Not sure I like that they dump you right into a duty free shop. However it is very nice
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
This plane was delivered in April of this year so only about 5 months old. And was only useable until now because the runway at FAE/Vagar airport was extended on both ends to accommodate such plane
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
That smyril line docked. Faroese ship that runs to Iceland and Copenhagen. Carries people and cars
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
Had some Faroese Cod and potatoes. Excellent!!!
|Quoting Carfield (Reply 1):
Just curious if it is easy to get around the Islands and the capital without a car! Is everywhere really walkable or is there a good public transportation network?
|Quoting theobcman (Reply 2):
Unusual that you boarded the plane through the right door - I never have and never seen any pictures of boarding from that side before !
|Quoting mucdude (Reply 3):
Great report with great pictures! The Faeroe Islands are definitely worth a trip! I've added them on my "to visit" list.
|Quoting CARST (Reply 4):
Hey, what an interesting report! Flying to the Faroe Islands sounds quite exotic, even to me. Good photos, too.
|Quoting finnishway (Reply 5):
Thanks for this great trip report!
Was it expensive in Faroe Islands?
|Quoting lychemsa (Reply 6):
I always wanted to go here. Thanks. It's reports like yours that make airliners.net fun to read.
|Quoting infodesk (Reply 7):
Really super report about a destination we rarely (if ever?) seen here on airliners. It's been a dream of mine since my teenage years to visit the Faroes one day, so I found it all very interesting. Thanks for including so many destination photos too.
|Quoting infodesk (Reply 7):
I was going to say I didn't know Atlantic even had an A319, now I know why! It looks great in the livery. They certainly took good care of you on board, great meal and really very generous.
|Quoting infodesk (Reply 7):
The good old Norrona. I remember reading about it an a Lonely Planet guidebook. Must have been plying those waters for some time now.
|Quoting infodesk (Reply 7):
Looks far better than the whale!
|Quoting Widebodyroga (Reply 8):
Allow me to say that this is one of the most interesting reports I've read in awhile. I'm surprised that we've had so few reports on the Faroes (in fact I can't recall a single one but I assume there must have been some). We have seen more trip reports for Greenland, Svalbard, and even North Korea than the Faroes. Atlantic Airways looks pretty good (I love their livery too) and Torshavn looks much more "urban" than I expected.
|Quoting Widebodyroga (Reply 8):
I would love to try some o ftheir local beer. I'm currently making a collection of international beer bottle caps so I'd love to get my hands on those Föroya Bjór multipacks you saw at the airport. Good for you for trying the local food. It sure looks interesting.
|Quoting Widebodyroga (Reply 8):
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely experience of yours with us.
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
Not sure I like that they dump you right into a duty free shop
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
A look at the gates and many visitors. So many airlines I only see in trip reports and never in the states
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
Even had a chance at the wee hours of 2:45 AM local to catch my San Francisco Giants start the playoffs
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
And there it is. Never been so excited to fly an A319
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
For an hour and a half flight they provide a full meal and all the alcohol/booze you can drink. They even had jaegermeister on the cart. Bottoms up
Pasta Salad. Chicken. Bread. Mayonnaise
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
Our mighty A319 engine
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
From left to right: Whale Blubber, Whale Jerky (dried for 4 days) Dried fish, Whale meat, bread and potatoes. The blubber and meat were ok. Definitely like nothing ive ever had. The dried whale was awful. I could barely stomach it
|Quoting mikeology (Thread starter):
I wouldn't mind just flying around the islands for all the views
|Quoting The777Man (Reply 10):
Thanks for a great report with very nice pictures !
I don't think Faroe Islands have been covered here before so thanks for posting this report.
|Quoting The777Man (Reply 10):
RC looks great except the legroom looks really cramped. Very nice to get a meal especially on such a short flight.
|Quoting reifel (Reply 11):
Excellent report! Never heard they had A319's.
I believe the plane you identified as Iceland Express is actually a CSA Holidays Plane, usually used for charter flights to holiday destinations, but also used by CSA for regular flights. Saw it this weekend in CPH also... But I might be mistaken.
|Quoting adamspotter (Reply 12):
Thank you very much for this nice and entertaining report of your visit to the Faroer Islands. Dont believe I have read a report on them before here.
The Faroer Islands are certainly on my to visit list so thanks for this insite.
Atlantic Airways looks like a great airline. Nice and good looking A319 and the service looks outstanding!
|Quoting adamspotter (Reply 12):
That must have been a cool feeling
|Quoting adamspotter (Reply 12):
congrats on them getting to the next round, just watched it live on tv a couple hours ago
|Quoting SCQ83 (Reply 13):
Thanks for the report.
I am surprised SAS does not fly CPH-FAE (being Faroe part of Denmark). Do they at least codeshare in this route?
|Quoting 767747 (Reply 14):
Really interesting and unique report!
Atlantic Airways looks pretty good - and the photos of the Faroe Islands were great to see. What a cool looking place!
|Quoting PlaneHunter (Reply 15):
very nice report with many good pictures! Great to get an impression of RC's A319.
|Quoting PlaneHunter (Reply 15):
That looks fine - but it's strange you got the same meal on the return flight again
|Quoting PlaneHunter (Reply 15):
Ah, I would boycott whale products.
|Quoting PlaneHunter (Reply 15):
I'm with you here. These wingtips look really nice, btw.
|Quoting MSS658 (Reply 17):
Interesting review about the Faroe Islands, we don't get to see this to much.
Atlantic Airways looks to be a decent carrier.
Thanks for sharing some pics on the Island as well.
|Quoting palmjet (Reply 18):
Nice to see how Atlantic are going with their new toy - looks amazing new and fresh inside.
|Quoting palmjet (Reply 18):
Great pics too of the destination - a very rare one, even by European standards.

Skin Care and Diseases
Genital warts
treatment for genital warts
Genital warts can be treated in many ways including applications of chemicals like podophyllin or medications like Aldara. They can be frozen or burned off with an electric needle or a laser. The number, size and location of the warts determines the type of treatment. You will need to consult your dermatologist about the best treatment for you.
Note that warts have other significance. Penile warts can be transmitted to a woman. There is great concern that vaginal warts can be associated with abnormalities of the uterine cervix. So the man should inform his spouse to see her gynecologist about her having warts. Or the woman should tell her doctor so that her cervix can be properly evaluated and treatments instituted if indicated.

Desert comes to the city in exhibition
A cap and compass owned by renowned explorer Dr David Livingstone feature in a new exhibition at the National Museum of Australia.
The exhibition, called Extremes, aims to tell the stories of people who live in the deserts of Africa, South America and Australia.
Exhibition curator Mike Smith says the museum has brought together pieces such as 250,000-year-old hand axes from the Kalahari.
He hopes this exhibition will show visitors deserts are not just barren places.
"You walk through an exhibit, perhaps a fairly traditional exhibit about perishing in the desert and then you walk around the corner and there's this enormous screen where desert people are talking directly to you about how much they love the land, how they see the land," he said.
"For the people who live in these deserts, the desert is their backyard, it's their home and that's part of the story of this exhibition."

Dish Network (Nasdaq: DISH) stock jumped more than 2 percent Wednesday, after the FCC announced late Tuesday that Dish could use wireless broadband spectrum it acquired from TerreStar and DBSD North America to launch a wireless phone and high-speed Internet service.
While Dish chairman Charlie Ergen said in July that the company would create "tens of thousands of new jobs" if it got the green light to use the AWS-4 spectrum to challenge Comcast (Nasdaq: CMCSA), Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and other broadband providers, the company said it is still reviewing the FCC decision.
"Following a more thorough review of the order and its technical details, Dish will consider its strategic options and the optimal approach to put this spectrum to use for the benefit of consumers," Jeff Blum, Dish SVP and deputy general counsel, said in a prepared statement.
Ergen has said that Dish may use the spectrum to partner with an existing wireless provider such as Sprint (NYSE: S). Dish has also had exploratory talks with Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) on ways the companies could team up to use the wireless broadband spectrum, The Wall Street Journal reported last month.
While it's not clear how Ergen will use the spectrum, winning FCC approval could help Dish compete with the broadband products marketed by its cable rivals who are partnering with Verizon Wireless on joint marketing promotions. Comcast, Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) and Bright House are also working with Verizon to develop new services for subscribers.

True Or False: George Zimmerman Won The Florida State Lottery
People are up in arms today, and for good reason. It has been reported that George Zimmerman won the $37 Million Florida State Lottery Jackpot last night.
"I just figured why not, you know?" said Zimmerman. "I think I'll probably use the money to buy a bigger house and a new car, and I'll invest the rest. This is just fantastic. Life is good."
It's amazing how many people are already posting this story on Facebook. I haven't seen statuses this outraged since Saturday night (when he was found not guilty). Fortunately, this story is so incredibly false! People really are freakin idiots!
1) If you ever, ever, ever, ever (sound a bit like a Taylor Swift song, huh?), ever quote The Onion as a news source, you don't deserve to work in media, let alone to be a human being. How could any site have actually picked this story up?
2) Let's say you didn't even know it was from The Onion, but just heard the sentence "George Zimmerman won the lottery" and actually believed it, you're an even bigger idiot. Yes, he somehow, amazingly was ruled not-guilty and won the lottery in the same week! Disney is making a f*cking movie on his magical story, called "Miracle 2."
Don't worry, America. Though some still think George Zimmerman may have been guilty, he certainly isn't a lottery winner.

North Salinas High quarterback Justyn Gutierrez's 2-point conversion attempt fell incomplete as time expired, giving host Everett Alvarez High Eagles a 36-34 victory over the Vikings on Friday night.
North Salinas (5-3, 3-1 Monterey Bay League Pacific Division) trailed 36-28 with 1:58 left in the game. Gutierrez drove the Vikings 80 yards on 14 plays to give North Salinas life as the clock ran down. Randy Ivey caught four passes, including a 12-yard touchdown with 3 seconds left to set up the Vikings' 2-point attempt to try and tie the game.
Alvarez (7-0, 4-0) scored first when Ceasar Ramirez ran 23 yards to put the Eagles up early in the first quarter. The Eagles led the rest of the way.
The Eagles appeared to have locked up the game when Edric Gamble ran for a 7-yard touchdown with under two minutes to go, but Alvarez missed the extra point to take a 9-point lead. Gamble finished the game 6-of-15 for 122 yards, but he threw touchdown passes to Aaron Borum and Brandon Hernandez. Ramirez finished with 120 yards on the ground in 18 attempts for Alvarez.
Each time Alvarez started to pull away, the Vikings would strike back. Gutierrez finished the game 13-of-25 for 253 yards and a touchdown. After Alvarez went in to halftime with a 24-14 lead, Tristen Benavidez punched in his second of three touchdowns to pull the Vikings to within three. Benavidez finished the game with 82 yards on 16 carries.
Alvarez takes control of first place in the Pacific Division, ending the Vikings' five-game winning streak. The Eagles play at Gilroy on Friday, while North Salinas hosts North County at Rabobank Stadium.

Tyler, the Creator, 'Wolf' – Album Review
Tyler, the Creator doesn't rap a single line on 'Wolf,' the eponymous intro of his third studio album. But, in its two minutes of overblown absurdity, that track defines this 22-year-old provocateur's overall musical identity: swirling psych-jazz keys, bombastic trap-kit blasts, pointless button-pushing and profanity-laced showboating. "I think you're a f—ing fag," Tyler sings — in a guttural, tuneless moan — igniting a parade of tired F-bombs. One track later, on the Neptunes-aping sprawl of 'Jamba,' he begs a skank for fellatio — seconds later, he's begging for his inhaler.
As the figurehead of Odd Future, aka OFWGKTA, Tyler's proven simultaneously unknowable and unignorable — a mixture of hyper-active idiot-savant and attention-starved genius — and he's done so by tweeting nonsensical homophobia, directing surrealistic movie videos, starring in his own goofy sketch comedy series and recording loads of thought-provoking, infuriating music. 'Wolf' further extends his trademark lunacy, particularly with its shape-shifting, multi-hued production. Somehow, he wrangles more intrigue from an approach that, in theory, should have already exhausted itself.
By this point, Tyler's Neptunes worship is distinctly at the forefront of his music: Where his previous album, 2011's 'Goblin,' was eerie and sparse, 'Wolf' is consistently lush, full of fusion-styled keyboard changes, soulful guest vocals (everyone from gang-mate Frank Ocean to Erykah Badu to Stereolab's Lætitia Sadier), wide-screen beats and subtly warped orchestral layers. From the champagne glitz of 'Lone' to the M.I.A.-styled worldbeat of 'Tamale' to the post-rock atmospheric of 'Cowboy,' it's Tyler's most sonically engaging batch of material.
Most evocative is 'Rusty,' a jazzy dirge with a breezy synth-flute likely lifted from an '80s sitcom theme. But, as usual, Tyler isn't quite comfortable with prettiness, and he juxtaposes these glowing arrangements with some of his brashest lyrical tirades. 'Rusty' moves from rapper trash-talk to critic-basing to psychological confessions, concluding with a spree of random profanity and sarcastic gangsta gunshots.
Few artists can pull off a song as ridiculously self-fetishizing as 'Colossus,' a demented love letter from an obsessed fan. As it turns out, Tyler isn't one of those artists. As he's proven on Odd Future's various collaborative mixtapes, he works best as a capital-R rapper when the mood is loose and playful. 'Trashwang' is the album's posse-boast anthem, a delirious barrage of side-splitting punchlines and rhythmically intense non-sequiturs.
But 'Wolf' is equally intriguing when Tyler shifts into therapy mode, dropping his guard to reveal an actual human pulse. 'Lone' closes the album with a heartbreaking play-by-play of experiencing his grandmother's death; 'Answer' is another hypnotic "f— you" to an absentee father. ("Mom was only 20 when you ain't have any f— to spare," he raps in a trance-like flow. "You Nigerian f—, now I'm stuck with this shitty facial hair.")
'Wolf,' like everything Tyler touches, is an album of exposed nerves and superficial stupidity — a messy clusterf— of "sharting" and candy bars, death threats and family tirades, extreme beauty and exhausting ugliness. For better or worse (and usually both), Tyler — hip-hop's self-anointed outcast — has never sounded more like Tyler.

Johannesburg - Is it legal for the bank to give you an 80 percent home loan and 20 percent personal loan to cover the 100 percent? Most banks are doing this. Does the NCR/NCA allow this? - Moses Kalane
Answer: The National Credit Regulator replied that it was not illegal for a bank to offer an 80 percent home loan and a 20 percent personal loan. The way it chose to lend the money was only restricted by the National Credit Act in that it was obliged to determine whether the applicant could afford the loans. "In terms of Section 82 of the National Credit Act the credit provider (bank) can determine for itself the evaluative mechanisms or models and procedures to be used in meeting its affordability assessment obligations… to prevent reckless credit.
The NCA does not require consumers to pay a deposit to secure a mortgage or any other asset. The credit provider may require the consumer to pay a deposit as part of its normal credit-granting policies and procedures."
We then asked Standard Bank what the financial implications of this scenario were for an applicant. How much is a home loan applicant likely to pay for a R1 million mortgage bond? We also asked for a calculation for a R800 000 home loan and a further R200 000 personal loan to make up the difference needed for an 80 percent bond.
Response: From Steven Barker, head of Homeloans at Standard Bank South Africa:
It's important to remember that short-term lending, such as personal loans, have maximum loan amounts and they would take into account your income and expenditure. The loan term is shorter as well, so the monthly repayment could be higher than if that amount was included in a home loan over 20 years. The upside of a short-term loan is the total cost could be R100 000 less.
- R1m home loan over 20 years at a rate of 9 percent would cost R2.1m over the term, and the monthly instalment is R8997.26 a month.
- R800 000 home loan over 20 years at a rate of 9 percent would cost R1.7m and instalment is R7197.81 a month.
- R200 000 personal loan over 72 months at 12.50 percent would cost close to R300 000 and the starting instalment would be R4 100 a month.
The difference in cash flow would be R2 300 extra in repayments a month, by opting for a personal loan instead of saving for the deposit. As a general rule, the choice on whether to save or lend for the deposit is an individual approach each customer would need to determine, based on their financial situation and personal needs. - Saturday Star

Flags Burned on Memorial Day!
This makes my blood boil! :mad:
Flags Burned on Memorial Day | The FOX Nation
That's a shame and a disgrace.
The ones who did it should be exicuted
Makes me so mad and sad at the same time.
No better yet! Throw them into Massive sinkhole in Guatemala City.
Seems to be the work of Teenagers. Only they seem to lack the respect and are up that late.
I feel punishment should fit the crime.......:mad:
There's no telling who did it or why. There are millions of people in this country. Alot of people have no respect for property, people who think they are pranksters, purely idiotic people, people on drugs or drunk, people who hate the government, people who hate the military,extremists, etc,etc,etc...
One thing for sure, they are wrong and should be punished somehow. There are also alot of folks in this country who still love our flag and some won't stand by idly and watch this sort of thing go on. They did it at night and ran like cowards. They have nothing worth fighting for or they would do it openly. Alot of boys like we have here would have treated them properly if we would have seen it. It would have been a bad for them to say the least.
It was an insult to the meaning of the flag and to all who love her. Our flag isn't just a piece of colored cloth, it symbolizes our Country and our heritage.

Celebrating nearly 40 years of playing together, the Fischer Duo delights lovers of chamber music across the country with performances described as "boldly imaginative and technically assured," (Boston Globe), "intense and persuasive" (Gramophone), and "Soaring lines with both beauty and intensity" (New York Times).
The Fischer Duo has been widely praised by music critics for its choice of repertoire. Thoroughly versed in the classical repertoire of Brahms, Beethoven and Schumann, the Fischer Duo has acquired an equally impressive reputation for rediscovering neglected works of the past (Busoni, Boulanger, Foote, Alfano, Pizzetti) and for commissioning new pieces from masters such as George Rochberg, Richard Wilson, Samuel Jones, Augusta Read Thomas, Pierre Jalbert and over 20 more. "One felt like applauding the Fischer Duo before they even played a note for programming rarely-heard cello music by Chopin and Liszt," wrote a reviewer in the Washington Post, A recital of this exact repertoire is available on Bridge Records (9187) and has received rave reviews from Strings Magazine and The Gramophone.
The Fischer Duo's extensive discography includes their CD debut, Imaginées: Music of French Masters, which was given Fanfare magazine's highest recommendation: "For fine sound, on top of probing duo teamwork and elegant program-making." They have three recordings available on the Gasparo label. American Music in the 1990s [GSCD-349] includes commissioned works for the duo by George Rochberg, Pierre Jalbert, Samuel Jones, and Augusta Read Thomas. The Strad magazine wrote of the disc, "The duo gives thoroughly persuasive performances of all four works, scratching through the surface gesture to get to the heart of the music's expressive potential." Also available on Gasparo is Robert Sirota: Works for Cello [GSCD-350] and Born in America in 1938 [GSCD-351] featuring works by William Bolcom, John Corigliano, Ellsworth Milburn, John Harbison, Joan Tower, and Charles Wuorinen. In addition, the Fischer Duo released Chopin & Liszt: Music for Cello and Piano, on the Bridge label (Bridge 9187). Strings magazine called the disc, "A most impressive record, both for the music and the playing." A new compilation of William Bolcom's cello music is now available on the Naxos label (a four star rave from BBC Music Magazine). The Fischer Duo is currently recording the complete Beethoven Sonatas and Variations as part of the 40th anniversary celebration.
The Fischer Duo is also known for enlightened residency work. The United States Information Agency (USIA) selected the Fischer Duo as Artistic Ambassadors and they toured South America and South Africa receiving the highest ratings for musical maturity and open access to audiences.
The critic from the Toledo Blade summed up a concert experience with the Fischer Duo: " If there was a prize for Most Elegant Sound by a Chamber Group, the Fischer Duo would surely win it. The two together have a sort of slow-burning combustion on stage that makes for some really exciting and spontaneous music. This is a pair that really knows their repertoire, and more importantly, knows how to absorb an audience into their own musical universe."

I'm 23 and in my opinion I look like I'm in my mid to late 30s. I have deep nasolabial folds which and enlarge pores which to me do nothing but make me look even older. Is there anything I can do to reduce my folds, pore size and dark spots. I'm considering surgical procedures because this really affects my confidence. Another thing is one side of my faces looks a lot more youthful than the other side. About me: I'm fairly active. I do about 6 - 9 hours of cardio weekly.
Is There Anything I Can Do to Reduce my Nasolabial Folds Naturally?
Doctor Answers 5
Naturally Reducing Nasolabial Folds
Fat injections can be used to restore volume to the face and soften nasolabial folds. Many patients like this option as it is your own fat and a more natural approach. The longevity of fat is also generally considered longer than fillers.
Large pores and deep nasolabial folds
The large pores may respond to a retin-A based skin program and possible nonablative laser to follow. Deep nasolabial folds at a young age suggests loss of volume combined with early loss of elasticity in the skin. The above retin-A program can firm up the skin and I would start with this modality. If the nasolabial folds remain deep then you may consider soft tissue fillers.
Options to help with nasolabial folds
Pictures would really be helpful to give you the best advice. There is not a natural treatment for helping with nasolabial folds. They sometimes can be improved with surgery and sometimes can be improved with the use of injectable fillers. You would need to be examined to determine the best options for you.

Forever Young BBL
You sound like a perfect candidate for Sciton's "Forever Young BBL" treatment. It combines both broad-band and infrared light to correct skin discoloration, reduce pore size, and firm the skin. A recent study released by Stanford University shows that patients who did a series of these treatments and continued with maintenance treatments 2-4 times a year, had skin that looked and behaved years younger than it actually was. In fact, a blinded panel of physician evaluators determined BBL treated patients appeared 9 years younger than their actual age. This would definitely be a good first step for you and would enhance any other treatment you decide to do in the future.

Nasolabial folds at a young age
Nasolabial folds become prominent with weight loss and this is seen frequently in those who have lost massive amounts of weight with bariatric surgery. Barring that, they naturally form with volume loss of the face with aging. Since you are young, it is probably accelereated in your case and may be partly genetic - perhaps your mom or aunts have similar features .. who knows - despite all of the above, you can do something non surgical such as getting facial fillers (Radiesse or Juvederm) or autologous fat transfer which may last longer and be more cost effective in the long run.

GOP Candidates to Step up Iowa Offensive Ahead of Caucus
ABC Digital
Updated at
(DES MOINES, Iowa) — Just days from the Iowa caucus, Republican candidates are taking their campaigns to the Hawkeye state hunting for votes.
Rick Santorum will start it off hunting for pheasants with some Iowa politicos in Adel, Iowa. Rep. Michele Bachmann will resume her 99-county bus tour on Tuesday. And Texas Gov. Rick Perry will visit a series of small towns hoping to boost his campaign.
But the real race is between Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney, all of whom are stepping up the offensive ahead of the nation's first casting call.
"I think this race right now – unless somebody changes the dynamic in Iowa – is a race between Ron Paul, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich, all of whom have tremendous baggage and all of whom a majority of Republicans have worries about. But it's going to be one of the three of those," Republican strategist and ABC News political contributor Matthew Dowd said on Good Morning America.
Paul this week will likely face a barrage of questions about his newsletters in the 1980s and 1990s containing racist, anti-Semitic and anti-gay screeds. The Texas congressman says he did not write them or read them, and he has disavowed the controversial content. But in the 1990s, he defended the newsletters, saying critics were taking excerpts out of context.
Gingrich, who needs to do well in Iowa, is pushing the story and became the first candidate on Friday to take a swipe at Paul for those controversial newsletters, asking him to explain their content.
Gingrich, however, faces his own set of problems, particularly concerns about his organizational skills. The Virginia resident failed to submit the 10,000 signatures required to secure a place on the ballot for the Republican primary in his state of residence. Only Romney and Paul will be on that ballot.
Gingrich's campaign director said the candidate likened the debacle to Pearl Harbor, where more than 2,000 Americans were killed. "Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941: We have experienced an unexpected set-back, but we will re-group and re-focus with increased determination, commitment and positive action," Gingrich's national campaign director Michael Krull wrote on Facebook.
A Gingrich aide said Krull was referring to "not necessarily just the attack, but the idea we faced a setback and we must regroup, we must move ahead."
GOP strategists like Dowd say Gingrich will likely overcome the hurdle. "Newt has a great capacity to be forgiven and this time and he's got a thick Teflon on him that the other candidates who dropped off didn't," Dowd said.
Gingrich is helped by the fact that his top two competitors carry their own set of baggage. As Paul faces questions about his newsletters, Romney continues to have trouble getting the base to rally behind him.
"It's not the carry-on kind of baggage," said Democratic strategist James Carville. "This is the kind of stuff you got to check. It's a lot of baggage."

FOR CENTURIES audiences have been entertained by Richard Sheridan's The School for Scandal, and Royal Theatre Bath's current showing, directed by Jamie Lloyd, leaves no mystery as to why.
First performed in London at Drury Lane Theatre in 1777, the comedy is set in 18th Century London among the wealthy with little to do but gossip.
Act one opens with Lady Sneerwell, a wealthy young widow, and her servant Snake discussing her various scandal-spreading plots including trying to get between a young couple. She then welcomes in an array of characters including Sir Benjamin Backbite and his uncle Crabtree, whose sheer excitement for the spreading of scandal throughout the play brings humour and energy.
Spoken in old English, I found the opening act hard to follow at times, particularly when lines were delivered quickly.
Edward Bennett and ex-Eastenders star Nigel Harmen give sterling performances as Joseph and Charles Surface, brothers whose reputations are not all that are portrayed.
Susannah Fielding threw herself into the role of Lady Teazle, a young woman who marries an old bachelor leading her to develop a love for fashion and luxury as she is doted on by the lovesick gentleman.
Overall this classic comedy shows that scandal has been around for centuries, and is always a giggle. This performance of it was well put together and acted superbly with tons of energy.
The production runs until July 21

State board expands early voting for Wake
Posted September 8, 2016
Updated September 9, 2016
Raleigh, N.C. — Wake County voters will have more choices of polling places during the first seven days of early voting following a ruling from the State Board of Elections Thursday afternoon.
The ruling came roughly seven hours after members of the state board began picking their way through decisions on how many locations and hours voters in 33 North Carolina counties will have to cast in-person early ballots. The whole process lasted about 12 hours.
Early voting begins Thursday Oct. 20 and closes Saturday Nov. 5.
"I am very pleased," said Mark Ezzell, the lone Democrat on Wake County's three-member board of elections. The two Republican members did not attend the state board meeting.
Those two Republican members, Eddie Woodhouse and Ellis Boyle, voted earlier this year for an early voting plan that opened 17 sites during the final 10 days of the early voting period. But during the first seven days of early voting, that GOP-favored "majority plan" would have opened only the downtown Wake County Board of Elections office for voting.
Ezzell and his lawyer, Press Millen, told the state board that, during the same seven-day time period in 2012, more than 72,000 Wake County voters cast early ballots.
That argument held sway with at least three state board members.
"I can't vote in clear conscience with the majority plan when I know it's a train wreck," state board member Joshua Malcolm said.
The final vote was 3-2, with Malcolm, fellow Democrat Maja Kricker and Republican Jim Baker backing the expanded plan. Republicans Rhonda Amoroso and Chairman Grant Whitney voted against it.
In addition to the downtown elections board office, Ezzell's plan sprinkles eight sites throughout the county, some in Republican strongholds.
Sunday voting key throughout the day
Court orders tossed out major parts of a 2013 state election law rewrite. While lawmakers had sought to ratchet down the early voting period to 10 days, the result of the court case means North Carolina will have a 17-day early voting period.
In August, three-member county boards of elections came to unanimous decisions on how to handle that expanded early voting period in 67 counties. But in 33, including Wake, Cumberland and Orange counties, board members were at odds.
The board received 1,783 comments on the plans in advance of Thursday's meeting, including 624 from Wake County and 166 from Orange County.
Painting with a broad brush, Democrats have generally favored expanding early voting, particularly on Sundays.
The state board has the option of choosing to impose the plans passed 2-1 by local boards, adopting the alternate plans put forward by the dissenting members or crafting its own plans.
Throughout much of the day, the most hotly contested conversations focused on whether to add Sunday voting hours when the original proposals left them out.
"People work diverse hours. People work nights. Sunday is an opportunity for people who don't get out," said Zeda Trice, the Democratic member of the Craven County Board of Elections.
At her urging, the state board added Sunday hours in her county.
But the board did not adopt a blanket approach. For example, in New Hanover County, where 44 percent of Sunday voters were African-Americans during the March primary, the state board adopted a plan with no Sunday voting hours. It did expand weekday hours at the urging of the county's Democratic member.
Sunday voting also was restored in Cumberland County, while Saturday hours were extended in Orange County.
Baker of the state board said he wanted to do what would make sense for each county.
"I'm not opposed to Sunday voting," he said, "but if they decided Sunday voting is not for them, I don't have any problem with that decision."
Prior to the meeting, some Republicans expressed skepticism about the need for a big expansions. Members of the state board said they received a letter from Rep. David Lewis, R-Harnett, and Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg, urging the board to tack on only the minimum required for the expanded seven-day period.
Democracy North Carolina, a left-leaning voter advocacy group, noted that 56 percent of voters cast early ballots statewide in 2012, so enough early voting needs to be available to avoid crushing lines at polling sites on Election Day.
"The Republicans – the leadership of the Republicans – have tried to manipulate the county plans," said Bob Hall, executive director of Democracy North Carolina. "They've encouraged their members to get rid of Sunday voting where it existed before, eliminate sites on campuses, reduce sites that helped Democrats and add sites to help Republicans."
Dallas Woodhouse, executive director the North Carolina Republican Party, said he understands early voting is convenient, but he said it can also be dangerous.
"An important part of the democratic process is having election monitors – having people watch the polls, making sure no side is doing something they shouldn't," Woodhouse said. "When it goes on a long time, that gets harder to do."

Illinois residents are concerned that new EPA septic regulations could hit them with high costs.
The regulations, which went into effect this month, "require a general permit to install any discharging system emptying into any waters of the United States," according to the Quincy Herald-Whig. "The new regulations do not impact homeowners using sewer lines."
"As of Feb. 10, homeowners in Illinois must get what is called a 'general permit' to install a septic tank," Off The Grid News explained.
Here's how the EPA presented it: "EPA has made a final decision to issue the general permit for point source discharges of pollutants from new or replacement individual wastewater treatment systems to federally protected waters in Illinois."
The "general permit" sets "discharge limits and requires periodic inspection, monitoring and reporting" for those who need to "discharge pollutants from septic systems to waters of the United States," the EPA said.
Residents are voicing concerns.
"Joe Dreyer, who owns Dreyer Construction in [Quincy, IL] said the new regulation could impact a home that discharges into a dry creek bed in a backyard miles away from those larger bodies of water. He said the loose definition eventually will cause problems for any filter that will be built or replaced," the Herald-Whig reported.
The EPA addressed concerns that the public will get hit with new costs during its regulatory proceeding on this issue.
"As to [the claim] that this [regulation] would impose a cost on taxpayers, few taxpayers will be permittees under the General Permit. Only persons who are installing new or replacement surface discharging systems will be permittees required to comply with the inspection and sampling requirements of the General Permit, which are not substantial," the agency stated.
The agency emphasized that the regulations "will not require any current owners of existing systems to do anything with their current systems," the document said.

Green construction shows rapid riseby Peter Miller
While much of the new home market has been in retreat in recent years, there is one aspect which has grown significantly. According to a new report from McGraw Hill, green construction nearly tripled between 2005 and 2011.
The "SmartMarket Report: New and Remodeled Green Homes: Transforming the Residential Market" shows that green construction expanded from $6 billion in 2005 to $17 billion in 2011. This is not only a dramatic increase in terms of dollars, but it's particularly significant in terms of overall market penetration. In 2006, green construction represented just 2 percent of new residential building. By 2011, green construction accounted for 17 percent of the market.
Read: Go green when renovating: Choose deconstruction over demolition
Green construction
The shift to green construction is a positive note for several reasons:
- There is a need to preserve construction jobs. If building green homes means more jobs, that's good for the industry and good for the economy in general.
- Green construction means less energy usage and that benefits all power users. The need for new power plants is not based on typical daily use. Instead, the system is designed so that everyone will have power even at the moment of greatest usage, typically sometime in the summer when every air-conditioner is turned up. The construction of more green homes is really a way to reduce the need for more power plants and their use of coal, natural gas and nuclear fuel.
Who else in housing is going green?
For its part, the FHA has long had a mortgage program to encourage more green housing. The FHA's energy-efficient mortgage–or EEM–allows borrowers to increase their ability to get an FHA loan by enlarging qualification ratios.
With the typical FHA mortgage, a borrower is allowed to have housing costs which are equal to 31 percent of their monthly income. With an energy-efficient mortgage, the FHA allows 33 percent of an individual's income to be used for housing costs (such as mortgage interest, mortgage principal, property taxes and property insurance).
Also, the FHA allows a larger overall debt for borrowers. Usually as much as 43 percent of an individual's monthly income can be devoted to housing costs plus recurring monthly expenses such as credit card debt, car loans and student debt. However, with an energy-efficient mortgage, the FHA permits borrowers to have as much is a 45 percent monthly debt load.
With an EEM, the FHA allows higher qualifying ratios because it assumes that the borrower will have lower monthly bills for gas, electric and other utilities. Lower monthly costs–whether in the form of mortgage rates or smaller utility bills–should all be welcomed.
An EEM can also be used to refinance a property provided it's not a co-op loan or reverse mortgage.
The increase in green construction is something which should be applauded. Indeed, one wonders why all new construction is not green. Energy-efficient homes are good for all because they represent less drag on the power plant system. And given the way energy costs are rising, green construction should help with marketing when it comes time to resell the home.

The web site food52 asks home cooks to submit their best recipes to weekly contests that determine which will make it into their second forthcoming cookbook. Each week we feature the contests' finalists. Check out the recipes, go vote, and connect our passionate food community with theirs.
We're sharing the best home cook-submitted recipes from food52's latest contest. This week, the theme is "Your Best Fondue." Who have New York Times food writers Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs chosen as their food52 finalists this time around? Find out below, then go vote to help pick the winners.
#1 Traditional Fondue Fribourgeois - Legendary and Original by rabino
What Hesser and Stubbs say: Rabino's fastidious technique is the soul of his recipe: he starts by having you rub the inside of the pot with a crushed garlic clove, add and warm white wine and then gradually work in the cheese so you get a smooth texture.
See the second entry after the jump.
#2 Coconut Cajeta & Chocolate Fondue by hardlikearmour
What Hesser and Stubbs say: We loved the idea of fondue made with chocolate and cajeta (a close cousin of dulce de leche), and when we saw that hardlikearmour used coconut milk to make her cajeta, well -- there was no holding us back. Her fondue is silken and almost custardy, punctuated with rum and vanilla and generously salted, the way we like caramel to be.

Council on Chiropractic Guidelines & Practice Parameters

Lisa Pastille
At the Greenville Public Library September 2006
As a fine artist, illustrator, muralist, tromp l'oeil artist and digital artist, Lisa captures the essence of homes as other artists capture the spirit of the human figure. Her illustrated work has been published by Simon & Schuster as a book's cover art and she has appeared on a nationally syndicated children's television show as the featured muralist. Her commissioned wall murals and tromp l'oeil work have adorned the walls of Rhode Island College and residential homes in M.A. As a house portraitist, Lisa has applied acrylics with the classical techniques she studied as an oil painter while earning her BA in art studio. She's a member of Rhode Island's Wickford Art Association. Lisa's digital piece, "Woodstock, CT", was accepted by the Association's open juried show and was part of their August exhibit.
After years of producing her work through several fine art mediums, Lisa is now devoted to introducing her originally developed digital technique created in 2005. She calls the technique, "Interpretive Photo Painting". Her new business, "Portraits by Pastille ... where Classical meets Contemporary", showcases this method. Each stroke, as in canvas painting, is applied with a tool that virtually simulates the tactile applications of brush and pen and ink. Seamlessly integrated into each piece are the traditional mediums of painting, drawing and photography. These affordable house portraits possess an overall sense of an organic, painterly quality, giving the viewer a feel of the human touch. Each house portrait is not only appreciated as an artistically pleasing piece but is also desired as a one-of-a-kind rendering, unique in its nature.

St. Ann's celebrates 100 years
It was standing room only for the 200 or so parishioners, family and friends who crowded into St. Ann's Catholic Church on Sunday to hear a special message, watch a history pageant and eat fried chicken together, all in celebration of 100 years as a church family.
The message about the power of a mother's love seemed appropriate, considering the Bible records that Ann, the Palisade church's namesake, was mother of Mary, the same Mary who gave birth to Jesus Christ by immaculate conception, according to church teaching.
After Mass, youngsters Katherine Commons and Morgan Rister told the story of Saint Ann and how the Palisade church came to be named for her 100 years ago.
In the Bible story, Ann could not bear children but eventually gave birth after immaculately conceiving Mary; an angel's message had informed her she was chosen by God to do so.
Tera Morrison, a member of the church for a little more than four months, won the role of St. Ann. Her daughter, Ainsley, 3, played Mary as a child.
Morrison, who has a strong singing voice, said she and her family had been looking for a church home since moving to Grand Junction from Kansas two years ago.
"They just swooped us up in their caring arms right away and treated us like family," Morrison said of St. Ann's congregation. Her family has been attending services there ever since.
Morrison's other children, Liam, 10, Dane, 7, and Graham, 5, all took part in a tribute to longtime member Gary Huber, now an elder in the church, who has played the organ for services at St. Ann's since he was a teenager.
The Morrison children, with help from the congregation, sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" for Huber in recognition that St. Ann's was founded the same year the Boston Red Sox signed Babe Ruth.
For his part, Huber seemed to enjoy the performance, but probably enjoyed seeing his brother, Daniel, even more.
Daniel Huber is a Catholic monsignor now retired from the church who said he realized his calling by age 6 while a member of the original St. Ann's Catholic Church.
"I'm hopeful about the future," said Huber, 80, who likes the message Pope Francis is carrying to the world.
Huber said he was ordained in 1950 and worked in parishes all across the West Slope before the original St. Ann's burned down in 1963 following Christmas mass.
Looking at the world and each other as a mother looks at her children — as Ann looked at Mary or as Mary looked at Jesus — is a great way to spread God's love, said Father Joachim Andione, a priest who ministers at St. Ann's, a church within the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish.
The message of God's love is what inspired church founders to build St. Ann's in the first place, Andione said.
The rosary, prayer beads used by Catholics, figures prominently in St. Ann's history, Commons said.
The church was founded in the same year Catholics celebrated the 700th anniversary of St. Dominic's introduction of the rosary to church teachings.
In another rosary-related connection, St. Ann's received much of the funding it needed to begin building from St. Joseph's Altar and Rosary Society in Grand Junction, which started collecting for the building fund in 1910.
"To pray the rosary is to contemplate the face of Jesus through his mother's eyes," Commons said, paraphrasing Pope John Paul from a script written by Mary Commons, a St. Ann's parishioner for seven years.
Ann is the patron saint of pregnant mothers, children and the poor, Rister said. But why name the church after her? Commons asked. "Why not another saint for the patron of our church?"
The answer: Naming rights were granted to Mrs. M.J. Mulvihill of Pittsburgh in 1914 in exchange for her donation of $1,000 towards construction of the original building, Commons said.

If it weren't for the writing of Theodore Dreiser, we wouldn't have H. L. Mencken's barbed criticism of it, such as the following pearl: "A work of art with ideas in it is as sorry a monster as a pretty girl full of Latin." And if it weren't for Dreiser's writerly instinct to escape Jazz Age Manhattan for the softly lapping shores of Westchester County's Croton Reservoir, Michael and Judy Steinhardt would not today enjoy, at the center of their 51-acre property in Bedford, New York, a perfect pair of garden follies in the Romantic mode: the arched and chimneyed ruins of the Dreiser home and, just over a dome-topped hill, the log cabin where he wrote.
And, apparently, dallied: One day, while hosting a tour of the couple's encyclopedic gardens (which include an orchard with 300 fruit trees, no two alike, and a collection of Japanese maples that brings tourists to gape twice a year), Judy Steinhardt met an 80-year-old woman who, after identifying herself as Dreiser's teenage mistress, proceeded to fill in some of the more delicate gaps in the lore of the place. "With her sister, she spent a long time arguing over where in the cabin he kept his daybed," she remembers. "It was one of the nicest visits we've ever had."
There are places where everything comes together. Here, an enchanting piece of land has come together with a pair of adventurous and expert connoisseurs of nature who have demonstrated the good sense not to overwhelm it with architecture. And not to keep it to themselves, either: Fellow bird enthusiasts are regularly welcomed in the Steinhardts' aviary, and as many as 800 friends have joined the couple for a biennial party to celebrate the pressing of their homegrown varietal ciders.
Among the other things that come together at the Steinhardts' uniquely inclusive weekend retreat are the porcupine and the zebra, the antelope and the wallaby, the Egyptian ibis and the Siberian crane, the ostrich and the emu, even the Seussian smew (a dashing Russian duck in harlequin plumage) and the snuffling capybara (a handsome South American rodent as big as a pig)—though not, as yet, the lion and the lamb. In what Michael Steinhardt refers to as "the grand experiment," weather permitting, this intercontinental collection of fauna is let loose to pad and race and hop and lumber at will through the waist-high grasses of the property's three generous ha-ha-bound paddocks. Conflict between animals is rare, but there has been the odd case of a spirited camel or an over-curious kangaroo engaging human visitors; with a retired Wall Streeter's knowing look, Michael Steinhardt says he offers tours of the menagerie in "various degrees of risk."
It was to house this zoo with dignity that the Steinhardts first convened the design team that has put such fitting exclamation points on their natural wonders: architects Jaquelin T. Robertson and Andrew B. Ballard (of Cooper, Robertson Partners), David H. Abelow (of Abelow Connors Sherman Architects) and the interior designer Victoria Borus (principal of New York's B Five Studio). Judy Steinhardt took control of this team; it was her decision to begin this new phase of construction with the service buildings, while the couple continued to use another house on the property, built for them by their friend Myron Goldfinger in the 1970s. "I wanted to make the mistakes down there," she says, gesturing toward the group of flawless ground-hugging wood-and-stone structures. These include two barns for the animals (convertible to horse stables), a conical watchtower hayloft, a potting shed with an adjoining greenhouse, various garages, an office for the caretaker, a romantic enclosure for a mating pair of owls and a two-story "head house"—which has been used as a study, a party room for 40 four-year-olds, a rest stop for tour groups, and guest quarters. Conceiving the grouping as a farm, albeit one with unorthodox livestock, was of particular interest to Robertson. "I spent a lot of time on farms when I was growing up, and I've been obsessed with the practical logic of farmyards—the turning radius of tractors, where the chickens and ducks might go," he says. "It's not a place where stand-alone aesthetic decisions make a lot of sense."
Still, such decisions had to be made. And the team developed a fitting if somewhat deracinated "regional" palette of fieldstone walls, pitched shingle roofs, heavy lintels and prominent, exposed chimneys. "I'm interested in the gene bank of how Americans have built in different regions in different times," Robertson says. "At first I didn't understand what the language would be here: It's too far south to be the Adirondacks, and it's not New England."
Those questions were resolved in the Lodge—now the main house (the Goldfinger was given over to grandchildren and their toys)—sited up and away from the service yards and barns, overlooking the paddocks and the reservoir from the brow of Dreiser's hill. The building is an exercise in integrating almost-lost craftsmanship: in wood (there's no structural steel anywhere—all the connections are slotted and pegged the old-fashioned way in repurposed ship timbers and Alaskan cedar); in metal (every fixture and hinge bears the marks of a blacksmith's hammer); and in stone (each one, as in the service buildings, was sourced in Pennsylvania, selected for shape and laid by a local Italian mason, working with his sons and brooking no dissent). "We used so much stone," Victoria Borus says dryly, "that Pennsylvania got lighter and Bedford got heavier."
After his sideways smear of witty girls, Mencken's attack continues with this: "The aim of a work of art is not to make one think painfully, but to make one feel beautifully." The cerebral Dreiser may not have met that measure, but the Steinhardts' team of sensitive designers, reinventing the writer's property 58 years after his death, has pulled it off. As Michael Steinhardt puts it: "This is the only physical possession in my life from which I derive real pleasure."
