m. Abt. 1591
Facts and Events
A brother of 1620 Mayflower passenger John Howland, q.v., Arthur Howland arrived in Plymouth much later. The first mention of him in New England records is in Lechford's Notebook, p. 297-99, where he is described in 1640 as a Duxbury Planter. It was son Arthur who married Elizabeth Prence and acquired a somewhat reluctant father-in-law, Gov. Thomas Prence. Arthur Sr. is mentioned in Plymouth records as a Quaker. See also George E. McCracken, The will of Arthur Howland, Senior, of Marshfield.

More About Arthur Howland: Burial: October 30, 1675, Marshfield
Arthur's brother came over on the Mayflower. (John Howland)
Arthur Howland was the eldest of his father's ten children and spent the first half of his life in Fen Stanton, the village of his birth. Like his father, he was a yeoman. He took to wife on Margaret Reed Walker of the same village, a widow with a year-old-son. They became the parent of three girls and a boy. Ultimately Arthur was drawn to follow his brother John to the Plymouth Colony. The date of Arthur Howland's arrival in American cannot be accurately ascertained. The book PASSENGERS TO AMERICA lists an Arthur Howland as coming American in 1638 on the ship "Lyon". But the date apparently is in error as the ship was wrecked in late 1632. WINTHROP'S JOURNAL, referring to the "Lyon", stated: "She arrived September 16, 1632 with 123 passengers, 50 of them children, after an ocean voyage of eight weeks." Howland could have been among them. The "Lyon" later was lost off the coast of Virginia where she went after stopping in Massachusetts and before returning to Plymouth Colony, was lost but her master William Peirce and his crew were saved. A letter from Captain Peirce written December 25, 1632 said in part: "Dear friends, you may know that your beaver and the books of your accounts are swallowed up in the sea. Your letters remain with me and shall be delivered if God bring me home. But what should I more say; we have lost our outward estates, yet a happy loss if our souls may gain." Several other references note the arrival of Arthur and his brother Henry in Plymouth as 1623 or 1624. Thus, the dates are indeterminate but not the fact of their arrival during the early years of the colony. As an increasing number of immigrants began arriving, the Pilgrim colony found it necessary to establish other settlements to accommodate them. The first was Duxbury, about nine miles to the north of Plymouth (Standish and Alden among others went there about 1632), followed by Marshfield that was another five miles north of Duxbury. Other settlements followed: Scituate was further north still and other were established on the Cape itself, including Barnstable, Sandwich and Yarmouth. Only one was located inland and at some distance from Plymouth -- Taunton, which was situated in western Massachusetts on Narragansett Bay. Henry Howland settled in Duxbury; Arthur and Margaret Howland moved to Marshfield with their family where they lived out their years. In addition to dealing with the challenges of a new land, Arthur and his brother Henry were to face adversity of an unexpected sort. Both had become members of the religious Society of Friends and the meetings of the small group were held in Arthur's house in Marshfield. The Mayflower Pilgrims, who sought religious freedom for themselves, were not tolerant of this other belief in their midst. The Quakers would not pay tithes to the Pilgrim's puritan church, nor would they yield to any law contrary to their conscience. Arthur, particularly, adamantly resisted the tyranny of the established church. As a result, the majority colonists were bitter toward the Quakers and adopted stringent laws punishing their refusal to make contributions and for holding meetings of another faith. As with many other New England colonies, heavy fines were assess for "concealing or entertain Quakers or other blasphemous heretics." Arthur was arrested for his actions in 1657 and, refusing to pay bond, was sent to prison. While in prison he sent a letter to the General Court held in 1658 that the Court found to be "full of fractious, seditious, slanderous passages of dangerous consequences." He was fined, refused to pay and was sent back to prison. One member of the Court was his brother John, a situation not conductive to familial harmony. The difficulties persisted off and on for the remainder of his life. Despite the significant travails which had assaulted them over the years, both Arthur and Margaret Howland lived to be quite old. Each was about 87 when the end came on the very same -- both died October 30, 1675. (Taken from: A Family History, by Donovan Faust)
(The Howland Line). The original Howlands in America were Arthur, Henry and John. The last named was a passenger on the "Mayflower." The others appeared in Plymouth in the early days of the settlement. All figure prominently in the early history of Plymouth Colony. John Howland, founder of the branch of the family herein under consideration, was the thirteenth signer of the "Mayflower Compact." His descendants are found throughout New England. They have been active in Rhode Island life and affairs for over two hundred years. The late Benjamin Baker Howland, of Newport, descended lineally in the sixth American generation from John Howland.
(I) John Howland, immigrant ancestor and progenitor, was a native of England, where he was born in 1592, the son of Humphrey and Annie Howland. With his brothers, Arthur and Henry Howland, he was in Scrooby, a center of Puritan thought and activity; in 1608 they went to Amsterdam, remained a year, then removed to Leyden, where they remained until migrating to New England. At the time of his coming to New England he was twenty-eight years old and, according to Prince, was a member of Governor Carver's family. While the "Mayflower" was yet in Cape Cod harbor, ten of "her principal" men were "sante out," in a boat manned by eight sailors, to select a place for landing. Among them was John Howland. A storm drove them into Plymouth harbor, and Plymouth was selected as the place of settlement.
The first mention of John Howland on the records is on a list of freemen, and as third an the Governor's Council of seven. He was assessor in 1633; in 1636 he served on a jury, and in 1666 was selectman. He represented Plymouth in the Massachusetts General Court in 1652-56-58-61-63-66-67-70. On June 2, 1670, his name appears for the last time as a candidate for public office. At this time he was nearly eighty years old, and refused to serve any longer. He served often on committees to lay out and appraise land, to run highways, settle disputes, etc. He was a zealous worker for the good of the colony, not only temporarily but spiritually.
He is recorded as a "godly man and an ancient professor in the ways of Christ." Governor Bradford notes that he was "a profitable member both in Church and Commonwealth." He was one of the men "appointed by the Church to join in the imposition of hands" at the ordination of John Cotton, Jr., in 1667. John Howland was for many years manager of the colonists' interests in a. trading post on the Kennebec river in Maine. He lived at what was called Rocky Nook, and died February 23, 1672-73. He married Elizabeth Tilley, daughter of John Tilley, of the "Mayflower," who after the death of her father became a member of the household. She died December 21, 1687, at the home of her daughter, Lydia Brown, at Swansea, Mass.
(II) Jabez Howland, son of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland, was born in Plymouth, Mass., in 1628, and resided in that town during the early portion of his life, filling various civil offices. He served as a lieutenant under Captain Benjamin Church, in King Philip's War, and proved his bravery under a test made by Church, for that purpose. He was a blacksmith and: cooper by trade, and followed the occupation with great success in Bristol, where he settled after King Philip's War. His residence was on Hope street, where he kept a hotel. He was first town clerk of Bristol, and also served as an assessor, selectman and deputy to the General Assembly. Jabez Howland was active in the founding of the First Congregational Church of Bristol, and was one of the prominent and esteemed citizens of the town. His will, made July 14, 1708, was proved April 21, 1712, and disposed of an estate valued at six hundred pounds. He married Bethiah Thatcher, daughter of Anthony Thatcher.
(III) Joseph Howland, son of Jabez and Bethiah (Thatcher) Howland, was barn at Bristol, R. I., on December 14, 1692, and died there October 16, 1737. He was baptized November 8, 1695, at the First Congregational Church. He settled in Swansea, Mass., and perhaps later in life removed to Newport. He married Bathsheba Cary, daughter of David and Elizabeth Cary; she was born October 14, 1693, and died October 16, 1775.
(IV) Joseph (2) Howland, son of Joseph (1) and Bathsheba (Cary) Howland, was born in Swansea, Mass., December 6, 1717. He died in Newport, R I., which was his home during the greater part of his life, in March, 1775. In 1776 his widow, Susan, removed to Providence, when the British occupied Newport. She died there, February 12, 1779. He married, in 1746, Susan Baker, daughter of Jeremiah Baker, of Middletown, R. I.
(V) Henry Howland, son of Joseph (2) and Susan (Baker) Howland, was born in Newport, R. I., about 1751. He was a lifelong resident of Newport, where he died July 9, 1843, aged ninety-two years. Henry Howland married Susan Baker. They were the parents of Benjamin Baker Howland, of further mention.
(VI) Benjamin Baker Howland, son of Henry and Susan (Baker) Howland, was born at Newport, December 11, 1787. At an early age he was thrown upon his own resources, and having a taste for drawing and painting, began the study of portraiture under Robert Feke. He later abandoned this work for a business career, however, and established himself in the commission business. His first venture was a failure, but by dint of hard work and indomitable perseverance, he eventually succeeded in paying off all his indebtedness and establishing his business on a sound financial footing.
In September, 1825, he succeeded Charles Gyles as town clerk of Newport, and soon afterwards was made probate clerk. To these offices he was annually reelected until advancing years made it necessary for him to retire to private life. In his inaugural address, Mayor Cranston spoke as follows of Mr. Howland: "Our venerable and highly esteemed City Clerk, Benjamin B. Howland, has declined this year to be a candidate for office again. Mr. Howland was elected Town Clerk in September, 1825. Since that time he has annually been reelected without opposition. In all municipal and probate matters he is, if I may use the expression, an encyclopaedia of knowledge. During the last forty years he has discharged all the varied duties of his office in the most efficient, faithful and satisfactory manner, and now retires from the office of City Clerk without an enemy, with the kind feelings of all who have ever transacted business with him, and with the thanks of the whole community."
Both branches of the City Council passed complimentary resolutions, and at the earnest solicitations of many friends, Mr. Howland filled the office of probate clerk until 1875, when his resignation was accepted. At the request of the City Council, he sat for the portrait which now adorns the mayor's office, and on November 2, 1875, the Council voted to present him with a testimonial. A gold medal was decided on, and it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The medal, which was presented at the inauguration of the city government by Dr. David King, bears on the face the arms of the city of Newport, and on the other side this inscription: "The City of Newport to Benjamin B. Howland; a testimonial of faithful public service in Newport during a period of fifty years."
For many years Mr. Howland was a deacon in the First Baptist Church of Newport. He was also active in financial circles and was secretary of the Newport Savings Bank from the time of its incorporation, 1819, until his death. In early life he was a member, first of the Old Guards, and then of the Artillery Company, and he was both the keeper of the cabinet of the Southern Department of the Rhode Island Historical Society, and recording secretary and librarian of the Newport Historical Society from the time of its organization; He was deeply interested in historical research and well versed in the history of Rhode Island. He spoke frequently before the Historical Society in Newport, and treated, among other subjects, "The Streets of Newport," "The Schools of Newport," and "King Philip of Pokanoket." Benjamin Baker Howland married Phebe C. Greene, daughter of Fones Greene. Among their children was Susan Baker Howland, who became the wife of Robert Sherman, of Newport. (See Sherman). Mr. Howland died in Newport, October 20, 1877.

On Tuesday, John Kasich, the Governor of Ohio and candidate for U.S. President, proposed a new government agency designed to promote "Judeo-Christian values" around the world. Unsurprisingly, he has received considerable opposition to this proposal. One camp of critics complains that Kasich, in expanding the size of government, is not really conservative. Others, most of whom see the creation of government agencies as not such an affront to our republic, are troubled by Kasich's apparent breach of secularism. But is governmental promotion of "Judeo-Christian values" anything new? Or is Kasich just saying the name of something that is supposed to go unnamed? Put more strongly, is Kasich violating American secularism or pulling back its curtain?
Americans, for the most part, have held to the other model: Judeo-Christian secularism. Until the middle of the twentieth century (and perhaps well after) we might call it Protestant secularism. Under this model, the state is secular—meaning that church and state are officially separated and no one denomination is officially preferred over another—but the state's values, even when referred to as "universal," are derived from (Judeo-)Christianity. We can find an example of this American secularism in Thomas Jefferson, who introduced his famous bill for "establishing religious Freedom" by stipulating that "Almighty God hath created the mind free" and that "Truth is great, and will prevail if left to herself." Hurd notes a more recent example. George W. Bush, while promoting secular democracy in Iraq, said, "liberty is both the plan of Heaven for humanity and the best hope for progress here on earth" (37). Down to the problematic assumption that "liberty" follows "democracy," Bush sounded downright Jeffersonian, truly an American Judeo-Christian secularist. Hurd deadpans, "President Bush was not a laicist." Neither is John Kasich.
"We need to beam messages around the around about what it means to have a Western ethic," Kasich said, explaining the purpose of his proposed agency. But what is a "Western ethic" anyway? Kasich clarified, "It means freedom; it means opportunity; it means respect for women; it means freedom to gather; it means so many things." It sounds like a Western ethic is simply a version of liberalism. What if he had said "universal values" instead? This language, addressing "the human" and "the universal," (which, of course, obscures its particularity) is more common among politicians and world leaders. Now, whether, how, and to what extent modern human rights is really based in Christianity are good questions worthy of good discussion. But there are at least some reasons to argue genealogically that Kasich's conflation of Western with Judeo-Christian, especially in terms of individual rights, is not off-base.
President Obama, remarking on the attacks in Paris last weekend, said, "This is an attack not just on Paris, it's an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share." This attack can be blamed only on "terrorism and extremism," which are opposed to "the timeless values of human progress" represented by Paris itself. Vice President Biden put an even finer point on this boundary-drawing, arguing that France and the United States "are bound by timeless democratic values that the cowardice and perverse ideologues of extremist networks can never match, wherever they are. Such savagery can never threaten who we are." On one side, there are humanity, progress, timelessness, universal values, and "we all." On the other side, extremism, terrorism, savagery.
By appealing to humanity, Obama's secular rhetoric (in addition to constructing monstrous anti-humans) appears to distance itself from particularities like Western or Christian, even as his universal values are identifiably liberal. Kasich wants none of this secularization. "It's essential, by the way," he noted, "that those in the West begin to embrace again our Jewish and Christian tradition, rather than running from it, hiding from it…" NBC's Peter Alexander interrupted to ask, "What does that say to atheists and Buddhists and Muslims and all the others who live in our melting pot?" Alexander wants to know if embracing the Judeo-Christian tradition is exclusionary, insufficiently pluralistic, and thus not secular. In other words, is Kasich really a secularist? Kasich's telling response began, "I also think we have many moderate Muslims who share our views…and they should be included in this, and they'd be a very effective part of this." So, "moderate Muslims"—as opposed to "extremists"—might be "Western" and liberal, perhaps even "Judeo-Christian," too. In fact, this is what marks them as "moderate."
The State Department already has something not so different from what Kasich proposed. The Office of Religion and Global Affairs seems to beam messages about what Kasich calls a "Western ethic." The office is led by a "Special Representative," a religion expert who also happens to be a liberal Protestant theologian. The Office of Religion and Global Affairs, however, does not export Judeo-Christian values. Instead, it works with religious groups to promote "core U.S. values like respect for the human rights of members of minority and marginalized groups, pluralism, tolerance, and sensitivity to and respect for the beliefs and traditions of others."
Perhaps Kasich's plan is not an abnegation of American secularism but actually a more honest acknowledgment of how it works. At the very least, it's worth asking, Are Kasich's "Judeo-Christian values" substantively different from Obama's "universal values" and "timeless values of human progress"?

Listen to Rita Ora Cover 'No Church in the Wild' Live
Frank Ocean's shoes are pretty big for anyone to fill, but if anyone could do justice to 'No Church in the Wild,' it's Jay-Z's own protege, Rita Ora. The Albanian-born songbird performed an acoustic cover of Jay and Kanye West's hit from 'Watch the Throne,' giving it a brand new spin.
Ora's smoky voice gives the rap verses a more melodic edge, while her strong vocals are a jarring but beautiful contrast to Ocean's soft and understated choruses on Radio 1′s Live Lounge. Her pretty-yet-gritty voice takes the track from a dark one to a song with an almost romantic tone.
This isn't Ora's first cover. She previously performed a song by Jay-Z's wife Beyonce's former girl group Destiny's Child — and it was one of the first times Jigga saw her sing live. "The first time I truly saw her on stage was at the Cartier event in New York City," he recalls. "To have that sort of stage presence and that sort of energy — the music went off and she still was like — she still wanted to go. She jumped off the stage at one point and was dancing with the crowd. It was a great moment."
Listen to Ora's awesome cover below. Do you like it as much as the original? Tell us in the comments!

3rd Street Beat: peace, love, unity fun for a whole family
Saturday, May 11, 2013 06:00 am
International Children�s Festival
May 28 to June 1
Downtown St. Albert
Tickets: Children $9, adults $11. Call 780-459-1542 or purchase online at ticketmaster.ca
When 3rd Street Beat agreed to perform at the International Children�s Festival, they had no idea they�d score second place at Canada�s feistiest hip hop battle, the 2013 Montreal International Hip Hop Festival.
�We were in complete shock. We were all holding hands. There we were, six of us. We had put on a good show and we were hopeful. When they called our names we all started to cry and almost in synch dropped to our knees,� says Luke Geldert.
They immediately started jumping and screaming when they realized their second-place spot earned them a berth at the Hip Hop International world championships in Las Vegas on August 8.
�This is a big deal for the Edmonton, for the Alberta region, for Canada. We will be only one of two crews present from Canada.�
And for St. Albert, that�s doubly sweet since our own homegrown Kayla Wiberg is part of the crew.
Ironically, a section of the show 3rd Street Beat presents at the International Children�s Festival will be identical to the planned Vegas competition gig.
�The festival is a way to get a sneak peak at the piece we�re demonstrating,� Geldert adds.
Since Geldert opened up 3rd Street in 2001, he has launched numerous initiatives that ranged from kickstarting the national dance competition Artists Emerge to hosting and providing talent for an annual benefit concert Hip Hop for Hope that raised nearly $150,000 for various local charities.
And every single tour, competition, benefit concert and festival has focused on promoting the positive culture of hip hop.
The festival show incorporates all the elements of rock solid hip hop: deejaying, MC rapping, graffiti artistry and original b-boying and b-girling. Tied in with knowledge and innovation, these four elements bring out the best.
�It�s going to have a strong educational component. It�s going to explain hip hop�s history. We�re going to look at the iconic songs that changed the industry and the pioneers that moulded the dance of today.�
Yes, he acknowledges the negatives of hip hop come through with select rappers rapping about the high-risk gangsta lifestyle: bling, money and violence.
�But it�s all about what you choose to focus on. It�s all about the point of view.�
In a nutshell, the 45-minute presentation shows street dance styles from the �70s, �80s and �90s, when popping, locking and break-dancing morphed into an international phenomenon. From the earlier eras, the show swings to the present with party music and trendy dances.
Geldert�s four-man crew made up of Wiberg, Harmon Baweja and Erica Torok will deliver the eye-popping power moves that burst on the scene throughout the last century.
And he�s hired three of Edmonton�s best b-boy professionals, Matthew Wood, Jackrit Kho and James Jones (So You Think You Can Dance) to show off the newest evolutions.
�We have a blank slate and the ability to educate a crowd and showcase the moves in the purest and authentic form it was created in.�
Once again Geldert partners with Baweja to perform the Shadow Twins, a beautifully synchronized fusion of mime, animation dance and good old-fashioned comedy.
�The Shadow Twins are so notable and so fun to watch because of the animation dancing. It�s an illusion that twists perceptions. It�s almost magical,� says Geldert.
�And it�s a nice break from the powerful head spins. It gives you a chance to breathe.�
He describes the festival offering as a journey through time.
�It�s definitely an electric show. I use the word electric because when street dance started no one thought the human body could move that way. But it�s also about a positive message � about peace, love, unity and having fun for a whole family. When you see it, you will want to get on your feet and learn something about the culture.�
Recommended age is six years and over.

Unprecedented nine rivers seeking designation into the New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program
Concord, NH - The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP) received an unprecedented four nominations in 2010 seeking the designation of nine rivers, totaling over 126 miles, across the state. The nomination of the Mascoma River, the Oyster River, the Lower Exeter and Squamscott Rivers, and the currently undesignated sections of the Lamprey River with its major tributaries (the North Branch, North, Little, Pawtuckaway and Piscassic Rivers) represents a tremendous effort of local citizens coming together to demonstrate to the state the value their communities place on their rivers. Since the establishment of the RMPP in 1988 by the passage its enacting legislation (RSA 483), 16 rivers have been accepted by the state legislature for designation for their outstanding resources, values and characteristics.
Each of the nominations had unique reasons for seeking designation; all the reasons stem from a desire to protect and maintain quality of life in the state. The Mascoma River was nominated largely to protect the river's value as a drinking water source and as a recreational asset. The nomination of Oyster River was done to provide a more formal means for river-front towns to communicate with each other and with the state regarding how to protect the river in the rapidly developing Seacoast region. The nomination of the Lower Exeter and Squamscott Rivers helps to complete the goal designating the whole Exeter River, portions of which were designated in 1995, from its source to where the tidal portion meets Great Bay Estuary. The currently undesignated portions of the Lamprey River and its major tributaries were nominated together in order protect and manage the river using a watershed approach and to allow for all fourteen watershed towns to participate in protecting the area's water resources.
The most significant benefit of river designation is a collective statement by local residents and the state that a particular river is a unique and important resource deserving of protection. A river designation gives a river an extra level of state protection for significant instream river resources, particularly water quality and instream flows. Once a river is designated, a local river advisory management committee (LAC) is developed and is responsible for developing a local river corridor management plan and commenting on activities affecting the river that require state or federal permits. Each LAC is comprised of representatives from each riverfront municipality, which are nominated by the towns and appointed by the DES Commissioner. LAC members represent a wide range of interests from local government to conservation to businesses and are the only DES appointed advisors. Because the river management plan is locally developed, adopted and implemented, it reflects the specific needs, interests and concerns of local citizens.
All four nominations were recommended for designation by the Rivers Management Advisory Committee and DES Commissioner Thomas Burack this fall, largely due to the overwhelming public support for all the nominations. All four nominations will now be sent to the NH Legislature for approval and hopefully all four nominations, nine rivers and 126 miles of river will become designated in 2011.For more information about the river nominations or the Rivers Management and Protection Program please contact Steve Couture, Rivers Coordinator at (603)271-8801 or email@example.com or visit the RMPP website: des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wmb/rivers/index.htm

Jonty Rhodes to wave the South African flag in India
Jonty himself has volunteered to help us promote the destination in India given his passion for travel, adventure and South Africa. He is one of the best fielders in the history of cricket. India is a cricket-crazy nation and with Jonty's support we want to connect with Indian travellers.
- Hanneli Slabber, South African Tourism country manager, India
Jonty Rhodes is known around the world for his prowess on the cricket field. After an incredible 11 years playing in the international cricket arena, he is now the fielding coach for the Indian Premier League Team, the Mumbai Indians, and widely revered all across India. It was recently announced that Rhodes has agreed to promote South Africa in India as a brand ambassador for South African Tourism.
India is a core market for South African Tourism and Rhodes is well-loved in India, making him the perfect 'brand ambassador' to promote South Africa as a travel destination.
Hanneli Slabber, the country head of South African Tourism in India, says Rhodes will do much to raise the profile of South Africa as a choice travel destination. 'Being a part of the Mumbai Indians team, Jonty has a great fan following in India and is extremely popular and loved cricketer.'
Slabber explains that, for South African Tourism, India is now a core market to attract travellers to South Africa. The numbers say it all: almost 75 000 Indian visitors travelled to South Africa in 2011 (18 percent up on the previous year's figures).
She adds that South African Tourism couldn't ask for a better brand ambassador: 'Jonty himself has volunteered to help us promote the destination in India given his passion for travel, adventure and South Africa. He is 1 of the best fielders in the history of cricket. India is a cricket-crazy nation and with Jonty's support we want to build an engagement and connect with Indian travellers.'
Rhodes will be promoting the destination to the Indian market in various ways and via social media. Slabber says: 'Jonty will be travelling to South Africa to experience varied adventure activities, shopping, lifestyle, food in South Africa and will write down his experiences for us.'
Rhodes will be a writing a guide for Indian consumers, which should prove interesting reading. 'As the year passes, we want to work more closely with Jonty and promote the destination in India. Together, we want to highlight varied experiences that South Africa has to offer to Indian tourists,' says Slabber.

I Like My Raviola Aldente, Not Burnt!: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by Jerry of San Francisco
Overall Member Rating
I Like My Raviola Aldente, Not Burnt!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
One evening I had supper in the main dining room and ordered raviola - it came to the table with big brown burn spots on them with an overcooked sauce. I had to ask the waiter twice to take it away. The second plate of raviola had only one burnt spot with a sauce that had a dry film on top! Astonishing. I'm used to bad food on cruise ships, but this was the ultimate bad experience.
Not only was that evening bad food, but untrained service. The waiter kept putting his arm in my face to pour water. Finally, thoroughly annoyed, I stopped him and told him to move to my right side to remove an empty plate. My cabin card was surrended to pay for my wine and not returned till I asked the manager for it. The dining room manager did not seem to care about More any of my complaints.
There are two main dining rooms that are free. We soon realized that the menu was the same for both dining rooms.
We did not try the alternate dining rooms as my friend is thrifty and would not pay the surcharge, so I cannot comment on them. He enjoyed all of his meals except one in the main dining room. If you have midwest tastes like my friend you will probably be happy with the food. If you like haute cusine this is not the cruise for you.
Except for aa apple bread pudding the desserts were all without much flavor.
The cabin was small, but efficient. It took me a couple of days to get used to the confined space.
Our cabin boy did not introduce himself and we met him only on the 3rd day when we made a request for a missing item in the bathroom. Actually it was nice to not have the cabin boy at our door all the time. We liked the system that uses a dial outside the door to indicate our service needs and privacy. Less

Cabin review: IF4553 Inside
Quiet corner cabin near the elevator. The elevator was not used often so it was not as crowded as the others on the ship. Convenient to the theater. We did hear our neighbors television at times.Read All Inside (IF) Reviews >>

Roy Clark, MD
An unnecessary, hidden, and cost-increasing issue I believe that needs to be addressed in EMRs is the formatting of printed copies of records. I have 25 years experience reviewing medical records in forensic settings, averaging 4 cases weekly. Many of the commonly used programs (discussed in the article) generate printed records without including a "hard page break" which places the beginning of each and every encounter, lab or imaging report, or telephone note, etc., at the top of the hard copy page generated. Forensic review fees are usually time-dependent. The hourly rate is a 3 digit number and based on quarter-hour or tenth-hour segments. So, if one-minute more is required, the fee is increased by the totality of the final time-segment needed. Almost all reviews include several hundred pages and many, more than a thousand. The increased costs generated by having to figure out where something began on a specific date are significant. These costs are passed on to the requesting entity, but they eventually increase my professional liability and health care costs. And, they increase yours, too!.
rod lahren, MD
I agree EMR helps with the long term problem of legible handwiting. Beyond that what do we have? Consider the frequent updates for "bug" fixes. The inability for different systems to communicate. The use of precious health care dollars spent on equipment and upkeep not to mention the extra cost and lost productivity during "the learning curve" If a government mandate incentive penalty is necessary I might suggest a standardized well tested program that had been done with government funding be made available at low or no charge. Part of this process seems to be how to divert more dollars away from true health care which is the most expensive and least effective in the world. There needs to be some serious analysis beyond the bottom line..

Mike always responded quickly to any request and provided status updates leading up to the event. On the day of the event, he went above and beyond to ensure that my event was a success.

WEP's 3 Archibald Prize winning portraits.
|Mr Ray Walker - 1958
|Rabbi Dr Israel Porush - 1961
|Dr Lloyd Rees - 1968
In December 1958, Wep won his first Archibald prize after nine previous attempts. In the thirty-seven years since its inception in 1921, fourteen artists had previously been awarded this prestigious prize. Of these, six had won it more than once; William Dargie (8), W.B. McInnes (7), John Longstaff (5), Ivor Hele (5), Max Meldrum (2) and William Dobell (2). IThe prior eight years had been dominated by Dargie with three wins and Hele with five wins. The Archibald had become tiring given the dominance of a relative few artists.
Upon news of Wep's first win, Gladys Archibald, niece of J.F. Archibald, whose legacy provided for the annual prize, wrote the following letter to Wep expressing her pleasure in the news of his success.
18 Phillips St
Neutral Bay
17 Dec 1958
My dear Mr Pidgeon,
Just to congratulate you on winning this year's Archibald Prize, and to say how pleased I am the monopoly has at last been broken. I am quite sure it was never intended by my Uncle, as a steady income for an established artist, in he helped so many people during his lifetime.
I am also very glad it has passed off so peacefully even if the critics are not pleased, they seldom are anyway. I was so tired of those wordy brawls of the past, and at times wished it had never been given.
Also the journalistic connection, would I am quite sure have pleased my Uncle greatly.
Again congratulations and best wishes
from Yours sincerely,
Gladys Archibald
Wep ultimately won the prestigious prize three times and only four artists have won it more; William Dargie (8), W.B. McInnes (7), John Longstaff (5) and Ivor Hele (5), all prior to Wep's first win. Three other artists share the trifecta of wins with Wep; Sir William Dobell, Clifton Pugh and Eric Smith.

Neverwinter beta running this weekend, from the new trailer to character creation to the Cloak Tower. There's also been a lot of discussion about thigh sliders, which at first sounded like sliders made from delectable chicken thigh meat, but it turns out that wasn't the case.
Beyond Neverwinter the beta front has been largely quiet, but the long-silent Legend of Edda is back in town and will kick off a closed beta weekend starting on February 14th next week. City of Steam also offered prospective players a bit of lore on the game's most immediately visible robot, which is a meaningful distinction in that game. And Defiance is running another beta weekend if you're in the mood for some running and gunning.
As always, you can jump past the break for the full list of games in testing. If you see something that we've missed, let us know in the comments down below. Also let us know if a game has slipped into offering a full cash shop despite being in beta or if you've actually heard anything about those thigh sliders.

"What are some whole grains besides brown rice?"
Wheat berries — whole wheat kernels — are one of my favorite whole grains. After cooking, toss them with bottled vinaigrette and a variety of finely diced vegetables like red pepper, seedless cucumber, and red onion. They hold their crunch even after a few days and make a great base for a lunchtime salad; just add grilled chicken, tuna, or shrimp. Millet, quinoa, and amaranth can all be prepared by simmering in salted water or seasoned broth until tender; amaranth, which has a slight peppery flavor, can also be popped like popcorn for an alternative movie snack. Farro (sometimes called spelt) is a variety of whole wheat that has an earthy flavor and can be prepared risotto-style. Some high-end pasta manufacturers also make farro-based noodles, which have a strong wheat flavor and chewy texture; rich meat sauces provide a delicious counterpoint.

Just today, I upgraded from 7.x-1.11-beta6 to 7.x-1.11-beta8, and now, in certain browsers, my drop-down menus no longer work – you can still click the main links, but sublinks don't appear when you mouse over (or single-click in iOS). In Chrome, everything is fine. But in Safari and Firefox, nothing happens when you mouse over the menu items (or click on them on an iPad).
This isn't an issue on the demo site (and, therefore, likely isn't an issue for fresh installs), but it seems like it could be an issue for updated versions of older installs. I tried replacing all of my CSS files with those from the most recent release, but that had no effect. Do you have any advice?
If it helps, the site is anglicancathedralcalgary.ca
Comment #2linwiz CreditAttribution: linwiz commented
I am also having issues with the dropdown menus not working. They work fine on a fresh install, but not on the installation that has been in use for quite a while. I don't even know where to start looking for a solution. no responsive.css on my server. I am running latest openchurch, upgraded with drupal 7.21 core.

Hi there, well so you have figured out the issue. And the overall problem is that the menu doesn't work at all for mobile visually anyway. It's definitely a square peg in a round hole. I had to add this to keep the viewport from adding 10-20 px to the side which was annoying.
One thing I've been thinking ab adding is a dropdown navigation (bc it's relatively easy). See http://silver.he4139.vps.webenabled.net/. I am thinking since the dropdown doesn't take any space, maybe I should just place it at the top as opposed to making the user jump to the bottom. I want to try this out on dev. There are several improvements I need to make to make OpenChurch more mobile friendly and this is maybe the highest priority.
Comment #5drupalninja99 CreditAttribution: drupalninja99 commented
OK I found that you are correct the menus aren't working. I am going to fix this with some css adjustments
Comment #6drupalninja99 CreditAttribution: drupalninja99 commented

Comment #10aminzamani CreditAttribution: aminzamani commented
I have the same problem, but not on mobile devices, but on normal computer in every browser ( IE, Firefox and Chrome ). I can not see the navigation. Any ideas where the problem is? I also have accomplished the steps written here but it does not help. I have yesterday downloaded and installed opencurch 7.x-1.11-beta9. Here you can see it (http://www.jesus-is-god.de/drupal/ ). I have yesterday installed openchurch because our church would like to use it.
By the way: Before I yesterday uploaded the openchurch distribution to our server I have also tested it before locally on my machine and there it works fine without these problems of invisible menu . But as I installed it on our server the menue were not visible -;(. Maybe that helps to fix the problem knowing that it works on one system (local test env) but not on the prod system)
Thanks for you help and telling us where the problem is.
Thanks & God Bless You!!

online Poker for real money
Online Poker is played in so-called Poker rooms. A Poker room is a software that is made available by the Poker provider as a free download. Thousands of players are connected through this poker software. You can choose from a variety of Poker games, take a seat at the poker tables and play Poker against players from all around the world.
In online poker bonus, players play against each other. Unlike a casino or a betting agency, the Poker provider does not gain from a player's loss of cash. The revenues of the Poker provider are made by game fees. If you play Poker and win a pot, the Poker provider takes a small share of the pot (the rake). The Poker provider thus is keen that many players play in its room, no matter who wins or loses - that ensures a fair course of the game.
How to register in a poker room? If you have downloaded a Poker software of a Poker provider, the registration steps will already be explained to you at the first start. You just have to fill in your personal information like name, address, and specify a user name and password.
Do you have to pay money to the poker room?
Only someone who wants to play for real money needs a credit on his gambling account. If you just want to play for play money, you don't have to pay anything.
How do you play for real money?
Once a player has downloaded the Poker software and is registered, he automatically has a player account at the Poker room. He now can play for real money, if he pays money into his account. The Poker rooms provide a range of depositing options. Most players use methods where the money can be transferred in real time. This can be done via online banking with direct transfer or immediate transfer, by Paysafecard or online payment methods like Neteller or Moneybookers. In all these depositing options the money is directly credited to the account after the payment transaction.
What are the most popular Poker games?
Texas Holdem is by far the most popular Poker variant. It is regarded as the ultimate in Poker and is played as a cash game or tournament. The previous standard variant Five Card Draw has rather tended to be sidelined. With the traditional Seven Card Stud, and the particularly in the United States popular Omaha Holdem, a relative of Texas Holdem, two other Poker games in the online Poker community have many supporters.
What are freeroll tournaments? The ideal introduction for beginners into the world of Poker tournaments. Freerolls are free tournaments, which are able to attract the best players. Nearly all Poker rooms offer freeroll tournaments to awake new players' appetite for Poker. You don't have to pay neither tournament bet nor tournament fee and the prize money is sponsored entirely by the Poker room.
What is a first depositor bonus?
As an incentive to play for real money, poker rooms increase the sum of the first deposit of newly registered players. A 100% first depositor bonus means that the Poker room doubles the deposit amount of the player. Most of the gift must first be unlocked, which means that the player receives the full amount of the bonus only if he has completed a certain number of Poker games.

Lamb said: "It was a great display and we have to keep this momentum going into the next few weeks.
"The lads did themselves justice in the first-half with a fantastic performance from everyone across the park. In the second-half we just couldn't get much of a foothold in the game.
"But we dug deep to get a bonus point and it was anyone's game in those final five minutes but unfortunately we couldn't quite get that score."
The match saw Lamb make his first start for the club after joining from Leicester Tigers last month.
He admitted: "I felt a bit rusty but it was great to be out there again and to try and gel with my new teammates.
"Hopefully now I can get some more minutes under my belt and we can put in another good performance next time out."
Warriors take on London Wasps on Friday 21 March at Sixways and Lamb believes his side will upbeat going into the clash.
He continues: "I think it's about building confidence. I wasn't too sure what to expect when I came here but the lads are very positive and it is a very upbeat group.
"We can take a lot of positives from the Quins game and now the lads have a week off so we will replenish and come back fighting against Wasps."

We gave it a C
This is a movie based on a Disney theme park attraction. This is a movie in which people in animatronic bear suits pretend to be real talking bears who were once members of a famous country music band and are now just aging, working-stiff bears. Then a preteen bear (voiced by Haley Joel Osment) who's sad because he doesn't resemble the rest of his adopted non-bear family reunites the band through a combination of flattery and nagging. It's sort of an ursine "The Last Waltz," with more costumes and no direction from Martin Scorsese.
The whole talking-animal thing is grisly in The Country Bears, but there are some diversions. Christopher Walken delivers a singular, non-Method performance as a mean (non-bear) bank manager who performs an armpit-fart version of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. And non-bear musicians including Elton John and Queen Latifah make cameo appearances.

Editors try to keep the momentum up here, by repackaging a few B-sides and a track off the two-disc British limited edition version of their debut into an EP of Rarities (though the concept may sit a little oddly considering the band's only been around for one album, a product of tracks leaked on blogs here and there). The disc's a for-fans-only affair, offering little in the way of creative insight or undiscovered gems. "Heads In Bags" has the Editors' trademark guitar-jangle, upbeat drum accompaniment, but it's a kind of paint-by-numbers song, relying on the atmosphere and timbre of Tom Smith's voice and the driving rhythms of the guitars and drums rather than any innately interesting melodic or harmonic tropes. It's consistent across four of the five tracks: "You Are Fading" turns U2 arpeggios into Editors thick-textured sound but misses that group's soaring triumph; "Colours" misses the point on its chorus, a repetition of melodic fragment that seems only half-formed. But the obligatory remix of the hit single—here it's the cicada remix of "Munich"—is actually quite successful, turning the surging original into a deep house crowd-pleaser, slow-enunciated vocals overlying a hyperactive synth riff. It's a minor uptick though: if this is a sign of things to come, get ready for the sophomore slump.

The rapper is aiming a presidency in 2018, replacing Obama who he thinks inherits a horrible time in American history.
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is harboring serious political ambitions - the rapper wants to run for the White House in 2018. The "Big Pimpin'" hitmaker was a vocal supporter of current U.S. President Barack Obama during the 2008 election campaign, and continues to back the American leader despite a series of humiliating results at the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 2.
And Jay-Z admits he would like to have a go at running the country himself. He tells BBC Newsbeat, "In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit. He (Obama) inherited the worst economy, war, just a horrible time in American history... Give me a chance. Maybe in eight years, I'll be the president."
There was a rumor that the Obama Administration will enlist Jay-Z for guidance in the 2012 presidential campaign. Deputy White House Press Secretary William Burton recently joked with the New York Post, "I can't believe you've finally heard the chatter about [Jay] replacing Larry Summers. In all seriousness, keep in mind he was pretty active during the 2008 election, so I don't think it'd surprise anyone that [Jay] would be involved again. But it's a little premature."

DTEG, Inc. & Rivers At Rehoboth to Present SON OF A PREACHER MAN this Week
Denman Turner Entertainment Group (DTEG, Inc.) and Rivers at Rehoboth are excited to present Son of a Preacher Man, written by Vascola Stoney with one performance, Friday, August 1st, on the Upper West Side.
Adapted by Kellie Turner, she described the essence of the work. "The story deals with stigma itself, and it sheds light on the mindset of a tortured soul and how family, and society, can be cruel and leading to deadly consequences," she said.
Son of a Preacher Man explores what happens as a father's disappointment leads down the road of shame--- when his eldest son doesn't quite follow the path he has laid out for him. Barnes Jr. (Duane Burress, Jr.), a preacher's son from a generation of preachers, struggles with living up to his father's expectations after making choices which vary too greatly. He is ultimately forced to choose between the callings placed on his life, or to follow his own heart--- alienating his father and maybe even God.
When asked about the creative process through every stage of development, Dominique Denman replied, "I like that every piece written for the stage gives way to creativity between producers, directors and actors, and that the audience is privy to the picture captured once these components splash the bare stage with a rainbow of colors."
Duane Burress, Jr. leads the cast, and spoke of his journey into the role. "I have never played a character that demanded so much emotion, so many objectives and various tactics. Seeing it all come to life is incredible."
The drama is directed by Mrs. Denman, with an adaption by Denman and Mrs. Turner, and is inspired by the tumultuous life of Andre Brown. Denman directed the premiere production of Son of a Preacher Man for the And Company Theater in Philadelphia, PA and the New York premiere at The Riverside Theater in 2012. Denman is one of the Executive Producers for the new musical Stormy which is in development for Broadway. Marcus Dargan, assistant-directs.
Mr. Dargan spoke of Burress, Jr's contributions to the interpretation. "It is fun watching him as an actor, making discoveries and transforming into a character I think is so far from his own nature and personal experiences. He has brought a wonderfully exciting energy and truthful presence to the role."
Nefertiti Warren reprises her role as Allison for the upcoming production. "Being in the production two years ago, it's interesting to see the dynamic that this ensemble brings to the performance."
The play features Duane Burress, and the cast includes: Angelique Chapman, Geraldine Flood, Leroy Graham, La Trina Rice, Douglas Sanders, Tasha Michelle, Miriam Tabb, Nefertiti Warren and Deon Williams (Cast).
There will be a single performance on Friday, August 1, 2014, 7:30 PM at The Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew, located at 263 W 86th St (Broadway and West End Aves.), New York, NY 10024. General admission is $25 ,(Includes Post-Show Reception). Tickets may be purchased at the door, or in advance via SmartTix, by calling 347.855.7281, or online, at http://goo.gl/ejXLmI.

In what must be an effort to remind the public she has a show on a network most people don't know exists, HLN's Joy Behar (and guests) continue their hackneyed on-air hate fest against Sarah Palin, characterizing the former Alaska governor as a "dumb" woman who parades her disabled child "around more than a joint at a Grateful Dead concert." After all, continually bashing a popular public figure with cliché jokes will make an irrelevant show, a little more relevant, right?
On last night's "Joy Behar Show," Behar and her panel - liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller and Huffington Post editor Roy Sekoff - discussed Palin's debut as a Fox News contributor. It didn't take long before the trio started to participate in the latest liberal pastime: Palin-bashing.
Sekoff is quick to pull out the personal insults, saying Palin doesn't need to "dumb" herself down for the FOX News audience because she's dumb to begin with. Sekoff then claims Palin will do fine as a contributor, so long as her teleprompter behaves (emphasis mine; transcripts via CNN.com):
SARAH PALIN, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: An obvious disconnect between President Obama and the White House, what they are doing to our economy and what they are doing in terms of not allowing Americans to feel as safe as we had felt and people finally saying, you know, this is not the representative form of government that we thought that we had voted in.
JOY BEHAR: That was Sarah Palin debuting on Fox News last night. Of course, her first order of business was to bash Obama and the White House.
My panel is back with me to talk a little Palin. You know she says there`s a disconnect between the White House and Obama. Doesn`t he live -- isn`t he -- isn`t that one thought? I don`t get that.
STEPHANIE MILLER: I don`t understand the word salad. They have like translation in the Chiron because -- does it make your eye do this whenever she talks on TV? Does it just make you go like that because it doesn`t really...
ROY SEKOFF: Do you remember like a couple weeks ago Jon Stewart did a bit where he talked about how the Fox host had to dumb themselves down for the audience. Sarah doesn`t have that problem.
MILLER: She`s perfect.
SEKOFF: She fits right in.
BEHAR: Oh boy.
SEKOFF: She doesn`t have to go through that, yes.
BEHAR: Do you think she`s going to be a hit?
SEKOFF: I do. If you remember, when she graduated from the six colleges that she attended, she became a sports caster or a news reader as they say. So this is perfect for her. As long as the teleprompter doesn`t break, she`s going to be great.
Sekoff is apparently amused by Palin's collegiate career, as he has made a similar joke on a different "Joy Behar Show" appearance, but what is most ironic is Sekoff doesn't quite like it when Republicans criticize President Barack Obama.
When some GOPers were critical of President Obama's back-to-school speech in September 2009, Sekoff asked conservatives "Have you no shame?" To Sekoff, it's shameful to reasonably question the President's speech to school children, but it's just fine to call Sarah Palin dumb.
The panel went on to discuss the cover of In Touch magazine, which features Palin and her daughter Bristol. In the picture, both Palins are holding on to their children, with the quote "We're Glad We Chose Life" under them.
Of course, whenever Palin's son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome, is mentioned, Behar goes into overdrive, barely able to contain her crass jokes. In the past, Behar has entertained questions as to whether or not Trig is actually Sarah Palin's son. Now, she accuses Palin of parading the boy out in front of crowds, comparing him to a "joint" being passed around at a Grateful Dead concert (emphasis mine):
BEHAR: Ok. I want you both to take a look at this "In Touch" cover of Sarah and Bristol Palin with their kids. It says, "We`re glad we chose life." Any thoughts on that cover?
SEKOFF: well, from my understanding that they got paid six figures to do this story.
BEHAR: Well, that`s choosing life.
SEKOFF: So you`re choosing life.
MILLER: That`s choosing a really good life.
SEKOFF: But here`s the funny thing. Last week, I don`t know if you read this in the paper, Bristol Palin is launching her own PR company.
BEHAR: Is that so?
SEKOFF: As a 19-year-old...
BEHAR: Good for her.
SEKOFF: And I think she`s doing a good job. She`s on the cover of "In Touch", right? So maybe she will see a future for her.
BEHAR: That baby, they passed that baby around more than a joint at a Grateful Dead concert. Is she going to bring that baby on the set of Fox?
SEKOFF: Oh, her baby.
BEHAR: Yes. Any of the babies, their schlepping those babies around like crazy.
MILLER: My favorite moment of the campaign that really didn`t get a lot of publicity, Joy, was she was speaking at a rally in Florida, she is the whole family values candidate and whatever. And she was introduced, the whole family and she goes oh, and Trig, where`s Trig? Oh, well, anyway -- and then she just went on with her speech. Like she didn`t even know where the baby is.
BEHAR: I know. It`s just really going to be interesting to watch her on Fox. I love it for my show.
Full transcript of show can be found here here.

Student Forums
The Choices Program has been sponsoring student forums on international public policy issues for more than 15 years. These forums usually engage students from multiple schools and involve preparation within the social studies classroom prior to the forum.
Students who participate in these forums report that they provide a valuable opportunity to talk about substantive issues with peers who have different life experiences and different views. Teachers report that the magic that happens when students with diverse backgrounds and experiences engage with one another in a forum on immigration or economics or war is palpable.
Capitol Forum on America's Future
Launched in 1998, the Capitol Forum is an experiential civic education initiative that is run on a statewide basis in participating states. The Capitol Forum seeks to raise awareness on critical international issues and to help develop a foundation for longterm civic engagement. The program is organized in each participating state by a lead organization with an interest in international education and youth civic engagement.
Local and Regional Forums
Local models allow for any content topics that fit the curriculum and inform the ultimate question of the role of the United States in the world.
Organizing Resources
The Capitol Forum is endorsed by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), and the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS).
