The restaurants, bars, mosque and shops are just a short distance away in the 18th century village of Kadikalesi.
There is a dolmus bus that runs regularly into all the local Villages including Gumusluk renowned for its fish restaurants. There is also a taxi rank nearby in the village.
The Area
The villa is centrally located approximately 5/10 minutes walk to the beach and the centre of Kadikalessi.There are Restaurants and Shops within the village of Kadikalessi
Turgurteis 10 minutes by bus/car where you will find many restaurants, bars, shops and banks.
The recently built multimillion pound harbour in Turgutries is beautifull it has a Cinema and multiple designer shops. There is a luxury leisure complex in it. which has a large outdoor pool area, tennis courts, health suites, bar, restaurants etc. It is The Designer end of town!
From the harbour you can take a boat trip to the Greek Island of Kos
The town of Turgutreis is situated at the furthest tip of the historic Bodrum Peninsula with fantastic sunsets overlooking a view of ornamental islands on the horizon.
Named after the famous admiral, Turgutreis, this is a town in its own right and combines a compact town centre with several long sandy beaches.
Wind surfers favour this part of the coast, as the winds are generally stronger,making it ideal during the hot summer months.
The Bodrum Peninsula is small and it is very easy to travel to all the other small towns. For those who are adventurous the area has an excellent bus service called dolmus. These are new reliable mini- buses and offer services all day to Gumusluk and Bodrum with connections to all other towns often for less than a pound.
Gumusluk, a favourite peninsula village, is close by. Its position on the site of the ancient city of Myndos has ensured that no large scale development has been allowed.
Gumusluk is a fine place for snorkelling, in the calm waters of the sheltered bay. Various sunken ruins can be found here and there is a causeway, sometimes above water, sometimes below, to Rabbit Island where almost tame rabbits run around.
To one side of the headland is a sandy beach with beach side restaurants and sun beds and a short walk through the little lanes with craft stalls and grocery shops will bring you to the other side where the famous fish restaurants, with their tempting displays of locally caught fish, are perched right on the shoreline.
A small Byzantine church above the beach is now a cultural centre with a regular programme of concerts and exhibitions.
No other area on the Turkish Aegean coast provides the visitor with the opportunity to experience traditional Turkish life only a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of a modern tourist centre. One of the unique features of Bodrum as a holiday resort is the combination of daytime activities, tranquil bays, beaches & villages to enjoy and the Bodrum nightlife.
Further Information
The most prominent feature of Bodrum is the castle of St. Peter. The castles origins date back to the knights of St. John. Under Turkish care the castle has undergone several uses including being a military base, a prison and a public bath. But now it is one of the finest museums in this region
Gümbet Only 2-3 km away from Bodrum The popularity of Gümbet has generated serious nightlife and the streets of Gümbet vibrate till dawn with the music from numerous bars, discos and street side-cafes
This little village is hiding in a charming little bay. North of Bodrum It is only active during the summer months is a pleasant and relaxed place to visit.
There are also the remains of a Byzantine monastery, Ferries to Didim leave from Torba harbor across the Gulf of Güllük.
Ephesus is the best-preserved classical city on the Mediterranean, and perhaps the best place in the world to get the feeling for what life was like in Roman times. As a strategic coastal gateway to the Eastern World, this Ionian refuge grew to be the second largest city in the Roman Empire. Legend has it that the Virgin Mary, accompanied by St. Paul, came to Ephesus at the end of her life, circa 37-45 AD. In 1967 Pope Paul VI visited the site, where a chapel now stands, and confirmed the authenticity of the legend. Also the Basilica of St. John is located near Ephesus. St. John is said to have lived the last years of his life here and after his death, a shrine was located over his grave.
Pamukkale, this is a beautiful and spectacular natural site, unique in the world with its fairy-like, dazzling white, petrified cascade. The thermal waters have been used since Roman times for their therapeutic powers.

Hoorah! The grandkids are coming for Christmas! We're going to have sooo much fun that I want to do as much ahead of time as possible. What is the best way to make dinner rolls ahead of time? I've looked at some brown & serve recipes. How would you go about freezing? shape the rolls and freeze? partially bake then freeze? How about sweet cinnamon rolls?
Thanks, Nana

Hello friends. Visitors this weekend may have noticed that we had a brief interruption in service on Sunday. It looks like our host suspended us because we were hammering their database server. We were overdue for some database optimization and we should be back up and running fine now.
We will be working on some scripting and caching improvements that should help us avoid issues like this in the future and maybe even speed up page load times a little for you guys. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

This book contains 150 monochromatic (black-and-white) images. The subjects vary from dogs, cats, monkeys and apes to birds and people. The absence of color serves to eliminate a visual distraction, permitting the observer to concentrate on composition and detail, shadow and highlight, pattern and texture, composition and tonality. Each image tells its own visual story.
I was born and raised in Bergen County, New Jersey. I earned my B.S. and M.A. + degrees from Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey. I worked in marine biological research at Columbia University, and taught biology and honors biology in a large regional high school in northern New Jersey. Wildlife photography has been my avocation all of my adult life. In the early '70s, I made a 16 mm film on ecosystem dynamics for use in my classroom. This was a sabbatical project, and I lived in Nairobi, Kenya for a year during the shooting of the film. Since retiring to Sarasota, Florida in 1994, I have been traveling, with my wife Pat, to Central and South America and Europe, where I have done considerable photography. Many of my photos are posted at http://www.pbase.com/larrywlinton.

Introduction to Mining Robots
Robotic Systems in Mines
Mining Robots – Products in Market
Robotic Conveyor Contaminant Removal System from Machinery Automation and Robotics (MAR)
ZeroG from Equipois
AutoMine System from Sandvik
The advancement of robotics and the large-scale use of robots have increased the need for computer simulation of robots.
Researchers are also designing new robots, conducting task planning of existing robots, cycle time estimation and performance evaluation. In the mining scenario, both underground and opencast mining require application of robotics. Robots can do jobs such as laying explosives, moving underground after mining to stabilize a mine roof or mining in places where it is not possible for humans to work or even to survive.
Examples of robots used in mining operations include:
Robotic technology is in high demand in underground mines for the following applications:
The Groundhog robot developed by graduate students in Carnegie Mellon's mobile robot development class in 2010 includes a cart that is provided with four two-dimensional laser range finders. These provide data about the cross section of the mine ahead of the vehicle and also the ceiling and ground structure. The robot is provided with two 2D laser range finders, one forward-facing for 2D mapping and the other facing the ceiling for 3D mapping. It will be more beneficial if the robots are provided with inertial sensors or odometers to determine vehicle location relative to their entry.
In 2006, the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) Newmont Mining Corporation and the BobCat company, an Ingersoll Rand business, developed a novel human-robot control architecture for surface mining operations in which synchronous movement of a number of machine links is required. The main concept behind this new robot-human control interaction is to offer real time support by automatically coordinating the machine joints motion.
The machine kinematics is transformed by this new control architecture to the most suitable one for a specific task and the machine's control computer is trained to operate a synchronous movement pattern.
The Robotic Idler Predict, a six-axis robot manipulator from MAR is mounted on a moving track. The robot manipulator is equipped with sensors and capable of automatic positioning of the sensing arms at specific locations of a conveyor.
The robotic idler Predict monitors conveyor idler rollers to determine signs of roller failure. Thermal imaging data from each idler to this robot is taken and presented to the operating system for analysis.
The system will trigger an alarm to warn operators if there are any signs of impending roller failure. Data collected by Predict can be utilized for the identification of conveyor idlers requiring replacement immediately or as part of future maintenance plans.
The contaminant removal system from MAR can operate while the conveyor is online. The MAR allows for collection of tramp metals. The advantages of this system include:
The ZeroG from Equipois is an extension of one's body that enables the operator to maneuver heavy parts and tools as if it had no weight. A zeroG system comprises of:
ZeroG robotic arm for grinding, sanding and drilling by Equipois.
The AutoMine system from Sandvik is a complete solution for enhancing safety and efficiency of underground mining operations. The Automine is an open and versatile system that can used for the distinct requirements of each underground mining operation. The system can be combined with SCADA and production planning systems for better integration with the processes and system for the control of underground mining operations.
The advantages of the AutoMine system are:

OK so we have a little bungalow booked from this place -> Holiday Bungalows at Rosecraddoc Lodge, Liskeard, Cornwall, UK
I can't recommend this place enough. But more of that later...
Saturday 23rd May
Adrian insisted we would be on the road by 7am today. First reaction was but I found myself on the sofa drinking coffee at 5.30am and Steven woke at 6am because he was excited. We had the car loaded, remembering to pack the dog and we pulled away from our house at 6.56am precisely.
Steven saw the selection of travelling sweets in the car and announced that he was "a mint guy" and helped himself to a polo.
Five minutes down the road and Adrian mistimes some traffic lights and has to slam the brakes on resulting in the dog shooting off the back seat. Luckily she was wearing her car harness or I would have been extremely likely to give him a sound thrashing but I let him off with a light and promised Willow I would hold on to her everytime he had to brake.
At 7.15am I scream "STOP" and Adrian pulls over and waits while I locate and sign the log for the cache outside Arundel hospital.
We overtook our first caravan around Portsmouth. Of course the stupid thing was snaking all over both lanes so it was a bit of a gairy manoeuvre getting past it. .
8am - Southampton
9am - Ringwood, after pausing briefly at Rownham services to empty dog and recaffeinate big humans. Small human had apple juice and a chocklit muffin.
10am - Bridport.
Roads now full of stupid caravans and motor home thingys all driving at 30mph because they're being towed by a stupid 1.6 Ford Focus. Was so busy shaking my fist at caravans and retuning the radio I drove straight past a planned cache stop.
Nearly got run off road somewhere in Dorset by a truck driver who doesn't understand the rules of the roundabout. Luckily I was driving at the time so the doggle remained firmly in her seat.
Quick wee stop for dog and humans.
Passed Archie's house at 10.50am. It's no longer pink and is now a putrid shade of terracotta.
By 11am I'm bored. We hit the M5 at Exeter and - oh that's where all the traffic is. Strange lane set up means some cars are trying to go left across 3 lanes to exit to the services and the Devon Show and other cars are trying to go right across 3 lanes to get on to the M5. We were part of the latter group and it took about 30 minutes to do a couple of miles.
Midday stop at Okehampton for drinks and to consume our picnic - yes there was fruit in it.
We reached Cornwall at 12.55pm.
Stopped at Liskeard for milk and some fruit supplies and some pasties for tea.
Drove up to bungalow place and found our little home for the week. Had phoned the owners in the week to get the code for the key box so we could just let ourselves in when we arrived.
Sitting room area
Steven's room
Main bedroom
It was all very nice and clean and very well equipped. The location is lovely. There's not even a reception place at the park - it's very secluded and perfect for a quiet base. And of course the doggle is welcome. Most of the bungalows available to rent are dog friendly and I saw a couple equipped for wheelchair access too.
Oh and this was waiting for us when we arrived.
As you can see it went down very well.
That was it for the first day. Just unpacked, took the dog for a walk up and down the park, ate our pasties and our cream tea and just chilled till bedtime.

As New York continued to dig through the rubble of the World Trade Center, governments at all levels looked for lessons that might be salvaged from the nation's tragedy. How might other jurisdictions build the electronic framework to respond to the demands of a changed America? The Center for Digital Government, the knowledge-management and research division of e.Republic, and Government Technology magazine hosted a homeland security teleconference with a panel of local, state and federal officials weeks after the attacks. Reflecting the intense interest in government's response, hundreds of attendees listened in and asked questions.
Panelists were quick to point out that, although America's focus and concerns have changed since Sept. 11, much of the technology used to respond to the emergency was already in place. "Like a lot of other people, we found out how good our Y2K plans and contingency planning were," said the OMB's Tony Frater, adding that agencies are being asked to look at places where weaknesses were found and correct those conditions. "One of the critical things we need to do is be integrated in our response to things."
The Government Information Security Reform Act, passed in 2000, should help governments do that, according to Frater. Under the legislation, federal agencies were required to report to the OMB and Congress about the security of their systems. Along with analyzing those reports, Frater said there would also be a focus on what Tom Ridge, director of the U.S. Office of Homeland Security, referred to as "data integration."
"We are thinking in terms of both geo-spatial data and various decision support systems, knowledge-management systems and how we can distribute our decision-making capabilities to ensure we have the best information available," he said. "I know we've gotten requests from a number of state and local governments about how we can do a better job of integrating federal, state and local government information assets."
Coming from the federal sector, this kind of outreach to other government entities comes as a welcome sign to state officials who have advocated for more systems integration and standards. Utah is a state that's been ahead of the curve thanks, in part, to a governor who has been a strong advocate for digital government. In addition, the state is playing host to the 2002 Winter Olympics, an event that poses as many threats as it does economic benefits.
According to Chief Privacy Officer Al Sherwood, the state budgeted an additional $40 million in security costs. Data sharing with the FBI has increased, he explained, and one project is under way to link the state's GIS data layers to the Olympic command centers. "Data integration becomes difficult at the state level, unless it's going on at the federal level as well," he said. "FirstGov and other initiatives are great opportunities to do more on that."
Sherwood said GIS data on bridges, power plants, refineries, storage tanks, hospitals and other sensitive facilities must be available for planning and operations. "The area we need more coordination in is the coordination of GIS information," he said. "What we need to do is make this information available to our command centers." And some GIS data has been removed from the Web, he added, to avoid making it too easy for terrorists to find targets. In preparation for the Winter Games, local law enforcement is cross training with the FBI, and crime analysts have access to one another's databases. Sherwood added that Utah had its Web site hacked and defaced prior to Sept. 11, raising awareness and inspiring the state to launch additional security measures.
Sherwood was appointed to the privacy post in the summer of 2001. He said that when he first embarked on his mission under the direction of CIO Phillip Windley, his focus was on creating effective privacy policies and protections. "How I spend my days now is a whole lot different than

Hey All,
Is there a way to configure mail quotas so that it is only a warning? We'd like users to receive automated messages (to be annoying) when their mailbox is larger than a specified size (like 1GB), but we still want them to be able to receive mail.
Is this possible?
Please forgive me if this was already discussed. Feel free to point me to the correct thread.

I work at Sports Authority a retail sporting store. I have been there for 6 years and never had a write up. I have read the employee hand book but it doesnt say anything today they issued a final written and almost terminated me.
I see. Thank you for providing this additional information, John.Since employers do risk liability of being sued for race discrimination and this particular word is usually very inflammatory and offensive to many minorities, most employers would typically take very harsh action against employees for using the word, up to and including termination of their employment.There would normally not be any recourse against an employer by an employee who used this word and was disciplined or terminated for it I'm afraid, as it is generally not an acceptable word to use in the workplace in any context.Even though you did not use the word in a derogatory way or call anyone particular that name, employers do have an interest in preventing employees from using such language at the workplace since they do risk liability if they were to permit it. I'm glad you were not terminated, but I would strongly advice against using this type of language in the workplace since most employers would react strongly to it.
I hope this helps clarify the situation for you. My goal is to provide you with excellent service – if you feel you have received anything less, please reply back as I am happy to address follow-up questions. Kindly rate my service when we have finished our communication. Thank you!

Jason Gedrick Joins Season 7 Of Dexter
By Leslie Kasperowicz 4 years ago comments
Jason Gedricks luck hasnt run out, even if HBOs Luck is history. Hes been cast in a multi-episode arc on Dexter that sounds likely to find him ending up wrapped in plastic. So perhaps, if hes in Dexters sights, his luck is about to run out after all or at least his new characters luck.
After the cancellation of Luck on HBO, in which Gedrick was appearing, due to the deaths of several horses, he will move on to playing a target for Dexter himself on season 7 on the Showtime series. According to TVLine, Gedrick has been cast as a Miami gentlemens club manager who becomes connected with a murder, thus placing himself squarely in Dexters path, which generally would land him in the kill room. Thats all the details so far, but with the role being multi-episode its likely there will be a more extended hunt on Dexters part.
Season 7 of Dexter left him with some splainin to do to sister Debra, and of course theres that awkward issue of her feelings for him. Which may, or may not, be changed by what she discovered at the end of Season 6. How Dex plans to move forward with business as usual in the kill room should be interesting to see, but it doesnt sound like hell be packing away his knives.
Gedrick is best known for Boomtown and Murder One, and recently appeared on Necessary Roughness and the now-ended Desperate Housewives, in addition to his role on the not-so-lucky Luck.

WASHINGTON — The head of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was named the next president of the Kennedy Center on Tuesday and will become the first woman to lead the performing arts center since it opened in 1971.
Deborah F. Rutter joins the Kennedy Center in September. Rutter will succeed Michael Kaiser, who is stepping down in August after 13 years at the helm.
Rutter has led the Chicago Symphony since 2003. During that time, the orchestra recruited maestro Riccardo Muti, an acclaimed Italian conductor, as music director and cellist Yo-Yo Ma as creative consultant.
Rutter is known to Seattle Symphony patrons, as she was executive director of the SSO — the first woman to hold that post — from 1992-2003. Her tenure included the construction of Benaroya Hall; an increase in number and variety of SSO concerts, and number of subscribers; and balanced budgets.

Most Read Stories
As an arts administrator, Rutter has distinguished herself as a prolific fundraiser who could recruit top talent and boost outreach to new audiences, said Kennedy Center Chairman David Rubenstein. An 11-member search that included Caroline Kennedy seriously considered 15 to 25 candidates.
The Kennedy Center president serves as the artistic and administrative leader for extensive programs in theater, dance, chamber music and jazz. She will also oversee the National Symphony Orchestra and Washington National Opera at one of the world's busiest performing arts centers. It also includes one of the nation's largest arts education programs, and is a memorial to President John F. Kennedy.
Rutter, who agreed to a three-year contract, said she was drawn to the position because it presents an opportunity to use the arts "to impact the rest of the world."
While growing up in the Los Angeles area, Rutter studied piano and violin. She earned a master's degree in business from the University of Southern California.
Rutter describes herself as a consensus builder who believes in "the messiness" of collaboration. She said she wants to find ways for the Kennedy Center to interact with other organizations, from museums and theaters to less traditional groups.
"The center has so much going on, and the question is, how can we inspire even greater collaboration?" she said. "How can we reach beyond the walls of the Kennedy Center to work with the amazing richness of culture and humanity that exists here?"
While many arts organizations struggled during the recession, the Chicago Symphony expanded its financial base with improved fundraising and ticket sales. But the symphony also saw its musicians strike last year in a dispute over wages and health care costs. The strike ended within days.
"The good news is we resolved that disagreement really quickly and to the satisfaction of all," Rutter said.

If your home is a reflection of you, it should be filled with things you love and relics of your past. In this excerpt from his latest book, The Things That Matter, Nate Berkus highlights how a space can truly shine with personality.
"Each object tells a story, and each story connects us to one another and to the world. The truth is, things matter. They have to. They're what we live with and touch each and every day. They represent what we've seen, who we've loved and where we hope to go next. They remind us of the good times and the rough patches and everything in between that's made us who we are." - Nate Berkus, The Things That Matter
Photography by Roger Davies
Nate Berkus's favourite things
1 Sidechair
"I have had that little brown chair for 20 years, upholstered in cashmere." Nate would be the first to tell you that sometimes it's those forever pieces that first make a new space feel like home. "My space reflects the life I've lived so far, and it's filled with stuff that has been with me for years."
2 Coffee table
Some of the pieces Nate loves most are the ones he salvaged and repurposed for a personal touch: "The coffee table used to be a bench, but I replaced the top with a piece of old Belgian limestone."
3 Side table
Ten years ago, if anyone had told Nate that he'd buy the chunky 1950s Mexican pine table, "I would have recommended you be institutionalized," he says. But now, it sits in his living room, "and I couldn't love it more."
4 Fireplace
The 19th-century French fireplace speaks to Nate's love of the weathered and worn: "Give me something cracked or banged up, give me tarnished brass or mottled brick...and I'm home," he says.
5 Glass doors
The custom iron-and-glass doors leading from the living room to the dining room were inspired by Nate's time spent in France (including a college year in Paris). "I love the idea of metal interior doors," he says.
Nate Berkus shares his favourite decor items and explains how they can bring personality to a space.

John Powers is passionate, insightful and protective of everyone from his disabled sister to an abandoned puppy. John is also intensely driven. Since his first soapbox derby at age eleven, John has desired to break into the NASCAR circuit of the 1950's.
With support from Pop, his mentor and family friend, John cuts his chops on the emerging dirt tracks near his hometown of Pittsburgh and soon moves into the Midwest Association of Race Cars' new car circuit while barely out of high school. His personal disappointments and setbacks only make him more determined in his chase for Victory Lane.
The pursuit is costly. As he matures into one of the greatest racers of his time, he looks at those people who have helped him reach his dream and values them only for how they support his quest. Years later, elderly and dying in the hospital, no one comes to his side.
While anticipating a visit from his estranged son, the hospital calls a code yellow: John Powers has disappeared. Where he ends up provides the chance to alter his life's course … if he is willing to change history.
With several hours of freedom stretching before him, John still found himself walking toward the garage. He would just take a quick look; he couldn't go a day without thinking, planning, visualizing. He walked slowly, coveting the new 1951 models that occasionally passed by, envying the drivers their ownership of such fine machines.
He stopped in Sal's diner for a meatloaf sandwich and a Coke to prolong the afternoon. From his seat in the front booth, he could see Pop's Garage across the street. She was in there, his entry to a life he had dreamed about since Dad had taken him to the first NASCAR strictly stock race at Charlotte Speedway in '49. While other kids collected baseball cards, John followed the NASCAR stats as Red Byron and Lee Petty battled for first place. The '40 Ford made racing tangible, as though it could really happen, tucked away in a womb of possibility. It was unseen from anyone outside, covered in a tarp of secrecy and away from prying eyes.
He bit into his warm sandwich, watching the sun sparkle against the red-lettered sign in front: "Pop's Garage, the best service, the best price." The office sat clean and empty, a line of chrome-framed chairs cushioned with crimson Naugahyde behind the wall-length window. John knew Pop was proud of his business; it was the most important thing in his life. Perhaps the Powers family was more important. No, on further contemplation, John determined what meant the most to Pop, at least right now. It was him, John Powers, his youth, and his gumption to do what Pop had wanted to do over a decade ago.
Things were different then. There was the money, the stigma that racing was full of lawless moonshiners, his age, and the time away from a business he was trying to keep running. Perhaps his customers would stop coming if they knew. Pop had a string of excuses for not doing what he really wanted to. That's all they seemed to John, excuses, and poor ones at that. If a person had a desire so tough it penetrated the shield of daily responsibility, playing like scenes from a movie over and over until his heart pounded just from the thought of it, then he should make it happen. To hell with what other people thought. There would be no excuses with him. He would do it for Pop—he would do it for his own sanity.
D. T. DIGNAN'Sinspiration for Race from the Finish came from a red and white 1956 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe and a vision of the driver who would test her limits. With its new small block engine, the Bel Air was deemed 'the hot one,' climbing Pikes Peak in record time.

The debate rages on and there is much musing over what will happen next. America sits poised on the edge of our seats waiting for the other shoe to fall. It causes us to muse over what if Senator Ted Kennedy were in the thick of the debate?
Kennedy's passing surely has an impact on the health care debate in America. While the central disagreements may have stayed the same, the loss of Kennedy is surely a blow to civilized discourse regarding health care reform. As noted by both Republicans and Democrats in the wake of Kennedy's death, he was a respected legislator who was "willing to work with others to get things done, for the greater good." [The Situationist 9.12.2009]
Leading Republican senators hinted that no Democrat seemed ready to assume Kennedy's traditional role both in crafting a political compromise and in selling it to the Democratic base.[The Washington Post 8.29.2009]
Can Senator Harry Reid or the unlikely 10 (10 moderate Senators and 10 progressive Senators) "craft a political compromise and sell it" to the Democratic base. Is that what Senator Ted Kennedy would have done with health care were he alive right now? In his stance on health care reform, there was a sense of urgency that perhaps some of us may have mistaken for a sense of mortality on his behalf. Was Senator Kennedy looking at the closing chapter of his life and trying to get health care done before his passing? Or, was he leaving us a legacy that is the fierce urgency of now; trying to tell us that we cannot afford to rely upon the status quo, as the situation has gone too far too long unchallenged. He is not here to tell us what was in his heart of his mind. Clearly this is our mission right now. This is his legacy passed on to us to achieve.
Do we fudge the public option for something "less than perfect" that actually makes the public option a mockery and say to ourselves, "take what we can get and regroup to fight another day?" We are faced with 45,000 excess deaths expected to occur this year, next year and every year thereafter that we do not have meaningful and substantive health care reform. Even though the number of job losses continues to go down each month, the numbers of jobless workers without health insurance increases, driving up the potential for excess deaths to occur because of lack of health insurance.
The abusive premium increases that are taking place across the board in the industry have a two prong approach: first, push up premiums and thin out the at risk (sick) pool of customers, thereby reducing the insurance industry work force and risk simultaneously. Fewer customers mean fewer jobs to be filled. Second, the abusive rise in premium prices will pad the insurance coffers, allowing them to "decrease" the cost of premiums once health care kicks in without any adverse impact on the industry's profit margin.
My message to the President: Stand firm and unwavering on a robust public option and we, the people, will stand firm at the polling booth come the next voting session for lawmakers who stand with the insurance industry and not the people.

No medical bills for some Colo. shooting victims
DENVER Some of the victims fighting for their lives after being wounded in the movie-theater shooting rampage may face another challenge when they get out of the hospital: enormous medical bills without the benefit of health insurance.
Members of the public, along with Warner Bros., the studio that released the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises," have contributed nearly $2 million to help victims, though it's not clear how much of that will cover medical expenses. One family is raising money on its own online.
And three of the five hospitals treating victims said Wednesday they will limit or completely wipe out medical bills.
Some of the victims, however, still face a long recovery ahead and the associated medical costs - without health insurance. There's no exact count of how many of them don't have insurance but statistics suggest many of them might not be covered.
Nearly one in three Coloradans, or about 1.5 million, either have no health insurance or have coverage that is inadequate, according to a 2011 report by The Colorado Trust, a health care advocacy group.
The highest uninsured rate was among adults between 18 and 34 and many of those injured in the shootings are in that age group.
State officials said they are not sure whether any of the victims qualify for emergency Medicaid assistance available to needy patients. Victims could also get financial assistance from a state program that helps people hurt during crimes, including lost wages and counseling.
Among the uninsured victims of the movie-theater attack is a 23-year-old aspiring comic, Caleb Medley, who is in critical condition with a head wound and whose wife, Katie, gave birth to their first child, Hugo, on Tuesday.
His family and friends said they have set a goal of raising $500,000 to cover his hospital bills and other expenses and were over halfway there on Wednesday.
"All the money that is donated is going straight to Caleb, Katie and Hugo to help them with medical bills, getting back on their feet, help with the baby items," friend Michael West said. "Anything and everything that they need."
Children's Hospital Colorado announced it would use donations and its charity care fund to cover the medical expenses of the uninsured. For those who do have insurance, the hospital says it will waive all co-pays.
"We are committed to supporting these families as they heal," according to a statement from the hospital, which treated six shooting victims.
HealthOne, which owns the Medical Center of Aurora and Swedish Medical Center, also says it will limit or eliminate charges based on the individual circumstances of the patients. Those hospitals have treated 22 shooting victims. However, the company cautioned its policy may not apply to all doctors working in its hospitals.
The other two hospitals, Denver Health Medical Center and University of Colorado Hospital, where Medley is, wouldn't directly say whether they would assist shooting victims. However, they are the state's top two safety net hospitals and provided combined $750 million in free care in 2011.
Hospitals are required by federal law to stabilize patients during emergencies without regard to their ability to pay.
"The issue most probably facing the hospitals and patients in a situation like Aurora is what comes after `stabilization,'" said Dr. Howard Brody, director of the Institute for the Medical Humanities at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston and a frequent critic of excessive medical costs.
"Many of these people I assume will need prolonged and expensive rehabilitation after their immediate injuries are dealt with, and that seems precisely what hospitals today are less and less willing to cover out of their own funds, and no law requires that they do so, as far as I am aware," he said.

Guest Post: Bureaucratic Blunder Helps Over 100 Oil Companies Avoid Paying Royalties
Submitted by James Burgess of OilPrice.com,
Democratic lawmaker Representative Edward Markey of Massachusetts has used information from the Interior Department to form a report which claims that more than 100 oil and gas producers, including Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX), BP Plc (NYSE: BP), Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM), Royal Dutch Shell Plc, (NYSE: RDS-A) and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP), have benefitted from bungled leases awarded by the federal government.
The leases enabled the companies to drill for oil and gas in federal waters without paying, or at least paying at a much lower rate, any royalties.
Chevron was the biggest winner, avoiding an estimated $1.49 billion out of a total $2.62 billion that they should have paid for the right to drill.
Under a law passed in 1995 any leases signed between 1996 and 2000 offered lower royalty fees in order to encourage drilling whilst oil and gas prices were so low; once the price rebounded above a certain level a clause in the lease stated that the royalties would return to the normal level.
Due to bureaucratic error, all leases signed in 1998 and 1999 failed to include a price threshold at which point the royalties would revert to normal levels once oil and gas prices rose.
In 2006, George Bush's administration asked companies to voluntarily renegotiate the leases in order to correct the obvious mistake; nothing happened. Representative Markey is now trying to push for legislation that would force the oil companies to renegotiate the leases.

I hope this fucking fraud ponzi blows soon. Let start moving forward for real.
Damn, it's cheaper for them to pump oil than it was to pump Melissa King.
Due to bureaucratic error,
Find the bureaucrat and take away his private jet and island...
Whois Obama gonna blame for this one? Billary?
It wasn't a mistake. They believe that American gas and oil is their property. And we are just another variety of sand nigger.
Better to have it above ground on the market than underground, with the least possible taxation possible. Starve problems and feed solutions. Federal govt is the problem.
You fucken idiot!
It is not Exxon or BP's land. It is as if Exxon started siphoning a big oil find in your land and not paying YOU.
If they are going to rape the U.S. federal lands, then give me my share first. Divide all U.S. land by the population of U.S. citizens and give it to them, not to some CEO making 40 million a year.
I hate Dumb idiotical fascist apologists.
Why it's Booshes fault of course. I can just see the News Release now.
OboMao will soon engage his chief negotiating specialist, Maxine Water to quickly, effictively and at Zero cost to tax payer's, correct the wrong doing by Big Oil and Evil Speculators! This is the least we can do for American People and the Middle Class the release will proclaim.
I would venture to say it will also be suggested to be openly broadcasted on CNN someday as well.
Hope, Hope and Change you can Believe In!!
What evidence do you have that would lead you to conclude that an error had occurred?
If these were just 'innocent errors' you'd think that every once in a while one of those 'errors' would benefit the People instrad of benefitting the connected predatory corporate scumbags.
But hey just have grandma be happy with catfood and it's all good!
Didn't we hang a bunch of these fascists at the end of WW2?
In other news Markey's re-election campaign fund just went up by $10M. In totally unrelated news Markey proclaims the problem unsolvable, but government will do the leases correctly next time.
"Yes we can!"
Do these pretend representative DO ANYTHING to earn their perks and pay??????????
Time to start burning them in effagy (sp?) to send a message!
"Bungled," really?
In the manner in which Bernanke bungled his economic theories.
It's a "Bungle, Bungle" party! Only well-oiled clientelle allowed (front or read-door) entry.
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for moar?.
Featuring the "Bernanke" on vocals with Timmay G. on drums.
No shit considering law firms hired by lobbyists regularly write proposed legislation in just about every industry. It's takes no imagination that the leases were produced in the same manner. After all, this is the same Minerals Management group that was banging oil industry reps and finding ways to skim off the royalty-in-kind program up until 2008.
Next thing you know the oil majors be asked to contribute to the cost of the military action that opened huge leases in Iraq. No, nevermind.
That's the real subsidy to big oil - wars.
Just thankful that we let the iraqi people use their oil to pay for the war.
Obama has been trying to demonize oil companies to get more tax money from them, when they actually pay some of the highest rates going. Tobacco was the template, just like they are trying to do with soda now. Demonize, regulate, tax and ultimately become partners with the most profitable companies out there to get more money to grow government b
So you are saying that the big oil companies are suffering financially then?
Dems demonize businesses in order to get campaign money from them. That's how modern liberal fascism works.
Businesses that don't pay up get lots of regulatory attention from dem pols and dem bureaucrats and dem connected activists lawyers.
It is how we got here. How the banks and insurance sector ended up democrat. Tech as well.
Yeah...it was "bungled." It was a mistake. I'm sure it was not yet another of those endless fascist give-a-ways. I'm sure this bungle won't put pressure on smaller oil companies that did not have the inside track on cheap leases.
You simply can't make this stuff up as fast as it is happening.
What kind of world do we live in where a bought politician doesn't stay bought...who can you trust?
BP did the lambada for liberals before the oil spill occurred for a solid decade and still got dictated a 23 billion dollar cleanup without trial or investigation. Pilloried by the prez hizzself.
Fucking typical outcome from these dumb fucks.... (walking off screaming fuck)
And every politician involved has 10M parked in an off shore account.
Checks and balances you say? What's that?
They take checks too.
In banks overseen by the Fed, monies sent over the Fed wire, never investigated by the DoJ, income not reported to IRS and never ever audited....
Pshaw, coincidences
Think we'll ever get to see an FBAR to go along with those tax returns they don't won't to show us?
March 6 (Bloomberg) -- Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore left the White House seven years ago with less than $2 million in assets, including a Virginia home and the family farm in Tennessee. Now he's making enough to put $35 million in hedge funds and other private partnerships.
Al Gore net worth: Al Gore is a former senator, Vice President, environmental activist and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $300 million. Al Gore has achieved a lot in his years in the public eye, both in the public and private sectors. In addition to his net worth, he's considered one of the most influential activists for the environment.
"Due to bureaucratic error, all leases signed in 1998 and 1999 failed to include a price threshold at which point the royalties would revert to normal levels once oil and gas prices rose."
bureaucratic error my ass.....some paralegal and the attorney present at lease signing were paid a hefty bonus by the oil companies to "accidentally" omit the required clause....
Gee I hope I could go back and 'renegotiate' any bad deal I've ever done.
"Broker you should have realized that trade was nothing more than a fat finger mistake, now give me my losses back."
If I was the oil companies I would those bureaucrats the proverbial finger. A contract is a contract is a contract. You don't get to renegotiate it just because you f@cked up!
So when the cronies successfully game the system at the taxpayer's expense, more power to them, huh?
That's what they fucking do on the exchanges!
When thees a big blowup, trades get cancelled.
WTF think's going on?
Freecrafted, when was a contract is a contract is a contract ever a Contract?
They oughta take the missing $$ out of the bungling bearuorats ass! er, I mean his retirment and salary!
You're talking about people who were raised in a culture of infinite mulligans.
F@cking indian givers!
sheee-it. Royalty Clawback is a'comin.
I am having to pay royalty clawbacks on some wells in OK...surely our Esteemed Gubermint (see zh's Founded By Geniuses, Run By Idiots) can finger out how to get paid.
Sure. They'll pass another 3000 page swiss-cheese bill that will take 7 years to implement and then they won't enforce it just like they don't enforce the rules they've already got. It's called "doing something." Anything. Doesn't matter what. Just DO SOMETHING (as long as it involves passing more laws and implementing more rules).
Chevron avoided paying 1.49 billion? That's all? Total peanuts compared to the financial industry.
Great browsergame playing a big oil crony

K11: Metaphonic Portrait 1230 A.D.CD
Price: $12.99
No Longer Available
(Get e-mailed if ever back in stock)
Product Details
AKA: Pietro Riparbelli
Producer: K11 (aka Pietro Riparbelli)
SummaryK11 is the nom de plume of Italian sound artist Pietro Riparbelli. On his last release as K11, 2009's Voices from Thelema (Aurora Borealis) Riparbelli visited the ruins of Aleister Crowley's Thelema Abbey in Cefalu, Sicily, where he documented signals and sounds coming through short-wave radio receivers--an instrumental trans-communication ritual, acting as a conduit for whatever spirits remain in the Abbey.
Continuing his interest in cathedrals with the new K11 release Metaphonic Portrait 1230 A.D., Riparbelli entered Assisi Cathedral in the Umbria region of Italy, not far from his hometown of Tuscany; the 1230 A.D. in the album's title refers to the date of completion of the original cathedral. Audio was recorded in the cathedral's lower basilica, the oldest area where the actual relics of St. Francis of Assisi are kept.
Again utilizing short-wave radios as his primary "instrument," Riparbelli has captured a haunting array of cavernous sounds, displaced signals and found ambience. With the addition of some voice and organ elements, Metaphonic Portrait 1230 A.D. sounds not unlike the recordings of experimentalists Philip Jeck and William Basinski if they were under the influence of Crowleyean magick and sacred geometry--a psychedelic meditation from some medieval crypt captured out of time in the present.
The numbers used in the song titles are chosen with purpose, all related to the Gematria, the ancient system that assigns numbers to words and how they relate to each other. A video shot inside the cathedral by Riparbelli is included on the disc to give the listener a visual picture of the aging structure. As in all K11's work, the themes of magick, religion, numerology and esotericism are present throughout this reverent document of aural mysticism.

Conference Name: Midwest Fish and Wildlife Conference
The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a species native to the Ponto-Caspian region of Eurasia that was introduced to the Great Lakes in the early 1990's and has since undergone rapid expansion. The round goby is known to consume a variety of prey items from soft-bodied invertebrates to hard-bodied prey such as dreissenid mussels, primarily based on the round goby's habitat use and body size. We hypothesized that round goby: (1) abundance is greater at pierheads than adjacent drowned river mouth (DRM) lakes (which have direct connections to Lake Michigan) because of differences in substrate between the two habitats, and (2) diets at pierheads are primarily comprised of dreissenid mussels based on the size of round gobies and density of dreissenids in the two habitats. To test these hypotheses, we sampled round gobies with baited minnow traps at six sites (consisting of pierhead and adjacent DRM-lake habitats). As predicted, we found significantly higher densities at pierheads compared to the DRM lake habitats. Stomach content analysis was conducted on each sampled specimen by separating the prey types into major taxonomic groups and assessing differences in prey consumption as a function of total prey volume. The results from this study will allow a more thorough understanding of round goby population distribution and habitat use in coastal areas of Lake Michigan.

Seems like it's the season of Auctioning off important Frank Lloyd Wright-designed art glass windows. Kevin W. alerted us to the fact that a window that somehow got away from the Meyer May House (1908) in Grand Rapids, MI is being auctioned off at Bonhams on December 16, 2013. Perhaps the good people at Steelcase will be able to acquire it and return it to where it belongs. See more here.

text: So the Bow Group has discovered that boys are underachieving? I could have told them that years ago. It didn't take a 'study' to come up with that one. I have worked with children with poor literacy skills for more than 20 years and most of them have been male. Last (academic) year, the school where I work had at least 50 children, out of an intake of approximately 300 in year 7, with a reading age of 9 or below. I say 'at least' because we didn't have the time or the manpower to do in depth testing with many of the borderline cases. I wrote these figures in my very first blog in fact. Most of these children are boys and the sad thing is, many of them have little real desire to improve. Neither have many of them the desire to do well. Many (not all) boys with adequate reading skills don't want to achieve. They think they'll be called 'swots'. I remember my own son coming home from school on GCSE day with decent, but not good enough, (I didn't tell him that by the way) results. His reaction was the same. 'They'd think I was a swot if I'd done any better,' he said. That was August 1995. Things haven't changed much.

Students Smile for Oral Hygiene in Gulahuayco!
The students living in Gulahuayco have really 'brushed' up on oral hygiene!
For many of the students living in Gulahuayco, oral hygiene is completely new – some of them have never owned a toothbrush or some toothpaste before. School staff and volunteers decided to change this; they collected funds to purchase toothbrushes and paste so there woud be enough for every student.
Students of all ages came to the oral hygiene workshop all smiles! They realized how much they relied on their pearly whites when they (adorably) tried to smile, talk, and eat without using them. Staff taught them how to brush properly using a giant model of a mouth, and after some practice they were all dental dynamos! Finally the cavities came; the students learned about what foods and drinks cause plaque buildup, and how to avoid costly cavities.
To finish up the workshop, the staff left the students with a challenge. Each boy and girl received a one-month calendar with two empty spots in each day. When they brushed their teeth, they'd fill in one spot with a happy face; this way they can track how often they're brushing!
At the end of the day, the students were thrilled to not only have their own toothbrushes and calendars, but to have the knowledge needed to improve their own health. These smiling students are chomping at the bit to start brushing!

Giant Star Wars Scarecrow Scene Created In Front Yard
Some people go all out with crazy Christmas decorations. Some go all out for Halloween. And then there's this crazy person who made a bunch of Star Wars character scarecrows and put them on display in their front yard, hopefully year round. And even if they don't leave them out year round, at least there's no cleanup or storage necessary. "Fire?" AN INFERNO.
Hit the jump for a closeup of each character (my favorite is Palpatine with his Christmas lights lightning hands).
Thanks to Evil Ares, who's so evil he sets fire to all outdoor decorations no matter what the season.

Looking forward to tonight's episode. Loved the episode where he chose Bettina. Knew that once he bedded her he would choose her and then humiliate her the next week to get back at the snobby parents. His ego was hurt and this is how he struck back. Women, we've got to learn to be just a bit smarter.

March 1, 2004
BERKELEY, Calif. - The No. 4 California women's golf team competes at the Spartan Invitational Tuesday-Wednesday, March 2-3 at the Corral de Tierra Country Club in Salinas, Calif. The 54-hole tournament, hosted by San Jose State, features 36 holes on Tuesday and 18 holes on Wednesday on the par-72, 6,010-yard course.
The 17-team tournament features (rankings are the latest, according to Golfweek): No. 33 Arizona State, No. 4 California, UC Irvine, No. 2 UCLA, Cal State Monterey Bay, Colorado, Hawaii, No. 45 Nebraska, No. 24 UNLV, New Mexico State, Oregon State, No. 23 Pepperdine, No. 39 San Francisco, No. 47 San Jose State, No. 21 Stanford and No. 10 Washington.
Cal's likely lineup for the tournament is: sophomore Sophia Sheridan, senior Sarah Huarte, senior Claire Dury, sophomore Sofie Andersson and senior Anna Temple. Freshman Danielle Nash is expected to compete as an individual.
Last season, the Bears finished third at the Spartan Invitational at plus-26 890, behind Pepperdine (minus-18, 846) and UCLA (plus-18, 882). Huarte paced Cal in a tie for 12th at 222, while Vikki Laing and Sheridan tied for 14th at 223. Pepperdine's Katherine Hull won the individual crown with an NCAA record 16-under 200.
Cal is coming off a fourth-place showing at the Wildcat Invitational Feb. 23-25 in Tucson, Ariz. Sheridan placed second and tied the school 54-hole mark at minus-one 212, vaulting her to a team-best 20th national ranking by Golfweek. That ranking also is Sheridan's collegiate best. Huarte is ranked 21st, and Dury is 48th.

Click it or Ticket Underway
As of November 15th, 183 people have been killed on Nebraska roads this year - up from 159 at this time last year. And 93 of those killed were not wearing seat belts. Deb Collins, public information coordinator for the Nebraska State Patrol, says they have seen a jump in the number of roadway fatalities in the past several years. The State Patrol, along with the Norfolk Police Division and other law enforcement agencies across the state, are taking part in the national Click It or Ticket It seatbelt enforcement effort this week. Officers will be watching to make sure motorists are wearing their seat belts - especially at night. Nighttime passenger vehicle occupants are less likely to buckle up at night, and more likely to die in crashes when unrestrained.

Think tank NCAER today said the country's growth rate is likely to be 5.9 per cent, a tad lower than its previous forecast due to slowdown in key manufacturing and services sectors.
"India's growth prospect for the current fiscal does not look encouraging as growth has been slowing down across all the broad sectors ... (our) assessment places the oveal GDP growth ... at 5.9 per cent in 2012-13," the institute said in its quarterly review of the economy.
The latest growth projection is 0.5 per cent lower than its forecast in July.
NCAER said that this decline in growth assessment has come across all sectors, especially industry and services.
The lowering of growth forecast comes on the back of a similar move by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Last month, the RBI sharply lowered economic growth projection for the fiscal to 5.8 per cent from 6.5 per cent.
The latest forecasts of GDP growth by various agencies, including IMF and ADB, are in the range of 5.6-6.7 per cent.
On new reform measures announced by government, NCAER said although they may improve the economic outlook in second half of the year, "the significant slowdown of investment in the first half would keep the overall GDP growth lower".
The measures include, diesel price hike, capping supply of subsidised LPG cylinders and liberalisation in FDI policy.
On price rise, NCAER said the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) based inflation is expected to remain high in the fiscal at 7.4 per cent due to increase of domestic oil prices.
The growth rate of exports is estimated at 7 per cent, lower than July forecast of 17.2 per cent.
On Current Account Deficit (CAD), NCAER said is estimated to remain at 3 per cent of GDP.
Based on various variables like rainfall and bank credit, NCAER further said growth in the second quarter would be 5.3 per cent, down from the earlier projection of 6.6 per cent.
According to government data, the growth has averaged 5.4 per cent over the previous two quarters which is lower than 6.5 per cent in 2011-12 and 6.7 per cent in crisis-hit 2008-09.
It also said hike in diesel and LPG prices would have positive impact on overall fuel prices.
According to it, subsidies will remain at the level of budget estimates due to the hike in prices of diesel, petrol and LPG. NCAER expects government earning from disinvestment of its stake in public sector unit at Rs 15,000 crore.

Survivor: Philippines — Sarah Dawson Says She Has A Crush On Jeff Probst
October 23, 2012 08:00 AM by Ryan Haidet
Although her torch had just been snuffed out, Sarah Dawson didn't seem to care too much. She was spending her last moments on Survivor: Philippines by staring deeply into Jeff Probst's eyes before giving him a kiss on the cheek. In an exit interview with reporters, she talked more about her love for Probst by calling it a crush, explained how she stroked his hair in the interview process and explained that she actually did tell Jeff Kent that she knew all about his baseball past. This is a great, hilariously entertaining interview. Dive in and enjoy!
Question: What will you remember most about being on the show?
Sarah Dawson: Kissing Jeff Probst on my way out the door. Oh, my God! It was surreal. I'm the first person in history to kiss him on the way out. It was so surreal. When I had that look on my face I was debating lips, cheek, lips, cheek. I was just trying to figure out how to do it. Then I aimed for the corner of his mouth since he's married (laughs). Keepin' it classy.
Question: What is your fascination with Probst?
Sarah Dawson: (Laughs) I've been watching Survivor for years and they've gone through 300+ different contestants and the one thing that's been constant is this gorgeous, dimpled man who appears in my TV every Wednesday night. We all have our kid crushes. I think he started as my kid crush and I just never grew out of him, just like I've never grown out of the show. Seeing him in person explaining to me how to do a challenge and then say, "Survivors, ready," oh my gosh, it was just the top of the world to me. Having my torch snuffed really really sucked, but the best thing about it is when you get to walk right up in front of Jeff Kent — Oh, I mean Jeff Probst. Oooo, bad slip. You get to stand right in front of him. So, yeah, I took my shot, and I'm so glad that I did.
Question: Probst knew going into the game how much you liked him though, right?
Sarah Dawson: Oh yeah. He knew when I applied for the show. In the last interview, I grabbed his face — he said I could give him a hug — pulled it into my chest and I just started stroking his hair and saying the Lord's Prayer. It was the most awkward moment you have ever seen. But I meant all of it. I was just so excited. So, yeah. He knows. He knows what's up.
Question: What can we expect from you and Probst at the live reunion show on finale night?
Sarah Dawson: If he doesn't swoop me up into his arms, or at least, like, wave at me, I am just going to be so heartbroken. I just love this show. You have no idea how much that embrace meant to me. Getting voted out, but then wrapping my arms around him really really helped. If he's down to hugging me at the finale, oh my gosh! I'd do anything.
Question: Did you think about outing Jeff Kent's baseball past before heading to Tribal Council?
Sarah Dawson: I'm not a malicious person, I do things in the game that are going to advance me. That wasn't gonna advance me in the game. But I did actually want to watch him play this season without anyone knowing he's a millionaire and have him lose anyway. If he wants to come out here and play like a normal person, he can, but I watched his social game and I knew he wasn't gonna go very far, so why bother outing him? Let him lose as a normal person and we'll see if that happens. … I don't care about Jeff Kent. Yeah, he used to swing a bat, but now he can't even swing an ax. Did you see him in that challenge? …
Question: Do you think that had you told Jeff you knew he was a baseball star that it may have given you more of an advantage?
Sarah Dawson: Actually, I did confront him with it. It just didn't show on the air. He just didn't want to play with us (the women). He wanted to play with men.
Question: Were you blindsided?
Sarah Dawson: No, I was not. I knew they were gonna vote for me. I think I was just overwhelmed by everything that had happened over the past two days. The merge (Matsing dissolving), two challenges, Dana leaving, everything. Everything all culminated at once.
Question: Do you think you were targeted because of how you performed in that challenge?
Sarah Dawson: No, I did great in the challenge. Actually, at the end, the reason we lost is because Penner spelled the last word wrong. So he's cheering and jumping by himself and I look at the puzzle and "another" was spelled wrong. That's when you saw me push him out of the way and rearrange the letters so that it would be spelled correctly. That's when they (Tandang) won. Had he spelled that word correctly, we would not have gone to Tribal Council.
Question: Did you have any knowledge that Jonathan Penner had found the hidden Immunity Idol?
Sarah Dawson: Everyone knew. I knew it first. I went through his bag and found it in his bag and then ran to my alliance and told my alliance that he had it.
Question: Did you recognize Lisa Whelchel?
Sarah Dawson: I knew she was an actress because she was wearing fake eyelashes and her poise. The way she would speak at the challenges and the way she carried herself, I knew that she had some experience acting. Her delivery, her poise, everything was just so perfected. So yeah, I knew she was up there somewhere. I don't know what "Facts of Life" is, but I knew she was some type of actress.
Question: Did you use Dawson as your last name in the same sense that Cochran did a few seasons ago?
Sarah Dawson: I don't know why people keep asking me that. A lot of people go by last names. My best friend and I had the same name growing up, so we used each other's last names and it just stuck.
What do you think of what Dawson had to say? Are you sad she was voted out of the game so early in the season? Sound off and leave a comment below!
