Washington, DC Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Each weekday morning the Washington Journal highlights specific taxes, deductions, and budgetary programs that will be impacted if the country goes off the so-called "fiscal cliff." Wednesday, we look at Social Security.
Associated Press Reporter Stephen Ohlemacher discussed how Congressional leaders plan to handle Social Security as part of "fiscal" cliff talks. While the chief issue in the talks centers on the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), other issues such as the funding of social security and its solvency will be discussed.
Then, AARP Consumer Affairs and Financial Security Director Cristina Martin Firvida and Heritage Foundation Senior Research Fellow David John talked about Social Security's role in the "fiscal cliff" discussions, including possible changes to cost of living adjustments (COLA), the program's solvency, and Republican and Democratic proposals for the program.

i know about the hooker but other than that man i just made a random thread lol
i know about the hooker but other than that man i just made a random thread lol
It would be great if the game came with a guarantee of a girlfriend. Not many video games do that.
If only life was that easy...
i think that vito should have girlfriend but it should be scripted. like with sarah in 1st mafia.
If there is.. I think it will be scripted. Not like in gta. that's lame anyway xD I always end up killing her in gta :E
yeah that was lame. it wasnt serious game just a game to have fun nothing more. not a mature story thing etc. like i hope mafia 2 will be.
Yeah I have gta,great to have fun but lol I love when I killed michelle
I think that would be cool, i just hope there is no nudity, that would take a very immature step, for a game that is very adult.
The only thing I am leery about is being forced into a romantic relationship with an annoying character due to storyline constraints. A prime example would be Kate McReary in Grand Theft Auto IV.
If Mafia 2 gets GF It would be great!
I am a little leary about the idea of girlfriends I still remember how much of a pain in the a%& it was for GTA SA.
honestly... i don't want this game drifting off on side stuff like this.
if they are a part of the story, then i would not mind (which i would not be surprised if they where (at least a little) ) but i just dont want this feature just for the sake of having it... since this game aint GTA etc.
because having it like how GTA did would drift off to much from the main story and i like Mafia the way it is... which is sticking to the story and playing through the game (with minimal side stuff like how you could get bonus cars in the first game by helping Lucas out)
just remember this is not mafia 1...
ye well but it wont be "mission only" style like mafia 1

More Mali towns marked by fighting, airstrikesBy RUKMINI CALLIMACHI
and BABA AHMED
THE Associated Press | January 18,2013AP PHOTO
French soldiers conduct operations in the bush near Niono, in central Mali, on Thursday. Fighting raged in one Mali town, airstrikes hit another and army troops raced to protect a third on Thursday.BAMAKO, Mali French special forces inched closer to an al-Qaida-held town, fighting erupted in another center and army troops raced to protect a third, as the Islamic extremists controlling northern Mali ceded no ground Thursday, digging into the areas they already occupy and sending out scouts to widen their reach.
Banamba, a town just 90 miles from the capital, Bamako, was put on alert overnight and a contingent of roughly 100 Malian soldiers sped there on Thursday after a reported sighting of jihadists in the vicinity, the closest the extremists have come to the seat of government of this West African country, officials said.
France has encountered fierce resistance from the extremist groups, whose tentacles extend not only over a territory the size of Afghanistan in Mali, but also another 600 miles to the east in Algeria, where fighters belonging to a cell in Mali stormed a BP-operated plant and took dozens of foreigners hostages, including Americans in retaliation for the French-led military operation in Mali. They demanded the immediate end of the hostilities in Mali, with one commander, Oumar Ould Hamaha, saying that they are now globalizing the conflict in revenge for the military assault on Malian soil.
The first Malian troops arrived in Banamba late Wednesday, with a second group coming on Thursday. The small town northeast of Bamako is connected by a secondary road to the garrison town of Diabaly, which was taken by Islamic extremists earlier this week, and has been the scene of intense fighting with French military, as French troops continued to move closer, following another night of airstrikes.
To the south of Banamba, flanked by emerald rice fields, and crisscrossed by irrigation canals, is the first government-held city, Niono. And another 75 miles south is Segou, one of the largest towns in Mali, and the administrative capital of its central region. As refugees from Diabaly continued to flee south, authorities announced a state of alert including the closure of the largest road after sundown, fearing that the al-Qaida-linked fighters would try to infiltrate the towns in the south.
Starting at 6 p.m. tomorrow night, the road between Segou and Niono, the M33 highway, will be closed, said the Prefect of Niono Seydou Traore. Neither cars, nor motorcycles, nor people on foot will be able to travel, as a security measure.
A city official in Banamba who insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press, said they had received reports that a rebel convoy had left Diabaly on the road headed to Banamba.
We dont have a (military) base here, we have no defenses. So the military has come to secure the town, he said. No jihadists have entered our town. But there are reports that a column (of rebel vehicles) was seen heading toward us from Diabaly.
France has stepped up its involvement every day, after launching the first air raids last Friday in an effort to stop the rebels advance. On Thursday, it increased its troop strength to 1,400, said French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
The actions of French forces, be it air forces or ground forces, are ongoing, said Le Drian in Paris. They took place yesterday, they took place last night, they took place today, they will take place tomorrow.
After a meeting in Brussels of European Union foreign ministers, Malian Foreign Minister Tieman Hubert Coulibaly said it was necessary to mobilize the entire international community to help Mali and the region.
What is happening in Mali is a global threat, Coulibaly told journalists at a press conference. Remember what happened on Sept. 11, he said, referring to the terrorist attacks in the United States. It is that terrorism can happen anywhere, at any moment, to anyone.
He pointed out that the hostage-taking in Algeria revealed to the world the true nature of the extremists. At least 34 of the hostages and 15 kidnappers were killed on Thursday, after Algerian helicopters strafed the remote Sahara gas plant, located in far eastern Algeria, according to the Nouakchott Information Agency, which carries reports from al-Qaidas groups in Africa.
France remains alone as the only foreign power with boots on the ground, though on Thursday, a contingent of around 100 Togolese soldiers arrived at the airport. Nigerian troops from the countrys Battalion 1 are also expected in coming hours, though its unclear whether the African forces will take part in the land assault.
EU foreign ministers on Thursday approved sending a military training mission to Mali, which will train local soldiers and provide advice, though they will not take part in combat.
On Wednesday, around 100 French Marines took over a major bridge over a large, turbulent river just north of the central administrative capital of Segou at the locality of Markala.MORE IN Wire NewsCONCORD, N.H.

What Mechanical Engineers Do
Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test mechanical devices, including tools, engines, and machines.
Work Environment
Mechanical engineers generally work in professional office settings. They may occasionally visit worksites where a problem or piece of equipment needs their personal attention. Mechanical engineers work mostly in engineering services, research and development, manufacturing industries, and the federal government.
How to Become a Mechanical Engineer
Mechanical engineers need a bachelor's degree. A graduate degree is typically needed for promotion into managerial positions. Mechanical engineers who sell services publicly must be licensed in all states and the District of Columbia.
The median annual wage of mechanical engineers was $78,160 in May 2010.
Job Outlook
Employment of mechanical engineers is expected to grow 9 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. Job prospects may be best for those who stay abreast of the most recent advances in technology.

Published Winter 2013 By Rachel Strutt, Boston Magazine
Steve Dean with Winthrop Construction, right, signals to Larry Brisbois as they slowly lower a 3,000-pound mirror cell onto its mount at the new site of an observatory that once sat on Rattlesnake Mountain. The Advancement of Science Through Astronomy, or AASTA, had been looking for a new home for the observatory when the Department of Energy ordered it removed from the top of Rattlesnake Mountain in 2008. Volunteers have been working to refurbish and find a new home for the 0.8-meter Cassegrain telescope. (RICHARD DICKIN/Tri
As sole owner of Tuck & Holand Metal Sculptors, the burly, affable Holand fashions nautically themed weathervanes featuring everything from ships and humpback whales to schools of striped bass and lobsters—even great white sharks. It was a shark, in fact, that started the business. When the producers of Jaws were filming on Martha's Vineyard in 1974, they contacted local artisan Travis Tuck to craft a copper weathervane depicting a man-eating great white. (In the film, the vane spun ominously atop the shack of crusty fisherman Quint. It's now in L.A. with Joe Alves, the movie's production designer.) Decades later, Tuck brought then-22-year-old Holand on as his apprentice, and eventually, the two became partners. When Tuck passed away in 2002, Holand took over the business.
"I first came to Massachusetts to avoid working on the family farm out in Washington State," Holand says with a laugh. He was already familiar with bronze casting and sculpture from working in the foundry at Columbia Basin College, where he studied business—and snuck into as many art classes as possible.
Once on the island, Tuck introduced Holand to repoussé, a metalworking technique that involves hammering on the reverse side of the piece to create a low-relief design. It was the technique used to fashion Tutankhamun's mummy mask as well as the Statue of Liberty.
Before Holand begins crafting a piece, he meets with the client to finalize the details of the subject, whether it's a pair of WWII fighter planes, an antique car, or a sultry mermaid. Next he sketches a full-size paper pattern, which he'll later archive for future projects. After cutting the necessary shapes from a sheet of copper, Holand fires up his blowtorch and heats the pieces until they are red hot and malleable—a process called annealing. Then he patiently coaxes the copper into a three-dimensional form, tapping it from behind on a wooden block to create curves and subtle textures, fusing pieces together, and re-annealing along the way. The process takes an incredible amount of patience and artistry.
"Sometimes you have to make your own tools to achieve the right effect," Holand says. "For a school of fish I made recently, I had to make a new chisel tip to create the right look for the fins. I realized this wasn't the sort of thing I would find in my local hardware store."
Holand delights in the details of his work, a trait that can sometimes bring out his devilish side. Recalling a certain hunting-dog weathervane he crafted, Holand explains, "I got it down to his balls, so to speak. All his goodies were there. My clients loved it. When I delivered it to them, they said, 'Look! They're on there!'"
The mix of meticulous craftsmanship, creativity, and whimsy found in Tuck & Holand's pieces has earned the business many notable clients, including Steven Spielberg and Jim Koch, the cofounder of Samuel Adams Brewery. The shop's work can now be found across the globe, though the largest concentration of their weathervanes remains on Martha's Vineyard, including the Nobska steamship piece that adorns the Steamship Authority terminal in Oak Bluffs.
Holand's custom pieces, which include indoor sculpture, chandeliers, and sundials, start around $15,000, depending on size and complexity. There is currently a three-year waitlist.
"A lot of people just get on the list without knowing what they want," Holand says. "It's like making a reservation to go out to eat—you don't have to decide which dish you want, but you know you're in."
1. The Sketch Transfer
Holand traces a fish onto a sheet of new copper, then uses tinner's snips to cut out the shape.
2. The Annealing
With an oxyacetylene torch, Holand heats the copper to make it malleable enough to manipulate.
3. The Cooldown
The hot copper fish is plunged into cold water—a process called quenching—turning it a deep shade of red.
4. The Shaping
Holand uses a series of custom-made chisels to form the fish scales from the inside out.
5. The Assembly
Once the various pieces are formed, Holand clamps them into place and brazes them together with copper.
6. The Final Take
It takes about a week to make a single striped bass. The completed vane will include five more fish like this one.

Recent library events, news and more.
We've been busy renovating the Children's Room. Now there's a brand new Story Place! Soon there will be a new shelving layout and an exciting new Fairy Tale room that continues to feature Conrad Kaufman's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland themed murals and Jamie Rife's "Tall Small Alice" stained glass installation that so many have enjoyed over the years. The Children's Room will be closed Monday, December 16th, through Wednesday, December 18th, in order to change the way the room is arranged. The new Story Place will remain open for Toddler Storytime on the morning of Tuesday, December 17th. When Children's Room reopens on Thursday, December 19th, we hope you'll find an exciting new layout.
We're in the brand new Story Place this morning,
We're reading stories and we're having fun,
We're glad you came to Story Time this morning,
I hope that you will want to sing along!
Our next Musical Storytime is coming right up! Last time, the multi-talented Mr. Ben Lau showed, played, and told us all about the pedal steel guitar! What an interesting mechanical musical instrument! It was neat to see how the cables, rods, and pedals work with Ben's musical playing to create music. Plus the pedal steel guitar makes some pretty great letter crane sounds! At Musical Storytime, we read stories, sing songs, play musical games and generally have fun with music, songs, and our imaginations. Everyone is always welcome. The program is designed for children from preschool age up to about eight years old.
Octy, who speaks with musical notes, not words as you and I do, wanted to let you know that the surgery was successful. Like Adele, John Mayer, and others lately, it was an issue with the vocal cords. Octy was overdoing it and was having a difficult time speaking and singing in tune. You might be glad to know that Octy's voice is recovering nicely. Octy would love to hear from you, especially with messages of "speedy recovery" or "best wishes". Feel free to drop Octy a line via the mailbox in Children's Room (see picture) or through the USPS addressed to "Octy" care of: Children's Room, Kalamazoo Public Library, 315 S Rose St, Kalamazoo, MI 49007.
If you've been on the second floor of Central Library recently, you've seen some signs of renovation. Soon, some of that work will move to the first floor Children's Room. Yes, we'll soon see some changes that will support our new emphasis as a Family Place Library. That designation will align us with over 300 libraries in 23 states which have made a commitment to serving families with children from birth to age 5. Here's the website: http://www.familyplacelibraries.org/.
What makes a Family Place Library special? Here are the core components:
Here at KPL, we're just getting started on implementing Family Place Libraries. One of the most exciting projects is expanding the space in Children's Room at Central Library so that we have more room to play! Soon, you'll see a brand-new Activity Room open, the Story Room will lose one of its walls, and some things will be re-arranged. We're excited about this time of growth and hope that you'll be a part of our development as a Family Place Library!
The Association for Library Services for Children maintains a great web resource for families: the cleverly-named Great Websites for Kids. The folks at ALSC are always watching for terrific resources for this list; recently, they added ten new sites. Aimed at kids up to age 14, there are also some very good sites aimed at parents and caregivers.
Using links like these, which are all vetted by the American Library Association, is one way for parents to sort through the immensity of the internet in search of quality sites for kids. Take a look at some of these and let us know what you think.
This is what a Monarch caterpillar looks like when it's ready to morph from a caterpillar into a butterfly. This animal has already been alive for several weeks. As in the Eric Carle book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, it began as a little egg laid on a leaf. The egg was laid by a Monarch butterfly. Then, after the caterpillar hatched from the egg, it got bigger and bigger as it munched on milkweed in its caterpillar form until a few days ago when it climbed up high to hang so that it could turn into a chrysalis. A few weeks after it morphs into a chrysalis, it will emerge in butterfly form. Then, it will be able to lay eggs that will hatch into very tiny Monarch caterpillars.
Have you seen very many Monarch butterflies this summer? I have not. I'm told Monarchs have had a difficult time migrating northward. Maybe you'll come to the library to check in on the chrysalis and borrow some books about butterflies.
Anita Silvey always has great recommendations and reminders about children's books. She has spent her professional life reading books, writing about books, reviewing books, and promoting books. Now she has a great website: the "Book-a-Day Almanac."
Here's the website: http://childrensbookalmanac.com.
The Kalamazoo Public Schools 2013 Summer Reading lists are a great place to get reading suggestions to read twenty minutes or more per day. The lists are arranged by the grade students to which students are "rising" when school starts in the fall. These titles are great choices for Summer Reading or any time of year, but they are just the tip of the iceberg. Looking for more great summer reading ideas? Come visit! We'll be glad to see you! Don't forget to check in for Summer Reading Games with your gameboard or get signed up if you haven't already!
The National Association for the Education of Young Children has some fine online materials about playing with music at home with children. Kids love music and you will love the ideas for incorporating music into your play with children. I appreciate the great music for children that's on the NAEYC site, as well.
We know that playing with music can be a powerful and enjoyable tool to learn about the world and to develop reading readiness skills. All children's programs at KPL incorporate music in accessible ways. Musical Storytime at KPL features a special musical guest every month. Kalamazoo Public Library has lots of recorded music for children available to borrow as well and additional resources if you would like more ideas about playing with music with your children.
One of the great rewards of parenting is remembering how to play make-believe. A perennial favorite is ghost hunt. The kids want to play a game of looking for ghosts around the house. A child proclaims that a small flashlight is actually an instrument to reveal where the ghosts have been. Ectoplasm? It's suddenly everywhere we look! Kids aren't seeking to be too scared when they engage in imaginative play about scary subjects. They know how to stay in control of their own make-believe. Children's fears and interests might inform their play as they learn how to regulate scary feelings. I'm pretty sure my job as a parent is to play along. As demonstrated by the dad in the family favorite My Neighbor Totoro, laughter is the ever available antidote to childhood fears. It also can be helpful to mix up a big batch of monster repellent in order to ward off bedtime fears.What are some of your favorite ways to make-believe with the kids?

The older model hurt my ears when they were in for prolonged periods of time, but these earbuds are a great design improvement over the older model. They fit in my ears very snugly and securely. The sound quality is good for the value and they don't leak too much sound, which is a definite plus. I found only two problems with these earbuds (which is why I took off a star), the case and the mic. The case is a tad small, so you need to cram them into the case for them to fit. The mic has a small button (on the skull logo) which you need to depress in order to pause/play, and this is a very small button that you need to push hard. Asides from these two downsides, they are a great pair of earbuds for everyday and exercise use. Would definitely recommend!
BOTTOM LINE YES, I recommend this product

By Caitlin Dineen Staff writer
SPRING LAKE - Family members grieved Wednesday for Howard Douglas Pearce at a small memorial service with full military honors.
His body was found March 12 by two boys playing less than a mile from where Pearce lived alone in Spring Lake.
Authorities say Pearce, a former Army Special Forces soldier, suffered from dementia, or a similar cognitive disorder. He was 59.
He wandered away from his home on Rainbow Court some time in February. It was not the first time he had gone missing, Spring Lake Police Chief Troy McDuffie said. In the past, Pearce left without a word to spend time at a different property he owned in Harnett County, McDuffie said.
This time, the chief said, his disappearance was different.
No one had heard from Pearce for about five days before an acquaintance reported him missing.
McDuffie said a silver alert was issued Feb. 18, after a police supervisor handling the case deemed it necessary.
Pearce does not have much family in the area, and police had to figure out on their own where to begin looking for him.
McDuffie said police canvassed the area around Pearce's home, including the woods. Officers handed out fliers and asked business owners to watch for him. Family members assisted in the search.
The state Medical Examiner's Office has not been able to determine a cause of death because of the condition of the body, authorities said.
Pearce's death brings into question the effectiveness of silver alerts, which are issued by the N.C. Center for Missing Persons at the request of a law enforcement agency.
Nona Best, the center's supervisor, said the alert system's intent is to notify the public when someone with either dementia or a cognitive disorder is reported missing.
Best said the program's intentions are good, but she thinks the public may have become desensitized to the alerts.
For example, she said, there were three active alerts in the state Wednesday, which is low for the center. Some days there are as many as seven or eight, she said.
"People stop looking at them," she said. "Who can look for seven or eight people at the same time?"
In the meantime, Howard Pearce's family is left speculating about the circumstances of his disappearance.
Val Pearce said his father, who immigrated to the country with his family after growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, joined the U.S. Marine Corps when he was 18. He retired after 25 years in the military.
But Howard Pearce did not share many war stories with his three children.
"He always told us that stuff was classified," Val Pearce said.
Still, the family knew he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in the service. Val Pearce said he didn't know if the heavy, dense woods his father was found in could offer insight into that.
"He was on a lot of medication," Val Pearce said. "Maybe he left the house and got disoriented and couldn't remember how to get back home."
Or, Val Pearce said, maybe his father lapsed back into his military training.
"Maybe he was in combat mode," he said.
Wednesday, his family gathered at Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery to say good-bye. Army officers folded an American flag and handed it Val Pearce, whose head fell forward as he wept.
Other soldiers gave him a three-volley salute.
Pearce's niece, Sharon Robertson of Fayetteville, said she did not fault the alert system, or police. She said there wasn't much more anyone could have done to find her uncle.
"I think the Spring Lake Police Department performed famously," she said. "I think people did what they could have done."
Robertson stood during most of the ceremony. She took pictures of the soldiers honoring her uncle.
And while the family has unanswered questions about how and why Pearce disappeared, there is a sense of closure knowing he at least was found.
"We wanted to know what happened,'' she said, "and that was the important thing.''

Located right off 95, I was very pleased with my stay. Everything was clean and the people were extremely friendly.

I stayed here on a trip from Baltimore to Florida and wow did it ever exceed my expectations! The staff was, in a word, wonderful.

"Perfect for the one-night stop while traveling"
A live spider was found between the sheets, terrifying to the 7 year-old, but easily remedied & could happen anywhere. The pool provided a nice break, but found it odd that the neighboor locals hung out at the hotel pool too. Not a problem - they were clean, polite, & quite - but just odd. The bar next door (parking lot between our room & bar) did not […] generate noise we could hear in our room, and this was on a Friday night. Breakfast service was more than adequate and everyone in our picky bunch found something to get them going. Would stay here again. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Good for one night stay"
This hotel was very convenient for us coming off the I-95 and we were happy that they accept pets, because we have one beagle dog who always travels with us. The room was made up well and there were plenty of towels for the two of us, but the carpet could really use a cleaning. I felt like I had to wear shoes or at least socks when walking on it, because […] it was so dirty. My son's white socks turned black on the bottom. We could hear the trucks exiting the highway from where our room was, but the noise wasn't too bad. I would recommend this hotel if you are traveling and need a place to stay overnight. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Not bad for a pet friendly motel"
The stay was good. Staff was helpful and friendly. We had our dog with us so we stayed in a 'pet' designated room. It smelled like dog and the carpet was a bit tacky feeling. Breakfast was good.

This is an acceptable place to stay traveling from point to point,as in our case, Fl. to N.Y. It's a little tricky to find, but very close to US 95 (Actually,real close,so try to get a room on the East side). Pretty typical Comfort Inn,which means pretty clean and well maintained, not very fancy, but what you would expect in this price range.

We were very satisified with our stay, and consider, overall, it being much above average. We will definately stay there again.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"St. George Comfort Inn"
This is a bare bones hotel, but is very clean, well kept, and has everything that you need for a one night stay when traveling. I would not stay here for a long term, but it is perfect for the one night lay over. We had a double queen room for three of us and it was plenty roomy. Beds are okay, but for a two star they are as expected. Nice staff. I […] would gladly stay here again when traveling through. The only issue I had with it is a railroad that is within whistle distance, but not rail noise distance. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"inexpensive and met our needs"
We just needed a clean and comfortable place to stay on the drive up 95. This hotel met those requirements at a good price. The staff was very nice.

"Served the purpose"
We just needed a place for a quick overnight on a long trip. The hotel was near the highway. Our room was convenient. The breakfast was good. The staff was accommodating. But the building was a bit dingy and the neighborhood was also a bit dingy. I would not want to return.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Very pleasant stay"
We were lost for about a minute trying to find the hotel because it is literally next to i-95 (on the east side). Stayed there on our way to Washington DC from Florida. The breakfast was as good, if not better than at home (who has time to cook breakfast?) Saw several people walking their pets.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Convenient to I-95"
I booked this room because of its location to I-95 (easy on and off) and because I thought that all rooms had a microwave and a refrigerator. The description was either updated since I had made our reservation or I had misread the info. For the price we paid, I was disappointed that our room didn't have a fridge or microwave. The room was clean, however. […] Overall, it was a fine place to stay. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Good for the money"
The place is showing some wear, but it was really clean. They've done a good job of trying to keep it looking newer with things like solid surface counters and a flat screen TV. Misses were the baseboard tiles in the bathroom were starting to pull from the wall and the ceiling tiles had a spooky "somebody's been messing around up there" look. Not that […] they can help it, but there's also a scene from "My Cousin Vinnie" railroad right behind the place...complete with shaking glasses and blowing horns, but it didn't run after 10pm or before 6am while I was there. A nice plus...the sports bar next door knows how to cook a piece of chicken - kind of a rare find that close to an interstate. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Charleston Sold out - Good option"
We booked this room after refusing to stay at a competitor who placed us in a smoking room. Charleston was sold out for Spoleto. We were happy to drive a little further for a clean, comfortable room.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Comfort Inn St. George"
The room appeared to be clean but had a musty odor to it. The bathroom baseboard area needed some repair work to be finishedl. The room was on the highway side, which made it somewhat noisy. The door stuck and could not be opened unless it was by the occupant inside. The air conditioner was noisy, which is not unusual for hotels. We did not try the […] continental breakfast this time, but last time we were there, we could not get a table, nor could we have gotten anywhere near the food due to the crowd ot people. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

The room was clean but musty smelling. The room next to us was being worked on and the crew started early(8-8:30). The breakfast was earlier than usual (from 6-9am) and we just drove in around midnight...who wants to rush to get up and get breakfast before 9am?

EDMONTON - Ice skaters will glide alongside pedestrians and winter cyclists on an 11-kilometre path looping through downtown if Matt Gibbs can convince the city to build his Edmonton Freezeway.
On frosty Edmonton evenings, families and commuters would stop at warm-up sites lining the multi-use trail, and shop or get a hot drink, with the dark of Edmonton's winter providing the ideal canvas for glittering light displays.
The Edmonton Freezeway proposal that began as the thesis for Gibbs' master's degree in landscape architecture has now won him top prize in the Coldscapes international design competition. A panel of judges with backgrounds in architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and public art evaluated more than 80 submissions to choose Gibbs as one of three winners for 2013.
Now, the born-and-raised Edmontonian hopes to convince the city to consider building the Freezeway, or testing a scaled-down version of the year-round greenway with rubberized crossings at intersections. The loop from the new airport lands development through downtown to Rexall Place would serve as a summertime cycling path and convert in winter to one of the world's first curbside skating lanes, said Gibbs, a University of Alberta arts grad who recently earned his master's degree at the University of British Columbia.
"For me, the main objective of the Freezeway was creating this space that seduced people to go outside, with light displays and exciting activities, hopefully bringing families and children outside away from Game Boys and Nintendos, and to be more connected with their environment," Gibbs said from Vancouver.
"I really tried to focus on all the things that we often consider a detriment to living in this climate … and turn it into something amazing."
Edmonton's cold, dark winter is the perfect setting for the multi-use strip that would be built on the sunny north side of the street and use on-site snow storage and trees to separate cyclists and rollerbladers from vehicles on one side and pedestrians on the other.
"This could all be made possible by linking two existing greenways and bridging the urban space between them, creating an 11-km route that would be a two-hour walk, a 45-minute bike ride or an hour-and-a-half skate with the potential to close the loop in the future," Gibbs said in a three-minute YouTube video explaining the project. "The route is also equipped with skate rental offices at many of the adjacent LRT stations, making it an extremely convenient tourist destination."
Coun. Ben Henderson, who advocates for Edmonton's WinterCity initiative, said the Edmonton Freezeway is an interesting idea that would require more work to see if it's practical.
Variable weather and winter thaws could make it a challenge to keep the long sheet of ice in good condition, Henderson said. A smaller-scale version of the Freezeway might be on option, he added.
The city has been asking Edmontonians to embrace the chilly climate and ideas such as the Freezeway create a sense of fun and energy around winter, Henderson said.
"We should take advantage of what winter has to offer rather than seeing it as an impediment," he said. "It's about getting ourselves out there and enjoying winter more, taking advantage of it instead of seeing it as something to hide from or deny."
Gibbs' trail would connect green spaces and city attractions, promote social activity, winter programming and pedestrian-friendly businesses, enhance transportation networks and encourage active transportation and physical activity in what can be sedentary winter months.
The path would be broken down into corridors that include esthetic touches such as an "enchanted forest" and lights with LED arms that mist in summer and form icicles that mimic northern lights in winter. It would tie into the entertainment district around Edmonton's new arena.
"The Freezeway offers a refreshing and warming new approach that allows you to skate to work, to the hockey game or just to have fun," Gibbs said in the video.
He spent a year working on the project he hopes will build Edmonton's strong civic identity while capitalizing on its cold climate. It fits in with the work already going on at City Hall to implement a WinterCity strategy, said Gibbs, who spent a summer working for the city's urban design section.
And it doesn't have to be expensive, he said. Gibbs believes his Freezeway trail could be maintained by community groups much like New York's successful High Line linear park, a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets of west Manhattan. The city owns the park that's maintained and run by Friends of the High Line, a group established in 1999 by community residents who fought to save the High Line from demolition and transform it to park space.
"I think the city needs something to really rally around that gets at the heart of what the place is, which is this amazingly friendly, generous, outgoing, physically and socially active community," Gibbs said.
"I think it would improve the lives of so many people and really put us on the map in terms of a world-class city. And we can do it."

Did not fit...I blame myself for not researching...bought this Mulch Kit for my 42 in cut Craftmans lawn mower...apparently they must be several different versions for a 42 inch cut...I blame Sears for saying this kit fits all 42 " cut riders...Check your model numbers before purchase...that is all....kinda pissed...***** would not have done me like that

The mulch housing and rubber strap are horribly designed and ruin an otherwise good mower. The mulch housing comes loose all too frequently -- out of desperation, I finally drilled 8 evenly-spaced holes through the plastic housing and deck and used stainless wire to securely connect the deck to the plastic mulch housing. That finally solved the problem. They don't carry replacement blades at my local store in Key West. No one at my local Sears store knew which blade to order so yesterday I had to buy another mulching kit just to get one new blade (UGH!!). I like the mower -- I hate the mulching kit though I will say when it stays intact it does a nice job.

Leaves trails and you have to go back over the yard to blow them into the grass. Really poor fitting deck plug that does not fit well and uses a big rubber strap to not hold it on well. Disappointed.

This was very easy to install. I recommend this kit. I spent three years using a bagger. Mulching is much easier. This kit fits many models, mine is a 2007. 2010 and above take a different one. 15 minutes and I was ready to go, change the blades and put the guard in place. The only tools you need is the wrench or socket to remove and replace the blades.

Frankly I've seen better engineered Mulch plugs but once you have it on it works well. The strap to secure it is pretty hokey. Seems like they could have spent a couple of bucks on some latches. I've used it about four times now and it stays on and does the job.

Blades install just fine. The discharge cover fits very snug and is a challenge to get seated with the elastic strap on. I recommend fitting it several times without the strap to make sure you know exactly how it seats. Then muster all the strength you can to fit it with the strap on. Once on it has stayed seated through many mows over rough ground. The kit cuts very well for me. Difficult to install, but I'm very happy with the way it cuts and mulches.
Columbia, SC

I've owned my riding mower for over a year and I was torn between purchasing the bagger set or mulching kit. I figured try out mulcher since it was the cheapest. It took about 2 hours to installed the kit. I tried it out and it works great!! The cover blew off at first, so I had to adjust it to stay on. Before, I left a great deal of clippings around and it blew dirt and grass all over. Not now, it cuts so fine, clean up is easy and quick. A great alternative to the bagger system.
