- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014Unfortunately the main Merchants Row dining room was hosting a wedding reception, so we were moved to a smaller dining room, which was nice. The loud music from the reception was not nice however, and our waitress was very flustered by the change of location. She also mistakenly assumed none of us were of drinking age, which hasn't happened to any of us in many years. I think on a normal night with no wedding reception this would have been a five star experience.Special Features:
- Historic Concord MassachusettsEnglishSetterLoverDined on 9/12/2014Lovely olde Inn near all historic sites in Concord... Walk to olde North Bridge, Emerson, Alcott, Houses.Good food at reasonable prices.Lovely outdoor porch for restful dining. Nice place for a small group event like rehearsal dinner pre wedding or family event for 35 or less.. Enjoy. Reservations best....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food in a pretty settingLjstDined on 9/9/2014The food was delicious--well prepared and interestingly done. The dining room is formal but not stuffy, and the service just what it should be. It was quiet enough for good conversation and if we lived nearby, we'd want to come often.Special Features:
- Great meal in a great settingSeniorTravelerDined on 9/1/2014The Merchants Row restaurant is part of the Colonial Hotel in Concord. This was a wonderful place to eat and enjoy a part of history. The Clam Chowder was excellent as was the Lobster Macaroni & Cheese. The server was always there when you needed him. Next time we are in town, we will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A lovely birthday lunchEleanorDined on 8/20/2014I took my friend out for a birthday lunch and wanted someplace special. The Colonial Inn is lovely inside, the dining room was nice a quiet, the food delicious, and our server, Jasmine, gave us just the right amount of attention. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion.Special Features:
- AnnieDined on 7/27/2014The food was delicious and the people were courteous.Special Features:
- Good Food and ServiceElephantShoesDined on 7/2/2014The dinner menu was more like pub style food. I expected more from such a prestigious restaurant but the food was good. Our waitress was exceptional!!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/28/2014We hadn't dined here in a long time. Atmosphere was very nice for a quiet dinner for two. Classy table settings. Good wait service. It's hard to get an extra extra dry martini even when you specifically order one, but mine was perfect. The oysters with champagne gelee for a first course were excellent. Our main entrees were good too, although I had my heart set on asparagus carbonara until the waitress realized I had the wrong menu and that wasn't being offered that evening. Mango creme brulee for dessert was superb. We will definitely go again soon.Special Features:
- Great, Awesome, so glad we went!lynnfieldmomDined on 6/28/2014This is an old favorite but we had not been for a long time. Am I glad we went! The food was amazing!!! Everything cound not have been better! The service was excellent! We can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/27/2014We were entertaining family visiting from Texas so all ages were represents and the menu was varied and everyone enjoyed their meal.Special Features:
- old and wornOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/26/2014Nice try, but this restaurant is just old and worn. Everything just seems tired. Recipes are poor attempts at modern styles and not very well executed. Our service was very slow, however the other waiter seemed to have his tables well cared for. This place needs an overhaul.
- Perfect spot for breakfast meetingLouiseDined on 6/18/2014Our meeting over breakfast was great. The menu provided wonderful choices, and the staff knew how to move breakfast along at a good pace that allowed us to focus on our meeting discussion points. Wait staff were efficiet and friendly. The omlettes and lox and bagels our party ordered were wonderful and we all enjoyed the perfectly prepare home fries. We also appreciated the non-bread approach, as we are all low carb. Wonderful spot for breakfast or many other types of meetings.Special Features:
- The following 81 reviews are from the Merchants Row at 48 Monument Square reviews archive.
- Not as good as it use to bedeedeeVIPDined on 5/25/2014We recently went for Sunday brunch and was disappointed. The taste of the food has declined. The desserts look great but are not good at all. Much of the food was dried out. This was the same experience last time we went and thought they were having an off day but after today we will not be going back. What a sham it used to be good. . The price of $35 is not justified for this buffet. .
- ExcellentDBdiningDined on 5/25/2014Excellent food, excellent service, excellent environment. We had an excellent time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not quite what I rememberedmp58Dined on 5/18/2014The food was good but it wasn't quite up to my expectations from prior visits. Except for the prime rib special the servings were smaller than I remember. The dessert selection was good. We were still looking for more to eat after dessert and no one in our party have large appetites. The server was excellent and very accommodating.Special Features:
- Lovely old fashioned colonial placeCambridgianVIPDined on 5/17/2014We enjoyed our dinner with the old standards excellently prepared and served. The dining room is classic New England formal, while not being stuffy. It was nice and quiet for a lovely evening. I had the roast beef, which was reliably good. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Concord and wanting good American fare in a lovely historic location.Special Features:
- Very good dining experiencenhmtnbkrDined on 5/17/2014I recently took a first date here and was very pleased with the overall experience. The food was very well done and came to the table quickly. Presentation of it was excellent and while the meals are somewhat pricey, they don't skimp on their portion size. I had the seared salmon, that was perfectly cooked, with just the right hint of moistness without being mushy. My date enjoyed her dish very much, a soup with oysters. The waiter was perfect, with the right blend of knowledge of the wine list (which is very well picked out), and attentive without being annoying.Special Features:
- Improved but bad coffeelincDined on 5/10/2014We'd not been at the Inn for a long time. The menu has changed a bit and has nice variety. It is significantly pricier, however. The food was good but modest portions for the price. The coffee/decaf after dinner was terrible.Special Features:
- Food impressiveConcordddinerDined on 5/10/2014Excellent food...the new menu is impressive...very modest wine listSpecial Features:
- Overall not very happyWinthropbytheSeaDined on 5/10/2014My husband took me here for Mother's Day (we came on Saturday). I ordered the Lobster Roll (at market price of $24.00) & was very surprised that it was not overflowing with lobster for that price - the lobster meat was placed on top of a fairly large amount of lettuce to make it look overflowing. The french fries were overcooked. My husband ordered the Fish & Chips and was very disappointed with the batter, which had an odd taste & fell off the fish before he could bite into it. The waitress was very friendly, but never brought our drinks and corn bread basket until AFTER our meals were brought to the table. The dining room has a lovely atmosphere but the food was definitely disappointing. Back to the Wayside Inn next time.Special Features:
- Mother's Day LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014The food was very disappointing. Steak and burger was overcooked, chicken had no flavor. Prices were ok but wouldn't go back and it's too bad cause we like to take family from out of State to see these types of Inns and restaurants.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/6/2014The food was very good and the service was lovely also. It was perfect for my hard of hearing relative because it was not loud. Very nice extended family evening.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved my waiter!!vpouliotDined on 4/25/2014The food was amazing! I had the Slow-Cooked Salmon with Asparagus, crab salad, pistachio, and chili oil, and my sister chose the Braised Short Ribs with Carrot puree, parmesan croquette, and caramelized onions. Succulent! I also enjoyed a smooth Malbec wine, and the foccacia bread and dipping oil was a perfect starter!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/19/2014We ate there on a busy holiday weekend, but it did not seem to impact the food or presentation. The food was fantastic- impressive chef. The service was slightly off, but only by a touch. The wine list is thin. Prices are low for this quality.Special Features:
- Great food in an elegant atmospheremisspigDined on 4/19/2014If you spend a day in Concord, MA don't fail to eat here, since it's the nicest spot in town and quite affordable. There are several rooms to dine in depending on your taste, but I recommend Merchant's Row which is the more elegant locale. You can choose between the buffet ($22/pp) or the regular lunch menu. Service is wonderful and attentive without being obtrusive. The soups, in particular, are not to be missed.Special Features:
- Bad Start!Teddy7908VIPDined on 3/29/2014We made a reservation for 6:45 and arrived at 6:30. We were told by the maître'd that we were too early and we must wait 20mins. The lobby had no chairs and was set up for a buffet. Because the people who came after us's party wasn't all there the maître'd decided he'd seat us then. We went into the restaurant (which is a maze to get to) and there were open tables everywhere! Also the people he hadn't seated before us was a party of 5-plus. I don't understand why we weren't seated right away. The food was okay, the drinks were expensive and not impressive and the wait staff forgot part of our order. the half sizes are way to small and way to expensive. Overall it was a let down experience and we will not be going back to this restaurant.
- Consider seating reservedTwoWomenDiningAloneDined on 3/28/2014Consider seating reserved parties of two at sunset on the window tables! The place was nearly empty too. Host seated us by the noisy service door in a near-empty dining room on Friday evening. Unfortunate for me---it'll be a while til I want that seat again! Could have been swelegant tho. The seafood soup in saffron broth was delicious and more than made up for anemic salad greens. Wait staff was fine and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Medium rare cheese burger,Pho5Dined on 3/28/2014Medium rare cheese burger, cooked to charcoal, waiter forgot to bring drink with out a reminder when food came. Big almost empty room, hostess wanted to seat us at a small table for two between a post and a large party of people five inches away. The food on Christmas Eve was fabulous. The food on Valentines Day was truly awful. No consistency. Would not recommend or return because you just don't know what you will get.
- Very nice New England restaurant,SGNYCDined on 3/19/2014Very nice New England restaurant, food and service were excellent. Great place to bring friends from out-of-town for colonial atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- nice eveningApaolinoDined on 3/19/2014The colonial Inn has a nice atmosphere - I really prefer the beauty of eating on the front porch in nice weather but the dining room is still a great option. Lots of history and relaxing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Occasion EnhancedPRProfDined on 3/14/2014I met a long-time friend, who I hadn't seen in quite a while, for lunch. From our entrance until our departure, the spontaneous and sincere welcome we received from everyone made the occasion even more special. While I wasn't overwhelmed by my lunch choice (a hamburger), everything else was terrific. Special recognition goes to Ms. Shannon Sinnott, the restaurant supervisor, for her warm and welcoming greeting.Special Features:
- Everything was great exceptlewsDined on 3/9/2014Everything was great except the featured red velvet cake, you could not taste chocolate. I thought it was a German chocolate cake with red coloring, it tasted like a white or yellow cake.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our second time and we'll be backOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/9/2014This is our second time for Sunday brunch at the Colonial Inn and we loved it. The food is delicious and has great variety, the service is friendly and attentive, and we enjoy the open, relaxed atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Find in Concord MAMotherof4Dined on 3/8/2014Four of us went to Merchants Row after browsing the shops in Concord for the afternoon. We had reservations and were seated promptly at 6 p.m. Our server, Paul, was great - efficient, attentive but not obtrusive, and answered our questions as well as made suggestions which were terrific. Dinner was delicious - two of us had the pork loin, one had the salmon, and one had the steak. All meals were cooked perfectly, the timing between appetizers and main dish delivery was perfect, and the wine suggested accompanied our meals beautifully. It was a great dinner, and a wonderful place we look forward to visiting again soon.Special Features:
- too badOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/1/2014fish and chips, a greasy shell encasing sodden fish, could not eat it. Hanger steak, as tough as shoe leather, some pieces could not be cut. Grilled cheese sandwich, greasy and heavy.
- We've been dining at the mainpjplaugerVIPDined on 2/23/2014We've been dining at the main dining room of the Colonial Inn for decades -- it's the stuffy place with a settled wait staff, a settled kitchen staff, and guaranteed traditional Yankee fare. Several years ago they introduced an updated menu to their outdoor dining area, and now the modern world of cookery has moved indoors. If you tune out the acoustic tile ceiling overhead you can still pretend that you're back in an 18th century inn, only with safer fare and more busloads of tourists. But the dining experience is now way beyond stuffy, a tasty haven for localvores and folks spoiled by modern chefs. The Colonial Inn is back on our rotation with the likes of Concord newcomers such as 80 Thoreau and Bondir. Recommended.Special Features:
- Good Food, but Used to Be BetterSatisfiedDined on 2/21/2014My friend and I have loved going to the Colonial Inn over the years because of the ambiance and outstanding food. The past two times we went, though, the food has been good, but not of the quality we remember. We still recommend this restaurant and will be back, if only for the memories. We hope, too, the quality of food improves to its former standards.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service needs work2222VIPDined on 2/20/2014We went to brunch this weekend. The restaurant was not crowded, but service was extremely poor. There were plenty of wait staff around, but after waiting a while we ended up having to run our waitress down to order drinks and finally had to get up and find her to ask for the check. We were tired of waiting by that point, so we skipped coffee. Since this is a buffet, there isn't much more to it than that. The brunch was quite expensive, so it was overall very disappointing.
- Expensive LunchOlReliableDined on 2/19/2014The food was OK, but over-priced. I can't comment on dinner, but I would choose another place the next time I'm in Concord for lunch.
- Suprise with the checkAB01002Dined on 2/16/2014Our Sunday brunch meal was very very good. It was a shame, that the check left a bad taste in my mouth. We were a party of 6. I am used to gratuity being included for larger parties, and our very good waitress made a point of telling me that was the case for us. My problem was that the mandatory gratuity was 20%. Although our waitress was wonderful, I did not think the amount of service she gave us was worth 20% tip. Her tip was about $45 for bringing us beverages and clearing our places. I did not like that at all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's easy to dismiss this East Village café from the outside, but step inside and you'll discover that Café Orlin does all it needs to, and more. The menu is pretty straightforward: salads, burgers, some Middle Eastern dishes like a falafel platter, but also a solid roast chicken, an inventive gazpacho livened by sliced radishes and dabs of guacamole, and a strawberry tart that is just that: a lovely berry mash in a simple pastry cup. Lingering over a cup of coffee is fine with the tall, skinny, and cute wait staff.Brunch

San Gil – Colombia
When you start reading about Colombia and travelling to Colombia you will surely come across San Gil.
A popular place with tourists and adventure sports enthusiasts this town has some thing for everyone.
Boasting fantastic adventure sports like, rafting, paragliding, abseiling and an amazing park which provides an insight into the towns of the region of Santander.
The park is littered with these large trees with moss hanging from them which really gives you a jungle atmosphere and you really wouldn't think you were in the middle of a town with a population of over 35,000.
A wonderful place to visit if you love nature and plants as there are a wide range to view and of course take pictures of.
You will find plenty of gringo's about town as it is a popular place for them to visit and generally station them selves there as it has so much to do.
Last time I was there I spoke to several Canadians who loved the place so much they just didn't get on their flight home and planned to stay and teach English.
I would place this in the best of Colombia as it offers an experience of the country you may find hard to beat else where.

|Nanotopology of Cell Adhesion upon Variable-Angle Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (VA-TIRFM).
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23052337 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Surface topology, e.g. of cells growing on a substrate, is determined with nanometer precision by Variable-Angle Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy (VA-TIRFM). Cells are cultivated on transparent slides and incubated with a fluorescent marker homogeneously distributed in their plasma membrane. Illumination occurs by a parallel laser beam under variable angles of total internal reflection (TIR) with different penetration depths of the evanescent electromagnetic field. Recording of fluorescence images upon irradiation at about 10 different angles permits to calculate cell-substrate distances with a precision of a few nanometers. Differences of adhesion between various cell lines, e.g. cancer cells and less malignant cells, are thus determined. In addition, possible changes of cell adhesion upon chemical or photodynamic treatment can be examined. In comparison with other methods of super-resolution microscopy light exposure is kept very small, and no damage of living cells is expected to occur.

Biodiversity Unit
Department of the Environment, Sport and Territories, 1995
10. Refugia in Western Australia (continued)
10.31. Reference number WA31
Refuge area: Edel Land, Heirisson Prong and Peron Peninsula
Biogeographic region: Geraldton Sandplains and Carnarvon
Type of refuge: Refuge from exotic animals
Lat./Long. 26°03'S / 113°23'E
Quality of refuge: Extremely significant (7)
Area (km²): <10,000

Refuge for rare and endangered mammals and reptiles.
General description
Long, narrow peninsulas jutting into Shark Bay; joined to the mainland by narrow isthmuses. Largely sand dunes covered with Thryptomene and Melalueca heath and Acacia scrub. Mostly gently undulating red sandplain and low sandhills. Vegetation is close tall shrubland of Acacia ramulosa and patchy thickets of A. ligulata and Lamarchea hakeifolia; some areas of hummock grassland Triodia plurinervata with numerous low shrubs of A. ligulata6.
ANZECC-listed species
Reintroduced populations of two mammals, the burrowing bettong Bettongia lesueur (E) and the Shark Bay mouse Pseudomys fieldi (E) on Heirisson Prong, constituting the only mainland populations of these species. Also probably Dirk Hartog black-and-white fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus leucopterus (V). On Peron Peninsula, thick-billed grasswren Amytornis textilis textilis5.
Regional endemics
The frog Arenophryne rotunda (also on Dirk Hartog Island)3, 4; and the pygopodids Aprasia haroldi, Pletholax gracilis edelensis and skinks Ctenotus youngsoni (also Dirk Hartog Island) and Menetia amaura3.
Relict species
The pale field-rat Rattus tunneyi is present on Heirisson Prong and adjacent Edel Land in areas ungrazed by sheep. Storr and Harold suggest that "the islands, peninsulas and gulfs of the [Shark Bay] area provide a refuge for nine relict or endemic species and subspecies" of reptile3. Four of these occur on Edel Land. Stromatolites in nearby Hamelin Pool7.
Other significant species

The Eucharist is something we as Catholics often take for granted. The Eucharist is something that is difficult to accept. How can ordinary bread and wine really be transformed into the body and blood of a man who lived 2,000 years ago? Why do we do this week after week? What's the point?
The Wedding at Canamay be an unlikely place to begin our meditation on the Eucharist, but the story is important in showing us the nature of Jesus' mission on earth. The story speaks of there being six ceremonial water jugs so that the people could perform their ceremonial washings. In Scripture, the number six is always a number of imperfection, or in this case, being incomplete (7 is the number of perfection, and 6 is short of 7). As a whole, the Gospel writer is saying that the Old Law is incomplete and lacking. Jesus orders the jugs filled and they are miraculously changed into wine. The wine is referring to the abundance of life we have in God. The important thing here is that Jesus is fulfilling the Old Law (filling the ceremonial wash jugs) and is going to give us a New Covenant (represented by the wine), replacing one reality with a greater reality.

Ask the Car Insurance Expert
How soon after my son gets a driver's license do I have to add him to my insurance?
It depends on the insurance company and where you live. Some states let car insurance companies require customers to list teen drivers on their policies when the youngsters get their learner's permits. A learner's permit allows a teen to drive only when supervised by an adult in the car. Most insurance companies don't charge extra for drivers with permits, even when the young drivers are listed on the policy.
[Let Insure.com help you find affordable car insurance now.]
In other states, you generally can wait until teens get their driver's licenses to list them on the policy. Even if you don't have to list a teen on your policy yet, it's a good idea to let your car insurance company or agent know that your teen is working toward getting a driver's license. Your agent can inform you about recommended driver instruction programs and provide materials about learning to drive safely, including sample parent-teen contracts to set ground rules for using the car.
Adding your son to your policy once he has his driver's license will boost your premium, but don't conveniently forget to inform the insurer just to save money. Failing to notify the insurer about a new driver in the household, especially when you renew your policy, could be considered misrepresentation and put coverage in jeopardy if your son is involved in a car accident.
Young drivers are expensive to insure because they are more likely to crash than older drivers. The crash rate per mile driven is four times higher for 16- to 19-year-olds than for older drivers, and the risk is twice as high for 16-year-olds as it is for 18-year-olds and 19-year-olds, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Ask about discounts to save money on car insurance rates. Most companies offer good student discounts for high school and college students who earn at least a B average.

UPDATE: Kiefer Sutherland Charged With Assault in Head-Butting Case
UPDATE: The New York Daily News reports that Kiefer Sutherland will face a third-degree assault charge for allegedly head-butting designer Jack McCollough on Tuesday night. The 24 actor is expected to surrender to prosecutors in coming weeks.
According to a friend of Sutherland's, he's already feeling remorse over the incident.
"Kiefer is sorry it happened," the friend notes. "Absolutely. It's terribly regrettable."
Kiefer Sutherland may be taking his role as Jack Bauer on 24 a little too seriously.
At Monday night's MET Costume Institute Gala after-party, the hard-partying actor headbutted and broke the nose of Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough . All the details are fuzzy, but Kiefer is claiming that he was trying to protect Brooke Shields from Jack.
Brooke was not harmed and is claiming that there was no inappropriate conduct that would warranted the alleged attack. A rep for the actress told TMZ, "Nothing happened to her ... Jack did nothing inappropriate. It's not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did."
While it is not yet known if Brooke was touched in the incident, she will be interviewed by the NYPD today for her side of the story.
Kiefer is currently on probation in Los Angeles for his most recent DUI arrest last year. He was allegedly drunk at the time of the incident.

Powerful Union AFSCME Endorses Leslie Knope for Pawnee City Council
Contact: Tiffany Ricci, 202-429-5047
Thursday, March 8, 2012
Endorsement comes as AFSCME tries to draft Amy Poehler to speak at convention of public sector workers' union
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which represents 250,000 parks and recreation workers nationwide, today endorsed the candidacy of Leslie Knope for city council in Pawnee, Ind., in a blatant attempt to draft Amy Poehler to speak at the public employee union's biennial convention in June. AFSCME Pres. Gerald W. McEntee had this to say about the endorsement:
"We proudly endorse Leslie Knope for Pawnee City Council. Knope's public service and her passion for making our communities safer, healthier and stronger make her the right person for the job."
The AFSCME endorsement is part of a campaign to draft Amy Poehler, the star of Parks and Recreation, to appear at the union's biennial convention this June in Los Angeles. McEntee also had this to say in a blatant attempt to curry favor with Poehler:
"AFSCME members would be thrilled to have Amy Poehler at our convention. We are prepared to Ramp Up our campaign to draft her, and we will even have waffles for her backstage if she accepts."
# # #
AFSCME's 1.6 million members provide the vital services that make America happen. With members in hundreds of different occupations — from nurses to corrections officers, child care providers to sanitation workers — AFSCME advocates for fairness in the workplace, excellence in public services and prosperity and opportunity for all working families. This endorsement is in fact a thinly veiled attempt to get Amy Poehler to speak at our convention.

The Journey Begins2 Reviews
Josie shows the boys what she's got.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Right to business, I see." Josie snapped back. Patrick smiled.
"Sorry… But I suppose that if you want us to help, we should know why you need us."
"My name is Josie. I'm-"
"She's the only half-blood in the universe." A voice chimed in. It was the dark haired boy, Pete, who had attacked her earlier.
"Shut up. That isn't true."
"But it is. Why else would you have every other vampire after you? Your blood makes us stronger. Stronger than regular blood," he sped over and grabbed Josie's shaking arm with incredible pressure, "She has more power then a human. But she needs the power because she's perpetually in danger. She's…" he paused to breathe in, "Delectable."
"Let go. You're hurting me." she began to struggle.
"Pete, knock it off."
"Just wait Patrick. Wait." He snapped angrily at him as he held her. The angrier Josie got, the sharper her movements became. Pete began to have a hard time holding her. Finally she stood and ripped her wrist out of his grip, kicking him backwards with enough force to knock him to the ground. She quickly regained her balance and ran to him, straddling him and laying both wrists to the ground, holding him there before he even had the chance to try to stand up.
"Josie's back…" she muttered incoherently to herself.
"See what I mean?" Pete yelled to Patrick, "She is able to defend herself."
She heard Patrick's footsteps behind her. "I already knew that. She knocked me out as soon as I opened the cell we were holding her in." He chuckled, and Josie got off of Pete. He hopped up.
"I suppose we can get rid of her then." He brushed himself off and began to walk away.
"What the hell are you talking about? Get rid of me! Why would you ever do that? Besides, I thought you said you needed me."
"We do. As bait."
"Way to let her down easy, Pete. Why don't you go take out your pissy attitude on someone else?"
But he wasn't paying attention to Patrick, because as he began to walk away, Josie stopped him, and got in his face.
"If you want me as bait, use me. But I will not be treated like garbage. And I will NOT let you determine when and where I have to go." She sternly told him and walked back over to her chair. That's when Patrick chimed in.
"Okay then… Let's get started! I just have to go over some logistics… we'll be taking you on your first hunt tonight."
A/N: Look out for the next chapter. Some crazy shit is about to go down!

Ask me anything... within reason
Two years after the April 20, 2010 BP oil spill, the Gulf is filled with deformed fish that the state of Louisiana says are perfectly safe to eat. Al Jazeera reports:
"At the height of the last white shrimp season, in September, one of our friends caught 400 pounds of these," Kuhns told Al Jazeera while showing a sample of the eyeless shrimp.
According to Kuhns, at least 50 per cent of the shrimp caught in that period in Barataria Bay, a popular shrimping area that was heavily impacted by BP's oil and dispersants, were eyeless. Kuhns added: "Disturbingly, not only do the shrimp lack eyes, they even lack eye sockets."
"Some shrimpers are catching these out in the open Gulf [of Mexico]," she added, "They are also catching them in Alabama and Mississippi. We are also finding eyeless crabs, crabs with their shells soft instead of hard, full grown crabs that are one-fifth their normal size, clawless crabs, and crabs with shells that don't have their usual spikes … they look like they've been burned off by chemicals."
Ugh this is so bad!!!! Open your eyes people! Jesus. When are people going to realize this earth is the ONLY resource we...
still boycottin BP after 2 years.
This is only one example of the damage we are allowing to be done to our home. I know you feel the damage on the earth,...
The fortunate thing is that they probably are still perfectly safe to eat. But good lord, does it hurt me to see these...

I think it's great that you are trying to give you and your dd a good life and you left an unhappy marriage. I thinks some better planning should have been involved before you actually left with nothing.

In an attempt at some Political Blog housekeeping, here are a few Paul updates from the last week, (I updated Jack Conway's campaign in a separate post). Paul has a series of events in Southeastern Kentucky on Wednesday.
Paul is conducting an online "MoneyBomb telethon on Wednesday and Thursday.
Both Tea Party and establishment national Republicans are campaigning for Paul in Kentucky, including several whose name are mentioned as potential presidential hopefuls, former Arkansas Governor and candidate Mike Huckabee, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour and former Vice-Presidential candidate Haley Barbour. Guided by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Paul also received more fundraising support from incumbent GOP senators, including some who voted for bailouts.
On Saturday, Paul will be joined in Northern Kentucky (Cincinnati media market) by his father, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), the libertarian icon, and the emerging conservative kingmaker, U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC). Attention Northern Kentucky reporters: need to ask DeMint whether he would accept the mantle of Republican Leader of the Senate.
Paul attended a "meet and greet" appearance sat the the Southwest Government Center in Louisville on Friday. Councilmember Doug Hawkins said he reserved the government building as a private citizen so the use of a Metro facility does as arranged by a sitting Metro Council Member does not violate the city's ethics code. Hawkins says the building is used for a variety of community groups, such as neighborhood associations.
The AFL-CIO had a strong presence at the event, from which Paul made a hasty exit after delivering about a 15 minute speech.
The labor organization quoted a member and a local minister who attended Paul's speech:
"I've already lost two jobs because of NAFTA and I wanted to ask Rand Paul if he supports free trade and trade deals that are destroying the middle class right here in Kentucky." Gayle, clearly disappointed that Paul had left so quickly went on to say, "it's not right that rich corporations can take jobs overseas and not reinvest in America – it's a shame [Paul] ran away before we even got the chance to ask him a single question."
"I came out here to address Paul's belief that private businesses should have the right to deny service to individuals solely based on the color of their skin," said Pastor Keith Bush of First Gethsemane Church. "I have four grandchildren. What would I say to my grandchildren when they share with me that they were denied the right to eat at a restaurant with friends solely because of the color of their skin? Paul didn't afford us with the opportunity to defend his stance on that issue."
The Paul campaign also disclosed two private events he attended in Louisville:
Dr. Paul attended a private meeting with a group of pastors led by local school choice advocate Pastor Jerry Stevenson, and concerned parents and grandparents in Louisville's west end. The group discussed concerns about the education system and ways to find solutions to the problems faced in their area, which like many disadvantaged areas has continued to struggle under current education policies.
Later, Dr. Paul took a tour of the Neighborhood House in the Portland section of Louisville. The Neighborhood House is a community-based organization located in one of Louisville's most economically disadvantaged communities. It provides programs and services for community members ranging from newborns to seniors, focusing on educational enhancement, civic responsibilities, cultural enrichment, health promotions, social skills development, employment opportunity and training. One of its main purposes is providing local children with a safe environment during after-school hours to study and participate in positive activities.
The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Political Action Committee (CCAGW PAC) announced its endorsement of Paul:
"In this time of massive new government spending and bailouts, huge budget deficits, public debt, and inefficient bureaucracies, taxpayers need friends in Washington who will defend their interests, not the special interests," said Thomas Schatz, Chairman of CCAGW PAC. "That is why CCAGW PAC supports Rand Paul, who is a bona fide fiscal conservative committed to reducing the size of government by working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse."
The National Federation of Independent Business announced its endorsement of Paul:
"As a doctor and small business owner, Rand Paul has a unique understanding of one of small business' most important issues - healthcare," said Lisa Goeas, NFIB's vice president for political operations. "Our small business membership knows that Rand Paul is one of their own, that he understands their perspective on healthcare and on the overall challenges of running a business. This means they are even more likely to actively support his candidacy by encouraging their employees, friends and family members to turn out and vote for him on Election Day," Goeas said. "We believe that Rand Paul will help the Senate develop policies that let small business do what it does best, which is create jobs and grow the economy."
Jason "Aqua Buddha" Zengerle published his Paul piece in GQ.
This debate is at its most intense inside the head of Mitch McConnell. During the primary, McConnell's only meeting with Paul took place in a hangar at the Louisville airport. According to a person familiar with the conversation, McConnell pressed Paul to pledge to vote for him for Republican leader—something Paul refused to do. (Billy Piper, McConnell's chief of staff, denies that his boss sought Paul's commitment.) All these months later, Paul still won't make a firm pledge. "The whole question of 'Will Rand vote for McConnell for leader?' is a power play," explains one Paul ally. "If Mitch is a little bit on edge, so much the better. He should be."
The more (Tea Party candidates) become an electoral force, the more the Republican establishment has to cater to them, and the more vocal and disruptive to the party's actual agenda they'll potentially become. It's one thing to oppose Obama; it's another to oppose legislation and threaten relationships that have been central to how the GOP does business. Paul doesn't support the military spending most of his fellow Republicans slobber over. He doesn't support handing out big fat prescription-drug benefits to private insurance companies. He doesn't support the earmarks that Republican senators, especially McConnell, use to curry favor with voters back home. And in a chamber where arcane procedural rules make it possible for a single member to gum up the legislative works, the presence of just one rogue Republican—much less a whole Tea Party caucus of them—could be enough to make the Senate Republicans finally seem as undisciplined and dysfunctional as the Democrats.

Holidays got you stressed? Bury your inner Scrooge with these delightful to-dos of fun, food, friendship, and more. Trying even a few of them throughout the holiday season will ensure your December is filled with happiness, health, joy, and inspiration. Consider them a gift from us to you.
December 1: Seek icy thrills
Winter activities such as skiing, ice-skating, sledding, and tubing aren't just great calorie burners, they're exhilarating. "The speed and fresh air give you a sense of elation that you just don't get with many other workouts," says Robyn McKay, PhD, a positive psychology researcher at Arizona State University.
December 2:
Belt out "Santa Baby" Singing is linked to stress reduction. Even better, join a choir. One study revealed that on average, choral singers rate their satisfaction with life higher than the general public does--even when the actual problems the singers face are more substantial than those of the rest of us.
December 3:
Enjoy a candy cane Studies show that just the menthol smell alone will pep you up to enjoy the holiday festivities. It's also yummy for your tummy, helping to calm an upset stomach.
December 4:

December 5: Add 27 Dresses to your Netflix queue
Even the expectation of watching a favorite comedy ups mood-boosting endorphins by 27%, shows new research.

December 7: Tap into the power of flowers
People feel better and perkier when they see a bouquet first thing in the morning, and the energy boost lasts throughout the day, reports Harvard researcher Nancy Etcoff, PhD.
December 8: Get a helper's high
A recent study shows that people who were asked to perform a different kind act every day--small courtesies such as helping a neighbor shovel her walk--reported a marked increase in happiness after 10 days. Whether you do it with money or time, giving is good for you. "Helping others increases your own level of gratefulness and positive emotions," says Sheela Raja, PhD, a psychologist and stress researcher at the University of Illinois.
Volunteering That Matches Your Personality

December 10: Hold hands with your sweetie
When couples were more affectionate for a month, researchers saw a dip in their stress hormones and blood pressure and an increase in a hormone thought to calm and counter stress.
December 11: Cut down your own tree
Being in the great outdoors reduces stress, improves mood, and boosts happiness, reports Eeva Karjalainen, PhD, of the Finnish Forest Research Institute. It may also strengthen your immune system by increasing the number and activity of cancer-destroying cells. For a feel-good feeling to the season, be sure to "treecycle."
December 12: Stargaze
"Concentrating is very meditative," says Boston-based psychologist Alice Domar, PhD. "And you really have to focus to see things in the sky--the Milky Way doesn't have a sign on it!"
December 13: Become a softie
Dry, flaky skin is a downer. Keep your skin baby soft by switching to a superhydrating body cleanser. Two that leave you silky smooth: Dove Winter Care Beauty Bar ($7 for six bars; drugstores) and Melvita Extra-Rich Shower Cream ($17; melvita.com). (Protect your skin with our ultimate cold weather skin guide.)
December 14: Window-shop
The same brain chemicals that make sex so pleasurable rise sharply when you're window-shopping. To avoid overspending, peek through the glass when stores are closed or you've left your wallet at home.
December 15: Bask in a Nutcracker ballet performance
Haven't seen Clara and the Sugar Plum Fairy twirl and leap since you were a little girl yourself? Get tickets to a local community performance. New research shows that people who regularly attend cultural events feel healthier and more vital than those who don't participate.

Who pays for lower debit card fees?
The Durbin rule -- which lowered debit card fees for retailers -- is costing banks billions of dollars. Who'll pay?
This post comes from Brian O'Connell at partner siteTheStreet.
To paraphrase Dr. Seuss, big banks don't like the Durbin Amendment. Not a little bit.
They don't like it here or there and they don't like it anywhere -- but they especially don't like it where the fee-draining amendment hits banks hardest: the pocketbook.
The Durbin rule, green-lit by Congress as part of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act of 2010, and taking effect last October, took aim at interchange fees for debit card transactions. That's the fee retailers and other service providers pay a bank any time a consumer uses a debit card to make a purchase.
The amendment lowered the fees paid to banks with more than $10 billion in assets, thus targeting big financial institutions in making sure interchange fees were "reasonable and proportional." (Post continues below video.)
So how did that all work out for banks? According to a new report out this week from Card Hub, the answer is "not so good" for large banks -- and small ones.
In fact, the rule may not have worked out so well for consumers, either.
According to Card Hub, the Durbin amendment costs big banks $8.06 billion and smaller banks $329.4 million on an annual basis.
Furthermore, interchange fees have fallen by 59.3% for "signature" transactions and 32.4% for PIN transactions, the study reports. On the surface, that sounds like a good deal for consumers. But the fallout from Durbin may hurt consumers as much as help them.
"The effect of the Federal Reserve's interchange fee cap on large banks is really no surprise," says Card Hub CEO Odysseas Papadimitriou, a former Capital One senior director. "From the moment the rule was finalized, it was plainly obvious that large banks were going to take a big hit. The only real questions were exactly how big and how they would recoup their losses. Now we know that it costs them over $8 billion and led them to abolish debit card rewards while increasing checking account fees -- changes that we should expect to be permanent."

Two New Zealand high school students have been sentenced to four months' juvenile detention after breaking a girl's neck during a brutal attack.
The attack on the 14-year-old victim in November at Flaxmere College in Hastings was filmed on a cellphone.
Three girls were expelled from the school following the attack.
Two teenage students were this week sentenced to four months' juvenile detention and a year's supervision, TVNZ reported on Saturday.
The victim was left with serious spinal injuries and has become a recluse, unable to attend college or play sport, the broadcaster said.
Her mother, Moana Hawkins, said her daughter had been let down by the school.
"You don't expect to send your child to school in the morning and then two hours later you're rushing down there because your child's been bashed."

Everyone needs to read this, this is an awesomely accurate and adorable dog body language chart. A lot of people don't recognize a lot of these cues (the stress signals come immediately to mind).
Woah, I'm pretty empathic but I didn't realize the "NEED SPACE" whale eyes one. I thought it was more of a nervous/leery but tired emotion, which I guess is similar. Now that I think about it, the few times when I've been surprised at a dog's behavior is when they exhibit that emotion, so right on! People really do tend to push the "stressed" buttons fairly often, and then get upset when the dogs don't react the way they think they should react -.-

The Impact of Civil Unions on Hawai`i's Economy and Government
AbstractOn 29 April 2010, the Hawai`i State Legislature passed HB 444, a measure that allows same-sex and opposite-sex couples to enter into civil unions. This report provides quantitative and qualitative measures of the impact of civil unions on the Hawai`i economy, Hawai`i businesses, and the State of Hawai`i's budget. More specifically, we examine the effect of civil unions on tourism arrivals to Hawai`i; state government revenues and expenditures; employer provision of health insurance to civil union partners and their dependents; and the family with civil union partners. We conclude that the Legalization of civil unions in Hawai`i will have only a very minimal impact on any aspect of Hawai`i's economy and state government operations.
