- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can use a sauce-pan set on low. Just watch that it doesn't boil. 195° is the optimal temperature.
- Feel free to modify the ingredients as you like. This is not a rigid recipe.
- You can omit the sugar in the cooking stage and add it in the mugs.
- Cinnamon sticks work well. Add 2 whole, unbroken sticks to the pot, then one each to the mugs.
- Stir occasionally. Sometimes the cinnamon will burn if it clumps in the bottom.
Things You'll Need
- 2-quart Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot, or Saucepan
- 6 mugs

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:WWE) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-06-30.
World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. has a market cap of $1.1 billion; its shares were traded at around $15.03 with a P/E ratio of 22.1 and P/S ratio of 2.3. The dividend yield of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. stocks is 9.6%. World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 2.6% over the past 10 years.WWE is in the portfolios of Jim Simons of Renaissance Technologies LLC, Chuck Royce of Royce& Associates, John Buckingham of Al Frank Asset Management, Inc., Ron Baron of Baron Funds, John Keeley of Keeley Fund Management, Steven Cohen of SAC Capital Advisors.
Highlight of Business Operations:Our comparative results were significantly impacted by the timing of our annual WrestleMania pay-per-view event. WrestleMania XXVI occurred in the first quarter of 2010. In 2009, WrestleMania XXV occurred in the second quarter. WrestleMania XXV contributed approximately $32.2 million of revenues and $15.0 million of profit contribution ($9.7 million, net of tax) to our prior year quarter results.
Live events revenues decreased primarily due the impact of our annual WrestleMania event, which occurred in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter in 2009. Average attendance at our North American events was approximately 5,800 in the current quarter as compared to 8,200 in the prior year quarter. The average ticket price for North American events was $39.50 in the current quarter as compared to $46.25 in the prior year. In the prior year quarter, the WrestleMania event contributed approximately $8.4 million to live event revenue. Excluding the impact of WrestleMania, North American average attendance and ticket price was 7,200 and $34.47, respectively, in the prior year quarter. The profit contribution margin for live events decreased from 35% to 24% in the current quarter, reflecting the costs associated with the Icelandic volcano as well as the absence of WrestleMania.
Pay-per-view revenues decreased $25.2 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to the impact of WrestleMania XXV. WrestleMania XXV generated approximately one million pay-per-view buys in the prior year quarter, or approximately $21.0 million in related revenues. As we eliminated one pay-per-view event and experienced the timing difference of WrestleMania, there were three pay-per-view events in the current quarter as compared to five events in the prior year quarter. Pay-per-view profit contribution margin increased from 57% to 62% in the current quarter, reflecting the absence of advertising and production costs related to WrestleMania in the current quarter.

[MLS] On Wednesday, Philadelphia Union coach Peter Nowak discussed why defender Michael Orozco Fiscal is no longer a member of
the team. Sort of.
Of the many changes made by Philadelphia since it finished 8-15-7 and allowed 49 goals (tied for second-most in MLS) as an expansion team, the addition of striker Carlos Ruiz and jettisoning of Orozco Fiscal are among the most significant. During a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Nowak talked about Orozco Fiscal without providing too much background.
"Michael Orozco Fiscal was on a one-year loan with an option to buy," said Nowak from Crete, where the Union is training until March 10. "We didn't exercise the option on his contract, so basically since January 1st he is property of his former club, not the property of Philadelphia Union or Major League Soccer."
The situation would have been as cut-and-dried as Nowak outlines it had not Orozco Fiscal brought up the subject of his status during the offseason and trained with the team during preseason. He came to MLS last year on loan from Mexican club San Luis and played 29 matches, and likely would have been shifted to outside back or battled for playing time in the middle with Califf and Carlos Valdes, who was acquired in January.
"Since January 1st, Michael Orozco Fiscal is property of his former club, which is San Luis in Mexico," said Nowak. "That's the whole explanation."
Left unanswered were questions regarding why assistant coach John Hackworth said at the start of preseason only a few details needed to be addressed to retain the defender's rights.
Apparently, those discussions/negotiations came apart at some point. A week ago, the team released defender Christian Arrieta, who has since traveled to Arizona for a one-week trial with FC Dallas, and in mid-February it cut loose Eduardo Coudet. The league roster-compliance date of March 1 (Tuesday) also played a role, though Philly has just five defenders: Valdes, Califf, Jordan Harvey, Sheanon Williams and Juan Diego Gonzalez Alzate.
"If you know from the beginning that it was a one-year loan, end of story," said Nowak, who thus ended the situation without actually explaining it. "He's back in Mexico and the stuff is already done. For me and for our staff, it's a very simple situation and we need to move forward with that."
Nowak has been auditioning players throughout preseason and will look at a few more during the camp in Crete.
Philly started its run of games by tying Greek first division club Ergotelis, 1-1, Monday with a goal by Ruiz, and beat Hersonissos FC of the third division, 5-0, Wednesday. Chris Agorsor and Jack McInerney each scored twice and Danny Mwanga added the fifth goal.
The ones who should be "moving on" are
Nowak and his crony Nick Sakiewicz. As long as these two are running the franchise, The Union may win some games but they will never do so with class.

Committee Opinion Number 723, October 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 656, February 2016)
ABSTRACT: Imaging studies are important adjuncts in the diagnostic evaluation of acute and chronic conditions. However, confusion about the safety of these modalities for pregnant and lactating women and their infants often results in unnecessary avoidance of useful diagnostic tests or the unnecessary interruption of breastfeeding. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are not associated with risk and are the imaging techniques of choice for the pregnant patient, but they should be used prudently and only when use is expected to answer a relevant clinical question or otherwise provid...

ABSTRACT: Noninvasive prenatal screening that uses cell-free DNA from the plasma of pregnant women offers tremendous potential as a screening method for fetal aneuploidy. A number of laboratories have validated different techniques for the use of cell-free DNA as a screening test for fetal aneuploidy. All tests have a high sensitivity and specificity for trisomy 18 and trisomy 21, regardless of which molecular technique is used.

Genome data called into question
By BBC News Online's Ivan Noble
A new study says that there may have been serious discrepancies in the way the US company Celera Genomics sequenced and interpreted the genome of the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster.
Decoding a genome and then working out what the sequence means is a very complex task and at present it is impossible to work entirely without errors.
A team of biological information specialists at Stanford University in California, US, compared existing data on over 1,000 fruit fly proteins with protein structures predicted by Celera using their genome data.
They found that around a quarter of predictions exactly matched the existing samples and roughly another quarter was at least 99% in agreement.
'A bit rushed'
The leader of the Stanford team, Samuel Karlin, told Reuters news agency that he believed that over half of Celera's predictions disagreed with previously known information.
Celera dismisses the study. "It is not a scientific paper and the Drosophila researchers who have continued the annotation do not agree with [the] interpretation of this brief commentary," Celera's Heather Kowalski told BBC News Online, referring to the fact that the Stanford team's article in the journal Nature was a brief communication rather than a full paper.
The researchers to whom she refers include Gerry Rubin of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Berkeley.
Taken as a compliment
He was co-author on Celera head Craig Venter's paper on the fruit fly genome that was published in the journal Science in March 2000. Dr Rubin told New Scientist magazine that the reported 50% success rate was a compliment rather than a criticism.
Biologists often use Drosophila as a model organism to try out theories or techniques before applying them to more complex animals, such as humans.
There was, therefore, great interest when Celera published the Drosophila genome last year.
Annotation process
Scientists began examining the sequence and comparing it with what they already knew about the fruit fly's genes.
By itself, a genome sequence is nothing but a long series of letters describing the order of an organism's DNA.
For human beings, this sequence is around three billion letters long, and for Drosophila, it is around 1.8 billion.
A genome sequence becomes more interesting when it is broken down into individual genes.
Computer assistance
Part of this annotation process involved Celera using powerful computers to predict which bits of Drosophila's genome corresponded to which genes.
The task is all the more difficult because each single gene is usually split up across the genome, and much of the genome is apparently redundant.
It is a bit like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle when the pieces have been torn up and mixed together with pieces of other puzzles.
Once scientists have an idea of where the genes are located, they can predict which proteins these genes are there to produce.
Plea for caution
Stanford's Samuel Karlin and his colleagues say that the uncertainties they highlighted are an indication that researchers should deal cautiously with Celera's data.
"Proteomic studies using the present Drosophila genome sequence have significant limitations and the same will be true of the human genome," they write.
They recommend that researchers using Celera's predictions attempt to replicate Celera's findings and confirm them by experiment.
Whatever the merits of either side's case, the row makes it clear that turning the blueprint of life into applicable knowledge remains a tough and controversial process.

Veterinarians Larry R. Bramlage, Edward H. Fallon, and A. Gary Lavin have been selected by the board of directors of the Thoroughbred Club of America as Honored Guests. The three will be honored by the organization at its 83rd testimonial dinner at Keeneland Sept. 28.
"These distinguished honorees are legends in equine veterinary medicine," TCA president Happy Broadbent said in a release. "Through their respective accomplishments as a surgeon, reproductive specialist, and racetrack veterinarian, these three pioneers have all improved the welfare of the Thoroughbred.
"Particularly in a year when the world has focused on how Thoroughbreds are treated, we look forward to honoring these three remarkable men and telling the story of the best in veterinary care."
Bramlage has distinguished himself as a teacher, researcher, and leader within his profession but is best known as an orthopedic surgeon. Among his best known cases was repairing Personal Ensign's fracture, which had appeared to be career-ending. After surgery, Personal Ensign returned to continue her unbeaten career, culminating in a dramatic victory in the Breeders' Cup Distaff (gr. I).
A native of Kansas, Bramlage graduated from Kansas State University and taught at Ohio State University before joining Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in 1989. He became a partner at Rood & Riddle in 1992.
Fallon represents the fourth generation of a family of veterinarians whose connection to Kentucky dates from 1875, when a Scottish-educated veterinarian named Edward Thomas Hagyard was called to Kentucky to consult on a valuable Shorthorn bull. An equine practice grew from that visit.
Third-generation Charles Edward Hagyard was joined in the practice in 1940 by Arthur Davidson and William McGee, which completed the team that for decades was known as Hagyard-Davidson-McGee (now Hagyard Equine Medical Institute).
Fallon is the son of Charles Hagyard's sister. He graduated from Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine in 1956, and his son, Luke Hagyard Fallon, a fifth generation equine veterinarian, graduated from Cornell in 1996.
In taking his turn of stewardship of the firm, Fallon was instrumental in bringing about an era of increased efficiency in broodmare management, utilizing and promoting such scientific developments as ovarian palpation to determine pregnancy in mares and use of artificial lighting to stimulate estrous cycles.
Lavin is the son of well-known racing secretary Allan Lavin and grew up in the sport. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's veterinary college in 1962 and for many years was a racetrack practitioner and surgeon.
Lavin has been honored with his alma mater's Bellwether Medal for Distinguished Leadership, is a Distinguished Life Member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, and has designation as a Distinguished Practitioner of the Kentucky Association of Equine Practitioners.
As an indication of the respect he has earned within his profession, the AAEP established the Lavin Cup for Equine Welfare in 1996.
Lavin has served as president of the AAEP and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, steward of The Jockey Club, trustee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association and Breeders' Cup, and currently as director of Keeneland and as vice chairman of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.
Lavin and his family operate Longfield Farm in Goshen, Ky. Lavin's wife, Betsy, is a member of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, and their sons are involved in bloodstock agency and equine insurance.

How to get a vary dark blue
I'm Wanting to reblue a couple guns. I'm looking for a vary dark or even black, bluing. Ive heard of bluing and then doing something with Brownells Oxynate NO.7? Not to sure what that's about or how to do it. Maybe someone else does.

Just call or email the Brownell's Tech Staff and ask them.
Usually, you get a black finish by bead blasting the metal first, but this is a flat black, no gloss finish.
Some brands of bluing chemicals do give a more black color. Brownell's will know.

There are some guys in Crete, Illinois that do some great blueing. They do it the old way, slowly. Classic Guns is run by a guy named John. They do outsoursing for U.S. Arms. I would call there. I think they have a website.
I do not work there for the record.

Brownells is sure a good place to ask.
Most new blued guns,and the process most gunsmiths use,is a hot caustic salts bath.
The salts,tanks,burners,etc are quite an investment to do a couple of guns.
It also may take more than a couple of guns worth of learning curve to get the results you want.
There are some processes that only require a boiling water tank.Likely a 3 burner blind stove will work.The iron tank from Brownells is good.
The part5s are boiling,you lift the parts out,swab them with solution,return to the boil.A coat of fine rust develops.A soft stainless brush is used to card off the rust.
Brownells makes a product for this process to produce a blued finish.I used a Mark Lee muzzle loader browning solution.the results were very good.My finish is tough,looks like very black coffee.It looks like a deep,rich blue job,but instead of a blue-black,it is a brown black.
Good process for levers,single shots,etc.

The hot bluing method does take special equipment and is hazardous as the molten salts are caustic and are heated far hotter than boiling water. You also have to invest in and learn to use buffing equipment properly to get a deep blue-black glossy result. It is probably the most durable kind of blue, but it's easy to get a couple thousand dollars tied up in all the tanks and burners plus the gas plumbing and etcetera. Fine for a small business, but for the individual that is a bit daunting.
It can be done for a lot less if you can weld your own tanks up and want to spend some time salvaging old furnace burners and the like. You can also heat the salts electrically, if you don't mind the greater cost per BTU, but you'll still have $400 tied up in the first purchase of minimum quantities of the chemicals and degreasers and cleaners and polishing compounds.
The rust blue method is much more appealing to the home user, but the result is a blue with a slightly satin sheen rather than gloss. It is the standard for custom shotguns. The old H&R revolvers had a similar color blue. It is far more even and durable than cold blues, which are difficult to get good whole-gun results with, but not as durable as the hot salt blues. The black blues from hot salts are achieved by adding nickel compounds and other constituents not present in the ferric-ferrous oxide blue. I know of no way to add those in by rust bluing.
There are several approaches to rust bluing these days. The old fashioned method is to build a steam cabinet as described in Howe, which you can read free here (Vol.1 and Vol.2). You remove the old blue (Iosso has a good stripping solution for this), do any buffing or polishing of scratches you intend to, then degrease the metal. Put the parts to be blued in the steam box together with a watch glass that has a few drops of nitric acid in it, then run the boiler to drive steam in and surface rust it over a period of hours. After the rust forms you remove the work piece and boil it water. Distilled is best to avoid leaving water marks. After about 15 minutes of boiling the red surface rust has turned black. You then card it, which means rubbing off any loose and poorly adhered particles of the blackened rust. This is usually done by using a soft fine stainless wire wheel on a buffer, but degreased steel wool may be used to rub it off by hand.
What you get at that point is a kind of salt and pepper look, as the blue has not adhered everywhere. So, you repeat the process. The well-adhered blue does not re-rust, so only the exposed steel repeats. After about half a dozen such treatments you get a pretty dark and good blue.
In place of the steam box, you can use the Pilkington Blue solution sold by Brownells to get the surface rust to form in air. That takes overnight for each pass through the process. I understand the Mark Lee solution works a little differently and is faster. I haven't tried it, but have used the Pilkington solution a number of times and, though expensive at $30 a bottle, I can say that it works well.
You'll find you will do best if you can remove a barrel from its receiver before bluing to avoid water or chemicals working their way into and starting corrosion in the threads. A lot of places just throw guns into a finishing tank without doing that, but you also see corrosion showing up later in many of them. If you don't take that precaution, then you want to submerge the receiver end in water displacing oil for several days. I've heard WD-40 is the cheap way to go for this, but it leaves such a sticky rust inhibiting surface when it dries, so I've avoided it in favor of the type Brownells sells. If you do use WD-40, you will probably want to wipe it all off with mineral spirits and apply a gun oil.

If you should use the boiling water rust process I described,plug the bore and chamber.
While I do not claim it is the best sealer,I mixed a mush of turpentine and beeswax and rubbed it in hot .Seems to have worked.
As I said,I work right over the boiling water,boil,swab,card,boil,swab,card,till its done.I can do one in an afternoon.
I have a .40 cal take off bbl made by Ron Snover and the finish on his bbl looks just like what I do.I use the Express Brown #2.
I would recomend this for the pro smith to experiment with.It looks right on old guns,it would work on doubles.It does not look like a make-do job.
It is not,however,a perfect match for modern scopes,etc.

From Brownells' instructions for Diropan IM:
"3) MAKE A CAREFULLY FITTED, LONG WOODEN PLUG - to fit one
end of the barrel, or design some other type of holding mechanism that
is just as effective to avoid touching the barrels during the bluing operation.
We use two plugs on double barrels with one plug in each barrel,
at opposite ends, so neither barrel is plugged at both ends.We also use
a soft, black iron wire loop through parts and barrels so we can hang
them easily in the tanks." [emphasis added]

I've refinished several guns with a black oxide finish. It comes out black rather than dark blue. I used my own mix using Ammonium Nitrate from the local feed and seed. If your gun is polished, white metal and clean you'll get a deep black glossy finish. The process is fast and easy.
Blueing takes a lot more steps and can be tricky.

Okay, so I admit it - I'm totally into designer purses - however, there is a limit to how much I will spend on a bag! (And truth be told - I usually receive them as presents so it's not even really my money that is being spent on them!) Check out the new Louis Vuitton purse:
I wonder who would buy this? It's not even that nice! AND it costs $42,000! That is an insane amount of money for a purse! OMG! $42,000? Wow. It is called the Tribute Patchwork Bag because it is made up of actual pieces of old bags - the different styles LV has done throughout the years. Who cares! If anything, a patchwork purse should be cheaper!(There are only 2 circulating right now). Kimora Lee Simmons has, reportedly, the largest LV collection in the world - do you think she has 1 of them? Anyway... anything over a thousand dollars is something I just won't think about. Although... I do want a Chanel bag and I think those start upwards of 2 thousand dollars. Sniff.
This is me with my purses from an article I had written for CRA's magazine on my 'collection' of purses. (Because I normally don't take random pictures of me with purses!)
Notice the bottle of milk in the front - my purses are mere necessities now, to carry around my son's diapers and bottles and wipes. ;) So I have nothing to be ashamed about!

Good afternoon,
Just want to say "thanks" to Clem and all the developers of XFCE LMDE!
I've recently converted a pair of PC's from Gnome to XFCE. XFCE has been great as it runs very fast and is similar in GUI customization to Gnome 2. It's a great alternative to Unity, especially for older folks who prefer a bit more simplicity and straightforward approach.
Update pack 3 directions and install went perfect on both machines, and in accordance with the directions.
I think that Update Packs are a really great idea, as they allow the updates a "testing period" prior to a release.
Keep up the good work!
XFCE LMDE is fantastic!

Re: XFCE LMDE is fantastic!
I agree that LMDE Xfce is good news, providing a welcome escape from an all-Gnome desktop. However, after switching, it has taken me several weeks of patient tweaking to get my installation exactly the way I want it, and for my liking it still incorporates too many unremovable Gnome-based packages.

Have you been thinking about writing an article about law librarianship? Or are you already writing an article and just need a little incentive to finish? If yes, read on!
The AALL/LEXIS Publishing Call for Papers Committee eagerly solicits your articles for its annual competition. The objectives of the contest are threefold:
Up to three winning authors will each receive a prize of $750, generously donated by LEXIS Publishing. The winners will be recognized during award ceremonies at the Association Luncheon of the AALL Annual Meeting. Winners also will present their papers in a program at the Annual Meeting and the papers will be considered for publication in Law Library Journal.
The papers may address any subject relevant to law librarianship. The papers may be scholarly or practical in substance and tone; the subject should be explored in depth with appropriate reference to sources and documentation. Past winners have written about a wide range of topics, including foreign law, technology, research instruction and reference services, legal history and bibliography, copyright, and trends in law librarianship.
Authors may enter in one of three divisions:

Language development really takes off during this time, especially as your little one approaches the second birthday.
Kids this age are better able to comprehend what is said to them and express what they want through words and gestures. They take joy in their ability to understand directions — and won't hesitate to give directions of their own.
Most kids say their first words around the time of their first birthday. A toddler who is preoccupied with learning to walk may push talking to the back burner; it's not unusual and is nothing to be alarmed about.
Kids this age might have learned fragments of dozens of words that may not be recognizable. They may echo what they hear or mix a few words with jargon (babbling with sentence-like intonations).When they get around to talking, though, they'll probably progress quickly and soon be able to point at something familiar and say its name, and recognize names of familiar people, objects, and body parts.
By 2 years old, most toddlers will say 50 words or more, use phrases, and be able to put together two- to three-word sentences.
No matter when they say their first words, it's a sure bet they are already understanding much of what is said to them before that. Your child should be able to respond to simple commands ("Roll the ball to Mommy") and should be fully aware of the names of familiar objects and family members.
Your little one is listening to everything you say and storing it away at an incredible rate. Instead of using "baby" words, use the correct names for people, places, and things. Speak slowly and clearly, and keep it simple.
Your 1-year-old might still be communicating with gestures such as pointing at pictures or at something he or she wants. Gestures will get more elaborate over this year as toddlers use them to imitate actions, express themselves, and play.
Gestures are an important part of language development. Make the connection between gestures and language by using a running commentary such as, "Do you want a drink?" (when your child points to the refrigerator), then wait for a response. Then say, "What do you want? Milk? OK, let's get some milk." Such behavior encourages kids to respond and participate in conversations.
Your child will probably enjoy gesture games, like pat-a-cake and so-big, and identifying things, such as body parts, pictures, or objects, and familiar people: "Where's your ear?", "Show me the ball" and "Where is Mommy?"
Your child's vocabulary will grow quickly, but pronunciation isn't likely to keep pace. By 2 years of age, most kids are understandable only about half the time. But emphasize the correct pronunciations in your responses.
Most children meet these language milestones during this period:
Don't hesitate to report any concerns you have to your doctor, especially if you feel your child is not talking or you have concerns about hearing.
Some parents worry that a toddler who is not speaking may have autism. Children with autism and related conditions may have delayed speech or other problems with communication, but poor social interactions and limited or restricted interests or patterns of behavior are also hallmarks of the disorder.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child's development, talk with your doctor.

Winter makes a splash in Bemidji; balmy weather brings out crowds for Polar Daze
Subzero weather is the norm for Brrrrmidji Polar Daze, but a January thaw Saturday was a welcome change to many attending the annual winter festival.
"Much better than last year," said Lisa Hofstad of the Bemidji State University Foundation. She was volunteering Saturday at the Beaver Pride Hardwater Classic fishing tournament on Lake Bemidji. "Last year we had 25 below and wind, so we're about 50 degrees warmer."
She said about 250 anglers tried their luck in the Hardwater Classic.
"Some are fishing more than one hole, so (there are) probably about 300 holes," Hofstad said.
However, the warmer weather meant sloppy conditions on the ice. The weight of the spectators around the hole at the Bemidji Jaycees Polar Plunge caused the ice to sag and ankle-deep water to flow freely.
"I'm watching it running like a river by my feet," said Russ Erle.
Suzi Takle, Special Olympian, took Saturday's first Polar Plunge, which is a fundraiser for Special Olympics. She was followed by more than 120 people who made their donations to jump in the frigid water where they were helped back up onto the ice by Greg Moen and Brandon Schmickle, divers in dry suits from the Dive Depot.
The youngest to take the Polar Plunge were brothers, 9-year-old Jacob and 11-year-old Jeremy Beberg, jumping for the Devotion Paintball team.
"They're crazy," said their father, Bob Beberg.
One of the later registrants, Alexis Allen said jumping in a hole cut in the ice "sounded like fun."
"As her mother, I'm not totally pro-Plunge," said Cathy Allen. "It's for a good cause, so we're pleased about that."
Scott Finnigan, dressed formally in suit and tie, put a different spin on the Polar Plunge. Before making the jump, he kneeled on the ice and proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Kristi Miller.
"We have a ring and a man with a wet knee," said Dave Geiger of Paul Bunyan Broadcasting, the announcer for the Polar Plunge.
When Miller threw her arms around Finnigan, Geiger announced, "I think that's a yes."
The spectators cheered and the divers shook Finnigan's hand in congratulations before guiding him out of the water and onto the ice.
The winter festival continues this week:
- A second performance of Mask and Rose Women's Theater Cooperative "Hanson's Grill - MN Nice on Ice" at 3 p.m. today in the tent on Lake Bemidji.
- The 11th annual Freedom Walk in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. at 3 p.m. today from Paul and Babe to the Bemidji State University American Indian Resource Center.
- The Taste of Northern Minnesota with 4:30-6:30 p.m. and 6:30-8 p.m. sessions Thursday, Jan. 21, at the New City Ballroom in the Hungry Bear Conference Center, 2300 24th St. N.W.

"Helmets can be tricky to size, especially for women. Men can typically tell based on their fitted baseball cap measurements. women typically do not have fitted baseball hats, so we have to measure...a Small would be about 55cm around the head and a Medium would be approximately 57 cm around.

An Interfaith Community
The DePauw Community is an Interfaith Community.
We embrace people from a wide range of religious practices and beliefs, and encourage our students to explore what it means to live in a religiously diverse community. Interfaith interns are trained each year to facilitate these activities, working with staff to provide opportunities for learning about various religious traditions. We also organize weekly Food for Thought discussions at which students and faculty members can come together outside the classroom context and share ideas on topics that they care about. As an interfaith community we seek to grow in our own beliefs and values while learning about the religious practices of others.

A Continent for the Taking: The Tragedy and Hope of Africa by Howard W.
French (Knopf, 304 pages, $25). A correspondent for The New York Times,
French offers deeply felt dispatches about the chaos and misery engulfing
modern Africa. He also recalls the continent's well-structured society of
ancient kingdoms during pre-colonial times and argues that Africa would be
a more stable continent today had it not been for the "violent European
hijacking" of its political development during four centuries of slavery.
Against All Enemies by Richard A. Clarke (Free Press, 304 pages, $27). In
looking back at his stint as a White House counterterrorism official,
Clarke has unkind things to say about President George W. Bush's record
before 9/11 – and after it, too. This book attracted tons of coverage on
cable TV and talk radio.
American Brutus: John Wilkes Booth and the Lincoln Conspiracies by Michael
W. Kauffman (Random House, 496 pages, $35). The assassination of Abraham
Lincoln in 1865, like the assassination of John F. Kennedy almost 100 years
later, has inspired an endless flow of conspiracy theories. Were documented
facts and sound reasoning sufficient to stanch that flow, this impressively
researched book would do it – but it can't perform miracles.
American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune and the Politics of Deceit in the
House of Bush by Kevin Phillips (Viking, 297 pages, $25.95). Just because
George W. Bush won a second term in the White House is no reason to ignore
how the Bush family has become America's leading political dynasty.
Phillips, perhaps best described as a disenchanted conservative, explains
how the 43rd president rose to his present position and how his father, the
41st president, took advantage of his family's position in finance, oil and
politics to prepare the way for his son
American Sucker by David Denby (Little, Brown, 337 pages, $24.95). Swept up
in the twin frenzies of an overheated stock market and the excitement of

oldest lessons of Wall Street: It's OK to be a bull or a bear but not a
The Americans at D-Day by John C. McManus (Forge Books, 400 pages, $26.95).
St. Louisan McManus focuses his military historian's skills on the Normandy
invasion of June 1944, producing a coherent – and earthy – account of a
most untidy day.
Arc of Justice by Kevin Boyle (Henry Holt, 415 pages, $26). Using the gifts
of a fiction writer and the gumshoe research of a reporter, Boyle conjures
the year 1925 in Detroit, when one brave family decided they were going to
cross the color line, no matter what the consequences. Winner of a National
Book Award.
Atlas of Lewis & Clark in Missouri by James D. Harlan and James M. Denny
(University of Missouri Press, 138 pages, $59.95). The authors follow Lewis
and Clark from the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, across
the state of Missouri, to the Nebraska-Iowa border (Nov. 14, 1803, to July
18, 1804) and again on the return (Sept. 9-23, 1806). Twenty-seven
full-page maps make this book truly unique and appealing.
The Bullet's Story by William Pfaff (Simon & Schuster, 335 pages, $27.95).
Pfaff traces the proponents of romantic violence in the first half of the
20th century, considering the excitement and good intentions of many of the
most colorful figures of that time (such as Lawrence of Arabia) but
concluding that their contribution was essentially damaging to our
Chain of Command: The Road From 9/11 to Abu Ghraib by Seymour Hersh
(HarperCollins, 394 pages, $25.95). One of the most talented, persistent
investigative journalists who ever lived expands on his exposes for The New
Yorker magazine to portray George W. Bush's White House and military
decision-makers out of control. Hersh is always controversial, but his
documentation from records, direct observation and interviews seems
The Coming of the Third Reich by Richard Evans (Penguin, 461 pages,
$34.95). Evans, a noted historian of Nazi Germany produces here the first
volume of a thorough and well-written study of the rise and fall of the
Hitler regime. This work, which ends in 1933, is something of a warm-up for
the main act, but it is a fine history of Weimar Germany and the
development of Nazism.
A Continent for the Taking: The Tragedy and Hope of Africa by Howard W.
French (Knopf, 304 pages, $25). A correspondent for The New York Times,
French offers deeply felt dispatches about the chaos and misery engulfing
modern Africa. He also recalls the continent's well-structured society of
ancient kingdoms during pre-colonial times and argues that Africa would be
a more stable continent today had it not been for the "violent European
hijacking" of its political development during four centuries of slavery.
The Dictators by Richard Overy (Norton, 651 pages, $35). Overy compares the
regimes of Hitler and Stalin, their institutions and behavior with clinical
skill. These two governments spent their time (usually) excoriating each
other, but the remarkable similarities are well explained in this book.
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne
Truss (Gotham Books, 240 pages, $17.50). Truss gives you permission to love
punctuation. A passionate diatribe against the misuse of commas and
apostrophes, it's witty, entertaining, anecdotal – and informative.
The End of Blackness: Returning the Souls of Black Folk to Their Rightful
Owners by Debra J. Dickerson (Pantheon, 304 pages, $24). Just as
controversial as Dickerson's first book, titled "An American Story," this
new work suggests that it's time for black Americans to stop blaming racism
for their problems and start looking inward for ways to uplift themselves
and their communities.
Generation Kill by Evan Wright (Putnam, 354 pages, $24.95). When the United
States invaded Iraq in March 2003, Wright, a reporter for Rolling Stone,
was embedded with a forward-edge Marine reconnaissance unit. His detailed
recounting of the Marines' dialogue and reasons for being there is a
priceless realty check for anyone who has blind faith in the American
crusade against al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein.
The Great Influenza by John M. Barry (Viking, 546 pages, $29.95). Medical
science is already bracing for a rerun of the worldwide flu epidemic that
killed millions in 1918. Writer Barry looks backward at the awful event of
1918 – and forward to the inevitability of another such outbreak.
The Hidden Cost of Being African American by Thomas M. Shapiro (Oxford
University Press, 238 pages, $28). Drawing on empirical data and interviews
with 200 families in St. Louis, Boston and Los Angeles, Thomas M. Shapiro
argues that inherited wealth has given many whites special advantages over
blacks on virtually every quality-of-life scale, from the neighborhoods
whites live in to the schools their children attend. This black-white
economic gap will widen, he warns, as about $9 trillion in wealth largely
in white hands is bequeathed to baby boomers and others during the next
three decades.
House of Bush, House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between the World's
Two Most Powerful Dynasties by Craig Unger (Scribner, 356 pages, $26). The
2004 election may be over, but Unger would argue that anyone who disregards
the Bush family's ties to the ruling Saudi family would be guilty of
willful disbelief. Unger, citing many published sources, pulls together
revealing facts about the close relationship of several generations of
Bushes to the Saudis.
Israel on the Appomattox: A Southern Experiment in Black Freedom From the
1790s Through the Civil War by Melvin Patrick Ely (Knopf, 632 pages, $35).
Zeroing in on a minuscule piece of ante-bellum history, Ely discovers an
absorbing story of how a group of slaves in Prince Edward County, Va.,
built a successful community and apparently enjoyed relatively easy
business and social relations with their white neighbors. He is an example
of researchers who are rediscovering slavery and are looking for fresh and
provocative things to say about the era.

San Francisco Giant Jeff "Keppy" Keppinger, Does He Like the White House?July 22, 2011
The San Jose Mercury reported Jeff "Keppy" Keppinger will not be looking forward to his visit to the White House.
Even though he was not on the 2010 team, he is part of this team in 2011 and therefore part of the team spirit. Since the current team is going, Keppy should be proud to visit the White House with the team.
As for the other Giants, they shouldn't be complaining about visiting on the off day. They should be proud as true blood Americans.
After all, their teammates support the troops with charitable causes. For example Barry Zito's "Strike Out For Troops." If they need an example of patriotism they should check with Zeets (Zito).
Also, Brian Wilson is an Air Force brat from growing up with his father and grandfather.
Honoring the troops is an important part of being an American.
Perhaps some of the team didn't know that Obama cancelled the original trip because he was catching Bin Laden.
On another semi-connected note, would Monta Ellis be a good major leaguer on the Giants?

Temple tries -- yet again -- to get Matt Rhule his first win and to avoid its worst start since 2006 …
Temple (0-6, 0-3 American) vs. Army (3-4)
Lincoln Financial Field - Philadelphia, Pa.
Saturday, 1 p.m., ESPN3
Temple (+1)
This one actually opened Temple (-3). The Owls are 3-3 against the spread this season, but 0-3 in games with single-digit numbers.
Scouting Temple
P.J. Walker impressed in his first college start, but also made some decisions that reminded everyone he's a true freshman. Walker went 12 for 22 for 200 yards passing, threw for a touchdown and two picks, and ran for 47 yards in Temple's 38-20 loss at Cincinnati last Friday night. He led Temple to 20 first-half points, but got blanked in the second half.
Unfortunately for an offense that's shown new life under Walker, the Owls' kicking issues made an unfortunate return last week as Nick Visco banged one of his extra point attempts off the right upright. Temple had gone two games without a missed kick and three without a missed extra point. Rhule said Tuesday that Visco will continue his place kicking duties for the foreseeable future and that Tyler Mayes could supplant Jim Cooper Jr. this week on kickoffs.
On defense, the Owls are still letting up points and yards, but sophomore linebacker Tyler Matakevich leads the nation in solo tackles with 65. No one else has more than 45.
Scouting Army
Matakevich will have plenty of opportunities to tackle this week against an Army team that runs nearly every play.
The Black Knights' triple-option offense leads the nation in rushing yards with 352.3 yards per game. Of course, their passing offense is third to last in the FBS (66.7 ypg). They run the ball 59.7 times per game against a nation-low 11 passing attempts.
Quarterback Angel Santiago has taken over for four-year starter Trent Steelman. Terry Baggett (77 for 744) is Army's leading rusher and put up 304 yards on Eastern Michigan last week. Senior rusher and West Catholic grad Raymond Maples will miss his fifth game in a row with a groin injury.
Army has won three of its seven games, but those victories have come against FCS Morgan State and two FBS teams -- Louisiana Tech and Eastern Michigan -- with a combined record of 1-9. Its four losses -- to Ball State, Stanford, Wake Forest and Boston College -- have come by an average of 18.5 points.
Temple leads the all-time series 6-4, but has won the last five games -- three of those five have been by margins of 28 points or more.
In 2010, Owls running back Matt Brown set what was then a single-game program record with four touchdowns at Michie Stadium. And in the return trip to West Point in 2012, Montel Harris set new program and Big East records with 351 yards and seven touchdowns in a 63-32 Temple win.
Flying the flag
Backup quarterback Connor Reilly carried the American flag as the Owls took the field the last two seasons. His father, Lt. Col. Neil Reilly, served with the Army in Afghanistan and flew the Temple flag over his battalion while deployed, carrying the flag with him on each mission.
Somebody has to win
Temple hasn't won a home game since it beat South Florida in the Big East conference opener Oct. 6 of last year. The Owls have dropped their last six in a row at Lincoln Financial Field.
Army, meanwhile, has never won at the Linc. Including Army-Navy games, the Black Knights are 0-10 since the stadium opened in 2004.
Counting Temple, Army and the Eagles, the home team is winless at the Linc in its last 15 tries.

Boston — State Auditor Suzanne Bump today released an audit of the New Bedford Housing Authority finding both a series of management deficiencies and some improvements at the agency.
The audit identified incomplete inventories of the authority's furniture and equipment, fringe-benefits for its executive director not treated as taxable compensation and certain housing unit assignment processes that did not comply with state regulations.
The report also found the authority has made progress since their 2012 state audit in decreasing the turnaround time in preparing vacant units for occupancy – going from 95 days to 40, allowing increased revenue collection. The Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development guidelines call for a 21 day turnaround.
Auditor Bump called on the New Bedford Housing Authority to further improve its unit turnaround rates and to bring the policies, procedures and activities reviewed in compliance with standards. In its response included in the report, the authority indicated that is working to address identified issues.
The New Bedford Housing Authority manages and oversees 389 elderly housing units, 168 family units, 330 veterans' units, and 16 special-needs units. The agency also manages 155 vouchers under the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program and the Alternative Housing Voucher Program.
The Office of the State Auditor conducts technical and performance audits of state government's programs, departments, agencies, authorities, contracts, and vendors. With its reports, the OSA issues recommendations to improve accountability, efficiency, and transparency.
The New Bedford Housing Authority audit is available here.

April Fool's Day might have been a day full of trickery and practical jokes, but for dedicated True Blood fans it marked the release of a brand new teaser trailer, highlighting what to expect from the fifth season of HBO's vampiric series.
And while the action-packed sneak peak includes some of the most important things we've come to love about the show: violence, fangs, and shirtlessness, there was one pivotal character who was noticeably missing among the array of old (and new) faces: Tara.
During the Season Four finale, Tara was shot in the head trying to protect Sookie from Alcide's crazy werewolf ex-girlfriend Debbie. So given the fact that the opening scene consists of Sookie burying a body, TB fans are worried now more than ever that Bon Temps' most outspoken character won't be making a return — in vampire form or otherwise. Let's hope it's Debbie she's burying instead.
Other things to look forward to includes a steamy make-out scene between Eric and someone who is not Sookie, and a few snippets of what Reverend-turned-vampire Steve Newlin is like now that he's joined the fangs club. He seems to be adjusting to his new life quite well considering he was once a vampire-hater (don't you just love irony?).
Check out the gripping new trailer below and get a taste of what's to come in just a few short months. True Blood season five premieres this June on HBO.

"Grandfather?" He blinked, adjusting his glasses, and nodded at his grandson. "Why exactly did you refuse to become the Emperor?"
Yosho sighed, his eyes unfocusing as he remembered. "Hmm…"
"Yosho! You have to preserve the line!"
"But… Mother… I can't, I'm —"
"Tenchi, our family bears a terrible responsibility… with the Tenchi-ken, when a member of the royal family reaches a certain level of maturity…" he seemed to struggle for a moment, then shook his head. "Don't worry about it, Tenchi. Suffice to say I'm happier here."
"…fifth in the line."
"It… it is my duty."
He shivered, shaking his head. "It's a terrible curse, Tenchi. Trust me. You're happier not knowing about it."
"Why not?"
There were bright, flashing lights, swirling colors, and an unpleasant internal… shifting sensation.
"Grandfather? Are you okay?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, readying the tenchi-ken, and shaking his head. "Tenchi. Get into the house."
"It's… over… thank the kami… why can't I change back!?"
"It takes a few hours. Are you okay?"
Tenchi backed away slowly, stepping towards the house, and finally noticing the sun, just about to set. "Grandfather?"
"Is that all you can say, Tenchi? LEAVE!"
"What do you mean they're going to follow me?"
"It's our burden. They follow us, because they hate us."
"Tenchi! Get Sammy here."
He blinked, staring. "Who!?"
"Then I'll leave. They'll follow me. No one else can become the next in line if I'm not here."
"Are you joking? We can't afford to let that happen!"
"Tell Sasami, Tenchi, tell her we need Sammy, now run!"
Frightened, Tenchi whirled, his feet churning up loose soil, as the sun continued its descent, and he ran back to the house.
The words flowed through his mind, calling back the Tenchi-ken's hidden power and unlocking his heritage. He knew he could never let Tenchi become the next in line, because then it would become permanent.
And then the magic tore through him, burning him away, and leaving… her…
Tenchi skidded to a halt, seeing Sasami already rushing towards him, only… she was wearing what looked like a battle outfit, and carrying a bow. "Sasami-chan?" Tenchi managed, stunned.
Sasami ignored him, yelling, "I am the one hundred and seventh generation devil hunter, Pretty Sammy!"

I'm looking for suggestions on where to go at the end of August - I will more than likely be travelling alone, and am more interested in the lazy, beachy type of vacation. Not very adventurous (by myself anyway), and would like to probably keep pretty much to myself, maybe going off of the resort to shop a little, but that would be about it. I live in Ohio, so I will more than likely be flying out of either Dayton, Cincinnati or Columbus airports. Planning on a week, and my budget is around $3K. I have already been to the Bahamas, so I don't really want to go again. I have heard great things about Turks & Caicos, Bermuda and Jamaica, however, I know nothing about how the weather is that time of year with hurricane season, etc. I am also not dead set on the Caribbean, but figured that would be the easiest, given where I live. I am by no means a world traveler, but have many places and things I would love to experience - mainly Europe, but have no desire to go there by myself! I have been to Cancun, Bahamas on a cruise, Las Vegas, NYC, San Diego, Chicago, Dallas, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, Virginia Beach, many parts of Florida and on many boating trips to different lakes.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated!!!

End of August in the Caribbean alway has a risk factor attached as it is in the middle of the hurricane season. You say you have done a cruise to the Bahamas, would you consider a one week cruise in August? There is a Carnival cruise that runs year round and visits Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St Maarten, Barbados and Aruba, which you can pick up either in Puerto Rico or Barbados - a great way to see a few islands and do your own thing. Otherwise, Jamaica pretty much invented all inclusive resorts and, hurricane risk aside, is a great place to visit with everything included, easy to get to and an out-of-resort trip easy to arrange. Barbados is also very easy to get to and has a lower hurricane risk being further south. Limited all inclusives, many many beachfront properties where you could just chill on the beach and do a tour or shopping trip when you feel like it. Same applies to Aruba which has the lowest hurricane risk. Can't help you with Bermuda or the TCI - sorry.
You can find some more info here that might help sway you in your decision:
PS. The sea is usually fantastic in August too, unless there is a storm around.
Report Abuse
I would avoid cruising during hurricane season. Even with trip/hurricane insurance it will not cover missed ports and a bad vacation.
Turks and Caicos would be ideal for what you described, but again in August, I would be concerned weather wise. We used to go to Mexico in August/September, but got tired of watching to see if our trip was going to be cancel or re-routed and then when we did go most everything closed or torn up by the weather.
I would suggest Barbados or Aruba. Will more likely have better weather. They do have good beaches, dining options and activities if you are interested. I love AI hotels, but those destinations are not good AI options.

The 'problem' with your question isn't being single, or 30, or traveling solo... it's going to the Caribbean in AUGUST!!
Why don't you want to go to Europe alone?
Honestly I found that a whole LOT easier (traveling around to major cities like Amsterdam, Paris, Venice, etc.) and much more comfortable, than I would be going into the Caribbean solo.
Report Abuse
Hi, Suze,
My birthday is in the last week of August, and if I take that week off, then I also get the following Monday off for Labor Day. I might consider going to Europe solo, but I would rather have more time than just a week, and more money than just $3K... But, like I said, I am not the world traveler, and you could very well know something that I don't! If so, please educate me!
Report Abuse
heck I'm no expert, but I have been to Europe 5 times. Each trip I was alone for at least part of the trip. You'd have to price airfare, but I could definitely spend 1 week in Paris for $3,000 easy (and I'm all the way in Seattle). Just figure $1,000 each for airfare, hotel, everything else. To me there's just soooooo much more to see and do in cities of Europe, good public transportation for getting around, safe, fun, I never feel out of place being alone.
I've been to the Caribbean 6 times, only one trip I was alone for part of the time. Honestly it just wasn't that much fun or comfortable for me (Jamaica).
I go to Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) all the time solo (20+ trips) and am extremely comfortable there. But August is likely horrible weather (no hurricanes, but HOT and humid, rainy season) there too.
It's the month you are traveling and the weather conditions that I think makes both the Caribbean or Mexico, well, not where I'd choose to go at that time.
Any interest in Hawaii?
Report Abuse
Hi, again, Suze!
I have heard that Hawaii is gorgeous, and I wouldn't be adverse to going... Just heard that it was extremely expensive, which is why I didn't have it on my "list". Maybe I give myself an earlier or later birthday present?
Report Abuse
That is a misconception. Hawaii does not have to be expensive in my experience. Just depends what you see and do once you get there.
I like to go to Waikiki/Honolulu solo (have been there 4 times). It costs me the same as going to Puerto Vallarta Mexico overall. I have to spend a bit more for the hotel room in Hawaii but actually I spend less on food, drinks, activities. There is good public transportation on Oahu so you don't need a car. Plenty of free activities and reasonably priced places to eat (I get a hotel room with a small frig or kitchenette and eat some meals from the grocery store sitting on my lanai).
Sure if you change your month of travel, that would open up possibilities a lot and include being able to go to Mexican beach towns or a Caribbean island.
Report Abuse
You have $3K and a week in August? Nice, but the reason it is the Carribean's low season is because the weather isn't great there then AND the weather IS great elsewhere.
Europe-Absolutely. Compared to 20 years ago it is much easier to get around there now since the EU and euro have integrated the money and transportation and also accidently caused english to become much more common. If it were me, and wanted to relax, I might try to book a smaller hotel, inn or B&B so that I would become known and looked after a bit rather than the crowds of a big hotel where people might be more bold about hassling a single woman. Consider splitting the week between Paris and Biarritz for some culture and some sun/beach, for example. I'm not sure you could get a european cruise for that price given it is their peak season, but you could check.
In the US, consider Martha's Vineyard. Plenty of beach lounging available and easy bike rides to get some activity in as well. Very slow paced placed and for better or worse, being New England, no one will speak to you unless you speak to them first. (Of course unless they are from New York in which case they'll give you a big happy "How you doin?" before getting back to their Times. Like a big puppy dog and perfectly harmless.)
The number one happy trip I have heard from people recently is the classic Alaskan cruise. It may not be your cup of tea, but I've yet to meet anyone who didn't like it.
Oh to have $3000 and a week in August...
Report Abuse
I can tell you from just doing an Alaskan cruise in September it cannot be had for $3,000. The single supplement rate on a cruise is just obscene not to mention the prices for the excursions in each port.
I have found the best time to go to the Caribbean is in May before Memorial Day and the first or second week in November/December. The weather is usually good, the prices are good and the crowds are down.
Suze, is the only person I know who can go to Hawaii and not spend as much as most people, but she tends to travel unlike most people actually like to. (No offense Suze, it's not a diss) I guess if you are going alone some of the expeditures can be cut out or down. In my experience Hawaii was the second most expensive vacation that we have taken with Alaksa coming in first. The least expensive is Mexico, which is why we usually go every year for the last 10 years.
Report Abuse
I'll agree with that. I don't travel like most people probably like to. I vacation like I live in the place. And yes often I am solo. But even when I go with a friend the cost comparison holds between Mexico and Hawaii just I spend a bit more regardless. When you're with a friend you tend to eat out more often, go to bars more often, etc.
In Hawaii I mostly just go to the beach every day. I ride The Bus around. I take my Zumba Fitness classes locally. Hang out by the hotel pool part of the day. Go to the Farmers Markets, the public parks, hear free music, watch free dance shows. Head out for sunset most day and have a glass of wine somewhere fancy beach-front. Then back inland for an inexpensive meal at a food court or Korean BBQ or sit on my own lanai with cocktails and something to-go.
What adds up and makes Hawaii expensive is that most people want to experience high-end restaurants, sunset catamaran cruises, helicopter rides, renting a car, shopping, etc.
I do basically the same thing in Mexico. Just 'live like a local'.
My facts are correct because keep track of my expenses so know that from Seattle to either Waikiki or Puerto Vallarta, it is the same, and that I can do 10 days either place for approx. $1500.

Hey there,
I read all the replays and I came with a new option, what do you thing about the Island of Curacao? This place have a European stile mixed with a Caribbean feeling, so if you are wondering between going to Europe or the Caribbean then you have a perfect place where you can have both experiences.
Even better, you don't need to worry about hurricane season because the island is below the hurricane belt. August is a great time to go, and if you want to know more about what to do on this island let me know, I can tell you everything about it. This island is full of museums, and you can also relax on the beach if that's more your choice.
For shopping there is a Floating Market that brings all their products from Venezuela, and you can also find great Super Markets from Holland.
I hope you find this helpful

Hi, LisaEvans!
You are the second person today who has mentioned Curacao to me! I was actually pretty set on Barbados, and staying at the Coral Reef Inn, but I might have to look more into this island...
Can you recommend a few hotels? Do you recommend all inclusive? I would rather stay at a smaller hotel than a huge, family-oriented resort.
Thank you so much for the suggestion, and I look forward to hearing back from you!
Report Abuse
We went to Curacao in 2009. We stayed at the Lions Dive, which has regular hotel rooms and apartments. We booked a regular room and was upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment. The resorts has 3 on-site restaurants and several more within walking distance. The Sea Aquarium is also within walking distance.
Curacao does not have the typical long stretches of white sandy beaches. Instead, the beaches are coves and inlets mostly located on the West side of the Island. The sand is made up of crushed coral, so water shoes are a must. Most people tend to rent a car to get around. They do have a van/bus type system, but seemed not as reliable as a rental car or grabbing a taxi.
Curacao does not have good options for AI. There is Breezes, which is very family friendly and gets questionable reviews, the Marriott, which is also family friendly and Kura Hulanda, which is very expensive.
I think your choice of Barbados is a better option.

If you're considering Europe then I'll throw Buenos Aires into the ring, think weather would be better in the month of August. I know air is expensive (ideal destination for award tix) but once I arrived, the conversion rate (4 USD:1) made everything absurdly inexpensive. There r great apt rentals to be had in the central Palermo district for a few hundred dollars (per week) and you could do some organized tour to visit Iguazu Falls. Would you be Interested in taking tango lessons?
Shopping (particularly shoes and purses) and food in this city were exceptional. Not sure about the solo part as this one was with friends and i don't recall if I saw women traveling solo (a very common sight in Europe....) But I've had friends go solo to Europe in Aug and they said the heat made it difficult to do anything and too many things were closed since it's a traditional vaca period. That being said, I loved my solo trips to Paris....
Report Abuse
fishee, Buenos Aires is a wonderful suggestion. I keep hearing great things (and seen photos in travel magazines) of the Palermo district especially.
I've been in Europe in August twice. Venice and Paris specifically. Yes it was hot but I didn't find it stopped me from doing anything. I also didn't run into any closures. You would probably want AC in your hotel or apt.

I spent a week in Paris by myself a few years ago and had a fabulous time (hubbie, daughter, friends, sisters couldn't get away and I had use or lose leave). It was my third trip there (first was with hubbie, second with daughter) and definitely won't be my last. Never felt that anyone was looking at me funny because was by myself. Fat bike ride to Monet's garden, ballet, museums, cafes, private walking tour, group walking tour, markets and grocery stores for souvenirs to bring home, Hamman (Turkish spa), etc. Walked, walked and walked. I don't speak French but speak Spanish and did just fine. Called home every night to talk to hubby. My mother gave me a great hint--take a notebook with you and jot down notes about things that I wanted to tell her and others about my stay. It got me over my initial anxiety about eating alone, but, found that lots of women do that when out shopping etc. After a few days, found that I was forgetting to pull out that notebook! August can be warm so definitely get AC.

Okay, I've been to Caribbean almost every August for the last 20 years and had plenty of luck. Don't know if I just know how to pick them! . I have also traveled the world alone, including Caribbean and Europe.
August is actually my favorite month in Caribbean. Everything is cheaper. The weather seems to be calmer, water tends to be brighter.
A couple of observations:
It is hurricane season. On the chance one does brew, you usually have 5-7 days to see if going in your direction and make plans. When the there is no hurricane, the weather can be perfect, better than Dec and Jan that command higher prices. Just get travel insurance for peace of mind, but it's minimal.
Curaçao while below the hurricane belt, can still get one! Hawaii can also get one, and august can be rainy. What's my point? Weather happens. So don't let the thought of weather that may or may not happen deter you.
Europe is nice, south America is nice, but it sounds like you need an island!
So the places you tagged, Bermuda is peak season in summer, as to gets chilly in winter, so you don't see them lacking tourist just because it's hurricane season.
Barbados is a big island. Has a little bit of everything. Be warned, they are vends on the beaches, and traveling alone you may feel approached to often.
Aruba and Turks are flat dry islands. Aruba is a more party place, you'll meet tons of people. Turks is quieter and more destressing, all about the beach, one of the best in the world. My first trip there was so nice, I ended up buying a small home for future semi-retirement.
So what's my point! Go back to plan A Caribbean in august. Get insurance for peace of mind. Enjoy!

I agree with Blamona..we have been to Turks & Caicos in August twice and LOVE it. Less expensive, stilll busy for off season, excellent restaurants and an easy island to travel alone.

As much as I love Europe, skip it this time. By the time you recover from jet lag and spend another day at the airport waiting for your departing flight, your trip is over If you want to relax and reduce your time travelling, why not consider Cape Cod? You can fly into Boston or Hyannis, rent a car and within a hours you can be in your own rented cottage getting ready for the beach. Granted these are New England beaches and not the waters of the Caribbean, but the Cape offers many activities for the single person: day trips to Martha's Vineyard and/or Nantucket, drives along the coast to check out the towns, afternoons at the beach, lots and lots of restaurants and cafes, and it's not very far from Newport RI if you want to see the Newport mansions. You can even rent a bicycle and explore the awesome bike paths on the Cape. The weather is great in August - warm in the day and (usually) cools down in the evening. There is some risk of hurricanes, but not to the extent of the Caribbean! Search websites such as: homeaway.com, weneedavacation.com, or vrbo.com to find reasonably priced house rentals. If you want more info on areas to stay on the Cape just ask!! I hope this helps. Oh, and it is a very safe and friendly place.

South Park land rush to X out Rebecca's Coffeehouse?
"Right, 'Let's put in a Starbucks there.' I'd be a dead man walking."
Julie Stalmer 9:30 a.m., Nov. 17
Wow. This is swank.
Sora (655 West Broadway, downtown, 619-564-7100).
I've come in for happy hour. Thursdays and Fridays, you buy a drink, you get free food, like pasta and pizzas and edamame. Choice is not surprising since Sora is all about fusing Italian and Japanese food.
The chef is Noriyoshi Teruya, from no lesser place than Nobu.
So I came in, around 5:30 p.m. just to be sure I was in HH time, looked around at the pink and metal and wood décor, and wondered if I'd bitten off too much this time.
The Japanese sign for "Sora," which means "Sky."
"Happy hour? You have to go to the back, where you can see the kitchen," says the welcomer.
Ho-kay. So I take the long journey through the tables, around the big square bar, and to an alcove facing windows that look through to the cooks.
On a kinda high table there they have the remains of, like, three smallish pizzas, two of them chestnut and romanesco (Italian broccoli) and one with gorgonzola and tomato sauce. In between they have a couple of bowls of pasta and another of edamame.
But, turns out, you can sit at the big square bar, too.
The pizza has a nice crust that's thin but not too thin. Like, not cracker-hard, but not doughy either. And that chestnut-broccoli combo is good, too. Best though: pungent gorgonzola pizza.
One at a time: this is the chestnut and romanesco pizza
Plus, hey, it's free, which makes the $8 glass of wine (no happy hour drink prices. And rule is, no drink, no eat) seem a lot more reasonable.
And I luck out with the wine. It's rough, earthy, flavorful. Nero d'Avola. ($8). "It's from Sicily," says Nicolae, the place's wine guy, "a very ancient wine. The grapes are so dark they look black. That's why they call it 'Nero.'"
Must say: Nero brings the pizzas to life. You feel the taste get richer with each gulp.
Gorgonzola and tomato pasta. Most gone. Shoulda come earlier
But what I most notice is Bek...
...their expert mixologist from New Yawk City, here at the bar. This lady is a high priestess of today's raging cocktail cult. What do I know about cocktails? Niente. Nada. But I got a whiff of a liqueur she's pouring called St. Germain. French.
Mmm. Smell it, you think of lychee. Actually made from elderberry flowers. She makes a cocktail she calls "Flower Drum Song," with sake, soju, lemon and the St Germain. Sounds dee-lish.
Coming back. Next time, no wine, just this $9 liqueur and a glass of water.
And some free pizza, natch.
The happy hour weekly menu

Album Rating: 3.5Going to write my own review for this at some point, i'm not a fan of some parts of the review but others I am. Well written of course but come on it's Bleeding Through, they have never been terrific lyricists.
Album Rating: 3.0hahaha he's an unabashed fanboy
Metallic, I changed that whole line, let me know what you think
Album Rating: 3.5This is better than both Declaration and self titled. On an interesting note just found recently Marta married Phil from Machine Head.
Album Rating: 3.0Changed that line about the lyrics, it flows better now I think
Album Rating: 3.5no idea why my list just deleted but oh well.
Congrats on feature bro.
Album Rating: 3.0thanks pizza man
Album Rating: 3.5I dig it for the most part. It hits hard anyway and Brandons screams are incredible. Probably gonna give it a 3. The lyrics suck as always and the keys are definitely overwhelming at times. Also, while I loved the cleans on Declaration, they suck here. Thank god they are few and far between.
Album Rating: 3.0@KSK1 - The cleans definitely suck, and I agree that they weren't bad at all on Declaration
I never cared for this band and i still don't. As long as they can keep winds of plague stuck behind their shadow im happy.
Digging: Tetragrammacide - Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix
Album Rating: 3.0Just listened to Winds Of Plague and they don't really sound that similar to me
Album Rating: 3.0Sounded okay from what I heard.
The single was pretty cool. Might give it a listen.
nice write-up and congrats on the feature man.
"it's impressive he still sounds so good after ten years of barking and screaming when many other vocalists in the industry have lost the ability."
Uh,what? Who?
They were better when Jona was in the band.
Album Rating: 3.0Have this downloaded, will check it in a bit though I'm not really expecting much. These guys have always skirted the line between good and bad
Review read more like a three. Is it more Declaration like? Or self titled like. I liked Declaration but nothing else really.
Album Rating: 3.0I would say its more Declaration than ST
Hoped they would bring back Townsend.
Ooh I'll check it out right now then. Good to hear from you again Apollo!

Kudos to David Bowyer's "Cortez Colorado: Our Beautiful Backyard," a brand new DV about the wealth of culture, nature, history and recreation available right here in our hometown. I really enjoyed David's latest production. I didn't realize just how lucky we are to live in this big and beautiful backyard called Cortez.
The cinematography is outstanding, and we are extremely fortunate, in my opinion, to have such an outstanding veteran filmmaker available to us. Over the years, I've collected several of David's films about the Four Corners region. He does the community a great service by pointing out the good, and the just plain spectacular, in Cortez and its surroundings.
