Jim Rogers, the gregarious CEO of Kampgrounds of America Inc., will transform into mild-mannered Tim Bickford, an out-of-work accountant from San Francisco on CBS's hit series "Undercover Boss," Friday, Jan. 11 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET/PT).
Rogers has been at the helm of KOA – the world's largest system of family-friendly campgrounds – for the past 12 years. The company, born in Billings, Mont., in 1962 and still headquartered near that first campground location, now has 489 locations in the U.S. and Canada.
The Emmy Award-winning Undercover Boss show is now in its fourth season.
"My front line assignments on 'Undercover Boss' affirmed the importance of creating KOA systems that maximize the time that campground staff members can spend with guests," Rogers stated in a news release. "I learned that the great people we have on the front lines can always use more time to better know and serve our campers. Genuine engagement, ultimately, is what it's all about. KOA campground owners and their staffs are the real heroes of KOA."
Rogers said he welcomed the chance to go undercover, taking on the persona of a "front line" KOA employee.
"'Undercover Boss' is great entertainment, but it also does a great service by taking the general public behind the scenes of popular companies," Rogers said. "Every episode is a case study in business management."
"My experience on 'Undercover Boss' once again confirmed to me the importance of 'sweating the small things,'" Rogers said. "Being undercover gave me an unobstructed view of where our business gets done. Being there were no special advanced preparations for me, and that led to a lot of surprises – some good and some not so good."
Rogers said he was heartened by KOA frontline staff's understanding of the "Golden Rule" when serving campers, always doing their jobs in a manner that would exceed a guest's expectations.
"It was also great to see our franchisees and our staff's commitment to our charity effort for KOA Care Camps for children with cancer," he said. "Their support for Care Camps really makes a difference."
Each week, the Emmy Award-winning show, which is in its fourth season, follows a different executive as they leave the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their companies. While working alongside their employees, they see the effects their decisions have on others, where the problems lie within their organizations and get an up-close look at both the good and the bad while discovering and rewarding the unsung heroes who make their companies run.

Well, the past two weeks have been relatively good.
I have tried to focus more on what types of foods I am eating. I am going by the Core Plan on Weight Watchers to lead my choices but still counting my flex points. I have tried to limit my sugar as much as possible. I usually have some type of slip up everyday. I did have one perfect day recently though... last Thursday - I ate very well and even had 4 points left over after dinner to use for dessert. It felt so nice to do so well! But, I was busy all day. Being a SAHM, it is hard not to munch... and on that Thursday I didn't have time to munch. Today I didn't journal what I ate. If I think about what I have eaten today - I did nothing but snack until dinner time. My son had a big heart filled with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and who knows how many I finally ended up eating... 1 here .. 1 there...
But, I don't want to focus on the negative... the positive? I met my weight goal for last week. :) I changed my 1st Quarter Challenge goal from 235 to 249. It is just more realistic for me... I lose weight very slowly - but the weight I have lost I have pretty much kept off... which is good.
I have been working out like a dog. My friend (who is only 10 lbs overweight)started going to the gym with me again. After my 1st 15 mins on the treadmill and elliptical today she said she couldn't do anymore and moved on... I have surpassed her as far as cardio health. It is hard to think that my heart is in better shape than hers - yet I am 100 lbs over weight and her only 10 lbs.
One good thing about this journey so far is how much I have started loving to work out. For that 1 hour I feel like I have control... self control... and it is very sweet. Sometimes while I am working out really hard I will all of the sudden get this urge to cry and I have to quickly think of something else to get it to pass. I have never worked so hard in my life for anything other than this.
There was a girl in front of me and my friend today on a treadmill. Her body could not been more perfect - exactly what I dream about. She was normal yet fit. She ran on the treadmill for 30 mins + and had hardly broken a sweat. I wonder if she has always been like that? Has she ever been fat? Has she ever loved food too much?
Since the new year I have seen a lot more obese people in the gym. So many times I want to go up to them and say, "I am in this with you.." but I am too chicken. You never know how people will react to any comment related to their appreance.
Well, tomorrow is another day... and another chance to get this right.
-1.2 LB, 97.4 To Go
Well, the past two weeks have been relatively good.

If you've been looking for a stainless-steel citrus press or juicer, then look no further than the line of stainless steel kitchen tools and cookware from Tramontina.
We've had this product for a few weeks and have definitely wondered why more of our kitchen tools aren't made of stainless steel. We like that you can put your full weight into the press of the citrus press and see the strainer catch every pit. Also, since it's made of stainless steel it cleans up easily when washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

A customer who complains is a customer who wants to give you a second chance.
Fielding complaints from customers, whether the customer and their complaint are reasonable or silly, valid or invented, can be draining, annoying and disruptive, but it's all part of a restaurant owners's job.
Sometimes complaints can be overwhelming, but if you are able to listen to your customers patiently and attentively, what they are telling you may alert you to a situation in your restaurant that needs attention. What the customer is complaining about just may inform you about a problem that could be costing your restaurant business—and you might never have known about if the customer didn't tell you.
Who Cares?
Chris Tripoli of A'la Carte Foodservice Consulting Group has heard "the customer is always right" refrain thousands of times. But Tripoli has a twist on the saying. He enthusiastically declares, "The customer isn't always right, but who cares?"
Tripoli's point is that it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong. As an operator, your goal is to fill the seats in your restaurant in a profitable way. If you have to comp a meal or eat some humble pie, that's ok.
Tripoli says that resolving a customer complaint can never be about who is right and who is wrong. Rather he says the best decisions have everything to do with what works." Here's how one operator describes it: "I find that the only barrier to comping a complaining customer is my ego. Who cares if you give away a dish? What does it cost you? Almost nothing. You can only win; they are either unhappy, nasty people who will never come back anyway, or they will be impressed and come back, maybe to become regular customers. So get your ego out of the way, give away the food and move on to the next guest who is in love with what you do."
Dozens of studies exist that prove the beneficial effect on a business when a customer's problem is resolved in a positive manner. One such study says that 85 percent of people who have a problem with a business that is not resolved will not return. These people are dissatisfied customers, but instead of telling you why, they just walk out and never comeback.
The Bright side is that 80 percent of customers who are a problem resolved will return. Whether you retain those customers comes down to how you handle their complaint. It's not the problem that makes a restaurant lose an individual's business; its how that customer's complaint is resolved.
A Bird in Hand
In Leading on the Edge of Change, authors Emmet and Mark Murphy say that acquiring new customer can cost five times more that satisfying and retaining current customers. It's cheaper to retain and satisfy an existing customer than to go out and find a new one. That should be motivation enough for putting a smile on your face and dealing with a customer complaint.
Its clear there are strong and sound business reasons for doing what you can to retain a customer. That's why our first reaction to a complaining customer should always be to extend a hearty "Thank You!"
A customer who complains is a customer who wants to give you a second chance. When your first step is to thank the complaining customer for giving you the opportunity to make things right, you are assuring the customer that you want to do everything you can to make the customer happy again.

The Bunny Trains return starting March 28th through April 11th,
Saturdays and Sundays.
Please click on "Bunny Train Tickets" to the left for more information.
As Operation Lifesaver says, "Anytime is train time".
Have you ever wondered how to stay safe
around railroad tracks?
Click on the Operation Lifesaver link below to find out.
We are the Coopersville & Marne Railway, an all-volunteer historic railway operating vintage locomotives and circa-1920's cars from Coopersville, Mich. to Marne, Mich. (about 20 miles northwest of Grand Rapids, Mich.). We run passenger trains from spring to winter, rain or shine, to preserve a little chunk of railroad history and educate our passengers along the way. We train volunteers in operating and repairing railroad equipment, many of whom end up getting hired away by large commercial railroads once they've completed training with us.
We own and operate approximately 14 miles of track between Coopersville and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our track connects with the Grand Rapids Eastern Railroad, CSX and Grand Elk (N.S.) via an interchange at Walker, MI. We haul freight cars for our customers along the 7 miles of track between Marne and Grand Rapids.
Passenger service is offered only on the 7 miles between Coopersville and Marne. You will cross over an open deck girder bridge, four creeks and a road bridge as we travel through family-owned farms and fields. For a brief stretch, our track follows the route of Interstate 96. (Actually, the highway follows the railroad track which was first laid down in 1858. The track follows an ancient water route first cut into the earth by glacial events.) When the train gets to Marne, the locomotive is uncoupled from the east end. It then moves onto our passing siding alongside of your coach. The passengers wave to the engineer as the locomotive passes their window. On the siding, the locomotive goes through switches and is moved back onto our main track. It is then coupled onto the west end of the train to pull us back to the City of Coopersville.
We offer seasonally themed train events and excursions throughout the year. Our theme trains, from the beginning of the season, are:
"Beat the Train" 5K Race Coopersville Car Show Shuttle
The Bunny Train Murder Mystery Train
Veteran's Free Troop Train The Famous Pumpkin Train
The Great Train Robbery The Santa Train
Our popular, reduced fare, EnterTRAINment Excursions run on Saturdays from June through September. Sometime during your 90 minute journey through family-owned farms and fields, our Singing Trainman will be in your coach playing railroad and other acoustic songs. Also, the friendly Conductor will talk to you about our hometown Rock Star "Del Shannon", railroad history and our equipment. But, don't worry, you will also have plenty of time to just relax and watch the passing scenes outside of the windows.
Our schedule is subject to change or cancellation in the event of mechanical or track conditions. This is a very rare event if and when it happens. If a departure is changed, passengers who have registered reservations will be notified via email.
We run from April 6th, 2019 through December 22nd, 2019.
Freight car deliveries are the only traffic on our track in January and February.
Hover your cursor over the boxes below to show more detail. Click on any train ride on the schedule to be taken to a page to learn more about it. To see the schedule for different months, click the arrows to the left or right of the month name at the top of the calendar.

Kailua Living boutique mixes beachy apparel with home goods
Welcome Home
When one door closes, another door opens. No wait, we got that wrong.
When one store closes, another store opens. Yep, much better.
Case in point: after Kai Boutique lost its lease next to the Kailua post office, co-owner Shanon Jenkins Schubert decided to regroup and open a relaxed apparel and home shop, this time with Local Living Design Studio's Michele Baginski.
The pricey resortwear? Gone. Instead, you'll find racks of beachy bohemian pieces - think locally designed Lani Lau dip-dyed maxis, gauzy Bali Designs tunics and, coming soon, Mikoh and Tori Praver bikinis. Accessories are also more lifestyle than luxe with Jeanne Beatrice straw totes perfect for farmers market and beach goers, yogi-approved Barefoot mats and Baktuli microfiber towels. The custom jewelry case is stocked with locally made Rudraksha coral bangles and turquoise prayer beads by Gypset.
The front of the store is a beach cottage's dream: floor-to-ceiling shelves brimming with Baginski's signature hand-stamped and digitally printed pillows and bags, colorful Jaipur rugs and upcycled "Life is better at the beach" signs by Kailua-based Coastal Drifter.
And don't miss the art. Paintings are sprinkled throughout the store with a rotating gallery by local artists in back, so you can take a few moments to admire works by Kathryn Rone and Shannon E. McCarthy while sipping freshly brewed illy espresso (ohh yeah, they have that too).
The hardest part may be finding it. There's no designated lot, so you'll need to park on the street or in the municipal lot around the block, sneak past a bus stop and hop a gate.
Hey, whatever it takes to get your foot in the door.
Kailua Living is open Mondays-Saturdays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at 22 Oneawa St. For more information, call (808) 261-2200 or visit Kailua Living on Facebook.

"What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduce."
A compilation of photos that represent my documentary approach on the day.
Natural light, unstaged moments and genuine emotions are the three main factors I focus on when I'm shooting weddings.
Beatrici Photography is a wedding photographer based in Brighton and Hove + London, UK.
A compilation of photos that represent my documentary approach on the day. Natural light, unstaged moments and genuine emotions are the three main factors I focus on when I'm shooting weddings.
My Engagement Sessions are meant to capture a little snapshot of your life. I take photographs that represents who you trully are as a couple, your jokes, your cuddles, and your dynamics.
How do we pronounce your weird name?
My name is Alline Beatrici - Alline is pronounced like "panini" which some of my friends actually call me by… I also get people calling me Alien a lot, which is cool!
Where do you live? Can you travel to our wedding?
I am based in Brighton, and I shoot weddings all over the world!
Most weddings I photograph are based around London but I shoot weddings all over the country and overseas! I'll be shooting in Italy, France and America this year, so get in touch if you're looking for a destination wedding photographer!
How do we get our photos?
All edited High-Res photos will be sent to you in a USB + you will also get a snazzy private online gallery with all images to view and download from! Your photos will be categorised by parts of the wedding (i.e. ceremony, reception, group shots, dance etc) so your guests can find photos easily + you can share your gallery link with anyone you wish.
We don't like having our picture taken... What can you do?
I get this from 99% of my couples you've seen on this website! It's cool, I got you!
Whether you're introverts or extroverts, my goal is for you to look at your photos and recognise your genuine selves and your personalities. So, I will never ask you to do anything that isn't you. Instead of posing you, I will get you guys to interact with each other, and I will guide you whilst putting you in the most flattering light as I shoot.
Should we add a 2nd shooter?
If you're having over 120 guests, I strongly advise it.
Adding a 2nd shooter gives us a better chance to be able to capture all of your guests.
I don't have "assistants" so I only work with a team of photographers who are as equally qualified as me + have a similar photography approach as mine so I can provide consistency to your images. It almost works out if you're getting two photographers for a bargain of the price!
When will we receive our photos?
It normally takes me 4-6 weeks after the wedding to edit and deliver your full gallery.
Can we share our photos on social media?
Yes queen! I follow my couples on social media and I always get emotional seeing them sharing images that I took over the years! I'd love if you could tag me in so that your friends could find my work and who knows! maybe we get to hang out with each other again at their wedding in the future!
What if you are ill on the day?
I have never missed a wedding to this date. It would have to be the most serious illness or awful circurmtances to happen for me to miss your wedding but rest assured I do have back-up plan in place. I'm part of a network of trustworthy photographers spread all over the UK that I could contact to replace me in case of an emergency, or I would, of course, be able to offer you a full refund.
Do we need to feed you on the day?
You totally don't have to, but I would super appreciate if you do. It's a long day shooting weddings as I usually start super early in the morning and a hot meal always gives me more energy to shoot the rest of the day.
How can save our date with you?
Get in touch so I can send you my wedding form, and a £400 retainer fee invoice. There is no extra cost to secure your date with me, and this retainer fee will be deducted from your final invoice which I will send you 4 weeks before the weddings date.

STORRS – The postgame ceremonies were over but the emotional ride had not reached its conclusion. Kevin Ollie took the microphone and let 10,000 of his closest friends in on a little secret.
"I'm planning to come back here in April and raise a banner," he said.
This would be bold for any coach, and Ollie is usually as much a one-possession, let alone one-game-at-a-time type as any coach. But even after the Huskies struggled to beat 19-loss Rutgers 69-63, even after being outrebounded for the fifth time in six games and even after a game in which the Huskies' offense was almost entirely reliant on perimeter shooting, 12-for-25 on three-point attempts, Ollie was prepared to declare UConn's championship cup at least half full.
"The only way you're going to have a blessing is if you believe and have faith," Ollie said. "I believe we're going to be back here. I'm going to say it. I'm not going to say 'we're going to lose.' I believe we are going to win the national championship, and that's the only way I believe. I believe we're going to win the next game at Louisville. I just got faith in my team."
The Huskies (24-6), after the postseason ineligibility of 2013, will be one of 68 teams going to the NCAA Tournament and they are one of only two that can say they beat the team currently ranked No. 1 in the nation, Florida on Dec. 2. They can make a statement if they avenge a January loss and finish the regular season with a victory at Louisville, the defending national champ, on Saturday.
"It was emotion," Shabazz Napier said. "He said what he had to say and I'm going to back him up. I'm not going to say he's wrong. No matter what team you are, you can be the worst team or the best team, you've got to feel that way."
And Ollie has three players who have done it before, improbable as it still all seems. The Huskies finished the 2010-11 regular season with losses to West Virginia and Notre Dame, their eighth and ninth losses, but then won five games in five days at the Big East tournament. Jim Calhoun revealed afterward that he predicted a national championship after Kemba Walker's game-winning shot in the Big East tournament, but did it privately to associate head coach George Blaney. Ollie was in his first season as an assistant on that staff.
Napier, Niels Giffey and Tyler Olander were freshmen on that team, and know it can be done — and what it took to do it.
"It's something we think we can do," Tyler Olander said. "We have the pieces of the puzzle, the experience. We can make a run like that and that's our goal. It's just taking a page from Coach Blaney's book, he'd always say, 'you don't play in tournaments to lose, you don't play for second place, you play to win.' We've got some guys who know what it takes, and we've got some guys who know what it feels like to get bumped out first round [in 2012]. You definitely don't want to feel like that."
Ollie's statement can only add a spring and a swagger to his players' step moving forward.
"He expects a lot of us," Giffey said. "That's the type of guy he is. He wants to set that standard for himself and for the team. He's not satisfied with where we are now, he wants to get back up there. That's why I think he's the only guy who can step into Coach Calhoun's footsteps."
Napier scored 26 points against Rutgers, making a career-high seven three-pointers. Giffey, who has been UConn's most consistent shooter all season, scored a career-high 16 points. Others are struggling. DeAndre Daniels was limited by foul trouble. Struggling Ryan Boatright was 2-for-7. The Huskies were outscored in the paint 20-14 and allowed the Scarlet Knights to shoot 43.4 percent.
Now the Huskies are entering win-or-go-home territory, the American Athletic Conference and NCAA tournaments, with no margin for error.
In addition to Florida, which has since won 22 in a row, the Huskies have a number of quality wins – two against Memphis, one against Cincinnati, one against Indiana and Maryland early on – and two frustrating losses to SMU. Throughout Ollie's two seasons, the Huskies are 44-16 and have shown considerable mettle in close and overtime games.
"I have confidence in my guys," Ollie said. "I have confidence we're going to win every game. If you don't believe it, you're never going to have anything. I came here as a coach, I believed in myself, I believed in my coaching staff. No matter what the situation was. We've got a chance, like every other team. Like 68 other teams, we've got a chance, so why not think it?"

One of the joys of a new Maurice Sendak book is reading the book, of course. But another is seeing the spate of frank, illuminating new interviews with the author-illustrator, now 83. And it's striking to see the different slants of the articles and the different information each writer managed to elicit.
Many book fans, for instance, already love Terry Gross of National Public Radio for her intelligent questions and ability to draw out subjects. It turns out Sendak is a fan as well, telling her how pleased he was to learn she wanted to call him up once more. He talked with her about the sadness of missing loved ones who were gone, including his partner of 50 years, Eugene Glynn, as well as the "blessing" of living to old age and appreciating the world's beauty. He and Glynn "lived together for all of the years so that we [could] make trips to our favorite places in Europe, so that we could read our favorite books, so that we could and this is most important – we could listen to music," he told Gross. And he was glad he didn't have children of his own – he would have loved to have a daughter, he told her, but a real one "would be hard work, work I would not want to do."
Sendak's new book, "Bumble-ardy," the tale of a pig who holds his first-ever birthday party at age 9, struck Gross in particular for two "loaded" lines after the pig's aunt throws out his friends. The aunt tells him ""Okay smarty, you've had your party but never again. And then Bumble-ardy says in tears, "I promise, I swear, I won't ever turn 10."
Gross says that the "never again" makes her think of the Holocaust. Sendak tells her those are his favorite lines in the book, and no one has had her take on them before.
"Those two lines are essential … but I won't pretend that I know exactly what it means," he told her. "I only know it touches me deeply, and when I thought of it, I was so happy I thought of it. It came to me, which is what the creative act is all about."
He told Gross at the tender, introspective interview's end that she is the only person who has ever brought out such things in him. "There's something very unique and special in you, which I so trust," he told her. And then he said, "And almost certainly, I'll go before you go, so I won't have to miss you."
His interview with The Guardian comes off as far more curmudgeonly, with the reporter commenting that "at 83, Sendak is still enraged by almost everything that crosses his landscape." His take for the reporter on ebooks, for instance: "I hate them. It's like making believe there's another kind of sex. There isn't another kind of sex. There isn't another kind of book! A book is a book is a book." His take on Roald Dahl, a fellow children's author with adult appeal? "The cruelty in his books is off-putting. Scary guy. I know he's very popular but what's nice about this guy? He's dead, that's what's nice about him."
Yikes! We won't even reprint his words on Salmon Rushdie and Stephen King. And yet The Guardian interview has its heartbreaking moments too, as when he tells the interviewer that his parents led desperate lives and his childhood was dysfunctional. "I remember when my brother was dying, he looked at me and his eyes were all teary. And he said, 'Why were we so unkind to Mama?' And I said, 'Don't do that. We were kids, we didn't understand. We didn't know she was crazy.' "
Sendak showed The Globe and Mail his cranky side as well, (don't look for iPad versions of his books as long as he's alive to stop it, he vowed) but did say that what he loves best in the world now is reading: "To hell with [writing] the books, to hell with everything. I just reread The Odyssey, and it's funny. It's funny in a way I didn't realize was funny. And I'm going to read Proust right after this. And then I've got to read Henry James somewhere in there. I want to hear his voice again. I want to smell his color. It's so tantalizing."
And in The Atlantic, Sendak comes across as frank and blunt rather than sour, telling the reporter, for instance, that children's letters saying they hate his books are among the most gratifying ones he receives. It shows him that "I have pierced their armor."
The Atlantic reporter tells Sendak that the aunt in Bumble-ardy reminded him of the Mother Bear in Else Minarik's "Little Bear" books, which Sendak illustrated long ago. Sendak replied, "When I did those books, I was quite young. And I wished for a mother bear. I wanted somebody like that in my life. My mother was troubled and she was an ordinary human being, but I had high expectations of her. I didn't know about her problems. I didn't care about her problems – I thought she was there for me! And if she wasn't there for me, she was not really a good mother. So, the expectations of children are very charged and difficult."
The expectations of adults can be charged and difficult as well. But I'll always be glad to learn more about this complex, talented man. He told the Associated Press that he hates memoirs, so don't expect to see one from him. But perhaps, someday, a biography?

13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 o"Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine."
3 Then Moses said to the people, p"Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, qfor by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. rNo leavened bread shall be eaten. 4 Today, in the month of sAbib, you are going out. 5 And when the Lord brings you into tthe land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which uhe swore to your fathers to give you, a land vflowing with milk and honey, wyou shall keep this service in this month. 6 xSeven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen with you, and no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory. 8 yYou shall tell your son on that day, 'It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.' 9 And it shall zbe to you as a sign on your hand and as aa memorial zbetween your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt. 10 bYou shall therefore keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
11 "When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, cas he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you, 12 dyou shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the Lord's. 13 eEvery firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. Every ffirstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 14 gAnd when in time to come your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' you shall say to him, h'By a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of islavery. 15 For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the jLord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but kall the firstborn of my sons I redeem.' 16 lIt shall be as a mark on your hand or frontlets between your eyes, for mby a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt."
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did nnot lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, "Lest the people ochange their minds when they see war and return to Egypt." 18 But God pled the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle. 19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph1 had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, q"God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here." 20 And rthey moved on from Succoth and encamped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness. 21 And sthe Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. 22 The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.
About English Standard Version
The English Standard Version™ is founded on the conviction that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. And because the words themselves—not just the thoughts or ideas—are inspired by God, each word must be translated with the greatest precision and accuracy. As Jesus Himself stressed, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4).
This passion for God's Word is the driving force behind the translation of the ESV™ Bible. The English Standard Version™ does not try to "improve" on the original in light of today's culture or by using trendy language. Instead, the utmost care has been taken to express God's Word in English that most closely captures the meaning of the original, with understandability, beauty, and impact.

Sex, drugs and sausage rolls: Hey, world, can I come and play?
This is my blog, then.
It's strange. You suddenly think: "I'm going to start a blog!". You get all excited, setting it up, choosing an avatar, coming up with a funky theme, title, colour scheme, etc.
Then you sit down and think: "Hmm…what am I actually going to write about?"
I'm going to try my hardest not to get all Sex and The City on your ass, but seeing as how my daily life involves working my butt off, writing, socialising and looking for a date, I suppose it's inevitable you'll end up drawing comparisons.
So let me set the record straight.
For starters I'm male (guy_interrupted should have given it away). I've just turned thirty. I work as an editor, writing and managing content for a couple of pretty big websites – a hard, but well paid job. I'm gay (in both senses of the word), single (my last boyfriend split with me a week before my birthday – cheapskate) and I seem to have a love life closely resembling a ride at Alton Towers (costly, often terrifying and sometimes leaving you feeling a bit sick afterward – not to mention the long periods of waiting around in between).
I'm neurotic and sarcastic, I like action films, rock music and going to the gym. I'm also rather addicted to my BlackBerry, which makes a nice, healthy change from crack.
Oh, and I've done a bit of modelling on the side. Which is tacky, but if someone wants to pay me to stand in front of a camera and look moody then I ain't complainin'.
I've had my fair share of dramas in life, from violent relationships, bankruptcy (see previous – he stole all my money). An HIV diagnosis (seven years healthy and counting), earth shattering breakups, depression and drink and drug abuse. I refer you to paragraph seven – I wasn't joking.
Yeah, I suppose you could say I'm glad to have left my twenties behind…
Thankfully for my mother's sanity, I've picked myself up, dusted myself off and I'm now a perfectly well-adjusted individual who's glad he took a big ol' bite of life's apple (even if it loosened a couple of teeth) because it's given me a good outlook on things – and plenty of material to put on this blog.
The male Carrie Bradshaw I am not – in fact most people would compare me to Miranda in terms of my dry humour and slightly cynical outlook. I'm not ginger, but I do have an enormous crush on the guy who played her husband.
So I guess you could say this is my therapy. My diary. A place where I get to share my thoughts and feelings on everything that goes on in my washing machine of a brain.
I'll let you decide whether you want to keep turning the pages….

22nd December, 1820
It was the sort of occasion for which marriage-minded mamas resorted to all manner of nefarious trickery, for which obscenely expensive and exquisite gowns were purchased, and upon which the hearts and hopes and dreams of many a maiden were fixed.
The occasion which had all of London in a froth (the female half, particularly) was the first ever gathering of the League of Princes. Nine European Princes gathered in London to pledge their friendship and unite their nations for the greater good of Europe. Or something to that affect; most of London was in an utter frenzy because there were Princes in town. Eligible, marriageable Princes. Nine of them, in fact.
A ball was held at the Palace to celebrate. Invitations were highly coveted. The Duke of Uxbridge sold his for three thousand pounds to some title-hunting American. Five hundred invitations were sent. Six hundred favorable replies were received. The ball was an absolute crush.
The women were agog over the Princes. One man was decidedly not.
"How does it feel to not be the highest ranking chap in the room?" Jack Fitzwalter asked, clapping his friend, the Duke of Ashbourne on the back.
"I have never enjoyed myself at a ball more, now that the vicious machinations of debutants and their mothers are not directed at myself," Ashbourne answered truthfully. On every other occasion, since the day of his birth, he'd been The Most Eligible Bachelor In The Room.
Thus, it was strange to be able to relax, rather than be on guard for a wicked female to tear her bodice, muss up her hair and throw herself into his arms, as Miss Trawicke had done just Thursday last at the Westlake Soiree.
"Not one single female is remotely interested in you this evening," Fitzwalter said, awed. "It's as if you were manure on the bottom of one's boot."
"Ridiculous. I could still have any woman I chose," Ashbourne scoffed.
"Indeed? I wager that Lady Ophelia Marchant will not waltz with you," Fitzwalter said, inkling his head to the lady in question. Her family occupied the house next to Ashbourne's in London. While they were familiar to each other, his determination to avoid any suitable and unmarried female—as the Most Eligible Bachelor In The Room was wont to do—meant they were not close.
She was on what, her third season now? She was a plain lass, and too quiet and steadfast to draw many suitors. She was not the sort of woman to inspire mad passions in a man.
"Twenty pounds says she will," Ashbourne said, shaking his friends hand and strolling over to Lady Ophelia. Surely, he'd be twenty pounds richer in just a few moments.
"Good evening, Lady Ophelia." He bowed before her. She spared him the briefest of glances.
"Go away," she hissed. When he recovered from the surprise of being refused, Ashbourne delighted in the challenge before him.
"Would you like to waltz?" he asked, undeterred.
"No thank you," she replied.
"You realize you have just refused a duke," Ashbourne pointed out. It seemed overmuch to add that he was generally considered The Most Eligible Man In The Room.
"Pshaw. A duke is a trifling thing tonight. I'm saving myself for a Prince." At the mention of her quarry, Lady Ophelia's eyes brightened with excitement and her cheeks flushed with anticipation. Had he said she was plain? She was really pretty, in truth.
"Any particular Prince? I hope you hadn't set your heart on the Prince Furstenberg for he's been 'discovered' with Lady Samantha Weatherby. They were in the conservatory. Certain items of attire were missing."
Ashbourne and Lady Ophelia both turned to look at the ashen-faced Prince, who appeared shell-shocked and Lady Samantha, who smiled triumphantly and toasted her champagne flute.
"Oh well, one down. Eight options left," Lady Ophelia said.
"Seven. The Prince of Schleswig-Holstein retired early," Ashbourne said and Lady Ophelia scowled. "He tired of being hunted, I presume."
"That doesn't show much stamina now, does it?" Lady Ophelia murmured to his absolute shock.
"See, some things are more important than a title," The duke said, uttering a sentence he never imagined would cross his lips. "Like stamina."
"Your point, Your Grace?"
"A title isn't everything," he said.
"Really? Funny, that, coming from a Duke," she said, glancing away from the crowds and Princes and fixing her gaze upon him. Suddenly, he felt warm. Overheated.
"A duke whom you refused not a moment ago." He'd never been refused. She so clearly wasn't the slightest bit interested in his company, yet a team of horses could not have dragged him away from her. It so happened that Lady Ophelia was pretty and intriguing.
"That was before I knew there were only seven princes left," she said, sighing.
"Six," the duke corrected. The Prince of Piacenza was entering the ballroom from the terrace, arm in arm with a very smug Lady Melinda Buckley. His cravat was askew, her hair was disheveled.
"Five, really. The Prince Volkonsky is supposedly a crashing bore. I'm not sure I could tolerate that, not for all the tiaras in Europe," Lady Ophelia said. This elicited a grin on his part.
"Would you care to waltz now?" he asked. He didn't need twenty pounds but he did need to win. More than anything, he now really, truly desired a waltz with Lady Ophelia.
"There are still five princes left," she pointed out.
"Shall I dispatch them all?" he offered gallantly. Finally, she turned to look at him.
"You have never been so keen to dance with me before, duke. We are not strangers to one another."
"You never would have refused me before," he said frankly. Like many a man he was aroused and enthralled by the thrill of the chase, but despised being hunted himself. He did not puzzle on this double standard for he was noticing, for the first time, that Lady Ophelia possessed a marvelous, mouth watering figure. He clasped his hands behind his back, lest he surrender to the impulse to touch, to caress.
"Shh. The Prince of Capua is coming this way!" She cried.
"I believe he is headed toward the punch bowl."
"Well then to the punch bowl we must go."
"We?" That was a good sign, at least. Off to his left, Fitzwalter was laughing heartily at the sight of the Duke of Ashbourne trailing after Lady Ophelia Marchant, who was in hot pursuit of a Prince of Capua.
A mob swarmed the Prince as he arrived at the punch bowl. Apparently, the entire ton was suddenly, outrageously parched. He might have wished to watch the scene about to unfold—enhanced by the gin that young Lord Derby had spiked the punch with.
But Ashbourne noticed that he stood under the mistletoe. With Lady Ophelia. To hell with the waltz. He suddenly, desperately wanted a kiss.
Lady Ophelia noticed that she stood under the mistletoe with the Duke of Ashbourne whom she had adored a la distance for quite some time now. Years of pining for him had met with no success. Tonight, she deliberately switched her tactics to rebuff him rather than throw herself at him, as per the advice of her other neighbor, the devious Lady Palmerston.
She had curbed her impulses to waltz, to banter prettily with him. She had, by some Christmas miracle, managed to maneuver them under the mistletoe under the pretence of following the Prince of whatever to the punch bowl.
"There are still 5 Princes left," Ashbourne said. The ninny.
Lady Ophelia heaved a sigh. "I suppose a duke will do."
And before a gaggle of princes and ballroom stuffed with the haute ton, the duke of Ashbourne kissed Lady Ophelia Marchant.
After that, their betrothal was announced. And after that, he paid twenty pounds to Fitzwalter for though he failed to obtain a waltz, he'd scored a kiss. It was worth every penny.

Marijuana use had little effect on simulated driving skills, according to a Hartford Hospital study, but test subjects were more easily distracted when under the influence of the drug.
Investigators from Hartford Hospital and the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine assessed the simulated driving performance of 50 male and 35 female subjects in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. All 85 subjects reported having used marijuana from one to 10 times per month previously.
The study was published in the March issue of the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs.
During the study, some subjects were given actual marijuana cigarettes, and some were given a placebo, with neither the investigator nor the subject knowing which they had smoked. Another administrator kept track of who was given which type of cigarette.
The marijuana was supplied by the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the University of Mississippi, the only legal source of the drug in the U.S.
Subjects drove a high-tech simulator that was very realistic, said Beth Anderson, an investigator in the study. "It was an actual car with parts replaced by computers."
Participants then drove down a simulated country road for 15 minutes, first in an "uneventful" simulation, and then in collision-avoidance and distracted-driving simulations, the study states.
In the collision-avoidance portion, drivers reacted to simulated events such as another driver entering an intersection illegally, a changing traffic light, and a dog running into the road.
The researchers found no signifcant difference between the study groups in the collision-avoidance tests.
During the distracted-driving segment, participants solved "mental math" problems while driving, Anderson said. Subjects answered aloud simple math problems that were provided by a recording.
Speed and steering variability, as well as the number of errors made in the math portion of the test, were used to determine how impaired subjects were, according to Anderson.
"The study didn't find a lot of impairment," Anderson said. "[Subjects] slowed down. It looked like they were trying to compensate. Compensation would only take you so far."
The study states that "participants receiving active marijuana decreased their speed more so than those receiving the placebo cigarette during a distracted section of the drive."
Anderson stressed that the findings do not mean that driving high is harmless.
For instance, researchers noted that in the distracted-driving tests, "participants under the influence of marijuana failed to benefit from prior [driving] experience … as evidenced by a decrease in speed and a failure to show expected practice effects."
"The results do not imply that it is safe to drive under the influence of marijuana, especially because we know people aren't just smoking marijuana," Anderson said. "They do it while drinking. They do this when others are in the car, listening to music, talking on cellphones or texting. These behaviors distract drivers and are even more dangerous when someone has been using marijuana."
Anderson said the study showed that the effects of marijuana on driving need to be studied further.
"We need to know what marijuana does to the brain. We need to understand the ramifications. To create public policy and to keep people safe, you need to know what's really happening in the brain," Anderson said. "You have to have the facts."
A 2004 fact sheet published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that marijuana has been shown to adversely affect driving.
"Decreased car handling performance, increased reaction times, impaired time and distance estimation, inability to maintain headway, lateral travel, subjective sleepiness, motor incoordination, and impaired sustained vigilance have all been reported," the fact sheet states.
"Some drivers may actually be able to improve performance for brief periods by overcompensating for self-perceived impairment. The greater the demands placed on the driver, however, the more critical the likely impairment."
Marijuana use had little effect on simulated driving skills, according to a Hartford Hospital study, but test subjects were more easily distracted when under the influence of the drug.

A huge asteroid about the size of an aircraft carrier will zoom past our planet next week, coming between Earth and the orbit of the moon when it flies by on Tuesday.
The space rock, called asteroid 2005 YU55, poses no threat to Earth but will be observed by excited astronomers around the world. It's about 1,300 feet (400 meters) wide, round and blacker than coal, NASA scientists said.
At its closest point, asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass Earth at a range of about 201,700 miles (324,600 kilometers) on Tuesday at 6:28 p.m. ET. The average distance between the moon and Earth is about 238,854 miles (384,399 kilometers).

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.

"This is particularly exciting, since it is the first time since 1976 that an object of this size has passed this closely to the Earth," Scott Fisher, a program director of the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, said during an NSF webchat organized Thursday by ScienceNow. "It gives us a great (and rare!) chance to study a near-Earth object like this. In fact, we have several telescopes set up and ready to observe this event already."
Those telescopes include the giant Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico and several NASA Deep Space Network instruments.
Astronomers plan to use the telescopes to snap radar images of asteroid 2005 YU55 similar to one taken by the Arecibo observatory in April 2010, when the space rock flew within 1.5 million miles (2.4 million kilometers) of Earth. Tuesday's flyby, however, is much closer and should allow astronomers to snap more detailed images of the asteroid.
Observatories in Hawaii will also attempt to take spectroscopic measurements of the asteroid to analyze its composition, researchers said.
As its name suggests, asteroid 2005 YU55 was discovered in 2005 and orbits the sun in an elliptical path that extends from inside the orbit of Venus to just outside the orbit of Mars, scientists said. The asteroid completes one trip around the sun every 15 months.
One observatory that will not be watching the asteroid is NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, but only because of the asteroid's speed.
"Thousands of amateur and professional astronomers will observe this object near its closest approach to Earth. However, it is moving too fast on the sky for Hubble to observe it," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
The asteroid will pose a challenge for amateur astronomers because it will be faint and fast-moving. A small telescope with a mirror no smaller than 6 inches (15 centimeters) is required to spot it, NASA officials said.
The asteroid's coordinates for any given time are available at the JPL Solar Systems Dynamics website.
No chance of hitting Earth
Yeomans, Fisher and other astronomers have stressed that the public should not be concerned about asteroid 2005 YU55 impacting Earth or causing any kind of gravitational effects on our planet during the flyby. The space rock is much too small to influence life on Earth from its position in space and its chances of actually hitting the planet are nil.
"There is no reason to worry about YU55 getting caught up in the gravity of the earth," Fisher said. "Through our observations of the object, we know that there is no chance of it impacting either the earth or the moon for at least the next 100 years."
Check JPL's website for an animated chart of the asteroid's path past Earth.

Ihuoma Eneli, MD, MS, medical director for the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children's Hospital, was recently named as a member of the Institute for Healthy Childhood Weight Steering Committee by the American Academy of Pediatrics. She will serve on the committee for at least two years.
Dr. Eneli's research, clinical work and collaboration at the local, regional and state levels, in addition to the programs she has initiated at Nationwide Children's, made her the ideal candidate for the steering committee.
"I am honored to serve the Institute for Healthy Childhood Weight and look forward to the ways we can continue to help translate pediatric obesity prevention, assessment, management and treatment to affect positive policy and research from theory into practice," said Dr. Eneli. "I'm excited to join my colleagues from the American Academy of Pediatrics in this initiative to help children and families lead healthier lives."
The Institute for Healthy Childhood Weight is dedicated to addressing obesity prevention, assessment and treatment at the point of care, in communities and with families. In her role, Dr. Eneli will be crucial in helping to translate the strategic priorities of the institute into fruition through programs and initiatives to help pediatricians and patients.
As medical director at the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children's, she oversees the assessment clinics and medical weight management programs. Dr. Eneli also serves as an associate professor of clinical pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Her clinical interest and research focus is medical interventions for overweight children, particularly from the health care providers' perspective.
About Nationwide Children's Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition
The Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children's Hospital is engaged in wide-ranging childhood obesity initiatives including participation in the national Children's Hospital Association obesity focus group, the Ohio Healthy Weight Outcomes Coalition and the "Collaborate for Healthy Weight" nationwide initiative led by the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The Center offers a comprehensive approach to weight management with programs for prevention and treatment of overweight children, ranging from community-based intervention and physician private practices to intensive multidisciplinary lifestyle programs, medical assessment clinics and bariatric surgery. In addition, Nationwide Children's has collaborated with Columbus Public Health on an "ACHIEVE" grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to enhance local communities' abilities to develop and implement policy, systems and environment change strategies to prevent or manage health-risk factors focusing on pregnancy through birth to five years. The hospital was also one of the first businesses in the state to be awarded the Healthy Ohio Breastfeeding Friendly Employer Award by the Ohio Department of Health.
NOTE TO THE EDITOR: Dr. Eneli resides in Dublin, Ohio (43017).

D-cycloserine in the Management of Chronic Low Back Pain

|Condition or disease
|Low Back Pain Pain
|Drug: D-cycloserine Drug: placebo
|Phase 2
Human brain imaging studies indicate that the medial prefrontal cortex activity can predict more than 80% of the variance of chronic back pain intensity. Therefore, the investigators have hypothesized that modulation of brain activity at this site should result in analgesia. D-cycloserine has been shown to potentiate conditioned fear extinction. Based on this the investigators hypothesize that chronic neuropathic pain (back pain with radiculopathy) is partially mediated or potentiated by decreased ability to extinguish the pain memory, which the investigators hypothesize to be mediated through reward/aversion brain circuitry, and specifically through medial prefrontal cortex. They have tested this idea in pre-clinical studies and demonstrated that rats with neuropathic pain show analgesia over the long-term when treated with D-cycloserine. In humans with chronic back pain, the investigators hypothesize that D-cycloserine will enhance extinction of back pain which in turn should result in reduced emotional relevance of the pain, that is reduced suffering. It is quite possible that the overall intensity of the back pain will be unaffected, however, the associated suffering will be significantly attenuated.
This will be a double-blind, randomized, parallel group escalating dose study comparing D-cycloserine twice a day (bid) with placebo bid in patients with chronic low back pain. Subjects meeting inclusion criteria will continue baseline medications and be treated for 12 weeks with study drug: 50 mg bid DCS or matching placebo for the first 4 weeks, then 100mg bid DCS or matching placebo for 4 weeks and finally 200mg bid DCS or matching placebo for 4 weeks. Assessments of efficacy and safety will be undertaken every 2 weeks using standard, validated instruments to evaluate change in pain, function, quality of life and adverse events.

- Change in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Change in NRS score after 6 weeks of treatment as compared to baseline. The numeric rating scale is an 11-point rating scale wherein participants rated their current lower back pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning no pain and 10 being the worst pain possible. Thus, a larger negative number indicates positive change and a higher efficacy.
- McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]Change in MPQ score after 6 weeks of treatment as compared to baseline. The MPQ score uses a Pain Rating Index from 0 to 20 where 0 is evidence of no pain and 20 indicates the highest pain possible. A lower score is also indicative of a lower quality of pain. Thus, a larger negative number indicates positive change and therefore higher efficacy.

I was originally going to make this a tablescraps competition, but I decided to opt instead for more of an "anything goes" style. That means that you guys only have two rules to follow, but follow them carefully.
- 6. New. The microspace entry must have been made for this competition; no posting old stuff or revamping old MOCs to fit rule #2.
7. Within Size Limit. The microspace entry must be between 2in. and 8in. in length; between 1in. and 8in. for width and height. Please list the dimensions of your ship when you make your entry post.
- 6. Give your ship some character. While just posting a few images of your MOC and calling it a day is perfectly acceptable, it can never hurt to go the extra mile and create some fluff, even if that fluff is just the ship's name and a brief description of her crew. Along that same vein, don't post a novel either. Keep it relatively short and sweet; I'd say don't write more than a few paragraphs if you do this.
7. Be creative! If you have a completely wacky idea, go out on a limb and try it. Creative part usages, clever design, or subtle detailing are all welcome additions and really help flesh out a ship.
8. Fill out the ship. It's usually not a great idea to leave huge swaths of your ship open and without detail, unless the flat space has something interesting to it (large open curves, for example, don't need detail due to their interesting shape). Decals or stickers are perfectly acceptable, if you've got nothing else up your sleeve!
The competition will be judged by the forums themselves. As soon as we hit the last day for entries, I'll post a new thread for voting with an attached poll and a list of the entries, their owners, and the entries' details. Any ties that are in place by the end of the voting week will be decided by the tie-breaker panel, consisting of theblackdog, 501stCadians, and I.
All entries must be posted in this thread by 10/10/2011 !
Don't forget your guidelines! Good luck, builders!

Embarcadero has announced that more than 10,000 components and tools now support its RAD Studio application development suite.
The firm is aiming to produce a combined offering of its own multiple platform technologies (spanning Windows, Mac, mobile, and cloud) with partner intelligence to provide both integrated and standalone developer tools, visual and non-visual components, libraries, source code, books, videos, database drivers, multi-tier architectures, reporting, and PDF components and generators.
A Developer Force Multiplier
The new RAD Studio XE3 (including Delphi XE3, C++Builder XE3, Embarcadero Prism, and HTML5 Builder) acts as what the company has billed as a "developer force multiplier", to ease the shift to Windows 8 as well as Mac code generation and multi-platform mobile development with HTML5.
"A vibrant technology partner ecosystem helps our customers be more successful," said Michael Swindell, Embarcadero senior vice president of marketing and product management. "This is especially important as developers face the growing challenge of multi-platform support."
NOTE: Three application development expert authors (Marco Cantu, Bob Swart, and Cary Jensen) are writing books that will provide instruction and deeper understanding of languages and developing solutions using RAD Studio XE3, including Delphi and C++Builder.

Japan's capital is a place of unfathomable size, endless variety and constant movement, but just below the surface of this futuristic megalopolis is a surprising and delightful sense of calm
Author Robert Michael Poole Photography Marie Takahashi
DAY ONE The popular impression of Tokyo is one of congestion and chaos, a moil of humanity and neon-topped towers. So you get a bit of a shock when you open the curtains of your hotel room. You're staying in the Imperial Hotel's Frank Lloyd Wright Suite—the famed architect designed an earlier incarnation of the hotel—and your window looks out over a city that is surprisingly green.
After a breakfast of citron scallops and miso soup at the hotel's Imperial Viking Sal restaurant, you stroll along an old moat toward the Imperial Palace's East Garden. Enchanted, you lose yourself in the botanical artistry—preened thickets, primped waterways—while being occasionally jolted from your reverie by the apologetic cries ("Sumimasen!") of passing joggers.
Having left the gardens via the picturesque wooden Hirakawa Gate, you descend into the Tokyo Metro at Takebashi Station, where a technicolor chart points you in a million directions. Guided more by faith than logic, you ride to the Ueno stop, where—hurrah!—you find the Tokyo National Museum. Inside, you walk deeper and deeper into an apparently endless array of cultural artifacts: chintz carpets, gold statues, decorative and unusually lethal-looking swords. You linger at the swords.
Another uncertainly plotted subway trip takes you to Tameike-Sanno Station, in the Chiyoda district, where you're hoping to stumble across Shunju, a sparsely elegant 27th-floor eatery favored by local housewives and white-collar workers. You're in luck, and soon you're sitting down to a lunch of perfectly tender charbroiled beef, homemade tofu and sashimi straight from the port, as the delectable smell of miso drifts from the open kitchen.
Gaining confidence, you ride the metro to nearby Ginza, an upscale shopping area where real estate can sell for more than $23,000 per square foot—which gives you an idea of the sticker prices you'll be looking at. Even with stratospheric luxury at every turn, however, one retailer stands out: pearl specialist Mikimoto, housed in a tall, shimmering building with windows like scattered gems.
You may not be unspeakably rich, but a person can dream. So you cab it to the Palace Hotel, whose swanky Evian Spa offers a special anti-jet lag treatment. An hour later, having been scrubbed, heated and prodded into a state of extreme well-being, you head up to the sixth-floor eatery Wadakura Go, where you settle in at the counter and start work on a 10-course teppanyaki-style dinner. The meal culminates in a juicy sirloin sashimi with wasabi sauce—a fiery finale that calls for, you decide, the dousing qualities of a nightcap.
Fortunately, back at the Imperial Hotel, the low-lit, smoke-varnished Old Imperial Bar serves very good cocktails. Its gin-based "Mount Fuji" is so good, in fact, that you order another, which will have you performing a solitary, impromptu karaoke number when you make your way back to your room for the night.

This is one I had heard about some time ago from a former Terrier who had heard from a friend that we may or should have some interest in him. Another FB with impressive stats/resume from Watauga High in Boone. I hesitate to post what is being said about him because of the obvious comparisons and perhaps unfair expectations that come with all that, but it has been said that he is "Breitenstein 2.0."
FB Evan Suggs will be on campus this weekend. 6'0" 210. I can't find much more of his profile other than huge game stats in yards gained and TDs. He was named all conference and conference Defensive POY (so I suppose we could recruiting him as SS/OLB although I don't think so). From his highlights, he looks a tad taller and lighter than #7 did coming out of high school. But looks like a classic TO fullback more along the lines of Cid's Tyler Renew than EB or even LoLo. Needless to say, to be even mentioned in the same sentence as EB is enough for me because there won't be another EB in my book.

Good vision, nice feet in the hole, good balance and while not a burner, fast enough. Hope we get him.
