DUBLIN, Ireland — There are no people on Earth as romantic as the French. No one is punctual like the Swiss. The Germans have defined a sense of order. The Italians know how to eat. And no one, I mean no one, does misery like the Irish.
Ireland's well-chronicled story of rags to riches to rags again is a cautionary tale of the early 21st century. A country reared on hardship, famine and oppression has, after a brief turn in the economic sun, been cast back into the misty gloom of struggle.
Ireland: In the Sept. 30 Travel section, an information box accompanying an article about Ireland said that prices for a double room at Ashford Castle range from $114. That rate is per person. The article also said that the $486 airfare to Dublin, Ireland, included taxes and fees. It did not. The correct airfare, including taxes and fees, is about $1,000. —
But lately I've begun to notice that a mischievous quality has sneaked in under the cloak of misery the Irish have put back on with disarming ease after the good times ended. There is still plenty of suffering to go around, but the place has begun to get a buzz about it again — one that reminds me of the country I knew and loved so well.
I first landed in Ireland 25 years ago, and as it is today, The Misery was on the land. The '80s were a dreary time of inflation, double-digit interest rates and a stagnant economy.
Yet the very direness of the situation swung doors wide to me that might never have opened had the people's necessity not dictated. I paid strangers just a few pounds to sleep in their spare rooms. I ate breakfast at the family table and in the evening watched the Rose of Tralee beauty contest on a black-and-white television beside a mother and father with a vested interest.
Of course, I drank too much in smoky and welcoming pubs, and I played bad golf on wild, spectacular and deserted courses. For a few hundred dollars I joined one such club in Lahinch, and to this day I receive my annual bag tag, one of my most prized possessions.
I returned to Ireland every year — until I missed a year, and then another, and then nearly a decade had passed. When I finally returned, the economic upturn known as the Celtic Tiger had begun its voracious assault on the land — a change that seemed at first as miraculous as it did unlikely.
Changing fortunes
Within a few years at the turn of this century, Ireland began to transform from a charming bog to the poster child of European Union dreams. Farmers put down their beloved Guinness and picked up Pinot Grigio. Dublin morphed from a dank backwater into a sophisticated metropolis. Helicopters were chartered to fly across the country for a lunch of fresh Galway oysters at Moran's, and then back to the posh suburb of Dalkey in time for dinner. Property prices soared, and credit was easy. The going was good.
I too succumbed to the fever that was gripping the land and bought a home. Yet from my outsider's perspective, something in the auld sod was being lost along the way to prosperity. The pubs banned smoking, but the warm welcome also seemed to go up in smoke. The playful twinkle in the eye and the friendly slag were replaced by an aloof disinterest. The good-natured blarney had become boasting bluster.
Neither people nor countries get rich quick gracefully, I concluded. I was glad the Irish were finally having their moment in the sun, but for me, the place had begun to lose its magic.
And then it all went to hell. Seemingly overnight, housing prices plummeted (and are down 55% from their height in 2007). Unemployment recently hit 14.9%. Many of the Eastern European laborers who had flooded the land have gone home.
The Irish have been left alone to nurse a vicious hangover.
Yet in the midst of all this hardship something strange has begun to happen: The restaurants appear packed again, pubs are overflowing onto the street, there's laughter around town. Could the Irish really be rising up and dusting themselves off?
Is this just wishful thinking on my part — a desire to recapture an earlier time of innocence? I decide to head to the one place in Ireland a man goes when looking for answers to life's bigger questions.
At the bustling bar in Kehoe's Pub on South Anne Street in Dublin, the Guinness is flowing and the chat is in full swing. On first glance, not much has changed since the gold rush days of 2004.

Spartanburg police say charges are being filed after two children were found unattended while their parents were passed out from using heroin.
According to Capt. Art Littlejohn, police responded to Creek Ridge Apartments/Hillcrest Commons after a reported overdose early Monday morning.
He said when officers arrived they found a woman and her boyfriend (the children's father) passed out from using the drug.
Officers found an 8-month-old infant and a 20-month-old child lying on the floor unattended, Littlejohn said.
He said the children were taken into emergency protective custody.
The father, 24-year-old Caleb Burgess, was arrested for child endangerment, according to Littlejohn.
Littlejohn said the mother was taken to the hospital for a heroin overdose and charges will be filed against her.
According to the Spartanburg County Detention Center website, on Monday afternoon, the mother, 24-year-old Gina Gaudiano, was booked into the detention center on the charge of neglect of a child.

Library Lock-In Huge Success
Teens spending the night in the library? And not for doing research for a paper? What gives?
It was the Downtown Library's annual teen library lock-in, an event to which teen specialist librarian Kimberly Edwards looks forward all year.
"Yes, some of the other librarians think I'm weird," Edwards smiled, "but they'd probably think that even if I didn't hold this event every Halloween."
The Downtown Library is a great place for a program of this sort, with its meeting rooms and large auditorium.
"We went over to the Friends of the Library Event Room and played video games and ate pizza," Edwards added. "There was also an impromptu silly string fight that left silly string all over the floor. Let me tell you something about silly string: before it dries it's wet and disgusting. Fortunately, some of the kids helped to clean it up. After the food we went to the auditorium for the costume and trivia contest. Angie Merka won the costume contest and various kids won prizes in the trivia contest."
Trivia was drawn from the Twilight series of teen vampire novels by Stephanie Meyer, books that supplied the theme of this year's party.
Other party activities included craft and journaling work, playing hide and seek around the shelves of books, watching a mildly scary movie, creeping up on each other in the dark, and more video games.
"We had 27 in attendance," Edwards said, and I had five library helpers. We all had a good time, but I think the kids enjoyed just chilling out with old and new friends as much as anything.
"At the end of the night, I gave away the remainder of the candy and glow in the dark vampire fangs. I told my helpers that they could leave and they took me up on it and there I was all alone in the library. The library is pretty creepy when you're the only person there and you know you're the only person there, but in the end, I survived to tell the tale of the Twilight Party Lock-in."
Will there be another edition next Halloween?
You can bet your bat there will.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres.

Reigning Champ Reaches QFs
Published June 29, 2009 03:19
LONDON, UK - The Williams sisters cruised into the quarterfinals of The Championships on Monday, as all eight round of 16 matches took the slick green lawns of the All-England Club. World No.1 Dinara Safina also moved on.
Venus Williams, the No.3 seed, was the first of the devastating duo to advance to the final eight, winning the first set and dropping the first game of the second set before No.13 seed Ana Ivanovic retired with a left thigh injury. Ivanovic was in visible distress with the 61 01 retirement result; Williams sympathized.
"I don't know the last time I won in these circumstances - I don't think ever in a Slam. She was in a lot of pain," Williams said. "I'm one of those players who only pays attention to what's going on on their side of the net, but today I felt really sad for her. She was really upset. This is the last place you want to have an injury you can't overcome. I wish her a lot of luck in her recovery."
"When I was serving 30-40 down in that first game, after my first serve, I felt a sharp pain on my inner thigh when I landed," Ivanovic said. "I couldn't step on my leg ever since. It was really disappointing, especially since I felt my form was getting better. I'll just have to look forward to my next tournament."
Next up for Williams is No.11 seed Agnieszka Radwanska, who ended the run of qualifier Melanie Oudin in a tight two-setter, 64 75.
Williams lost her first ever meeting with Radwanska but has won three in a row since; and that first meeting came during Williams' injury-marred 2006 season, during which she only played six tournaments.
"She's obviously very talented. She plays a different game style, but she is very effective at it. Apparently she likes this surface, and obviously she's playing well to be in the quarters," Williams said. "But I don't think much about what the person on the other side of the net is doing. I'll pretty much focus on my side."
"I have nothing to lose. She's a great champion here. I'll try my best," said Radwanska, who will be playing in her third Grand Slam quarterfinal, having lost at that stage at the Australian Open and Wimbledon last year. "If Venus is playing good tennis and having a good day, it's very tough to play against her."
Serena Williams, the No.2 seed, followed her sister into the quarterfinal round with a 63 61 win over an unseeded Daniela Hantuchova.
Next up for Williams is No.8 seed Victoria Azarenka, who made her second straight Grand Slam quarterfinal with a 76(5) 26 63 win over No.10 seed Nadia Petrova. Azarenka reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the French Open four weeks ago; she also beat Williams in the most recent of their three encounters, in straight sets the final of Miami earlier this year.
"She's obviously a good player and very young. She has nothing to lose," Williams said of Azarenka. "But this is Wimbledon. I'm feeling the same way."
Safina, who had never been beyond the third round here previously but the top seed this year, reached the quarterfinals with a 46 63 64 win over No.17 seed Amélie Mauresmo. She will next face the unseeded Sabine Lisicki, who notched her second straight Top 10 upset, following up her third round win over No.5 seed Svetlana Kuznetsova with a 64 64 win over No.9 seed Caroline Wozniacki. Lisicki has won her only previous meeting with Safina, in three sets in the first round of last year's Australian Open.
Rounding out the last eight were No.4 seed Elena Dementieva, who beat Elena Vesnina, 61 63, and Francesca Schiavone, who pulled off a minor upset over No.26 seed Virginie Razzano, 62 76(1). Dementieva and Schiavone have split their eight career meetings, and this will be their first on grass.
"I know Francesca very well. I used to play in the juniors with her," Dementieva said. "She has a good grass court game. She has a good slice and some tricky shots with her forehand, and she's aggressive with her serve. She has done quite well this tournament. I expect a tough match against her."

Baipai Thai Cooking School Class in Bangkok
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Baipai Thai Cooking School Class in Bangkok. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
It was a great experience. Chef Noi and assistant Darin were both professional and fun. We had an enjoyable time cooking and eating the fruit of our labour with new found friends. Highly recommend people who have spare time to spend in Bangkok.
My son, husband and I had a wonderful experience at this cooking school. The food was amazing and the staff at the site were just lovely. The class is suitable for even the novice cook (my hubbie has never cooked a meal in his life). A definite must do on any visit to Bangkok!
Had a great time learning about Thai cooking. I do not do a great deal of cooking and the staff explained everything clearly and made the day most enjoyable.
It was fun and interesting, people are very friendly.
This was a great activity for us and we had a great time. Gave a good introduction to the basic flavors and techniques that one could expect in a few hours. Was fun and our guides were attentive and entertaining. Gift shop had a nice selection of gadgets and souvenirs at very reasonable prices. I will attend again next year and choose a different menu.
Interesting, fun ,well organised and presented. Have recommended the course to our tour guide to recommend to others. The food was delicious.
What a fun day. From the pick up to the drop off, everything was well done. We consisted of two adults and two teens and with four other people we became a class. We cooked everything from scratch, made our own curry paste and enjoyed eating all of it. Simple recipes of Papaya salad, Thai green curry,pandanus chicken and coconut egg custard. "Nat" and the Chef were both great fun and we laughed a lot. Thanks for a great day, don't hesitate to do this
Very well organized and a lot of fun.
Fantastic - definately worth doing. Nat and her Chef made our day
Michael J
What a lovely setting and we were looked after extremely well. The cooking was a lot of fun.
Absolutely most favorite part of my trip to Bangkok. The school was uber professional and it was a great time all around.
Baipai is an excellent cooking school. We learned a lot about thai food and had heaps of fun at the same time. This is our third time at Baipai and we thoroughly recommend it.
I would do this again! My daughter, who doesn't cook, enjoyed it as well.
fabulous from start to finish well worth it woulf recomend to anyone
Great fun in a great location! Really helpful if you'd like to improve your notions of Thai cuisine.

" We're Well Prepared" Jeff O'neill On Lockout
Posted 15 July 2003 - 06:30 AM
NHL players say possible lockout dominates plans
League must take the lead on talks, Leafs' Tucker says
WINDERMERE, Ont.—Even on a picture-perfect day for 18 holes in the Muskokas, Carolina forward Jeff O'Neill admits it's hard not to let one's thoughts wander to the wild and wacky summer it's been in hockey and the storms clouds brewing overhead.
"Sure, it is," O'Neill said yesterday when asked whether the potential lockout after next season was on a lot of players' minds this summer. "For the guys who make 10 million bucks a year or whatever, they don't care. For the guys that are going to be out of work for a year ... we've all been putting our money away so we're well prepared for a long work stoppage."
O'Neill and many of his NHL peers, including Eric Lindros, Darcy Tucker and Shayne Corson, took part yesterday in the first-ever Windermere Good-as-Gold Open to support the Canadian women's Olympic hockey team and Muskoka Interval House, a women's shelter.
Tucker, who has spent most of the off-season relaxing on his boat on Lake Rosseau, said he doesn't want an extended vacation that would stretch far past September of next year. The Leaf said he's hoping to see some constructive talks between the NHL and the NHL Players' Association this season.
"I don't think it's something that's going to get done overnight, that's for sure," Tucker said. "Obviously, there has to be ongoing talks throughout the year. That's what most players would like to see, is talks towards something.
"But if the NHL isn't going to make themselves available to talk, it's going to be difficult for us to get something done. It's up to Gary (Bettman, NHL commissioner) and his people to make the first move and get this thing going, because we'd love to sit down and talk but nobody's made any headway from their side. We like the status quo."
Former NHLer Marty McSorley, a co-chairman for yesterday's fundraising tournament, was one of NHLPA head Bob Goodenow's main lieutenants when he was a player rep, but is now technically part of the management side as a coach with Springfield, the Phoenix Coyotes' AHL affiliate.
"It's a different climate right now, as every negotiating period is," McSorley said. "I think the ownership group is stronger. I think that the players in '94 showed a tremendous amount of solidarity, but that was close to 10 years ago. For the most part, the vast majority of players are a different crew.
"I think that the owners are looking at this as an opportunity to force the game and put it where they want it to be financially. It's going to be very interesting."
McSorley said the best compromise could be some sort of soft salary cap with a luxury tax.
"I'm not sure if the owners think that's the right thing to do," he said. "I'm not sure if the players feel that way. If the players want the status quo, there will definitely be a lockout. If the owners are trying to get a very solid salary cap, there will definitely be a lockout. I think a tax would probably solve not having a lockout, but I'm not sure it would satisfy the desires of one group or the other."
Brad Tapper, a Scarborough native who plays for the Thrashers, said he's worried a lockout could hurt teams in the south.
"It takes a lot to get fans into hockey in the south. And if we go into a lockout, we might lose fans there. Sometimes we only get 10,000 or 11,000. For us as players, we have to realize what's at stake here."
For his part, O'Neill is scratching his head about the events of this summer.
"The feeding frenzies of the past with the free agents have come and gone, I guess, with the lockout coming up. The game's changing. It's not the same as it used to be. Whether it's for the better or worse is not for me to say, but when you see a guy like Paul Kariya sign for $1.5 million, it's weird."
O'Neill also expressed some sympathy for the plight of former Leaf goalie Curtis Joseph, who is in limbo after Dominik Hasek came out of retirement for Detroit.
"He donated his career to the Wings to try to help them win a Cup and they just kind of turned their back on him. That's the way hockey is at the end of the day. We do make a lot of money and we are treated well and we've got a good lifestyle, but we're just a piece of meat at the end of the day because organizations will turn their back on you in a heartbeat if something better comes along."

Hey Brad in the north 10 to 11,000 fans at a game is a lot and is sometimes the norm.
This issue is a power struggle with a lot to lose. Hopefully there won't be "my way or the highway" or an "arrogant stand off" attitude in the negotiations.

Blackhawks, Devils, Islanders, Bruins, Pens.....all because of the Bettman era and what it's done to the game.

GetReal, another generalization without any facts to back it up.
I mean, this isn't even taking into account all the outliers... take Buffalo out of the North and every team has at least 93.0% attendance! Take Dallas and San Jose (have had recent success) as well as Los Angeles (second biggest city in the US) and every team has less 83.8% attendance!
GR, here are the facts. Generalizations don't work.

Where are your facts, GetReal? Oh yeah, they don't exist.
Hey Brad in the north 10 to 11,000 fans at a game is a lot and is sometimes the norm.
If you look in my previous post, the lowest AVERAGE attendance for a "Northern" team is 14,749.
10,000-11,000? You need to get real.

I see a nasty lockout coming... too many Jagr/Holik salaries as owners cry poverty... no matter who or what has caused the financial difficulties some franchises are in, the danger is real and the league needs to address the direction of salaries. Players, obviously, won't want to make concessions - they'll feel they worked hard to get here, let the next generation of players deal with it.
For a hockey fan - and I consider myself to be a hockey fan above a Devil fan - this is going to be a depressing time. Remember how long it took baseball to 'come back' and that took McGwire... we don't have that kind of exposure or superstar - you think most of North America would care if Mario Lemieux was on track to break Gretzky's goals record? A lockout could doom some of the franchises, but not doing anything will doom them all.

"Bring Them On" sure George, your arrogant "my way or the highway" policies and remarks pissed the Iragi off more... 32 unnecessary US military deaths so far since G. W.'s remarks and dozens are wounded. It continues daily. Thanks Goerge. There are now 10-25 attacks against US soldiers daily.
Smart mouth, arrogant Bush, his kids are safe.
The BUCK never stops at BUSH if it's bad, he finds someone to take the blame for him, ie: Tenet's mea cupa.
Impeach G. W., the Iraq war was built on his lies...... lies........lies.

In 2001-2002, we only had two games out of forty-one with under 12,000 attendance, one at 11,420 and one at 11,731.
2 out of41 is "the norm"? Especially since we're considering the team with the third-worst attendance in the 20 Northern-most teams...
GR I do not think I "went into orbit," I think I reacted to one of your many blanket statements with facts, not figures made up that don't hold true to any real fact.

The point that I made point in first post to this was it wasn't only the south that would hurt because of a lockout but that the north would suffer as well.
Tell me you can't agree with that, Sheeps?
So after that you can go where you want certainly your choice but don't put it me about average attendance or stats because that wasn't my point and if you read it again you see that.
Have a nice day. And Sheeps you did react. You read what you wanted to read and wanted to show how good you are getting stats when that wasn't necessary because it doesn't alter my point.
Again have a nice day. As for my many blanket statements, life is made up of blanket statements without facts to get the idea across and you asked for this, just ask G.W. or re-read Goerge's remarks.

It sounds like an impending lockout is on it's way and could be long and/or ugly. By the looks of this article, no one seems to want to get things started, either.
The fans obviously are the ones who are going to suffer and it will be worse in the South. I do think soon as the puck is ready to be dropped that the mainstream crowds will be more than eager to get back to the game.
Kudos to you Sheeps, stats and all!

Sure, everyone will suffer, that is not what I got from your original post. You were saying that the norm for Northern teams is 10,000-11,000. The New Jersey Devils have poor attendance but have only had 11,000 some attendance figures twice.
You give a figure, it's not right.
You say it's the norm, but it isn't.
You dislike G.W. but basically say, "He makes blanket statements, why can't I?"
The only way to directly address blanket statements is to use facts. Go ahead, call it an attack. What was I supposed to do, keep telling you that your blanket statement was wrong, over and over? No. I wasn't trying to prove that I am good at getting facts, I was trying to prove - and did so successfully - that your blanket statement was wrong. It still is.

any lockout over 5 months would be like a death blow to hockey in the south.
Hockey in the South will be just fine, given time and a little marketing. Trust me. Just for an example, my (former) home team, the Birmingham (Alabama) Bulls of the ECHL had 8 10,000+ crowds out of about 36 home games between 1/93 and 1/94. This was a minor league team that got next to zero advertising. Birmingham also had a WHA team that got good attendance years earlier.
Southerners in general love hockey, once they get used to it. They also generally love defensive, grinding hockey. Nashville will be okay, especially if they start winning more often.
And BTW, Atlanta IS NOT the South, it's a suburb of NYC.

MOSINEE, Wis (WSAU) The possible sale of the Wausau Paper mills in Mosinee and Rhinelander is part of a broad disagreement between the company and its largest stockholder. Hedge fund company Starboard Value LLC of New York wants the company to do more to boost its stock price. They say either the more-profitable tissue paper business should be spun-off into a new company, or all of Wausau Paper should be sold. Starboard owns about 14-percent of Wausau Paper stock.
Starboard nominated three people to Wausau Paper board of directors a few hours before the mill-sale proposal was announced. If the three new board members are approved, Starboard would effetely take-over the company with Starboard CEO Jeff Smith becoming the new leader of the company. Shareholders will vote on the new board members at Wausau Paper's annual meeting this spring.
Starboard has also advocated moving the company's headquarters, and was a supporter of closing the Brokaw mill last year -- saying it was an under-performing asset.

Service was excellent - Free shuttle to airport.shops close by. Pool
No fridge in room
Good location, clean, free parking, friendly staff.
Only entrance is through lobby-- a long walk from upper level parking. No fridge.
The staff was courteous. The room and bedding were clean. It was quiet. The breakfast was a plus.
Only one elevator was operable. Limited parking space.
servicing is excellent and installation ...
Location, free parking (first come, first serve), quiet room (5th floor, facing the back), McDonalds across the street -- everything you'll need while you wait for your flight at LAX.
The slowest elevator in the world; weak wi-fi signal in the bedroom (but very good in the business center). No minibar in the room.
Continental breakfast
proximity to the airport and car return
parking was full
Comfortable and good location for LAX. Clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. Good quality bedding/pillows. Early flight did not permit using breakfast facilities.
Fantastic beads. Pretty decent breakfast (for the price). Great and timely shuttle service. Quiet, clean comfortable rooms. Great place for a quick night between flights at LAX. I would definitely return.
easy to reach, best location to go to the airport
too cold ( air condition) , swimming pool too little
Just a little problem with a white sweater because the stuff got confused and went down as a blanket but we could get it back
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was very close to the airport, excellent shuttle service! Definitely would stay there again if I have to stop a night to wait for a flight.
great airport location
nothing - all good for a one night stay
Breakfast and Facilities are excellent.
Very nice hotel. Front desk very welcoming. Nice breakfast. Needed something close to airport. Fit the bill.
Parking tight but had a spot for us. Not really a hotel where you would walk to places, but did the job for us. Weird smell in the hallway, room seemed good.
location free wifi free parking close by 711 and McDonalds
We landed late at LAX after a transatlantic flight and needed somewhere close by so we could pick up our hire car and have somewhere which would allow us a good nights sleep ready to start our holiday the next day properly. The hotel worked out perfectly for this purpose, the room was large, comfy, dark and most importantly quiet. It is very close to the airport but airplane noise was not a problem
This hotel was clean enough. It was also so close to every attraction. Great location, since behind it is a 7 eleven. There's also a McDonald's across the street.
The pool was very small, nothing like the picture. A couple of the staff members were not the friendliest( not all though). I must say, the breakfast wasn't too good. The pancake machine maker is very slow. When the line gets long, you have too wait a while. The view isn't the very best, but it's fair.
Everything ok except
When I arrived on the first day and frazzled from the Car rental place waiting two hours to get my car. I entered into the property and asked them to make sure my record of staying here and booking was applied to my gold card. After that I asked for a bottle water being parched and they told me points or water but not both I said really??? Not a good welcome all over a $.89 bottle of water????? By the way you had a car rental place there at one time and discontinued why that would have been a great service. Even if it was just thru the peak season.
I called the hotel and changed the check-in date of my reservation( from14 August to 15 August 2014)two days before I go to Lax.The registration staff said it was ok and he made the modification of my reservation. But today I went to the hotel and check in,I was told my reservation has not be changed and it was expired .I must have to charge for the booking room.it is ridiculous ! I have to book another hotel in the midnight after 14 hours flight.The experience Is so terrible.
Great service. Good Location. Free Wifi and fast. Clean and comfortable room. Breakfast included. Cool pancake making machine. Nice gift store, with some great basics. Need boxer shorts and viola! Short walk to McDonalds, 7/11, Sport Cuts Babershop and Sizzlers too. Would stay again on a quick stop over. REALLY great airport shuttle drivers. friendly and willing to take you to other places on the shuttle too.
Maybe bring the price down a little.
Clean rooms and friendly staff.
The fitness room lacked free weights but was clean and had good air conditioning.
Very close to rental car pickup comfortable room and good breakfast - just perfect for recovering from long flight and then moving on refreshed
nothing really
size rooms location
breakfast slow elevator pool in the shade
Location, Free WIFI and Free parking
Parking was crowded. Breakfast was not attractive.

Buncombe County authorities are conducting water rescues after a creek flooded in Woodfin north of Asheville.
Capt. Chris Dorsey with the Woodfin Fire Department said the rescue effort began shortly after 3 a.m. Tuesday.
At least 10 people have been rescued after the water flooded several homes. Three people were taken to a hospital for evaluation of possible hypothermia. No serious injuries have been reported.
At least three fire departments and the Red Cross are working in the area.
The National Weather Service has issued urban and small stream flood advisories for 11 counties in western North Carolina. A flash flood watch also is in effect for much of the western part of the state.
A tornado watch was in effect in 14 counties early Tuesday in western North Carolina.

Help! My parents are overspending
Chances are your parents taught you the value of a dollar. Is it time to return the favor?
It's been decades since your parents taught you about spending and saving, and now their behavior makes you wonder if they've forgotten everything they taught you. And yet they might see your questioning as an intrusion. What's a perplexed adult child to do?
Financial planner Keith Klein, of Turning Pointe Financial Management in Phoenix, says he's seen it before, and most changes in spending can be traced to one of two things. The happier one is a "bout of euphoria."
That often happens in early retirement, when parents have the time to re-engage, or engage at a deeper level, in an old passion. Examples would be working out more often and hiring a personal trainer, spending more on photography equipment or taking classes and buying equipment related to those.
Klein saw his own father go through such a change in spending. His mother died when she was 48; when his dad began to date, he spent a good deal more on dinner and entertainment. So a positive uptick, Klein said, is generally a result of something good, like retirement, or a negative turned into a positive, such as recovering from divorce or death of a spouse.
Other times, people who've spent their lives being frugal feel like the "someday" they've saved and sacrificed for has finally arrived. Some may be right, Klein said, but others may need to talk with a financial planner about "longevity risk." A splurge isn't a bad thing if the parent has the resources. However, adult children frequently do not have a realistic idea about their parents' finances, Klein said. It's easy to see their resources as unlimited (or to at least hope there's enough) and to want to see them enjoy life or check off one more thing on a bucket list. In truth, some older people are spending more than they can afford and are taking on debt).
When it's cause for concern
A change in spending isn't always celebratory; it can also indicate that something is amiss. It can signal depression, a gambling habit, drinking too much, or it can tip you off that a parent is being scammed. (It might be time for you to take a role in managing their finances.) It could also be a sign of dementia. Klein said in the latter case, there is frequently denial on both sides.
"I had one client who thought her husband was beginning to have issues with dementia ... she thought it had been going on for about six months. She asked friends if they had noticed a change, and they said, yeah, things had seemed different for about the past 12 to 18 months."
So when spending patterns change, Klein recommends asking their friends and neighbors, "Is there something I'm missing?" He said that what adult children want to watch for is something that seems out of character or a big change from the person's usual decision-making process. An example might be a homebody who loves to garden deciding to take a trip around the world.
Trudy Schuett, who chairs the Regional Council on Aging for Western Arizona, said it's important for adult children to find out what's driving a sudden change. If Dad buys a new car when there's no need, or Mom decides to give away a vacation cottage, that may be a sign the adult child needs to visit and spend some time figuring out what's going on. "You may feel you can't tell a parent what to do... but a child does have a responsibility to get the help (the parents) need," and to do that you may have to do a bit of detective work, Schuett said. "This is no time for concern over hurt feelings or worry on the child's part that maybe they're sticking their nose in where they don't belong," she added. "The Area Agency on Aging in the state where the parents or children reside is a good place to start for information on early symptoms of Alzheimer's or several other conditions that can cause radical changes in behavior."
Still, if a parent prefers not to discuss personal finances with you, there's not a lot you can do about it. Klein said his own father would occasionally run an investment idea past his financial-planner son, but that he did not share details of his own financial situation until he was aware that he was near the end of life. Klein said that's not at all uncommon for members of the Greatest Generation. (At the risk of painting with a really broad brush: "The Depression-era people never talked about money. The Greatest Generation were great savers but didn't talk about money. The baby boomers spent it all. And Generation Xers are more open to a dialogue," Klein said.)
Protecting your children
Schuett said one thing middle-aged adult children can do is to keep their own children from facing the same situation. "In your 50s, have a conversation with your children . . . and make sure your wishes are on paper, and that all your children understand."
Decide how comfortable you are sharing personal information with them. Is it OK for your doctors to share information? Would you want to have them to be able to monitor your bank accounts? How about checking your credit scores and credit reports with you? Someone should have power of attorney to make decisions if you are unable to do so. That sort of direction makes a tough situation easier on adult children, Schuett said. "That way, they know what you expect of them."
You can check your parents' credit scores with them by setting up accounts at Credit.com; that will give your parents two scores every month. A big change in the numbers could indicate something is amiss and should be checked further. You can also go over their credit reports with them (here's how to get their credit reports for free), to be sure the information in accurate. These steps can help detect identity theft as well as alert you to changes in spending patterns.

Its their money. Stop being greedy and let them do what they want with it.
Stop crying about how someone who worked all their lives won't give to their whiny crybaby greedy liberal children or grandchildren.
libs are never happy when someone has more than them even if its their own parents!!!
I think one of the things you people are missing is what if your parents need care in their advanced age? Hospitals and nursing homes charge a *lo* of money, and frankly, I do think it's your own responsibility to make sure you have money set aside for such an issue. Funerals cost a lot of money, too. My great-grandmother, bless her, she worked while sick with cancer, saved enough money to cover her medical expenses, the funeral expenses, and even bought the grandchildren Christmas gifts before she passed away. While I do think you should have fun and spend your money the way you want, I really hope that you are taking care of your remaining responsibilities and not leaving it for your children. They didn't ask to be brought into the world, they didn't ask for your burdens.
Just call me Blessed! My only 2 children, both hard-working and self-supporting, each encouraged my wife and I - on separate occasions - to spend our money enjoying our retirement and don't think about leaving anything for them. It almost brings me to tears; especially when I look at some of the lazy, selfish ingrates some of our friends have raised.
Let me begin with I am exceptionally grateful for what my parents provided for me and do not in any way begrudge them all the happiness they deserve in their golden years and I do not expect an inheritance - by all means, ENJOY IT! However, that being said, my father has been irrationally irresponsible with his finances post retirement, living as if everyday is his last and he has no need to plan on having expenses. His moto is that he earned his retirement funds and wants to enjoy them. A boat seemed like a nice way for him to spend his time and would have been ok if it had stopped there but it didn't. Everytime we turn around there is another purchase. he is going through his savings like water and we fear a long happy retirement will not be in his future if he continues down this road. Planning only goes so far if the planning stops when the spending starts.

County Superior Court Judge Timothy R. Walmsley has sentenced Patricia Collins to 15 years on Tuesday for killing a Bryan County deputy in a wrong-way crash.
Collins, 23, will have seven years to serve in jail and eight years probation. The terms of her probation include participating in random alcohol screenings; getting involved in organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving; avoiding places that serve alcohol; and avoiding contact with the victim's family.
Collins was charged in connection with driving on the wrong way on Interstate 95 in June 2012 and killing Bryan County Sheriff's Deputy Bobby Crapse.
She pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and DUI in court Tuesday morning.
"Sgt. Crapse was a father with young children, a well-respected deputy and a
community leader," said Chatham County District Attorney Meg Heap. "This is a
senseless tragedy that affects so many in our community. We are hopeful that
the conclusion of the case will bring closure to his family."
The judge considered her sentence based on evidence presented in the case. The court heard from witnesses that determined the length of her sentence.
Becky Crapse, the victim's mother, gave an emotional statement saying she will never forgive Collins.
A psychotherapist who was working with Collins for the last 18 months said she does not suffer from any type of alcohol addiction.
The courtroom also heard from several Bryan County deputies who worked with Crapse.
Collins had already agreed to plead guilty, but her sentencing had been delayed because defense attorneys say they had yet to agree on what charges Collins will plead guilty to.
WTOC has also learned that the judge had ruled that Collins' blood-alcohol level was admitted in court. The defense had argued that it should not be because they claim Collins was unconscious at the time the test was given.
A GSP report showed Collins' blood-alcohol level was 0.139 after the crash.
Georgia law makes it illegal to drive with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or
Crapse leaves behind a wife, three children, parents and extended family.

Gay Torremolinos 2014.
Torremolinos is one of the most popular gay destinations in Spain. More than 30 gay and lesbian venues, all within a compact Torremolinos gay village called Nogalera, make it a very special experience for visitors from abroad. Torremolinos rather bad name in mainstream tourism has nothing to do with its popularity among Spanish gays.
It is all about party, late at night, indeed..
Gay Torremolinos is Nr 1 week-end destination for guys from Madrid, as well as the place to go out for young crowd from Malaga city. Torremolis as a nightlife magnet attracts hundreds of gays and lesbians from all over the coast, so when you want a Saturday Night Fever, then you go Torremolinos.
Dont't expect to find a lot of scene daytime. Go to the Torremolinos gay beach, shop till you drop, explore medeaval Malaga and Granada if you are after the culture, or even go ski in Sierra Nevada. Ski resorts are just 2 hours drive.
Gays are still very visible in the streetlife, Torremolinos has a very large gay population, and a very young one!
Our Gay Torremolinos top 10 things to do for any gay tourist:
1.El Gato / Eden Gay Beach. The very central gay beach of Torremolinos is a place to meet local guys. And you really want it, right? Afterwards, this is not Sitges: some 80% of the gay travellers are Spanish, so 80% chance you will find Spanish friends. Beds and sunshades are 4 euros. Grab a printed copy of Gay Map there, have drinks at El Gato Lounge right in front of the beach, make new friends, have a nap to prepare for the night.
2. Shop at Plaza Mayor. This huge shopping mall is just 10 min by train direction Malaga. All major brands including Nike Factory outlet, Zara, Levi's, Jack and Jones, Bershka, IKEA and even a comfortable cinema showing movies in English.
3. Go and visit Malaga city. Just 20 min by train, Malaga old center is a brethtaking beauty. Its Moorish castle Alcazaba is a structure comparable to famous Alhambra in Granada. Main shopping street calle Larios is one of Spain's most beautiful pedestrian areas. Old town with tiny sidewalks, tapas bars and Picasso museum are just a must!
4. Start your night at El Gato Lounge. This gay restaurant and terrace became an institution: big summer terrace with designer lightning and best mojitos in town + the hottest crowd on weekend nights. Young and handsome meet at El Gato before the serious clubbing starts. In front of gay beach of Torremolinos. Lonely Planet Spain guide especially mentioned El Gato Lounge as the most fashionable gay place in Torremolinos. El Gato has free wifi, so bring your laptop or mobile.
5. Have a dinner at Nozomi Restaurant in calle Casablanca. This restaurant run by a friendly gay couple has an exquisite menu, with some Japanese and international tastes. Fresh sushi and good wines. So, if you need that special dinner on a terrace, very central, gay-friendly and inexpensive, go Nozomi.
6. Pamper yourself during your stay in Torremolinos. Do you want more privacy, your own terrace overlooking Mediterranean and an elevator going down to the beach? I do! As a great alternative to hotels, stay gay friendly at Guadalupe Gay Friendly Apartments Torremolinos. This gay run business rents out nice rooms and apartments, just 5 minutes walk from gay bars and clubs. Small bungalows and apartments start at 45 euros a night and have fully equipped kitchens, tv and all amenities. We have heard great reviews from guys and girls staying there gay-friendly and with all the comfort!
7. Drink local wines! Spain has great wines and the best thing about them, they are cheap! So, whenever in the restaurant or bar, ask for a glass Rose, White or Red Rioja.. Mostly of a good quality and inexpensive. Or maybe even a bottle of Cava (El Gato has a fantastic Jaume Serra cava from Barcelona for a merely 15euros a bottle).
8. Flying into Malaga airport take a train going to Torremolinos. Train station is connected to the airport and the journey takes only 15 min, with a train ticket at 2 euros.
9. Do some day trips: there are so many affordable daytrips you can book everywhere: Granada, Gibraltar, Marbella, Tanger in Morocco or Seville. Dedicate at least one day of your stay to an educational trip, most are real eye opener. You are in the one of the most exciting cultural areas in Europe.
10. Enjoy! Stay on the beach as long as you want, eat whenever you want, drink and dance! Time is a relative thing on Costa del Sol. You can not go more Spanish then here..

All this snow we are having now will mean another great Spring of White Water Rafting here in Aviemore on the Findhorn River. Spring-early summer 2010 had consistently good river levels for White Water Rafting and Full Adventure had lots of Spring Stag Dos who from our Aviemore base made the most of the large snow pack that gratually melted to give excellent rafting on the Findhorn river in spring sun shine.
March to June is a great time to book a White Water Rafting trip on the Findhorn and is always a popular time for Stag and Hen do rafting trips. John Mason Full On Adventure's founder has been running Aviemore based White Water Rafting trips on the Findhorn since 1997. As the original company to run regular White Water Rafting trips on the Findhorn we have established ourselves as the specialists for high adventure all day white water rafting trips in Scotland. Our trips are unique from any other Rafting trips in the Aviemore area and probably the UK as we run all day trips where you can take your time to Raft the best Rapids and also stop off from lunch along the way and enjoy a great BBQ afterwards.
A good winter season that's a hit with the skiers, will mean a great Spring run off for White Water Rafting. For stag and Hen groups we can help you find a great base in Aviemore or Inverness for your weekends adventures, so book now to ensure avaibility for great White Water this Spring. We have had increasing numbers coming over to the Findhorn rafting with us, for the day from Aberdeenand Elgin, so if a wild way to wake upto summer appeals get in touch.
We offer free photos of your White Water Rafting trips and often take helmet camera videos as well, all included.
To keep you comfortable with have extra warm paddle jackets to go over our full steamer wetsuits, so all you need to do is prepare for the excitement of some stunning white water without worrying about being cold.
If the snow stays longer than expected, no worries, as we have some great skiing and snow boarding for you until it melts in the river for Rafting.

Hi Carl
email me firstname.lastname@example.com or call me on 07885 835838, i'll be happy to help you, we have loads of awesome stuff for stag dos in May.
Looking to go white water rafting as part of stag weekend on sat 21st April, looks to be about 12-15 guys! Can you let me know if available and a rough price please?
Hi Luke
Re the weekend 21 April next year for WW Rafting.
12-15 people is a good number for White Water Rafting as you could go into two rafts and descent the river with competitive bits along the way, like racing, attacking each others rafts and so on. If that sounds like fun, or we can just run all the rapids what ever your group prefers.
April often has good water levels as we get snow melt and rain into the river, so i would recommend the full day were we spend 4 hours on the river running the two best gorge sections of the river, with loads of grade 4+ rapids and we take a waterproof barrel down the river for all your packed lunches so we can stop on a beach along the way for lunch if the weather is suitable and some groups also like a BBQ at the take out place at the end of the trip. So allow 4-5 hours on the river including lunch, normal meet up is 10am, Aviemore is about half hour from the best river the Findhorn plus a bit of time to get all the on and safety briefs etc, mean you'll be back in Aviemore for about 4-5pm.
We provide thick 5mm full wetsuits, all clean and dry, and thick extra wetsuit jackets on top or water/wind proof tops, plus we give you gloves if cold and wetsuit socks as well as wetsuit booties. By giving you all that extra gear (as well as all the safety kit obviously) you can enjoy the ww rafting and get wet whilst keeping comfortable.
As the original rafting company on the river Findhorn and in Aviemore, we have the most experienced guides and have built up a reputation for running the best trips, with the best guides and giving clients the best kit as well. You'll see we are currently rated number 1 on trip advisor for things to do in Aviemore.
I am quoting you based on 12+ people (prices pp are more for groups of less than 12 people)
The full day trip including lunch is £85pp. (includes packed lunch)
We also run half day rafting for £55pp. (no lunch)
or 2 activities like 1/2 day Rafting and Adventure River tubing in the same day for £110pp (includes packed lunch)
or 2 activities like Full Day ww Rafting on one day and Adventure Tubing on the following day (can be a afternoon session on day two if preferred) is a popular combo package for just £125 including BBQ. (BBQ and packed lunch for £130pp)
or 3 activities over 2-3 day weekend for £150pp. (pack lunch included on 2 days) (£160 with the BBQ as well as 2 packed lunches)
BBQ add on for packages without for just £10pp (good quality locally sourced meats and lots of it, and vegi alternatives if requested in advance).
Pick up by coach with a driver from your accommodation in Aviemore area and return to accommodation after activities is just £10pp add on.
We also have special stag weekend (hill billy style) kayak or canoe trips with over night at the pub (either hostel or camping) for £150pp for the weekend.
To reserve your weekend just return attached booking form, all we need is a £200 deposit and then once your numbers have firmed up or 4 weeks before the event you can pay the balance.
Any questions just ask me via email or call us on 07885 835838 (8-8pm each day)
John Mason

So Tenerife has an infrastructure that caters for every tourist, from young revellers to families. And what's more, because it is located a mere 100 kilometres off the coast of northern Africa it has great temperatures all year long.

Seven Guitars
August Wilson
Directed by Cameron Knight
October 2 – October 11
"Cause I don't like the world. I don't like what I see from the people. The people is too small. I always want to be a big man. Like Jesus Christ was a big man. He was the son of the father. I too. I am the son of my father."
Pittsburgh born August Wilson's Seven Guitars shines a light on the African American male's fight for identity and self worth in the face of societal and personal obstacles. Set in the Pittsburgh Hill District in 1948, the story shows the laughter, beauty, struggle and hope of seven African Americans who dare to dream.

Wolves lurk in the city in this deconstruction of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale. At least that's what Ben believes.

Well, this isn't that story.

The Wiz is a Tony Award-winning musical from 1975. It is a vibrant re-telling of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". Using inspiration from rock, R&B, gospel and soul music, Dorothy "eases on down the road" with the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion towards Emerald City.
Three Sisters
Anton Chekhov
Translated by Paul Schmidt
Directed by Pamela Berlin
April 9 –11, April 21-25
"A person has to believe in something, or has to look for something to believe in, otherwise his life is empty…"
Anton Chekhov's, The Three Sisters, unveils the tragic beauty of provincial life through a mixture of love, laughter, and loss. Olga, Masha and Irina ache for a return to the excitement of Moscow, as their brother, Andrei, accumulates debt and loses power to his wife. As the years progress, the sisters find themselves caught between hopes and disappointments.

Ed Casar's Done-Rite Automotive (www.doneriteautomotive.com) is located in in Mosinee, Wis. Although Ed's father started the business during a 1980s recession, the company's fully-equipped eat-off-the-floor facility is set up to use 2011 technology to make classic and modern street cars and all kinds of racing cars run more efficiently and go faster. A control room that looks like mission control at Cape Canaveral allows customers to see their car being tuned on Ed's Super-Flo dyno (facing his 150-mph "wind tunnel" fan) while watching their car's fuel maps on a computer.
Done-Rite tuned the prototype 2011 Nickey Camaro engine for Stefano Bimbi of Nickey Chicago (www.nickeychicago.net), as well as the 301-cid Hillborn injected small-block Chevy race engine in Paul Zieldorf's fiberglass-bodied A-Altered '38 Fiat nostalgia dragster with its Isky roller cam, Isky aluminum rods, 327 heads, Vertex magneto and needle bearing rocker arms.
