Original Trinity Hymnal, #693 Come to the Saviour, make no delay: Here in his Word he's shown us the way; Here in our midst he's standing today, Tenderly saying, "Come!" Joyful, joyful, will the meeting be, When from sin our hearts are pure and free; And we shall gather, Saviour, with thee, In our eternal home. Suffer the children! O hear his voice! Let ev'ry heart leap forth and rejoice; And let us freely make him our choice: Do not delay, but come. Think once again, he's with us today; Heed now his blest command, and obey; Hear now his accents tenderly say, "Will you, my children, come?"

Italy's more recent development as an international winter sports destination owes a lot to prices that are appreciably lower than those in other Alpine countries. It has some other obvious attractions such as its consistently good food and wine, friendly atmosphere and splendid scenery - especially in Courmayeur and the Dolomites.
Perhaps less recognized is the fact that Italy has some of the most modern lift systems in Europe, state of the art snow-making and top notch grooming. There is also some superb lift-accessed off-piste in the Vallee d'Aosta resorts and with heli skiing outlawed in much of the rest of the Alps, this is the best place for it.
The low prices and Italian's lovingly embracing approach to 'bambinis' mean that many resorts are ideal for families. The flexibility of the hotels and short transfer times, particularly to Courmayeur and the rest of the Valle d'Aosta, make it an ideal and affordable destination for short breaks and ski weekends.
No-one knows Courmayeur like we do, with a 27 year history in this resort, we provide a service that is second to none. The perfect ski weekend resort and a food-lovers paradise.
View More →Altitude! A high resort with even higher skiing that is linked to Zermatt across the border in Switzerland to provide an enormous ski area. It is overlooked by the towering southern face of the mighty Matterhorm.
View More →Award winning piste grooming, the beautiful scenery of the Brenta Dolomites, excellent food and a charming town.
View More →Discover it before everyone else does and the prices start to go up – a wonderful Italian hidden gem.
View More →An extensive and underused ski area linked to La Rosiere in France offering a significant amount of skiing. La Thuile has an excellent snow record with mainly east-facing slopes, minimal queuing during the week, and wide long cruisey runs right back to village level. Beginners are blessed with some unusually high altitude nursery slopes and for experts the off piste is fantastic. Like the slopes, the town is fairly quiet but there are some great dining options on and off the mountain. Great for families looking for somewhere a little quieter during peak dates or ski weekenders for whom great skiing is the priority.
Make an Enquiry →There is a phenomenal concentration of village ski resorts in the stunningly beautiful Italian Dolomites, that centre around the mighty limestone massif of the Gruppo Sella. Many of these are linked to make up the renowned intermediate paradise of the Sella Ronda circuit – Selva Val Gardena being one of the largest along with Arabba, best for more challenging skiing and quick access to the Marmolada glacier, and Corvara which enjoys a great location from which to explore the different linked sections of this vast area. There are plenty of other villages in the area, some linked to the main lift system and others that are more isolated hidden gems worth exploring for their deserted slopes. The whole area is also blessed with a huge number of top restaurants - another resort worth a specific mention is San Cassiano, at the heart of this gourmet hot spot and home to some notable hotels such as the wonderful Rosa Alpina.
Make an Enquiry →Often referred to as Italy's 3 valleys but the absolute antithesis of the French version beyond the geographical comparison: underrated skiing, quiet, great value and a wonderful sense of space on the mountain. On top of the well groomed pistes, the off piste terrain and heli skiing on the Monte Rosa are the real draw. Champoluc at the western end of the area is the most substantial village, popular with families and those that want a little more going on. Gressoney, in the middle valley, is really a collection of three smaller villages, St Jean, La Trinite and Stafal that all have a raw alpine feel. This is the best place to stay to access the full extent of the mountain and is home to the excellent local guiding and heliskiing operation. The perfect destination for a weekend of heliski and off-piste action. Alagna is the third valley for serious off-pisters only.
Make an Enquiry →Via Lattea, or Milkyway in English, offers 400 kilometres of pistes that link Sestriere, Sauze d'Oulx, Sansicario, Pragelato and Montgenevre in France to provide an impressive amount of mainly intermediate, high altitude skiing. Home to the mountain based disciplines of the 2006 Turin winter Olympics and conveniently close to the city. Sestriere in particular was built for snow being at over 2000 metres with north-west facing slopes and extensive snowmaking.

What to Expect After Surgery for Laryngeal Cancer
After surgery for laryngeal cancer, it may take time for you to get back to breathing, eating, drinking, and speaking.
The Stoma and Your Breathing
During the surgery, the surgeon likely made a cut in your neck and into your trachea, called a tracheostomy. This opening is called a stoma, and it's held open with a tube you breathe through, called a tracheostomy (trach) tube.
After surgery, your lungs and windpipe make a lot of mucus, also called sputum. To remove the sputum, a nurse applies suction with a small plastic tube placed in the stoma. Soon, you learn to cough and suction mucus through the stoma without the nurse's help. It may also be necessary to suction saliva from your mouth if swelling in your throat makes it hard to swallow.
Normally, the tissues of your nose and throat moisten air before it reaches your windpipe. After surgery, air enters your trachea directly through the stoma and cannot be moistened in the same way. While in the hospital, you are kept comfortable with a special device that goes over the stoma and adds moisture to the air. After your discharge from the hospital, you may use a piece of light fabric to cover the stoma to protect your airway from dust and particles in the air. You must take care to keep the stoma from drying out and to keep foreign substances or water from getting into it. With a stoma, you cannot hold your breath so activities that require straining or holding your breath may be difficult.
Getting Back to Breathing on Your Own
After a partial laryngectomy, you will breathe through the stoma for several days. Then the trach tube is removed from the stoma. Within the next few weeks, the stoma closes. You then breathe and speak in the usual way, although your voice may not sound the same as before.
In a complete laryngectomy, the stoma is permanent. You will breathe, cough, and sneeze through the stoma and have to learn to talk in a new way. The trach tube stays in place for a couple of weeks, until your skin around the stoma heals. Some people continue to use the tube all or part of the time. If it is removed, a smaller tracheostomy button, also called a stoma button, usually replaces the tube. After a while, some people do not use a tube or a button in the stoma.
Getting Back to Eating on Your Own
For a few days after surgery, you will not be able to eat or drink. At first, you'll get nutrients through a tube into one of your veins, called intravenous feeding.
In a day or two, your digestive tract returns to normal, but you will not be able to swallow because your throat will not have healed. You'll get foods and liquids through a feeding tube that goes through your nose and throat to your stomach. The surgeon places this tube during surgery. It will be taken out when your throat heals so that you can swallow again and take in enough food through your mouth to maintain your weight.
Swallowing may be hard at first, and you may need the help of a nurse or speech pathologist to learn how to swallow again. Over a period of time, you will return to a regular diet.
Other Adjustments
After a laryngectomy, parts of your neck and throat may be numb because nerves may have been cut during surgery. If you had surgery to remove lymph nodes in your neck, your shoulder and neck may be weak and become stiff. A physical therapist can help you with special exercises if this happens. Scarves and other neck coverings may be used to cover the stoma.
Aside from the obvious physical changes you'll adjust to, expect that you will have significant emotional challenges as well. There is usually a lot of activity and support before cancer surgery. You may be overwhelmed with decisions and organizing appointments and treatments. But, after surgery, the activity and attention may slow down as you heal, leaving you feeling alone. It's also common to worry about cancer coming back or death. Joining a support group of others who have been through a cancer diagnosis and treatment may help. Seek professional counseling to help manage your feelings. And finally, find comfort in the fact that many others have undergone similar diagnosis and treatment.

THERE AIN'T NONE! I saw one, once but it died I think.
O.k, its not that bad but its been a tough season so far. Not many birds under 3 years old this year.
And those 3 year olds are always with the ladys and even if their not, their not gobbling very much at all. In the last 3 years I've killed a 22lb,21lb, and a 24lb turkey, respectfully. Not this year.
It is kindof like the bucks in this area, the turkeys don't seem to have to compete for their ladys or territory. Poor hatch success the last two years, I think. Gotta pass on those jakes this spring and fall to make next spring better. And pray for a dryer spring this year. I did call in a gobbler last weekend for a friend on his land. Got him to 40 yards after 20 minutes of watching him strut across all the way across a 40 acre field. He came out from my left and my buddy was on my right 10 yards away. It was too far for his shotgun. Plus we thought he would keep coming. Just then another hunter top the hill behind the gobbler, sending it air born right over our heads. After watching him land 100 yards away and walk out of sight we noticed the hunter. He came to within 30 yards of our decoys before realizing they weren't real. It was funny watching him "sneak" in on those plastic birds. It turned out to be my buddys cousin, who had permission to hunt but let no one know he was coming.
O'well, thats hunting I guess. But very frustrating because I could have killed it at 40 yards. One more point, he never gobbled. Like boxer in the ring alone...Just no reason to throw a punch.

Prosecutors have charged a restaurateur with attempted murder for allegedly trying to induce his then-girlfriend to miscarry, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said Wednesday.
Joshua Woodward, 40, pleaded not guilty to four counts of attempted, willful and premeditated murder. Prosecutors say Woodward used the drug misoprostol on four occasions in fall 2009 to induce his then-girlfriend to miscarry.
Woodward's attorney said his client had nothing to do with the woman's miscarriage.
"The evidence presented against Mr. Woodward is so weak and virtually non-existent. I am sure we will be able to prove Mr. Woodward's innocence," Mark Werksman said in a written statement.
A judge set bail at $4 million, a news release from the district attorney's office said.
Woodward, who lives in Florida, is scheduled for a bail review hearing on Thursday afternoon.
According to the National Institutes of Health, misoprostol is used to treat ulcers or to induce labor. It can also be combined with mifepristone to end a pregnancy in its early stages, the agency's website says.
Woodward faces up to life in prison, prosecutors said.
He was co-owner of restaurants in Los Angeles and Miami Beach that have since closed.

Tour de France 1962
by Graeme Fife
The French national team, to whom unity of purpose and harmony of spirit were generally alien concepts, had dominated the Tour of 1961. Victory for Jacques Anquetil, his second Tour win, was far from popular. On the queen stage over the four Pyrenean giants – Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet and Aubisque – Belgium's Eddy Pauwels, 'the man who never smiled', was given his head. The Gallic myrmidons, meanwhile, closed ranks round Anquetil, their own unsmiling chief, and set a sedate tempo which none challenged. Jacques Goddet, the race organiser, was livid, lambasting the gutless opposition as "…frightful dwarfs, impotent, resigned to and satisfied with their own mediocrity". This was surely unjust: the Maître was at his apogee, the French team solid, compact and impervious. In total they won twelve stages, the green jersey (André Darrigade) and overall yellow – no easy kill.
The following October, a ghost of controversy appeared like Banquo at the feast, finally materialising from the fog of Tour politics after six years' rumbling: the matter of trade teams. The overweening strength of the French team meant that their riders gorged richly at the top table of prizes and left the lesser combines mere scraps. The principal objection against handing any control to trade interests was one first voiced by the martinet Henri Desgrange and now echoed by his successor, Goddet. Specifically, the fear of blatant commercial exploitation and cynical manipulation of the race. Goddet had expressed his own opposition in 1958, in the columns of Miroir:
"You know what my plans are and I aim to put them into practice as swiftly as possible. That is to give the Tour de France an all-embracing international aspect. To that end, whatever the cost, I stick by the principle of national teams, for they alone are capable of extending the field of relations with foreign countries, notably those of Eastern Europe whose representatives I hope will soon be participating in our race. I remain resolutely opposed to trade teams in the present anarchic situation. I will only revise my opinion in the event that a change in the rules of the sport is outlined and detailed which totally guarantees the moral and sporting honesty of cycling."
At the heart of Goddet's objection was the fear that powerful trade lobbies might assemble teams composed of highly-paid star riders of different nationalities.
Such specialist overall contenders – green jersey men, climbers and so on – would effectively nullify the race (there was already rumour of a team including Gaul and Anquetil) and Goddet insisted national identity remained the core character of the Tour. The groundswell of opinion, however, proved irresistible.
Whereas a national team comprised the best talent a given country could offer, a trade team must, inevitably, be a mongrel, the best riders available to the purse from whatever corner they might come. One prominent journalist wedded to the national principal, Maurice Vidal, taunted the organisers for even entertaining the debate. How would commercialism vouchsafe more honest dealing? Rather, sporting ethics would merely pass from the riders to the accountants. "The Tour de France" he wrote "always proudly erected a barrier against meretricious dealing. The last dyke has been breached. The consequences will be dire…."
In reality, the Tour had been cradled in commercialism since birth. A publicity stunt created to sell newspapers, the most cogent argument for the switch to trade teams – that it would annul the gross advantage of a rider backed by a powerful national combine – was bound to prevail over Goddet's League of Nations idealism. How many riders could Luxembourg muster to back their own potential winner Charly Gaul, for example? And so the change was made. The proof of the new formula's efficacy came in a field for 1962 which boasted a galaxy of outstanding riders, unleashed from the trammels of national duty and able to profess their ambition under the colours of a commercial marque. Among them a neophyte, one Raymond Poulidor. He arrived with a fractured left wrist, but still rode. His legendary rivalry with Anquetil would almost certainly never have established itself under the old system.
The French supplied a certain continuum – internal wrangling. Rudi Altig, wearing the same classy red, white and blue Saint-Raphaël jersey as Anquetil, claimed precedence. Anquetil had made a poor showing in the Vuelta (run in May at that time) and the German Altig, who'd won the Spanish tour, wanted to be sole leader. The team boss, Raphaël Geminiani, settled the issue with what later became routine Tour prevarication: the road would decide. Leave it a week and then he, the boss, would make the selection. Altig asked, reasonably, what they were supposed to do for the first week? Gem played the long game. As he let things drift, Altig took two stages but, Gem told him, brilliant baroudeur and coureur as he was, the mountains would always cut him down to size. He was no overall winner and the team needed to play to its strengths. In the end, the road really would decide and in particular the clock. In the first time-trial, Anquetil took 46 seconds out of him. Altig came 31st at the finish, won another stage, wore yellow for five days and green overall. Tommy Simpson became the first Briton to wear yellow, for a day, while in a magnificent show of strength and defiance in the Alps, over the hard cols of the Chartreuse, Poulidor became 'Poupou'. He rode into Aix-les-Bains with over three minutes on all the big hitters – including Jozef Planckaert in yellow – climbing to third overall, his eventual finishing position in Paris. Anquetil won.
In the final ride against the clock, the Frenchman stripped the nearest rider of nearly three minutes, Planckaert of more than five, and with them the yellow jersey as he had promised. It was, too, an undoubted victory for the switch to a form of sponsorship which better reflected the nature of the professional sport. No system can be wholly fair. Money, of course, buys class. But a system which promotes a true elite rather than the elite of limited choice, as some weaker national and regional cadres were unavoidably faced with, is more in tune with the demands of a Tour de France in which there is more than the one race to lone triumph. Henri Desgrange's essential ingredients for victory – head and legs – still hold true but there are lesser prizes to be had. On the pursuit and winning of these depends the continuing richness of this infinitely varied event.

The semis saw an increase in the surf and many of the usual suspects were charging toward the final while other BWWT newcomers battled for the remaining slots. The standouts of the round were Gabriel Villaran, Jamie Sterling, Greg Long, Ben Wilkinson, Joao De Macedo, and Aaron Ungerleider. The final started at 4:15 pm with only 1 and 1/2 hours sunlight remaining. The final saw the largest and most critical waves of the day. Jamie Sterling stepped it up and collected two excellent scores, a 9 (best wave doubled) and 8.5 to receive a total of 26.5 out of 30. "I'm stoked to have won. I love the wave… That's why I'm here.

More High School Sports Stories
Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will miss four to five weeks, according to GM Jarmo Kekalainen, after an MRI today revealed he suffered a strained groin in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay.
It's a staggering blow for the Blue Jackets, who have been treading water for weeks in the Metropolitan Division. Bobrovsky, who won the Vezina Trophy last season, has been the backbone of the club since the mid-point of last season, when coach Todd Richards deemed him the No. 1 goaltender over Steve Mason.
Curtis McElhinney will start Friday against the Minnesota Wild in Nationwide Arena and until further notice. The Blue Jackets recalled Mike McKenna from AHL Springfield earlier today to serve as McElhinney's back-up.
If Bobrovsky misses four weeks, he'll miss 12 games and return on Jan. 2. If he misses five weeks, he'll be out for 15 games with a return on Jan. 10.
It's the latest injury blow for the Blue Jackets, who have suffered 105 man-games lost through Tuesday's game. Currently, right wings Marian Gaborik, Nathan Horton and Jared Boll, center Derek MacKenzie and, now, Bobrovsky are on the shelf.
There's a chance MacKenzie could return Friday vs. the Wild. Boll could return next week.
-- Aaron Portzline
twitter: @aportzline
Even after 12 games, there are still plenty of questions about Ohio State and Michigan State. Tim May and Bill Rabinowitz examine some of those issues ahead of Saturday's Big Ten Championship game.
The Blue Jackets have recalled goaltender Mike McKenna from AHL Springfield this morning in the wake of last night's injury to Sergei Bobrovsky. Until further notice, the Blue Jackets' goaltending tandem is starter Curtis McElhinney, with McKenna his backup.
Bobrovsky was scheduled to have an MRI at 1 p.m. today, but it's possible the Blue Jackets won't have a full prognosis for his return until a few days from now. Coach Todd Richards confirmed that McElhinney will start on Friday when the Blue Jackets host the Minnesota Wild in Nationwide Arena.
McElhinney is 1-3-1 with a 2.34 goals-against average and .925 save percentage this season. His goals-against and save percentage are significantly better than Bobrovsky's (2.72 / .909), albeit in limited duty.
"Based on Curtis's play, and what I've seen this season, there's nothing ... to suggest that I'm expecting bad things," Richards said. "In the games that he's played, he's played well."
The Blue Jackets beat Tampa Bay 1-0 tonight on the strength of Nick Foligno's did-you-just-see-that? goal at 4:30 of the second period.
But what about Bob?
Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky had made 18 saves and was trending toward his second shutout of the season. But at 4:13 of the third, he used his glove to snuff out a J.T. Brown breakaway, then toppled to the ice and stayed there, flat on his belly.
Roar. Then … gulp.
Bobrovsky was helped off the ice by two teammates, putting no weight on his left leg. An MRI awaits on Wednesday.
"Obviously it was a leg injury, and when he comes out like that you're a bit unsure," Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said. "I don't know if we'll have an answer today, but within the next few days we'll have a better idea (of how serious it is)."
The Blue Jackets are not commenting further. Neither are those in Bobrovsky's camp.
It's unclear if Bobrovsky was hurt
Five things we learned from Don Garber's state of the league press conference today.
1. Miami and Atlanta are the frontrunners for the next two expansion franchises.
With New York City FC and Orlando City both already in the fold, Major League Soccer is
making a major push into the southeast. And although both situations present problems, Garber
indicated that Miami and Atlanta are the most likely candidates for teams 22 and 23.
Brandon Dubinsky didn't feel fortunate at the time. Just after impact, the pain that radiated from his lower left leg was excruciating and worrying as he left the ice in Edmonton on Nov. 19.
But then Dubinsky saw the replay, saw the awkward angle his leg took in absorbing the equal but opposite energy.
"Looking at it, it could have been much worse," said Dubinsky, who marveled last week that he suffered neither a broken ankle nor a high-ankle sprain. "I'm thankful for that.
"At the same time, you never want to miss any time, so that was tough watching over the last couple of weeks."
After missing six games, Dubinsky will return tonight when the Blue Jackets host the Tampa Bay Lightning at 7 in Nationwide Arena.
Is he 100 percent?
"I feel good," Dubinsky said. "Ready to go."
No, no. Are you 100 percent? ...

The menstrual cycle is divided into phases. Each phase describes events that happen in the ovaries that lead to ovulation and menses.
The first half of the menstrual cycle is called the follicular phase. During this time, the ovary makes a follicle, a small unit that houses the egg and releases estrogen. Hormones from the pituitary gland coordinate events so that when it is ready, the egg is released (ovulation). The length of the follicular phase may vary. This is why there can be differences in a woman's cycle from month to month.
After ovulation, the second or luteal phase of the cycle begins. The follicle becomes a corpus luteum. This is a small structure that continues to release estrogen. It makes progesterone too. If the egg is fertilized (the beginning of pregnancy), the corpus luteum lasts several weeks. If pregnancy does not happen, the corpus luteum dissolves, hormone levels go down, and menses starts. In normal cycles, the luteal phase is consistently 14 days long.
Menses is the most obvious event of the cycle, so it is used for counting. The first day of the period is day 1 of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation happens 14 days before menses begins. Still, the time of the next ovulation after a menses can vary by several days. So if you are tracking your cycles to determine when you're fertile, you must count your cycles for several months. You then determine the beginning and end of the fertile period by subtracting 18 days from your shortest cycle, and 11 days from your longest cycle.
If your cycles vary, there are more reliable ways to know when you're ovulating. One way is to monitor your basal body temperature (BBT). A very accurate thermometer is used to measure your temperature upon awakening. The BBT is plotted daily on a graph. With ovulation, a rise in temperature of about 0.5-1 degree happens. An even more accurate method is to use kits that measure changes in hormone levels in the urine that happen just before you ovulate.

Famous artists who haven't won Grammys

In Familiar Dilemma, Town of Lee Weighs Options for Old Mill Buildings
Melissa Provencher of the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission says potential developers may be wary of environmental hazards they wouldn't uncover until after purchasing the property.
"We're talking about properties that may or may not be contaminated, that have the potential for contamination or perception that it may be contaminated. And any time it's an industrial mill building like this, there's going to be some level of question."
Though cities like North Adams and nearby Hudson, New York have successfully found creative uses for inactive industrial sites, Lee is one of many towns who've had trouble. A developer purchased one of Lee's empty mills in 2010, but then put it back up for sale last year after abandoning plans to build a mixed-use development. A similar plan in Housatonic collapsed last year after extensive talks.
A new grant from the Environmental Protection Agency will fund a two-year study of three former Lee mills, plus another in adjacent Lenox Dale.
Lee Selectman David Consolati wants the three properties to house employers who could counter troubling demographic trends.
Consolati says the town is in talks with a new developer who is interested in one of the mills, and hopes to have news on that by the end of the month.

A V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale ), also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
A Cognac may be sold only when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age. Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
Note that VSOP can be very good cognacs and some of them can be superior to many XOs. Some of the best value Cognacs are indeed VSOPs

The Gloup - A dramatic collapsed sea-cave separated from the sea by a land bridge about 80 yards wide, It is approximately 40 yards long and 80 feet deep. Gloup comes from the Old Norse "gluppa" -a chasm- the local name for a blow hole. The Gloup is a 200 yard walk from the car park (complete with interpretation centre and toilets) though it is unfenced and great care is required. It is possible to navigate and enter the Gloup in a small boat from the sea. Details of boat hire are available at the tourist offices.
Mull Head Nature Reserve - An area of over 200 acres of coastal grassland, heath and sea cliff providing opportunity for walking, bird-watching and nature study. A comprehensive path network stretches from the Covenanters Memorial on the North coast to the Gloup on the west coast; circular walks of between 4 and 8 km are signposted from the Gloup Car Park. Features of interest on the reserve include the archaeological remains of a Norse settlement and church on the Brough of Deerness and sea cliffs, home to many seabirds.

Bienvenue à Montreal! Now that's hospitality with a distinctly French flavor - and what could be more appropriate for the second largest French-speaking metropolis in the world? But French is only one of 35 or so languages you will hear on the streets of this international island city of 1.6 million inhabitants (more than 3.6 million if you include the suburban neighborhoods).
Demographics show that Montreal residents come from 80 countries, forming an urban mosaic of vibrant ethnic communities and neighborhoods safe to walk in day or night. Visitors will detect a distinct British influence in parts of the city, inherent in the culture since the days when English merchants controlled the city's trade. All in all, it's easy to see why "cosmopolitan" is the adjective most used in describing Montreal.
Characteristically, there'is the famous joie de vivre - the ineffable combination of spirit and ambiance Montrealers exude without even trying. You will see it in the summertime cappuccino-sippers cramming sidewalk cafes; in the long lines outside Schwartz's , home to the city's best smoked meat; and in the lovers holding hands on Mount Royal , the city's parkland mountain rising 264 meters (866 feet). The same spirit can even be felt on an outdoor skating rink in the dead of winter, in the tuxedoed crowd listening raptly to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra (Orchestre symphonique de Montreal), or when hockey fanatics at the Bell Centre scream and pump their fists in unison with every Montreal Canadiens goal.
What makes Montreal one of the world's truly great cities? It starts with its location. The island sits at the confluence of three rivers: the mighty St. Lawrence, the Rivière des Prairies and the Ottawa. Montrealers describe their streets as going north-south and east-west, but the island itself is askew, tilted to the northeast.
The Main (La Main)
Splitting the city in half, both physically and psychologically, is Saint Laurent Boulevard - The Main , as it is affectionately known. It is here where waves of immigrants first settled upon their arrival in the New World. Reminders of the past still abound in family-run Polish delis tucked beside upscale restaurants and in dollar stores located next door to swank billiard emporiums. This is ground zero for the city's addresses (streets number east and west from St-Laurent) and, historically, this was the demarcation line between English and French Montreal, with the French predominating to the east and the English to the west.
These days, the dividing line is no longer completely rigid, but there are still distinct English and French areas. You will find the English restaurant and bar scene concentrated on Bishop Street and Crescent Street ; the French on St-Denis Street and areas east in the Latin Quarter (Quartier Latin) and Gay Village . The traditional French residential areas are tightly packed districts that stretch all the way to the Olympic Park (Parc Olympique) and Hochelaga-Maisonneuve ; English becomes more noticeable as you move west, culminating in the affluent suburb of Westmount.
Old Montreal (Vieux-Montreal)
At the southern end of St-Laurent Boulevard , past, lies the historic district of Old Montreal (Vieux-Montreal), a major tourist attraction with its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn calèche rides and Old Port (Vieux-Port) activities. This is where, in 1642, the city's first European settlers staked their claim to a land they thought was theirs by divine right. You can still see the remnants of their original fortifications, and you can check out artifacts from the period at the Montreal History Centre (Centre d'histoire de Montreal) as well as the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of archaeology and history. Also found here are the oldest buildings in Montreal, with some, such as the Sainte-Sulpice Seminary (Vieux Seminaire Saint-Sulpice), dating back to the late 17th Century.
Montreal Islands
Across the St-Lawrence River, the Expo 67 islands of Ste-Helène and Notre-Dame still glitter from when Montreal hosted the World's Fair in 1967. Today the site is home to La Ronde amusement park, the Gilles Villeneuve Racetrack (Circuit Gilles Villeneuve) and Montreal's world-class Casino .
Plateau Mont-Royal
On the other end of The Main is the Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood, unusual in that it encompasses both ethnic shops and restaurants on Parc Avenue as well as the hip Francophone crowd along St-Denis Street . This is Canada's most densely populated area, and its smaller streets, with their winding staircases and small BYOW (bring your own wine) restaurants, remain a picture of true Montreal life.
Little Italy (Petite Italie)
Just a little further north and you will hear Italian spoken on Montreal's streets over in the city's own Little Italy , the original home of the first Italian immigrants and now one of the liveliest areas in the city with its espresso bars, boutiques and authentic Italian cuisine.
Underground City (RÉSO)
No visit to Montreal is complete without a visit to the Underground City - Montreal-above-ground has been described as the tip of the urban iceberg. Beneath it lies the world's most extensive system of interconnected pedestrian and Metro (subway) networks, linking buildings, boutiques, restaurants and even residential apartments. You could spend an entire winter in this subterranean city without ever once having to face the cold or snow.
The Metro system itself has lines running east-west and north-south (albeit, askew) to just about every part of the city. While you are down there, check out the 68 architecturally unique stations, each created by a different designer.

Montreal is the second biggest French-speaking city in the world, but you wouldn't necessarily know it based on its restaurants. Its incredible assortment of ethnic cuisines gives an accurate reflection of the myriad of cultures that contribute to the city's vibrancy, although unlike some other large North American centers, eateries here tend not to cluster according to cuisine type.
Old Montreal (Vieux-Montreal)
Old Montreal is home to one of the city's most popular French restaurants, Toque! . Normand Laprise's fusion masterpiece has garnered international attention while draining the coffers of the gastronomic elite. Eggspectation , a popular brunch spot, is a modern operation that boasts massive portions and glitzy decor. Unfortunately, this establishments sports ponderous lines on Sunday starting at around 10a. On the bright side, this good-natured eatery serves as a great place to soak up local atmosphere and gossip.
Plateau Mont-Royal
The Plateau Mont-Royal is an area of older residential buildings and is home to thousands of students, artists and young professionals. The Boulevard Saint-Laurent's trendy clubs and pubs mingle with dozens of restaurants that run the gamut from upscale, decor-first hotspots ( Buona Notte ) to innovative sandwich shops ( Grano ), and from the cheap Italian fare at Euro-Deli to the steaks and buckets of coleslaw at Moishe's . If you are unsure where to go, following the crowds on Saint-Laurent is a safe bet.
A 10-minute walk east from Saint-Laurent will bring you to charming and bustling rue Saint-Denis , which is not to be missed especially during the summer. This is perhaps Montreal's most Parisian thoroughfare, offering restaurants, bars and cafes, most with cozy patios shoe-horned in wherever they can possibly fit. You could easily spend hours watching the world go by over a cafe au lait, a beer or a meal.
Despite a number of ethnic restaurants, Plateau Mont-Royal is home to several traditional French eateries such as Les Halles where one can find traditional, buttery fare and old-guard opulence, and L'Express , which lays claim to the best steak-and-frites. These restaurants can be found in the restaurant-rich strip between rue Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal Avenue, along with scores of smaller establishments of every conceivable ethnicity.
Brunches or late breakfasts are extremely popular ways to start the day, though whether this is a wholesome tradition or the result of a weekend's heroic consumption of cocktails is up for debate. Mont-Royal Avenue is home to Beauty's , the oldest and best-known brunch spot. If you'd rather grab a quick breakfast bite on your way to work, then try these two bakeries in the Mile-End part of Plateau Mont-Royal: the Fairmount or the Saint-Viateur . These two bakeries are known for their bagels. The Montreal bagel, a skinnier and less polished version of the New York variety, is an economical staple.
For a reasonable priced lunch, try Schwartz's Delicatessen . The city's large Jewish community has also contributed heavily to the local cuisine. While comparing Montreal Smoked Meat to pastrami is sure to raise the hackles of any traditionalist, no visitor should neglect to visit these cramped, dingy quarters.
The narrow, residential streets of the Plateau also conceal some gems, most notably a tight-knit community of French bistros where patrons are invited to bring their own wine. Exemplified by Le P'tit Plateau , Bistro l'Entrepont and Au Petit Resto , these intimate, romantic spots serve some of the best food in the city at table d'hôte prices rarely exceeding CAD20. They are great places at which to appreciate local life and practice your French. Prince Arthur Street , located between Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Avenue Laval, also offers many BYOW (bring your own wine) options; however, with a few exceptions (notably the stick-to-your-ribs Polish fare at Mazurka ), the food at these heavily tourist-oriented establishments is fairly middle-of-the-road.
Downtown, many bars and restaurants are found on rue Crescent and rue Bishop . In the past, this was where the Anglophones came to eat, drink and be merry. This area overflows with tourists in summer, so it is best to know where you are going before you go; mediocre food is an unfortunate but avoidable fact of life here, as are high prices. Other downtown hotspots include the Old Dublin , which whips up great pub grub and fiddles each night away with live music.
And no trip Downtown is complete without a visit to the chic Golden Square Mile section where you will find the fancy Ritz Carlton hotel which houses the popular bistro, Cafe de Paris .
Though hardly comparable to the Spanish or Italian, Montrealers do eat late, especially on weekends. Most restaurants will be open to diners by 6:30p, but it's best to make reservations for 8p or later if you want company. Downtown hotels tend to direct their guests toward downtown restaurants and nightlife, not out of any animosity or collusion but simply because many tourists are reluctant to venture farther afield. The key to enjoying the hundreds of restaurants and bars that the city has to offer is to be adventurous; you are unlikely to be disappointed.

Consider this your official invitation.
getting married
Why be heteronormative when you can be bizarrofunative?
Of course all brides are out of control, ready to spin off into the stratosphere at the slightest provocation, and you might need to take them down with a few ketamine darts if things get hairy.
a ring is not a marriage
Look, Jane's just lucky I didn't title this piece "If I'd Liked It, Then I Would Have Put a Ring On It"!

I indulged my best pal's request. But I don't think I should ever do this again.

A 15-year-old McHenry teen is being credited with saving the lives of more than 20 horses during a barn fire in unincorporated McHenry County, Wednesday.Madison Walraf was driving to the stables with her family to go riding when she saw the smoke rising. Fearing for the life of her horse, Red, she called 911 and ran over to the fire. In addition to saving Red's life, the brave girl helped evacuate an estimated 25 horses. Although many were saved, 18 horses died in the fire.
A proposal, House Bill 3899, introduced late last year by state Rep. Arthur Turner (D-Chicago) would allow for non-violent offenders who have already served at least 60 days of their sentence to be released as long as they meet certain criteria while imprisoned. A similar bill, SB2621, has also been introduced in the state Senate.
John Maki, who heads the John Howard Association of Illinois, supports the return of the state's "meritorious good time" (MGT) program, which Gov. Pat Quinn eliminated two years ago in the midst of his Democratic primary.
Assistant Police Chief Steve Lucchesi said the woman suffered a slight injury to her left arm, but declined treatment from paramedics who responded to the scene.
Another resident of the home, a 62-year-old man, was also duct-taped to a chair but uninjured in the invasion.
U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-Ill.), standing in for the still recovering U.S. Senator Mark Kirk, on Wednesday delivered a report on the state's financial health. And the news, according to Hultgren, is not good. "Last year, the General Assembly raised taxes on hardworking Illinoisans, but the statistics reported today make it clear that Illinois cannot tax its way back to prosperity," Hultgren said in a statement announcing the updated report. "Illinois cannot afford to continue on its current path -- and Washington will not bail the state out."
