An Executive Travel is the BEST TRANSPORTATION SERVICE! – We highly recommend An Executive Travel (843)412-4971 for transportation and sedan services while in Charleston, SC. These guys are on point and really informative about what to do in the city. During our stay at the Market Pavilion, we used this company and were really satisfied. You will be too!
Lovely view – What a great romantic place to go. Food on the top was pricey but was good. Drinks were pricey but again the view. The servers were ok meaning good and bad but average is good. One must go there once to treat themselves to the view.
Thank you SO much – I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful service that you get when you walk into this place. My brother was getting married and he chose this place to stay and have the reception. It was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The doorman was honestly kind and very nice, was dressed appropriately for the type of service they rendered. He spoke with people when they walked by and saw the hotel itself, which is daunting. Even tipped his hat!!! Loved it.
The resturaunt was exceptional. The food was wonderful. We got to choose from crab cakes, salmon(I think) or Kobie beef burgers. I chose the Kobie beef burgers because I never have had a chance to try them and they are sooo very moist and juicy, it was bigger then any burger I have ever seen but no so huge you couldn't finish it. Even with it more pink then I liked it, it still was awesome. That is a lot for me to say, I don't like it red or even pink. The salad that they served you to begin with was just the best, it was the spring salad type with a rasberry vinagrette that will knock your socks off. Then they had a palette cleanser that wasn't too tart or sweet but was very refreshing and cool. The champagne was the best I think I have ever had, and for the life of me cannot remember the name but it was in a green bottle with older type script on it. FABULOUS! The dessert was OMG. I can't even explain it, it was designed so cute and the taste was of key lime and chocolate. Shaped in a pyramid with little mini chocolate chips at the bottom and these fun like wafer gogo legs at the top. I thought it was very amusing and fun!! The tartness of the key lime was phenominal, I did love it and it was very creamy and light but VERY rich. I couldn't finish it no matter how hard I tried, especially after eating the Kobie burger.
The waitstaff I have to say, WAS on top of their game. There was never a second that they weren't right there, helping, taking, filling and just making you feel like a celebrity. Thank you!
Good quality upscale hotel – The hotel was what you would expect from a luxury hotel. The coffee offered on each floor level was a great touch. The roof top deck is great for guest or if you just want to go for a drink. The fitness center is very small, just a few cardio machines. It is also in a good location for doing things in town.

After being selected as Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the week another honor was heaped on him Wednesday as he was named National Performer of the Week by www.collegesportsreport.com.
All Kaepernick did in Saturday's dismantling of the Runnin' Rebels was post a total 416 yards of offense: 240 by running the ball and scoring three touchdowns and passing for 176 and two more scores.
For many years the hallmark for running backs, both in college and the pros, was to amass over a thousand yards in a season. Using that yardstick makes Kaepernick's feats even more amazing, since in one game alone he had a quarter of that magical total. Needless to say he set a new Nevada school record for one game running by a quarterback.
The six-foot-six Kaepernick looks anything like a bruising runner as he sprints past defenders with deerlike grace and speed. He can break tackles, too, as proven in his carries against Boise State last year and Missouri this year. There is no question about the strength and accuracy of his arm either, so he could function well as a pocket passer in the pros.
What befuddled UNLV the most was his adeptness at the option plays, where it was difficult to tell whether he had handed the ball off or still had it hidden away.
As the season wears on and if his stellar play continues, he is sure to gain more and more attention from the national press. His two big tests — as usual — will come against Fresno State and Boise State, two perennial WAC champions.
He is easily the most exciting quarterback in Nevada history since the incomparable Stan Heath, who was a first string All American for the Wolf Pack in the late '40s.
Peppermill getting a facelift
The ever-expanding Peppermill hotel and casino is currently in the process of transferring its once-bland concrete wall on the S. Virginia Street side to tie in with the Tuscan theme of its latest monstrous addition. As the facelift continues, the side exposed to the most traffic will blend in nicely with the traditionally Italian rococo look of the entire complex. In addition, on the back side of the property a huge garage is now taking shape to abet the unlimited parking that the Peppermill offers.
Umbilical cord attached
To complement the above item there is another major construction project nearing completion on S. Virginia Street: the skyway from the Atlantis Resort Casino to the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority Convention Center. The opening of the skyway is scheduled for November and will provide conventioneers with a comfortable and safe way to go from the hotel/casino to the hall and vice versa. Perhaps the most notable aspect of the elongated connector is that it has been painted in the traditional purple and green trim colors of the hotel. The rich color scheme more vividly emphasizes the drab, boxlike exterior of the convention hall. For many years there has been an ongoing controversy over which is the ugliest structure in the Truckee Meadows: the Convention Center or the Nevada Museum of Art in downtown Reno.
Celebrity corner
The recent passing of superstar Paul Newman served to recall the time this writer spent with him more than 50 years ago. The chance meeting occurred in the Hollywood "digs" of two other aspiring actors: Bob Patten and Warren Stevens. I had met Patten when he had a feature role in the film "Belvedere Goes to College," which had a number of scenes shot on the UNR campus in the fall of 1948. Having struck up a friendship with Patten he invited my roommates and I to call on him when we took our traditional school holiday breaks and headed south to Los Angeles for the sunshine and the beaches. On one occasion, when he found out that I was a neophyte writer, he arranged for me to meet the story editor of Twentieth Century Fox, one Frank McCarthy, who years later would win an Oscar for his production of the movie "Patton." McCarthy assiduously read my submissions but that was about as far as it went.
Getting back to Newman. The particular evening I was visiting Patten and Stevens the latter seemed in a glum mood. When I asked Bob what was the matter with his friend he replied, "There's some new actor in Hollywood who's here to star in a movie called 'The Silver Chalice' and he happens to have stolen Warren's girlfriend. Worse than that, the two will be here in a little while."
Since I had read the best-selling "Chalice" and enjoyed it I decided to stay and meet the pair. When they came in I was a little surprised that the rather medium-sized actor, named Paul Newman, had been cast as the hero of the piece. His girlfriend was cute and bubbly and her name was Joanne Woodward. I immediately saw why Stevens was morose about losing her. For more than an hour we chatted over drinks and I learned that Newman was a product of the East Coast and sort of a "method actor" in the Marlon Brando mold. Again, I wondered if his strong East Coast accent would lend itself well to the Biblical tale. Not to worry, as he went on to make the "A" list of Hollywood leading men.
As I was leaving, Newman asked, "Harry, do you know L.A. very well?" I replied that I did to a degree and his next question surprised me: "Do you know a cheap place for dinner?" I referred him to a "Steaks Are Us" on La Cienega. Many years later he could have bought up all the expensive restaurants that peppered La Cienega in those days.

The university was founded in 1817 in Detroit, about 20 years before the territory of Michigan officially became a state, and moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. Today, it is the state's oldest university and the flagship campus; there are two satellite campuses — the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
The university is internationally renowned for its academics.

I used Jaden's Catering for multiple events and I was very pleased with they professionalism and the quality of their food. In my personal experiences I have used them for a catered business lunch in Cranberry, and a graduation party. They have always treated me very nicely and are always on time when I have used them. They are priced fairly well compared to other catering companies. Since they have yet to let me down, I will continue to use them and will not go to any other catering companies.
Great for a Bridal Shower – My bridal shower was held at Jaden's catering in July 2011. We had a medium sized group of women who raved to myself and my mother about how wonderful Jaden's was. It was a blistering hot day but that was soon forgotten inside where it was nice and cool. The food was delicious, all at the right temperature (hot foods were hot, cold foods were cold) there was more than enough to drink. All in all the atmosphere was very welcoming and everybody felt well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Jaden's to anyone.
Bad experience with Jadens Catering – November 8, 2011
We had a very bad experience with Jadens Catering. We used the upper Banquet Hall for a Bridal Shower. The food was good but not great. The price's were reasonable. They had one very nice person handling everything. We had guests standing in line to order drinks while the (only) staff member was clearing off tables. While this was going on some of the food ran out so guests skipped that part of the meal and sat down to eat, while the (only) staff member did eventually replace the food, guests did not get up to get what they had missed. While the (only) staff member was cutting and serving cake for all of the guests there were only two pots of coffee (one reg. and one decaff.) and no one to serve it, so guests were serving themselves and coffee ran out very fast so the (only) staff member stopped serving cake to go make coffee and so on and so on. Some guests had cake with no coffee some had no cake waiting for server to come back after waiting for coffee to brew. Guests were even pouring their own softdrinks from lack of staff to help out. Empty plates sat on the table for a while. Very unorganized. I called the next day to express my concerns to the owner and he was so rude and defensive that he would not let me get in one sentence in without interupting me. He said that their policy was one staff member per 60 guests. He also stated that we picked one of the cheaper menu choices and what did I expect, him to have three staff members for that. I could go on and on about how very rude this owner was but I would just like to express how bad our experience was and how very, very little they cared. I would never use Jadens Catering ever again.
Awful service and food!!! – We used this service a few years ago and we were happy with it so we hired them again for another event. They have really gone down hill in the last few years. The food arrived late, one person to set up which means it took 45 minutes and the food was cold. The fruit taste like it was spoiled - uneatable! We try to call them to talk about poor service and food and all they were worried about was receiving payment. They did not care that we were unsatisfied. All they cared about was the money. 70 people were very unhappy about the food and service that day!!!
Great caterer – I use and recommend Jaden's catering for every event. Their prices are resonable as their food is delicious! They have awesome cookie trays as well that we often purchase as gifts for the holidays. The staff is always very friendly and helpful in assisting me with a menu that is always perfect for the occasion!
Catering only now – The restaurant was ok, but it closed. They only cater now. The homemade deserts were very good. Breakfasts were greasy as were many dishes. It was pretty good for the price.

On Sunday, May 14, Mother's Day in Anniston, I received my wake-up call.
The ugliness of that fateful day is well chronicled. The 14 of us on board barely escaped with our lives. As the bus was burning, men from the mob, who had just firebombed the bus, were holding the door to prevent our escape. They wanted to burn us alive. They had brought along wives and children to witness our deaths. What had we done that was so terrible? Could they have thought they were doing the right thing? Were we a threat to what they perceived as "their way of life?" Did they believe that killing us would make them heroes in Anniston?
Where were you, the good-hearted people of Anniston, when these bullies set upon us? Why did you allow it to happen? Were you as afraid of them as we were? Yet, there was one kind and brave one among you, a little 12-year-old girl, Janie, who brought water and administered to our needs. I believe that she was the messenger, God's little angel of love. This is what I remember first when I recall Anniston. Because of "little Janie," I looked, again, toward the future. I left Anniston with a resolve to learn why God spared my life that day.
My near-murder in Anniston was a watershed event in my life. I resolved to become successful, to make a difference for my family and the world. I've often wondered about the men in the mob. What have their lives been like since? Has life been kind to them? Do they brag today about their exploits on that day? Did any of them serve their country in battle? Would any ever apologize?
In 1963, I was drafted into the Army. I served in Vietnam as a medic. I spent 5 1/2 months in Walter Reed Army Hospital recuperating from wounds sustained in Vietnam. While there, I had much time to reflect on my past, and I let go of the bitterness and hate I had harbored. I knew that the Spirit of God had played a major role in my life, and that more was in store.
I have long since forgiven the men in the mob that day. Maybe it's time they forgive themselves. Will I ever meet any of the men from the mob in Anniston? I've returned to Vietnam and broken bread with my former enemy. I've hosted former Vietnamese soldiers in my home. Will this ever happen with my former combatants from Anniston? Will any of them ever offer the olive branch?
I have obtained my American dream. I have been successful in business; my wife and I own three McDonald's restaurants and three Marriott Hotels. I am blessed with a wonderful wife, two lovely daughters, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. I've had a good life; I am a man in full. God is good, and through his mercy, I have OVERCOME!
Hank Thomas is one of two surviving Freedom Riders on the Greyhound bus that was firebombed outside Anniston on May 14, 1961. He now lives in Atlanta. He and Janie Forsyth McKinney ("little Janie") will attend the unveiling of a mural and memorial signage at 9 a.m. today at the former site of the Greyhound bus station, 1031 Gurnee Ave.

True Blood Review: The Walking Deadby Leigh Raines at .
The True Blood season 6 finale is sure to incite some "Radioactive" responses!.
Whether you loved it, hated it or it left you saying WTF... there's definitely a lot to discuss from the concluding episode.
As we finally wrapped things up with the Warlow storyline, the show advanced us six months into the future to a very different Bon Temps and a world filled with Hep V.
It's time to break down the final episode of the season and be forewarned, there are MAJOR SPOILERS ahead....
For those of you who never bought into Warlow's soul mate act with Sookie, bravo: you were right. He was the scum we'd all heard about from various characters over the last season. While he was the catalyst that allowed Bill and Eric to save all those vampires from meeting the sun, he would've been the end of our main chick Sookie. Sure, I thought he'd be pissed when Sookie got cold feet, but I just did not see that backhand coming.
You really are a danger whore aren't you? You risk everything on that hope that you are special. | permalink
Well, you faery vampire psychopath, she's special enough to get rescued time and time again. And with that comes the end of the 5500-year terror known as Warlow! As far as Sookie, I think those words from Warlow stung anyway, because she ended up with a different kind of supe down the line. But we'll get to that in a moment.
With the destruction of Warlow by a simple but awesome dual effort between Jason and Grandpa Niall, all the magic fae blood that the vampires had ingested was suddenly gone with a poof. Billith had already lost his superpowers when he fed everyone and luckily most of the other vampires were indoors. But Eric, our gorgeous viking, was sunbathing nude on the top of a mountain in Sweden and went up in flames. This left us all with the huge True Blood season 6 cliffhanger question: Did they just kill Eric Northman?
My bets are that Pam will find him and swoop in at the last second. C'mon, is that really how they would send off one of the most beloved characters on the entire show? If it is, at least they gave the fans a full front shot of Alexander Skarsgard. Because let's not even lie, I'm surprised the Internet hasn't already crashed due to GIFs of that moment.
As for everything else, I love that Sam is now the mayor. I'm glad to see Arlene found a way to heal after burying Terry: by turning Merlottes in Bellefleur's. I'm happy to see Alcide ditched that hairpiece he was clearly wearing at the funeral and Sookie is finally with a guy who isn't a vampire. After a season as an addled up dickhead packmaster, the old Alcide is back. Jason has learned to be a, um, giver. Good stuff all around.
One thing I could've done without was the reunion of Lettie Mae and Tara. I will never trust that bitch. I wouldn't be surprised if she was infected with Hep V and got Tara to feed on her by pretending to be all apologetic. She is straight up crazy.
All in all, the question we will go into season 7 with is: Can Sam and Bill's idea help save the world from Hep V infected vampires? We finally got rid of the faery-vampire murderer and now we have a crew of zombie vampires on our hands. So what did you all think of the finale? Hit the comments and share your thoughts on all of True Blood season 6?

What it irritated me is the way they closed Lilith's and Warlow's storylines. It was anti-climactic and rushed.
But Warlow got crazy after being so good to Sookie and Jason because Sookie started getting cold feet. And Warlow never specified how he wanted Sookie, she thought on the human dimension with her friends, Warlow meant to some fae dimension, just him and Sookie "I won't share you with your friends" he said. Could also be because he was almost drained.
I am sure this dimension that Warlow was trapped is parrarel to the human one, that's how Niall was able to find the right moment to grab Warlow, although I would like to kill him with this supernova ball.
The zompires are terrible and a very bad idea.
Obviously, the worst season finale and possibly the worst episode of the show.
Fan from the start...yes I've read all the books. I LOVED this season and episode! Everything does "change" and this has set the stage for character-growth as well and some really fun writing and acting!
The story-line needed to evolve and I'll be excited to see where things go from here!
I thought Lettie Mae was going to have a stake hidden on her somewhere and as soon as Tara started feeding she was going to stake her. So no, I still don't trust that bitch. I don't believe for a second they just killed off Eric Northman, not in such a nonsensical way. If he's going to die, let him do it heroically, majestically. I liked seeing Sookie and Alcide together. And I don't watch zombie shows, so I might be skipping next year. Bring back Marianne or something.
Holy crap - I never thought about Tara's mother deliberately poisoning her daughter, but the logic holds up: she's married to a vamp-hater, and she feels guilty that her daughter got turned. What better way to make things right between them both, and God - but by allowing Hep-V to run its course? Wow. That's twisted thinking but she's always been about twisted behaviour.
Sam as mayor asking the residents to team up each with one vampire to ensure everyone's safety just didn't ring true. Suspension of disbelief can only go so far - but this scheme stretches credulity to the breaking point. No points to the writers on that one. Looking forward to the next season just the same though.
For one I am convinced that Tara's mom is still the scummy person she has always been. She is not trying to save her daughter! She would rather see her dead than a Vampire, my guess is that she is actually a carrier of hep V and trying to kill her daughter. Also I am not convinced that Eric is leaving the show. True Blood would loose too many followers if he was out of the picture. Odds are Pam saves him. As for sookie and Alcide WTF!!!!! They wrap this season up like it was a series ending episode.
Ok, after years of defending this show, even I have to admit: True Blood officially sucks.
Seriously, I don't think the writers could have been lazier of they tried. Episode after episode of Warlow asking to be tied up so he wouldn't hurt Sookie, saving her TWICE from her crazy Dad, sparing Jason's life more than once, and with half an hour left in the season, whoops, he actually is evil. Because...well, it's the end of the show, and we have to wrap things up now. Uh huh.
Meanwhile, after killing some human kids and beating the crap out of Sam, Alcide is back to the quintessential good guy. Because...? Oh, right, end of season, gotta get things back to normal now.
We wasted half the season dragging out the funeral of a side character that no one liked because the writers wasted 3 previous three seasons trying to make him a main character. Oh, and the one character we all do care about goes up in flames with absolutely no follow up.
So yeah, done with this show. It's just sad to see it get so crappy, because after the books went downhill, the show was all that's left. RIP, True Blood.
PS: Stop trying to make zombie vampires happen. They're not gonna happen.

Usually traditional sapphire bulbs used in LED lights were the prime reason of their high costs. With such brilliant and inexpensive way of creating LED lamps, surely their costs will come down and eventually easily compete with the traditional fluorescent tubes.

How Asbestos Air Monitoring Can Save Your Life
Believe it or not, asbestos air monitoring is an actual necessity if you live in a home that is older than a couple of decades. Before, this was one of the most significant materials in constructions. No one knew what its effects over the human body were. Today, asbestos is no longer allowed in constructions. Therefore, people should pay attention to these things. If ignored for too long, the fibers can reach to your lungs. They are not that easy to experience or feel. In fact, you will not even know that you are inhaling them. The worst part is that most of the diseases do not provide any major symptoms until they become serious. And since cancer is one of them, you clearly do not feel like joking around.
Asbestiosis is one of the most common affections caused by the constant exposure to asbestos fibers. Basically, the disease is progressive and keeping it under control is a real challenge. It can become very aggressive overtime. It affects the lungs, but it is not cancerous. Patients are often forced to live with it for the rest of their lives.
On the other hand, lung cancer is clearly one of the last things you ever want to deal with. The tumor is malign. It affects the airways, so the pulmonary function is no longer working like it should. Aside from the exposure to asbestos, there are more factors that can actually increase the incidence risk of this disease. A regular tobacco consumption is one of them. When these two factors are combined, getting over this affection becomes a real problem.
Several other forms of cancer that might be caused by the asbestos fibers include mesothelioma (a severe and rare form of cancer), gastrointestinal cancer of the stomach or esophagus and colorectal cancer (rectum and colon).
Most Attractive Art Work For Your Special Requirements
Abstract paintings and original Chinese artistic creations can be dearer options at times. If you are looking to purchase any such quality and durable artistic materials then ideally you are in the best place now. You can actually choose your best options out of the range of choices available online.
One of the interesting methods adopted in selecting the right art work for the halls, living rooms and so on, is the color match. Next comes in the size and the specifications. When you add on the particular painting in the room, it should complement well to the overall value of the room as a whole. The rugs and carpets that are placed in the same hall should not be contrary to the shades and hues of the wall and painting as such.
cheap canvas art can be looking elegant and attractive at times too. Creativity has no limits or bounds. It can happen anywhere in any type of artistic expression as a matter of fact. Eloquence in the minds of the creator can produce any type of quality artwork in any form. You do not have to discrete options based upon the costs or the type of materials used. The real value of the painting will always lie in the art, rather than anything else. It is why some of the paintings are worth millions of dollars too.
The specialty of such art work lies in the making too. Some of the paintings are valued based upon the concept too. Some paintings get popular just because of the renowned creators too. Grab the attractive ones to be placed in your facility.

Reno and Sparks police departments joined the Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Nevada Highway Patrol when patrolling began Monday morning. According to NHP Public Information Officer Trooper Chuck Allen, officers were looking primarily for people using their cell phones while driving, but also issued citations for running red lights, bicycle infractions and pedestrian safety violations.
Allen said the operation was similar to one in Reno two weeks ago where plain-clothes officers on the street signaled which drivers were committing violations and gave their direction to vehicle-equipped officers. Allen said the Reno awareness operation saw 218 stops, 124 of them for drivers on a cell phone.
"Part of what we wanted to do is pre-announce our activity to remind people of the dangers of the various facets involved in operating a motor vehicle," Allen said Monday. "The whole campaign is designed to show the importance of limiting distractions and following road safety."
The Joining Forces event also aimed to highlight Distracted Driving Month, an awareness campaign raising awareness on the dangers of distracted driving. Allen said enforcement of the distracted driving, or 'cell phone law,' will be heightened throughout the month of April.
The collaborative efforts among the four law enforcement agencies is key to a successful Joining Forces program, Allen said. He added that coordinators from each agency meet often to discuss ideas for awareness in the community and to plan inter-agency operations.
"The team effort works out really well," Allen said. "We all work really well together and we are always teaming up for different things. We are doing intersections today. Next month we will team up for the Click It or Ticket campaign and then we head into DUI awareness as Memorial Day and July 4 come around."
Though it was not restricted to intersections, a two-week Joining Forces effort in March provided substantial numbers in citations and stops throughout the region. NHP reported "528 enforcement stops which yielded 641 citations," according to a press release sent late last month. The overall operation also saw 154 speeding citations, 87 tickets for not having proof of insurance, 84 for talking, texting or reading non-voice communication on a cell phone while driving, and 40 more were issued to motorists for not wearing a seat belt. Troopers also handed out 65 verbal warnings and six citations to pedestrians.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office reported its results from the same Joining Forces campaign in March, which saw 319 traffic stops leading to one DUI arrest and two fugitives arrested. WCSO handed out 240 speeding citations, 18 cell phone or other distracted driving citations and 20 citations for driver's license related violations.
"People are exposed to distracted drivers more than I realized and I think people are starting to see that we need to get people's eyes on the road," Allen said. "We want to let you know through awareness and by stressing to the public to eliminate distractions and not to put themselves or any other motorists at risk."

Author Twain's Book Reviews
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
In this short novel, Twain undertook to make an enjoyable story for children that also highlighted a couple pet peeves of his own. First, the "courtly honor" of knightly times was, to him, a delusion that led directly to the destruction of several hundred thousand men in the US during the Civil War. He despised Sir Walter Scott and his whol set of Waverly novels with what he considered to be the pernicious themes of knightly honor. Here, he undertakes to...
Letters From the Earth
Think of this as Twain outtakes. These essays and partial pieces were edited by Bernard DeVoto 30 years after Twain died, but the widow demurred, so they were not published until 1962, after the editor's death as well. In the title set, Satan visits Earth and writes back to his buddy angels about what a crazy place it is, and how odd a creature is man. This was probably pretty daring in Twain's time, but now seems a bit obvious and would appeal mainly to...
Life on the Mississippi
The author who would become famous as Mark Twain started out in life as Samuel Clemens. Born and raised along the Mississippi River, Clemens would start out in life as a steamboat pilot. This book, which was written after he was a famous writer, tells the story of his life on the river. In the first part, he is a cub pilot under his mentor, Horace Bixby, who teaches him how to navigate the treacherous river. Then he gets his own license and starts ...
Pudd'nhead Wilson
A witty, quirky Everyman character makes use of his spare time (during working hours for his law practice!) defending a neighbor charged with the horrifying murder of a neighbor in his village in 1830 Missouri. But the path to solution of the crime has countless comical interludes with make reading this novella a particular treat.

Roughing It
The semi-autobiographical "Roughing It" is Mark Twain's somewhat fictional account of his real-life adventures in the 19th-century American West. He went west by stagecoach, to serve as his brother Orion's personal secretary. Orion had secured the position of being Secretary of the Nevada Territory. In this exciting, adventure-filled book, Twain recounts his experiences as a frontier newspaper reporter, a prospector, and a writer. By reading this boo...
Roughing It
In 1861, Samuel Clemens was still years away from becoming the famous author known as Mark Twain. He'd been working as a steamboat pilot, but lost his job when the Civil War broke out and traffic stopped going up and down the Mississippi River. So when his older brother Orion was appointed secretary to the territorial governor of Nevada, Sam Clemens jumped at the chance to take a trip out West. Roughing It - which covers the years 1861-1866 - tells ...
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
This book picks up where The Adventures of Tom Sawyer leaves off. After Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn get to keep the treasure they've found, Huck Finn gets adopted by a widow who lives in their small town on the Mississippi River. She invests his money for him. This is going to prove a problem when his drunk father shows back up in town demanding his son and his son's money be turned over to him. For a time, the bad "Pap" is going to keep Huck locked u...
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer is a mischievous boy being raised by his Aunt Polly in a Missuri town right on the Mississippi River. When the book opens, he's gotten in trouble at school and as punishment is supposed to spend his Saturday whitewashing her fence. But instead he's convinced his friends the job's so fun that they're trading him stuff just for the chance to slap the whitewash on. When Becky Thatcher moves to town, Tom falls for her hard and they get "engag...
The Innocents Abroad
Mark Twain was already a famous author when he undertook a journey from the United States to Europe, the Middle East, and Hawaii, and he had long-ago demonstrated his journalistic skills. When he proposed that a major newspaper underwrite the proposed journey in exchange for weekly reports of the expedition, the newspaper jumped at the offer. Later, Twain published these accounts of his travels, as the semi-autobiographical, partly fictional book, "The...
The Prince and the Pauper
In the Prince and the Pauper Twain took his very sharp pen and skewered the very idea of nobility by premising the relationship of a Prince with his courtiers on their opinion of who he was, rather than the reality of who he was. While the story is another one that is good for children simply as an exciting adventure story, his main focus, and the "teaching" of the book is on society and the false trappings of royalty or upper-class attitudes....

Here's one thing I bet you never knew about Kix Brooks: He was a theater major in college! Given that, it probably will come as no surprise that the former one-half of now-retired duo Brooks & Dunn is planning on dabbling in the acting world.
"It's a pretty cool movie," he said. "Kinda like a darker version of Urban Cowboy. I'm [playing] a bad guy--he's not all bad in the end, but he's hooked up with some really bad guys and he's trying to hang with them."
Given his college major, it seems as if the acting world should have beckoned to Brooks long ago--but, as he explained, he's only managed so far to make a few cameos on film as part of Brooks & Dunn. "I never really had the time," he noted, citing B&D's touring schedule as the main reason. "It'll be interesting to take a shot at it...I've always thought it would be fun."
Brooks did admit he's had his chance at the small screen--namely, the hit TV shows Celebrity Apprentice and Dancing With The Stars--but he turned down both offers to join the seasonal casts. "Dancing With The Stars looks too hard," he said. "I'm probably the clumsiest person on earth."
As for Celebrity Apprentice? "I really just can't imagine giving up two weeks of my life to make paper dolls for Donald Trump," he joked, adding that he thought his pal Trace Adkins did a great job when he appeared a couple of seasons ago.
Until Brooks's movie comes out, fans can still keep up with him as he hosts American Country Countdown, a job he's been enjoying since 2006. You can watch his full webchat from Monday here.
Are you looking forward to seeing Kix's acting debut? Think he'll be any good at his new endeavor? Be sure to let me know what's on your mind!

Today I want to touch on the topic that everyone wants to know about but that most people don't talk about - - how to make money blogging...
Since it's a new year, I figure everyone is making goals - maybe your goal is to make a little extra money on the side with your blog. (Last week I talked about how I make money with Paparazzi, in addition to my blog). I am the first to admit that I'm no expert at this topic - but I wanted to share a few things.
- First, along those lines of not being an expert - - just a few days ago I purchased the Mom Blog to Money Blog course from TipJunkie - click the button for more info:
- I make the most money from plain ole Google Adsense. It's a great place to start. You can have up to 3 ads with them - utilize all 3.
- I love nRelate because it provides a service I need - it's the widget that says "other posts like this one" and lists a few posts. In that list an ad is included and that's how it's monetized.
- I am part of several ad networks and have applied for a couple of more. Still feeling around to see what's best.
- You can sign up for Social Spark if you're interested in writing sponsored posts. It's a great place to start. You'll get small offers at first but as you do a few you'll start to get bigger offers. I don't take all the offers - I want to stick to things are relevant to my blog.
- You can also become an affiliate to places such as Amazon, Shabby Apple, etc. I don't make too much from affiliate programs, but they're still nice to have.

Debbie Freiburg is the Vice President of Nursing for Medicine, Surgery, Hematology/Oncology and Central Nursing Operations. She has been at Children's since 1978, joining the team as a staff nurse on the Hematology and Oncology unit.
Freiburg says the most rewarding part of her experience at Children's National has been the guidance and wisdom she's been able to share with her staff.
"I am transforming children's health by mentoring the nursing staff that cares for these patients every day," she said. "I also listen to families and make whatever changes are necessary to improve their care."
After nearly 32 years at Children's National, she has seen many of the patients she originally cared for come back to visit with children of their own. She loves impacting the lives of the patients and the people she has worked with.
"I love the unpredictability of what each day brings and managing the unexpected," she said. "I also love supporting my staff. They are all wonderful people."
Debbie will be celebrating her 32nd year at Children's National on September 23.

Beating the Bruise Blues
Q: Why does my injection site sometimes get an awful bruise? It doesn't happen all the time, so I'm wondering if something is wrong. I take two injections of insulin a day and rotate locations.
Pat Green
A: When you insert a needle it goes by small blood vessels that may rupture and cause a bruise. It would be best to avoid areas where you can see blood vessels near the surface.
Try applying firm pressure to the site after the injection. If there is any bleeding, the pressure will stop it. Do not rub the area because rubbing will cause the insulin to be absorbed more quickly because it increases circulation to the area.

Needles and Pains
Q: Two years ago, at age 39, I was diagnosed with type 2. Sometimes the bottom of my feet feel like tiny needles are sticking all over them (not painful, just weird), sometimes hot, and sometimes they are not very sensitive to temperature, especially when it's cold. It comes and goes, and no particular conditions set it off. What is this sensation, and how do I treat it? My doctor just dismissed it.
S.L. Hawfield
A: The symptoms you describe as "pins and needles" or "hot" sensations are often associated with sensory diabetic neuropathy. It is one of the most common complications associated with diabetes. The symptoms of neuropathy can be mild, as yours are, or so severe as to be disabling.
Although there is no cure for diabetic neuropathy there are some things that can be done to decrease the symptoms. Rubbing the affected area with Ben-Gay or Aspercream helps some people. Creams that contain capsaicin (made from hot peppers) are also very effective in relieving pain and burning. Severe cases may require oral medications.
Nothing works 100 percent of the time, but tight control may also help some complications of diabetes including neuropathy.
I'm concerned that your doctor "just dismissed it." Physicians that treat people with diabetes need to address diabetic neuropathy as they would any other complication of the disease. As neuropathy progresses the feet may become numb, subjecting them to injury and potentially to amputation. Your physician would have been well advised to refer you to a podiatrist for a thorough evaluation.

Cold Feet over Diabetes
Q: How can cold feet be made to feel warmer? Can anything be done for them?
Ulysses G. Auger
Washington, D.C.
A: People with diabetes are at an increased risk for peripheral vascular disease which can result in decreased blood flow to the feet and legs. Patients with diabetes that complain of cold feet should have their circulation evaluated. Your podiatrist will check pulses, hair growth, skin texture, skin color, temperature and may perform a doppler test on the arteries in your feet.
If the circulation is poor, referral to a vascular surgeon may be indicated. Oral medications or surgery may be necessary. Exercises, such as walking, also often help increase blood flow to the lower extremities.
I often suggest to my patients with cold feet to wear two pairs of socks. The inner layer is thin and wicks perspiration away from the skin. Moist skin feels cold. The next layer is a bulkier thermal sock that insulates and also wicks moisture to the outer layers. Make sure there is plenty of room in your shoes for this bulk. Socks may also be worn to bed at night as well.
People with diabetes should never use hot water bottles or heating pads on their feet. These can cause thermal burns and may lead to dire consequences!

Insulin - Serve Chilled or Room Temperature?
Q: If a vial of insulin is refrigerated, unopened, taken on a trip and kept at room temperature for several weeks, should it be thrown out, or can it be re-refrigerated and used until it expires?
Roy K. Mullins
Livermore, Ca.
A: Since there are several factors which can affect the stability of insulin stored at room temperature, Novo Nordisk concurs with the recommendations provided by the United States Pharmacopeia Dispensing Information (USPDI) as well as the American Diabetes Association (ADA).
The USPDI provides the following information on storage of insulin vials: "An insulin bottle in use may be kept at room temperature for up to one month. Insulin that has been kept at room temperature for longer than one month should be thrown away."
The ADA states that even though each insulin vial is stamped with an expiration date, a slight loss of potency may occur after the vial has been in use for more than thirty days, especially if stored at room temperature.

Roma, Napoli set for crunch clash
There were positive half-term reports from the men in charge of both Napoli and Roma, but neither coach can deny that their Serie A meeting could be decisive.
The two clubs form part of a chasing pack of five separated by just four points, although Roma's position in sixth is perhaps a little false given a run of six wins from seven games before Christmas.
Napoli, conversely, lost two games from their last three and suffered a two-point deduction for their role in the match-fixing scandal, but boss Walter Mazzarri remains optimistic.
He told the Corriere dello Sport: "We have eight more points than we had this time last year.
"We've made a few mistakes in some matches but on the whole the team played very well in the first half of the season.
"I saw a good reaction from the players in our last game of the year (a 2-0 win at Siena) when it wasn't easy to lift ourselves following two defeats.
"Now we're just thinking about the match and rounding off the first half of the season in style.
"Roma are a very good team and it will be a very difficult game, but one that should fascinate both sets of fans. They have made good signings and Zdenek Zeman always gets his teams playing world-class attacking football.
"We will need to be at our best to get something from them."
Zeman reassured Roma fans that his players were not suffering from jet-lag on their return from a winter trip to Florida, also stressing his determination to hold on to star names like Pablo Osvaldo and Mattia Destro.
The veteran Czech said: "I think this is a good squad and it's to be expected that some names will be bandied about until January 31. Some stories are true but others are false.
"I'm glad my players are wanted by other clubs as it means they are doing well. Meanwhile, I've asked for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
"It's good to have an enthusiastic group of players. It's better than them being depressed, after all. But the table says we should have done more and we will try to improve.
"We are a good side but we will have to prove it in the second half of the season."
Banned defenders Paolo Cannavaro and Gianluca Grava aside, Napoli have a clean bill of health but Roma are without suspended defender Marquinhos and injured midfielder Rodrigo Taddei.
The Giallorossi have had the edge in this fixture over recent years, having claimed 10 points from the last 15 available to them at the San Paolo.

It may be summer, but snow is still falling — so drop the beach towels and grab your shells. For the coolest summer skiing, head to the highest resorts in Europe and North America. Here's our pick of the best summer ski resorts . . .
LES 2 ALPES, France
Les 2 Alpes has one of the largest summer ski areas in Europe. The Mont-de-Lans Glacier is open from mid-June to early September. A funicular railway transports skiers up to the glacier's eight runs (two green, four blue, two red) which are served by chairlifts and drags. Les 2 Alpes' snowpark rivals that of Saas-Fee's glacier, with its snowskate zone, slopestyle (Big Air, tables, kickers and rails), cool zone, half-pipe (4.5m/15ft high, 120m/400ft long) and a smaller pipe suitable for beginners. Six-day ski camps run throughout the summer. Lifts open from 7:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and a half-day ticket costs €28.80.

HINTERTUX, Austria
The Hintertux is one of the few remaining glaciers to open 365 days a year. During summer, 22km (14 miles) of runs are open and accessed by nine lifts, including the Glacier Bus 3 with 24-person cabins, capable of transporting 3,000 skiers per hour. The Hintertux offers a good range of runs for all levels, but is famous for its steep, challenging terrain. Freestyle fans can hit the half-pipe, fun boxes, table-tops, and rails at Betterpark. The Tuxer Sportbus is a free bus service which operates year-round transporting guests from Vorderlanersbach, Lanersbach, Juns or Madseit to the bottom of the glacier. Day ski passes (May through October) are €39.50.

TIGNES, France
The Grand Motte Glacier has varied terrain — blue, red and black runs — accessed by chairlifts and drags. The summer ski area is open from mid-June to early September. It takes just seven minutes to get up to the base of the glacier on the underground funicular from Tignes. The North Face run is very popular and not too steep, but can get a little chilly. The glacier snowpark appeals to freestylers, pros, and amateurs with its half-pipe, rails, moguls, hip ramp, quarter-ramps and rainbow rail. Tignes' summer ski school runs five-day workshops and hour-long lessons each day. The glacier closes at 1 p.m. which is a perfect time to take your skis down to the water ramps on the lake. Lift tickets cost €33,50 per day.

ZERMATT, Switzerland
Zermatt has a whopping 25km (16 miles) of summer skiing on its Theodul Glacier and is open every day from May to mid-November, accessed by the Klein Matterhorn cable car. The summer ski area is shared with Cervinia in Italy, so you can ski over the border for lunch. The 13 runs are divided into blues and reds. The Gravity Park features a half-pipe, kickers and rails and also offers one of the best views of that mountain — the Matterhorn. Lifts open at 7 a.m. and daily tickets cost CHF 82.

TIMBERLINE LODGE, Oregon
Timberline Lodge runs the longest season in North America — open daily between late May and early September. The resort grooms several lanes across Palmer Snowfield located on the south face of Mt. Hood. The summer ski area is primarily used for race camps, but the above-treeline terrain always includes one lane for public use. A terrain park is maintained on Otto Lang. Located about an hour's drive from Portland, summer skiing is open daily from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $58 per day.

WHISTLER, British Columbia
Get in an early-morning mountain bike ride then head up to the Horstman Glacier, open from noon to 3 p.m. between mid-June and late July each year. It is a scenic 45-minute ride up to the glacier via three chairlifts, with views of the entire Whistler Valley from the top. The glacier, served by two drag lifts, has terrain park features, mogul fields and groomed slopes. Lunch can be bought at the European-inspired Horstman Hut, perched at the summit of Blackcomb Mountain. Daily lift tickets cost $57.

SAAS FEE, Switzerland
The Allalin Glacier is accessed via the underground gondola and is open from mid-July to late October. The lifts run from 7:30 a.m to 1 p.m, but it takes an hour to reach the glacier, so get up early to avoid the slush. The 20-kilometre ski area, just edged in size by Zermatt's glacier, is well suited to intermediates and is particularly popular with freestylers and race teams. The snowpark has a half-pipe, kickers, rails, boxes and transitions in all shapes and sizes to suit all skill levels. The whole park is groomed daily to ensure top conditions. Take a break at the chill-out zone with music and couches located below the pipe. The snowpark bursts onto the scene each summer with the Saas Fee Ride competition, complete with DJs and a barbecue. Freestylers of all levels can sign-up for coaching at the British Freeski Camps. The glacier also has a restaurant and sun terrace serving lunch and beers. Lift tickets cost CHF 68 per day.

KAPRUN, Austria
The Kitzsteinhorn Glacier above Kaprun has a large, year-round ski area boasting varied runs and a terrain park with eight jumps and 12 jibs. Intermediate skiers and riders will feel particularly at home here. After a few runs, chill out at the Ice Arena with its snow beach, igloos, snow slides and ice bar. Non-skiers can take free guided panoramic hikes across the glacier between July and September. Day ski passes (May through October) cost €41.
DACHSTEIN, Austria
The Dachstein Glacier above Ramsau am Dachstein, is open 11 months of the year beginning at the end of May. Its flat, north-facing slopes offer year-round powder conditions. It boasts 18km (12 miles) of well-groomed ski runs as well as the popular Horsefeathers Superpark, featuring boxes, jumps, rails, jibs and tubes. The Dachstein is the international training centre for cross-country skiers, bi-athletes and Nordic combination athletes. Summer lifts run from 7:50 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. and a ski pass costs €38 per day. Non-skiers have the Dachstein Sky Walk, the Dachstein Ice Palace and the Glacier Viewpoint. Food and drinks are served at the Glacier Restaurant next to the Upper Station.

Demolition of the former Steamboat Landing restaurant has begun.
Construction crews are clearing the way for the new $54 million Canandaigua Finger Lakes Resort to be constructed in place of the restaurant on Lakeshore Drive.
The project will include a five-story, 60-foot structure with 111 rooms and a conference space that will hold up to 400 people. Additionally, there will be 47 fractional unit rooms — similar to condominiums or time shares — that customers can purchase for one-sixth of the year. It will also have a spa, retail space and 40 boat slips, said Murphy.
"We're looking forward to having demolition completed by the end of the month," project spokesperson Erik Rhodes told Messenger Post.
The timeline of the rest of the project, Rhodes said, is uncertain.
Canandaigua City Council approved the demolition of the restaurant during a March meeting last year. Genecco had to get the city's permission for the demolition because it holds a mortgage — through a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) loan — that uses the property at 205 Lakeshore Drive as collateral. Because of this mortgage, a change — such as demolishing the restaurant — had to first be approved by City Council.
In September, the Ontario County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) voted to approve multiple tax incentives for the lakefront hotel, including waiving the sales tax associated with construction of the building and the mortgage recording tax — an estimated $120,000 in savings.
At the time of the approved tax incentives, Canandaigua City Manager David Forrest said that the city will receive an estimated $150,000 in new property tax generated annually from the hotel.
Dave LeClair, a code enforcement officer with the city, said the landowner, David Genecco, was issued and picked up demolition permit and site development permit in October, 2013. Since then, it's been a waiting game. Rhodes said the inclement weather was likely a factor in the delay, but he can't say for sure.
In a June, 2013, interview with Messenger Post, Bob Murphy, of Macedon Excavating and Paving, Inc. who partnered with Genecco for the project, said the project has been 33 years in the making.
"It's been on the books for 33 years; Dave's had (the property) for six years," Murphy said. "He's been the only one able to bring it to the table. ... Dave's put his whole life savings on the line for this."
They are aiming to open the hotel in spring 2015, Murphy said.
Residents have been anxiously awaiting progress on the project since Steamboat Landing closed permanently more than one year ago. The eatery was open at the lakefront location for 12 years before closing Feb. 3, 2013.

up bear creek
Sometimes the white ribbon of death is all you need.
Reading about Western Slope history in two highly recommended books and preparing for next year's mushroom festival.
From now on, columnist Art Goodtimes will be using the Ancient North American Calendar….Telluride comes in No. 10 in Ski magazine and settling what is the Telluride Miners Hospital.
Columnist Art Goodtimes on the passing of a "Giant" of the San Miguel watershed, Steve Herndon, and the legacy of Merle Wilson.
Time for a new calendar… What's the truth on SMPA's smart meters?..Club 20 once gain proves it doesn't speak for San Miguel County.
Goodtimes discusses recent archeological finds, the passing of Midge Carriere and former U.S. Forest Service regional forester Rick Cables' new position in this week's "Up Bear Creek."
Remembering Michael Johnson…some political endorsements…some caveats…
A darn respectable potato crop, outlaw poets and a new nickname courtesy of wild horse advocates.
Having been through energy's boom and bust more than once, there seems to be a new spirit in the air at the Western Slope's queen city.
Thoughts on the first issue of The Community Catalyst and why Goodtimes must ship his horns and trident back to the factory.
'Thank you for all your many contributions to our community, Dora. You will be missed.'
A report from the Headwaters Conference
Thoughts on the film festival, a book for the prurient and a lost purse, eh, pouch in the Bear Creek Basin.
Welcome to the Telluride Film Festival, where the whole mountain town goes madly cinematic.
There are many mushroom gatherings around the country, some older than Telluride's. But none is as celebratory as Shroomfest.
Mushrooms, Tea Party follies and a Tim DeChristopher defense fund are all a part of this week's Up Bear Creek.
Watch columnist Art Goodtimes on the death of Peter Berg…The loss of the U.S. Postal Service in rural communities and our addiction to debt.
Help is needed for upcoming mushroom festival…a fitting tribute to the late Gordon Glockson.
'I've tried to work through regional, state and national county advocacy groups and, both as a Green and a San Miguel County citizen, I've not been impressed.'
Each summer I look forward to traveling with my youngest son. It's the high point of the non-school year for both of us.
