One of the worst experiences we've had!
After a long day on the road my family and I were looking forward to a restful night at our accommodation. Little did we know that not only was there no staff there, lights were off, doors were locked and there was no way to access our room? There
was a note waiting for us providing us with numbers to call but the phone at the location only accepted a special card which we did not have. We had to drive miles to finally get to another hotel where we were able to use their phone. Unfortunately none of the numbers worked! To make a long story short, we waited for hours and finally were able to access our room at practically the crack of dawn. This is not ideal for a couple traveling with young children. Nowhere on the website does it mention that you need to arrive before a certain time. This was a horrible experience - almost like a nightmare. The saving grace was that the room itself was pretty as was the view and the buildings.

DENVER -- Jair Jurrjens missed a step in the dugout in Chicago last week, rolling an ankle and forcing him to skip a start.
The Atlanta rookie didn't miss a step in his return Monday night, pitching into the eighth without allowing a run as the Braves beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 in a makeup game from a snowout in April.
"He was phenomenal tonight," catcher Brian McCann said. "He made his pitches when he had to."
The layoff was good for Jurrjens, giving a bothersome blister on his thumb more time to heal.
"I feel like I got my changeup back today," he said. "Maybe it was the altitude, the air? I had a really good feeling today."
Jurrjens (7-3) won for the seventh time this season, tops among rookies in the major leagues. He struck out seven and allowed eight hits in a career-high 7 2/3 innings.
Neither the blister nor the ankle gave him any trouble.
"Everything's fine," Jurrjens said. "I tried to have fun again."
Chipper Jones rediscovered his smooth swing Monday, going 2-for-4, including a two-run single in the fifth to break open a scoreless game. Jones, mired in a 2-for-15 slump entering the game, raised his average one point to .403.
After a strikeout in the third, his average stood right at .400. Not that he was concerned.
"I didn't think about it one time," Jones said. "Once you are immersed in the game, the at-bat at the time is the most important moment of the game."
Jeff Francoeur had two hits, including a two-run double in the seventh, and Brandon Jones added a two-out, two-run single in the ninth for Atlanta.
"We didn't exactly drive it everywhere tonight, nor did they," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "This ballpark plays different than it used to."
Jurrjens pitched out of jams all night, including the seventh when he gave up a triple to Brad Hawpe to open the inning.
However, after walking Chris Iannetta, Jurrjens struck out Omar Quintanilla on his best changeup of the night, got a nifty over-the-shoulder catch by Jones on Scott Podsednik's blooper to short left and then enticed Willy Taveras to ground out to end the threat.
In McCann's opinion, Jurrjens was like the pitcher before the blister problem.
"He's not going to make excuses, so I'll make them for him," McCann said. "I could definitely tell things weren't right (because of the blister). But he didn't want to miss a start. He battled every time out there when he had that. I think that ankle injury was probably the best thing to happen to him."
Jurrjens laughed at the assertion.
"I'm happy to be out there again," he said.
Ubaldo Jimenez struggled with his command all game, tying a career-high with five walks over five innings. He allowed three runs -- two earned -- and struck out seven.
Jimenez (1-7) hasn't won since April 8 against Atlanta, a span of 13 starts.
"He definitely wasn't sharp," Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said. "He's so close in so many ways, but there's still that glitch (the wildness). It's cost him some wins."
Jimenez pitched brilliantly in his previous start, not allowing a run over seven innings against San Francisco on June 11.
But his erratic control led to his undoing Monday. His command has been a concern most of the season, not that Jimenez is dwelling on it.
"I try not to think that way," Jimenez said. "I try to put my last start behind me."
Matt Holliday and Garrett Atkins both had two hits while Aaron Cook collected his first pinch-hit single when he batted for Jimenez in the fifth.
The Rockies averted the shutout in the ninth when Podsednik dumped a single to left to score Iannetta. Colorado hasn't been shut out at Coors Field since a 3-0 loss to Arizona on May 15, 2007.
- Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki (torn left quad) and INF Clint Barmes (sprained right knee) will head to Triple-A Colorado Springs on a rehab assignment beginning Tuesday.
- Rockies C Yorvit Torrealba sat out the second and final day of his suspension for his role in a fight with Los Angeles Dodgers OF Matt Kemp on June 3.
- The Rockies announced Jorge De La Rosa as the starter Thursday against Cleveland.
- Braves 2B Kelly Johnson drew three walks and scored twice.

It kind of does. I don't recommend starting with Voyager.
I have introduced multiple people to Star Trek via Voyager who have gone on to watch the other series. I know someone right now who is on season 4 of VOY as their first Star Trek and they love it. I think it's more accessible than DS9 if you don't have a sci fi background.. obviously if your steeped in sci fi DS9 is a good place to start but if most of your tv viewing consists of british comedies and you've never watched sci fi VOY's characters and humor work very well.

Jerusalem, May 22, 2012 Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have achieved, for the first time, the generation of neuronal cells from stem cells of Fragile X patients. The discovery paves the way for research that will examine restoration of normal gene expression in Fragile X patients.
Fragile X syndrome is the most common cause of inherited mental retardation, affecting hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. The syndrome is caused by lack of normal expression (functioning) of the FMR1 gene that is critical for normal cognitive function in brain neuronal cells.
Absence of expression of the FMR1 gene is caused by a mutation in the regulatory elements that govern its expression. The abnormal addition of chemical methyl groups to the regulatory elements causes gene silencing in patients, culminating in severe mental retardation.
A potential way to help patients is to find compounds that will clear the abnormal methyl groups from the regulatory elements and reactivate normal gene expression. In their work, the Hebrew University researchers have identified a chemical compound that restored normal gene expression specifically in neuronal cells, the cell type most affected in patients.
The research was conducted in the laboratory of Nissim Benvenisty, the Herbert Cohn Professor of Cancer Research at the Hebrew University, by PhD student Ori Bar-Nur and undergraduate student Inbal Caspi. They demonstrated, for the first time, the generation of brain neuronal cells from patients of Fragile X syndrome in a dish culture. In doing so, they were able to find a substance that restored normal gene expression in patients' cells.
In a previous study conducted in the Benvenisty laboratory, a novel technology was used to induce pluripotent stem cells from skin cells of Fragile X patients. Pluripotent stem cells have the amazing ability to differentiate into any human cell type in a dish culture.

|Further details indoors
The open plan living area means you can cook and enjoy the the atmosphere with space to be creative in the kitchen then eat at the Art Deco table or al fresco. The kitchen is well equipped and now includes a toaster for those of you who prefer toast for breakfast. Although all the equipment is present to cook any meal, anything extra you might require, baking tins, cookie cutters and hand mixer for example, can be borrowed from the owners.
There is a stunning vintage Belgian woodburner surrounded by an enormous granite fireplace with historic motifs carved into the stone.
Massive original timbers support the ceiling with traditionally preserved artifacts.
The large bedroom is furnished with good antique furniture and beautiful old rugs underfoot leads to the well appointed bathroom with its antique, rare model double ended roll top bath and modern shower cubicle.
|Further details outdoors
Easy parking is available directly at the bottom of the steps leading up to the massive old door to the gite. The steps are not steep and there is a sturdy rope on the wall for aid. A short path from the steps leads to the private garden behind the gite.
Of modest proportion, the pond is available for fishing. The pond is a miniature wild life reserve, providing habitat and breeding grounds for frogs, newts, dragonflies, damselflies, moorhens and muskrats. At the end of the pond, there is a small copse where long eared owls, tree creepers, goldfinches and many other bird species have been seen. At dusk, bats swoop over the pond and garden hunting for insects and return to their roosts under the barn roof.
A large private garden behind the building is available for your exclusive use with a barbecue and stunning granite garden furniture. The barn owls which live in the roof can be seen swooping across the garden and kestrels make a nest every year in the roof space of the barn, as do the barn owls. Kestrels are regularly seen entering the barn with food in the beak for the young. On a hot day, lizards can be seen scaling the walls of the barn and fire salamanders are regularly spotted in the garden.
The garden is being developed to attract and provide a habitat for insects-swallowtail butterflies lay their eggs on the abundance of bronze fennel throughout the garden and the lavender and buddleia positively buzz when in flower with many species of bee, humming bird hawk moths and butterfies.
The garden is secluded, private and is not overlooked.
|Further details
There is a comprehensive welcome pack for your arrival which includes a light supper. The first 3 baskets of wood for the woodburner are included in the price from 1st October.
The price is inclusive of electricity and central heating costs.
The owners live nearby and are available for advice and assistance if needed.
The Basse-Normandie region
Normandy is a beautiful area of France with a comfortable temperate climate. Steeped in history from the arrival of the Vikings through the medieval times, the Second World War to the present, there is something to interest everybody. The Normandy landing beaches are within easy reach as is Mont St Michel and the castles of William the Conqueror. Bayeux, with its tapestry and beautiful architecture makes an interesting day out.
if you are need of something less war-like to enjoy, the Musée de Christian Dior at Granville or the Souterroscope at Caumont L'Evente are a must. Villedieu les Pôeles, 20 minutes away, is a centre of copper making and the Fonderie des Cloches (bell foundry) gives tours illustrating bell making.
For lovers of the outdoors, the Foret Dominiale at St Sever Calvados or our local wood on the hill provide wonderful areas for walking and enjoying nature. The Gorges de La Vire are nearby and canoeing is available at Pont Farcy. There are many beautiful quiet beaches within easy reach where it is possible to find lovely seafood restaurants.
Trotting races are held at the hippodromes near Vire and Villedieu les Pôeles and if you fancy a ride yourself, there are stables at different localities such the bay of Mont St Michel and in the countryside.
St Vigor Des Monts
Liberated by the allies at the beginning of August 1944, St Vigor des Monts is a sleepy village which wakes up a couple of times a year for its Fêtes; the Fete du Pain held in May celebrates bread and an artisan boulanger bakes in the restored village bread house. The Fete patronale is held in August and the whole village gathers and makes merry.
There are plenty of markets within easy reach of Le Calipel, the Tuesday market at Villedieu les Poeles is a lovely market with plenty of choice and variety. Granville, on the coast , has a fabulous market on Saturday morning which is a must for seafood lovers-the choice of mussels means you need to choose which bay and area you want them from.
The hilltop is covered with natural woodland where war time shell holes are still evident and it provides a lovely place to walk and enjoy the nature and peace of Normandy and enjoy the view across the Vire valley from the table d'orientation.
The nearest bars are in Montbray (4km) and Pont Farcy (4km) as are boulangeries. Tessy Sur Vire, 10km away offers a variety of shops including a small supermarket, boulangeries, boucheries and a newsagents. There are also a number of bars.
Not far, is the Chapeau Rouge, a lovely traditional restaurant hosted by Madame who provides service in only the way the French can - graciously and with style.

"Le Calipel was an absolutely perfect holiday home in all respects"
My husband and I have recently returned from a week's stay at Le Calipel. This sensitively converted and stylish furnished barn was ideally placed for all our planned visits. The accommodation was wonderfully comfortable (including the bed), the kitchen area well equipped and beautifully designed to compliment the rustic feel of the building, the bathroom was a treat to behold and the woodburning stove in the huge stone fireplace was stunning and incredibly practical. Lovely Donna and Ed provided an exceptional welcome pack with bread, milk, butter, cheese, wine, home made preserves. They were also both helpful and charming. Suffice to say we loved all of it.
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Le Calipel. We do every thing we can to make your holiday a happy, comfortable and memorable time and strive to maintain our high standard. Thank you for your kind words.

We had a fabulous week at Le Calipel. Donna was very welcoming and it was a delight to find all the extras she had left; the fresh croissants and baguette, homemade chutney, jam and honey, wine, cheese, eggs -the list goes on! The gite is large but cosy, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom luxurious. The kitchen is well equipped and the private garden a bonus. Lovely secluded location with a laid back atmosphere - thank you Donna for your advice on places to visit - although we slept in so late most mornings we only visited half the places we planned - oh well - just means we will have to return! If you need to re-charge your batteries, love the countryside and animals, then this is the place for you.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at Le Calipel-we do everything we can to make our guests feel welcome & happy. If you want a natter, I'm here but if you want to be left alone, I can do that too!

"Close enough to a motorway to get places but quiet enough to hear the bird song in the morning"
It was a great location: in the middle of the countryside, down a no through road, but only 10 mins away from the motorway, so great if you need to get to Mt St Michel / Bayeaux / Caen etc. The nearest village is a 5 mins drive and has a bakery so croissants and baguette were fresh daily, but the supermarket was slightly further away and also had a petrol station. We had a very cheery welcome from Donna and the "welcome pack" of baguette, milk, eggs, croissants etc to get us past the first morning was incredibly thoughtful. Being English I normally have a slice of toast in the morning. However there's no toaster so I had to make do with a warm croissant every morning - it was a tough week. ;-) There are a number of steps to the front door so anyone who has trouble walking might find it difficult. And the bath - wow! - it was massive - definitely a 2 person bath!!
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at Le Calipel and thank you for your review. French bread, lovely though it is, doesn't toast very well so I decided to force you to have croissants!! Look forward to seeing you again!

"Superb, Superb, Superb, Superb"
This was our second trip to Le Calipel, after our first visit went pear shaped after our vehicle broke down and had to spend the week in a French garage being fixed, but we couldn't resist the allure of both the property, but especially mine hosts Donna and Ed - they are true, genuine people who made both our visits a truly exceptional time and nothing was to much trouble for them and I feel they are new friends and have kept in touch since (they make you feel like that). The property itself is truly amazing and is wonderfuly equipped for 2/3 people and is set in the most peaceful surrounds - somewhere to lose yourself for as long as you want - being an animal lover would be advantageous, as you have the choice of dogs, chickens, geese and bees, all of which Donna or Ed will be more than happy to show off if asked - it's the little welcoming touches that are wonderful as well and were greatly appreciated - I recommend at least a weeks stay and have no hesitation in saying that you will have a truly relaxing and wonderful time, truly wonderful. Thank you Donna and Ed, very much, what marvellous memories we have.
Thank you for your kind words-we strive to be helpful! Look forward to seeing you again soon!

Ordered the twin as a Final Clearance item based on the many good reviews, and the duvet is a fairly nice quality (although like another reviewer mentioned, when you hold the down up to the light you can see that the feathers are not evenly distributed in the pockets), but it arrived tied up in a plastic bag. When we took it out of the bag, the scent was very strong. Can't pinpoint what it is, sort of an animal-earthy scent. I did some research on the internet and found that down comforters should not be put into plastic bags, but I suppose that's the only practical way TSC can ship them. Would have returned this item if we could, but since it's a Final Clearance, we can't. Most people would say just air it out, but we've done that, outside in the breeze, and the scent is still there. Don't know if it made any difference. Will take it to the cleaners or perhaps put it in a large front-loading washing machine at the laundromat with some lightly scented laundry detergent, then dry it until it's dry, which might take a few hours, as another must-do with down duvets is you must COMPLETELY dry them or the feathers might get musty/moldy. If the smell is still there after cleaning this duvet, we will have to throw it out. Lesson learned!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bought this duvet for my boyfriends cold farmhouse in the winter in the queen size. This duvet did a great job and I also made a duvet cover for it out of two flat sheets. Couldn't be happier!

Very disappointed
By Golden lover
from Hamilton
I purchased this in May on sale and seeing it being offered again today, decided it was time to put it on my bed. I had taken it out of the packaging when it arrived and was delighted with the APPARENT lofty fill and light weight of it.However as I shook it out today the light from the window went through it and much to my chagrin, I noticed VERY UNEQUAL filling of each square. Some of the squares appeared to have next to no down and feathers and some were very full. This can't help but contribute to cold spots in the duvet. Very disappointing. This won't be posted to influence anyone today contemplating purchasing it but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Absolutely lovely feather duvet, warm & you don't feel any feathers....I bought 3 duvets so we've been cozy this winter...highly recommend. I washed and dried them though before using. Had to resize because the bedding I had was smaller, but I sew quite a bit so that really easy to do.

Good Quality
By nancyd

I needed a new duvet and saw this one on the shopping channel. When I got it and put it on my bed I couldn't believe the quality of it. It is the most comfortable duvet I have ever owned. Will definitely purchase another when the time comes. LOVE IT!!

Good quality as promised!
By 7artsy
from Toronto
TSC made a believer out of me. I was sceptical of the quality but decided to take a chance. Love the King duvet. It is large enough to fit perfectly into my designer cover and looks great on!
Good purchase.
By Paula K
from Aurora, Ontario
I was happy with the new duvet. Some king size duvets don't have a long enough drop to cover the sides of a pillow top mattress, but this one is okay (it could be been a bit wider!!!!) Good value for the price.This is my second THSC purchase. I hope I get to review my third purchase (Tiffany style lamp) as I will be writing a rave review. It is absolutely gorgeous and I love walking into my room when it is on.

Thanks for your kind explanation.
Dear Mr o'Higgins, I really admire your playing you are a great musician! Can I just ask: when you say you found the 8's too big, what would that be based on? Did you find them too resistant, or...
They seem sold out everywhere. I contacted Mr. Navarro on the same e-mail address as when I ordered my Bebop Special, but there's no reply. I wonder if he is still making them....? Anyone know?
Sorry no, I have the Hard rubber BBS. There's some clips on Youtube (Anibal Rochas).
Thanks. Really curious now. Have the Bebop Special and am curious about the Bop Boy. I think it might be better suited for me. (although the BB Special is a fantastic piece!).
Strange: acc to Saxbrain Bob Boy is darker then FG IV which is comparable to Bahia. So that means that Bob Boy feels darker then Bahia.
Will216 however feels Bob Boy to be way brighter than Bahia....
I was looking around for a new mouthpiece and over the last few months have purchased a Tribute 7, Navarro Bebob Special 8* (HR) and 10mFan Robusto 9 (HR). While each of these are fantastic pieces...
So I received my double ring 8 a few days ago. I am really blown away (no pun inteded) by this piece. I have played a few brands in the past (Warburton La, Vandoren T8)but was not satisfied and...
That would be F# you are playing , not G
Today my Tribute arrived and I couldn't stop playing it. It is soooo nice :-). It put a smile on my face instantly. This is really something special!
My 10mfan Robusto 9. Awsome.
Okay I received my Robusto 9 a week ago or so. Each day I play it it puts a smile on my face and it gets better and better. I use a Rigotti 3 with Ishimori Woodstone ligature. I totally love this...
I purchased a grained 105/2 for alto some time ago. I was a real lemon. Wouldn't play at all.
My Robusto 9 is on its way ! Cannot wait :bounce:
I have the brass with gold
Maybe you could send Mr. Navarro a mail ?
I have the regular laquered one
Go for the Ishimori Woodstone !! It is expensive but I switched to it coming from the Marc Jean an I couldn't believe the improvement in sound and feel .
Tenor: Trevor James Custom Signature...
I own a Navarro Bebop Special. At first I used a Marc Jean ligature on it and was allways struggling with the position of the ligature and the reed and didn't like the sound, sort of bright and...

INDIANAPOLIS The results of a new study of the pen and paper workarounds employed by healthcare providers who use an electronic medical record system may help make electronic medical records even more useful to health-care providers and the patients they serve.
"Exploring the Persistence of Paper with the Electronic Health Record" appears in the September 2009 issue of the International Journal of Medical Informatics.
Observing that doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists and others who use electronic health records have not totally abandoned paper, including notes stuck or taped to a computer monitor, index cards, and even notebooks, the researchers, led by Jason Saleem, Ph.D., a Regenstrief Institute investigator and assistant research professor in the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, documented how and why they were using paper.
"Electronic medical records are instantly accessible to the healthcare team. But so much information is included in an electronic medical record, how does the individual health-care provider pick out what is important at a specific time? Not all uses of paper are bad and some may give us ideas on how to improve the interface between the health-care provider and the electronic record," said Dr. Saleem, who is also a research scientist at the Health Services Research and Development Center of Excellence on Implementing Evidence-Based Practice at the Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Indianapolis.
In the study of 20 health-care workers at the Roudebush VA Medical Center, the researchers found 125 instances of paper use which fell into 11 categories. The most frequently cited reasons for using paper workarounds were efficiency and ease of use. Second most frequently was as a memory aid. The third most frequent reason was to recognize or alert others to new or important information.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Flyers will be without All-Star defenseman Chris Pronger for a second straight game on Saturday against the Atlanta Thrashers due to an upper-body injury.
Multiple media outlets are reporting the injury is to Pronger's right wrist, an injury that goes back to Feb. 24 against the New York Islanders, when Pronger was hit in the hand by a puck. He missed the next game and then played four straight, but the injury flared up again Tuesday against Edmonton, and he sat out Thursday's game in Toronto.
The 36-year-old defender has 25 points in 50 games and leads the Flyers with an average of 22:29 of ice time per game, but Saturday's game will be the 18th he's missed due to injury. The club lists him as day to day.
"We miss him in the lineup," said Flyers coach Peter Laviolette. "The fact that he's not in there, everybody gets concerned about that. He plays 25 minutes, 22 minutes because we're not pressing him that much. He's a guy that does a lot of things for us and plays in a lot of situations. Certainly you'd like to have him in the lineup, but he's not available tonight."
Nick Boynton will take Pronger's place for the second straight game. Against the Maple Leafs on Thursday -- his first game since Feb. 7 -- he had one hit and two penalty minutes in 11:24 of ice time, all at even strength, and all paired with Matt Carle, Pronger's usual partner.
"I thought he did a good job," Laviolette said of Boynton. "Toronto is a young, hungry, fast team. He came in and after not playing for a while that's difficult. … I thought Nick looked good out there. He's a veteran players, brings some experience."
"I thought Boynton came in last game and played really well," added Carle. "He's a veteran guy in this League. It was nothing new for him … he played really well filling those shoes."

Microsoft CEO tries to sell analysts on Yahoo deal
Microsoft CEO tries to sell analysts on Yahoo deal
REDMOND — Microsoft Corp. CEO Steve Ballmer is trying to improve the bad feeling Yahoo Inc. investors have about the companies' search-advertising partnership.
Yahoo's shares plummeted 12 percent Wednesday after the deal was announced, and they continued dropping Thursday, ending 4 percent lower at $14.60.
Ballmer said he doesn't understand why.
"Nobody gets it," he said at a meeting of financial analysts at Microsoft headquarters.
Yahoo shareholders likely were hoping for a cash payment from Microsoft, which didn't end up happening. But the CEO said Yahoo investors should be pleased that the deal erases Yahoo's search costs and lets it keep 88 percent of the revenue from advertising sold alongside search results on its Web site.
Combining the two companies' search traffic will draw more advertisers, Ballmer argued. In turn, that should increase ad revenue for Microsoft and Yahoo, he said, because search ads are sold in an auction-style system in which marketers bid for the right to have their ad shown when a user enters certain search terms. As more advertisers make bids, the prices they pay figures to go up, Ballmer said.
Darren Chervitz, co-portfolio manager for the Jacob Internet Fund, which owns about 100,000 Yahoo shares, said Yahoo didn't get as much as it should have in the deal, considering that it has the Internet's second-most widely used search engine.

What does 'nu' mean?

Re: What does 'nu' mean?
Tosk wrote:
I'm betting it will stick. It'd be difficult to beat the ease of adding only two letters, and it's already in use. Any new name would have to be pretty damn catchy to take over now.
Well, first off, it's far from universally used now. Some people use "nuTrek" while others use "Abramsverse" while still others use "JJ Trek" or other labels. You're speaking as if a clear consensus had already emerged for the former, but that doesn't fit with my experience.
And secondly, I agree completely with this:
Mr. Adventure wrote:
I think there's a slightly disparaging quality to it. The way I see nu- is to read it as "this is what the kids call ... now". So nu-metal, this is what the kids call metal now; nu-Trek is what the kids call Trek now. Basically when something has been regurgitated in a way to appeal to "today's audiences" but might leave a bad taste in some of the old guard.
I've always had the impression that it was the label favored by people who wanted to dismiss the Abrams continuity or make it sound ridiculous.
And what I'm looking for is not some vernacular for fandom to use. I'm thinking more in terms of a formal designator that can be used in the long term as a permanent descriptor by reference texts, critics, the studio itself, etc. Although such things can take a long time to emerge. Once TNG came along, people started referring to the original series as "
Star Trek
Classic" or "Classic Trek," by analogy with Classic Coke vs. New Coke from the '80s. It wasn't until years later that the subtitle
The Original Series
came into common or formal usage. And it wasn't until the '90s that the '73 series began to be referred to as
Star Trek: The Animated Series
. Before then I'd always just called it "the animated
Star Trek
," or when I was younger, "the cartoon
Star Trek
So our current labels like "Abramsverse" and "nuTrek" are the equivalent of the "classic Trek" nickname we used to use for the original show. What I'd like to see is the emergence of something more like the TOS and TAS designators, a more official and formal category label for ease of reference. Something timeless that can still be used 20 or 30 years from now, after the novelty has worn off.

- Misunderstanding the process as being too difficult. While the application is quite robust, on average, it takes applicants just 23 minutes to complete. The modern-day FAFSA includes step-by-step instructions and even skips unnecessary questions based on the information one enters.
- Being Unprepared. Some students don't realize they need a lot of information beyond their name and address. Also required are various income records, including those of parents if a student is still a dependent.
- Not reading the directions. As simple as it is, many people merely misread or don't bother to read important instructions regarding the application.
- Entering information that is not correct. People that input the wrong social security number or put their nickname instead of their birth name will experience delays in processing. Remember, the FAFSA is a government form, so everything must be entered as it appears on one's birth certificate, social security card, visa, and other official documents.
- Failing to report parent information. The rules for dependency are different for financial aid than they are for the IRS. Even if a student lives on his or her own, pays his or her own bills, and files his or her own taxes, they may still be considered a dependent for the purposes of financial assistance.
- Neglecting to use the IRS import tool. Most FAFSA applicants would rank entering financial information as the most difficult step. The Department of Education has streamlined this process by allowing applicants to import their financial information into the FAFSA system directly from the IRS. Yet, for whatever reason, some students and parents fail to use this valuable feature.
- Forgetting to sign the FAFSA. Before the application can be official, it must be signed by the student (and, if a dependent, by his or her parents) using the four-digit pin number assigned to them by the Department of Education. Even if every single question in the document is completed correctly, the application will not be accepted without a digital signature.

Stuck in a long line of non-moving traffic today, it occurred to me that this sign would mean something different entirely if a number replaced the icon at the top.
It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection. These are the times when maps fade, old landmarks crumble and direction is lost. Forwards is backwards now, so we glance sideways at the strange lands through which we are all passing, knowing for certain only that our destination has disappeared. We are unready to meet these times, but we proceed nonetheless, adapting as we wander, reshaping the Earth with every tread. Behind us we have left the old times, the standard times, the high times. Welcome to the irregular times.

Cast: Friedman Joins Terfel Todd, Pulver Parades
Editorial Staff • West End • 14 Jun 2007
A thriller set in Victorian London and based on the infamous tale of the vengefully bloodthirsty barber and his pie-making proprietress, Sweeney Todd was premiered in New York in 1979 in a production directed by Harold Prince and starring Len Cariou as Todd and Angela Lansbury as Mrs Lovett and which won eight Tony Awards. It has music and lyrics by Sondheim and a book by Hugh Wheeler.
At the Southbank Centre, David Freeman directs. The lead performers are accompanied by the Maida Vale Singers and Guildford School of Acting's chorus. Stephen Barlow directs the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Friedman has won Oliviers for By Special Arrangement, Ragtime and Sondheim's Passion. She won Best Actress in a Musical in the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards for her last West End outing, in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White, which she also starred in on Broadway.
Friedman and bass-baritone Bryn Terfel are joined by two other high-profile Sondheim aficionados. Daniel Evans - who has won two Oliviers for his Sondheim credits, Merrily We Roll Along and the Menier Chocolate Factory revival of Sunday in the Park with George, transferring next year to Broadway – will play Mrs Lovett's doting servant Tobias, and Philip Quast – who won the Best Actor in a Musical Olivier for the 1990 UK premiere of Sunday in the Park with George (in which he co-starred with Friedman) – will play Judge Turpin. Also so far confirmed are Adrian Thompson (as Pirelli) and Steve Elias (the Beadle).
In other musical casting updates (See News, 23 Feb 2007), the London premiere of American composer and lyricist Jason Robert Brown's two-time Tony Award-winning 1998 musical Parade will star Lara Pulver, who last year appeared in the UK premiere of Brown's The Last Five Years at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
Pulver's other musical credits include national tours of Miss Saigon, High Society, The Boy Friend, Chicago and Honk! as well as Grease in the West End and, currently, Into the Woods at the Royal Opera House. Based on a true story, Parade is set in 1913 Atlanta, where a Jewish man from Brooklyn stands accused of the murder of a young factory worker. It has a book by Alfred Urhy, music and lyrics by Brown and was co-conceived by Hal Prince, who directed its premiere at New York's Lincoln Center in 1998.
The new production, running from 14 September (previews from 14 September) to 24 November 2007 at the Donmar Warehouse, will also mark the directorial debut for American choreographer Rob Ashford (Guys and Dolls and Evita for which he won this year's Whatsonstage.com Award for Best Choreographer). It's designed by Christopher Oram. No further casting has yet been announced.

Three horses killed on opening day of Cheltenham Festival in worrying echo of last year's Grand National meet
- Scotsirish, Garde Champetre and Educated Evans all died on the course which has claimed the lives of nine horses in five years
- Animal Aid claims the race in which two of the horses died should never have taken place because the ground was too firm
The Cheltenham Festival began yesterday with its most tragic day for six years.
Three horses were put down after suffering serious injuries.
Spectators and TV viewers watched in horror as the first, Scotsirish – who had been the favourite to win his race – broke a hind leg at a hurdle. The horse's distress was witnessed by millions in TV footage as he was pulled up.
Tragic: Scotsirish, pictured here in 2009, died after breaking a hind leg on the opening day's racing of the Cheltenham Festival. Two other horses were also killed
Heartbreaking: Garde Champetre, 13, right, suffered a serious injury today and had to be destroyed. The horse is pictured here in 2008
Another runner in the same race, Garde Champetre, was also destroyed after sustaining a similar injury.
Officials later announced that a third horse, Educated Evans, was to be put down after falling in the 2½-mile novice chase – the final event of the day.
The tragedies infuriated animal rights groups. One, Animal Aid, warned that the ground was 'dangerously firm' and claimed races 'should never have taken place'.
Of the event that claimed the lives of Scotsirish and Garde Champetre – the seven-furlong cross-country handicap chase – a spokesman for the group said: 'Rather than take the precautionary step of calling off the race, officials risked the lives of the horses, and two paid the ultimate price.'
The claims were vigorously denied by race organisers last night.
They said the course and its obstacles had been inspected several times to ensure that it was safe.
'It was watered and it was deemed perfectly fine to race on by the course inspector,' a British Horseracing Authority spokesman said.
The deaths are sure to reignite debate over whether horse-racing is an unnecessarily cruel sport.
Before yesterday's deaths, nine horses had been killed at the Cheltenham Festival between 2007 and 2011.
In 2006, 11 horses were killed, including six on one day. Three of those came after the novice chase.
Critics say the Festival puts horses under enormous pressure due to its big, noisy crowds and frenetic atmosphere.
Fury: Animal welfare groups have reacted angrily following the deaths of the three horses on the first day's racing at the Cheltenham Festival
They also warn that many of the races feature too many horses, making it difficult for the animals to judge their jumps.
However, race organisers say they take horse safety 'very seriously' – and that campaign groups such as Animal Aid are not welfare organisations, but 'extremists'.
A spokesman for the BHA said: 'Like most competitive sports, racing carries risks. No one wants to see valuable and valued racehorses killed and injured.
'It is regrettable that three horses suffered accidents where the injury was not treatable and so euthanasia was the proper and humane option.
'Racecourses, horse-racing trainers and the sport's regulator are not complacent about these risks, and recognise there is still more to do, including both on-going improvements and scientific research, to further reduce these risks.' Animal Aid said they planned to hold a protest at Cheltenham today to remind racegoers of 'the heavy price paid by horses' at the event.
A spokesman for the group said: 'More horses have been killed at Cheltenham Racecourse than at any other in the country over the past five years – a little-known statistic that the owners of the course will not be keen to share with the paying punters.'
The Cheltenham Festival is not the only racing event to have come under scrutiny in recent years. Five horses were killed at last year's Grand National meeting – the highest death toll since 1997.
The BBC was criticised for 'barely mentioning' the deaths, 'concealing' the grim reality of horse-racing and presenting a 'dishonest, sanitised picture' of the sport to boost overseas sales of the footage.
At the time, the Corporation denied taking part in any 'cover-up' and said its presenters always gave an update on the condition of horses injured in a race.

BenQ MS517 SmartEco Projector Review
The three biggest obstacles to using a front projector has been its physical size, the space needed between the lens and the surface on which the image is projected and the cost. BenQ's MS517 SmartEco Projector shatters all of these with a large and competent image that can be used for a multitude of purposes.
The MS517 is compact in size but has a full range of inputs for using it with a Blu-ray player, a game console, cable box, laptop running Windows 7, etc. (it can also project a 3D image).
The resolution of this bulb-driven projector is SVGA (800 x600) and functions in conjunction with DLP (digital light projection) technology. Zoom (1.1X) and focus controls are both manually operated and found on top, as is an extensive touch control panel. But even more useful is the short throw lens, which can bring up a 50 foot image from less than 8 feet away. And due to it's minimal weight, it can easily be moved from one location to another, or put away after use (vertical keystone correction is included, but using this digital function will impact the resolution and isn't recommended except in dire circumstances).
The remote can access all functions. The first time I turned on the projector, having waited about 2 minutes for it to reach full intensity, I forced myself to go thorough all of the settings to make sure that all digital enhancements were turned off. But I left the economy settings at their default, since one of the projector's strengths is how it manages the bulb's intensity; for example, if there's no signal it will shift to a dimmed state of 30% intensity. You can also turn the projector back on within 90 seconds of having turned it off without negatively impacting the bulb's life.
The settings that I came back to the most often were in order to change the color temperature, the image's brightness ("Dynamic" is extra bright) and to overall change the color palette based on the color of the wall the image was displayed on. This setting assumes a non-white wall (yellow, pink, blue) and provides pre-calibrated color alterations. It's a highly useful feature for dealing with this particular issue.
During the time I had with the MS517 it encountered two uses which exemplified its abilities. A friend who puts on small business conferences asked me about getting a projector that was not expensive, easy to use and able to provide a bright enough image to deal with the ambient light issues found in the typical hotel meeting room. I suggested he try out the MS517 at his next session and went along to watch him setting it up for the first time, which he did with little help from me.The MS517's bright level of illumination (2800 ANSI lumens) and high contrast (1300:1) was perfect for his use, and he told me afterwards that he didn't know that such a small projector could project as bright an image as it did on the portable screen he had brought along.
The second use was to celebrate an anniversary which had a "gallery" theme as the couple collected animation artwork of the 80's and 90's. The MS517 was set up in a corner so as to throw its beam onto a nearby wall and took its video signal from a connected DVD player's disc of images momentous to the couple's time together. The short throw of the lens enabled the image to be projected on the wall inside a mounted "frame" without causing there to be a wide open space between the two; this kept the image from being blocked by passerby's. And the MS517 had no problems dealing with the ambient and track lighting.
The MS517 can also be used for watching movies, but here it will be a bit of a disappointment for those looking for a Full HD 1080p image, especially since it's a native 4:3 aspect ratio. It showed off its value when I brought it over to a friend and we watched a film with some others projected on his wall — the portability and wall color changing feature coming into play.
Bottom line: At $339, the BenQ's MS517 SmartEco Projector is a capable front projection system that is well suited for use in portable situations.

The snow pant with the mysterious name.
The Men's AB/BC Pant from Airblaster is the pro model pant for Brandon Cocard, and it's his way of reminding himself exactly why he started riding: to have fun. Fully taped seams and a proprietary membrane help seal out moisture or, when things get hot, open up the mesh-lined leg vents and let that cool breeze on in. Ankle gaiters help to seal off your lower sections, while a built-in waist adjustment lets you secure things up top.
- Proprietary membrane (10K/10K)
- Fully taped seams
- Mesh-lined inner leg vents
- Internal ankle gaiters
- Built-in waist adjustment
- Zippered hand pockets

What do you think of the
Airblaster AB/BC Pant - Men's
? Share a...
Good Pant, fit well, but not "Tailored"
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
NOTE: Backcountry.com rates these pants as regular, but Airblaster advertises them as "Tailored." Trust BC.com and not AB...
Not really what I was expecting when Airblaster's Website description said "Tailored"
I am 5'11'' 155lbs and ordered the medium, and they fit like a normal semi-baggy snow pant would. Nothing about the pant was "Tailored"
No Articulated knees, no stretch in the fabric, no slim legs... I am not sure how baggy their other pants must be to consider these tailored, but compared to the other brands I tried on these were by far the baggiest of the group.
So if you are looking for a standard fitting high quality snow pant than this is a good option, but if you want a slightly more slim (not tight) pant than I would recommend Volcom Wall pant.

Man sentenced for aiming laser at police copter
DALLAS (AP) — A 22-year-old Dallas man has been sentenced to 2½ years in prison for aiming a green laser beam at a Dallas police helicopter.
Prosecutors say Kenneth Santodomingo, who has used at least two aliases in the past, was sentenced in federal court Thursday. He pleaded guilty in February to aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft.
Santodomingo was arrested Jan. 28 after the beam hit the helicopter pilot's vision several times. Officers aboard the copter found where the light was coming from and directed officers on the ground to Santodomingo.
They were flying in the area searching for a burglary suspect.
Authorities say Santodomingo told officers he wanted to see how far the laser pointer could reach.
He's been in custody since his arrest.

Very good. I used a medium coarse stone ground cornmeal so the muffins had a lot of texture. I made 5 jumbo muffins from this recipe. I cooked for 15 minutes and they were perfectly cooked. I was expecting to have to cook longer, but I am glad I didnt. Will try some additions (such as scallion or jalapeno) next time. Theses were perfect served with a southwestern spicy chicken soup.flag if inappropriate
Great recipe - so light and fluffy. A great base recipe - will try adding other ingredients for variation.flag if inappropriate
These were very good. Like another reviewer, I added the maple syrup to the batter so I wouldn't end up with leftover maple butter.flag if inappropriate
Better than the average cornbread muffin. (I used buttermilk powder and a cup of milk for the liquid, just because most purchased buttermilk is the fake cultured stuff).flag if inappropriate
These are DELICIOUS. Maple syrup very expensive here, and buttermilk not too common either, but still good with the fake stuff and normal milk or yoghurt. Great with chopped jalepenos tooflag if inappropriate
Double the eggs and add maple syrup, corn and cheddar cheese to it. Perfect.flag if inappropriate
My new favorite thing. I used Grade A syrup because I was in a time crunch and couldnt find Grade B but they turned out great anyway.flag if inappropriate
I just made these for my neighbors honey processing party (they raise bees). They went over like hotcakes. I took clues from previous reviews using two eggs & added a cup of corn to the finished batter. I used honey (from their hives) instead of sugar. Had to increase baking time to 23 minutes. I think that if the muffins weren't being served with butter and honey, that they could use a little more sweetness. Otherwise, they were very light and moist.flag if inappropriate
Just made these. My 10 year old loved them. I added a couple of tablespoons of honey to the wet ingredients as well as some frozen corn. Yum.flag if inappropriate
great recipe... I listened to the other reviews. I added an extra egg, a little extra buttermilk and a little extra butter. I also addded half a can of corn. They are moist and delicious. Next time I will add more sugar. Overall, a great basic recipe. I will start experiementing.flag if inappropriate

TTC: Coming off the pill.
Comments (10)
i stopped BC pills the end of August. I got a normal period less than 2 weeks later. And, I've had normal cycles with ovulation since then. Just waiting for our BFP!
SRDLM for Life!
I got my BFP the first month I got off birth control but then had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. My OB told me that more people miscarry when they get pregnant right after stopping birth control. It's just a statistic with no real causality but it's something I didn't know about. That was last Sunday so now I'm just waiting for my body to get back to normal so I can TTC again. :( Lots of people get pregnant their first month after birth control with no problems, I just have bad luck I guess.
Katie (29) and G (30) est 6/2007
TTC our first
Mine: S born in 2012. His: S born in 2005. MCs: 11/2012. 09/2013. 02/2014. (Somewhat) Impatiently waiting on "ours"....
i finished my last pack of bc in may of this year had one normal cycle and havent been regular since then. im currently on cd 27 and have been habing brown spotting since cd 24.....my husband is hopefully getting an SA this month so we can get started on clomid next month. i think i have a hormone issue not sure if its related to bc pill or not. i had regular cycles before i started bc 5 years ago...soo frustrating i am glad we went ahead and started trying im 23 he is almost 27 so we have plently of time to try!!
good luck!
Stopped birth control begining of August and started trying that month. I have cycles around 27-29 days long and seem to ovulate every month (according to the positive OPK). This will be our 5th month trying. Hoping for a positive!
i only had like a week left of active pills when i stopped, so i didn't finish the pack. but my period still came when it was supposed to. some ppl say to wait til the end of the pack. and maybe that's the best thing, so you don't mess with your body too much. good luck!!!

The Ten Doctors
It's amazing to think that by 2006 our favourite television hero will have hit double figures in terms of the number actors to have played him on television. In case you haven't seen it on the www.dwin.org main page, David Tennant was announced as the 10th Doctor yesterday by the BBC.
I suppose that reaching 10 actors to play the role happened quicker than anyone thought it was going to happen when the series was announced to be coming back in September 2003 - but looking at it another way, if the series had never gone off the air to begin with we'd probably be on our 12th, 13th or even 14th Doctor by now, given that most actors only stay in the role for 3 years. It's still an incredible achievement for a television series - just imagine asking the original production team back in 1963 if they thought this would be happening 42 years into the future. William Hartnell was the most optimistic of the original cast, believing the show could be so unbelievably successful that it might run for as many as 5 years. And look at it now!
William, Patrick, Jon, Tom, Peter, Colin, Sylvester, Paul, Christopher and now David (with a very appropriate last name for Doctor number ten). Ten different actors, ten different first names, ten different incarnations, but one Doctor Who.

Conversations with my mother
(Contains fairly mild spoilers for The Unquiet Dead and
The End of the World)
So I call my mum back in England and ask about my nephews
(ages 5 and 9)...
Me: So did the kids watch Doctor Who?
Mum: Yes.
Me: They liked it?
Mum: Um, yes. It was a bit scary for them I think.
Me: Scary in a good way?
Mum: Yes, they were scared of the ghosts but they didn't have nightmares. Lots of questions about coffins and death though. Last week's they handled much better. Future stories with aliens and spaceships they can't get enough of, though after last week's episode we had to sit Stephen down and convince him that the world isn't about to blow up.
Me: Are all the kids talking about it at school?
Mum: Yes, they're all watching it. The boys at least.
Me: Are you enjoying it?
Mum: Yes I am!
Me: Who are you and what have you done with my mother?
Mum: It's so much better than the old one. It occurred to me though, if it really happened, we'd never know.
Me: Pardon?
Mum: If aliens really had invaded in the nineteenth century and someone stopped them, we'd have no idea it had happened.
Me: Riiiiiiight…
Welcome back Doctor Who!

And the Hits Keep On Comin'
More things I thought I'd never see: Doctor Who not only continues to trounce Ant and Dec in their timeslot, but with 8.3 million people watching The Unquiet Dead, Doctor Who also managed to score higher ratings than a Royal Wedding (6.2 million), a Grand National (7.3 million) and even Casualty (8.0 million) too.
We're still waiting for the fan prophesy of doom of viewers switching off en masse after the news of Eccleston's departure to happen, but it doesn't seem to be occuring. All we can say is, hooray for the British viewing public for having more faith in Doctor Who!

That was awesome.

The premiere of Doctor Who destroyed in the ratings on April the 5th. Doctor Who did extremely well on the CBC with over 986 000 viewers. Compared to the 9.9 million in UK this number might seem small…but for Canadian television numbers, and for the CBC this is HUGE, and exactly where we wanted the show to come in at.
Doctor Who did not win the evenings rating's war across the board…it did, however, win for the network. Four shows on other major Canadian networks beat Doctor Who. They were American Idol (2 508 000) which was in the same time slot, The Amazing Race (3 140 000), LAW AND ORDER:SVU (1 294 000) and CTV National News (1 428 000). Three of those shows are big US productions, with an established following while the news is…THE NEWS!
Put it another way Doctor Who DESTROYED House, Judging Amy, CBC's News, Jag, The Outer Limits, Blue Jays baseball, and a host of other programs in and around that time slot.
So this fan is very happy indeed, and I'm sure the CBC is as well. Doctor Who won CBC's night, and reportedly did more than double what programming that slot normally gets on a Tuesday evening. On any day 986 000+ viewing the CBC is amazing… I can only think of Hockey getting better numbers than Doctor Who. And this number only reflects what the industry can measure…so I'm sure the numbers are even higher here in Canada, as well as in the UK.
It's this fan's opinion that Doctor Who will have a nice run on the Mother Corp, and that we'll be seeing Series two on the Ceeb before too long.

The Fifth of April, Two Thousand and Five
Sweet Mother, I thought this day would never come.
Doctor Who airs…heck it PREMIERE's TODAY on our national broadcaster at 8pm!
North America has long been awaiting the return of Doctor Who…and it's finally here. Canadians from coast to coast , and those lucky American's in nearby boarder towns will finally get to see what 9.9 million confirmed (and joyful) U.K. viewers saw 2 Saturday evenings ago.
Also don't forget to check out the CBC's special six part documentary serial on the subject called: The Planet of the Doctor.

When I am not busy being a Doctor Who fan and a Doctor Who Blogger, I work as a Communications Manager for a grad school in Toronto. One of the things I do in that capacity is prepare press releases from time to time.
When I produce a press release on anything, it is standard operating procedure that I need to have the permission of anyone I am quoting—regardless of whether the quote is something they've said or something I've ghostwritten for them. If I did not do that, there would be grounds for a serious reprimand, and depending on the seriousness of the matter, outright dismissal.
Which makes the BBC's admission that they had not consulted Christopher Eccleston in writing a press release on his departure from the series all the more mystifying to me. This was a major press release. Whatever the situation, whatever the ticking clock, if you don't have the signoff of the major parties in the release, it borders on either incompetence or negligence or both to put something out in their name.
This is made even worse by the admission that "the BBC ... did not consult [Eccleston] about that statement and also broke its agreement not to reveal he planned to film just one series" This means that even more sign-offs weren't done: with the drama department, with the series producers, even their legal department.
A gaffe like this is incredibly serious. Because it will come to bite you on the ass. And this time it did.
That press release provoked a shitstorm in the press and online like nothing else. Eccleston was horsewhipped from pillar to post in the media for leaving because of typecasting, even though a number of people over the past week have tried to point out that the "typecasting" reason for leaving was an unattributed remark—it wasn't even provided as a quote—and that Christopher Eccleston has made no comment whatsoever on leaving the role.
They had good reason to point this out. Because Eccleston didn't say it. Nor has he given any reason for leaving even still, though we now know it was on the cards since at least January.
In the days that follow, there's going to be a great deal of sober reflection, but none more sober than the person in the BBC Press Office who started this in the first place.
