Carmel school board revisits bullying policy
CARMEL - A local school district that put a focus on bullying is take another look at its anti-bullying policy.
For the better part of a year, a construction trailer sitting in the back parking lot of Carmel High School has been serving as an instrument of change.
After a series of assaults on underclassmen occurred in the varsity locker room and another on a team bus, the school board promised physical changes to the building.
Eyewitness News was told by the company that did the renovations to 16 locker rooms at the high school that the changes give coaches and teachers a clear view of students and their activities. Ask just about any Carmel student and they know why - bullying.
A group of students we spoke to Monday will tell you there is no such thing as a bully-free high school.
"It is people that think it is funny and don't realize what they are doing is wrong, so they do it anyway and don't think it is bullying," said a student.
In the weeks following the assaults at Carmel, the school board promised changes in policy and introduced sweeping changes.
But were the changes enough?
"Human behavior is ongoing," said Superintendent Dr. Jeff Swensson.

The board heard the details of another year-long project on how to control bullying in Carmel Schools.
"So that we are always working on a respectful behavior and responsible behavior," Swensson said.
Board members say Monday's discussion of the anti-bullying and hazing policy was just an extension of that policy.

Happy Holiday Vacations (And Savings!)posted by Kimberly Fidler
"Dear Get Away Today,
We just returned from an incredible time at Disneyland, set up through your company. It went off without a hitch and we were able to enjoy ourselves without the logistical worries of planning a trip. It was my daughter's first visit and I believe we have made memories that will last a lifetime. I also appreciate that a percentage goes back to my children's school. Thanks for everything.
Chris G."
"I've been using Get Away Today for every Disney trip I've taken since 2001 and they've always been great! We've never encountered any issues whatsoever and the prices are always great. We purchased the "Peace of Mind" insurance on this trip because I thought we might need to change our travel dates. We did, and it was very easy to do and no hassle from the Get Away Today rep. We had a great time at the park! It was my 3rd time going when decorated for Christmas, but the 1st time for my husband. Disneyland is absolutely magical during this time! Thank you for another great vacation!
- Gina C."
"Our trip to Disneyland Resort during the Christmas season celebration was AMAZING! Your prices were the absolute best and we loved our hotel. The ART shuttle service was very convenient. The parks were so much fun and so beautiful all decked out for the holidays. It was truly magical!! The kids (and us too!) had stars in their eyes the whole time! My daughter got to meet all of her favorite princesses and my son met his favorite character, Goofy!
Thanks Get Away Today for making it so easy for us to plan a trip that we'll never forget!
The French Family"
"Thank you for helping my family with our annual holiday vacation. Using the getawaytoday.com website was easy. I liked that a quote could be sent to me so that I could still research alternatives and have access to easily log in and compare pricing. I belong to a travel club through my employer and still chose to book my Disneyland vacation through getawaytoday.com. The deals could not be beat. We saved $180 off the entire vacation, even when using our AAA membership to book.
Our Hotel was OK, it was what I expected for the price. We choose a more affordable hotel this year because on a Disney vacation you spend so little time in your room. Next year we may spend the extra to book a better hotel. The service a the hotel was great, the furniture in the room was updated, but need to be remodeled.
Using our tickets was easy. We booked a day at Universal Studios Hollywood and the rest of the trip was spent at Disneyland.
Thank you for the hospitality,
- Jennifer R."
We love helping families have magical, affordable vacations so that they can create memories together. Let Get Away Today help you plan your holiday vacation for an unforgettable holiday season.

I want to play tic tac toe too!!!!
The only known to me available source for wheeling code is the old Cover32 program (not sure if it is still somewhere available). What source code do you refer to, because such things are really hard to find mostly because abbreviated wheel development is based on unique heuristics and nobody really wants to share his own work (I also have developed mine from scratch because I really couldn't find any source to work on - the same problem you face).
Also Iliya Bluskov's books do not contain any info on wheel development. Most of his wheels are based on theories and are optimal or near-optimal constructions. I also have a few wheels of mine in his lotto 6 book made by my program simply because no optimal theory-based solution has been found for those few instances.
For your final question on 4if4if8, the general case is that we cannot approach the theoretical minimum. Given a covering v,k,t,m=b, the computed general theoretical minimum assumes the covering can be made as "pack design" which means every combination that must be covered to offer 100% guarantee, it is covered by one and only one block of the covering. Such a property is possible in some t=m constructions and maybe very few t < m constructions (if any). Therefore the general theoretical minimum is just a lowest boundary which can't be reached in most cases. Very advanced mathematics can compute a better lowest bound (higher than the general theoretical) for some classes of v,k,t,m coverings but even these may not be possible to reach. So your 4if8, given it is a t < m construction it will not approach the theoretical minimum simply because there is an unavoidable overlap among the blocks of the covering.
By the way, 4if4of8 means nothing, you need 4 parameters to define a wheel.
lottoarchitect wrote: "By the way, 4if4of8 means nothing, you need 4 parameters to define a wheel."
Which is why I wrote: "a 7-ticket wheel for 4-if-4-of-8 for a 6-draw lottery".
The "4-if-4-of-8" notation is derived from the terminology described in this forum under the title "What's a Lottery Wheel" at the "Lottery Wheel" link. So I thought it might be better understood than the algebraic notation (8,6,4,4)=7.
lottoarchitect wrote: "Given a covering v,k,t,m=b, [.... for] your 4if8, given it is a t < m construction [...]".
Actually, I wrote 4-if-4-of-8. And as I understand the (v,k,t,m)=b notation [1], that is a t=m construction.
That is a small detail. I mention it only to clarify my next question.
In fact, I do not understand the t < m condition per se. Can someone explain it?
Consider the very excellent step-by-step explanation of the JADELottery algorithm starting at www.lotterypost.com/thread/228056/2017518, referenced by a Ramijami in an earlier response in this discussion.
The JADELottery example is for (9,5,3,4)=b. That is, a wheel that "guarantees" a 3-win if 4 of 9 match 5 drawn. It appears that b=5.
I don't exactly gronk the implications of the requirement "3 if 4 ...".
With "4 if 4 of 8", that is (8,6,4,4)=b, I believe that means the wheel of pick-6 tickets must cover all of the 70 4-tuples from the pool of 8 numbers.
But with "3 if 4 of 9", that is (9,5,3,4)=b, it seems that must mean the wheel of pick-5 tickets covers only some of the 126 4-tuples from the pool of 9 numbers.
Is that right?!
I'd be surprised if it is because that does not seem to "guarantee" as 3-win if (any of) 4 of the 9 numbers match part of the pick-5 drawing.
But if the requirement were different -- if (9,5,3,4) means that all of the 4-tuples must be covered by the wheel -- that would "guarantee" a 4-win. So why bother with (also) "guaranteeing" a 3-win?
If I'm wrong, I would appreciate it someone would post some counter-examples, namely: a (9,5,4,4) wheel, a (9,5,3,4) wheel, and a (9,5,3,3) wheel.
Unfortunately, the JADELottery explanation is not sufficient because the resulting 5-ticket wheel does not cover all 3-tuples or all 4-tuples.
So it does not seem to "guarantee" a 3-win at all, as I (mis?)understand the wheel requirements.
(Note: I have not yet worked through all of the JADELottery details to see if perhaps there is a minor typo that misrepresents the final wheel.)
[1] I am familiar with the notation (n,k,t,m)=b used by an apparently different "Lotto Architect". This forum's silly rules do not permit me, a "new" member, to post a URL. Google for "lottery wheel terminology", and look for "anastasios tampakis" in the URL.
For that notation, n = #numbers to wheel (aka "pool"); k = #numbers drawn (aka "ticket size"); t = minimum "guaranteed" win (aka "prize category"); m = #numbers that must match (are among) the drawn numbers; and b = #tickets to purchase (aka "wheel").
In other words, a b-ticket wheel that guarantees a t-win if m of n match k drawn numbers.
A Google search also finds the notation (v,k,t,m)=b, with the same interpretation of the common variables, and v = n.
I wrote: ``Unfortunately, the JADELottery explanation is not sufficient because the resulting 5-ticket wheel does not cover all 3-tuples or all 4-tuples. So it does not seem to "guarantee" a 3-win at all, as I (mis?)understand the wheel requirements.``
I meant to add the following footnote; just missed the 20-minute edit window.
JADELottery wrote that the 5-wheel solution is:
05 06 07 08 09 01 03 04 06 09 02 03 04 08 09 01 02 06 07 08 01 02 03 04 05
That does not cover the 4-tuple 01 02 03 06, for example. And it does not cover the 3-tuple 01 02 09, for example.
(Since JADELottery's step-by-step explanation shows that all 4-tuples are covered, I wonder if there is a typo in JADELottery's final wheel. I have not checked yet. And I have not run JADELottery's program; I don't want to install SilverLight. So I don't know if the mistake, if any, is simply in the explanation.)
Put all your numbers on a piece of paper. Next, sprinkle some chicken feed on top of the paper. Turn the chicken loose and wait while the paper is being poked. Take the 5 or six biggest holes and use the numbers adjacent to them. Alas , you have your wheel. Don't laugh it worked for a farmer in Texas, he won big.
That's an ironic comment, considering the "systems" that you suggest in other discussions (e.g, click here).
Humor aside, I want to reiterate that I am not interested in using wheels. I am interested in understanding the algorithms for generating wheels. It is an academic exercise for my own edification.
So comments like yours are neither helpful nor wanted in this discussion. In fact, they are never constructive, IMHO.
I wrote earlier: ``I don't exactly gronk the implications of the requirement "3 if 4 ...".``
And I wrote of the JADELottery example: ``That does not cover the 4-tuple 01 02 03 06, for example. And it does not cover the 3-tuple 01 02 09, for example.``
Never mind! I get it now.
If the drawing is 01 02 09 xx yy, xx or yy (or both) must be one of 03 through 08 in order to meet the match-4 condition.
So it is sufficient that 01 02 03, 01 02 04, 01 02 05, 01 02 06, 01 02 07 and 01 02 08 are covered by the wheel to meet the win-3 "guarantee".
The JADELottery algorithm is similar to the one that I developed independently for a (8,6,4,4) wheel. Now I need to adapt my algorithm to handle the t<m scenario.
The principle and the maths are straightforward to this. We have a wheel C(v,k,t,m)=b where v=the total balls we want to wheel k=the ticket size (e.g. a 6 ball game has k=6) t=the prize division we want to guarantee a win m=the condition that has to be met, in order to guarantee the t prize division win; m defines the least number of balls from our v set that must be correct. b=the total tickets required to play. We are interested to find the coverage achieved in a certain category e.g. t if m. Then the total combinations that need to be covered are nCk(v,m) = A (combination formula). Thus, you have to test A combinations, each one containing m numbers against the tickets b of your wheel (where each ticket contains k numbers). A combination of those A is covered if there is at least one ticket in your wheel, that contains at least t numbers in common. All you have to do is to go through all A combinations and test each of them if it contains at least t numbers in common with at least one ticket of your wheel. If it does, then it is covered. Now, you have to convert this in code in such a way that minimizes b. In order to do that you have to find a way to make the least overlap possible among the wheel tickets, which means a combination from the set A is covered by only one wheel ticket. The quick approach is brute force (scan all tickets) but this works only for very small wheels. Another good option is the use of an annealing process (Cover32 implements that). A 3rd option is to find construction methodologies derived by theory and implement that in code but this works optimally for few coverings only. Annealing is a all-good overall approach which can give good results most of the time but not optimal in most cases. You can of course explore other ideas like mutation/genetic algorithms, aggressive optimization etc. By the way, I'm the author of Lotto Architect and Wheel Generator so I'm the same person. I also used back then the (n,k,t,m)=b and before that I used (n,k,p,m)=b but the official expression is c(v,k,t,m,L)=b and when L=1 it is omitted.
The wheel you've generated should have the additional information as follows: Wheel - Pick 5 - 9 Numbers - 5 Combinations - 3.968254% Coverage of 126 Combinations Condition - If 4 Drawn Numbers are in the Set of 9 Numbers, - Then at least 1 Combination has 3 Winning Numbers. ____________________________________________ 05 06 07 08 09 01 03 04 06 09 02 03 04 08 09 01 02 06 07 08 01 02 03 04 05 ____________________________________________ When reading the condition you should understand the second part '- Then at least 1 Combination has 3 Winning Numbers.' to mean that a line will have At Least that many or more winning numbers. This means if the condition is '3 Winning Numbers', then there could be a winning line with 3 or 4 winning numbers, because the other part of the condition is '4 Drawn Numbers are in the Set of 9 Numbers,". Also, these mean the following: Set - The wheel pool of numbers you are playing; typically less than the lottery pool of numbers being drawn. Pick - The number of balls being drawn for that lottery pool of numbers. Match - The quantity of drawn numbers that match your wheel pool numbers. Win - Guaranteed to have at least 1 line with that many matching numbers in the wheeled combination or more. If there is a line with 4 winning numbers, it definitely has any combination of 3 winning numbers, and thus qualifies as having 3 Winning numbers; even if there are no lines with just 3 winning numbers. We'd prefer the 4 winning numbers line than just 3.

Adrenaline in rope centres
You can choose from several professional rope centres in South Moravia, such as Proud and the Jungle Parks in Brno and the Rope Park in Vranov nad Dyjí. The centres can organize events for your employees, business partners and clients. These events do not have to necessarily involve only adrenaline chasing between heaven and earth, but can also help to develop team work and communication, improve informal relationships and teamwork. You can experience adrenaline-filled adventures on high ropes. The centres provide skilled instructors and equipment for rent. You can also look forward to both low and high climbing obstacles, nets, walls, ropeways and may other attractions. The programme can be prepared both for individuals and teams.
Option 1
A programme in the Proud rope centre in Lesná features a Big Swing from13 metresabove ground for the most adventurous ones and recently also one of the longest zip lines in the Czech Republic. You can look forward to a300 metrezip line and unique views of the city of Brno.
Option 2
The Jungle Park rope centre on the right bank of the Svratka River offers not only climbing programmes, but also other sports activities n the adjacent SPK Kometa Brno sports centre, and canoeing, kayaking and rafting on the Svratka River. Night climbing and two 40-metre zip lines across the Svratka are especially magic.
Option 3
The Vranov nad Dyjí rope park is located on the Vranov reservoir campsite. It features 17 obstacles and four zip lines at the height of 4 to9 metresin tree tops.

Eye Candy! of the week
|By Amanda Harrell-Seyburn
Property: Printer's Row, St. Joseph Highway and Grand Avenue, Lansing
Printers Row is an excellent example of how higher density development can be a viable and attractive feature of Lansings urban landscape. Residents can walk down tree-lined streets, where cars are secondary to pedestrians, and relax on benches at the steps of the Kerr house. Printer's Row developer Gene Townsend, says, "Lansing can have what other cities have. With a little bit of courage, the excitement that comes with higher density by building on our parking lots, putting people ahead of cars will, in the long run, make us a vibrant and economically successful city."

Perfect setting for a romantic getaway. Much quieter than any hotel. Owners go above and beyond with service, room details, and privacy. Beautiful wooded setting away from commercialism. Would highly recommend!
3 miles from hwy 61 on Hwy 1. Very quiet location. We didn't see it here anyone else except in the lobby and at breakfast. The place is beautiful with very nice rooms. W stayed in the river room which faces the river and has a balcony. The B&B doesn't appear to have air conditioning but there is a ceiling fan and windows on two walls in the river room and in the bathroom so it does cool off well at night. Breakfast was very good with pleasant company with other guests and the hostess. Breakfast was at 9 am and we left a little after 10.
Excellent in every way. If you are going to the North Shore, check it out!
This was our third visit to the Baptism River Inn B&B and we have enjoyed each one having stayed in a different room each time. The setting is so peaceful and the rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable. We have loved Lura's breakfasts and the conversations around the table. We will return and look forward to our next visit.
Beautiful rooms, clean, friendly....beautiful setting !
We stayed in the Evergreen Suite for one night on 5/9/17 and loved it! Wished we could have stayed longer. The suite and food were exceptional! The Baptism river is beautiful and the rushing water can be heard when the windows are cracked open, making the experience even better! The river is very picturesque with large rocks to climb/sit on and just enjoy the whole experience. Internet connection was good.
Stayed in the Evergreen Suite. Was a great place to stay--more than enough room to spread out and relax and not be in one another's space all the time. Separate eating room was great in our suite(Other guest eat communally). We were close to great skiing(National Forest Lodge) and Northwoods skiing in Silver Bay. The breakfasts were filling and presented in a modest and simple manner. The whirlpool was a great addition after several hours of CC skiing. The shower leaked a little and needs attention. The only real fault was the lack of even all of the local stations on the TV(only Fox and Public TV). Other than that--this place is great--
We just spent a wonderful weekend here for a little get-away. WOW, what a wonderful place to stay. This home is beautiful, comfortable, cozy, well-appointed and all in a lovely setting in the woods. We can't wait to plan our return trip! Lura and Andy are wonderful hosts and the breakfasts (and cookies!) were absolutely scrumptious! A hike down the trail to the Baptism River was great and offered a lovely setting for pictures, including the cute little Sauna House! If you are looking for a romantic getaway...look no further! If you need a TV - go to a hotel...this is an unplugged from the world's troubles place. Stayed July 2016
This was a great location to explore the North Shore of Lake Superior. We stayed in the River Room. The best thing about it was the sound of the river running past and the lovely balcony. The B & B was very clean and quiet. You could not hear the other guests when you were in your room. We loved our stay.
Nice, secluded retreat along the North Shore. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were great. The owners were great to visit with. The sauna looked inviting but did not have a chance to use. Walked along the Baptism river, beautiful views and swimming opportunities.
This is a great getaway to the most spectacular part of Minnesota - the rooms and facility are immaculate and the breakfasts are fantastic!
My wife and I came here for our 5th anniversary. We stayed in the Evergreen Suite. It included a private bath with 2 person tub, a fireplace, a kitchenette, and a small patio. The room is very large and I appreciated that. We also took advantage of the sauna which was great. I loved waking up to the faint sound of the Baptism River rushing over the rocks. We loved the location of this B&B best, it is nestled in the woods off the highway and is very peaceful. We recommend this place highly and would come back. Our only negative criticism is that breakfast isn't served until 9am which is a little late for us.
This was my first B&B so I wasn't sure what to expect, but this place was wonderful. It was quiet, peaceful and so relaxing. My husband and I stayed in the Evergreen Suite and it was so clean and big it was a wonderful place to enjoy our 10 year anniversary. The breakfast was delicious, only it wasn't served until 9am which was a little to late for us as we are morning people and like to start our day earlier, other than that everything was wonderful and worth the money. The river by the Inn was so peaceful to sit by in the morning. We would definitely return to this B&B.
What an amazing wonderful getaway in the woods! This was our first and definitely not our last stay. We stayed in the Evergreen Suite. As soon as you open the door you know you know you are going to enjoy this. You walk into the breakfast nook which has a table full of coffee drinks, coffee maker, teas, chai tea, wine bottle opener, plates, coffee mugs and glasses. There is a small refrigerator. There are 2 padded chairs and a round table. If you step ahead and open the door you will step outside on your own private deck and view beautiful pines. It felt like you are deep in the mountains even though they are only hills. it snowed one afternoon and was so peaceful and beautiful. Breakfast was delicious every morning. I especially enjoyed the scone and omelet for one of the meals and the Bread pudding and sausage breakfast was so filling on our last day. Fresh cookies in the lobby were good also. We felt so at home here. Our bedroom was large including a high rise king size bed, chairs, couch and wood stove which we built a fire in each night. So relaxing! The bed was so comfortable, I haven't slept pain free in so long and I awoke without back pain. The bathroom has a large storage area for your luggage and clothing. The double sinks are built in a high dresser. There is a shower in the corner and the whirlpool jacuzzi each night was very relaxing, The floors are heated also. We explored the nearby towns and drove to Grand Marais. The deer were frequent on the roads and even in town. There are snowshoes available to go trekking with and a sauna also. Towels and flashlight are right inside the door to take out with you. We enjoyed this getaway for my 50th bday and reconnecting with each other. We have been married over 31 years and you really need to make time for each other away from the usual day to day stresses. We had an amazing time and plan to return again!
We have stayed at the Baptism River Inn a few times and have never been disapppointed. The rooms have always been clean and so relaxing in a perfect setting. The breakfasts are delicious! We have even made some requests for our favorite breakfast based on past stays and Lura is always accommodating. We always look forward to staying at the Baptism River Inn and will definitely be visiting again in the future!!
Went here to spend a peaceful weekend with my wife. Loved the hospitality and facilities at Baptism River Inn. The room was very nice and the bed was so comfortable that I slept like a baby after a long time. Also, the private whirlpool and outdoor wood fired sauna were icing on the cake and made the stay memorable. Lura (one of the owners) made the breakfast every morning and I have to say that I am out of words to give a compliment. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We went for cross country skiing at a place called National Forest Lodge which is also owned by the B&B owners and they let us park there so that we can enjoy our skiing to the fullest. Loved the experience while skiing and it was probably the prettiest of all the cross country skiing I've done in the US. Will definitely recommend this to everyone who wants to have a pleasant and memorable stay in Minnesota.
What a gem tucked away in the woods! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Baptism River Inn, celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary! The first night was nice & warm, so we enjoyed a bottle of wine out on the deck, watching the stars on the perfectly clear night. Breakfast was AMAZING both mornings! Our 1st morning, we snuck out early enough to catch the beautiful sunrise at the Silver Bay Marina - so perfect! We hope to be able to come back some day. The Baptism River Inn is the perfect place to rest, relax, and recharge before heading back to reality. Thank you Lura & Andy!
This is my first experience at a B&B and really appreciated what was offered to us. I wasn't sure what to expect but wasn't disappointed and would do it again without hesitation. It didn't hurt to hear a visitor that was there the same tie as us say that this was their 5th time staying at Baptism River Bed & Breakfast. I cannot think of any higher recommendation than that!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Bed & Breakfast! The room was very clean & warm with beautiful decor that gave a country feel. The bed was very comfortable & the two person whirlpool tub was just perfect. The breakfast was outstanding & the company was great! We definitely will be back!
Our stay at the Baptism River B and B was absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed our room, the sounds of the river, our bed was to die for and the breakfasts we're amazing. The whirlpool was so nice and the view of the stars from our balcony was breathtaking. We will be back. Loved the poke a dotted rubber duckies. They we're the bomb. Thank you Andy and Lura!!!
This was our second visit to the Baptism River B & B and we hope to make many more.
We decided on this secluded, tranquil Bed and Breakfast after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. What a superb choice that we made that truly exceeded all our expectations. This lovely log home is in private wooden setting with only the sound of the trickling river nearby.The Inn provides amenities to enjoy in the lodge's lobby area during your stay. Lura was a lovely hostess who made our stay even more enjoyable. She served a lovely, scruptious breakfast and was a delight to visit with each morning. Baptism River Inn is a perfect place to spend some quiet couple's time without the interruptions of technology. Also, it is a great place to unwind, relax and spend some quality time together, We had the place to ourselves one evening so I had the chance to look and explore in each room. All rooms are lovely,beautiful and each suite is tastefully decorated. You will not regret a night spent in any of the Inn:s comfortable beds and the price is very reasonable for a perfect stay at a lovely Bed and Breakfast in the Northshore area. Detail is given to each and every moment of your stay and the owners are quite hospitable Thanks Lura and Andy for sharing your home with us.
The 4th of July was great in Silver Bay with beautiful fireworks. However, we actually preferred the fireflies that entertained us afterward at the inn, flying through the air like our own private fireworks show off our balcony! This lovely inn is like nothing we have ever experienced, complete tranquility and beauty all around. The setting is unmatched, and the sound of the Baptism River (ours was the "River Room") is soothing as well as a wow factor. It lulls you to sleep big time. We felt a sense of comfort and care the minute we walked through the door. Actually, just driving up to this setting is comforting. Over a sparkling creek, and parking on a circular drive surrounded by nature. The log home is stunning. It's like the one in your dreams! I could write on and on, but suffice it to say that this is a very unique place that is charming and the perfect getaway beyond belief. And we were not even able to stay for the breakfast! That was our only regret.
I am compelled to submit my first review, because it is not often that you find a place that is even better than what is viewed online and exceeds your expectations. Baptism River Inn is beautiful, nestled in the trees along the Baptism River, a few short steps from one of the loveliest river views that we saw in the North Shore area. On top of that, the breakfasts were a treat. We stayed four nights and had a different breakfast each morning, but would have gladly repeated any of them. The food was not only excellent, but it was creative and hearty. We were able to hike and bike most of the day and come back to the room and let the whirlpool tub bubble away our aches and pains. This was our first stay in a bed and breakfast and I'm afraid it may have set the bar too high for future experiences, but I hope not. We really appreciated our conversations with Lura and the other guests and hope to return some time in the future.
Very quiet & relaxing setting in woods deep in the country. Room was large, bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Hosts were informative, friendly, but not intrusive. Home was beautiful and functional. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quite relaxing stay away from the rat race.
Baptism River Inn was exactly what we were looking for as a base for our cross country ski weekend Up North -- just three hours from the Twin Cities and an hour north of Duluth, it was easy to get to and when we arrived we were incredibly charmed by the inn. It was the perfect combination of rustic and comfortable, and our hosts Andy & Lura could not have been nicer. We'd highly recommend this to anyone considering a trip to the North Shore!!
We had a wonderful time during our stay at the Baptism River Inn. The hostess was more than gracious and went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. We loved exploring the Baptism River by way of the path near the sauna. Speaking of the sauna - it was incredible! We went in after dark and loved stepping outside for some cool air and gazing at the stars. The room was incredibly comfortable and the whirlpool bath was divine. My only tip would be to add a bit more to breakfast - we were still a tad hungry afterwards both mornings. But that is not to say it was not delicious! Thank you again for your wonderful B&B!
Went here for our 30th wedding anniversary! We were not disappointed. Its such a nice place, very peaceful and relaxing. We highly recommend it.
A very clean and beautiful bed and breakfast located off the the beaten path. Lura is very friendly and welcoming. The room we stayed in (sunset room) was tastefully decorated and had a fantastic whirlpool tub. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would highly recommend it!
We stayed here for our 10 year anniversary. We had an amazing time. It was so quiet and peaceful. We stayed in the River room. Loved listening to the sounds of the Baptism River while sitting on our private balcony with a glass of champagne. This is our new favorite place! P.S. the food is also amazing!!

Pagenaud is the sixth different winner in seven races this season (Hinchcliffe, Hunter-Reay, Sato, Kanaan, Conway, Pagenaud).
DETROIT -- Simon Pagenaud became the sixth different winner in seven IZOD IndyCar Series races when he drove the No. 77 Schmidt Hamilton HP Motorsports car to 5.6-second victory in the second race of the Chevrolet Indy Dual in Detroit presented by Quicken Loans.
"It's unbelievable. I don't know how we did it," said Pagenaud, who started sixth in the 70-lap race on the 2.346-mile, 13-turn street course. "It's a great feeling. One I hope of more to come. I started karting when I was 8 so it's been 21 years of hard work to finally win an IndyCar race."
James Jakes, who started second, finished a career-best second in the No. 16 Acorn Stairlifts car for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing by holding off Race 1 winner Mike Conway by .4342 of a second. Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti were next to cross the start-finish line.
Helio Castroneves overtook Graham Rahal on the final laps for eighth place, gaining the extra point to retain the championship points lead. He's tied at 206 with Marco Andretti, who finished sixth, heading to the Firestone 550 on June 8 at Texas Motor Speedway.
In Race 1 on June 1, Conway overtook Ryan Hunter-Reay for the lead on Lap 44, built a 20-second gap leading into the final round of pit stops and went on to easily claim his second series victory. Because Conway missed sweeping the inaugural IZOD IndyCar Series doubleheader, the prize fund for the SONAX Perfect Finish Award jumps to $100,000 at the Honda Toronto Indy in mid-July.
Chevrolet Indy dual in Detroit #2 post-race quotes:
SIMON PAGENAUD (No. 77 Schmidt Hamilton HP Motorsports Honda): "There were a lot of things going on in the cockpit in the last two laps, I can tell you that. It's unbelievable. I don't know how we did it. The car was mega fast. The HP team did a fantastic job. Honda has been amazing. I certainly had more horsepower than anyone else out there right now. Thanks to everybody. I want to thank my family and everybody around me. This wouldn't have happened without them. Man, it's a great feeling. One I hope of more to come."
JAMES JAKES (No. 16 Acorn Stairlifts Honda): "It's huge. It's huge for a lot of people. The Rahal Letterman Lanigan guys have done a great job this weekend. This one is for Honda. Three Hondas on the podium in Detroit again. They've really worked their butts off since Indy, and we're proud of them. The No. 16 Acorn Stairlifts-StemCyte car was just magical today."
JUSTIN WILSON (No. 19 Dale Coyne Racing Honda): "Something happened up ahead, and I was going into the corner on the outside of Charlie (Kimball), and I couldn't see because the rear wing is so big and everyone just stopped. And it was just a road block. The complete track was blocked from where I was. I hit the wall trying not to run into anyone. It's a disappointing day. Had a good race car. Seems like everyone is getting a little crazy today. Yesterday was nice and calm, but today was crazy."
AJ ALLMENDINGER (No. 2 Quicken Loans Team Penske Chevrolet): "(Did your thumb affect his crash?): "No, that's just a poor excuse right there. It was just a huge mistake by me again. Start of the race, trying to be aggressive, not kind of get sucked into everything and just made a mistake again. I don't know what to say, I apologize to Roger, everybody at Team Penske, Quicken Loans, everybody that puts in the effort, all my guys, it's embarrassing, honestly. It's embarrassing for me. Roger deserves better than that, the sponsors, it's just a great event here in Detroit, Bud Denker and everybody put on such event. I don't know where I go from here. I'm heartbroken, I don't even know what to say anymore. Hopefully Will and Helio can go win this thing, Roger deserves it. I feel so lucky that he believes in me and that's not even close to how I want to repay him. We'll figure out where I'm going to go.
SCOTT DIXON (No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda): "It wasn't as physical as yesterday's race with the caution periods and everything. It was still a grueling day and we had a few issues with the car with the shifting and then toward the end when we were on red tires something broke in the suspension. It wore a big hole in the car so I'm just happy the Target car finished where it did today."
DARIO FRANCHITTI (No. 10 Suave Honda): "Our day was pretty crazy. We took a very aggressive strategy on the Suave car. We had to make some serious fuel mileage at the end which was frustrating for us because we were really fast. We just had to make that fuel mileage because another trip to the pits would have sent us way back there. We struggled a little bit on restarts to get going and I was thankful to be out in front of that big crash. It was a pretty interesting day at the office."
CHARLIE KIMBALL (No. 83 NovoLog FlexPen Honda): "What a great job by the No. 83 NovoLog FlexPen guys in the pits. They ran two solid pit stops and I couldn't have asked for more. They played the strategy dead-right as far as I was concerned. The communication was really good, they let me know what I needed to do through the restarts. The Novo Nordisk car has been producing all weekend. We've had so little track-time that we were able to take the experience from yesterday's race and put it into a top-10 for today's race. I'm looking forward to going to Texas, Milwaukee and Iowa. Coming off the car and the race we had in Indy, I think it will show really well. It looks like Honda and HPD have taken a good step forward today, sweeping the top-5 in the second race and that will be good as we get going in the season."
WILL POWER (No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet): "I thought the Verizon car was good enough to win today, it's a real shame that we didn't get the opportunity to run the entire race. I hate it for the Verizon guys as they had given me such a fast car and really deserve to get a win. They did an amazing job to get me back out there to finish the race and I can't thank them enough for that. I feel the team is right on the cusp of really taking off and I look forward to getting to Texas to give it our best shot."
MIKE CONWAY (No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing Honda): (On strategy after last pit stop) "Just driving flat out. As fast as it would go. I pushed really hard at the beginning and that may have taken a little bit out of the tires but it was still good towards the end. I was catching James [Jakes], I could see he was on reds, so he started to pull away to start with when he came out to start with from that last pit stop. I thought they may go out until the end, and they were, and I used my overtake, the one I had left, maybe a lap to early. And that was enough. I couldn't quite get close enough." (On the physicality of the track) "Yeah, it was tough. You're pushing maximum effort all the time. Especially on the restarts. You have no time to relax. And even with the breaks with the safety car, you know of need that little breather to get your heart rate back down. But you know, I feel good. Adrenaline is pumping. But I'm sure I'll be shattered tonight."
MARCO ANDRETTI (No. 25 RC Cola Chevrolet): "We were missing a little bit to the top guys, but I think we got about as good as we can get from starting 14th. All the RC Cola guys did their part in the pits and with strategy, and I was able to hang on and gain a little ground. But, like I said we were still a little bit off. It's good to get back up there in the points and we'll keep marching forward at Texas next weekend."
HELIO CASTRONEVES (No. 3 Hitachi Team Penske Chevrolet): "Wow, what an adventurous day we had in the Hitachi car, we crashed and somehow still had a great race. Credit the Hitachi crew for fixing the car and putting me in a position to turn some great laps at the end. It felt like we just won the lottery being able to finish in the top-10. We leave here tied for the top of the points standings, which is where we want to be, so overall it was a good weekend."
RYAN HUNTER-REAY (No. 1 DHL Chevrolet): "I just threw the race away; completely my fault. I just tagged the right front on the entry wall at one of the corners here. That's how it is with street circuits; when you mistake by an inch, it can cause you a race. The guys did an unbelievable job - we only lost 11 laps. The right front and right rear corner were damaged completely. To only lose 11 laps is just miraculous; they did a great job. Unfortunately, we didn't get any more yellows to help us out."
JOSEF NEWGARDEN (No. 67 Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing Honda): "It's a shame that we got caught out by something that wasn't our fault. We just had to salvage what we could. It's a tough day but at least we got some points. They're pretty stout here at SFHR so they did the best job they could to put it (the car) back together and get it going as quickly aspossible under green flag conditions. We fixed it as quickly as we could and didn't lose too many laps and ran it right to the end and got some spots back through the cautions, which was lucky."
ED CARPENTER (No. 20 Fuzzy's Vodka/Ed Carpenter Racing Chevrolet): "That was a wild one. I got into Tag (Alex Tagliani) one time and that was my fault. But the way it all worked out, it didn't really matter unfortunately. The big pileup in turn one took us all out anyway. It's just a bummer. We had an okay race Saturday, and I think we would have been better today. It was a better finish but we really didn't get to run the race. I really feel badly as a group that we didn't get it done for Chevrolet. Hopefully we can make up and get one at Texas next Saturday night. I thought our team did a good job and kept their cool in the pits today. Everyone had the right frame of mind and fixed the things we needed done. We did gain a few positions due to their hard work. We were able to score some valuable points today. The guys really kept their heads with the crazy circumstances that we were dealing with today. Now, it's on to Texas and I'm very excited to go there this week. I feel like we will be in contention there, but, at the same time, this series is so competitive it will be tough in Texas."
SEBASTIAN SAAVEDRA (No. 6 Dragon Racing Chevrolet): "Very proud of the #6 TrueCar Dragon Racing boys today, they did an amazing job. It was more than a race today, it was a battle for survival. I am very happy to finish in the way we did, since we were not looking that good in the beginning. We battled tire pressure issues, but were able to stay calm and move from there. I am just very proud of the team and the strategy we had for the race today. It was a great way to end my birthday and I am very thankful for all of my supporters."
SEBASTIEN BOURDAIS (No. 7 Dragon Racing Chevrolet): "I am really ashamed for the guys because they have worked so hard to give me a fast car. We got robbed and that is not right. Yesterday my teammate was taken out by Marco (Andretti) and there was no penalty given. We have had at least 15 contacts throughout the weekend and maybe 2 or 3 guys were penalized, including me today. I hardly touched Will Power at that restart and was penalized. This is just not right because my team works so hard and we deserve so much better than this."
E.J. VISO (No. 5 Team Venezuela PDVSA Citgo Chevrolet): ""It was a weekend to forget, but also a weekend to learn from. I think we've shown to have the speed, but we really didn't have all the factors aligned during the races. I believe that, anyways, even if it was an unsuccessful weekend, it was another weekend that we've proved we had speed. Starting the first race on "pole" was good. Starting the second race in the top five was good. Just some misfortunes during the races didn't contribute to a good result. Now I'm looking forward to the upcoming ovals which I have a lot of faith on."
TONY KANAAN (No. 11 Hippino.com KV Racing Technology-SH Racing Chevrolet): "We gambled on the strategy to try to get upfront but because the way that the yellow flags played out we didn't get the most of it. The timing was wrong and by the end of the race I had to pit for fuel, which dropped me back to the end of the line. I still have to thank the guys from Hippino.com for coming on board for this race, they we're awesome. Let's turn the page and focus on Texas next week. We had a good race going last year at TMS and I believe that we'll be fast there again on Saturday night under the lights."
GRAHAM RAHAL (No. 15 Midas/Big O Tires Honda): "It was a busy race. On the initial start I was the series punching bag; I got hit by about 10 guys and pushed backwards. And the car just didn't really come to me until a few laps in. Unfortunately it kept going yellow and we barely got any clear running. When we got up and running, we tried a different strategy to make up a little bit of time and initially it was working but with all of the yellows that came out, everybody ended up doing a similar sort of thing. By no means am I upset with where we finished but certainly this weekend has been a difficult weekend for all of us. James (Jakes) did a great job and we scored two top-10's but we need to find a better balance in our cars, not only here but the ovals and everything."
JAMES HINCHCLIFFE (No. 27 GoDaddy Chevrolet): "The restarts today were a lot slower than yesterday. It was getting a lot more guys packed up and we saw the result. It wasn't just us... it seemed like every restart someone was getting caught up in something, and I honestly think (the restarts) were just a little bit too slow. One restart we lose a couple places; one restart we gain five and one restart we're pretty much out of the race. It's just one of those things when you do double-file restarts on a tight track like this. The GoDaddy car was really good, and we were making progress like we did yesterday. We were moving up and then Will (Power) got tagged and spun, and I thought I had a gap -- he started to roll backward and then rolled forward and closed the gap I was aiming for. We went back to the truck and the guys did an awesome job getting the thing fixed. We went back out to try and salvage some points. They did a tremendous job getting the car back in shape; our third lap back out there was our fastest lap of the race at the time. It's just unfortunate when you see that because we know we had a good race car and we just didn't get to show it today."

How to Make Money Online
as a Second Life® Land Baron
Your Ultimate Guide
To Making Money in Second Life!
Howdy soon-to-be-land-baron!
Do you dream of earning riches through Real Estate?
Having tenants pay your bills?
Living an incredible lifestyle, driving a fancy car, owning a vacation home in the Caribbean?
Sounds awesome right?
Five years ago, I thought so too. I read a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki which convinced me that Real Estate was the answer to all my prayers. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars on investment seminars, chasing little green houses and hoping they would magically turn into red hotels.
The Real Estate gurus said I would have to:
- chase deals
- get bank financing
- mortgage myself to the hilt
- hire management companies
- hire real estate brokers
- hire insurance agents
- deal with property taxes
- screen my tenants
- obey eviction laws
- and fix broken toilets!
Sure, how about I just slather myself in honey and walk into a swarm of flesh eating ants?
You see, if you want to earn the Big Bucks in real life Real Estate, if you want to become the next Warren Buffett, you need MONEY. Lots of money.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm just saying for average people like you and me it is nearly impossible.
Fortunately, while I was being eaten by flesh eating ants, my virtual land business was spitting out cash. Real money, paid by real people, for fake land. Yes, you heard me–fake land!
I had tapped into the virtual real estate market in Second Life.
- My business brought in money while I slept.
- I had no real estate brokers.
- I had no insurance agents.
- I paid no property taxes.
- I had no repairs.
- I had no toilets.
- I screened no tenants.
- I evicted with a click.
I've been doing this since 2007, and I still do it today.
And now it's time for me to show you how.
Am I special?
Better than you?
Nope. I'm an just average guy in my mid-40s, with no business degree, and absolutely no technical skills. Heck, I still have trouble figuring out how to use the Remote Control!
Yet I somehow managed to build a virtual real estate business that generated gross sales of over $656,785 in the last three years alone.
My business has prospered while dozens of my competitors have gone out of business, literally dropping off the map.
What is my secret?
I'm good with numbers, have good people skills, a brilliant wife, and I treat my business as a business. That's it.
You could leave right now, close this web page, log into Second Life and start your own business – treat it like a business – and start making a profit.
You don't need this book to be a land dealer in Second Life.
But if you go down that road, without my help, you will face a steep learning curve, pitfalls, and countless mistakes.
I've made thousands of dollars worth of mistakes so you don't have to!
Why learn from trial and error, when I've created a proven path you can follow?
When I started my business it took me a full six months to get into profit, and I WASTED $4,167 in the process.
Up until now there has never been a guide that gives away all the secrets of a virtual land baron,
in so much easy to follow, step by step detail.
Why not? Because traditionally Second Life Land Barons don't help the competition.
VIRTUAL BREADWINNER has broken that silence!
And people are chomping at the bit to get their hands on this three volume road map to running a successful Second Life land business.
What people are saying about Virtual Breadwinner:
"Love the book!!
It is hard to put it down, such an easy read but packed with powerful information! It reads so fluently and smooth, not many "business books" accomplish that.
This is a virtual guide that everyone should read." — DiggerDawson Resident
"This book is the best for anyone who wants to be a land baron. Five Stars – Great Book!"
Ricardo Sorciere
Even people who are already Second Life land barons are finding value in Virtual Breadwinner.
"Do you plan to make profit in the Second Life land business?
Virtual Breadwinner gives you practical guidance which will save you a year of trial-and-error.
Even for those of us already in the business, there are a lot of tips to learn. This book is helpful and inspiring. I now have a dream of expanding my business!" —
Giggle Luik, Alpha Properties
"Well organized, clear, easy to understand and thorough! Virtual Breadwinner is filled with tips and links covering every aspect of the business, everything you need to know is right there. This e-book is a must-have for anyone that wants to start making money in Second Life."
— Winter Loxely, Loxely Estates
So, what does being a Second Life land baron mean?
Money and Freedom.
Freedom from stress and worry. Freedom from bosses and time cards.
Freedom from dress codes and overtime. Freedom to live the life you want to live.
Do you want to be a Super Star? In Second Life you can!
You can reach Warren Buffett status!
You can look HOT, party with your friends, and become a part of something larger than yourself. Your tenants will become like your extended family, and you'll make friends from all over the world!
And it's not just your Second Life that can be amazing.
Let me tell you, once your virtual real estate business starts spitting out cash, your life will become more comfortable. You'll have cash to pay your bills. At dinner time, you can chomp down on a big, meaty rib-eye instead of finding the "affordable" section of the menu. You can go to the movies whenever you want, without sweating those exorbitant ticket prices.
Your neighbor will wonder how the heck you can afford a Lexus when you don't even have a job! And he will be baffled when you tell him you rent fake land for real money – and its an honest income!
(That's not our Lexus in the picture, but ours looks just like it!)
All of a sudden you will have more time for family, friends, and all the things you want to do with your life. You won't be chained to your job, or stuck behind your desk. At last, you'll have that freedom you have always wanted.
Because your Second Life land business will be on auto-pilot!

Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne: If Tony Iommi Dies, I'm Gonna Kill Him!
While fan outcry grows over the recent rift between Bill Ward and the rest of his bandmates in the newly reunited Black Sabbath, guitarist Tony Iommi continues his battle against cancer — and he can count on vocal support (in more ways than one) from Ozzy Osbourne.
Killswitch Engage Officially Confirm Jesse Leach as New Singer
Confirming an earlier report, Killswitch Engage have replaced recently departed singer Howard Jones by turning to a familiar face (and voice): original vocalist Jesse Leach.
Nikki Sixx to Make Acting Debut in Indie Film
He's a prolific musician, a member of one of the most successful rock bands of all time, a published author, and an entrepreneur — and now, thanks to his role in an upcoming indie film, Nikki Sixx can add "actor" to his long list of accomplishments too.
Slash Wraps Sessions for Upcoming Solo Album
While you were focusing on the Super Bowl over the weekend, Slash was hard at work — and all that dedication paid off with a brand new video and completed tracks for his next studio album.
Slayer Hitting Studio in March for New Album
Good news, Slayer fans: Your long wait for new music is almost over. The band has announced plans to head into the studio next month to start laying down tracks for their twelfth studio album, and first since 2009′s 'World Painted Blood.'
AC/DC Get Their Own Pinball Machine
For nearly 40 years now, AC/DC have remained a proud bastion of good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll regardless of changing trends — so it only stands to reason that in 2012, long after the pinball industry's glorious heyday, the legendary rockers are teaming up with Stern Pinball to create their own game.
Watch Slipknot Members' Short Film 'Thy Shalt I'
They warned you it was coming, and now Slipknot's Corey Taylor and Shawn "Clown" Crahan have unleashed their moviemaking debut on the world. Titled 'Thy Shalt I,' the 15-minute short film debuted at Sundance last weekend, and it serves as the opening salvo in the duo's plans for their new film and television production company Living Breathing Films.
Glenn Five Explains Anvil Split in Detail
Several days after announcing he was quitting the band, recently departed Anvil bassist Glenn Five has opened up about his decision in a wide-ranging interview with BraveWords.com, discussing his reasons for leaving his musical home of 16 years and talking in-depth about the creative rifts that forced him to walk away.
Ozzy Osbourne Giving Away a Free Colonoscopy
Interested in getting your colon checked out by a doctor, but reluctant to pony up for the co-pay? Never fear, Ozzy's here. The Black Sabbath frontman and his wife Sharon are joining forces with CBS and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital for this year's CBS Cares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes, which will treat one winner to a three-day stay in New York City, complete with potentially lifesaving medical procedure.
Axl Rose: Welcome to Jury Duty
Given his well-known penchant for showing up late — not to mention his knack for inciting the occasional riot — you'd think most lawyers would blanch at the prospect of W. Axl Rose serving on a trial jury. But that didn't keep the Guns N' Roses singer from doing his civic duty when his number was called for a recent civil trial in Santa Monica, Calif.
Velvet Revolver Perform Set With Scott Weiland at Charity Gig
Four years after their acrimonious split, the members of Velvet Revolver reunited with lead singer Scott Weiland for a brief live set last night (Jan. 12) — and now a message on the band's website is causing some to question whether Weiland could be back in the fold on a more permanent basis.
Eddie Van Halen Donates 75 Guitars to School Music Programs
Being in the school band just got a whole lot cooler for some of the kids in the Los Angeles area: Eddie Van Halen has teamed up with the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation to donate 75 guitars from his personal collection to schools that don't have enough funding to pay for instruments. For Van Halen, it was a simple case of giving back — as he put it simply, "Music education and families are dealing with the economic times, and I wanted to help them."

Diocesan foundation says fundraising on track
The Foundation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has raised $230,000 thus far for its most important annual fundraiser — and organizers say that's encouraging progress toward its eventual goal of $350,000.
The 14th annual "Making a Difference Dinner – A Celebration of Catholic Schools," will be held Jan. 30 at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
The event has grown bigger every year (it raised $255,000 in 2011, $262,000 in 2012 and $335,000 in 2013) and that's no accident. The proceeds go to fund scholarships for K-8 students in Diocesan schools, where the ability to afford a Catholic education has become a major focus in recent years.
Catholic school tuition has increased by 7 percent recently, while family income has decreased by 7.7 percent, according to foundation data.
"One of the objectives of the Diocese is to make certain Catholic education remains affordable and an option for all families, not just the affluent," said Rick Suchan, executive director of the Diocese foundation. "We're committed to doing what we can to keep schools thriving with strong enrollments."
The Diocese is currently analyzing the educational model for its 45 elementary schools, which educate roughly 11,000 students in eight counties. It is expected to announce a new plan this month for approval in the 2014-15 school year.
And Sister Carol Cimino, appointed as superintendent of Diocese schools in January 2013, has said fundraising needs to improve in the whole system and individual schools.
Nearly 1,200 people are expected for the "Making a Difference" event, with the Diocese foundation hoping to sell around 1,000 tickets. Funds will also come from individual tickets, corporate tables and sponsorships – and subsequent programs like the Snow Ball Dances to be held Jan. 31.
The proceeds will support a scholarship program run in conjunction with the Bison Children's Scholarship Program. That partnership is supporting nearly 930 Catholic and non-Catholic students in Diocese schools this year, with an average grant of $1,012. Hundreds of families are on the waiting list.
The event will begin with a reception at 5:45 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:45 p.m. and a closing prayer at 8:45 p.m. Catholic Health is the presenting sponsor, The William E. & Ann L. Swan Foundation is the lead sponsor and Maid of the Mist Corp. is the event sponsor.
More information on the events can be found at the Diocese foundation's main website, www.frcdb.org, or www.snowballdance.com.

Who would refuse to be served with the mouth watering delicious Mex-Tex dishes? They are known worldwide for their extraordinary taste. People all over the states prefer them on many other dishes. Though, you can find them in many places but eating them in Texas is something different. The taste that is introduced in Dallas to Mex-Tex dishes is incomparable. You have the best of these dishes in your hometown if you are living in Dallas and for sure you have eaten most of them and have enjoyed their unique palatable taste. But if you are new to the town or you are going to relocate there you must be so eager to try these dishes soon. Before you start looking for Dallas Rentals try a few websites to find a good accommodation, ask friends in Texas where to live in Dallas to enjoy the best of the culture and life of local folks. Though, the inbuilt features and facilities of an apartment are considered to be the most important thing to focus on, but the neighborhood and the city culture is also of high importance.
The local people can tell you a lot about the places they live in and their amazing features but what a friend can tell you who has relocated there from some other place or city is different than any other person's experience. An individual with an insight of life in other states and a good experience of living in Dallas knows the major difference between the life in Texas and other places. Though, this is not the turning point of your relocation, but it is a good addition to your knowledge about Dallas and can help you choose a good accommodation. Rental Apartments in Dallas have a lot to offer to its residents. There are comfort and style in the life of these living units. The community is great. With your friendly and good-natured neighbors, you never feel alone or depressed. The community facilities keep you engaged in your free hours, and you get rid of the confinement inside the apartment and go out for a walk or playing sports.
Relocating to Dallas is a pleasant and happy change, and you can make it more and more enjoyable by adding amazing details to your relocation. Schedule your visits to the best places in the city and do not miss to join two or three events in the city that make you feel more comfortable with the people and city. The more you know the culture and people the more you feel relaxed and happy about your relocation. Visit the markets and shops which are in abundance in Dallas. Enjoy finding new deals on so many good home accessories. You can adorn your new living room with some fantastic cowboy hats. Any new place is a bit strange at the start because you are not familiar with it, but Texas is different. The people are so friendly that you forget that you are new to this place!

Guardian calls Israeli border fences a sign of weakness

Cold weather and thick ice has continued to hamper the search for victims of a Quebec retirement home fire that left at least 14 people dead. Quebec provincial police also said 18 people were still missing and presumed dead after the fifth day of the excruciating recovery effort.
Police and firefighters used special machines that pump out hot air to melt thick ice coating the ruins.
The work has been slow and painstaking, with workers being given periodic breaks as they brave bitterly cold temperatures and strong winds in L'Isle-Verte, a town 140 miles (225 kilometers) northeast of Quebec City.
The massive blaze broke out around 12:30 p.m. Thursday at the senior residence in L'Isle-Verte, a small town 280 miles northeast of Montreal, Canada. Frigid temperatures have made search efforts difficult, as water used to fight the blaze froze, coating the collapsed building in ice.
(MORE: Winter Weather Live Updates: Weekend Snow, Blizzard Conditions)
On Sunday, the owner of Residence du Havre in the Quebec town of L'Isle-Verte offered his condolences to the families of 32 seniors presumed dead.
"What you're living inside, we are living it inside as well," Roch Bernier told a gathering of the victims' families at Sunday afternoon Mass. "We will try to find the strength to get through this."
Quebec Premier Pauline Marois cut short a trip to Europe to visit L'Isle-Verte on Sunday, where she met with the mayor and went to the scene of Thursday's fire.
The premier told a news conference that everything is being done to provide support for those who survived the fire and to give closure to those still awaiting word on their loved ones. She called the blaze "unacceptable" and said the provincial government is prepared to bring about any changes that are necessary to increase safety in senior residences.
"First of all, we will wait for the inquiry because now, we don't have the results of this evaluation and examination," Marois said. "After that, we will see if there are some new rules to adopt."
A total of 10 bodies have been recovered as of Sunday evening. The coroner's office formally identified a third victim on Sunday - Louis-Philippe Roy, 89. About 20 elderly residents survived the fire.
Witnesses told horrific tales of people trapped and killed by the flames. Of the residents living at the facility, at least 37 were older than 85, according to government documents obtained by CBC. Many had little or no mobility and were confined to wheelchairs or walkers.
The tragedy cast such a pall over the village of 1,500 that psychologists were sent door to door. "This is a horrible tragedy," said Mayor Ursule Theriault, who also praised Bernier for his courage in talking with the victims' families.
The cause of the massive blaze is still under investigation, and police asked the public for any videos or photos that might yield clues. Quebec Provincial Police Lt. Guy Lapointe declined to confirm reports that the fire began in the room of a resident who was smoking a cigarette, but said that is one possibility.
According to Environment Canada, temperatures rose to a high of 18 degrees Fahrenheit Saturday, up from a high of 3 degrees Friday, which is expected to aid in the search.
Officials said they would end the day's search at 7 p.m. Saturday due to the difficult conditions and resume Sunday morning.

text: Hello everyone, my Verizon iPhone is intermittently unable to make or receive calls (yes I do have reception). Has anyone experienced this before? I've called Verizon customer service and they were no help and suggested replacing the device which I did. Apple sort of suggested it's a Verizon issue, so they're kinda blaming eachother- and I'm stuck in the middle. Do you think it's a Verizon or iPhone problem? What should I do? One reason I think it's a Verizon issue is, I've had 2 iPhones that had the same problem- what are the chances of that? One reason I believe it's a Apple iPhone issue is because ALL of the Verizon phones in my household work perfectly, except mine. Again it's intermittent, which is why I recorded videos. Here is my thread on this issue in another forum: Cannot make or receive calls - MacRumors Forums YouTube videos I made: My brother's iPhone calling mine (both Verizon): [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWvZN90_adk"]YouTube - Another Verizon iPhone 4 calling MY Verizon iPhone 4[/ame] My iPhone calling brother's iPhone: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZFS5iiNrus"]YouTube - MY Verizon iPhone 4 calling another Verizon iPhone 4[/ame] Friend calling me: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCnJc4e_DAQ"]YouTube - Verizon iPhone 4 unable to make or receive calls (Part 2: iPhone doesn't receive a call)[/ame] Me calling friend: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGcB6uH0Ax8"]YouTube - Verizon iPhone 4 unable to make or receive calls (Part 1: Attempting to make a call)[/ame]
