'I saw hundreds of boys dying that day. God was with me'
By Debra Minor Wilson
They say D-Day really began in 1942 when the first American soldier landed in England for training.
For Pricketts Creek native Arnold Vincent, D-Day began in March 1942 when he was drafted, months after Pearl Harbor was bombed.
"A lot of people from Marion County were being drafted," he says. "They took everybody."
At the time, he was 30 and working at Alcan Aluminum in Fairmont.
"I chose the 82nd infantry," he recalls. He's a spry gent, slight in build, but always with a twinkle in his eye.
"I wanted to try the Airborne because I wanted to try the gliders. They told me, 'You'll go.' So now I'm a life member of the 101st Airborne."
Such a modest statement. He neglects to add that the 101st is also known as the Screaming Eagles, one of two U.S. paratrooper units to land first on the Normandy countryside. The other is the 82nd, All-American.
Beside fighting in Normandy, Vincent was in the major battles of Ardennes, Rheinland, Central Europe. He has received the Good Conduct Medal, Bronze Star, Distinguished Unit Badge, Europe/Africa/Middle East service ribbon, American Theater service ribbon and World War II Victory Ribbon.
He was with the first wave that landed on Utah Beach.
"God was with me that day," he says softly. "I never even got scratched. I just took things as they came. But I saw hundreds of boys dying or wounded that day."
Before embarking for England, he received basic training at Fort Hayes, Ohio; Camp Claiborne, La., and Fort Bragg, N.C. He arrived in England in October 1943, one of more than one million American G.I.s participating in Operation Overlord.
"I trained for nine months before I saw combat," he says.
He became leader of the machine gun squad of Company B, 327th Glider Infantry, 101st Airborne. He would leave the force in 1945 as a staff sergeant.
"I was stationed at Reading, England. It was a nice enough place, if you could dodge the bombs.
"There were thousands of Americans over there. The British loved us. They couldn't do enough for us. But the people in Holland appreciated us the most. They called us their liberators."
The English invited the Yanks into their homes for dinner, but Vincent says they were told not to go.
"They didn't have all that much food and we were paid a lot more than they were. Besides, the U.S. government was giving us everything we wanted to eat!"
Like most military men, he has a few tales to tell of his time overseas.
His only Christmas in England was cold and snowy.
"We'd gotten some turkey for the holiday and I was starting to eat mine. I'd gotten me a turkey leg. Well, it was around midnight and wouldn't you know it, they started shelling us.
"I had to drop my holiday turkey in the snow near my fox hole. The next day, I remembered it and decided to eat it. It was frozen, but did it taste good!"
Although the invasion was to be a cooperative effort involving several nations, Vincent and his buddies trained exclusively with fellow Americans.
And according to Vincent, the soldiers knew what was going to take place.
"They told us what was going to happen. We took oaths not to tell.
We knew we wouldn't be in England for long; we knew we were going to France. "We knew where but not exactly when. There were rumors, but no one knew for sure. Or at least they weren't telling us.
"They had tables set up, models of the coast of France, made of sand. They showed us exactly where we'd land.
"They must have been afraid someone would go over the hill, because they had armed guard[s] every five or six feet. But no one did."
As June 1944 approached, the men were taken to a staging area, where huge landing crafts and landing ships were being loaded with soldiers, equipment and tanks. He recalls this with a laugh. "At the staging area, they fed us all we could eat. We joked about it, saying we were being fed for the slaughter!"
One night, he and his buddies had a very special visitor.
General Dwight D. Elsenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force and later President of the United States, was meeting with the men one last time before they left.
"He shook hands with everybody, or tried to. He shook my hand. He was a kind commander."
"We didn't think of coming home. We knew without a doubt that God would let us come home."
Activities began stepping up. The men sensed the something big they'd been training for was near.
It was.
It was Monday, June 5, 1944. A storm was whipping the Normandy coast, churning the English channel. Allied weather forecasters predicted the storm would break. Eisenhower had to decide: to go or stay.
He decided to go.
So Vincent, along with thousands of other American and Allied soldiers, shipped out for France. They were part of the largest armada in military history, before or since. They were going to defeat Hitler's Nazi soldiers.
"I don't remember how long it took us to cross the channel," he says. Time, age and happier memories have blurred some memories for him and other D-Day veterans.
He and the other 30 or so men in his machine gun squadron loaded into the Higgins assault boat that would take them to Utah Beach. Utah was the first assault area in the American sector and formed the right flank of the invasion area that swept on east along the coastline of the Bay of Seine.
Each carried up to 70 pounds or more of equipment, supplies and artillery. Many drowned in the churning waves of the ocean.
Others drowned within sight of the beaches when their assault boats sank.
"They dropped the front end of the assault boat and we marched into the waves," Vincent recalls. "I marched smack dab into a shell hole! Almost went under. The water was very rough; I almost drowned. I did lose my gun in the water."
There was "a lot of fighting going on. The parachuters had gone in first. There was all kinds of noise. We got bombed in the water. Balloons (blimps) were keeping the German plan[e]s from coming in too close."
This factory worker got his first taste of the horrors of war on Utah Beach.
"There was lost of dead boys there on the beach, I'm sorry to say. I never could figure out where we went to on the beach. We had to keep a watch out for those German machine guns.
"We had no real objective, except to fight. Getting my men to the top of the ridge was my objective. Men were falling everywhere. We didn't lose too many in our outfit.
"We were all trying to survive. What else could you do? Those crickets (small metal clickers given to soldiers) were no good. The Germans would hear a click and shoot you."
He's quiet now, gazing out the picture window of his attractive home on East Grafton Road. A deer appears on the ridge across the road, and he watches her delicately prance across the field. His wife Grace watches him silently, knowing that he's remembering and needs some time.
"I lost a very good friend, from Grafton, name of Kirby. He died in a bayonet fight with a German one cold night. He's buried in the old National Cemetery in Grafton."
The ridge he mentioned was only about half a mile away, but he says it took him and his men a couple of hours to reach it.
"We started fanning out then, and everything broke lose. It was rough. Tanks had trouble getting from the ships to the beach, and some sank. Assault ships were sinking and men were drowning.
"There was heavy fire and light fire; machine guns and artillery and shelling."
By the end of June 6, the 101st had secured its objective (the beach exits) but had had 1300 casualties, with two-thirds of its men scattered and unaccounted for.
The whir of an occasional car on the road is the only sound heard in the room now. Arnold Vincent is silent, remembering events half a century ago that have stayed with him, that will never leave him. There are no more jokes or smiles; the awfulness of D-Day is washing over him once again.
He clears his throat and continues.
"But you know, I made it all the way through the war without a single scratch," he says brightly., "That's amazing. God was watching over me, that's the truth. I've never even had to apply for disability."
He lays a pocket-size New Testament Bible on the table, its brown leather cover worn at the corners, its delicate thin paper yellowing with age. Tapping it with his index finger, he says this is what protected him. Through Normandy. Through the Bastogne. Through all of World War II.
"This was given to me by the pastor of the church I was attending when I was drafted. I carried it with me always. And I was given this prayer, a prayer to St. Joseph." It reads:
"O, St. Joseph, whose protection is so efficacious and whose success before the throne of God is so prompt, I place in your blessed hands all my hopes, confidence in you, all my interests."
At the bottom of the page is added, "All who carried a copy of this prayer in the Civil War and World War I retur[n]ed without injury."
And a few from World War II, too.

The StartX Files: Chasing Them Naughty Blues
A bad week on the schoolyard.
This has not been a good week in the life of me. Some potential book contracts fell through, my friends are all getting laid off, and everyone is beating up on Linux like it's the geek in the schoolyard that's getting itching to get pummeled.
Oh, wait, that was last week's metaphor. Let me rummage though my metaphor file and see if I can come up with something new...
I have often been curious as to why Linux users put up with all of this crap. Over the lifespan of this column, I have described many incidents when people will quite pointedly argue against Linux when they get a hint that I am somehow involved with it. On days like that, the paranoids who think that Microsoft is paying everyone around them to be anti-Linux don't seem that far off. Of course, those same people think I am a Microsoft plant anyway, so there you go.
What really, truly interests me is the reason why we are all doing what we do. I mean, c'mon, let's face it, there's no deep hidden meaning to be found in any computer. It's a tool, which some use quite well. Why should we invest so much emotional capital into what essentially is a collection of metal, plastic, and a little silicon? More to the point, why are we so damn hung up on Linux?
Obvious answers come to mind: "Linux rocks!"; Linux rulez!"; and "Windoze sucks!" are the answers that come out with the spittle of the adolescents among us. In their minds, that's all the reason you need. And you know what? This works for them. Many of us could do well to recall the passions of our youth once in a while, when we were single-minded in our passions.
As we have gotten older, more rationales have to be employed. As waistlines expand and hairlines recede, single-minded passions evolve into something more complex and--if we're lucky--just as strong. Passions become beliefs, which in turn become ways of life. Sometimes these passions are misplaced and lost. I can remember a time when I thought Battlestar Galactica was the coolest show ever made. Now I see the reruns and wonder what the heck I was thinking. It was Dirk Benedict, for God's sake.
So what drives a passion for a computer operating system?
I had this conversation with a friend last Friday, and he pointed out that people involved in Linux, depending on when they were first exposed to it, catch a bug about it. They see something unique, something different that will set them apart from the rest of the world. It will even separate them from the other geeks they run with. This is a phenomenon that exists with other "fringe" operating systems, my friend stated. People went to Macs and OS/2 for the same reason.
Is, then, Linux a form of escapism for the die-hard advocates? A way of elevating their ultra-nerdiness to new and exciting levels?
Others would challenge this point of view, citing the intellectual thrill of working to bring a truly open source operating system to the world. This is a noble cause, one that will bring new freedoms to computer users everywhere. That's why it's such an important mission. Fighting the good fight is their primary reason for defending and advancing Linux.
Can't argue with that. In fact, you really don't want to, because often these people will get in your face until you admit that free or open source software is the Best Thing Ever. That's why I carry breath mints to give them.
This answer does not apply to everyone, however. How does a collection of code capture the attention of so many?
Here is what I think.
I don't think people who are Linux users are escaping away from something--they are running to something. Because Linux is something that represents more than just lines of code for people. Linux represents something that they can help build. From the developers who code the kernel to the beginning user who tentatively types out a bug report, everyone who has used Linux for any amount of time has the ability to help create something that is larger than anything they could have done on their own.
Sometimes, I get frustrated with the nay-sayers who start a sentence with "Linux will never do..." I bang my head against the wall when I see the trolls lurching through the talkbacks. I was certainly frustrated this week.
But then I was reminded in a small, personal way that something I once wrote played a helping hand in furthering Linux.
And that's what we are all seeking! A chance to create something new, something unique, and something bigger than ourselves. We are invested in the Linux cause because in one way or another, we are personally invested in Linux itself.
Does this make us all zealots? Perhaps. I would prefer the term "believers." We are believers in the thing that we have helped create, just by using it!
This is a state of mind that very few people involved with commercial software could ever have. They will likely have no personal involvement with their application or operating system. For them, the software on their computer will always be a tool and nothing more.
For us, whether you call us geeks, believers, zealots, or socially challenged, Linux and all the rest of the open source software is something we made. How could we not be proud of it?
Call this a sappy Hallmark moment if you must, but I sincerely believe that this reason is why Linux is never going to disappear. Maybe it will make it to the desktop, maybe not. Maybe it'll dominate the server market, maybe not. Maybe it'll take over embedded space and maybe it won't.
In the end, does it matter? Linux belongs to all of us and it will do well in whatever arena we send it. All it needs is a little time and a lot of care.
In the meantime?
Linux rulez!

Social movements sometimes grow slowly out of sight, like Mark's "seed growing secretly," and then burst forth suddenly with astonishing rightness, just made for the times. So it is with the Religious Campaign Against Torture (www.nrcat.org). George Hunsinger, a graduate school classmate of mine, is a soft-spoken philosophical theologian. A longtime student of the great Reformed theologian Karl Barth, he admired Barth's role in leading the Confessing Church, the breakaway branch of the German Protestant Church that resisted Hitler. I suspect his memory of Barth's heroic witness may have been the soil in which the seed of the Religious Campaign grew for the last 35 years.
Now a professor at Princeton Seminary, Hunsinger may never have imagined that one day he would himself be leading a social protest movement. But in mid-January he hosted a meeting for international lawyers, theologians and social activists at Princeton as a platform for launching the Religious Campaign Against Torture. In an interview following the conference, he told me that his preoccupation with torture began with revelations in 1970 of the "tiger cages" in which the North Vietnamese imprisoned captured Americans during the Vietnam War.
A decade later, in response to involvement of the C.I.A. and U.S. Special Forces in Central America, Hunsinger was active with American Christians for the Abolition of Torture. In the 1990's that group closed down, but after the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the resistance of the Bush Administration to reining in the use of torture, he set out to mobilize Christians against the practice. To his surprise, other religious groups, including Rabbis for Human Rights, were also eager to join in, and a broader coalition, the Religious Campaign Against Torture, was born.
Many Catholics are unaware of how outspoken church leaders have been in opposing the use of torture. Last fall officials of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops gave public testimony in support of the McCain amendment forbidding torture by the U.S. military. Following Pope Benedict XVI's message for the World Day of Peace on Jan. 1, Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said, "Torture is a humiliation of the human person, whoever it is. The Church does not allow these means to extract the truth." Lastly, on Jan. 12, the U.S.C.C.B. Committee on International Policy declared, "Our conference has supported Congressional efforts to prohibit cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment of persons and to provide uniform standards for the interrogation of persons under detention." While some at the Princeton meeting were critical of the alleged silence of the churches, participants from other churches and human rights groups went out of their way to tell me how important the U.S. bishops' contribution had been in advancing the McCain amendment prohibiting the use of torture.
It is reassuring to know that the church has been playing a role in this crucial effort. After all, since the time of Augustine the church had permitted government coercion, including torture, for repression of heresy and for affairs of state. It was only with Pope John XXIII's Pacem in Terris in 1963 that the church fully embraced human rights as its own. Then, in the 70's and 80's, much of the struggle for human rights was fought out in the so-called Catholic belt, especially Latin America and Eastern Europe. Finally, in 2000, Pope John Paul II put an end to theological rationalizations of torture, asking forgiveness "for the sins committed in the service of the Truth" including "the use of force." Recent statements opposing torture demonstrate that the defense of human rights remains high on the list of Catholic social-pastoral commitments.
George Hunsinger told me that the Religious Campaign Against Torture is seeking 100,000 signatures for its mission statement. In part, it reads, "Together we will work for the immediate cessation of torture by the United States, whether direct or by proxy, within our territory or abroad. We reject all proffered justifications and distorted definitions. Our condemnation of torture is not based on any political opinion.... Rather, we are guided by a higher law that serves as a compass for all of humanity." The group, Professor Hunsinger explains, designates itself "a campaign" to allow signers, whether private individuals, religious advocacy groups or denominations to participate on their own terms.
I believe that many Catholics long to see their leaders take a stand on all matters of morality, not just those relating to reproduction. I would like to hear bishops at the local level speak out strongly against the war, torture and killing. In some places they seem to be stuck with the "just war" paradigm and are focusing on "protecting marriage" by constitutional amendment, as if that is what any marriage really needs. One bishop recently made headlines by denying Communion to an autistic child.
Before we all go to the polls again, it would be great if the bishops could agree on how Christian values relate to our lives and how not to confuse the faithful through acts of commission or omission, such as denying the sacraments or failing to lead on matters that affect all.

Over recent months many of us have watched the events unfolding across North Africa, thought of the places mentioned, and stopped to remember their meaning for our family history.
Suez Harbour, 16 Nov 1940
W H E West Collection
Seventy years ago today my father, Private Wilfred West of the Royal Corps of Signals, was captured in Libya – at El Mechili (also known as Fort Mechili). He had arrived at Suez in November 1940. The events surrounding his capture were described by his Commanding Officer in a letter to my grandmother: 'In our recent withdrawal, I had kept behind with me a small party of men, of which your son was one. I had, of course, picked my best men to stay with me, as one does in a crisis. We withdrew at night, and I brought up the rear of our small convoy. It was very dark, and the roads were blocked with traffic. No one dropped out behind me. I can only conclude that the party he was with, went on ahead, and losing their way in the darkness, were captured by a German patrol. He was a good worker, and I always relied on him.'
My father, along with hundreds of other new Prisoners of War (POWs) arrived at Campo Prigionieri di Guerra (PG) 78, Fonte d'Amore, Sulmona on 15 May 1941, having travelled with hundreds of other men via Derna, Benghazi, and an Italian transit camp at Capua (Campo PG 66). The two groups of Allied generals captured during the same battle (6-8 April 1941), were transferred to Villa Orsini on the southern outskirts of Sulmona. They were sorted into huts of 42 men, and each allocated a single iron folding bed with sheets. They proceeded to organise themselves into 'combines' – a group of approximately six men – who for the next two and a half years would share their rations, Red Cross parcels and private parcels in order that they would survive the times ahead of them. Waves of men continued to arrive throughout 1941, necessitating the replacement of the single beds with wooden, immovable bunks, thereby doubling the numbers in each hut to 84.
Rations within the camp varied throughout the war and were supplemented by Red Cross and private parcels which usually began to arrive soon after coming into the camp – as soon as family and friends had an address – for example, those who arrived in May 1941 parcels received their first private parcels in September. The numbers and types of parcels varied over time and could be irregular: a feast or a famine – in the month of May 1943 over 8000 private parcels were received. However, when the parcel shortage corresponded with an Italian national ration cut of 60 per cent in March 1942, desperation was in the air and many diaries record the harsh experience of hunger and the loss of weight experienced by the prisoners.
As early as April 1943 rumours were rife throughout the camps about the fortunes of war: repatriation, battles and even the possibility of going home. There was jubilation with the announcement of the Italian Armistice on the evening of 8 September, and many prisoners left the camp over the ensuing days. Within a fortnight of the armistice 327 British and Commonwealth ex-prisoners had reached Allied lines. However, the majority of them were soon recaptured by German soldiers and returned to their camps, before their ultimate transfer to Germany and Poland for the remainder of the war. Many of those who survived, did so only because they were housed, fed and guided by dozens of extremely generous Italian people, at enormous risk to themselves. Indeed, many Italians were killed, deported or made destitute as a result of helping the prisoners of war.
Wilfred West, 1946
W H E West Collection
My father had travelled south through the Apennines for six weeks with a companion, dressed as a shepherd. On 27 October 1943, a cold and wet day, they were challenged by two young German soldiers near Lago di Scanno and recaptured. They were taken back the 75 kilometres to Campo PG102 (L'Aquila) where they were transferred to a train bound for Germany. On 10 Nov 1943 they arrived at Stalag VIIA at Moosberg, north of Munich, which was their base camp until General Patton's troops liberated the camp on 29 April 1945. Victory in Europe (VE) day was a truly happy day as they arrived in England and home to their families. The next months and years were a time of adjustment in many ways: emotions, food, return to jobs after years of comparative idleness, illness, rehabilitation and the final demobilization from the army.
Today many children and grandchildren of former prisoners of war are trying to discover the stories of their ancestors 'missing years'. As the prisoners have lived in the shadow of the camps, so too have their families lived in the shadow of their wartime experiences, spoken and unspoken.

Faulk, a Birmingham, Ala. native, scored the first two goals of his collegiate career - both game winners. He found the net in a 1-0 win on Friday against Oral Roberts, and a 1-0 win on Sunday against Marshall as the Bisons won the Belmont Invitational. The freshman, an undeclared major, came off the bench to score both goals and earned all-tournament team honors.
McGee, a sophomore goalkeeper, made two saves in Friday night's game with Oral Roberts for his first shutout of the season, a 1-0 decision. Oral Roberts had 10 shots in the game, two shots on goal. He also held Berry College to one goal in 110 minutes of action on Tuesday to help the Bison earn a 1-1 tie. On the week, McGee, a Parkersburg, W.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Valparaiso Restaurant Subjected Female Employee to Abuse, Federal Agency Charged
INDIANAPOLIS – Gaucho's Brazilian Steakhouse, Inc., in Valparaiso, Ind., violated federal law by allowing a female employee to be sexually harassed, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today. The EEOC also alleged that the employee was forced to resign from employment due to the severity of the harassment.
The suit, EEOC v. Gaucho's Brazilian Steakhouse, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:11-CV-294, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division, charged that the company violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex.
The EEOC is seeking compensatory and punitive damages against the company, as well as other relief, including a permanent injunction to prevent the company from engaging in further sexual harassment or any employment practice that discriminates on the basis of sex. The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"Employees should not have to tolerate unwanted sexual conduct as a condition of employment," said Laurie A. Young, regional attorney of the EEOC's Indianapolis District Office. "Employees should not feel compelled to quit their jobs to avoid being harassed. The EEOC will vigorously prosecute employers who engage in this type of misconduct."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov. The EEOC's Indianapolis Office is located at 101 W. Ohio Street, Suite 1900.

Halise_diamond needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 27 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Halise and Andrew's Wedding
We are Halise and Andrew, and engaged couple living in Phoenix, Arizona. We are excited to be tying the knot on May 29, 2011. Your help is needed to personalize our classic and elegant black and white wedding.
The bride (that's me) loves the damask design pattern, and I would love to have a pattern that is personalized. I envision a pattern that is classic but when examined closely has our initials, H & A, incorporated into the pattern. My dress has black lace on the bottom that has a flower motif. I was hoping that the lace could be an inspiration for the design. The design will be used as a repeating damask pattern on the invitations, save the dates, and thank yous. The main element in the design will be used as a stand along graphic/logo for other items such as the wedding cake. The design is meant to be classic and eye appealing without being too busy. Black print on white background is preferred.

Roomex saves on average 21% on hotel spend. We give you immediate visibility and control over the hotel booking process with our fast and easy to use online booking tool.
And, there's No Cost, No Contract, No Fees!
Dealing with Roomex has been a pleasure. Right from the start, since before going live, they have been extremely professional in both their approach and delivery. Nothing has been too much trouble – they have met with us, listened to our needs and made changes accordingly. I was very impressed with Roomex's commitment and the turnaround time of the project from start to finish. From an operational point of view, Roomex for Business is a seamless online booking tool, personalised for our business, staff and preferences. Roomex go a long way to ensure that we are getting the best rates and by rate comparing every single booking, they are not only measuring the savings we make, but also ensuring that we never pay over the odds. As experts in their field, they have allowed Musgrave to bring our accommodation spend under control and proactively manage it more effectively and efficiently. On top of this, their customer service is simply exceptional. I cannot recommend Roomex highly enough.
Sisk Group has been working with Roomex for Business for over a year now and it has completely transformed our hotel booking process. Previously - we received 60-70 invoices a month from hotels all over Europe; now we receive just one! Plus the one invoice we do receive includes line by line detail of every hotel booking, by guest, already allocated to its appropriate cost centre as Roomex has built this into the booking process. We also have access to live reporting, save considerably on our spend and can ring Roomex if ever we need help looking for hotels. I have no hesitation in recommending Roomex, it not only saves us time and money but it gives us complete visibility and control.
We have been using Roomex for our hotel bookings since October 2015 and our average savings are 23% which I am more than delighted with. The booking system is flawless and so easy and quick to use. We have saved precious minutes and sometimes even hours by not having to shop around to find the best prices. Any queries are answered in minutes with exceptional levels of customer service. I look forward to continuing to work with Roomex in the future.
We have just started using Roomex for Business and we're extremely happy. Its very easy to use, speeds up our booking process and gives us full visibility so that we can control our hotel spend. Roomex are always quick to respond and they have helped us with larger bookings also, saving us time as well as money. We look forward to growing the relationship.
We use Roomex.com for Business as our hotel booking portal as it offers us an online booking solution that suits our business needs. Self-booking, self-cancel, live reporting and no booking fees. Roomex also measure our cost savings on the same day that we book which feeds through to our live reports. Their Costs Saving performance has been excellent with annual savings of 30% for the past 2 years, which, for an organisation of our size, is very significant. We have developed a strong relationship with their team and have full confidence when we make bookings for our staff, with excellent phone support if ever there is an issue.
Kirby Group began working with Roomex in early 2014 and I have to say that they have improved our hotel booking process by tenfold. Previously, our receptionists would have to search for hotels across Ireland/UK/Europe by themselves, often under time pressure and trying to find a nice, decent priced hotel was a constant challenge for them. Roomex have taken over this pressure and their excellent live reporting facilities as well as the ease with which we can allocate costs to individual projects, has saved us time and money. Their customer service is excellent, and they are always eager to meet whatever demands we may have. All in all, an excellent company.
The Chanelle Group have been booking their accommodation with Roomex for years. They have consistently provided us with value for money for hotel bookings worldwide. They have a "can do" approach to customer service and provide us with a customisable system that is easy to use and that captures all the correct data. Their customer service is so efficient that it is second to none.

Sept. 13, 2012 -- Americans are scrimping to pay for their prescription medications, and some are playing dangerous games with their health as a result.
More than 80% of Americans who don't have prescription drug coverage are not filling their prescriptions, skipping medical tests, passing on doctor's appointments because of cost, or cutting corners elsewhere, a new Consumer Reports poll shows.
Nearly half of the adults polled did not fill a prescription because of cost in the past year, compared with 27% last year. This is the fourth year that Consumer Reports conducted the poll, and things seem to be getting worse.
"The jump from one year to the next was massive, bordering on a crisis," says Lisa Gill. She is the editor of prescription drugs for Consumer Reports in Yonkers, N.Y.
The telephone poll showed that 46% of U.S. adults take prescriptions drugs. The average number of drugs is 4.1. And it's not just the elderly who take multiple prescriptions. One quarter of people aged 18 to 39 take two prescription medications, the poll showed.
According to the poll, because of cost:
- 62% of people declined a medical test.
- 45% did not fill a prescription.
- 63% delayed a doctor's appointment.
- 51% skipped a medical procedure.
Others spent less on groceries, their family, and/or put off paying bills to pay for their medications.
Extreme Couponing for Prescription Drugs
These penny-pinching moves may have serious health consequences, Gill says. People with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure or asthma who need to take several medications may be putting themselves at risk by skimping on their drugs, she says. Untreated high blood pressure is a major risk factor for stroke and heart attack.
But there are certain things people can do to keep costs in check without sacrificing their health, she says.
For starters, always ask the prescribing doctor about cost and whether there is a generic or an equivalent medication with a generic version, Gill says. Your pharmacist can also assist you with this type of information. Generic drugs cost less and work as well as the brand name drug. In most states, pharmacists must substitute generic drugs for brand name drugs unless the prescribing doctor tells them to do otherwise.
All retail drug stores have a discount generic drug program. "This is a good place to start, and you don't need insurance to participate," Gill says. Some programs are free and others have minimal costs.
Manufacturers also have assistance programs to help offset drug costs. "Read the fine print," she says. "Many expire or have limits, so if the medication is something you will be taking for years, this may only be a short-term solution."
Harry Schiavi heads a New York City-based consulting firm that deals with reimbursement of prescription drugs. As such, these are issues he grapples with daily.
Don't sell the drug companies short, he says. "There may be an awareness issue with regard to the amount of assistance that manufacturers are providing to patients for their pharmacy costs," he says. "As insurance co-pays are going up for insured consumers, some pharmaceutical companies are increasing the eligibility levels for patient out-of-pocket assistance."
Pill Splitting Not Always OK
Randy Wexler, MD, says the new poll findings mirror what he sees and hears in his practice. He is an associate professor of family medicine and the vice chair of clinical affairs at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in Columbus.
"I had one patient who would not see a specialist due to cost, even though a test suggested they had cancer," he says. And "every day someone asks if they need to take all of their prescribed medications due to cost."
This is not just affecting senior citizens. "This is more common in the elderly, but we are seeing it more and more in younger individuals because the cost of health care has gotten so high," he says.
Wexler has a social worker on staff that spends the biggest chunk of her day price-shopping for patients. "We know that the lower the drug costs, the higher the compliance," he says. "There are times we have to say, 'This is your condition, this is the money you have to work with, this is what can be forgone.'"
Some people may split pills to save money. This is not always OK. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before splitting pills," he says. And "it's never OK to take medication prescribed to someone else."

Lisle, Illinois ~ Back by popular demand, the Plain White T's will headline Benedictine University's BenFest 2013 festivities on Saturday, August 24.
Recording artist and first season finalist on NBC's "The Voice," Vicci Martinez will open the concert at the Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex. Her latest self-titled album includes the single, "Come Along," featuring Grammy winner Cee Lo Green.
Tickets go on sale Monday, July 15 and can be purchased at www.ben.edu/BenFest. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. Buyers will have the choice between football stadium seating or standing-room-only tickets along the stadium track.
The Plain White T's were founded in 1997 – 10 years before their Grammy-nominated single "Hey There Delilah" put them on the musical map. Lead singer Tom Higgenson, who lives in Elmhurst, was playing drums in various high school bands when he met bassist Ken Fletcher. The two became friends and launched their own band with Dave Tirio taking over on drums.
The band's current roster features Higgenson on vocals, Willowbrook High School graduate Tirio on rhythm guitar and backup vocals, Austin, Texas, product Tim Lopez on guitars, Bucktown resident De'Mar Hamilton on drums and Chicagoan Mike Retondo on bass.
"Hey There Delilah" was the group's breakout hit, gaining steam in late 2006 and early 2007, eventually topping the charts in 10 countries by summer 2007. It was the first drumless song to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in years. In 2008, the band released "Big Bad World," a return-to-roots effort.
The single "Rhythm of Love," off the band's sixth album, "Wonder of the Younger," made its debut at No. 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart.
The band's newest EP was released on April 9 and includes four songs, "Should've Gone to Bed," "The Giving Tree," "Helium" and "Haven't Told Her."
The concert begins at 7:00 p.m. Gates open at 6:00 p.m.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 55 undergraduate majors and 15 graduate and four doctoral programs. Benedictine University is ranked No. 1 among the country's fastest-growing campuses between 2000-2010 in The Chronicle of Higher Education's list of private nonprofit research institutions, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the second consecutive year in 2012. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fifth largest in the Chicago area in 2012.

You show a sealed prediction envelope and hand a deck of cards to a spectator for examination and to shuffle. You have an elegant stand with four colored sections. Let the spectator place four cards in each section. Remove the cards from three of the sections by the choice of the spectator. Now you have only one section left with four cards. Allow the spectator to place the four remaining cards in the four different sections, remove three of them showing them all to be different. And the remaining card, the Last Card, matches of course the card in the sealed prediction envelope.
Easy to perform, yet a strong effect.

Great stocking stuffer!
No more silent but deadly. No more dutch ovens. No one will wonder who dealt it. A British company is producing underwear that can filter out the smell of farts. Shreddies, Ltd., a company in Loughborough, U.K., has used the same science that goes into chemical warfare suits to offer men's and women's underwear that can handle up to 200 times the noxious odour of the average flatulence. The science part comes from a layer of activated carbon cloth, called Zorflex, in the back panel of the underwear. This specially-designed cloth has a microporous structure, giving it a very large surface area. Apparently, just one gram of this cloth has a total surface area equivalent to half the size of a football field.

Einterz 3rd, Waterman 6th at Nationalsby Brent Harris • May 28, 2011 Share:
Senior Seth Einterz saved the best race of his career for his last, nearly winning the 5,000 meters at the 2011 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Einterz finished third overall to earn All-America honors, joining teammate Jake Waterman, who finished sixth in the 800 meters.
View photos from the final day of competition here.
Einterz stayed with the lead pack early, eventually taking the front spot late in the race. He finished with a time of 14:43.21, two seconds off the winning time.
"Everyone went out really slow, " Einterz said. "The 5k is a strategy race. I knew it was going to be a slow race because it was hot and a lot of the guys in the race were doubling. I just tucked in with the lead pack and just held on. It wasn't a fast time. A lot of those guys in the field have gone a lot faster. I was just smarter and got into an All-American spot."
"Seth believed in himself and in our coaching staff in as far as listening to how a race develops and what to do to put himself in position to have a great race," Assistant Coach Roger Busch said. "He was one of the last guys in the race and he came out third. It was a tremendous effort."
"Seth was loose all week," Head Coach Clyde Morgan said. "He went after this race and kept grinding and grinding until the finish. What a way to end your career, to finish third at nationals."
Waterman was also in front of the pack for most of the 800 before a small group of runners made a move late in the race. He finished with a time of 1:53.25 to add outdoor All-America honors to his career totals. He took indoor All-America awards in 2010 and 2011 in the indoor 800.
"Jake's not happy with his effort today, but I'm proud of him," Morgan said. "He said he surged one too many times early in the race, He's just a sophomore running in his first outdoor national meet, but he was able to recognize what he did. It just wasn't his time yet, but there is no doubt in my mind it will happen."
"I went out fast until about 300 meters," Waterman said. "Then I went a little slower than I needed to. At that point I kind of got lost in traffic and couldn't really do what I wanted to.
"It's good to get the All-American titles, but I must say I'm a bit disappointed because I felt like I was in contention for the win. I think in a week or two it will sink in, but right now I just don't feel as happy about it as I should."
Eintez and Waterman join Kevin McCarthy, who finished fifth in the 3000-meter steeplechase Friday night, as 2011 Outdoor Track and Field All-Americans. The total equals the best effort by the Little Giants at any track meet, tying the three All-America awards during the 2010 indoor championship meet.

The Sonoma County coroner's office has identified a pedestrian who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Santa Rosa on Wednesday as 64-year-old George Michael Black of Pacifica.
Black was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:15 p.m., and an autopsy is scheduled for Friday, a coroner's office spokeswoman said.
Officers responded to the collision in the 3600 block of Montgomery Drive at 1:08 p.m. and found Black on the side of the road.
While officers were responding they were informed the driver had left, Sgt. Mike Numainville said.
Witnesses said the male victim was struck by a light-colored newer model Mercedes Benz sedan driven by a white Hispanic male in his 30s with dark hair, he said.
The car was last seen heading east on Montgomery Drive, possibly with front-end damage.
Montgomery Drive was closed until around 5 p.m. while police investigated the collision.

In my version of Yu Xiang Qie Zi, I cut down on eggplant frying time - and oil - by zapping them in the microwave. Some people like to salt the eggplant for a good while before cooking them -- this accomplishes the same goal by extracting water -- but I'm too impatient and last minute for that! All in all, a fairly quick, simple dish that packs a lot of flavor.

Emojean Taulbee
April 25, 2013
KNOX — Emojean Taulbee, 77, of Knox, passed away Thursday, April 25, 2013 at Porter Regional Hospital, Valparaiso.
Emojean was born Jan. 13, 1936 in McLaughlin County, Kentucky to Ham and Pruda Cole, both preceded her in death.
On Aug. 13, 1960, Emojean married James Taulbee in Knox, Indiana.
Emojean worked at Walker Manufacturing in Culver before her retirement.
She was a woman of devout faith, who loved spending time with her family — her children and grandchildren were the light of her life.
Emojean loved the simple life. She was a great southern cook, who enjoyed dishing up heaping helpings of home-cooked goodies for anyone who was fortunate enough to stop by.
Games were also one of Emojean's favorite pastimes. She was an avid Bingo player, who regularly attended Bingo at places across the county. Emojean was also a member of a Bunco club for many years.
Family would often gather at the home of Emojean and her late husband, James to spend countless hours pitching horseshoes, sitting around a bonfire, grilling out or playing euchre. Their door was always open to family and friends.
Camping, fishing, and spending time with family at reunions or gatherings along the Tippecanoe are among the many things that Emojean enjoyed doing.
Emojean was a kind, giving woman who had a great sense of humor — she will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
A testament of the love Emojean inspired is best reflected in the last words her son James shared with her: "I'm going to love you forever; and I am glad God gave me to you."
Emojean is survived by her children: James (Cheryl) Taulbee, of Knox; Howard (Becky) Taulbee of Monticello; Kevin (Renee) Taulbee of Monticello; Jeanne (Chad) Haddix of Gardner, Kansas; and Pamela (Adam) Messer of Knox; 18 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren; Brothers: Israel (Verna) Cole of Knox and Daniel (and the late Flossie) Cole, of Knox; countless nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, great-great nieces and great-great nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ham and Pruda Cole; her husband, James; siblings: Ishmel Cole, Ruth Collins, Ruby Montgomery, Arpha Fletcher, and Beatrice Richie; two grandchildren: Christina Marie Messer and Tyler Matthew Taulbee.
Visitation will be held Sunday, April 28 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Braman & Son Memorial Chapel, Knox.
Funeral services will be held Monday, April 29 at 1 p.m. at the funeral home.
Emojean will be laid to rest next to her husband James in Highland Cemetery, North Judson.

Ian Poulter eliminated from World Match Play
KAVARNA, Bulgaria (AP) — Ian Poulter was eliminated from the World Match Play Championship after losing another round-robin match Friday.
Poulter lost to Thomas Aiken, 1 up, at the Thracian Cliffs course when he bogeyed the last hole after missing the fairway.
"I have no excuses," Poulter said. "There is no excuse for that display of golf over the last two days. It's disgusting, disgraceful and there's no explanation. I should have been able to finish the match off."
Poulter lost to Thongchai Jaidee on Thursday. On Friday morning, Jaidee beat Aiken, 1 up.
Jaidee is one of only four players to win both early matches, joining Francesco Molinari, Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Scott Jamieson.
Fernandez-Castano beat Jamie Donaldson on Friday and then defeated Brett Rumford, 3 and 2.
Rumford won his opening match earlier in the day, beating Jamie Donaldson, 5 and 3.
"Jamie got off to a bit of a bad start and I just capitalized on that with three birdies in my first four holes to be 3 up and that really was the key," Rumford said.
Richard Sterne also ensured his advancement by defeating former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, 5 and 4, while defending champion Nicolas Colsaerts recovered from his first round loss, beating Kiradeck Aphibarnrat, 3 and 2.
"It played a little better today but there are still a few loose shots in my game, but I needed to win so I guess it's mission accomplished," Colsaerts said. "But hey, I'm in a better spot this year than compared to this time last year when I managed to go through to the last 16 with just a draw from my first two matches."

It is with great sadness I report Gary Carter passed away a little over an hour ago.
"I am deeply saddened to tell you all that my precious dad went to be with Jesus today at 4:10 pm.," daughter Kimmy Bloemers posted on the family's website. "This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to write in my entire life but I wanted you all to know. He is in heaven and has reunited with his mom and dad. I believe with all my heart that dad had a STANDING OVATION as he walked through the gates of heaven to be with Jesus."
Carter was diagnosed with four brain tumors last May, but several new tumors were found in January.
Carter was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 after retiring in 1992. In 19 seasons, he hit .262 average, with 324 home runs and 1,225 RBI and was an 11-time All-Star.
"When you think of the great baseball field generals, you think Gary Carter," Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson said in a statement. "He ran the game from behind the plate with strong leadership and passion. The Kid's contribution to our national pastime is big, but his heart was even bigger. We'll always remember his caring way, ever-present smile and strong devotion to family, community and the Baseball Hall of Fame."
Carter was an integral member of the 1986 World Series championship team. He handled the pitching staff with a firm hand and was clutch when the Mets needed a hit with the game on the line.
The Mets just released this statement: "On behalf of everyone at the Mets, we extend our deepest and heartfelt condolences to Gary's family — his wife Sandy, daughters Christy and Kimmy and son D.J. His nickname 'The Kid' captured how Gary approached life. He did everything with enthusiasm and with gusto on and off the field. His smile was infectious. He guided our young pitching staff to the World Series title in 1986 and he devoted an equal amount of time and energy raising awareness for a multitude of charities and community causes. He was a Hall of Famer in everything he did."
I'll always remember Carter on the field as a clutch hitter, but off it I'll remember his smile, his sense of humor and his accommodating nature to myself and other reporters. I always checked him on my Hall of Fame ballot and was pleased with he was finally inducted.
Rest in peace, Gary.

Hilde Hemmes Traditional Tea Fenugreek Seed 100g
Botanical name: Trigonella foenum-graecum
- Superior quality herb.
- Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
- No artificial colours, preservatives, caffeine, gluten, sugars or lactose.
Fenugreek seeds are used for the treatment of wounds, abscesses, arthritis, bronchitis, and digestive problems. Hilde Hemmes Fenugreek Seeds Traditional Herbal Tea also has many medicinal properties for diabetes, asthma and allergies.
Over thousands of years, humans have discovered which plants have beneficial value, which may be used as food, and which should be avoided. This vital information has been recorded in ancient herbal manuscripts and passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation.
Today, many people are excited to rediscover the fascinating history of herbs and to enjoy their beneficial properties. Enjoying traditional herbal teas is one way that people can reconnect with the past and appreciate just how much nature has to offer.
Over the years I have collected many rare, out-of-print books on herbs and their uses, and have discovered many valuable recipes and ancient formulae that may otherwise have been forgotten.
Herb teas do not contain true tea leaves, but the carefully selected flowers, berries, peels, seeds, leaves and roots of selected herbal plants. These parts of the herbal plants are chosen for their natural aromatic actives and special flavours.
Using herbs to care for yourself and your family is an empowering experience - it allows you to tap into the power of nature. I know you will enjoy the positive contribution that herbs can make in your life.
Herbal teas are best stored at about 20ºC, away from direct sunlight and in a dry environment.
Dosage of Hilde Hemmes Fenugreek Seeds Traditional Herbal Tea
Traditionally, a hot infusion is one of the simplest ways to prepare most dried herbs for use as a tea. To prepare each hot infusion, take one heaped teaspoonful of the herbs and pour one cup of boiling water over them. Cover the cup with a lid or saucer. Allow the mixture to steep for 3-5 minutes and strain before using.
A decoction is the method used for herbs such as roots, bark, twigs and berries. To prepare a decoction, take one heaped teaspoonful of herbs and place them in a saucepan with one cup of cold water. Bring the mixture to the boil, simmer for 10-15 minutes (longer if the roots are very hard) and strain before drinking.
If not using the tea straight away, you can store Hilde Hemmes Fenugreek Seeds Traditional Herbal Tea in a covered jug or container in the fridge for up to 24 hours and gently warm the mixture before drinking

If you are curious about biological processes and enjoy puzzle solving, designing experiments or working with numbers and computers, there are many exciting opportunities for you in biophysics.
Biophysicists use the methods of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology to study how living organisms work. They investigate how the brain processes and stores information, the heart pumps blood, muscles contract, plants use light in photosynthesis, genes are switched on and off and many other questions. Other kinds of scientists, including physiologists, cell and molecular biologists, geneticists and biochemists, also work on these problems; however, biophysicists are especially interested in the physics and physical chemistry of biological processes and make far greater use of quantitative measurements and analysis.
Biophysicists work in universities, industry, medical centers, research institutes and government. Women and minorities are actively being recruited. For more information about some of these opportunities, see the Careers in Biophysics brochure.

Goiter was first noted in the Great Lakes region; the "goiter belt" included that area and the midwestern and Plains states. In the 1930s, approximately 40 percent of the people in Michigan had goiter, due mainly to iodine-deficient soil; glacier melting had washed away the iodine. Areas by oceans or in the vicinity of ocean breezes usually contain enough iodine to prevent goiters. In 1924, iodine was added to table salt, a substance that was already in wide use (our salt problem has been going on for a long time). Iodized salt was first introduced in Michigan; by 1940, it was in general use. Even today, iodine deficiency is still a problem, and many people in the United States have goiter. Cretinism, another condition caused by iodine deficiency, is characterized by mental retardation and other problems. It may be present in iodine-deficient babies or children born to women who are lacking iodine. It is a serious and nonreversible problem that should be avoided by proper iodine intake.
Iodine itself is a poisonous gas, as are the related halogens chlorine, fluorine, and bromine. However, as with chlorine, the salts or negatively charged ions of iodine (iodides) are soluble in water, and iodine is essential to life in trace amounts. Plants do not need iodine, but humans require it for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate the metabolic energy of the body and set the basal metabolic rate (BMR).
The body contains about 25 mg. of iodine. A small percentage of this is in the muscles,
20 percent is in the thyroid, and the rest is in the skin and bones. Only 1 percent is present in the blood. The concentration of iodine in the thyroid gland is very high, more than 1,000 times that in the muscles. Approximately one-fourth of thyroid iodine is in the two main thyroid hormones, T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). Thyroxine itself is nearly two-thirds iodine. The remainder is in the precursor molecules of these two important hormones.
Iodine is well absorbed from the stomach into the blood. About 30 percent goes to the thyroid gland, depending on the need. Iodine is eliminated rapidly. Most of the remaining 70 percent is filtered by the kidneys into the urine. Our bodies do not conserve iodine as they do iron, and we must obtain it regularly from the diet. There is recent concern that perhaps iodine is being overconsumed, especially in iodized salt. The incidence of goiter has been rising again, however, so there may be factors other than iodine involved in this problem.
Sources: The life from ocean waters provides the best source of iodine. Fish, shellfish, and sea vegetables (seaweed) are dependably rich sources. Cod, sea bass, haddock, and perch are a few examples of iodine-rich sea animals consumed by humans; kelp is the most common, high-iodine sea vegetable. Kelp in particular is rich in other minerals and low in sodium and thus is a good seasoning substitute for salt.
