JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - The long debate over voter ID could be placed in the hands of those casting the ballots.
Mississippians are expected to learn Monday whether a Republican-led petition gathered enough signatures to place a voter identification measure on the 2011 general election ballot. That would require at least 100,000 certified John Hancocks.
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is expected to announce whether the petition met its goal in his office in the state capitol Monday afternoon.
Governor Haley Barbour was among those who signed the petition. Republicans pushed hard over the past six months to gather signatures, kicking off a nine-city statewide tour in August.
According to supporters, the Magnolia state needs voter ID to stop election fraud.
But opponents said it's unnecessary, and could bar certain groups from going to the polls, such as the elderly or those without drivers licenses.
Under the initiative in question, voters would have to show photo ID to cast a ballot, but those who can't afford one could get a photo ID free of charge from the Department of Public Safety.
While Republicans are drumming up support for the measure, Democrats say they should be focusing on other issues, like the economy.
It was Republicans who killed a voting bill last year in the senate that included a voter ID measure. A spokesman said it included other items Republicans didn't agree with.

TriMedica - AlkaMax Liquid Drops for pH Balance 1 oz. (30 mL)
TriMedica - AlkaMax Liquid Drops for pH Balance provides a welcome alkaline addition to your diet. Add to a glass of water, or add to coffee, tea or other beverages for a more alkaline, less acid drink.
What Is pH and pH Balance?pH = Potential Hydrogen When you measure your alkalinity with a pH strip you are measuring how much hydrogen your body is unable to convert back into an alkaline state. When you have too much potential hydrogen, your body produces acid bases that lead to acidic conditions such as occasional fatigue, heartburn, acid indigestion and even more serious conditions. Taking antacids merely reduces the hydrochloric acid levels your body depends upon for digestion. AlkaMax addresses acidic conditions by using powerful alkaloid minerals that convert potential hydrogen back into a state of alkalinity at the cellular level without eliminating the healthy acid that your body needs for digestion. AlkaMax is a natural antacid that not only helps neutralize excess stomach acid and indigestion, but actually reduces acid buildup throughout your entire body! Unlike other antacids that only treat short-term symptoms of indigestion and heartburn, AlkaMAX gets to the underlying source of acid buildup, by promoting better long-term acid/alkaline (pH) balance all through your system.AlkaMAX is the first natural supplement line that provides a unique patent-pending blend of essential nutrient alkaline boosters that help quench the burning acid damage that can destroy your health and your youthful looks and vigor. We all want to reduce stress and eat better, but with our hectic modern lifestyles, it's almost impossible to stay balanced. So start giving your body the alkaline boost it needs to balance your pH and combat excess acid damage with easy, convenient and effective AlkaMAX capsules or powder!

Wonderful stay!
We loved everything about this place! It was just the right size for our family. Location was perfect it was close to everything. Will definitely stay here again when we come back to Kissimmee. And will recommend this to anyone who is coming here!
Nice View .Great Place to Stay!
This was the first time for us staying in a vacation rental home! I was a little bit concerned at the very beginning, but once we actually got there, it was just like our home. The super nice lake view surpised us! The beds were super comfy and kids loved their rooms. Also, it was a gated community and I saw security guards walking around in the community several times. The location was great too, we were only 5 or so miles from Disneyworld. We had a really good time in Orlando. Thanks Iverson and will recommend to friends!
My granddaughter and I very pleased by the good facilites, equipment and cleaning the aparment have many towels, sheet and pillow. A quiet and secure place, close to exit 192 left Walmart, closer Applebee, Sams, Wendy and another Walmart in Vineland, another restaurant and Disney parks. Very grateful for Julie.Borg, I hope return next year. Thanks so much..

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Cold War may be a thing of the past in a political sense, but the battle between Russia and the West is still alive and well in the hockey world.
This week, representatives of the NHL and KHL, among numerous other ambassadors from international hockey leagues, gathered in Toronto for the World Hockey Summit. One hot topic was whether NHL players will be allowed to skate in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, but another, more-pressing issue took center stage.
That topic was the ongoing battle between the world's biggest and best hockey leagues, the NHL and Russia's Kontinental Hockey League. Since the KHL was formed in 2008, the league has placed itself in direct competition with the NHL by attempting to lure players to Russia. How successful the upstart league has been in achieving that goal is up for debate, but it's clear that the KHL has at least drawn the attention of the NHL.
On the surface, the leagues appeared to be civil towards one another in Toronto this week, but just like in the Cold War, the real battles are raging behind closed doors.
Former NHL player and current KHL executive Slava Fetisov, a Hockey Hall of Famer, did his best to highlight the supposed goodwill between the warring leagues when he said, "We need the help to grow together. I think we need the relationship with the NHL. But in reality, synergy is not on at the top of the list for either sides.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly was more pragmatic in his assessment of current relationship between the leagues when he said, "I think, obviously, we have had some misunderstandings and disagreements and you only bridge those differences by continued dialogue. I think we have improved the level of dialogue in recent months and I hope that continues."
The real point of contention facing the leagues is that there is currently no transfer agreement in place between the NHL and KHL. Until an agreement is worked out regarding that issue, there are no rules of engagement when it comes to the KHL trying to lure players away from the NHL, or vice versa.
Up to this point, most of the NHL players who have decided to jump ship for the Russian league have been toward the end of their careers, but there is one name that keeps popping up as an example of the KHL's ability to draw talent away from North America. That player is former Nashville Predators forward Alexander Radulov, who signed a three-year deal with Salavat Yulaev Ufa of the KHL in the summer of 2008 despite having one season remaining on his contract with the Preds.
Both the NHL and the International Ice Hockey Federation condemned the signing, but without a transfer agreement in place, neither organization had any legal recourse to stop Radulov from leaving his NHL club. All the Predators could do was suspend Radulov for the 2008-09 season and lament the fact that they wasted a first-round pick on a talented player who decided his best career move was to play professionally in his home country.
Two years later, Radulov's exodus seems like an isolated incident but there are still no rules in place that could prevent another player from making the same decision. The very real possibility that a young player will simply pull ups takes and leave for the KHL has struck fear in the hearts of NHL general managers and possibly has led to only four Russian players being selected in the first round of the NHL Entry Draft over the last two years. After Radulov, a key question regarding any Russian prospect has been the player's desire to play in North America, something that is not as easy to gauge as whether or not a guy has the skill to be a success in the NHL.
As with the aforementioned issue regarding NHLers playing in the 2014 Olympics, the transfer agreement problem will not be solved before the NHL's current collective bargaining agreement expires on September 15, 2012 and there is a distinct possibility that the controversy will linger on even after a new CBA is agreed upon. After all, the KHL is a separate entity and doesn't have to bow to the NHL demands.
One hopes that cooler heads will eventually prevail for the sake of international hockey as a whole. While the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the U.S. went on for over 40 years, hopefully the NHL and KHL can find a more expedient solution to their problems.

Reminiscing Mother's Day
"Be kind to me when I am old.
Be patient with my ways,
And if I irritate you, dear,
Be mindful of the days
When I shared all your little woes
And heard your slightest cry.
I kissed each bump to make it well
And wiped your teardrops dry."
And, so dear child of mine,
Be kind when I grow old
Until the Shepherd calls me back
To His eternal fold."
This lovely poem was written by Josephine Wayland, who lived on Neponset Avenue for quite a few years. Her daughter Anne has sent me other poems that I have used over the years. If I remember correctly, her Mom even hosted a Reading Club in her home. (By the way, Anne's brother, Greg Wayland, is on the NECN Channel.) My mother wrote poetry when she was in high school. My maternal grandfather was also a poet. Many of his poems were about current events and were published in the local Jamaica Plain weekly newspaper.
As I have mentioned before, my brother Jackie and I lost our mother in 1945. I was 10; my brother was 6. (As a matter of fact, it was May 7.) We did, however, have a wonderful grandmother who came to live with us and who took care of our father and the two of us. When I was in high school, I was not a big fan of Shakespeare. Grandma used to read the words to me, with expression, so that I understood them. Jackie and I were also fortunate to have two caring aunts, Getta (named for her aunt, who was named for the Battle of Gettysburg) and Ethel, both of whom lived close and watched over us. As a kid, I would love to comb my grandmother's long white hair with her bone comb. I would then make one big braid for her. She would make a bun with the braid at the nape of her neck and put in big white hairpins to hold it securely. The best thing that I remember about my mother was watching her put on face powder just before she went in town to shop. She probably didn't bring home much because we had very little money during World War II. (By the way, Hubby's father died the next day, May 8, but in 1963, 18 years later than my mother, and 50 years ago last week.) I heard, on Ch. 7, the list of the top three gifts that most mothers would want for Mother's Day. First was a handmade gift from a child. The second was a complete day off. The third was a day at a spa. I disagree. I heard, on WBZ, that most Moms would like a gift card. I think that would be more like it. I myself love receiving flowers.
When my brother died, my sister-in-law Peg and niece Terri gave us two azaleas, which Hubby planted against the back fence. They are still small but are covered with flower buds. The big hot pink azalea, planted at the edge of the back yard, is magnificent. It is such a vibrant color that I thought it was in full bloom. We checked it out on Mother's Day and discovered that about one-third of the flower buds have not opened as yet. Hubby has already taken photos of it.
I am far from computer savvy so I was delighted to find the address for One Fund Boston, Inc., which is collecting funds, by mail, for the victims of the Marathon bombings. The address is: One Fund Boston, Inc., 800 Boylston St. P.O. Box 990009, Boston MA, 02199. The phone is 1-855-617-FUND (3863). We have already put a check in the mail.
Hubby and I have always appreciated the film work of Ray Harryhausen. We just loved the movie "Jason and the Argonauts," where Jason did battle with the skeletons. Ray even helped to create the ape in "Mighty Joe Young." His animation work was amazing, especially in those years, when there were no computers to help him achieve the effects he wanted.
A bit of information: If you have always wanted to go to the Museum of Fine Arts, or would like to see that beautiful museum once again, why not take yourself there on Memorial Day weekend, either on Sat., Sun., or Mon., May 25 to 27. The museum, located at 100 Huntington Ave., will waive its usual $25 entrance fee all three days. Because of all the sadness that Boston has endured with the Marathon bombings, New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has loaned the Boston museum three of its paintings. The first is "Northeaster" by Winslow Homer, the second, "Lachrymae" by Frederic, Lord Leighton, and the third, "The Monet Family in Their Garden at Argenteuil" by Edouard Manet. I would go just to see the Egyptian sarcophagi once again.
I was watching TV last Thursday as Romeo and Juliet, the swans that spend the warm weather in the lagoon in the Boston Public Garden, were released from their winter home into the lagoon. I began to read about the swans because I think they are so beautiful. I discovered that both of these mute swans are female. They are devoted to each other and get along very well. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the return of the swans and so there was even a little parade to the lagoon. From the photo in the May 8 Boston Globe, there were many little children watching the entire ceremony.
I very seldom get a chance to watch "Ellen" in the afternoon although I enjoy her show very much. I did, however, happen to see the show where Cher appeared with her Mom, Georgia Holt. I learned that, years ago, Georgia had made musical tapes. Georgia found these tapes in her garage and showed them to her daughter. Cher then had a professional take the music off the tapes. Her mother has a wonderful voice, even at age 86. Ellen had both Cher and Georgia sing a song together. I was astounded at her mother's terrific voice. I understand that there is a documentary on the Lifetime Channel about Georgia. She is the prettiest 86-year-old I have ever seen. (She has amazing cheekbones.) She has appeared on TV on the "I Love Lucy" show. If you come across the documentary about Georgia, please watch it. You will be amazed.
Thanks to a "heads-up" from a friend, I learned that our mutual friend Judy (Minehan) Jones, who is retired from Carney Hospital, had lost her husband Francis, on May 7, at age 78. Many know Judy because she worked in the Ambulatory Care Unit of Carney, with such great doctors as Dr. Deborah O'Keefe and Dr. Mark Ostrem. Judy was the gal behind the inside desk, who would make out the paperwork for various tests. I knew that Francis was not well but Judy, at the wake, told me that he passed away peacefully but unexpectedly. I send my sympathy to Judy, and to their children: Michael, Mary Rattigan, Stephen, John, and Kevin.
Last Wednesday, Hubby, daughter Sue, and I went to St. Gregory's for the 4 p.m. Mass for the Feast of the Ascension holy day. In our pew there was a prayer card, which said," Pray for Peace and Justice." On the reverse side, there was a prayer, asking God to heal the victims of the Marathon bombings and asking that peace may reign in America and throughout the world. We took one prayer card home.
At the end of Mass on Sat. afternoon, Father George stood at the back of the church and gave a beautiful pink carnation to each of the women attending the Mass. We all loved receiving the beautiful flower. I told Father George that the flower usually lasts at least a week. We thank Father for the pretty Mother's Day remembrance.
Although the morning weather on Mother's Day was not the best, Hubby and I had a great time. We had already bought pansies and a few geraniums earlier in the week. On Sunday, very early, we bought more geraniums and quite a few impatiens. We must find the time, in the next few weeks, to plant them in our two whiskey barrels and in our big flower pots. When we arrived home, I spoke for a while with my sister-in-law Peg and wished her a "Happy Mother's Day."
Just after lunch, our daughter Jeanne and granddaughter Erin came in from Rockport. Erin had a big exam on Monday so they only stayed about an hour and a half. (Son-in-law David was going to do the cooking because of Mother's Day.) Erin had brought her iPhone with her so Grandpa, Auntie Sue, and I (Grandma) were able to see her as she tried on her (senior) prom gown. It was red, which looked beautiful with her coloring. I asked what she was going to wear for jewelry but she said that she didn't need any. "My gown is beaded on top so I don't need anything more. I will have a corsage on my wrist." She even showed us the way she is going to have her long "dirty blonde" hair styled for the prom. (Her hair becomes even more blonde as the summer goes on.) Her prom is this Friday evening so we pray she, her date, and the rest of her classmates have wonderful weather.
We had asked Jeanne and Erin to stay until son Paul came by about four p.m. so we could all go to dinner. They weren't able to stay that late with David cooking. About 4 p.m., we left for Gerard's. We all got our favorite meals. (My meatloaf dinner was wonderful.) We didn't have dessert at Gerard's because Sue said she had purchased dessert at Stop & Shop on Sat. evening. About 8 p.m., that evening, Sue brought out vanilla ice cream with hot fudge sauce. I only had a little and it was wonderful!
Here is a great thought "He who is thankful for little enjoys much." (anon)

Narrow your search
The "YouTube for audio" is the latest streaming-music site to tout new ways artists can commercialize. Of course, for its 175 million monthly listeners, that means commercials.
SoundCloud is the latest service to gain support on the Sonos wireless home audio system.
The company apparently held talks with Soundcloud but decided not do so with Pandora or Spotify, despite considering acquisition bids.
What could've been the social network's biggest acquisition to date now appears to be kaput, according to reports.
A "YouTube for audio" acquisition would instantly give Twitter wide access to the music industry -- but it would be pricey.
People now can link better with Facebook and other outside sites, find new music, and search faster, says CEO Alex Ljung.
Some say the next killer app is sound and a new Flipboard update out today offers more news and updates you can listen to instead of read.
The funding round for the Web audio host reportedly nets $50 million, which would give the company a $200 million valuation.
For Manolo Espinosa, head of audio at SoundCloud, a typical day can involve chasing down presidential candidates and trying to get journalists to use his popular service. CNET spent a day with him.
Social media may work better for musicians when they ask other artists to recommend their music. CNET talks with Headliner.fm founder Mike More at the MusicTech Summit in S.F.

Is there a different view by political-scientist in history mention that printing more bill is different from adding few more zeros on the bill. I know some Africa country tend to doing that.

And CASI will stay over $2, perhaps forever. A stretch? Yes, but things must be moving forward, imo.

Laurie R. King
Adult Fiction KING
Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Laurie R. King's New York Times bestselling novels of suspense featuring Mary Russell and her husband, Sherlock Holmes, comprise one of today's most acclaimed mystery series. Now, in their newest and most thrilling adventure, the couple is separated by a shocking circumstance in a perilous part of the world, each racing against time to prevent an explosive catastrophe that could clothe them both in shrouds. In a strange room in Morocco, Mary Russell is trying to solve a pressing mystery: Who am I? She has awakened with shadows in her mind, blood on her hands, and soldiers pounding on the door. Out in the hivelike streets, she discovers herself strangely adept in the skills of the underworld, escaping through alleys and rooftops, picking pockets and locks. She is clothed like a man, and armed only with her wits and a scrap of paper containing a mysterious Arabic phrase. Overhead, warplanes pass ominously north. Meanwhile, Holmes is pulled by two old friends and a distant relation into the growing war between France, Spain, and the Rif Revolt led by Emir Abd el-Krim--who may be a Robin Hood or a power mad tribesman. The shadows of war are drawing over the ancient city of Fez, and Holmes badly wants the wisdom and courage of his wife, whom he's learned, to his horror, has gone missing. As Holmes searches for her, and Russell searches for her self, each tries to crack deadly parallel puzzles before it's too late for them, for Africa, and for the peace of Europe. With the dazzling mix of period detail and contemporary pace that is her hallmark, Laurie R. King continues the stunningly suspenseful series that Lee Child called "the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today." Praise for Garment of Shadows "As always, the relationship between Holmes and Russell is utterly understated yet traced with heat and light."-- Booklist (starred review) "[A] taut tale . . . original and intriguing . . . This tantalizing glimpse into the life and times of a rapidly evolving Arabic society has remarkable resonance for our own uncertain times."-- Publishers Weekly "Those new to the series are in for a treat."--Bookreporter

Looks like the new splash pad park is a big hit, but compared to the fun we had as kids at the Tyndall Park Pool – it's got be "… like kissin' your sister ... "
I don't mean to denigrate the effort and treasure put into the attraction, but let's face it – it DOES have a limited attention span for children, young folks and parents.

In the mid-1990s I had the privilege of interviewing actress Shirley Jones.
She had been my movie heroine for many years, so I was thrilled when she came to Little Rock for a promotional event that included the showing of "Oklahoma!," the marvelous movie she made with Gordon MacRae.
I don't remember the arrangements that made it possible for me to spend time with her, but I do know I jumped at the opportunity.
The "Oklahoma!" showing in LR was at the old Cinema 150, which was a delightful venue for the days when I was a frequent viewer of Hollywood's offerings.

If you channel into the Food Network, you may just be welcomed with a resounding, "Hey y'all!" Or will you? Paula Deen is a well-known and arguably well-loved celebrity chef whose signature mediums are butter and Southern charm.
Recently, Deen has undergone some hate because of alleged racial slurs and behavior.
You may not know this, but July is National Ice Cream Month. Other than the flag, could anything possibly be more American than ice cream?
As an ice cream zealot, I proudly take up the familiar chant of "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream."
Don't know who coined that, but it's a gem.
I'm proud there's a designated time to celebrate ice cream, but for me it never goes out of season. The mercury can dip well below the freezing mark, but I still enjoy the taste of this treat — summer, winner, springtime and fall.
Sometimes, it's not what you do, but when you do it that makes all the difference. The evidence to support this statement can be found in history and all around us.
In recent weeks, a movement to take Saline County from dry status to a wet county has been forming. This isn't the first time an effort regarding alcohol in the county has been knocked around and likely won't be let last, regardless of the outcome. If the effort is successful, somewhere down the line of history, an attempt to revert back to dry status will gain momentum.

I remember my mother's 32nd birthday pretty well. This is partly because she — sweet lady that she is — kept the birthday card my brother and I made her hanging on her bedroom wall for several years.
It was a large card, made with poster board instead of paper.
It featured a picture I drew of my mother with a humongous cake.
The only parts of her that were visible in the drawing were her legs behind the huge cake, and there was a little caption bubble that read: "Who turned out the lights???"
Did you ever stop to analyze an expression and wonder where it came from?
An example is: "Round up the usual suspects."
How many times have you heard that line? Police people often use it jokingly, but I wonder how many people — even the police — know where it started.
Like many expressions that have found their way into common conversation, this one originated in a movie — one of my favorites, in fact — "Casablanca." Claude Rains as Capt. Louis Renault says it in one of the memorable scenes from the 1942 film classic that I never tire of watching.
By Steve Boggs
If you're like me, your internal clock is set to the school year, not the regular calendar. The year begins in August, when school starts, and ends in July. While the Dog Days of Summer officially began July 3 and do not end until Aug. 11 (according to the Old Farmer's Almanac), the last two weeks of July are really the heart of the Dog Days.
Kudos to the Benton Police Department for showing the local community and the rest of the world that police officers have a heart.
Too much of the time we see the absolutely necessary stern fronts they have to present to the public. Police people try not to reveal the mushy, gushy stuff because their very jobs — often their very lives — depend on it.
But underneath the blue are the same feelings the rest of us have and are allowed to display openly, without apology.
This is all being said in response to the tender ending that was afforded to K-9 Rudy.
This week, I'm not disputing any points of view. I'm not arguing with the actions of our government.
This may be an opinion column, but sometimes you just have to stop and be grateful. By "grateful," I mean remembering true heroes and casting a bold "thank you" to our men and women of valor.

As the months get warmer, you can look forward to using blackberries in jams, jellies, pancakes, muffins, smoothies, salads and desserts.
In the U.S., blackberries have grown wild since time immemorial. European settlers ate them fresh, dried or preserved, taking their cue from Native Americans. Today, Oregon is the world's leading grower of blackberries, selling 56 million pounds of them every year. Did You Know?: Compared to raspberries, blackberries are larger, darker and a hardier crop. However, they are also occasionally confused with black raspberries, which are a cross between the two.
There are many different kinds of blackberry plant, but they all yield pretty much the same berry. Where they differ, then, is in whether the blackberries grow on brambles that are spiny or smooth; whether they are upright or creeping plants; and what time of year their fruits ripen.
They peak during the summer months and into early autumn. However, blackberries can be grown in greenhouses, making them available all year long.
Most blackberries are sold in the fresh produce section, usually pre-packaged in unsealed plastic boxes. Look for berries that are black and shiny, with no damage or wrinkling. Avoid blackberries that are reddish (since they're unripe) or moist (because these will go bad much faster).
Your blackberries will go into the fruit drawer of your refrigerator, though you should keep a few things in mind before popping them in there. First, consider immediately eating any soft or overripe berries, since these will spoil very shortly. Second, it may help to pat your berries dry with a paper towel before storing them, to eliminate moisture. You can even line the box with paper towels as a way to keep blackberries fresher longer. Also, for a summer treat, place dry, unwashed berries on a pan and put them in the freezer. Once frozen, you can store them in a zip-seal bag or container. These little frozen delights will last for up to a year, and their icy tartness make the hot summer months more bearable.
To begin, toss out any overripe berries. Then rinse the remainder under cold tap water, and pat them dry with a paper towel. Most fruit salads and dessert dishes call for whole blackberries, but occasionally a muffin or pancake mix may require bigger berries to be sliced into halves or quarters. Keep in mind that the sweet blackberry juice usually makes streaks in batter, so add them last when making muffins. If you're making pancakes on the griddle, pour the batter first, then drop the blackberries into it. This will make your flapjacks prettier and easier to flip. Frozen blackberries work well in pancakes, but be sure to cook them long enough to defrost the berries.
Nearly all recipes call for blackberries in cups.
This is an easy one. You can try raspberries instead, or go for one of the many blackberry hybrids, like black raspberries, boysenberries, ollalieberries, marionberries and loganberries.
Healthified Berry Shortcake and Low-Fat Flan are two desserts that take much of their sweetness from fresh blackberries.
And for a main course that blends savory protein with tart fruit, make these Healthified Lamb Chops with Blackberry-Red Wine Sauce. They look so gorgeous on a plate, and taste great paired with a red wine.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Indiana Senate is pushing for a new budget that would expand highways across the state.Senate Republicans want to pass a $30 billion budget they say would also cut the state's income tax by millions.
They want to put $200 million a year into more lanes on I-65 and I-70 all around Indiana. The money would also pay for the construction of a new state Commerce Connector highway.
House lawmakers want to use Indiana's extra money in the state's budget to fund better roads and education.
But Governor Mike Pence wants to spend the money on a large tax cut.

didnt stay there as they were full even though we booked, so they left us stranded in the streets of bogota at 4 in the morning. Not the safest streets! We went back and begged to sleep on the couch or set up a hammock. The ladie rang around and found us hostel sue which we had ball at. Lost our deposit, no point in booking

Pro: Hot shower, kitchen, free breakfast. Con: Bed linen is too small. During the night it slides off since they have covered the mattress with some gliding material. That means everyone actually sleep on the same "linen"... The pillow is covered with some airtight material so that it gets really uncomfortable. I might stay there again.

My stay at Hostel Fatima was great. As Bogota is a colder city, naturally the hostel is the same. This hostel does not lie when it says it has hot showers so taking advantage of that helps to ease the cold. Great decor and cool vibe but the kitchen is usually a disaster and I avoided cooking in the hostel completely. The bedding is warm and cozy. All in all, I'd recommend the hostel, as the location can't be beat!

What can governments do to end poverty in their countries? Is a solution possible under capitalism?
Hello, I come from Argentina, and in my country, poverty is an issue we still can't eradicate, even though extreme poverty has been around for many decades now.
What still baffles me is the fact that although the Government gives away money to those with reduced incomes, poverty is as bad as always. Poor people can now (at least) fulfill their basic needs, but they have now become dependant on the Govt to give them the necessary resources for life (and politicians do not care about this, since this way they can keep on "buying" their votes with cash). They don't have jobs (and some do not even bother to find one) and most still live in slums under really poor conditions. So, it's obvious this solution is only benefitial in the short run... eventually the Government is going to run out of money and we'll still have the same number of people in the streets.
Moreover, I read yesterday how India is going to start doing the same thing, but I guess that probably won't go anywhere either.
Now, what do you think is the solution to stop this vicious circle of poverty? What is your Government doing about it?
Bear in mind that Latin America has just extreme poverty levels (not as much as Africa), but still much more than the First World countries. At least in my country there is a surprisingly high number of slums (check some photos in wikipedia: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_miseria )
In my opinion, emphasis should be made on giving labour to these people outside-the-system. But for that, we need to offer public AND quality education. Yet I'm conscious that a malnourished child is not going to be able to be properly educated, is he?. So what can we do to ensure that child will have a better future? It's difficult to come up with a solution, but we're in the 21st Century now, it's about time we stopped poverty.

Jan 19 2013: "Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual Ignorance." H.L.Mencken
But is the best of a never ending of our pathetic beliefs. Is education the key? We are far more knowledgeable than a century ago. More educated? Maybe.
"I don't have any solution, but certainly admire the problem" Ashleigh Brilliant
Personal responsibility, free choice, laziness, prostitution, drug addicts, greed, honesty, compassion, brutality, generosity,pomposity, pretentiousness, jealousy, intolerance, corruption....politics and religion, poverty, and many more are a big bag (or stone) that humans need to carry some times voluntary, some times involuntary . (Sisyphus fable).
There is not solution to our never ending dilutions. We are just humans. Are we doom or dumb? Both?
Is a jungle out there. The only thing that I can be sure is that I can change and improve is myself.....if I have the will.
Good luck and happy trails.

You may remember a few days ago when we reported on a clip showing Sony's LocationFree Player system running on Android. Since the release of the initial video (and the overwhelming number of inquiries about the app that followed), XDA Forum Member mgschwan has received the clearance from Sony necessary to release the app.
ThereTV is the only app of its kind. It allows you to stream your home television or even your personal DVD collection anywhere using the LocationFree system. It requires a LocationFree Base Station and a few minutes of set-up time, but for LocationFree users who want to bring the experience to their Android device it couldn't be more worthwhile. From the original thread:
If you've got a Base Station and a little free time on your hands why not give it a shot? Let other users know how it worked for you in the forums. Don't forget to thank mgschwan for sharing his creation with the community. The app is available for free on the Market here (though a donate version is available). You can also find any information surrounding ThereTV in the release thread here or the official website here.

- Always greatMikeyGVIPDined on 9/18/2014The staff and the kitchen combine with Drew's sense of the wine seasons to provide a reliable and delightful dining experience every time. ThanksSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ZecaDined on 9/16/2014Just wonderful. The food was delicious and in fact it is a beautiful restaurant. The evening was most agreable. Thank you. Claudia AntonaccioSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- all-around fantastic experiencesoycristinaDined on 9/15/2014This is hands-down one of the best meals I've had all year. Everything we had –from the bread basket to the entrees to dessert– was excellent. Don't miss the potato-wrapped sea bass (or at least have someone at the table order it so you can try it). Great service and notable wine list, too.Special Features:
- Good food, service spottysammyVIPDined on 9/14/2014Went with a group of friends for brunch. The selection was good, but for what you got it was a little pricey and the service wasn't very attentive. I had the biscuits to start, which were NOT fluffy, they felt very Pillsbury and over-cooked but the egg omelette for my main was good. My friends had fruit and granola to start and french toast as a main, which looked good. It would've been nicer if they came by and filled up our juice and coffee, which they didn't often and when my friend asked for coffee it took a long time to bring milk and sugar. I would recommend for a nice brunch if you're willing to pay, but there are a lot of nice brunch spots downtown, so I probably won't be back again so soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic!Pk13Dined on 9/13/2014Recently celebrated my 1 year wedding anniversary at Cafe Boulud. We ordered the tasting menu. It was a great experience. My husband and I were served a different dish in each course which only enhanced the dining experience. They also have a great brunch. Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meets High ExpectationsPeterVIPDined on 9/13/2014Café Boulud continues to be excellent, and has become one of our few favourite restaurants. Expect good, creative food, good service and a pleasing dining atmosphere...you will not be disappointed.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014Very good experience all around. The only flaw was that the appetizer was rushed. We wanted to enjoy our pre-dinner drink, but were rushed when the appetizer came too quickly (we had asked for a bit of time). Not a big deal, however, in an overall very enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- Great late-night dinnerbrandcVIPDined on 9/11/2014Enjoyed a late dinner after attending TIFF movie. Green salad, seared foie gras and ravioli all delicious. Our server, Zack, was knowledgeable, attentive and a great conversationalist. Had a wonderful evening and lingered with some port and a complimentary cheese plate. We love Cafe Boulud and return often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/9/2014Big disappointment. Nothing special. However great sommelier and terrific wait staff.Special Features:
- Disappointing experienceFoodieDined on 9/7/2014Salad dressing-too salty Lamb saddle - chewy Vegetable on the plate - over cooked and uninvited Service-robotic
- Wonderful brunchGlennaDined on 9/7/2014The menu was full of tempting dishes and it was difficult to choose. The food was delectable and the service was friendly and professional. This was our fourth visit for brunch and we enjoyed it as much as the first time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but can do bettersandyuDined on 9/7/2014It wasn't fully occupied on weekend. I made a reservation on 11:45am but I was 15 minutes late, I called them ahead and noticed them I will be there before 12:15 pm, hope they would hold the table for me. They replied that I was just wasting my time because there was another party coming 1.5 hours later, it's my own benefit to come on time. I was wrong that I'm late, but I think they can do something for me when they have so many empty places, such as delay our reservation. So I canceled exsiting one and made another reservation. Service is great but kinda slow. I requested twice to get my cream for coffee, and wait long to get refill coffee and water. Stuffs are so friendly and professional. Food is geart in such fancy place.Special Features:
- Gorgeous brunch at the Four SeasonsOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/7/2014Had a delicious lunch at the Four Seasons - it was $42 including coffee/tea and an extra $8 for dessert. I thought for what I had and unlimited coffee/tea, and for a 5 star hotel, it was good value. All the staff were very friendly, and the food top notch. Nex time I visit Toronto I would definitely have brunch at the Four Seasons.Special Features:
- Chef was amazingEssenguruDined on 9/4/2014We had the taster menu and my daughter and I thought it was amazing both for the flavour, but also that each of our tastings were completely different and inspired. Also we found the entire thing quite filling to the point of we couldn't finish the desert selections, which were amazing( a basket of profiteroles, chocolate lava cake & vanilla ice cream, grapefruit mousse. Amazing!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing place!GYJGDined on 8/29/2014My wife, my dqughter and I had a wonderful time in Café Boulud. Even though we used to live around there, we didn't know about that place. One of my friend recommended Café Boulud and we tried on Friday morning. Some of the hotel restaurnats are just fancy with poor quality of meals. However, our family enjoyed our meal at Café Boulud and the atmosphere was so friendly. My daughter was especially happy about the drawing and playing menu with crayons. The lady who guided us to our seats knows how to handle the kids and that really impressed us. Overall, we were very satisfied at Café Boulud and we are expecting to having a nice time again there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special 42nd Wedding AnniversarysomewhatdisappointedDined on 8/27/2014I have been to the restaurant a few times before. I usually like to go there for very special occasions. Menu always interesting and venue is casual elegant. However for this evening, there is not that wow factor. I think it was noisy from the bar downstairs and the table beside us and the service is mediocre and not attentive enough. Even at the end the coffee was sour and not fresh and had to be re-ordered.This I do not expect from a restaurant of this calibre so that was disappointing.Special Features:
- Rushed serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014Ordered the 7 course tasting menu..service was very rushed. Very limited details about courses etc
- Near perfectionTorontoGamblersVIPDined on 8/19/2014The service was unbelievable, attentive and friendly. I find in most high end restaurants management believes service should be pretentious to be good, I hate that. Everything was attended to with warm greetings and friendly smiles. The food was delicious, substantial and very well presented. We had the halibut and Sea bass, both were great. I'll 100% be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food!torontofoodieDined on 8/19/2014The 5 course tasting menu was delicious with beautiful plating. The service was attentive and the place had a nice ambiance.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/19/2014Great service and wonderful food. A lovely spot for a special occasion or if you want first class dining.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Daniel Does It AgainbobbarbaraVIPDined on 8/13/2014My wife and I are New Yorkers who make it our business to eat at all the Boulud restaurants in NYC whenever we can manage to afford it. This was our first time eating at Boulud's Toronto restaurant and we intend to do it again when we next visit Toronto . Viva Daniel Boulud !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not what I was expectingsandraDined on 8/12/2014We were there for summerlicious and it was GREAT Regular menu items were SMALL and my specialty dish of rabbit was also bland. Surprisingly the manager asked me if it had been TOO FLAVOURFUL?!Special Features:
- Date nightiqsterVIPDined on 8/9/2014My wife and I were able to sneak off for dinner and leave the kids with my sister. we decided to return to Cafe Boulud since i wouldn't have the hassle of parking downtown (they offer valet parking) and because the food/service was amazing the last time we had been there. this time was no exception. we got there for 930pm and we weren't rushed at all. very good service from Zachary. The food is sooo good.Special Features:
- Mz123Dined on 8/8/2014Perfect Service ...attentive but not in your face...just right with portions, spices and food temperature....freiendly staff from the hostess to servers to wait staff....and a nice touch on the anniversary plate!!!...Thank You to everyone!!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent ExcellenceFredDined on 8/6/2014That pretty much sums up the experience at Cafe Boulud. We have dined there several times and we are always delighted at the consistency and quality of the food, the service, the wine list and the experience. We will become regular patrons of this exceptional place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Chefs tasting menu a must!!!2die4Dined on 8/6/2014My daughter and I both had the 5 course chefs menu. It changes everyday and we both had different meals, so we shared! Layers of flavours, perfect wine pairings per course, and informative, attentive service by Shea and the whole team start to finish! Just when we thought we were done, they brought hot lemon Madeline's to the table AFTER dessert. I can't believe we ate them all--but they were a perfect end to a delicious meal--a very enjoyable evening of memory making with my daughter! Thank you so much Cafe Boulud!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Heavenly!TravelingsistersDined on 8/5/2014Our experience at Cafe Boulud was nothing short of heavenly! We ran into traffic trouble and ended up being 30 minutes late for our reservation and there was no problem being seated on a Tuesday night. The service from Zachary was excellent and he made us feel welcomed. The food...the food...what can I say. We thought the salad was divine until the sea bass and halibut showed up! Perfection is the only way to describe both dishes. We had heard bad reviews about the ambience, but we thought it was funky yet quite lovely. Overall, it was a highlight of our week long Toronto vacation. Cafe Boulud will definitely be on our itinerary the next time we are in Toronto!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- creative and deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/5/2014We ate here three times (2 dinners and a breakfast) while staying at the hotel and tried several different dishes, all of which were creative and well-executed. The service is excellent, and the servers were knowledgeable and personable as well as helpful with the menu and wine pairings. If you like grapefruit, that dessert is not to be missed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Perfect Steak.exploringthecityDined on 8/3/2014Great service, quiet environment on the second floor, with modern artwork and a pleasant dining experience. Duck egg and lobster salad appetizer were perfectly prepared. Steak was cooked to perfection with crispy pommes. Overall, a lovely experience at the Four Seasons Hotel.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Daniel disappointsEater1Dined on 8/1/2014Mediocre is the only fitting description of Cafe Bouloud in Toronto..Special Features:
- Special eveningBuenprovechoDined on 8/1/2014Excellent staff + excellent food = a special evening. My father uses a walker and the staff were exceptionally helpful. Often older people get 2nd rate treatment but the server and sommelier were both fantastic.Special Features:
- Glacial serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/29/2014The food was, as usual, fine, but we waited one hour for our first course on a not-busy night. Then the mains were slow coming out, so much so that the waiter apologized for the kitchen. We were not amused; this was not at all the way we had been looked after on previous visits.
- Memorable eveningHHIGeorgeDined on 7/28/2014Cocktails downstairs in a rather "happening" bar with attentive servers led to a delicious dinner upstairs. The effusive hostess could not have been better or more efficient in handling our table request and then the server took over to make certain that our dinner was enjoyable and memorable. Expensive but never felt rushed and had a delicious meal with excellent wine.Special Features:
- Sublimeluv2dineDined on 7/28/2014You are visiting Toronto, friends are not available, so you are eating alone. And you want a superb dining experience. Go to Daniel Boulud's Cafe! Attentive staff, willing to go out of their way to ensure you are having the best that they offer, wonderful food and exquisite wines--would that I could make it through the wine list! And the little extras: allowing you to sample a taste of another wine that would have been good with your meal, just so you can compare; the woman at the front who greets you tells you about the possibilities of Groupon and Travel 100 and writes out the information for you; and the staff who check on your progress and are interested in your comments on each course. What more could one ask? Delightful!Special Features:
- PerfectionFredDined on 7/28/2014A magnificent meal, service and overall experience. The sea bass was perfection.Special Features:
- Perhaps Intended for Younger DinersRapidanBearDined on 7/27/2014I appreciated the ambience and service at Cafe Boulud, and the interesting, albeit expensive, wine list. The food, however, was very, very rich. Oddly enough, my sweetbread first course was not one of the richer treatments of that and I liked it quite a bit. The sweetbreads had not, however, been properly trimmed and still had too much tough membrane. The paella main course was surprisingly rich, with odd infusions of butter. I tasted my wife's roasted pork, which was excellent, but also quite rich. A friend had the lamb and was very happy with it, so perhaps my problem was one of selection, rather than innate richness. The deserts were fantastic. In particular, I recommend the frozen grapefruit desert.Special Features:
- Low on abience and high on priceSobeFoodieVIPDined on 7/25/2014Designed poorly, poorly decorated, cafeteria tables and chairs, lots of open space, no tablecloths, very echo-like, no charm. Wall hangings strange. Not warm or cozy. Very very pricey. A show-off place for people to throw around lots of money. My bill for one person came to $220. with tip. Good food but not usual. Good service. Would not go back. A waste of time. Better value elsewhere in the city.Special Features:
- Found out...Jay12Dined on 7/23/2014We went to Cafe Boulud to celebrate a friend's birthday. We ordered paellas, were fine, nothing extraordinary, but the size, they had an appetizer size, however they were listed as a main dish. Even though we mentioned it, this time there was no mini cake or birthday demonstration. When I went 2 months ago for brunch, for my boyfriend's birthday, sizes were huge, they brought us for free delicious warm madeleines!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- EricDined on 7/23/2014Delicious! The service was great, atmosphere was fabulous. A must in Toronto!Special Features:

Quicken 2010 Takes Cues from the Web
Quicken continues to improve--and offers solid value for those who track their personal finances with desktop software
With so many Web sites offering capable--and free--personal finance management tools, why would you pay $30, or significantly more, for a desktop application? To find out, I looked at a shipping copy of Quicken Premier 2010, and was impressed by the improvements I found over previous versions. Even with no serious retail competition in the wake of Microsoft's decision to stop selling Microsoft Money, Intuit continues to refine a product with much to offer those seeking full-featured tracking and planning. But its primary appeal will be to people who are more comfortable keeping their financial information off the Web than using the cloud.
Interestingly, however, Web-based finance apps appear to inform many of the improvements in Intuit's 2010 desktop line. A major interface overhaul begins with a home screen that reflects the simplified design esthetic of sites such as Rudder and Mint (the latter is in the final stages of acquisition by Intuit): You see three stacked modules, starting with a colorful pie chart showing the previous month's spending by major categories along with (in large type) the total spent.
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter and Killer Apps blog. ]
The middle module shows what bills are coming due in the next two weeks, along with Quicken's calculations (based on your input for income) of how much money (again shown in large type) you'll have left in your spending accounts after paying them. And finally, you get bar charts showing how your spending for the current month in key categories (categories you choose) tracks against your budget for those categories.
Overall, the new home screen is attractive and informative, but as with previous versions, you're free to customize it to your preference: Adding, for example, an investment account module by clicking the View button at the top right of the screen was as simple as adding a button to a Windows toolbar.
Like its Web-based brethren, Quicken continues to offer automated downloads of transaction data from financial institutions--but few, if any, can match its breadth of support. Intuit says Quicken 2010 supports some 6700 financial institutions that hold approximately 90 percent of all U.S. deposits. (However, over 10,000 small institutions still aren't supported, so check with yours if this feature is important.) I didn't run into a single problem in setting up automatic data downloads from various checking, credit card, and investment accounts at the Bank of America, Chase, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab. As in previous versions, you can rename transactions (which sometimes download with cryptic abbreviations), and Quicken lets you set up rules so that this is done automatically.
Intuit says that one major improvement drawn from anonymized analysis of Quicken Online usage is improved auto-categorization of downloaded transactions based on payee. It's still not perfect--I had to change roughly 20 percent of its categorization decisions--but the software gets better over time as it learns from your own categorization choices. Since categories can be associated with line items in tax returns, accurate and complete categorization can be a big help at tax time--and is of course vital for useful financial planning.

Ten fun things you can take away from otherwise forgettable video game films
[Continued] Page 2
Shang Tsung Actually Makes a Good Heihachi
The name Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa may not be immediately recognized by some of you, but he's starred in a number of memorable action flicks over the years, including Licence To Kill and Showdown In Little Tokyo. However, with the original Mortal Kombat film, he took the Shang Tsung role and absolutely made it his, complete with all of the character's signature taunts ("Fatality!") and attitude. What might blow your mind a little further, though, is how he managed to embrace another villain for a video game film. In Tekken, he appears as Heihachi Mishima, and while that sounds somewhat weak, he actually portrays that role very well, too. Too bad we can't say the same for Robin Shou, who went from being Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat films to…Gen in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. We don't get it either.
Super Mario Bros. Would Be Great With a Bob Hoskins Commentary
Super Mario Bros. the Movie. Ugh, really, enough said. The writer/director team of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel took Nintendo's beloved franchise and tossed it into a flaming pile of crap, with enough bad jokes, lame story twists and ridiculously bad performances ("Hold the mammal!") to fit several films. But it's fun to watch drunk with friends, and we can't help but think how much fun it would be to sit down with Bob Hoskins, who played Mario in the film, and just chat about how god awful it is. In an interview that followed the film's release years later, Hoskins explained that it was simply "the worst thing I ever did", using expletives to get the point across. It'd be funny to see what scenes irked him the most…or how bad he thought Dennis Hopper's make-up was. Oh, well, we'll never have that opportunity, so just do the next best thing and watch this with your friends. And keep some alcohol within reach.
The Andy Dick Weatherman Bit In Double Dragon
Need a fulfilling reason to watch the Double Dragon movie? We really can't think of one. Not even Alyssa Milano in her post-Who's the Boss days in jean shorts can really remedy the pain we've taken away from the film. However, if you want to take away an ideal moment from it, try a newscast. For some odd reason, the producers thought it would be a good idea to make Wheel of Fortune spinstress Vanna White and super-mega-bronze George Hamilton news reporters. No. BUT they did hit the nail on the head when they brought in Andy Dick to do the weather report, wearing a really bad cloud vest and talking about how the "fogcast" affected the area. It's a fleeting moment, but you'll have more fun sitting through that than trying to watch his atrocious Division III: Football's Finest. Talk about your bad movies.
Timothy Olyphant Actually Makes a Decent Agent 47
Out of some really bad game movies, we actually get some decent performances from actors who really feel like they fill in their roles. Angelina Jolie, for instance, makes a very good Lara Croft, complete with curves and plenty of guff to back them up. But it's Timothy Olyphant that might catch you off guard in the Hitman film adaptation, a movie that's easily forgotten due to its over-direction and bad story. If you stick with it, though, you'll find that Olyphant, just coming off his villainous performance in Live Free Or Die Hard, serves the role well, complete with trademark bald head, suit and pistols. If you need another reason to watch, though, there's Olga Kurylenko, who definitely shows off a fair amount of skin. That's a decent Friday night there if we do say so ourselves.
Uwe Boll Will Never Make a Good Film. Now Drink Up His Rottenness.
If you're looking for Uwe Boll to ever redeem himself in film, let's face facts, he won't. He'll fight the way he make films till the day he stops completely, and nothing you can say or do will change that. So with that, just try to have fun with how truly awful his films are. Start with House of the Dead and marvel at the unnecessary camera spins. Sit through Alone In the Dark and wonder just how legitimate a researcher Tara Reid makes. Wonder at BloodRayne and marvel at Ben Kingsley's underacting abilities. (Yes, he actually has some.) Take in Postal and try to avoid looking directly at a naked Dave Foley. Then wash it all down with Til Schweiger in Far Cry, comparing him to a younger Dolph Lundgren, but without the appeal. There's just no getting around to the fact that he'll never make a faithful game film. But at least he made good fodder to drink by.
