wu-tang clan and ironman, lead us to the promised land
Quarantining The Past: Ghostface Killah's 'Ironman'
When you think back to the first run of solo records from the members of Wu-Tang Clan, you've got a pretty solid list of classics. There's Method Man's Tical, Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, and GZA's Liquid Swords. Over time, we've ranked these three above the likes of Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version and Ghostface Killah's Ironman. That's not to say that these albums get undersold, but Ironman in particular seems like a lynchpin record for the Wu-Tang dynasty. [READ MORE]
Get On Down reveals Ghostface's Ironman Deluxe Box Set (via @pitchforkmedia)
"Ironman will be released as a "Premium Collection: Gold Edition" CD box set, in a limited edition of 2,000 copies. It features the remastered album on a 24k "audiophile gold disc" CD housed in a "cherrywood trophy box" with a plaque, accompanied by a 48-page hard-cover book and a puzzle made out of the originIronal artwork."

Things You Didn't Know You Needed, Part II: Soporific Scarves
The most underrated piece of clothing in menswear is perhaps the soporific scarf - a scarf so plain and unassuming that it's almost unnoticeable. It took me a while to figure this out. I went years buying scarves with university stripes, plaids, dots, fair isle, and even dip dye designs. These are all nice, and I still really like them, but they can be a bit too much sometimes; it often can be more stylish to go with something simpler. Throwing on a simple, soporific scarf, instead of some patterned piece, will add a bit of insouciance to your look, thus making you look a bit more natural and comfortable in your clothes.
If you decide to get a soporific scarf, don't go buying some $5.99 solid color scarf at your local drug store or eBay. Think of this the way you think of your tie purchases. If someone advised you to buy a soporific tie, you wouldn't buy some $9.99 solid color polyester tie (at least I hope not). Instead, you would probably aim for a high end cashmere tie or perhaps a silk grenadine. Likewise, for soporific scarves, because the colorways are so "plain," a lot depends on the fabric. The better the material, the more depth and richness you'll get in the color. Thus, aim for scarves made from incredibly high quality materials and perhaps even feature a slight texture. This scarf below demonstrates this well. It's a viscose-cashmere blend made into a gauzy flannel fabric. The ultra-short fringe at the end adds to its casualness.
Color wise, you'll want your scarves to contrast a bit with your jackets, and perhaps even with your shirts. This is easy and natural when you have patterns, but takes slightly more thought when you're buying a solid color scarf since everything will depend on the color. Thus, if you have jackets in brown and grey, pick a navy scarf; if you have dark colored jackets, pick a light colored scarf. This will help give you the contrast you need. Observe:
So where can you kop some? On the high end, there are really nice cashmere scarves by Begg and Drakes of London. Pringle of Scotland also makes these very nice cashmere-wool blend scarves. Note, however, that while the Begg is a bit bigger than your typical scarf, the Drakes and Pringles are a lot bigger. It's really a matter of how wide you like your scarves to be. On one hand, in addition to being warmer, a bigger scarf will allow you to tie more interesting knots. On the other hand, the can be at times too warm and cover up too much of your chest, which at times can be a little visually overwhelming. You should try oversized scarves out first before you jump ahead and buy one.
On the mid-level, there are Zegna scarves. These are sized a bit more like the scarves you'd typically come across. This eBay seller is offering some. If you're skeptical of the longer fringes, check high end department stores such as Saks; they often carry ones with shorter fringes. Their stock won't come in until FW rolls back around though.
If those are still too expensive for you, there are still a number of decent options. Begg has scarves in an angora-lambswool blend. They're just as soft as cashmere, but feel just a touch more silky. Like their other scarves, they're a bit bigger than your typical scarves, but not as oversized as the Drakes I linked to. For something even cheaper, check out these Johnstons of Elgin's or this light blue lambswool scarf by Barbour. These will be sized like most of the scarves you've come across - about 10" x 68". Note that although the Johnstons' lambswool scarves can be had for as little as $15, and the Barbour for about $25, their color won't be as rich as the color on their cashmeres. In my experience, cashmeres in this size will be just enough to get you by a cold spring day in the Bay Area (so about 45-50 degrees), but not much else below that. Lambswool will be even less warm. If you can manage it, I would recommend going with Johnstons' cashmere scarves if you can't afford one of the more expensive options from Pringle or Begg.

Learn Where You Can See That Nine Minutes Of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS Footage That'll Play In Front Of THE HOBBIT Next Week!!
A few days ago we ran down the STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS trailer releases which will be coming our way in the next week or so.
The film's official site now has a list of theaters where you'll be able to view the whopping 9 minutes of footage (the opening of the film) that'll play in front of some IMAX screenings of THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. You can find said list HERE!
I suppose I should bring a change of underwear...or not wear any underwear at all. Wait...that wouldn't work...
In addition to the trailers listed HERE, INTO DARKNESS' official site also indicates that an exclusive teaser will premiere on their site December 17.

I don't like these 9 minute intro previews

Too hard to not want to see the rest of the movie :(

They should just release the film in 30 to 60 minute chunks on TV
by Margot Tenenbaum
They could save money by spreading their costs out over a few months...make it like the old movie serials. Weekly installments or something.
Dec. 7, 2012, 10:39 a.m. CST
I'd like to see the 9 minutes but I don't want to suffer through 48FPS of The Hobbit to do so :-(
by Wcwlkr
I mean don't get me wrong I'm going to see the The Hobbit but just at good ol 2D 24FPS. I'm hearing too many nightmare stories of the 48FPS besides I'm not a fan of the constant use of 3D anyway I'm good on the old fashioned way. But I really want to see this 9 minute opening.
Dec. 7, 2012, 10:40 a.m. CST
3 Theaters in my area but ...
by DrMorbius
are these 48 fps exclusive. If so, won't be seeing the 9 min. Would like to, but will be watching The Hobbit in good old 24 fps.
Dec. 7, 2012, 10:41 a.m. CST
by Sw0rdfish
I work in Kansas City. The newest location of the Alamo Drafthouse opened in November, three blocks from my office. My thought right along was that I wanted my first movie there to be The Hobbit, but now I see that the location won't be showing the ST preview. Pretty disappointing stuff; I'll be seeing the movie and the trailer elsewhere now. And at some point, I'll visit the Drafthouse. But it all looked as if it would come together so nicely....

DAMNIT, They are showing it at my damn theater. Why ruin the damn movie for me??

I already hate the spoilery trailers we get these days, I *definitely* don't want to see an entire 9 minutes if a movie I'm already going to see.

There's a perfectly fine IMAX theatre here in central London that I'm sure would just love to show it. I'm just sayin'...

by treatment
from the initial teaser trailer ....i saw nothing that remotely suggests exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations nor boldly going where no man has gone before. >>> possibly they do that within the first nine minutes.
Dec. 7, 2012, 11:37 a.m. CST
I HIGHLY suggest seeing The Hobbit in 24 fps
by hollywoodsummers
I've seen it both ways now and 48 fps looks sped up and very distracting (it ruined the film for my friend). Also it does make some of the big vistas or castle/cities look like tiny models (even though they're probably mostly CG). Gollum looks great in both though.
Dec. 7, 2012, 11:44 a.m. CST
@treatment: Perhaps the 'new civilization' is the Federation, Vulcan survivors, and shattered Klingon fleet form a new civilization.
by kindofabigdeal
And we have a 100 year history of life forms that 'we' have already met, but will seem new to the crew in this universe. (think Q)

I've seen the first 9 minutes for about a month now...

The P & M taught me that and it just stuck(Dad's a labor guy, he did it out of respect for the behind the scenes folks, and Mom out of respect for the art). When the Pirates and Marvel movies made post credit scenes standard, that was just icing on the cake.

WTF Seattle?
by DJGryph
So, for Seattle, they have 8 fake IMAX screens listed but not the two largest screens in the city? The 60ft true IMAX screen at the Pacific Science Center should DEFINITELY have this. I would also think they would want it at the 70ft Cinerama screen that's showing The Hobbit in HFR. These are the two Seattle venues where the true fanboys turn out for every major event film in Seattle. Whoever picked the screens listed on that site is a little out of touch with their core fanbase.
Dec. 7, 2012, 1:14 p.m. CST
So the only REAL Imax theater in NYC is not getting it?
by Nemes
Just the fake ones. Way to disappoint.

What Trek is?
by rich nelson
To all those talking about this not showing them exploring strange new worlds and seeking new civilizations and such, name the last Trek film where they actually did any of that. Star Trek:The Motion Picture is the ONLY Trek feature with anything approaching a high concept sci-fi theme. All the rest were essentially shoot-em-ups except for Voyage Home, which was practically a comedy, Undiscovered Country, which was a a slight allegory of US-Soviet relations, and Final Frontier, which was about nothing really. Star Trek hasn't featured exploration and pushing the bounds of man's knowledge since, I don't know when.
Dec. 7, 2012, 2:22 p.m. CST
9 minutes of the Botany Bay floating through space...

Can we at least all agree
by David Duchovny
that the Hobbit is going to suck?
Dec. 7, 2012, 9:12 p.m. CST
My theory? They are all Cowboy Bebop Fans and this movie will rip off Bebop.
by victor82
I've believed this since watching the trailer and reading people go on about Gary Mitchell and "Section31", the Federation's 23rd Century Answer to the CIA/MI6. Cumberbatch may play Mitchell, or Joachim the Augment, but I suspect he is actually playing the Vincent character from "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", only under a different name. You should also reference Mad Pierrot from Session 20 "Pierrot Le Fou". Both characters were augmented agents who were abused by the Special Services who then had to be dispatched at some point by Spike Spiegel. Pine plays Kirk playing Spike Spiegel, if my guess is correct. Only he doesn't die at the end of the series. Pine's agent is not as stupid as Bill Shatner's.

I CAN see it at my local theater/IMAX, which has a vast majority of all the film 'events'...
by Jaka
....but I don't want to. In fact, I'm a little bothered about it. I may even go so far as to get there early to get the seats I want, leave my friends in them and go hang in lobby for a bit. I just have no desire to see it.
Dec. 8, 2012, 2:58 a.m. CST

There are HFR IMAX 3D showings

pitdoc, My town has it at a real IMAX
by Mace Tofu
nothing beats that giant screen, I saw the Avatar and TRON teaser previews at the local Faux liemax and was shocked how tiny those were, smaller than a mall theater. Have not seen a full feature at those, why bother with the real deal nearby. I'm guessing it will be shown at 24 frames as they still use film prints at the big IMAX.
Dec. 9, 2012, 12:21 p.m. CST
The script was written by Alex Kurtzman & Robert Orci & Damon Lindelof.

Question about the 9 min. preview
by lfhlaw
So will the 9 minutes preview Continue throughout the showings? Until the Hobbit leaves the Theaters or is it only for a week or so run??

Management of Change in Water Companies - Case Studies of Moving Fast from Bad to Good to Great
Management of Change in Water Companies tells real stories of real water companies that went through processes of change and achieved their best results ever in just a few years. It reflects the personal experience of the author from leading processes of change in five different water supply/sewage companies, between 10 and 120 years old and serving from 200,000 to 4,000,000 people.

Best Practice Guide on Metals Removal From Drinking Water By Treatment

Because of the difficulties associated with monitoring, historic practices in many countries have concentrated on the quality of water within the distribution network. As a resul
Meeting the Water Reform Challenge
Water policies around the world are in urgent need of reform. Despite improvements in some sectors and countries, progress on meeting national, regional and international goals for managing and securing access to water for all has been uneven. Rallying policymakers around a positive water reform agenda needs to be a high priority and calls for strong political commitment and leadership.

Mapex was not known for great pedals a few years ago, but this Falcon is really nice. It is built like a rock and is extremely smooth. I would not say it is the fastest pedal in the world, but it is plenty quick and it has more power than other lighter-weight pedals. The adjustments are very easy to use and well-designed. The interchangeable beater weights are an especially great idea. The included case, although made to fit a double pedal, is high quality, too.

Right-Handed and Left-Handed People Do Not See the Same Bright Side of ThingsPosted February 11th, 2010 by parbuckle
ScienceDaily (Feb. 2, 2010) — Despite the common association of "right" with life, correctness, positiveness and good things, and "left" with death, clumsiness, negativity and bad things, recent research shows that most left-handed people hold the opposite association. Thus, left-handers become an interesting case in which conceptual associations as a result of a sensory-motor experience, and conceptual associations that rely on linguistic and cultural norms, are contradictory.

Score distribution:
Positive: 29 out of 44
Mixed: 14 out of 44
Negative: 1 out of 44
It sharply fuses the humor and heart of the earlier films with a satisfyingly heavy-metal strength — and a darkness that's more than earned.
The real question for audiences isn't whether Tony Stark/Iron Man defeats the latest supervillain (of course he does), but whether the movie itself rises above the dreaded third-in-a-sequel torpor of "Spider-Man" and "The Dark Knight." Spoiler alert: Yes, mostly, it does.
Here, it's hard not to wish Downey were sparring with his costumed comrades again, instead of trading barbs with the far-less-colorful cast members — old and new — of this busy, sporadically diverting sequel.
The villains are all wrong, the motivations are muddy, even the gadgetry is off. And the swaggering genius at the center of it all has become a preening fool.

May 3, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So first of all, I want to say that I loved this movie, but I do get the hate on it, for it's controversial plottwist.
But there are some reasons why some fanboys shoud NOT be so angry about it;
- first of all, the fake mandarin was set up, to not set up a racist stereotype and more of like a fun character.
- aldrich killian revealed that he was the real mandarin, he even had some dragontattoos across his chest.
- a big part of the fanbase was angry at Tony throwing his arc reactor away at the end, but Tony states that he is still Iron Man and he picks up one of the extremis holders, which will likely mean that he will build an extremis suit, powered by repulsor technology (which has also been confirmed as the new energysource for the suits.) and this will set up a suit that will allow Tony to go into space with it, and this will probably set up the bridge between guardians of the galaxy and avengers 2.
so for me this was a very good movie, and I think they've done a great job with expanding the MCU even further… Expand
May 4, 2013Iron Man 3 is an amazing, funny, and action-packed film that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Now, I never read any of the comics, so I don't know if they portrayed any of the characters wrong, so please forgive me. Iron Man 3 amazes and keeps you laughing your entire showtime, although it is over 2 hours, it never leaves you bored. Every thing is great from start to finish. Now the reason I don't give Iron Man 3 a full 10 is because a few scenes kind of felt like they were put in there just for laughs, although they were great and I laughed till I cried, it sort of drifted just a little away from the story and left you wondering why they put that in there. Iron Man 3 is a terrific movie and I want you to go see it today, if you've already seen it, see it again.… Expand
May 15, 2013Iron Man 3 had a lot of expectations. The second sequel to a hugely profitable franchise, this movie had some big shoes to fill. And the shoe fits, but not very comfortably. Robert Downey Jr. is excellent as usual, playing Tony Stark with such ease and smoothness that he just might save this movie. Iron Man 3 has more packed into its running time than the other movies. More action (or more violent action), more family friendly-parts, and more about Stark. But I feel like the plot is missing too much... explanation. I felt really confused with what was going on at times. I wish that the screenplay was better, but Downey really saved this film. I would say that it's worth your time, but not if you're going into it with a negative connotation.… Expand
May 4, 2013I am not gonna jump on here to disgrace this film in anyway what so ever. It was not a horrible movie, however it was not the best Iron Man, or comic based story for that matter. It began interestingly enough, then the story became weak throughout, and the character development was...lacking. I was really hoping they would build on Stark's problems a little more. I had also wished that they really played around with the relationship between Pepper and Stark more than they did. In the end it is a film worth seeing if you are a fan, but remember you aren't looking at a film masterpiece. In my personal opinion Iron Man, The Avengers, and X-Men: First Class were the best Marvel films as of recent. I felt Thor and Captain America were a little rushed. I didn't like the way they re-portrayed Spidey either. I hope they can come on top with another great marvel film soon enough.… Expand
Jun 15, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm pretty easy to please, and tend to like movies most others don't like, and movies most people do like. This was not one of those movies. They completely ruined the Mandarin, and the fact that Ben Kingsley was a complete hoax aside what was originally portrayed in the trailers reinforces the total disapointment that is Iron Man 3. They shouldn't have cast Ben Kingsley and his version of the "fake" Mandarin all together, and just ran with the burning orange bio-energy wielding Guy Pearce as the Mandarin instead. It would have had a cooler, less misdirecting feel with a better movie adaptation of a super villain.
The other, just as much if not more of a let down what how WEAK Iron Man was portrayed as in this movie. I know it's a typical comic book adaptation movie, where the hero deals with a new situation, gets the crap beat out of him/her, comes back and wins/saves the day/world. The whole movie Iron Man and Stark were like a joke, going through suits like toilet paper and getting crushed like tin cans. This is the SAME HERO that took on an ALIEN ARMY and a NORSE GOD, yet some freak science experiments are able to crush his suit like it's nothing?? This was all very underwhelming for what, in my opinion, wasn't even close to what an Iron Man movie should be like.
I hope he is better portrayed in the Avengers too, and my apologies to those who actually liked the movie, as I'm just stating my personal opinion in this review.… Expand

Red meat has a bad rap. The thing is, it really is good for you. Ideally, go for a cut that is both lean and grass-fed. A recent report from the Union of Concerned Scientists shows that meat from grass-fed cows usually has more conjugated linoleic acid (which has been shown in animal studies to combat cancer) and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids than the grain-fed variety. Plus, meat from grass-fed cows is lower in total fat and calories. As long as your serving is a lean cut, such as tenderloin, feel free to make this smart choice two or three times a week, says Jonny Bowden, PhD, author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth.
Shopping shortcut: "Look for meat that is clearly labeled 100 percent grass-fed," Bowden says. ("Organic" doesn't guarantee the cows didn't have grain.) If your supermarket doesn't carry it, you can shop online at localharvest.org. Be sure to order cuts that have round or loin in the name, like top round or sirloin; these usually contain about eight grams of fat per three-ounce serving.
Make it even healthier: Treat your meat to a homemade rosemary and thyme rub. Studies have shown that cooking beef over high heat can spur the production of certain carcinogenic compounds, but this herb combo can cut the carcinogens by 87 percent.
Bonus benefits: Beef is a great source of protein, iron (a mineral that one in five women are deficient in), and heart-healthy B vitamins.

home > articles > Wolfe Manor Inn, Wolfe Island, Ontario
Manor Inn
Sparkles of gold, scarlet and lavender embrace and awaken the visual senses as you cross the double-door threshold into a magical world of allure and elegance. The sound of crackling logs quietly linger as a rustic, musky scent fills the air from the wood-burning hearth in the living room. A library on the left heeds welcome and you can't help but notice the remarkable antique piano nestled in the corner of the room, and the long, cozy chaise that entices you to curl up with a good book from the shelf's vast collection.
It was around 4:30 p.m. on a chilly February day, and the sun was just setting. Daniel and I were running a bit behind as we spent the entire day birding in "Owl Woods" on Amherst Island and seemed to lose track of time. We departed the mainland in downtown Kingston on the Wolfe Islander Ferry and arrived on Wolfe Island about twenty minutes later. We were quite eager to get to the place where we were going to spend the night but little did we know that the spirits of Wolfe Manor were anxiously awaiting our arrival.
Our hosts, Rod and Martha, graciously greeted us and helped us settle in to our room quite comfortably. We were taken to the East Suite on the second floor, a large, lavish space that featured its own wood burning fireplace.
On the other side of the fireplace was a luxurious spa-like retreat, complete with a huge soaker tub surrounded by candles, and steps that led up to an elegant, glass encased shower. We freshened up and unpacked our bags before gearing up with some of the ghost investigative tools we brought to use on the house tour with Rod and Martha. We were both very excited and couldn't wait to learn more about this mysterious and secluded home that is full of energy and rich with history.
I remember every winter as a child, my family would take a trip to Kingston. This wasn't a regular vacation of sorts, oh no. My family was much more different. Each year we'd gear up on big huge Bird Watching trips to various places around Canada and the U.S. but my most favourite of all was always going to Wolfe Island in hopes of seeing several hundred different owls!
We never left the island disappointed as memories of a Great Horned Owl sitting atop a post or a Snowy Owl soaring past our car lasted with me to this day. My family also enjoyed seeing all of the historic farmhouses and barns that were left abaondoned and empty, imagining what life must have been like back then.
Wolfe Island, near Kingston, is the largest of the 1,000 Islands and is situated in Lake Ontario at the entrance of the St. Lawrence River. To date, the earliest known inhabitants of the isle were the Point Peninsula Indians who resided there from about the time of Christ until 800 AD.
The Iroquois resided on the island around 1200 AD and were followed by European settlers in the late 1700's. It is said that the first white man to set foot on the island was Samuel de Champlain. They were returning from Sackett's Harbour in the winter and crossed the island.
King Louis XIV of France referred to the island as "Ganounkouesnot" in 1675 as an Indian word roughly translated to "long (island) standing up". The French referred to the island as "Grande Ile" however the name Long Island was used until relatively recent times. "Wolfe Island" became the official name on July 16, 1792.
During the early 1800's, about fifteen families lived on the island, not including the Indians that remained. The Indians were very peaceful and supplied the settlers with brooms and baskets and other items, as well as information on the making of sugar and maple syrup.
Marysville, the island's village and center of town was also established in the early 1800's and was named after Mary Hitchcock, the first postmistress of the island who was also a nurse and mid-wife. Ferry services between Kingston and Wolfe Island and Wolfe Island and Cape Vincent, N.Y., were also both first licensed in 1802.
Currently, Wolfe Island is home to over 1,300 full time inhabitants with its population doubling in the summer months with its many cottagers. There are over 40 operating farms and 70 home-based businesses on the island and the community is very close-knit, friendly and independent.
Marysville is also home to three churches, the most impressive is Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church which was built in 1917. Up until the early 1800's, islanders had to travel to Kingston to take part in any kind of religious services, only two settlers of these were Catholic. One of the first Catholics on the isle was Doctor McCrae. He and his wife donated some land and in 1852 for a cost of $20,000 the first Roman Catholic Church was built. People came a long way by horse, foot and boat to attend services.
The first pastor was Rev. John Foley (1854-1861) and during his pastorate, a residence near the church was purchased for the priest and was used until it was destroyed by fire in about 1863. Shortly after this another house was purchased by Rev. Michael Stafford.
Due to the growing Catholic population on the island, a larger and more beautiful church was built and completed in 1872. In 1901, the sixth pastor of Sacred Heart, Father Spratt, planned to build a new rectory and even had plans drawn up. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1915 before they could be carried out. This rectory is still standing to this day, but we now know it as The Wolfe Manor Inn.
The property became a family home in 1980 when Rod and Martha purchased it. Previous to this, Martha remembers going on treks to see the "old haunted house" as her and her sister peered through the nearby forest trying to get a glimpse of the grand edifice.
The priest who lived in the rectory for 15 years before Rod and Martha came in was Father M. Farrell. He wasn't that popular amongst the islanders and this is when the rumours of the house being haunted surfaced as he was known to nail everything shut from the inside as if he was afraid that something or someone was going to come in.
Rod and Martha knew immediately that they weren't alone from the moment they stepped foot inside the home. The place was just filled with energy that they both could sense. According to Martha, "it's a very loving energy" and their "home is like a haven. Spirits stuck in purgatory would go there to get sent home - the god of their knowing was not that forgiving."
Sometimes Rod and Martha can hear the sound of footsteps walking upstairs when no one else is in the home, as if someone was wearing heavy, work boots, dragging their feet. The occasional door opens on its own or a light turns on right after Rod had made sure to switch it off.
One evening, exactly at 12 midnight, Martha was awoken by a large crash at the main entrance on the first floor. She ran to see what happened an noticed that a delicate angel decoration that was securely hung to the wall with several large screws fell off the wall, but oddly enough, didn't have one chip or scratch on it.
Events like this don't bug them anymore however. Both Rod and Martha have become used to the spirits in their home that they rarely pay attention anymore to the strange things that occur. Unless of course it's hard not to notice like the time their friends were visiting and decided to enjoy the scenery and spend the night under the stars in the backyard.
They were just drifting off to sleep when all of the sudden their camper began to rock back and forth, rather aggressively. It was a very calm and still night with no wind so there is no explanation for what happened.
Their son has not only sensed but also saw things right from the time he was a young child. At a birthday party taking place at the house some kids attending came out of the bathroom saying that there were 3 nuns in there with them.
Martha senses that the nuns like to follow their son around to protect him. There is also said to be the spirit of a little boy that likes to sit on the stairs with his head resting in his hands. The nuns like to keep him safe too.
There is a very old cemetery near the property of their home behind some bushes and might very well be the oldest cemetery on the island. When sitting inside the "Widow's Walk" at the very top of the house, you can enjoy the spectacular view and see almost the entire island. On occasion, Rod and Martha have seen very strange lights flickering at night in the dark cemetery.
After chatting with Rod and Martha for close to two hours and hearing all of great history and spooky stories, we were really intrigued and curious to see if anything cool would happen to us during our stay! We thanked them for their time and headed up the old wooden staircase to our suite. The first thing we did was use some of our tools around the room to see if we got anything interesting. The divining rods were really active and pointed out several spots in the room. Even some pictures we took produced some questionable "orb" shots that we can't explain.
After all the investigating, we decided to get comfy and enjoy our suite. Rob had brought us some wood to burn in the fireplace so we lit that and got comfy. After taking a lot hot bubble bath and warming up in our cozy pajamas, we crawled under the huge duvet covers and talked about our day.
Being the "scaredy cat" that I am (yes, Stephanie the invincible ghost investigator), I was a bit timid after all of the stories that were told so I asked Dan if we could leave one of the two lights on either side of the bed on. Dan agreed and in a matter of seconds, we both drifted off to sleep with the soothing sound and warmth of the fireplace crackling in the background.
About an hour later I opened my eyes and peered at the alarm clock that read 11:46 p.m. An intense ice storm had hit around that time too so I could hear the ice pellets belting across the window panes that surrounded our bed. Something was different.
I couldn't put my finger on it until I sat up and tried to look around the room. The only problem was that I couldn't see anything as the room was enveloped in complete darkness. I hastily began pushing Dan in his side and awoke him from his slumber. "Dan, Dan, the lights have all gone out even the fireplace too!"
I began freaking out as I knew that we both agreed to leave one of the lamps on for the entire night. Dan sat up and wondered what had happened. At first, we thought perhaps the electricity went out due to the storm outside, but looked at the alarm clock and realized that was still fine.
We turned the lamps on quickly and eyed the room for anything or anyone! We pulled out the camcorder and tried using our night vision feature to capture a spirit or entity that was obviously in the room as we both felt this incredible amount of energy right there with us.
After 10 minutes of filming the clock turned to midnight. We listened to see if anything strange would happen as it does so frequently to Martha at this exact time. Nothing happened and we were really tired so we decided we were going to go back to bed. That was until I asked Dan to leave the lights on again. Before we went to sleep, we decided to conduct a little experiment, one that we wont' soon forget!
We shut one lamp off and kept the other one all the way up (they were dimmer lamps). We asked out loud, "if there is a spirit here, please show us a sign" and at that very second the lamp that was on began to dim. Darker, darker, and darker it went until there was almost no light in the entire room. I started freaking out and grabbed ahold of Dan.
After taking a few deep breaths, we turned the light up again to it's brightest setting and asked out loud, "if there is a spirit here, please show us another sign that you're here". At that moment again, the light began to dim, but then quickly lit up and them dimmed again going back and forth, light to dark! We decided to leave it at that as this was freaking us out too much.
Dan went to the bathroom and turned on a lamp that was in there. We shut the two beside our bed off and went to sleep. We awoke the next morning with the bright winter light shining on our faces and talked about the previous night's events.
Both Daniel and myself highly recommend visiting Wolfe Manor Inn. It is a must see if you're going to be in and around Kingston. Our stay at Wolfe Manor was one of luxury, escape and retreat, and even a few cool ghostly experiences thrown in there too!
If you're coming to the Inn to relax and get away, this is the perfect place. The setting and atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a spiritual sanctuary or journey - and I don't mean paranormally related! Wolfe Manor Inn is a place to come and get in touch with yourself, to let your emotions go and enjoy all that is offered to your five (or even six) senses!
Rod and Martha are the best hosts you could ever imagine as they are there to help you when needed, but also allow you to enjoy the quiet and peaceful time to yourself, as if the home truly was your own. And when you visit, be sure to ask Martha about the mysterious room in the basement with the disappearing paint on the door!
The Violent Dream by Daniel Cumerlato
Many times over the years we've had strange dreams as part of investigations. Our trip to Kingston wasn't an official investigation, but this didn't stop an interesting dream, or maybe a warning related to the Wolfe Manor Inn.
This happened the night before we were set to leave for Kingston. The dream started out pretty normal. It was Stephanie and me walking down a wooded path leading to the old rectory house that would become Wolfe Manor. It was night-time, but in the dream this seemed to be normal.
Then I was out of my body and flying towards the house. I was inside the house and stopped beside a side door near the kitchen. That's when I heard the screaming. A man and woman screaming in pain and terror from the other side of that door.
I was on the porch watching one of the most violent scenes I've ever dreamed. The man and woman were tied by the hands, a rope looped into the ceiling of the porch, hanging by the wrist. They were scream because invisible hands were ripping away their skin. This couple was being skinned alive!
That's when I woke up.
This made me very uneasy about our trip. I didn't believe this was real, or that it ever happened during the history of this house, but I was unnerved by the thought that it may be an omen of terrible things to come. My hope was we were dealing with an angry spirit not wanting to be disturbed... but I couldn't be sure.
The worst part of this entire experience occured when we got to Wolfe Manor. We were getting the grand tour when I saw the sidedoor and the porch for the first time. They both were exactly as they appeared in my dream.

Hi people,
Just a slight problem, I have the original site with individual product pages (not ecom section) with great detail and images etc
I have added a button (Add to Cart) and named it the correct URL in /products/PRODUCT/Add
Which works and add the product to cart, but it throws you back to the homepage, which would be confusing for browsers.
Does anyone know how to make sure when you add the product from another page/section it adds and keeps you on the actual ecom product page showing what they have added?
Hope this is clear...

Rated 5 out of 5 by GoVikes Love the Hotel The hotel was awesome. The staff was great to us and the location was perfect. My only issue was the black lace thong that was on the back cushion of the couch. It was not mine. Needless to say it was gross. May 28, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by SpgFan Quite Good To start, our flight to Seattle was delayed by almost 3 hours, so I had to call them to give them the heads up that I wouldn't arrive until the wee hours of the morning the next day. They were super nice and said no problem. Someone would be there to assist me. Sure enough, our check in process was quick and painless, and we were all in bed by 1:45am. I'm positive that while I received a few extra points for being SPG Gold, they did not upgrade my room. I doubt this huge hotel was completely booked, so there is a part of me that wished they had automatically upgraded my room to a higher floor or Club. I didn't ask because I was super tired, and only wish now that front desk staff had done it based on SPG recognition. I had some boarding pass printing issues that was not resolved quickly, and I had to walk around the hotel to three different printers to get the job done. Overall, thank you to the hotel management because it was another wonderful night's sleep. July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Carlos65 Director -Insurance Company All of my contacts with staff were excellent. I enjoyed my stay and the walk to the convention center was good for us as we needed the exercise. October 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by cindy02 A great hotel to stay in. We loved our stay. Although we found that both our rooms needed a new matress. My room had a very lumpy matress therefore did not sleep well at all. May 28, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jen44 Very Disappointed We were at the Sheraton, not of our choice, but it was mandated for the function that my son was a part of that being Regional NW ACDA. (a youth choir event) Our room was old and out dated and not the quality of any of the other rooms that fellow participants were staying in (remodled and up to date) yet we paid the same rate. The fan in the restroom did not work so every time we showered we had to deal with the "steam issue" and the towel rack with the bath towels actually hung IN the shower. The grime on the light fixtures was so thick that the first two times we showered it actually sluffed off onto the counter top. The first night of our arrival, I asked for the wet bar to be emptied as my son is Autistic and we bring his food with us. We needed the refrigerator for parishables. When I called down and asked for it to be emptied, I was told they would gladly do it for a $30 to $50 fee. When I again emphasized the reason we needed it emptied, the hotel complied emphasizing that there would not be a fee. Upon checkout I again spoke to the SPG person checking us out and was again assured that there would not be a charge. Received my final "personal folio" today and guess what...not only is there a charge but it is a $189 charge. I have called and been assured that it will be refunded to my card in 5-7 days. This is the first time I have stayed at a Sheraton and will most likely be the last unless I have no other choice. Very disappointed. March 18, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by C321 Very comfortable but overpriced. The room was quiet, clean and very comfortable promoting business work and rest. Furnishings were also very good. However, there are very few "extra" room amenities that don't come with a significant extra charge if they are available at all. Even Internet or house phone calls normally add significant cost to the already expensive room. July 8, 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by alwaystravel Beautiful hotel - FILTHY bed This was my second stay at this hotel. On the first stay, I discovered that the bottom sheet of the bed was placed in a way that left about 18 inches of mattress exposed at the foot of the bed. Most customers are unaware of this highly UNHYGENIC practice because, after all, no one pulls away the top sheet and blanket to see it. The sheets are not long enough to be tucked at the head of the bed and the foot. Imagine sleeping in a bed where "all of humanity" has also slept? The sheets are changed, but the foot of the bed is never cleaned. Think of all of those dirty, sweaty feet that have been there before you! I took a photo of this nastiness and the Director of Front Office Operations agreed that this is poor housekeeping. He assured me that he would address the problem. On my most recent (second) stay, I found that nothing has been changed. The foot of the mattress was not covered with the sheet. Upon checkout at the front desk, I was answered with a shrug of indifference........ Flat sheets are meant to be top sheets. They are not manufactured in a great enough length to properly serve as a bottom sheet. SOLUTION: Longer flat sheets (probably not possible), or FITTED SHEETS. June 13, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5 by Seahawk24 some discomfort We have always been very pleased with our stay here, but the last two times we have stayed the cleanliness of the rooms have been sub par. Our last stay the area where people smoke on the steps was terrible we had to go threw a wall of smoke to get into the hotel and our cloths smelled like smoke for a couple hours afterwards. I would suggest a new location. We were up on the 34 club level and someone decided to smoke pot iam guessing in the hallway. We called the front desk to report it and when security came up to investigate they thought it was us that was smoking the pot, it was very discomforting. Security just said they were told different.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Hellski Unhappy Platnium member Arrived and was told I had been upgraded. Got to the room and realized it was indeed bigger but defiantly not renovated. I've stayed here plenty of times to know this room was lacking in decor compared to my other stays. For a hotel like this, since when is the room not provided with complimentary water or anything. Upon leaving the employees where outside with trays of fruit and complimentary water for the next stay. Funny how my room had nothing. I had cut my foot on Sunday nite and went to the Starwood preferred check in and asked for a bandaid. I was told they didn't provide such things. Odd for such a big hotel not to carry such items. When I proceeded to checkout on Monday I explained to the guy behind the desk that I was surprised there was no complimentary water and stuff. He actually laughed in my face and said " your on floor 26 ... That's only for 27th floor and up. I asked him why he thought it was so funny but he continued to laugh. Perhaps he assumed I was a gamer there on the weekend and am not use to such hotels but this is obviously not the case. I have been Platnium for 5 years. And this hotel was not a category 4/5. Will not recommend this stay again. Too bad as all my previous stays were great. September 6, 2012

Bought this because my nails have a tendency to split when I'm growing them out. This product says it can be used 'alone, or as a base coat'. Well, you definitely can't use it as a base coat, because when you put a coloured coat over the top, it will chip off immediately with this underneath it. It has a nice, thick texture and minimises the look of chipped nails, which is a pro. It basically works well as a sealant to let your nails grow out, but so would any kind of polish. Wouldn't buy again, for the price and the fact that it doesn't go well under another kind of polish.

This treatment/base coat contains gel and goes on clear. Packaging says it will strengthen weak nails. I've been using it for three weeks. My thin, dry nails frequently split at the sides and this product has not helped at all.
This treatment/base coat is 3-Free.

I had been looking for something that would help strengthen, protect, and help my bitten weak nails grow out. I found this product at my local grocery store for 6.99 which is a little pricey but I was up for anything. I have been using this product for a couple days now and let me tell you I have already seen results. I use it alone and or as a base coat. I apply one thick coat and it dries quickly, which I love. After I let it dry completely, ill leave it go or put a coat or two of color on top then ill use a different top coat. I saw that a lot of reviews said 'it isn't a good top coat' or 'I put two coats on and it doesn't dry' I just wanted to point out it says directly on the box to only use one coat as a base coat or alone. Not as a top coat. Just use it as its intended and you will get amazing results! My nails are hard as rocks and they already look thicker and it gives a beautiful gel finish. The only thing I will say is a bit annoying about this product is if you use remover just before this product it will bubble up a bit once it dries. Also, if you apply a color too soon it dents if you bump it against something. If I let it dry thoroughly it's perfect! Thanks and try it out :)

For the last year, my nails have been weak and spitting. I love the look of gel nails but I need to have clear, professional nails for my job - don't worry, my toenails are all kinds of wild to make up for it!
This product is a clear gel in a blue bottle and was $8.99 at the grocery store.
It went on fairly thick, no bubbles though as I was careful not to shake it - thank you MUA reviewers!
It did take ages to dry - at least 30 minutes. And that was only for one coat. I solved this problem by painting it on and sitting quietly and watching TV, but I will have to be careful when I paint my nails. This is not a paint and dash kind of product.
The look: pretty close to gel. A tough, smooth, thick coat. Shiny, low key, me. It wears well too, over a week for me. Not sure how polish would be over this.
So all is well in my little world. I removed lippies for the crazy long drying time. This could be a formulation thing; maybe gel just can't dry fast, but they should at least advise about this on the packaging!
So tap, tap, tap, go my steadily lengthening, strong, shiny nails on the keyboard...

I'm now on to my third bottle of this stuff, I obviously love it! I use it as a base coat only to help strengthen my weak bendy nails, this is perfect because the acrylic hardens my nails do they don't bend all the time and subsequently break. My only issues with this product is that it dries out pretty quickly and gets gloopy and stringy after the first month of opening it. I just pop in a few drops of thinner and gently roll the bottle to combine. I also don't like that the brush doesn't reach the bottom of the bottle, which makes getting the last 1/4 of the bottle out really difficult. All in all this is a great product if you invest in some nail polIsh thinner.

The Ontario Reign had no answers for the Utah Grizzlies power-play unit that contributed five goals during a 7-3 blowout at Citizens Business Bank Arena Sunday Night.
The Reign struck first midway through the opening period. Already on the penalty-kill, Grizzlies forward Brad Snetsinger took a delay-of-game penalty for shooting the puck over the glass in the defensive zone. With two seconds left on the 5-on-3 power-play, Ontario forward C.J. Stretch soared down the right boards and centered a pass for the red hot Shawn Collymore. Collymore took the pass and fired a laser top shelf over Jean-Phillippe Lamoureux's glove to take a 1-0 lead.
However, the Grizzlies came roaring back, scoring three unanswered goals on the man-advantage. Lamoureux caught the Reign in a bad line change when he rushed out to meet the dump in and fired a beautiful pass to Snetsinger waiting at the far blue line. Snetsinger came in on a 2-on-0 with teammate Chris Donovan on Kellen Briggs. The Grizzlies went tic-tac-toe and beat Briggs to tie the game at 1-1.
Just one minute later on the power-play, Utah struck again as Grizzlies forward Simon Ferguson passed the puck down low to Snetsinger. Snetsinger walked out in front and slid a pass over to teammate Brett Parnham who buried it, taking a 2-1 lead.
Two minutes later on the power-play, the Grizzlies scored again when Utah forward Tyler Ruegsegger walked out and snapped a shot low on Briggs. He picked up the rebound and found teammate Tim Crowder cutting to the net, and hit him with a one-timer that he blasted past Briggs to give Utah a 3-1 lead.
However, the Reign answered right back just 27 seconds later as Jeff Corey picked up the puck and skated behind the Grizzlies goal. He found Stretch stationed in the slot and hit him with a pass that he banged home to cut the lead down to 3-2.
On a power-play in the final minutes of the first period, Grizzlies defenseman Nick Tuzzolino ripped a slap shot through a screen and beat Briggs to give Utah a 4-2 lead into the first intermission.
Just 18 seconds into the second period, Utah came out and got another power-play goal. Grizzlies defenseman Ric Jackman snapped a shot from the point that was redirected by Parnham past Briggs for his second of the night, taking a 5-2 lead.
Midway through the second period, Parnham completed the hat-trick off a rebound from the end boards that squirted right back in front, taking a commanding 6-2 lead and chasing starting netminder Briggs out of the game. Briggs was replaced by backup Beau Erickson.
In the third, Grizzlies forward Marcus Carroll passed the puck to Jason Fredricks who took the puck and snipped a wrist shot short side over Erickson's glove hand, cushioning the lead to 7-2.
On a 5-on-3 power-play halfway through the third, Ontario moved the puck around until Corey found an open Collymore who blasted a shot through traffic for his second of the night, beating Lamoureux and trimming the lead to the eventual final score, 7-3.
Briggs made 15 saves in the loss and Erickson made 11 saves in relief, while Lamoureux stopped 18 shots in the win. With the loss, Ontario falls to 6-10-0-1 and Utah improves to 11-4-2-1.
The Reign will be back on the ice Wednesday, when they take on Pacific Division rival Bakersfield at home. The Grizzlies will return to the Maverik Center to face-off against the Las Vegas Wranglers on Thursday.

Previous Day's Reflection Next Day's Reflection Go to Today's Reflection
"Before the LORD the whole universe is as a grain from a balance or a drop of morning dew come down upon the earth." (Wisdom 11:22-23)
As I begin to write this reflection, I am waiting for an airplane in the busyness of a large metropolitan airport. I marvel at the miracle of air flight, something I almost take for granted or complain about when there is a glitch. My blasé attitude is in direct contrast to the insight expressed by the author of the book of Wisdom. How different was our world when these words were first spoken and then captured in writing!
In their new book, "Active Hope," Macy and Johnston speak of "deep time," asking us to reach back to include all who have lived and died before us, including the author of the book of Wisdom, as well as all who will come after. When I grapple with this reality of connectedness, I am filled with awe, gratitude and a realistic dose of fear.
How am I making choices today that will allow future generations to still experience the universe as both infinitesimal and of incredible importance? Macy and Johnston suggest that in order to raise our awareness level and channel our concern for the future, we reflect on the following questions and share our thoughts with another:
Some things I love about being alive on earth are?
A place that was magical to me as a child was?
When I think about the condition of our world, some concerns I have are?
What is it that empowers me to action?
As the season moves from fall to winter, may our reflection be filled with Wisdom!
