- Fixes an issue where the Character Switch Wheel would disappear after a failed load.

New World Order 13 wants you!!!
- on November 5 2013, 12:41pmThis patch as caused the issues that you stated it would be fixing, of which I haven't had before now. I'm currently stuck in my apartment unable to leave with my online character, but its displaying the offline map view with the special ability bar. My character isn't moving but on the map he is, the character selection wheel isn't displaying and it will not let me join any other game.
What makes this more annoying that when I inevitably restart the xbox and it takes ages to read the disk properly, I woukd of returned it for a new one but I thought it was my console; but after trying it ina different console it had the same problem, and I have friends who had this problem too!
I got xbox live solely for gta online but with all the issues we are having its really tarnishing a fantastic game.- on November 7 2013, 11:08am@NickNickSonic I have exactly the same problem. Can't even kill myself as the game then freezes on a black screen with the loading circle. Although I'm able to play the game solo and join jobs fine.
- on November 11 2013, 7:49am@NickNickSonic Shoulda got a PS3!!!
- on November 5 2013, 9:08amWhen is there going to be patches for single player?
Stability and performance fixes, etc. - on November 4 2013, 8:06pmI was classed as a ''Bad Sport'' for destroying vehicles of people who were attacking me.. This is Gta , the game where you are supposed to f**k s**t up without consequences.. Destroying cars should not be a criteria for being a bad sport...
- on November 4 2013, 8:17amRockstar really should disable team & crew lock on, in-game and in jobs i.e deathmatchs. Being a good sport should wield a higher periodic reward as the £1000 is not much of an incentive. You should introduce a prison sentence for constantly being a bad sport and let them fight it out in there, the length of time should depend on the amount of times a player has been a bad sport, that would make good use of the prison in GTAV and add a new game feature. If it isn't already available, crew deathmatchs should be another feature.
Ok people, if your going to join a crew then look no further than the Will of D. Open to all, especially One Piece fans. Join the crew, become one of our nakama and we'll have your back on the streets. You'll have access to 5+ apartments, tonnes of super cars, annihilators and buzzards. We'll help rank you up and make you money so your not left behind, we look out for each other. Memebers rocking our emblem will be promoted to reps, good teamwork performance will make you a lieutenant and great team leading skill will make you a commisioner. So jump on board and lets go on an adventure.- 3 weeks, 2 days firstname.lastname@example.com I AGREE ! YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHOOT FRIENDS AND CREW MEMBERS..... THAT MAKES NO SENSE.... IN A BATTLE , IM ALWAYS SHOOTING MY TEAM MATES ....
- on November 3 2013, 7:39pm@Dablkhoodrider how? in 2 installments of $250,000... when?an whenever they actually get the erased character bug fixed... would suck if you got the $500,000 and then you lose it all when your character gets erased.
- on November 3 2013, 3:20amCan you make it so we can buy more then one garage like yeah and take out bad sport it got rid of my buffalo and dominator idk y though?
- on November 2 2013, 3:46pmGTA V is a great game but would be even better if you can do trucking jobs for gas companies, ammunation, grocery stores, clothing stores and the truck that lets you stack up cars so you can deliver them. It would also be nice if you can hijack trucks by yourself with a crew to steal the cargo and bring it back to a warehouse you bought and sell the stuff to the different companies. It would also be great if you can stash weapons in your house as well. Its also frustrating that you cant buy more than one property in GTA online. I should get paid for these ideas.
- on November 5 2013, 9:44am@Flx144 Definitely. These ideas are gold.
- on October 31 2013, 11:05pmTDGK TOP DOG KILLAZ PS3 CREE ALL WELCOMED. NO KILLING INSIDE GROUP PLEASE if there are any other ps3 crees out there make yourself known

Love Letters, hate mail
Mayor Taylor? How 'bout Gov. Taylor?
Dear UTW:
Kathy Taylor can be Tulsa's next Governor of Oklahoma in 2014.
Here's how:
We Democrats are hurting for a tough-as-nails candidate to retire tea party Republican Governor Mary Fallin.
Taylor has a perfect resume -- a lawyer, experience running the state's second largest city, a good recruiter of business and industry, and an aide to former Gov. Brad Henry.
In 2010, we Democrats showed we are willing to vote for a qualified woman for governor when Lt. Gov. Jari Askins upset Attorney General Drew Edmondson in the primary.
Only three Democrats can match her name recognition -- former Gov. David Boren, former Congressman Dan Boren, and former OU football coach Barry Switzer. Little Boren has bowed out of the race and Big Boren and Switzer have other fish to fry.
Taylor has figured Tulsa out, something our last Tulsa governor, Frank Keating, was unable to do. Tulsans prefer governors to be millionaires and Taylor meets that qualification.
Taylor has a Tulsa mansion fitting for a governor so she can do the state's business there in grand style.
Taylor plunked down more than $1 million to become mayor and should be willing to do the same to get her campaign going.
She has her own jet to make trips around the state a piece of cake.
She just needs to remember former Gov. Henry Bellmon's description of the job: "A lot of people look at the governor as kind of a low-paid movie star. They want to shake his hand, get his autograph, and tell folks they did."
--Virginia "Blue Jeans" Jenner
Not Letting the Election Go
Dear UTW:
What is really scary about the results of the 2012 election is that 54,391,640 Americans voted for a man without any good purpose to be president, a man so rich from inherited wealth and who hides his tax records from us, who hides millions in foreign countries, and has a history of job killing. A man who most evangelicals say is not a Christian. A man who lies with every breath and would not tell his activist agenda if elected. Who picked a VP who worships Ayn Rand, the godless capitalist. Who wants to kill Medicare, Obamacare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Romney said he does not care about 47 percent of us. Romney said that states should solve their problems without big government -- including disasters. A man who has never done any real work in his whole life -- with no concept of people's need to survive, or any love and mercy for the poor, sick, or elderly.
So what was it for these 54,391,640 suicide voters to kill their own livelihoods and social safety nets for themselves, their neighbors, and families? Bad things happen to good souls. A man who wants to give the government and church tyrants control over women's bodies -- like the Taliban. Women are people too -- not slaves of little men who want them barefoot and pregnant. There was no love or logic in this voting for Romney/Ryan! So why this self-destructive insanity of them and us? Is it a flaw in independent thinking beyond their self control? If not then all that is left is the pure hate racism -- scary people!
Republicanism (churlism) is an ancient genetic trait of compulsive obsessive possessive behavior of greed, power, and stupidity. "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth" (Gen. 6:5). They look like us but are not like us. Not like the children of the good God of Jesus. They have no god but mammon and no prophet but profit.
--J. Ray Hunt
Need Armed School Security Officers
Dear UTW:
The recent tragedy at a Connecticut school shooting points out the need for stronger security measures to help prevent or mitigate loss of life at our schools.
The emergency plans implemented at schools can minimize injuries and deaths, but cannot prevent them when confronted with determined shooters. Buzzers, cameras, identification cards, and sign-in books will not stop shooters from forcibly entering schools.
One security measure that could counter the actions of shooters is the presence of armed security officers in every school. Granted, the killers might try to shoot the officers first, but the killers could be focused on shooting the students and teachers, and the officers could take out the shooters.
Another possibility would be to have trained administrators with weapons available to them in a locked and secure location.
Mentally competent people and non-felons may purchase weapons in accordance with the Second Amendment of our Constitution, which allows citizens to bear arms, and this right should continue. However, should ordinary citizens, like the Newtown shooter, be allowed to purchase a bullet proof vest? The purchase of bullet proof vests should be a huge tipoff on the purchaser planning a shooting.
We need armed school security officers.
--Donald A. Moskowitz
In Favor of the Fair Tax
Dear UTW:
Politicians seek the wrong solution to our economic woes. The income tax has failed. It has driven business away from the U.S. The only proposal before Congress that will fix our economy is the Fair Tax (HR25), not to be confused with the Flat Tax.
The first year of enactment will produce 10.5 percent increase in the economy along with 36 percent increase in exports. Workers will keep their full paycheck with no deductions for Uncle Sam. Business will no longer have to keep mounds of records and report them to the IRS. That alone will save more than $500 billion annually, which can be used to create new jobs. Every dime paid to Uncle Sam in income taxes can be used to create new business.
Congress has refused to act. Grassroots effort is necessary to pass The Fair Tax. See: fairtax.org
--Roy T. Newsom

What's Going On?
After about 8 months of theCADcube, we realised that we needed to rethink things slightly to achieve our goals.
So we've rebranded and moved to SpecifiedBy.com and we'd love to see you there!
The main difference for us is that we no longer see ourselves as a CAD library, but a specification library.
This means rather than hosting a library of manufacturers CAD models, we will host a range of manufacturers digital files, including CAD models, but also BIM components, technical/specification documents, case studies and more.

I noticed your photo of the mass grave enclosure. I couldn't find this marker and the nice lady at the Springfield Cemetery pointed me to where the mass grave is, but there were no stones or enclosure there. I'm wondering where you found it because I'm thinking she showed us the wrong spot. Thanks in advance.

Marc Chandonnet has been named the new head men's and women's golf coach at Seattle University, announced Thursday by the Redhawk athletics department.
Chandonnet has been the head men's and women's golf coach at Southwestern Oklahoma State for the past year, leading the men's golf team to the 2012 Great American Conference championship, the first conference title for the Bulldog men since 1997. In addition, the Southwestern Oklahoma State women's golf team finished in third place at the 2012 Great American Conference Tournament, the highest finish for that squad since 1998.
Before taking the head job at Southwestern Oklahoma State, Chandonnet was the head women's golf coach at Grand Canyon University from 2004 through 2010. He also served as associate head men's golf coach from 2007 through 2009 before becoming director of golf until September 2010, guiding the Grand Canyon men's golf team to back-to-back Pacific West Conference championships in 2009 and 2010.
"Marc is uniquely qualified to lead our golf program during this important period of WAC membership. His success developing NCAA Top 10 men's and women's golf programs at the Division II level is most impressive," Bill Hogan, Seattle U Director of Athletics, said.
Chandonnet was also the associate athletic director for development at Grand Canyon from January 2007 through September 2010, compiling a comprehensive marketing program to help increase the athletic department's fundraising initiatives. He also provided more opportunities for alumni, staff, family, friends, and organizations to become involved with the Grand Canyon athletics department.
During his collegiate coaching career, Chandonnet has coached four All-Americans and 16 All-America Scholars as named by the National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), including seven All-America Scholars in 2009-10. In just six months at Southwestern Oklahoma State, he raised the funds to build an 8,000-square foot short game practice area.
"I can't thank Seattle University enough for placing their faith in my ability as a coach. My wife and I have dreamed about living in the Pacific Northwest and close to family. I am excited about the opportunity to utilize my previous experience as a player and a coach to help the teams understand what they need to do to excel in the classroom, in the community and on the golf course," said Chandonnet.
Chandonnet earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in graphic design in 2003 and his Master of Science degree in leadership in 2011 from Grand Canyon University.
The Seattle University men's golf team will begin the 2012-13 season at the Dash Thomas Memorial, hosted by Boise State at The Club at SpurWing in Meridian, Idaho, Sept. 24-25, while the women's golf team will start the year at the Rose City Collegiate, hosted by Portland State at Langdon Farms Golf Club in Aurora, Ore., Oct. 1-2. Full schedules for both squads are now available on GoSeattleU.com.

Can "Man of Steel" save Superman?
It's odd to think that a strange visitor from another planet, with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, would need saving. In comic-book sales, the Man of Tomorrow is holding his own: At DC Comics, the Superman franchise follows only Batman and the Justice League in popularity.
But from a film standpoint, the character was "broken" and needed "to be fixed," Zack Snyder -- director of the new movie "Man of Steel," opening Friday -- told the entertainment website Hollywood Outbreak a while back. Superman is "the biggest superhero on the planet. He's the father of every superhero. Thor has a movie? Really? … And there's no Superman movie? This is, like, the world's out of balance."
Superman, at 75, has had great success on the big screen. But Snyder has a point: It's all in the past.
Superman, the first superhero, burst onto the scene in "Action Comics" No. 1 in 1938, and singlehandedly turned a fad giveaway vehicle into the comic-book industry. Hordes of imitators followed in various capes and cowls, immediately dubbed "superheroes" instead of "mystery men," in honor of the Last Son of Krypton.
But the "Superman" title, which launched in 1940, remained the best-selling solo superhero book well into the 1970s. Heck, in the 1960s, the seven books starring Superman, Superboy and their friends were lodged in the Top 10 nearly every year -- and that included "Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane" and "Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen."
That's right: "Lois Lane" and "Jimmy Olsen" outsold "Batman" and "X-Men" most years.
Superman also leaped into every other media with a single bound. He starred in his own newspaper comic strip from 1940 to 1966. "The Adventures of Superman" radio show, which gave us Jimmy Olsen and green kryptonite, ran from 1940 to 1951. Seventeen theatrical cartoons from the Fleischer Studios appeared in movie houses in 1941 and 1943, paving the way for zillions of cartoons on broadcast TV beginning in the 1960s. Two movie serials, starring Kirk Alyn, debuted in 1947 and 1950. "It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's … Superman!" hit Broadway in 1966.
A big, red S has marked toys and other collectibles, from the games, dolls and lunchboxes of Superman's early years to the video games, action figures and T-shirts of today.
But he's really been a Super-gorilla on the screen, big and small.
The Big Blue Boy Scout has virtually conquered television, with four live-action shows: "Adventures of Superman" (1952-58), "Superboy" (1988-92), "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (1993-97) and "Smallville" (2001-2011). "Smallville" continues as a comic book, currently in Season 11 at DC Comics.
Aside from his two movie serials, Superman came to the silver screen in 1951 with "Superman and the Mole-Men" -- two episodes from a proposed TV series stitched together. It was a hit, starring George Reeves, who became the Man of Tomorrow for several generations in "Adventures of Superman" TV show.
In 1978, "Superman: The Movie" -- with Christopher Reeve in the blue suit -- was such a success that it spawned sequels in 1980, 1983 and 1987.
Finally, Brian Singer, famed for the "X-Men" movie franchise, took a swing with Brandon Routh in "Superman Returns" (2006). It was an homage to the earlier films -- and it flopped.
The last Reeve movie, "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace," had its heart in the right place, but not its wallet. Fans said outer space looked a lot like a black curtain and the moon looked an awful lot like a soundstage. And "Superman Returns" was off-putting, with a protagonist who had abandoned Earth for five years (ridiculous!), was a deadbeat dad to the child he left Lois (preposterous!) and spent a lot of time playing Supervoyeur with his X-ray vision (despicable!).
Snyder was right. Something had to change.
Snyder, who directed "300" and "Watchmen," may just be the guy to do it.
"I'm not apologizing for Superman in any way. I'm saying, 'Superman … must be taken seriously and embraced and understood,' " Snyder told the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex this spring.
He's getting a lot of serious help.
One of the producers is Christopher Nolan of "Dark Knight Rises" fame. The titular character is portrayed by English thespian Henry Cavill ("Tudors"), with support from an all-star cast, including Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as Gen. Zod, Kevin Costner as Pa Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White and Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Superman's biological father.
The story's basic outlines are simple. As Grant Morrison summed up baby Kal-El's trip from Krypton to the Kent farm in opening his 2011 graphic novel, "All Star Superman": "Doomed planet. Desperate scientists. Last hope. Kindly couple."
Snyder has updated our hero for the 21st century. As in writer Mark Waid's "Superman: Birthright" (2005), the young Clark Kent goes on a walkabout after high school to figure out who he is. But in today's interconnected world, a man wandering Earth -- and occasionally

Hi all beadlovers!
I'm going to China in april and I want tips on where I can buy beads. I'm going to visit Bejing, Chongqing, Chengdu and Shanghai. Perhaps some of you have been there and have some tips. And also some tips of how I bargaining the best.
Thank you!
Linda from Sweden
I have never been to China, so I haven't any advice for you.
However I I just wanted to let you know that the section you posted this in, isn't going to get you much help. You need to post this thread under "Where Can I Find". The Bead Barter is a place to post things for trade, meaning you have some beads or other beading supply that you no longer are using and wish to trade with someone else for supplies you can use. So you see where your request for information will get little response.
Hope this helps.
Happy Beading!!
Hi Linda,
You must be so excited! There is a website called Alibaba. Type it in your search engine and when the site comes up, search for the type of beads you are looking for ex: Swarovski 4mm bicones. It will bring up a huge list of merchants. Most have their shops or manufacturing plant addresses posted. If there is a certain bead you are interested in, you can email them and they will give you their information. Good Luck and have fun!
Ruth from PA
I would suggest that you send an "E Mail" to Russ Knobs at Rings and Things . Do a web search for them. He is one super guy and does a lot of traveling to China for his bead business. I am sure he would not mind answering your question.
Thank you all. But I was in China in april and I did find some nice places to buy a lot of beads and pearls..
why should they not play with jewellery as well we all like some sparkle in our lives
Hey hey, Linda, you target the right point, I am Chinese, thus I thought I can settle you problem.
If you are going to China to have a tour, in fact you can catch sight of beads on almost every so-called scenic area, there are many crafts sellers, while most of them are selling the similar thing, this might be a disappointment. In fact most of the beads crafts are purchased from Yiwu Small Commodity Market in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province, which is close to Shanghai. If you wanna bring some of those beads back with reasonable price, you can take some time to have a visit at Yiwu when you are in Shanghai, they are really very close to each other.
Well, that's my suggestion, if you have other question about beads in China market, you can fell free to ask me!
Well, Hope you have fun in the journey!

The Board will also work on such important programs as setting up a mentoring commission, implementing youth camps as well as the AIF for Kids Youth Football League in our leagues cities. In addition the AIF will be heavily involved with programs to help prevent drug and alcohol abuse by our youths. A subject that is near and dear to Andre's heart. Every team in our league will have Andre Reed's website link on it and fans will be able to go on the site and be an active part in Andre's efforts to eliminate drug and alcohol abuse with the children in our communities.
Fans will also have the ability to get involved with their local teams efforts to help promote the positive messages of the AIF such as education, charity and community Awareness.
NFL Great Joins AIF Advisory Board
2012 NFL Hall of Fame Finalist & Former Buffalo Bill
Andre Reed was born January 29, 1964 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, went on to attended Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, where he moved to the wide receiver position and quickly drew the attention of the NFL for his speed and durability at the receiver position.
Andre played wide receiver in the National Football League for 16 seasons, 15 with the Buffalo Bills (1985–1999) and one with the Washington Redskins (2000). In the 1985 NFL Draft, Reed was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the fourth round with the 86th overall selection. He played for the Bills for 15 consecutive seasons, from 1985 through 1999, during which he played in four Super Bowls for the Bills. In 2000, Reed joined the Washington Redskins and retired after the 2000 season
Reed ranks near the top in nearly all NFL career statistical receiving categories. He went over 1000 yards four times in a 16 year career, is eighth in NFL history in total career receptions with 951 (behind only Jerry Rice, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Isaac Bruce, Tony Gonzalez, Terrell Owens, and Marvin Harrison), ninth in NFL history in total career receiving yards with 13,198. Reed is also eleventh in NFL history in total career touchdown receptions with 87.
He also rushed for 500 yards and a touchdown on 75 carries. With the Bills, Reed played in four consecutive Super Bowls (1991–1994) and was selected to the Pro Bowl in seven consecutive seasons (1988–1994). Reed set season career highs with 90 receptions in 1994, ten touchdowns in 1991, and 1,312 receiving yards in 1989.A tribute to his incredible physical durability, Reed played in 234 NFL games between 1985 and 2000, the 59th most games played by any player in NFL history, including players in less physically demanding positions, such as kickers and punters.
Andre played an important roll in taking the Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls, Reed is remembered particularly for his contributions to the Bills' extraordinary January 3, 1993 playoff victory over the Houston Oilers, a game that has come to be known simply as "The Comeback." In the game, which Houston led decisively 35-3 during the third quarter, Reed caught three touchdowns in the second half to lead the Bills to the largest comeback in NFL history. Contributing substantially to "The Comeback," Reed finished the game with eight receptions for 136 yards and three touchdowns. The game has been enshrined in NFL history as one of the greatest games ever played. It also is recognized as one of the largest comebacks by any team in the history of all of American professional sports.
Following the Bills' victory against the Oilers, Reed went on to catch eight passes for 152 yards in the Bills' 52-17 Super Bowl XXVII loss, on January 31, 1993, to the Dallas Cowboys.
Reed became eligible for induction into the NFL's Pro Football Hall of Fame, the highest honor afforded a former NFL player, in 2006. Andre is currently among the 15 finalists for the Hall of Fame Class of 2012. In 2006, he was voted into the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame, joining a number of other players from Bills history whose names are enshrined in the field-encircling cement of Buffalo's Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Since his NFL retirement in 2000, Reed has provided football commentary on the ESPN2 show, First Take, and appears periodically as a football analyst on NFL on Fox. He has also appeared on the Spike TV sports series Pros vs. Joes in the show's second season.
In addition Andre is active in his foundation The Andre Reed Foundation that was established in 2010 to help underprivileged children reach their full potential and become responsible contributors to their communities. AIF President and Owner John Morris is excited about the addition of Andre to the AIF Advisory Board and his desire to help take the AIF to the next level, not just another sports league but a league that cares for its cities and the citizens that reside in them.

Product Description: Mud Pie Personalized Hot Pink Little Sprout Tab Dress
Bold, Bright, and Such a Delight!
This hot pink summer dress is sure to become a favorite for its sweet style and pretty, comfortable fit. Crafted in classic tank fashion, the sleeveless design will help keep her cool this summer while her name embroidered on the front will add some personality to her ensemble. Fabric flowers of hot pink with white polka dots and candy apple green centers embellish her shoulders and the hem is edged in wide ribbon of bright green with white polka dots and tabs of other coordinating ribbon pieces that give this little dress an undeniably cute look.
- 100% cotton
- Machine washable
This dress has a lot of fun stuff going on with the ribbon and flowers. It is very bright and girly which I love about it. It is an extra $5 to have the dress personalized but I found this to be cheaper than taking it to a stitching store! I do wish I had ordered the dress in a larger size. It was a little short for me. You can easily add a diaper cover. I put a pair of white capri leggings on my daughter and it looked super cute. I was a little nervous about washing the dress because of all the frills it had but I followed the care instructions and it's holding up well.
With Easter just around the corner check out the adorable items in the Easter Shop. I just love the Bunny Dress and Chick baby dress! Don't forget to browse the baby headbands and baby hats and add one to your order to match the outfit.

Greek utility sale risks undermining EU energy goals
From Reuters
Greek utility sale risks undermining EU energy goals
* Depa award due in January
* Depa tender remains competitive – sources
* Gazprom pursuing interests in East Med region
By Oleg Vukmanovic
The sale of Greek gas firm Depa as part of European Union-backed state asset sales could undermine EU efforts to reduce Russian involvement in Europe's energy markets.
Russia's Gazprom has expressed the strongest interest out of the prospective bidders, according to two Greek energy sources with knowledge of the matter.
They said the Russian firm has lobbied across media, industry and government ahead of a sale decision which is due in January.
Both sources shied away from touting Gazprom as the likely tender winner, however, stressing that the outcome remained wide open.
Depa plays a key role in integrating south-east European energy markets with interconnectors.
Greece could also become a vital link in bringing vast East Mediterranean and Caspian Sea gas resources to western Europe.
"Gazprom has expressed the strongest interest in Depa and [oil refiner] Hellenic Petroleum …although the European Commission are not so happy about this," a source familiar with the situation said.
Greek sales of energy assets, imposed by lenders including the EU to help repay debt, could contradict wider EU energy goals if Gazprom beat rivals to buy the regionally strategic gas company, he said.
Gazprom's pursuit of Depa clashes with EU efforts to diversify gas supplies away from Russia, which provides about a quarter of Europe's gas demand, by bankrolling new import corridors from the Caspian Sea via Azerbaijan and Turkey.
The EU has also launched a probe into Gazprom amid allegations that it was hindering the free flow of gas across the continent and overcharging customers.
"Gazprom as well as all other potentially interested investors should be treated equally as long as compliance with third (energy) package (regulations) and merger rules are guaranteed," said an EU official, who wished to remain anonymous.

We stayed here with family. We had 3 rooms total and everyone was happy with their stay. We stayed here because we did the Polar express, which is only... about 10 min away if you do the Akron ride. The pool is open all night. There are tables/chairs and a grill outside, which would be nice if it was warm out :) The room was clean. There are plenty of places to eat, gas and a hospital nearby. Easy to get to and nice employees. Would stay again if in the area. Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 19, 2013

THE ART WORLD on the reopening of the Metropolitan Museum's Islamic wing. A glimpse of fourteen lamps hanging, aglow, beckon you to an entrance to the Metropolitan Museum's Islamic wing, which is open again after eight years of expansion and renovation. Fifteen galleries represent historical Muslim realms from Spain to South Asia, between the seventh and the twentieth century. (Trying to do it all in a day will wreck you; come back repeatedly.) Sheila Canby, the chief curator of the museum's Islamic department, and her team understand that many in the musem's public lack familiarity with Islamic arts. The new wing, grandly processional in scheme and finely intimate in detail, does its job with judicious flair. Clash or no clash, Islamic and Western civilizations hardly harmonize. Consider that almost none of the religious, courtly, and domestic objects in the Met wing were created for exhibition. They had uses. Many—very many—are beautiful. Beauty rolls in waves and seethes in eddies throughout the installations of dazzling ceramics, noble architectural fragments and statuary, fabulous carpets, enchanting miniatures from manuscripts and albums, and the extraordinarily varied and elegant calligraphy of handmade Korans, along with choice fabrics, metalwork, jewelry, and weapons. But it's beauty with a purpose. The logic of Islamic art isn't iconographic. It is poetic and all but musical. The Islamic wing affords adventures in difference. It made the writer acutely self-conscious of being European-American, a latter-day scion of the Renaissance wedding of Greek and Roman with Judeo-Christians traditions. It did this by reversing his sense of Islam as a topic of study; rather abruptly, Islam seemed to be scrutinizing him.

Task force park plans take shape
Residents of all ages are invited to attend a community meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, in the commons area of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College to talk about specific park plans and priorities for the city of Cloquet. Folks are also encouraged to take the new Park and Trail Priorities survey online at www.ci.cloquet.mn.us or contact Caleb Peterson.By: Jana Peterson, Pine Journal
After nine months of meetings and community input, the Parks Master Plan Task Force has a number of specific plans in place for parks and trails in Cloquet.
There's some bold thinking in those plans. At Athletic Park on 14th Street, for example, a draft plan shows no baseball field. Instead there is a multiuse field in the center of the park, with a band shell in one corner, a basketball half court, the existing playground, a restroom pavilion and a skate park/special use area.
"It goes back to the neighborhood park concept and having a multiuse facility," explained Caleb Peterson, assistant city engineer who works with the Parks Board and the task force. "Now with the [high school's] baseball field taking up so much space, it doesn't really serve that purpose. But talking with the coaches and Braun Park [officials], they're very much in favor of centralizing locations and moving the high school down to Braun Park. We'd keep the lights at Athletic, though, and the field could be used for anything."
Not shown on the plan for Athletic Park is an ice skating rink.
Peterson said he didn't know if that was part of the plan or not, noting the consultants working with the task force and the city haven't designated winter versus summer use.
"Ice rinks are a question we'll have to answer and figure out if they can stay in the current plans," he said. "That's one of the points of having a community meeting: to present these plans and start taking feedback."
Residents of all ages are invited to attend a community meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, in the commons area of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College to talk about the specific park plans and priorities. It will be the third community-wide meeting; the first attracted close to 30 residents while only a handful turned up for the second.
"Anyone, of any age, who's passionate about the parks system is more than welcome to come and participate," he said, stressing that the various drawings are simply planning documents and subject to change. "The whole process was designed with the idea that we want community input and we want people to get involved now, rather that when the construction plans are on the table."
The group has not completed a plan for every park in the city, Peterson said, but there are ideas outlined for each of the parks that would qualify for funds from the recently passed local option sales tax, as well as any parks that would see larger scale change.
The neighborhood park theme makes repeated appearances.
Plans for Hilltop Park – currently the soccer epicenter of Cloquet with three fields and substantial parking – show an additional multiuse practice field/rink north of the park (behind the 14th Street Apartment complex). North of that plans show a 9-hole disc golf course, more parking and a restroom pavilion. A smaller parking lot at the eastern end of the park would also serve as a basketball court and the existing, fairly old, playground would be renovated.
Peterson said the consultants at LHB suggested the disc golf course.
"I was surprised, but a disc golf course wouldn't limit development of more fields in the future and it fits in nicely with the natural features there," Peterson said. "It's also not really expensive to develop."
Veterans Park, at the intersection of Highway 33 and Cloquet Avenue, would retain a large multiuse field but gain a hillside amphitheater and lots of landscaping, in addition to the existing picnic pavilion, flag plaza and veterans' garden.
Plans for the entire Pine Valley complex – with two hockey shelters, ski jumps and cross country ski/nature trails – propose a new route from Pine Valley to the Washington Street intersection, a reconfigured parking lot by the ice rinks, paved and expanded parking by the ski area, a zip line, mountain bike trails, an enhanced chalet and renovated ski jumps. The senior center and "The Barn" ice rink would also be renovated.
Also falling in the category of "big" changes is the riverfront area in downtown Cloquet. Plans for that area show a river trail loop (including a pedestrian bridge across the river and boardwalk through wetlands at the eastern end of the loop, among other things).
Peterson said those who attend the meeting will talk about the individual plans for the parks as well as priorities.
"Is it best to focus on an individual park and take it from start to finish or make little improvements in various parks?" Peterson said. "We have to figure out how we'd go about making the improvements, too."
This will be the last parks planning meeting until after the holidays, Peterson said.
Those who can't make the community meeting are invited to fill out a new survey linked to the city's website at www.ci.cloquet.mn.us. This is a different survey than the one the city posted originally.
Residents without internet access can contact Caleb Peterson at City Hall at 218-879-6758 for a paper copy of the survey.

Date: Thursday, Nov. 29
Time: 6-8:30 p.m.

The wasp beetle with its distinctive black and yellow markings.
NATURE NOTESI SPOTTED this fearsome-looking insect in our garden recently, which I quickly discovered was not as alarming as it looked.
The wasp beetle is harmless and merely uses similar warning markings in order to provide itself with the protection from predators enjoyed by wasps.
This is called 'mimicry' and, more specifically in relation to evolutionary biology, it is a form of 'Batesian' mimicry.
Henry Walter Bates (1825-1892) was an English explorer and naturalist who spent many years in the Brazilian rain-forest and noticed certain harmless species appeared to adopt certain characteristics of other species, which were poisonous or otherwise distasteful.
This type of mimicry can take several forms: it may be the mimicry of a smell (or pheromone) or it may take the form of a similar defensive noise or call, or even a similar posture.
This behaviour of sending messages to potential predators is called 'aposematism' and some species only transmit such signals when they are actually threatened. These signals will normally be energy-depleting, and it is therefore not in the interests of the prey to send them continuously.
Some animals will suddenly display a flash of warning colour, for example, or adopt a posture which makes them appear larger or more frightening. However, the adoption of a colour-scheme, which simply makes the animal look like a more dangerous species, is the most common and least taxing method.
Insects are particularly good at this; many insects have adopted the strategy of looking like wasps or bees, usually to benefit from the protection that it offers. However, sometimes mimicry can be used to the opposite end: making it easier for a predator to dupe its prey. Some parasitic wasps, for example, look like the ants that they parasitize to make entry into their nests easier. Certain types of fireflies emit pheromones mimicking those of the female of a similar species, attracting the males, which they then devour.
Mimicry adopted as protection can only be effective as long as there are fewer of the mimics than the species being imitated (usually referred to as the 'model').
If the harmless mimic became predominant, predators would soon learn the warning could be ignored and the protection would be lost. However, the warning colours of black and yellow, or black and orange, are so prevalent that it must be assumed it is a very effective colour combination, offering either a real warning, in the case of species such as wasps, frogs and lizards — to name but a few — or a opportunistic one.
Other forms of mimicry exist. A German naturalist, Fritz Muller, who also spent considerable time in Brazil, identified a form of mimicry where two or more poisonous species, that may or may not be closely related but share one or more common predators, have come to mimic each other's warning signals.
The most commonly cited example is the mutual or collaborative arrangement reached by two butterflies — the Monarch and the Viceroy. Superficially appearing similar, they also both happen to be noxious and thus both they and the predators benefit from the arrangement: the butterflies from the wider recognisability of the similarly-marked species, and the predators from being duped into eating something unpleasant.

The CT Scanning department at the London Bridge Hospital offers state of the art CT scans for private patients via their 64-slice GE VCT scanner.
London Bridge Hospital, one of six owned by HCA (Hospital Corporation of America), has established an international reputation for offering the best in diagnostic imaging and private healthcare. They provide the very highest standards of clinical skills and nursing care across a wide range of specialties in a comfortable, newly-refurbished hospital overlooking the River Thames and Tower Bridge within easy reach.
The LightSpeed VCT is the latest innovation in CT technology. VCT means "Volume CT"...ushering in a new era in CT imaging.
There is now another option to colonoscopy - a less invasive outpatient procedure which can be offered to patients as part of a colon cancer screening package
CT Colonography is designed to study the colon and surrounding anatomy, in order to detect polyps and lesions that could be indications of a colorectal cancer. CT can produce 2D and 3D images of the entire colon and rectum. It is less invasive than conventional colonoscopy and can be performed on an out-patient basis.
Patients for this procedure undergo a strict screening process and must fulfil certain criteria to ensure their suitability for this test.
Lung cancer screening is only appropriate for patients with a high risk of lung cancer. It is not appropriate for individuals who are at low risk of lung cancer as it is likely to do more harm than good. This test acquires high resolution images of the lungs allowing the detection of "nodules" which would be too small for visualisation on a chest x-ray.

"If you don't start shooting better," White told the Wolfpack senior, "we're going to have to go to the high-tops."
It's no surprise, then, that Wood has enjoyed two strong games in a row. Not even a tweaked ankle in the first two minutes Saturday could slow him down for very long.
Wood walked to the end of the bench after converting a cherry-picked layup, removed the low-cut shoe from his right foot and propped his leg up for a quick ankle examination. He returned to the court a few minutes later, made his next seven field-goal attempts and finished with 23 points in the 25th-ranked Wolfpack's 92-73 win against St. Bonaventure.
Wood is so serious about his footwear that he promised current coach Mark Gottfried and former coach Sidney Lowe that his shooting percentages would be better if he was allowed to play in low-tops.
Wood shot 39.7 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from 3-point range in N.C. State's first nine games this season, and he broke out of a mini-slump by hitting five first-half 3s in a 17-point performance against Stanford on Tuesday.
He was 8-for-8 from the field on Saturday before he missed a wide-open 3-pointer from the right wing midway through the second half.
"I saw the (stat) sheet," Wood said, "and I was like, 'If I screw this up, I'm going to be mad.' Right when I shot that one, I was like, 'That's a little short.' "
Wood prefers to play in low-tops because they give him more ankle flexibility. Jokes and comfort aside, his productive week had more to do with spending extra time in the gym and working on his shot during the holiday break.
It didn't hurt that C.J. Leslie, who scored 33 points against the Bonnies, freed up some perimeter space for Wood by dominating inside. Unsolicited, St. Bonaventure coach Mark Schmidt talked about the challenge of defending future pros like Leslie and point guard Lorenzo Brown.
Wood and blue-collar forward Richard Howell can be lower priorities on a scouting report, and foul trouble kept Howell from making much of an impact Saturday. Wood, though, took advantage of the attention Leslie commanded.
"Wood is a great complementary player," Schmidt said. "You look at Howell, he gets zero points. You think, if that's the case, you'd have a shot.
"They have such a power game inside, it's hard to guard both inside and outside. When you try to double down on Leslie or Howell, they have a great 3-point shooter, one of the best 3-point shooters in ACC history. It's tough, especially when they put him on the same side."
Gottfried acknowledged that putting Wood and Leslie on the same side of the floor is one way to create a difficult predicament for an opposing defense. They shot a combined 18-for-23 from the field, and Leslie posted the first 30-point game by a Wolfpack player since Wood had 31 against Florida State two seasons ago.
When Wood concluded his locker-room interview session with reporters, he walked past the crowd that had circled around Leslie and hurled a towel toward his teammate's face.
The offering was right on target.

Montana's Biggest Phony
Montana TEA Party Congressman Dennis Rehberg has been caught again pretending to care about projects in Montana that he votes against when he gets back to Washington.
Rehberg said this week in the Montana Standard that he visits community health centers because "It really attaches a human element to the decisions I have to make."
Not that this "human element" matters to Rehberg. The TEA Party Congressman has a record of voting against community health centers, just like his compadres in the Montana Legislature. This year alone, Rehberg voted to cut community health centers by $1.3 billion. He also voted to eliminate 750 health center jobs in Montana.
Rehberg has been caught many times pretending to support programs he votes to cut. Earlier this year in Darby, Rehberg feigned support for Job Corps, despite previously calling the program 'ineffective' and supporting a plan to close more than 80 out of 125 Job Corps centers across the country, the Montana Standard reported. He has also pretended to support breast cancer awareness by voting to end mammogram coverage. Most recently, he tried to pretend to oppose Medicare and Social Security cuts while voting to slash funding for the programs.

Some of Aqua Indiana's customers in Aboite Township reported lingering issues with their water pressure Wednesday, a few days after a broken water main caused trouble for the already-strained system.
About 20 users had called the private utility to complain about low pressure Wednesday morning, Aqua Vice President Bill Etzler said. While Aqua had resolved the issues that caused a major drop in pressure Sunday night, continued high demand and minor leaks could still threaten pressure during peak usage times, he said.
"We have found a couple of other minor issues," Etzler said. "Right now it's an hour-by-hour evaluation."
To help the system cope with record-high demand, Aqua would start drawing water from Fort Wayne's public water utility Wednesday night to supply about 1,400 customers north of Indiana 14 between Hadley and Scott roads, the company said in a news release.
Aqua recently issued a series of notices asking customers to cut back on watering their lawns because of high demand and drought-like conditions. But Aqua believes many customers have ignored the advice, Etzler said.
The utility normally sees peak usage 6-9 a.m. and 5-8 p.m., but in recent weeks has noticed a third peak overnight, Etzler said. Aqua officials believe the third peak may be caused by customers setting their sprinklers to start running at night, he said.
Etzler blamed the ongoing problems on the high usage combined with an assortment of small leaks such as at fire hydrant valves and connection points where individual homes link to the system.
"This is so unusual, we're just looking at any possibility of where the water's going," he said.
Reports of problems have been scattered throughout Aqua's service area, Etzler said. The utility serves more than 10,000 customers in southwest Allen and Whitley counties, including many Fort Wayne residents. Aqua crews were working Wednesday to find exactly where leaks were occurring, Etzler said.
On Sunday night, Aqua found that an 8-inch water main had broken, draining a "significant" amount of water from the utility's supply, according to a statement issued this week by Aqua President Tom Bruns.
One of the utility's water pumps also failed because of round-the-clock usage, Bruns said in the statement.

Thousands of Mexicans die each year in the drug war. Many are relatives of Bakersfield immigrants. This Friday, a documentary from the heart of the killings in Juarez, Mexico, will screen here in town.
The documentary is called 'Murder Capital of the World' and for the last year it has been shown in theaters across the nation. It's first and only screening in California will be at the Edwards Theater in Bakersfield because the director said his film will hit home here.
Juarez, Mexico is a town right across the border from El Paso, Texas. According to the documentary, there are as many as 3,000 murders a year in the city because of the Mexican drug cartels.
"This film sticks up for the innocent Mexican people who have been brutally cheated during this shocking wave of violence," said Charlie Minn, the film's director.
This is the second of three documentaries Minn has made about Juarez. The first was called '8 Murders a Day' and the third was 'The New Juarez'.
"They are going to see probably the most overlooked natural disaster in the world today," said Minn.
Theaters across the nation have shown the film, and because of the large Mexican population in Kern County, starting Friday it will play in Bakersfield.
"I am sure many of them have been devastated by the war. I am sure they have friends and God forbid family members who have been greatly affected by this," said Minn.
Bakersfield resident, Dr. Jess Nieto, grew up in Juarez and has relatives who've died in the conflict.
"My own family, we have suffered the death of two cousins that lived in Juarez," said Nieto.
Nieto believes similar stories are shared by many Bakersfield immigrants with loved ones in Juarez, which is why the director felt it was so important to bring the film's message to central California.
"This film is meant to inform, educate, and create a reaction. It's very easy to be sad and silent, but if you are sad and silent that does nothing," said Minn.
Starting Friday October 12th, Murder Capital of the World will be screened at Edwards Theater at the Marketplace at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m., and 10:15 p.m.
More information and a link to the film's trailer can be found at murdercapitalfilm.com.

Donald Trump was quizzed in an exclusive interview on Scotland Tonight's first programme.
In an interview with presenter John MacKay from Trump Towers in New York, he said proposed turbines near his golf course near Aberdeen were "monsters" and "bad for Scotland".
A planning application for an 11-turbine wind farm off Aberdeen Bay has been submitted to Marine Scotland.
The billionaire businessman has written to First Minister Alex Salmond objecting to the proposals which would be visible from his luxury golf course at the Menie Estate.
Asked by Mr MacKay if he would pull out of the golf course project if the wind farm goes ahead, Mr Trump said: "Well we'll see what happens."
"We are building a very, very important place for Scotland," he said.
"When you look at these towers they are ugly and they are very, very depressing to be looking at.
"Frankly it's a bad thing for Scotland. You have one of the greatest coastlines anywhere in the world and to put these really atrocious-looking structures up in the water I think will be really detrimental to Scotland.
"I think they could find another location which could be more appropriate."
The tycoon told STV Tonight he had been assured by former First Minister Jack McConnell that the wind turbines would not be built within proximity of his golf course.
The planned turbines would be built one mile away and visible to golfers enjoying the course.
Mr Trump is worried about the impact of the turbines on the environment and local wildlife.
He said: "Thousands and thousands of birds will be killed by these big fans.
"The birds fly right through them and they get killed. They lay underneath by their thousands.
"Frankly the energy is not very efficient, which is a problem because when you need the wind isn't blowing."

Retro shapes and bold colors, along with the diamond "G" logo, make Gant Rugger an iconic collection. In 2010 Michael Bastian first partnered with Gant to create the edgy and sophisticated Gant by Michael Bastian eyewear collection. By drawing from pop culture references, using vivid colors on classic shapes, and adding signature accents the Gant by Michael Bastian collection creates a sexy and timeless style.

The only city in the world that encompasses both Asia and Europe, Istanbul also straddles the ancient and modern worlds. The ghosts of marauding Crusaders and marching janissaries haunt the city's historic alleyways—but this is no museum: the Bosporus is still a buzzing artery for maritime trade, and the sounds of building construction play a constant counterpoint to the shouts of street hawkers and the call of the muezzin. The skyline here is a glittering ribbon of palaces, mosques, and minarets, but also of sleek skyscrapers, where the sybaritic restaurant and nightclub scene easily rivals New York's or London's.

According to a recent interview with GQ, Cameron reveals that she's been feasting at the man-buffet lately. "It's been nice not having a boyfriend for the past year," Cameron explains. "In fact it's the first time I haven't had one in ten years and I'm enjoying what I'm getting out of this moment."

She may take beatings at the box office, by critics and even here on our message boards, but Jessica Alba still has tons of fans in the pre-teen category. The actress and expectant mom won the Favorite Movie Actress award at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards this weekend. The winners were determined by 88 million votes on Nickelodeon's website.
Watching people try to take Vegas for millions at the movies just never gets old. And while 21 may not be a major addition, it's a fun, mostly winning flick that gives the Sin City caper genre a fresh twist: With a young, cute cast, flashier-than-a-Vegas-show camera work and a hip soundtrack, it's no mystery who the target audience is.
It's not easy for a single gal to constantly have to hang out with her happily-married friends, but Jennifer Aniston's recent dinner with her betrothed pals at Eva Longoria-Parker's eatery Beso got a bit sweeter because of a presence of a hot man—none other than Orlando Bloom. "They were sitting very close," a spy told the New York Post, "and she was looking at him like he was her favorite guy in the world."

Boy & Bear Tour Heats Up
1/9/2011Boy & Bear have SOLD OUT their show at Sydney's Enmore on Saturday 5th November. Those who weren't quick enough to snap up tickets are in luck as Boy & Bear will be gracing the Enmore's stage again on Sunday 6th November. Tickets for this second and final Sydney show are on sale now.
Although it was the first show to sell out, it won't be the last, with "Moonfire" climbing to GOLD status and sticking it out in the top ten of the ARIA chart this week. Queensland, Victorian and Western Australian fans are advised to grab their tickets soon if they want to see this much-loved album live.
Sydneysiders were lucky to get a taste of what to expect on The Moonfire Tour last Thursday when Boy & Bear made a special in store appearance at Red Eye Records. It was standing room only when the band performed four songs in the intimate setting for the captive crowd.
It's not just the hometown that has been swooned by Boy & Bear lately, with reviews flowing through from the US of their recent appearances.
"The on-point harmonising of the other members overpowered the small setting of The Knitting Factory. Right then and there, it was obvious Boy and Bear were stars in the making." NYC, ShockYa
"The mall was packed with folks anticipating the soul-shattering harmonies and indie-folk tunes… and just as Boy & Bear's final song, "Feeding Line," came to a close, the crowd's uproarious applause coincided with a the sudden barrage of raindrops." Lollapollooza, CMJ's blog
They will be heading back to the US soon where they have been invited to play New York's biggest music conference CMJ, and may slot in a few of their own shows across the rest of the country. The UK is also in for a treat, with "Moonfire" now slated for release through Co-Op.
The Moonfire Tour is on sale now via www.boyandbear.com/shows. Boy & Bear's debut album "Moonfire" is out now via Island/Universal.
