Mr. JONES of Vermillion, from the Prison Committee, reported a bill [349] authorizing the directors of the southern prison to work the prisoners outside; to purchase a grave-yard ; to enlarge the female department; to transfer insane convicts to the State asylum; and to settle with former contractors, make new contracts, &c. supplemental to, and repealing former laws ; which was passed to the second reading: and (the rule being suspended), it was passed the second reading, and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
On motion of Mr. BRANHAM, the House took up the Senate's amendment to the revenue bill [H. R. 346]. It strikes out "five" and inserts "two" [cents tax on the $100]. The House refused to concur.
On motion by Mr. HEFFREN, the House took up the amendments of the Senate to the General Appropriation bill; and they were concurred in, except those for the northern prison.
Mr. FISHER opposed the Senate's proposition to allow $15,000 to the northern prison. page: 362[View Page 362] It would require over $11.000 to pay the officials. What were $4,000 to subsist 150 prisoners one year? &c. It would be better to repeal the law. Investigations have produced no valuable information. The House had sufficiently indicated its determination to make no appropriation under that corrupt contract. If that could be got out of the way (which he hoped would be done to-day), he would then be in favor of making an appropriation to set the convicts at work. When he concluded, he moved to strike out "$15,000" and insert "$40,000."
Mr. BRANHAM would not vote for that under the present fraudulent contract.
Mr. SHERMAN. If you annul the law, how are you going to subsist these prisoners returned to Jeffersonville ? He inquired whether that contract could not be amended by resolution ?
Mr. PARRETT considered that the fraud in the contract had nothing to do with the question, whether we should have a northern prison ? We should get rid of that contract save what money has been invested-as we may ; we should at least take possession of the prison ground. Appropriations have to subsist, and work-prisoners have nothing whatever to do with fraudulent contracts. He was ready to go to work in this way at once. He complained that no practicable plan of legislation in this matter had been submitted before. No system had been proposed : but all had been looking after nothing but the stolen money.
Mr. BINGHAM defended the appointment and action of the Investigating Committee. They had discharged their duties-reported the facts, and their recommendations thereon. They had recommended the abandonment of the location. He saw little distinction between doing nothing and simply complaining that nothing has been done.
Mr. FISHER'S amendment was withdrawn.
Mr. HEFFREN now hoped the Senate amendment would not be concurred in.[A Senate message asked for a Committee of Conference on its amendment to the revenue bill [H. R. 346]; which was taken up; the Committee ordered and the SPEAKER appointed Messrs. Branham, Prosser and Fisher.]
Mr. FERGUSON was in favor of abandoning the Northern Prison.
Mr. WOODHULL. The State was bound to take care of the prisoners. If the prisoners are not retaned North, there must still be a contract to enlarge the Southern Prison. A delay in making appropriations would bring the contractors to terms, if nothing else.
Mr. PROSSER, two years ago, had done all he could to prevent the Northern Prison scheme. He was proud of his votes and action then. He reviewed the arguments upon which this prison was authorized. They got an appropriation of $50,000, and then stole more than that. Now let it rot and crumble.
Mr. CAMERON demanded the previous question, and thereupon the Senate's amendment was non-concurred in-yeas 14, nays 74.
On motion of Mr. HEFFREN, the Senate's amendments, allowing $14,000 for officers, &c., of the Southern Prison, and $15,000 for officers and current expenses of the Northern Prison for 1862, were concurred in-excluding that for the Northern Prison.
The Sinking Fund bill [S. 114], (extending time of loans,) coming up-it was passed to the second reading.
On motion of Mr. McLEAN, (the constitutional provision being suspended for the purpose,) the bill was read the second time by title, passed to the third reading, read the third time and passed-yeas 88, nays 2.
Mr. BRANHAM, from the Committee of Conference on the revenue bill, [H. R. 346] reported that the Senate recedes, and the agreement is, that the tax be two cents on the $100 to be assessed for the years 1861 and 1862, and five cents for the years following.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. BINGHAM asked that the House now take up the election of the remaining Trustees of the Benevolent Institutions-two for Deaf and Dumb, and two for the Blind Asylum ; which was agreed to.
The SPEAKER called for nominations for a trustee for the Deaf and Dumb Institution.
Mr. BINGHAM nominated James C. Burt, of Jennings county.
Mr. PROSSER nominated John M. Kitchen, of this city.
Mr. BINGHAM stated that Dr. Burt was the colleague of Dr. Burt, as voted for by the Senate.
Mr. CAMERON suggested that Dr. Burt's name be withdrawn, and let all vote together once for Dr. Kitchen. [Laughter.]
Mr. BINGHAM refussd to withdraw the nomination.
- Burt received..........................57 votes.
- Kitchen received ......... .................29 votes.
- Scattering received :......................... 4 votes.
So, James C. Burt, receiving a majority, was declared duly elected a trustee of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum-to serve two years.
Mr. PROSSER nominated Dr. Kitchen for he other trustee.
M. STOTSENBERG nominated Thomas W. Woollen.
- Kitchen received................. ...70 votes.
- Woollen received .....................17 votes.
- Scattering received ..................... 3 votes.
So, John M. Kitchen was declared to be elected-to serve two years.
The SPEAKER calling for nominations for a trustee of the Institute for the Blind-
Mr. STOTSENBERG nominated Harvey G. Hazelrig, of Boone county.
page: 363[View Page 363]Mr. HAWORTH nominated Wm. M. Smith, of Fayette county.
- Smith received........................52 votes.
- Hazelrig received .......................23 votes.
- Scattering received ......................13 votes.
So, Wm. M. Smith was declared lo be elected on the part of the House of Representatives-to serve two years.
Mr. CRAIN nominated John Beard, of Montgomery county.
Mr. STOTSENBERG nominated Michael Fitzgibbon, of Marion county.
- Beard received........................52 votes.
- Fitzgibbon received........................36 votes.
So, John Beard was declared to be elected on the part of the House of Representatives to serve two years : and then it was-
Ordered, That the Clerk acquaint the Senate of these concurrent ballotings.
A Senate message announced the adherence of that body to its amendments to the General appropriation bill, and asked for a Conference Committee thereon; which was ordered; and thereupon, the Speaker appointed Messrs. Branham, Prosser and Fisher.
The bill [S. 98] to amend sections 13 and 14, of the Justices'act of June 9th, 1852, to prevent evasions of the law by the assignments of claims, and bringing suit against the assignor in a different county-coming up on the third reading, it was finally passed by House without amendment-yeas 83, nays 1.
The witness bill [S. 5] was laid on the table, as superceded by the House, witness bill 344.
The bill [S. 25] to authorize Justices of the Peace, Mayors of towns and cities, Clerks of the Circuit and Common Pleas, courts, Master Commissioners, and County Auditors (and the respective counties to Road-viewers. &c.) to administer oaths, coming up-it was passed the final reading-yeas 75, nays 0.
The Free Bank plate bill [S. 86] amendators of sections 3,4. 6. 7 and 49 of the general banking act, coming up-
Mr. RAGAN. Does it do away with the deposit of $110 for the $100 circulating ?
Mr. FISHER. It reduces it to $105, in Indiana State Stocks.
Mr. BLACK. The main feature of the bill is to force banks holding the bonds of other States to sell them and buy Indiana bonds. This would depreciate, the value of other State bonds, and so impair all the free banks owning such bonds.
Mr. FISHER. It contemplates those exchanges to be made by the year 1863. And it reduces the deposit of securities from $110 to $105, to the $100 of circulation. He spoke of the poor reliances for our circulation on State bonds under secession movements.
Mr. CRAIN. It was enough for the House to know that the bank of Bloomington went down solely because its circulation was based on southern state bonds, &c.
The bill passed the House-yeas 79, nays 10.
The Road bill [S. 36] coming up, it was passed the final reading in the House-yeas 61, nays 23. It takes the control of vacation and change of highways within the townships from the County Commissioners, and gives it to the Township Trustees ; and authorizes the opening of private ways.

Divers Flock Back to Egypt's Red Sea Resorts
Author: Noora Faraj
Source: Al Arabiya
June 9, 2012
"The diving industry is making a comeback in Egypt, particularly in the Red Sea resort town of Dahab, which boasts some of the world's best diving sites, such as the Canyon, where these divers are seen testing the waters.
Frank Vahrenhorst, diving organizer at the H20 Dive Center says the diving conditions are suitable for both beginner and advanced divers. Reef fish can be spotted less than one meter from the shoreline in some areas.
"Even the courses here are very nice to do here because the visibility is very good. There's hardly any current and basically we have swimming pool like conditions and the marine life here is absolutely stunning."

Tablet Wars
See how some of the more popular tablets stack up.
Timeline: Bookending Barnes & Noble
From humble beginnings to a bookselling behemoth, Barnes & Noble has seen ups and downs over the decades as it tried to straddle the world of paper books and e-books.
While the revenue drop reflected in part a slight decline in the number of stores open, as well as lower online sales, it included an 8.2% drop in sales at stores open at least one year. Most of that was driven by lower sales of Nook digital devices, both the tablet and e-reader. Excluding Nook device sales, "core" same-store sales fell 3.1% because fewer consumers came to the stores.
Revenue for the bookseller's Nook segment, which includes all the Nook devices, digital content and accessories, fell 12.6% to $311 million for the nine weeks compared with the same period a year ago, the company said Thursday.
Barnes & Noble has devoted a significant amount of floor space in its stores to its Nook digital devices. But while Nook device sales "got off to a good start over the Black Friday period," they "then fell short of expectations for the balance" of the holiday selling season, said William Lynch, the company's chief executive, in a statement. "We are examining the root cause of the December shortfall in sales, and will adjust our strategies accordingly going forward."
Barnes & Noble has gone head-to-head with Amazon in the tablet market, with both releasing tablets of roughly the same size and in the same price range of around $200. But competition has intensified in the past couple of months. Apple introduced a mini version of its iPad on Nov. 2, priced at $329. Demand for that device was so great that it was sometimes unavailable during the holiday period. Google is also selling its own tablets.
While Nook sales 'got off to a good start,' they fell short of expectations for the balance of the holiday selling season, Barnes & Noble says. Reuters
"What concerns us is that as the overall market gravitates toward color tablets, you'd have expected that Barnes & Noble would have been able to maintain its share because it introduced two new color tablets during the quarter," said Morningstar analyst Peter Wahlstrom. "They aren't behind on the tablet front in the sense that their devices compare well with others, but they are behind in terms of marketing, awareness and adoption. And that's critical."
The news comes just days after Barnes & Noble said Pearson PSON.LN +0.23% Pearson PLC U.K.: London GBp1290.00 +3.00 +0.23% Dec. 6, 2013 4:35 pm Volume : 1.36M AFTER HOURS GBp1189.00 -101.00 -7.83% Nov. 15, 2012 4:36 pm Volume : P/E Ratio 0.38 Market Cap GBp10.56 Billion Dividend Yield 2.48% Rev. per Employee GBp109,795 12/04/13 Microsoft, Pearson Create Corp... 12/03/13 Pearson Buys Brazilian English... 10/30/13 Pearson Warns on Yearly Profit More quote details and news » PLC is investing $89.5 million in Nook Media, the division that runs the Nook business as well as Barnes & Noble's college bookstore chain, for a 5% stake.

Barnes & Noble warned when it disclosed Pearson's investment that its holiday results would be disappointing and that its Nook business would fall short of earlier projections. Still, Mr. Wahlstrom said, "I don't think anybody was expecting a 12.6% drop in Nook segment sales." Barnes & Noble shares fell 29 cents Thursday, closing at $14.22 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Digital-content sales, including e-books, digital newspapers and magazines, and apps, increased 13.1%. The company said that it expects fiscal 2013 Nook Media revenue, which includes the college bookstores, to hit about $3 billion, down from an earlier forecast of more than $3 billion.
The bookseller also said its Nook business segment, which excludes the college bookstores, will have Ebitda losses that are about comparable to fiscal 2012's about $262 million.
The results reported Thursday are in contrast to the upbeat picture that Mr. Lynch painted for Wall Street analysts in late November. During that presentation, Mr. Lynch described the retailer's seven-inch Nook HD and nine-inch Nook HD Plus as "breakthrough tablet products," and said "the Nook business will scale in fiscal 2013, reducing losses from last year."
He finished by noting that the holiday season had gotten off to an encouraging start, with Nook unit sales doubling over the four-day Black Friday period compared with the same time frame a year earlier.
He also said that comparable-store sales at the retailer's 689 consumer stores were "in line with expectations" over the four-day period that represents the traditional kickoff of the holiday season.

I'm winding down on my second day of the I_Blog Conference for the Midwest (yes, folks from Nebraska and Wisconsin actually blog – and they rock at it). I digest material by seeing it, so I figured typing out some tips I've learned today will not only help ingrain it into my mind, but hopefully help to serve others as well.
For this post, I'll pass along some tips I learned from Melanie Nelson, who runs Blogging Basics 101. Most of these fall under the "common mistakes" category, so I'm not sure what that says about me, but I found them the most helpful.
- Choose a blog title that will grow with you. "Baby Time" will be outdated when your kid is a toddler, or worse yet, a teen
- Avoid overused words in your title, like "musings," "ramblings," and "reflections"
- DO NOT put auto-play music on your blog. Seriously, does anyone enjoy being startled?
- Type out the name of a site when you link to it, don't just type "Read more *here*" – it will boost the SEO if you type out the name of the site
- Set up a Google alert for trends, categories, products, or key words that you write about – it will give you ideas and know what's buzzing
Melanie also passed along some great sites for finding free stock photos (because, as we ALL KNOW, you can't take stuff from the internet). Here are a few cool sites to check out:
Many thanks for the great tips and the well-done presentation. You can find more tips from Melanie by following her on Twitter.
If I'm not too tired tonight (I'm an old soul…I go to bed early, people) I'll share what I captured during a photography class with the great couple-team Darcy and Randy Milder, from His and Hers Photography.
Sunbeams. That's all I will say right now.

Islamic Gardens in the UK
Dynamics of Conservation Culture and Communities
There is a long tradition within the Islamic world of creating gardens. These are often designed as a reflection of the heavenly realm as described in the Qur'an. Such 'paradise gardens' incorporate elements of shade and water within an enclosed space, attesting to the desert environment from where Islam emerged and where such elements hold a particular significance. As Islam spread, Islamic garden design began to incorporate elements which reflected the cultural diversity of the Muslim world. This project aims to explore how and to what extent Islamic gardening traditions might develop to actively encourage biodiversity conservation and environmental sustainability, drawing upon the sources of Islam.
The Qur'an states that human beings have been chosen as 'stewards' of the earth and that we have a duty to manage and care for our environment.
Thus We have made you to succeed one another as stewards on the earth, that we might behold how you acquit yourselves. (Qur'an 10:14)
© Peter Sanders/Art of Integration
Corruption has flourished on land and sea as a result of people's actions and He will make them taste the consequences of some of their own actions so that they may turn back . (Qur'an 30:41)
This duty of environmental care is further emphasised by sayings of the Prophet Mohammed which clearly encourage sharing of the earth's resources and discourage activities which are wasteful. For example he is reported to have said:
"If anyone plants a tree or sows a field and humans, beasts or birds eat from it, he should consider it a charity on his part". "Whoever plants a tree and looks after it with care until it matures and becomes productive, will be rewarded in the hereafter".
Botanic Gardens Conservation International represents over 700 botanic gardens worldwide in 118 countries. Through policy, publications, training, education and on-the-ground conservation work, BGCI supports and empowers its members and the wider conservation community to reverse the threat of the extinction crisis, that faces one third of all plants. BGCI has been established for over 20 years and has its head office in London. It has worked with partners in the Middle East for many years and has developed an interest in the question of whether and how Islamic gardens which have sustainability and biodiversity conservation at their heart, could be developed within the UK.
The aim of this project is to investigate the need, value and viability of establishing Islamic Gardens in the UK, based on Islamic ecological principles.
The research will offer recommendations for ways in which these gardens could incorporate ideas of environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation.
We hope to assess how, and to what extent Islamic gardens that reflect these principles might engage the attention and engagement of British Muslims.
As a result of the project, we hope to provide evidence for ways in which gardens built on Islamic principles can enhance integration and inter-faith co-operation within communities.
The findings of the research will be disseminated to a wide variety of audiences and via a range of media. This includes academic journal articles, and a presentation at the World Botanic Gardens Congress in Dublin, Ireland, in June 2010.
We will also disseminate findings to British Muslim environmental groups, and to all those who have participated in our research.
A summary report will be placed on the web sites of the BGCI and the Islam-UK Centre.
We hope that the outcomes of the project will be beneficial to British Muslim communities, by giving them a sense of pride in their heritage and religious tradition in its UK setting.
This study will employ a range of qualitative research methods to gather data from a variety of perspectives.
Methods include:
Interviews: with members of British Muslim environmental groups, directors of botanic gardens, and local authority officers responsible for parks and gardens.
Online Survey: distributed to members of British Muslim environmental groups, contacts of the Islam.-UK Centre, and BGCI contacts, such as Botanic Gardens Education Network (BGEN) and Plant Network.
Focus Groups: with British Muslim environmental groups .
Consultation: with key specialists in Islamic Gardens and Islamic environmentalism.

This side locker is awesome. I have two of these on my 11 drawer 56" industrial us general tool box and absolutely love it. I'm head tech at a large franchise and this setup works great. I do advise putting magnet on door to keep them shut when unlocked.

Inexpensive massive storage
By EvilSteve
from Warren, MI
This cabinet offers the most significant amount of stoarage you could add to a roll-around toolbox, for a much lower price than other manufacturers/dealers are selling this type of cabinet.I purchased this as an add-on to box of a different brand with minimal modification to either.The only thing I didn't like about this cabinet is that the bumper pad for the drawers came pre-affixed to the bottom of the door. Since I mounted my cabinet on the left side, I had to rotate the door so that it would open outward. Now I have a buper pad at the level of my top shelf where I keep books. That looks kinda stupid, but relocating it is not an option. The adhesive is strong and the padding is fragile. That's not a huge deal, but it irritates me a bit considering the door was clearly designed to be mounted to open in either direction. All the manufacturer had to do was leave the backing on the self adhesive bumper pad and toss it in one of the drawers. They had to go that extra step and make it so it doesn't suit my needs.Overall the cabinet is fantastic. It's heavy duty. It's made of a thicker steel than my main cabinet. It has a nice shiny red finish, although the touch-up work done on the inside of the cabinet at the seems could have been better.If you work in a shop where all your co-workers are in competition for the biggest & best box, this side cabinet is a must have. It will give your box a very impressive look. When it's all said and done, fashion is far more important than function. This cabinet offers both!

Not to shabby for the money
By Mr Clean
from Ransomville, NY
See all my reviews
Can't go wrong for the money...easy Assemble.Could use small magnet to keep door shut when unlocked...never stays shut.All in all...can't go wrong. Bought 2 complete US General tool box sets... one for home and one for work.
Works great! Built well.
By Drew
from Bethlehem, PA
Overall this is a great cabinet. I gave it four stars only because the door doesn't stay closed because there isn't a latch. One can solve this by locking or as I did, install a small magnetic latch. A latch should have been installed from the factory.
Good extra storage
By Hamilton
from Boston,Ma
I put this on my Craftmen tool box with no problem because my older chest has enough clearance. It has plenty of room for bulky items but I wish I could get another shelf or I may just make one.

Loclly travel deals left me chasing emails and phone calls. Not the trip I was expecting! | Gripevine
I purchased a travel voucher in January 2012 and after over 30 emails with five people and three websites, a BBB complaint, and phone calls, the issue remains unresolved and I have yet to receive a refund for an un-booked trip from Atlanta to Las Vegas.
Loclly originally connected me to Next Stage Promotions, who then connected me to their "travel partner," Hotel and Air Promotions. Hotel and Air tried to book me a trip that cost over $1,200 additional ($300 of expected fees, the rest unanticipated and without any proof of why the costs were that high). I emailed Hotel and Air three more times with questions about the high fees, and they never responded.
I asked for a refund the first time at that point. Loclly sent me back to Next Stage Promotions.
Next Stage Promotions received 8 emails from me, three of which were answered. I was told for two weeks that I would get a new itinerary ASAP. I offered a range of a year of flexible travel dates in order to ensure I would not pay exorbitant fees. They sent me only one itinerary option, with the same fees as the first option. I asked several times why they had not researched the alternative travel dates, and again, asked why the fees were so high, and did not get an answer.
I went back to Loclly and they asked me to re-redeem my voucher so they could book the trip through someone else. I filled out the form they sent me. After several days, I again asked for a refund of my money, as I was continuing to be ignored and did not trust the process. I filed a BBB complaint.
The BBB complaint was answered by Loclly and I was again told I could get Loclly credits, and that Loclly had already spent $65 TWICE on redemption fees of my voucher. I was not told that $65 would be charged to Loclly when I filled out the form a few days prior. I responded and again, asked for a refund through the BBB. Loclly did not respond by the requested date of 4/20/12.
Last week, while awaiting another response through the BBB, I got a brochure from Hotel and Air Promotions thanking me for redeeming my voucher number and giving me instructions on how to continue and book my trip. This leads me to believe that Loclly sent me to exactly the same company that had failed me in the first place, and then mislead me into thinking they had paid a redemption fee twice. I have not pursued the process Hotel and Air outlined for redemption, as I'm no longer interested in redeeming, they failed me last time I tried this with them, and I don't trust that would not pay exorbitant fees.
All I want is a refund of my $198, credited back to my credit card, or mailed as a check. I've been offered Loclly credits instead, but as I don't trust the site and its practices, I'm only interested in a refund. This has been over four months of struggle and I really just want to be treated fairly.
We are so very sorry for any inconvenience you've experienced. Unfortunately, there are those rare times when our partner merchants do not meet the exceptionally high standards we set for accommodating our customers. We regret that this was the case with your purchase.
As we have already paid the merchant, we are unable to refund your purchase. However, we appreciate your business and would like to turn your experience into a positive one. You paid a total of $198 for your travel deal, and we'd love to generously offer you a $250 Loclly store credit.
Please contact us using the e-mail address on our previous correspondence so that we can get your credit set up for you and address any other concerns you may have.
Have a terrific day!
I see that I am not the only one that has been duped by Loclly and their cohort, White Glove Deals/ Hotel and Air Promotions. This is exactly what I am going through! This is absolutely absurd; the way that they are treating people who, in good faith, thought that they were purchasing from a reputable company. I was also offered a Loclly credit but there is no way that I would ever again buy something from their site after clearly being scammed.
I do plan on filing a report with the BBB and I'm also sending the documents and emails to all of the local stations. I am going to tell everyone who will listen on Facebook, Twitter and any other Internet blog or whatever to stay far away from Loclly and any other business associated with them.
At Next Stage, we take our relations with our customers very seriously. Many times, we have found ourselves in the middle of customer and vendor issues. Often times it is not either parties fault, but a miscommunication of some sort. I know that Veronica from our staff has been in touch with you. I hope that we can reach out to you, and do what we can to help you feel better about your dealings. We are trying to upgrade our customer service at Next Stage and Veronica and our other reps have done an amazing job at trying to keep the lines of communication open. Please keep in touch with us. I hope that we can show everyone a positive result at the end of this posting.
I came across this posting when I did a search on your company because of the issues I've had redeeming my voucher. I realize this reply is several months after your post, but I'm desperate here to make some progress with my reservation and hope this gets someone's attention. I bought the deal from Loclly, $69 for basically a BOGO round trip plane ticket to anywhere. I read all the fine print very thoroughly before I purchased. When I redeemed my voucher back in September I was very happy with how your company did business. I heard back within 5 business days as promised and I got a very fair and reasonable quote. I replied back the same day with a change in my departure date and was ready to book and pay after it was made. However, I never heard back from my broker. I tried everything I could think of to get in contact with someone: emailing my broker again, filling out the online request form, calling customer service, requesting to talk to a supervisor. Customer Service is nice enough, but they are quite useless, they can only take a message and have a broker contact me "within 3-5 business days". A supervisor is never available, but "will be in contact with me in 24-48 hours". Right. Now the number has been taken off the website altogether. 2 months after our original correspondence I FINALLY heard back from a broker. I was irritated that he asked for passengers and travel dates/destinations, which should already have been in my reservation file, but I was glad at least to be making progress. 6 business days later I got new itinerary. The total came to about 3 times more than my original quote in September and included a hotel, an additional $99 per night fee (@9 nights), and a $500 credit. I don't know where any of those came from. I'm not complaining about the credit but I'm not sure why it's on there, and I don't need a hotel or any additional per night fees. Ticket prices for my flight have increased quite a bit since September, and while I don't believe I should be held responsible for paying for this increase since it's the fault of your company for dragging this out so long, I understand price fluctuation is beyond your control and am willing to pay that extra expense. However, my flight leaves in 3 weeks and I am very worried this will not be resolved in time if left in the hands of your brokers.
I did a little "investigation" into Next Stage Promotions and through a link on your website I came across what seems to be a "parent company" of sorts, Next Stage Companies, who has a number of other sketchy businesses. It was a very unprofessional website, made using website.com, with plenty of typos; one of the links even took me to an "inactive site" error. I was surprised to find the phone numbers were out of Atlanta, where I live, since the number I called for Next Stage Promotions before was out of Nevada. But when I tried calling one of the numbers it was a fax line, and the other I got after business hours. Given these findings and the thousands of complaints I've come across online I'm convinced your company is a scam. Even if this did get resolved I'm very leery about giving my money to your company...
So, if you would like me to believe that your company is not a scam and that you do "take relations with your customers very seriously" and that you are "trying to keep the lines of communication open" I would very much like to hear from a representative of your company ASAP, preferably a manager, and preferably by phone since my trip is just around the corner and I can't afford emails several days apart. If everything is resolved to my satisfaction I will likely still purchase my tickets through you. If it is not I will be forced to abandon this very important trip.
I have also been scammed by loclly and white glove deals. I have left multiple emails with half answers when the do respond which is very rarely. I spent $169 with them because I believed they were reputable. I have filed a complaint with the bbb today. It's awful how these companies take advantage of people.
The same thing happened to me. I purchased a trip to Orlando for 99. I waited about 4 weeks and was told that i would have to pay 1000.00 just to go to Orlando from Atlanta, Ga.
Imagine the thousands of people that are getting ripped off. Someone has to be held accountable.
Hi Alexis,
In my initial response I asked that you contact us directly at the email address you've been using for previous correspondence. That post was on April 23 and the last email we've received from you was on March 29. I am still awaiting your e-mail. Please do so as we are happy to further assist you with this matter.
For all other inquiries, our awesome customer concierge will be happy to help you here: http://www.loclly.com/help/
Have a great day!

Tropical Two Light Outdoor Ceiling Fan Light Kit
good over porch dining table
I added this light to a porch ceiling fan I had bought separately. The light is just the right amount for when I want to light my porch dining table from above--like for a card game, or reading at the table. The light is not too bright, but it definitely provides enough illumination. I do not expect to use the light to create a romantic dinner feel; I will use a group of candles in the center of the table for that. The glass shade is pretty, too. It also was a nice option that I could order a finial at the bottom that matches the color of my fan.

Good Looking Light Kit
The leaf pattern bowl looks great with our outdoor ceiling fan. Also, this light kit is outdoor rated and should hold up well in the elements over time. The only drawback I found is the fluourescent bulbs that come with the kit; they don't work with the Hunter dimmer control and flicker at low light levels. I replaced them with regular incandecent bulbs and now the dimmer works great. Overall, it's a good looking light kit for the money.

Buying real estate in Playa del Carmen will mean that your most important resource will have to be your agent or broker. However, it is still advisable to have a few pointers, tips and considerations in mind with regard to the buying process. Here are some points to consider when purchasing real estate Playa Del Carmen property.
1. Although beachfront houses and villas Playa del Carmen located can be relaxing and tempting, you can still own property for a lot less at the back of the beach. All it will take is about a 10-minute walk to reach the same fabulous beachfront of the city. Buying 3 to 5 blocks back will save you a lot of money but still provide you with the same level of comfort and relaxation a beachfront property can give.
2. Naturally, vacation rental potential is a lot higher when situated right next to the beach and available for lease. Investments that see good returns are usually ones that can be hired by vacationing tourists. Constructing larger condos and apartments may then provide a more substantial income rather than building a house on its own.
3. If a few blocks from the beachfront pose is a little too expensive for your budget, there are plenty of gentrified communities near the beach that offer larger properties for great prices. Although most of these communities are old and rough, the city has paid a lot of attention to such areas with new upscale hotels and nice roads to start it off. Sooner or later, this part of the city will increase in value, making your real estate investment all the more worth it.
4. If you are flexible when it comes to your location and style, focusing on your budget will be easier. There are plenty of ways to cut down on expenses such as pre-construction discounts, price reductions and fire sales. Sometimes, you may be one of the luckily ones to get an excellent location with an equally excellent price attached to it.
5. Playa del Carmen is a rapidly developing resort city that continues to bring the utmost convenience to its residents. The city is not too big or too small, making getting around town just as easy. However, you may want to consider the lifestyle that you will be having when you do decide to relocate here as it will be a significant determinant for the location of your property.
6. Not only are mortgages offered by Mexican banks but a growing number of developers will be more than willing to offer financing packages. This means that you can start enjoying your property despite handing over only a down payment to the estate. In addition, getting financial assistance from Mexico means that your property can be used as collateral instead of being tied up with home equity back home.
7. When considering buying a condo, take into consideration monthly Home Owners' association fees or HOA fees. HOAs are organizations present in every condominium or apartment complex and are responsible for the maintenance and improvement of any common property. While these fees may be minimal in Playa Del Carmen, they still may be considerable on some occasions, so ask about when comparing costs.
8. Even if you plan to buy Playa del Carmen real estate for retirement or vacation purposes, it's always good to know the reselling value of your estate. If your purpose is to generate income, this may be an important factor to tell your agent about. Real estate in Playa del Carmen poses great investment opportunities so making the right decision may indeed lead to hefty advantages.
Knowing what you want and what you need will definitely make buying real estate Playa del Carmen located easier for you and your broker. Although, sticking to the budget may be the best idea for most situations, it may still be worth to stretch the budget at times as long as the effort will reap better benefits. Bring an open mind when buying estate in Playa del Carmen as the opportunity will definitely be worth it.

Does this product work with a new Airport Express?
- Asked by Giampaolo B from Brooklyn
- Feb 6, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
1 Answer from the Community
In our case, the short answer is yes.
Long version is that airport express will act as any(?) other wireless router and help you see any airplay device on your iOS device that is on the same wireless network.
In addition, Airport Express features a jack connection for common speakers. That makes those speakers Airplay enabled. But that's not needed for these speakers as they can do that already without the need of Airport Express.
Note: The questionmark means that even if they should work correctly, there always be a possibility with issues, such as too much load on a cheap 802.11G router.- Answered by Zafiris S

I'm a huge fan of Stone as well as hop centered beers. Pours a pitch black color with a thick dark head. Very creamy and left some great lacing down the sides of the glass. Taste is very hop centered which I love and it balances pretty well with the malt profile of this beer. The malt side of things has a very Guinness taste but with pumped up hops. The 10.8% abv can be a bit overpowering but if thats not your thing... pick a different beer. Overall its great and I'm going to buy more as soon as i sober up a little.

This is not an IPA to me because all of the hop flavor has long since gone. That's ok though, because this has morphed into a quite tasty imperial stout. So, strangely enough, that's how I will review it. A - opaque dark black. S - very sweet, with dark fruit, fig and licorice notes. There is a slight hopiness left to it, but it's faint. It smells like a Russian imperial stout. T - Very deep flavor. I get a taste of milk chocolate right off the bat with a depth of flavor that develops into figs, and then a flavor of very bitter deep roasted coffee that fades quickly. It's smooth but leaves a taste of booze on the tongue. Overall, very smooth. M - Great. Heavy and chewy. Great for the style. O - I can't say what the black IPA would be like had I tried this beer within 6 months of the brewing date. BUT, what I will say is that this is a delicious beer and very well crafted.

Bottled 8/1/11, so more than 2yrs old now. Bought for $5.99 at Total Wine Tustin (great value). A - Pitch black, nothing even around the edges. Mocha colored head leaves decent lacing. S - Dark chocolate, has a weird turpentine smell, I expect it is from the aged hops. Not off-putting. Weird, but nice. T - Dark chocolate upfront, also dark fruits (prunes, raisins, figs). A little sweet on the front end. You get that same flavor (turpentine) and black tea from the aged hops. You can definitely tell this beer was massively hopped. M - Medium-heavy mouthfeel. Carbonation is low side of medium. O - I think this is definitely past it's age, but still a great drink. The fresh version was even better because of the hop notes. This is still better than the Sublimely Self Righteous (which is also a great beer).

The Calendar of the Arts lists dynamic public events that represent the academic curriculum in the Arts at Dickinson.
Learn more
Dear Members of the Dickinson Community,
I want to share with you a highly informative case study about the costs of higher education that I asked Dickinson's former vice president and treasurer Annette Smith Parker '73 to write in her final months of distinguished service to the college. As Annette notes, those of us who work in higher education are often asked by prospective parents, those outside of "the academy" and even some alumni, "Why does college cost so much?" The answer is extremely complex, which can be frustrating to those desiring a response more in line with today's sound bites and Twitter feeds. This is not a topic for the faint of heart. The answer to this "cost" question cannot be "dumbed down" into a multiple-choice test; rather, it is deserving of a full essay—yes, that old medium of full sentences and paragraphs accompanied by a logically progessive argument.
With that in mind, I encourage those of you who are interested in the topic of college affordability, value and access to read Annette's comprehensive distillation of the many variables that factor into the cost of higher education, and in particular, how Dickinson has grappled with the multiplicity of conflated issues surrounding these topics. You might well find the essay illuminating for your own purposes, as well as engaging material for discussion with friends and colleagues. An executive summary is provided as well, along with the full case study. In reading these documents, we all benefit from Annette's 25 years of work in higher-education finance, and I thank her for sharing her insights with all of us.

Bengals: Is Andy Dalton a franchise QB?
HOF vote
The Dalton Debate
Is Dalton a franchise QB?
The Cincinnati Bengals don't need to draft a quarterback in the first round this year. They don't need to sign a free agent to replace quarterback Andy Dalton.
What the Bengals need to do is figure out whether Dalton is a franchise quarterback by the end of the 2013 season. That's a valid question after Dalton flopped for a second straight season in the playoffs and took a step back in his second NFL season.
Offensive showing puts spotlight on Dalton
Nothing was more stunning than the way the offense imploded. And nobody is under more scrutiny heading into another empty offseason than quarterback Andy Dalton.
For the second year in a row, Dalton played poorly in the playoffs. He passed for only 3 yards in the first half and finished 14-of-30 for 127 yards with no touchdowns, one interception and a 44.7 passer rating that was third-worst in franchise history for a playoff game.
Dalton raises concerns for Bengals
It's not a question of whether Dalton is any good. It's obvious he's capable. It's whether he has the potential to be great. He has limitations as a thrower and struggled with accuracy. It was discouraging to see him truly take a step back in his second season mentally. He often seemed hesitant to make a throw, even when it was there. Too many passes went out of bounds. The game hasn't slowed down for him
Should Dalton be better than this?
Josh Katzowitz, CBS Sports
Really, the question is whether Dalton can be better than the man he replaced, former Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer. Although Palmer was solid in his time in Cincinnati, he didn't win a playoff game (the Bengals, in fact, haven't won a postseason game in 22 years). Dalton has been solid also, but he's 0-for-2 in the playoffs. So is Gruden.
Head coach Marvin Lewis is secure in his job for now. But if they don't truly improve next season, maybe Dalton and Gruden shouldn't feel so comfortable in theirs.
Disappointing Dalton
Dalton did not respond well. Here he took two sacks, scrambled twice and completed only 3 of 10 attempts for 11 yards. Or 1.1 yards per attempt. There are more questions than answers with Dalton at this stage of his career, as his second postseason game highlighted.
Chris Burke, SI: Blame Dalton, if you want, or Cincinnati offensive coordinator Jay Gruden (who may have cost himself the shot at some head coaching jobs with Saturday's game plan). Heck, give all the love to Joseph for putting the kibosh on Green. Whatever the explanation you want to go with, Green's completely silent first half is inexcusable.Cincinnati had to find a way to get him the ball and only figured that out once it was in a hole. This was far from a breakout game for Dalton, and the Bengals may not be that far from reassessing if their current quarterback situation can get them over the top.
Bengals make strides, but offense must get better
Todd Jones, Columbus Dispatch
Dalton is more caretaker than gunslinger. He has thrown 35 TD passes in the red zone in his NFL career, with no interceptions. He's not as bold as the QBs who have won the past eight Super Bowls: Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger and the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli.
Yet Dalton is only 25 and has been a proven winner at every level.
How cap space looks for AFC North
There's only five teams in the league who are projected to have over $30 million in cap space and two of them reside in the AFC North. The Bengals have the most projected cap room in 2013 with $55.1 million. The team with the second-most cap room in the NFL is the Browns, who are projected to have $48.9 million. Indianapolis ($46 million), Miami ($35.8 million) and Tampa Bay ($31.3 million) round out the top five.Complete list: Salary cap space 2013

Hall of Fame
Joe Posnanski, SportsOnEarth.com
He was widely viewed by the sportswriters as the best player of all time. In the end, character clause or not, the writers understood their mission was to honor the best who ever played the game. I think that's still our mission. I don't think it's right to pretend that the steroid and PED stuff never happened -- it absolutely did happen and should be part of the evaluation of a baseball player's career. But I don't see how steroid use in an era when there was no testing, no policing and (I believe) tacit encouragement to use PEDs can or should be, on its own, a Hall of Fame disqualifier.
Allowing assumption into Hall of Fame vote a slippery slope
Richard Justice, MLB.com
One voter told me he wouldn't vote for Clemens, Bonds, McGwire, etc., because he has too much respect for the game.
Oh, Lord, scoop out my eyes with a plastic spoon. There are few things sportswriters enjoy more than preaching about right and wrong.
MLB.com writers reveal their ballots:
Each year, lifetime members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, i.e. those who spent 10 or more consecutive years with the organization, are bestowed a unique honor: Together, they comprise the electorate for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. At MLB.com, we have 16 veteran writers who have earned the privilege to vote, and again they're sharing their ballots with you.
The Hall of Fame, from scratch
So, instead of a yes/no decision, I'd center my Hall of Fame around the concept of tiers. Instead of Simmons multi-level Egyptian architecture, I'd settle for a series of rooms, each slightly smaller than the previous one. A suggested order:
My thoughts on the voting process
I'm maintained for years that the Hall of Fame voting process needs an overhaul.
1. There is no reason the vote to be exclusive to the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America). Times and media have changed since 1939. TV, Radio, blogs are major players in coverage of the game. 2. There is no reason for a writer to maintain a vote that is decades removed from covering the game. 3. You can't convince me that the likes of Vin Scully, Bob Costas, Marty Brennaman, George Grande, Tim McCarver, Jon Miller don't deserve a vote. And why would those in the hall not get a vote?
Each year I refer to the voting percentages of players inducted and laugh. Can you imagine having a ballot and NOT voting for Babe Ruth in 1936? That's what happened. Check out some Hall of Fame players and the number of writers that did not vote for them in the player's induction year:
64 Bob Gibson, 48 Cy Young, 45 Frank Robinson, 43 Mickey Mantle, 37 Walter Johnson, 28 Joe Dimaggio, 28 Rickey Henderson, 23 Willie Mays, 23 Stan Musial
21 Christy Mathewson, 20 Ted Williams, 16 Johnny Bench, 16 Mike Schmidt
9 Hank Aaron, 9 Babe Ruth, 5 Tom Seaver. Click here for a complete list.
UC, Massillon staffs not getting along
"It was an ugly situation," Hall said. "I think they thought he was going to go to Tennessee with Butch Jones and they offered another quarterback. But that wasn't the case. Cincinnati will not be allowed back in Massillon on our campus as long as Jason Hall is in Massillon."
Tuberville a HR for UC
Area coaches are excited about Tuberville coming on board.
"I remember when I was a young coach, I went and listened to a presentation Coach Tuberville gave at a clinic when he was the defensive coordinator at Miami the U," Steve Specht, head coach at area power Cincinnati St. Xavier said. "Since then I've followed him and stayed in contact learning a little here and there. I think he's an excellent coach.

Senate GOP Leaders Question Holder's Testimony
CNS News reports that four key Republican leaders in the Senate sent a letter on Friday to Attorney General Eric Holder (left) stating that the Department of Justice had not been forthcoming in requests for information about the extent of the involvement of then-Solicitor General Elena Kagan relating to President Obama's healthcare legislation. The letter — from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Minority Whip Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Charles Grassley (Iowa), and Judiciary Committee member Mike Lee (Utah) — also declared that the testimony given by Holder was "belied by the facts."
Big Labor Supports "Occupy" Movement
When considering what is the "establishment" in America, college students are never told that this group includes powerful labor unions, the news media, or state-supported academia. Hence, why the "Occupy D.C." encampment, an offspring of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement, and other "Occupy" movements are leaning heavily upon big labor to support their protests despite the fact that big unions, in a fashion similar to big finance, buy off politicians in return for government action that is not in the interest of the public at large, but only to the benefit of unions — such as the National Labor Relations Board's attacks on Boeing at the behest of unions for opening a plant in a right-to-work state.
Labor Shortage May Leave Washington Apples on the Trees
Apple growers in Washington State — who produce about half of the country's apples, about 15 billion — have a bumper crop this year, among the best in the state's history. Yet many of these apples may never make it to market, because growers cannot find enough workers to pick them.
Romney Proposes Partial Cuts for PBS, Nat'l Endowment for the Arts
In Washington, D.C. on Nov. 4, Mitt Romney promised attendees at the Defending the American Dream Summit that if elected, he would end funding for several federal programs. Conservative Republicans, however, may not have been comforted by Romney's reasons for denying these programs federal funding. At the event, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, he stated:
New York Subway System May Stop Station Trash Pickup
The Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York, a state agency which controls the New York Transit Authority, has run the city's subways since 1965. (The two privately owned systems, the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation [BMT] and the Interborough Rapid Transit Company [IRT] were bought by the city in 1940.) The mass of New Yorkers simply cannot get around their city without subways, and government owns the subways. The MTA is facing a budgetary crisis, and its director, Jay Walder, left several months ago after a $10-billion capital shortfall was revealed.
Obama Admin. Memo Shows Bias for Manmade Global Warming Research
A July 21, 2010 memo by John Holdren, director of the Office of Science and Technology and Peter Orzag, director of the Office of Management and the Budget, said that $450 billion, or about three percent of the nation's GDP, would be spent by public and private sources for research and development with a priority on "solar energy, next-generation biofuels, and sustainable green buildings and building retrofit technologies."
California's Governor Brown Delivers for Labor Unions
According to Katy Grimes of the Sacramento-based investigative reporting website Cal Watchdog for October 19, "For unions, Governor Jerry Brown is the governor who keeps on giving." Over the weekend, the California Governor signed into law Senate Bill 922, which will prevent cities from banning union-supported "project labor agreements" that force contractors to hire union workers if they want to bid on public projects. The measure, written only one week before it was passed, provides that if even a non-union contractor wins a public project, his workers are required to join a union.
Salazar Wants More Latino-Focused Nat'l Parks, Sites
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has been pressuring the National Park Service to locate sites related to the histories of women and minorities, particularly Latinos, which could be added to the National Register of Historic Places or otherwise preserved as parks or properties.
Wisconsin Labor Leaders Want Gov. Rusk Portrait Removed
Democrats in Wisconsin's State Assembly have asked for the removal of a portrait of Governor Jeremiah Rusk (left), who in 1886 ordered the state militia to keep peace during the Bay View Rolling Mill strike. Seven people were killed during that strike, and labor unions in Wisconsin have gotten their Democrat friends in the legislature to offer a resolution to take down Rusk's picture down. "He ordered the National Guard to fire on people who were marching for an eight-hour workday, even though some of those marchers were children," Reuters quoted resolution co-sponsor state Rep. Jon Richards as saying. "He is the last person we should be honoring in the state Capitol."
Fast and Furious Scandal Grows
Congressman Darrell Issa (R-Calif., left), Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is not impressed with the explanations given by Attorney General Eric Holder and other Department of Justice spokesmen about Operation Fast and Furious -- the gun-walker scandal in which ATF officials oversaw the transfer of 2,000 weapons across the border to brutal Mexican drug cartels, mainly the Sinaloa group. He is calling for a formal review by someone outside the government:

What type of Backpacker are you?
Okay, tongue is firmly in cheek here guys but I'm sure on your travels you've met one or two of these types of backpacker? Maybe you recognise yourself in there? Or are there any stereotypes I've missed out?
8 Answers
Oh my, respect for someone that names their kid Huckleberry? I can think of other words. Or more likely, Huckleberry will have a few of his (her?) own
haha, cant argue with that! But hes a nice bloke so il let it slide! Did i miss any of the stereotypes off the list? What do you think? Wish there was more movement on these b.oards sometimes
So what type of backpacker or traveller are you all? Are you a brand new gap yearer? A flashpacker? Maybe a sub group Ive missed off the list? Let me know what you think …
HAHAHA @ "the stamp collector".
I have personally never understood how one could "do" a country, like it was some hurdle or obstacle to pass?
Hey what about the "know it all" backpacker who takes it upon himself to educate all those around him of the history, religion and general practices of the culture he finds himself in? I have personally met a fair few. I find myself instinctively getting as far away from them as possible as soon as they have been identified as a know it all..
What do you guys think?
I've always hated that phrase myself Sean! Haha! You can't just 'do' a place then go off to the next one! Stupid phrase.
Hmm, I know exactly what you mean! I've met a few of those people myself, kind of lumped them in with the 'bragpackers'. Doesn't matter where you have gone or what you have done, they of course have seen more, done more and know better. But I take your point, the know it all's may need to get added to the list as a separate sub group!
What does everyone else think? Have you met any more?
Hahaha Michael.
I am just at the airport waiting for my flight to Taipei. I will keep a real good lookout for any of those traveler types mentioned in your post…
Will keep you posted!
Thanks Janet, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I'm looking forward to the updates Sean, enjoy your trip!
So, has anyone else seen one or more of these backpacker types? Maybe you have sen a few I've left off the list? Let me know?

Primrose School of Five Forks congratulates the Nguyen Family!
Douglas and Quynh-Nga are the proud parents of Luc and Jacob, both students in our Explorers program. The Nguyen family loves to travel, as they believe their children should be exposed to other environments and discover other cultures. They have traveled across the United States from New York, Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, Florida, Minnesota to Texas, Las Vagas, Washington and California – and internationally to England, France and Italy. As a family, they often eat out and enjoy all types of ethnic cuisines, especially Vietnamese and Korean food. They also like to watch movies at home and at theatres. The Nguyen's also enjoy going swimming, going to the aquarium, zoo and pet store, as the children love to look at animals.
The Nguyen family shares their Primrose experience:
When the Nguyen's were asked why they chose Primrose School of Five Forks for their children, they replied, "Our children have been going to Primrose for three years and are currently in the after school program. The Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs were well-structured, allowing the students to engage in a regular routine. There was a balance between play and academics. The children were well-supervised and issues arising between students were properly and calmly resolved. The teachers and staff would also comfort students who had separation anxiety (as our little one often did) or upset feelings. Children were taught about respect and how to behave, but were not personally criticized for their behavior. The summer program provided an enriching experience with a variety of field trips, and also incorporated learning and fun, creative activities. The after-school program allows our children to complete homework and offers a relaxing environment for the kids to wind down after a long day at school (as opposed to going home and watching TV or playing video games). We have always felt that our children were in good hands with the caring and dedicated teachers and staff. The school made sure that safety and cleanliness are priority. Given that our children have allergies, the staff was very careful to watch out for their health and comfort. We, as other parents, feel good to see the children so enthusiastic to see their classmates, teachers and staff as they leave for the day – always with a smile on their faces."
Congratulations to the Nguyen family!
