(CNN) — Carol Mackoff and her family were rescued Friday morning after being trapped in their rooms in the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai for more than 48 hours.

A text message from CNN correspondent Sara Sidner to Mackoff, who was in contact with CNN during the attack.

"They informed us the final assault was beginning and we got a call from the colonel of the [Indian] army, and he said we will give you a password and if we come to the door and give it to you, come quietly with us," Mackoff said. "That’s exactly what happened."

Upon arrival, the Indian army rescued six people at a time, Mackoff said.

"It was only what we could carry," she said. "They took Generico Viagra us down a back service stairway that was very quiet. We were tiptoeing through glass and blood and discarded shoes from people who it appeared had recently died."

Mackoff, her husband, sister and friend were on a three-week trip to India.

"In the beginning, we heard shots and we didn’t know what was happening," she told CNN by phone. "We saw men running down our hallway and we could see through the peephole in the door — we could see guns in their hands."

Mackoff said they received a call from hotel staffers telling them to stay away from the door and lock it. For 20 hours they sat in the dark. At one point they taped the peephole so mejores erecciones nobody could see in.

The Chicago, Illinois, resident said the attackers rang their doorbell twice, but she and her family didn’t answer.

"We locked every possible lock on the door and put heavy suitcases against it," she said. "When the explosions started and smoke filled the hallways we put towels at the bottom of the door."

She said she was told that attackers opened doors across the hallway and had thrown grenades inside.

"All we were thinking was ‘Please don’t try and blow this door open,’" Mackoff said.

Mackoff said because of the hotel wing’s large atrium, which reaches from the bottom floor to the top floor, the sounds of gunshots and explosions echoed and reverberated throughout the two days.

She said looking through the peephole she could see that most of the attackers were carrying backpacks.

"They were young and they all seemed to have the same kind of jackets and red and blue backpacks, that we were told officials believed were stuffed with grenades or some sort of explosives," she told CNN.

"We were able to see the barrel of their gun and at one point one of them had a cell phone and was conversing or coordinating with someone

BigRedKitty: It’s Thanksgiving, so we’re stirring the pot

Thanksgiving football schedule

Filed under: Dwarves, Humor, (Hunter) Big Red Kitty

daniel howell contributes bigredkitty, a column with strategies, tips and tricks repayment for and about the huntress class, sprinkled with a hale and hearty quantity of quite improper, occasionally libelous, personal commentary.

If we were to ever re-roll Horde, we’d be a female Troll hunter. Yes, the Trolls got their kiesters kicked by rampaging murlocs — murlocs! — but the ladies can be hunters, and have just enough ‘oomph’ in both looks and performance to make them our first choice should the Alliance ever be eliminated. What about our other options?

Orcs are just too steel-plate-in-the-skull dumb for our liking. Nobody does nude better than Orcs, but who hunts in the buff?

…

Wait, these are Orcs we’re talking about… OK, who seriously hunts in the buff?

Taurens should either be warriors or druids, period, not hunters. Tauren warriors rock our socks, but Tauren hunters? Excluding Rhino-pets, the size difference between a Tauren and his pet is just silly. If you’re a Tauren hunter and don’t have a Rhino, you’re not bringing it like you should. A Survivalist Tauren hunter is about as wrong an idea as there can possibly be. Survivalist? How are you going to ’survive’ when every member of the Alliance has targeted you, just because you take up one quarter of their screen!

Nobody likes Blood Elves, not even other Horde. Are we right? Of course we are.

And the Forsaken can’t even be hunters; they deserve our pity more than anything else.

But we’re not going to re-roll, for we are a member of the best race in the game. The race that Warcraft made its cover picture, the race that introduced WoW to millions, the race that oozes — both literally and figuratively — charisma, competence, and warm ale: The Dwarves.

Robert Reed: Surprise! This Bank Refuses Fed Bailout

The way major financial institutions are feasting on taxpayer-backed bailouts, you’d think every bank in this country has on the feed bag.

Not true.

Just north of Chicago, dwelling in the People’s Republic of Evanston, is First Bank & Trust — a 13-year-old community lender that doesn’t want any part of the U.S. government’s $700 billion bank bailout or, for that matter, any subsequent rescue plans. You see, First Bank & Trust won’t do business that way. Says Robert R. Yohanan, CEO and one of the bank’s founders: “We don’t need the money. More important, we don’t want the government as a partner.”

That refreshing approach makes First Bank & Trust a rarity in these dismal economic days. First, it’s a healthy institution that hasn’t forsaken one of the main skills of successful banking: managing risk. For example a few years ago, First Bank & Trust shrewdly determined the home mortgage market was spinning out of control and greatly limited making real estate investments thus avoiding big trouble.Secondly, this bank isn’t looking to game the system by profiting from the government-backed bailout.

Believe me, one of the yet untold stories of this massive taxpayer-funded rescue is how many healthy lenders are grabbing for the government gold because it’s a source of cheap and ready capital. Recently, one bank industry analyst told me that viable banks are under pressure from theirinstitutional shareholders to take advantage of the bailout funding even if the lender doesn’t need the cash cushion.First Bank & Trust’s management has a different approach. It would rather fund bank operations through traditional means, like customer deposits, while also making a profit on sound loans. Moreover, it cringes at the prospect of selling even a slice of itself to the government, which usually gets preferred stock from any lender participating in the bailout.

“Who knows what is to come? They seem to be writing laws as they go along.” says CEO Yohanan, whom I spoke to while researching a story for Chicago magazine.

First Bank & Trust hasn’t made a big deal out of the decision to go it alone. For the most part, the bank’s marketing initiatives travel more along the lines of neighborhood pumpkin carving contests. And to the best of my knowledge, the only mention of its bailout stance was made in a letter to the editor printed in a free local newspaper, which is where I learned of the “No Bailout Here” decision.

Yes, some critics will claim that First Bank & Trust shouldn’t be held up as some shining example of restraint and fair play. They’ll note this is a very small, conservative bank that caters to a niche of area business owners or operators and is surrounded by a fairly affluent depositor base. In addition, it doesn’t provide the sweep of services and loans like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America or other mega-banks and doesn’t bear their heavy community reinvestment burdens.

Mininova problems

All that may be true. Still, I feel better knowing there’s at least one bank out there not looking to score a free lunch.

Clintons Decline Obama Secretary Position

Washington, DC — Senator Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, on Friday rejected President-Elect Barack Obama’s offer to join his nascent administration.

A source close to the Clintons but not in a creepy way said the Senator and Ex-President were “disappointed” and “a little sick” to discover Mr. Obama had asked Ms. Clinton to be his secretary.

According to the source, who requested anonymity due to the insensitive nature of the information, the Clinton’s highly touted “buy one, get two” appeal was limited to Ms. Clinton transcribing briefing notes in the Oval Office and Mr. Clinton making photocopies downstairs.

The Clintons read a short statement during a brief news conference in the nation’s capital, for the most part finishing each other’s sentences.

Bittorents

“We respect and admire the President-Elect and wish him well,” they said, “but we are unable to serve as part of his team at this time.”

“The truth is,” the Clintons continued, “we’ve got big plans — like expanding our legacy and doing a lot of fundraising — and a new job would have to be snazzy enough to make us want to set aside our dreams.”

Despite the Clintons’ candor, Mr. Obama’s transition team staff sought to downplay the story.

“Bill Clinton back in the White House?” said a senior advisor. “That would be like setting a fox loose in a chicken coop that’s stocked with chicken jerky and Purina Fox Chow.”

(Tribune Media Services) — I wasn’t sure my sister would ever forgive me that Thanksgiving.

Geneva Pous holds her doll and her mother’s hand, waiting to travel by herself to Austin, Texas.

We’d inadvertently left my son’s medicine on the bathroom counter where his younger cousin got into it and drank whatever didn’t spill on his shirt. My sister and brother-in-law spent much of that night in the ER with their toddler. (Memo to grandmas: Keep all those pill bottles out of reach.)

Another Thanksgiving weekend, we got back to Chicago, Illinois, with our crew after visiting the relatives to discover that the battery to our minivan was dead — in the airport parking lot. We waited a long time that cold night for AAA.

Isn’t holiday travel with the kids fun?

At least gas prices have come down, though AAA just announced the first drop in Thanksgiving travel since 2002. They estimate that 41 million Americans will travel Thanksgiving weekend, most by car but nearly 4.5 million by plane.

That’s a modest 1.4 percent decline over last year. AAA experts point to the weak economy as the reason 600,000 fewer will be hitting the road. iReport.com: Economic woes affecting your travel plans?

And the bad news continues for those who are flying, including those who are flying with infants for the first time. Kayak.com reports that holiday-related travel costs are up 25 percent as a result of the capacity cuts, 9 percent just in the United States, not to mention the fuel surcharges.

Don’t Miss

We’re paying for everything from checked bags to onboard snacks. (Pack your own goodies, along with an empty reusable water bottle or sippy cup you can fill once you are through security. Nalgene makes BPA-free, kid-sized water bottles.)

Still, you might be able to snag a decent fare for the holidays, if you are flexible about your travel dates. (Can you travel Thanksgiving morning? Christmas Day? Compare fares here.) Take the train. Amtrak lets kids, between the ages of 2 and 15) ride for half price with each paying adult on most routes, and the kids will think it’s an adventure. And you won’t be charged for a suitcase either.

However you are traveling, allow lots of extra time. If you are stressed about missing your flight or train or arriving late for holiday dinner, the kids will get upset too. Check in for flights online and check Delaycast to see if your flight is on time. (Good news! To ease air traffic congestion, the government is adding express lanes to airspace, which should help.)

And book airport parking ahead at Aboutairportparking. Both are listed among Travel and Leisure’s top online travel resources.

Uae flag

If you are just going for the long holiday weekend, consider traveling with carry-on bags. Even a 5-year-old can wheel his own through the airport. Remember, on most airlines, you will pay $15 per checked bag, more for a second bag, plus there is the real possibility your luggage will get lost. The Department of Transportation reports that more than 9,000 checked bags are misdirected every day.

If your child is flying solo, make sure you have the names, phone numbers and addresses for those picking up your child at the other end. You’ll need to give that to the airline. Also, give your child a card with that information and make sure they know how to reach you.

Ask for a gate pass so that you can wait with your child at the gate. Don

Should Cowboys rely on Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones?

Nobody questions whether Adam “Pacman” Jones has the talent to help the Cowboys win. Statistically speaking, he’s been their most effective cornerback this season.

That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wise to rely on Pacman now that he’s reinstated. Based on his track record, odds are he’ll find trouble again. Should the Cowboys coaches cross their fingers and hope that Pacman can make it through this season?

Terence Newman’s return to Pro Bowl form eased concerns about depth at cornerback viagra bestellen. Fifth-round pick Orlando Scandrick has been outstanding as a slot corner in substitution packages. First-rounder Mike Jenkins might have some contact issues, but he’s progressed nicely in coverage. Veteran Anthony Henry has been below average this season.

You could make the case that Pacman ought to start opposite Newman. You could also make the case that he ought to be relegated to being a return specialist instead of giving him reps that impede the progress of the rookie corners.

Jerry Jones has eliminated any doubt about whether he believes Pacman is worth the risk. It’ll be up to Wade Phillips and Co. to determine how big a risk they’ll take by deciding how big a role to give No. 21 with the season on the line.
