CBS News, NBC News and, for the first time, Al Jazeera English, have just been announced as winners of the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards.
CBS News "60 Minutes" will be honored for Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Lara Logan's report from the frontlines of the war in Afghanistan, and NBC News, along with Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel, will be honored for breaking news coverage of the Arab Spring uprisings.
Al Jazeera English will receive its first duPont silver baton for a documentary about shortcomings in the recovery efforts in Haiti and NOVA, on PBS, will be honored with a duPont award for a documentary on Japan's devastating earthquake and tsunami.
"This truly dynamic group of news organizations and journalists represent the best in broadcast and digital news reporting," said Bill Wheatley, duPont Jury chair and former executive vice president of NBC News. "Journalists are using technology in new ways to effectively tell these important stories covering the news, issues and events that are critical to our society."
In all, 14 awards will be presented during a ceremony on Thurs., Jan. 19. CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley and Michele Norris from NPR will host the 70th anniversary of the duPont awards, presented each year to honor excellence in broadcast and digital journalism.

- (a) that it should in any way be used or acted on as genuine, to the prejudice of any one whether within Canada or not; or
- (b) that a person should be induced, by the belief that it is genuine, to do or to refrain from doing anything, whether within Canada or not.
Making false document
(2) Making a false document includes
- (a) altering a genuine document in any material part;
- (b) making a material addition to a genuine document or adding to it a false date, attestation, seal or other thing that is material; or
- (c) making a material alteration in a genuine document by erasure, obliteration, removal or in any other way.
When forgery complete
(3) Forgery is complete as soon as a document is made with the knowledge and intent referred to in subsection (1), notwithstanding that the person who makes it does not intend that any particular person should use or act on it as genuine or be induced, by the belief that it is genuine, to do or refrain from doing anything.
Forgery complete though document incomplete
(4) Forgery is complete notwithstanding that the false document is incomplete or does not purport to be a document that is binding in law, if it is such as to indicate that it was intended to be acted on as genuine.
(5) No person commits forgery by reason only that the person, in good faith, makes a false document at the request of a police force, the Canadian Forces or a department or agency of the federal government or of a provincial government.
Punishment for forgery
367. Every one who commits forgery
Use, trafficking or possession of forged document

368. (1) Everyone commits an offence who, knowing or believing that a document is forged,
- (a) uses, deals with or acts on it as if it were genuine;
- (b) causes or attempts to cause any person to use, deal with or act on it as if it were genuine;

- (b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
(2) For the purposes of proceedings under this section, the place where a document was forged is not material.
Proof of Offence[edit]
Forgery (s.367)
- accused made a document of some monetary value

- the document was false
- the accused knew the document was false
Use forged Document (s.368)
- the accused knew the document of some monetary value was forged
- the accused unsed the document as if it was genuine
Mens Rea
The mens res for forgery under s. 366(1) requires an "intent to deceive" which requires an intent that is more than mere "carelessness or negligence". The intent to deceive should generally "be coupled with an intent that the document be used to someone's prejudice, or that a person be induced to act in a certain way." Prejudice need not result as long as there was an intent for the document to be treated as genuine.[1]

Health Alert: BMI
CINCINNATI (Liz Bonis) -- A report released just moments ago says if you're pregnant or having a baby sometime soon your weight may be critical to your baby's survival.
This study just released from the Journal of the American Medical Association says pregnant women with a high BMI, or body mass index, have an increased risk of stillbirth and infant death. Body mass index is a weight for height measurement.
Researchers analyzed information in 38 separate studies on BMI and pregnancy to find this out. They found even slight increases in a mothers BMI were associated with increased risk of fetal death, stillbirth, and infant death. Experts who analyzed the report say here's what a mom needs to know: it's not the weight itself that may be putting a baby at risk for dying. But rather the complications that come from it. These complications can include high blood pressure, diabetes, and a condition called pre-clampsia in pregnancy. They think it has to do with the fact that fat cells can cause these because they produce inflammation in the body.
Now you fight inflammation through a healthy diet and exercise. So trainers we talked to about BMI at the TriHealth Fitness and Health Pavilion Tuesday said if your doctor gives you the okay to be walking just go at your own pace.
Don Gallucci, a TriHealth personal trainer, said, "Go the pace you can, if you have friend think about if you have a conversation with that friend as you are walking. You can talk in a sentence but not a paragraph, maintaining a pace where you can converse a sentence at a time."

Third, the murder of Israeli and Palestinian civilians in this current conflict cannot be justified under any guise, as neither a tactic of national liberation nor as an "honest" military mistake. Part of our current difficulty in the Middle East can be traced to conflicting policies and double standards. The Bush administration vigorously and rightly condemns attacks (by a minority of Palestinians) on Israeli civilians. But where is that same condemnation and outrage when a 1000-pound (American-made) bomb is dropped on an apartment building in the Gaza Strip?
Most Americans would not accept daily human-rights violations, collective punishment, and civilian killings as a tool of state policy. So why do our representatives in Washington tolerate such behavior by a supposed democratic ally? Mr. Sokol's apparent justification for why some Israelis (a minority to be sure) have come to advocate the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians embodies the kind of moral and intellectual cowardice that underlie these contradictions.

YotaPhone 2 Dual-Screen Smartphone Gets Its Debut December 3
Smartphones are mostly similar, barring differences in performance, attention to detail and features that these days can seem pretty minor, especially on paper. YotaPhone is a different kettle of fish, a device from a Russian company that boasts a fairly standard smartphone display on one side, but also comes complete with a power-saving e-ink screen on the back. Generation 1 of the device… Read More
Phones Go Back To The Future
I'm no fan of LG's rear smartphone control keys — but turns out the company had its finger on the pulse of looming hardware disruption when it ushered in those backside smartphone controls last summer, with the G2. The back of the smartphone is becoming a space to watch. Read More
First-Gen YotaPhone, The Dual-Screen E-Ink Hybrid Smartphone, Goes On Sale In UK — Its 6th Market

Next-Gen YotaPhone Follow-Up Unveiled, With Full-Touch E-Ink Rear Screen
Russian mobile-making startup Yota Devices has just unveiled the next generation of its dual-screen smartphone, the YotaPhone. As with the current first-gen model, which went on sale in Russia and select European markets last December, the handset's flagship feature is that it's two-sided, with a full colour touchscreen display on the front and a low-power consuming e-ink display… Read More
The Android-Powered, Dual-Screen YotaPhone Launches In Russia And Beyond For €499
Remember the YotaPhone? The delightfully kooky Russian smartphone that pairs a bog-standard LCD screen with an eInk display on its rump? It's been teased for a launch for months now, but the company behind it has just spilled the beans at a press event in Moscow: the YotaPhone will launch in Russian and Europe today complete with a confirmed €499/19,990 RUB price tag, right in line… Read More
The Dual-Screen YotaPhone Will Launch Internationally In December
Russia-based Yota Devices has been working on a curious beast called the YotaPhone for over a year now, and it's gained quite a reputation for itself because of its split personality.

The launch date was one of the last big questions left… Read More

The YotaPhone Has An E-Ink Display On The Back And That's Simply Awesome
Okay, hear me out. The duel-sided YotaPhone is not a gimmick. It makes sense. On the back of the YotaPhone is an e-ink display that can mirror anything displayed on the main screen. And because e-ink screens do not require battery life, these images are available even if the phone battery dies. Get it? Probably not yet. Read More

What role will Devonta Freeman have?

By Tom Carpenter | ESPN Insider
The Atlanta Falcons hope that Steven Jackson can stay healthy this year and lead their backfield after he posted a career-low 3.5 YPC during an injury-riddled first season with the team. Nonetheless, they also looked to the future by drafting Devonta Freeman in the fourth round.

I bought 2 sets for my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan with the base "Infotainment System" based on others reviews and they were cheap! Well, I didn't have the mounting problems other reviewers had and they sound great. Definitely a huge improvement over the stock speaker and rival sound of much, much more expensive speakers. Clean sounding with tight bass. They're spec'd 65-20K, but they sound richer then that. Worth more then I paid and I would recommend for at least factory upgrades.

Football rumour: Tottenham bid €15m for M'Vila
The French media is reporting that Tottenham Hotspur have made a formal bid of €15m for Rennes central midfielder Yann M'Vila. Rennes want a fee closer to €20m but their less-than-golden financial situation means that Tottenham's offer could be enough to seal the deal.
M'Vila, 22, was part of the France squad that failed to spark at Euro 2012.

Immigrant requests strain offices
SAN DIEGO — Schools in Yakima, Wash., are taking nearly a month to deliver transcripts to former students. The Mexican consulate in Denver introduced Saturday hours last month after passport applications spiked by one-third. San Diego public schools added five employees in a new office to handle records requests.
Schools and consulates have been flooded with requests for documents after President Barack Obama announced a new program allowing young people living in the country illegally to apply for two-year renewable work permits. Up to 1.7 million people may qualify, which would be the broadest stroke to bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows in more than 25 years.

"Loved this design- have gotten a ton of compliments from friends! The paper is very high quality, heavy weight which impressed me. I've been a fan of Wedding Paper Divas for years and I always come here for all my wedding related needs."
"I am very pleased with my bridal shower invitations. I was looking all over the place for an invitation with the color guava in it. These were perfect and customer service was wonderful. I will order again."
"After getting my wedding invites from WPD, I wanted to get my shower invites here too. I offered to get them for the girls to help with the cost of my shower. I was having a hard time trying to figure out what I wanted exactly when I saw these. They were clean and simple and came in PURPLE, which was perfect. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are! I thought it was especially helpful to prompt me to put my registry information on them."
"My sister ordered these for my bridal shower in the glamorous grape. They are beautiful-simple, yet elegant. So many compliments have been received!"

Zip up the soft sherpa-lined Billabong Women's Atticun Jacket and head far south to uncover the mysteries of the Incas's alleged flying machines. As you summit Machu Picchu, the Atticun's snap storm flap and sherpa lining take the edge off the high-altitude chill, and once you round a bend you see a native hang glider zoom over your head and arc a long turn into the gorge below. To get a better look, remove the hood's wind-blocking sherpa trim and watch as he fades into the distant desert.

Subject to the whims of the Tar River, The River Golf and Country Club's 18-hole course guides players down a winding path with few straightaway holes within its 6,391-yard length. Ten of the holes feature a dogleg turn of some degree, from the slight bend to the left in the fairway of the 1st hole to the violent rightward turn at the 15th hole. These, coupled with the four par 3s, challenge players to swing powerfully without overshooting their targets or accidentally landing their balls in a stork's nest. Additionally, the river itself comes prominently into play on several holes, calling for fairway hops on the 1st and 10th holes and a dramatic tee shot over water on the par 3 11th.
Course at a Glance:
Flakes of ice float through the frosty air, twinkling in the light. Rosy-cheeked children skate across the glittery ice, clutching their parents' gloved hands and shrieking gleefully. Though it seems as though it belongs in the pages of a winter fairy tale, this is the scene of a typical August afternoon at Polar Ice House. The hot summer sun burns brightly outside, but the temperature inside the vast indoor ice rink remains a brisk 45 degrees.
Although the wintry conditions make the rink a less than ideal venue for a bikini fashion show, the cold environment is perfect for the skating lessons, hockey games, and public-skating and hockey sessions that the rink hosts year-round. The center's attentive instructors lead students of all ages and experience levels through fundamental skating skills, progressing to advanced techniques, such as jumping, spinning, and karate chopping aggressive abominable snowmen, once students have mastered the basics.
With its first swing of the tee in 1917, Paschal Golf Club is a public course that has played host to legions of golf lovers, weekend warriors, and even the legendary Arnold Palmer. The verdant nine-hole course can be played from four different tee boxes, offering a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Golfers can loop the nine-hole course twice, allowing them to correct errant shot selections on difficult holes such as the eighth, which presents a forced carry over an elongated pond to reach the green, a heavily fortified zone guarded by bunkers on both sides and another water hazard behind. The tranquil Richland Creek trickles through the course, treating eyes to frequent sightings of wildlife such as deer, birds, and grazing golf carts. A clubhouse, snack bar, and pro shop cater to players as they unwind or stock up on gear, and a putting green warms up pendulums before rounds.:m]]
A forest of punching bags dangles from the rafters at Sweat Functional Fitness Training, where athletes throw jabs and hooks as instructors motivate them to push to their limits during each workout. Modeled after boxing training, the workouts supplement floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee with strength training and kettlebell drills to light the path toward slimmer and stronger physiques. Patrons of all ages and fitness levels are welcome, and the goal of the fast-paced workouts is not to train championship fighters, but to inspire fit-seekers to whip into peak physical condition.
Like the plot of Rocky, Sweat Functional Fitness Training revolves around boxing, but has something for everybody. The trainers also lead fitness classes in TRX suspension training and kettlebell training, in addition to high-intensity indoor and outdoor boot camps.
Professional artists M. Theresa Brown and Stephen Filarsky channel more than 20 years of experience at the easel to guide students during two-hour art workshops, parties, and afterschool kids' programs. Workshops elucidate the process of re-creating stunning artworks that depict abstract felines, rustic tobacco barns, and fractals grazing in wintry landscapes. The instructors supply all of the materials and techniques needed to craft masterworks, and encourage participants to hang their take-home paintings in high-traffic hallways. Adult students supply their own beverages at select BYOB classes, and young aesthetes expand their horizons in kids' classes that encompass drawing, painting, sculpting, and telekinetic printing.
Haunted Forest at Panic Point sends brave visitors inching along a half-mile trail, hoping to make it past 10 jarring horror scenes and dozens of ghouls trying to separate visitors from their groups. The Haunted Forest is one of more than a handful of different attractions at Panic Point, which spreads out across 50 acres. Guests can also endure complete and utter darkness while traversing the path on the Dark Walk, or they can hitch a lift on the Howling Hayride.
Though many of the haunted attractions are best for those 12 and older, Panic Point offers two youngster-friendly attractions: the Zombie Shootout and Menacing Maze. In the Shootout, thrill-seekers can take aim at zombies with laser guns. The Menacing Maze is Panic Point's only monster-free attraction, since monsters are notoriously bad with directions.

I was visiting the Overstock.Com site and clicked on the jewelry section. One of the first items that popped on the screen was this ring. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and the price was great too. I decided to give it a try and order it, and I'm very glad I did. This is a lovely ring, well made, substantial amount of metal, and the center stone is pure and brilliant. Colors just keep flashing at me all the time. The smaller stones on each side of the ring are clear and brilliant also. One of the things that really makes this ring so pretty is the high setting and the lovely profile it has. The gallery and the basket are really eye-catching and look like something one would find on a ring costing thousands of dollars. I'm very, very impressed and I have the ring on my finger as I type right now. This is definitely a keeper!!
I just got this ring in the mail and it is beautiful. It is not too large (comparable in size to a 2 ct. real diamond depending on the table/cut). It is also not set too high for the size of the center stone. I compared it to my 1.47 ct. real diamond and it is a smidge larger. The only thing is, this ring is much cleaner and without flaws, very brilliant. My diamond is nearly colorless at an F, but, this ring's center stone is truly colorless. My diamond also has a slight inclusion underneath one of the 6 pronges, this ring is flawless...super clean...plus my platinum has lost it's polish over the years whereas this ring is brand spankin' new. So, all in all, you could tell it is fake if you examined it from like 6 inches. But, under inside light, or an intimate setting, there is no way to tell this is not the real deal. Can't speak for in the daylight because I haven't checked yet. You can't beat the price, grab it.
I ordered this ring after being dissapointed with another cz ring I bought. I have only had the ring for 3 days and I am already getting compliments. The stone is slightly bigger than I expected and up close you can tell its a fake but over all I LOVE THIS RING!!! I wear it with a cz band and find myself admiring it at every red light . I hope my review helps you... Thank You Overstock.
This ring IS stunning, I won't dispute that. But, do NOT clean it with jewlery cleaner, as it actually eats the finish on the ring. Stick with soap and water. Other than that, it's great.
I am going on vacation and did not want to wear my expensive diamond engagement, so when I saw this ring I had to order it. It is much prettier and convincing in real life. I though it would be cheaply made, but that's not the case. I wear this ring everyday and people compliment me on it all the time. This is the best purchase I have ever made.
I bought this ring about a week ago for my girlfriend as a small Christmas gift. I had her try it on before Christmas to see if the fitting was correct. The fitting was great, however the stone on the ring is a bit large. It was larger than her finger width. It looked pretty fake due to the large stone on the ring. If you have large fingers, maybe this ring would be good for you.
i bought the ring out of curiosity re the quality and i was blown away, it is fabulous and won over the girl
I bought this ring five years ago when I was pregnant and my wedding ring would no longer fit. I got so many compliments on it that I continued to wear it as a right hand ring after my son was born. I'm now need the smaller size due to weight loss so I bought it again. After nearly daily wear for five years, it still looks great! I can't wait to get my "new" ring in the right size. I highly recommend this ring!
Beautiful, a sparkle you wouldn't believe and looks like a REAL diamond. I have my wedding and engagement rings that I always wear but I work with my hands all day which get very dirty. This ring looks beautiful and hopefully will withstand all the abuse I put my hands through. I will find out considering I just received today. I ordered it last Friday and it was in my mailbox today (Monday). I absolutely give it 5 stars..... a great purchase for my early birthday present !!! Thank you overstock.com !!

Some clarification on Wriggle's:
Wriggle was a player whose name was added to an in-game concept (like Graz). The item, I don't think, was his/her idea, but I'd be willing to bet that the reds who knew about the Touhou Wriggle made the item a lantern to be funny. I'd also heard that the player Wriggle was named that based on the Touhou, but that's just hearsay.
When Lux came out, I laughed SO hard. For so long.
Also, I was at pooshlmer right before logging onto these forums.
I'm saddened by the sheer amount of Touhou IGNs that are taken/level1. I made Reisen lnaba (with a lower-case L), though. <3
Konpaku Youmu
And the ranked team named Gensokyo that only has one person in it D:<
Junior Member
Favorite is Youmu by far.
Sincerely, my favorite characters are Hong Meirin, Yuyuko, Prismriver Sisters (Poltergeist Trio) and Reisen.
Man, I love fighting those guys, especially because of their music.
I don't really get it why people MUST come here just to make fun of what people like. Yeah, we like Touhou, got a problem? It is a really hard game even in easy mode, great sounds, funny/great/interesting characters.
People make fun of japanese culture (Anime/Manga/Etc) without even knowing anything outside of the stereotype.

Looks as if the hackers are not done with Sony, even though the movie studio caved into demands to cancel the release of the James Franco-Seth Rogen comedy 'The Interview.'
Instagram has purged millions of fake and inactive accounts, resulting in massive drops in follower numbers for celebrities, companies, brands and regular people. Which celeb took the biggest hit? Justin Bieber.

Roger Ebert's review of Jennifer Arnold's heartwarming 2010 documentary, now available on Hulu.
Katie Dellamaggiore's inspiring documentary covers two years in the history of the school chess team, during which one team member, Rochelle Ballantyn, approaches her dream of becoming the first female African-American grandmaster in U.S history. During the same years, the team is under a constant threat of losing its budget in state financial cutbacks.
There is no cinematic way to show a chess game, unless you have a very expert audience. Photographing, for example, a devastating move that results in checkmate means nothing unless you've lived through all the moves that led to that moment. But you can photograph eyes and smiles, and the pride on parents' faces. And Rochelle's glow as she's presented with the title of master, and the four-year college scholarship awarded by the same tournament.
Sixty-five percent of the families with kids in I.S. 318 are below the federal poverty level. The school's long-standing after-school chess program has produced a lot of victories in recent years, but "Brooklyn Castle" happens at a time when it reaches a mighty peak. The kids are guided by friendly coach John Galbin and warm teacher Elizabeth Vicery, herself ranked at the expert level.
But if you know chess, you realize that a coach can't win for you. A coach can discuss strategies and areas of the board and well-known openings, but eventually every player ventures into that unknown land where there are more possible moves than atoms in the universe. All you have is your mind as it tries to find its way through the infinite better than your opponent can.
As a player of mediocre strength, I have no hope of playing at the level achieved by these students. But if I win, I have proven myself better than the person seated across the board from me, and every player knows the finality when the other player sadly turns over his king, signaling surrender. We know it even better when we do it ourselves.
In "Brooklyn Castle," we see the players meeting after school, hanging out, traveling to tournaments that for some represent the first air travel in the history of their family. We also see the rising self-esteem of a team member like Patrick, who has ADD. That can be devastating to a chess player, and the evidence that his game has improved must be more meaningful and encouraging than any level of therapy.
Note: "Brooklyn Castle" won the Audience Award at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival.

Nepal is a mountainous, less developed kingdom that straddles the boundary between the Indian and Himalayan tectonic plates. In Nepal, landslides represent a major constraint on development, causing high levels of economic loss and substantial numbers of fatalities each year. There is a general consensus that the impacts of landslides in countries such as Nepal are increasing with time, but until now there has been little or no quantitative data to support this view, or to explain the causes of the increases. In this paper, a database of landslide fatalities in Nepal has been compiled and analysed for the period 1978–2005. The database suggests that there is a high level of variability in the occurrence of landslides from year to year, but that the overall trend is upward. Analyses of the trends in the data suggest that there is a cyclicity in the occurrence of landslide fatalities that strongly mirrors the cyclicity observed in the SW (summer) monsoon in South Asia. Perhaps surprisingly the relationship is inverse, but this is explained through an inverse relationship between monsoon strength and the amount of precipitation in the Hill District areas of Nepal. It is also clear that in recent years the number of fatalities has increased dramatically over and above the effects of the monsoon cycle. Three explanations are explored for this: land-use change, the effects of the ongoing civil war in Nepal, and road building. It is concluded that a major component of the generally upward trend in landslide impact probably results from the rural road-building programme, and its attendant changes to physical and natural systems.

Tag Archives: Teton Crest Trail
Ask Me: Can You Suggest a Backpacking Trip in the Tetons That Won't Be Hard to Get a Permit For?
I enjoy your website—lots of good stuff on there. I'm planning on doing the Teton Crest Trail from the tram [at Jackson Hole Resort on Rendezvous Mountain] to Cascade Canyon. I had this trip planned last year for the first week in September and we had to cancel. We were going to camp at Marion lake, Death Canyon Shelf, and South Fork Cascade Canyon. So this year all of the permits are gone. I know I could possibly get this permit first-come [up to one day in advance at the park]. For a backup plan, I was thinking of camping outside the park. Maybe the first night just north of Marion Lake and one or two night in Alaska Basin. What are your thoughts on this, and have you ever camped outside the park on the Teton Crest Trail?

Ask Me: 8 Great Big Dayhikes in the Tetons
Hi Michael,
I love your blog, very inspiring. I am taking a family trip out to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks with my family at the end of June/early July (about 10 days in the parks). I understand it is the most crowded time of year, but as a teacher and coach and with a wife in education administration, our time off is around the summer busy times. I have two girls age 8 and 10 and we will not be going as BIG as you normally do. We will be staying in various hotels/cabins in and near the parks, but we do intend on trying to get in many dayhikes and see both the popular spots and some off-the-beaten-path spots.
I have read your "Ultimate Family Tour of Yellowstone" post and it is excellent. I have a question about Grand Teton National Park. Continue reading →
Photo Gallery: Backpacking Grand Teton National Park
By Michael Lanza
After at least 17 trips into the backcountry of Grand Teton National Park, I still can't get enough of these sharply serrated peaks and deep, cliff-flanked canyons, the alpine lakes and icy creeks, campsites with jaw-dropping views, or the explosion of wildflowers in summer. I count two camping areas in the Tetons among my list of top 25 favorite backcountry campsites of all time; but really, other spots where I've pitched a tent in this park would make almost anyone's list. I've hiked all or parts of the Teton Crest Trail—step for step, one of America's most fabulous backpacking trips—multiple times, including with my kids. Continue reading →

Chalet Schatzi, La Rosiere
- Mumsnet Reviews
- More Information
Your Reviews
"The Chalet is in a great position opposite the main…"
The Chalet is in a great position opposite the main slopes, at the top of the nursery slopes and a short stroll to the six man chair lift.
The bedrooms/suite we had consisted of two bedrooms a large living area and bathroom plus another sepaate cloakroom. Great views across the mountains.
The shared area for dining/living downstairs is rather basic (furniture is a bit tatty) and lacking in much character and I can imagine it gets packed when the chalet is full which it wasn't when we went.
The food was exceptional - we were very lucky as we had a chef from one of the chalet hotels when we went. The children's high tea looked and tasted good too - cottage pie, fish mornay, meatballs etc.
Childcare was fantastic - many of the staff went out of their way to help and the children loved the games and songs. The enthusiasm of the staff was infectious.
A great holiday.Read moreLess

Whale Vista Cottage lets you enjoy a close-up, captivating view of the ever-changing oceanfront action. The spectacular ocean views are seen from every room. From the spacious decks or a plush living room chair you can relax and watch a sleek Coast Guard cutter ride the waves, grab the binoculars and spy on the pelicans and sea gulls, watch the occasional sea otter feeding just beyond the rocky shore, or gasp in awe as a huge whale flips its tail and rolls against the rocks below. Whale Vista Cottage provides some of the best whale watching available in Depoe Bay—the 'Whale Watching Capital of the World.'
Why is Whale Vista Cottage so special? Read the Reviews!
Depoe Bay and the Central Oregon Coast offer plentiful vacation activities. Depoe Bay is a small ocean front town with world class golf (3 courses within 15 miles, including incredible Salishan at Gleneden Beach), gourmet restaurants, art galleries, casinos, deep sea fishing/whale watching tours and oodles of shopping including a 65-store outlet mall (in nearby Lincoln City). You'll find plenty to keep you entertained!
Experience an Awesome Ocean Front Vacation
Whale Vista Cottage is located only minutes from Newport, Lincoln City and Salishan Golf Course. Beautiful sandy beaches await you at Fogarty Creek State Park (2 miles) and Beverly Beach State Park just a few minutes away. Whale Vista is a beautiful private home offering an exceptional oceanfront vacation experience for you, your family and friends.
3 night minimum on some holiday weekends. Limit 6 guests. Taxes and cleaning fee extra. $10 per person per night over 4 guests.
Keywords: Oceanfront Home, panoramic views from most rooms, decks, balcony, picnic terrace, privacy on a quiet street a short stroll from the 'world's smallest harbor' and the heart of town.
Patti and Michael are long time practitioners in the arts -- a former Gallery owner and a Theatrical Promoter. We now run a boutique tax firm catering to creative professionals.
Stephanie Wiarda purchased this house in 2012
40 years ago Patti first saw Whale Vista Cottage and fell in love with it. Since then, most trips down the Oregon Coast have included a stay in Depoe Bay (and a stroll on the quiet road that passes by Whale Vista!) The tiny harbor, the unique collection of boats that live there, the resident and passing whales, the endless excitement of the ocean patterns there, the many activities and beaches nearby and the serenity of the location are what charmed us to this magical place.
Whale Vista Cottage is steps away from the Oregon State Whale Watching State Park in Depoe Bay. The uniqueness of the house, its furnishings and serenity set it apart from other rentals in the area.
It is a special place to relax and lose yourself in the majesty of the Pacific Ocean!
Three small parks (one of which is a whale watch center), Coast Guard Station, adventures on fishing and whale watching boats. 'The World's smallest harbor' to explore.

|by Mr Credit Card
What happens when you a car on credit and then default on the credit card?
One of our readers, David, had this question:
What if I a 4k car with 1k down (total 5k) on a credit card and then make the minimum payments for a few months before I "can't" afford them. What happens?
If you finance a $4,000 car on credit and then default on the payments, it will ruin your credit. Let's take a closer look at the situation though.
What happens when you default on a credit card?
Defaulting on a credit card sets a specific path in motion:
- The credit card company will begin collection activities - This begins with calling your house, and calling you at work or on your cell phone. If you refuse to speak with them, or continue not making payments, you move on to step two.
- Collection Activities become more persistent - You will get several letters in the mail. If you refuse to speak to your credit card company at all, or tell them they have the wrong phone number, your account will go to what is known as "Skip – Trace". The skip trace divisions of credit card companies exist to track you down. This means that they will literally call everyone in the phone book who shares the same last name as you do, among other things.
- Your debt will be sold - After refusing to make payments over several months, and having no contact with you, the bank will most likely cut it's loss and sell your debt to a debt collection company. Or they will outsource it, and collect a percentage of anything the company manages to get form you.
- If you refuse to speak to the professional collection company (and they will use even more aggressive and rude contact methods) then the collection company will usually seek a judgment.
- You will have to go to court and settle your debt, or your wages will be garnished.
- The only way the debt will disappear after this point is if you either pay it, or declare bankruptcy.
So, that's the bad route. At every step along that path you will have the opportunity to make a payment arrangement and take care of the debt.
Alternately, If you were to put $1,000 down, finance $4,000, and make the payments for a few months, you could:
- After making your payments for several months, contact a debt negotiation agency. This agency will represent you to the credit card company, and negotiate to decrease the amount of your debt drastically.
- In order for the debt negotiation company to do this properly, they may make late payments in order to reduce the total amount of your debt. (Not all companies do this, but some do). It means that you will have late payment records on your credit report. You can challenge those late payment marks later, but there is no guarantee that you can have them removed.
- The debt negotiation agency will have to close your credit card account in order to negotiate and reduce your debt.
- You will also need to be prepared to make a larger, one – time lump sum payment. If the debt negotiation company can negotiate the debt down to around 33 cents on the dollar, then that is the payment you will have to be prepared to make in order to get the settlement.
- Debt negotiation companies can help anyone reduce their debt, even those that probably can afford the payments. However, this method does damage your credit score. You will have to decide whether or not several late payments, a closed credit account, and a record of a settlement on your credit report is worth reducing the $4,000 debt of the car down to around. $1,320.
Aside from the obvious ethical factor, you will be paying more in interest on new loans for years (because of your ruined credit), completely negating any reduction in the price of the car over the long haul.

When we first started dating Jeremiah bought me several little cut glass figurines similar to this one...
Then our first Christmas as a married couple I got him a thermometer.
Perfectly good gifts except that...
I hate knick-knacks and...well...why in the world did I think he would like a thermometer?
We laugh now at how absurdly off we were in our early gift giving days!
Thankfully we have learned a lot from those early years together and have refined our gift giving abilities!
That means I stick to things that have cords for him =)
I'd love to hear of any funny stories of gifts you gave or got for/from your significant other before you really knew them!

the first Christmas Trev and I were dating he came up to VA to visit. He hadn't gotten me a present (yet) but i had gotten him one (go figure). So, he made me go to the mall and pick out my present which as you know goes against all of my strongly held beliefs about presents being surprises. Ugg, it was so awkward, "um, can you buy me this?"... Thankfully he has learned (or should I say, been trained) since then. ;)

Retailers Post Mixed August Same-Store Sales (Update 1)
L Brands (LTD), the parent company to Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works and La Senza, posted comparable-store sales that fell just short of expectations, up 2% vs. the 2.2% analysts expected, according to Thomson Reuters.
L Brands' net sales for the four weeks ended Aug. 31 rose 5.8% to $704.7 million vs. the 2012 four-week period that ended on Aug. 25, 2012.
Comparable sales at both Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works fell on a year-over-year basis, while sales at La Senza rose 8% vs. flat in the comparable period.
Shares fell 2.1% to $56.90.American Apparel (APP) said net sales slipped 1% last month, to $55.7 million. Comparable sales in August rose 3%, fueled by an 11% increase in online sales, but far below the 22% jump in August 2012. Retail store sales rose 2% in the month, while wholesale dropped 6%, the company said. "The 3% comparable sales increase in August is particularly meaningful given that we faced a 25% increase in August last year," said Dov Charney, American Apparel's chairman and CEO, in a statement. "We also believe the decrease in estimated wholesale net sales was primarily a timing difference in the placement of month-end customer orders and we expect a return to positive sales growth for the wholesale segment in September." American Apparel reiterated its difficulties in switching over to a new distribution center in California, but that it is making progress. "Among other things, we have substantially fixed integration issues with information systems, strengthened our training efforts and made necessary personnel changes. We are beginning to see light at the end of this tunnel. That being said, in the event there are further integration issues or if there are systems related disruptions in the future, we will most likely incur additional unanticipated costs and reduced sales," Chief Financial Officer John Luttrell said in a statement. American Apparel shares closed flat to finish the day at $1.40. August same-store sales growth at The Buckle (BKE) rose 1%, above estimates of 0.4% growth. Net sales for the four-week period ended Aug. 31 increased just 0.3% to $101.1 million vs. the prior-year fiscal month ended Aug. 25, 2012. Share fell 1.2% to $51.70. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

If you were wondering what Kate Moss for Topshop looks like NOT on Kate Moss, then today's your lucky day (but not mine…because I'm not Kate Moss).
If you were wondering what Kate Moss for Topshop looks like NOT on Kate Moss, then today's your lucky day (but not mine…because I'm not Kate Moss).
The way we get dressed is such a personal thing. Unless you have to wear a uniform everyday, there's an entire thought process that is choosing an outfit. Of course this process differs depending on the occasion (for example, you'll probably spend more time on putting together a look for a wedding as opposed to what you'll wear running errands on the weekend). But how exactly do we go about this? Have you ever really thought about it? Let's go ahead and break down the art of getting dressed.
I thought about doing a Throwback Thursday in honor of Kate Moss's birthday (it just so happens to be on the only day of the week you can throw it back, apparently) but I just did that for the other British Kate (as in Middleton) one week ago today. I couldn't ignore the fact that THE Kate Moss is turning 40 so I thought we should do something a little differently to celebrate her four fabulous decades on earth.
So, here's a look at some things we can thank Kate for.
Spring ad campaigns that is. Ironically it's -14 degrees here in Chicago right now so looking at pretty Spring clothes is just what the doctor ordered.
So, out with the old. In with the new. Let's see what happens when models + photographers + expensive clothing get together for the SS14 ad campaigns.
It was a good run, guys. In case you haven't heard, Marc Jacobs just left Louis Vuitton after being their Creative Director for 16 years. His recent collection that showed just yesterday at Paris Fashion Week was his last. From pajama dressing to fur in some interesting places, and everything in between, we're throwing back this Thursday to look at Marc's evolution at Louis Vuitton.

- 0Oct 19, '12 by maueehi saty20, go to bon.texas.gov youcan see the intructions there in endorsement. you can download application form. but first u need to request fingerprint card because u need to submit that along with your application form page 1&2 of the application form and $200 fee. send to texas bon. then 2 copies of page 8 verification of license, 1 must be sent to california with $60 fee and the nclex rn passing letter and if u are a foreign nurse 1 copy of page 8 verification of license and they need to send it to texas. total of $260 and the courier fee. hope this helps.

I passed nclex last May 2009, its 3 yrs and 9months now. i just want to clarify if im still eligible to endorse it to texas. i learned from bon texas that 1 requirement is to pass nclex exam, which i already have. what's confusing to me is the another requirement of bon texas stating that you must be practicing or if not you took or passed the appropriate RN exam during the past 4yrs. which exam are they talking about? the Philippine board exam or the CA nclex exam. because i passed the local board exam last june2008, its more than four years now. and i dont know if that's the required one. But if they mean the Nclex exam, mine is just more than 3 yrs now. am i still eligible to endorse it or not? pls help me.
- 0Feb 13, '13 by kris_13I'm a CA NCLEX passer without SSN.I will endorse it to Texas. I'm confused regarding the requirements I have to send to texas. I have to write CA BON for verification of licensure and ask to forward it to Texas. Could I submit my application to Texas even without the Verification of licensure from CA because CA BON will be the one to send it to Texas? Do I need to write Texas BON that I already request CA to send my VOL to them so that's why it's not included in the application that I would send to TX?
- 0May 17, '13 by crystal_rnFor all those wondering if they are able to endorse "expired" pass letters/test results frim CA BON to TX BON, it is indeed possible! I took and passed the NCLEX in Oct 2007 and when my file expired I gave up on it coz I did not think it was possible to endorse the results anymore. But just a couple of months ago I started researching and thought to myself that I should just go and try my luck. So I filled up the necessary documents and passed all the requirements, and thru God's goodness I recieved my Texas license number (at least online, I have yet to recieve the paper license i the mail) last May 1, only two months since I sent all the documents. This forum has been very helpful and contains almost all the information needed in the endorsement process. But its always best to contact Texas BON directly if you are unsure of what to do coz they would know how best to advise you. Like when I read that a requirement was that the NCLEX must have been taken 4 yrs prior to endorsement unless practicing/working as a nurse I emailed TX BON and asked if my recent hospital experience here in the Philippines and abroad would be considered and they replied yes it would. So I send a notarized copy of my employment certificates along with the application form. I hope all of you are also successful in endorsing your results! :-)

That they dont require CES.SSN?
and i just like to asked together with the form of endorsement is fingerprint and payment of 200 dollar how about Picture of passport size is it also a requirement?hope for youre response
yeah, endorsing the license is really easy.
yes, they don't require ces and ssn for the endorsement of license.
you don't need the picture really. all you need for the endorsement is the filled-out endorsement form of texas, the $200 check, the letter from your original state stating you passed your NCLEX exam, the fingerprint card as well. and that's it...
OK, I know this a "blast from the past" but may be some folks could chime in.
I'm also foreign-educated nurse who's been living in US almost for the past 25 years. I passed my NCLEX back in 1993 in NY where I practiced for the 20 years. I also have active NJ RN lic by endorsement. We recently moved to Texas and I'm in the process of obtaining RN license via endorsement. So far so good. Both of my RN lic from NY and NJ were endorsed via NURSYS service. I had my livescan finger prints done (though it still shows as pending on TX BON website). I also passed TX BON juriceprudence exam.
But here's my question. There is one more item shows as "required" when I check my application status online: It says "lisensure Russia". ??? I never claimed to have any foreign license. All my nursing career for the past 20 years has been right here in USA?
I was born and raised in USSR (Russia), also my initial nursing ed was done there, but I've never been licensed in Russia or worked thereas a nurse . I actually have left that country within one month after graduation from nursing school. In all fairness, I haven't contacted TX BON yet, but just wanted to hear if someone else had same/similar situation? I know when I endorsed my NY RN license to NJ they did not ask me about foreign "license" b/c this has never been part of my app, neither it it is for TX BON?
Your feedback is much appreciated.
