With the growing popularity of riding ATVs, some Oklahoma 4-H'ers are using their creativity to make sure everyone rides safely.
And for a select few, their creativity garnered some national attention.
Jacob Sestak, a 4-H'er in Lincoln County, was named the national winner of the Do the Ride Thing video contest, sponsored by the ATV Safety Institute, Motorcycle Safety Foundation and the Right Rider Access Fund. He developed a short public service announcement video to promote safe and responsible ATV riding. He was awarded the $2,500 grand prize. Elizabeth Klumpp, an Oklahoma County 4-H'er from Edmond, placed first in the 11-14 year old category and was awarded a $500 prize. In addition, 4-H'er Ryan Dillow, also of Edmond, placed third in the same age group and won $200.
"I really like to ride ATVs. It's something I've grown up with and enjoy," said the 15-year-old Sestak, who is from Prague. "It was my dad who got me interested in riding them."
Sestak's father, Ross Sestak, took the certification course to become a certified instructor for the ATV project in the Oklahoma 4-H Program. Ross Sestak is the Extension educator for the Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension office in Lincoln County.
"While my dad was becoming certified we learned there were things we had been doing wrong that we didn't even know about, so that inspired me to get involved in the program to make myself more safe when riding the ATVs," Jacob Sestak said. "This is something we really need to push because so many people don't realize all of the safety aspects associated with ATVs. Before my dad was certified we thought we knew what we were doing, but after going through the certification we learned we didn't have a clue."
Sestak said he hopes the people who see his video will realize the importance of riding safely and that the ATV Safety Institute's hands-on ATV RiderCourse is important for anyone who plans to ride an ATV.
Fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Klumpp has very close ties to the ATV safety program. Her father, Mike Klumpp, is the ATV Safety Coordinator for the OSU Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development Program.
"It's important for anyone riding an ATV to learn how to do it safely. If they don't know the safety rules, they're going to get hurt," Elizabeth Klumpp said. "Going through this course is a safeguard for kids."
She said she enjoyed working on her 30-second PSA video and believes people who see it will get more out of it than if they were simply handed a pamphlet with safety information.
"Watching this video is more fun than reading about ATV safety," she said. "It's important for kids to learn all aspects of safe riding, not only for handling the machine, but also the safety gear that's required. If you're not wearing the right gear, you're going to get hurt if you come off the ATV."
She said the training she has received paid off when she was riding in the pasture and took a corner a little too fast.
"The wheels started to come off the ground, but I remembered what I was taught in the RiderCourse. I shifted my weight to the inside of the turn and the wheels went back down. My training definitely came in handy that day," she said.
Mike Klumpp said interest in the ATV Safety Institute's ATV RiderCourse offered through the OSU Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development Program continues to grow.
"We've been teaching ATV safety for several years in 4-H. We've got a number of trained instructors across the state who can teach the hands-on curriculum," Mike Klumpp said. "Our main goal with the hands-on course, the classroom course, as well as the online course that's available, is to provide safety education and injury prevention information and teach the participants critical thinking skills."
Currently more than 6,000 students have gone through the two-hour classroom course, and nearly 500 youth have completed the five-hour hands-on RiderCourse. The new safety online course, offered through ASI, was completed by nearly 1,000 students in 2013. The online course can be found at www.atvsafety.org.
"I think the young people and adults who have completed these safety courses have a better understanding of what it takes to ride an ATV safely. It will take a while before the program shows a lot of results, but we have our long-range goals in place," he said. "We already have trainings scheduled this spring for more adults to become licensed instructors."
For more information about the ATV safety program, contact Mike Klumpp at email@example.com or 405-657-7444.

HIGH SCHOOL GOLF: Torrington Red Raiders show improvement (With video)
GOSHEN >> Torrington High School's golf team dipped to defending NVL champion Watertown 156-173 amidst a string of otherwise good news Tuesday afternoon at the Torrington Country Club.
"It's a growing year for us," said Torrington coach Joe Minutillo. "We have a young team. We've been strong so long, it was due to happen."
The Raiders are 2-3 so far, to Watertown's 4-1. The Indians' only loss is to league-leading Holy Cross.
Watertown starts four seniors and a freshman; Torrington has just two seniors, captains Ben McKenna and Seth Thompson.
The first bit of good news was the weather.
"Our guys have all been playing in the low to mid 40's (for nine-hole matches), but we've had no scores in the 30's the way we usually do," said Minutillo. "Maybe it's the wind and the cold they've been playing in. There are no excuses today."
Sure enough, Thompson came in with a 39 with McKenna right behind him at 40.
Both seniors held their own with their Indian counterparts at No. 1 and No. 2, each trailing by a single shot.
No. 1 McKenna and No. 2 Thompson, moving up from No. 3 and No. 4 last year, are a huge part of the good news for Torrington.
"We knew we had the opportunity to go all the way last year," said McKenna. "Coming in this year, we knew it would be about helping the young kids."
Some of the help comes from their example as playing partners/best friends.
"Seth had a bogey on seven today. I helped him through that, then he helped me on No. 8 after a bad chip shot," said McKenna.
The support works for them and the entire team.
Watertown's No. 1, Ed Hill, heading for a playing spot next year with Division I Central Connecticut State University, birdied one of the toughest holes on the course early in the round.
Nevertheless, McKenna led the foursome of No. 1 and No. 2 players by a stroke until he ran into trouble with his approaches to the seventh and eighth greens.
Thompson vied for the lead until the final hole. Watertown co-medalist (along with Watertown freshman Mike Buckley) Derek Bizier birdied the hole; Thompson got a bogey.
By that final hole, McKenna regrouped for a two-putt from 30 feet that Bizier declared "the best two-putt I've ever seen."
McKenna's and Thompson's positive attitude is catching.
"(The young guys on the team) have a lot of enthusiasm," said McKenna.
"We have a freshman (Tyler Young) shooting in the 40's," added Thompson with all the pride of a big brother.
"The young kids we have are really into the game," said Coach Minutillo. "Before our Wolcott match (last week), they all came down to practice with their fathers."
Are they improving?
"When the wind blows 50 miles an hour and it's 32 degrees, it's hard to tell," smiled Minutillo.
The young guys will improve.
Meanwhile, McKenna and Thompson are looking forward to playing in the annual two-man tournaments, the Stigberg at Wolcott's Farmingberry Hills next Wednesday and the Chappa May 23.
"We play really well together," said Thompson.
Look for that feeling to spread through the whole team as the weather gets warmer.

Knowing the Exemptions Regarding Inspection
By Beth A. McKew, DVM
The Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) provide for the mandatory inspection of commercial meat and poultry products to ensure that they are wholesome, not adulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. As you may know, a "retail exemption" exists which allows for the preparation of certain meat and poultry products for retail sale without benefit of daily Federal inspection.
Such operations are not without any review. They are typically regulated by a State or local regulatory authority which, depending on your State, may be a State or local Board of Health or State Department of Agriculture, and they are subject to being visited by FSIS. Because of this exemption, the FMIA and PPIA inspection requirements do not apply to the types of operations traditionally and usually conducted at retail stores, provided that the products produced are offered for sale in normal retail quantities to household consumers. However, keep in mind that certain Federal requirements still apply regardless of whether inspection is required, including prohibitions against the sale of adulterated or misbranded products.
The retail exemption also allows for a limited amount of sales of product to other than household consumers. Specifically, this "other than" group includes hotels, restaurants, and similar institutions, commonly abbreviated "HRI." In order for meat and poultry products to be sold by a retail store under the retail exemption to entities classified as HRI, the entities must meet all the criteria described in 9 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 303.1 (d) (2)(iii) (b):
- HRI sales are 25 percent or less of the dollar value of total product sales AND
- HRI sales are less than the calendar year dollar limitation set by the administrator AND
- Products produced fit with the regulations as described by 303.1 (d)(2)(i) a, b, d, or e.
It's important to note that the specific dollar amount set by the administrator is subject to change every year, based on annual changes to the Consumer Price Index. The dollar amount for 2012 is $67,300 for meat products and $51,700 for poultry products. Annual increases are usually announced through a notice in the Federal Register and may be viewed on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service's (FSIS) Web site at www.fsis.usda.gov/Regulations_&_Policies/Federal_Register_Notices/index.asp.
Although meat and poultry products for sale to HRI customers may be produced under FSIS inspection, you may opt to make these products under the retail exemption alongside other retail products. Producing products intended for hotels, restaurants, and other institutions under the retail exemption may provide flexibility in how you run your business.
Some restaurants and hotels may have made a business decision to purchase only federally inspected product, so be sure to communicate with your customers to ensure that you meet their requirements. Also, make certain that you're in compliance with any relevant rules and regulations required by State or local entities.
Firms that have both federally inspected operations and uninspected retail operations are required to keep retail operations separate from federally inspected operations. According to 9 CFR 305.2, the official establishment needs to be separate from the unofficial establishment so that FSIS is able to distinguish between the two operations and the product from those operations. Operational and product separation has typically been determined by time or space.
In other words, the retail exempt operations would have to be conducted in an area that is completely separate from the area in which inspected activities are being performed so there is no possibility of uninspected product being commingled with inspected product. Alternatively, they could be conducted in the same facilities, but they must be conducted at a time when no inspected activities are occurring, outside FSIS' approved hours of operation.
For more information or answers to your questions on HRI and the retail exemption, please contact the Small Plant Help Desk at 1-877-FSISHelp (1-877-374-7435) or email email@example.com. Staff officers are available from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday. The Small Plant Help Desk, operated by the Office of Outreach, Employee Education, and Training's Outreach and Partnership Division, is a "one-stop" call center where operators of small and very small plants can call (or email) about anything relating to the regulation of meat, poultry, and egg products.
What Types of Operations Are Usually Conducted at Retail Stores and Restaurants?
According to Title 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 303.1 (d) (2), those operations include:
- Cutting up, slicing, and trimming carcasses, halves, quarters, or wholesale cuts into retail cuts, such as steaks, chops, and roasts, and freezing such cuts;
- Grinding and freezing products made from meat;
- Curing, cooking, smoking, rendering, or refining of livestock fat, or other preparation of products, except slaughtering or the retort processing of canned products;*
- Breaking bulk shipments of products;
- Wrapping or rewrapping products.
Only federally or State inspected and passed product can be handled or used in the preparation of products sold under the retail exemption.
*Meat and poultry products produced by operations described in Part (c) are not eligible to be produced for HRI under the retail exemption.

Tap Into Your State HACCP Contacts and Coordinators
By Jane Johnson, DVM
Some of the most valuable sources you have for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) information and assistance are the HACCP contacts and coordinators in the State where your plant is located. The HACCP contacts and coordinators provide technical advice resources and conduct activities to support HACCP implementation in small and very small plants.
The contact is generally the State meat and poultry program director or another representative of the State government. Coordinators are affiliated with universities and provide additional one-on-one advice and assistance to small and very small plants. Coordinators also develop and provide training and HACCP seminars.
To obtain information or find out about current HACCP training opportunities being offered in your State, contact your HACCP contact or coordinator. Information may be found on FSIS' Web site at www.fsis.usda.gov/contact_us/state_haccp_contacts_&_coordinators/index.asp . You can also call the Small Plant Help Desk at 1-877-FSISHelp (1-877-374-7435). The Help Desk staff will be happy to provide you with the appropriate contact information.

Commonly Asked Questions & Answers
Q. Under the 2010 Nutrition Labeling final rule, does a plant under USDA inspection that sells directly to consumers have to test each product so that it can be labeled with nutrition information?
A. No, there is no requirement that an establishment test each product. The plant can obtain nutrition information and materials for the major cuts of single-ingredient, raw meat and poultry products that can be used at point-of-purchase from the Food Marketing Institute at www.fmi.org/consumer/nutrifacts/. FSIS also has point-of-purchase (POP) materials available on its Web site at www.fsis.usda.gov/Regulations_&_Policies/Nutrition_Labeling/index.asp . The National Cattlemen's Beef Association also has a Web site, available at www.beefretail.org/nutritionlabeler/, that can be used to develop labels, as well as POP materials for retail.
If a retailer knows the fat content of the ground or chopped product, he or she can obtain information for the nutrition facts panel from the ground beef calculator available from the Agricultural Research Service at the Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 23. This is available at www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata.
Also, if the plant qualifies for the small business exemption (§317.400(a)(1) or §381.500(a)(1)), then it would be exempted from the nutrition labeling requirements for ground and chopped products.
Q. Is a statement of limited use required on donated product?
A. UPDATE (Sep 30, 2016): The answer that originally appeared in this issue is now outdated. For current information on donated products, please review FSIS Directive 7020.1, Verifying Donation Of Misbranded And Economically Adulterated Meat And Poultry Products To Non-Profit Organizations, issued on January 26, 2016. Information on donated product is also available in the askFSIS knowledgebase.
Q. If an official (Federal) establishment tests a beef/veal carcass or part, and the carcass or part is presumptive positive or positive for E. coli O157:H7, can a disposition option for the product include moving it to a State-inspected facility for an adequate lethality treatment?
A. No. When an official establishment tests a carcass or part and determines that it will address the finding on the carcass or part by sending the carcass or part for a lethality treatment, the carcass or part may only move under controls to another official establishment that is capable of applying a full lethality treatment to the product (see FSIS Directive 10,010.1 Chapter III, IV OFF-SITE DISPOSITION OF PRODUCT ). Such a carcass or part is considered adulterated or potentially adulterated, and such products may not move in commerce. Shipping an adulterated or potentially adulterated carcass or part from an official establishment under Federal inspection to a State-inspected facility not under Federal inspection would place that shipment in commerce, which is not permitted under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, even if the products are moved under controls.
Q. Does the Public Health Information System (PHIS) add directed tasks after the generation of noncompliance records (NRs)?
A. By design, the PHIS system generates a directed task on the task list when an NR is saved. The directed task will be the same kind of task that generated the NR. (Exception: an NR based on a positive O157:H7 or other pathogen result would lead to a follow-up sampling and other tasks.) The directed task will have a start date about 1 month after the NR and an end date 3 months after the NR. This is intended for inspection program personnel (IPP) to have a specific opportunity to re-verify whatever led to the initial NR.
The PHIS system will generate a directed task for a variety of reasons. However, IPP will need to verify the same regulatory requirements that led to the NR when performing the NR specific directed task to verify that the establishment remains in compliance.

Food Pairings With Beer
We've heard wine aficionados discuss what wines to serve with certain foods, but beer also has some especially good food pairings. With "Utica On Tap" coming to the Stanley Theater on March 22nd, here are some tips on matching beer with food.
There are some simple beer paring rules, according to beeradvocate.com:
"Food Pairing Tips
The more hop bitterness the beer has, the heartier or livelier the meal needs to be to hold its own. Don't overwhelm your palate or meal and ruin what the chef was trying to achieve.
Another general rule is keep sweet with sweet, and tart with tart. Try to keep your beer sweeter or tarter than the sweet or tart food on the plate. There are exceptions, like pairing drier robust beers with sweet chocolates.
For those of you who are bound to the wine pairing school of thought, think of ale as red wine and lager as white wine. Hoppy beers can also be used in place of a pairing that calls for an acidic wine. Though it honestly doesn't matter, these tips might help you to convert your taste buds over to beer or those of a friend over to beer.
Taste is very subjective and what works for one person might not work for another. If it tastes good to you, then go for it. However, also be open to suggestions, as these tend to come with some knowledge and possible palate enlightenment."
To match a specific favorite beer style with food, go to beeradvocate.com, and plug in your favorite type of brew.

Commission Changes License Fees
The Kansas Wildlife and Parks Commission approved several fee changes at a public hearing in Topeka Thursday, March 16th.
The commission approved increases in fees for resident hunt-own-land deer, antelope and elk permits to the same level as resident landowner/tenant deer ($15), antelope ($20), and elk ($50) permits. Nonresident hunt-own-land deer permits were set at $75, nonresident antlerless deer permits at $75, and nonresident archery antelope permits at $200. (A department proposal to open archery antelope to nonresident hunting will be presented at a public hearing April 27 in Junction City.)
The commission also approved an increase in the cost of duplicate boat registrations to $10, to conform to the cost of other duplicate issuances of the department.
In other public hearing action, the commission approved the addition of the Fort Leavenworth subunit to the urban deer management unit. KDWP big game project leader Lloyd Fox told the commission the change would allow greater flexibility and opportunity in managing the deer population on Fort Leavenworth, since the urban unit offers additional deer hunting opportunity compared with the rest of the state's deer management units.

Arrival: February 12 - 19
We got in late from the airport, but our check-in time went great, everyone was very helpful. The weather felt so warm after coming from Northern Minnesota!
The rooms were very nice & clean, they cleaned the rooms and restocked towels every day. One nice thing too was we could use the washers & driers free.
Restaurants and Bars
The Food was Fantastic!! A great variety, three Big Buffet Meals every day, plus the Bar for drinks anytime, and the "Jerk Shack" for snacks. We also enjoyed the Seabreeze and Trattoria Specialty Restaraunts.
The Beach was gorgeous and our group really enjoyed going out to the Little Island. I liked the Hot Tub for relaxing. We also enjoyed Kayaking. The grounds were beautiful.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel
There was allot of entertainment daily. We attended Church Services Sunday AM. We took several tours, and we appreciated our Tour Manager! she really helped us in lining up our tours. The Tours all were very enjoyable & special & it was fun to see the Country-side. We shopped at the Gift Shops at the resort & we also walked across the street for Jamaican Shopping a few times.
Other Comments
We did learn one thing the hard way, my Grandson made Phone calls with an International Calling Card and found out when leaving he was charged for all the calls as it did not work in the rooms, this was sad. I would love to go back sometime! Thank You to all, Owner, Manager, & Staff!

My daughter and I were here for 5 nights in November 8th ~Nov 13th she is getting married this june so this was our last mother/daughter vacation
(so we thought, we just got back from a week in ft. Lauderdale together)
From the time we landed, until check out, our vacation was great. We upgraded to a Deluxe Ocean Front room, we had a spectacular view of the ocean right outside our window. We were on the ground floor, and had a little patio out there.
FOOD: Food was awesome, great variety, and plenty to go around. I especially liked the "made to order" omelets for breakfast. Staff was friendly, and always handy to fill my coffee, or get another napkin if needed. We loved the Italian restaurant so much, we had dinner there TWICE!
ROOM: as I said we had an oceanfront room, in building 1. It was clean, and housekeeping came in everyday and made sure it stayed that way.
NIGHTLIFE: Was not too busy, it was in Nov. and the kids are in school, but they did the best they could, there was a fashion show, there was "movie night" and there was a beach front dinner at the Jamaican restaurant…
GROUNDS: The beach is a little shallow and is NOT by any means as nice as the beaches in Punta Cana or Mexico, but the sunset makes up for it. I am a beach person and LOVE the beach and ocean..but I could deal with the small amount of sand for the beautiful Jamaican sunset!
They have a great little Market, as well as a gift shop.
The one thing I didn't like was the fact that refrigerators don't come with the room, u have to request one. We did and got one right away, but most resorts give you that luxury, that we didn't realize WAS a luxury, until we didn't have one.
Would I return? YES, IN FACT I HAVE A WEEK PLANNED THERE THIS SEPT. AND MY FIANCE AND I ARE BEING MARRIED ON THE GAZEBO OVERLOOKING THE WATER , NEAR THE JAMACIAN RESTAURANT, IF U ARE GOING TO BE THERE THIS WEEK, COME SHARE IN OUR HAPPINESS!! The actual date of the ceremony is Sept 17th 4pm.

After recommendations from friends I was very disappointed. The room was mouldy, the pillows were lumpy, the floors had snails walking around. The bathroom was old with cigarette burns, almost slipped in the tub as it was so slimey. The furniture was falling apart. The dining area was full of flies, the assortments of foods were limited, maybe because it was the end of a long holiday weekend. For the price of more than US$200 it was not worth it. I would not go as far up the scale to rate Holiday Inn Sunspree Montego Bay a 3 star.

Arrival: July 11-18, 2009
This is a good choice for the budget traveler who does not expect a 5 star resort from a 3 star with 3 star pricing. Our criteria are a clean room with clean linens, good food and friendly staff and the Sunspree met all of these. The hotel is older and is under new ownership and renovations are underway. We stayed in Block #6 (5, 6, and 7 have been renovated or are in the process). It was close to the adult only pool and the quieter section of the beach. Blocks 1-4 are closer to the activities pool, restaurants, etc. Our room was nicely redecorated, but the bathroom was worn and in need of some attention. However, the room was cleaned daily and fresh towels were always provided (even washcloths which are sometimes hard to find in the Caribbean). Shampoo, lotion and soap were provided and replaced as necessary. There was also an iron and ironing board, coffee maker, clock radio and flat screen TV; nice touches for a 3 star hotel.
We enjoyed the variety of Jamaican foods offered at the main buffet restaurant, but if you are not the adventurous type, there was always pasta, pizza, etc at the buffet and lots of other choices (hot dogs, burgers, fries, nachos, etc) at the poolside and oceanfront snack bars. We found the food to be very good and had good service from the staff. There was good jerk chicken, pork, fish, etc available at various times in the main buffet and daily at the Just Kiddn hut across from the watersports booth. We ate once at the Jamaican a la carte and enjoyed the food and service there. The only complaints were the blaring Michael Bolton music played there and the dribbling of basketballs on the adjacent court during dinner. If you are eating here, ask for an oceanfront table to avoid the basketball court. We did not have the opportunity to try the two other a la cartes (Italian and International) because they were booked for the nights that we were interested in.

This was my 2nd time in a year to visit this resort. I loved it the first when I came with my daughter, then came back a few months later with a group for MY WEDDING! My husband and I were married in the Gazebo overlooking the beautiful Carribbean! Julia, the wedding Coordinator was GREAT! She ensured that we had a beautiful wedding, and reception. The hotel manager was excellent when we had an issue with one minor issure with the air conditioning, he moved up to a Bridal Suite with a Hot tub, Oceanfront! It was a beautiful room!
Your Arrival:
As we arrived onto the property, our luggage was placed in the lobby and we were shown over to the check in desk. We are priorty club members, but the priority window was closed, but we still had a speedy check in. While waiting to be served, a lovely woman from the bar brought us over refreshing drinks.
As I mentioned above, we had an issue with the Air, so we were upgraded to a beautiful OceanFront Bridal Suite!
Restaurants and Bars:
Where to begin? every place is great! Sorrentos was awesome, jamacian restaurant was fab. Sorrentos was closed the day of our wedding, but the chef came in and some staff and cooked us a private dinner/reception for our group. It was beautiful...champagne, the flowers, the wedding, the recpetion...all were FREE if u booked a deluxe room, which we had. The cake...was awesome,....we ordered marble cake, and when we cut it, the inside was the color of the Jamaican flag....awesome!
Loved the beach and the pool!
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Plenty of activiites to keep everyone busy. We took a catamaran sunset cruise off the resort, it was beautiful! Snorkeling on the resort around the island was great, take some bread with you from the buffet..the fish swim right up to you!
Other Comments:
Loved this place both times I was here. Made some great friends, and went with some great friends. We are planning on returing this Sept. and meeting up with ppl we met there last Sept and we are coming with friends who joined us last year! I cant say enough great things about this resort!!

Cheap, terrible food, rude staff, no manners, dirty, over-crowded
Your Arrival:
Had to wait 3 hours to check-in. Front desk said we could check in as soon as our room was clean. We checked with them every 30 minutes to see if our room was ready. Magically everyone's rooms were all cleaned at exactly 3pm.
Floors were dirty
Restaurants and Bars:
Only 1 air conditioned restaurant on site. The food in every restaurant was very cheap quality and not good at all.
Adult pool was only 3 1/2 feet deep (ridiculous!).
Other Comments:
Do not go here! Very cheap, you do not get your money's worth. We considered paying $400 to leave early after just 2 days.

We asked for a poolview room and we were placed in a room that was overlooking a garbage. The pools looked like they had been cleaned once a week. The pool was only 3 ft deep. The beach was terrible, dirty and shallow. The shuttles were never on time so we had to spend 200 on cab fare the whole trip. The staff was terribly rude, except for the odd worker. The gift store was expensive. Not worth your money, go to a different resort.

Got back yesterday, had a great time, weather was fantastic. This is a nice resort, we had no complaints at all. Would say it is a 4, but that is just my opinion. The food was good, as were the drinks. If you drink whiskey, ask for CC otherwise you will get bourbon. I discovered a new fav - rum cream, either straight up, on the rocks, or mixed with milk, all good. There are daily activities at the pool, trivia, bingo, beer drinking etc... We ate at the Italian ala carte twice and it was good. You have 3 a week, which you book a day in advance, but you can eat at the same one all 3 times. We only ate at the italian, because the I don't like seafood and the other choice was paella (spanish), but we heard it was no good. The Bare Foot grill is open daily from 12-5 and nightly from 10-1, offering hotdogs, hamburgers, fish and chips and grilled cheese. You can get nachos, jerk chicken, ice cream at the kiddie corner daily as well.
Our room was clean with 2 3/4 size beds and a 42" flat panel tv. The in room safe worked very well, you program your own code, so no worries there.
Pool was great for kids and the beach, with the manmade island was great. Apparently the snorkling at the island was really good, my young lad saw a lion fish out there!! Paddle boats and hobie cats are included in the all inclusive.

I went to the Holiday Inn because of the kids club and they were one of the few hotels that took a child under 2. I would not leave my daughter there as they had nothing for her to due but try and stick her in front of a television and the staff just didn't seem to care they would let them cry. I think I'm not the only one who thought this as there were tons of children in the resort and very few at the kids club and rarely any under 2. Not the vacation I wanted and the staff with a few exceptions were very rude, I couldn't get a coffee at breakfast if my life depended on it.

Jon Stewart Lays Into Megyn Kelly Over Race War on Christmas
With the typical "War on Christmas" fare getting stale and predictable, Fox News has stepped up its game, launching attacks against Festivus poles and black Santas. And the fact that shit's getting weird over there hasn't escaped Jon Stewart's radar.
On last night's The Daily Show, Stewart opened with a segment entitled "War on Christmas — Shit's Getting Weird Edition," and proceed to take both Carlson and Kelly to task over their make-believe grievances.
Stewart mostly brushed off Carlson's "manger danger" concern over a Festivus "protest" taking place in Florida in the form of a beer-can Festivus pole erected near the nativity scene at the state capital.
"It's Florida," Stewart reminded Carlson. "You're lucky there's not a stripper named 'Christmas' swinging on it."
But Kelly's dream of a White Christmas was a bit too out of race field, even for Stewart.
"Who are you actually talking to?" Stewart inquired, incredulous. "Children who are sophisticated enough to be watching a news channel at 10 o'clock at night, yet innocent enough to believe Santa Claus is real, yet racist enough to be freaked out if he isn't white?"
Stewart goes on to dismantle the "fact based" argument Kelly and her colleagues are trying to make about a made-up person who doesn't exist.
He points out that Santa is based on a real-life Saint who lived in a part of the world that is now Turkey, and that his skin was probably several shades darker than the one cooked up by Coca-Cola marketers in the 30s.
As for Jesus also being white, well, Stewart has something to say about that too.

PolyArea is a GUI program written in Python that lets you to draw polygons and find their area. I developed PolyArea with the help of my son Saar and presented it in The PolyArea Project: Part 1, where I described the design and architecture of PolyArea, the implementation of the algorithm itself, and the software development practices we have used. In Part 2 I describe the graphic and UI aspect of PolyArea. It's worth noting that we have made an unorthodox choice when we picked up PyGame as our foundation library for graphics and UI.
But calculating the area of simple polygons (polygons with no holes) is not as simple as it seems. In addition, we wanted to have a nice UI where you can draw polygons on the screen and see a visualization of the algorithm in action. The complete source code is available here.
Why PyGame?
pygame is a set of Python modules for developing games and other multimedia programs that's built on top of the SDL library. The reason we picked PyGame as our foundation library for graphics and UI is simply that Saar had some familiarity with it from the book Hello World! Computer Programming for Kids and Other Beginners. PyGame is lightweight and doesn't use callbacks heavily, which makes it straightforwardto understand. However, you can still shoot yourself in the foot more easily than with a more structured framework.
PolyArea doesn't have a standard UI -- no menu, no toolbar, no buttons. You have a drawing surface where you can draw polygons with the mouse. There are a couple of keyboard commands to paint rectangles inside the finished polygon and to start over. That's about it. The accumulated area of the triangles that the polygon is composed of is displayed in the corner. PyGame is good enough for this purpose because it provides drawing functions and event handling for the mouse and keyboard.
The Main Loop
With PyGame you need to write your own main loop and spin the wheels. I wrote a generic main loop class (defined in mainloop.py) that maintains a list of display objects, handles events, handles collisions, updates the state of all the objects and renders the objects on the screen. This is pretty much what a game does. The generic main loop doesn't actually implement all these operations that some of them are specific to every game.
The class can be used as is for simple programs that just draw on the screen and don't care about events. You can just instantiate it, add objects, and call the run() method, which will continue to update() and render() your objects in each iteration.
The class can also be used as a base class for more complicated programs. You should subclass it with your your own class and implement the handle_events() and handle_collisions() methods.
The __init__() method lets you set the size of the window, caption, and background color. It defines an empty list of objects (the objects you put in this list will be rendered to the screen later). It initializes the PyGame library itself, creates a screen object (corresponds to the application window) with the requested size, fills it with the background object and sets the caption.
<code> class MainLoop(object): def __init__(self, screen_size, caption, background_color=(255, 255, 255)): self.objects = [] pygame.init() self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode(screen_size) self.screen.fill(background_color) pygame.display.set_caption(caption) </code>
The run() method implements the main loop itself. It is an endless loop (while True). The program will exit though by responding to the quit event as you'll see later. The method calls in each iteration the methods for handling events (e.g., mouse clicks and key presses), updating objects, handling collisions (not used in the PolyArea program), and most importantly rendering the objects to the screen.
<code> def run(self): while True: self.handle_events(pygame.event.get()) self._update_objects() self.handle_collisions() self._render_objects() </code>
The implementation of the handle_events() just checks for the QUIT event and exits if it's present. As a generic main loop implementation there isn't much that can be done.
<code> def handle_events(self, events): """ """ if pygame.locals.QUIT in events: sys.exit() </code>
The handle_collisions() method is empty, which means you need to override it in your main loop subclass. It is not used in PolyArea because there are no moving objects. In a game, after all, the object positions have been updated you would want to handle collisions such as missiles hitting targets, characters running into walls, etc.
<code> def handle_collisions(self): """ """ </code>
The _update_objects() method is fully implemented. It simply iterates over all the objects and calls the update() method of each object. Nothing else is needed.
<code> def _update_objects(self): for o in self.objects: o.update() </code>
The _rednder_objects() method iterates over all the objects (after they have been updated and all the collisions were handled) and calls the render() method of each one passing the screen object (on which the objects will render themselves). The rendering typically takes place on an off-screen buffer and then the entire off-screen buffer is displayed as one image on the actual screen by calling the pygame.display.flip() function.
<code> def _render_objects(self): for o in self.objects: o.render(self.screen) pygame.display.flip() </code>

Hello people
I have been trying to make an educational TCP server-client model in c++, using the standard c socket libraries.
for full reference and a GitHub - stefmitropoulos/simple_c_tcp_client: Simple TCP Client in c++c-make file, you can visit the code for the server here and for the client here GitHub - stefmitropoulos/simplesocketserver: Simple C++ socket server.
I am using spdlog library for logging, used less than 10 times though. If you don't want to download it from GitHub - gabime/spdlog: Fast C++ logging library. just remove it in the code
What I have done is:
Server Side :
Create a socket, bind, listen to it and accept when there is a pending connection. After that, spawn a thread to handle the connection and detach it.
The thread sends a welcome message to the client, receives a message from the client and returns the message with the Caesar Cipher applied to it.
Client Side :
Create a socket and connect to the server. Receive the message and then send a message to the server. Then receive the ciphered text.
My problem lies (I think) in the client side.
Code:char buff[MAX]; if (recv(sockfd, buff, sizeof(buff), 0) < 0) { exit(6); } puts(buff); bzero(buff, sizeof(buff)); strcpy(buff, "PIZZA"); if (send(sockfd, buff, sizeof(buff), 0) < 0) { exit(5); } struct pollfd fds[1]; fds[0].fd = sockfd; fds[0].events = (POLLIN); int ret = 1; while (ret) { ret = poll(fds, 1, 2000); if (ret == -1) { spdlog::error("ERROR ON POLL"); exit(5); } if (ret == 0) { spdlog::info("Timeout reached"); } while (ret) { if (fds[0].revents == 0) { continue; } ret--; if (fds[0].revents & POLLIN) { //NOLINT //INCOMING DATA bzero(buff, sizeof(buff)); if (recv(sockfd, buff, 100, MSG_DONTWAIT) < 0) { puts("Recv()"); exit(6); } } } } close(sockfd); std::cout << "Reply from the server: " << buff << std::endl;
I am writing the buffer with 0s before receiving a final time, but when ran, this part prints nothing!
When I run it on the debugger, or if I induce a sleep() just before the recv(), I get \nQJAAB, the caesar cipher version of PIZZA!
It is driving me mad, any help would be appreciated!

Woman Sues US Airways to Get Answers on Loss of Husband's Ashes
Angeline O'Grady hoped to scatter husband's ashes in England, but couldn't.
Sept. 20 2013 , 2013 -- Angeline O'Grady boarded a US Airways flight two years ago to scatter her husband's ashes in England after the 71-year-old passed away from cancer.
The airline didn't lose her bag but, O'Grady claims, they lost her husband's remains.
She said she asked the airline what happened but never got an adequate answer. So, she said, she asked again -- and again. Then her lawyer asked.
Now, she's suing.
"She's extremely frustrated," said O'Grady's lawyer, Bill Goldman Jr. "We're seeking accountability and responsibility from US Airways in order to find out why they've made no attempt to explain how this happened. It's about justice for the deceased."
Goldman told ABCNews.com that the airline has ignored his and O'Grady's requests for an investigation into the November 2011 flight from Philadelphia to England.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Philadelphia's Common Pleas Court. According to the suit, O'Grady is seeking $200,000, plus damages and other costs, for breach of contract, bailment, negligence and intentional infliction of mental distress.
Goldman added that he hoped the lawsuit would finally get the attention of US Airways because the item lost is one that can never be replaced.
"US Airways, rather than Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady, has had the last word in determining Mr. O'Grady's final resting place," the lawsuit read. "He is not at peace."
US Airways said it was not at fault in the loss of the ashes.
"While we certainly send our condolences to Mrs. O'Grady, US Airways' investigation into this matter did not uncover any information indicating that US Airways is responsible for this unfortunate incident," Todd Lehmacher, a spokesman for US Airways, told ABCNews.com in a written statement. "We, of course, will defend ourselves against the suit."
O'Grady first encountered problems back on Nov. 1, 2011 at the security line when TSA made her check the urn after she was planning on carrying it on, Goldman told ABCNews.com. TSA agents told her the "contents were not a solid substance."
"When my client was sent back to the US Airways ticketing counter to check her bag carrying Mr. O'Grady's ashes, she was told that her seat was given away because she was now running late and the airline forced her to buy a $500 business class ticket," said Goldman.
It wasn't until O'Grady arrived in Hull, England, and opened her suitcase that she realized the urn was gone. She immediately called her son back home to file a complaint with the airline.
"All of their relatives in England were gathered in Hull for Brian O'Grady's ceremony, planning to scatter his ashes where his mother was cremated five months earlier. Mrs. O'Grady was unable to fulfill her husband's wishes," said her lawyer.
When O'Grady arrived back stateside, she contacted US Airways for answers but, according to her lawyer, never received an explanation.
O'Grady could not be reached for comment because she was in England visiting her deceased husband's sister.

We joined head brewer Brendan O'Sullivan for a pre-release tasting of their years-in-the making Solera beer
Boatrocker Brewing Co in the south of Melbourne has one heck of a tasting room, where you can work your way through any number of their barrel aged delights, while surrounded by the barrels from whence they came. Every week, Cabalistas can get their first two pints of core range beers at pot prices when visiting the Boatrocker Barrel Room.
Blackman's Brewery have opened a new Geelong branch, and are ready to welcome you through the doors. What better way to kick off a visit than with a free tasting paddle? Thanks to ten taps and plenty of specialties, you can get to know the Blackman's range easily, so make sure to plan a visit soon!

Wolf of the Willows were planning to open their new taproom in March; more than seven months later, they hope they'll soon be able to.
For years Moo Brew said they wouldn't brew an IPA. Then they did. Then they added it to their core range (and followed up with an IIPA for good measure).

A Week at Philmont Training Centerstevejb68 on June 22, 2014 in Advancement, National, Philmont, Training
Well, the week is now a part of history. Last week I spent my vacation at the Philmont Training Center at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. It was awesome! Sunny every day. Not a drop of rain. Great Scouters and instructors everywhere. And only one mosquito bit me. (Several dozen would bite me during a weekend outing in Minnesota.) And to top it off, I actually learned a few things about advancement, which is saying something after spending 30 years as a scoutmaster.
The food was fantastic. I had lost 25 pounds before going to Philmont, from 193 to 168. Yes, I hit my goal, but I knew that going on vacation to PTC it would be hard to keep up the diet. So I didn't. The food prepared in the dining hall by the PTC staff was great. I never went away hungry. If you did not like the main course, you could fix something at the hot bar. If that did not meet your taste buds you could always fix yourself a salad or a sandwich of your choice. And if those did not suit your mood, well, fix yourself a bowl of cereal. I was a little worried when I stepped on the scale this morning. I guess all that walking while at PTC paid off. I only gained four pounds back. I should have that gone by the end of next week or sooner.
My camera and iPad were busy during the trip. I usually took a few hundred photos when I was at Philmont in the past. I really outdid myself this year thanks to digital technology. In fact, I set a record not only for my trips to Philmont, but for any vacation I have ever taken. I have 907 photos of the trip between the two cameras. I also have 33 videos taken of various events through the week, including a talk given to my my class by the National Commissioner Tico Perez. Photos and videos came to over 14 GB. Do you think I might have overdone it a bit?
Yep, it was a great trip, made better by sharing it with Bob, my district executive from the Central Minnesota Council. Keep a watch on this blog during the next few weeks as I share more stories, photos, and videos from the trip.

Defining metal music is never easy, but for this all-time list, Gibson.com opted to leave bands like Led Zeppelin and Queen in the hard rock camp and concentrate on the heavier metal sounds – Iron Maiden, Sabbath, Metallica and the like.
10. "Breaking the Law," Judas Priest
Written by Judas Priest's holy trinity of Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, "Breaking the Law" features one of the most famous opening riffs in metal, and music, history. Released as the lead single off of 1980's beloved British Steel, the song is a lean, mean classic – coming in at about 2:30 with no solos. Halford later told Billboard that the economic situation in England had an effect on the lyrics. "It was a time in the U.K. when there was a lot of strife," he said. "That was the incentive for me to write a lyric to try to connect with that feeling that was out there." And what's more metal than deciding you're done with living your boring life and that it's time to live on the edge? "Breaking the Law" is a metal song that's so dangerous, you might even be able to rob a bank with it
9. "Hallowed Be Thy Name," Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden are the kings of the end-of-the-album-side, eight-minute epic and – with apologies to "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Fear of the Dark" and a few others – they've never done it better than on this Number of the Beast monster. From the initial bell tolling to the rush of the full-band entrance around the one-minute mark and the enthralling riff that follows, the song never ceases to build. Just as the lyrical character's anticipation and terror escalates on his walk to the gallows, so builds the power of the track. By the end of the song, as Bruce Dickinson belts "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Hallowed Be Thy Name!" the listener is in full-out headbanging frenzy. With winding, weaving, harmonizing twin solos from Adrian Smith and Dave Murray, and thunderous backing from bestial bassist Steve Harris and drummer Clive Burr, the song is, perhaps, the perfect distillation of the unmatchable Iron Maiden formula.
8. "One," Metallica
The fourth single from their …And Justice for All album, "One" displays Metallica at the height of their immense powers. The music is dark, the lyrics even darker, and it was simply a stroke of genius for the band, who up to this point had vehemently eschewed making videos, to make "One" the first video they would ever put on MTV. Oh, and what a devastating punch to the gut it was to the uninitiated! Based on a 1939 novel about a soldier maimed in war – his arms, legs, ears, nose, mouth and eyes all gone – nothing intact except for his ability to think and to realize that he is forever confined to the dark isolation of his own tortured thoughts (no one to hear his silent pleas of "kill me… kill me…") many MTV viewers were horrified. Heavy metal fans, however, were jubilant as they celebrated the dawning of a new era. There was a new sheriff in town on MTV, and its name was Metallica!
7. "Paranoid," Black Sabbath
If "Iron Man" represents the slow, near dirge-like side of heavy metal, then "Paranoid" is its rapid-fire brother. Centered on Tony Iommi's menacing, proto-punk riff and Ozzy Osbourne's banshee vocal, the song established a template from which bands as varied as Metallica and Nirvana would later draw. Geezer Butler's rumbling bass lines and Bill Ward's full-throttle drumming were key as well, as both established the hyper-charged rhythmic backdrop against which Iommi and Osbourne could shine (albeit darkly). "It's just something that came out of me that was totally different," Iommi later said, of the guitar style he fathered. "It was doomy and the riffs were a bit frightening. It's a really mystical thing." Indeed, like a locomotive hurtling into a violent thunderstorm, "Paranoid" remains at once thrilling and frightening.
6. "War Pigs," Black Sabbath
It's not an easy task to choose which Sabbath song is the greatest (hence why three of them are clustered together here in the Top 10), but you might call "War Pigs" the band's best epic. From the lead-footed sludge of the opening minute, to the moment Tony Iommi bursts in with the gut-punching riff to the outstretched coda (named "Luke's Wall" in honor of roadies Geoff "Luke" Lucas and Spock Wall), "War Pigs" has everything you want in a Sabbath song. Each member was firing on all cylinders on this one. Bill Ward has never been more thunderous, Geezer Butler kicks out a killer groove, Iommi's blues-metal genius is on full display and Ozzy Osbourne's sour howl sounds perfectly satanic – even though the lyrics were altered to be about the horrors of war. Becoming a metal standard, it's been covered numerous times, but no one's ever matched the brute force of the original.
5. "The Number of the Beast," Iron Maiden
Evil is an intrinsic part of metal and, like "Black Sabbath," Iron Maiden's "The Number of the Beast" takes the listener as close to that evil as they can bear. The song's legendary scream of anguish after the intro is as real as it gets – legend has it that the moment is a recording of singer Bruce Dickinson's real reaction to being asked to record yet another take. Meanwhile bassist and lyricist Steve Harris' narrative was inspired in part by a nightmare he had after seeing the film The Omen and partly by the 1790 poem Tam o'Shanter by Robert Burns, in which the protagonist similarly witnesses all kinds of ghoulish goings-on. Musically the song is uptempo and hypnotic, with the requisite shout-along chorus and a tension-building bridge which is relieved by a classic Dave Murray/Adrian Smith shred vs. blues solo duel.
4. "Iron Man," Black Sabbath
Tony Iommi grinds out some riffs, Ozzy Osbourne starts humming and says it sounds like an iron bloke walking about. Geezer Butler runs with the line, turns it into a song and a Sabbath classic is born. With the pounding power of Iommi's riff, the strident vocals and the imagination-teasing storytelling, this was a new kind of rock. It was darker, gloomier, nastier and bolder than Zeppelin and Purple. Black Sabbath weren't hard rock, Sabbath were metal.
3. "Crazy Train," Ozzy Osbourne
The pressure was on Ozzy Osbourne in 1980. His crazy antics had led to his departure from Black Sabbath and the launch of, hopefully, a new solo career. Randy Rhoads' outrageous guitar work, as well as Rhoads' songwriting collaborations, ensured that so long as Ozzy could come up with decent lyrics and still force fire from his belly, the career would be in good shape. "Crazy Train" was near perfect in concept and execution. All Aboard!
2. "Ace of Spades," Motörhead
Maybe "Ace of Spades" is technically more hard rock than metal – but it certainly rocks harder and faster than any song known to man (metal or otherwise). From the moment Lemmy hits the gas pedal on the opening bass riff, the song never relents. "Philthy Animal" Taylor nobly powers the drums forward at a frenetic pace and "Fast" Eddie Clarke is more than up to the task of ripping a blazing solo directly after the breakdown. And oh, that breakdown. "You know I'm born to lose/And gambling is for fools/But that's the way I like it, baby/I don't want to live forever! – And don't forget the Joker!" If that doesn't set your blood boiling, then you simply don't have a pulse.
1. "Master of Puppets," Metallica
Metallica were already high on the heavy metal watch list with Kill 'em All and Ride the Lightning, but 1986's Master of Puppets was the ultimate statement of intent, as much a call to arms for metalheads everywhere as it was a dire warning of the enslaving power of drug abuse. The song's razor-sharp intro riff sets up the perfect headbanging tempo in the chugging verses, while it's every teenage metal fan's sacred rite of passage to scream out "Master! Master!" at the top of their lungs to this song (preferably at a Metallica concert, but at the very least from a car window). The breakdown and harmony line are balanced by a rare James Hetfield solo (with Hetfield revealing a surprisingly bluesy, haunting and emotional lead style), a return to the harmony, then a blazing Kirk Hammett solo. By the end of the song, it's obvious that metal would never be the same

No. 3 Michigan routs Western Michigan 73-41
Trey Burke had 20 points and seven assists, and No. 3 Michigan eased past Western Michigan for a 73-41 victory Tuesday night.
The Wolverines (8-0) had actually lost their previous two games against the Broncos, but that was more than a decade ago. Western Michigan (6-2) had won six straight coming into this game, including a victory over South Florida, but the Broncos wasted a chance to stay with the Wolverines, turning the ball over 13 times in the first half.
Nik Stauskas scored 11 points for Michigan, and fellow freshman Mitch McGary added 10 on 5-of-5 shooting.
Freshman Darius Paul had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Western Michigan.
It is Michigan's first 8-0 start since 1996-97.
The Wolverines weren't all that sharp offensively, especially early, but Western Michigan couldn't take advantage. The Broncos committed several fouls at the offensive end in the first half, and Michigan led 25-15 after a layup by Glenn Robinson III. Jordan Morgan pushed the lead to a dozen with a layup of his own, and it was 35-21 at halftime.
The Wolverines put the game away early in the second half. Stauskas made a 3-pointer to make it 45-28, and Robinson and Burke added old-fashioned three-point plays to make it a 23-point game.
It was 51-34 before Michigan padded the margin with a 22-2 run. A 3-pointer by Tim Hardaway Jr. made it 66-36, and Burke connected moments later from beyond the arc.
For much of the night, Michigan threatened its worst shooting percentage of the season, but the Wolverines actually ended up right at 50 percent. It was the Broncos who really went through a nightmare at the offensive end, shooting 29 percent from the field, going 2 of 17 from 3-point range and finishing with 18 turnovers.
Michigan was coming off a bit of a test last weekend, when the Wolverines won 74-66 at Bradley. They'll face another interesting nonconference matchup when Arkansas visits Ann Arbor on Saturday.
Paul was the only Western Michigan player in double figures, and he shot 3 of 12. The Broncos' winning streak may have been a bit deceptive, with the last three victories coming by a combined 10 points.

Double Digits
Rory turns 10 today, and she cannot quit reminding me that she is a pre-teen. For a girl who wants to grow up as quickly as possible, this is a big deal.
We celebrated over the weekend while my parents were in town and she is taking snickerdoodle cookies (that she made herself) tomorrow for lunch so her actual birthday is a little anti-climatic. She requested Fazolis for supper (she is clearly not a foodie) and we have leftover cake and ice cream.
Rory is giggly and tenderhearted, ditzy and intelligent. She is an awesome helper and a hard worker. She spends an inordinate amount of time in front of the mirror fixing her hair (which is always a bun or braid). I am still her favorite human (although I have a suspicion the tween years could change this). She thrives on personal responsibility and independence. Once her mind is made up, you cannot convince her she's wrong. She is frightfully forgetful. She adores music and has no idea she cannot carry a tune. She cries at the drop of a hat and will break your heart with her crocodile tears. She loves all things bright and flashy. Her favorite phrase is, "well, that was offensive!" and "dag nab it."
She made a birthday list weeks ago. Literally, the week after Camden's birthday back in July (which is the earliest I would let her do it). *Because this serves as a memory keeper for me, Camden spent his remaining summer yard work money to buy her both a soccer ball and Mario Kart 8.
And a few pictures from this afternoon. She has absolutely no personality.
