- In love with that placeMiraVIPDined on 9/26/2014If you ever get a chance to visit this amazing dining place in Palm Springs, you will never regret a penny spent. Best food, well prepared,amazing unique flavors. Absolutely yes if you want to enjoy every piece on a plate :) So glad to choose that restaurant out of all on open table.Special Features:
- JohannesCysto2KnoxDined on 9/23/2014I love this restaurant! The food is always fresh, innovative, and delicious. I had a shaved Brussel sprout salad with a simple lemon and olive oil vinegrette. The seared scallops were divine! I always try to dine here while in Palm Springs.Special Features:
- You can't improve on PERFECTRanger937VIPDined on 9/12/2014Johannes is always "spot on". Everything was wonderful - food, service, & ambience. They are known for their schnitzels and I order the same thing every time and they are consistently good. I always get Jaeger Schnitzel. Delicious! It's my favorite place to dine in town.Special Features:
- Great flavorsLeslieVIPDined on 9/11/2014Food is really top notch. The curry meatball app was scrumptious. The cold Dungeness crab soup I was told was excellent as was the beet salad. The schnitzel was tasty. Fresh fluke on steamed spinach with shrimp sauce fabulous. Wait person was attentive. Will try their happy hour too. Was quite well attended so must be good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible service and mediocre foodSocal099Dined on 9/11/2014This place was overpriced with horrible service! The older waitress with the short hair was rude and never came to check on us. She went to every other table but ours and we could never get her attention. Food was not worth the money. HORRIBLE experience!
- Superb!DougDined on 9/11/2014Fabulous food and presentation. I was blown away - quite unexpected!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful as AlwaysRandJinPSCAVIPDined on 9/4/2014Partner and I have been coming to Johannes ever since moving to PS eight years ago, and it's always been our favorite restaurant -- pleasant, modern dining room; engaging wait staff; and some of the best cuisine in the valley. On this occasion each of us opted for appetizer "specials" -- perfectly roasted peach slices wrapped in prosciutto with shaved parmesan and dressed arugula for me and a scrumptious cold potato and leek soup for my partner. For our main courses, partner opted for the Ahi Tuna from the regular menu while I selected the evening's meat special Veal Cordon Bleu. Again, both entrees were superbly prepared and presented. Johannes never fails us, and we look forward to returning soon.Special Features:
- Large portions of heaven on a platekeckerooDined on 9/3/2014This place was a very good find. German/Austrian inspired food that was better than mamma ever could cook. The schnitzel was huge - more than enough for even two people to share. Doggie bags were a necessity (and made for a great lunch the next day). Definitely a place to visit again and again.Special Features:
- Always a great dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014I've been eating at Johannes since they opened many years ago. The quality of the food is always outstanding and unique. Sevice is also very reliable with well-trained wait staff. There are several other outstanding restaurants in town, but Johannes never disappoints.Special Features:
- emcampasDined on 8/23/2014I had the grilled peach salad and schnitzel and cleaned my plate-----unusual for me. It was too good-had no room for dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Favorite find!MikeWeHoDined on 8/16/2014From appetizer to dessert, Johannes delivers. Food arrives perfectly cooked and each bite brings happiness to my face. We eat here on each Palm Springs visit.Special Features:
- Always excellentRickyBVIPDined on 8/16/2014Expensive, but worth it. The food is always perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. They never disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/15/2014My mother always said if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all. But lousy service, noisy, salty food.Special Features:
- Poor experienceCsokamDined on 8/8/2014My gf and I waited at the bar for a table, enjoyed a couple drinks and were excited to have dinner. But then our server showed up. Didn't greet the table like you would expect at this restaurant, forgetting to offer the specials. When we asked about the specials she got them wrong. Multiple points of service missed. Was given no spoon with my seafood soup, which was a huge mistake given the broth was the only good part of the dish. Fish, lobster, shrimp and mussels all overdone like they'd been boiling in the broth since noon. We were never offered drinks by our server or given water. Loss of sales as we would have probably had 3 or 4 each. Dishes not cleared in a timely fashion, silverware not marked, etc. etc. Will never go back.
- Always a pleasureDaveyDined on 8/5/2014I was living in Palm Springs when Johannes first opened. It was excellent then and only continues to improve. Now that I live in Los Angeles, I know how lucky I was to have such a fine restaurant in a relatively small town. I always make it a point to come here when I visit Palm SpringsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Welcoming and great foodPSfoodieDined on 8/5/2014Local or not this is a great spot for good food, imaginative menu items and great staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/29/2014We have been hearing about Johannes for a long time, but had not tried it because we are not big fans of German food. Definitely, we should have tried it sooner. It has a good variety of non German dishes which were scrumptious. We loved the wild mushroom soup and the Halibut special was just that. Servoce was excellent and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend it to our picky friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GOOD FOOD, SERVICE NOT SO MUCH1KTravelerVIPDined on 7/25/2014We dined with a group of eight and the food was good, but not exceptional. Service was erratic and one of the diners was left waiting because the kitchen dropped the order. I do appreciate the restaurant not charging us for that dinner. I love dining at Johannes and have generally had good experiences there. Unfortunately, they missed the mark on this occasion.
- EXCELLENT!frequentfoodieDined on 7/24/2014I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Great wine list and service was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- JUST LOVELY...RodsterDined on 7/24/2014We had ANOTHER FABULOUS meal there for Frank's b-day.......everything is always PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Special Features:

Good Dessert, sorbets and ice cream that are home made.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service et bouffe parfait !!!StefanDined on 7/15/2014Très belle table et service impeccable !! Nourriture exquise et choix de vins parfait ! D'après-moi, le meilleur restaurant de Palm Springs présentement ! Décor sobre et très joli !Special Features:
- Johannes RocksOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/15/2014I took my girlfriend to Johannes...she is personal chef and has a very discerning palette...she called it her "best meal ever" and I would have to agree. We shared the duck and the scallops off the menu and both were superb! All in all, a great dining experience.Special Features:
- Great Palm Springs findPhilandHeatherVIPDined on 7/13/2014We have been meaning to try Johannes and we finally managed to visit this weekend. Located just off the main thoroughfare in Palm Springs made parking pretty easy. An unassuming exterior gives way to a modern, spacious restaurant. We were seated quickly, tables were large and not too close together. We ordered their version of mac and cheese and a brussels sprouts salad to start and I had the classic schnitzel and my wife ordered the spiced Ah Tuna. Overall the food was excellent although the salad and Tuna had waaaay too much salt - why do they do that? Service was pleasant but a little slow. Will definitely be back for more of the delicious Schnitzel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not my cup of tea.loydmanVIPDined on 7/13/2014Not what I'm looking for in fine dining. Service was excellent but the food style wasn't me. I'm sure if you like that type of food it is great. Not quiet enough, more like a Bistro.
- DeanoDined on 7/10/2014We tried the new Summer Menu & were pleased with the Classic Schnitzel, along with soup & salad appetizers. The Dining Room has a nice, open feel with large windows opening on the Street Corner, with light & crisp modern design elements. Our only suggestions pertain to food & service. The waitress did not fully explain the $29.95 two course special, and it was not clear what "beverages" were included in the price. We felt rushed to order and wound up ordering from the menu, so the overall cost was probably 25 -30% higher than we had planned. The food was generally delightful, but the schnitzel coating was overcooked & not the golden brown crust normally served, thus overall very good, but not exceptional.Special Features:
- GourmetFresserDined on 7/5/2014For my wife and I who have eaten at the finest and worst restaurants all over the world; Johannes. is unquestionably the best restaurant in Palm Springs. It is also neck and neck with any great restaurants in Los Angeles as well !!!Special Features:
- Small with great foodrealfussyfolksVIPDined on 6/28/2014Our party of four enjoyed four different entrees. One of the specials was a combo with a crispy duck breast with lamb chops. Could not have been better. When you go, ask for Barry the waitress. She can take orders from four people who ask for small changes and not write a word down. And our four came perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- revisit after 11 yearssteve3410Dined on 6/27/2014overall...had a great meal...would return again....very skimpy wine portions. Food was great...cement floor.....noisy. meatball starter was terrific. Only neg. was our server got both our main course orders wrong. They were still good...scallops & pork cutlet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Special PlaceSterlingDined on 6/27/2014I have been coming to eat here since it opened and have always enjoy my meal. The food is always good, fresh and tasty. I am never disappointed with the food and the service was great. In the past I have not always liked the service but this time it was excellent. It was a romantic dinner and special occasion and I was very happy with the entire evening. I always recommend Johannes to my friends and clients.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and ServiceJeffDined on 6/22/2014We had at least 4 people Recomended this restaurant to us and while here on holiday, we had to give it a try. We are going back before we leave.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Repeat customermlmnDined on 6/21/2014As a resident of Palm Springs, I know that Johannes is one of my top picks for dining. The chicken (please, no veal) schnitzel is excellent as are most choices, I had a tilapia on spinach special that was delicious....my only suggestion to diners is that they request the bar dining or the front dining room, there is now a rear dining room that is not special and feels claustrophobic to me( no windows). I am always very happy to eat at Johannes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding, as alwaysMickMattDined on 6/17/2014I can't believe, in Palm Springs, that they have on of the best Ahi tartar's I have ever had, but they do. The wine list is fine, the cocktails a little better, but they really shine in the appetizers. From cold soups to escargot to the aforementioned Ahi, it really is a treat. The dinner menu is filled with quality ingredients, and in portion sizes that are shockingly generous. The wait staff is knowledgable and cordial, and the overall experience is quite nice. If you are hungry, you must have one of the schnitzel options, it is perfectly fried and tender, and comes with a delicious cucumber salad to cut the fattiness of the fried meat perfectly. I love this restaurant.Special Features:
- Pleasant DiningJeffHDined on 6/12/2014The menu offering at Johannes is varied and unique, offering more than just a standard meal. They offer fresh local ingredients excellently prepared in clever flavor pairings. They also offer vegetarian and vegan flavors and offer free range/organic options. The wait staff is attentive and friendly and help to make the experience very pleasant.I would recommend this to a friend.
- fabulous mealYum2EatDined on 6/8/2014Love eating at Johannes. The pork chop was so most delicious & flavorful. Presentation of the meal was beautiful.Special Features:
- Always a Fantastic MealbeareVIPDined on 6/7/2014Probably the most popular dish is the Schnitzel, which is about the best I've ever had, but I urge those who have tried the schnitzel to venture out and try any of their other dishes; you won't be disappointed. This visit, for Restaurant Week, I had the herb encrusted, blue cheese topped beef tenderloin which made me hum throughout the entire meal. My guest had the duck breast which was equally scrumptious. From appetizers to entree to dessert, Johannes proves to be one of the best chefs in Palm Springs. You won't be disappointed in whatever you try.Special Features:
- Great dining in downtown PSwwdinerDined on 6/6/2014Original recipes, well prepared and served. Johannes puts their own delicious twist on classic dishes (I had their signature Wiener Schnitzel) setting themselves up a notch above their competition. The servers were knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and efficient. If you're planning to eat out in Palm Springs, this is a must visit!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Johannes during restaurant week2foodiesDined on 6/6/2014Food was a reasonable value, but the wait staff acted as if they we doing us a favor, and we were lucky to be there. We were rushed, though there was no one waiting for our table.

If we're bringing stuff back from the great beyond, I'd like to put in a vote for the pig-footed bandicoot as well. Mostly just cause it has a cool name. I'd hate to think we were able to do that kind of thing and I forgot to put in a vote.
I love the notion that there are so many bandicoots out there that humanity just wouldn't have been able to get by without differentiating some of them as "pig-footed." Not the regular bandicoots. The pig-footed ones.
Second win of the spring for the Phils yesterday as they topped the Braves 10-5. Ryan Howard doubled home a run in the first and hit his first spring homer in the fifth. His 2-for-3 day ups his spring line to 533/556/933 (8-for-15 with three doubles, a home run and two walks) and he leads the team with five RBI. Howard obviously isn't going to double in 20% of his at-bats in 2013, but he hit 11 doubles for the season in 2012 and his results early in 2013 remind that there was a time when a hot and healthy Howard could put the Phillies on his shoulders and carry the offense himself.
We might have forgotten those days, but if we did it's our own fault. Because they happened and it wasn't that long ago.
From August 22 to the end of the season in 2008, Howard got 151 plate appearances in which he hit 15 home runs, had 27 extra-base hits, 42 RBI and 20 walks, OPSing 1.216 in that stretch. 2009 he OPSed 1.078 over his last 216 plate appearances with 19 home runs. In 2010 the tear came earlier, a 50-game stretch from the start of June to July 27 — 323/387/651 over 217 plate appearances.
Mayberry homered yesterday as well. 1-for-1 with a walk in the game and extra-base hits in two straight games after an ugly start. Utley was 2-for-3 with a double. 3-for-6 so far.
Ben Revere got the job done in the leadoff spot for the second straight day, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two more runs scored. Don't look for him to deliver a walk and an extra-base hit in the same game too often, though. His average is suddenly up to .385 (5-for-13).
Brown 1-for-3 with a single and a walk to drop his average to .417 (5-for-12 with a double, two home runs and three walks).
Inciarte finally made an out. He struck out to start the seventh and is 1-for-2 with three walks so far.
Michael Young had his first hit. He was 1-for-2 with a walk and two RBI, making him 1-for-10 in the early going.
Galvis 2-for-2 but with yet another error. Ruf got a hit but also made another error, his second in limited time in the outfield. He was 2-for-3 with a double and is now a walkless 2-for-12 in official action.
Hamels started the game for the Phils and allowed an unearned run on four hits over three innings while striking out five. He allowed one hit and struck out four through the first two innings. He started the third up 3-1. Ramiro Pena singled with one out, took second when Ruf misplayed the ball for an error and scored on a single by Tyler Pastornicky.
In two starts, Hamels has now allowed one unearned run over five innings, throwing to a 0.00 ERA with a 1.00 ratio and striking out six. He hasn't walked a batter yet.
Mike Adams followed Hamels, making his Phillie debut, and threw a scoreless fourth. He allowed one single and struck out one.
Diekman threw the fifth. He gave up a leadoff walk, but got the next hitter to line into a double-play before Jason Heyward grounded to Utley to set the Braves down.
Second outing for Diekman. This one better than the first, but he still needs to stop walking so many people.
Pettibone followed Diekman and allowed four runs on three hits and a walk over two frames in his first spring outing. He allowed a solo homer in the sixth. In the seventh, the first two Braves reached on a walk and a single before Pastornicky hit a three-run homer.
Ethan followed Pettibone, also making his first appearance, and threw two scoreless innings.
Manuel suggests he wants Mayberry to be more aggressive in this article from the Phillies web site.
Halladay is expected to pitch this afternoon as the Phillies face the Yankees. He allowed a run on one hit, a solo homer, over two innings his first time out.

National Security Advisor Susan Rice on Friday said that President Obama expressed his "disgust" after hearing reports that Jewish residents in eastern Ukraine had been told to register with pro-Russian militia groups.
"The president expressed his disgust quite bluntly," Rice told reporters.
"We all found word of those pamphlets to be utterly sickening," she continued, saying that such actions "have no place in the 21st century."
"We have conveyed that very forcefully to all concerned," added Rice.
Reports on Thursday said that Jewish citizens in the Ukrainian town of Donetsk, where pro-Russian groups have seized control of buildings and territory, had been given leaflets ordering them to register with the leaders of separatist groups. The pro-Russian group identified denied involvement, reports said.
The White House on Friday said they did not know who was responsible for the leaflets.
"I don't think we have specific confirmed information about who produced them," said press secretary Jay Carney. "Their mere presence is highly disturbing."
The Obama administration was quick to condemn the pamphlets, with Secretary of State John Kerry calling them "grotesque."
"This is not just intolerable; it's grotesque, is beyond unacceptable," Kerry told reporters in Geneva, where he attended talks on the Ukrainian crisis.
"Any of the people who engage in these kinds of activities, from whatever party or whatever ideology or whatever place they crawl out of, there is no place for that, and unanimously every party today joined in this condemnation of that kind of behavior," he added.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill also pressed the administration to do more to protect Jewish citizens in Ukraine.
"I urge you to do everything possible to ensure that Jewish and other minority communities throughout the country are protected from any form of prejudice," Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., wrote Thursday in a letter to Kerry.

We can't live without water.
It is our most precious resource.
A severe drought has Alabama, Georgia and Florida battling over how much water can be released from federal reservoirs.
Soon, cities within states may be battling each other.
Droughts inflame the issue, but even with ample rains, water scarcity problems will exist as we continue to grow and expand as a region.
Population trends show growth continuing in the South.
Industrial expansion in Alabama is welcome. With it comes a need for a comprehensive plan for growth that includes water management needs.
A drought management plan will be drawn up between Alabama, Florida and Georgia in the next three months.
Equally important will be working on a long term plan that must include conservation.
Montgomery's managed water resources well.
Alabama has more water flowing through it than many states.
But water is a finite resource and we need to treat it that way.

CruiseCompete, the premier online cruise marketplace since 2003, in response to popular consumer demand is proud to introduce two new USA inland waterways and river cruise lines: American Cruise Lines and American Queen Steamboat Company. One of the many advantages of small ships and river cruises is they can go where big ships can't and that is one reason river cruises are the fastest-growing segment of the cruise market.
American Cruise Lines
American Cruise Lines specializes in a unique style of small ship cruising along the inland waterways and rivers of the United States. Thirteen fascinating itineraries include the Pacific Northwest, Maine, New England Islands, Hudson River, Chesapeake Bay, the Historic South & Golden Isles, Florida, Alaska and the Mississippi River aboard the brand new paddlewheeler Queen of the Mississippi. With no more than 150 guests on board, passengers experience each port of call, up close and personal, all while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow travelers and the exemplary service that is the hallmark of American Cruise Lines.
American Cruise Lines six ships hold from as few as 49 passengers to as many as 150. Destinations include:
American Queen Steamboat Company
There's no more unique way to experience the history, heritage and culture of America's heartland than a voyage aboard a genuine steamboat. Stroll through charming towns and vibrant river cities. Explore historic ports of call like New Orleans, Natchez, Mark Twain's Hannibal, Chattanooga and Pittsburgh, just to name a few. Along the way, you'll learn about the great events and people that have contributed to America's history and culture. With two ships – American Queen hosts 436 passengers and American Empress hosts 223 passengers, destinations include:

LAPORTE, Ind. (AP) – Police in northwestern Indiana say a
16-year-old girl allegedly drove 60 miles to beat up another girl who spread
rumors about her on Facebook.
The alleged 17-year-old victim and her mother told police the other girl
drove from Monticello
to their LaPorte home in a pickup truck early Sunday morning. Police said the Monticello teen knocked
the LaPorte girl down and kicked her when she went outside to meet her.
The girls' mother pulled the teens apart and the Monticello girl left the scene, but police
arrested her when she later drove by the other girl's home again.
The Monticello
girl was held on juvenile charges of battery, curfew violation and resisting
law enforcement. She told LaPorte police that the 17-year-old had started
rumors about her online.

Art on the Beach!
Looks like Rome was built in a day! A sand-castle Colosseum, created by a team led by Marie Lorenz, was one of the entries in the festive artists' sand-castle competition staged by last Friday by the public-art organization Creative Time, in collaboration with Grey Area.
By mid-afternoon, a parade of artists bearing bizarre materials had materialized on Beach 86th Street, intriguing passersby as they began digging holes, building piles, burying their colleagues, and tenderly sculpting the beach's distinctive dusty grains of sand into ambitious, elaborate, and often whimsical concoctions that celebrated this venerable vernacular tradition. I was among the judges who faced the challenge of awarding prizes to the most impressive entries.
We gave top honors to Jen Catron & Paul Outlaw for their Fountain. This castle was a whimsical structure on which the artists' team posed with a neo-vaudeville flourish, spouting Poland Spring water from their mouths in a deadpan manner that recalled everyone's favorite Baroque sculptures (with a sly wink to Bruce Nauman's sly wink to modernism's most famous Fountain, by Duchamp).
Second went to William Lamson for a huge, flawless cone, a kind of grown-up version of those rickety turrets kids make with plastic cups—though the artist noted that his inspiration also came from the elegant post-Minimalist forms of Japanese Mono-ha.
And third went to Jen DeNike for Castles in the Sand, a female form that seems to spring out of a dream (and a Hendrix song) onto the sand, reaching for an elusive structure destined to fall into the sea.
There were a lot of other striking pieces, including Tom Sachs' dig to almost-China and Ricci Albenda's pyramidlike wall with a slight Ozymandias complex.
By now, all of the sculptures have been blown away, trampled by dogs, and reconstituted by seagulls. But I wouldn't be surprised if their influence lingers in the air. Look for their echoes on the shore—and for the next round of entries next year!

History of the Garden
|Quarryhill Botanical Garden History
A fast moving fire swept through the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains of eastern Sonoma County in 1964, burning almost everything to the ground. The following year, knobcone pine seedlings quickly sprouted in the ash-covered, rocky soil and shoots sprang from the remains of the charred madrones. Gradually, much of the range became a dense, almost impenetrable thicket of these pioneer species.
In 1968, Jane Davenport Jansen purchased more than forty acres northeast of Glen Ellen in the Mayacamas foothills, and two years later planted vineyards on the open valley floor. In 1987, she began to create a garden on twenty acres of the rocky, steep hillsides above the vineyards. The remains of several abandoned quarries which had been mined for road base dotted the site, evidenced by piles of rubble and numerous depressions. Some of these filled with water during the heavy winter rains, and a winter stream, winding its way through the rough terrain, eventually gave rise to a group of ponds and waterfalls; it seemed only natural to name the garden Quarryhill.
In the fall of 1987, representatives from Quarryhill went on their first seed collecting expedition to Asia. A nursery was established on site the following year, and by the spring of 1990 young plants were ready for the garden. Planting new seedlings has continued every spring and fall, thanks to seed gathered on more than twenty autumn expeditions to East Asia. Oaks, maples, magnolias, dogwoods, lilies and roses are particularly well-represented in the garden, and increased efforts have been made to focus on rare and endangered species from China and Japan. Today, Quarryhill is home to one of the largest collections of scientifically documented, wild-source Asian plants in North America and Europe, many of which represent ancestors of horticultural favorites found throughout the western world.
Jane worked tirelessly until her death in 2000, personally funding the entire operation and generously supporting fifteen expeditions. Over the years, Quarryhill has grown into a world-renowned botanical institution, providing other botanical gardens, arboreta, researchers, conservationists, students, and the visiting public with living examples of the beautiful and threatened temperate flora of East Asia. The twenty five-acre garden continues to thrive and expand with the help of staff, volunteers and members. Quarryhill celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2012.

Comments about Dazzling Devil Adult Wig:
This was the worst! Looks awesome but everything it came in contact with turned red, couldn't even wear! My face, neck, and hands, turned red after wearing for less than 10 minutes to style! Easily knots. I did not get this wet and I was not sweating either. Did not fit well around hair line above ears. Cut off the horns and had to clip into my real hair for fear of really turning into a red devil, ugh.

Sahara Wind launches Africas first wind-hydrogen storage system
Africa's first renewable wind energy hydrogen storage system was commissioned at
Al Akhawayn University
, one of
Morocco's leading universities
. A wind farm of three wind turbines were connected to an
Alkaline electrolyzer
with storage tanks and a fuel cell to help stabilize and store excess wind energy in the form of gaseous hydrogen. Wind intermittency issues can be resolved in enabling excess production to be used in a variety of ways. These range from powering telecommunications networks to green mobility, water utilities and mine processing industries. Coordinated by Sahara Wind as part of its
regional capacity building program
, this project opens the possibility for the gradual introduction of renewable energy technologies within the region's main industries. In facilitating the deployment of renewable energies on a larger scale, the Sahara Wind Project enables the transition into a safer, more sustainable energy infrastructure on the African continent. The
Sahara Wind Project
aims at delivering over 5 GW of wind generated electricity from the
North Atlantic Trade Winds
to supply North African and Euro-Mediterranean markets via a High Voltage Direct Current transmission line.

World Water Day 2014: Water and Energy
World Water Day 2014
brings its attention to the
Water and Energy
nexus. The 2014 edition demonstrates through case studies that integrated approaches and solutions to water-energy issues can achieve greater economic and social impacts. Crosscutting frameworks bridging public and private sectors in a green economy will lead to greater energy security and sustainable water use. Particular attention will be paid to identifying best practices that can make a water and energy-efficient 'Green Industry' a reality. The
Sahara Wind Project
actively involved
in supporting access to potable water in arid regions using renewable energies. Water treatment technologies can enhance the uptake of intermittent sources of renewable energies such as wind power in weaker grid infrastructures found on most of the African continent. Acting as a stabilizing load in a high wind penetration system, desalination as well as electrolysis generated by-products such as chlorine or hypochlorite are indispensable elements in water treatment solutions for producing clean, drinking water. Within such framework, many synergies can be applied.

Over the past few years, the Dolphins fan-base (me included) have called for the firing off Jeff Ireland. Despite making the playoffs in his first year as the Dolphins GM, he was unable to produce a winning team for the next four seasons, as they Dolphins finished below .500 for four straight years.
Despite struggling for consecutive seasons, Jeff Ireland's job is secure. According to Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald, a league source told them that the Dolphins quietly extended Ireland's contract during the offseason and is not a result of the 3-0 start. Although the details of the contract have not been made public just yet, the new contract guarantees that Ireland will remain with the team throughout the 2014 season. His previous deal expired at the end of this season.
Two years ago, Ireland drafted, Ryan Tannehill who is quickly becoming a star in this league. This past offseason Ireland continued to add weapons to this team by spending over $100 million in guaranteed contracts on players such as Mike Wallace, Philip Wheeler and Dannell Ellerbe. The acquisitions seem to be paying off so far as the Dolphins are not only 3-0 for the first time in over a decade, but they are also in a great position to overtake the New England Patriots as the champions of the AFC East.
Thanks for Reading!

It should have been a wake up call for us. It was not. The arrests were made six days after the bombing. We never fully comprehended the international scope of the problem. Ramsi Youseff was the mastermind. His goal was to topple the south tower into the north tower... and obviously kill thousands of people. He put a 20 foot fuse in the vehicle so he could get over to New Jersey and watch the explosion," said Kelly.
Six people who died in the blast in an underground garage below one of the twin towers. More than 1,000 people were injured.

|SPRING 2014, No. 5
Friday, February 14, 2014
*Note: double-click video to Play/Pause.We drove through the township with a young lady whose family still lives In Khayelitsha. She was one of the few lucky ones who received an education. Every day, she would ride the train for two hours to attend school. She said her father insisted that she be the one to end the cycle of severe poverty for the family. She has completed her education and has now become a devout and passionate advocate for the township. She refuses to live elsewhere; she said she feels it would almost be disloyal to not remain to help.
We continued what seemed to be an endless drive through the densely populated township of shacks. In some areas, one electricity pole acted as a sort of maypole tethered by wires to 10 to 20 shacks. None of the shacks had toilets or running water. One outdoors community faucet would provide whatever fresh water was available for the residents and what we know as temporary port-a-cans were the only toilets available.
Just as most would have given up hope that any solution was possible, we were taken to a large warehouse that had overnight been converted into an exhibition hall of altruistic, enthusiastic "do-gooders" who were in fact making a big difference. One of the groups had organized around soccer and named itself "Grassroots Soccer". The group had strategically organized around the notion that kids would show up for a game of soccer. Once there and after tasting of the fun of a soccer game, they would be taught about safe sex and the dangers of HIV. Both boys and girls then became coaches themselves to bring others to the makeshift soccer fields. It was absolutely magical what one soccer ball in a dusty field with dutiful coaches could do to change the pattern of rape, children having children and exposure to HIV.
Exhibitors at the event were all Ford grantees. Some helping transform shacks made of corrugated tin and scrap lumber into modest brick homes. Another called "Men Care" helping men discover the important role of parenting for both men and women.
Most of the organizers were young women and men who themselves had grown up in the townships. Others were Afrikaners who live in Cape Town and felt a responsibility to help. One of the men I met was from Vermont who had decided to move his wife and two young sons to Cape Town to help out. They had committed to this work for two years; they were on their third year.
When I asked folks how they dealt with what at times felt like an insurmountable set of complex and enormous problems, they each in their own way said, "One child at a time; one house at a time."

Lots of Dodger and Giant fans are all fired up and ready to go to Friday's opening day at Dodger Stadium. After all, it's the beginning at baseball season here with a Dodger team that sounds pretty powerful.
At the same time a new report surfaced from Major League Baseball about the environment at the stadium at the time of the Brian Stowe assault back in 2011. The report suggests "There was a culture of apathy and indifference" among dodger game-day staffers. And, there were other issues questioning whether the stadium had the best security. At Bling Circus, a sports apparel store about 4 miles from Dodger Stadium, some fans said there was some truth from the report from what they say. But, for others, when you have a mix of passion and alcohol, anything can happen.
The Stowe family, which is suing then-owner Frank McCourt, wants to depose the author of that new MLB assessment report. They believe it will help their case.

When Ana Ivanovic won her first career title as a qualifier in Canberra in January, she was tipped by many as a future star of the women's game.
On Saturday, the 17-year-old from Serbia and Montenegro proved she has the nerve for the big stage when she broke French hearts with a 6-4 3-6 6-4 victory over third seed Amelie Mauresmo in the third round of the French Open.
"It was one of the best matches I've played," Ivanovic said. "Maybe not the best but still I'm really happy that I took my opportunities and I look forward to the next matches."
Amelie Mauresmo again cracked under pressure at the French Open when Ana beat her 6-4 3-6 6-4 in a third-round match on Saturday.
Mauresmo, who has never got past the quarter-finals at her home event, started nervously but gave the impression she would recover, fighting back from 3-1 down to take the second set.
The Frenchwoman, who was let down by her usually reliable serve, was broken again in the fourth game of the decisive set.
Ana kept her composure before a partisan crowd until Mauresmo bowed out with a double fault on the first match point.
Ana and Nenad Zimonjic won their first round mixed doubles match against number two seeds Ai Sugiyama (JPN) and Max Mirnyi (BLR) 6-3,3-6,10-8.
Ana entered the mixed doubles draw as well, paired with Nenad Zimonjic. Their first match is later today against number two seeds Ai Sugiyama (JPN)/Max Mirnyi (BLR).
Ana and her partner Tina Krizan lost their first round doubles match today to Stephanie Cohen-Aloro (FRA) and Selima Sfar (TUN), 6-4 6-2.
Ana clinched a place in the third round with a superb 6-3, 6-1 victory over Iveta Benesova of Czech republic.
All she needed was 53 minutes(originally posted by Dasha on www.ana-ivanovic.com)
In the first set Ana had 12 winners (including service), 16 unforced errors and two double faults. Ana made two breaks, and lost one service game.
In the second set, the number off winners and unforced errors was the same - ten. Ana had only one double fault, and three breaks off serve.
Ana made short work of world number 103 Stephanie Foretz as she eased into round two of the French Open in Paris on Tuesday. The French was out of her depth against 29th seed Ana.
Ana will play Iveta Benesova of Chech republic for a place in the last 32.
Ana is 29th seed at this year Roland Garros. Her first round opponent is the local favourite Stephanie Foretz, ranked 108 in world. A year ago Stephanie reached second round by knocking out the 13th seed Natalie Dechy.
Ana is in the bottom half off the draw with 2nd seed Maria Sharapova, 6th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova and 10th Seed Justine Henin-Hardenne. Among others, in the same half Ana might meet for the first time Jelena Jankovic, 15th seed and Francesca Schiavone, 22nd seed.
Tina Krizan will be Ana's partner in doubles.
The seeds for next week's French Open in Paris, France have been announced. Ana will be the 29th seed out of a total of 32. Ana will be seeded for the first time in her career after a flood of high-profile wins this year.
One week before Roland Garros, Ana made a new career high ranking - she is ranked 32nd with only 16 tournaments played.
Ana played her first WTA tournament last year in May, at Vienna, Austria. Then she was ranked 209.
This year so far, in less then 6 months, Ana won 25 matches, lost 8, and moved up 65 places on WTA rankings. And all off this is achieved with playing in only 9 tournaments.
Ana's next stop is Roland Garros, where she will be one off the seeded players, for the first time in her career in a Grand Slam tournament. This is her first appearance at this event.

This thesis summarizes experimental and theoretical studies on N-vinylformamide (NVF) free radical polymerization and the synthesis and evaluation of cationic grafted copolymers for flocculation purpose. The free radical polymerization of N-vinylformamide was studied in bulk and aqueous solution processes. The molar heat of reaction for NVF polymerization was measured to be 79.4 kJ/mo!. The polymerization kinetics, including the conversion versus time, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, was examined systematically. Significant "gel effect" was observed in bulk and solution polymerization when the monomer concentration was over 40wt% (5.63 moI/L). A semi-empirical model based on the free volume theory was proposed to describe both the bulk and solution polymerizations. It was also confirmed that amide group provided crosslinking points that formed PNVF gel during NVF free radical polymerization. The subsequent acidic and basic hydrolysis to convert PNVF to PV Am was also studied systematically. The effect of temperature, polymer/acid (or base) ratios and polymer concentrations were examined. Two methods were used to synthesize cationic grafted copolymers for flocculation purposes. In the first method, NVF monomer was copolymerized with two cationic poly dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (polyDMAEMA) methyl chloride macromonomers to produce a series of comb-grafted copolymers with different cationic contents. One cationic macro monomer had a molecular weight of 14,100 (50 repeating units) and the other had a molecular weight of 28,200 (100 repeating units). The copolymerization reactivity ratio (r₁) of the comonomer pair (NVF(M₁)-macromonomer(M₂)) was determined to be 3.82 and 6.39 for the two macromonomers with 50 and 100 repeating units. The flocculation performance of the graft copolymers was tested on a TiO₂ aqueous dispersion model system. The graft copolymers were found to be more effective in flocculation than their random linear counterparts. In the second method, poly diallydimethyl ammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) was grafted onto polyacrylamide (PAM) using a mini-mixer in melts with an organic peroxide, Lupersol 130. This process resembled reactive processing usually carried out at a larger scale in extruders to handle highly viscous polymer reactions. The grafting was confirmed and successful. However, severe gelation problem with PAM that occurred during the process hampered the grafting efforts. Parallel to these studies based on experimental data, a theoretical model was derived to describe the bivariate distribution of molecular weight and branching density for comb-grafted copolymers. This model was based on the random grafting of pre-formed side chains onto backbones (grafting-onto) mechanism. However, it is also applicable to the comb polymers synthesized by grafting-from and grafting-through mechanisms as long as the inclusion of the branching point is a random process.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program, ..A program that benefits the consumer, which assures their complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business.
Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have recently contacted Ripoff Report regarding their concern about the claims that you have made in your report, with their ultimate goal being satisfied clients and good customer relations. If you are dissatisfied with any product or service that Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada offer, they have expressed their commitment to making it right with their past customers.
As a matter of policy, when Ripoff Report is retained by a company to mount an independent investigation and to publish our findings, we examine the truthfulness of the consumer complaints using every bit of information at our disposal. Our process is systematic and highly effective because: 1) It takes place at the consumer level and 2) the company or individual in our Corporate Advocacy Program must commit to "doing whatever it takes to make things right with their customers." By working closely with the company or individual, Ripoff Report can track the footprints left behind when their promised level of customer service is actually followed by the solid ground of real behavior. Only then do we publish our findings.
Ripoff Report cannot ever guarantee any product or service, but we can report what we find, in order to help you get a better understanding of the company or individual we are investigating. That having been said, the conclusion Ripoff Report came to after our investigation, to the best of our knowledge, is that these companies are reputable firms, offering products and services of real value.
By Ed Magedson - Founder, Ripoff Report
Last month, Jason Brailow approached Ripoff Report in an effort to work with us to address consumer concerns about his companies: Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Ventures. Mr. Brailow stated to Ripoff Report that Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have now dedicated a portion of their customer service teams to work exclusively on making improvements in the customer service arena. After these initial conversations, Rip-off Report sent emails to everyone who had filed a Report Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and/or TMP Nevada to let customers know about their sincere commitments to remedy any and all customer concerns. In fact, these changes were implemented as a direct result of feedback they received from Rip-off Report.
As a sign of their commitment, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have implemented a "Commitment to Excellence" contract, an internal agreement signed by every employee within their companies. This document was designed to reiterate the fact that customer service is their primary concern within Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada and has now been signed by every employee, from part-timer to CEO. This new contract states "Our customers are our #1 priority. In fact, without our customers, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada do not exist. Therefore, I will do all I can as an employee and will go above and beyond our customers' expectations in the pursuit of excellence in every aspect of the business.
One of the surprises that came from the Rip-off Report investigation was that roughly half of the product/company names listed on the Reports filed against them have no connection with Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada. In fact, these these complaints should have been registered against their competitors.
In a crowded marketplace, it sometimes occurs that one company is mistaken for another, particularly if they market together or market in similar ways (such as if the competition borrows a successful marketing technique). This is similar to what occurred with these companies, but we are confident that if there are mix-ups in the future, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures and TMP Nevada will work with customers to identify the appropriate vendor, so the customer is no longer mistaken and can get the service he or she needs.
In the meantime, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have added new customer service personnel, boosted their ability to handle more calls at one time, and chopped call-in wait times to less than 60 seconds on average. In addition, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have taken a number of significant steps in their ongoing sales and marketing efforts, changes designed to ensure that customers are absolutely clear about how their "free trial" programs work, further clarifying the benefits of naturally derived supplements, and incorporating a new "No Questions Asked" Refund Policy.
Based upon our investigation of Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada and what we have learned about their sincere efforts to improve their customer service processes, Ripoff Report is proud to give Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada positive ratings. All in all, the companies have implemented significant strategic changes to their Customer Service Departments and they're working very hard to achieve the goal of total customer satisfaction through excellent service. We believe this has been made possible by honestly and carefully looking within their organization to find and eliminate any problem areas. The Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada CEO stated, "When we first learned we had reports written against us, we were surprised. We've always had a strong belief in taking good care of our customers, and we couldn't understand where we went wrong. Then, as we looked more closely at our system, we learned there were ways we could improve to make the customer's experience more friendly. With the feedback from the Ripoff Report, we have been able to fine-tune our processes to be more responsive to our customers, thereby increasing customer satisfaction across the board.
We understand that the only way to grow our companies is by first recognizing our weaknesses and then committing the resources necessary to fix the problems those weaknesses have created. We know that we have made mistakes, as all businesses do, but I can assure you that we are 100% committed to resolving those issues and creating an excellent experience for our customers."
Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada ARE GIVING THEIR CUSTOMERS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT...
Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada recruit many of their customers by offering trial bottles of sample products to prospective clients, with the only costs being that customers agree to pay a small shipping and handling charge in order to receive their free trial bottle. For a small S&H charge, the customer gets shipped the product and has 14 days from the date of order, (7 days for shipping and 7 days to try out the product) to see if the product is right for them. If Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada does not hear from their customers, they presume that the customers are enjoying the product, and want to continue to receive it on a monthly basis to ensure they do not run out of supply. However, if Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada do not hear from you, the customer, they cannot take care of your concerns. So please call them if you are not happy. Customers can even keep the product they received, and Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada will gladly refund your money if you are dissatisfied with any part of your experience with them. The Product is yours to keep; this is their way of saying Thank You, for trying their products.
In fact, as noted above, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have now instituted a "No Questions Asked" refund policy. If a Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, or TMP Nevada customer is unhappy for any reason with a product sold by them, they will make a complete and full refund. In this way, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada always work to give consumers the benefit of the doubt -- and Rip-off Report is very impressed with this commitment to ongoing customer satisfaction. Rip-off Report knows there is no company or individual that is perfect Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada know this as well, and they have demonstrated their commitment for continuing improvement. That is why Rip-off Report feels you can be completely confident, safe and secure when doing business with them as a members of Rip-off Reports' Corporate Advocacy, Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.
As a part of the Corporate Advocacy Program, Ripoff Report sent an email to every client who filed a Report on Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada and I would now like to share the results with you.
The majority of clients stated that they appreciated our efforts and related how they had already been taken care of in a satisfactory manner. As usual, most customers asked if they could remove the Report they filed and we explained that unfortunately, it was not possible. It is Rip-off Report's philosophy that it is much more beneficial for the consumer to see how companies like Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada take care of their mistakes. No company is without its share of problems; however, there are many companies who continually sweep those problems under the rug and never achieve the growth that companies such as Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada enjoy.
Ripoff Report feels Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have learned from all those who have complained; they even seem to be thankful for those who have brought problems to their attention.
According to Mr. Brailow, "Although it's unreasonable to think that we will ever achieve 100% customer satisfaction, that is still our goal -- day in and day out. Part of our improvement process is to continually monitor and respond to feedback from our customers, and we've taken a number of steps to ensure that we are always listening to our customers and taking care of them in the very best ways possible."
Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada show leadership by joining the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program.
Keep in mind, Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have worked with more than 500,000 customers and yet they have fewer than 50 Rip-off Reports to filed against them. That works out to a complaint ratio of less than one one-hundredth of one percent (<0.0001)! This is significantly lower than the average for companies in the natural supplements industry, but is especially low for companies that will sometimes have thousands of sales a day. From our perspective, it is quite unusual for a company who has had so few complaints request (on their own) to be a part of the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. In that regard, it's clear that Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada are setting a path other companies can follow that truly care about their clients.
While Rip- off Report does not endorse any company, including Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada, overall, our research demonstrated to us that Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada is a solid, reliable company that stands behind its service.
Many companies that contact Rip-off Report make claims that the Reports about them are false, were filed by the same person or even a competitor. Yes, Rip-off Report knows this can happen from time to time; however, we know this is not true most of the time. From federal to local law enforcement agencies, most use Rip-off Report regularly. When Rip-off Report works with law enforcement to assist consumers, never once have we heard from any agency that the Reports filed had bogus contact information. These agencies include FBI, FTC, SEC, Homeland Security, Secrete Service, US Postal Inspectors, Justice Department, IRS, Federal Prosecutors and local law enforcement in the USA along with government agencies in more than eight other countries.
For the record, Rip-off Report does not solicit companies to participate in its Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program. Any participation in this program is completely voluntary and at the request of the program member.
This program requires Member Businesses to agree to satisfy all complaints - past, present and in the future, even when those complaints come to us by e-mail -- and Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have made that commitment to us and make that commitment to you as well.
The Member Business must also state improvements they are willing to make to their business which benefits the customer to avoid the reported problems from happening again in the future -- and Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada have made such improvements and have shared them with us.
Anyone contacting the following e-mail address will get immediate attention (within 3-5 business days, usually within 24 to 48 hours).
We ask that you contact and Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada at firstname.lastname@example.com
RIP-OFF REPORT CHARTING NEW TERRITORY ..Consumers should feel confident and secure when doing business with member businesses.
..Remember, just because a company or individual is reported on Rip-off Report does not mean you should not do business with them. Use Rip-off Report information as a tool to your advantage. Be knowledgeable about any company or person you hire. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions and get additional information until you feel comfortable in allowing them to work for you.
However, we believe that consumers can feel confident and secure when doing business with Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, TMP Nevada, and Jason Brailow.
Crush LLC, JAB Ventures, and TMP Nevada, and Jason Brailow have made a commitment to and are a proud member of Rip-off Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program -- a program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business ....
