and Nathan Byukusenge is favourite to win the competition but Kwita Izina cycling tour champion Abraham Ruhumuriza is not ready to let the Rubavu based club win easily.
"Although they are our biggest challengers, we will not let them win easily. We have some incredible young riders in the team and will work as a team to challenge Benediction," vowed Ruhumuriza, who rides for 'Cycling For All' club.
The other clubs that will take part in the tourney are: Fly (Gasabo), Club les Amis Sportif (Rwamagana), Kiramuruzi (Gatsibo), Rapide (Kicukiro), Ciné Elmay (Nyarugenge) and Satelite from Kayonza.
Debutants Abahizi from Kicukiro, who are mainly composed of Americans working in Kigali, also hopes to make quite an impression in their maiden appearance.
The winners of the race will walk away with Rwf400, 000 while the runners-up and third placed team will bag Rwf300, 000 and 200,000, respectively. The fourth placed team will win themselves Rwf100, 000.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU got some big news this weekend in the form of a commitment from linebacker Lorenzo Phillips, ranked No. 135 in the ESPNU 150.
Phillips, a four-star outside linebacker from Patterson, La., pledged his services to the Tigers during his official visit this weekend, but he said he didn't need the trip to make up his mind.
"I knew before I got up there, I knew I was going to commit. I just didn't know what date," Phillips said. "When I got up there, I felt like it was the right time when I was sitting down with Coach Miles."
This makes Phillips' third commitment since last spring. He pledged to Texas A&M in March before quickly decommitting. He then committed to Florida before decommitting in October.
Phillips said it had always been his intention to decide before National Signing Day, he just didn't know how long he should wait. He said LSU's close proximity to home and presence in the state helped seal the deal.
"It's home. That's one of the reasons I knew already. I wanted to be home and I've got family down there and everything," he said. "All the coaches, the university, and the players, they all just made me feel at home."
Phillips' decision comes as a big boost to an LSU program that has endured a turbulent few weeks. If it wasn't bad enough to lose the BCS Championship Game to rival Alabama, the Tigers followed that up by losing commitments from highly-touted prospects Gunner Kiel and Patrick Miller.
"I'm not worried about it. It just makes me even hungrier, and I wasn't even on the team. So I know how they feel," Phillips said.
The Tigers will suffer heavy losses in the linebacking unit in 2012. Three-year starter Ryan Baker is gone, as are fellow seniors Karnell Hatcher and Stefoin Francois. That fact wasn't lost on Phillips.
"I'm going to be playing (weakside linebacker), and I think with Ryan Baker and everybody leaving, there's a good chance for a freshman to come up and get a chance," he said. "They're starting all over with a brand new unit. As long as I work hard, I should get there, or at least get some playing time."
