Resort Cuisine: The Meh, The Bad, and The Ugly
G'morning! Blogging to you straight from the comfy chairs at Panera this morning:
I just finished a boot camp session, now I'm having a little breakfast, and then heading into the office for the day:)
When Shane and I went on vacation to the Dominican Republic last week, we stayed at an all-inclusive resort. Being the vegetarian, healthy foodie I am, I was a little leery, but told myself I was going to relax and not be so concerned about the food. People don't go all-inclusive for the food anyway 😉
I was so relaxed, in fact, that I abandoned my vegetarian ways.
Once with grouper…
and once (unbeknownst to me…) with a crab…square? I'm not sure, but either way, after consuming these, I came running back to vegetarian land – at least in the Dominican Republic.
Word to the wise: just because you're on an island does NOT mean you'll be eating fresh, local seafood. FYI.
The above dishes would actually be classified in the "bad" or "ugly" categories, but most of the food was "meh." There were, however a few yummy items, but we'll save them for the end 😉
Shane and I were actually really excited to try out the tapas place on the resort, but left somewhat frightened.
The above crab…square came out first, even though we didn't order it. Hm. Moving on. Next, our entrees came out. I ordered the vegetarian everything (which is even more confusing as to why they brought me crab) and this was my main dish:
Not horrible, not delicious, just…odd. Fried something or other, cous cous something or other, a shot of pumpkin cream (?) and a shot glass of carrot sauce (?)
The next dish was actually something I really enjoyed, but then that was the end of the meal.
Vegetable stuffed kale! Yes – everything in Punta Cana is white – the asparagus, the spinach, the kale, etc. What's up with that?!
OK, let's keep going with the ugly so we can get to the meh 😉
Anytime a menu had dishes marked "vegetarian," I got pretty excited. So when we went to lunch as I saw a vegetable sandwich on the menu, I happily ordered that, along with the somewhat leery cold vegetable soup with green apple.
Three pieces of white bread, toasted, with tomato, lettuce, and mayo. Cold fries.
Room temperature soup. Need I say anything? Again, I'm not complaining, as we didn't choose an all inclusive for the food. Lesson learned!
Moving on to the meh's!
Now, breakfast was something I could work with. Thank goodness – because I'm a HUGE breakfast person. I dined on pretty meh/decent omelets:
Coffee w/ leche:
But mostly yogurt + oats + PB + fruit:
Decent! Yummy, even 😀
For Shane's breakfast, he mostly opted to feast on pork bacon, and then follow it with two different beverages:
Coffee and a bloody mary. What else…? lol
His bloody mary's came with a tree, too:
They made a better nose, though 😛
Basically, after every meal, Shane and I would ask each other how our food was and we'd reply without fail, "meh" or "oh, it wasn't too bad." hehe
Other notable "meh" mentions:
Chef Boyardee pizza
Spring roll
And now, we've made it to the YUMMY foods! This section mainly consists of dessert, but one meal stood out from all the others:
This is the meal we had on a distant island. It wasn't resort food, but good, homecooked Domincan chow. Can't go wrong with beans and rice! Oh, and the tomatoes were the most delicious tomatoes EVAH.
The resort vegetable risotto was pretty stellar, too:
Chocolate, Five Ways:
Nearly impossible to be bad with a name like that!
Coconut ice cream with coconut cake:
Again, for coconut lovers like me, it would be a sin for this not to taste delicious!
And although the food at the resort got a resounding "MEH," the drinks were where it was at.
Shane and I both had "usuals." I chose my "usual" early on as a gin + club soda w/ lime. It was light, refreshing, and drinkable:
But when a fruity drink was in order, we were both ALL about the coco locos:
MUST. create. at. home.
So, the moral of this story is to set your expectations low when going to an all-inclusive resort, even if trip advisor has hundreds of reviews saying how delicious the food is 😉
Oh, and cheers!
This post is worthless without pics. So, here it is.
I never thought a thumb could hurt so much. Weh!
Now, I'm obviously being a bit facetious with this post. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining – I obviously and thoroughly enjoyed the time of my life on this trip!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone! Got a busy one? Not too bad over this way

UEFA Champions League Group E preview: Holders visit returning Juve
Chelsea - who were not at their best in the English Premier League throughout last season - surprised the football world with a series of terrific aggregate wins in the competition before defeating Bayern Munich on penalties in the final.
It was the first time the West London club had been crowned champions of Europe, something which will make their task of defending their title almost 'impossible' according to manager Roberto Di Matteo.
"Every opposition is going to play with extra motivation against the holders," Di Matteo said.
"So it makes our lives more difficult. Even in the Premier League, I'm sure (QPR manager) Mark Hughes would have tried to motivate his team on Saturday by telling them they're playing the European champions.
"I'm aware no team has defended the trophy and I'm not surprised because it's such a difficult competition to win. To win it twice in a row has proven impossible so far, because it's so competitive."
Chelsea have been in good domestic form and top the Premier League table with three wins and one draw from their four matches so far.
Particularly crucial in the club's success has been the form of Belgian midfielder Eden Hazard, who has already contributed a string of assists for Spanish striker Fernando Torres.
Hazard - who moved from Lille for a reported fee of 32 million pounds - was not the only piece of big business Chelsea did in the off-season.
Brazilian midfielder Oscar (25 million pounds), Nigerian attacker Victor Moses (nine million), German midfielder Marko Marin and Spanish defender Cesar Azpilicueta (both seven million) also joined the club, with Di Matteo's signings looking astute to date.
Juventus won Serie A last term and are also top of their league, with the Turin-based club having won all three of their matches so far.
Goals from Emanuele Giaccherini, Mirko Vucinic and Kwadwo Asamoah in the second half saw them come from behind to beat Genoa 3-1 on Sunday.
Juve have also made a host of off-season signings, with the likes of Sebastian Giovinco, Mauricio Isla, Asamoah, Martin Caceres, Lucio and Nicklas Bendtner arriving at the club.
Qualification into the knockout stages is not assured for either side though, with the presence of Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine sure to cause problems during the group stages.
Shakhtar proved their worth in the 2010/11 season when they embarked on a run to the quarter-finals, only to be knocked out by eventual champions Barcelona while they won the last ever UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) in 2009.
The presence of Brazilians Willian, Douglas Costa and Luiz Adriano in addition to Darijo Srna, Dmytro Chygrynskiy, Razvan Rat and Eduardo mean the Shakhtar squad cannot be taken lightly.
They open their campaign with a home clash against FC Nordsjaelland of Denmark.
Nordsjaelland sit third in the Superliga with forward Joshua John having scored six goals in five league appearances for the club this season.
They will be up against it though, particularly at the Donbass Arena, a stadium where Shakhtar have rarely lost in recent years.

In Ga 55mph is impeding traffic.
In Ga 55mph is impeding traffic.
I can't believe it hasn't been said......
I CAN'T DRIVE FIFTY-FIVE!!! (yelled in rocker voice of Sammy Hagar)
"Real wars of words are harder to win. They require thought, insight, precision, articulation, knowledge, and experience. They require the humility to admit when you are wrong. They recognize that the dialectic is not about making us look at you, but about us all looking together for the truth."
My wife's Volvo wagon gets it's best mileage(33 mpg) at or a little over 65 mph. My 6cyl/5spd F150 gets it's best mileage(23mpg) between 52 and 55 mph.
I like doing 52 mph on the Sawmill River Parkway(I-87). I single handedly piss off more motorists in one day than a hundred Critical Mass-holes can piss off in a whole year
I drive 4000+ miles a month in various rental cars. A lot of these cars have real time mpg indicators. We'll call it an ongoing experiment of mine. Some of these cars get their better mpg at 72mph than they do at 55mph. Some of them get better mpg at 85mph than 35mph. That being said, it's the opposite with other cars. Different cars are efficient at different speeds and different conditions. But as general rule of thumb, I drive 95mph on low congestion interstates. And 90mph in when going through GA so I don't get ran over.
Another fun thing to do is find other drivers going as fast as you and take turns drafting. You'd be surprised the difference in fuel economy.
You aren't alone there. It's the same in Oregon.
If I'm in a gas saving mood I drive just fast enough so that no Semi's pass me. That's just irritating.
I don't know if this saves me any gas though because I eventually get trapped behind someone who doesn't know how to drive at a steady speed
"I didn't see him/her" is a confession, not an excuse.
He's in the middle or far left lane because,
He's not driving a Semi Truck so he's doing the right thing while costing everyone else mpg because they have to slow down for him and then get back on the gas.
He's on the phone and can't be bothered with the rules of the road at this time?
He's clueless and has been since birth?
Maybe this should be a pole

No I don't do 55; I'd be ostracized from the road if I did that. I find anywhere from 60-65 to be a fair compromise, and I do get very good fuel economy in this range. My car starts to shake past 65 anyways.
My time is way too valuable to worry about saving a few pennies to slow down.
Unfortunately, 2/3's of my annual milage comes from commuting back and forth to work. So, I've tried to slow down, driving maybe 5mph under. Gets me that last 10% in FE, bumps it up to 50 or so. I gave in and bought a Scangauge, partially so I could read problem codes (if and when they pop up) but mostly 'cuz I really wanted to see what kind of mpg I was getting, real time.
That said, with the family loaded up, I sometimes will go whatever speed it takes to hold the left lane. If that gets too fast for me (typically 90mph or 25 over, whichever comes first), I'll move over another lane. But the real crazies seem to live in the right(er) lanes. Speed up/slow down sorts, the guys who can't be bothered to slow down and would pass you in the ditch at 50 over, people who can't merge--by driving fast enough to hold the left lane (or middle one), I find my blood pressure stays lower. Plus, with the kids, I have plenty of encouragement to make 3+ hour trips shorter by any means.

Question: given 4k/month in driving time, you probably have to fill up any particular car a few times, no? Have you compared the calculated by hand method vs whatever the cars computer thinks it got for the tank? I've heard many complaints (all the web, granted) that those real time readouts are pretty optimistic--but that they have gotten much better in recent years.

'69 Raleigh Sprite 5 speed (AW instead of S5, for now)
I have always driven at or below the posted limit. This thread has inspired me to drive at or below 90% of the maximum legal speed from now on, to stay ahead of the trend. I believe in setting a good example for those less intelligent than myself.
At 55mph, RPM in 6th gear was around 900 - way too low for efficient running. Any uphill grade, even a slight one, would cause the car to buck, lurch, and foul plugs. So 55mph meant 5th gear and much higher RPM. Increasing speed to 65-70 would get you around 1500-1800 in 6th gear, which gave me much better economy than 55mph in 5th. I even managed to pull 30mpg on one trip, with the AC blasting and a few occasional blasts of the throttle while accelerating on on-ramps. Not bad for a 5.7 liter V8.

Depends on the car actually.
My current car (Audi A4 2.0T Quattro) likes 65 mph in 5th for the best gas mileage. Drop it to 6th and it suffers. In 4th, same thing. 5th/65mph works best on the highway for me.
My old car (Porsche Bosxter) liked 4th gear at about 110mph. Well...that's a lie....I liked it, gas be damned in that car! LOL.

Scranton to go after scofflaws who didn't pay trash fees in 2012
After collecting since August $425,000 in delinquent trash fees from 2002-2011 with a new aggressive approach, Scranton now will target garbage scofflaws from 2012, officials said.
The city expects to mail out this week notices of delinquent trash fees from 2012 and the prior decade, said city Treasurer Christopher Boland.
"The city is aggressively going after people who have not paid their garbage fees. We're going to go after the 2012 people now," Mayor Chris Doherty said.
The new approach began Aug. 1, when Scranton launched on the city website a searchable database of trash accounts through 2012 that shows whether they were paid up or in arrears.
The database was followed on Oct. 14 with a public-notice listing of 4,624 delinquent accounts from 2002 through 2011, which represented some $7.63 million owed to the city. That voluminous list encompassed 15 full newspaper pages in the Oct. 14 editions of The Times-Tribune.
The city netted $111,000 in delinquent garbage fees in August, $83,000 in September, and $231,770 in October, or a total of $425,770, he said.
The online database and published list aimed to encourage scofflaws to pay up before liens eventually are placed on properties that continue to remain delinquent, officials have said.
Now, the city expects to be issuing this week 5,000 notices of delinquent trash fees from 2012 and the prior decade, and likewise follow those notices with a published list of delinquencies and eventually liens for noncompliance, Mr. Boland said.
While delinquencies from 2012 have already been posted on the online database since Aug. 1, they were not included in the Oct. 14 published list because written notices for last year's delinquencies had not yet been issued, Mr. Boland said.
The 5,000 notices to be mailed this week will be the first written notices issued for last year's delinquencies, and they represent $1.37 million owed to the city, he said. These notices also are nearly one-quarter, or 23.7 percent, of the 21,073 trash accounts that existed last year, Mr. Boland said.
"I want to keep pressure on these people," Mr. Doherty said of those who have not paid their trash fees. "There's no excuses."

Saw a video of Shaq fighting Oscar De La Hoya over at '64 and Counting. Tonight you can catch a double dose of the show on ABC starting at 8 with a replay of Shaq vs Ben Roethlisberger, and then a new episode at 9 with Shaq taking on Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh in beach volleyball. Perhaps you may even catch a glimpse of the executive producer of the show. No, probably not.
I admittedly didn't get to watch the first episode, (Scott did) so I don't know how intense these 'competitions' are. The clip of the fight with De La Hoya certainly didn't throw up any red flags, as the two were about as civil with each other as sparring partners usually are. But I still have to wonder if these little tests of Shaq's athletic prowess are really what you want to see from your 37 year old center.
I also realize that I'm more old school than most of the people that read this site. I would much rather read about Shaq in the gym with LeBron and Mo Williams getting ready for the upcoming season than see Shaq swimming laps against Michael Phelps or LeBron taking off on a world-wide tour right before camp begins. I have no idea what life is like for a multi-millionaire world class athlete, but I can speak to what life is like for a 37 year old. Your body doesn't recover quite like it did at 30. In his coming to Cleveland press conference, Shaq tried to sell us on the idea that he missed around 3 seasons worth of games and so those are still in the tank. Um, no. Thanks Shaq. As Jack Nicholson said "Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here." Age doesn't care whether you played 82 games last season or 22. Another year on those knees is still another year.
So no matter how entertaining it is to watch Shaq going up against the world's best athletes, I for one would much rather he be preparing himself for the season. Physically and mentally. Hopfully he's doing that.

Summer Camps Featured on MetroScope
Gary Bloxom of MetroScope interviewed music faculty Emily Ross and Justin Smith about Marylhurst's summer camps.
Dr. Jesse Stommel began his teaching career in the field of 19th century literary adaptations. A decade later, he is now at the forefront of blending English and the humanities with the digital landscape.
Jesse spent eleven years at the University of Colorado Boulder where he received his bachelor's, master's and doctorate. He went on to teach classes in film, English and rhetoric. He most recently spent a year at Georgia Tech as a fellow and analyzed digital artifacts and visual imagery. Jesse remembers a moment in his career when he needed to determine his research and teaching focus. He asked himself, "What do I do on my days off? What do I enjoy and get excited about?"
Open education, social media, blogging, Twitter chats, horror film, haptic interfaces, hybrid learning. These topics started to find their way into Jesse's courses. "I decided to incorporate the things that got me excited into my academic life," Jesse said.
The result? Jesse taught a class on monsters (Monstrous Bodies) and developed a website for the course. Syllabi and course assignments reside permanently online, showcasing student work as well as inviting anyone interested in the topic to peruse the material. He has developed the "Twitter essay," facilitated Twitter chats for online classes, co-founded the online journal Hybrid Pedagogy, and orchestrated a massive open online course about MOOCs. He is currently co-leading the month-long writing project DigiWriMo, in which participants work to produce 50,000 words of digital text.
For Jesse, he isn't interested in merely teaching about digital technology. Instead he utilizes digital spaces and technologies as pedagogical tools. "The digital is one possible access point to the humanities and literature," he said.
Dr. Keri Behre agrees wholeheartedly about perceiving the digital as an access point, or methodology: "Digital isn't just a medium," she explained. "Rather than being solely about studying literary material in a digital format, we must also ask how the medium affects our use of those texts. How are these texts different objects when digitized? How does their new format affect the way we approach and respond to them?"
As a student at Florida State University, Keri wrote her master's thesis on the authorship of medieval medical texts. She took a two-year break from personal study and served as adjunct faculty before pursuing her PhD at the University of Kansas. Her thesis, "Renaissance Fare: Appetite and Authority on the Early Modern English Stage," examined--among other things--the role of blackberrries in Shakespeare's Henry IV. Her work explored the cultural integration of food and how the beliefs of a particular food affects one's identity, relationship and experience with that food. (She is giving a talk entitled Understanding Shakespeare's Apples at The Art Gym on October 25.)
To Keri, food is a material culture that offers itself as a methodology for scholastic and humanist inquiry. The digital is yet one more methodology that can be used to examine literature and the humanities. "At our core, all humanists are interested in what it means to be humans," Keri said. "History, philosophy, law, literature -- all of these disciplines seek to understand the human condition in different ways. As digital humanists, then, we work in any and all of these disciplines to wonder: What does it mean to be human in a digital age?"
Together, Keri and Jesse are fusing their respective areas of expertise to offer a truly innovative program: the BA in English and Digital Humanities. The EDH program integrates literature, digital technologies, the humanities and service-learning in a hybrid format. Students will take most of their courses online, as well as make two to three visits to the Marylhurst campus in Portland, Oregon.
It's still a traditional English program, Jesse pointed out. Students will study Dante, Chaucer and Brontë. Yet students will be using the digital space and digital humanities as their methodological framework. Jesse and Keri want to empower students to remake and recreate texts.
"This program opens up the English degree in ways it hasn't before," Keri said. "The digital creates a truly collaborative experience."
In past classes, for example, Keri had her students create an edition of a scene from Shakespeare through the use of Google Docs. Not only did the project give students ownership over the material, but it encouraged a robust spirit of collaboration.
"The curriculum of this program has been built entirely in 3D digital space. Students will finish as experts in the digital humanities," Keri said.
Both Keri and Jesse were attracted to this program because it presented an opportunity
to fill a perceived gap in online education.
"I've always been dissatisfied with teaching online courses," Jesse shared. "It's a very controlled learning environment. Because of the small nature of Marylhurst as an institution—and the support I've received—I've been able to put together my dream program."
"There is nothing else like it," Keri said of the EDH program. She has experience in teaching online classes as well, and she observes a deficiency in many online courses.
"There is absolutely no reason online teaching has to be inferior to on-ground teaching," she added, noting that the EDH program offered the laboratory in which she could explore and experiment. "I wanted to be a part of that."
In addition to the online coursework and on-campus visits, students will design and complete a service-learning project that connects coursework to their individual communities.
"Work is only meaningful as it relates to people," Keri said. "When students are asked to share their learning with their own communities, they gain a sense of responsibility and ownership of the material."
Keri's interest in public humanities dovetails with Jesse's interest in open education. He plans to facilitate Twitter chats with his students and post syllabi online where anyone can access them. Such public accessibility is not a publicity stunt, Jesse explained. Rather, it allows anyone who is interested in the topic to join in, even for an hour.
He likens the practice to a classroom door. "At the very least, you don't close the door to your classroom," he noted.
The English and Digital Humanities program launches its first cohort in January 2013. What are the professors most excited about?
"It sounds so cliché, but I'm excited to develop relationships with the students," Keri said. "The program, in many ways, is them. I'm excited to see what they will bring."
"I can't wait for the students," Jesse agreed. "Keri and I have spent months building this program, but it won't come to life until the students arrive."

It's time to take a look at how you rated The Crimson Horror in the Doctor Who TV polls. First of all, the finalised scores out of five:
Not as high as the previous two episodes in the second half, although it beat Gatiss' other episode Cold War. So it currently stands at 7th place in the overall Series 7 rankings ahead of A Town Called Mercy.
The overall average ranking of all episodes now according to the polls is:
- The Snowmen
- The Angels Take Manhattan
- Asylum of the Daleks
- Hide
- Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
- The Bells of Saint John
- The Crimson Horror
- A Town Called Mercy
- Cold War
- Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
- The Power of Three
- The Rings of Akhaten

Usually I leave the World Net Daily beat to Ed, but this came up in my Google alerts, and I couldn't resist.
The European Court of Human Rights is set to deliver a key verdict early next week in a major case against the United Kingdom surrounding anti-Christian discrimination.
I'm not sure exactly how the UK managed to "surround" this alleged anti-Christian discrimination, but the four cases concern two women who were wearing crosses in violation of company policies prohibiting jewelry, plus a counselor who refused to provide sex therapy to gays, plus a borough clerk who refused to officiate at gay marriages. I'm not sure what the specific legal merits are in each case, though the reason this lawsuit is coming up in the ECHR is because the Christians have failed to win their lawsuits anywhere else. Then again, look who's representing them.
"These cases are of a primary importance because they raise the matter of the toleration of Christians by the Western postmodern society," explained director Grégor Puppinck with the European Center for Law and Justice, which filed a brief in the case supporting the plaintiffs.
The European Center for Law Injustice (excuse me, "and Justice")? That would be the expatriate branch of the American Center for Law Injustice (darn, did it again), would it not?

Beaufort County leaders are stepping aside - for the time being - when it comes to deciding the fate of the county hospital.
The board held another special session Wednesday afternoon - most of which was spent in closed session.
They had originally planned to speak with Community Health Systems, but CHS unexpectedly withdrew its proposal Tuesday.
Instead, commissioners talked with their attorneys about the lawsuit hanging over their heads, and decided their next step is to wait for the hospital board to make a new recommendation.
The leading contender to take over Beaufort County Medical Center has withdrawn its proposal.
In a letter to county officials, Community Health Systems says the issue of who operates the hospital has "become a divisive force among local residents, the medical community, and hospital employees."
CHS Senior Vice President Kenneth Hawkins said in his letter that it has become increasingly apparent that the community may not be ready to move forward with a decision. He cited the 5-4 vote last week in favor of CHS and Monday's court injunction.
To read the entire letter from CHS, click the link at the top of this story.
CHS was picked last week over Greenville-base University Health Systems to operate the hospital. County commissioners, which have to give final approval, had not yet voted on the proposal and a superior court judge issued an injunction Monday preventing any immediate vote.
County commissioner and hospital board member Hood Richardson says he remains committed in securing the best possible arrangement that will provide residents the highest quality health care. He says they must look at an offer from LHP, Incorporated as well as continue to study the UHS offer.
The hospital has sustained financial difficulties in recent months. In November, the trustees voted to cut 5% of the pay for those who make $10 or more an hour.
Previous Story
A temporary injunction is now in place against the Beaufort County Commissioners, which means they can't vote on the future of Beaufort County Medical Center for at least the next ten days.
The request for an injunction was filed by the Burch Law Office on behalf of James and Phyllis Boyd. It was granted today.
The request suggests the public has not been given the correct voice and the correct information about the future of the hospital.
Last week, the hospital board recommended control of the hospital be given to Community Health Systems, a Tennessee-based company.
Many citizens want the hospital to be controlled by University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina. A rally against a potential CHS transfer was held Saturday in Washington.
The request for the injunction also suggests the county commissioners will violate a statute if they vote on the matter Wednesday, when a special session is scheduled. The injunction request also alleges a violation of open meetings law in connection with this issue.
Chanting "UHS" in unison and signs in hand, hundreds of people rallied Saturday afternoon in Washington to discuss the future of the Beaufort County Medical Center.
Many protestors are upset at the hospital board's recent recommendation that Community Health Systems is the best choice to run the hospital, instead of University Health Systems.
Dr. Brenda Peacock says, "I feel like the decision given to county commissioners was not in the best interest of this hospital long term."
The board's recommendation now goes to Beaufort County commissioners. On Friday there was a public meeting held with the commissioners, but then it led to a closed session.
Donna Woolard says, "They are refusing to listen to us because they are having repeated closed door sessions."
So protesters took to the streets Saturday to get their voices heard. Some protesters say there are several reasons they think UHS would be the best fit.
Derik Davis says, "Number one, the proximity of UHS to Beaufort County Medical Center, it's only twenty minutes away. Number two, there already is some relational connectiveness between the two facilities as is.
Donna Woolard says, "I don't care about the money. I care about the continuity, the professionalism and the quality of care.
But there are those that believe Community Health Systems may be the best fit including Commissioner Clifton Gray. He says, "If UHS wants to truly lease the hospital or lease with an option to purchase at the expiration of the lease term like the CHS proposal, then the offer would begin appearing more attractive. But to own the hospital and its contents for 24 million is outrageous."
There is another special session scheduled for Wednesday at 2 p.m.
Hundreds of people attended a rally Saturday afternoon to discuss the future of the Beaufort County Medical Center in Washington.
The event was held at 1247 Highland Dr. across from Tideland Mental Health.
The rally came in the wake of this week's recommendation by the hospital board that Community Health Systems was the best choice to run the hospital.The recommendation was then given to the
Beaufort County Board of Commissioners.
The commissioners held a public meeting Friday night to discuss the issue but spent most of the time away from the public.
Commissioners opened the special meeting by saying they'd be moving into closed session for about two hours. County manager Paul Spruill says the commissioners planned to talk about the recommendation the hospital board made to have Community Health Systems manage the hospital.
More than 100 people turned out, but the crowd shrunk slightly as the evening wore on. Evelyne Roberson waited the entire night. "We're taxpayers and we're not going to sit here and let someone dictate to us what they're doing and telling us how it should be done and not allow us to speak."
The commissioners came out of closed session after about an hour and half. They announced they wouldn't be taking any action Friday night. They have another special session planned for Wednesday at 2:00 pm.
The Beaufort County Board of Commissioners will convene this afternoon to prepare to review the proposals for new management of the hospital in Washington.
The Beaufort County Regional Health System's Board of Trustees voted for Community Health Systems of Tennessee, in a 5 to 4 vote.
Today's meeting is at 4:30 p.m. at the Beaufort County Community College multi-purpose room. The county manager says parts of the meeting may go into closed session.
Another meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 12 at 2 p.m.at the same location. The commissioners are scheduled to begin the actual review of the proposal from Community Health Systems.
Meanwhile, a group calling itself Citizens In Favor of University Health Systems says it will hold a rally Saturday in Washington.
The group says speakers will include several local doctors and hospital board members. It will be held at 1247 Highland Drive and begins at 1:00 p.m.
The vote was 5-4, and will now go to county commissioners. Voting for CHS were Hood Richardson, Howard Cadmus, Clifton Gray, Allen Roberson and Alice Mills Sadler. Voting against CHS were Dr. Brenda Peacock, Edwin M. Hardy, Grace Bonner and Suzanne Gray.
A negotiating team earlier reported that it is deadlocked between Community Health Systems, a Tennessee-based hospital group and University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina.
The hospital has sustained financial difficulties in recent months.
In November, the trustees voted to cut 5% of the pay for those who make $10 or more an hour.
Community operates more than 126 hospitals in 29 states, with an aggregate of approximately 19,400 licensed beds.
Beaufort County commissioners are expected to conduct their own interview process with at least the top two contenders before they make a final vote.
Previous Story
We may soon have answers about the future of Beaufort County Medical Center.
The board is meeting today to hear from the negotiating team that has been speaking with parties interested in taking over the hospital.
The meeting was originally scheduled December 27 but was postponed because of the snow.
An agenda sent out Thursday reports there will be a recommendation to the full board from the negotiating team on the various proposals and that there could be a vote on those proposals.
In recent months, it was reported interested parties included University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina, Tennessee-based Community Health Systems and Texas-based LHP Hospital Group.
The hospital has sustained financial difficulties in recent months. Also on the agenda for Monday is an item about accounts receivable.
In November, the trustees voted to cut 5% of the pay for those who make $10 or more an hour.

An inside source for Kotaku has detailed a host of new information about PlayStation 4, including charges for online services, a revamp to PlayStation Network, and console features.
According to Kotaku's source (the same who originally leaked the next-gen codenames Orbis and Durango), PlayStation 4 will be home to a new online service titled "PlayStation World," which is set to replace PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Network. This new online service will supposedly allow you to use a smartphone or tablet to chat with your friends and buy games, which are automatically downloaded to your console.
The source details a few more interesting feature: "...every PS4 will come with a PlayStation Eye; that a new spectating feature will let you watch other friends play games from your console's dashboard, even when you don't own the game they're playing; and that the console will support local network play via Vita."
All of this might come at a price, though. Kotaku's source claims that Sony will charge for "most" online features for its new console. What that "most" might entail is not known at this time. It's possible that "most" refers to features and benefits normally associated with PlayStation Plus and not online multiplayer, but we should find out at Wednesday night's PlayStation Meeting.
Sound off, PlayStation fans, and let us know what you think of "PlayStation World" in the comments below. Also, make sure to pay attention to PlayStation Universe as we livestream the entire event for all to enjoy!

Capital punishment is the execution by the state of a prisoner for a capital crime. Capital Punishment is also commonly known of as the death penalty. In the Old Testament, capital punishment was the punishment for murder (Num. 35:16), adultery (Lev. 20:10), incest (Lev. 20:11), bestiality (Lev. 20:15), homosexuality (Num. 18:22), etc.

Regulation Nation: What Consumers Really Think About the Feds in Our Food
The question of whether or not the government should regulate the food industry seems like a simple one, but it's really an incredibly complex topic. Variables like price, availability, variety of offerings, and quality of products are all involved. Also, there's the issue of how much regulation the food industry should have. Should it all be regulated? None? Or maybe somewhere in the middle?
To help us make sense of the issue, Sullivan Higdon & Sink (SHS) has produced its latest White Paper, Regulation Nation. Through their research, they've learned the issue of food regulation comes down to a lot more than a simple yes we should have it, or no we shouldn't.
Regulation Benefits: Food is safer, healthier, better-quality.
Regulation Negatives: limit choices, restrict freedoms, and ultimately drive up costs.

Hurricane Irene has the potential to be a "catastrophic event," Al Roker told the "Today" show audience.
Friday's show led off with Roker in Duck, North Carolina. Standing on an ominously empty beach, Roker said that Irene, which is hurtling towards the East Coast, was "potent and dangerous," and led viewers through the deadly and destructive path the hurricane is likely to take. There could be, he said, storms, coastal flooding, beach erosion, winds, rains and flash floods as a result of Irene. Cities up and down the coast will be hit with anywhere between five and 25 inches of rain.
"This could be a catastrophic event up and down the Eastern seaboard for 65 million Americans," Roker said.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, February 5. BYU freshman Brittany Davis and New Mexico junior Becca Barras have been named Mountain West Conference Women's Swimmer and Diver of the Week, respectively.
Davis earns her second weekly award of the season after bringing home two individual wins and a relay victory, helping the Cougars beat conference rival Utah, 127-110. Her individual wins came in the 200 (1:52.52) and 500 (5:01.59) freestyles and she helped the BYU 400 freestyle relay quartet to a MWC season-best time of 3:29.51 on the way to the win.
At last weekend's Air Force Invitational, Barras turned in an impressive performance with three first-place finishes. In the 3-meter prelims, she scored a personal-best 513.65, then came back to score 498.00 in the finals to secure the win. The next day she completed her sweep by scoring 275.10 on the 1-meter and 347.10 on the platform.

Golson rises to challenge in rout
CHICAGO — Everett Golson has always enjoyed being presented with a challenge.
When he was younger, the 6-foot, 185-pound quarterback was often counted out and cast aside, mostly because of his small frame.
"I always liked people talking a little bit. That always helped me," Golson said.
So when Golson's shaky performance against Michigan two weeks earlier raised eyebrows from wary fans, Golson knew what he had to do against Miami.
"I put a lot of pressure on myself during the Michigan game," he said. "Coach (Brian) Kelly and Coach (Chuck) Martin wanted me to just come out (against Miami) and have fun."
The advice paid off, and Golson had a ball during No. 9/10 Notre Dame's (5-0) 41-3 creaming of Miami (4-2) on Saturday.
After sitting out the first three downs for violating team rules (Golson lost track of time while talking to a professor and was late to a team meeting), Golson attacked Miami in the air and on the land.
He was 6 of 6 for 76 passing yards and ran for 45 yards on four carries in the first quarter alone. He led Notre Dame on an 88-yard drive that was capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Theo Riddick.
"I thought Everett grew up (Saturday)," Kelly said. "He did some really good things throwing the football for us, managed some pressure situations very well and he had his best week of practice.
"It was important for me, after disciplining him, to get him back in the game right away. To let him know that I had trust in him, that I believed in him. I think that helped him to go in and be relaxed."
After Riddick's touchdown, Notre Dame scored two more times in the first half off of 22- and 32-yard field goals by kicker Kyle Brindza.
Miami scored its only points of the night on a 28-yard field goal from kicker Jake Wieclaw late in the first quarter.
When the second half rolled around, Golson passed his explosive performance onto Cierre Wood, who had also struggled in recent games.
Wood took the baton and churned up 53 of Notre Dame's 81 yards in the opening series of the second half, ending with his first touchdown of the year on a 2-yard touchdown.
Wood continued with more of the same throughout the third quarter, scoring again on a 3-yard run.
A flimsy Miami defense put up little resistance, and fellow tailbacks George Atkinson III and Cam McDaniel also joined in on the free-for-all.
Atkinson led all running backs with 127 yards, bolstered by a 55-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. McDaniel also found the end zone in the final two minutes of the game.
Wood finished with 118 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries.
The run game accounted for 28 of Notre Dame's 31 offensive plays in the second half and the Irish put together 6- and 7-minute drives in the process.
"We felt like we found a way to run the football (Saturday), and our game plan was situated on running the football, which equals time of possession for us," Kelly said. "We felt like if we could keep them from getting big plays, and we could run the football, that was going to be our recipe for success."
On the other side of the ball, the Notre Dame defense continued to play with the same sense of dominance that it has all season.
Miami got as close as the Irish 7-yard line late in the fourth quarter, but quarterback Stephen Morris threw the ball into the ground on fourth-and-1, allowing Notre Dame to hold its third consecutive opponent without a touchdown.
Notre Dame didn't force any turnovers or register any sacks, but the Irish defense did rack up five quarterback hurries.
Morris struggled to connect with his receivers all night, which — in a few instances saved the Notre Dame secondary from being blown wide open.
The defensive backs adapted, and freshman cornerback KeiVarae Russell finished with six tackles, second only to Manti Te'o's 10-tackle, one pass break-up performance.
Keeping yet another team out of the end zone can only boost the confidence of a young secondary, Kelly said.
"I think it just continues to build confidence in (safety) Matthias Farley," Kelly said. "It was big for the confidence level, but also they believe in themselves, and that's a good thing when you are moving into the next week with Stanford."

LIGHTNING STRIKES CASEY'S – Lightning struck the canopy over Casey's General Store in El Dorado Springs during a morning downpour on Thursday, June 5. As a gas delivery man was filling the underground tanks, gas fumes escaped thought the vents that run up the corner posts to the canopy at the time lightning struck.
El Dorado Springs Fire Chief Owen Elliot said, "It was like a giant Bic Lighter and it burned until the operator shut down the fueling operation."
Two firefighters, stopped at the corner of Hwys. 54 and 82, saw the lightning hit.
The fire department responded as did a City Utility truck. It was all over within 30 minutes. There was some damage to the canopy and Casey's couldn't pump any gas until later that night, according to Elliot.
Casey's Corporate Office was unavailable for comment.

Friday on tour!
My Birdy along the LSD bike path in Chicago.
Resting along the Marina in downtown Corpus Christi, Texas.
Carrymeobscuris ability to blend in with it's environment is thought to serve as a protective mechanism to camouflage it from predators... by assuming the colour of surrounding objects and using it's ability to mimic their shapes they are nearly invisible when they are still.
Population numbers are difficult to estimate because the carrymeobscuris is such an elusive creature and very few of it's habits are known save for their attraction to dark tunnels and trains.
The Raleigh Twenty (raleigh viginti conseres) was once a common sight across Europe and North America where they roamed in vast herds and although they were usually found in urban environments they have also been found in the countryside.
They are a hardy and long lived species with reports of them reaching ages of 40 years being common, conservation measures have been able to preserve this once abundant species and captive populations appear to be remaining stable.
conseres birdy urbana is a species that is being seen more and more and seems to prefer urban environments and it's main defense comes from it's agility and speed. It will also use surrounding materials like the traffic cone shown in this picture to break up it's line and make it less visible to predators.
This is my Mezzo at the end of the Monsal Trail in the the Peak District.

OP's pic needs more resolution.
Tern UNO along the river someplace between Toronto and Niagara Falls, 100km in so far for a 150km bike ride that day.
This was last year, but pretty cool backdrop.
It was taken in the Angkor Wat area.
Many urban dwellers may be unfamiliar with Itinerantur Fridayus as it normally ranges far from urban centres and civilization. Although it sometimes gathers into larger herds it normally travels alone or in smaller groups and like a camel, is able to carry large stores to sustain it over lengthy journeys where resources may be scarce.
A captive breeding and adoption program in the Pacific Northwest has ensured the survival of the species.
Love the photos, the humor and matching of colors.
People reading my blog already seen my folder sleeping in a tent and surfing the pacific. So I'll post a photo of the bike that started it all.

On a ~24 mile test ride. Thanks to a great bike store.
This feral species is spotted from time to time in the Australian bush. A program of hunting and culling has ensured it does not become a pest.
It tends to curl up when bedding down to sleep.
Jur a fine looking Brompton species for sure. The markings and ability to blend into the background with that camouflage are impressive :p

Delightful performance by the always-dependable Lamplighters. I have been a fan since the 1970s through the 1980s, but had not heard them in over 20 years, having moved out of state. In the interim they have ratcheted up their level of professionalism in terms of qualities of voice, costuming and staging even beyond their previous high standards. The Lamplighters would meet and exceed D'Oyly Carte's expectations were he alive today. Four, rather than five stars only because Princess Ida is not one of G&S's strongest works.

Excellent! It's nice to see a lesser-known piece that is as funny and fun as any of the other G&S "popular" shows. Well performed, lovely voices, beautiful sets and costumes, good music, live orchestra - what more could you want? I heartily...continued

A little bit disappointed with this. The staging was great, up to the normal Lamplighter standards. 38 performers plus orchestra. But honestly the male singers were very weak, other than King Hildebrand. Really detracted from the enjoyment.
Quotes & Highlights
This is the show that swept the awards at the International G&S Festival in Buxton, England: Best Production, Best Overseas Production, Best Director, Best Male Singer and Special Adjudicator's Award for Costumes.
A 20 year old treaty states that Princess Ida and Prince Hilarion are to marry when they come of age. That time has come, but Ida refuses to honor a commitment made on her behalf when she was an infant, and has gone off to the country to start a women's university. There she teaches an interesting variation on Darwin's theory: that man — not woman, just man — is descended from apes, and thus is inferior to women. The Prince, on the other hand, is an unabashed romantic, and decides to woo Ida and win her love. He and two friends make their way to the university, where they disguise themselves as women in order to enroll and get close to her…

Journal of a Demi-god: Mask of Twilight
A Costume TG Transformation Story by JanusDaGuardian
Pollux, also known to some locals as "the man-in-black", "black-robed angel", "creepy mugger", etc... looked out the window of the small principals office of the rowdy Manhattan high school, counting the number of ticks coming from the nearby clock. Several months had passed since he'd begun to rectify the disturbances in the realms he was entrusted to protect. The snow was gone, and the frequency of rain in the small corner of the world he now stood in was beginning to lessen. Summer was right around the corner, the sun teasing his bare hands as he gazed onto the streets of the aging metropolis that was New York City.
The door to the office clicked open. Pollux knew who it was, so he didn't turn around.
"You're late, Mr. Washington. Have a seat."
Jayden Alan Washington was a black teenager of about seventeen late-winters. He was slightly taller than Pollux, the teen's height ranging from 6'2" to 6'4". He had brown eyes, wore a pair of Echo, denim jeans and an open grey hoodie over a plain, red shirt. Underneath the black beanie on his head, his black hair was cut short, borderline bald.
Jayden sat down in the closest available seat, which was right in front of the principals desk."Where's Mason?"
"Your principal?"
Pollux finally turned about. "He's been reassigned. So, today, I'm your quote/unquote 'executioner'... Ultimately, the absence of his presence is of little consequence. I'd imagine that you would listen to him about as much as you always do."
Jayden snorted. "More or less... So, what the hell are you supposed to be? Some punk-ass mugger from the middle-ages or something?"
"No. I'm actually much older than that... but I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm here to talk about the future, Mr. Washington, and from what I've seen so far, your future does not look promising."
"No shit. You could tell?" Jayden's sarcasm was more than apparent in his tone.
"Although my eyes are keen enough to rival that of the most experienced hunter, I do not judge by mere outward appearances, Mr. Washington. I use a somewhat different method to find eligible people to fulfill the roles I am tasked satisfy."
Jayden said nothing, but Pollux could hear his right foot tapping on the floor.
"I can see that you are a very impatient man, Mr. Washington. You're a lot like your father in that respect."
Jayden stopped tapping. "Hell's my father gotta do with this?"
"Your father was a man of ambition... though somewhat misguided. When he first began stealing-- or should I say ' participating in illegal sales practices'--, it was to support his family, including you, your brother, and your mother. However, his ambition soon married greed, and one day, Fate caught up to him, as she does with many who tempt her, and now he's enduring--and will have to endure-- a lifetime of regret for the lives he's destroyed, including his family and those of two law enforcement officers, one leaving a wife and young boy. Based on what I've seen, his tainted ambition has been passed onto his son, a son who both admires and despises his heritage."
"You trying to accuse me of something, mister?!"
"There's no need to for me to accuse you of anything, Mr. Washington. I could convict you at any given moment. Please look closely at the screen in front of you."
Pollux pressed a bottom and a projector screen rolled out from above, right in front of Jayden's seat. A moment later, the white screen became filled with multiple video panels, each one showing a separate incident on the street, each one shuffling flawlessly through various camera angles, each one showing what was being exchanged, money, electronic equipment, guns and drugs, each one showing not only his face but the faces of his partners in crime.
Jayden went pale. He had no idea that he and his crew had f***ed up so badly. It was so shocking that he didn't notice how conveniently-set the camera angles were. Some were on the ground looking up at them whilst others seem way overhead looking down on them. Spy satellites could explain the latter. As for the others...
"I could show this to any judge and jury and you and your accomplices would sentenced on the first day, Mr. Washington. The reason I'm here though is because I've seen what you do with that money. In other words, I've seen your true self. Your mother, your younger brother, and your lover. As noble as you think your actions are though, the way you lead your so-called 'private life' will end not only your life but four others in the process. Five, if you count what will happen your son..."
"Son?! I don't have a f***in' son!"
"Wrong! You do! He is but a embryo in your lover's womb just starting to form a brain and spinal cord, but he is yours nonetheless."
"You've noticed Ms. William's absence, have you not...? The nighttime ritual you two performed together nearly twelve days ago produced the manner of success that you two clearly weren't expecting: In exactly thirty-eight weeks, four days, four hours, and fifty-one minutes, you will become the father of a healthy young infant. An infant who even now has destiny swirling around him. However, his life is in danger... If the future should remain unaltered, his life will be forfeited..."
"'Forfeited'? 'Future'? Just what the hell are you?"
"You will die, Mr. Washington! Tomorrow, at exactly 6:53pm, the planned 'heist of the century' that your compatriots have drawn-up will claim your life as well as the lives of the others. In her grief, Ms. Williams--Mia-- will take the life of your unborn son, the destined child, leaving her to live a long, miserable existence alone. Unfortunately, even if you decide not to go, you will not be able to persuade her to keep the child she is already preparing to destroy... I've come for two things, Mr. Washington. I seek the only thing that will prevent the child's death; a letter of encouragement written by your own hand to the woman who bears the proof of your endless love for her. I also seek your courage to disappear from this world in order to fill the role of a monarch destined to help a certain young man housing a sacred beast to rescue two worlds from a mere puppet and his malevolent master, who is the direct spiritual descendant of Demise himself. This matriarch, who's life and essence was nearly extinguished by someone with ambition that overshadows even your own, is in need an adequate...stand-in."
Jayden paused. "If I decided to punk-out, I'd be a dead man, and whether what your saying is true or not, I can't go through with it anymore."
"Remaining here would jeopardize Mia's life as well, and, more importantly, the life of your son. If you chose to live, exile is your only option..."
"Wait a minute. If I punk-out, they'll go after her, too!"
Pollux shook his head. "No, they won't. And even they did, I would not allow them to endanger the life of your wife, nor allow them to endanger your unborn son. Both of them have inherited a role to play in a story that has yet to begin, and I will endeavor to see that it is written."
"Wife..." Jayden sighed with a wry smile. "If only I could..."
"The letter you write will be sufficient to convey your feelings as long as you allow the words to flow from your mind to your hand--Nay... from your open heart..."
Jayden nodded. "A'ight. Where's my shitty pen and paper?"
Pollux reached into his coat and brought out a worn, brown-leather journal book, the kind with a flap and tie. He opened it and, after flipping through numerous pages, ripped out a blank one and handed both it and one of the principal's pens to Jayden.
Jayden took these with slight hesitation, but he soon set to work writing the kind of final message he wished to convey to his girlfriend. Pollux was pleased with what he saw. When the teenager was nearly finished, Pollux reached into his coat once more, pulling out a thin, black robe containing various patterns of gray, black, and pale-green, some swirly whilst others jagged, along with a even-more intricate black slit skirt...
"A perfect sync," Pollux said. "How do you feel, Mr. Washington?"
Where the taller and somewhat muscular teen once stood was a woman who stood near-even with him. Her skin was pale with a greenish hue. The sclera of her eyes were an other-worldly yellow, her irises a soft scarlet. Her long hair was orange like the dancing flames of a wood fire, part of it secured in a clasp that rested atop her new bosom. Atop her head was a dazzling headdress, which was only made for the leader of the Twili, the race she would soon be charged with.
Jayden, now Midna, frowned. "Like a straight man walking into a gay bar... I didn't think a white man could turn this blue, let alone a black one. The body and clothes are one thing, but the voice? Damn..."
Pollux, his head now bare, smiled. "It's more of a green, but you'll get used to it..."
Midna shook her head."I seriously doubt that."
"Are you ready?"
Midna sighed a soft, deeply feminine sigh. "No... but I'll be a'ight..."
With that, Pollux's green eyes began to glow as the surroundings began to blur, becoming obstructed by the wave of light that swept through the room.
"What's his name?" Midna shouted. "I-I mean, what will his name be?"
"Charlie," Pollux shouted back. "Charlie Jayden!"
"After her father and me, huh?" Midna whispered with a smile. "Sounds just like her..."
In an instant, Midna, Twilight Princess and the chosen leader of the Twili—disappeared from sight, leaving Pollux the room's sole occupant.
"He will be chosen to take up the mantle as the Guardian of Mars when a certain talking cat and an estranged son in the shape of the Senshi of Love and Wisdom come to enlist his aid..."
The long awaited Midna Mask TG. I didn't go for the transformation this time either, but I hope the story more than makes up for it. If not, I'll see about adding a description later on.
Mask of the Stars is up next, which will feature a transformation description on some level as well as some more story behind the main character. It will also be the last of the shorts before the Sailors-to-Suits arc, so it may take a little more time to finish than this one.

Quite the change to a lovely Princess!
although i was there was a transformation the awesome story makes up for it. good work.
sweet, i like the extra plot details added
Awwww, nice story! Good work Janus.
Excuse me. I meant, when would be the best days and times to call you up. Let me know via note.
Thanks. I'll be calling you for RPs shortly. Please let me know when the best times are in a note so that we can schedule a couple, okay?
Hyrule must've been seriously messed up by this malevolent force.
Ok now some things are starting to come into focus. Got a chuckle out of the last line.
I was not expecting that twist! WOW!
I'm surprised that this many people caught it. I do intend to finish that story by the way.
And ZING! with a reference to another of your stories. XD Nice tie in.
In so saying, I have come to realize that said character is not as well described as this one (the father) is.
Another well executed story. Kudos to you.

CJ'll have his turn in the spotlight. Not sure when that'll be, but I'm looking forward to it even more now.
Thanks for the feedback, Uncle-Ben.

Client-side templates have become a vital component of AJAX-driven websites. The web is undoubtedly trending towards sites that load content dynamically after the page loads, rather than all at once in the initial page request. This pattern allows web pages to become lighter and more responsive, which translates to a better experience for the user. However, the conventional server side templating and databinding techniques that web developers typically use aren't as effective anymore. That is why there are so many JavaScript template solutions that have popped up in recent years:
- ASP.NET Ajax 4
- ExtJs and XTemplate
- jQuery Plugins like Chain.js, jTemplates, jBind, etc.
- Google Closure Templates
Google's Closure Templates is the new kid on the block, and the subject of this article. One might wonder: Why do we need yet another JavaScript templating solution? The main advantage that sets Closure Templates apart from the other libraries is the included compiler. Other templating solutions either parse a string of special template syntax, or traverse through actual html elements with special markup or extra classes. When making light use of client-side templates, these solutions can work very well. But, as you start to build applications with extremely large datasets and complex templating, then performance starts to become an issue. These scenarios are where Closure templates begin to shine. Instead of directly using the template that you write, you run it through the compiler to output JavaScript functions that you can use in your code. This process is advantageous on two levels; the first is that the JavaScript functions outputted from the compiler are going to be optimized and extremely fast. Secondly, the compiler can also create server side compatible templates as well, so that you can write your templates once and be able to use them either in JavaScript or in server-side code. Unfortunately, the current version of the compiler can only generate Java code, and there is no option for .NET languages such as C#. This is a bummer for .NET developers, but even without C# templates, there is still great value in lightning-fast, compiled JavaScript templates.
Creating your first Closure Template in Visual Studio 2010
Let's start with a new ASP.NET MVC Project:
You can create a Web Application project if you are more comfortable with that type of project structure. Because we will be dealing with just JavaScript, it shouldn't matter.
After creating a project, download the compiler and JavaScript utility library. Extract the zip file, and copy both SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar and soyutils.js to your templates directory:
You will see in the screenshot above that I have changed the Build Action of SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar to "None", and Copy to Output Directory is set to "Do not copy". This ensures that the compiler is not compiled into the dll, and the file is not copied to the output folder. The latter is especially useful when using Visual Studio's publish feature, because the compiler is not necessary when deploying your website.
- A namespace declaration.
- One or more template definitions.
- A newline at the end of the file.
Go ahead and enter the following example template in your example.soy file:
{namespace closure.examples}
* Says hello to a person.
* @param name The name of the person to say hello to.
{template .helloName}
Hello {$name}!
Make sure that your soy file is encoded as ANSI, rather than UTF-8. Even though Google says UTF-8 should be supported, in Windows 7 x64 (and maybe other Windows operating systems and versions) this is currently not the case. And if you create a file within Visual Studio, it will encode the file as UTF-8 and you will get the following exception when compiling a template:
Exception in thread "main" com.google.template.soy.base.SoySyntaxException: In file example.soy: Tag 'namespace' not at start of line.
If you are unsure that your file is saved with the proper encoding, just open it up in notepad, and select File > Save As to see or change the encoding.
After we've included the necessary files in our project, it's time to make compiling templates a little more user-friendly. The jar file is pretty annoying to call from the command line and manually change the parameters for each of your different soy files. Visual Studio has a perfect solution for this, and it's called External Tools. This feature allows you to set up a VS menu item and seamlessly run commands from the IDE with just the press of a button. To do this, first click on Tools > External Tools from the menu:
From here, you can create a new menu item with the following parameters:
Title: Compile Closure Template
Command: C:Program Files (x86)Javajre6binjava.exe
Arguments: -jar "$(ItemDir)SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar" --outputPathFormat $(ItemFileName).js $(ItemFileName)$(ItemExt)
Initial Directory: $(ItemDir)
(Thanks to Tj Stewart for this tip)
Note that your Command entry may differ, depending on where your java installation resides on your computer. Here is what it looks like:
Once you have this setup, compiling your soy templates is as simple as selecting the soy file in solution explorer and pressing the "Compile Closure Template" button in the Tools menu:
When you attempt to compile a template, make sure to have your output window open. If there are any exceptions that occur during the compilation, this is where they will be displayed. If the compilation was successful, you should now have a new example.js file in the Templates directory. Note that it won't be added to the project automatically, so you'll have to add it yourself. Subsequent compiles for the same soy file will only require this step once.
Now let's create a page to utilize the new template, and call it example.html. We could create an MVC view, but it really isn't necessary since we are only dealing with JavaScript:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">   <title></title>

I'm using a little jQuery to make my life easier here, and notice that I am passing JSON with the Closure template parameters as the properties of the object. Your result should look something like this:
In summary, Google Closure Templates provide a scalable solution to client side templating by providing an understandable syntax in the form of soy files, with the ability to compile those templates into fast and efficient JavaScript functions that you can use in your pages. Even though there is no current support for reusing Closure templates in C#, there is still value in utilizing this solution in a Visual Studio project, especially when the External Tools feature makes compilations so easy and convenient.
I hope this article serves as a starting point to getting up and running in Visual Studio 2010. In future articles, I will be delving into more complex examples and explanations of Closure Templates in real-world scenarios.

Always a handsome hunk, Ryan Reynolds is featured on the front of the October 2015 issue of GQ magazine.
Always thinking of his fans, Ryan Reynolds brought a tasty treat with him when he appeared on "Conan" last night (August 4).
The "Van Wilder" hunk premiered the red band trailer for his new movie "Deadpool," which forced Conan O'Brien to give his show a TV-MA rating for the first time in his history as a late night host.
It won't be long before Marvel unleashes "Deadpool" into movie theaters nationwide, and until February 12, 2016 rolls around we'll just have to subsist on the newly-dropped teaser trailer.
The project is a long time coming, as Ryan Reynolds has fought for 11 years to bring it to fruition. And the "Van Wilder" hunk couldn't be happier with the finished product.
Given that they're both gorgeous human beings, it stands to reason that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' offspring will be models-in-the-making!
The "Van Wilder" hunk and his "Gossip Girl" wife shared the first photo of their daughter James on Thursday (May 14), posting an image of the infant's hand wrapped around Reynolds' finger.
The life of a celebrity is full of surprises and Ryan Reynolds was the victim of a "hit and run" in Vancouver, Canada on Friday (April 10).
While walking through the garage of the Shangri-La Hotel, the "Van Wilder" hunk was bumped by a paparazzo's car after the shutterbug snapped a photo of him.
His forthcoming flick "Deadpool" isn't slated to hit theaters until next year, but already Ryan Reynolds is in full-on promotion mode.
He knows the ins and outs of Tinseltown like the back of his hand, but that doesn't mean Ryan Reynolds wants a similar fate for his daughter James.
Stirring up excitement about his forthcoming flick "Deadpool," Ryan Reynolds posted a still image of his superhero costume via Twitter.
Also starring Morena Baccarin, Gina Carano and Ed Skrein, the Marvel Studios project is directed by Tim Miller and slated to hit theaters on February 12, 2016.

Current over the over the counter meds $160 per month. (Vitamins and other supplements to keep my organs from failing.)
Current prescription meds $200 per month *subject to grow*
LLMD Doctor appointments $175 (Every 6-8 weeks for the foreseeable future) This does not include gas money for an 8 hour drive.
Lyme Literate Neurologist $150 and up depending on time appointment takes and tests ordered per visit.
Full bill for scoliosis treatment $1295
*Please note that the numbers on the wish list are higher. This is due to the gofundme fees when a donation is given. If you would like to forego these fees, send a message and we can tell you where to send checks etc. Thanks!SSDI & SSI gives her $710 a month. See the problem? Her just-staying-alive costs roughly $1900 monthly. Leaving her to cover housing and not much else. She desperately needs an additional $1,200 monthly. Now when you donate here, a friend actually will handle the payments to the docs etc. so you won't actually be affecting Erin negatively; it doesn't count towards her income. Medical donations don't count. SSI will give her more/less depending on income that actually enters Erin's hands/accounts or covers something other than medical necessities. Someone else paying the medical bills is different.

1939 The first play to win both a Pulitzer Prize and a New York Drama Critics Circle Award, William Saroyan's The Time of Your Life, opens tonight at the Booth Theatre. The story tells of a group of denizens in a San Francisco bar. Gene Kelly and Celeste Holm are in the ensemble of this play, which will run 185 performances, followed by a 32 performance return engagement. Sarayon will send Columbia University a telegram rejecting his Pulitzer Prize because he does "not believe in prizes or awards in the realm of art."
1940 Ethel Waters and the Katherine Dunham dancers are featured in the Vernon Duke/ John Latouche musical Cabin in the Sky, with choreography by George Balanchine. It runs 156 performances at the Martin Beck Theatre.
1956 Terrence Rattigan's double-bill Separate Tables opens at the Music Box Theatre and earns a Tony Award for leading lady Margaret Leighton. It runs 332 performances.
1970 Birth date of Adam Pascal, soulful leading man in Broadway's Rent and Aida.
1973 Neil Simon marries Marsha Mason today. Mason is about to appear on Broadway in Simon's The Good Doctor, which will open on November 27 of this year. Their marriage will last until October 1983. 1992 David Mamet's new play, Oleanna, opens tonight at the Orpheum Theatre. The play has exceptional advance sales of $200,000, an amount especially healthy for an off-Broadway production. Rebecca Pidgeon is the girl who accuses her professor, played by William H. Macy, of sexual harassment in this show, which will run 513 performances.
1995 After being absent from the Broadway stage for nearly 35 years, Julie Andrews returns tonight as she opens in Victor/Victoria, the Blake Edwards, Leslie Bricusse and Henry Mancini musical. The original film version, in 1982, was directed by Edwards, as is this Broadway production. Tony Roberts and Michael Nouri star in this gender-bending musical, which has additional music by Frank Wildhorn. The show will run 734 performances, eventually starring both Liza Minnelli and Raquel Welch.
2001 Pop crooner Harry Connick, Jr. makes his debut as a Broadway composer with the musical Thou Shalt Not, directed and choreographed by Susan Stroman, which opened a limited run through Jan. 6, 2002.
2002 Actor Richard Harris dies at age 72. The Irish actor played King Arthur in the film version of Camelot, and later on extended tours.
2009 Opening night for a Broadway revival of Brighton Beach Memoirs, which is planned to run in alternating repertory with another Neil Simon play, Broadway Bound. The two plays share a setting and many characters. Producer Emanuel Azenberg envisioned the twin productions as a "victory lap" for the 82-year-old Simon, but audiences don't respond as expected. The production closes abruptly on its first weekend, and the second production is scratched.
2010 James Earl Jones, Vanessa Redgrave and Boyd Gaines star in the Broadway premiere of Alfred Uhry's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Driving Miss Daisy, which officially opens at the John Golden Theatre.

On March 14, 2008, Governor Gregoire approved Substitute Senate Bill No. 6604 revising the Public Accountancy Act. The Governor stated:
"Washington businesses will be able to use the right CPA with the right skills without costly delays, whether that CPA resides in Boise or in Spokane. This is a common-sense approach that 13 states across the country have already adopted, and 19 more are considering this year. A more timely and less costly deployment of interstate CPA expertise is in the public's interest as long as this mobility does not diminish the ability of the Washington Board of Accountancy to monitor and sanction out-of-state licensees."
The legislation is effective June 12, 2008. The Board will begin rule-making to implement the revisions to the Act.
